The Face of Peace
The Bort Family
Columbiana, Ohio, USA
www.suzannegray.com
The Bort family, under the direction of Richard Bort and Suzanne Bort Gray, collaborated to make The Face of Peace. The montage is made up of thousands of images of people who touched the lives of the family. These small photos were combined into a larger picture…. six faces representing male, female, old, young, black, white, Asian, and Middle Eastern. Every member of the family participated in this project (including those who still live in Ukraine). With the help of Captain Matthew Reinhardt, the Bort project was partnered with a group of women in Ramadi, Iraq and was the first Global Art Project sent to that country.
Suzanne Bort Gray is a Global Art Project International Coordinator.

If you've ever tried to remove a gear with a hammer and screwdriver instead of a gearpuller, or hand-sewn a tablecloth hem instead of using a sewing machine, you know how important having the right tool for the job can be.
I've written before how resourceful my father and his friends were at building and fixing things when I was growing up. One of the things I noticed was how they always had the right tool for whatever job came up. In fact, my friends will tell you that my favorite expression is "There's a tool for that!". Now, my Dad didn't always have the right tool in the garage; but he could get one at a moment's notice. Between all of them, his group of friends had just about every tool you could think of to rebuild an engine, replace a furnace or toilet, or build a roof. This was primarily because my father and his friends were all tradesmen of one sort or another. Aoki was a shade tree mechanic, Frank was a roofer, Merle was a plumber, my dad was a telephone and electrician man. If any one of them needed an exotic tool for a job, another one would probably have it. They would not have to buy something that, while it would make their lives much easier, would end up sitting unused in their toolbox for five years.
You can put this same practice to use today. How often do you mow your lawn, clean your carpets, need a sewing machine or a table saw? Even the lawn mower and carpet cleaner, while used on a regular basis, spend most of their lives sitting in the shed or cleaning closet. Instead of buying or renting those infrequently used, but necessary tools, find one or two "swap buddies," that you partner with to share the cost and care. Three households can easily share a lawnmower or carpet cleaner without schedule conflicts. You can each split the cost of the tool, or if that gets complicated or makes you feel awkward, then simply split the tools up like my Dad's friends. One family has the mower, one has the sewing machine, one has the carpet cleaner, and all three families get to use them as needed.
This approach is incredibly valuable, especially for new home buyers. It helps to lower the immediate cash outlay right after you have purchased your home. And it is a great way to meet and form relationships with your neighbors! Melissa and her husband did this very thing with our friend Janna when they both bought new homes near each other. For the first three years of ownership, the two households actually shared a lawnmower. Even between the two of them, it still spent most of its time in the garage.
So, when thinking about your next project, or even your next routine chore, find the right tool for the job, and then find a swap buddy to share with.


NEW DELHI: In what may come as a sentiment dampener for fence sitters, a recent report by Magicbricks.com says home prices are unlikely to come down in the near future and the market is already at its lowest point.
Prices have either seen marginal increment or have actually gone down, shows a report Magicbricks.com's latest Price Trend Report.
"The stagnation in capital values and inflation working together for the past 2 years have resulted in implicit price correction," said E Jayashree Kurup, head of content and research at Magicbricks.com.
"On an average, properties today cost the same as two years earlier. This is the implicit correction in prices," she said.
The report evaluates the weighted average price for 11 major cities for a two year period from quarter ending July-September 2013 to July-September 2015.
Delhi witnessed the largest drop in prices of around 15% over the last two years. Pune seemed to have seen a double digit growth of 11.8%, but the increment was nullified, after adjustment for inflation. Chennai & Bangalore registered a price increase of 10.8% and 7.6%, respectively.
Additionally the report says the large unsold inventory being talked about is not homogenous. Projects are in different state of completion. "Consumers are likely to opt for projects with visibility of completion or by developers with good track record. Such projects/developers have no incentive to reduce prices," it said.
And even if deep discount is available in projects in early to intermediate stages of construction, a consumer might not opt for the same if he is not sure of delivery timeline or reputation of the developer, it added.

The Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) (established in
1961, formerly known as the National Scientific Balloon Facility
(NSBF)) is a NASA facility responsible for providing launch, tracking and control, airspace coordination, telemetry and command systems, and recovery services for unmanned high-altitude balloons. Customers of the CSBF include NASA centers, universities, and scientific groups from all over the world.

Mission
CSBF has a threefold mission:
 Provide maintenance, operations and logistics support for NASA's scientific balloon program and facilities.
 Provide sophisticated ground and flight systems for launch, control, data retrieval, commanding, and recovery of NASA's balloon missions.
 Perform research and development to advance the capabilities of NASA's suborbital programs.

History
The Balloon Facility was established by Vincent E. Lally at NCAR in Boulder, Colorado in 1961 under the auspices of the National Science Foundation. It was moved to Palestine, Texas in 1963 and designated as the National Scientific Balloon Facility (NSBF) in January 1973.

In 1982, sponsorship of the NSBF was transferred from the National Science Foundation to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the NSBF became a separate entity under the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).

From October 1987 to January 2015, the CSBF was operated by the Physical Science Laboratory under the auspices of New Mexico State University located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. In February 2015, operation of the facility was transferred to the Technical Services Division of Orbital ATK. It is administered by Goddard Space Flight Center's  Wallops Flight Facility Balloon Program Office.

Its Texas location put the NSBF in the middle of the area where the debris from the Space Shuttle Columbia dropped to Earth on February 1, 2003. In February 2006, the NSBF was renamed the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in honor of the Crew of STS-107.

CSBF Ballooning

Balloon

CSBF conventional and long duration (LDB) balloons are made of 20 micrometer thick polyethylene film, and at float have a diameter of up to  and a volume of up to . The balloons are filled with helium gas, can carry payloads up to , fly at altitudes of up to , and can remain at float in excess of 40 days.

The balloons are zero pressure difference balloons, and are vented at the bottom. They are only partially inflated when launched, and as they rise up, the lower atmospheric pressure causes them to fully inflate.

