Glasgow hosts disabled artists ahead of major disability conference
News Venues
Submitted by Stuart Wood on 7 August 2019
Glasgow's Lord Provost Eva Bolander sat for a portrait by Project Ability artists at the city's St Enoch Centre on 3 August.
Project Ability is a collective of artists with learning disabilities in Glasgow. Lord Provost is a role similar to mayor, convening local authorities in the city.
Bolander was promoting community engagement on the topic Future4All, the theme of the upcoming World Congress of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IASSIDD).
IASSIDD began yesterday, 6 August, at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC).
Project Ability learning disabled artists spent the day at the St Enoch shopping centre, which welcomed over 40,000 visitors. They showcased their artistic talents and offered free portraits to members of the public.
Elisabeth Gibson, executive artistic director, Project Ability, said: "Project Ability is excited to contribute to the IASSIDD World Congress in Glasgow. We really enjoyed organising the exhibition element of the event and felt it fitted perfectly with the Future4all theme. We work to inspire creativity and confidence in artists with learning disabilities so being part of this meant a lot to us, and our artists."
Aileen Crawford, head of conventions, Glasgow Convention Bureau, said: "People Make Glasgow Healthier is a platform for medical associations to really engage with the people of Glasgow through a varied range of activities. It's about bringing positive and informed health messages to our citizens and encouraging real-world interactions that extend beyond conference seminars to deliver a genuine and lasting legacy from hosting these meetings."

With this recipe tried and tested and liked by everyone, it feels like a mission is accomplished. Last year when on a sultry evening, after a 3 hours marathon monthly grocery shopping we surrendered ourselves to this ice cream...it felt like we died and reached ice cream heaven. If there is any term to experience anything with all your senses that happened with this ice cream. It was Deliciously creamy,eye soothingly beautiful and breathtakingly aromatic. the cup with a big scoop of this pale coral hued dessert with drippings of nolen gurer syrup has an instant cooling effect but the best part was the aroma, a smoky woody caremelised flavour of the gur, which even in such a horrific summer day brought back the memories of winter.
one spoonful and we were sold immediately. after that we had it almost every month on our monthly visit to that specific mall and everytime I promised myself to make it real soon. and today when I made it for the second time and patted my back for almost achieving the same taste am questioning myself why it took me so long.
One problem definitely was no ready made recipe. I checked everywhere on net, watched almost all the youtube videos but was not happy with the recipes. egg base will definitely suppress the delicate flavour of this gur and all eggless ice cream recipe vouched for the ice cream machine which I dont have. my search ended when I found this easy method by Mark Bittman. The recipe was simple and I knew I need to make a custard base first with corn starch.
So here is my humble attempt of making a sensational Bengali ice cream without an ice cream machine. I will urge you to at least try it once and if you do decide to make it, please do not try to make it healthy. some things are better unaltered and the cream in this recipe gives a smooth satiny feeling which you will never achieve with low fat milk. If you have an ice cream machine the result would be much smoother. With this recipe under my sleeves I know soon I would be successful to get one for myself too.
take the jaggery in a sauce pan add 1 tbsp water and place on low flame. The jaggery will start to melt, stir occasionally to get a smooth syrup. add one more tsp of water if you find the syrup is very thick. keep aside. You can either make all the syrup at one go and store a part of it to drizzle later or can make it separately. Just divide the jaggery the same way mentioned above and prepare the syrup the next day.
mix the corn starch with 1/4 cup milk. Use a whisk or a spoon to blend it smoothly. keep aside.
Mix the rest of the milk and cream in a heavy bottom pan. place on low flame and stir till it starts to simmer. mix the corn starch mixture once again and pour it in the cream mixture. whisk gently on low flame and the milk will start to thicken. do this for 2 minutes and the custard should reach the required consistency. to check the doneness dip a spoon in the custard. take it out and run your finger on its back, if it makes a clear trail and is not rejoined by the liquid your custard should be done. take off heat and place on a big bowl of ice cold water. gently whisk to cool it.
once it 's cold enough to handle (should be warm though) start adding the jaggery syrup. Use a whisk to make a smooth mixture. cool it for 10 more minutes and then pour in a flat metal tray. I used my 8" square cake tin. cover tightly with cling wrap and freeze.
after 2 hours take it out and using a fork start beating it. The idea here is to break as much ice Crystal as possible. cover and again freeze for 2 hrs. Do this at-least for 5 more times. Freeze over night and serve next day with some syrup drizzled on top.
For best result use full fat milk and dairy cream.
Start making it in the morning that way by night you would be able to whisk it 5-7 times.

