Chile pepper season is coming to an end in Denver, and the vendors who sell the smoky-hot goodness from New Mexico and southern Colorado will soon be packing up their roasters, bushel baskets and awnings for the winter -- if they haven't already.
But the city's new zoning code -- approved this past June -- means there could be more chile stands in town next season, or at least old stands in new places. While a glitch in the publication of the code initially made it appear that chile stands would only be allowed to operate in spots that are 500 feet or more from a residential area, that isn't the case.
"Rather, the new zoning code expands opportunities for seasonal outdoor sales," says Sue Cobb, spokeswoman for the Denver planning department.
Under the old code, chile venders, farmers' markets and other food stands are only allowed in three zones -- B-3, B-4 and I-0 -- while the new code permits these uses throughout Denver's commercial areas. So chile stands could now operate along West 38th Avenue or even in the Golden Triangle, for example. The code has confused some vendors, like Mile High Chile owner Martha Pena, who had her stand on South Federal Boulevard near Cedar Street for most the chile season this year and thought Denver was trying to get rid of the stands.

"I was sweatin'," says Pena, who runs the stand with her daughter Janie. A 500-foot rule would have made it more difficult to find a good location. And although the new code may expand the area where chile stands can go, customers are trained to hit Federal Boulevard, as Pena found out this season when she tried to relocate to South Broadway.
"My customers couldn't find me there," she says. So Pena returned to Federal.
According to Cobb, the city will clarify the fact that seasonal outdoor sales aren't restricted by a 500-foot rule in a "clean-up amendment" that will be filed by the end of the year. Until then, both the old zoning code and the new one are operating in tandem to give people and businesses time to get used to the changes.

A proposed expansion of a gas pipeline that traverses Glastonbury has many concerned about the construction impact, as well as the fracking process from which the natural gas comes, and the potential for fracking wasted dumps becoming part of the Connecticut landscape.
The Algonquin natural gas pipeline runs from New Jersey to just north of Boston, and essentially bisects both Connecticut and the town of Glastonbury. The pipeline crosses underneath the Connecticut River from Rocky Hill near the intersection of Old Maid's Lane and Tryon Street.
Glastonbury resident Jennifer Siskind, a local coordinator with Food & Water Watch, lead a presentation at the Connecticut Audubon Society's Center at Glastonbury called "Impacts of Natural Gas Pipeline Expansions on Glastonbury and Beyond" on Nov. 19.
Siskind explained that dozens of towns in Connecticut will be affected by the proposed expansion of five major natural gas pipelines. In Glastonbury, the planned expansion will include construction at the metering station on Chaulker Hill Road, drilling under the Connecticut River, clearing trees and land and digging a trench to lay a 36" diameter pipe across town roughly from Great Pond to Balmoral. The pipeline, which is owned by Spectra Energy, is used to transport natural gas from fracking wells in the Marcellus Shale, located underneath most of the Appalachian Mountain Range, and concentrated in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio.
In Glastonbury, the pipeline passes through residents' properties, town land, wetlands, forests, and farms. The planned expansion has made it most of the way through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission process, and is said to be part of future plans to export American natural gas overseas, via export terminals in Nova Scotia that were formerly used to import fossil fuels.
The PR that is coming out of the gas and utility industry is that the added pipelines are needed, while opponents are objecting for many reasons, including that leaking pipelines being replaced would conserve gas already being transported, as well as environmental concerns, Siskind said.
An environmental impact statement, totaling more than 1,000 pages, lays out most of what will happen with the project, but Siskind said there are some gaps that have yet to be addressed. Siskind recommends reading the document, which is of public record, for anyone concerned about how it might affect their property.
"It will give you a descriptor of what is happening in other areas of Connecticut, and give you a clue of what is going to happen when they start working here in Glastonbury," Siskind said. "At the Glastonbury metering station, they are going to be replacing all of the equipment, but we don't know what all that equipment is going to be yet. Spectra hasn't completed what designs they are going to use yet. It's very difficult to predict what sort of impact it will have on the environment."
One Glastonbury resident at the meeting said her home is very close to the existing pipeline easement, and that she has had experiences, both in the past and recently, with the pipeline contractors.
"They say they're just adding a pipe, but they're adding a third pipe," she said. "To add the third pipe on the opposite side, they automatically cleared 35 feet [of brush, etc.] and they lease that from you, so it's even less money. After they come in and ruin all of your landscaping, and pay you [next to] nothing, they'll give it back to you."
She added that the pipeline affects property values of homes along the line, and nearby.
"If my house goes down $100,000, the house next to me is going to go down, and the house across the street," she said. "The town's going to lose more money in tax revenue. I don't understand why no one seems to care unless you live directly on the pipeline."
"What they're going to do is to try to negotiate with the homeowners a settlement for how much can be taken," Siskind said. "If they don't reach an agreement with the homeowners that's satisfactory, they do have the right to come in and take it by eminent domain." Siskind said there is still compensation, but it is determined by the legal system.
"FERC is not listening," Siskind said. "They are not looking at the cumulative impacts. Groups are calling for health impact assessments as well."
Siskind said the push for more domestic gas is part of the federal government's energy policy (as well as the Natural Gas Act of 1938), which sounds good to most people, because it reduces dependence on foreign oil. The trade-off comes in the form of increased oil and gas infrastructure and its pollution impact on the environment. The answer, she said, is renewable energy.
"We have the capacity right now to install more solar and wind energy, and we're not doing it," Siskind said. "Instead, we're focused on gas, gas, gas."
Fracking itself has been under fire for producing hazardous waste materials. The process includes pumping high-pressure "slick water" (fresh water, plus chemicals and sand) into shale approximately two miles below ground, which fractures the rock, releasing the gas. The liquid waste produced, which can contain radon (as can the gas itself) is stored in open evaporation ponds (especially in the west, where the climate is drier) and chemicals are evaporated into the air, becoming an air toxin for people in the area, Siskind said.
The waste is also transported to hazardous waste sites all over the U.S. Connecticut currently has a ban on fracking waste, but Siskind calls that ban "tenuous." The ban went through the environmental, energy and judicial committees "with flying colors," but once it was on the legislative floor, several compromises took place.
"Instead of getting a complete ban, we ended up getting a three-year moratorium," Siskind said. "There's a chance that new legislators could come in and put in new legislation that would shorten that three years."
Siskind said she hopes the meeting will help the grass roots effort to affect change. Among the possibilities are that the Town of Glastonbury could request a formal presentation from Spectra, and that there are some state permits needed for things like drilling along the pipeline to sample soils, at which the public can have input.
The hope, Siskind said, is that more people will get involved.
"I am actively participating in objecting to the pipelines, and I'm willing to help anyone who wants to become part of that," she said. "I'm also trying to get individuals organized into this [anti-waste] fight – to organize locally. I would love to be able to collect hundreds, if not thousands, of signatures across towns throughout Connecticut, and having that core, grass roots group approach their town councils and mayors and saying 'let's write our own resolutions and regulations not accepting fracking waste."

