Wide and Narrow Alleys:Vista to the Old Chengdu Memory
Authors: Go Chengdu
Wide and Narrow Alleys, a vista of historical elegance and local leisurely life, a melting pot of diversified cultural elements.
Wide and Narrow Alleys, a vista of historical elegance and local leisurely life, a melting pot of diversified cultural elements. The Wide and Narrow Alleys were first built during the Qing Dynasty as the residence for Manchurian soldiers. The lanes remained residential until 2003 when the local government turned the area into a cultural center consisting of many restaurants, teahouses, bars avant-garde galleries and residential houses.
Kuan and Zhai Alleys are manifestations of the past of Chengdu, a city that is both old and young.
Not from from the Wide and Narrow Alleys, across the Shudu Avenue, is another community of ancient buildings in the city downtown — the Qintai Road, lined with art galleries, jewellery shops and Hot Pot restaurants.
Huanhuaxi Park is the largest park within the downtown area of Chengdu, with lush vegetation, a large lake, a wetland and a number of pseudo-classic constructions. It is one of the city's best sites for birds watching and the long Path of Poems — a pavement with the citations of famous poems inscribed on the blue stone — extends from the entrance of the park almost to the gate of Du Fu Thatched House Museum.
Qingyang Temple (Green Goat Temple) is among the oldest and most well-known Taoist temples across China. In history, it was one of the major sites of festivals and folk culture activities for Chengdu people. The temple has treasured a collection of the oldest wooden printing blocks of the most important Taoist classic. The origin of the Quingyang Temple dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) but most of the temple's remaining buildings are restorations during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and more specifically during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the 17th century. Within a short radius of the temple are a number of cultural sites of the city, including the Baihuatan Park, the Cultural Park and Songxianqiao Antique Market.

Bending kickstarter
Ever since I build the hybrid, the kickstarter has always touched the frame. A little hard to tell in this picture, but it touches. It has never caused a problem or vibrated enough to cause noise. But none the less, I've always wanted to take care of it.

I tried bending it in a vice once, but that kickstarter is pretty stout. Last year I bought a press for another project and now seemed like good time to put it to use again:

Another great read from Bob Major of Major, Lindsey & Africa – if you've ever asked yourself "Why didn't I get a job interview"?, this piece has some answers:
"As a recruiter, I have advised countless lawyers (and would-be attorneys) on their career. There are many satisfying elements to my job, particularly when I match the perfect candidate with the perfect job. However, as I tell my recruiters, perfection is found in neither; only God and beer are perfect. The most unappetizing part of my job is breaking bad news to a candidate who clearly wants a job that I'm charged with filling, and, even more distressing, feels that they are an exact match for the position. How do candidates come to this high expectation?"

Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks has been suspended one game without pay and fined $25,000 for entering the officials' locker room after Saturday's Game 4 of the first-round series with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Marks will serve the suspension on Tuesday when the Nets visit the 76ers in Game 5.
The announcement by Byron Spruell, president of NBA league operations, didn't divulge what occurred after Marks entered the room following Brooklyn's 112-108 loss. But the contest was emotionally charged and included a ruckus in which Jared Dudley of the Nets and Jimmy Butler of the 76ers were ejected.
Nets coach Kenny Atkinson was upset following the contest that there wasn't a call on Philadelphia's Tobias Harris for grabbing Brooklyn's Jarrett Allen with 4.8 seconds left in regulation as his club looked for a tying or winning shot while trailing by two.
"There was a clear wrap by Tobias Harris on the roll," Atkinson said in the postgame press conference, pointing out the league cited an emphasis on such fouls were to be called. "How that all of a sudden does not become a foul on a wrap, I just don't understand. I looked at the clip 10 times, it's a clear wrap."
On Sunday, the NBA agreed with Atkinson's contention, acknowledging that Harris should have been called for fouling Allen.
The league's Last Two Minute Report also said Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie should have been called for a carry. Brooklyn finished that possession with a 3-pointer by D'Angelo Russell, after Dinwiddie missed a layup and Allen grabbed an offensive rebound.
The league also announced fines of $25,000 for Dudley and $15,000 for Butler for their roles in escalating the third-quarter fracas, which spilled into the stands.
Philadelphia leads the best-of-seven series, 3-1.

These researchers have discovered the perfect password that's also easy to remember - The Washington Post
But two researchers at the University of Southern California may have finally come up with the perfect solution. Marjan Ghazvininejad and Kevin Knight of the University of Southern California have published a paper with a novel solution for creating with passwords that are both extremely hard to crack and relatively easy to remember: randomly-generated poems.
It makes sense. If you're like me you use your internet browser's password manager or a third party password manager and use "smash your hand on the keyboard" passwords like KI4lO29I4mznc821ER which are quite secure, but unless you are an idiot savant you're not going to remember half a dozen or more of them. But even if you used something far more simple like "Usain Bolt is fast but He cannot run to the Past", which is 38 characters without spaces, on every site, pretty much every hacker would skip yours and go to one of the thousands of people who use 1234, password, or something easily as guessed.
The article has a link to their example generator, and these are some that it comes up with

