Today I finished reading the selected poems of Vladislav Khodasevich, whose work I hardly knew, in these wonderful translations by Peter Daniels. Not only are the poems themselves a revelation (you can see why Nabokov and Brodsky rated him so highly), but this edition is itself exemplary. Daniels' notes are especially impressive, modestly explaining the judicious and complicated decisions he made while rendering the verse into English. More broadly, we're reminded of how radically Modernism was able to transform the arts while remaining deeply rooted in tradition (in this case most solidly embodied in Pushkin).

At the grave of Khodasevich
Khodasevich is buried in Paris – not with Oscar Wilde and other illustrious figures in the romantic hillside cemetery of Père Lachaise, but in the pleasant but undramatic Boulogne-Billancourt nouveau cimetière on the other side of the city, a flat site beside the Seine but with no view of it. 'Billankursk' was one of the areas inhabited by the Russian émigrés, where many worked in the nearby Renault factory: refugees from the Bolsheviks were trusted to be non-unionised workers. Nina Berberova wrote a cycle of stories Biankurskie prazdniki (Billancourt Holidays) when they lived at 10 bis rue des Quatre Cheminées. A few blocks south of there, another street where she and Khodasevich lived was renamed in 2005 'rue Nina Berberova'. http://solere.blogs.com/boulogne/2005/10/rue_nina_berber.html
I admit I have not yet made pilgrimages to the places where they actually lived, but I have visited the cemetery. The first time I went, I found information on the burial place on the internet, as you do, and then realised when we were in Paris and making the visit that I hadn't brought any of that with me. Never mind, although the lodge at the gate was unstaffed there was a computer screen on which to search for the name of the deceased. I tried every transliterated version of his name I could think of, but nothing came up, so we wandered around inspecting graves on the offchance. In fact when I got home I found that he was in the 2ème division, in front of which I had by chance been photographed.
Back in Paris two years later, I knew only too well that he was in the 2ème, and took with me the picture of his grave from the internet. I tried looking for a precise location on the computer screen but failed again, even with the spelling from the website http://www.landrucimetieres.fr/spip/spip.php?article1682
Le poète postsymboliste russe Vladislav KODASSEVITCH (1886-1939), qui vécut à Berlin, à Prague puis à Paris. Il fut le compagnon de la poétesse Nina Berberova. S'il occupe une place importante dans la littérature russe, il est peu connu en France (2ème division).
At any rate, there he was, with some evidence of grave-tending though only one of several plant pots had anything living in it (a sedum, tough little things as they are). Someone had also left a small porcelain bouquet sitting on the granite slab – not there in the photo on the website, so evidently quite recent. I hadn't thought of the transliteration Hodassevitch, as carved on the slab: it doesn't look to me as if the mason was very confident with the cyrillic though that's perfectly adequate.
I showed the poet his new book – or at least an image of the cover, as it was still at the printers – and I also felt I needed to read the translation of his poem 'Gold'. There's some danger here of self-aggrandising, as the poem tells of how 'after many many years of darkness / a stranger will come and dig my skeleton up'. I wasn't going to do that, but in my three years of translating his poems I could hardly avoid finding myself in the role of the man digging up this poet's buried reputation in the West (he was also 'buried' in the Soviet Union, though he did circulate in samizdat, and in present-day Russia his reputation is secure). When he wrote the poem in early 1917, he was translating Polish literature and coming into his prime as a poet, a vocation he took seriously in a very Russian way. His biographer David Bethea must have felt rather like me when he was writing in the early 1980s:
The poem's title is taken from a passage of Krasinski' s Irydion, which Khodasevich cites, in his Russian translation, as an epigraph. It refers to the traditional gold coin placed on the mouth of the deceased. What will always shine among the poet's remains is this piece of gold, this "solntse maloe" (little sun). Then one day some stranger (a future poet) will stumble upon the gold coin and cherish it. Khodasevich's point appears to be that a small part of him, a psychic core, will never die; it will survive in his verse and continue to be found by later explorers. As Krasinski's gold was Khodasevich's find, so Khodasevich's gold will be a find for someone else. (Khodasevich: his life and art, p. 153).
Next time I'll bring another sedum, and go to the streets where he and Nina lived. No sign of a rue Khodassevitch yet – but maybe I just haven't looked up the right spelling.

Logan Farmer
Still No Mother
[Western Vinyl]
On the spacious and somber Still No Mother, Colorado songwriter Logan Farmer processes and explores climate change anxiety using the framework of the American folk song. The album grew from an initial concept of imagining the songs farmhands will sing when their acreage has dried up or burned, and rising sea levels begin engulfing the coasts—not unlike those sung by Woody Guthrie during the devastation of the Dust Bowl. While much art on this subject focuses on external imagery like glacial melt or wildfires, Farmer instead points his writing inward to examine the human mind's relationship to this impending reality, and the psychological burdens therein. The resulting ambient-folk suite places his earnest croon within a mosaic of orchestral strings, distant piano, and well-placed flutters of electronics, which emerge like artifacts in the rubble of the dusty future his lyrics depict. "The music is intentionally gentle and delicate with shards of piercing dissonance scattered throughout," explains Farmer. "The intention was to capture the quiet moments of contemplation before the storm comes, as we peek through the cracks in the wall to catch a glimpse of the approaching danger, now a growing dot on the horizon."
Still No Mother introduces itself with a minute of looming droning on opener "River Black." A song about Farmer's relationship to songwriting and the album's concept, it was inspired by Paul Kingsnorth's book Savage Gods, which reminded him to appreciate writing as an ancient, elemental artform following a bout with writer's block. "River Black" ends with an expansive string arrangement from collaborator Annie Leeth, as a far off spoken word sample delivers a cryptic message. "Sorrowbirds," a stark barroom ballad about alcoholism and feeling hopeless and untethered, is bolstered by the album's first explicit use of a drum machine. Further into Still No Mother, on "War is Body" Farmer assumes the perspective of a person grappling with maintaining a loving relationship at the end of the 21st century, in a world forever altered by climate damage. "Impossible Now" further deepens the narrative, written through the eyes of a death-like figure observing the comings and goings of this bleak realm's inhabitants.
The latter half of Still No Mother begins with one of the album's most barren and lyrically powerful pieces, "Rome, Through a Fog." "So it is written / I'm afraid of myself / Formless and hidden / I remain someone else / Gonna need more rope / If I'm to tie him up / Gonna need more rope / If I'm to climb the wall," Farmer sings as the desolation dissolves into faraway church bells shrouded in a fog of cassette hiss. "Vessels" spins around a center of quiet anger, which takes turns with the feelings of shame, guilt, and complacency in any mind contemplating the gravity of climate change. "The Seventh Seal" draws its name from the Bergman film (which drew its title from the Bible's Book of Revelations), and pairs Farmer and Strokach's voices to create a deep and memorable melody. Album closer "No One Owes Us Anything," which Farmer says is "about the collective guilt we share for what we've done to the planet, and how we may not deserve anything less than what we've been given," departs on a subtly hopeful tone despite the unapologetic misanthropy of its lyrics. Here at the very end of Still No Mother, a pulsating drum machine gives way to the sounds of seabirds—one of many field recordings that occupy the intimate corners of the album. "All of the field recordings come from a trip my partner and I took to Iceland," Farmer explains. "The last thing you hear on the album is a recording of a glacial lagoon, where massive chunks of a glacier melt into the Atlantic, surrounded by seabirds and other tourists."
The beguiling Still No Mother weaves a shortlist of storytelling influences and devices into a poignant set of dichotomies: organic and inorganic; celestial and earthen; delicate and dissonant. Though Farmer's impressive array of textures and instruments and use of ambience and interstitial collage might suggest otherwise, Still No Mother is folk music at its heart. And if the task of folk musicians is to tell the tales of their day, Logan Farmer succeeds in documenting through song an inner life of a person watching the specter of climate change grow on the horizon.

