Provide subscribable calendar with Laravel
For a small event platform for my friends and me, I needed a subscribable calendar for e. g. Google Calendar. I had to pay attention to a few things and find out, so that it behaves correctly.
Looking for a suitable package, I found https://github.com/jasvrcek/ICS which I used for this short guide (thank's to jasvrcek).
Install the package
Just install the package as every composer package with:
composer require jsvrcek/ics
Add endpoint for ics file
The calendar should be provided simply as file that can be downloaded. As we don't want to allow every one to see the calender, I created a random string and added a route like this:
Route::get('calendar/jECECfZ49WqxQ4HVfhwDxrTROK6r7806c1UzPMW6ZeiLnLGrrOqglwQHfbpZ/CalendarName.ics', 'CalendarController') ->name("shared_calendar");
Of course you can protect this url via a web or api guard or via basic auth, but this is not part of this guide.
Build up the calendar
The following code will live in the
__invoke method of the (Single Action) CalendarController.
In the choosen package we can create a new calendar like this:
$calendar = new Calendar(); $calendar->setProdId('-//Calendar Name');
Because an event has a date, we have to set the time zone correctly so that the corresponding calendar can display it correctly. As we use Laravel we can just use the global timezone set in the config/app.php file.
$timezone = config('app.timezone'); $timeZone = new \DateTimeZone($timezone); $calendar->setTimezone($timeZone);
For supporting more Calendar programms we add some non standard headers (Follow the links if you like to learn more about them):
$calendar->setCustomHeaders([ 'X-WR-TIMEZONE' => $timezone, // Support e.g. Google Calendar -> https://blog.jonudell.net/2011/10/17/x-wr-timezone-considered-harmful/ 'X-WR-CALNAME' => 'Calendar Name', // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar 'X-PUBLISHED-TTL' => 'PT15M' // update calendar every 15 minutes ]);
Add the events
Now we are ready to add the events from the DB to the calendar. You can find the uses properties of the Event-Model by following the code.
$events = Event::all(); foreach ($events as $event) { $calendarEvent = new CalendarEvent(); $calendarEvent->setStart($event->date_from) ->setEnd($event->date_to) ->setSummary($event->summary) ->setStatus('CONFIRMED') ->setUid("event.{$event->id}"); $calendar->addEvent($calendarEvent); }
All the events in the Database are confirmed so I will hardcoded this status. You can dynamically set it with other values (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar, https://icalendar.org/RFC-Specifications/iCalendar-RFC-5545/ ).
You can add the organizer or attendees or return it as a batched stream by following the readme in the package's repo under https://github.com/jasvrcek/ICS/blob/master/README.md
Return the file
When we built the calendar with it's events, we can return it as a downloadable file. I found this (https://stackoverflow.com/a/41434119/4444567) useful response macro (https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/responses#response-macros) and changed it a bit to fit my needs:
Response::macro('attachment', function ($content, $name, $contentType) { $headers = [ 'Content-type' => $contentType.'; charset=utf-8', 'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="'.$name.'.csv"', ]; return response($content, 200, $headers); });
After I added this to my AppServiceProvider's boot method the calendar could be provided like this:
$calendarExport = new CalendarExport(new CalendarStream, new Formatter()); $calendarExport->addCalendar($calendar); return response()->attachment($calendarExport->getStream(), $name, 'text/calendar', 'ics');
A important part while providing the download, is to set the correct filename in the Content-Disposition-Header. Otherwise Google Calendar will use the url as name which is kinda ugly.
Validate the output
You can use this validator to check if you missed something or wan't to check the format after added more properties.
Accessing the Calendar
You can provide the link with the webcal protocol so that it is opened with the default calendar program like this:
Note that access could be unencrypted (without https). Furthermore, webcal is not an official protocol and cannot be generated with the Laravel
route helper.
Update: Thanks to
jules for reporting some bugs and giving tips.
4 Comments
Good guide, but I think you meant to put another extension in the 'attachment' macro. 'ics' instead 'csv' most likely.
Another point I'd like to add: linking to this endpoint with a `webcal` protocol (instead of http / https) will automatically make it a subscription calendar for iCal / Outlook.
Thank you, I've fixed the bug and added a notice about the webcal protocol.
Great guide just a helpful note, this line of code wasn't liked by my editor ->setUid('event.'$event->id); so I changed it to ->setUid("event.{$event->id}") which incorporates the event ID in the same string rather than concatenating.
Thanks, there was a missing string-concat-point.

Elder Scrolls Online offers ESO account holders many ways to collect ESO gold and Elder Scrolls Online items. Players can choose to be sneaky, or with this build for the Nightblade, outright vicious. This Beserker build does away with stealth and charges at the enemy with blind rage.
ESO gold using heavy damage
Elder Scrolls Online account holders who want to use this build will need to look for Two-handed Elder Scrolls Online weapons. For the primary skill bar, your Elder Scrolls Online gold hunter will focus on single target damage abilities.
The first skill on the Berserker's bar will be Critical Charge (Critical Rush). This is a great opener as well as gap closer. To make the most out of this skill, always use it as far as you can from the target. This is due to the damage scaling based on how far the target is.
The next skill on the bar is Uppercut (Wrecking Blow). This will yield the biggest damage among the Berserker's skills. It also knocks back and stuns targets as well as increasing the damage done by the next weapon attack. This is especially useful when setting up combos.
Health and your ESO gold hunter
Once the target has low health, finish it off with Reverse Slash(Executioner). This skill is ideal for taking out targets due to its increased damage to low health targets.
If, on the other hand, the Berserker is on low, Strife (Swallow Soul) is needed. When cast, this spell will deal damage to the target. What is important however is the heal over time it places on the Berserker. All other heals will also be improved include Strife itself.
Buffing your ESO gold hunter
The remaining two skills on the bar go to abilities that improve weapon damage. Being able to punch through thick Elder Scrolls Online armor is always a good thing. The first weapon buffing skill to use is Momentum (Rally). While active, it will improve Two-handed weapon damage and heal the Berserker over time. It can also be recast for a burst heal.
The last skill on the bar is the ultimate Dawnbreaker (Flawless Dawnbreaker). Simply slotting this is will up weapon damage.

