The Biggest Facebook Shake Up In Years
Change is in the air at Facebook Inc.
The social networking giant has started undergoing huge corporate changes. Yesterday, Facebook announced it was restructuring company executive roles and dividing itself into three internal "teams".
According to Business Insider " . . . Facebook is going through a massive executive shakeup, reorganizing and assigning new leaders to practically all of its major product teams. Under the new structure, Facebook will be divided into three teams: family of apps, central product services, and new platforms and infrastructure . . ."
The social network will now have a division complete dedicated to developing blockchain technology, headed up by former Facebook Messenger executive David Marcus.
Facebook itself, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram all fall into the "family of apps" category. "Central product services" is comprised of "core functionality that drives the company" (i.e. ad's, analytics, integrity, growth, etc.) And "new platforms and infrasturcture" will include blockchain technology development, along with AR and AI technologies.
Mark Zuckerberg will remain CEO of the company
Will Facebook's Executive Shake Up Affect Users?
The short answer is probably no.
Users most likely won't see any immediate changes to the platform, despite the internal restructuring. What we will see is Facebook prioritizing technologies like blockchain, AR and AI.
Either way, Facebook is the company to watch.

Hi sir.
I want to notarized a document and send out of country. My y. My question to you is can you notarize any document?
Thank you la..
Dear Sir/Madam
it depends on which documents to notarise. As of today the Public Notary in Thimphu notarises. However if you are outside Thimphu then the respective courts would notarise the documents. Kindly note that the court timing for registration is from 830 am to 930 am everyday except holidays and weekends

Happy 1st Day of Pre-Season
Saturday, August 28, 2010
Happy NINE Months Minnie!!!
The past month has been your busiest one yet. Your Daddy and I tried to think of all the things you have learned and achieved as of late and I hope we did not miss anything.
- You have mastered your walker
- You've graduated to a "big girl" carseat ~ no more baby bucket for you
- You are an expert at crawling and are a big fan of trying to chase us down
- You LOVE the trash can and it is a battle to keep you away from it (nasty)
- We are fairly certain that you have learned how to say "Da-Da" and use it appropriately :) My favorite is trying to get you to say "Ma-Ma" and have you respond with "Da-Da" and then look at him instead of me :) hee hee hee
- You were dedicated to the Lord at church this past month
- We (Daddy) had to lower your crib to the bottom setting because you kept pulling yourself up and chewing on the side rail (yick!)
- You are chewing because you have popped through 4 more teeth bringing you up to a total of SIX!!! Four on the top and 2 on the bottom...this has not gone well for your hiney Yikes!
- You are wearing mostly 9-12 month shirts and some 18 month sweatshirts
- You can fit into 3-6 month leggings in the waist no problem but they look like crop pants
- 12 month pants for length but they are WAY too big around the waist
- You have learned how to clap and you are THRILLED when we say YAAAAHHHHH for you
- You are getting really good at finger foods in your high chair and you love to be able to feed yourself Miss Independent
- I'm definately seeing that you know who I am and when you want to come to me there's no stopping whomever is holding you
A typical day for you starts around 6AM, for a few weeks there you were getting closer to 7 but now you are back towards the 5:50 time slot... Mama is NOT a fan...you get up and play, have a few Cheerios and around 7 you are ready for breakfast. You eat just about any fruit except bananas. I keep trying them with you but you pretend to gag everytime. You have a bottle and then you are down and going... sometimes you jump in your excesaucer, sometimes you race around in your walker or just crawl around playing with your toys and trying to get into things you shouldn't. Sometime between 7:45-8:30 you let us know you are ready for a nap and in the past month that nap was lasting about 2.5 hours... now we are back to 30-60 minutes. Again. Mama, not such a big fan. You are ready for another nap between 11:30-1 after a lunch of a couple of veggies and another bottle. Sometimes you take another catnap later in the afternoon if we are out and about sometimes you like to stay awake for the entire afternoon. By 4PM it isn't going well for anyone :) A late afternoon snooze is good for you. You have dinner around 5-5:30 and that is more cereal, a couple more veggies/meats and another bottle that you like to linger with for about an hour. You are in bed for the night between 6:30-7 and we do it all again the next day :)
STATS: 18 LBS 47% ~ 29 1/4" 94% ~ Head Cir. 44cm 50%
Minnie, this month's birthday report brings the summer to a close for us. Daddy started back to work three days ago and you can't figure out why Mama is sad. We had the BEST summer ever hanging out as a family together, bonding, playing, swimming, gardening, shopping, camping, spending time with friendsand family and I honestly cannot think of another summer in MY entire life that was better than this one. You are so happy, smiley and fun to be around. The more I spend time with you the more I am "addicted" to you :) While I get myself together and shift back into a routine with you this fall I'm excited about our playdates with our friends, Bible Study, trips to the library and spending time at the park while the weather holds out. It makes my heart happy that these are all things that I love to do and you do too.
We love you SO much Minnie and we are SO proud of all your accomplishments this month. You were definately keeping Mommy and Daddy on our toes with all your tricks. Good Girl.

It's SIMPLE really

Wednesday... I mean THURSDAY in the WORD
Do you bring up shortcomings/faults to others?? Inappropriately contradict him? Unfavorably compare him with other men?
The verses Pastor used with this point are Proverbs 31:23 "Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land." and Proverbs 31:12 "She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."
TYPICALLY and I say TYPICALLY this is not a hard one for me. I think Husband is the BEST guy around. Really. His fantastic reputation does precede him and early on in our marriage that was somewhat of a stumbling block for me. I had him up on a REALLY REALLY high pedestal and that was a little unfair.
He IS a great guy, everyone DOES love him, he has a GREAT name in our community, in his profession and with his friends. It doesn't make him perfect but he has set a really high standard. :) He is unwavering in his morals and values and knows exactly what is right and wrong. It is up to me to do everything in my power not to taint that. To speak only GOOD of him, about him, whether in front of him or behind his back. That is not TYPICALLY hard for me. Do I fall sometimes and complain perhaps once in a while to a friend. Of course. Not right though ladies... not right.
Verse 12 is pretty specific "she brings him good, not harm" um... yeah. All.The.Time. :)
What sort of things do you have to tell your Husband, fiance or the man you are praying for in your future today? CountryMum says it is OUR job to build our Husband's up. They are NOT going to get it in the workplace they are not going to get it from their buds.
If you are not complimenting your Husband... who is? And if someone else IS... uh oh. It's your job dear ones, to respect this man, build him up, compliment him and love on him. Don't let it fall into someone else's hands. Think about his strengths, tell him and then tell your girlfriends.

