John's presentation was with safety in mind & for the average boat, not a special walleye outfitted boat. It is recommended that a boat of at least 14' be considered. He recommended our first attempt at walleye fishing to be in the upper Columbia River near Umatilla/Boardman Oregon. The states of Washington & Oregon have what is called "shared jurisdiction" as far as fishing is concerned. This means you can fish the Columbia river FROM A BOAT in any area that the 2 states share the river as a boundary with a license from either state. You can also launch your boat from either state & bring your catch back to that launch. You however can not fish from the shore of the state that you do not have a license for. You can not fish the tributary rivers of the other state either.
His rod / reel selection would be the same rod as you would steelhead with, 7 1/2 to 8 1/2'. Reel would be a level wind star drag of the Ambassador class. Line of 15# should be about right. Mono is fine, however some may prefer the spectra type lines.
The recommendation was to fish ON THE BOTTOM, in from 20 to 30 feet of water.
Troll downstream using a bottom bouncer wire/sinker unit, sinker weight should be 1 to 3 ounces. Behind this attach a walleye spinner harness or wedding ring unit back anywhere from 18" to 40". Hook a large night crawler onto the front hook with the rear hook embedded into the worm, with the worm trailing straight back. Scent of perch or annis may be applied.
Troll slow, you may have to kick the trolling motor out of gear or use a bucket to slow you down. Many fishermen use an electric trolling motor. The take down will probably be a simple tug/tug, hang up type. This type of fishing you do not want your rod in the holder, have it in your hands for a faster response. Plus since you want it on the bottom all the time, you will constantly need to be letting it out a few feet or reeling it in to adjust to the bottom contour.
When you get thru with your pass, then turn around & troll upriver. But on the upriver troll, change the lure to a crankbait plug. This will be in the 5/8 ounce size and about anything in the shad configuration seems to work. The takedown on this will be more aggressive that the downstream worm.
The average size of fish here will be about 3#, however there have been walleyes caught here in the 16# class.
The minimum size is 18", with limit of 6 fish, with no more that 2 over 24".
His estimation of the tablefare of walleye would be about like a halibut.
It is recommended that you take at least a couple coolers for ice to keep your bait, fish, and fresh watermellon that is grown in the area.
There are excellent launch, parks, RV camping in the area, with motels also.
There are walleye all the way downstream to the Longview area, with a goodly concentration near the Hiway 205 bridge. However the river here can get effected by the weather more than his upstream suggestion. Plus downriver you will be into more recreational & commercial boat traffic, and a longer way to go to get back to the launch if weather gets bad.

Lada, the Slavic goddess of spring, was worshipped at the end of winter. She is similar to the Norse Freyja and the Greek Aphrodite, but some modern scholars think she was an invention of anti-pagan clerics in the 15th century.
Key Takeaways: Lada
Alternate Names: Lelja, Ladona
Equivalent: Freyja (Norse), Aphrodite (Greek), Venus (Roman)
Epithets: Goddess of Spring, or Goddess of the End of Winter
Culture/Country: Pre-Christian Slavic (not all scholars agree)
Primary Sources: Medieval and later anti-pagan writings
Realms and Powers: Spring, fertility, love and desire, harvests, women, children
Family: Husband/twin brother Lado
Lada in Slavic Mythology
In Slavic mythology, Lada is the counterpart of the Scandinavian goddess Freyja and the Greek Aphrodite, the goddess of spring (and the end of winter) and of human desire and eroticism. She is paired with Lado, her twin brother, and said to be a mother goddess to some Slavic groups. Her worship is said to have been transferred to the virgin Mary after the Kievan Rus converted to Christianity.
However, recent scholarship suggests Lada was not a pre-Christian Slavic goddess at all, but rather a construct of anti-pagan clerics in the 15th and 16th centuries, who based their tales on Byzantine, Greek, or Egyptian stories and intended to denigrate cultural aspects of the pagan culture.
Appearance and Reputation
The Slavic goddess Lada, by Russian sculptor Sergey Timofeyevich Konenkov (1874–1971). Wikipedia / Shakko / CC BY-SA 4.0
Lada doesn't appear in pre-Christian texts—but there are very few that survive. In the 15th and 16th century records where she first appears, Lada is the vernal goddess of love and fertility, overseer of the harvests, protector of lovers, couples, marriage and family, women and children. She is illustrated as a voluptuous woman in the prime of life, full-bodied, mature, and a symbol of motherhood.
The word form "Lad" means "harmony, understanding, order" in Czech, and "order, beautiful, cute" in Polish. Lada appears in Russian folk songs and is described as a tall woman with a wave of golden hair wreathed as a crown on her head. She is the embodiment of divine beauty and eternal youth.
18th Century Tale of Lada
Pioneering Russian novelist Michail Čulkov (1743–1792) used Lada in one of his tales, based in part on Slavic mythology. "Slavenskie skazki" ("Tales of Desire and Discontent") includes a story in which the hero Siloslav seeks his beloved Prelepa, who has been abducted by an evil spirit. Siloslav reaches a palace in which he finds Prelesta lying naked in a seashell filled with foam as if she were the goddess of love. Cupids hold a book over her head with the inscription "Wish and it shall be" on it. Prelesta explains that her kingdom is solely occupied by women and so here he may find the unlimited satisfaction of all his sexual desires. Eventually, he arrives at the palace of the goddess Lada herself, who chooses him to be her lover and invites him into her bedroom where she fulfills her own desires and those of the gods.
Siloslav discovers that the reason the kingdom has no men is that Prelesta committed adultery with the evil spirit Vlegon, causing the deaths of all of the men in the kingdom, including her husband Roksolan. Siloslav turns down Prelesta's offer, and instead defeats Vlegon, procuring the resurrection of Roksolan and his men. At last, Siloslav finds his Prelepa and kisses her only to discover she is Vlegon in disguise. Further, he soon finds that the goddess Lada is not herself either, but a hideous old witch who has taken on the appearance of the goddess.
Was There a Slavic Goddess Lada?
In their 2019 book, "Slavic Gods and Heroes," historians Judith Kalik and Alexander Uchitel argue that Lada is one of several "phantom gods," added into the Slavic pantheon by anti-pagan clerics during the medieval and late modern period. These myths were often based on Byzantine prototypes, and the names of Slavic gods appear as translations of the names of Greek or Egyptian gods. Other versions are taken from modern Slavic folklore, which Kalik and Uchitel suggest have no clear signs of origin date.
Kalik and Uchitel argue that the name "Lada" derives from a meaningless refrain "lado, lada" that appears in Slavic folk songs, and was cobbled into a paired set of gods. In 2006, Lithuanian historian Rokas Balsys commented that the question of authenticity of the goddess is unresolved, that although there is no doubt that many investigators have assumed she existed based solely on 15th-21st century sources, there are some rituals in the Baltic states that seem to be adoration of a winter goddess named Lada, during the "ledu dienos" (days of hail and ice): those are the rituals which include the "Lado, Lada" refrain.

