MOSCOW (Reuters) - Advisers to President Vladimir Putin have questioned the legality of a slew of criminal cases opened against members of the Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia and asked the General Prosecutor's office to protect the group's freedom of belief.
Russia's Supreme Court ruled in April last year that the Jehovah's Witnesses were an "extremist" organization and must disband, a move the group unsuccessfully appealed.
"It cannot but be a cause for concern because the criminal prosecutions and detentions have taken on a systemic character," the council said in a statement which the Jehovah's Witnesses publicized on Thursday.
"We hope that common sense will prevail and that someone wise ... will say that this has all gone too far," he said.

Everett is an avid movie watcher and user of Letterboxd like myself - follow him there: http://letterboxd.com/everettjones/ - I've gotten many good film recs this way.
Death Bed: The Bed That Eats
Like everyone else (possibly including the director), I've only heard of, let alone seen, this movie thanks to Patton Oswalt's very funny stand-up routine. Of course, the whole point of the film's inclusion is its self-evident awfulness, so it didn't exactly jump to the top of my to-see list. The thing is, after finally seeing a film that more people have seen a YouTube clip about than ever seen, I actually think it's...actually not bad? Maybe even good? Keeping in mind a movie in which the main character is a bed doesn't bear ready comparison to films starring, say, humans, or even talking dogs or cats. Unlike, say, the notorious '50s drive-in flicks that proposed giant cucumbers, trees, chickens, and whatnot as terrifying monsters, this is not the straightforward if absurd horror film suggested by Oswalt, as I realized as soon as a painting of fin-de-siecle artist Aubrey Beardsley began narrating the action. Instead, it plays as a more-or-less consciously funny, very stoned, black-comic joke.
I have a complicated relationship to this movie, probably moreso than anyone should to a little-known late '70s Universal programmer. As a kid, thanks to a rave review in the family (non-Maltin) paperback video guide, I was obsessing with seeing it. When my father finally managed to locate a copy, at the local Tower Video off of Rt. 17 in Paramus, New Jersey, my anticipation just made the experience all the more disappointing. Not to mention humiliating, since the first viewing of the surprisingly un-action-packed, slow-paced "action movie" was at my 11th birthday party, surrounded by all my friends. Later on, in high school, I was able to revisit the Goodtimes Home Video release and appreciate it as a low-key but at times effective psychological battle between Timothy Bottoms's mild-mannered mad bomber and George Segal's harried, trying-to-quit-smoking safety inspector. Now, though I'd never claim Rollercoaster as a great or even especially good movie, it's become a bit of a favorite for me, with its Lalo Schifrin score, check-cashing late-career performances by Richard Widmark and a (very briefly onscreen) Henry Fonda ("as Henry Davenport"), and script by the creators of my grandmother's favorite TV show, "Murder, She Wrote." Lazily, rather than frenetically paced, it's a very different kind of summer blockbuster than we've become accustomed to, and all the better for it.
Audrey Rose
He did cut out, behind Orson Welles's back, the now-lost ending of The Magnificent Ambersons for RKO, but in his own movies Robert Wise brought a, not personal auteurist touch, but nearly impeccable craftsmanship (I write "nearly" because I've seen The Hindenberg.) This late-career entry, his last before the massively difficult, successful (and I think underrated) Star Trek: The Motion Picture, comes off like a belated attempt to retrofit The Exorcist with the then-super trendy reincarnation theme. One that doesn't really work, since eternal life isn't a horror movie theme, unless an effort is made to convince us that it is. And Audrey Rose doesn't. But, thanks to Wise and his collaborators (such as DP Victor J. Kemper, composer Michael Small, and production designer Harry Horner) it has a great rainy, moody ambience, along with evocative imagery of a bygone N.Y.C., and one of my favorite performances from the young, quiet, intense Anthony Hopkins, who's always surprising to encounter these days (see, also, Magic, A Bridge Too Far) now that he's Odin. Though fundamentally flawed on the substrate level of script, Audrey Rose is nonetheless a highly watchable Carter-era time capsule.
I'm a little fascinated with the career of the late Dino De Laurentiis, whose productions included a few classics but far more duds and oddities. He seemed intent on becoming a one-man version of what Hollywood is today, churning out fantastical, FX-powered tentpoles pitched to a mass audience, except some combination of flakiness, shiftiness, and ineradicable Italianness kept getting in his way. Orca is the most direct result of Dino's supposed obsession with topping Jaws, the pop blockbuster he kept trying but never quite managing to make, with the terrible '76 remake of King Kong being the most successful and the Charles Bronson Western The White Buffalo the most bizarre. Beside its place in the De Laurentiis canon, Orca might be most significant as an example of a movie never quite living up to its spectacular poster, but considered on its own terms, it's not a bad film, sturdily directed by the never-brilliant but generally reliable Michael Anderson. The dockside Newfoundland location is atmospheric, and for a rip-off, it benefits from the errant De Laurentiis aim, where nobody seems to have studied the supposed object of imitation closely enough to replicate it very closely. Here, the aquatic predator isn't a purely malevolent force of destruction, but a misunderstood, mistreated avenging force of nature and family, effectively the protagonist. Meanwhile, the Quint character is the star instead of the sideshow, with Richard Harris in place of Robert Shaw to fulfilling the alcoholic-British-star-requirements. For the female lead, De Laurentiis chose the elegant Charlotte Rampling, as an oceanographer or something--somehow high cheekbones and jade-green eyes don't seem to belong on the high seas, and her chic incongruity just enhances the bizarreness (between this, The Night Porter, and Zardoz, Rampling has a psychotronic resume for the ages.) And I'll always insist that no movie co-starring Keenan Wynn can be all bad.
Though it won the 1977 Palme D'Or and was recently released on Blu-ray by the fine folks at Cohen Media Group, I still suspect this film, and its sibling co-directors Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, are if not underrated than at least seen underseen today. The brothers were critics' darlings in their time (I've also seen their stunning The Night of the Shooting Stars and epic Kaos) but maybe not hip and cosmopolitan enough to be simpatico enough with today's cinephilia. They adapted this, their breakout success, from the memoirs of a Sardinian-born linguist, who appears on-screen at the start to introduce the story of how he was pulled out of his classroom at age 6 by his father, and put to work for the rest of his childhood and adolescence at the family trade of shepherding. The climax of the story (which isn't a surprise) is him learning to read and write, and speak standard Italian rather than the dialect of his island. As Pauline Kael wrote in her review, the movie puts any idea of a shepherd's life being romantic, peaceful, and pastoral violently to rest. The landscape is unpretty and unforgiving, and the father character is relentlessly abusive (in the beginning, the real-life author hands the actor playing his father a large stick.) The movie is harsh but not austere, with the Tavianis finding celluloid equivalents to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's magical realism to bring the characters' experiences to life (throughout, we hear the thoughts of people, and even their animals, murmuring on the soundtrack.) Though shot on a low budget, on 16mm for Italian television, the imagery is much richer than in any number of Best Costume or Production Design Oscar winners you'll have seen.

Greenland ice sheet slowed down by 'plumbing system'
Environment, Greenland
9:02 am October 12, 2014
A subglacial plumbing system is slowing Greenland's ice sheet's movement out to sea, according to a new study.
Research scientist and study co-author Ginny Catania, from the University of Texas's Institute for Geophysics, said that everyone is eager to learn what is happening beneath Greenland as its ice sheet experiences more melt. She said they do not fully understand the subglacial plumbing as yet, so it "may or may not be critical for sea level rise" in the future.
The underground plumbing system is made up of meltwater that falls from the surface of the sheet into moulins – natural pipes that run for over half a mile from the overlying ice to the bedrock. When the water level in the Moulin is higher, the ice sheet slides faster. In the past few decades there has been much greater summer surface melting.
The researchers found, though, that while a greater volume of meltwater in the moulins causes the ice sheet to move more quickly, the ice becomes less sensitive to the melting water during the warmer summer months. The scientists believe that this could be down to the subglacial plumbing system, which allows it to adapt to the higher amount of meltwater.
Carrying out further research, lead author Lauren Andrews and her team drilled holes through ice as thick as 2,300 feet in western Greenland's Paakitsoq region in the summers of 2011 and 2012.
Measurements of ice velocity, meltwater flow and water pressure showed when water drains through the moulins, a network of subglacial channels are formed which then regulate the ice flow. Furthermore, large parts of the ice bed are away from the channel network, meaning when they converge during summer, the ice sheet's sensitivity to melting is decreased.
Andrews said that because of this the ice sheet might not actually move as far as the surface melting is indicating.

As Michael Tomasky's article [NYR, December 18, 2008] observes, Barack Obama lost the working-class white vote, either narrowly, by an income definition, or substantially, by an education definition…. What is also striking is the degree to which ethnic and religious affiliation drove the voting pattern. Obama won because he obtained overwhelming support from all the major ethnic and religious minority groups, which together comprised about 40 percent of the electorate.
He won 95 percent of African-American voters (who were 13 percent of the total); 67 percent of Hispanic voters (9 percent of the total); 62 percent of Asian-American voters (2 percent of the total); and 66 percent of "other" voters (3 percent of the total). Together, members of these ethnic groups represented 27 percent of the electorate. Considering religion among whites only, to avoid double-counting, Obama won 71 percent of the vote of those with no religious affiliation (who were 8 percent of the total vote); 83 percent of Jewish voters (2 percent of the total); and 67 percent of "other religion" voters (3 percent of the total).
Among white Catholics and Protestants it was a different story. White Catholics, forming 19 percent of the electorate, divided fairly evenly (47 percent for Obama), consistent with their reputation as swing voters. White Protestants, 42 percent of all voters, tilted strongly toward John McCain, with only 34 percent favoring Obama. White Protestant voters showed a further religious divide, with those identifying as born-again evangelicals favoring McCain overwhelmingly by 73 percent to 26 percent, and those not so identifying supporting McCain by a smaller although substantial margin, 55 percent to 44 percent.
The major issues of the day that political leaders debate and act upon have little or nothing to do directly with one's theological views, ancestral place of origin, or regional residence…. It seems though that political affiliation and voting is at present shaped heavily by feelings of cultural identification and antagonism. These feelings can be shaped by history or by just a few issues, such as abortion or immigration, if they are important enough to members of a group.
The situation today resembles that prevailing, according to some scholars, in the late nineteenth century, when national political discourse revolved around tariff policy, while actual voting patterns were shaped substantially by religious affiliation and related local struggles over Sunday closing laws and liquor restrictions. See Paul Kleppner, The Cross of Culture (1970).


White tie, also called full evening dress or a dress suit, is the most formal evening dress code in Western high fashion. For men, it consists of a black dress tailcoat worn over a white starched shirt, marcella waistcoat and the eponymous white bow tie worn around a detachable collar. High-waisted black trousers and patent leather shoes complete the outfit, although decorations can be worn and a top hat and white scarf are acceptable as accessories. Women wear full length evening or ball gown and, optionally, jewellery, tiaras, a small bag and evening gloves.
The dress code's origins can be traced to the end of the 18th century, when high society men began abandoning their breeches, lacy shirts and richly decorated evening coats for more austere tailcoats in dark colours, a look inspired by the country gentleman. Fashionable dandies like Beau Brummell popularised a minimalist style in the Regency era, tending to favour dark blue or black tailcoats, often with trousers instead of breeches, and white shirts, waistcoats and cravats. By the 1840s the minimalist black and white combination had become the standard evening wear for upper class men. Despite the emergence of the dinner jacket (or tuxedo) as a less formal and more comfortable alternative in the 1880s, full evening dress remained the staple. At the turn of the 20th century, white became the only colour of waistcoats and ties worn with full evening dress, contrasting with black ties and waistcoats with the dinner jacket, an ensemble which became known as black tie.
From the 1920s onward black tie slowly replaced white tie as the default evening wear for important events, so that by the 21st century white tie had become rare. White tie nowadays tends to be reserved for special ceremonies—especially state dinners—and a very select group of social events such as the Al Smith Memorial Dinner in New York, the Commemoration balls at Oxford University, certain May Balls at Cambridge University, the June Ball at Durham University, the Christmas ball at Buckingham Palace, dinners of certain American hereditary societies, and very formal weddings. The Vienna Opera Ball and the Nobel Prize ceremony are white tie events, and some European universities retain it as the dress code for doctoral conferment ceremonies.
According to the British etiquette guide Debrett's, the central components of full evening dress for men are a white marcella shirt with a detachable wing collar and single cuffs, fastened with studs and cufflinks; the eponymous white marcella bow tie is worn around the collar, while a low-cut marcella waistcoat is worn over the shirt. Over this is worn a black single-breasted barathea wool or ultrafine herringbone tailcoat with silk peak lapels. The trousers have double-braiding down the outside of both legs, while the correct shoes are patent leather or highly polished black dress shoes. Although a white scarf remains popular in winter, the traditional white gloves, top hats, canes and cloaks are now rare. Women wear a full-length evening dress, with the option of jewellery, a tiara, a pashmina, coat or wrap. Long gloves are not compulsory.
The waistcoat should not be visible below the front of the tailcoat, which necessitates a high waistline and (often) braces for the trousers. As one style writer for GQ magazine summarises "The simple rule of thumb is that you should only ever see black and white not black, white and black again". While Debrett's accepts double cuffs for shirts worn with white tie, some tailors and merchant suggest that single, linked cuffs are the most traditional and formal variation acceptable under the dress code. Decorations may also be worn and, unlike Debrett's, Cambridge University's Varsity student newspaper suggests a top hat, opera cloak and silver-topped cane are acceptable accessories. Some invitations to white-tie events, like the last published edition of the British Lord Chamberlain's Guide to Dress at Court, state that national costume or national dress may be substituted for white tie.
Prior to World War II formal style of military dress was generally restricted to the British, British Empire and United States armed forces; although the French, Imperial German, Swedish and other navies had adopted their own versions of mess dress during the late nineteenth century, influenced by the Royal Navy.
In the US Army, evening mess uniform, in either blue or white, is the appropriate military uniform for white-tie occasions. The blue mess and white mess uniforms are black-tie equivalents, although the Army Service Uniform with bow tie are accepted, especially for non-commissioned officers and newly commissioned officers. For white-tie occasions, of which there are almost none in the United States outside the national capital region for US Army, an officer must wear a wing-collar shirt with white tie and white vest. For black-tie occasions, officers must wear a turndown collar with black tie and black cummerbund. The only outer coat prescribed for both black- and white-tie events is the army blue cape with branch color lining.
Certain clergymen wear, in place of white-tie outfits, a cassock with ferraiolone, which is a light-weight ankle-length cape intended to be worn indoors. The colour and fabric of the ferraiolone is determined by the rank of the cleric and can be scarlet watered silk, purple silk, black silk or black wool. For outerwear the black cape (cappa nigra), also known as a choir cape (cappa choralis), is most traditional. It is a long black woollen cloak fastened with a clasp at the neck and often has a hood. Cardinals and bishops may also wear a black plush hat or, less formally, a biretta. In practice, the cassock and especially the ferraiolone have become much less common and no particular formal attire has appeared to replace them. The most formal alternative is a clerical waistcoat incorporating a Roman collar (a rabat) worn with a collarless French cuff shirt and a black suit, although this is closer to "black-tie" than white-tie. Historically, clerics in the Church of England would wear a knee-length cassock called an apron, accompanied by a tailcoat with silk facings but no lapels, for a white tie occasion. In modern times this is rarely seen, however if worn the knee-length cassock is now replaced with normal dress trousers.
Throughout the Early Modern period, western European male courtiers and aristocrats donned elaborate clothing at ceremonies and dinners: coats (often richly decorated), frilly and lacy shirts and breeches formed the backbone of their most formal attire. As the 18th century drew to a close, high society began adopting more austere clothing which drew inspiration from the dark hues and simpler designs adopted by country gentlemen. By the end of the 18th century, two forms of tail coat were in common use by upper class men in Britain and continental Europe: the more formal dress coat (cut away horizontally at the front) and the less formal morning coat, which curved back from the front to the tails. From around 1815, a knee-length garment called the frock coat became increasingly popular and was eventually established, along with the morning coat, as smart daywear in Victorian England. The dress coat, meanwhile, became reserved for wear in the evening. The dandy Beau Brummell adopted a minimalistic approach to evening wear—a white waistcoat, dark blue tailcoat, black pantaloons and striped stockings. Although Brummell felt black an ugly colour for evening dress coats, it was adopted by other dandies, like Charles Baudelaire, and black and white had become the standard colours by the 1840s.
Over the course of the 19th century, the monotone colour scheme became a codified standard for evening events after 6 p.m. in upper class circles. The styles evolved and evening dress consisted of a black dress coat and trousers, white or black waistcoat, and a bow tie by the 1870s. The dinner jacket (tuxedo) emerged as a less formal and more comfortable alternative to full evening dress in the 1880s and, by the early 20th century, full evening dress meant wearing a white waistcoat and tie with a black tailcoat and trousers, the tuxedo incorporated a black bow tie and waistcoat: white tie had become distinct from black tie. Despite its growing popularity, the dinner jacket remained the reserve of family dinners and gentlemen's clubs during the late Victorian period.
By the turn of the 20th century, full evening dress consisted of a black tailcoat made of heavy fabric weighing 16-18 oz per yard. Its lapels were medium width and the white shirt worn beneath it had a heavily starched, stiff front, fastened with pearl or black studs and either a winged collar or a type called a "poke", consisting of a high band with a slight curve at the front. After World War I, the dinner jacket became more popular, especially in the US, and informal variations sprung up, like the soft, turn-down collar shirt and later the double-breasted jacket; relaxing social norms in Jazz Age America meant white tie was replaced by black tie as the default evening wear for young men, especially at nightclubs. According to The Delineator, the years after World War I saw white tie "almost abandoned". But it did still have a place: the American etiquette writer Emily Post stated in 1922 that "A gentleman must always be in full dress, tail coat, white waistcoat, white tie and white gloves" when at the opera, yet she called the tuxedo "essential" for any gentleman, writing that "It is worn every evening and nearly everywhere, whereas the tail coat is necessary only at balls, formal dinners, and in a box at the opera."
It also continued to evolve. White tie was worn with slim-cut trousers in the early 1920s; by 1926, wide-lapelled tailcoats and double-breasted waistcoats were in vogue. The Duke of Windsor (then Prince of Wales and later Edward VIII) wore a midnight blue tailcoat, trousers and waistcoat in the 1920s and 1930s both to "soften" the contrast between black and white and allow for photographs to depict the nuances of his tailoring. The late 1920s and 1930s witnessed a resurgence in the dress code's popularity, but by 1953, one etiquette writer stressed that "The modern trend is to wear 'tails' only for the most formal and ceremonious functions, such as important formal dinners, balls, elaborate evening weddings, and opening night at the opera".
The last president to have worn white tie at a United States presidential inauguration was President John F. Kennedy in 1961, who wore a morning dress for his inauguration, and a white tie ensemble for his inauguration ball.
White tie is rarely worn in the early 21st century. Nevertheless, it survives as the formal dress code for royal ceremonies, debutante balls, and a select group of other social events in some countries. The male form has also been adopted for some formal weddings.
Notable international recurrent white tie events include the Nobel Prize ceremony in Sweden, and the Vienna Opera Ball in Austria.
In Scandinavia and the Netherlands, white tie is the traditional attire for doctoral conferments and is prescribed at some Swedish and Finnish universities, where it is worn with a top hat variant called a doctoral hat.
White tie is only required when the invitation specifically requests it but the considerate will usually request 'white or black tie' because of the potential difficulty faced by some guests in obtaining proper white tie attire.
In Britain, it is worn at some state dinners and certain May and commemoration balls at Oxford and Cambridge universities as well as University College Durham and St Andrews. It was the dress code for the Lord Mayor of London's Mansion House banquet until 1996, although David Cameron has worn white tie to the event as Prime Minister. White tie is also rarely seen as part of some elite UK public (private) schools' uniform, such as Harrow School, where the Head Boy is allowed to wear white tie to special events.
A few state dinners at the White House apply white tie, including the one held for Queen Elizabeth II in 2007. Other notable examples include the Gridiron Club Dinner in Washington, D.C., the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City, and a few debutante balls such as the International Debutante Ball in New York City, and the Veiled Prophet Ball in St. Louis.
When the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in New York City announced a white tie dress code in 2014, a number of media outlets pointed out the difficulty and expense of obtaining traditional white tie, even for the celebrity guests.

Our team jeff allen 2019-05-09T06:33:18+00:00
The Directors of Sea Kayaking Cornwall are well known for their epic circumnavigations and adventures, SKC is a company born of experience as well as award.
Between Jeff, Geoff and Shaun, they have kayaked tens of thousands of kilometer's experiencing nearly every condition the sea could throw at them. Their in depth knowledge and experience is what makes Sea Kayaking Cornwall unique. All of the team at Sea Kayaking Cornwall are eager to pass on their knowledge and experiences, enabling others to share the environments and places they have been.
Jeff, Shaun and Geoff only use respected and experienced guides/coaches who they know will keep you safe and give you the best possible experience out on the water. Sea Kayaking Cornwall only uses ISKGA Guides to lead their expeditions, both in the U.K and abroad.
The Expedition Paddler
Jeff is the founder of Sea Kayaking Cornwall, he started the business in 2003, just prior to embarking on a 5000 mile expedition to circumnavigate the four main islands of Japan. For Jeff it was essential that he guided others and delivered his courses where there was a solid foundation of experience and practical application. Apart from teaching and coaching others from his hard earned experiences, Jeff is also a British Canoeing Sea Kayak Coach (Advanced Waters) Trainer/Assessor and an ISKGA Advanced Guide Trainer/Observer
Sea Kayaking Cornwall was the first commercial sea kayaking business in the South West and the courses have evolved over the past sixteen years to represent a cross section of all that sea kayaking has to offer the enthusiastic paddler and outdoorsmen. Jeff is also the Founder of the International Sea Kayak Guide Association (ISKGA) which is an organisation that trains and endorses the professional/commercial sea kayak guide and is a British Canoeing coach, guide and leader.
As well as running courses, Jeff guides many of the Sea Kayaking Cornwall expeditions at both home and abroad. Jeff knows the Cornish coastline and the Scilly Isles intimately.
Jeff is a world renowned expedition Sea Kayaker, and has chalked up record breaking circumnavigations of Japan, South Georgia and Ireland as well as completing many other expeditions in Norway, Sweden, Alaska, Iceland, Sardinia, Malta and closer to home, Scotland.
He often delivers presentations on his expeditions and runs BC. & ISKGA courses all over the world.
Jeff is the founding Director of Expedition Paddler and is a subject matter expert for the U.K. military in the area of sea kayaking.
Jeff specialises in Sea Safety/survival, Incident management and rough water rescue and is presently authoring a book on the subject.
Working with Dave Whiddon of the R.N.L.I Jeff developed the first sea survival program aimed specifically at the sea kayaking community.
When Jeff is not paddling or sailing his local Cornish waters, you will no doubt find him either writing for the Ocean Paddler magazine or on an expedition in some remote but beautiful corner of the globe

Shaun Rodgers
The South African Irish Greek "SOULPADDLER"
Shaun started paddling informally by doing touring adventurous expedition paddling with friends in Africa, trips were in a variety of areas that included the upper Zambezi, Portuguese islands of Mozambique and the coastal waters of South Africa.
In 2007 after having sold his printing business and an outdoor adventure farm in South Africa, Shaun moved with his young family to the Greek island of Kefalonia, where he worked as a commercial sea kayak guide for 6 years, he took time to explore and expedition paddle a variety of areas and islands, including trips across the Aegean Sea from Athens to Turkey and numerous Greek island circumnavigations, his main aim was to enjoy his paddling, family and children while they were still young.
In November 2012 Shaun travelled to Sea Kayaking Cornwall as a student and returned again in February 2013 to attend the first ISKGA – (International Sea Kayaking Guides Association) Advanced guide training programme.
In April 2013 a month after completing his training Shaun returned and officially joined the SKC TEAM. Shaun is now a director and business partner to Jeff and Geoff. Shaun is an ISKGA Advanced guide (P) and a British Canoeing Coastal Sea Kayak Leader (old 4*) You will often find him on the water coaching or guiding on SKC expeditions.
Shaun loves guiding, experiential coaching and learning, this is instantly obvious when you meet him and see his enthusiasm for the sport and Sea Kayaking Cornwall.
Ben Brown
Ben has a university degree in coaching and is one incredibly talented kayaker. He has been raised in Cornwall and so has an intimate knowledge of the Cornish coastline. He started sailing and kayaking while at school which developed into a continuing passion to coach and teach others in the outdoor. This passion for the outdoors and coaching led him to study it further at university completing a foundation degree in outdoor education and BSc in sport performance and coaching. Ben works full time for SKC, if he is not out on the water coaching and guiding he is busy in the office helping to administrate and develop SKC courses and expeditions.
James Roberts
James grew up in Cornwall with access to watersports on his doorstep. He was able to experience a variety of outdoor sports with family and as part of school. He shares a deep intimacy for the Cornish Coastline and loves to show people his home.
In 2012 James completed an Instructor Training Program gaining qualifications in the outdoors and progressed the most in paddle sports. Since then James has been working full time as an Outdoor Pursuits Instructor progressing to advanced qualifications whilst also completing a Bachelor of Science in Geography.
James's passion for paddle sports is infectious. He loves to introduce new people to the sport and is able to draw from a range of paddle sport disciplines to which he also holds qualifications. When James isn't coaching one of our Sea Kayaking Courses, he can be found racing in white water kayaks, playing in freestyle boats or journeying by canoe."
Chantal Allen
Chantal was brought up on the sea – her first five years were spent living aboard a small yacht in Cornwall where the tide and the wind were her constant companions. Chantal first started Kayaking when she started school; her father used to kayak from her home to the small village of Flushing and at 16 years old she studied at the Falmouth Marine School, first in practical boat building and then studied to become a water sports instructor. In 2001 Chantal began to assist her father running sea kayaking courses from Maenporth Beach in Falmouth and ever since its conception, has had a strong family connection with Sea Kayaking Cornwall where she now works as a commercial guide.
Chantal is a keen surfer and an Aida Level 1 Free diver. She loves to introduce others to the ocean and whenever possible she combines her other passion – Yoga, of which she is also a qualified teacher.
Ian Prickett
Ian has been kayaking from a young age and began coaching at 16 in his home town of Portsmouth. He is a BCU Level 2 Coach and he has completed the ISKGA Advanced Guides Course. He has now settled in Cornwall after many years exploring the globe which included 10 years working in the Antarctic for the British Antarctic Survey and a winter with Sir Ran Fiennes on the Coldest Journey Expedition. His passion for guiding, exploring and adventuring around the stunning Cornish coastline and beyond will infect all who paddle with him.
Joe Leach
He smashed the record for kayaking around Great Britain in 2012 completing the expedition in 67 days. He has been kayaking since he was a child and is incredibly enthusiastic about his sport. His skills at handling a kayak are obvious from the start and he has a great way of passing this skill across to you. Joe is a great person to be on the water with but be sure to ask him about his expeditions as he is a modest soul. We are sure you will enjoy your time on the water with Joe.

Q: PHP: isset to modify HTML element This is my code:
<?php
  $printhename = $_POST['username3'];
  if(isset($_POST['username3']) && $printhename == "Carlos"){
    echo "
Hello $printhename
";
  }
  else {
    echo "
You don't belong here!
";
  }
?>

What I want to do is, if "username3" is not set, the message "You don't belong here is shown". Otherwise, if the name is set and it's Carlos, display the other message. I must be doing this the wrong way because it is always printing "Hello $printhename", regardless of the name that has been input.
I'd like for someone to shed some light on this. I'm new to PHP.
If it helps, here's my HTML code:

    <form class="formlogin" name="login" method="POST" action="testing.php">
      <input type="text" placeholder="username" NAME="username3">
      <input type="submit" name="login_submit" value="login">
    </form>

A: So $_POST['username3'] will always be set because it's a field in your HTML form and will always be submitted by it. However, if the visitor did not fill the form field with a value, $_POST['username3'] will be empty.
So you probably want to test with empty($_POST['username3']) instead of isset($_POST['username3'])...
And since you are compare "not empty AND equals to 'Carlos'" you can totally drop the "not empty" condition. (If it's equal to Carlos, it's not empty!)
To recap, with the comment from Fred -ii-:
<?php
  $printhename = $_POST['username3'];
  if($printhename == "Carlos"){
    echo "
Hello $printhename
";
  }
  else {
    echo "
You don't belong here!
";
  }
?>

Hope this helps!

A: There's a few things wrong here.
Place the POST array that you first assigned for the variable and use the POST array for it to check if it's equal to "Carlos" inside the conditional statement.
<?php
//  $printhename = $_POST['username3']; // this throws an undefined variable
  if(isset($_POST['username3']) && $_POST['username3'] == "Carlos"){

$printhename = $_POST['username3'];
    echo "
Hello $printhename
";
  }
  else {
    echo "
You don't belong here!
";
  }

?>

    <form class="formlogin" name="login" method="POST" action="testing.php">
      <input type="text" placeholder="username" NAME="username3">
      <input type="submit" name="login_submit" value="login">
    </form>

Remember, "Carlos" and "carlos" are two different animals.
On an added note; if you want to avoid showing the "You don't belong here!" message, you can check if the submit was set first; just in case your HTML and PHP are also in the same file.
I.e.:
<?php

  if(isset($_POST['login_submit']) ){

  if(!empty($_POST['username3']) && $_POST['username3'] == "Carlos"){

    $printhename = $_POST['username3'];
    echo "
Hello $printhename
";
  }
  else {
    echo "
You don't belong here!
";
  }

}

?>

    <form class="formlogin" name="login" method="POST" action="testing.php">
      <input type="text" placeholder="username" NAME="username3">
      <input type="submit" name="login_submit" value="login">
    </form>

Sidenote:
Use !empty() instead of isset() for the text input, it's actually better for those and it checks for both; if it's set and not empty.

A: Change your PHP to this:
<?php

if(isset($_POST['username3']))
{
$printhename = $_POST['username3'];
}
else
{
/* If it is not set, redirect client */
header('Location: /login.php');
}

  if($printhename == "Carlos"){
    echo "
Hello $printhename
";
  }
  else {
    echo "
You don't belong here!
";
  }
?>

A: Thank you so much for your replies — they really helped me a lot and I couldn't be more thankful.
I don't know why I changed the method to GET, it was POST before!
To achieve the look I wanted, I had to work the code like this.
Inbetween the "head" tags:
<?php
  $printhename = $_POST['username3'];
?>

The body:

  <?php

    if($printhename == "Carlos"){
      echo "
Hello $printhename
";
    }
    if (isset($printhename) && $printhename != "Carlos") {
      echo "
You don't belong here!
";
    }

    if(empty($printhename)) {
      echo "
Log in, please
";
    }

  ?>
    <form class="formlogin" name="login" method="POST" action="testing.php">
      <input type="text" placeholder="username" NAME="username3">
      <input type="submit" name="login_submit" value="login">
    </form>

Is there any optimizations I could do?

Q: Friend functions in structures or classes I wonder why when I'm using the key word friend in C++ to overload the << operator, I get no error but when I don't use the friend key word, I get an error!
struct Student
{
    std::string name;
    int age;
    bool operator<(const Student& s) const
    {
        return this->age < s.age;
    }
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Student& s);
};

and I define my function in the main.cpp as shown :
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const Student& s)
{
    os << s.name;
}

the error is when I don't use the friend key word is:
" too many parameters to this operator "
can someone explain me why?

A: When you don't write friend, you are declaring a member function. This means that the left-hand side parameter of a call like a << b is the instance of the class you are working with. Therefore, you only need to specify the right-hand side parameter, which will be the only one.

INTERVIEW: Mark Robins MK Dons Reaction
Mark Robins refletcs on MK Dons defeat...
Aaron Sutcliffe
Mark Robins was "pleased" to see Jodi Jones return for the Sky Blues after more than 12 months out with injury in their Leasing.com Trophy defeat to MK Dons.
Jones came on for the remaining 15 minutes against MK Dons which Robins believes is a big psychological barrier for the winger to overcome.
Robins said: "I'm pleased for Jodi because he's worked really hard. I'm sure having spoken to him for the last 45 minutes he's told you that.
"It's really difficult to come back from one, never mind two really bad injuries. He'll be stronger mentally for it.
"You'll have seen that he's a bit more talkative now than he has been in the past and that'll bode well for him because his personality is starting to flourish.
"Once we can get him back and get him closer to the 90 minutes, happy days. Getting over that psychological barrier of the first 15 minutes was massive and he even took a whack which was a disgrace."
The gaffer believes the Sky Blues ran out of legs in the second half having returned to action so soon after their draw with Ipswich Town on Sunday.
"First half we were good and then second half the work in the first half caught up with us and then we ran out of legs.
"We created a lot of good chances, but two set plays really have got us.
"It's a shank which has gone wide and they've just put it back in the middle, but the disappointment is we've not got close enough to Agard.
"And then the second goal they got inside Brandon Mason's line and Joe Mason has finished well from a narrow angle but it's disappointing from our perspective from 1-0 down we've had a good opportunity to score and we haven't pulled the trigger and that's the frustrating thing.
"You can accept mistakes but don't turn down the opportunity to shoot because if you do you're never going to score and that what happened tonight.
"Callum obviously makes a big difference to us and bringing him off wasn't ideal, but I had no choice.
"Then playing the game on a Tuesday night instead of later on snookered us a little bit and then they go full hit and they're desperate for a win.
"They hadn't won under the new management prior to tonight and you knew they would do that when they didn't move the game to the Wednesday, so I can feel a little aggrieved by that.
"Having said that, if it gives us an extra day with Ipswich playing tomorrow night, so they'll probably make wholesale changes it but it's needs must, and we have to recover well."
However, Robins was happy to have handed minutes to several players returning from injury.
"We've got minutes into people's legs that haven't played so they're closer to it and that was an important thing.
"It looked like people needed the game, certainly Jordy Hiwula which was his first game in a long time and also for Jodi as well, fifteen minutes into his legs which is important for him and a psychological barrier overcome for him."
Robins also praised striker Amadou Bakayoko for his work rate despite failing to find the net.
"Baka worked hard again, if you keep putting pressure on him to deliver goals it isn't going to happen.
"He's got to keep working and if he wants to be a focal point, he's still young. If he keeps working hard the chances will fall and he has to take them.
"He's not a natural finisher and that counts against him at times. Other times he looks unbelievable. The two goals he scored against Peterborough and Fleetwood back-to-back were outstanding goals.
"He's not a natural goal scorer but he's got to try and develop and not shy away from anything and he's got broad enough shoulders for that."

Toxic road runoff kills adult coho salmon in hours, study finds
A three-year-old adult coho makes its way through the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. (Mike Siegel / The Seattle Times)
By Sandi Doughton, Seattle Times
A new study shows that stormwater runoff from urban roadways is so toxic to coho salmon that it can kill adult fish in as little as 2½ hours.
But the research by Seattle scientists also points to a relatively easy fix: Filtration through a simple, soil-based system.
"It's basically … letting the Earth do what it does so well, what it has done for eons: cleaning things up," said Julann Spromberg, a toxicologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and co-author of the report published Thursday in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
Scientists have long suspected that the mixture of oil, heavy metals and grime that washes off highways and roads can be poisonous to coho, but the study is the first to prove it.
The research got its start more than a decade ago, when habitat-restoration projects began coaxing a trickle of coho back to several urban streams in the Puget Sound area. But many of those fish died before they could spawn. And the deaths seemed to coincide with rainstorms that sent runoff surging through drainage pipes and into the waterways.
In some place, like Longfellow Creek in West Seattle's Delridge area, up to 90 percent of females were killed.
"It was apparent that something coming out of those pipes was causing it," Spromberg said.
She and her colleagues tried to reproduce the effect in the lab. But the artificial mixture of oil and other chemicals they concocted had no effect on the fish.
So their next step was to try the real thing: Actual runoff, collected at NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Centerfrom a downspout that drains a Highway 520 onramp near Montlake.
"When we brought out the real urban runoff: Bang! They were down, they were sick, they were dead," said co-author Jenifer McIntyre, a researcher at Washington State University's Puyallup Research and Extension Center.
In experiments at the Suquamish tribal hatchery near Poulsbo, every coho exposed to the runoff died — some within a few hours, all within a day. Before death, the fish became lethargic, rolled around and swam to the surface as if gulping for air, McIntrye said.
The fact that actual runoff proved fatal while the scientists' concoction did not underscores an unsolved mystery about which chemical or combination of chemicals are so toxic to the fish. It could be any number of compounds that weren't part of the artificial brew, including byproducts of oil and gasoline combustion, chemicals released by tires or tiny particles from brake linings, Spromberg said.
"We still need to keep looking at what exact compounds are involved."
But whatever the chemical culprit, the scientists found it could be removed by passing the runoff through 55-gallon drums packed with layers of gravel, soil and compost. None of the fish exposed to the filtered stormwater died or fell ill.
"It was remarkable," McIntyre said.
The finding is a strong endorsement of rain gardens, grassy swales and other "green" alternatives to traditional drains and pipes designed to collect stormwater. The idea is instead to let the runoff percolate through the ground, as it did before so much of the area was paved and developed.
State regulations strongly encourage developments to use such approaches, according to the Washington Department of Ecology. A project called 12,000 Rain Gardens in Puget Sound is also promoting their use.
"We should be seeing more and more of these systems in the future," McIntyre said.
Coho, which were once abundant throughout the Northwest, may be particularly vulnerable to toxic runoff because they spawn in the fall, prompted by seasonal rains. Habitat destruction, fishing and other factors almost certainly contributed to the species' precipitous decline, Spromberg said.
Chum salmon, whose habitat and spawning seasons overlap those of coho in many places, don't appear to be as affected by runoff — something the scientists plan to investigate this fall.
Perhaps the major limitation of the study is the small sample size. Only 60 coho were used in the experiments, 20 in each of two experimental and one control groups. The scientists were lucky to get that many, thanks to the cooperation of the Suquamish Tribe, McIntryre said.
Also, the urban runoff collected near Montlake was undiluted in the experiments and represents about the worst possible case: runoff from a busy highway in a big city, a DOE official who was not involved in the study pointed out.
"It's great that the treatment gets rid of toxicity from this nasty stuff," Karen Dinicola of DOE's stormwater program wrote in an email. But it's particularly challenging to retrofit urban-collection systems with greener alternatives, she said.
But the results of the research could help guide future development in rural watersheds where coho runs remain, the researchers said. And it can also be used to help inform urban-restoration projects as well, so fish aren't lured back to appealing habitats, only to be clobbered by toxic runoff.
The researchers are preparing for their next round of studies, which will include tests to zero in on what is actually killing the coho.
The rain that soaked the region Wednesday also filled their runoff-collection barrels, Spromberg said.
"We only have one shot a year, when the fish come back and we can do the experiments and take the samples," she said. "Hopefully, with this rain we'll have more fish coming in soon."

Being Frank: One small stream could mean better water quality statewide
OLYMPIA – A little creek in eastern Washington was at the center of an important water quality ruling recently by the Washington State Supreme Court, reaffirming the state's right to regulate nonpoint sources of pollution in streams. Nonpoint pollution takes many forms, such as higher water temperatures, sediment, stormwater runoff, fecal coliform bacteria from failing septic systems and agricultural practices.
For 10 years the state Department of Ecology (DOE) tried to work with rancher Joseph Lemire to keep his 29 head of cattle out of Pataha Creek, a small stream that runs through his property near Dayton. Lemire's cattle had unrestricted access to the creek, leading to manure in the stream, eroded streambanks and increased sediment in the creek.
When DOE finally ordered Lemire to stop polluting by fencing cows out of the creek, the rancher appealed, claiming that a fence would restrict use of his land and therefore was an unlawful "taking" of his property. The state Supreme Court disagreed in an 8-1 ruling.
The fact that it took nearly a decade to get one rancher to do the right thing is made even more disturbing because Pataha Creek was selected as a model watershed in 1993 by the Bonneville Power Administration. BPA and other agencies have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars working with ranchers and farmers to provide everything from streamside fencing to tree and shrub planting to help improve the creek.
Twenty years of voluntary efforts haven't turned the tide of nonpoint pollution in many Washington watersheds. As the Lemire example shows, sometimes it takes more than money and voluntary efforts to protect our resources. And sometimes, all it takes to jeopardize our work is one landowner who's not willing to do the right thing.
Thankfully, the state has the authority to control these sources of pollution, and was willing to take the case to the state Supreme Court to defend it. That's encouraging, because the ruling wasn't anything new. It's just a matter of the state having the will to use its authority to regulate nonpoint source pollution. We shouldn't have to look to the courts for leadership.
Let's hope the court's ruling will translate into better water quality protection on this side of the mountains, too. Our treaty rights depend on it.
Our treaties guaranteed us the continued right to fish and gather shellfish, which depends on good water quality to ensure healthy salmon habitat and shellfish that are safe to eat. Nonpoint sources of water pollution constantly threaten our natural resources. When a shellfish harvest area is closed because of pollution, or salmon runs are reduced because of poor water quality, our treaty rights are denied altogether.
We all live downstream – every one of us. We need to keep that in mind and work together to restore and protect water quality in this state.

Also called Acajou, Tropical American Mahogany, and Honduras Mahogany. This medium to large tree occurs throughout Central and South America. Related to Cuban Mahogany (Swietenia mahogani) and Pacific Coast Mahogany (Swietenia humilis). It produces one of the classic furniture and cabinetmaking woods. The heartwood varies from a light reddish-brown to a rich, dark red. Generally straight grained and exceptionally stable, it is easy to machine, hand plane, sand and finish. Occasional logs produce several figures, curly, quilted, and the rare plum pudding figure which looks like large drips running down the board. Used in fine furniture and joinery, boat building, and in the guitar industry for acoustic sets and necks.

Governments and international agencies frequently boast that small farmers control the largest share of the world's agricultural land. When the director general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation inaugurated 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming, he sang the praises of family farmers but didn't once mention the need for land reform. Instead, he announced that family farms already manage most of the world's farmland – a whopping 70%, according to his team.
But a new review of the data carried out by GRAIN reveals that the opposite is true. Small farms, which produce most of the world's food, are currently squeezed onto less than a quarter of the world's farmland – or less than one fifth if you leave out China and India.
GRAIN's report also provides new data that show that small farmers still provide most of the world's food, and that they are often much more productive than large corporate farms. If all of Kenya's farms matched the output of its small farms, the nation's agricultural productivity would double. In Central America, it would nearly triple. Women are the major food producers, but their role remains unrecorded and marginalised.
The international agencies keep on reminding us that we need to produce more food to feed the growing population. But how much more food could be produced almost immediately if small farmers had access to more land and could work in a supportive policy environment, rather than under the siege conditions they are facing today?
"The vast majority of farms in Zimbabwe belong to small holders and their average farmsize has increased as a result of the Fast Track Land Reform Programme. Small farmers in the country now produce over 90% of diverse agricultural food crops, while they only provided 60-70% of the national food before land redistribution. More women own land in their own right, which is key to food sovereignty everywhere", said Elizabeth Mpofu, General coordinator of La Via Campesina.
We need to urgently put land back in the hands of small farmers and make the struggle for genuine and comprehensive agrarian reform central to the fight for better food systems. Something peasant organisations and landless people's movements have long been fighting for.
Due to a myriad of forces, average farm sizes have shrunk dramatically over the past decades, particularly in Asia and Africa.
Despite what the UN and others report, small farms occupy less than 25% of the world's farmland today – just 17%, if we exclude India and China.
One major reason why small farms are disappearing is the rapid growth of monoculture plantations. In the last 50 years, 140 million hectares – well more than all the farmland in China – have been taken over for soybean, oil palm, rapeseed and sugar cane alone.
By definition, peasant agriculture prioritises food production for local and national markets as well as for farmers' own families – not commodities or export crops. GRAIN compiled staggering statistics that show how, even with so little land, small farms produce the bulk of many countries' food supply.
Industrial farms have enormous power, clout and resources, but small farms almost everywhere outperform big farms in terms of productivity. If all of Kenya's farms matched the output of its small farms, the nation's agricultural productivity would double. In Central America, it would nearly triple. If Russia's big farms were as productive as its small ones, output would increase by a factor of six.
Women's immense contribution to farming and food production is not captured in official statistics and they are discriminated against when it comes to controlling land in most countries.

FanDuel GPP Picks Week 13
Home > DFS
Travis Strickland @DFS_Travis
Not on FanDuel? Sign up with our special offer to get 5 free entries and try it out…
It's Week 13 and hopefully by now you've secured a fantasy playoff berth and are well on your way to winning a #FootClanTitle. Whether this is the case or not FanDuel is always a new season each week and chance to cash in on a great line-up and have plenty of fun in the process. It's Wednesday which means the salary costs for each player this week has been and set and it's time for my fellow writers and I to scour the list to try to find you some low-cost GPP gems. The kinds of picks that save you enough salary cap to fill out your roster with some of the more pricey options while helping to keep you under the salary cap. They are also somewhat long shots to finish at the top of their positions "hence the price", however we believe they have what it takes this week to pull it off and help set your GPP line-ups apart from the rest. So without further ado, who are the players we are targeting this week and why.
QB Trevor Siemian @ JAC, $7100
"If passing for 368 passing yards and 3 touchdowns against a very game Kansas City Defense wasn't impressive, then you should think highly about playing Trevor Siemian against another stingy defense in the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Broncos need these road wins in order to catch up to the Raiders and win the division so they don't have to play in the Wild Card game. You still might need to monitor his status for Sunday as he missed Wednesday's practice due to a foot sprain. He's currently in a boot, but if he can shed it by Sunday he's a great play. If not look for rookie Paxton Lynch as a dark horse and true dart throw."
–Brandon Sanders, @brandontsanders
WR Marvin Jones Jr. @NO, $5600
"This is a pure matchup play in a game that could easily turn into a fantasy bonanza with an over/under of 53. Despite the major let down Jones has been since Week 3, he actually tied for his season high of 11 targets last week against Minnesota. The Saints allow the sixth-most passing yards (271) per game in the league and this should be a shootout. With his price seriously depressed and the public maintaining a bad taste in their mouth, this seems like the perfect week to jump on board with Jones in a GPP."
–Kyle Borgognoni, @kyle_borg
QB Matt Barkley vs SF, $6000
"Despite a horrendous day from his receivers, Barkley still finished with a decent fantasy line in his first NFL Start on Sunday. He threw 3 TDs and 2 INTs on his way to a 312 passing yard performance. He was the 11th highest scoring QB priced at the $6000 QB minimum. He takes on the San Francisco 49ers who have given up at least 19 fantasy points to opposing QBs in 5 of their last 6 games. -Believe it or not, the 49ers offense is rolling and I think there will be more points in this game than people think. You can't beat his price and I wouldn't hesitate to throw him out there this weekend."
–Nick Martinez-Esquibel, @THENickMartinez
RB Dion Lewis vs LA, $5000
Good news everyone. I've finally discovered a way to successfully predict the usage and production of New England RBs. Just kidding, that's impossible. Anytime you're banking on one of these guys you have to be willing to admit that it's a dart throw. That said, Dion Lewis has seen his usage climb over the past two weeks and his skills in the passing game on a high-powered offense are very appealing as they face an LA team this just got shredded by the Saints through the air. It's hard to find players with this much TD upside for $5000, which makes this contrarian play very interesting for GPP.

Clear Your Confusion Over Choosing Cinnamon Or Mate
Linux is deemed to be one of the most powerful packages of the operating systems which have been ruling different facets of infrastructures that prevail today. It was established in 1991 and has become strong enough to base different technologies in networking to date. However, there have been various features and distributions of Linux over the years, and users choose them to fit their purpose. One of the famous Linux distributions which have stood the test of times is Linux Mint. This is based on Ubuntu and seems to have been the most used and exclusive Linux distribution over the years. It is a GNU modeled distribution that is modern and sleek offering a comfortable and user-friendly environment for its consumers.
Digging deep into the Linux Mint distribution which has been used extensively, we get to the features of this Linux distribution. People who prefer Linux Mint are thrust with the option of choosing which desktop environment they must be using to score their requirements.
All Linux users have always had this dilemma which they resolve by analyzing every aspect of all the available Desktop environments. Linux Mint hosts 3 different desktop environments, Linux Mint Cinnamon, Linux Mint Mate, and Linux Mint Xfce. Cinnamon and Mate are supposedly the most demanded desktop environments as users toy between these options before settling for one.
Desktop Environment:
A desktop environment is an interface that comprises different applications and functions to be used by the user. Users are the consumers of the operating system and they connect to the system via desktop environments. It lists lots of utilities that are accessed by the users to execute their tasks. Every Desktop environment boasts of different designs, working systems, files, applications, wallpapers, and icons. Even the file explorers and menus will change according to the choice of one's desktop environment.
Cinnamon and Mate are the two desktop environments that are in deliberation most of the time. So coming back to the choice between the two, let us dive into the various factors that go into deciding the correct environment.
Analyzing their origin:
Even before Cinnamon and Mate came into existence, Linux Mint hosted a powerful Desktop environment called Gnome. It was also extensively used long before their improvisations started picking up. The Gnome had some gaps in its user-friendliness that it got updated to Gnome2 which served a better usage. Mate is based on the Gnome2 environment and it emulates most of its features. The update to Gnome2 was Gnome3 which received criticisms due to some of its functionalities. Cinnamon is an emulation of Gnome3 and works to better the weakness of Gnome3. Comparing these 2 environments, let us draw conclusions as to what could serve better.
Comparison of features:
The display features for both environments are similar from an external standpoint. However, if we navigate the menus and folders, we will find the difference as Cinnamon poses to be modern and best-suited for current times, whereas Mate still looks traditional. In the Cinnamon environment, there are few tabs that display the utilities, and Mate has a list of tabs and subtabs requiring deeper navigations. Mate is a traditional environment that works its best when it comes to processing speed, while Cinnamon is like any other current environment that is used excessively these days.
Differences of compatible inner features:
Cinnamon Mate
Terminal Emulator is Gnome. Terminal Emulator is Mate
Hosts Nemo file manager. Light-weighted and easier accessibility Hosts CAJA file manager. Boasts of lots of facilities and heavier
Xed text editor Xed text editor
Image Viewer with access Xviewer Image Viewer with access to Xviewer
Rhythmbox availability in Media Player Rhythmbox availability in Media Player
Since both the environments come with similar features and facilities, it boils down to the question of what suits your purpose better. Mate is designed and it would serve better in a work environment, while Cinnamon can be used contemporarily for various reasons. As Cinnamon offers a variety of designs and themes, it could bring a better appearance to the look and feel of your projects like presentations and demonstrations. Mate can be used for administration purposes or as development environments to build software and applications. Since we have come a full circle of explaining both the varieties and their usage, now you will have a better understanding of what you want between the two.