Mekhala. dont use the readymade whipped cream. use cream in liquid form. the fat content should be min. 25%.
I love date palm jaggery! This ice cream must be so delicious. Do you think it can be made using regular jaggery?
Mustardseeds. you can definitley make with regular jaggery but the usp of this dish is the smoky sweet intense flavour of the date palm jaggery. dont think you will get that.
Delicious and interesting ice cream. Bookmarked!!
lovely and cool ice creams...the best!!!
Thanks Sayantani for this ice cream recipe,was dying to have it once more since its not available to me locally,I can now make it,thanks to you. Would really appreciate if you could drop at my blog space and follow it.
Yesterday I tasted this ice cream at a Bengali restaurant, got hooked, came home googled for it, landed here, am going to try this as soon as I get some date palm jaggery..
Hello, jut wanted to tell you, I loved this post. It was practical.
Pretty component of content. I simply sfumbled upon your blog and inn accession capital to say that I gget inn fact loved account your blog posts.
Anyway I will be subscribing for your feeds or even I success yoou get right of enry to constantly rapidly.
Hi Sayantanidi. Fabulous recipe. Can I use only cream instead of the milk with cornflour. I find milk and cornflour gives ice crystals no matter what you do.
Can I use only cream instead of milk n cornflour?
Abundance A, yes you can.
I was surfing online for desserts to make with nolen gur and I chanced upon your wonderful blog. I am sure I will keep coming back.
However, I have a problem. I have followed all the steps here to the T, and yet the ice cream mixture doesn't seem to be freezing at all. Is it because I used the liquid form of the gur? Could that have something to do with the still-runny consistency? Is there a way for me to sort this out?
Hoping you can get back before I get greedy and decide to finish off the ice cream mixture as it is.

Can Coronavirus Spread Through Building Pipes?
February 14, 2020 - Contact FacilitiesNet Editorial Staff »
By Greg Zimmerman Emergency Preparedness
The coronavirus outbreak is already a nightmare scenario, leaving many facility managers to double- and triple-check emergency management plans for infectious diseases. But a new issue that played out in a building in Hong Kong may add to what is already keeping facilities managers up at night: The virus may be able to spread through a building's pipework.
Two people were infected with the deadly virus, one of whom had an unsealed pipe in her bathroom, and lived 10 floors below a previously infected patient, according to Newsweek. This has led to concern that the virus spread through the pipework. Four other residents of the building in three other units also have shown symptoms of the virus. As a precautionary measure, more than 100 residents have since been evacuated from the 35-story facility that's home to more than 3,000 people.
Officials aren't positive the virus spread through the pipes — it could've been the "usual" methods. But Hong Kong's government is investigating the pipes in the facility to determine if that method of transmission is possible.
A virus spreading through building pipes is extremely uncommon, but not without precedent, according to LiveScience. In 2003, officials found that the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus had spread through "faulty plumbing" in at least one instance.

Heart of a Priest
by Rodney Pelletier • ChurchMilitant.com • August 4, 2021
St. John Vianney, patron of parish priests
Being a Catholic is an all-out spiritual war, something the Cure of Ars, the nickname for St. John Vianney, understood well.
In 1790, France was reeling from the Reign of Terror — when Freemasons overthrew the king, murdering priests and religious.
Vianney was born in 1787 to Catholic parents who were faithful and devout. His family traveled far to attend Mass secretly as priests were still being hunted by the satanic government. John thus understood and admired the priests' heroism and their willingness to risk their lives in order to bring Christ to the people.
He was taught Catechism in the home by two nuns who were secretly teaching the Faith. At 13 years old, he received his first Holy Communion in a kitchen during a neighbor's house Mass.
His earliest experiences taught him how Catholics must militantly retain and pass on the glories of the Faith.
Fast-forward years later, he was ordained a priest in August 1815 and made priest of the small town of Ars in 1818. Partly due to the French Revolution, the people there devolved into lives of debauchery and hatred of sacred things.
He once remarked, "A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind." The saint's priesthood testified to the veracity of this statement.
At first, he preached homilies to just a few women who attended daily Mass, but in a short time, people came from all over France to hear him. Besides administering the sacraments, including spending up to 16 hours a day hearing confessions, he taught Catechism and started an orphanage for girls.
He would retreat to his rectory for dinner, frequently allowing it to become spoiled before eating it. Then, when going to get a few hours of rest, the demons would appear to him, shake his bed and set it on fire.
In his homilies, he did not hesitate to warn people they were hurling themselves headlong into Hell. He preached against spiritual laziness, inordinate love of pleasure, blasphemy and scandalizing young souls.
In his homilies, he did not hesitate to warn people they were hurling themselves headlong into Hell.
He warned, "Parents, know that if your children go to Hell, be sure that they will join you ... who will be already waiting for them."
People today are not used to shepherds admonishing their flocks so forcefully, but the saint understood the dire peril of souls and his duty to remind them of this spiritual peril.
He died in 1859 at 73 years old, having converted thousands of people. He was so effective as a lowly parish priest that the demon once told him, "If there were three such priests as you, my kingdom would be ruined."

Psi is a mod created by Vazkii. It is themed around magical programming, being inspired by the Japanese web novel and anime Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei.
Psi allows action sequences, or spells, to be both created and executed in the Minecraft world. It has a leveling up mechanic, and much of the programming done requires the use of mathematics. Spells are created in the Spell Programmer, which has a drag-and-drop interface, but is nevertheless complicated.
Players are strongly recommended to have some knowledge of kinematics and trigonometry.

Residents of Wirral are starting to see activity on the Wirral Waters site on the Birkenhead docks system.
In August there were announcements on two future developments. A large office block development has been granted planning permission on Tower Wharf near Egerton House and Wirral Metropolitan College had been given planning approval for a new campus nearby close to their existing Twelve Quays campus. Both schemes should be complete by October 2016.
There's also been a lot of activity on the old Mobil site off Wallasey Bridge Road and Beaufort Road on the West Float.
The Mobil Oil plant opened in the 1930s as an oil terminal and blending plant but was closed in 2001and lay empty for years. Earlier in the year some of the Mobil buildings were demolished. A clearance and land reclamation scheme has been underway over the summer. I managed to get a few photographs from the main road of the site.
The Peel Group is planning to develop a manufacturing park for motor and rail industry suppliers on the 35-acre former Mobil oil storage site as part of the £5bn regeneration of Birkenhead Docks. The site is next to the planned International Trade Centre where a £3.8m land remediation project has already been completed.
Peel hopes to attract suppliers of Jaguar Land Rover and General Motors, which produce cars at Halewood and Ellesmere Port, as well as Bentley in Crewe and Toyota on Deeside.

