CVS marks conflicts with in-line "conflict markers", and prints a C during an update. Historically, this has caused problems, because CVS isn't doing enough. Many users forget about (or don't see) the C after it whizzes by on their terminal. They often forget that the conflict-markers are even present, and then accidentally commit files containing conflict-markers.
Subversion solves this problem by making conflicts more tangible. It remembers that a file is in a state of conflict, and won't allow you to commit your changes until you run svn resolved. See the section called "Resolve Conflicts (Merging Others' Changes)" for more details.

Johann August Wilhelm Lignitz (* 3. März 1793 in Aschersleben; † 23. September 1881 in Görlitz) war ein preußischer Generalmajor.

Leben

Herkunft
Er war der Sohn des Oberamtmanns in Aschersleben Andreas Lignitz und dessen Ehefrau Charlotte, geborene Brahtz.

Militärkarriere
Lignitz besuchte zunächst das Gymnasium in Stettin und trat im Februar 1813 kurz vor dem Beginn der Befreiungskriege als Freiwilliger Jäger in das Regiment Garde der Preußischen Armee ein. In der Schlacht bei Großgörschen wurde er verwundet. Anschließend kämpfte Lignitz bei Bautzen und avancierte am 3. Juni 1813 zum Sekondeleutnant im 1. Westpreußischen Grenadierbataillon. Mit diesem Verband nahm er an den Schlachten bei Laon und Paris teil. Mit seiner Beförderung zum Premierleutnant kam Lignitz am 14. Juni 1815 in das 13. Schlesische Landwehr-Infanterieregiment. Von dort wurde er am 15. Mai 1816 dem 2. Schlesischen Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 11 aggregiert und am 5. September 1816 einrangiert. Hier stieg Lignitz am 14. September 1829 zum Kapitän und Kompaniechef auf. Daran schloss sich ab 30. März 1836 eine Verwendung im 20. Infanterie-Regiment in Torgau sowie am 30. März 1838 seine Beförderung zum Major an. Kurzzeitig war Lignitz als Kommandeur zum 3. kombinierten Reservebataillon kommandiert, bevor er 1841 in den Regimentsstab versetzt wurde. Von Mitte September 1843 bis Mitte März 1845 fungierte er als Direktor der Divisionsschule der 7. Division und wurde anschließend Kommandeur des II. Bataillons im 20. Landwehr-Regiment in Treuenbrietzen. In dieser Eigenschaft am 10. Mai 1848 zum Oberstleutnant befördert, war Lignitz kurzzeitig von Februar bis September 1849 im 23. Infanterie-Regiment tätig. Am 25. September 1849 wurde er zum Kommandeur des 37. Infanterie-Regiments (5. Reserve-Regiment) ernannt und am 18. Januar 1851 zum Oberst befördert. Unter Verleihung des Charakters als Generalmajor erhielt Lignitz am 8. Juni 1854 seinen Abschied mit Pension. Am 18. April 1857 wurde er schließlich mit der gesetzlichen Pension zur Disposition gestellt.

Anlässlich der Krönung von König Wilhelm I. erhielt Lignitz am 18. Oktober 1861 den Roten Adlerorden III. mit Schleife.

Familie
Lignitz hatte sich am 16. September 1838 in Torgau mit Luise Wilhelmine Cäcilie Klugmann (1821–1842) verheiratet. Sie war die Tochter des preußischen Majors der Artillerie Ernst Klugmann. Nach dem frühen Tod seiner ersten Ehefrau heiratete Lignitz am 4. November 1845 in Treuenbrietzen Charlotte Johanna Auguste Redlich (1831–1906). Aus den Ehen gingen zwei Söhne und eine Tochter hervor, darunter der spätere preußische General der Infanterie Viktor von Lignitz (1841–1913).

The Belles
Hi, I'm Belles, a 22 year old singer/songwriter living in Nashville, originally from Nebraska. Being lead singer, songwriter and front woman in my band is my dream and passion, and I've been writing on Music Row for 4 years now. My band is truly my family. My drummer is my brother Drew, 17, is a member of the Berklee Class of '25, attending Berklee on a World Tour scholarship. He also adds harmony vocals. On acoustic guitar and harmony is our mom Jaymie, who is an accomplished musician in her own right, and the kindest human I know.
Our new EP is produced by 5 time Grammy nominated producer Paul Moak (Joy Williams, Caitlyn Smith, John Paul White, Blind Boys of Alabama) will be arriving in summer 2021. The lead single, "All Hat No Cowboy" drops 4.29, after going viral on TikTok with over 1M views.
In 2019, we opened the D.R.E.A.M. Tour, the 7th largest grossing tour of 2019, playing a 96 city, sold out arena tour of the US, Canada, UK & Australia, as main support for teen star JoJo Siwa. Before the D.R.E.A.M. Tour, we played over 200 gigs, including opening for Dan + Shay, Old Dominion, Brett Eldredge, Lee Brice, Eli Young Band & more. I won Female Vocalist of the Year from the Rocky Mountain CMAs, which is my most meaningful accomplishment. I was also nominated for Entertainer of the Year, as our shows are high energy, but also full of heart.

