Q: BeanCreationException when trying to import application context from another project So I am trying to learn jsf, maven, spring, and hibernate. I recently got a single web project to take data from the ui, pass it to the managed bean, domain object, and save to the db. But now I want to architect things better and have two separate projects. One for my ui and managed bean (which is my webapp project). And the other for my domain and business logic (which is a normal java project). I have two application-context files (web-applicationContext.xml, and core-applicationContext.xml). My web-applicationContext gets pulled during server startup, and I am trying to import the core-applicationContext to my web. But when I start my server and try to hit the site I get this...
    org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'customerManagedBean' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/web-applicationContext.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'customerServiceBean' while setting bean property 'customerService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'customerServiceBean' is defined

A: I suppose the core-applicationContext.xml isn't imported because the import statement is wrong. Try
<import resource="classpath:/resources/core-applicationContext.xml" />

or
<import resource="classpath:core-applicationContext.xml" />

I'm not sure how your project is organized. See Composing XML-based configuration metadata for reference.
Also, if you place a breakpoint in one of the beans declared in core-applicationContext.xml you'll see whether Spring instantiates them or not.

Music Music Videos News Vanessa Carlton Watch
Vanessa Carlton Drops Psychedelic Video for "Break To Save"
April 12, 2021 April 25, 2021 Hidden Jams	0 Comments	Back To Life, Break To Save, Deluxe, Demos, Die Dinosaur, Future Pain, I Can't Stay The Same, I Know You Don't Mean It, Love Is An Art, Miner's Canary, Music Video, New Song, Salesman, The Only Way To Love, Vanessa Carlton 13 min read
Last month, a full year after first releasing Love Is An Art, Vanessa Carlton updated the album with a deluxe edition. In addition to the original 11 songs, the new release also includes the previously unheard song "Break To Save" and two demos. Today, "Break To Save" now gets the video treatment.
"Break To Save" has a lot of personality from its very beginning. It has a funky groove and warm sound as Vanessa sings about having the power to leave someone and redefine herself. It's an empowering song wrapped up in a mellifluously winding melody. This is actually an incredible song, and it's a surprise it didn't make it onto the original release of Love Is An Art. It's an instant standout on the album and in Vanessa's full back catalogue.
In a statement, Vanessa described the meaning behind the song:
"Break to Save" is about being brave enough to face the pain that will allow you to grow. It's about that moment when you realize you can't change a parent or friend or lover, and as hard as it may be, you must break ties in order to save yourself, or to set a boundary that you need.
The new music video plays like a psychedelic collage from decades ago. It opens with the silhouettes of three people, a starry galaxy behind them as colors flash. Then it cuts to old footage of people on the beach before turning our attention to horses. Several horses kick and bite as they prance in the shallow ocean waves. Eventually, it all comes together as human silhouettes and running horses merge into one visual. It's a mesmerizing and atmospheric music video. It was directed by Patrick McPherson.
Watch the psychedelic music video for "Break To Save" below:
"Break To Save" appears on the updated version of Love Is An Art. You can stream or buy the deluxe re-release of Love Is An Art from all the major music providers here. It also includes the demos for "I Can't Stay The Same" and "I Know You Don't Mean It."
Love Is An Art
Love Is An Art came first out in March 2020. It includes Vanessa's singles "Future Pain," "The Only Way To Love," "Miner's Canary," "Die, Dinosaur," and "Back To Life," plus studio versions of songs she'd previously performed live: "Love Is An Art," "I Know You Don't Mean It," and "Salesman." The album also includes a track called "Patience," which Vanessa had first previewed back in 2012.

From Journalist to Drupalist: José Sánchez de la Peña
Acquia looks forward to sharing a series of stories from a valuable audience: Drupalists. We are observing massive progress as more people harness the power of Drupal to create rich digital experiences, changing businesses, communities and lives. We could not be more proud of your work, and we thank you for continuing to share it with us.
Our most recent Drupal Story centers on José Sánchez de la Peña, who, in the fall of 2016, left a successful career as a journalist at a leading newspaper in Mexico to become a freelance web developer.
Born in Chicago, Sánchez de la Peña moved with his family to Mexico in 1968, where he continues to live today. After graduating with a degree in field biology, he became a journalist for Mexico's main newspaper, reporting on the environment and technology, eventually becoming part of the local and financial news desks.
He describes his path to web development as threaded with family: "Well, my family owns a small non-profit mountain lodging facility, and I knew at the time we needed a web page. Since we couldn't afford one — really, I asked for quotes and one was a year of my wages — I learned HTML. That first, tiny website (renacerdelasierra.com) quickly become several. Then I found CMSs, and with it my first paid website, to which I still give maintenance and enhancements, cbjramirez.com."
That was in 1999. In 2007, he discovered Drupal, opened an account, and began creating projects for friends and family. He describes himself as "essentially a non-coder, yet extremely inquisitive, though."
Inquisitive and ingenuous, Sánchez de la Peña eventually created a news publishing web page for a group of publishing entrepreneurs from Mexico's northeast region. He wrote, "This project, mobilnews.mx, was created to help editors with ease of story creation (solved it with paragraphs), hierarchization (taxonomy is my friend here); and list making (views, of course). I have two expertises: as a former journalist I know what an editor needs, and as a Drupalist, I know how to build it."
When asked what he wished he had known when launching his website, he exclaimed, "Drush and Composer, hands down!" Today, Composer is the functionality that most helps him in his day-to-day work when updating his sites.
As to what excites him the most about the future of technology and the digital experience space, he said that while it is always hard to tell the future, he has his eyes set on customer experience. Sánchez de la Peña continued, "I see AI assistants helping out customers, especially in online stores with tens of thousands of products, and probably, this will eventually lead to some sort of hyperpersonalization."

