Belize Revisited #456596
"How long do you intend to stay in Belize sir?"
"I'm not sure. We thought we'd just play it by ear and see what happens."
"Well, enjoy Belize whatever you do. Welcome to Belize!" Said the Immigration Officer in a strong Caribbean accent as he stamped our passports. We climbed back into the car and left Mexico behind, geographically and culturally. Belize is a different world.
Gone is the litter, gone are the packs of dogs (generally) and gone is the everyday struggle to speak a second language. Mexico has been tough. Really tough. To be fair to Mexico it has generally been due to a run of bad luck, rather than Mexico per se. But either way it feels good to be back. Eight years is a long time and it's difficult to believe it has been that long since we were last here, but the place hasn't changed much. People still smile and wave as we drive by. Everywhere feels welcoming, easy and laid back.
As we left the northern Mexico/Belize border behind we first arrived in sleepy Orange Walk. Most places were closed for Sunday and the streets were empty as we drove around looking for a bank where we could get some Belize dollars. We found both an ATM and a Chinese takeaway. Result! We also later found Marmite in Belize City, panic on the streets at the hands of an over reaction to a few gang member killings and a right rear puncture on the Niva which led to Liz acting as a counter-weigh so I could jack the car up.
With full bellies and wallets we drove on to Crooked Tree, named after the misshapen trees that were logged by Scottish settlers over two hundred years ago. The Scottish settlers married freed slaves and both the cultural mix and the crooked trees can still be seen in the village today. (Although we didn't actually see anybody with ginger hair.) We used Crooked Tree as the base to revisit the Maya ruins of Lamanai. Meaning 'sunken crocodile', the ruins sit on the shore of the New River Lagoon and most people take a boat from Orange Walk to reach the ruins. We however decided to drive there via the Mennonite village Shipyard. It felt odd trundling along the road, dodging buggies pulled by horses and people in dungarees and wide brimmed bonnets. If nothing else, Belize is diverse in every way.
Last year alone Lamanai had over 23,000 visitors. So it came as a nice surprise that we were the only people there. The ticket attendant dozed in the hot sun as we walked along the jungle track to the entrance and he sat up with a bit of a start as John said hello enthusiastically. Despite John's lack of manners he was allowed in for free and made Lamanai his play ground. We marvelled at the pyramids with admiration while John scampered over them with total abandon. For his own good and the good of the ruins he eventually went on the lead. He had his first encounter with howler monkeys and a single spindly and rather territorial spider monkey. We found it's not easy to take the animated protestations of a spider monkey seriously. No matter how hard they shake the branches, beat their chests and shriek they still look far to flimsy to perceive as anything other than comical. They look a little like a rather hairy but naked Spike Milligan.
Having had our intended snorkelling activities rudely interrupted by a crippled Andy Patrick back in Mexico (who I've very pleased to say is now home and beginning to mend), we drove south to Hopkins with a view to swimming with the fishes. We had never been before and relished the idea of a beach break. A bit of snorkelling, some good food, Garifuna culture and walks along silvery beaches with the sand between our toes. It turned out to be a day of looking for a section of beach that didn't have twenty cabanas on it or twenty dogs. The wind howled and the sand blew in our faces and we ate overly salty food in the rain. We left Hopkins behind for the Mayflower Reserve, twelve miles inland, where we found tranquillity, jungle waterfalls and a place to sleep for £3.00. We stayed for three days.
Eventually, the need for washing overcame us. We had been intending to wash some clothes since before we went to the aid of Andy in Mexico, and even then the need for washing was getting desperate. (By the way Andy, we somehow have two pairs of your undies. They're very comfortable.) We decided to drive northwest to San Ignacio to do the washing and then on to Mountain Pine Ridge for some more solitude. However, our plans changed when we saw an email from Ray at Pook's Hill saying, "pop in". So we did. We had looked after Pook's Hill Jungle Lodge for a short spell last time we were here and had become firm friends with the owners – Ray and Vicki. On our way to San Ignacio we called in with the intention of seeing when would be convenient to stay longer but in true Pook's fashion we ended up staying the night. In all our travels around the world we have found that the tranquillity of Pook's Hill cannot be surpassed. It is a truly special place and it was lovely to catch up with Ray.
We did however tear ourselves away the next day, reluctantly, and are now in Mountain Pine Ridge as intended. We have just this moment done the washing in a mountain stream and have turned the pine trees into a Chinese laundry. We've been enjoying travelling some of the lesser-used roads in Mountain Pine Ridge and are currently camping at the corner of Navy Road and Silvestre Road. Neither road is on any map and the sign is hand painted. We're not actually too sure where we are to be honest. We're surrounded by overly large and fresh puma tracks which appear to have been hot on the heals of a tapir. I hope the tapir is still in one piece but can't help but hope that the puma has also recently eaten! It's nice to be here – kind of. There's a soft whistle in the air as a breeze drifts through the pines. They're silhouetted against a cloudless sky and a million stars in every direction. There isn't a car to be heard, there isn't a single light from an overhead plane, just as there is no light pollution from a village or town anywhere near. Neither Navy Road, nor Silvestre Road has a single tire track upon it, other than ours. The only marks on the road are our own, the wildlife or those of the fissures made by the seasonal rains. No one has been here in a very long time. Belize is only a small country but it is still so easy to loose yourself here. Belize is a very special place.
This will be our last blog for a while. Now that we're here we'll be visiting friends and chilling out for a while. There won't be too much 'blog worthy' stuff happening; just plenty of washing in all probability.