Q: How many books does Raju have?
"My friend Raju has more than 1000 books", said Ram.
"Oh no, he has less than 1000 books", said Shyam.
"Well, Raju certainly has at least one book", said Geeta.
If only one of these statements is true, how many books does Raju have?

A: He has either no books or 1000 books, which makes either the second statement or the third statement true. If he had between 1 and 999 (both inclusive) the second and third statements would be true, and if he had strictly more than 1000 the first and third statement would be true.

A: The expressions are:
$$
P_1(x) = (x > 1000) \\
P_2(x) = (x < 1000) \\
P_3(x) = (x \ge 1)
$$
Now we can inspect the cases
$$
P_1(x) \wedge \neg P_2(x) \wedge \neg P_3(x)
= (x > 1000) \wedge (x \ge 1000) \wedge (x < 1) = \text{false} \\
\neg P_1(x) \wedge P_2(x) \wedge \neg P_3(x)
= (x \le 1000) \wedge (x < 1000) \wedge (x < 1) = (x < 1) \\
\neg P_1(x) \wedge \neg P_2(x) \wedge P_3(x)
= (x \le 1000) \wedge (x \ge 1000) \wedge (x \ge 1) = (x = 1000)
$$
The first case leads to an inconsistency, the second to "no books", the third to "1000 books". So the problem seems ill-posed or I made an error. :-)

A: Put:
$P1=$ "R. has more than 1000 books"
$P2=$ "R. has less than 1000 books"
$P3=$ "R. at least 1 book"
Now $P1 \Rightarrow P3 $, so if $P1$ were true, also $P3$ would be true. Therefore $P1$ is false and R. has at most 1000 books.
Suppose that $P2$ is true and $P1,\;P3$ are false: then R. has less than one book, that is he has 0 books.
Suppose $P3$ is true and $P1,\;P2$ are false: then he has exactly 1000 books.
So it can have 0 books or 1000 books.

A: Let $n \in \mathbb N$ be the number of books Raju has. The three statements are
$$P_1 (n) := (n > 1000) \qquad \qquad \qquad P_2 (n) := (n < 1000) \qquad \qquad \qquad P_3 (n) := (n \geq 1)$$
If only one of these statements is true, then
$$(P_1 (n) \land \neg P_2 (n) \land \neg P_3 (n)) \lor (\neg P_1 (n) \land P_2 (n) \land \neg P_3 (n)) \lor (\neg P_1 (n) \land \neg P_2 (n) \land P_3 (n))$$
where

*

*$P_1 (n) \land \neg P_2 (n) \land \neg P_3 (n) \equiv (n > 1000 \land
   n=0) \equiv \text{False}$

*$\neg P_1 (n) \land P_2 (n) \land \neg P_3 (n) \equiv (n < 1000 \land
   n = 0) \equiv (n = 0)$

*$\neg P_1 (n) \land \neg P_2 (n) \land P_3 (n) \equiv (n = 1000 \land
   n \geq 1) \equiv (n=1000)$
Thus, the formula in disjunctive normal form (DNF) above is equivalent to $(n = 0) \lor (n = 1000)$. Raju either has no books or he has $1000$ books. Either a bibliophobe or a bibliophile.

Elk County Community Foundation Announces New Scholarship
September 1, 2010 /in News Post/by
Recently the Elk County Community Foundation, (ECCF) awarded nearly $63,000 in scholarships to area students. Each scholarship is unique to the field of study, eligibility and community it serves. This year the Foundation has a new scholarship from Ridgway Area School District, which they have just turned over to the Foundation to administer. The Josh Launer Memorial Scholarship has been awarded in the past, but the School District decided to transfer the funds to the Foundation because it was the most cost effective way to manage these funds and would produce the most available dollars to the students.
The Josh Launer Memorial Scholarship was established in Josh's memory and is a tribute to his life by his family and friends. Josh was a student at Ridgway Area High School. He enjoyed both the outdoors and anything with motors. Josh faced many challenges while in school, mainly health related, but he found that he could still manage to do, try and work hard in school. He overcame these challenges to reach his graduation in 2005 from Ridgway Area High School. Shortly after graduation, Josh underwent a heart transplant. Unfortunately, after a long battle with his health problems, Josh passed away in the fall of 2005. He is greatly missed by many. This scholarship is awarded each year to a graduating senior from RAHS that has demonstrated an ability to overcome challenges handed to them and wishes to continue their education at the college level. This year's recipient of the Josh Launer Memorial Scholarship is Shane Munson.
In addition to the dollars these students will receive from these scholarship funds, they may receive matching dollars from PHEAA through the PATH (Partners for Access To Higher Education) program. As one of only 35 approved organizations that are PATH partners, the Elk County Community Foundation will submit each student who receives one of the scholarships that they administer to PHEAA for additional matching funding. To be eligible, the student must be enrolled in an approved Pennsylvania College or career school and be PHEAA approved. Last year, students that received ECCF scholarships received nearly $27,500 in additional grants. This is one of the reasons that many donors come to the Foundation to establish their scholarships. This program can potentially double their scholarship award through the PATH program.
The Community Foundation also assists donors who have an interest in starting a scholarship fund, whether as a general purpose or in the memory of a deceased family member or friend. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the foundation for further information on the matter.

