A molluscivore is a carnivorous animal that specialises in feeding on  molluscs such as gastropods, bivalves, brachiopods and cephalopods. Known molluscivores include numerous predatory (and often cannibalistic) molluscs, (e.g.octopuses, murexes, decollate snails and oyster drills), arthropods such as crabs and firefly larvae, and, vertebrates such as fish, birds and mammals.  Molluscivory is performed in a variety ways with some animals highly adapted to this method of feeding behaviour.  A similar behaviour, durophagy, describes the feeding of animals that consume hard-shelled or exoskeleton bearing organisms, such as corals, shelled molluscs, or crabs.

Description
Molluscivory can be  performed in several ways:

In some cases, the mollusc prey are simply swallowed entire, including the shell, whereupon the prey is killed through suffocation and or exposure to digestive enzymes. Only cannibalistic sea slugs, snail-eating cone shells of the taxon Coninae, and some sea anemones use this method.

One method, used especially by vertebrate molluscivores, is to break the shell, either by exerting force on the shell until it breaks, often by biting the shell, like with oyster crackers, mosasaurs, and placodonts, or hammering at the shell, e.g. oystercatchers and crabs, or by simply dashing the mollusc on a rock (e.g. song thrushes, gulls, and  sea otters).

Another method is to remove the shell from the prey. Molluscs are attached to their shell by strong muscular ligaments, making the shell's removal difficult. Molluscivorous birds, such as oystercatchers and the Everglades snail kite, insert their elongate beak into the shell to sever these attachment ligaments, facilitating removal of the prey. The carnivorous terrestrial pulmonate snail known as the "decollate snail" ("decollate" being a synonym for "decapitate") uses a similar method: it reaches into the opening of the prey's shell and bites through the muscles in the prey's neck, whereupon it immediately begins devouring the fleshy parts of its victim. The walrus sucks meat out of bivalve molluscs by sealing its powerful lips to the organism and withdrawing its piston-like tongue rapidly into its mouth, creating a vacuum.

Another method, used by octopuses, nautilii and most molluscivoruous sea snails, is to use their radula to drill a hole through the shell, then inject venom and digestive enzymes through the hole, after which the digested prey can be sucked out through the hole.

 The larvae of glowworms and fireflies are simply small enough to enter the shells of terrestrial snails and begin eating immediately.

In marine mammals

Whales:  Sperm whales, pilot whales, Cuvier's beaked whale, Risso's dolphin and species in the genera Mesoplodon,  and Hyperoodon and the superfamily Physeteroidea are classified as molluscivores, eating mainly squid.

Pinnipeds:  Elephant seals, Ross seals and South American fur seals are classed as molluscivores.  The walrus eats benthic bivalve molluscs, especially clams, for which it forages by grazing along the sea bottom, searching and identifying prey with its sensitive vibrissae. The walrus sucks the meat out by sealing its powerful lips to the organism and withdrawing its piston-like tongue rapidly into its mouth, creating a vacuum. The walrus palate is uniquely vaulted, enabling effective suction.

In fish
Several species of pufferfish and loaches are molluscivores. As many molluscs are protected by a shell, the feeding techniques applied amongst molluscivore fish are highly specialized and usually divided into two groups: "crushers" and "slurpers."  Pufferfish tend to be crushers and will use their beak-like teeth to break the shell in order to gain access to the meat inside. Loaches are specialized slurpers, and will make use of their characteristically shaped snout in order to grab hold of, then suck out the animal living inside the shell.

The black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) commonly feeds by crushing large molluscs with pharyngeal teeth, extracting soft tissue, and spitting out shell fragments.  Four-year-old juveniles are capable of consuming approximately 1–2 kg of molluscs per day. This bottom-dwelling molluscivore was purposely imported into the United States in the early 1970s for use as a food fish and also as a biological control agent for snails—an intermediate host for a trematode parasite in fish reared on fish farms.  Two snail-eating cichlids, Trematocranus placodon and Maravichromis anaphyrmis, have been tried as biological control agents of schistosomes in fish ponds in Africa. Redear sunfish (Lepomis micropholus) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) have been used to control quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) in the lower Colorado River in the US.

The common name of some fish reflects their molluscivorous feeding, for example, the "snail-crusher hap" (Trematocranus placodon), ""red rock sheller" (Haplochromis sp.), "Rusinga oral sheller" (Haplochromis sp.) and "rainbow sheller" (Haplochromis sp.).  The redear sunfish is also known as the "shellcracker".

In reptiles
Gray's monitor (or "butaan") is well known for its diet, which consists primarily of ripe fruit; however, several prey items are also consumed, including snails.
  Monitors are generally carnivorous animals, which makes the Gray's monitor somewhat of an exception amongst the varanid family.

The prehistoric placodont reptiles is an extinct taxon of marine animals that superficially resembled lizards and turtles, most of whose dentition of peg-like incisors and enormous, molar-like teeth allowed them to prey on molluscs and brachiopods by plucking their prey off of the substrate, and crushing the shells.

In birds
Among birds, the eponymous shorebirds known as oystercatchers are renowned for feeding upon bivalves. At least one bird of prey is also primarily a molluscivore—the snail kite, Rostrhamus sociabilis. The limpkin is a small rail-like bird that feeds almost entirely on apple snails. Other birds that will eat molluscs occasionally include mergansers, ducks, coots, dippers and spoonbills.

In invertebrates

Cone snails:  Some cone snails hunt and eat other kinds of snails, such as cowries, olive shells, turbo snails, and conch snails, while others will eat other cone snails.  Conus marmoreus and Conus omaria are able to kill and swallow prey that are larger than themselves; some Conus species can swallow prey that weigh up to half of their own weight. Snail's bodies are attached to their shell by a columellar muscle that holds onto the columella, the axis of the snail. This muscle also allows the snail to retract back into its shell. If this muscle is broken, the snail will lose its shell and die.  It is hard to detach this muscle in a live snail, or even in a dead snail. It is thought that the conotoxins in the venom of cone snails are able to completely relax this muscle so that the body can be pulled out from its shell. The cone snail uses its foot to hold the shell of its prey. Using a strong, steady pulling motion, the body of the snail can be forced out and then swallowed whole. Complete digestion of a snail can take many hours, even days.

Starfish:  Primitive starfish, such as Astropecten and Luidia, swallow their prey whole and start to digest it in their cardiac stomachs.  Shell valves and other inedible materials are ejected through their mouths. The semi-digested fluid is passed into their pyloric stomachs and caeca where digestion continues and absorption occurs.  The margined sea star (Astropecten articulatus) is a well known molluscivore. It catches prey with its arms which it then takes to the mouth. The prey is then trapped by the long, moving prickles around the mouth cavity and swallowed food.

In more advanced species of starfish, the cardiac stomach can be everted from the organism's body to engulf and digest food. When the prey is a clam, the starfish pulls with its tube feet to separate the two valves slightly, and inserts a small section of its stomach, which releases enzymes to digest the prey. The stomach and the partially digested prey are later retracted into the disc. Here the food is passed on to the pyloric stomach, which always remains inside the disc. Because of this ability to digest food outside the body, starfish can hunt prey much larger than their mouths.