NINE years...
I look forward to the smooth roads ahead holding hands and living life and I pray for the days that will be challenging and know that we can make it through the Lord and only together as a team.
I love you baby and I hope you know how much. Happy Anniversary.

Today we return to our Wednesdays in 2013 series on URC Psalmody, finding ourselves at the sixth Lord's Day in the Heidelberg Catechism.
Lord's Day 6 marks the turning point of the Catechism, the crucial hinge on which the entirety of our salvation swings. It speaks of the one most important message of the Bible—a message sometimes summarized in two words: "But God."
16 Q. Why must he be truly human and truly righteous?
A. God's justice demands it:
man has sinned,
man must pay for his sin,
but a sinner can not pay for others.
17 Q. Why must he also be true God?
A. So that,
by the power of his divinity,
he might bear the weight of God's anger in his humanity
and earn for us
and restore to us
righteousness and life.
18 Q. And who is this mediator–true God and at the same time truly human and truly righteous?
A. Our Lord Jesus Christ,
who was given us
to set us completely free
and to make us right with God.
19 Q. How do you come to know this?
A. The holy gospel tells me.
God himself began to reveal the gospel already in Paradise;
later, he proclaimed it
by the holy patriarchs and prophets,
and portrayed it
by the sacrifices and other ceremonies of the law;
finally, he fulfilled it
through his own dear Son.
Suggested Songs
Choosing songs for this section of the Catechism is incredibly difficult, not because there are so few, but because there are so many. In a way, the entirety of the Scriptures (and hence the entire book of Psalms) centers on our salvation. Add to this inspired collection a myriad of salvation-oriented hymns, and the number of possible selections becomes staggering. Thus, I've chosen six psalm settings that roughly follow the thought progression given in this Lord's Day.
67, "Lord, in Thy Wrath Rebuke Me Not" (Psalm 38)
"God's justice demands it: man has sinned, man must pay for his sin.…[but our deliverer must] also be true God." The desolate words of Psalm 38 speak eloquently of man's inability to heal himself.
Thine anger wears my flesh away,
And in my bones I feel my sin.
Yea, mine iniquities today
Deprive my soul of strength within.
Such are my wounds, they will not heal,
Corrupted by my foolishness;
Bowed down upon the earth I feel
The pangs of my complete distress.
In every limb lurks foul disease,
Loathsome my flesh in every part;
And I do groan because of these
Disquietnesses in my heart.
At the same time, the psalmist realizes that his salvation can come from God alone—not from himself.
Forsake me not, O Lord, my God,
Be not, O Lord, far off from me,
O haste to my deliverance,
And let me Thy salvation see.
146, "O God, Most Holy Are Thy Ways" (Psalm 77)
"God himself began to reveal the gospel already in Paradise; later, he proclaimed it by the holy patriarchs and prophets…" In the midst of deep affliction and distress, the author of Psalm 77 pauses to recount God's wondrous works in the past. These are a source of comfort to him, for he knows that God will save him now just as he saved his people in the past.
Thy way was in the sea, O God,
Through mighty waters, deep and broad;
None understood but God alone,
To man Thy footsteps were unknown;
But safe Thy people Thou didst keep,
Almighty Shepherd of Thy sheep.
171, "In Vision to His Saints God Spake" (Psalm 89)
Psalm 89 continues in the same vein of thought. Reflecting on his own life and the history of his nation, the psalmist cries out:
Think on my life; O Lord, take thought;
Hast Thou created man for nought?
What man that lives has power to save
His soul from death, and from the grave?
Where are Thy mercies which of old
Were in Thy promises foretold?
Remember, Lord, the bitter shame
Heaped on Thine own anointed's name.
What comes next in the psalm is rather surprising: an exuberant doxology. The Psalter Hymnal elaborates on this conclusion as follows:
I sing of mercies that endure
Forever builded firm and sure,
Of faithfulness that never dies,
Established changeless in the skies.
Blest be the Lord forevermore,
Whose promise stands from days of yore.
His word is faithful now as then;
Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.
135, "Christ Shall Have Dominion" (Psalm 72)
(Sung by Cornerstone URC in Hudsonville, MI)
"Our Lord Jesus Christ…was given us to set us completely free and to make us right with God." All of God's promises to his people over the centuries are fulfilled in one person, the perfect God-man: Jesus Christ. Psalm 72 speaks of the glorious reign of our Anointed Savior:
When the needy seek Him, He will mercy show;
Yea, the weak and helpless shall His pity know.
He will surely save them from oppression's might,
For their lives are precious in His holy sight.
Christ shall have dominion over land and sea;
Earth's remotest regions shall His empire be.
191, "Sing, Sing a New Song to Jehovah" (Psalm 98)
(Sung by Trinity URC in St. Catharines, Ontario)
"Finally, he fulfilled it through his own dear Son." Our joyful response to God's work of salvation ought to be expressed through words like those of Psalm 98. This exultant psalm exhorts us to—
Sing, sing a new song to Jehovah
For all the wonders He has wrought;
His right hand and His arm most holy
The victory to Him have brought.
The Lord has published His salvation,
His righteousness He has made known;
He showed to every heathen nation
That judgment issues from His throne.
300, "The Lord Upholds the Faltering Feet" (Psalm 145)
I'm always surprised that "The Lord Upholds the Faltering Feet" isn't sung more often. This excerpt from Psalm 145 is one of the most glorious songs of praise in the entire Psalter Hymnal, with the perfectly bouncy, lilting tune to accompany it. I'll close with the entirety of this versification:
The Lord upholds the faltering feet
And makes the weak securely stand;
The burdened ones, bowed down with grief,
Are helped by His most gracious hand.
The eyes of all upon Thee wait,
By The their wants are all supplied;
Thine open hand is bountiful,
And every soul is satisfied.
The Lord is just in all His ways,
In all His works the Lord is kind,
And all that call on Him in truth
In Him a present Helper find.
He will fulfil the heart's desire
Of those that fear Him and obey;
Their cry the Lord will surely hear,
And He will save them when they pray.
His great salvation they shall know
Who love the Lord's most holy Name;
The wicked He will overthrow
And put His enemies to shame.
My mouth shall speak the glorious praise
Of Him whom heaven and earth adore;
Let all exalt His holy Name
Forever and forevermore.

I understand there is a well established IPMS Latvia, which links to a couple of hobby shops but I cannot find much on Estonia. Perhaps someone has been on a weekend trip to Tallinn (or even lives there) and can confirm if there are any hobby shops worth noting for future reference.