How can I create a language pack for Sugar CE?
How do I translate SugarCRM to another language? I know many languages are already present for Sugar, but not for Swedish for version 6.5. That's why I want to do this.
One can find a lot of random information by googling. Now I am tired of that.


That's the surprising finding from a sourdough bake-off experiment, coordinated by ecologists Rob Dunn and Anne Madden. Fifteen sourdough experts from around the world arrived at a Belgian baking center with brand-new homemade starters, fed from the exact same ingredients sent from Dunn's lab. But before the bakers could get their hands into the dough, they held them out to Madden for bacterial swabbing.
Partnered with analysis of the starter's microbial ecosystem, Dunn and his collaborators were able to draw a close connection between bread, bakers and their bacterial species.
It's no surprise, then, that Dunn's survey of indoor species (including insects) lands him in the bakery with sourdough, which is brought alive by microbes. The experiment delves into how cooking with fermented foods might affect the microbes of the people who make them. In the book, Dunn describes how he formed the hypothesis that our bodies and environments influence the taste of our food.
I had a couple of conversations that led me toward this concept of son-mat, the Korean word for "hand flavor," that there was something that the hands offered to the food. If I were a poet, that would just be "love" and "sentiment." But I'm an ecologist. So the only thing I could think about in the context of that word was that there were actually species moving from people's hands into the food. And if there were species moving from hand, there must also be species moving from homes. The boundary between the body and the home is super fluid.
We teamed up with the Puratos Center for Bread Flavour, which is a super cool bread museum, research and conference center in the tiny German-speaking part of eastern Belgium. The ideal experiment would have people from different regions, both men and women, from different styles of bakeries. That would maximize the kinds of ways that their bodies and bakeries might influence what they were contributing. That's where Puratos was super helpful, because they were able to recommend bakers around the world who could come together at this bread center to do the experiment. The hope was to get them all to make the same starter except for the microbes, then bring them together, and all make the same bread. So we could test the starter, we could test their hands, and we could test the consequences for the bread itself.
The other one, which our design wasn't perfect for, but was the crazier one to me, was that we'd swab the hands of the bakers to figure out what was on their hands, and it was the same thing that was in the starter. We hadn't thought to wonder if the baker's hands themselves would be unusual. But lo and behold, the baker's hands looked like sourdough. So yes, the bakers did influence their starters, but the other way around was true too. The life of baking seems to influence the bakers.
Can you describe what you mean by "Their hands looked like sourdough"?
People have such a personal connection to their starters. Would you say that that's backed up by the science at this point?
Yes. Clearly, our data suggests that something about baking seems to be changing the hands of the people who do the baking. To me, it suggests that your hands are in a way taking a measurement of your life. Right? And so if it's a life spent with your sourdough starter, if it's a life spent in food, they're going to record a different story than if it's a life just swiping left and right on your phone.
That's a good question, and I don't know the answer. But if I were to speculate, I bet it doesn't take a lot of baking to change your hands a little bit. But if you really want those total baker hands, I think that's touching bread as much as you touch people.

Fire Erupts in Upper Cuddy Valley (fire controlled)
Kara Dillon shot this photo at about 1:45 p.m. as fire crews were arriving and before an air tanker arrived.
Don Eubank told The Mountain Enterprise that authorities told him to leave the area after he shot this photo because it was now considered to be a crime scene.
Another photograph from Don Eubank, along a forest service road.
FRAZIER PARK-CUDDY VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012 at 2:55 p.m.)–The Cuddy Valley fire was fully contained at one acre. Kern County and Ventura County responded with the USFS Service firefighters, who were in charge as incident command. No aircraft was used in containing the fire, except for monitoring, witnesses said.
The fire was located near Burbank Road, 200 yards from the Frazier Woods Confrence Center Ministry of the Canyon Hills Assembly of God.
FRAZIER PARK-CUDDY VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012 at 2:46 p.m.)–Community reporter Kara Dillon was heading west on Cuddy Vally Road at about 1:35 p.m. Tuesday when her children (Cash, 6 and Daisy, 4) called to her attention smoke in the trees on the hillside. Emergency vehicles began passing them on the road. Dillon drove to the Mil Potrero Y and then returned on Cuddy Valley road to Frazier Park. She took these photos at about 1:45 p.m. No aircraft were yet on scene. Young Cash says that he wants to be a U.S. Forest Service firefighter when he grows up.
FRAZIER PARK-CUDDY VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012 at 2:30 p.m.)–Radio reports have suggested that the fire is under control and the helicopter has departed. Residents are saying the fire was not in Camp Lakota. The location of the fire will be posted here as soon as it is confirmed.
FRAZIER PARK-CUDDY VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012 at 2:15 p.m.)–Cuddy Valley resident John DeYoung told The Mountain Enterprise that the fire appears to be much smaller than it was earlier. It's location appeared to him to be near the south end of Schaffer Road which leads to Camp Lakota.
FRAZIER PARK-CUDDY VALLEY, CALIFORNIA (Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012 at 1:45 p.m.)–A fire has broken out in upper Cuddy Valley.

