More than 60 Pacific-based medical airmen practiced erecting and running a newly improved mobile tent hospital during a four-day exercise at Andersen AFB, Guam. “They were enthusiastic about learning the new equipment and process . . . and gave us feedback that we can carry back to make the new system even better,” said Maj. Ryan Gabel, Air Combat Command instructor from JB Langley-Eustis, Va., in Andersen’s Dec. 14, release. ACC and Pacific Air Forces trainers taught these airmen, who are members of Expeditionary Medical Support-Health Response Teams from Andersen; JB Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; and Yokota AB, Japan, how to deploy the new facility during the Dec. 10-13 gathering. “The new tents are lighter, and one tent can be completely built with electricity in about 30 minutes,” said Gabel. Now, even the emergency room can be “up and running within two hours,” he added. The teams are able to deploy to disaster zones anywhere in the world and provide most aspects of emergency medical care, including surgery and trauma, states the release. (Andersen report by SrA. Benjamin Wiseman)
The Air Force overall reduced its size by 120 aircraft in fiscal year 2021, but kept about the same number of fighter, bomber and attack aircraft, according to data supplied by the service. The F-35 fleet saw the biggest increase while the B-1B bomber fleet saw the largest decline.

The Benefits of Grooming Your Pet
Grooming is not just about maintaining your pets level of cleanliness, and it is not just about keeping your pet good looking. Grooming is about maintaining both your pet’s physical health as well as their appearance.
This is especially important for long-haired pets, which require more intense grooming sessions as compared to short-haired pets. It takes more time to brush their long fur and they need to get used to staying still for this starting at an early age. That is not to say pets with short, clipped fur do not require grooming.
Brushing is extremely beneficial for all kinds of animals no matter what breed they are, helping to remove dead hair, dirt, and dandruff. Regular brushing also helps to bring out the natural oils in the fur. As you brush, the natural oils are spread all over the fur giving the coat a healthy sheen.
You can begin grooming your pet as young as three weeks old. Experienced breeders will even begin acquainting their pets with grooming before they go to their new homes so that by the time they are picked up by their owners, they are already used to it.
Another benefit of grooming is that it allows you to check your pet for any abnormalities. This includes skin problems such as ticks, fleas and dry patches, or issues with their nails, teeth, ears, and eyes such as infection or inflammation. When found at an early stage, these problems can be treated right away, before they have a chance to become more serious.
Simply put, grooming helps keep your pet stay happy and healthy while helping you save on veterinary bills. So don’t delay, start grooming your pet early.
Prior to a grooming visit, you must complete a Grooming Waiver and provide us with up-to-date vaccination records. We require all dogs left with us for grooming services show proof of the following current vaccinations: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella (Canine Cough) and Fecal.
As a courtesy, we request 48-hour notification for cancellation so that we may reschedule without charging for missed appointments.
The Salon & Spa at The Regal Beagle is second to none, offering a wide variety of specialty services for your pet. Give your animal the care and attention they deserve by taking advantage of The Regal Beagle facility and the convenience and quality of our dog and cat grooming services —
Please inquire to discuss pricing and spa treatments available.

LONDON — One way to measure the immense distance traveled by Arabs over the past month is to note the one big subject they are not talking about: Israel.
For too long, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the great diversion, exploited by feckless Arab autocrats to distract impoverished populations. None of these Arab leaders ever bothered to visit the West Bank. That did not stop them embracing the justice of the Palestinian cause even as they trampled on justice at home.
Now, Arabs are thinking about their own injustices. With great courage, they are saying “Enough!”
The big shift is in the captive Arab mind. It is an immense journey from a culture of victimhood to one of self-empowerment, from a culture of conspiracy to one of construction. It is a long road from rage to responsibility, from humiliation to action.Continue reading the main story
The Muslim suicide bomber aims fury at a perceived outside enemy. Self-immolation, the spark to this great pan-Arab uprising, betrays similar desperation, but directed inward. The outer scapegoat is replaced as the target by the inner Arab culprit.
Change won’t come overnight, and won’t be without pain, but Arabs have embarked on it — and the United States must support them without equivocation. Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, is finished: It is only a matter of time. No wonder the Obama administration is calling for an “orderly transition.”
Sure, there is risk. There always is in change. But nothing in the Arab genome says democracy, liberty and plain decency are unattainable.
Remember, Mohamed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 attack, came from Hosni Mubarak’s Egypt. The vast majority of Atta’s henchmen came from another U.S.-backed Arab autocracy, Saudi Arabia. They did not come from Iran. They did not come from Lebanon — or Gaza.
President George W. Bush was right in 2003: “As long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export.” And Condoleezza Rice was right to note that the U.S. promotion of “stability” — read autocracy — had allowed “a very malignant, meaning cancerous, form of extremism to grow up underneath.”
Bush and Rice were also, however, the authors of the Iraq invasion. This destroyed their credibility on Arab liberation. Their Middle East democracy agenda went nowhere. But, self-generated, it remains the right goal.
A 2008 study by West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center found that 60 percent of Al Qaeda in Iraq fighters were of Saudi or Libyan origin: the handiwork of those alibi-seeking Arab despots again.
I spoke of risk. Egypt is not Tunisia, it’s the epicenter of the Arab world, self-styled “mother of the world,” a supporter of U.S. interests, a big nation that has made a cold peace with Israel. The direction it now takes will be pivotal to the region.
The arguments of those who say, “Better the devil you know” are already clear. Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel-prize-winning Egyptian opposition leader, has immense stature but no organization. The Muslim Brotherhood, Islamist Israel haters, will fill any void. Look at what Arab democracy brings: Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and chaos in Iraq! You want that in Egyptian guise?
These arguments are facile, as Tunisia, with its very un-Islamic revolution, has just demonstrated, and Turkish democracy shows, and Egyptian restraint suggests. They only perpetuate Middle Eastern dysfunction. They ignore America’s sway over Egypt’s Army as a critical moderating force — and ElBaradei’s rapid emergence as unifier.
Yes, Iraqi democracy is messy, but will prove healthier than Saddam Hussein’s tyranny. A Hezbollah-backed prime minister just came to power in Lebanon, but through a constitutional process — and life goes on. The Palestinian stab at democracy has proved divisive but also produced in the West Bank precisely the move from a culture of victimhood and paralysis that other Arabs are now following.
Indeed, with its fast-growing economy and institution-building the West Bank is an example to the dawning Arab world — and would be more so if Israel helped rather than blocked and hindered.
Nothing good can get built on the false foundation of Arab absolutism with its decades of waste: That’s the irrefutable argument for change.
Images of Cairo 2011 plunge me back to Tehran 2009, when another repressive Muslim — but not Arab — nation stood on a razor’s edge. Henry Precht, an author and former U.S. diplomat, has pointed out some differences: 40 percent of Egyptians make less than $2 a day while such poverty is less widespread in Iran; Iranian women are far more present in universities; literacy is higher in Iran, the fertility rate lower. As Precht writes, “Iranian politics, though badly flawed, offers more elements of democracy than Egypt’s.”
These are perhaps some indices of why the Islamic Republic proved more resilient than Mubarak’s Egypt seems today. Still, Iran’s paranoid rulers will shudder at Egyptian people power.
A representative Egyptian government — the one whose birth pangs I believe we are witnessing — will talk about Israel one day and may be less pliant to America’s will. But it would carry a vital message for Arabs and Jews: Victimhood is self-defeating and paralyzing — and can be overcome.

CD123 and CD2AP Immunohistochemical Staining Shows Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Are Present in All Reactive Lymph Nodes but Their Numbers and Growth Pattern Vary Based on Pathologic Diagnosis
MA Rollins-Raval, SH Swerdlow, T Marafioti, CF Garcia. University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA; John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom
Background: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are known to be prominent in certain reactive conditions, including hyaline vascular variant Castleman disease (HVCD) and Kikiuchi lymphadenitis (KL), but their number and distribution in other reactive settings have not been extensively studied, especially using immunohistochemistry (IHC). pDCs can now be identified using CD123 and the newer more specific CD2AP IHC stains.
Design: IHC stains for CD123 and CD2AP were performed on reactive lymph nodes with HVCD(6), KL(1), autoimmune disease(7), sarcoidosis(3), granulomatous infections(7), viral infections (CMV, HIV, HCV) (8),cases consistent with toxoplasmosis (c/wT)(5) and dermatopathic lymphadenopathy (DL)(4).Cases were scored independently by 3 pathologists for the overall number of pDCs (1-4+) & pDC growth patterns: tight aggregates (TA),loose aggregates/cohesive clusters (LA/C) and scattered single cells (SSC)(0-4+).Discrepancies of ≤1 were averaged and others resolved by consensus.
Results: There is strong correlation between CD123 and CD2AP IHC for overall number of pDCs (r=0.92) & for TA, LA/C & SSC (r=0.87, 0.88 and 0.69, respectively). Results for CD123 and CD2AP were then averaged for further analyses. PDCs were present in all reactive conditions, being least numerous overall in DL, c/wT & viral infections.TA of pDCs were most frequently seen in HVCD (p<0.001,except DL and KL) followed by DL. pDCs were also prominent at the periphery of granulomas.
Conclusions: CD2AP correlates well with CD123 in evaluating pDCs in lymph nodes. PDCs are present in essentially all reactive lymph nodes; however, many are distributed in loose aggregates, clusters and singly, so they are not readily apparent in routine sections. PDC number and distribution vary based on the type of reactive lymph node with tight aggregates most commonly seen in hyaline vascular variant Castleman disease but with prominent pDCs also seen in other reactive settings.

This is rad (the song):
You can download the mp3 at The Burning Ear.
I spent much of my evening finishing off a cat bed, made out of some faux fur and fleece remnants scored cheap at the fabric store. It is stuffed with the Brit's old socks, which is sure to please him inordinately when he returns from sunny California. I'll take pictures of the bed in daylight--there is a cat curled up in it even now, so it looks like it wasn't a wasted project.
Look, just get used to the fact that I'm going to blog about cats a lot. When you go from having one (hilarious) old sedentary beastie to also having a young, full-of-beans slinkster that races up and down the stairs and carries small household objects around in her mouth, it suddenly seems like there are cats everywhere. And they are very good company. There's a large, beefy, satisfying one on me even now.
Other projects: I'm in the middle of making a basic shirt following a Burda pattern (Lydia, if you are interested). Making something from a pattern has been on my to-do list for ages. I definitely f-ed up the cutting out, probably because I didn't iron the fabric first (it's cheap garage sale sweatshirt fleece and this is a trial run), but I am determined to salvage the project anyway (and then not wear it). I'll finish this weekend, which is incidentally a 3-day one, which hallelujah.
I'm having a hard time at work lately, which is not something I like to go on about--like, at all--because to me it just reeks of privilege. I have a good job situation and lots of people do not, for one thing, and secondly I realize that even being able to contemplate such a thing as finding and following one's vocation (and making it pay) is a real luxury. Nevertheless, here I am, doing something that my heart just isn't in and it's taking a toll on my first world, highly-educated, middle class ass. I wonder if I would feel better or worse if I didn't have any idea of what I would like to be doing instead, but I know that I want to be teaching. I suppose the answer is to be more proactive about pursuing teaching opportunities, even if they aren't the ideal situations, with the ultimate goal of getting away from work that I don't care about.
But more about all that later. The big cat is licking my dinner dishes.

Another in our occasional series aimed at helping you rationalise your cupboards…
Orange blossom water is actually the distilled blossom of sour oranges. Which always strikes us as being really odd. You know, the fact that something with such a sweet smell can come from something which offers its culinary antithesis. Wonderful thing, nature, eh?
Please note: orange blossom needs to be used VERY VERY SPARINGLY. Got that? It can kill a recipe at twenty paces. A little goes a very long way indeed. This is not to say it is a bad thing – it is wonderful, but potent.
Our guess is that you originally bought your bottle of orange blossom water to make a cake or some syrup, as this is the most common usage of the stuff. It creeps into a myriad Middle Eastern confections: paklava, ma’amoul, faloodeh (sorbet)… Anyway, don’t lob it in the bin with the rest of Aunt Mildred’s dodgy chutney and that mouldy chilli paste you bought back from Marrakech. Orange blossom water is useful for all sorts of other things. Here’s our top 10:
- Put a few drops in your iron and you’ll come out smelling of blossom time and again;
- Use it as a facial toner: it is mildly astringent and perfect for sensitive skin;
- Add a few drops to ice cubes to pep up anything from a glass of tap water to a Pimms;
- Add a splash to your cocktails: it works really well with gin. Try the Persepolis Bahar Special: gin, grenadine, orange flower water, a dash of tamarind, splodge of lemon, top up with pomegranate juice… Don’t forget the paper umbrella.
- Add a dash to smoothies: great with any fruit/yoghurt combo;
- Whisk just a hint of the stuff into salad dressings – it will keep your guests guessing;
- Sprinkle over fruit salad (along with some cinnamon) to add a new slant to an old classic;
- Add just 1/3 teaspoon to a mug of hot chocolate to increase its happy quotient;
- Pop a few drops in a bowl of water and leave it near a radiator (unless you are posh enough already to have a humidifier) to scent the air;
- Mix with brown sauce, balsamic vinegar, onion, ginger and sesame oil for an ace marinade for practically anything.
And there you have it. Rather than being stuck with the stuff you’ll be rushing out to buy another bottle before you know it.

Following bomb threat: Flight from Germany to Mexico makes emergency landing
A Lufthansa Airlines flight en route from Frankfurt, Germany to Mexico City made an emergency landing at O'Hare International Airport after officials received a bomb threat.
The Boeing 747-400 airplane had 392 passengers and 19 crewmembers aboard when it landed at around 16:20 (local time) on Saturday, according to Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Monique Bond said.
Bond stated, "This is standard operating procedure. There were no injuries, the aircraft landed safely", and added, "The aircraft is going to be searched. This happens."
The passengers were expected to spend the night in Chicago and resume their flight Sunday morning, Lufthansa spokesman Tom Tripp said. (Albawaba.com)

Recently, many people complained that after upgrading to macOS Mojave, they lost important files on startup disk/Macintosh HD/Apple SSD. If you have the similar trouble, please keep calm and read ahead. With the help of macOS Mojave data recovery software, it's so easy to recover data from macOS Mojave startup disk.
Things you need to know before data recovery from macOS Mojave startup disk
Starting from macOS High Sierra, all the later operating systems don't allow any application to access to the startup disk. If you want to recover lost data from startup disk on macOS Mojave, you have to disable SIP at first. SIP (System Integrity Protection) is a security feature, which prevents data recovery software from scanning the startup disk.
How to recover lost files from macOS Mojave startup disk?
iBoysoft Mac Data Recovery is the best data recovery for macOS Mojave that supports to recover lost files from APFS startup disk and APFS external drive. It works well in different data loss scenarios, which can recover lost data from encrypted, formatted, unmountable, unreadable, inaccessible APFS drive, recover data from deleted/lost APFS partition.
Apart from APFS data recovery, iBoysoft Mac Data Recovery also supports HFS, HFS+, exFAT, FAT32. It allows us to recover documents, pictures, audios, videos, emails from hard drive, external hard drive, USB flash drive, SD card, memory card, pen drive, digital camera, etc. on macOS Mojave 10.14/High Sierra 10.13/Sierra 10.12/10.11/10.10/10.9/10.8/10.7.

