UK defense left frustrated after loss
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Smiles were few and far between among Kentucky players after a 21-17 loss at Vanderbilt, but there was no mystery about the feelings of the Wildcat defenders.
"The defense did outstanding in my opinion. So it's just devastating to lose when you know you fought your heart out," senior defensive tackle C.J. Johnson said.
Vanderbilt totaled just 301 yards of offense, the second smallest total for any Kentucky opponent this season. Seven of the Commodores' 21 points came on an interception return for a touchdown, and one of the other two scores came after a UK fumble at its own 4-yard line.
The UK defense held Vanderbilt scoreless in the second half, but the performance was still not enough to overcome the Wildcats' offensive ineptitude.
Unsurprisingly, Kentucky defensive players were left frustrated after the loss.
"Absolutely," senior linebacker Khalid Henderson said. "You see the stats, and you watch the game, and you're at a loss for words thinking, 'How did they lose the game?' But it comes down to situations. You can give up as many yards, as many touchdowns, but not play certain situations right and you'll lose."
Cats search for 'hot hand' at quarterback
One of the defense's few mistakes in the game came just before halftime when Vanderbilt scored on a trick play in which wide receiver Caleb Scott lingered on the playing field near the sideline after appearing to run to the bench from the Vanderbilt huddle.
The other 10 Vanderbilt offensive players all lined up inside the box, and a quick snap from quarterback Kyle Shurmur found Scott uncovered as he ran for a 37-yard score.
"Deception play that we got deceived on," UK head coach Mark Stoops said. "But it was legal. Totally legal."
Meanwhile Kentucky's offense failed to score any points on two first-and-goal possessions in the first half and was limited to a field goal on its opening drive thanks in part to three dropped passes.
Stoops and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson made a quarterback change in the second quarter, but redshirt freshman Drew Barker was unable to duplicate the success of a touchdown on his first drive. On his second possession, he threw an interception that was returned 30 yards for a touchdown.
"We just made some critical errors, really put the defense in a bad situation," offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said.
Stoops expects criticism after Vanderbilt loss
Asked how deflating Kentucky's offensive red-zone failures were, Johnson let out an expletive before explaining he was at a loss for words.
"I don't know what else to do," he said. "I don't know."
The Kentucky defensive players made available for interviews after the loss made no secret of their displeasure.
How does the team avoid a split in the locker room after such a lop-sided performance?
"At the end of the day, just got to remember it's a team sport, probably one of the biggest team sports in the world," Henderson said. "Gotta understand it takes 11 guys on both sides of the ball to win the game. We can't do it by ourselves; they can't do it by themselves."
Junior running back Jojo Kemp felt for his defensive teammates, but he made sure to note they were not alone in being unhappy after the defeat.
"Everybody is angry after a loss, so it wasn't just them," Kemp said. "It was everybody."

Palm Bay's Matt Cates wins state title
KISSIMMEE - Matt Cates won a state championship in high school wrestling Saturday night, taking the 170-pound weight class for Palm Bay High.
He defeated Natorian Lee of Orange Park for the Class 2A title, 5-3, at Silver Spurs Arena.
Seth Adeclat placed second in 2A at 120 pounds for Heritage, and five other Brevard County high schoolers also won medals.
"I've been working for this for seven years of my life," Cates said. "The reality of it …I don't even know what to say."
Cates had been ranked first much of the season, and he finished his senior year at 57-1. As a Palm Bay ninth-grader, he had suffered a broken leg in a December match and missed more than a year while recovering. He returned to action a year ago and placed third as a junior in the same building.
Adeclat and Cates won semifinal matches in the morning. In evening finals, Adeclat was pinned by Chris Rivera of Fort Myers at 5:35.
After receiving his medal, Adeclat admitted there was a time when he did not expect to stand on the state medal stand, and he took some satisfaction in knowing that, before the weekend, few others did, either.
"People thought I was going to get fourth or not even medal at all," he said, "so, yeah, it feels good to do it."
Five other Brevard County wrestlers won medals, including three who reached the semifinal round before their first loss. Zac Viers of Space Coast (195) placed fifth in 1A. Palm Bay's Shane Stewart (132) took sixth and Bryce Poppell (160) fifth, both in 2A.
Five Brevard wrestlers reach state wrestling semis
The top six in each weight class earned medals.
Astronaut's Carson Kirk, at 106 pounds, worked his way back to consolation rounds and placed sixth in 1A. Palm Bay's Dylan Perrow at 138 did the same, taking fourth in 2A.

Dan Tidwell Joins Truckload Carriers Association As Membership Development Specialist
New, full-time position will strengthen and grow the only national trade association that focuses exclusively on the truckload segment of the motor carrier industry
Alexandria, Virginia:
The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) has hired Dan Tidwell to serve as its Membership Development Specialist. The position was created after TCA's Membership Committee recognized that a dedicated membership specialist was needed to improve and expand the membership functions of the 76-year-old organization.
"Dan is smooth, but can be aggressive when necessary; humble, but knows he can get the job done; and successful, but knows where he came from. We were looking for these qualities first, and a 'salesman' second, and we feel we got both!" said Michael Eggleton, Jr., who co-chairs the Membership Committee and is the vice president of Raider Express of Fort Worth, Texas. "Truckers want someone who relates to them on all levels, not a salesman who was just selling stocks on Wall Street. Dan fits right in and knows where we, as an industry, come from."
Al Anderson, national sales manager of Bose Ride Team of Framingham, Massachusetts, who co-chairs the Membership Committee along with Eggleton, said: "Dan has a long history in our industry, which gives him the benefit of understanding the fleet mindset. He really 'gets it' when it comes to the benefits that current and prospective members want and need to feel like a part of TCA. His willingness to be flexible in the way we work together is a good indicator of how he will be able to respond to the unique challenges this job will pose."
Tidwell is the former senior vice president of Randall Reilly's Construction Division. He is also a former publisher and regional sales manager for Equipment World magazine and a former director of the Overdrive Radio Network. Some of his achievements include launching several new publications and products within the construction industry, generating impressive sales revenues, and leading and motivating others.
In his new role at TCA, Tidwell will focus on identifying and recruiting prospective members as well as finding ways to retain current members. He can be reached at (703) 838-1950 or email@example.com.