With the 2018 PGA Championship complete, the countdown is on until the 2019 Masters.
Woods tied for sixth in the 2018 Open Championship, but the PGA Championship was the first throwback to the old Tiger in years.
Tiger Woods just made 8 birdies in the final round of a major, wearing his trademark red and black. I was there to see it. It really happened. In 2018. Just tremendous theater.
Woods shot six under in the final round to finish second at 14 under, two shots behind Koepka. At one point on the back nine, the 14-time major champion was only one stroke back of the eventual champion.
Assuming he's healthy next spring, Woods should be one of the top contenders at Augusta National Golf Club. Historically, the 42-year-old has raised his game at the Masters, even when health problems started derailing his career. Between 2006 and 2013, Woods finished in the top 10 on all but one occasion.
Granted, Augusta tends to favor big hitters, which may not play in Woods' favor. The strength advantage he once owned over the competition no longer exists, and his driving accuracy remains one of his biggest problems. According to PGATour.com, he hit just 57.14 percent of his fairways at the PGA Championship, tied for 74th.
Luckily for Woods, he has a few months to iron out those issues before he makes the trip to Augusta, Georgia.

Q: FFmpeg concat and then add soundtrack results in a soundtrack that stutters I am trying to create a video composed of clips of images and videos.  For the clips of images, I use ffmpeg to create a video file and then I add a silent audio stream through these two steps:
ffmpeg.exe -loop 1 -i MyImage.png -codec:v libx264 -t 4.0 -profile:v high -preset slow -r 25 -b:v 500k -maxrate 500k -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf scale=1280:720 MyImageMovie.mp4

ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=48000 -i MyImageMovie.mp4 -shortest -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -y MyImageMovieWithSilentAudioStream.mp4

Then I combine my video clips and image clips with
ffmpeg.exe -f concat -i videoList.txt -c copy -y concatVideo.mp4

At this point, the video looks good, any video clips that have audio streams seemed well synced to the video.
Now I add a soundtrack:
ffmpeg.exe -i concatVideo.mp4 -i soundtrack.mp3 -ar 48000 -filter_complex "[1:a]apad [b] ; [0:a][b]amerge=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy -ac 2 -shortest -y FinalVideo.mp4

The problem is that the soundtrack on FinalVideo.mp4 stutters at some (not all) of the concatenation joints.
I suspect it has to do with the audio stream and the video stream of the Image clips not being perfectly aligned.  The aac has .0231s resolution and the video has 0.04s resolution.  When I ffprobe the MyImageMovieWithSilentAudioStream.mp4 the duration is 4.00s but the start is 0.0213.
If my concatenated video has several of these image clips, the error can start to accumulate.
What can I do to keep the video and audio in sync and add a soundtrack that doesn't stutter?
Also, this is a little interesting, I don't hear the stutter when the final video is played on Windows Media Player, but it is there if I play it on VLC or via the html native video element.

A: Try adding the soundtrack in the same step as the concat.
ffmpeg -f concat -i videoList.txt -i soundtrack.mp3 \
-filter_complex "[1:a]apad[b];[0:a][b]amerge=inputs=2[a]" \
-map 0:v -map "[a]"
-c:v copy -c:a aac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -shortest -y FinalVideo.mp4

As an aside, you can also combine the image and silent stream generation,
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i MyImage.png -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=48000 \
-vf scale=1280:720 \
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -preset slow -r 25 -b:v 500k -maxrate 500k -pix_fmt yuv420p \
-c:a aac -strict experimental -t 4 -y MyImageMovieWithSilentAudioStream.mp4

Did you know that socks are the single most requested item by homeless shelters?
They are also the least donated item.
Though it might seem like a minor detail of everyday life for most of us, having a clean pair of socks is life-changing for a homeless person, some of whom walk several miles per day – leaving them with socks that are worn, dirty and damp. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it opens them up to all types of skin infections. When someone is without a permanent home, the luxury of washing or changing socks is simply not a possibility. So, what can be done?
In 2016, Isaac Ash, Founder and President of United Legwear and Apparel Co., challenged his colleagues to donate one million pairs of socks to help the homeless. What started as a friendly challenge has turned into an initiative that truly provides a sense of hope and comfort to the hundreds of thousands of people across the country that are very much in need.
Now in its THIRD year, our One Million Pairs of Socks Campaign has surpassed our goal – we have already collected over four million!
For individuals and groups who would like to support this initiative on social media, please use the hashtag #OneMillionPairs.
On October 19, 2016, United Way NCA held an event Project Homeless Connect, a one-day resource fair. This special event provided on-site medical and dental care, and access to housing, employment and other vital services to people in the D.C. community who are experiencing homelessness. As a participant of Project Homeless Connect, K.I.D.S./ Fashion Delivers donated over 1,000 pairs of socks to help people in need.
On December 2, 2016, Delivering Good partnered with local community partner Jericho Project to participate in the first annual Day of Action to raise awareness and advocate about the critical issue of homelessness facing New York City, while spreading some holiday cheer to fellow New Yorkers in need of support during the season.

Although we here at Wedfest are widely renowned for our ability to turn your average nuptials into a unique event using the careful details we do best, it's our skills as makers, designers, thinkers, and deliverers of high quality accessories that have earned us our reputation as the best in the business when it comes to festival and event style extras.
We thought it would be highly selfish to limit ourselves to the world of weddings, and so we expanded our services to cover festivals and other corporate events that can make use of our skills as festival wristband providers. Wristbands are one of our bestselling products because we always take the time to create interesting designs, choose the most appropriate colour schemes, and a lot of time and effort goes into fine-tuning our wristbands to ensure they're comfortable, functional, but they look great too! We're also brand-intuitive and we can assimilate ourselves with a brand by understanding and absorbing the specific palettes and other elements that are synonymous with a particular company or event.
Although we're perfectly comfortable working on large-scale events such as festivals and large parties and events, we're also glad to cater for smaller occasions such as corporate events and parties looking for an injection of themed fun.
I Do Festivals – Hotwire Bootcamp 2018 from Bride & Zoom on Vimeo.
We work alongside party planners daily to help events stand out from the page with our crafty handiwork. Whether it's business event wristbands, corporate event wristbands, or simply birthday party wristbands for a big birthday bash, we're on hand to make it extra special.
If you're in the business of drumming up attention for your event, have you considered the impact a promotional wristband may have? They make for a high-class, tactile way to impress potential guests, and they have the power to unify an event using a common theme. For larger festivals they're a must-have addition to the bundle, offering a means of identification and a distinction between different groups, and they also offer a free marketing opportunity – we have found that our festival wristbands are constantly being shared on social media and spreading the word about the events they represent. When X-Factor Winner and former Coronation Street Star Shayne Ward released his last album we made these promotional wristbands for record company the album launch.
For more information about custom event wristbands, our process and our fantastic end results, get in touch today! We also extend our services to cover stationery items and other extras to create a tailored package perfect for any occasion, all in line with our ethos of providing beautiful, high quality, personalised accessories.

