Japan: Books for Kids on Shogun, Family Crests, Block Prints
Posted on July 5, 2011 December 1, 2018 by Pragmatic Mom
Japan: Children's Books, Culture, and Art of Shogun Period
I have been thinking of doing a Teach Me Tuesday on Japan for a long time and now, with Japan in the news, I am a little tongue-tied. My mother's side of the family is from Hiroshima and though we have a cousin who now lives in Tokyo, all are safe and sound. So this post is for everyone who has ties to Japan, either though family or emotionally (and that is probably most of the world as we look on with empathy and try to help).
The books I've chosen reflect a version of my own family history. Yoko's Paper Cranes by Rosemary Wells is lushly illustrated with nods to Hiroshige's iconic block prints called ukiyo-e. Allen Say is another favorite author of mine and his chapter book reflects his personal story of a young aristocratic boy who is determined to learn cartooning from a famous artist in The Inn-Keeper's Apprentice. Both books traverse between two worlds, which I think, reflects the simultaneous push-pulls of the history of Japan with respect to the United States. In the case of Yoko's Paper Cranes, the two worlds are the distance between the United States and Japan. In The Inn-Keeper's Apprentice, there is also the two different worlds of pre and post war Japan.
My Family History (Daimyo versus Samurai)
My own family history is a microcosm of the history of Japan which I studied a bit in college — Chinese history, my other heritage, being so much older was a more daunting academic challenge. My mother thought it important to make sure that we knew that our family was from the Daimyo class, who were feudal lords of vast holdings of inherited land. My mother said that we were distantly related to the emperor but not through blood but marriage. Only the emperor used the chrysanthemum as the royal crest but if your family was related through blood, their family crest (called Ka-Mon) would include the chrysanthemum.
Samurai, which is a term more widely known, were the military nobility loyal to a particular Daimyo family. I learned from a museum in Japan that there were something like 22 ranks of Samurai, determined by birth. It was possible to become a samurai much like a stable boy in England could be knighted. In the case of Japan, even an exceptional stable boy could make the lowest rank of samurai.
Throughout much of Japan's history, there were power struggle between the emperor and the daimyo ruling class. When the daimyo class were powerful and united, the leader ruled the country as Shogun (which is more well-known term thanks to James Clavell).
To keep the daimyo in check, the emperor required each family to send a contingent to the court as ladies-in-waiting that served to forge ties and as hostages. When Admiral Perry showed up in 1853, he forced Japan to open the country and this is considered the trigger that caused the downfall of the Edo Shogunate. The Meiji Restoration that followed put the emperor back into power and the ruling class was stripped of their land.
This part of history is now personal. My great uncles and great grand parents fortunes were land based so with their lands gone, had no means of income. Worse, part of their lost lands contained sacred burial grounds of ancestors and needed to be purchased back. My male relatives immigrated to Hawaii to work the sugar cane and pineapple plantations — something that was meant to be temporarily that turned into forever — in order to earn the money. When my great-uncle married in Hawaii, he was disowned for not marrying within his rank. That seems so silly now but that was the way it was back then.
My grandparents immigrated to San Francisco and without knowing English, worked as house servants and also ran a boarding house. Such is the immigrant experience. Other daimyo fared better. The most famous daimyo descendants today in Japan include Morihito Hosokawa, the 71st Prime Minister, and figure skater Nobuari Oda.
The Japanese American story would not be complete without remembering their forced internment during WWII and after that bad experience, the was much effort made to assimilate; much more so, in my opinion, that any other Asian ethnic group here in America. My mother and her family were forced to most of their belongings behind to move to a remote part of Utah where the nukes were tested underground. Their samurai swords were left hidden in their boarding house, hidden between the studs of a wall but never to be retrieved again.
In a final weird twist of fate, my brother married my lovely sister-in-law who is also Japanese American and her sister-in-law is from Hiroshima also. It turns out that she was from a samurai that served my family as we all have the same family crest. They had made baseball caps with the crest and when our cousin from Japan sent us a copy of our family crest, it was virtually identical (see above, ours is the second one to the right on the first row). It is, indeed, a small world!
Both images from The Book of the Samurai: The Warrior Class of Japan by Stephen R. Turnbull, page 82.
p.s. The family crest follows the mother's side of the family. I thought that was interesting as it indicates a more matriarchal society though I am not sure if this is actually true.
Yoko's Paper Cranes by Rosemary Wells [picture book, ages 4-7]
Yoko communicates with her grandparents back in Japan by sending them origami cranes as a reminder that she, too, will return to visit just like the cranes in their garden.
The Inn Keeper's Apprentice by Allen Say [chapter book, ages 9-12]
A young boy from an aristocratic family follows his own destiny by apprenticing with a famous cartoonist. This is Allen Say's own story set in post war Japan.
I wanted to add a few more books that I've just discovered that fit this theme of Samurai KidLit thought these books appeal more to boys than girls:
Moonshadow series by Simon Higgins
This is a fast paced, samurai sword wielding adventure series set in medieval Japan. Moonshadow is a ninja samurai on a dangerous spying mission who success will prevent a civil war from breaking out. Both Shogunate Japan and sword fighting come alive. Author Simon Higgins is a martial arts swordsman expert so he really knows his stuff.
Heart of a Samurai by Margi Preus
Newbery Honor winner!
*Starred Review* Manjiro is 14 when a freak storm washes him and his four fishing companions onto a tiny island far from their Japanese homeland. Shortly before starving, they are rescued by an American whaling ship. But it's 1841 and distrust is rampant: the Japanese consider the whalers barbarians, while the whalers think of the Japanese as godless cannibals. Captain William Whitfield is different—childless, he forges a bond with the boy, and when it comes time for Manjiro to choose between staying with his countrymen or going to America as Whitfield's son, he picks the path of adventure. It's a classic fish-out-of-water story (although this fish goes into the water repeatedly), and it's precisely this classic structure that gives the novel the sturdy bones of a timeless tale. Bracketed by gritty seafaring episodes—salty and bloody enough to assure us that Preus has done her research—the book's heart is its middle section, in which Manjiro, allegedly the first Japanese to set foot in America, deals with the prejudice and promise of a new world. By Japanese tradition, Manjiro was destined to be no more than a humble fisherman, but when his 10-year saga ends, he has become so much more. Wonderful back matter helps flesh out this fictionalized version of the same story told in Rhoda Blumberg's Shipwrecked! The True Adventures of a Japanese Boy (2001). Grades 7-11. –Daniel Kraus from Booklist
The Samurai's Tale by Erik Christian Haugaard
I had this book in my bookshelves and just uncovered it. It's another great story that makes 16th century Japan come alive!
"To enter THE SAMURAI'S TALE is to immerse oneself completely in sixteenth-century Japan, when powerful warlords struggled for supremacy. Seldom does a historical novel evoke the mood, color, and soul of an era as skillfully as this one does. . . .THE SAMURAI'S TALE, poetic yet unflinching, is excellent." Boston Herald
Shogun by James Clavell [adult fiction]
If you want an enjoyable beach read set amid the turmoil of Shogunate Japan, this is a classic!
Ando Hiroshige
I love this iconic block prints called ukiyo-e. My mother bought some a long time ago when she visited Japan and now they are collectible but dependent on condition. There was a time when merchants would use imperfect prints as newsprint and wrap goods with them. If you read Yoko's Paper Cranes, you'll notice Rosemary Well's references to these prints in her gorgeous illustrations. To me, Hiroshige is the most famous Japanese ukiyo-e artist, but he was also influenced by his contemporary, Hokusai, whose works are below. I think Hokusai is a little too old-fashioned for me. What do you think?
Japanese Family Crests
These days the Japanese family crests are used by graphic designers to portray an "Asian" or "Japanese" motifs. They are beautiful examples of branding though, don't you think?
Post WWII Japanese Cartoonist
I don't know who the cartoonist was in The Inn-Keeper's Apprentice, but it could have been Osamu Tezuka who was a Japanese Cartoonist, manga artist, animator, producer andmedical doctor, although he never practiced medicine. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lionand Black Jack. He is often credited as the "Godfather of Anime", and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative years. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga", "the god of comics" and "kamisama of manga".

