NEW YORK -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi said starting pitcher CC Sabathia told him that he needed help battling alcoholism in Baltimore Sunday.
Sabathia, 35, said in a statement released by the Yankees Monday that he would check himself into a rehabilitation center.
"If CC is a guy who can step up in a situation like that, I hope it gives other people confidence to step up," Girardi said.
The manager said everyone in the Yankees' clubhouse has supported Sabathia.
"He's like a brother," Girardi said.
The news came a day before the Yankees host the Astros in the American League Wild Card elimination game at Yankee Stadium.

Sabathia figured to be part of the Yankees' playoff rotation. He had a terrible start to the season before turning things around with a new brace on injured right knee, which has a degenerative condition.
Earlier in the afternoon, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he was surprised Sunday to get a call from Sabathia saying he needed help with his alcoholism. The GM said he didn't know the pitcher was battling a problem.

Readers-submitted country lore tips in this installment of a regular feature include a method of using a garden hose as a drain clog remover and an onion slice as a bee sting remedy.
An onion slice applied to the site of injury is an effective bee sting remedy — the onion absorbs the toxin.
Wine cork tassels turned this backcountry straw hat into a fly chaser hat.
Water pressure from a garden hose works well as a drain clog remover.
Julie DeGroat discovered by accident that companion planting works well with sunflowers and peppers.
You can easily cut an expired credit card into a homemade guitar pick, or several picks.
The following housekeeping tips and other bits of country lore were submitted by readers.
The easiest, fastest, and environmentally friendliest way to unclog a sink or bathtub is with your garden hose. Simply bring your hose into the room with the clogged drain. I bring mine in the front door, across my living room, down the hall, and into the bathroom. I wipe it off so I don't drag dirt or mud through the house, and my wife doesn't say a word. Just place the nozzle in the drain and wrap a rag around it to make a good seal. If there is a vent, as in bathtubs or bathroom sinks, stuff a rag tightly in there too. When you are ready, simply squeeze the handle and you have all the pressure you will need to open any clogged drain in seconds.
A word of caution: Squeeze the handle slowly at first and gradually bring it up to full force. I let mine run about 5-10 seconds after the clog is cleared to help flush out any other material (hair-soap scum) that may cause a clog later on. While I have the hose in the house I hit all the drains just to make sure they are flowing free.
I have every issue of MOTHER EARTH NEWS since the first copy. I must admit I haven't had time to read every word of every issue and sometimes I am an issue or three behind. Still it is a valued magazine for my household.
In issue "Home Health Remedies for Summer Ailments," there were several "remedies" for bee stings. Every person has in his or her perfect bee sting antidote. An onion is my answer; a technique acquired from the mountaineers in West Virginia where I grew up.
If a large onion is available, cut a slice and apply it to the sting. If a green onion is used, cut just the bulb and use it. Make sure the onion has a lot of juice.
The pain will cease almost immediately if applied in a reasonably short time. There will be no swelling or soreness. The side effect? A hole appears where the stinger entered. It will be rather large (comparatively speaking). The good news is it will not be permanent. All things pass eventually.
I have used this method on myself and on my friends and children—it works. I have never heard of it being used on a snakebite, but it would be my first response before calling 911. The onion seems to draw the poison out—the large hole would seem to indicate this. Then why not on snakebites?
When camping, hiking, or just wandering, don't leave home without one!
Your June/July 1994 issue has Peter Godley getting sticky and gooey in the Country Lore section by applying oil to his hard hat in an attempt to keep warm weather pests out of his eyes and face. I want to share my own fly chaser with all those folks out there.
My daughter Patricia came back from Australia and brought me a souvenir, a backcountry straw hat. I thought immediately of a way to modify it and keep those flies and pests away. Using corks (from your empty wine bottles) or buying them at the general store, string several three inches apart and three or four inches long on the brim of the straw hat. Be sure the strings are not too long or you'll have eye problems. With the corks dangling, the slightest movement chases the pests away. I wear it every time I go out (but not to church). Hope you all like it.
Two years ago I hung a bird feeder near the garden. The following spring, hundreds of volunteer sunflowers sprang up. I pulled most of them, but the sunflowers in the green pepper beds were so strong and sturdy, I left them. That year my peppers were bushier than ever before and covered in blossoms. Did the sunflowers have anything to do with it?
Skeptical, the next year I deliberately planted one sunflower for every two green pepper plants—and again the yield was overwhelming. Perhaps the sunflowers give just the right amount of shade to the peppers, perhaps they just grow well together, who knows? I do know that from now on sunflowers and pepper plants will share a bed in my vegetable garden.
The birds adored those huge sunflower heads, too. After harvest, I nailed them to a fence post and let the birds have a go at them.
Recycle old credit cards into guitar picks. Cut with sharp scissors, using the pick of your choice as a pattern. If you're "picky" (pun intended!), shape to perfection with a nail file.
After experimenting with various ways to keep the rabbits, groundhogs, and other four-legged nuisances out of my garden, I hit upon a simple and absolutely free technique last spring. When the weather just begins to warm up, I put several carpet remnants out on the front porch for our two dogs to lie on. After a few weeks of lounging, I took these scraps out to the borders of the garden and replaced them with new ones on the porch. The dog scent managed to repel the marauders so well that I've hardly lost a vegetable through both the growing and harvest season.