My husband is a painting contractor. Whenever I watch him work I am witness to an experienced craftsman. He is so nimble so skilled he can take what was once old, and make it seem brand new. I think about the people who will live in these spaces, and how his careful work will shape their house into the home they imagined. The home, that will hold their family. Then without hardly any notice he packs up his brushes and tools, his drops, and his lights into tidy bundles and is gone leaving something of value behind.
There are so many ways to make an impact in this life. For better or for worse our actions have the capacity to change the world and each other. And maybe, it's the changing seasons from winter to spring but I am thinking deeply about renewal and transformation. The world will always be in a state of flux and so we will always be changing too. How are we supposed to manage this? If change is inevitable what is steady and true in this life? What can we count on?
We can count on ourselves and each other. We can count on the rhythmic patterns that trace a path through our lives. I am learning to appreciate the inherent beauty in this truth. Understanding that there will always be a wavy path, there will be challenges and celebrations; boredom and excitement; fear and safety and so it goes. Knowing this, helps to frame a better perspective of my weight loss journey.
There is no one solution. There is no rigid rule. There is only mindful presence and a promise to honor your "why" for improving your health. The thing of value, the thing you are becoming more skilled at, the thing that you are working on is yourself. Happy Spring.

This solar-powered home in Brazil blends into its environment with a massive green roof and an open-air ground floor
Written by Nicole Jewell
News Clean Energy Solar
When it comes to modern homes, most architects focus on creating a soothing harmony between the indoors and outdoors, meaning lots of natural light, floor-to-ceiling windows, natural vegetation and so on. But Brazilian firm Reinach Mendonça Arquitetos Associados has gone one step further by completely eliminating exterior walls. Located São Paulo, the solar-powered RFC Residence features an open-air ground floor that leads out to a connecting courtyard, blurring the lines between nature and the man-made.

Spanning more than 6,500 square feet, the RFC Residence was built for a family of four with a strong passion for cooking. They asked the architects to design an open-plan layout that would place the kitchen at the heart of the living area to be not only a functional space for preparing meals but a spacious social area as well.

Topped with a green roof that shares space with a solar array, the home was built with a number of passive and active design measures. The rectangular volume is made up of two levels: an open-air ground floor and an upper floor clad in exposed brick with a long interior hallway lined in glass panels. The upper level houses the master bedroom and the kids' bedrooms.
The social spaces are all located on the first floor, which contains a living room, entertainment area, dining room and a large chef's kitchen in the middle. Wrapped around a central courtyard, these wall-less living spaces are all connected, creating a seamless connection between the rooms as well as the interior and the exterior. Native vegetation was used in the landscaping to create a lush outdoor area.
The main living areas all maintain a nice, cool temperature year-round thanks to natural air circulation. Additionally, the second level was built with overhangs that shade the ground floor, creating a more comfortable space for residents to take in the fresh air. There is also a small swimming pool as well as a wooden sauna and dressing room in the backyard.

Q: Using a SELECT statement with a searched CASE expression I created a table scores as follows.
student_id course score
1 math 90
1 cs 70
2 math 60
2 cs 50

I want to categorise all scores of a student by a scale:
>60 pass
<60 fail
=60 bottomline

Then, I wrote a select statement with a case expression as
select student_id, course, score =
(case score
     when score > 60
     then 'pass'
     when score < 60
     then 'fail'
     else 'bottomline'
end) as 'result'
from scores
order by student_id

However, the result set looks like below, and the result column did not show categories as pass,
fail, or bottomline according to the scale. Instead, all the result values are 0.
student_id course result
1 math 0
1 cs 0
2 math 0
2 cs 0

Where was I wrong with the select statement that caused all the result values to 0? I am using a MySQL database server.

A: why score = ... ?
just:
select student_id, course, score,
(case score
     when score > 60
     then 'pass'
     when score < 60
     then 'fail'
     else 'bottomline'
end) as 'result'
from scores
order by student_id

A: select student_id, course, score,
   case                        --<-- you dont need to mention column name here
     when score < 60  then 'fail'
     when score = 60  then  'bottomline'
     when score > 60  then 'pass'
   end as 'result'
from scores
order by student_id

Sql Fiddle

A: Try like this
SLELECT student_id, course,Score
   CASE
     when score < 60  then 'fail'
     when score > 60  then 'pass'
   Else 'bottomline'
   END 'result'
FROM scores
ORDER BY student_id

A: Try This
Create table scores (student_id int,course VARCHAR(100),score int);
Insert into scores values(1,'math',90);
Insert into scores values(1,'cs',70);
Insert into scores values(2,'math',60);
Insert into scores values(2,'cs',50);

