Minecraft Mod actually allows you to dive. But this isn’t just some silly mod where you flit around the map, looking for items. It’s realistic, it’s deep, and it’s the perfect mod for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and enjoys scavenging. Why not enjoy diving as well? That’s what I’ll be going over with this Minecraft Mod. It’s been two years since I last tried this, so it’s time to give it a whirl.
It’s been a while since I played this mod so I’m going to try and revisit it. The first thing I did was download the game, play around and play again the way I did when I was just starting out in the game. The problem I always had was that my gear was too lightweight. I couldn’t get down in the water without my suit. It was way too big and bulky.
So after I got over that, I started looking for a diving mod that would let me wear diving gears that are more heavy-duty. This way I could dive as deep as I wanted without having to worry about my gear. The problem with the gear weren’t the weight and size but the fact that they were so soft. They would often rip or bend, making it very hard to dive properly.
Thankfully, I was able to find a resource online that let me customize my gear. I was able to make it soft and sturdy – just like the real diving suits. I was able to find different colored versions of the diving suits too. The bright colors and patterns really made things stand out and it was fun decorating my suit. You can even have your name printed on it if you want.
I wasn’t content to just have my name on there though. I wanted my friends to have their names as well. So I added them all up. That’s when I found out this game is actually an adventure simulator. I got to travel to different places, do stuff and see different things in these virtual worlds. It was very fun to see how I would connect with the game.
After playing Better Diving 1.16.5 World for a few weeks, I can honestly say that I have fallen in love with the game. I still log on to play today. And I am sure I will continue to do so as long as there are games to play. I’m sure that there will be more adventure simulator games to come out in the future, but for now, Better Diving World is my favorite. It’s just a game that I want to log on to every single day.

On May 16, talking to PV, Ms. Nguyen Thi Len – Chairman of Yen Dong Commune People’s Committee, Yen Mo district, Ninh Binh province said that the local government has just coordinated with the authorities to search for Ms. Nguyen Thi. Appointment (49 years old) and Pham Thi Teo (57 years old, living in the same locality) got lost in the deep forest of high mountains (about 380ha wide) while catching snails.
According to initial information, on the morning of May 13, the two women asked each other to go to a mountainous area separated by Dong Thai lake to catch mountain snails to sell. As always, the two sisters only brought a sack containing snails, a little food to eat through the day and then return.
The sisters said that while catching snails, it rained heavily. At this time, the two sisters had gone deep into the forest, lost direction and could not determine the way back.
By the evening of the same day, when the sisters did not return, the family was very worried. Wait until early morning, everyone organizes to find and report to the authorities. At noon of the same day, receiving news, local authorities mobilized forces to search.
At about 3pm on May 14, her family found Ms. Hien and Ms. Teo on the top of a high mountain. Immediately the information was reported to the rescue team. The rescue team quickly approached, then together with relatives took the two victims outside.
“The time of finding, fortunately, both sisters were not injured, because they spent the night in the forest when it was raining, there was no food, so they were both hungry and cold. Both sisters’ health was also depleted due to climbing. mountains and forests to find a way out for many hours” – Chairman of Yen Dong commune shared.
According to Chairman of Yen Dong Commune People’s Committee, the government has mobilized the district police and military and many volunteers to join the search for the two missing women.
“With about 70 people from the forces and commune officials divided into 5 groups to go to the forest, Ms. Hien and Ms. Teo went missing. Because this area is located far from the large lake, the terrain is deep forest and high mountains. Therefore, the search was difficult. Rescue teams had to climb mountains and cross forests to try to find the victims.” – Chairman of Yen Dong commune for more information.
Until this morning, Ms. Tieu and Ms. Hien still had not stopped panicking after 2 days of wandering and stuck in the deep forest. Currently, both sisters are being cared for by relatives to soon stabilize their health and spirit.

