Q: react Компонент с таймером не обновляется таймер Делаю компонент с таймером, но он добавляет к таймеру всего +1 и больше не работает, из за чего это может быть и как можно исправить?
import React, {useEffect, useState} from 'react';

const TimerPages = ( { updateTime, stopTimer, resetTimers}) => {

    const [timer, setTimer] = useState(0);
    const [resetTimer, setResetTimer] = useState(false);

    const addTimer = () => {
        setTimer(timer + 1);
    }

    useEffect(() => {
        setInterval(() => {
            addTimer()
        }
        , 1000)}, [])

    useEffect(() => {
        updateTime(timer);
    }, [timer]})

    return (

Время игры: {timer}

    );
};

export default TimerPages;

A: И так самое важное тут - это понять, что компонента перерисовывается только при обновлении стейта (Как оказалось это не совсем правда). В этом случае (упрощённом естественно) всего один стейт - это timer

*

*В первый раз компонента рендерится со стейтом 0 и мы видим в консоли Render

*Потом запускается useEffect, в консоли видим Use effect и устанавливает бесконечный таймер. Тут очень важно понять, что функция в setInterval ВСЕГДА будет видеть только те значения стейта, при которых он был вызван. В конкретном случае это значит, что при инициализации timer === 0, потому после ререндеринга, когда в timer будет новое значение, наша функция addTimer не будет об этом знать

*Через время запускается addTimer, мы в консоли видим timer 0 и устанавливаем новое значение равное timer + 1. И так у нас до обновления timer === 0, потому когда мы вставим новое значение т.е. 0 + 1 = 1, то стейт обновится, произойдёт перерисовка и мы увидим в консоли Render

*Опять через время запускается addTimer, мы в консоли видим timer 0 и устанавливаем значение равное timer + 1, НО помним что в нашей функции timer всегда равен 0, потому мы опять будем пытаться вставить значение 1. Предыдущее значение было 1 и мы опять пытаемся вставить 1, потому обновлении стейта не произойдёт. Тут нужна оговорка хоть мы и увидим в третий раз Render - это не потому что обновилось значение, а просто React не гаранитрует, что не перерисует при одном и том же значении стейта

*Дальше мы бесконечно будем видеть в консоли timer 0, потому что мы постоянно будем пытаться обновить значение с 1 на 1, React увидит, что новое значение равно предыдущему и не будет перерисовывать, потому Render в консоли мы больше не увидим

const {useEffect, useState} = React;

const App = () => {

  const [timer, setTimer] = useState(0);

  const addTimer = () => {
    console.log('timer', timer);

    setTimer(timer + 1);
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log('Use effect');

    setInterval(addTimer, 4000);
  }, [])

  return
 Время игры: {console.log('Render') || timer}
;
};

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Если не хотите ждать, то вот какой вывод консоли будет:
Render
Use effect
timer 0
Render
timer 0
Render - этот рендер не связан с тем что состояние обновилось
timer 0 (бесконечно раз)

Что очень важно при работе с таймерами - это всегда них очищать, как только они больше не нужны. Есть несколько решений этой проблемы:

*

*Как по мне самое лучшее - это заменить setInterval на setTimeout и в массив зависимостей вставить timer. Так мы всегда будем получать новое значение стейта и будем устанавливать таймер только после того как обновится компонента в отлии от setInterval, который насильно будет вызывать функцию

const {useEffect, useState} = React;

const App = () => {

  const [timer, setTimer] = useState(0);

  const addTimer = () => {
    setTimer(timer + 1);
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    const timeout = setTimeout(addTimer, 1000);

    return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
  }, [timer])

  return
 Время игры: {timer}
;
};

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

*Можно вызывать не просто addTimer(timer + 1), а вызывать addTimer(t => t + 1). В этом случае нам не важно что в переменной timer, мы смотрим на текущее состояние стейта, которое приходит на вход в t, потому всё будет работать корректно

const {useEffect, useState} = React;

const App = () => {

  const [timer, setTimer] = useState(0);

  const addTimer = () => {
    setTimer(t => t + 1);
  }

  useEffect(() => {
    const interval = setInterval(addTimer, 1000);

    return () => clearInterval(interval);
  }, [])

  return
 Время игры: {timer}
;
};

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));