Field Work: Adjena Revisited

Adjena Revisited
Ola Uduku writes;
It was a long and dusty journey, we soon understood why the taxi wouldn't haggle down from the amount he quoted. The road definitely existed, it was just in very poor condition and work was being done near the end of the journey to Adjena to re-grade the laterite. We finally pulled into a gathering of housing on each side and slowed down, I said this looks likes 'tropical designed housing'.
A hand-operated water pump caught our eyes and we watched a small gathering of women and children pump up their water into buckets and containers and then take them away for use. We walked to two elderly men dozing under a tree and asked the throng if we could wake one up.
'Is the Adjena resettlement area?', we asked.
'yes' came the reply.
Our first informant was in his eighties and had arrived when the first set of resettled villagers were moved to the site in 1957. He explained that there was a school further along and more housing.
We went further into the clearing and hit gold – a small school designed around a courtyard to specific tropical standards. Windows were deep and allowed light to penetrate through the classrooms, and the verandas were ample to enable their use in teaching. The school was foregrounded by a number of trees which seem to have been planted to a specific format, unfortunately they seemed to be dying, but they still helped frame the school and looked as if they were very much part of the school grounds.
Moving on from the school we came to a clearing with a designed kitchen–cooking area central to a number of small dwellings. We stopped and talked to Agnes, whom we asked about what she remembered about moving to Adjena. She immediately recounted that she had been 27 when the move had taken place and she was 87 now. A quick date check confirmed that these dates tallied with the move of the settlement in the Volta valley to Adjena. As we chatted with her on the step to the kitchen she explained that she preferred the new settlement to the old as the new buildings were 'Cortex', the name given to the company who built the settlement made up a concrete frame with infill breeze block walls.
We passed a number of small dwellings designed as part of the scheme. All dwellings now had electricity with television sets to prove it, however water was only available via the standpipes that we had seen when we walked into the settlement. The communal WCs did not seem to well used, one supposes that in this very remote rural area this option was unlikely to be popular.
For a resettlement scheme approaching its 6th decade Adjena was in good condition, it now had a junior secondary school and the road carried both the electricity lines and also the mobile phone masts. The road also ran through to the community council offices and there were other settlements which were now part of the greater extended Adjena community.
Developments were coming to Adjena, and we had been made welcome guests to this sleepy, yet thriving community. What would Leo De Syllas and the other designers of the then New Adjena think of their creation more than half a century on? An understated success we'd say as we made our dusty way back to the town.

Field Work: Axim and Dixcove
Heading west from Takoradi along the coast-road towards Côte d'Ivoire there are a number of fishing towns and natural harbours, such as Axim and Dixcote.
Dixcove Harbour
Fishing Boats at Dixcove
Axim was a major port during the early 20thC, exporting £250,000 worth of goods in 1913, and the mail boat from Liverpool (as well as ships from the US, Germany and Belgium) called every 10-15 days before heading on to Sekondi. Before the British occupied the Fort at Axim (Fort St. Anthony) it was held built by the Portuguese in 1515 and then captured by the Dutch from 1642. The Fort was conceded to Britain, along with the other Dutch forts east of Elmina on the 6th April 1872.
A European hospital was established in the town in 1901, and the British Bank of West Africa opened a branch, having traded in Accra from 1897. There are still some colonial buildings to be found, and a photograph of the District Commissioner's bungalow (c.1914) is held in the UK National Archives.

Besides the Fort, the Quandahor Building dominates the town from its elevated position. The building (according to some sources) was built in the 1920s, but with what purpose and by whom?
Quandahor Building in Axim
Nearby Dixcove also has its fort (macabrely named Fort Metal Cross after the slave branding iron used there) and the town still retains its thriving fishing industry. The fortress was constructed from 1683 by the Royal African Company and continues to resemble the 1806 print below. Needless to say, it is a harrowing structure, and a surviving relic of what must be one of the lowest points of British history. By 1868 the Fort was under Dutch control, before being returned to the British just four years later. It was made a World Heritage Site in 1979 and has recently been inhabited by an Englishman intent on refurbishing the place.

It was only in 1911 that a Customs Warehouse was completed and a market shed was erected in the Dixcove – is the image below the customs warehouse? A few other Colonial period buildings survive and we will endeavour to find out more about this fascinating place.