There is a long road ahead—that much is certain.
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to create 90,000 new units of affordable housing and preserve an additional 110,000 units over the next 10 years will require the support of not only Albany and Washington, D.C., but also many of the real estate industry’s key players in addition to city resources.
Several New York-based lenders, developers and housing experts Mortgage Observer talked to over the month of January voiced concerns about the potential hurdles the de Blasio administration faces from a financing and policy perspective. Among those concerns are available sources of subsidy capital, accessible land and the ability to process such a goal in time.
“If you look at the toolbox for affordable housing, it includes HOME and CDBG from HUD, both of which have been cut in recent years,” said Rick Lazio, partner and head of Jones Walker’s affordable housing and housing finance practice, referring to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and the Community Development Block Grant Program. “I would anticipate they would face continued reduction for the next several years.
“Then there is the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, which is an incredibly useful tool but is basically capped,” added Mr. Lazio, a former U.S. representative and Senate candidate for the Republican Party in New York. “That is going to be under pressure as well with more of those tax credits being used for public housing conversion purposes.” He also noted “considerable fiscal pressures” on the state government coinciding with shrinking federal resources and limited tax credits.
The LIHTC Program, which was created under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, has become the primary source of equity for low-income deals. The federal tax credit program now accounts for about 90 percent of all affordable housing development in the U.S., government data shows. New York State signed its own low-income tax credit program into law in 2000.
Under the Bloomberg administration, which set out to create and preserve 165,000 units of affordable housing in New York over a 10-year span ending in 2013, low-income housing tax credits played a fundamental role. During the early years of the financial crisis industry, trade groups cited a drop in the price of those tax credits as a contributing factor to a delay in the former mayor’s plan. That plan is now 97 percent complete and on track to meet its target by June 2014, according to a Bloomberg press release from Dec. 21, 2013.
“[The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit] is and will continue to be the mainstay for affordable housing,” said Keith Rosenthal, the president of Phoenix Realty Group, a New York-based real estate firm that acquires, develops and upgrades affordable and market-rate housing around the country. “The real question in New York, where you typically need multiple layers of subsidy layering to make the deals work, is: Where will the additional financing come from?”
Bringing in additional equity presents a challenge for affordable housing developers, due to the required allocation of tax credits to any ancillary investors, Mr. Rosenthal, the former president of Lehman Brothers subsidiary Lehman Housing Capital, said. The majority of those developers need to rely on debt from public and private lending sources to cover the remainder of their costs. At the same time, “there has been a limitation on the resources of the state and the city to provide subsidy,” he noted.
In November 2012, Phoenix Realty Group and partner New Era GP obtained a round of financing to acquire and upgrade the affordable housing property Willoughby Court Apartments located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The financing included $23 million of New York State HFA bonds, a $2.5 million loan from the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development and $17 million of equity from an institutional investor. That investor is due to receive federal and state tax credits on a 10-year schedule. The new owners acquired the 267-unit, three-building property for $19 million and expect the total project to cost $53 million.
Mayor de Blasio’s affordable housing plan, which has not yet been fully outlined, calls for the creation of 50,000 units by requiring developers to build apartments for low- and middle-income families when developing residential projects in neighborhoods rezoned for higher density. The mayor has also said he wants to use $1 billion of the city’s $144 billion in pension funds to preserve 11,000 units over eight years.
One high-level executive in New York City’s affordable housing market said on background that some of the tools Mr. de Blasio talked about during his campaign were hard to swallow.
“Pension fund money is not going to become a huge source of subsidy capital,” that person said, adding that the mayor’s plans to implement mandatory inclusionary zoning is unlikely to produce a significant number of new units of affordable housing.
“One of the most important things that can happen would be for the mayor to continue to shift the balance of financing affordable housing away from public sources and toward private sources,” this person said. “This administration might also be more inclined to do a better job of utilizing available property that NYCHA owns than the last administration.”
Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development Alicia Glen told Mortgage Observer by email that “too many people and families are facing an affordability crisis in New York City” and that rising housing costs are a fundamental cause. “Mayor de Blasio’s approach is to use every tool in the toolkit to ensure more affordable housing is produced for New Yorkers, including leveraging the private sector and private capital and a thorough review of what land is available for development,” she said.
Todd Gomez, a senior vice president at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and the bank’s Northeast regional market executive for community development banking, said that Mr. de Blasio’s plan creates an opportunity for banks and other private lenders. Under the mayor’s plan, he predicted they’d be able to play a bigger part in financing affordable housing development and preservation.
In 2013, the Charlotte, N.C.-based banking giant provided debt and equity financing for more than 1,000 units of affordable and mixed-income housing in the city. Those projects included 87 units of housing in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, for residents earning less than 60 percent of the area median income and 115 units of housing for a project in Norwood, Bronx, with half of the units for residents who are mentally disabled. Bank of America also served as the co-lead on financing for 619 units of affordable work force housing at Hunters Point South in Long Island City, Queens.
“As historically has been the case, the financing is going to be a combination of capital that comes in as subsidy, tax-credit equity, tax-exempt financing and private credit from lenders like Bank of America,” Mr. Gomez said. “I don’t think the stack is going to change, but the amount of each component within the stack may change.”
The other top affordable housing lenders in New York’s banking arena—Citigroup, Wells Fargo and J.P. Morgan—declined to comment for this story, citing the uncertainties of Mr. de Blasio’s plan and sensitivities between the industry and the mayor’s office. Mr. Gomez, who called affordable housing development an “obligation to serve those who need it, who work in the city and who are an important part of our overall economy,” also noted the potential challenges, referring to New York City as an area with little low-hanging fruit.
“We’re in a different place than we were when Ed Koch started his plan or Michael Bloomberg started his plan,” he said. “Fortunately, for our economy here in the city, there aren’t a lot of empty buildings and tax lots left over. There’s a lot of competition for land in this market, which can make it more challenging and expensive to develop affordable housing.”
Designating more land and resources for affordable housing could in turn push up costs for luxury tenants and luxury developers, Mr. Lazio said. “The consequence of all this is that it will likely become more expensive to build luxury rentals in Manhattan and developers will be under more pressure to help finance affordable housing throughout the boroughs,” he said. “If there are fewer upmarket deals because of the additional costs imposed on developers, then the lenders who service them will also be affected by that. Lenders will write less lucrative business.”
Whether an uptick in affordable housing means a potential decrease in new luxury rental and condominium developments remains to be seen. Luxury condo developer Steve Witkoff, for one, told Mortgage Observer that he was in favor of Mayor de Blasio’s plan and not at all phased by more city land and resources being committed to affordable housing development.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily a binary decision—that one unit of affordable is somehow going to leave a unit of luxury out of the marketplace,” said Bank of America’s Mr. Gomez. “There are going to be opportunities to develop luxury residences to keep up with the demand for that here in the city.”
New York-based Greystone’s managing director and head of its affordable housing group, Jeff Englund, noted that one of the most effective means of affordable housing creation is the development of 80/20 properties. “That’s a direct result of the cost of land, construction costs and rents,” Mr. Englund said.
In December 2013, Greystone partnered with Bank of America to provide a $78 million HFA loan for a planned 80/20 residential building at 149 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The borrower, L+M Development Partners, acquired the 40,000-square-foot warehouse property in July 2012 for just under $20 million and entered into a joint venture with the landowner to develop the seven-story building. Construction on the new property, which will contain 164 residential units and ground-level retail space, is set to begin in the spring of 2014 and end in the beginning of 2016.
While 80/20 developments in New York have grown in popularity in recent years, Mayor de Blasio’s pledge to make inclusionary zoning mandatory for developers has raised eyebrows among the city’s real estate community. Under the Bloomberg administration, nearly 40 percent of the city’s land mass was rezoned to allow for large-scale projects in all of the boroughs. That plan largely focused on neighborhoods with dense industrial pockets such as Williamsburg, neighboring Bushwick and Long Island City. The amount of land that can be rezoned for greater density going forward is unclear, while developers are unsure of how an effective trade-off would occur.
“The only thing we know right now is that, if you want upzoning for your project, which means you have to go to the City Council, you would be expected to have to make a trade to create some affordable housing units,” Mr. Rosenthal, of Phoenix Realty Group, said. “I don’t think anyone knows what that trade is. Do you have to do it off-site? Do you have to do it on the same site?”
One other potential hurdle the de Blasio administration faces is red tape, Mr. Rosenthal noted as he cited federal and state concerns over subsidy layering review to make sure a developer doesn’t take in too much money. “The new administration will need to figure out a system to expedite the processing in order to get to 90,000 new units,” he said, adding that successfully implementing such a plan will involve a combination of profit and velocity.
Deputy Mayor Glen said the administration is “working to implement a comprehensive housing plan,” which includes “rezonings, changes in tax policy, making better deals with developers and exploring options for pension investment.”
In order to complete that process, the city’s new government will need to finish assigning its key administrators, Messrs. Lazio, Gomez and Rosenthal said. Three weeks into his term, as of Jan. 23, the mayor has yet to designate a Department of City Planning director to replace Amanda Burden, while the New York City Housing Authority is also short a permanent leader. John Rhea, NYCHA’s former chairman, announced his resignation on Dec. 30.
“Mayor de Blasio has a good housing background from his days at HUD, and I think he generally understands the issues,” Mr. Gomez said. “The industry is waiting to see who will lead HPD, HDC and NYCHA, but I think most feel very encouraged that there is a plan and that, so far, administrators with strong affordable housing experience have been selected to lead that plan.”
The de Blasio administration, which inherited a balanced budget of $72.7 billion for fiscal year 2015, has not yet indicated the extent of city resources, state and federal funding and private debt and equity sources needed to meet the mayor’s goal.
“They’ve got tools in the toolbox,” Mr. Lazio said. “The big question will be: Can the de Blasio administration get to scale? His goal is a very bold, ambitious number, and he’s going to have do this with singles and doubles, not with triples and home runs.“

World War II history buffs should set aside a good part of Monday for some light reading.
Maybe some of Tuesday. In fact, don’t make any plans the rest of the month.
The “Gray Book,” a collection of communications from Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz that range from the Pearl Harbor attack to the days before Japan’s surrender, has been digitized and will be unveiled Monday as part of a live web program on the Navy’s official blog. The document — brittle from long-term storage and classified until 1972 — had been scanned previously, but better, searchable scans will offer easier access to the 4,000-page Pacific Theater saga, the Navy said in a Thursday news release.
The book, named for its original gray cover, has daily entries from Nimitz’ perspective for the duration of the war. Its pages “clearly reveal what Nimitz thought was important, which gives the reader a great deal of insight into how his experiences both operationally and at the Naval War College informed and influenced his prosecution of the war,” Capt. Jerry Hendrix, director of Naval History and Heritage Command, said in the release.
The war college’s library began the digitization effort, with NHHC’s guidance, in August 2012. Monday’s big reveal, which will include an online Q-and-A session with World War II history experts, also marks Nimitz’ 129th birthday. It’s set to start at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.

Boeing takes 'good step' with CEO ouster, but recovery could be years away: analysts
Boeing's board of directors forced out Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg
Ousting Boeing's chief executive officer was just one of the steps the beleaguered American manufacturer had to take as it continues to deal with the fallout of the 737 Max aircraft crisis, analysts said.
But industry observers say it could be years before the company starts to significantly recover financially.
"I think it's a good first step," said Paul Argenti, a professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. "I think it is a very long term process ... to try to dig its way out of its hole."
On Monday, Boeing's board of directors forced out chief executive officer Dennis Muilenburg, saying they needed to restore confidence in the company as it works to repair relationships with regulators and stakeholders following two deadly crashes.
"They should have gotten rid of the CEO when it was really clear that management was not as adept at dealing with the crisis as they should have been," Argenti said.
737 Max grounded in March
The company has announced that in January it will suspend production of the 737 Max, which was grounded worldwide back in March after the second of two crashes that killed a combined total of 346 people.
Investigators said that in both crashes a faulty sensor caused the aircraft's MCAS system to push the nose of the plane down and pilots were unable to regain control.
Some have criticized Muilenburg's leadership after the disasters, blaming Boeing for allowing the 737 Max to stay in service after the first crash.
"Getting rid of [the CEO] is a good way of saying, 'OK, we get it. We need to have new leadership and move in a different direction,'" Argenti said.
"But you're looking at five to 10 years of misery. Maybe in a couple of years things will start to look better, but it's really five years before financially you start to get back."
Boeing faces financial pressures as it continues to produce 737 Max jets at a rate of 42 per month and purchase parts from suppliers at up to 52 units per month, even though deliveries are frozen until regulators approve the aircraft to fly commercially again.
Last Friday, more problems hit the company as Boeing's new Starliner space capsule went off course on a planned trip to the International Space Station, heading into the wrong orbit due to a timing error.
Meanwhile, the firm's stock price has fallen more than 20 per cent over the past nine months, erasing billions in market capitalization; orders for planes are down; and for its third quarter, Boeing reported a 53 per cent drop in quarterly profit.
Changing the CEO following crises is certainly a way to signal to shareholders, stakeholders and customers that the company is taking the issues seriously, said Tim Hubbard, an assistant professor of management and organization at the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame.
Studies show that chief executive officers typically account for about 20 per cent of the variance in a firm's performance, he said.
Changing the culture of a corporation can take approximately five years or so, and removing the CEO is one of those "big events in which the company can actually change the trajectory in a faster way," Hubbard said.
But if too many Boeing employees are set in their ways, specifically regarding safety and innovation, "then it's going to be a long time until they're able to actually turn things around," he said.
Finding new CEO challenging
While board chair David Calhoun will take over as CEO on Jan. 13. finding a permanent replacement will be challenging, Argenti said.
"Someone who could really pull this company out from under is going to be an extraordinary human being."
Ian Lee, an associate professor at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University, said Boeing needs to recruit a "really, really strong CEO who is going to transform the culture at the top."
He said the new CEO will likely purge many senior managers.
"Large numbers of people will be fired ultimately," Lee said. "But it will be part of the regeneration and transformation process. And it will transform the corporate culture."
'They have to survive'
Still, all these changes, including bringing in new aircraft safeguards, will cost the company billions of dollars, Lee said.
"They will be looking at every aspect of their processes that led to the premature release of that plane and the software to the market," he said. "I do believe I'm talking years from now, because this is going to be a very slow process."
However, both Lee and Argenti said despite its problems, Boeing's future is secure.
"It's a necessary organization," Argenti said.
"If it were a retail store, there's another one that could pop up. But this is a company that the barriers to entry of creating another Boeing are virtually impossible," he said. "They have to survive."

Marcus Liberty`s letter to the National Basketball Association is coming, according to Illinois coach Lou Henson.
CBS reported Sunday the league had yet to receive Liberty`s letter, requesting that his name be entered for the June draft. Underclassmen such as Liberty, a junior, have to submit a letter to NBA officials with a postmark no later than Sunday.
Liberty couldn`t be reached for comment, but Henson said Sunday the star forward hasn`t changed his mind over his decision to turn pro.
``He`s made up his mind,`` Henson said. ``I think it`s definite. I definitely think he`s going.``
Tuesday, Liberty told Henson and assistant coach Jimmy Collins he intended to forgo his senior year. ``I`m sure if he had changed his mind, he`d have told us,`` Henson said.

|Abstract:||Relative spacecraft navigation based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been already successfully performed in low earth orbit (LEO). Very high accuracy, of the order of the millimeter, has been achieved in postprocessing using carrier phase differential GNSS (CDGNSS) and recovering the integer number of wavelength (Ambiguity) between the GNSS transmitters and the receiver. However the performance achievable on-board, in real time, above LEO and the GNSS constellation would be significantly lower due to limited computational resources, weaker signals, and worse geometric dilution of precision (GDOP). At the same time, monocular vision provides lower accuracy than CDGNSS when there is significant spacecraft separation, and it becomes even lower for larger baselines and wider field of views (FOVs). In order to increase the robustness, continuity, and accuracy of a real-time on-board GNSS-based relative navigation solution in a GNSS degraded environment such as Geosynchronous and High Earth Orbits, we propose a novel navigation architecture based on a tight fusion of carrier phase GNSS observations and monocular vision-based measurements, which enables fast autonomous relative pose estimation of cooperative spacecraft also in case of high GDOP and low GNSS visibility, where the GNSS signals are degraded, weak, or cannot be tracked continuously. In this paper we describe the architecture and implementation of a multi-sensor navigation solution and validate the proposed method in simulation. We use a dataset of images synthetically generated according to a chaser/target relative motion in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and realistic carrier phase and code-based GNSS observations simulated at the receiver position in the same orbits. We demonstrate that our fusion solution provides higher accuracy, higher robustness, and faster ambiguity resolution in case of degraded GNSS signal conditions, even when using high FOV cameras.|

buy a car in December. Get bonus EOY, prolly the last day of the year, could be a little sooner.. Need car Dec 12th or thereabout. Got a new Visa with 4K limit. have not used it yet, very new, not even reporting yet.
Since I will get the l bonus which should far exceed my down payment, why not throw the down payment on the card (don't even know if they accept a CC as a down payment, but anything is possible) , PIF before it hits billing statement? that way at least it will appear that I can "handle" that credit limit. Maybe I'll even get more, a cl increase!!...
i don't know.
I do know I would never carry a stupid balance on that card at a higher interest rate, I think it's like twenty percent.
this is a target visa btw.
thanks for any advice/input....

Merchant fees are why dealers will limit the amount they will accept for a downpayment. However I have never seen a limitation for a repair bill so the 2 are 'at odds'.
Even though the visa/mc says no minimum and would prefer no maximum - when the merchant submits an application they can set the parameters of their sales/charges - and as long as this was done there is no breach of the merchant's agreement with mastercard/visa - so technically there is no foul on the merchant's part.

Thanks Hauling, I will search that USAA article...interesting.
I put a call into the guy at the dealership, bascially once my bonus money gets despoited, run to the store with a four thousand dollar check in hand...pif!! pif!! would never want 100 percent posting, but after I get the car, i can't say that I will be all that "fixated" on my score. I'll always care, but this is a true fixation and the clock is ticking....i need the score for the auto loan.
since i have not gone through one billing statement yet or even the addition of the tl, it's hard for me to determine when the report to the bureaus. although I could ask. Sometiems when I ask these types of questions to the person that picks up the phone, they don't know....

Think commisions... They probably take it directly out of commisions.

Negotiate your purchase fully first - then reveal the source of your down payment. Any dealer worth his salt is going to adjust his numbers to compensate for the merchant fees if you give him a chance to do so.

“At the time, the conditions we were living in were terrible – I was surviving with my two children on £5 per week – we could only afford bread, sugar and tea. I could manage on one slice of bread per day, my oldest son on two. For my youngest son I used to boil the bread in water to make a porridge so that it would last longer.” (Tamara, destitute citizen of Nottingham)
It is evening but I am still waiting for the grace of a sun that won’t set. Yet, in spite of having fasted eighteen hours, I have still eaten more than Tamara, thanks to a hearty Sehri (dawn) breakfast. And I will certainly make-up for the loss of nourishment and sustenance at Iftari (dusk). There is however another dimension to my fast which is about consideration, support and connection with those who are less fortunate. I am glad to be part of a faith that prioritises our community and social responsibility in every dimension of its practice. The Prophet Mohammad’s life (pbuh) and at the essence of the Qur’an is a message about looking beyond oneself to seeing the fragility in all of us and empathising with the commonality of our humanity and the basis of our spirituality and path to God. The fast is an opportunity to exercise this relationship: to bear the pangs of hunger and suspend the needs of our own body not just to perform better our prayers, but to jolt our consciousness to the needs of others. I am blessed to feel my hunger as time-limited, but for Tamara, and the other two-hundred or more destitute people living in Nottingham, there is no grand Iftari meal at the end of the day. Tamara’s account is one of many documented by the Citizens for Sanctuary which commissioned the largest piece of research on destitution in Nottingham – that is those who have no right to work and no recourse to public funds. I was keen to contribute to the work of the Commission not just in my professional capacity but also with respect to my community and humanitarian responsibility as a citizen of Nottingham and as a Muslim.
Ramadan brings these threads together: the spiritual, the social and the humanitarian. The absence of food and water alerts us that we often take for granted that our basic needs are met; we should not then dismiss this awareness by over-eating and indulging ourselves at the break of the fast. This is after all a month-long requirement which suggests the idea of something to be developed and worked on for thirty days – not thirty discrete stand-alone days. I wanted to address both the over indulgence which has become common place in Ramadan, and is antithetical to it, with the consideration to supporting others from within our means. I set up a small local group consisting of a handful of Muslim women who alongside their own Iftari meal plate up an extra meal for someone who is destitute. We deliver these meals as close to Maghrib as possible three times a week to a minimum of ten individuals in Nottingham. For the most part we have been supporting Muslim families, including young children, who have been fasting, but we also support non-Muslims. It has been a pleasure to work with the Muslim women on this project – their generosity and consistency of support has been overwhelming. They are the ‘housewives’ who are often neglected in exchanges and actions, but their significance for collective patterns of action is demonstrated here. It is also good to see the mutual exchange of prayers and well-wishes across families that may not have otherwise ever met or connected. I hope this is one step, however small, towards belonging to a community of others and recognising that we are all vulnerable and incomplete. That is, ‘to do’ compassion and empathy.

In addition to being a grants professional, I’m also a qualified Pilates teacher and Certified Personal Trainer. At the start of the year, I never thought these two passions and communities could be combined. I never thought we’d experience a pandemic either! Prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus, I used to spend my Saturday mornings teaching Pilates Reformer classes at a boutique studio in Austin, TX.
In March, when COVID-19 put everyone in lock-down and the stay-at-home order was put in place, I saw an opportunity to use my teaching skills for the benefit of the Grant Professionals Foundation (GPF) by offering weekly Pilates mat classes to clients and friends with fees being donated to directly support their mission: Strengthening Nonprofits – Advancing The Grant Profession.
This idea and approach could be seen as altruistic. In all honesty, my key motivation was maintenance: maintaining a connection with my Pilates community; maintaining health and fitness for us all; maintaining a routine and a sense of normality, especially when everything else seemed to be so disruptive and uncertain.
Not knowing how long we were likely to be in lock-down – thinking it could be a few weeks and then realizing it was more likely to be several months – I embraced Zoom and turned my Saturday morning classes into mat Pilates workouts. Most people who practice Pilates do so in a studio with specialized apparatus designed to help accelerate the process of stretching, strengthening, body alignment, and increased core strength started by the fundamental mat work. Joseph Pilates (yes, he was a real person) first developed his physical fitness system in the early 20th century. Calling it “Contrology,” his method focuses on the art of controlled movements, placing emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance.
My clients don’t own a $3000 Pilates Reformer (sadly, neither do I!) but everyone had a yoga mat, blanket, or towel they could use. They had time on their hands while at home and all wanted to connect with others – even through a computer screen. The kids and cats made it all the more fun!
Most people outside of the grants community are unfamiliar with the GPF. Perhaps even some grant professionals don’t realize the GPF was established in January 2006 to ensure resources are available to educate, credential, and assist grant professionals who secure the funding necessary for not-for-profits to serve the greater good. After receiving a GPF Scholarship last year to attend the 2019 GPA Annual Conference, I wanted to continue to engage with the GPF and support its cause – giving back as a way to show my appreciation for an amazing first-time experience at the GPA conference. I wrote a previous blog – as did other Scholars – about my experience.
Transitioning from in-person studio Pilates classes to at-home virtual classes was an ideal opportunity to talk to my Pilates clients about how the GPF provides scholarships to grant professionals and non-profit executives. All of my Pilates clients have been most generous; letting me into their homes and helping me raise money for the GPF. They keep showing up each week, with energy and focus as I say “Just one more time” into the microphone!
Now the GPF has just announced the scholarship recipients for the 2020 GPA Annual Conference – congratulations to all 12 Scholars – I’m pleased to tell my Pilates clients how they’ve made a big difference and helped strengthen the grants profession and nonprofit community. I’m pleased to have raised a few dollars for the GPF and increased awareness of the work they do.
I know many grant professionals also have side hustles, pet projects, and hobbies that fill their time when they’re not being grant rock stars. The GPF often sees these hidden talents shine during its silent auction – their signature fundraising event – held at the GPA annual conference. While the GPA conference is a virtual event this year, the silent auction has always been online. Items for the silent auction are being accepted now and can be donated through the GPF website.
This pandemic certainly wasn’t on my 2020 “vision board” 😊, but I am glad to have had the chance to get creative and combine my passion and skills for the greater good. I hope others reading this blog will consider ways in which they can do the same.
By Victoria Threadgould – Grant Professional. GPF Board Member. Pilates Teacher.

