The suspect was part of a seven-man group that scaled the fence of a service station in an attempt to raid staff housing at the back. This was on Saturday, 22nd of February, at about 1am.
A security guard who tried to disturb the suspects was threatened with homemade guns and in fear of being shot, took cover, at the same time raising the alarm.
Lae police report that fortunately, one of the females in the staff residential compound had saved the Police Emergency Toll Free number and immediately called Police.
In a statement, Lae metropolitan superintendent, Chief Superintendent Anthony Wagambie Jnr, said David Naia, also known as 'Flat het', of Morobe and Manus parentage, was apprehended yesterday at Wewak Wharf.
"He had been wounded by Wewak Police two weeks ago at Koikin after taking part in a robbery," said Wagambie Jnr.
"It has been reported that one of his gang members was shot dead and another suspect along with David were wounded.
Since its launch in May of last year, the toll free number 7090 3300 received 5,000 calls from sexual assaults, armed robberies, to expectant mothers going into labour in remote locations and seeking assistance.
Lae Metropolitan Superintendent, Anthony Wagambie Jr, said the Toll Free number has assisted them in a big way to fight crime in the city.
"We cannot express our appreciation enough to Digicel for this vital phone service. This phone number has changed the way we serve the community to keep them safe and respond when required.
The suspects had been involved in an armed robbery of an Asian shop owner at Downtown Lae around 9am yesterday (April 2).
The suspects were intercepted by a traffic police unit when they tried to escape in a Sedan.
The unit was in the area and was alerted by gun shots fired by the suspects, who wounded the Chinese national and a security guard.
Lae metropolitan superintendent, Commander Anthony Wagambie Junior, said the traffic police promptly contacted all units, who then blocked off possible escape routes.
The man and two other suspects were apprehended by the Lae police and will be facing charges related to the armed robbery.
The wounded suspect was identified as a man from Yangoru, East Sepik, while the other two are from Morobe Province.
They are all from the Miles area in Lae.
The Lae metropolitan superintendent, commander Anthony Wagambie Jnr, said the three men were part of at least a ten-man gang armed with machetes and home-made guns.
The group had attempted to rob the shop but they did not anticipate that the owner would have a pistol.
Lae metropolitan superintendent, Commander Anthony Wagambie Jnr, confirmed today that the journalist had laid complaints for unlawful assault by these men.
The men, who are attached with the office of Governor for Morobe, were arrested and charged on two counts: one each for assault and one each for drunk and disorderly behaviour.
Wagambie Jnr stated that the incident occurred at Erap. Police were alerted via a phone call and quickly responded, escorting both parties back to the police station.
Commander Anthony Wagambie Jnr was saddened by the report of a 37-year-old nursing officer who not only was going through life threatening abuse but sadistic treatment as well.
The victim's genitalia was sewn and a padlock attached to it. The perpetrator only unlocked it when he wished to have sexual intercourse, according to police report.
The escapee had been recaptured on October 30. A further search at his parents' residence at the block saw the confiscation of a carton of detonators.
The detonators were alleged to be a part of large amount of explosives belonging to a road construction company, TSC, which had ceased operations back in 2013 at Gumine, Simbu Province, and Eastern Highlands Province.
The explosives were ordered from Orica explosives and according to the company, should have been returned after the construction company ceased operations.
This was stated by the Lae Metropolitan Superintendent, Anthony Wagambi Junior.
Wagambi said although he acknowledges the effort and the work put in by the preachers, to spread the word of God – he also stated that this must be done in the right locations.
He noted that the number of street preachers has rapidly increased in the city, and although this again is no issue, he stressed that it is the locations that they chose to spread the word that causes the real problem.
Manpower was stretched during the election period, which has affected general policing but now that it's over, the normal swing of duties will resume.
Lae Metropolitan Superintendent, Anthony Wagambie Jnr, says Police Station Commanders and Unit Commanders have been directed to step up on proactive policing.
This will include: Stepping up of footbeat patrols, not only at shopping centres and bus stops, but also residential areas and settlements; Advertising of their toll free emergency telephone number; and utilising the FB page so that the public can access information.

Dec 20, 2010 - Monterrey, Mexico
I left my truck and trailer in McAllen, Texas and Laura and I took a bus to Monterrey, Mexico. Monterrey is the third largest city in Mexico after Mexico City and Guadalajara . There are more than one million people in the city and 3.7 million including the surrounding area. It was founded in 1596 as a trading outpost between Mexico City and the USA. It is the capital city of the state of Nuevo Leon. Monterrey is one of the hottest cities in Mexico with temperatures in the summer being at more than 35 degrees (95F) for three consecutive...Jump to full entry

Jul 8, 2008 - Last night in Mexico
As you can see by the clouds, weather was threatening rain or drizzling most of the day. This motel is along the tollroad from Monterrey to the US border. The toll costs almost $20 but the "libre" (free) road is full of potholes, villages, and construction. Between the motel and the toll, I spent more money per mile here than on any other portion of the trip. But this hotel is up to US standards and at that point in time, was worth the money. In Mexico there is a definite choice in highways. The tollways are generally in good condition and...Jump to full entry

Feb 10, 2008 - Our trip to Monterey Mexico
We began our trip by boarding a bus and traveling to Monterey. Our first stop was Horsetail falls. It is a very beautiful waterfall and it does look like a horsestail. We took a horse drawn buggy up to the falls and then climbed the steps up to the falls themselves. At the top and bottom there are stands where you can get drinks or food. It was a delightful way to start our trip. After Horsetail falls we returned to our hotel and had the evening to ourselves.