Forums › Bugs & issues › Can't open existing Axcrypt files with latest version of Axcrypt › Reply To: Can't open existing Axcrypt files with latest version of Axcrypt
Richard Long
Continuing with the PDF failure, I also noticed that unlike V1 where I could force Axcrypt via a command to always use the DATE of the file when created/modified rather than the date encrypted. This is important to me in my file management process where I take incremental backups depending on the date and also when scanning to find an old file that no lopnger shows up as old file but newly-encrypted file. How do I get it back to doing what V1 did? Did I miss documentation for V2 discussing KEEPING the original file creation dates? Or did the feature/command go away?
And while you are looking into these problems, how can I revert back to V1 Beta if these issues can't be resolved? I still have the msi file for 1.7.2893.0-x64-en-US-Beta, but what do I have to do and how to do it re now encrypted via V2 files? Must I decrypt everything via V2 then reinstall V1? And are you sure this will work? I have years and years of V1 encrypted files.

7 Ways YouTube Can Grow Its Platform
Is YouTube going away anytime soon? No. Not when 72 hours of video are uploaded to it every minute, and it gets more than 800 million unique hits each month.
However, just because it dominates as a video site doesn't mean it doesn't have competitors trying to cut into a piece of that pie. YouTube obviously wants to continue its pattern of growth.To do that it has to do something it hasn't done a lot of lately: innovate and evolve as a social platform. Here are some things the online giant can address to ensure its reign as the premiere destination for video content.
1. Become More Friendly to Brands
While Facebook is king when it comes to allowing brands to develop a social hub for their content, many other platforms are also big into being brand friendly. In this area, YouTube lags behind. YouTube channels tend to be oriented toward the individual, with brands largely being the exception. And the buy-in cost to create a branded channel with YouTube is traditionally pretty high. YouTube should make it easier for brands to create major video hubs on YouTube by providing the features necessary to develop a strong and engaging community.
2. Improve Ads Through Relevancy
YouTube is sitting on a treasure trove of data and consistently delivers strong video suggestions to its users based on what they've previously watched. However, it's important that ad relevancy is delivered at the same level. YouTube users cite that ads are often unrelated to the content they have chosen to watch. This not only leads to a poor user experience, but hits YouTube's bottom line as well.
After all, YouTube's TrueView video ads charge advertisers only when viewers have chosen to watch their ads, as opposed to impressions alone. If YouTube is to grow its revenue from TrueView ads, then it must increase its overall ad relevancy. This is potentially the strongest tool YouTube has in its arsenal.
3. Become a Better Curator
When users go to YouTube's main browsing page they are presented with a multitude of videos to choose from. At present, you'll get a 4x2 grid of "Most Popular" videos, followed by another 4x2 grid of videos "Recommend for You." After these 16 videos, there are collections of four-video groups from a diverse range of topics and channels. The algorithm behind YouTube can do a much better job of curating than this.
It would be a better idea for YouTube to take a page from content curation apps, which do a pretty good job of making just a few recommendations at a time. "Apps like Zite and Flipboard are certainly headed in the right direction by not only pre-selecting what they think you're interested in, but also presenting the content in a way that's fun and easy to consume," says Lynn Teo, chief experience officer of McCann Erickson. If YouTube focuses on surfacing only the most relevant of the relevant videos in an engaging format, that could only improve site stickiness.
4. Don't Let the "Android Rift" Affect YouTube on iOS
Apple has decided to drop native YouTube support from iOS 6, in part, as a response to Apple execs' unhappiness at how Google has handled the Android-iPhone competition. "Customers can use YouTube in the Safari browser and Google is working on a new YouTube app to be on the App Store," Apple recently announced.
An App Store download is hardly the same thing as the placement the YouTube app has traditional enjoyed with every iOS device since being launched with the iPod Touch in 2007. Aside from continually pushing YouTube via Android smartphones and tablets, Google should try to ensure that the rift with Apple doesn't get wider.
5. Solve Mobile
YouTube has to make more inroads into mobile. A YouTube app that not only lets the user consume content but also allows users to create it would be a major step in the right direction. If not, it could do what photo-sharing site Flickr did when it ceded too much momentum to mobile photography platforms like Instagram.
While compelling video apps such as SocialCam and Viddy have developed loyal fans, the trust associated with the YouTube brand could let it overcome any first-mover advantage that some of these mobile video apps have already developed.
6. Let YouTube Live as its Own Brand
Recently, people visiting the site were greeted with this message: "YouTube now has live video streaming using Hangouts on Air. Live stream to your channel now!" While pushing Hangouts may be good for Google+, Google must think about how its attempts to push Google+ can dilute the YouTube brand and annoy the hardcore YouTube user.
Some might argue that Google is pushing connectivity between Google+ and YouTube so that conversations around YouTube videos can happen on Google+. In this case, Facebook's move to keep Instagram as its own property is a lesson that Google should take to heart.
7. Eliminate Comment Trolls and Elevate the Conversation
Scroll through the comments below a YouTube video and you'll often notice crass and hateful statements. In fact, Head of Product, Dror Shimshowitz recently admitted at developer conference Google I/O that "comments are kind of the Wild West of video." If YouTube is to grow as a community, it needs to find a way to do a better job of moderating this sort of commentary.
While it shouldn't be too hard for YouTube to get the commenting problem under control from a technological perspective, it will also have a perception problem to address. Once YouTube is confident it has significantly improved its comments section, it would be worth developing a campaign to let people know about the changes.
If YouTube is going to try to build a future for itself as the primary platform for video content with high-production values from businesses and Hollywood studios alike, then the platform simply has to be attractive to advertisers. Comments that are bad to the point that "worst-of" blogs have sprouted up will hurt growth.
Which of these challenges do you think YouTube should address first? Let us know in the comments.