Select student_id, course,score,
(case
     when score > 60
     then 'pass'
     when score < 60
     then 'fail'
     else 'bottomline'
end) as 'result'
from scores
order by student_id;

Did you party like it was 1999 this weekend, living out Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" on Friday and the Bay City Rollers "Saturday Night" to follow it up? Well now it's Sunday and you're paying for the fun you had. One look in the mirror says things won't improve much before Monday and you have a big meeting coming up.
Now, the ideal cure for getting rid of a party hangover is to not get one in the first place, but since it's already too late for that, just remember that tip next time. Now, let's get you looking your best.
You likely don't feel like getting up to exercise after having too much fun this weekend. You have a headache, your stomach is in knots and you feel exhausted. However, our bodies flush toxins in four ways: through breathing, sweating, or through the liver or kidneys.
Exercise gets you breathing and sweating and moving the bad stuff you took in over the weekend out of your body. Start slow and gentle with a walk, easy run or yoga class and increase the intensity as you feel comfortable.
Getting moving also provides your brain with a rush of endorphins, the hormone that makes you feel better, to help overcome the sluggishness you feel now.
While you exercise, you can start the second phase of your weekend remedy — hydration. Alcohol is a diuretic. It pulls water out of your system and makes it difficult to reabsorb liquid back in. The result is not enough water in your system for your body to function normally.
You will need to replace the fluid you lost during your night out to restore balance to your body and help it function better. Choose water, juice, sports drinks and milk for your rehydration plan and avoid caffeine, also a diuretic, which can make matters worse.
Your body might be craving that double bacon cheeseburger and plenty of home remedies call for loading up on greasy foods. But eating junk food at this stage will only make you feel worse, not better, for Monday morning.
Fat, grease, salt — these lead to bloating, gas and digestion problems. You want to feel and look your best on Monday morning. You don't want to feel uncomfortable in your clothes or have to excuse yourself to the restroom during your meeting.
Choose healthy alternatives to your favorite greasy foods. Turkey burgers, baked potatoes and fruits packed with antioxidants make for a better choice.
Sleep is the best medicine for what ails you right now. Your body needs time to rest, repair and relax before the demands of the work week begin. Get to bed early to maximize the benefit of this hangover cure.
You've worked out and put some fluids back in your body. Now it's time to take care of your skin. Alcohol works as a vasodilator, causing the blood vessels in your face to widen and bring more blood to your face resulting in redness, puffiness and swelling.
A facial will renew and restore your skin so you look your best. The facial treatment will also leave you skin looking smoother, cleaner and more healthy so people will think you spent the weekend at a spa retreat rather than partying hard.
While of course the best cure for a hangover is to not get one in the first place, sometimes we make decisions that we regret come Monday morning. These five steps can help erase the telltale signs of a rough weekend and get you refreshed for the work week.
Nicole prescribes to the motto "work hard, play hard," and loves finding anything that will help her be able to do both.

Glenfiddich Excellence 26 Year Old whisky is available in selected markets.
Begin the journey by learning about the wood in which the whisky is matured.
Discover the process involved in making a cask at the family run Kelvin Cooperage.
After crossing the Atlantic, the casks are inspected by our team of onsite coopers to ensure they are ready to be filled with Glenfiddich spirit.
Our Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, discusses the profile of Glenfiddich Excellence whisky, explaining the significance of ex-bourbon casks in the flavour.
Soft and delicate with a beautiful floral character. Spring blossom, violets, sweet peas and a subtle green leafiness.
Vibrant with a compelling balance of dry tannin and soft brown sugar vanilla sweetness. A deep oak flavour gradually builds, with hints of spice and liquorice shining through.
Each hand-made cask spends 26 years breathing in pure Highland air through the uniquely porous grain of 70 year old American "Quercus Alba" oak. Renowned for its exceptional quality, the wood softens the spirit and imparts layers of subtle spice and sweet vanilla flavours that grow more complex over time.
After their staves are assembled, each cask is toasted over an open fire. Toasting enables the vanillins and the tannins in the wood to be released, giving the contents flavour and colour. A light toasting imparts subtle flavours while a heavily toasted cask delivers strong and powerful flavours, as well as a darker colour single malt.