Crabs:  The freshwater crabs Syntripsa matannensis and Syntripsa flavichela are classed as molluscivores.  Using their massive and powerful claws, adult Florida stone crabs (Menippe mercenaria) feed on acorn barnacles, hard-shelled clams, scallops, and conch.

A lot of people think it's ridiculous to fear an insect as "benign" as the camel cricket. Never mind the fact that the creature is a kitten-sized horror flinging itself at you from any angle, ricocheting crazily from floor to wall to shelves to your very limbs. "No," these experts counsel, "that is not venomous slaver cascading from needlelike fangs. H. subterraneous are harmless; maybe they'll nibble on clothing but that's it."
It's true I have no expertise. What I do have is proximity. Camel crickets may fly south for the winter, but they spend the other three seasons skulking about my basement. Having had the opportunity to observe them over the years, I can confidently report that I am terrified of camel crickets.
Here is the specimen that felt my laundering activities required orthopteran supervision this afternoon. I put it under a link for those of you who are insect-photo-averse. I know you're out there.
First of all, that is a fairly ugly bug. I would not like to be the kind of person who hates a bug based on appearances, so I'm kind of relieved that the photo, when seen more closely, reveals that she is indeed using her laserbeam eyeballs to tear through the fabric of the cosmos. My best guess is that she heard the weather report for tomorrow and is headed back to the pits of hell. Maybe they don't fly south after all. Like I said, I'm no expert.
My workplace is in the basement of the Greenbelt Co-op. Guess what visits me during the week? I *hate* these things.
I'd only ever seen regular crickets until we moved to mom & dads current house.
One notable thing when we got here was I observed more daddy-long-legs spiders than I'd ever seen before.
And then I saw the camel crickets for the first time. My first thought was some bizarre, supposedly impossible, hybrid of cricket and daddy-long-legs.


With this project we have managed to hit the best balance between speed and comfort that we've ever achieved. And it looks pretty nice too!!!
This stylish little ride is pedalling it's way to Lusaka, to hang in one of the newest and trendiest coffee-shops.

Land Use + Habitat Protection
The way land is used, whether in residential areas, industrial areas, or agricultural and rural areas, impacts the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay. Development is one of the greatest contributors to pollution in the Bay. Stormwater runoff from developed areas is responsible for nitrogen, phosphorous, and sediment pollution. It is critical for the health of the Bay to manage new growth according to sound land use planning principles and protective construction practices. Changing the built environment in a sustainable way involves protecting green spaces. Green spaces create natural buffers that help reduce pollution carried to local waterways and also preserve areas for recreation and animal habitat. Land use issues in the Bay watershed generally involve planning and zoning laws, land conservation, and habitat protection.
Planning and Zoning Laws
Land use planning and zoning law is managed by local municipalities and counties to manage local development of the built environment. Local municipalities typically adopt a comprehensive plan to identify the goals for immediate and long-range growth in the community. Regional development is shaped by how the development plans from each municipality intersect and interact with each other. State and federal laws can preempt local decision-making in the interest of protecting sensitive natural resources, such as the waterways of the Bay. Understanding this legal framework is important because planning and zoning decisions ultimately impact the health of the Bay and the quality of life of residents. There are opportunities for citizens and stakeholders to influence comprehensive plans and land use regulations. Citizens can voice their concerns about development proposals at public hearings before the local planning and zoning boards. Furthermore, citizens can lobby the local or state legislature, which adopts the zoning law and other land use regulations.
Conservation easements can be used to preserve open spaces and rural landscapes for future generations and the health of the Bay. A conservation easement is a legal agreement in which a landowner voluntarily sells or donates the right to develop the property or limits certain uses of the property, usually in exchange for tax benefits. The landowner retains all other private property rights. This legally binding agreement is permanent and passes from one landowner to the next. Conservation easements permanently protect our thriving natural spaces and agricultural lands from further development, thus promoting healthy waterways and natural plant and wildlife habitat.
The Chesapeake Bay's rivers and streams provide drinking water and recreational use and serve as the engine for local economies. They also provide food, protection, and nesting areas for more than 3,600 species of plants and animals vital to the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay. Some of the species in the Bay watershed are listed as threatened or endangered, and there are laws that protect these species. Protecting habitat and providing for ecosystem diversity not only benefits the plants and animals that live in the Bay watershed but can also help reduce water pollutants flowing into the Bay. For example, buffer zones around agricultural fields or rain gardens around urban parking lots provide both habitat and reduce sediment and chemicals from flowing directly into the Bay.
Stream Restoration and Shoreline Protection
Protecting stream and river shorelines and restoring damaged waterways plays a critical role in improving water quality. Stream restoration helps to reduce the amount of sediment flowing into the Bay and reduces trash and hazards that may be resent near and in waterways. Shoreline protection is becoming more pressing due to sea level rise and shoreline inundation. Notably, man-made structures, such as bulkheads and hard stream surfaces can accelerate erosion and destroy natural animal and aquatic habitat. Reducing hard surfaces along shorelines through practices like living shorelines can rebuild natural habitat, prevent shoreline erosion, and capture pollutants.