UTA Gets Back Wes Anderson From WME
UPDATES UTA Loses Helmer Wes Anderson To WME
Just a few weeks ago, WME trumpeted its signing of Wes Anderson away from his longtime rep, UTA chairman Jim Berkus, and also agent Rich Klubeck. Now the Fantastic Mr Fox director has left WME and returned to UTA. "There's no question that Wes has been loyal to Berkus…" an insider tells me. UPDATE: Anderson initially blamed UTA for the underperformance of Fantastic Mr. Fox and then decided his "several assumptions" had been wrong, so went back.

« Home Schoolers on Public School Sports Teams: Mo. Lawmaker Revives Debate | Main | Charters & Choice News Roundup: Keeping Teachers, Closing Schools »
Charter Schools Combat High Teacher Turnover With On-Site Daycare
One of the largest charter school networks, KIPP, is trying to reel in its high teacher turnover rates with more family-friendly policies, according to this story from The Hechinger Report.
Low teacher retention numbers have been a persistent issue for the charter movement (and one frequently pointed to by opponents), and KIPP is no exception, writes Rachel Monahan for The Hechinger Report:
"In Houston, an astounding 36 percent of teachers left their positions, according to data for the 2013-14 school year. Still, if you factor in teachers switching into leadership roles and out of the classroom, the retention rate rises: three-fourths of teachers stayed with KIPP Houston in some capacity—a notable improvement from the previous year, when KIPP Houston only kept two-thirds of its teachers on its payroll."
KIPP schools are often high-performing while serving mostly low-income and minority students, and its successes—as well as its teacher turnover rate—are often attributed to its long school days and years.
So now the network is offering a buffet of family-friendly policies to ease the load on its educators and keep them in the classroom, including daycare facilities, lactation rooms, flexible schedules, and priority for staff members' children in KIPP school admissions.
You can read the full article, including the American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten's take on KIPP's initiative, here.

I'm currently taking on short-term and temporary projects.
Wireframing/Prototyping: When pulling ideas and output from a brainstorming session, I tend to doodle. Always helps with starting the process of a wireframe. From there, it might grow into a simple sketch mockup or – depending on the product owner or client needs – a bit prettier Photoshop, Illustrator, or Sketch one. Other times, jumping straight into "design by code" might be the best route, producing a fully-functional hi-fidelity prototype within HTML, CSS/SASS, jQuery, that can be passed on to the developers.
Coding: Hand-coding HTML, CSS, jQuery
Frameworks: Semantic, Bootstrap, and Foundation
CMS: At times Drupal and Modx, but primarily WordPress, though. Always open to learn another.
Prototype Tools: Balsamiq, Proto.io, Adobe XD, InvisionApp, MockPlus, UXPin
Graphics: Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch (and Fireworks…RIP)

AnimeVillage offers free Saber Marionette J replacements
posted on
AnimeVillage announced Friday that due to the duplication problem that caused audio drop-outs in most of the copies of Saber Marionette J that shipped, they will be sending free replacement copies to everyone that bought a copy, regardless whether their copy was affected or not. ("If your copy is all right, then you have a head-start on your Christmas shopping!" they said in their announcement.) Customers will NOT have to ship back their old copies.
The replacement copies, which will be shipped to customers via the most expensive shipping option available, are expected to go out immediately. The move is being widely regarded as a very good move by AnimeVillage, which has suffered from PR problems as of late. (On the AnimeVillage bulletin board, one customer noted that "my opinion of Anime Village has gone up more than a few knotches!" AnimeVillage staff, unfortunately, has not been seen on the message board in weeks after the angry letters that ensued from earlier problems with prices and shipping.)