Updated with Cisco Confirmation: If you want to know how bad it is going to get for all of us in Silicon Valley, just look at Cisco Systems (s CSCO). For first time in its history the company is going to shut down for four days at the end of the year, according to a report by UBS Research. Remember when such shutdowns were associated with industrial era companies? Well, this is the new past as they say. I heard that a major internal annual event has been put on hold as well.
Cisco’s four-day shutdown is part of an effort by the company to save $1 billion. It might be more than just cost savings because Cisco (and many of us) doesn’t have visibility into 2009. Cisco, as a company has just seen Wall Street, a major customer shrink in size. At the same time it is facing low-cost competition from Dell (s DELL), HP (s HPC) and Huawei. The New York Times is correct in identifying HP’s ProCurve businesses as slowly becoming a major competitor to Cisco. “HP is a much more formidable challenger to Cisco, and it has sent an obvious message,” Nikos Theodosopoulos, an analyst at UBS Securities told The Times.
Cisco has confirmed the shutdown and other cuts in a blog posting pointing out that it had started talking about these initiatives following its Q1 2009 earnings release
We will be target reductions in travel and discretionary-related expenses, including offsites, outside services, equipment, events, trade shows, marketing and other activities. As part of this effort, we will also implement a year-end shutdown of the US-Canada theater from December 29, 2008, through January 2, 2009 (note that January 1 is already a holiday). There will be some exceptions for targeted business-critical teams including technical assistance services and channel partner and customer product ordering services.
While this is not our first year-end shutdown as we followed this longstanding Silicon Valley practice in our early years as a company, it is our first in over a decade. Given the difficult macroeconomic conditions, we believe our cost control focus at this time is appropriate while still providing our partners and customers with critical services over the holiday period.

Because I’m never done thinking about all the people of the planet poking the wool in the name of awesomeness, I like to look all over the internet to find the pockets of preciousness. Today, let’s look at three of the mrxstitch-iest needle felted pieces that deviantART has to offer!
Got felt you need me to see? Drop me a line and I’ll sees it!
Felter Skelter is written by Moxie, who is an artist, fiber pusher and genuine human being. She likes you very much indeed.
What Technique Is This?
Needle Felting is the process of using a notched or “barbed” needle to compress layers of wool into denser felt that can be manipulated to create 3D sculptures. It is different to wet felting, which uses water to combine wool fibres, and these days there are a range of felting tools available that can enable you to make your own soft sculptures with ease!

In the early ’80s, there was a brief fad for vintage-style hobble skirts, which are so narrow that one can only take tiny steps. The term “hobble skirt” was first used in the early 1900s to describe designs by Paul Poiret. (Nowadays, we’d say we were dressing “steampunk.”)
I remembered the hobble skirts last Tuesday when I was wearing my ultra-tight vintage Patrick Kelly gown at the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner. It’s so tight around the legs that at some angles it looks like a catsuit, like it did here. But not in this photo from Getty/Michael Nagler! Thanks for getting this great shot, Mike. I’m trying to figure out how I can use it on my driver’s license and passport. What?! I like to look my best on government documentation!
As I minced along that night, it suddenly dawned on me that I was wearing a full-length hobble dress. Luckily, I wasn’t in a rush. If I had been in a hurry, I would have been better off with the opposite of a hobble: a Bonnie Cashin hitch-up skirt.
Cashin, who died in 2000, was a groundbreaking sportswear designer. You might recognize her name because she designed handbags for Coach, which did some Cashin-inspired pieces last year. How I wish I had a photo of the Coach bag I had in high school! We all had Coach bags with the toggle closure, which Cashin had introduced decades earlier.
She did the same closure on outerwear.
Cashin explained the origin of her hitch-up skirt design in an interview:
“My studio, out in the country, in Briarcliff, in the old carriage house, had steps that went up to a second floor. And I was constantly holding my skirts going up. I entertained a lot. And I’d be running up stairs with a martini in my hand. And so I thought I’d better hitch my skirt permanently.”
Here is an example from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art describes the style this way:
The Cashin silhouette … is … achieved with an unusual skirt fastener. She called this favorite device her “dog leash” in recognition of that simple hardware. The effect is to winch up the cloth and make the mohair more layered and luxurious by a profoundly simple hitch.
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana ?
Except, being a good story-teller, she never said the last line. She would come up with something new. It might start out “Orange went to the supermarket and met Peach and Plum …” and continue along those lines for quite a few minutes. All the fruits and vegetables would get in on the action. Orange you glad little children are so cute?

While most people talk about the boat experience on the lake but here I will tell you, what else you can do in Lake Havasu without a boat.
Parker Dam on the Colorado River is the leading basement of Lake Havasu; it has stretched a serene expanse across more than 19,000 acres, with amenities like a picturesque playground for water enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

Today we will talk in detail about the warm hospitality, the myriad of activities, and the undeniable allure of its scenic surroundings Lake Havasu.
What to Do in Lake Havasu without A Boat?
Lake Havasu City is very attractive for its stunning blue waters, rugged desert landscapes, and recreational facilities. While Lake Havasu is famous for being a boater’s paradise, there is nothing to be hesitated if you don’t have the privilege to get a boat.
There are hundreds of exciting activities that you can experience and do in Lake Havasu without a boat. Are you a nature lover, adventure seeker, or someone who is a data and evidence collector of history and culture? Lake Havasu City has something to offer for every type of people.
1. Explore Lake Havasu State Park