Field Work: Update from Takoradi, Part 2
Africa, British Colonial Architecture, Fry & Drew, Ghana, Tropical Architecture
An Update from Takoradi, Ghana Part 2
The docks and rail infrastructure of Takoradi was the impetus behind its rapid expansion from a small village to a major town. Construction commenced after WW1, but before this took place, it was neighbouring Sekondi that dominated the area with its grand houses, trading offices and the plush Metropole Hotel. The Dutch established Fort Orange there from 1670 and the natural harbour provided a suitable place for light vessels to shelter whilst the surf boats manned by the Kru people brought goods and people ashore.
The Metropole Hotel, Sekondi
There is some rich architectural heritage in this town, and clear evidence of a once prospering settlement full of traders and merchants. Those days are clearly gone.
We started with two schools, the first called Fijai, captured here by the UK National Archives Africa through a lens. Then onto St. John's, again the vintage photo below shows the clean lines of the school, when constructed c. 1955.
St. John's School, Sekondi
Fijai School
St. John's School
There have been further additions to the school including the striking church, donated by a Wisconsin family , with its large A-line structural frame, finely detailed concrete casting, wooden ceiling and pre-cast screening. Next to St. John's is Adiembra housing estate. There were revisions proposed for Adiembra in the 1944 Town Planning report made by Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew, but it is difficult to ascertain what impact this report made on the area, if any. However, we did spot some standpipes and washing stations that resemble those proposed by Fry and Drew in their manual, Village Housing in the Tropics, so perhaps this is evidence of their involvement.
The Church at St. John's School
We went onto the main street of Sekondi where the Post Office is located. We discussed this building in our chapter in Bremner's Architecture and Urbanism in the British Empire, but were now shocked to see how the exquisite timber counter had been painted in bright blue gloss – destroying the previous display of tropical hardwoods. The rest of the street has only gotten worse since our last visit, with many of the former colonial buildings on the brink of collapse. Absent landlords coupled with a shrinking economy has left these structures vulnerable and economically unviable. Further sad news must be reported, as the modernist Sekondi Regional Library has recently been demolished and replaced with a new library.
Sekondi Post Office
Sekondi High Street
Our final visit in Sekondi was to the coastal-road village of Ekuasie, laid out in 1912. This was an early attempt at providing worker housing and adopts the familiar grid iron street format, although far more loosely imposed than similar schemes elsewhere (such as Korle Gono). There are some later and grander additions to this village, including a set of houses from the mid 1950s.
Ekuasie Housing Estate
We returned to Takoradi and explored the workers' estate, mentioned in the PRAAD archives as the 'labourers housing and school' at the Zongo area. This is still a thriving area, Hausa was heard being spoken and the tiny streets eventually lead to a playground-cum-village square, overlooked by the Islamic school and Mosque.

Field work: An Update from Takoradi
Africa, British Colonial Architecture, Fry & Drew, Ghana
An Update from Takoradi, Ghana
We started at the Takoradi Train Station, completed by 1928 as part of the coastal rail and docklands development. The train lines were initially constructed to transport cash crops, minerals and metals from the northern agricultural and mining districts to the awaiting ships, sheltered in the newly constructed breakwater and deep water harbour. When we visited in 2012 the train station was completely derelict and not in use. Today we found it carefully restored and new tracks laid. The plan is to reuse it for a local transport network. We walked up the hill to the small commercial district made up of international banks and a post and telegrams office. The mishmash of styles reveals the incremental development, as well as the fierce competition between the banks eager to differentiate themselves from the competition.
The former European hospital clock tower up on the hill overlooks the banks and docklands, as well as benefiting from the cooling sea breeze.
Hospital Clock Tower
Tower Doorway
We drove to the 1920s part of Takoradi, a major new town extension that was built to accompany the docks development of that time. This portion of the town was primarily for the African population, although it also contains the Lasdun designed Bank of Ghana [built 1957]. Lasdun was also the architect of the National Museum in Accra. The bank was vacant when we visited in 2012, but now it stands in a state of complete dereliction, its fine materials and fixings being stripped from the building. This is a real tragedy. It was once an outstanding building, recorded in the Architecture journals of the day and surely one of Lasdun's greatest works from this period.
Somewhat downbeat, we bid farewell to the bank, and made our way to the rond-point in the middle of the town. The map was deceiving, as this was built as a major market place – our driver told us it was one of the largest markets in West Africa. It had the feel of Kariakoo market in Dar es Salaam, and also contains a delightful little PWD post office with its signage graphics still intact.
Adjacent to the market is Amanful Village. Laid out in 1922-3 it is a mixed use area of housing and commercial properties. The basic PWD-type houses and layout remained in place, but more wealthy owners had transformed much of the upper part of the estate to suburban housing.
Takoradi Technical Institute, photographed in 1950s
Takoradi Technical Institute
We then went to the Takoradi Technical Institute, shown above (Left, b+w) in the Africa Through a Lens Collection at the UK National Archives. There is a forcefulness to this scheme that takes the familiar two storey gallery access format, and emboldens into more 'clunky' yet determined architectural-structural forms.
Nearby is the Effiekuma housing and the Effia Nkwanta hospital. The hospital has evolved overtime from a European hospital-cum-sanatorium in the colonial period, to a major health provider today. The careful layering and response to the site contours offers delightful views as well as a most welcome breeze to all the small structures that each have a view of the docks. At the top of the hill is a large brutalist extension that dates from c. late 1960s early 1970s. But who designed it?

COVID Zero vs. Normal
What will happen if there's another pandemic? In Kentucky, a judge issued a restraining order against future COVID-19 Executive Orders; after a referendum last month, the Pennsylvania house voted to end their COVID executive orders (it goes through the PA senate next). Meanwhile, "experts" are still trying to get people concerned about variants, and some workplaces are requiring employees to get vaccinated. COVID Zero policy is continuing in Australia and India is reporting a record high death toll.