Los Supporters Gol Sur o Supporters Sur son un grupo ultra del Real Betis Balompié. En 2014, contaba con unos 200 hinchas.

Historia

Los orígenes del grupo se remonta al año 1969, cuando se creó un grupo de animación surgido de la peña "El Chupe", no siendo reconocidos como grupo ultra hasta el 12 de octubre de 1986 durante un encuentro de Liga entre el Real Betis Balompié y el Real Sporting de Gijón. Un grupo de unos 30 jóvenes se colocan en la zona inferior de Gol Sur del Estadio Benito Villamarín.

A partir de la temporada 94/95 Supporters Gol Sur inicia una etapa de crecimiento. El número de simpatizantes se eleva de tal manera que el Gol Sur completa el aforo solo con socios.

En la temporada 01/02 Supporters Gol Sur festejó su XV Aniversario. En el encuentro ante el FC Barcelona los jugadores verdiblancos saltaron al césped con las camisetas del Grupo que conmemoraban dicha efeméride. Durante la campaña 06-07, Supporters Gol Sur celebró su XX Aniversario coincidiendo con el centenario del Real Betis Balompié.

En sus comienzos eran nacionalistas andaluces de extrema izquierda, hasta 1991 cuando del grupo surgió una facción llamada skin betis, los cuales cambiaron la ideología a extrema derecha la cual sigue manteniéndose actualmente.

Supporters Gol Sur cumplió su "XXX" Aniversario en 2016 siendo así uno de los grupos ultras más antiguos de España.

Actualmente la hinchada está muy hermanada con el Frente Atlético, el Frente Onuba y los Ultra Boys.

Violencia
Supporters Gol Sur es el grupo ultra del Real Betis. Se sabe que estos sevillanos han participado de numerosos episodios de violencia. Han mantenido una fuerte rivalidad con los ultras del Sevilla.

The world has been dying to know who's the hottest in Atlanta, Ga. State ranking is too small for the league that this Goddess has been placed in. What makes "Lady Libra" the hottest thing smoking? She's Super Beautiful, Intellectual, Talented, Charismatic & Honorable. To state it more plainly a Super B.I.T.C.H! Founder, CEO/Official Host of "Hot Talk Radio" is where you can find this pioneer. The heat is on and she has taken over the world and won't stop until she reaches the sun. Her quest for success started years ago. As a child, her ambition was considered abnormal. She landed herself on "BET" by entering a contest. Her desire at that time was to be the first female child rapper. She never gave up on her dreams despite the many obstacles she has had to overcome. She has continued to add to her skills. The titles that describe this diva make her appear unreal. Teacher, Speaker, Promoter, Producer, Counselor, Writer, Actor, Director, Clothing Designer, Manager, Humanitarian, & Adoptive/Foster Parent are just a few of the roles she plays daily. Nothing can stop this aggressive individual. She continues to add to her accomplishments and the innovativeness that she processes is considered dangerous! Takela "Lady Libra" Barner is no novice when it comes to dedication, hard work, & perseverance. "The Queen of Shock Reality Radio" is climbing heights and melting hearts with her spicy style. From the underground up and remaining humble with her rise makes her well respected in the industry. Connecting and networking with the main stream artists and understanding the needs of the independent and underground artists is what she does on "Hot Talk Radio." She has interviewed "Kurtis Blow", "Backbone" from "The Dungeon Family", "Big Sam" from "The Eastside Boyz", "Producer Kill Will", "The Carleon Family", & many more on her show. Her goals in the near future include: launching her clothing line, acting, producing, writing, publishing her books and taking shock reality radio to levels never seen before. She describes it as being a walk in the park. "Beware, She's A Beautiful Nightmare" is the phrase that entices the world to tune in to "Hot Talk Radio." Their unique style is driving the listeners wild! The shows entire cast has captivated millions of listeners across the world and the fire that they have ignited can't be extinguished because the fuel they use is unrecognizable and has caused "Hot Talk Radio" to spread and now they're out of control.