The park also has trails where you can do hiking, perfect for a nature walk or immerse yourself in breathtaking views of the beloved lake and surrounding desert.
The park features three boat ramps, fifty-four campsites, thirteen beach-side cabins, a specialized event zone, a picnic zone, and natural beaches to make your trip unforgettable. The Arroyo-Camino Interpretive Garden gives you the smell of the diverse life circle within the park and the desert area. You will often see birds, lizards, and cottontails of desert in the park.
2. Visit the London Bridge
One of Lake Havasu’s most iconic attractions is the London Bridge. The bridge was originally made in 1831 to span the Thames River in London but it was slowly sinking into the river so the authority had to disassemble the bridge.
The bridge was put on an auction and a Richman named Robert McCulloch won the bid, he wanted to take the bridge in his new city in the Arizona desert. So the bridge got shipped over from England in the 1960s and got reassembled brick by brick.
Though there was no necessity for a bridge in Lake Havasu City, the landlord wanted to take this ancient piece of history to increase the importance of his newly built city. In 1971 the London Bridge got officially opened in Arizona. The bridge now connects the mainland to an island and serves as a gateway to various shops, restaurants, and entertainment options.
3. Take a Tour of the City
If you are a random travel freak then I will say it is mandatory for you to join a guided tour to explore the city’s landmarks and learn about its history. The knowledgeable guides will provide fascinating insights into Lake Havasu City’s development and the intriguing story behind the London Bridge. The city has more than 140 restaurants, it simply provides you with the idea of diverse dining opportunities in the city.
The restaurants serve diverse and delicious dining options. The Turtle Grille at the Nautical Beachfront Resort, Javelina Cantina, Barley Brothers Brewery, Shugrue’s, Makai Café, and Blue Chair are a few popular resorts in the city. Lake Havasu City offers cold, refreshing local beer to locals and tourists.
4. Enjoy Water Activities on the Beach
Although you might not have a boat, you can still partake in various water-based activities. Rent paddleboards, kayaks, or jet skis to paddle or ride along the lake’s calm waters. You can experience a different perspective so closer to nature. In the seasons of spring, summer, and fall you will be able to rent kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards at London Bridge Beach in Lake Havasu City.
The northern side of Lake Havasu City is a popular spot for paddling. Also, there are a lot of little coves and secret spots to swim and picnic. Approximated to be around 4.25 miles long, the water trail takes paddlers by the shores of the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. Where you can meet and sight hundreds of different species of birds, coyotes, foxes, and bobcats.
The Topock Gorge, a mountainous, wild canyon north of Lake Havasu City will give you an extraordinary peaceful breath. You should take a guided full-moon tour of the gorge. If you are a kayak lover, this is definitely one of the best things to do in Lake Havasu.
5. Go Fishing
You might don’t know that Lake Havasu has a good reputation as a fishing destination, and you can try your luck from the shoreline. There are several spots surrounding the lake where you can enjoy the pleasure of fishing for bass, catfish, and some other freshwater fishes.
6. Hike Sara Park
Who says that you can not have any fun in Lake Havasu without a boat? In the list of adventurous entertainment around the lake, hiking is one of the best things to do in the winter season. Lake Havasu offers some fantastic hiking trails, whether you’re looking for a calm nature walk or an all-day excursion. If you pay the visit in the winter that will provide perfect weather for hiking the desert trails around Lake Havasu.
Venture to SARA Park, which is the most recommended trail for hiking and mountain biking. The trails go through the desert landscape that witness the area’s unique views of cliffs, rock formations, and wading birds.
This five-mile loop will lead you to a sandy wash, through a beautiful slot canyon, and down to the wonderful lake. While returning, you can take the way that you came by, or climb to the yellow trail, which provides an amazing stunning scenario of the lake and the mountains.
7. Visit the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge
A visit to the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge is a must to observe migratory birds and other native wildlife in their natural lifestyle. The National Wildlife Refuge seems to be a dream zone for those who are enthusiasts to know or watch the real bird or wildlife; or those who are interested to write either a research paper-blog or a book on practical wildlife.
The refuge contains more than 318 bird species practicing their own diverse habitats and nature. Suddenly you will see some coyotes, foxes, and bobcats cross the roads searching for rabbits or mice.
8. Visit Rotary Community Park at Lake Havasu
Rotary Community Park is a centrally located park that is a relaxing point for both residential and non-residential visitors. The lush green grass, walkways that are shaded by trees, and safe buoyed swim areas of the park offer a peaceful environment to wind down and relax.
The park is easily accessible by boat or car. This park is one of the most beloved places for enjoining picnics in the city as a result though there are around sixteen picnic spots inside the area then also you might have to book a picnic zone or ramada at least forty-five days before your expected date. The picnic zone features a shade canopy, barbecue, picnic table, and an amazing view of Lake Havasu.
9. Explore the Lake Havasu Museum of History
Gain insights into the region’s rich history and cultural heritage at the Lake Havasu Museum of History. It features exhibits and artifacts that showcase the city’s past and the native tribes that once inhabited the area.