Deer hunter bags massive feral hog in Mo.
By WES JOHNSON;
Springfield News-Leader;
A howling wind on opening day of firearms deer season made for miserable hunting conditions for Curtis "Bear" Barnett.
With no deer in sight, the Willard, Mo., hunter decided to check out some fire-control lanes cut into cedar trees on Conservation Department land near the town of Greenfield, close to Stockton Lake.
"I saw a cedar limb hanging out into one of the fire lanes about 40 or 50 yards out and saw a glimpse of something that I thought was a deer," Barnett recalled. "I walked up about 10 yards, and out came this wild hog. It was big, but at first it didn't register how big."
The first shot from his Remington 7400 .270-caliber semiauto rifle dropped the hog in its tracks. But the hog was still moving as he approached to get a better look, and Barnett put a second round into the big boar's head.
"He started pawing the ground and turned completely around in a circle till it was facing right at me," Barnett said, "I shot it again, and that one killed it. That's when I realized I only had one shell left, in my pocket. I was a little worried because what if there were other big ones around?"
A closer look revealed he had shot a massive male feral hog that Barnett estimated weighed at least 400 pounds, the likes of which he had never seen in his many years hunting in the Ozarks.
"Man, this thing was huge," Barnett said. "There was no way I was going to be able to drag this thing by myself. It was like trying to drag a boulder. That hog was like one huge muscle, and its fur was just like a wire brush, real stiff bristles. Its shoulders and head were humongous."
Despite his size — Barnett is 6 feet, 4 inches, 240 pounds — he could barely move the beast. He called his father, Curtis Barnett, also a big man, and together the two managed to hoist the hog onto their Yamaha Rhino ATV and get it to their Ford pickup. The hog was longer than the truck's tailgate.
After field dressing the pig, Barnett gave the meat to a local family who could use it to help get through the winter.
"They were there in five minutes," Barnett said. "You could tell they could use it and were very appreciative of it."
There's no lack of irony in Barnett bagging this huge feral hog. Just two months earlier, he and his dad paid $600 apiece to hunt wild hogs in Texas. They saw quite a few but neither hunter got close enough to bag one.
"It's ironic we just paid $600 and drove all the way to Texas to do this, and then I shoot one just up the road near my folks' place," Barnett said.
Fran Skalicky, a spokesman for the Missouri Department of Conservation, said photos of Barnett's hog showed it to be significantly larger than a typical adult feral hog, which average 200 to 250 pounds. Skalicky said Barnett did the right thing by shooting the hog.
"Feral hogs are of no benefit to native wildlife, and people should shoot them on sight," he said. "They are a nonnative species that can carry diseases, and they compete with native species for food. They tear up fields with their rooting and wallowing behavior and that also destroys natural habitat for native species. Feral hogs also tend to drive other species out. No natural predator in Missouri will take down a hog that size."
Arkansas regulations
Following are state regulations in Arkansas for hunting and shooting feral hogs:
On private land
Feral hogs may be killed or trapped year-round, day or night, by a landowner or anyone with the landowner's permission. Hunters do not need a hunting license to kill feral hogs on private land, but anyone who has had his or her hunting license revoked may not hunt them. All general regulations for hunting safety should be observed.
On WMAs
Hunters may kill feral hogs on Wildlife Management Areas during daylight hours during any open hunting season. They must use a weapon that is legal for that season.
? During special WMA permit hunts, only permit holders may be on the WMA.
? Feral hogs killed on WMAs can be taken for processing or left where they were shot.
? Hunters may not use dogs, bait or traps to hunt feral hogs on WMAs.
? Hunters may not hunt hogs at night on WMAs.

Watch Demi Lovato's Dancing With the Devil Music Video
Watch Demi Lovato's Dancing With the Devil Music Video
While Demi Lovato may often channel her heartbreak into emotional, beautiful ballads, her latest single is undoubtedly her most vulnerable yet. On Thursday evening, the 28-year-old singer released the long-awaited music video for "Dancing With the Devil," offering a chilling detailed look back at the night of her near-fatal 2018 overdose that led her to have three strokes and a heart attack.
The story of Lovato's relapse and overdose from that night, which she first retells in her YouTube docuseries by the same name, is re-created scene by scene in her new video. Co-directed by the singer herself, the haunting reenactment accurately depicts reality, showing Lovato partying at a bar, being rushed to the hospital, and lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life, while wearing the same clothes, makeup, and hair from the night of her overdose. "Thought I knew my limit / I thought that I could quit it / I thought that I could walk away easily / But here I am, falling down on my knees," Lovato sings alongside scenes of her screaming from a hospital bed as doctors try to restrain her.
Ahead of its release, Lovato described the cathartic process of creating the music video to Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday. "Sometimes being descriptive can be triggering, but that's the sad, sad truth of how dark it can get," she said. "That's important to give people, too." Her seventh studio album, titled Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over, also drops tomorrow on April 2, and features collaborations with Ariana Grande, Saweetie, Noah Cyrus, and more. Watch the harrowing video above.

US Official: Sanctions Contributed to Devaluation of Syrian Pound
Tuesday, 9 June, 2020 - 07:00

US Special Representative for Syria Engagement James Jeffrey said US sanctions and measures contributed to the devaluation of the Syrian pound against the dollar.
In a video meeting that was attended by his Deputy Assistant Secretary Joel Rubin on Sunday, Jeffrey said that Washington made a proposal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad through a third party to end the crisis.
Washington wants a political process that shouldn't necessarily change the regime but at least change its attitude and support of terrorist groups and Iran, he continued.
Regarding the economic crisis, he said that the US sanctions against Damascus contributed to the collapse of the Syrian current and that the regime "is incapable of managing an effective economic policy and conducting money-laundry in Lebanese banks."
Moreover, Rubin said that the Caesar Act covers individuals and companies. Responding to a question on ruling out the Kurdish administration from this act, he said that if anyone wishes to invest in energy and construction in self-administered zones then this is out of the US administration's interest.
Meanwhile, Syrian Prime Minister Imad Khamis said that stabilizing the exchange rate between 2017-2020 required USD20 billion.
Khamis added that calls are ongoing with friendly states to discuss possible ways to reinforce the lira's value.

Clopton United Methodist Church
Posted on February 27, 2019 March 3, 2019 by ML Williams
Clopton United Methodist Church was founded in the 1830s when a parcel of land was granted for the establishment of a Methodist Church. The land was donated by Anthony M Clopton born in Goochland County, Virginia, 1770. Mr. Clopton and his wife, Rhoda H Clopton, moved to this area from Davidson County, Tennessee. And, thereupon, settled on a plantation that included land in the present Clopton Community. The manor house was near the location of the present-day church.
Begining of Clopton Cemetery
Mrs. Clopton died on November 23, 1831 and was buried in an unmarked grave in the family cemetery which later became the Clopton Cemetery. Mrs. Clopton was the first to be buried on this site.
Sell of the Clopton Plantation
Later, 1844, Anthony Clopton sold the plantation to William L. Winston and moved to DeSoto County, Mississippi where he died on July 17, 1848. Heirs of the Winston plantation, originally, the Clopton Plantation later sold 346 acres to Robert Roane. In the mid-1850's the Clopton family cemetery was acquired from Mr. Roane. Some sources indicate that he gave the cemeteries to the trustees of the Clopton Episcopal Methodist Church. Other sources state that all five acres were purchased for $62. Though it is not clear when the Clopton Methodist Church was formally organized, records show Methodism had reached the area as early as 1830.
At that time, Clopton was part of the Wolf Circuit. Summer camp meetings held at the church in 1836 were directed by James McFerrin. He was the first minister on record, and he held regular services in the Clopton family home.
Clopton United Methodist Church Sign
Quarterly Conferences
The second quarterly conference, of the Wesley Circuit, held at Clopton on April 23, 1836, where Rev. McFerrin was present. Clopton paid $2.75 for the quarter. The Wesley circuit also held its fourth quarterly conference at the Clopton campground on September 7, 1839. Clopton paid $4.75 for the quarter. Several years later, 1841, Clopton held the second quarterly meeting. However, Clopton made no payment at this meeting.
Eventually, shelters were built on the campgrounds. And, in the years before the war between the states, these grounds were covered with huge, lush trees. Tipton Creek, also known as Tipton Branch, snaked its way across the land. The camp meetings held at Clopton usually lasted between ten days to two weeks. They were a refreshing social and spiritual event.