The bottom of the balloon is attached to a parachute, which is then attached by steel suspension cables to the payload. A flight is terminated by firing an explosive squib which separates the parachute from the balloon. A rip line simultaneously tears open the top of the balloon. The balloon quickly deflates and falls to the ground, to be retrieved and disposed of (balloons are single use). The payload descends, suspended by the parachute, and is recovered by the ground crew.

Conventional payloads typically have a float duration at altitude of 72+ hours. Long Duration Ballooning payloads float at durations of 42+ days. Ultra long duration balloons (ULDB) are being developed which can operate at float for +100 days. The limiting factor is the diurnal cycle of the sun, rising and setting. Heat during the day causes the balloon to expand and gain altitude, thereby losing helium. Heat loss at night causes the balloon to sink and contract. Ballast is carried to overcome the effect. Flying in a polar region during full sunlight allows more negligible altitude variations.

ULDB balloons or superpressure balloons (SPB) are sealed to prevent helium loss and have a pumpkin shape at flight altitude.  The SPB TRAVALB-2 surpassed previous Antarctic balloon flights by staying aloft for 149 Days, 3 hours, and 58 minutes after launch from the NASA Long Duration Balloon (LDB) site at LDB Camp, McMurdo Station, Antarctica. The operation was supported by  National Science Foundation and United States Antarctic Program.    After the Travalb-1 launch abort, the Travalb-2 lifted off on 29 December 2019 to test NASA balloon trajectory predictions in Antarctica and to study electron losses from Earth's radiation belts.

Preparation, Launch, and Flight
A balloon flight involves both the CSBF and a scientific team(s). The CSBF determines the launch site based on scientific goals, and provides local preparation facilities, a balloon(s), launch and recovery vehicles, and personnel to support the logistical aspects of pre flight, flight, and post flight activities. Scientific teams ship a payload to the launch site, and set up a small field station to assemble their equipment, make last-minute preparations, and manage the experiment during flight. The payload is typically a large instrument or cluster of instruments, plus onboard computers, radio telemetry equipment, and ballast.

Launching a balloon requires the conjunction of light low-level winds (to comply with the limitations of the CSBF dynamic launch technique) and suitable upper-level winds (so the balloon remains within telemetry range of a ground station, and within the permitted flight region). The payload may be rolled out to the launch area several times before surface and upper atmosphere conditions are acceptable for launch.

During the flight, data is transmitted to the ground for quick-look analysis, and is usually recorded on board as well. Scientists on the ground usually actively control the payload. An astronomical telescope, for example, can be real time directed toward a variety of sources for observations, or left in an autonomous mode of operation.

Launch Sites
CSBF launches balloons from several sites in the world, depending on the needs of the experiment they carry. Sites include:
Palestine, Texas
Fort Sumner, New Mexico
McMurdo Station, Antarctica
Alice Springs, Australia
Esrange, Sweden
Fairbanks, Alaska
Lynn Lake, Manitoba
Wanaka, New Zealand

Backup Control Center
Since 2017, CSBF has been designated as the Backup Control Center (BCC) for the International Space Station's Mission Control Center (MCC) in Houston, TX. Approximately 3 hours from Houston, CSBF provides facilities that NASA can utilize for short-term control of the ISS in case MCC is evacuated. The BCC was temporarily activated in August 2020 while the Johnson Space Center prepared for Hurricane Laura.

Strange pagination issue

Rewrite Rules
needs-patch needs-unit-tests
I am facing strange pagination issue in WordPress. I could replicate it on other major WordPress websites as well apart from the one I am working on.
If you check this website: https://highlandexpeditions.com/blog/, everything works fine. Pagination works fine too.
However, if you visit https://highlandexpeditions.com/blog/2/, you will get the same page as https://highlandexpeditions.com/blog/. But the pagination links are ruined. You will have pagination links like (https://highlandexpeditions.com/blog/2/page/2/, https://highlandexpeditions.com/blog/2/page/3/) which goes to 404 page.
I think WordPress should show 404 for https://highlandexpeditions.com/blog/2/ rather than showing https://highlandexpeditions.com/blog/.
I don't think it has anything to do with themes or plugin. Because another popular website like https://www.wpbeginner.com/blog/ has the same issue. If you visit this URL (https://www.wpbeginner.com/blog/2/), you will find its pagination URL is wrong. I am able to replicate it on other websites as well.

Hi @sachittandukar, thanks for opening a ticket.
This seems similar to #28081, but likely different enough to have its own ticket. That deals with the paged query variable and this deals with page. This was partially fixed in #11694, which introduced the current page checking in [34492].
There are (at least) two ways in which this presents itself:
First: when a request is made to any is_singular() post/page with /2/ appended to the URL, WordPress checks for an instance of <!--nextpage--> in the content. If it exists, and it matches the page number, $success is set to true and the page is loaded. If the next page marker does not exist, there is no current check that flags the content for 404 if a page number is part of the URL. For that, we could do something like 45337.diff to return a 404 if content is not paged.
Second: (highlighted in the ticket description), when a page is set as the page_for_posts, is_singular() is false and the logic handling <!--nextpage--> is skipped entirely. Earlier in the process, the query object was populated with posts, so as far as handle_404() is concerned, is_home() is true and the page can be loaded as is. The fix for this seems a little more complicated and _could_ be handled earlier in the process.

#48972 was marked as a duplicate.


Since my anniversary was yesterday, I decided to spotlight weddings all week. I couldn't help but post my wedding cake today for "Sweet Indulgences." Afterall, who doesn't love wedding cake? I made my bouquet and table arrangements with succulents and decided to use them as my cake topper as well. I had a lot of fun going to the nursery and selecting them myself. I brought them to the pastry chef who created the cake, which was also yummy ... raspberry shortcake!
I love using mini succulents on wedding cakes! I've also started seeing decorators making some out of sugar to go along-side the real ones.