Shadowgate on PC
Using the same graphical interface as Deja Vu, Shadowgate is an adventure game set in a fantasy world. Players take the part of an adventurer sent to the ancient keep of Shadowgate on a quest to find a mystic artifact known as the Staff of Ages and stop the evil Warlock Lord from summoning a horrific demon known as the Behemoth. However, Shadowgate has become infested with the Warlock Lord's demonic minions, not to mention the castle's still functional booby-traps.
Unlike Deja Vu, death comes at the protagonist suddenly, unexpectedly and, most of all, often. Such simple acts as pulling the wrong switch or opening the wrong door can cause the hero to be skewered by a booby-trap or disemboweled by a monster. If the player character's torch burns out (this happens quite regularly) and the player forgets to light a new one, the protagonist will trip in the dark and break his neck.

Galt program brings back memories for interpreter
By Dale Woodard on November 26, 2021.
Blanche Bruisedhead takes great pride in speaking of her ancestors and her tradition.
On Saturday at the Galt Museum, the Blackfoot interpreter who has been with the museum since 2002 was on hand for the Hands-On History interactive program – both for adults and children of all ages – for Reclaiming Landscapes, helping to craft and learn the Niitsitapi words for prominent locations in southern Alberta.
"They asked me to come in and do a presentation," said Bruisedhead. "They have a program they were doing, landscape scenes. I call it paper mache, but it's a different form. It's really pretty. They do landscaping and the major topic was mountains. So I was giving the participants a little bit of a dialogue on the meaning of the mountains for the Blackfoot and the stories I heard growing up on the reserve and some of the stories that were told, just a little bit of information for them to give them a grain size of information. They enjoyed that and had lots of questions."
Having grown up on the Blood Reserve and with the mountains nearby brought back memories for both Bruisedhead and those attending Saturday's session.
"What I said to them about the mountains and growing up having them next door to me, so to speak, brought memories of their own when they were younger. A couple of them did some reminiscing. I think it brought back good things because they seemed happy to share the memories that were brought up by the things I said about the mountains and living in this neck of the woods, which is Blackfoot homeland.
"They grew up here, the memories were brought forward and they talked about them."
Growing up on the Blood Reserve made her "a real prairie girl," said Bruisedhead.
"Dad did a lot of hunting and there were times when I was a very small child, we would move right into our timber reserve south of Waterton Lakes and spend the whole summer there, dad hunting and us living in a tent along the river, a lot of memories."
Bruisedhead said she loves the chance to share her childhood memories with those attending the Hands-On History classes.
That includes stories of family pets which came right from nature.
"I was telling some of the ladies I never went downtown to the pet store to get a pet," said Bruisedhead.
"Dad and I would just walk through the forest, or I would walk through the forest. One day my dad found a three-day old fawn. He was a very profound child of nature, so he could tell the fawn had been abandoned, perhaps because the mother had been killed. We brought it home and I bottle fed it until it was a little over a year (old) and we let it go."
Bobcat kittens were another childhood pet for Bruisedhead.
"I had one when I was about 10 or 11 and I had another when I was about 13 or 14 years old," she said. "Both times we let them grow on their own. We'd tether them and we made sure they were safe. I didn't handle them, we just fed and watered them and made sure their sleep area was cleaned up and things like that. Those were my pets, baby ducks, rabbits. I had my choice of all the different kinds of pets I could get and it was always free from nature.
"I raised these creatures and let them go."
Today, Bruisedhead spends time at the Galt as an interpreter, something she has been doing since 2002.
"The exhibit I work with was at the ancestors' exhibit in 2002 for eight months," she said.
"I don't work Monday to Friday, nine to five. My program is called the Blackfoot Speaking People's Voices. I talk about the history of my people and ways true people lived their lives. I just talk from my being a Blackfoot First Nation female."
Bruisedhead said she always tells people she loves bragging about her ancestors.
"They were so smart and they were so intelligent to be 100 per cent in harmony with nature. There was no Starbucks, Toy R Us or Walmart. It was them and nature and how they found food and fruits. Everything they needed, nature provided. They just had to figure it out."
Bruisedhead said that's the motto for her program.
"They figured it out. That's how intelligent they were. It makes me a very proud First Nations woman to speak about these people because the seven generations I can call a bloodline makes me (feel) 10 feet tall."