Our January newsletter has just been published. In this issue, find out more about
- Parent Mini-Conference on Gifted Education
- A Science Club
- Accountability Pillar Survey information
- … and more …
Our January newsletter has just been published. In this issue, find out more about
We will be having our School Information Night on Wednesday, January 28 at our Ardrossan School location.
The information session will begin with an general assembly in the gym at 7:00 p.m. Information regarding giftedness and our school in general will be presented. Parents interested in our school are invited to attend.
After the large group session, parents will break out to the classrooms where grade specific information will be shared and questions can be asked. The kindergarten presentation will continue in the gym.
The junior high information will be a joint 7-9 presentation. Parents of current NHS Grade 6 students may wish to attend. We will be making a presentation to the Grade 6 class later in the spring after more junior high planning has occurred.
Come dressed in those comfy pj's! Students may also bring a stuffy or pillow to take to the gym for buddy reading at lunch recess.
Each short Wednesday afternoon, we have a school-wide Inspire and Create (C&I) event. Students are in multi-grade (K-9) house groups and are given engaging tasks that require collaboration and the use of creative problem solving skills.
Each session begins with students practicing their divergent thinking skills by generating as many responses as possible to a statement. This week's statement was "_________ changes ________ to __________" (for example "Heat turns ice into water."
House groups earn points based on the number ideas they can generate within a time-frame.
After the war-up activity, students work on a larger, more challenging task. This month's C & I task was to use the material's given to create something that could protect an egg breaking after being hit with a softball. There were many creative solutions, but only a few protectors could withstand the brute force of a falling softball!
In the photo below, students anxiously wait to see if the softball dropped through the tube would crush the egg (below the tube) that is protected by the egg protector.
This is a reminder that Wednesday, January 7 is an early dismissal day. Students are dismissed at 2:10 p.m.
Also, students should remember to wear their house colours on Wednesday. Points will be awarded for those participating. We will be having our school-wide Imagine and Create creativity activity in the last part of the afternoon

We have posted loads of videos and photos of Newcastle on our site over the past few months. People seem to love the time-lapse videos we have shared that capture day to day life in Newcastle as it is now but perhaps the most popular posts we have shared are those that take a historic look at the city.
What's better than an old photo of Newcastle? An slide-show containing loads of them all in one video!
The video below looks at what shopping was like in Newcastle during the 1960's and 1970s – before the arrival of Eldon Square and the MetroCentre.
The footage is made up of a selection of photos by Laszio Torday, who was a chemical engineer, industrialist and a very giften photographer.
You will find many of his photos on the Newcastle Libraries Flickr account which is where we found the following information about him…
'He arrived in Tynemouth in January 1940 from Hungary and eventually moved to Jesmond. His photographs, the majority taken in the 1960's and 1970's, reflect his interest in the streets and people of Newcastle, especially of central Newcastle and the suburbs of Heaton and Jesmond.'
Check out the slide-show video below and also the links underneath which will take you to more historical footage related to Newcastle…

