es una serie de televisión francesa de intriga política que se estrenó el 8 de febrero de 2016 en Canal+. La serie fue creada por Eric Benzekri y Jean-Baptiste Delafon.

Sinopsis
Barón noir es la saga política y judicial sobre Philippe Rickwaert, miembro del Parlamento y el alcalde de Dunkerque, que se encuentra impulsado por una incontenible sed de venganza personal. Entre las rondas de la elección presidencial, ve su inminente colapso cuando su mentor, el candidato izquierdista, le sacrifica para salvar a su campaña. Decidido a reinventar su carrera, Rickwaert utiliza su astucia y conexiones para ganar las luchas políticas en contra de aquellos que lo traicionaron, creando una nueva alianza con el asesor más cercano de su enemigo. Formidable, pero incontrolable, el conflicto entre la verdad y la mentira, cultivando amistades en todos los estratos de la sociedad (incluyendo tanto en la policía como en el crimen organizado), la vida de Philippe Rickwaert se disuelve en un fascinante caos organizado. Rickwaert lleva a la lucha a sus rivales (y a sus propios demonios) en cada oportunidad.

Q: VSCode and ES6 warnings I keep on getting ES6 jshint warnings, for example:
''import' is only available in ES6 (use 'esversion: 6'). (W119)'
source: 'jshint'
code: 'W119'
I followed suggestions such as

*

*Adding a .jshintrc file in the root with
{
    "esversion": 6
}

*Adding the following to the user and\or workspace settings:
   "jshint.options":{
       "esversion":6
   }

But I still get the warning. Are there other things that I can do?
Thanks

A: jsHint's ES6 warning can be solved easily by the following JSON code without creating any new file:
Paste the code inside the JSON editor of the "user settings".
"jshint.options": { "esversion": 6 },

A: Add a file .jshintrc into your project root, the warnings will disappear.
{
    "esversion": 6
}

A: jsconfig.json file which defines the JavaScript target to be ES6
I create a jsconfig.json file under my project directory and add codes in it:
{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6"
},
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "**/node_modules/*"
    ]
}

A: According to the JSHint documentation: https://jshint.com/docs/ "In addition to using configuration files you can configure JSHint from within your files using special comments. These comments start with a label such as jshint or globals..."
So, a /* jshint esversion: 6 */ comment will work on the top of each file targeting ES6.
This have the advantage of you can switch these directives on and off per file or per function: "These comments are function scoped meaning that if you put them inside a function they will affect only this function's code."

Bodianus vulpinus () è un pesce di acqua salata appartenente alla famiglia Labridae.

Distribuzione e habitat
Proviene dalle barriere coralline dell'oceano Indiano orientale; è stato localizzato nell'ovest dell'Australia. Si suppone viva anche alle Hawaii, dall'Isola di Pasqua e dalle Isole Ryukyu, ma a causa della somiglianza con il congenere B. unimaculatus il suo areale è abbastanza difficile da determinare precisamente. Nuota nelle zone ricche di coralli, sia con fondo roccioso che, più frequentemente, sabbioso, di solito a profondità comprese tra 100 e 250 m.

Descrizione
Il suo corpo è compresso lateralmente, mediamente alto ma non particolarmente allungato, con il profilo della testa decisamente appuntito. La pinna dorsale e la pinna anale non sono particolarmente basse, ma la prima è più lunga e presenta un ocello nero. Non supera i 43,5 cm. La pinna caudale non è biforcuta, ma nei maschi adulti può presentare i raggi esterni più allungati.

I giovani sono rosati con le pinne dello stesso colore del corpo ma pallide e diverse macchie marroni lungo il corpo, mentre negli adulti, che hanno una colorazione più intensa, le macchie scure non sono presenti. Al termine della pinna dorsale può esserci un'area più chiara.

Biologia

Alimentazione
Si nutre di varie specie di invertebrati marini.

Riproduzione
È oviparo e la fecondazione è esterna; non ci sono cure nei confronti delle uova.

Conservazione
Questa specie non è minacciata da particolari pericoli nonostante l'areale apparentemente limitato, e infatti viene classificata come "a rischio minimo" (LC) dalla lista rossa IUCN.

Historic William Johnston Building Earns LEED Gold Certification

Florida State University President Eric J. Barron rededicated the newly renovated William Johnston Building to the "20th century students who first brought these halls to life" and the "21st century students who will open its doors to the future" during a ceremony held on the evening on September 20, 2011.
"Today's William Johnston Building is a multitasking, carbon-neutral, student-focused learning and gathering place that joins rich, beautiful tradition to smart, contemporary pizazz," Barron said.
The renovation marries a traditional collegiate Gothic exterior with an ultramodern interior, which includes a dramatic five-story atrium. With 143,000 square feet, it houses portions of the Division of Undergraduate Studies and the colleges of Communication and Information; Human Sciences; and Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance.
The east-facing original section of the building, which contains the Suwannee Dining Hall, was built in 1913. The west-facing, newly renovated section opened in 1939. The entire Johnston Building was known as the Dining Hall for roughly 60 years because it housed a bakery, a creamery, a cannery, an informal dining hall, two formal dining halls and a private dining area for the university president. In the 1980s, the building was named for Florida State benefactor William H. Johnston, a hotelier from Jacksonville, Fla.

During the recent renovation of the 1939 section, great care was taken to preserve many of the building's historical interior finishes, including the salt-glazed tile wainscot in the foyer of the first-floor lobby and on the second floor between the two formal dining halls, which are now lecture halls; wood ceiling beams and hand-painted cork ceiling tiles that depict sparrows, butterflies, herons and waves; and the cast-stone sculpture of Demeter, the Greek goddess of plenty, which is above the west-front doors.
The architects of Gould Evans Associates and a consultant from H2 Engineering designed the Johnston Building to conform to the standards of the Architecture 2030 Challenge, an initiative by the global architecture and building community to build "carbon neutral" buildings that strive to emit zero greenhouse gases in their operation.
Florida State University News
Following this historic renovation and an expansive new addition, the William Johnston Building at Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee, Fla., has earned LEED® Gold certification. The project team included Peter R. Brown Construction (PRBC), an Atkins company; and architect Gould Evans Associates. The 143,000-square-foot, $35.5-million project involved renovating the existing four-story historic building and adding a new five-story expansion structure.
The project was recently awarded LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council and was verified by the Green Building Certification Institute.
The project earned LEED certification for its use of a sustainable site, its water and energy efficiency, and its indoor environmental quality. The renovation included installing new closed-cell spray-foam insulation, motion-sensitive lighting fixtures, and energy-efficient windows and mechanical systems.
"Today's William Johnston Building is a multitasking [and] student-focused learning and gathering place that joins rich, beautiful tradition to smart, contemporary pizzazz," stated FSU President Eric J. Barron during the rededication ceremony that was held to celebrate the project's completion in late 2011.
Excerpts from Masonry Design Magazine
"In the 1930s, sustainability was about self-sufficiency," said lead architect Beverly Frank of Gould Evans Associates. "The campus creamery and cannery were great examples of that. Today, a major goal of creating sustainable building environments has to do with energy efficiency and a 'building science' approach to design and construction. A great deal of the remodeling within the existing building involved elements that are not seen or immediately evident, such as insulating the entire building with closed-cell spray foam and installing energy-efficient windows and mechanical systems."
As another example of an energy-saving measure, the building is outfitted with motion-sensitive lighting that activates at 50 percent of their potential brightness. With the touch of a switch, the lighting can be brought up to 100 percent, but in most cases the reduced lighting level is sufficient, according to Frank.

