Sweden Bans Christmas Street Lights; Security Measure…or Something Else?
Infowars.com is reporting on a rather startling development in Sweden, wherein the Swedish Transport Administration has made the decision to ban cities from erecting Christmas lights on any utility poles managed by the agency. One of the consequences of that move is that some towns will see no Christmas lights whatsoever on their most prominent thoroughfares.
According to the Administration, the reason why the lights are no more is, simply, "security."
Clarifying what is meant by "security," Eilin Isaksson, the Swedish Transport Administration's national coordinator, said,
"Poles are not designed for the weight of Christmas lights, and we have to remove anything that should not be there."
Does that justification strike anyone else as being, well, a little goofy?
It sure strikes Infowars.com writer Paul Joseph Watson that way, who writes that the "argument that the lights are too heavy and pose a safety risk sounds like complete baloney."
OK, good; it wasn't just me.
Watson goes on, saying, "Swedes are being asked to believe that lights normally held up by tree branches are now too weighty to be supported by metal poles."
He next gets to what he believes is really at the heart of the matter, writing, "Despite there being no safety issue with the street lights for decades, this new rule has been instituted right after record numbers of Muslim migrants flooded into the country – just a coincidence I'm sure."
And there it is – an accusation that the Christmas lights ban is based on an insanely-applied standard of political correctness.
Is Watson right? I don't know, but let's put it this way: the whole "lights are suddenly too heavy for metal poles" justification seems awfully…curious.
Don't you think?

A comparative genomic study of double-strand break repair in maize and rice
Lu, Fang
MetadataShow full item record
Double-strand break (DSB) repair is essential for cell survival and for the maintenance of genome integrity. In this study, we utilized I-Sce I, an endonuclease from yeast with an 18-bp recognition site to introduce DSB in maize and rice cells. We then employed PCR to characterize the inaccurate repair events that removed the I-Sce I recognition site. Of 82 and 84 inaccurate repair events characterized in maize and rice, more than 72% inaccurate repairs were associated with deletions. Of the deletion repairs, small deletions (1-9 nucleotides) happened more frequently than large deletions. The sequences flanking these deletions and insertions have the hallmarks of illegitimate recombination. These results are compatible with models suggesting that inaccurate repair of DSBs is the major factor responsible for the rapid removal of unselected DNA from higher plant genomes. The sizes of inaccurate repairs are not necessarily associated with genome size variation in monocot species.

Well Siggraph 2014 has been and gone, what a blast!
It was so great to hang with the Maxon crew and all of the talented artists that came along to present their work. Not only were they an incredibly creative and skilled bunch, but also some of the nicest people you could meet. If you didn't get to see the presentations live then they will be posted online at c4dlive.
The helloluxx t-shirts were so popular that they were all gone before demand was reached. Due to the number of requests we've had for t-shirts, we've decided to re-print a limited run. I'll post on twitter as soon as they're ready for order.
Siggraph had plenty more to offer than the exhibition floor, there are countless talks and papers on emerging technology and a very inspiring art gallery with some great work from around the globe.
As an example, this crazy structure pictured below was built from 250 individual computers, all connected to a database of Vancouver trees, as the user searches for a specific tree the various computers physically push outwards from the structure to show they're working and then return to their resting position after serving up the results.
We also visited the Vancouver Art Gallery to check out the Douglas Coupland exhibition and some of the recent acquisitions. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town.
This piece (pictured below) from Lost In The Memory Palace was intriguing, a bunch of speakers arranged on a surface which interactively played audio based on the proximity of your shadow to the speakers.
Of course some of the best times were had when we were all nerding out about Cinema 4D and 3D in general. The artists present were an inspiration and I felt honoured to be amongst them. As you might imagine, we sampled the local brews and much fun was had, including an introduction to the delicious pickleback!
Here you can see Nick Campbell and Casey Hupke perform an impromptu duet on a homeless piano one evening…
This artwork is a rare and fine example from one of Vancouver's street artists, left to right — Nick Campbell, Fleur Clapham, Tim Clapham, Patrick Goski, M Dot Strange.
Thank you Maxon for such a fantastic trip, hope to see you all again next time…

Beyond R-CHOP: treatment of double hit, tripple hit, MYC + NHL?
- Zeitschrift:
- memo - Magazine of European Medical Oncology > Ausgabe 1/2015
Double hit (DH) are defined as MYC and BCL2 or/and BCL6 coexpressing B-cell lymphomas. Morphologically they are found in the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or in the group of B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features between DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma (BCLU). Approximately 5–10 % of DLBCLs and BCLUs are DH lymphomas according to fluorescence in situ hybridization, the percentage rises to 30 %, if protein overexpression is detected by immunohistochemistry. Treatment with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone seems to be insufficient. However, for more intensive regimens and/or high-dose therapy with stem cell rescue conflicting results exist. Clinical trials with novel therapies are urgently needed.