Today we all are experiencing the growth of cities worldwide. In a way, we can say that we are beneficiaries of the developments under rapid urbanization, we being so connected to the structured urban services and meeting with the other needful facilities in living. However, it is a question whether such facilities are there for all irrespective of social and administrative boundaries such as the neighbourhood, village, township, city, country and then the region. Currently, 50% of the global population is at the fringe of these so-called urban areas and their standards of living are much below the appropriate levels.
According to the United Nations (2018), more than 60% of world's population is expected to live in urban areas by 2030 and the rate will touch the 70% by 2050 creating more densified cities around us. This is a serious situation that will be faced in the near future and the worst scenario, as forecasted by United Nations is over 90% of this urban growth by 2050 will occur in cities and towns of the developing world, mostly in Africa and Asia delivering huge social, economic and environmental transformations.
Although cities evolved into ever bigger ones through spontaneous developments in the past against which the planners lamented, today the desire is to make cities larger and larger. On the one hand, the modern luxuries, culture, education and health-care are available and can be provided more effectively only in cities. On the other, more rewarding employment and leisure are also available where people conglomerate; the cities. This is the wrong turn that the world has taken and proceeds on.
Under this pressure, urban sustainability has become more challenging due to a lack of resources. Again there are two paths here that can be understood. The 'developed countries' who have money will not get affected by the negative impacts of any development or loss of resources as they can spend adequately to retrieve their needs. But the developing countries cannot afford it and they always become the victims.
Unplanned expansions of cities
Generally, the rapid and often unplanned expansions of cities expose more people and other economic assets to the risks of disasters, many types of vulnerabilities and the adverse effects of the climate change, etc. and exerts pressure on freshwater supplies, sewage, the living environment and public health.
zTherefore, it is our duty to consume resources without compromising future generations' luxury to consume them.
When we look at our own context, the Sri Lankan government has now embarked on a programme to create more functional and sustainable cities ranging from small to mega. Colombo's Megapolis may not be a built-from-scratch but aspires to 'stitch together' the places that already exist and re-make them. Undeniably, present places will be transformed and it is here that the ideas of 'place-making', and 'place-enabling' have real relevance. The historic preservation and smart city concepts are also a concern in this regard. Recently, Sri Lankan cities experience a number of disasters in settlements and mitigation from them is a task. Therefore, importance has to be given on these aspects in the proposed Mega City planning and ongoing urban development policies in Sri Lanka. It is also seen that in recent times, the government planning and development institutions have been unable to engage in such areas of needs in urban management and their involvements are mostly limited into top-down planning interventions, also mostly implemented by introducing with feeble or rather unpractical planning and development control mechanisms. Further to this, it shows that there are no proper strategies worked out so that the local authorities would be strengthened with technical and professional capacities to improve the local public service.
Considering the above, the need to engage in urban researches in a more scientific and practical way has been highlighted and accordingly, a unique centre for researches on cities called 'UOM Urban Lab' – 'Centre for Cities' has been initiated by the University of Moratuwa to fill this gap.
The urban lab is one of the leading research centres in Sri Lanka which plays a major role in aforementioned grey areas in the national level of development as newfangled research, advisory and guiding centre.
'UOM Urban Lab' – 'Centre for Cities' is an interdisciplinary research arm of the University of Moratuwa. It draws together the research and outreach energies of scholars of architecture, urban design, planning, conservation, environmental management, transportation, construction and facilities management, housing, landscape, real estate, land use surveying, urban economics, statistical modelling and urban studies.
National and international research
The 'UOM Urban Lab'- Centre for Cities is anchored by the researchers in the University of Moratuwa in the Departments of Architecture, Planning, Building Economics, Integrated design, IT, Transportation and Logistics, Civil Engineering and provides a focus for urban researchers across the university with the international collaborative university partners.
Particularly, this urban lab has a strong intention to promote awareness and knowledge on different aspects of cities, strengthen the national and international research collaborations with government, industry and community organisations to share knowledge and research experience on the issues facing in future cities, facilitate the inter-university and inter-institutional activities among related academic and professional institutions as a central coordinating body, create platform for research, debate and dissemination of information and information exchange, pioneer the development of a more diverse and creative approach to the reinterpretation, reuse and manage the existing tangible and intangible urban resources and serve the public, its connections and interdisciplinary relations to serve the public through research on high density and megacities.
As part of this research work, our research lab has created a platform for research scholars to present their research articles in annual international research conferences such as 'Cities, People, Places' (ICCPP) and I3SC. Along with that, the bi-annual international research journal called 'Cities, People, Places' is also committed to developing social media as the means of informing contemporary urban conditions.
In addition to the research articles, the UOM Urban Lab wishes to engage in public awareness activities and conduct training programmes and workshops on the related subject areas.
The 'UOM Urban Lab- Centre for Cities' has merged its plans with the current tangible and intangible urban issues, grey areas of planning, urban management and regulations etc. at the hands of policymakers and practitioners in order to strengthen the alternative futures of our cities.

She's also skilled in WordPress administration. our editorial process LinkedIn Sue Chastain Updated on September 23, 2019 Sue Chastain Design Graphic Design Photoshop Animation & Video 3D Design Tweet Share Email There are a few ways to make a photo look like a Polaroid picture. For example, you can import a Polaroid template into graphic editing software such as GIMP or Photoshop Elements, or you can use a web-based tool that adds Polaroid frames to images. There are also plenty of mobile apps that turn your photos into Polaroids. Instructions in this article apply to GIMP 2.10 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. How to Add a Polaroid Frame to an Image With Tuxbi Tuxbi is a web-based photo editing tool that provides hundreds of borders and other graphical assets for free. To frame a photo like a Polaroid using Tuxbi: Go to Tuxbi.com and select Start Photo Editing. Select your image. Select Add Effect. Scroll down and select Polaroid under Frames & Borders. Enter a caption under Caption and select Update. You can also add text to the image and make other adjustments using the toolbar at the top of the page. Select Save to download your new photo. There are other free photo editing tools on the web that offer similar types of borders. There are also free Polaroid templates that you can download and use in your own editing software. Add a Polaroid Frame to an Image on Your Phone If you have a photo on your phone or tablet that you want to look like a Polaroid, you can use an app like InstaLab to add a border to your image: Download InstaLab for Android or iOS. Launch the InstaLab app and tap IMPORT in the bottom-left corner. Tap BORDERS, then select one of the Polaroid frames at the bottom. When satisfied with your selection, tap the down arrow in the top-right corner. Tap Save. How to Add a Polaroid Frame to an Image in GIMP Using a free graphics program like GIMP gives you greater control over how your final image will look. That said, it's still recommended to use a premade Polaroid template. A Google search for free Polaroid templates will return pages of results, so pick whichever one you like. Websites like Vecteezy have a number of free and premium options. To frame a photo like a Polaroid using a template in GIMP: Open your Polaroid template in GIMP. Go to File > Open as Layers. Select your image. Select your image in the Layers palette and drag it under the template layer. If the Layers palette isn't visible, select Window > Dockable Dialogs > Layers to bring it up. Select the Scale tool and click on your image to adjust the size so that it will fit within the Polaroid frame. Select the Move tool and drag the image into the frame. You may have to switch back and forth between the Scale and Move tools a few times before you get the positioning right. Once satisfied with the effect, you can save your work as an XCF file for further editing, or you can export it as a JPEG or another image format. You can use the same method to achieve a Polaroid effect in Photoshop and other graphics programs. You can also import your Polaroid template into a Word document. What Are the Official Polaroid Frame Dimensions? If you plan to create your own Polaroid frame, keep in mind that there are official standards for Polaroid pictures. To be authentic, your frame should fit one the following specs: SX70 Polaroid Frame: 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"Photo: 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" Spectra Polaroid Frame: 4" x 4 1/8"Photo: 3 5/8" x 2 7/8"

I would like to be able to set a threshold for peak integration for peaks outside my established calibration that doesn't affect the peaks in the calibration. Is this possible in Chemstation?
For example, if I have three peaks I am calibrated for at a peak height of 100 and I want to integrate all unknown peaks present at peak height of 150, is there a way to set the integration to grab only those unknown peaks at 150, but still integrate all three compounds observed in my calibration table regardless of their peak height?

