Art and Buddhism: What Is the Connection? Find Out at This Exhibit on Thursday
Beginning with the historical Buddha, who founded the tradition of Buddhism over 2,500 years ago, the teacher has occupied a central role within Buddhism. Works of art are key to disseminating the Buddhist tradition and actively used by students and teachers for worship. That's why The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art wants you to view their exhibit, Teachers of Enlightenment: Traditions in Tibetan Buddhism, this Thursday, February 27th!
Teachers (or gurus) serve as instructors for their students and are venerated by practitioners. Within Vajrayana Buddhism, an esoteric form of Buddhism practiced in Tibet, the teacher is essential to guide a student's path to enlightenment. Specialized teachings, rituals, and practices are taught that can only be passed directly from a spiritually advanced teacher to an individual practitioner.
Sculptures and paintings (thangkas) depicting individual teachers serve as a focus for prayer and contemplation in Buddhist monasteries. Ritual objects are used by teachers and their initiates, and portable amulet boxes allow practitioners to take images of religious figures and protective charms with them. Gurus provide their students with tools that help them create a better tomorrow and alleviate the lifetimes of suffering.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art arose from the instincts and ambitions of two private individuals who shared the dream of providing a public art museum for Kansas City. William Rockhill Nelson, the founder of The Kansas City Star, was convinced that for a city to be truly civilized, art and culture were necessities. When he died in 1915, the bulk of his estate was used to establish the William Rockhill Nelson Trust for the purchase of works of art. Schoolteacher Mary McAfee Atkins had similar aspirations. She provided the city with approximately one-third of her estate to purchase the land for a public art museum.
The Nelson estate was combined with Mary Atkins' legacy to build an art museum for the people of Kansas City. The William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art and the Mary Atkins Museum of Fine Arts opened to the public Dec. 11, 1933. Today, the Nelson-Atkins maintains collections of more than 35,000 works of art and welcomes 500,000 visitors a year.
Teachers of Enlightenment will be open to the public until May 10, 2020. Admission is free. For additional information, please visit www.nelson-atkins.org or call 816-751-1278.

Get to know Jyan Ku's lovely hybrid of "friendly art, not difficult art"
When South Korean-born and Brooklyn-based Jyan Ku sent over the illustrations to be featured in this article, the titles of the works had us in stitches. The file names such as, "Why Crying", "A Little Bit of Juice For You" and "Hey Sweetie", each describes the cutesy narrative displayed in Jyan's work, but also comment on contemporary culture succinctly, particularly our interactions with one another.
"I am focusing on relationships and emotion," Jyan tells It's Nice That of the subjects she's been depicting recently. "I try to put different objects and figures on my canvas, coming out of my subconscious to deliver the story." As each of the illustrations are created quite naturally, the form of Jyan's work is sporadic. Her pieces give the impression of being drawn quickly, with swishes and swirls of colour marks added repeatedly on top of one another, building up into a "surrealistic and distorted mass," she says.
This is a style Jyan's developed over the past year, extending her subject matter and colour palette. "I was pretty satisfied and I'll keep experimenting with these and new mediums." Proactive in creating work, Jyan's portfolio has grown in momentum recently, joining several groups shows and have several chances for the public to engage with her works. "It was an amazing experience," she says. "I hope to have more chances to get closer to people with my works, approaching it as friendly art, not difficult art." Weirdly wonderful, the detail in Jyan's pieces develops not in drawing techniques, but her ability to depict a relatable scenario in just the smirk of a character.
Looking towards the future Jyan plans to "keep concentrating on projecting human's minds on my canvas like a mirror without a doubt," so thankfully we'll be able to continue to chuckle along with her works.

USS Portland (CA-33)
USS Portland (CA-33) leads an Omaha-class cruiser and several destroyers in maneuvering in the Atlantic. Note sailors on the bridge and mainmast, range clock on mainmast for indicating the distance to target to other vessels in line, and Curtiss SOC-1 Seagulls in a very early deployment. Commissioned on February 23, 1933, Portland was the first vessel on the scene of the crash of dirigible USS Akron (ZRS-4) that killed 73 of 76 crewmen. In October 1935 Portland escorted USS Houston (CA-30) with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt aboard to Panama. For the rest of the decade she was assigned to Cruiser Division 5 of the Pacific Fleet. When Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941, she was enroute to Midway with USS Lexington (CV-2). She escorted aircraft carrier task forces at the Battles of Coral Sea (May 4-8, 1942) and Midway (June 3-6). She operated around the Solomons, engaging the Japanese in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons (August) and the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (November 12-15). She was hit by a torpedo that knocked off two of her screws and jammed her rudder to starboard; her number three turret was also stuck. Regardless, Portland damaged a Japanese battleship and sank a destroyer. Under repair for seven months, she bombarded Kiska in July 1943. She supported landings in the Gilberts and Marshalls through February 1944, then was sent to cover the landings at Hollandia in April. After covering the landings on Peleliu in September, she participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. She supported operations in the Phillippines through March 1945, when she was detailed to the invasion of Okinawa. When the war ended, she took the surrender of the Truk garrison in the Carolines. While performing "Magic Carpet" duties returning American soldiers from Europe, she was severely damaged in a storm on December 18, 1945 that killed four men and injured fifty. She was declared unfit for sea and decommissioned on July 12, 1946. She was sold for scrapping in March 19

Biografia
Le sue prime esperienze lavorative avvengono come giornalista e critico cinematografico. In particolare a Buenos Aires collabora per il quotidiano La Nación dal 1957 al 1961 ed è caporedattore del settimanale Primera Plana dal 1962 al 1969. Successivamente è corrispondente a Parigi (1969-1970), direttore del settimanale Panorama (1970-1972) e del supplemento culturale del quotidiano La Opinión (1972-1974). Nel 1975, a causa del Processo di riorganizzazione nazionale, vale a dire la dittatura militare che colpì l'Argentina tra il 1976 e il 1983, è costretto all'esilio a Caracas, in Venezuela, dove rimarrà fino 1983. In questi anni lavora per il quotidiano El Nacional (1975-1977) e fonda El Diario de Caracas (1979).
Al suo ritorno a Buenos Aires, dal 1991 al 1995 dirige il supplemento letterario «Primer Plano» del quotidiano Página/12, e dal 1996 scrive nuovamente per La Nación e sul The New York Times Syndicate.
Lo stile
Fin dai suoi primi scritti letterari è evidente in Tomás Eloy Martínez il retaggio della sua attività di giornalista, come dimostra il saggio del 1961 Estructuras del cine argentino. La sua prima opera letteraria è il romanzo Sagrado, del 1969. Con La pasión según Trelew (1974) Eloy Martínez ritorna all'inchiesta giornalistica, questa volta dedicata all'assassinio di un gruppo di guerriglieri durante la dittatura di Lanusse.
Le sue opere successive mantengono il profilo di cronaca impegnata o di taglio critico-giornalistico: Los testigos de afuera (1978) e Retrato del artista enmascarado (1982) sono saggi letterari, Lugar común la muerte (1979) raccoglie diversi racconti sotto il comune tema della morte. Ne La novela de Perón (1985) si racconta sul filo tra verità e finzione la vita del presidente argentino Juan Perón. Seguono La mano del amo (1991), e il libro per cui ha guadagnato fama internazionale, Santa Evita, del 1995. Las memorias del general, del 1996, è una cronaca sugli anni settanta in Argentina. Nel 2002 ha vinto il Premio Internacional Alfaguara de Novela con il romanzo El vuelo de la reina. Réquiem por un país perdido (2003). El cantor de tango è la penultima opera dello scrittore, prima di Purgatorio del 2008. Nel 2009 gli viene conferito il premio Ortega y Gasset alla carriera, promosso dal quotidiano madrileno «El País» per i migliori lavori giornalistici del mondo.

A Notable Man: Edwin J. Brett
"A notable man who passed away recently had a rather unique experience in literature. The deceased, Mr. Edwin J. Brett, died at his residence in North London. He originated a certain class of boys' literature, and first launched the Boys of England. It made its appearance under somewhat peculiar circumstances. Mr. Brett was originally an engraver on wood, when the zinc process was unknown, and when he conceived the idea of producing this journal he had no money. He asked some publishers' agents to advance him a sum sufficient to float his scheme which they did. With the £300 he had obtained from them the paper was produced and for years was an immense success. The deceased was a great collector of ancient armor, and a portion of his collection was recently sold for £30,000. Mr. Brett was over seventy years of age, and has been ailing since the death of his wife some five years ago." -- Taranaki Herald, NZ, 6 Feb 1896
On 29 Jan 1892 a complimentary banquet honoring Edwin J. Brett was held in the Marble Hall of the Grand Hotel, Charing Cross, with George Augustus Sala in the chair. Sala said that "I daresay the beginnings of Mr. Brett were as humble as my own. I daresay he had to win his bread by the labour of his hands at 14 ½ years, and I am glad to be reminded of the many old friends of his, who were also, in the remote bygone, dear and valued friends of mine."
Edwin J. Brett was born in Canterbury 27 December 1827, the son of Thomas Brett, a former British army man, and his wife Mary. He was apprenticed at 14 to a watchmaker but soon took up the work of a wood engraver, associating with Ebenezer Landells, one of the founders of Punch, which is probably where he met Sala, who in his early days worked for Landells and others as a designer of woodcuts for fashion plates, penny bloods, and comic papers. At 16 he was engaged as an artist-engraver for Henry Vizetelly's Pictorial Times. In May 1847 he engraved some of the plates for G. W. M. Reynolds's Days of Hogarth, serialized in Reynolds's Miscellany, and issued in penny numbers by John Dicks. About 1852 Brett engraved (and possibly designed) plates for The Double Man ; or, The Revelations of an Old Jailor a Startling Narrative of True Events, published by John Lofts and described as "literally true, and transcribed from a manuscript found in an old brick house in one of the London outskirts."
In 1864 Brett edited Edward Harrison's English Girl's Journal and Ladies' Magazine with William Emmett, under his trade name W. E. Lawrence, who along with his brothers would later become worthy rivals of Brett in the boys periodical business. According to "An Old Publisher," in T. P.'s Weekly (24 Aug 1906), W. E. L. was "partners with Joseph Hardiman and E. J. Brett." In the sixties Brett had a financial interest in the Newsagents' Publishing Co., a notorious publisher of penny dreadful numbers, and was possibly engaged in a managerial capacity as well. The Boys of England was published on 27 November 1866 inspired by Edward Harrison's earlier Boys' Miscellany (1863-1864) which was published by journalist George Maddick from the second volume on. When Maddick died in 1882 he left four daughters unprovided for, 3 of who were between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Brett was a member of a committee to raise funds for their upbringing along with Edward Harrison, cartoonist H. J. Bryan, Lloyd's Newspaper editor Thomas Catling, E. L. Blanchard, George R. Sims and many others.
Charles Stevens was said (Jay) to be the publisher and editor of The Boys of England until Brett took over full control of the periodical on 4 Feb 1867. Stevens supplied the first serial, "Alone in the Pirate's Lair," and leading story illustrations were drawn by E. Hebblethwaite. Jack Harkaway was introduced in BOE no. 249, 23 July 1871, and Brett was making a fortune when, in 1873, series author Bracebridge Hemyng was enticed away to America by English-born Henry Carter (better known as Frank Leslie) who had learned the trade as an engraver on The Illustrated London News. Jack Harkaway was now published in Frank Leslie's Boys of America and in England by Brett's rival George Emmett. The Boys of England ran to 1899 when it was incorporated with Up-to Date Boys (1899-1901). Brett claimed he was the originator of Jack Harkaway and continued issuing Harkaway serials written by Philip Richards. Hemyng and Richards both wrote very different stories dealing with the demise of Harkaway's arch-enemy Hunston.
Boys of England was followed by The Young Men of Great Britain, The Boys of the World, The Boys' Favourite, Our Boys' Journal, The Boys' Sunday Reader, Boys' Weekly Reader, The Boys' Comic Journal, The Boys of the Empire, The Boys of the British Empire, The Rovers of the Sea, and Jack Harkaway's Journal for Boys.
The Emmett brothers competed for boys' pennies with The Sons of Britannia, The Rovers' Log, The Young Englishman, The Young Gentlemen of Britain, and The Young Briton.
Brett was an enthusiastic yachtsman and collector of armor. In 1869 he wrote Notes on Yachts (First Series) which was published by Low, Son & Co., with illustrations by his son John Brett and J. D. Cooper. In 1871 he issued Brett's Illustrated Naval History of Great Britain. On January 1, 1890 an exhibition was held at the New Gallery. Brett's collection of armor was displayed alongside portraits, Holbein paintings, plate, needlework, carving, books, coins and metals from the close of the fifteenth century to the end of the Tudor line at the beginning of the seventeenth. In 1894 Sampson, Low, and Marston published Edwin J. Brett's A Pictorial and Descriptive Record of the Origin and Development of Arms and Armor, with 133 plates drawn from the author's collection. Brett died 15 December 1895 leaving 9 children and an estate worth £76,538. His eldest sons took over the publishing business until its demise in 1909.

Most relationships tend to fail. Not because the absence of love. Love is always present.
It's just that one was being loved too much, and the other wasn't being loved enough.
When I text you, it means I miss you.
When I don't text you it means I'm waiting for you to miss me.
If people really care for you, they would definitely make an effort to avoid the possibility of losing you.
Occasionally, a true friend gives his paw not his hand.
Love her like a wife and respect her like his mother. | {

10 Hairstyles From the '90s Every Black Man Rocked Back in the Day
Shayna Watson
Filed to: PhotosFiled to: Photos
Twist; high-top and flat-top fade; low fade with 360 waves
IMDb; IMDb; Instagram
If you ask most black men what their style was like in the '90s, they will reference the hairstyle they were rocking first. Every decade has its list of "it" trends—the ones that instantly transport you back in time when you see them.
We polled some of the men in our lives who have been fly through the decades and asked them to describe their life in the '90s and which trend they were pulling off at the time. Many of these hairstyles are still hot today but made their mark decades ago.
Shayna Watson is a freelance style and beauty writer who can be heard saying "Natural hair is a lifestyle" at least once a day. A Pittsburgh native, she currently lives in a shoe-box apartment in Brooklyn, N.Y.—which is fitting, since she really loves shoes. You can check out her personal style musings on A Nu Creature and follow her on Instagram.
1. Caesar
The Caesar
The transition from braids to the Caesar was huge in the '90s. Memphis Bleek reminded us of the upgrade factor of this style in his verse on Jay Z's "It's Alright": "I made this clear, back when shorty used to braid my hair/On the project stairs, once I crop to a Caesar Ma I don't need ya." Braids were fly, but once you got that low-cut with the edged lines, the game changed. And we assume he was rocking a Caesar underneath that do-rag all through the '90s?
2. Flat- and High-Top Fades
Kid 'n Play
Kid 'n Play gave us the perfect spectrum of flat- to high-top fades. Throughout the House Party movies, we were able to witness various stages (and heights) of the fade while brushing up on our dance-battle routines. You can't even mention the '90s without this hairstyle.
3. 'Fro
Snoop Dogg rocking the 'fro
Fashion is super-cyclical—about every 20 years we see a major resurgence of something that was hot two decades before. The picked-out Afros of the late '60s and '70s came back with a shaped, modern update for the '90s crowd. Snoop in a Karl Kani denim look may be the most '90s image we have ever seen.
4. Rat Tail
Theo Huxtable (Malcolm Jamal-Warner) with a rat tail (look very closely)
Our eternal high school crush, Theo Huxtable, touched on many of the hairstyles in this list but really brought it home with the braided rat tail that we started to see in season 5 of The Cosby Show. It's not always the easiest to see, but believe us, this piece of '90s gold (sometimes with a bead on the end!) is there. And have you seen how fine Malcolm-Jamal Warner is now, all grown up? Come through, Theo!
5. Cornrows
Allen Iverson (right) of the Philadelphia 76ers wore the hell out of those cornrows.
theofficialai3 instagram
There were two schools of cornrows for the '90s: the straight backs, like Allen Iverson's, or the middle part, like Xzibit's. Both very '90s fly, both required you to find a braid girl—preferably with a front step to let you sit on while she worked on your braids. And if your girl had them skills, you got the zigzags, mini braid connections and patterns. We think we all remember where we were when Iverson finally cut off his braids in 2009. End of an era for real.
6. Baldie
Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls celebrates after the Bulls win Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Salt Lake City on June 11, 1997.
JEFF HAYNES/AFP/Getty Images
Bald became a sure-enough hairstyle in the '90s. From Michael Jordan to Tommy in Martin to Tyrese, we were all swooning over a shiny, luscious bald head. Many celebrity hotties have shaved off their hair since the '90s, the perfect marriage of fashion and function once those strands get a bit more slender with age.
7. Ramp Fade
Kadeem Hardison as Dwayne Wayne in A Different World
There are very subtle differences between these top-fade styles, but best believe your barber better know exactly which version you were going for when it came time for that shape-up. The ramp fade was a slight high-top that was cut to have a slight incline to the front—like a skateboard ramp. Dwayne Wayne can show you better than we can tell you.
8. Low Fade With 360 Waves
nas Instagram
This list would be horribly incomplete if we didn't mention do-rags, wooden-handled brushes and pomade in this list. All of those products were used in hopes of securing the deepest ocean of waves in the low fade. Like seasick, Dramamine waves. Nas has been riding this trend since he first popped up on the scene, and it just gets better with time.
9. Locs
Locs are timeless. Many locs in the '90s were a bit more rugged and free-form compared with the clean parts and thin twists of the modern style. Of all lengths and sizes, this style has been on the hot list for a long time, and it has definitely made its mark in pop culture.
10. Twists
T.C. Carson as Kyle Barker in Living Single
Sometimes this was an intentional style. Other times it was the result of too many weeks between haircuts and boredom in class. Part free-form twist, part two-strand twist, these were for sure a '90s staple. | {

Q: in swift, how do i get the string value from a print_r statement in php? print_r($response);
I have used Alamofire to call a GET request from php code that uses print_r (as above)
I use this to get the 'outputString' in Swift:
let outputString = NSString(data: data!, encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding)
however, I get an error if i use '.rangeOfString' to see if a string is in the response string, how do i do this?

