A promontory is a raised mass of land that projects into a lowland or a body of water (in which case it is a peninsula). Most promontories either are formed from a hard ridge of rock that has resisted the erosive forces that have removed the softer rock to the sides of it, or are the high ground that remains between two river valleys where they form a confluence. A headland, or head, is a type of promontory.

Promontories in history
Located at the edge of a landmass, promontories offer a natural defense against enemies, as they are often surrounded by water and difficult to access. Many ancient and modern forts and castles have been built on promontories for this reason.

One of the most famous examples of promontory forts is the Citadel of Namur in Belgium. Located at the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre rivers, the citadel has been a prime fortified location since the 10th century. The surrounding rivers act as a natural moat, making it difficult for enemies to access the fort.

Another example of a promontory fort is Fort Pitt, which was built by the English during the American Revolution on the site of the former Fort Duquesne, which belonged to the French during the French and Indian War. The fort was located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, providing an additional layer of defense. The surrounding area eventually became the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In Ireland, many promontory forts were built by the ancient Celts for defense against invaders. These forts were often located on isolated peninsulas or headlands and were difficult to access, making them ideal for defending against enemy attacks.

The ancient town of Ras Bar Balla in southern Somalia is another example of a promontory fort. Located on a small promontory, the town was part of the Ajuran Sultanate's domain during the Middle Ages and was strategically located to defend against potential invaders.

Generally, kids meals are much cheaper than adult meals. But if you're dining out with multiple kids, here's another option: have your kids split an grown-up meal.
A friend of mine orders one large adult meal for two to three of her kids to eat at a time. It ends up saving them several dollars per order and they typically have more than enough to eat as well.
Again, your savings will vary depending on the price of the meals. If your kids have big appetites or they're not willing to share a meal, it may not be the best deal. Still, it's a simple option to consider if you're looking to save some cash. For more tips for saving money at restaurants, head to Robinson's full post.

'Odette' kills 1, causes over P1B damage in Danao
31 December 2021, 8:00 am ·3 min read
ONE person was confirmed killed while 12 others were reported injured in Danao City, Cebu due to Typhoon Odette (Rai), the city government announced.
On its Facebook page Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2021, the Danao City Government also said the city incurred over P1 billion worth of damage from the storm.
In its initial 9 a.m., Dec. 22, 2021 situational report, the Danao City government had said the storm caused P102.15 million worth of damage to public infrastructure of the Danao City Government and a further P150 million worth of damage to national infrastructure of the Department of Public Works and Highways.
Odette brought a four-meter storm surge and rising tides last Dec. 16 that caused damage to eight coastal barangays, and flooding that washed out Danao's national roads, the local government unit (LGU) said.
The City evacuated 6,257 residents ahead of Odette's landfall last Dec. 16, and all evacuees were safe, the LGU said.
However, 937 houses were destroyed while 2,170 other houses sustained damage in the city's 42 barangays due to Odette's 175 kilometer per hour winds and gusts of up to 240 kilometers per hour.
To help the affected residents, the City began last Tuesday the distribution of its P20 million Odette shelter cash assistance with a payout conducted in two affected coastal barangays.
The assistance, taken from the City's disaster funds, was given to those with damaged or destroyed houses in seven purok in Barangay Looc and four purok in Barangay Taytay.
These two coastal barangays had a combined 1,580 damaged and 276 destroyed homes, the LGU said.
Mayor Ramon "Nito" Durano III and Vice Mayor Thomas Mark "Mix" Durano have ordered the distribution of the shelter assistance in the coastal barangays to be completed this year, with the assistance for affected residents in the mountain barangays to follow, the LGU said.
In its Dec. 22 situational report, the City said 136,471 individuals had been affected by the storm.
Danao City was placed under a state of calamity last Dec. 18, 2021 through Resolution No. 339, series of 2021, of the Sangguniang Panlungsod.
In line with this, the prices of basic commodities are being monitored to ensure their affordability amid the crisis.
Last Wednesday, the LGU said the City Price Coordinating Council monitoring the prices of basic commodities in the city had noted increases in the prices of fish, fruits and vegetables.
However, the sellers said they were merely passing on to consumers the higher costs of the goods they were now getting from their suppliers amid the limited supply after Typhoon Odette's damage to agriculture.
A P10 per kilo increase in the prices of pork and chicken were noted, as were a P1 per kilo increase in the price of some rice and white sugar and P2 per kilo increase in the price of brown sugar.
The LGU said the Danao City Public Market officials would set a meeting with the tenant-sellers to address the problem.
To be better prepared for future calamities, Danao City announced Monday that it had taken delivery of two of six generating sets to augment its existing generators that were operating 24 hours at its Emergency Operations Center, Covid-19 vaccine storage areas and water pumping stations following the blackout caused by Odette.
The new generators would come in handy in future calamities, it said.
The Cebu Electric Cooperative Inc. (Cebeco) 2 has already fully restored power in the 13 LGUs it serves in northern Cebu, including Danao City, as northern Cebu was not as badly hit by Typhoon Odette as central and southern Cebu.
Clearing operations in the city continue, however.
In fact, the mayor issued Executive Order 39 declaring Dec. 31 as Clean-up Drive Day for the employees of the Danao City Government.
This is to ensure that they continue the cleaning of the city and the replanting of trees after many were felled by Odette. (CTL)