Cardinal Ranjith alleges 'deal' within govt to protect those named in Easter attacks probe report
Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith has voiced concern over the delay in bringing to justice the individuals named in the report of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry on the Easter Sunday attacks, who are accused of criminal negligence.
"We have been waiting patiently with this government which had promised us that they will do justice to us. But they have not done it," he said, speaking during a virtual discussion on Sunday (23).
He said the report of the Easter Presidential Commission of Inquiry very clearly has named a series of people as being responsible for inaction and, "allowing this group of gangsters to go ahead with the attack for their own purposes. And these people have not been brought to justice so far."
"Including the former President who now brags about himself and he says that he will not be brought to justice and all that."

Man in Arizona Accused of Leading Al-Qaida Group, Killing 2 Police Officers in Iraq
February 4, 2020US

An Iraqi man living in metro Phoenix is accused of leading an al-Qaida group that authorities say killed two police officers 14 years ago on the streets of Fallujah in attacks carried out by masked men.
Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri was arrested last week in Arizona as part of an extradition request made by the Iraqi government, which charged the 42-year-old with murder in the 2006 shooting deaths.
Court records unsealed on Feb. 3 reveal details of the two attacks in which armed men who were wearing masks jumped out of cars, fired on the officers and fled.
In the first shooting, an attacker held a gun to a witness' head, while another attacker who started to fire on a police officer experienced a malfunction with his gun. Another attacker then killed police Lt. Issam Ahmed Hussein. The witness later identified Ahmed, who wasn't wearing a mask, as the group's leader, according to court records.

Four months later, Iraqi authorities say Ahmed and other men fatally shot Officer Khalid Ibrahim Mohammad as the officer was sitting outside a store. A person who witnessed the shooting recognized Ahmed, whose mask had fallen off, as one of the assailants, according to court records.
"At this early stage we know little more than what is alleged in the the complaint, but even that is troubling," Ahmed's attorney, Jami Johnson, said in an email. "The charge appears to be based on events over 12 years old and to originate from Iraqi informants with nothing to lose and everything to gain by delivering the Trump administration a supposed 'terrorist refugee' in an election year."
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix declined to describe Ahmed's immigration status.
A court hearing for Ahmed is scheduled Tuesday in Phoenix.
The Arizona Republic has previously reported that Ahmed has been in the United States since January 2008 and ran an Arizona driving school.

So, you've got a baby on the way. Congratulations! It's a really exciting time, but it can also be daunting and nerve-wracking. There's so much to prepare for – the birth, things to buy like prams and car seats and all the rest! Plus, to top it off, you need to get your home ready for a brand new member. Let's try and take some of the stress out of the situation by sharing seven tips for setting up your pad for your little one's arrival.
Trust us, you're going to need some storage space. Newborns churn through clothes like there's no tomorrow – as there's a lot of vomit, poop and pee to clean up. You'll need to tuck away their winter clothes in summer and vice versa. That's why it's worth investing in some large plastic containers to store everything in. If you're a bit pressed for space, get creative in where you stash them. On top of cupboards, under beds and in the corner. You'll find some room!
Newborns need a lot of sleep. At first, it's going to seem like they sleep more than they do anything else! But as you probably know, it can be difficult getting to sleep when there's a lot of light. So, get some blackout blinds for your nursery. Hot tip: You can use a dark sheet in a pinch, or put some cardboard over the window.
Chances are you're both going to be very busy caring for your baby in the first few weeks of getting home from hospital, so it's a great idea to start stocking up on necessities now. Get plenty of toilet paper, toothpaste, personal hygiene products and other things that you'd usually just nip down to the shops for.
You want your nursery to be a warm, calming and inviting space that your baby will just love to be in. There's a fine line here, as too many decorations and colourful hanging things can prove overstimulating for babies. A few colourful stickers or a single mobile should do the trick. Use subdued, calming colours for your paint scheme.
You'll need to make some room to store breast milk or formula and to pop all those tasty meals that friends and families better not arrive without bringing! You'll also need some space for any medicines or supplements your baby may need in their first year or two. Sorry dad, but that twelve pack of beer may have to go.
Sooner rather than later you're going to be doing a lot more washing. As we mentioned earlier, babies go through clothes at a rapid rate, and you'll be washing yours a lot more too as you will be getting dirty far more often as well. Make sure your laundry is a lean, mean efficient machine before the bubba comes.
Once your bundle of joy starts to crawl, it's time to baby proof the space. Ensure all cupboards that contain dangerous chemicals are locked shut with a baby proof catch, and cover those powerpoints. You can get helpful baby proofing kits from most baby and hardware stores.
What are you waiting for? Start now – ensure you have adequate storage, blackout those nursery windows and get decorating. Also, stock up on essentials and clear out that fridge. Finally, organise your laundry, and consider buying a baby proof kit. And most of all, cherish these years – because you'll have a moody teen stomping around before you know it.