You will know that you have received the update on your account when you open up weather in the launcher and see a panel asking if you want to add it to your Home screen. Once you tap Add button, you will have a sunshine looking icon added to your Home screen which you can treat like any other app shortcut. That is, you can put it in a folder, move it to different pages on your Home screen and the like. Tapping the icon will take you to the weather page to get current conditions, forecasts and so forth. By default it will take you to your current location's weather information but if you want to search for another city, just enter that city's name into the search bar and you'll get that information.
If you haven't checked out the new weather information in Google Now, it is pretty impressive in the details it provides. By default in Google Now, you will get the weather information for the day including the high and low temperatures and current conditions. You can then use the down arrow at the bottom of the sheet to open up the full page and get a wealth of information. First, you can get the weather information for tomorrow and a 10 day forecast by using the tabs at the top of the sheet. This page will change in color and the graphics shown based on the conditions outside. Second, if you scroll down, you can get information like the Dew Point, atmospheric pressure, UV index and visibility. Below that you will find an air quality meter and finally a sunrise & sunset graphic that lets you know the sunrise, sunset and hours of sunlight you will get today.
While the weather in Google Now won't necessarily replace a weather app like AccuWeather or The Weather Channel app, it does give you a quick way to access weather information while you are on-the-go.
There is no update to the Google Now Launcher required for this update. It is on the back end at Google.

Q: Trouble running RubyGems on Redhat 5.5 Am trying to install Ruby and RubyGems on a RedHat 5.5 machine. I'd got them by running the following two commands:
sudo yum install ruby
sudo yum install rubygems

Got both installed. However when i try to run gem, i got the following error:

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in
  require': undefined methodend_with?' for "no such file to load --
  Win32API":String (NoMethodError)
          from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/config_file.rb:55
          from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:29:in

          from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:29:inrequire'
          from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:8

          from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:29:inrequire'
          from /usr/bin/gem:9

Doesn't matter what kind of command i run, it throws that. (I tried gem -v, gem update)
The version of Ruby seems to be 1.8 but i have problem determining the RubyGems version. I'd vi into rubygems.rb and at the top it stats the version as 1.5.
Try to fix by running the downgrade command as proposed here, but it throws the same error as well.
Any help on fixing this issue? Just want to get this running so that i can run a RoR apps..

A: RedHat 5 ships with Ruby 1.8.5 and an equally old rubygems. Both, the rubygems and the ruby version is WAY too old to be supported by anything outside the base packages of the OS anymore. Even in the OS packages, they probably won't change anything on their own due to the age of their whole system.
If you really want/have to use Ruby on Red Hat 5, you probably need to get another source for it that the RPMs provided by the OS, e.g. rbenv / ruby-build or ruby-install or even rvm. You should use a newer Ruby version, i.e. a 2.1 or 2.2 version. All Ruby versions < 2.0 are unsupported by the language developers by now.
Alternatively, you should try to use a newer version of RedHat, i.e. RedHat 7 which doesn't need to support to 8 year old software...

A: Suspicious here is that yum installed ruby 1.8 which is pretty outdated version, it seems you have two versions of ruby on your system now and gem tries to use the old one.
Check the version of the package installed recently and try to force rubygems to use the new version(by removing the old ruby or linking to the path returned by which ruby)

For Wagenborg, the Dortmund-Ems channel in Münster is no unfamiliar territory. In 2015 Wagenborg installed a temporary bridge over the channel. Afterwards, in 2016 the new 'Schillerstrassen-Brücke' was installed. This year Wagenborg had the Lährer Landweg Brücke planned. This is the second new bridge forming part of the Dortmund-Ems channel expansion. A total of eight new bridges will be installed over the course of the following years.
Before the Lährer Landweg Brücke can be installed next year, the existing 1957 bridge must be removed and demolished. For this task the successful tandem of 'Wagenborg Towage en Wagenborg Nedlift' was called in once more. Together they have proven to be able to (de)install various bridges professionally under different circumstances.
For this project, Wagenborg Towage deployed its two newest pontoons: Wagenborg Barge 14 and Wagenborg Barge 15. Both pontoons – built at Royal Niestern Sander shipyard – have a length of 65 m, a width of 11.4 m and a draught of 3.25 m. A unique characteristic of these pontoons is the fact that they can be mutually linked to form one large pontoon with a total width of 22.8 m. The pontoons were deployed in Münster in this configuration.
The two 10 axle SPMT's on the linked pontoon were fitted with supporting beams. The pontoon was positioned under the bridge and anchored on the bank of the channel with four winches. Next it was a matter of lifting the pontoon in order for the beams on the SPMT's to support the bridge. To achieve this, Wagenborg pumped the ballast water out of the pontoon. After the bridge rested firmly on the supporting beams, the pillars were cut. This left the bridge lying unrestraint across the pontoon. In order to safely transport the bridge to the nearest port, the SPMT's were used to quarter turn the removed bridge on the pontoon.

Argo, the Kubernetes-Native Workflow Engine, Joins the CNCF
CI/CD / DevOps / Kubernetes
20 Apr 2020 1:30pm, by Mike Melanson
Earlier this month, the Argo Project, a container-native workflow engine for Kubernetes to deploy and run jobs and applications, joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an incubation-level hosted project.
By joining the CNCF, the Argo project hopes to more closely work with a number of projects that are already members of the foundation, and to "empower organizations to declaratively build and run cloud native applications and workflows on Kubernetes using GitOps," Intuit VP of Product Development Pratik Wadher said in a statement.
Argo was originally created in 2017 at Applatix before being acquired by Intuit, and the project already integrates with or uses a number of CNCF projects, including gRPC, Prometheus, NATS, Helm, and CloudEvents. The four sub-projects that comprise Argo include Argo Workflows, a container-native workflow engine for Kubernetes supporting both DAG and step-based workflows, Argo Events, an event-based dependency manager to trigger workflows and applications, Argo CD, which supports declarative GitOps-based continuous delivery of any Kubernetes resource, and Argo Rollouts, which provides declarative progressive delivery strategies such as canary and blue-green deployments.
Wadher explained in an email how teams at Intuit pieced together tools before Argo to try to create the same effect.
"We had disparate deployment tools across the many business units and there was no standard method of deploying software across Intuit. Some development teams used CI tools like Jenkins to 'script' their deployment process and others used Spinnaker while yet others used homegrown tools and stitched multiple pieces together," wrote Wadher. "Obviously, these disparate tools didn't work and, at best, provided a sub-optimal developer experience as we moved to a platform based on Kubernetes. For example, these approaches would have required giving Jenkins access to production systems creating security risks and making the deployments complex and error-prone."
While there might be a desire to compare Argo to a continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, Wadher explained that it is "much more" than that, and that it is "unique in providing a set of Kubernative-native GitOps-based tools that integrate deployment and running of jobs, events and services into a single framework." With its included single sign-on (SSO), role-based access control (RBAC), and audit and security functionality, Argo tailors its capabilities for enterprises running large, multicluster Kubernetes deployments, explained Wadher. Furthermore, its scalability, DAG support, and artifact management, he sais, have made it "very popular in the ML and Data community."
Specifically, Argo was created to be a Kubernetes-native tool that would use Git as the single source of truth, wherein developers could push commits and avoid manual deployments, as well as the errors that come alongside them.
"Developers can deploy their application to multiple clusters and monitor and troubleshoot their applications centrally without logging into Kubernetes. Furthermore, Argo CD automates the rollbacks of applications to a previous state as well," writes Wadher. "That greatly reduces the burden on the developers and they are now much more confident in pushing changes to production in the middle of a day. With Argo CD, our developers, on average, do more than 200 deployments a day to production compared to each deployment taking multiple days before. "
Looking ahead, Wadher said that the future for Argo would largely be decided by the community, but that MLOps and continuous and progressive delivery would be the two main areas of focus. For MLOps, he expects a better integration between Argo Events and Workflows, with better monitoring and reporting. On the other point, he said the project plans full support for progressive delivery, with integrations for numerous service meshes, as well as the extension of the "GitOps paradigm" to manage all computational methodologies including, batch, event-based and services, as well as control plane elements in Kubernetes.
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation is a sponsor of The New Stack.

