sure. You may use as many gateways in a single instance of fhem as the machine is capable to service in terms of cpu, ram and filehandles. What does not work is to use multiple gateways for the very same sensors to archive higher avaiability (or redundancy), so it would be beneficial to use different channels for each gateway to lessen cpu-load on the gateways ans save bandwith on the connection to fhem. If all sensors and gateways share the same channel you will have to assign each sensor to the gateway that suits best (e.g. is positioned with the least distance to the sensor) - fhem will just ignore messages for a gateway a sensor is not assigned to (if not in inclusion-mode).

The Antwerp Port Authority opened this weekend the visitors' centre at the Port Pavilion at the foot of the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS). The main attraction of the Pavilion is a 6-metre wide aerial image of the port on the floor. Visitors can see for themselves just how extensive the port is, particularly in comparison with the Antwerp downtown area, by just walking on top of the illuminated floor.
Aerodata provided the authority with this orthophoto mosaic. The images were acquired at a flying height of 5000m (16400 ft, 15cm GSD) with one of Aerodata's VisionMap A³ camera systems in the spring of 2010. The captured area extends the port of Antwerp and goes southwards all the way to the city of Mechelen, which city services also make use of this unique dataset

In the latest issue of TIME, an article entitled "Violent Crackdown Shatters Democracy Hopes in Guinea" details the recent events that shook Guinea, and concludes that "for Guineans weary of being ruled by dictators, the promise of life in a free democracy may yet be a far-fetched dream."
Yahoo news recycled the TIME story and headline, suggesting – it seems – that the violent military response to the pro-democracy demonstration in the capital, Conakry, on Sept. 28 signals that democracy is no longer an achievable objective for Guinea.
Granted, the events of this past Monday were particularly disturbing. According to opposition leader Jean Marie Doré, who was leading the rally, military officers appeared in the stadium with machine guns and batons, and began shooting and beating rally participants. Former prime minister and opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo suffered broken ribs and other injuries, and will be traveling to France for medical care.
In addition to specifically targeting the political opposition to Captain Dadis Camara – the military junta leader who took power through a bloodless coup in December 2008 – the violence committed by the Red Berets (the Guinean presidential guard, btw) wounded an estimated 1,200 and left 157 for dead. Human rights activists and journalists on the ground reported instances of vicious public rapes, use of bayonets and indiscriminate violence.
It seems *highly* unlikely that, as Camara claims, he had no way of preventing this from happening – that this was the work of rogue elements. Coming from a particularly cunning military general who took power through a coup not even a year ago, I don't buy it. It would also seem unlikely that this elite group of officers, the Red Bérets (who, let me repeat, are the presidential guard) are not controlled by Camara. Regardless of whether the military junta leader had an explicit hand in this, Camara must still to be held accountable for the actions of his officers.
Guinea has not known one single day of non-dictatorship since its independence from France in 1958. Following nearly three decades of a ruthless dictatorship headed by Ahmed Sékou Touré, Lt. Lansana Conté took power in 1984, one week after Touré's death. Conté remained in power until he died in December 2008. Within hours of his death, Captain Dadis Camara overthrew the constitution and declared himself head of state – pretty much exactly the same way Conté took power from Touré. Um.
And Guinea is a "geological scandal", a country endowed with vast natural resources, including a third of all known reserves of bauxite (the ore used to make aluminum), high-grade iron ore, significant diamond and gold deposits, as well as undetermined quantities of uranium. Guinea also has the potential for hydropower generation. Just last year, China offered Guinea a $1 billion "mining-for-infrastructure" deal under which China would build a hydropower dam in return for mining rights in the country.
Joint ventures between the government and foreign firms in bauxite mining and alumina operations in the north western part of the country have historically contributed about 80% of Guinea's foreign exchange, 20% of Guinea's GDP and up to 90% of its exports.
Corinne Dufka of Human Rights Watch noted: "[Camara] is a strongman, and strongmen tend to be immune to outside pressure." True – particularly as this strong man sits atop massive amounts of mineral reserves, the revenues from which have allowed him and his predecessors remain unscathed by sanctions and lack of aid from Western nations or entities like the African Union or ECOWAS. Of course, at the same time, Guinea has consistently ranked among the lowest countries in the Human Development Index (most recently 167th of 179), as the wealth generated by mining revenues never translated into better livelihoods for Guineans. Africa analyst Paul Melly noted that Guinea's former ruler, Lansana Conté, survived years of aid suspension from the EU without caving in to demands for political reform.
One of Camara's weaknesses may be the country's reliance on outside investors and foreign firms for natural resource extraction. Government revenues from mineral exports are slated to decrease dramatically next year – by an expected 60% – putting public finances under strain.
Senegal — whose President Wade only weeks ago referred to Camara as his spiritual son and has supported him since he came to power as a "a pure young man who wants to do good and has no political ambition" — issued a stiff condemnation of the violence in Guinea.
These facts, as well as the general strike and popular uprising in 2007, which while it left at least 110 people dead, was a clear demonstration of Guineans' desire for a more representative, more democratic leadership. The vigor and legitimacy of the political opposition also make me think that hope is not "shattered", as the TIME story would have it, for democracy in Guinea.
Indeed, we shouldn't give up hope for them. The political opposition chose the location of their Step. 28 rally in a symbolic place: the stadium, the epicenter of the violence that day, is named Stade du 28 Septembre. On Sept. 28 1958, Guinea, along with all of France's other colonies, voted in a referendum held by General Charles de Gaulle to determine whether they would remain a colony. Guinea was the only one that voted overwhelmingly for independence, and thus became the first colony to break free from France (immediately losing all direct French assistance in the process.)
That's an act of collective bravery – choosing to free your country from illegitimate control, in spite of the short term political and economic costs. I remain hopeful that Guinea will emerge from this dark period of their history.
We will see whether Camara keeps his word of holding elections in January 2010. A major reason why Guineans hailed him when he initially took power last December was his promise of holding free and fair elections in the country. The African Union threatened sanctions earlier in September should Camara run in the election, and the international community is also expecting him to fulfill his commitment to democratization.
As the country strives to establish a political culture that works for it, it will hopefully also find ways to harness the incredible wealth it sits on to improve the livelihoods of its citizens.