My soul is a seer Who has seen in the skies The constellations beginning to rise. And the thunderstorm fly like a bird.
So wrote the Russian poet Velimir Khlebnikov on the eve of his death in 1922. Khlebnikov was part of an active avant-garde circle of writers. Khlebnikov called himself a "futurian". Khlebnikov had a strong sense of what Russia could bring to the modern world despite the hardships that the 1917 Revolution and the First World War had brought to the avant-garde. In 1920 he wrote:
Russia, I give you my divine white brain. Be me. Be Khlebnikov. I have sunk a foundation deep in the minds of your people. I have laid down an axis, I have built a house on a firm foundation. We are Futurians.
The Futurian group produced most of its work from 1910 until the start of the First World War and then was scattered by the War and the Revolution. The group which included the spiritually-inclined painter Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) who was inspired by the paintings of Henri Matisse which existed in private collections in Moscow, but basically the group found its inspiration in the native art of Russian folklore — folklore which had a wisdom beyond intellect. In his essay "On Poetry" Khlebnikov wrote "If we think of the soul as split between the government of intellect and a stormy population of feelings, then incantations and beyondsense language are appeals over the head of the government straight to the population of feelings, a direct cry to the predawn of the soul."
Yet Khlebnikov does not fit into any one school or trend. His work explores a unique broad terrain. He was among the great innovators of literary modernism. He blurred the distinction between verse and prose. He made use of patterns from folklore and chants, incantations and shamanistic language. In addition to poems and plays, stories and essays, he wrote political and artistic manifestos, essays on history, architecture, and social problems, literary theory, and journalistic pieces on current events. His passion for internationalism in politics and the arts prompted him to envisage a world-wide brotherhood of creative scientists, writers, and thinkers dedicated to understanding nature and to counteracting all the social evils fostered by political leaders.
Khlebnikov, who died when he was 36, is in many ways a short-lived Walt Whitman whom he much admired. "Attentively I read the springtime thoughts of the Divinity in designs on the speckled feet of tree-toads, Homer shaken by the awful wagon of a great war, the way a glass shakes at the passing of a wagon. I have the same Neanderthal skull, the same curving forehead as you, old Walt."
Khlebnikov's "O Garden of Animals" is directly influenced by Whitman:
"O Garden of Animals,Where iron bars seem like a father who stops a bloody fight to remind his sons they are brothers; Where a clean-shaven soldier throws dirt at a tiger, all because the tiger is greater.Where a camel knows the essence of Buddhism, and suppresses a Chinese smile; Where I search for new rhythms, whose beats are animals and men.
Like Whitman, Khlebnikov was an innovator of language and form. At first sight, his poetry was considered anarchic and destructive of accepted rules. Khlebnikov wanted a clear break with the past. As he wrote in 1916 as the war ground on "Old Ones, you are holding back the fast advance of humanity; you are preventing the boiling locomotive of youth from crossing the mountain that lies in its path. We have broken the locks and see what your freight cars contain: tombstones for the young." He saw himself as a creator of new forms that would penetrate below the surface of phenomena and give a new art that might change the human condition. As we look more deeply at his writings, we see the metaphysical structure of order behind the innovative lines. His break with the past was to discover the true laws of nature. This passionate belief in the sovereignty of a lawful nature gave Khlebnikov a great intellectual freedom in the pursuit of its boundless variety, in poetry and in the various languages he devised for poetry. It removed the constraints of common forms and opened words to the wide prospects enjoyed by natural objects, while making them subject to the deep scrutiny of analytic dissection. Khlebnikov was thus able to proceed to the work of the poet with the methodological precision of the scientist and to partake of the passion of both. To unite mankind into harmony with the universe — that was Khlebnikov's vocation. He wanted to make Planet Earth fit for the future, to free it from the deadly gravitational pull of everyday lying and pretence, from the tyranny of petty human instincts and the slow death of comfort and complacency. He wanted to transform the World through the Word. As he wrote "I solemnly urge all artists of the future to keep exact spiritual records, to think of themselves as the sky and to keep exact notes on the rising and setting of their spiritual stars."
Khlebnikov's metaphysics are largely Taoist, more likely a rediscovery of the workings of yin and yang than a conscious influence of Chinese philosophy although he had a wide knowledge of Slavic and Indian mythology and a general interest in Asia.
In a wry little poem of 1914, he describes concisely the underlying principle of his view of history, the idea of an equilibrium produced by the shift from positive to negative states:
The law of the see-saw argues That your shoes will be loose or tight That the hours will be day or night, And that the ruler of earth the rhinoceros Or us.
We find the same sense of the working of equilibrium in a section of "The Song of One Comes to Confusion":
These tenuous Japanese shadows, These murmuring Indian maidens, Nothing sounds so mournful As words at this last supper. Death — but first life flashes past Again: unknown, unlike, immediate. This rule is the only rhythm For the dance of death and attainment.
Death came too soon. 1913 had been a high point of cooperation among the Cubo-Futurists when they staged the opera "Victory over the Sun". The music was by Mikhail Matiushin (1861 -1934) with the sets and costumes by Kazimir Malevich and the prologue by Khlebnikov. War, revolution, civil war and exile broke up these creative groups. Although they were unable to create the future they had envisaged, the ideas are powerful beacons and can still reach a wider audience. To unite mankind into harmony with the universe is still central to the world citizens goals.