Facebook; WALLACEBARNER
DUBBEATS PRODUCTIONS CEO, Wallace Barner, was born on December 26, 1978 at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, GA. to Mr. Angie and Carnell Barner. He is commonly known as Ditto, a multi-talented musician with over 25 years of experience in the music field. He is also an active member of the Kappa Kappa Psi Band Fraternity Inc. Percussion, Low Brass, Keyboard, and Bass are his instruments of expertise. A week after his birth, his family left Atlanta and moved to North Carolina.After starting school at the young age of four at Long Creek Elementary School, Wallace immediately knew he would pursue music as a career for the rest of his life because of the influence of the music program that he was affiliated with while attending this school. Catering to his drive to beat on every pot and pan in his home, his parents bought him his first drum set at the age of six. At the young age of 7, he began his journey in the music industry doing drug raps for the "Say No to Drugs" campaign on BET in the 80's. Although he never took formal lessons, he displayed his natural ability as a musician almost right away. In 1985 Wallace and his family moved back to Atlanta, Ga., where he attended E. L. Connelly Elementary School. After completing the second grade there, he transferred to Rosa Lee Wright Elementary school, where he began to learn to play the trumpet. After a short time in beginning band, Wallace was moved up to play in advanced band because of his extensive musical ability. The following school year, Wallace transferred back to E. L. Connelly Elementary and began to learn the trombone. By the time he reached middle school, football had become a major part in his life, but, eventually, the music bug resurfaced. He joined the intermediate band while in the 8th grade at Sylvan Middle School and was soon moved to the advanced band. In the same year, the band director from Booker T. Washington High School came and recruited Wallace by giving him the opportunity to participate in the "Salute To America Parade" on the 4th of July in 1992. Two years later, Wallace now sat first chair in both marching and concert band at Booker T. Washington High School. Because of his ability as a musician and his profound display of leadership in the band, Wallace became the Drum major in 1996. Upon graduating in 1996, Wallace had full scholarships to Morris Brown College, Florida AM University, Tennessee State University, and Clark Atlanta University. Unfortunately, he pursued neither and decided to get a job. At age 16 he joined a live band named "Thought Nubian" as a Bass player. Shortly after his 18th birthday he decide to pick up the Bass Guitar. He wanted to play bass so bad that he took a piece of wood and drew frets and strings on it and began to teach himself how to play. Once he had enough money, he went to the local pawn shop and purchased his first bass and amp for about $130.00. In order to accelerate his learning process on this new instrument, he purchased a DVD called "Beginning Bass" by Abraham Laboriel, who is a world renown bassist and a graduate of Berklee College of Music. Little did he know that soon thereafter he would be recieving a letter in the mail from the admission office at Berklee College of Music. In 2000, Wallace decided it was time to go back to school and auditioned for Berklee for a partial Scholarship and was awarded $3000 a semester. Although that may not seem like much, it was a lot for someone who had been playing bass for about a year and did their audition over a cassette tape. Wallace attended Berklee College of Music in the Spring of 2001. In 2004, Wallace reentered the live band scene as bass player for Between 9 & 7.He soon transferred to Georgia State University where he received his bachelors degree in Music Management in 2006. While in his last year at Georgia State, he interned at the world famous Doppler Studios, where he first began his professional career as a recording engineer. Working at this studio gave him the opportunity to meet some of the biggest names in the music business. That list includes, Fred Hammond, Wynita Bynum, Monica, Shaun Garrett, DTP, Lil Wayne, Brian Micheal Cox, Polo da Don, Jazze Pha, Lionel Richie, and a host of many others. In 2006 he took on the position of Assistant Engineer at Doppler Studios and remained for 2 years. After completing his assistantship, he decided it was time to step out on his own and become a freelance recording engineer and producer. After about two years as a freelancer, Wallace began teaching audio Engineering at an occupational training facility in 2007. In 2008, Wallace performed bass guitar behind vocalist, Amadi Jones, at her show in Atlanta, Ga. In 2009, he also performed bass guitar behind vocalist, Korey B., at the Loft in Atlanta, Ga. for his Album Release Party. Wallace has experience in the music field across the board and represents excellence in every area. DUBBEATS PRODUCTIONS is the "Home of The Music of The Future," which speaks for itself; Wallace Barner is one of the best in his field and produces only top quality as evidenced by his work.

I'm in Hyderabad for the second time this year and this time I decided to venture out and visit a few of the famous bars here.
Wednesdays – The best day to go out in the middle of the week and binge on a few drinks with friends, and I did just that. Met up with my friend and a few of her work colleagues at Air Café Lounge on Road No. 36, Jubilee Hills. The seating at the entrance was quite nice and seemed very relaxed – open air with a lot of tables, this section was full but I couldn't find my friend. I proceeded to the inside only to be greeted by a bartender Sai, whom I knew from a training I had conducted at Over the Moon, he just shifted jobs here recently. The bar back had 3 large TV screens playing the same channel; it was bright and right in my face, I couldn't tell what was on the display. There was quite a big dance floor right beside the bar with a DJ.
Stairway to Heaven, Sorry Air!
The Bar at Air, can I call it an Air Bar?
I went on to the other side of the outdoor section, which wasn't open air and spotted my friend there. I needed a drink! Ordered myself an Adriana cocktail (Light rum, rosemary, apple), which was suggested by Sai. I didn't like it too much, tasted like an over sweet Daiquiri, and had rosemary sprinkled on the top. Sai replaced it immediately and I didn't like the second one either, so I exchanged my cocktail with my friend's beer – sorted! My friend and her colleagues were there for the Hookah – with a flavor called Paan Rasna & Mint. I'm from Bangalore and you won't find even one place that serves Hookah!
For my second drink, I decided to play it safe and ordered myself a Captain & Cola, since there wasn't any of my favourite monk. There was a terrace section that seemed interesting so my friend and I took a look around. A large screen that was playing a football game, there were very few tables occupied. I would have liked to sit here but we were told that the top section was full (no it wasn't!), but that's fine. Apparently Air gets crazy during the weekend and is a must visit.
It was a work night and everyone had an early morning so we called it a night, but I didn't! I headed straight to my favorite place in Hyderabad – Over the Moon, which was a five-minute walk away. I pretty much know everyone here, since I've conducted training for their staff, and worked on a new cocktail menu for them, which is due to launch in January, can't wait to see the response to the new menu! Said my hellos to everyone and stuck to my Captain and Cola. OTM is all about a great ambiance, good music, great service and a great outdoor drinking experience.
Tequila Sunrise, Yellow, Wonderwall and Fools Rush in, among other hits. I also ordered a Thai Fried Chicken which was really good and quite spicy.
As soon as I was about to order my second drink, I get a call from another friend asking to me hit Heart Cup Café, which is THE place to be on a Thursday – Karaoke night. I call myself a cab and head straight there. From a distance I could hear the crowd cheering, and singing along to "Rolling in the deep", the place was packed! One famous tune after the other, the crowd would sing along, and oh well, so did I. It was fun. We ordered ourselves a Budweiser bucket of 6 beers. There were songs like Nickelback's Rockstar, Shakira's Wherever Whenever, and System of a Down's Chopsuey. But the best of them all was when a few regulars of heart cup took over the stage for the last song by Eminem's "Love the way you lie" featuring Rihanna, who sang the rap parts like pros!
As soon as the karaoke ended we went right next door to F Café, the party was on! Sipping on beers and grooving to the music on the dance floor, the DJ was on a higher level where everybody could see him, the crowd went pretty wild!
And that was Hyderabad – such a great time.

The Internet Knows You're Depressed, but Can It Help You?
Depressive people tend to use the Internet differently than mentally healthy types, but it's not clear whether their pattern of use helps or exacerbates their mood.