The isolation ward at the Donka Hospital in Conakry where people infected with the Ebola virus are being treated on June 25, 2014
Geneva (AFP) - The World Health Organization on Thursday called for "drastic action" to fight the deadliest Ebola outbreak on record, as it announced an 11-nation meeting to address the growing crisis.
As of Sunday, 635 cases of haemorrhagic fever (most confirmed to be Ebola), including 399 deaths, have been reported across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, making the outbreak the largest ever "in terms of the number of cases and deaths as well as geographical spread," WHO said.
"Drastic action is needed," the UN agency stressed in a statement, warning of the danger that the virus could jump to other countries.
Earlier this week, medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) also said the outbreak of the virus, which is deadly in up to 90 percent of cases, was "out of control".
Since west Africa's first-ever epidemic of the deadly haemorrhagic fever emerged in Guinea in March, WHO has sent in more than 150 experts to help tackle the crisis.
Despite the efforts of the WHO and others, there has been a "significant increase" in the number of cases and deaths reported each day for the past three weeks, it said.
The agency is now "gravely concerned (by) the on-going cross-border transmission into neighbouring countries as well as the potential for further international spread," said WHO's regional director for Africa, Dr. Luis Sambo.
"This is no longer a country specific outbreak but a sub-regional crisis that requires firm action by governments and partners," Sambo warned.
- 'One case can restart epidemic' -
WHO's top Ebola specialist Pierre Formenty told AFP last week the recent surge in cases had come in part because efforts to contain the virus had been relaxed too quickly after the outbreak appeared to slow down in April.
"One case can restart an entire epidemic," he warned, justifying the dramatic measures needed to contain the virus, which spreads through bodily fluids including sweat, meaning you can get sick from simply touching an infected person.
To address the growing crisis, the WHO said Thursday it would convene a meeting of the health ministers from 11 countries in Accra, Ghana on July 2 and 3 "to discuss the best way of tackling the crisis collectively as well as develop a comprehensive inter-country operational response plan."
Ministers from Guinea -- where nearly 400 confirmed, suspected and probable cases have surfaced so far, including 280 deaths -- and Liberia, which counts 63 cases and 41 deaths, will take part in the meeting.
Sierra Leone, which has seen 46 confirmed Ebola deaths, will also be there.
In addition, neighbouring countries Ivory Coast, Mali, Senegal, Guinea Bissau and Gambia, along with Ghana, and countries as far afield as Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Ebola was first detected nearly 40 years ago, have also been invited, WHO said.
A range of UN agencies and other aid organisations including MSF and the Red Cross, as well as the western African, US, British and EU centres for disease control, WHO said.
WHO has described the current epidemic as one of the most challenging since the virus was first identified in 1976 in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
That outbreak, until now the deadliest, killed 280 people, according to WHO figures.
Ebola is a tropical virus that can fell its victims within days, causing severe fever and muscle pain, weakness, vomiting and diarrhoea -- in some cases shutting down organs and causing unstoppable bleeding.
No medicine or vaccine exists for Ebola, which is named after a small river in the DRC.

Over the past three years of writing this column, I've answered many interesting questions about credit cards, credit reporting and credit scores. Sadly, this will be last column as the Credit Card Adviser. My next adventure will be in residential real estate as an agent based in New York.
The good news is you can still get answers to your credit questions. Bankrate credit card reporter Janna Herron will take over the Credit Card Adviser column. Please send her your questions on credit cards and credit scores.
Since so many credit card questions have also dealt with credit scores, I've decided to list my top four lessons about credit.
1. Don't close credit card accounts to improve your credit score. You might have a good reason to shutter your account — you don't want to pay an annual fee, you're concerned about identity fraud, or you want to reduce the temptation to overspend — but don't do it for the sole purpose of raising your credit score.
One factor in your credit score is your utilization, which is the ratio of balances owed compared to the credit limits on revolving accounts such as credit cards. Utilization is calculated for each credit card you have and across all of your cards. The lower your utilization, the better for your credit score. Closing a credit card account that has a zero balance excludes that credit limit from the overall utilization calculation, which can make your utilization increase and in turn, lower your score.
For the same reason, it's also a bad idea to ask for lower credit limits on your credit cards if your goal is to improve your score. Doing so can only push your utilization higher.
Tip: If you must close a credit card account but want to keep your score high, pay down balances on other accounts to mitigate the effect.
2. Paying in full doesn't hide a high credit card balance from your credit score. If you're consistently charging near the credit limit on your credit card but pay the balance in full when each bill arrives, you might be hurting your credit score. That's because your score considers the account balance shown on your credit report. Your credit report will reflect the account balance at the time the issuer supplied it to the credit reporting agency, which will typically be the balance as of your last statement date.
Tip: If you pay in full each month but need to bump your score higher for an upcoming credit check, charge less on your credit cards.
3. Light use of credit cards is best for your credit score. Maxing out your credit cards can obviously have a negative impact on your score. Using the majority of your credit limit is not good, either. Light use of your cards is best. Using 10 percent of your credit limit will be better than using 30 percent, which in turn is better than 50 percent. A small balance is actually slightly better than a zero balance (though it doesn't matter to the score if you actually carry a balance).
Tip: If you need to raise your credit score, look at your monthly billing statements to see how your balances compare to your credit limits. Consider increasing your payments, or if you pay in full, using your credit cards less often.
4. You have more than one credit score. Your credit score depends on the scoring model used to calculate it. There are numerous scoring models in existence such as FICO and VantageScore.
Each model is somewhat different. Score ranges can vary, as will the weight placed on certain categories of credit data. For instance, FICO scores generally range from 300 to 850 and place the most emphasis on the payment history category, which accounts for 35 percent of the score. VantageScore, a model developed jointly by three major credit reporting agencies, also considers payment history to be the most important category, but it's worth slightly less at 32 percent. Its scores range from 501 to 990.
Any given score will consider information from just one credit report. The data on each of your credit reports at the three main credit-reporting agencies — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — can vary and change over time, so your score also can differ from bureau to bureau.
My point is you can't count on the lender seeing the exact same number you see when you check your credit score. The score you pull today may not be the score a lender pulls one month from now.
Tip: If you're trying to build better credit for an upcoming credit check, focus on maintaining good credit habits (paying bills on time, paying down card balances, etc.) and keeping your credit reports accurate, and not on which score the lender may be using. When checking your own score, look at the reason your score isn't higher.
5. Your credit score doesn't actually change. That is, your score doesn't really increase or decrease because it's calculated fresh each time you, a lender or business requests it. Don't take my word for it. FICO's consumer affairs manager, Barry Paperno, explained in a recent Q-and-A with Bankrate that "scores are calculated each time they're requested, as opposed to being calculated and stored somewhere and then retrieved."
Your score is merely a snapshot of your credit behavior. A smarter way to think about score improvement is to concentrate on actions and habits that will result in a higher credit score in the future. For example, paying down card balances will change the balances on your credit report, and a new score would reflect those lower balances.
Tip: Your score isn't being looked at every day, so there's no benefit to micromanaging it. Focus on long-term habits that will improve your score over time, and check your credit reports periodically for accuracy. Building good credit is a marathon, not a sprint.