I saw a lot of cottonwood. Perhaps our Alaskan cottonwood is a little different but I don't have an issue with warping or twisting. It seems to stay pretty flat through the drying process. I have cut it for paneling, cabinets, structural lumber, sheathing, rig mats and beams. I even floored my wood shed with it. We don't have a lot of options in south central Alaska for timber. Spruce, birch and cottonwood. Right now with the massive beetlekill spruce problem, it's sometimes difficult to get spruce that will make 2x material that isn't severely cracked or showing some dry rot. I put a pretty big cottonwood log on the LT15 yesterday. I'm prepping to pour a slab for the sawmill shed and needed some form boards and a long screed board. I need some 24' 2x6s for trusses later so cut mostly that from the log. I ended up with 16 24' 2x6s, 2 20' 2x10s and 2 16' 2x6s from the log. 18" on the small end and 22" on the big end. It was everything my 37 horse Branson wanted to pick up. I have a 1500 pound three point hitch counter weight and needed every ounce of it. I'll cut the rest of the form boards this week. I retired Friday and am looking forward to making a lot more sawdust and enjoying the autumn years with Etta. Here's a few pics.This log really put a strain on the Armstrong log turner.

Moral reasoning is the ability to judge the difference between what is right and wrong. The ability to do what is right and wrong is influenced by individual's beliefs and the situations. We can either be motivated by care or justice according to the two famous scholars of moral reasoning, Kohlberg and Gilligan. Kohlberg's perspective is justice oriented; in fact he carried out his earlier research exclusively on boys, before incorporating girls. He was inspired by Piaget's stages of moral development, and for the first stage (Pre conventional stage) he concludes that younger children do the right thing because of fear of punishment. Kohlberg's last stage of moral development concludes that older people reason with regard to the social contracts, individual and universal principles.
Gilligan, on the other hand, was a student of Kohlberg, but she came up with a different theory to deal with the issue of moral reasoning. She added a feminine perspective to moral reasoning, for one, the people she interviewed were female. She wanted to support her perspective that women reason with regard to care, love and maintaining good relationships. Gilligan came up with various stages of reasoning, which was inspired by Freud, and for the first stage, the major goal in decision making is individual goals, but one progresses to responsibility for others and self sacrifice.
I use Gilligan perspective mostly in my day to day reasoning. I think morality consists more of care than justice. Reasoning with care is more appropriate when dealing with people. Close people such as friends and family form the basis of our social interactions; they are people who care and want the best for me. If I reason with justice as my main motive, then I will end up ruining the relationship. Friends and family should have the best interests of their loved ones; maybe if care did not exist most parents would have locked up all their teenage children because they tend to disobey a lot.
When we reason with care, we think of what will benefit the whole society and not just for individual needs. We live in a community, in families and in schools. Nobody lives in isolation, when we care for others we live in harmony and in a place where one will help the other in case of a problem. For instance in a school situation, not all students are bright and if the bright student does not help out the poor students, chances are high they will not graduate. No reasonable classmate would be happy if his fellow classmate does not graduate, so he will help him out.
Human beings are to err; sometimes people make honest mistakes or accidents. We cannot deal with certain mistakes as if they are crimes. This is the time that calls for much care despite the fact that we are tempted to think in line of justice. However, we have to reason that at some point we will make a mistake and the same way you treat people is the same way they will treat you.
Gilligan's perspective of care has its weaknesses. First of all it is viewed as a weak perspective; people who reason with Kohlberg's perspective think it is a sign of weakness to care and say that we are too afraid to reason with justice. Another weakness is that people tend to take advantage of people who reason with care. Some do mistakes or take advantage of others because they know that they are caring. In as much as we reason with care, we need to evaluate the situation in order to know when care is necessary and when justice is necessary. Both perspectives are valid and they play a complementary role, only that one has to take the leading role.

We've had a pretty serious breakage result from upgrading from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2. In a nutshell, the change event for the datefield component no longer fires when you blank out the field, and worse, calling getValue() on the field returns the PREVIOUS date selected (and that's also what gets submitted if you do so). Because we have a need for the change event to trigger some logic in all cases in one app we have, this is pretty big for us.
Here's a simple example to demonstrate:
Sequence to follow to replicate under 6.0.2:Code:Ext.onReady(function() { new Ext.Viewport({ items : [ { xtype : "datefield", id : "df", listeners : { change : function() { console.log("change event"); } } }, { xtype : "button", text : "getValue", handler : function() { console.log(Ext.getCmp("df").getValue()); } } ] }); });
- Select a date
- Note the log message indicating change event fired
- Go into the field's textbox part and manually blank out the field
- Note that NO log message results indicating change event fired
- Click the button and note that console message indicates the value that was selected
Now, switch over to 6.0.1 with the same code and you'll see that the change event fires twice, once for setting the date and once for clearing the field, and clicking the button shows null for the field value, as expected.
I notice in the changelog: "EXTJS-20610 Datefield does not fire onchange when selecting date"... that sounds suspiciously like the kind of thing that could have somehow resulted in this problem, or at least it's not a bad guess

But the supplement industry is only loosely regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and a new study is shedding light on just how many of these products contain unapproved and potentially dangerous prescription-strength drugs. Even though the FDA only inspects a small percentage of the supplements sold in the U. every year, the agency issued warnings about 776 different products that contained "undeclared, unapproved pharmaceutical ingredients" between 20, according to the study published this week in JAMA Network Open. Experts have been warning about these problems in the pharmaceutical industry for years, but this is the first time FDA warnings have been quantified to show the extent of the problem. More than 98% of the FDA's warnings over this period pertained to supplements marketed for sexual enhancement, weight loss, or muscle building. Most commonly, the FDA found traces of the drugs sildenafil (the generic name for Viagra); sibutramine (a weight-loss drug that was taken off the market after it was linked to heart attacks and strokes); and synthetic steroids or steroid-like ingredients. SOS Telecom Inc is voluntarily recalling dietary supplements that contain sildenafil. The presence of the PDE-5 inhibitor mean these supplements are unapproved drugs. "This undeclared active ingredient poses a threat to consumers because sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels," the FDA said in a statement. "Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Additionally, the product may cause side effects, such as headaches and flushing."

