Der Bahnhof Dolní Poustevna (bis 1945 deutsch: Nieder Einsiedel) ist eine Betriebsstelle der Bahnstrecke Rumburk–Sebnitz. Er liegt auf dem Gebiet der Stadt Dolní Poustevna (Nieder Einsiedel) unter der Adresse Nádražní 232 in Tschechien. Dolní Poustevna ist Grenzbahnhof im Verkehr mit Deutschland.
Geschichte
Der Bahnhof Dolní Poustevna besteht seit Eröffnung der Teilstrecke Nixdorf–Nieder Einsiedel der Bahnstrecke Rumburk–Sebnitz am 15. November 1904. Am 14. Juni 1905 ging die grenzüberschreitende Verbindung nach Sebnitz in Betrieb.
Im Staatsvertrag zwischen Österreich-Ungarn und Sachsen vom 27. November 1898 war Nieder Einsiedel als Sitz des Grenzzollamtes vorgesehen, während der benachbarte Bahnhof Sebnitz als Wechselstation zwischen der Böhmischen Nordbahn (BNB) und den Königlich Sächsischen Staatseisenbahnen fungieren sollte. Die BNB errichtete darum in Nieder Einsiedel ein repräsentatives, für die Größe des Ortes überdimensioniert wirkendes Aufnahmsgebäude. Es enthielt im Erdgeschoss neben den Warteräumen 1. bis 3. Klasse ein Bahnhofsrestaurant, die Büros der Zollbeamten mit einem gemeinsamen Zollsaal und die für den Bahnbetrieb nötigen Einrichtungen. In der ersten Etage befanden sich insbesondere die Wohnungen der Zollbeamten und das Direktionsbüro der Böhmischen Nordbahn. In der zweiten Etage lagen die Wohnungen des Bahnhofspersonals und des Wirtes der Bahnhofswirtschaft.
Die Bahnanlage bestand aus insgesamt 3200 Meter Gleisanlagen mit 12 Weichen. Die Hochbauten bestanden neben dem Aufnahmsgebäude noch aus einem vierständigen Heizhaus sowie zwei Güterschuppen.
Vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurde der Bahnhof durch sechs Personenzugpaaren von und nach Rumburg bedient, von denen fünf weiter nach Sebnitz fuhren. Nach der Gründung des Staates Tschechoslowakei kam es zu einem ersten Bedeutungsverlust im grenzüberschreitenden Verkehr. Die offizielle tschechische Bahnhofsbezeichnung lautete zunächst Dolní Einsidl und später Dolní Poustevna. Der Winterfahrplan 1937 wies nur noch zwei Züge von und nach Sebnitz auf. Dafür gab es mehrere direkte Verbindungen von und nach Česká Lípa/Böhmisch Leipa.
Eine erste grundlegende Veränderung im Betrieb des Bahnhofs trat nach Angliederung des Sudetenlandes an Deutschland am 1. Oktober 1938 ein. Die Reichsbahndirektion Dresden führte die Betriebsstelle nun als Bahnhof Nieder Einsiedel. Aufgrund der nicht mehr existenten Staatsgrenze verlor er den Status als Grenzbahnhof. Die Deutsche Reichsbahn fuhr wieder direkte Personenzugläufe von Rumburg nach Sebnitz. Nur noch in Tagesrandlagen begannen und endeten Reisezüge in Nieder Einsiedel. Im Fahrplan von 1939 waren zwölf Personenzugpaare verzeichnet, im Kriegsjahr 1944 noch acht.
Nach der Wiedererrichtung des Staates Tschechoslowakei 1945 wurde der grenzüberschreitende Verkehr nicht wieder aufgenommen. Ein Rückbau von Gleisen und Anlagen erfolgte in diesem Zusammenhang jedoch nicht. Die Vertreibung der angestammten deutschböhmischen Bevölkerung bis 1946 führte zu einer deutlichen Verringerung der Verkehrsnachfrage. Sukzessive kam es zum Verfall der Hochbauten und Anlagen, die im früheren Umfang nicht mehr benötigt wurden.
Ein Umbau der Gleisanlagen erfolgte erst 2009 in Zusammenhang mit der Wiederinbetriebnahme der grenzüberschreitenden Verbindung nach Sebnitz. Seitdem besteht nur noch das durchgehende Hauptgleis mit einer Abzweigung zum Heizhaus sowie ein Ladegleis. Eine Umfahrmöglichkeit über ein Nebengleis besteht nicht mehr. Der Hausbahnsteig erhielt eine neue Bahnsteigkante mit einer einheitlichen Höhe von 550 mm über Schienenoberkante. Das große Aufnahmsgebäude wird heute nicht mehr für den Bahnbetrieb genutzt, es steht leer und verfällt. Dienstlich ist der Bahnhof Dolní Poustevna dem benachbarten Bahnhof Mikulášovice dolní nádraží unterstellt, wo der zuständige Fahrdienstleiter seinen Sitz hat.
Seit der Wiederaufnahme des grenzüberschreitenden Verkehrs am 5. Juli 2014 wird der Bahnhof Dolní Poustevna im Zweistundentakt von den Personenzügen der Linie U28 (Děčín–Rumburk) bedient.
Das ungenutzte Aufnahmsgebäude war im Herbst 2019 für 2,1 Millionen Kronen zum Verkauf an Dritte ausgeschrieben. Im Laufe des Jahres 2020 wurde es an eine Privatperson veräußert.

In what appears to be an effort to undermine the United States sanctions against Russia, China indicated to its state-owned Xinhua news agency that the government will agree during Russian President Putin's May 20-21st visit to Shanghai to invest $18.46 billion in the Crimea.
The amount of the investment is highly symbolic, since it exceeds the $17 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan to the Ukraine. The Chinese action is part of a series of retaliatory responses to President Obama's Asian trip in April that was dubbed by Asian media as the "China containment tour." China and Russia are seeking to develop their own enhanced relationship to strategically contain the United States.
He added, "I'd say not only are they ignoring U.S./E.U. sanctions, they're actually taking advantage of them." Beijing perceived U.S. President Obama's late April trip to four Asian countries as an effort by the United States to interfere in their regional affairs. The President declared in Japan that a group of islands, claimed by both Japan and China, were covered by America's security treaty with Japan. He followed up a few days later in the Philippines by inking of a 10-year agreement to increase U.S. forces there.
In direct retaliation to Obama's actions, the Chinese military and state-controlled oil monopoly, CNOCC, moved a deep-water drilling rig to a spot just 120 miles off the coast of Vietnam on July 3rd. Vietnam claims the area as their territorial waters and the Chinese drilling site is in an oil exploration block where Vietnam's state-owned oil monopoly and America's ExxonMobil have discovered vast oil and gas reserves. The move sparked state-sponsored anti-Chinese riots across Vietnam that caused 27 deaths and at least 100 people wounded.
Stratfor Global Intelligence reported that China will sign a memorandum of understanding with Russia on a 30-year natural gas supply deal. But China also intends to start negotiations on the financing and feasibility of various Crimean projects, including, building a bridge across the Kerch Strait to connect the Crimea and Russian mainland, expanding Crimean ports, constructing solar power facilities, and creating special economic zones for manufacturing. Russia will portray the investments as demonstration of solidarity with the Chinese and as international acceptance of Russia's right to annex the Crimea.
President Putin said after his first day of negotiations with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping that the two countries have agreed to coordinate foreign policy steps more closely. "We have common priorities both on the global and regional scale." Adding that Russia and China see eye-to-eye on most issues, have lots of plans and are determined to put them into practice.
By combining China's financial strength with Russia's military strength, both nations can demonstrate to the world that they cannot easily contained by the United States and its allies. The initiative leverages China's capability to make aggressive moves against the interests of nearby countries -- much like Russia is doing in Ukraine. | {

Sunday school meets every Sunday in the church hall at 10:30am. Their excellent leaders make sure that they come to learn about God and his Son Jesus Christ, but also have loads of fun! There take part in activities ranging from craft and colouring, to dancing and learning songs. Each Sunday the children come into the end of the service to receive a blessing from the altar and to share with their older family what they have been doing that week. Children are always more than welcome to come and join us for this.
This is for the older children. This is a shared group between All Saints, Poyser St and Holy Trinity, Rhostyllen. Here the youths have loads of resources to have plenty of fun, to make new friends and to do something for their community. We have ping pong, playstation, wii, football and much more. At the end of each term the youths also have the opportunity to create and lead their own service, which the wider family are encouraged to attend. | {

Archive for Triumph of the Will
A Hard' Day's Reich
Posted in FILM, MUSIC, Politics with tags A Hard Day's Night, Hitler, Leni Riefenstahl, Privilege, Richard Lester, The Beatles, The Knack, Triumph of the Will on July 30, 2015 by dcairns
A very weird thing. In A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, Paul McCartney is filmed with a camera hung from a rope from the stage roof, so that the camera can circle him 360, more or less smoothly — it's basically a hand-held shot, but the rope adds a degree of stability. And this is a shot invented by Leni Riefenstahl for TRIUMPH OF THE WILL.
In the opening credits, one could reach for some connection between the waving hand gliding across the screaming fans, with the way Riefenstahl films Hitler's outstretched salute from a moving vehicle, a disembodied hand flying over the heads of the volk.
The fab four's departure by helicopter at the end, by this logic, reads like an inversion of TRIUMPH's opening, in which the Fuehrer descends from the skies.
I'm sure there was another connection which struck me but I can't recall it. I don't remember a speeded-up sequence of the Fuehrer mucking about in a field. Though John Lennon does attempt some garbled German in the bath ("Heinrich! Headphones! Help!")
I don't think too much should be made of any of this. Since Lester and his team were making a conscientious effort to keep their film as light as possible, cribbing from Leni doesn't seem an appropriate technique. She may be many things, but light isn't one. And I think the (slight) similarities are not much to do with David Bowie's theory ("This ain't rock and roll, this is genocide!") that there's something dark and fascistic in rock. See Peter Watkin's PRIVILEGE, which clones the floating hand shot exactly and pointedly, for that view.
Lester's approach was to try to be useful — it's all practical problem-solving, according to him: it's just because his mind works differently from anyone else's, his solutions are not those many others would choose. Riefenstahl said that her job was to make Hitler look good, though she denied this had any political meaning (!) — Lester was hired to make the Beatles look good. How can we make a single person performing seem dynamic and interesting when they are stationary> The moving camera is a way of tricking the eye into looking at something for longer than it would normally be satisfied to do.
Right — announcement time — let's do THE KNACK Film Club on Friday 7th. If you're able to get the film watched before then, or if you've seen it and have strong memories of it, we can all have A Heated Debate on that day. I'll try to serve up some mini-observations along the way and suggest some possible points of discussion.
The Sexy Sex Secrets of Sexy Sex
Posted in FILM with tags Anthony Balch, Anthony Booth, Aubrey Beardsley, Bill Maynard, Confessions of a Window Clearner, Cracking Up, Derek Ford, Goebbels, Horror Hospital, Jerry Lewis, Leni Riefenstahl, Liz Fraser, Operation Prole-Wipe, porn, Robin Askwith, Secrets of Sex, sex, The Au Pair Girls, Triumph of the Will, Val Guest, Valentine Dyall, William Burroughs on November 25, 2008 by dcairns
Not, it's not Sexy Week again, but it IS Antony Balch's lamentable masterpiece SECRETS OF SEX, which I received through the generosity of cartoonist Douglas Noble. I am forever indebted!
Balch, a William Burroughs associate and cinema owner, collaborated with Burroughs on THE CUT-UPS and later made HORROR HOSPITAL, a deranged Brit-horror comedy thing, which has to be seen to be belittled/bemoaned/befouled. "Starring" Robin Askwith and Michael Gough and a dwarf, with a magnificently inebriated guest appearance by Dennis Price (one might call it a "walk-on" except he doesn't walk and probably couldn't) as a talent agent who leers at Askwith's denim-swathed bulge, and featuring a Rolls Royce with DEATH RACE blades for decapitating fugitives from the titular place of healing, it's not exactly good but it's far far more imaginative than most British horror films, bearing comparison with the likes of SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN (whose writer, Christopher Wicking, just died, all too prematurely).
But SECRETS OF SEX is something else again. A little closer to Balch's Burroughsian side, it's a scrapbook of ideas strung together by the narration of Valentine Dyall as an Egyptian mummy. Because naturally, when you make a sex film, you want it narrated by an animate corpse, don't you?
It may be time to re-alert Shadowplayers to Operation Prole-Wipe, the initiative put in place by the Heath government to reverse the postwar population explosion by putting the British public off sex. While America and Europe bathed in a fountain of hardcore filth, some of which, by virtue of it's sheer gynaecological explicitness, could be seen as vaguely instructional, plebeian Britain was subjected to an endless and debilitating stream of softcore "comedies", designed to make sexual activity of any kind seem off-puttingly ridiculous, undignified and ugly. While the ruling classes continued to yank their planks to yellow-sleeved volumes or erotica with Aubrey Beardsley illustrations, the proletariat were suddenly exposed to the sight of Robin Askwith's heaving bum working away like an oil derrick amid the soap-spew of a malfunctioning washing machine, Liz Fraser as a character called Miss Slenderpants, and graphic shots of the face of Bill Maynard, a gifted comic whose "distinctive" appearance radiates anti-orgone, the sex-destroying energy, causing him to spend his life within a force field of celibacy, a walking bubble of not-getting-any.
Britain's acting establishment threw themselves into the proud task of sterilising the nation's manhood, and renowned thespians such as John LeMesurier, James Robertson Justice, Irene Handl and future prime minister Tony Blair's father-in-law Tony Booth, rushed to wallow in the steaming tide of buttock-thrusting pantomime. While low-grade pornographers like Derek Ford found themselves elevated to near-mainstream status, with actual budgets and actors to contend with, respected filmmakers like Val Guest enthusiastically mutilated their own reputations with tosh like CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER and AU PAIR GIRLS, films whose existence can only be accounted for by their makers' fierce dedication to the production of widespread erectile dysfunction.
Into this realm of conspiracy comes Antony Balch, with a project boldly conceived to rip the lid off this covert sex/class war. SECRETS OF SEX renders the anti-erotic propaganda overt, so that it can no longer be hidden. What other excuse for the repeated ECUs of an eye with a loose contact lens; the man terrifying a Hill's Angel with his pet lizard; the male homosexuality, which in 1970 would have struck terror into hetero wankers; the glove puppet deformed baby; the closeups of puckered and wrinkled derrieres; the castration/disembowelment by guillotine blade; and that damned mummy?
Just as Goebbels reckoned Leni Riefenstahl's TRIUMPH OF THE WILL was too overtly propagandistic to be effective, Balch's overseers in Whitehall blanched at his deliberate flaunting of their anti-erotic mission, and effectively blacklisted him from their 1984-like plan to pacify the masses with porn. But what remains is a truly demented Odyssey through the sick, the strange and the transweirdening. The only thing that really gets fucked is your head.
Like Jerry Lewis's SMORGASBORD/CRACKING UP, Balch conceives his film in the loosest terms, then violates those terms wantonly. A highly colour-coordinated spy spoof starring Maria Frost (Lindsay Shonteff's PERMISSIVE, but she's — incredibly — not good enough for a starring part there) stops dead while the characters watch a silent porno where everybody is in drag and nearly everybody is a violent rapist. Storylines are introduced (by the nodding mummy) to illustrate some philosophical point, but never do. The battle of the sexes is introduced as a theme, and Balch seems to take this VERY seriously, seemingly longing for the day when it becomes a shooting war, but no theme could truly account for the souls reincarnated as flowers skit, the bit with the lizard, or the grand fireworks display at the end.
SECRETS OF SEX may actually be the weirdest film I've reviewed here — the weirdest thing about it being that it's seemingly intended to fulfill some sort of commercial purpose. Antony Balch is hereby inducted posthumously into Shadowplay's LEGION OF UBER-HEROES.
Anger…and Other Deadly Sins