We were organized into groups of 8-9 rigs each, with a group leader, a tail gunner and a trip log. The trip log was very detailed and intended to make sure we all found our way. The first day we drove to Saltillo, about 200+ miles from the border. Our border crossing was smooth and we were on our way. 8 hours later (do the math: we were very slow - lots of slowing down to make sure we were all more or less together, stops to re-fill fuel tanks, have lunch or whatever, and no real issues with getting lost -- just slow.) we pulled into...Jump to full entry

Mar 29, 2005 - Monterrey and the journey to . . .
Monterrey was a really cool city, though if we had to pre-judge the city by the trip there, it would have been a bubbling cesspool. The two hour trip to Ciudad Valles from Xilitla was actually pretty damn relaxing and easy. However, some of the really swass bus lines didn't run between Ciudad Valles and Monterrey, so we ended up taking a somewhat ghetto bus for the eight hour overnight trip. Sam's seat was downright broken, so if she put any weight on it, it fell backwards into a reclining position. They showed Spiderman 2 again, so both of...Jump to full entry

MyGamesList.net is a website for listing your games. A backlog that has a modern look with none of the social media bloat found on other sites.
Organizing your library when it is not only large but spans over multiple systems can get frustrating. We searched through websites that offer this same feature but found the way it was done to be sloppy or saturated with unwanted junk.
Sharing your list with others is a great way to show all the games you own, have completed or are generally interested in. But we're only here to offer you the best listing service we can provide. The amount of social media, gaming news and gaming community related sites are seemingly endless and we highly suspect you use sites that already fit your needs on those fronts.
Therefore we are nothing but a list. A list you may keep for only yourself, share with your friends, or post and display in other places. This was a service we found useful and we hope you can use it too.

DEF LEPPARD beat out Stevie Nicks, Todd Rundgren, THE ZOMBIES and THE CURE to win the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Fan Vote. The British rockers band had 547,647 votes, followed by Stevie Nicks (427,844), Todd Rundgren (365,370), THE ZOMBIES (329,052) and THE CURE (264,443).
According to the Hall's rules, the five top vote-getters in the fan vote are put on a single ballot, which counts no more than a ballot submitted by one of the Hall's 900 or so regular voters, consisting of artists, music historians and music industry insiders. That means that each single fan vote for DEF LEPPARD was worth 0.00182599 actual ballots, as reported by Cleveland.com.
The official choices will be announced on Thursday, December 13 at 8 a.m. EST on the Rock Hall's Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages as well as on SiriusXM Volume channel 106.
Since the Fan Vote was created, the top vote-getter that year (previously BON JOVI, RUSH, KISS, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, CHICAGO, JOURNEY) has wound up being inducted into the Rock Hall.
Artists are eligible for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 25 years after the release of their first album or single. Criteria for inclusion includes "the influence and significance of the artist's contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll."

Health & insurance
Before You Go
Required Vaccinations
No vaccinations are required for travel to Berlin, but the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all travellers be covered for diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella and polio.
Health Insurance
If you are a citizen of the EU, the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles you to reduced-cost or free medical treatment for illness or injury, but not emergency repatriation home. Check with your local health authorities for information on how to obtain an EHIC. Non-EU citizens should check if a similar reciprocal agreement exists between their country and Germany, or if their policy at home provides worldwide healthcare coverage.
If you need to buy travel health insurance, be sure to get a policy that also covers emergency repatriation. While some plans pay doctors or hospitals directly, note that many healthcare providers may still demand immediate payment from nonlocals. Most do not accept credit cards.
In Berlin
Tap Water
Tap water is perfectly fine to drink, although most people prefer bottled sparkling or still water. It is not customary to receive a glass of tap water in cafes or restaurants and asking for one may be met with the suggestion that you order the bottled variety.
Medical Services
- High-level health care is available from a Rettungsstelle (emergency department) at a Krankenhaus (hospital) or from an Arztpraxis (doctor's office). Most doctors speak at least some English, especially in the hospitals.
- The most central hospital with a 24-hour emergency room is the renowned Charité Mitte.
- For minor illnesses (headache, bruises, diarrhoea), pharmacists can provide advice, sell over-the-counter medications and make doctors' referrals if further help is needed.
- Condoms are widely available in drugstores, pharmacies and supermarkets. Birth control pills require a doctor's prescription but the morning after pill does not and is sold in pharmacies for about €16.
- German chemists (drugstores, Drogerien) do not sell any kind of medication, not even aspirin. Even over-the-counter (rezeptfrei) medications for minor health concerns, such as a cold or upset stomach, are only available at an Apotheke (pharmacy).
- For more serious conditions, you will need to produce a Rezept (prescription) from a licensed physician. If you take regular medication, be sure to bring a full supply for your entire trip, as the same brand may not be available in Germany.
- The names and addresses of pharmacies open after hours (these rotate) are posted in every pharmacy window, or call 011 41 for a recorded message of after-hour and Sunday pharmacies.

Top 10 web security vulnerabilities number 2: Injection Flaws BlogPosted by caroljmcdonald-JavaNet in caroljmcdonald on Oct 2, 2009 9:35:00 AM
OWASP Top 10 number 2: Injection Flaws Number 2 in the Top 10 most critical web application security vulnerabilitiesidentified by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is Injection Flaws. Injection happens whenever an attacker's data is able to modify a query or command sent to a database, LDAP server, operating system or other Interpreter. Types of injections are SQL, LDAP, XPath, XSLT, HTML, XML, OS command... SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting account for more than 80% of the vulnerabilities being discovered against Web applications (SANS Top Cyber Security Risks).
SQL Injection Exampleuse of string concantenation to build query: SQL Injection can happen with dynamic database queries concatenated with user supplied input, for example with the following query:
"select * from MYTABLE where name=" + parameter
"select * from MYTABLE where name= 'name' OR 'a'='a';
"select * from MYTABLE;
"select * from MYTABLE where name= 'name' OR 'a'='a'; delete from MYTABLE;
"select * from MYTABLE; delete from MYTABLE;
SQL Injection can be used to:
- create , read , update, or delete database data
Protecting against SQL Injection
- Don't concatenate user input data to a query or command!
- Use Query Parameter binding with typed parameters, this ensures the input data can only be interpreted as the value for the intended parameter so the attacker can not change the intent of a query.
- Validate all input data to the application using white list (what is allowed) for type, format, length, range, reject if invalid. (see previous blog entry)
- don't provide too much information in error messages (like SQL Exception Information, table names..) to the user.
Java specific Protecting against SQL Injection
Don't concatenate user input data to a query or command:
- Don't do this with JDBC:
String empId= req.getParameter("empId") // input parameter
String query = "SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE
id = '" + empId +"'"?
- Don't do this with JPA:
q = entityManager.createQuery(