There is no real problem with encouraging people to recite things like the six syllable mantra or Arapacana since they are from sūtra and so do not require any special transmission.
However, it is more useful for such beginners to recite the Heart Sūtra.
Indeed, but practicing a (any) mantra like your life depends on it is exactly what is needed in the case of every mantra. You are overlooking the pedagogical aspect of my post in order to focus on procedural issues (irrelevancies in the case of tenma, who cannot focus on one thing for more than a millisecond).
Now instead of focusing on the mantra mentioned, they will start to ask a string of useless questions regarding the Heart Sutra mantra and any chance of them applying themselves properly to a practice will vanish up their cavity once again.
Well, the real issue here is not whether to recite mantras, or not, but whether they have a teacher or not.
So, advice here is that there may be the need for either retreat or permission of your teacher before giving someone a lung of a mantra which is not sutric, and one Lama's recommendation of at least 100,000 repetitions.
I wonder what would happen if the clear stipulation was that you must have signs of attaining the function of any mantra before you are allowed to give to others.
And that, of course, brings us full circle back to having a teacher who can tell you when you have.
Many sadhanas indicate the signs, responsible and genuine practitioners should be able to determine for themselves what they are experiencing etc.
Im not saying that one shouldnt consult their teacher but I think we have a tendency to over-rely on our teachers when it comes to our practice and responsibility for upholding the transmission of the dharma.
If a practitioner receives empowerment, does the practice, and has signs of genuine experience, is asked to give the transmission, then they shouldnt be able to make the decision on whether or not to do so based upon their own relationship with the individual requesting and their willingness to take on the responsibility.
So, are you saying that there is no need to get the permission the give empowerments from the master that actually gave you the empowerment? You can just decide for yourself when you are ready?
It depends on circumstances. When sentient beings ask for teachings, a bodhisattva gives them. The exception would be if one's own teacher was easily accessible.
I might go along with that, but I am not sure that is what Joesph means. Anyway, I thought there was a lot of special teachings needed for giving other people transmissions?
Depends on the teaching. But anyone who has been a chöpön, knows everything they need to know to give empowerments. Empowerments, in essence, are just ritual manuals.
"When sentient beings ask for teachings, a bodhisattva gives them."
Yes, but wouldn't you also say depending on whether the Teacher thinks the student(s) asking are ready for and capable of holding those teachings. One doesn't give a loaded gun to a toddler. In some cases it may be compassionate not to give certain, particular teachings to certain sentient beings.
A teacher has to judge what a student is ready to receive. For this reason we default to the gradual path.
If an empowerment was just a ritual performed well, what would be the point of receiving it?
That's not what I said. I put quite a few qualifiers in there.
That's actually a big part of what I meant.
If one is a bodhisattva with the capacity to give certain teachings and transmissions and the circumstances are appropriate, they are given.
I'd go along with that if you received the sadhana and description of the signs etc from a qualified teacher, but not if you just found a sadhana and explanation on, say, Scribd, and persuaded yourself you were qualified to pass it on.
Proper transmission is absolutely essential.
what makes it a 'lung' ?
If one just goes to a service and hears the mantras, is it a lung?
Intention on both sides makes it a lung. Just hearing a mantra doesn't cut it.
It gives one permission to practice a specific path, that is the point of it. Basically, empowerments are a means of awakening. But if one does not awaken during the empowerment, than one has the sadhana method.

What are the odds of seeing an all-white penguin?
One in a colony of millions—which is why my encounter with this pale Gentoo Penguin on South Georgia Island last month was nothing short of thrilling.
But let's start at the beginning. I've been roving around the Southern Hemisphere since the start of the new year as an expedition ornithologist on the M/V Endeavour. My post lasts for another two weeks and has taken me to wildlife hotspots like the Falklands and the East and West Peninsula. The polar tour also stops at South Georgia Island, which is largely undeveloped and located in the stormy Atlantic Ocean between Argentina and Antarctica.
South Georgia Island has a place in history because of Ernest Shackleton's heroic crossing in 1916 to reach civilization and save his crew; today, however, it's overrun with wild penguins. Half a million pairs of King Penguins breed on the island between October and March, along with thousands of Macaronis, Chinstraps, and Gentoos. It takes several days at sea to reach South Georgia—there's no airport or overnight accomodations—yet it's worth it for the spectacle that unfolds along its grassy shores.
That brings me back to my extremely lucky encounter with the bird pictured above. Gentoo Penguins typically wear a classic black tuxedo with white earmuffs and a red beak, so this one immediately stood out as it waddled up the crowded beach. It barely had any patterning, and its beak was redder than those around it. It's hard to know if the bird is albino or leucistic or just a mutation, but it definitely has some sort of pigment problem.
When it comes to long-term survival, birds with irregular plumage may have a real disadvantage. The black and white body of most penguins is a form of marine camouflage called "countershading," which helps them blend into the ocean. A pure white bird could have a harder time sneaking up on its prey underwater—or hiding from predators who might enjoy penguin, for that matter.
This particular Gentoo appeared to be in good health. The others seemed to regard it without stigma, letting it mingle like any other colony member.
In more than a dozen Antarctic trips, I've seen a few odd-looking penguins including an all-black Adélie Penguin and a couple of blond Chinstraps, but this was my first entirely white one. It was like seeing a ghost.