It's not very often you see the current season's trends on sale, but today you are in luck! I'm sharing the top 5 current Fall trends that are on major sale right now! Plus I'm giving you the inside scoop on the Shopbop Sale of the season! This is one of those sales I look forward to each season and definitely stock up on the more expensive pieces. Only insiders get access to this sale, and luckily for you I've got the code for you!
Top 5 Current Fall Trends on Sale!
I'm kind of going crazy over velvet this season. Velvet used to remind me of those Juicy Couture Joggers or those pants that had wording on the bottom. You know what I'm talking about. Velvet has come a long way since then and I'm completely obsessed. On my list to purchase this year is a velvet bag, booties, and a blouse. I went crazy over these Stuart Weitzman blush shoes but I don't think I can justify the price!!
Next on the list are romantic details. You are going to find very feminine shirts and blouses this year. There will be lots of bell sleeves, off the shoulder tops, and dainty details like high neck collars or little ruffles on sleeves. You'll also find large ruffled statement pieces as well!
Give me all of the mules, please! I'm going to kind of call this #momlife fashion because heels just aren't going to happen for me in the near future. The other reason I love mules is because my clothing tends to be more casual and cozy during the Fall and Winter months anyway and I think a good pair (or few pairs) of mules are the perfect accessory. You can also grab a dressy pair with a heel!
I've seen some crazy statement outerwear lately. Crazy like bright orange, faux fur, oversized coat. Maybe you can pull it off, but I know I cannot. That doesn't mean there aren't other statement outerwear pieces that I can't wear. I found some really adorable pieces- all on sale below!
White boots are popping up everywhere these days. I mean, everywhere. Don't worry, you can wear white after Labor Day. I crushed that myth in this post here. To tell you the truth, I'm not 100% on board yet. I think this is a trend that is going to take some warming up for me. Free People is styling the white boot trend flawlessly, though. What are your thoughts on the white boots?
These days it's so interesting picking out my clothing because not only am I trying to embrace the trends, I have to keep in mind that I'm nursing a little one. Trendy and functional is the goal.

New chairman Adam Pearson has promised to hand Derby boss Billy Davies a cash injection to keep the Premier League's bottom-placed team in the top flight.
The former Hull chief will run the club on a day-to-day basis in place of out-going chairman Peter Gadsby.
He said: "The board and I will continue to offer Billy full support in our quest to remain in the Premier League.
"We will be exploring all possible options available to ensure a successful transfer window in January."
Davies' side are on a miserable run of one win in 11 league matches, but Pearson believes the former Preston boss is still the right man to lead to club out of trouble.
He added: "We firmly believe we have the manager and backroom team in place to continue the remarkable progress achieved on the pitch by Billy and his squad over the last 18 months."
Since leaving Hull, Pearson had been linked with Leeds, where he was once commercial director, Notts County and Huddersfield.
But Gadsby, who played a key role in turning the club around after the present board inherited debts of around £54million 18 months ago, said: "I want to make clear is that Adam joining the club does not represent a takeover of Derby County.
"But we wanted to introduce someone who can take us forward in running the club.
"Adam was prepared to put in an investment of his own as a demonstration of his commitment to Derby County.
"I was surprised by the levels of expectation of some of our fans, particularly over the club's perceived lack of investment in the playing squad just five games into the current season.
"The board did not want to overstretch the club's finances and risk returning Derby County to the previous cycles of feast and famine.
"This predicament led the board some weeks ago to consider how to take the club to the next level.
"It was felt the time was right to seek further external finance that would enable us to compete, taking the opportunity to maximise the advantage created by our Premier League status and the security of parachute payments for the next few years."


It's a view still held by many politicians today, including Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.). "We spend more than any other state in the country," he said a year ago. "It ain't about the money. It's about how you spend it -- and the results."

Deutsche Welle Freedom of Speech Award 2022 to two Ukrainian journalists
Ukrainian visual journalist and novelist Mstyslav Chernov and photojournalist Evgeniy Maloletka are this year's DW Freedom of Speech Award laureates. For more on this and other awards for press freedom, see: https://www.trueheroesfilms.org/thedigest/awards/b9e2c660-8e41-11ea-b31d-31ce896d8282
"Mstyslav Chernov and Evgeniy Maloletka have a way of reporting that is painful to read and watch, but what really hurts is the truth that their reporting conveys: Russia brutally attacking Ukraine, and thereby Ukrainian civilians, under a fabricated pretense. While there are nuances to every story, there is no way facts can be negotiated. This is exactly what the Kremlin is doing: Distorting facts, spreading misinformation," said DW Director General Peter Limbourg. "
The journalists, who both remain in Ukraine to continue their coverage of the war, welcomed the news about receiving the DW Freedom of Speech Award as an acknowledgment of their work. The award ceremony will be held on June 20 as part of the DW Global Media Forum.
AP journalist and novelist Mstyslav Chernov and freelance photojournalist Evgeniy Maloletka are both from eastern Ukraine. Previously, their reports and footage from the conflicts in Crimea and eastern Ukraine have been published in various international media, including BBC, Deutsche Welle, The New York Times, Washington Post, Der Spiegel and others. As a war reporter in several conflict zones such as Iraq or Syria, Chernov has been wounded multiple times. Before the war, Maloletka had also been working on a project about the Hutsul community in western Ukraine, their traditions and daily life, and on the impact of the conflict in the Donbas. Evgeniy Maloletka is a freelance photojournalist based in Kyiv.
The report "20 days in Mariupol: The team that documented city's agony" offers a unique account of Mariupol under Russian siege, with Chernov and Maloletka being the last journalists in the city before their evacuation. They documented the city's first deaths at the city hospital of Mariupol and the attack on the maternity ward with pregnant women and children in it, as well as numerous bombings. During this work, the journalists themselves were under constant attack and took great risks only to find a steady connection to upload their footage of the siege, bringing it to the attention of the international community. They were evacuated by Ukrainian soldiers to avoid them falling into the hands of Russians, who had been hunting them down.
AP Senior Vice President and Executive Editor Julie Pace: "Mstyslav and Evgeniy were the world's eyes and ears in Mariupol, producing courageous and compelling reporting as the only international journalists inside the besieged city. The harrowing realities of Russia's war would have remained unseen without their bravery. We are extremely proud of their work."