Skip to 0 minutes and 12 seconds There are two ideas that summarize the thinking of Ramon Llull: movement and interaction. In a certain way, this extraordinary man of the fourteenth century, between the thirteenth and the fourteenth century who wrote more than 260 books in Catalan, in Latin and in Arabic, conceived reality as a set of constantly connected elements. For him, the principle of this reality was God. But what God meant for Ramon Llull? A principle of interacting; the relationship between God himself and men, and between men and the various elements of creation,
Skip to 0 minutes and 50 seconds and the different stages or levels of existence: stones, angels, plants, metals… To be able to explain the complex relationships of such rich and broad thinking we are at the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB), which has prepared an exhibition entitled "The thinking machine. Ramon Llull and the Ars combinatoria". Why the Ars Combinatoria? The Ars combinatoria is the language that includes the method that makes us understand how these elements of reality are interrelated. To my right is the first volume of the complete works of Ramon Llull in Latin, published in Germany in 1724. Why in Germany? Over the centuries, Lullism became a school of thought in Europe with both admirers and detractors.
Skip to 1 minute and 44 seconds But Ramon Llull's thinking interested mathematicians, scientists, theologians and philosophers. This first volume by Ramon Llull is introduced by an ink engraving, in which we see two beams of light.
Skip to 2 minutes and 4 seconds Symbolically, they are the light of grace and the light of reason: precisely the great theme of medieval philosophy and, especially, of the thinking of Ramon Llull. That is to say, it is not necessary to sacrifice intellect to understand the great mysteries of Christian theology, such as the dogmas of the incarnation and the trinity. Other philosophers of the time, such as Thomas Aquinas, however, believed that the incarnation and the trinity could not be understood intellectually, that is, the entire conceptual apparatus could not be used to understand them. This is not the case of Llull. Llull dignified intellect because he believed that everything could be understood rationally.
The light of grace and the light of reason
This video highlights the notions of movement and interaction in Lullian thinking.
The ars combinatoria can be thought of as a language that includes this system of interaction between elements. In this system, God is the connecting principle.
The diagram in Salzinger's edition of Llull's work, which you can see in the video, shows the reconciliation between faith and reason as two beams of light.

Are you sick and tired of crashing in the afternoon? Is the vending machine pulling you into an abyss of processed, sodium laden junk? Do you fall asleep in the afternoon even if your have a stimulating profession or at least are not bored?
Why is it important to eat "healthy" snacks? Why don't candy bars, chips and soda cut it when it comes to refueling in the afternoon? They may temporarily fill you up but they are devoid of nutrients and filled with empty calories. Consuming soda and candy temporarily raises your blood sugar only to have it crash shortly thereafter, making you hungrier. For more on foods that raise blood sugar (have a higher glycemic load) check out the chart in the below link.
Now that you know that chips, soda and candy aren't the best options what is left to eat when your itching for a little snack? Time for some snack makeovers!
1.) Potato Chips/Pretzels – Potato chips are highly processed and loaded with fat and salt. Although pretzels have a lower fat content they are still loaded with sodium and raise blood sugar since they are simple carbohydrates.
Makeover – Whole grain crackers or brown rice cakes. Whole grains contain more fiber than refined grains which fortify the body with B vitamins and make you feel fuller for longer. Add some peanut butter, tzatziki sauce or organic cheese to your snack for a tasty treat.
2.) Candy & Protein bars – Don't believe the hype! Snickers doesn't satisfy you. Sorry Betty White! We still love you… When you consume candy bars you are eating sugar, trans fats and fillers that are not easily processed by the body. Protein bars may seem like a "healthier" option but they are just candy bars with added protein. Even if some of them have less calories and sugar, read the ingredients. Many of them have artificial flavors, fillers and (GASP!) high fructose corn syrup! Check out the link below for why high fructose corn syrup is making people fat.
Makeover – Granola/Toasted Muesli Bars – Look for the varieties with whole grains and the least amount of ingredients. They are a delicious, sweet and fiber rich alternative to candy bars without all the sugar. Some granola bars have chocolate or cocoa nibs in them if you're craving something chocolatey.
3.) Candy/Lollies – For obvious reasons candy is not a health food. It's fun to indulge once in a while but it doesn't make a satisfying afternoon snack. Candy may give you quick energy but you will crash like an engine that has run out of the wrong kind of fuel.
Makeover – Fresh or dried fruit is a wonderful alternative. You still get the intense sweetness without processed sugar and tons of vitamins. Why not make your own trail mix of raisins, dried cranberries, almonds, cashews and cocoa nibs for a satisfying treat?
4.) Frappuccino – At almost 700 calories per serving this intensely sweet and caffeinated drink is better off as an occasional treat rather than your afternoon staple. What do you do when you want something cold and creamy?
Makeover – Try an iced vanilla latte instead or an iced coffee without the sugar if you dare. You can also try mixing some instant coffee in vanilla yogurt for that creamy coffee taste.
For more healthy snack options check out the below link from Dr. Andrew Weil.
Happy snacking!

Candidiasis of the skin
Candidiasis of the skin is a very common infection. Candidiasis is often caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans, which is a yeast. The fungus causes a red rash on the skin, which may be itchy or crusty. This fungus is the same fungus that can cause oral thrush and vaginal infections.
The infection can be on any part of the body, but it is usually found in warm and moist areas. The most common places are armpits, groin, under the breast, and between fingers and toes. If the infection is also in the nails, nails may look discolored or thicker than normal. Individuals may also experience another infection in the nail bed called paronychia, which makes the nail bed red, hot, and pus-filled.
Anyone can develop candidiasis of the skin, but it is more common in individuals who are overweight. People with diabetes may have a higher chance of getting the infection if their blood sugar is not well controlled. Taking antibiotics can increase your chances of getting candidiasis of the skin. Those with weakened immune systems may also experience widespread infection.
Doctors can make a diagnosis by examining the rash and possibly taking a small sample for testing. Good hygiene and keeping the affected skin dry and exposed to the air can help relieve the infection. There are also several over-the-counter ointments and medications that can treat the infection. Candidiasis of the skin can often reappear after it is treated. If you believe that you have candidiasis of the skin, it is best to consult your doctor about your treatment options.