The Sims 4 has already been around for 6 years, and one can only rebuild a house, start a new career, or get a new pet so many times. Which is why EA has been diligent in adding new worlds and features to keep the game alive, though at times expanding into the slightly ludicrous, turning Sims into vampires, teaching them how to cast spells, or throwing them into a town that turns its inhabitants into mindless zombies.
But nothing can be more exhilarating than sending a Sim into a galaxy far, far away to gamble with Biths in a bar, fly an X-wing, or even tell Kylo Ren a gross joke right?
The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu game pack adds the planet of Batuu to the Sims 4 universe, which consists of three areas, namely the Black Spire Outpost where the scoundrels gather; the First Order District where the First Order operates from; and the Resistance Encampment in the middle of a lush forest. Players would want to start from the Black Spire Outpost because that is where the bar is and while it is disappointing that the Cantina band has been replaced by a stoic DJ droid called R-3X, at least the music is good.
Arriving at the Black Spire Outpost, a Sim can walk over to the Dwelling to change out of their hoodie and jeans, and jump into their Batuu outfit to blend in with the locals. That is also the only place in the whole planet where they can empty their bladder. Apparently the First Order officers have a secret washroom that is not available to the public, and the Resistance members… well, there are lots of trees and shrubs in the forest. This is one inconvenience that can really irk players because their Sim could be in the midst of a critical hacking mission at the First Order District, but have to abandon midway and travel to the Black Spire Outpost because nature called!
Except for a stall selling blue and green milk at the First Order District, the Black Spire Outpost is also the only place where a Sim could buy take-away food. For strange reasons, the Docking Bay 7 does not provide dine-in and the Sim would have to take their food to the Cantina bar to eat among the scoundrels. Don’t worry, they are a friendly bunch.
Once their Sim’s six basic needs are met, players could start them on their Star Wars adventure by changing their aspiration to join the First Order, the Resistance or the scoundrels. A Sim can then receive their first mission from Lt. Agnon, any random Resistance member, or Hondo Ohnaka respectively. Since simoleons cannot be used on Batuu for obvious reasons, completing missions is the only way a Sim could earn galactic credits to buy food and stuff.
Except for a few crucial ones though, most of the missions are short, and they can quickly become repetitive. If a Sim works for the First Order, their missions would usually be installing surveillance systems on control panels, patrolling on the TIE fighter, or intimidating Batuu citizens. Sims can also receive missions from the Supreme Leader Kylo Ren himself, but be warned that failing Kylo Ren’s mission can be a chokingly painful experience.
Completing missions would also reward Sims with reputation points for promotion among the ranks, and bonus items like kyber crystals needed for constructing a lightsaber. Yes, on Batuu, even a scoundrel can own a lightsaber if they have the right parts. Though it’s a bummer that everyone on Batuu prefers a good fist fight and the only time a Sim could swing their lightsaber is to take part in a Lightsaber Challenge.
When on or off a mission, a Sim can also find love with someone on Batuu, and no, romance is not limited to humans, except for Kylo Ren and Rey, that is. They can hug the Supreme Leader but they can’t make him love them. As for Rey, well, she is only interested in playing with her lightsaber. But whatever happens in Batuu stays in Batuu, and a Sim can’t bring their alien lover home. They can’t even call them for a long-distance relationship chat.
As a Star Wars game pack, one would expect to find more legendary characters than just Kylo Ren and Rey. It would also be more interesting if there were more NPCs on the ground for the Sims to interact with. There is a robust alien population in the Black Spire Outpost, but there are only a handful of Resistance members in the Resistance Encampment, and the First Order District has more stormtroopers and officers than normal citizens.
At least the taking off of the TIE fighter and X-wing are nice to look at. The Black Spire Outpost is a beautiful and intricate Star Wars city too, with the majesty Millennium Falcon sitting in its dock. In contrast, the First Order’s little command center in the First Order District is not imposing enough, and the Resistance Encampment is just a huge forest with trees and tents.
Players will find this a rather short game pack, with just seven hours needed for a Sim to reach the highest rank and achieve their aspiration. But they could also make their Sim a Finn and abandon the First Order to join the Resistance, then turn to the grey side later and join Hondo Ohnaka’s scoundrels.
Overall, the Journey to Batuu game pack is a bit underwhelming and runs a little too short. The saving grace is that players get to keep their droids and other collectibles in the main game. Batuu furniture is added to the Build mode, and all the clothing unlocked in Batuu are added to the wardrobe. Your Sim can now attend his/her friend’s birthday party dressed as a TIE fighter pilot.
GEEK REVIEW SCORE
The missions in The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu game pack might be repetitive and can be tiring, but a Star Wars fan won’t want to miss taking an alien down with a lightsaber or watching their droid hack a high security door.
Gameplay - 7/10
Story - 6/10
Presentation - 8/10

Music arouses an image, and some images seem to have music playing. Image and sound are mutually interpreted, while stimulating each other. Baik Soon Shil’s solo exhibition, starting from classical music, is a venue for response and reaction among the senses. As the term “visual and auditory senses” indicates, the sense of sight and the sense of hearing are closely associated with each other. As space-time is one, music as temporal art and painting as spatial art may imply each other. Baik has over decades painted about 200 pictures pertaining to music including prints and large-scale paintings, and this exhibition is an extension of her work addressing music. Any interaction between the visual and aural senses is more than her adoption of music as her subject matter. Their mutual reaction is more profound. Although her works have titles such as “Ode to Music-“ with the title of music added, its interpretation is limitless as long as music itself is abstract. A link between music and painting in this exhibition is strict yet liberal. Her work is not a reproduction of music in painting but something inspired and engendered by music.
Baik is not bound by music as her painting is not restricted by the object. After listening to pearls of classical music subjectively she responds to them. When sound arising and vanishing in time dwells in a painting regarded as a form of space, any movement to abstraction takes place but she shuns reduction to decoration through her inquiring attitude vis-à-vis each piece of music. A musical piece brings about another interpretation when it passes through the artist’s body. The same piece of music is heard different in accordance with the state of players or listeners. Music is an arresting genre as a departure point of another where a minute differenced is sensed – like in nature. Music makes listeners seep into space-time, enabling them to reach a stage we cannot arrive at with our dulled senses, by rearranging their sensibility. Any interpretation will be mechanical and commonsense without an initial allure, and any inspiration deriving from this allure will disappear in vain without any other language familiar to us.
Baik’s artistic motive derives from the musical environment of her everyday space. In her studio in Heyri, Paju, there is a room for tea and music from which bamboo she planted is visible. She was exposed to classical music from her father’s phonograph as a child, and appreciated classical music at legendary classical music halls such as Baroque, Renaissance, and also Philharmonie, and music teashops such as Dolce and Hakrim when living near her college in the 1970s. She traveled around the world for 10 years in her late forties with the theme of classical music.
Baik still visits the sites where new music is composed and played. Classical music was part of her everyday life but she went through a period when she explored them extensively. In the 2000s she painted 200 pictures that paired with poet Lee In Hye’s essays for a magazine specializing in music, and continued this project after the publication terminated the ongoing series. In the 1990s, prior to this serial publication, she also published 70 pieces under the title The Sound of Korea. We cannot identify sound with music – sound is “an unrefined music and unperceived music” (Victor Zucherkandl). This exhibition showcases the results of her constant work addressing sound with melody and refined music.
Unlike typical classical music and audio mania, Baik has occupied herself with painting. Those who can recreate what arrests them in a meaningful, dense language are only artists of the same feather who are able to give new life to appealing things beyond blind possession and passive admiration. The artist says her working style is like “meticulously embroidering in women’s quarters”. Unlike music that is usually in an atmosphere of freedom, she occupies herself with the effects of materials and tools, concentrating on meticulous work that puts stress on her body. It is worth savoring the work’s audacious composition and diverse effects arising from scraping, wiping, dying, and imprinting details. While the scenes portrayed do not appear complicated, many layers created over time bring forth interacting textures. Her color and form stemming from sound or music forms many layers, but it is unknown which element will be more actively adopted.
The texture that becomes thick with many layers evokes an effect akin to that of her other series Dongdasong. Unlike the colorful works on show at the exhibition, her previous series used earth tones like the hue from brewing tea or the earth where tea trees grow. This reflects her childhood experience of drawing on the soft wet earth after the rain. An earthy smell radiating with geothermal heat is the remainder of tea-related sound, color, and smell. This overall synesthesia can be applied to music. Innate in Dongdasong, the serial work she has worked on since her first solo show in 1988 under the theme of tea, are the sounds of rain, wind, and pouring tea water. This “spiritual sound of the universe” heard from the series is applied to classical music, the most refined sound in the world.
Baik painted a few works on display at the exhibition including Ode to Music 0717, Hindemith Symphony_Painter Matisse on a square canvas similar to a record or CD case. The square canvas seems to symbolize complete order recollecting the world of Ideas by Plato. A work of art giving form to music is abstract. In Baik’s work, the music of Tchaikovsky, her first love, the “genius of melodies” is represented with lineal elements such as clusters of red flowers and people’s legs. The line is a primary element determining dynamism on her canvases. Details on the planes divided by lines are alive in this work filled with starkly contrasting colors. Many pieces of Beethoven’s music included in the show display her preference for classical music. In Ode to Music 1404, Beethoven Symphony No.7 has a vitality sensed in the colors swirling and filling the background, and points that look like tiny petals scattered over this give dynamic form to music.
In Ode to Music 1410, Beethoven Triple Concerto C major Op. 56, three colors of same density in the form of jogakbo, traditional Korean patchwork cloth, are symbolic of three instruments played at the same intensity. As most of her works are products of her feeling about a particular piece of music rather than an analysis, it is of no significance to make any one-to-one correspondence between the music’s title and her work. However, these works suggest what initiated each work. Baik has represented even music pieces she had no preference greatly. This attitude of opening up to and exploring the new enables her to clarify any difference, even in repetition. Baik uses musical pieces by Mahler, Brahms, Chopin, and Mozart for works on show in the exhibition. Those works are characterized by a division of large planes in which pictorial composition is identical with musical composition and heterogeneous details applied to each work differently. Works suggestive of the direction of power, such as Ode to Music 1416, Chopin Nocturne No. 27-1 C# minor, featuring an image that looks like heavy rain or spouting water, and Ode to Music 1407, Brahms Symphony No. 3 featuring an image like a seagull crossing the middle of a scene, are distinguishable from the Dongdasong series marked by serenity.
Both music and art are abstract but they have sense of space and gravity in nature. In Ode to Music 1414, Mozart Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola K364 a lozenge at the bottom of an abstract scene seems to showcase an entrance to the music world. As in the Dongdasong series reminding the viewer of tea’s deep taste and the land where tea grows, the multi-layered scene growing thick through an application of diverse materials lends a sense of presence to abstract music. A shift from potentiality to practicality depends on those who see her painting and listen to music inherent in her painting. In his book Sound and Symbol Victor Zuckerkandl sees dynamism in the nature of musical sound, deriving from its relation with something that is not there. It means we open to the direction where sound is to come. Baik’s scenes created with diverse materials and tools are something subtle that cannot be reduced to specific color and form, as a three-dimensional representation of music heard differently whenever listened to.
Many elements moving in her work are for the immediate representation of the body and sensibility as a prior or trans-linguistic language not defined by symbol. A new order different from the order of universal symbols widely accepted in society is formed by trans-heterogeneity, which only those plunging into the abyss of art can secure. Baik’s work displays a coexistence of a restrained structure and a sense of composition, departing form the unconscious world. This sense is represented by a vigorous division of the scene, enabling her work to proceed somewhere else. Victor Zuckerkandl says that a new dimension of music enriching an unknown world is not trans-emotional, transcendental, or dreamlike, which romanticists denote. It is time, everything described, and all that flows, forms, changes, and moves. Time with music has entered the world of the image. We can see time under the aegis of music. Time here is of the order and form of experience. A principal temporal sign in music is rhythm.
According to Sound and Symbol, each sound is not a temporal continuation but a system depending on rhythmical structure and effect. Rhythm appears as one of the general principles governing the universe. The sense of rhythm in painting is associated with something accumulated and growing. Such organic totality found in her work reminds us that classical music is the product of an age of nature when all was intact. Rhythm is also created by time, and an experience of rhythm is an experience of time. Such experience of time activates not only the vision of the viewer but also their body. Music in Baik’s painting changes pictorial space into the venue of resonance, deviating from the mores of visual perception arousing uniformity and conventionality. As the Dongdasong series is even for the senses of smell and taste, Baik’s painting is a stage for synesthesia: the tactile sense integrates the five senses. A tactile canvas redolent of a primal material or the earth becomes a medium for such integration.
The five senses – touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight – are hierarchized. The more we rely on the senses in their own right, the more we are gradually removed from the natural body. Quoting Aristotle, who put emphasis on the tactile sense as a crucial medium to integrate all other senses, in The Gutenberg Galaxy, Marshall McLuhan sees a perception by the sense of touch as the sense verging on the perfect. How fantastic might it be if we can touch sound and color? In Baik’s work a tactile quality deriving from discontinuous multilayered scenes gives an impetus to synesthesia.
Synesthesia is not only psychological but also physical: color waves go hand in hand with sound vibrations. In Das Rätsel Farbe: Materie und Mythos, Magarete Bruns points out that although counting colors depends on our sensibility, Isaac Newton defined a rainbow with seven colors in his Optics since he considered a similarity between the rainbow’s seven colors with the heptatonic scale in Western music. Baik’s work represents a psychological, symbolic response among diverse senses and an objectification of transferal among the senses through experiment with materials and tools. These are the senses in an age of consilience after modernist efforts to separate the inseparable.

Country walks can help with depression
Nature walks have the capacity to help improve cognitive abilities for individuals battling clinical depression. This is the suggestion of new research published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, which showed strolls in the park can bring a number of psychological benefits.
Investigators from the University of Michigan, Stanford University and Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care's Rotman Research Institute in Toronto found activities of this kind can serve to boost memory performance to a greater degree than walking in busy urban centres.
Marc Berman, a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Totonto-based facility, said that although the advantages of nature walks to those with clinical depression have been highlighted, this approach does not mean other tried-and-tested treatments - such as drug administration and psychotherapy - should be disposed of.
Mr Berman stated: "Walking in nature may act to supplement or enhance existing treatments for clinical depression, but more research is needed to understand just how effective nature walks can be."
Professor Stephen Palmer, Chartered Psychologist, commented: "Just going for a walk or visiting an art gallery in your lunchtime has the ability to enhance well-being.
"I'm not particularly surprised that walking in nature can also uplift a person's mood and improve cognitive function better than an urban walk as the latter usually has more intrusive noises.
"For many people it is probably easier to become more mindful during a nature walk as it can distract us from the negative mental clutter we pay attention to in normal circumstances."
In a widely reported paper given at our Annual Conference in London last month, Mathew White presented the results of a study suggesting that spending time by the sea is particularly beneficial for our health and well-being.

- Travel to Raytheon
- Expose ourselves to their public relations dept. to one day ask for a sponsorship
- Talk to engineers about robotics
- Take a tour of their facility
Today Evan, and Hunter traveled from Monrovia to the distant coastal city of El Segundo to pay Raytheon a visit. We arrived under the impression that there would be an entire quad filled with robotics, as suggested by the provided map. This however was not the case. There was us, and one FRC team 707 still using its basketball throwing mechanism. Never the less we still presented ourselves to the various people that passed us on their way to wherever they were going. A while later, we were invited to come into the cafeteria to have lunch and complete a task that was unknown at the time. As Evan and Hunter enjoyed their non vegetarian burgers. Before they could even finish their food, the Raytheon employees put on a little skit to introduce the days challenge. As we would still find out, we had to build a sterling engine out of little other than a coke can and steel wool. After the allotted time was up we had done pretty well, and were off to the tour of their facilities. The first lab that we went to was the ITF (Integrated Testing Facilities) lab where we found a giant capsule that we can take out all of the air(or close to it) and super heat or super cool the chamber to test how optics will react in space. After this we went to a Calibration lab, this was highly dependent on lasers and other sorts of optics. They had a machine that you could create a 3D CAD model of whatever you want using nothing but lasers.

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks for the cryptosphere. And last seven days Do you know the Japanese saying “may you live in interesting times”? Well, it’s meant as a curse. But the only way to survive some interesting times (as the current crypto market) is to keep updated with the relevant news so you’ll be ready to take advantage of excellent opportunities when they come along. In that spirit, here’s the latest price analysis for ten different digital assets.
Support levels are supposed to mark the bottom of a fall. But waterfall declines don’t care about that, so you never know when the fall stops. The reactions are very short-lived (no more than three days). Bitcoin tried to recover and stay above $12,000 mark, and it failed at $11,799.74. And now as we write this, BTC keeps going down and might fall till $11,500 as the day ends. RSI is rooted in the oversold zone, and the moving averages are also on a downtrend. The market belongs to the bear. But, nevertheless, bulls seem to be fighting hard.
The first support level is $11,500, then $11,000, and then $ 10,500. A recovery, if we should see one anytime soon will face some serious resistance at $12,000 now.
While buying cheap is always the idea, the most prudent move would be to wait until the low level becomes stable, and not to buy during a free fall.
Ripple’s XRP (XRP/USD)
Not too long ago, XRP was outperforming everybody. That has changed now. It’s still going down and broken the uptrend line down, so it’s not free of the bear’s hug. But it remains entirely above its lows, unlike most other coins.
Technical parameters indicate that supply is outpacing demand.
The current support level is $0.37185, and then $0.34913. The XRP/USD pair could consolidate if the price scales above the uptrend line and the moving averages go flat. The outlook is neutral as we write, but it’s better to stay away for now.
Ethereum can’t find buyers anymore for a while. It got stalled at $300 level after significant rise recently, which points to lack of buying support.
Sellers are trying to bring the price down all the way to the next support level ($270). It will likely pull back as it reaches the support level (that’s the point of a support level). But even in that context, it would be too hopeful to start an ETH trade because of that. Wait for a new setup before seriously considering a trade.
The critical resistance level (which is really unlikely to be reached right now) is at $288.32. This bit of info is actually useless right now when it’s going stiffly down, but we give it to you for completeness.
Stellar Lumens (XLM/USD)
Stellar (XLM) is near a critical level of $0.101045. If the bears break it, it will go down, and it could reach $0.1547188 (as in last March 18th) or of $0.138565 (as in last December 22nd)
But the bulls could break the critical level upwards, in which case it could go up, moderately.
For Stellar Lumens (XLM), as with many other coins in the current mayhem, it’s better to wait for a better setup before deciding on a trade.
EOS broke its critical support level at $8.8723. Yet, it hasn’t plummeted, but it hasn’t rebounded either. So there seems to be enough support at lower levels. The RSI also suggests a recovery attempt is in the works.
If the bulls can overcome the $6.8723, then a move above $8.493 is possible. It will be a milestone as the 20-day EMA is the same. But if the pair doesn’t go over the current level, it could go down all the way to $5.00. There are no signs of an imminent bull run, so it’s not a good time to get in.
Buyers have held Litecoin’s support level fast at $119 for three days in a row, but have failed to make it go up that much.
The RSI is oversold, however, so a pullback is likely. Resistance will come at the $123–$126.49 zone as prices rise. But, the bears can still carry the day, and then the support zone would be $117–$115.653, and Litecoin could fall as far as $110.00.
Cardano’s ADA (ADA/USD)
Cardano attempted a pullback, but it could not get over the ten-cent level, and now the price is back at a support level of $0.086. If it breaks out downwards of the support level, it could go down to the next support level at $0.080354.
But if the bulls have the day, it will keep trying to go over $0.09. If it does it could reach $0.093105 and then it will find resistance there, because it was a previous support level. The 20-day EMA is close to that level too, so that will add to the resistance.
The bulls went for Monero recently, too. But they got stuck at $98. As a result, the price went down yet again.
The current danger for Monero is that it could go lower than $90. If that happens, then it could go further down to $81.
If this digital asset can find buyers at the current levels, then we will see a new attempt to break the $99 level. If the bulls succeed and cross the current critical level, then the pullback could keep on going to the next resistance level, which is at $105.
Tron’s Tronix (TRX/USD)
Tronix was at a weird level. It was a previous support level turned into a resistance level at $0.03158. It was stuck there for some time. The good news is that the bulls managed to hold prices above the low level of $0.3022194.
The chances are that the bulls will attack again and try to take Tronix above $0.03587681 and then keep going until they reach the next resistance level at $0.0393.
While we don’t expect Tronix to go under $0.0300194, it could happen. Then, it’s not unthinkable that it will go down to the next support level at $0.02744479.
Dash is still trading around the descending channel’s support level, which comes to show that sellers have the market for the time being. Any breakdown in the channel will be a bad thing and will push DASH downwards to the next support level ($160).
If support holds, the bulls will attack again and try to bring the token back to $170 and beyond, all the way to the overhead $187.68 resistance level. This could be a good coin to take long positions, but only if and when a trend reversal becomes evident.