Want to know how new digital technologies and innovative approaches to learning are changing the face of education? One way is to follow the Office of Digital Learning's seminar series, xTalk. You can begin with this excerpt of an xTalk by Sanjoy Mahajan, MIT visiting associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, reported by undergraduate Yuliya Klochan '18:
If you've been to a high school math class recently, you probably remember seeing an inordinate number of calculators. You might've also observed students entering anything from 999*999 to sin(π/6) to (7-1) into the machines. The calculator habit is so strong that even 5+7 (=12) warrants machine help. And habits die hard.
To combat our calculator obsession, Sanjoy Mahajan suggests a radical departure from the calculator addiction: What if we knew the solution BEFORE the calculation? In Prof Mahajan's words, "Never calculate without already knowing the answer!" Sounds bizarre, but let him explain, and you will be intrigued.
Sanjoy Mahajan sees a general trend of pragmatism in the United States, with students wishing to just solve the problem without asking the essential how or why. Science problems then become nothing more than a repeated and calculator-assisted application of a single formula. Unfortunately, even the most complex formulas can be wrong. Calculators can't reveal that, but a better understanding, or insight, of the material can. In his May 19 xTALK, the Art of Insight, Prof Mahajan used several examples to illustrate the benefits to getting to the solution before reaching for a calculator.
EXAMPLE #1: consider being in a room with a paper towel freshly sprayed with perfume (as during Prof. Mahajan's talk). The question: how long does it take for all audience members to smell the aroma?
Formal Model: Formally, the answer to that , is derived with a diffusion equation which, according to Prof. Mahajan, is a "big mess" that requires knowledge of calculus. Furthermore, the solved equation tells us that is seconds, or approximately ⅓ a year, while, in real life, the back rows smelled the perfume after 30 or so seconds! The official, calculator-enabled model for the problem is way off. Despite the complexity, it fails to provide a reasonable answer.
Insight: Add to the consideration a four-letter word: wind. With wind, or drift, you can start taking much bigger, though slower, steps to a solution instead of the small and fast steps of the diffusion model. This common-sense model has the benefit of search control: making search space much more tractable by expanding it.
See the full article for more examples.
Let's recap now to consider all the benefits of reasoning, rather than calculating, the solution.
- Search control (making search space much more tractable by expanding it). Main example: perfume diffusion.
- Transfer (to other problems). Main example: perfume diffusion.
- Use of the (larger) visual cortex. Main example: solar flux.
- Robustness. Main example: solar flux.
- Low entropy/low cognitive load. Main example: well height.
Although I noted the main examples here, the five properties can be applied to all three problems. This is our homework, according to Prof Mahajan. How will the art of insight help YOU?