Calling Home is an audiovisual project based on the personal experience of twin sisters Gema and Mònica del Rey Jordà (Art al Quadrat) who will be separated in the week of the residency. During this period Gema will sojourn in Kassel where she will live Documenta 13 and all the parallel activities. Meanwhile Mònica will remain in Sagunt, their hometown, preparing her PhD thesis on twin artists.
During the time twin sisters correspond daily via online video letters in which they will establish a dialogue leading to new audiovisual works that recount their parallel days. These letters have been the umbilical cord linking the two episodes.

Job History
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned...couldn't concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.
After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it...mainly because it was a so-so job.
Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting.
I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it.
Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn't have the thyme.
I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.
My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.
I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.
Next was a job in a shoe factory - I tried but I just didn't fit in.
I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.
I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.
I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes, but I was fired because I wasn't up to it.
So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.
After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.
My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.
So, then I retired...and found out I was perfect for the job!
...So don't sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied,
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance that tide

DJI this morning announced the latest version of its Manifold onboard drone computer. The second generation device can be programmed for myriad different enterprise purposes, from research to routine inspections.
The Manifold 2 packs either an Intel Core i7 or NVIDIA Jetson TX2, integrating with the built-in sensors on the company's Matrice 210 and 600 series drones. They've also got a variety of ports, including USB, UART and CAN, allowing users to connect multiple devices together for greater processing power.
The system essentially lets the drone do a lot of the necessary processing on-board, allowing for complex tasks, including real-time data and image processing. It can also be used to program the systems to avoid obstacles and fly autonomously in otherwise inaccessible situations, per DJI.
The system is available now via DJI's site, at $1,379 for the Intel version and $1,099 for the NVIDIA. It offers a compelling proposition to companies look to get a bit more from off-the-shelf drones. It's going to be an increasingly key category as more and more look to these technologies for routine inspections and other dull or dangerous jobs requiring a bird's eye view.
Since not every company has the means or know how to create custom drone solutions, many will no doubt be looking to DJI for a more accessible solution.

The Wedding Day Timeline
I thought I would write something about the importance of having a well prepared Wedding Day Timeline. There are so many suppliers and behind the scenes aspects of a wedding to organise and the wedding day should flow seamlessly. When I arrange a wedding planning meeting with my brides, I always prepare for them a Draft Timeline for the photography aspect of their wedding day. Often I prepare this before a meeting and email it to them as well.
Usually (depending on the time of your ceremony) hair and make up for bridal party commences early morning as each bridesmaid's hair and make up can take 45min - 1hr and of course the bride as well. Usually the mother of the bride, plus flower girls will add a little more time. It's a good idea to organise two hair and make up artists if you have a large bridal party.
Photographic Coverage:
Most Wedding Photography Packages that Artistique Wedding Photography on the Central Coast offers, include coverage commencing in the 2.30hrs or so before the Ceremony. I like to usually spend 1.30hrs with the bride and her bridal party. On arrival I get those wedding gown, shoe, bouquet, jewellery, rings, perfume bottle, garter and associated shots. I always check to see what is happening regarding hair and make up and capture those shots as well! Then there are the boys to capture, often getting ready at the same venue, so I can spend a few minutes with them as well. Then photos of the wedding gown as the bride has just put it on, putting it on with assistance of bridesmaids; depending on the bride's personal preference for photographic coverage at this stage. There is then time for bridal portraits, window and mirror reflection and other portraits before I leave for the Ceremony location. I leave for the Ceremony in time to arrive 30mins before scheduled Ceremony start time, that way I have time to capture guest arrival, photos of the groom and groomsmen and greetings. I meet the bridal car 5 minutes before the Ceremony to capture bride arrival, a few portraits before she walks down the aisle.
Most ceremonies will take 20-25mins before the newlyweds are introduced to guests and usually there will be 10mins or so for guests to greet and congratulate them. Many candid photos can be captured here.
Next I capture the newlyweds and bridal party with all of their guests before moving on to the formal family photos for which I will have received from the bride, a photo list for family group combinations, which will most often take 20mins before heading off for formal bridal party photos for which an hour should be allowed, slightly longer if travelling to a couple of locations.
Below I have put together a Draft Timeline based on a Ceremony taking place at 3.00pm.
Draft Wedding Day Timeline:
12.45pm Artistique Wedding Photography arrives at venue for bride getting ready
2.15pm I leave for the Ceremony location (travel time will vary)
2.30pm Capture Groom and Groomsmen and guest arrival
2.55pm Meet bridal car arrival and photos
3.00pm Ceremony
3.25pm Newlyweds introduced to guests and greetings
3.40pm Capture Bridal Party and newlyweds with all guests
3.50pm Announce names of family members required for formal photos
3.55pm Formal family photo group combinations
4.15pm Bridal Party formal photos
5.00pm Reception and guests drinks / canapes
5.15pm Formal bridal party photos conclude and travel to Reception venue
5.25pm Arrive at Reception venue and refresh
5.35pm Bridal party introduced into Reception
The format and timings of the Reception will depend on whether it is a served sit down meal, for which two hours will be required, whether it is a buffet style or a cocktail style. Most often the formal part of the Reception is scheduled early; the speeches, so the Best Man, Groom and others making speeches can relax and party on early in the evening without going over their speeches! The cake cutting is usually after dessert followed by the first dance. I like to take the bride and groom outside for a few minutes just before sunset for a couple of photos in the beautiful light it offers. Then later in the evening in darkness, some beautiful photos with bride and groom backlit. A couple of hours later will be the garter toss and the bouquet throw and then the farewell. A circle farewell will take 15-20mins and an archway 5-10mins.
A well organised, and planned Wedding Day makes for a seamless day where the bride and groom, bridal party and their guests can relax and enjoy this very special time. Good communication with all suppliers is paramount. Artistique Wedding Photography is always happy to advise on timings or even have an obligation free meeting.

