Q: Android application doesnot show data from webserver I want to develop an android application which fetches data from web server (my free domain account on www.byethost.com) and displays it on my android application in a List view. The problem which i faced from last 5 days is that when i run my PHP script on localhost(WAMP) and call this from emulator using this link http://10.0.2.2/demo.php it runs fine.But when i place this script on free domain panel and call from this link http://zamin.byethost14.com/demo.php it doesnot show anything on my real device which is connected to my PC using USB cable. Since last 5 days i have searched many links but it doesnot show any information which is relevant to my problem. Thanking you in Advance.

The NSW North Coast show circuit: Bulahdelah to the Queensland border
/ By Kim Honan

There are 23 local agricultural shows held during the year on the NSW North Coast from Bulahdelah to Murwillumbah. (Kim Honan)
abc.net.au/news/agricultural-show-season-on-the-nsw-north-coast/6391088
There is nothing like the sounds, smells and sights of your local agricultural show.
Whether you are lured in by waffles eaten to the soundtrack of whip cracking or wood chopping or you grab a dagwood dog or corn cob as you hear cattle bellowing.
The sideshow alley and rides light up your eyes, the craft and cakes are enough to make your jaw drop, dahlias that would turn even the greenest-thumbed gardeners green-eyed, steak sandwiches to make your mouth water, and poultry so fancy that you cannot believe your eyes.
The shows are a culmination of thousands of hours of hard work by dedicated volunteers, matched in turn by the time spent preparing exhibit entries - handiwork or heifer - by members of the local community.
The show season is well and truly underway with hundreds held across the country each year.
Along the northern coastal strip of New South Wales, from Bulahdelah to the Queensland border, there are 23 agricultural shows spread across the year ranging from one-day to three-day events.
The first show on the calendar is Camden Haven in Kendall, south of Port Macquarie, in February and the final show of the season is in Dorrigo, west of Coffs Harbour, on the last weekend in November.
Historically the oldest show in the region is the Grafton Show in the Clarence Valley with 2016 marking its 150th year. This year Wingham and Lismore shows both have significant milestones and celebrate 130 years.
But no local show is the same. There are shows that draw stronger entries in certain exhibits, cattle for instance, while others have had to introduce new events to get people through the gates.

My second Brick Link order for this thing came in yesterday. With all the new parts I managed to finish it.
This is the S-143 White Widow, the first Assyrian Spider Tank design.
The purpose of this vehicle is to be a mobile platform to deliver heavy weapons to the battlefield even over hostile or urban terrain.
Unlike normal tanks, this can lift itself over huge obstacles, or even be used to shield infantry units from aerial bombardment.
Now, let's take a look at its weapons.
The front of the tank can open up to reveal a missile rack.
It has 8 MKII Missiles, and two Light Laser Cannons mounted in here.
The middle dish is actually a hatch for the crew. The compartment can hold up to 4 minifigures, but the tank only needs a crew of 2. The pilot takes care of driving and the weapons in the front, the gunner mans the turret.
The tank can move its legs in a number of different ways. For example, I don't know why you would want it to sit down like this, but it can if you need it to.
It can also assume an ultra-low stance while still being able to drive thanks to the wheels on the ends of the feet.
Back down safely on the other side. Problem Immortal Attackers?
- The wheels can fold under the feet to be stood on sideways, but it turns out this doesn't lend to good balance. I've found it is best to just keep them in the driving mode that you have seen in these pictures.
- The tank is too heavy for the joints in the legs. It can be balanced high or low, but sometimes it just wants to fall on the ground. If I had it to do over, I would make another pair of legs. The Technic joint method I used is very maneuverable but the tank is so heavy that it wants to push them around.
Anyway, that there is one hell of a spider tank! Amazing work! Also, the whole climbing over the death wall thing is great.
Awesome. The silhouette has a great shape and the turret is amazing.
I- um- wow. That is seriously awesome. I agree with Oneeye, it's shape is... memorable, to say the least.
Whoah. Very, very nice work. Love the shape, especially the legs. Everything about this just looks so sleek, great job!
Ah, but can it speak in a cutesy little girl voice?
probably your best work so far.
Also, I spy rear hatches.
The Scythian/Assyrian arms race, it may have started with the Super Death Tanks, but now you have spider tanks too?
So much win. So much. The ability for it to lower itself all the way to the ground would be handy for storage in a space transport. Or, more importantly, crushing any infantry who try to sneak underneath and destroy the legs. Now the spider can squish the people!
Nothing would be more frightening than a group of these scaling your walls.
Am I the only one who thinks this would make for a great scene in a movie?
Stupidity aside, this is a great tank. Personnally I'd prefer it a six legger to be more spidery-looking, but that's just my aesthetic preference. Now go and make at least 2 more!
It looks awesome and seems amazingly functional, but I feel like it needs moar dakka. Maybe add a pair of mandible-cannons, or a rear-mounted razor wire dispenser to discourage pursuit?

If I ever make a bigger one it will have 6 legs, but for now this is it.
As much as I dislike insects and mechs and combination's of the two objects even I think this is awesome.


I've just finished working on my stretchy stick, 'nobebera', and now the mossies are driving me inside. It's time for dinner and I have most of the makings of an okonomiyaki pancake on hand, but I'm going to make an Oka version.
Okonomiyaki is an interesting compound word, that has come to mean 'pancake' in common parlance, but if you break it down, okonomi can mean 'your choice', and yaki can mean 'cooked'. So it has come to mean that you can make a pancake out of what ever you want to put in it.
I like that kind of recipe. I don't have all the things that usually go into an okonomiyaki, but it's my choice, so I will use what I have. Plenty of vegetables, held together with a bit of egg.
Okonomiyaki, can also mean 'a stupid thing, of, my, pottery'. This could be a term used to describe my meagre efforts on the potters wheel here in Arita, so I have an affinity.
It's quick, it's fresh and it's reasonably healthy. What more can you ask? I don't have some of the normal essentials here in my tiny kitchen. I haven't bought any mayonnaise and I don't have any Japanese 'tonkatsu', BBQ style sauce, or any nagaimo, long yam root, but as the name implies, it's my choice so I have what I want.
What I really like about this is that, apart from being really tasty, it is a one pan meal, so just right for my tiny kitchen, and so little washing up!
This could be enough for 2 helpings, but I manage to eat it all. I even have some bonito flakes to put on top. I love the way that they quiver around in excitement at the thought of being eaten! They know that they are delicious.

Tanvi's Story: Punches, Kicks and Self-Discovery
Uma and Krishnan Chidambaram have been Pratham supporters since 2014, when they were introduced to the organization by a friend. Last fall, they decided to visit a Pratham program during their family trip to India. They wanted to witness our work firsthand and meet some of the children whose lives they help transform.
Inspired to make a deeper connection, their sixteen-year-old daughter, Tanvi, suggested the idea of hosting a workshop. "I have been doing taekwondo for twelve years," she explains. "It initially began as a pastime but quickly changed into my passion." Earlier this month, after a few months of planning, she finally had the opportunity to share this passion with a group of ten- and eleven-year-old girls in a Pratham program for children 3-14 at a government-run school in Bangalore.
"I was worried whether they would like me, or listen to me, or even want to learn taekwondo," the Houston native admits. "All of these thoughts left my mind the instant I saw their faces when I stepped out of the car. They were eager to learn, excited to hear about this new concept called 'taekwondo.' But most of all, they were accepting and invited me into their homes with open arms."
The three-day workshop in June focused on three main aspects of the Korean martial art: punches, kicks and self-defense. "Taekwondo has brought me confidence, taught me discipline, and given me power," says Tanvi. "I believe these qualities are qualities that every child should have the opportunity to learn, especially girls.
Initially concerned that the language barrier would hinder the learning process, Tanvi soon realized that the martial art itself is what would bond them: "They pushed me out of my comfort zone, eventually pushing me to speak Tamil with them, as I pushed them to truly engage with the power they hold within themselves."
For Tanvi, leading the course in India was more rewarding than monetary support. "Donation is one part of this process," she acknowledges. "However, being able to physically see what the money is put into and the lives it affects is another."