MESA Community College Program Helps Mark Bennett Overcome the Odds
MCAC Honors President Emmert
When he was a homeless youth, Mark Bennett spent time in the University of Washington's Odegaard Undergraduate Library to escape the cold weather. Now a junior at the UW, he visits the same library to study math.
Bennett took an unconventional route to a four-year university. But thanks to the support from the Washington MESA (Math, Science, Engineering and Mathematics) Community College Program and organizations like YouthCare, life is on the upswing for the 26-year-old single father. The journey to get here, however, has not been easy.
Originally from Renton, Wash., Bennett describes coming from a neglectful family and enduring some difficult teenage years. He wanted to join a gang at age 13, struggled with alcohol addiction and "threw away" anyone who wanted to hold him accountable for his actions.
"I burned all the bridges in my life," he said.
From homeless youth to UW math major, Mark Bennett overcame the odds to pursue higher education thanks to support services from the Washington MESA Community College Program.
At age 17, he became a father and dropped out of high school to live with his then-girlfriend and newborn son in Elma. However the relationship ended and addiction took over his life. At age 19, he was back in Seattle, homeless and at the lowest point of his life.
"I was destroyed," he said. "I was alone. I was feeling insane because of the addiction. I couldn't tell the difference between what was physically in front of me and going on in my head. Nobody wanted to be around me. I was full of anxiety, fear and all the things that go along with that."
Bennett eventually sought help at YouthCare's Orion Center in downtown Seattle. But in order for him to have a place to stay, he was required to change.
"There was no lying anymore because if you do lie to them, no one is going to help you," he said. "Then I found out that maybe things would get better, so I started getting some hope. These people believed in me even when I was a mess."
With the help of YouthCare and other organizations like the YMCA, Bennett got sober and went into recovery. He earned his high school diploma, enrolled at Seattle Central Community College, got off the streets, moved into transitional housing, squared away his legal records and gained custody of his son.
He also discovered that he liked math.
But when he started taking classes at Seattle Central he was still homeless and quite intimidated by the college atmosphere. He didn't feel like he belonged there and struggled to find other students he could identify with. Then he learned about the Washington MESA Community College Program (WA MCCP).
WA MCCP provides academic advising, professional development, academic excellence workshops and transfer-support services to help underrepresented, first-generation and low-income community college students excel and ultimately attain bachelor's degrees in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) fields.
It currently serves over 350 students annually at six campuses throughout the state: Columbia Basin, Edmonds, Highline, Olympic, Seattle Central and Yakima Valley. Each campus center has a dedicated director, advising and faculty support. Program results feature a fall-to-fall persistence rate of 76 percent for MCCP students compared to 44 percent for non-MESA students.
MESA originally began as a pre-college program in 1970, but the need to serve the diverse STEM community college population prompted the beginnings of MCCP in 1991. It was successfully replicated in states like Washington. WA MCCP, established in 2009, is supported by funding from the National Science Foundation and administered by the UW Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity (OMA&D).

Although NSF funding for the program ends in June, recent legislative efforts have yielded state funding for the 2014-15 academic year. Efforts to sustain the program into the next biennium are also underway.
"We are very excited about the program's success rate, even more so now that the state has seen the positive results and will invest in this STEM community college transfer model," said Verónica Guajardo, WA MCCP assistant director.
"The positive numbers speak for themselves, but the individual lives touched are what make this project so powerful," she said. "MCCP is about access, equity and academic preparation. Yet it's also about changing the landscape of STEM by helping our students' dream of becoming an engineer or biologist, helping them craft a realistic and rigorous academic plan and following through with support, accountability and a gentle nudge. Well, sometimes it's a firm push. Sometimes they can't believe what we believe about their potential and can't see what we see in them."
When Bennett found MESA, he found a place to study and connect with students he could identify with. He spent time in the center for at least one hour per day, five days a week.
"We were all a little community," he said. "We were having fun, but we were also talking about how we can do this. It became a real comfortable place for me to go to study and get away from all the noise that's going on in school. A lot of the people in MESA I could relate to a lot more. Sometimes it's just nice to see people from cultures that are similar to mine."
MESA also provided an outlet for Bennett to learn some important life-skills such as making friendships and sustaining a social network, a task that proved difficult while struggling with addiction. When it came time to start thinking about the future, MESA was there to help him navigate the unknown and apply to four-year universities.
"MESA made things a lot more visible than they used to be," Bennett said. "I wanted to be a math major, but I didn't know which way to go, which direction or where to go. MESA did a good job of showing opportunities. They said 'there is a ladder and here's the ladder.'"
What followed was an acceptance letter to the UW and with it, a validation moment.
"It meant you do belong and you can be in academia, you can work hard and you can study," he said.

After receiving an associate's degree in physics and mathematics, Bennett transferred to the UW last fall. He was excited about where life was going. He was excelling in class and focusing on his health by riding his bike to campus every day. Then two days before midterms on Oct. 28, his mother passed away unexpectedly. Bennett was struck with grief but called on his supports and didn't miss class. In fact, he scored 100 percent on his linguistics exam the very next day.
"Even though we had this dysfunctional relationship, I know that my mom wouldn't want me to use and lose everything that I have," he said. "I remember that she would want me to continue to work hard. The thing is I'm just really committed to wanting to be a math major. I love math, I love studying, I love academia. I also love recovery and I love my family. I stay focused on these things."
Bennett finished his first quarter at UW with two 4.0's and a 3.9. He continues to study, ride his bike and model healthy living for his son. He is affiliated with OMA&D's Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) that supports students in STEM and will participate in the UW Department of Mathematics' Research Experience for Undergraduates program this summer. He has his sights set on becoming involved in the UW Math Club and the Ronald E. McNair Program in the future.
Bennett's accomplishments and perseverance have not gone unnoticed. He was asked by Seattle Central to speak at his commencement ceremony on June 15, 2013, the four-year anniversary of his sobriety.
Mark Bennett shared his story with 1,100 attendees at YouthCare's 40th annual luncheon at the Westin in downtown Seattle, March 13.Erin Rowley
He also spoke at the 17th annual King County Mental Health and Substance Abuse Legislative Forum at Town Hall on Nov. 13. Last month, he shared his story with over 1,100 people at YouthCare's Annual Luncheon at the Westin.
Bennett received a standing ovation at all three events. Surely a fourth will follow when he receives the Wells Fargo Vice President's Achievement Award at OMA&D's 44th annual EOP Celebration at the Husky Union Building on May 22.
Bennett continues to do the best he can and focus on the future. When things get tough, all he has to do is think about how grateful he is for his current situation.
"Nothing can be worse than where I was before," he said.