2nd degree of O'Reilly Connection contacts. This is a close up of the populated section of this graph. This graph was created by crawling the FOAF documents from my [the author Timothy M. O'Brien] O'Reilly Connection profile and then obtaining the FOAF documents of people associated with me. The results were then stored in a neato format and visualized using graphviz neato.
The guy's complaining about the fact that he lacks computational power to visualize six degrees, what a pity that would be great; however, judging from the previous graph it might be quite messy!
Why do I blog this? I still find FOAF relevant and I have always wondered about can we use this sort of network data in a useful, efficient and reasonable way. Apart from viewing the network, how this could be of interest in a peculiar kind of application? There are already good examples like what people do at the Sociable Media Group (MIT) but apart from that? | {

The Bali Conference on Climate Change: An Initial Balance Sheet
By Daniel Tanuro
Daniel Tanuro is the ecological correspondent of La Gauche, newspaper of the Belgian Socialist Workers Party. An earlier version of this article, in French, was published in Europe Solidaire sans frontières, Dec. 20, 2007. The translation of the expanded article was done by Climate and Capitalism. It has been reviewed by the author.
How should we judge the outcome of the Bali Conference? The fact that the IPCC targets were not explicitly and directly included in the roadmap has lead some to call it a pointless meeting, a victory for the USA, etc. This view was expressed by George Monbiot in his Guardian column on December 17 ("we have been suckered by the US, once again")
This analysis is questionable.
The media focused on the quantitative recommendations of the IPCC and the EU-US arm wrestling over the reference to these recommended targets in the roadmap. This is an important issue, but the focus can be misleading. From the organizers' point of view, the conference was not a failure. The meeting decided to negotiate an agreement to replace Kyoto. The stated objective is to adopt new agreement in 2009, at the fifteenth conference of the parties in Copenhagen. It will establish a "long-term global goal" and "urgently enhance the implementation of the Convention (UNFCCC) in order to achieve its ultimate objective "(to prevent dangerous degradation of the climate). This will require "deep cuts in global emissions." The preamble emphasizes "the urgency to address climate change as indicated 4th Assessment Report of the IPCC." Etc.
The compromise is not a win for Bush
The Bali roadmap was signed by all of the delegations. A careful reading shows that the compromise with the United States mainly involves the following points:
There is no direct reference to the recommendations of the IPCC figures in the text, only an indirect reference in the preamble, a footnote that refers to specific passages of the 4th IPCC report where the recommended figures appear. The US victory on this point is largely symbolic — although not entirely, as I discuss in detail below.
The roadmap maintains the concept of different treatment of developed countries (they must accept "quantified emission limitation and reduction objectives") and developing countries (they must undertake "appropriate mitigating actions in the context of sustainable development, supported by technology and enabled by financing and capacity building ").
The formula for developed countries ("commitment or mitigation actions") leaves the USA, which rejects fixed reduction targets, some manoeuvrability. But its room for manoeuvre is very limited. Indeed, immediately after that sentence, in the same point, the text clearly poses the need for "reduction targets and quantified emission limitations." It says explicitly that these goals must be "measurable, reportable and comparable." This is exactly what the US has refused to accept for 10 years.
The compromise is not a win for Bush. Rather, it anticipates the rather predictable shift in the US political climate after Bush leaves. To understand this, three factors need to be considered:
1) The increasing isolation of the Bush position in the USA. As the conference opened, the US Senate began discussion of the proposed Warner-Lieberman bill to impose emission reductions on sectors representing 80% of the American economy. A McKinsey study commissioned by Shell and various companies in the electricity sector concluded that by 2030 the USA can reduce its emissions by half compared with forecasts, at minimal cost, using existing technologies, and save money in 40% of cases (BusinessWeek, Dec. 14, 2007). Increasingly, large companies want quotas and a long-term plan (See for instance the Financial Times, Dec. 12, 2007: "Business lobby demands emissions goals").
2) The increasing isolation of the United States on the international scene. The unplanned 13th day of the conference was spectacular from this point of view. US obstruction and arrogance provoked widespread protests, notably by representatives from the South. When asked a few days earlier about the lack of American leadership in the fight for the climate, James Connaughton, head of the President's Council on Environmental Quality, told reporters that "the US will lead but leadership implies that others fall in line and follow." In the plenary, the representative of Papua New Guinea retorted: "If for some reason you are not willing to lead, leave it to the rest of us. Please get out of the way."
Pressure on the United States reached a peak when the EU has threatened not to participate in the coming "Major Economies Meeting" in Hawaii (these MEM meetings were proposed by Bush at the G8 in Heiligendamm, as a contribution to the struggle against global warming on basis of voluntary targets by the big emitters).
A major turning point: the involvement of the South
3) The increasing involvement of the South, particularly the large emerging economies (Brazil, India, China, South Africa). This group's mood has changed. Several representatives clearly expressed willingness to participate in the common effort, but in a framework of "differentiated responsibility" (as posed in the UNFCCC). Brazil's Environment Minister: "even if developing countries do not have historic responsibility for climate change, they must act." China's representative: "The unprecedented severity, depth and breadth of the impact of climate change, mean that it cannot be solved by the efforts of developed countries alone" (Le Monde, Dec. 18, 2007).
As the Christian Science Monitor wrote: "In the past, analysts say, industrial countries cut the deals and essentially presented developing countries with the results. No longer." (Dec. 17, 2007). The "Group of 77 plus China" (which actually includes 123 developing countries) clashed hard with the USA, especially when it rejected an amendment on technology transfer and financing for adaptation.
Behind these developments is the unprecedented influence that expert scientific reports on climate change have had on political decision-makers. Governments that stand in the way (USA, Canada, Japan, Russia, New Zealand) can no longer claim that the science is uncertain, and it is very significant that they did not make that argument in Bali. These governments are in an awkward position because now they can only argue from economic or strategic concerns. In the final analysis such arguments do not outweigh the seriousness of the climate crisis, even in neoliberal circles.
New challenges, new dangers
Hervé Kempf's evaluation of Bali, in Le Monde (Dec. 18, 2007) appears to be much more realistic than Monbiot's. "A done deal … The global agreement leading to Copenhagen, and the new attitude of the countries of the South, means that the ball is now in rich countries' court. They can no longer just talk about numbers: they must actually implement them."
Indeed. We are no longer in a stable situation. Bali has moved us into a transition period that may result in a new global agreement that is different from the Kyoto Protocol. This period involves new challenges and new dangers. We must take this into account and prepare for it.
What challenges, what dangers? Hervé Kempf is silent on those questions. By contrast, George Monbiot is correct to some degree when he describes the agreement as possibly "worse than Kyoto," even if he does not say how it would be worse. We can note three issues
1) The absence of any explicit mention of the IPCC's recommended targets is clearly not without consequences. It opens opportunities for nitpicking and sharp-dealing. For example, on the key issue of the reference date for emission reductions, the proposed Warner-Lieberman bill proposes a reduction goal of 70% — but compared to 2005, not compared to 1990.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has already played this trick: the Californian climate plan promises a 25% reduction in 2020, but only compared to what the level of emissions in 2020 would be otherwise. In fact, despite the sticker shock figure, the result will be less than what California would have had to reach in 2012 if it had ratified the Kyoto Protocol.
In the same way, at the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Angela Merkel spoke about a 50% reduction in 2050 without mentioning the reference date. By all accounts, the European Union may not be unhappy with the fact that the IPCC recommendations are not explicitly mentioned in the Bali roadmap. We need to watch this, and other similar issues, very closely.
2) The discussions and decisions in Bali emphasized a neo-liberal approach to climate policy. In this respect it must be stressed that the goal is to negotiate a new global agreement — within the UNFCCC framework, of course, but a new agreement nevertheless. This means that certain relatively positive features of the Kyoto Protocol ( see my article "Post-Kyoto is likely to be very liberal" in International Viewpoint) are not assumed as starting points, that many questions are now reopened. This could mean including nuclear projects in the Clean Development Mechanism, eliminating penalties for non-compliance with commitments, or changing the balance between CDM and domestic efforts to reduce emissions (if not abolishing any limitation to the CDM, as proposed by Nicholas Stern in his report on the economics of Climate change). These are obviously extremely important issues.
In one case protections included in Kyoto have been already undermined by decisions made in Bali. Under Kyoto only projects involving newly planted trees qualified for emissions credits under the CDM. The Bali conference decided to extend this to the protection of existing forests against deforestation, and even against degradation. Here, although the environmental associations don't understand it, the road to hell is truly paved with green intentions.
Obviously a halt to the destruction of rainforests in the Amazon, South-East Asia and elsewhere would be welcome — but not if it produces emissions credits so cheaply that they allow developed capitalist economies to defer or avoid essential reduction efforts at home. That is the real goal: protection of forests is just a pretext.
According to Stern, a tonne of carbon generated by protecting existing forests would cost $5, compared to $10 currently in the European trading system. The World Bank has already created a fund just for this purpose. In that situation, we can guarantee that the rights of indigenous communities in the forests will not bear much weight. For example, nomadic cultivation and livestock grazing in clear forests may well be labelled as "deforestation" or "degradation." Experience to date reveals no shortage of examples of such rulings. (See for instance "How do CDM projects contribute to sustainable development," Tyndall Center for Climate Change Research. June 2004).
Similarly, some voices in Bali urged that the export of new technologies for carbon capture and sequestration, involving high-pressure injection of CO2 into deep geological deposits, should also qualify for CDM credits.
At the same time, calls to end the scandal of emissions credits acquired cheaply by burning HFC-23 went unheeded, as were calls for a general overhaul of the CDM system to put an end to fraud, corruption and abuse (Read about the HFC-23: "Truth about Kyoto : Huge Profits, Little Carbon Saved », Nick Davies, The Guardian, June 2, 2007).
Profound threats to the poorest
3) A third challenge and danger relates to the poorest countries. It is they who will pay the price if the governments of developed countries and the dominant classes of the large emerging countries reach an agreement. In this regard, the discussions and decisions about the "Fund for adaptation" are very revealing. Created in Nairobi in 2006, the adaptation fund relates to the least developed countries (LDCs), to use the official euphemism. These LDCs, the main victims of climate change, do not have the financial, technological or human resources to adapt. In Nairobi, it was decided that an adaptation fund would be financed by a 2% levy on CDM projects. This alone is unjust, because it means that the money available for adaptation in the poorest countries depends on the volume of investment from developed countries in emerging countries (where the vast majority of CDM projects are), and not on the needs of the people at risk in the LDCs.
The money available under this formula is insufficient: according to UNFCCC estimates, the fund could raise $300 million a year from now to 2030. By way of comparison, the damage caused by the cyclone that recently devastated the coasts of Bangladesh is estimated at four to five billion dollars. In fact, under Nairobi logic, an increase in the fund's resources would require expansion of the CDM, and that will undermine the principle that CDM projects must be additional to (not substitutes for) emissions reductions in developed countries, a principle that is enshrined in the Kyoto Protocol.
But that's not all. The Bali conference decided that the adaptation fund will be managed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), in association with the World Bank. The LDCs opposed this decision because the GEF operates on the principle of "one dollar, one vote," meaning that the fund's backers — the rich countries — will control the adaptation policies of the poorest countries. Based on the LDCs' past experience with the GEF, we can expect its policies to be at least as damaging as climate change.
Tentative conclusions
What does all this mean? Essentially two things:
1) Worldwide social mobilization for the climate is more necessary than ever. The demonstrations that took place in various countries on Dec. 8 (and in Australia a month earlier) are an example and a starting point. We must build the widest possible unity around the simple idea that the climate agreement now being negotiated must fully incorporate the IPCC's recommended targets:
A 25%-40% reduction in the emissions of industrialized countries by 2020;
Total global emissions must peak within the coming 10-12 years, then begin to decline absolutely;
Total global emissions must be cut 50-85% by 2050.
2) Within this united mobilization, it is increasingly urgent to build an anti-neoliberal pole that links the climate issue to defence of social justice and the need for redistribution of wealth, from North to South, and within all societies in both North and South.
We have two years until the Conference of the Parties in Copenhagen in 2009. Those two years will be decisive for the climate and for an alternative to neoliberal climate policy.

Q: Convert MySQL Database to Postgres Database using pgloader I have a MySQL database that I'd like to convert into a Postgres Database. I found that pgloader.io does this. How can I accomplish this task?
A: *
*Create a file which defines (in the pgloader schema) how the data transfer will function. Here is my sample:
LOAD DATABASE
FROM mysql://root:password@localhost/development
INTO postgresql://helson@localhost/development
WITH include drop, create tables, create indexes, reset sequences,
workers = 8, concurrency = 1,
multiple readers per thread, rows per range = 50000,
prefetch rows = 10000
SET PostgreSQL PARAMETERS
maintenance_work_mem to '128MB',
work_mem to '12MB',
search_path to 'sakila, public, "$user"'
SET MySQL PARAMETERS
net_read_timeout = '120',
net_write_timeout = '120'
;
There are other options to limit the tables, such as
including only table names matching 'users'
which you can include before the semicolon.
*Go ahead and run execute the command
pgloader schema
where schema is the path of the file with the pgloader schema.
*You may get some errors. I personally experienced an issue where there wasn't enough heap memory to perform the task. To fix this, you'll need to build the project from source.
It's simple enough. Clone the repository and make with the following command
make DYNSIZE=20000 pgloader
This will create a new executable with a much larger heap size. You can execute the binary with
./build/bin/pgloader ~/schema
or wherever your schema is located.
*Rerun with the increased heap size.
*You may experience issues with rows failing in the transfer. For me, this was due to strict mode issues in MySQL. I had to manually fix these issues (setting new defaults for columns, setting datetime values to NULL instead of 0000-00-00 00:00:00). Fix these issues and rerun pgloader, but this time only include the specific tables you need.
And that should be it!

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University are the first to produce an animal model for episodic ataxia. The condition causes patients to suffer bouts of extreme clumsiness where they have balance, speech and motor difficulties. The research helps scientists better understand this rare and intriguing disorder. It may also help provide valuable information for improved, targeted drugs for treatment. The research is printed in the April edition of the journal Nature Neuroscience. It was conducted in conjunction with researchers at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
"By developing a mouse model for episodic ataxia, we now have a valuable tool to better understand and treat the disease," said James Maylie, Ph.D., a professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the OHSU School of Medicine. "We have already used this animal model to observe and learn more about cellular mechanisms behind the disease. These disease-linked cells are located in the cerebellum, a portion of the brain involved in motor coordination."
The research also helps explain how a medication commonly used to treat patients works. "Acetazolamide is often given to patients with episodic ataxia," Maylie said. "Using these mice models, we were able to establish how acetazolamide acts at a cellular level to combat the disorder, something that was previously unknown."
Approximately 150,000 Americans are affected by the various forms of ataxia. The disorder is characterized by poor motor coordination. Specifically, it can cause hand coordination problems, poor balance and slurred speech. People with ataxia are often accused of acting drunk. In most ataxia disorders, the coordination problems are present all the time. In episodic ataxia, the coordination problems come on suddenly, often in stressful situations, and last for minutes or hours.
"Episodic ataxia is one form of the condition involving intermittent spells where sufferers simply can't control their limbs," said John Nutt, M.D., director of the Parkinson Center of Oregon, which also treats patients with ataxia. "These attacks can last anywhere from a couple of minutes to three or four hours, and they are often triggered by stress, exercise or vigorous activity. In between episodes, patients are completely normal. Episodic ataxia is frequently caused by genetic mutations, but in some cases, multiple sclerosis can be the cause."
Years ago Nutt and his colleagues helped define clinical features of what they thought were three different types of inherited episodic ataxia while working with families seen in the OHSU neurogenetics clinic. In 1994 OHSU researchers Michael Litt, Ph.D., professor of molecular and medical genetics in the OHSU School of Medicine, and research associate David Browne, Ph.D., determined that the disease was caused in some families by a mutation in a gene that controls the flow of potassium in and out of nerve cells. This was the first human disease linked to the malfunction of a potassium gene. Testing all the families with this disorder in the neurogenetics clinic proved that two genes, and not three genes as the clinicians had thought, were responsible for the episodic ataxias. Subsequently other investigators found that a second variant of episodic ataxia was caused by a mutation in a gene that controlled the flow of calcium through the cell membrane.
This research was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a component of the National Institutes of Health, and the National Ataxia Foundation. | {

After watching all 3 matches so far, I have to say that I am a bit underwhelmed. DB looked ok and Cookeville beat Collierville 3-0. Hard to know much about Cookeville, however I feel they and DB looked similar. At this point, Brentwood will beat all these teams in 3--easily. Waiting to see what Siegel match looks like. It is impressive to see a team like Cookeville, who doesn't have access to a high level club, play solid volleyball. They are well coached.
Hoping for a really competitive final 4, and championship--but my hopes are waning.
I was really hoping that Station Camp would put up more of a showing than they did. DB looked decent against Brentwood, but they never really had to turn it on at all. I don't see a team yet that can take a set from Brentwood. Can siegel?
I think Siegel can take a set but will be hard to take 3 sets. I never had high hopes for SC as I knew their Pin hitters struggle to serve receive. Everyone serves at their big hitter and she cannot receive. I cannot beleive they beat Ravenwood. I want them to win, don't get me wrong, just didn't think they'd be able to stay in system.
Siegel wins in 5. Btw, Heritage setter is the real deal. Two great setters going at it.
Holy cow, did anyone see the Siegel vs DB game? Did DB just feel the pressure? What a heart breaking loss for them. 15-3 last set. Hoping Siegel can catch fire and beat Brentwood tomorrow. But they are better in every position.
siegel stole a set from Brentwood earlier today, but every other set was way out of reach. I don't see any reason why Brentwood does anything but win in 3 tomorrow.
Siegel rode the wave of emotion in the first set to a victory. Brentwoods composure was on full display, not a bit in panic in the girls. They rolled up their sleeves and went to work after the first set. Siegel might steal the first set again today but in the end I feel like the 6peat will happen. Go Bruins.
I agree, but I hope so much that it's a good match. Would love to see another program win a championship. Brentwood is better in every position.
This year is probably not the year for a different team. Brentwood looses a 4 year setter and 4 year bro this year and no seniors next year so you could get your wish a year from now.
I admit it would be a cool thing to see someone else win one now and again, but I don't think its not gonna happen this year. Bruins in 3 is my prediction. | {

Drug abuse affects the lives of so many people. Not only does the abuser suffer, but the abuser's entire family, friends and colleagues suffer as well. Drug abuse is not a matter of weak willpower or morality; it's a vicious cycle that causes changes in the brain that lead to stronger impulses to use. Without help, drug abuse destroys lives. But with the right support and treatment at a Los Angeles drug rehab center, recovery is possible.
In addition to these common forms of drug addiction treatment, many Los Angeles drug rehabs offer additional treatment programs such as holistic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dual-diagnosis therapy.
At Casa Palmera we strongly believe that a comprehensive approach utilizing body-mind-spirit therapies, combined with sound conventional care, is the most complete and effective healing approach for renewal and rehabilitation.

Q: Getting data from XMLHttpRequest responseText i'm using ajax to get some data which i want to use after ajax is done. however i can't manipulate the response
here's my code
function testAjax() {
direc = "controller.php";
return $.ajax({url: direc});
}
var obj = testAjax();
console.log(obj);
console.log(obj.responseText);
console.log(obj) returns this :

responseText
"[{"CLICREDIT_Cod":"1002","CLICREDIT_Credit":"2000","CLICREDIT_FlagEstad":"1"}]"
console.log(obj.responseText) returns this :
(an empty string)
is there a way to manipulate that data? i've tried some stuff like JSON.parse but nothing seems to work, any help would be appreciated.
thanks
A: This is asynchronous, you need to use the .done() function. Take a look at the sample here.
A: Since ajax is async you have to use then:
promise.then( doneCallback, failCallback )
function testAjax() {
direc = "controller.php";
return $.ajax({
url: direc
});
}
var obj = testAjax();
obj.then(function(result) {
console.log(result);
}, function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert(xhr.status);
alert(thrownError);
});
A: You can use callback function after success. Browser does not wait for a response and continue with code. so when browser get result, callback function will hit.
$.ajax({url: direc, success: doSmth});
function doSmth(data){
//do something with data
}
A: use success() to get response of requested page
var responseText={};
$.ajax({url: 'controller.php',
type:"POST",
success: function(data)
{
responseText= data;
}});

Dyesol Commentary and Update – 3rd Quarter 2009
Retains strong cash position – over $6.1 Million cash on hand
Burn rate drops by 24%
Revenue growth of over 70% re FY 2008
Cash inflows maintained
Operational expenditure prioritised to projects
Low capital expenditure
Solid order book for 4th Quarter and beyond
No debt
Now, three quarters through FY 2009, a year in which nearly all industrial companies have suffered a drastic drop in revenue and substantial reduction of cash, Dyesol continues to achieve revenue growth, with income at the end of the 3rd Quarter being 70% greater than that achieved for the whole FY2008. Meanwhile the company has substantially reduced cash burn rate while maintaining excellent progress on all projects. By the key measure of operational cash burn, Dyesol has reduced its expenditure by nearly $1M in the quarter, a reduction of 24% in burn. During the quarter, the company met another key milestone in our partnership project with Corus and announced the first stage commitments from projects in Korea and Turkey – moving the company closer to full commercialisation. Last week, at the Dyesol sponsored conference in Nara, Japan, attended by a record 250 delegates, Dyesol announced the achievement of over 12% efficiency for an industrial size tandem cell – demonstrating that the company is also expanding and strengthening its IP portfolio.
At the end of the quarter Dyesol has $6.137M at bank and continues to have no debt. The monthly burn rate for the quarter averaged $560K indicating that cash reserves are close to one year of operations. The employment levels at Dyesol are now steady as we have completed expansion of the team in the UK to meet the accelerated project schedule. Further business expansion in other jurisdictions will depend on additional funds being secured from partners, government or investors.
In investment activities, as announced in the previous quarter, Dyesol has continued to reduce expenditure on capital equipment as nearly all requirements for current projects have been committed.