Shares in Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (CVE:GRG) (OTCQB:GARWF) have enjoyed a bounce since it announced the start of commercial production at its silver, zinc and lead mine in Argentina around a month ago.
Since then, shares in the Vancouver based firm have added around 40% to where they stand now at $0.335.
It's been a long time in the making but the start of the Chinchillas operation, in Jujuy Province, Argentina ,which was developed with SSR Mining, marks a major milestone for the exploration group.
Golden Arrow discovered the project seven years ago and delineated it between 2012 and 2015 . It is now owned by Puna Operations Inc, which is a joint venture between operator SSR and the firm. Golden Arrow holds 25%, while SSR has the remainder.
The combination of the firm's Chinchillas project with the then Silver Standard Resources Inc's Pirquitas mine just down the road officially got the go-ahead in March, 2017.
A pre-feasibility study was completed and announced in March, 2017 and construction began after the final permit was received at the end of the same year.
As was reported by golden Arrow last year, the operation creates the eighth largest silver mine in the world with an eight-year mine life and output of 8.4 million silver equiValent ounces per year.
In December, Golden Arrow said that ore was being processed at Pirquitas at a rate of 3,000 tonnes per day (tpd), rising to 4,000 tonnes throughout December, with the aim getting to 5,000 tpd.
It will produce around 8 million ounces of silver per year, with 20% of the value coming from the lead and the zinc feed.
Completion of certain infrastructure projects at Chinchillas and Pirquitas is scheduled for the first quarter this year.
More exploration irons in the fire..
Late in 2018, the company, an explorer at its heart, revealed it was expanding the footprint into Chile. It said it would acquire up to 100% of the Indiana gold-copper project - a near term production target and where there is potential to expand the deposit.
That came in the same month, Golden Arrow told investors, it had inked an agreement to acquire the 3,450 hectare Atlantida project, which lies 35 km away.
Indiania is a near surface deposit of high-grade gold and copper and a historic resource, permitted for mining, and there are currently two ramps allowing underground access.
A previous inferred mineral resource showed more than 600,000 ounces of gold equiValent (AuEq) consisting of around 3.093 million tonnes averaging 2.8 g/t (grams per ton) gold and 1.6% copper, at a 4 g/t AuEq cut-off.
Flotation tests have also indicated recoveries of 90% for gold and 92% for copper for sulphide mineralization.
Meanwhile, the 3,450 hectare Atlantida copper-gold project is advanced project which combines mineral rights from two separate owners and includes an extensively drilled copper-gold deposit with an historic resource estimate.
It consists of two separate land packages that Golden Arrow has consolidated into a single project, through signing two agreement.
Previous exploration has occurred at Atlantida, with one particular resource estimate of 427 million tonnes averaging 0.43% copper equiValent.
The resource includes a deep porphyry copper-gold target and a near-surface skarn with higher gold grades which together cover an area of approximately 225 hectares.
Significantly, the firm believes there is potential for further discoveries of similar targets elsewhere on the consolidated Atlantida properties.
In other exploration activity, in September last year, the company hailed a new target identified at its Antofalla silver-gold-base metal project in Argentina from a first diamond drill program.
The work saw 11 holes sunk in the Dome zone and identified a new target at the Cizalla Norte zone consisting of silver and base metal mineralisation.
"We are encouraged by the program results, particularly from this new shear zone which appears to have some similarities to mineralization at Chinchillas," Brian McEwen had said. He is Golden Arrow's vice president of exploration and development.
Golden Arrow is a member of the Grosso Group, a management company specialized in resource exploration, headed up by Joseph Grosso, who has focused on exploration in Argentina since 1993, when mining was opened up to foreign investment.
He was named Argentina's 'Mining Man of The Year' in 2005. He has negotiated with mining industry majors such as Barrick, Teck, Newmont , Viceroy (now Yamana Gold) and Vale S.A., and government officials at all levels.
Geologist McEwen has over three decades' experience and has managed projects in Canada, US, Europe, Asia, Africa and throughout Latin America.


Buddhism spread to Bulgaria in the early 1990s, following the collapse of communism and a visit by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1991. Since then, communities of several Tibetan Buddhist traditions have been established in Bulgaria, some of which have survived until today. One of those communities is the Bon-Dzogchen Sangha Bulgaria, which follows the Bon Buddhist tradition—recognized by the Dalai Lama as the fifth school of Tibetan Buddhism. We can distinguish three strands of the Bon tradition: old Bon (closely related to shamanism), Yungdrung (eternal Bon), and New Bon (reformed Bon).
The Bon-Dzogchen Sangha in Bulgaria is guided by the famous Bon master Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. His disciple, Geshe Khorden Lhundup Gyaltsen, visited Sofia in 2015, 2016, and 2017 to give teachings on Tibetan yoga, Dzogchen, and Phowa (related to the transfer of consciousness during death). In April, during his third visit, I had an opportunity to interview Geshe Lhundup and discuss with him different aspects of the development of Buddhism in the West.
Geshe Lhundup was born in 1976, in the village of Damranji, in the traditional Kham region of eastern Tibet. When he was about 12 years old he decided to become a monk and went to Patsang Monastery of the Yungdrung Bon tradition. In 1993, he escaped Tibet for Nepal, where he met Yongdzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche in Kathmandu, who was at that time the most senior teacher in the Bon tradition. Rinpoche encouraged him to go to Menri Monastery in India to study for a Geshe degree (an academic degree for monastics equivalent to a doctorate in Buddhist philosophy in the Gelug, Sakya, and Bon schools).
Geshe Lhundup lectures at Sofia University "St.
Menri Monastery was first established in Tibet in 1405 by Nyammey Sherab Gyeltsen (1356–1416) and quickly became the main monastery of the Bon tradition. Menri, means "Medicine Mountain," and is derived from the belief that the surrounding mountains are home to hundreds of species of medicinal plants and springs. The Indian branch of the monastery is located in Dolanji, in the Solan District of Himachal Prades, and has more than 350 residents. It is comprised of various Tibetan-style buildings, including temples, a library, a Bon dialectic school, dormitories, a health center, and a nunnery. The head lama of Menri Monastery is His Holiness Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, the 33rd Menri Trizin, who is recognized worldwide as the spiritual leader of the Bon tradition.
Geshe Lhundup studied at Menri Monastery from 1993–2009, completing courses on sutra, tantra, and Dzogchen, as well as Tibetan grammar, poetry, astrology, medicine, mandala painting, yoga, and meditation. After 15 years of intensive study, he received his Geshe degree then traveled to Dharamsala to study English. In 2010, he moved to France at the request of Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche to support his students there. Until 2017, Geshe Lhundup was the resident lama of Ligmincha France, a branch of Ligmincha International—a worldwide network of Bon centers founded by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. The aim of Ligmincha International is to preserve the ancient teachings, transmissions, and practices of the Bon Buddhist tradition, and to introduce them to the Western world in an authentic manner. They aim to do this in such a way that these teachings, transmissions, and practices remain beneficial when integrated into modern Western culture.
Geshe Lhundup has witnessed many positive changes among his Western students after they have connected with the Dharma. The practice that helped him to change his inner self most profoundly is Dzogchen meditation. Regarding meditation, he advises that quality is more important than quantity and length of the practice.


On July 27 DAMEN SeaXplorer marked a milestone in the construction of the SeaXplorer 77 expedition yacht at a keel laying ceremony at Damen Shipyards Galati on the banks of the Danube. The owner attended the ceremony and welded the traditional coin on the keel. Following the hull building phase, the 77-meter luxury expedition yacht (253 ft) will arrive at Damen's Vlissingen East yard in the Netherlands for completion and on-schedule delivery in Q4 2020.
The SeaXplorer 77 is a customized design from the DAMEN SeaXplorer range. The yacht accommodates 12 guests in six suites with full custom interiors, featuring luxury quality and finishing created by the owner's choice of interior designer. The 25 crew, pilots and expedition staff operate the submersible, tenders, toys and two aircraft with a fully certified helideck and helicopter hangar.
Hull building at Damen Shipyards Galati. The yard's almost 4,000 employees work on many of Damen's most important projects to date including the 160-meter IMO Polar Code category-compliant Australian Antarctic Division research ship NUYINA.
Final construction and outfitting at Damen's Vlissingen East yard, located a few kilometers from the Vlissingen City yard where AMELS operates. A commercial and naval shipyard at heart, Vlissingen East is an integral part of our yacht building and refit offering. Indeed, a number of superyacht refit projects for yachts measuring over 90 meters have already been completed here.