Nicaraguan journalist Luis Sequeira wins Rory Peck Award
France 24 reported on 8 November 2019 that the Nicaraguan journalist Luis Sequeira won the Rory Peck Award, which honours freelance photo and video reporters, for his AFP coverage of recent violence that has gripped his homeland. Sequeira was lauded at the annual ceremony in London for his shockingly raw footage of the violent crackdown against protesters in Nicaragua that began last year and continued into 2019.
His work showed demonstrators' arrests and clashes with security forces after protests erupted on April 18, 2018, in response to President Daniel Ortega's social security reforms. The resulting bloodshed has seen 325 people killed, from both the opposition and security forces, another 2,000 injured while 60,000 inhabitants have fled into exile, according to human rights groups. "This award is for the Nicaraguan people who have fought for democracy," Sequeira said after being handed the award by Nicaraguan rights activist Bianca Jagger.
Sequeira, 25, started shooting video at the age of 17 and has worked for Telemundo, RCN, HBO, Reuters and Rutly. He has covered events across the Americas, in Europe and Asia, as well as in the Middle East. His work has included reporting on the plight of the Kurdish people, the jihadist attacks in Paris in 2015 and the terrorist attacks in Orlando, Florida in 2016. Sequeira has been working for AFP since 2018.
This is the fourth time in six years that an AFP journalist has won the prize. It was launched in 1995 in memory of the independent videographer Rory Peck, who was killed in Moscow two years earlier. The award recognises the best independent news cameramen, and the ceremony is one of the main ways that the Rory Peck Trust, which administers the prize, raises funds to assist freelance journalists.

Carmignac Photojournalism Award for covering human rights violations – in 2019: the Amazon
Grajaú, Brazil—A deforested area in the southern Maranhão state seen from a helicopter belonging to IBAMA, Brazil's national environmental agency [Photo: © Tommaso Protti for Fondation Carmignac]
The Carmignac Photojournalism Award is an annual prize given to investigative photojournalists covering human rights violations [see: http://www.trueheroesfilms.org/thedigest/awards/carmignac-photojournalism-award]. Each year, a team of environmental and political leaders selects a region to focus on and then selects a recipient, who uses the foundation's $55,000 prize money to shoot the project they proposed. The annual award, now in its 10th year, focuses on a different region and associated human rights topic each year. For 2019 the jury chose to call for project proposals around deforestation and the Amazon. Evan Nicole Brown writing in Fact Company of 12 September 2019 notes that "in an ironic twist, the recipient of the prize money was announced as the rain forest was being obscured by plumes of smoke from the unprecedented fires."
The winner, Tommaso Protti, is an Italian-born photographer who has lived in Brazil for the past five years. ..the prize money supported the production of his photojournalism work, which began in January of this year and wrapped up in July. His reportage, developed in tandem with British journalist Sam Cowie, was revealed at the Visa pour l'Image festival in France on September 4.
"There's a big problem with impunity inside the region because of the state—it leads directly to killing the environment and indigenous leaders," Protti says. "The people there don't have the protection [like most of us] experiencing climate collapse. The majority of the people I've met try to make a living with what the forest offers them."

Poor environmental health in the Amazon is, in part, responsible for poverty and violence in surrounding favelas too. Rural agricultural workers, who depend on the forest for a living, have been forced to leave the Amazon now that it is less dense and farming has been modernized. The only place left for them to go are Brazil's cities, resulting in a crowding of favelas and the tension that results from a government pushing disparate communities into close proximity.
One of Protti's selected photographs depicts members of the Guajajara forest guard beating an indigenous man accused of collaborating with illegal loggers. Over the course of his time photographing the rain forest and its native people, Protti was able to observe how seasonal changes affect the Amazon's health, during the dry season (July through October) and the rainy season too. The joint work between Protti and Cowie explores the humanitarian crises plaguing the region—from Venezuelan refugee groups to agrarian and religious conflicts—and the ongoing deforestation too. "It's a really complex award from my point of view. [The Amazon] is a national treasure," Protti says about his win. "It's nothing new, fires happen every year . . . but at the same time, the fires are consequences of the social [situation]."
Protti's photographs and the accompanying reportage will be presented in London and at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) in Paris starting December 4. They will also be included, concurrently, in a monograph copublished with Reliefs Éditions.