Achilles tendinitis is one of the more common causes of heel pain and many people describe it as pain in the back of the heel. Since this condition is a form of tendinitis, patients mostly notice that the back of their heel is inflamed. The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in your body. It is also one of the most important and most used parts of the body. It is essential for walking, running, jumping or even just an extension of the foot. It is for this reason that Achilles tendinitis can affect anyone who is constantly putting stress on his or her foot. Athletes are particularly at risk.
There are a number of causes and risk factors associated with Achilles Tendinitis. One of the most common causes is simply a lack of conditioning. If the tendon, and muscles that connect to the tendon, have not been trained or conditioned, this can lead to a weakness that may result in an Achilles injury. Overtraining is also associated with Achilles Tendinitis. Doing too much, too soon places excessive strain on the Achilles tendon and doesn't allow the tendon enough time to recovery properly. Over time small tears and general degeneration result in a weakening of the tendon, which leads to inflammation and pain. Other causes of Achilles injury include a lack of warming up and stretching. Wearing inadequate footwear, running or training on uneven ground, and simply standing on, or in something you're not meant to. Biomechanical problems such as high arched feet or flat feet can also lead to Achilles injuries.
Achilles tendinitis symptoms present as mild to severe pain or swelling near the ankle. The pain may lead to weakness and decreased mobility, symptoms that increase gradually while walking or running. Over time, the pain worsens, and stiffness in the tendon may be noted in the morning. Mild activity may provide relief. Physical exam may reveal an audible cracking sound when the Achilles tendon is palpated. The lower leg may exhibit weakness. A ruptured or torn Achilles tendon is severely painful and warrants immediate medical attention. The signs of a ruptured or torn Achilles tendon include. Acute, excruciating pain. Impaired mobility, unable to point the foot downward or walk on the toes. Weight bearing or walking on the affected side is not possible.
When diagnosing Achilles tendinitis, a doctor will ask the patient a few questions about their symptoms and then perform a physical examination. To perform a physical exam on the Achilles tendon, the doctor will lightly touch around the back of the ankle and tendon to locate the source of the pain or inflammation. They will also test the foot and ankle to see if their range of motion and flexibility has been impaired. The doctor might also order an imaging test to be done on the tendon. This will aid in the elimination of other possible causes of pain and swelling, and may help the doctor assess the level of damage (if any) that has been done to the tendon. Types of imaging tests that could be used for diagnosing Achilles tendinitis are MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging), X-ray, Ultrasound.
Nonsurgical Treatment
Use the R.I.C.E method of treatment when you first notice the pain. Although rest is a key part of treating tendonitis, prolonged inactivity can cause stiffness in your joints. Move the injured ankle through its full range of motion and perform gentle calf and ankle stretches to maintain flexibility. If self-care doesn't work, it's important to get the injury treated because if the tendon continues to sustain small tears through movement, it can rupture under excessive stress. Your doctor may suggest a temporary foot insert that elevates your heel and may relieve strain on the tendon. Other possible treatments include special heel pads or cups to wear in your shoes to cushion and support your heel, or a splint to wear at night. Physical therapy may also help allow the tendon to heal and repair itself over a period of weeks.
Surgical Treatment
Not every Achilles tendon injury or condition requires surgery. It is generally understood by doctors and surgeons, that surgery will introduce more scar tissue into the Achilles tendon. This added scar tissue will be problematic, requiring physical therapy and conservative treatment options post-surgery. If not dealt with properly, your ankle and Achilles tendon could end up in worse condition than before the surgery! This is why surgery is only performed as a last resort.
To lower your risk of Achilles tendonitis, stretch your calf muscles. Stretching at the beginning of each day will improve your agility and make you less prone to injury. You should also try to stretch both before and after workouts. To stretch your Achilles, stand with a straight leg, and lean forward as you keep your heel on the ground. If this is painful, be sure to check with a doctor. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. Whenever you begin a new fitness regimen, it is a good idea to set incremental goals. Gradually intensifying your physical activity is less likely to cause injury. Limiting sudden movements that jolt the heels and calves also helps to reduce the risk of Achilles tendonitis. Try combining both high- and low-impact exercises in your workouts to reduce stress on the tendon. For example, playing basketball can be combined with swimming. It doesn?t matter if you?re walking, running, or just hanging out. To decrease pressure on your calves and Achilles tendon, it?s important to always wear the right shoes. That means choosing shoes with proper cushioning and arch support. If you?ve worn a pair of shoes for a long time, consider replacing them or using arch supports. Some women feel pain in the Achilles tendon when switching from high heels to flats. Daily wearing of high heels can both tighten and shorten the Achilles tendon. Wearing flats causes additional bending in the foot. This can be painful for the high-heel wearer who is not accustomed to the resulting flexion. One effective strategy is to reduce the heel size of shoes gradually. This allows the tendon to slowly stretch and increase its range of motion.