The Future of Work: How Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence Are Changing the Jobsite
Technology such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence — the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters a generation ago — is now a reality.
And it's changing the way whole industries do business. Even doctors and teachers are finding applications for VR in their everyday work.
The same goes for construction sites, mines and landfills. Worksites around the world are getting increasingly smarter, safer and more efficient thanks to things like simulated work environments and machine learning.
But there are still roadblocks to this new way of working.
Let's take a look at what virtual reality and artificial intelligence are doing for worksites today, and what needs to happen for these technologies to become everyday tools for people who work at mines or landfills.
Virtual Reality Saves Time, Money and Lives by Simulating Tasks
Professionals in a wide variety of industries are discovering the benefits of being able to simulate their work environments. In those realities, you can build models and test a near-infinite number of outcomes — and at very little cost to your bottom line.
VR can also model future realities as well as current realities. This creates some exciting opportunities for worksite engineers. As Peter J. Barden, AIA, NCARB, writes at Construction Superintendent, four-dimensional modeling (a 3-D model plus time) brings new layers of intelligence to the way industry professionals schedule work and anticipate risks.
"[This] will allow superintendents to step into the future of their project and understand requirements and pitfalls long before they occur, while also affording the construction team the ability to ensure the construction schedule is being maintained through the review of installed components and comparing those items to the 4-D model."
And at mining sites, VR is creating collaborative environments that can feel as big as the mining site itself, says Russ Alford, general manager of medical equipment planning and management, Turner Construction.
"You'll see two-wall caves so teams can collaborate in real scale and real time without having to leave the trailer," he tells Construction Dive. "We want to have those caves on every site if we can. More than anything else, it will be the tool to change collaboration on the job site and enable a level of communication that will get much more detailed."
One other great feature of a simulated environment: You cannot get injured in one.
Wilhelm Prinsloo, managing director at Simulated Training Solutions 3D in South Africa, tells Mining Weekly that this makes it possible for mining executives to virtually go down into their mines to get a better idea of what hazards their employees face so they can make the changes necessary to improve work conditions.
Augmented Reality Offers Real-Time Support for Workers
A cousin of virtual reality, augmented reality encompasses all of the technologies that overlay interactive digital information on top of our fields of perception (think Google Glass).
This has exciting applications in equipment maintenance.
In Europe, researchers working on a project called EMIMSAR developed an augmented reality tool that allows miners to work on machinery underground, where space and visibility are limited.
"Miners can view 'augmented reality' versions of their equipment on handheld computers and helmet-mounted displays," project leaders write. "They can move through images of the machine and its components, call up data on the history and present condition of the machine, or be guided on how to repair or maintain components."
This lets miners see real-time visualizations of the machinery as they're working on it, and there are even voiceovers that provide step-by-step instructions. The project was so successful that Germany's largest coal mining company, RAG, adopted it to plan maintenance on its long wall equipment, belt conveyors and loaders, Julian Turner writes at Mining-Technology.com.
And at CSC, researchers cite a project by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation called ReMoTe (Remote Mobile Tele-assistance), which projects an actual hand onto a maintenance worker's field of vision for more precise remote instruction.
"In addition to simple pointer functionality, the hand gestures allow the expert, often located in a major metropolitan city, to demonstrate how to perform specific complex manual procedures for workers located on site," they write.
Companies are already building AR-enabled hardware for onsite employees. One such company, Daqri, has built a Smart Helmet that visualizes data (and even thermal vision) onto the visor.
AI is Teaching Your Worksite How to Be Smarter
The full power of predictive analytics is coming to mining sites very soon.
In early 2017, Goldcorp Inc. and Integra Gold Corp. hosted the #DisruptMining event, in which five tech companies pitched their ideas to five mining and tech executives. Two of those five companies were built around artificial intelligence and machine learning:
- Goldspot Discoveries, which was awarded $100,000 for its pitch, uses a machine learning algorithm to make mineral exploration targeting much more precise. With that intel, the company can then "stake acreage, acquire projects and royalties, and invest in public vehicles to create a portfolio of assets with the greatest reward to risk ratio."
- KORE Geosystems Inc., which was also awarded $100,000 plus the chance to negotiate a million-dollar deal, delivers engineering and operational intelligence in real time so engineers and managers can make high-level (i.e. expensive) decisions with much better insight.
And at Mining Magazine, Dr. Penny Stewart of PETRA Data Science has a piece that explores how machine-learning predictive tools, such as her company's Forestall algorithm, can know hours in advance when to expect downtime so that operators and maintenance crews are ready.
Finally, expect to see a convergence between drones and AI very soon.
Mouncey Ferguson at Core77 has an excellent piece on these AI-native drones — drones both built with AI and flown with AI. The automated navigation is especially interesting: One product designer has outfitted a drone with the hardware and software that will make it capable of navigating a racecourse on its own after a few test flights. The next step, the piece notes, is to give these drones situational awareness then teach them how to roam freely.
4 Challenges That Impede This Generation of Technology
Many of these tools are already in use at worksites around the world, but many others face some significant barriers to wider use.
1. A Tech Skills Gap
First, as VIATechnik founder and president Danielle Dy Bunico points out on CONEXPO-CON/AGG's podcast, there is a skills hurdle in hardhat industries. "Somebody who's coming with a degree in computer science is going to work for companies like Google, Amazon and Apple," she says.
Therefore, the expertise to grow these technologies in industries such as mining or construction need to be developed within, she says.
2. A Worksite's Existing Tech Infrastructure
Steve Soechtig, who leads teams that develop digital experiences for Deloitte Digital, tells TechTarget's Nicole Laskowski that AR and VR have substantial processing and bandwidth needs because they work in real time. At many worksites, these tools might not be interoperable with legacy systems, he says.
3. Physical Limitations
Especially with augmented reality, certain inherent flaws in the technology — at least, as it currently exists — will hinder its application. For example, Eric Sabelman and Roger Lam of Kaiser Permanente have an excellent analysis at IEEE of the dangers AR can present simply because it disrupts the ways our eyes normally work.
"[O]ur innate neural wiring prefers images of people to objects — and that is the case even if the people are virtual and the objects are real," they write. "So if you're looking at something not human in the real world, but the AR image includes people (or even simple shapes resembling the human form) AR will win the struggle for attention."
4. Regulations
This is an evergreen challenge, especially with disruptive technology. But as Black & Veatch's Brian Melton notes, because the FAA's guidelines restrict drone flights to within an operator's line of sight, their use is severely restrained.
"Drones have the capability for autonomous flight, where they can be programmed to inspect miles of natural gas pipeline or power line distribution," he writes. "However, using drones on large linear projects poses a challenge for utilities due to current Federal Aviation Administration guidelines."