Really interested in all your photos of Birkenhead Docks. We are creating a mural with a project called …and the River flows on to be installed in Wirral Waters. Would love to get in touch with Alan Maddocks in Perth who posted on your blog. Also looking for photos of people who worked on Birkenhead Docks for the next panel of our mural which is about the dock workers. Find us on tumblr – and the River flows on or follow us on twitter @birk_summerart. Would be good to hear from you.
Many thanks for your comments. I have passed your details on to Alan Maddocks in Australia. I have emailed you directly regarding my photos.

Not On The 'VVIP List', But Here's How Robert Vadra Can (Still) Skip Airport Security
By IndiaSpend in Politics, Society
More from IndiaSpend
By Rakesh Dubbudu, IndiaSpend.com:
Robert Vadra, son in law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, continues to be officially exempt from security checks at airports, according to a right-to-information (RTI) response received from the government by data journalism site factly.in.
This contradicts reports in September that Vadra's name has been removed from what is called the "no-frisk list".
I appreciate that my name will not appear in the VVIP list anymore. I hope this is a dead issue now and will not be used against me.My Best wishes.
Posted by Robert Vadra on Wednesday, September 16, 2015
While the latest list of those exempt from security checks does not have Vadra's name on it, in comparison to the old list, there is an additional note on the new list that allows him to bypass security–if he so chooses.
"The accompanying spouse of the above said VVIPs/VIPs is also exempted from pre-embarkation security checks at all civil airports in the country," the new note said.
This means that if Vadra accompanies his wife Priyanka Gandhi, who is protected by the Special Protection Group (SPG), he is still exempted from pre-embarkation checks.
As many as 32 categories of people are exempt from pre-embarkation security checks at India's civilian airports, said the RTI response received by factly.in. Such exemptions are granted:
On the basis of Protocol
On the basis of reciprocity/bilateral agreement in respect of foreign dignitaries
On the basis of Security ground.
Here's who is exempt from security checks at Indian airports, according to the latest list:
Governors of states
Former Vice Presidents
Speaker of Lok Sabha
Union Ministers of Cabinet rank
Chief Ministers of States
Deputy Chief Ministers of states
Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
Holders of Bharat Ratna awards
Ambassadors of foreign countries, charge D' Affairs and High Commissioners and their spouses
Judges of Supreme Court
Comptroller & Auditor General of India
Deputy Chairman Rajya Sabha and Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha
Ministers of State of the Union Council of Ministers
Attorney General of India
Cabinet Secretary
Lt Governors of union territories
Chiefs of staffs holding the rank of full General or equivalent rank
Chief Justices of the High Courts
Chief Ministers of union territories
Deputy Chief Ministers of union territories
Visiting Foreign dignitaries of the same status as president, chief justice, governors, former presidents and vice presidents.
The Dalai Lama
SPG Protectees
Spouse of the President of India is exempt from pre-embarkation security checks at all civil airports even when he/she is not accompanying the President
Former Prime Ministers of India
Note: The Accompanying spouse of the above said VVIPs/VIPs is also exempted from pre-embarkation security checks at all civil airports in the country
The Special Protection Group (SPG) is one of eight central armed police forces of India. It was created in 1988 by an act of the Parliament of India for "providing proximate security to the Prime Minister (PM) of India and former Prime Minister of India and members of their immediate families".
Family of a serving PM may decline security. Former PMs and their immediate family may also, if they choose, decline SPG security.

London: Brazil midfielder Fabinho impressed Jurgen Klopp enough in central defence in Saturday's 1-0 win over Brighton to reassure the Liverpool manager he can be a reliable stop-gap partner for Virgil van Dijk.
Klopp, though, enthused over Fabinho's performance against an admittedly limited Brighton attack which leaves his side seven points clear of Manchester City, although the champions can reduce it to four if they beat Wolves later on Monday.
"He is a brilliant player and I am happy that he can play (against Brighton) — it's now pretty clear (that he can play in defence)," said Klopp.
"It's not like it came one attack after the other from Brighton.
"He did well in these situations (dealing with the high ball) and with (playing) the ball it's absolutely clear. He has a defending brain and can do it in different positions, it's good."
"Trent on the ground — he's a hard boy so that's not a good sign and the doc came, something with the ankle," said the 51-year-old German.