Impromptu discussions about the feasibility of a country club for Pittston (Luzerne County, just about halfway between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre) took place at a number of small, informal gatherings prior to the war and then in the months following the Armistice. The movement gathered momentum early in 1920 and finally crystallized at a meeting held in Pittston on May 25,1920. Present were the following: Joseph Aschenbrand, Charles Berry, Charles Craig, C. P. Delahanty, W. M. Fay, Frank M. Foy, M.J. Frey, T. A. Gibbons, Dr. E. M. Holmes, W. E. Kearney, W. J. Kilgallen, Robert W. Langford, Dr. H. J. Lenahan, J. O'D. Mangan, Max Markus, H. J. Mullin, Sigmund Samuels, M. Schlosser, W. C. Sutherland, Dr. S. L. Underwood, A. T. Walsh, and K. P. Wilde.
A site selection committee and a membership committee were appointed. Both went to work with a will. Encouragingly, it soon became apparent that the interest in joining was scarcely confined to residents of Pittston; there were many from Scranton and Wilkes-Barre who found Fox Hill Country Club a very appealing opportunity.
Almost a month after the May 25 meeting, and after exploring a number of possibilities, the club chose its site, a rolling tract with an abundance of trees in what is now called Exeter. That was on June 23. On August 2, Scottish-born John Reid was retained to lay out and build a nine-hole course, which, most of the founding members believed, would surely be sufficient to meet the club's needs for many years to come.
The first official meeting of the membership was held on September 24,1920, with 43 members on hand. Then it was that a permanent organization was established and that the club's first officers and first board of governors was elected. Named to the key posts were Frank M. Foy, president; William J. Peck, vice president; Robert W. Langford, secretary; and W. C. Sutherland, treasurer. Joining these four men on the board of governors were Joseph Aschenbrand, W.M. Fay, W.E. Kearney, W. J. Kilgallen, J. L. Peck, and A. T. Walsh.
In the weeks that followed, with progress on the construction of the course now something tangible, something to be seen and savored by all who envisioned themselves taking up the game, interest in joining Fox Hill escalated sharply. By the end of this, the founding year— and with the nine holes still four or five months from completion—the club could point to a roster of 232 members.
On April 29, 1921, the course officially opened for play. Seven months later, on Thanksgiving Day, the clubhouse, which had been under construction for some months, welcomed its first members. By that time, however, it was already obvious that the nine-hole course was inadequate. Congestion had become a serious problem, particularly on weekends. A year later, A.W. Tillinghast was commissioned to lay out and build a second nine and to remodel the existing first nine.
The Tillinghast eighteen opened in the summer of 1924. Representing not only an enormous step beyond the rather unsophisticated Reid nine but also the work of one of the country's four or five most esteemed course architects, it was wholeheartedly embraced by the membership. Now they could boast of a full eighteen, one of championship length (some 6,400 yards) and replete with challenge. As for the mine caves, whether come upon in the fairway or the rough, they offered the player a free lift (a local rule one would certainly expect at a founding club of the Anthracite Golf Association).
Fox Hill, like virtually every club, would have to struggle to keep its head above water during the Depression. Fortunately, it had John A. Allan, a wealthy businessman, to lead the crusade. Allan served as president through the very depths of the Depression—1935,1936,1937—determined to see to it, by dint of his personal resources, his influence in the community, and his force of character, that Fox Hill would remain a functioning private country club. With the support of a loyal though reduced membership, he was successful.
Of more than passing interest is the fact that precisely 75 years after its founding. Fox Hill Country Club would, in 1995, become a member of the Golf Association of Philadelphia.

Cadiz city guide: Where to eat, drink, shop and stay in Spain's oldest port
Located in the Andalusia region of southwestern Spain, Cadiz has so far escaped the grips of mass tourism. Stroll down the cobbled streets and, refreshingly, you'll hear only the sound of Spanish locals. But its sandy beaches, Cuban-inspired architecture and ancient history make it an appealing choice for a city break.
At over 3,000 years old, it's also thought to be the oldest city in western Europe, becoming a vital trading hub as well as one of Spain's wealthiest cities during the 18th century. Now, it's best known for its watchtowers – there are roughly 100 scattered around the city – and James Bond, where it stood in for Cuba during the filming of Die Another Day.

Playa de la Victoria and Playa de la Caleta are the two main beaches to visit. James Bond fans should head to Playa de la Caleta in the old town, as this is where Halle Berry famously emerged from the sea in Die Another Day.
Playa de la Victoria runs along the arm of Cadiz, below the historical peninsula. It's popular with locals and consistently awarded Blue Flag status. There are plenty of restaurants, hotels and bars along the promenade, too.