Pete had seen a Firecrest on the Wild Marsh East yesterday, so with Lol I set off to refind it. The plan was find a roving Tit flock and it would surely be in with them.
The first difficulty was finding a roving Tit flock, in fact finding anything was proving a bit difficult.
We eventually did stumble across a few birds and we started pishing, almost instantly a 'crest popped up, however it proved to be more Gold than Fire, still a nice bird. Nearby a male Blackcap also appeared.
Lol pishing in some bushes (I think that's what he said)
A couple of Snipe, 1 Green Sandpiper, 1 Redshank and a pair of Goosander were the best of the rest. The latter seem to like the canal/overflow channels more than the reservoirs for some reason and also seem to spend a lot of time commuting, the same birds being seen anywhere from No.5, occasionally, but more often around the top of the Lockwood on the Banbury but also on the Chingford reservoirs.
A few more Passerines noted today now the snow has gone, Greenfinches and Song Thrushes much more obvious than of late.
(On this date: 10 12 90 The Mediterranean Gull still present on the filter beds at Walthamstow also a 2nd winter drake Smew on the High Maynard and a Common Sandpiper on the Lockwood.)

KUNDASANG, Malaysia (UPDATED) – Five Singapore primary school students and one teacher were among 16 people so far confirmed killed by an earthquake that rocked Malaysia's Mount Kinabalu, government authorities said on Sunday, June 7.
Malaysian officials said the death toll from the earthquake that struck on Friday (June 5) morning had risen to 16, with three more bodies recovered.
Three more people remain missing.
The Singaporean students were part of a school excursion to the popular climbing destination, which was jolted by a 6.0-magnitude quake just as the 4,095-metre-high (13,435-foot) peak was crowded with hikers.
The tremor triggered thunderous landslides that obliterated sections of trail on the mountain, located in the state of Sabah on Borneo island.
Malaysian officials have so far released few details on the identities of the victims, but Singapore's Education Ministry confirmed the deaths of the 12- and 13-year-old students and one teacher.
"We are deeply saddened to inform that the bodies recovered by the Malaysian authorities have been identified by their next-of-kin as five students and one teacher from Tanjong Katong Primary School," it said in a statement.
It said a Singaporean adventure guide who accompanied the school group also died and that one other student and a teacher remained missing.
Masidi Manjun, tourism minister for Sabah state, said on Twitter that search teams were focusing on a section of the mountain where he said a "river of stones" had left a major trail impassable.
Mohammad Farhan Lee Abdullah, police chief of the town of Ranau near the mountain, said that body parts had been found on sections of the mountain, suggesting the awesome power of the landslides.
It was not immediately clear whether the body parts were from corpses already found or were from the 3 still missing.
"They are in parts probably because of rocks and boulders falling on them but we need to do forensics first," Mohammad Farhan said.
The local Kinabalu Today news portal quoted rescue personnel saying that full recovery of remains could be impossible as some were pinned under massive boulders or possibly swept to their deaths from the peak.
Singapore's Straits Times newspaper said some of the Singaporean students were taking a route to summit that diagonally traverses a steeply sloping rock face and in which climbers are tethered to ropes attached to the surface.
The area is above the treeline and would have left those in that section exposed to the hail of stones and boulders.
Aftershocks leave rescuers on edge
Rescuers Saturday, June 6, had escorted down to safety 137 hikers who were stuck on the mountain for up to 18 hours by the rockfalls.
Crews and officials engaged in search and rescue efforts have been kept on edge by aftershocks, including a Saturday afternoon temblor that Malaysian officials rated at 4.5-magnitude.
More tremors were felt in the area Sunday.
The quake, whose epicentre was near the picturesque mountain, was one of Malaysia's strongest in decades.
There have been no reports of major damage or any casualties outside of those at Mount Kinabalu.
Climbing has been suspended for at least three weeks so authorities can make repairs and assess safety risks.
Around 20,000 people complete the relatively easy climb each year.
Mount Kinabalu is sacred to the local Kadazan Dusun tribe.
Malaysian social media users and some officials have suggested the quake was a sign tribal spirits were angry after a group of 10 apparently Western men and women tourists last weekend snapped nude photos at the summit and posted them on the Internet. – Satish Cheney, AFP/Rappler.com

[Let's Talk] What are you playing? – March 2019
Posted on March 9, 2019 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk
A new month rolled right on in last week. Now that we're in March, we want to know what you've been playing.
Have you started up something entirely new for the month? Giving Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn a try on 3DS? No matter the case, let us know in the comments below.
Highlights from last week's topic: Pokemon Sword/Shield reactions
King Orik
Great to see a new Pokémon game on Switch. The art is largely following Sun and Moon, however, is much larger in scope. Galar looks vibrant and varied with many landscapes inspired by the UK. Battles look great with an overall cleaner cell-shaded presentation than Let's Go. Hopeful that the world will match the ambition of the title and have a different approach to exploring the region.
Keen for Scorbunny as my starter so far (I'll make my final choice based on the final evolutions). The designs for the starters look great and I hope the quality of these Pokémon is retained in the others for this generation.
I'm really happy with what I saw in the trailer. I really like it when a game series has a style all it's own that gradually evolves over time, as opposed to sudden big changes for the sake of it. I think they did a good job upgrading from Sun and Moon. Things looked great while keeping that distinct Pokemon feel. I liked Let's GO's style for a side game, but I didn't want that for the main core games. The setting looks interesting so far and has me excited to learn more over the course of the rest of the year. I think the starters look really fun, but I'm not quite ready to pick a favorite yet. I really want to see their full evolutions first, because that's who I'll really be working with when all is said and done. I'm very excited to see what happens when Game Freak really lets loose with a new game designed from the ground up for a console like the Switch.
I'm hyped because I have been waiting forever for a UK based Pokémon game.
People get far too caught up in graphics etc… Nothing is set in stone yet.
I just cannot wait to get more details.