How Depressives Surf the Web The New York Times
How do depressed people behave online? According to a new study of college students with depressive symptoms — recently described by its authors in the New York Times — they compulsively check email, watch many videos, spend a lot of time playing games and chatting, and frequently switch back and forth between applications.
With permission, the authors tracked the Internet use patterns of 216 undergrads at the Missouri University of Science and Technology for a month. They measured their levels of depression at the start of the study.
About 30% had some depressive symptoms like low mood, loss of concentration and excessive feelings of anxiety. This doesn't mean that a third of college students were clinically depressed; rather, they had at least some of the symptoms associated with the disorder. The finding is in line with data from surveys showing that 10% to 40% of college students have depressive symptoms at one time or another.
(MORE: Should Depressed People Avoid Having Children?)
Authors Sriram Chellapan and Raghavendra Kotikalapudi write:
We believe that your pattern of Internet use says something about you. Specifically, our research suggests it can offer clues to your mental well-being.
In a study [PDF] to be published in a forthcoming issue of IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, we and our colleagues found that students who showed signs of depression tended to use the Internet differently from those who showed no symptoms of depression.
The research cannot determine, however, whether depression causes this differing pattern of use, or vice versa — or more importantly, whether this Internet behavior worsens, alleviates or has no effect on mood problems.
A depressed person might use gaming and video watching to avoid coping with emotional pain, or gaming could actually be a healthy escape that helps lift mood. Similarly, excess chatting and emailing might be a sign that someone is reaching out for helpful support, or it could signal desperation and anxiety related to socializing.
Rapid application switching seems likely to reflect the impairment in concentration that characterizes some kinds of depression, as the authors suggest, but it might alternatively be an adaptive way to get things done when focus is in short supply. Because the researchers avoided investigating the content of applications, emails and chats due to privacy concerns, it's impossible to tell.
(MORE: Fact Check: A Survey Links Facebook to Drug Use in Teens)
Previous research on role of Internet use in depression has been mixed. Some studies certainly find that overuse is associated with worsening of the disorder, but others demonstrate that online therapy and social support can help.
The researchers seek to create applications that people with depressive tendencies could use to track their own patterns, potentially alerting them to seek help if troubling trends are spotted. Similar apps might be used by parents to monitor children.
While it's creepy to think about all the things computer scientists can figure out about us online, at least this particular type of surveillance might help us improve our mental health.

French officials apologise for inaccurate depiction of Gulf region at Abu Dhabi branch, says Qatar's human rights chief.
The Louvre Museum in Paris has launched an official investigation into the distortion of the Gulf map at its Abu Dhabi franchise, Qatar's National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) said.
A map omitting the state of Qatar was published by curators at the Louvre Museum Abu Dhabi last month, sparking controversy.
Museum officials later replaced it with a map of the Arabian Peninsula, admitting "oversight".
Another map appeared to have removed the border demarcation between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Omani enclave of Musandam.
NHRC chairman Ali bin Smaikh al-Marri, who met the management of Louvre in the French capital on Monday, said the issue will be raised by French officials due to visit UAE next week.
"The Abu Dhabi authorities' aggression against the memory, history and culture of the people of the region and the Louvre Abu Dhabi scandal are not just aimed at Qatar, but the world cultural heritage," said al-Marri in a series of Tweets.
"What happened in the Abu Dhabi scandal was an attempt to wipe out the people and state of Qatar and use art as a tool to settle political scores," he added.
Al-Marri called on the Louvre management in Paris to take firm measures against "political exploitation" and to protect intellectual and cultural heritage.
The controversy comes as a major diplomatic regional dispute has entered its ninth month.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt cut ties with Qatar on June 5, accusing it of supporting "terrorism", an allegation Doha has vehemently denied.
The two maps drew plenty of reaction on social media, with activists accusing the Abu Dhabi museum of deliberately trying to distort the geography of the Gulf.
The Washington Institute's Simon Henderson reported Qatar's omission from the regional map.
According to images published on social media, another map showed Musandam, an exclave of Oman in the northern tip of the peninsula, as part of the UAE.
Anwar Gargash, the UAE minister of state for foreign affairs, called the distortion a "small mishap" and accused those pointing it out of "looking to create unnecessary controversy".
The Louvre Abu Dhabi, which took 10 years to build, opened its doors to the public in November last year.
The immense $1bn project was officially inaugurated by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Q: CascadingDropDown taking two parameters I have a page with 3 dropdownlist, 2nd and 3rd dropdownlist are added with CascadingDropDown. 3rd dropdownlist will take parameters from 1st and 2nd dropdownlist. So, in current example for CascadingDropDown i have found from google, they are only passing one parameter to the WebService method. How can pass two parameters to the service method, so that my 3rd dropdownlist will based on the SelectedValue of 1st and 2nd dropdownlist?
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function GetTeams(ByVal knownCategoryValues As String, ByVal category As String) As CascadingDropDownNameValue()
    Dim strConnection As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("nerdlinessConnection").ConnectionString
    Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(strConnection)
    Dim strTeamQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM TEAM WHERE conf_id = @confid"
    Dim cmdFetchTeam As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strTeamQuery, sqlConn)

    Dim dtrTeam As SqlDataReader
    Dim kvTeam As StringDictionary = CascadingDropDown.ParseKnownCategoryValuesString(knownCategoryValues)

    Dim intConfId As Integer

    If Not kvTeam.ContainsKey("Conference") Or Not Int32.TryParse(kvTeam("Conference"), intConfId) Then
        Return Nothing
    End If

    cmdFetchTeam.Parameters.AddWithValue("@confid", intConfId)
    Dim myTeams As New List(Of CascadingDropDownNameValue)

    sqlConn.Open()
    dtrTeam = cmdFetchTeam.ExecuteReader

    While dtrTeam.Read()
        Dim strTeamName As String = dtrTeam("team_name").ToString
        Dim strTeamId As String = dtrTeam("team_id").ToString

        myTeams.Add(New CascadingDropDownNameValue(strTeamName, strTeamId))
    End While

    Return myTeams.ToArray
End Function

This is the sample code i found! As you can see in the code, '@confid' will be passed from 2nd dropdownlist! So, hw do i modify this code to get the selected value from 1st dropdownlist as well??

A: Which web service are you referring to? Is it something you have written or someone else's webservice?
In case it is your webservice, update the method definition in it and pass two parameters. In case it is somone else's, contact the concerned person to know what best can be done.

A: It appears the poster is not asking about Web Services really, but about SqlCommand and adding parameters.
First, you should never EVER run sql straight from your web application like that.  Put it in a stored procedure.
Second, you should run checks on the values coming in, because this is a good way for your web site users to use SQL injection attacks.
Now... Here is what you were looking for:
Dim strTeamQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM TEAM WHERE conf_id = @confid"

becomes
Dim strTeamQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM TEAM WHERE conf_id = @confid AND second_id = @secondId"

Then just add another one of these:
cmdFetchTeam.Parameters.AddWithValue("@confid", intConfId)

(with the other value, of course, like this)
cmdFetchTeam.Parameters.AddWithValue("@confid", intConfId)
cmdFetchTeam.Parameters.AddWithValue("@secondId", intSecondId)

Once, there was a relief of a seated king Shapur II (r.309-379) and several courtiers. It could be seen between the relief of Hormizd II and Achaemenid tomb II, but because it has always been exposed to the wind (unlike the other Sasanian reliefs, which were protected by sand), it is very damaged. However, you can still discern the Sasanian king, seated and seen frontally, and one or two figures to his right (if you can not recognize it, look here). The composition must have resembled the sixth relief of Bishapur.

