Silver Range Stakes and Explores Quartzite
VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – September 07, 2016) – Silver Range Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SNG) ("Silver Range") announces that it has staked and conducted preliminary exploration at the Quartzite Property in the Kivaliq Region of Nunavut.
The Quartzite Property is near Kaminak Lake, 130 km SW of Rankin Inlet. The property follows the contact between a gabbroic intrusion and metavolcanic rocks in a regional structural setting favourable for hosting Archean lode gold mineralization. The property covers 10 Nunavut Government documented gold occurrences along a 9 km strike length.
At the West End Zone, quartz carbonate veins carry gold with galena and pyrite. Historical sampling of this material returned assay values of up to 17.3 g/t Au. Confirmatory sampling during 2016 returned grab samples results of up to 27.3 g/t Au.
The central Eva Lake Zone covers an extensive train of metavolcanic-hosted quartz-galena-chalcopyrite-pyrite float. The best historical sampling from this area returned results of 132 g/t Au. Confirmatory sampling during 2016 returned results of up to 26.2 g/t Au.
At the eastern Joan Lake Zone, pyrite-bearing quartz veins in carbonate-altered mafic metavolcanic rocks returned historical assays up to 17.8 g/t Au. Confirmatory sampling during 2016 returned results of up to 9.53 g/t Au. Historical work in the area by Noble Peak Resources included an electromagnetic and magnetic field survey covering a portion of the claims. No drilling has been conducted on the property.
Silver Range is building and exploring a portfolio of high grade gold targets in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Nevada to fulfil an increasing demand for gold projects in politically stable jurisdictions.
Technical information in this news release has been approved by Mike Power, M.Sc., P.Geo., President and CEO of Silver Range Resources Ltd. and a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.
ON BEHALF OF SILVER RANGE RESOURCES LTD.
President, C.E.O. & Director
This news release may contain forward looking statements based on assumptions and judgments of management regarding future events or results that may prove to be inaccurate as a result of exploration and other risk factors beyond its control, and actual results may differ materially from the expected results.

Poll: Americans Back Effort To Block Biden's Beefed-Up IRS
Poor People Five Times More Likely Than Average Earner To Be Audited by Biden IRS
Joseph Simonson
Kochs Lobby Against Tax Breaks for Koch Industries
Libertarian philanthropists say cronyism is bad, even when they benefit from it
Lachlan Markay
Conservative groups frequently derided as tools of powerful business interests are lobbying hard against a package of tax breaks for American businesses.
The company owned by billionaire philanthropists Charles and David Koch, as well as groups frequently associated with the fraternal libertarians, are pushing Congress to let 55 tax breaks expire, including several that provide billions in tax relief for corporations such as Koch Industries.
The various tax breaks are theoretically temporary, but have been consistently renewed. Together, they provide roughly $45 billion in tax relief to individuals and businesses each year.
House leaders expect the full package of tax extenders to pass despite opposition from conservative groups that either oppose tax preferences for specific industries or hope to see the various provisions considered individually.
"We oppose ALL subsidies, whether existing or proposed, including programs that benefit us, which are principally those that are embedded in our economy, such as mandates," wrote Philip Ellender, president Koch's government affairs division, in a Wednesday letter to members of Congress.
Ellender singled out the wind production tax credit as particularly deleterious. But unlike that provision, some of the tax breaks included in the House package benefit activities in which Koch and its subsidiaries are heavily invested.
Koch subsidiary George Pacific, for instance, qualifies for a tax break for the production of cellulosic biofuels. Another subsidiary, Flint Hills Resources, operates biofuel production facilities that could benefit from another of the provisions.
Those tax breaks could improve Koch's bottom line, but the company sees federal tax preferences in general as economically harmful.
'Koch doesn't view these as 'benefits' even if they are in industries we're in," explained a source familiar with the company's public affairs strategy. 'They are wasteful and market distorting, and allow other firms to run businesses that aren't making money any other way."
Americans for Prosperity, an influential conservative group with ties to the Kochs, suggested that the wind PTC is just such a provision.
'We just have a particular dislike for wind subsidies, since that sector has so little to show for the massive subsidies received over the past few decades," Levi Russell, a spokesman for AFP, said in an email.
But like Koch Industries, he said, 'we oppose corporate cronyism of all forms." AFP is encouraging lawmakers to vote against the full package of tax extenders.
While Democratic lawmakers and members of the media insist that the Republican Party marches in lockstep with Koch Industries, whose owners are Republican donors, the tax extender package appears headed for passage despite opposition from Koch Industries, and that of groups with which it is associated.
The House likely will not split the package into stand-alone provisions that can be voted on individually, a position supported by Heritage Action for America, another prominent conservative group.
'Each provision should be allowed stand or fall on its own merit, and the vast majority of these provisions would not survive such scrutiny," said Heritage Action spokesman Dan Holler in an emailed statement.
Pro-business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce support the package of tax extenders. Americans for Tax Reform, a group that works to minimize the American tax burden generally, also supports it.