Marjorie (PaperTigers) says:
I'm so glad you left a commetn over on PaperTigers as I missed this wonderful post last month. So interesting, and my heart goes out to your family for their experiences during the Second World War.
I've said it in my reply at PT, but just to repeat it here, the cartoonist Allen Say apprenticed himself to was Noro Shinpei. I asked about him in my interview with Allen Say in in 2006. There doesn't seem to be much information about him available in English but I've just found this post from a Spanish blog, with some book covers…
Pragmatic Mom says:
To Marjorie,
Thank you so much for your comment and for solving the mystery of the cartoonist Allen Say apprenticed with. And thank you for sharing the link to your post!!
I do think that everyone's immigrant story is so interesting. My mom just wanted us to remember our heritage. She's very proud of being from a daimyo family but when all's said and done, my mom is a pretty cheerful person without regrets. I don't think she's bitter about her WWII experiences.

The place where you get clean should be a reflection of the activity. However, bathrooms have the tendency to accumulate all kinds of gross buildup quite easily, especially if different members of the family share the space.
You'll find everything from black mineral buildup around the faucets to water stains on the mirrors and sinks, to clumps of hair in the drain-catcher, and many others that can cause diseases if not combated with bathroom cleaning tips.
If you want to take your bathroom from grimy to sparkling clean, professional cleaners have seven of the best bathroom cleaning tips for you here.
Get rid of build-up and restore the shine of your faucets, showerheads, walls, and glass elements with white vinegar. The acidity of the vinegar will break down the mineral deposits and at the same time polish glass, tiles and metal hardware.
Use baking soda and citric acid to clean your sink, counter and toilet bowls. Not only with these two ingredients effectively break down dirt, but they can restore the shine of granite and porcelain material as well.
Freshen up your plastic shower curtains by putting them in the washing machine. Add vinegar to the water; the acidity from the vinegar will get rid of mildew and other stains.
Clean the gunky grout of your bathroom tiles with powdered oxygen bleach and water. This powerful product will loosen dirt right away that you won't even need to scrub vigorously to restore the grout's original color.
Remove the toilet seat to get rid of gunk in the corners of the base of the tank. Also, with disinfectant wipes, wipe down the toilet seat and the rim of the toilet bowl.
If you have a bathtub, fill it up with water and add baking soda and vinegar to it. This will get rid of soap stains on the surface and the drain. Plus, this will disinfect the tub effectively.
Combine the bleach and water in the small bucket and soak the cotton coils in the solution. Afterwards, place the soaked cotton coils in the areas with molds and just let them sit for a couple of hours or so (do this while wearing rubber gloves and ventilation mask).
The pungent scent of the bleach solution will go away when you air out the bathroom.