Economic survivalists take root
By Judy Keen, USA TODAY
When the economy started to squeeze the Wojtowicz family, they gave up vacation cruises, restaurant meals, new clothes and high-tech toys to become 21st-century homesteaders.
Now Patrick Wojtowicz, 36, his wife Melissa, 37, and daughter Gabrielle, 15, raise pigs and chickens for food on 40 acres near Alma, Mich. They're planning a garden and installing a wood furnace. They disconnected the satellite TV and radio, ditched their dishwasher and a big truck and started buying clothes at resale shops.

"As long as we can keep decreasing our bills, we can keep making less money," Patrick says. "We're not saying this is right for everybody, but it's right for us."
Hard times are creating economic survivalists such as the Wojtowicz family who are paring expenses by becoming more self-sufficient.
Reviving "almost lost" skills and preparing for tough days make people feel more in control, says Charlotte Richert, consumer sciences educator for Oklahoma State University's Extension Service in Tulsa County.
Karen Gulliver, MBA program chair at Argosy University in Eagan, Minn., expects the movement to grow as the sour economy forces people to reassess priorities. People are asking, "Do I really want to be 100% vulnerable with no self-sufficiency skills if something happens?" she says.
Some signs of the trend:
•Stockpiling. When the stock market drops, orders surge for freeze-dried food, survival kits and emergency supplies, says Nitro-Pak president Harry Weyandt. One best seller: a $3,375 food reserve that feeds four people for three months.
•Gardening. Sales of vegetable seeds and transplants are up 30% from 2008 at W. Atlee Burpee, the USA's largest seed company. The National Gardening Association says 7 million more households will grow food this year than in 2008 — a 19% rise. A book on building root cellars is the top seller at Johnny's Selected Seeds in Winslow, Maine, supervisor Joann Matuzas says.
•Canning. Jarden Corp. says sales of its Ball and Kerr canning and preserving products are up more than 30% from 2008. Sonya Staffan, owner of The Jam and Jelly Lady commercial cannery in Lebanon, Ohio, is offering twice as many classes this year.
•Sewing. More people are learning to sew so they can mend clothes and make home décor, says Rachel Cohen, spokeswoman for SVP Worldwide, owner of sewing-products makers Singer and Husqvarna Viking.
•Relocating. Steve Saltman, general manager of LandAndFarm.com, a national real estate company, says more customers want to "live simply in a less-expensive place." Jonathan Rawles of SurvivalRealty.com says more people moving to rural areas "are specifically worried about economic and social instability."
Patrick Wojtowicz's family decided to transform their lives when his paycheck began to shrink last year. A truck driver, he was spending more time on the road, paying his own expenses while waiting for loads. He disliked being away from home for weeks at a time and worried about losing his job. Melissa Wojtowicz is self-employed and works from home.
Their dual paychecks allowed them to live comfortably, but they weren't satisfied, Patrick says. "We would basically buy stuff to feel good," he says. "When that stuff stopped filling the voids we had, we started analyzing what it was that we were really missing. We were missing being around each other."
The Wojtowiczes made a list of the things they could give up if Patrick quit his job and they relied on Melissa's income. They already lived in a house on property Patrick inherited from his father a few years ago.
Gabrielle "put up enough resistance to qualify as being a teenager," Patrick says, but soon she was reminding her parents to turn off lights to save electricity.
Steps such as that, and keeping the thermostat set on 63 degrees this winter, cut monthly electric bills from $300 to $150, Patrick says. He hunts deer and turkeys. Instead of buying books and going to movies, they visit the library weekly. For Christmas, they got canning gear so they can preserve the food they grow.
"The earn, spend, earn era has come to an end for us," he says on truenorthfound.blogspot.com, their blog. "The idea of living a fuller, more satisfying life seems simple to us now. ... Money, cash, credit, maybe they don't matter. Maybe, just maybe, it is those things that impede our ability to be truly happy."
Whatever happens to the economy, the Wojtowicz family hopes to remain self-sufficient. Instead of spending their tax refund, as they usually did, they used it to pay down debt. They stopped using credit cards and they're trying to build up savings. "I'm working harder than ever," Patrick says, "but it's more satisfying work and ... it's much easier to sleep at night."

Turkey positions for large-scale DSC manufacture
Dyesol has been engaged by Nesli Dye Solar Cells Enerji Sistemleri Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (Nesli) to complete a detailed feasibility study establishing a glass-based DSC volume manufacturing facility in Turkey. Nesli has secured a line of funding for a phased development program, with initial capacity growing in discrete stages to 100,000m2 before expanding to a 500,000m2 manufacturing capability in the subsequent stage. Nesli is supported in the commercialisation by the Turkish Development Bank (Turkiye Kalkinma Bankasi – TKB).
The Contract for Supply with Nesli for this initial phase is valued at €200,000 (approx. AU$400,000) and is part of a potential €60 Million program involving Dyesol providing on-going technical support, production equipment and DSC manufacturing materials. This ensures a long-term strategic relationship between the two companies, continuing demand for Dyesol materials and a defined growth path for the technology.
Gordon Thompson, Dyesol Director, says "The feasibility study provides the launching pad for a long-term strategic relationship which will be a win-win situation for both Nesli and Dyesol in seeding and growing the DSC market in Turkey". Unal Kazak, Director of Nesli, agrees "The decision to engage the world leaders in the commercialisation of DSC to undertake this study and be our long term partners in a secure relationship is essential to achieve growth targets".
The advantage of Dyesol's DSC technology over conventional photovoltaic technology is its lower facility cost, lower energy for manufacture, proportionally higher output of electricity in ambient light conditions, and the ability to directly incorporate it into buildings as passive electricity generators – multifunctional building panels. This is known as BIPV or building integrated photovoltaics.
Global experts meet in Japan to advance industrialisation of Dye Solar Cells
Sydney, 16 April 2009 – For the first time since its inception in Australia in 2006, the International Conference on the Industrialisation of Dye Solar Cells (DSC-IC 2009) will be held in Asia this year, in Nara, Japan, from April 22 to 24. This is the third International Conference on the Industrialisation of DSC, building on the success of previous DSC-IC conferences in St Gallen, Switzerland and Canberra, Australia.
The strength and growth of the photovoltaic industry in Japan, together with the advancements in Dye Solar Cell (DSC) technology and research within the East Asia region, make this venue the ideal place to bring together leading scientists, technologists and industrialists from the field of DSC.
Following the official opening by Nara Governor Arai, joint conference chairpersons, Professor Shozo Yanagida and Professor Tsutomu Miyasaka, will be joined by over 250 participants, including top academic, institutional, government and industry experts in DSC technology.
Leading experts from around the world spearheading the commercialisation of DSC technology, including Professor Michael Graetzel, Professor Anders Hagfeldt, Professor Laurence Peter, Professor Hironori Arakawa and Dyesol's Dr Gavin Tulloch and Dr Hans Desilvestro, are just a few of the long list of impressive speakers confirmed for the conference next week.
More than ever, the pace of DSC commercialisation is being dictated by urgent global economic and environmental drivers. As recently as the April G20 meeting in London, governments have demonstrated their commitment to meeting the challenges of global warming through promises of new legislation and policy, thus creating significant new opportunities for DSC technologies. DSC technology is the most advanced of the third generation technologies and promises solutions where other technologies cannot deliver. G8 Environment Ministers meet in Sicily next week to determine how to accelerate the reduction of the worldwide carbon footprint through energy efficiency and low energy renewables such as DSC. .
The advantages of DSC over conventional silicon-based photovoltaic technology are its lower cost, lower embodied energy for both the manufacturing plant and production, greater output of electricity in ambient and low light conditions, and the ability to be directly incorporated into buildings as active electricity generating glass facades and steel roofs – building products that combine energy generation with energy efficiency.
The global solar photovoltaic market was valued at almost US $30 billion in 2008 and is forecast to reach US$100 billion in revenues by 2013.
Dyesol Limited is pleased to be the lead sponsor of the conference.
For further information contact Catherine Gleeson on +61 (0)2 6299 1592.
Dyesol is located in Queanbeyan NSW (near Canberra) and in August 2005 was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX Code 'DYE"). Dyesol manufactures and supplies a range of Dye Solar Cell products comprising equipment, chemicals, materials, components and related services to researchers and manufacturers of DSC. The Company is playing a key role in taking this third generation solar technology out of the laboratory and into the community.

GE, Vestas Lead U.S. Wind Turbine Sales, Taking 56% of Market
April 12 (Bloomberg) -- General Electric Co. and Vestas Wind Systems A/S, the world's two largest suppliers of wind turbines, sold a record 4,648 megawatts in the U.S. last year, taking 56 percent of the total market, an industry group said.
Installations rose 58 percent to 8,300 megawatts. Wind turbines accounted for 42 percent of all new generating capacity in the U.S., almost matching the additions of natural gas fueled plants, the Washington-based American Wind Energy Association said today in a statement.
Juno, Florida-based FPL Group Inc.'s NextEra Energy Resources ranked first among companies that install wind turbines, with 25 percent of U.S. generation totaling 25,300 megawatts, enough to power 7 million homes, the group said. That's about 2.5 percent of total U.S. power supply. The U.S. leads the world in wind-power capacity.
Texas and Iowa have the most wind generation, followed by California and Minnesota. Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy Inc. leads regulated utilities in wind-power production. Minnesota leads the nation in the share of power coming from wind at 7.5 percent.
President Barack Obama set a goal of doubling U.S. renewable energy over three years. Wind turbines are typically the cheapest source of renewable energy.
Employment in the wind industry rose 70 percent from a year ago to 85,000, the trade association said.
GE, based in Fairfield, Connecticut, retained the lead in largest number of wind turbines installed, with a 43 percent market share, the group said. Randers, Denmark-based Vestas had 13 percent, followed by Siemens AG and Suzlon Energy Ltd. with 9 percent each.
Developers were taking advantage of federal and state incentives to encourage renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Installations this year have stalled as a credit crisis dried up financing, the wind association said.

Another top attraction in Corona Heights in San Francisco is the Randall Museum. This free kids' museum sits on Museum Way and is surrounded on three sides by Corona Heights Park.
This recently remodeled SF museum features exhibits for kids of all ages.
The Live Animal Exhibit is a popular option. Here you will see rescue animals that are primarily species that are local to the areas around here. The exhibit is set up by habitat, so you can learn more about both the animals and where they commonly live.
Riding the Rails is also a hot spot in this museum. It's a hands-on railroad themed exhibit. Here your kids and you can hop aboard the scale model of a caboose. You can also check out a train model exhibit that features many of SF's largest buildings set up around the train tracks.
The Randall Museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday. It is closed on Sunday and Monday.
Mount Olympus is another interesting stop in Corona Heights in San Francisco. The spot used to be considered the center of San Francisco. At the top, it featured a large sculpture of named the Triumph of Light. It was gifted to the city by Adolph Sutro, who was a mayor of SF and built the Sutro Baths out near Ocean Beach.
Today, the sculpture was removed at one point, and sadly has been lost, but its stone pedestal is still on display. You can climb the stairs to this tiny park and check out the views. You can also imagine what it was like here when it featured a massive sculpture on the top.

A person aggrieved by his assessment may have filed a Tax Year 2017 Abatement Application with the local assessor. That Application was generally due no later than March 1, 2018. The median equalization ratio when applied to the market value can have a significant impact on the degree of merit a case has. The proper assessment of a property is generally the market vlaue mutiplied by the median equalization ratio. The market value of the property is one-half the issue and the equalization ratio is the other half of the issue. The equalization ratio is as important as the market value. At trial both the market value of the subject property and the median equalization ratio utilized by the assessor must be proven to the satisfaction of the Judge. The failure to prove both the median equalization ratio utilized and the market value of the property means no tax relief.
Most communities in New Hampshire have sent out their 2017 property tax bills during October and November of 2017. These tax bills have an assessing date of April 1, 2017. The property tax assessment should equal the fee simple market value of the property as of April 1, 2017, multiplied by the jurisdiction's median assessment ratio. If your property is assessed in excess of that amount you may have grounds for a property tax appeal. In general abatement applications must be filed with the local assessors by March 1, 2018. If you are aggrieved by the action or inaction of the local assessors, you may file a petition with the State Board of Tax and Land Appeals or the Superior Court in the County where the property is located. There you will be afforded a full hearing on the merits where the rules of evidence will apply.
Most communities in New Hampshire will be sending out there Tax Year 2016 property tax bills this fall. These tax bills are for the assessment date of April 1, 2016. If a person is aggrieved by the assessment he may file an Abatement Application with the local Assessors. This Application must generally be filed no later than March 1, 2017. The Assessors have until July 1, 2017 to respond to the Application. If the Applicant is not satisfied with the Assessors\' response he may file a Petition at the State of New Hampshire Board of Tax and Land Appeals or the Superior Court in the County where the property is located no later than September 1, 2017. The Applicant may not file at both the Board of Tax and Land Appeals and the Superior Court. In either forum the taxpayer will be afforded a hearing where he must prove that his property is over assessed.
New Hampshire 2015 Abatement Applications pertain to an April 1, 2015 assessing date. Those Abatement Applications generally had a March 1, 2016 filing deadline with the local assessor. The deadline to appeal a decision by the assessors is generally September 1, 2016. The applicant is afforded two avenues of appeal. One is at the State Board of Tax and Land Appeals (BTLA) and the other is the Superior Court in the county where the property is located. The applicant may not file in both places. The BTLA is a quasi-judicial administrative board. The members of the BTLA are appointed by the New Hampshire Supreme Court for three year terms. A Superior Court Judge has a life time appointment. Either forum has the final say on questions of fact, such as what is the market value of the property. Only questions of law may be appealed further.
Most jurisdictions in New Hampshire have sent out there 2015 property tax bills. The valuation date for the 2015 property tax bills is April 1, 2015. If a party is aggrieved by the assessment he has until March 1, 2016 to file an Abatement Application. An Applicant must be careful to consider the tax assessment on all property that he owns in the jurisdiction. New Hampshire has an unusal rule whereby the Assessors may take into account the assessment of each parcel of property owned by the Applicant despite the fact that only one parcel of property is being appealed. The Assessors can deny the Applicant's Abatement on one over assessed parcel of property if the Applicant owns an under assessed parcel of property in the same jurisdiction. In other words, the Assessors may set off one property tax assessment against another property tax assessment if it is owned by the same entity.
The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration should be publishing its Tax Year 2014 ratio lists soon. These lists are extremely important to a property tax appeal case as they contain the median assessment ratio for each community as of April 1, 2014. The filing deadline for Tax Year 2014 was generally March 1, 2015. In many cases Applicants could not be fully aware of the merits of their case at the time of filing. To a certain extent Applicants are acting on a "hunch" until the ratio lists are made public. The market value of real estate must be multiplied by the assessment ratio in order to arrive at a proper assessed value. This assessment ratio can be more than 100% or less than 100% depending upon market conditions. A proper assessed value can be more than market value of less than market value.
In New Hampshire some taxing jurisdictions send out what is known as an "inventory blank" to each property owner. This form asks for a description of all real estate owned as well as other questions to assist the assessors in assessing property within their jurisdiction. If an inventory blank is sent out by the assessors they do so by March 25. If you receive an inventory blank it must be completed and filed with the assessors by April 15. The failure to file the inventory blank will result in the barring of a future tax appeal. In addition, there may be a penalty assessed to the owner of up to $50.00. Many taxing jurisdictions do not send out inventory blanks. In the jurisdictions that due send them out, take care to respond fully and timely. The viability of your future tax appeal may depend on it.
Most Communities in New Hampshire will be sending out their 2014 property tax bills this October and November. These tax bills have an assessing date of April 1, 2014. The property tax assessment of taxable real estate should be the fee simple market value of the property as of April 1, 2014, multiplied by the jurisdiction's median assessment ratio. If your property is assessed in excess of that you may have grounds for a property tax appeal. In general Abatement Applications must be filed with the local assessors by March 1, 2015. If you are aggrieved by the action or inaction of the local assessors you may file a petition with the State Board of Tax and Land Appeals or the Superior Court in the County where the property is located. There you will be afforded a full hearing on the merits where the rules of evidence will apply.
The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration will be publishing its Tax Year 2013 ratio list within the next few months. These lists are very important as they contain the median assessment ratio for each community as of April 1, 2013. The filing deadline for Tax Year 2013 was generally March 1, 2014. Therefore in many cases Applicants could not be fully aware of the merits of their Application at the time of filing. To a certain extent Applicants are sometimes navigating on "a moonless landscape at midnight" until the ratio lists are made public.
In New Hampshire the market value of real estate must be multiplied by the assessment ratio in order to arrive at a proper assessed value. This assessment ratio can be more than 100% or less than 100% depending upon market conditions. Thus a proper assessed value can be more or less than market value.
A person aggrieved by his assessment may have filed a tax year 2011 Application for Abatement with the local assessor. That application was generally due no later than March 1, 2012. The merits of that filing may not be fully known until May or June of 2012. The reason is that the tax year 2011 equalization ratio is not published by the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration until then. Applicants should take special notice of the median equalization ratio in the community where they filed. That ratio when applied to the market value can have a significant impact on the degree of merit a case has. The proper assessment of a property is generally the market value multiplied by the median equalization ratio. The market value of the property is one-half the issue and the equalization ratio is the other half of the issue. One is as important as the other.
Most jurisdictions in New Hampshire will be sending out their tax year 2011 property tax bills in October or November of 2011. That tax bill has an assessing date of April 1, 2011. The tax bill should reflect the market value of the subject property multiplied by the median assessment ratio. In most cases if the taxpayer is aggrieved he may file an Abatement Application with the local assessors on or before March 1, 2012. If the taxpayer is denied in most cases he may then file a petition with The State Board of Tax and Land Appeals or the Superior Court no later than September 1, 2012. In most cases if the assessor fails to act on the Abatement Application by July 1, 2012, the taxpayer may then file with the Board of Tax and Land Appeals or in the Superior Court no later than September 1, 2012.
In New Hampshire there is a peculiar rule that is when appealing your property tax assessment you must consider the assessments of all your other property within the jurisdiction.
For example if one property you own and pay taxes on is over assessed by a certain amount and the assessment of the other property you own and pay taxes on is under assessed by the same amount there is no abatement. The two assessments, the one that is too high and the other that is too low cancel each other out. It is still possible to prove a case where multiple properties are owned but you must prove value on all the properties in the jurisdiction. This can make the task at hand significantly more difficult than at first anticipated. It is easy to see how this unusual rule can prove to be an unpleasant surprise to the unwary.
The New Hampshire Department of Revenue will be publishing its Tax Year 2010 ratio list within the next few months. This ratio list is very important as it reports the mean and median assessment ratios of each community in New Hampshire as of April 1, 2010 which is the assessing date for Tax Year 2010. The filing deadline for Tax Year 2010 Abatement Applications was generally March 1, 2011. Applicants cannot be fully aware of the merits of their Application until they know the assessment ratio. To a certain extent applicants are operating in the dark until the ratio lists are published. In New Hampshire the market value of real estate must be multiplied by the assessment ratio in order to arrive at a proper assessed value. Due to a generally decline in real estate values increasingly the assessment ratios are exceeding 100%. Thus the proper assessed value can be in excess of market value.
In New Hampshire the tax year 2010 real estate tax bills have been sent out. These tax bills have an assessing or valuation date of April 1, 2010. The equalization ratios vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Many jurisdictions will have equalization ratios in excess of 100%. This may mean that a proper assessment is actually in excess of market value. If a taxpayer is aggrieved by the assessment he may file an Abatement Application with the local assessors on or before March 1, 2011. The assessor has until July 1, 2011 to either grant or deny the Abatement Application. If after July 1, 2011 or after a denial or after an action by the assessors the taxpayer is still aggrieved, the taxpayer may file on or before September 1, 2011 a petition with the State Board of Tax and Land appeals or with the Superior Court in the county where the property is located.
Most communities in New Hampshire will be sending out their tax year 2010 property tax bills before the end of the year. The tax year 2010 tax bills have a valuation date of April 1, 2010. Many jurisdictions in New Hampshire are in the process of revaluation. If a person is aggrieved by the assessment he may file an Abatement Application with the local assessors by March 1, 2011. The assessors have until July 1, 2011 to respond to the Abatement Application. If the assessors fail to respond to the application the applicant may file a petition in the Superior Court in the county where the property is located or with the State Board of Tax and Land Appeals by September 1, 2011. The Superior Court or the State Board of Tax and Land Appeals is the final arbiter of fact. There is rarely a viable appeal from a decision of either forum.
The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration will be publishing the tax year 2008 equalization ratios this spring. The tax year 2008 has an assessing date of April 1, 2008. The filing deadline for tax year 2008 was March 1, 2009. In New Hampshire the equalization ratio is essential in determining whether or not your property is assessed properly. Many taxpayers filed tax year 2008 appeals not knowing what the equalization ratios were. When the equalization ratios are published taxpayers will have much better understanding of how strong or weak their appeals are. If your property is worth $1,000,000 and the equalization ratio is 50% the proper assessment is $500,000. If the equalization ratio is 100% the proper assessment is $1,000,000. If the equalization ratio is 150% the proper assessment is $1,500,000. With recent change in the real estate market we may see significant changes in the equalization ratios.
Now May Be The Time To File!
Most jurisdictions in New Hampshire have sent out their tax year 2008 property tax bills. The tax year 2008 has an assessing date of April 1, 2008. In most cases the deadline for filing an abatement application with the local assessors is March 1, 2009. In New Hampshire the assessment ratio is an integral part of most property tax appeals. If a property has a market value of $1,000,000 and the assessment ratio is 90% the just and proportionate assessment is $900,000. If the assessment ratio is 110% the same property would have a just and proportionate assessment of $1,100,000. The problem is that the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration doesn't officially determine assessment ratios until the spring of 2009 which is after the March 1, 2009 abatement application filing deadline. If there is a significant doubt as to the justness of the assessment it behooves the taxpayer to protect his rights by filing before the March 1, 2009 deadline.
In the case of Appeal of Patrick Walsh & a. 156 NH 347 (2007) the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that the taxpayers failed to allow the assessors access to inspect the subject property would lose their right of appeal in a tax abatement case. In this case the taxpayer never actually refused to allow the assessors to inspect the subject property. The taxpayers were merely "unresponsive" to the assessors' requests for access to the subject property. The Supreme Court ruled that the unresponsiveness was tantamount to a refusal to grant consent to an inspection. This refusal was fatal to the taxpayers' appeal. In New Hampshire if requested you must allow the assessors access to the property under appeal for the purpose of an inspection. This means that you cannot simply ignore their request to inspect the subject property. If you do, your appeal will probably not survive.