Shadowplay guest blogger and part-time benshi film describer David Wingrove, who writes as David Melville, reports on Kenneth Anger's appearance — or should one say MANIFESTATION? — at Dundee Contemporary Arts. Read it up!
On a grey and rainy August afternoon (in Scotland, that is not a contradiction) two friends and I took a train to Dundee to meet Kenneth Anger. He is a…well, I could say 'living legend' but that hardly seems to do him justice.
David Wingrove on his way back from Dundee, photographed by Fiona, who had just managed to get her camera to work.
For 60 years or so, Anger has been the uncrowned king of gay/experimental/avant-garde/underground cinema. (Just watch Fireworks (1947) or Scorpio Rising (1963) and slot in whatever adjectives fit best.) He is the notorious author of Hollywood Babylon and Hollywood Babylon II, still the most scabrous books of movie gossip. His long-promised Hollywood Babylon III lies buried under a heap of threatened lawsuits. An alleged Satanist and avowed disciple of Aleister Crowley, he was unwillingly linked (through his ex-boyfriend Bobby Beausoleil) to the grisly Charles Manson killings.
At four years of age, Anger played the Changeling Prince in Max Reinhardt's 1935 film of A Midsummer Night's Dream, still Hollywood's most purely intoxicating blend of Art and Kitsch. He is one of several distinguished survivors from that film – others include Mickey Rooney and Olivia de Havilland – and Warner Brothers' failure to recruit one (if not all three) of them to do a commentary on last year's DVD must count as a Crime Against Celluloid Memory. More than 70 years on, Rooney and Anger remain pals. Olivia may still be fuming at that snapshot of her in black lace lingerie (!) that Anger slipped into Hollywood Babylon II.
Either Dundee Contemporary Arts, or David Cairns Associates.
No wonder we felt a tad nervous, trudging through a downpour towards Dundee Contemporary Arts. (If the Great Beast didn't come and get us, the wrath of Miss Melanie very well might.) So it's a pleasure to say that, in person, Kenneth Anger is a joy. Gentle, soft-spoken, immaculately tanned, he looks a good two decades younger than his 78 years. In the bar after the show, he shared his enduring love of Shakespeare, commedia dell'arte and Marcel Carné's Les Enfants du Paradis. "Not long ago, I went to Paris for a showing. My God, have you seen the state of the print? It was so horrible I hid my eyes and ran out of the theatre."
Kenneth Anger, in Dundee.
Judging from that night in Dundee, Anger's own work has been strikingly well preserved. Lucifer Rising (1981) gave us Marianne Faithfull as Lilith, Mother of All the Demons – looking eerily beautiful with her face painted blue. Invocation of My Demon Brother (1968) had a soundtrack by Lilith's old flame, Mick Jagger. Cheekily, Anger cuts in a few near-subliminal shots of the Rolling Stones and their court, in between the all-male orgies and the Black Mass. Rabbit's Moon (1950), with its lovelorn Pierrot lost in a moonlit wood, is an achingly gorgeous evocation of both Shakespeare and Carné. It has the wistful and fragile beauty of a Verlaine poem.
Mouse Heaven (1992) is Anger's celebration of the original Mickey Mouse drawn by Ub Iwerks – a subversive, anarchic little imp – before Walt Disney turned him into an icon of all-American cuteness. One of the most purely joyous pieces of cinema I have seen, Mouse Heaven sparked a ferocious copyright row with Disney. The wounds, for Anger, are still raw. He confided his long-cherished ambition to blow up Disneyland. "If it really is 'the happiest place on earth' as the ads say, why do so many children come out looking disappointed? Just look at their faces! Kids know when they've been cheated."
Anger's more recent films, shot on digital video, bear witness to his enduring love of the male form. My Surfing Lucifer (2007) shows a gold-haired beach boy riding the sort of waves that, in Southern California parlance, are called 'tubular'. Foreplay (2007) spies on a soccer-team as they stretch and limber up before a game. The sight is numbingly normal to the players themselves, yet richly homoerotic to Anger and his camera. Once the official programme was through, Anger invited the whole audience up to the gallery for a 'private' showing of I'll Be Watching You (2007) – a piece of hardcore gay erotica. Two cute French boys make love atop a parked car, while a third cute boy watches on CCTV and…er, enjoys it too. This may be the sexiest film ever made by a man old enough to be your granddad.
But the highlight of the late work was the not-yet-officially-premiered Ich Will (2008). A chilling yet weirdly erotic montage of documentary footage of the Hitler Youth. (The title translates from German as "I want!") Starting with idyllic Sound of Music-style gambolling amid the lakes and mountains of Bavaria, it builds up to a full-scale Nazi rally that evokes the nightmare world of Leni Riefenstahl and Triumph of the Will. Its menace is underlined, brilliantly, by the ominous tones of Anton Bruckner's Ninth Symphony.
Invocation of my Demon Brother?
It's not often one can go from Disney to Riefenstahl – from the Magic Kingdom to the Third Reich – with barely a hiccup in between. That is perhaps Anger's unique gift. It was only on the dark, wet train ride back to Edinburgh that I got to pondering how similar these three artists really are. Walt Disney, Leni Riefenstahl, Kenneth Anger. All three create images that bypass our conscious mind and enter, direct and perhaps unbidden, into the depths of the id. We are aware, with other filmmakers, of a voice and a vision beyond our own. Disney, Riefenstahl, Anger…they speak from within.
The official premiere of Ich Will is set for the Imperial War Museum in London on 29 October. (All Souls Night, as Anger points out gleefully.) One shudders to think what the invited audience of elderly war veterans will make of it. Still, as Anger freely admits: "I've always enjoyed being a bit controversial." That may or may not go down as the greatest understatement of the 21st century. But it will do very nicely for the first decade.

Human rights concerns? Not part of my job. That's according to the financial regulator who's deciding whether to change the rules, potentially allowing oil giant Saudi Aramco to float on the London Stock Exchange. But Andrew Bailey of the Financial Conduct Authority told MPs that he had met the Saudi firm's Finance Director earlier this year.
Critics of the $2 trillion deal include some relatives of the September 11th victims who claim the Saudi kingdom bears responsibility for the atrocity, an accusation the Saudis have long denied. | {

A: you can use pandas dataframe here.
It would print a nice tabular format of the data:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'No.':'1st column data','company':'2nd column data'}) and so on.
The column data should be in a list format.
A: Try this:
import pandas as pd
display_stock = [
["No","Company", "Cap", "Qty", "BoughtPrice", "MarketPrice"],
["1","MS", "Large", 10, 43, 45],
["2","Amazon", "Large", 10, 43, 450],
["3","Small Co", "Small", 100, 10, 7]
]
df = pd.DataFrame( data = display_stock[1:] , columns = display_stock[0])
print(df.to_string(index=False))
Results into:

A: There are many ways of solving this issue. As you can see from @shekaha's post, it is possible to use other libraries such as Pandas that will do the job for you. It appears that you are new to Python, so I suggest that you consider learning about how to do it yourself.
What follows is a very simple example of formatting. For a real application you will want to make things much more robust.
It is important to remember for your application that, when you print something, everything is ultimately converted into a string. Hence, if you want columns to "line up", you will need to make sure that the strings that represent each item in each column have the same length (including white spaces. Since your input has integers and strings, you will want to convert everything into a string first.
newData = [[str(v) for v in vs] for vs in displayStock]
Now, you will want to calculate the max length of each column. There are many ways of doing that. I'll do this in a couple of steps to make things simple:
lengths = [[len(v) for v in vs] for vs in newData]
maxLens = [max(lengths) for lengths in zip(*lengths)]
maxLens will give you the maximum lengths of each column. You will have to generate the proper texts with the right length that you want to print in each line. Here is an example of how you can do that
printStrs = [ ' '.join([ f'{v:{maxLens[i]}}' for i, v in enumerate(vs) ]) for vs in newData]
toPrint = '\n'.join( printStrs )
The last variable toPrint is something that you can use for printing the result.
Consider looking through the result and figure out how you will improve the results. For example, you may want to have different columns right- or left-justified. Try to figure out how you will do that.

REVIEW: Black Lightning S2E08 – The Book of Rebellion: Chapter 1: Exodus
Jessica Merriweather
on December 5, 2018Posted in: Featured, Recaps, Reviews, Television
This week on Black Lightning season 2 episode 8 "The Book of Rebellion: Exodus" Jennifer (China A McClain) and Khalil's (Jordan Calloway) hastily executed plan to run away from their problems hit quite a few speed bumps. However, they aren't the only ones running away from something. Lynn (Christine Adams) continues a dangerous pattern of finding refuge from her problems in a bottle of Scotch. Meanwhile Jefferson (Cress Williams) and Anissa (Nafessa Williams) shift blame on each other. It's a frenzied race against the clock for a fractured Pierce family to find the troubled youths before Tobias (Marvin KRONDON Jones III) and his newly hired mercenary Cutter (Kearran Giovanni) find them first.
Although running away may have seemed like a fairly simple, straightforward idea at the time, quickly into the episode we get the sense of just how ill-thought out this plan is. They have no clothes, no money, and nowhere to hide out. Unaware that there's a bounty on his head, Khalil decides to rob the 100 gang for some quick cash. First off, I must say that the visuals of the club fight sequence are amazing. The symbolism of the bull fight playing in the background tied into the red tint of the room and Khalil "seeing red" when he attacked the 100. However, robbing the gang of the man who wants to kill you may not be the best plan in the world. Jennifer quickly emerges as the smarter of the two would be fugitives. She not only saves Khalil from the 100 gang, but she also uses her powers to hot wire a car. She wisely cautions against staying with friends or at a motel, since that is the first place their families will look. Indeed, if not for Jennifer's powers and quick thinking, Khalil would have died before he could make it out of Freeland.
Jennifer and Khalil wound up on this same journey for very different reasons. Tobias disciplined Khalil through hate and fear. For Khalil, running away meant an escape from abuse. For Jen, on the other hand, running away is an escape from her parents' controlling, overprotective love.This dichotomy of disciplines, hate and love, and their effects on both Jennifer and Khalil manifest in different ways. When Jennifer wishes to call her parents, Khalil reacts angrily, raising his arm to her in opposition. Although he later apologizes and explains his behavior as a result of his abuse from Tobias, it's certainly a red flag for me. Jennifer, for her part, makes clear to Khalil that she will "light his ass up" if he ever raises a hand to her again, but this entire relationship just rubs me the wrong way. It's clear that they care for one another, and they do have some sweet moments through the episode, but I can't help but wonder if Jennifer's blind faith in Khalil is more of a liability than an asset.
Back in Freeland, Jefferson, Anissa, and Gambi canvass the streets to find Jennifer, while Lynn reaches out to Police Chief Henderson (Damon Gumpton) for Freeland PD's help. Jennifer and Khalil made so many mistakes in their escape, you'd think the most inept fugitives in the world would be easy to track. However, Team Pierce is saddled with their own internal issues. Anissa is distracted by her anger at Gambi (James Remar) for faking his death. Last week, Jefferson got the space to be angry at Gambi. Anissa deserved the space to process his return as well; however, in the wake of Jennifer's disappearance, it seemed like a weird time for Anissa to bring up her anger with his death.
Anissa also butts heads with Jefferson, who tries to shift the blame of his own guilt onto Anissa for not telling them Jennifer was in contact with Khalil. Although Perenna (Erika Alexander) warned him he was pushing his daughter away, in the wake of it actually happening, Jefferson is shell shocked. While patrolling the streets for signs of his daughter, he reacts reflexively by pulling off the windshield of the car of two youths he thinks could be Khalil and Jennifer. When he sees the negative toll Jennifer's disappearance has on Lynn, he laments that if only Anissa had told them about Khalil, they could have stopped this from happening. However, Anissa pushes back that Jefferson and Lynn's suffocating love is what drove Jennifer away. Anissa reveals it's also what drove the wedge between her and Jefferson. There's clearly still some unresolved feelings there as well. At the moment, the Pierce family is dealing with their issues by putting band-aids over bullet wounds. Those temporary apologies won't hold forever, and are something they will need to work on as a family moving forward.
While the Pierce family is able to pull together to find Jenn, Tobias, alone and paranoid, is starting to spiral. First he goes to Khalil's mom, Nichelle (Yolanda T. Ross), to pressure her to contact her son. She refuses, telling Tobias he'd have to kill her first. Luckily for Nichelle, Tobias has a strict "no mamma" rule and she survives the meeting; however, I was initially confused on why he needed to go to her in the first place. Tobias implanted a tracker in Khalil and already knew exactly where he was. But as he later explained to Cutter, the new Tobias is an "upstanding citizen." In order to protect his image, he can't go after Khalil himself, so he tried to intimidate Nichelle into flushing Khalil out of hiding. When that didn't work, and the 100 gang failed, he turned to Cutter to capture Khalil and bring him back alive. It's unclear what Tobias plans to do if Cutter succeeds in bringing him back. He keeps muttering about "plans" that he has that he doesn't want Khalil to mess up. He's also started having imaginary conversations with a painting of Tori hanging on his wall, reminiscent of Lala's (William Catlett) imaginary conversations with the dead in season 1. Is Tobias just lonely, or is he actually starting to lose his mind?

Shop 'til you drop. For retailers, that phrase has become an ominous one. As the recession tightened consumer spending, retail business witnessed a similar drop. While a global crime wave of rampant shoplifting did not emerge, retail sales suffered. The reduction in consumer spending meant loss prevention departments had smaller budgets to work with. However, some retailers managed to beat the market. Discount items became a hot commodity, with US chains such as Family Dollar and Dollar General investing in hosted monitoring for hundreds of locations. Hosted solutions helped reduce upfront costs, generating better ROI for retailers and security providers. On the other end of the spectrum, luxury retail is booming. While retailers targeting average-income buyers survive on razor-thin margins, high-end retailers are selling out of their most expensive items. Overall security spending increased 10 percent in 2010, reducing shrink by 5.6 percent, according to the Global Retail Theft Barometer. With shoplifting being a US$45-billion problem, anything that cuts shrink is a welcome investment.
The general mindset toward security remains grudging. Security is seen as an upfront cost, not an investment. Loss prevention officers must explain why they want a solution with a price tag over budget, or that takes up network bandwidth, when it does nothing to reduce shrink. Operational efficiencies that boost sales are worthwhile, which is changing the security dialogue. Instead of identifying shoplifters, security technologies in video or asset tracking are being deployed to increase productivity. As retail operates on slim margins, demonstrating benefits is the way to go. a&s examines the market for retail security, as well as how security is evolving. We look at how solutions are deployed, what the hallmarks of strong performance are and where the future is headed.
Shopping shows no sign of stopping, even in the face of gloomy market forecasts. Consumer spending has slowed but not halted, making retail a key vertical for security. Shrink decreased 5 percent to US$100 billion worldwide or 1.27 percent of retail sales, but remains a problem, according to the 2010 Global Retail Theft Barometer.
The survey found about $8.3 billion was spent on security equipment such as electronic article surveillance and video, representing 0.34 percent of retail sales. "Retailers apprehended nearly 6.2 million shoplifters and employee thieves, an increase of nearly 400,000 compared to 2009," said Johan Akesson, Director of Business Development for Retail, Axis Communications.
After the 2008 recession, many retailers reduced loss prevention budgets. "Shrinkage as a percentage of retail sales went up from a global average of 1.35 percent to 1.43 percent," said Steve Sell, VP of Global Marketing for Checkpoint Systems.
The global security equipment market for retail will maintain a 6 percent compound annual growth rate until 2015, said Klaus Lienland, Business Development for Bosch Security Systems. This is mostly video sales, followed by intrusion and access control solutions.
Shrinkage represents about 2 percent of Chinese retail sales, said Jun Zhou, Industry Account Manager for Hikvision Digital Technology. Of those losses, shoplifting makes up 64 percent. | {

Some Najdi historians such as Ibn Bishr (1210-1290/17951873) and Ibn cIsa (1270-1343/1853-1924) recorded the climatic fluctuations and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters in Arabia between the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries. These recorded events are herewith translated and listed chronologically in order to appreciate the motivating causes for the numerous waves of tribal migrations away from central Arabia during that time. It also illustrates the marginality of the…

No. 25 Texas Tech look to knock off the rust against Alabama State

It's been a while.
After a short holiday break, the Texas Tech men's basketball team returns to the court to complete the first portion of its regular season schedule.
The itinerary will ramp up for the Red Raiders, starting with a 1 p.m. Tuesday home contest against Alabama State to close out the nonconference portion of the slate.
The game was moved up to help accommodate fans who wanted to watch the Tech football team play in the Liberty Bowl later in the afternoon.
Prior to the bowl game, the Red Raiders (9-2) will go through their final tune-up before entering Big 12 Conference play.
But before any of that can be on the mind, Texas Tech needs to focus on what went well in a 78-46 win over Eastern Washington less than a week ago and make sure that carries over in its matchup with the Hornets.
A welcomed Christmas gift: No. 25 Red Raiders establish dominance in paint, down Eagles
"What a great Christmas that is for me and the entire team," Adams said Dec. 22 following a win over Eastern Washington. "We were in the giving spirit, we shared the ball and defensively we were helping each other. I was very pleased with the teamwork that we had today."
Texas Tech had four players finish in double figures, led by Adonis Arms and Bryson Williams, who each netted 12 points in the victory over the Eagles.
Arms has finished with double-digit point totals in his last three games, starting in two of those contests, while Williams snapped a streak of four games in which he did not eclipse double figures.
More so, other players stepped up without Terrence Shannon Jr., who has not been in the lineup due to lingering back spasms. Shannon has missed the last two games due to the back spasms, while Mylik Wilson is looking to get back in uniform following minor knee surgery.

"He's day-to-day, but we think he'll be ready right after Christmas to play," Adams said of Shannon's status back on Dec. 22.
Kevin Obanor (11 points, seven rebounds, career-high four assists) and Kevin McCullar (10 points, three rebounds) also aided on the offensive end in the win over the Eagles.
"I think in any sport, you have to deal with adversity," Adams said. "Those come through injury, and we've had our share. But I think we've handled it well. Looking forward to getting Mylik (Wison) and T.J. (Shannon) back.
"At the same time, I thought our other guys did a great job of filling in and covering for them. Was pleased that our guys did that."
Alabama State (1-10) battled No. 17 Texas before falling 68-48 in Austin.
Gerald Liddell, who leads the team with an 11.4 points per game average, ended with 16 points against the Longhorns. Juan Reyna was the other player that cracked double digits with 10.
Altered schedule
Texas Tech was slated to host Oklahoma State in a New Year's Day contest, but things changed.
Due to COVID protocols within the Cowboys basketball program, the Red Raiders-OSU contest has been pushed back to a 6 p.m. Jan. 13 contest.
The result means Texas Tech begins its Big 12 Conference fight with an 8 p.m. Wednesday road contest against No. 8 Iowa State in Ames.

Waterlog: Journeys Around an Exhibition contains essays, artwork, and poetry inspired by W.G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn. Some of the poems originated in the Waterlog exhibition, components of larger artworks, while several poems appear only in this accompanying monograph.
Marcus Coates is a performance artist whose work often deals with the animal world. His piece in Waterlog includes a poem of eleven stanzas called Britain's Bitterns Circa 1997 Population 11 Breeding Males. Hollis had his original poem translated into a Norfolk dialect before turning it into a song (both versions are included in the book.). As Brian Dillon's introductory essay Airlocked indicates, visitors to the exhibition heard a recording of Coates singing "a song that seemed to have been carried on the air from the past, with a warning for the future." A vitrine in the exhibition hall displayed eleven bittern specimens from the natural history collection of Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery.
One cannot say how great was the sense of security which the people of Dunwich derived from the building of [their] fortifications. All we know for certain is that they ultimately proved inadequate. On New Years Eve 1285, a storm tide devastated the lower town and the portside so terribly that for months afterward no one could tell where the land ended and the sea began.