Get into the shoes of the dreamer of this city, Robert McCulloch. He has built an empire in a barren desert land.
10. Stroll Along the Bridgewater Channel
There was no need for a bridge when the London Bridge was reassembled in Lake Havasu. So there was a channel built underneath the bridge. That is another fascinating place to take a leisurely walk along. The channel is lined with shops, eateries, and vibrant nightlife, offering a delightful ambiance day and night.
11. Attend Local Events
The city is full of fun and enjoyment; the local event calendar is always scheduled for festivals, concerts, boat races, fairs, festivals like the balloon festival (2024), and many other special events. So check if any event is taking place during your visit dates. Lake Havasu City often hosts various events, creating a vibrant atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.
12. Explore the Aesthetic Sunset
From the beginning, I have been talking about the natural beauty of Lake Havasu which has made a sweet scratch on my heart. If you do nothing at the destination then also you must at least explore and feel the hypnotic nature of the location. The breathtaking sunsets over Lake Havasu are one of the most impressive scenarios that you will never-ever forget in your life.
Look for a comfortable spot along the shoreline earlier than sunset time and enjoy the natural spectacle as the sun goes out of sight it starts casting hues of orange and purple across the sky and the water.

More floods affect lake and riverine areas as end of the March to May rainy season approaches
• Devastating flooding continued around the Lake Victoria basin in Uganda and Kenya as well as in Rwanda, Burundi, and parts of southern Somalia.
• Outside of flood-affected areas, rainfall significantly subsided, marking an early to timely cessation of the long rains season in parts of the eastern Horn and much of Tanzania.
• Cropping and rangeland conditions remain favorable across most of the region, despite the recent devastating floods which negatively impacted some agricultural areas in the central and western sectors.
• According to the rainfall forecast, there is an increased likelihood of moderate to locally very heavy rain in the western sector and parts of the northern sector through the end of May, signaling an early to timely onset of the main June to September rainfall season in western Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Sudan.