My little image sits on top of Wild Dandelion card stock base. I layered up some Wild Lilac and then topped it off with some Yellow Crepe Ruche paper from the Paper Temptress (LOVE that texture). And… the nice part about that Ruche paper… you can stamp directly on it and your image doesn't become distorted… (my sentiment was stamped direct). Love that!! I did color my image with Copic makers and cut her out then mounted her using Pop Dots.
A perfect little image to say, "bless you", "I'm praying for you…" or even "thanks be to God…". I'm a HUGE lover of praying hands no matter how they are presented. It speaks volumes to me!

Page 01 – The Romanticizing of Entrepreneurship
I know, from years of experience talking with and helping entrepreneurs, that entrepreneurship is not what it's commonly romanticized to be.
Unlike what you may have been told, it's not easy, it doesn't happen quickly, and you probably won't make nearly as much money as soon and as easily as you'd like or thought you would.
And regardless of how many "success stories" you've read, not everyone can do it.
It takes a unique combination of personal attributes to make it work.
And moreover, that combination of attributes is not the same for any two persons.
Every person I've ever met who was starting a new business has had stars in their eyes; fantasies about how easy and how wonderful it's all going to be.
But eventually they found out the truth, and unfortunately, they found it out the hard way.
Most new businesses fail within a relatively short period of time.
That's just a fact that everyone knows; or should know.
And when I look at the failure rates, I always think one thing:
It doesn't need to be that way.
There's no way to make all businesses thrive, but the failure rates don't need to be as high as they are.
My goal is to do what I can to reduce the failure rate.

Page 02 - Business Wisdom
The most important resource that your business has (other than you) is your list of contacts. Build it. Nurture it. Know it inside and out. Keep in touch. Remember birthdays. Give compliments. Recommend people to others. Congratulate successes. Provide useful information. Do these things often. Be visible. Be meaningful. Be memorable. Don't let anyone forget who you are. Don't let anyone forget that you're available and willing to help them.
= = =
Page 03 - Marketing Wisdom
Marketing is Finding:
Don't like selling? Not many people do.
Some people don't like marketing either, because they think it's really just another word for selling.
Marketing is not about selling.
Marketing is about creating those conditions that make selling unnecessary.
For professional services providers, marketing is about finding people that fit six criteria:
• They know you.
• They like you.
• They trust you.
• They want your service.
• They have enough money to pay for your service.
• They are willing spend that money on your service as opposed to spending it on someone else's comparable service or spending it on something completely different.
Do you believe that there are a lot of people out there somewhere who already want what you offer, and are willing and able to pay for it?
If that were true, and they fit the criteria listed above, do you believe you would have to convince or persuade them to buy your service?
Marketing is about finding those people and creating relationships with them to bring them to the point of knowing, liking and trusting you.
Then life gets easier. And better.

Page 04 - Website Wisdom
Your website is your second most important branding medium.
Your branding media consists of everything you create for the public to see, whether digital or printed. If you're a solo business owner, or the main spokesperson for a company, then the most important medium is YOU; how you look, how you dress, how you talk, what you say, your attitude, your body language, and your general demeanor.
The next most important medium is your website. And, yes, it's even more important than social media. In fact, the main purpose of social media (and all your other marketing things and activities) is to get people to visit your website.
One of the biggest problems with websites is that they get built and then forgotten. Look at your site frequently, and ask the question, "Is it doing a good job for me?"
= = =
Page 05- The Search for Ideas Must Never End
Remember to always be looking for ideas.
YOUR ideas, not other people's ideas.
Contrarian entrepreneurs do not operate their lives or their businesses based on other people's answers and solutions.
They do not copy, emulate, mimic, or imitate.
They THINK, they LEARN, and they CREATE new things that did not exist before.

BBB-DDD Is Not Enough
Think for yourself. If you don't think for yourself, then other people will do your thinking for you, and that's not a good thing.
Read books. Read blogs. Watch videos. Watch TED Talks. Listen to podcasts. Learn something new every single day. Never stop learning. You cannot foretell when a piece of knowledge will become useful to you.
Create something -- something good -- something that wasn't there before and would never have been there if you hadn't shown up.

Global architecture firm Perkins + Will have built this property which has shuttered bedrooms perched atop the upper storey. Thin columns create a shaded outdoor living space underneath.
The Residencia Cidade Jardim in São Paulo comprises a series of perpendicular bars arranged on different levels. Ample outdoor space is the focal point of this property, for example, the large covered patio, pool, grassy lawn and open air courtyard.
In Portuguese, cidade means city and jardim means garden. This property has an endless number of place to dine outside with guests and its layout makes it one of the best properties for summer parties.
"Built on approximately 3,937 square feet (1,200 square metres) of terrain with considerable declivity, the project uses solutions commonly found in country homes to create a soothing atmosphere in the turbulent, chaotic scene from the big city," said Perkins+Will.
Space for entertaining occupies the ground floor whereas the bedrooms are nested away in the upper story. "Privacy was the main point in the organisation of the ground floor programme," said the firm.
To enter the residence, one must go up an external staircase that leads to the main entrance.
"The ground floor is located nine feet (2.7 metres) above the street level, as a strategy to prevent inconveniences like noise and pollution, or even the need for big security walls that would confine the space," the firm said.
The wooden shutters covering the windows can be opened or close to maximum privacy. The upper storey contains a lounge and three bedrooms, which are accessed by a metal and wood staircase situated along a gridded glass wall.
This property is truly remarkable, the decision to open up the ground floor to the outside gives the house a certain tranquility that cannot be recreated with any interior design. The man responsible for the landscaping that bring the proper to life is Gil Fialho, who selected local species that would amplify the lush surroundings.