Artesanas I'xkoq'a were really happy to receive sewing lessons earlier this year along with new sewing machines and supplies and they worked hard to learn this new skill. After the earlier lessons we required they practice their sewing for a few months and then we began more lessons for them with their instructor, Gaspar. They will now have 4 more months of lessons to really become proficient with their new skills.
What will these new skills mean to them? It means new opportunities to earn money sewing their own handcrafts and also sewing for others in their community. They will now be able to sew the hems on their handwoven napkins and placemats, make purses, pillows and so much more!
This group is very organized and always searching for ways to improve their handcraft business with improved or new skills and improved business practices. We are very pleased to be able to help them by furnishing their sewing center and providing 7 months of sewing lessons.

Aura Rose Quartz is a rose quartz that has been through the aura process of having other minerals and/or metals adhered to them. The aura process is part of the artist's work, with the quartz, to produce the glitz and glamour we see in these beauties. But don't let that process fool you into thinking any less of them. They're still quartz. Sometimes the artist works with Citrine, Amethyst, and even Citrine, to manifest such sparkle and rainbow tones.
Aura Quartz has been hot on the market ever since their debut and I'm not surprised, given the luster and vibrancy of these spectacular treasures. There are various aura quartz to choose from such as Clementine Aura, Angel Aura, Aqua Aura, Rose Quartz Aura (like in this listing), and many more.
There have been debates as to whether there's any power in an Aura Quartz because of the process by which they go through. Aura Quartzes begin their journey as quartz (and it's multiple family members) until artists adhere minerals and metals such as gold, iron oxide, etc.
This listing is for these soothing tumbled Rose Quartz Aura treasures which you can adorn your altar with, make jewelry, or add to your crystal curios. In color therapy, soft pink hues work with the emotional Heart Chakra to enhance love for yourself and others as well as improving relationships. These are a lovely and thoughtful gift for any friend.
- Element: Water
- Chakra: Heart
- Herbs: Rose petals, pink Plumeria, pink Carnation
- Essential Oils: Geranium, Rose de Mai
Each specimen piece is unique, no two are identical. They measure approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch. I will choose intuitively and with intention.
Comes gift wrapped with a sage leaf for cleansing.
Magical blessings,

If you're looking for a quality barbecue for a small space or want one that is portable, then the Weber Smokey Joe, with it's 37cm diameter grill should fit the bill nicely.
Plated steel cooking grate
Just because your barbecue is small doesn't mean you should compromise on quality and the triple plated steel cooking grate is certainly no compromise.
Heavy-gauge steel charcoal grate
Many manufacturers skimp on the quality of their charcoal grates, especially on smaller models, but not so Weber on the Smokey Joe. This heavy-guage steel grate means that your coals will stay exactly where they should. And it will last for years.
Porcelain-enamelled bowl and lid in Black
Once again the quality finish shows through with the porcelain-enamelled bowl and lid – this time in Black enamel. They will withstand the worst the weather can throw at them and are rust and heat / fire resistant. It's no surprise that Weber feel confident in offering a 10-year warranty on these parts.
Lid handle with heat shield
With a heat shield under the handle, you'll be able to lift the lid on your Smokey Joe with ease.
Tuck-N-Carry lid lock
The tuck-n-carry lid lock serves a dual purpose. It locks the lid in place for carrying and then when you slide it around to use the barbecue, it acts as a handy lid holder.
Briquette measuring cup
To ensure that you get just the right amount of fuel on your barbecue, Weber also supply a briquette measuring cup with the Smokey Joe.

A big rig crash on Interstate 210 in Pasadena that blocked the Metro Gold Line was one of dozens of traffic accidents on L.A. County freeways on a rainy Thursday.
The truck crashed through a wall and ended up on tracks that run down the middle of the interstate, effectively shutting down the Gold Line for most of the day. Metro used buses to aid Thursday morning commuters. While train service was gradually being re-established, buses were still needed later in the day.
According to Metro, the big rig blocking the tracks was removed, but repairs were expected to continue into Friday.
The big rig crash was the lone traffic advisory for the California Highway Patrol as of Thursday afternoon. CHP reported 79 accidents on L.A. County freeways between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. Thursday morning, according to CHP Officer Siara Lund.
Lund told KPCC her office saw a bump from the usual amount of Thursday morning accidents, but the number wasn't "too crazy." Many of the reported accidents could have been prevented by taking extra caution on the road, she said.
"Everyone in LA is in such a hurry," she said. "They think they're invincible in the rain."
Lund said freeway drivers should stay on the inner lanes to avoid flooded outside lanes. She also encouraged drivers to check tire treads – something Californians forget during the dry summer months.Parents should remove children from bulky winter coats when putting them in a car seat, she said. The size of some coats prevents some car seats from fastening correctly, she said.
"Just throw a blanket on them instead," she said.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are looking to try to get back to winning ways when they host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield today.
The ECHO's full-time LFC reporter James Pearce will be joined by Liverpool Editor Andy Kelly and Ian Doyle at Anfield to provide live team news, updates and analysis as the Reds host Mauricio Pochettino's outfit.
Team news
Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana and Ragnar Klavan are doubts for Klopp, and defender Dejan Lovren is hoping to be passed fit after a knee injury kept him out of the defeat to Hull City.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are without defenders Danny Rose and Jan Vertonghen, and Erik Lamela is also absent with a hip problem.
Jurgen Klopp: "I think this afternoon's game is one that will really excite a football supporter, regardless of whether you have direct interest in LFC or Spurs. I can only speak for us, in terms of how we will approach it, but I know we go into this game with an ambitious outlook and looking to attack and fight for every kick, tackle and header.
"I am pretty sure this will be a game of high energy and high intensity. It is my hope that we can produce a performance that makes Anfield smile."
Key Events
Good night
That's all from the live blog for now.
We'll be back tomorrow morning with more reaction but we'll have more from Jurgen Klopp with you on the ECHO website later tonight.