It's always a treat to get a behind-the-scenes tour. This week I was lucky enough to be invited to the preview of Gardeners' World Live. So I found myself wandering around the show gardens, instead of pressed up against the boundary ropes and fences surrounding them. Here's a few highlights from my special day out.
Castles,with their history and romance, inspired the design. I loved the ruins with trickling waterfall, wild roses, foxgloves and ferns. The pink spires at the base of the waterfall are purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria.
A rustic pergola was swathed in Albertine and Mortimer Sackler roses. Walking through the garden, the scent was so delicious on a hot sunny day. Salvia Love and Wishes is the focal point plant in the old stone urn in the centre. CED Stone supplied the Golden Amber pathway material- a self-compacting gravel. It makes a beautiful and affordable surface for cut flower gardens and veg plots.
One stand-out feature for me was the white Desdemona rose. Bred by David Austin, it is exquisitely beautiful with peachy pink buds opening to pure white blooms. It has a strong perfume and flowers until November. Grows to about 4ft and is disease resistant, plus the flowers cope with rain. The designer has used it as a low hedge underplanted with Nepeta Six Hills Giant.
I spotted vetches, yellow rattle, clover and crested dog's tail grass in the wild flower turf. The focal point tree is Malus Rubra- brilliant for spring blossom, autumn crab apples, and attractive plum-coloured leaves all summer. The multi-stem tree used in the garden looks like a river birch, with peeling bark blending in with the colour of the ruins alongside.
Winning my prize for the garden I'd most want to roll up and take home – and providing the garden bench I would most like to recline on, a show garden with many elements worth "borrowing." A triumph of great design and plant knowledge.
Supporters: Parkers Building Supplies,CED Stone, Home and Garden Ironworks, Woody Fox Willow, Hilliers, Rolawn.
I hope you've enjoyed my behind-the-scenes tour. If you are going to Gardeners' World Live, let me know which gardens you love this year, and which is your favourite feature. There's plenty to see…. and I haven't even mentioned the floral marquee. That's a wonderful place worthy of a blog post all on its own. More to follow!
The show looked great on GW last night. It is a pity the BBC did not devote more than one programme to its own garden show, there appears to be so much more to see.
Garden. I love all the flower choices and the path sets them off beautifully. A great winning design.
A most enjoyable post and lovely pictures. I'm generally not a fan of many show gardens but this one looks and sounds like my kind of garden, and I especially like the bench.
It was really inspiring. Such a lot of effort had gone into making the show gardens, and there were as many plants in the floral marquee as at Chelsea. Much easier to get to than Chelsea too.
Thanks for the tour, and for your level of description of the design. Gorgeous!
Thank you for reading and for taking the time to get in touch. I must admit, it was a garden that drew me back several times. It was a calm oasis in the midst of a hot, busy showground.


Check out the second part of this industry spotlight. Alabama Damascus shows us how they paved the way. Be sure to read Part 1 if you missed it!
James Downs makes use of Alabama Damascus with this piece, which features a sheep-horn handle and random-pattern steel.
Once Vice was able to turn a profit, he began to pay rent, per an agreement with the owner. Eventually, the property became his. Vice's company, Alabama Damascus Steel & Cutlery in the rolling hills and rugged mountains of Jacksonville, Alabama, incorporated nearly a decade ago. Now known as a solid and reputable producer of the Damascus that many custom makers prize, Vice has established himself in a profession he is proud of.
"We have made six tons of Damascus since June," he says. As the sole Damascus provider for Bear & Son, also located in Jacksonville, Vice's shop churns out Damascus steel used in the company's line of heavy-use inventory (512-layer Damascus) as well as for limited-edition products in a lighter Damascus. Ken Griffey, owner of Bear & Son, says having a local crafter is a bonus for his operation. "The Damascus business grows every year. If I need some steel, usually he can get it over to me within a few days," Griffey says. "He has a pretty experienced work crew. They work together really well," he adds.
Blue Ridge Knives has an agreement with Kershaw to produce Kershaw knives using Brad Vice's quality Damascus. "The Damascus has been around forever," says Jeff Woods of Blue Ridge Knives. "The steel that we are getting from Brad looks good and is [available] at a price that anybody can afford. It seems to be holding up well and is selling well," he says.
James Downs pairs a Warncliffe blade design with Brad Vice's bird's-eye Damascus.
Though these relationships are vitally important to Vice's professional life, he has a soft place in his heart for the custom-makers who use much of his Damascus, turning out unique knives for individuals to collect and enjoy. These makers, many of whom have won top show honors with knives crafted from Brad Vice's Damascus, need steel with specific qualities. "I think [today's collector] is looking for the unique piece," Vice says. "Every piece of steel we make is different. Most [producers] are pressing their patterns into their steel. We put ours in with 38,000-pound air hammers putting out 2,000 pounds [of pressure] per square inch," Vice continues.
A stabilized spalted-maple handle complements the Alabama Damascus random-pattern steel on this James Downs creation.
Although custom maker Tom McGinnis (www.ozarkknifemakers.com) produces his own Damascus, he uses Brad Vice's Damascus for all of his knife-making classes and also for wholesale products. "We're looking for a steel that's got a pretty pattern that etches real nice and, most of all, hardens and holds a great edge. Not all Damascus steel will allow you to get a true Rockwell point. When we harden Brad's steel, run it through cryogenics and temper it, we can easily get a 58 Rockwell point. We have great luck with Brad's steel," McGinnis says.
A large gas forge is used to heat several billets at a time.
The Alabama Damascus Steel building was originally a cotton gin that has, over the years, housed Fain Edwards Knifeworks and the steel-making end of Parker-Edwards and Bear MGC cutlery companies.
Knifemakers can learn how to purchase Brad Vice's quality steel by calling him personally at (256) 282-7988 or by visiting www.slabamafamascus.com.