|Red vs. Blue Episode
|"Add It Up"
|Episode no.
|Running time
Red vs. Blue Recreation
Add It Up is a PSA about the 6th anniversary of Rooster Teeth Productions.
Red TeamEdit
Blue TeamEdit
Sarge, Simmons and Caboose discuss the sixth anniversary of Rooster Teeth Productions. Specifically, Simmons mentions that the community has built a total of a millennium in online time, leading the others to briefly believe the users possess immortality of some kind. After a quick comparison of what the community has done with its time compared to the rest of the world, the three look forward to the future discoveries to be made.
Fade in to Valhalla during rehearsal
Sarge: I just don't feel like in the last few scenes in the show my character has been properly motivated.
Caboose: Uh huh.
Sarge: You know, as a thespian I feel like people need to connect with Sarge's emotional core.
Caboose: I hear that.
Lopez: Sí. Es muy difícil.
Caption: I agree. It can be difficult.
Sarge: Why are you still in character?
Lopez: No mames.
Caption: Don't fuck with my method.
Caboose: I feel you brother.
Simmons: Hey guys, I got the new lines for the birthday PSA.
Caboose: The what?
Simmons: For our sixth anniversary, April first.
Caboose: Really, another birthday? It seems like we just did one last year.
Simmons: We have to do that annual video that says thanks to the people who like us. And to the people who don't like us it says, you know, fuck you we're not going anywhere.
Lopez: Si vamos hacer más líneas, nos vamos a pagar más dinero?
Caption: If we're doing extra lines, does that mean we get overtime?
Simmons: No, and why are you still in character?
Lopez: No voy a decirlo otra vez.
Caption: I'm not going over this again.
Simmons: There is a small problem though. They wanted to connect the PSA to the website, so they had me doing some research.
Caboose: That is a problem.
Simmons: No, I mean- are you still in character too?
Caboose: Posibilidad.
Caption: Possibleness.
Simmons: Hhh, turns out, the website users have built up a total time online of over a millennia.
Sarge: Millennium? You mean our users have been surfing for a thousand years?
Simmons: Yeah, it's pretty crazy, right?
Caboose: Wow, they are really old! Oh my God are they vampires.
Simmons: What? No.
Caboose: Sorry, I get it. Time travelers.
Simmons: Hhh, not individually, a thousand years collectively. And the guys on top want us to celebrate it in some way during the PSA video.
Caboose: Oh, yes, I see, since the users like to eat blood.
Simmons: Not vampires.
Caboose: And since they've probably already been to all the best parties in history-
Simmons: Not time travelers.
Sarge: Okay I got it!
Simmons: Thank God.
Sarge: To celebrate their thousand years online, we hold a big tournament for the users.
Simmons: Sounds good Sir.
Sarge: In which they fight each other to the death with ceremonial swords. Cutting off each other's heads, thus absorbing the immortal powers of their opponents. Winner take all, plus a free T-shirt.
Simmons: Guys, the users are not Highlanders. They got the thousand years as a group. If you add up all the time they spent online, then you get the thousand years.
Sarge: Simmons, I told you no math in our videos.
Simmons: One of the things I thought we could do would be to compare our community's thousand years of accomplishments with the real world's accomplishments in the same timeframe.
Caboose: Sounds great!
Simmons: Eh, not so much. It turns out there's kind of a gap between the two.
A graph appears showing the accomplishments of both timelines
Sarge: How big of a gap?
Simmons: Well, depending on the thousand years of world history you look at, you have anything from the creation of philosophy, or the Pyramids, or more recent stuff like the discovery of flight, or mass communication.
Sarge: What about our guys?
Simmons: Our guys? Well, there's a lot of pictures of cats.
Sarge: Is that it?
Simmons: Some poorly worded motivational posters, some lip-sync videos, and believe me there's a lot of arguments about the origins of the Dharma Initiative.
Caboose: You left out animated gifs. I love those.
Sarge: Nhh, I don't know. It just seems like we could've done more.
Simmons: Well, look at it this way Sir. It only took our users six years to log a millennium of online time. And, since we're growing exponentially, who knows what new discoveries await us?
Caboose: You mean loldogs!
Sarge: Or profiles of hot girls that are actually hot girls.
Caboose: Or BAR forums without scary people.
Simmons: Dare to dream guys... *sniff* dare to dream.
The song "What A Wonderful World" or "Thank You" begins playing

Good morning! Guess who's finally delivering on birthday food porn?
Meeee. I hope you're excited. These pictures are pretty.
Birthday dinner buddy was Lisa, as if you would expect anything different. Love of my life and ray of sunshine.
She's moving to California the day after I move back to Syracuse, and I may be shedding a tear or two over the fact that she'll be a thousand miles away versus an hour drive. I guess I'll just have to visit her in Cali. Yeah you'll really have to convince me on that one.
We spent some time with the menu:
Which we decided was really well done. We both have a solid appreciation for good design, and this cabana wasn't too bad either. Talk about perfect outdoor seating!
We began with the Warm Mushroom Salad:
I have this thing for mushrooms, and I just really like them. The cheese on this was also unreal. I usually don't eat cheese (dairy maybe once a week), but holy moly. I could go for this on some 'shrooms any day.
The tiniest shiitake mushroom there ever was.
But actually though.
And then everything came so we just piled it on. Only way to do it. The large and in-charge chicken meatballs:
Pronounced "meatbawwwls". Straight from Grandma's kitchen.
So. good.
Then our skewers:
From left to right: Beef skewer (HOLY CRAP these were unreal. Literally exploding with teriyaki. I could eat this all day every day. Even for breakfast.), asparagus, and scallop (infused with balsamic and lemon. WIN).
No, but really. I could eat those beef skewers every day. It was like a literal teriyaki explosion. If any of you end up cooking for me one day, now you know what to make.
My plate:
Unreal. The best combination of flavors in my mouth, ever. For a bomb birthday dinner, go to Next Door Bar & Grill. You're welcome.
Next up: Dessert! (p.s. Have you entered in my birthday giveaway?!)
Do you like meat bawwwwls?
Do you ever have unexplained accents that don't have anything to do with where you live?
Which one of the above would you want in your belly?