Dr. Jaime Awe, Real-Life Indiana Jones, Sues LucasFilm, Disney Over Crystal Skull
A real-life Indiana Jones has filed a lawsuit against the Walt Disney Co., Lucasfilm, and Paramount Pictures for using the crystal skull in the film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." The archaeologist says the film used a replica of the skull in the film and collected "illegal profits."
Dr. Jaime Awe, a real-life Indiana Jones and director of the Institute of Archeology of Belize, is suing on behalf of the country of Belize, according to THR. Awe is demanding the return of the crystal skull, which he says was stolen by the treasure-hunting family Mitchell-Hedges 88 years ago and used as a money-maker, as well as damages from "illegal profits" accrued by Disney, Lucasfilm, and Paramount for allegedly using a replica "likeness" in the 2008 Steven Spielberg film.
Visit The Hollywood Reporter to read the full lawsuit.
"Lucasfilm never sought, nor was given permission to utilize the Mitchell-Hedges Skull or its likeness in the Film," reads the "Indiana Jones" lawsuit, obtained by THR. "To date, Belize has not participated in any of the profits derived from the sale of the Film or the rights thereto." Awe claims Belize has a "right, title and interest in and to the Mitchell-Hedges Skull and its likeness" and the film companies participated in a civil conspiracy and interfered with the country's economic advantage.

Tam Som: Green Papaya Salad Recipe
Last week when I bought a green papaya from Hollygrove Market and Farm, I sort of had a hunch of what I was going to do with it. On the box that contained these large, interesting fruits was a sign that said they could be used in a traditional green papaya salad recipe. I had little idea what that entailed, but it sounded interesting so I bought one to test it. Since I'm trying to take a more cultural-based approach to my work lately, I figured a traditional dish would be a great way to go with this green papaya. To top it all off, papaya has numerous health benefits (check out this article enumerating many of them) so that's a win, too!
When I got home, I began researching this green papaya salad. I found that it has several different names depending on which country you're in. I've decided to go with "Tam Som," the Laotian term for this spicy/savory/sweet salad. Something else I found that varied greatly was the exact ingredients in the dish. When I looked it up on Wikipedia, I came across a list of 13 potential ingredients. I did more research, this time on recipe blogs/websites, and found that there were a few ingredients that popped up pretty regularly: green papaya (of course!), tomato, longbeans (or green beans), dried shrimp, peanuts, and a dressing based on lime, fish sauce, garlic and Thai chilis.
I actually consulted four different recipes plus the Wikipedia entry before creating my own version of this dish – the five sites are listed below underneath the recipe form at the end of this post. I created a testing version of the recipe and started testing. I quickly realized that my dressing ratio was much too small for the amount of papaya I had – I'd procured a three pound papaya that yielded a staggering 10 cups of julienned papaya. So as I was working on this, I was adjusting on the fly. Sometimes that just what you have to do in the recipe creating world. I'm always careful to continue to measure things as I go so rest assured, the proportions below are correct.
I also took a couple of short cuts in the recipe. I took a cue from some of the recipes and made the dressing in the food processor instead of pounding the ingredients by hand, as is traditionally done. The phrase "tam som" literally translates into "pounded sour" in Laotian (thanks, Wikipedia for that). Pounding of the ingredients is supposed to be essential to this dish. But since it's my own version, I did it differently. I combined the ingredients into the food processor and used that to produce a pretty awesome tasting dressing. The fish sauce, garlic, lime and chili worked very well together. I can see myself using that as a basis for lots of dishes in the future.
Now let's talk about the proverbial elephant in the room – the tomato and longbeans. Clearly tomatoes aren't really in season right now. Technically, neither are longbeans. BUT I was able to get the tomato I used here at Hollygrove like two weeks ago (it kept really well in the fridge) so I feel good using the tomato here because it was grown locally, and I did get it at the farmer's market. I would not have used a grocery store tomato here. I try really hard to stick to my seasonal cooking standard. I gave myself a pass on the longbeans because they are technically in season year-round if they're grown in California or Mexico. Considering I got the ones below were fresh, tasty and in good condition, I am going to *assume* they came from one of those two places. I actually bought these at the Hong Kong Market on the West Bank so who the heck knows where they *really* came from. I'm going with my original assumption, though.
I'll also take a moment here to talk about dried shrimp. I'm from South Louisiana and dried shrimp is definitely a cultural item here. The Chinese actually brought their knowledge of drying shrimp to South Louisiana back in the late 1800's. Both Chinese and Filipino immigrants helped to grow this industry in Louisiana. Today dried shrimp is mostly eaten as a snack around these parts but is also said to be used to flavor gumbos. I've not seen that done myself, but I'm sure somebody somewhere does that. The dried shrimp you see below came from Vieux Carre Seafood and Meats, located in the French Quarter. They're a modest retail/wholesale business that serves both businesses and the public at large. I'm pretty stoked to have found them thanks to my good friend James.
The final thing to note here is that this salad can vary in how long it will keep fresh. If your papaya is nice and firm when you start, you can keep this 2-3 days. I read several recipes that said it needed to be eaten immediately, but I didn't find that to be the case. I ate the last of mine just about 48 hours after it had been made, and it was still very good. The papaya was crunchy and the other ingredients still held their original integrity. I'm pretty sure it would have been good on the third day even, but I didn't note that below because I only personally tested two days so I am sticking to that as a recommendation.
What about you? Have you ever tried Tam Som or any other kind of Asian green papaya salad? Thoughts? Let me know in the comments below. I'm interested in your experience with the dish.
Tam Som: Green Papaya Salad Recipe
Tam Som is the Laotian name for a green papaya salad recipe, which features green papaya, tomato, longbeans, dried shrimp and a tangy, sweet, spicy dressing.
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (like olive, grape seed or safflower)
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon chopped Thai chili, seeds and stem removed
- Juice of 3 limes (about 1/2 cup)
- 3 pounds green papaya, peeled, deseeded and julienned (about 10 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped tomato (substitute halved cherry or grape tomatoes, if preferred)
- 1 cup 1"-pieces of longbeans, ends trimmed beforehand
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons dried shrimp, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons crushed salted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
- Combine ingredients in the "Dressing" section in a food processor, and whirl until mixed well and the garlic and chili are pulverized. Set aside for now.
- Add all the ingredients from the "Salad" section to a large mixing bowl. Add dressing and mix thoroughly.
- Eat right away or refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to marry. Keeps well in the fridge for up to two days in an air tight container.
Recipe based on what I found here:
- Wikipedia entry for Green Papaya Salad
- Bon Appetit's recipe for Thai Green Papaya Salad
- Thai Table's recipe for Green Papaya Salad
- No Recipes' recipe for Green Papaya Salad