[MANILA] Halting or reversing the effects of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions is best done by using the human footprint to identify key regions where action can be the most cost-effective, says a new study.
According to the study, published last month (October) in Nature, restoring a select 15 per cent of the land converted or degraded by humans could avoid 60 per cent of expected extinctions while sequestering 299 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of 30 per cent of the total carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution.
According to the World Economic Forum, over half of the land on earth has been converted by human activity.
Restoring 30 per cent of the world's degraded lands to their natural state could rescue more than 70 per cent of land-based mammals, amphibians and birds at risk of dying out, while soaking up more than 465 billion tons of carbon dioxide.
"Coordinating restoration efforts across different types of ecosystems will yield the greatest overall benefits."
Hawthorne Beyer, University of Queensland, Australia
Most of the priority areas identified are in developing countries and tropical regions, specifically South-East Asia, South Asia, Central and South America as well as West and Central Africa.
"This research is particularly useful for informing strategic decision-making at the level of international policy," Hawthorne Beyer, a research fellow at University of Queensland in Australia and a co-author of the study, tells SciDev.Net.
"However, achieving restoration in practice requires cooperation among countries to share the costs of restoration, and the development of national and regional programs that encourage land owners to participate in restoration activities and that compensate them for lost revenue — an idea known as 'payment for ecosystem services'."
To help identify priority areas, the researchers analysed 2,870 million hectares of ecosystems worldwide that have been converted to farmland between 1992 and 2015. They then assessed the land based on three main motivators — reduction of extinction risk by increasing areas of habitats, sequestration of greenhouse gases, and reduction of impact on agricultural production due to ecosystem restoration.
"Not every natural ecosystem will be optimal for climate and biodiversity, and even fewer areas are great for both benefits and not so much for agricultural production simultaneously," Alvaro Iribarrem, a researcher and professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a co-author of the study, tells SciDev.Net.
Further complicating the challenge of identifying priority areas is that "restoration must not impact food production in the context of a growing global population over the coming decades", adds Beyer.
After factoring in the various costs and benefits, the researchers found that restoring forests and wetlands delivers the highest climate and biodiversity benefits, while restoring grasslands and arid ecosystems costs the least.
In particular, 96 per cent of the Caribbean converted lands are in the top 15 per cent of global priorities for biodiversity. Restoring South American and African shrublands, meanwhile, brings important benefits for their unique biodiversity.

"Coordinating restoration efforts across different types of ecosystems will yield the greatest overall benefits," said Beyer in a handout to journalists.
Douglas Muchoney, head of FAO's geospatial unit, tells SciDev.Net, that the study is informative and "a jumping off point for more local understanding of local ecologies". But he stresses that in order to effectively tackle ecosystem restoration, especially as it relates to global challenges, including the SDGs, scientists in general need to treat ecosystems less as an abstraction and more like real places with unique landscapes — and all the complexity that entails.
"We have to anticipate insects and pathogens and people and policy," he says.