Temple University | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Designed by Thomas Lonsdale in 1892 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, College Hall was Temple University's second campus building and once served as the university's main classroom facility. After a major fire and standing vacant for nearly twenty years, Temple chose to restore and rehabilitate the building to become the new home for the James E. Beasley School of Law.
The scope of VMA's work included exterior restoration and the creation of a new, accessible entrance, all of which needed to comply with preservation-related guidelines established by the Secretary of the Interior and the Philadelphia Historic Commission.
VMA designed the sensitive new entry addition by transforming what was the original back of the building into a main entrance that opens up onto a prominent campus square and connected to a new elevator inserted into the original building. Improvements also included new gutters and flashing, the restoration of all masonry, and reglazing the historic wood windows to improve energy efficiency. After analysis unexpectedly revealed that the existing pine roof trusses had deteriorated, a new steel structure was installed in its place with slate roofing to replicate the building's original appearance.

Q: adding foreign key to a composite primary key using alter command is showing error 1215 I've used a different database as well as the tables than for which I was getting the error,but still the error persists....
Here are the three tables:
Table a:
create table a(q int,w int,primary key(q,w));//IMPORTANT:q then w
q and w form the composite primary keys.
Table b:
create table b(e int,r int);
Table 3:
create table c(t int,y int);
alter table b add foreign key(e) references a(q);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec)
This alter command makes e as foreign key to q of table a('first' primary key).
If I try to make another attribute as foreign key to the second primary key i.e 'w',it shows error 1215
alter table c add foreign key(t) references a(w);
ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint
Why is it not taking 't' as foreign key to 'SECOND' primary key i.e 'w'.
"I can make any of them as foreign key to first primary key(q),but none of them can be made to second one(w)".
This may be confusing,but when i dropped and created all of 'em again by only changing (q,w) to (w,q) while creating table a,w can be refered by others but not a.
create table a(q int,w int,primary key(w,q));
alter table c add foreign key(t) references a(w);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.16 sec)
alter table b add foreign key(e) references a(q);
ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint
Please Help Me....It took Whole day for me..but I couldn't find why its happening...
A:
InnoDB permits a foreign key to reference any index column or group of
columns. However, in the referenced table, there must be an index
where the referenced columns are listed as the first columns in the
same order
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/create-table-foreign-keys.html
A: This is image of creted foreign key using alter command using oracle_ express_11eg software. what i really did here that i made two tables names test and students. the test table consisting of test id, name etc. and students table again consisting of id, name etc. and in both the tables id was named primary key using command "primary key(id)" then i write the command "alter table test,add foreign key(id),references students(id);" to create foreign key,isn't that simple?

May 8th is the date of the unconditional capitulation of the German Wehrmacht and the official end of World War Two in Europe. The victory of the Allied troops over the National Socialist regime ended the criminal war of aggression and annihilation, as well as the racist and political persecution and murder of millions of people. May 8th is not an official memorial of commemoration day in Austria.
The quickly carried out "denazification", the rapid reoccupation of important positions with (former) National Socialists, the limited recognition of the victims of the Nazi regime, and the failure to invite émigrés to return to Austria show a lack of 'turning point'. This is also evidenced by the so-called "victim myth" and the celebration of the Austrian national holiday on October 26th: The end of the occupation and the beginning of Austria's neutrality.
The belated reappraisal of Austria's Nazi history and the establishment of a collective memorial culture favour the reinterpretation of May 8th and the use on this day of the Vienna Heldenplatz (Heroes' Square) by the extreme Right fraternities of the Wiener Korporationsring (WKR). In the 1990s, these fraternities began to hold memorial ceremonies for the fallen Wehrmacht soldiers and members of the SS criminal organisations at the crypt.
The room in which the crypt is in the right wing of the Burgtor and was built in the 1930s as a memorial space for the soldiers of the First World War. The fusion, after WWII, of the memorial for soldiers of both world wars meant some confusion about which "Heimat" was being fought for.
In 1997, all parties in the Austrian parliament voted for May 5th to be established as the Austrian national memorial day. From 1998, representatives of the Austrian government have, on this date – the anniversary of the liberation of the Mauthausen Concentration Camp –held a memorial day against violence and racism in memory of the victims of National Socialism.
The first efforts to resist the development of May 8th into a day on which the defeat of the German Wehrmacht is mourned came in 2012 through the civic society alliance "Jetzt Zeichen setzen". Since 2013, the Festival of Joy, organised by the Austrian Mauthausen Committee, has been held on Vienna's Heldenplatz, featuring a free concert by the Wiener Symphoniker. This was also the first year that the Austrian army held a vigil outside of the crypt. Austria's official position is clear: May 8th is a day of joy about the end of the Nazi regime in Europe and is dedicated to the memory of the victims of a politics of persecution and annihilation. | {

A look at upcoming films and their Facebook performance over the past week
Facebook Watch - 'Krampus' Turns Heads With Teaser Trailer
By Alex Edghill
Monday Morning Update: After The Visit took charge last week, this week another horror led all Facebook like increases in Krampus. The horror-comedy rose a sharp 113k new likes over the past week, almost a 300% increase. The film was largely unknown until its teaser dropped last week and many horror faithfuls clearly ate it up quickly. Its still very low in overall tweets (150,858), but with 10 weeks till release it is well poised to develop a social media following to bolster its receipts. The film is based on the folklore of many European cultures which feature a horned, hooved demon who is essentially the anti-Santa. Most North Americans not of European descent will be unaware of the character but the spooky trailer promises that it will be a pretty unique offering during this year's holiday season which could see it be a surprise success.
Director Michael Dougherty is best known for his work as a writer and collaborator with Bryan Singer on large scale comic-book films such as X2, Superman Returns and the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse but his sole past feature film directorial credits are in the horror genre with the cult hit Trick r' Treat. Though the film never saw a theatrical release it gained many fans in critics and horror faithful on its DVD release and has been given a place in more than one prominent best of horror movie lists. Needless to say Krampus is highly anticipated with horror faithfuls and critics alike.
The rest of the top 5 movers are made up with high anticipated September releases with the lone exception of Deadpool since he it still very much the talk of the town for many movie enthusiasts. The biggest surprise of the rest of the list would have to be The Intern making it into the fray. With an appeal to an older crowd I had not expected it to make any appearances near the top of either of our social media lists but yet here it is. Anne Hathaway no doubt can help bridge the gap between younger and older audiences and perhaps Nancy Meyers' first film in 6 years (the longest gap in her career) has people excited. Whatever the reason I'm amping up my expectations for its potential accordingly.

Regardless of where you fall in the recent Supreme Court nomination debacle, there is plenty of disappointment to wrap oneself in.
I suppose it is going to be easy for anyone to see themselves on the "winning" side or the "loosing" side, but there is even more likelihood of all of us ending up on the losing side.
I have great concerns about "due process" or the lack thereof in the entire proceedings.
There seemed to be no presumption of innocence until "proven" guilty. Perhaps there is time for that, but it was not a component of the discussion as much as many people seemed to think it was.
Both sides, and all opinions in between, seemed loaded with "knowing" the answers as opposed to recognizing there were, there are, simply way too many questions.
The real danger is the vigilante mentality that runs amuck today.
We use words like, seems credible, does not seem credible, X did this, Y did that, and draw conclusions according to one's agenda regardless of the actual truth of the matter. In many instances these conclusions could not be supported by the facts even if we knew them. To further support our position, we turn what we "make up," the conclusions we come to, TO BE THE FACTS.
We all seem to have forgotten the basic stuff we learned in Kindergarten.
We have forgotten, perhaps the only useful tenant of any of the religions around the world, living by the Golden Rule. If only more Christians acted like Christians. I am not going to add in the other religions, because we live in a predominantly Christian country and that fact appears to make it more part of the problem than part of any solution.
We are deeply divided in this country and it is not logical that 50% are wrong and 50% are correct. Is either side ready to accept the possibility they are wrong? The only option for movement that I see is for both sides to recognize they are both wrong and both right.
Our laws are in place to protect all of us.
If those laws rub up against one's personal beliefs, is it the laws that are wrong or the beliefs that are wrong? If we bring God into the conversation, and there are probably just as many that cling to God on the left as on the right, can there actually BE a conversation? How can God possibly be on both sides?
In this adult version of "my dad can beat up your dad," we have my beliefs can beat up your beliefs, or are better than your beliefs, or are more important than your beliefs.
Perhaps, it is beliefs that is the problem to begin with and not the solution at all.
Theoretically we build laws that allow each of us to be who we are, so we can belief what we want to believe, become what we can become, while doing no harm to others. When those laws rub up against our own personal beliefs, we must ask the question, do they prevent us from having our own dream? Many people seem to think it is the "superior dream" that wins. This is America, everyone's dream is equal.
Of course, there are grey areas that only time can sort out. We must wrestle with "public good" vs "individual good." Sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the individual, and yet we must also avoid the tyranny of the masses.
This blindness, this denial, this head-in-the-sand mentality will always have a reckoning. If not in our lifetime, perhaps our children's.
We defend our illusion with denial of science. We support what we want to believe with junk science. We see ourselves embracing superstition over logic, and fear over bravery. We see the pursuit of knowledge as dangerous to our way of life.
We must move past the lynch mob mentality, as we refuse to wear the white robes and pointy hats. We must be vigilant in making sure we are not embracing tyranny clothed in the appearance of righteousness—religious or otherwise.
We obviously need good laws to protect ourselves from each other, but more important to protect ourselves from ourselves.
We are obviously, as the past weeks have proven, not to be trusted. | {

Don't judge a book by its cover. Or maybe just judge a little.
Isn't this what we have always been told? Don't judge anyone too quickly, it's rude. Shame on you.
Yet at the same time, we are told "dress to impress" because first impressions are the most important. Wouldn't that be because someone is judging us off our appearance?
Oh the contradictions. Thank you everyone for teaching us one thing, only to enforce the complete opposite.
So what do we do? Do we be ourselves or be the person who will be accepted by the general public? No wonder our youth of today are in a constant battle about appearance because this is when we first start to realize that appearance matters. Peers start to judge and gossip about each other in school. They make fun of those who are different than them. Then in college we say "I don't care what people think; I'll wear sweatpants everyday if I want!" Then we graduate and realize we need buy business casual attire because it actually does matter how we look; no more piercings everywhere, no huge tattoos, no crazy hair, no crazy ensembles.
It is a constant battle between wanting to be liked and wanting to be independent. What should we teach as more important? There is no easy answer for this one. Always be true to yourself, even if that means wearing different clothes or having a different attitude as long as you are working toward a goal you have set for yourself. Most will find that your true goals are easy to attain without changing much about yourself because it matches your personality anyway. Do things in the name of you. Do it for yourself. Things always have a way of working out.
Some people say judging others is a sin. But sometimes it just pops in our head. The key is to not let that initial judgment be the lasting one. Maybe your initial judgment of someone is correct but give yourself time to be wrong; I usually am. | {

In 2006, Paul Yule, a South African born, British documentary maker, directed & produced the film 'NOT CRICKET', investigating the history behind the D'Oliveira Affair, as it was to become known. This is an extract from an Interview Paul Yule gave after the film was released.
Interviewer: Why would people who've never heard of D'Oliveira or have no interest in cricket enjoy your film?
Paul Yule: It was a pivotal point in late 20th-century politics. It led to the sporting boycott of South Africa, which is what led, as much as any other thing, to the fall of apartheid. It's an amazing example of the connection between sport and politics. When you see the British Establishment pulling together to make the unthinkable happen, it's quite something. It's one of those lovely stories where exactly what we thought had gone on has now been proved to be the case with the opening of the archives in South Africa.
Paul Yule: Exactly. Everything was being run from Pretoria to exclude D'Oliveira. There is incontrovertible evidence of collusion between the South African cricket authorities and the South African government; whereas in England the MCC said they were just cricket people and had nothing to do with the government. On the contrary, it's been proved that they worked totally together. It's also more than that. We can see that there was collusion between the MCC and the South African government. As far as they were concerned, to be blunt, it was fine that D'Oliveira was excluded.
Interviewer: What was the immediate significance of the D'Oliveira affair?
Paul Yule: What D'Oliveira did was to help show the outside world what apartheid really was. The National Party introduced racial segregation when they came to power in 1948 but South Africa continued to be part of the Commonwealth after that. Many people didn't really understand what was going on there until the D'Oliveira Affair. Here was a man who didn't look particularly dark-skinned, but the inequity of the South African system meant you were classified either white or non-white and since he was classified as non-white he could play no part in the national sporting life of his country.
Interviewer: What was it like going back to South Africa with D'Oliveira?
Paul Yule: He's a much-loved figure and it was a bit like going around with the Queen. I'm sure the film will still be widely seen in South Africa too and will have quite an impact there. If you think about South Africa's transition from apartheid to government by the ANC, it has been a bloodless revolution really. He played a pivotal role in that.
Interviewer: D'Oliveira is extremely modest about his political achievement in the film. Were you surprised by that?
Paul Yule: One of the ironies of this story is that D'Oliveira obviously had a very significant political effect and the reason he was able to do that was that he always presented himself as an apolitical figure. He was really following Alec Douglas-Home's advice: "Keep out of politics, and if you continue to score runs then you'll be more effective".
Interviewer: But wasn't Douglas-Home just saying that to cover the backs of the politicians and cricketing authorities?
Paul Yule: I think so, but D'Oliveira took it seriously. His public statements were always, "I am not saying anything, I am just trying to play cricket with the best in the world." That became a fantastically powerful message, though, because it was so patently absurd that he wasn't allowed to. His non-selection was a shameful betrayal of him.
Interviewer: D'Oliveira is adamant that Colin Cowdrey, England's captain at the time, told him that he would be picked for the South Africa tour. Do you think Cowdrey sold him down the river or was he just in an unavoidable bind?
Paul Yule: We don't know. According to Professor Bruce Murray, who is in the film, he spoke to Cowdrey about this shortly before he died. Cowdrey told him that you must remember that D'Oliveira was chosen as the first substitute. That was probably the compromise. So they chose Cartwright, someone who wasn't fit, announced the team, and then hoped to slip in D'Oliveira afterwards. I think that the players were muzzled. I don't think they necessarily thought it was a positive thing for D'Oliveira to go on tour because they always regarded the South African tour as the best tour to be on. There was fantastic sunshine, the women are gorgeous and it also didn't have the same kind of pressure as The Ashes. So they didn't want to be thrust into an air of heavy politics.
Interviewer: Finally, how do you assess D'Oliveira's status solely as a player?
Paul Yule: I think he was one of the great all-rounders. In the first test match against New Zealand at Lord's this year, the commentators were trying to work out who were the greatest partnership breakers and they all immediately said Basil D'Oliveira. He didn't start playing test cricket until he was 34 - that's the same age that Gary Sobers retired at. That he continued playing in his late 30s and early 40s is phenomenal. He was always battling, not just race, but age. It is one of the great human stories of sport. It's like a fairy tale.
The D'Oliveira family would like to thank Paul Yule for allowing us unlimited access to his work and for bringing Basil's experiences to the attention of the viewing world.
'NOT CRICKET' is the untold story of the English establishment's betrayal of Basil D'Oliveira and includes exclusive interviews with D'Oliveira himself.

UpMetrics and the National Bankers Community Alliance to Co-Design a First-of-its-Kind Impact Measurement Framework for Minority Depository Institutions
Partnership will focus on defining and measuring impacts related to closing the racial wealth gap and producing equitable outcomes.
SAN FRANCISCO (February 15, 20212) – UpMetrics, the analytics company the analytics company advancing the way impact organizations collect and integrate data into their stories, today announced that it has partnered with the National Bankers Community Alliance ("the Alliance") to co-design a first-of-its-kind equity-focused framework for minority depository institutions (MDIs) to assess their impact on closing the racial wealth gap.
JPMorgan Chase Foundation and Visa have signed on as inaugural funders.
Through this partnership, UpMetrics and the Alliance are co-creating the only platform and process that can enable MDIs to produce racial equity-centered studies and datasets that allow for more culturally-relevant assessments of the impact created by their lending, depository, and other financial products and services. MDIs play a significant role in fostering economic opportunity in the minority, low- and moderate-income (LMI), and rural communities they serve. The collection and analysis of impact data are critically important to attract investors and capital to MDIs, which historically have been undercapitalized.
"There is a pressing and widespread need for better impact measurement solutions that identify the root causes of economic disparity within minority communities," said Nicole Elam, president of the Alliance. "MDIs create positive economic and social impact in the communities that rely on them, but existing tools measure basic outputs—not meaningful equity outcomes— for minority-owned and -operated banks. We are so pleased to partner with UpMetrics to build this unique outcomes measurement framework for members of the National Bankers Association, introducing a new way to assess impact and share stories."
The new assessment tool will capture and track progress on the work of MDIs, inform product and service delivery, and create an industry framework that identifies the best practices, strategies, and opportunities to strengthen, support, and better equip LMI communities in building generational wealth. It will also have an application as an investor tool to evaluate the social return on their investments in the space.
The project will include an Impact Stakeholder Roundtable, which will engage MDIs, investors, research institutions, foundations, and thought leaders on the work of MDIs and the root causes of the vast disparities in wealth across racial and ethnic groups. This Roundtable will also inform the development of the tool.
"Having the evidence to not only tell the story, but to sharpen the activities of local financial institutions, is critical. With more data comes attention and focus from policymakers, and intentional co-investments with other sources of private capital," said Aron Betru, Senior Advisor, Milken Institute, COO/CSO, Trident, and NBCA Board Member.
Following a pilot with NBA member banks, UpMetrics will enable other MDIs and investors to subscribe to the platform.
"We are honored to be working with the Alliance to help define the key impact indicators that will ultimately help communities that rely on MDIs," said Drew Payne, CEO of UpMetrics. "UpMetrics has a long history of working collaboratively with social sector organizations to tailor our analytics platform to their needs. In this case, we are creating something entirely new to fill a need in the banking industry to help close the racial wealth gap."