UPD. I need to skip lines with invalid date, invalid format... I forgot my iss... in order to fix line by line appending to deque... we do not care about commentary existance we care about existance 4 first items like date, source, destination, amount..

A: Since the comment text has spaces in it, use std::getline() instead of operator>> to read it, eg:
if (!((iss >> date_ >> source_ >> destination_ >> amount_) && getline(iss, comment_)))

Alternatively:

Reminds me of the malts I used to get as a kid. Sometimes the shake is really thick and sometimes not, depending on the thickness of the coconut meat. Sometimes I add a little water to adjust the consistency. As always with raw, experiment with the proportions. This is an awesome pickup in the middle of the day.
1. Put everything in the blender for about 3-5 minutes. You can adjust the sweetness and the chocolatiness with agave.

Maca can give things a "malty" taste. I love the stuff!
This sounds great!!...what makes it tastes "malty"? I'll have to try it and see for myself.
Yeah it's the maca... I live with this lady and we play around with this recipe a bit. Sometimes there is some carob in there and sometimes a little mesquite, sometimes all 3. Just make sure if you use mesquite to only use enough to ad flavor because this stuff can take over a smoothie in no time. Carob works really well with chocolate I've found.
I really want to get some maca powder and when I do Ill def try this!
i've tried this recipe without the maca but with everything else and vanilla in addition and i added ice blended in my champ blender (similar to vitamix) and the texture came out malty like milk shake. so, you don't need the maca.


After realizing that this thing will literally cut through everything (except diamond) I thought it could be interesting to make a CNC machine that could do just that. The following are some of my experiments in that department.
Existing motorized wire saws usually use a loop of diamond wire, much like a band saw. I did not want to use this approach since A: I didn't have a good way to make a loop of the wire I had and B: I wanted to be able to use bits and pieces of wire and not discard the whole piece if it broke. In stead I decided build a reciprocating bow saw. Above is the first attempt. The bow is mounted on a linear bearing attached to a base plate. A crank and connecting rod creates the reciprocating motion. The whole assembly would have to be mounted on some kind of structure and the shaft be turned by some kind of motor.
Not satisfied with the mounting of an external motor I changed the design to be driven directly by a stepper motor.
Since the wire is lubricated with water I realized that the assembly needed to be mounted upside down to prevent water from getting into the bearing and motor. I therefore build a gantry structure to hold the mechanism.
For the CNC part I needed some kind of XY motion control. I ended up using parts of a auto sampler (thank you local dumpster). This had all the moving parts I needed, including the linear bearing for the saw.
Last thing I needed was a clamp/vice to hold whatever is being cut. I made a simple 'filing clamp' of 3mm steel with some rubber for grip.
Initial results are promising. Above squiggle are cut into a 1mm microscope slide. A 1mm hypodermic needle for compairson.
I will post about future progress.

Editor's Note: For complete coverage of the Eclipse of the Century go to cnn.com/eclipse. Watch live, in virtual reality, as the eclipse moves coast to coast on August 21.
The Rooftop Bar at Vendue in Charleston, South Carolina, is a charming spot with views of the ocean and a breeze to match.
In the evening, it normally fills with laughter and pastels. But in the mornings, it's fairly quiet.
One exception will be one Monday in August, when you'll have to pay a $25 cover charge – at 11:30 a.m.
That's because Charleston, and therefore the Vendue's rooftop, is located directly within the 70-mile-wide sliver of the United States from Oregon to South Carolina that will soon experience a total solar eclipse. For a few spectacular minutes on August 21, the moon will fully cross the sun's path, turning daylight into twilight.
"We were a bit surprised at how big of a deal the eclipse has become," said Robbie Fagerstrom, a Vendue concierge. "The city is buzzing about it."
If you can't get out to nature for this unique event, you might as well watch with a drink in your hand. Here are seven rooftop bars from which you can catch this show.
This is the progression of a total solar eclipse.

