When the knock first came, Georges Chehwane tried not to interrupt his interview with Executive. The matter, however, demanded the chairman of Plus Holding's attention. A client wanted to buy an apartment in a building Plus Properties is promoting, but needed flexibility in payment scheduling. It wasn't long before Chehwane was standing, shaking the client's hand. "Mabrouk," he said.
For Chahe Yerevanian, chairman of Sayfco Holding, Facebook is a money-maker par excellence. The pride in his voice is clear when he mentions the one-page case study Facebook wrote in 2012 about the $25 million in sales Sayfco generated exclusively from the social networking site for its Crystal Towers project, one of the few developments the company built itself. Yerevanian explains that of the 30 or so projects Sayfco has been involved with since 2004, it directly owned and developed land for only five (and was a partner in the land ownership on an additional two). Yerevanian's model focuses on being a service provider. For 8 to 10 percent of sales revenue (plus a 30 percent bonus for sales above the pre-arranged target), Sayfco provides landowners with a development concept and markets the project. He claims the model is almost zero risk, but admits only 99 percent of the projects that he took on under that model will be completed. There's reputational risk, and he says it has made him much more diligent when taking on new clients. He laughs when Executive asks about rumors the company is in financial trouble.
"I've heard I'm bankrupt," he says, jokingly. "Or hiding in Brazil." The slowdown has hurt, he admits, but insists the company is strong. Like Chehwane, Yerevanian says Sayfco benefited from a Banque du Liban circular from late October 2015 allowing for companies with cashflow problems to restructure their debts. Unlike Chehwane, Yerevanian says the process was painless. (The Plus Holding head contends that the banks are "not being very flexible" and says a union is needed to strengthen the developers' hand). Aside from the debt restructuring, Yerevanian says he's currently raising capital to help Sayfco expand into Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Yerevanian says that in late 2015, he became Sayfco's only shareholder after buying out his brothers, amicably. He plans to sell 50 percent of the company to unnamed silent partners for an undisclosed amount. Yerevanian wants Sayfco to be a global name in real estate development. He plans to grow the brand over the next five years and will only then begin thinking of floating a percentage of Sayfco.
Chehwane is similarly focusing on expansion at the moment by building in Cyprus, where he says margins are similar to Lebanon. But he also stresses the importance of diversification. A new member of the Plus Holding family should be coming soon, he says. Time does not allow an in-depth discussion but the project, Green Plus, will be well outside the real estate domain. It's a hydroponics venture in the United Arab Emirates.
To survive as developers in Lebanon, Chehwane and Yerevanian agree it's all about delivery these days. Chehwane admits it's increasingly tough, however, and says he uses barters over cash whenever he can. While the number of real estate transactions is up 25.6 percent in the first two months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, a return to the boom days seems a distant possibility.

Q: Angular Routing for product categories Hi I am creating a Shop Page in angular 4 and I am facing an issue with angular routing where when a user click a product category, the website should redirect him/her to the shop page.
In my home page. I have given two links in product categories -

Product Categories

Jeans
Shirts

For shop page component I have created service to fetch the data from JSON file
export const PRODUCTS: Products[] = [
{
    id: 1,
    productCat:'Jeans',
    product: [
        {
            prodId: 1a,
            productName: 'Trendy Jeans',
        },
        {
            prodId: 2a,
            productName: 'Trendy Jeans second product',
        },
    ],
},
{
    id: 2,
    productCat:'Shirts',
    product: [
        {
            prodId: 1b,
            productName: 'Trendy Shirts',
        },
    ],
},
]

So, when a user clicks on jeans it should show only jeans products and when a user clicks on shirts it should show only shirt products.
Here is my app routing module -
app-routing.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { routes } from './routes';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot(routes)
  ],
  exports: [ RouterModule ],
  declarations: []
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

routes.ts file -
export const routes:Routes = [
    {path: 'home', component: HomeComponent},
    {path: 'shop/:id', component: ShopComponent},
    {path: '', redirectTo: '/home', pathMatch: 'full'}
];

So, when a user clicks on jeans it should show only jeans products and when a user clicks on shirts it should show only shirt products. Can we filter the data for the same component?

A: You should use angular routerlink . href wont work in angular
 Jeans

A: To do routing in angularjs, you need to use routerLink attribute in the anchor tags and the router-outlet tag in the home page to display the response of the router Link.

Product Categories

Jeans
Shirts

In appcomponent.html use below tag to display the contents of the Shop component.html.
<router-outlet>

A Message from the Executive Director
Purpose & Overview
The Educational Bridge Project was established to foster American-Russian collaboration in the areas of music, art, culture, and education by organizing the annual festivals, "Days of Russian Culture in America" and "Days of American Culture in Russia."
The primary goal of these festivals is to help to build a bridge of understanding and mutually beneficial cooperation between students, faculty, and institutions in major cultural centers, including Boston, St. Petersburg and Moscow, and to expand community access to the heritage and initiatives of both cultures.
Among other goals for the EBP are the following: to create a model of international artistic collaboration by connecting creative artists internationally through the means of their arts; to educate and enlighten the people of Russia and America about their rich cultural traditions and heritages; to increase community access to music and other educational opportunities, resources and programs; to spur people's social activism as cultural ambassadors; to stimulate active approaches in education; to enrich the local communities by educating and entertaining people of all ages; to ignite curiosity about music, especially from the 20th and 21st centuries.
Since 1997, the Educational Bridge Project has organized fifteen festivals, seven in the US (Boston, New York, and New Haven) and eight in Russia (St. Petersburg and Moscow). This format of collaborative initiatives between the faculty and students of the participating American and Russian educational institutions proved to be a productive model for learning through collaboration.
Thousands of Americans and Russians have attended the festivals' events and have benefited from meeting people from the visiting country. Hundreds of students and faculty members participated in the festivals' concerts, master-classes, discussions, and workshops. Playing music together, performing each other's compositions, commissioning for each other's orchestras, learning from each other's educational methods, and discussing similar experiences does much to dispel the misunderstandings arising in a world where political tensions threaten to keep us divided and isolated.
A significant part of the outreach mission of The Educational Bridge Project has been its focus on bringing Russian and American music to each country's citizenry through local community participation and youth involvement. Lessons learned in the classrooms reached out to average citizens, entertained them with new collaborative creations and bring them a glimpse of rich cultural heritages.