The Everglades is a place like no other. Everglades National Park is only an hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Miami. It protects 1.5 million acres of Floridaâs southern tip and hence was established in 1947 to preserve the biological diversity and resources of the Everglades ecosystems. There are three main entry points to this National park: the Gulf Coast Visitor Center, which is closest to Naples and south of Everglades city; the Shark Valley area that can be accessed by US 41; and the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center, the parkâs main headquarters.
The Everglades are home to a diverse array of wildlife within the parkâs five different habitats: the Hammock, Mangrove, Pineland, Sawgrass, and Slough. Tree frogs, alligators, the American crocodile, manatee, Key deer, otters, and the Florida panther are some of the Evergladesâ animals.
There are two primary seasons in the Florida Everglades: wet and dry. From December to April, the dry season brings low humidity and mild temperatures from 53Â°F to 77Â°F. This is peak tourist season because the water levels are lower and the animals congregate in central water locations. The wet season lasts from May through November. Temperatures during this time of year can exceed 90Â°F. Humidity levels are higher and it rains the majority of the time.
- ANHINGA TRAIL:
Four miles after entering the park you come to the one âmust doâ of the Everglades visit â the Anhinga Trail at Royal Palm. The trail is named after the Anhinga, a really spectacular bird. You will certainly see them on the trail perched on trees drying their wings. It is probably one of the most popular and frequented at Everglades National Park because it is easy to get to, it is home to tons of wildlife, the boardwalks and pathways that traverse the area get you close to the action and you can enjoy the many landscapes surrounding this spot.
The trail begins with the Royal Palm Visitor Center, it is a short trail. It manages to deliver an unbelievable display and a variety of ecosystems as you go on the paved paths and elevated boardwalks that traverse the terrain.
The boardwalks are just wonderful for wildlife viewing; the alligators swim in and out of view, go under the boardwalk to reappear on the other side. This is a great spot not only for sighting alligators, but all kinds of birds as well. Besides anhingas, you find cormorants, white egrets, ibis, green herons, little blue herons, and the gorgeous great blue heron.
Best times for wildlife viewing is in the dry season in the winter and early spring.Â Â
- SHARK VALLEY:
Shark Valley is a geological depression at the head of the Shark River Slough in far western Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. Shark Valley characteristically includes Sawgrass prairie that floods during the rainy season, hence the name “river of grass”âPa-Hay-Okee, from the Mikasuki languageâfor such marshes in the Everglades. The entrance to Shark Valley is located along the Tamiami Trail (US 41). Wildlife seen in Shark Valley includes alligators, ibis, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, raccoons, white-tailed deer, and various amphibians. The name of Shark Valley does cause some confusion because there are no sharks here. The Shark reference comes from the Shark River. The mouth of this river is on the Gulf of Mexico, and the Shark River Slough is the main source of fresh water for this part of the Everglades. If you were to venture along the river far enough towards the gulf, you would encounter sharks, which just never make it to the Everglades.
Those wishing to explore alone can walk the short trails and portions of the tram road, or bike.
- Bobcat Broadwalk (Walk): This self-guided boardwalk trail meanders through the Sawgrass slough and tropical hardwood forests.
- Otter Cave Hammock Trail (Walk): Trail goes through a tropical hardwood forest with small foot-bridge over a small stream.
- Tram Road (Hike, Bike or Tram): This flat, paved road is used for tram rides, bicycling, and walking. Along the road you may see alligators, herons, egrets, deer, turtles, and snail kites. An observation tower at the halfway point provides panoramic views.
- GUMBO LIMBO TRAIL:
It is located to the right of the Royal Palm visitor center. The trail is named for the tropical tree with the distinctive red bark; some park rangers call it the âtourist treeâ in honor of sunburned visitors. A short, 1/3-mile walk, the dirt path winds through a hardwood hammock that is truly jungle-like. The dense foliage of the Gumbo Limbo Trail is a reliable place to locate the Liguus tree snails that graze on the algae, fungi and lichen growing on tree bark. The effects of past storms on some of the gumbo limbo trees will be demonstrated here for years to come. The winds toppled a number of the trees but did not destroy them. Native to a part of the world where hurricanes frequently occur, gumbo limbo trees surviveâeven if toppled sidewaysâby sending out a new root system.
The gumbo limbo is a true survivor, and the hurricaneâs destructive effects graphically demonstrate this.
- PA-HAY-OKEE TRAIL:
The Pa-hay-okee Overlook Trail is a short walk along a raised boardwalk which offers sweeping vistas of the Everglades river of grass. Pa-hay-okee is a Seminole word meaning grassy waters and this land has long been inhabited by American Indians. The trail starts off on a boardwalk lined with Magnolia trees. As the boardwalk cuts through a hardwood hammock, the landscape quickly opens up to reveal a Bald Cypress forest. These coniferous Bald Cypress trees lose their needle-like leaves in winter due to the seasonal drought. It continues past the Bald Cypress forest and onto the overlook. Here, interpretive signs explain the ecology of the Shark River Slough. The slough is an 8-mile wide sheet of slowly moving water. It flows southwest towards the Gulf of Mexico and is the central support system of the Everglades.
Flamingo is the southernmost headquarters of Everglades National Park, in Monroe County, Florida, Unites States. Flamingo is located at the end of the 99-mile Wilderness Waterway known as the Ten Thousand Islands, and the southern end of the only road ] through the park from Florida City. It all began as a small coastal settlement on the eastern end of Cape Sable, on the southern tip of the Florida peninsula, facing Florida Bay
Flamingo was first settled around 1892, although Tequesta Indians had lived in the area prior to that. The settlers made a living by providing fish, fresh vegetables and charcoal to Key West
The Flamingo Visitor Center is the pink building located at the end of Florida State Road 9335 overlooking the Florida Bay. The visitor center offers many services, which includes backcountry camping permits, trip planning for Wilderness Waterway as well as the trail maps, educational displays and informational brochures. Flamingo is one of the interpretive centers of the Everglades National Park. The hiking trails such as the Snake Bight Trail, Christian Point Trail, Rowdy Bend Trail and Coastal Prairie Trail allow visitors to experience the buttonwood, mangrove and coastal prairie ecosystems. The Coastal Prairie trail leads to the former town of Flamingo. Eco Pond is man-made and is part of the Flamingo’s sewage treatment system. As the largest body of fresh water in the saltwater area of the Everglades it attracts birds in abundance. It had been surrounded by invasive, non-native Brazilian pepper bushes before the National Park Service recently removed this alien weed and replaced it with native vegetation.
In addition to hiking, the national park offers many paddling opportunities to traveler to explore the wilderness through the mangrove mazes, Sawgrass prairies and open waters of Florida Bay. A guided boat tour, narrated by the boat captains, is also available at the Flamingo. Some enthusiasts take advantage of canoe or kayak rentals available from Everglades National Park Boat Tour next to the marina store. Flamingoâs Canoe Trails range from half mile short distance to 99 mile long Wilderness Waterway trail and most of them can be accessed from launch areas in Flamingo.