About David Feldman S. A. Genf
David Feldman SA, one of the world's leading philatelic auction houses, and holder of world records such as the highest price ever achieved for a philatelic item and the highest price ever for a single stamp, opened offices in New York City in 2009 and has been conducting public auctions there under the name David Feldman USA. Now with the opening of offices in Hong Kong, David Feldman has grown into a global philatelic auction house.
Collectors and professional philatelists can expect the Feldman firm's unwavering commitment to obtaining the maximum possible results through its renowned friendly and flexible customer service, intelligent promotion and presentation, backed by reliable financial strength.
The currency of the auction is the Swiss franc (CHF)
Participation in any David Feldman S.A. auction means acceptance in full of the following conditions as well as any rights and obligations arising therefrom. These same conditions also apply to all transactions taking place outside the realm of the auctions. DAVID FELDMAN S.A., organiser of the auctions, acts as an agent only and is not liable in any way whatsoever for any default(s) of purchaser(s) and/or vendor(s).
1. The auction lots are offered
1.1 As presented in the relative auction catalogue and/or through the David Feldman S.A. website. Lots are meticulously described and with the greatest care, however without responsibility. Photographs count as part of the description with regard to the margins, perforation, centering, postmarks and all other visible attributes. The descriptions of the lots mention if the items are signed by recognised experts and/or accompanied by expert certificates.
1.2 As viewed in person: before and during auction sales, persons or their agents may examine lots at our offices or at the auction location, and must confirm their auction invitation before viewing. Persons or their agents attending a Live Room auction by invitation and/or who have viewed lots before an auction are understood to have examined all lots which they purchase and accept them as they are at the moment of the knocking-down and not necessarily as described.
2. Auction bids
2.1 The auction bid steps for all auctions are as follows: (some auctions may be in other currencies than Swiss francs)
CHF 50 - 100 CHF 5 CHF 2000 - 5000 CHF 200
CHF 100 - 200 CHF 10 CHF 5000 - 10000 CHF 500