How 'China fear' affects companies: Leica tries to disclaim an ad that features the Tank Man
Owen Churchill and Nectar Gan wrote on 20 April 2019 in the South China Morning Post that "Leica's ad agency denies releasing Tiananmen Square 'Tank Man' film without approval".
A promotional video that presents several vignettes of photojournalists documenting violence and conflict around the world became a controversy not just between the company Leica and China but also between two companies. A recurring scene features a photographer who captured the famous image of a civilian blocking a column of tanks the day after the Chinese military's deadly crackdown of protesters in June 1989. As the photographer's shutter closes to capture the historic shot of the "Tank Man", as the still-unidentified person is known, the screen transitions to a dedication to "those who lend their eyes to make us see", before Leica's distinctive red logo appears.
Following a public uproar in China and censorship of the brand on social media, Leica Cameras AG said on Thursday it had neither commissioned nor authorised the five-minute video – entitled The Hunt – that depicted photojournalists covering Beijing's bloody crackdown on pro-democracy activists in 1989. Yet despite Leica's efforts to disavow the video, F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi, the ad company that represents the German firm in Brazil and which produced the film, said on Friday that it was "developed together" with its client's representatives in Brazil. F/Nazca "would never [harm] its huge reputation by creating, producing and airing a work without the proper approval of its client", spokeswoman Carolina Aranha said in an interview on Friday. The agency was "immensely proud" of the video, which was released earlier this week, and was confident it had "delivered a remarkable piece", she said. Leica did not immediately respond to requests for comment on F/Nazca's statement when contacted outside business hours…
Airing just weeks before the 30th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, the video came at a highly sensitive time for Beijing, which routinely quells any mention in China of the events of June 4. But Zhou Fengsuo, who was a student leader at the time of the protests and now lives in the US, said Beijing was unlikely to make any explicit response to the video for fear of drawing attention to the matter. But that did not prevent a stern response from some members of the Chinese public. Soon after the commercial was shown online, social media users rushed to pour scorn over the German camera maker, which works with Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei to develop lenses for the company's smartphones…
Following the outcry, the company said that it regretted any "misunderstandings or false conclusions that may have been drawn". China is one of Leica's fastest growing markets, with the company planning dozens of new stores on top of its current nine.

Shawkan released in Egypt after 5 years jail for taking pictures
Reuters reports that on Monday 4 March 2019 Egypt released photojournalist Mahmoud Abu Zeid, also known as Shawkan who spent more than five years in jail after covering a 2013 sit-in that ended with security forces killing hundreds of protesters. "I can't describe how I feel … I am free," he told Reuters by phone after being released at dawn on Monday. [see also: https://humanrightsdefenders.blog/2018/05/04/world-press-freedom-day-a-good-time-for-honoring-journalists/]
Shawkan was released because he had served out his term before being sentenced. But he must still spend his nights for the next five years at a police station, a penalty he said he would challenge. He vowed to continue with his work, saying: "All journalists are at risk of being arrested or killed while doing their work. I am not the first and I will not be the last."
(Shawkan was charged with belonging to a banned group and possessing firearms. He was sentenced to five years in prison last September in a mass trial which saw 75 people sentenced to death and more than 600 others to jail terms. Shawkan denied the charges against him, saying he was simply providing freelance coverage of the protest for a British-based photo agency.)
UNESCO awarded him its 2018 Cano Press Freedom Prize and said his detention was an abuse of human rights. See: http://www.trueheroesfilms.org/thedigest/awards/unesco-guillermo-cano-world-press-freedom-prize

Scholars at Risk supports photojournalist Dr. Shahidul Alam in Bangladesh
On 5 December 2018 Scholars at Risk expressed concern about the charges against Shahidul Alam, an intellectual and acclaimed photojournalist, who was just released on bail after over one hundred days in prison in apparent retaliation for his public comments on the widespread student protests in Bangladesh.
Dr. Alam is a world-renowned photographer and visiting professor at Sunderland University who has established notable photography and media institutions in Bangladesh, including the Drik Gallery, the Pathshala South Asian Media Academy, and Majority World. He is well-known for photographing significant political moments in Bangladesh since the 1980s.
On August 5, 2018, Dr. Alam spoke on Facebook Live and Al Jazeera about the ongoing student protests in Bangladesh that sought safer roads, following an incident in which a speeding bus killed two college students. Earlier that day, Dr. Alam was covering one of the protests when youth league members reportedly attacked him and a group of journalists. Referencing this incident, while speaking with Al Jazeera, Dr. Alam alleged that police hired armed individuals to violently attack student protesters. Hours after the interview, a group of thirty police officers reportedly raided Dr. Alam's home, took him into custody, and interrogated him. They then charged him under section 57 of the International Communication and Technology Act (ICT Act) for electronically sharing material that "tends to deprave and corrupt" the public and causes "deterioration in law and order." No evidence has been produced by the police in their investigation of Dr. Alam to support these charges.
On August 6, while police escorted Dr. Alam out of the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's court following a hearing, Dr. Alam told reporters that police had beaten him while in custody. Dr. Alam received treatment at a hospital the following day by request of a court. On August 8, Dr. Alam was returned to jail and held for over one hundred days. On November 20, Dr. Alam was released on bail; however he still faces up to 14 years in prison based on charges under the ICT Act.
SAR asks for emails, letters, and faxes respectfully urging authorities to drop all charges against Dr. Alam that stem from his peaceful exercise of the right to freedom of expression; and, pending this, to ensure immediately his case is addressed in a manner consistent with internationally recognized standards of due process, fair trial, and detention, in accordance with Bangladesh's obligations under international law.