Norwich woman says Harvard 'shamelessly' profits from her slave ancestors' photos
Norwich resident Tamara Lanier claims that Harvard University has "shamelessly" profited from iconic images of two 19th century slaves who she says are her ancestors.
In a lawsuit filed in Massachusetts state court Wednesday, Lanier says Harvard has ignored her requests to turn over the photos. She asks the university to relinquish them to her as the rightful owner, and pay unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and legal fees. She is being represented by law firms in Boston, Bridgeport, New York and Tallahassee, Fla.
Lanier, a retired Connecticut chief probation officer, claims she is suing Harvard "for its wrongful seizure, possession and expropriation of photographic images of the patriarch of her family — a man known as Renty — and his daughter, Delia, both of whom were enslaved in South Carolina."
A Harvard spokesman said in an email response Wednesday afternoon: "The University has not yet been served, and with that, is in no position to comment on this lawsuit filing."
Lanier said in a telephone interview with The Day on Wednesday evening, following a news conference in New Yok City, that the story of both her family's history and Harvard's role in perpetuating stereotypes and debunked myths of African-Americans' heritage "is just so encompassing." She said she is trying to get Harvard to recognize and embrace the story that has been in her family for 160 years.
"It involves so much," Lanier said of the lawsuit. "I think this complaint will force this country to re-evaluate history, because so much is left to be told about Harvard and its complicity and (Harvard researcher Louis) Agassiz and his hate-science that has been reflected all over the world."
Lanier claims the images were commissioned in 1850 by Agassiz, Harvard's leading scientist, "as part of his quest to 'prove' black people's inherent biological inferiority and thereby justify their subjugation, exploitation and segregation."
Renty and Delia were stripped naked and forced to pose for the daguerreotype images "without consent, dignity, or compensation," the suit claims. She blamed Harvard, which she said "elevated" Agassiz to high positions and supported him "as he promoted and legitimized the poisonous myth of white superiority."
The suit claims that Harvard discovered the daguerreotypes in 1976 and realized their value as the earliest known photographs of slaves and "commenced a decades-long campaign to sanitize the history of the images and exploit them for prestige and profit." She claims Harvard requires contracts and a "hefty licensing fee" to anyone wishing to use the images and threatens lawsuits for use of the images without permission.
"In other words," Lanier states, "Harvard, the wealthiest university in the world with an endowment of $40 billion, has seen fit to further enrich itself from images that only exist because a Harvard professor forced human beings to participate in their creation without consent, dignity or compensation."
The suit is divided into five parts that recount the history of Agassiz's rise through the scientific community at Harvard, Lanier's connection to Renty and Delia, and what she calls "An Opportunity for Harvard."
Agassiz embraced polygenism, the theory that racial groups derived from different origins and thus are "categorically distinct," the suit explains, along with the establishment by Harvard of a scientific school and Agassiz's appointment to the school. Polygenism was rebuked a decade later by Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species," the suit said, but Harvard continued to support Agassiz.
Agassiz in 1850 visited several South Carolina plantations seeking slaves to be photographed using the new technology, and Renty and Delia were among the group, Lanier claims.
"To Agassiz, Renty and Delia were nothing more than research specimens," Lanier's suit says. "The violence of compelling them to participate in a degrading exercise designed to prove their own subhuman status would not have occurred to him, let alone mattered."
Lanier recounts stories her mother, Mattye Thompson-Lanier, told of Renty Taylor, whom she called "Papa Renty" — a strong-willed South Carolina slave who had taught himself and others to read using a copy of Noah Webster's famed children's spelling book. The surname Taylor was his master's last name, a common practice, the suit said.
Renty's grandson, Renty Taylor III, was transferred to a plantation in Alabama and had nine children, including Lanier's grandfather. Lanier writes that after her mother died in 2010, she embarked on a tedious genealogical project to uncover details of her ancestors, which led her to the daguerreotypes at Harvard.
"Harvard cannot unlive its history," Lanier writes in the suit. "But it could have chosen to face it with courage and honesty; and it could have tried to repair some of the damage inflicted in its name."
The suit says a Harvard Peabody Museum researcher "stumbled" across the daguerreotypes of Renty and Delia, which made national headlines as the earliest known photographs of slaves. Harvard made no attempt to locate descendants, the suit says. And the university continues to profit from its ownership of the photos.
Lanier claims Harvard has refused to respond to her claims of ancestry with Renty and Delia, and after she was interviewed in 2016 for a story in the Crimson, Harvard's student newspaper, she received a call from the editor that the story had been "killed" due to "concerns the Peabody Museum has raised," the suit says.
In 2017, Harvard used the image of Renty on the cover of a 30th anniversary edition of the $40 book "From Site to Sight: Anthropology, Photography and the Power of Imagery."
The suit says Lanier attended a 2017 conference hosted by Harvard on universities' connections to slavery that included Renty's image projected on a large screen and used on the program's cover, with a statement describing it as an image associated with scientific research Lanier calls "dishonest" and "manipulative."
On Oct. 27, 2017, Lanier wrote to Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust explaining her research that confirmed her as Renty's and Delia's descendant, and formally requested the daguerreotypes be "immediately relinquished" to her. She writes in the lawsuit that Harvard's response was "nonresponsive and deceptive."
The suit claims Lanier is the rightful owner of the daguerreotypes and that Harvard's ownership was "acquired through fraud and/or other misconduct." The suit seeks unspecified compensatory damages "for emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety and other emotional pain and suffering," punitive damages and legal fees.

A sleek new hotel restaurant and bar has opened its doors in SoMa. Called Commons Club, the fresh arrival is located at 250 Fourth St. (between Howard and Folsom streets), on the ground floor of the brand-new, 200-room Virgin Hotel.
Commons Club is the first of three eateries planned for the hotel. According to Eater SF, an on-site coffee shop, Funny Library, will open there later this month, serving snacks, baked goods and coffee from roaster Laughing Man (co-owned by actor Hugh Jackman). A rooftop bar, Everdene, will also debut later this year.
In the meantime, Commons Club is serving up "modern Californian" cuisine from chef Adrian Garcia, an alum of Quince and Benu. Daytime eats include a "Full English" breakfast with country ham, baked beans and a Chino Farm egg; an albacore tartare tostada with avocado, caper and preserved lemon; or the Uncommon Burger, with oven-dried tomato, bacon jam and aged white cheddar. (View the full menu here.)
On the dinner menu, anticipate dishes like caviar bites with brioche, cauliflower and Meyer lemon; tortelloni with wild mushrooms and Swiss chard; and a New York strip steak served over potato puree and spring onions.
The new restaurant has gotten an enthusiastic response thus far, with a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp.
Bianca G., who reviewed the new spot on February 24, wrote, "What an incredible surprise coming here for dinner and having a phenomenal evening! Foodies, if you love Quince, then expect the same level of awesomeness on the plates, because executive chef Adrian Garcia is in the house."
"Sitting at the private room, surrounded by friends by the fireplace, feels like home," added Yelper Paul V. "Classy, hot bar."
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Commons Club's restaurant is open from 7–10:30 a.m., 11 a.m.–3 p.m. and 5:30–9 p.m. daily, and its bar hours are 11:30 a.m.–9 p.m. daily.

Beaver Creek
Nestled among the rice fields of southwest Jonesboro, this family-centric neighborhood is a great area for young families.
Level, low-maintenance lots add to the appeal of three- and four-bedroom homes, and the low-traffic area is great for children playing and riding their bikes.

I have read more than a few books on writing style: Strunk's Elements of Style, Bernstein's The Careful Writer, and The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage are a few that spring to mind immediately.
Perverse though it may be, I have enjoyed these books, and will sometimes pull one or another down from the bookshelf just for pleasure. Even though my own writing cannot live up to the lofty standards of these guides, I have an appreciation for order and rule, and probably most especially for nuance (Bernstein is one of the best in that regard, I think).
With such predisposition, it was only natural that this book caught my eye. At first skim, I was hesitant: it's thin, and there is a lot of white space. But as I focused in more deeply, I realized that this really isn't quite in the same category as Elements of Style, etc. Oh, there's some basic advice about active voice and the other expected cautions, but most of this is advice on specific writing tasks: manuals, proposals, emails, even web pages. The advice is excellent, by the way, and Barry himself writes very well with a smooth, enjoyable and humorous style.
Don't assume that this is only of value to technical writers: if you send email to your boss or subordinates, if you prepare proposals for customers or board meetings, if you write web pages or create Power Point slides for a presentation, you'll find value here.
Got something to add? Send me email.