Man wanted for child abduction in Marengo captured near Lake Villa
Dvino A. Thomas, 34, of McHenry.
A McHenry man was arrested in Lake Villa on Tuesday after he allegedly kidnapped a 2-year-old child from Marengo, police said.
Dvino E. Thomas, 34, of the 4500 block of Garden Quarters in McHenry, was charged with child abduction, a Class 3 felony.
The Marengo Police Department responded around 5:40 a.m. Tuesday to a report of a domestic dispute at a residence in the 1000 block of Briden Drive, according to Marengo Police Department Sgt. Andrew Kjellgren said.
Lake County Sheriff Spokesman Sgt. Christopher Covelli said that Thomas had been visiting with a 2-year-old child, who he is possibly the father of but does not have parental rights.
Thomas was supposed to bring the toddler back to the child's mother. He arrived to the mother's home and the two began to argue, Covelli said.
Instead of returning the toddler to her mother, Thomas took the young girl and fled the scene in his vehicle. The mother called 911 to report the incident.
The Marengo Police Department issued a regional police broadcast around 6:30 a.m. to area police agencies.

Members of the Lake County Sheriff's Office Warrants Team were familiar with Thomas because they had previously arrested him, Covelli said, adding that deputies began searching areas where Thomas previously frequented in Lake County.
Deputies located Thomas' vehicle at Grass Lake Road and Sunset Drive near Antioch around 11 a.m.
"Thomas likely recognized the Warrants Deputies' vehicles because he quickly left Grass Lake Road and turned onto a residential street while increasing his speeds," Covelli said.
Warrants deputies were able to successfully surround and stop Thomas' vehicle in the area of Monaville Road and Avon Drive in unincorporated Lake Villa.
He was taken into custody and the toddler was located safe inside the vehicle. Thomas remains held in the McHenry County Jail pending an initial court hearing.
Thomas was previously charged in 2016 with aggravated kidnapping in unincorporated Spring Grove. He was released from prison in January and is currently on mandatory supervised released.

AT&T Grant Brightens Future for Academic Bridge, Young Students
The University of Texas at Dallas received a $75,000 grant from the AT&T Foundation to support the Academic Bridge and Future Comets programs, which help prepare young students for college life and STEM careers through advising, mentoring and tutoring.
Titus Brown (left), a sophomore at Judge Barefoot Sanders Law Magnet at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center in Dallas, joined the Future Comets Program before starting the eighth grade. His mother, Natalie Brown (right), said the program has given him more confidence in STEM courses.
Dr. Richard C. Benson, president of UT Dallas, acknowledged AT&T's impact on both programs during a check presentation ceremony at UT Dallas' Engineering and Computer Science West building.
"The students who benefit from these programs are among the best and brightest in the world," said Benson, who is also the Eugene McDermott Distinguished University Chair of Leadership. "They are our future leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators. Thanks to programs like these and the generous support of partners like AT&T, many more students will have the chance to realize their dreams."
The AT&T Foundation initially contributed $220,000 to the Academic Bridge Program in 2010. The foundation's investment has made a direct impact on students, said Dr. George Fair, vice president for diversity and community engagement and dean of the School of Interdisciplinary Studies.
"You are helping build pathways and futures, and creating a pipeline of talented, high-achieving students ready to pursue higher education and ultimately become our state's and nation's future workforce," Fair told the audience at the ceremony.
As a first-generation graduate student, Ty Bledsoe, assistant vice president for external affairs at AT&T Inc., said he understands the value of an education and a good opportunity.
Dameon Powell Jr. (left), a freshman at McKinney North High School, said the Future Comets Program has helped him understand college life and prepare for high school math. His father, Dameon Sr. (right), said AT&T's donation is proof that the company is investing in his son's future.
"Seeing some of the young, rising superstars that are here, it gives me hope that the future is not lost," Bledsoe told students at the event. "These programs bring out the greatness in all of you. Opportunities for higher education, for great paying jobs, for benefits that will impact your grandchildren and great-grandchildren — they wouldn't exist without programs like these."
State Rep. Angie Chen Button MS'80 commended AT&T for its commitment to UT Dallas and spoke about the overall mission behind both programs.
"There's a lot of talk lately about the 50-year anniversary of mankind getting to the moon, and this is just like that idea — it's a grand vision," Button said. "It's a grand vision for kids from diverse backgrounds who will continue to excel and go to college."
Launched in 2017, the Future Comets program provides college readiness services for students primarily from the Dallas and Richardson school districts. The program offers year-round supplemental instruction and leadership development to students preparing for college and STEM degrees.
"The students who benefit from these programs are among the best and brightest in the world. They are our future leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators. Thanks to programs like these and the generous support of partners like AT&T, many more students will have the chance to realize their dreams."
Dr. Richard C. Benson, president of UT Dallas
"I feel like I've learned a lot, and it's prepared me for what's to come," said Dameon Powell Jr., a McKinney North High School freshman who has been involved with Future Comets for two years. "I'm getting to know and understand college life."
The Academic Bridge Program helps high-potential students succeed in college with programming that begins in the summer after high school graduation. Through peer mentorship, financial support and rigorous academic coaching, Academic Bridge students are able to transition from high school to college.
"Without the Academic Bridge Program, I don't think I would have been as prepared for the first semester of college," said Autumn Jennings, an arts, technology, and emerging communication senior at UT Dallas who has been in the program for three years. "It made my experience at UT Dallas more enjoyable in general."
Since its creation in 2000, the Academic Bridge Program has a proven track record of success, with a 70 percent graduation rate and more than 45 percent of students majoring in engineering, science or business management.
"Since most of our students are first-generation college students, it's making a significant difference in their lives and their family's lives," said Soli Ghirmai, director of the Academic Bridge Program. "AT&T is investing in the future, and we hope to continue this partnership to change students' lives."