Harvard researchers Bruce Schneier and Saranya Vijayakumar teamed up with independent researcher Kathleen Seidel to survey encryption technologies from around the world to see whether an encryption ban in the U.S. would have any effect on other nations.
The researchers discovered that although the U.S. is the country with the most encryption products, two thirds of the encryption products (546 out of 865) are from other countries. Their conclusion was that even if the U.S. bans strong encryption, not only would users still find a way to use strong encryption, but many American companies would switch headquarters outside of the U.S., too.
This migration has in fact already started post-Snowden revelations, when some of the companies selling products or services with strong encryption thought they couldn't trust the U.S. government to not interfere anymore. It also didn't help that the founder of Lavabit came out saying the U.S. government forced him to shut down his encrypted email company before giving law enforcement access to all his customers' emails.
Germany currently has the largest number of encryption products after the U.S. (112 products) and is followed by the UK, Canada, France and Sweden. Germany has one of the best privacy regulations in the world. It also exists within the European Union, which also has some strong privacy protections across the board, and Germany has to abide by those, as well.
Germany has a strong economy and is a major gateway to the rest of Europe. It's likely that if encryption was banned in the U.S., many American companies would switch their headquarters there. Germany has a strong hacker culture (in the positive sense) considering that it hosts the largest hacker association in Europe, the Chaos Computer Club. Therefore it has a more than welcoming culture towards strong encryption and privacy.
The researchers argued in their paper that if the U.S. passes a backdoor law, it would give vendors from other countries an opportunity to include that in the sales pitch for their own products.
France recently rejected its own ban on strong hardware encryption, arguing that it could hurt the country economically. In the U.S., New York and California are trying to pass a similar law, but more recently, a bill appeared in Congress to ban state-level encryption backdoor laws at the federal level. This would at least ensure that one or two states can't hold companies hostage by forcing them to sell a backdoored product to the whole country.
"It is completely technologically unworkable for individual states to mandate different encryption standards in consumer products," Lieu told Reuters in an interview. "Apple can't make a different smartphone for California and New York and the rest of the country."
Whether a federal backdoor law may still pass later on, it's still up for discussion, as Senators John McCain, Dianne Feinstein, and Richard Burr are currently working on such a bill. The moods in Congress seem to be against backdoors right now, but the supporters of such a bill may still try to sneak it through into another budget bill, much like they did with CISA, the de facto cyber-Patriot Act.

Bosma removes Turner from leadership post-scandal
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — House Speaker Brian Bosma has removed Rep. Eric Turner from his leadership team amid concerns over Turner's lobbying against a nursing home construction ban that would have impacted his family's business.
Bosma said Friday he had removed Turner as House speaker pro tem "many weeks ago" because of Turner's "irreconcilable conflict."
The Associated Press reported that Turner fought in private meetings of House Republicans to kill the ban. Internal documents obtained by the AP showed Turner's family business could have lost millions if the legislation had been approved.
The House Ethics Committee determined that Turner had not violated any formal rules. But Bosma said the investigation exposed holes in the state's ethics laws and said he would seek changes in the upcoming session.
Turner wasn't immediately available for comment Friday.

Our agency previously posted a Covid-19 update on 3/16/2020 which you can read here.
4/7/2020 We wanted to reach out to all of our families, seasoned and new. We are working hard to keep adoptions moving forward for our existing and new families because we know with unflinching certainty that children around the world ARE waiting for families no matter what.
Consultation and Intake for New Clients
Little Miracles (LMI) continues to be able to hold consultations with prospective families, and assess new intake forms and answer all of your adoption questions. Thankfully, our intake process has been paperless for over a decade, and is self-paced from the comfort of your home in our interactive portal!
Daily Operations of LMI
All Little Miracles staff are telecommuting at this time. Some of our team has always telecommuted. What makes this situation different? All families are also home telecommuting now. Spouses are working from home, children are remote learning and need supervision. The LMI staff requests patience and understanding as there may be delays in some responses, or shifts in hours to accommodate this. This seems to be constantly changing at this time.
Mail and package courier is currently still being delivered to the LMI office. Once it arrives, it is being disinfected thoroughly prior to being processed. Some of our packages arriving from overseas we have tracked to alternate routes traveling over 7 countries and multiple US cities! For the safety of the LMI staff retrieving and processing mail, we are cleaning packages as they arrive.
NOTE: If you are sending mail to the LMI office, please send express mail on a Monday or Tuesday so it doesn't have to sit in a vehicle or warehouse over a weekend. All mail currently is being left at our office without signature. LMI has seen extreme delays in delivery of the mail at this time.
At the moment, an essential LMI staff member is going to the office a minimum of 2 times during the week to process mail, to create mail out packages to deliver mail from our office to couriers and USPS letters and to do normal banking.
Families can work on their home study paperwork in the portal. Families can take required education from their home computers for the intercountry home study. All documents can easily be uploaded to our user-friendly adoption portal. Currently, some states are not conducting background checks but LMI will continue to monitor that, and be in touch with your social worker. Unfortunately, at this time, in-person home visits are unable to be completed, however, if approved, you may be able to do a remote-video visit with your social worker to get the process started. When there is an all-clear, the social worker can come to do the home visit and finalize the home study. Please contact LMI to see if this can work for your family.
USCIS I800A / I600A or I800 / I600
USCIS is continuing to receive applications and petitions, and queue them up for review at this time. Families are not being allowed to attend face-to-face biometric fingerprints at this time. LMI receives regular updates from USCIS, and will keep all families posted.
Dossier Paperwork
Nearly all countries require time-sensitive dossier paperwork to be turned into their central adoption authorities. At this time, nearly all central adoption authorities worldwide are not accepting dossiers, as their employees are also telecommuting. Because of this, LMI will not start new dossiers with families at this time. We understand that it seems very efficient to use this time to do this, but we want to eliminate you doing a dossier twice, or maybe a third time in some countries. In addition, many states are currently not authenticating documents.
Central Adoption Authorities worldwide are not able to provide new referrals at this time, as they are all closed. However, if you do see a waiting child that you become interested in, please do let LMI know. Our partners worldwide are continuing to communicate with us daily, and knowing that you may be interested in committing to a child at this time, there are steps we can take to see if it's a good fit for you (if you are a qualified family).
We also ask that families use this time while waiting for referral as we always suggest…additional education in the form of webinars, and by talking with your coordinator to prepare for your child when the world is healthy again!
Families are unable to travel at this time. We will keep families notified when this changes in each country.
Post Adoption
For families recently home, your social worker may be allowed to conduct post adoption visits via remote video technology, rather than in person. LMI does ask that you continue to keep your post-adoption obligations, they just may look different from before. Each state and country will have separate requirements. Please contact LMI for information: firstname.lastname@example.com
Stay in Touch!
If you are just starting, in the middle of intercountry adoption or already home in the post adoption process, your dedicated team at Little Miracles International is here to help you and will continue to be in touch with you directly about any specific issues that may affect your situation.
Keep in touch with updates on our website
On behalf of our staff and our Board of Directors, we wish you health and safety as you navigate these uncharted waters.
Lori Scott, Executive Director
Little Miracles International, Inc.