US Records Highest Coronavirus Death Toll In Single Day
By RTTNews Staff Writer ✉ | Published: 4/8/2020 7:56 AM ET
Coronavirus death toll reached 12,857 in the United States with 1,800 deaths reported on Tuesday alone, the highest on a single day.
More than 400,000 people tested positive in the U.S., the country with the highest number of coronavirus infections in the world.
As per latest data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, 400,549 people were confirmed positive for COVID-19.
President Donald Trump said at his routine news conference that the U.S. might be getting to the top of the "curve", while Andrew Cuomo, the Governor of the worst-affected state, said New York appeared to be nearing the peak of its pandemic.
With 131,916 people tested positive for COVID-19, New York is set to surpass Italy in the number of confirmed cases.
Having recorded 731 deaths on Tuesday, the state recorded its highest daily death toll.
New York death toll increased to 5489, more than one-third of the U.S. total.
New Jersey is the second badly hit state with 1232 deaths and 44,416 infections.
Michigan (845 deaths, 18970 infections), Louisiana (582 deaths, 16284 infections), California (450 deaths, 17620 infections) Washington (403 deaths, 8682 infections), Illinois (380 death, 13549 infections), Massachusetts (356 deaths and 15202 infections) and Georgia (348 deaths, 9156 infections) are the other worst-affected states.
Meanwhile, U.S. defense medical officials said the Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort and the Defense Department-run alternate care facility at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, both in New York City, are now taking patients with COVID-19.

Q: Consolidate values from multiple tables without duplicate it I have tried to do the below example using joins and union but was not successful. I appreciate any assistance.
I have a Student table and 3 other tables of courses Planed to be done, current Enrolled and, Concluded course. For each of those courses tables, I have the FK_Student and the Course name. I do like to "join" all results in a single line for each course name with each course table as a column name. (The same course can be in multiple tables)
See example below:
Table: Student
Id_Student | Student
1           Bob
2 ...

Table: Planed
Id_Planed | Course | Fk_Student
1          History   1
2          English   1
3          Biology   1
4          Geometry  1
5          PE        1
6          Algebra   1
....

Table: Enrolled
Id_Enrolled | Enrollment | Fk_Student
1            History        1
2            Biology        1
3            PE             1
...

Table: Concluded
Id_Concluded | Conclusion | Fk_Student
1             History      1
2             English      1
3             Physics      1
...

Expected Result:
Student | Planed | Enrolled | Concluded
Bob      History   History   History
Bob      English   NULL      English
Bob      Biology   Biology   NULL
Bob      Geometry  NULL      NULL
Bob      PE        PE        NULL
Bob      Algebra   NULL      NULL
Bob      NULL      NULL      Physics

A: FULL OUTER JOIN is used here because every subject name are not existed in all table. First subquery retrieve student wise Course, Enrollment and Conclusion record. Then INNER JOIN with student table as per expected output. If all student info needed then LEFT JOIN will be better. In Planed/Enrolled/Concluded table same Course/Enrollment/Conclusion can not assigned multiple time for particular student. As student_id and course needed for calculation so use two tables student_id and course inside COALESCE() so that always return NOT NULL value.
-- SQL SERVER (v2014)
SELECT s.Student, r.Course, r.Enrollment, r.Conclusion
FROM Student s
INNER JOIN (SELECT COALESCE(t.student_id, c.Fk_Student) student_id
                 , t.Course, t.Enrollment, c.Conclusion
            FROM (SELECT COALESCE(p.Fk_Student, e.Fk_Student) student_id
                       , COALESCE(p.Course, e.Enrollment) Course_t
                       , p.Course
                       , e.Enrollment
                  FROM Planed p
                  FULL OUTER JOIN Enrolled e
                               ON p.Fk_Student = e.Fk_Student
                              AND p.Course = e.Enrollment) t
                  FULL OUTER JOIN Concluded c
                               ON c.Fk_Student = t.student_id
                              AND c.Conclusion = t.Course_t) r
        ON s.Id_Student = r.student_id;

Please check from url https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=sqlserver_2014&fiddle=09d03c0b64d31c8ae5a3b91145b7b7e5

A: It looks like your data model is somewhat flawed in its design, I would have expected a table of Courses with each course linked by a Course_Id to each student for each type.
I'm not clear on your desired output but it seems like you want a complete list of courses for each student and which of each are applicable in each case.
You can use a CTE to build a table of truth for all courses which is then cross-joined to Students so each student is presented with the full list of courses and then outer-joined to the 3 tables to indicate which courses are applicable to the student on each case.
with courses as (
    select course from planed union
    select enrollment from enrolled union
    select conclusion from concluded
)
select s.Student, p.Course Planed, e.Enrollment Enrolled, cc.Conclusion Concluded
from courses c
cross join student s
left join planed p on p.course=c.course and p.fk_student=s.id_student
left join enrolled e on e.enrollment=c.course and e.fk_student=s.id_student
left join concluded cc on cc.Conclusion=c.course and cc.fk_student=s.id_student