Our third president sought to separate the words of Jesus from the 'corruptions' of his followers.
(The Wall Street Journal) Last November, in response to protest, the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery removed a video installation depicting ants crawling over a small crucifix. This coming November, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History will exhibit a cut-and-paste Bible of a mere 86 pages. Were it the work of David Wojnarowicz (the artist behind the crucifix video) or Andres Serrano (of "Piss Christ" fame), this Bible would doubtless stir up a hornet's nest. But in fact, it was created by Thomas Jefferson.
During the election of 1800, Jefferson was denounced as a "howling atheist" and "a confirmed infidel" known for "vilifying the divine word, and preaching insurrection against God." But the Virginian also revered Jesus as "the first of human Sages" and was, according to one biographer, "the most self-consciously theological of all American presidents."
The book that the Smithsonian is preparing to put on display is actually one of two Jefferson Bibles. Jefferson produced the first over the course of a few days in 1804. Not long after completing the Louisiana Purchase, he sat down in the White House with two Bibles and one razor, intent on dividing the true words of Jesus from those put into his mouth by "the corruptions of schismatising followers."

Andy Marlette: First lady's financials fair game
Andy Marletteamarlette@pnj.com
Oh snap, y'all! Things have gotten a bit snippy between Florida's leading gubernatorial contenders.
In adherence to the sickening election year ritual of rich white men worming their way into elected office, Gov. Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist exposed themselves last week.
No, not in that way. They exposed their digits.
No, not those digits. Their financial digits.
The two rivals laid themselves bare before God, man and alligators by disclosing their federal tax returns publicly. And being that both of them are millionaires, we po' folks would assume that they had nothing to be ashamed of.
Which is certainly true for Gov. Scott, who's clocked in at a sweet, 1-percenter's net worth of roughly $132.7 million. Shoot, I'd be proud of that number. Besides, he's a Republican. Guys like him don't apologize for their wealth. They use it when they run out of Charmin.
Former Gov. Crist, however, is a red-tie-wearer no longer. He's a Democrat now, which means he took a solemn party pledge to shed a tear, wash a homeless man's feet and flog one's self every time you dump another million into an offshore tax haven. To get Clintonian about it, he's got to "feel your pain."
But the only pain Crist was feeling last week were the faux pangs of an offended sense of fair play when Scott's campaign called him out for not releasing his wife's tax returns along with his own.
"Leave the wives out of this!" huffed the Crist camp. According to them, this election is a gentlemen's duel, a battle between bros, hombre-a-hombre, mano-a-mano and all that jazz. Thus, the gentler, better halves aren't fair game.
Nonsense.
First of all, the protectionism of females offends my feminist convictions. This is politics. From Cleopatra to Hillary Clinton, this is the one battlefield where the fairer sex is also entirely capable of being the deadlier one.
Besides, Scott already released his wife's financial documents. Our current governor hasn't exactly run the most transparent administration in Florida history, but on this issue, to Scott's credit, he's laid it all out there.
Gov. Crist should match his move. Not out of gamesmanship. Out of propriety.
It's entirely plausible that a wife could serve as a corrupting influence a politician's impropriety. Just read Macbeth.
Not that we'd ever assume or suspect the worst about the sunny Gov. Crist and his lovely wife, Carole. But he should just take the element of assumption out of the equation. He should show us the digits.

Lineages for American Loyalist and Scottish Immigrants
Yarmouth Nova Scotia Genealogies, by George S. Brown, and Nova Scotia Immigrants to 1867, by Leonard Smith Jr. and Norma H. Smith, are two prime sources for tracking ancestors in or from Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia's earliest immigrants included Loyalists from America's Thirteen Colonies and families from Scotland. Here are two sources for locating them.
Yarmouth Newspaper Genealogy Columns Name 60,000 Immigrants
George Brown's newspaper columns, published between 1896 and 1910 in the Yarmouth (Nova Scotia) Herald, dwelt almost exclusively on New England families who migrated to Nova Scotia around the time of the Revolutionary War. Many, of course, were Loyalists who supported England in that war and were pressured to leave the American colonies.
An interesting aside is that many of these families descended from the Mayflower pilgrims. Brown traced these families from their earliest known origins across the Atlantic to the end of the 19th century. In effect, these collected columns published in book form in 1993 are a virtual encyclopedia of Nova Scotia families.
Who's Who of Nova Scotia Families
The list of families covered reads like a Who's Who of Nova Scotia families, many with descendants who not only returned to the United States, but also spread across English-speaking Canada.
Brown's 186 articles were put together as a collection by Martha and Bill Reamy, who copied them verbatim and indexed them. The articles give a wide variety of genealogical data for 60,000 individuals. The resulting 956-page book was issued in 1993 by the Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, MD, and can be purchased from online booksellers.
Nova Scotia Immigrants
There are very few published resources on Nova Scotia immigrants prior to Canadian confederation in 1867. To help rectify this situation, Col. Leonard H. Smith, a certified genealogist, and Norma H. Smith, decided to pull scattered resources together. During the decade they devoted to this project, they constructed a vast index to Nova Scotia families.
Data was gathered from a wide range of sources in the archives of Nova Scotia as well as Fredericton, Ottawa, and other locations.

Thinking about the perfect house that we can call 'home' and that emit that kind of comfort that a 'home' should, always brings a different kind of view in mind, and makes our minds wander in a different direction. While to some of us, it might mean villas and penthouses, to most it gets painted in form of a small beautiful building, having a garden, some plants, maybe a small patio, and an awning. The kids playing around with the miniature basketball court accessories, and the couple sipping their hot beverages while calling out the kids to be safe, is almost everyone's core fantasy.
If we think about it, adding a patio to our beloved dreamhouse might cost a fortune, depending upon the area that we live in, but if we are ready to compromise a bit, a garden awning can add the desired tinge of perfection to our wishes.
Use the space below the awning as a place to keep sofa set and let your guests be mesmerised by the beauty of it.
Spread out on the terrace, and use it as your personal picnic spot.
Some lights here and there, to bring festivity to your place all year around.
Add some bells, DIYs, to bring your entire place to life. Don't forget to fill in colors while doing this.
Put a recliner or two and add some speakers to keep the party going. Some folding chairs won't use up much space but add to the sitting space.
Use the space for keeping the bikes, folding chairs, etc.
While all the aforementioned points might seem really simple to-dos, they are meant to definitely add liveliness to your home and to always keep the spirits high in some or other ways. These small things might actually transform your life and the way you have been looking at life till date.
While the garden awnings used to be available only in stripes and checks patterns a few years ago, there are many options available now (more than you can actually imagine), and if you do not like any of them, just get a solid colored (or mildly checkered) cloth and paint it as per your own imagination and expectations, throw in some DIYs, some decoratives, maybe some lights, etc. and you have the subtle excellence ready and waiting for you and your family.
With all that in place, the most important thing is the prevalent laughter and peace at your place. The decoratives, festivities bring with them, a level of positivity and should be taken a bit more seriously than they already are. With positivity, we attract growth, smiles, and success. So, you see the tad bit conscious effort in decorating your home for good can do you more good that it looks like.
Now, don't just ponder upon it. Go, redecorate and be positive!