Fairfield Inn & Suites Hotel to Open In Gainesville, Florida
Hotel & Resort March 29, 2018
WHY IT RATES: Smart, inventive public space and guest room design that includes "smart" room décor combine to create a truly unique new Fairfield Inn & Suites. —Mia Taylor, TravelPulse Senior Writer.
The 114-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott in Gainesville, Florida is scheduled to open today.
Its bright and inviting décor, smart, inventive public space and guest room design make for a unique property. Located at 3877 SW 37th Boulevard, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Gainesville I-75 will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned and managed by Lake City Hotels, Inc. of Lake City, Florida.
Located five miles from the University of Florida and 15 minutes from downtown, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Gainesville I-75 offers guests convenient access to UF Health Shands Hospital, Paynes Prairie State Park, Butterfly Rainforest at the Florida Museum of Natural History and the Harn Museum of Art.
"Delivering both function and comfort, our new design and décor elevate the Fairfield brand, setting a new standard in the moderate tier category," said Callette Nielsen, vice president and global brand manager, Fairfield Inn & Suites. "At Fairfield Inn & Suites, we provide an easy, positive and productive travel experience, as well as the promise of consistent and reliable service at an exceptional value. The Fairfield Inn & Suites Gainesville I-75 is a truly stunning example of the brand's contemporary look and feel, and we are pleased to introduce Fairfield Inn & Suites hotels in the Gainesville area."
From the moment they arrive, guests are welcomed by the hotel's modern, bright new design features, including an updated exterior with a signature tower, a curved porte-cochere and an inviting glass entrance that ushers them into the hotel.
Once inside, guests experience the hotel's open public space featuring natural light and views throughout the lobby to create synergy between both inside and outside spaces. Consistent with the Fairfield brand's heritage of great service and a warm welcome, an angled front desk provides an innovative workspace which allows guests and staff to interact smoothly and on a more personal level.
In the lobby area, guests can choose to be productive, relax, or enjoy eating in a modern and flexible environment. The vibrant, natural color palette of greens, blues and oranges help guests unwind in the lobby's living area and provides a connection to local gator culture. Guests will also have the option to grab a drink at the onsite bar or a snack item from the 24/7 Corner Market.
The breakfast area's signature farm table provides a central gathering place for guests to watch television, socialize with friends or meet with colleagues in a convenient workspace. In the morning, guests can enjoy complimentary hot breakfast with healthy choices such as oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, fruit, yogurt, whole grain cereals, and breads.
The signature "smart" room décor warmly welcomes guests into both a comfortable and productive environment. The guest room includes a well-designed work area with a curved mobile desk, ergonomic chair, task lighting and convenient electrical outlets.
Inspired by nature, the hotel's rooms place the living and working area near the window to allow for more natural light, and the sleeping area in the middle of the room. Plush mattresses and easy access to the bathroom and wardrobe make for maximum comfort in this arrangement.
Building on the natural design, the room décor features organic patterns that blend wood tones with bright pops of color. The spacious living area also offers a comfortable couch, refrigerator, coffeemaker, and microwave.
Additional hotel amenities include a lobby bar, an outdoor swimming pool, an exercise room, valet laundry service, complimentary Wi-Fi, as well as fax and copy services. The hotel also offers 2,310 square feet of meeting space to accommodate functions of up to 200 people.