A: Try this (no nested query or CTEs):
SELECT
  s.Student,
  p.Course,
  e.Enrollment,
  c.Conclusion
FROM Planed AS p
FULL JOIN Enrolled AS e
  ON e.Fk_Student = p.Fk_Student AND
     e.Enrollment = p.Course
FULL JOIN Concluded AS c
  ON (c.Fk_Student = p.Fk_Student AND
      c.Conclusion = p.Course) OR
     (c.Fk_Student = e.Fk_Student AND
      c.Conclusion = e.Enrollment)
RIGHT JOIN Student AS s
  ON s.Id_Student IN (
       p.Fk_Student,
       e.Fk_Student,
       c.Fk_Student
     );

Result:
+---------+----------+------------+------------+
| Student |  Course  | Enrollment | Conclusion |
+---------+----------+------------+------------+
| Bob     | History  | History    | History    |
| Bob     | English  |            | English    |

| Bob     | Geometry |            |            |
| Bob     | PE       | PE         |            |
| Bob     | Algebra  |            |            |

Don't you just love the aroma of raspberries? Well, raspberry ketone is party responsible for that sweet smell. It's a plant chemical that raspberries contain and a compound that's proving to be an exceptional aid for those who are trying to lose weight. It has some properties that make it similar to synephrine (a stimulant). Raspberry ketones found in raspberries is much like how you find resveratrol in red wine and grapes. Scientists have released research that shows just how much weight you can lose by taking raspberry ketone supplements.
In studies, animals that received raspberry ketone while eating a diet very high in fat managed to not gain weight or fat as you would expect. So what's that mean to you? Raspberry ketone supplements can very much likely slow or prevent your body from gaining weight, while at the same time burn away fat.
Raspberry ketone enzymes boost your metabolism naturally. Boosting your metabolism is one of the best ways to promote healthy weight loss. If you have slow metabolism then your body isn't able to burn up calories fast enough and instead it ends up being stored as fat. The higher your metabolism, the more calories your body is constantly burning.
When it starts to run low on calories to burn then it turns to fat storages you already have in your body. That means you should start noticing that you're losing weight without even putting in more effort. If you keep your metabolism running high then weight loss will be much easier. You'll be able to lose and keep off weight without crazy rigorous workouts all the time and extreme dieting.
What Raspberry Ketone Supplements Are Available?
There are actually quite a few supplements that have hit the market after Dr. Oz featured it on his show. But most of the time, you'll find them in pill form. The raspberry ketone enzyme is extracted from the raspberries and put into the pills. Just be sure that the one you use is completely all natural, so there isn't a host of odd, foreign filler ingredients. If they are, you'll be disappointed with the weight loss results.
Not all added ingredients are bad, though. For example, some of them will add other natural ingredients that actually boost its weight loss properties in one way or the other. There may be acai or green coffee extract added. Each of these bring their own benefits to the table, so understand what they do and choose the supplement that fits your needs.

Jaguar Introduces The Refined 2020 F-Type Sports Car
Nargess Banks Senior Contributor
I cover cars and design—and where they intersect.
New Jaguar F-Type
Jaguar first revealed the contemporary take on the much-loved E-Type in 2012. The occasion was the international motor show in Paris and the production F-Type was a considered product avoiding any retro references to its predecessor while still honoring its spirit. And it was a sensation for the marque. Jaguar Land Rover had recently been purchased by Tata Motors and the new F-Type, with its bold sporty surfaces, made a clear statement as what to expect from the marque.
New Jaguar F-Type retains the original car's proportions
Seven years later and Jaguar introduces a new F-Type. This is the first production car to be revealed under the design directorship of Julian Thomson, who took over from Ian Callum earlier this year. "Jaguar has been making sports cars for more than 70 years and that rich heritage has inspired the team to create something truly extraordinary," he says of the new car. It is, he feels, "more dramatic than ever, with even greater clarity of purpose in every line, surface and feature, and embodies true Jaguar design DNA."
There is a new light treatment at the rear
There are no revolutionary statements being made with the 2020 F-Type, though. Instead, the overall design theme remains almost unchanged, with the more visibly sculpted surfaces and new clamshell bonnet adding a little visual length to the car. There are flush, deployable door handles and air vents; the grille has been enlarged a touch to include the logo and hexagonal cell design with gloss black facings and satin finish inner surfaces. Visual width is also enhanced through a new clear front bumper design and slender rear LEDs, which follow a similar style to the electric I-Pace.
Exterior design director, Adam Hatton, explains that his task was more about refining the existing car. "Our aim was to make the car more contemporary, more purposeful and even more dramatic," he says.
There are pixel LED lights at the front of the new F-Type
There is, however, a little light design story unfolding here, too. Slim pixel LEDs (standard on the R-Dynamic models) feature in Jaguar's now signature J daytime running lights. The element was created with, what the team are calling, calligraphy graphics – a swooshing slim stroke along the horizontal element of the light widen as it sweeps upwards. Then running along the J is a monogram pattern, inspired by Jaguar's heritage logo, while inside the light cluster are four LED gemstone-looking modules. Finally, the pixel technology links the windscreen-mounted stereo camera to the lights' controller so every light element can be switched off or dimmed to produce a high-beam, masking out oncoming vehicles and avoiding dazzling other drivers. Visually, this new swooshing light graphic also accentuates the car's width.
The new Jaguar F-Type has a driver-focused interior
"The beautiful flowing surfaces subtly reference great Jaguar cars of the past," says Hatton, "while the new vents blend perfectly into the sculpted aluminum around them." He adds the new wheels and side-vent "add modernity" to the car. "The powerful rear design has new slim, elegant lamps incorporating latest LED technology and our Jaguar 'chicane' rear signature graphic with intricate monogram pattern."
The driver-focused interior offers the mix of premium sporty materials you would expect of a modern Jaguar and with some added extra details, such as monogram stitching on the seats and door trim. There are lightweight slimline seats – available in sport and performance design - revised 12.3-inch interactive driver display, Meridian audio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Inside get the expected sports-premium interior treatment
Sportier R-Dynamic models get a little extra attention: layered J aero-blades, which nod to the racing influence, but also help to guide the airflow more cleanly around the front of the car. They feature gloss black bezels around the apertures, making the car look even more assertive, while aero strakes serve to further reduce drag. The apertures feature a mesh pattern matched to the cells in the grille on all F-Types.
The new Jaguar F-Type will be available from 2020
There is a new 450ps supercharged V8 model introduced here on rear-and all-wheel drive cars, plus the three engine – 300ps turbocharged four-cylinder and 450ps and 575ps V8s - all feature active exhaust systems, which are switchable either as an option or as standard. The distinctive F-Type "crackle-and-pop" has been retained, but is tuned to suit the range of four and eight-cylinder engines. The two more powerful V8s benefit from the "quiet start" function: the electrically-actuated bypass valves in the rear silencer remain closed until they automatically open up under load on the open road.
The new Jaguar F-Type will be available next year and is priced from £54,000 (around $70,000).