Hi there, I am newbie experimenting a bit.
Is it possible with the timeline NOT to show start/or end date in the record when you click on the line itself? this would be helpful for our needs but I do not manage to find a solution
Apr 07, 2022
Hi @julia_bartels and welcome to the community!
As far as I know, there isn’t a way to this, even if you uncheck those field under “customize labels”.

It’s been less than two weeks since I declared radio silence. In that time my human has packed up our lives and we’ve embarked on a journey through the real world.
How many times have I quoted T.S. Eliot, “Our beginnings never know their ends”? Well, that’s how it was and it has never been truer.
It was Leanna who got me thinking about how on a long journey you have time for quality thought as the miles race by. And that was very true. One other thing I discovered, not only can my human become immersed in my world, but for the first time I became immersed in my human’s world.
There was even an adventure on this journey, an adventure that caused my closest friends to lecture me sternly against ever doing again. It involved picking up a hitch hiker, a guy, at a small gas station in Wyoming. It wasn’t a romantic thing and, yes, it could have been dangerous but he and I travelled almost 400 miles together. For me, it was an amazing journey through some very rugged territory and a fascinating conversation with a kindred spirit. It was even educational. I’ll be writing more about it in iRez magazine soon.
My journey to a new life was a journey through space and time, but also a journey into a new sense of reality and identity.

Most likely it will not remove the virus because most viruses replicate themselves and make it difficult to remove. 99.7% of the time it will not remove the virus.

I’ve been a business owner since 2003, apart from 2 years I spent as the Chief Marketing Officer of a publicly traded entertainment company after they acquired my business. It took quite a long time for me to realize that all of the challenges I’ve ever faced as a leader stemmed from a single point of failure.
It didn’t matter if the problem was poor sales, product delays/issues, employee disengagement, marketing messages that didn’t convert, customer complaints, losing out to competitors, departments pulling in different directions, bad hiring or lack of innovation. Looking back today, I know that these problems could have been solved had one critical element been in place. Something so foundational, that no matter how many walls you build on it, it won’t collapse, only strengthen. Without this in place, all of the shiny new marketing campaigns in the world and all the new hires you make won’t solve the bigger problem.
I’m talking of course about purpose: a clear compelling reason for existing that manifests itself in every budget, brainstorm and build. As business owners we don’t naturally think that “we lack purpose”, after all, don’t we show up every day and make products that people buy? Isn’t that our purpose? The truth is, it isn’t. When you shackle your company’s purpose to the agenda of your products and services, you only ever grow to fill the available space that they provide. Purpose-driven businesses are aligned with the agenda of humanity with it’s ever evolving and complex needs creating a space that will never be filled. What an opportunity!
When we meet with clients to discuss their challenges, they rarely mention purpose, they mention the problems listed above. It’s natural to react to the thing that’s right in front of our eyes, but when we step back and ask why these problems exist, we start to get a true measure of the landscape.
To help answer the question of whether your brand lacks purpose or not, I have listed below a set of questions (in no particular order) that help us diagnose the true problems facing a business. More often than not, it’s that single point of failure I mentioned. We’ll update this list as we think of more questions to ask.
If you answer Yes to any of these questions, you will likely benefit from exploring a purpose-driven direction.
- As a leader, is your calendar filled with operational tasks, with little time for thinking or strategy?
- Does your company suffer from absenteeism?
- Do you notice a lack of employee engagement?
- Do you constantly wonder how to promote better teamwork?
- Does your company lack innovation?
- Do you wonder how competitors are able to innovate so quickly?
- Is profit the ultimate company goal?
- Do you lack a central social cause that employees and customers can buy into?
- Do hallway conversations determine strategic direction?
- Are you surprised that competitors grow at a faster rate than you?
- Do different executive team members offer differing opinions on company goals?
- Do you describe your business in terms of the products and services you sell?
- Are your marketing messages product and feature heavy?
- Do you lack process to allow for measurement of results?
- Are you understaffed in key areas of the business?
- Is it a challenge to articulate your ideal customer(s)?
- Do you change your plans and goals whenever a competitor ships a new product?
- Do department heads argue about direction?
- Does your business live by the numbers, quarter to quarter?
- Do you feel your customers have trouble understanding the real benefits you offer?
- Would you have trouble matching your products and services with target audience profiles?
- Has “it” always been done this way?
- Do you suffer from customer service issues?
- Is your refund rate higher than you would like?
- Are you challenged to find and recruit top talent?
As business owners we’re often too close to the coalface to see or understand the greater influences on our behavior and results. In a fluid marketplace, it’s important to regularly check how well each aspect of the business lives up to and contributes to the overall brand purpose. It’s a simple task with profound effects.

A couple and their 2-year-old daughter died on Thursday after a police chase ended in a devastating crash near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Police identified the victims as 28-year-old David Bianco, 21-year-old Kaylie Meininger, his fiancée, and their 2-year-old daughter, Annika. They were on their way to a Thanksgiving dinner at a relatives house, according to family members who spoke to Channel 11.
A GoFundMe page was set up for the victims by their friends and family to help in their burials.
Driver Demetrius Coleman, 22, is now facing homicide charges. Coleman was pulled over by East McKeesport police at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday after making an illegal turn, then sped away after officers discovered he was wanted for violating his probation for a felony charge stemming from drug charges, according to ABC News.
Three other people were injured and transported to a hospital. Coleman is facing charges of criminal homicide, vehicular homicide and aggravated assault with a vehicle among other charges.
The second car Coleman hit involved an SUV in which three women were injured but expected to survive. The car containing two adults and toddler that Coleman hit burst into flames. It was about two miles away from the initial traffic stop.
Coleman had sped away from a convenience store parking lot where he was pulled over by officers, according to ABC News.
Authorities told Channel 11 News, a local station, that speeds reached more than 100 mph during the chase. The police officer who initiated the chase was placed on administrative leave per protocol.

By Jon Boon – Radar Reporter
It could be purely coincidental – but the same day a sex tape featuring her ex-husband Hulk Hogan was leaked, Linda Hogan provided this mugshot for cops after being pulled over for DUI, RadarOnline.com reports.
The 53-year-old former wife of the wrestling star was stopped by cops for speeding in Malibu, California on Thursday at around 1.30 a.m., registering a blood alcohol level of 0.084 in a breathalyzer test – just over the 0.08 legal limit.
According to her lawyer, she was hospitalized two days previous to the arrest for an e coli infection and was taking antibiotics, which exacerbated the effects of the champagne she drank at a jewelry event hours earlier.
“She regrets it. She’s a mom, so she’s embarrassed about it,” Raymond Rafool revealed.
“She’s just thankful it wasn’t worse and thankful nobody got hurt. The police were all very nice. It wasn’t a scene at all. It was anticlimactic.”
Rafool also said that his client had two glasses of bubbly on an empty stomach before heading home alone to Simi Valley.
Hogan was released shortly before 9 a.m. on $5,000 bail, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records.
The timing couldn’t have been worse for Linda – Hulk’s sex tape was leaked on the internet providing more embarrassment for the Hogans.
But she wasn’t surprised that the home video existed.
She told RadarOnline.com, “I wasn’t really shocked about it,” and that the sexual encounter, alleged to have been with the ex-wife of his best friend DJ Bubba the Love Sponge, was “a little twisted.”

Gumersindo Lafuente has been innovating in digital media for more than a decade. Most recently, he launched Por Causa, a nonprofit foundation that uses data journalism to investigate the causes of poverty and inequality.
He talked about his new initiative in Part I of his interview with IJNet, here.
In Part II, below, Lafuente discusses lessons learned from a previous startup, which projects inspire him and why journalists must embrace tech.
Gumersindo Lafuente: Soitu has nothing to do with Por Causa; the time when it was launched was different, and so was the model. Soitu was born in a time that is very different from the one in which we live today. Back then we were, in a sense, at the highest point of the financial bubble. It was a very ambitious project that had a purely journalism side to it and also a side related to technology for journalism.
At that time, considering the economy and the type of funding we got, we decided to make it a very ambitious project.
Our project was certainly so innovative that it would have been a much better fit in today's social media world than when it was born. Soitu was a project almost tailored to the world of Twitter and Facebook. When Soitu was launched, Facebook did exist, but it didn’t have the relevance it has today, and Twitter didn’t exist. Soitu and Twitter were born almost simultaneously.
It is easy to find lessons today when so many years have passed and [the economic crisis in Spain is so deep] but at the time it wasn’t so simple. If it were simple, we wouldn’t have made certain mistakes. I think we did make some mistakes.
Our project was much more interesting and more powerful than we thought, especially the technological aspect of it. And perhaps we failed to realize the full potential of the technology our company had, so that the journalism aspect of it could survive. We didn’t have it easy either. Our shareholder, who was extremely generous at first, didn’t make it easy for us at the end. The violent collapse of the world economy, and of the Spanish economy, didn’t make it simple for us either.
IJNet: Are there any new media startups that have caught your eye?
Some of them are niche sites, others focus on conflict, others on politics…. They are very relevant from the journalism standpoint. They have a problem almost everyone has: funding. Many of them are funded by international foundations, some of them are from the U.S., and they haven’t found a sustainable business model yet.
I think that will come about. There's one in Argentina that I find very interesting: Chequeado.org. Another interesting initiative is Poderopedia in Chile. Some of them are news outlets, others are sites that are dedicated to creating tools to [keep tabs on] the powerful.
Here in Spain, there are new media, like El Diario.es, which has been around for more than a year, and InfoLibre. But although they are very interesting projects, they are still extremely traditional. Because of the economic situation in Spain, it is difficult to find funding for certain types of innovation.
What we see is that traditional media publishers don’t seem to find the way, and they are leaving that field open for innovative people. Things like the purchase of the Washington Post by [Jeff] Bezos will keep happening, and we'll see in the coming months or years how digital millionaires will buy or start news media outlets.
This isn’t really new. In every industrial revolution, the people who made money founded media outlets. That happened in Spain in the late 19th century and happened again in the early 20th century. Those who were successful in business either bought or founded newspapers. Something similar is going to happen now, after years of media outlets being in the hands of families that were passing the baton from generation to generation.
IJNet: What skills do journalists need today? What advice would you give to journalism students?
GL: There are general tips that have to do with being aware that journalism is an extremely delicate job, which you have to [handle carefully] at all times. Also, take into account that our world is now experiencing an absolutely revolutionary change, and therefore there are many issues on which there are no absolute truths.
Third, do not be afraid of innovation, and do not be afraid of technology. A few years ago you would advise a journalist to travel a lot and learn many languages. Today, although it's still important to have curiosity and perseverance, it is essential to understand technology. It's as important today as learning to speak a new language. And understanding that technology is what allows journalism to be competitive and innovative.
For students, besides being passionate about journalism, if they know their way around technology, they will have a much brighter future in journalism.
Maite Fernández is IJNet’s managing editor. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and has an M.J. in multimedia journalism from the University of Maryland.
This interview was conducted in Spanish and translated into English by Maite Fernández.

Hey boners, it’s Toni Basil!
I know the picture makes you think you’re getting “Mickey” as one of your songs today…
But you’re not.
It’s not like you haven’t heard it a million times anyway…
The closest you’ll get from me today is “Kitty“ by Racey, and you’ll fucking like it.
So, uh, here’s Toni with a cover of DEVO‘s “Space Girl Blues”
Now let’s check out “You Got A Problem“…which is a cover of DEVO‘s “Pity You“:
What are the chances that today’s two-fer fails just as miserably as last Tuesday’s?
Knowing my audience, pretty damn good.
C U Next Tuesday!

This is my first post on this board.....I've visitied the site a few times and have been impressed with what I have seen!
I am heading up to Vancouver Island next week to do some flyfishing and I was wondering if anyone has heard any recent reports up there. I was thinking of hitting the Campbell, and possibly the Heber and Gold Rivers for steelies. Wouldn't mind hooking into a Silver or Chum as well, but thats secondary.
Has anyone heard of anything happening up there lately?
09-06-2002, 06:35 PM
I fished the Stamp last week. Water was very low and very clear. There were Steelhead in the river, but they weren't biting. Coho were not in the river yet. For information about the Gold, try contacting Matt Guiguet at Murphy's http://www.murphysportfishing.com/index.html
09-07-2002, 08:37 AM
Per the Flyfishing Forum guideline, please CC firstname.lastname@example.org when you send the email to the Murphy's suggesting they become a sponsor. In case you missed the many announcements explaining this guideline, when a non-sponsor is directly promoted (as in this case) the member is obligated via honor system to send an email suggesting sponsorship to the business they promoted in this audience.
It would be dishonorable if we permitted promotion of other businesses despite being dependent on the support of our true sponsors for our very existence. Clearly we do not want to create a forum where our sponsors are funding us to promote their competitors, but if they become supporters then they deserve our full attention themselves! By this approach we are not censoring, but still are playing fair to everyone's benefit.
Although someone suggested a form letter, these things are more convincing if genuine and in the members own words.
Flyfishing Forum Staff
your best effort on van.isle right now would be to try the beaches on the east coast of the island for silvers/coho and pink salmon. The return to the gold/ heber was down slightly from recent years and the warm temperatures we have been having have the fish down right now. Most of the beaches between Parksville and Port hardy will have salmon at certain times of the tide and there is good numbers of silvers/coho around this year.
09-07-2002, 09:27 PM
I agree the East Coast of Vancouver Island is the place to be right now, several reliable reports from boats transiting the Johnstone Strait and Discovery Passage have it that there are very large schools of salmon throughout the district as we type!
09-08-2002, 03:51 AM
Sorry, missed the "honor system advertising technique" when I sighned up. That was my third post on here. My only intent was to offer a resource for information, not promote a guide. Now I know better than to add information about anything that might be industry related, but isn't a direct sponsor of this site. Thanks for making that clear.
09-08-2002, 08:58 AM
Thanks for the reply Nailknot -
These reminders are not intended toward people but toward the posts for the sole purpose of spreading the word. We will investigate other ways of getting the message across than the announcements which don't seem to get read.
Glad to have you on board Nailknot!
09-09-2002, 04:05 PM
Thanks for all the advice guys! It looks like the Silver fishing may take be more productive than steelies. I'm leaving on Thursday....I'll post a report upon my return.

Over 100 immigrant rights supporters assembled on the steps of San Francisco’s City Hall on Tuesday, July 14. It was a different kind of political event. There were no banners, no list of demands and no loud passionate speeches. Not on this day. It was a time to express their profound collective sadness over the senseless murder on July 6 of 32-year-old San Francisco resident Kathryn Steinle.
December 24, 2014
With President Obama’s recent executive action on immigration and the mass protests throughout the country against the grand jury acquittals of police officers Darren Wilson and Daniel Pantaleo for the killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, it is more important than ever for Black and Latino communities to confront racism and the oppressive structures that deny our fundamental humanity and divide us into those who are worthy of justice and those who are not.

On Aug. 29, the California Assembly approved AB 885 by Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, passing a milestone measure to limit trial misconduct by prosecutors. The bill would allow judges to inform a jury when a district attorney has been found to have intentionally withheld significant evidence. The bill’s next step is to go to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk.
May 13, 2014
Today the Fifth Circuit has ruled that Texas may not proceed with the scheduled execution of Robert Campbell, a man whose lifelong mental retardation was not proven until new evidence, long hidden by prosecutors and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, very recently came to light. According to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2002 decision in Atkins v. Virginia, he is ineligible for the death penalty.

Lorenzo “Cat” Johnson continues his fight for freedom. He is an innocent man serving a sentence of life imprisonment. In Pennsylvania a life sentence means just that. There is no parole, no release until you are carried out feet first or win a reversal of your conviction. And even then the struggle is to definitively defeat the prosecution’s unceasing efforts to reconvict and re-imprison.

Part 1: On July 8, all of us will be participating in the hunger strike in support of the five core demands and also to contest our own living conditions and treatment here in Fresno County Jail (FCJ). Part 2: After nine days on the hunger strike, the administration here at FCJ wanted to end the strike and met our demands. At the time the administration had us on a modified program, now we have full program.

For the second week in a row, one of the largest audiences for any show on KPFA was disappointed not to hear the People’s Minister of Information JR Valrey and his Block Report on the air Wednesday at 8 a.m. Instead we heard an announcement by interim general manager Andrew Phillips that JR has been suspended. Getting punished for doing “too well” happens to Black folks much too often. Sign the two petitions to end the suspension of JR Valrey from KPFA and attend the Town Hall Meeting, Thursday, April 11, 6 p.m. at Laney College. This story is constantly being updated with new signatures and comments.