The Role of Law and Policy in Achieving the Healthy People 2020 Nutrition and Weight Status Goals of Increased Fruit and Vegetable Intake in the United States
Healthy People 2030 organizes the social determinants of health into 5 domains:
Education Access and Quality
Health Care Access and Quality
Neighborhood and Built Environment
Social and Community Context
Food insecurity is defined as a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food.1 In 2020, 13.8 million households were food insecure at some time during the year.2 Food insecurity does not necessarily cause hunger,i but hunger is a possible outcome of food insecurity.3
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) divides food insecurity into the following 2 categories:1
Low food security: "Reports of reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet. Little or no indication of reduced food intake."
Very low food security: "Reports of multiple indications of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake."
Food insecurity may be long term or temporary.4,5,6 It may be influenced by a number of factors, including income, employment, race/ethnicity, and disability. The risk for food insecurity increases when money to buy food is limited or not available.7,8,9,10,11 In 2020, 28.6 percent of low-income households were food insecure, compared to the national average of 10.5 percent.2 Unemployment can also negatively affect a household's food security status.10 High unemployment rates among low-income populations make it more difficult to meet basic household food needs.10 In addition, children with unemployed parents have higher rates of food insecurity than children with employed parents.12 Disabled adults may be at a higher risk for food insecurity due to limited employment opportunities and health care-related expenses that reduce the income available to buy food.13,14 Racial and ethnic disparities exist related to food insecurity. In 2020, Black non-Hispanic households were over 2 times more likely to be food insecure than the national average (21.7 percent versus 10.5 percent, respectively). Among Hispanic households, the prevalence of food insecurity was 17.2 percent compared to the national average of 10.5 percent.2 Potential factors influencing these disparities may include neighborhood conditions, physical access to food, and lack of transportation.
Neighborhood conditions may affect physical access to food.15 For example, people living in some urban areas, rural areas, and low-income neighborhoods may have limited access to full-service supermarkets or grocery stores.16 Predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods may have fewer full-service supermarkets than predominantly White and non-Hispanic neighborhoods.17 Convenience stores may have higher food prices, lower-quality foods, and less variety of foods than supermarkets or grocery stores.16,18 Access to healthy foods is also affected by lack of transportation and long distances between residences and supermarkets or grocery stores.16
Residents are at risk for food insecurity in neighborhoods where transportation options are limited, the travel distance to stores is greater, and there are fewer supermarkets.16 Lack of access to public transportation or a personal vehicle limits access to food.16 Groups who may lack transportation to healthy food sources include those with chronic diseases or disabilities, residents of rural areas, and some racial/ethnicity groups.15, 16,19 A study in Detroit found that people living in low-income, predominantly Black neighborhoods travel an average of 1.1 miles farther to the closest supermarket than people living in low-income predominantly White neighborhoods.20
Adults who are food insecure may be at an increased risk for a variety of negative health outcomes and health disparities. For example, a study found that food-insecure adults may be at an increased risk for obesity.21 Another study found higher rates of chronic disease in low-income, food-insecure adults between the ages of 18 years and 65 years.22 Food-insecure children may also be at an increased risk for a variety of negative health outcomes, including obesity.23,24,25 They also face a higher risk of developmental problems compared with food-secure children.12,25,26 In addition, reduced frequency, quality, variety, and quantity of consumed foods may have a negative effect on children's mental health.27
Food assistance programs, such as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP); the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program; and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), address barriers to accessing healthy food.28,29,30,31 Studies show these programs may reduce food insecurity.29,30,31 More research is needed to understand food insecurity and its influence on health outcomes and disparities. Future studies should consider characteristics of communities and households that influence food insecurity.32 This additional evidence will facilitate public health efforts to address food insecurity as a social determinant of health.
i The term hunger refers to a potential consequence of food insecurity. Hunger is discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain caused by prolonged, involuntary lack of food.

It's time to lighten the mood here on my site. Here is the picture of the day… My five year old nephew, Cousin J, doing a fun run last weekend. Look at the determination on his face. It's like he's thinking, I MUST BEAT THOSE GIRLS.