On his mother's side he was a Cecil: Lord Salisbury, Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister (on two occasions) in the late 19th century was his uncle. Balfour himself, throughout his political career as a member of the Conservative Party, served as Chief Secretary for Ireland, Secretary for Scotland, Lord Privy Seal, First Lord of the Admiralty, Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, the position he was holding when he signed the Balfour Declaration.
A lifelong bachelor, Balfour still fathered one disturbed child, the state of Israel. Palestinians, the Middle East and the world generally have had to live with the consequences ever since. Visiting Palestine in the 1920s for the laying of the foundation stone of the Hebrew University, he moved on to Damascus, and could not understand why the locals were angry. Besieged in his hotel room by demonstrators he saw nothing of the city, had to be surreptitiously whisked out of the hotel by a side door before being driven at speed across back roads to Beirut, from where he took passage on a ship and sailed away, still unable to understand why his visit had caused such a fuss among the Arabs.
Balfour is an interesting example of the coin with two sides, one philo-semitic and the other stamped with the familiar verbal characteristics of anti-Semitism. Philo was on display in 1917 with his emotional declarations in support of the role he was playing in what was routinely described as the return of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland. Anti reared its head in 1905 when, as Prime Minister, he spoke in support of the Aliens Bill, whose specific purpose was to prevent Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms in Russia from entering Britain.
It was not as if the Jewish presence in Britain was a new issue. In 1218 England's King Henry III had issued an edict requiring Jews to wear a badge identifying them as Jews. In July, 1290, King Edward issued another edict, expelling all Jews from England, a total number probably of about 2000. Many appear to have moved to France or the Netherlands. Others went north to Scotland. Some apparently managed to find their way back, taking anglicized names, but officially, they were banned until Oliver Cromwell allowed them to return in 1657.
In the late 19th century increased Jewish immigration drove the debate which led to the passage of the Destitute Aliens (Immigration) Act of 1893. In the Commons references were made to the 'evil' of the immigration of 'alien paupers', the agitated state of public opinion and demands that such immigration should be ended forthwith. Compared to the presence of established anglicized middle class Jews, it was pointed out that Yiddish-speaking newcomers were forming ghettos in East London, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Glasgow.
A government report published in 1894 referred back to 1886, when 'conditions' in the East End had become an issue of public interest and statements were made to the effect that a 'colony' had come into existence of foreign laborers prepared to accept lower wages and work long hours as the price of living in Britain. Their numbers were continually increasing, competition for employment leading to a situation of 'sweated' labor in London and other cities.
In the 1894 report it was found that the appeal of these 'congested districts' to Russian and Polish immigrants had not diminished. Evidence suggested that the 'foreign Jew' was 'not popular as a workman among English workmen. He is thought (not without some reason) to have no feeling for the dignity of his trade, to care little for the general standard of its organisation and to evade any agreement generally arrived at for its improvement.' Generally speaking, however, it was concluded that 'foreign Jews' were a peaceful and law-abiding community.
These somewhat veiled sentiments had been expressed openly in the 1890s when, visiting Bayreuth, Balfour remarked to Cosima Wagner, the widow of Richard, that he shared 'many of her anti-semitic postulates.' He referred to this encounter much later in conversation with Chaim Weizmann: if the point was how much he had changed since the 1890s, his statements in support of the Aliens Bill and his remarks to David Lloyd George much later, that Bolshevism could be traced back to the Jews and that they constituted a 'formidable power whose manifestations are not always attractive' indicated that, beneath the surface, he had not changed much at all.
The timeline in the early 20th century is significant. On July 7, 1902, in London, Herzl gave evidence to the Royal Commission on Alien Immigration. On October 22-23, he met the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, to discuss the establishment of a Jewish colony at Al Arish, in the Sinai peninsula, among various possibilities then being considered. In December, 1902, Chamberlain visited the British East African protectorate to discuss railway construction and colonial settlement, which was not growing as quickly as he had hoped. Between January 15-22, 1903, Herzl met senior British government officials to discuss the establishment of a commission to inquire into Jewish settlement at Al Arish. On March 27, in Cairo, he took up the subject with the Britain's Egyptian proconsul, Lord Cromer.
On April 19-20 (April 6-7 on the Russian calendar), 1903, anti-Jewish mobs ran amuck in Kishinev, now Chisinau, the capital of the Republic of Moldova but then in the Russian governorate of Bessarabia. Almost half the city's population was Jewish. After nearly three days of rioting, 49 Jews had been killed, women had been raped and a mass of Jewish property had been destroyed. The pogrom precipitated a flight of Jews towards the west, many heading for Britain.
On April 24, 1903, in London, Herzl had a meeting with the Foreign Secretary, Lord Lansdowne, and Chamberlain, who raised the possibility of Uganda as a location for Jewish settlement. Chamberlain had already thought of Finns and Indians as possible settlers: the commissioner for East Africa, Sir Charles Eliot, regarded the Finns as a maritime people whose settlement in East Africa would be completely unsuitable, while, whatever Chamberlain had in mind, white settlers would clearly resist any large-scale settlement of Indians.
Between May 11-13, 1903, Herzl was told the Al Arish project had collapsed, having been rejected by the British-dominated Egyptian government. In this period the Zionists continued to negotiate with Russia, through the anti-semitic Interior Minister, Vyacheslav von Plehve, and even with the Ottoman government. On August 14, 1903, Chamberlain offered the Zionists a form of autonomy in Uganda. On August 26, meeting in Basel, the Sixth Zionist Congress accepted the British offer on a vote of 295-178, with 98 abstentions. Herzl himself had spoken in favor, making it clear, however, that East Africa could only be a way station on the road to Palestine.
The congress established a commission to check out the lie of the land in East Africa. It had three members, Nahum Wilbusch, a Russian civil engineer, Alfred Kaiser, a Swiss scientist and explorer, and Major A. St Hill Gibbons, an African explorer and leader of the expedition. Only Wilbusch was Jewish. 'Uganda' was in fact Kenya. The 5000 square miles on offer, about 16,300 square kilometers in the cool highlands on the Uasin Gishu plateau, was prime land for colonial settlement and agricultural development. What Chamberlain had in mind was an autonomous colony with a Jewish governor but ultimately responsible to the government in London.
The news outraged the white settler community. This was their land, after all, they fumed. Lord Delamere, the president of the Planters and Farmers Federation, which had applied for an allocation of land in the region offered to the Zionists, sent an infuriated letter to The Times complaining of this plan to settle 'undesirable aliens' and 'alien Jews' in the protectorate. The flood into Kenya of people of 'that class' was sure to lead to trouble 'with half-tamed natives jealous of their rights.' In fact the 'natives' had nothing to do with this project. What they might have thought was completely out of the picture: all the 'jealousy' was coming from white settlers jealous of their 'rights.' The Kenyan highlands were 'white man's country.' And who, after all, complained the settlers, were the proprietors of East Africa but the British taxpayers?
If the government wanted to expand settlement in East Africa, Mr A. E. Atkinson told a protest meeting, 'then by all means let us have our own poor farm laborers from England.' The African Standard, the main vehicle of settler opinion, ran articles referring to the 'Jewish invasion' under such headlines as 'The Country's Death Blow', 'Goodbye East Africa', 'The Pauper Jews', along with even more venomous references. This was a bargain struck behind closed doors in Downing St. 'or was it in Lombard St?', referring to the center of London's business district. Church leaders joined in this shower of hostility to their government and what it was planning.
On July 3, 1904, Herzl died unexpectedly. The shock to the Zionists was naturally great and the blow struck to the 'Uganda' scheme, which he had strongly supported, was soon to be felt. The three commissioners appointed by the Zionist congress set off for East Africa in December, 1904, returning to Europe in March, 1905. They were accompanied on their travels by a Foreign Office official and settlers. They had to do a lot of walking, camping in the forest, and listening to the trumpeting of elephants and the roaring of lions not too far from their tents. At one stage they encountered a Masai war party, with painted faces, wearing ostrich feather plumes and monkey fur anklets and threatening them with spears before retreating.
The visit left Kaiser discouraged, Wilbusch critical and only Gibbons somewhat hopeful that the plan could succeed. They filed their report and on May 22, 1905, the Greater Action Committee of the Zionist Congress, meeting in Vienna, recommended that the plan should not proceed. Meeting in Basel between July 27 and August 2, 1905, the 7th Zionist Congress, after studying the commissioners' report, vote to drop East Africa: if there was to be a national home, it could only be in Palestine.
On October 19-20, 1905, there was a second pogrom in Kishinev, leaving 19 Jews dead and 56 injured. By this time the House of Commons had passed the Aliens Bill. Given royal assent on August 11, it was established as the Aliens Act, superseded by the Aliens Restriction Act of 1914, this in turn being replaced by the Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Act of 1919.
By 1905 the plans for Jewish settlement in Cyprus, Sinai and East Africa had all collapsed. Jews were still fleeing persecution in eastern Europe but Balfour was not willing to open Britain's doors. Intermittent debate over the Aliens Bill continued in the House of Commons from May through July. The familiar themes included the loss of jobs to 'foreign immigrants', the 'evils of overcrowding', the cost to the taxpayer of supporting improvident newcomers and the government's right to choose whom it allowed into the country, even in pressing humanitarian conditions.
As many of the 'Russians' heading for Britain were in fact Polish Jews, there could be no doubt about who Balfour really meant, despite his sophistry.
Twelve years later there was no talk of sanitary regulations and support for improvident immigrants when he handed Palestine over to the Zionists. What Britain would not allow within its own borders it did not even question when throwing open the doors to another land.
Balfour's somewhat opaque personality tended to conceal what he really thought. He mixed socially with British Jews, including the Sassoons, but his references to 'a people apart' indicated that he could not quite regard even them as fully British. In the context of nationalism, imperialism, Christianity and the concept of the Anglo-Saxon 'race' this should not be so surprising.
The anti-alien legislation passed between 1905 and 1919 had the desired effect, of severely restricting immigration, including Jewish immigration, but in different forms the story has continued down to the present day. In March, 1938, the flight of German Jews soared following Anschluss, the German annexation of Austria. Between July 6-15, 1938, the delegates of 32 countries met in France at Evian-les-Bains, on the shores of Lake Leman, to discuss the Jewish refugee crisis.
Collectively they called themselves 'the nations of asylum' but as the discussions proceeded, only Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, two of the poorest countries in the world, offered to open their doors wide to as many Jewish refugees as who could come. The rest shuffled their feet and refused to make anything more than minor adjustments to immigration quotas. Australia could not do more, and, with its 'white Australia' policy, did not want to import a race problem anyway (ignoring the gross racism of which the indigenous people of Australia were the victims); France, Holland and Belgium had reached saturation level; high unemployment precluded Canada from taking the refugees in – 'none is too many'; Britain was not a country of immigration but was prepared to make space for 200 refugees in Kenya. The US was not even represented by a government official, but, rather, by a personal friend of President Roosevelt's, Myron C. Taylor. The only adjustment it made was to assign its annual 30,000 immigration quota from Germany and Austria to Jewish refugees.
The British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, commenting on the refugee problem, said there was no territory in the British empire 'where suitable land is available for the immediate settlement of refugees in large numbers although in certain territories small-scale settlement might be practicable.' The unspoken exception was Palestine, which, occupied by Britain, was steadily filling up with Jewish refugees, legal and illegal, the occupier's distinction.
A condition of entry for such Jewish refugees as were admitted between 1933-45 was that they should not be a burden on the public purse, an issue that had been central to the debate on the Aliens Bill in 1905: as had been the case, Jewish charities stepped forward to give their guarantees.
By 1945 a permanent solution to the Jewish refugee problem was coming to rest on Palestine. The Zionists wanted unrestricted entry and did not want the refugees going anywhere else anyway, not that any 'western' countries were prepared to admit any more than a token number. President Truman's call for 100,000 refugees to be admitted to Palestine greatly irritated Britain, almost bankrupted by the war, and already hard-pressed to meet the costs of its empire.
What the record shows is that when it counted, in the early 20th century, Arthur James Balfour did nothing to help Jewish refugees fleeing from these pogroms. He supported their settlement elsewhere in the empire, but not in his country. In its essence, the Balfour Declaration was born not of humanitarian intentions but imperial considerations, to do with the conduct of the war and the post-war settlement in the Middle East. Sentiment was the mask and strategic interests the reality.
Balfour's rhetoric scarcely concealed his contradictions. He could speak with apparent emotion of Zionist aspirations while coldly dismissing the rights and interests of the Palestinian Arabs, Muslim and Christian. Regarding Jews as a 'people apart' – and one would have to think that in some sense this applied to British Jews as well as 'aliens' – his support for Zionism makes sense. As for his humanitarianism, one does not solve one humanitarian problem by creating another. Just as Balfour gained politically in 1905 by speaking against 'alien' immigration into Britain, so he gained politically in 1917 by speaking in favor of Zionism and Jewish settlement in Palestine. The long-term consequences of this 'humanitarian' gesture have been shattering.

