Athens, January 29th 2019 – The Hellenic Initiative (THI) stands by The HOME Project donating $ 32,400 and aims to reinforce its work to help the thousands of unaccompanied minors who have been registered in Greece since 2015 to find a real Home and feel children again. THI donation covers a part-time psychologist and part of the psychiatric supervision for children accommodated by The Home Project for a full year.
Standing for 'Help, Overcome, Motivate, and Empower, The HOME Project has a multidimensional mission: First, to bring unaccompanied minors to safety in dedicated shelters where they receive a holistic network of services including educational, psychopaedagogical, legal, medical and social integration services and care. Second, to source, refurbish, and convert unused buildings into shelters, bringing them back to life and into good use. Third, through the conversion, refurbishment, and ongoing operation of these shelters to create employment, for Greeks as well as for the refugee and migrant population.

In two years The HOME Project has provided a holistic network of child protection services to more than 300 children in 11 homes, while creating more than 130 jobs.


Would you lend money to a person neck deep in debt? A person who has even mortgaged his house and personal belongings for debt?
Most likely the answer to this question will be 'No'! Even if the person concerned is a relative or a friend, you will try to wriggle out of the situation by making excuses or atleast try to lower the loan amount; after all most likely you are not going to get your money back.
While investing, your first concern should always be preservation of your capital. As the first rule of investing says 'Never Lose Money'. Now consider this situation: Promoters of a company have taken debt by keeping as collateral their controlling stake of the very company they own. Will you invest in such a company whose promoters have 'pledged their shares'? No? Well, according to news reports many investors actually do invest in such companies. Infact, as per the latest numbers as many as 885 companies have pledged their shares amounting to a humongous Rs. 1,75,000 Cr and according to a report by one of the brokerage houses of 191 companies in the BSE 500 list are pledged.
So, let's first understand what is Pledging of Shares?
Share pledging is the phenomenon when the promoters keep the shares of the company that they own as collateral for debt; this debt is taken either for personal needs or for funding the company's business – be it for expanding the business or day-to-day activities. The shares are pledged with banks or non-banking finance institutions who offer the loan to promoters. NBFCs have been major lenders for these types of loans. The financial institutions generally lend 25-50% of the share value depending upon the liquidity in the market, promoter's reputation and risk profile of the business and the stock. So, if a promoter wants a loan of Rs. 100 Cr., he has to pledge shares worth Rs. 200-Rs. 400 Cr. Doesn't seem much of a problem, does it? Promoters want money, they take a loan against the shares that they own. What's the problem in that?
Usually, the promoters will go for share pledging only after exploring and extinguishing the other sources to raise funds. Think of share pledging as a last resort – equivalent to a person mortgaging his house or even personal belongings for money. The company will usually have high debt on its books and will have already mortgaged its plants and inventory. Banks or NBFCs will be unwilling to lend and hence the promoters pledge their holding. This is a clear indication that the company is short of cash – not an ideal situation for any company.
The real problem starts when the company's share price drops – due to bad performance or any other reason. Once the price drops, the value of the collateral decreases. So, shares which were initially worth say Rs. 400 Cr. are now worth only Rs. 300 Cr. The lender doesn't like this. To protect his loan and limit his risk he needs more collateral and hence promoters get a call either to provide more money i.e. a margin call or pledge more shares. If they cannot do this, the lender has the right to sell pledged shares in the market and recover the money. It has been seen that the fear or even a rumour of margin calls also trigger large scale sale of some shares. The stock price then gets into a free fall and the drop is so quick that retail investors have no time to react.
So, why do promoters yet go for share pledging?
Share pledging can lead to promoters losing their stake in the company. Yet, as mentioned before as many as 885 companies have seen pledging of shares. Why do promoters then still go for this kind of funding? For one, as mentioned before, it is a last resort funding to secure cash for the business. The company will usually be heavily leveraged and getting more debt will prove difficult and more expensive. Promoters also go for share pledging because they do not have to liquidate their holdings to meet their cash requirements. During the period of pledge, promoters will continue to receive dividends, bonus etc. Thus, they still enjoy the benefits of holding the shares. Pledging is considered extremely risky if used for the promoter's private funding needs.
Which Indian companies have gone for pledging of shares?
Promoters of many Indian companies have pledged shares to raise cash for working capital requirements, debt repayment, capacity expansion etc.
The table above gives the list of companies whose promoters have pledged their shares. Recently, shares of companies like GTL, S Kumar Nation and Orchid Chemicals have nosedived with the promoters pledging a large portion of their shares.
How do I take the Scare out of Stocks?
Market Capitalization in India and how you can use it to invest in Stocks.
How to find out whether a particular company's share has been pledged and to what extent ? Where the details are found ?
Pledging of shares came into prominence after Satyam's debacle. The promoter, Mr. Raju, had pledged his entire holding which led to a massive fall in prices once the details were out. Post this, the market regulator SEBI made it mandatory to companies and promoters to disclose the details about pledging of shares as soon as it occurs and also periodically. According to the regulations, promoters have to disclose details about pledging within 7 working days to the exchanges they are listed on.
Apart from this, pledging details can also be obtained from the quarterly disclosure about the share holding pattern of the companies on BSE. Click on the link given below to check the shareholding pattern of the companies you have invested in.
Hats off to you guys!

From 'Linsanity' to 'Linsensibility'
Posted By Bryan Lienesch On Thursday, July 19, 2012 12:52 AM. Under NBA Basketball, Sports
ROCKETEER: Jeremy Lin is headed to Houston, but by his own admission there are some mixed feelings on the subject. Photo courtesy Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Oh, our young feel-good stories. They grow up into foot-in-mouth superstars so fast, don't they?
Take Jeremy Lin, for example. Months ago, he took the NBA by storm. Do you remember that? It feels like forever ago. Back in early February, the Asian-American Point Guard took a league shrouded in suspected conspiracies and deep-seeded pessimism and gave even the most casual of basketball fans something to root for.
But that was five months ago. Back then, the Heat were just another underperforming dream team and Dwight Howard seemed to have one foot out the door in Orlando. Okay, that part hasn't changed but you catch my drift. The man who once went by the screen name chink balla 88 has changed a lot since then.
For instance, recently he found he would no longer be a New York Knick after the Knicks refused to match the offer the Houston Rockets put up for the restricted free agent. A big payday and a one-way ticket to a team that will instantly adopt him as their next sports deity. Jeremy Lin must've been the happiest 23-year-old in the world, right? Actually, no.
"Honestly, I preferred New York," Jeremy Lin told SI.com.
What? Did he just say that OUT LOUD? Better yet, does he KNOW he just said that out loud? Because, if he doesn't, someone ought to tell him he just instantly alienated the fan base of the city where he'll be playing basketball the next three years.
Now, it's always refreshing when a big sports name talks to the media candidly. And for that, we should thank Lin. But, Jeremy, would a little diplomacy kill you, bud?
Let's be clear: no one's blaming you for having felt the way you do. Do you prefer New York? Of course you do, who wouldn't? But you can't go out and say that even before you step off the plane in Texas. There must've been a Public Relations course at Harvard where you would've learned that.
Instead of welcoming his new home with open arms, Jeremy Lin took one last opportunity to save face with the fan base he was bidding farewell to. In a lot of ways, the move sort of makes him the anti-Lebron. And yet, the end result is the same: instant villainy.
The trouble here is, the people who will turn a cold shoulder to Lin aren't in the place he USED to play. If you're of the opinion that Houston gave Lin as much money as they did to sell tickets more than to win games, it's conceivable that that plan just backfired.
What Lin forgot when he uttered those five words is that the Houston Rockets are paying him more than $25 million over the next three years. That's face-of-the-franchise money, people. For 25 million you could get me to bottle up a lot of my feelings or even say some things I don't honestly believe. Hell, for even HALF that I'd say I love someone like Fidel Castro (people in sports have done it for a lot less, you know).
So was Lin's comment to SI.com stupid? Absolutely. But most Rockets fans will probably give the youngster a pass and as well they should. If you're going to get hung up on what Lin said just remember this: HE signed with Houston. Maybe Jeremy talks, but money talks more. Lin might miss New York, but James Dolan isn't the one cutting his paychecks anymore. And once he puts on the rocket red and realizes that, Houston will have the big name they've been searching for.

War of the Rebellion: Serial 013 Page 0572 THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGN, VA. Chapter XXIII.
became greatly separated. Finding myself with a portion of the Thirty, third Regiment, Colonel Neff, and a portion of the Fourth Regiment-I moved to the assistance of our troops through the swamp sending Captain O'Brien to find the other regiments and bring them up. On emerging from the swamp I found a handful of gallant men of the First and Third North Carolina Regiments receiving a most terrific fire. I immediately placed the Thirty-third and Fourth Regiments in position, and with about 100 men held this hill against the enemy, who gave us the most terrific fire I have ever seen. There was a continuous stream of shot, shell, and balls for some two hours, when the enemy's fire slackened, and ceased about 10 p.m.
During this time the officers and men behaved with true courage. Our loss was heavy.
Colonel Neff and Major F. W. M. Holliday, Thirty-third Regiment, and Lieutenants Howard and Garnett, of my staff, particularly attracted my admiration by their coolness and untiring efforts to keep the men in their position. Their escape from injury is truly providential.
About 9 p.m., while trying to find remnants of my brigade-for some few men had found out my position and joined-I met a portion of the Thirteenth Georgia Regiment and ordered it to this position. In a short time parts of my regiments came up, all having been subjected to a heavy fire while moving up, but in consequence of the thick wood and darkness could not find their proper positions. For details of their operations I refer to their several reports.
Here the fearless and gallant Colonel A. J. Grigsby, Twenty-seventh Regiment Virginia Volunteers, was wounded-slightly, I am glad to say-but obliged to leave the field. Captain O'Brien, of my staff, was injured by a fall from his horse, and not with me after reaching the field.
Hearing of troops near by not engaged I immediately sent for them, and was soon re-enforced by a portion of General Lawton's brigade, General J. R. Jones' brigade, under Lieutenant-Colonel Cunningham, and a part of the Louisiana Brigade, and that gallant band of Marylanders under the brave Colonel B. T. Johnson. Colonel Johnson, hearing I needed assistance, came forward to tender his regiment, which I gladly accepted, and gave him the advance, directing him to extend our line some half a mile to the right, placing my picket on and near the flank of the enemy. This duty he executed rapidly and with good judgment, holding this position until after the enemy had retired the following day. Lieutenant-Colonel Cunningham's brigade I placed on Johnson's left and the balance of Lawton's brigade between Cunningham's and my original position, securing my entire front and flank, sleeping on the field so hotly contested against heavy odds.
After these dispositions General Lawton arrived, and I rode in to report to Generals Hill and Jackson my position. This effected, I returned to the field before dawn and made the requisite dispositions to repulse any attack; but at daylight we found the enemy had evacuated his position during the night, taking off his guns, but leaving his dead, small-arms, and other indications of a defeat and hasty retreat, which was an agreeable surprise, for I had learned, through prisoners captured about daylight, his force the day previous had been vastly superior to ours.
Shortly after 6 a.m. on the 2nd instant I was ordered to bivouac some 2 miles from the front.


What can you do if you find that your apartment has lead paint?
Most of us are aware that earlier in this century lead was used as a main ingredient in all types of paint. This practice went on for decades until the public became aware of the adverse effects of lead exposure. In 1978, the use of lead in paint was banned in the United States. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean that you don't have it in your rental or house.
The exposure to lead can cause severe health issues. Although young children, especially toddlers who usually put a lot in their mouths, are at the highest risk, exposure to lead can be detrimental to adults as well. Exposure can cause emergency side effects such as vomiting and seizures, but can also cause long-term issues such as mental and developmental impairments. Therefore, if you have young children or are expecting a child, you want to steer clear of paint that contains lead, especially if it is peeling, flaking, chipping or creating dust.
If your apartment is in a building that was built before 1960, it likely contains lead paint. But, the use of lead was not banned until the late 1970's so any building from that area may contain the toxic substance. If you think there might be lead paint in your apartment, you can request an inspection from the City of New York. If children under the age of 6 reside in the apartment, it is City law that the apartment be inspected once a year. If lead paint is found it cannot just be painted over. A professional painter certified in lead remediation must be brought in to remove the substance. This should be done at no cost to the renter, as it is the landlord's responsibility.
If you have lead paint or any other rental issues, you should speak to an experienced Bronx real estate attorney today.


Today I attended worship in this beautiful old church. No air conditioning, no electric guitars, no overheads or speakers, just lovely people and wonderful old hymns. Beautiful.
It was balm to the soul.
Praise be - how awesome.
I went to one on Cape Cod once and never forgot it.
It sounds like the perfect church Deborah - like coming home.
Some of the "new" churches are more like sports stadiums and their services are "staged events".
I love the familiar old hymns too.
Most of them that are neighborhood churches are simple around here, singing without music, just the Sunday by the worshippers.
I loved this post, you always share such lovely posts that hit the heart.
How beautiful, and it sounded like a wonderful time. That hymn has always been my favorite.
And exchange it some day for a crown. This pretty church looks like the one I attended as a child.
You were lucky for having such a nice and quiet little Church.
I missed Church today because I was having severe mid-back pain. A couple of days and I know it is from working a bit too hard for getting everything ready and the entire home in tip-top shape before my Etiquette Class on Saturday. It paid off but I went back to bed after breakfast this morning; much needed rest and sleep.
My kind of church sounds delightful. I am a fan of the old and familiar hymns too.
I love these old wooden churches. Although the new praise and worship songs are good, I do miss those old hymns we sang in church as I grew up.
Oh Deborah, what a wonderful experience for you! I love the picture of the simple white church and the hymn that you shared.
Aww what a beauty Sunday in worship you must have had. That church is gorgeous, and the Old Rugged Cross~ one of my all time favorites.
I sang that precious hymn with a few of the ladies in the church I was attending for an Easter service just after I gave my life to Christ many many years ago, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Lovely, Deborah! And that beautiful old hymn sung in the old-fashioned way of my own girlhood, I can feel the balm all the way here!
What a beautiful church. My parents went to a little church like this. Love this old hymn. It is one of my favorites to sing and play on the piano. So nice to catch up today. I'm getting back from some time away from the computer and so nice to start the new week visiting you.
I would have thought I died and went to heaven.
We should all experiance attending a service In An old church such as this... We have one here that painted itself yellow, now they are going back to white, something about these old country churches they just need to be white.
I love the old hymns the best ....that old church is just beautiful.
I love simple, old churches like that. Often precious people are there. Just wonderful to visit and observe a bit. I bet they were happy to have you!

Kellyanne Conway is Ridiculous -- Again.
It's hard to say what the most ridiculous part of this is.And it's only a minute and a half.
"It's way over the line." -@KellyannePolls reacts to James Clapper questioning Pres. Trump's fitness for office pic.twitter.com/w4Db17t6g5
— FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) August 24, 2017
I'm sorry you had to see that.
Anyway, what is the most ridiculous part?
Is it maybe when she complains about news channels not reporting straight news but trotting out a parade of pundits to "opinionate" and "pontificate" while she's speaking to FOX AND FRIENDS, on a network that is built entirely on blowhards opinionating and pontificating and of course no one sees the irony at all.
Maybe it's the idea that Clapper's assessment of Il Douche's fitness for office is "way over the line," when no one on this network seemed to think it was over the line to question the previous president's patriotism, honesty, intelligence or citizenship. It was not, apparently "over the line" to claim that the previous president had "a deep-seated hatred of white people," And it was certainly not over the line to call our last president a Marxist. And a fascist. And a Nazi. And a Maoist. And a Bolshevik. And a Trotskyite.
Is it when she claims that the media was "way too afraid" of the Obama administration? Like sure, that was 8 solid years of no criticism of the administration. Yeah, you never heard anything negative about Barack Obama in the media!
I would say the part about the press not being scared enough of Orange Julius Caesar was pretty ridiculous, but it's also kinda scary.
Or is it the verbal eyeroll she gives when she talks about the press doing their jobs and reporting facts and holding people accountable as if that's some sort of absurd idea.
Is it that Democrats are supposedly "whispering" that they wish Hillary Clinton would not have written a book, that she should "make herself useful" or "go away," like you know who's privy to the whisperings of the Democratic Party? Kellyanne fucking Conway! Yeah, of course, whenever a Democrat has a problem with the direction of the party, they go right to the most dishonest member of the Dolt 45 talking head brigade.
I guess the most ridiculous part is when she reflexively shits into "yeah, well what about Hillary?" mode.
"Where is her big c4 trying to help women and children?' Um, you mean the CLINTON FOUNDATION?
"Where's her bi-partisan effort to help with infrastructure?" You do know she's OUT OF OFFICE, right? What the hell is she supposed to do? Somehow she's going to be the one to get Republicans to get off their asses and produce some sort of bi-partisan legislation even though the entire idea of any kind of bipartisanship is anathema to your entire party? A party, by the way, that controls both houses of Congress and the White House and can pass whatever it wants even without Ms Clinton's help. And by the way, her name is "Secretary Clinton." Show some goddamm respect, you little hack. We would also accept "Ms. Clinton," "Ms. Rodham-Clinton," "Senator," or "Mrs. Clinton." What makes you think you're on a first-name basis with a person of actual accomplishment?
Oh, and Kellyanne? You say you're working on the opioid crisis every single day? Wow, you're doing a bang-up job!

One gene–one enzyme hypothesis, idea advanced in the early 1940s that each gene controls the synthesis or activity of a single enzyme. The concept, which united the fields of genetics and biochemistry, was proposed by American geneticist George Wells Beadle and American biochemist Edward L. Tatum, who conducted their studies in the mold Neurospora crassa. Their experiments involved first exposing the mold to mutation-inducing X-rays and then culturing it in a minimal growth medium that contained only the basic nutrients that the wild-type, or nonmutated, strain of mold needed to survive. They found that the mutant strains of mold required the addition of specific amino acids to the minimal medium in order to grow. Using this information, the researchers were able to associate mutations in specific genes to the disruption of individual enzymes in the metabolic pathways that normally produced the missing amino acids. This discovery won Beadle and Tatum the 1958 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine (shared with American geneticist Joshua Lederberg).
Although the hypothesis was amply verified in principle, it has undergone considerable sophistication since the 1940s. Today it is known that not all genes encode an enzyme and that some enzymes are made up of several short polypeptides encoded by two or more genes.


What's Better – Keno or Bingo?
Keno and Bingo might appear similar, but there are quite a few significant differences between them.
Both are extremely old games that have been played since ancient times, and both use cards or tickets with numbers on them. Both of them pay out for your numbers coming up.
Which one, then, is more worth your while?
Keno is one of the oldest casino games in human history, first being played in the Han dynasty of China over 3,000 years ago.
It's still good fun that is why it's still being played even today. With keno, you're allowed to pick up to twenty numbers of your own choice out of eighty. Keno is similar to a lottery ticket.
Unlike the lottery, however, you can make your own bet and will receive the results more or less right away, depending on whether you're playing video or live keno.
Bingo, on the other hand, doesn't allow you to choose your own numbers. Bingo's origins come from 16th century Italy. Some enjoy the social aspect of visiting a bingo hall whereas others prefer to play at home, where the computer can keep track of the winning numbers for them.
With bingo, you will find some more variety than with keno, as there are different patterns that bingo callers look for.
When it comes to strategy, there's not much to be said for either keno or bingo. Both games operate using randomly selected numbers. Video keno can have an RTP of anywhere between 80 to 95%, but it requires the punter to be more aware of their betting patterns.
If you play just one number, you have a 1 in 4 chance of winning; of course, it's tempting to play the full 20 numbers, though the odds of winning all 20 numbers in a round of keno is nearly impossible, and you'll be placing a higher bet to do so.
Because in bingo you pay the same amount for each card, rather than each number, it is much easier to keep track of how much money you're investing in the game compared to keno, which has different betting options depending on how many numbers you would like to play.
However, in one bingo game there will be only one winner, and buying a ton of cards won't win you any consolation prizes, whereas in Keno, even if you play just one number, you have a 1 in 4 chance of winning, since twenty numbers are drawn out of eighty; of course, it's tempting to play the full 20 numbers, though the odds of winning all 20 numbers in a round of keno is nearly impossible, and you'll be placing a higher bet to do so.
Both bingo and keno involve putting your favourite lucky numbers to the test. Which one is 'better' really comes down to your pace of play.
If you crave something that moves quickly and want to have more control over the numbers you bet, video keno might be the right game for you.
If you would rather relax and focus your eye on one big prize, then bingo might be more your style, especially if you enjoy the social element that often comes with bingo.
You can find amazing bingo and keno games at VegasLand online casino such as Quick Bingo or Super Keno by Tomhorn gaming provider. You can even play a live version of keno for the best keno experience at VegasLand Casino.

Ightham is one of the many delightful Wealden villages in 'The Garden of England'. Nestled in the foothills of the North Downs, the village Square with its mediaeval half-timbered houses and historic pub still reflects a century's old rural existence.
The historic village pub, the 'George and Dragon', has long been dispensing hospitality in its heavily beamed snug to villagers and visitors alike. Excellent food can be found here, so why not pause and enjoy the friendly welcome before exploring further.
Wander up from the Square to the church of St Peter's. This has been the focus for village worship since the 12th century. Memorable for its outstanding monuments, the most famous is that of Dame Dorothy Selby, a fine needlewoman with an intriguing local legend as one of the discoverers of the Gunpowder Plot.
Ightham Mote is one of the village's great houses. Now National Trust owned, Ightham Mote is the most complete small mediaeval manor house in Kent. Every visit to Ightham should include an exploration of this moated gem, whose atmosphere reflects 650 years of history.
Surrounded by Kentish apple and cherry orchards, cobnut plats and hop farms, Ightham is situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Spring bluebells and fruit blossom, misty Autumn landscapes and snowy Downland fields, ensure that a visit to Ightham in any season will always be a peaceful retreat.

Recently, one of my children backed our car out of the garage using the Braille system. Hearing the all-too-familiar crunching sound, I went to the passenger door to examine the damage.
As I placed my hand on the door handle, I found myself praying a nonsensical prayer.
I call the prayer nonsensical, because I knew no matter what I prayed, the damage already had happened. Prayed after the fact, it sounded as though I was hoping my prayer would change history.
However, while my prayer may have seemed futile, it also was a very human prayer. Prayers that come from our disappointments and hurt often will not make sense to the casual listeners. That's because they're done in a language of the heart that's not easily translated.
A cancer patient once told me her prayers didn't make sense. A few years prior, her obstetrician told her the lump he found in her breast was nothing to worry about. Two children later, she found herself in the third stage of cancer. Now, she wondered whether it was crazy to ask God to heal her in this advanced stage.
So, to this very scared mom on our oncology unit, I admitted what I knew to be true: I knew nothing.
Looking for sensible words at a time like this is like looking for patterns in the wind. Sensible prayers are our attempt to find a formula or spell by which we try and make God do as we wish. We've invented all kinds of prayer systems, but in the end, the only thing that gets us through the hardest times are the prayers that resonate in our hearts.
When it comes to the language of prayer, God uses the human heart to be a sort of universal translator by which he is best able to hear us. The prayers we express at a time like this don't always align with sensible theology.
The gist of the teaching is: When it's just you and God in the closet, you have no witnesses, you don't care what your prayers sound like. The only thing that will matter is God hears you.
At the end of the day, whether it is hitting the garage wall with your car or hitting the wall of reality, our prayers rarely will make much human sense, but the prayers of a tearful heart always will find the ear of a loving God.

El palacio del Marqués de Canillejas, antiguo palacio o casa de los Carreño-Solís o de Carreño y conocido popularmente como palacio de Valdesoto, está situado en la parroquia de Valdesoto, en el concejo de Siero, área central del Principado de Asturias. Ubicado en una amplia finca que posee uno de los jardines históricos de mayor entidad de la región, fue construido en el siglo XVII  y constituye un ejemplo destacado de la arquitectura palacial asturiana del estilo barroco desornamentado, contando el edificio con algunos añadidos y reformas datables en el siglo XIX.

El conjunto fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural, con la categoría de Monumento, en el año 2006.

Descripción
Destaca el jardín del palacio, delimitado por un muro acastillado de buenas dimensiones, con una superficie de 70.000 metros cuadrados, considerado uno de los mejores ejemplos de jardín clásico de Asturias (con sus parterres, ambulacro, galería de estatuas, escalinatas, balaustradas, cenador, columnas de piedra, plaza de azulejos esmaltados). Su diseño de tintes versallescos se debió a un autor francés de finales del siglo XIX.

El edificio tiene forma de bloque cerrado de estructura lisa y desornamentada con planta rectangular a dos alturas y aspecto compacto, únicamente roto en su alzado por la disposición de una estructura en forma de torre en la esquina de las fachadas norte y este.

El centro de la construcción está abierto por medio de un patio con galerías soportadas por cuatro columnas toscanas.

En la fachada Este, destaca una capilla de estilo neogótico adosada a la vivienda, a la que se accede desde el interior del edificio por medio de una tribuna.

La superficie en planta del palacio es de alrededor de 400 metros cuadrados, teniendo sus lados algo más de 20 metros de longitud.

Consta además de un conjunto de dependencias auxiliares de corte más popular que se alinean en torno a la fachada norte, compuesto por diversas edificaciones levantadas ex profeso en diferentes espacios: el pabellón, el invernadero, las jaulas para aves y para las fieras, el mirador, el palomar e incluso un complejo ingenio hidráulico y una panera de grandes dimensiones.

El palacio de Valdesoto posee una interesantísima colección de muebles, pinturas, cerámicas y otros objetos decorativos que adornan su interior. Esta colección destaca por la gran calidad de sus elementos integrantes, que sin duda forman parte de la historia del edificio y de sus moradores, pertenecientes a un restringido sector social no bien representado en las colecciones públicas de Asturias.

Historia
Se documenta una casa solar de los Carreño en este mismo lugar en el siglo XVII, probablemente renovada en el siglo siguiente y entre cuyos restos se sitúa una pequeña ventana con sogueado, colocada en el extremo de la fachada oeste, junto al ábside de la capilla. La construcción del palacio actual data del siglo XVIII, adscribiéndose a la corriente del Barroco desornamentado con algunos añadidos y reformas efectuadas de finales del siglo XIX que no ha afectado gravemente a la concepción original de la construcción.

Francisco Carreño Miranda, regidor perpetuo de la ciudad de Oviedo, que falleció en Zamora en 1677, era dueño de la Casa de Carreño en Valdesoto y de la de Faes. Su hijo, el capitán Francisco Carreño y Estrada falleció en dicha casa en 1700. Su esposa Luisa de Peón y Vigil falleció en el mismo lugar en 1724. Una de sus hijas, Serafina, sería la abuela paterna de Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, quien se alojó allí en 1790 durante una de sus expediciones a las zonas mineras. Otra de ellas, María Teresa, se casó en Valdesoto en agosto de 1716 con el avilesino Fernando Carlos Miranda y Ribera.

Buena parte de los sucesivos Carreño nacerían o serían bautizados en Valdesoto. En el siglo XIX una de sus propietarias fue Ramona Carreño Solís (m. 1849), casada con Manuel Hilario Vereterra Rivero (m. 1854), marqués de Gastañaga y Deleitosa. Heredó el Palacio el hijo de ambos, Miguel de Vereterra y Carreño, casado con Amalia Lombán Ibáñez de Mondragón, heredándolo a su vez el hijo de estos, el diputado a Cortes y senador vitalicio Manuel Vereterra Lombán, fallecido en 1931 y viudo desde 1909 de quien antes había sido su cuñada, Isabel Armada Fernández de Córdoba, marquesa de Canillejas, Grande de España e hija de los marqueses de San Esteban del Mar y condes de Revillagigedo.

El palacio de Valdesoto vivió con los marqueses de Canillejas una época de esplendor, acogiendo diversos actos sociales, fiestas y todo tipo de celebraciones familiares. Se afirma que fue visitado por el rey Alfonso XIII y asiduamente por su tía, la infanta Isabel de Borbón, conocida como La Chata. En 1924 sí recibió la visita del entonces Príncipe de Asturias, Alfonso de Borbón y Battenberg, motivo por el cual el suplemento del diario ABC dedicó varias páginas a describir e ilustrar el Palacio en su edición del 21 de septiembre.

A instancias del marqués viudo de Canillejas se construyó un panteón adosado a la iglesia parroquial de San Félix de Valdesoto, con entrada interior desde el crucero de la misma, donde está enterrada parte de su familia.

Una hija de los anteriores, Amalia Vereterra Armada, condesa de Villarea, heredó la casa y allí falleció el 7 de septiembre de 1976, pasando la propiedad a sus descendientes.

I did my usual endless driving trying to figure out the road system in this part of Canmore, very confusing. I finally found a good spot to park, leaving a hike of about 600m. I used a combo of trails, golf cart roads and bushwacking to get to the cache, man, that last 150 m was steep! I found the nicely cleaned off cap and enjoyed the terrific views for a while. Thanks for selecting this survey control monument for your BCP series ofth, it sure is in a beautiful spot.

Turkey urges China to respect Uighur rights, close camps
ISTANBUL, Feb 10 (AP): Turkey's foreign ministry has called China's treatment of its minority Uighurs "a great cause of shame for humanity."
In a statement Saturday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said it's "no longer a secret" that China has arbitrarily detained more than a million Uighurs in "concentration camps." He said the Turkic Muslim population faced pressure and "systematic assimilation" in western China.
Aksoy said Turkey has shared with China its position on "all levels" and urged authorities to close the detention facilities and respect human rights.
China has intensified a security crackdown on Uighurs that was put in place after a bloody 2009 riot. Droves of Uighurs have fled, many traveling to Turkey.
"It is no longer a secret that more than one million Uighur Turks, who are exposed to arbitrary arrests, are subjected to torture and political brainwashing in concentration centres and prisons," Aksoy said.
"We invite Chinese authorities to respect fundamental human rights of the Uighur Turks and shut down concentration camps," he said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had once accused China of "genocide" but has since established closer diplomatic and economic relations with Beijing.
China's Xinjiang region is home to around 10 million Uighurs. The Turkic Muslim group, which makes up around 45 percent of Xinjiang's population, has long accused Chinese authorities of cultural, religious and economic discrimination.
Practising Islam is forbidden in some parts of China, with individuals caught praying, fasting, growing a beard or wearing a hijab, a headscarf worn by many Muslim women who feel it is part of their religion, facing the threat of arrest.
China's crackdown on Uighur people has made headlines around the world.
In August last year, a United Nations panel of experts said it had received credible reports that over a million Uighurs and other Turkic language-speaking minorities were being held in so-called "re-education camps" where they are made to renounce Islam.

Q: Close Java HTTP Client Is there a way to close java.net.http.HttpClient to instantly release resources held by it?
Internally it holds a selector, a connection pool and an Executor (when default one is used). However it does not implement Closeable/AutoCloseable.

A: I had similar problem when I was redeploying a war file into Tomcat. War application had an HttpClient, that was running scheduled jobs issuing http requests and processing results.
I was seeing warnings from Tomcat when redeploying war file quite often on dev enrionment about hanging threads that may cause memory leaks. The stack trace was pointing to HttpClient threads. After several attempts I solved this problem in this way:

*

*HttpClient is created only when necessary to execute the job. It is not created as a field of a class or serivec, only as a local variable inside the scheduled method.

*HttpClient is created using builder and populated with a ThreadPool Executor, thus I keep the link to Executor and have control on it.

ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newBuilder().followRedirects(Redirect.ALWAYS).connectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(5)).executor(executor).build();

*When job is done in try-catch block, finally section has these two lines that: close the thread pool explicitly and set null to the httpClient local variable:

executor.shutdownNow();
client = null;
System.gc();

Notes, have short connection timeout to limit the time of execution. keep number of threads small. I use threadPool of 1 thread.
After all these changes warnings about memory leaks disappeared from Tomcat logs.

A: As you've noticed, java.net.http.HttpClient does not implement Closeable or AutoCloseable. So I can think of only 2 options, but neither of them are really bulletproof or even good:
You could eliminate every strong reference to the HttpClient that your program is holding and request a garbage collection. However there's a real risk that something beyond your direct control is holding onto it or one of its components. Any remaining strong references would prevent the referenced object, and any objects it holds a strong reference to, from being garbage collected. Nevertheless, this is arguably the more idiomatic option than the alternative.
I also found another option.
final class HttpClientImpl extends HttpClient implements Trackable {
    ...
    // Called from the SelectorManager thread, just before exiting.
    // Clears the HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 cache, ensuring that the connections
    // that may be still lingering there are properly closed (and their
    // possibly still opened SocketChannel released).
    private void stop() {
        // Clears HTTP/1.1 cache and close its connections
        connections.stop();
        // Clears HTTP/2 cache and close its connections.
        client2.stop();
    }
    ...
}

I wouldn't feel comfortable using this unless I had no other choice. Your reference is probably of type HttpClient, so you'd need to cast it to HttpClientImpl. It's bad to rely on the concrete implementation, which could change in future releases, rather than the HttpClient interface. The method is also private. There are ways around this but it's messy.

A: In Java 11, each HttpClient spawn a daemon thread called selmgr which supposed to take care of in fly requests. This thread will be closed when there is no reference to the HttpClient in the code. However, in my experience, it is not reliable. Especially, when you use asynchronous methods with future timeouts.
Here is a piece of code I wrote using reflection to reliably close the HttpClient
static void shutDownHttpClient(HttpClient httpClient)
{
    ThreadPoolExecutor threadPoolExecutor = (ThreadPoolExecutor) httpClient.executor().get();
    threadPoolExecutor.shutdown();
    try {
        Field implField = httpClient.getClass().getDeclaredField("impl");
        implField.setAccessible(true);
        Object implObj = implField.get(httpClient);
        Field selmgrField = implObj.getClass().getDeclaredField("selmgr");
        selmgrField.setAccessible(true);
        Object selmgrObj = selmgrField.get(implObj);
        Method shutDownMethod = selmgrObj.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("shutdown");
        shutDownMethod.setAccessible(true);
        shutDownMethod.invoke(selmgrObj);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("exception " + e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

As you can see, this is implementation-dependent and may not works with future Java versions. It is tested with Java 11 and Java 12.
Also, you need to add --add-opens java.net.http/jdk.internal.net.http=ALL-UNNAMED to your java command.