Main Types of Concrete Failure & The Rapid Set Solution
Civil engineeringRehabilitation and RepairsExpedient Pavements
Using traditional concrete products leaves projects open to a myriad of potential failures. Due to this possibility, there is a higher ongoing cost over time for both maintenance and repairs. Avoiding these failures altogether can be accomplished by using innovative and high-quality products including Rapid Set concrete, also known as belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cement.
What Is Rapid Set Concrete?
Rapid Set concrete offers several characteristics that provide superior performance. It's a durable, fast-curing, and strong product that sets in as little as 15 minutes. It can also be retarded for as long as 45 minutes, if the project needs more working time.
Rapid Set concrete also demonstrates high early strengths according to laboratory trials: 20 MPs at one hour, 35 MPs at three hours, and 55 MPa at 24 hours.
It's worth noting that Rapid Set concrete is not the same product sold in most hardware stores, as they do not contain the belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) chemical compound. For this reason, most concrete you find in-store does not have the strength and durability properties that BCSA possesses.
Types of Concrete Failures
Why does using traditional concrete set projects up to potential failure? We've outlined the common types of concrete failures below, while highlighting how Rapid Set concrete addresses these issues.
Shrinkage is caused by mix water evaporation that prompts changes in volume as the cement hydrates. Known as autogenous shrinkage, it's a characteristic that is important to everyone. As a matter of fact, every concrete specification includes a certain shrinkage limit.
Putting joints in concrete is a method that helps control the cracks that can occur due to the internal tension caused by shrinkage. Depending on the workmanship involved, shrinkage can be a large or minimal issue. Other problems within the project can also cause shrinkage as a carry-over consequence.
Rapid Set concrete reduces the issue of shrinkage because it's designed to shrink three to four times less than Portland concrete. Another characteristic of Rapid Set concrete is that its quick strength gain enables the material to resist shrinkage on a synergistic level. Therefore, using Rapid Set concrete could potentially reduce a project's dependence on joints.
Curling and Warping
Curling and warping are inherent properties of concrete, so this type of failure will also occur. The possibility of it becoming an issue is dependent on the application. For example, curling and warping can be a problem when it happens to road slabs. However, this may be of little importance when it comes to developing footpaths.
The heating and cooling of concrete causes curling and warping. While putting joints in concrete is a common way of controlling this issue, the curled edges may suffer from cracks and other joint issues when traffic moves over them.
Typically, the slab must be completely replaced or rehabbed at the least. The use of the road, as well as the costs involved, make this issue especially problematic.
On the other hand, Rapid Set concrete has been extensively tested in an elaborate field trial alongside Professor Vute Sirivivatnanon from the University of Technology Sydney. The results revealed that BSCA concrete performs on par with other high-quality Portland concrete.
Dusting is another type of concrete failure that is caused by a weakened concrete surface. This is typically the result of either bleed water that is worked back into the concrete or inadequate curing. When bleed water remains for longer periods of time, such as in colder climates, dusting can be a common issue.
When dusting occurs, surfaces will need to be replaced or repaired with a hardening product, which helps address the reduced resistance to impact and abrasion this issue brings. Using Rapid Set concrete, however, indirectly reduces the chances of dusting occurring because it doesn't bleed.
Plastic Cracking
The changing weather is the primary cause of plastic cracking, which is why careful planning prior to pouring concrete is a must. In most cases, mild cracks are usually only a cosmetic issue.
Deeper cracks, however, could reduce the durability of the concrete and lead to the penetration of chlorides and other issues more quickly. Because Rapid Set concrete remains plastic for only a short amount of time, it is less likely to lose moisture.
Longitudinal Cracking
This type of cracking happens across a paving run's length. It does so because drying shrinkage leads to internal tension.
Joints are often put into place in an effort to reduce this issue. It can be, however, difficult to identify the right time to saw the joints.
Because longitudinal cracking ranges from moderate to severe, it often compromises the integrity and longevity of concrete. And because Rapid Set hardens fast and helps reduce shrinkage stresses, it works better when used in conjunction with joints.
Curing and Timings
Curing and timing is extremely important when it comes to ensuring maximum concrete strength. When concrete is traveled over or when bolts are inserted too early while the concrete doesn't yet have the structural strength required, the integrity of the project could be an issue.
With traditional concrete, the typical curing timeline ranges from three to seven days. Because of this curing timeline, Portland concrete is often not usable for a minimum of seven days.
Rapid Set, on the other hand, delivers an accelerated hydration curve that makes water curing unnecessary. Once Rapid Set has been placed, it is usable in as quick as 2 hours.
While traditional Portland concrete has a maximum holding time before it becomes unusable, this is not true of Rapid Set. Once the truck arrives, it can pour the concrete at any time while still retaining its usability.

Tired of buying the same old Christmas gifts year in and year out?
How about buying some unusual Christmas gifts this year? It's always fun to find something a little bit different and novelty to give to a loved one as a gift. Unusual Christmas gifts tend to stand out a little bit from the crowd and are often more remembered than traditional gifts.
Generally speaking, I think of unusual Christmas Gifts as being anything that's handmade, unique, personalized or just not mass-produced.
If you fancy yourself as a crafty person, then you could always consider making your own Christmas gifts. This is a great way to show the ones you love that that you have put some extra thought into gift-giving, and at the same time you will probably save some money, too! Check out these two excellent hubs for some excellent homemade bath and beauty gifts, as well as handmade gifts that cost very little money.
If you don't feel like making your own gifts, or don't have the time, then how about looking to local businesses or creative entrepreneurs for some of their own ideas for unusual Christmas gifts?
Handmade jewelry is growing increasingly popular and it's nice to know that while supporting a small business you can also buy something handmade and unique that would be perfect for a Christmas gift that's just a "little bit different" and not mass-produced in stores.
Any gift that features the recipient's name, bears a personalized message, or is made just for them, is really quite special! A personalized gift implies that a certain amount of extra thought and consideration has been put into buying the gift and could therefore be considered unusual and unique.