Moving Trent Alexander-Arnold to midfield could be a masterstroke
BY James Cox
Liverpool are having an absolutely phenomenal season and Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of their standout players, that's saying a lot in a side as packed with talent as Jurgen Klopp's is.
As Alexander-Arnold's performances improve week after week, one question persists. Is he wasted at right-back?
At 21, the England international has plenty of time to adopt a new role and his range of passing and attacking ability could make him a fine central midfielder.
Liverpool's midfield trio - made up of a combination of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Adam Lallana, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner most weeks - is hugely successful so the easiest route would be to stick with the tried and tested.
However, Klopp isn't a manager who is afraid to take risk and you could also argue that this is the ideal time to test Alexander-Arnold out as a midfielder.
Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold could thrive in a new midfield role.
After all, you only need to look at Fabinho who started out as a right-back himself.
Alexander-Arnold notched up 12 assists and a goal in the Premier League last season, this term he has eight assists and two goals to his name.
Imagine what he could do from the centre of the field?
He's got the physique for it and there's no question about his passing range.
He's able to play crossfield balls, through balls and the simple pass with huge efficiency and his defensive roots would also add to a role in the middle of the park.
It's not as if it's something that Alexander-Arnold hasn't thought about either.
His idol was Steven Gerrard and he's spoken about the idea of playing in midfield in the past.
"Everything about his game I really admired," Alexander-Arnold said. "I always studied him and wanted to be like him."
With Liverpool 13 points clear at the top of the table this could be the ideal opportunity to try Alexander-Arnold out in a more advanced role.
In Liverpool's midfield three he'd have more support and while the right-back slot would need to be filled there are options.
James Milner and Fabinho are well capable of playing there while 18-year-old Neco Williams could be deserving of another chance after his display in the FA Cup win over Everton.
Converting Alexander-Arnold to midfield would be a masterstroke and even if it doesn't happen before the end of this season it would be a surprise if Klopp doesn't consider it at some point.

AEG Presents
An Evening with Will Young
Plus Special Guests
UK pop icon Will Young releases his brand new single 'All The Songs', the first track to be heard from his long awaited seventh album Lexicon set for release on June 14. 'All The Songs' arrives with an incredible, agenda-setting video directed by the legendary fashion photographer and director Rankin.
An upbeat, piano-led, dancefloor-tilted heartbreak anthem, 'All The Songs' serves as the perfect introduction to an album built around the joy of pop music, "I always say that there's no point in doing it if it's not joyous. That's been my motto: do it the way you want to do it." A motto to live by…..
The joyfulness around the making of Lexicon lit a real spark of creativity for Young and in some ways the album provides a sense of new beginnings, his first release on the independent label Cooking Vinyl has given Young a sense of liberation and freedom; Lexicon was created partly by reuniting with the team behind his 2011 album Echoes, including producers and songwriters Richard X, Jim Eliot and Mima Stilwell, and also by teaming up with the likes of Eg White (Adele, Florence + The Machine), amazing new talent Boy Matthews (ZAYN, Duke Dumont), Danny Shah (David Guetta, Kylie Minogue) and Tom Walker.
The 40 year old South London local hasn't spent the time between albums twiddling his thumbs.
Young has been working as an active and vocal campaigner for the LGBTQ movement, including the promotion of all inclusive children's books on Cbeebies, the second season of his hugely popular LGBT podcast Homo Sapiens, that he co-created and co-presents with filmmaker and friend Chris Sweeney is now out and he's already booked live dates across the summer, playing Tom Kerridge's Pub In The Park events, a celebration of the best food and music the country has to offer, as well as at Gloucestershire's Party at The Castle and Leicester Racecourse.
Will also confirms a huge 21 date UK tour, kicking off this October. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 29th March, but fans that pre-order the album from the Will Young Official Store will be able to access the tour ticket pre-sale from 9am on Wednesday 27th March.