I hope PrePay users read their email closely. Otherwise they may have missed the alert that the I/O Ventures-backed merchant loyalty and payment app is closing down and any prepaid credit will evaporate at the end of the year. PrePay got you discounts at local businesses by paying up front. You could get $100 of credit for $75 at your laundromat. But no more. You can’t buy credit or add recommendations anymore, and the whole service will go dark on New Year’s Eve.
[Update: We’ve heard from the company. Some of this article is wrong. Here’s what’s going on, in the company’s words:
* Balances are not going to be wiped out
* All that’s changed is that you can’t buy new credit
* Refunds are going to be given starting January 1, 2013 so that our users have a chance to use all their credit, which includes the free bonus credit they receive every time they purchase credit
* There are no social sharing options hidden at checkout, it’s under settings, it’s off by default, and is only for Facebook]
PrePay made a big push to sign up local businesses over the last year, especially in San Francisco. But it invoked my ire with its spammy social sharing system.
See, sharing to your connected Facebook accounts happens by default when you pay. You can opt out, but the buttons are on the final screen before your payment goes through — the screen where you hand your phone to the merchant and they punch in their code and confirm. So unless you opt-out before you hand over your phone, the merchant accepts the payment and all your friends find out you spent $40 for wash-and-fold rather than doing your own laundry.
The mobile merchant payment space has gotten awfully crowded, too. LevelUp, Venmo, and a host of other small startups, Pay With Square, and soon Apple Passbook. Maybe it was a lack of traction, the looming competition, the founders’ hearts weren’t in it, or they just wanted to pursue something else.
Regardless, it could have more prominently announced it plan to fold at the end of 2012. No tweet, no Facebook Page update, no blog post (it doesn’t have a blog), and it doesn’t even warn you when you open the app. There was just the email, and a tiny “CLOSING: 12/31/2012” line of text on the merchants listed in your wallet.
That’s pretty irresponsible considering you have a PrePay balance for each merchant, and could have anywhere from $25 to hundreds of dollars sitting in their accounts that will be vaporized in 4 months. Data portability is becoming a big deal for content startups when they shut down. Payment startups should take even more care to make sure they don’t leave users high and dry.

Cuba is the safest country in the western hemisphere (and possibly the world) for foreign travelers, despite the recent reports of health incidents affecting U.S. diplomats in Havana. In addition to taking thousands of Americans to the island since 1998, Cross Cultural Journeys has led trips to over 30 countries around the globe over 3 decades, and we can say this with complete confidence.
I visited Havana in late September to assess both the impacts of the recent hurricanes on the island and the security situation for travelers, as well as to attend a conference of RESPECT (Responsible Ethical Cuba Travel), a new association of U.S. providers of travel services to the island. I can happily report that the storm damage was minimal. By now you would be hard-pressed to find any sign of Hurricane Irma whatsoever. And as for security, I don’t believe our travelers are in any danger at all.
We strongly support this statement from RESPECT calling on the U.S. State Department to reverse its warnings to American travelers and return all of its staff to the embassy in Havana. None of the half million U.S. travelers to Cuba this year have publicly reported any similar incidents. No other country has issued similar warnings to its citizens. FBI investigators invited in by the Cuban government have found no evidence of any sonic device that could have caused these incidents. And numerous sonic experts have questioned whether such a device even exists. Even the union representing U.S. diplomats opposes the administration’s actions on Cuba.
We believe the White House is doing this to win political points in Miami and turn back the clock on the opening started by the Obama administration. It’s time to stop playing politics with our freedom to travel and end the embargo of Cuba for real. In the end, it’s the Cuban people who will suffer the most.
Please share this message with your family and friends: Cuba is a perfectly safe, legal, and fun place to visit. The best way to support the Cuban people, and send a message to the White House, is to exercise your right to travel and visit Cuba yourself. We’re happy to help.
As a leader in legal group travel to Cuba, Cross Cultural Journeys has taken hundreds of groups to the island since 1998. All the trips listed on our Cuba page are still perfectly legal. Please share this email, and our blog post on “Frequently Asked Questions about Cuba Travel” with your friends.

Even families that cook dinner from scratch have those days when there’s nothing to eat. The fridge is close to empty, and the physical and emotional resources required to cook up something from scratch are totally depleted.
We turn to the freezer in hope of a microwavable miracle. But when even the leftovers from previously prepared feasts are absent, we reach out for a prepared meal purchased skeptically a month or two ago.
In the last 50 years, food manufacturers have seen a surge in demand for what was once called TV Dinners. And in recent years, as our nutrition awareness has grown, new brands of frozen meals have been developed to provide “healthy choices.”
Today we’ll take a look at ConAgra’s opportunistically named Healthy Choices brand, with a product called Cafe Steamers Grilled Chicken Marinara.
What you need to know:
The single serve chicken breast, pasta and broccoli florets in marinara sauce look pretty good in the picture on the package. The 10 oz serving is to be heated in a microwaveable packaging that mimics the effect of steaming. Steaming is a preparation method that requires little to no oils, unlike a saute. You each can be the judge regarding the flavor.
The numbers on the nutrition facts panel look promising – only 270 calories, 21 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and only 4.5 grams of fat. The sodium content is 550mg, a quarter of the daily max. That’s high but not as high as most other fat meal solutions.
Below is the lengthy ingredient list.
We’ve highlighted the ingredients one would use at home when preparing this dish. We’ve underlined additives that we don’t think regular folk have at home.
Cooked Penne Pasta (Water, Durum, Semolina [Enriched with Niacin, Iron (Ferrous Sulfate), Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid], Egg Whites), Garlic and Pepper Seasoned Chicken Tenderloin Chunks, Chicken Tenderloin, Water, Garlic and Pepper, Chicken Seasoning [Salt, Sugar, Dehydrated Garlic, Spices Including Paprika, Maltodextrin, Soy Lecithin, Chicken Broth [Contains Flavors], Xanthan Gum, Caramel Color, Natural Flavor], Olive Oil, Isolated Soy Protein Product [Isolated Soy Protein, Modified Food Starch, Starch, Carrageenan, Soy Lecithin]). Broccoli, Water, Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Contains 2% or Less of: Full Moisture Parmesan Cheese (Cultured Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Enzymes), Brown Sugar, Onions, Garlic, Salt, Canola Oil, Modified Food Starch, Spices, Potassium Chloride, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid.
While none of the underlined additives is inherently bad for you, their purpose is to provide the flavor and texture of a home cooked dish served straight from the pot. They “cheat” our senses to believe we are getting a better food than we actually are.
Don’t know about you, but I want the flavor of my dish to come from the chicken and the veggies, not from an additive called “Natural Flavor”.
By the way, On the Healthy Choice website, they’ll gladly boast their nutrition info, but the ingredient lists cannot be found. Sneaky and deceitful. The company says it’s because product formulations change occasionally. Oh, that’s the reason …
Bottom line: From a nutrition perspective, this product is probably less worrisome compared to other frozen meals. That said, eating it shouldn’t be a daily habit.
What to do at the supermarket:
Minimize your purchase of processed frozen meals and try to prepare your own. For rainy days, choose options that have mostly recognizable ingredient lists, that are low in sodium (less than 500mg), and are low in sugar (less than 6g) too.

Elder Cook was born September 1, 1941 at Lehi, Utah
to Clarence H. Cook and Myrl Johnson.
“I've always felt like a missionary,” said Elder
Gene R. Cook, as a member of the First Council of the Seventy.
Missionary work began for him when he was 12 years
old. One night his older brother came home from MIA and told him how his
teacher had talked about the importance of testimony and having one of
your own. “My brother told me that he wanted to get one, and he began to
fast and pray,” says Elder Cook.
“After witnessing the spiritual experiences in our
family and my brother's life during the following week, I knew I wanted
to get a testimony too. I began to read the Book of Mormon, and early in
First Nephi I began to get those profound spiritual feelings. I read that
book many times before being called as a full-time missionary. When you
know it's true, you have to share it. I started by working on my young
friends in Mesa, Arizona, to help them read the Book of Mormon and gain
At the age of 17, Elder Cook was so anxious to be
a missionary that he was called on a stake mission as junior companion
to an older missionary. The next year he was assigned to be the senior
companion to a 17-year-old friend whom he tried to teach how to be a missionary.
After that he served a full-time mission in Uruguay-Paraguay
under Elder J. Thomas Fyans. “Elder Fyans gave me training in leadership,
and it was a time of much growth and learning,” says Elder Cook. Since
then Elder Cook has held many other positions in the Church, including
Regional and Mission Representative of the Twelve, counselor in a stake
mission presidency, and one of the seven presidents of the quorum of seventy
in his stake.
Elder Cook was graduated from Arizona State University
with a Master of Business Administration degree. He worked as an insurance
salesman, manager, and field trainer and was a member of the Million Dollar
Roundtable his first year in the insurance business. But, despite his success, he began to feel restless
and to ask himself what he was really doing with his life. “It just wasn't
enough,” he says. After much private contemplation he felt directed to
move his family to Utah. Subsequently,
he began to work for the Church Personnel Department. “The Lord put
what I had learned in the insurance business to good use.”
Among other callings Elder Cook worked as executive
secretary to the Missionary Executive Committee and the First Council of
When President Spencer W.
Kimball interviewed him about serving as a Seventy, he asked, among other
questions, if Elder Cook was willing to sacrifice all he has for the rest
of his life, even to sacrifice his life, for the gospel. “I was thrilled
to be able to answer his questions affirmatively. President Kimball also
asked about my wife, Janelle, and if she could answer the same questions.
I didn't even need to ask her. She understands the order of the priesthood.
She is truly characteristic of great LDS women — totally willing to follow
direction and totally trusting of me as her priesthood leader in the decisions
we must make. I can't do this alone. You know, even though it's right,
it isn't easy for a young wife when you have committed especially your
weekends for the rest of your life to your Church assignment.” Elder and
Sister Cook had four children: Tray, Travis, Terrel, and
“What led me to this point in my life more than any
other thing is that I gained a witness so early,” he said. “When you know
it's true, you desire to live it with all your heart and you've just got
to share it.”
Scarcely a year after his call to the First Council
of the Seventy with the reorganization of the First Quorum of the Seventy
after a dormancy of many years, Elder Cook was called to the First Quorum.
Elder Cook was released from the First Quorum and named General Authority Emeritus with a vote of gratitude for services rendered over many long years on Saturday October 6, 2007 at the 177th Semi-annual General Conference.

We raise cattle as part of our livelihood, and a few of them pasture behind our house on a rye field during the winter. One of my “jobs” is to break the ice and fill the tank with water each day. On the way to perform my daily chore, I pass by a pond between our house and the tank.
A few days ago the pond was frozen over, so the geese and ducks that are usually there were enjoying themselves somewhere else. I wondered where they go when their favorite pond is frozen over – and I wondered what little bit of comfort they have when it is 10 degrees out.
All this led me to think about Kim’s wonderful, comforting, and yummy Mac and Cheese – a great comfort food for lots of people I know. However, my family is not into Mac and Cheese all that much. Odd, you say? It took me the whole walk to figure out the comfort food dishes my family requests. After all this pondering, I thought over the next week or so I would share our comfort food with you.
One of my family’s favorites is Spaetzle, a German noodle dish that takes awhile to make but is very easy. I think comfort food not only is yummy and smooth, but also tends to have a little emotion to it – a memory associated with it. Our family has traveled in Central Europe some over the years (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), and thus how our love of Spaetzle began. Germans don’t just make the Speatzle and eat it – oh no, they add sautéed onions and soft cheese and maybe some sautéed mushrooms. I try to have it almost every day when I am visiting there.
Although I had never really thought of it this way before, I guess Spaetzle is the Europeans’ version of Mac and Cheese. In honor of Kim and her love for Mac and Cheese, I made our family’s comfort food last night and thought I would share it with you. Maybe we like it because it is different, who knows?
Give it a try sometime when you want to try something with an international flavor that is different totally carb loaded! You don’t even need a Spaetzle maker, just a ziplock bag!!! (Instructions follow the recipe)
Here’s to comfort food in whatever country you are living in or visiting!
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 3 cups flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 cup milk
- Gallon Ziplock bag
- Romano or Asiago cheese
- Sauté your choice of items. We do mushrooms and onions always. Set them aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. When water is heated and close to boiling, mix the eggs, flour, salt, and milk together.
- Whisk the flour and salt together. Add the milk and eggs and stir until combined.
- Take a gallon ziplock bag and poke 12 -14 holes with a toothpick or skewer in the bag at one corner. Space them out about every ½ inch or so. Then, place the dough in the bag and push down to the corner where the holes are. Take the air out of the bag and zip it shut (helps prevent a mess!!).
- With the bag over the boiling water, squeeze some dough so it comes out of the holes.
- When the little Spaetzle (or dumplings) are 2 – 3 inches long, take a knife and run along the bag to loosen them from the bag and drop into the boiling water.
- Boil them for 3 – 4 minutes as they float to the top of the water. Put maybe ⅓ of the dough into the water at one time.
- Once all are to the top, take them out with a strainer or spoon and place on some paper towels to drain.
- Repeat with the next ⅓ of the dough and then with the remaining dough.
- Once all are cooked, take the skillet that you sautéed the onion and add a little butter or olive oil and heat. Then place the spaetzle in the skillet and lightly brown.
- Take your plate and place your spaetzle. Top with some of the onions or mushrooms or both. Sprinkle with some Romano or Asiago cheese and enjoy!!!
- It may seem like a lot of work, but really it isn’t. You can even sauté the onions and mushrooms earlier in the day and then just heat at the end.

I spent today doing interviews and working on a column for our Super Bowl special section that will appear next Sunday, so will dash off some quick notes:
— The 5,000 volunteers who will staff various Super Bowl venues plus the local airports are picking up their gear this week and undergoing final training sessions both in San Francisco and the South Bay. Each volunteer who passed the NFL’s background check (not sure what that constitutes–flash cards to see if they can identify Roger Goodell from Roger Staubach?) will receive a SB50 rain jacket, two polo shirts, a backpack, a hat and a poncho. They will be asked to wear their own black pants but can purchase a pair from Levi’s at a discount, said one source familiar with the volunteer program.
— The SB50 volunteers will be briefed specifically on their immediate tasks but also on the entire Bay Area’s Super Bowl template, especially those people stationed at SFO, SJC and OAK. Some volunteers will also be provided ipads loaded with information about the region and SB50 activities, in case a visitors’ question needs a more detailed answer than a volunteer can give. The South Bay briefing will occur at Plaza de César Chávez and the San Francisco briefing near the Super Bowl City site along the Embarcadero.
— Anyone driving past the San Jose State football practice fields on Humboldt St. on Monday surely noticed a crew installing some new turf. It will be used by the Carolina Panthers next week when the team holds daily workouts at SJSU. The turf installation was tentatively planned after San Jose State’s team had several rainy/muddy practices in preparation for its Cure Bowl appearance last month, but the official go-ahead decision was made after NFL officials visited the SJSU football complex last week.
— Even though the Panthers will essentially take over all of San Jose State’s football complex, Spartan coaches will still occupy their offices in the Simpkins Stadium Center throughout next week with the exception of two staff members whose office doors opened directly onto a corridor that leads to the locker room. Things could be especially interesting and crazy on Wednesday, Feb. 3, which is National Letter Of Intent day for all NCAA football schools. The San Jose State coaches will be accepting commitments from high school recruits as the Panthers practice outside their doors. Presumably, head coach Ron Caragher will then host a news conference to announce the commitments, though likely after Carolina’s players have departed the premises.
— My blog post Sunday questioning the widely-heard figure that a million people will visit the Bay Area for the Super Bowl received some decent attention and a clarifying response from the very able SB50 Host Committee vice-president of communications, Stephanie Martin. She wrote in an email: “The number we share is we anticipate 1 million people to come through Super Bowl Week events throughout the region, and that number would include both visitors and residents. This is the way we’ve always shared it so don’t want people to be confused. And correct, we’d anticipate around 200,000-225,00 in out of town guests as you note.”
— So that’s fair enough. I did not mean to imply that the NFL or host committee was bleating out the “million visitors” figure as a blatant lie, just that for some reason that figure surfaced at some point over the past few months and has been perpetrated by various media outlets as an accepted fact.
— Although not to be snarky, I did find this sentence in a San Francisco Chronicle column from last year: “Joe D’Alessandro, president of San Francisco Travel, says his agency is expecting more than 1 million tourists for the week.” D’Alessandro is a member of the SB50 host committee advisory group.
— Sorry. I guess that was snarky. Onward to further SB50 craziness and clarifications. Stay tuned.

When you are researching the various internet service option available to you, you will likely come across the terms FTTN and Cable. Both types of internet options have pros and cons. Though the two options are different they both can be a good choice for your home. To know what the best choice for your home it is important to know the differences. This article will detail what FTTN internet and cable internet are in order to help you make the right choice for your needs.
The acronym FTTN is short for Fiber to the Node or Neighborhood. Though this may sound confusing FTTN is simply the method of which internet service can be delivered to your home. FTTN internet is fiber optic internet. This means that the internet signal is transported to you through fiber optic legs made from glass.
Fiber optic internet is more efficient that traditional forms of internet delivery technology such as copper wires. In our previous article “What is FTTN Internet” we identified various forms of fiber optic legs and compared their deliver systems.
FTTN internet is fast and reliable and is a great choice for many internet customers. If you are interested in steaming or gaming then fiber optic internet is likely a great choice. FTTN internet may not be available in every area but you may instead be able to utilize a different fiber optic leg option. You can check out our High Speed Internet In Ontario Coverage section to see if you are covered for FTTN internet.
This type of internet service delivers internet to customers within a certain geographical distance, often the size of a neighbourhood. The internet service is sent to a hub and is then sent to the customer through DSL or cable technology.
This type of internet service closes a bit of the gap between FTTN. There is less distance between the home of the customer and the “curb” which is typically a closet such as the green boxes you may see on a residential street. The curb itself is not an actual street curb in front of the customers home.
If you are familiar with cable television, then you likely already have a good understanding of cable internet. Just like cable television, cable internet uses the same copper wire technology to send an internet signal from your service provider to you home.
With cable internet the speed of your internet will likely vary due to your location as cable internet speed relies on bandwidth. There are many factors that can affect bandwidth including your personal internet package, your neighborhood internet usage and your own personal data usage.
Cable internet is a good option for many people, and it is often easy to add a cable internet subscription to existing cable television packages. Because provides are able to bundles services cable internet is often a cost-effective option while still providing great service.
The best reason to choose FTTN internet is that it is fast and reliable. Though there will be variances between what is offered in your location fiber optic internet is a great choice. If you are someone who wants to stream or participate in online gaming then FTTN is likely a good choice for you.
Though it may seem that FTTH sounds like the best option it is not always available. It is true that FTTH will give you the best performance you should not discount that FTTN technology is both fast and reliable. You will likely be very satisfied with the reliability of an FTTN internet connection and will be able to rely on it.
Now that you understand the difference between FTTN and Cable internet you might still be wondering, which one is right for me? There is no quick and easy answer to this question as that will depend on a few factors. You will need to consider the available bandwidth; your personal internet needs as well as the availability of the internet service type for your area.
If you are a frequent gamer or streamer you will of course need a fast internet connection. If you don’t need the fastest internet than a simple more affordable package may be a perfect fit for you. Your internet usage needs will have a lot to do with which option is best for you.
At POYNT360 we are committed to finding you the best internet option for your usage and budgetary needs. By speaking with one of our customer service professionals we will be best able to help you find the right fit and get you the fast and reliable internet service you desire.

It’s very admirable to see Nestlé, a company previously villified for its negative contributions to public health, now paying Fairtrade prices for its raw ingredients. However it must also be reassuring to the farmers that the UK government has backed this move. Surely, for the good of the nation’s health, they should be discouraging consumption of chocolate, putting more taxes on it and reducing sales, thereby reducing the Fairtrade revenue of developing world farmers. Good thing for them that our ethics mix better with finance than our public health system.
I’m not against Fairtrade at all, but chocolate bars being cheaper than a piece of fruit is not an effective way to impact on the developed world obesity epidemic.