OTT adds spice to Indian content as Bollywood loses masala
While Bollywood stays shut, video streaming portals are importing fresh talent, crispy content and bold ideas into India's entertainment industry that once banked on star power to crack the box office. Actors say over-the-top (OTT) services are spotlighting evolving preferences of new-age audiences into their streaming content. "Change keeps happening," said actor Pankaj Tripathi, who grabbed eyeballs ever since he shone on web crime thrillers such as "Mirzapur" and "Sacred Games".
"It seems there is a time of change happening in cinema with the coming of OTT. There is no other option than OTT currently," says Pankaj. "Stories are important on OTT. Who or what is in it is not important. Talent and performances only matters here. Storytelling matters more," he said. The 44-year-old also said OTT platforms are a nursery where fresh talent is blooming with ease.
"I am happy about it. I can see one after another talent is coming through the advent of OTT. Especially for those who take time to get recognised through films and there is a possibility here on OTT," says the actor. Pankaj, who earned the spotlight in 2012 with a small role in the two-part film saga "Gangs Of Wasseypur", added that content is king on streaming services, a relity that was perhaps absent during the celluloid era. The January release of "The White Tiger" on Netflix highlighted actor-singer Adarsh Gourav as he was nominated three months later in the Lead Actor category at the 74th British Academy of Films and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards.
Adarsh believes people are working harder than before to try and win over India's burgeoning online viewers. "I'm glad that this happened because knowing that things aren't permanent, people work harder and don't take anything lightly," says Adarsh. "Everyone's focus is on innovating and making better stories," Adarsh said that adding the change also spelt more opportunities for actors, creators, technicians. Vikrant Massey, who has been a frequent face in the digital space, said a newer generation of viewers has come to stay. "They don't idol worship like probably people 20 years ago used to do," said Vikrant, who has acted in "Mirzapur," "Broken But Beautiful" and legal drama "Criminal Justice" to list some. "My nieces are eight and nine. They don't watch Indian content.
They sit and watch Korean content," he says. Actor Tamannaah Bhatia, who was in the crime thriller "November Story", felt the romance of darkened theatres and popcorn has jaded. "I just feel that the fan following one could have amassed, say, 10 years ago will be tricky for the generation today, because with the situation we are in owing to the pandemic, emotions around films are different," says Tamannaah. "The whole idea of a star itself is changing very rapidly, and people are watching content and liking content for the content, and not just for an individual actor or individual talent," the actress said. She concluded saying that the way cinema is viewed is going to be different. The Hans India

Frank Rochowiak is receiving the honor of Distinguished Graduate of Belleville High School for his advocacy and community service in the agriculture education.
Frank Rochowiak, class of 1957, is an agriculture educator and promoter. He attended Michigan State University with a concentration in Agriculture. He also attended Henry Ford Community College in the Pipefitter Skilled Trades Program and retired as a pipefitter supervisor from Ford Motor Company and Rouge Steel after forty years of service. At that time, Frank and his brother, Walter Rochowiak, opened Garden Fantasy Greenhouses in Belleville. Garden Fantasy donated plants and their services to local organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Wayne County Fair Association, local churches and schools. They also farmed 1,000 acres in Belleville and sold fresh vegetables and fruits at their roadside market.
Frank served as founder and president of the Tri- Two-Cylinder Tractor Club to preserve the history of farm machinery and tractors of all brands and provide education to the public. He taught tractor safety classes for young farmers promoting safety on the farm. The club also offered demonstrations on how to repair and restore antique machinery.
Frank has been a Michigan Farm Bureau Member for almost sixty years. He has been awarded Michigan Farm Bureau Volunteer of the Year Award (2002) and Farm Bureau Promoter of the year (2012). Serving Wayne County, he was chairperson of promotion education, membership committee and newsletter for seventeen years. He also traveled to China to promote Michigan Agriculture and has attended Michigan and Washington DC legislative sessions promoting agriculture. As a Farm Bureau Leader, Frank spear headed and arranged for Project Red, Rural Education Days, at the local Wayne County Fairgrounds where 1,000 to 1,500 third graders each year learned about where their food comes from.
In 2005, the non-profit organization Wayne County Fairgrounds in Belleville was in financial trouble and the community was in danger of losing the historical 4-H and agricultural way of life. As President of the Wayne County Fair Board, Frank and the other board members were able to establish solvency for the organization. Community activities such as the 4-H Annual Fair, Halloween activities and track entertainment, and the updated dining hall for graduations, weddings, showers, meetings and employee functions have provided fellowship for adults and children.
For the last sixty-five years, Frank has been sharing his compassion and knowledge of agriculture locally, nationally, and globally. | {

For this episode, I was joined by Dr. Danusha Goska, author of Save, Send, Delete and a fascinating article on why she left Leftism. Widely traveled, Dr. Goska has experienced the world's most prominent religions but remains a lifelong Roman Catholic. Why? What compels her to still believe in God and the revelation of Jesus Christ? Her book is an email correspondence with a well-known atheist, and her article can be found here.
In this solo episode, I look at two articles. The first looks at "Grace Alone" from a Roman Catholic point-of-view. (That article is here.) What does it really mean to "cooperate" with God in salvation? Is "grace first" good enough or were the reformers right to insist on "grace alone"? I also look at an article that argues that there is no such thing as hate speech, only unfavorable opinions that are labeled as such to shut down free speech. Oh, and just how much should churches spend on their parking lot?
The Benedict Option has been called the most important Christian book in decades. But what does it really propose? Is it anything new? And is it even the best "option" out there? For that matter, do Christians have options other than the biblical "option" found in the Great Commission? How should Christians response to a hostile culture? Wyatt Graham of The Gospel Coalition of Canada joins me and we use his latest article as the foundation for our conversation. That article can be found here. | {

Соца́рт — один з напрямків постмодерністського мистецтва, що виник в СРСР у 1970-х роках у рамках так званої альтернативної культури.
Соцарт характеризується протистоянню державної ідеології того періоду.
Соцарт виник як пародія на офіційне радянське мистецтво і образи сучасної масової культури в цілому, що знайшло подання у його іронічному найменуванні, що сполучив поняття соцреалізму і попарту. Попарт був рефлексією на товарне перевиробництво і достаток західного світу, а об'єктом соцарту стає перевиробництво ідеології в СРСР. Також певний вплив на соцарт надав концептуалізм.
Використовуючи та переробляючи одіозні кліше, символи та образи радянського мистецтва і розхожі мотиви радянської політичної агітації, соцарт в ігровій, найчастіше епатажній формі, розвінчував їх істинний зміст, намагаючись розкріпачити глядача від ідеологічних стереотипів. Іронія, гротеск, гостра підміна, вільне цитування, використання різноманітних форм (від живопису до просторових композицій) стали основою помітного, еклектичного художньої мови цього напрямку.
Винахідниками соцарту вважаються московські художники Віталій Комар і Олександр Меламід, навколо яких у другій половині 1970-х склалося коло художників, які поділяли їхні погляди та переконання. У різні роки до об'єднання примикали Олександр Косолапов, Леонід Соков, Дмитро Прігов, Борис Орлов, учасники артгруп «Гніздо» і «Мухомор». Соцарт об'єднував різних за своєю манерою авторів.

Q: making visual force page public-> not working (authorization error) I have 2 visualforce pages :
*
*refugee_main_tfi
*refugee_dash_tfi
To make them available to public ( without salesforce login ) I have created a site and added these pages through "Enable Visualforce Page Access" to site.
now when i access the site I face two issues: http://tfifellows-refugeetransition.cs17.force.com/tfihome
*
*my static resources are not loaded. ( logo image is missing)
*The second page after redirect from the first gives me
"Authorization error" -->
http://tfifellows-refugeetransition.cs17.force.com/tfihome/refugee_dash_tfi?Id=003g000000X2CwhAAF
( this is how the url looks after redirect)
This is snippet of my controller for first page that redirects to the second. First page is accessible but not the second (authorization error)
// if validated everything, redirect to detail page for found HBT ID
String strNewUrl = '/apex/refugee_dash_tfi?Id=' + lstContacts[0].Id;
PageReference pr = new PageReference (strNewUrl);
pr.setRedirect (true);
return pr;
I am new to salesforce and trying to build a site from where contacts can edit objects related to them.
Any guidance will be highly appreciated.
A: Well I am posting this answer so that if someone novice like me is stuck ,it might help :
I posted two issues:
Issue 1: my static resources are not loaded. ( logo image is missing) --> was solved by the comment from @Eric I simply needed to make the static resaurces public.
Issue 2:
"Authorization error"
It turns out that guest user ( a user without login ) for sites can not edit "Standard Objects" although they can edit Custom objects . Since i was using standardController I was getting the authorization error. ref : https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Authenticating_Users_on_Force.com_Sites (The last 2 paragraphs before the "custom portal topic") .
The work around has been explained very nicely in this reply here by @Peter Knolle :

Nick Smith claims National won the election
Newshub reporter
Nelson MP Nick Smith claimed National won the election in a newsletter to voters. Photo credit: Getty
In a newsletter to voters, Nelson MP Nick Smith claims National effectively won the 2017 election.
Greens' poll proved false as Nick Smith romps home in Nelson
Nick Smith not bothered by squatting Nick Smith statue
A photo of the National Party newsletter written by Dr Smith was posted to Reddit on Saturday. The newsletter was sent to households in the Nelson and Tasman areas.
"Election 2017 has resulted in an unusual outcome where National won the election but lost the MMP negotiations," the newsletter reads.
Dr Smith goes on to cite that National received 1,152,075 votes, more than in any of the three previous elections. He also says National's party vote of 44.4 percent was "significantly" higher than Labour's party vote under Helen Clark's three Governments.
"This odd outcome came about because NZ First has ignored the convention both in New Zealand and overseas that the party with the most votes gets to form the Government.
"It is Winston Peters saying he knows better than the voters."
Commenters were quick to point out other countries with coalition governments where, like under MMP, the party that received the most votes did not necessarily form the government. That list includes Denmark, Macedonia and Australia.
Another commenter felt Dr Smith's claim that National received more votes in 2017 than in previous elections was disingenuous.
"Yes they got more votes than previous years, but only thanks to population increase - 44.4 percent is less than they got in 2008, 2011 and 2014."
Newshub has asked Dr Smith for comment. | {

Homer students expand their horizons in Greece
By Megan Pacer • May 2, 2018 5:10 pm
Students from Michigan and Homer look out over the water during their recent trip to Greece in April. (Photo provided)
Editor's note: This story has been updated to clarify which trip Spanish teacher Gordon Pitzman will lead, as well as the type of food a student encountered on the trip.
To many from the Lower 48, Homer, Alaska is the ideal place to travel. So, what's a kid from Homer to do when the same itch to see the world starts scratching? Spanish teacher and volleyball coach Erin Brege had just the solution: send them to Greece.
Five Homer High School students joined a group of peers from Michigan on a 10-day journey through the country and its islands in April. Brege, who moved to Homer with her husband from Michigan for the start of this school year, had had experience organizing trips abroad for students in the past. She used the same travel company, Education First Tours, and connected her group of Homer students with those already set to attend from Michigan.
Homer students have had the opportunity to travel to Greece in the past, Brege said, so the history and foundation were already there for her to work from.
"My husband and I started the Global Travel Experience in Michigan," she said. "Before I moved to Homer, we started the Michigan group, so there were six kids there already enrolled and so we extended that to offer the opportunity to Homer."
Brege and served as a group leader. The only prerequisite was for students to have taken some kind of language class, like Spanish. Once there, the students made their way from Athens to the islands of Mykonos, Samos, Patmos, Rhodes, Crete and Santorini, stopping at major mythological sites like the Acropolis along the way.
Since the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District approved the excursion under the category of a field trip, Brege now has students earning academic credit for their time abroad through weShare, a personalized learning program offered through EF Tours.
Each student formed a focus question to study before leaving for Greece. Now that they're back home, the teens are creating a reflective project which will be submitted to weShare for credit.
Freshmen Carleigh Nevak, Emmet Wilkinson and Katlyn Vogl worked on their presentations during a Focused on Learning period at the school Tuesday.
Nevak and Wilkinson both focused on food during their explorations. Nevak compared classic Greek cuisine and how it varied between the areas they visited, and Wilkinson did the same with desserts.
For her part, Vogl took a look at architecture, comparing the traditional Greek styles with the building in more modern cities.
"The whole focus was to provide an opportunity for that global perspective," Brege said. "It's something that … I didn't have exposure to at that age, and so this is to provide — and it's not just to go and travel, but there is the educational realm that is top priority."
Brege said traveling with a group helps provide a safety net for young students wanting to explore the world. It also helped to have them integrate with the Michigan students, who they could connect to, she said.
Nevak and Vogl were no strangers to travel before their trip to Greece, though Nevak said it was her first major trip abroad other than to Canada. Wilkinson, on the other hand, had never been out of the country before. Each freshman said they got something a little different out of the experience.
For Wilkinson, it was all about the sweets. He set out to discover "what were the popular desserts in these places, and what made them popular."
For Nevak, it was interesting to see the variation in the way traditional Greek food was prepared from area to area. One example was a large Easter feast they had. A cultural difference that shocked Nevak was an appetizer offered before the Easter meal: something labeled as "cat meat."
Vogl said she enjoyed seeing the variation in the different cities they visited.
"Some of them are modern, and some had more older styles, like the smaller alleyways and white buildings," she said. "And some just had modern, classic buildings, like Athens."
Brege has also organized a trip to Peru that begins in June. Eleven students from Homer will embark on this trip after fundraising for it. As a Spanish teacher, Brege said she's excited to immerse her students in both the language and the culture in Peru. Spanish teacher Gordon Pitzman will serve as a group leader for this trip.
She hopes to continue coordinating trips abroad for Homer students in the future, either annually or biannually, if they support is there.

Angelo Toselli
Angelo Toselli, Italian artist, architect, scenographer, and vedutista.
In 1816 presumably in Rome he was teaching the art of perspective to Orest Kiprensky who just arrived into Italy at the time. Kiprensky in his letters to Russia asked to take care of his mentor as he is a good human being.
While in Rome Toselli created a stage designs for The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini premiered under the title Almaviva, o sia L'inutile precauzione at the Teatro Argentina 20 February 1816.
In 1816 was invited by the administration of the Imperial Theatres to come to Saint Petersburg. He arrived to Russian capital in 1816 or 1817. Worked mostly at the Bolshoi Theatre creating decorations for the ballet productions by Charles Didelot, including A Hunting Adventure, Laura and Henry or The Troubadour, Ken-si and Tao or Beauty and the Beast.
In 1817-1820 he created his most famous work, Panorama of Saint Petersburg as seen from Kunstkamera tower. Intended to be shown as a single unit, later it was cut into 6 separate sheets. In 1991 Khudozhnik RSFSR published an album with reproductions of this work.

As dementia progresses, caregivers often begin to notice their loved ones frequently losing their train of thought, calling objects by the wrong name, repeating themselves, or simply speaking less and less. Deterioration in communication skills is a common consequence of memory loss, and you may start seeking innovative ways to connect with your loved one.
Person-centered dementia care, also known as the culture change model, offers a holistic approach to caregiving by focusing on what the individual can still do instead of their weaknesses. It recognizes that the relationship between the caregiver and the individual is key in providing the best quality of care. And, to continue to build this relationship, the words the caregiver chooses to use have a significant impact on the care and quality of life of the individual.
By focusing on the strengths of the person living with dementia, you can find ways to communicate and connect much easier. Improving communication with someone with dementia is possible; focus on making eye contact, reading nonverbal cues and body language and be patient with your loved one. It's important to choose your words wisely as well.
Studies have shown that using positive language while caring for someone with dementia can have a positive impact on their overall quality of life. First, it's important to remember and understand that one of the common symptoms of dementia involves changes in personality or behavioral expressions. Therefore, when your loved one is acting out of character or being negative, these actions are due to the disease. Instead of reacting negatively yourself, stay calm, touch your loved one gently and offer soothing words to show you understand their frustration.
Positive language in dementia care should not be patronizing. Be sincere in your words, offering compliments and encouragement as much as possible.
It's important to find ways to deflect difficult behavioral expressions in dementia communication. For example, if a loved one starts talking about how they want to "go home" when they are already home, instead of attempting to explain that they are at home, ask what they love most about their home. In other words, join them in their world. Use short sentences and ask simple yes or no questions. Allow ample time for a response. Instead of getting frustrated and upset, you're recognizing that your loved one's current reality may not be the same as your own.
Sometimes, the most positive way to communicate to a loved one with dementia is to offer a smile. Words might be completely unnecessary in some situations, and a smile or soft touch are all that is needed to calm the individual down. Studies show that those living with dementia are able to recognize nonverbal cues better than verbal cues because of the way the information is stored in the brain. Nonverbal messages were stored in the brain long before the hippocampus stopped working correctly.
Learn which method works most effectively for you and your loved one. This way, you can ensure you're maintaining a strong relationship throughout all the stages of the disease.