Finding the good mechanic is like a treasure,but can be found with perseverance.With the time,training and experience you may learn enough to do all the work by your own.In meanwhile here are some of the tips you can look for All types of bikes repair in India.
EXPERIENCE Your workshop buddy knows a lot about the bikes and would know more than you do. But if you could spend time on your bike do it yourself then you would also get a grip onto minor problems that you face day to day.You alone can rectify if you could analyse the situation with your bike which is minor.All the major work can be done professional services at the workshop as it requires the equipment and tools in right usage .
TRAINING Some of the people are naturally talented and gifted.But it is always recommended for the certified technicians to solve the issues in the bike.They have extensive experience in terms of handling the vehicle in the workshop.
PROFESSIONALISM Some mechanic would like to work on the greed basis but the real ones are professional and would guarantee on their work,keeps the accurate records as well.He is not someone who would be trying the stuff when there is fixing is required.
PERSONALITY There are many bike mechanics who are related to the machines than to the people.The smart workshop people hire who is socially active person to work in the front office while they would stay in the back end office. He is the mechanic at the first and not your friend.

It's been a little while since I've posted anything, so here is a quick update.
I finally pulled the trigger and implemented AMP. All the pages are now Accelerated Mobile Pages. I didn't have to sacrifice anything, but I also didn't spend very much time on the design or presentation. I'll pretend that I was going for a "less is more" approach. Most visitors come from mobile, so they didn't get to see any of the fancy stuff that was only for the desktops. I hope to post more often, they'll be a lot shorter, so come back soon.
I continue to write stuff in PHP, C, JavaScript, and TypeScript. I've been slowly learning Angular and I like it. I've also been toying around with Firebase a bit more lately. Firebase is great for anyone who doesn't want to deal with servers. Cloud Functions are really neat and I hope I get some more time to write something cool.
I might start finding primes again. The math behind it is interesting and educational.

Well, if you are looking to get away and you want a unique summer adventure, look no further than a day trip of whitewater rafting on the Kings River!.
Prior to my first trip, I thought river rafting was only for the adventurers who thrive on adrenaline rushes, and while a Class 5 river may offer that, the Kings River is a Class 3 river that is perfect for beginning to intermediate rafters.
The Kings River is located at the border of Sierra and Sequoia National Forests; it's famous for its long, exhilarating roller coaster- like rapids. The typical season is from May through July but if you plan a trip for March through early June you should keep in mind that it is a natural snowmelt river, and can be very cold at that time. Early season rafters often wear wetsuits, which are available to rent from most tour companies. My experience, great by the way, has only been with Kings River Expeditions but you may be able to find other options searching the internet.
Seriously folks if you have never been white water rafting, treat yourself to the experience. There is nothing like observing nature while floating down a river…
Ok, well maybe the 'we did it' moment after negotiating down a series of rapids is a close second!

Easy Tips To Use When Hiring The Right Tree Services
There are people staying in Ventura and Los Angeles and fro such people, they might need tree services. There are times your trees could be in a poor state, and at such a time, one needs to get the best providers of the tree services.