You have fourteen deaths, divorce, four blindings, separated siblings, a baking accident, spiritual death, missing fathers and the destruction of an entire Fairyland. It exceeds the total named deaths in "Titus Andronicus" hands included. Granted four are reborn (in the non-religious sense) but James Lapine, Tony award writer of "Into the Woods" reeks havoc in those woods just beyond the Fairytale Kingdom. While we may not be alone, it at first appears that someone is attempting to make it so. But appearances deceive. The outcome is a highly realistic presentation of life's difficult struggles, counterbalanced by tempered affirmations. Little Red Riding Hood's learning curve is steep indeed: nice is different than good.
The more your are left undefined.
How do you ignore . . .
all the wondering what even worse is still in store.
The production by The Footlight Club in Jamaica Plain is both balanced and highly rewarding. Balanced in the sense of minimal trade offs, resulting in quality acting and talented singing. I shy away from reviews fulfilling an obligation to mention the entire cast. Under the direction of Bill Doscher, everyone deserves more than a mention: it is an ensemble accomplishment. From Karon Lewis's Witch to Darrick Jackson's Milky White (mooooo was his line) there are accolades. Alanna Woonteiler was as nasty and obnoxious a Red Riding Hood as I have seen. It was a joy to watch her changing facial expressions in response to the on stage actions reinforcing her nastiness. Dan Walsh should consider early retirement from his day job. As the wolf he all but mauls Red during his rendition of "Hello, Little Girl" a song that is the weakest of the score. He returns later as Cinderella's Prince, oozing charm and almost up chucking his lunch at the sight of the blood soaked slipper. "Agony" sung by Mr. Walsh and Derek Clark (Rapunzel's Prince) introduces the stereotypical prince: attend to me and my needs, alone. Carly Johanson has an enchanting voice and you can hear within it her sincere wish not just to attend the Festival but to retain her simple bearings. She resigns herself to the role of Princess with a renounced grimace rather than excessive sighing. She appears so fragile. To console Red Riding Hood, she joins in "No One is Alone" with the "survivors". (Can you believe that this song was not in the original production?) Zachary Hardy (Jack) is either naive, innocent and "touched" or he is an accomplished actor. I secretly believe he still does not know how much he was to obtain for the cow. It was delightful watching him try to figure it out. I restrained myself and did not yell out, "Jack: not less than five pounds!, dolt"
The rapport between Maria Wardell and Davis DeCosta as the Baker's Wife and the Baker was fetching. Their duets with ". . . the curse is on my house . . ." and "It Takes Two" conveyed the struggling couple starting with the male's need for exhibiting his authority, withering away not his masculinity but his rigidity; leading to cooperation.
Each time I heard Ms. Lewis's "Stay With Me" I believed the Witch, having had her breakdown, would soften and permit Rapunzel a shared life. But no off to some desert. The final comment on the cast is for Mr. DeCosta's Baker. There was never a second the Baker seemed sure of his actions: confused by the world, offering help where needed, controlling his wants, testing his ethics. DeCosta sought help looking side to side, frightened over the consequences of the Baker's actions. This alters as he sings "No More": a calm descends and the Baker's story finishes with "No One is Alone"
The audience left Eliot Hall humming some of Sondheim's best songs and talking about the dark nature as well as the happy ending. Take the time (it was sold out on Friday, February 11th) make reservations for one of their remaining shows. You will see a production that ranks near the top of list. I have already taken my advice and went back to see it a second time.

A to Z Map of London, 1936
Phyllis Pearsall's famous 1936 map of London is available again. The company she founded, A to Z Maps, has published a fascimile reproduction of her map, coloured to simulate aging (the original was black ink on white paper, but would not look that way now after 73 years). They've also produced an online version of a portion of that map that is decidedly retro: a sepia-toned paper map with all the controls you'd expect from an online map. Via Mapperz.

What are Chocolate Diamond Rings?
RingsCarl Jones January 27, 2017
Chocolate diamond rings have nothing to do with chocolate in case you were wondering. They are brown colored diamonds and a lower cost alternative to white diamonds. Since they are color treated, sellers can often get away with using lower quality diamonds.
In general, chocolate diamond rings have less sparkle and brilliance. In the 1980s, marketing efforts in the United States and Australia were made to promote certain brown diamonds as higher quality than white diamonds.
Where do Chocolate Diamonds Come From?
In 1986, the Argyle diamond mine was developed where a vast majority of brown diamonds were mined. This mine was responsible for ⅓ of all natural diamond production in the world. 80% of those diamonds were brown diamonds. Prior to that, brown diamonds were considered relatively worthless and used mostly for industrial purposes since diamonds are the hardest matter in the world.
Where did the term chocolate diamond come from?
In 2000, Le Vian Corporation registered the Chocolate Diamond as a registered trademark. They began as a new product in their range of diamonds. Although most brown diamonds are considered inferior to white diamonds, the company claimed that less than 5% of all the brown diamonds are actually more rare and better quality than white diamonds.
Eddie LeVian personally loved dark chocolate and coined the term Chocolate Diamond. Le Vian's chocolate diamond comes from Australia's Argyle diamond mine where a majority of the world's brown diamonds are produced. Brown diamonds can also be found in Borneo, Brazil, and Central Africa to a lesser extent.
How do chocolate diamonds compare in quality?
Within the spectrum of diamonds, brown chocolate diamonds are the lowest quality. Fancy diamonds are actually yellow, pink, red, and blue. Red and blue diamonds are the rarest of the fancy diamonds.
Notably, chocolate diamonds are classified lower quality within the spectrum because of more inclusions than other colored diamonds. Inclusions are imperfections, blemishes, or also known as birthmarks found in diamonds, which lessens a gem's clarity and quality.
Why do people buy chocolate diamond rings?
Due to the lower price point, chocolate diamonds are an alternative that allow customers to add customizations to a ring on a fixed budget. It also adds color variety beyond the traditional spectrum of fancy diamonds, and cognac diamonds once popular in the 1970s.
Chocolate diamond rings also increase accessibility for more couples to become engaged with a diamond promise who otherwise may not be able to afford this long standing tradition.
The 5 Second Summary
Chocolate diamonds are brown diamonds that Le Vian corporation coined with a more attractive name to create greater appeal to consumers. Before the 1980s, brown diamonds were mainly used for industrial purposes. They were not sold to retailers as a luxury jewellery product until 1986 with the Argyle diamond mine's mass production.
Most brown diamonds are inferior to natural diamonds of other colors. The lower price point gives more people the opportunity to own a diamond. This obviously erodes the value of brown diamonds as what is scarce is deemed more valuable than abundant supply .