Conscious Rap (CR) Releases A New Track "Feels Like Something" From His New Album "LO
Conscious Rap (CR) has released a new track entitled Feels Like Something which features Singer/Songwriter Kimie Chen. The track is apart of the album LOVE PEACE & BEATZ.
CR was born and raised in Elizabeth New Jersey. He's of Haitian descent. Graduated with honors from New Jersey City University in 2017 with a Psychology degree. He gave his life to music completely in 2016 when he started Jump Out The Frame Records, but music has always been in his life since he was 8 years old. He raps and sings, so he considers himself a rap-singer. He never spits other people's bars and he writes all his own material. His major influences are Jay Z, Nas, Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Chris Brown, and of course Tupac. His sound can not fit into a box because he's constantly playing with his voice doing different accents and different pitches to capture his character on whatever song he's creating. He's one of one when it comes to where he stands in today's musical climate.
His track Feels Like Something is a major achievement. It sounds and feels real. The backing track, the hook by Kimie Chen and his superb flow and vocals all contribute to this great project. CR is going places and this track is the proof.


One of the biggest problems of text based supportive media (p2) [your "presentation"] is that the audience pay more attention to it than to you. This has been discussed in many posts and principally is a problem because the audience has to make sense of text, in a logical order and this takes concentration. A simple test of how difficult they find to do that and listen to you is to put up the best slide in the world and see how they respond.
The best slide in the world is full of colour, it is dynamic, it evolves in front of your eyes, it is instantly memorable and deeply personal. Of course there is no text in it but it is totally contextual. You can use this slide in any presentation you give and every time you use it is is fresh and vital. The audience will never become bored of the use of this slide within a presentation even if they have been exposed before to the best slide in the world ever. You can show it more than once in a presentation for additional effect. We all have the ability to use this slide but few are brave enough, few understand its power and yet many long for it.
The best slide in the world, ever, is in the minds of your audience when you turn the screen blank.
When the screen blanks the minds of the audience are liberated to think, to wonder, to dream, to question, to articulate, to extrapolate, to remember, to question, to confirm, to consider, to reject, to concentrate, to agree, to be moved. No other slide, ever, has the ability to do that. And whilst they are you doing all these things, you have the privilege of leading their thoughts.
That is the best slide in the world, ever.
@prezentationskills tip: an easy way to "blank" the screen is simply to press "b" on the keyboard. this will turn the screen black. be careful that in a poorly lit auditorium this may plunge everything including you into darkness so alternatively press "w" for a white screen. To return to your presentation press the same key again.

This book was required for class (my last class!!), but it was an interesting and timely read. Although it was published in 2012, it is still relevant with how healthcare functions in America today. How We Do Harm by Otis Webb Brawley, MD is an insider look at various aspects of healthcare from a doctor's perspective. Brawley is currently the Chief Medical Officer of the American Cancer Society and spent years working at Emory and Grady Memorial Hospital here in Atlanta. He goes through various case studies and examples of how the healthcare system fails patients in all aspects – medically, in research, financially, and through insurance. And unfortunately not much has changed since he wrote this book. It was eye opening. Anyone who has to see a doctor, especially for something serious, likes to think that doctor is giving good advice that will benefit you best as a patient, but Brawley shows that is not always the case. Luckily, looking back, my many doctors have always ranked on the "good guy" side, but it would be easy to not realize that you are being given bad advice, or worse, actual treatment. And that's scary.
I highly recommend this book. I did skim through a lot of the specific medical talk, but you can do that and still get the bigger picture. We all have some claim in the healthcare system – you have insurance, you see a doctor occasionally, or you need regular treatment from a physician. And we can all learn something from this book to make us better consumers of the medical practice.

I realize I'm way behind the times on reading the Bill O'Reilly books and they have been on my list for a while. I snagged a few from the boxes of books my mom handed off to sell/donate and decided to start with Killing Jesus. I really had no idea what to expect but it was fascinating. It focuses on the historical facts surrounding the life of Jesus. If you dislike historical books, movies, etc. you may not like this book.
Every detail even remotely related to the life and death of Jesus is included in this account. The lives of rulers at the time and the times before and after Jesus' life on Earth are discussed. Jewish traditions and ways of life at the time are explained. This is not the Biblical account of Jesus's life but the historical one. And I cannot imagine this was an easy one to research and write given the known conflicting accounts of events. The timeline was a little hard to follow sometimes, but I was very impressed with the details and really enjoyed this book.

Only one book left to complete my Goodreads Reading Challenge! Ok, so I didn't set a very good challenge. Better planning next year.
My friend left me a box of books when she moved about a month ago and I needed a light, fun summer read. I finished Bossypants by Tiny Fey in 5 days. Very quick read but also very entertaining. It's similar to other celebrity autobiographies I have read (Mindy Kaling, Rob Lowe), consisting mostly of personal stories about the business and other random topics. Obviously Tina Fey's stories are funny and her 'opinions' about topics are dripping with sarcasm and hyperbole. Which is exactly what I was expecting. I think my favorite was her recounting the experience of playing Sarah Palin on SNL, which I didn't realize was after she had left the show to do 30 Rock.
Very entertaining. 5 stars. Check it out!

Where is employment for adults with autism and other neurodiverse (developmental and learning) differences heading in 2017? What employment assistance or initiatives offer the greatest promise? If you want to help someone you know who is part of the neurodiverse workforce, what should you be doing in 2017? The current year saw a range of employment initiatives, most of them extra-governmental, often driven by the energy of persons on the autism spectrum, advocates, and parents. These initiatives might be grouped among three primary strategies. "Autism at Work" and other targeted hiring and retention efforts by large employers: Microsoft's "Autism at Work" initiative has been the highest profile effort in 2016 by a major employer, targeting recruitment of adults on the spectrum and retention structures. But 2016 also has seen the growth of the Autism at Work initiative by software giant SAP, as well as targeted autism employment initiatives at several other prominent tech firms: Salesforce, Google, Cable Labs, Hewlett Packard and CollabNet. Firms outside of tech are developing autism employment initiatives, often in partnership with Specialisterne, the consulting firm specializing in autism employment. Among these non-tech employers in 2016 have been Best Buy, Deloitte, Willis Towers Watson and Ford Motor.

Q: Android - Capturing video frame from GLSurfaceView and SurfacView To play a media using Android MediaPlayer or MediaCodec, most of the time, you  use SurfaceView or GLSurfaceView (There is another way to achieve this using TextureView, but let's not talk about it here, since it's a bit different type of view)
And as far as I know, capturing the video frame from SurfaceView is not possible - you don't have access to hw overlay.
How about GLSurfaceView? Since we have access to YUV pixels (we're, right?), is it possible?
Can anyone point me where i can find a sample code to do it?
I don't think below explanation can work, because it's assuming the color format is RGBA, and in above case, I think it's YUV.
When using GLES20.glReadPixels on android, the data returned by it is not exactly the same with the living preview
Thank you and have a great day.