In the Information Technology (IT) industry, academic achievement and earning potential go hand in hand. Although there is a continuing debate between degree-level achievement and certifications, the answer for most IT professionals is obvious: go for both.
As students learn advanced topics in computer performance and troubleshooting, they will also be introduced to basics of networking and security. Knowing how to assist network engineers and security analysts is helpful for moving up the skill ladder, and the learning framework will prepare students for other CompTIA certifications.
CompTIA Certifications
CompTIA certifications cover industry standards from basic help desk proficiency to server-level and system security expertise. Our academic program prepares you for multiple levels of CompTIA's catalog, allowing you to move up and down the IT ladder and achieve greatness in even niche, high-demand parts of the IT and Computer Science world.
As a Help Desk Technician, you're the first line—and sometimes, the only line—of defense for business, organizations, startups, projects, and even personal clients that need help in the rapidly changing tech world.
The Help Desk department in many large businesses exists as both a place for new technicians to learn the best practices of their trade, as well as a place for veterans to get the high visibility, high demand exposure needed to take the next step in their career.
A+ Certification
For many technicians, the A+ certification is the first step in becoming a professional IT. The certification covers everything that a new technician needs to know in order to perform well in a help desk department, or to make their mark as the sole IT professional in businesses that need skilled and savvy tech leadership.
The certification covers break/fix solutions for today's IT landscape:
- Mobile devices, such as Android, Apple, and Windows smartphones and tablets.
- Desktop computers.
- Laptop computers.
- Routers.
- Modems.
- Switches.
- Hubs.
- Printers.
As students learn advanced topics in computer performance and troubleshooting, they will also be introduced to basics of networking and security. Knowing how to assist network engineers and security analysts is helpful for moving up the skill ladder, and the learning framework will prepare students for other CompTIA certifications.
(CASP) Certification
The CASP certification steps away from security management and into security policies, techniques, and theory to make a bigger impact on the tech world.
As an advanced option for Security+ and other standard security options, advanced security professionals will learn how to create the policies that protect systems across the world. The ability to dig deeper into existing threats, understand how malicious code works, and searching for vulnerabilities even before bad actors are able to figure out an attack are just a few of the tools in the CASP professional's arsenal.
CASP knowledge branches into virtualization technology and cloud computing to not only make systems more efficient, but to develop and practice security and threat-mitigation techniques in a safe, virtual environment.
Cryptographic techniques and crypto security such as blockchain, cryptocurrency generation and management, and mobile device encryption topics are covered as CASP professionals challenge mobile security and modern threats such as Ransomware.
Network+ Certification
The Network+ certification delivers a vendor-neutral framework, allowing students to learn about how data is managed across networks without being bound to a specific brand of devices.
Although many network professionals will seek out multiple certifications for deeper, specific knowledge, the Network+ certifications gives lifelong learners and career-minded networking professionals the tools they need to switch between vendors and certification needs without the common confusion of vendor-specific differences.
Syntax is everything, and different routers and switches may need similar, but different commands to perform similar tasks. When a specific vendor is the only solution for a new and useful networking technique, understanding the core concepts of most network systems can help students make the switch to a new system with greater ease.
Server+ Certification
For many technical operations, server management is a full-time job. As a hybrid of system administration and networking, server administration, management, and troubleshooting requires a special breed of technicians who can cover multiple tech disciplines within one job.
The Server+ certification prepares students by teaching installation, configuration, troubleshooting, planned maintenance, and a more focused approach to device lifecycles. To be successful at server management, professionals need to constantly evaluate their server, perform maintenance with service advisories, and upgrade systems for increasing network demand.
Security+ Certification
In a world of daily breaches and demystified hacking, the need for security professionals is greater than ever. Businesses need professionals who can not only react to the major system security threats on the open internet, but forward thinkers who can fight security threats before they happen.
The Security+ certification introduces information security best practices, the removal of exploits and system weaknesses—also known as hardening—penetration testing to evaluate security on demand, and the knowledge to understand how and why technology bad actors pick specific targets.
Linux+ Certification
Many CompTIA certifications provide vendor-neutral learning, and Linux provides many tools to stay as flexible as possible in a world of changing brands and new products.
The Linux+ certification trains students in the Linux operating system and application suites. Knowledge of Linux installation, configuration and daily use makes many other areas of the IT world easier due to deeper customization and greater system flexibility.
Even in a world with high Apple OS and Microsoft OS use, the ability to work with and master Linux gives professionals the tools they need to work with cost-effective Linux systems while understanding Mac and Windows at more complex levels that are not always obvious to the standard user.

Manila (AsiaNews/Cbcp) - The visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines and, in particular, his scheduled stop at the Catholic University of St. Thomas (UST), will be an opportunity for young people to "renew their lives, offering them in service to the Lord and to others." These are the words of the rector of the Catholic Archbishop of Manila, Fr. Herminio V. Dagohoy, OP, who believes that the meeting between the students and the Argentine Pope will be a "special moment" of the apostolic visit scheduled next month. On 18 January 2015, Francis will cross the threshold of the UST to meet with the young people.
When the Pope "interacts with young people using the language of mercy, compassion, and with joy in spreading God's love to them," said the rector, the youth, in return, "with grateful hearts are inspired to a renewed life offered to the service of the Lord and others". The Filipino youth, he added, are constantly looking for someone "worthy to look up to and emulate," someone who "understands them and expresses authentic love."
According to Fr. Dagohoy the University feels "enormously blessed and honored" to host this meeting between the Pope and young people.
The event will be attended by youth delegations from of all the dioceses of the Philippines, by members of the Association for Catholic Education (Ceap), by representatives of Catholic Universities (Acup), as well as by young participants in the 2nd Conference on the New Evangelization (Pcne).
In preparation for the meeting, the young people will give life to moments of prayer, the recitation of the Rosary, songs and hymns, as well as sing songs especially composed to welcome the Pope. The day will begin at 6:30 am, the arrival of Pope Francis is scheduled for 10:30. Within the context, there will also be testimonies and stories of faith offered by young people; in addition to his speech, the Pope will recite the Angelus at noon, after which he will travel to Luneta Park, where he is scheduled to celebrate Mass at 3pm.