Museo de Cadiz
Learn about the port's colourful history through a selection of paintings, statues and artefacts in the city's museum. Although fairly small, it will tell you everything you need to know, from Cadiz being discovered by the Phoenicians thousands of years ago, to its evolution into its modern day incarnation.
The museum is open during the summer from 9am-9pm Tuesday to Saturday and 10am-3pm on Sundays. Free entry for EU citizens; otherwise admission €1.50 (0034 856 10 50 23).
Take a walk
This historic port has a distinct Latin American vibe, which you can only fully appreciate by getting lost within the jumble of narrow streets. For roughly an hour's walk, start at the main tourist information centre opposite the train station and head for Santa Domingo convent church, which dates back to 1666. Then, head to Plaza de la Catedral to see Cadiz Cathedral and the ruins of Arco de la Rosa. Next, head to Torre Tavira, the port's main watchtower, and finally stroll north into the city centre and the main shopping district.

See a flamenco show
Flamenco dancing is said to have originated in the Cadiz province and it's still hugely popular there today. Watch the high energy performances and intricate guitar playing for yourself by going to one of the many shows on offer in the old town. La Cava Taberna Flamenco puts on a truly authentic experience, with tickets available for €22.
Hotel Convento Cadiz is a 17th century convent in the centre of the old town that has been transformed into a boutique hotel. Retaining many of its original features, including vaulted ceilings and a beautiful interior courtyard, it's a charming place to rest your head. Doubles from €58, room only.
For something ultra-modern, Parador de Cadiz, which is located next to Genovés Park, has beautiful ocean views, an outdoor swimming pool and spa. Rooms are bright and spacious and it's only a five-minute walk to the beach. Doubles from €125, room only.
Barcelo Montecastillo is a quiet bolthole away from Cadiz's centre (Barceló Montecastillo)
Barceló Montecastillo, located in the neighbouring town of Jerez, is a great choice for families. You can venture into central Cadiz during the day but escape to the peaceful Andalusian countryside in the evening. This five-star hotel has a relaxed vibe with plenty of activities to keep kids entertained. Doubles from €88, room only.
You can't go to Cadiz without trying some fried fish from one of the many freidurias. Join the queue at Freiduria Las Flores in Plaza Topete and order the mixed selection. It's always busy but the food doesn't disappoint.

Another essential stop is Cafe Royalty, which at the turn of the 20th century welcomed renowned writers, politicians and artists. After closing in the 1930s, its lavish decor was lovingly restored in 2008. Stop for breakfast or brunch and admire the intricate paintings while trying its speciality dish, Picatostes Gaditonas (deep fried bread).
Quilla Beach Bar sits above Playa de la Caleta and next to a 17th century fortress, making it a great spot to sip on a sangria at sunset and enjoy the view. There's a tapas menu if you're hungry, too.
Sup on sherry at Taberna La Manzanilla (Taberna La Manzanilla)
For something a little livelier, head to Casa Manteca, where the walls are covered in flamenco and bullfighting memorabilia, and every possible type of cured pork hangs above the bar.
Taberna La Manzanilla is the place to try a sherry or two. It's a family-run tavern dating back to the 1930s and the walls are lined with different bottles of all sizes and ages. Ask for a manzanilla, a type of fino sherry, and pull up a pew.
Calle Columela is the main shopping street in Cadiz and has everything from high street brands such as Zara and Mango to small boutiques and gift shops. The streets of Novena, Ancha and Compania are also worth a look, the latter having a more boho feel.
Mercado Central is the place to pick up Spanish produce (Getty Images)
For traditional Spanish cuisine, try Mercado Central, a colourful indoor food market, where you can buy everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to cured meat, wine and cheese. Sample the dishes as you work your way around or sit and enjoy a tapas meal in the (limited) seating area. It shuts at around 3pm daily but the surrounding restaurants are a great alternative if you arrive too late.
Architectural highlight
Dominating the port's skyline with its striking 19th century structure is Cadiz Cathedral, its golden dome sparkling in the sunlight. Visit the crypt where local composer Manuel de Falla is buried or climb the east tower for an impressive view of the city. During the summer, it's open from 10am-9pm Monday to Saturday or 1.30-9pm on Sundays; entry €5.

What currency do I need?
What language do they speak?
Spanish.
Should I tip?
Around 10 per cent.
What's the time difference?
Cadiz is one hour ahead of the UK.
What's the average flight time from the UK?
The closest airport is in Jerez, a 30-minute drive away – the flight time from London is just under three hours. Alternatively, you can fly into Seville, which has a 2 hour 45 minute flight time from London and is an hour and 20 minutes from Cadiz by car.
Get around by foot – everything you'll want to see is within walking distance.
Take a trip to the top of the official watchtower of Cadiz, Torre Tavira. The building is surprisingly easy to miss from street level but climb the spiral stairs to the roof and you're met with a panoramic view of the port and Atlantic Ocean beyond. It's open daily from 10am-8pm May to September (10am-6pm otherwise); entry €6.
Escape the beach and head to the tranquillity of Genovés Park, a botanical garden between the old town and the Atlantic Ocean on the most western tip of Cadiz. The beautiful surroundings are a favourite with locals, who you'll find taking a siesta under the shade of a tree or meeting for lunch in the small outdoor cafe. Open daily 8am-9pm.