Mtafu withdraws from UDF elections: Jumbe boycotts
Dr George Nga Mtafu on Tuesday withdrew his candidature for United Democratic Front (UDF) National Chairman post.
Mtafu said he could not contest when it was clear that son of former president, Atupele Muluzi was heading for victory.
Victor Mbewe – who had filled nomination papers for position of Director of Economic Planning -did not turn up as he is currently chairman of the board of directors for state-owned Malawi Savings Bank (MSB) but was elected director of economic affairs unopposed in absentia.
Meanwhile, the one who was acting leader Friday Jumbe, and other prominent party members Sam Mpasu and Ziliro Chibambo boycotted the indaba.
Jumbe told Zodiak radio when convention was underway that they will disclose their next course of action after the indaba.
There are reports that Jumbe led a group of 15 people in his faction to Sanjika Palace where they were introduced to PP executive that they are "part and parcel of the PP."
Reports indicate they were remaining in UDF as "spoilers".
Convention highlight
Just like it occurred on his arrival at the convention venue, Atupele Muluzi stole the show again when he was given a chance to market himself.
First to step onto the podium was Moses Tobias Dossi who briefly underlined what he would do once elected to lead the party that first ruled democratic Malawi for over 10 years.
Next was Atupele, the son of the party's founding member who also led the country between 1994 and 2004, Bakili Muluzi.
Just after the director of ceremonies called his name to come on stage, the audience ruptured into ululation and hand clapping while others chanted chair, chair, chair.
However, Muluzi dropped a bombshell to the enthusiastic audience when he stayed on the stage for just two minutes.
After his salutation and self introduction, Muluzi only said he was a staunch believer of the ideals of democracy and would liberally accept the outcome of the convention.
"I believe in democracy and would accept which ever way the results would go," Muluzi told the attentive audience before leaving the stage without touching on his manifesto.
Ruth Takomana, the current Deputy Director of Research in the party was the last to come on stage in which she said time had now come for UDF followers to elect a woman and "see light."
Earlier in the day, the young Muluzi who is Minister of Economic Planning and Development in the People's Party (PP) led administration also got wild cheers welcome as he arrived at the venue as compared to his two opponents.
Muluzi, who turned up just before 10:30 hours on private vehicle was greeted with ecstasy mostly from the animated youth UDF supporters.
And upon entering the conference hall almost the entire audience rose to its feet to have a glimpse of the dazzling and mostly reserved youthful politician.
Almost 5 000 UDF followers converged at the Chichiri Trade Fair show ground in the commercial city of Blantyre for the long awaited national convention which was being held under theme "Put People First, UDF's Agenda."
The show ground was swarmed by the yellow supporters drawn from all the four political regions of North, Centre, Eastern and South.
However, just above 2500 (out of which 2367 were eligible voters) were allowed entry inside COMESA Hall.
Representatives of other local parties like the ruling PP, former ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), another former ruling and also the country's oldest political party Malawi Congress (MCP), Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) and Peoples Progressive Movement (PPM) were also present.
There was also a delegation from Mozambique's RENAMO party and UDF officials from Zambia, Tanzania and South Africa.
Chairperson of the convention organising committee Lilian Patel said the party had elected an independent electoral commission to oversee the voting process.
The founding leader of the party Bakili Muluzi, currently in South Africa on medical trip, also took advantage of the conference to officially announce his retiring from active politics after over 40 years of service.
The flamboyant Muluzi conveyed his message of retirement through a speech led by his lawyer Kalekeni Kaphale.
UDF becomes the second largest party to hold a convention this year after the ruling PP two months ago.Follow and Subscribe Nyasa TV :

The heat treatment process by which steel products are reheated to a suitable temperature in order to remove stresses from previous processing and to soften them and/or improve their machinability and cold forming properties.
A finished steel product, commonly in flat, square, round or hexagonal shapes. Rolled from billets, bars are produced in two major types: merchant and special.
Carbon steel
A type of steel that generally has only a small quantity of elements other than carbon, silicon, manganese, sulphur and phosphorus, so it has no significant alloying element.
Coated steels
Steel is coated by a heat process, or through electrolysis, with a layer to protect the metal base against corrosion. The most commonly used coating material is zinc which can be applied either using the heat process (hot-dip galvanising) or using electrolysis (electro-galvanising). An organic coating (paint, plastic) can also be deposited on the zinc layer.
Steel Sheet in Coil
A finished steel product such as sheet or strip which has been wound or coiled after rolling.
Cold rolling
Passing a sheet or strip that has previously been hot rolled and picked through cold rolls (below the softening temperature of the metal). Cold rolling makes a product that is thinner, smoother and stronger than can be made by hot rolling alone.
Galvanised steel
Produced when hot or cold rolled sheet or strip is coated with zinc, either by the hot-dipping or electrolytic deposition processes. Zinc coating applied by the hot dip method is normally heavy enough to resist corrosion without additional protective coating. Materials electronically galvanised are not used for corrosion-resistant applications without subsequent chemical treatment and painting, except in mild corrosive conditions, due to the thin coating of zinc. Galvanise is a pure zinc coating. A special heat-treating process converts the pure zinc coating to a zinc/iron alloy coating, and the product is known as Galvanneal.
Hot and cold rolling mill
Hot-rolling mill: Equipment on which solidified steel preheated to a high temperature is continuously rolled between two rotating cylinders.
Cold rolling mill: Equipment that reduces the thickness of flat steel products by rolling the metal between alloy steel cylinders at room temperature.
A flat rolled product from slabs or ingots of greater thickness than sheet or strip.
A flat rolled product over 12 inches in width and of less thickness than plate.
A process which combines ores too fine for efficient blast furnace use with flux stone. The mixture is heated to form clumps, which allow better draft in the blast furnace.
Flat steel coil products, with widths of less than 600mm for hot rolled products and less than 500mm for cold rolled products. The wider flat products are called wide strips.
Structural pipe and tubing
Welded or seamless pipe and tubing generally used for structural or load-bearing purposes above-ground by the construction industry, as well as for structural members in ships, trucks, and farm equipment.

Last time I promised to tell where did I get those 65 microscopic images with focus sweep.
Well, here is the microscope and Z stage:

Is it hard to make a TV antenna?
You need a coaxial cable (to connect it to TV), a foam board and a piece of wire.
Schematics is very simple – you make a ring out of the wire, squish it and attach coaxial outer wire to one side and the central wire to the other side.
Plug it to TV and enjoy.