The Heart of Stone is a very addicting read, with very heart filled characters that will make you question your empathy. It may also be the only book I've ever read that's main protagonist is a Golem.
Task is a Windcut Stone Golem, the last of his kind, and was solely made for killing, destruction, and war. Yet, Task has a soul, a heart, and feelings, no matter how hard he tries to suppress them. After being made and then sold from warmonger to warmonger for 400 years, unable to do anything but listen to his master's orders, Task has been taught to turn his feelings off and never get close to anyone. That is, until a little girl teaches him that feeling things do not make you weak and everyone is capable of love and doing the right thing, always.
Besides Lesky, my favorite character was Alabast Flint, the Knight of Dawn. He has a preceding reputation from slaying a dragon in his youth, which has given him a lot of fame, which he has chosen to squalor in gambling halls and brothels. Now he has a drinking problem and owes some very scary people money. That is, until his debt is paid and he is recruited, maybe against his will, to kill a Windcut Stone Golem. It should be no problem since he's killed a dragon, true?
The main villain in this book is also so expertly written. I was constantly reevaluating and making up crazy theories, just trying to figure out whose side this person was on. The constant twists and turns with this character were nothing short of amazing, and the emotional journey I went on reading about them was pretty insane. Honestly, this was one of the best villains I've ever read about, and I'd love to know their complete backstory.
But even with the amazing characters, The Heart of Stone's pacing is just so very slow. I was constantly getting fed breadcrumbs and promises for this huge civil war, but all I got was a few gory and violent snippets, but never any real war action. I also felt like the first 85% was very world building and character based, with drawn out promises of war, then that last 15% had everything coming at me really quickly, with a new promise of a brand new story line.
And I know there is a lot of world building to do in a standalone novel, but the magic system didn't feel completely cohesive, either. I wish I knew more about Glimpses and Grims, and the full spectrum of their power. I feel like we were only privy to certain aspects, since old magic is banned in this world, but it left me with a lot of questions. Again, I know only so much be done with 400 pages, but with the down time of the war developments I feel like we could have learned more about the magical abilities in this world.
Despite those two qualms, I really enjoyed this book and think it was a pretty strong stand alone. Plus, I love these characters and will cherish a few for days to come. I also love supporting independently published authors and I truly think this book is a gem of 2017's fantasies. The Heart of Stone is unique and captivating, and has some really important messages inside of it. | {

Page 27-28: The Marines started the Combined Action Program in August of 1965, when they were trying to protect their bases from enemy harassment and mortar attack. The country around the bases was densely populated, and in order to control it the Marines stationed squads of infantrymen in the villages themselves, to provide security and win the loyalty of the people. From that point the program grew rapidly. Today CAPs are in place in 75 villages in the I Corps.
A CAP has several functions. The first is to station an armed, aggressive military presence in a village, thereby keeping the V.C. honest. Over the last couple of years both Americans and the government of Vietnam have learned painfully that any pacification effort is doomed to failure unless the people are provided with physical security. Each CAP runs patrols and sets out nightly ambushes so that if the Vietcong want to enter the village to collect taxes, proselytize or terrorize, they do so at the risk of having to fight their way out again.
Page 28/58A: Along the way, the Marines train the Popular Force soldiers with whom they work. A P.F.--that's what the Marines call them--is a low member of the Vietnamese military establishment; he is a soldier who serves in his own village, and is given enough time off to work his rice paddy or pursue his civilian trade. On occasion Popular Forces have fought superbly, but as a rule the P.F. is poorly paid, poorly trained, poorly motivated and sometimes--often enough to keep the Marines wary--an active agent of the enemy. The Marines' hope is that ultimately these men will be well enough trained so that the Marines can move on to a new village and the Popular Forces will carry on by themselves.
The men who make up the CAPs are young, and even the team commander is a junior noncom. This is not by accident.
"We don't use a gunnery sergeant--he looks like a tough old pro," explained Lt. Colonel William R. Corson, who recently returned to the U.S. after directing the Combined Action Program. "We don't use officers because the people associate them with corruption. But our young corporals and sergeants look like they have succeeded in the same way that the best of the village boys, who can only aspire to becoming corporals and sergeants, might hope to succeed."
CAP Marines are chosen with care. In most cases they have had combat experience and have already spent time in the country. They are eager and 60% of them have extended their tours in Vietnam, either to get in or stay in the program. They are also chosen with an eye to their image as little ambassadors. "We've got no place for gook-haters here," Corson said.
The CAP marines have some problems that don't shoot back, but they are serious ones nonetheless. The program itself is woefully short of supplies and logistical support--a situation the men remedy with sharp trading and, when necessary, downright larceny. And even when supplies are available for civic action projects, sometimes they don't get to the people because of graft and corruption among the Vietnamese officials. The CAPs do what they can to cut down on the graft, and that may include talking tough.
"I know you are a crook," a CAP officer told one district chief, "but now is the time to opt for honesty and good government. If you do, I'm going to make you a hero. We are going to do things here, and you are going to get the credit. But don't cheat these people. If you do..."
The Marine made his meaning clear--either the district chief played ball or one night he was going to be bushwhacked.
Page 58A: Echo 2 is located in the village of Hoa Hiep, about a dozen miles north of Danang....The men of Echo 2 believe in their program--"I feel like I'm really doing something to help the people," they will say. But this is not the Peace Corps--survival is too big a problem--and a visitor is not likely to hear many spontaneous outbursts of idealism.
EchoTwo has been more successful than most CAPS, but success has not been cheap. Last November ('66) the unit was attacked and overrun by the Vietcong--who may well have had inside help from one of the Popular Force soldiers. Of the six Marines in the compound when the attack came, one was killed, and four wounded. Yet the Marines did not abandon the village. "The Marines had to show the people that they were going to fight, they were going to die--above all that they were going to stay." said Colonel Corson. The Marines of Echo Two who remained and those who came in as replacements had to make some adjustments. They learned not to pat Vietnamese children on the head, not to indulge in hanky-panky with the village girls. When Vietnamese invited them to share a meal they had to show gastronomical delight over such delicacies as fish heads, squid and pigs' blood.
Eventually the work began to pay off. The initial hostility of the villagers gradually changed to at least apparent friendship. A few of the Popular Forces caught the spirit, and the whole platoon was amazed and delighted when one P.F., during a firefight, jumped up on a paddy dike, shouted, "Come on, V.C., I'll cut your heads off!" and took off after the enemy with his rifle blazing. The people began informing on the Vietcong. Hundreds of people each week began to show up at the dispensary run by Corpsman Robert Miller, affectionately called 'Bac si,' the Vietnamese word for doctor.
Yet for all their work nothing in the village of Hoa Hiep has necessarily become safe, or easy, or predictable. Echo Two still fights its own war there. There are few pitched battles in this conflict but it is war nevertheless--a war of confinement, boredom, frustration, apprehension. It is also a war against the cunningly concealed booby trap, the single grenade thrown out of the anonymous dark, a war of the big wait--the wait for Charlie and the sudden, fast and overwhelming attack that can wipe a unit out. | {

Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS) Investor Alert: Investigation of $58.50 Buyout Bid
An investigation for investors who hold shares of Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS) in connection with the proposed takeover was announced and NYSE:SHS stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2013 -- Following the announcement by Sauer-Danfoss Inc. that it has received notice from Danfoss A/S of its intention to launch a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sauer-Danfoss prompted an investigation on behalf of investors in Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS) shares concerning whether the offer and the takeover process are unfair to NYSE:SHS investors.
Investors who purchased shares of Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS) prior to November 28, 2012, and currently hold any of those NYSE:SHS shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail(at)shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Sauer-Danfoss Inc. breach their fiduciary duties owed NYSE:SHS investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On Nov. 28, 2012 Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE: SHS) confirmed that it has received notice from Danfoss A/S of its intention to launch a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sauer-Danfoss that it does not already own at a price of $49.00 per share in cash.
Then on March 1, 2013, Danfoss A/S and Sauer-Danfoss Inc. announced a merger agreement for Danfoss A/S to acquire the 24.4% of Sauer-Danfoss common shares not already owned by Danfoss and its affiliates for $58.50 per share in cash.
However, following the takeover announced NYSE:SHS shares jumped on March 1, 2013 to a close of $58.73 per share, thus above the current $58.50offer.
Furthermore, NYSE:SHS shares traded in the past also above the current offer. In fact, NYSE:SHS shares traded as high as$59.01 per share in April 2011.
Therefore, the investigation a law firm concerns whether the proposed transaction is unfair to NYSE:SHS stockholders.
Specifically, given that Danfoss A/S and its subsidiaries currently own already approximately 75.6% of the outstanding shares of Sauer-Danfoss, the investigation focuses on whether the Sauer-Danfoss Board of Directors will undertake an adequate sales process, adequately shop the company before entering into the transaction, maximize shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and act in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.
Those who are current investors in Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (NYSE:SHS), have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.

Justice League Movie: Where Is Superman?
by Alex Leadbeater
– on Mar 26, 2017
in SR Originals
In some circles, fans have been waiting for a Justice League trailer so long it's become its own meme. Now, after a string of character teases establishing the core heroes one has finally arrived, and it really delivers.
The total mileage you get from the "Official Trailer" depends somewhat on your affections for previous DCEU outings Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, seeing as this is still very clearly a Zack Snyder joint, full of comic-book-panel-ripped shots and heavily-saturated, computer-generated decimation. Despite that, there's plenty of immediately wide-appeal stuff in there, like jokes about Batman's superpower being money and an overall strong grasp of the individual heroes' personalities - along with Bats, the movie stars Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg. There's also proper looks at supporting characters like Queen of Atlantis Mera and GCPD Commissioner Gordon (it's safe to say J.K. Simmons is perfect casting).
But someone's missing. Someone massive. Someone so big they typically take prime position in any Justice League assembly shots. Yes - there's not a single moment of Superman.
If you've just watched the movies in a complete isolated bubble (in which case, you might be interested to learn they're a little divisive), then that may feel pretty expected; after doing reluctant battle with Bruce Wayne, Henry Cavill's Kal-El died at the end of Batman v Superman saving the world from the rampaging Doomsday. His funeral capped Dawn of Justice, finally motivating Bruce to form the Justice League and pretty much enabling the bonkers events of Suicide Squad.
But, of course, he's not actually dead. In a moment reminiscent of Magneto's power return in X-Men: The Last Stand, the final shot of Batman v Superman showed dirt rising from Clark Kent's coffin (the heroic alter ego got a weighted burial in Washington DC), hinting at a return. This was confirmed by Cavill being prominent in the cast list for Justice League and appearing as part of the Comic-Con reveal image (in his typical leading position). All good. Well, not quite - since then, Warner Bros and all involved in the production have been rather coy; Cavill wasn't in the SDCC footage itself, was only alluded to as part of the highly-publicized set visit, and now he isn't a part of the massive trailer reveal.
So, where is Superman and why haven't we seen much of him? Well, it's more than just a single trailer absence or teased reveal. In fact, it's the culmination of a plan twenty-five years in the making.
Warner' Obsession With The Death (And Return) of Superman
The whole notion of killing Superman and it being a key storytelling element within the character's history comes from the 1992 epic The Death of Superman. Made at the height of the speculator bubble, the event-to-end-all-events paid off over fifty years of comic history by offing the very first superhero. Like any comic character not named Uncle Ben, however, it didn't take long for Clark Kent to return; following a highly confusing arc dubbed Reign of the Supermen where four potential replacements fought for the mantle, the real Kal-El was resurrected (using Kryptonian tech in the Fortress of Solitude), neatly returning DC Comics to their long-standing status quo.
Creatively divisive as it may have been, the event was a commercial success and as such Warner Bros. were very keen to translate it to film. Whereas in print the stunt was that Kent could reasonably stay dead, though, here the entire concept hinged on Superman's resurrection, giving an incredibly altruistic hero (and thus one harder to write than the brooding Batman) an easy arc and playing into an overt Christ metaphor. As a result, pretty much every big screen attempt at the character since – from failed projects like Tim Burton's Superman Lives (which tackled the arc explicitly) to realized films like Bryan Singers' Superman Returns (which flirted with the idea and was regardless caked in religious imagery) – has attempted to adapt the story. And, finally, with the DCEU it finally was realized; Man of Steel introduced the world to Superman, Batman v Superman killed him and thus the intention with Justice League was always to bring him back.
So, with that explicit premise established, where is this character who even director Zack Snyder has called essential in the marketing? James Gunn and Marvel have been pretty open about Kurt Russell's Ego being Star-Lord's father in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and that could have had genuine twist potential. Well, although the dirt rising from the coffin suggested a quick fix, the fact that Superman is not involved in the League's initial formation or a part of the post-apokalyptic battle seen in the trailer that presumably comes in the latter half of the film suggests he won't make his triumphant return until a shocking third act reveal. With that consideration, him being held back from the marketing makes sense; the two-fold danger is that you either increase fan expectation for the size of his role or end up showing far too much of a slight appearance (a great example of this is Transformers: Age of Extinction's Dinobots).
However, that may not be the case. Aside from a trace of Superman, the big thing missing from the trailer is a proper team shot, which is rather strange – surely you want to have that instantly screen-cappable moment that can be reproduced all over the internet and become iconic in a matter of hours? There's plenty of quote-unquote awesome in the trailer, but the closest we get to a group moment is a fade-in-and-out quick fire of the heroes (and even that lacks Batman). Now it may just be a creative choice – we do already have a team up shot that's been widely available for months and a new poster again uniting the team – but it may be because the trailer's had to edit around the presence of sixth team member; could Superman be resurrected early than the trailer's suggested and is just out of frame in these moments, leading to very focused shot choice?
Indeed, whether that rampant speculation is true or not, the history of Superman's return and Snyder's comments specifically would suggest that the Last Son of Krypton has a big part to play in both plot and character terms - an attempt to reverse his death may be a narrative driving force, and it's pretty much a dead cert he'll be essential in the League's eventual victory. Which means, whichever possibility is true, his lack of appearance is part of a larger marketing play.
The Kryptonian Awakens
Superman coming back isn't just a point of intrigue in the Justice League story – it is the whole point. And, indeed, the way Warner Bros. is handling his absence from the marketing indicates it's meant to be felt. They're not downplaying rumors of a return or being overly conspicuous; they've let it be known he's back for the better part of a year and the official Justice League website even features six hero slots, with one clearly left for Supes (confirmed by the site's source code).
Rather than being left out in the hope of a shock return, the studio want us asking the "Where's Superman?" It appears like, beyond the thrill of having the iconic characters together on screen for the first – something that audiences are accustomed to after The Avengers and has already occurred in the DCEU somewhat with the Trinity in Batman v Superman – the studio is trying to use the mystery of Superman as a key driving force, at least in the fan community where an empty space on a website will be important.
In fact, it feels like they're trying to ape the #WheresLuke hysteria that surrounded Star Wars: The Force Awakens' mammoth release; despite being confirmed as part of the cast in April 2014, not a single shred of Mark Hamill (bar a brief shot from a vision sequence) was part of the marketing, leading to rampant speculation about where he was and whether Luke could have turned to the Dark side. Of course, it transpired that the real reason there was no Skywalker was because there wasn't much to show; Luke doesn't appear until the film's final seconds, and even then he just stands in silence. It was an advertising masterstroke, one that was clearly puppet-mastered by Disney, highlighting how less can be more.
A potential problem with WB attempting this for Superman is that the intrigue is wholly artificial. We know he's coming back, we know he's going to have a sizeable presence, we know he'll stand alongside the team. There's not going to be any fan theories he's really working for Darkseid a la Luke being Kylo Ren. There's not even much of a question about how he'll return – the assumption the sun with resurrect him feels easily correct, if not we'll get some approximation of the comics' Fortress meddling – and odds are when he does he'll be the same hero, just with a little less self-doubt. The only hook is seeing some of Cavill and finding out if he's wearing the black suit of the comics.
Any criticism, of course, presumes a lot about Warner Bros.' future marketing and how the film works. For now, what we can say resolutely is that it's clear Superman's absence is incredibly pointed and set up to play a major part in the film's journey to the screen.
The lack of Superman from Justice League's marketing could very easily be read as simply teasing him out – and to a degree it is – but given the history there's more to it than that. Just as Warner Bros. has been trying to kill him on screen for over two decades, so too have they been desperate for a resurrection. Justice League is the explicit realization of that, but to make it as significant a cultural event as the original comic run – something the mixed reaction to Batman v Superman definitely wasn't – they need to have it amped up. A mystery over when we'll see Supes explicitly steers into this desire, prepping fans for the return and making them feel his absence like Bruce Wayne and co. will.
It is still possible that the next set of materials will unveil Superman – given that there is space on the website for him it actually seems overwhelmingly likely, and WB did a very similar trick with Doomsday in Dawn of Justice – but the delay already will have played up the intrigue and established a resurrection as a major event, rather than a matter-of-fact inevitability. Just as the trailer wait was a meme for die-hard fans, so too will be the wait for Clark.

Russia remained the top crude oil supplier to China in January, data showed, beginning 2018 on a strong note after the inauguration of an expanded trans-Siberia pipeline and as Beijing released more crude import quotas to independent refiners.
Angola and Iraq took the second and third positions for the month, leapfrogging Saudi Arabia, which was the second-largest supplier to China in 2017, Reuters reported.
Russian supplies came in at 5.67 million tons, or 1.34 million barrels per day, up 23.4% from a year earlier, data from the Chinese General Administration of Customs showed on Saturday. The January number compared with 1.194 million bpd in December. Last month, data showed Russia notched up its second year as China's largest supplier in 2017, surpassing Saudi Arabia—OPEC's top exporter—by some 150,000 barrels each day.
The strong Russian exports to the world's largest crude oil buyer came as a second East Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline, as well as expanded domestic connections in China, started commercial operation in January. In a reshuffle of the pack, Angola ranked second with 4.68 million tons, or 1.1 million bpd, of crude in January, down 5.4% from a year earlier. China imported 4.45 million tons, or 1.05 million bpd, of crude from Iraq, up 28% from a year ago.
Saudi Arabia supplied 4.29 million tons, or 1.01 million bpd, to China in January. That was down 15% from the same year-ago rate and compared with 1.11 million bpd in December.
Even so, exports from the kingdom are expected to rise to record levels this year as Saudi Aramco ramps up supplies to Chinese state oil firm CNOOC, as well as the Huajin refinery owned by defense giant NORINCO. China's total crude oil imports last month soared 20% from the same month a year earlier to a record rate of 9.57 million barrels per day, beating the previous peak of 9.17 million bpd.
Customs data also showed China's oil imports from the United States soared to 2.01 million tons last month, or roughly 472,508 bpd. That compares with just 257,861 tons a year ago.
In 2017, US shipments, which benefited from OPEC-led supply cuts, averaged about 153,000 bpd. | {