What are Your Ideas for Unusual Christmas Gifts?
hah.. these gifts are way different but I really like some. I like homemade gifts, but I am not very good with craft. thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Came back for another visit. Really a helpful hub.
I miss you and keep looking for you on hubpages.
I love handmade Gifts and These Christmas Gifts Ideas are really great ideas - Voted Up !
Thank you Cloverleaf. These are great ideas.
These are all great gift ideas. I'm going to check these out.
I like homemade gifts for Christmas. Wow..!
I love personalized gifts. My name is so unusual, you can't just find it on the shelves. It would have to be handmade or special order.
I love homemade gifts, especially handmade jewelry. Great Hub. Voted Up!
Homemade gifts I think are so much nicer. One year I made everyone a stained glass piece specifically for what that person liked. It did take me almost all year to do it but in the end it was well worth it. Excellent hub!
I love the homemade gifts. To me that's the way to go. You have included such terrific sites. Thanks for sharing.
Whoa!!!Wait a sec. . .I didn't mean to miss this one. . .I just have been sooo busy crafting along making all those handmade gifts, phew! LOL!
Great hub, Cloverleaf! Now, I'll take you up on your great idea and head over to Amazon to find something for those men in my life who most certainly will not appreciate a decoupaged, vintage jewelry box as a gift. . .I liked the coffee-mug idea.
Voted up and very, very useful!
Missed this, great ideas and I have always loved putting love into gifts, I wish more people agreed with it. I will try to catch up with you, sorry, have been super busy.
Personalized gifts work great especially for the grandparents. We got my MIL a t-shirt with the kids photo on it last year and you would have thought we gave her a bag of gold. She loved it!
i loved the hub new to the hub pages this one made me laugh. I remember one Christmas i told my mom i wanted to get my dad Lincoln logs it was so funny to see him open that gift. Even though my brother and i played with them, dad too sometimes. I think it brought back his childhood, now it's puzzles and dad loves em still even the Halloween Where's Waldo one was funny. The best thing about the holidays is giving not getting. the hub was great can't wait to read more.
Thank you for this wonderful hub on this coming Christmas season. I enjoyed reading it and I found it entertaining. thanks again for your opinions and ideas.
hailei, I enjoyed your Christmas gift ideas also! The "Personalized Movie on DVD" link above is my Mum's home business I was telling you about.
hmmm... that's great I've been scratching my head for few days and suddenly got your hub.
Nice hub. I am going to check out some of the websites you listed. Not much of a crafty person, although I enjoyed reading your other hubs. I like the idea of personalized gifts.

This is a great hub. I like to give unusual or homemade gifts. This summer I made lots of jellies, jams, and conserves to put into homemade gift baskets as gifts for Christmas. They especially work for someone who has everything.
Great hub. Voting up and awesome.
Great tips! I love giving homemade gifts that I've made myself or purchased from other artisans. Sometimes this includes personalized items! I'm sure that I will be giving at least a couple homemade gifts this Christmas.

Multinational Enterprises...
Multinational Enterprises with Footprint in EU Affected by Proposed Public Tax Disclosure Rules
On April 12, 2016, the European Commission published its proposal to introduce public tax disclosure rules for certain multinational enterprises (MNEs). As currently drafted, the disclosure obligations would fall on MNEs that have a footprint within the EU and a global consolidated turnover in excess of €750 million. This is the case regardless of whether the MNE is headquartered within the EU.
In summary, the proposed rules would require certain MNEs annually and publicly to disclose, among other information, the jurisdictions in which they make their profits and the amount of tax they suffer.
Who must comply?
Under the current proposals, MNEs that fall within any of the following four categories would be subject to these rules:
MNEs that have an EU parent and a global consolidated net turnover exceeding €750 million;
EU companies (not part of a group) that have a net turnover exceeding €750 million;
MNEs that do not have an EU parent but have one or more EU subsidiaries and have a global consolidated net turnover exceeding €750 million; and
MNEs that do not have an EU parent but have one or more EU branches and have a global consolidated net turnover exceeding €750 million.
There are circumstances in which certain smaller EU branches and subsidiaries would not trigger the disclosure obligation. In practice, however, it is expected that such an exception would only apply to a limited number of such branches and subsidiaries.
Consequently, the public disclosure obligations would have a broad application and would be expected to apply to many businesses with an EU presence, regardless of where the ultimate parent company may be based.1
What information must be publicly disclosed?
As currently drafted, an affected entity must annually report (in respect of itself, its parent undertaking and other group entities consolidated for financial reporting purposes) information on the nature of its activities, number of employees, net turnover (including turnover with related parties), profit/loss before tax, tax accrued on such profits and the amount of tax actually paid, and accumulated earnings. To the extent that there are material discrepancies between the taxes accrued and taxes actually paid, the report must include, at group level, an explanation of such material discrepancies.
The above information would need to be presented separately for each EU Member State. Where the information relates to activity in non-EU jurisdictions, it could be presented in aggregate, unless it relates to certain jurisdictions that the EU considers do not respect "international tax good governance standards."2
The report would need to be published on both the company website and in the company register and be publicly accessible for at least five years. The European Commission has stated that non-compliance will be sanctioned by "effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties."3
The proposal includes a requirement for auditors to check and confirm that the report has been provided and made accessible in accordance with the rules. It is not clear whether this is just a "mechanical" check (i.e., has the report been made and in the correct manner) or whether the audit obligation is more extensive.
The proposal has been submitted to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU for approval. Once adopted, the new rules would have to be transposed into national legislation by all EU Member States within one year after entry into force.
Since the announcement of the proposal, it is understood that further discussions have taken place. Two key aspects on which discussions have centered relate to whether the €750 million threshold should be lowered, and whether reporting of non-EU jurisdiction information should be aggregated (as is currently proposed) or instead reported on a country-by-country basis.
It is clear that the proposal could have far-reaching consequences for any company with business dealings within the EU. Consequently, it is important for potentially affected MNEs to closely monitor further developments and consider the impact the proposal could have on their business operations.
1 These rules do not modify similar rules already applicable to banks and other financial institutions pursuant to Article 89 of Directive 2013/36/EU (CRDIV). Such entities are, however, exempted from double reporting where the information already provided for CRDIV purposes encompasses all the activities of the group (banking and non-banking). This will generally be the case only if the bank is headquartered in the EU.
2 These would include jurisdictions that do not comply with transparency and exchange of information rules, fair tax competition, G20, OECD or Financial Action Task Force standards. The EU has undertaken to agree on and publish a common list of such jurisdictions.
3 Such penalties may be applied pursuant to Article 51 of Directive 2013/34/EU.