Do you know BurningMan?
There is early team sport&fun competition on a peninsula I Puget Sound (it was in other areas before, but close to Seattle in the state of Washington)
Here is the link: drowa.org
Sorry, it is all in Russian.
This year they added BurningMan-like theme.
We had to come up with something that is going on in a neighborhood using LEDs.
My theme was – three bullies kicked Alien out and occupied the saucer.
Here is the early concept:
When I first tried Natron, I was frustrated with inability to use particle effects like smoke.
It took me a while to figure it out. But finally I have a solution!
Here is step-by-step instruction:
1. Install Natron from natron.fr
2. Install community plugins from github.com/NatronVFX/natron-plugins
3. Run Natron, add node "Shadertoy" from "Filter" section
4. In the ShaderToy property click on "Image Shader". It will expand a large section of parameters.
5. In "Load From Preset" select something (for example, "Bubbles") to make sure it works (connect "ShaderToy" node output to "Viewer" input, of course)
6. Now go to shadertoy.com and search for "Smoke" (or whatever effect you need). Click on it. Copy the source (in C-like language) from the window on the right
7. Back in Natron, select in "Load From Preset" "No Preset", clean up the Source window and copy there the code.
8. It will fail! You need to go through the code and replace iTime with iGlobalTime and also texture with texture2D. there might be no "texture", but for sure there will be iTime.
9. Compile! The "Compile button looks like it is disabled, but it works indeed!
10. It works? Great! Now make it permanently available! Go to C:\Program Files\INRIA\Natron-2.3.2\Plugins\OFX\Natron\Shadertoy.ofx.bundle\Contents\Resources\presets\default\ and create a file with extension .glsl, like myeffect.glsl
11. Edit C:\Program Files\INRIA\Natron-2.3.2\Plugins\OFX\Natron\Shadertoy.ofx.bundle\Contents\Resources\presets\default\Shadertoy.txt – add a line
"My Effect" "myeffect.glsl"
It is easy to group items. Use this instead:
"My Effects/MyEffect" "myeffect.glsl"
12. Restart Natron and enjoy!
This year Halloween project: Alien!
Here is a prototype made for me by a professional artist (Xenia):
This is software project.
It generates moving city landscape. With it, I can make movies like this (Click on the image to watch on YouTube):
Here you can download the Landscape Generator executable for .NET (it runs on Windows. I did not try to run in on Linux with Mono but it might just run):
If you are paranoid and do not trust me, because I'm just some random person on the Internet (which is very reasonable), please instead download the sources from GitHub, review them for potential threats, and compile. They are in C#.
My 2016 Halloween project: Spiderweb
How was it done? Watch the video:
Was it a successful project? Well, not quite. The rope supposed to be "glow in the dark". And it does glow. Immediately after being exposed to some strong light. But sun set way too slowly I tried blacklight and camera flash, but they do not produce enough power for the whole spiderweb to glow. I can make a little piece glowing, but that's no fun. But I like how it turns pink in the flash light. And it looks cool enough even without glowing.

|[en] Unit testing ; automated test generation
|[en] Automated unit test generation tools can produce tests that are
superior to manually written ones in terms of code coverage, but
are these tests helpful to developers while they are writing code? A
developer would first need to know when and how to apply such a
tool, and would then need to understand the resulting tests in order
to provide test oracles and to diagnose and fix any faults that the
tests reveal. Considering all this, does automatically generating unit
tests provide any benefit over simply writing unit tests manually?
We empirically investigated the effects of using an automated unit
test generation tool (EVOSUITE) during development. A controlled
experiment with 41 students shows that using EVOSUITE leads to
an average branch coverage increase of +13%, and 36% less time is
spent on testing compared to writing unit tests manually. However,
there is no clear effect on the quality of the implementations, as
it depends on how the test generation tool and the generated tests
are used. In-depth analysis, using five think-aloud observations
with professional programmers, confirms the necessity to increase
the usability of automated unit test generation tools, to integrate
them better during software development, and to educate software
developers on how to best use those tools.

A new assessment of the final years of Elizabeth's reign
Elizabeth: The Forgotten Years. By John Guy. Viking; 490 pages; $35 and £25.
THE glorification and defamation of the ageing Elizabeth I is almost as old as the queen herself. Few English monarchs have been subjected to as much historical bias and mythmaking. She has been painted as the defiant Gloriana of Spenserian epic, uniting the land in religion and peace, and the mercurial crone lusting after her younger courtiers. Neither is true, as John Guy shows in this account of her later years.
Recent biographers have focused on the early decades, with Elizabeth's last years acting as a postscript to the beheading of Mary Queen of Scots and the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Mr Guy argues that this period is crucial to understanding Elizabeth; the threat to the realm did not abate after these two episodes. Four more armadas were sent to invade the British Isles, although in the end good luck and bad weather scuppered their plans.
Courtiers gained Elizabeth's favour through exploits of land and sea, to the consternation of the old nobility. Walter Ralegh dazzled her majesty with his vision for an American colony. Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, strove to woo her with plots to plunder Spanish ships. Neither was very successful as the old order closed ranks to frustrate their ambitions. When Essex, powerless after losing campaigns in Portugal, France and Ireland, attempted to ignite a rebellion against Elizabeth in London, he was beheaded.
The master of the old order was the lord high treasurer, William Cecil, Lord Burghley. He controlled access to state papers, briefed England's ambassadors and drafted royal correspondence. Only a sixth of Elizabeth's 15,000-odd surviving letters and warrants were penned or dictated by her, Mr Guy reckons. Burghley was so powerful through much of Elizabeth's reign that the early period could be renamed the Cecilian age. But the queen lost faith in him in 1586, when he plotted to accuse Mary Queen of Scots of treason. A believer in a divinely appointed monarchy, Elizabeth resented having her hand forced over her rival's execution and wavered over whether to kill a sovereign chosen by God. It was only when she was in her early 50s, Mr Guy thinks, that Elizabeth at last asserted supreme power over Burghley.
But the lord high treasurer was not a man to give up easily. He was instrumental in sending Essex on doomed foreign missions. Burghley hired an actor to serenade the queen with pageantry and poetry with a none-too-subtle motif that she should appoint his son to the Privy Council. Robert Cecil eventually became secretary of state as such and survived in the role into James I's reign in true Cecilian fashion.
One crucial question is why Essex survived as long as he did. He bungled military adventures and had little political shrewdness, yet he held influence all through the 1590s. Previous biographers have hinted that the sexagenarian queen was smitten by the buccaneer in his 30s. Mr Guy plays down any sexual intrigue, suggesting instead that she sought a courtier to curb the Cecils' power. Yet it is to Elizabeth's discredit that she held on to a man who frustrated her foreign policy and inflamed factionalism at court.
Admirers of Elizabeth will take solace in few of these pages. Far from the war leader of legend, she seeks peace with Spain while it builds its invasion fleets. She pays war veterans poorly and hangs her own limping soldiers when they demand more money. She roots out Catholic gentry and is complicit in their torture. What emerges from the author's great efforts to mine the archives for a truer picture is a more flawed Elizabeth—but perhaps a more human one.