Question after question, the library and computing center staff writing the responses don’t directly address the question, and offer annoyingly vague and unhelpful answers that can never lead to a successful resolution. What do I mean by this? The answers either restate the current policy of the library, or say ‘our hands are tied,’ or ‘we’ll consider this in the future.’ The Trinity community cannot hold the library responsible to these answers – there’s no metric by which we can evaluate success, and thus, no success is likely to be achieved. Let’s take a look at some of the questions and answers:
- Switching Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps.
- Computing Center Response: Many educational institutions have moved student e-mail services to Google, and we’ve been monitoring the success of these. Although we have concerns associated with administration and security of data, Google continues to make upgrades and improvements that address many of these. We are planning to re-evaluate the use of Google Apps for Trinity this coming fall.
- My response: Who’s going to evaluate the switch? How are you going to evaluate the switch? Is there going to be any participation across the Trinity community? What exactly are your concerns? Google Apps for educational institutions is completely free. In the collegiate vicinity, Wesleyan and Connecticut College both use Google Apps. As I wrote in an SGA blog post recently, Google even released a tool to migrate all Microsoft Exchange information to Google Apps seamlessly. As has been pointed out before, the library (and the college) could save so much money by not paying licensing fees to Microsoft, server costs, and the additional labor costs of IT administration. This would be a boon for Trinity. Seriously, Google Apps would save us a boatload of money. Check out this website, designed to calculate the costs of Google Apps for businesses, to get an overestimate for the costs for non-profit Trinity.
More printing dollars, printing too expensive, more printers around campus, system slow, printers jam.
- Computing Center Response: We are currently evaluating all components of the printing system (printing hardware, print release stations, and print payment software) to determine if there are ways to make the printers more error-free and shorten the time to print. We do not expect to be able to allocate more funding for printing at this time, but we are working with the SGA to determine ways of keeping printing costs manageable while still providing the service.
- My response: Again, what is the evaluation process? “We are working…” is a non-answer answer, since “keeping printing costs manageable” is meaningless if you cannot lower the costs. With the money you could save by switching to Google Apps, you could easily give every student unlimited printing and fix every problem associated with printing. We may decide against unlimited printing for environmental reasons, but you could at least increase it back to $25 again. This could eventually have a Google-centric solution too. Just this morning, I was reading about a new Google project to develop a cloud-based printing system, Google Cloud Print, in conjunction with Google’s new operating system, Chrome OS. The system works both with Chrome OS and other operating systems. While the project is still early in development, Google has released the code and documentation as open-source. With the fast pace of development of Google projects, this could eventually be used by Trinity.
- Open up entrances to the building, especially the long walk doors; find turnstile alternatives; too many non-Trinity guests at night.
- Library Response: The current building entrances and access policies have been designed to protect 1) the students, staff, and faculty who work in and use the library, and 2) the equipment and collections contained within it. We are attempting to achieve a balance between allowing students the freedom to come and go when they please, and ensuring the safety and security of students and their belongings when they are in the building. At this time, we cannot open up any more entrances without sacrificing a degree of security, but as we plan for building improvements in the coming years, we will bear in mind the desire for easier access.
- My response: I concede this is a difficult problem. But this post doesn’t identify the specific barriers to changing student access to the library. The Level B entrance is currently opened through an RFID scanner, as is the Level A entrance after library hours. Why can’t this system be implemented in the inner doors on the main quad? This system has costs, but I’ve already identified serious cost-savings which could also pay for this. And unlike other costs, this is a one-time expense. This potential entrance is not staffed as the Level A and B entrances are, but neither are the Level A and B entrances staffed at night. It’s less clear what the barriers are to opening up the glass doors around the main stairwell. There has not always been a turnstile at the main entrance – this was only added in the past few years. I do not have the answers to make the layout more efficient – but these issues must be explicated further, something not accomplished by this response.
- Enable rooms used for guest lectures (McCook, Washington room, etc.) easy video and audio recording and make recordings available online on the Trinity website or ITunes U (so they can be watched on an IPhone).
- Library Response: Lectures cannot be taped without permissions from the lecturer, and there are many lectures and events that occur on campus every year. So, at this time we record lectures only upon request. To request that a lecture be taped, please contact Media Technology Services (http://www.trincoll.edu/Academics/AcademicResources/media/default.htm.) Recorded lectures will then be placed on a server for viewing as streaming video.
- My response: What about iTunes U? This response makes no mention why we can’t do this. It is a great promotional tool, not only for taping lectures, but also for uploading all kinds of student creative output. Student music groups could (and do, at other colleges) upload music directly to iTunes U for distribution. Trinity could offer both a selection of videos from Trinity courses, and guest lectures. The requirement of a permission form is not a major impediment to this. Right now, students and professors have to be knowledgeable about and actively seek out this form and Media Technology Services. The use of the service and form could be advertised and made the default option for major lectures.
- Creation of a Trinity wiki?
- Computing Center Response: Anyone with a Trinity login can create a personal wiki at http://personal.trincoll.edu. Once logged in, use Site Settings to allow others to edit and view your wiki. This wiki will be viewable only by people with Trinity College logins that you have given permission to access.
- My response: A personal wiki defeats the purpose of a Trinity-wide wiki. I don’t want a wiki on personal.trincoll.edu/personal/wyale! I want a wiki on wiki.trincoll.edu! “Given permission to access?” The idea is that everyone is able to access it!
Not mentioned in any of the questions or responses was that Blackboard could potentially be eliminated through the switch to Google Apps also. This is a far more complicated transition because we currently run the administration of Bantam Bucks through the Blackboard Commerce system. The Blackboard website, however, could completely be substituted with Google Apps. I’m unfamiliar with Moodle and what role it could play in this transition.
This is a long post, I know, but I have only focused on a fraction of all of the comments submitted and responses received.

Kelly Reichardt’s films have a way of sneaking up on you, of lulling you into a false sense of boredom or tranquility and then suddenly you’re pondering the inherent nature of capitalism or the uncertainty of life as we know it. She’s not known for diatribes or soap box filmmaking because she’s far too subtle to be known for either of those things. Her ability to tell her audience so much in a single, lingering shot is somewhat unparalleled. Some call her pretentious or ponderous, I call her an auteur. “Auteurism” has become something of a dirty word among cinephiles who think people need to be reminded that filmmaking is a team sport. Filmmaking is a team sport, but every team has a captain or a coach. Auteurs are the greatest team captains working in Hollywood, and Reichardt can count herself among them.
Her latest film First Cow just might be her best. It’s a leisurely western about two stragglers (John Magaro, Orion Lee) on the frontier, both with big aspirations but little money or property to realize them. They bond over biscuits and whiskey and soon find themselves stealing milk from a local scion (Toby Jones) to support a thriving little business selling oily cakes at a nearby trading fort. This wealthy man is the only man in town with a dairy cow (a picturesque female named Eve), one shipped all the way from Europe, and he’s taken a liking to these cakes and these two men in particular. They must tread carefully or suffer the wrath of such greedy men who regard lashings as motivation for the weak and destitute. Out of desperation, they don’t always tread carefully and perhaps some decisions come across as inorganic, too scripted for a film that otherwise avoids anything remotely contrived. For his part, Jones has made a recent career of fine-tuning a pompous villain, the quiet menace and clueless money, and his Chief Factor is no different.
Reichardt uses silence better than almost anyone and here it’s used to highlight the unspoken affection between Cookie and King-Lu, the aforementioned stragglers. Magaro and Lee make an endearing couple of wayward men, penniless yet no less capable of greatness. Their friendship is the backbone of the film, the heart and soul to occasionally distract us from a subtext that is quite aggressive and even pessimistic, if not exactly unrealistic. As she has done throughout her career, Kelly is subverting our starry-eyed American myths, laying bare our whitewashing of history and the founding of our country. Through Cookie and King-Lu’s inevitable conflict with the local scion, she is taking to task the unfortunate realities of unfettered or unruly capitalism. Those with less means are forced to make moral concessions to get ahead, and then suffer the consequences at the hands of those who have means, who were born with a silver spoon and often engage in far worse moral concessions.
Male filmmakers have reaped the benefits of auteur pedestals in the film business. It’s only fair that female directors be afforded the same benefits. Forgive me for stating the obvious: “Auteurism” is not a dirty word, but a designation for those with a singular vision and assortment of talents, tricks, and habits that reveal themselves film over film. What a peculiar coincidence to find such a word is verboten at precisely the point in time at which female directors are finally getting more opportunities to compete with their masculine brethren. From Wendy & Lucy to Meek’s Cutoff, Night Moves to First Cow, she has consistently asserted herself as a woman of gentle touches and grand political gestures. She’s one of the few with an excellent handle on both subtlety and subtext. She’s the definition of an auteur, and First Cow is her most eloquent evocation yet of an anti-capitalist ethos.

The USDA knows this. I think deep down you know this, too. We are your children and grandchildren. We are the people whose ancestors’ lands were stolen that keep returning to the countryside against the odds. The gay pride slogan “We are everywhere!” is actually true. Many of us are already here, and even more are coming on out to the country.
Last week, Melissa Alice wrote an article with the title “US Department of Agriculture to Replace Conservative Farmers With Lesbians.” News about the U.S. Department of Agriculture partnering with Cindi Lauper’s True Colors Fund in providing programming for their “Rural Pride” events around the country circulated rapidly after conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh devoted a tangent to the subject, saying “I never before in my life knew that lesbians wanted to be farmers. I never knew that lesbians wanted to get behind the horse and the plow and start burrowing. I never knew it. But apparently enough money [can] make it happen, and the objective here is to attack rural states.”
I generally ignore most of the vitriol Rush Limbaugh puts out into the world, but Limbaugh said the USDA’s investment in new, young, queer farmers was an attack on rural states. I’ve spent the last five years researching rural homelessness in the United States. The laundry list of things that are “attacks on rural states” (or rather on the people who live in rural states) is long.
They include high housing cost burdens, limited employment options, poor funding of public schools, remotely isolated and under-funded social and medical service providers, and the consolidation of wealth and land and political power in the hands of a relatively small number of people. Childhood poverty and hunger, always a fixture of life (including rural life) in the U.S., has expanded under the corporate consolidation of farming and the reduction of rural industry such as paper production with no viable industry to replace it.
Lesbians are not the source of any one of these attacks on rural people in rural states.
The working, health, and living conditions of the migrant workers that tend to and harvest our food is deplorable. The last decade has seen gas companies poisoning rural people’s only source of drinking water— indigenous activist in North Dakota just put their lives on the line to stop oil companies from traipsing oil through their water source.
These attacks on the lives of rural people, especially rural people of color, rural kids and rural queer people (who are more likely to experience these challenges and often experience them most severely), originate from a variety of sources. Lesbians are not the source of any one of these attacks on rural people in rural states.
A couple weeks ago, right about when the USDA was starting their Rural Pride tour and Rush Limbaugh started talking in way too much detail about lesbians plowing things, I was on the USDA website. I, a queer masculine dyke, a lesbian if you will, am in the process of buying a small farm. I didn’t go to the website because of the USDA’s rural pride tour; I went because I was wondering about grant options for new farmers.
My wife and I planned on buying a house in a small city with my mother in law—we were going to grow vegetables in the yard and homestead in suburbanish space. But then we realized that we could pay less for a lovely place with 4 acres and old barns and big skies just a half an hour away from the liberal node we were planning on living in. And I could come “home.” Not to the place I grew up in, but I could come home to a rural community ― home to dark skies where I can see the stars. Home to the smell of manure and one-finger waves on the steering wheel to each car I pass.
I grew up in a rural community in northwest Ohio. In the late ‘90s, right about when Matthew Shepard’s homophobic murderers were pinning him up to a fence, I came out as gay. And it sucked. Not being gay—that was awesome. But fear of queer death, of being murdered or harmed because I am gender-non-conforming and date women, kept me living in big cities my whole adult life. But
I didn’t want that rift with my community of origin—I felt in exile. I felt like I was not living out my purpose in this world. And I suppose this is why Rush Limbaugh thinks there are no lesbians in rural areas and President Obama is recruiting lesbians to ruin rural states. I guess he thinks that the hate that he and his fellow pundits peddle has successfully fed the rural-urban pipeline of queer rural people up and out of rural areas if we got out alive—if we didn’t commit suicide as teenagers, if we had someone to give us a ride into the city and another to let us start life over again on their couch. But they never did scare us all out. A lot of people stayed out of choice or necessity. A lot of people, like me, are deciding to return.
Let me give you a snapshot of the rural and food producing lives of three lesbian or queer couples, since you seem to have not noticed my friends in the store or at church or just driving along the road:
Rush Limbaugh and his followers like to pretend that they don’t recognize bias and discrimination... But of course they recognize it—they stoke it and expand it...
Jenn lives on the land she grew up on in Paducah, Kentucky. She lives with her partner Leabeth who moved from out of state some years ago to be with Jenn. They live on Jenn’s parents’ farm. They both work off farm jobs (like most farmers) and help her parents with the farm work and care for the parents as they age. Jenn, Leabeth and Jenn’s Momma are fierce competitors in the canning competition at their county fair every year, brandishing pictures of their stacks of ribbons on Facebook. Jenn said that some people in town, the more artsy types, call Leabeth her partner; country folks call Leabeth her wife and “some church folk” she says “they say friend and that’s fine… because they still call Leabeth momma’s other daughter.”
Maia and her wife rent a rural plot of land in Sonoma County, California. Maia grew up in rural Sonoma County, but spent much of her adult life living in Oakland and Berkeley. When I met them they were living in an apartment in Oakland, California and they were tired: tired of the grind of the city life, tired of violence in their faces every day, tired of a high cost of living. As queer Black, Indigenous, and Latinix people they sought out rural land to produce food on, yes—they have chickens for eggs and a vegetable garden—but the land is also as a source of nourishment and healing from the displacements, violence, and dispossessions that moved and continue to move them, their families, and their ancestors off of land. They want to buy and farm more property in Sonoma, but housing and land prices in the San Francisco Bay Area continues to outpace the average person’s ability to buy any land or house at all.
Bridget* and Isa* live in Efland, North Carolina. Bridget grew up in rural Michigan raising rabbits, hunting, and fishing for meat. Like me, she left the place where she was raised with no intention of returning but always longed for space to raise her own food. She and Isa have what they call a little “farmlet” on rented land where they grow vegetables, sell chicken eggs, and raise chicken and pigs. They’re looking around for that perfect piece of land settle down on and expand their farm.
The 2007 USDA Census of Agriculture noted that the percentage of farm operators below 45 had dropped 14 percent, while the percentage of farm operators over 65 has grown by 22 percent. This country needs a new population of farm operators. It needs people who are interested in sustaining and growing rural communities.
Avert your eyes in order to adjust to our bright light if you must, but USDA grant or no, we’re planning on staying and bringing our friends with us.
Each of the couples I highlighted above are already there doing the work of sustaining and growing rural communities. The USDA’s job is to support and invest in the production of food in this country. There is no conservative political mandate. By encouraging rural queer and transgender people to stay and connecting them with information about financial resources to do so the USDA is acknowledging what is right in front of them: people with the desire and skills to grow food and communities.
When I went to the USDA website last week, I found that if we sell at least $1000 in our first year of farming, we will be eligible to apply for a grant to help fund the building of a hoop house to extend our growing season and therefore sell a few more vegetables. That’s a gay agenda if I’ve ever seen one!
Rush Limbaugh and his followers like to pretend that they don’t recognize bias and discrimination against transgender, queer, immigrant, indigenous, Black, Asian and Latinix people. But of course they recognize it—they stoke it and expand it and use it to prop up their own fame and fortune.
I don’t think that Rush Limbaugh is a farmer, and he doesn’t live in western Massachusetts where my wife and mother in law and I will be nesting into our farm. But if he did and his cow got out and wandered up my driveway, I would call him and meet him out front as he came to get her. I’d be standing there with my estrogen-informed features and short hair and squared off “man”-clothes right next to my too-bright-for-your-mortal-eyes fierce femme wife and our oddly dressed oddly named kids. Maybe my mother-in-law would wander out to see what all the fuss is about. There’s really no mistaking us.
We are prodigal daughters and sons and chickens come home to roost. Some of us are the daughters and granddaughters of the farmers whose land we are living on. Avert your eyes in order to adjust to our bright light if you must, but USDA grant or no, we’re planning on staying and bringing our friends with us.

Characters: The Kaiju Queen
Name: Carvella Riley
Height: 5'5" (as a human), 60' (as a kaiju)
Weight: 140 pounds (as a human), 40,000 pounds (as a kaiju)
Hair: Black (as a human), none (as a kaiju)
Ethnicity: Black (American of African descent)
Known relatives: Danny Riley (husband, deceased)
Education: Nursing degree from the University of Shelby Medical School, diploma from Shelby High
Aliases/nicknames: Vella, The Kaiju Queen, Mother of Monsters
Distinguishing characteristics: Aside from her massive scale, her mutation created long braid-like extensions from her head that she can extend and control mentally like tentacles.
Skills/abilities: Carvella is unusual as kaiju goes, able to adopt and retain characteristics of other kaiju she has encountered and eaten. She likewise possesses the ability to detect and track kaiju from hundreds of miles away, differentiating between each one. At the time of this writing, she can hyper compress her skeleton to slink through sewers, make nine foot tall duplicates of herself of limited intelligence, detect/decipher/receive/transmit digital and radio signals and spontaneously grow reptillian wings and fly for as far as a hundred miles at 250 miles per hour, then shed the wings at will. She can lift (press) 100 tons (five times her own body weight). Unlike most kaiju, she has full possession of her facilities and can speak clearly.
Best known for: A mysterious series of murders
Place of birth: Shelby City
Marital status: Widowed
First appearance: Project Wildfire: Street Justice
Brief personal history: Carvella Riley was used to getting her way.
Curvy and smart, she'd used her looks and her intelligence to manipulate situations in her favor since childhood. She chose nursing because she wanted a career where everyone knew how wonderful she was and her natural intelligence meant that the field wasn't very difficult for her to master.
She met banker Danny Riley when he broke his arm bicycling and ended up in her emergency room. She gave him every opening and he took it, and they were married inside of a year. Their marriage bored her but provided the big house and nice things she felt she should have, until the Wildfire Contagion took root in them two years after the wedding. Suddenly, Carvella could see that some people were different, and looked like food. She resisted until Danny began to change into a kaiju as he slept, and she gave in, tearing his throat out and spending most of the night eating him. By morning, she had grown to be twelve feet tall and gained his kaiju ability to compress her skeleton.
Setting up a cover story of a spontaneous romantic getaway, she set the mortgage on auto pay and destroyed the cars in the yard, using their former home as her nest, hunting would-be kaiju at night. Along the way, she kidnapped an IT tech from her job who'd been nursing a crush on her for years, forcing him to do her bidding.
Finally, she grew too large to maintain the charade and struck out, beginning a campaign of terror that she felt all too justified to engage.

In a statement today, the company said the $5.1 billion line has a proposed initial capacity of two billion cubic feet per day. Gas producers in this area are seeking Asian markets for the heating and power plant fuel, and subject to government and corporate approvals, the line can be expected to begin operation in 2018.
Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned energy company, is on record saying a final investment decision on the export terminal, with an estimated cost of $9 to $11 billion dollars, is expected late next year. According to today's statement, Progress Energy Canada, which was purchased by Petronas last month for $5.2 billion dollars, selected Calgary-based TransCanada to build the pipeline, which will also be capable of expansion to 3.6 billion cubic feet per day.
We're also told TransCanada has plans for an extension of its Nova Gas Transmission pipeline to reach additional gas supplies in the North Montney region. At a cost of $1 to $1.5 billion, that pipeline could begin operation in 2015.