Judge issues preemptive restraining order against Beshear's future COVID-19 orders
https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/09/judge-issues-restraining-order-beshears-future-covid-19-orders/5408750002/
A circuit court judge issued a temporary restraining order Thursday against future executive orders that may be signed by Gov. Andy Beshear related to the COVID-19 emergency, stating that the governor must spell out specific details on why they are needed.
The judge's ruling came hours before Beshear announced he had signed a new executive order mandating Kentuckians to wear a mask in public for the next 30 days, a reaction to an alarming increase in COVID-19 cases over the past week.
After announcing the new mask mandate at his press conference Thursday afternoon, Beshear lashed out at the judge's order and the Republican attorney general and commissioner of agriculture who joined the lawsuit, calling it "absolutely irresponsible."
PA House Votes To Permanently End Gov. Wolf's COVID-19 Disaster Emergency
http://levittownnow.com/2021/06/09/pa-house-votes-to-permanently-end-gov-wolfs-covid-19-disaster-emergency/
Using the powers that Pennsylvania voters gave to the Legislature during last month's statewide referendum vote, the Pennsylvania House voted Tuesday evening to permanently end Wolf's COVID-19 disaster emergency, and the executive powers that come with it, along party lines, 113-90.
Republican lawmakers cheered and gave a standing ovation after it passed, one loudly yelling "freedom."
If passed by the state Senate, the resolution would take effect immediately. Wolf cannot veto it.
More transmissible, wilier variant makes Covid-19 vaccinations even more crucial, experts say
It's getting even riskier to remain unvaccinated.
The United States, as a whole, is still in good shape for the summer of reunions and revived activities. But for those who haven't been immunized against Covid-19, there is a new concern: the emergence of yet another coronavirus variant, one with a nasty combination of features that makes it even more dangerous than the other strains that have caused global alarms.
The variant, known as Delta, was first spotted in India and helped power that country's recent explosive outbreaks. Also called B.1.617.2, it seems to be the most transmissible version of the coronavirus seen thus far, but also carries some ability to get around the body's immune protection generated after vaccination or an initial infection. (There's also some evidence that it is more likely to cause severe disease, though researchers are still trying to confirm that.)
"It's really like the worst of both worlds," said epidemiologist Nathan Grubaugh of the Yale School of Public Health.
Houston hospital suspends 178 employees who refused Covid-19 vaccination
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/houston-hospital-suspends-178-employees-who-refused-covid-19-vaccine-n1270261
A Houston hospital has suspended 178 staff members who have refused to abide by its mandate that employees be fully vaccinated by Monday.
Nearly 25,000 of Houston Methodist's staff members have been fully inoculated against Covid-19 as part of a vaccination requirement announced in April, Houston Methodist's president, Dr. Marc Boom, said in a statement Tuesday.
But 178 unvaccinated employees who did not get religious or medical exemptions were suspended without pay, including 27 who are only partly vaccinated.
The strange theatre of mask-wearing
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-strange-theatre-of-mask-wearing
However surreal and dystopian the pandemic landscape seemed at first, no enduring vista feels 'surreal' and 'dystopian' indefinitely. Citizenries uniformly obliterating their faces with ear-to-ear muzzles has come to seem par for the course. But I'm still amazed by how eagerly a certain segment has embraced masking in public, especially in the US. More perplexingly still, many of these people regard any release from mask mandates as an attempt to take something precious away from them. They recall a certain kind of belligerent animal that gets trapped in a cage, and when you open the door it glooms in a corner and refuses to leave.
Witness the response last week when America's Centers for Disease Control announced that there's no need for fully vaccinated individuals to wear masks, other than in a handful of circumstances (e.g. on planes and public transport, where frankly there's no scientific justification for the vaccinated to mask up, either). Twitter exploded in outrage. How dare you allow us to go shopping without snot continuously drooling from our noses that we can't even wipe away! We love running and cycling in a state of oxygen deprivation! Are you seriously proposing we go back to interacting with fellow human beings as if they're anything other than repulsive bipedal pustules that weep disease?
America's Covid Groupthink Functioned Like China's Repression
https://www.wsj.com/articles/americas-covid-groupthink-functioned-like-chinas-repression-11623085417
What we eventually learn about the origins of Covid-19 may implicate China's government in failure and falsehood on a grand scale. But before we get too carried away with the endemic failures of the communist order, we should ponder that the episode has exposed layers of rottenness in critical institutions of American civil society that are similarly damning.
China's officials may well be culpable of a combination of incompetence, recklessness and deceit. But in an authoritarian regime, they might not have had much individual agency in the matter. In this country, scientists, bureaucrats, journalists and executives of Big Tech companies suppressed the story not out of fear of imprisonment or death, but of their own volition, out of ideological or even venal motives. You may well ask: Whose culpability is greater?
Australia's forever lockdown
Melbourne's fourth lockdown was supposed to finish last Thursday. After a week of restrictions, Melburnians were supposed to have their freedoms restored. But on Thursday, the state of Victoria, which is home to 6.6million people, recorded nine new cases of community transmission.
This brought the total number of Covid cases in Victoria's cluster to 54. Instead of relaxing restrictions, the Victoria state government extended the lockdown for another week at least. So far it has not said what thresholds need to be met for the lockdown to be lifted.
Many politicians and commentators in the UK have praised Australia's approach to Covid. They argue that the UK should follow Australian states' lead, and lock down hard and early with each new outbreak. It seems they want the UK to follow Australia's Zero Covid strategy.
The Power of Natural Immunity
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-power-of-natural-immunity-11623171303
The news about the U.S. Covid pandemic is even better than you've heard. Some 80% to 85% of American adults are immune to the virus: More than 64% have received at least one vaccine dose and, of those who haven't, roughly half have natural immunity from prior infection. There's ample scientific evidence that natural immunity is effective and durable, and public-health leaders should pay it heed.
Only around 10% of Americans have had confirmed positive Covid tests, but four to six times as many have likely had the infection. A February study in Nature used antibody screenings in late summer 2020 to estimate there had been seven times as many actual cases as confirmed cases. A similar study, by the University of Albany and New York State Department of Health, revealed that by the end of March 2020—the first month of New York's pandemic—23% of the city's population had antibodies. That share necessarily increased as the pandemic spread.
Necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in previously infected individuals
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Methods Employees of the Cleveland Clinic Health System working in Ohio on Dec 16, 2020, the day COVID-19 vaccination was started, were included. Any subject who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 at least 42 days earlier was considered previously infected. One was considered vaccinated 14 days after receipt of the second dose of a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection over the next five months, among previously infected subjects who received the vaccine, was compared with those of previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated, previously uninfected subjects who received the vaccine, and previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated.
Results Among the 52238 included employees, 1359 (53%) of 2579 previously infected subjects remained unvaccinated, compared with 22777 (41%) of 49659 not previously infected. The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection remained almost zero among previously infected unvaccinated subjects, previously infected subjects who were vaccinated, and previously uninfected subjects who were vaccinated, compared with a steady increase in cumulative incidence among previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated. Not one of the 1359 previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated had a SARS-CoV-2 infection over the duration of the study. In a Cox proportional hazards regression model, after adjusting for the phase of the epidemic, vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among those not previously infected (HR 0.031, 95% CI 0.015 to 0.061) but not among those previously infected (HR 0.313, 95% CI 0 to Infinity).
Conclusions Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before.
Summary Cumulative incidence of COVID-19 was examined among 52238 employees in an American healthcare system. COVID-19 did not occur in anyone over the five months of the study among 2579 individuals previously infected with COVID-19, including 1359 who did not take the vaccine.
Two Australian states on COVID-19 alert after infected woman's interstate travel
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/victoria-new-south-wales-queensland-covid-19-interstate-travel-14984800
SYDNEY: Two Australian states are on COVID-19 alert after an infected woman and her husband travelled from Victoria – which is currently in lockdown – through New South Wales and into Queensland, visiting dozens of sites on the way.
Authorities in New South Wales and Queensland are rushing to trace close contacts and locate virus hotspots. The couple may face criminal charges for breaching COVID-19 border restrictions.
The 44-year-old woman tested positive for COVID-19 once in Queensland, authorities said late on Wednesday (Jun 9), and her husband has since tested positive.
India reports more than 6,000 daily Covid deaths — highest ever in the world
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/10/india-covid-crisis-more-than-6000-deaths-recorded-in-24-hours.html
India's daily reported death toll from the coronavirus crisis reached a record high on Thursday, with more than 6,000 people succumbing to the disease.
That surpassed a record number of daily fatalities reported by the United States this year.
India's health ministry data showed 6,148 Covid-related deaths were recorded over a 24-hour period, as daily reported cases remained below 100,000 for the third consecutive day.
The fatalities rose after one of India's poorest states, Bihar, revised its total Covid-19 related death toll on Wednesday from about 5,400 to more than 9,400, accounting for people who died at home or in private hospitals, Reuters reported.