Jeanne Shea
As a sociocultural anthropologist who specializes in global health, social gerontology, and medical and psychological anthropology, Prof. Jeanne Shea's research interests revolve around health and healing, human development and aging, lifecycle and generational issues, marital and family relationships, caregiving in family and community context, and economic development and social change. In her research, she examines the influences of culture on experiences of health, illness, healing, caregiving, and health care. She is fascinated by cultural and generational differences in experiences of the lifecycle, in the different kinds of health concerns and social issues that mark lifecourse transitions, and in how people view and approach the challenges and opportunities posed by aging societies.
Prof. Shea's life history began with a childhood in a small town in rural Vermont. A descendent of French Canadian, Irish, and British immigrants with a family oral history of Native American ancestry on both sides, she became intrigued with learning more about the languages and cultures of the world. Dartmouth College's emphasis on immersive foreign language instruction and study abroad attracted her attention, and she graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Summa cum Laude in 1989, with a B.A. in Asian Studies with a specialization in Chinese Language and Literature and a minor concentration in English Literature. In her later college years, she discovered Anthropology and wrote a senior honors thesis in both Anthropology and Asian Studies. After a Fulbright research award to study Chinese culture and history in China, she went on to a graduate program in Anthropology at Harvard University. At Harvard, she studied with renowned China anthropologists James L. Watson, Arthur Kleinman, and Rubie S. Watson and specialized in Social Anthropology and Medical Anthropology. There she earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology in 1994 and 1998.
Prof. Shea has been a faculty member at the University of Vermont (UVM) since 1998. At UVM, Prof. Shea works with a wide variety of departments and programs, including the Anthropology Department, the Global and Regional Studies Program, the Asian Studies Program, the Canadian Studies Program, the Critical Race and Ethnicity Studies Program, the Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Program, the Center for the Study of the Aging, and the Graduate College. Prof. Shea developed an undergraduate specialization in the Anthropology of Global Health at UVM and leads advising for students pursuing that focus. She is also highly active in cross-college efforts to develop and coordinate the interdisciplinary curriculum in the study of health at the university.
Using a mixed-methods approach, Prof. Shea has conducted ethnographic fieldwork at sites in China, Canada, and the United States. Between 1986 and the present, she has spent many years living, studying, and doing research in the People's Republic of China. Her research in China has included fieldwork on menopause and aging among Chinese women living in Beijing and ethnographic research on spousal caregiving in later life and senior community volunteers supporting aging in place in Shanghai, among other topics. Her research in Canada has focused on issues of cultural hybridity among Chinese immigrants in Montreal. Her research in the U.S. has focused on community-based participatory research projects with colleagues and students focused on topics related to health and/or aging.
Following a Fulbright Senior Scholar Research Award in China, Professor Jeanne Shea appeared on UVM's Across the Fence Extension, Cultivating Healthy Communities, talking about her research on aging and caregiving in China.

Wando High School Reviews
Being at an overcrowded school, may sound bad to some people but over the years of being there I've meet a lot of amazing people . The atmosphere of Wando is really nice it's like everybody is involved into the school spirit some way. What I like about Wando is the fact that they have so many clubs that could fit any body interest and if there's not a club that fit somebody interests then they can create a new club . Somethings I could change about Wando is having the students voices being heard by the teachers and administrators. What I mean by that is that I want the adults to hear our opinions and suggestions and take it upon consideration . Being at Wando has teach me a lot even though it's a overcrowded school you'll learn a lot .!
Start Your Review of Wando High School
It's a very big school, my senior class has almost 1,000 students in it. It gets me ready for the big college I'm going to. There's so many different types of teachers that you will experience learning from. There's some that can be very difficult to learn from, sometimes you need to learn on your own. At Wando there's so many great opportunities, there's warm and welcoming clubs and sports teams. Their sports teams are the best in the state for almost all of them. There's classes that you didn't even think you can take in highschool, only in college. I'm taking classes that could only be offered in college. But you can get college credit for it, so you can save money and graduate college early. There's such a diversity in students at the school. There's friends for anyone! It's overall the best school I've been to in my whole life. I recommend it for anyone. It's truly intimidating at first because of the size of the school.
Overall, Wando is a very good school. Wando has a myriad of academic and extracurricular programs. The teachers and staff are really helpful and make sure you as the student has the best experience while attending Wando. The students are very engaged in school-wide activities, from cheering on football games to getting together to plan homecoming and prom. The only downside of the school is the size of the entire student body. All 4 classes (Freshmen to Senior) totals to almost 4,000 students, not including the staff, so the school is rather crowded. The upside to having a large student body is that you get to meet a lot of new people from different backgrounds. on the other hand, while you do meet people from different backgrounds, there is a huge lack of diversity at Wando. As an African American girl, I feel that I stand out because of how much the school is lacking in POC, not just African Americans, but Latinos, Asians, Middle Eastern, etc.