The imaginary worlds of the Brontë children.
Brontës The British Library's
Major new exhibition
Out of this World:
Science Fiction but not as you know it
reveals the imaginary worlds of the Brontë children.
(not the Bronte Sisters)
In their childhood, Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne Brontë created imaginary countries collectively called the Glass Town Federation. Branwell and Charlotte invented the kingdom of Angria, while Emily and Anne created the world of Gondal. They became obsessive about their imaginary worlds, drawing maps and creating lives for their characters and featured themselves as the 'gods' ('genii') of their world.
Their stories are in tiny micro-script, as if written by their miniature toy soldiers.The Brontës wrote about their imaginary countries in the form of long sagas which were 'published' as hand-written books and magazines.
The Young Men's magazine (the history of which is told by Branwell in 'The History Of The Young Men From Their First Settlement To The Present Time'), contains an introduction where Branwell gives an account of the toy soldiers which gave rise to the game that resulted in creating imaginary worlds. Originally a place of fantasy, Glass Town, the capital of the Federation, assumed the characteristics of the 19th century city.
The map of Glass Town drawn by Branwell has a prototype - a map of real explorations in northern and central Africa in 1822-1824, while the hero of the saga was the real Duke of Wellington – a foreshadowing of what would later become the established genre of alternative histories. At some point Emily and Anne stopped contributing to the Glass Town and Angria stories in order to create their own imaginary world of Gondal, probably as a rebellion against their older siblings who usually gave them inferior roles to play in the games. Unfortunately, the chronicles of this imaginary place written in prose were lost and only poems are now known. As with the Glass Town writings, these poems are concerned with love and war and explore various modes of identity.
Emily Brontë's Gondal poems relate to characters in the stories, who came from either side of two warring factions. Early biographers of Emily assumed that the events described in the poems related to her own life, but instead they were figments of her extremely active imagination, and, like Wuthering Heights, not directly written from personal experience. Charlotte Brontë's poem 'The Foundling' tells the story of a young man who emigrates to Glass Town. There he gets involved in politics, falls in love and discovers that he is of a noble background.
While the sense of fantasy is strong, there are teasing examples of what might be called the beginnings of science fiction."I hope the exhibition at the British Library will challenge what people think of as science fiction and show that it is not a narrow genre, but something that appears in many times, cultures, and literary forms. It embraces works of utopian and speculative fiction that many people may not consider as 'Science Fiction', such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, George Orwell's 1984 and Audrey Niffeneger's The Time-Traveler's Wife."

Charlotte Bronte visit to the Lake District.
Charlotte Bronte stayed at Brierly Close in August 1850, seeing the Lake District for the first time. She found the countryside 'exquisitely beautiful'. It was here that she met the novelist Elizabeth Gaskell. The two became such firm friends that Mrs Gaskell wrote the first biography of Charlotte Bronte.
Published on June 2006
A previously unpublished letter by Charlotte Brontë, author of Jane Eyre, is expected to fetch up to £15,000 at auction after surfacing among a pile of papers in an attic.
The 1850 missive to William Smith Williams, her publisher's reader, contains forthright views on literary and society figures of her day and her love of the Lake District.
Bronte writes that during a visit to the Lakes, she met future biographer, Elizabeth Gaskell: "I like her very much; her manner is kind, candid and unassuming." The letter was penned three years after Jane Eyre's publication. The letter was found in the attic of a house in a village on the Sussex- Surrey border.
CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S first interest in the Lake District must have been awakened when she wrote to Southey in 1837, and afterwards to Wordsworth and Coleridge. Southey had pressed a wish to see her if she visited the English Lakes. In those days money was not too plentiful at the Haworth parsonage, and much as Charlotte Bronte would have liked to pay a^visit to the Lake District it was all but impossible.
Alas ! when she did get an opportunity of going, Southey had been dead for seven years, Hartley Coleridge had recently died in 1849, and Wordsworth in April, 1850, so that the poets in whom she was specially interested had all passed away.
As Branwell Bronte had been at Broughton-in-Furness in 1839, and had visited Hartley Coleridge,
Charlotte Bronte would have heard something of the beauties of the English Lakes at least ten years before she herself became a guest at Briery Close, Windermere.
The English Lake District, so redolent of the poets associated with its name, was an ideal spot for Charlotte Bronte to visit, and, although she had been away from home for six weeks in the June and July of 1850, her father persuaded her to accept an invitation from Sir James Kay Shuttleworth
and Lady Shuttleworth to a house known as Briery Close, which they ad rented on the shores of Lake Windermere, just above the little landing stage at Low-wood. The house is still there, but it has been recently altered; it had been renovated previously and enlarged, so that it is a more palatial mansion than when Charlotte Bronte visited it. The house is sheltered by trees, and is approached from the shore of Lake Windermere by a steep, winding path. The view from the house is the same as in Charlotte Bronte's days, and Coniston Old Man and Langdale Pikes can be seen overlooking the lake. Dove Nest,
where Felicia Hemans lived, can be seen among the trees in the distance, and the view, up and down the lake, is magnificent.
Sir James Kay Shuttleworth, who knew Mrs. Gaskell in Manchester, before he was acquainted with Charlotte Bronte, had invited the author of Mary Barton to meet the writer of Jane Eyre. One who was present to meet the two novelists at this time described Charlotte Bronte as extremely nervous
and shy, looking as if she would be glad if the floor would open to swallow her, whilst Mrs. Gaskell sat bright, cheerful, and quite at ease. Hitherto the two writers had not met. Charlotte Bronte did not approach the house from the lake, but from Windermere Station, the railway having been opened in 1847.
Windermere Station
She arrived at Briery Close on 18th August, 1850, and Mrs. Gaskell a day later. Sir James K. Shuttle wroth never seemed weary of inviting Charlotte Bronte and trying to give her pleasure; he had written two novels himself, Scars dale, dealing with the Lancashire border, and Ribblesdale. Charlotte Bronte
seemed to be nervous in his company, though she tried to appreciate his kindness, and he certainly was very good to her.
Fortunately Mrs. Gaskell wrote a long descriptive letter concerning her first meeting with Charlotte Bronte. It has been said that Mrs. Gaskell did not keep a regular diary, but she did, perhaps, what was better: she made notes of her visits to distinguished people, and she wrote long letters to her husband
and others, which were of great use when she needed material for her stories. Had she known that she was to be the biographer of Charlotte Bronte, she could scarcely have been more particular in recording her impressions of her friend. This will readily be admitted by reference to her letters.
Much as Charlotte Bronte enjoyed the scenery, " My visit passed off very well ; I am very glad I went.