Film Premiere - Eastbound with Jenny Graham presented by Shand Cycles
We're delighted to host the World Film Premiere of 'Eastbound'
'Eastbound' follows the incredible endurance cyclist Jenny Graham on her round-the-world by bike record trip, including a Q&A with Jenny.
About Jenny Graham
Jenny is a 37-year-old endurance cyclist from the Scottish Highlands.
As a young mum she came late to long-distance cycling. But a lifetime teaching others in outdoor environments prepared her well for the resilience, self-reliance and physical hardship that these challenges entail.
In 2015 she raced The Highland Trail 550 for the first time, and realised that life would never be the same again. She spent the next three years developing her considerable aptitude in long-distance self-supported bike racing, completing challenges such as the Cairngorm Loop, the Arizona Trail Race and a four-day winter LEJOG. She soon found herself asking the question:
"Yeah, but I wonder how far I could actually go…"
In 2018 she found out when she broke the current women's record by more than two weeks. Jenny rode more than 18,000 miles fully self supported in just under 124 days!
*Special Festival offer – love cycling? Purchase a ticket to watch Eastbound alongside a ticket to our new Rapha Road Bike Session and receive 10% off both tickets! Discount will be applied at checkout.

Find the Best Accommodation Deals
Many travellers are searching for Things To Do Near Millennium Hilton Bangkok,Bangkok can well be described as a city of humble beginnings. In fact around 200 years ago, it was simply a small trading center and port community. Despite the fact that the city had grown rapidly and become renowned for being a modern and vibrant place, it has impressively retained its splendid and enchanting glory. That's why a visit to Bangkok should be on everyone's bucket list. You can find Things To Do Near Millennium Hilton Bangkok travel information.

Things To Do Near Millennium Hilton Bangkok, Wat Pho
Otherwise known as Wat Chetuphon, this can be a temple which had been developed for King Rama in Bangkok countless in the past. It can be regarded as a location where people can receive feelings, and was considered among the first pharmacies in all of Bangkok. It is also the location of the first university that was started with a descendent of King Rama, a place where you can now get not merely traditional medicine but a foot massage at highly affordable prices. It is known mostly for your Temple of the Reclining Buddha that is a Buddha that is laying perched on his arm. It really is enormous, roughly 15 m high by 45 m long, and will simply be viewed in sections due to its size. There are several beautiful precious stones which have been in lead within the soles in the feet, an absolute quantity of 108 stones total. It is a number associated with procession, the wobble of your earth, a thing that is created into most of the temples throughout Thailand.
The Grand Palace
It is an absolutely beautiful structure which has a substantial amount of history, and is also the home of what is called Wat Phra Kaeo. It can be here the emerald or jade Buddha are available, within this palace built-in 1782, the residence in the royalty that were responsible for the continent back then. This palace includes 2 hours of not only the palace itself but also the Wat Phra Kaew Tour. Our recommendation is that you begin early in the morning to benefit from everything that you will be capable of seeing, or simply do a half day sightseeing tour to view either one.
Wat Arun
You will notice a lovely representation of your ancient battles that utilized to occur between Burma and Siam. This is really a mix of Royal Palace and Chapel, and if you can to climb to the top level just before sunset, you will notice sunlight setting in to the Chao Praya River, a lovely sight to behold.
The Giant Swing
Before precisely what is called Wat Suthat is the thing that the locals call the giant swing. It is a 27 m high structure, use for religious ceremonies, and its particular purpose is to go through a ritual which involves groups of three people coming to the top and walking across for the narrow board. There were a substantial amount of fatal accidents in the 1930s which make them not use this as being a ritual ever again. However, it really is a beautiful sight to view, especially before Wat Suthat.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
This can be literally something out from the movies, an actual floating market which is about an hour or so beyond Bangkok. It really is considered by some to become the Venice of your East, similar to just how the people that a part of Italy do so several things in the water. Also, it is a tourist trap due to how everyone is wanting to see this market that may be completely floating on boats manned by people selling their goods. However, when you do go, you may be treated to many of the most delicious food that may be absolutely fresh, served within an authentic way.
Lumpini Park
If you have time, you are able to head over to Lumpini Park which is a literal oasis in the middle of the architecture and buildings of Bangkok. There are lots of lawns that you could spend time at, Chinese pagodas, and you will find a small lake you could have a boat out on. Is good for relaxing as the park is so tranquil, despite all of the skyscrapers which can be surrounding it in every directions. The park has been a place where antigovernment protests have occurred, so just be sure that if you decide to look there, it's just people hanging out to relax.
There are lots of things you could see in Bangkok, and they are the places that one could go that happen to be a bit out-of-the-way. You can visit the skyscrapers if you would like, and acquire a fantastic take a look at the area, however these places on earth are incredibly beautiful and gives you a flavor of how Bangkok perhaps once was before modernization.