New York
Anjuman-E-Badri is a non-profit organization administering and managing the affairs of the Dawoodi Bohra community in New York and Connecticut, USA.
The Dawoodi Bohra community is a sect within Shia Islam whose beliefs are rooted in the Fatemi Imams as the direct descendants of Prophet Mohammed al-Mustafa (SAW.) After the seclusion of the Imams, the Dawoodi Bohras look upon the Dai al-Mutlaq as the spiritual leader of their community.
As with his successors in the past, the 53rd Dai al-Mutlaq, His Holiness Aali Qadr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin (TUS), acts as a representative of the Imam and guides and leads the community to practice their faith in accordance with the principles of Islam and the tenets of Dawat-e-Hadiyah, the organization that oversees the functioning of all the Anjumans or network of Dawoodi Bohra communities across the world.
The Dawoodi Bohras are a community of over a million members across the world, with the current center of leadership based in Mumbai. The 53rd Dai al-Mutlaq is the pivot around which the Dawoodi Bohra community flourishes. His inspiring leadership and practical guidance have greatly influenced them to be staunch followers, preserving and strengthening the community and its identity throughout the world.
With the blessings of the 51st Dai Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA), the 52nd Dai Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (RA), and thereafter the 53nd Dai al-Mutlaq, a few thousand Dawoodi Bohras made their homes in the United States of America over the last five decades. Several of them immigrated to pursue higher education or better career opportunities, and some to carry on business and trade. As jamaats or community centers evolved in various States of the United States of America, they became a source of not just religious but also social and community support, helping secure their faith, customs, traditions and culture.
To administer, manage and organize the affairs of each of the jamaats, Anjumans have been incorporated as religious or not-for-profit corporations in various States. These Anjumans function independently as a network under the umbrella of Dawat-e-Hadiyah (America), a Corporation Sole.
The 52nd Dai al-Mutlaq visited the United States of America seven times. In these visits, his followers received guidance and directions covering all aspects of spiritual, religious, educational, economic and social, affecting the individual, the family and the community. His Holiness also examined and set up new schemes and institutions for the progress and well-being of the community. He reminded them of the noble teachings of Islam that "love for the land of abode is part of faith" and that "religion is not just prayer and fast but also the striving for betterment in this World and the Hereafter." He guided them to strive for the betterment of their neighbors and for the common good of all the people of the United States of America.

Relationship of incorrect dosing of fibrinolytic therapy and clinical outcomes.
Journal Article
CONTEXT: Incorrect dosing of alteplase has been associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients. However, patients at high risk of adverse events are more prone to dosing errors, thus confounding this relationship. OBJECTIVE: To determine if the association between incorrect dosing of alteplase and adverse outcomes is related to cause and effect or to confounding. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: Observational analysis in May 2004 of a double-blind, double-dummy trial of 16,949 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who were enrolled in the Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of a New Thrombolytic (ASSENT-2) trial and were assigned to either a bolus of tenecteplase (with alteplase placebo bolus plus infusion) or a bolus of alteplase (with tenecteplase placebo plus infusion). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Thirty-day mortality, in-hospital stroke, and major bleeding associated with incorrect dosing of active alteplase compared with placebo alteplase. RESULTS: Incorrect dosing occurred in 4.9% of patients who received active alteplase and in 4.6% of patients who received alteplase placebo. Patients receiving incorrect doses of alteplase or alteplase placebo were more likely to be older, female, black, shorter, have lower body weight and systolic blood pressure, and have a higher Killip class at presentation. Thirty-day mortality was higher in patients who received an overdose (9.8%) or underdose (19.5%) of alteplase compared with those who received a correct dose (5.4%). The same pattern was present in patients who received an alteplase placebo (10.0% for overdose, 23.5% for underdose, and 5.4% for correct dose). Similar patterns were seen for in-hospital intracranial hemorrhage and major bleeding. The higher rates of adverse outcomes with incorrect dosing were largely accounted for by adjusting for baseline characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between incorrect dosing and patient outcome in ASSENT-2 is primarily due to confounding factors rather than incorrect dosing itself. These data highlight the need for caution when ascribing a causal relationship to associations between incorrect dosing and adverse outcomes.