The Talon • February 7, 2012 • https://lahstalon.org/abrams-puts-a-sci-fi-twist-on-crime-fighting-in-alcatraz/
Abrams Puts a Sci-Fi Twist in 'Alcatraz'
Nearly 1,500,000 people visit Alcatraz Island on a yearly basis, and they are all taught the same thing: Alcatraz was used as a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison and finally a federal prison, before closing in 1963 due to high costs and weather damage. The new show "Alcatraz" takes an entirely different spin on the infamous prison.
The show is set around the premise that instead of closing Alcatraz in March of 1963 and transferring all the prisoners off the island (like history tells us) the prisoners mysteriously disappeared. Alcatraz was left empty, and now the prisoners are reappearing in San Francisco nearly 50 years later. FBI Agent Emerson Houser (Sam Neill) and SFPD Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) team up with Alcatraz expert Dr. Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia) to try and find these criminals and get them back into custody.
"Alcatraz" incorporates many of the common elements of modern crime procedurals, such as the badass cutthroat detective, the witty and slightly incompetent sidekick and the menacing boss, but "Alcatraz" uses them well. Madsen leaves behind many of the unfortunate female stereotypes that are still exhibited by other similar characters (such as Kate Beckett from "Castle") like wearing heels all the time—even while chasing criminals. Madsen is a great example of a female character who is even more powerful than some of her male counterparts.
However, while at first glance "Alcatraz" seems very similar to other TV procedurals, it takes some interesting spins on the widely used genre. In most crime shows the only view of the "bad guy" is when they are arrested. In some cases viewers see the "good guys" chasing them once they've solved the mystery, but the majority of these shows are told from a third-person limited point of view. "Alcatraz" is unique in that it tells the story from the criminal's perspective as well.
In addition to showing the story through multiple perspectives, it also tells it from multiple points in time. The show switches back and forth between present-day Alcatraz and the island in the '50s. In both periods of time, viewers see the chase to recapture prisoners from the views of the criminals and from Madsen and her team. Because of this, "Alcatraz" becomes more than just a standard crime show. It's also a historical drama about the prisoners' lives at Alcatraz.
"Alcatraz" is the newest show from executive producer J.J. Abrams (best known for co-creating "Lost" and "Fringe" as well as directing "Star Trek" and "Super 8"), and it employs many elements that are similar to those of his other works. Like his other TV shows, "Alcatraz" employs a system of individual plots for each episode while also incorporating an overarching mystery and ongoing storyline. By doing this, the show effectively creates investment in the storyline and a desire to see where the plot goes.
Overall, "Alcatraz" doesn't disappoint. It combines the beloved elements of any TV procedural (a great team plus comic relief) with the classic sci-fi twists that Abrams has come to be known for. The show is enthralling and fun all at the same time, with likeable characters and what will hopefully continue to be an interesting plot.

Simon Soesan's stories and blogs

Shomer
The current situation made it very clear that a new trend was on its way in Israel. It started quietly, but more and more people overcame their shyness and are willing to show that they are 'in', too: a shomer! This word comes from the Hebrew word "shmirah" (to guard), and even the Torah mentions that "those guarding over Israel will not slumber nor sleep", which is true even today.
Everyone wants one and there are simply not enough of them. This results is shomrim working day and night. No, we are not talking about our soldiers or the police in our Jewish State, who, in any case, do not know the difference anymore between day and night due to their hard work, no, we are talking about the private firms and the private shomrim.
You have a funeral? Bring two shomrim. You have a coffee-shop? At least one at the entrance is mandatory. A wedding? One at every entrance and at least two among the guests. Party at home, because it is scary to go out? Have one at your door! All this because we may look stupid, but we are not crazy! The only country in the world with lots of unique stuff, but this tops the list: which country do you know that has every school, kindergarten, supermarket, cinema or café guarded with armed shomrim? Only us!
Some of our friends went a bit further and took a shomer into their service. Well, 'a' shomer would be wrong to say, because a day has 24 hours, so if you want to do this the right way, you take 2 or 3, so they may rest also. But because our buses are not that safe, you don't send your children to school in a bus. And since we are all so busy working, the shomer can drive them to school. A car must be rented for this purpose and while we're at it, the shomer can go to the supermarket, which is a risky thing anyway. And when the kids get home, the shomer can cook up a meal for them. Quality has no function here. Which kid will say "I won't eat that" to an armed guard? Added value! And if your sweet daughter goes to vist her friends (because out to a public place is out of the question) and you want her home on time? The shomer! More and more Israelis find the shomer answering all of their needs. Get the mail, take the car to service, banking and walking the dog…who said something about unemployment in Israel?
More and more I see people on the streets looking at others. Once it was because of their car. They would look and envy. Now you hear them say: "Gee, did you see that shomer? What a gun! What a neat earpiece!"
Last week our son went top a birthday-party. 14 kids brought their own shomer. Among the kids were talks about which shomer had the biggest gun. Our sweet child came home pretty depressed. We have no shomer. Too expensive. We did rent two for his Bar Mitswah party.
Not because we are so concerned.
But you look stupid, without.

4-0: Brazil leaves Chile on the edge of the abyss
Brazilwith goals from Neymar, Vinicius, the first to score with the absolute, Coutinho and Richarlison, defeated this Thursday with authority 4-0 a Chilean team which is very close to saying goodbye to the World Cup in Qatar.
Tite's team, already qualified for the World Cup for a few days, resolved the match in the last minutes of the first half, with a penalty converted by Neymar and a goal by Vinicius that was born in a mistake by Claudio Bravo.
In a Maracana in effervescence, Coutinho, who had come off the bench for Lucas Paquetá, put the lace to the Red also from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute. Richarlison would put the fourth in the 91st.
Brazil, absolute leader of the South American qualifiers, remains undefeated, with thirteen wins and three draws, and will play the last day against a Bolivia without options, in La Paz.
Chile, which at no time showed signs of getting something positive from Brazilian lands, will try the miracle of qualifying for the playoffs at home against Uruguay, which tonight beat Peru 1-0 and closed its direct ticket to Qatar.
The two teams started biting in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil only needed thirty seconds for Antony, who was making his debut as a starter, to give the first warning to Bravo.
Chile also showed their cards from the start: order and aggressiveness, with a formation with three central defenders. His strategy also included protesting each foul to the referee, with Vidal as the leader.
Overcoming the frenzy of the first few minutes, Brazil took possession of the ball and brought Lasarte's men into their area, who resigned themselves to hunting down a counterattack and praying on defense.
It cost Brazil to take advantage of Vinicius Junior's good moment. The Real Madrid winger went unnoticed in the first stretch of the first half, but as the minutes went by he began to connect with Neymar.
First he left the 10 alone inside the area, but the Paris Saint-Germain player, subject to harsh criticism for his poor performance with the French team, failed to control as he usually does. Shortly after he put a pass into space inside the area. Ney hit the bone again after a good start from Bravo.
The Brazilian harassment gained in intensity and ended up unhinging an Isla knocked down Neymar in the area five minutes before the break. The ex of Santos and FC Barcelona, in need of joy, did not fail and opened the can for the leader.
Neymar scored from a penalty in Brazil's win over Chile
From there the storm began. Looser and with a crazed crowd, the hitherto flawless Bravo handed possession to Antony in a fatal mistake.
The Ajax winger raised his head and hit a low pass into the area. Neymar let the ball pass for Vinicius, who left Paulo Díaz behind and crossed low to put the second.
First goal of the former Flamengo player in his twelfth game with the Brazilian team and 2-0 on the scoreboard in the blink of an eye. Chili on canvas. Only Eduardo Vargas was saved, who collapsed in the desert in search of a prize that never came.
The second half began with work for the VAR, which annulled a goal by Arturo Vidal due to a millimetric offside. Far from fading, Brazil almost scored the third in a fantasy play between Fred, Neymar and Antony that Baeza saved at the last breath when Paquetá was about to finish off.
He would achieve it from a penalty, provoked by Bravo, who swallowed Antony on the edge of the area. Coutinho, another who is in the process of redemption, certified the third for the five-time world champions in the 72nd minute.
Chile disappeared from the map. For the rest of the minutes she barely tried to avoid further humiliation. Although Richarlison's goal was still missing in the 91st minute to end a fateful night for the Red. In the middle of the party, Vinicius and Neymar saw a yellow card and will not play against Bolivia.
4 – Brazil: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Guilherme Arana; Casemiro (m.81, Bruno Gruimaraes), Fred (m.81, Fabinho), Lucas Paquetá (m.62, Philippe Coutinho); Antony (m.74, Richarlison), Vinicius Júnior (m.74, Gabriel Martinelli) and Neymar.
Coach: Adenor Leonardo Bachi 'Tite'
0 – Chile: Claudio Bravo; Gary Medel, Paulo Díaz, Enzo Roco (m.46, Montecinos); Mauricio Isla, Claudio Baeza (m.60, Ronnie Fernández), Gabriel Suazo, Charles Aránguiz, Arturo Vidal; Alexis Sánchez and Eduardo Vargas (m.77, Jean Meneses).
Coach: Martin Lasarte.
Goals: 1-0, Neymar, from a penalty (m. 44); 2-0, Vinicius (m. 46); 3-0, Coutinho, from a penalty (m. 72); 4-0, Richarlison (d. 91)
Referee: The Argentine Darío Herrera admonished Paquetá, Casemiro, Díaz, Neymar, Bravo, Medel and Vinicius.