Global Lens Reflections on life, the universe, and everything
Who is Paul Jeffrey?
Photography can be, at its best, an intimate window into people's lives. Yet intimacy implies proximity. The war photographer Robert Capa understood that. He said, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." At a certain point, however, getting close can induce discomfort in the subject of the image, making them change what they're doing. So where's that magic line we want to approach and not cross?
I don't have a clue.
What I do know is that the more we make our subject comfortable with our presence, the more relaxed they'll be, the more they'll go on with the task at hand, the more they will ignore us, and the better our image will be. Getting ignored, as much as that's possible, is good. In many cases, I want the subjects of my photos to act as if I'm not there. I want viewers of my images to look at my picture and see what normally happens in the life of that person on the other side of the lens. This is a bit dishonest, in one sense, because of course I am there, and my presence, according to the Observer Effect, inevitably changes things, at least subtly. But I can nonetheless lower my impact on the scene by taking the time and effort to get comfortable, which will translate into the subject getting comfortable enough with my presence that they quit thinking about being observed, despite the click, click, click. Sounds easy, right?
It's not. But before we delve into some the complexity of getting comfortable, there are some easy things a photographer can do to diminish their impact on a visual image.
One, mind your shadow. If you're shooting on a sunny day outside, and the sun is very low in the sky behind you, you will cast a shadow on the ground. I'll often step to one side a bit simply to get my shadow friend out of the image.
Two, park the vehicle out of sight. If you've shown up in a remote African village after several hours of bumping through the bush, your driver will park in the shade under a tree that is inevitably going to be in the background of your shot. But that vehicle isn't usually there, and to help erase the suggestion that anything is out of the ordinary, I'll ask the driver to move it. Sometimes I've done that several times, as my subjects change or move around. If you explain why to the driver, they'll usually get one step ahead of you and move it proactively or find some good place to hide it. Getting the vehicle out of the image also mitigates any dynamic range issue you're likely to have because of that spot of blown highlights.
Three, work by yourself. When you're trying to take pictures as a member of a group, someone from the group is likely to wander into your frame. And your subjects will be even more distracted by the number of visitors. If you're working on a photo of two or more people, their eyes will wander around keeping track of all those people, and you'll often end up with people looking different directions. I hate it when, for example, I'm taking a photo of a mother holding a child and they're looking different directions. If you're forced to shoot in such a situation, just keep clicking, as the odds will go up that you'll get some synchronicity in their eyes. But the best option is not to get stuck with other people. Or even with another photographer. Several times I've been in a remote location with another photographer, and unless security mandated sticking together, we would agree to walk off in different directions and meet up later. Both of us ended up with better images as a result. Being alone makes it easier to get comfy with people, and for them to get comfy with you.
The most important element in this discussion, however, is time.
Settle in. Quit thinking that you need to be somewhere else. Get comfortable. This will take some time.
Photographers will tell stories about getting to know a community first without a camera in their hands. That allows people to get to know them, get comfortable with them, before they introduce the click into the relationship. And that's not surprising, for the easiest part of photography is pressing a button. The hard part is getting to the right place at the right time with the right people and the right attitude. So some leave the camera behind initially. That's a luxury I seldom have, however. So the only option left is to schmooze my way into getting people to relax. I'm using schmooze as a positive word here, not in the original Yiddish sense of idle gossip. I'm talking about being authentic and empathetic, as much as that's possible when you're jet-lagged and sweaty, standing in the unforgiving and unrelenting midday sun in the middle of a crowd that speaks a language you don't understand and your stomach is regretting the porridge that smelled so good at breakfast. Despite all of that, this means making eye contact, saying a few words in whatever language people speak, and smiling or not smiling, whichever is appropriate (this entails some understanding of what's appropriate). It also means moving slowly. I once shot a funeral in Haiti where there were over 50 news photographers present. I marveled at watching James Nachtwey move around in the crowd. There was a slowness, a gentleness, to his movements, and yet he was always exactly where he needed to be. He was even gentle when he shoved me because I crowded too close to him when we were both trying to photograph a woman screaming in grief. Moving quickly, even in someone's peripheral vision, will attract attention, make you seem threatening, or at least obsessed with your own agenda. Moving slowly will allow you to get away with all sorts of things.
If people feel you're sympathetic to whatever emotion they're feeling at the moment, they're more likely to accept you as part of their immediate environment. If they are laughing and you're laughing, you're on the right track. If they're sad, and they sense that you share their sadness in some way, then they're more likely to accept you. If they're engaged in prayer or worship, and sense that you are being respectful to their reverence, then they may allow you to observe. And if they're hiding behind a barrier because someone is shooting at them, by all means follow their lead, otherwise they'll think you're an idiot. You don't want them to think you're an idiot (because that probably means you are an idiot). In fact, you don't want them to think about you at all.
So you settle in, and let people get comfortable with you. They either forget about you or simply quit caring about you. Whatever works. Best case scenario, they get bored with you.
That's Bashir Aliyona, a Somali refugee boy, yawning. He's with his mom Kadija Abdi Wadadow and a sibling in the Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya. It's the largest refugee settlement in the world, and it's got zillions of kids who are bored. When they spot a photographer, they see entertainment, and soon there are scores of them walking with you, getting in the way, making dust, being obnoxious (a trait I mastered as a kid so I recognize it quickly), literally making it impossible for you to get comfortable–unless, of course, your assignment is taking photos of frenzied hordes of children. One way I worked around this problem was to head to the very edge of the camp early in the morning before most of the little darlings were awake. One morning I found Sagul Mohammed Omar. She and her five children had just recently trekked across the desert from Somalia, and they were right on the edge with few others around. So I interviewed her and then hung around for two or three hours, until she and her kids quit thinking about me. It took a while, but it was worth it. (By the way, the first photo, if I recall correctly, was taken by climbing on top of the vehicle because I wanted to show the landscape. So I indeed got the vehicle out of sight by getting it underneath me.)