CHF 500 - 1000 CHF 50 CHF 20000 - 50000 CHF 2000
CHF 1000 - 2000 CHF 100 CHF 50000 - 100000 CHF 5000
Bids between these steps will be adjusted accordingly to the next highest bid step. The bidder is bound by his offer until a higher bid has been validly accepted.
2.2 DAVID FELDMAN S.A. has full discretion to refuse any bidding, to divide any lot or lots, to combine any two or more lots and to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale without in any case giving any reason. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. may also bid on behalf of vendors in cases where reserve prices have been fixed. In these cases, the vendor is treated as a buyer and the auctioneer shall bid on his behalf up to reserve prices. If the reserve price fixed by the vendor is not reached, the auctioneer passes to the next lot by a simple knock of the hammer.
2.3 Bid orders are only accepted from registered clients of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. and/or its associated companies. Live Room bidders must confirm their invitation prior to obtaining a bidding number.
2.4 Bid orders received by DAVID FELDMAN S.A. including via its website before the relative auctions have priority over room bids in the case of Live Room auctions. Clients giving bidding instructions to DAVID FELDMAN S.A. may make alternative offers and/or limit the total of their expenditure in advance. Bids marked "BUY" are considered as up to ten times the quoted estimate price where such exists. Bids made in other currencies than the advertised currency of the auction will be converted into that currency at the market rate of the day of receipt by DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Bids are standing and hold good for at least 60 days from the auction period. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. reserves the right to invoice bidders up to the end of the 60 day period, payment being due immediately.
3. The auction
3.1 Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the currency of the auction is the Swiss franc. Live Room auctions are held under the control of the relative supervising authority at its location. The relative supervising authority has no liability. The auction will be held under the ministry of a "huissier judiciaire" of the Canton and Republic of Geneva.
3.2 Prerogatives of David Feldman S.A.: DAVID FELDMAN S.A. may withdraw, group differently, divide or refuse to knock down any lot. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. reserves the right to refuse any bid orders and/or for Live Room auctions, refuse admittance to the auction room, at its discretion, to anybody whomsoever. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. cannot be held responsible for any physical accident that may occur on the premises where auctions take place. In the case a bone fide offer for the entire collection presented in this catalog is received at least two weeks before the auction date, and would be accepted by the vendor and the auctioneer, it maybe withdrawn from sale and the auction offer cancelled.
3.3 Bidders' representatives and auction agents: any person bidding for the account of a third party is fully liable for any obligation arising from such bidding. This responsibility is notably applicable for the verification of the condition and for the payment of purchased lots.
3.4 Winning Bids: each lot is sold on behalf of the respective owner to the highest bidder who becomes the buyer at one bid step over the next highest bid step; this is the knock-down price. In addition to the knock-down price, the buyer pays, for lots over CHF 50'000 a premium of 18%, and for lots under CHF 50'000 a premium of 22%, both inclusive of all fees with the exception of postage. Cost of postage will be invoiced separately from the buyer's premium. On the knock of the hammer, liability for the lots passes to the bidder whose bids have been accepted. The lots are delivered to the buyer when the total sale price (knock-down price plus all fees) have been paid in full.
VAT (Sales Tax) - Notes for guidance concerning auctions for which the lots are located in Switzerland: buyers domiciled abroad are not liable for this tax once the goods are duly exported from Switzerland. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. are pleased to arrange this export; alternatively, clients may make their own arrangements and furnish DAVID FELDMAN S.A. with proof of export, stamped by Swiss customs. Any purchases by buyers who wish to keep their purchases in Switzerland will be liable to VAT at 7.7% of the purchase price in Swiss Francs. It is the buyer's responsibility to pay any relevant duties that may be incurred upon import to other jurisdictions.
3.5 Payment: Sale price plus buyer's premium and additional costs (if any) are due for immediate payment as invoiced against delivery of the lots. Payment in other currencies is accepted at the rates of exchange of the day as quoted by a major Swiss bank. The bidders who are successful with whom it has been expressly agreed that they pay after the sale under special conditions, are due to pay the sale price, buyer's premium and any other costs according to those terms. In these cases, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. keeps the relevant lots which are delivered to the buyers on full settlement of their account. Delivery of the purchased lots by post, courier or any other means if instructed by the buyer including cost of normal transit insurance cover is at the expense of the buyer. Title
or ownership of the purchased lots, delivered or not, remains with the auctioneer on behalf of the seller until payment has been made in full.
3.6 Special extended payment facility: DAVID FELDMAN S.A. may offer a special extended payment facility for buyers. In these cases, the buyer may choose to pay a minimum of 25% of the total invoice immediately, and the balance over a maximum period of 6 months, paying an equal instalment at the end of each month. Interest plus charges of 1% is debited to the buyer's account at the end of each month from the auction date. When the special extended payment facility has been granted, the buyer understands that any claims regarding his purchases must be made within 30 days of the auction sale date, even though the lots may be held by DAVID FELDMAN S.A. awaiting full settlement of the account. Until delivery, all lots may be examined by their respective buyers at the offices of DAVID FELDMAN S.A.
3.7 Pledge: until full settlement of the account, the buyer grants to DAVID FELDMAN S.A. a pledge on any and all properties held by DAVID FELDMAN S.A., acquired prior to, during and/or after any auction. This pledge secures the repayment of any amount due in principals, interests, commissions, costs and other possible fees. DAVID FELDMAN S.A. is entitled, but not obliged, to realise freely the pledge assets without further formalities and without previous notice if the buyer is in default with the payment of his debts or with the fulfilment of any other obligation hereunder. For this purpose, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. is not bound to comply with the formalities of the Federal Law dealing with actions for debt and bankruptcy proceedings; in addition, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. may choose to institute or go on with the usual proceedings without having beforehand sold the pledged goods and without having moreover given them up.
4.1 Extent of the guarantee: subject to paragraph 4.3 below, the authenticity of all philatelic items sold in the auction is guaranteed for a period of 30 days from the auction date, with the express exclusion of any other fault(s). Any reclamation regarding authenticity must come to the notice of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. on the delivery of the lots but at the latest within 30 days from that date. Before delivery, which may take place after the 30 days period, the lots purchased may be examined at the Geneva offices of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. The buyer whose reclamation is made after 30 days from the auction date loses all rights to the guarantee. Such reclamation will not be valid by DAVID FELDMAN S.A.. If an extension of the period is required in order to substantiate the claim with an expertise, a request for such extension must be made to DAVID FELDMAN S.A. within 30 days of the auction date. No request for extension will be considered beyond this 30 days period. An extention will expire 3 months after the date of the auction; the results of the expertise for which an extension was agreed must come to the notice of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. within that period. No further extension of the period will be considered without the express written agreement of DAVID FELDMAN S.A. Only claims, expertise results or other details which are made within the agreed periods will be valid.
4.2 Expertise and counter-expertise: should the authenticity of a lot be questioned, the buyer is obliged to provide an expertise or counter-expertise from a prominent expert in the field, justifying the claim. If a stamp is found by a recognised expert, taking financial responsibility for errors, to have been forged, he may mark it accordingly. Consequently, the marking "FALSCH" (forged) is not considered an alteration. In the case of such reclamation, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. reserves the right to request, at its own discretion, one or more further expertise(s). All expertise and relative charges accrue to the vendor's account in the case of a justified claim, or to the buyer's account if the claim is not justified. In the case of a justified claim, the lot is taken back and the knock-down price plus the commission are refunded to the buyer. In the case of delayed payment due to expertise agreed by David Feldman S.A., interest is charged at 50% of the standard rate for all cleared lots. If David Feldman S.A. has not agreed, then full interest is due.
4.3 Exclusions: lots described as collections, accumulations, selections, groups and those containing duplicates cannot be the subject of any claim. Claims concerning lots described as a set or groups of sets containing more than one stamp, can only be considered under the terms of paragraph 4.1 above if they relate to more than one third of the total value of the lot. Lots which have been examined by the buyer or his agent, lots described as having defects or faults cannot be subjected to a claim regarding defects or faults. lllustrated lots cannot be subjected to a claim because of perforations, centering, margins or other factors shown in the illustrations.
4.4 Late Payment: if payment of the knock-down price plus commission due by the buyer is not made within 30 days of the date of the auction, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. reserves the right to cancel the sale and dispose of the lot(s) elsewhere and/or to make a recourse to any legal proceedings in order to obtain payment of the amounts due as well as for any incurred damages and losses and any legal expenses. A charge on overdue payment of at least 5% for the first month and 2% per month afterwards plus expenses incurred is chargeable on any outstanding amount after 30 days of the date of the auction. The buyer who is in default in any way whatsoever has no right of claim under any circumstances.
4.5 Exceptionally, the knock-down price will be reduced to the lowest winning bid where it is shown that the exact same buyer has inadvertently increased the price by using more than one medium of bidding on the same lot.
5. Applicable law and jurisdiction
Unless otherwise stated, all auctions as well as any rights and obligations arising from them shall be governed exclusively by Swiss law. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to the auctions shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Geneva, subject to appeal to the Swiss Federal Court in Lausanne. In every case, DAVID FELDMAN S.A. shall also be entitled, at its discretion, to sue any buyer in default at his place of residence; in such case, Swiss law shall remain applicable and in the case of issues regarding price value, the Swiss franc is the currency of the auction.
6. All Transactions:
These Conditions of Sale apply to all transactions of every kind including those outside the auctions, with David Feldman SA.
Note: If these Conditions of sale are translated into one or more other languages, the English translation shall be the official version and shall prevail over all other translations.