A: You are correct in that you cannot read back from a Surface.  It's the producer side of a producer-consumer pair.  GLSurfaceView is just a bunch of code wrapped around a SurfaceView that (in theory) makes working with GLES easier.
So you have to send the preview somewhere else.  One approach is to send it to a SurfaceTexture, which converts every frame sent to its Surface into a GLES texture.  The texture can then be rendered twice, once for display and once to an offscreen pbuffer that can be saved as a bitmap (just like this question).
I'm not sure why you don't want to talk about TextureView.  It's a View that uses SurfaceTexture under the hood, and it provides a getBitmap() call that does exactly what you want.

VORSINO /Kaluga Region/, April 10. /TASS/. The Russian government is expecting the Parliament to adopt laws easing currency regulation for exporters during the spring session, First Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on Wednesday.
He was speaking at an extended meeting on the prospects for the development of export of companies as part of the national project "International Cooperation and Export".
"During the spring session of the parliament we plan to introduce significant changes in currency regulation, to ease the pressure that is still there, to reduce administrative penalties for violations of currency legislation," he said.
"If today such fines retain 100% of the revenue, we believe that they should be reduced to the minimum values – to 3-5%," he said.
At the same time, the Finance Ministry intends, first of all, to stimulate the conclusion of export contracts in national currencies, he said.
"I would like to say at once that we will first of all stimulate the conclusion of export contracts in the national currency, in the Russian rubles. First of all, this will concern the export of non-oil-and-gas sector," Siluanov said.
Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: "Russian parliament to adopt laws easing currency regulation for exporters". Here is the website link: https://russophile.org/russian-parliament-to-adopt-laws-easing-currency-regulation-for-exporters/. Thank you.

Q: FB app redirecting outside iframe when callback I am making a app and it's been going ok. When i click a link called "account" it goes to /auth/facebook Great!. Once i have accepted the app/permissions it redirect back to the external side which is on Heroku, also when authenticating a FB logo appears saying Go to Facebook. While doing some research on the FB logo this is due to the FB page being loaded inside the FB iframe so if a can breakout the auth from the iframe in a different window this should sort the issue. On the redirect issue i have set the callback to redirect to my FB app link. The only issue here is if someone clicks on the account 'They wanted to go to the account page' so my work around is stupid as it sends the user back to the index page inside the iframe when i want it to go to the page that had was click inside the iframe i.e account.
If anyone has a idea on this i would be much appreciated.
Thanks

A:

Don't do an HTTP redirect, but use JavaScript instead:

(Btw, this has been discussed multiple times already.)


The design focuses on improving the experience of the patient. For example, all clinical spaces are arranged around a double-height reception space which is nicknamed "a pavilion in a garden."
The design of the Endeavour Radiotherapy Unit provides a high quality facility for patients by promoting healing through a calm, easy to read environment that counteracts the stressful experience of cancer treatment.
The three linear accelerator treatment rooms promote healing through views of nature, natural lighting & ventilation, and by instilling a feeling of privacy control for patients receiving treatment.
The roof shades the waiting area during the summer and permits passive heat gain in the winter. Natural ventilation results in cool air entering the space through low windows and warm air exhausted via roof level hoppers.
The design of the Endeavour Radiotherapy Unit at James Cook University allows patients to receive cancer treatment in a comfortable, non-clinical setting. The overarching goal of the architecture and interiors is to counteract potential stress of radiation therapy. The facility's three main functions (Outpatients Clinic, Linac Suite, CT Scanner Suite) are placed in a distinct block on one of three sides of a column-free central waiting space. On the fourth side the waiting space opens towards newly landscaped ground, creating a 'pavilion in a garden' for waiting patients. A 'floating roof' covers the waiting space and defines a distinct, readable edge when seen from south and south-east.
The project enables the expansion and modernization of the hospital's regional cancer program via the separation of clinical functions that are frequented by inpatients from those that primarily serve outpatients. This enabled refurbishment, in place, of those services to remain within the envelope of the existing hospital, whilst facilitating construction, nearby, of a new satellite facility for radiation therapy.

Are you ready for the rampage yet? If not, you will be after this new "Godzilla" trailer that just left me in a puddle of nerd drool.
outing the idea that there has been a cover-up on what we assume are recent monster attacks. Instead of a natural disaster, he shouts that whatever is "out there" is "going to send us back to the Stone Age." We then get glimpses of that wreckage, including the Statue of Liberty (sorry, New York City, we have not been spared this time) and then a lot of partial shots of likely Gojira emerging from the water.
The trailer seems to suggest more of the origin story of Godzilla with a voiceover by Ken Watanabe tell how, in 1954 (the year the original "Godzilla" film was released), "we awakened something." Further, nuclear tests in the Pacific weren't tests, but an attempt to kill the creature. Military action appears to be put in motion, but while fighter jets are tossed out of the sky and there are mysterious monster bones (and eggs?) -- on Monster Island, right? Right? -- Watanabe continues: "The arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control and not the other way around."
Towards the end of the trailer, we are treated to a partial Godzilla roar that transitions into a crescendo of tension sound effects and then: The best clear shot of the king of monsters roaring face, through a pair of closing bunker doors.
Godzilla is on its way May 16, 2014, and I am super super stoked. Watch the trailer and let me know if you are too.