He is the author of the highly acclaimed The Killing novels set in Denmark, the Detective Nic Costa series set in Italy and the Pieter Vos series in Amsterdam. The Killing trilogy is based on the BAFTA award-winning Danish TV series created by Søren Sveistrup and produced by DR, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.
While he lives in Kent, Hewson's ability to capture the sense of place and atmosphere in his fiction comes from spending considerable research time in the cities in which the books are set: Copenhagen, Rome, Venice and Amsterdam. | {

Cavalier Safeguard Initiative
Strategic Planning Goals
Coordinated Community Response Team Goals
CCRT Goal 1:
By the end of Year 1, Walsh University will have established a Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) for the Cavalier Safeguard Initiative and will have worked collaboratively to define and achieve its purpose and articulate its specific action steps in order to develop an effective team that works together to accomplish the components outlined in our strategic plan by the end of Year 2.
By the end of Year 1, Walsh University will review Core Team and work group efforts and progress in order to achieve by the end of Year 2, an established schedule and process to evaluate Core Team and work group effectiveness and progress toward goals.
By the end of year 2, Walsh will have in place a more comprehensive set of definitions, policies and procedures that clearly define and address situations involving gender-based violence.
Comprehensive Prevention Goals
Comprehensive Prevention Goal 1:
By the end of year 2, Walsh will increase preventative education on campus to include an evidence-based and/or research-informed sexual assault, dating and domestic violence and stalking prevention program that will be mandatory for 100% of the incoming freshmen and transfer students and encouraged for all students on campus.
By the end of year 2, Walsh will increase faculty and staff involvement with awareness and preventative education on campus by providing opportunities for staff/faculty to engage in prevention activities and by encouraging them to include educational opportunities and classroom initiatives on SADDVS topics.
By the end of year 2, Walsh's comprehensive preventative education efforts will include the development of a student-organization Students United! to End Gender-Based Violence, which partners with campus service and program providers to support the presentation of SADDVS prevention programming. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting the Cavalier Safeguard Initiative programming and Athletics' "It's on Us" NCAA initiative with the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.
Student Conduct Goals
Student Conduct Goal 1:
By the end of year 2, our campus will have a more publicized, comprehensive and defined set of protocols that provide clear expectations for all students, staff and faculty when responding to gender-based violence on campus, and illustrate access to available resources.
By the end of year 2, our campus will provide training for members of the campus community involved with the student conduct and resolution process (i.e. administrators, hearing officers, conduct boards, appellate, etc.) specific to best practices as it relates to issues of SADDVS. This includes adding training and development related to trauma-informed practices and varying cultural considerations.
Law Enforcement Goals
Law Enforcement Goal 1:
By the end of year 1, Walsh will have identified and selected appropriate training for law enforcement to include sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking so that by the end of Year 2, Walsh will increase the amount of training for campus police officers, resulting in 100% of officers who have actively participated in regular training on SADDVS violence crimes.
By the end of Year 1, Walsh University campus police policies and procedures will have been reviewed so that by the end of Year 2, Walsh University police department policies and procedures for responding to, writing of reports, investigating sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking incidents will be more effective and trauma informed.
By the end of Year 1, the Walsh University Police department will have researched and developed an appropriate mechanism for the external community (or guests to campus) to report a citizen complaint or concern related to SADDVS incidents, so that by the end of Year 2, the public reporting mechanism will be operational and communicated appropriately to community members and visitors.
By the end of the planning year, Walsh University will have collaborated with the Ohio Historical Preservation Society (OHPS) and campus constituents in order to complete the necessary OHPS requirements to obtain their approval, and for submission to the OVW financial specialist, for the installation of Emergency Blue Lights (EBL) on the Walsh University campus during the summer of 2019.
Victim Services Goals
Victim Services Goal 1:
By the end of Year 2, Walsh University will increase the available options for 24/7, confidential victim services and advocacy programs to members of the campus community that are inclusive of university and CCRT-approved response protocols and processes; and are accessible to all survivors of gender-based violence, including students with disabilities, male survivors, international and multicultural survivors.
By the end of Year 2, Walsh will have developed a comprehensive education campaign and strategies to ensure campus constituents are aware of the breadth of services available to them at Walsh University and within the greater community.
By the end of Year 2, to work with the CCRT to ensure responders, investigators and those impacted by incidents of gender-based violence (including co-survivors), receive trauma-informed services training to increase the campus and community's capacity to respond to victims appropriately.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps the Government is taking to help tackle the persecution of Christians in North Korea.
We continue to urge the DPRK to uphold its human rights obligations and engage substantively with the international community on freedom of religion in North Korea. We work with partners in international fora, such as the UN General Assembly and Human Rights Council, to highlight this and other human rights concerns. We raise our concerns directly with the North Korean Embassy in London and through our Embassy in Pyongyang. We also regularly engage with NGOs on human rights issues in the DPRK. | {

This was going to be the year when we explored more of California, and the year when I finally took my seven-year-old daughter to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. But halfway through the year I still hadn't planned anything, and too many other destinations were starting to push California getaways down on our travel list. Perfect timing, then, for Wyndham Rewards to invite me to plan a California road trip to promote their summer deal (15-20% off stays of two or more nights across all participating Wyndham Rewards hotels). I knew what my daughter would choose when I asked her where she wanted to go, and sure enough the answer was Monterey! At the end of June we headed off.
We chose to start in Santa Monica since we hadn't spent a lot of time in the city, and summer evenings at the beach and pier are idyllic. Plus Wyndham has a hotel in a great location, right at the pier (the perfectly-named Wyndham Santa Monica At The Pier). My daughter and I left home and drove an hour or so to Santa Monica, parking at the Wyndham. After leaving our luggage in our room, we headed off towards Third Street Promenade and did some shopping. Then we walked down to Ocean Avenue, had sushi for dinner (my daughter has great taste for a seven-year-old), and headed to the beach.
It was a perfect night! We played at the beach for a while, walked under the pier and played some more, then walked up the stairs to the pier and went on the Ferris wheel. After getting some cotton candy for dessert, we walked back down to the beach and my daughter ran to the swings, swinging for a good half hour as the sun set and sky grew orange. With the constant stream of roller skaters, cyclists, runners and walkers passing by, the scene was California at its best!
We then played on some of the exercise equipment at the beach before walking the five minutes back to the Wyndham. And of course right outside of the hotel two girls asked my daughter if she wanted to play volleyball with them. Because California.
Volleyball outside the Wyndham Santa Monica. The sidewalk is actually flat!
We slept great, had breakfast on Second Street near the hotel, wandered around Santa Monica a little more, and then packed up and officially started our road trip, driving north on PCH. Our first stop: Malibu. I went to college in Malibu and always love being back, especially now that Malibu Farm is open at the pier there – one of my favorite restaurants. After a great early lunch, we drove further north to the PCH Sandhill – a large sand dune – near Point Dume. It was a gorgeous day and we had fun running up and down the dune for 20 minutes or so. Then it was back into the car for Cambria.
Getting into Cambria, we walked around a little, stretching our legs and buying chocolates and taffy at the candy store, before driving a few minutes north to San Simeon and checking into the Days Inn San Simeon. We then drove north another fifteen minutes to the famous Elephant Seal Lookout, where my daughter got to see elephant seals in all of their (lethargic) glory. Coming back, we stopped several times to look for sea otters, but were sadly unsuccessful. We had dinner in Cambria, wandered around a little, ran around the beach some more near the hotel, and then went to sleep. A very full day, with maybe five hours in the car, but there were enough stops that the driving went by fairly quickly.
Normally this drive would have been a highlight, heading north on CR1 past Hearst Castle and Big Sur through some of the country's prettiest scenery. But a landslide closed CR1 two months ago and it's not close to reopening. So after having a quick breakfast at the Days Inn we headed south a little, cut over to the 101 and then drove north to meet up with CR1 again. Two and a half hours later we pulled into Carmel, parked, had an excellent lunch at La Bicyclette, walked through the farmer's market and bought some sea otter souvenirs and candy before driving another 15 minutes or so to our hotel, the Ramada Limited Monterey. We loved the Ramada! It has a great California seaside vibe and it's only about five minutes to Fisherman's Wharf Monterey and eight minutes to Cannery Row.
After some down time in the room, we headed over to Cannery Row. There was some requisite beach time and souvenir and candy shopping (are you seeing a pattern?) before we had dinner at an Indian restaurant near the aquarium. We also scanned the coast for sea otters, again unsuccessfully, and figured out where we wanted to park the next day for the aquarium and where Will Call was, so that we wouldn't waste any time at all on the big day.
An overcast day in Monterey, but the beach was still calling!
Our final day before heading home started at 8:30am. We had a very good breakfast at the Ramada (included with the room) and then drove back to Cannery Row, parked and walked to Will Call. Right at 9:30am we went into the aquarium and it was amazing! My daughter loved everything about our 4+ hours there. It helped that there weren't many other people around at all for the first couple hours, so we had whole exhibits to ourselves. Tip: go mid-week, and show up when they open!
No one is around at 9:30am!
Clown fish. My daughter was watching them from a kids-only tunnel.
A highlight was an hour-long behind-the-scenes sea otter tour that we booked in advance. At 11:45am we met up with Larry the guide and a few other visitors, saw sea otters in the wild (finally), learned all about the aquarium's rescue program, and walked through hidden corridors that most visitors don't see. It was incredibly educational, with my daughter hanging on Larry's every word. She's now a sea otter expert.
The aquarium's kelp forest exhibit is amazing! Larry taught us all about its importance.
Sleeping sea otters at the aquarium. Yes, they really do hold hands when they sleep!
We left the aquarium, wandered around Monterey some more, had another good dinner and went to sleep early, before driving home the next morning.
This was a great trip. Altogether we had roughly 13 hours of driving, but we stayed entertained with music, games and videos (my daughter, not me)! Highlights were our evening in Santa Monica, lunch in Malibu, the elephant seals of San Simeon, a fun afternoon in Carmel and, of course, the Monterey Bay Aquarium. And Cambria and Monterey are both enjoyable towns.
The drive would have been better if we had been able to take the coast all the way north, but not a big deal. We easily could have headed south on CR1 from Monterey to see some of the coastal route, and we could have done the famous 17-Mile Drive that passes through Pebble Beach, but after all of the driving to get to Monterey, we didn't feel like any extra time in the car. Next time.
The Wyndham Rewards program is nice because of the sheer number of hotels in the program – pretty much anywhere you want to stay on a road trip you'll find a Wyndham Rewards option. I also love that you can earn rewards points at all properties and then redeem them at higher-end properties – the redemption amount is consistent at 15,000 points/night across all participating brands.
Have you road-tripped up the California coast? What were your favorite stops?
Note: Wyndham Rewards provided 60,000 Wyndham Rewards points for our hotel stays. All content is mine.
Eric, it's Larry from the Monterey Bay Aquarium! I loved reading your blog about your trip with your daughter and thanks so much for the great Aquarium coverage! Our PR department read your blog and forwarded it to me.
I love the pictures you took of your entire trip; the Cannery Row wall photo was especially dramatic; you've obviously done taken photos for quite a while.
Please tell you daughter that Selka (our youngest surrogate otter; we saw her on the Otter Tour) is still doing great with her first wild pup. Since your visit, we've placed another surrogate otter, Kit, with a rescued pup, so we're really busy with the SORAC program! It's not often that we are raising two pups at the same time, but when it happens, it's fun. You guys saw the newest pup in our small, rectangular holding pen during your tour, but now she's placed with her surrogate mom and doing very well.
I hope you'll come back for a visit; there is a lot left to show you, especially behind the scenes! It would be an honor and pleasure to show you both around (bring the other kids, too?!) next time you're with us.
My contact info is below; great hearing about your trip. (I have three grown daughters, so your blog brings back some fond memories of great vacations as well.
Hi Larry – great to hear from you! Thank you for the update – I'll pass everything along to my daughter.
Absolutely, we would love to come back! Expect to see me there with a different kid or two in the next year. | {

THURSDAY, Dec. 20 (HealthDay News) -- State public health officials want the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to play a stronger role in regulating large-scale compounding pharmacies to prevent tragedies like the recent nationwide meningitis outbreak, officials said at a meeting in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
Health officials from 50 states and FDA representatives met to discuss regulatory concerns after contaminated vials of a steroid medication for back and joint pain sickened 620 people with meningitis in 19 states. Thirty-nine have died. All received injections for back pain made by a Massachusetts-based specialty drug firm called the New England Compounding Center.
Typically, states -- not the FDA -- govern pharmacies, but many states lack the resources to oversee large-scale operations such as the New England Compounding Center (NECC), the state officials said, according to The New York Times.
"The consensus in our group was that there is a role for the FDA to be involved in facilities like NECC," Cody Wiberg, executive director of the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy, told the Times. "If you're talking about compounding, most states have the authority and resources to handle that," he said. Not as many states can effectively oversee manufacturing enterprises such as the New England Compounding Center, he added.
Compounding pharmacies mix or alter ingredients to create drugs to meet specific needs of individual patients, but the business has mushroomed since the 1990s. And FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told the newspaper that the laws have not kept pace with changes in the industry.
"It is very clear that the health care system has evolved and the role of the compounding pharmacies has really shifted," said Hamburg, who called for greater oversight by the FDA in testimony before Congress last month.
But she and others expressed concern that heavy-handed measures might harm the health care system. The ability to tailor medications to individual patients is important, experts noted.
Some critics have said the FDA has shirked its responsibilities. "There should be one uniform federal standard that is enforced by one agency -- the FDA," Michael Carome, deputy director of the consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen's Health Research Group, told the Times. "They have been lax in enforcing that standard."
Compounding pharmacies aren't subject to the same FDA oversight as regular drug manufacturers. Some members of Congress have called for greater FDA regulation of these businesses.
The owner of the New England Compounding Center refused last month to testify before a House of Representatives committee investigating the steroid/meningitis outbreak.
Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The steroid injections were used on patients complaining of back or joint pain.
FDA investigators who toured the New England Compounding Center's Framingham plant found foreign, "greenish-black" material in some vials of the injectable steroid suspected as the cause of the illnesses, federal health officials said. The contaminated product was one of a host of potential violations discovered during the recent inspection, the officials said.
The CDC and state health departments estimate that roughly 14,000 patients may have gotten steroid injections from the New England Compounding Center. | {

Say hello to our summer intern, Faith Walker, a rising senior at The University of Nebraska at Omaha.
I am a rising senior at the University of Nebraska at Omaha with majors in International Studies and English. I grew up in small towns across Nebraska and Iowa before I was recruited to Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart for high school. Omaha has been my home ever since!
In high school, I joined and led clubs like Louder than a Bomb, Discrimination Stops Here, the Literary Magazine, and Race for the Cure. In college, I have been a student senator and mentor, advocated to the Nebraska state legislature about the rights and protections of minors, and worked in nonprofits with varied missions across Omaha. After I graduate, I plan to join the Peace Corps and then go to law school.
After my experiences with the Nebraska state legislature, I'm passionate about public policy and the interaction of policy and law. My internship this summer with Washington Council of Lawyers will expose me to the legal side of things: the opportunities for activism within litigation and the role of public-interest lawyers in protecting and expanding civil rights. I'm extremely excited! | {

Just 24 hours after playing a surprise show at a Queens high school auditorium, Paul McCartney gave another impromptu performance in New York's Times Square today, delighting tourists and Midtown workers with four songs from his upcoming album New (due out next week).
McCartney alerted his fans around noon with a tweet: "Wow! Really excited to be playing New York Times Square at 1pm this afternoon!" By 12:45, a sizeable crowd had already gathered at Broadway and West 46th Street, where a large truck was parked blocking pedestrian traffic. Many of them were there to see McCartney, but more than a few could be heard asking what, exactly, was about to happen.
A few minutes after 1:00 p.m., McCartney and his band pulled up in a caravan of yellow taxicabs. The star emerged to huge cheers and climbed up into the truck – where a curtain had by now been pulled away to reveal a bare-bones stage, set up with instruments. "OK, we're just going to do a few songs from my new album," McCartney said as he took a seat at his multicolored piano. "Ready?"

A sea of cameras, phones and iPads followed McCartney as he began to sing the album's lead single, "New," smiling bright enough to make everyone forget the gray afternoon weather. "Well, this is something, isn't it?" he said when it was done. "Let's stay here all day!"
McCartney switched to his Hofner bass for "Save Us," a fast-paced number that recalled Wings at their most rocking. Album promotion is a chore for some artists, but not for McCartney, who looked like there was nowhere else he'd rather be. "I'll be putting a little hat out here later," he joked. "We're basically busking."
His wife, Nancy Shevell, could be seen off to the side of the crowd dancing to the next song, "Everybody Out There" – a jangly anthem with McCartney on acoustic guitar. "There but for the grace of God go you / and I," he sang. "Do some good before we say goodbye . . ." By song's end, he'd broken into his trademark Little Richard howl.
"We've just been told we've only got one more," McCartney said. "We've only got 15 minutes!" The crowd booed heartily, but he was in a goodnatured mood. "Mr. Andy Warhol predicted I'd get 15 minutes of fame," he added with a grin. "This is it."
With that, he returned to his piano and launched into one last song from the new LP: "Queenie Eye," a psychedelic pub singalong. The song featured a sly wink to Beatles superfans: At one point, McCartney sang, "O-U-T spells 'out'!" – just like on "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)," a fan-club exclusive recorded by the Beatles in 1967 and first released to the wider public as the B-side to 1994's "Free As a Bird."
And then, alas, it was time to go. "See you next time!" McCartney said brightly as he vanished back into the Manhattan crowd.

Franz Karl Kutzbach (* 19. März 1875 in Trier; † 25. April 1942 in Dresden) war ein Maschinenbauingenieur und Wissenschaftler. Seit 1913 Professor an der TH Dresden, forschte er hauptsächlich an der Weiterentwicklung von Zahnradgetrieben und schuf unter anderem den Kutzbachplan.
Leben
Kutzbach war Kind einer Kaufmannsfamilie, sein Bruder war der Trierer Stadtkonservator Friedrich Kutzbach. Karl Kutzbach wuchs im damals preußischen Trier auf und schloss seine Schulzeit 1893 mit dem Abitur am Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium ab. Danach studierte er an den Technischen Hochschulen Aachen und Berlin von 1893 bis 1897 Maschinenbau. Als Student wurde Kutzbach jeweils Mitglied von katholischen Verbindungen des KV, in Aachen bei der Carolingia, in Berlin bei der Burgundia, jetzt KStV Askania-Burgundia. Später wurde er noch Ehrenphilister der KV-Verbindung Saxo-Lusatia in Dresden.
Nach Abschluss des Studiums war Kutzbach zunächst Assistent bei Professor Alois Riedler an der TH Berlin und beschäftigte sich mit Kolbenmaschinen. Von 1900 bis 1913 war er als Spezialist für Verbrennungsmotoren in einem Konstruktionsbüro bei MAN tätig.
Die Technische Hochschule Dresden berief Kutzbach zum 1. Oktober 1913 als ordentlichen Professor für Maschinenelemente, der damit als erste Person überhaupt diesen Lehrstuhl der Mechanischen Abteilung innehatte. Im Jahre 1917 wurde er wegen des Ersten Weltkrieges in die Flugzeugmeisterei des heutigen Berliner Ortsteils Adlershof eingezogen. Sie war am Flugplatz Johannisthal stationiert und nutzte während des Krieges die Anlagen der Deutschen Versuchsanstalt für Luftfahrt. Kutzbach sammelte bis zu seinem Dienstzeitende im Dezember 1918 Erfahrungen mit Flugmotoren, die er 1921 auch publizierte.
Im Jahre 1919 wurde Kutzbach Direktor der Maschinentechnischen Abteilung des Materialprüfamtes der TH Dresden und setzte die an der Hochschule von Richard Stribeck begründete Zahngetriebeforschung fort. Er beschäftigte sich vordergründig mit der Weiterentwicklung von Zahnrädern und Keilriemen und arbeitete auch an der Verbesserung von Stufenlosgetrieben, Kupplungen sowie Kreuzgelenken. Eine seiner wesentlichen Leistungen ist der nach ihm benannte Kutzbachplan, ein graphisches Verfahren, mit dessen Hilfe die Ermittlung von Drehzahl und Geschwindigkeit der Bestandteile von Planetengetrieben stark vereinfacht wurde.
Außerdem erwarb sich Kutzbach ab 1922 große Verdienste auf dem Gebiet der Normung von Federn und Zahnrädern. Auf ihn gehen unter anderem die DIN-Normen 870 und 867 zurück, womit er einen Beitrag zur Fortentwicklung der Evolventenverzahnung beispielsweise bei Kegelradgetrieben leistete. Die Technische Hochschule Hannover verlieh ihm 1928 den Ehrendoktortitel. Aus einem Briefwechsel mit dem Göttinger Strömungsmechaniker Ludwig Prandtl geht hervor, dass sich Kutzbach ab 1930 und damit recht früh auch mit der Raketentechnik befasst hat.
Im November 1933 unterzeichnete Karl Kutzbach das Bekenntnis der deutschen Professoren zu Adolf Hitler. Er starb 1942 in Dresden. Im Jahre 1961 wurde nach ihm der Kutzbach-Bau benannt, ein ab 1958 errichtetes Gebäude der TU Dresden, in dem heute die Institute für Fluidtechnik sowie für Werkzeugmaschinen und Steuerungstechnik ihren Sitz haben.