The model IMS800LM is a long-travel linear motor stage that employs a center driven linear motor providing an ultra-quiet operation. It has the advantage of higher speed, acceleration and system responsiveness without wear on motor brushes or drive screws.
It provides a long travel range of 800 mm, with a maximum speed of 1000 mm/s and a Minimum Incremental Motion of 20 nm. It has a typical accuracy of ±4.0 µm and guaranteed accuracy of ±9.0µm. The integrated linear motor makes is 100 mm shorter compared to screw driven stage making it an optimum solution for space constrained applications that require high-throughput, high reliability, and ultra-quiet operation. It is designed with a base material of optimized extruded aluminum body that prevents thermal bending effects caused by the different thermal expansion coefficients of the aluminum body and steel rails. This model uses a high efficiency 3-phase synchronous iron core linear motor making its efficiency almost twice the efficiency of ironless linear motor resulting to a higher acceleration capability and less heat generation.
The IMS800LM long travel linear stage provides excellent payload capacity and long life because of caged balls separators in its recirculating elements that ensure superior smooth movement, lower noise and longer service life. It provides normal center load capacity on bearings of up to 600 N. SA version supports 100 N centered load capacity and includes 4 mounting pads for non-flat mounting surfaces to maintain its pitch and yaw performance.

The Roll of Justice at SJD
An Editorial - Issue #9 - Let Justice Roll!
During past weeks of social distancing and lock down, we have had plenty of time, whilst keeping minds and bodies occupied in various creative ways, to reflect on the situation we find ourselves in with the COVID-19 pandemic. This, the ninth issue of "Let Justice Roll", again reflecting the creative erudition and editing of Murray Luft, seeks to address three general questions:
How are we dealing with the present serious situation?
How do we see the future and wish it to unfold?
Issue #9 of LJR is designed to help us focus on those questions from theological, spiritual, ethical and socio-economic perspectives by highlighting the opinions, analyses and reflections of people of faith and hope, be they scholars, pastors, community advocates and activists, environmentalists, social commentators or poets. Collectively, the opinions and critiques that follow are designed to put the events and dangers swirling round us in their spiritual, scientific, ecological, social, as well as their personal contexts.
Understanding How We Got Here
Several reflections in these pages relate to our unfortunate capacity to close our minds to the realities of God's creation and what it demands of us in terms of care and nurture and respect for nature, and that we need to take responsibility for our actions and neglect as opposed to ascribing the problems and prescriptions for their solution to God. They point to the hubris of denying that pollution and its adverse effects are costs of production, and affirm that we all have an investment in protecting out biospheres, watersheds, and natural amenities. Others point to the often unthinking investment in an economic system, especially in this neo-liberal era, that consigns our individual and collective fate to the "invisible hand" and the operation of the market. They also point to: the excesses of wealth accumulation; concentrations of corporate power and influence; the manipulation of financial markets; the growing disparity in income distribution; the non-existent or shrinking social safety nets in many countries; the ravages of poverty; the neglect of public health, preventative health care, mental health and addiction services; and the corrosive effects across the globe of rampant consumerism on both producers and consumers of goods and services. In our reflection, we hear the voices of those who have been and continue to be the prophetic voices of our era, committed to working change in our minds, souls and actions to take on systems that contribute to environmental abuse, social and economic inequality, injustice, and widespread indifference towards the world around us.
Assessing How We Are Dealing With The Present Situation
Several of the pieces in this number provide valuable testimony to the compassion and cormnitment of a range of people who are giving their all to stem the tide of this dangerous pandemic, seeking ways of preventing a recurrence, and enabling the rest of us to reorder our lives during the pandemic. The pieces reflect a strong commitment to religious and spiritual values and how they inform and inspire those front line people in the invaluable work they do. In reading these pieces, which are largely from a Christian perspective, it is important to recognize that among those on the front lines, there are those who are inspired by other faith traditions, and others motivated by strong humanitarian impulses. Behind the stories of heroism lies the uncomfortable fact, that as countries and societies, we have in so many instances ignored or dropped the ball on the value of robust public health systems and preventative medicine — another example of how "other priorities" have gotten in the way of endeavouring to ensure that contagion does not take root and spread.