How photographer Tom Laffay sees human rights defenders in Colombia
While studying at the College of Charleston, Tom Laffay's political consciousness came not from the classroom but in the fields while working alongside Mexican migrant laborers on a farm in North Carolina. "How they were living in the shadows made me want to know where they came from," says the St. Ignatius High School alum.
With a background in Latin American studies and photojournalism, Laffay moved to Nicaragua in 2011 and Bogota, Colombia, in 2016. "I've never liked the idea of parachute journalism," says the 28-year-old Laffay, whose work has appeared in The Guardian, The Atlantic and Al Jazeera. "I get really invested in a place." Laffay's latest project Defender, a portrait of human rights defenders under threat for their work in Columbia, is part of the Cleveland Print Room's Anthropocene group exhibit, running 19 January to 23 February 2018.
Cleveland Magazine talked with Laffay about the perilous work of defenders intent on protecting their native environment:
Q: In 2016, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia signed a peace agreement. Since then, nearly 200 indigenous leaders, environmental activists, LBGTQ leaders and lawyers have been murdered in Columbia. Why?
A: It's open season on human rights defenders in Columbia, who are being killed with impunity for documenting blatant oil contamination by companies using water in fuel extraction. With the rebels demobilizing, the country is open for business in areas they couldn't be involved with before.
Q: Are you in danger for your associations with the local activists?
A: There are a lot of extremely talented and brave journalists here. I definitely take precautions and I make calculated risks. You have to really trust the people you're with. I make sure I'm always in touch with the legal collective I work with and they always know where I'm going to be.
Q: What do you want people to take away from this exhibit?
A: These are men and women defending their communities and environment, and their rewards are arbitrary arrests, fake judicial processes and death. The landscape has become so dominated by the oil industry. … Oil extraction comes first and communities are a distant second. ..

Visual Journalism for Human Rights: the Tim Hetherington award
The photojournalist Fernando Moreles has been awarded the second Tim Hetherington Grant, an annual visual journalism award focusing on human rights, Human Rights Watch and World Press Photo announced 0n 11 December 2012. Human Rights Watch and World Press Photo established the grant to honor the legacy of Hetherington, a photojournalist and filmmaker who was killed during fighting in Libya in April 2011. The €20,000 grant was given to Moleres for his project "Waiting for an Opportunity," in which he is documenting the harsh realities of juvenile justice in Sierra Leone. For more than two decades Moleres, who was born and lives in Spain, has been committed to documenting the plight of the most vulnerable populations and covering issues relating to children and labor, juvenile justice, and refugees. "Fernando Moleres' moral and emotional commitment to his photographic subjects is clear," said Carroll Bogert, deputy executive director at Human Rights Watch. "Tim Hetherington would have loved this work and Human Rights Watch is thrilled to support it."

Gain a deeper insight into Thai culture and history – without stepping foot in a museum!
It was a amazing show. They were do good job in customs and productions.
With a convenient pick-up straight from your hotel, you'll be whisked into the fantastical Thai land, for an evening of history, culture and an unbelievable performance. The three-act show takes you on a Thai journey combining an impressive range of dance, martial arts and acrobatics. One of the largest productions in the world, it features over 100 performers (in over 500 costumes!) and outstanding set design. It's worth coming early for the pre-show to see various cultural Thai treasures: a traditional village (complete with floating market), a fountain and light show, amazing dance performances, Thai boxing and even elephant feeding and rides! Opt to include dinner to indulge in a sumptuous range of Thai and International dishes including vegetarian and halal food – simply delicious!
Be sure not to miss one of the most popular shows in Phuket!
We chose klook to book Siam Niramit show for the first time. The show as well as Klook service were exactly as per our expectation. The pick-up cab was on time and very comfortable. At the show, it was like a carnival. Beautiful, vibrant, happy atmosphere. The main show was unimaginable. We are glad that we checked into klook to book Siam Niramit show.

Good for all sort of travellers: families, solos, couples, elders and young kids. My advice is to come early to start dining and explore everything before the show starts. Me and my family had absolute fun during the pre-shows! Come at 5, sit at the park, dine at 5.30, come back again at 6.30 to explore the village area and then enjoy the pre-shows. The show itself is worth every penny of money. The only problem is with klook whose depiction of the theatre seating is unclear, shd have stated that there's a better class than platinum for guests to purchase on the spot.

VERY GREAT SHOW! we really enjoy it. we book on klook and we took transfer with buffet. it was so worth it. I think anyone should try to watch the show at least once in a lifetime. preshow is so superb! overall performance is great! U will never regret!

The show is visually stunning. It consists of several segments, some of which may be a bit boring but others are just amazing (e.g. "Hell"). Overall, it's definitely worth seeing if you have a free evening in Phuket. The buffet has a huge selection and we found several dishes that we really liked. Arrive a bit earlier to see the pre-show activities, such as feeding the elephants and exploring the traditional village. And go for the the platinum tickets since the price difference is small and you'll get the best seats. The show is visually stunning.