Not too long ago, a kid's day was pretty predictable. On weekdays: Wake up, eat breakfast, walk or take a bus to school, sit at a classroom desk, go home. On weekends (yay!), add morning cartoons, household chores and family time — playing at the park, fighting with siblings, going to church or temple or mosque. Simple enough, right?
But the schedules for today's children are anything but simple. Sure, there's still the morning routine: Breakfast, brushing teeth, dressing, washing, potty time. And there's still school, of course. But after school, there's daycare or after-school programs. There are music lessons and baseball practice, play dates and tutoring…plus commuting to and from these events.
Fortunately, seating, mobility and accessibility manufacturers have ramped up their offerings to keep pace with the needs of active kids and their families. Today's array of pediatric products can help ensure that children are properly and safely positioned — and functional — throughout their many activities and environments.
And since convenience is such a priority for families, manufacturers are paying close attention to such factors as portability, easy assembly/disassembly, growability, adjustability and a product's ability to perform multiple functions.
The products pictured here are examples of seating & mobility solutions, with product details and selections edited for space. Please consult the Source List to contact the manufacturers directly for additional specifications, sizes, functions and product selections.
Wake up, sleepyhead! Mornings are busy times for kids — not to mention their in-a-hurry parents. Eat breakfast; brush your teeth. Wash up, use the potty…no, you're not wearing that shirt again!
Parents are looking to streamline morning ADLs, which means products in this category need to be efficient and easy to use.
And once shirts are buttoned and backpacks are readied, a larger selection of crash-tested WC19 (wheelchairs) and WC20 (seating) choices give parents more options for cars and schoolbuses.
Yikes, did the schoolbus just pull up? Grab your homework, and come on — let's go!
When it's time to get to school — or daycare or playdates — Columbia Medical's 2000/2500 IPS Car Seat can accommodate users weighing from 20 to 130 lbs. and up to 5'6" tall (with two IPS sizes available). The Car Seat features built-in lateral positioning and independently height-adjustable head pads or soft-padded headwings. And for frequent flyers: Model 2000 is certified for aircraft use.
Commuting to school, ballet lessons, soccer practice, et al, is a big part of the day, and Harmar's Freedom Seat is designed to make those travels safe and secure. Using the original automotive seat, the Freedom Seat enables any child seat or booster seat to remain LATCH compliant. Posturing harnesses are available for extra support. The Freedom Seat can be applied to a second-row position in minivans and some SUVs.
Jenx Junior from Patterson Medical offers conventional, recline and tilt-in-space settings with numerous adjustments to accommodate children of various sizes and proportions in a range of activities. Molded polyurethane foam provides easy cleanup (with no fluid absorption), and two base options allow families to choose the seat height that works best for them. In three sizes to accommodate kids from 18 months to 12 years.
The performance and fit of customized seating plus the assurance of WC20 crash-testing approval? Yes! Stealth Products' WC20 transit hardware has been enhanced to improve securement and functionality. The addition of transit pins ensures securement points in the event the hardware loosens during transit and detaches from the wheelchair. Pins are tethered to the mounting hardware to keep them attached to the chair at all times.
The Kids UP line from Quantum Rehab includes a full range of attendant-propelled pediatric seating & mobility solutions. The Kids FAST and Kids ROCK products accommodate the Kids UP Dynamic Seating System so kids can move into flexion or extension while maintaining proper pelvic positioning.
Gone are the days when school meant sitting stiffly in straight-backed chairs with hands folded on desktops. Today's classrooms are more interactive, and today's young scholars are more active. Littlest students sit on the ground during rug time, and stand at tables for water and sand play. Bigger kids sit at desks, but still change position for music, art or small group times. Tweens and teens need to navigate quickly and efficiently between classes on larger campuses.
Products in this category may be handled and operated by multiple adults — schoolbus drivers, teachers and aides, occupational and physical therapists, classroom volunteers — as well as be "tried out" by curious classmates. So, durability is a key factor — as is ease of use by a variety of caregivers. Classroom aides — and parents, too — appreciate equipment that is easy to get children in and out of, so transitions are quick and so kids can move seamlessly from one activity to the next. And of course, since this equipment is in the public eye, good looks are a must!
Freedom Designs' NXT LEAF (Lower-Extremity Accommodation Frame) adjusts 22° from midline for setup to accommodate abduction, adduction or windswept positions. For children with special lower-extremity positioning requirements, the LEAF minimizes the size of the wheelchair and preserves the "correct and functional" frame size. Fits NXT wheelchairs with folding or rigid frames.
Created to complement Freedom Designs' LEAF and MAPS frame and footrest options, new seating options can be manufactured specifically to fit unique positioning requirements. Pictured is a seating system for a windswept position; it fits the NXT wheelchair's LEAF option.
This high-performance ergonomic handrim from Out-Front is tailored to fit smaller hands, but has the same goals as the adult-sized Natural-Fit: to enhance propulsion performance and efficiency, eliminate pushing on the tire, ease pain in hands and wrists and provide greater control when braking.
Surge LT is Out-Front's lightweight, all-in-one oval handrim with a Gription strip to improve traction on every push. The Surge LT, with its smaller oval, is designed to fit the hands of junior-sized users. But it does not add width to the chair and can be mounted in close-in or wide-mount tab locations.
Created for children without head control or the ability to roll over and crawl, Wenzelite Re/hab's CrawlAbout supports them and encourages crawling. It features a four-wheeled, height-adjustable aluminum frame with an adjustable foam-padded suspended harness. A caregiver or therapist can steer from the rear.
Easy to grow, tilt and adjust, Invacare Corp.'s Spree 3G brings virtually all of the Solara 3G wheelchair's enhancements to a pediatric-sized package. The Spree 3G features a compact design with plenty of configuration possibilities and accessories.
Supracor's kid-sized cushion features a soft top layer fused to a firmer bottom layer of flexible Stimulite honeycomb. Adductors, abductors and an ischial dish provide positioning while the honeycomb cells hold the child in place.
Clarke Health Care Products' made-in-theshade solution is also a hands-free one. The Paraplis Umbrella Holder attaches to a stroller or wheelchair and holds an opened umbrella. The Paraplis can swing the umbrella up or down via simple push-button adjustments and can lock into position at any angle. Holds umbrella handles from 3/4" to 1 3/8" in diameter.
The Optima TSS from Columbia Medical functions as a multi-use system: a stand-alone commode, an over-the-toilet system, a roll-in shower chair, or a stationary system. And with multiple adjustments — frame height; seat depth; back height, angle and depth; armrest width; and footrest height — it can grow as a child grows.
Sunrise Medical's Kid Kart Xpress combines contemporary styling with plenty of function, including 65° of tilt, optional 45° of recline, growth capabilities and a transit option. A height-adjustable booster base facilitates feeding at mealtimes.
Active kids need a wheelchair with just the right fit. TiLite's new Twist answers the call with a 1" aluminum frame design to make it easy to install a wide range of seating components. The Twist's Tru-Fit system reduces the number of holes in the frame to improve durability and allow for easy adjustment and setup. Flip-back footrests make transfers easier and safer, and compact wheel locks and DASH high-performance wheels are sized just right for littler hands.
Permobil's popular M300 power chair can now accommodate the PS Jr. seating system, enabling kids to enjoy the benefits of midwheel drive. The M300 PS Jr. combines the same climbing and traction innovation as the adult-sized M300, while the seating grows with the child. Features new flip-back armrests, which attach to the backrest canes to free up space on the seat rail (room for more accessories: yay!). The M300 PS Jr. also allows for 3" of inward and 3" of outward off set to provide a much broader range of between-the-armrest measurements, while still allowing armrests to flip back.
Wenzelite Re/hab's First Class Chair is designed to assure good feet-to-the-floor posture, with multiple adjustments and positioning options to keep pace with kids as they grow. Easy adjustments make the First Class Chair convenient for home, classroom or clinic. The seat is depth and height adjustable and tilts up to 15°.
The Spark from Ki Mobility is designed to work with virtually any clinically prescribed seating system to accommodate a range of pediatric needs. The contoured back comes with 32° of built-in angle adjustability and the ability to change the depth by 4" in 1" increments. An easy-to-release latch enables the Spark to fold into a small package and then open again with a snap — sure to be appreciated by busy moms and dads. WC19 approved.
Freedom Designs' NXT wheelchair strives to make things easy for its young users as well as parents and grandparents — and now, an attendant can operate the NXT's tilt function, control the chair's speed and direction, and lock the rear wheels while in strolling position. When hand or foot locks are specified (no charge!), Freedom Designs includes standard push-to-lock wheel locks, handy when the NXT is on buses or other public transportation.
With a swiveling front wheel for outdoor mobility and indoor maneuverability, the Dyno from Xplore Mobility is at home in a variety of environments. Quick-release wheels and a compact folding design make the Dyno easy to travel with… as does the fact that it's WC19 compliant.
This versatile mat from Supracor is made of cells that flex to create a massaging effect, stimulate bloodflow and bring more oxygen to tissues to promote relaxation — just the thing after a busy day. The completely ventilated pillow, with two different sides, can be used as a back or head support.
Ottobock's new pediatric power chair, the Skippi, was designed for flexibility. Children with mild seating & positioning needs, who can operate Skippi with a simple joystick, will benefit. But Skippi can also be set up to be operated via alternative control devices. Skippi offers a range of adjustability and adaptability to accommodate planar, modular and custom seating systems.
Where did the day go? Too soon, it's time to put the toys away and start on those evening ADLs — taking a bath, brushing teeth, donning pajamas and getting ready for bed. Products in this realm need to promote and support proper positioning even during ordinary activities such as listening to (just one more!) story. Night-night!
Designed to be comfortable and stable, Wenzelite Re/hab's adjustable Dolphin bathing chair fits all standard tubs and is made of an aluminum frame with quick-drying mesh fabric. The basic chair includes adjustable head stabilizer, lap belt and trunk support. The Dolphin folds flat for easy storage.
Patterson Medical's Jenx Dreama offers support in prone, supine and side-lying positions thanks to a simple-to-use design (no noisy hook-and-loop straps!). The flexible Dreama base allows it to be contoured to support partial sitting or raising of the child's feet. Cushions are covered with welded PU material to prevent fluids from being absorbed by the foam, while two-way-stretch fabric enhances the foam's pressurerelieving qualities. Fits cribs or twin beds.
When it's bathtime, Columbia Medical's Wrap-Around Bath Supports can provide support in the tub. The supports are available in Hi-Back or Lo-Back options and are height adjustable. The wide-stance, stable base fits into any tub, but can also be used as a floor sitter…perhaps for playtime after pajamas are put on?
SureHands' Lift & Care System features a Body Support or Handi-Sling to easily and safely lift kids and move them via a ceiling-mounted track system. The lift system reduces the carrying and lifting that mom and dad have to do, for instance, to get kids into the bathtub, then back out again.
Aquatec bathlifts, from Clarke Health Care Products, provide complete seating & positioning systems for bathtubs. Wide models and full-platform models can be used in larger tubs and for children with higher body weights. Adjustable side laterals, reclining backs, belts and pillows enable caregivers to customize the lifts for the best positioning.
This Sunrise Medical ultralight pediatric rigid chair with flip-up footrests and an abducted frame with inset backrest is designed to fit some of your littlest self-propelling clients. The ZONE is also built to enable outstanding wheel access to facilitate independent mobility. An optional glow-in-the-dark frame color makes it easier for kids to reach out and transfer into the ZONE for nighttime trips to the bathroom. | {

Q: How can I plot hours on the y-axis? I'm trying to analyze some Twitter data. You can finde the my R code here:
I don't understand how I can extract and plot the the value "hours" from my dataset on my y-axis. Thanks
library(ggplot2)
# data <- read.csv("data.csv", header=T, stringsAsFactors=FALSE, sep = ",")
data <- read.csv(header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
text = '"time","impressions","engagements"
"1",2015-10-24 15:39:00,400,"8.0"
"2",2015-10-24 15:28:00,575,"17.0"
"3",2015-10-23 16:52:00,1646,"29.0"
"4",2015-10-23 16:45:00,1489,"46.0"')
# remove duplicate rows
# data <- data[-c(177, 323, 615, 497, 809), ]
data$impressions <-as.numeric(as.character(data[,2]))
data$engagement <-as.numeric(as.character(data[,3]))
# Convert times to POSIXct
data$time <- as.POSIXct(data$time)
ggplot(data, aes(x=time, y=impressions)) +
theme_bw() +
geom_point(shape = 21, color = "red", size = data$engagement*0.1, position = position_jitter(width = 0.5)) + scale_y_continuous(minor_breaks=0,breaks=seq(0,2000,200),limits=c(0,2000))
data looks like that
"time","impressions","engagements"
"1",2015-10-24 15:39:00,400,"8.0"
"2",2015-10-24 15:28:00,575,"17.0"
"3",2015-10-23 16:52:00,1646,"29.0"
"4",2015-10-23 16:45:00,1489,"46.0"
A: A way to extract hours (since your Time column is properly formatted), is to use the hour() function from the lubridate package in R.
library(lubridate)
library(ggplot2)
data <- read.csv("data.csv", header=T, stringsAsFactors=FALSE, sep = ",")
# remove duplicate rows
data <- data[-c(177, 323, 615, 497, 809), ]
data$impressions <-as.numeric(as.character(data[,2]))
data$engagement <-as.numeric(as.character(data[,3]))
# extract hour from time column
data$Hour <- lubridate::hour(data$time)

Better late than never, I suppose, I've put together a list of my favorite books of 2013. I've noticed a lot of people have mentioned that 2013 was a particularly dry year for them, and a lot of prolific bloggers have confessed to reading fewer titles in 2013 than in years past. For me, 2013 was a particularly good year for reading. I only read 38 books, which shocks me, but this year I started a new job that hasn't really left me with much of a life outside work–and what life I've had has been mostly filled with stressing out about…work. That's something I am determined to change in 2014, so no point in spending a lot of time whining about it, but it may take me some time to get my reading mojo back.
Another weird thing happened at the end of the year: after I finished The Goldfinch and The Little Friend, both by Donna Tartt, I found it impossible to stick with any other novel I picked up. I started no less than ten different books only to find myself becoming restless and disinterested. I cannot fault any of the books I picked up, and I plan to finish all of them at some point, but I just couldn't seem to keep things going (see above: stress). In November I got through two non-fiction books, though: Alan Sepinwall's The Revolution Was Televised (which I recommend if you enjoy quality television–I haven't seen all of the shows he discusses in the book, so I skipped those chapters, but I've seen most of them, and I follow Sepinwall's reviews online pretty religiously for shows I watch) and Ann Patchett's The Secret of a Happy Marriage. I enjoy the way Patchett writes and have always enjoyed her non-fiction, but…well, the truth is, this book of essays is probably best read in small doses if you want to keep liking Ann Patchett (and I do). Reading all of these essays together in almost one sitting, I thought she came off as both a bit smug and full of first-world problems. While I appreciate her for opening an independent bookstore, for example, she seems (ingenuously) unaware that the book store is probably a success both because her name is attached to it and because she has rather deep pockets to help keep it going (at one point in the book, she talks about writing a $130,000 check–I'm sure many independent bookstore owners across the country wish they had ready access to such capital).
Anyway, without further ado, below are my favorite reads of 2013. I've added links for books I wrote about, and added a few notes for books I never got around to reviewing.
The Flamethrowers, Rachel Kushner. This made many big-name "Best of 2013" lists this year, and I stand with those who think all praise is well-deserved. This book worked for me because I liked the narrator so much–she's the quintessential quiet outsider who both longs to be a part of the art world and also sees the shallowness of both her longing and the art world itself.
Serena, Ron Rash. This dark, dark novel is set in western North Carolina at the start of the Depression. George Pemberton has brought his new bride Serena home to his timber camp. Serena is ruthless and ambitious, and George is completely under her spell. A dark twist on the idea that behind every great man, there's a great woman, this novel has a Shakespearean quality that makes it both eloquent and gripping.
Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China, Paul French. Last year, The People Who Eat Darkness, the story of a young British woman who went missing in Japan, made my list of favorite reads. Midnight in Peking tells the true story of a young British woman found murdered in 1937. The mystery has never been solved, and the story is as chilling as any modern tale I can imagine.
Open Secrets, Alice Munro. Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature this year, and this book had been lingering on my shelves far too long. It's Munro. Enough said.
The Little Friend, Donna Tartt. I did it! I finally read The Little Friend, after five or six attempts. I picked it up because I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of The Goldfinch and had handed over my copy of The Secret History to my husband to read. I thought I might as well give this one another shot, and I'm so happy that I did, because somehow it finally clicked for me. As a matter of fact, I was almost reluctant to set it aside when The Goldfinch arrived. Set in Alexandria, Mississippi in the 1970s, The Little Friend is the story of Harriet Cleve Dufresnes, a 12-year-old girl who decides that the death of her older brother Robin was no accident and sets out with her friend Hely to find his killer. What Tartt does so effectively in this book is paint a vivid and complex picture of life in the deep South. If you're interested in novels about the South, and want a more accurate and less cliched (and funnier, deeper) portrayal of the racial and class inequalities that persist in small Southern towns than you might find in a book such as The Help, then pick up The Little Friend.
The Goldfinch, Donna Tartt. I am not going to say much about this one, because so much has already been said. I found it completely engrossing and enjoyable. Tartt is a world-builder, which I think is why she has lately been compared so often to Dickens. I've seen some reviewers who seem to want to pick apart the book–why, for example, would terrorists bomb an art gallery? I don't know. Why, in reality, do they bomb discotheques? The book isn't about terrorism. It's about loneliness, isolation, friendship, and perhaps on some level the power of art to sustain us in the strangest ways.
Somehow I am not surprised to hear that Ann Patchett comes off smug in her non-fiction. She has always seemed that way to me (remember, I lived in Nashville for 7 years, the home of her bookstore) and I always found her offputting. I think she's one of those authors, like Elizabeth Gilbert, who is actually really talented, but needs to stick to fiction because her real life personality is kind of insufferable.
Hi Steph! I'll be interested to see what you read off the list and what you think. I really felt like I hit the jackpot this year overall, even with books that didn't make my list. I only suffered through a few disappointments, but that might also be because I was more willing this year to put down books that just weren't clicking for me on some level (looking at you, Dissident Gardens).
That's funny about Ann Patchett. I actually liked Truth & Beauty, but maybe because she was so focused on Lucy Grealy in that book I didn't notice it so much. I also think The Getaway Car is a nice, solid little book on writing. But these essays, taken all together…I just thought she seemed kind of like a jerk. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets that vibe.
Jackie, I picked up both A Fine Balance and Lamb because I saw you recommended them, so pat yourself on the back! I am so glad that you enjoyed Night Film. I thought it was great fun, and I felt great relief for the author and for myself as a reader because I was such a fan of Pessl's first book. I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of things soon…I can't complain too much because I had such a great reading year last year overall. And this year there will be a Sarah Waters and Lorrie Moore to look forward to!
I think this will be the year I read A Fine Balance. I feel like I've been seeing it everywhere, which is interesting for a book that was released over fifteen years ago. Also, I'm pleased to see American Salvage on your list. It's on my to-read list, but I had forgotten why I added it and was suspecting myself of choosing it because of its striking cover.
Christy, A Fine Balance is destined to become a classic, I think, so I would expect people to keep talking about it. And American Salvage – the stories are as striking as the cover. I read many of them more than once. Let me know if/when you get around to reading these!
I've tried so many times to read The Little Friend and been completely unable to get through it. One of these days I swear I will have a breakthrough with that book. I love The Secret History and I loved The Goldfinch — glad you liked The Goldfinch too!!
Jenny, I swear it took me five or six tries to get into The Little Friend. It has a completely different pace than either The Secret History or The Goldfinch, which I think share some similarities. I can't say why it finally clicked for me, other than that I was determined to read the whole damn thing for once, and one day I looked down and realized I was halfway through and completely engrossed. | {

Q: Get rendered html as text, including newlines I have a page with some html rendered into it.
I want to get the rendered page as text, but somehow also include the newlines. In addition, if relevant, I'm looking for an extended solution that will also support lists (using spaces and •), tables (using spaces, but with no borders) and similar cases.
I'm looking for Javascript solution, either on client or server side.
Please mind: not every element in the page equals to new line (e.g: some divs can be inline and some can create new lines).
For exapmle, this snippet below will be the html, and the output will be the text itself as you can see below (after running).
#inline{
display:flex;
flex-direction:row;
}
#inline div{
margin-right:5px;
}
#notInline{
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
<div>
<div id='inline'><div>some</div><div>divs</div><div>inline</div></div>
<div id='notInline'><div>some</div><div>divs</div><div>on top of each other</div>
A: You can try this. First inline text second "on top of each other" text:
var inlineOutput = '';
document.querySelector('#inline').childNodes.forEach(e=>{inlineOutput += e.textContent + ' '}) + "\n";
console.log(inlineOutput);
var noInLineOutput = '';
document.querySelector('#notInline').childNodes.forEach(e=>{noInLineOutput += e.textContent + " \n"});
console.log(noInLineOutput);
A: There's a js scraper called Cheerio that could extract all the text out for you, I've never used it though. It gives you access to the DOM and you can gather parts of whichever page you need. here's a tutorial that uses it with node.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, if they're your own pages you can probably make a function that calls everything in the dom and delimits at the open close carats and grabs in the text inbetween, and maybe make a switch if it sees the notInLine class

Abstract: GAT-1, encoded by SLC6A1, is one of the major gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporters in the brain and is responsible for re-uptake of GABA from the synapse. In this study, targeted resequencing of 644 individuals with epileptic encephalopathies led to the identification of six SLC6A1 mutations in seven individuals, all of whom have epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (MAE). We describe two truncations and four missense alterations, all of which most likely lead to loss of function of GAT-1 and thus reduced GABA re-uptake from the synapse. These individuals share many of the electrophysiological properties of Gat1-deficient mice, including spontaneous spike-wave discharges. Overall, pathogenic mutations occurred in 6/160 individuals with MAE, accounting for ∼4% of unsolved MAE cases.