How the Gay Men's Chorus of L.A. Keeps Going
New Works by Curtis Ripley and Peter Lotado
The William Turner Gallery hosted an opening reception Saturday, April 28, for artists Curtis Ripley and Peter Lotado. The exhibition featured Ripley's recent work, a series of atmospheric paintings, as well as Lodato's bi-chromatic paintings. Both artists are local to the Westside
In his new work "Chakras" the Venice artist Peter Lotado included a full-color spectrum of individually painted canvasses. He explained that "chakras are the spectrum of color, and red, yellow and blue are the colors in between." His works are "reductive, divided compositions" and include "visual confrontations between the planar simplicity of form and the resonance of particular pigments." As a graduate of California State University of Northridge (CSUN) he studied both psychology and art, but confessed that he has been painting since he was a child. "My mother was a painter," he stated.
When asked about his process, he meditatively said "I think hard. I get nervous. And then I do it. And then I get to look at it." All of the works included in the exhibition were oil on canvass. They can be found inside the William Turner Gallery's project room.
A graduate from the University of Wisconsin, Curtis Ripley, a Mar Vista artist, moved to the west coast in 1985. His latest works, "Nightfall" are atmospheric paintings that are influenced by poetry and music. The "gestures" and "rhythms" in his paintings are varied as he listens to a range of musicians and genres while working. "Duke Ellington, to classical, to Willie Nelson" he stated. Similar to the jazz styles of Ellington's era, Ripley's work is "improvisational" with strokes that "dance over the canvass."
Additionally, his works include subtle poetic influence. He cited that he has painted the rhythms of a haiku as well as a sonnet. According to Ripley, he builds the atmosphere with brushes and rags of various widths, and sizes. The works that were included in the exhibition are "paintings from 2017 through 2018" he clarified. In addition to friends and associates, Ripley's family was also in attendance. "My hope is to create paintings that are timeless, lyrical and full of life," he concluded.

F1's season-opening Australian GP in March is set to be postponed
Now Covid hits the NEXT Formula One season! Australian Grand Prix is set to be postponed due to strict travel and quarantine restrictions Down Under – and work on the track hasn't even started ahead of season opener
The F1 season was scheduled to get underway on March 21 in Melbourne
It comes a year after the race was cancelled hours before Friday practice
Australia still have strict travel restrictions as a result of the coronavirus crisis
There are also fears over the emergence of a new strain of Covid-19
Sportsmail understands F1 officials have accepted for the race to be postponed
Lewis Hamilton's latest defence of his Formula One title is facing disruption before it has even begun with the opening round of the 2021 in Australia set to be postponed until later in the year.
It comes just a year after the 2020 opening race in Melbourne was cancelled just hours before Friday practice, in a season disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Amid worldwide fears over a new strain of Covid-19, as well as Australia still enforcing strict travel restrictions, concerns have grown over whether the race on March 21 will be able to go ahead.
Lewis Hamilton will be looking to win a record-breaking eighth F1 championship this season
It comes a year after the season-opening race was cancelled because of the Covid-19 crisis
Sportsmail understand that officials have agreed for the race to be postponed from March 21 until later in the season, with an announcement expected next week.
This would result in a reshuffle of the races, and the season instead getting underway at the Bahrain Grand Prix which is scheduled for March 28.
It is not yet known when in the year the race which takes place at Albert Park in Melbourne would be moved to.
The country has taken a strong stance towards limiting the spread of Covid-19 since the outbreak last year, closing its borders to non-residents shortly after the race was cancelled last March.
Strict quarantine rules have been in place forcing all arrivals in Australia and those moving between states to spend two weeks in designated quarantine hotels.
Construction work for the Australian Grand Prix, which takes place on a temporary street circuit, normally gets started at the end of January.
Fans only found out hours before the Friday practice last year that the event was cancelled
However, ticket sales have not yet started for the event, due to the uncertainty of the pandemic.
The 2020 season was marred as a result of the pandemic with 13 races cancelled as a result.
In a shortened season, Lewis Hamilton waltzed his way to his seventh F1 championship in 2020
However they were able to deliver a 17-race season, with double headers in Austria, Great Britain and Bahrain, and by adding a number of tracks which had not been scheduled on the original calendar.
Despite missing a race due to a positive test, Lewis Hamilton waltzed his way to a seventh F1 championship, matching the record of the great Michael Schumacher.
Last year's cancellation of the Australian Grand Prix came after the McLaren team withdrew from the Melbourne event because a team member tested positive for Covid-19. Top drivers were also refusing to take part in the race due to health concerns.
Disappointed racing fans believe they were left in the dark as Formula One failed to effectively communicate whether the event would go ahead.
The Bahrain Grand Prix on March 28 could be the season-opening race if Australia is delayed
F1 conducted rigorous testing for Covid-19 since the delayed start to the 2020 season, ensuring all paddock personnel attending events test negative before being allowed on site.
This is to carry on next season, and it is hoped that the pandemic won't affect the calendar as much as it did last year.
If he successfully defends the championship this season, Hamilton will move ahead of Schumacher to become the only driver to have won eight world championships.
Any postponement would also raise questions about the Australian Open tennis, with the tournament set to take place in Melbourne from February 8 for two weeks.
Currently the tournament is still set to go ahead though players will have to serve a 14-day quarantine period in the city before it gets underway.

(PRI) A type of ISDN connection. In North America and Japan, this consists of 24 channels, usually divided into 23 B channels and 1 D channel, and runs over the same physical interface as T1. Elsewhere the PRI has 31 user channels, usually divided into 30 B channels and 1 D channel and is based on the E1 interface.
PRI is typically used for connections such as one between a PBX (private branch exchange, a telephone exchange operated by the customer of a telephone company) and a CO (central office, of the telephone company) or IXC (inter exchange carrier, a long distance telephone company).