Critical Perspectives on Hate Crime – Contributions from the Island of Ireland, co-edited by Jennifer Schweppe (School of Law) and Dr Amanda Haynes (Department of Sociology) of the Hate and Hostility Research Group at UL with Seamus Taylor of Maynooth University (2017)
This book provides a unique insight into the lived realities of hate crime in Ireland and its treatment within the criminal justice system. The significance of the Irish case is contextualised within the European and global policy contexts and an overview of hate crime in Ireland, both north and south, and its differential treatment in each jurisdiction's criminal justice system is offered. Presenting empirically grounded analyses of the experiences of commonly targeted identity groups in an Irish context, this study also draws upon their exposure to hate crime and challenges encountered in seeking redress. Combining theory, research and practice, this book represents legal, social, cultural and political concerns pertinent to understanding, preventing, deterring and combatting hate crime across Ireland. It incorporates a variety of perspectives on the hate crime paradigm and addresses many of the cutting-edge debates arising in the field of hate studies.
Contributions from Irish and international academic researchers are complemented by applied pieces authored by practitioners and policy makers actively engaged with affected communities. This is a progressive and informed text which will be of great value to activists, policy makers and scholars of hate crime and criminal justice.

A terrible event – but I don't want anyone to call it an "act of violence" or "a terrible tragedy". It was an attack – one or more men decided with malice to attack a US military base. We need to get right down to the bottom of this – and, liberals, if the stories of accomplices in custody are true, this is where harsh interrogation might be needed: whoever was involved in this most emphatically does not have a right to remain silent.
UPDATE: AP sources: Fort Hood suspect drew attention of authorities 6 months ago for Internet posts (via Twitter)
UPDATE: Ed Morrissey describes what he calls Obama's "My Pet Goat" moment, his address to the nation about the attack:
It took Obama almost two full minutes from the time he began speaking until he got around to mentioning the shooting at Fort Hood — the reason everyone tuned into Obama's speech. The nation wanted some leadership at a time when it appeared that a terrorist attack may have taken place on American soil — and Obama was apparently more concerned about giving a "shout out" to his friends at the Tribal Nations Conference. Indeed, he tells the audience above that he's been inconvenienced out of delivering his lengthier remarks because the shooting has intruded itself on his daily business.

I love breakfast and I look forward to preparing myself a delicious and nutritious meal to start my day. I often get asked what I eat for breakfast so I'm currently putting together a little e-book – my little book of breakfasts – which should be ready early in 2016.
However, I thought I'd share my festive Bircher's Muesli recipe with you now so you can enjoy it over the Christmas break. The recipe below serves 1 person but if you want to make up a larger batch it will keep well for at least 3 days if stored in your fridge.

|Serves 1
|Place all the ingredients in a cereal bowl. Stir well and leave in the fridge overnight. Serve with chopped pecan nuts, sliced fig and/or pomegranate seeds.

PHOTOS: Seniors out and about for their special week
AS SENIORS week gets well under way in the Gladstone Region, many attending the activities are learning new skills.
Today's events were all about the arts, with a morning ukulele session.
Many others were in full swing with Indian dance lessons held at Welcoming Intercultural Neighbours, with plenty willing to let their hair down and show their moves.
There was a slightly slower pace at Gladstone Library with a few hours of mahjong for those who wanted to test their minds.
Seniors got tech savvy at Crow Street while also showing off their artistic flair as the mobile phone photography workshops were a hit.

Summer starts! Almost. I've been ferrying my little neighbor to her first pottery class this spring… I know it's almost summer because the fruits of her labor are coming in like a generous crop of tomatoes in high summer! My efforts are rewarded with this gift of a dreamy sky blue vessel, here on my desk bursting with exuberant white azaleas from the yard. Thanks M! It's a treasure. :)
And speaking of tomatoes…
San Marzano & Bepino seedlings! Will it get warm enough for these to grow? Have I planted too late as usual? Ah, the mysteries of summer. Bring it on.
One little guy has a head start. A hold over from last summer, this volunteer tomato popped up in this pot last fall, and it made too earnest an effort to discard with the fall clean out. He's sat in my kitchen window for this coldest winter in memory, offering the distinctive and familiar scent of a live tomato vine whenever I've jostled the overwintering pots. Early on, he threw out hopeful sprouts at the base as the sun's light grew stronger this spring. So I've trimmed off the languishing winter vine and we're starting anew. See that? Summer never really ends in the Artigiano kitchen. ;)

The new Periodic Table of iPad Apps for Primary aged pupils – ICTEvangelist. I've always enjoyed thinking of ideas about how we can utilise technology for purposeful means in the classroom.
It is often we see the simplest ideas making the biggest impact on teaching and learning. I'm still asked regularly for apps for particular subjects, asking children to use devices as sources of information rather than vehicles or tools to express learning. The iPad has always given us the opportunity to do so much more than consume information giving us opportunities instead to use our creativity to express our learning, to test our learning, to share and publish what we do. 9 Best Apps and Sites to Improve Executive Function.

Concerns and thoughts: In the special education classroom, as a classroom tool, one of the concerns that I have is that the iPad is often used as an individual tool in isolation, not a tool for collaboration and integration.