NC Population Estimates Tell Different Stories for NC LEAs
Over the last few years there have been many comments about overcrowded K-12 classrooms and understaffed schools. Often observers tie these problems to North Carolina's growing population in ways that suggest the need for more funding for public schools. From 2004-05 to 2013-14, North Carolina's K-12 student population increased 7.2 percent, more than 97,000 students. Will those trends continue into the future?
Source: North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, Growth Analysis North Carolina, 2013[1]
Not if recent estimates from the Department of Public Instruction are correct. (See chart above.) Over the next decade, the total number of K-12 students in North Carolina will actually decline by almost 4,400 students, even when considering a significant increase in students the last two years. A review of population estimates suggests that not only does the overall population growth stop, but North Carolina's urban and rural population trends appear to be going in two different directions. According to the data only 32 of North Carolina's 100 counties are expected to have higher populations in 2023-24 than in 2013-14.
Such estimates have implications. First, the numbers make us realize that LEAs – like the students they seek to educate – are different. Most of the counties with declining enrollments are in rural areas, while LEAs with the greatest growth are primarily urban or suburban locations. Because education funding is tied largely to enrollment, budgets in many of the rural school districts will decline.
Second, growth patterns indicate that education dollars will continue to be funneled largely away from rural counties to the state's larger urban areas. Barring changes, school funding formulas will work to accelerate the disparities.
Third, if uniform populations argue for similar funding and spending formulas, isn't the converse true? Don't differences in school populations, staffing and resources argue for different rules and greater flexibility in how LEAs spend school dollars?
North Carolina's strong population growth is often mentioned as a reason why we must increase school funding. But North Carolina's era of continuous population growth appears to be over. In the next decade, the number of K-12 public school students is estimated to decline by more than 4,000 students. While some counties will continue to grow, approximately two-thirds of all North Carolina counties will decline in population over the next decade. An analysis of the demographic changes shows North Carolina is becoming a state with two types of LEAs: those that are growing and those that are in population decline. Wise public policy requires that we acknowledge differences, stop forcing districts into formulas that don't serve them well, and grant LEAs greater flexibility to educate their students.

This is the bridal couple from that Halloween Wedding I did on, well, Halloween last year.
I didn't get a chance to draw them at the party, so I drew them later, from photos. They had changed from their formal wedding attire into costumes, their theme being Saturday Night Fever.

Wedding + Halloween
Posted in Best work, Halloween, Wedding, tagged BeeGees, Bonnie and Clyde, Halloween, Homer Glen, penguin, Saturday Night Fever, Tutankhamen, wedding on December 17, 2015| 2 Comments »
This fabulous wedding was held on October 31st—Halloween–in a formal banquet hall in Homer Glen. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about the combination Wedding+Halloween, but all my doubts were dispelled the moment I walked into the high-ceiling room: black table clothes, black-covered banquet chairs with gleaming orange satin bows, orange spot lights running up the high walls. The bride and groom had changed from their formal, conventional wedding attire into Saturday Night Fever threads and did a lovely lead dance to the Bee-Gees. The guests were dressed UP in elegant theatrical costumes. I drew everything from Bonnie & Clyde to Tutankhamen to Cleopatra & Her Penguin Escort to an assortment of exquisitely painted sculls. Really, this was not a trick-or-treat crowd. People had flown in from the coasts and given a lot of thought to their presentation, and were willing to pay for it. So, lesson learned, if you know your friends and they're as imaginative as you are, go ahead, have a Halloween Wedding! Oh, and have me as the caricaturist.

Let's face it, all of October is about Halloween. This Halloween party in Western Springs was already on the first weekend of October. And what a production it was! How extravagant was it? Let us count the ways: a DJ under a wooden structure especially built for this day, outdoor tables & chairs for at least fifty (over a hundred came), a team caterers serving mountains of food, decorations floor to ceiling, a rodeo bouncy, an acrobat & fire eater, an expert magician, a Michael Jackson impersonator who did his stunning numbers in several costume changes and, of course, caricatures by me, wearing a pink witches hat. Truly spectacular. Thank you, Diana!

Fiona turned twelve. Mom was planning a small party for Fiona's closest friends. There would be good food and some games and what else. The party needed some focus. Ah! We have that caricature of Fiona framed in the family room. Who was that artist? Oh, the name is on the drawing and it's clear: "Hilden, 2009." Let's call her and see if she's still doing this. Oh, yes, more than ever! My drawings get framed and my name is out there. There are always new clients but I do get called back often.
Here's the drawing I did of Fiona when she was seven. This was a Halloween party at another child's house and she came as a bumblebee. I remembered! Love it!

Halloween in Huntley
Posted in Best work, celebration, Family party, Friends, Kids party, Therapy, tagged ambiance, family, Halloween, Huntley on November 6, 2012| Leave a Comment »
When I turn onto the street where my party is, I don't have to look for the house number. It's easy to find my place of work, it's where the balloons are. In the case of Halloween, I also look for the giant pumpkins and the femurs sticking out of the front lawn.
Halloween for this Huntley family was just one of many excuses to get together. That kind of family tradition makes for an gracious crowd, everybody being comfortable with everybody else. A jovial, relaxed atmosphere is obviously reflected in these pictures. The ambiance at a party naturally flows into my work. Thank you, Robert! May there be many more!