Parallels Between the Cross-Sectional Predictability of Stock and Country Returns
January 1, 1997 - Cliff Asness John M. Liew Ross L. Stevens
Topics - Factor/Style Investing Macroeconomics
Firm characteristics such as book-to-market ratio, market equity and one-year past return help explain the cross-section of average returns on U.S. stocks. In this paper, we find that the same characteristics can be used to help explain differences in expected returns among national equity markets as a whole.
First, country versions of book-to-market ratio, market equity and one-year past return (also known as momentum) help explain the cross-section of expected country returns. Second, the January seasonal effect in market equity's explanatory power for stocks also appears for countries. Third, portfolios formed by sorting stocks and countries on these variables produce similar patterns in profitability for stocks and countries.
Parallel evidence from stocks and countries bolsters the case that the observed book-to-market-, market equity- and momentum-related premiums are not a consequence of data mining.
In summary, we document country and stock parallels in the relation between the characteristics studied and measures of profitability. Across countries and stocks, low book-to-market and high market-equity portfolios produce consistently higher profits than high book-to-market and low market-equity portfolios. Moreover, patterns in profitability for momentum-sorted country portfolios are consistent with documented relations between profitability and returns for U.S. stocks.
While these results suggest that stock returns may be predictable, investors should interpret the evidence with caution.

Experimentally engineering the edge termination of graphene nanoribbons.
The edges of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have attracted much interest due to their potentially strong influence on GNR electronic and magnetic properties. Here we report the ability to engineer the microscopic edge termination of high-quality GNRs via hydrogen plasma etching. Using a combination of high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and first-principles calculations, we have determined the exact atomic structure of plasma-etched GNR edges and established the chemical nature of terminating functional groups for zigzag, armchair, and chiral edge orientations. We find that the edges of hydrogen-plasma-etched GNRs are generally flat, free of structural reconstructions, and terminated by hydrogen atoms with no rehybridization of the outermost carbon edge atoms. Both zigzag and chiral edges show the presence of edge states.

It's graphically pretty basic, after all, and came to the console courtesy of Microsoft's ID@Xbox program, while the actual development could be (and mostly was) done by a single person. You'd be wrong.
You see, Jamie Fristrom, former Treyarch director and founder of and coder at Happion Laboratories, has published a list of the costs involved to bring his game to market. Some of his money spent seems almost too trite to mention; USB and video cables are mentioned as costing $72, for example, while he even includes the $63 cost of posting a second (free from Microsoft) devkit to his partner Brett Douvill.
The $181 for a video capture device to make the trailer and $19 for maintaining the game's web URL when it's found at www.happionlabs.com anyway? It's initially like reading a spreadsheet compiled by Ebenezer Scrooge. Until, that is, you get to the $729 it cost to localise the French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese versions, and then the $2,037 required for mandatory Error & Omissions insurance just in case Microsoft gets sued because the game contains illegalities. Largest of all costs was the $2,042 required to get it rated by PEGI and USK (the German board) so the fi nal fi gure was $5,143, with the vast majority being on ratings and insurance.
Fristrom certainly saved cash by not going for a full international release, though he would have certainly suffered similar costs working with Sony.

Q: Blending messages in and out with control or jquery What would you suggest, if I wanted to blend text messages in and out (fade in and out) from codebehind ?
My problem is the following:
I have a couple of modalpopups in which I have UpdatePanels running and when the user submits data, I want to show messages (not javascript's alert) like "Saved." as pure text, that is faded in and out, thus doesn't require space. (similar to having a <p>-tag set to display: none and display:block with fade effect)
I know that I could use a Label and set its Visibility to true or false, but that's not what I want to do. (-> a dirty solution without fade effect)
Important is that I do this from codebehind...
Is there some sort of Asp.NetControl that would do the trick ? Or will I have to use jquery from codebehind ?

A: Here is a small list of jQuery plugins for this:

Monèglia (Monegia  in ligure) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della città metropolitana di Genova in Liguria.

Geografia fisica

Territorio
Il territorio di Moneglia è situato sulla Riviera di Levante,  ad est di Genova, di cui è l'ultimo comune orientale del territorio metropolitano, e a circa 30 km dalla Spezia e a circa 60 km da Genova.

Il paese si trova all'interno di un'ampia baia delimitata da due promontori, entrambi ricchi di vegetazione mediterranea e pinete: ad ovest si estende il promontorio di punta Moneglia e ad est quello di punta Rospo. Mentre il primo è interamente selvaggio e raggiungibile solo mediante sentieri, che verso l'alto si spingono fino ai monti Comunaglia (432 m) e Moneglia (521 m), il secondo presenta diverse zone residenziali fino all'abitato di Lemeglio. Altre vette del territorio il monte Incisa (514 m), il monte Crocetta (446 m).

Il territorio monegliese è attraversato principalmente da due corsi d'acqua a carattere torrentizio, spesso in secca o con scarsa portata nei mesi più caldi, e da numerosi ruscelli che scendono dalle colline attorno al paese. Nella parte occidentale del borgo scorre il torrente San Lorenzo, coperto nel suo tratto finale ed adibito a strada e parcheggio, mentre a levante scorre il torrente Bisagno.

Clima
Il clima è tipico mediterraneo, privo, salvo rare occasioni, di eccessi termici in estate e di episodi di gelo in inverno. Tuttavia, le precipitazioni possono essere abbondanti, specialmente durante l'autunno e la primavera, a causa dell'orografia della riviera di Levante.

Dal punto di vista legislativo Moneglia ricade nella Classificazione climatica D in quanto i Gradi giorno della città sono 1547, dunque il limite massimo consentito per l'accensione dei riscaldamenti è di 12 ore giornaliere dal 1º novembre al 15 aprile.