Update 15th September 2018
Trek 1175: I had the pleasure of meeting all these trekkers a few weeks back at one of the last preparation meetings and again this morning to see them off on their departure to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
Trek 1175: This afternoon our latest group of trekkers arrived in Port Moresby where they were met by Pat Vainerere who will act as their guide on this trek. Trekkers are made up as follows:
Brendan, Julie Ann and Angus Preston; Mitchell Lowe; Harrison Klee; Nicholas and Rolf Just; Rodger and Jamie Edols; Michael Davis and Nigel Raddie.
Update 16th September 2018
Trek 1175: The trek got away early this morning with a short drive to the airport to catch a flight over to Popondetta. Trekkers were then transported down to Kokoda via 4X4 vehicles.
Trek 1175: This group arrived in Kokoda and were guests at Clement Harika's family guesthouse area where they had morning tea before moving up to the Kokoda Station. As I type, they are in preparation to move off from the Kokoda Station. Pat Vainerere seen here addressing his crew for this trek which include: Clement Harika; Ivan Semie; Ramsy Idau; Trevor Jinga; Harry Mendari; Lenny Enjeka; Gerald Juary and Tommy Bareo.
Trek 1175: St Edmunds College: Have not yet heard from Pat but Christopher informed me that around 10 minutes after they arrived at Deniki, one young man reached the campsite. He was followed a few minutes later by two of the older men walking with this group.
Trek 1175: Evening Post: Pat said he had trouble getting a line out so sent this text message to me: Everyone went well today.
Been a big day and our flight from Port Moresby to Popondetta was good. On the way up to Kokoda one of the 4WDrives had a flat tyre which caused a bit of a delay. Once on the track we all had lunch with some local fruits, and the boys loved it.
We started again at 1300 and stopped at Hoi. Some struggled, but all good. He added, good pizzas from Maryanne today. Tomorrow the plan is to head to Alola for the night. Think of them tomorrow as they head up through the wild choko fields and walk through Isurava Village, before ending up at the Isurava Memorial site. Following a service there, they will continue on to Alola.
Update 17th September 2018
Trek 1175: Pat called to say they are all now at Alola Village. The lead group arrived earlier than a set of parents at the back who walked into Alola around 4:30pm this afternoon. It rained today so they have already experienced wet conditions. Pat is very happy with the group as they make their way across the track.
Update 18th September 2018
Trek 1175: This trek is also going well with everyone at the campsite area by 3:30pm this afternoon. Pat said he is very proud of the boys carrying their own backpacks as they appear happy and content – apparently still smiling with no complaints. Today saw them experience quite a lot of rain but everyone still did ok. Keep up the good work you are all doing just great. Tomorrow the plan is to head to Naduri for the night.
Update 19th September 2018
Trek 1175: The Trek is now in Naduri and once again everyone has done well today. It rained all afternoon so they walked in the wet yet again. Tomorrow the plan is to walk through Efogi the half way point and continue up to Brigade Hill and on to Manari for the night. Pat on the phone this afternoon seemed very happy with his trekkers and porters. Please do keep in mind that photographs used are from our stock images. Photographs for this trek will be up loaded once we have the memory cards are back at our base in Port Moresby.
Update 20th September 2018
Trek 1175: This group are now at Manari Village and at the time I was talking to Pat, the teenagers were interacting with other boys from another trekking company and playing soccer. They will all be together again tomorrow night as well at Nauro Village. Jamie was not feeling too well last night but seems he woke up hungry and did well today so all good. This morning they had a very slippery downhill and are all complaining about sore muscles but can't be too bad if they are out playing soccer. Nauro Village tomorrow so they are now on the home straight.
Update 21st September 2018
Trek 1175: Pat said they needed it as all were still feeling the efforts of yesterday! At the time he phoned he informed me the weather was good and that they were all sitting around relaxing. I joked about the creek at Nauro because when I walked the track my friend and I went down to wash in their creek but later it started to rain and without getting ourselves covered in mud again, we had to stay there until our porters came down to rescue us. Still remember that slippery climb back up to the top with village women no doubt laughing at us. Tomorrow they head to Ioribaiwa.
Update 22nd September 2018
Trek 1175: The trek has now arrived at Ioribaiwa. Pat said this afternoon that his group are also doing well reaching their destination around 2:30pm this afternoon. As I was talking to him he said the young boys were having fun in the local village of Ioribaiwa with a few of them complaining about aches and pains but all are ok. Tomorrow the plan is to camp close to Owers' Cnr. so they can go up to the top early on the morning of the 24th. Keep going trek 1175, you are almost to the finish line.
Update 23rd September 2018
Trek 1175: The Trek has now arrived at Goldie River and perfectly positioned to walk off the track tomorrow morning around 7:30am. Everyone once again today did well and are all looking forward to finishing their successful trek tomorrow when they will then make their way up to Owers' Corner archway and then back down off the mountain to Port Moresby.
Update 24th September 2018
Trek 1175: Congratulations are in order as trekkers are off the track and at the present time are at Bomana War Cemetery. They will then make their way back to the hotel to prepare themselves to fly home this afternoon. Well done to all the St Edmunds College parents/teachers/students. Thank you for choosing Kokoda Trekking.
Thanks also to Pat, Christopher and our team of porters for taking such good care of you all. Think of how they would have felt walking up the last steep climb to walk under the archway earlier this morning.