Film adaptations of well known books are always controversial. One of the most frequent complaints is that it is difficult to capture all of the characters, storylines and details from a novel in a two-hour feature film. Some famous novels either have never been adapted or were hacked to pieces to squeeze them into a film format, rendering them nearly unrecognizable — and all because they are, simply put, too epic.
The story of the Buendía family and the town of Macondo is too complex to adapt into a feature-length film — all of the intricate family drama, revolutionary warfare and supernatural intervention — but if stretched over multiple hour-long episodes, it would be possible to capture extraordinary scope of One Hundred Years of Solitude without compromising the novel's spirit. Additionally there is no shortage of talented Latino and Hispanic actors to take over the rolls: Imagine Demian Bichir as the first José Arcadio Buendía and Penelope Cruz as the tenacious matriarch Úrsula.
The harsh and breathtaking terrain of Greenland would never be unwelcome on film, and Smiley's imagining of the final years of the ill-fated medieval Norse Greenland colony — aptly titled The Greenlanders — is the perfect vehicle to showcase it. At the heart of the story is Margret (we'd cast Mia Wasikowska), a strong-willed woman who finds herself without a family or home, and her brother Gunnar (perhaps Alfie Allen from Game of Thrones), who struggles to raise his family in the face of a slow-burning societal collapse. The novel focuses on themes of faith, economics, perseverance and European and Christian exceptionalism, but there is also plenty of adultery, murder and witchcraft to fill exciting hours of TV.
The Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee books by Hillerman are some of the best loved American mystery novels. A few of the individual stories have been adapted for screen, but the often interconnected characters and plots among many books in the series are practically calling out to be woven together in one great miniseries. Leaphorn and Chee alone — one secular and the other deeply involved in Navajo religious practice — have enough charisma together to warrant a series.
Baldwin's iconoclast novel about bohemians in 1950s Greenwich Village may not be quite as controversial today as it was when it was published in the '60s (we thankfully don't have as many hang ups about bisexuality and interracial relationships), but nonetheless it is still a compelling tale of personal relationships and offers an essential perspective into a time gone by. It would also serve as a great showcase for one of the many fantastic and unfairly underused African American actors working today, such as Michael B. Jordan from last year's Fruitvale Station in the tragic role of Rufus Scott.
Although Atwood doesn't call her trilogy of novels (Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood and MaddAddam) science fiction, they do take place in a dystopian society in the near future. It would take time to fully immerse the viewer in this world of repulsive technology and global pandemic, and slowly getting to know the central characters would help capture what separates the books from your typical post-Orwell fare.
While some of the more esoteric sections of The Golden Notebook dealing with the history and philosophy of the British communist party in the mid 20th century might be difficult to explore on film, who doesn't love a challenge? And besides, Lessing's brilliant novel contains more than enough conventional narrative, following Anna Wulf (perhaps Keira Knightley?) as she tells her life story via a series of notebooks that focus on her time in white ruled Rhodesia, as a member of the British Communist party and the ugly end of her marriage. In the right hands, it could yield hours of television magic.
There was a not terribly successful film adaptation of The Name of the Rose made in the '80s with Sean Connery and Christian Slater, but surely Eco's rich, twisted murder mystery set in a 14th century Italian monastery would benefit from not being hemmed in by an abbreviated running time. While it's hard to re-cast Connery, we could also imagine Javier Bardem making a meal of the roll as the super-intelligent William of Baskerville and perhaps a wildcard pick like Rupert Grint as Benedictine novice Adso of Melk.
The geographical creation of a landmass, the arrival of the first Americans over the Bering Strait land bridge, gold rushes and romances — what's not to love? Other Michener novels have been given the miniseries treatment, but Alaska would be sublime as a Terrence Malick-style epic.
A brief book that is packed to the gills with details, Candide is one of the greatest satirical novels of all time. Taking each of Candide's adventures (or misadventures, as they usually are) and expanding it a bit to give historic and political context could open up this great work to a whole new generation. And while it may be a bit on the nose, could you resist James Franco as Candide, Emma Stone as Cunégonde and Steve Coogan as Pangloss?
This is the story of the all-American Price family — specifically the mother, Orleanna, and the four Price daughters — and their radically divergent lives over the course of three decades following a fateful mission trip to the Belgian Congo in 1959. The book's episodic nature lends itself perfectly to serialization, and the immense, sprawling narrative is just too large to be contained in a two-hour movie. Connie Britton would be superb as Orleanna, and I could see actresses like Kirsten Dunst, Sarah Paulson and Jessica Chastain bringing the Price daughters to life.

eZ Publish is changing heavily: the version 5 will bring us new API, Interfaces and tons of different improvements, empowering former strengths even further and delivering an amount of new features. As we all know, the more features a product has, the more sophisticated and complex (and hard to use) it becomes. What shall we do to keep eZ fast, clean and simple? How can we satisfy most of our users? How can we keep them from being harmed?
With this post I start a blog, dedicated to the design of eZ Publish, as seen from the perspective of the User Experience Designer (UxD): in hope to improve it's usability and give birth to the desireability.
"The inmates are running the asylum: why hi-tech products drive us crazy and how to restore the sanity": is the title of the book by Alan Cooper that made me rethink what I was doing for the last 15 years. Well, in this years I have coded some millions of lines code, pushed billions of pixels and vectors, wrote a respectable amount of specifications and almost got phone receiver grown into my ears while running a small team of out-sourced developers. I was successful enough at applying my front-end'er skills to a bunch of (mostly) german (and mostly) huge web-sites and communicating with my clients around the Europe.
It was all fine, but there was always some kind of unclear, imprecise inner dissatisfaction with what we were delivering to the world. It was a feeling, that was hard to evaluate and even harder to communicate. There was something wrong with design of our software: some buttons were misplaced, labels unclear, forms had two be filled twice, my time was wasted and my patience was tried - but I really did not know where to start. And then I've got my hands on this book with ridicules long and strange title. Thanks to it, I have now both the words to explain what annoys me so much and an understanding of how to get those problems fixed. Sure, all this years I was reading all kind of blogs and books on design, usability, information architecture, interfaces, typography, cognitive psychology, color theories, e.t.c. But it was Cooper's book that broke the camel's back. I didn't want anymore to apply goal-centered designTM and usability principles to the products. I wanted them to be the foundation. I want to build on them, not with them.
- to start developing a brand new eZ Publish User Interface both visually and technically.
For me it's all gonna be an incredible amount of things to learn and to test. Don't expect me to write really much in the next several weeks, because I will be learning the basics of eZ. But I promise to keep you informed about how it's going and what the state is. I will absolutely desperately need your help with evaluating the design / interface solutions, with usability testing, scripting, wording and thousands other aspects.
After the goals will be defined, I'll publish them all and everyone is invited to help us find the best solutions to let our personas reach them. Doing so, I hope to set some clear borders in which further R&D will be running - just to keep our efforts streamlined and concentrated.


I'm not a huge fan of diamond imitation stone fake watches but I know there are quite a few of you guys out there that like them. Like one of my cousins for example that just recently got this Rolex Daytona Diamonds replica watch and was kind enough to let me check it out and grab some pics and a short video for my reviews. Starting off this Rolex Daytona Diamonds replica watch photo review I can tell you straight up that these pics do not do it justice at all. I had a hard time taking some good pics of it and making all the details on it show as they show to the naked eye.
The thing with this type of Rolex replica is that they show off a lot of times as being custom legit pieces. Rolex rarely puts out regular models that are as loaded as this one so make sure that when you wear replica Rolex watches looking like this one this is what most people would think. Of course there will be a lot that will question it for being legit but this is what you get with the overloaded stones, to be honest with you.
This replica Rolex comes with a Japanese automatic self-winding movement so the second's hand has a nice sweep. This feature always makes it look legit so no Quartz (battery run) seconds hand ticking fake Rolex watches please! Power reserve is good for an everyday wear but you really have to dress cool when wearing an iced-out Daytona every day. It's a certain style that not all of us have it.
It's definitely one of those tricky pieces that you either love or hate from the very beginning. Either way, I can tell you that in time opinions tend to chance and you might find yourself liking replica watches that at first, you thought you'd never like. It happened t me so many times already that I let myself take in a new model like this one and see it as it is rather than putting it to the wall. It's definitely a fun watch to look at and know of some of the good quality options out there when it comes to this kind of diamond imitation stone fake watches.
Check out some more pics below and let me know how you like it.

Internal links are really important to build links from existing articles so that it scatter link and search engines visit your site regularly. It increases your domain authority very well.
Quality of links matters a lot than quantity of links. If you newly launch your site over internet suddenly you will get 1000s of links from the same site then Google and other search engines mark your site as spam. So always remember that your site should get quality links to improve domain authority and to remain genuine site and blog in search engines.
Link diversity helps you in getting quality links. Try to links from different sources and use different anchor texts too. Google and other search engines give ranking to your site by considering these links. Don't exchange links to other site unless until those are relevant to your site's topic.
If you have links from those blog or site which already have good page rank in search engines works better in giving high domain authority. It doesn't mean that always get links from higher PR site. Try to maintain balance between both.
These are few tips which help you in getting good domain authority. Apply these points in your site or blog.