Taliban taking away more female rights
Since the Taliban swept back to power in Afghanistan in August, they have been enforcing their fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. Despite trying to rebrand as further moderate, the group has assessed a slew of restrictions that revoke the liberties that Afghan women have won through a history of struggle and activism, and unravel the earnings made over the once two decades.
Following al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington, DC, the United States raided Afghanistan. The justifications for the war placed prominent attention on the Taliban's misogyny. According to the administration of the then United States. President George W. Bush, the war on terror in Afghanistan was" also a fight for women's rights and dignity. "That drew attention to the plight of Afghan women, which restated to transnational aid and backing for social programs and NGOs focused on bettering women's lives. This enabled women in urban areas, particularly in the capital, Kabul, to share in public life in ways that were insolvable under the Taliban regime.
But those changes failed to reach the countryside, where, according to data from the World Bank, about seventy per cent of Afghans live. In the two-decade war, villages across Afghanistan have been scenes of innumerous clashes between Taliban-aligned groups and NATO and national forces. Rural women constantly suffered night raids, airstrikes and displacement, without getting the chance to benefit from the expanded opportunities for their counterparts in the cities.
A United States report published in July quotes rural women who say the 2020 withdrawal agreement between the United States and Taliban has meant lower violence in their areas, Unique freedom of movement and reduced anxiety. The first restrictions that the Taliban introduced formerly they got back power substantially targeted urban and middle-class women. But they are expanding into a long list of rules, which will affect Afghanistan's entire female population.
Then are some of the restrictions that the Taliban have imposed on women so far
Long-distance travel
Afghan women have been banned from travelling further than seventy-two kilometres (45 miles) without a male relative since December 26. The Taliban Ministry for Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice made it illegal for motorists to give rides to women travelling alone. A senior member of Human Rights Watch told the AFP news agency that the decree prevents women from" being able to depart if they're facing domestic violence."
Television and media
In November, the Taliban banned women from appearing on Television shows and big screen and ordered female reporters and presenters to wear headscarves. According to a report released by Journalists Without Borders (RSF) in August, utmost female employees of media organizations stopped working after the Taliban takeover.
Women's Affairs Ministry abolished
Established in 2001, the Women's Affairs Ministry was abolished by the Taliban in September. Its office now houses the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice Ministry.
Education cut off
The Taliban has effectively prohibited girls from receiving education advanced than primary academy by keeping most secondary academies for teenage girls closed, Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported in October. According to World Bank data, the proportion of girls in primary schools in Afghanistan increased from less than 10 per cent in 2003 to thirty-three per cent in 2017, while their share in secondary academies was thirty-nine per cent in 2017, over from six per cent in 2003.
Women banned from working
In early July, as the Taliban were seizing territory from government forces across Afghanistan, the group's fighters stormed into bank offices in the southern city of Kandahar and ordered women working there to leave. After taking full control of Afghanistan, the group continued to eliminate women from workplaces. In September, one of the Taliban's senior figures told the Reuters news agency that Afghan women shouldn't work alongside men. That statement was followed by another decree issued by the interim mayor ordering female employees of Kabul's city government to stay home.
Women accounted for twenty per cent of the country's workforce in 2020, according to a report released by the United Nation Development Program in December, and a growing number of them ran small businesses.
Dress code, segregation
In September, the Taliban's education minister blazoned that gender segregation and the Islamic dress code will be compulsory for universities. All-female scholars, educators and staff must wear an Islamic abaya robe and niqab that covers the hair, body and most of the face, according to the regulations issued by the Education Ministry. Afghan women have protested these restrictions multiple times, despite being assaulted with rifle butts, tear gas and essence clubs.

Jon Benjamin Has a Van: "Star Door"
Steve Heisler
Jon Benjamin Has a Van
Jon Benjamin Has a VanSeason 1
"Star Door"
Whenever sketch comedy shows go in weird directions, there are two paths the characters can take: They can comment on just how weird the story has become, or they can embrace it, acting as if what's happening is the most natural thing in the world. The latter is a wise move; comedy is always strongest when it comes out of agreement, which is the whole improv "yes, and" philosophy in action. Strong sketch shows have gone that route in the past (Human Giant, The Life & Times Of Tim, which is cartoonish enough in plot to qualify), but Jon Benjamin Has A Van goes all the way, introducing the weirdest plots imaginable, then trying to have them make sense.
The show is strongest when it embraces this inherent silliness, and "Star Door" is both strikingly weird but comically nonchalant. It's very out there: While reporting on "Area 54", a secret club inside Area 51, Jon Benjamin and his team stumble upon an ancient artifact that's been studied by government scientists (chief among them Chris Parnell) for years to much head-scratching. Of course, though, Jon Benjamin's van is the catalyst to make this star door work—it's the exact size of the van—and the team drives through, making a journey to a distant land. When they inadvertently run over an alien upon exiting, Benjamin finds himself on trial, and completely unrelated to the appearances of Tim and Eric, it only gets odder from there.
I liked "Star Door" a hell of a lot more than "Little Italy" because the internal logic of the weirdness makes more sense. The people in Little Little Italy are tiny, and the fact that they'd think they had a viable shot at killing regular-size people is pretty ridiculous; it just feels like more of a gimmick than something to hang an episode on. "Star Door" suffers a little from the sketch version of the deus-ex-machina (the logic that, in fact, the Eric Wareheim character is the one who committed the crime), but for the most part everything is explained and exists within the realm of plausibility. Sure, it's very out-there plausibility, but Jon Benjamin Has A Van creates the sort of comic world where the more things are pushed in a weird and uncomfortable direction, the more the payoff can become.
The remainder of the episode demonstrates this point. The supplementary sketch segments were always good for a laugh, but the ones in "Star Door" round out the comical world of the show by introducing new characters. "Shame On Me" takes on the rant-type segments of these interview shows, and the guy who does realistic hairpieces is the sort of person I'd imagine the fictional Jon Benjamin—the guy who remains unflappable when sitting in a prison on the other end of a star door—would be fascinated by. I wanted more; the vast majority of the episode was devoted to star door shenanigans. Still, Jon Benjamin Has A Van is tinkering with just how far the show can take things, and "Star Door" is a step back in the right direction.
Stray observations:
I can understand why the show might be alienating, which is something I've heard a lot. There aren't really that many likable characters, and they pretty much operate as sketch pawns for the larger gag anyways. Take the people in the lab, robot-ly celebrating their colleague's birthday party near the end, or the fact that the entire Jon Benjamin crew basically speaks in the same tone of voice the entire episode. I guess I just enjoy being in this world, so I'm fine with the show standing entirely on its ability to churn out sketches; it tries hard not to be like most other sketch shows, which typically shake out as "kinda like the real world, only slightly different!"
The UCB train continues forward with Ian Roberts. This show reminds me of that one more with each episode. Here's hoping Amy Poehler swings by.
Was anyone else needlessly unsettled when the skin came off and that wig guy had full, flowing locks? Unexpected hair = worse than weird hair.

The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth as a perfect ellipsoid. However, it differs from global latitude/longitude in that it divides earth into 60 zones and projects each to the plane as a basis for its coordinates. Specifying a location means specifying the zone and the x, y coordinate in that plane. The projection from spheroid to a UTM zone is some parameterization of the transverse Mercator projection. The parameters vary by nation or region or mapping system.

Most zones in UTM span 6 degrees of longitude, and each has a designated central meridian. The scale factor at the central meridian is specified to be 0.9996 of true scale for most UTM systems in use.

History
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website states that the system was developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, starting in the early 1940s. However, a series of aerial photos found in the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv (the military section of the German Federal Archives) apparently dating from 1943–1944 bear the inscription UTMREF followed by grid letters and digits, and projected according to the transverse Mercator, a finding that would indicate that something called the UTM Reference system was developed in the 1942–43 time frame by the Wehrmacht. It was probably carried out by the Abteilung für Luftbildwesen (Department for Aerial Photography). From 1947 onward the US Army employed a very similar system, but with the now-standard 0.9996 scale factor at the central meridian as opposed to the German 1.0. For areas within the contiguous United States the Clarke Ellipsoid of 1866 was used. For the remaining areas of Earth, including Hawaii, the International Ellipsoid was used. The World Geodetic System WGS84 ellipsoid is now generally used to model the Earth in the UTM coordinate system, which means current UTM northing at a given point can differ up to 200 meters from the old. For different geographic regions, other datum systems can be used.