"50 Best iPad Apps for Reading Disabilities"
"50 Best iPad Apps for Reading Disabilities" Guest Blog by Rosa Ray Whether you're the parent of a child with a reading disability or an educator that works with learning disabled students on a daily basis, you're undoubtedly always looking for new tools to help these bright young kids meet their potential and work through their disability.
While there are numerous technologies out there that can help, perhaps one of the richest is the iPad, which offers dozens of applications designed to meet the needs of learning disabled kids and beginning readers alike. Here, we highlight just a few of the amazing apps out there that can help students with a reading disability improve their skills not only in reading, writing, and spelling, but also get a boost in confidence and learn to see school as a fun, engaging activity, not a struggle.
There is More to iPads in the Classroom Than Apps In a previous post, Evaluating Apps with Transformative Use of the iPad in Mind, I describe my ambivalence about teacher asking my for the "perfect" app to teach this or that.
I have teachers ask me frequently about app recommendations for different subject areas. "What app could I use to teach subtraction?" "What app would you recommend for my students to practice writing?" "I want to use iPads in my Science class. Batch-Create QR Codes in Google Spreadsheet.

As those two facts were certainly separated by an interval of some days, or weeks, it is obvious that the evangelist did not intend to give these events in reference to their exact chronology, but only in reference to their general connection. Hence we may, without the least violence, connect the commission with the events of vs. 19, 20, rather than with those of v. 14, since it must be disconnected with one or the other as to the precise time of its utterance. This then will place it, where it certainly belongs, to the tenth appearance of our Lord in Jerusalem and upon Olivet, in connection with his ascension. It is true that we might refer the appearance in v. 14 to this last occasion, and suppose that it described the last interview which began in the city and ended on the mount of Olives, but the general judgment of expositors and the most natural conclusion is, that it refers to one or two appearances soon after the resurrection, recorded by the other evangelists.
The form of the commission in Mark differs from that in Matthew, precisely as the gospels differ, and precisely as we would expect them to differ from the general design of the two gospels. Matthew, writing for the Hebrews, presents the
doctrines that were most important for them, as we gather from the epistle to the Hebrews, and brings out the connection between the Old and New Testament church, the divinity of Christ, the Trinity, and the perpetuity of the church. Mark, writing for the Roman world, brings out the very doctrines most important for them, as we learn from the epistle to the Romans. The very word "gospel," which is the text of the epistle to the Romans, (Rom. i. 16,) occurs only in this form of the commission, and the great doctrine of justification by faith, which is the substance of that epistle, is also the substance of this form of the commission. The authenticating seals promised in this commission are precisely those that would most readily strike the practical intellect of the Romans and Gentiles generally, and did in fact do so, as we learn from the history of the church. Hence we see how admirably adapted was this selection from the ample utterances of our Lord on this occasion, for the purposes of Mark.
We have here, I. The commission ; II. The seals authenticating it; III. The consequences of accepting or rejecting it.
I. The Commission itself. "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned."
We here perceive again the fact that this was not the original ordination to preach and baptize, but only an extension of the right to do so, from one nation to the whole world. The original ordination is mentioned by Mark in c. ii. 14–19. In c. i. 14, 15, he tells us that Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel and calling on men to repent and believe the gospel. In c. iii. 14—19, he informs us that our Lord ordained the twelve to go and preach this gospel, omitting the fact mentioned by Matthew, in writing for the Hebrews, that they were restricted in this preaching (and of course in the baptism that we learn from John ii. 1, 2, was connected with it) to the house of Israel. Now when the kingdom was fully come, and the gospel complete, they were sent to proclaim it to all nations, and baptize all who would accept it.
It is therefore wholly illogical to infer that this passage is final and exclusive in regard to the subject of baptism. As this inference is pressed by many, we cannot pass it by without some remark.
The argument is, Christ says nothing in this passage about infant baptism, though he was speaking on the subject of baptism. We reply, be says nothing about infant salvation, though he was speaking on the subject of salvation. Hence the inference that excludes them by this passage from baptism, also excludes them from salvation. Indeed it is stronger in the latter case than the former, because of the reverse form of the pro. position. In the first clause it is not said that one who does not believe shall not be baptized, but in the second clause, it is expressly said that one who does not believe shall not be saved. Hence if this passage excludes infants from baptism, much more does it exclude them from salvation. If we recoil from this inference, and say that the passage only refers to those capable of faith, to adults, then if this be true as to salvation, it is equally true as to baptism, and hence it cannot be fairly used as an argument against the baptism of infants.
If it be asked, Why did our Lord not designate all the subjects of baptism ? we reply that he was not explaining the condition of baptism, but of salvation. Hence though he names baptism in the first clause, he omits it in the second, and Luke in recording the words omits it from both. If it be further asked why he did not explain who were to be the proper subjects of baptism, we reply, because this explanation had no doubt been given when the original commission to teach and baptize was granted three years before ; and it was just as needless to explain the proper subject of baptism, as of ordination to the ministry, or admission to the Lord's Supper, or any other question of church order and government, already explained.
The simple purport of the commission was that having hitherto preached to and baptized Jews only, they must now preach to and baptize all nations, as the great redemption, indicated by this preparatory preaching and baptism, was now finished. That this commission involved no restriction of baptism to adults may be illustrated by a simple supposition. Suppose that instead of baptism it had been circumcision that was enjoined, and the statement had been " he that believeth and is circumcised shall be saved," would any one have dreamed that infants were thereby excluded from circumcision ? If not from circumcision, then they could not be from baptism, by these words. · The apostolic commission is a simple warrant to extend that church to all nations, that had hitherto been confined to one nation. Hence no explanation of the law of membership in that church was needed, unless some change was ordained. That law, which embodied infant membership, had been in existence for two thousand years, and become as familiar as a household word. It was not needed to explain that law any more than the law of praise, prayer, or the Sabbath. When the church was thus extended, the law of membership went with it, unless repealed. As the New Testament is silent about any such repeal, it follows that the law of membership is unchanged, and that the promise is still not only to us, but also to our children, and that Abraham is

A Few Things Learned from Last Week's Sewer Board Meeting
July 26, 2018
SEELEY LAKE - I attended the meeting of the Seeley Lake Sewer District last week and I learned a few things.
1. The water quality in Seeley Lake is excellent; among the best in Montana. The lake is not being polluted by individual septic systems in the community. In fact the groundwater in the surrounding area does not enter the lake. Neither does it mix with other surface water. So, the whole argument that we have to have a sewer system because we are polluting the lake is a scam.
2. The problem pointed out by the Health Department is high nitrate levels in the ground water. However, they...