Icy comets – not rocky asteroids – launched a dramatic assault on the Earth and moon around 3.85 billion years ago, a new study of ancient rocks in Greenland suggests. The work suggests much of Earth's water could have been brought to the planet by comets.
Evidence suggests that the Earth and moon had both formed around 4.5 billion years ago. But almost all the craters on the moon date to a later period, the "Late Heavy Bombardment" 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago, when around 100 million billion tonnes of rock or ice crashed onto the lunar surface. The Earth would have been pummelled by debris at the same time, although plate tectonics on our restless planet have since erased the scars.
To find out whether asteroids or comets were the main culprits for the bombardment, Jørgensen decided to measure levels of the element iridium in ancient terrestrial rocks. Iridium is rare on the Earth's surface because almost all of it bound to iron and sank into the Earth's core soon after the planet had formed. But iridium is relatively common in comets and meteorites.
His team calculated the amount of iridium that asteroids would leave on the Earth and moon compared to comets. Because comets have more volatile elements and higher impact speeds due to their more elongated orbits around the sun, they would create giant plumes on impact, allowing more iridium to escape into space than during asteroid impacts.
The team predicted that asteroid bombardment would leave iridium levels of 18,000 and 10,000 parts per trillion in rocks on the Earth and moon respectively, while the same figures for comet bombardment would be about 130 and 10.
Ancient moon rocks returned by NASA's Apollo missions have already confirmed that the lunar iridium levels are 10 parts per trillion or less. To find out the terrestrial value, Jørgensen's team sampled some of the world's oldest rocks from Greenland, aged 3.8 billion years, and asked a Japanese laboratory to assess their iridium levels more accurately than ever before. They contained iridium levels of 150 parts per trillion.
That strongly suggests comets, rather than asteroids, caused the violent bombardment.
If so, Jørgensen's team calculates that around 3400 tonnes of icy comet material fell on each square metre of the Earth. About half the comet material would ricochet back into space in giant plumes, leaving behind roughly a billion cubic kilometres of cometary water in total.
That is a similar amount to that in the Earth's oceans today, although it is not clear whether there was already water on the planet due to chemical reactions on the early Earth (see Earth's water brewed at home, not in space).


Rep. Tony Cornish, chair of the House Public Safety Committee, says gun control isn't the answer to Capitol security in light of the Tucson shootings.
He also said more uniformed officers in the building, not metal detectors or gun control, would work best in the Capitol.
Cornish, a Republican from Good Thunder, is police chief in Lake Crystal.
Finally, I'm troubled by some liberal attempts to blame conservative talk shows and political advertisements for the Arizona tragedy. There is absolutely no connection. This is a guy who hates government altogether — Republicans and Democrats. A psychotic cannot be influenced by others, only by his own deprived mind, and sadly that's exactly what happened in Arizona.
In the aftermath of the Arizona shootings that killed six and injured 14 others — including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — I've been asked repeatedly what, if anything, can be done to prevent a similar act of violence at the State Capitol in St. Paul.
There are few solutions. If someone has the intent to assassinate, there's little you can do to stop it. But I can tell you this; the wrong answer is to disarm citizens. If a crazed lunatic truly wants to kill someone, he'll take a butter knife if that's the only thing available. As the chair of the Public Safety Committee, I strive to control the criminal, not the object in his or her hand.
One change I would like to see at the State Capitol is the presence of more armed uniformed state troopers. Some have suggested metal detectors and pat downs, but subjecting everyone visiting the Capitol to a screening would be a logistical nightmare. Not only do you have lobbyists and the general public visiting every day, but you also might have thousands of kids taking a short Capitol tour before heading to the Mall of America. It would literally be impossible to screen them all.
Plus, let's not forget everyone was seemingly in favor of strong airport security in order to ensure traveler safety, yet when the pat downs began and the check-in lines increased, everybody complained. I could see the same thing happening at the Capitol if we chose to go down the road of heightened security.
Finally, I'm troubled by some liberal attempts to blame conservative talk shows and political advertisements for the Arizona tragedy. There is absolutely no connection. This is a guy who hates government altogether – Republicans and Democrats.

Cedar beams are a great choice for any home. They hold a fantastic stain, smell great and look amazing. Cedar is also a type of lumber that is available in larger sizes, so you can purchase a beam made of cedar in lengths up to 18 or 20 feet. These beams come from a number of sources – from trees freshly cut, sometimes kiln dried and sometimes soaking wet. Properly dried stock is essential in purchasing a beam, but often that simply is not available in these larger sizes. The result is a beautiful Cedar beam that twists and cracks within 5-8 years, and need to be refinished every 3-4 years.
Lightweight and easy install make them the perfect decorative Cedar ceiling beam for remodels!
The perfect style of beam decor can be found with the fragrant and long enduring cedar box beam with a hewn edge.

At the start of the year, new students and ninth-graders are welcomed to Upper School by the Student Leadership Groups and returning students. Fun, friendship, and information define these two days and help to ease the community into the first day of classes and the year.
Homecoming at Fredericksburg Academy is an all-school tradition with the Upper School at the center of it all. It includes a week of themed dress-up days and activities directed by the Student Life Committee, a cook-out and bonfire for the eighth through twelfth grades, a parade and pep-rally with the entire school, and culminates on the athletic fields with not one but three varsity athletic contests.
No dresses and no tuxedos, the Lock-In is an all-night activity extravaganza for Upper School students with floor hockey, video games, movies, dodgeball, music, lots of snacks, and little to no sleep!
World Languages Week is a celebration of world cultures in the Upper School. Activities range from making world language t-shirts to cooking to scavenger hunts and culminate with a smorgasbord luncheon. It's a week of culinary and cultural delight for all students!
Fine arts are showcased year-round at FA, but the entire community comes together for one day each spring for an all-school celebration. Artwork is displayed gallery-style and students take the stage to perform choral, instrumental, and theatrical pieces.
All Upper School students at Fredericksburg Academy are invited to Prom and After Prom. The Student Life Committee plans the event, which includes an evening of dinner and dancing. After Prom is FA's post-prom party with food, prizes, and exciting activities.
The Perch. The Pond. The Day.
For more than 15 years, the entire Upper School has spent a spring day at a farm in Fauquier County. The possibilities for fun and relaxation are endless – the Perch Olympics, swimming, lawn games, music, fishing, Kan Jam, sun (or shade), and a cook-out. At the Perch, eighth-graders are welcomed as future Upper School students and seniors celebrate and are celebrated. And, all receive the one and only "The Perch. The Pond. The Day" t-shirt.