The William Johnston Building now houses the following units:
DIVISION OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES
The ground floor, which has been nicknamed "Johnston Ground," will house five primary departments. The Academic Center for Excellence Learning Studio will serve as a central location for academic workshops, drop-in or by-appointment tutoring, and study-skills consultations. The Reading-Writing Center will offer writing assistance to students across all majors. The Digital Studio will provide support to individuals or groups working on digital projects, from website design to podcast script writing. The Advising First Center for Exploratory Students will assist students in selecting a major by helping them to place passion and purpose at the center of their educational decisions. And the Advising First College Life Coaching will assist new students in transitioning to the university and in making the most of their college experience.
"The ground floor of the new William Johnston Building offers students an innovative array of services designed to foster academic engagement and success," said Karen Laughlin, dean of Undergraduate Studies. "From freshman to senior year, all students will be welcome to make the most of the Johnston Ground resources as they work to fulfill their goals and aspirations here at FSU."
COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION
Part of the second floor will house the undergraduate programs in information technology and in information communication and technology, which are both part of the School of Library and Information Studies. Students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities: a 48-seat computer/teaching lab, a hands-on server room, an audiovisual lab with 3-D TV production capabilities, the iSpace Open Source Laboratory, and the Health Informatics Lab.
"The Johnston Building was redesigned and reorganized with interdisciplinary collaboration in mind," said Larry Dennis, dean of the College of Communication and Information. "We are excited about the opportunity to work closely with our colleagues from around the university, to learn more about their activities, and to integrate what we know about information and communication technology with their work."
COLLEGE OF HUMAN SCIENCES
All three of the college's departments will be represented on parts of the third and fourth floors.
Nutrition, Food and Exercise Sciences will have a nutritional research laboratory and instructional laboratories for exercise testing, body composition, athletic training, nutrition informatics, experimental foods and food science.
Family and Child Sciences will have space for teaching and faculty research on family process and evidence-based interventions.
"With these new classrooms and laboratories that are specially designed for our programs, our faculty will deliver even more innovative instruction to students," said Billie J. Collier, dean of the College of Human Sciences. "And we will be proud to showcase the space to our industry partners."
COLLEGE OF VISUAL ARTS, THEATRE AND DANCE
Parts of the first, second and third floors will house three of the four departments of the School of Art and Design: Art History, Art Education and Interior Design. (The Department of Art remains at the Fine Arts Building at the corner of Copeland and Call streets.)
"This remarkable new building will provide state-of-the-art facilities to these top-tier programs," said Sally McRorie, dean of the College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance. "With shared spaces from a gallery and a resource library to labs and studios with specialized technology, this new home brings these three members of our School of Art and Design into closer collaboration on research and teaching. It's an engaging environment that is as conducive to learning in the 21st century as it is beautiful."

Exclusive Premiere: Heartbreak Reigns on Rei Brown's 'i feel so cold' EP
Love is a tricky thing: That something so amazing can come with so much pain almost makes it seem like a double-edged sword. When you're in love, nothing else matters – yet when love is lost, the impact is devastating. Such is the case with Japanese singer/songwriter Rei Brown, whose two-song EP i feel so cold radiates with the bone-chilling power of a love that ran its course.
Is it warm in california, i bet it is
the days feel so much longer, without you here
Oh i miss you so much
I can almost feel your touch
Listen: i feel so cold EP – rei brown
i feel so cold – rei brown
Atwood Magazine is proud to be premiering i feel so cold, Rei Brown's breathtaking two-song EP. Heartbreak reigns supreme on "I Feel So Cold" and "Is It Too Late?" as Brown captures the pain of love in song. Armed only with a guitar and his voice, the singer/songwriter is raw and vulnerable as he lays to record a haunting moment in time.
Brown's explanation of his musical offering is short, but powerful – not unlike the songs themselves: "Two love songs I recorded to cassette — one recorded in the peak of the relationship and the other at the end. The songs are all that's left…" Brown's visceral emotions emanate through mortal words that come straight from the soul:
with the lights of the car pointing into the dark
and the station was close but why did it feel so far
and you held my hand but it only made me sad
when you said don't look back what did you mean by that
Ooo is it too late
as we stood in the cold, your head against my chest
and the snow in your hair, melted beneath my breath
and I tried to tell you but I was too afraid
baby please won't you stay, thats what I meant to say
Though "I Feel So Cold" may come from the peak of Brown's relationship, its touching strength comes out of knowing there came an end. To feel cold in the absence of another is to live and breath love, that powerful force that spreads warmth throughout the world. Yet there is another cold that comes out in "Is It Too Late" – the longing and stinging loss of a quenched flame. Brown's minimalist acoustic performance makes his message all the more intense: His hurting is real, encapsulated in the pluck of his strings and the tone of his voice.
Rei Brown's pain is our pain. Enjoy this fantastic, harrowingly human capsule of heartbreak.
'i feel so cold' is available on iTunes, Spotify, Tidal

Q: Yii2 ActiveRecord with relation result convert to JSON I have a database table called textAreas with a Yii2 ActiveRecord model with a primary key id column (and some other columns, but they don't matter).
I also have a table called text with a Yii2 ActiveRecord model, which is called TextCtrl, with a primary key id, foreign key textControllerId which is linked to id from textAreas, a column called lang and a column called content. One textArea has many texts (which is basically the same text in different languages).
Now the user is able to select a language. Then I would like to select all textAreas out of the table and provide them with the correct content, based on the lang selection of the user.
Normally this is done by a SQL join, but I thought the ActiveRecord should also provide this functionality.
My code so far:
textAreas.php:
//TextAreas.php ActiveRecord model for table textAreas

class TextAreas extends ActiveRecord
{
    /**
     * @property int $id
     * @property int $width
     * @property int $height
     */

    /**
     * @ignore
     */
    public static function tableName()
    {
        return "{{textAreas}}";
    }

    /**
     * Get all textAreas and their dimensions if user is authorized and website in development mode
     */
    public static function getAllTextAreas()
    {
        // check if user is authorized and website is in development mode
        if(! Yii::$app->user->can('updateContent') || YII_ENV != 'dev')
        {
            $textArea = 'notAuthorized';
            return [$textArea];
        }