Belgium chooses Lockheed's F-35 over Eurofighter: Belga
Philip Blenkinsop, Andrea Shalal
BRUSSELS/BERLIN (Reuters) - Belgium has chosen Lockheed Martin's (LMT.N) F-35 stealth jets over the Eurofighter Typhoon to replace its ageing F-16s, news agency Belga cited government sources as saying, in a move that would cement the U.S.-made war plane's position in Europe.
FILE PHOTO: A Lockheed Martin F-35 aircraft is seen at the ILA Air Show in Berlin, Germany, April 25, 2018. REUTERS/Axel Schmidt/File Photo
The country has been deliberating for months over a multibillion-dollar purchase of 34 new fighter jets, with the latest deadline for a decision being Oct. 29.
A defence ministry spokeswoman declined to comment on the government's decision and did not confirm the end-October deadline.
Lockheed spokeswoman Carolyn Nelson did not confirm that a decision had been made but said the company remains confident that the F-35 is the right choice for Belgium.
"The F-35 offers transformational capability for the Belgian Air Force and, if selected, will align them with a global coalition operating the world's most advanced aircraft."
If confirmed, the decision will make Belgium the 12th country to buy the radar-evading F-35 jets and could help to strengthen the U.S. aerospace company's position in forthcoming tenders in Switzerland, Finland and Germany.
The decision, the likely outcome of which was reported by Reuters last Friday, had been expected in July before the NATO summit in Brussels. The order for jets due for delivery from 2023 is estimated to be worth 3.6 billion euros ($4.14 billion).
Washington has extended the terms of the F-35 bid to Oct. 31 at Brussels' request, U.S. sources said, adding that any further delay would trigger changes in pricing.
Lockheed has said its bid will give Belgian companies significant opportunities to contribute to the global F-35 enterprise.
EUROFIGHTER BLOW
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has previously said he would like to make the decision on the F-16 replacements before a national election in May and Defence Minister Steven Vandeput has said he hoped to settle the matter before he steps down at the end of the year.
A win for Lockheed would mark a setback for Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain, the four countries behind the Eurofighter programme, who had mounted a strong lobbying campaign for the European war plane.
It is also likely to anger France, which did not submit a formal bid for the Rafale fighter built by Dassault Aviation (AVMD.PA) but had offered Belgium close defence cooperation to prevent a further spread of the F-35 in Europe.
Other European buyers of the F-35 include Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Turkey and Norway.
The Eurofighter is flown by Germany, Britain, Austria, Italy and Spain.

It has occurred to me that the regime of Kim Jong-un in North Korea (PRNK) is no longer propped up by China. Instead, Vladimir Putin's Russia appears to be their main supporter. Following the first alleged ICBM test by PRNK, the UN Security Council was preparing to condemn these tests - a condemnation that Russia vetoed. Moscow and Pyongyang seem to maintain warm relationships, and that is something that should worry the world. PRNK is not a signatory to the non-proliferation treaties, or anything to do with reducing the threat from nuclear weapons. We should take it as read that Putin can use Kim Jong-un as a lever for blackmail - anyone who threatens to do anything about PRNK nuclear weapons will face Putin's wrath and his own arsenal of nukes. We can also take it as read, if uncorroborated, that Russia will be involved in the further development of the North Koreans' weapons programme.
If it was the case that Putin was involved in manipulating the US Presidential elections of last November, then we can certainly see why he wanted Donald Trump in. Apart from being a disgrace to his Hebridean heritage, he is a danger to world peace. Whilst governing (or more to the point, feuding) by tweet, the world is going down the pan in a handcart. A weak USA leaves the door open for dangerous leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un.

On Thursday, we went out to run a few errands and do some shopping including a trip to the quilt shop where I found these luscious batik FQs. I'm not sure what I have in mind for these, but there's an idea slowly coming together that will involve these and some others in my stash. They may end up in another series of the New York Beauty blocks.
This black fabric is destined for the Pickled Ladies border. It's really darker than it appears in this photo.
What I was really looking for was this – a white with a faint blue print. This is the "right" side of the fabric, which has a darker print than I wanted.
But when I looked at the "wrong" side, it was exactly what I was looking for.
While there, I saw this and was able to try it out on a scrap at the shop. It's fabulous – the chalk just brushes right off and the lines are very fine.
Today's Baxtertoon is entitled "Storm Watch." We had a thunderstorm yesterday and, just like Lester and Smudge, Baxter doesn't appear to be the least bit perturbed by the claps of thunder.
Baxter often sleeps like this, with one paw over his head. It always makes me laugh.
Yummy batiks! Isn't it funny how sometimes the back of a piece of fabric is more suitable than the front.
That Bohn pencil is my favourite! It works so well, better than any other dark fabric marker I've had. Well worth the price.
Baxter certainly isn't worried by thunder, is he? Your batik fabrics are scrumptious!
your chalk pencil looks a lot like the Fons and Porter one that I have. It doesn't brush off easily though although it has always come out in the wash it I use it on the front side for something I do not worry about it.
Love the batiks, but love-love-love that adorable cat!
Love the fabric. Looking forward to seeing what it all becomes.
Great shopping finds. I have used the Bohn pencil (in several colors) for awhile in my appliqué. It really does stay on until you brush it off. I really should invest in more than one pencil though because I end up wasting chalk when I change out the colors. I think you will like it.
I am patiently waiting to see that fabulous black fabric as a border!
Now if you and Mr. QO weren't so noisy, Baxter may not have to put his paw over his ear!
I bet those new fabrics will make some nice Kites!
Baxter is putting his paws over his ears so he doesn't have to listen to you argueing to yourself about which fabric and which project you should be working on next!
I like that marking chalk too! It's great for darks. For lights I use the blue water disappearing marker but would prefer something not ink based. Never tried the colored chalk but it might be good too.

Buyang () is a Kra language spoken in Guangnan and Funing counties, Yunnan Province, China by the Buyang people. It is important to the reconstruction of the hypothetical macrofamily Austro-Tai as it retains the disyllabic roots characteristic of Austronesian languages. Examples are  "to die",  "eye",  "head", and  "eight". (See Austro-Tai for proposed connections.)

The Buyang language was only discovered in 1990 by Chinese linguist Liang Min. In 1999, a doctoral dissertation and book was published for Buyang. The book has also recently been translated into English.

Many speakers of Buyang are also fluent in Zhuang.

Subdivisions
The Buyang (布央) dialect cluster is spoken by a total of around 2,000 people living mostly in the Gula (谷拉) River valley of southeastern Yunnan Province, China. It is spoken in at least eight villages in Gula Township 谷拉乡, Funing County 富宁县, Wenshan Zhuang–Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China. Buyang is divided into the following groups:

Langjia 郎架 is spoken in Langjia 郎架, Funing County 富宁县, Yunnan along the Guangxi border. It is split by Ethnologue into Langnian Buyang (ISO 639-3: yln) and E'ma Buyang (ISO 639-3: yzg). The name Langjia comes from Zhuang , which means "dried bamboo shoot."
Ecun 峨村 is spoken in Ecun 峨村,  Funing County 富宁县, Yunnan along the Guangxi border.
Yalang 雅郎, also called Yalhong, is spoken in Rongtun 荣屯 (near Longhe Township 龙合乡), Napo County 那坡, Guangxi. It is listed in Ethnologue as Yerong 耶容 (ISO 639-3: yrn).
Paha 巴哈 is considered a separate language by Weera Ostapirat (2000). It is spoken in Yangliancun 央连村 ( in Zhuang), Diyu Township 底于乡 and Anshecun 安舍村, Bada Township 八达乡, which are both in Guangnan County 广南, Yunnan. It is listed in Ethnologue as Baha Buyang (ISO 639-3: yha).