So you want to build a small home server to host your files, stream media or host a Minecraft Server but you want to keep the cost as low as possible. I recently decided to build myself a small home server limiting myself to the lowest budget possible. $300. Here is my guide on how to build a small home server for approximately $300.
AMD Sempron 3850
We start off first with AMD's low-cost AM1 platform that give us plenty of power for a cheap price. The lowest of the low of AMD's product line is the Sempron series. The AM1 platform offers us the Sempron 2650 and the 3850. The reason for choosing the 3850 over the 2650 is that the 3850 gives us 4 cores instead of 2. This is especially important for servers as they require more cores for better processing efficiency. $43~
AsRock AM1H-ITX
The AM1 platform is relatively new and so it may be difficult to find motherboards that support that new platform. Since I'm building a home server I wanted to keep the computer as small as possible. I opted for a Mini-ITX motherboard (and I'll explain why later) instead of the regular Micro-ATX size. The AsRock has a wide range of support for video output and up to 16GB of RAM. Note that the motherboard only supprots 25W CPUs, so make sure when you upgrade, you get the right one! $73~
Kingston KVR13N9S8/4 4GB(1X 4GB) DDR3-1333MHZ
Kingston are known for their cheap and reliable RAM. Other good alternatives are Corsair and G.Skill (although they might be a bit more expensive). I chose using a single 4GB stick because the CPU only supports single channel memory (with two lanes). It will be pointless to buy dual-channel RAM as it isn't supported. Hence, by using a single 4GB stick, you have the option to upgrade to 8GB in the future. $45~
In the world of hard drives, there's really only three companies you can choose from: Hitachi (Toshiba), Seagate or Western Digital. They are all priced really similar but it comes down to personal preference. I went with the Western Digital 500GB hard disk as WD are known for their quality and reliability. The Blue series are suited for everyday use and is sufficient for a home server. Of course, you do have the option to go with the higher-end stuff (Black and Red series). $54~
CoolerMaster RC-110 Mini ITX
The reason why I went for a Mini-ITX motherboard before was because I was going for a small, compact home server. CoolerMaster provides the cheapest Mini-ITX cases on the market. This little thing is only 26cm wide and 20cm high. It can probably fit nicely underneath your workdesk easily. The CoolerMaster RC-110 is the smallest of the series but it allows up to 3 HDDs, or 4 SSDs! It also has a fron 12cm fan for cooling and optional sidefans. Perfect was a home server! $45~
Antec 350W Basiq ATX Power Supply
The CoolerMaster case doesn't come with a power supply and so you are forced to find one. The good thing is that the CoolerMaster case uses the standard ATX power supply so it's not hard to find one. The Antec 350W is the basics of the basics and reliable for the brand. You could get your server even cheaper by going for the generic power supplies but I wouldn't recommend it. $43~
Well there you have it. A cheap self-built home server. Of course, you can choose to use it as a HTPC (media PC) but it's up to you. The total cost of this build comes as exactly AU$303. Depending on where you are and where you get your parts from it may differ slightly. But for me, I think it's a great build and perfect as a server.

After 23 seasons, The Simpsons have had quite a few guest stars appear on the program. At this point it'd probably be easier to name the celebrities who haven't lent their voice talents to the show. With every passing year, it seems as if more and more of the plots are driven by folks who are stopping by to do a one-off character, although there's always the possibility that stars will come back again to reprise their roles.
The season premiere of The Simpsons, which will air this Sunday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. on FOX, is no different. This time, singer and actress Zooey Deschanel will be playing a folk-singing love interest for Bart. Despite his best attempts to interject with rap lyrics, she gently lets him know that her sweet and ditzy tune isn't that kind of song.
Deschanel is extremely multi-talented and has been very busy lately. She also appears on FOX, heading up the cast of her show New Girl, which will return for its second season this fall. Additionally, she's received acclaim for roles in films like (500) Days of Summer (opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Deschanel also has a blossoming musical career after collaborating with indie musician M. Ward. Check out her latest tune on The Simpsons below.

Every Saturday on our way to Kumon and back home again, Little Yum-Yum and I pass this sculpture.
Not quite sure what it's supposed to be, but it now sits where a lovely water fountain used to be. I remember it being there when I was going to school, so I'm not sure why it has been decided to replace it. Maybe to save on water, as Londoners are once again, on a hosepipe ban.
Max being Max is curious about pretty much any and everything, so actually went up to it to touch it on this occasion. Unfortunately, there is no write up about it, so I cannot say what it's supposed to be.
One thing Max and I really do love about London, are the random things which seem to pop up out of nowhere!