Reuters Authorities in Thailand's capital are banishing its world-famous street-food vendors as part of a clean-up drive by the military government, outraging foodies and threatening the livelihoods of the road-side cooks.
Thailand's street-food hawkers whip up tasty delights, from noodles and fried rice to oyster omelettes, in the blink of an eye, often with little more than a gas-cannister kitchen on a cart.
Bangkok is often voted the world's best destination for street food in travel polls. Residents and visitors throng to the makeshift restaurants, often with plastic stools and tiny tables strung out on pavements in almost every neighbourhood.
But that's soon all going to change under an edict aimed at bringing order to the bustling city of some 12 million people.
"We would like the consumers, tourists or even the Thai patrons to be entitled to sanitary food, so far I don't think we have achieved that," Wallop Suwandee, chief adviser to Bangkok's governor, told Reuters.
He said food stalls would be moved off the pavements and some could be relocated to new sites.
The edict has left roadside dessert vendor Chaluay Thongku, 56, wondering how he can re-build a business.
"I disagree with this because I'll have to start all over again," he said.
Food writer Korakot Punlopruksa said vendors were being unfairly treated.
"This is disgraceful and not fair to people … This is how the city value people? This is how the authorities solve the problem? I don't think so," she wrote in a Facebook post.
The clean-up is part of a wider effort by the military government, which came to power after a 2014 coup, to impose order.
The junta has cracked down on various issues ranging from taxi gangs at airports to prostitution, which is illegal in Thailand, with mostly mixed results.

Components Of Computer And Their Function
ByAnkush Prasad April 20, 2021 August 24, 2021
Computer system
COMPONENTS OF COMPUTER SYSTEM ARE:
1.INPUT DEVICES
2.CPU(Central processing unit)
In CPU's, There are three components:
FUNCTION OF COMPUTER SYSTEM
A computer system is an electronic device that can receive data, perform arithmetic and logical operation and produces the results.
The Computer systems consist of three basic components are CPU(Central Processing Unit), Input, and Output devices. Input devices provide data 'input to processors' e.g KEYBOARD, If we enter any button in the keyboard it can display the result in the output device e.g(monitor). The processing of data is done by the CPU(Central processing unit).
CPU(central processing unit)
CU(Control unit)
ARITHMETIC & LOGIC UNIT
Memory unit
An input device is hardware that is used to provide data to a computer used for entering data and program in a computer system. Since the computer is an electronic device like any other machine which takes as inputs raw data and performs some processing giving out processed data, the input unit takes data from the user to the computer in an organized manner for the processing.
Some of the popular components of input devices are keyboard, mouse, joystick, microphone, Sound card/Sound chip, Webcam/Softcam, Video card/GPU(Graphics processing unit), etc.
The central processing unit(CPU) is the main processor of the computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program. It performs the basic arithmetical logical, and input/output operations of a computer system. It is also known as the Brain of the Computer because It controls the operation of all parts of the computer.
The first CPU was invented by an Italian physicist "Federico Faggin" invented the first commercial CPU. It was the Intel 4004 released by Intel in 1971.
Some of the popular components of CPU are Motherboard, RAM(random access drive), HDD/SSD(hard disk drive/solid-state drive), CD/DVD drive(compact disk/Digital versatile disc), SMPS(switch-mode power supply), Expansion card, Bus cable, Cooling Fans, etc.
a) CU(Control Unit)
A control unit is the component of the CPU(central processing unit). The control unit determines the sequence in which computer programs and instructions are executed. It integrates the operations of the computer and retrieves instructions from the main memory. It also acts like a switchboard operator where several users access the computer simultaneously.
And, its coordinates the activities of computer peripherals equipment as they perform as like input and output. The components of the control unit are registers, control signals within the CPU, control signals from the bus, control bus, input flags, and clock signals.
b) ALU(Arithmetic and logic unit)
The arithmetic and logic unit is the part of the CPU(central processing unit). Its performs arithmetic and logical operations on data. An ALU can be designed by engineers to calculate many different operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, shifting, etc.
The operation is performed on represented numbers, both integer and floating-point numbers.
c) MEMORY UNIT
A memory unit is also a part of the CPU(central processing unit) and it is an important part of a computer system where all the data are stored in the form of a Binary Digit (0&1). Computer systems use a variety of devices for storing instruction and data. A computer system is a place where the computers hold data and program which are in use.
Computer memory refers to the physical devices in a computer, If our CPU had to consantly access the hard drive to retrieve every piece of data it requires.
Basically memory unit is broadly categorized into two types:
a) PRIMARY MEMORY/ MAIN MEMORY
In primary memory includes RAM(Random Access Memory), ROM(Read Only Memory), etc. It has a faster access time, smaller storage capacity, and higher cost per bit of storage.
b) SECONDARY MEMORY/ AUXILIARY MEMORY
In secondary memory includes Hard Disk, Floppy Disk, Magnetic Disk, Magnetic Tapes, CD/DVD etc.
Output devices are those devices where they receive all the information from the computer and carry out the data that has been processed by the computer to the user. Output devices display information on the screen(monitor) or the printer has sent the information to the other computers. And, also display messages about what errors may be occurred and brings up a message or dialog box asking for more information to be input.
Some of the popular components of output devices are Speakers, Headphones, Screen (Monitor), Printer, Braille embosser, Projector, television etc.
ALU(Arithmetic and logical unit)