From here.
It had occurred before to Bleeding Wolf that the Riverlands were something of a confused identity, but the point always felt most salient when he found himself aboard a boat. He hated boats. They were wretched, unstable things riding arrogantly upon tangles of opaque current and manifest unreliability. And yet, boats were the only decent way to get about west of the Scrubline, and Bleeding Wolf tolerated them for his debt to the place. Since the war, the Green had been the only purpose he'd really known. He belonged with it, and it, for better or worse, belonged here.
Nonetheless, despite his tenuous misery on the water, he had to admit the journey of the last week had been interesting. He'd bargained for passage up the Lifeline from Captain Lan al'Ver, an eccentric merchant whose aloof manner and patchwork, ersatz aesthetics might have led Bleeding Wolf to seek help elsewhere, if not for the man's surprisingly widespread reputation for reliability. Indeed, though this was their first meeting face-to-face, Bleeding Wolf had heard the name Lan al'Ver many times, and so far, it seemed the man's notoriety was well-earned.
Since the trip began, no fewer than twenty passengers had boarded–and since departed–their small, six-person vessel. Lan had asked only a pittance of Bleeding Wolf, provided he would help with portage when they reached their destination, but with each new face that boarded, the captain's negotiations seemed to take a strange, new turn. In each case, he would offer much more than was asked–he even once fought off a pair of bandits who had chased one hapless passenger into the river–and received more than he requested. By the time they had reached the fork with the Artery, Lan had made himself several times Bleeding Wolf's fare, the boat was laden with food and goods and an impractical bounty of knickknacks left in gratitude by the erstwhile passengers-in-distress, and, somehow, they had suffered no particular delay for their semi-charitable excursions.
And now, in the final leg of the journey, they had picked up two final traveling companions, each conspicuous in their way amidst the Riverlands' fluctuating normalcy. The first was a quiet, paranoid man who offered coin for passage and no other information, whose evident desire for anonymity was likely undercut by the strangeness of his garb. Bleeding Wolf recognized it as Khettite, though he'd thought all remnants of Khet had disappeared from the Riverlands by now.
The second somehow managed to be even stranger, despite his complete disinclination toward secrecy. His name was Naples, and where the previous passenger could scarcely be persuaded to open his mouth, Naples seemed quite unable to shut his own. He was traveling to the Crossroads, he explained between bites of an apple, to reunite with his lover, with whom their smoldering romance could not continue in the vicinity of her father, and also for the historic architecture, apparently.
"Did you know the Crossroads is home to the oldest theater in the Riverlands?" he asked, tossing his apple core over the side of the boat. "It's not used as a theater anymore, of course, but don't you think something like that ought to be better recorded for posterity?"
Bleeding Wolf very much did not give a shit, but he found Naples just as bizarre as he was offensive. He didn't like the man's carefree attitude, and he especially didn't like his obliviousness to the concept of hunger. Not because it was an insult–rather, these days, people who didn't go hungry had a reason for their comfort, and the less obvious those reasons, the less they were to be trusted.
For his part, Lan seemed entirely unperturbed by the subject of architecture, throwing in a haughty exhortation that Naples "ought rightly to have laid eyes on the Grand Amphitheater of the World City," which earned a raised eyebrow from the would-be scholar. Deservedly, Bleeding Wolf thought. No history he had ever encountered mentioned an amphitheater in Kol, and even if it had existed, he doubted Lan had the requisite centuries of age necessary to have seen it.
Still, despite Bleeding Wolf's guarded suspicion, the thread of conversation–Naples musings on various useless miscellanea met by Lan's boasts and impossible one-upmanship–persisted for days, abating only as they pulled ashore on the Crossroads' southern outskirts. Naples and the Khettite disembarked quickly and politely, leaving Bleeding Wolf to help Lan with the boat, as agreed. He admittedly wasn't sure how the merchant intended to secure the various windfalls he had accumulated along the way, but that certainly wasn't his concern.
"Do you want it beached here?" he asked, hopping ashore, gripping a line lashed to the vessel's bow.
"Oh, heavens no," Lan replied. "We'll be taking it into town." As he spoke, he wrenched down a lever near the rudder, lowering four wheels, previously nestled in alcoves in the boat's hull, into the water. Bleeding Wolf's eyes widened.

What to do About Bad Cosmetic Dental Work - Correcting Mistakes
Published: 18th January 2010
Views: N/A
Before hiring a lawyer, here is a checklist of problems to look for in your mouth. Overhanging restorations can easily trap food enabling the growth of bad breath bacteria. Crown leakage occurs with the use of too much cement and could cause a serious complication. If you notice something unusual find another dentist and have him or her check out the work to determine if there is a need to get bad dental work repaired. Incomplete scaling results in food particles getting trapped around your gums, leading to gum disease and bad breath. Loose fitting dentures can result from weight loss or weight gain, aging or bad dental work. If your dentures don't fit, give the dentist a chance to repair his work and make them fit properly.
If you find yourself in need of an opinion from another cosmetic dentist, ask the second dentist for a copy of the x-ray to show the first dentist. One way to handle the situation is to send the x-ray and a letter requesting your money back and seeing what happens. It may be an honest mistake and the dentist will correct his error, free of charge. However there are other options if he or she chooses not to respond to your request for a refund.
Before hiring an attorney contact the dentistry board in your state. The governing board may have mediation programs in place for handling complaints against their member dentists. The situation may even be handled by way of a letter from the governing board to the offending dentist. If this is not the case then there is the possibility of seeking redress in small claims court. In order to win in small claims court, you have to prove that the first dentist failed to meet your standards or failed to use ordinary professional skills in performing their job. You are alleging dental malpractice at this point.
However, unless the dentist's failure was very obvious and outside the bounds of common professionalism, chances are that you won't prove your case. Getting the second dentist who confirmed the bad dental work to testify in your behalf will go a long way in helping you win your claim. While it may seem like an easy request, bear in mind that most dentists know each other and belong to the same clubs and organizations. It might be very difficult to convince one to testify against the other in person in court.