Shipping + Logistics: A Visit to the Georgia Ports Authority
You can make all the product in the world but without global shipping and logistics, you're literally going nowhere. The shipping and logistics division of our company keeps track of customer's orders, tracks the movement of freight from Asia to the U.S., and makes sure the customer's order is received in full, intact and as close to the promised date as possible.
Recently, we loaded up the car with three members of our logistics team and drove four hours to the Garden City Terminal, just outside of Savannah, GA. The Garden City Terminal is one of five ports managed by the Georgia Ports Authority and it was an impressive sight. It's like a city unto itself, with roads and roundabouts moving traffic from one place to another.
A post shared by East West Manufacturing (@eastwestmfg) on Feb 16, 2017 at 7:54am PST
Remember that scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark when they're moving the crate holding the Ark of the Covenant back into a warehouse? That's what the Garden City Terminal reminded me of: row upon row of shipping containers stacked on each other. It was like a life-sized game of Tetris.
We were invited to climb into the cab of the ship to shore crane to watch its operator in action. Half the cab is made of plexiglass — floor, sides and roof — which allows the operator to see everything going on. The job takes an incredible amount of concentration and dexterity. Operators work two years in a different position before they receive their eight months of on-the-job training after they get the crane operator job.
We stood in the crane cab as the operator lifted one container after another off a truck, over to a ship and placed it in the hold with amazing speed and accuracy. While we were in the cab, we also witnessed a tugboat moving and turning a massive vessel in the terminal channel.
I asked my logistics colleagues to share their thoughts about the port operations as it related to their jobs. Katie Christman, an Inventory/Outbound Logistics Coordinator (below), said that "the most relevant thing I learned was the number of variables that go into the timing and movement of each container. I think it helps me to better understand and make decisions related to customer account analysis and customer status requests. Things like fog can cause delays, but technology and processing capabilities allow the port to manage slowdowns and spikes to provide consistent service."
We were all struck by the efficiency of the operation. "Being able to load a container a minute onto a vessel is pretty impressive," said Greg Richard, Administrative Operations Manager at EW (right, back). "Being able to get a truck in and out in under an hour was also impressive. It was very interesting for me to see the level of organization against the high volume. Overall it was run very well; I was anticipating it to be a little more chaotic."
We also learned that a premium was placed on the needs of the customer, and the long term growth of the terminal. "The customer service first model shown by the GPA to increase throughput shows they operate like an efficient organization that realizes the importance of each customers' cargo, when imported or exported, as seen by their commitment to continued growth and annual reinvestment of capital," said Andy Reese, EW Director of Business Development.
Spencer Papallo, EW Logistics Administrator (above), got downright philosophical about the work of the terminal. "Logistics is the insect of the supply chain, it makes the ecosystem tick and thrive," she said. "People undervalue the importance and even might find it useless. The reality is that without logistics, we'd be out of luck. The amount of material that is imported and exported from other countries is astonishing. The US is the number one importer in the world and the second largest exporter. It provides an abundance of jobs from truck drivers to crane operators to logistics administrators. It boosts the economy with needs for warehouses, 3PL's, logistic companies, and even companies that build the technology required for operation. It provides use for railroads that were built decades ago and seem unimportant with the technology we have today. Most importantly, it fulfills the desires of an ever-demanding population who want things immediately (thanks Amazon and your two-day shipping). Companies like Walmart and Amazon can operate the way they do thanks to logistics. I'm thankful I've chosen a career path of a bug that gets to make the world go round, one container at a time."

Hoochee Mama! Chattahoochee Gets New Play Park
Put Georgia and Alabama's Chattahoochee River on your Southeast hotspot paddling list alongside such other Southeast boating hotbeds as the Ocoee, Nantahala and Chattooga. It just got a brand spanking new whitewater park with one of the biggest waves in the region…
On May 25, the communities of Columbus, Ga., and neighboring Phenix City, Ala., are celebrating the grand opening of what designers call "the largest urban whitewater venue in the world" on the Chattahoochee River, which flows through both Columbus and Phenix City.
Designed by Denver's McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group, now part of Merrick & Co., the project removes two obsolete dams while restoring more than two miles of river into the newest whitewater destination in the Southeast.
"It's already bringing a lot of new boaters into town," says Chris Largent, store manager for local outdoor and paddling shop The Outside World. "Everyone's super excited about it and can't wait to get out there and check it out."
The Outside World has been located in Columbus for the past three years, with already a robust business in flatwater and recreational paddling, as well as kayak fishing, due to its proximity to local lakes and flatwater stretches of the Chattahoochee. But the new play park, whose crown jewel is an adjustable wave at the bottom of the course, is fast increasing its whitewater operations as well.
It already has two whitewater paddling instructors and Largent says it hopes to increase that number to six by the end of the summer. It's also partnering with local raft outfitter Whitewater Express, which already has operations in northern Georgia and Tennessee, to book and offer rafting trips on the new park.
Designer McLaughlin bases its "largest urban whitewater venue in the world" claim on the fact that the course, with an in-river construction cost of $24.5 million, is 2.3 miles long, encompasses 180 acres of in-river area, has a normal daily high flow of 9,200 cfs or 13,300 cfs (the upstream hydropower dam has four typical releases, 800 cfs, 5,000 cfs, 9,200 cfs and 13,300 cfs). "It's also based on the size of the features," says project engineer Jack Goble, adding that the total drop of the course measures 35 vertical feet.
"It has 6-feet-plus high waves, which may include the biggest and most reliable big river surf wave in the country. The size and magnitude of this venue is difficult to describe. Experienced boaters are calling it the biggest river — natural or otherwise — in the South and the lower rapid rivals some of the larger rapids in Grand Canyon."
While the neighboring riverfront communities have made the Chattahoochee a centerpiece of economic revitalization for the past decade or so, including the building of new river walks and commercial development, the new river park adds recreation into the mix. Spearheaded by local partnership Uptown Columbus, the redevelopment received a major boost by the acquisition and decommission of two hydro dams that had powered the local mills but were no longer economic. The mill and powerhouse complexes were acquired by local interests and are being converted to upscale residences and commercial/restaurant space.
By the end of the month, both dams will have been completed removed to reveal rapids that have been inundated for nearly 200 years. The two-mile-long park restores the river where it was once altered by the dams and adds a large adjustable wave — which can be tuned to suit kayakers and board surfers, and host events — at the course's bottom, as well viewing terraces for the public. While the historic rapids are at the center of a revitalized mill complex, creating a unique juxtaposition of urban amenities with whitewater rafting, the park also include quiet water areas suited for fishing, rec paddlers and stand up paddle boarders.
A recent economic study anticipates the park will lure up to 100,000 visitors to the area per year, with an annual economic impact of $4 to $7 million.
"It's an awesome spot," adds Largent. "It totally puts us on the map as a whitewater destination."

Dame Margaret Blackwood, DBE (* 26. April 1909 in South Yarra, Melbourne, Australien; † 1. Juni 1986 in Melbourne, Australien) war eine australische Botanikerin, Genetikerin und Hochschullehrerin. Sie war Luftwaffenoffizierin im Zweiten Weltkrieg, nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Dozentin für Botanik und Vizekanzlerin an der University of Melbourne.

Leben und Werk
Blackwood war das zweite von drei Kindern von den in Tasmanien geborenen Eltern Muriel Pearl (geb. Henry) und Robert Leslie Blackwood. Ihre Mutter hatte die Universität besucht und war eines der Mitglieder der Classical Association of Victoria. Ihr Vater lehrte Klassik und war bis zu seinem Tod 1926 Unterdirektor des Trinity College der University of Melbourne. Sie besuchte von 1916 bis 1927 die Melbourne Church of England Girls Grammar School (CEGGS) und absolvierte von 1928 bis 1929 eine Ausbildung als Lehrerin am Associated Teachers Training Institute. Anschließend unterrichtete sie als Senior Science Mistress von 1932 bis 1938 an mehreren Schulen in Melbourne.

Während sie sich durch Unterrichten finanzierte, studierte sie ab 1934 an der University of Melbourne, wo sie 1938 ihr Studium mit Auszeichnungen und als Empfängerin des Howitt Natural History Scholarship mit einem Bachelor of Science abschloss. Anschließend erhielt sie 1939 als Forschungswissenschaftlerin in Botanik mit McBain- und Caroline-Kay-Stipendien ihren Master of Science in Pflanzenzytologie und Genetik. Die 1930er Jahre waren ein Höhepunkt für die Teilnahme von Frauen in der Botanik, und Blackwood fand sich in einem Forschungsumfeld wieder, in dem Frauen, insbesondere die außerordentliche Professorin Ethel McLennan, eine herausragende Rolle spielten.

Tätigkeiten während des Zweiten Weltkriegs

Zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs schrieb sich Blackwood am 15. März 1941 als Freiwillige in die Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF) ein. Bereits nach zwölf Tage half sie bei der Erstellung des ersten Chiffriercodes der Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) für die Verwendung durch die Alliierten im Krieg im Pazifik. Sie  formulierte Richtlinien und Verfahren für die Ausbildung von Rekruten, hauptsächlich im Hauptquartier der Luftwaffe in Melbourne. Sie wurde schnell befördert und erreichte im Januar 1945 den Rang eines Wing Commander. Nach ihrer Entlassung im Jahr 1946 wurde sie Kommandantin der Ausbildungsdepots.

Universitätskarriere
1946 kehrte Blackwood als Demonstrator an die Botany School der University of Melbourne zurück. Mit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde 1947 die Mildura-Zweigstelle der University of Melbourne gegründet, um den Zustrom von Anwärtern zu bewältigen. 1949 wurde dieser Komplex wieder geschlossen. Blackwood wurde zur Dozentin für Botanik ernannt und war von 1947 bis 1948 Dean of Women des Campus.

Von 1948 bis 1950 forschte sie mit einem Stipendium des Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme an der University of Cambridge, wo sie mit David Catcheside an den B-Chromosomen bei Mais arbeitete und 1954 in Pflanzengenetik promovierte.

1951 kehrte Blackwood an die University of Melbourne zurück, wo sie zur Senior Lecturer of Botany, später Senior Associate und Reader ernannt wurde, bevor sie dort 1974 den Ruhestand ging. Als Trägerin zahlreicher Auszeichnungen erhielt Blackwood 1958 ein Carnegie Traveling Scholarship zum Studium an der University of Wisconsin und war 1959 Honorary Research Fellow an der Birmingham University.

Pionierin in Leitungspositionen
Blackwood leistete nicht nur in ihrer Karriere als Genetikerin Pionierarbeit, sondern bekleidete auch zahlreiche hochrangige Positionen innerhalb der Universität und der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft, wobei viele davon die ersten waren, die von einer Frau besetzt wurden. Im Jahr 1975, dem Internationalen Jahr der Frau, berief Blackwood die Arbeitsgruppe der Universitätsversammlung für Frauen in der Universität ein, die einen Bericht mit Empfehlungen zur zukünftigen Politikentwicklung vorlegte.

Blackwood war Gründungsmitglied des Colleges Janet Clark Hall, dort von 1964 bis 1974 erste Vorsitzende, als es ein unabhängiges College wurde, das 1961 der University of Melbourne angegliedert war. Sie wurde zum ersten Ehrenmitglied auf Lebenszeit der Association of Women on Campus an der Universität Melbourne (AWCUM) gewählt.

1977 wurde Blackwood zur ehrenamtlichen Organisationssekretärin für den 48. Kongress der Melbourne Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (ANZAAS) ernannt, als die erste Frau, die diese Position seit der Gründung der Vereinigung im Jahr 1882 innehatte. Sie wurde zum Fellow der Australian Genetics Society und 1979 von ANZAAS ernannt.

Blackwood wurde 1976 zum ersten Mal in den Rat der University of Melbourne gewählt und war von 1980 bis 1983 die erste stellvertretende Kanzlerin und war damit die erste Frau in der 127-jährigen Geschichte der Universität, die einen Abschluss verlieh. Blackwood war 1981 auch der erste weibliche Fellow des Trinity College, Melbourne. 1980 wurde Blackwood eingeladen, den Vorsitz des Beirats für Gesundheits- und Human Relations Education in Schools zu übernehmen, der gegründet wurde, um den damaligen Bildungsminister in Victoria zu beraten.

Dame Margaret Blackwood ging 1983 an der University of Melbourne in den Ruhestand. Sie starb am 1. Juni 1986.

(2003). "Maladie des feuilles cassantes" or brittle leaf disease of date palms in Tunisia: Biotic or abiotic disease?. Journal of Plant Pathology, 85(2), 71-79.
"Brittle leaf disease of date palms", known in southern Tunisia since the 1960s, has assumed epidemic proportions from 1986 on. The symptoms are associated with manganese deficiency and the presence of a small double stranded RNA of host origin. Even though no pathogen has yet been found, some observations do not fit a purely abiotic cause of the disease. In particular, affected trees seem to cluster into foci, and mineral analyses show no significant differences between the soils of affected and unaffected trees. Further work is required to understand the etiology of the disease.

They're not getting [the follow-on] funding, and so they're telling people that VCs don't want to spend. We do, but more on the traditional companies missed during the dot-com bubble.

Need to lose a few pounds and feel more healthy? I'm on a 30-day semi-vegetarian plan that includes eating vegetables, drinking a nutritious shake, and occasionally eating meat. One thing I did previous to trying this flexitarian challenge was to add a dietary supplement that helps with healthy digestion, supports healthy weight loss, and provides healthy energy. When I decided to go on a 30-day vegetarian plan for April, I wasn't sure how I would do. However, I love vegetables and don't mind skipping meat some days. In addition, I drink a great-tasting nutritious shake most days. A semi-vegetarian diet appealed to me more than vegetarian or vegan. And though I've never committed to being a vegetarian, making healthy choices is important to me.
Do you like coffee? I love drinking coffee every day. If I go two or three days without it, though, it's not a big deal. The nutritious supplement I drink is coffee-flavored, and it has a great taste. I've also tried a vegan shake that has a good flavor as well. But since I'm following a semi-vegetarian diet this month, I'll continue with my coffee flavor or my other go-to shake, vanilla.
The good thing about drinking a dietary supplement in the vanilla flavor is you can mix it with fruit. You can make it orange, banana, strawberry, or even peanut butter. Since I like peanut butter, many times I add a tablespoon of it even to my coffee-flavored drink. You have to love coffee and peanut butter for that, though. I think chocolate and peanut butter in a nutritious drink would taste great, too.
When I first discovered the dietary supplement I drink daily, I was feeling miserably bloated and felt awful with a digestion problem. I tried the drink two or three days when visiting a family member that a package of it on the counter. After trying it out for about three months, I started losing some weight. Now that surprised me as I wasn't focusing on weight loss as a benefit to drinking the shake. Next, I began working out, and more pounds came off.
I'll be honest with you, I like to eat. If I eat something that is really tasty, I'm tempted to have a second helping. And I like meat. However, I know that I don't particularly miss meat on days that I don't have it. Therefore, the choice to follow a semi-vegetarian diet (for at least a month) doesn't seem too difficult.
You may prefer to only eat raw fresh vegetables, no meat, no dairy, and no dietary supplement drink or shake. And that's your choice. On the other hand, I enjoy drinking my shake. I know that anytime there is some nutritious supplement people are trying, you can read all sorts of opinions about it. For me, Shakeology (the dietary supplement I like to drink) works. It may not be for you. But since I am blogging this month about my own semi-vegetarian plan, it includes drinking that certain product. I feel better when I drink the shake, and it's part of my part-time vegetarian plan.
Thank you for visiting Kitchen Southern Hospitality. Check out the vegetable recipes and roundups shared on the blog this week, and leave me a comment if you also are wanting to try a semi-vegetarian diet.

Q: How to write Spotify API in processing? For my project in college I have decided to make an interactive map where, when the user hovers over a country the title of the top song in that country is displayed. I wanted to get that title from Spotify charts.
I have read every single page of the Spotify API guide and I am still confused as to how should I write the query in processing. I have the authorisation code  and the OAuth token, but I'm not sure how should I include it in the actual sketch.
I really need all the help I can get, I am very new to this and I will appreciate every bit of advice.

A: Use a Spotify API Java Wrapper such as this one to handle API requests to Spotify.
Wrappers are external libraries that simplify API interfacing by providing functions that you can call from your code to make API requests. See this webpage for information about including external libraries in Processing sketches if you haven't done this before.
The most-played track per country isn't likely to change during operation of your program so requesting (it seems you've identified the correct API endpoint for this) the top track for each country just once is sufficient. This process could be done in setup(), for example, since it runs once only.
Then it's a matter of storing the data from these requests in some sort of data structure to allow your program to retrieve the most played track of the country that is being hovered over. A HashMap of country name to top track is appropriate, but there are many viable approaches.

Review: Salma Hayek's passion project brings 'Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet' to beautiful life
by: Drew McWeeny September 9, 2014
One of the highlights of the Cannes Film Festival for me this summer was a presentation of selected clips from "Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet," an ambitious animated film that adapts one of the most beloved works of poetry of the 20th Century, and I wrote in that piece that I hoped the final film would live up to the segments that I saw out of context.
It is safe to say that is the case.
Ultimately, this is a very simple, very direct film. There are plenty of movies playing at this festival that want to make you work for whatever meaning you take from them, but this feels like the opposite. "Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet" has been designed to be as emotionally direct as possible, easy to understand and very, very clear in its storytelling, and the result is a film that I would feel comfortable showing to my children but that manages to offer up some remarkably complex and adult ideas in a way that makes them seem fresh, no matter how familiar you are with the book.
Since May, I've spent a fair amount of time with the book. I knew it before then, but it had been years since I'd picked it up, and this time around, I found something much richer and much more profound waiting for me. This time, I was open to the book in a way I'm not sure I was when I read it as a young man. This time, instead of it feeling like someone telling me the way things are supposed to be and me shaking it off because of some perceived young man's superiority, I felt like I was reading real wisdom that I can recognize now because of the various scars and sweetnesses I've accumulated in the twenty years between readings.
In the book, Almustafa is a poet who is beloved in the city of Orphalese, and after twelve long years, he prepares to catch a boat that will take him home. Before he can leave, the entire city comes out to see him, and a seeress named Almitra asks him to share some thoughts before he goes, leading to a series of twenty-six poems on very specific topics like love, marriage, work, joy and sorrow, laws, freedom, friendship, and more. Much of what he says is self-evident, but the way he says it in the book is what gives it such power. Gibran was a beautiful writer, and the book is full of truly powerful imagery.
It's not a huge narrative, though, and so when Salma Hayek began putting together a team to try to bring the movie to life, one of the first things they had to do was figure out how to make that work as the framework for the movie. To that end, Mustafa has now become a political dissident, a poet whose work moved the people of Orphalese to begin to question the way things are. He's spent seven years under house arrest, seeing almost no one except for Kamila (Hayek), his housekeeper. He's still writing and painting, but the work goes unseen. Finally, the authorities decide something must be done and the local Sergeant (Alfred Molina) comes to tell Mustafa that he'll be taken to a ship in the harbor, where he is to leave Orphalese and never return in exchange for his freedom. There's another darker plan afoot, though, one that only Kamila's daughter knows about. And since Almitra (Quvenzhane Wallis) hasn't spoken since the death of her father several years earlier, it may not be possible for anyone to save Mustafa.
The structure allows for a number of natural digressions as Mustafa seems happy to discuss any subject. For example, Almitra is a bit of a wild child, and at one point, Kamila complains that she can't control her. Mustafa tells her of course she can't, since our children are not ours to control. This leads into Nina Paley's segment of the film, set to a lovely Damien Rice song that uses Gibran's words as lyrics:
"Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts
For they have their own thoughts
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you."
And as Gibran describes the relationship, Paley's animation interprets it as literal, laid over these beautiful mandalas.
"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth."
Much of what Gibran wrote is the sort of thing that seems to make innate sense when you read it, but it is the articulation of those ideas that makes it such a powerful and enduring work. Of course I want my children to grow and become independent people, people who have their own feelings and thoughts and ambitions and dreams. I try to lay out as much knowledge for them as I can and as much moral and emotional guidance, but they are going to be their own people, and I cannot force them to take any of it. Beyond that, I have learned from both of them. My younger son loves with a force unlike anything I've ever witnessed. His heart dwarfs mine, and I strive every day to learn from him, to love like him. My older son has an open fearlessness about people that I try to emulate as I move through this world as well.
From each segment, we come back to Mustafa's story, and we move further towards that inevitable showdown when he is offered a simple choice: renounce his words and all of his ideas and be allowed to board that ship, or stand behind the things he's said as he stands in front of a firing line.
When Salma Hayek began the long journey of trying to get this property produced as an animated film, I doubt she fully understood just how difficult it would be. Animation is so often thought of as only a children's medium, and while I think the wraparound story here has been crafted so that it's really told from Almitra's point of view, the segments themselves aren't childish at all.
One of them, Joann Sfar's segment on marriage, is illustrated as a beautiful tango in which the space between the dancers is as important as the places where they connect, a stunning and simple visual accompaniment to the segment on love, directed by Tomm Moore. Neither of them deals with anything children are going to fully understand, but they are visually entrancing, and that's true of each of the segment's. There's a lovely early bit by Michal Socha on freedom in which people are portrayed first as birdcages holding in beautiful flocks, and then as tangled strings that hold them to a tree. It looks like it's water color and pastel chalks, but it's all CG, and it sets a high bar for the rest of the segments in terms of surreal beauty. Bill Plympton brings his trademark visual style to the film, but with a sincerity and an emotional directness I'm not used to in his work. Each of the directors works in a radically different style, while the wraparound, directed and written by Roger Allers, is gorgeous hand-animation in the style of vintage Disney, a safe choice that should help to draw in audiences who aren't used to the wildly experimental.
During the final stretch of the film, the gentleman seated in front of me at the screening began to sob, openly, so hard that his chair shook. I'm not sure what set him off in particular, but I suspect his reaction was as intensely personal as possible, and that's sort of the beauty of the film. In many ways, it is a mirror. What you get out of each of the segments will depend largely on where you are in your life, who you are right now. I am grappling with divorce, with fears about where I am in my life, with difficult feelings about my work, and I am also diving headlong into new love, and I'm raising my sons in a world that freaks me out, and I am trying to make sense of all of this right now.
It felt like "Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet" was speaking directly to me in scene after scene, explaining how to be happy, how to be whole. It didn't hurt that the poems, each beautiful and dense and rich, are all read by Liam Neeson as Mustafa. Having that warm brogue of his wrapped around you reading poetry for 100 minutes is like laying on the most beautiful pillow, safe and comfortable, making it a master stroke of casting.
Here's hoping this gets picked up for distribution soon, and that more audiences get a chance to bask in what amounts to a poetic "Fantasia," determined to push the definition of what is a mainstream animated film, and largely successful in doing so.

I'm enjoying all of the new stories and photos that you have been posting recently. Keep up the good work, Captain Morgan!
The buildings look pretty from afar, and up close, it's even more beautiful. One thing I've noticed with modern architecture is that buildings have flat and even roofs. Well, in the future, the city will be filled with skyscrapers. And such an architectural accent would likely be a fixture in a number of buildings.

Q: Can an NSMutableOrderedSet be sorted using an NSSortComparator? Before instantly assuming this is a duplicate, read on.
I want to sort a large NSMutableOrderedSet<NSString*> in an efficient manner.
I know how to sort an NSMutableOrderedSet<SomeObject*> using NSSortComparator and setting the key to the relevant member of SomeObject.
I also know how to sort an array of SomeObject using sortUsingComparator:^(id firstObject, id secondObject).
I also know how to sort an array of, for example, NSNumber using sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)
But what I can't figure out is how to sort an NSMutableOrderedSet when the items are native Obj-C objects such as NSString as opposed to user defined objects:

*

*NSortComparator uses a key, however there is no key if the set contents is an NSString as opposed to a custom object? So this can't be used? (I notice NSSortComparator has a SEL property and I therefore thought it might be possible to set it to NSString:compare, but its read only).

*I have found sorting a large array (say about 50,000 items) using sortUsingComparator is slow (a few seconds) but sorting an NSMutableOrderedSet containing the same type of elements is virtually instantaneous using NSSortComparator. Therefore I do not want to sort using sortUsingComparator if slow.

*I can't see a method of NSMutableOrderedSet such as sortedArrayUsingSelector.

So my question is how can I sort the set in an efficient way if I can't use a sortDescriptor and if sortUsingComparitor is slow?
I could create a DummyObject containing nothing but an NSString and have NSMutableOrderedSet<DummyObject*> and then sort using NSSortComparator, but that seems crazy, so there must be a simpler way, but I can't see what that is from the API nor documentation nor past questions.

A: NSMutableOrderedSet<NSString*> *set =  [[NSMutableOrderedSet<NSString*> alloc] init];
[set addObject:@"c"];
[set addObject:@"b"];
[set addObject:@"a"];

NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"self" ascending:YES];
[set sortUsingDescriptors:@[sortDescriptor]

Farmer gives grains a go at Lazy Glen Open Space
A recent oat harvest at Pitkin County's Lazy Glen Open Space wasn't so much a signal of something new in local agriculture as it was a nod to something old.
Could grains, once a key component of the Roaring Fork Valley's agricultural landscape, make a comeback? They can if Shining Mountains Farm owner Cooper Means has anything to say about it. His farm holds an agricultural lease on the open space.
A couple of years ago, Means and his friends could be seen swinging scythes at Lazy Glen to harvest a small crop of rye that was milled in Paonia and destined for bread served at a Farm to Table meal presented by the Farm Collaborative (based at the city of Aspen's Cozy Point Ranch). A season of field peas followed.
This year, a roughly 70-year-old combine was added to the Collaborative's collection of shared farm machinery. The combine, so named because it combined the labors of cutting, threshing and cleaning grain as it moved over a field, has been replaced by the giant machines of large-scale industrial agriculture, but it was just right for the 4 acres of cream-colored oats waving in the wind at Lazy Glen. Purchased out of the Midwest, it rattled to life at Lazy Glen. Oats were harvested despite some mechanical hiccups.
Means is experimenting with grain crops in a valley where historical knowledge of what works and what doesn't has largely been lost. There is no one to ask about what variety to plant, for example. Hence, another part of Lazy Glen was devoted to 10 types of hops this season, to find out which would produce the best crop. That determination has yet to be made.
Means' reasoning: Supply the missing piece in the local food scene. "We've got a lot of local meat, local vegetables are really well supported in this valley and there's a lot of progress to be made but a lot of progress has been made. The missing piece is the grains, the local grains," he said.
Oats and other grains were a local staple a century ago, though. There was a mill in Glenwood Springs and harvests often made headlines. Jote Smith's ranch on Brush Creek made news in the Rocky Mountain Sun in 1885. "He has this year 90 acres of oats, of heavy yield, part of which will go 60 bushels to the acre. He will have between 3,500 and 4,000 bushels of oats from this field. This crop is worth $6,000 at least," the newspaper reported. Meanwhile, Elmer Chatfield of Emma cut 10 acres of oats "that are an extraordinary yield thought to go 60 bushels to the acre," according to the Sun. The Aspen Times reported specimens grains on display at the newspaper's office that would "open the eyes of farmers in the eastern states," including heads of oats 23 inches in length, heads of wheat 7 inches in length and heads of barley eight inches in length.
The oat crop at Lazy Glen produced about 9,000 pounds or 280 bushels. That's 70 bushels per acre – a very good yield, Means declared. It beat Elmer Chatfield's harvest of 60 bushels per acre back in 1885.
The oats will be used as chicken feed this winter, and Means said he will be at work devising a way to mill some of it in house for rolled and steel-cut oats in his cereal bowl. Meanwhile, the field has been reseeded for next year's experiment – heritage bread wheat.

The Coloradoan is reporting that the long-planned complex is moving forward, with an opening planned for July 2021. The developer of the complex hopes to bring professional soccer, minor league baseball and more than 1 million visitors to the town.
In May, the Town Board voted 6-0 to approve the creation of two metropolitan districts within the site and a business improvement district to help finance the project, according to the Coloradoan.
One of the project's investors, former Colorado Rockies outfielder and current Rockies TV broadcaster Ryan Spilborghs said this to the Coloradoan:
Nearly $1 million in sod has been laid for two multipurpose fields, [that] the master plan has been approved and groundbreaking for the project's signature piece, a stadium that could attract a minor league baseball team.

Day two hundred six of my 365 Day Writing Project.
I'm in Chapter One of my first draft, revising and rewriting. And it's going slow. I wrote an entirely new first paragraph – the opening paragraph of the book – which was a bold change. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it works. I read it over and over, tweaking it here and there, trying to decide. The best I could do was to just leave it alone. I could pass hours on that one paragraph which would be a monumental waste of time. I know I'll probably end up changing it again later.
I can see how revising and rewriting is going to be a tough process for me. Although I love to do it, I tend to get obsessive about getting things just right. But I can't let myself do this. I have to keep moving forward and working in stages so I don't get stuck. The way to do that, I think, is to continue to remind myself that the second draft won't be the last. There will be more time to get it right. For now, the goal is to simply make it better.

This week we are focusing on keeping your Dental Practice's schedule full! In this guest blog, we brought in the marketing expertise of Josh Summers to give you tips on how to avoid cancellations and no show appointments. Josh is the CEO of Dental Game Plan. Dental Game Plan focuses on the development of marketing services and technologies that help dental practices acquire new patients for the expansion of their practice.
Let's face it… we are all human and have a lot on our plates. I am sure every single one of us has forgotten an appointment, or double booked our schedule. So as a practice, how do you take in to account human error?
Here are a few ways to remind patients of their appointments, and encourage re-booking when something else comes up.
1. Call your patients and remind them.
–Everyone needs a reminder now and then, and we find that it works best when it comes a few days in advance. When you call your patients the day or heaven forbid the night before, often times this is too late to move around schedules when a double booking has happened, and typically the dental appointment loses in the priority game.
2. Don't expect your patients to call you back.
–As previously mentioned… people are busy. If you rely on your patients to give you a call when they have a free moment, it might not happen for several months. Have a list of patients to call back and schedule, or reschedule.
At Dental Game Plan, every appointment booked is followed up with by our call center operators when the patient cancels or is simply a no show. We find that speaking to the patient, that we pursue, allows us to reschedule, find out why the appointment was not kept and helps us to better ourselves when it was not kept for a specific reason on the office's part (i.e. not getting an appointment soon enough in an emergency case).

Fat Cats in Crossfire: Occupy Wall St. aims for all streets
By RussiaToday on Oct 10, 2011
With the anti-Wall Street protest in its fourth week, demonstrators' voices are only getting louder and spreading wider. From coast to coast, in dozens of cities, people have been taking to the streets to demand an end to the fat-cat culture and economic inequality.

An entire system of global trade is at risk
From the UK Telegraph:
Sir Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, this week called the current financial crisis "the most serious… since the 1930s, if ever", in justification for a further £75 billion of "quantitative easing". Since Sir Mervyn cited the chaos of the inter-war years, it seems appropriate to quote Winston Churchill: "Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusions of counsel, until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong – these are the features that constitute the endless repetition of history."
We are at just such a moment again. Little more than two years ago, global leaders were happily congratulating themselves on having avoided the mistakes of the 1930s, thereby averting a depression. But now it appears that the difficulties of 2008 were but a foretaste of what was to come. With the European banking system again on the verge of collapse, there is a sense that politicians and economists are out of options, that governments and central banks are powerless before events. The best of the cavalry has been sent into battle, and it has come back in tatters. The fiscal armoury has been exhausted, the support offered by the boom in emerging markets such as China and India over the past two years seems to be on its last legs, and there is but the small rifle fire of the central bank printing presses left to defend us......read on
Carbon Bad, Ice Good - UK set to enter mini Ice Age
From the UK Express:
By Laura Caroe
BRITAIN is set to suffer a mini ice age that could last for decades and bring with it a series of bitterly cold winters.
And it could all begin within weeks as experts said last night that the mercury may soon plunge below the record -20C endured last year.
Scientists say the anticipated cold blast will be due to the return of a disruptive weather pattern called La Nina. Latest evidence shows La Nina, linked to extreme winter weather in America and with a knock-on effect on Britain, is in force and will gradually strengthen as the year ends.
The climate phenomenon, characterised by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the Pacific, was linked to our icy winter last year – one of the coldest on record.
And it coincides with research from the Met Office indicating the nation could be facing a repeat of the "little ice age" that gripped the country 300 years ago, causing decades of harsh winters.
The prediction, to be published in Nature magazine, is based on observations of a slight fall in the sun's emissions of ultraviolet radiation, which may, over a long period, trigger Arctic conditions for many years.
Although a connection between La Nina and conditions in Europe is scientifically uncertain, ministers have warned transport organisations and emergency services not to take any chances. Forecasts suggest the country could be shivering in a big freeze as severe and sustained as last winter from as early as the end of this month....read on

Q: String coming with an extra new line Below is the code where I am taking server names from a text file and concatenating with comma.
But when I am printing the value, it is coming with an extra new line after the values.
I tried doing $erversToReboot.Trim(), but didn't helped.
$ServerList = Get-Content "D:\ServerName.txt"
$Servers=""
foreach($Server in $ServerList)
{

        $Servers += $Server + ","

}

[string]$ServersToReboot= $Servers.TrimEnd(",")

The output coming as
server1,server2
---one extra line here---

Please let me know what is going wrong here.