Hello, everyone!
It can be easy to fall into a routine over time. Before you know it, you're going to the same places, eating the same meals, and embarking on the same old pastimes. If this sounds like you, you might simply need to shake up your days to enjoy a happier, healthier life. To add a little more excitement into your days to prevent them blurring into one, find out how to improve your lifestyle.
Change or Tweak Your Goals
To transform your lifestyle, you might simply need to set realistic goals or tweak your current ones. For example, sit down and identify where you want to go in your life and then the small steps you'll need to take to get there. While it might take time, you could map out a path to success, which will give you something to work towards and could increase your future happiness.
Make Better Use of Your Time
Are you constantly spending your spare time sitting in front of the TV? If your answer is yes, you might need to make better use of your time. For example, stop staring into the small screen and buy cheap London theatre tickets to watch a superb live play or musical with your loved ones. You could also organize drinks with friends, dinner with your partner, or go to the gym after a day of hard work. It will prevent your days from blending into one.
Hit Ten Thousand Steps Per Day
Do you not have time to exercise every day? Everyone has time to walk. Transform your lifestyle by aiming to hit at least 10,000 steps per day. It will give you a reason to step away from the sofa and enjoy some fresh air. What's more, the daily steps can help you to lose weight while decreasing your risk of developing heart disease. Plus, you'll feel a great sense of achievement each time you hit the 10k mark.
Improve Your Time Management Skills
Do you feel as if you never have enough hours in the day to perform essential tasks on your to-do list? You might simply need to manage your time a little better. For example, rather than focusing on tasks that will offer little long-term benefit, focus on completing jobs that will help you to reach your goals at a much faster rate. To do so, create lists and number tasks by priority and urgency, which can also prevent procrastination, such as watching TV or browsing social media.
Build a Savings Fund
Savings cannot only prevent stress and sleepless nights, but they can open the door to endless opportunities throughout your life. If you want to maintain good mental health and improve your financial future, you'd be wise to build up your savings fund. If possible, save at least 20% of your income each month, which could help you to buy a new home, car, or an emergency fund. You could even set up that the money will be automatically deducted from your bank account and deposited into your savings each time you get paid.
What are your tips on improving your lifestyle? Let us know in the comment section below.
As always, thank you for visiting and have a great day!

New planning controls announced for Shrine of Remembrance
- Written by Urbanalyst
ON THE eve of Anzac Day, Planning Minister Justin Madden announced new height and setback controls for St Kilda Road to protect the Shrine of Remembrance.
Mr Madden said land opposite the Shrine at 312 – 332 St Kilda Road would now be the subject of a mandatory 60-metre height control and a 20-metre setback control. The Melbourne Planning Scheme has been updated to reflect the amendment, C155 (see Design and Development Overlay Schedule 58 to Clause 43.02 and Clause 66.06).
"The Shrine of Remembrance is a sacred site, acknowledging the sacrifice of many to preserve Victorian life and liberty. Its design and setting provide opportunities for reflection, solemn group ceremonies, and to educate the community about the events that it commemorates," Mr Madden said. He added that the "Government recognises this and is taking action to ensure any development respects the significance of the Shrine and the appearance of St Kilda Road as a major boulevard."
The new height controls follow the adoption of a revised Statement of Significance endorsed by the Heritage Council acknowledging the impact of external development on the cultural significance of the Shrine.

Coming soon: Sean Penn & PETA….
That's right – it's all been a bit dire and heavy here lately, what with Johnny Howard's master plan grinding into effect and huge chunks of biodiversity literally due to be flushed down the toilet. BLAAAAARGH!!!!!!
So just letting you know – if you're interested, of course – to check back in here in the next day or so.
You'll find a review of the brand spanking new film Into The Wild. Personally, I don't much care for hype like "oooh, Oscars" – BUT, as a way to easily convey meaning, this is an Oscar+ movie. Really mindblowing film of rich depth, insight atypical of American cinema, and a durability likely to ensure its status as a future classic. Do come back and read more Friday.
Also coming up – an interview with Dan Mathews, Vice President of PETA and author of the freshly released (and compulsively readable) Committed: a rabble-rouser's memoir. For animal-lovers, activists, queens, readers, writers, popstars, supporters & all people easily pissed by perspectives that don't fit their world view there'll be plenty of juicy goodness in the 40-minute transcript when it goes online by early next week.

Brand Spanking New Week
Not sure if I showed my finished and washed bow tie quilt. I had a quilt photo shoot on my neighbor's driveway over the weekend. Our driveway was filled with cars and muddy sprinkler system repairs. I keep seeing fun places to shoot quilt pictures, but I'm stumped as to how to hang them. Or if I'd get arrested.
Herb Cheese Rolls. I used cheddar and asiago cheeses and fresh rosemary, oregano, and basil. You just roll them up like cinnamon rolls and slice.
Still playing with selvages. I'll show ya tomorrow. Linking up with Made by you Monday.

No coins started yet
I received this coin on 7/11/2019 from my friend Sheila Seiler who is my friend and is the Executive Director of Susan G. Komen Evansville Tri-State. After being a volunteer with Komen Evansville for over a decade, Sheila brought me on board as the Mission Coordinator at the affiliate to help get the Komen Cares Direct Services program launched in Evansville. I've met so many warriors in my position which has gone from Mission Coordinator to currently Community Services Manager. My focus is on our community, its warriors, and how we can fight harder to end breast cancer forever. The fight means raising awareness and money!
On 8/31, I'm passing the coin to my best friend and 10+ year breast cancer survivor Marsha Durham. Marsha has not only participated in Race for the Cures in multiple cities, has done the 3-day walk twice, and is preparing for the next 2day in Atlanta, but she uses social media to remind women to get their annual mammograms. The world needs more Marsha's!

These scum need to keep looking over their shoulders VERY VERY carefully. It is known where they work and who they are and extreme retribution will be carried out on these cowardly pieces of dog shit.

Hide Forgot
This is a Lenovo Thinkpad x60s laptop running Rawhide.
When I try to play the test sound in gnome, I get the error dialog:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 !
audioconvert ! audioresample !
gconfaudiosink: no element "gconfaudiosink"
There is no sound from any programs, although I can get something
if I pipe stuff into /dev/audio or /dev/dsp.
I have every gstreamer-* RPM installed.
The soundcard is:
cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-01: AD198x Digital : AD198x Digital : playback 1
00-00: AD198x Analog : AD198x Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
but I'm pretty sure this is NOT a hardware problem (as I say,
I can pipe stuff into /dev/audio just fine).
Sound really should be easier ...
[I always forget to search closed Bugzillas, since the default
is only to search open ones ... Anyway, after searching closed
ones ...]
I found that killing pulseaudio and restarting it (as my user,
not root), means that the test sounds work.
I haven't yet found out how to get sounds working in flash player
or totem yet, so that's what I'm trying now.
OK, totem is now working (after also restarting it).
Note I'm still having to kill and restart pulseaudio, so this is
definitely a bug.
Are you still seeing these problems ?
PA works fine for me, no killing necessary...
I am closing this bug now since the problems are gone.
Should this problem still be reproducible, please set "log-level=debug", log out and in again, and reopen this bug and attach pa's syslog output.
log-level=debug is to be set in /etc/pulse/default.pa, btw.