Opponents of the proposed Rio Grande liquefied-natural gas pipeline near South Padre Island delivered nearly 2,000 public comments on Monday to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality headquarters in Austin.
"There is tremendous opposition to LNG in the Valley," Rebekah Hinojosa, Rio Grande Valley Sierra Club organizer, said in a news release. "Not only are local residents sending public comments, city council members representing them have passed resolutions opposing LNG, intervened on the company federal permit applications, and cities are demanding contested case hearings from the TCEQ for the LNG air permits."
Rio Grande LNG includes three companies that have applied to the state and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to build a plant for liquefying and shipping natural gas delivered to the Valley via a pipeline.
The City of Laguna Vista voted on March 19 to request a contested hearing from the TCEQ for Rio Grande LNG's air permit.
Laguna Vista City Manager Rolando Vela said the City Council took the action because it believes the pipeline would have an adverse impact on the community.
In a news release, the Sierra Club said that Port Isabel City Manager Jared Hockema stated that the city will also request a contested hearing.
Hockema said the Port Isabel City Commission has voted to oppose the construction of the LNG facilities, joining every other public entity in the Laguna Madre area, including the City of South Padre Island, the Laguna Madre Water District and PointIsabelIndependentSchool District.
Hockema said there are many reasons the city is opposed to Rio Grande LNG, which boil down to safety, quality of life and the impact on environmentally sensitive ecosystems in the Laguna Madre.

How do you decide what to do each day? I mean, some of it is obvious, but when you start to juggle shifting priorities and have to make choices about how to spend your time and how you can feel most successful, it can get overwhelming, confusing and often it's very easy to feel lost and defeated.
Especially if you're an entrepreneur or small business owner paving your own path to success.
Being your own boss is cool, but sometimes, having a boss can make prioritizing your life easier. The structure of a job description and fear of being fired is handy when you're not quite sure what to do next. Especially when your boss is literally paid to make sure you do the right thing, the right way and in the right order.
This is where I love a good one liner mission statement.
Something simple and clear that reminds of of why you get up in the morning and do what you do. Something so simple it cuts right through the clutter and makes decision making easy. Something that when you say it out loud or to anybody else, it just makes sense and feels right.
How I Crafted My One Linner Mission Statement
"I help people eat more plants." Sounds so simple, but it actually took me 20 years to chisel down, clarify and simplify. I knew very early on I wanted to help people "be healthy," but that is pretty vague and also subjective.
What one may consider good health could be far different from another. So I made it a bit more specific and stated that "I wanted to reduce disease and death by informing and empowering people to make smarter lifestyle decisions." (It's still baffling to me today that our lifestyle choices contribute to 70% of the disease in our country, but I digress…)
While that is still specific, it's also very vague… Based on all my research and experience over the past 20 years, I have decided that the world would be a better place if people simply at more plants. It's better for the enviornment, it's better for the pigs, cows, chicken and fish, and it's better for the human body in terms of maintaining a healthy weight and disease free body.
So there you have it. I do help people "be healthy" and I do "empower people to make smarter choices…" and I do that by "helping people eat more plants.
And all my days are structured around that primary goal and my business decisions are based on that simple statement and question.
Your turn, how to craft your one-liner Mission Statement
The basic structure of the sentence is like this: I ___ (Do Something)___, ____(For Someone)____, to ____(Action/Impact)___.
Do Something: This is a verb and it's what you do.
I help.
Do you inspire, direct, advocate, educate, inform, support, research, review, sell, create, coach, perform, program, build…ect. You get it right?
For Someone: This is a noun and it's who you're doing, what you do, for.
I help people.
Who do you do what you do for? Children, consumers, busy adults, women, men, animals, farms, small business owners, millennials, families, college students, entrepreneurs, working moms, singles, couples, divorcees, a certain product, ect. Make sense?
Action/Impact: This is the action you want to see or impact you want to make.
I help my people eat more plans.
What action do you inspire or impact do you create? A healthier planet, better food, faster performance, lose weight, find confidence, improve financial condition, live pain free, be more efficient, make more money, create community, love their homes, excel in the workplace, experience dream vacations?
I mean…this can be anything, but it's the thing that makes you glow when you're telling people about it. It's the thing you know would make the world a better place if your could make the impact or get more people to do it.
Does this make sense?
Can you put your life's work into a simple 3 part, one line mission statement to simplify your life? If you can, use the tweetable below and share it with the world and/or leave it in the comments because I'd love to know … what you do and who you're doing it for!My Mission Statement: I ___ (Verb)___, ____(Audience)____, to ____(Action/Impact)___.

A closing reception for conservation landscape photographer Robert McGinley's exhibit "Topography, Light and Magic" at Blue Seven Gallery in Santa Monica Friday, July 31st will feature actor/environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr., who will speak about the importance of land and resource conservation.
The reception is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. at Blue Seven Gallery, 3129 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica.
The exhibit explores natural landscapes that are threatened by development and captures these environments at their most beautiful and vulnerable, a gallery spokesman said. Proceeds from the exhibit benefit both Heal the Bay and Santa Monica Baykeeper, organizations devoted to protecting California's water resources.
"I am honored that Ed Begley Jr. will be joining me in order to raise awareness regarding land conservation in California and beyond," said McGinley. "His well-documented green lifestyle and his passion for environmental causes underscores the wonderful synergy between the organizations my work is benefiting and the gracious green community in Santa Monica and the Los Angeles area."
Photographed on farmland 35 miles outside of Chicago, the images present an array of landscapes. The collection, shot from 2001-2008, played a key role in the preservation of 425 acres of farmland in Barrington, Illinois, McGinley noted.
The photos were used as exhibits in the application process to federal, state and local lawmakers to create what is believed to be the largest permanent land preservation easement in the state of Illinois. The easement also protects a crucial watershed and threatened bird species that are located on the farmland.
"My photos are raw presentations of wetlands, prairie and woodlands during 'Magic Hour' at dawn or dusk," said McGinley. "The images display the organic beauty of these settings, which are manipulated by natural elements such as clouds, fog and sunlight."
McGinley is active in the preservation of land and water in his own home of Santa Monica, and is a member of the Trust for Public Land, Heal the Bay, Waterkeeper Alliance, and the Environmental Defense Fund.