Rhodes formerly Gilberts
Posted on Wednesday 23rd October 2013
[The essay that follows was written in 1956 by F.A. Howe, a churchwarden and an important figure in parish life in the 1950s. He lived in the cottage that is the subject of this article and went on, in 1958, to publish the definitive book on the early history of Edburton and Fulking. This is the first of two posts about the history of the building now known as Michaelmas Cottage.]
Like many another occupant of an old cottage, we often wished we could people ours in thought with its inhabitants of olden days, but it seemed that our 'Thatch End' would not yield up its secrets. Yet some of its story was there for the seeking, and readers may like to know what I have found and how I found it.
The village historian will have collected a mass of records from many sources. Some of these may convey little information, but now and then a new source is tapped, and quite a lot of the items suddenly fall into a connected story. I have had just such an experience concerning Edburton. Recently the Sussex Archaeological Society published a complete list of the deeds in its possession. Several of these referred to Edburton and some of them I had not seen. They proved to include nine deeds relating to the transfer of a copyhold property[1] referred to first in 1734 as a "messuage, garden and lands, late Gilberts in Aberton" and in later deeds as "late Rhoades" (or Rhodes). The place was evidently described, as places still often are, by the names of the owners, as we should say "Gilberts" house or "Rhode's cottage".
The earliest of the set of deeds to which I have referred is a court roll for Gilberts, dated 1734, when the copyholder, Thomas Street, died and left the property to his widow, Anne, and on her death to their son Thomas. The roll satisfied this and "admits" the new owners to possession.
A copyhold deed from 1699 [University of Nottingham]
After Thomas Street, a roll or more is missing, and the next surviving roll shows the occupant as George Barber, who died in 1780[2] and left the property to his married daughter Hannah Marshall. We can now begin to people 'Gilberts or Rhodes' with real people, for the parish registers came to our aid, telling us that "George Barber was buried Sep ye 8th (1780) aged 93 and had been 57 years clerk to this parish". As for Hannah, she had been the central figure in a pretty village scandal. When she was nineteen years old she had become the mother of Isaac, whose father was named Friend, and for this she had done public penance in the church. Not only was she the daughter of the parish clerk, but the Friend family was prominent in the parish; one of them had been churchwarden and perhaps was so still; however, Hannah became a sober housewife by marriage with William Marshall, to whom she bore five children.
The next rolls show Hannah's eldest son, William, inheriting the property on her death in 1790, and he in turn leaving at his death in 1819 to his sister Ann, who had married Thomas Lee of Bletchingly in Surrey. She at once sold it to George Marshall, wheelwright, of Poynings, for eighty pounds. The last roll of this series shows it passing when George died in 1839 to his daughter Susan, wife of Thomas Walls a confectioner of Brighton.
Here arises a difficulty, for there is a parallel set of rolls concerning the descent of "a customary messuage or tenement, garden, lands and premises late Rhode's, and theretofore Gilbert's", through three generations of the family of Gallup. On the evidence of these rolls this property passed to John Gallup in 1789, and on his death in 1797 to his grandson, John, an infant, in the guardianship of the boy's father William. In 1819 this property, like Ann Lee's, passed to George Marshall. Both the 1819 rolls bear the same date, 21st January, so we may assume that Marshall bought both properties. The most reasonable explanation is that this second property was the second (middle) cottage, added in the eighteenth century to the older one at the north end, which was Barters.
A detail from the Edburton tithe map, 1842
So far, so good, but where was "Rhodes, formerly Gilberts". The parish registers tell us nothing and the copyhold rolls do not specify, until, indeed, one of the 1819 pair gives a hint. The admission of Susan Walls was to the messuage in Edburton adjoining the churchyard, and this leads to the third source, the tithe award of 1841. This is a detailed assessment of the tithe due from every field and property in the parish, and it is accompanied by a map [see above] in which every property is numbered. George Marshall is shown as the owner of Nos. 235 and 236. He had in fact died in 1839, so presumably the data for the tithe award had been collected before 1841 and not corrected. Reference to the map showed the property to be three cottages known in my time as Thatch End or the rectory cottage, and its garden. The very place I had lived in myself for nearly six years!
Plot 235 contained the three cottages, separately occupied by John Holding, William Mawley and Thomas Parker. No. 236, the northern part of the site, was separately held by James Cuttress, and is described as "garden". Maps of a later date show this section hedged off from the cottage end, and the line of this hedge can still be made out.
The eastern elevation of Rectory Cottage, c1900. Its origin as a terrace of three cottages each built at a different time is rather evident from the wall.
So now the shades of past characters move about the cottages. Of Gilberts we know nothing, but Edward Rhodes lived there before 1700 with Alice his wife, their daughter Elizabeth and their two sons who went away as apprentices, Edward, born in 1692, and bound for seven years to a cordwainer at Lewes, and William, born in 1695, bound in 1721 to a carpenter at Woodmancote. Elizabeth married Nicholas Turner but died in childbirth in 1721 and was buried at Edburton.
Next we can see George Barber, the nonagenarian, with his wife Frances and the unfortunate Hannah and her husband and children, and Hannah returning home in her widowhood to live with her son William until she died at the ripe age of seventy-two.
While these lived their lives in the oldest cottage, next door in the newer, but still ancient second cottage, old John Gallop saw his daughter married to a Woodmancote shoemaker, and when he died, we see his son William caring for his young son, another John, whose house by now it was, and how that William became Churchwarden (1802-1804), how he lost his wife and married again, and at last was laid to rest in 1831 at the age of 75 in the grave nearest the south porch of the church, where, as the headstone still enigmatically announces, "on either side lieth the remains of each of his two former wives"[3].
'In memory of Susan, widow of William Gallop, who died 30th June 1849 aged 67 years' — gravestone in Edburton churchyard, right of porch.
As a last scene, we see James Cuttress who, as a boy of seven years, had been threatened with a horsewhipping for letting some sheep wander[4], tilling his patch where now is the top of the garden.
F.A. Howe, 1956
[1] As is to be expected in a community with such strong manorial traditions, many of the smaller dwellings were held by copyhold tenure until its abolition in 1926. They derive from the villeinage of the manors, and are historically the estates which became the property of the freed villeins who became the small farmers, the 'yeomen' or 'husbandmen' of later description. Copyhold property was not transferred as freehold property was, by title deeds, but at each transfer, whether by inheritance or otherwise, by a decision of the court baron of manorial tenants summoned by the steward of the manor and recording its witness to the transfer of the property to its new owner in a deed called a court roll. [The text of this footnote is taken from Howe 1958, page 33 and replaces the corresponding paragraph in Howe's earlier 1956 article.]
[2] Members of the Barber family were still living in the parish a century later.
[3] This headstone had either disappeared or become illegible by 1991 when Joan Harris compiled the Edburton graves ledger. Howe does not remark on how truly strange the inscription is: William Gallop's widow was to outlive him by eighteen years. The inscription must have been added to his stone after her death in 1849. But by whose instruction?
[4] James Cuttress deposed as follows [in 1843]:
I am 46 years of age. I used to tend sheep for Mr. Goddard, tenant of Robert's farm. I was then seven years old. I tended them in Fulking Lane. They went out into Holmbush Lane. Mr. Charles Marchant saw them, drove them back and threatened to horsewhip me. He said it was out of Fulking Parish and they should not go there. He then occupied Brooklands which is half in Woodmancote.
Thus, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, were small children exploited.