Fleabites make most pets itch. But some dogs and cats are allergic to the pests. Your doctor may call this flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) or fleabite hypersensitivity. If your pet has a flea allergy, "even one or two fleabites can make your pet miserable," says Carol Osborne, DVM, a veterinarian at Chagrin Falls Veterinary Center in Chagrin Falls, OH.
Plenty of things can help.
"Your pet may itch for up to 2 weeks after a bite, and the itching will be severe and even damaging to your pet's skin," Osborne says.
A rash on your pet's skin or raw, irritated, or bleeding areas on your pet's body. Dogs usually have it near their back legs, stomach, or tail area. Cats are more likely to have it near their neck and face.
This isn't a one-and-done kind of thing. It's a process.
Step 1: See your pet's veterinarian. Don't assume that because you can't see any fleas, your dog or cat doesn't have a flea allergy. Often, animals with one groom themselves constantly. They may remove any fleas from their bodies -- but the allergic reaction from bites can last for weeks.
A vet will check your pet's fur and skin thoroughly. He'll check for fleas and "flea dirt," which is flea poop that looks like pepper flakes. It often turns red when it's wet. If the vet suspects another cause for your pet's itching, she may order certain blood or skin tests to be sure. She'll also make sure that your dog or cat doesn't have any open wounds.
"If a pet is itching or chewing on itself a lot, bacteria or yeast can get into the skin and cause an infection," says Elizabeth A. Layne, DVM, a clinical instructor of dermatology and allergy at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Step 2: Break the cycle. Putting an end to your pet's flea allergy means getting rid of fleas. Though they're more common in warmer months, fleas can live year-round indoors. Once they lay eggs, new fleas hatch and then lay more eggs, which means your pet is constantly exposed.
Medication is only half the battle. Fleas don't actually live on animals. They live in carpets, bedding, and other surfaces in your home and jump onto your pet to eat. That's why it's important to wash your bedding, your pet's bedding, and your throw rugs with detergent and warm water.
To remove fleas, flea eggs, and larvae, vacuum your carpets, larger rugs, and chair and sofa cushions. Empty the vacuum bag or canister afterward. Make sure to do it outside, or they could get back into your living space.
You may have seen onion or garlic tablets marketed for pet flea relief, but they can be toxic to dogs and cats. Skip essential oils and products that contain them, too.
"They can be very irritating to an animal's skin, especially for a pet with a flea allergy," Layne says.

Back in black - The Stranglers will soon be setting off on their annual March tour
Jean-Jacques Burnel talks to Martin Neal ahead of the band's return to Essex
Martin NealSenior Story Editor (Print)
Updated 15:00, 25 JAN 2018

For a weekly roundup of the latest food, drink, and entertainment news, as well as things to do sign up to our newsletter
They've been there, rewritten the book and ripped up the T-shirt – yet more than 40 years later, The Stranglers are still releasing meaningful albums and playing to packed-out audiences.
The Men In Black's annual March tour – which as usual comes to Essex – is just around the corner but they've got the small matter of a trip Down Under to Australia and New Zealand before that.
Veterans of the music scene they may be, but these guys have no intention of slowing up.
The Stranglers strutted and snarled their way to prominence at the height of punk in the 1970s but they've developed, evolved and ridden slipshod over fashions and fads as the decades have passed.
They survived the departure of front man Hugh Cornwell and the retirement of elder statesman Jet Black who, rather incredibly, turns 80 this year, yet the passion, commitment and enthusiasm is still there – from both the band and their fans.
Jean-Jacques Burnel on stage with The Stranglers (Image: Chris Rushton)
"The March tour is an integral part of our year," explained bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel. "We go all over the world but the UK March tour is part of our DNA now.
"I know a lot of people look forward it to much that they book annual leave in March – they take two weeks off work so they can follow the band and that is the reason we do this.
"When you first start out you form a band and you think 'I might get a gig in a pub or a community centre' and then when you've done that you think 'God knows, we might do a demo'.
"Then when you've got that piece of plastic in your hand, you think 'someone might play this and the public might like it'.
Dread are alive - now get yourself in the Zone
"They do like it and people start coming to your gigs and think 'they're alright' and before you know it you think '**** me, I've had a really meaningful career for the last 40 years'!"
The Stranglers were always a cut above must of the bands lumped in the punk bracket, but JJ seems genuinely surprised and the band's longevity.
"I've gone way past every ambition I had," he admitted. "Music wasn't a 'career' – it was something you did for a couple of years and enjoyed it.
"But we've been able to ride fashion and technology and a lot of our audience have stayed with us and we've grown up together."
Take a look around the crowd at a Stranglers gig and it's not all comb-over mohicans, beer bellies and faded Abrasive Wheels tattoos, though. Far from it.
"All the stuff we went through 40 years ago is seen as a badge of honour now," said JJ. "Stuff is so sterile today and programmes like the X Factor are so fabricated.
"A certain percentage of youngsters can see that so they want to come along and see us, warts and all."
The continuing evolution of the band must have helped too. Listen to the growling Black and White, the unearthly Gospel According to the Meninblack and the acoustic Feline and it's almost impossible to believe the same band had produced each.
A brand new live music venue is opening in Chelmsford
"That's is it a nutshell," exclaims JJ with a rather pleasing seal of approval. "You are not the same person as you were 40 years ago but you are still you.
"My means of communication is music and song so, over a 40-year period, I have changed as person too and my music reflects the type of person I am now. It would be completely wrong to write now what I was writing 30 years ago."
They're still working on new material and JJ says fans on the forthcoming tour can expect to hear some "brand new material" – although not more than one or two songs.
There will also be a few numbers that rarely get played plus also a large helping of old favourites ("they are what bind us together").
"If the set is dominated by new stuff, it puts people off," said JJ, "and it's arrogant. People come to hear songs they know and a style of music that is still good for them." Hear, hear JJ.
So that's what we can expect from the band at the Cliffs Pavilion…. But what can they expect when they come to Southend?
Well JJ's French parents famously owned a restaurant in his youth so he knows a thing or two about fine food – so one of his best memories of Southend might surprise you!
Bishop's Stortford music festival The Bish-Bash to return 'bigger and better than ever' in May with Wilko Johnson and The Bluetones headlining
"I remember looking out of my room and seeing the pier," he explained looking back at the band's last visit. "Baz (Warne, the band's guitarist and singer) and I went for a walk and we went to a place, which I believe is quite well known, and I had a steak pie with liquor poured over it. I thought it was fabulous! For me it was quite exotic!"
The Stranglers, supported by Therapy? play at the Cliffs Pavilion on Tuesday, March 20.