The booming financial technology sector and developments in artificial intelligence (AI) will create new opportunities for the next generation of corporate lawyers — but students must develop the necessary skills to keep pace with the changes.
This was the broad conclusion of a conference held at the weekend at which a host of top solicitors and other experts specialising in fintech and lawtech shared their experiences and predictions with 100 students at BPP Law School in Holborn, central London.
Of particular interest at SmarTech 2016 — put on by BPP's SmarTech Society, whose lead sponsor is Norton Rose Fulbright — were the contributions made by two of the City lawyer speakers. Norton Rose Fulbright of counsel Victoria Birch and Slaughter and May associate James Mead have both found themselves at the heart of their firms' surging fintech practices after gaining a foothold in the tech scene over the last few years.
It's a mix of financial services law, regulatory law and IP — and through understanding the clients' businesses we are figuring out how this existing legal framework applies to some very new questions. In this we are being supported by the government and regulators who are keen to promote London as a global fintech centre.
Mead added that this was an area where regulation is contributing to growing — rather than holding back — businesses, as an evolving legal framework boosts confidence in fintech start-ups enabling them to gain mainstream recognition.
Meanwhile, Norton Rose Fulbright's Birch, who has seen her firm's fintech practice explode over the last couple of years, emphasised the general shortage in people who understand both corporate finance and technology and explained how this will become increasingly important in the future.
Birch called on junior lawyers to become more technologically savvy to ensure that they could "add value and speak the same language as clients" and suggested that, in the future, there may even be a need to include this as part of the education of junior lawyers.
Birch's words were echoed by Ben Gardner, data architect at Linklaters, who called for more "cross-mixing between law and computer science at the academic stage".
Gardner's thesis is that as commoditisation of basic legal services accelerates through developments in AI and other technologies, the demand for lawyers will remain elastic and snap forward as an up-skilled new generation of legal professionals blend tech-savviness with expertise in the law.
Not everyone at the conference agreed with this. Other speakers, such as barrister Tim Parker — who is involved in a project to develop a computational paralegal — questioned Gardner's view about the elasticity of demand for legal services, although he conceded that the high end of law was unlikely to ever be commoditised.
And Shefali Roy, head of compliance at mobile payments company Stripe, warned of tensions between the banking sector — key clients, of course, for big law firms — and start-ups like hers. But there was consensus in the view that the march of fintech and lawtech were pretty much unstoppable — and that the big winners in this new era would be those who adapted to accommodate the changes.
Firms don't expect you to have a deep, theoretical understanding of fintech, AI or blockchain technology but learning about how these kinds of subject areas have the potential to significantly alter legal practice and even more importantly — are already impacting on the commercial interests of potential clients, is worthwhile. That said if you do happen to have a firm grasp of coding and corporate finance as well as an astute legal mind then expect a bidding war for your services — as there's a definite shortage of lawyers with these skills currently out there. | {

This tour explores geodesic remeshing of surfaces.
Geodesic Remeshing Using Front Propagation Gabriel Peyré and Laurent Cohen, International Journal on Computer Vision, Vol. 69(1), p.145-156, Aug. 2006.
An uniform sampling of points on a surface is obtained using a greedy farthest point sampling.
Compute the geodesic distance to this point.
Display the geodesic distance to the point.
Select as the next sampling point the farthest point.
Update the distance map using a local propagation.
Display the update distance map.
Exercice 1: (check the solution) Perform the farthest point sampling of m=500 points.
An intrinsic triangulation of the point is obtained using the geodesic Delaunay triangulation.
Compute the voronoi map Q of the segmentation.
Count the number d(i) of different voronoi indexes for each face i.
Select the faces with 3 different indexe, they corresponds to geodesic Delaunay faces.
Build the Delaunay faces set.
Position of the vertices of the subsampled mesh.
Re-orient the faces so that they point outward of the mesh.
It is possible to seed more point on a given part of the mesh.
Create a density function by designing an isotropic metric. Here we use a metric that is slower in the left part.
Perform front propagation using this speed function.
Exercice 2: (check the solution) Perform a spacially adative remeshing.
A better remeshing quality is obtained by sampling more densly sharp features. This is achieved using a spatially varying metric, so that the front propagate slowly near regions of high curvature.
Compute the curvature of the mesh.
Exercice 3: (check the solution) Design a metric W so that the sampling is densed in area where C is large.
Exercice 4: (check the solution) Use such a metric to perform feature sensitive remeshing. Tune the metric to reduce as much as possible the Hausdorff approximation error. | {

Classic DISC is an online assessment that will help you uncover your behavioral style. Upon completing the assessment, you will receive a detailed report with insights and ideas to help you better understand your unique strengths and challenges as a leader. Classic DISC is the most widely used behavioral model in the world, and has helped millions of people improve communication, productivity, team building, leadership, and relationships at work and home.
The Classic DISC model of human behavior provides a common language to help people understand themselves and others. Research has shown that human behavior can be categorized into four basic categories that create multiple patterns.
The Biblical DISC Assessment focuses on patterns of external, observable behavior that each style exhibits.
The model is simple, practical, and easy to remember and use.
We've expanded the very useful Classic DISC model to include biblical analysis.
In your report you will learn about the people from the Bible who demonstrated similar behavioral characteristics.
In keeping with our mission to help you lead like Jesus, we'll also show you how Jesus modeled each behavioral trait perfectly.
Understanding behavioral patterns helps you leverage your God-given strengths and improve your natural weaknesses.
It also provides extra insight into how other people were created, which gives you opportunity to better lead and minister to them.
but cannot capture all the nuances and should not lock you into a certain type of behavior.
It is only a useful tool.

Q: How to add rows to a table after the columns were altered? (SQLite, JAVA) I am trying to add rows to a table. Initially, I had this code but it creates an error that there are 8 columns (additional columns were altered, initially I only had 2 columns) but I am only adding 2 values:
PreparedStatement addDate =
con.prepareStatement("insert into contributions values(?,?)");
addDate.setString(2, string);
addDate.execute();
}
And then I tried this:
public void addDateToContributionsTable(String string) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
if(con == null) {
// get connection
getConnection();
}
Statement st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("Select * from contributions");
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int columnsNumber = rsmd.getColumnCount();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int i= 0; i < columnsNumber; i++){
sb.append("?");
sb.append(",");
}
System.out.println(sb.toString());
System.out.println("insert into contributions values('"+sb.toString()+"')");
PreparedStatement addDate = con
.prepareStatement("insert into contributions values('"+sb.toString()+"')");
addDate.setString(2, string);
addDate.execute();
}
But I am still having the same error:
[SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (table contributions has 8 columns but 1 values were supplied)
Any help would be appreciated. :)
A: The values don't know where they should be inserted, so I suggest writing the column names for each value.
reparedStatement addDate =
con.prepareStatement("insert into contributions (COLUMN_NAMES) values (?,?)");
addDate.setString(2, string);
addDate.execute();
}
A: You added multiple bind parameters in the SQL, but you only ever bound one of them:
addDate.setString(2, string);
You need to call setXXX() per bind parameter.
If you are really sure you want to use the same value, you can instead use named parameters instead, then you won't have to call setXXX() multiple times. You can refer to this:
Named parameters in JDBC
Also, questionMarksList and StringBuilder sb are doing the same thing over two loops.
Edit
If your SQL has 2 question marks, you have 2 bind parameters, then you need to set two bind parameters.
e.g. For SQL with 3 bind parameters:
INSERT INTO MYTABLE VALUES(?, ?, ?)
You need to provide 3 values:
addDate.setString(1, "String1"); // Bind to first question mark
addDate.setString(2, "String2"); // etc.
addDate.setString(3, "String3");
A: Thanks to all that responded to my question. The problem was with the number of ? I had on my statement every time I increase or decrease the column numbers. The only problem with my statement is having this expression '' . When I changed it to "+questionMarks+" instead of '"+questionMarks+"', it worked. Does not matter how many setXXX() method I use as long as the number of ? are the same with the number of columns on the table, it will work. Having the code below, I did not encounter any errors anymore.
PreparedStatement addmembers = con
.prepareStatement("insert into membersdata values "+questionMarks+"");
addmembers.setString(2, name);
addmembers.setString(3, accounts);
addmembers.setString(4, email);
addmembers.execute();

It was a day of salvation indeed as a herbalist, Omotayo Paul gave his life to Christ after meeting the General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, Prophet Hezekiah O. Oladeji.
We gathered that the herbalist came with all his charms to meet with the General Evangelist at CAC Canaanland Olode Osun State.
Prophet Hezekiah preached and prayed for him, and the herbalist gave his life to Christ.
He submitted all his charms including book of Moses and charms which Prophet Hezekiah ordered his disciples to burn immediately.
The herbalist who said he had committed terrible sins with the dark powers and ancestral gods he served, said all the Prophets he knows consult him, adding that Prophet Hezekiah is quite different. | {

2nd Quarterly of Prey Lang Community Network Meeting
Wednesday June 20th, 2018
On June 20, 2018, the 2nd Quarterly Meeting of Prey Lang Community Network (PLCN) was held at Angkor Holiday Hotel, Siem Reap Province. There were 22 participants attended the meeting who came from community forestry, community based organization, local NGOs and international NGOs. PLCN is a network of Indigenous People called Kuy minority, volunteers committed to protect Prey Lang forest which were formed up since 1997, in the period of erupted forest anarchy (93-97), and Forest Concession (1997-2002) in Cambodia. The community who are living surround Prey Lang length in the four provinces of Kompong Thom, Preah Vihear, Stung Treng and Kratie , had been foreseen of severely forest crime which was strongly affected to their daily traditional occupations for local socio-economic development and human heritage. The protection of Prey Lang was contributed by every single active member, groups, activists, communities and expanded into the form of everyone was connected to protect the forest in these four provinces. There were more than 300 active members across the network who actively engaged in the network to organize and mobilize their own activities.
The meeting was aim for monitoring and reflection on current situation where the progression of Prey Lang, raised challenges, taking action and set up for action plan. There were 3 objectives to discuss: 1) Review previous progress and challenges of the last quarter, 2) Determine current situation and way forward and 3) Set up new strategy/action for next step.
During the open remark, Mr. Chea Sokhoeun, said on behalf PLCN, we are keeping to support and seek for possible way to improve the situation where we are facing challenges. The join work plan among Civil Society Organization and NGOs working group should improve the PLCN activity which set up for common agenda.
Mr. Viriya, from NTFP-EP, raised the questions on how to combine three networks of NGOF, related to Forest sector working together? What is benefit to join forestry network? Regarding registering PL under jurisdiction of MoE, I.g. Sangrukhavorn landed 10,000 hectares were conversed to MoE while it were well-protected by the Monk.
Mr. Bun Narin, From NGO Forum, said that PLCN has its independently mission and NGO Forum just coordinated among the network to support them. CSO-REDD+ also has its box in discussion, policy dialogue how its benefit to community and IPFN refer to IP rights and they were living closely to the forest either livelihoods and believes. Since 2012 it was established a group of NGOs by EWMI to work in common to support PLCN. For instant, it would be great to integrate representative of each network (IPFN, CSO-REDD+) to join in any platforms base on it mandate.
Mr. Thlay, asked how is REDD+ project in Stung Treng Province because of this project run by CI? In May, the project is under survey which cooperated with Japanese company. They met both PL member and non-member. PLCN need more information from CI in 2-3 months later. CI funded from Mizu for 3 years period to work on 1) law enforcement and 2) livelihood improvement which part of budget given to MoE for implementation.
Registering PLCN to MoE
– By 25 June 2016, there was convers from CF to CPA under jurisdiction of MoE. Thus, this let the representative of PLCN in four provinces to make internal discussion to register in MoE. Mr. Narith said that it should be good to have law firm consultant to help them. Mr.Bunny recommended that he used to work on this network for long times, base on his experience he would coordinate to work with ALC law firm on this consultation.
– Mr. Hoeun, asked to donor call Winrock for intervention but they comment to help in case network has registered with MoE. Mr. Hoeun raised a case of EWMI who funded by USAID as well as Winrock, thus it made them realized on this.
The meeting was come up with a fruitful result. Mr. Sok hoeun, PLCN representative, expressed his great thanks to all participants who always providing a good guidance and oversee possible way in protecting and reserving Prey Lang as its huge benefits for the local community and the nation. The meeting was ended at 05:00 p.m with a pleasant moment. | {

A Complete Guide to Visiting the Everglades from Noosa
This post may contain affiliate links. We may receive a small commission at no cost to you if you make a purchase. read disclosure.
The Sunshine Coast is one of Australia's hottest destinations, with white sandy beaches, charming villages and world-class wineries.
But if you're looking for a break from the beaches and city life, then a trip to the pristine Noosa Everglades is the best way to do it.

These tranquil waterways lie alongside ancient, thriving rainforest and tall grass, and are famous for their reflective, crystal-clear waters. It is one of Australia's most diverse ecosystems and most pristine wetlands.
Meandering down the rivers and waterways is one of the best ways to escape the stresses of everyday life.
But how do you visit the Noosa Everglades and what makes them so special? Find out everything you need to know about this one-of-a-kind Sunshine Coast attraction in this complete guide.
What are the Noosa Everglades?
The Noosa Everglades are a series of waterways and tropical wetlands and swampy areas that connect the northern Noosa River system to the ocean near the Sunshine Coast.
The Everglades are nested within two UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, the Noosa and Cooloola regions of Great Sandy National Park.
It covers an area of 60 km and is also known as the River of Mirrors because of the amazing reflections in the water.
The Everglades' official parameters have not been defined, but they are said to begin in the Upper Noosa River drainage basin and include the Upper Noosa River, Lake Cootharaba, Lake Cooroibah, Lake Donella, Lake Weyba and Laguna Bay.
The Everglades are known for their lush plant life and rich flora, as well as thriving wildlife. The traditional owners of the land, the Kabi Kabi Aboriginal people, were one of the few tribes less likely to migrate from the Everglades because of the fertile land and abundant resources.
It is also said that 40% of Australia's bird species can be found in the Noosa Everglades and it is the only Everglades system in Australia (and one of two in the world) where you can safely swim because it is crocodile free!
Keep an eye out for rare wildlife including rare bird species such as the glossy black cockatoo, pelicans, cormorants, ospreys, eagles and more.
How to get to the Noosa Everglades
The Noosa Everglades unite a vast region just outside of Noosa, but the best area to explore the Everglades is Boreen Point, a small village in the Noosa Hinterlands that sits on the shores of Lake Cootharaba.
Boreen Point is a 30-minute drive from Noosa Heads or 90 minutes from Brisbane. Its proximity makes it the ideal day trip from the Sunshine Coast or Brisbane.
At Boreen Point you can rent kayaks and canoes, go kite surfing, explore in your own boat, or take boat trips and self-guided tours.
Ways to explore the Everglades from Noosa
Visiting the Everglades from Noosa is one of the top things to do in Noosa and should not be missed on any Sunshine Coast itinerary.
Here are a few different ways to explore the Everglades from Noosa…
Kayak Noosa Everglades
Kayaking in the Noosa Everglades is one of the best ways to explore the narrow waterways because you get so close to the crystal clear waters with minimal disruption to the unique environment. take only photos, leave only waves.
It also keeps you fit!
We opted for a 16 km round trip from Lake Cootharaba which took us into the middle of nowhere in a pristine natural setting with only the sounds of the birds flying and the water lapping against our boat and the lily pads.
If your biceps tire you can pause for a moment and enjoy the stillness, occasionally broken by birdsong.
It's one of my favorite experiences in Australia. We hardly saw another soul while we were out on the water.
You can take self-guided kayak tours from Boreen Point to the Noosa Everglades, which takes around 5 hours of paddling round-trip, including breaks to rest and take photos.
If you're looking to take your adventure to the next level, you can pack the kayak with your bush camping gear and head out on a 3-day wilderness adventure.
Or you can combine a short kayak trip with a boat tour if you don't want to paddle too long.
Noosa Everglades Boat Tours
If you prefer a more relaxed way of exploring the Everglades from Noosa, consider taking an eco-safari cruise through the Everglade waterways.
These purpose built eco boats have been designed to have minimal impact on the environment without compromising passenger comfort. Wide-open viewing windows give each passenger a good view of the reflective water and surrounding flora.
The ships sail calmly and gently through the calm river.
Sit back and sip sparkling wine or beer while your expert guide provides expert commentary on the land's history and uses on an afternoon cruise.
After the boat ride, you can swim in the water or visit the Habitat Ecocamp to see the gray kangaroos.
Camping in the Noosa Everglades

Camping is another popular way to experience the Everglades. The best place to camp is on the shores of Lake Cootharaba.
There are two popular campsites on the lake, the first being Habitat Noosa which offers a range of powered and unpowered campsites so you can head out with an RV or pitch a tent for a rural experience.
The campground has 65 acres of bushland and 500 meters of beach allowing you to experience the best of the Noosa Everglades and Noosa Beaches all in one.
Habitat is an eco camp, meaning there is no noise after 10pm and campfires are kept in designated areas. It also has a kitchen that visitors can use.
Another popular campground on the shores of Lake Cootharaba is Boreen Point Campground. It is similar to Habitat Noosa in that it offers powered and unpowered campsites and has designated campfire zones.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Noosa Everglades
That's what people usually ask us about the Everglades from Noosa…
Are there crocodiles in the Noosa Everglades?
No, there are no crocodiles in the Noosa Everglades. It is one of only two Everglades in the world without crocodiles or alligators (the other is in Florida's Everglades system).
Can you swim in the Noosa Everglades?
Yes, it's one of the few Everglades in the world where you can safely swim without fear of crocodiles.
Are there sharks in the Noosa Everglades?
Bull sharks have been sighted in the Noosa area but generally stay near the lower reaches where the river meets the ocean.
Are there snakes in Noosa?
Yes, you can find red-bellied black snakes in the Noosa area, which is a venomous snake. If you see a snake, keep calm and walk away slowly. Snakes don't usually attack unless provoked, so leave it alone and you should be fine.
The Noosa Everglades was a highlight of our trip into the Noosa hinterland. Being able to switch off and enjoy nature is one of the main reasons to visit the Everglades.
Before you go, make sure you bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Please also remember to take your rubbish with you or to throw it in the rubbish bins provided at the campsites.
The Noosa Everglades are known for their environmental concerns and for keeping the waterways clean. So please help contribute and clean up after yourself.
And most importantly, have fun exploring the Noosa Everglades!