As the clock points exactly at 12:00 AM – November 3, the hackers started posting websites they claimed to be defaced.
Those affected websites are of Candon City in the province of Ilocus Sur (candoncity.gov.ph), a Local Government Unit website (braulioedujali.gov.ph) , Third district of Laguna (3rddistrictoflaguna.com ), Municipality of Bansud (bansud.gov.ph ), Gloria municipality (gloria.gov.ph) and the Southern Philippine Development Authority (spda.gov.ph.)
What can be observe in the deface pages by the hackers is that, those were the same defacement used by “Anonymous Philippines” when they urged to call the Filipino citizens in joining the Million Mask March last few weeks ago.
A video encouraging the citizens in the top, the transcript text in the middle of the black background page with whom appears to “guy fawkes” in the right side and the anonymous Philippines rotating logo in the bottom.
Like us on Facebook, and we will keep you updated of today’s hacktivism by anonymous Philippines.
Complete list of defaced websites available in our pastebin post.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Age Recommended: 12 and up
This book had an interesting end but I found majority of the content repetitive and I felt that most of the book was about a girl crying about losing her friend and fawning over a guy.
Meredith’s world is turned upside-down when her best friend Anjali dies. Anjali was in the hospital for a few days before she passed away but nobody truly believed that she would die until the reality of the situation hit them.
Meredith still hasn’t accepted that her best friend is dead and she is bent on writing letters to Anjali in hope that she will respond to one eventually. Moreover, a girl that Meredith and Anjali both disliked is still picking on Meredith. Before, Anjali would stand up for the two of them but now there’s nobody to protect Meredith from her taunts.
Also, Noah, a boy that the two girls had a crush on is suddenly noticing Meredith. She doesn’t know what to do about this and she is puzzled when he almost asks her out. However, she hears that Anjali was Noah’s secret boyfriend and when Noah confirms it, she breaks down completely.
Meredith believes that her whole life has been a lie…

Actress Hilary Duff was seen carrying her son Luca, nearly 1, outside Babies First Class in Sherman Oaks, Calif. on Wednesday (March 6). The following day, the pair were spotted heading into a playdate at a friend’s house.
Haylie, 28, also tweeted, “Swimming with my Seester and Luca. Favorite way to spend an afternoon.”
While he’s still learning how to swim, Luca has recently learned how to walk.
“Well, I officially have a walking baby on my hands!” Hilary announced on Twitter last month. “It’s hilarious . . . the wobble makes it look like he’s 3 drinks in!”View Slideshow »»

The last two years remind me of running in the San Diego Marathon. It was a brutally hot event. At the starting line, race organizers distributed salt packets and issued dire warnings to slow our pace – or face the consequences.
Ambulances and EMS workers were stationed along the route as a grim reminder. Many runners posted a DNF (did not finish) as the conditions knocked them out.
For those in the skilled trades/service sectors, the last two years have produced similar brutal conditions. If you are still running the race, that’s awesome. I’m guessing you’ve slowed your pace to make sure you can finish. But maybe it’s time to speed up.
There’s good news from a key sector. The Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Expo (AHR Expo) was a major success, drawing more than 54,000 participants in its first-ever stop in Las Vegas, Jan. 31-Feb. 2. You can read extensive coverage of the show here.
The Expo, co-owned by the Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute and American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers, usually pulls such huge numbers only when the industry is really booming. The big turnout is a sign the industry is returning to health.
Either that, or those wild and crazy engineers succumbed to the temptation of their first-ever AHR Expo in sin city. Whatever the cause of the strong attendance, it was a pleasant problem to have to fight through crowds to visit booths.
There were nearly 1,200 booths to visit. I only had time to visit a handful. Here are a few highlights.
If you are in the skilled trades, or an engineer, architect or service provider, I encourage you to visit BNP Media’s Moving On Web site. You’ll find more than 30 success stories from pros like you explaining what they’ve done to excel during the economic downturn. They’ve “moved on” from negative thinking and found niches and sweet spots to assure their continued success. See for yourself at www.bnpmedia.com/movingon.

If you have bought into Big Wildlife’s ‘invasive species crisis,’ and believe that eradicating and poisoning of ‘invasive’ species of plants and wild animals are based on science, or benefit ecosystems including wildlife and habitat, you need to hear “The Rest of the Story.”
David I. Theodoropoulos directs the Las Sombras Biological Preserve in La Honda, California and is the author of Invasion Biology: Critique of a Pseudoscience the first comprehensive refutation of invasion biology. His talk “Invasion Biology — Science or Pseudoscience?” provides a brief overview of invasion biology’s scientific failings, and current scientific perspectives on invasive species.”
Theodoropolous traces the disaster of current practices and offers common sense alternatives that benefit wild animals and terrestrial and marine habitats.
For a detailed analysis of how these eradications and poisonings are affecting animals specific to far-West Texas, including Desert Bighorn Sheep, Go Here , or click the topic tags appearing below and alongside this piece.

Rasmus Ruusunen made significant strides and improved his overall game in 2019-20. At the start of the season, he was the best forward for HIFK U18 in several viewings. He was quickly promoted to the U20 team and looked comfortable playing in the league as a 16-year-old. The 5’11” winger is a multifaceted player who plays with a lot of pace. He is a strong skater with a quick first step. He uses fast acceleration to catch opponents and take away their skating space, he backchecks well and plays the body when needed. He has a quick shot and he can shoot in stride. A good stickhandler with smooth hands, he can operate with the puck in small spaces and plays well on the cycle to extend possession. He has a lot of upside and he is only going to get better as he gains overall strength in the next few years. Ruusunen won’t be eligible for the NHL Draft until 2022 due to his late birthday, but he has already shown intriguing traits and potential that could make him a sought-after prospect.

First Wizarding War
Crabbe was a Death Eater during the First Wizarding War and was loyal to his master up until his downfall. Around the downfall of Voldemort, Crabbe and his wife had a baby boy, Vincent Crabbe, who would be educated at Hogwarts from 1991-1998, and he became friends with Gregory Goyle and Draco Malfoy. Crabbe then declared that he had been under the Imperius Curse to avoid Azkaban after his master's downfall.
Second Wizarding War
Crabbe was one of the few Death Eaters who returned to Lord Voldemort when he rose to power again in 1995. Voldemort was displeased when he learned that Crabbe didn't attempt to find him, but he forgave him.
Battle of the Department of Mysteries
During the Second Wizarding War, Crabbe participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996, and was paired with Rabastan Lestrange during the pursuit of the six D.A. members. He went with Rabastan to try and capture Harry, Hermione, and Neville, who were hiding in the Time Chamber. His part in trying to find them ended shortly; he was Stunned by Harry, and Crabbe fell and knocked over a grandfather clock. He was likely imprisoned in Azkaban, but re-escaped in 1997.
Battle of Hogwarts
During the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998, Crabbe's son Vincent (who had also become a Dark Wizard) died by the effects of his own Fiendfyre curse. Crabbe's reaction over his son's death is unknown. Crabbe fought at the Battle of Hogwarts too.
Crabbe was presumably imprisoned in Azkaban after Voldemort's final defeat.
Behind the scenes
- It is not specified if Crabbe attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Crabbe was played by most-likely by Paschal Friel or possibly by Philip Rham.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game) (Mentioned as 'dad')
- LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Notes and references
- ↑ See this interview; “Samantha: Was Snape the only Death Eater who could produce a full Patronus? J.K. Rowling: Yes, because a Patronus is used against things that the Death Eaters generally generate, or fight alongside. They would not need Patronuses.”
- ↑ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 4 (Horace Slughorn) - Horace Slughorn: You'll be Gryffindor like her, I suppose? Yes, it usually goes in families. Not always, though.

Me – Where are you staying?
Traveller – Poblado, you?
Me – Actually, La 70. If you are here for a while and want to live like the locals it seems to be an area where Paisas (people from Medellin) live and party
Traveller – (Laughs) Why would I want to live near locals?
This is a typical conversation had with ‘party’ traveller. They stick to the party hostel circle and then tell you the city is crap. He should want to spend time with Paisas, it is claimed that the women are the most beautiful women in the whole of Colombia, even South America! They also would take offence to this rejection as, according to our walking tour guide (more below), they think very highly of themselves. This is down to their historical advancements in the coffee trade and industrial revolution – they’ve always seen themselves a slightly superior!
Granted, we’ve only had three days but here is our Medellin itinerary, Colombia’s ‘real’ city.
Real City Walking Tours
What a dude Pablo is. And by Pablo I mean, the guy that runs Real City Walking Tours. Not the criminal with the same name, he was a horrible man. I had a conversation with a Kiwi and some Aussies in the back of a truck on the way back from The Adventure Brew Micro Brewey Tour in La Paz. The ‘know it all’ Kiwi was discussing how cool Pablo Escobar was… He had tunnels from his house all over the city of Medellin. What a legend! What an idiot that Kiwi was, he needs to take a visit to Medellin and meet Pablo and Carolina who run this four hour walking tour to get some perspective, Netflix has a lot to answer for.
Wait until he hears that Carolina’s family had to flee Medellin when her uncle was kidnapped and later murdered. Or about Pablos’s uncle, he was outside Pablo’s Gran’s house while his gran was knitting on the balcony as Gran’s do. She looks down from the balcony and sees men pull guns out on his uncle, her son. Luckily his fate was better than Carlona’s uncle’s and his life was spared. Pablo told us that it is normal for most families to have a story like this, everyone has been touched by what was initially a civil war between the right and left which resulted in a war between the right, left, drug barons, the army and rebels. Everyone in Colombia felt the impact but Medellin being the epicentre, the people here suffered more.
Why The Real City Walking Tour is Awesome
The guides take the group around Colombia’s second biggest city (and man it’s big, population of 2.5 million) by foot and stop at important areas to give you information filled with passion and emotion. It’s a surprise to hear that Pablo has an engineering background and not Broadway!
Stops include Plaza Cisneros (Plaza of Lights) which, Carolina proudly tells us, is an example of Medellin’s programme of regeneration called Democracy Through Architecture aka “Urbanismo Social”.
And Parque Bolivar – one of Pablo’s favourite places because you see the ‘real Medellin’ where old men sleep on benches, kids play on bikes, young people smoke illegal substances, couples enjoy an ice cream and drunk people sip on mentholated spirits (!) Colombians like to ‘salsa’ between both sides of good and bad! Does Parque Bolivar look familiar? You may spot it in the Netflix, Narcos scene when Escobar is talking to his cousin.
Love a good stare! They come up to the circle during information time and often interrupt the team to ask what they are saying. Hilarious! They are also ecstatic that you have chosen to go to Colombia.
This guy in the photo joined the tour for five minutes, stood up and shouted ‘thank you for coming to Colombia.’ And he was not the first. Sober and drunk people alike acted this way. In Scotland, if someone shouts anything, don’t make eye contact! You’ll never get away from them.
‘Our country is flooded by myth’ says Pablo and he wants your questions to break down the stereotypes and challenge his knowledge. A traveller says she read that Escobar built lots of hospitals, not a fable Pablo has heard before. He debunks this and admits that yes, he built about 200 houses which is nothing when you look at how many people live in Medellin. Did he provide lots of jobs? The jobs provided were ones of violence – young boys trained to be soldiers, security, extortion. Didn’t the drug money benefit Medellin? Only 3% of the gross income of the city is from drug money, so no, states Pablo. And it doesn’t account from the amount of damage the cocaine trade did to Medellin through bombings, guns shots and the threat to democracy. Politicians and judges had to flee for their lives if they spoke up. Many would have taken backhanders out of fear and/or greed. Some are still in power today hence the lack of presence about real Medellin’s ‘painful past’ in the education system.
Pablo finishes the tour at San Antonio Park, I don’t want to steal his thunder as
- You must now book your tickets to Colombia
- Put Medellin on your itinerary
- Book onto The Real City Walking Tour
…but here he shows you the horror of his childhood/teens and compares it to the hopeful future of Medellin through the artist Fernando Botero. Unfortunately 25 people had to die twenty years ago to give his analogy strength.
Those living in extreme poverty has halved (16% to 8%) and Colombians remain the happiest of people that we’ve met in our three months of travels!
- Times: 9.14am or 2.24pm
- Meeting Point: The north ticket booth of Alpujarra Metro Station
- Cost: Tips
- Contact: [email protected]
- Advice: Book early as sells out fast (we have no affiliation with this tour, just loved it)
Medellin Itinerary – Accommodation
There is no shortage of accommodation in Medellin. We visited Poblado, where most people stay but I’d say it’s just an area with bars which have prices comparable to any city in the UK. If you are looking for the real Medellin then your hostel of choice is The Wandering Paisa. Proudly, its slogan is ‘the other side of Medellin’ and it is situated close to LA 70 which has lots of local bars (local prices!) and restaurants on it.
Here’s us enjoying cheap sangria on a Sunday. Check out this list of drinks in Colombia for more authentic local options!
Remember everything is connected by the metro (Estudio is your nearest stop). Medellin were playing a semi final (football) the day we arrived so we couldn’t resist drinking sangria in the sun with the Paisas at a ‘bar local’ which was showing the game. They came from behind to win, the atmosphere was electric!
The Wandering Paisa is owned by two North American lads from Seattle but we never met them. Gisela, a Paisan, was our main point of contact and she couldn’t have been more helpful. She gave us an extensive map (Craig’s favourite ever) created by Paisa Road, it was extremely helpful and neatly packaged so you don’t obviously look like a tourist. We decided to cook most nights since we were next to an Exito supermarket (why is the service so slow?!) and Wandering Paisa has a decent sized kitchen and facilities. And for once we stuck to it, well done us!
We also took a salsa class (free) with other guests. I say ‘we’, Craig had to bow out after ‘basic’ step one, he claims Scottish men don’t have enough rhythm…especially after seven beers! I also got lots of blogging work done due to the good WiFi (gearing up for no WiFi in Cuba for three weeks!)
And most importantly for Craig – the shower was hot! We’ve had two weeks of cold showers which is great in the Caribbean heat but Craig says it’s no use for washing soap off hairy men like himself.
- Address: Cl 44A # 68A-76, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia
- Contact: +57 311 3342729
- Cost: £5.83 – £13.91
Thanks to The Wandering Paisa for our stay, as always an honest review.
Metrocable – Cable Cars
Do like locals do in ‘real Medellin’ and hop on the cable cars (from Santo Domingo Sabio metro station)! For 2000 COP / 50p you can go anywhere in the city using the metro and cable cars (like the ones in La Paz, Bolivia). This was part of the Education with Dignity policies which aimed to improve the future of Medellin, opening up access from the outskirts to the city. Do like gringos do and pay the 10, 000 COP / £2.52 to take the additional line over the park. It takes 25 minutes in each way and is bonito (beautiful).
We really loved Medellin and are keen to return (maybe live?) With a population of 2.5 million we can only pretend to present the real Medellin in three days but we hope you can add to our recommendations in the comments below…
Going to Medellin?

The Mayor of LeRoy, Greg Rogers, has officially proclaimed National Jell-O Week! Jell-O was invented in LeRoy in 1897 and was manufactured in town until 1964. In 1997, the Jell-O Gallery was opened by the LeRoy Historical Society to celebrate America’s Most Famous Dessert. In 2001, the State of Utah declared Jell-O the official state snack and the second week in February as National Jell-O Week. At the time, the people of Utah consumed the most Jell-O per-capita than any other state. A year later, Utah welcomed people to the Salt Lake City Olympics with Jell-O pins and an exhibit about Jell-O.
National Jell-O Week is the second full week of February. Stop in the Gallery for specials each day! Here is a list of daily specials!