Lufthansa Technik signs unnamed Asian client
By Adam Gavine on	 October 17, 2018 MRO
Lufthansa Technik AG has revealed that it has signed a cabin refurbishment contract with a new but as-yet undisclosed Asian VIP customer. The work, due to take place during 2019, will involve the lay-over of an Airbus ACJ319 at Lufthansa Technik´s VIP center in Hamburg, Germany.
The scope of work will include refreshing the aircraft's interior and systems to enhance passenger comfort and to meet the demands of this new owner of the aircraft. Among the modifications and upgrades will be a state-of-the-art entertainment system, enhanced sound insulation and a KA band connectivity system.
"The Asian VIP aircraft market has become more and more important for our business over the past years. More than 30 completions and major refurbishments in the Asian region clearly demonstrate that our expertise and broad service portfolio are well accepted by our customers in this part of the world," stated Jan Grube, head of Asia sales for VIP & special mission aircraft at Lufthansa Technik.

As the economic recession is coming to an end, we learn that it has taken its toll on companies like i-mate, that recently closed the doors of its Dubai HQ. The company, led by boss Jim Morissson (not The Doors' singer) announced its employees that they should take two months of compulsory leave without pay.
Next thing you know, the office was locked and the employees had no place to go, as far as work is concerned. Last we heard, i-mate launched the rugged phone 810-F and among their famous models there were also i-mate 8150 and the 6150 handsets.
In case you remember, initially HTC was all about rebranding HTC devices and selling them, making quite good business out of this initiative. However, their lack of originality eventually killed the spirit of the company, that had made quite well specced smartphones.

Weblog Tools announced that Aaron Brazell is sponsoring a "WP Custom Fields Contest" for full version WordPress users.
Aaron Brazell, techie extraordinaire from Technosailor (also responsible for the technology strategy and implementations for b5media) is sponsoring a "Custom Fields" Contest for WordPress. Basically, it is a contest to show off the best use of Custom Fields implementation in a WordPress Blog. The results will be judged on visual aesthetics, code examples and SEO benefits derived from the custom use of Custom Fields in WordPress. He will be offering cash prizes totalling $200 and is looking for sponsors and other cash and prizes for the contest. The last date to enter the contest is February 28th. It looks like he has some stellar help in judging the contest and that should make his life (and the contest) a lot easier on turn around time.
Custom Fields are found on the Write Post Panel of your WordPress blog. There are two options: key and value pairs.
The two work together to create what is known as a "meta-data element", a bit of code that can display content and information on your WordPress blog. The key is the name of the meta-data element, which is the "title" associated with the value. The value is the information that will appear in the meta-data list on each individual post that the information is associated with.
Most people use these to create "mood", book reading, video watching, music listening, and other lists, but there is much more you can do with these to add things to your blog.
You can find more information and specific instructions and guidelines for using custom fields in the WordPress Codex – Custom Fields article.
The contest is through February 28, 2007, though I fear that isn't enough time for people to learn what custom fields are and then to come up with a novelty idea for them. If there is enough initial interest, they might extend it.
So if you want to jump onto the custom fields band wagon, let Aaron know you are interested and start experimenting with your custom fields.

The results will be judged on visual aesthetics, code examples and SEO benefits derived from the custom use of Custom Fields in WordPress.
Why on earth is "SEO benefits" one of the judging factors? I can tell you now, the best uses of custom fields in WordPress will have nothing to do with SEO.
I've done a wide variety of things with Custom Fields, each time amazed at what is possible. So I'm excited to see what all these creative WordPress people come up with. Aaron is right, this is a much overlooked treasure in WordPress.
I'm excited to see what the community can come up with this hidden treasure..

(Chapter 5) Zoonotic and Vector-borne Diseases
refers to an infection or infectious disease transmissable under natural conditions from vertebrate animals to humans
methods for transmission of zoonoses
1. contact with the skin2.
a bite or scratch from an animal3. direct inhalation or ingestion4. the bite of an arthropod vector
any insect or living carrier that transports an infectious agent from an infected individual or its wastes to a susceptible individual or its food or immediate surroundings
–malaria–leishmaniasis–plague–Lyme disease–Rocky Mountain spotted fever
–disease found in more than 100 countries, with more than 40% of the world's population at risk–endemic regions include Central and South America, Africa, India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania–annual death toll for malaria is more than 1 million people
infectious agents of malaria
1. plasmodium falciparum (most deadly)2. plasmodium vivax3.
plasmodium ovale4. plasmodium malariae
cost of malaria
–economic costs in Africa = $1.8 billion in 1995–lost productivity, earnings, negative impact on travel and tourism–direct costs for treatment and prevention of disease
malaria transmission
–transmitted by mosquitoes that carry a unicellular parasite known as a plasmodium–transmission involves the complex life cycle of mosquitoes (the vector) and the human hosts (with the human liver and human blood stages)
–cutaneous leishmaniasis transmitted by the bite of an infected sand fly–reservoir consists of various species of rodents–transmitted from reservoir to human host by sand fly known as the phlebotomus fly–endemic in a total of 82 countries
environmental factors associated with observed increases in Leishmaniasis
–movement of human population into endemic areas–increasing urbanization–extension of agricultural projects into endemic areas–climate change due to global warming
–bacterium Yersinia pestis is the infectious agent for plague, a condition that infects both animals and humans–transmitted by the bite of a flea harbored by rodents
–a condition identified in 1977 when a cluster of arthritis cases occurred among children around the area of Lyme, Connecticut–causative agent is a bacterium known as Borrelia burgdorferi–transmitted by infected deer ticks
–causal agent is Rickettsia rickettsii, a rickettsial agent–a febrile disease–case fatality rate up to 25% among untreated patients–transmitted by the bite of an infected tick
arthropod-borne viral diseases
–also known as arboviral diseases–a group of viral diseases that are most commonly aquired when blood-feeding arthropod vectors infect a human host–vectors that transmit arboviruses include ticks, sand flies, biting midges, and mosquitoes
4 main clinical symptoms of arboviral disease
1. acute CNS (central nervous system) illness2.
acute benign fevers of short duration, with and without an exanthum (rash)3. hemorrhagic fevers4. polyarthritis and rash, with or without fever and of variable duration
Arthropod-borne viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF)
–viruses that cause VHFs require an animal host or insect host (arthropod vector) as a natural reservoir–viruses are limited to those geographic areas in which the host species survive–examples of animal host reservoirs include rodents, such as the cotton rat, deer mouse, and house mouse
Arboviral encephalitides
–caused by a virus that produces an acute inflammation of sections of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges–among the etiologic agents are viruses associated with many forms of encephalitis–transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes from the reservoir to a human host–reservoir consists of wild birds and small animals–cost is ~$150 million per year
–classified as a mosquito-borne arboviral diesease, the etiologic agent is a Flavivirus.
–mosquitoes are the carriers that become infected when they feed on infected birds–health effects vary from no symptoms to very severe symptomatology
emerging zoonoses
–refers to zoonotic diseases that are caused by either apparently new agents or by known agents that occur in locales or species that did not previously appear to be affected by these known agents
factors associated with the rise of emerging zoonoses
1. ecological changes that result from agricultural practices (deforestation, conversion of grasslands, and irrigation)2. other factors include changes in the human population and human behavior (wars, migration, and urbanization)
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)
–causative agent is the hantavirus, part of the viral family known as Bunyaviridae–may be transmitted when aerosolized urine and droppings from infected rodents are inhaled–primary vectors are four species of rodents (cotton rat, rice rat, white-footed mouse, and deer mouse)
hantavirus carrier
main host for the hantavirus is the deer mouse–Peromyscus maniculatus–which is found throughout North America
–caused by flaviviruses–vector is the Aedes aegypti mosquito–occurs primarily in tropical areas of the world (Southeast Asia, tropical Africa, and South America)–proportion of deaths can be as high as 40-50% when the disease is untreated
other zoonotic diseases
monkeypox2. tularemia3. rabies4. anthrax5. psittacosis
control of mosquito-borne diseases
1. use sentinel chickens2. drain standing water3.
introduce mosquito-eating fish into ponds4. repair window screens5. wear repellents and protective clothing