A beautifully written and deeply personal book on the jigsaw and the part it plays in the patchwork of its distinguished author’s life. A mix of memoir, jigsaw history and the strange delights of puzzling
In The Pattern in the Carpet the award-winning and beloved writer Margaret Drabble explores her own family story alongside the history of her favourite childhood pastime – the jigsaw. The result is an original and moving personal history about remembrance, growing older, the importance of play and the ways in which we make sense of our past by ornamenting our present.
“Engrossing … Blends family history and reflection with social and cultural history to reveal the novelist’s passion for jigsaws … Moving and candid … Fascinating”
See more reviews
“A mature overview of a lifetime spent fitting objects together in various ways before breaking them up and beginning all over again”
“Touchingly human and often wise … a book with such enthusiasm for its subject matter that it makes you long to embark on your own jigsaw”
“Throws poignant light on the difficult jigsaw of human life – and on how to shed harmful thought patterns and reassemble them into something less destructive”
“Part memoir, part rigorously researched historical perspective, Drabble’s book is a multi-layered look at jigsaw puzzles and their role through the ages for society, individuals and herself; it’s also a charming homage to Drabble’s beloved Auntie Phyl, who passed her lifelong love of jigsaws on to Drabble”
Dame Margaret Drabble was born in Sheffield in 1939 and was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge. She is the author of eighteen novels including A Summer Bird-Cage, The Millstone, The Peppered Moth, The Red Queen, The Sea Lady and most recently, the highly acclaimed The Pure Gold Baby. She has also written biographies, screenplays and was the editor of the Oxford Companion to English Literature. She was appointed CBE in 1980, and made DBE in the 2008 Honours list. She was also awarded the 2011 Golden PEN Award for a Lifetime’s Distinguished Service to Literature. She is married to the biographer Michael Holroyd.

France’s foreign minister warns that Lebanon is running out of time before it could see a total collapse, urging the country’s fractious politicians to form a new government to save it from economic and financial disaster.
Jean-Yves Le Drian says such a collapse would spell disaster not only for the Lebanese people, but also for the hundreds of thousands of Syrian and Palestinian refugees it hosts, as well as the entire region.
He speaks to reporters in Paris, months after French President Emanuel Macron proposed a road map to break Lebanon’s political stalemate over the formation of a new government. Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab’s government resigned days after the massive explosion at Beirut port in August.
Macron has been pressing Lebanese politicians to form a Cabinet made up of non-partisan specialists that can work on urgent reforms to extract Lebanon from a financial crisis worsened by the Aug. 4 explosion. Macron has traveled twice to Beirut since then and has made it a personal mission to try to repair the damaged country.
Those efforts have led to nowhere as Lebanon’s famously corrupt politicians continue to bicker about the shape and size of a new Cabinet while the country is mired in the worst economic crisis in its modern history — a situation has been exacerbated by pandemic restrictions.

This is especially the case with the vocals, where both the screamed and clean sides have a lot of aggression and effort without sounding strained. The speed of the drum.