Julian Borrego releases new singles "Small Talk" & "Escape"!
Psych/Indie-Pop artist Julian Borrego has released two brand new singles Small Talk and Xeriscape! Both tracks are spiritual thematically, inspired by Borrego's interest in traditional Indian philosophy and 'maya', meaning the fluctuating nature of joy and suffering, which may bring Tame Impala and Toro Y Moi to mind for listeners. Borrego explains, "I think the feelings that create my music are often an expression of 'maya'; some higher, more unchanging spiritual reality, grappling with experiencing the drastic duality of being a human". Small Talk showcases Borrego's distinctive sound, with an ambient dissonance that progresses into a synthy, psychedelic funk anthem, creating a colorful and vibrant hit. Xeriscape fuses psychedelic grooves, with hazy guitars and a steady funk bass line.
Borrego is a Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter who comes from an extensive musical family with a famous guitar playing grandfather (Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles). Combining dynamic funk melodies, psychedelic grooves and strong guitar riffs, Borrego has created a fresh, innovative, genre-blending sound. After performing in numerous bands under Universal and Warner Music subsidiaries, Borrego toured with Stone Temple Pilots, regularly playing to sold-out crowds. Enjoying the success, but without the creative control, Borrego decided to focus on a solo project, which became his debut EP Ouroboros. Inspired by the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stevie Wonder, and the propulsive soundscapes of Toro Y Moi and Tame Impala, Ouroboros is a winning amalgamation of different genres and musical textures. "This EP was like a crock pot of sounds and instruments, blending together and creating new tastes for myself" reveals Borrego.
Listen to Small Talk and Escape, and download both tracks and his debut EP Ouroboros on iTunes today!

The short answer: psychometrics invariably yield bell curves.
The medium answer: general ideas about personality are derived from psychometrics.
If you are on either side of the bell curve for anything that is significant to you, you will be measuring yourself against a standard that is not right for you.
And even if you are in the middle for everything, no one else is.
It's fine to have a look at what some researchers find on some test, but it would be close-minded, not conscientious. probably neurotic, and highly disagreeable (to you and others) to do more than use those data as a mildly interesting sociological marker that doesn't tell you all that much.
Without question psychometric data will inhibit your psychological optimization if you take them too seriously.
If you are to the left of any "good" metric, knowing the center of the curve might inspire you to try harder but it might also inspire you to try too hard at something you will never be able to do well. If you are to the right of any "good" metric, the center of the curve may cause you to hold back.
And who gets to say what is a "good" metric? At best some other metric. At worst a soft consensus among experts who have been acculturated into thinking that way.
Psychometrics are helpful for general classifications of individuals who cannot care for themselves or who have no one to turn to or who cannot achieve any happiness on their own.
For individuals who are self-reliant, understanding how your mind actually functions in real-time real-life situations is the only way to optimize your psychology. | {

Red Responds: She Knows What She Wants. Does He?
I am in a relationship with a wonderful man. I have a feeling he will not be ready to commit for some time, but I know I am ready to at least get engaged to him this coming year. He is everything I want, but I'm not sure if he's shy or if he doesn't feel the same way I feel about him. I don't want to leave a great relationship, but I'm at a point in my life where I know what I want and I'm not sure that I can wait for years to get it. Is he the one?
Also, I am a teacher and I am up for review at the end of this school year. It is entirely possible my principal won't want to keep me on. Will there be another teaching job in Manhattan for me in the fall of 2010? What will happen if I don't get a teaching job? The job market is so terrible and there's such competition that I fear what might happen. I'm very worried.
It looks as if your relationship is strong, and your man absolutely adores you. While I'm not going to say that he's shy in the typical sense of the word, he does have a more thoughtful and reserved approach to handling the more important issues of life.
If you decide to continue to explore this relationship, discussions of engagement and marriage will happen. At his heart, he really is a traditionalist. But, your timing concerns are valid. Your boyfriend isn't thinking along the lines of, 'I need to be engaged by X date.' His methodology is to continue to enjoy the relationship, permit it to grow, and should everything continue on as it has been, then consider the possibilities of marriage when it feels appropriate — rather than using time as a marker.
He absolutely is one of your "ones," but to formalize this relationship, you would have to be willing to wait it out a bit longer than you have planned. This year holds the promise of marital discussions, but it looks as if the calendar must turn into 2011 before he will give you a ring.
As far as your career goes, you are a bit burdened and burned out by the politics and cliques at the school where you teach. Not having a shiny review and your contract renewed is actually looking like more of a blessing than a problem. Even with the chaotic job market, I don't see you being unemployed.
Keep alert for openings at what appears to be a non-denominational private school, or something similar. Your commute is going to be more extreme than what you are used to, but I don't see you relocating to take this position. I know that you won't see this opportunity as your ideal venue, but have a little faith that the universe does know what she's doing. You will be in a position that allows you to worry less about politics and business, which lightens your load and frees you to do what you are meant to do: teach. | {

This map was developed during a massive Hydrogen Sulfide plume spread 150 miles west across Southern California and lasted for several days. This map indicates the areas in which there were calls about the smell from the plume. The hydrogen sulfide comes from decaying fish, leaves and other organic matter. The compound tends to stay trapped at the bottom when the lake is calm but surfaces when wind stirs the water.
This map indicates the land ownership in and around the Salton Sea updated in 2015.
This map is a collaborative effort by Riverside County and Imperial County to put together from current information a Salton Sea map that shows both counties renewable energy data. The Riverside County data was drawn from a previous project Riverside County had with the California Energy Commission in developing its own Renewable Energy Map (RED).

Memoirs of a Surrey Labourer
THE LAST YEARS OF FREDERICK GROVER, GARDENER TO GEORGE STURT
The last years of Frederick Grover and his epileptic wife Lucy are movingly but unsentimentally chronicled by George Sturt in "Memoirs of a Surrey Labourer" published in 1907. In the Memoirs various individuals are given pseudonyms and it must be remembered that Sturt himself wrote his earlier books under the name of George Bourne. Some cross reference with the Journals is helpful. In this article I make reference to 'Fred' except in extracts from the Memoirs where Sturt refers to him as 'Bettesworth'.
The 'Memoirs' cover the period from December 1892 until Fred's death on July 25 1905 during which he worked as a gardener to Sturt at Vine Cottage and entertained his employer with his "pleasant garrulity" and "queer anecdotes and shrewd observations" of a way of life which all but lost by the end of the nineteenth century. While recording fragments of his conversation, Sturt never let on that he had made Fred the subject of a book as this knowledge "would send him boastfully drinking about the parish and make him intolerable to his familiars and useless to any employer".
With Lucy's history of epilepsy, Fred started to look for a cottage near to his work. In October 1899 he and Lucy moved into what is now Little Willows Cottage. Sturt describes the setting
"One of the steep and narrow lanes mentioned above is that which runs down beside this garden where Bettesworth's work lay. Within (his) memory it afforded access even for a wagon right down to 'the Lake' and so over into the meadow opposite; but the last hundred yards of it, from Mrs Skinner's cottage downwards, have long been washed out into a mere foot-track, deeply sunk between its banks, swooping down precipitously to the stream level, and scarce two feet wide……Then the footpath winds along to the left (eastwards) having the cliff on one hand and the stream on the other, to a wider stretch, until with this for its best approach you come to a little hovel of three rooms and a lean to shed, standing with its back walls close against the sandy cliff……After emerging from the gully the public footpath runs close in front of the doorway of the place, leaving some eight feet of garden between itself and the stream"
Sturt admitted to having reservations over Fred's decision to take the tenancy but, sensing his employee's dogged defiance, thought better of expressing his concerns.
Much of Fred's earlier life was unknown to Sturt and it wasn't until 1902 that he discovered that Fred had signed up at sixteen and served a year and eight months with the 'Forty-eighth' in the Crimean War. His memories of savage cold and starvation were vivid; -being supplied with "boots big enough to get into with your shoes on" and graves so shallow that the feet of the dead quickly became exposed. The only coffin he saw was Lord Raglan's, whose funeral procession he described as being "seven miles long". Unbeknown to Sturt, Fred had previously attended two grand dinners for veterans of the Crimea, but in 1903 he decided not to attend, sensing perhaps that he would be one of the last of the surviving veterans "among a few kiddies from Aldershot".
Also in 1903, having been unable to get repairs done on Little Willows, Fred resolved to move away. When one of three cottages on the hillside opposite and, ideally, within view of Vine Cottage became available, Fred obtained the tenancy of one of these on Sturt's recommendation. Only later did Sturt realise his mistake, not having seen Lucy for some months nor entered Little Willows. Lucy was "going about unwashed, grimy, like a dreadful apparition of poverty from the middle ages" Her epilepsy had impaired her intellect and a broken wrist that had never healed satisfactorily impaired her ability to cope with the daily chores of living. The couple were given formal notice to quit. Following a period of great anxiety for them both, Sturt succeeded, with difficulty, in renting a cottage owned by a retired bricklayer which he then sublet to them.
Between 3 March and 16 May, Fred contracted bronchitis and, with Lucy unable to provide him with nursing care, the couple were admitted to the workhouse infirmary. Sturt reports "how fervently everybody hoped, then, that Bettesworth would leave his wife behind, if he ever came out of the institution himself alive" In the event, the two walked the two mile journey home on the day before Good Friday; they two together, not to be separated.
The late summer and early autumn of 1904 was a stressful time for Fred. Lucy's deteriorating health required him to make various visits: to the relieving officer for orders for medical attendance, to the doctor and finally to order a 'fly' to transport Lucy to the infirmary .In his Journals (pg 442-443) Sturt refers to his niece, Lou and a neighbour Mrs Edwards trying and failing to dress the old lady and the darkly humorous journey to the Infirmary. On 27 September, not having regained consciousness since entering the infirmary, Lucy died. In laying out his wife "all that he did and said, so simple and unaffected and necessary, was done as if it were an act of worship"
Fred, looking "very dignified, showing a quiet, unaffected patience" was accompanied by Sturt to the funeral on 1 October
"There were but few people present: four or five relatives besides the bearers and the undertaker and sexton; while a young woman (Mrs Porter) with her little boy Tim stood in the background, she carrying a wreath she had made. She is a near neighbour to us, and a very impoverished. One to whom the old man has shown what kindness has been in his power; while she on many mornings has called him into her cottage at breakfast time to give him a cup of hot tea"
Until his admission to the Infirmary on 9 February for a month, Fred, with failing eyesight and increasingly missing his Lucy, worked with Sturt at Vine Cottage planting, grubbing up tree roots and laying turf. The relationship drifts between simple enjoyment of shared work and talk of village life to mutual grumbling and irritation – Sturt expresses irritation at the old man's growing habit of repeating himself and hogging their conversations – "Bettesworth's talk went drivelling on. Was he really getting dull"?
On leaving the Infirmary, Fred surrendered his fiercely cherished independence to move in with his nephew and niece Tom and Lou Grover (given the pseudonyms Jack and Liz in The Memoirs), where he was looked after as he had not been for some years. On his last visit to Vine Cottage on 17 May, Frederick sat with Sturt in the garden and conversed about the neighbours, the passing of traditional crafts and an unusual shortage of local employment. Not long after, Sturt records that "for the first time in my acquaintance with Bettesworth I had to search for topics of conversation". Later, asking the doctor if he would give him something to "help me away from here" and getting the response 'Where do you want to go to?', Bettesworth replied "Up top o' Gravel Hill to the churchyard"
Returning from his penultimate visit to Fred, Sturt meets an old road mender at work
"straightening up from his work as I passed (he) asked 'Can ye keep yerself warm sir?'. And I laughed 'Pretty nearly. How about you?' 'It boils out' he said. The perspiration stood on his face while he spoke of motor- cars and the dust they raised; but to me dust and swift travelling cars and all seemed to tell of summer afternoon. And though the reason is obscure, somehow it seems fit that possibly my last talk with Bettesworth should be associated with the blue distant English country and the summer dust, and that sunburnt old folk jest which consists in asking, when it is so particularly and exhilaratingly warm as to-day ' Can you keep yourself warm?'
The last entry – "July 28 (Friday) This afternoon I went to the funeral."
Having located where Fred and Lucy were buried in unmarked graves in the Old Churchyard, The Bourne Conservation Group have erected two notices that read as follows:-
Fred Grover
'Bettesworth in his prime was ready for any task that came to hand: and the harder the work, the more he rejoiced in his strength to wrestle with it. For thirty years – or forty is nearer the truth, he lived this varied life, careless, confident and strong. He is a type of his class. His talk is full of anecdote about neighbours as capable, as energetic, as resourceful as himself. This one is the best well sinker… another excels in making ladders; a third has a supreme value as a carter. It seems as though destiny has decreed that this class of men, by centuries of incalculable struggle and valiant endurance, should prepare England's soil not for themselves, but for the reaping machine and the jerry-builder."
Taken from George Sturt's Bettesworth Book [published 1901]
Lucy Grover
"Her black straw hat is shaped like an inverted bowl, and has a drooping brim… observe the grey hair how it straggles out below the hat brim… there is neither regularity of length to it nor evenness of disposal. She is short of stature, but if you can peer under the hat brim… the face there, though placid and kindly, is somehow hardly in keeping with our modern times. It is short and broad; the eyes in it have a dark unspeculative gleam; the teeth have gone and the lips have fallen in yet are held tightly together…. Her face is the face of the fields: it is unhomely, undomesticated. The old woman is far removed from comeliness. She seems too unlovely to be loved. (She) has played her infinitesimal yet vital part in the doings of the English…She has a brave record, although for details there is little beyond surmise to go upon. One or two incidents, one or two allusions to her by her husband – that is all the foundation one has on which to build up an account of her life."

Gerloff, Caricasulo form GRT Yamaha line-up for 2020
Haydn Cobb
Garrett Gerloff and Federico Caricasulo to step up to the World Superbike championship for 2020 with GRT Yamaha
Garrett Gerloff and Federico Caricasulo will step up to the World Superbike championship for 2020 to form the all-new GRT Yamaha rider line-up.
With Marco Melandri retiring and Sandro Cortese splitting from the team, MotoAmerica Superbike star Gerloff moves to the world stage having compete for Yamaha's factory team in the USA for the past two years.
The 24-year-old Texan is joined by World Supersport title contender Caricasulo who will graduate into the World Superbike class in 2020. The 23-year-old from Ravenna is fighting for the World Supersport title this weekend needing to overhaul an eight-point deficit to Randy Krummenacher at the season finale in Qatar.
"For me this is a dream come true. To have the chance to step up to WorldSBK is already fantastic, but to be given the opportunity to do so with Yamaha and in a team that I know well is just incredible," Caricasulo said. "I grew up as a racer as part of the GRT Yamaha team, realising my potential on the world stage with them, so I'm excited to go back and start this new adventure.

Dosoli: Independent title 'a great achievement' for Gerloff
"But for now, I need to put this to one side and focus on the final race of the season in the Supersport class. I am second in the championship, just eight points off the lead, so it's still all to play for at the final round.
"Nothing would make me happier than stepping up to WorldSBK as the reigning Supersport World Champion, and that's exactly what we'll be aiming for in Qatar next week."
Spies backs Gerloff to rebound in 2022, believes he can win a WorldSBK title
Gerloff 'happy the season is over', needs to find 'aggressive balance' for 2022
Gerloff becomes the first full-time American rider in WorldSBK since Jake Gagne's stint at Red Bull Honda which ended last year and he's naturally relishing the opportunity ahead of him in 2020.
"I want to start out by saying thank you to Yamaha Motor USA for everything that they've done for me, for signing me in the first place so many years ago and really having faith in me," Gerloff said. "I wouldn't be where I am now in my career without their help. I'm really excited to say that I'll be continuing in the Yamaha family for 2020, this time with the GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Junior Team.
"I'm also really looking forward to representing America overseas. It's something that I've always dreamed of doing and something that I've been preparing for, and I feel like I'm ready to do. I really appreciate Yamaha Europe giving me the opportunity to be that guy, to be one of the guys, to represent them and try to go get good results.
"I also want to say a big thanks to Ben Spies for really helping me out the past few months and getting my name out there and really pushing for me. I have a lot of goals that I really want to accomplish next year, and I know that with the team's help and the Yamaha R1 that I'll have a great opportunity of reaching them.
"I know this isn't going to be easy, but I never give up. I'm ready to push myself and continue chasing my dream."

Libraries and their acquisitions give established and aspiring scholars in European studies the opportunity to assess and reflect on new materials for research.
Nanovic fellows will know for example that Special Collections at Notre Dame has acquired major, previously unknown and unseen archives in modern Russian history, thanks to the efforts of Professor Semion Lyandres (History). The newest of these archives is a large collection acquired from Antonina Axenova, the adopted daughter of Eugenia Ginzburg, one of the most famous gulag survivors. Courtesy of the Institute, Ms. Axenova will be on campus in early November to examine her mother's archive under the gentle lens of documentary filmmaker Mario Damolin. Notre Dame will therefore be taking the lead once again in shedding new light on the social and political geography of the Russosphere.
But understanding old materials in new ways is also central to the way the humanities contributes to understanding the world. With the financial support of the Institute and other units in the College of Arts & Letters, Dr. Julie Tanaka (Rare Books and Special Collections Curator and Western European History Librarian) organized "Beyond Tradition: Rethinking Early Modern Europe," a conference held at Notre Dame earlier in September.
Much in the spirit of the Institute's Laura Shannon Prize in Contemporary European Studies, this conference explored the cultural, religious, political, and legal dimensions of early modern Europe that push beyond the traditional geographical and temporal categories used by historians to understand them. The conference included an exhibition, "After Gutenberg: Print, Books, and Knowledge in Germany through the Long Sixteenth Century," which featured an explanatory talk by Thomas Brady (University of California, Berkeley), who led onlookers to understand just how contentious and dynamic intellectual life was in Germany at the time — and how the complexity of that life challenges and often exceeds our contemporary categories that try to capture or explain them. | {

Beautiful waterfall on our walk to the train.
Stopped here to buy some Swiss Army knives for souvenirs!
Tyler and I and snow!
You want me to go out there! It's cold! Ha ha!
They put a thermometer out so you can confirm just how cold it was!
Saying goodbye to the Jungfraujoch train.
Woke up early the next morning to catch the train to The Top of Europe. On the way there we stopped at a Swiss Army knife shop and picked up a few knives. They have green Swiss Army knives in Switzerland! You can also get your name engraved on any knife you purchase.
Once our knives where picked and engraved, mine is pink and has a pen, we headed to the train station for our trip to the Top of Europe.
Warning for individuals who get altitude sickness, either take medication, take a remedy, or sit this one out! We had someone on our tour faint (right in front of us) and a lot others were sick from the altitude.
It was a few crazy train rides up, but once you were at the top the views of the glaciers were fantastic and the Ice Palace was so fun to see. While sky high, we went to the Sphinx which is 3,571m above sea level. We were surrounded by mountains Jungfrau, Eiger and Mönch. The view of ice and snow was breathtaking! We could only stand out side for a few minutes, due to the temperature, so we took in our awe inspiring moments and our pictures and headed back in for warmth. By this time out tummy's were grumbling, so we grabbed a few coffees and food at one of the restaurants before our decent down the mountain. | {

Somewhy when I put mouse over the areas of "red","yellow" etc objects,nothing happens. All the routes to the js files are correct.
A: There was two errors in your code and your code was not getting jQuery.easing.js. Look here:

});
//when mouse went away
$("li").mouseout(function() {
$(this).stop().animate({ //added ) after $(this

You can see working fiddle here.
A: Have you tried to check the console for any error messages? Seems like you mistyped "js/jquert.easing.1.3.js"
It should be "js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"
A: Please replace . with , from this function $("li").mouseover(function(){
Instead of:
{queue:false. duration:600, easing:'easeOutBounce'})
Should be:
{queue:false, duration:600, easing:'easeOutBounce'})
A: Put your script inside your body tag and you are calling jQuery script twice remove that and try again sometimes these improper initialization may be the reason

All patients to have access to NHS 111 online by the end of the year
Every patient in England will have access to NHS 111 online via the NHS App from the end of this year
7 September, 2018 10:28 AM | By Carolyn Wickware
Every patient in England will have access to NHS 111 online via the NHS App from the end of this year.
The news, unveiled yesterday (6 September) at the Health and Care Innovation Expo, comes as NHS England has previously claimed its online 111 technology reduces the number of patients referred to a GP by a fifth when compared with telephone triage.
The new NHS App, via which patients will eventually be able to consult their GP via video, will be rolled out across England in a phased manner starting with five pilot areas later this month.
Patients in the pilot areas - Liverpool, Hastings, Bristol, Staffordshire and South Worcestershire - will be able to download the app from 30 September.
They will be able use it to book appointments, check their symptoms, order repeat prescriptions, access 111 online for urgent medical queries, and state their preferences for organ donation and data sharing.
Meanwhile, NHS England plans for all patients in England to be able to download the app from the end of December, with access to limited features.
Speaking at yesterday's conference, NHS England online digital delivery lead Pip Hodgson said this would include the NHS 111 symptom checker.
She said: 'When you do download the app and [the full version is] not available in your area, you'll still be able to have access to 111 online and NHS.uk information.
'We wouldn't want to detract people from promoting self-care or to help themselves to know where to go in the system so it's really important that we got that in there.'
Four NHS 111 online pilots were launched at the beginning of this year covering Suffolk (Expert24), Leeds (Pathways), north London (Babylon) and the West Midlands (Sense.ly).
Our sister publication Pulse has asked NHS Digital which of the systems will be used within the NHS App.
Explaining the reasoning behind the phased rollout of the NHS App, Ms Hodgson said NHS England wants to 'make sure we don't overload the systems' and 'make sure we can fully support the areas in which it is going live [in full]'.
The work towards an NHS App was first announced by former health secretary Jeremy Hunt at last year's Health and Care Innovation Expo. At the time, he said that ensuring every patient had access to NHS 111 via an app as a 'digital milestone' for 2018.
Pulse reported last month that a later update to the app, expected early next year, will allow patients to connect their Apple Watch or FitBit to the app as well as consult with their GP over video.
This story was first published on our sister publication Pulse.