Kielská smlouva byla mírovou smlouvou mezi Švédskem, jako zástupcem Šesté protinapoleonské koalice, a Dánskem, které stálo na poražené straně v napoleonských válkách. K podpisu došlo 14. ledna 1814 v Kielu.

Obsah smlouvy
Dánsko touto smlouvou postoupilo Švédsku Norsko. Naopak Švédsko se vzdávalo svých posledních území v Pomořansku na Rujaně, které následně získalo Prusko. Velká Británie si ponechala strategicky významný ostrov Helgoland v Severním moři. Norská závislá území Grónsko, Island a Faerské ostrovy byly vyjmuty z jeho působnosti a setrvaly v rámci unie přidružené k Dánsku.

Historické souvislosti
Kielská smlouva však nikdy nevstoupila v platnost. Norsko vyhlásilo svou nezávislost, 17. května 1814 přijalo vlastní ústavu (platí v modifikované verzi do současnosti) a zvolilo prince Fredericka Kristiána za svého krále. Po následné krátké roztržce se Švédy Norové souhlasili na konventu v Mossu se vznikem personální unie, kdy si obě země zachovaly vlastní parlament. Norský král Frederick Kristián abdikoval v říjnu 1814 a norský parlament Storting dne 4. listopadu 1814 zvolil za krále Karla XIII., panovníka Švédska. Jeho smrtí 5. února 1818 se završila historie švédské královské dynastie. Novým králem byl zvolen napoleonský maršál a bývalý francouzský ministr války Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte jako Karel XIV. Jan, který založil dynastii vládnoucí ve Švédsku až do současnosti.

What's the difference between theft, burglary and robbery?
Burglary, theft and robbery are very different crimes, and even within each category, there are subtle differences between different types of burglaries, thefts or robberies. That's why South Carolina's legal system has specific laws governing each criminal charge listed below:
Theft - This charge involves taking someone else's property without his or her permission. In general, theft usually involves money or physical objects like a stolen car or merchandise stolen from a store. Theft charges vary according to the value of the stolen items. The state of South Carolina's theft laws divide thefts into three different values:
Burglary - This form of theft involves unlawfully entering a property with the intent of stealing something. You do not have to actually steal to be charged with burglary. You can also be charged with burglary even if you don't completely enter the building you are planning to rob. This includes partially entering a building through a door or window that you intend to rob. South Carolina law splits burglary into three degrees of severity.
Third-degree burglary - A person enters a building without the consent of the owner with the intent to commit a crime such as theft. Such crimes can occur during daytime or nighttime hours.
Second-degree burglary - The accused breaks into a house with the intent to commit a crime.
First-degree burglary - The most serious burglary charge. Usually reserved for particularly violent nighttime cases or cases involving a large number of previous offenses.
Robbery - This form of theft specifically involves taking something from someone by force or threatening to use force. Such use of force can even include instructing a person to open a cash register or bank vault in order to commit a theft. The person giving the instructions does not even have to have a weapon to be charged with robbery. Simply making a verbal threat if the other person does not comply is often enough for someone to be charged with robbery.
What are the penalties for a theft conviction?
The penalties for theft in South Carolina vary depending on the value of the stolen property. "Petit larceny" or petty theft is the term used for the charge of stealing property valued at $2,000 or less. The penalty for petit larceny: up to a $1,000 fine and up to 30 days in prison.
If someone steals property worth more than $2,000, the charge for that crime in South Carolina is "Grand Larceny" or Grand Theft. You can learn more about Grand Larceny below on this page.
What are the penalties for a burglary conviction?
The penalties for the three main burglary categories in South Carolina include:
Third-degree burglary (First Offense) - Punishable by up to 5 years in prison
Third-degree burglary (Second Offense) - Up to 10 years in prison
Second-degree burglary - Up to 15 years in prison
First-degree burglary - 15 years minimum to life in prison
Penalties vary widely depending on the circumstances of the robbery, especially if the robbery was violent or anyone was seriously injured during the incident. An example of the most violent type of burglaries can include home invasions.
What are the penalties for a robbery conviction?
Like the penalties for burglary, South Carolina robbery penalties vary depending on the degree of violence involved in the crime. The penalties include:
Attempted robbery - Up to 20 years in prison
Armed robbery - Mandatory minimum of 10 years to 30 years in prison
What other types of burglary/theft cases does attorney Bodman handle?
South Carolina has numerous laws for specific burglary and theft cases. Some of the most common cases we deal with at our law firm include:
Grand Larceny
Many other laws exist for other burglary and theft crimes in South Carolina. Don't try to decipher such complicated laws on your own. You have too much to risk if you are convicted of such a serious charge. Get a former prosecutor on your side.
What is grand larceny in South Carolina?
Grand larceny involves the theft of anything worth more than $2,000. Like other theft charges, grand larceny is a crime that does not involve physical violence or the threat of violence to another person. All grand larceny charges are classified as felonies. South Carolina divides grand larceny charges into two categories:
Theft of property valued more than $2,000 but less than $10,000 - Fines vary, up to 5 years in prison.
Theft of property valued more than $10,000 - Fines vary, up to 10 years in prison.