Klopp: Reds are back in the race but I won't go nuts
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes the chase for a top four spot is back on.
He said:
"We started 2017 tonight, if you like, and we should not go nuts immediately. Let's take it step by step.
"It's not like we played 20 games really bad, we had a few.
"Now we are back in the race and we have to use this situation. Even when we didn't perform fantastic in January, we are still really in a good position in the league."

Spurs couldn't cope with Reds aggression
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted Spurs could not cope with Liverpool's aggression at Anfield as his Spurs side left Merseyside well beaten.
He said:
"If you do not reach the same levels of aggression from the beginning, something happens. Because after 20 minutes we were 2-0 down and then it's late to react.
"First half I think they were better, the truth is they played better than us. It was always difficult for us, plenty of problems.
"There's nothing too much to comment because when you are poor and it's difficult to play the way you normally play, it's difficult to explain.
"We need to analyse the game and try to assess why but the reality is they were better than us."

Organizers billed it as, "18 teams, 9 Bowls, 3 days."
Had they known what the weather would bring, maybe they would have further hyped it as a "kickoff to Winterlude."
Just the same, by all accounts, taking the OFSAA Bowl Series out of the Hamilton and Toronto area for the first time and bringing it to TD Place was a huge success, the snow, wind and cold of the first two days be darned.
"The work was more than worth it," said Gary Schreider, the soon-to-retire NCSSA athletic co-ordinator and convenor of the event. "Just seeing the kids experience playing in this stadium.
"My go-to line is that this event isn't about the (university) scouts or about the media coverage. Or anyone else for that matter. I mean they are all part of it, but … it's about the kids and just seeing them enjoying the experience so much, seeing them go back onto the field after their games to take it all in. Just everything about it. That's what it is all about."
Schreider, the former Queen's Golden Gael, first went to OFSAA way back in 2013 with the idea to give Ottawa a try. The instant response was pushback from many of the schools in western and southern Ontario. The travel distance was the natural sticking point and several schools said they would go back to regional bowls rather than travel for a province-wide Bowl Series.
The history of the Bowl Series goes back almost 20 years when the NFL and CFL partnered to host it at the then SkyDome in Toronto.
When that relationship fell apart, Rogers wanted $60,000 in rent for the day-long event that included just five games at that time.
OFSSA couldn't justify that kind of money so it became earmarked for Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton. The first year it was supposed to go there, in 2014, the new stadium wasn't ready and organizers had to use Centennial Park in Etobicoke as a fallback plan.
Then Tim Hortons hosted it every year from 2015.
All the while, Schreider wasn't about to give up, and finally, in 2015, OFSAA gave him the go-ahead while making it mandatory that all schools participate if they earned their way.
That set the wheels in motion and Schreider set out to bring it home for Canada 150 and play it the day after the 105th Grey Cup. But then he couldn't secure enough hotel rooms for the Sunday night, and it had to be pushed to this year.
Schreider has a great story about having a captive audience in the courtesy vehicle he was driving as a volunteer at the 2017 Grey Cup in Ottawa.
As one of the "VIP drivers," he was called to make a pickup and found himself alone with OSEG CEO Bernie Ashe and OSEG partner Roger Greenberg as he shuttled them from one event to another.
"Bernie and I had already spoken a week previous and he was in favour of it, but Roger said, 'Why do you want to play it in so big a stadium when no one is going to be on the stands?' " Schreider said, laughing. "I had to try and describe to him what it would mean to the kids to be able to play in such a beautiful facility and what it would mean to them to play on a pro field.
"And OSEG has been just a great partner with us. I couldn't have asked for more."
Of local interest, there was Ashbury College's thrilling last-second win in the Independent Bowl to highlight Day 1.
There was the disappointment of St. Peter having their dream of a perfect season come to a resounding end by a Korah Colts team from Sault Ste. Marie that just couldn't be stopped.
There are the images of the Sault Ste. Marie kids arriving at TD Place in suits and ties, and then taking the Series by storm, celebrating on the field, getting back into their Sunday best, leaving the stadium, then bussing all the way back home Wednesday as champions.
There were many other feel-good moments.
Hamilton's McMaster University is scheduled to host in 2019, and while Schreider may be retiring from education, he's not quitting.
"I know we all want to bring it back and I will do anything to help get it back," he said. "We did this all with volunteers … coaches from the area … and they all want it back to do it again."
The Series concluded with two bowl games on Day 3.
Central Bowl
Joel Watson passed for 129 yards and three touchdowns as Jacob Hespeler High School from Cambridge steamrolled Gananoque 48-0. Hespeler receiver Xavier Pineda caught a pair of touchdowns passes while Alex Marmon and Austin Dubois also found the end zone and the winners rolled up 17 first-quarter points and led 31-0 at the half.
Simcoe Bowl
Holy Trinity from Courtice walked through their season 9-0 by outscoring opponents 434-20 and they made believers of St. Joan of Arc from Barrie. Holy Trinity handed the Barrie school their first loss of the campaign, 38-21. Four of Matt Brown's six completions went for touchdowns: two to Josh Metzner and one each to Brady Loenhart and Aiden Ali. Quarterback Justin Winn threw for one major for Barrie and ran for another.

Rihanna barely escaped a near wardrobe malfunction at a Pre-Grammy Gala party hosted by Clive Davis at the Beverly Hills Hilton yesterday night. The Barbadian beauty wore a risqué Alexandre Vauthier Spring/Summer 2014 navel plunging yellow number that accentuated her toned curves and strappy gold Christian Louboutin shoes.
Desperately clinging on to her daring neckline, she also had to deal with ensuring that her lady garden was not exposed to all and sundry. The thigh high split [more crotch high split], ensured that male party-goer's had their tongues wagging with thoughts of unmentionables raging through their minds.