Here are some Arrow Boys on patrol in South Sudan, along the border with the DRC, where the Lord's Resistance Army has been making raids, and so villagers, frustrated with the lack of an effective response from governments, decided to form their own militias to defend themselves. They took to the forest armed with mostly bows and arrows to combat a ruthless army equipped with modern assault weapons. We were introduced by some church workers who they knew and trusted, and I'd spent several hours interviewing them. With that baseline of trust, I invited myself along with them on patrol. Simon Peter Gamana (right) and Charles Gorden did exactly what I wanted them to do–they mostly forgot about me–which was made easier by the fact they had someone else to worry about.
In 2012 I was documenting the life of Roma families in an illegal settlement in the middle of Belgrade, Serbia. The families that lived there, many of whom survive from recycling cardboard and other materials, were under constant threat of eviction in order to make way for new high-rise office buildings. I had spent some time interviewing Milan Pesic, who told me about earning money as a member of a Roma band that played at weddings and other gatherings. I was in no hurry, and delayed my departure from his little shack as long as possible (it was also really cold outside). One of his kids told him he should play his french horn for me, so he did, and as we talked quietly afterward his youngest child, Boban, pushed his way in and started trying to play it himself.
Sometimes the time spent schmoozing pays off later on, as I learned in another encounter with Milan and his family later that year after they'd been expelled by the city and were living in a collection of metal shipping containers far outside the city.
The same getting comfortable dynamic was at work in capturing these images of boys playing cards and a family at home in Cambodia, then Cindy Moon, a United Methodist missionary in Thailand, practicing patience as she waits for hours with 9-year old Play Nata to see a dentist.
Some activities may be less conducive to people getting comfortable with your presence. I was in Gaza shooting a story about the effect of Israel's policies on the health of women, and wanted to shoot a mammogram. (Breast cancer rates are several times higher among Palestinians than among Israelis, in part because Israel blocks the introduction of medical equipment.) When I told my male translator my idea, he said no way. (If you're not aware, Gaza has a very conservative Muslim majority.) I pushed and schmoozed, finally convincing him to try. So when we were in a hospital shooting some other images, we asked the administrators about the possibility. They were open to the idea, but assured me that no women would agree to it. So I schmoozed some more, and we talked with Saeda Jondia, the x-ray tech who conducts the mammograms. She said she was not optimistic, but she'd try. She disappeared into the waiting room for several minutes, finally emerging with permission from Ibtesam Al-Zein to let me accompany them during the procedure. In this case, it was not me but someone else–Saeda–who got the subject comfortable with my presence.
Prayer is perhaps one of those moments when people are more likely to feel invaded by the presence of a photographer, but, again, taking the time to get to know people, and helping them understand why you're there, will often encourage incredible hospitality, including the invitation to document their intimate religious life. In the next image, two Muslim women–Farmah Adam Ibrahim (right) and Sit-Eldoma Atiya–pray outside their hut in a displaced persons camp in the Darfur region of Sudan. In the second image, a K'iche' Maya indigenous priestess prays in San Andres Xecul, Guatemala, during a traditional Maya spiritual ceremony. (This photo was used on the cover of a book I wrote about the role of faith groups in the Guatemalan peace process.)
This next photo of a murdered Honduran peasant was possible for two reasons. One, I was in the community when he was murdered, and thus I could accompany the family to the site of his murder to recover his body. Two, I had already been there for several hours talking with folks. It was palm oil plantation that the workers had seized as part of a long dispute with the country's wealthiest man. They have armed guards that keep people out, including the police and army, and getting inside required some, wait for it, schmoozing. Capturing this image, which I did by reaching with my camera over people's heads as they prepared his body for burial, was only possible because people had grown comfortable with me.
Working around kids usually means just out-waiting their attention span, and soon you're part of the background noise. Here are two images from an assignment on urban refugees in Egypt, the first of kids in class and the second of some getting ready at home in the morning.
Even with portraits, where there's no pretense about the photographer's presence, comfort is still an issue. While covering Libya's civil war, I went to photograph Malake Ashama, a beautiful five-year old in Misrata who was playing with her toys in her bedroom when a Grad rocket fired by government forces slammed into her home. A brother and sister were killed, and she lost a leg. When I first arrived at her home, her father, Mostfa, was very welcoming, but the girl was quite apprehensive. Only after a while, and as I was hurriedly on my way out the door with my cameras packed away and in a rush to catch a boat ride to Benghazi, did she relax enough for me to make a usable image. I quickly put my bag down, assembled a camera and lens, and clicked off three or four quick images. It was enough.
It's often a matter of whom I'm with, and how the trust that people have in them is transferred to me. In the next image, Rodrigo Mello, an outreach worker for the Street Children Project in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil, is talking with 11-year old Gabriel Acevedo Silva in the doorway of the boy's home as his mother, Elismar do Nacimiento Acevedo, listens. You can see another Project staff member, Leonardo Duarte, in the mirror on the wall in back. I got into this family's home because Rodrigo and Leonardo introduced me and told people they could trust me (or ignore me, perhaps it's the same thing). A similar process is at work in the following photo, where I'm accompanying a group of mothers in Manila. It's an image of Rafaela Valencia exercising the legs of Susan Dison's 15-year old daughter Susein, as Dison's 7-year old son Apo plays an electronic game in their crowded home on the second floor of a very poor section of the Malate neighborhood. They are members of Kaisahan ng Magulang at Anak na Maykapansanan, a mothers' group that carries out community based rehabilitation with families which have members with disabilities. Susein has cerebral palsy. When I started shooting, Apo kept looking at me, which worked against a good image, but ultimately his game proved more interesting than me. Yes.
I could go on and on, but I think you're getting the idea. So let me end with a woman I found inside a little tent last year in an informal camp for people displaced by South Sudan's civil war. Nyanthem Mayol is staring at photos of her relatives while her baby daughter Sara sleeps at her side. They had spent several weeks walking through the bush after fighting broke out in their home town of Bentieu, arriving in Ajuong Thok with hardly anything, though Nyanthem still clung to her book of photos. It was her only link to loved ones she may not see again, to a life that, for now, she has lost. Perhaps she was so depressed that she didn't care if I was there. Or perhaps letting me photograph her was a way of sharing her pain, and this alleviating the burden. I don't know, but I am thankful to her for the gift of letting me photograph a very private moment.
Images can have amazing power, whether it's to excite, to illumine, or to console. That power is accessible to us when people grant us the incredible privilege of coming into their lives for a few moments. We can do a variety of things to encourage them to get comfortable with us standing there, but what ultimately makes the moment happen is their incredible hospitality, their willingness to lovingly accept us no matter how annoying we are. Capturing images like this isn't the result of manipulating people with a handy bag of photographer tricks, but rather of humbly opening ourselves to receiving grace from another.