Q&A: Chantal shares her personal reason for starting Bumps on the Road- A 9K Walk for Pregnancy
Chantal Sarkisian is a fundraiser for the Canadian Foundation for Women's Health, a local and national charity that raises funds to support research in women's sexual and reproductive health. She dropped by Local Tourist Ottawa to talk about a fun local event she's driving forward.
Ottawa has a lot of walking/running events: what makes yours different?
Pregnancy is a wonderful and positive experience, but most people don't think of the challenges that come with it. Bumps on the Road -A 9K Walk for Pregnancy is the first time that everyone can come together and raise awareness and funds for research that addresses diseases or illness in pregnancy. Think of research topics like gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity in pregnancy.
It will be fun and visual: people will come walking in fake bellies or weighted backpacks to really put themselves in the shoes of pregnant women. If a pregnant woman can lug around more than 20 pounds for a few months, I think we can do it for 9K!
This type of walk has never been done before, and I am so glad to be part of it.
What motivated you to start this fundraiser?
Not that I want to get caught up in my own personal life, but sometime you have to experience something for yourself to truly understand it.
Six months ago, I announced to my closest friends, my family and my colleagues at work that I was pregnant. The next week it happened: I had a miscarriage. I found out that I was pregnant on the same day that I started this job.
As much as it motivated me to do my work, when I lost my baby the motivation was still there… it was just transformed. Having gone through this made me see life in a different way. I have a better appreciation for the work I do and I am trying my best to stay positive. I've become a better person and more driven at work. I know I am not alone and many women have gone through this and it's common. Everyone has their unique way of coping, and this is my way.
To my fellow women who know where I am coming from, I hope you have found yours.
So, out of nowhere, I decided to post this on my Facebook wall: "I'm organizing this walk for all the women who have gone through challenges throughout their pregnancy. I am participating because I was one."
I have never revealed this much personal information about myself on Facebook. But after I hit enter… It was too late. I guess that's what's scary and beautiful about social media.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. What are you hoping will come from this event?
Well, this initiative is meant to launch the first volunteer-based event organized by the Canadian Foundation for Women's Health volunteers. My long term goal for this walk is to have national volunteer groups host this walk all over Canada, ever year.
This is our first ever walk, so I have set myself some realistic goals this year. I want to get the community involved and get support from the small business in the Old Ottawa South area. I'd also like to raise 9K (thousand dollars) with 9K (km) for research and awareness. By doing so, I am hoping that more people will learn about the foundation and what we do for women's health in Canada.
So what do we all need to know to get involved?
It will be held in Ottawa (780 Echo Drive) on Sunday, October 23, 2011 (registration is at 7 a.m.). It's a fun event, to highlight pregnant women and raise awareness about the fact that pregnancy can come with its challenges….or bumps on the road, if you will. Men, women and children are encouraged to join healthy pregnant women for this event and wear a fake belly for the walk. The registration fee is $60 per person and prizes will be available to those who raise the highest amount.
Good luck Chantal! To register for the event, visit www.cfwh.org or go directly to the online registration website.

Resource Format: How-To Guides
If ever there was a moment for cultural strategy -- it's now. A global pandemic has magnified the flaws of our capitalist system, but, also, the power art and culture to uplift, disrupt and build community. The Center for Cultural Power offers #NoGoingBack: A COVID-19 Cultural Strategy Activation Guide for Artists and Activists to meet the moment.
Designed with organizers and advocates in mind, this guide gives you the tools you need to get started campaigning to bring PB to your community.
It's time to put the power back in the hands of those that own our rural electric cooperatives–the member-owners.
This document describes the activities needed to develop a worker cooperative, based on the Center for Family Life's 4 stages of development.
How can ordinary community members begin catalyzing a local conversation around building a stronger, more equitable local economy? How can you leverage volunteer power, public resources, and in-kind sponsorships to convene a community wealth building summit? In this new whitepaper from the Democracy Collaborative's Community Wealth Innovators Series, Justine Porter maps out how she and her grassroots team pulled this kind of powerful event together in Poughkeepsie, New York—and highlights the lessons learned so that you can benefit from their experience in planning your own community wealth building summit in your community.
This toolkit is a do-it-yourself tool for those who want to kick-start effective global-to-local action in their community or within an existing group. The toolkit uses the award-winning documentary film The Economics of Happiness as a springboard to discuss the broad impacts of the global economy and localization as a strategy for systemic change.
The PMA methodology is not the property of any single organization, person, or group. This Organizing Handbook is designed for organizers, educators, activists, and community members who want to use the Peoples Movement Assembly methodology to build power in their community, on their frontline struggle, and in our social movements.

Schlaich Bergermann und partner is an engineering firm with a global reputation, known above all for its stadiums, bridges and energy concepts. The firm has offices in Berlin, New York and São Paulo in addition to its main company headquarters in Stuttgart. The Stuttgart team of 110 employees used to be based in two different locations. The relocation of the entire company to a fully redeveloped, seven-storey office block dating from the 1970s pursued the goal of reuniting the team under one roof. The building is prominently located at a busy crossroads in the urban district of West Stuttgart. The offices of schlaich bergermann und partner occupy six floors of the building. The move to the new building signals a fundamental transformation in the operative and communicative structures within the company. The idea was to establish a central communication space to become the meeting place for all departments. Work processes that had previously taken place in individual, decentralised offices have been shifted into large open-plan offices to promote collegial exchange. The resultant aesthetic world cites the precision and technical connotations of the engineering profession, while warm materials and a collage of communication zones of different moods create a cosy and welcoming feel.

What's second to having a good head on your shoulders? Max Mara and mytheresa.com have some ideas
Flavour in the layer
On the topic of easy-to-wear garments, we've made clear our sentiment towards the LBD. There's nothing wrong with it per se, we simply believe that there's better out there; that pulling off polish with minimal effort exists in more shades than black, and garments beyond the dress. Drilling down on outerwear, Max Mara's capsule for mytheresa.com has it laid out in plain sight.
The idea, beautifully uncomplicated. It is a power blazer rising above the pack in pink, a tried-and-test cashmere coat given the twist of a hood, a coat in neutral tones just fluffy enough for that double-take factor. Effortless outerwear to throw on (and over) your shoulders before dashing out the door.