Intertidal Wetlands-Geography Assignment
Hunter Gibson
The area is home to the saltwater plant 'Lanthanum tokens'. The plant is found in only four known areas, the Sydney Bicentennial Park wetland being one of these areas. The size of the wetland ecosystem has decreased significantly due to human advancement and land use. The once abundant shoreline has been dramatically altered disrupting the ecosystem. This impact has led to traditional and contemporary management strategies being utilized for protection and conservation of the intertribal wetland for the future fauna, flora and people.
The traditional indigenous cultures, specifically the Wang Clan, have a close affiliation with the land. Not only did it provide plentiful resources for their arrival, their religious beliefs illustrate them as the caretakers of the land. They were able to appreciate the area and understand its value, unlike the contemporary industrialized societies. The intertribal wetland offered an esteemed hunting ground but the Aboriginal people did not abuse the fragile environment. Their aim was to nurture the land for the benefit of future generations and they only took what they needed.
The Wang Clan showed their most respect for the wetland, their appreciation towards the area led to minimal disruption and efficient use of the resources. Indigenous Australians also involved themselves in long term management procedures. They would artificially fertilize flowers and seed river flats. This practices would re-establish plant populations and replace the resources that they may have used. Aboriginal Australians would also create breeding places for animals, for example they would dig pits that would eventually fill with water creating a breeding ground for frogs.
The greater part Of their management strategies were to conserve species of plants and animals. The traditional management strategies left a minimal footprint on the wetland ecosystem. Their methods were sustainable as they would replace the resources they'd use. The value of intertribal wetlands has become known only very recently. The lack of knowledge and ignorance of past generations, more notably developers, has led to substantial disruptions in the local ecosystem. The building of bund walls has had a significant effect on the hydrology of the site as it has modified the flow of water.
The change in flow reduced the amount of water getting to the mangroves and soil moisture in mangroves has decreased. The establishment of bund walls has ultimately led to destruction of the wetlands; in particular Wentworth Bay which no longer exists. A contemporary strategy to allow the ecosystem to return to its initial state is the removal of the bund walls. Though the removal of bund walls is of high cost, the final result of having the original flow of water reinstated is influential. The atmosphere in the intertribal wetland plays a significant role in the interactions of the biophysical environment.
The construction of non- linear walkways minimizes disturbances to the canopy and decreases wind handling often seen with linear walkways. The erection of walkways has also created a designated path to control the access to the ecosystem. There has been a massive reduction in disturbance of the area and the pathway protects the mangroves from unnecessary destruction. However, these wooden pathways are high maintenance and a low life span. The majority of the public are unaware of the importance of wetlands. Education campaigns have been influential in changing public perception and support for the preservation of the wetlands is increasing.
Bicentennial park provides education programs that include guided tours of the wetland to the public. As a contemporary management strategy education enables the public to realize the vital need to protect the wetlands. They are informed by information officers, education officers and field staff about the steps they can take to contribute to looking after the wetlands. The effectiveness of this contemporary management strategy is reasonably high. The involvement of the public is enormously important for the conservation of the Efficient nail park wetlands.
Human impacts on the Bicentennial intertribal wetlands have decreased as we become more knowledgeable of the importance of this ecosystem. Traditional and contemporary management strategies are utilized to conserve and protect the area. The genetic diversity of intertribal wetlands should be cherished and looked after. The contemporary management strategies have fought to combat the past negative impacts concerning the intertribal wetlands. These strategies were predominantly successful in preserving and conserving the genetic diversity of the Bicentennial Park intertribal wetland.
The Wang Clan's traditional management strategies allow an appreciation and understanding of the land. Their religious ties to the area give them a responsibility to care for the land that provides them the ability to live. After all the damage made in the past, the traditional and contemporary ecosystem management strategies of the Bicentennial intertribal wetland ecosystem are proving to encourage growth and repair. The conservation and sustainability of the land have consequently saved the ecosystem, though there is still a long way to go, the ecosystem has been salvaged for the future.

Not all Woodland Indians built longhouses. Some built wigwams.
A wigwam was a round building with a round top. It was made from tree logs, covered again with bark. Some were additionally covered with mats or hide. Some were quite large - about 6 feet long. There were huge rush mats in front of the fire, and brightly dyed mats on the walls. The women made the wigwam as colorful as they could. Extended families - kids, parents, and grandparents - all lived together in one wigwam.
A wigwam is not a tipi. A tipi is totally portable. It is made with long poles covered with hides. Some wigwams were fixed shelters. Some were a mix of permanent and portable.
The Ojibwa, for example, made their wigwams by covering a wood frame with hide and then covering the hide with bark. When an Ojibwa family moved to a new location, the hide was rolled up and taken with them. The frame stayed. When they returned the following year, or several years later, they simply unrolled the covering they always carried, and placed it on the frame. If a frame was not available, they would make a new one.

Thousands of people are expected to protest against labour reforms across France on Tuesday, the first widespread demonstrations of Emmanuel Macron's presidency. Some 180 protests are expected to take place in cities nationwide.
The protests are the first big public display of discontent with Macron's presidency, which began in May amid enthusiasm over his promises to reboot the French economy but is now foundering amid anger over the labour reforms and other domestic troubles.
The prominent CGT union is leading Tuesday's protests, calling for strikes and organising some 180 demonstrations against last labour reform plans unveiled last month by Macron's government.
Eiffel Tower employees planned a walkout, angry carnival workers halted traffic around Paris's famed Arc de Triomphe and Paris police braced for potential violence. At the Eiffel Tower, CGT union representative Denis Vavassori told The Associated Press that workers plan a walkout Tuesday afternoon, but it is unclear whether the monument will be forced to close or will stay partially open for tourists.
Dozens of big trucks drove at a snail's pace around the Arc de Triomphe, causing rush-hour traffic snarls as protesters danced and waved flags on a flat-bed truck with a severed plastic head from a funfair ride.
The workers said they timed their protest to coincide with Tuesday's broader labour demonstrations, since both movements are about workers fearing their jobs are at threat.
Meanwhile, thousands of union activists marched Tuesday morning in the Mediterranean city of Marseille, Le Havre on the English Channel, Rennes and in other cities.
An afternoon march is planned in Paris, where police announced extra deployments. While union marches are usually peaceful, troublemakers on the margins often clash with police. A broad movement against similar labour reforms last year saw several weeks of scattered violence.
The protests come amid anger at a comment last week by Macron suggesting that opponents of labour reform are "lazy". Government spokesman Christophe Castaner said on RTL radio Tuesday that Macron didn't mean to refer to the workers themselves but to the politicians who failed repeatedly to update French labour rules for a globalised age.