People use the Cloud without even thinking twice; whether it is to upload a file to a Google Drive, listen to the latest song on Spotify, or access a banking account from a phone. TriStar and PTC are seeing customers take advantage of cloud PLM. Seven out of ten of the largest PLM deals at PTC last year were in the Cloud!
While the benefits of PLM Cloud are widely understood, the question is evolving from "why" to "how do I get there."
If you are utilizing a software solution on-premise and you've been tapped to develop your cloud strategy… explore these Three Keys to Consider When Exploring the 'HOW.'
I want to move PLM Cloud… now what?
First, it's important understand the process to get there. According to a recent CIMdata report , the top concerns for PLM users are integration with other enterprise systems, security risks, and performance; having experts by your side and a clear plan of action, timeline and steps ensures your cloud migration is done quickly, securely and cost efficiently. There are a few standard actions in the cloud migration process such as porting your application to the cloud, exporting and migrating your data, and validating the system these must be done properly. Trying to do it alone or move yourself to a hosted option, can put you and your company at risk of security breaches, limited availability, an underperforming software solution, or blowing out your deadlines due to roadblocks. Finding the right partner that offers end-to-end capabilities will allow your organization to not only move the Cloud effectively but scale for your future business needs.
I know where I want to go, I have a map to get there, how do I optimize?
When considering how to optimize the whole experience of moving to the Cloud. The decisions you make in the early stages, i.e. using a Cloud Migration Service, determining your business objectives, do we really need those customizations, etc. will have lasting impacts on your long-term cloud success. It's important to address your organizational goals for why you're moving and how you are moving before you take the first step. It helps to utilize cloud experts that have assisted customers just like you- think of them as your GPS to keep you on track.
To SaaS or not to SaaS? That is the final question.
Before you decide to move to the Cloud, the last decision is how you want to license or pay for your solution based on cost, security and your specific business needs. If you are using a current software solution that is customized to your company's needs, a managed service or hosted option may be your best bet; however, keep in mind that customizations make software upgrades and changes more difficult, and managed service are usually handled with two different fee structures—your subscription license for software and managed service/hosting fee. If you are utilizing the application out-of-the-box and configuring it to your needs, that simplifies the licensing, pricing and upgrade process and SaaS would be for you.
Learn more about how to make the move to PLM Cloud and putting the five cloud migration steps into action or contact a PTC Cloud Expert today. For customers that are currently utilizing PTC Windchill on-premise, you can flip the switch using the Cloud Migration Service for PLM that is an easy five-step process to getting your PLM solution in the Cloud. Ask about getting an assessment to get a customized report on what your cloud migration will look like and recommendations to expedite the process. CONTACT US

Baked Cheesy Chicken Dippers
Prep Time:10 mins, Cook Time: 20 mins, Total Time: 30 mins
February 5, 2018
Bit of a fave here at Eat Your Veg HQ. And genuinely a cinch to make, and a quick mid-week made-in-mins cinch at that. If your children are partial to chicken nuggets then this IS the recipe for you. So soooo much healthier than anything nuggety and you can use real chicken breast, and preferably real free range chicken breast. Being baked and not fried they're a good deal less fatty too.
Do get the kids making these themselves, about ten minutes from weighing out to oven ready. Admittedly it'll be ten messy minutes and you'll have a clogged up sink afterwards. And an eggy flour splattered floor. But it will be worth it. A dinner kids can easily make entirely themselves is highly satisfying for them and for you, and gives bags of confidence in the cooking department.
Chicken Breast, Cheese
Great For:
Little Kids, Big Kids, Grown Ups, Family Dinners, Mid-Week Dinners, Chicken Nugget Fanatics, Making with Kids, Learning to Cook
Delicious eaten with homemade potato wedges or chips (ordinary or sweet potato) and salad or veggies.
Special Equipment:
Baked Cheesy Chicken Dippers
Ingredients Prep Time:10 mins, Cook Time: 20 mins, Total Time: 30 mins
To make plenty for a family of 4:
3 chicken breasts, preferably free range
2 heaped tablespoons flour
2 eggs, preferably free range
1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
60g dried breadcrumbs (bought or homemade)
30g Parmesan or Grana Padano Cheese, finely grated
1 dessertspoon olive oil for greasing
1. Preheat your oven to 200ºc / 180ºc for a fan oven / Gas Mark 6.
2. Slice each of the chicken breasts into 6 long strips. Set aside. Wash your hands thoroughly.
3. Place the flour in a flat bottomed bowl. Crack the eggs into another bowl and lightly whisk with a fork, whisk through the mustard.
4. Weigh out the breadcrumbs and place in a third bowl. Weigh out the cheese and finely grate. Add to the breadcrumbs and mix together.
5. Grease a small baking tray with the oil.
6. Now to make the Dippers. Dip each chicken strip in the flour and move around until evenly coated. Then dip in the beaten egg, then the breadcrumb mix, ensuring an even coating of each.
7. Repeat with all the strips and place on the baking tray.
8. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning the dippers over half way through the cooking time.