Storia

L'antico toponimo di Moneglia (ad Monilia) appare nella Tavola Peutingeriana, copia della carta militare dell'Impero romano (XI - XII secolo) conservata presso la biblioteca nazionale austriaca di Vienna, scoperto dall'antiquario di Augusta, Corrado Peutinger, nel Cinquecento.

Il borgo, già abitato dalla popolazione dei Liguri Lapicini, fu un centro molto importante in epoca romana grazie alla sua posizione strategica sull'antica Via Aurelia. Menzionata in una carta dell'Impero dell'anno 14 e nella "tabula alimentaria" del 117 (in quest'ultimo documento si cita espressamente la zona di Lemmelius, l'attuale frazione di Lemeglio), l'importanza storica del territorio monegliese viene ulteriormente testimoniata e risaltata dallo storico Agostino Giustiniani nei Castigatissimi Annali della Repubblica di Genova del 1537.

Nel corso del VII secolo, in epoca longobarda, la Liguria venne conquistata dal re Rotari.

Carlo Magno con il diploma imperiale del 5 giugno 774 donò il territorio ed il porto all'abbazia di San Colombano di Bobbio.

Nel medioevo subì, come altri paesi costieri del levante ligure, le aggressioni dei saraceni che saccheggiarono la cittadina; nel particolare, una cronaca locale, afferma che l'odierno abitato collinare di Lemeglio fu preso d'assalto nell'XI secolo dai pirati con l'uccisione di quasi tutti gli abitanti e il rapimento di oltre venti bambine e donne.

Il feudo monegliese fu amministrato fino al 1153 dai conti Fieschi di Lavagna e a partire da tale periodo divenne territorio della Repubblica di Genova. La repubblica eresse, nel 1173, la fortificazione di Monleone, i cui resti sono ancora presenti; già nel 1174 o nel 1176 quest'ultima venne assediata dai circa 3000 fanti e 150 cavalieri dell'alleanza militare tra Obizzo Malaspina con i Fieschi e i locali conti Da Passano.

Moneglia, così come gli altri feudi fedeli a Genova, partecipò a fianco di essa nel 1284, con proprie navi, alla celebre e vittoriosa battaglia della Meloria e a quella di Porto Pisano contro la rivale Pisa per il dominio commerciale sui mari; secondo la tradizione Genova, in gesto di riconoscenza, donò alla comunità del piccolo borgo alcuni anelli della catena che serviva a chiudere le bocche del Porto Pisano, e che ancora oggi sono incastonati nella parete esterna della chiesa di Santa Croce.

Nel 1397 l'alleanza tra le famiglie Bertolotti del borgo di Levanto, i Malaspina e i ghibellini del feudo portarono ad un nuovo assalto alla fortezza di Monleone che, dopo un estenuante assedio, dovette cedere ai conquistatori. Stessa sorte subì il borgo tra assalti e incendi, nonostante una coraggiosa rivolta popolare costrinse gli assalitori ad asserragliarsi nel neo conquistato castello. Durante la dedizione di Genova verso il Ducato di Milano, nel 1425, l'ex doge repubblicano Tomaso Fregoso, signore di Sarzana, assoggettò Moneglia nel proprio dominio feudale. Negli scontri che ne seguirono fu distrutto il campanile della pieve monegliese. Una presunta alleanza o patteggiamento della comunità monegliese verso la famiglia Fieschi portò, nel 1477, ad una sorta di "spedizione punitiva" genovese, dominata in quel periodo dagli Sforza di Milano, con saccheggi e lo sborsamento di un'ammenda di duemila scudi.

Con l'assestamento dei poteri autonomi della repubblica, intorno al XVI secolo, Genova elesse Moneglia come capoluogo della locale podesteria con giurisdizione sull'intero territorio circostante, sulle odierne frazioni e località del comune e sulla confinante Deiva Marina (Lemeglio, Deiva, Mezzema Agnora, Littorno, Scaro, Stozio, Comeglio, Camposoprano Camposottano, San Saturnino Tessi, Borghetto Bracco, Casale, Vallecalda, San Lorenzo e Crova). Risale al 1549 la richiesta al senato genovese per la costruzione di una nuova torre di difesa e avvistamento nella fortezza di Villafranca. Nel 1637 con l'elezione di Levanto a locale capitaneato della repubblica, le fu sottoposta anche la giurisdizione della podesteria monegliese fino alla dominazione napoleonica di fine Settecento. Durante la guerra di successione austriaca del 1747 è testimoniata nel borgo di Moneglia la presenza degli Spagnoli: risale infatti al 1745 un atto di morte di un soldato ispanico depositato nell'archivio parrocchiale di Santa Croce; al 1748 risale invece la successiva occupazione dei Francesi.

Con la dominazione francese la municipalità rientrò dal 2 dicembre 1797 nel dipartimento dell'Entella, con capoluogo Chiavari, all'interno della Repubblica Ligure. Dal 28 aprile 1798 la municipalità di Moneglia e le frazioni di Lemeglio e San Saturnino rientrarono nel VII cantone, come capoluogo, della giurisdizione del Gromolo e Vara e dal 1803 centro principale del VII cantone del Gromolo nella giurisdizione dell'Entella. Annesso al Primo Impero francese, dal 13 giugno 1805 al 1814 venne inserito nel dipartimento degli Appennini. L'11 luglio 1809 è documentato il passaggio per il passo del Bracco del pontefice Pio VII, prigioniero dei soldati francesi, in viaggio da Roma diretto in terra d'oltralpe.