Eclipse - Performance for Ex Deo Libertas
Eclipse - Performance for Ex Deo Libertas from Louise Riley on Vimeo.
Documentation of a performance piece I created for the show 'Ex Deo Libertas', for The Life is Art Foundation in Sonoma, California.
The piece creates a parallel universe, the complete focus between the artist and the model creates this otherworldly intimacy where nothing else exists. The remnants of this communication being recorded/stitched in the 'portal lense'.
The flying nature of it, floating above the crowd, a dreamlike self, above a waking self, plays on notions of reality.

A Sequoia-sized Goal: Amherst Aims to Plant a Million Trees in 5 Years
Nov. 8, 2019
Trees dot the former Westwood Country Club in Amherst in this aerial photo. The town wants to plant one million trees over the next five years at locations that could include the former golf course.
The math behind Amherst's push to plant 1 million new trees in the town over the next five years is eye-catching.
In a town of about 34,000 total acres, it requires planting 29 trees on each acre of land.
It means putting 549 trees in the ground every day for the next five years – or 730 trees daily if you don't count the winter months.
And to put that in context, consider the town now plants about 400 new trees each year.

They don't get much fresher than this!!
We are now about to have this guy get us fresh coconuts on a daily basis, he is going top the nuts, drain out the water sieve it so we can bottle it everyday. I love it and could drink it all the time, we can also make our own fresh coconut milk instead of buying, finishes a curry off so much better.
I am using all of the husks as well, we are using them for our smoker I had built when I first got here. I mix the husks with the chips from the Takamaka & Casarina trees on the Island which Gregg's guys get ready for us, we also add some tonka beans to the smoking mix, adds a nice flavour.
We are smoking tomorrow, so will post the results in the afternoon, after a trip to the vegetable garden today we've got some great things to put in..

No seasonal sex ratio shift despite sex-specific fitness returns of hatching date in a lizard with genotypic sex determination
Publishing year: 2006
Language: English
Pages: 2131-2136
Publication/Series: Evolution
Volume: 60
Issue: 10
Document type: Journal article
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
Abstract english
Sex allocation theory predicts that mothers should adjust their sex-specific reproductive investment in relation to the predicted fitness returns from sons versus daughters. Sex allocation theory has proved to be successful in some invertebrate taxa but data on vertebrates often fail to show the predicted shift in sex ratio or sex-specific resource investment. This is likely to be partly explained by simplistic assumptions of vertebrate life-history and mechanistic constraints, but also because the fundamental assumption of sex-specific fitness return on investment is rarely supported by empirical data. In short-lived species, the time of hatching or parturition can have a strong impact on the age and size at maturity. Thus, if selection favors adult sexual-size dimorphism, females can maximize their fitness by adjusting offspring sex over the reproductive season. We show that in mallee dragons, Ctenophorus fordi, date of hatching is positively related to female reproductive output but has little, if any, effect on male reproductive success, suggesting selection for a seasonal shift in offspring sex ratio. We used a combination of field and laboratory data collected over two years to test if female dragons adjust their sex allocation over the season to ensure an adaptive match between time of hatching and offspring sex. Contrary to our predictions, we found no effect of laying date on sex ratio, nor did we find any evidence for within-female between-clutch sex-ratio adjustment. Furthermore, there was no differential resource investment into male and female offspring within or between clutches and sex ratios did not correlate with female condition or any partner traits. Consequently, despite evidence for selection for a seasonal sex-ratio shift, female mallee dragons do not seem to exercise any control over sex determination. The results are discussed in relation to potential constraints on sex-ratio adjustment, alternative selection pressures, and the evolution of temperature-dependent sex determination.

The innovative project, supported by the federal government, is set to transform the built environment
A research project by the University of Sydney aims to provide real-time analysis of local attitudes towards major urban projects through a user-friendly platform that captures trending topics. It is being supported by the Australian Government through the Smart Cities and Suburbs programme.
The School of Architecture, Design and Planning's Smart Urbanism Lab identified the need for a human-centred design approach when planning built environments. Citizens are using online channels to engage on urban topics, however these conversations are widely spread, unstructured and often contain irrelevant noise. Currently there are no clear means for government and industry to access and analyse these conversations.
The project undertaken by the lab will develop new algorithms and tools to capture this information, giving locals a say when it comes to urban development and allowing local councils to capture these online opinions to improve decision-making. Ultimately, the research could be implemented across Australia to improve the liveability, productivity and sustainability of urban areas.
"We are grateful to receive this grant supporting research that plays an important role in the forward-thinking of those at the intersection of community, industry and government. The programme reflects our commitment to research excellence and strategy of engaging in opportunities raised through technological advancements," Dr Michael Spence, vice-chancellor and principal, University of Sydney.
Federal Minister for Urban Infrastructure and Cities, Paul Fletcher, said the project aimed to increase community involvement in the planning and evaluation of major projects in the cities of Logan in Queensland and Canada Bay in Sydney. "This project will provide real-time analysis of local attitudes towards major urban projects through a user-friendly platform that will help local governments keep across issues and prioritise their efforts," he said.
The research project, called Participatory Local Government: Enabling Community Participation for Logan and Canada Bay, will focus on four planning projects within the two council areas. Research in the City of Canada Bay will examine feedback around the transformation of Parramatta Road, with a second initiative informing the Five Dock revitalisation. Research in Logan City will examine feedback around the master planning for Cronulla Park and also examine feedback on the Yarrabilba community development.
"We are excited to be partnering with the City of Canada Bay and Logan City Council for this project," said Dr Tooran Alizadeh, director of urban design, the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning.
"Forward thinking, engaged local government is vital to ensuring citizens are part of smart urban decision-making processes."