CP issues 72-hour notice to lock-out TCRC-Train & Engine employees
by Editorial | Mar 17, 2022 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Canadian Pacific Railway Limited (TSX: CP) (NYSE: CP) has issued 72-hour notice to the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC)-Train & Engine of its plan to lock-out employees at 00:01 ET on March 20, 2022 if the union leadership and the company are unable to come to a negotiated settlement or agree to binding arbitration.
"For the sake of our employees, our customers, the supply chain we serve and the Canadian economy that is trying to recover from multiple disruptions, we simply cannot prolong for weeks or months the uncertainty associated with a potential labor disruption," said Keith Creel, CP President and CEO. "The world has never needed Canada's resources and an efficient transportation system to deliver them more than it does today. Delaying resolution would only make things worse. We take this action with a view to bringing this uncertainty to an end."
We have been negotiating in good faith since September and over the past week, Canadian Pacific (CP) and the TCRC leadership have been meeting daily with federal mediators to reach a new negotiated collective agreement in hopes of avoiding a labor disruption. Despite those talks, our positions remain far apart.
Yesterday, CP tabled an offer that addressed a total of 26 outstanding issues between the parties, including an offer to resolve the TCRC's key issues of wages, benefits and pensions through final and binding arbitration.
Today, the TCRC leadership rejected CP's offer and, contrary to public statements by TCRC spokesman Dave Fulton that wages, benefits and pensions were the key issues, the union continues to table additional work rule demands. In rejecting our offer, the TCRC's proposal included an even more onerous pension demand. The TCRC's latest position would, if accepted, be even more destabilizing to the pension plan for all of CP's unionized employees, not just the 10 percent who are TCRC members.
For nearly a decade, CP has invited the TCRC to enroll its members in a sustainable pension-sharing program, which has benefited thousands of members of CP's other Canadian unions. The TCRC has consistently rejected this opportunity, and has done so again today. In fact, the union leadership has taken the successful pension-sharing program off the table seeking to negotiate all pension changes through collective bargaining – an unfair demand that jeopardizes the long-term health of a pension plan that 30,000 other employees and pensioners rely on.
"We are deeply disappointed that we find ourselves in this position," said Creel. "CP will continue to bargain in good faith with the TCRC leadership to achieve a negotiated settlement or enter binding arbitration. The Canadian economy could avoid all the pain and damage of a work stoppage if the TCRC would agree to binding arbitration, an outcome we continue to push for."
CP has commenced its work stoppage contingency plan and will work closely with customers to achieve a smooth, efficient and safe wind-down of Canadian operations.
TCRC represents approximately 3,000 locomotive engineers, conductors, train and yard workers across Canada. In 2021, a CP TCRC locomotive engineer earned on average $135,442 and the top earner made $209,773. Meanwhile, in 2021, a TCRC conductor, trainperson or yardperson earned on average $107,872 and the top earner made $182,888. These annual earnings far exceed the 2021 Canadian average earnings of $65,138.1 Since 2007, the TCRC members have enjoyed a wage increase of 43 percent, which exceeds the compounded inflation rate by nearly 20 percent.
CP has launched a fact-based information hub with materials about negotiating history and the issues and consequences of a work stoppage. Visit cpr.ca/TCRC2022 to learn more.
This news release contains certain forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws relating, but not limited to, collective bargaining between CP and its labour unions, potential work stoppage and CP's business, operations and service. This forward-looking information also includes, but is not limited to, statements concerning expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions and statements about possible future events, conditions, and results of operations or performance. Forward-looking information may contain statements with words or headings such as "financial expectations", "key assumptions", "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "plan", "will", "outlook", "should" or similar words suggesting future outcomes.
Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information as actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance. By its nature, CP's forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information, including but not limited to the following factors: changes in business strategies; general North American and global economic, credit and business conditions; risks in agricultural production such as weather conditions and insect populations; the availability and price of energy commodities; the effects of competition and pricing pressures; industry capacity; shifts in market demand; changes in commodity prices; uncertainty surrounding timing and volumes of commodities being shipped via CP; inflation; changes in laws and regulations, including regulation of rates; changes in taxes and tax rates; potential increases in maintenance and operating costs; uncertainties of investigations, proceedings or other types of claims and litigation; labour disputes; risks and liabilities arising from derailments; transportation of dangerous goods; timing of completion of capital and maintenance projects; currency and interest rate fluctuations; effects of changes in market conditions and discount rates on the financial position of pension plans and investments; and various events that could disrupt operations, including severe weather, droughts, floods, avalanches and earthquakes as well as security threats and governmental response to them, and technological changes. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. These and other factors are detailed from time to time in reports filed by CP with securities regulators in Canada and the United States. Reference should be made to "Item 1A – Risk Factors" and "Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Forward-Looking Information" in CP's annual and interim reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Forward looking information is based on current expectations, estimates and projections and it is possible that predictions, forecasts, projections, and other forms of forward-looking information will not be achieved by CP. Except as required by law, CP undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Q: How to track an application to determine what files are modified/created/deleted during the application execution on Linux? I searched the Internet, many of their advice is use "watch", such as:
watch -n 10 -d *command*

or
find directory -type f -mmin time -name filename

But they are for files changed by programs, not the files changed by a specific program.
Could you give any advice for me? Thank you.

A: How about strace:
strace -e trace=file <command>
From the manpage:

Trace all system calls which take a file name as an argument.