Q: How to convert If statement to switch statement? how can I convert this if statement to switch statement by considering that I am using two variables here and I tried to solve it but not working
int child;
char gender;
int temp;
child=console.nextInt();
gender=console.next().charat(0);
if(gender=='m' && children>=4)
  temp =1;
else if(gender=='m' && children<4)
  temp =2;
else if(gender=='f' && children<4)
  temp =3;
else
  temp=4;
}

this is my code
   int children;
    double temp;
    char gender;
    children=console.nextInt();
    switch(children , gender )
    {
      case < 4, 'm':

        temp=1;
      break;

      default : salary=600;
    }

A: You should start by having a look at The switch Statement
The switch statement is basically evaluating a single condition per case.  You can use drop through conditions, but that's a lot of additional code.
For example, something like...
switch (gender) {
    case 'm':
        temp = 0;
        if (children >= 4) {
            temp += 1;
        } else {
            temp += 2;
        }
        break;
    case 'f':
        temp = 2;
        if (children >= 4) {
            temp += 2;
        } else {
            temp += 1;
        }
        break;
}

would generate the same results as your if statements
If you preferred to use pure switch statements, you could do something like...
switch (gender) {
    case 'm':
        temp = 0;
        switch (children) {
            case 0:
            case 1:
            case 2:
            case 3:
                temp += 2;
                break;
            default:
                temp += 1;
        }
        break;
    case 'f':
        temp = 2;
        switch (children) {
            case 0:
            case 1:
            case 2:
            case 3:
                temp += 1;
                break;
            default:
                temp += 2;
        }
        break;
}

Java's switch statement doesn't support ranges :(

A: switch (gender) {
case 'm':
    temp = (children >= 4)? 1:2;
    break;
case 'f':
    temp = (children >= 4)? 4:3;
    break;
default:
    temp = 4;
    break;

}

Elks anniversary stamp from 1968
This six-cent U.S. stamp was issued in 1968 and commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and its youth programs.
The National Postal Museum, operated as part of the Smithsonian Institution, has an amazing online database of U.S. stamps, called Arago. The database page for this 1968 issue provides the following historical information:
"The 6-cent Support Our Youth commemorative postage stamp was issued on May 1, 1968, at Chicago, Illinois, during National Youth Week, which was sponsored by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. The stamp was available at other post offices as fast as manufacturing facilities permitted, but there was some delay.
"In observance of its centennial that year, the BPOE extended its youth service program. One activity was a massive job hunt in some 2,100 communities to uncover summertime and part-time employment opportunities for young people.
"The stamp was designed by Edward Vebell of Westport, Connecticut, and was issued in panes of fifty, with an initial printing of 120 million."
Now, 47 years later, I'm using one of these stamps to send a York Fair postcard to a fellow Postcrossing user in Minden, Germany.

We provide 26-week (July – January) training programs for the half and full marathon. While our schedules are geared for the Houston race in January, many tailor their schedules for other races throughout the season. We have three pace groups for each of the distances and a WIDE range of paces for you to find a happy pace and face. Our organized runs are on Saturday mornings and informal groups that meet during the week in the morning/evenings. And then in the off-season, we continue to run…and run…and run.
Please email us at info@goparr.com for more information.


SPI Performance Coatings have considerable experience in the coating of commercial floors, including car park decking.
Our polyurea coatings provide a flexible, tough, resilient monolithic membrane with water and chemical resistance that can be specified in non-slip finishes. This makes them an ideal application for commercial flooring and car park decking as waterproofing, slip resistance and durability are key prerequisites for this type of application.
The coatings can be effectively applied quickly by trained technicians, reducing downtime for that part of the building, whilst extending the life of the flooring system.


Two romantically involved FBI officials who were removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team over a series of anti-Trump text messages still have Top Secret security clearances, Sen. Rand Paul revealed Wednesday.
Paul tweeted a letter he had sent the FBI in January asking whether Strzok and Page still had security clearances and whether they are able to "search FISA data or other classified databases".
BREAKING: FBI admits that @realDonaldTrump haters still have Top Secret security clearances which allows them to access sensitive private information!
"All FBI employees must maintain a Top Secret security clearance," wrote Gregory Brower, then assistant director of the FBI Office of Congressional Affairs. "Because of security concerns and law enforcement sensitivities, the FBI does not reveal the specific accesses granted to particular employees."
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported last week that Brower resigned his position last month to start a new job at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a Washington-based lobbying and law firm.
"So if [Strzok and Page are] still FBI agents, which apparently they are," Paul told Fox News' "Outnumbered Overtime," "the [FBI's] non-answer specifically really is an answer, and [it] says they can search our databases."
Strzok, a former deputy to the assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, was removed from the Mueller probe over the summer after the texts between him and Page during the 2016 presidential campaign came to light. In one exchange, Strzok referred to then-candidate Trump as "an idiot." In another, Page described Trump as "a loathsome human."
In all, the pair exchanged some 50,000 text messages throughout the campaign and first year of the Trump administration, many of them with anti-Trump sentiments.
Last month, GOP congressional investigators told Fox News some messages between Strzok and Page suggest coordination between high-ranking officials at the Obama White House, CIA, FBI, Justice Department and former Senate Democratic leadership in the early stages of the bureau's investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Paul told Fox News Wednesday that Strzok and Page "need to be fired. At the very least, they need to be suspended from any privileges to look at these databases until it's determined whether or not they can still remain at the FBI."