Smith Village is a retirement home on 113th Place. Very few of the residents dressed up in costumes, but the grand kids went all out. I admired their costumes which were worked out to great detail. What fun! The characters were all unique, only one princess, one vampire, one GI Joe,one mummy etc, and therefore everybody won a price for best in that category. Ingenious! Thank you, Joy.
Here are just a few of the kids I drew.—————–

Halloween: Musclemen and Princesses

This Halloween party was in NW Chicago. The small, tidy house was festooned with lights, spiders, cobwebs, skeletons and more spooky stuff than I can name. A vampire with glowing orange eyes sat up in his black satin coffin when you entered Evan's (age 6) bedroom. I worked in the younger boy's, Ethan's, room to draw the guests, all under ten and decked out in fabulous costumes, some hand made by nanas. You'll see a small sampling of the thirty kids I drew: astronauts, musclemen, kittens, princesses, and a strawberry short cake in a hot pink wig. Loved them all! Thank you, Carrie and Ryan!

Halloween in Romeoville
Posted in celebration, Family party, Kids party, tagged costumes, Halloween, kids, Romeoville on October 24, 2011| Leave a Comment »
A Halloween party is a good idea. The kids are inside and can really enjoy their costumes. When they go trick-or-treating it's often cold and they have to wear coats, what a bummer.
The Halloween party at the Wesglen Club House in Romeoville yesterday was a wonderful occasion for princesses, witches, vampires, a muscleman, a surgeon, a strawberry and any number of lavender fairies to strut their stuff and to stuff themselves with good food and sweets. Thank you, Maria!
I drew thirty-one people, mostly kids, and I'll show a small sample here.

Twitch wants you to keep in better touch with your friends.
The livestreaming site announced during the PAX East game convention in Boston today that it will introduce new social features for users, including a Friends List which can hold up to 500 names. This will give Twitch viewers an easier way to see which of their friends are online and easily send them Whispers (a direct message that shows up in any other chat window). Twitch has over 100 million viewers a month, and it has become a huge hub for the growing esports market since it easily allows fans to watch livestreams of tournaments for the most popular competitive games like League of Legends and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Twitch begins the beta test for these features today.
"Friends is the latest social feature in Twitch's ongoing effort to help gamers connect with one another," said Marcus Graham, director of programming, Twitch, in a press release sent to GamesBeat. "While Twitch has always been a great platform for broadcasters to connect with viewers, now viewers will be able to connect with each other too. Other social features include the recently launched Channel Feed, as well as Whispers and Party Chat. Because the community continues to flock to features that help create real connections, as exemplified by the 300 million whispers sent just since launch, we are continuing to make this a key focus."

In our previous posts, we emphasized how young women aged less than 55 years constitute a vulnerable population in the context of heart disease. Heart attack is among the leading causes of death kills over 15000 women in this age group each year. Even among those who survive, heart attacks kill young women much in excess of young men. It is likely that less awareness, delayed recognition of symptoms, delay in seeking care, delay in diagnosis by physicians and subsequently delay in treatment are all likely contributing to these healthcare disparities.
In a qualitative study of young women (30-55 years) getting hospitalized with heart attacks, researchers identified the following themes:
- Symptoms of heart attack varied in nature and duration between women and men.
- Young women often inaccurately characterized their own risk of heart disease and attributed their symptoms to non-cardiac causes.
- They delayed seeking care due to competing priorities. They also did not routinely access primary care, including preventive care of heart disease.
- They felt that the healthcare system was not responsive to them leading to delays in diagnosis.
In another study by the same group, analysis of data from 2,009 women and 976 men collected from more than 100 hospitals showed that the majority of both women and men reported chest pain, pressure, tightness, or discomfort as their main heart attack symptom. Yet women were more likely to report other associated symptoms of heart attack, such as indigestion, shortness of breath, palpitations, or pain in the jaw, neck, or arms. Women were also more likely to perceive their symptoms as stress or anxiety, and were more likely to report that their healthcare providers did not think that their symptoms were heart-related.
Other efforts at understanding these disparities include examining the role of the first electrocardiogram (ECG) obtained at the time of the heart attack. It has been found that the treatment gets much delayed when the first ECG is not obtained in the ambulance or when there are certain characteristics of ECG (often seen with high blood pressure) that lead to misdiagnosis of heart attack.
It is imperative to promote better knowledge about heart disease, improve preventive health care, and encourage prompt care-seeking behaviors to improve the epidemiology of heart disease in young women.

My personal list of my 10 favourite players in 2010:
10) John Terry: Strong for Chelsea and for England.
9) Michael Essien: Scored one of the best goals of the year against Barcelona in the CL and has been one of the best players in the PL. His has besides this also been an important part of Ghana's awesome Worle Cup qualifying side.
8) Didier Drogba: The world's best forward he has been strong for Chelsea and for Cote d'Ivoire's World Cup qualifiers.
7) Juan Sebastian Veron: I have always had my doubts about him, but he has had a rennaisance in Estudiantes de la Plata's winning side, and has returned to the Argentine national team where I hope he does better than he has done before.
6) Cristiano Ronaldo: Was hugely important in Manchester United's championship side, and has started well in Real Madrid, although his contribution to the Portuguese national team has been weaker.
5) Iker Casillas: In my view the undisputeable best goalkeeper in the world. Crucial for Real Madrid and for Spanish national team.
4) Kaka: Was extraordinary for Brazil, taking on the leadership role the team needs. He has also been strong when starting for Real Madrid.
3) Xavi: same as for Iniesta. I don't know which one is more important, but I enjoy Iniesta slightly more.
2) Andres Iniesta: Him and Xavi are the heart of Barcelona's awesome side.
1) Lionel Messi: the most beautiful and exciting to watch, he seems to be able to do everything, but is also modest and recognises the importance of the team around him. A true football star.