World Wide Name (WWN)
Posted by: Margaret Rouse
WhatIs.com
A World Wide Name (WWN) is a unique identifier that is assigned to a manufacturer by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and hard-coded into a Fibre Channel (FC) device.
WWNs are important when setting up a storage area network (SAN). Each device has to be registered with the SAN by its WWN before the SAN will recognize it. (In fact, if the SAN has trouble recognizing a device, the WWN registration is usually one of the first things an administrator will check.) The names are usually 128 binary digits (bits) long, but could be 64 bits if the device is older.
A WWN is similar in concept to a network card's media access control (MAC) address in an Internet protocol (IP) network, but is formatted differently.

but there is a little more to the story. According to the installer, who came late in the evening, bless his heart. This was the SECOND Whirlpool dishwasher that BB has had to replace out for the exact same reason in the last two weeks in the Tulsa area. He said as a dishwasher installer and repairman that he use to always recommend Whirlpool products, but not any more. He says he gets more calls on them than any other product and he does all types of appliances.
Also, you know how facebook shares what you are chatting about with their advertisers. Well apparently they only picked up the Whirlpool name on one of my posts and put one of those cj Patterson likes whirlpool ads on my feed. BAAAAAD thing to do. It allowed for comments and my comment was polite, but telling people to stay away from Whirlpool because of their horrible customer service and how fast my dishwasher quit working. The comments section filled up quickly from other dissatisfied customers NOT what Whirlpool wanted I am certain. LOL!
Anwyay, they immediately got on there, before the other bad remarks hit, and tried to say it was a one time thing and I should contact them direct at the exact same number I've been calling. I have been waiting for the dishwasher to be installed before I replied to that one. But guess what has disappeared from my feed. Gee wonder why that is.
Anyway, I never called Ms. Hateful back, I figure she can be "patient" and wait on that call. I plan on filing my complaint with the BBB this week.
You know corporations think unhappy customers can't hurt them, but they really need to look at former powerhouses like Sears, JC Penney, and now it looks like maybe Target to see exactly what word of mouth can do to bring a company down.
I may be only one person, but if even one person learns from my mistake of getting a Whirlpool product, then I have saved them not only the headaches I went through, but have cost Whirlpool another sale. I know that in the next few years we would be replacing every major appliance in this house and I can guarantee you they won't be Whirlpool products (or Maytag or Amana –they are all the same company).
On to happier thoughts. The guys are getting another profit sharing check, once again ours is going into the 401K and ds is putting his on Sallie Mae. They are bigger than last time by about $100 and that thrills us. Closer and closer we are dashing toward our goal of being totally debt free.