We listen for God's calling voice, even from the most surprising sources.
We look for God's good works, even in the most unexpected places.
We listen and we look—because God calls us, even our surprising selves, to do good works, even where we never expected.
Pause. Listen. Look.next >
Those of you who love the Lord, hate evil! God guards the lives of his faithful ones, delivering them from the power of the wicked. Light is planted like seed for the righteous person; joy too for those whose heart is right. Rejoice in the Lord, righteous ones! Give thanks to his holy name!
Psalm 97:10-12next >
Just this week we seem to have moved safely into spring, so I went to the garden center and bought plants for my patio — a few flowers, but mostly tomatoes, peppers, herbs.
This time last year I planted seeds of all the things I wanted to grow. But the thing about seeds is, if you're a halfway decent gardener, if you pay attention and take care of them, even if some are duds, you still end up with way more tomatoes and peppers and herbs than you can possibly eat. You'll have more flowers than you can fit in your pots. You'll end up giving plants and produce to everyone you meet!
"Light is planted like seed… joy too," the Psalmist said.
Light and joy, if you pay attention and take care of them, will take over your garden. They'll spring up everywhere, unexpectedly, abundantly. They'll create beauty where you least expect it and bring nourishment from surprising sources.
And you'll have armloads of them to give away.
Nikki Finkelstein-Blairnext >
Thank you, God, for your faithfulness in planting light in me; thank you for your generosity in growing my joy! Teach me to be a faithful gardener, to watch closely and tend carefully wherever I see your seeds sprouting up — especially where I never thought to look. Amen.next >

Look: God, the Most High, is working!

How do you work out whether a segment of natural language prose entails a sentence?
There are two extreme positions on how to model what's going on. One is to translate the natural language into a logic of some kind, then apply a theorem prover to draw conclusions. The other is to use algorithms which work directly on the original text, using no knowledge of logic, for instance applying lexical or syntactic matching between premises and putative conclusion.
The main problem with the translation approach is that it's very hard, as anyone who has tried manually to formalise some prose will agree. The main problem with approaches processing the text in a shallow fashion is that they can be easilly tricked, e.g., by negation, or systematically replacing quantifiers.
Bill MacCartney and Christopher D. Manning (2009) report some work from the space in between using so-called natural logics, which work by annotating the lexical elements of the original text in a way that allows inference. One example of such a logic familar to those in the psychology of reasoning community is described by Geurts (2003).
The general idea is finding a sequence of edits, guided by the logic, which try to transform the premises into the conclusion. The edits are driven solely by the lexical items and require no context.
Seems promising for many cases, easily beating both the naive lexical comparisons and attempts automatically to formlalise and prove properties in first-order logic.

Women's Lake 22™ Down Vest - Plus Size is rated out of 5 by 27.
Rated 5 out of 5 by slewis287 from The plus size vest I've been looking for Love this vest! Being larger in general, and especially in the chest area, I was worried about tightness in some parts and bagginess in others. No issue like that on this product. It's warm but light and has handy pockets. Thanks, Columbia, for making plus size clothes that fit well so people of all sizes can enjoy the outdoors!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jtbrud from Perfect for cooler days Im a daily walker and find sometimes a jacket just too warm thats why i bought this vest its perfect layer for those inbetween days and also a great addition for camping nights to add as a layer around the bonfire (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
Date published: 2020-06-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmmaO from Wonderful Vest So I'm typically between an extra small and a small. I went with an extra small because I was worried that a small would look too boxy. The extra small is very flattering and sits right above my bum (I'm 5'2). I can easily fit a sweater or light jacket underneath without feeling constricted. However, with a lot of my hoodies, the sleeves do kind of puff out right at the armpits of the vest because all of my hoodies are size small so they're slightly baggy. I do think that because this vest has such a flattering shape, I definitely could've purchased a small and it would still have fit well. So my recommendation if you are between sizes would be to think about how you'd like to wear this vest. If you're planing on doing lots of layering then I would suggest going with the larger size. If your looking for a more form fitting vest with room for light layering then I'd suggest going for the smaller size. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beckoslovakia79 from Great Vest Bought this vest to replace one I left in airport security. This vest runs generous but is nice because I can layer thick under it and it still fits well. Its nice and light weight but very warm. Not bulky. Love the color contrast seams and zippers. Very happy with my purchase. Probably could've gone down to a 1X. I'm 5'5" 250 large chested and the 2X fits very generously.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jules1234 from Comfy and Cozy I love my new vest! Goes well with everything and provides warmth on those not so cold days. The fit is snug for 1X, probably should have purchased the 2X if I wanted room for over bulky sweatshirts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Oregonjen from Best vest! This is a nice vest and the gray space dye color is fun. I own a couple Heavenly vests and this vest is equally warm without the bulk and weight of the Heavenly vests. This vest is lightweight and very warm considering it doesn't have Omni heat technology. I'd buy another one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cbmetta from Lake 22 Down Vest I love that Columbia provides plus sizing for outdoor clothing because that's where I spend my time: in the outdoors.