Weera Ostapirat (2000) splits the Buyang language into two branches:

North (Buyang Proper): Ecun and Langjia
South: Yalang (Yalhong)

Ostapirat also classifies Buyang and Qabiao together as Eastern Kra, while Paha is classified as Central Kra. Together, the two branches form one of the two primary Kra branches, namely Central-East Kra. The En language has also been recently included in Eastern Kra (also called Yang–Biao, from [Bu]yang–[Pu]biao).

Li (2010) divides the Buyang language as follows:

Eastern
 The Funing County dialects of Ecun 峨村, Dugan 度干, Zhelong 者龙, Nada 那达, Longna 龙纳, Maguan 马贯, Langjia 郎架, and Nianlang 念郎. The Ecuns are known collectively as Buyang Bazhai 布央八寨, or "the eight Buyang villages." Together, they make up the largest group of Buyang speakers, numbering about 1,000 speakers collectively. Li further splits the Funing County Buyang dialects into 3 groups (listed from north to south):
 Maguan 马贯
 Ecun 峨村, Dugan 度干, Zhelong 者龙, Nada 那达, Longna 龙纳
 Langjia 郎架, Nianlang 念郎
 Central Pohe Township 坡荷乡, Napo County, western Guangxi. More than 300 speakers reside in Rongtun 荣屯村 and Gonghe 共合村 villages, while over 100 live in Shanhe 善合, Yong'an 永安, and Guoba 果巴 villages; also in Renhecun 仁合村. 400 speakers total.

Western (Paha)
 In Guangnan County, Yanglian has around 500 Paha speakers, and Anshe only has about 100 speakers left. 600 speakers total.

Languages closely related to Buyang include Qabiao, En, and also Paha if considered a separate language.

Phonology
The following are the sounds of the Funing dialects:

Consonants

 Seven consonants /m, n, ŋ, p, t, k, ʔ/ can occur as finals.

Vowels

 Vowels /i, u, ɯ/ can occur as finals.

Diachronic evolution of consonants
Pre-Buyang, the stage in the evolution of the language that can be reconstructed from internal evidence, appears to have had a slightly different phonemic inventory than the modern dialects: a voiced stop *ɢ paired with *q, as well as voiced *ɦ alongside *h, and a pair of sibilants *s, *z. In addition, it doesn't appear to have had a series of aspirated consonants, a condition still found in the Ecun dialect. Thus reconstructed pre-Buyang is more similar in its phonemic inventory to reconstructed Proto-Austronesian than is any modern dialect of Buyang.