Lausanne, Switzerland, April 25, 2016 - When the Rio 2016 Olympic Games kick off on August 5, Brazil's beach volleyball and volleyball players will carry the hopes of a nation on their shoulders.
The popularity of beach volleyball and volleyball in Brazil is such that both events at this year's Summer Games are set to be among the most popular in Rio de Janeiro. And the country's athletes have benefitted from state-of-the-art training facilities in Saquarema as they prepare for the biggest event on their agendas in 2016.
In an interview with Swiss television channel RTS, Evandro Gonçalves said: "It is going to be a marvellous year for us to participate in the Games in our home country. We are very happy to have qualified and to be able to play in front of our fans and family. We are training very hard so that everything goes well for us."
Evandro and partner Pedro Gonçalves - both from Rio - will be one of two Brazilian men's teams alongside world champions Alison Cerutti and Bruno Oscar Schmidt playing for gold this summer. Larissa Franca/Talita Antunes and world champions Agatha Bednarczuk/Barbara Seixas will represent Brazil in the women's beach volleyball tournament.
With volleyball taking place at the renowned Maracanãzinho stadium and beach volleyball on the famous Copacabana beach, tickets sales for both disciplines have topped Rio 2016 organisers' lists.

FORMER Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd believes that Mike Ashley will sell the club if they are relegated on Sunday.
Newcastle need to beat West Ham at St James Park in their nail biting final game of the season if they are to stand any chance of staying in the Premier League.
Lose or draw, and if Hull beat Manchester United at the KC Stadium, then the Magpies will be relegated for the second time in six years.
Manager John Carver's side suffered their ninth defeat in 10 games in a desperate, gutless performance at relegated Queens Park Rangers.
Shepherd last night blamed previous manager Alan Pardew for leaving Carver with a team that is not good enough - and predicted that under pressure Ashley will quit if disaster does occur.
"If they do get relegated there could be a change of ownership," said Shepherd.
"You can't get relegated twice in six years without something at the top being sorted out.
"I think he would try and sell the club. I'm sure of that. He may have had enough."
Shepherd, though, refused to blame Carver for the dramatic slump in form and instead pointed the finger at Pardew, who left in January.
He said: "With all due respect to Alan Pardew, he knew when the time was right to get out, and the players he left Carver with weren't the best in the world. I'm sure of that.
"Carver didn't buy them. He has had the responsibility of getting that team playing, which just hasn't worked. He has to get them playing now."
Ryan Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini were both at Aston Villa the day in 2009 when Newcastle last dropped out of the top flight.
Midfielder Taylor also blames the uncertainty after Pardew's departure for Newcastle's awful decline.
He said: "We had turmoil once Alan left.
"We were unsure – have we got a manager, who is in charge? It took a few weeks to resolve and then John got the job.
"It's not that John has not got any experience. He has been around the game a long time. It's down to the players. We had injuries, but we still had quality, and we just haven't done it. It's down to us to put it right in the last game.
"Nine defeats out of ten, I don't care who you are, it does shatter your confidence.
"The good thing is that we are at home this time, unlike in 2009. We really lacked a lot that day. We've got to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Is John Carver's time as Newcastle manager up?
"Everyone has got to be on it next Sunday. Everything is riding on it for the club." Coloccini said: "The fans will be angry, like we are. But we have to be all together on Sunday, because it is for the club."
Newcastle took the lead when goalkeeper Tim Krul's long kicked was missed by Steven Caulker, and Emmanuel Riviere miskicked his shot past Rob Green.
It should have been the signal for United to take control. Instead, even after Green was laid out by his own player Joey Barton, they failed to take advantage.
Hapless Rangers improved, and levelled when Matt Phillips nodded in, and then Leroy Fer cracked in a glory goal from 30 yards.
Newcastle tried, but Clint Hill, showing the guts his opponents sorely lacked, bravely blocked Papiss Cisse's shot.
Seventeen goal Charlie Austin, sure to be on his way as a target for Southampton and Newcastle, said: "I am still a QPR player. I would trade all my goals for QPR to be still in the Premier League. I will leave it to my agent to speak with the club."
QPR (4-4-1-1): Green 6 (McCarthy 34); Onuoha 6, Caulker 4 (Yun 46), Dunne 6, Hill 6; Phillips 7, Barton 6, Henry 6, Hoilett 6 (Grego-Cox 46); Fer 6; Austin 8. Booked: Barton. Goals: Phillips 54, Fer 60. NEXT UP: Leicester (a), PL Sunday.
Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Krul 6; Janmaat 5, Coloccini 6, Dummett 6, Gutierrez 6; Colback 6, Taylor 6 (Aarons 63 5), Perez 5, Sissoko 6, Cabella 5 (Ameobi 72 5); Riviere 6 (Cisse 63 5). Goals: Riviere 24. NEXT UP: West Ham (h) PL, Sunday.