        // get all textareas and their properties
        $textArea = self::find()
            ->joinWith('text')
            ->all();

        return $textArea;
    }

    /**
     * fill textareas with content
     * @param int $lang language setting, if null language from session is used
     */
    public function getText($lang = null)
    {
        //get language from session
        if(!$lang)
        {
            $lang = LangCtrl::getStoredLanguage();
        }

        //return the content
        return $this->hasOne(TextCtrl::className(), ['textControllerId' => 'id'])
                ->where(['lang' => $lang]);
    }
}

textCtrl.php ActiveRecord model for text table:
//TextCtrl ActiveRecord model for text table

class TextCtrl extends ActiveRecord
{
    /**
     * @property int $id
     * @property int $textControllerId id of text block on web page
     * @property int $lang language of text
     * @property string $content the text itself
     */

    /**
     * @ignore
     */
    public static function tableName()
    {
        return "{{text}}";
    }

    //Other methods which don't matter
}

Now, in a controller action I'm doing this:
$textAreas = TextAreas::getAllTextAreas();

$response = Yii::$app->response;
$response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON;

return $textAreas;

Which gives the result:
[{"id":1,"width":100,"height":16},{"id":2,"width":100,"height":16}, more database entries...]

But I actually wanted something like
[{"id":1,"width":100,"height":16,"content":"MyContent1"},{"id":2,"width":100,"height":16,"content":"MyContent2"}, more database entries...]

Where the content fields are filled with the contents from the text table.
Is somebody able to provide some help?

A: Sure, you can add new field in fields() method, based on your relation:
public function fields()
{
    return array_merge(
        parent::fields(),
        [
            'content' => function () {
                if (!$this->text) {
                    return '';
                }

                return $this->text->content;
            },
        ]
    );
}

A: Take a look at Converting Objects to Arrays:
$textAreas = TextAreas::getAllTextAreas();

$response = Yii::$app->response;
$response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON;

return ArrayHelper::toArray($textAreas, [
    TextAreas::class => [
        'id',
        'width',
        'height',
        'content' => function ($data) {
            return $data->text->text;
        },
    ],
]);

Blue Square Bet North club Workington midfielder Will Vaulks could be on the verge of a move to Falkirk after having a….
….trial with the Scottish First Division side.
Vaulks is on a rolling contract with Reds after being released by Tranmere Rovers a month ago.
They are expecting to make a decision on the teenager this week and he may be offered a contract.
Any move would mean a double blow for Reds, who are having to adjust to life without Joe Mwasile after the Morecambe man ended his loan spell in Cumbria on Saturday.
The winger ended his three-month loan stay with one of the few bright performances in Reds' 3-0 defeat at lowly Histon.
Workington boss Darren Edmondson said: "Obviously we are sorry to see Joe go because he's been a breath of fresh air while he's been here. He has scored goals and shown exceptional ability on the ball. I feel sure it will have given his career a lift.
"What we have to do now is try and find someone to come in and fill the gap left by Joe, which won't be easy.
Mwasile hopes the stay at Workington will have given his career a boost.
"I've enjoyed it immensely because they are a great group of players. It's been a pleasure to play alongside them as I've learnt a lot playing with the Reds. I hope now that I can challenge for a first-team place at Morecambe. I know they have been keeping an eye on my progress at Workington and fingers crossed I can get a chance," he said.
Edmondson was disappointed with the Histon defeat but still feels there is enough ability in the squad to get back into play-off contention.


We present to your attention the recipe of another insanely delicious salad. In Germany, for this dish, they prefer to use small potatoes. Due to this cooking does not take much time. Brew it always in the skin, while retaining more vitamins and form. This wonderful salad can be served not only as a snack, but also as an independent dish.
1. First, boil potatoes in a uniform. Then cool it and cut it into cubes.
2. Onions cut into half rings and scalded with boiling water. Do this so that the bitterness is gone.
3. Marinaded cucumbers cut into circles.
4. Smoked sausage cut into strips.
5. Then combine all the prepared ingredients and add garlic, previously passed through the press. Then add mustard and greens. Salt, pepper and season with oil to taste.

show details › hide details ›
A city of kings and saints, a city of professors, scholars and students, a city of Christians and Jews, a city of rich merchants and artists. John Paul II said: "Those who wish to hear the beating of the Polish heart must come to Kraków"
Day 1: Kraków
Arriva l in Kraków. Your driver will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel. In the afternoon we invite you to a traditional Polish restaurant in the Old Town, where you will have a chance to try Polish cuisine. Overnight stay in Kraków
Day 2: Kraków – sightseeing tour
In th e morning we will take you on a sightseeing tour of the Old Town during which you will discover the beauty of magical Kraków. As you walk along the Royal Way you will observe how Polish culture has been shaped over long centuries. You will marvel at the Market Square, the biggest of its kind in Europe, the Sukiennice Cloth Hall, St. Mary's Church, the Jagiellonian University and Wawel Hill. At noon exactly you will hear the Kraków Hejnał (bugle call) played by a fireman trumpeter, who can be seen in a gothic window in the highest tower of St. Mary's Church. On the other hand, from the tower of Wawel Cathedral, where you can touch the largest bell in Poland, the Sigismund Bell, there is a wonderful view of the Old Town.
After your tour finishes, you will have the time to enjoy the charms of this bewitching city and have lunch in a garden restaurant in the medieval Old Town. Overnight stay in Kraków.
Day 3: Kraków – optional day trip
After breakfast you can take either a day trip to charming Zakopane in the very heart of the Tatras or, alternatively, go on one of a number of equally attractive excursions in the area around Kraków. In Zakopane, the capital of the Polish Tatra Mountains, you will be able to learn about Polish handicrafts and buy some hand-made souvenirs. During your visit you can have lunch in a traditional Highlander restaurant to the accompaniment of a folk troupe. After this veritable feast for the palate your guide will take you by mountain railway up Mount Gubałówka, where you will be able to marvel at the whole Zakopane ensconced among the peaks of the Tatras.
You will return to Kraków in the afternoon. Overnight stay in Kraków.
Wh en you visit the city you will find yourself going back into the past as it is one of very few cities in Poland that have preserved its historic shape. The city also offers a wide spectrum of festivals, cultural events, museums, art galleries, theatres, historic cellars, clubs, bars and restaurants with live music. It is an excellent destination for all the travellers: those who want to drop by just for a weekend and those keen to spend more time in the Małopolska region.
Having escaped destruction during World War II, the city has uniquely retained its charming medieval shape. The central Market Square (largest in Europe!) offers several architectural and cultural landmarks.It is also the city heartbeat. The Cloth Hall (Sukiennice, 13th century) stands in the middle of the square and today houses a gallery of Polish paintings on the first floor and a market selling local artefacts and souvenirs on the ground floor. Opposite the Cloth Hall there is St. Mary's Church, world-famous for its altar carved by Veit Stoss. Kraków is also a seat of higher education. It is the home of the Jagiellonian University founded in 1364 and thus one of the oldest in Europe. Collegium Maius, the University's oldest building and today the University Museum, is located near the Market Square. The Royal Route leads along Grodzka Street up to Wawel Hill from which the Royal Residence and Cathedral overlook the River Vistula. Wawel Castle, which houses one of the largest collections of tapestries in Europe, is also an interesting example of Renaissance architecture. The Cathedral was the coronation place of many Polish kings, and also their final resting place. Other must-see monuments include the Barbican, Floriańska Gate, and numerous churches, each steeped in history.
South from Wawel Hill lies the district of Kazimierz, which, beginning in the 16th century, became the principal cultural centre of the Jewish community with its own exotic flavour. Its soul perished during the traumatic events of the Second World War, but many of its buildings, some still with Yiddish inscriptions, survived. Today Jewish life and culture is undergoing a revival in Kazimierz, as it is visible in the number of restored buildings in the district and in fashionable cafes, restaurants and bars filled with tourists from all over the world, curious to learn more about Jewish culture. Highlights include Szeroka Street where "Schindler's List" was filmed, Isaac, High, and Old Synagogues, Remuh Synagogue and Cemetery, and the Pod Orłem ("Eagle") Pharmacy.
Wieliczka Salt Mine (half day tour)
T his incredible place was once described as being 'as remarkable as the Pyramids and more useful'! Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous attractions in the Kraków area. Guided tours of the mine commence 65m underground and lead through rooms, passages and great chambers to a depth of 135m. Major curiosities include the underground lake with its stunning colours and the beautiful St. Kinga's Chapel, a remarkable underground 'cathedral' where every feature has been carved out of solid salt! There's even an underground post office made out of salt, too!
Auschwitz-Birkenau – Museum of Martyrdom (half day tour)
Experien ce one of the most memorable lessons of modern European history. You will see a film showing the camp's liberation, the flower strewn Death Wall, national memorials, the railway line and ramp and the remains of hundreds of barracks, all of which form a moving testimony to the number of lost lives as a result of Nazi atrocities across occupied Europe.
Zakopane mountain resort (full day tour)
Zakopane i s one of Poland's prime tourist destinations and retains a charm which also attracts thousands of foreign visitors. The town is located in stunning scenic surroundings. It is nestled in the Tatra National Park in the heart of the magnificent Tatra Mountains. It offers numerous walking and hiking opportunities in the nearby valleys and peaks. Zakopane is also well known for its unique wooden architecture, decorative style and tasty regional highlander dishes.
Dunajec River Gorge – raft trip (full day tour)
You ca n enjoy a gentle raft trip set against a wonderful backdrop of forests and sheer limestone crags. Starting from Sromowce Kąty, you will embark on wooden rafts navigated downstream by local raftsmen in traditional regional costumes. The journey takes 2 to 3 hours depending on the water level and ends in Szczawnica
Jasna Góra ("Bright Mount") Monastery in Częstochowa (full day tour)
Jasna G óra, a place of pilgrimage for thousands every year, is the most important Marian shrine in Poland. The focal point is the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin with its miraculous icon of the Black Madonna. The Museum, Treasury and Arsenal are also well worth a visit.
Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, Wadowice and Łagiewniki (full day tour)
Thre e places of great significance to Poles. Wadowice is the birthplace of Karol Wojtyła, Pope John Paul II and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is a major pilgrimage centre and itsBernadine Monastery, the Church of the Virgin and Via Dolorosa together form a unique complex in a marvelous hillside location and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meanwhile, the Basilica of God's Mercy and the Congregation of the Sisters of Lady Mary of Mercy in Łagiewniki are the two most important sites for those following the route of St. Faustina, as she lived and worked there for many years. She also died in the congregation house and was buried in a nearby cemetery. In 2002 a new Basilica and pilgrimage centrewere opened during the Pope's visit to Kraków
Pieskowa Skała Castle and Ojców Valley (half day excursion)
Pieskowa Skała Castleis the best-preserved castle on the Eagles' Nest Trail. It is beautifully located in the Ojców Valley, which is a perfect hiking area. The castle's museum offers two main exhibitions: one covers the history of the building and the other illustratesthe development of European arts from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
Pszczyna Castle and a visit to local brewery (full day tour)
This castl e is often called the 'Silesian Versailles' and today houses an extensive collection of furniture and interior decorations. Pszczyna has close connections with many aristocratic European families and hosted visits from European royalty, including the future King Edward VII. The residence is surrounded by a park with a fascinating and delightful system of ponds. You can enjoy a different view of the magnificent surroundings from one of the boats available there.
After your visit to the castle you will be taken to local brewery with a tradition stretching back to the early 17th century. During your visit to the brewery you will also have an opportuninty to try local beer.
Nowa Huta (half day tour)
Nowa Huta, meaning "New Steelworks", is a suburban district of Kraków. However, with more than 200 000 inhabitants it is virtually a city in itself. It was planned as a separate town and a huge centre of heavy industry near Kraków. The communist authorities wanted it to be a "model" town populated mainly by workers employed in the associated industries. The Lenin Steel Works was opened in 1954 and over the next 20 years grew to become the biggest steel mill in Poland. The city itself expanded rapidly in the 1960s. The monumental 'Rennaissance' style of the Central Square (Plac Centralny) is surrounded by huge blocks of flats and this mammoth core is seen as an icon of the architectural school of 'Socialist Realism'. However, one building that lacked the communists' vision of Nowa Huta was a church. A campaign to establish one gained pace after the election of Cardinal Karol Wojtyła as Pope John Paul II and the rise of Solidarity. The latter made the issue an important focus of its activities. A visit to Nowa Huta demonstrates in a real and powerful way the impact of Stalinist ideology on town planning and urban development in the 20th century and its redevelopment after the fall of communism.
Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec (half day tour)
The Abbe y at Tyniec is situated on a vertical rock above the beautifully meandering Vistula River near Kraków. Just like centuries ago, pilgrims and ordinary travellers make their way across the river by ferry. They continue along to the old monastery, drawn by its beautiful Romanesque towers.
The church has retained the atmosphere of medieval temples, even though it was rebuilt in the 18th century. We involuntarily lower our voices upon entering, especially if we arrive during the hour of prayer by the monks, because Tyniec is a living abbey. For nearly 1,000 years, the monks of St. Benedict have been praying and working here in accordance with the motto "Ora et labora". Surrounding the abbey, there are extensive gardens where they grow fruit, vegetables and herbs. You can learn the secrets of the cuisine with one of the monastic cookbooks or buy ready-made products in the monastery shop.
In the Benedictine scriptorium, they no longer copy books manually, but they search for and translate rare medieval texts and even modern works by Christian thinkers. The Benedictine Institute of Culture at the monastery organises a series of lectures, days for gathering and retreats, workshops of former crafts and theatre meetings. Throughout the centuries, the monks of St. Benedict have tried to combine spirituality with work for others.
Museums in Kraków
JOHN PAUL II CENTER KRAKÓW
The JohnPaul II Centre "Do not be afraid!" in Kraków-Łagiewniki is the most important centre in Polandand the world dedicated to the living memory of the figure and the work of the Polish Pope. The Centre continues the work started by the John Paul II Institute. It was established to commemorate the great heritage of the person and pontificate of the Servant of God, Pope John Paul II, so that his example and words can be passed down to future generations.
UNDERGROUND MARKET
The first underground museum in Poland … and unique to the world. The exhibition entitled "Following the Traces of European Identity in Kraków" is a multimedia spectacle, a journey through time. Not only do visitors get to see, but also they touch the history of the origins of this legendary city. In this archaeological site, located more than 4 metres below the surface of the market, you can see an unparalleled in Europe cross-section of a large, vibrant, medieval Kraków. The monuments discovered here testify to a tradition of trade, which had been carried out in this place for over 800 years.
SCHINDLER'S FACTORY
This is a new branch of the Historical Museum of Kraków,, where you can visit the exhibition "Kraków, Under Nazi Occupation 1939-1945", which has been set up in the former administrative building of Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory at 4 Lipowa Street. The exhibition is the story of Kraków, and the fate of its Polish and Jewish citizens during World War II, but it is also about the German occupiers, who arrived here on 6 September 1939 and brutally interrupted the centuries-old history of a Polish-Jewish Kraków,. Here, the grand history of WWII intersects with everyday life ... private life – a tragedy that affected the entire world. The exhibition has been implemented using means that go beyond those used in traditional museum exhibitions. The creators of this artistic arrangement have given the exposition a nature of theatre-film stories.
POLISH AVIATION MUSEUM
The Museum is located within the former area of the Rakowice-Czyżyny airport and gathers items related to the history of aviation. The number of aircraft here currently exceeds 200. Most of the exhibits transferred to the Museum have been decommissioned by the military or state authorities, and a part of them have come here via an exchange with other museums around the world. The Museum issues its own publications and organises educational events. It is also a participant and organiser of conferences on the history of aviation and museology.
MUSEUM OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF POLAND
On an area of approx. 3,000 m² in the former Świadowid cinema in the district of Nowa Huta, a modern multimedia museum has been created, dedicated to the history of Poland from 1944-1989 (estimated time of opening in 2013). The story of the People's Republic of Poland is designed to be a reminder and a warning against totalitarianism and oppression. It will show the different aspects of life during this period. Within the Museum, there will be everyday objects, advertisements, prints, photographs as well as recordings from radio, television, newsreels and clips of feature films and documentaries. Currently, a variety of temporary exhibitions are being organised.
GALICIA JEWISH MUSEUM
The Galicia Museum was established to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and to present the history and culture of the Jews in a new light. The Museum is located in Kazimierz, the heart of the former Jewish district. Its aim is to revise the traditional stereotypes about the Jewish history of Poland and to help both Poles and Jews understand their own history. The permanent exhibition, "Traces of Memory", has gained recognition in the eyes of visitors and critics from around the world. The Museum also organises temporary guest exhibitions. The Multimedia Education Centre has a continuously expanding collection of unique films about Jewish culture and the Holocaust, and the Museum bookshop is one of the largest of its kind in Poland.
MUSEUM OF CZARTORYSKI PRINCES
The Czartoryski Museum, the oldest museum in Poland, is associated with the name of one of the most distinguished old Polish magnate families. It was founded in Puławy in 1801 by Princess Izabela Flemming Czartoryska. Since the inception of the Museum, it has had a national character, and it was established for future generations of Poles in order to preserve the monuments of culture and art saved by the Princess. The Museum, along with the Library and the Czartoryski family Kraków residence, are located in a group of buildings along Św. Jana and Pijarska Streets. The Museum buildings include: the former city Arsenal, the palace building (called Klasztorek) and three tenements bought by Prince Władysław. Some of the greatest masterpieces of painting are in the possession of the Czartoryski Museum, including paintings by Leonardo da Vinci – Lady with an Ermine, and Rembrandt – Landscape with the Good Samaritan. A lengthy modernisation of the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków began on 11 January 2010.

I found St. Mary's open. It is another church with the Hertfordshire 'spike' on it – a spirelet really but characteristic of this area. What is most interesting about St. Mary's is inside. There is a walk around guide and some notelets for sale as well as a history booklet. These are all common but here, under the tower, is a good display about the First World War. It gives a lot of detail about some of the local people who fought, and died, in that conflict. It also puts it into context. A lot of work has gone into this. There is a rather odd war memorial here which is designed like an altar. I haven't seen anything quite like this before.
There is also a prayer board and a sand tray to light candles. 'Saints and Pilgrims' also appears too. The website – http://www.standrewsmuchhadham.org.uk/index.php/st-mary-the-virgin-albury doesn't mention the WW1 display nor give visitor information which is a shame.


Recently, the Pacific Coast University for Workplace Health Sciences met a milestone with the instalment of Founding Chancellor, the Honourable Wayne G Wouters. RATIO's history with the university started when chosen by PCU-WHS to develop a site master plan and to design the first building based on a mutual devotion to this outstanding cause. Our work was completed in 2011.
Congratulations to Vancity for their first LEED Platinum for Commercial Interiors for their Mount Tolmie community branch in Victoria on Vancouver Island. RATIO acted as the prime consultant and was responsible for the planning and design of the of the 5000 square foot space. This project was another opportunity for Vancity to build a healthy, productive, community-minded space with a reduced environmental footprint. We are our proud that our work on Vancity's Mount Tolmie branch resulted in a LEED Platinum for Commercial Interiors rating.
This year, BC Rivers Day coincides with World Rivers Day on Sunday September 27, 2015. BC Rivers Day is a chance to celebrate the province's rivers, and to reflect on what we stand to lose if we fail to take better care of them. RATIO's work has taken them all over the province working on projects related to our most precious resource, BC's rivers and waterways.
The design solution for the new recreation centre was to update the original uninspiring facility with a new, more prominent frontage that reflects the importance of this civic structure in the community.
Pitt Meadows residents can now enjoy a modern, welcoming recreation centre. The modernized and expanded fitness centre is bright with natural light, welcoming and triple the size.
This important civic multi-use facility in Pitt Meadows also houses the community policing office.

Project: An Immigrant's Perspective
This teacher curriculum-development and student field trip program was designed for 6th-12th grade teachers of English language arts, Spanish, and social studies. The curriculum An Immigrant's Perspective utilizes artwork from the National Museum of Mexican Art's permanent collection and texts about the immigrant experience to broaden student understanding of U.S. history by providing the alternative points of view through diverse Mexican immigrant experiences of courage, struggle, and survival. Students approach these histories through the lens of the artwork and biographies of Mexican-American artists Luis Jiménez and Carlos Cortéz, thereby increasing their visual analysis skills, and their understanding of printmaking as an art form and its significance in Mexican American culture. During curriculum piloting in 2013, students whose teachers participated in curriculum planning visited the museum for a field trip, where they learned about the artwork and artists firsthand.
Student learning objectives:
Understand the history of Mexican immigration to the United States with an emphasis on personal stories in order to humanize a frequently overlooked population, while also learning how to interpret immigration statistics such as census data.
Learn about historic and current-day United States public policy toward Mexican immigrants.
Gain writing, close reading, and speaking and listening skills, which align with Common Core State Standards.
Learn how to conduct a close read of an artwork.
Learn about printmaking and its significance in Mexican American culture through the life and work of artists Luis Jiménez and Carlos Cortéz.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.3 Analyze how and why different elements interact in a text/work of art.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.7 Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.
There is a strong need for bilingual curriculum materials about art and culture. Many students who attended this program had never been to an art museum.
"Muchas gracias a ti y a tu equipo por habernos dado la oportunidad de exponer a nuestros estudiantes, especialmente mis estudiantes de ESL que nunca habían tenido la oportunidad de conocer algo sobre arte y de visitar a un museo." —Olga E. (teacher) [Translation: "Many thanks to you and your team for giving us the opportunity to expose our students, especially my ESL students who had never had the opportunity to learn something about art or visit a museum."]
"I was impressed with my students. Many were right on point." —Gregg C. (teacher)

Project: Summer Teacher Institute
The DuSable Museum of African American History, Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, National Museum of Mexican Art, and Smart Museum of Art co-host an annual Summer Teacher Institute that fuses American art, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and the vision of museums, educators, and students as agents for social change. The program launched in 2013 as an outcome of the Terra Foundation's American Art at the Core of Learning program.
The July 2014 Summer Teacher Institute, Activating Art for Peace and Justice, was a five-day intensive experience exploring American art at the crossroads of peace and justice. American artists are known for creating work which supports consciousness-raising, movement-building, and enacting social change. During the Institute, teachers, museum professionals, and guest presenters gathered to develop methods to guide students in examining historical art to uncover the systems that construct individual and cultural identities, while cultivating insights and inspiration for peacemaking and social justice.
The Summer Teacher Institute engaged teachers with museum collections from each participating organization and introduced best practices in art education including Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and facilitated dialogue. Armed with tools for critical visual literacy, educators developed arts-integrated curricula exploring themes of peace and justice to take back to their classrooms. In addition, participating teachers scheduled field trips to bring their classes to one or more of the participating cultural organizations.
Program website: http://www.hullhousemuseum.org/summer-teacher-institute/
Teachers will learn about resources from the Jane Addams Hull House Museum, Smart Museum, National Museum of Mexican Art, and the DuSable Museum.
Teachers will increase knowledge About American art that examines and reflects social change and democratic ideals from the late 19th century.
Teachers will learn art interpretation strategies to discuss issues of peace and justice.
Key Ideas and Details:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.R.1
Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.
Analyze how and why individuals, events, or ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas:
Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words.
Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take.
Activating Art for Peace and Justice employed a robust evaluation plan to understand the impact of the project. Ultimately our evaluation revealed that the STI was a positive, refreshing, engaging, and inspiring experience for teachers.
Many participants described Activating Art for Peace and Justice as an inspiring experience. The sources for this inspiration included the interactive activities, teaching strategies, sense of community within the cohort, and the overall fun and festive mood of Activating Art for Peace and Justice. Participants believe that this sense of inspiration will improve their teaching quality and that it will last throughout the school year.
The Smart Museum and the other facilitating organizations received helpful feedback from STI participants that directly impacted the 2015 iteration of the Summer Teacher Institute. Participants requested more time to engage with art and model techniques in the galleries as well as extended time for touring and becoming familiar with the museum collections.
"I feel like the whole week has provided me with enough ideas/inspiration/strategies to fill a whole year. These will all be integrated into my curriculum for years to come, from the VTS/facilitated dialogue to the different icebreakers (i.e. value line, privilege line, root cause tree, etc.) i am so inspired and excited."
"THANK YOU! PLEASE OFFER MORE PROGRAMS LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE! It is so very rare to have the opportunity to work with like-minded, positive individuals as we share our ideas about social justice issues, lesson plans, challenges, art inspiration… We need more positive, action-minded opportunities like this."
"I know that by attending this seminar my teaching of the visual art program at my school will increase in quality 100%!"
"The best part about this was that it was longer term than most other professional development opportunities and we got to discuss and collaborate with other passionate teachers. Everyone (participants and facilitator) is so positive. Wish I could work with these individuals all the time."
"The instructor and staff's knowledge made me feel comfortable with the material myself. It also inspired me to push myself out of my regular teaching habits because their knowledge gave me so many new ideas about implementation of thinking strategies."
"I have learned a great deal about how to facilitate discussions around some topics that may seem intimidating at first, especially at the elementary level. I feel like I have a good grasp of how to get my students to participate in conversations that revolve around issues that they deal with or maybe push them to think critically about social justice issues/justice/peace in ways that they don't get to in other classrooms."
"I learned new strategies for questioning and got very comfortable with them. I feel very motivated to use open-ended questioning and visuals to explore these social justice issues–No wrong answers :)"
"I've learned so much about how to weave together social justice issues with my art curriculum in elementary school. Having the opportunity to do this with educators from across the city/across grade levels/across subject area has also inspired me to look at art with fresh eyes and think of new ways to introduce and discuss familiar themes."

A group of students from Guilford College (Greensboro, NC) have just finished their semester abroad attending Italian language, Art History and Music History courses at our Scuola Leonardo da Vinci campus in Siena. Students also participated in a beginning drawing course taught by Guilford professor Roy Nydorf, which focused on Renaissance and late Medieval techniques and approaches to drawing such as rendering of light and form, cityscapes, architecture, and narrative elements.
We organized a small one-day exhibition of the drawings and invited all the Leonardo da Vinci students, the Guilford host families, and other special guests to a reception with terrific food and drinks. The feedback was good for the students and it was a fun and happy occasion for all!

Single Embryo OK for Older Women

Embryo Quality Key to IVF Success

By Salynn Boyles
Medically Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD on May 31, 2006
May 31, 2006 – When it comes to assisted reproduction, embryo quality rather than a woman's age should determine whether one or two embryos are transferred, new research suggests.
Researchers in Finland report that infertile women between the ages of 36 and 39 with good quality embryos had just as much success in conceiving when a single embryo was transferred following in vitro fertilization (IVF) as younger women.
In the U.S. and many other countries, the transfer of two embryos is the norm in women over the age of 35 to maximize the chances of achieving a successful pregnancypregnancy. But the practice dramatically increases the risk of twin births, which are far more risky than single-delivery births.
40% Delivered Babies
The Finnish study included only women older than 35 and younger than 40 who received either elective single embryo transfers with good quality or poorer quality embryos or double embryo transfers.
About a third of the women achieved a pregnancy with single embryo transfer using a high-quality embryo and a quarter had a live birth after just one try. These figures are comparable to those seen in earlier studies of younger women.
When more than one attempt with single embryo transfer was made using frozen embryos, 40% of the older women in the study with good quality embryos ended up delivering a baby.
The twin birth rate in women who got elective single embryo transfers was just 2%, compared with nearly 17% in the double embryo transfer group. The study is published in the June issue of the journal Human Reproduction.
"As well as elective selective embryo transfer having the potential to be as successful in women up to 40 as it is in younger women, it also reduces the risk of multiple births compared with double embryo transfer and therefore increases the safety of assisted reproduction in this age group," senior researcher Hannu Martikainen, MD, noted.
It's Different in the U.S.
Assisted reproduction specialist David Adamson, MD, FRCSC, agrees that embryo quality is more important than a woman's age in determining whether she should have a single or double embryo transfer when undergoing assisted reproduction.
But he adds that very significant differences in the U.S. and Finnish population of women undergoing IVF and embryo transfer make comparisons between the two groups difficult.
Adamson is vice president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. He is in private practice in Palo Alto, Calif.
IVF can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 in the U.S., and the patient typically pays the tab. In Finland and other Scandinavian countries, assisted reproduction is free to the patient.
American women usually try cheaper infertility treatments before they move on to IVF, while women in Finland are more likely to be offered IVF from the start. Because of this, American women tend to be older when they first have IVF and they may have more severe infertility.
Adamson points out that roughly five times as many women in Finland have IVF as in America.
"It is easy to see that if five times as many women are doing this, many of them have less severe infertility," Adamson says. "They have not failed other therapies like many women in the U.S."
He adds that the women in the study were highly selected, with only 27% considered to be good candidates for single embryo transfer. Almost three-quarters of the women in the study were not considered good candidates because the embryos available for transfer were of poorer quality.
Adamson says it is clear that there are still too many multiple births occurring with assisted reproduction in the United States, but he says progress has been made.
The transfer of three and even more embryos was common just a few years ago, but it is rare today unless the embryos are of very poor quality. As a result assisted reproduction-related triplet births were reduced by half between the late 1990s and 2003.
Reproductive endocrinologists in the U.S. are increasingly recommending single embryo transfer to their patients with good-quality embryos, Adamson says. But more often than not, patients reject the idea because they are more concerned about IVF failure than having twins.
"Multiple births are an important problem, but we must not forget that the purpose of assisted reproduction is to get a baby," Adamson says. "The only way to ensure no multiples is to have no live births at all."

I am new in xslt . so i tried couple of method which i found on google. but its not working.
I want to group all the base 64 image which present in "Measurement" Tag
then subgroup those images which have same "name" property inside the "Level" tag which present just above the "Measurement" Tag.

A: Your required output is not too clear, but here's an example where you would get the Measurements grouped by the name of their parent Level.
Then I just copied the Measurement node, but you could choose to keep only your required attributes.

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each-group select="//Measurement" group-by="../@name">
        <xsl:element name="Level">
            <xsl:attribute name="name" select="current-grouping-key()"/>
            <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
                <xsl:copy-of select="current()"/>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:element>

This 33-1/3 Star Trek record, unlike the other vinyl covers being featured this week, is a personal relic that has survived from my 1970s childhood. We pulled it out of a box in the far reaches of the basement while cleaning out the house on Oak Crest Lane last year.
I had a few cool Trek things as a kid, including a model Enterprise1, and watched TOS reruns all the time. And we're still a Star Trek family here in 2016. Sarah is reading the novel Q-Space, by Greg Cox, as I type this post. Also, earlier this week I was checking out the wonder that is Star Trek Continues after hearing an interview with star Vic Mignogna on Coast to Coast AM.
This record was published in 1975 by Power Records, which was a label of Peter Pan Records. There were, I learned, eleven different Star Trek stories released via 23 different records from 1975 through 1979, as the franchise was relaunching with Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I learned this from the fantastic website maintained by Curt Danhauser. It lists all of the records that were released, details the original stories and has tons of other great information. You should definitely check it out.
My record was the first one released. It contained the stories "Passage to Moauv," "In Vino Veritas" and "The Crier in the Emptiness." I can still remember listening to and enjoying them, especially the sound effects of the cat-like critter in "Passage to Moauv."
I do have a question/concern, however, about this record cover. If you look closely, you can see that the Enterprise is labeled the NCC 1311. What's up with that? Apparently, these releases suffered from accuracy problems in other areas, too. Some of the records were accompanied by comic books and, according to Danhauser's trivia page, the comic artists "depicted Uhura as a blond, Caucasian woman and Sulu as a black man in a uniform with a blue shirt, instead of his usual yellow shirt."
The back cover of this first record has Uhura correct, at least.

1. I have a fleeting recollection of having the Mego Enterprise Playset, but that might represent a faulty memory on my part. The mind can play tricks on you.


Both 3-door models or is the second one a 5-door? Would love to have a 5-door miami ..... Are both of them with blue/black velours interieur?
Why do give one of these away?
Still searching for a set of 5-door cards for putting my full leather seats in a 5-door 309. I found a 309 GT I am willing to buy to replace the 405.
couldn´t say no at this condition an dprice so I bought another old Peugeot 309 last weekend.
255000Kms on the clock, but the GTi is nearly without any typical rust probs and the seller always took care of it the last 13 years.
The only problem is , I wanted to have a 309 for salty wintertime but I fear this GTi is the wrong one for this job.
I had some changes in my 309-collection. Got me a miami GTi16 in summer 2015 and had a bit work to get it rebuilt.
Last edited by kesslfligga on Sun Dec 17, 2017 8:27 am, edited 1 time in total.
The white GTi needed a new camshaft at 299000 kilometers. At moment the GTi is stored and waiting for some love.
A bit sad I sold it but zwo GTi16 is too much for my pocket.
But I got me two other 309s for to restore.
A ph1 SX inj. and a GT in beige/beige.
The GT is a bit more work than the SX but if I can finish it I will have a pretty nice daily ride.
At the moment I have a 405 GRi for the winterdays to save my 309s from salt and damage.
Hope that there are still 309-lovers left here!

It's no secret that residential construction in New York City is booming, and it's become conspicuously obvious that size – most notably height – is paramount.
In 1932, the Central Park view from the Essex House 431 foot high 43rd story penthouse was described as "an unbroken vista, unequaled anywhere in the city." Today, it's become routine for new residential buildings to ascend more than 1,000 feet. 432 Park Avenue, being advertised as the "tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere," will soon top out at 1,396 feet, 146 feet higher than the 102nd floor Empire State Building Observatory. 221 West 57thStreet will rise even higher to 1,423 feet, a NYC residential record.
Given the near-stratospheric heights of new and planned residential high-rises which dwarf most commercial skyscrapers, why does New York City persist in exempting residential buildings from Local Law 26 Reference Standard 6-1 rules mandating installation of fail-safe, non-electric photoluminescent signs and pathway markings in egress stairwells? Why should the evacuation of a high-occupancy 40, 80 or 100 story residential apartment house be less orderly and efficient than evacuating a 75 foot high commercial building in which RS 6-1 compliant photoluminescent egress markings are required?
Photoluminescent safety pathway markings and signs have proved to enhance and facilitate building evacuations during fire and power blackout emergencies. Requiring no electrical, human or chemical intervention, these fail-safe markings glow spontaneously when light is dimmed or extinguished and illuminate a clear path to guide fleeing occupants safely down stairwells and out of the building. Once light is restored, the photoluminescent markers and signs automatically recharge.
Hasn't the time come for New York City to place the safety of residential building occupants on a par with commercial building tenants?