A: Best as I can tell, you're attempting to comma separate your servers. I'd skip the Foreach construct myself and simply use the join operator.
$ServerList = Get-Content -Path 'D:\ServerName.txt'
$ServerList -join ','

This can be done in a single statement, as well.
$ServerList = (Get-Content -Path 'D:\ServerName.txt') -join ','

Tommy

A: As others have noted, it's in general much simpler to use the -join operator to join the input lines with a specifiable separator.
As for the problem of an extra empty line:  Gert Jan Kraaijeveld plausibly suggests that your input file has an extra empty line at the end, while noting that it is actually not what would happen with the code you've posted, which should work fine (despite its inefficiency).
Perhaps the extra line is an artifact of how you're printing the resulting value.

To answer the related question of how to ignore empty lines in the input file:
Assuming that it is OK to simply remove all empty lines from the input, the simplest PowerShell-idiomatic solution is:
@(Get-Content D:\ServerName.txt) -ne '' -join ','

@(Get-Content D:\ServerName.txt) returns the input lines as an array[1] of strings, from which -ne '' then removes empty lines, and the result of which -join joins with separator ,

[1] Get-Content D:\ServerName.txt would return a scalar (single string), if the input file happened to contain only 1 line, because PowerShell generally reports a single output object as itself rather than as a single-element array when pipeline output is collected.
Because of that, @(...), the array-subexpression operator - instead of just (...) - is needed in the above command: it ensures that the output from Get-Command is treated as an array, because the -ne operator acts differently with a scalar LHS and returns a Boolean rather than filtering the LHS's elements: compare 'foo' -ne '' to @('foo') -ne ''.
By contrast, the @(...) is not necessary if you pass the result (directly) to -join (which simply is a no-op with a scalar LHS):
(Get-Content D:\ServerName.txt) -join ','

Eating Animals is the third book by the American novelist Jonathan Safran Foer, published in 2009. A New York Times best-seller, Eating Animals provides a dense discussion of what it means to eat animals in an industrialized world. It was written in close collaboration with Farm Forward, a US nonprofit organization promoting veganism and sustainable agriculture.

The book was adapted and extended into a 2018 documentary film with the same name, directed by Christopher Dillon Quinn and co-narrated by Foer and Natalie Portman.

Overview
Foer presents the book as a way for him to decide whether or not his newborn child should eat meat. Foer's son is representative of the generations that are entering a world of industrialized farming, in which the decision to eat meat has many more implications than taste. More often than not, putting meat on our plates comes with immense ramifications not only for the animals involved, but also for the environment, and ourselves; the animals suffer, the environment is damaged, and our health is put into question. Essentially, Foer concludes that the detriments of factory farms outweigh the benefits of taste, which is why he chooses to raise his son a vegetarian.

Throughout the book, Foer places significant emphasis on the stories that come with food. To strengthen the emphasis, both the first and the last chapters of the book are entitled "storytelling." In the book, Foer states that "stories about food are stories about us―our history and our values," and establishes storytelling as the overriding theme of the whole book. For Foer, storytelling is a way of recognizing and dealing with the complexity of the subject that is eating animals, and how it is connected to identity. The stories in our plates are the stories about our relationship with the world as represented by the people we eat with, the process by which our food reaches the table, what kinds of food find their ways to our table, etc. According to Foer, the way humans cope with and understand complex phenomena is by turning their occurrences into stories about what they mean. In this sense, the suggested profundity within the phenomenon of meat eating gives Foer's concept of storytelling a religious undertone.

As the title suggests, the particular phenomenon Foer focuses on is the consumption of meat. He discusses what eating meat has meant in the past, and what it means today. In doing so, he does not, as one might expect, make the claim that eating meat is intrinsically bad. Rather, he claims that eating meat is circumstantially bad; for example, it is bad when it entails the suffering of animals, environmental destruction, and/or a risk for human health. Today, according to the book and a number of its cited sources, eating meat overwhelmingly entails these problems, while in the past, it has not.  The conclusion Foer reaches is that eating animals that come from industrial methods―such as factory farming, industrial fishing, and the like―is bad.

Foer notes that most people recognize there is something bad about eating animals, but that people willingly forget this is the case. Part of what is forgotten in this process, Foer argues, is a connection to our own animality. We neglect the parts of us that makes us similar to them―like, for example, the ability to feel or be relieved of pain―and we deny their importance in the constitution of our humanity. As Foer puts it, "what we forget about animals, we begin to forget about ourselves." What this leads to, Foer argues, is a fairly ambiguous sense of shame―the feeling of shame that arises when memory reminds us of what we have willingly forgotten.

Forgetfulness, the book suggests, is reinforced and perpetuated by the lack of transparency in the meat industry. Farms are generally closed to the public, and it is so difficult to get inside of one that Foer illegally sneaks into one to write about the conditions of the typical factory farm. During his operation, he witnesses the dismal conditions in which the animals live, which helps him understand why the industry seeks confidentiality. He describes this experience as a direct contrast to the marketing tactics used by factory farms. In an attempt to shine light on the meaning of such marketing claims, Foer dedicates a whole chapter to definitions of words that connect humans and food. In it, he defines some of the labels and certifications that are assigned to animal products, suggesting that many of them are misleading.

Ultimately, Eating Animals discusses the ethics of food. It suggests that our food choices directly reflect the ethical values we stand for. When people eat meat, Foer claims, they are implying that satisfying their desire for meat is more important than letting animals live well, or even live at all. This can be a conscious or unconscious process, but its implications, for Foer, are always real. When one supports factory farming, one is relinquishing the importance of certain moral behavior to animals, and in turn, to humans as well. For example, if one denies the importance of the suffering of an animal, one denies the importance of the ability to suffer in and of itself, so it follows that one denies the importance of suffering for humans. In a similar chain of logic, Foer connects our treatment of animals to our treatment of humans―we dichotomize between those who matter and those who do not. Consequently, each food choice an individual makes is an ethical one that profoundly impacts both human and non-human animals.

Critical reception
A New York Times best-seller, Eating Animals has received mixed reviews from critics. A Washington Post article describes Foer's book as providing a writing style that has "always divided his readers into love-him or hate-him camps."

Some critics praise both the conclusions Foer reaches and how he reaches them. A Los Angeles Times article states that Eating Animals contains "the kind of wisdom that... deserves a place at the table with our greatest philosophers." In a Huffington Post article, Natalie Portman wrote that the book was so powerful that she went from a twenty-year vegetarian to a vegan activist. According to a piece by the New Yorker, the power of the book lies in its ability to discuss why humans can be so loving to their companion animals while simultaneously being completely indifferent to the ones they eat.

Other critics have criticized the book. In a New York Magazine review, one vegetarian critic called the book "deeply irritating," as it "settles on the safest possible non-conclusion."

Documentary
Documentary director Christopher Quinn and actress Natalie Portman produced a documentary version of Eating Animals in 2018. Like the book, the documentary explores the ethics of contemporary animal agriculture. The creators hope to expand the reach of Eating Animals message so that more people think of the meat they eat in new ways. The film was released in cinemas on June 15, 2018. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 91% based on 46 reviews, with an average rating of 7.00/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "Eating Animals thoughtful analysis and exploration of corporate farming is impressive, given the scope of the topic." At Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 69 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