Prior to the development of the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system, several European nations demonstrated the utility of grid-based conformal maps by mapping their territory during the interwar period. Calculating the distance between two points on these maps could be performed more easily in the field (using the Pythagorean theorem) than was possible using the trigonometric formulas required under the graticule-based system of latitude and longitude. In the post-war years, these concepts were extended into the Universal Transverse Mercator/Universal Polar Stereographic (UTM/UPS) coordinate system, which is a global (or universal) system of grid-based maps.

The transverse Mercator projection is a variant of the Mercator projection, which was originally developed by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator, in 1570. This projection is conformal, which means it preserves angles and therefore shapes across small regions. However, it distorts distance and area.

Definitions

UTM zone

The UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6° of longitude in width. Zone 1 covers longitude 180° to 174° W; zone numbering increases eastward to zone 60, which covers longitude 174°E to 180°. The polar regions south of 80°S and north of 84°N are excluded.

Each of the 60 zones uses a transverse Mercator projection that can map a region of large north-south extent with low distortion.  By using narrow zones of 6° of longitude (up to 668 km) in width, and reducing the scale factor along the central meridian to 0.9996 (a reduction of 1:2500), the amount of distortion is held below 1 part in 1,000 inside each zone.  Distortion of scale increases to 1.0010 at the zone boundaries along the equator.

In each zone the scale factor of the central meridian reduces the diameter of the transverse cylinder to produce a secant projection with two standard lines, or lines of true scale, about 180 km on each side of, and about parallel to, the central meridian (Arc cos 0.9996 = 1.62° at the Equator).  The scale is less than 1 inside the standard lines and greater than 1 outside them, but the overall distortion is minimized.

Overlapping grids

Distortion of scale increases in each UTM zone as the boundaries between the UTM zones are approached. However, it is often convenient or necessary to measure a series of locations on a single grid when some are located in two adjacent zones. Around the boundaries of large scale maps (1:100,000 or larger) coordinates for both adjoining UTM zones are usually printed within a minimum distance of 40 km on either side of a zone boundary. Ideally, the coordinates of each position should be measured on the grid for the zone in which they are located, but because the scale factor is still relatively small near zone boundaries, it is possible to overlap measurements into an adjoining zone for some distance when necessary.

Latitude bands
Latitude bands are not a part of UTM, but rather a part of the military grid reference system (MGRS). They are however sometimes used.

Latitude bands
Each zone is segmented into 20 latitude bands. Each latitude band is 8 degrees high, and is lettered starting from "C" at 80°S, increasing up the English alphabet until "X", omitting the letters "I" and "O" (because of their similarity to the numerals one and zero).  The last latitude band, "X", is extended an extra 4 degrees, so it ends at 84°N latitude, thus covering the northernmost land on Earth.

Latitude bands "A" and "B" do exist, theoretically, as do bands "Y" and "Z".  These cover the western and eastern sides of the Antarctic and Arctic regions respectively. A convenient mnemonic to remember is that the letter "N" is the first letter in "northern hemisphere", so any letter coming before "N" in the alphabet is in the southern hemisphere, and any letter "N" or after is in the northern hemisphere.

Notation
The combination of a zone and a latitude band defines a grid zone. The zone is always written first, followed by the latitude band. For example, (see image, top right), a position in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, would find itself in zone 17 and latitude band "T", thus the full grid zone reference is "17T". The grid zones serve to delineate irregular UTM zone boundaries. They also are an integral part of the military grid reference system.

Occasionally only N or S following the zone number is added to indicate North or South hemisphere (the easting and northing coordinates along with the zone number supplying everything necessary to geolocate a position except which hemisphere). However, this notation is ambiguous since, for instance, "50S" can mean southern hemisphere but also grid zone "50S" in the northern hemisphere.

Exceptions
These grid zones are uniform over the globe, except in two areas. On the southwest coast of Norway, grid zone 32V (9° of longitude in width) is extended further west, and grid zone 31V (3° of longitude in width) is correspondingly shrunk to cover only open water. Also, in the region around Svalbard, the four grid zones 31X (9° of longitude in width), 33X (12° of longitude in width), 35X (12° of longitude in width), and 37X (9° of longitude in width) are extended to cover what would otherwise have been covered by the seven grid zones 31X to 37X. The three grid zones 32X, 34X and 36X are not used.

Locating a position using UTM coordinates
A position on the Earth is given by the UTM zone number and band letter and the easting and northing planar coordinate pair in that zone and band.

The point of origin of each UTM zone is the intersection of the equator and the zone's central meridian. To avoid dealing with negative numbers, the central meridian of each zone is defined to coincide with  meters East. In any zone a point that has an easting of  meters is about 100 km west of the central meridian. For most such points, the true distance would be slightly more than 100 km as measured on the surface of the Earth because of the distortion of the projection. UTM eastings range from about  meters to  meters at the equator.

In the northern hemisphere positions are measured northward from zero at the equator. The maximum "northing" value is about  meters at latitude 84 degrees North, the north end of the UTM zones. The southern hemisphere's northing at the equator is set at  meters. Northings decrease southward from these  meters to about  meters at 80 degrees South, the south end of the UTM zones. Therefore, no point has a negative northing value.

For example, the CN Tower is at , which is in UTM zone 17, and the grid position is  east,  north. Two points in Zone 17 have these coordinates, one in the northern hemisphere and one in the south; the non-ambiguous format is to specify the full zone and band, that is, "17T 630084 4833438". The provision of the latitude band along with northing supplies useful redundant information.

Simplified formulae

These formulae are truncated version of Transverse Mercator: flattening series, which were originally derived by Johann Heinrich Louis Krüger in 1912. They are accurate to around a millimeter within  of the central meridian. Concise commentaries for their derivation have also been given.

The WGS 84 spatial reference system describes Earth as an oblate spheroid along north-south axis with an equatorial radius of  km and an inverse flattening of . Let's take a point of latitude  and of longitude  and compute its UTM coordinates as well as point scale factor  and meridian convergence  using a reference meridian of longitude . By convention, in the northern hemisphere  km and in the southern hemisphere  km. By convention also  and  km.

In the following formulas, the distances are in kilometers. In advance let's compute some preliminary values:

From latitude, longitude (φ, λ) to UTM coordinates (E, N)
First let's compute some intermediate values:
