Welcome to the Working for Adderbury Community Site
We are a group of villagers who are working with Adderbury Parish Council to improve the community and sports facilities in our village. Our two main areas to focus on will be the existing Lucy Placket field and the new Parish Council owned land for sports pitches and a community facility on the Milton Road.
You can find out more about us, the project we are undertaking and how you can get involved on this website.
Chairman's Report
Since our last AGM in October 2019 it has not been the easiest of years with the Coronavirus pandemic forcing us to cancel or postpone fundraising events. There was also the very sad passing of Keith Mitchell who was a founder member of the WFAC and a huge support to all the trustees with his expert knowledge on all things. The WFAC Trustees will be eternally grateful for everything Keith did for the Milton Road project and we will miss him dreadfully!
During the pandemic there have been many positives.
Back in March a group from the WFAC membership formed and have been delivering medication to the vulnerable in the village. Thank you to everyone involved – a small thing to do but it's made such a difference to those in need.
Further back, the Autumn Ball last November was a huge success and raised a considerable amount of money and we were very pleased to be able to make donations to other charities in the village – Let's Play, Katharine House and Lake House. The Christmas Aunt Agatha afternoon teas in December and Valentine Aunt Agatha in February were both also great successes.
The fundraising team although not able to put on any events at the moment have been busy planning next year and, subject to restrictions being lifted, the ever popular Aunt Agatha afternoon teas will begin again on 11th April and will also take place on 20th June & 19th December. An Italian evening is also planned for 22nd May and a curry and quiz night on 9th October. The Community Day will return on 18th September and the Spring Ball which was due to take place in May has been moved to the 20th November – an 'Autumn Ball' instead. So, lots to look forward to!
Thank you to Jackie, Kate, Pam and all the fundraising team for their continued commitment and hard work and to all the residents who come along and support these events.
Thank you also to everyone who has been supporting us by shopping through Easyfundraising and purchasing a Cherwell Lottery ticket each week – if you are not doing so already and would like to help us by contributing to either the Cherwell Lottery or Easyfundraising, please visit the Working for Adderbury Community website for further details.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Adderbury Parish Council and Adderbury Farmers Market for their grants which have enabled us to update our website and purchase promotional materials which will help us with advertising costs for our fundraising events – thank you to Laura for organising this.
Milton Road Project update.
We were all very pleased when the planning permission for the building, car parking and highways entrance was granted in June of this year. The CDC councillors were unanimous in supporting the project, with just two abstentions and no objections.
Following this permission sub groups have been formed to work on the Business Plan, grant applications and the new Community building. Following the Covid 19 crisis, obtaining grant funding has proved more challenging so the team are currently exploring a phased approach for the build, working with the Parish Council's architect and project manager.
The preparation of the pitch area has progressed well. The grass was sown in September and has now had at least four cuts to encourage the sward to develop. It will take about 18 months until it is ready for playing.
There is still a lot of work to be done and we are always looking for people to come and help us and if you would like to get involved, please contact us by visiting the WFAC website.
Finally, we would like to thank you for joining us this evening and look forward to seeing you all, in person, very soon!
Chairman & Trustees
To provide new Sports and Recreational facilities on land provided for this purpose on the Milton Road, to meet the needs of the local, village and wider community; offering opportunity for all to enjoy a range of sporting, social and recreational activities, in an inclusive, accessible and beneficial environment.
COVId-19 Update from WFAC
WFAC has been involved in getting volunteers during the Covid 19 crisis and would like to send a huge thank you to all those who have volunteered to help with collection and delivery of medication to the elderly and vulnerable in the village.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic all our fundraising events have been postponed until further notice. We will continue to monitor the Government's guidelines and keep you updated.
Please visit the Government website for the most recent information on Coronavirus (COVID-19).

#LufthansaFAIL: Why You Cannot Separate Customer Service and Social Media?
I am usually not a fan of writing how different brands "fail" on social media. Too often these fails are actually quite trivial and more driven by the urge of "social media experts" to nitpick on every thing. However sometimes you just stumble on things which are quite hard to believe that are still happening in 2013.
Because this is all public correspondence from Lufthansa wall (part of the #fail-part), I have not censored any names or such because it is public post.
Good answer. Now Lufthansa would just need to make the final reply and everything would be ok.
After this something totally peculiar happens: Lufthansa Facebook team goes totally quiet. Maybe they counted that the situation will eventually die down. But as you can notice from this post, the discussion did not die down. It actually just got more vivid. People started to share this post in social media and now it has garnered almost 100 likes and 72 comments. The post has not been taken down (not that it would probably help in this situation) or not addressed in any way. If you decide to ignore someone in social media, you should make that decision first and not halfway through.
1. You cannot have the cake and eat it too.
It is impossible to just get the "good" side of the social media such as likes and positive comments. Your Facebook page is also customer service channel whether you have customer service working in your social media team or not. This correspondence shows that the company treats social media as a nice sugarcoating and not really a part of the business. You have to also be accountable for your answers. If you say you are getting back, you really should get back. You do not really need social media expert to tell this. It is just common courtesy and common sense.
All the customers are not equal. You should treat those better who pay more (your best customers) and you should also treat those first who can cause you the biggest damage (damage prevention). This post has been escalating for three weeks and I do not doubt that it will escalate further. How difficult it would just to get back to the guy?
It is of course respectable to have open unsolicited discussion on your Facebook page. In this case, the situation just looks bad and shows more that you do not care about customers. Also although the discussion does not show in your FB front-page it does not mean that it is forgotten. Currently the whole discussion sends the message that anyone in the organization does not really care.
Airline industry is one of the most complained industries in the world and I have had my fair share of challenges with them. Nothing new under the sun in many ways you could say. This situation could have been saved easily on many occasions during this discussion (not to mention the thing has been boiling for three months before). The situation can of course be saved, but it is much harder now.
I am looking forward to how Lufthansa will respond. At least they have been pondering for the right comment for 1,5 weeks.
If you are working in advertising it has been hard to avoid the new Chipotle ad. All the praises have been duly deserved; it is really great piece of work. Seldom you get such a wide variety of feelings by watching an advertisement. Which is really refreshing. Ad made me want to cry and also to have a burrito to wipe those tears with. There is a wide range of human emotions that trigger people to buy (both positive & negative). Unfortunately, too few advertisers are venturing outside the "smiling happy people"-convention and end results are boring at best and disastrous at worst.
Insight: Often to define yourself, it is more important to state what you are not than what you are. The majority of the ad is about everything that Chipotle does not represent (or at least say they do not represent).
Like Simon Veksner pointed out in his blog, it is dramatizing the negative. Which is the only proper way for challenger brand to behave. Old habits die hard, so you need to aggressively point the problems in incumbent. Saying happily that you are alternative, is not sufficient. If you are challenger brand, you have to challenge.
Scarecrow campaign is a great example of integrated approach. The video is just the starting point to play Scarecrow-game and the loop is nicely closed when you win the burritos after you finished all the stages.

The part where Thanos warps into the crypts of Winterfell was a bit over the top.
Replied to the thread Moving single model/steal movement inches.
Moving single models later in the game would be a pain, just to "fix" them gaining about 1" when deployed. Deploying side ways is also a poor move sometimes, as it can get you stuck in by vanguarding units or scouts.

Get the Strider banner on your main unit if you fear Break the Spirit Mr3 is also very good against debuffs. Overall, I would probably rate Divination as the strongest lore.

Law Web: Whether daughters born out of void marriage are entitled to inherit property of their father?
Whether daughters born out of void marriage are entitled to inherit property of their father?
It is an admitted position that respondents 2 and 3 were born out of the wedlock of late Suryanarayana and Pydamma during the subsistence of the marriage between Suryanarayana and Chilakamma. Even assuming, the marriage between late Suryanarayana and Pydamma cannot be treated as a valid marriage because of the subsistence of the marriage between late Suryanarayana and Chilakamma, considering the fact that respondents 2 and 3 were born out of the marriage between Suryanarayana and Pydamma, they would be entitled to succeed to the properties on the death of Suryanarayana and Chilakamma. In this connection, we may consider certain provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (in short 'the Act').
Section 5 of the Act clearly states the grounds when the marriage cannot be solemnized. Clause (i) of Section 5 is one such condition, which clearly provides that no marriage can be performed if there is a living spouse. Therefore, in view of Section 5, the marriage between Suryanarayana and Pydamma cannot be considered to be legal as at the time of such marriage, Chilakamma was very much alive. Section 11 of the Act, which deals with a void marriage says that any marriage solemnized after the commencement of this Act shall be null and void if it contravenes any of the conditions specified in Clause (i), (iv) and (v) of Section 5 of the Act. Therefore, in view of Sections 5 and 11 of the Act, it must be held that the marriage between Suryanarayana and Pydamma is a void marriage as the said marriage was admittedly solemnized after the commencement of the Act. Therefore, considering that the marriage between Suryanarayana and Pydamma was a void marriage, the question that would now arise is whether their daughters, namely, respondents 2 and 3 were entitled to inherit the properties in question, with the first wife, Chilakamma, on the death of Suryanarayana. In this connection, we may refer to Section 16 of the Act. Section 16 of the Act deals with legitimacy of children of void and voidable marriages. Sub-section (1) of Section 16 of the Act clearly says that notwithstanding that the marriage is null and void under Section 11, any child of such marriage who would have been legitimate if the marriage had been valid, shall be legitimate. (Emphasis supplied) Therefore, in view of Section 16, it is clear that the daughters, namely, respondents 2 and 3 inherited the properties in question, along with Chilakamma, on Suryanarayana's death. Accordingly, the High Court was justified in holding that on the death of Suryanarayana, the properties in question were inherited by his daughters, namely, respondents 2 and 3, along with Chilakamma and therefore were entitled to evict the appellants from the properties in question along with Pydamma. Accordingly, the findings of the High Court on the question whether respondents 2 and 3 were entitled to inherit the properties in question of late Suryanarayana jointly with Chilakkama cannot be interfered with.


Mirdif City Centre, the latest development from leading shopping centre pioneer Majid Al Futtaim Properties, has opened in Dubai today, with over 350 stores open for business, making it one of the most impressive openings of a mall ever in this region.
Located on the corner of Tripoli Street and Emirates Road, the new AED 3 Billion, 196,000 square metre mall, was completed in just over two years and has been delivered on time, as promised.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, a seven-day extravaganza of entertainment is scheduled to welcome the first week's visitors to the mall, including daily shows with the world-renowned Bungee aerial acrobatic troupe – Team Extreme, the unveiling of a giant community eco-art project, and a host of festival parades and performances.
"Mirdif City Centre is in line with the company's strategy to develop large destination malls in the three most important trade areas of Dubai – Deira City Centre in the heart of Dubai, Mall of the Emirates in the Southern New Dubai area and now Mirdif City Centre to service North Dubai and the Northern Emirates. All three malls can now provide UAE residents and visitors with the fullest range of retailing, leisure and lifestyle choices found in any great city in the world," added Walichnowski.
The importance of Mirdif City Centre cannot be underestimated, having created over 16,000 jobs in the development and construction process and 5,500 permanent jobs within the mall complex going forward. It will serve a population of 450,000 within a 10km radius, as well as communities across the rest of Dubai and other emirates.
The retail mix has been carefully selected to bring customers both popular well-known brands, as well as never-seen-before stores in the region, across retail categories such as fashion, home, services, electronics, entertainment and leisure and as well as essential convenience shopping.
Making their first appearance in the UAE will be the eagerly awaited US brand Pottery Barn, legendary UK fashion label Miss Selfridge, celebrated Australian home-furnishing brand Freedom Furniture, Decathlon, and Office Depot to name a few.
Despite its size, the design of the new mall creates an intimate, warm and welcoming environment. Water features and palms give the impression of an indoor 'oasis' that is complemented with plentiful natural light and sophisticated interiors. The mall's simple but clear layout also provides a logical and understandable flow for visitors that makes navigating Mirdif City Centre easy and convenient.
One of Mirdif City Centre's distinct points of difference is its approach to sustainability and the environment. Mirdif City Centre will be the first shopping centre in the Middle East to achieve a Gold Rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the sustainability rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Access to the mall is made easy with a sophisticated network of roads, complete with three dedicated bridges allowing convenient access from all directions. While the 7,000 free car parking spaces and twelve entry and exit points means parking is abundant, quick and easy.
Mirdif City Centre aims to become a hub for the greater community of Dubai and is designed to provide a place for people to relax and socialise, as well as enjoy the great shopping and leisure offer.
"The new mall is home to an impressive line-up of over 75 restaurants and cafes with famous names like Tiffinbites and P.F.Chang's making their debut appearance in the country, as well as regional favourites such as Butcher Shop and Grill, Mango Tree Bistro and Pinkberry," said Mr. Yousif Al Ali, Vice President of Mirdif City Centre.
"The entire Mirdif City Centre team is looking forward to welcoming its first customers to this impressive new destination and we are sure they will feel completely at home from day one," Al Ali adds.
Team Extreme – A unique group of high-tension bungee performers from Germany, who will thrill audiences as they fly around the Mirdif City Centre Galleria at speeds of up to 65km per hour. Team Extreme is the only aerial bungee act in the world and this will be the acrobatic athletes first ever time to Dubai.
Saltimbanco – The ever-popular parade troupe from Italy, who will enchant guests with its performance skills and dazzling costumes.
Community Art Project – Witness the unveiling of an extraordinary community mural project that over 500 students from across Dubai spent more than 3,000 hours painting in recent weeks. The giant 36 x 7 metre educational piece of art is based around eco-systems and endangered animals and will be exhibited in Mirdif City Centre Galleria for two weeks following the launch.
Community Dance Performance – A selection of students involved in the community art project will also enthral guests with a dance performance, based on the environmental themes of the mural.
Giant Video Projection Spheres – These six metre wide state-of-the-art video projection spheres, suspended in the galleria, will screen video footage on the evolution of the community mural project.
Mirdif City Centre Spend and Win March 24th until April 15th – In the weeks following the launch Mirdif City Centre customers could also be in for an additional temptation, with the chance to win any of three Audi cars simply by spending AED 300 or more and entering the draw.
Dubai Fashion Weekend – Hosted at Mirdif City Centre from the 16th-17th April, this event will showcase the stunning line-up of fashion available at the new mall.

Tacos Al Vapor: What Makes This Delectable Street Food Unique
Guajillo studio/Shutterstock
By Nikita Ephanov/Sept. 21, 2022 3:15 pm EST
Mexico's rich gastronomy encompasses a variety of influences across centuries of culinary tradition. Take tortillas — one of the most fundamental components of Mesoamerican cuisine. According to Chapala, the thin bread dates back to 10,000 BCE, right around the domestication of corn. Thousands of years later, Lebanese immigrants arrived and introduced a method of cooking meats on a vertical spit. In combining the two culinary techniques, tacos al pastor were born.
Through centuries of cultural exchange, the nation's cuisine boasts an expansive diversity. There's no better place to sample it all than in bustling Mexico City. In the nation's capital, Enrique Olvera's fine-dining sushi-inspired taco omakase (via New York Times) coexists with varieties of street food from all around Mexico. A specific kind, tacos al vapor, meanders its way through the streets in baskets attached to bicycles. Spotted by the accompanying containers of vibrant green salsa, these tacos are prepared with a distinct process, per Taste Atlas. Let's dive into what makes them so unique.
What are tacos al vapor?

Rather than griddled or fried like most tacos, taco al vapor involve steamed tortillas stuffed with precooked fillings. Layered in a basket above water, pre-frying the tortilla keeps the rows of tacos from falling apart, explains MasterClass. Alternatively called tacos de canasta, or tacos of the basket, these snacks are filled with refried beans, chicharrón, shredded chicken, and more, notes Eat Your World.
The dish's preparation is a fine balance of keeping the tacos delectably moist but not mushy. Fillings are cooked to a drier consistency so that the tacos keep well in the steamer. Chili oil is often added for flavor, and plenty of salsa is served alongside for extra moisture and taste, per Serious Eats.
As described by Matador Network, Mexico City vendors line baskets with blue plastic, brown paper, and cloth for insulation. The dish is typically consumed in the morning before the vendors sell out of their daily supply.
History of tacos al vapor

The origins of tacos al vapor have been historically attributed to San Vicente Xiloxochitla, a village a few hours away in the Tlaxcala state. Over the 20th century, workers from all around Mexico came to the capital, bringing taco-making techniques with them. Many journeyed via buses and bicycles, carrying pre-prepped bites to sell in the city before returning to their village. In combination with the crafts of Santa Apolonia Teacalco, a nearby basket weaving town, the San Vicente village likely created the portable style in such a capital commute. However, it's difficult to know the taco's exact origins — it's a food defined by movement, explains Saveur.
The hearty fare also carries working-class associations, often interlinked with Guanajuato and Hidalgo mining regions. The cloth-wrapped food would keep hot for hours, suitable for long days in the mine. Only after the Mexican Revolution steamed tacos reached ubiquity with all social classes, reports Yucatan Times.
How to prepare tacos al vapor
Cooking tacos al vapor involves some finesse due to the delicate textures of the dish. There's a fine line between a mushy, fallen-apart taco and renditions that are too dry. For L.A. Taco, father-son chefs Mota and Abraham of Tortas Ahogadas El Rey note that the filling needs a smooth consistency. Preparing their potato stuffing, they boil and loosely mash the spuds, adding enough oil until achieving a spreadable texture. They then spoon the mixture onto a tortilla, which is folded in half. The tacos must be fitted snugly into the steaming vessel, with level distribution to ensure consistency.
Most home cooks use a tied-up plastic bag wrapped in warm towels to steam. At the beginning of the process, chili oil is drizzled in to add more flavor. When densely packed and well insulated, tacos al vapor stay warm for five to six hours (via Spruce Eats). Excellent for parties and large groups, these tacos are easy to prep in large quantities. And you don't have to limit it to one flavor per basket — experiment with both vegetarian and meat-filled varieties.

Yesterday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem as a humble king, riding on a donkey. The crowds had great expectations of their saviour king, but it had not occurred to them what his plan was.
"Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. 'Sir,' they said, 'we would like to see Jesus.' Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
Jesus replied, 'The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me.
Then a voice came from heaven, 'I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.' The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.
Jesus said, 'This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.' He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.
When men speak of glory, they have in mind the adulation of crowds, great wealth, phenomenal power and unstoppable conquest. Jesus had a very different understanding of glory: to be ridiculed and reviled, having the little he possessed taken from Him, nailed to a cross of wood, and agonisingly executed.
In this way, the world would see that this man was communicating the very heart of God – indeed was God – and was better than all the rest of us. He defined goodness.
To this message from heaven we can have two reactions: to regard it as the example of the opposite of what we want, and reject the very idea of sacrificial love demonstrated by God in Christ, who died for us, to bring us to God, or to embrace the One who loved us sacrificially and follow His example to others.
To do the first will inevitably lead us into conflict with others who also have rejected the way of love. We will also hate those who pursue love, rejecting it as weakness and rejected them as weak.
Do the second and we will inevitably find ourselves being despised and hated by those who have rejected Christ and His message, but we will also know the love of God and the love of one another and prove ourselves to be followers of Christ.
There are always those who aspire or claim to live lives of sacrificial love, but instead by their actions show they regard the religion of Christ to be about what He can do for me, not what I can do for Him. We want our miracles, we want our families to be happy and fulfilled, we want to have enough, all the time.
Nevertheless, Jesus calls us to follow Him, and will purify His church until that is its way and its only way.
The King of Creation is revealing Himself to His Creation, and He is not what we imagined. No – He is far better. God bless you.

Global Competitiveness
Innovation & STEM Fields
Japanese Professor Creates Breakthrough Technology in U.S. and Changes Future of Fuel
Shota Atsumi, a chemical and biomolecular engineer, came to the United States in 2002 after being frustrated by the hierarchical academic culture in his native Japan. "It's very difficult there for a young scientist to have any real independence," Atsumi says, "and it's not an easy place to take risks." Arriving at the University of California-Los Angeles as a postdoctoral researcher in 2006, Atsumi and his mentor, Professor James C. Liao, began exploring entirely new ways to generate environmentally friendly fuel. Atsumi remembers the tough time they had their first year in the laboratory. "I was at that lab working even on Thanksgiving Day," Atsumi says, "because we so very much wanted a good result!"
After a year of exhibiting that sort of work ethic – and suffering many failed experiments – Atsumi and Liao developed a way to make a petroleum replacement called isobutanol from E. coli bacteria. That fuel can serve as a substitute for petroleum, or be added to traditional fuels to cut down on harmful carbon emissions. Their invention has since been licensed to the Colorado renewable energy startup Gevo, which plans to open the world's first commercial-grade isobutanol plant later this year. The Minnesota-based facility will employ 28 people; it already has a purchase order from the U.S. Air Force and an agreement to potentially provide renewable bottles to The Coca-Cola Company. Atsumi himself has since become a professor at University of California-Davis, a position that allowed him to obtain his green card with the school's help and sponsorship of his application.
In a sign of the prevalence and importance of foreign-born scientists to the U.S. culture of innovation, the company that bought Atsumi's technology has its own ties to immigrants in academia. One of Gevo's original founders was Peter Meinhold, a German immigrant who helped discover a cost-effective way to make renewable fuels while earning his PhD at Caltech. Officials at that university cite his startup as one of their great success stories of the last ten years. Atsumi's team at UC Davis is currently part of the U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E project, which is working to engineer a Methane-to-Acetate pathway for producing liquid biofuels.

Ageism is real. There is an insidious and unfounded bias in our culture which claims that older people are inferior in a number of ways. These ways include physical appearance, mental sharpness, and health. It is falsely assumed that older people are self-absorbed and less interested than younger people in others and the outside world in general.
Alas there are other toxic "isms" that plague our society. There is sexism which claims that men are superior to women. Derogatory words for women are generally more shaming than corresponding words for men. It's "history", not "herstory". This bias hurts all of us. It's more and more apparent that religious and secular institutions that exclude women from leadership and full participation enable the worst forms of toxic masculinity.
A popular bias of late is directed at LGBT people. They are being scapegoated by being falsely, ridiculously, accused of being responsible for anything from divorce rates to sexual abuse scandals, to natural disasters. Scapegoating has tragically been done to Jews for time immemorial, also always based on lies and distortions. I happen to be straight. Even if I desperately wanted to be gay, I couldn't make myself so. The same goes for gay people. They can't make themselves straight, even though it's so much easier to live as a straight person in this culture. Throughout recorded history, gay people make up a tiny and consistent fraction of the human community. Honestly, aren't there a lot more important things to worry about?
For our country, the most pervasive "ism" has always been racism. It has been said that we are the only nation that has been founded upon the genocide of one race (Native Americans) and the enslavement and torture of another (African Americans). This is our original sin as a nation. As a white person in this country, I have found it is impossible to completely escape racist assumptions. Many of them are now underground, as we no longer spout racist language with impunity. Rev. William Sloane Coffin wrote "The best I can do is to live 'in recovery' from my racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.".
Lastly, if we wish to follow Coffin's example, we cannot approach freeing ourselves from biases as we would a buffet table. It is inconsistent and hypocritical to claim equality for Seniors, or women, or a particular religion, but not for gay people or disabled people. If we believe there is such thing as the human family, or believe God didn't create and love just certain people and not others, then we cannot pick and choose who warrants our respect and care.


On December 5th, the Association of Recovery Schools (ARS) hosted their First Annual Recovery Research Awards Banquet. This event honored a number of champions within the recovery and addiction research field. Award recipients included the renowned William ("Bill") White; Dr. Nora D. Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA); Dr. John Kelly of Harvard Medical School; Dr. Sigurd Zielke, co-founder of Hope Academy Recovery High School; Dr. Andy Finch, co-founder of ARS; Dr. Paul Moberg, acclaimed evaluation researcher; Andrew Burki, Life of Purpose, founder and CEO.
It is indeed vital for events like this to be held. Not only does it recognize the tireless work being done by so many in the field; it also sheds light on the overall progress that has been made in addressing youth substance use disorder over the past couple of decades.
Through events like ARS's banquet and the 60 Minutes segment, the movement is gaining more positive momentum every day.

Q: Pass function as static class for fast numerics in Java I want to make some numerical computations in java, and to make operation really modular, I want pass functions as parameters of other functions. I was searching and normally it is done in java using class which warp the function. I realy don't need instantiate these classes (there are no data inside) and I want to make it as fast as possible (somewhere was writen that final static methods are inlined by JIT compiler). So I made something like this
public static class Function2 {
  public static float eval(float a, float b){ return Float.NaN; }
}

public static class FAdd extends Function2 {
  public static float eval(float a, float b){ return a+b; }
}

public static class Fmult extends Function2 {
  public static float eval(float a, float b){ return a*b; }
}

void arrayOp( float [] a, float [] b, float [] out, Function2 func ){
  for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++){     out[i] = func.eval( a[i], b[i] );   }
}

float [] a,b, out;

void setup(){
  println( FAdd.eval(10,20) );
  arrayOp( a,b, out, FAdd );
}

However it prints error:  "Cannot find anything like FAdd" when I try to pass it to arrayOp,  even though println( FAdd.eval(10,20) ) works fine. So it seem that for some reason it is just impossible to pass static class as a prameter.
What you recommand to solve such task? I actualy want FAdd to be something like macro, nad arrayOp be polymorf (behave depending of which macro I pass in). But ideal would be if it would be resolved in compile time (not in runtime) to improve numerical speed. The compiled result should be the same as if I would write
void arrayAdd( float [] a, float [] b, float [] out ){
  for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++){     out[i] = a[i]  + b[i];    }
}
void arrayMult( float [] a, float [] b, float [] out ){
  for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++){     out[i] = a[i] * b[i];   }
}

A: Have you considered using enums?
private void test() {
  test(3.0f, 4.0f, F.Add);
  test(3.0f, 4.0f, F.Sub);
  test(3.0f, 4.0f, F.Mul);
  test(3.0f, 4.0f, F.Div);
  float[] a = {1f, 2f, 3f, 4f, 5f};
  float[] b = {4f, 9f, 16f, 25f, 36f};
  test(a, b, F.Add);
  test(a, b, F.Sub);
  test(a, b, F.Mul);
  test(a, b, F.Div);
}

private void test(float[] a, float[] b, F f) {
  System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a) + " " + f + " " + Arrays.toString(b) + " = " + Arrays.toString(f.f(a, b, f)));
}

private void test(float a, float b, F f) {
  System.out.println(a + " " + f + " " + b + " = " + f.f(a, b));
}

public enum F {
  Add {
    @Override
    public float f(float x, float y) {
      return x + y;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
      return "+";
    }
  },
  Sub {
    @Override
    public float f(float x, float y) {
      return x - y;
    }

A: What you want to achieve is actually the functionality of anonymous function or lambda expression, which is in the JSR 335 (Lambda Expressions for the Java Programming Language) and will be available in Java 8. Currently, only anonymous inner class is close to that. This question( What's the nearest substitute for a function pointer in Java? ) in stackoverflow may help you.

A: You're making some massive assumptions that the fastest code will be only if its a final static method. You are most likely wrong, and should be focusing on architecting it properly and testing for performance.
One method is using enemy's, as stated above. I'd say what yo should do is have an interface with the eval function. You can then pass in an implementation of the interface.
The Java VM will realize optimize that code appropriately.

A: Static methods can not be overridden, but you can do it with an anonymous class:
public static class Function2 {
    public float eval(float a, float b){ return Float.NaN; }
}

arrayOp(a, b, out, new Function2() {
    public float eval(float a, float b){
        return FAdd.eval(a, b);
    }});

Note that the method declaration in of eval() in Function2 is not static.

A: You are actually mixing up instances and classes in your implementation. When you have a method declared like this:
void arrayOp( float [] a, float [] b, float [] out, Function2 func ){
   for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++){     out[i] = func.eval( a[i], b[i] );   }
}

You are basically saying that you expect an instance of class Function2, and not really a class parameter. Also this statement is syntactically incorrect:
arrayOp( a,b, out, FAdd );

So lets say you want to send the class itself to a method, then your declaration of arrayOp will look something like:
void arrayOp( float [] a, float [] b, float [] out, Class func ){

And when you call this method you will pass in the parameter in this way:
arrayOp( a,b, out, FAdd.class );

But static methods cannot be overridden via inheritance. You need a completely different implementation for achieving your goals. That said @OldCurmudgeon has presented a really nice solution to your problem. Consider using that.

A: I made some tests, and it seems that really, there is no need to try optimize it on modern machines.
Machine 1 - (my older home computer) 32bit WinXP, Intel Pentium 3, (I'm not sure about java version)
For both operations float.mult and float.add the static version is more than 2x faster
static  100000000 [ops]  406.0 [s]  4.06 [ns/op]
dynamic 100000000 [ops]  1188.0 [s]  11.88 [ns/op]

but for float Sqrt the difference is already very small
static  100000000 [ops]  922.0 [s]  9.22 [ns/op]
dynamic 100000000 [ops]  1172.0 [s]  11.719999 [ns/op]

Machine 2 - (my computer at work) - 64bit ubuntu 12.04LTS, Intel Core5, java version "1.6.0_12-ea, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-ea-b02), Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)
The results are much better (for float.add):
static  1000000000 [ops]  1747.0 [s]  1.7470001 [ns/op]
dynamic 1000000000 [ops]  1750.0 [s]  1.75 [ns/op]

So - I think processor or JIT is already clever enought that ther is no need to optimize this function passing anyhow.
NOTE:
 - static mean solution without passing function ( I just inline
   operations manually into the loop),
 - dynamic mean solution when I use passing function as dynamic object instance (not static class). It seem that JIT understand that there are no dynamic data inside the class and so it resolve it in compile time anyway.
so my dynamic solution is just simple :
public class Function2 {
  public float eval(float a, float b){ return Float.NaN; }
}

public class FAdd extends Function2 {
  public float eval(float a, float b){ return a+b; }
}

public class FMult extends Function2 {
  public float eval(float a, float b){ return a*b; }
}

public void arrayOp( float [] a, float [] b, float [] out, Function2 func ){
  for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++){     out[i] = func.eval( a[i], b[i] );   }
}

final int m = 100;
final int n = 10000000;
float t1,t2;
float [] a,b, out;
a = new float[n];   b = new float[n];   out = new float[n];
t1 = millis();
Function2 func = new FMult();
for (int i=0;i<m;i++) arrayOp( a,b, out, func );
t2 = millis();
println( " dynamic " +(n*m)+" [ops]  "+(t2-t1)+" [s]  "+ 1000000*((t2-t1)/(n*m))+" [ns/op] " );

Ukrainian Journalists' Union Demands Release Of Reporter Held In Belarus
Pavlo Sharoyko
The head of Ukraine's National Union of Journalists (NUJU) is demanding the release of a Ukrainian radio correspondent being held in Belarus.
NUJU Chairman Serhiy Tomilenko said on November 17 that UA: Ukrainian Radio correspondent Pavlo Sharoyko was arrested in Minsk on October 25.
"The detention was carried out by the KGB of Belarus," Tomilenko said, adding that Sharoyko is only being allowed representation provided by the Belarusian authorities.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry confirmed Sharoyko's detention and said the ministry's Foreign Policy Department was taking measures to protect the journalist's rights.
Interfax-Ukraine reported that the Belarusian Foreign Ministry would only confirm that Sharoyko was "accredited as a foreign journalist, but we have no [further] information and can't comment."
The journalist's detention was first reported on November 17 by Zurab Alasania, director-general of the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine.
In a tweet, Alasania said the Belarusian Embassy had not responded to requests for information. He wrote that "unofficial information" indicated the journalist is being held on espionage charges, although that could not be confirmed.
The deputy chief editor of the radio station, Svitlana Mialyk, wrote on Facebook that Sharoyko was arrested in Minsk on October 25, citing his wife, Olena Sharoyko.
Olena Sharoyko herself said in a brief comment to UA: Ukrainian Radio that "I can't contact him. I can only write him letters."
Sharoyko added that Belarusian authorities had told her nothing.
Tomilenko said his group is also attempting to contact the Belarusian Embassy in Kyiv and the Ukrainian Embassy in Minsk.
He added that the International Federation of Journalists, the European Federation of Journalists, and the OSCE representative on freedom of the media are being alerted.
Charter97.org quoted Sharoyko's colleagues as saying the journalist was working on stories related to the search for Pavlo Hryb, a Ukrainian citizen who disappeared in Belarus after being arrested and who was later found to have been sent to Russia.
"Journalists are killed and put behind bars in Belarus," said Natalya Radzina, the editor in chief of Charter97.org, a human rights organization.
"They are spuriously accused of extremism, insulting the president, [and] organizing riots," she added.

T20 WC: New Zealand off to a rocky start, Williamson and Guptill back to stands early
New Zealand has a rocky start of their innings as they lost the opening wicket on the third ball with just 4 runs.
Megha Mittal Last Updated : Nov. 10, 2021, 10:06 p.m.
Abu Dhabi: New Zealand has a rocky start of their innings as they lost the opening wicket on the third ball with just 4 runs.
Kiwis skipper could not make a difference as Chris Woakes made him leave the wickets with just 5 runs.
Black Caps have gathered 36 runs in the power play losing 2 wickets against England in the T20 World Cup semi-final. Chris Woakes strikes both the wickets for England with a maiden over against New Zealand.
Kiwis bowlers showed their caliber to restrict the English opponent for just 166 runs taking 4 significant wickets hurting the team throughout.
Moeen Ali shouldered the responsibility of the team to contribute 51 runs in 37 balls. David Malan also made a major contribution to the total, scoring 41 runs with five boundaries.
New Zealand will take on England to revenge their 2019 ODI World Cup defeat in the most iconic international of history. Kiwis had a sigh of relief when English batsman Jos Butler departed early with just 29 runs.
Spinner Ish Sodhi did not take long to send Buttler back on the first ball of his second over. Bairstow had walked to the crease with Jos Buttler as Jason Roy was ruled out of the game due to an injury he suffered against South Africa.
The opening partnership garnered 37 runs before the loss of the wicket after 5.1 overs. Bairstow leaned into a cover drive to play Milne, crunching this flat towards cover, where Williamson dived to the left and forward to take this.

UAE, Israel to focus on increasing mutual investments, says Lapid
Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid. — Wam
Following a year of cooperation in the fields of tech, health, agriculture, food and water security, tourism, defence, and space, ties between the two countries are flourishing.
Michal Michelle Divon
Published: Thu 23 Dec 2021, 11:14 PM
Last updated: Thu 23 Dec 2021, 11:16 PM
Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has shared his thoughts on the growing ties between the UAE and Israel ahead of the new year in an exclusive interview with Khaleej Times.
With bilateral trade exceeding $1 billion, Israel's foremost diplomat touched upon milestones following the Abraham Accords, the great progress in the relations between the two countries, and the mutual ambition to strengthen ties even more in the coming year.
What are the most significant milestones from this past year and what do you see as the next step for UAE-Israel relations?
It's tough to settle on a single most significant milestone from the past year, which was historic in the relationship between our two countries. After all, barely a day goes by without a new agreement being signed, a new cooperation initiative being unveiled, or an historic official visit occurring and bringing our two countries closer together.
My trilateral meeting in Washington with my good friend Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was a truly historic event. And of course, there are the stories and memories of each and every one of the 300,000 Israelis who have visited the UAE in this last year, including those who visited the Israeli pavilion at the Expo in Dubai.
But if I had to identify a personal highlight, I would have to say my visit to Abu Dhabi and Dubai to open our new Embassy. The visit was not just historic for our countries, but it was personally meaningful for me to represent my country on such a momentous occasion.
What are the latest trade figures between the two countries and what industries are driving these numbers?
Total trade between our countries is now over $1 billion. And what's unique about our trade relationship is that it's truly cross-sectoral: it extends from agriculture and water, to environmental technology, to telecommunications, to medical and healthcare equipment, to fintech and more. And I must add that this number on its own doesn't capture the full extent of our economic relationship: for example, not included in that $1 billion figure are the 300,000 Israelis who visited the uae and had an economic impact in the hundreds of millions of dollars as well as Mubadala's acquisition of Delek's share of the Tamar gas field ($1.2 billion). And all this has been achieved in just over a year of relations.
Where do you see the economic opportunities?
We have a strong trade relationship and robust tourism ties too. A major next step in our economic relationship is going to be increasing mutual investments, and that includes creating mechanisms for such investments specifically in small- and medium-sized tech companies.
In addition, Israeli and Emirati are already joining hands in developing new technologies for the benefit of future generations. We also have the potential to advance projects on the regional level, an example being the recent "green energy for water" agreement signed between Israel, the UAE and Jordan, which have not only economic benefits, but help promote regional stability.
When will the free trade agreement be finalised? What details can you share?
We're putting a major emphasis on economic relations and their development as a core part of our overall bilateral relationship. To this end, we've already negotiated and signed our double taxation agreement this year. We're now conducting negotiations towards a free trade agreement, which both Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed and I have committed to conclude by the middle of 2022.
And by the way, the speed with which we're conducting these agreements is a testament to the importance we place on the bilateral and economic relationship between our countries. These agreements routinely take a year and a half or more, and with the hard work of the dedicated, talented professionals at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we're looking to conclude our negotiations in half that amount of time.
What will Israel do to attract Emirati tourists? When will Israel reopen?
As soon as conditions permit for safe travel to and from Israel, we're eagerly waiting to welcome back tourists from around the world including the UAE.
I believe Israel's combination of ancient cities with modern metropolises and beautiful natural sites will make it a favorite destination for tourists from the Emirates. Direct flights by three Israeli airlines as well as Emirati carriers will help turn this vision into a reality. As will our mutual recognition of Covid-19 vaccination certificates, an agreement which we signed in late October.
Tourism is a really important aspect of our relationship because with tourism, comes the strengthening of people-to-people ties.
Are the UAE and Israel aligned when it comes to regional security? Approach to Iran/Iran talks?
As I said in Washington alongside Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed and Secretary of State Blinken, there's a new alliance in the Middle East of moderates who promote life and that is inspiring hope.
This group of moderate states is working together for the benefit of their peoples. And that stands in contrast to the radical axis led by Iran and its proxies, who are working to undermine regional stability in this period of serious global challenges.
We have a close dialogue with the UAE. Our two countries face many of the same challenges, and we are working together to meet them. — michal@khaleejtimes.com

Stock Photography: The 5 Most Common Confusions Solved!
After all the art centric posts of last month, it is time to address a business topic this time.
As the photographer and owner of a stock photography website, I get several confused queries about what is the business of www.lensdepictions.com , particularly from those who are not related to photography industry in any direct or indirect manner.
What does a "Stock Images Website" mean?
The original question that needs to be answered is – what does a stock image mean?
A stock Image or a stock photograph is a photograph shot in advance, later to be licensed for specific creative and/or commercial use.
For their creative assignments' needs publishing and advertising professionals often use stock images instead of getting images shot by a hired photographer… because stock images is a cheaper as well as a faster way to get quality images.
Nowadays, stock images are purchased and delivered online almost all the time.
And, www.lensdepictions.com is a website selling the license of stock images specializing in nature and conceptual stock images.
What does the "lightbox" mean?
Simply put, a light box is a place where you can save or collect the images you are interested in, and later, go back to decide if you want to purchase a license for it.
This way it becomes easier for the customer to take his/her own time and review the images conveniently.
What does it mean to "License an image" and can anyone buy the "copyrights of the image"?
At www.lensdepictions.com I do not "sell" my images, because as the creator of the images, legally, I always retain the ownership and the copyrights of the images.
Instead, I "license" the rights to the buyer for use of the image. Licensing is similar to leasing. The ownership of the image does not change and a licensing fee is paid for the rights to use the images based on the licensing model and the rights the customer is purchasing.
It is highly unlikely that someone will buy the copyrights of an image; in fact, it is next to impossible. Any image cannot actually be "sold" unless the photographer legally transfers ownership of his/her copyright to the buyer. It is very rare that a customer will choose to purchase the copyright of the image outright, because the fee is extremely high. Also it is the photographer's prerogative to decline the copyright buy-out.
What is a "Royalty-free license" of an image?
Royalty-free license is based on the image size or dimensions, and pricing is available right when you select an image to buy. Royalty-free means you don't have to pay any additional royalties for successive uses of the image– it's an unlimited-use license.
Buying Royalty-free license of an image is always cheaper than its Rights-managed counter-part but it does not provide the exclusivity.
Royalty-free images can be used by the customer for an unlimited time frame. This type of licensing is good for customers with small projects and budgets, and customers who aren't concerned about who others are using the same image.
What is a "Rights-managed license" of an image?
Rights-managed image licensing is based on usage, and pricing is calculated once you provide usage specifications. Generally, Rights-managed images are much higher quality, in terms of size as well as the resolution, and consequently provide high production value. Some rights-managed images can be licensed with exclusive rights also on negotiable terms.
Rights-managed images need to be re-licensed for any new use or for extending the region of use, distribution or time-duration. This type of licensing works well for customers who want their control over the use of the image.

Spent 19 hrs at Khajuraho's Western group of monuments with only about 30 min break in total – we (with Keku, Rashmi, and Vijayendra) could cover two temples (Kandariya Mahadev Temple (KMT), Lakshman Temple) thoroughly. The place is beautiful and helps understand the importance given to war and the use of various instruments to display power – god, army, and women being some of them. The graceful display of human anatomy, with a good deal of reality, was a striking factor in all sculptural work. A lot of KMT's sculptural work in the lower friezes lack technical respect in making. Although the Lakshmana temple is not as grand as the KMT, the detail in it and the work order is much better. The design of the temples is repetitive and additive. Light plays beautifully with the angles on the Southern side of the temples. Poor restoration work spoiled some places of the KMT. The nest of an Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus) on the WSW side of the Sikhara is beautiful. If you are going to visit the temple any time soon, don't miss the afternoon sunbath of the vulture on the pinnacle of the vimana of the KMT. I will probably visit Khajuraho once again this April or next Jan to cover few more temples. Do read the temple architecture from good books like Percy Brown to understand what the architect wants to show you. Once you decipher and understand the temple, the whole work comes alive and moves in front of your eyes – amazing experience. Caution: The guides are absolute frauds. Haven't found a single one of them who understood the history, mythology, or the art at Khajuraho.

DONALD Trump's religious beliefs have been a source of mystery and speculation for some time.
What religion is Donald Trump?
Donald Trump says he is Christian. More specifically he is Presbyterian, which is a form of Protestantism which traces its roots back to Scotland.
The US president inherited his religion from his British mum, who was born on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides before moving to New York in 1930 at the age of 18.
His father's ancestors were Lutheran – another form of Protestantism originating in Germany.
His family attended First Presbyterian Church in Queens, New York, before joining Manhattan's Marble Collegiate Church in the 1970s.
But Trump did not often attend apart from major occasions like weddings and funerals, according to US Catholic.
The president talked about his religious beliefs during his 2016 presidential campaign, saying his own book The Art of the Deal was his "second favourite book" after the Bible.
But some critics have suggested he is not really a practising Christian and was simply talking up his religious credentials to appeal to the many US Christian voters.
They have pointed to his vague answers when quizzed on religious matters in more detail.
Stories about him nearly putting cash in a Church communion plate, and referring to the holy wine and bread at Church as "my little wine" and "my little cracker" are also often cited.
Why are people asking if the US president is Jewish?
People have been asking if Donald Trump is Jewish for a number of reasons.
Among them is the US president's strong pro-Israel stance, especially compared to his predecessor Barack Obama.
Israel was one of his first international visits after coming into office, with only Saudi Arabia coming before.
He is still yet to visit the UK.
Most recently, Trump defied convention and advice from America's global allies to officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
As the embassy opened on May 14, Trump declared it a "great day for Israel" as his daughter Ivanka arrived at a plush ceremony to mark the US embassy's controversial move.
The move was a controversial one because the divided city is also claimed by Palestine as its capital, and its status was seen as key to the Middle East peace process.