The Edinburgh Centre for Robotics featured strongly in the Heriot-Watt University showcase of Laser-based Manufacturing, Marine Science and Robotics at the Scottish Government reception celebrating ‘Scotland's Science - Past, Present and Future’. The event was held on Tuesday 8th December at Our Dynamic Earth and was hosted by Dr Alasdair Allan MSP, Minister for Science, Learning and Scotland’s Languages; the guests included the Principal, Professor Richard A. Williams.
On 1st December 2015, Professor Sethu Vijayakumar, Director of the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics Professor of Robotics in the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, concluded a contract signing with Hitachi's Central Research Labs (CRL-CER) in Tokyo, with support from UKTI and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. This marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration in the domain of intelligent warehousing and autonomous manipulation robots between the School of Informatics and one of the leading manufacturing giants of Japan.
We are delighted to publish our last Newsletter of the year. Some of the highlights in this issue are:
*Inauguration of our ECR student blog
*Exciting updates on Robotarium equipment
*A brief report on our Edinburgh Centre for Robotics first annual Conference
Earlier today, Prof Sethu Vijayakumar, co-director of the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics, was interviewed by BBC World Service radio about the NASA Valkyrie robot project. He explained why Valkyrie resembles human beings and talked about its use in space exploration, as well as its applications on Earth.
To hear the full interview, please visit: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p038f64b
On 3rd and 4th November 2015, researchers from the groups of Nicolas Mansard (LAAS, Toulouse), Jeremy Wyatt (U. of Birmingham) and Matt Howard (Kings College London) visited for two days to discuss avenues for potential collaboration in the area of humanoid control and manipulation. After a presentions from the visiting groups, Edinburgh research staff and PhD students gave a tutorial session demonstrating their humanoid simulation environment, research in whole-body motion planning and locomotion.
On Friday 23rd October 2015, the first Edinburgh Centre for Robotics took place in the James Watt Centre II at Heriot-Watt University. Industrial delegates, academic staff and students (CDT & aligned) attended the event. Professor Peter Corke, from Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, opened the Conference with his talk “Why Robots See?”, which highlighted the similarities and differences between human and robot visions, as well as pondered on the future of Robotics in relation to recent advances in Computer Vision.
At the end of last week a large wooden crate arrived at the Robotics Lab at Heriot-Watt University. Since then our team has been busy unpacking and assembling our latest piece of equipment. We are now delighted to share images of the FLASH robot, the latest addition to the Robotics Lab. His unique, mechanoidal appearance allows him to avoid the uncanny valley phenomenon and use gestures, face and the whole body to efficiently express emotions.
Professor Sethu Vijayakumar, who holds a RAEng - Microsoft Research Chair in Robotics and is the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics director at the University of Edinburgh, delivered the first lecture in the University’s Our Changing World series for 2015 on Tuesday 29th September 2015.
The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh (Robotarium East) has been successful with a Horizon 2020 research proposal, called TrimBot2020. The project will research the underlying robotics and vision technologies and prototype the first outdoor garden trimming robot. The robot will navigate over varying terrain, approach rose bushes, hedges and boxwood topiary, to trim them to an ideal shape.
"Robots that can understand human emotions are being brought into Scottish schools to help with teaching. It’s hoped the machines will be used to assist in subjects such as history or geography – and because they can sense when children are bored, frustrated or unhappy, they’ll be able to adapt their teaching methods in a simpler way to a human tutor."


The Engine Room TV
TV Show Video - Proof of concept
Based on developing an idea for cars and reality TV, we provided development of the TV format and then created a proof of concept video and a full business & marketing plan for the client.
The show combines all the excitement of reality TV like “The Block” with the passion, heart and soul of shows like “Top Gear” which also happens to be based on cars. But it communicates with the local Australian audience in a way that Aussies will relate to, with the age-old rivalry between two iconic car brands, like – Ford vs Holden.
“The Engine Room” will combine some of TV’s highest rating audience attributes:
Sport Rivalry including defined teams and fanbase with history
Aspirational Reality TV
The show has been carefully considered to engage with our core audience with authenticity of iconic cars which, for this project, has an existing built-in audience of car enthusiasts.
However, we will be focusing on a broader strategy to target and extend our audience to a wider demographic that is more akin to fans of sporting events. And with the hi-jinx drama associated with reality TV.
Which team will you support?
We developed and created a proof of concept video long version but you can see the intro first minute here.
We also created a microsite for interested parties that offers a full overview of the TV brand plans that we developed for the client at ERTV.

Some 370 members of the RMT union on Virgin’s Cross Country line struck last weekend, the third time they have held a one-day strike in a dispute over Sunday working.
Payments for working on a Sunday used to be 17.5 percent higher than a weekday until a new agreement in 2002 reduced them to just 6 percent more.
Last Sunday’s strike saw ten RMT union members picket Birmingham New Street station, the biggest depot in the Cross Country network, with 122 workers. Only three people crossed the picket line.
Ken Usher, RMT regional official, told Socialist Worker that the strike was solid across Britain. He said his members were enjoying having Sundays off. As one worker put it “only monkeys work on Sundays for peanuts”.