Q: Why does my code run successfully as a console app, but throws an exception as a class library? C# Microsoft.Exchange.Webservices I am new to C# and I am working on a project that utilized the Microsoft.WebServices.Data DLL (from NuGet) to connect to and Exchange account and move emails that fall within the specified date range in one folder to another folder (on the same account).

I have read through the documentation on MSDN, declaring the TimeZoneInfo, ensuring that all reference files are located within the same folder, placing variables outside of the method(s), using different Target Frameworks, using different types of Class Libraries (.NET Framework, .NET Standard). I have been Googleing it, searching through StackOverflow, and trying to find YouTube video tutorials that may assist. I have also tested it on two different machines with the same results on each.
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

A: StackTrace :   at Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeServiceBase..ctor(TimeZoneInfo timeZone)
   at Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService..ctor(ExchangeVersion requestedServerVersion)
   at Outlook_iHM.MoveEmails.FindAndMoveEmails(String username, String password, String origFolderName, String moveToFolderName, String startDate, String endDate)

This is the important part. This tells you where in code it failed. The stackTrace When reading a stackTrace you always start at the bottom. The bottom should point to some point in your own code. In this case it says that path the code took was a function called FindAndMoveEmails which i see in your code you provided.
In that function (reading the next line up of the stack trace) it called what looks like a class constructor called Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ExchangeService..ctor. Guessing constructor because of the cut off "ctor" at the end of the location specified. In your code, it is this line:
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1);

The last line up in the stackTrace shows that the ExchangeService class is calling its base constructor and that is where it is failing. So it doesn't like something about your "ExchangeVersion.Exchange2007_SP1" parameter you are providing when run as a DLL.
If your DLL is running on your same machine as you are running the console app on then this would be kind of odd. But if your DLL is running on a different machine like a server then a few issues can come up. Its not JUST a difference of console vs DLL.
I will modify answer here if you provide clarification on your running environment.

A: After much trial and error, here is how I resolved the issue:
Download and install Microsoft Exchange Web Service Managed API on the machine.
(In this case, it is the Virtual Machine that is utilizing my class library and the Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll. | Note: The prod VM is a basic setup of windows, so no Visual Studio, etc., unlike my dev machine.)

DreamWorks' third instalment now sees Po having to find his inner 'chi' and defeat a dastardly yak from the spirit world. Well, it's certainly animated.
In real life, pandas are quite beguiling creatures. It's not for nothing that they have been adopted as the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund. In real life, kung fu is an extraordinary human discipline, an art which, like music, painting and ballet, elevates the human species to a higher plain. In animation, the Orient has served to distinguish many a feature film, from the output of Studio Ghibli and anime to Disney's Mulan. Here, all that is overturned in the name of child-friendly buffoonery. With little attention to real wit, Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni's Kung Fu Panda 3 provides little more than a mishmash of anthropomorphic slapstick and otherworldly pyrotechnics.
Our hero, a giant panda of little brain called Po (voiced by Jack Black), is now called on to replace the kung fu teacher Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) and become the protector of the Valley of Peace. Of course, Po proves to be as inept a teacher as he is a student and is advised by Shifu to find his inner 'Po'. He can succeed if he can only become the master of himself, attaining an inner strength called 'chi.' Sagely, Shifu divulges to Po that, "if you only do what you can do you will never be more than you are." But, of course, this is way too much for the panda to take on board. However, when an almighty demon, Kai (J.K. Simmons), returns to the mortal world after a 500-year banishment, all is lost unless Po can pull his socks up.
In an age when animation is increasingly raising the bar with films like Inside Out, Anomalisa and the upcoming Loving Vincent, it's dispiriting to witness something so cynically aimed at the box-office. While some of the incidental animation has its pleasures, most of what is on screen is a shambolic obstacle course of gravity-defying leaps and pratfalls. It's easy to convey wholesale destruction with the use of CGI, far harder to summon up any semblance of charm. It's a shame, as the visuals are often impressive and the vocal talent formidable (Hoffman, Simmons and Angelina Jolie have all won Oscars). But the crass rendering of Po and the other pandas he encounters here (his father is voiced by Oscar nominee Bryan Cranston), is an insult to the gentle bear-like animal. And animating the remarkable art of kung fu is akin to replicating the voice of Adele with castanets.
Voices of Jack Black, Bryan Cranston, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, J.K. Simmons, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Kate Hudson, James Hong, Randall Duk Kim, Jackie Chan, Wayne Knight, Pax Jolie-Pitt, Knox Jolie-Pitt, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