You can also do this for an already running process:
strace -e trace=file -p <pid>


This week saw the sixth birthday of the boy which led to some mixed emotions on my part.
But I discovered that lots of cake is always a good medicine for that.
The work/life balance continues to elude me - not quite sure if I'll ever find the solution to that. Answers on a postcard please.
Sunday, but it felt like a Saturday so I snuck off to have a bottle of ale in the bath.
Bank Holiday birthday party for the boy today. He chose the local soft play centre with a couple of friends And, importantly, chocolate fudge cake.
Presents opened in record time. More Star Wars Lego equalled a very happy boy.
My tiredness peaks on a Thursday and tonight I read about, rather than practised, yoga. I need to do the latter more to clear my mind.
I felt a bit lonely over breakfast today and started to question the caption on my mug.
A wet wash out today. I have a cold that appeared with a headache overnight. And after a massive depressing mope I climbed into a hot bubble bath where I sat and snivelled. I must sort myself out!
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, but love the ducks in the bath photo! Birthday cake looks amazing too.
A big Happy Birthday to your little boy - that angry birds wrapping paper is fantastic!
Looks like your boy had a lovely birthday. Hope the ducks in the bath cheered you up - great shot.
mmmm chocolate fudge cake always a good one for birthdays! i hope he had an awesome time and more Lego yay!
Wish I could help you on the work/life balance but I'm not very good at it. My youngest turned 6 last December but she will always be my baby however old she is! I hope that bath and those very cheerful ducks made you feel better. Fab photos as always x.
Happy birthday to your wee man...great cake! I teeter a lot with work life balance.
I used to love going to yoga. The best sessions I had were in Barbados, very uplifting and energising.
wow what a week! that cake looks amazing and we are all allowed days feeling like that!


Cooler Master's MasterLiquid MAKER 92 CPU cooler delivers a unique approach to CPU water cooling, but is all the fuss even worth it? Let's see.
Looking back at just about every AIO or CLC system we have seen over the years, the majority of these coolers have been the same thing as one another, with minor changes here and there. The basic concept of the CLC system is to offer users a way of removing the weight of the CPU cooler from the socket while offering the benefits of a liquid cooled system. The vast majority of these systems all have common features. There is a head unit which sits on the CPU and with a pump mounted just above the cold plate, the liquid is cycled through the head unit to remove the heat from the CPU. Beyond that, the coolant passes through tubes of various styles, some naked, some with plastic covering them, and some with a braided sleeve, but all are used for the same purpose. Then, of course, there are aluminum radiators attached at the other end of the tubing, using a fan, a pair of fans, and even up to four fans, to move the heat from the liquid into the room.
While everyone and their monkey is using this basic idea to offer their versions of AIOs, not everyone sees that as the end of the road. For instance, Cooler Master has developed a system which uses all of the components of a typical AIO but has condensed it into a much more compact system. All of the same principles are at play with their latest AIO design, but the idea here is to return the bulk of the cooler to the motherboard, while at the same time returning airflow to the motherboard and power delivery components, something many other AIOs just do not have the ability to do. The only drawback to such a system is that the overall size has to be limited due to chassis constraints, but it appears that Cooler Master has come up with ways to make this AIO even shorter for those who do have smaller cases.
Today, we bring you the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Maker 92 closed loop cooling system. With everything contained in a single unit, Cooler Master can offer features which other AIOs cannot. The major benefit to such a cooler design is that by using a special bracket design for this cooler, the MasterLiquid Maker 92 can be run vertically or horizontally. Why you may ask, is this important? The basis for this feature is not only to be able to reduce the overall height but to bring back the down flow of air to the motherboard as well, something many air and liquid coolers do not compensate for these days. There are also a few other cool features incorporated into the MasterLiquid Maker 92 from Cooler Master, but you will have to stick it out and read through this review to find out what this cooler is all about.
Following the chart provided by Cooler Master, we initially see that the MasterLiquid Maker 92 also goes by the MLZ-H92M-A26PK-R1 name as well. The second thing listed in this chart is likely most important, however. As we can see this cooler only supports Intel processors from LGA1156 on up through LGA 2011-V3. There are no options for AMD users at this time. The system is powered via a SATA power connector, and like the rest of the AIO designs, it is based on an aluminum radiator. Dimensionally, the cooler stands 167mm tall in the vertical position, 99.9mm wide, and 81.6mm in thickness. With the cooler moved into a horizontal alignment, the cooler stands only 118.8mm tall, it then changes to 142mm in width, but the thickness remains the same.
The fans that ship with the cooler are 92mm fans that have frames which measure 95mm and these fans are 25.4mm thick. The maximum airflow from these fans is rated at 49.7CFM with a combined static pressure rating of 6.4mmH2O. The noise level is said to be at 30 dB(A), the runtime is shown to be 350,000 hours, and if left to run with 12V all of the time, they will last only 50,000 hours. To help combat the shorter lifespan of the fans if used with full power, Cooler Master has designed the front fan to stay idle until the cooler reaches a certain thermal threshold, and it will then kick in to aid the rear fan, both of which are PWM controlled.
The pump, which is found at the top of the radiator in this design, is shown to only deliver 12 dB(A) of noise, so it is likely that users will never hear it running. The pump is rated to run for 175,000 hours in normal usage, but if forced to run full speed, the lifespan is cut to 50,000 hours of use. We do not see anything about flow rate, RPMs, or anything specific about the pump, but we do see that this cooler is backed by a five-year warranty.
When it comes to pricing, we still are not certain how we feel about it yet. Looking around the internet to get the best price, we see that no matter where the MasterLiquid Maker 92 is to be found, all of the pricing is the same. At the CM Store, the cooler is listed at $99.00 for those who want to buy directly from the manufacturer. If you like to use Amazon or Newegg to buy things, both locations show a current listing at $99.99, with free shipping offered to paid members. Keep in mind, this is the going rate for a single 120mm radiator based AIO, and even if there are a few tricks that this cooler can do what others cannot, we feel performance needs to be close to make this cooler from Cooler Master have much value.
Stick with us, as we plan to not only show off all of the cool new tricks the MasterLiquid Maker 92 has to offer but as we always do, we will put it through its paces and see just how well this cooler stacks up against all the rest.
United States: The Cooler Master MasterLiquid MAKER 92 CPU Cooler retails for $100 at Amazon.
United Kingdom: The Cooler Master MasterLiquid MAKER 92 CPU Cooler retails for £100 at Amazon UK.
Canada: The Cooler Master MasterLiquid MAKER 92 CPU Cooler retails for $155 CAD at Amazon Canada.