The sad reality is there for all of us to see and ponder — the lack of cohesive strategies, the thoroughly inadequate provisioning of material resources to deal with the adverse effects of the pandemic, and not least, the high price in mortality and isolation of the ageing population (particularly those in care homes), as well as other vulnerable populations (like those lacking homes), are paying for public neglect by politicians and their electorates. On the positive side, we are witnessing the recognition that it is our public health officials, and the science supporting them, who have been able to come to the fore and provide us with honest assessments of the nature of the pandemic, the means of containing it, and the uncertainties in tracking and controlling it in the future. In the main in Canada (and in B.C.), they are being listened to by politicians of various stripes as to the dramatic measures that need to be followed to prevent the pandemic's spread and recurrence.
Imagining the Future And How It Might Unfold at St. John's
In comment and discussion (in both the media and within and between social justice and action communities), there is enhanced examination of ways and means of contributing to the rehabilitation of nature, an expanded and meaningful social welfare net, realistic and sensitive approaches to economic recovery, as well as future economic policy, food security and greater community selfsufficiency. Some of these possibilities are canvassed in Issue #9 of LJR. In the abstract, this is a daunting prospect. Despite the reference by some politicians to "a return to normality" writers appearing here make it clear that what is ahead will not, and cannot, be a return to a pre-COVID-19 world. They remind us that there are powerful economic forces that will be lobbying for a "business as usual" approach — i.e., to an economy which embodies the values of profit maximization, corporate neglect of ecological and social values, extreme inequality, minimal regulation, low corporate tax structures, and gig employment, phenomena with which we are all too familiar.
In these pages you may discover what theologian Walter Brueggeman calls the prophetic imagination — i.e., the ways in which national, regional and local communities can react to, and combat, those pressures and assist in envisaging a much more just and caring world. As a faith community, we should inform ourselves, make our voices heard in the debates on these matters, and support efforts to prevent us as a society from sinking back into the dysfunctional ways ofthe past. At the same time, we have to realize that our resources are limited. Creating impressive wish lists and shouting messages of hope from St. John's spire and bell tower are not sufficient for effective social, political change to materialize.
Here's what we in SJAG think is both urgent and possible for St. John's to pursue:
(a) Re-evaluating the ways in which we as a community practice our faith, organize our affairs and interact with each other. Are we sufficiently cognisant of the needs (spiritual, physical and mental, and social) of those in this community of St. John the Divine, and making sure they are met with understanding and compassion? Are our policies and actions in running and sustaining our property in tune with reducing our carbon foot print? Are we doing enough to reach out to the vulnerable in our neighbourhood?
(b) Considering what other ways there might be for us as a community to practice what we preach in praise of God's creation and the natural world. Are there, for instance, local projects or environmental stewardship and ecological projects to which we as a community or individuals could contribute, or do so more actively?
(c) Making active, common cause with a range of social justice and action organizations in the community of greater Victoria in order to research, identify, and develop prescriptions to address sensitively and effectively the social problems that afflict our region, and to do this co-operatively with others committed to solutions for these ills. The objective here is to use the combined power of a range of civil society organizations within our community (faith-based or not), representing a significant slice of the local population, to make the voice of social justice and action in this community heard by politicians and other decision makers in ways that make them understand that we are allied, informed, active and serious.
It is this last point that we have purposely emphasized in LJR #9. Greater Victoria Acting Together (GVAT) embodies the vision laid out in the previous paragraph. It is an inspired initiative that from early days has been supported from within, and by, St. John the Divine. The organization is getting ready to take on the task of presenting its projects (specifically on homelessness, mental health and addictions, and the climate crisis) to its broad-based, civil society membership, and to Victoria's political representatives. Meanwhile, it has been active in mobilizing support for vulnerable populations during the COVID-19 pandemic, pressuring both municipal and provincial govemments to extend support to those populations, and commit to longer term solutions to the problems identified. We have thought it important to give some account of this work to which St. John's, as a faith community, is committed, as a basis of information and discussion of how we may play our part in pressing these issues and solutions to them. In the process, we move from reflection and critique to suggestions for action. Finally, I trust that this issue of LJR #9 will edify, engage and motivate you to Let Justice Roll in Victoria and in the larger post-COVID-19 world.