Ms. Kate Swaffer, chair and CEO of Dementia Alliance International (DAI), visited the Control Yuan on September 28, 2017. She was received by President Chang Po-ya, who was accompanied by Members Jane Y.W. Chiang, Lin Ya-feng and Bau Tzong-ho. Both parties had a constructive exchange of views on the latest global development of human rights-related dementia policy, and the ROC's status quo on the human rights of the people with dementia.
During the meeting, President Chang pointed out that the Control Yuan serves not only as the national ombudsman institution under the ROC five-power system, but also as a protector of human rights. With the nation's aging population and increasing number of people with dementia, President Chang noted several issues that warrant immediate attention. They include: promoting early diagnosis and treatment of dementia, strengthening the supporting network, and reinforcing the number of care givers. During her past tenure as the Interior Minister, President Chang changed the then-existing mandarin translation of dementia to a non-stigmatizing one. Early in August, the Control Yuan concluded an investigation of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Dementia Policy and Objectives in its ten-year Long-term Care Plan, and listed 9 areas for improvement. The Control Yuan shall continue to monitor the subsequent improvements on this issue to better protect the rights of the people with dementia.
Ms. Swaffer was invited by the Control Yuan to speak at its 2017 Workshop on the Human Rights of Older Persons. She was accompanied Mr. Peter Watt, who is both her husband and care partner. Ms. Swaffer expressed her appreciation for the Control Yuan's efforts in the rights of people with dementia. She believes that the ROC has an edge over the others to lead the world in this regard. She also hopes to transcend the language barrier to encourage more people with dementia across the globe, and DAI aspires to become a platform to empower and lend a voice to them. President Chang agreed with Ms. Swaffer, and said that the Control Yuan should serve as a bridge to share these information on dementia with its international counterparts.
At age 49, Ms. Swaffer was diagnosed with dementia. Since then, she has become an activist that strongly advocates for the rights of people with dementia. She co-founded the DAI, which is one of the very few international organizations that are run by people with dementia. She was invited by the World Health Organization as a keynote speaker at its First Ministerial Conference on Global Action Against Dementia in 2015. Her many contributions and efforts are instrumental to the realization of WHO's Global action plan on the public health response to dementia 2017-2025.

Q: Exclude path from Windows 7 search? It's really quite incredible how bad Windows 7's search seems to be.  The latest problem I have with it is that I want to search for filenames including the string "user", so I go to the directory I want to search in (C:\Users\jez\testing), type *user* in the search box, and hit enter.  It gives me... every single file.  Because "user" is in the path of every file, with everything being under "C:\Users..."
OK, this is useless.  Is there a way to just search for the string within files rather than their paths, or do I need to download some decent 3rd party search software?

A: To search only filenames, prepend name: to your search. For example, your search would become
name: *user*.

MOON BOOT®
Moon Boots are one of the design symbols of the 20th century. The warming cult boots were created by Giancarlo Zanatta, the idea for them was the result of an event of the century. The Italian was inspired by the landing on the moon in 1969. His "elephant feet" not only quickly won the hearts of après-ski lovers, but also stormed the world market in flight - still today with ever new, modern variations - and always warm.

MOON BOOT: ELEPHANT FEET INSPIRED BY THE MOON LANDING
On 20 July 1969 Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin left the Apollo 11 spacecraft to set foot on the moon. The imprints left by her space boots became the first human autograph in space - a historic moment. Millions of people watched the spectacle on their screens at home. One of these spectators was Giancarlo Zanatta. The young businessman from the small Italian town of Montebelluna was just on a trip through the USA. He attended an event in New York's Pennsylvania Station celebrating the moon landing. Photos of the three astronauts in their space suits were everywhere. Giancarlo Zanatta was inspired by the design of her strange-looking shoes, which had the task of counteracting the lower gravity on the moon.
Back in Italy he designed his legendary shoes, which could only bear one name: Moon boat. His prototype was a pair of "elephant feet", where the left one looked like the right one, and for which his father declared him crazy. And yet numerous shops immediately became Moon Boot dealers: 6000 pairs were sold in the very first year, 20,000 the following year, then 40,000, then 100,000 - until the stormy demand of the Moon Boot Sale necessitated the construction of a new factory building for his company Tecnica, which his father had founded in 1960. And the success story continues. Moon Boots, online or in store, have sold over 25 million units worldwide to date.
MOON BOOT: 100 DIFFERENT SHAPES, COLOURS AND DESIGNS
The unmistakable shape, which is both ergonomic and practical, first became a hit on the ski slopes and then even an international symbol of Italian design. Moon Boots are made of plastic on the outside and are foamed or padded on the inside. The plastic sole is waterproof, very durable and non-slip. To date there are more than 100 different shapes, colors and designs: nylon or leather surface. Single-coloured or multicoloured. Matt or shiny.
High or half high. The original Moon Boot became one of the greatest commercial successes in the history of the renowned Tecnica Group, which thus became one of the most important players in the sports fashion industry and today unites the companies Blizzard, Nordica, Lowa and Rollerblade under its roof. And the company is still in family hands today: Giancarlo's son Alberto Zanatta is now acting as Tecnica President.