Many marketers never consider the expertise of an SEO agency, because they believe they can accomplish the task themselves and a majority of these marketers end up with poor rankings in search engines. The truth is optimizing a website for users as well as search engines isn't as easy as it seems. You need to be proficient with the ins and outs of search engine optimization (SEO) tactics. Also, you need to keep updated on latest search algorithms. If you miss out anything, your website will get lost in the cyberspace.
Once you fail to show up in search results, your audience won't find your site. If your site isn't found and visited by users, you won't be able to sell your products and services. Consequently, you may have to shutdown your venture online. The good news is it's easy to avert such an undesirable scenario by turning to a white label SEO agency, such as HopInTop.

Driving customers through organic search is almost impossible in this highly competitive online arena.

Fund development can be a very frustrating topic for nonprofit leaders, particularly when neighborhood-level charities begin dealing with institutions such as hospitals, and for hospital departments attempting to align funding for department focus. That frustration can be overwhelming.
First and foremost, all business agreements happen through relationships. This may be surprising for those of us new to business, who assume that business agreement is first and foremost transactional. The truth is, most seasoned leaders look for a relationship first (meaning trust, respectfulness, honesty, reasonableness, competency, business acumen, agreeableness) and then work out transactions (who gets what and what it costs) later. For those new in the field of fund development, it does not matter how good your idea is or your execution will be if the relationship is not yet in place. Become known as a reasonable, trustworthy, stable, and considerate leader and know that those qualities will bring your funding 75% the way there. Reputation and relational connection is the seedbed for business partnerships.
The sad news is that this irrefutable principle in business may takes some time to develop if you are a new factor in a community or in the hospital. Get known and get respected. There is always funding for good ideas and a community charity pharmacy is an exceptionally good idea. Such a model produces sustained improvement in health among the most complex patient populations, and does so at a fraction of the cost of other healthcare programs. But funding happens through trusted relationships, followed by accountability and follow through.

Full of good-for-you ingredients, these vegan Cheesy Kale Chips are the perfect snack for warm summer months!
During the warm months (and it's still pretty warm in September) I eat a lot of raw foods, and kale chips are usually my raw snack food of choice. Several years ago I even bought a dehydrator so I can make my own. Homemade kale chips are so much tastier than store-bought, and they end up being much more economical too. I've made so many batches of chips, I'm sure I've more than made up for the cost of my dehydrator by now. Two of my favorite kale chip flavors are Green Goddess made with sesame seeds and these cheesy chips made with cashews. Just a few simple ingredients transform plain kale to a super yummy snack.
You may need to double this Cheesy Kale Chips recipe, because they're super addictive. They'll disappear in no time!
Cheesy Kale Chips
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked for two hours and drained
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 medium-sized tomato chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large bunch of kale
Blend all ingredients except kale in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding water a tablespoon at a time if needed.
Remove the stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, pour dressing over kale and massage the kale until it is well coated.
For raw kale chips, arrange the kale in a single layer on a dehydrator tray covered with a teflex sheet. You'll need two to four trays depending on the size of your dehydrator and the amount of kale you have. Dehydrate on 105° for six hours. Remove the teflex sheet and place the chips directly on the dehydrator tray. Return the chips to the dehydtrator for two more hours.
These will disappear in a flash, but on the off chance you have some left, store them in an airtight container. If it's humid, the chips will get soggy, but they will crisp up again after another hour or so back in the dehydrator.
For cooked chips, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Arrange kale chips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You'll need two or three baking sheets, depending on how much kale you have. Bake until the kale chips begin to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. If the chips aren't totally dry, carefully flip them over and bake for 5 or 10 more minutes. Watch the chips closely to make sure they don't burn.

Lukashenko thanks Serbian ambassador for efforts to develop cooperation with Belarus
Outgoing Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Serbia to Belarus Veljko Kovacevic has made a big contribution to the development of bilateral cooperation with Belarus, President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with the ambassador on 28 May, BelTA informs.
"As far as I understand, you are going back to Serbia, unfortunately. But service is service, I understand," the head of state remarked. "I want to ask you as a friend to tell the president that we hope that the next ambassador will as good as you. We are not against if the next ambassador will be even better."
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: "More and more ambassadors become our friends." The president also expressed his opinion about the participation of Ambassador of Slovakia to Belarus Jozef Migas in the Victory Day celebrations in Minsk on 9 May which had ambiguous consequences for the diplomat.
"Probably, you know what the ambassador of Slovakia did. It was a truly worthy gesture. Frankly speaking, I do not fully understand the position of the official Slovak leadership which allegedly criticized his action, dismissed the ambassador or are considering his resignation," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The head of state recalled that the ambassador of Slovakia was raised in a family of a patriot, his father fought against the Nazis, was a partisan, and the diplomat spoke about it many times. "How can you criticize this person?" the Belarusian leader wondered. In his opinion, it is inadmissible to punish a person for such things. "We are close people. How can it be? We fought against Nazism together. And today we are absolutely against it," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The head of state explained: "That is why we are paying so much attention to the appointment of ambassadors, we want them to be our friends. We understand that any ambassador will watch over the interests of their country first. The ambassador working in Belarus should glue the relations with Belarus."
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarus is interested in maintaining good relations with Serbia, and the ambassador should do his best to help establish such relations.
"Therefore, I want you to tell my friend, the president of Serbia, that he needs to find an ambassador who will be as good as you were," the head of state concluded.