Will I go to jail for shoplifting in South Carolina?
Serving time in jail is a real possibility if you are convicted of shoplifting in South Carolina. You can be charged with shoplifting if you steal merchandise from a store. Other reasons why you might be charged with shoplifting include removing price tags or trying to deceive a store owner in some way.
Along with the criminal penalties listed below, a store owner might even file a lawsuit against you to recover damages and other expenses. The penalties for shoplifting in South Carolina include:
Shoplifting merchandise valued $2,000 or less (Misdemeanor) - Up to $1,000 fine and up to 30 days in jail
Shoplifting merchandise valued more than $2,000 and less than $10,000 (Felony) - Up to $1,000 fine and up to 5 years in jail
Shoplifting merchandise valued $10,000 or more (Felony) - Up to 10 years in jail
In some cases, people charged with such crimes are sometimes able to avoid prosecution by enrolling in pretrial intervention programs and diversion programs designed to rehabilitate offenders. Other times, a skilled attorney might be able to negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecutor. Attorney Bodman thoroughly understands all the legal options available to people charged with shoplifting and wants to work with you.

The Preston GUILD Tram Line is part of the Preston City Local Plan 2012 – 2026. This calls for a less polluting and sustainable public transport system to attract trips from cars, reducing congestion and pollution. This is critical as over 100 people a year are killed in Preston by traffic toxic fumes, especially near congested roads. While about 5 people a year are killed in road traffic crashes. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has defined diesel engine emissions as carcinogenic. These also retard the development of children's brains and be a cause of dementia in old people, as well as many cardio-vascular diseases.
There is no foreseeable economic benign alternative to replace diesel and petrol engines on the market. Even if emission free engines were available, over half of the microscopic particles come from tyre, tarmac and brake dust and would still exceed safe levels in air. Trams operate without pollution, and using renewable power reduce greenhouse gases and global warming.
Like many cities, Preston is faced with increasing congestion and parking problems in and around the city centre. The growing student numbers and new city centre developments in the retail, business and residential sectors means that these problems will become even worse.
The GUILD tramway will ease these problems by enhancing the use of the Park & Ride sites surrounding the city and reducing the number of journeys made by car. The existing network of disused and underused railways in Preston could provide for some new tramways. In many areas much of the infrastructure is largely in place, minimising disruption and construction work required introduce new lines.
The GUILD Line is the first proposed. It will connect the City Centre through the Deepdale and Brookfield areas to Red Scar Industrial Estate and a Park & Ride stop.
Preston is a noisy city. Traffic has replaced the noise of factories. Individually motor vehicles are quieter but the increase in traffic volume means that noise is about the same or worse. Traffic noise is linked to high blood pressure and other signs of health stress. The WHO sets 55dBA as a safe daytime street noise level. Most busy streets are over 65dBA, twice as loud. Buses and lorries are about 70dBA. The City Class tram to run the GUILD Line has a passing noise level of 55dBA. Many people will not be able to hear trams over the noise of other traffic.
Crossing the road is another challenge when there is a lot of motor traffic. Busy roads create barriers between communities. Trams are proven to attract car trips. An average of 25% of tram passengers in Britain have left a car at home. A household survey of Brookfield and Deepdale, show that 80% of residents support the tram plan, and 80% said they would use the tram at least twice a week. The GUILD Tram will take about 15minutes between Brookfield and Fishergate, faster than driving. Less traffic, makes roads nicer for meeting people, safer to cross and healthier to live near.
This Preston Trampower project is financed through private funds, without public grants or subsidies.
Tram Power has developed a proven, low-cost approach which can reduce carbon emissions by 75% and cut capital and operating costs by half.
Preston Vision is supportive of any proposals which have sustainable integrated transport solutions at their heart. There is clearly potential to better link the people of Preston to their current place of work or potential employment opportunities through provision of appropriate transport connections and in so doing, reduce the level of carbon emissions through reduced car and other vehicle usage.
In addition to the functional and environmental benefits, there will be economic benefits in terms of jobs created through the operation of the transport system and in the manufacture of the vehicles. The installation of a tram system in a city like Preston will also be hugely positive in terms of the city's image and profile".
Having received information regarding the Preston and future Central Lancashire Tram Network, coupled with being a proud Prestonian, I would like to express support for the project both personally and on behalf of Enterprise.
The Preston tramway being planned by the Trampower team is one of the most innovative projects to date. This project will relieve congestion, improve air quality, and regenerate along the corridor and the city of Preston itself.
…this is an important project, as it delivers many environmental and congestion benefits at virtually no cost to local authorities.


Lots of fun and gin was had by all…..in fact, I would probably say that the weekend was sponsored by Gin….!
The original recipe for this cake is from Lucy at Pudding Lane – a very lovely little part of the blogisphere 🙂 Her blog is gorgeous and her food photography puts mine to shame!
I don't drink gin, I don't like it……….or at least, I didn't think I did.
As a conscious decision, I never eat my bakes (aside from trying a tiny slice to make sure it isn't poisonous 😉 ) I usually give them away to friends, family and work colleagues – after all, the more they eat, the less I do! Anyway, I digress…….this cake is amazing and I definitely ate more than Dave…..! Clearly I was wrong about gin! (It happens from time to time)!