Make Skin Healthier By Changing Lifestyle
Make Skin Healthier by Changing Lifestyle.Sure, as we get older our skin isn't going to look the same as it did when we were in our teens. But why is it that some men and women grow old with grace and skin that belies their age by a good couple of decades, and the rest of us seem to be cursed with deep wrinkles, and dull, sagging skin? Are these people in league with the devil, and if so, where do we sign?
Luckily for you, we've discovered a few skincare secrets that will make skin healthier and help you immensely. All it really takes is a little common sense and dedication.
Fall in Love
Make skin healthier by changing your lifestyle and great things will happen in the relationship department. This is a great motivation for getting out there and finding your other half – healthy skin makes you look younger. A happy relationship can increase the blood flow to the skin, providing skin cells with nutrients and oxygen that gives us a glow. This glow will help attract the love of your life. That's enough of a reason for you to head to a speed dating event!
Clean up Your Diet
Make skin healthier by changing your lifestyle and being careful of what you eat. You are what you eat, or so they say. So if your diet is mainly comprised of processed foods like hamburgers and pizza, how can you expect your skin to shine? Here are a few of the foods that you should include, or avoid:
- INCLUDE: Dark leafy greens, such as spinach and broccoli, are nature's cleansers. The antioxidants in these vegetables will cleanse your skin from the inside out.
- AVOID: Caffeine. It's a diuretic, so will dehydrate you, making your skin dry too.
- INCLUDE: Berries. Fruits high in Vitamin C can help your skin to produce collagen, keeping it firm. And of course, the vitamin is vital in avoiding scurvy…
- AVOID: Sugar. This can be a cause of breakouts, so to keep your skin spot free, cut down on your intake.
- INCLUDE: Plenty of water. Keeping your skin hydrated is vital in keeping it supple.
Protect Yourself From the Sun
As Baz Luhrmann says in his famous song: "Wear sunscreen." Neglecting to look after your skin in this way can do more than just age you – it can cause severe health problems, including cancer. A golden tan may look good now, but what you can't see until it's too late is the damage that lying on a sunbed or a beach is doing to your skin. Get your tan out of a bottle, or embrace the pale look – you'll thank yourself later.
Quit Smoking
There are so many ways that smoking affects your skin that we haven't the space to mention them all in this article. However, here are a few reasons to quit:
- Psoriasis. Your chances of developing the scaly skin condition can be doubled, depending on how long you've been smoking.
- Wrinkles. Because smoking has an adverse effect on your blood supply, your skin is less supple than a non-smokers. On average, you'll look 1.4 years older if you smoke.
- Scars. That adverse effect on your blood supply can make it harder for your body to heal wounds, too, leading to bigger and redder scars than if you hadn't ever smoked.
- Stretch marks. Nicotine damages the skin's connective tissue and causes it to lose elasticity, making stretch marks more likely.
Want to get rid of all of those toxins from junk food and cigarettes? Go for a run. Exercise flushes out toxin from the skin by improving circulation, which also increases the oxygen and nutrients in your skin. This can help your skin to produce collagen, keeping it supple. It can even help to unclog your pores.
Natural Skin Care Treatments
- Coconut oil is great for dry skin and scalp
- Baking soda is a good exfoliant
- Sea salt helps treat psoriasis
- An oatmeal and cucumber mask is good for acne (Other home remedies here)

Pitch clocks are a good idea to aid enforcement of a rule that already exists but is never enforced to make pitchers throw the ball. Rob Manfred is right to continue pushing for them to be used at the major league level after successful trials in the Arizona Fall League and the minors. It's an idea that addresses an actual issue with pace of play, with no change in the fundamental aspects of the way the game works.
That is a lot more than can be said for the ideas of cracking down on infield shifts and the number of relievers that can be used in a game.
If you accept the premise that infield shifts are stifling non-home run offense, the idea of legislating against them would help in that area, but would be counterproductive to addressing the time issue that is so peculiarly the commissioner's obsession. The game never slows down more than when there are runners on base, and if you're putting in rules to generate more singles, you're putting in rules that encourage more pickoff throws, stepping off the rubber and catchers cycling through more signs.
MORE: The most productive baseball names of the last 100 years
Even if you can get past the contradictory nature of seeking shorter games with more baserunners, there is a philosophical issue at hand, which is that a team has nine players on the field, with all but the pitcher and catcher free to position themselves wherever they choose. Stripping that liberty would be a massive change, and would be made without the recognition that if batters were so stymied by shifts, they could adapt their approach and work the open field, forcing teams to play them straight-up.
The nature of the game is sorting this out. Teams employ shifts, gambling that hitters won't bunt or intentionally slap balls the other way. Hitters generally take their chances with their normal approach. There are some fluke hits on soft contact against the shift, but mostly, hitters don't concern themselves with infielders because they are looking to hit line drives and fly balls that infielders don't deal with. If they lose a few singles on balls that they didn't hit well anyway, so be it.
MORE: SPECTOR: How baseball mimics wrestling
And remember that premise? It's bunk. If shifts were having a major impact on offense, we would see a decrease on leaguewide batting average on balls in play, better known as BABIP, which takes strikeouts and home runs out of the equation. In 2000, at the peak of offense in MLB, the leaguewide BABIP was .300. In 2016, the leaguewide BABIP is .300. In the intervening years, it has been as low as .293 in 2002 and as high as .303 in 2007.
If there has been a change since 2000, it's that there are more ground balls. At the turn of the century, there were 0.68 ground balls for every fly ball, whereas today the major league ground ball/fly ball ratio is 0.84. This says more about 2000, though, than it does about 2016. Baseball Reference's numbers for GB/FB go back to 1988, and in 29 seasons of data, there are only three years where the figure came in outside the range of 0.78-0.86. Those years are 2000 (0.68), 2001 (0.70) and 2002 (0.69), with the rate going back up to 0.82 in 2003, coincidentally or not, the year that survey testing for steroids began.
So, if there has been an increase in shifts, but with no real measurable change to the game, why do anything about them at all?
The use of relief pitchers has risen, indisputably, but making up new rules about that is rife with unintended consequences, the easiest of which to see would be managers pushing pitchers further than is healthy in an effort to save their pitching changes. Philosophically, the idea is garbage anyway: if you have 25 players on your roster, you should be able to use them as you please. If that means an extra six minutes of game time because there are two mid-inning pitching changes, so be it.
A big part of baseball's problem with time has been conflating pace of game issues with length of game issues. The former is worth addressing. The latter is, for lack of better words, a waste of time. Football games are longer and have less action, and it's not hurting that sport's popularity in the least. If it was really so important to baseball to have shorter games, some thought would be given to cutting out a bit of the time between innings, except that time generates revenue from commercials.
Bring on the pitch clocks, but don't start messing with fundamental aspects of strategic freedom in baseball for reasons that are dubious at best.