Lately I've been stopping after the gym to buy donuts and I've noticed they truly have a diverse array. Whoever bakes these is an artist of flavor and texture- at a normal, albeit somewhat bougie, supermarket.

I bought this donut to paint. Then, it was late and I took it from the kitchen to the studio. I took a nibble. Then another nibble. This is all that was left.

So I bought this donut before going to Vegas and didn't have time to paint it. After two weeks in the fridge, it still looked like a donut and smelled like a donut, albeit with less-pretty frosting.
An old-fashioned donut deserves an old-fashioned treatment, doesn't it? This one comes from the Spanish Baroque.

I have a "wired" desktop and also have a router for my wireless for laptops. The desktop is not wireless. I can't figure out how to install Ooma Telo so both work. I can get it to work connected to one or the other, but can't figure out how to hook it to the computer and to the router. Any help?
What kink of devices do you have?
1/ is the modem and router are combined in one device or separated?
2/ Brand? and model of the modem/router.
You just connect the Telo into the router like you do the wired Destop: using a network cable and connect the "To Internet" port on the Telo into a LAN jack on the router.
If your modem and router are two distinct devices, you can put the Telo in between like ooma recommendation.


I'm kind of surprised Butcher3 lost against the Harbinger. Butcher3 hurts Menoth period. The whole denial of tough, self-sac, and martyr is pretty big deal. From my experiences I would even say that Butcher3 is the go to caster when fighting against Menoth.
I'm not really surprised. On first sight 3utcher looks like a great threat against Menoth. But there's the book (Covenant of Menoth) and under Harbinger it's even harder to remove. – 3utcher is a front line spell caster, depending on Energizer, Impending Doom, and Flashing Blade in particular. Lawgiver's Creed stops all this within 10" of the book. It's really a pain for him. It's probably the best anti-Butcher3 tech out there. I wouldn't pick Butcher3 against Menoth. Irusk2 is a far more solid choice thanks to FFE (Fire For Effect).
From my personal games, my Butcher3 hasn't had much problems in general since SoD IFP tends to take out a lot of the Errant problems. I don't go super solo with him against Menoth, I play attrition and scenario.


Our Year 9 students have travelled to camp under the stars at our Nanga site this Term. Through activities like hiking, a tree top high ropes course, river rafting, mountain bike riding and more, students were encouraged to challenge themselves as they become self-aware, responsible and resilient young adults.
We are delighted to announce that Harman Heer (Carramar Year 11) has taken out the top prize – the Golden Mesh Award – at the 2018 Mesh at Murdoch Awards for his stunning photography! As Harman is currently overseas, he pre-recorded his acceptance speech while Mrs Lesley Nation proudly accepted the award on his behalf.
Last night we reflected on a wonderful year for our Carramar Secondary students at their Presentation Evening. While celebrating student achievements across many learning areas, we farewelled our Class of 2018 together as they embark on their next chapter.
Last Thursday's Hospitality Group Training WA Awards Evening saw success for Carramar student Naomi Velterop, who took out the award for the Most Outstanding School Based Apprentice of the Year! Naomi's employer praised her work ethic, saying she has a natural ability in the kitchen and potential to go far in the industry. Congratulations!
The Collinson Library deck is looking even brighter than usual thanks to our creative Certificate II Visual Arts students! This collaborative project saw students measure, design and paint these scenic artworks over the course of this year.
Our teams continue to excel at each FIRST LEGO League competition – this time our two Carramar Teams have progressed to the Nationals! The Raging Comets, Galaxy Goats and Robotic Operating Buddies all performed well at yesterday's State Finals. The Raging Comets and Galaxy Goats will now be heading to Macquarie University in New South Wales for December's National Competition!
Tuesday morning saw the annual VET Induction morning, this year held at Duncraig campus, for all of the students embarking on External VET studies in 2019.
Students listened to Lewis Schofield (2017 graduate) and Megan Wright (2015 graduate) tell them all about where their qualifications have taken them since they left SSS.
Lewis is now working FIFO for BHP as an apprentice electrical mechanic and Megan has returned briefly from Scotland where she has been working in a stately home (using her Certificate II in Hospitality). While she is home, she is using her Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care as she does relief work in a childcare centre so that she can save some money before returning to the UK.
The value of a qualification earned at school was clear for all to see!
There's just over a week to go until we celebrate our first Presentation Evening for 2018. Have you reserved your tickets yet?
For the second year in a row, young photographer, Harman Heer (Carramar Year 11) has been nominated as a category finalist in the Mesh at Murdoch Awards! Harman will now compete for the ultimate Golden Mesh Award, announced on December 5. Check out his stunning photos.