Leopold von Meyer
December 12, 2007
Leopold von Meyer, (sometimes called "de Meyer"), was born in Baden, near Vienna, Austria on December 20th 1816 and died in Dresden, Germany on March 6th 1883. A piano-virtuoso of great technical ability, Meyer was a pupil of Czerny and Fischhof. After his debut in 1835 he spent most of his life on extended pianistic tours throughout Europe and America (1845-47), sojourning 1867-68 in Vienna. He abjured classical music in favor of his own shallow compositions, chiefly light salon-pieces and dances, which he played, however, in peculiarly effective style, somewhat marred by his extravagant contortions. His valse, "Souvenir de Vienne," is opus 180 in "The Biography of Leopold de Meyer" (London, 1845).

Link removal may be the best SEO strategy
Most of the link building tactics that have been used by the majority of the industry are no longer effective. Links have always been a major factor is determining search results which has caused for many business owners to try and increase the number of links to their website.
Link building campaigns usually miss the point as to why the link was of value in the first place. There is a big difference between natural and unnatural links to your website. Google is constantly getting better at determining the quality of links that point to your site. For the last few years link building practices haven't really had much of an impact on search results, it was pretty much ignored. It seems that it's not being ignored anymore, links from low quality sites can actually have a Negative seo affect. In order to overcome the penalty you may need to remove links that are of low quality.

Gorongosa Mountain

  Gorongosa Mountain is an isolated peak which rises spectacularly out of the surrounding plains. It is sacred in local traditions, while for birders it is the only site in southern Africa to see the Green-headed Oriole and one of only four for Swynnerton's Robin. Birding groups typically spend a single day here, but a longer visit, taking in more of the habitats, is likely to add significantly to current knowledge of the avifauna of the site. More than 250 species have been recorded on the mountain and immediate vicinity and 100 species on a day trip is possible. ====Specials==== Green-headed Oriole, Swynnerton's Robin, Eastern Bronze-naped Pigeon, Moustached Grass-Warbler, Black-and-white Flycatcher. The taxonomic status of the Greater Double-collared Sunbird which occurs on the more open slopes is uncertain. Originally, thought to be the Miombo Double-collared Sunbird, it has recently tentatively been declared an isolated subspecies of the Greater Double-collared Sunbird, and may yet be declared a distinct species. ====Habitats==== A dense lowland woodland with riverine thickets at the base, cliffs, scrubby slopes and montane forest higher up, and montane grassland at the peak. ====Facilities==== Accommodation and camping is available in the Gorongosa National Park (60 km from the mountain). Overnight camping on the mountain can be arranged. ====Birding==== Birding is generally limited to the route up and down the mountain while in search of the Green-headed Oriole. ====General==== Access to Gorongosa Mountain is dependant on making arrangements with a local guide. The usual route is up the north-west slope of the mountain, leaving from the village of Canda about 15km north of Gorongosa town. The usual routine is to pick up the guide, pay respects to local traditions (including a ceremony and some small gifts), and then to drive about 15 kms up the mountain, park at a disused quarry and walk up or drive to Mangwana (near Morrumbodze waterfall). From here one hikes the remaining 7km or so to the forest. Its a steep uphill climb and time depends on the fitness level of the group. Trips can be arranged by contacting Mangwana tours at [firstname.lastname@example.com.|firstname.lastname@example.com.] or [www.ecomangwana.com|www.ecomangwana.com]. The cost of an all day guided hike is R120 and half day is R60 per person. Porters can be arranged for a small additional fee. Alternatively, bird guide Simba Munyambo is based in Gorongosa NP and can be contacted on 00258 826090421 or [firstname.lastname@example.comemail@example.com] for trips up the mountain.

Day 1 - Arduous Approach
We continued driving up the Dean River road until we reached a logging road spur that branches off across the valley from Anahim Peak. [photo]P9042157.JPG[caption]Anahim Peak[/photo]
We managed to drive our low-clearance vehicle about 4.5 km up this road before progress was blocked.
After packing up, we hiked to the end of the road, which was only 400 m away from where we parked. We went through a short band of forest, crossed Festuca Creek, and then reached a [px]P9042163.jpg[c]cow bridge[/px] that re-crosses Festuca Creek. On the other side lay a broken down cattle fence. From here we needed to cross a swamp.
We spend considerable time trying to find a route through the swamp, which seemed to get deeper the further in we went. After finally giving up trying to keep our feet dry, we forced our way toward a line of trees on the other side of the swamp. Luckily we found a [px]P9042166.jpg[c]beaver dam[/px] to overcome the deepest portion of the swamp. After finally reaching the trees, we took a GPS waypoint at a small hump, and then followed a direct compass bearing toward a draw that cuts through the steep west edge of the Ilgachuz plateau.
We went through a couple more smaller swamps before reaching a gradual upward slope where the ground was drier. Abruptly we reached a massif area of... To see the full trip report you must login as a paid member. Use the Login Page. (message p3)

NASCAR CEO Brian France taking 'indefinite leave of absence' after arrest
NASCAR CEO and chairman Brian France is taking an "idefinite leave of absence" after he was arrested Sunday in Sag Harbor, N.Y., and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
According to a release from Sag Harbor Village Police, France was taken into custody around 7:30 p.m. ET and held overnight before being arraigned and released Monday morning.