So I had to return my first order and wait for a second . . . which came quickly! (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tamiami from Nice down vest Down vests are hard to find for plus size women. I love the vest quality and comfort. It wasn't super puffy which I like. I did have to return it though because it was way too wide for my body at the bottom. My hips are narrower so it looked ridiculously huge. I wanted to love it and did all except for that one reason.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Samantha15 from Perfect Vest I absolutely love this vest. It fits true to size and is very comfortable to wear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CarolinaGirl76 from Couldn't be more pleased! I absolutely love this vest and wear it all the time. It's great for fall, if a little warmer than I expected. Extremely lightweight and folds down to literally fit in my purse! I can't say enough good things. Note that for me, sizing ran a little big - lots of wiggle room for layering...lots. So unless you're wearing a hoodie and something else under, don't even consider sizing up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AbiBoley1007 from Packable and warm! I was expecting a big bulky vest when I ordered this. When I received it I was nervous it wouldn't be warm since it's very thin... I was so wrong! I wore this outside to shovel with jeans and a long sleeve shirt, it kept my core warm and toasty...and I even had sweat on my back once I came back inside. Definitely recommend if you don't like the bulk of coats/jackets, but want the warmth. I'm excited to wear this when we go skiing and snowshoeing.

France: fresh protests in Brittany against 'eco-tax'
Hundreds of demonstrators, mainly farmers and food sector workers, held another protest in Brittany against the French government's taxation plans.
Riot police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds that had gathered to oppose the so-called 'eco-tax'.
Aimed at encouraging environmentally friendly transport, the proposed measure would impose new levies on heavy vehicles transporting commercial goods.
Over the last few weeks, several protests have been held in Brittany and in other areas of France – leading the government to announce that the 'eco-tax' would be suspended.
Many demonstrators want the tax completely scrapped. A mass rally is planned for November 30.

Toronto home prices jumped more than 20 percent in February for the sixth straight month as listings dried up, pushing the price of a suburban house beyond C$1 million ($750,000) for the first time.
The average home in Canada's biggest city, including condominiums, detached and townhouses, climbed 28 percent to C$875,983 last month from the prior year as active listings were cut in half to 5,400, according to a report from the Toronto Real Estate Board released Friday. Sales rose 5.7 percent to 8,014 deals.
Meanwhile in the suburbs, which cover the 905 area code, the average detached home price soared 35 percent to C$1.11 million from last February, the fastest growth of any housing type in the greater Toronto area. Detached home prices in the core of the city continued climbing, up 30 percent to C$1.57 million.
"Nothing is more bubbly right now than the Toronto housing market," David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff & Associates Inc., said in a note to clients. Rosenberg was known for calling the U.S. housing bubble before it popped, kicking off the 2008 financial crisis.
Toronto home prices continued on their hot pace despite efforts to tamp down on the heat. Last year, the federal government implemented several housing regulations, including raising the stress testing of loans for even the safest borrowers, limiting mortgage insurance for banks, and closing a tax loophole for foreign purchasers. Experts have blamed foreign investors, a supply crunch, and outdated zoning regulations preventing increased density in some parts of the city.
The average home price in the city is equivalent to about 10 years' worth of median family income versus 7-1/2 years a year agoand are more than 60 percent overvalued on a price-to-income basis, Toronto-based Rosenberg noted. And while the Bank of Canada is unlikely to be raising interest rates soon, the risk is the country imports interest rate increases from the U.S.
"The amount of leverage is so huge and so unprecedented that it would not likely take much in the way of an increase in mortgage rates to cause the price momentum in real estate, especially in Toronto, to go into reverse," he said.
Even the Toronto Real Estate Board said the market is overheating.
"Over the past year, we have reached a point where government policies that target only the demand side of the market, whether we're talking about foreign buyers or further changes to mortgage lending guidelines, will not be enough to balance market conditions and moderate the pace of price growth," Jason Mercer, director of market analysis for the board, said in its statement.

Don't mean can't never come back, but the interest is very little for people that like it just for fun.
it was nerfed in the end and you could only do parties of 5 instead of 20, which basically killed off a lot of it.
Yeah, it was funny. They killed off the raid groups, and limited it to 5. Which killed off the fun, and then used that as the justification for removing conquest altogether.
In fact it already died on EU side, when they put this PvE item in the winner cache. Suddenly there was always one full 20er premade-farmgroup against 2-5 randoms. At some point nobody queued for conquest, besides the 20er premade. Conquest had already died when they limited the groups to 5.

That could have easily been a leader with little experience or ability to lead CQ, or players that refuse to switch roles when you refer to the raid setup. You're right with respect to the premades being too powerful for the time, at least during late 3.0 when the PvP population had dwindled to low numbers already. The remaining CQ leaders admitted that 20 was too large a size for a premade and suggested it be reduced to 10.
By the time they had reduced premades to 5, CQ simply wasn't a relevant piece of content for people to do anymore. I believe it was still giving upgrade parts for gear a tier or two behind.
You're right about it being dead or dying off long before the premade reduction to 5. It was a time of 20-man premade "speed runs" which everyone hated. In fact it got to the point where the premade speed run was less than 10 people who'd split off and gank random stragglers.

I'll be the first to admit.
I did run 2 teams sometimes.
Sometimes I ran all 3.
During Storm Legion, NMT and SFP.
Sometimes I ran all 4.
I still lead Conquest on Prime, I've just hidden the CQ tab from everyone else so I can lead myself to victory on all 3 teams.
I'm sorry for exploiting. I just wanted a sense of pride and accomplishment.