I know the top flag on Dylann Roof's jacket very well. I remember drawing it as a child, the orange at the top and the blue at the bottom (to represent the sun and the sea) in crayons of the same colours. I remember all of us, in my whites-only school, hanging the flags across the classroom.
I can't remember the specific occasion that called for children to draw the flag but I remember there was an occasion and we judged each other's flags in terms of accuracy and vibrancy of color. It was tough because it's a flag that contains three other flags.
I remember the flag flying over the playground and I remember watching military parades and I remember soldiers carefully raising, lowering and folding the flag. I remember watching rugby matches and the all-white spectators cheering on the all-white teams and I remember the bright orange and blue flag painted on their faces. But when I see it now, today, on the killer's jacket, it looks and feels like a swastika.
It was just always there.
It was just there as much as the black gardener and the black maid were, and still are, just there. There like the townships, there like the boardrooms, there like the gold and the platinum in the mines and the mines themselves and the miners who live, work and die in them. There like the racist language and the racist ideas that are occasionally spoken of, jokingly, in the comfort of a car with only white people in it, in your home, late at night after a few drinks, when no one is listening. Or, paradoxically, there like the slurs and passive/aggressive language, the saying and not saying, one discovers a close friend from high school using on Facebook -- in front of everyone he's ever met or worked with.
Some part of me likes to imagine everyone was evil in Nazi Germany -- that it was an entire nation of evil people doing evil things. The rational, logical part of me knows that isn't true but the emotional part of me desperately needs to believe there were overt evil actions on the part of everyday Germans. So I must wonder what other people in other countries think of me when they think of a white South African child in the '80s. I know for a fact, unless someone has tampered with my memory, that I, personally, never ever signed the acts and laws that legalized a system of hatred and oppression. There was no comical evilness, my eyebrows never narrowed into a "V" and there was no raging fire behind me as I laughed at the misfortune of black people. Life was straight forward and everything that was happening was simply, there.
I think the reason Lord of the Rings is a popular story, at least one of them, is because of the invading Ork army. Look at them and how evil they are. They have no redeeming qualities and we can point at them and say: They are fundementally evil and can be cut down. We have no reason to even question what they feel.
The same can be said for the zombie craze of the last few years. They are emotionless chaff to be mowed down without a second thought. This doesn't exist in the real world. We consciously or unconsciously know on some level that all our enemies, those that we would kill and those that would kill us, are human and feel human things. For them, everything is normal and evil is the word reserved for the other guy.
What I'm trying to say, is that growing up in Apartheid South Africa, everything was normal and everything was just there. And here is the nature of things that are just there: They are never questioned.
What else is around us right now, in our cars, in our homes and on facebook, that is simply, there?
What else is around us that would tacitly or implicitly give permission to someone to pick up a gun and kill nine people? What else is in our language, in our behavior, in our dealings with each other that would allow someone to believe that he could start a war and that when it began, there would be an entire army behind him of people who thought like him, acted like him and agreed with him?
All the signs, all the permission he ever needed was in a flag, in a sentence, in a supposedly harmless joke, in the privacy of a car, in a home late at night, in a status update.
All of it, was always just there.

dildos At closer inspection we found many colourful body fluids on our sheets, when asking for new ones we were refused fresh sheets and rudely told they were "clean". The hob did not work. The beds were creaky, broke without any force, and the mattress was uncomfortable, dirty, flea ridden and gave us all insect bites and rashes. dildos

Ohio has joined Colorado and Wyoming in issuing new regulations aimed at limiting the emission of methane gas from oil and natural gas operations to address climate change and health concerns. In development for more than a year, the revised Ohio rules are effective immediately and apply to high volume hydraulic fracturing, oil and gas well site production operations. The rules modify the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's general permitting process and include the following:
- Operators must now test and monitor for any fugitive emissions taking place at a well site on a quarterly basis.
- A leak detection and repair program must be developed and implemented. The program must be "designed to monitor and repair leaks from ancillary equipment and compressors covered by [the] permit, including each pump, compressor, pressure relief device, connector, valve, flange, vent cover, any bypass in the closed vent system, and each storage vessel."
- "Leaks shall be detected by the use of either a 'Forward Looking Infra-Red' (FLIR) camera or" other approved technology.
- The first attempt at repair of a leak must be made within five (5) calendar days of finding the leak. Full repairs must be completed within 30 days.
- Information must be recorded during leak inspections and these records must be kept for at least five (5) years.
- Permit Evaluation Reports must be filed annually with the Ohio EPA.
With continued public concerns, it is likely that other states, possibly Pennsylvania and New York, will follow the lead of Colorado, Wyoming and Ohio to regulate fugitive emissions. North Dakota recently approved flaring reduction regulations.
Federal rules are already in effect requiring the use of green completion technology at well sites beginning in 2015. These rules target emissions from compressors, oil storage tanks and other oil and gas equipment, with the exception of "wildcat wells." In March 2014, the White House released its "Climate Action Plan: Strategy to Reduce Methane Emissions" to target emissions from coal mines, landfills, agriculture and oil and gas activities.
As part of this plan, the Interior Department is to propose updated standards to reduce flaring and venting of methane gas. In addition, the EPA will be assessing several potentially significant sources of methane and other emissions and will be soliciting information from independent experts through a series of white papers.
In the fall of 2014, the EPA will decide how best to pursue further methane reductions; and, if necessary develop additional regulations by the end of 2016.