@nallath also on the UM3 ? How can I force Cura to do it ?
cjs started following Lines in first layer, Use custom Materials on Ultimaker S5, Tough PLA firmware support for Ultimaker 3 and and 3 others
Any updates regarding new material profiles on the printer? My UM3 is running firmware version 5.2. I don't see the point in material profiles in Cura if I can't send them to my printer (need to always manually override). Thanks
Ultimaker S5 strange phenomenon
cjs replied to chuckmcgee's topic in Ultimaker 3D printersIn my opinion the errors/strange phenomenon is related to pressure changes in the nozzle. Some people use this effect quite artistically to paint pictures on objects. In the community it's known as velocity painting. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdKaKKeyz7g&t=435s <- recent video explaining it. Different filament do show this effect more some less. Ultimaker uses quite a lot of different speed changes and velocity to reduce effects like ringing. I think on the S5 even more than on the UM3 as it is bigger. I would cross out the 2nd extruder as the cause of this problem. Instead I would open all speed settings of Ultimaker Cura (Walls,infill, skin, top layers) and set them to about the same speed. If this doesn't help I would turn of all the different acceleration and observe the result. You might want to create a small model which prints in about a few hours to test all the changes. I also read that some people do put a dummy model like a box beside the print to reduce the effect.
Does anyone know a UM reseller who sells the S5 feeder or parts individually? The UM reseller I talked to said that they can't sell the S5 feeder or parts individually. Maybe @fbrc8-erin knows more about this?
Count me in, too ?
Tough PLA firmware support for Ultimaker 3
cjs replied to KickahaOta's topic in FirmwareDon't want to hijack this topic, but does the new fimware also contain something else besides though PLA ?
Introducing Ultimaker Cura 3.4 | Beta
cjs replied to SandervG's topic in Ultimaker CuraYes this would be great! I mean the settings are already saved why not the 3d models also ?
Bug: Prime blob way too big after aborted print (UM3E)Great! Thanks for keeping us posted/updated @Daid ?
It doesn't prevent me from reading the full message, but it causes alot of scrolling which can get annoying for 2+ replies in the thread. If you look at the mails it's most of the time 5% reply and 95% other information. ( maybe a bit exaggerated ? but you get what I mean) I personally would prefer it if you would remove them again. I understand you intention, but those mails are IMHO for replies to threads which I choose to follow. The high value content could be send via weekly/monthly newsletter, which everyone can decide on recieving. You could translate the optimization you did for smartphones to bigger displays. On my iPhoneSE the blocks are way smaller and all belowh each other. Still I would prefer them to be removed for thread reply mails.
Yes they are. I tried to say that most other slicers, I think, don't differentiate between skin and walls like Cura and they just call them outlines,shells or skin. Therefore my confusion. Thanks for explaining the Cura specifics! Do you know why it's useful to have skins and walls separate instead of just using one setting to specify how many outlines the printed object should have?
@SandervG May it be possible to remove the added "you might also be interested in..." section you recently added to the e-mail notification? It was actually quite nice to be able to read all the post via mail client while on the go, but with this added section at the bottom it's a bit of a pain to read especially on smartphones:
May I ask whats the difference between skin and walls? It's a bit confusing why Cura has outer walls, inner walls and skin and each has a bazillion settings (overlap, extra skin...). Other Slicers most of the time only have walls or outline or skin.
Thanks @smartavionics for spending time debugging existing features and making Cura more predictable! ?
You should be able to get rid of the drag lines by changing "combing mode" to "no skin". It may sometimes not work as the "combing mode" isn't completely bug free, I think.
Top thickness not respected when using adaptive layers
cjs replied to mechamecha's topic in Ultimaker CuraGreat that you spotted this "wrong" behaviour @mechamecha and also reported it with a guide to reproduce! I will link @ctbeke as he worked on the adaptive layer feature. Maybe it's an easy fix.

Poem |
Jody's Notes
So here's a major theme for me: loss. I write about loss a lot. In all sorts of forms.
(And this is real--it's not an artificial theme I decided to adopt because I could generate a lot of poems about it. It's where I live emotionally, as it were: I live more where all the things I've lost are than where the things I haven't lost are.)
It's a bad idea, a really bad idea. To be like this. I don't recommend it at all. Take people, for example. The people you've lost are gone. So they don't care how you feel about them. It's the ones who are still around that matter. Who are resentful (for example) because you keep thinking about other people instead of them. I can see why that would be irritating. I sympathize. Totally, I mean.
People often tell other people to live in the present. To smell roses, for example. I don't recommend that, exactly--but ...
Anyway, this poem is an example of "pushing it" as far as it can go. (Aesthetically, I mean.) It's the sort of thing that I usually describe as "cute" when I see it in someone else's work: A nonexistent being experiencing a sense of loss because it now exists.
Nostalgia, as it were, doesn't get much weirder than that.
This poem was reprinted in my collection, "The Lust for Blueprints."
Existence is a perfection. —Descartes
Being has had its way with me
and I am thick with the flesh of it.
I have packed away God-ish things
for they are not the case.
Like everything else
I am trapped by tautology:
I am here now.
Even so,
light has other aspirations:
no one can put a finger on it
and yet it seems to illuminate everything.
I see how every eye
is greedy for hallucination
and it pains me,
for once upon a time
I too was a joy to behold.
Museums are anathema to me,
for I am hopeless about perspective.
Smugly flat, the fat Rubens have it all.
By contrast, I am thingy in my rage:
I am jealous of holograms,
avoid mirrors, and scoff
at water's impoverished transparency.
Nonexistence is a state of grace.
Without it, my nostalgia cannot violate logic.
I am substantial in my reservations.

Safe Water Network gives villagers in India a push toward a better future
By David Funkhouser
At a village meeting in Rajasthan, India, Ravindra Sewak of Safe Water Network
presented a challenge: We can help you build a new cistern that will improve
your water supply and your health, but you will have to pay for some of it, and
take over and maintain the system.
The villagers balked. In this desert land where just a few inches of water fall
each year, poverty rules. Typical annual incomes range from $1,000 to $1,600.
Women and children can walk several kilometers each day to fetch water for
drinking, cooking and cleaning. Dysentery is so common, Sewak said, it's not
even considered a disease anymore.
With so few resources, how could they pay for this, and handle this new work? "I
had to leave at one point," Sewak said, describing how he walked out of the
meeting to let the residents ponder the question before them. "You have to make
them believe that they have to maintain it. They need a sense of ownership and
willingness to pay so they can see the long-term vision and take responsibility. …
They need to contribute to make this work."