"Mr. France was observed operating a 2017 Lexus northbound on Main Street failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign," the release read. "Upon traffic stop, it was determined that Mr. France was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition.
"Upon search of his person, due to a lawful arrest, Mr. France was in possession of Oxycodone pills."
NASCAR released a statement later Monday (via The Associated Press) saying, in part, the organization was "aware of the incident" and "in the process of gathering information."
A few hours later, France followed with a statement announcing he would step away from the organization.
"I apologize to our fans, our industry and my family for the impact of my actions last night," France said (via The Charlotte Observer). "Effective immediately, I will be taking an indefinite leave of absence from my position to focus on my personal affairs."
TMZ Sports first reported the incident, noting that France's blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

Dear Cleo
I hope you are well, me, well there is always something new to do at the OCA, today's new thing is the parallel project, I m not really sure how to deal with this but I think if I Keep going with the head down it may turn into something good.
Parallel Project Collaboration
1.1 Drawing with Auburn
The start point for my Parallel Project is to chart the growth of drawing in human beings from an early age, I am going to collaborate with Auburn and chart his drawing ability. At eighteen month he has only just started to hold a pencil so I think that by charting his progress, I may discover some of the secrets of drawing.
For three months I have collected Auburns drawings and watched Auburn draw. This is the first drawing that he produced during that period.
Figure 1 (17 11 09 01) Drawing 001 by Auburn 25 March 2017 ink on A5 Cartridge
This, the first drawing I collected is particularly impressive, Auburn was new to drawing and seemed keen to impress his adult friend who had trusted him with the pen and a sketchbook. What did he know, not an awful lot. I didn't interfere being careful not to disturb the tabula rasa that was Auburn except to invert the drawing. What can Auburn see in it? I will never know, he had not yet the vocabulary to explain.
What did I, his collaborator see in it, Joseph and Mary on their way to Nazareth with an embryonic infant Jesus X rayed in the Virgins womb, complete with a shadow of the cross. That is probably the problem with no longer being a child, the tendency to over think things. I also thought it reminded me.
It also reminded me of Head of Germaine Reynal by Juan Gris and it was from Gris that I collaborated with Auburns drawing to produce this.
Figure 2 (17 11 09 02) Star Wars character inspired by Auburn and Gris, ink on A5 Cartridge
As an aside, Juan Gris was the first student of cubism, although Gris was an early cubist, it fell to him to provide rules and explanations that assimilated Picasso and Braque's intuitive cubism into the continuum of the Western Art Cannon.
Hope you like the drawings of Auburn, Gris and me and I will catch up with you at weekend.
All my love as always

Hi Helmut,
Have you tried with disable-output-escaping="yes" ?
Also if you have the PI with the SP necessary you can try the instruction xsl:character-map, check this link Disable-output-escaping and xsl:character-map
Hi Helmut,
You have an example to skip characters in this link (not very elegant) xml - Remove characters not in specified XSLT encoding - Stack Overflow
You would need to set all the charset, may be other SCN member had a better way to do it
Hi all,
the problem is, that xsl:character-map is not available in XSLT 1.0 :-(
disable-escaping does not work for some reason ...
The "positive list" is also not good as we want to see regular Chinees and Japanese characters.
But I have solved it now like this:
<xsl:template match="E1EDKT2">
<xsl:if test="position() > 1"><xsl:value-of select="'
'" /></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(TDLINE,'😃','')" />
Whenever I have another "bad guy" I need to add is as well... But since one your it was the 2nd time ... So I assume it's an acceptable approach.
Hi Helmut,
XSLT 2.0 is supported from the PI versions 7.31 SP10 & 11 / 7.4 SP05&06 (How to.. Import and use XSLT 2.0 mappings in SAP PI/PO)

Initiatives Launch to Support Holistic Care of People with Cancer
Initiatives Launch to Support Holistic Care of People with Cancer
Fulfilling a dream more than two decades in the making, Rev. Rodney Kelly, BCH; Board Certified Consulting Hypnotist, & Self-Healing Trainer, has announced the formation of a new foundation and holistic cancer care group based out of The Bridge Healing Arts Center in Farmington.
"There are two issues we're trying to address through the Eye of the Eagle Foundation," Kelly explains. "The first is that not enough people know how many options are available for working with their cancer or enhancing their care. The second is that even if people are aware, many of the helpful and supportive modalities are not covered by insurance. That makes them cost-prohibitive."
Kelly says the Holistic Cancer Support Group now being assembled will be the first of its type in the state. The group will include a variety of holistic practices and practitioners seeking to empower those diagnosed with cancer to take an active role in their battle using alternative options. Most hospitals offer support groups for individuals with cancer, but there is growing interest about holistic options to help with the medical, emotional and even spiritual battles that arise during the journey. This is the niche the new group aims to fill.
"There is another way to fight a better battle in addressing their condition. Supportive modalities focus on aiding the body's natural abilities to fight against the disease," Kelly says. "That's the whole purpose of this. This is a concept I've been working on for over 20 years and I feel such joy about this coming to fruition. We are going to be able to help so many people."
The group is now recruiting practitioners that focus on specific modalities such as nutrition and pain management, as well as integrative physicians and other specialists that may be of significant benefit to people suffering from cancer. The group will be open to resident and non-resident practitioners of the Bridge Healing Arts Center.
To address the financial issue, Eye of the Eagle Foundation will become a non-profit foundation that will raise funding to support the holistic approaches to not only cancer, but a plethora of additional medical conditions. The group was formed in November, has elected its first board, and plans to be running in the first quarter of 2019. A GoFundMe campaign is in the works and grant requests are now being written. The officers for the coming year are: Secretary Lorina "Jane" Buonanducci, Microscopic Blood Analyst; Treasurer Kristina Diamond, Reiki Master, Energy Healer and Grant Writer; Vice President Dr. Joe Brenton, ND; Naturopathic Doctor and Native American Spiritualist; and President Kelly.
Once the foundation is running, patients will pay a copay for the services they receive and the foundation's fund will pay the balance to the practitioners. When patients are in later stage cancer situations, the fund will likely pay 100 percent. All support will be based on a need basis after an individual financial evaluation is completed.
"These services are drastically needed in our communities and beyond," Kelly says. "If you have a burning desire to benefit people that either are or will, at some time in the future be afflicted with cancer, then we implore upon you to take a giant step forward and become an integral part of this program."
For more information, please call Rod Kelly at 860-216-8671 or email [email protected]. Location: The Bridge Healing Arts Center, 304 Main St, Farmington. See ad, page 2.