Commissioner Bill Bullock and Administrative Assistant Angela Newell were present; Commissioner Doug Tucker participated via phone.
Danny Mydland, Bob Adkins, Carl Devries, Scott Blain, and Gordon Sirrine were present.
8:40 Commissioner Bullock moved to appoint Scott Blain to Joliet Dist. Vacancy; Commissioner Tucker seconded; motion carried.

Bobcats occasionally eat small domesticated animals, prompting attempts to eradicate them in some areas. In the southeastern United States, bobcats are becoming increasingly habituated to urban and suburban settings although they are seldom seen because of their reclusive ways. On rare occasions, bobcats have been known to attack humans. In the past bobcats were extensively hunted and trapped for their valuable pelts.
Further information about this species may be found on the Animal Diversity Web page for bobcat.

November 30, 2017 November 30, 2017 by hotmail
When you log on to Outlook or Hotmail you will find several functions and features with a modern outlay. There are calendars and task functions as well as contact organization and webmail facilities which one can enjoy in the new Hotmail inbox. With Outlook and Hotmail merged as a new web based email platform, there is more accessibility provided and attracts more users across the world.
1 Login features of Hotmail in yester years
2 Benefits of new Outlook domain
3 Hotmail login process
4 New Hotmail account features
5 Secure login features of Hotmail
Login features of Hotmail in yester years
The login steps for Hotmail account were simple in the initial days. The following steps were required to be completed to log into Hotmail accounts:
One could access Hotmail domain by typing Hotmail.com or MSN.com
One could log on through the MSN home page or Hotmail main page.
The login panel only required one to key in their username and password.
One could check the option to stay logged in. This helped them to be able to access their inbox directly and was recommended for single user systems.
The steps mentioned above helped users to log into their respective Hotmail accounts. However, often this simplified login process along with ordinary password choice and incorrect use of computers led to breaches in security of email accounts. Hence, today Microsoft introduced several features that will help to make logging into the account a more secure experience and ensure that your account does not get hacked easily.
Benefits of new Outlook domain
If you look at the features that Hotmail offers as part of Outlook there are several advantages to gain:
The metro based interface design of Outlook can be enjoyed by Hotmail users as well.
One will enjoy unlimited storage as well as new calendar and contact management features.
It is easy to integrate one's Hotmail account with the different Microsoft services. These include Office Online, OneDrive, Skype and others. These make it even more beneficial and attractive to the existing Hotmail users or new ones.
The account security aspects have been enhanced to ensure that users have a secure email experience as well as be able to log onto their account through mobile devices.
The login process of the new unified web mail platform of Hotmail provides access to a whole new inbox experience. One will find their old and existing correspondence here, which can be arranged with the new features and amenities that are provided on this platform:
There are easy sweep features to organize clutter email as well as to organize emails in different folders.
There are several new features to enjoy as well, such as OneDrive, Skype, Office Online and other services that Microsoft provides. While OneDrive and Office Online are part of the inbox experience, there are other services that one can enjoy with the login details of Hotmail.
The new login process comprises of visiting the new Outlook domain. For those who have not accessed their Hotmail account for long they can follow the steps mentioned below:
One can simply type in Hotmail.com or MSN.com as they did before and they would be redirected to the new domain.
The front page displays a common login panel for all Microsoft services. This should not deter anyone as Hotmail is part of the offerings of Microsoft. One can start by keying in their username which is the email address in full.
The next page seeks your password information.
Once these details are correctly keyed in, you would get access to your existing Hotmail inbox with a new look and feel.
New Hotmail account features
For those who wish to create a new account in Hotmail, they will find a link to create a new account. The account creation form is common for all Microsoft services. All one needs to do is choose a unique username as well as a password. There are certain guidelines that need to be followed for password creation. These pertain to choosing a password that is at least eight characters long and is a combination of alphanumeric characters as well as special characters. There are additional details that are required as well. For instance, first and last name, an alternate email address, country of residence as well as a registered phone number, these details can also help to secure one's account further and confirm identification in case one is logged out of their account.
Secure login features of Hotmail
Security is another aspect that has been revamped for Hotmail users. There is the option of two step verification process which one can activate for their account. There are certain additional details that are required as input in the security settings of the account section of Hotmail. One needs to save additional details like an alternate email address as well as a registered phone number. Both details need to be verified.
When these details are saved in the account, these can be used to retrieve lost password as well as verify one's account access if Microsoft detects a login attempt from a different device.
In case one has forgotten their account password of Hotmail, there are different ways one can retrieve the same:
There is a link provided below the login panel. By clicking on this link, one is taken to the next page where one needs to key in the alternate email address provided or choose to get a text message with their registered number. Once the verification is done, one is provided access to create a new password for their account.
There is additional information that can be saved such as choosing two security questions and saving answers to them. At the time when one needs to retrieve their password these questions came to help.
The two step verification process can be activated to make logging into your Hotmail account a more secure experience. This requires a code to be typed in, which is sent as a text message to the number you register on your account. You could also choose to sync your phone with the account and use a security code to bypass keying in the password every time. These are some of the benefits Microsoft provides to ensure that Hotmail users have a secure logging in experience.
Hotmail login also applies to mobile Outlook apps. These provide you the advantage of logging into your account on the go; all you need to do is download the app and log in using your Hotmail account credentials. This will make Hotmail a more user friendly email service to use. With Hotmail on the go, this email can be used to check business correspondence, create as well as share different Office documents and so forth. There is integration provided with social media accounts as well. Hence, one can easily see updates, posts and conversations on such platforms and take part in the same. Hotmail users who continue to use this service will be able to do much more with the new features.
Many people hold Hotmail accounts from the late nineties or the early part of the millennium when Hotmail started. Today it is part of the new Outlook email service that Microsoft has launched as a free web based service. The web mail interface, layout and other features have changed, but one can still access their old correspondence and folders they had created on this platform.
Hotmail has been in existence from the late nineties. It was launched at a time when web based email services were a novelty. Today there are several users who have used Hotmail for several decades now. As it was bought by Microsoft soon, it was made part of the MSN platform through which, existing as well as new users could access Hotmail. Soon Microsoft decided to integrate the different email services that it owned. They were brought into the Live domain. Outlook was launched a few years back, freed from the desktop based email system that it represented in Windows. Today Microsoft has integrated Hotmail and Outlook on the same modern web mail interface.
At the time when Hotmail was launched, it helped introduce the concept of free email service based on the World Wide Web. Users experienced the freedom of being able to create an account that was free on this platform. One could also access their email account from any computer in the world which was connected to the internet. It is small wonder that the beginning years of Hotmail there were as many as 8.5 million subscribers and today there are millions more.