Title: Significant differences between augmentation of kynurenine aminotransferase I and kynurenine aminotransferase II activities in various types of brain pathology after HIV-1 infection
Baran Halina is presently Head of the Karl Landsteiner Research Institute for Neurochemistry, Neuropharmacology, Neurorehabilitation and Pain Treatment Mauer, Lower Austria, From 2005 - 2011 she was the head of Head of the Neurochemical Laboratory Karl Landsteiner Institute Mauer and Head of Neurophysiology, Veterinary Medical University Vienna.
Kynurenic acid (KYNA), an intermediate metabolite of L-kynurenine (L-KYN), is a competitive antagonist of inotropic excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors and a non-competitive antagonist of 7 alpha nicotine cholinergic receptors and its involvement in memory deficit and cognition impairment has been suggested. The biosynthetic machinery of KYNA e.g. the content of L-KYN and KYNA, and the activity of enzymes synthesizing KYNA, kynurenine aminotransferases I (KAT I) and kynurenine aminotransferase II (KAT II) in the frontal cortex and cerebellum of HIV-1 infected patients in relation to different types of pathology were investigated. Pathologies were classified as follows: HIV in brain (HIV); opportunistic infection (OPP); infarction of brain (INF); malignant lymphoma of brain (LY); and glial dystrophy (GD); and of control subjects. Within investigated pathologies the most frequent pathology was OPP (65%), followed by HIV (26%), LY, INF, and GD (each 22%, respectively). Further, 68 % of HIV-1 patients had bronchopneumonia and the utmost incidence of bronchopneumonia was seen in the OPP and LY groupby 60%. KYNA was increased significantly in the frontal cortex of LY (392 % of CO; p0.01) and HIV (253 % of CO; p<0.01), and in the cerebellum of GD (291 % of CO; p0.05). A significant increase of L-KYN was found only in the cerebellum of LY (333 % of CO; p0.05). The KAT I activity increased significantly in the frontal cortex of all pathological subgroups, i.e. OPP = 433 % > INF > LY > HIV > GD = 182 % of CO, respectively. In the cerebellum, too, all pathological subgroups showed marked increase of KAT I activity (OPP = 326 % > LY, HIV > GD > INF = 181 % of CO). On contrary, the activity of KAT II was moderately, but significantly, increased in the frontal cortex of INF and OPP; in the cerebellum of HIV, OPP and LY was comparable to control, while mildly reduced in INF and GD. Interestingly, normal subjects with the diagnosis of bronchopneumonia were characterized by high KYNA metabolism in the brain, too. The present study demonstratesa different pattern of alteration of KYNA metabolism in frontal cortex and cerebellum among investigated pathological subgroups of HIV-1 infected patients. Interestingly, a marked enhancement of KYNA metabolism in the brain has been found with occurrence of bronchopneumonia. This finding indicates a notable association between impaired conditions of oxygen availability and enhancement of KYNA formation in the human brain. These observation(s) might have an impact on the understanding of pathological processes in the brain after HIV-1 infection involving the development of neuropsychiatric and neurological symptoms including memory and cognition impairment. Our recently published data on D-cycloserine about lowering KYNA synthesis strongly supports the significance of KYNA in the clinical manifestation of bronchopneumonia and AIDS encephalopathy.

Interview Transcript
Interviewer: What's the most effective way to quit smoking? That's next on "The Scope."
Announcer: Health tips, medical news, research and more for a happier, healthier life. From University of Utah Health Sciences, this is The Scope.
Interviewer: Quitting smoking can be really, really hard and, I mean, it's complicated even more by the fact that there are a lot of different methods. You've got cold turkey, maybe weaning yourself off of cigarettes, the patch, gum. Everybody will tell you the best way to do it, but we wanted to find out what research says the best way to quit smoking is. Dr. Clint Allred is a cardiologist at University of Utah Health Care. And today, we wanted to find out what the research says. So, does the research have any particular one method that's better than the others?
Dr. Allred: Well, Scott, that's a great question. There have been a lot of research studies performed over the years looking at this very matter. And you're probably going to have some different opinions, depending on who you talk to. None the less, from my own personal opinion, having recently looked at the literature, I would say from my perspective, and from a literature perspective, the most robust would be some pharmacologic or medication-based therapies.
And there are two medication-based therapies that have FDA approval for smoking cessation. Those include a medicine called varenicline, also called Chantix by its trade name. Varenicline is the generic name. There's another medication that is called buproprion, and that's the generic name, and the trade name is Wellbutrin. Most folks will know the trade names more so than the generics.
So again, these two medications have been studied, and over the last . . . one of the bigger studies that supported these medications would have come out about 11 or 12 years ago. And they showed that these two medications were more effective than the nicotine replacement options.
Interviewer: And nicotine replacement, those are available over the counter without a prescription?
Dr. Allred: You can get some of those over the counter without a prescription.
Interviewer: And these medications do need a prescription?
Dr. Allred: These medications absolutely need a prescription. And they carry some warnings with them as well, that all healthcare providers are particularly attentive to, particularly when it comes to mental health.
Interviewer: So from your perspective, if somebody came to you and said, "I have the will to quit smoking. I want to do it. I'm ready," would your first thing that you would recommend would be these medications? Is that where you would start?
Dr. Allred: Depending on the patient's perspective. It's a joint decision between the physician and the patient. I feel like my role is to educate the patient, to provide them with a recommendation of what I feel will help them achieve their goal most effectively, and then offer them alternative options should they be hesitant about the medication approach, and then together make a decision. But yes, from my perspective, I feel that the most effective way would be to use one of these medication-based options.
Interviewer: And then, what do the numbers look like after somebody is on one of these medications, like from as far as how long does it take to quit, what are the relapse rates, that sort of thing?
Dr. Allred: Well, in terms of efficacy of quitting with, we'll just use the varenicline, or Chantix, for example, the study that I cited from 11 years ago. That one suggested that, on the order of about 45% of patients who received the prescription for the varenicline, or Chantix, were able to stop smoking within a given period of time. I'd have to go back to look at exactly what that period of time was, but if my memory serves me correctly, it was about a 12-week interval check.
Interviewer: So then, how many people actually using the medication quit smoking for good? What do we know about that?
Dr. Allred: That's another good question, and again that study that I cited from about 11 years ago, the one that showed that about 45% of patients who were on the varenicline, or Chantix, had quit by 12 weeks, if they extended that out to about one year of time, then 25% of the individuals had maintained abstinence.
Interviewer: All right. And that's the most effective method?
Dr. Allred: That is, as of right now, I would say, literature supported, the most effective method that we have.
Interviewer: That really, I think, shows how hard it is to quit smoking.
Dr. Allred: I totally agree with you.
Interviewer: I mean, because 25%, I expected that number to be a bit higher, I guess. So, and it sounds like that even using the best method, 75% of the people, after a year, will start smoking again, that maybe just even realizing this is an ongoing battle. It's not like you just go, "Well, I failed, so I guess I'll start smoking again." Maybe try it again, maybe try a different method. Is that what you advise your patients?
Dr. Allred: Yeah. If somebody is unsuccessful, then I think that it's worth giving an alternative approach a try. In the same breath though, if the individual did find success with one method, then I think they could find success with that same method again, just with maybe attention to some other of the variables. Again, maybe they didn't throw away the ash trays in their house. Maybe they didn't tell their spouse or their best friend or their lunch companion that they were stopping to smoke. So many different things can go into it.
Interviewer: Is there other support that somebody can get?
Dr. Allred: When the physician is able to prescribe the medication, that's a great first step. But some of the social support is highly needed as well. The state of Utah has a fantastic resource. It's a website, www.waytoquit.org. And this group has some fantastic information out there, not only for patients, but also for healthcare providers, about what the best methods are, what the financial resources are, what some of the health coaching options are, and I encourage all my patients who are considering smoking cessation to look into this website and to contact that group.