As for gear, that happened all the time and most leaders generally didn't inspect people's gear. They just expected you to have PvP gear on. I never inspected gear, I just looked at the classes to make sure they matched up with what the raid needed.
As for raids being formed to feed the main raid, this is incorrect. In NA that "private channel" was always open to join and many of the raids formed there were formed because competition was forming in crossevents.
CQ matchmaking being broken is an issue on Trion's end that they never fixed. There's no way for players to exploit the matchmaker because it's completely broken.
Everything after Storm Legion was a mistake. ()

Work frenzy as Port Royal prepares for first cruise ship
WITH just two day to go before Port Royal receives its first cruise ship work is progressing at a frenzied pace on the pier development at Old Coal Wharf, just outside of the entrance to the town.
Professor Gordon Shirley President of The Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ), which is developing the port, told journalists yesterday that the cruise ship lines have agreed to come to Port Royal, with the understanding that the pier is a work in progress.
"It is not a finished terminal, but it is in a state that is acceptable for having the ships come in," he said yesterday morning during a media sensitisation tour of the development, and Fort Charles, one of the main attractions in the town.
Professor Shirley pointed to the development of the Falmouth pier in 2011, noting that its terminal building was not yet roofed when the first vessel arrived, and the shops were not usable.
"Falmouth was not yet ready, but the cruise ships understand that with a new terminal you have to work out all the bumps, make sure that all the technologies work, all the systems work...so they're prepared to come even before it is fully ready on the understanding that their guests will nonetheless be safe using the terminal [and] traversing the town," he explained.
Shirley said the construction of the landside facilities is "reasonably advanced", including the terminal building which will be critical for the processing of arrivals.
Professor Shirley stressed that it has taken an "outstanding effort" by engineers to have the facilities in a state to accept the Marella Discovery II on Monday.
During the tour senior officers of The PAJ explained the various attractions that are being enhanced or developed within the town for the benefit of the visitors.
Historical sites such as Fort Charles is being redeveloped with new cannons and props, for example, to deliver the 17th century experience to visitors, who will be led on guided tours, featuring storytellers.
Additionally, a new giddy house offering is being developed with a guided tour and storytelling, and souvenir shop. The PAJ says full service cruise shipping operations will start in the 20/21 tourist season, but that for now four initial ship calls are planned to "introduce" the port to the market.
The pier is being constructed on a section of the former Royal Naval dockyard or "Old Coal Wharf", which served the royal navy for over 300 years after which it was developed as a coaling wharf for visiting steamships.
One of the most impressive features of the pier is the seawalk, a newly developed floating berth, which is presently only used in Sweden and Norway.
The Port Royal seawalk would be the first of its type in this hemisphere, senior vice-president of engineering and port development at The PAJ, Mervis Edghill explained. "So we are indeed pioneers in so far as this system is concerned; it can be used to disembark passengers in approximately 10 minutes. It is safe because of its capacity and the floating pontoons," he said.
The floating berth, which can facilitate swift disembarking, and up to 3 000 passengers at a time, according to the PAJ, unfolds to meet the vessel, which is anchored offshore, and allows movement from the ship's gangway onto the pier and shore.
It is not intended for the pier to operate strictly as a point of entrance and exit for cruise ship visitors, The PAJ noted, as landside facilities will feature vending kiosks, retail shops, rest areas, and indoor and outdoor restaurants
While the authorities say the residents of Port Royal have been made an integral part of the process, with the Jamaica National Heritage Trust providing training of scores of persons in tour guiding, and storytelling some residents of the small historic town expressed concerns about the development.
Some have taken a wait-and-see approach, while others openly expressed their apprehension in Jamaica Observer interviews.
Strong concerns remain about housing, water, and sewage disposal, with some people questioning the flurry of activity around the port development, after years of being told that certain works could not be undertaken due to Port Royal's geological and historical sensitivity.
Some of those concerns are being addressed as a result of the pier development, including improved water supply by the National Water Commission, and connection to the modular sewerage plant, which will serve the port and provide, for the first time, a sewerage system for the town.

3-D printing is an additive manufacturing process which creates a physical object from a digital design, by laying down thin layers of material — in the form of liquid or powdered plastic, metal or cement — which is fused together.
3D printing technology is already increasing manufacturing productivity and has such potential that it could massively disrupt the manufacturing logistics andinventorymanagementindustries — if it can be successfully used inmass production, and if manufacturing becomes more local.
However, 3-D printing speeds are still too slow for mass production. For now, the technology is mainly reducing theleadtimein the development of prototypes of parts and devices, and the tooling needed to make them. This is a huge benefit to smaller scale manufacturers because it reduces costs and time to market. Because 3-D printing can create intricate and complex shapes using less material than subtractive manufacturing processes like milling, it is used in hydro-forming, stamping and injection moulding and other processes.
Car and aircraft manufacturers have taken the lead in 3-D manufacturing, using the technology to transform unibody and fuselage design and production, and powertrain design and production. Boeing is using 3D-printed titanium parts in the construction of its 787 Dreamliner airliner. The U.S. and Israeli air forces are already using 3D printers to manufacture spare parts. GE, which sees itself at the forefront of the industrial internet created a helicopter engine, in 2017, with 16 parts instead of 900 – a sign of how big an impact 3D printing could have onsupply chains.
In medical sciences, 3D printing is being used to customize implants. And this technology could soon revolutionize dentistry. In the future, organs and body parts may be created using 3D printing techniques.
In fashion, Nike. Adidas and New Balance are using 3D printing to create prototypes faster than ever, and create customized shoes. In 2018, Nike revealed it had made the first 3D-printed textile upper in performance footwear, called Flyprint – which precisely engineers the textile by unwinding a coil of thermoplastic filament which is laid down in melted layers.
In the construction industry, companies around the world are making breakthroughs in 3D-home printing. Using layers of concrete, homes can be built in 48 hours, which are stronger than regular cinder block and only a fraction of the price.