3 GOOD REASONS FOR MOON BOOT
Design: To date there are more than 100 different shapes, colors and designs of the Moon Boot.
Awards: The Louvre chose the Moon Boot as one of the "100 most important design objects" of the 20th century.
Durability: Moon Boots are made of high-quality plastic on the outside and are therefore very durable.
MOON BOOT SHOP AT KELLER SPORTS: WARM FEET GUARANTEED!
The best of Moon Boot products: They guarantee warm feet and therefore great outdoor experiences! After all, in winter there is hardly anything more beautiful than a walk through the snow in waterproof and comfortably warm shoes. The tight lacing and the non-slip treaded sole of the cult snow boots protect you absolutely reliably against ice and snow - and convince us as Moon Boot dealers. It has long been impossible to imagine a skiing holiday without the Moon Boot. Whether wide or narrow feet, the winter boots hold in every situation. In our Moon Boot Store you will find both the iconic après-ski model and the fashionable Monaco Low version with its shortened silhouette and warm fur.
PURISTIC OR OPULENT - WITH MOON BOOTS YOU HAVE THE CHOICE
While the Moon Boot almost disappeared during the 1980s, the classic is currently experiencing a real revival. After over 50 years, winter boots are more popular than ever among athletes, stars, fashionistas and fashion bloggers. The Moon Boot models for women impress with their variety of colours and designs: whether puristic in white or black or opulent with fur trimmings or in metallic shades - the space boots not only keep women's feet warm through the winter, but also guarantee perfect grip for men thanks to the rubber outsole with profile.
MOON BOOT - SHOE WITH CULTURAL-HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Two world-class museums have already analysed the cultural and historical significance of the Moon Boot in major exhibitions. In 2000, the Louvre named him one of the "100 most important design objects" of the 20th century. And in the MoMa exhibition "Items", the boot was one of 111 objects from fashion and design that, according to the curators, have shaped the world. "On the occasion of the exhibition, our entire family traveled to New York, and my father showed us exactly where he saw the astronauts' poster at the time," Zanatta said in an interview. By the way, the MoMa even integrated the Moon Boots permanently into its collection afterwards.

Pottery is the manufacture of ceramic art. One of the most ancient arts that have been recorded with archaeological finds that characterize the culture of each season.
Wet clay takes the desired form from human hands and dried to obtain a solid form. Later will be baked in a special oven to increase its mechanical strength.
Because of the ease in creating desired shapes such as pots and figurines, but also the strength of ceramics in time, the pottery is the art / technology for which there are very old archaeological findings.
Modern traditional pottery is the end of the long history of Greek pottery. With origins in the Byzantine period and even earlier and new directions which meet the habits and needs of an era with particularly difficult economic and social conditions, formed its own morphological and stylistic features, as simply utilitarian shapes, simple decor and design.

How Technology is Helping Endangered Species Prevent Their Own Extinction
By Cassie L. Damewood
For some time now, human beings have been obsessed with saving each and every endangered species. Animals have been tagged, monitored, and secluded to ensure they don't go the way of the dodo, which itself was allegedly last spotted in 1681.
While many of these efforts have been valiant and even somewhat successful, one new tool from four Royal College of Art and Imperial College London postgraduates goes way beyond conventional wildlife preservation methods. Instead of relying on isolating endangered species, this tool notifies animals of impending human risks using high-tech bio-logging tags, ideally giving them ample time to escape the looming danger.
Humpback whales and collared peccaries (small mammals native to Central and South America) are the two species Duncan Carter, Mick Geerits, Arthur Gouillart, and Eirini Malliaraki intend to protect with their bio-logging tags. Instead of relying solely on passive observation, animals could use the tags to salvage and alter their own habitats after being alerted of impending danger.
The group stated in one interview: "It is generally understood that the resilience of ecosystems is reliant upon its biodiversity. Currently a lot of conservation efforts approach nature as a static system that we shouldn't interfere with. However, the extinction phenomenon we are witnessing has its own momentum, and just mitigating our impact won't suffice."
Humpback Whale Device
The endangered humpback transports several sources of nourishment to the surface of the ocean, thereby sustaining million of microbial lifeforms. This new apparatus would be fastened to the whale using suction cups (the same way existing data-logging tags are attached to them). However, this tool has an underwater speaker incorporated into it to dynamically communicate with the whale by way of noise prompts. Different sounds tell the whale when ships are nearby, persuading the animal to relocate to more secure waters and build new homes away from major shipping paths.
Collared Peccary Apparatus
Collared peccaries are little pig-like animals that deforested areas depend on to spread seeds for regrowth. Their new tags, which themselves are attached to a pain-free collar, start vibrating whenever humans approach. In the center of the bio-tag is a chip that powers an integrated computer-vision algorithm. The warning system encourages the peccaries to seek out open space and create safer habitats devoid of poachers and farms.
The scholars designed the tags as an alternative to the conservation efforts that are currently prevailing — most of which are passive and fail to promote a hands-on approach to wildlife preservation. Although their new concepts are still being tested for effectiveness and safety, the group is hopeful. A spokesperson for them commented: "We aimed to redefine human-animal interaction by designing for the animal and ecosystem, as opposed to using a human-centered design process that has become the standard in design."
"We chose to design for these animals because they are ecosystem engineers," said Gouillart. "Like humans, they engineer their environment, but not only for their own benefit, they also bring food and shelter to other species when doing so."