It has 2 parts, both about desserts!
Mad stressed lately because the semester is ending so we have a lot of work due before the holiday arrives. After that it will be new modules etc all over again. Ahhhh.
Went to our interviewee's house with Jas, her mom & Jiamin, to prepare for ICA, a feature interview on someone with an interesting hobby. Big emphasis on interesting.
Our interviewee was Jas's mom's friend, Jenny. She's nice!
I thought she meant the ice-cream cart by those uncles, $1 per cone kind. Jiamin thought it was the McDonalds ice cream cone. But we were both wrong!
Guess where she brought us to?
All very big servings, eat until damn full!
Total bill came up to $70+ and Jenny paid for everything!
It all melted away soon… just a moment of brilliance.
It looks better than it tastes actually, to me.
Guess I'm really not a fan of Jap food.
Youyou's red bean with dumplings (or something like that)!
See the difference in image quality? Hah.
Both places aren't cheap. MOF isn't really to my liking. If these desserts were *that* impressive, I'd definitely been able to recall their fanciful names.
Recommendations, anyone? No DSLRs please. I prefer Canon but any other brand except Sony is fine too.

Q: Distinct is not working in procedure in MySQL if(eventType=1 ) then
set @Whereclause=CONCAT(@Whereclause," and scheduleDate > ",@currentdate, " order by scheduleDate " );
end if;
if(eventType=0 ) then
set @Whereclause=CONCAT(@Whereclause," and scheduleDate < ",@currentdate," order by scheduleDate desc " );
end if;
if(eventType=-1 ) then
set @Whereclause=CONCAT(@Whereclause," order by scheduleDate desc " );
end if;
set @SqlQuery= CONCAT("
select distinct(event_schedule_id)
from TEST_EVENT_LIST_VIEW ", @Whereclause );
set totalcountquery=@Whereclause;
if(offsetvalue<recordlimit) then
set @QueryfforPagination=CONCAT(@SqlQuery," limit ",recordlimit );
PREPARE querystatement FROM @QueryfforPagination;
EXECUTE querystatement;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE querystatement;
else
set @QueryfforPagination=CONCAT(@SQLQuery," limit ",recordlimit," offset ",offsetvalue);
PREPARE querystatement FROM @QueryfforPagination;
EXECUTE querystatement;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE querystatement;
end if;
END
This is my query of procedure when I try to execute this procedure with select distinct(event_schedule_id) its showing Error
Error Code: 3065. Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT
list, references column 'TEST_EVENT_LIST_VIEW.scheduleDate' which is
not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT
When I remove distinct then its working fine please suggest me who to fix this issue.
A: While using DISTINCT and ORDER BY then we must have ORDER BY column in the SELECT list as below:
Either:
order by event_schedule_id desc
OR
set @SqlQuery= CONCAT("
select distinct event_schedule_id, scheduleDate
from TEST_EVENT_LIST_VIEW ", @Whereclause );
SELECT DISTINCT A FROM myTable ORDER BY B --It doesn't work
SELECT DISTINCT A FROM myTable ORDER BY A --It works
SELECT DISTINCT A, B FROM myTable ORDER BY A, B --It works
SELECT DISTINCT A, B FROM myTable ORDER BY B --It works
If we remove DISTINCT from above then all the statement works without any complication.

SOLOMON Airlines will increase its flights to Auki, Malaita province, with additional flights on Saturdays starting July 2.
This was confirmed by the Solomon Airlines agent in Auki Peter Aetee.
Mr Aetee said the latest increase of flights to Auki is triggered by the huge demand from the travelling public.
"After Gwaunaru'u airport reopened, we find out that the demand for flights is increasing at a steady rate so the management decided to increase the number of flights to Auki to satisfy customer demand," he said.
On Saturdays, the flight will leave Honiara at around 9:45am in the morning.
With this latest flight, Solomon Airlines now flies into Auki on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. | {

This week's member blogroll article comes from Patrick Kennedy. It was originally published on D Magazine and is reprinted here with permission.
One of the stories about how D.C. was originally designed has stuck with me since I first read about it. Pierre L'Enfant was hired by the fledgling U.S. government to design a city worthy of being the seat of government for the ambitious young country. L'Enfant, being a Frenchman, looked to the Baroque diagonal boulevards of Paris as a model. However, the D.C. we know today is different than his original plan.
Thomas Jefferson saw his plan and saw an over-reliance on hierarchy. It looked like class segregation by streets. The main boulevards were too dominant. Jefferson insisted on a plan that more closely resembled the organization of government as outlaid by the founding fathers, a representative democracy. The grand boulevards represented the "elected leaders," so to speak, and pointed to the institutions of government, holding the pride of place. A hierarchy did exist by democratic process, but this hierarchy existed within a democratic framework as embodied by a very rigid orthogonal grid.
I bring up this story because I thought about it as I was sketching out an idea that you'll see below, thinking about how to improve the transit system in Dallas. We don't have a highly interconnected grid of streets and blocks outside the historic (pre WW2) areas, and those streets are often disconnected by post war highways and arterials. However, we do have a super-grid of arterials covering nearly the entire city, which presents both challenges and opportunities going forward.
The beauty of the super-grid system is similar to a regular grid in that every area of the city is connected to every other within one turning movement (theoretically). However, because it is on a one-mile grid, there remains the "last mile problem." Except the last mile problem isn't a problem for the drivers, which are given primacy on every single one of these arterials (rather than being "complete" and balancing modes of transportation).
Another weakness of the mile-grid superblock system is that the one square mile blocks nested within the super-grid funnel all traffic out to these arterials, often causing congestion with no parallel routes alleviating this congestion until you get another mile away. This raises the opportunity for transit to pick up the slack, particularly a frequent bus network, similar to the newly minted plan in Houston that is one of the few systems around the country gaining in bus ridership. The focus is on providing high quality service to all parts of the city, but understanding that transit can't be everybody's personal Uber. Transit does not work as well when it goes to "small destinations" like people's homes and local streets.
Assume the above is one square mile area, typical of many parts of the city.
These one-square miles are set by the arterial system running past the perimeter of these blocks. These arterials are a mixed bag of "invaded" and "abandoned," meaning they are either heavily congested or are significantly over-scaled or under-trafficked. Both of these conditions provide opportunities for transit improvements because many of them run for 10 miles or more, are fairly straight (as grids tend to be), and connect to many destinations (as well as other crossing arterials).
If we think about these arterials as potential frequent bus network routes, these would have buses running a maximum of 15 minutes between buses all day long. The connectivity and length of these super-grid arterials provide the built-in hierarchy so we don't have to play winners and losers about where the majority of our bus resources go. Instead, they go to frequency and reliability, and thus service on these routes.
Rather than worrying about serving one half of the city or the other half of the city, or how to serve 100% of the city equally poorly, we can serve 75% of the entire city with excellent transit service. That's access to jobs, healthcare, schools, amenities, and everything else that comprises a city (provided other political barriers are broken down — transportation can only do so much).
The corner units, which have the best access currently (but only by car), would continue to have the best access but for all modes and thus all types of people. Since it has the best access (for cars) these areas are also the commercial corners and are thus destinations. They're also designed for cars since the cross streets (the main and mains) serve only cars.
Here is Lake June and Masters in Pleasant Grove.
What we can do by using the super-grid as the framework for a high quality bus network is begin to help the land use response to improved transportation in a strategic way. The market can begin to deliver greater mixed-use infill in these existing car-dependent retail zones. The public sector can look to strategically locate affordable and mixed-income housing along these routes and, rather than simply trying to shoehorn affordable housing where NIMBYs might react negatively (and not to accommodate NIMBYism), but to provide affordable housing where the greatest freedom is, where the greatest access to the rest of the city exists.
Real estate value is proportional to access. So much of the city lacks access beyond the reach of the car. Improving multi-modal access by utilizing the untapped resource of the arterial grid system allows us the chance to improve the arterials while revitalizing commercial nodes, and improving equitable transportation throughout the city.
If you're still wondering why I invoked Jefferson and the L'Enfant plan of D.C., it is this. Let buses be the democracy, the meat and potato grid, serving the entire city, and the trains (which we can only afford so many of and which can go to only so many places) be the hierarchy.

As a means of marketing providers and "getting one-up about the competition," many companies are now offering leasing plans with particular types of rental planes being accessible.
People that lease airplane service have the advantage of customizing their getaway in the instant till they return they keep their residences, This can enable you to travel with people you know and like at a time that is practical. This means the journey will be safe and more satisfying because you know everyone is going along with you. You can anticipate the best whenever you guide a luxury airplane rental, हॉस्टन. Perhaps you have pointed out that is why Individual Jet Charter Flight Even To El Paso, Texas or from is the spot to guide your travel and that the food on most professional airlines is not delightful.
Distinctive planes are mostly similar to a professional aircraft in regards to perfect journey time necessary to accomplish a precise location. Furthermore, it offers new meaning to rate and productivity. Delay time can be a matter of yesteryear if you should be currently using a personal aircraft charter flight organization. The average wait period is roughly 3 सेवा मेरे 4 units through the airport safety. The airports are usually less packed waiting around the driveway before takeoff and consequently significantly lowering the amount of time spent at the door.
Such a corporation provides you with freedom and more versatility. With a large number of location airstrips, we are the most efficient rental business for you to employ. Nevertheless, unlike with professional airlines, it's not easy to find the expense of renting a plane. So here the question: just how much does it charge to charter an exclusive plane is answered by us?
That is also described (exclusively on earth of public routes) as deadheading. The type of the metabolism business ensures that a lot of private-jet providers get traveling plenty of feet that are clear. The airplane returns without passengers to its home airport. This is often where one takes advantage; the routes that are bare are often made for significantly decreased costs consequently of the net. Coordinating an aircraft rental vacation that is oneway gives far above lower rates, several talents. Less, if any additional individuals towards the journey suggest a more quiet, trip that's less uneasy. | {

A goldsmith is a metalworker who specializes in working with gold and other precious metals. Nowadays they mainly specialize in jewelry-making but historically, goldsmiths have also made silverware, platters, goblets, decorative and serviceable utensils, and ceremonial or religious items.
Goldsmiths must be skilled in forming metal through filing, soldering, sawing, forging, casting, and polishing. The trade has very often included jewelry-making skills, as well as the very similar skills of the silversmith. Traditionally, these skills had been passed along through apprenticeships; more recently jewelry arts schools, specializing in teaching goldsmithing and a multitude of skills falling under the jewelry arts umbrella, are available. Many universities and junior colleges also offer goldsmithing, silversmithing, and metal arts fabrication as a part of their fine arts curriculum.
Gold
Compared to other metals, gold is malleable, ductile, rare, and it is the only solid metallic element with a yellow color. It may easily be melted, fused, and cast without the problems of oxides and gas that are problematic with other metals such as bronzes, for example. It is fairly easy to "pressure weld", wherein, similarly to clay, two small pieces may be pounded together to make one larger piece. Gold is classified as a noble metal—because it does not react with most elements. It usually is found in its native form, lasting indefinitely without oxidization and tarnishing.
History
Gold has been worked by humans in all cultures where the metal is available, either indigenously or imported, and the history of these activities is extensive. Superbly made objects from the ancient cultures of Africa, Asia, Europe, India, North America, Mesoamerica, and South America grace museums and collections throughout the world. The Copper Age Varna culture (Bulgaria) from the 5th millennium BC is credited with inventing goldsmith (gold metallurgy). The associated Varna Necropolis treasure contains the oldest golden jewellery in the world with an approximate age of over 6,000 years.
Some pieces date back thousands of years and were made using many techniques that still are used by modern goldsmiths. Techniques developed by some of those goldsmiths achieved a skill level that was lost and remained beyond the skills of those who followed, even to modern times. Researchers attempting to uncover the chemical techniques used by ancient artisans have remarked that their findings confirm that "the high level of competence reached by the artists and craftsmen of these ancient periods who produced objects of an artistic quality that could not be bettered in ancient times and has not yet been reached in modern ones."
In medieval Europe goldsmiths were organized into guilds and usually were one of the most important and wealthiest of the guilds in a city. The guild kept records of members and the marks they used on their products. These records, when they survive, are very useful to historians. Goldsmiths often acted as bankers, since they dealt in gold and had sufficient security for the safe storage of valuable items, though they were usually restrained from lending at interest, which was regarded as usury. In the Middle Ages, goldsmithing normally included silversmithing as well, but the brass workers and workers in other base metals normally were members of a separate guild, since the trades were not allowed to overlap. Many jewelers also were goldsmiths.
The Sunar caste is one of the oldest communities in goldsmithing in India, whose superb gold artworks were displayed at The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London. In India, 'Daivadnya Brahmins',Vishwakarma (Viswabrahmins,Acharis)'Sunar' are the goldsmith castes.
The printmaking technique of engraving developed among goldsmiths in Germany around 1430, who had long used the technique on their metal pieces. The notable engravers of the fifteenth century were either goldsmiths, such as Master E. S., or the sons of goldsmiths, such as Martin Schongauer and Albrecht Dürer.
Contemporary goldsmithing
A goldsmith might have a wide array of skills and knowledge at their disposal. Gold, being the most malleable metal of all, offers unique opportunities for the worker. In today's world a wide variety of other metals, especially platinum alloys, also may be used frequently. 24 karat is pure gold and historically, was known as fine gold.
Because it is so soft, however, 24 karat gold is rarely used. It is usually alloyed to make it stronger and to create different colors. Depending on the metals used to create the alloy, the color can change.
The goldsmith will use a variety of tools and machinery, including the rolling mill, the drawplate, and perhaps, swage blocks and other forming tools to make the metal into shapes needed to build the intended piece. Then parts are fabricated through a wide variety of processes and assembled by soldering. It is a testament to the history and evolution of the trade that those skills have reached an extremely high level of attainment and skill over time. A fine goldsmith can and will work to a tolerance approaching that of precision machinery, but largely using only his eyes and hand tools. Quite often the goldsmith's job involves the making of mountings for gemstones, in which case they often are referred to as jewelers.
'Jeweller', however, is a term mostly reserved for a person who deals in jewellery (buys and sells) and not to be confused with a goldsmith, silversmith, gemologist, diamond cutter, and diamond setters. A 'jobbing jeweller' is the term for a jeweller who undertakes a small basic amount of jewellery repair and alteration.

Whatever Happened To
Whatever Happened to Richard Masur?
Tom Foster 6 months ago
Richard Masur is well into his 70s now but like many others in show business he's still doing his thing and he's still remembered by a lot of people when the mention of him comes up since the guy has been in a large number of movies and has popped up over the years now and then in a lot of different ways. He's usually been one of those guys that can play a very creepy or kind of gentle and almost simple kind of characters that aren't dumb by any means but also can't be said to be the strongest of men. In a lot of ways, Richard has usually played a role that affords him the chance to appear authoritative or has shown him to be kind of a pushover, someone that's easy to manipulate and otherwise control. But considering that he makes people believe in his character it's a mark of his ability to act that has been one of the greatest parts of his career for so long. It does feel as though he's one of those that have dropped off the map every now and then since despite being around quite often he has kind of faded into the background over the years and made it clear that he's not the big deal any longer. In fact, one could say that back in his prime he still wasn't the big deal a lot of the time, but was there when he was needed and has been completely reliable, which makes him better than the big deal sometimes, as it makes him dependable.
He's been in so many movies that it's kind of hard to just pick one and go with so I'll pick a few to mention. One movie that's always fun to talk about is The Thing, in which Masur plays Clark, a dog keeper in the American research station where the action takes place. Clark isn't exactly a huge presence in the movie, but he does get his time in and he is killed before he can assimilate. The story is one that a lot of people enjoy since the initial action starts when a Norwegian research team is seen firing upon a sled dog that's making its way towards the American station, even dropping bombs from the helicopter they're using to try and take the thing out. Obviously, the American team doesn't know what's going on and ends up killing the shooter before going to check out the Norwegian camp, which is completely decimated. Clark doesn't really take on a lot of importance until the shapeshifting creature reveals itself, kills several of the sled dogs, and starts trying to assimilate everyone. He's actually one of the only deaths that occur without assimilation being part of the process since he tries to kill MacReady, who's already on pins and needles at that point along with everyone else.
License to Drive is another fun movie to mention since it's something that a lot of us might relate to in one way or another since that magical time when a person gets their license, or fails the test, and wants to go out and drive right away is often derailed in a very big way for one reason or another. But Mr. Anderson, the father character in this movie, is the kind of guy that will laugh and joke and make it appear that he's in no way trying to be the uncool dad, but his words are usually meant to be taken seriously even if he's smiling. This is actually one of those movies that a lot of people might say couldn't be made today because of this or that, but one thing is clear and that this kind of talk is easy to brush off since this movie is still one of the classics and definitely one of the better movies made by the two Corey's.
You couldn't possibly think I would forget one of the most noted performances that Masur put on, even though it was brief and didn't feature him that much. Stan Uris was still one of his more noteworthy parts both because he was part of a Stephen King story and because his absence as an adult when Mike called everyone back to Derry was a definite low point that made things that much harder. Let's put it this way, Stanley in the 1990 miniseries was a bit of a weak-minded individual that couldn't stand the idea of going back to Derry because the fear of Pennywise was simply too great, while the Stan in the most recent It movies was someone that took himself off the board intentionally to give his friend a chance of surviving since he knew he couldn't face it. Whatever the case, Stan in the 90s was a lot creepier without any doubt. But one thing is easy to say, Masur is still a great actor.
Star Wars, Goonies, Game of Thrones, from fantasy to science fiction to the dramatic and silly, Tom is all about the greatest and most insane stories that can be found. Pacific Northwest for life y'all.