Q: Difference between 'catch(e)' and 'on Exception catch(e)' in dart? What is the difference between catch(e) and on Exception catch(e) in dart?

AVOID catches without on clauses.
Using catch clauses without on clauses makes your code prone to encountering unexpected errors that won't be thrown (and thus will go unnoticed).

BAD:
try {
 somethingRisky()
} catch(e) {
  doSomething(e);
}

GOOD:
try {
 somethingRisky()
} on Exception catch(e) {
  doSomething(e);
}

Link: avoid_catches_without_on_clauses

A: The } on Exception catch (e) { will catch all thrown objects implementing Exception.
The excludes most errors (which implement Error),
The } catch (e) { will catch all thrown objects, both exceptions and errors - and anything else that might get thrown. Most thrown objects implement either Exception or Error, but that's just a convention. Any non-null object can be thrown.
I'd actually recommend against on Exception as well. Exceptions are not errors, they are intended for functions as an alternative to returning a value, but exceptions are still just as much part of the function API, and you should only be catching the exceptions that you are actually planning to handle. Since Exception itself has no information, you should be catching the subtype that the function is documented as throwing so you can use the available information to handle the exceptional case.
If you are not going to handle it, you might as well treat the exception as an error.
Using only } catch (e) { to catch everything is reasonable in some situations, mainly in framework code which wraps other user code, and needs to make sure a user code error or unhandled exception doesn't take down the entire program.

The good news is that nutrient deficiencies can be prevented, as research indicates that patients who comply lifelong with standard recommendations may decrease their risk of developing a nutrition- related deficiency. Compliance helps improve nutrition outcomes and reduce the risk for conditions that result from long-term nutrient deficiencies.
Blood health: Anemias may be induced by nutrient inadequacies beyond just iron.6 Anemia is characterized by red blood cell or hemoglobin deficiency in blood.
Bone health: Bone disorders and fractures may develop over time as a result of inadequate nutrient intake or malabsorption. Calcium is stored in bones, and when the body demands this mineral, it is pulled from bone if it is not provided by the diet or supplementation, making bones brittle and weaker.
Neurological health: Neurological disorders may be induced by nutrient deficiencies particularly in persons who have undergone MBS;8 these conditions impact the nerves and ultimately, organ function.
Staying ahead of micronutrient deficiencies involves a lifelong commitment! Daily supplementation, follow-up care, and micronutrient screening go a long way toward avoiding preventable devastating complications. Fortunately, supplementation is easy with specialty product formulations, which come in a variety of flavors and potencies to meet your vitamin and mineral requirements—in as little as two chewable tablets per day!