The Siam Niramit Phuket show is a must when in Phuket.... They have a thai village showing house's from different parts of Thailand which you can walk through. Pre entertainment before main show such as Thai boxing show, water fountain show, and a few other acts is really entertaining. Do come early and go for their buffet dinner. The food is so nice and variety. The show it self is about the history of the Thai culture and beliefs, music lights and some comedy just add to the highlight of the performance. You will not regret it and the show worth every of your penny. The Siam Niramit Phuket show is a must when in Phuket....

The best show ever! Really recommended it to every age. We learnt a lot about Thai's history. And the buffet is halal. The pre-show and the show it self are incredible! I enjoy every each moments there. The best show ever! Really recommended it to every age. We learnt a lot about Thai's history. And the buffet is halal.

Its A must see! I was amused and amazed that this show was being played professionally but what makes it more amazing is that most of them are young age i guess but the perfomance is really awesome! The food buffet is really worth your money where you can experience different kind of thai foods. The pad thai OMG its Heaven! While waiting you will not get bored since the place offers different activities like visit the thai village, muay thai, dance performance. Im really impressed! Btw, picture taking with the performance is strictly prohibited. Its A must see!

11 Pros & Cons
The technology that me and my colleagues have chosen to examine as a possible semiconductor recycling project is the LCD PC monitor. We have chosen Dell[1] to take a closer look at the viability of recycling semiconductors. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon is the typical choice of semiconductor material in the manufacturing of LCD monitors. It is the best choice of semiconductor material because it can be "grown" over large areas. The structure of this silicon is not that of a crystalline material. It lacks the long range order that is present in crystalline silicon. Within the material there are vacancies that form, leaving behind dangling bonds; these free bonds are free electrons from the silicon that have not bonded with another silicon atom. However, the addition of the hydrogen atoms reduces the amount of dangling bonds because hydrogen consists of one free electron and can attach to the vacant bonds. This can be seen in Figure 1. [2]
Fig 1: Shows the gaps and dangling bonds with hydrogen atoms in the structure of the silicon.
The process of which the hydrogenated amorphous silicon is deposited onto a substrate is called plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). This process uses silane gas which enters the chemical vapor deposition chamber and dissociates into a cloud of plasma. This plasma is induced by a radio frequency power generator; the chamber that holds this process must be in a vacuum to eliminate any impurities in the process. Similiar to an electron beam deposition process,the silicon and hydrogen atoms condense on a substrate, in LCD monitors this would be the glass, and make the thin layer of hydrogenated amorphous silicon. The setup of this process is shown in Figure 2. [3]
Fig 2: Shows the setup for the production of amorphous hydrogenated silicon
Scale of market
The production of PC LCD monitors on the worldwide market shows Dell, Samsung, and LGE at the top of the market selling most for the 12 Brands selling from as low as 10 million units in a month to nearly 15 million units a month for 2010. Dell was ranked number one in the production of LCD for 2010. (Fig 3) In Figure 3, we were capable of determining the amount of units sold by Dell, which is estimated at 22.5 million units in 2010. [4]
In the total amount of PC LCD monitors that the top 12 brands sold between January 10 2009 and January 10 2010 was approximately 139 million units. (Fig 4)[5]
The growth for the production of LCD screens is expected to slowdown in the next two years. The growth in production of LCD panels for LCD has decreased, by the slow economic recovery, which is causing consumers to buy less and is predicted to slow down further for the next few years. (Fig 5) [6]
Recycling practices
Yes, LCD monitors are recycled.
Scrap LCD monitors are sold for recycling of the actual LCD panel when its not cracked, if it is cracked, its value drops dramatically to almost 0 since the only thing that is left to recycle is the actual printed circuit board and the circuit board in the LCD monitor is usually lower grade. [7]
HOW to recycle your LCD monitors…
To prevent your old electronics from being melted down over a rudimentary stove in Guiyu, China, or being tossed into a landfill in Lagos, Nigeria, you'll want to choose a reputable recycler. [8]
Recycling LCD monitors is easy if you do not have to go through the process yourself. There are multiple companies that allow you to send in your monitors for free, for a price or you can even drop them off at specific locations and they will handle it all for you. Some of these companies include Apple, Staples and Dell. Michigan Technological University allows people to drop off their monitors and the Apple store will recycle it all. If you want to go straight through Apple, their recycling process is to purchase any Apple computer or monitor and receive free recycling of your old computer and monitor no matter what the brand is.
WHY it should be recycled…
Electronics consist of valuable resources, such as precious metals, copper, and engineered plastics, all of which require considerable energy to process and manufacture. Recycling electronics recovers valuable materials, conserves virgin resources, and results in lower environmental emissions (including greenhouse gases) than making products from virgin materials. For example: Recycling one million desktop computers prevents the release of greenhouse gases equivalent to the annual emissions of 16,000 passenger cars. By recycling 100 million cell phones, approximately 7,500 pounds of gold could be recovered - allowing that amount of gold to go into new products. Recovering the gold from cell phones, rather than mining it from the earth, would prevent 12,000,000,000 pounds of loose soil, sand, and rock from having to be moved, mined, and processed. [9]