PHARR - The Consulate of Mexico in McAllen in partnership with Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD and the City of Pharr hosted a special ceremony to celebrate the donation of over 168,000 1st-6th grade Mexican textbooks to sites across the US who host a Plaza Comunitaria, a program sponsored by the Instituto Nacional para la Educaciόn de los Adultos (INEA). PSJA ISD hosts one of these sites, which assist adults who immigrated from Mexico to finish their elementary and middle school education.
The event was held Friday, Nov. 15 at the PSJA Garcia Parent/Community Education Center in South Pharr. This center serves as host to Mexico's Secretary of Public Education Department as they offer courses for all community members interested in finishing their education.
Of the 162,000 textbooks the Mexican Consulate will be donating throughout the US, 225 textbooks will help parents in Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD's Plaza Comunitaria continue their education. According to Mexican government officials, over 2 million textbooks have been donated to the US since 2000.
"Mexico doesn't forget Mexican nationals outside of the country," said Dr. Miguel Antonio Meza Estrada from Mexico's National Commission of Free Textbooks (CONALITEG) during the event. "Knowing two languages is better than one."
In addition to providing books for the Garcia Elementary Plaza Comunitaria serving adults, textbooks were also given to help students at Garcia Elementary participating in the PSJA Dual Language Enrichment Program.
"At PSJA ISD we take pride in offering Spanish classes from Pre-K through 12th grade through the PSJA Dual Language Enrichment Program," said PSJA Superintendent Dr. Jorge L. Arredondo. "Our students graduate with a Seal of Biliteracy recognized by universities and employers across the state and nation. Thank you to the Mexican Consulate and officials for this generous donation and choosing our school for this ceremony."
The event included performances by Garcia Elementary students, and the special recognition of nine Mexican nationals who completed coursework through the Plaza Comunitaria. Five of the nine honorees were proud parents of PSJA ISD students: Maria Concepcion Flores Muñiz, Sergio Pecina Cruz, Sandra Espinoza, Sandra Zermeño, and Clemente Piña Padron.
For Maria Concepcion Flores Muñiz, grandmother of three PSJA ISD students, finally finishing her elementary education meant a lot to her and her family.
"I am so happy. As parents we have to keep going and keep pushing for our kids," said the 83-year-old who is also taking ESL classes through the PSJA Parental Engagement Program. "Thank you to everyone who made this possible."
Among the graduates was also Escobar Elementary Head Custodian Sergio Pecina Cruz who completed his elementary education and is now inspired to pursue a GED.
"Thank you to PSJA ISD and the Mexican Consulate for offering these opportunities to help us continue our studies," said the 42-year-old. "My kids who attend PSJA ISD are always encouraging me to continue my education and are super proud of me. They are my inspiration."

P/2005 S2 (Skiff) is a large comet whose orbit is approximately between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified Skiff as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Skiff orbits the sun every 8,210 days (22.48 years), coming as close as 6.40 AU and reaching as far as 9.53 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Skiff is probably between 2658.000 to 5943.469 kilometers in diameter, making it the largest asteroid/dwarf planet, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Alaska.
Skiff's orbit is 5.40 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
Skiff's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 7, 2004. It was last officially observed on Nov. 8, 2005. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 90 observations used to determine its orbit.
The position of P/2005 S2 (Skiff) is indicated by a ◯ pink circle. Note that the object may not be in your current field of view. Use the controls below to adjust position, location, and time.

tough lighting requirement, I'm stumpedWow! Great forum. I'll try "blacklighting". After trying aluminum foil I thought anything shinny would have hot spots. It makes sense that black wouldn't. Using flat black basically worked but I couldn't get enough exposure even with 15 frames a second. David Digitally erasing the reflection in post? I didn't think of that and I might need to do that although I don't want to go to the expense if I don't have to. (even if it's just my time with a NLE) You're right, the camera does show in the pupils but that happens to fit the story so I don't need to put it in shadow (another great idea). I think I understand about the Christmas tree ornament. Really, I'm not trying to hide the light source, I'm trying to make it so uniform over the eye that it isn't noticeable. I'm trying to get the "true" color of the iris or at least a sense of it. I realize that in a sense we don't see an object itself we the light it reflects. I should mention the camera has to be three feet from the actors and I can't have any shadows on the face. So if I used a single direct light I would have to put it close to the actor to avoid shadow from the camera. I think the actor would go nuts after awhile and it will be many hours of shooting like this.
tough lighting requirement, I'm stumpedHow can I get as much indirect lighting as possible in an 8X8 room? I need to be able to do a close up on an actors eye and not see any light source or anything in the room reflected in the actors eyes. I've tried covering the room with flat white cloth but that shows in the eyes. I've tried covering the room with flat black cloth. That doesn't reflect in the eyes, at least it's not noticeable, but that sucks up too much light. Currently I'm using 8 55 watt fluorescent lights (= 250 watts incandescent). Fluorescent is preferred to keep the room cool. I've only seen what I need accomplished in the movie THX 1138. There it was done in a large room with recessed lighting pointing at a domed ceiling. I'm stuck with the 8X8 room, however. Any ideas will be appreciated.