Another year will pass us by. May 2009 be a year as good as the previous one. Again, I do not make new year resolutions because I do not fulfill them. I'll see what tomorrow and the days after have installed for me.
Langkawi is a beautiful island. Scattered at one point, something which I do not like. But it's truly a haven for a chocolate lover like me. The shops there smelt like chocolates all the time!
As we were supposed to leave at midnight (27 December), we went to the TNB office earlier (yes, it was the meeting point for everyone).
We could not see a single soul when we reached except for the guard who ended up being our tour guide showing us around the office.
There was this conference hall located at the top floor and I thought of an idea to turn my brother into a guest speaker.
Then my sis tried to challenge my brother and gave her speech.
It's time to vote for the better speaker!
Soon it was midnight but the bus still had not reached. So I turned on the MP3 while sending messages to friends to kill boredom while waiting for it to arrive. It finally did.
We reached at 5.30 am and I was still so terribly sleepy. My eyes were aching from the lack of sleep. I found that I had reached a very foreign place the moment I stepped down from the bus. Everything looked foreign to me. Then I saw the signboard which said 'KUALA PERLIS'. We then went into the waiting hall and looked around for seats. So we sat there and waited some more. There, I saw a woman breast-feeding her child in public. Who on earth with the right mind would do that? It was such a disgraceful sight!
Soon after that, we were told that our ferry will be the 7 am one so we had ample time to have our breakfast. The nasi lemak that I had that morning was just okay. I missed Ipoh food so much!
When we returned to the waiting hall, we were told that we had to wait for the 8 am ferry. It was only 6.30 am then! I was getting agitated. I was getting tired of waiting but I had no choice. So I got myself comfortable on a seat till I dozed off.
Time flew and soon we were on the ferry to Langkawi.
We then waited at the terminal for our public bus to arrive but something else happened. One of my dad's colleagues' wife collapsed and got into a fit. Then, she was sent to the hospital while the rest of us moved onto the bus to our first destination.
A shop that sells anything that have everything to do with sea cucumbers a.k.a. gamat in Malay.
It's incredible. I tried it with the tip of my finger. It was hot, but it wasn't burning hot.
We were taken to several stops and then at Beras Terbakar, we were alarmed by the news of the sudden demise of the wife of my dad's colleague.
At that moment, I realized how fragile life was. It's not that I do not know that fact, but it made an impact to hear about the demise of someone (be it someone I know or not) so sudden when she was appearing to be all right that morning I saw her at breakfast.
All of us cancelled our plan to go to Makam Mahsuri (Mahsuri's Tomb) and headed to the hospital to pay our respects.
The time finally came for us to check into our most luxurious hotel.
I shall let the pictures do the talking because it's too disgusting to talk about the room. I don't even want to think about it. Yes, Patricia. I had a 'fantastic' accommodation.
It worked better as a heater.
The worst thing was, it could not be turned on.
Someone got angry because of the atrocious rooms they provide and released his/her anger at the door.
I cannot see the sunrise while staying here.
I added the word 'PANAS' because the air conditioner was really very panas.
I added the word 'MOTEL' too because it does not have the characteristic of a hotel/resort.
Instead of following the rest of the group to do some sight-seeing, my family planned our very own agenda... SHOPPING!
We headed off to Langkawi Parade (also pronounced as Praed by the locals here).
We went to Pekan Kuah for the second time (the previous night being the first time) and did more shopping.
I saw this sign in one of the Haji Ismail's shops.
There are a lot of chocolates that we bought but I forgot to snap the pictures of them. Anyway, they look and smell and taste like chocolates so you can imagine how they looked like, right?
The happiest day of my life. It was a very seldom thing for me to feel so happy leaving during a trip but the accommodation played a big role to make sure my stay is not only memorable but enjoyable as well.
We packed our bags and got ready at the lobby at noon. The bus was supposed to arrive by then but it came only ONE HOUR LATER. No punctuality at all.
We reached the terminal at 1.30 pm and we hunted for food. Most of the food outlets were flooded with people and we wasted so much time looking for somewhere to eat that by the time the food reached us, it was already 1.55 pm (we only had 5 minutes to eat since we were supposed to gather with the rest at 2 pm).
That pretty sums up my virgin trip to Langkawi. The next time I go there, it would be by plane. No more squeezing my way through the seas of people around at Kuala Perlis.
Although I promised to post about the Langkawi trip for the next entry, I feel this is more important to be put up here first. The following is what she thinks of me.
Hunchback of Notredame OST. Heh.
I miss IGC and Sunday school and SPM days with you and Jacqulyn, we went to your house remember? Watched our Graduation DVD too!
When we were still in primary school and I still didn't know you personally. I always thought that you looked very clean because you were so fair and had your hair pulled back.
Turtles! Because you have lots of them at home, not implying anything about your personality.
Your love for animals! Terrapins and dogs, especially! (I can NEVER take care of a pet. EVER. I'm handicapped that way.) You're very kind and helpful too.
Alethea, I am missing you heaps! Although I don't make calls, it does not mean that I have removed you from my keep-in-touch list. Take care and I wish you all the best in your future undertakings. Hugs and kisses to you. XOXO.
I've shopped for my all-time favourite (CHOCOLATES!!) last night. I love the prices of every item here as they are so super, duper cheap!
Will be updating more when I return home tomorrow. It'll be an interesting post filled with the ups and downs of my memorable virgin trip here.
I'll be leaving for Langkawi in about 7 hours' time. Been travelling a lot lately and I want to take a break from trips after this.
Anyway, I have to go back to college on the 5th so that's the end of my holidays. The peculiar thing is, I cannot wait to get back to studying and assignments. I guess I am crazy. I can't believe it that it'll be my third semester already. Wow.
I must treasure the luxurious moments while I can.
It's Christmas day! And I have nothing better to do so I am going to do the meme that Pui Yee tagged me to do. Here it is.
1. Put your music player on with all your music, then shuffle.
1. How are you feeling today ?

I shall not tag anybody, so anyone who have nothing better to do just like me, please feel free to do this.
I spent my Christmas Eve's eve in KL to do some very last minute shopping. I just came back a few hours ago and ended up not going for candlelight service at church (guilty a little). I had a great time there looking with awe at all the wonderful decoration at the various shopping complexes I have gone to.
I came upon this interesting bed and felt sleepy right after looking at it. I love round beds!
Now that Christmas is here, Panda decided to fall in love with a tree instead.
The next day a.k.a. today, we went to The Curve.
She was posing with her index finger pointing her dimple. So cute!
The Curve has a lot of trees around.
Now I am back to celebrate Christmas at my beloved hometown.
By the way, I saw Eve working at Marche. I nearly could not recognise her with her yellow outfit and apron. You look prettier, girl. See you during CNY. Missing you lots!
This week is a fun week!