Q: Numpy: trouble obtaining a 2D slice of 3D array Similar questions have been asked on SO, but never in the form that I needed.
I seem to be having trouble understanding NumPy slicing behavior.
Lets say I have an Numpy Array of shape 512x512x120
vol1=some_numpy_array
print(x.shape) #result: (512,512,120)

I want to take a "z-slice" of this array, however I end up with a 512x120 array instead of a 512x512 one
I try the following code for instance
zSlice=(vol1[:][:][2]).squeeze()
print(zSlice.shape()) #result: (512,120)

Why is the resulting array shape (512,120) and not (512,512)? How can I fix this problem?

A: You have to slice at once:
vol1[:, :, 2].squeeze()

>>> vol1[:, :, 2].squeeze().shape
(512, 512)

Because doing [:] repeatedly doesn't do anything:
>>> (vol1[:][:] == vol1).all()
True
>>>

It's because [:] gets the whole of the list... doing it multiple times does not change anything.

A: The problem with vol1[:][:][2] is:
vol1[:] will give the entire array, then again [:] gives the entire array, and finally [2] gives the array at index 2 to in the outer axis, eventually vol1[:][:][2] is nothing but vol1[2] which is not what you want.
You need to take numpy array slice:
vol1[:, :, 2].

Now, it will take all the items from outermost, and outer axes, but only item at index 2 for the inner most axis.


Being too caught up in the fast life comes with being part of an urban environment, but so is being blinded to the harmful ways we contribute to increasing carbon emissions every day.
Today, finding space in your apartment for your own furniture is a tough task. Never mind a whole garden. But having a garden doesn't always mean having an open lawn where you're confused about which tree you want to plant where. If you're someone who lives in an apartment and has a small balcony, you can transform it into your own garden by adding hanging plants or by building a platform to place potted ones. If your apartment lacks a balcony, you can get small indoor potted plants, that help to provide your house with that beautiful nature aesthetic.
Plants absorb Carbon Dioxide and give out pure clean oxygen that is almost rare to find in a busy urban environment. Methods, like reducing the usage of concrete and providing bigger rings around trees to allow it some breathing space, should be considered on the municipal level while planning a city.
LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) are the modern-day replacements for halogen lights or filament bulbs. Not only are they long-lasting, but they are much more energy efficient and are cheaper than the regular lights.
Replacing the lights in your house by LED's will reduce the amount on your next electricity bill, but will also help reduce carbon emissions.
Cars are one of the biggest culprits in producing high amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Using public transport or carpooling are two very simple options that anyone can incorporate in their daily lifestyle. If travelling solo in your own car is a must, then think about investing in an electric car.
Making use of public transport and carpooling will reduce the amount of CO2 each person's personal vehicle would have emitted if they in their own cars.
One of the biggest steps you could take to fight climate change is to reduce your meat intake, especially red meat. Beef and Lamb produce a toxic global warming gas called methane.
If going vegetarian isn't an option then at least reduce the amount of meat you eat. This would lower the demand and hence, meat producers would stop manufacturing it on such a large scale. Hence, lowering the overall greenhouse gases emitted.
Solar power is an untapped source of mega-energy that if used cleverly, can help power even a small city. Our selfish thirst for fossil fuels now could endanger the future generations. Investing in simple solutions like lining the roof of your house or building with solar panels, can help decrease our dependence on non-renewable energy.
Incorporating even some of these techniques could have a huge impact on saving our planet.

Syrian Kurdish PYD urges action against Turkish bombing of Afrin
BEIRUT - The main Syrian Kurdish political party called on world powers to stop Turkey's bombardment of the Afrin region in northern Syria.
"Afrin will not be alone," the PYD said in a statement on Wednesday, vowing that all northern and eastern Syria would stand with it.Ankara has warned of an imminent military operation in Afrin, one of three autonomous cantons that Kurdish forces and their allies have set up since the start of Syria's conflict in 2011.

The Certified Responsible Antibiotic Use (CRAU) standard helps schools, hospitals, and other institutions choose poultry produced in a way that can help slow the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
To meet the CRAU standard, poultry producers must minimize their use of antibiotics that are important in human medicine. This helps reduce overall antibiotic use and ultimately slow the growth of drug-resistant superbugs that threaten human health worldwide.
Additionally, CRAU requires that antibiotics be used only when prescribed by a licensed veterinarian. It is the first and only industry standard addressing responsible antibiotic use for which conformance will be verified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Two of the nation's leading poultry producers now offer CRAU chicken, which many of the country's major school districts have committed to purchasing and serving. Chicken is the protein most frequently served in schools.
School Food FOCUS and The Pew Charitable Trusts announced a new standard for responsible antibiotic use in the production of chicken. By reducing the amount of antibiotics given to poultry, the standard could slow the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria in food animal production.


In his Variety obit for the late John Hurt, Owen Gleiberman notes that Hurt's extraordinary range always involved empathy for this characters, a prime example being "his mordant undertone of regret" as the professional killer in Stephen Frears' The Hit (1984).
The character was called Braddock, and Hurt's portrayal of this flinty fellow was a kind of game, in a sense. All through the film he did the standard taciturn and frosty thing, the proverbial ice-man, a void in his soul. And yet Braddock was almost entirely driven by emotion. The trick was to convey occasional spigots of the stuff beneath the tough-guy facade.
Braddock was cold, clipped, hard-boiled. Strictly a professional, always guarded, always with the shades. But Hurt's task in The Hit was to secrete little flickers of feeling, little hints of alone-ness and black humor or existential fear, and — during the third act — to convey hints of buried camaraderie and even compassion for Terrence Stamp's Willie Parker.
The fact that Braddock had a thing for Laura del Sol's Maggie wasn't so much conveyed by Peter Prince's script but by Hurt's extraordinary finesse. You eventually get the idea that Del Sol might be the great love of Braddock's life.
And the last thing Braddock does as he's dying at the end is to catch Del Sol's eye and slowly wink at her.