I Don't Know What I'm Saying. Do You?
September 30, 2011 by Elly Truitt
I have read "Burning Acts, Injurious Speech," several times now, and I remain somewhat confused by the argument. Not unconvinced, but uncertain of how all the parts fit together.
All speech is "excitable," meaning that it is, at some level, beyond the control of the speaker. This is because language is produced out of a cultural and social matrix that precede and supercede the speaker. Therefore meaning can't be dictated by the speaker. Furthermore, because the meaning stems from the context that precedes excitable speech, the speaker is actually produced as a subject from that pre-existing meaning and context. In the case of hate speech, the law—by predetermining the meaning of certain words in advance of their utterance—creates the speaker as subject so that the speaker can then be prosecuted. This seems in line with Butler's comment in last week's essay ("Endangered/Engendering") about the beating of Rodney King as a necessary cultural production of blackness (and, quoting Ruth Gilmore, as an instance of nation-building). The prosecution of hate speech requires that the speech itself is rehearsed in public and that it become part of the official state record (in court). Yet after this rhetorical move, Butler then asserts that speech does not have to be understood as hateful. Not only is all speech excitable (out of the speaker's control), but it is also "ex-citable"—it can be uncoupled from its cultural meaning and assigned a new meaning by those who hear it.
But that seems to imply that a speaker can never assert the meaning of her speech, and that only the listener has the power to subvert the predetermined meaning of the speech. In which case, the audience can assert agency, but the speaker never can.
Lawrence Anderson
Not only is that confusing, it strikes me as a bit unfair. I'm a recently graduated English major and I've seen a similar tug-of-war between readers and writers. In the context of speech though, I think a speaker should have more right than a writer to at least be granted some minimum control over what he/she means.
Realistically speaking, both sides are not necessarily incorruptible and I've found that tipping the balance in favor of one or the other can come off as unjust. Excessively favoring the speaker could enable dishonest denial whilst the same treatment towards the listeners enables oversensitivity. | {

SDCC17 'Justice League' Trailer Reveals The Stakes
Jeremy Lebens July 22, 2017 Leave a comment
WB has dropped a massive, nearly five minute trailer on us for their upcoming film Justice League. Up until recently, WB has been struggling with their DC universe, with critical backlash from Man of Steel, followed by downright assault from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and then utter disappointment from Suicide Squad.
Yet Wonder Woman managed to be a beacon of hope for a possible bright future for DC characters across the globe.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is looking like a lighter, action-packed thrill ride, featuring more comedy than most of the DC films before it, plus a distinctive visual look that brings out a lot of life and color.
We've also got a better look at the villain of the film, which seems to be out of this world and unlike anything any of the League'rs have seen before.
Is that Superman teased at the end of the trailer?

Perth Redbacks, SBL, WSBL News
Redback Donovan backs her defence against Brown, Magic
BIANCA Donovan is the lone Women's SBL championship winner on the Perth Redbacks squad and she aims to use her defence on Anita Brown to help them overcome the Mandurah Magic twice this weekend to advance to the 2018 Grand Final.
Donovan provided some championship experience from the 2012 triumph at the South West Slammers to the Redbacks when she joined in 2016, but after a tough couple of years they are now within two wins of a first Grand Final appearance since 2001.
There have been plenty of challenging times for the Redbacks since the championship win of 2000 and Grand Final in 2001 in the Women's SBL, but Donovan felt with some fine tuning that they were capable of being a strong team when she arrived in 2016.
It took a tough couple of years, but things have come together in 2018 with the arrival of coach Charles Nix along with Mikayla Pirini, Makailah Dyer and Kayla Standish as they finished in second position and cruised through the Stirling Senators in the quarter finals.
But now they need to win twice this weekend to advance to the Grand Final having lost to the Mandurah Magic at home in Game 1 of the semi finals last Friday night.
Game 2 takes place in Mandurah on Friday night and for Donovan, she is backing her defensive prowess to help limit the influence of Magic star import Anita Brown while the offensive weapons from the Redbacks get the job done at the other end of the floor.
FRIDAY WOMEN'S SBL RECAP – SEMI FINALS WEEK 1
JAKENS CAN'T HELP BUT BE EXCITED OVER REDBACKS REVIVAL
PIRINI FOCUSES ON REDBACKS SUCCESS DESPITE UNCERTAIN FUTURE
DYER ENJOYING LIFE AT REDBACKS AHEAD OF TITLE PUSH
NIX TAKES NEXT STEP AS COACH BUT REDBACKS SUCCESS HIS FOCUS
The Magic are a team that made the Women's SBL Grand Final in 2017 and after their challenges in 2018, they beat the Rockingham Flames in the quarter finals and then won Game 1 of the semi finals over the Redbacks by a solitary point last Friday at Belmont Oasis.
A huge part in the Magic getting up and firing at the right time of the season has been the efforts of remarkable veteran Casey Mihovilovich and then gun scoring import Brown.
Mihovilovich had nine points, eight assists and five rebounds in Game 1 while Brown put up 33 points on 12/20 shooting from the field and 3/5 from downtown.
Donovan prides herself on her defence and whether she's trying to slow Brown or Mihovilovich on Friday night and then she hopes Game 3 on Saturday, she backs herself to get the job done.
"Milo is just someone who is extremely talented and even with pressure she still makes those ridiculously good passes and is so composed under pressure. But if we can get up in her face a little bit and hopefully put the ball in our hands," Donovan said.
"It's definitely about containing her and not letting her dictate to us what she wants to do. Last week she was making great fade away shots with our hands in her face but if we can keep her shots to that we'll be happy. If she's getting to the basket and creating then we can't settle for that.
"I'm not going to get beaten in the middle and try to keep her shooting outside, unbalanced jump shots. My defence is probably where I should focus in the team both on-ball pressure up the court and then when I do get a player like Anita to defend, making sure she doesn't score 30 on us.
"People like that are going to score because they are so talented they can score under pressure, but it's about trying to limit her and my offensive game is not a priority. Definitely defence is a good role I want to take on."
While Game 1 didn't quite go to plan for the Redbacks against Mandurah despite just losing by a point, Donovan is confident they can bounce back and perform significantly better in Game 2 even if is on the road in hostile territory.
"I think we're all feeling pretty excited. Nerves definitely kicked in last week which I think is why we probably didn't start off how we wanted to but we have two big games this weekend and all week we've been preparing for two games," Donovan said.
"As much as we have to get past the first game first, there's two games for us to go this weekend as far as we're concerned so that's exciting.
"We just have to prepare like we would for any normal game and all season that's what we have been doing. The things that went wrong last week came down to what we did, it wasn't like they had an awesome game and blew us away.
"As long as we focus on doing our stuff just like we would on any other day so all the girls' routine stay the same, then we should be OK. Obviously there is that knowledge that it's do-or-die and if we lose, we're out but we have to keep our routines the same and have to prepare for a double-header and think we have two games this weekend."
The Redbacks cruised through the quarter finals with two 20-plus point wins over the Stirling Senators. Donovan doesn't necessarily feel that was ideal preparation for the semi finals and the Magic, but she feels they should be right up to speed now.
"Stirling are a great team but we really weren't challenged as much as we should have been in a quarter-final to prepare us for a semi-final when Mandurah had come back from a scratch and fight where they had to play tough to win to get through," she said.
"They were probably better prepared where we probably had that slightly easier run in which showed in the first quarter and we weren't ready. We respect Mandurah so much and we know that going down there on Friday is going to be just the same, if not worse, with their crowd behind them.
"We know the atmosphere down there is always nice and hectic but we're not shying away from what we want to do. We will just be a lot more ready for it than we were last week."
Donovan couldn't be happier with the way things have gone at the Redbacks in 2018 and it's not just the additions of Dyer, Pirini and Standish under coach Nix, but the players who have remained who are in career-best form in a lot of cases as well.
"It's been an amazing year and even JJ has always been a threat for us, but by having the support of Miky, Mak and Kayla has seen her grow a lot in her position as well. I've never seen Lori play as well as she has this season and she's only getting better with the support of them," Donovan said.
"It's been awesome and the vibe is good. Alix is doing well after we thought she was going to retire and even the girls have more confidence. Last year you wouldn't have got boo out of them, but this year they are all talking and getting amongst it.
"That in itself is something that we take pride in and this season is completely different with the atmosphere changing, the tempo has changed and we do work really hard at trainings. That's something that we haven't done as well in the past."
While nobody at the Redbacks was thinking as far ahead early in the season as a Grand Final, what Nix instilled in the group as coach was that if they did all the right things, that results would take care of themselves.
"Early on in the season we weren't thinking that far ahead, we put certain goals in place and we wanted to beat teams on rebounds, get a certain amount of assists, a certain amount of points and keep teams to a certain number of points," she said.
"Nixy continuously said if we did the right things we would end up where we deserved and throughout the season we proved that we do deserve to be here. But it's not over yet, we still need to finish off the season."
Donovan is the lone championship-winner on the Redbacks team having achieved that with the Slammers in 2012 on top of being part of a team a year later that finished eighth but eliminated the regular season champion Willetton Tigers.
That remains a career highlight for Donovan but it helps her believe what's possible and for her to pass that on to her Redbacks teammates.
"It's definitely a highlight and it does make you realise what's possible. Even the year after we finished eighth on the ladder and knocked out Willo in the first round so that's where I get that belief from but where I also understand you have to respect every player on the court," Donovan said.
"As much as Milo and Anita might be the stars for Mandurah, it's the ninth and 10th player who come on if they have to that could score if you don't respect them. And in Grand Finals anyone can step up so what I learned from those finals experiences was that respecting every player is really important.
"You have to embrace the atmosphere at this time of the year and it's still just as nerve-racking, but at the same time I've never been part of a team like this with the coaching staff backing us 110 per cent. If we follow the process like we have for most of the year, then we are pretty confident to go in and give it a good go."
Donovan saw firsthand what that championship meant to everyone at the Slammers and the local Bunbury community in 2012, and she has no doubt how much success would mean to the Redbacks given the hard times they've been through since last playing in a Women's Grand Final in 2001.
"The main thing is that it's not just a Grand Final to a lot of the girls, it's for the people who have been involved at the club for so many years and never thought they could be in the finals let alone the semis or a Grand Final," Donovan said.
"For us to be serious contenders to win it is just crazy. I think during the season that hit a few of the games at some point that we were actually winning so many games and could win a Grand Final.
"It just comes down to the last few games and even if you don't truly believe, once you are in the finals you are a chance and it doesn't matter where you finish.
"It's about what you do in the finals series and that's why we approach Friday like we did every other game, do what we need to do and then hopefully the result will go our way." | {

💛Necrotising Enterocolitis💛
Image of Charlie's Bowel affected by NEC
Let's Raise Awareness Together...
NEC is a serious disease that can progress very quickly. It is highly important to get treatment right away if your baby is showing signs or symptoms of NEC.Necrotizing Enterocolitis is a rare disease that develops when the tissue in the inner lining of the small and/or large intestine becomes damaged and begins to die. If left untreated quickly a hole may form in the wall of the intestine which can then leak into the abdomen and cause widespread infection. If this was to happen this is then considered a medical emergency were immediate treatment is required. Babies can become sick very quickly with NEC, having seemed well hours before. The image to the left shows just how bad Charlie's Small bowel was affected...
Charlie's Journey
Charlie our NEC survivor, our little miracle boy defied all odds and survived this dreadful disease that takes so many innocent babies' lives.
NEC UK "Necrotizing Enterocolitis is rare in the general population of babies but more common in neonatal units and is diagnosed in 1 in 250 live births. You may be surprised to learn more babies die from NEC than all of childhood Leukaemia"
Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) tour our lives apart on the 28.02.2016 Charlie was just short of 5 weeks old. Everything from this day forward have never been the same again. Not only does the condition change your child's health it completely affects every aspect of theirs/your life and at home including testing the strongest of relationships with family and friends. Charlie was on life-support for the first three weeks on the Intensive Care Unit he was then later moved to our home from home ward D35 at QMC Nottingham where he spent the next 9 months of his amazing journey.
We could not believe that this is more common in premature babies and babies with underlying health conditions relating to the abdominal organs. I strongly believe more awareness could have prevented this from happening or developing as severe as It did for Charlie.
Charlie now lives with Short Bowel Syndrome and to date he has had 5 life saving operations on his small bowel, stoma, stoma reversal, jejunostomy, jejunostomy reversal, including the STEP Procedure to lengthen his bowel. He initially was left with roughly 25cm of Small Bowel and due to the STEP procedure, it was lengthened to 45cm. Charlie has also had four mini operations to replace damaged Central lines and to insert a Gastrostomy button. He is now 15hrs TPN dependent, 12hrs PEG feed overnight via Gastrostomy with Daily Bolus feeds of blended diet.
He also requires a mini cocktail of medications to help with his conditions. Charlie has intestinal failure associated liver disease due to TPN Dependency and the nature of his condition. Since his most recent surgery he is overcoming this and is regularly monitored by weekly blood tests. Charlie suffers with Anaemia due to his condition that means he requires regular Blood Transfusions.
Charlie also has a rare condition call Situs Ambiguus (Heterotaxy of the Abdominal Organs with Polysplenia) This is a congenital condition in which the major visceral organs are reversed or mirrored from their normal position. Charlie's Heart remains in the correct position to the left meaning his condition is even more rear. This itself is a rare condition and requires Charlie to be on a permanent course of antibiotics to reduce the chances of infection and the possibility of his multiple spleens rupturing.
NEC UK "NEC is mostly seen in premature, low birth weight babies and in much fewer instances of babies born at term It's estimated 1 in 10 term babies develop NEC, majority but not all term babies will have underlying problems such as heart conditions and abnormalities of the bowel"
Charlie is still on a rollercoaster of a ride and we experience many highs and lows daily as a family especially with eating and ongoing hospital admissions. Having the amazing support of Family and close friends have helped us tremendously. We have also met some amazing families along Charlie's journey while in hospital and we thank you to for all of your ongoing support, advice and encouragement. Being part of the support groups on Facebook have also supported me and our family more than you would ever know. I may not get the time to update them or check in with people however others questions, advice and tips have helped me as a mother come to terms and cope with Charlie's Conditions.
NEC UK: "NEC is devastating in the both short and long term for families of mixed outcomes NEC is scary, it's very distressing to see a baby go through, NEC has many uncertainties and as families there are questions that can't always be answered. It's not uncommon for families affected by NEC to experience repeated setbacks. Psychologically the impact of NEC cannot be measured"

Pilkington Building Products has launched Eclipse Advantage, a solar control glass said to provide high light transmittance, reduced solar glare and subtle reflectivity. The company says the glass uses a pyrolytic coating to enable it to be cut, toughened, bent or fabricated into insulating glass units using standard manufacturing techniques. The pyrolytic process means the coating is chemically bonded to the glass at molecular level said to produce a harder, durable and stable material. The product is available in six colours including blue, grey, green and bronze and can be supplied in 4, 6 and 8 mm thicknesses.
Ash & Lacy has collaborated with surface treatment technology company Keronite to develop a finish for Ashtech rainscreen cladding said to be resistant to harsh environmental conditions, such as coastal areas. Keronite's process is called Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation and it transforms the soft aluminium substrate surface into a hard ceramic coating that is said to resist corrosion, heat and wear. The manufacturer says the thin ceramic layer is atomically bonded to the aluminium, which prevents problems such as peeling or chipping.
Formica has extended its woodgrain laminate range with the introduction of a surface finish called Naturelle, which has been developed to meet the growing demand for textured finishes. Naturelle's matt appearance is said to resemble that of planed, oiled or wax-treated wood.
Outokumpu, a supplier of copper sheets and strips, has launched a process to provide prepatinated copper sheet that can be cut to any length. The Nordic Green Plus Prepatinated sheet has a green patina said to be similar to that formed over many years of exposure. The factory-prepared and prepatinated coils are available in traditional green or stippled "living green" finishes.
Alsecco, a supplier of architectural facades, has developed a system called Alsecco One-Way to apply render more quickly. Instead of being applied with a hawk and trowel, render is sprayed on from a portable container then levelled out. The company says the spray nozzle stretches to a distance of 50 m from the container and that each container can hold the equivalent of 40 buckets of render. This is said to save time and minimise accident risk on site because workers do not have to constantly climb up and down ladders to replenish their buckets.
Paroc Panel System UK has launched a framing system, designed in collaboration with aluminium window maker Aluman, to work with its structural cladding panels. Called the IFS system, it allows window and door units to be installed on site by being clicked into place onto the fixings, reducing build times. The manufacturer says the units do not require additional flashings or secondary structural support because they are delivered to site complete with integrated profiles.
Technal has supplied architectural aluminium glazing to two buildings at the University of Limerick's campus.
Technal has supplied architectural aluminium glazing to two buildings at the University of Limerick's campus. Designed by Murray O'Laoire Architects, the buildings feature Technal's grid curtain walling along with timber and zinc cladding and glazing, and top-hung casement windows.
Welsh Slate's products have been specified for Swansea's £30m National Waterfront Museum. Architect Wilkinson Eyre selected 195 m2 of heather-blue slate, 125 m2 of heather-red and 248 m2 of dark blue-grey from Welsh Slate's Cwt-y-Bugail quarry in Snowdonia. The slate was installed as a facing material on prefabricated precast concrete panels.
A research paper prepared by the University of Southampton on behalf of the Copper Development Association is said to show that the use of copper could help prevent the spread of flu. The association claims the paper shows that influenza A viruses, which include the bird flu strain, are virtually eradicated within six hours on copper surfaces. The study recommends the use of uncoated copper or high-copper alloys for door knobs and handles, push plates, countertops and sinks, to help minimise cross-contamination.
Ward Insulated Panels has published a 400-page technical handbook on its range of insulated panels for roofs and walls. The manufacturer says the guide includes construction details, technical specifications, performance data, load tables and model specifications. It also covers ancillary products, fasteners and sealants and offers assembly guidance.
SFS intec, a manufacturer of fasteners for roofing and cladding systems, has published a six-page brochure entitled Non-Austenitic Stainless Steel Fasteners. The guide helps specifiers choose the most appropriate grade of fastener material in order to avoid corrosion and maintain the integrity of the building during its lifetime.

Uniglaze 2, a manufacturer of sealed units and toughened glass, has moved into a £12m production facility in East Anglia. The company says it has invested in equipment including three automated computerised toughening plants and five automated sealed unit lines. The move will provide extra space and help the company keep up with orders, as new energy regulations have lengthened the time it takes to produce sealed window units.