Of All the Home Burglaries in Lawrenceville, 60.08% Occur During the Day.
Wanted a bit more room than in neighboring city, Atlanta? Lawrenceville is an excellent choice, full of family fun, charming homes, and a growing number of places you'll want to take visiting friends.
For starters, there's the fun and quirky Dizzy Gypsy—self described as a local awesomeness and creative studio—where art, yoga, and creativity of all kinds meet under one roof. Practice your downward dog, choose a painting for your entryway, or test your own skills by signing up for an art class. No matter what you choose, you'll be helping to support your artistic neighbors.
Now that you've picked up some valuables for your home, you'll want to keep them safe. Install an ADT-monitored home security system to equip your home with 24/7-monitored motion detectors, security cameras, and smoke alarms. You'll even get remote smartphone control, so you can lock your doors on the way to the next stop on your Lawrenceville bucket list.
That next stop just might be historic downtown. As the oldest city in the greater Atlanta area, Lawrenceville definitely has the history to prove it. Learn about your new region by paying a visit to the Gwinnett History Museum or take the fam to the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse. While you're perusing your new quintessential downtown, grab a pint at the local Exhibit A(le), where you can sample your beer of choice for just a buck fifty. After all that's the beauty of L'ville: history meets modernity.

Q: I don't understand where beginChildren, endChildren functions are called I'm a novice, trying to learn PHP (and object-oriented programming in general). I've tried to follow the threads, but I can't see where the functions current(), beginChildren() and endChildren() are getting called. Many thanks in advance if anyone can let me know where these get called, and equally importantly, how to I search this out by myself next time?
class TableRows extends RecursiveIteratorIterator {
    function __construct($it) {
        parent::__construct($it, self::LEAVES_ONLY);
    }

    function current() {
        return "" . parent::current(). "	";
    }

    function beginChildren() {
        echo "
";
    }

    function endChildren() {
        echo "
" . "\n";
    }

}

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "testDBPDO";

try {
    $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
    $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    $stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM MyGuests");
    $stmt->execute();