DANGERS of not recycling properly...
Electronic waste isn't just waste, it contains some very toxic substances, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, beryllium and brominated flame retardants. When the latter are burned at low temperatures they create additional toxins, such as halogenated dioxins and furans – some of the most toxic substances known to humankind. The toxic materials in electronics can cause cancer, reproductive disorders, endocrine disruption, and many other health problems if this waste stream is not properly managed. Many of the toxic constituents are elements, which means they never disappear, even though they may change form. Other toxic chemicals in electronics do not break down over time and instead, accumulate in the food chain and biosphere. Not only do these toxins present risks to communities and the global ecosystem, but also to electronics recycling workers, even in developed countries.
An estimated 70-80% of the e-waste that's given to recyclers is exported to less developed countries. Once there, primitive technologies such as open air burning and riverside acid baths are used to extract a few materials. The rest of the toxic materials are usually dumped. Unlike other countries in the world, the U.S. sends a significant portion of its hazardous e-waste to U.S. prisons to process in less-regulated environments without the worker protections and rights afforded in the private sector. Moreover, such operations amount to government subsidies, undermining the development of responsible private-sector recycling infra-structure and distorting the economics of recycling. [10]
What can the recycled be used for…
Flat screen LCD monitors and televisions contain toxic substances that can wreak havoc on the environment, but they may also have a silver lining -- or in this case, a silver nanoparticle and PVA lining.
British scientists have discovered that by separating the films of LCD screens, they can remove the polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) and turn it into a disinfectant. According to the researchers, the substance can kill harmful bacteria including strains of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Andrew Hunt of the University of York says, "We can add significant value this waste...that has great potential for use in biomedicine. Now we have gone a step further by enhancing its anti-microbial properties through the addition of silver nanoparticles, with the result being that it can destroy bacterial infections."
Previous research of theirs has found that pure PVA might be useful in human tissue regeneration and possibly in treatments to transport medications to specific areas of the body. By adding a dash of silver to the screen material, they hope to potentially make antibiotic cleaning solutions for hospital use.
And what to do with the rest of the toxins leaking from our technotrash? The EPA estimates that in 2005, the computers, TVs, VCRs, monitors, cell phones and other electric items ditched by Americans amounted to almost 2 million tons. That's a whole lot of lead, mercury, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, and other dangerous substances. That's why it's so important to recycle your old electronics. [11]
Amount of semiconductor in market
The amount of hydrogenated amorphous silicon is all dependable on the thickness of the thin film layer. These layers can range from nanometers to micrometers, and for the LCD monitors an average between the two will be used to determine the thickness. [12]
[math]Thickness=((1x10^-9)+1x10^-6))/2=5.005x10^ -7 meters[/math]
To determine the total volume in each monitor that Dell sells, we took the average height and width of the monitors that are offered. [13]
[math]Width=(18.5+4*21.5+3*23+24*4+27+30)/14=23.32[/math]
[math]Height=(13.74+4*12.84+3*12.73+4*15.47+16.7+18.95)/14=14.34[/math]
Converted to meters, the average size of the screen is: .592x.364 meters
[math]Total volume=(5.005*10^-7)*.364*.592=1.0785*10^-7 meters^3[/math]
To determine the mass of the silicon present, we took the average volume of the monitors and multiplied it by the density of silicon.
[math]1.0785*10^-7 meters^3 * 2330000 grams/meters^3=.2513 grams per monitor[/math]
Finally, the total amount of silicon that could be possibly extracted from the 22.5 million units sold is:
[math].2513 average grams per unit * 22.5 million units sold=5,654,250 grams[/math]
5,654,250=12,465.487 lbs
Methods of collecting lost semiconductor materials
The methods for collecting the liquid crystals from the LCD panels are: 1. Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid Technology extracts the liquid crystals from the glass. This method uses iso-thermal and a depressurization method to remove the liquid crystal from the glass panel, by converting carbon dioxide gas to its supercritical fluid state, thus dissolving the liquid crystal. Then the temperature is dropped, the carbon dioxide reverts back to gas, leaving the liquid crystal [14]. 2. Ultrasonic cleaning uses ultrasonic waves, which causes pressure against the liquid, thus removing the liquid crystals by force from the glass substrate[15]. After the liquid crystals have been extracted and removed and cleaned using a solvent, they can be recycled back into a different LCD [16] [17].
Potential for Post-Consumer Recycling
It has been decided that the semiconductor material found in Dell LCD PC monitors is a viable resource that should be recycled post-consumer.
Cost For Recycling, Collecting, and Transporting Semiconductors
The cost to transport to recycling center is estimated at 0.0172 dollars per kilogram. From our calculated total amount of world wide recovered amount of semiconductors is 43,885.29 Kg. So the total cost of transporting semiconductors is 0.0172*43,885.29 = $745.83. The cost to sort semiconductors is 0.140 dollars per Kg. The total cost to sort semiconductors = 0.140*43,885.29 = $6,143.94 . The cost to dismantle them is 0.315 dollars per Kg. Total cost to dismantle = 0.315*43885.29 = $13,823.9 . Cost to recycle monitor is 0.110 dollars per Kg, so the total cost to recycle monitors is 0.110*43885.29 = $4,827.38 . </ref>"Economics of PC Recycling" displaysearch.com, 1 Jan. 2000.