The female councillor for Kakuuto tabled a motion to use Luganda. It was immediately passed prompting excitement among the majority
Some of the councillors who supported the motion to discuss in Luganda
Although English is Uganda's official language, majority of councillors in Kyotera district including the district speaker, Peter Asiimwe Sasira, can hardly relate with the language, while others hardly comprehend the rules of procedure.
This always wastes most of their time when debating and passing important resolutions.
In a recent council sitting at Kasaali sub-county headquarters, majority of councillors laboured to express themselves in English while others remained silent until close of business.
In order to avoid such confusion, Agnes Namusiitwa, the female councillor for Kakuuto tabled a motion to use Luganda. It was immediately passed prompting excitement among the majority.
Namusiitwa said several councillors always fail to present their views in English, especially on fundamental issues that concern their electorate.
"Important ideas are usually left out because some councillors choose to remain silent due to low self-esteem," she recounted.
According to the speaker, Sasira, it was a good resolution since it allows them to comfortably debate in the commonly spoken vernacular (Luganda).
However, Kintu Kisekulo, the Kyotera LC5 chairperson, said the councillors also struggle with understanding the Local Government Act and often give the chief administrative officer difficult time since he has to interpret the law for them and then still translate in Luganda.
Kisekulo attributed the misinterpretation of the rules of procedure to lack of induction training.
He said most of them own a copy of regulations and guidelines governing the council proceedings, but they cannot interpret what they read.

USA: New York MTA has placed a framework order worth $1·8bn with Kawasaki Rail Car for the supply of up to 676 multi-system commuter rail EMU cars. Designated M-9, the trains would be designed for use by MTA's two suburban operations, Metro-North which runs north into Connecticut from New York's Grand Central Terminal, and Long Island Rail Road.
Currently, MTA has funding to call off a firm order for 92 vehicles for LIRR; these would be delivered from 2017. MTA is set to request funding to purchase the remaining 584 vehicles when it submits its 2015-19 Capital Plan next year.
The M-9 would be an evolution of the recent M-7 and M-8 EMUs now in traffic on LIRR and Metro-North respectively. The M-9 would be capable of operation from 750 V DC third rail used on LIRR and at the southern end of the Metro-North network, plus the 11 kV 25 Hz and 25 kV 60 Hz overhead power supplies used on the Northeast Corridor.
MTA expects the M-9 to feature a range of design modifications based on feedback on recently-procured vehicles, including enhanced passenger information and air-conditioning equipment. MTA is also reported to be evaluating the installation of onboard wi-fi. The car body is expected to be approximately 50 mm wider to give a more generous middle seat in a 2+3 arrangement.
The first tranche of EMUs to replace LIRR's oldest M-3 trainsets, but subsequent orders are likely to be used to increase the fleet size ahead of the introduction of LIRR services to Grand Central under the East Side Access project, now scheduled to open in 2019.

Slowly going from Coral to Lavender
5 Comments
When you ran this by us the first time, I wasn't sold. I am now, though. By contrast, the coral is much too loud and obnoxious. Lavender is much more elegant and refined. It pulls the other colors together a little better.
You definitely need a period porch ceiling fixture. You know, one of those pretty cast iron, leafy numbers with a cylinder shade 😉
Ooh, the more you paint, the more I see the difference. I like that you're always thinking and adjusting and playing with the colors. It gives me permission to do the same thing in my house, rather than feeling stuck and afraid to start until everything is perfect in what I'm envisioning. I hope that's in the Design God book.
I like the lavender better as well. Although it looks like terra cotta to me. Maybe it's just the lighting. Either way, I like it.

If we're going to tackle stigma in the community around mental illness one of the most fundamental vehicles of change is to modify how we speak about it. Entrenched and outdated attitudes towards mental illness are revealed by the words we choose. It's often only a few turns of phrase here and there, but many people unintentionally use language that undermines a person living with mental illness, using words with negative connotations that demeans their experience and creates barriers to recovery.
Global Change is Needed
By changing the language surrounding mental illness we can begin to promote hope, rather than defining a person, or group of people, by a diagnosis.
This change is not just for carers or support workers. It also needs to translate across the broader community, finding its way into our schools, public and private organisations and particularly, our popular media. We are so used to hearing and reading subtly prejudiced language in our news that most of us don't realise the impact it has on preventing positive attitudes and unbiased thinking. The Mental Health Coordinating Council has developed a Recovery Orientated Language Guide to encourage a switch in mindset around addressing mental illness. It offers alternative language to replace widely used phraseology that is not always conducive to recovery based practice.
Language Matters When Talking About Mental Illness
Some of their suggestions can be used by the wider community to support a more positive approach to mental illness.
- Try not to use sensationalised language such as "suffers from", "is a victim of" or "is afflicted with a mental illness." Instead, use more ordinary expressions such as "lives with mental illness" or "has a mental illness"
- Don't say "he is mentally ill." Instead, say "he lives with a mental illness."
- Try not to define someone by their diagnosis by saying for example: "She is an anorexic." Choose instead to separate the person from their illness by saying "She has experienced anorexia"
- Rather than calling someone an addict, you could acknowledge that they have substance use/abuse issues without labelling them.
- When addressing the subject of suicide, remember that suicide is not a crime. Common terms such as 'committed suicide 'or 'failed attempt at suicide' place blame and can seem accusatory. Try instead to use less sensationalised language.
Remember – language is powerful. Whilst these changes in the words we use may seem small, they serve to lessen the stigma and sensationalism surrounding mental illness. Being more mindful of the language we use when addressing and describing mental illness goes a long way to break down stereotypes and promote a more aware and informed community.
