 sentenced to six years in prison for the corruption plot related to the construction company Odebrecht.
The situation faced by the Vice President revealed legal gaps in the control of the funds that the militants give to the political organizations.
The Sifton Bog is considered an Environmentally Significant Area within the city of London, Ontario. It is jointly owned by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (30 hectares), the City of London (10 hectares), and private landowners (10 hectares) for a total of 50 hectares (124 acres).
What’s really interesting and significant about the Sifton Bog area is that it is a floating acid bog that bears the qualities of boreal plant life that one would normally only find in more northern climates but yet it’s surrounded by deciduous swamps and Carolinian forests that you would normally find in our more southern location. As I once read, at the bog you can experience changes in vegetation in a 10 minute walk that would normally require travelling hundreds of miles.
The bog was first discovered by naturalists in the 1870s and has had an interesting journey through history. In the 1900s, some tried to drain the bog so that they could grow celery there, there was a period of time in which they harvested the peat from the bog, and at one time, some of the Black Spruce trees were sold for Christmas trees.
During World War I, sphagnum moss was mined from the bog as an alternative to cotton gauze and donated to the war effort. During World War II, Alder Buckthorn was harvested from the bog and again donated to the war effort to produce gunpowder.
In 1957 a movement was initiated to preserve the bog as a significant natural area. In 1967 the bog’s name was changed from the Byron Bog to the Sifton Bog when the Sifton Construction Company donated their 30 hectares to the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority.
The bog was caused by the effects of glaciation. When a block of ice broke off of a glacier and then melted, it left behind a depression with no drainage. Redmond’s Pond is 0.2 hectares in size; what’s left of a 23 hectare body of water which has been filled in with peat over the last 10000 years. The pond is less than 5 feet deep but the peat layer in areas around the pond has been measured at 60 feet.
Since it’s cool and lacking in oxygen, dead plants sank to the bottom of the pond and didn’t decompose fully. So, they become compressed into peat and eventually, the peat forms into a mat that partially floats. Over the years it has become bigger, creeping in from the outer areas of the bog towards the centre of the pond.
Plant life in and around the bog include: Water Lilies, Leatherleaf, Small Cranberry, Black Huckleberry, Highbush Blueberry, Orchids, Southern Pond Lily, Duckweed, and carnivorous plants such as the Pitcher Plant and Sundew.
Around the bog, Black Spruce, Tamarack, Red and Silver Maple, Black Cherry, Sugar Maple, White Pine, and White Birch trees grow.
Animal life in and around the bog include: many kinds of birds such as warblers, sparrows, winter finches, Blue Jays, Great Horned owls and water fowl such as Canada Geese and a variety of ducks; raccoons, gray squirrels, Eastern chipmunk, 6 varieties of frogs including green, gray treefrogs, spring peepers, leopard, chorus, and wood frogs, painted and snapping turtles, some very uncommon butterflies like the Bog Copper and the Bog Elfin, dragonflies, damselflies, mice, voles, rabbits, a large population of white-tailed deer, and even some coyotes on occasion. A few years ago, a bear was found in the neighbourhood around the bog – the first known bear sighting here in London.
Beautiful! I wish I could travel there. Keep up the good work!
are there alot of mosquitos there? seems like there would be….good pics!
Thanks. Not really at this time of year but in a few weeks there likely will be. Black flies too probably!Q: Accessing data from session-scoped beans in JSP files I'm trying to get started with session-scoped beans in Spring Web MVC 3. I put this line in my dispatcher configuration:
<bean id="userInfo" class="net.sandbox.sessionbeans.UserInfo" scope="session" />

Here is net.sandbox.sessionbeans.UserInfo:
package net.sandbox.sessionbeans;

public class UserInfo {
    public String username;

    public UserInfo() {
        this.username = "Unregistered User";
    }
}

How can I access session-scoped beans inside the JSP files that represent the View part of my application? I tried this...
<p align="right">${userInfo.username}</p>

... but that didn't give me the expected result, i.e.
<p align="right">Unregistered User</p>

Instead I just get
<p align="right"></p>

What am I doing wrong?

A: You can expose individual beans to JSTL with Spring.
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
    <property name="exposedContextBeanNames">
        <list>
            <value>someBean</value>
            <value>someOtherBean</value>

        </list>
    </property>
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>


A: You can do it as you show in your question. The problem is probably in your configuration. Look if you expose your beans in the view, like this:
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view/" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    <property name="exposeContextBeansAsAttributes" value="true" />
</bean>


A: This answer is partially based on some advice that was posted in the question's comments but was later deleted by the poster. I added this to every JSP page that needs to use the bean:
<jsp:useBean id="userInfo" scope="session" class="net.sandbox.sessionbeans.UserInfo" />

I then found this article detailing how you can use beans in a JSP page.

A: You need to make sure that you have 
<aop:scoped-proxy/>

enabled in your xml configuration. 
For Example:
<!-- an HTTP Session-scoped bean exposed as a proxy -->
  <bean id="userPreferences" class="com.foo.UserPreferences" scope="session">

        <!-- this next element effects the proxying of the surrounding bean -->
        <aop:scoped-proxy/>
  </bean>

You can read more about it in Spring reference guide, "Bean scopes" chapter.

A: Elaborating on @sinuhepop suggestion below.
An easy way to do this is to configure spring so that it exposes the spring bean ids as varibales to JSTL this can be done by setting the exposeContextBeansAsAttributes property to true 
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
    <property name="exposeContextBeansAsAttributes" value="true"/>
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>

If you have a bean configured like so
@Component
@Scope(proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS,value=WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_SESSION)
public class SomeBean {
}

Then in the JSP page you can access the bean using the name ${someBean.someProp} because that is the name that Spring will auto assign to the SomeBean unless the bean is defined with a name such as @Component("someName") then the JSTL would be ${someName.someProp}

A: An update to this answer for those, who want to use Spring 5 Java configuration. Addding this to your WebMvcConfigurer
@Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry){
    InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver("/WEB-INF/view", ".jsp");
    resolver.setExposeContextBeansAsAttributes(true);
    registry.viewResolver(resolver);
}

is equivalent to this XML config mentioned by others:
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view/" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".