    // set the resulting array to associative
    $result = $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    foreach(new TableRows(new RecursiveArrayIterator($stmt->fetchAll()))    as $k=>$v) {
        echo $v;
    }
}

A: in answer to " how to I search this out by myself next time? "
I saw your 'TableRows' class extends from 'RecursiveIteratorIterator', so I have googled 'RecursiveIteratorIterator'
then I have found the refernce of it : PHP: RecursiveIteratorIterator - Manual
there I have found some usefule information about your issue
 another useful link in stackoverflow : How does RecursiveIteratorIterator work in PHP?
 have a good learning time

A: "beginChildren" in this case is a function that acts within a nested list, to show in this specific case an html element. I am referring to a nested list because the HTML element that represents a list within a table is opened with 'tr' to show the current that it is inside a cell 'td' and then closes with the 'endChildren' and its respective /tr. It is a function that acts as a complement to nested lists; very used in HTML that acts a lot with markers.

Engaging with the Future of Golf for the Northern Ireland Open
Galgorm Castle Golf Club
In perfectly timed symmetry - and by sheer coincidence - Modest! Golf issued a press release that dovetailed with my rant against the ShopRite LPGA Classic in New Jersey, next month. Essentially the people running the US tournament have decided to issue one sponsor invitation based on a beauty contest. I'm not kidding. That is utterly the wrong way to promote golf. The right way to promote golf, on the other hand, is the Modest! Golf way and I applaud them for their approach. They will invite the leading Under 18 player to compete in the Northern Irish Open (10-
13 August). Does that not open doorways and send the right message to young golfers! Here are the details:
This year's Northern Ireland Amateur Open will take place at Galgorm Castle Golf Club on Tuesday 18th July. The winner, plus the leading under-18 player, will qualify for the NI Open, presented by Modest! Golf, as the golf management company extend their support of the NI Open to embrace the Northern Ireland Amateur Open.
Approach to the 3rd hole at Galgorm Castle.
The Northern Ireland Amateur Open, sponsored by Specsavers Ballymena, has become one of the province's standout amateur championships since its inception in 2009 and this year promises to attract another quality field, especially with the added incentive of competing against Europe's leading professionals from August 10-13, at the NI Open.
"Last year we enjoyed a dramatic sudden death playoff before Warrenpoint's Jamie Fletcher overcame local favourite Michael Reid from Galgorm Castle, to add his name to the illustrious list of champions," explained Galgorm Castle's Ross Oliver.
Cormac Sharvin, former Northern Ireland Amateur Open winner (2012)
and now full time touring professional, who will compete in the 2017 NI Open
"Walker Cup player Cormac Sharvin won in 2012, Ireland internationals Reeve Whitson (2010) and Tiarnon McLarnon (2015) also feature on the roll of honour, while Ballymena's current shining light, Dermot McElroy, won in 2013 and went on to finish tied ninth at the NI Open and finish as leading amateur."
Former winners such as Sharvin and McElroy will return to Galgorm to compete as touring professionals, illustrating the role tournament golf at Galgorm plays in the development of Ireland's young amateurs and professionals.
This year's Northern Ireland Amateur Open will also guarantee a place in the NI Open for the leading under-18 player, courtesy of an invite from Modest! Golf, as they continue to provide playing opportunities for young amateurs just like they did by inviting teenage sensation Tom McKibbin to play in the 2016 NI Open.
Teenage sensation Tom McKibbin, who was invited by
Modest! Golf to compete in the
2016 NI Open at Galgorm Castle Golf Club (PressEye).
Niall Horan, Director of Modest! Golf, said: "We are excited to be involved in the Northern Ireland Amateur Open and are delighted to extend an invitation to the leading under-18 competitor. These guys are the future stars of the game and we want to support this next generation of talent."
Fellow Modest! Golf Director Mark McDonnell commented: "We hope this invitation to the leading under-18 player will encourage more applicants from this age group than ever before. It's a great platform to test and improve their game and we must thank Galgorm Castle and the European Challenge Tour as always for supporting our values and vision."
Galgorm Castle's 4th hole (a river runs in front of the green)
The prestigious 36-hole strokeplay event holds a key date in a busy summer schedule for the game's elite amateurs. The Northern Ireland Amateur Open doesn't clash with other championships and is expected to attract a strong field, not only for the chance to win but for the opportunity to compete in one of the best professional events on the European schedule.
Amateurs competing in the NI Open will also have the opportunity to earn ranking points in the Challenge Tour's Road to Oman, but before that, all focus will be on becoming the 2017 Northern Ireland Amateur Open champion.
Entry forms can be downloaded at niopen.golf or galgormcastle.com. The closing date for entries is Monday July 3rd, 2017, entry is £35/€45 and includes lunch. For further information contact the Galgorm Castle Professional Shop on +44 (0) 28 2564 6161.