Two days in a row, my friends, two days in a row.
And I have no desire or goal to hold out hope that I'm on some sort of success streak, because dollars to donuts (what does THAT even MEAN?) it will all come crashing down around me sometime next week. I just hope that the aforementioned observation is not happening when the inevitable happens.
Constructivism, Instructivism, ConnectivismI've been using Socratic discussion as a means for student engagement and advancing lesson directions for a long time. The time passes quickly, the kids enjoy both participating and listening to the discussion, and when the planets and stars align, I sit back and nod to myself, silently muttering "this is GOOD STUFF." The wonderful folks at Te@chthought recently shared specific names for the various types of instruction in which most high schools root their lessons -- try these on for size:
We've all been seated in a classroom taught by an Instructivist. Understand that there is a time and a place for such lessons -- often in an acquisition lesson, if you're LFS savvy -- and I work my hardest to keep from being the deliverer of such a lesson. Gifted kids, especially, do not hang on every word. Not even every OTHER word, in a lecture, and being told how to experience new learning is anything but a desirable characteristic for most gifted kids.
In my recent self-diagnosis, I've decided that I am a strong proponent of Constructivism. It's both terrifying and freeing to have students defining their own learning and outcomes. Case in point, the darling first grader who was working hard today to discover, implement, and launch the Xylo program for Dash and Dot. She had seen the xylophone accessory in the box of supplies I tote from building to building, and was anxious to try this for herself. (Her teacher was not nearly as excited, having only seen Dash play the xylophone one previous time, while under the control of her 29 year old son in her living room.)
Eureka, my friends! Not only did we successfully choreograph a dance to the catchy tune of "This Old Man" performed on the xylophone by Dash himself, the choreographer and musical director, without any prompting from her teacher, put down the controlling ipad and went immediately to her journal to record her findings.
I was amazed. I was astounded. I was shocked that a first grader used punctuation, including quotation marks, commas, and exclamation marks correctly, all the while asking for no assistance with composition or spelling. Previously, she's recorded code that she's written to command the robots, while learning a bit about both coding and story sequencing as she experimented with cause and effect.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating for the elimination of teachers -- heck, I'd be out of a
This Constructivism thing has some serious merit, and through ongoing encouragement -- with both first graders and high schoolers -- I've seen the fruits of the spirit of patience.
When I began teaching, many an administrative walk-through focused on "wait time." Administrators with actual stopwatches would report that I, (or whatever teacher was the focus of the observed lesson), had given the kids less than 5, 10, 0r 15 seconds to consider and respond to a prompt or a question before pouncing on them with an answer. I found myself silently counting "Mississippis" in my head, forcing enough wait time to allow for, well, no criticism of my teaching.
So in the next few weeks, I'm purposefully sharing the conceptual lesson design with students, hoping that they will own their own learning just a bit more. Maybe they'll become connectivists, reflecting a bit more than normal, or encouraging others to search for deeper answers.
And maybe, just maybe, high school kids will be motivated by the story of a little first grader who crossed the unwritten boundaries of computer science, music, and writing, without a single prompt, to share her enthusiasm for learning.

New 2013 Phases of the Moon Animation Released
A new animation highlighting the phases of the Moon has been released by the Scientific Visualization Studio at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The animation shows at hourly intervals, the geocentric phase, libration, position angle of the Moon's axis, and apparent diameter of the Moon throughout the year 2013. Topographic measurements by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter make it possible to simulate shadows on the Moon's surface with unprecedented accuracy and detail. "Thanks to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, we now have excellent terrain maps of the Moon that can tell us the elevation at any point on the surface," said Ernie Wright, author of the new video from the Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS). "I use those maps to make the Moon sphere bumpy in all the right places.

These elaborately chased sauceboats from the Dean Street workshop in 1818-19 are in total contrast to the studied classicism of most of Rundell's silver during the Regency period. A growing interest in the rococo and its naturalistic decoration would find its full flowering in the 1820s.

Texting with Pingerby Amy Stanbrough
No matter if you love to text, hate it or fall somewhere in between, it's useful to be aware of Pinger. This free application can change how, when and where you send and receive messages. Pinger has a few fun features that many texting apps don't have, and you can use it for texting on an iPod Touch.
Nearly every cell phone comes with a texting application preinstalled. This native application knows that you and your phone number are -- according to the Internet -- one and the same. So when you send a text or photo to a friend and he or she replies, you receive it at the "address" that is really your phone number. Pinger cannot completely replace this native texting application. Although you can register your phone number with Pinger and receive texts to that number in the Pinger interface, you won't be able to send a text from your number through Pinger. This is because Pinger has its own network that must be accessed through an Internet or Wi-Fi connection. A message sent to your cell phone number uses your mobile carrier's network, so Pinger must retrieve it from them in order to deliver it to you. Pinger can't access your carrier's network to make a call or send a text from your number.
Phone Number
According to Terrence Sweeney of Pinger.com, any two people can send unlimited texts and make unlimited calls to one another anywhere in the world with the Pinger application. However, you will need to use the phone number Pinger assigns you when signing up to make calls and send texts. This phone number will be yours alone. If you want to use Pinger instead of a native texting application, you must instruct all of your contacts to use your Pinger number instead of your cell phone number. This might not be an issue if you don't use your phone for voice calls or if you only text on your iPod Touch.
Pinger is available for nearly every device and operating system. Versions for Mac and PC desktops and iOS and Android devices are downloadable from Google Play or the iTunes store. You can sync multiple devices through a single Pinger account. If your phone is in another room and you receive a text, the message is retrievable through the Pinger desktop app. You can reply to the message this way as well. All the messages will also be on your phone, so you won't have to backtrack to keep the conversation going as you move from phone to laptop to tablet.
Pinger boasts a "buzzword" feature you probably don't have in your native texting app. For example, if you type a buzzword like "pizza" into your text, Pinger will highlight it and link it to a related Web page that will allow you to order pizza; likewise, the word "weather" will link you to forecasts for your area.