Landmark 1812 Constitution bridge opened in Cádiz

Cádiz - 24 Sep 2015-15:23 UTC
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Thursday inaugurated one of Europe's largest bridges, the Puente de la Constitución 1812, which links Cádiz with the town of Puerto Real, in southwestern Spain.
The bridge, named after an influential bill of rights drafted in the Andalusian city, represents a feat of engineering that will provide the near-island with its second over-the-water connection to the mainland. The middle portion of its five-kilometer span has removable decks to let large ships through, a significant issue in a major port like Cádiz.
But the project has also been fraught with controversy after the completion date was pushed back four years and the budget ballooned from the original €272 million to €511 million.
Around 300 local residents marched at either end of the bridge to demand jobs
Most recently, the new mayor of Cádiz, José María 'Kichi' González, complained that he had not been invited to the inauguration ceremony. González, of the leftist Por Cádiz sí se puede coalition, received a last-minute invite from the Popular Party (PP) government, but critics say that the conservatives – who ruled the city of Cádiz uninterruptedly from 1995 to May of this year – are using the bridge opening as part of their own campaign ahead of general elections due to be held later this year.
Also present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony was Andalusian regional premier Susana Díaz, of the Socialist Party, who said the bridge was for all citizens.
"It doesn't matter who cuts the ribbon, this work does not belong to anyone in particular, it belongs to everyone," said Díaz as she stood 69 meters above the sea. The highest point of the cable-stayed bridge is 185 meters.

Speaking after her, Rajoy delivered a similar message.
"We have to be capable of collaborating because the efforts are worth it," he said.
Following the ceremony, Cádiz Mayor González delivered a letter to Rajoy containing a report by Cádiz shipyard workers in which they expressed their fear over the lack of jobs in a sector that has been hard hit by international competition and the economic crisis.
"This is the real goal," said González about an area with one of Spain's highest unemployment rates – over 42 percent in early 2015 for Cádiz province.
Around 300 local residents marched at either end of the bridge to protest the fact that regular citizens had not been invited to the ceremony, and to demand more jobs.
English version by Susana Urra.
Taller than the Golden Gate
The bridge has a total height of 185 meters, with a clearance of 69 meters between the highest point of the deck and the water, making it the second tallest maritime bridge by clearance in the world, after the Verrazano-Narrows in New York and ahead of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
One of the decks is removable, allowing passage to particularly large ships requiring clearance of over 69 meters. This section is the largest in the world of its kind and is constructed entirely in steel.

Walker & Company, 9780802717054, 336pp.
Early in 1495, Leonardo da Vinci began work in Milan on what would become one of history's most influential and beloved works of art-"The Last Supper." After a dozen years at the court of Lodovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, Leonardo was at a low point personally and professionally: at forty-three, in an era when he had almost reached the average life expectancy, he had failed, despite a number of prestigious commissions, to complete anything that truly fulfilled his astonishing promise. His latest failure was a giant bronze horse to honor Sforza's father: His 75 tons of bronze had been expropriated to be turned into cannons to help repel a French invasion of Italy. The commission to paint "The Last Supper "in the refectory of a Dominican convent was a small compensation, and his odds of completing it were not promising: Not only had he never worked on a painting of such a large size-15' high x 30' wide-but he had no experience in the extremely difficult medium of fresco.
In his compelling new book, Ross King explores how-amid war and the political and religious turmoil around him, and beset by his own insecurities and frustrations-Leonardo created the masterpiece that would forever define him. King unveils dozens of stories that are embedded in the painting. Examining who served as the models for the Apostles, he makes a unique claim: that Leonardo modeled two of them on himself. Reviewing Leonardo's religious beliefs, King paints a much more complex picture than the received wisdom that he was a heretic. The food that Leonardo, a famous vegetarian, placed on the table reveals as much as do the numerous hand gestures of those at Christ's banquet.
As King explains, many of the myths that have grown up around "The Last Supper "are wrong, but its true story is ever more interesting. Bringing to life a fascinating period in European history, Ross King presents an original portrait of one of the world's greatest geniuses through the lens of his most famous work.
Ross King is the highly praised author of Brunelleschi's Dome (the Book Sense Nonfiction Book of the Year in 2000), Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling (on the New York Times extended bestseller list), The Judgment of Paris, Machiavelli: Philosopher of Power, and two novels, Ex Libris and Domino.

SPC57 M Line MCUs are based on the Power Architecture® core designed for entry-line powertrain (PWT) applications such as motorbikes and engine management systems (EMS) for 2-cylinder motors. They are particularly tailored to answer both the upcoming (2020/2023) new environmental standard requirements and the new safety regulations for motorbikes.
SPC57 M Line 32-bit MCUs combine enhanced features such as multiple signal conversion capabilities (knock detection, in-cylinder pressure signal preprocessing, etc.) and a powerful, fully configurable Generic Timer Module (GTM) with a comprehensive peripherals set, including SENT and Ethernet interfaces.
SPC57 M Line 32-bit MCUs are available down to 80 pins in a small eQFP package (10 x 10 mm) specifically fitting engine control units (ECU) with footprint optimization requirements.


Huawei Marine announced it has commenced work on Desk Study and Marine Survey works in conjunction with key investor Tropic Science Co., Ltd. (Tropical Science) to construct the Pakistan East Africa Cable Express (PEACE) submarine cable, which connects South Asia with East Africa. With initial work underway, the project is targeted for completion in Q4, 2019.
The project has a total length of 13,000 km, and will connect South Asia (Pakistan) and East Africa (Djibouti) and Kenya, with a northern expansion to Egypt and further southern expansion from Kenya to South Africa.
The project will facilitate connectivity from China to Pakistan via existing terrestrial cable networks and create the shortest route from China to Europe via Africa. This network topology substantially reduces existing network lengths by up to 50 percent and when completed, will provide a cost-effective, diverse route for the escalating demand for capacity between Asia, Africa and Europe.
Tropical Science believes Africa's market capacity is more attractive than many other regions as its networks are developing rapidly and the number of internet users in Africa is also growing at an unprecedented rate. The construction of this international information highway will become an important enabler of East Africa's telecommunications as well as its social and economic development in future.
In October, at the 3rd Asia Pacific Submarine Networks Forum, Tropic Science, China-ASEAN Information Harbor, China Construction Bank and Huawei Marine signed and MOU for the construction of the PEACE submarine cable project.