The history of this photograph.
This photograph - held to be a photograph of Charlotte Brontë (died 1855) taken during her honeymoon in 1854 - is by Sir Emery Walker, died July 22d, 1933.

http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20089747,00.html
The photograph is believed to have been taken during a serene period in Charlotte's life—about the time of her marriage in 1854, at age 38, to the Rev. Arthur Bell Nicholls. Charlotte's happiness was brief; she died nine months after the marriage, as a result of complications of a pregnancy. The photo—a glass-copy negative made by Sir Emery Walker (1851-1933) some years after the original was taken—is thought to be a companion piece to a honeymoon photo and is marked with Charlotte's name on the back. It surfaced in early October at an exhibition of family portraits that were on loan from the National Portrait Gallery to the Brontë museum, which is located at the family home in Haworth, Yorkshire. The Gallery had discovered the picture when members of the staff belatedly got around to cataloging a collection of glass negatives, which they had rescued from the Walker estate in 1956. (A flood in the basement fortunately speeded up the work.)
In 1986, the Bronte Society received a bequest of Mrs. Seton Gordon, the granddaughter of George Smith, publisher of Charlotte. She said her grandfather, eager to collect memorabilia from the authors he published, had accumulated letters, drawings and manuscripts. Forgotten among this collection was a small photo-card in sepia on the back, the words "Within a year of CB's death and accompanied by a letter from Emery Walker dated January 2, 1918, which showed clearly that it s'agisait of the original glass negative that is at the NPG.

When the giant Airbus A380 made its maiden flight on 27 April, the airlines' publicity focused on plans to install bars, beauty salons, gymnasiums and even double beds on board. But there was little mention of one less glamorous fact. The A380's ability to carry twice the number of passengers as many of today's planes will almost double the chances that on any given flight someone will need urgent medical attention. Yet the air transport industry appears unprepared for this, New Scientist has discovered.

Q: Databases with utilization constraints I have a web-based application that allows users to create their own complicated queries using a simplified scripting language and GUI. Problem is - sometimes my users are well, not so bright. Often, they'll create a query that does massive joins, or employs pointless comparisons over large datasets that quickly consumes most of the available resources on the machine. In effect, a small amount of folks are ruining the party for everyone else. Training or banning these "special" users isn't an option.
So here's my question: Are there any databases (NoSQL or SQL, or anything really) that support resource constraints on a per query basis?
Limiting CPU utilization would be bare minimum, but other constraints like execution time, memory usage and rows-returned limits would be nice too. It'd be especially handy if I could programmatically specify limits so I could target my problem users.
EDIT: Extra points for opensource and/or free products.
EDIT2: Found some related questions, that make it clear that Oracle supports some sort of resource-limiting scheme, but are there any other products that do? Just Oracle and SQL Server?
https://serverfault.com/questions/124158/throttle-or-limit-resources-used-by-a-user-in-a-database
Is there a way to throttle or limit resources used by a user in Oracle?

A: SQL Server 2008 supports a resource governor:

Resource Governor is a new technology
  in SQL Server 2008 that enables you to
  manage SQL Server workload and
  resources by specifying limits on
  resource consumption by incoming
  requests. In the Resource Governor
  context, workload is a set of
  similarly sized queries or requests
  that can, and should be, treated as a
  single entity. This is not a
  requirement, but the more uniform the
  resource usage pattern of a workload
  is, the more benefit you are likely to
  derive from Resource Governor.
  Resource limits can be reconfigured in
  real time with minimal impact on
  workloads that are executing.
Resource Governor provides:

*

*The ability to classify incoming connections and route their workloads
  to a specific group.

*The ability to monitor resource usage for each workload in a group.

*The ability to pool resources and set pool-specific limits on CPU usage
  and memory allocation. This prevents
  or minimizes the probability of
  run-away queries.

*The ability to associate grouped workloads with a specific pool of
  resources.

*The ability to identify and set priorities for workloads.

Ref.

A: Resource constraints may ease your problem, but I think that the problem behine the situation is the unpredictable usage of resources.
When database is executing queries, database need to load data into memory and lock resources to maintain the consistent of status.
Whatever the constraint system can do, the unpredictable behavior in internal mechanism of database is the most risky thing you should concern.
If I'm facing this kind of situation, I would try to figure out what the user really need and provide more precise query(in some table, or some conditions of data) for it.
If nothing can do, however, I would try to clone(replication) the database for heavy-used user.

Marotta Controls Adds Additive Manufacturing to Expanding List of Capabilities
Marotta Controls reports that they have successfully integrated additive manufacturing (AM) into its portfolio of services. The company validated the capability's viability by using its now patented method to create internal features of an advanced manifold valve. The selective laser sintering (SLS) design technique generated nuanced radial passages in various geometries not possible to achieve via traditional machine boring methods. Given this, the new manifold valve delivered increased velocity pressure control.
Marotta also confirmed that it is incorporating AM to reduce parts, simplify assembly and shorten lead times to deliver lower cost, higher performing products.
"We have a near 80-year culture of creative thinking, of challenging the status quo," said Brian Fly, vice president Marine Systems, Marotta Controls. "And we're proud to confirm that that mindset resulted in a remarkable evolution to a tried and true part used for generations. Additive manufacturing offers some very interesting opportunities that we're inherently designed to embrace on behalf of our customers. We anticipate more unique, disruptive innovations to come out of this capability as we continue to apply it."
Additive manufacturing has long been touted across many industries as a smart way to accelerate the supply chain, initially used as a rapid tooling solution for custom injection mold creation and the like. Notably, a 2020 market report by Mordor Intelligence forecasted that the aerospace and defense market's use of 3D printing will experience a 20 percent CAGR by 2025. This trend will only likely increase as military standards continue to adapt not just to the manufacturing process itself, but to the use of the necessary composite materials, too.
Proof of Concept: The Manifold Valve
Marotta Controls first came into existence troubleshooting valve designs that, despite being accepted as proven parts, continued to leak in end applications. The company ultimately fixed these issue and others, establishing itself as a go-to engineering shop capable of solving difficult problems. Which is why the company took on the challenge of improving the manifold's performance in high pressure applications—a problem that required re-evaluating how and where best to apply Bernoulli's equation within the system's design.
Early manifold iterations saw performance increases driven by the introduction of new materials, chamber reconfigurations, and other mechanical adaptations. These solutions launched new product lines for Marotta that were customizable to a wide range of standards for military as well as commercial applications. However, the company still saw additional areas for innovation.
Valves and manifolds are historically produced via subtractive machining, with boring tools removing unwanted material to construct their radial passages within a single metal block. The radial passages are typically cylindrical or slightly frustoconical in nature. This design approach allows for passages that expand in two dimensions. By introducing a third dimension through AM, however, Marotta has improved those passage features to achieve desired performance.
Marotta's patented approach starts with a 3D CAD model of choice that can meet varying ranges of end application specifications. Via the SLS machine, powdered metal is fused together layer by layer to construct a solid, single-pieced component with three-dimensional passage structures that can vary in shape—diamond, horizontal dome, spindle, branch-like, and others.
Marotta has evaluated its 3D valve concept in more than a dozen design configurations, with the passage structures varying. Velocity improvements are notable as is the part's impact on the overall manifold's production and performance.