The BTB and BHA award scholarships to ten outstanding Belizean students
Ten outstanding Belizean students received scholarship awards from the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) and the Belize Hotel Association (BHA) during a joint award ceremony held at the Biltmore Plaza Hotel in Belize City on Wednesday, August 14th. This year's BTB scholarship recipients include Glenroy Godwin, Fermin Espinoza, Adali Espinoza and San Pedro's Roney Espinoza, who will pursue their Bachelor's Degrees at the University of Belize and Hugh Rodney Hulse who will pursue a Culinary Degree at Stratford University in the United States of America.
This year's Jean Shaw Scholarship award went to San Pedro's Jennifer Araceli Padilla, who will pursue a Bachelor's Degree at the University of Belize. The Jean Shaw Tourism Scholarship was established in memory of the late Jean Ursilla Shaw, a renowned tourism pioneer who played an integral part in the development of Belize's tourism industry in her lifetime. The scholarship was established by the BTB to support the development of qualified Belizean females pursuing a career in tourism. This scholarship covers tuition, books, and fees. "I applied because I really needed the help. As you guys know, studying for Bachelors is really expensive so I really needed the financial help so that I can pursue my studies in tourism. Thanks to Tourism, Belize is where we at right now, because as Mr. Heredia said, we get 40% of our income from tourism and I believe it is very important," said Padilla (Excerpted from Channel5Belize.com).
In congratulating the scholarship recipients, Hon. Manuel Heredia, Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation stated, "Belize is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but we have to compete with many countries in order to promote and market our tourism product. Today, I urge you to take advantage of this wonderful educational opportunity. Prepare yourself. Work hard and you will succeed. Continue to place the name of Belize upfront. Make our country proud."
The BTB Scholarship Program aims to provide financial assistance to students interested in pursuing studies in the areas of tourism and hospitality. As part of the program, the BTB selects individuals who demonstrate high levels of academic achievement and leadership and who express a strong interest in making a positive contribution to Belize's tourism industry. Since its establishment in 2005, over 90 young Belizeans have benefitted from the program. This year's three BTB's scholarship awards are valued at $33,700.00 and are for two years respectively.
During the ceremony, BHA Board Director, Roanne Badillo, also presented scholarships to six deserving Belizean students, who will pursue their high school diplomas, which include: Jocellyn Martinez from Valley of Peace Seventh Day Adventist Academy, Cayo District, Selene Almendarez from Independence High School, Independence Village, Maria Tillett from Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Cayo District, Blythe Thompson from St. Catherine Academy, Belize City, Kianna Dawson from Eden Seventh Day Adventist High School, Cayo District and Kyarah Williams, who will pursue her Associate's Degree in Psychology at the University of Belize. The BHA established its scholarship fund in 2011 with the purpose to provide educational funding for the children of employees working with the BHA member hotels/businesses that are unable to meet the financial obligations for their children's education. The scholarship awards represent both BTB's and BHA's unwavering commitment to the sustainable development of our dynamic tourism industry while at the same time fostering educational opportunities for young Belizeans.
The San Pedro Sun joins the community in congratulating all the 10 students that received a scholarship. We wish you all the best in your educational endeavors!

Q: Composition and Aggregation referencing the same class (UML / TypeScript) Is it possible and does it make sense that Hero has an aggregation and composition relationship?
My aim is to keep a list of powers for each hero, however when creating one it should only be possible to add one Power instead of multiple Powers. That is the reason why I've created a private attribute power for only one power.
My question is about the validity of the UML class diagram. Is that the correct way of displaying my intend?
The reason why power is an aggregation is that it could be that another class uses the same power instance (I have implemented some cache which always return the same instance of a power, for simplicity I didn't show that part).
The reason why powers is an composition is that it strongly depends on the hero instance. If hero is destroyed, powers should also be cleaned.

The code for the UML does look like something like that (TypeScript):
hero.ts
import { Power } from './power';

export class Hero {
  powers: Power[] = [];

  constructor(private power?: Power) {
    if (power) {
      this.addPower(power);
    }
  }

  addPower(power: Power) {
    this.powers.push(power);
  }

}

power.ts
export class Power {
  constructor(private title: string) { }
}

A: First of all: it is possible to have an Aggregation and Composition between two classes. As you said correctly, if our part class should be deleted with whole class, we should use Composition, and if not, we can use Aggregation (or Association). It is possible to have both in one direction (as you have, only the recursive relation is not possible)
Based on you explanation:

My aim is to keep a list of powers for each hero, however when
creating one it should only be possible to add one Power instead of
  multiple Powers. That is the reason why i've created a private
  attribute power for only one power.

You do not have Aggregation between Hero and Power. That is only
 a Dependency relationship between them. Based on your codes and explanation, you do not save the ONE power in your codes and only it used for setting instances to POWERS in Hero. Meaning that your Hero has not any single Power as part class.

However, your Composition between them is absolutely correct. Because you said:

it strongly depends on the hero instance. If hero is destroyed, powers
  should also be cleaned.

A: Solution based on accepted answer in UML:

In TypeScript it's better to not instantiate a attribut of type Power because it has no further purpose. Therefore the constructor just get a Power and is adding it to the powers array.
hero.ts
import { Power } from './power';

export class Hero {
  powers: Power[] = [];

  constructor(power?: Power) {
    if (power) {
      this.addPower(power);
    }
  }

  addPower(power: Power) {
    this.powers.push(power);
  }

}

Home Sports News Chelsea ready to smash Premier League record fee for Enzo Fernandez
Chelsea ready to smash Premier League record fee for Enzo Fernandez [Details]
Kojo Appiah
Enzo Fernandez, a World Cup star, is Chelsea's most recent high-profile transfer target.
Enzo Fernandez, a 21-year-old international for Argentina, won the Young Player Award in Qatar for his crucial contribution to his nation's third World Cup victory.
These performances were sufficient to persuade the Blues to exercise the valued midfielder's reputed £112 million release clause, which is more than the sum paid to bring Romelu Lukaku back to West London in August 2021.
Would Fernandez's arrival, though, be sufficient to free Graham Potter's soldiers from their present difficulties? We examine what the Argentinean native would bring to Stamford Bridge in front of Chelsea's matchup at home against Manchester City.
A star in Qatar
While known as an emerging talent at Benfica, Fernandez's dazzling performances in Qatar saw him truly announce himself to the world.
With just three international caps prior to the tournament, Fernandez started Argentina's first two group games from the bench, scoring a terrific curling strike in the second of those appearances, against Mexico.
After that moment of brilliance, he was immediately installed into Lionel Scaloni's XI for La Albiceleste's final group clash with Poland and that is where he stayed for the remainder of the tournament as the South American giants secured a memorable crown — beating previous champions France in the final.
Thriving alongside Lionel Messi as a classy deep-lying playmaker throughout their triumphant campaign, the Argentina skipper lavished praise on his young compatriot.
Midfield maestro
Benfica paid less than £10m to sign Fernandez from River Plate last summer and he has since started all 14 of the Eagles' games in the Portuguese top flight, as well as a further five in the Champions League.
Three goals and five assists this term are impressive for a deep-lying midfielder and that is not the only area in which Fernandez has thrived this season at club level.
Featuring in a double pivot alongside Florentino Luis, Benfica's No13 dictates play with his passing ability and is given the freedom to advance forward.

Road transport helps countries grow and develop. We know that efficient, safe, and fast transport systems help people prosper and economies flourish.
This is especially the case in the Arab region –around 6% of global exports (worth $904b annually) come from this part of the world. At any one time, there are over 4 million goods vehicles driving on around 700,000km of road in the area.
However, there is still plenty of room for growth. To help this happen, there need to be improvements in infrastructure and procedures.
Training drivers and managers to reduce accidents and increase professionalism in the industry.
Working with governments to address the main causes of accidents in the region.
Helping develop better and quicker procedures for border controls.
Everything that is used or bought has, at one point, been transported on the road.
Improving road safety must start with drivers. The project team ran 'train the trainer' courses so local experts could spread best practice and teach drivers how to stay safe on the roads.
Although the number of accidents in the region is incredibly high, information about why they happen is very difficult to come by. Taking inspiration from work done in the EU, the project team created a dedicated taskforce to look at the reasons for accidents and suggest solutions.
Sometimes the input of people who've been there before can really help. The project team ran a number of surveys and analysed what the stumbling blocks were and how they were slowing international trade in the area.