> [加密Spring加载的Properties文件](http://lavasoft.blog.51cto.com/62575/807502/)

这个版本太老,但是思想是正确的。

# PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

> [扩展 PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer 对prop文件中的属性加密](http://exceptioneye.iteye.com/blog/1946510)

对于 `PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer` 的继承在 3.1 之后已经被废弃了。所以采用 `PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer` 的方式。

- spring-property-config.xml

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

    <bean id="encryptPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"
          class="com.ryo.spring.learn.old.property.extern.MyPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
    </bean>

</beans>
```

- MyPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.class

这里为了测试方便,直接使用构造器初始化的形式。

```java
package com.ryo.spring.learn.old.property.extern;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer;

import java.util.Properties;

public class MyPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer extends PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer  {

    public MyPropertyPlaceholderConfigurer() {
        Properties properties = System.getProperties();
        properties.setProperty("name", "ryo");
        this.setProperties(properties);
    }

}
```

- MyPropertyPlaceholderConfigurerTest.class

```java
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
        "classpath:spring-property-config.xml",
})
public class MyPropertyPlaceholderConfigurerTest {

    @Value("${name}")
    private String name;

    @Test
    public void nameTest() {
        System.out.println(name);
    }

}
```

测试输出结果:

```
ryo
```

可见,可以直接将设置的属性在 spring 中直接使用。原来此处就不赘述了。

讲下简单的用途:

1、对敏感信息进行加密

2、配置可以统一获取。根据不同的情况获取不同的配置属性。直接设置到 Properties 中。

Hey Patrick, totally agree with you on sling usage for field game shooting. I've tried it and found it's too slow, too much movement etc.
I am very interested in trying to come up with some small game loads for my 308 win and 264 win mag. If you have info on either of these two I would love to give it a try.
Zane, allow me to congratulate you on possessing a 264 Win Mag. Oh my what a dandy ray gun that is!
Use either IMR 4227, H110, or W296 powders.
Use inexpensive somewhat frangible bullets. Plain old lead with copper jacket.
it is indeed a ray gun! I inherited it from my Grandfather and while growing up, I was with him when he took at least 3 elk and a few muley's with it. I took my first elk with it and my youngest son did as well. Lots of fond memories with the old gun.
Thanks much for the recipes. I will give them a try when I get done with my work travels. Looking especially forward to the 264...will let you know.

San Diego Airport was a Pioneer in offering Free WiFi
We read earlier this summer about a number of airports moving to free WiFi access for travelers, and it made us proud to remember that our hometown San Diego Airport was one of the first to "see the light" and make available wireless internet access in all terminals -- Commuter, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 -- FREE...GRATIS...COMPED...PRO BONO (pick your adjective). This was 7 years ago!
Staying Active and Healthy in Taipei Taiwan
International travelers set for Taiwan's capital city of Taipei usually arrive via Taoyuan International Airport which is located approximately 30 KM from the Eastern District of Taipei, considered the business, arts, financial and cultural center of Taiwan. This eastern area is mostly made up of three sub- districts: Daan, Xinyi, and Songshan and represents the center of commercial life in Taipei. The area is flush with shops, restaurants, art galleries, museums and offices.
Take a cruise, stay active and don't pack on the pounds. It's possible.
Scary Fact: On average travelers gain 1 to 2 pounds per DAY on cruise vacations. It's not a huge surprise considering that the most often cited reason for taking a cruise is that everything is included. People want (and get) their money's worth
Why would a healthy person want to go on a cruise?
Always Wear Seatbelts on Flights
As if we needed additional evidence why wearing a seatbelt at ALL times on an airplane is extremely important (except when using the lavatory):
26 Passengers Injured from Unexpected Turbulence During Continental Airlines Flight
Once I was on a flight from Chicago to Tokyo and the same thing happened -- unexpected turbulence caused the plane to violently drop and then spring back up. Passengers wearing their seatbelts were fine.
Worst Airlines for Losing Your Luggage
According to yesterday's Wall Street Journal, the three major airline carriers--American, United, and Delta--hold the highest "lost luggage" rate. United's mishandled baggage rate during the past 10 years is 29% higher than the best rated airline, Continental.
Delayed flights causing missed connections are the primary reason for luggage blunders. And as the on-time performance of the nation's carriers sprials down, mishandled baggage rates spike up.
Smart OTC Pill-Packing for Overseas Travel
When there's a Walgreens or CVS on every other corner, there's no need to worry about finding familiar over-the-counter meds to help remedy an illness. But overseas travel to more remote countries can make finding a bottle of Tylenol as challenging as running a 4-minute mile.
According to Robert Edelman, MD, director of the travelers' health clinic at the University of Maryland medical center, the savvy athletic-minded traveler headed abroad will pack the following five pills as an emergency supply:

2007 Top 10 Hotel Lap Pools in North America
AthleticMindedTraveler.com is on a crusade. We seek to revolutionize the way hotels describe their gyms by identifying which properties truly provide "state of the art" fitness centers. And, on behalf of our fish-like friends, we're on a mission to help hotels understand the difference between a "lap pool" and a recreational pool. For some reason, the hotel industry incorrectly believes that a hole filled with concrete, a few hundred gallons of water and a splash of chlorine amounts to a lap pool. Not quite.

Virginia?s try for a ban was defeated last year; the law is pending in New Jersey and recently put on hold in Ohio.