Chinooks make historic 3,400-mile journey to Alaska
By Randy Tisor, ASA(ALT)May 22, 2012
1 / 1 Show Caption + Hide Caption – A new CH-47F Chinook helicopter flies high above the Alcan highway in Canada, during a ferry trip from the southern U.S. to the interior of Alaska. A river can also be seen far below, winding its way through the Northern Rocky Mountains. (Photo Credit: Randy Tisor, ASA(ALT) ) VIEW ORIGINAL
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (May 22, 2012) -- The signature sound of the tandem-rotored Chinook was multiplied by four as Sortie 2 took to the early morning air over Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Ga.
The new helicopters had been flown to the airfield just a couple of weeks earlier in mid-March from the Boeing production facility in Philadelphia. And though new, the helicopters were far from shiny; their mid-toned, flat green paint was well-designed to offer concealment against terrains in theater operations where most F models would fly.
It was now April, and the Chinooks were departing on what would likely be the longest mission they'd likely ever be tasked to do; fly from the eastern seaboard of the southern U.S. all the way to Fairbanks, Alaska. Once in Alaska, the new F models would be turned over to the aviators of the 1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation Regiment, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade.
The mission sounded easy enough.
But the nearly 3,400 nautical mile route to Alaska would take almost two weeks with multiple fuel stops and overnight breaks for the crews along the way. They would be trailing in the wake of Sortie 1, also consisting of four new F models and a combined crew of about 22, by just a day. The sorties were separated by at least a day so that some of the smaller airfields used along the way would not be overly taxed in terms of fueling capabilities or ramp parking spaces.
Four more CH-47 F model Chinooks would follow a couple of weeks later to comprise Sortie 3 for a total of 12 new aircraft delivered to the 16th CAB in Fairbanks.
The route was lengthy and well-planned out.
The new F models and their crews would fly from Savannah, Ga., to St. Louis then on to Rapid City, S.D., with a quick stop for fuel and lunch at Campbell Army Airfield at Fort Campbell, Ky. From Rapid City, the route continued north to Helena, Mont., and, from Helena, north across the Canadian border to Edmonton in Alberta. From there, stops included Fort Nelson in northern British Columbia, a brief fuel stop at Whitehorse in the Yukon, and, finally, the immense state of Alaska and the final destination of Fairbanks.
All of the major stops were conducted as an overnight stay to allow the crews needed rest and downtime as well as to allow for required maintenance on the Chinooks.
Amazingly enough, the ferry mission to Alaska was to be a first of sorts for the venerable airframe. In its 50 years of production and hundreds of thousands of hours of flight time as a fleet, a ferry of this magnitude across the breadth of North America had never been done before.
"From an operational standpoint, or a logistical, planning and actual execution standpoint, it's been a big challenge," explained Col. Bob Marion, Cargo Helicopters project manager. Marion spoke during a weather delay in Helena that held up the mission for two days. The delay wasn't part of the extensive planning, of course, but the plans were necessarily flexible due to the complexity of the mission.
A team of Boeing technicians was traveling along to handle issues that might have come up during the long flight. They didn't travel light. One of the four helicopters was the "maintenance bird," so-called because, in addition to the technicians, it carried a couple of large tool boxes as well as spare parts and other items they might need along the way.
Marion elaborated on the long history of the Chinook, noting that the basic design may be old in terms of military vehicles, but it was a completely up-to-speed aircraft.
"If you go back in time and look at the fact that the Chinook has been around for over 50 years now, flying in the Army, from the big picture standpoint, it shows how reliable, how sustainable, how effective operationally the system is. The physics of the aircraft have remained the same for 50 years.
"We've done a lot of things like upgrading the engine, the gearboxes, the transmission, to make it more and more reliable as we've gone through these last generations of aircraft from A through F. We've improved the aircraft over 50 years, but the fact that it's continued to be a part operationally of the Army's inventory of aircraft shows just how reliable it is," Marion said. "Engines have been upgraded over the years, as have the most of the other major components. What really sets the F model apart is its greatly upgraded avionics."
Marion added that Chinooks in theater have flown anywhere from 50 to 100 hours in per month.
"And that's been ongoing for the last 10 years," he emphasized, noting that the airframe was originally designed to fly just over 14 hours per month with a life span calculated on those flight hours. "The aircraft has done great."
The first couple of days covered familiar ground for most of the CH-47F crews. And though the scenery was entertaining from 1,200 feet in the air, the days were fairly uneventful.
The battle rhythm was developed.
Get to the airfield and the aircraft early in the morning. Pilots had already completed their pre-mission planning and all crew members assisted in getting the aircraft ready to fly for the day. The ramp at the back was lowered to allow access to the interior. Covers were removed from the engines, rotor hubs and other sensors that needed protection overnight. Blade ropes that had secured each rotor's four large blades were taken off. Luggage was stowed and tied down within.
The pilots worked through their checklists while the flight engineer coordinated external checks from the ramp near the opened right side door as the engines started and the rotors began the first of their revolutions for the day. After a short taxi to the runway, the pilots would perform a hover check, then other final checks. The air mission commander in the lead helicopter would confirm a go for all aircraft in the sortie then the pilots in the four birds would increase air speed and elevation and take off.
The day's flight had begun.
The trip from Savannah to St. Louis was punctuated only by the fuel stop at Campbell Army Airfield.
The overnight in St. Louis was nearly uneventful except for having to wait for an avionics software update on one of the F models. The delay slowed the day's mission by a couple of hours, putting off the arrival of the four Chinooks at the National Guard facility in Rapid City by a couple of hours.
Departing from Rapid City the next morning, the sortie crews saw the first of several crowds drawn to the attraction of four Army Chinooks passing through had gathered just inside a National Guard hangar out of the reach of the morning's drizzle. The 30 some-odd men, women and children were just in time to witness the morning hover check and launch for the day.
The weather had been clear flying into Montana and the crews had the first glimpse of the Rocky Mountains. By the next morning, however, the clouds had settled into the valleys and low areas to the north along the planned route to Edmonton. Traveling through the mountain passes had become a major safety concern which resulted in a two-day weather delay and the biggest single setback on the road to mission complete. But, as Lt. Col. Brad Killen, Cargo office product manager for the F model, explained that the mission was to get the Chinooks to the Soldiers of the 16th CAB in as safe a way as possible.
"We can see to certain ridge lines, but we can't see over other ones. If you do punch in (to the clouds), then you would proceed to altitude and fly instruments. The problem here is, as we can see with all the snow capped mountains, once you get to altitude, then you're dealing with icing. And that's something you don't want in a helicopter.
"In an aviation unit, we focus on getting the mission done and getting it done safely. We have weather conditions such that we'd probably be really close on whether or not we should launch or not and, in our case, we don't have troops that we need to go save, we don't have an injured Soldier that we're trying to go rescue on a mountain top somewhere. We're trying to get these eight 47Fs to Fairbanks, Alaska, safely. So we're going to wait until we're certain that we have good weather between here and our next stop in Alberta," Killen said.
Once given the go ahead, the trip north was uneventful considering that eight Army Chinook helicopters, separated by just about an hour, were traveling into the heart of the Canadian province of Alberta and the cosmopolitan city of Edmonton.
But it was a friendly invasion and the helicopters continued to draw at least a small crowd of onlookers and well-wishers.
Several of the support staff at the Edmonton City Centre airport just north of downtown took a look inside one of the F models of Sortie 1 shortly after the sortie landed. They were joined by several others the next morning to watch the four Chinooks take off for the day.
The Chinooks of Sortie 2 had landed at Edmonton International Airport situated south of the city. When they departed the next day, airport support crews with bucket trucks had lined up several hundred yards away against the edge of the airfield with buckets raised high to allow their occupants the best view of the departing Chinooks. The truck crews held their pseudo salute as the Chinooks climbed away and departed for the Canadian province to the west.
A little over five hours later, the four helicopters in the sortie had arrived at Fort Nelson in northern British Columbia. The small town on the Al Can Highway served as a hub for the oil drilling activities in the region and had its fair share of air traffic as evidenced by busy regional airport nearby.
A lot of things passed through Fort Nelson on the Al Can, but most of them were not new F model Chinooks.
This stop along the route drew the attention of the students and faculty of the R.L. Angus Middle School who wasted no time in inviting themselves to the airport for a tour of the Chinooks.
A few volunteers waited for the students and kept one aircraft open and ready and a short while later, the middle-schoolers were on the parking ramp where the four F models sat and talking to the pilots and flight engineers. The ramp extensions were lowered to allow easier access and soon the cargo helicopter was full of 15 students with iPads taking photos and video. The main attraction in the helicopter, however, was the cockpit.
Since a little seat time was called for, one of the pilots offered some basic instructions on how to successfully enter the busy cockpit and briefly occupy a seat.
"Put your left foot in first if you're going in the right seat, and your right foot in first if you're going in the left seat," Chief Warrant Officer 5 Matt Carmichael instructed. Carmichael was a pilot from 10th CAB at Fort Drum, N.Y., temporarily assigned to the ferry task force.
The experience of getting in to the cockpit for the first time wasn't easy for everyone.
"No, your other right foot," Carmichael scowled jokingly toward a student who didn't yet grasp his directions. "Now pull your other foot over," he said, adding a "there you go" when the student figured it out.
"And remember, if you break it, you buy it," he announced to all of the students in the cargo bay of the F model. He then broke a smile to cue them in and added "they're actually pretty hard to break. They're Army tough."
After everyone had a chance to sit up front, Carmichael, along with Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jack Tartaglia, a pilot with the Cargo Helicopters Project Office, handed out CH-47F patches to them as parting souvenirs, and then posed for photos with the students and the other pilots and crew in front of the aircraft.
The following day, the four Ch-47F models of Sortie 2 followed the Alcan Highway through mountain passes too numerous to count. Following the highway below was not only the most direct route through the endless mountains, but a reliably open offer for a good spot to put one or more of the helicopters down should the need to land arise. Options for emergency landing zones were nearly non-existent in the otherwise craggy and forested area below. Options in any terrain are a necessity, but even more so in this unforgiving and remote part of the world. Fortunately, the need never arose.
The scenery was impressive and downright spectacular.
The rugged, snow covered mountains stretched from horizon to horizon and then some. Sporadic clusters of cabins along with an occasional airstrip could be seen from the crew's varying vantage points of between several hundred to 1,000 or 2,000 feet above ground level. Traces of wildlife could also be seen by the tracks they left in the snow below, and at one point, an eagle flew across the field of view.
The need for the airstrips was obvious. Although an occasional car or truck could be spotted on the lonely road, the best way to get in or out of here was by air. Wheels on the ground took too much time and the distances between pockets of civilization were too vast.
After a few more hours of solidly dramatic scenery, the four F model Chinooks in Sortie 2 stopped at Whitehorse to refuel, and then were off to Alaska once again. As the sortie neared the final destination on the ferry trip, the terrain below opened into the broad geologic basin that was the home to Fairbanks and Fort Wainwright. More signs of civilization followed and the Chena River, displaying the broken ice chunks of spring along its banks, joined the Alcan in leading the crews of Sortie 2 to the airfield destination ahead.
Ladd Army Airfield was populated with a few D model Chinooks on skis instead of wheels. The D models stood out due to their darker green paint color against the snow in the middle of the air field where a few of them were parked. The four Chinooks in Sortie 1 were there, too, having arrived just the day before.
It was a long way from sunny Savannah, Ga., but the weather was surprisingly not much different. The sun was out and Fairbanks was enjoying a mild 57 degrees Fahrenheit.
And for Sorties 1 and 2, it was mission complete. Some of the pilots and crew members would travel back to Savannah to ferry the remaining four F models to this same spot.
From an operational standpoint, Col. Marion pointed out the first two deliveries were a success. He then elaborated on the abilities of the Chinook.
"We've used this aircraft in so many different roles. When we did the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the Chinook in Philadelphia where they build the Chinooks, the original design engineers came to the ceremony," Marion said. "I know that they had no idea that we'd be using this as an air assault platform and all the other missions that we've asked this aircraft to do. It's a testament to the folks who designed the aircraft and the Soldiers who are flying and maintaining the aircraft today that every time we ask it to pick up something else, to do something more, to take on a new mission, it's always done more than we asked it to do."
The eight new CH-47F models parked on the ramp near a 16th CAB hangar were home. Not just home, but tested and proven. Not battle tested, maybe, or hooking a truck or Humvee from below proven, but they had just traveled 3,400 nautical miles by rotor without a major hitch.
Four more new F models would join them in early May. Over the next few months, they would be turned over to their new crews in the 16th CAB with the help of the New Equipment Training Team pilots who will instruct them on the finer points of the latest model Ch-47F Chinook.
The 16th CAB will, no doubt, have much to add to the storied legacy of the multi-capable cargo helicopter.