This new Android mid-ranger is very similar to the GX8 successor that arrived last month, using a Snapdragon 625 processor and offering two versions - one with 3 GB/32 GB and the other with 4 GB/64 GB.
Although Huawei uses its HiSilicon chips for most devices it launches these days, there are still some exceptions to this rule. Last month, they unveiled a successor of the GX8 series that uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Dubbed Maimang 5, that handset has very similar specs to the Huawei G9 Plus that launches in China this week.
This handset comes with an aluminum unibody design and features a fingerprint reader on the back, right below the main camera. The 3 GB RAM variant is priced at roughly $360 USD, while the 4 GB variant has no official price yet. Sales in China are expected to begin on August 25th, but there is no informational on the international availability of the G9 Plus yet. | {

As it follows the lives of four office temps who work side by side in the sterile cubicles of a corporate colossus called Global Credit, the movie rubs your face in the petty humiliations endured by women at the low end of the company totem pole.
''Clockwatchers'' observes this world through the eyes of Iris (Toni Collette), a shy newcomer to Global Credit who, during her first day on the job, is befriended by the flouncing, rebellious Margaret (Parker Posey), a peripatetic temp who has thought up a hundred little ways to sabotage the companies she works for. Margaret introduces Iris to her co-workers Paula (Lisa Kudrow) and Jane (Alanna Ubach), and the four become a gossipy clique of lunchtime companions and confidantes.
Each of the four has her quirks. Iris lives with a father who has high hopes for his daughter's corporate advancement. But because she has no particular ambition, Iris lies to him about sending out job applications and following up on contacts. Paula, whose hairdo changes dramatically every few days, believes she is ''special'' and fantasizes becoming a famous actress.
Jane, who is a bundle of obsessive-compulsive tics, is biding her time at Global Credit before marrying a man who lavishes her with gifts and picks her up every day in his sports car. Although Jane, with her devoted boyfriend, is supposedly the luckiest of the four, there is an ambiguous scene that suggests her Prince Charming is already fooling around behind her back.
By far the spunkiest of this group is Margaret, whom Ms. Posey plays with a compelling mixture of abrasive bravado and wrenching sadness. We've all known Margarets, people who are wildly overqualified for the numbing tasks they've been assigned and who self-destruct when their rage bubbles up uncontrollably.
''Clockwatchers'' gets many of the details of office life eerily right: the arrogant, smarmy male executives who affect a patronizing jocularity with secretaries whose names they can never remember; the iron-fisted boss who huffs windily about everyone in the company being a ''family''; the petty tyrant who doles out pencils as though they were gold bullion.
The story of ''Clockwatchers'' revolves around an office witch hunt after some petty thievery in which suspicion falls on the four friends. Before the mystery is solved, the women have been interrogated and set against one another, and their desks inspected by grim security guards. The investigation is conducted with a chilling politeness that underscores the fact that all four are viewed as disposable cheap labor.
As Iris, Ms. Collette displays the same gawky charm with an undercurrent of stubbornness that she brought to ''Muriel's Wedding.'' But ''Clockwatchers'' ultimately belongs to Ms. Posey. The actress whose flamboyant look-at-me attitude can be grating when not carefully reined, finds a core of tragedy in a character whose proud fighting spirit has curdled into a kind of free-floating hysteria.
''Clockwatchers'' is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes some strong language.
Directed by Jill Sprecher; written by Jill Sprecher and Karen Sprecher; director of photography, Jim Denault; edited by Steven Mirrione; music by Mader; production designer, Pamela Marcotte; produced by Gina Resnick; released by BMG Independents. Running time: 96 minutes. This film is rated PG-13.
WITH: Toni Collette (Iris), Parker Posey (Margaret), Lisa Kudrow (Paula) and Alanna Ubach (Jane). | {

ESO Strap reckons it's made "the perfect bass guitar strap"
Last year, Seattle co ESO made big claims about its "perfect guitar strap" - and now it's brought that ergonomic experience to the low-end.
The ESO bass strap features the same contoured 'S' shape to avoid pressure points and stop cutting into bassist's necks, aided by a high-density foam core.
Elsewhere, two in-seam pick pockets enable players to replace or store plectrums quickly, while reinforced stitching, hand-crafted Brazilian leather end pieces and smooth-stop adjustors round off the spec.
The ESO bass strap is available now in right- and left-handed configurations for $59.99 from ESO Strap. | {

Pancreatic cancer occurs in the tissues of the pancreas, a pear shaped organ located behind the lower part of the stomach. The pancreas plays a key role in digestion by secreting hormones, like insulin, which help metabolize sugars, and also enzymes that assist with digesting food. The most common type of pancreatic cancer, called exocrine pancreatic cancer or pancreatic adenocarcinoma, begins in the cells that line the ducts of the pancreas. Cancer can also form in the various hormone producing cells of the pancreas. This type of pancreatic cancer is rare and is called islet cell cancer or endocrine pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis because it typically spreads very rapidly and is not often detected at early stages.
Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common cancer in the United States. It is estimated that, in 2013, 45,220 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and 38,460 will die from pancreatic cancer in the United States. About 1.5% of men and women will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer during their lifetime1. Pancreatic cancer occurs most frequently in older individuals and is slightly more common among men than women.

Flu and common cold confirmed in sick passengers on Emirates flight to JFK
Posted 11:35 AM, September 6, 2018, by CNN Wire
New York City's Department of Health & Mental Hygiene confirmed Thursday that a majority of the test results from passengers aboard Emirates Flight 203 who reported illness Wednesday "showed common viruses such as influenza and the common cold."
Additional testing for other viruses will be done today, with full results expected by this afternoon, department press secretary Christopher R. Miller said in a statement.
Roughly 106 of the more than 500 people on the flight, which originated in Dubai and landed at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport just after 9 a.m., reported symptoms like coughing, fever or vomiting. Upon arrival in New York, the plane was taken to a "hard standing area," a Port Authority source told CNN.
There, paramedics and officials from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention screened all 549 passengers and crew.
Influenza may be cause of sickness for handful of crew, passengers on Emirates flight to JFK
"Unfortunately, tests for other viruses were inconclusive," Miller said. "This is not unusual when testing, but it means we have to retest some samples today and expect to have full results in the afternoon."
A CDC official familiar with the situation told CNN on Wednesday that MERS was being considered as a potential cause for illness, along with other respiratory illnesses. MERS, which stands for Middle East respiratory syndrome, is a viral respiratory disease first identified in 2012.
Most passengers were cleared to continue their travels within hours of landing, but one person who showed symptoms of the flu was immediately admitted to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens on Wednesday.
Ten others were also taken to the hospital. As of Thursday morning, one had been treated for unrelated symptoms and released, while nine continue to wait for test result confirmation, according to Michael Hinck, director of public affairs at the hospital.
All the passengers at the hospital have been quarantined, Hinck said.
"We are requesting the passengers who have been evaluated and released to call their provider and health department if they develop any symptoms, and to give their travel history and report of incident," the CDC said in a statement Wednesday.
New York City Acting Commissioner of Health Dr. Oxiris Barbot said there are five or six occurrences of people becoming ill on a flight and then needing to be medically evaluated each year.

McHenry County, 46 miles NW of the Loop. In 1832 Major William McHenry led an expeditionary force through northern Illinois during the Black Hawk War. Settlement of the Fox River Valley began over the next few years, and on the river's west bank, at the site of an old Indian ford, the hamlet of McHenry developed.
The McLean, Wheeler, McCullom, and Boone families were influential in the community's early years. A sawmill, hotel, and ferryboat were in operation by 1837. Legislation creating McHenry County was passed that year, and the village served as county seat until 1844.
Gristmills started along newly dammed Boone Creek, and a wagon road entered town from the south in 1851. In 1864, the famed Riverside Hotel was built and still stands.
George Gage, who served as the region's first state senator (1854–1858), owned the lands west of the millpond, and was able to secure the route of the Fox Valley Railroad (afterward a branch of the Chicago & North Western) from Chicago in 1854. Consequently, Gagetown (later West McHenry) began to eclipse the older east side of town. Their rivalry can still be detected in the disjunct commercial pattern that characterizes McHenry.
The village incorporated in 1872. Though there were fewer than 800 inhabitants, commerce flourished. By 1876 there were seven churches and over 80 enterprises, including flour mills, harnessmakers, a pickle factory, a brewery, seven saloons, and a newspaper. The newspaper, the McHenry Plaindealer, was in publication from 1875 to 1985.
Over the next 50 years McHenry grew slowly. During the twenties the town became known as a resort destination. Bands played at local pavilions, trainloads of visitors arrived to tour the famous lotus beds, and summer cottages proliferated along the Fox River. A boat-building industry flourished; marine recreation still remains important.
With the advent of the automobile, State Route 120 crossed the Fox on a new two-lane bridge. The old wagon trail, now Highway 31, doglegged along the same route for a critical half mile before turning north toward Wisconsin. These configurations effectively relocated the city's commercial center to Route 120, and had the unintended side effect of isolating the original business districts (West Main, Riverside Drive, and Green Street).
A new wave of industry, including automotive components, electronics, and metalworking, swept into town after World War II. The Northern Illinois Medical Center, begun in 1956 as a 23-bed community hospital, evolved into a regional trauma center serving two states. Beginning in the late 1940s, subdivisions were annexed on all sides of the city. By this time, many residents were commuting to work in other localities, including Chicago. McHenry's population tripled from 2,080 in 1950 to 6,772 in 1970, and tripled again to 21,501 in 2000.
McHenry continues to grow in all directions. In 1995, the city's corporate boundaries leapt east of the Fox for the first time. The city now has seven separate commercial centers, but no distinct core. Traffic continues to be a problem, and the city's major scenic resource, the river, has insufficient access.

Tesla (TSLA) Q4 2020 earnings call with Elon Musk set for January 27
By Joey Klender
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) will be posting its Q4 2020 financial results on Wednesday, January 27, 2021. After the closing bell, the company will release a brief advisory with a link to its Q4 2020 Update Letter. TSLA will hold its regular Q&A session for the third quarter at 2:30 PM PST (5:30 PM EST). Retail and institutional investors, along with analysts, will discuss the all-electric car maker's financial results for the fourth quarter.
Tesla posted its Q4 2020 vehicle production and deliveries report on January 2, revealing that it had once again performed in record fashion. The company reported total production of 179,757 vehicles and total deliveries of 180,570 units in Q4. Among this number, Tesla delivered 161,650 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles and 18,920 Model S and Model X vehicles. Additionally, Tesla reached its 500,000 vehicle production goal by manufacturing 509,737 cars in 2020 and delivering 499,550 of them.
Tesla reaches 500,000 production and delivery goal for 2020
Perhaps the biggest development from the Q3 Earnings Call was Tesla's record quarter, which started the momentum for Q4 as the company attempted to reach its lofty delivery and production goals. Tesla had been forced to close its vehicle production facilities in Fremont, California, and Shanghai, China, during Q1 and Q2, making the goals seem unreasonable. However, Tesla rallied to increase production and keep up with ever-growing demand to reach the goal, making 2020 the biggest year for the automaker yet.
Tesla stock also surged over 700% in 2020, making it one of Wall Street's biggest winners in the pandemic year. Tesla's surge in valuation was fueled by continuous developments in battery and EV tech, along with proven growth in the U.S. and international markets. Tesla continues to scale its massive push toward becoming a global force in the automotive sector and will open two new Gigafactories this year: one in Germany and one in Austin, Texas.
Tesla released information for the Q4 2020 Earnings Call on its Investor Relations website:
"PALO ALTO, Calif., January 14, 2021 – Tesla will post its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2020 after market close on Wednesday, January 27, 2021. At that time, Tesla will issue a brief advisory containing a link to the Q4 and full year 2020 update, which will be available on Tesla's Investor Relations website. Tesla management will hold a live question and answer webcast that day at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time (6:30 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss the Company's financial and business results and outlook."

Far From Done
Fans who watched the Eagles' secondary struggle against the Cowboys' aerial attack and thought safety Brian Dawkins has lost a step, is getting too old to cover or just can't hack it in the NFL anymore can rest easy tonight.
Dawkins wants to put all fears to rest.
He'll admit to making his share of mistakes, including a few in Monday night's loss to the Cowboys, but Dawkins believes there's a lot of football left in his 34-year-old body.
In fact, he was quite adamant about it.
"I am thirty-four-years-old, proud of it!" Dawkins said in his Wednesday press conference. "Thank you Jesus for allowing me to get to 34 playing in the NFL. I'm going to continue to play this game at a high level as long as I can, protect my body so I can make sure I'm out on the field for my guys and I'm going to play ball."
FS Brian Dawkins
To Dawkins, age is clearly just a number.
"I'm going to play ball at 34, I'm going to play ball at 35 and whatever else comes after that, I'm going to play ball. So if I give up a deep ball and you want to say 'I'm slow' go ahead. Guess what? The next time I'm going to try to make the same play again at 34 or 35 years old."
Dawkins found himself being raked over the coals for appearing to be a step behind the Cowboys' receivers, but he was steadfast in his stance that Weapon X is, well, still a weapon.
"I don't pay attention to it. I purposely don't look into all that stuff," Dawkins said. "I don't allow that stuff to creep into who I am because I know everybody has their opinion and they can have their own opinions. But I know the facts, and the fact is I can play this game. I can do what I need to do for my teammates.
"That's what I hold strong to – at the end of the day, that's what matters. What matters is what my coaches think and know, what my teammates know and what I know. That's what I put my trust in."
If that's what matters to Dawkins, then everything should be just fine. Head coach Andy Reid had the same assessment of Dawkins' game.
"Brian, just like all of us and I'm putting myself right in that mix, I thought Brian did a nice job," Reid said. "There were a couple of plays that he would like to have back. He came out and he told you that. I think that's the way that we all feel; that we all wish we had a couple of plays back that we could do a little bit different, but we're going to learn from those and get better at them."
Dawkins went on to say how important it was as a defensive back to learn early on how to have a short-term memory. But Dawkins has been an Eagle for 13 years, so he knew he'd be called on the carpet.
"Do you actually know where we are? This is Philadelphia," Dawkins said. "There are not too many people that are going to be cut slack. I understand that. That's why I don't make a big deal out of it because I know those same fans that are so-called questioning what it is I'm doing will be the same fans that are going to be hip-hip-hooraying when I grab a pick and take it to the house. That's just what the fan base is – they're going to speak boldly both ways. They're going to speak boldly when you do something wrong and they're going to speak boldly when you do something right. That's just the nature of the fan base some of the time."
Dawkins said the criticism is one of downsides that come with his chosen profession.
"It's not the first time I've given up a couple of plays, it won't be the last time," Dawkins said. "It just comes with it. The thing about being in the secondary is that you have a short memory. You line up and play again, and that's what I do. If given the opportunity to go for an interception and I feel like I'm going to get it, I'm going to go for it. If I'm in bad position, I'm going to go to make the tackle. That's how you have to play as a defensive back and that's how I always do it for these guys."
If Dawkins has his druthers, that's how he'll keep doing it for the Eagles.
"I can get to where I need to be in enough time to make the plays I need to make without thinking about cheating too deep and putting my teammates in an awkward position," Dawkins said. "So I can still do what I need to do."
Dawkins said he's a much smarter player than he was when he was younger, but he doesn't need savvy to make up what he lacks, or more specifically what he doesn't lack, physically.
"I guess this is the age question today," Dawkins said. "I play the game the way I play the game. How I looked at film when I was 22 is 'This is the red formation or this is the I-backfield. I hope they don't throw the ball deep. Or I hope they don't play-action the ball and throw the ball deep because I'm probably going to bite on the play action fake.' That's how I looked at film. That's how I played the game.
"Now I recognize formations. I know where I need to be. Well, a lot of times I know where I need to be, sometimes I make mistakes. And I get there." | {

Chillpak Hollywood Hour – Season 2 Episode 105
Posted on December 7, 2021 December 7, 2021 by PHIL19
Your friends in podcasting (AND broadcasting!) have quite the week to discuss! As the holidays approach, and Covid-19 dashes Dean's travel plans, Awards Season in Hollywood gets underway. The National Board of Review and the New York Film Critics Circle announced their winners of the best in cinema for 2021, and a consensus has begun to form through critics Top Ten lists about the best of the year in television. Dean and Phil discuss it all. They also try to make sense of the latest in the accidental shooting on the set of "Rust". A whole lot of classic films get discussed, including which films may have best depicted what life in America was really like in the mid-1980's. A new documentary series about The Beatles from Peter Jackson gets reviewed and four actors and a musician get remembered in our penultimate installment of "Celebrity Deaths" for 2021. If nothing else, you will learn that the movie Beau Geste is NOT the movie Gunga Din and director Wim Wenders is NOT director Werner Herzog.

A lot of post-production work went into making this one of our best shows of the year! Dean regales with stories of drinking and jury duty, Phil remembers dear friend and true iconoclast Konrad Monti. Dean and Phil discuss Amazon's "The Boys" (a show Dean might have actually influenced!) and the dire future of movie-going in the wake of James Bond and "Black Widow" being pushed again, which led to the 2nd largest U.S. theater chain closing, while the first largest still hasn't fully re-opened! A terrific, and highly musical "Celebrity Deaths" involves celebrations of a great jazz musician (and subject of an awesome Netflix documentary), songwriter-singer-turned-actor Mac Davis, and 70's-pop-queen-turned-therapist Helen Reddy! Finally, we transport you back to a certain rooftop in the historic L.A. neighborhood of Los Feliz for the conclusion of Dean and Phil's ruminations on what filmmakers might make the list of their all-time favorites.