Notes from the IAPP Europe Managing Director, April 8, 2016

Greetings from Washington, DC!
This week, our IAPP Europe Data Protection Digest is led by Jennifer Baker, seasoned Brussels-based EU policy correspondent reporting on technology, politics and legislation, www.brusselsgeek.eu. She traveled this week here to the Global Privacy Summit as a speaker and had some thoughts on the event:
For my first trip to the Global Privacy Summit I was curious to find out what the view of Europe's new data protection regime is from the other side of the Atlantic. I am used to IAPP members at European events obsessing over the GDPR, but wasn't convinced I would hear the same on the other side of the pond.
With the panel on the GDPR packed out and standing room only for many EU sessions, it seems I need not have worried that our U.S. cousins are taking EU data protection reform lightly.
However, what struck me was a general misunderstanding of what the EU is. The question of why DPAs are criticizing the U.S. intelligence agencies, but not their own national agencies came up time and again and I heard both Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, chairwoman of the Article 29 Working Party, and European Data Protection Supervisor Giovanni Buttarelli, try to explain the differences between EU competencies and national competencies.
I appreciate that this is not straightforward stuff. Many, probably even the vast majority of, EU citizens don't understand the labyrinthine complexities of EU law-making. However I feel that the standard practice of comparing it to U.S. levels of government is holding back comprehension. It seems like a nice analogy, but U.S. states are simply not the same as EU member states. Luckily the IAPP audience is a smart, highly educated one, perfectly able to grasp different legal, cultural and enforcement systems, so, please, let's stop trying to shoehorn the EU structure into a format it doesn't fit.
For my own part, I was asked to clarify more than once the difference between a directive and a regulation, as well as what transposing into national law is all about. For some this may be "Europe 101," but skipping the basics is a mistake. At the very least a refresher might reduce the head-scratching when Americans learn that the European Court of Human Rights is not an EU institution.
Speaking of courts, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruling on the Schrems case and the resulting Privacy Shield dominated much of the EU-related conversation. Despite what negotiators are telling us about cooperation, I heard much mistrust on both sides. No one in the panels I attended – apart from yours truly – actually used the word "hypocrisy," but it was clear that many attendees feel the Court ruling and subsequent fallout may have been disingenuous. And they have a point: While not nearly on the same scale, European countries' intelligence agencies do conduct similar surveillance. No one really disputes that.
It's just, as Falque-Pierrotin pointed out, there's not a lot DPAs can do about it. To that I would add: "Two wrongs don't make a right." During a press conference, Buttarelli urged "member states in the EU to consider how their own intelligence agencies affect human rights."
Restoring trust and good relations is top of everyone's agenda, but I fear that there is a longer way to go than some would admit. Chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission Edith Ramirez and Falque-Pierrotin both acknowledged there had been suggestions that the EU was attempting to export its own data protection values at the expense of the U.S. position. But Falque-Pierrotin reiterated that the point was to protect citizens, not to make life difficult for American corporations. As the head of CNIL, which is currently pushing Google to extend the so-called right to be forgotten worldwide, she would know a thing or two about it.
The one thing that both EU and U.S. attendees seemed to agree on is that stability and consistency would be good. However, we may have to wait awhile. Although the members of the A29WP would not be drawn on the subject, everyone else speculated about what would be included in its opinion on the Privacy Shield due out next week. Dutch DPA Jacob Kohnstamm sounded a note of caution: "Democracy is a higher standard than certainty. It is not our primary role to worry about business." So the uncertainty generated by the Schrems ruling seems unlikely to be wiped away any time soon.
All in all, I was glad to see the U.S. taking Europe seriously, but I left with as many questions as answers. I suspect that come the Data Protection Congress in Brussels in November we will still be talking about GDPR implementation and potentially another Schrems case challenging Privacy Shield.
Groundhog Day anyone?

ESSEX has been awarded a grant of £10.68million grant from Sport England in a bid to get more people active across the county.
The National Lottery cash is part of a three-year plan which aims to tackle the issues preventing nearly 400,000 people in Essex from enjoying the health benefits of an active lifestyle.
Research suggests one in four Essex residents are inactive and carry out less than 30 minutes of physical exercise each week, while people on low incomes are twice as likely to lead sedentary lifestyles.
The successful bid was made by the Essex Local Delivery Pilot (Essex LDP), which is led by the Essex Health and Wellbeing Board, Active Essex, and more than 20 partners including public, community, and voluntary sector organisations.
Basildon has been chosen as one of the initial areas of focus for the pilot as it is an area where there are high levels of inactivity and associated health problems.
Andy Barnes, chairman of the communities committee at Basildon Council, said: "We are working closely with our local communities and partners to bring about change for our residents.
Anna Pettican, senior occupational therapist and projects manager at Sport for Confidence – an organisation which has brought health and sport sectors together to tackle inequalities – added: "Working in new ways and overcoming barriers and challenges that restrict participation in sport and physical activity can be exhausting, but the outcomes can be life changing for our participants.
"We're delighted to be a part of the Local Delivery Pilot.
The organisation was widely praised last year during a visit from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Previous approaches to tackling inactivity have had mixed results and have not been sustainable, so the Essex plan will hope to do things a little differently.
Bosses hope to recruit people who are enthusiastic about creating new activities in their areas, such as coastal path walks and new walking and cycling routes.
There will be voluntary and paid roles available.