Airbnb Drops Lawsuit Against New York's Anti-Free-Speech Homesharing Law
Company abandons legal challenge after NYC promises not to bring enforcement actions against it. City says it will only target users.
Short-term rental service Airbnb has pulled out of a lawsuit challenging New York City's ban on advertising such rentals online.
In exchange for getting the company to drop the lawsuit, New York City agreed that it would not use the enforcement mechanisms—including the threat of fines of up to $7,500 for each listing—to target Airbnb and would only enforce the law against individual users. Since its passage in October, the law has drawn criticism for being a potential violation of the First Amendment since it bans a certain form of speech.
"We look forward to using this as a basis to finding an approach that protects responsible New Yorkers while cracking down on illegal hotels that remove permanent housing off the market or create unsafe spaces," said Peter Schottenfels, a spokesman for Airbnb, in a statement to Reason.
With the lawsuit resolved, it would seem New York's anti-Airbnb advertising law will remain in place. Even if there are no other legal challenges to the law, it's still not clear what this means for New York residents who use Airbnb or similar room-sharing services. We'll know more on December 19, when the city plans to hold a public hearing to discuss enforcement of the law.
So far, the city has said it will focus enforcement efforts on people who are running illegal hotels—those who are buying up space for the sole purpose of renting it through online platforms like Airbnb—rather than sharing their space.
Renting out apartments for fewer than 30 days and running a hotel without getting the proper permits from the city government were already illegal in New York before the new law was passed. The big policy change is the ability of the city to impose fines on anyone who even advertises their space for a short-term rental.
"It provides the city with an additional tool to use against those seeking to turn permanent homes into illegal, short-term stay hotels," said Melissa Grace, a spokeswoman for Mayor Bill de Blasio, in a statement about the settlement. "The city will enforce this and other existing laws against bad actors."
In a parallel effort to shut down those so-called illegal hotels, Airbnb implemented a "One Host, One Home" policy in New York City that says the website's users can make only their own homes or apartments available for renting.
According internal Airbnb data that the company shared with Reason, 96 percent of entire-home hosts in New York City have just a single listing on the website, an indication that they are not running what the city would define as an illegal hotel.
In addition to targeting illegal hotels, the city originally justified the strict anti-Airbnb regulations by blaming the relatively new phenomenon of room-sharing for New York's decades-old affordable housing problems.
Airbnb's decision to drop the lawsuit does not make New York's short-term rental policy any better. The company got what it apparently wanted—a promise that it won't be held liable for violating the advertising ban—and hopefully the city will extend the same promise to law abiding residents who are offering their space for rent online. Still, there's no guarantee that will happen and, worse, other states and localities looking to restrict homesharing could be encouraged to copy New York's anti-free-speech policy.

Current loan providers can effortlessly provide in Ireland at below 2% because of the levels of inexpensive money offered to loan providers, he stated.

How can a song written in the style of European missionary hymns have become such a powerful symbol of the struggle for liberation? Why do you think its composer, Enoch Sontonga, would have used European four-part harmony in his song, instead of a more distinctively South African musical style? And why was such an "unthreatening prayer," in the words of historian Duma Ka Ndlovu, then banned by the Apartheid regime?

According to the Gregorian calendar, when the night is dark, people are sleeping, in absence of any activity, the day changes while according to Bhartiya Samvat, with the sun rise, when beautiful sun rays fall on Earth, new day starts just the way the world welcomes the new day on the sunrise. Which one is better? The decision is obvious. The Hindu calendar is based on both Sun and Moon, which makes it a Lunisolar calendar, very much accurate in all calculations. It is the outcome of our highly intellectual sages. It is indeed a proud to call oneself as Indian.
In order to make people aware about the Indian culture, its traditions, and scientific logics behind it, Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS) - a non- profit, non-government and a leading spiritual organization, head and founded by His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, celebrated a program of Spiritual Congregation in its various branches such as Dehradun, Amravati, Bangalore, Chakan, Dabwali Malko Ki (DMK), Ghaziabad, Jaipur and in Jalandhar on the theme- "Abhinandan" on April 2016.
The program commenced with extending warm welcome to all guests, congregators and volunteers. The beginning holy prayer at the lotus feet of revered Gurudev and Maa Bharti marked the wonderful beginning of the program. The series of devotional bhajans and meaningful songs, tuned with melodious rhythm and inspiring words just enlightened the audience with the divinity of the program.
"India is the cradle of Human race, the birth place of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and constructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only." – Mark Twain
The spiritual discourser of the program very beautifully explained how most of the important things first discovered in India and then followed by the whole world. The theme: 'Abhinandan'- symbolizes the welcome of new dawn which marked the rise of Indian culture and aspires to bind each one in one culture, one tradition, one family with one goal.
Audience came to know about the importance of Indian land and its highly scientific culture which always inspires each one to follow our own motherland and its traditions. The culture represents its country and when the culture is sincerely followed, then that country can maintain its special place on the world stage. And this world has always praised our nation which is the legend on this Earth.