The mountain town of Berastagi is situated on the road from Medan to Lake Toba. From Berastagi you can see 2 impressive volcanos: Sibayak and Sinabung.
When driving from Medan up to the highlands of the Karo Batak tribe, you will after a few hours arrive in the mountain town of Berastagi. Brastagi lies at the feet of two active volcanoes, the Sibayak and the Sinabung. Because Berastagi is situated in the highlands at 1400 meters above sea level, it has a cooler climate and is therefore very suitable for growing fruits and vegetables.
The colorful market of Berastagi is always worth a visit. You can buy marquisa, rambutan and many other tropical and subtropical fruits.
in Berastagi, you can take a ride with a sado. These horse carts got their name from the French 'dos-a-dos', in which the passengers sit back-to-back.
The name Berastagi (Brastagi) can be explained as follows. In the town no rice grows due to the cold climate. Therefor the villagers went to the lower regions to buy rice. In the Karo Batak language, Beras Tagi (beras is rice, tagi is questions) means 'asking for rice'.
For the sports enthusiasts, the volcano Sibayak can be climbed. From the top, you have an impressive view of the surroundings and the moon-like landscape with smoking sulfur craters of the volcano.
She described the Grand Hotel Brastagi, built in the 1920s. It was a chic hotel where guests would change clothes for dinner. When Madelon Szekely Lulofs visited it, Berastagi was already a popular holiday destination. From everywhere on Sumatra, and also from Penang in Malaysia, people came to the village in the Karo highlands. In the 1920s and 1930s Berastagi was transformed into a villa village with manicured lawns, rose gardens, swimming pools and tennis courts.
In 1946, during the fights for the Indonesian independence, many hotels and villas were destroyed by fires, including the Grand Hotel Brastagi. It was, in fact, the second time the Grand Hotel Brastagi caught fire. The first time was in 1925. Although the Grand Hotel Brastagi was destroyed the swimming pool behind the hotel survived. The Planters School Association, a boarding school for children of the planters, stood nearby. During the Japanese occupation, this school was used as a prison camp. It was also destroyed in 1946 by a fire, only the foundations can still be seen. Fortunately, the former hotel of the 'Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij' (BPM, later Shell) has been preserved as a fine example of colonial architecture. In addition, there are many villas from before 1940 spread over the town of Berastagi.
As Brastagi is located on 1400 meters above sea level it has a cooler highland climate and therefore very well suited for vegetable and fruit cultivation.
In Brastagi you can make nice trips in the region for instance to the still active Sinabung volcano.
The colourful market is worth visiting where you can buy marquisa, rambutan and many other tropical and subtropical fruits.
For those who are sportive enough, you can climb the Sibayak volcano. On top of the mountain is a moonlike landscape with smoking sulfur craters and looking around you will be impressed with beautiful views of the area.

Rymax and Water Dog Smoke House Contribute Hundreds of Pounds of Food to Jewish Family Service
Margate, NJ (May 04, 2020) – Jewish Family Service of Atlantic & Cape May Counties (JFS) received a donation of an abundance of non-perishable foods and basic essentials from businesses – Rymax in partnership with H2Ocean Restaurant & Raw Bar and the Water Dog Smoke House. Their generosity assures the pantry is ready for the increase need in the coming weeks.
Rymax's generous donation included hundreds of pounds of pasta, jelly, snacks, vegetables, beverages, condiments and more. Based in Pine Brook, the company has worked with the Atlantic City hospitality/gaming industry for years providing comprehensive loyalty programs and unmatched rewards collections. In addition to purchasing and donating five pallets full of non-perishables, Rymax staff delivered directly to the pantry door and even helped upload.
As Rymax President Eve Kolakowski, said, "As a summer resident of Margate, I am honored to support the JFS Food Pantry of Margate and donate to such a great cause that will help support local families in Atlantic and Cape May counties. Rymax has been a supplier to the gaming community for over two decades. The employees of the gaming industry are one of the hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. This is our opportunity to pay it forward to our friends in the gaming community and to all the other families that are struggling during this difficult time."
The Water Dog Smoke House, located in Ventnor, has committed to offering up to 300lbs. of non-perishable food to JFS every week. In addition to accepting contributions from residents, they are working cohesively with vendors and distributors to purchase products at cost to assure ample donations.
As Water Dog Owner Steve Marchel said, "Less than a year ago, Water Dog opened its doors and residents welcomed us into their community. So, when the casinos and other businesses in our area closed, and the number of residents without a job skyrocketed, we understood the need for food would be great and wanted to help." He added, "I have a long-standing professional relationship with JFS and know the commitment they have for helping our community, so working with them on this project was the perfect partnership."
Water Dog offers guests a craft casual dining experience filled with the flavors of locally smoked fine fishes and meats. Diners will enjoy a made-to-order product that features the freshest ingredients.
"At JFS, we are grateful for the support from businesses like Rymax and Water Dog, who want to assure the employees from Atlantic City hotel/casinos as well as local residents overall, are well-taken care of, especially during the crisis each of us is experiencing now. By providing hundreds of pounds of non-perishable food, JFS is able to make certain the Pantry has a plentiful amount of food to provide to individuals and families in need," said Andrea Steinberg, JFS Chief Executive Officer.

Enough talk with Iran. Get good nuclear deal now or pivot to sanctions
By The Editorial Board
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the chances for a deal with Iran over its nuclear program are 50-50. (Carlos Barria, AP)
The U.S. and its allies may have a deal with Iran over its rogue nuclear program by the end of the week. Or they may all traipse through yet another self-imposed deadline as discussions go on in Vienna.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the chances for a deal are 50-50. "We want a good agreement, only a good agreement and we're not going to shave anywhere at the margins in order just to get an agreement," he said last weekend.
So who's sweating? Not the Iranians. A couple of weeks ago, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proclaimed his terms, several of which contradicted the terms reached in April in a tentative deal.
Now Iran's negotiators are piling on more last-minute demands. They want the United Nations to lift restrictions on Iran's trade in missiles and other conventional arms. They act, at least publicly, as though they have all the leverage, that they know their adversary craves a deal more than they do.
Where would they get that idea? Probably from the U.S. and its allies, who reportedly have been backpedaling on key points to eke out a deal.
Latest case in point: Under the interim accord, Iran was supposed to process some of its nuclear gas stockpile into a form that is harder to use in a bomb. Last month, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran didn't fulfill all of its promises. The U.S. response — a shrug and a defense of Iran.
The Institute for Science and International Security accused the administration of "making a very narrow interpretation ... that is at odds with its previous positions and common sense. It is also an interpretation that appears to favor Iran and not the United States."
The unavoidable conclusion is that instead of calling out Iran, the U.S. gave it a pass to keep the talks going.
International experts raised the same suspicions last month. A special panel that investigates nuclear sanctions-busting accusations against Iran noted that those complaints had mysteriously all but dried up.
The U.S. and its allies should remember what Gerard Araud, the French ambassador to the U.S., tweeted earlier this year: "We want a deal. They need a deal. The tactics and the result of the negotiation should reflect this asymmetry."
Iran's economy, crippled by U.S. and EU sanctions, is in shambles. Iran stands to reap as much as $150 billion in sanctions relief in a matter of months — money that could be used, as is Tehran's wont, to fund terror groups and operations across the globe.
Iran is already vowing to double its crude oil exports after sanctions are lifted. "We are like a pilot on the runway ready to take off," Iran's deputy oil minister for planning and supervision said in The Wall Street Journal. "This is how the whole country is right now."
Iran needs a deal. These talks started 18 months ago. Iran is still feeling the economic pain. The U.S. still holds the option of imposing even more impactful sanctions on Iran's key industries and banks.
President Barack Obama has said many times that he'd walk away from a bad deal. He will not get an effective agreement unless he means that. And he may well have to walk away.