A: Obviously HttpClient is designed to be self managed. So it responsible to maintain connection pool, cache ttl by itself.
In HttpClientCode We could find the following code:
if (!owner.isReferenced()) {
                                Log.logTrace("{0}: {1}",
                                        getName(),
                                        "HttpClient no longer referenced. Exiting...");
                                return;
                            }

this is a graceful way to exit from SelectorManager loop and clean all resources.
 @Override
 public void run() {
            ...

            try {

                while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {

                    ...

                    if (!owner.isReferenced()) {
                        Log.logTrace("{0}: {1}",
                                getName(),
                                "HttpClient no longer referenced. Exiting...");
                        return;
                    }

                    ...
                }
            } catch (Throwable e) {
                ...
            } finally {
                ...
                shutdown();
            }
        }

    final boolean isReferenced() {
            HttpClient facade = facade();
            return facade != null || referenceCount() > 0;
        }

So when your HttpClient object will not be referenced, then it will clean all resources.
UPD: also you should tune your requests by passing timeouts

A: If it is just to gracefully close HttpClient at the end of the application lifecycle, System.exit(0) shall just work.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    ...
    System.exit(0);
}

I think it sends a interrupt signal to all threads in the JVM and HttpClient selmgr daemon does pick this up and shutdown itself.
final class HttpClientImpl extends HttpClient implements Trackable {
    ...
    // Main loop for this client's selector
    private final static class SelectorManager extends Thread {
        ...
        @Override
        public void run() {
            ...
            try {
                ...
                while (!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {...}
            } catch (Throwable e) {...}
            finally {
                ...
                shutdown();
            }

A: This is a bit late, but I just want to highlight that the comment from Jacob G. (Dec 25, 2018) contained a solution that worked for me:
Creating the httpClient:
myExecutorService = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
HttpClient myHttpClient = HttpClient.newBuilder()
    .executor(executor)
    ....
    .build();

Shutting down:
myExecutorService.shutDown();

Instead of having to wait for 90 seconds for the client to drop its connection, it happened "instantly".

Q: java jpql distinct and retrieve many fields I have this query in mysql:
select distinct Month(date), year(date), field3
from table

I wrote this code:
Query q = em.createQuery(
   "select distinct function('month',t.date) as month, function('year',t.date) as year, field3 as field3 from Table t"
);

I tried to cast the results into an HashMap<String, String> but jpql return a ClassCastException from Object to HashMap.
How can I retrieve these results?
Should I create a custom class that contains the three fields?
If it is correct, what will return month and year?
P.S.: I'm using jdk 1.8, jpa 2.1, mysql and eclipselink

A: You can retrieve the result by typing the expected result of the query.
A generic way is to indicate that you want retrieve a List of Object[].
The List corresponds to each line returned by the request and the Object[] contains values returned by each row. The object are ordered in the same order that values returned.
Alias are not needed because not used in the result. So I remove them.
And you should not query from the table name otherwise it looks like a SQL native query (which is possible to do with JPA) but you should rather specify in the FROM clause the entity name. So I modified it for the principle.
Here the modified query with the handling of the result :
 TypedQuery<Object[]> query = em.createQuery(
      "select distinct function('month',t.date) ,
       function('year',t.date) , field3 from YourEntity t", Object[].class);
  List<Object[]> results = query.getResultList();
  for (Object[] result : results) {
      System.out.println("month: " + result[0] + ", year: " + result[1]
      + ", field3:"+  result[2]);
  }

It is not the most beautiful way to retrieve the data but if it matches to your need, you don't need to do more.

Should I create a custom class that contains the three field?

it's practical to do it if this custom class is reused elsewhere. Otherwise, it looks like more a overhead.


After two years of struggling with eyeglasses digging into my nose, I'm trying contacts again. The first thing I noticed: my feet look two sizes bigger. What's up with that? I gained one vanity to lose another.
I'm not sure which is more accurate…do my eyeglasses flatter me into thinking my size 9's are daintier than they are, or do my contact lenses give me the cold hard truth: I must have Goliath DNA to have feet this big. At least they get me where I need to go.
Have politics infiltrated the vision industry? Because my eye-wear predicament is a lot like watching the media binge over the Presidential candidates right now. Ben Carson is good. Ben Carson is bad. He looks like THIS from the front row at the debates, but like this judging from that last clip on the evening news.
Hilary's charming her way into the Left's hearts again.
And according to the media lens, Trump is one controversial comment away from the comics.
How many people would vote for King David if he was alive today and running for President? He had an affair with Bathsheba, and killed her husband to get him out of the way. His son, Solomon was one of Israel's greatest kings, yet his son Absalom brought waves of grief upon his family. Here comes the flip side. He's known as the man after God's own heart. He defeated Goliath as a youth—he stayed faithful to God when, for years, Saul hunted him like an animal. He led his people to victory after victory.
An opthamologist might consider David's life an astigmatism—too unbalanced to lead us down the right path.