Currently I am developing a JavaFX application for handling cooking recipes called Cookery. Part 1 will cover my development experiences using the JavaFX Composer in NB 6.9 RC1. Previously I had written Cookery entirely using the NB code editor and JavaFX 1.2. Unfortunately I had encountered some show stopper performance issues (with data binding) during testing, which meant I could not make any further progress with the application. This time around Cookery is undergoing a complete rewrite from scratch using JavaFX 1.3.
Since I had developed Cookery previously I had some rough screen designs on paper. Using the Composer I was able to design screens that were close to what I had on paper. Unfortunately the Composer does not yet support custom controls/classes/nodes, which meant containers had to be used during layout to hold the custom controls, thus no accurate visual feedback. On the plus side I was able to setup the layout for each screen quickly and easily.
The Composer organises control properties in a sensible way that is easily accessible. I like that fact that all commonly used properties for the selected control is presented in the top area of the Properties window. Not all properties are available in the Properties window, of particular mention is the read only properties which do not appear at all. Strangely enough there is still to way to visually manipulate the properties for the Stage (eg set the title), and properties are not sorted in ascending order for each category.
If you have ever used the previous version of the Composer you will no doubt have run into some major performance issues. Luckily with the current version it is much more responsive, and opens up design files much quicker. Also whenever a small change is made to a design file and you rerun the JavaFX project it is much quicker to build, this helped to boost productivity when the project was being built many times.
A major downside with using the Composer is the fact that it does not honour the user's formatting settings when it generates code. This slowed development down unnecessarily while I had to fix up the formatting. One major issue that is of major concern is the excessive amount of scanning that occurs whenever a change is made to a design file. This verges close to being a performance show stopper. Hopefully this issue is becoming priority number 1 with the Composer team, and will be fixed by the time the final version of NB 6.9 arrives. If necessary NB 6.9 should be delayed by about a week. It appears that the scanning issue is very common in other areas (eg JavaFX, PHP, Java).
On the positive side using the menu bar customiser proved to be a highly productive experience. Initially when I first used it I though it would not be as productive to use as Matisse's one (NB's Swing GUI builder). Who wants to manually type out the menu structure? However it proved to be the direct opposite, even saving me from manually renaming/positioning all menus/menu items. Also each menu can be customised individually without having to create the menu from scratch.
Another positive with using the Composer is that is generates very readable code that happens to be in a coding style that is very similar to my own. Any generated event handlers and binding functions/variables can be manually repositioned/changed on the fly. For handling data/state there is the Composer library which came in handy since I needed a general JavaFX database library for the application. There were two issues with the library which I was able to fix since all the source files are automatically created (for the first time only) in the project's src directory.
Listed below are the issues I encountered with the Composer and its library (most issues have workarounds):
Getting a value from a Record returns null
Ensure that the column name is correct and is in the correct case (eg in upper case).
Composer does not allow a custom control to be used visually in the Design Pane
Use a place holder Container (eg Group) in the control's place, and manually add the control to the Container.
Cannot directly resize Container's in the Design Pane
Cannot set any of the properties for the Stage (eg the title) in the Properties window
JDBC Data Source customiser does not handle a custom connection string
Change the connection property in the Properties window for the data source.
Sometimes the design file cannot be manually saved when a change is made
Close the design file and select the Save option when the dialog appears.
Excessive scrolling needs to be done with a design file in Design mode
Refactoring breaks when done in a design file (in Source mode)
Do manual refactoring without the assistance of the code editor's refactoring functions.
JavaFX Script code generated the Composer does not honour the user's formatting settings
Manually format the generated code.
DbDataSource returns a null RecordSet via getRecordSet function
Ensure all DbDataSource properties are correct. Also you may need to invoke the fetchData function before getting the RecordSet.
RecordSet returns null when using get(colName) function on a table column of type CLOB
Manually add code in the fetchData function (in DbDataSource) for retrieving CLOBs.
DbDataSource does not return the last insert ID used
Manually add code in DbDataSource to get the last insert id. Only a workaround if the chosen DB has a function that returns the last insert ID.
RecordSet does not have a specific function for retrieving a xxx type value from a column
Use the get function instead to retrieve the value and cast it to the specific type

It was a cold, wintery day when I met Eric & Sara and we started planning for their wedding photography. I was so excited to work with them and see their wedding plans come to life. Fast forward to a sunny Saturday, as their exciting plans came to life before all of their closest family and friends. Their wedding was full of so much joy! Each detail was a perfect reflection of Sarah & Eric’s relationship. From her elegant dress, to their sparkly photo-booth ; I seriously loved photographing all of their details and capturing each sweet moment that happened. (there were a few times that we found ourselves caught up in moments with tears in our eyes). It was a privilege to be apart of such a momentous occasion. Marriage is the best adventure and I am so happy for Eric & Sarah with their new journey together. Congrats!
Congratulations Eric and Sarah! May your marriage be filled with joy, peace and lots of pictures!

Richard Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, and inventor. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as “Spaceship Earth”, ephemeralization, and synergetic. He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres. Buckminster Fuller was the second president of Mensa from 1974 to 1983 – Wikipedia.

Re: how far will 1 oz of lemon grass oil go when used in trapping swarms?
A very long way. You only want to dip the very tip of a q-tip in the oil and place in a small ziplock bag with a tiny hole punched in the bag. Then place the bag in the swarm box. This will last you for around 30 days. I also place a tiny drop on the outside near the entrance to the swarm box to help them locate it. Check it every 10 days or so to see if you have bees. When you check it, re-apply a tiny drop to the outside again if there isn't any moved in.
Placement is key also. Place the box as high as you can reach in a lone tree located AWAY from a tree line, but close and close proximity to water. This of course is if you are trying to capture away from your bee yard. In your bee yard, place several around to capture your own bees. Good luck!