Nel 1815 fu inglobato nel Regno di Sardegna, secondo le decisioni del congresso di Vienna del 1814, che sottopose la municipalità di Moneglia nella provincia di Chiavari sotto la divisione di Genova. Dal 1859 al 1926 il territorio fu compreso nel III mandamento di Sestri Levante del circondario di Chiavari dell'allora provincia di Genova, nel Regno d'Italia.

Dopo la perdita di 37 cittadini nella Grande Guerra del 1915-1918, la comunità monegliese ebbe da subire diversi e luttuosi bombardamenti aerei (14 giugno, 29 giugno e 1º novembre 1944) durante le fasi cruciali e finali della seconda guerra mondiale, mirati alla distruzione del sovrastante ponte ferroviario lungo la linea Genova-La Spezia spostata, nel 1924, più a monte dell'originale tracciato a ridosso della scogliera. Furono proprio le ex gallerie della precedente linea ferrata a fare da rifugio alla popolazione.

Dal 1973 al 31 dicembre 2008 ha fatto parte della Comunità montana Val Petronio.

Il 10 agosto 2012 un gruppo di subacquei genovesi, a circa 150 m di profondità, ha avvistato il relitto del piroscafo Enrichetta, un'imbarcazione carica di materiale ferroviario e che fu affondata da un sommergibile della Marina imperiale tedesca il 30 giugno del 1917. Risulta ancora non ritrovato e disperso, invece, il relitto del cacciatorpediniere Gioberti affondato il 9 agosto del 1943 dal sommergibile Simoom della Marina militare britannica nei pressi di punta Mesco.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Architetture religiose
 Chiesa parrocchiale di Santa Croce nella parte est del centro abitato. La chiesa fu ricostruita nel 1726 sui resti della preesistente e antica pieve del XII secolo. Nella parete esterna dell'edificio sono esposte alcuni anelli della catena che chiudeva l'ingresso del porto di Pisa, trofeo preso dal concittadino Trancheo Stanco dopo la vittoria genovese nella battaglia della Meloria del 1284. All'interno opere del locale pittore Luca Cambiaso e dello scultore genovese Anton Maria Maragliano.
 Oratorio dei Disciplinanti presso la parrocchiale di Santa Croce. Importante per i suoi cicli di antichi affreschi, l'oratorio attuale è di aspetto barocco, ma la sua costruzione risale all'XI secolo.
 Chiesa parrocchiale di San Giorgio nella parte ovest del centro abitato, nei pressi della sovrastante fortezza di Monleone. Risalente al 1396 ad opera dei monaci benedettini con annesso chiostro francescano del XV secolo, conserva al suo interno pregiate opere pittoriche e scultoree databili tra il Seicento e il Settecento.
 Chiesa di San Rocco nella frazione di Bracco, del Seicento.
 Chiesa parrocchiale di Santa Maria Assunta nella frazione di Lemeglio. Parrocchia dal 1413, così come afferma un atto notarile dell'epoca, conserva al suo interno un dipinto del pittore Domenico Piola raffigurante la Madonna col Bambino e santi.
 Chiesa parrocchiale di San Saturnino nella frazione omonima.
 Chiesa di San Lorenzo nella frazione omonima.

Architetture militari
 Fortezza e torre di Villafranca, ad est dell'abitato odierno di Moneglia, fu eretto dalla Repubblica di Genova intorno al 1130 per la difesa e avvistamento della costa. Bombardata durante la seconda guerra mondiale, è stata recentemente messa in sicurezza dall'ente comunale che ha permesso l'apertura al pubblico dell'adiacente parco.
 Fortezza di Monleone, ad ovest dell'abitato monegliese, fu eretto dalla repubblica genovese nel 1173. Subì un primo assedio già nel 1174 dai soldati del conte Obizzo Malaspina, alleato quest'ultimo con le famiglie Da Passano e Fieschi.

Cultura

Cucina
Principale prodotto di questo lembo di terra ligure è l'olio d'oliva, che ha ottenuto negli anni scorsi la DOP "Riviera Ligure di Levante". L'olio di Moneglia si accompagna bene con piatti di pesce e della dieta mediterranea, di cui la cucina ligure è una delle più alte espressioni.

Geografia antropica
Il territorio comunale comprende, oltre al nucleo principale, le frazioni di Bracco, Casale, Camposoprano, Comeglio, Crova, Facciù, Lemeglio, Littorno, San Lorenzo, San Saturnino e Tessi per un totale di 15,61 km².

Confina a nord con il comune di Castiglione Chiavarese, a sud è bagnato dal mar Ligure, ad ovest con Casarza Ligure e Sestri Levante e ad est con Deiva Marina (SP).

Economia

Turismo
Molto importante è il turismo, Moneglia offre ai propri turisti una molteplicità di attrattive. È dotata di ampie spiagge sabbiose (libere, a pagamento e attrezzate), di numerose spiaggette rocciose e di un gran numero di calette raggiungibili esclusivamente via mare. Numerosissimi sono gli itinerari naturalistici sulle colline intorno al paese. La costa rocciosa di Moneglia è famosa per la presenza, in determinate zone, di pareti attrezzate per arrampicate. I fondali marini offrono inoltre molteplici attrattive agli appassionati di subacquea, specie lungo le coste rocciose.