You finally made the decision to get a car trailer. For years, you've been borrowing a friend's hauler, but no more. You're self-sufficient — and the new best friend to many without a trailer. But as great as your new trailer is, you learned the hard way it needs a few things. Might I suggest some lighting to help you strap your car down if it's a late night at the track? And, nobody wants to think about it, but what if you or a buddy's car breaks down and you need a winch? That's why you need to give thought to a top-quality trailer battery.
Having a few battery-operated accessories can really make a trailer much more user friendly. But how do you install these accessories? And, once they are installed, how do you power them? When it comes to accessories, the sky's the limit. In regards to powering those upgrades with a trailer battery, we got help from the folks at Optima Batteries.
The second previously mentioned scenario entered an evening in my life after I purchased a car trailer. I hadn't given much thought to improving the trailer — it's a trailer — you load the car and then unload the car. However, I was forced to give it some thought when a friend called and asked me to help him get his car home. It wouldn't start, and I am less expensive than a tow truck.
The first obstacle we had to overcome was actually getting the car on the trailer. We are both carrying a few years under our belts and learned that pushing a car onto a trailer was no longer as easy as it used to be. Also, even with the help of a flashlight, strapping the car to the trailer was harder than it needed to be.
These small inconveniences are easy to overcome, but mounting a winch and a few lights, selecting a battery, and mounting said battery needed to be addressed. Where to mount the battery isn't a hard decision, but you really need to know what battery you need so you also know what provisions to make to actually accommodate mounting it.
Choose Your Trailer Battery Wisely
Not all batteries are created equal. A typical battery that you find in a car (Starting Battery) is designed to simply start the engine. That's the only real draw on the battery's "juice." Once the engine is running, the battery charge is then maintained with the help of the alternator. This type of battery must be able to deliver a large starting current for a short period of time. Once the engine finally starts, the alternator takes over and provides all the power the car needs. For this reason, a car battery may go through its entire life without ever experiencing more than a 10-percent loss of its total capacity.
If a starting battery is used as a trailer battery and allowed to experience a deep discharge many times, its lifespan is drastically shortened. Starting batteries are rated in Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). CCA is the number of amps the battery can deliver at an ambient temperature of 0 degrees, for a period of 30 seconds, and not drop below 7.2 volts.
Properly Maintaining A Charge
Maintaining a battery is paramount to it lasting for many years. While a traditional charger can charge your Optima, it can also damage it. Many people aren't sure what constitutes the difference between a battery maintainer and a charger. The main thing to remember is a battery charger sends a constant charge to the battery. While charging, it might not realize the battery is fully charged, and continue forcing a charge. This means it's possible to overcharge the battery with a charger — which can result in damage to the battery.
A battery maintainer on the other hand, can sense how much charge the battery needs and can slowly send a trickle charge to the battery over a period of time. Once the battery has reached a full charge, it stops charging. In other words, a battery maintainer will not overcharge a battery like a traditional charger can. This can help extend the life of the battery.
Optima has two battery charger/maintainers: The Digital 1200 and the Digital 400. The Digital 1200's battery-maintaining function is perfect for long-term storage. The Digital 400 is a compact unit that will not only charge and maintain your battery, it can also recover deeply discharged batteries that other chargers can't. Both chargers are compatible for use in automotive, truck, marine, motorcycle, lawn and garden, and RV applications.
A deep-cycle battery is rated by amp hours (Ah). The Ah rating denotes how many amps the battery can deliver for how many hours before it is discharged. The standard rating is an amp rating taken for 20 hours. In other words, a 100 Ah rated battery is defined as such: Draw 5 amps from the battery for 20 hours, and it will provide a total of 100 amp hours (5 x 20 = 100).
However, it's important to understand the total time of discharge and load applied is not a linear. In other words, as your load increases, your realized capacity decreases. For example, if you discharged the same 100 Ah battery with a 100 amp load, it will not give you one hour of run time. Another rating to consider is Reserve Capacity (RC). This is the number of minutes (at 80-degrees ambient temperature) the battery can deliver 25 amps until it drops below 10.5 volts.
Deep Draws Call For Deep Cycle
If you take into account any winch being installed on any trailer will be a big draw on the battery, it stands to reason that a deep cycle's ability to supply power for a longer period of time makes it the obvious choice over a starting battery's high initial-power output which quickly dissipates.
Optima makes two deep-cycle batteries: BLUETOP and YELLOWTOP. According to the Optima website, the YELLOWTOP is best suited when electrical loads are higher than average, or when the discharge cycle is more than that of typical engine starting. These are well-suited for use as trailer batteries, in RVs, and vehicles without alternators. This also includes vehicles with significant electrical loads which may exceed the average alternator output (for example, aftermarket audio systems, winches, snowplows, inverters, and drag race cars). This can also include vehicles with a lot of electronics from the factory, such as a minivan with power sliding doors and a DVD player, especially if the DVD player is used when the engine isn't running.
There are actually two BLUETOP batteries. One has a dark case, which is classified as a marine battery. This is a starting battery. It should never be used for cycling duty. There is a dual-purpose BLUETOP with a light-gray case that can be used for both starting and deep cycling. This one is a true deep-cycle battery with extremely high cranking power. The BLUETOP batteries have both
For my trailer, I decided to utilize the BLUETOP (D31M) with the light-gray case. I installed this one because I can also use it as a "jump-start" battery if needed. Optima considers this a high-performance AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery for prolonged usage times, and it offers more available recharges than you'd get out of a traditional battery. It also has both automotive and stud-mount capabilities. With 900 CCA and a 75 Ah rating, this should make the perfect battery for jump starting, using a winch, a few trailer-mounted lights, and at least one portable trouble light that I can use while at the track or wherever.
A Battery For Every Situation
Optima's REDTOP is a starting battery that can be used in most vehicles (cars, trucks, some machinery), for normal engine starting. When using a REDTOP battery, an alternator should be part of the system to monitor and maintain the state of charge.
The YELLOWTOP battery is a deep-cycle battery that can be used in cars when electrical loads are higher than average. This is a great option when the discharge cycle is more than typical engine starting (vehicles without alternators). This also includes vehicles with high electrical loads that may exceed the average alternator's output (i.e., drag cars).
The BLUETOP with a dark gray case is a dual-purpose marine battery to be used when a dedicated starting battery is required. It should never be used for cycling duty (i.e., running accessories and not being recharged while used). If you have accessories that need to be running while no recharge is occurring, the dual-purpose BLUETOP with a light gray case can be used for both starting and deep cycling. It is a true deep-cycle battery with extremely high cranking power.
The difference between The BLUETOP and YELLOWTOP deep-cycle batteries, is the BLUETOP has both automotive (SAE) posts and threaded studs. The YELLOWTOP (except D31T) only have SAE-style terminals.
If you ever get confused about the colored tops of Optima Batteries, just remember: if it has a dark gray case, then it's a starting battery; if it has a light gray case, then it's a deep-cycle (dual-purpose) battery.
Now that the trailer has the Optima battery, winch, and enough accessory lighting to do whatever I need, making another late-night recovery of a friend's car will no longer leave me tired from pushing, or frustrated from strapping the car down in the dark — literally.

Seattle-based BuddyTV, a TV community site, is being acquired by Comcast (NSDQ: CMCSA), paidContent.org has learned from sources. BuddyTV took a loan of $250K from the Charles River Ventures' Quick Start Seed Funding program back in May, before taking a $2.8 million investment from Gemstar-TV Guide this summer. The site competes with a wide range of TV-related blogs and communities, but co-founder Andy Liu told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer this summer that the site was receiving 3 million uniques per month and that it now has 20 employees. It seems likely that BuddyTV will be used in conjunction with Comcast's Fancast.com site, as well as Fandango, which it acquired in the earlier this year. No word yet on the size of the deal…BuddyTV denied it first and then didn't respond to further queries, and Comcast PR had no comment.
Comcast recently launched its new TV info and community site Fancast, so BuddyTV would probably be integrated into the new site.