George and I got an early start, and the Lord was good. After finding most of the auto stores closed because of the holidays, I remembered that there was a little place that might just be open, and it was. Praise the Lord! I bought two batteries, had them checked and headed back to Love A Child where the truck was. I installed the two new batteries, and guess what? They weren't charged enough to start the truck. Curt, a friend of mine who is my mechanic, was at Love A Child (another praise to our Lord!). We decided to have him try to "pull start" us. When I got in the cab, however, I looked down and saw that the brake pedal was all the way to the floor. I checked the brake fluid and there was none. After fixing this problem, we tried to "pull start" Gabriel, the military truck, and praise the Lord, it cranked right up. We still didn't have any papers for the truck so we decided to leave it there and drive George's truck to Z'Orangé. Because of Hurricane Noel the road was washed out but I knew of one other road that would get us there. It was rough and muddy but the Lord got us there.
We met the Pastor at Z'Orangé, Pastor Dorleon, who had some very sad news for us. The hurricane had caused major flooding in Z'Orangé, resulting in the deaths of 23 people. And over 300 huts (homes) had been completely destroyed. Some people are staying in the church. People have lost loved ones and everything they own except what is on their person. I had some funds with me that we were going to use to help the school there but I told Pastor Dorleon that people are more important than buildings and asked him what would be the best way we could help the people. Food, clothing and some money to help them get back on their feet was the answer. So tomorrow, with what funds we have, we will buy all the beans, rice and oil we can. We are also praying that Love A Child will have some food and clothing that they can give.
Please be praying for the Haitian people here, and that God will show His love and compassion through us. If the Lord puts it on your heart to help, please let us know as soon as possible so I can buy more food while I am here. If you are sending a gift, please call our office at 850-863-1535 and leave a message to let us know the amount so I can purchase the food. If we get our temporary papers for the truck tomorrow, we will start taking supplies up. Please pray for this, also. | {

Ms du Frocq, who works for Vinnies Family Support Centre in Toowoomba, was also named a finalist for the overall Trainee of the Year award.
The 29-year-old former trainee, and now permanent employee of the Family Support Centre, says she is thankful for the opportunity to serve the Toowoomba community.
"I started a Uni course straight after school but didn't complete it due to the sudden loss of my mother, I did meet my husband though and we now have two beautiful children", she says.
Vinnies Toowoomba Family Support Centre Coordinator Vicki Berghofer says Krystal was a deserving recipient of the honour. | {

We booked in at Capture for a newborn photoshoot for our little one. As he was very premature, he was tiny when we went along but Rudie was a star at handling him, putting him in position and getting the most beautiful pictures for us to treasure. We enjoyed the experience so much we decided to book their 'watch me grow' package and get 2 more shoots over the course of his 1st year.
Very good and value for money. Quality and lovely people.
Booked 3 months in advance to get family from across country together, asked for a family photo on a black background and was told "no problem". When Victoria took pics she did them on white, then try to darken background. End result was bizarre, the whole family looked photo shopped! Don't book with them, they tell you what you want to hear, then just do what the want. This was our first 3 generation photo in 31 years, and Capture ruined it. Very very upset.
Lovely people, amazing photos. The whole experience was professional and fun. We had a big family portrait shoot and the results were incredible. Staff and service were excellent.
I have a fashion business and recently visited Capture in wood ford green for a photo shoot.
The staff were so friendly and would go above and beyond to help.
The photo shoot was very successful and the pictures looked amazing.
I would highly recommend this studio! Thank you capture!
Had beautiful photo's taken at Capture, I found the photographers very professional and brilliant at their job. I have used Capture on serval occasion from when my son was born to now ( his 4) and the photographers have always been great at capturing the perfect picture from newborn to toddler to little boy. The studio has a nice friendly feel to it. I would defiantly recommend to anyone wanting photographs taken! And will be booking in soon for Passport Pictures.
Had the watch me grow package and its over priced, didn't mention I had to sign a contract tying me into 3 photo sessions until my first shoot. Package wasn't explained properly but managed to cancel it after first shoot. Out of over 300 pictures taken only had 79 put onto disc, would of like to of choosen which pics I liked instead of the company doing it for me. Session was good and the pics I did get were nice but shame u don't get more for your money as other professional companies do more for less. Also asked for pics to be sent in post but wanted to charge me £10 to send them and it would of cost nomore then £4. Very expensive.
I have been taking my 6 year old daughter to Capture twice a year since she was a newborn. Fantastic photos and a lovely team. I now also have baby twins and the patience and professionalism shown by Vicky, Rudie and the team has been second to none. It is not easy to get three small children feeling relaxed and looking good in the same image but the team at Capture have done a brilliant job. I view photography as art, and well worth it. I would highly recommend Capture, and am already looking forward to our next shoot.
I took my little one to Capture for his newborn photoshoot. He was a little older than usual, due to being in special care for several weeks, meaning he was alert and more of a challenge although still only 5lbs, however Rudie handled him with so much care and professionalism that I was perfectly happy putting him in her hands. The resulting pictures are absolutely beautiful and having booked Capture's 'watch me grow' package I can't wait for our next 2 shoots and to have even more pictures to treasure forever.
Had my watch me grow photoshoot here for my daughter. All staff really friendly and helpful. Photos are amazing, great quality and really enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend!
The fotografer was polite, nice, kind, positive and very motivated.
She also take some photos with my oldest son while I was changing the outfit for the little one and finally with me as well.
Kids were very happy taking photos with her!
Really positive experience at Capture again yesterday, the second in our Watch Me Grow trio of shoots. Sophie managed to get some beautiful images of my son despite his lack of interest in staying still for her. It was such a joy to see them and without all the hard sell to buy that there can be at some places. Really recommend Capture, looking forward to our next visit, thank you!
Had a photoshoot back in October and only just got my photos. The photographer didn't make us feel comfortable and my baby just cried the whole way through, it was also absolutely freezing in the studio, my baby's nose was running. Photographer was really cold and I just wanted to get out!
They never picked up their phones to arrange appointments or follow ups, in the end I got a refund from Groupon as my son grew faster than they were able to respond to a phonecall. Absolutely appauling customer service.
We had a new born photo shoot back in Feb. With an 8 day old and a 2 year old. We couldn't rate the service highly enough. We was made to feel completely comfortable in what could of been a very stressful situation. The photographer was brilliant with both of our children and wasn't fussed when my very head strong 2 year old didn't play ball. The studio was clean, comfortable and lovely and warm for my mostly naked baby.
We had a great afternoon and got some brilliant pictures in return.
Thank you to the capture team! We will definitely be back for some more pictures!
We booked a family photo shoot with capture and was given a fantastic experience. My two girls were made to feel so relaxed and was able to bring out their personalities perfectly. We was able to be silly and be ourselves which reflected in the pictures. The end result was fantastic and I couldn't be more pleased with our photos. The studio is very professional and the photographer so welcoming. Their prices are also very competitive especially for the quality of everything that you get with it. Thank you for a great shoot and pictures.

Q: How can I improve my coin change calculator so that the total is 1.41 instead of 1.4100000000000001? I am working on a change calculator that accepts five arguments(dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies) and calculates the total amount of change. When I put change.py in the command line followed by 1 1 1 1 1 I am supposed to get 1.41 as the total but I am getting 1.4100000000000001 instead.When I put in other numbers it works as it should. Can anyone help with this? Thank you!
enter code here
import sys
def change(dollars,quarters,dimes,nickels,pennies):
dollars = int(float(dollars))
quarters = int(float(quarters))
dimes = int(float(dimes))
nickels = int(float(nickels))
pennies = int(float(pennies))
total = (dollars * 1.00) + (quarters * .25) + (dimes *.10) + (nickels * .05) + (pennies * .01)
return total
round(total)
dollars = sys.argv[1]
quarters = sys.argv[2]
dimes = sys.argv[3]
nickels = sys.argv[4]
pennies = sys.argv[5]
total = change(dollars,quarters,dimes,nickels,pennies)
print('The total value of your change is ',(total))
A: This is called a floating-point error (see this question). A simple solution would be to just round your numbers:
return round(total, 2)

Wendy and Garrett enjoy life. When your hubby is military, you have to make every moment count because they spend a lot of time away protecting us. The military is awesome and those who serve us deserve more than we could ever give. But that's a topic for a different post.
These two had an amazing wedding at the Station in Los Alamos. The Station is one of those places you don't soon forget. With the historic Union hotel next door, this venue gives you rustic charm and garden elegance. It's unique, and nestled in a tiny little town that is quiet, peaceful and private. It's kind of perfect.
Wendy's girlfriend from school was none other than Davia of Davia Lee Designs. An amazing coordinator, she and her team do more than just keep track of the day, they come along side to make sure every detail is remarkable and reflects your style and personality.
My day was filled with surprises, including an unscheduled guest appearance by a certain celebrity … you'll have to look through the gallery to find that face. I always enjoy a live band, and to be honest it's not the norm but Wendy and Garrett pulled out all the stops and had a band and DJ, so our evening was non-stop fun.
I can't say thank you enough for Garrett's service to us and to Wendy's easy-going fun-loving demeanor.
The perfect client, and a most perfect day! | {

Hidden Figures review: "Tremendous and essential"
Posted on February 15, 2017 by Dan Bullock Leave a comment
Hidden Figures is based on the true story of three remarkable African-American women who helped NASA, and America, put their first man into space in 1961. The fact they were black and female in an era of huge change and racial tensions makes their real-life achievements even more incredible. Thankfully the film isn't some throwaway celebration of their talents though; it's a deeply thoughtful, honest and naturally humorous portrayal of their journey to a rightful place at the top.
Although Hidden Figures centres on the lives of all three ladies, their main focus chronicles the life of the gifted mathematician Katherine Johnson, played superbly by Taraji P. Henson. It's not overstated, or untrue, to say her role in the space race was nothing less than critical to its eventual success. Without Johnson, they may have never made it to the moon, let alone get John Glenn's (the astronaut played here by Glen Powell) 'Friendship Mission 7' up there in the first place. The film offers us insight into the walls she had to knock down, alongside a look into her utter genius (and stubbornness) to eventually help make a moment in history. Henson plays the role subtly and with grace, bringing forth both her passion for the math she loves and the truth of her reality to the characters around her. Even though people still were divided, she's very aware this is her time now and she's out there to prove she's strong enough to do an effective job.
Her two friends, and colleagues, were also vital in their individual departments and roles. Octavia Spencer plays Dorothy Vaughan, a supervisor (well, she's fighting to be one) managing the human computers in the basement who were segregated because they were black. She had to fight oppression within NASA and eventually show her worth by sheer determination and that latter word is very relevant to each individual story. Mary Jackson is played with belief and desire by Janelle Monáe, her character wants to be a qualified NASA Engineer, and she's more than on her way to being qualified, but on that journey has to fight to change the law and people's minds.
Kevin Costner portrays Al Harrison, head of the Space Task Group. His role is to eventually bring Johnson into his close circle and he quickly realises she's what they need for success. He also plays a very important role in confronting racism within the workplace. A number of scenes build us up to a scenario where he takes a physical approach to 'breaking down' barriers and it's definitely the first time I've shed a tear at someone pulling down a toilet sign, but it's also an important turning point.
In co-starring roles, Jim Parsons and Kirsten Dunst take on important parts of people struggling to accept the ladies obvious genius, with Katherine and Dorothy respectively, but they very slowly begin to realise their own prejudice isn't weighed down in anything logical and try to change. Man of the moment Mahershala Ali plays a military love interest for Mary, he's flawless as usual and gives gravitas to a smaller role.
Overall, director Theodore Melfi brings forth the era successfully under a beautifully filmed soft palette that allows the three women to shine outside of the somewhat bland, grey nature of NASA. In fact, Johnson's dress sense shows her individuality and makes her stand out in Math-related moments that could easily be un-exciting but instead are offered up with intrigue and understanding.
In troubling times, Hidden Figures is an important reminder of the unquestionable and unwavering right to acceptance whoever you are, whatever colour or creed. It's also an essential and tremendous celebration of these three vital women who are represented with every ounce of the respect they're due, and quite right to.
Hidden Figures is out on Friday 17 February across the UK. Book now at your local Picturehouse, our independent cinema of choice.

In hoping to break from his old self, Jay-Z employs phrasing reminiscent of Paul's epistles.
Jay-Z is 47. 47. The man has been active since 1986 (the year I was born!). In 2003—on what was supposed to be his swan song—he mused, "What more can I say?" Now 14 years and five studio albums later, Jay-Z's 4:44 still has something new to spit. This time: confession.
A lot of time has passed since Jay-Z was a young hustler in Brooklyn's Marcy public housing complex. Clearly fatherhood, marriage, and success have all shifted the way he now sees his past life. 4:44 invites us to take a painful look in the rear-view mirror.
Over the past five years, fatherhood has given Jay-Z new eyes. No longer "solipsistic," as he says on "Caught Their Eyes," he sees that personal sins will have lasting consequences for his family. Subdued with regret on the title track, which serves as his apology to Beyoncé for his infidelity, Jay-Z winces, "And if my children knew / I don't even know what I would do … my heart breaks for the day I have to explain my mistakes." In painful retrospect, he sees now that no fleeting pleasure is worth losing your family.
The execution-style break Jay-Z hopes to make with his old self is reminiscent of the language in Paul's epistles.
Of course, our culture has a habit of celebrating confession for confession's sake. Authenticity is the great virtue of our moment. Still, I appreciate the way Jay-Z invites us to fully loath elements of his past. He doesn't sugarcoat it. He doesn't seek affirmation or approval. In fact, the execution-style break he hopes to make with his old self is more than reminiscent of language found in Paul's epistles, where the apostle urges us to "put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature." What's more, Jay-Z reminds us that marriages and families stick together not because they are perfect, but because they are forgiving.
While 4:44 is written with sensitivity to interpersonal relationships, it doesn't quite capture the full nature of biblical confession. Christian confession is a two-sided coin: telling the truth about ourselves and telling the truth about God. If 4:44 doesn't evoke the latter element, it still bears witness to the common sense of conviction that lies within each of us. In Romans, Paul observed that the Gentiles "show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness…" 4:44 is further evidence of that. | {

I just noticed this is the 201st blog post on ThinkMac, I didn't realise I'd written quite that many as I don't update this space that often. Anyway down to business, NewsLife 1.2 is here with a long list of fixes and updates. A lot of little wrinkles and rough edges have been ironed out. Give it a spin, I think it's the nicest RSS reader on the Mac and it's still in active development.
I know it's been quite some time since iKanji was first promised but it's still under development and I'm hoping to have it ready for around the end of July/early August. I've created a little video that demos one of neatest features in iKanji and that is creating your own stroke animations. iKanji (like iKana) is totally geared up to letting you learn at your own pace, which means you'll want to make your own kanji flash cards. Being able to make your own stroke animations therefore is pretty darned useful. One of the test modules in iKanji will make devilish use of this showing you multiple versions of an animation and making you choose the one with the correct drawing order!
Hope you like it, I've made a few further adjustments since this video was made. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can reveal some screenshots of iKanji. | {

Alexandra Bee Blog: Meal Planning...with the Sprializer!
Did you shop Lilly for Target?
My weekend was wonderful and quite relaxing! I did not get up to brave the crowds and madness at Target on Sunday...the bed just felt too good! I am hoping to pop in some over the next few days and maybe score some returned items.
If you remember from this post, I mentioned that we got this spiralizer (still on sale!) a few weeks ago.
Since purchasing it, I have made zoodles twice and also sweet potato curly fries! I can say that I am 100% satisfied with the purchase and have been amazed by how easy the spiralizer is to use. In just minutes, you can prep a delicious and nutritious meal. Now that I've had a little practice, I am looking forward to using it in some more recipes and thought I would share some of my finds with you today!
Molly, mentioned I should check out Inspiralized and it is an amazing resource. You can search recipes by vegetable, category, protein, or diet and she even has recipes for using the spiralizer when making desserts and cocktails! The next 3 recipes are all from a quick skim of her site! I am going to have to spend some serious time looking through each and every recipe!
And finally, I wanted to be sure to share this chart (also from Inspiralized!) that I have found to be really helpful!
Do you have a spiralizer?
How do you incorporate more veggies (and less carbs) into your diet?
I recently added a spiralizer to our registry! Can't wait to use it.
Yum! These all look super delicious! Now I have even more recipes that I need to try out!!
Love ours too! I use it to cut up cucumbers and then add the ingredients for Greek salad (tomatoes, feta, olives & homemade dressing) on top. Delicious!
That chart is phenomenal! I have a whole cookbook for spiralizers that I need to dig into. I love the idea of the carrot pasta!
So glad you like it!!! I use mine at least 2 times a week. So far I have only made hot food, need to start using it for salads. I saw a caprese salad using zucchini I think will def try that one soon.
I definitely need to get one of these.. I've been thinking about it and this post has really put the cherry on top! Those recipes look amazing, thanks for sharing and can't wait to see your endeavors!
All of these look SO yummy!
Now I want one of these! The noodles look amazing!! | {

DIS-TRAN Steel's Quality Engineering Practices Ensure Towers Are Built to Last
By DIS-TRAN Steel on August 23 2016
substation structures transmission poles Engineering
On Dec. 14, 2009, the failure of a broadcast tower in Tulsa, Oklahoma had engineers scratching their heads. The chief engineer said when the guy wire was tested a few months earlier "everything seemed fine."
Remarkably, 31% of all substation tower failures occur because of the construction crew's poor judgment or a lack of basic engineering know-how, according to a recent Consolidated Engineering Inc. (CEI) report. Engineering oversights can cause a significant risk to the integrity of a tower and its foundation, which can ultimately lead to collapse.
DIS-TRAN Steel has built its company on simple values backed by honest customer relationships. Since 1965, customers have put their trust in us to deliver products – from simple substation structures to complex transmission poles – that are made using the best manufacturing process and the highest-quality engineering in the industry.
We offer the kind of security that comes from knowing exactly who is designing and fabricating your structures and how.
Unfortunately, some standards aren't consistent across the industry. The CEI report found the top five causes of tower failure are caused by construction errors, ice, aircraft, special winds and anchor failure. The Tulsa tower's failure was attributed to the latter two factors.
A CEI forensic specialist found in every wind induced tower failure he investigated, the tower wouldn't have passed the current design code. It is important to design, manufacture and erect per current design codes to minimize the risk of poor structure integrity. Quality issues are not only costly, but dangerous as well.
So how can you ensure you're working with the right manufacturer?
Look for solid investments in the latest equipment and technology
Attention to best practices and quality assurance
A focus on hiring the most experienced engineers
A commitment to top-notch customer service.
So what has DIS-TRAN Steel done?
Doubled its manufacturing capacity and capabilities at its 300,000-square-foot, state-of-the art facility in Pineville, Louisiana
Employ the latest fabricating innovations and rely on real-time scheduling and product tracking to ensure projects never fall behind

We are certified by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and American Welding Society (AWS) and adhere to a strict quality standard. All of our welds are performed by certified welders and inspected by certified inspectors.
Our engineering department is highly skilled at combining computer-aided design and drafting with numerical control fabricating systems to create the most efficient structures