Q: Dictionary TryGetValue out parameter Does TryGetValue change input parameter?
when using TryGetValue, I tend to do:
Dictionary<int, long> myDic;
long lValue = -1;
long lTemp1;

if( myDic.TryGetValue(100, out lTemp1)){
    lValue = lTemp1;
}

should I write directly this way?
myDic.TryGetValue(nKeyToLookup, out lValue);

A: As the documentation states

When this method returns, the value associated with the specified key, if the key is found; otherwise, the default value for the type of the value parameter.

the value will be changed.
If you want to shorten your code you can do this
Dictionary<int, long> myDic;

if( !myDic.TryGetValue(100, out var lValue))
{
    lValue = -1;
}

Update
You could write a custom TryGetValue extension method which accepts a ref TValue value
public static class DictionaryExtensions
{
    public static bool TryGetValue<TKey,TValue>( this IDictionary<TKey,TValue> dict, TKey key, ref TValue value )
    {
        var result = dict.TryGetValue( key, out var foundValue );
        if ( result )
            value = foundValue;
        return result;
    }
}

Q: Checkboxlist Event on change the state C# In c# I have a checkboxlist. Now I want to do something each time the state of one of the checkboxes changes (so from checked to unchecked or from unchecked to checked).
Which Event do I need for this? The problem is that a simple clickEvent doens't work because it's like I need to click twice on a checkbox to check or uncheck it. (it first selects it, and just then it checks or unchecks).
Thanks a lot!

A: The event your looking for is SelectedIndexChanged:
ASP.NET or Winforms

A: Use the OnSelectedIndexChanged event.
Look at : MSDN

"My vision is for Honolulu to embrace its name, sheltered harbor. In this vision, Honolulu is a progressive, modern and forward-looking city, connected through trade, diplomacy and ideas to world markets and the global community. But we achieve this vision by investing in our citizens, preparing our keiki for a world which is increasingly unequal, unpredictable and untenable."

"As a small business owner, I would like to collaborate with colleagues to make doing business in Hawaii easier. We have so many challenges. Hawaii's anti-business worker's compensation regulations, for example, make it very difficult to pay higher wages. Insurance companies & Department of Labor do not protect employers from frivolous claims. Small business owners need a level playing field."