How does plant biodiversity affect forage production?
Plants have a fundamental role. In general, they are important in ecosystems because they allow the presence of herbivores, contribute to pollination and help water infiltration, among other benefits, which has a positive impact on habitats by functioning more efficiently.
However, what happens in the production of fodder for animal feed? Plant biodiversity has benefits for the rural environmentbut not always in relation to this production, which may decrease, according to the Biodiversity Exploratories research, carried out in 150 natural grasslands not located in crop fields and located in meadows where cattle enter for their food or the vegetation is mowed to make fodder for animal feed. These plots, in which the plant species are those that live in the ecosystem naturally, are representative of the different types of central Europe and are located in the German regions Schwäbische Alb in the south of the country, Hainich-Dün in the central area and that of the Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve, the latter located north of Berlin. The research, in total, analyzes 16 different ecosystem services (benefits that ecosystems provide to society).
The study, which began ten years ago, reflects that lThe diversity of plants in the same plot can have negative effects on production. "For forage for animal feed, it is better to have a few highly productive species than many different species," says Hugo Saiz, "María Zambrano" researcher at the University of Zaragoza, who has collaborated on this research.
Thus, the diversity of plants would reduce the provisioning ecosystem service by 29%(quality and quantity of forage). However, the quality and quantity of forage depend 49% on the intensity of agricultural activity (includes the use of fertilizers, grazing and number of harvests per year). "The effects are always positive because more agricultural intensity increases the amount of fodder." However, if both variables are related, it is observed that diversity is three times more important than agricultural intensity.

The decrease in forage production due to the greater biodiversity of plants would be offset by other positive effects by putting cattle in and/or fertilizing some species, specifically those that grow faster and produce more forage. Positive effects on pollinators, pest control or soil fertility are also observed.
In addition, the study, which analyzes both the prairie itself and the surrounding land, shows that the diversity around the plot does have a positive effect because "it surely acts as a habitat for beneficial species such as pollinators or pest biocontrols", adds Hugo Saiz. Specifically, the decrease in quality and quantity of forage, taking into account the diversity of the environment, would be 8%. In this way, "promoting plant diversity is positive for all social groups in rural areas, without detriment to farmers," says the researcher.
The research also analyzes the natural species of the grasslands to find out which are the most productive. "The species that produce the most dan are, above all, grasses such as lolium perenne (commonly called ryegrass or English grass, among other names) and poa pratensis (spikelet or Kentucky blue grass), as well as some legumes such as trifolium repens (white clover)", says the researcher.
Plant biodiversity would have even more positive effects. For example, the diversity of plant species in the same meadow would have a 26% beneficial impact on surface regulating ecosystem services(pollination and presence of pests), a percentage that would be 13% if attention is paid to the biodiversity of the environment.
In the case of underground regulating ecosystem services(fertility and accumulation of soil water), the contribution of biodiversity would be equally positive: 2% if the plot itself is attended to and 5% in the surrounding meadows.

The positive effects of biodiversity are also observed in other ecosystem services, such as cultural (diversity of birds and flowers, which attracts tourists). The contribution would be 6%, taking into account the local environment and 33% in the areas around the meadows. "More diversity of plants increases the tourist attraction", explains the researcher. Precisely, this would attract more tourists and boost the rural environment.
A statement that is verified in the survey of 321 people (farmers, hunters or tourists, among others), also carried out within the framework of this research to assess the demand for the different ecosystem services by the main interest groups of the plots in the study areas. This survey suggests that plant biodiversity has benefits for entire rural communities(from farmers to hoteliers". For example, "people preferred to walk through places with more flowers and more colors because they thought it was more beautiful. The different colors are related to more diversity of plants. They are more attractive places for tourists".
The results of this research are important because both biodiversity and species diversity are analyzed, in addition to be useful for the management of rural areas by highlighting the importance of different plant species and ecosystems for the inhabitants of the areas. "Information is key so that managers can make more beneficial decisions for rural areas."
After the analysis of the data, the study, whose results could be extrapolated to other European regions, will continue. until the year 2026 in order to start seeing temporal trends to, for example, observe if any field improves if the management is done by the owner or if it is not fertilized or to know if the plots that have stopped being used are recovered, among other aspects.

Q: How to change build path for react-app-rewired I am trying to change the build path for react-app-rewired in the file config-overrides.json as mentioned here.
module.exports = {
    paths: function (paths, env) {
        paths.appBuild = 'C:\\Projects\\jhipster\\src\\main\\webapp\\app';
        return paths;
    }
};

But it is not taken into consideration, and I receive the following error:
Could not find a required file.
Name: index.html
Searched in: C:\Projects\jhipster\public

I have hardcoded the path directly just to test if it's working.
Am I omitting something?

A: The problem actually isn't related to the build path. The problem is that React expects there to be a public/index.html file but can't find any such file. I'm guessing you've either renamed the public folder or moved index.html somewhere else.
Solution: tell react-app-rewired where to find index.html.
// config-overrides.json
module.exports = {
    paths: function (paths, env) {
        paths.appBuild = 'C:\\Projects\\jhipster\\src\\main\\webapp\\app';
        // Tell the app where our public folder is
        paths.appPublic = 'path_to_public_folder';
        // Tell the app where our index.html is

An ex-Jesus man, he had been a True Blue, been ploughed for the Army, studied medicine, and travelled pretty widely, until having been a brilliant failure he had drifted into journalism, like so many other men have drifted, commencing as an outside contributor, or "liner," and eventually, by dint of the swiftness and marvellous tact and ability with which he got at the bottom of the inquiries he made, he joined the regular staff of a popular evening sheet—which, by reason of having once tried the experiment of printing on scented paper, was known in press circles as "The Stinker"—and subsequently became chief of the reporting staff of the Comet—as smart a staff as could be found in London. ...It looked strange and weird, a red spot in the darkness at the end of the room; but what was stranger and more amazing was a discovery I made a moment later when, my eyes having grown used to the semi-obscurity of the room, I discerned two human forms, one that of a woman lying back in an armchair as if asleep, and the other a man, who had fallen close by and was lying outstretched upon the carpet.
About William Le Queux, the Author:
He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. ...Le Queux mainly wrote in the genres of mystery, thriller, and espionage, particularly in the years leading up to World War I, when his partnership with British publishing magnate Lord Northcliffe led to the serialised publication and intensive publicising (including actors dressed as German soldiers walking along Regent Street) of pulp-fiction spy stories and invasion literature such as The Invasion of 1910, The Poisoned Bullet, and Spies of the Kaiser.