The Virginia E. "Ginny" Kirsch Memorial Highway named in honor of Vietnam Donut Dollie
Floral tribute of the Red Cross presented by members of the 25th Brigade, Tropic Lightening in memory of Ginny
On Sunday, July 30, 2017 on the village green in Brookfield, OH, a dedication ceremony was held to name the Virginia E. "Ginny" Kirsch Memorial Highway in honor of this Red Cross Donut Dollie, who was murdered in her hooch at the 25th U.S. Infantry Division base in Cu Chi, Vietnam on August 16, 1970. Ginny and her Donut Dollie sisters served in Korea and Vietnam as civilians, and as such, the three women who lost their lives while serving in Vietnam are ineligible to have their names included on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC.
State Senator Sean O'Brien speaking, was responsible for introducing the legislation to have the highway named in Ginny's honor
State Senator Sean O'Brien, who recently introduced an amendment that was signed into law by Ohio Governor John Kasich to rename a portion of highway in Turnbull County in Ginny's honor, spoke at the dedication event. Also in attendance were Ginny's siblings, as well as over 100 people, including Veterans and Donut Dollies.
Ginny Kirsch had only been in Vietnam for just two weeks when she lost her life. She and the other young women who served as Donut Dollies, went into these war zones because they chose to serve our military men by bringing a piece of home to them in an attempt to take their minds off the war, if only for a few minutes. These young women were dedicated to a truly challenging job, not knowing what they would experience from day-to-day, but they gave their all.
We thank Karen Sankey for the photos included here. She also provided the following description of the days events:
Color Guard with members from Girard and Hubbard OH presenting the colors
"Ginny's family was introduced, followed by the color guard presenting the colors, and the playing of the national anthem along with the raising of the flag. The wreaths shown in the photos were presented and placed near the painting of Ginny. Her sisters then spoke, as well as the Senator O'Brien, the president of Miami University of OH, local dignitaries and a Brookfield High School student.
A symbolic ribbon cutting took place, with Ginny's sister Laurie doing the cutting. A 21 gun salute, followed by taps and a bagpiper's rendition of Amazing Grace were performed, all to honor Ginny's memory. The ceremony closed and a reception with the family followed, with coffee, donuts and pastries served."

Peggy Michel said:
My sister, Emily Strange, a fellow Donut Dollie,who passed away last year talked about Ginny and worked to help Ginnie's family come to the dedication of the women's memorial in Washington DC. She would be so pleased to know about this recognition of Ginny.
S Snodgrass said:
There is not enough that can be said for Ginny and all the other ladies that served as Donut Dollies. I was serving as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam while she was there. I feel helpless not being able to be at the Dedication.
joan mckniff said:
I thank the 25th Infantry Division for that floral tribute.
Frank Miller said:
Sorry to hear about Ginny. I wasn't aware that any of the Dollies were casualties there. I was on a Huey flight crew out of Danang that flew the Dollies around I-Corps many times.. Thanks to all of you ladies for coming, you did make a difference for many of us.
Kip Rolland said:
Do they know who killed these women?
If you search the name "Ginny kirsch" and Vietnam, you'll find a few articles that give the background.
Patrick Fairbanks said:
Ginny was my sophomore English teacher in the spring of 1970 at Badin High in Hamilton, OH. I was moved by her in class and saddened by her death. I keep her my prayers for her strength, dedication to us, and her service.
Thanks Miss Kirsch. Pat


Leave it to Volkswagen to come up with a creative way for people to come together and celebrate the summer season as well as their position as VW owners. This summer, Volkswagen is offering drivers an opportunity to come together for a drive-in movie viewing. A travelling roadshow of sorts, this fun event recently came through Toronto, which is where the following picture was taken. No matter what VW models people were driving, they were able to come and enjoy one of the great summer pastimes, drive-in movies.


Today sees the start of Cyber Resilience Week which runs from 11th-15th September.
During the week, businesses are being encouraged to share, learn and connect in respect of the latest cyber defence initiatives, intelligence and case studies.
There is also an offer on during the week for charities to get Cyber Essentials for £225 plus VAT instead of the usual £300 plus VAT, with IASME, one of the accreditation bodies of Cyber Essentials.
Cyber Essentials is the government backed certification scheme which encourages organisations to address the five core technical controls which, once in place, will help prevent 80% of internet born attacks.
There is also the additional option of the IASME Governance Standard and GDPR Readiness Assessment to go with Cyber Essentials which is available to charities for £250 plus VAT rather than the usual £400 plus VAT.
Earlier in August, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport published their research on registered charities awareness and experiences of cyber-crime. The research revealed that whilst charities were aware of the dangers, they often lack the skills and resources within their organisation to take the necessary protective measures.
If you're a Warwickshire business, please visit www.warwickshirebusinesswatch.co.uk for more advice and crime alerts.
If you're an individual looking for cyber advice, please visit www.cybersafewarwickshire.com.