Agricoltura
La coltivazione dell'ulivo è molto diffusa sulle colline del paese e ha permesso, nel corso degli ultimi decenni, la nascita di diversi frantoi dove la produzione, soprattutto a carattere familiare, è ormai ampiamente diffusa. Molto coltivata è anche la vite, in particolare sulle colline fra San Saturnino e Lemeglio, da cui si ottiene il vino "Bianco di Moneglia".

Infrastrutture e trasporti

Strade
Il centro di Moneglia è attraversato dalla strada litoranea detta "delle Gallerie", che collega il paese ad ovest con Sestri Levante, passando per la frazione di Riva Trigoso, e ad est con Deiva Marina, in provincia della Spezia.

Da Moneglia hanno inizio le strade provinciali 55 di Moneglia e 68 del Facciù. Entrambe si collegano poi sulle colline retrostanti il paese con la strada statale 1 Via Aurelia.

Le gallerie della strada litoranea sono a senso unico alternato e l'accesso è regolato da semafori a tempo con orari cadenzati, poiché la larghezza molto ridotta dei tunnel non consente la circolazione contemporanea nei due sensi di marcia. Particolarmente suggestive, anche se non molto comode, le gallerie fino al 1932 erano utilizzate come gallerie ferroviarie (motivo della larghezza ridotta), prima che la ferrovia venisse spostata più a monte, dove si trova attualmente. A causa della loro conformazione, il transito nelle gallerie è vietato alle biciclette e ai pedoni, mentre caravan e camper possono transitare solo nel tratto tra Riva Trigoso e Moneglia, che non possono percorrere per intero ma solo dalle estremità fino alla deviazione per un campeggio posto circa a metà del tracciato.

Gli orari dei semafori sono i seguenti:
 Riva Trigoso - Moneglia: semaforo verde ai minuti 15, 35 e 55 di ogni ora

Hog Farm Hideaway | Black Oak Ranch | 6/10/22 - 6/12/22
Article Contributed by Alan Sheckter | Published on Monday, June 20, 2022
Three years in the making – thanks Covid for putting it on hold – The Hog Farm Hideaway, featuring two improvisational sets from The String Cheese Incident each night, passed its inaugural undertaking with flying colors, so to speak.
Set among the tree-and-meadow acreage of the old Black Oak Ranch north of Laytonville, California, and with Wavy Gravy and his wife, Jahanara, in attendance, the three-day affair included a family of bohemian bands including The Infamous Stringdusters, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Galactic, Keller Williams, Ghost Light, Fruition, Cosmic Twang with Nicki Bluhm, Ron Artis II, and many more.
The setting, the Black Oak Ranch, was an important component of the festival's character. The site itself, which has hosted many festivals over the years, has long been synonymous with the Hog Farm, founded more than 50 years ago by Wavy and Jahanara, who still oversee Camp Winnarainbow children's performing arts camp just up the road.
In addition to music mastery of abundant flavors, The Hog Farm Hideaway also featured several camping areas, a bevy of upscale artisan mini-shops, visual arts, nonprofit-awareness stations, cheerful and colorful activities, a very nice food court, a large 21-and-older cannabis vendor area, and a vibrant Kids-Landia for the young ones. The combination of all the ingredients, most importantly the affirmations of all in attendance, created a collective soul-affirming experience.
The festival producer's sister celebration, The Days Between fest, is set for August 5 to 7 at the same location. "The Days Between" comes from the title of one of the last Jerry Garcia-Robert Hunter songwriting collaborations and has become synonymous with the eight-day span between the date of Garcia's birth, August 1, and the date of his passing 27 years ago, August 9.

'Just Bobby' by Photography by Bob Minkin | Review


Don't forget to breathe while watching this. Free diver Guillaume Néry blends the lines between ocean and space in this short film of him swimming in surreal seascapes around the world. Néry dives and swims beneath ice sheets, walks the ocean floor with spearfishermen, and, for the truly mindblowing finale, swims with whales in what must have been a nearly heartstopping moment of beauty for the swimmer and the filmers. Speaking of, this short was shot by Julie Gautier, Néry's wife, who also held her breath while filming. What a badass. Seriously though, breathe.

Q: Making a windows metro control draggable I want to make a metro user control draggable. The user should be able to drag it and drop it on other controls, causing things to happen. How do I implement this functionality?
The only method I've discovered that works is using the GridView and ListView controls. They have a 'CanDragItems' property which, when true, means any item in the view can be dragged and dropped. I tried wrapping my control in a gridview or listview but they interfere with the layout in ways I don't understand.
I'd prefer not to emulate functionality provided by the OS. I could do it, by using the raw mouse/tap events, but it wouldn't properly respect system settings like the size of the dead zone preventing accidental dragging.

A: what I would say is that you have to create an attach property on the Grid and draw an adorner that would hook up to the MouseDown/MouseUp events, from there you set the Grid.Column's Width/Grid.Row's Height. That would make the Grid draggable.
I won't suggest to use the built in property ShowGridLines as this is only used for debugging. You can try using Grid Splitters if you want and less code.
More on attached properties are found here Attach Properties

A: I ended up just emulating the functionality by watching mouse events. I ask the control being dragged for a 'doppleganger' copy that looks the same but has no functionality, place it on the top-level grid, and adjust its render transform to move it.
However, note that if my requirements had been slightly different I might have been able to use the manipulation mode/events to do what I wanted. They're particularly nice because they have inertia built-in, but they're a bit pickier about focus and I didn't manage to cross parent control boundaries with it.