When the frameless glass shower door in your bathroom won’t close, it can be a major inconvenience. Not only does it look unsightly and leave you feeling exposed when someone is in the room, but it also lets out steam which can lead to mold growth over time. You may think that fixing this problem requires calling an expensive technician or replacing the entire unit altogether, but there are actually some steps you can take yourself to get your shower door back on track.
In this article we will discuss how do you fix a frameless glass shower door that wont close without breaking the bank. The first thing to check is if any of the components have become loose or misaligned due to wear and tear or improper installation. If so, all you’ll need is some basic tools such as pliers and wrenches along with replacement parts for whatever has been damaged – these can usually be purchased from hardware stores or online at reasonable prices.
Next, make sure all of the tracks are free from dirt and debris buildup; use a vacuum cleaner attachment if needed to ensure everything’s clean before proceeding further.
If you own a frameless glass shower door and it won’t close properly, don’t worry – there are some easy fixes that can help restore the functionality of your shower. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to fix a frameless glass shower door that won’t close so you can get back to enjoying your showers in no time!
The first thing to do is assess what type of issue is preventing the door from closing properly.
It may be due to an issue with the track or rollers, or perhaps the hinges are not aligned correctly. If you determine it’s an issue with the track or rollers, then it’s likely caused by dirt and debris buildup which needs to be cleaned away using a soft brush and mild cleaner. Once clean, lubricate both sides of all moving parts (rollers, tracks etc) with a silicone based lubricant for smooth operation.
You should also check if any screws have come loose over time as these may need tightening in order for everything work correctly again. In some cases where alignment issues appear to be causing problems when trying to close the door this could mean the hinges need adjusting slightly – start by loosening each screw on each side of one hinge at a time until they move freely (you only want them loose enough so that they can move). Then try closing and opening the door slowly before re-tightening each screw firmly but not too tight as this could damage them further.
Repeat for other hinge(s), if necessary, until desired alignment/position achieved – remember patience is key here! Finally double-check all screws are tightened up securely at least once more before testing out your newly fixed doorway; hopefully now you’ll find much smoother operation when sliding open/closed!
How Do You Fix a Shower Door That Won’T Close?
If your shower door won’t close properly, it can be a major annoyance in the bathroom. Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to fix the issue and get your shower door back on track. Here’s what you need to know about fixing a shower door that won’t close properly.
The first step is to identify the cause of why your door isn’t closing correctly. In many cases, this will be due to improper installation or wear and tear over time. If the issue is related to wear and tear, then you’ll likely need to replace parts of the mechanism such as rollers, hinges or tracks which support sliding doors.
You may also need to adjust any misaligned parts that could be causing a blockage for smooth operation of the door panels when closing them together.. Once you’ve identified where any issues lie with your shower door mechanism, it’s important that all components are thoroughly cleaned before attempting any repairs or adjustments – dirt build-up over time can contribute significantly towards malfunctioning doors!
Use warm soapy water and a cloth or brush if necessary; dry off each part once they’re clean before proceeding further with making repairs/adjustments etc.. When replacing damaged components such as rollers & hinges etc., make sure purchased replacements match up exactly with those removed from their original positions – measurements should be taken carefully of existing fittings beforehand just in case! Also ensure screws used for re-attaching new pieces are tightened securely but not too tightly otherwise this could damage internal mechanisms (which would require more extensive work).
How Do You Adjust a Frameless Shower Door?
Frameless shower doors can add an elegant and modern touch to any bathroom. However, if they are not properly installed, adjusted or maintained, they can be prone to misalignment and leaks. Fortunately, adjusting a frameless shower door is relatively simple and straightforward.
Here’s how you can do it: 1) Start by inspecting the frame of the door for signs of damage or wear-and-tear. If there are any issues with the frame, it will need to be replaced before you proceed with adjustments.
2) Check that all screws and bolts on the hinge side of the door have been tightened securely – this should include both top and bottom hinges as well as any mounting brackets used for installation. 3) Adjusting your frameless shower door requires two people; one person should hold onto the handle while another uses a screwdriver to adjust the screws on both sides of each hinge in order to make sure that they line up perfectly when closed (you may want to use a level here). As you go along, check that gaps between panels do not exceed 1/16th inch at their smallest points – if they do then further adjustment will likely be needed until everything lines up correctly again.
4) Once everything has been adjusted correctly and checked thoroughly for misalignment or other problems, reattach all hardware components back into place using screws provided with purchase (if necessary). You may also choose to apply silicone sealant around edges in order to ensure watertight closure after each use; this will help prevent water from leaking out over time due excessive movement caused by everyday usage. That’s it!
By following these basic steps you should now have a fully functioning frameless shower door which looks great while providing years of reliable performance without worry about potential leaks or issues associated with improper alignment/installation techniques!
How Does a Frameless Shower Door Stay Closed?
Shower doors are an important part of a bathroom. They provide privacy, keep water from splashing outside the shower and make it easier to clean up after using the shower. Frameless shower doors have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their sleek design and modern look.
But how do frameless shower doors stay closed? The most common way for frameless shower doors to stay closed is through the use of magnets embedded within the door’s track and frame. The magnets create a strong force that holds the two pieces together when they come into contact with each other, keeping them securely shut even under pressure or movement of air currents in the bathroom.
This type of closure can be adjusted as needed depending on how tightly you want your door to close, making it easy to customize your bathroom experience according to preference and convenience. Another way that frameless showers can stay closed is by using heavy-duty hinges or latches mounted onto both sides of the door frame itself. These types of closures allow you to manually adjust tension between both sides so that they remain firmly shut whenever desired – no electrical power necessary!
These hinges also offer additional security thanks to their ability withstand any physical force applied against them from either side; this makes them ideal for high traffic areas like bathrooms shared by multiple people or children who may try pushing open an unlocked door without success. Finally, some frameless showers feature self-closing mechanisms installed directly into their frames which automatically pull them shut after being opened for a set period of time (usually about 15 seconds). This ensures that any water leakage out onto surrounding surfaces will be kept at bay while also allowing users access without having worry about remembering lock it afterwards!
While these types closures might require more effort during installation than those described above, they are often preferred due their extra layer security provided when used correctly – especially if there young children present in home environment where safety should always come first!
Do Frameless Shower Doors Need Seals?
When it comes to installing a frameless shower door, the question of whether or not you need seals often arises. The answer is yes – frameless shower doors do need seals for a few reasons.
The first and most important reason is that having seals around your frameless shower door will help keep water from leaking out of the enclosure when in use.
This is particularly important if you are using an overhead rainfall-style shower head, as water can easily splash out without proper sealing at the edges of the glass. Seals also act as insulation against cold air coming into your bathroom while providing soundproofing benefits so you won’t hear every noise happening outside your bathroom while inside relaxing in peace and quiet. Another major benefit of having seals on a frameless shower door is that it provides additional structural support for the glass itself.
Frameless showers are held together by large pieces of tempered glass that rely on heavy-duty hinges and clips to stay in place; however, even these sturdy materials may still move slightly over time due to temperature changes or shifting floors/walls in older homes — this could potentially cause gaps between adjacent panels where air and moisture could enter, leading to mold growth or other issues down the line if left unchecked. By adding rubberized gaskets along each side panel, it helps hold them tightly together which prevents any potential movement from occurring over time and keeps everything sealed off tight with no risk of anything getting through those tiny gaps! Finally, many people find added aesthetic appeal when their new frameless showers feature clean lines all around instead of bulky metal frames covering up part (or all) of their view — especially those who have chosen to invest in high-end designs such as frosted glass paneling or etched detailing — so having sealant present makes sure nothing detracts away from this beautiful look!
Frameless Shower Door Sagging Repair
Frameless Shower Door Not Closing Properly
If you have a frameless shower door that isn’t closing properly, it can be an extremely annoying issue to deal with. Not only is it difficult to keep your bathroom clean when the door won’t close all the way, but it also puts your family at risk of water damage and even injury if someone were to accidentally walk into a partially open shower door. Fortunately, there are some simple fixes you can attempt in order to get your frameless shower door back on track.
The first step is figuring out why the door isn’t closing properly. A common cause for this problem is due to misaligned tracks or hardware components. To check for this problem, start by examining the hinges and tracks of your frameless shower door; look for any signs of wear and tear as well as any dirt or debris that may be obstructing movement.
If everything looks clear but still doesn’t move correctly, try adjusting the tension screws on both sides of the hinge so they fit snugly in their holes without being too tight or too loose – this should help improve closure alignment between them and allow smoother operation of your frameless shower doors. In addition to issues with hardware components, another common reason why a frameless shower door might not close properly could be due to missing pieces like rubber gaskets or clips which help keep water from leaking outside of its frame when closed shut tightly – these are usually found around each side of where glass meets metal framing and should never go missing! Without these parts in place, water will find its way through small gaps causing dampness inside bathrooms leading up potential mold growth over time if left unaddressed!
Make sure all pieces are intact before moving onto other solutions such as replacing worn out silicone sealant along seams (this will create better insulation against moisture).
Framed Shower Door Not Closing
If you’ve ever had the problem of a framed shower door not closing properly, then you know just how frustrating and inconvenient it can be. Fortunately, this is an issue that can usually be resolved quickly and easily with just a few simple steps.
The first step in fixing your shower door is to identify why it isn’t closing properly.
The most common cause is that the frame has become misaligned or warped over time due to water damage or general wear and tear. If this is the case, simply adjusting the frame may solve your problem. To do so, use a flat head screwdriver to loosen the mounting screws on either side of the frame until they are slightly loose but still secure enough for support.
Then close the door and check if it lines up correctly with both sides of the doorway; if not, adjust accordingly until it does. Another potential cause could be warping due to humidity levels within your bathroom; this tends to happen more often during humid summer months when moisture accumulates in enclosed spaces like showers and bathrooms. In order to counteract this effect, make sure ventilation in these areas is adequate by opening windows or running fans as needed – doing so will help regulate temperature levels inside your home as well as reduce humidity buildup which should ultimately improve how well your shower door closes each time you use it!
Finally, if neither of those solutions work then there could potentially be something wrong with either one (or both) of your hinges – they might need oiling or replacing altogether depending upon their condition after inspection from a professional technician who specializes in such repairs/replacements (if necessary).
Shower Door Not Closing at Bottom
Most people don’t think much about their shower door until it stops closing properly. If you have a situation where your shower door isn’t closing at the bottom, there are several possible causes and solutions. Let’s take a look at some of the most common issues that can cause this problem and how to fix them.
One of the main culprits is debris or dirt getting caught in between the door frame and the gasket that runs along its edge. This will usually cause an uneven seal which prevents proper closure of your shower door. To remedy this issue, use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to remove any dust or dirt from between these two components before cleaning it off with warm soapy water.
You may also need to lubricate any moving parts like rollers and hinges if they appear worn down or stuck in place due to rusting or other damage caused by moisture exposure over time. Another potential problem could be misaligned hinges on either side of your shower door frame – especially if you just recently installed it yourself without professional help! Check each hinge individually by loosening its screws slightly while observing how easily (or not!) they move when adjusting them back into position; then tighten all screws securely once everything is aligned correctly again for secure closure every single time!
Finally, if none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to replace either your gasket seal or even both sides of the frames depending on what type of material was used during installation – for example aluminum vs plastic frames etcetera – since wear & tear over years can affect their condition too eventually leading up towards needing new ones altogether unfortunately… Nevertheless though, make sure always double check everything else first before deciding which route would be best suited as sometimes just simple DIY fixes such as mentioned above might do wonders already instead!
Frameless Shower Door Hinges Problems
If you have a frameless shower door, you know how sleek and stylish it can look in any bathroom. But there are some problems that come with owning one of these modern doors. One of these issues is the hinges used to hold the glass panels together.
Without proper maintenance, these hinges can malfunction or even break down completely, leaving your shower door unusable until they’re repaired or replaced. The most common problem with frameless shower door hinges is corrosion due to exposure to moisture and humidity inside the bathroom. Even if your bath has a good ventilation system, tiny amounts of water vapor can still get in and cause rusting over time as well as weakening joints between parts like pins and screws on the hinge assembly itself.
To prevent this from happening, regular inspection should be done for signs of corrosion such as discoloration or flaking off paint from metal surfaces around the hinge area before it becomes more serious issue where replacement may become necessary instead of just basic cleaning/maintenance task. Another issue with frameless shower door hinges is misalignment which occurs when two different sections don’t line up correctly either on top/bottom edges or side edges when closed shut – this typically happens after frequent use due to wear-and-tear on pivots points over time but also because adjustable screws holding them together aren’t tightened enough initially (during installation). The solution here would be simple – just adjust those screw tightness accordingly so both panels will align perfectly again without any gaps left open while simultaneously checking whether all other mounting hardware pieces are intact & secure too!
In summary, taking care of frameless shower door hinges requires regular inspections for signs of corrosion and misalignment along with occasional tightening adjustments whenever needed; otherwise they might give out unexpectedly leading not only uncomfortable situations but also costly repairs that could’ve been avoided altogether through preventive maintenance measures mentioned above beforehand!
How to Adjust a Pivot Glass Shower Door
When it comes to the bathroom, one of the most important features is a properly functioning shower door. If your pivot glass shower door has become loose or won’t close properly, you may need to adjust it. This can be a simple process if you know what to do and have the right tools.
Here is how to adjust a pivot glass shower door: 1) Start by removing any screws that are holding the hinge plate in place on both sides of the frame. Use a screwdriver for this step.
2) Next, loosen all four screws located at each corner of the hinge plate with an Allen wrench so that they can move freely up and down within their slots in order to adjust them. Make sure not to remove these screws completely as they will still need some tension when tightening back up later on in this process. 3) Now it’s time to test out which way needs more adjustment—inward or outward from its current position?
Move one side of the hinge plate either inward or outward until movement stops at either end (this should be done very slowly). After doing this, try closing and opening your door again; if there is still an issue then repeat step 3 but move that same side further than before until desired results are achieved (note: make sure not to over-tighten). 4) Once adjustments have been made successfully, use a level tool or ruler placed against both sides of your frame in order for accuracy during reassembling; tighten up all four screws while making sure everything lines up as straight as possible before moving onto fixing other parts such as handles/knobs etc..
5) Lastly, secure any remaining necessary components using appropriate screws/hardware items per manufacturer instructions prior finishing off this task by testing out newly adjusted pivot glass shower door! By following these steps carefully and accurately you should now have successfully adjusted your pivot glass shower door!
Shower Door Won’T Stay Closed Magnet
If you’ve ever experienced a shower door that just won’t stay closed, then you know the frustration of having to constantly push it shut. The cause is most likely related to your shower door’s magnetic closure system. Shower doors typically use magnets along the edge of the door and on the frame in order to keep them securely closed when not in use.
Over time, these magnets can become weakened or loose, causing them to be unable to hold the weight of the glass and allowing it to swing open again. Fortunately, fixing this issue is relatively straightforward and easy as long as you have a few basic tools on hand! The first step is identifying which part of your magnetic closure system needs replacing.
You will need to remove any trim pieces around your shower door so that you can access both sides of its frame. Once exposed, look for two metal plates on either side with small magnets embedded into them; these are usually held together by screws or bolts depending upon their age and model type. If one or more plate has come off from its mounting point then this indicates that it needs replacing – fortunately replacement parts are widely available online or at hardware stores near you!
Once you have identified which parts need replacing, simply unscrew/unbolt each plate separately from its associated side before taking out any old magnet (if present). Use a screwdriver if necessary but make sure not to over-tighten otherwise it could damage the new part(s) during installation – take care here! Next up is installing your new magnet: ensure that each metal plate has been carefully aligned before pushing down firmly onto its respective mounting point until secure; repeat this process for every magnet being replaced (there may be multiple).
Finally replace all trim pieces back onto their original positions so they cover up any exposed edges – job done!
How to Fix a Shower Door That Has Dropped
If you have a shower door that has dropped, it can be frustrating and difficult to fix. Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to get your shower door back in proper working order. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Inspect the Track System The first step is to inspect the track system of your shower door. Look for any signs of wear or damage that could have caused the issue, such as loose screws or rusting parts.
If you find anything that needs repair or replacement, make sure to take care of it before going on with the rest of the process. Step 2: Adjust The Hinges Once you’ve inspected the track system and made any necessary repairs, move on to adjusting the hinges that connect your door frame and glass panel together.
You may need a wrench or screwdriver depending on what kind of hinge setup you have; loosen all screws until they easily slide but don’t let them come out completely! Then adjust each one until all four sides are even with one another when looking at them from top down view in an open position (when closed should look like an “X” shape). Step 3: Re-install The Door Panel
With everything properly adjusted and tightened up again, re-installation is next! Lift up your shower door panel carefully by its edges – don’t force anything as this could cause more damage – then place into its home within the track system so that both ends fit snugly against their respective side walls without pushing too hard against other components (such as handle bars etc.). Once secure tighten all connecting screws/bolts according to manufacturer instructions and check for levelness again before closing completely – if not level then adjust accordingly once more before shuttering away!
Step 4: Test Out Your Shower Door Finally we get to test out our newly repaired shower door!
How to Adjust Frameless Sliding Glass Shower Doors
If you’re the proud owner of a beautiful frameless sliding glass shower door, you know how difficult it can be to adjust and maintain them. Fortunately, with some simple steps and tools, anyone can learn how to adjust their frameless sliding glass shower doors in no time.
First off, before attempting any adjustments on your own, make sure to read through the manufacturer’s instructions for specific details about your particular model.
Doing so will ensure that you don’t damage or void any warranties associated with your product. Now let’s get started! The first step is to identify the area where adjustment is needed: either at the top or bottom of the door frame; if both need adjusting then start at one end only and work towards the other end.
Once identified loosen all screws holding the track in place and remove them completely from each side of both ends using an adjustable wrench or screwdriver depending on what type of screws were used during installation (usually Phillips head). Next, use a level tool to determine whether there are any imbalances between sides – most likely there will be some kind of slight tilt which needs correcting by gently tapping on either side until they become even again (if necessary). Then re-tighten all screws while making sure they are not too tight as this could cause wear over time due to friction from movement when opening/closing doors.
Be careful not to overtighten as this may also cause damage such as cracking/breaking tracks/rollers etc… After that is done check for clearances around edges; if there are any gaps then use shims underneath track (or alternatively silicone sealant) until desired width has been achieved before re-tightening screws once more – remember that these should still remain loose enough for smooth operation but tight enough not slip out over extended period usage.
If your frameless glass shower door won’t close properly, don’t worry – it’s an easy fix! All you need to do is adjust the hinges and check for obstructions. First, make sure that the hinges are mounted correctly.
If they’re not, remove them and re-position them until they fit snugly against the wall and door frame. Then check for any obstructions that may be preventing your shower door from closing completely – like a buildup of grime or debris on the track or around the edge of the glass panel. Finally, once everything looks good, try to open and close your shower door a few times to test it out.
With these simple steps, you should have your frameless glass shower door functioning smoothly in no time!

On 16th of November 2017, the Second No-Ball Prizes were held. The event that some have called the sci-comm Olympics, (held, of course, in a London pub basement) kicked off with the two teams squaring up as Professor Sophie Scott (of the Ri Christmas Lectures) took her seat in the royal box....
I am part of a science communication/comedy/other group called the Talent Factory, based at the Wellcome Collection. After being taken under the wing of experienced comedian Dr Steve Cross, the Talent Factory members work together to produce interesting and fun science shows across the country (and beyond).
It was Steve's diabolical mind that created the No-Ball prizes, a quick fire improv science comedy battle with rounds such as; Powerpoint Mix-up, Being a Male Scientist on the Telly and Press Office Scandal.
After a shaky start, I almost began to enjoy to bizarre nature of the night, with ingenious answers and loose-ruled refereeing from the fabulous Charlotte Mykura, however the pressure began to ramp up when Oz and Alex went in for the kill in the Press round
Overall, the night was terrifying, inspiring and ridiculous, and made me visibly shake with nerves, something that I've never experienced before. As someone who has always been very at ease with public speaking, from very large crowds to small groups of moody teenagers, being quite this scared at the prospect of a show was a very new experience.
Our team won the event, and was presented with the traditional glowstick medal of honour by Prof Scott. I am very grateful to be part of such an exciting group of science communicators, creators and comedians, sharing reassuring phrases such as 'I think I'm going to be sick, I hate this, why did I sign up for this', Bell Taylor.
Working with the Camden Summer university and the Wellcome Collection
In the summer of this year I had the fabulous opportunity to work with the brilliant young people of the Camden Summer University, on a project called Urban Human, Urban Animal. Based at the Wellcome collection, the group of teens who are on the autistic spectrum, used cameras and mounting equipment to create stop motion films.
I was asked by filmmaker and educator Suzanne Cohen, to inspire the group with a short presentation about how taxidermy can be featured in art and science. Surrounded by the 'Making nature' exhibit in the Wellcome Collection, the group learnt how taxidermy is created, and what its uses have been throughout history. I also explained how certain preserved specimens can be used in different aspects of science, for example DNA extraction or morphological analysis.
My Masters thesis focused on the use of morphological characteristics to determine 'pure' or hybrid status of wildcats collected form around Scotland, and I discussed this with the group, how the assessment of dead and preserved animals can be useful when making decisions about their future conservation
The group were great at coming up with innovative ideas about taxidermy and how to create the films, and they used a selection of skulls from my collection, as well as 'human' creations like crumpled coke cans, to create a picture of co-habitation between humans and animals.
Overall I had a fantastic time working with the group, and I hope they all enjoyed the session, they definitely enjoyed handling the skulls!

wel i don't know how others have solved this problem, i am able to calculate the x, y and z coordinates of the object with a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC. There are two 90° triangles, one horizontal and one vertical. The horizontal ones hypothenus is the distance and the angle is bearing-azimuth. in the second triangle, the distance becomes the straight bottom line. Again, you have pitch here instead of azimuth, hypothenus is unknown but you know the bottom line which is distance. Once you have the straight sides of these two triangles, you have the x, y and z.
I have achieved this goal, and drawing objects on camera preview with opengl is ok too. I bond also the opengl model with orientation sensor. What i want to make is drawing a model somewhere in the world with gps soords, and go there and watch every details of this model even from 10cm. But translate doesn't work as i expected.

Color Art Project
Passion is the inspiration of this project.
Devotion for excellence, beauty, speed, colors and art.
Foglizzo, Pagani and Shalemar Sharbatly have one thing in common, passion.
The automotive industry is part of Foglizzo’s and Pagani’s DNA, where together they share constant challenge to exceed technical performances, pursuit of pure functional beauty and proud of their Italian craftsmanship. On the other hand, the colorful world of Shalemar Sharbatly, where the wild inspiration is tempered by a rigorous thought, perfectly matches with Foglizzo’s quest to offer the widest range of colors in leather. Even if there is not one universal definition of art, Foglizzo believes art is the conscious creation of something beautiful and meaningful using skill and imagination.
Sharing this idea with Pagani and Shalemar Sharbatly, Foglizzo is able to promote the creation of a “moving piece of art”.
On the occasion of the 76
“When I see cars painted in one solid colour I get this aluminum feeling inside me, I feel like I am walking amongst metal. I hate this feeling. Cars are big blank canvases. Why not exploit this space by transforming it into visual culture and use it to spread joy?”
– Shalemar Sharbatly
Horacio Pagani offered the unique Zonda S, known by the enthusiasts as world lap record for a homologated car around the Nürburgring in June 2002. The car is the perfect synthesis of technology and emotion, every single detail has a functional meaning, like the best design projects, but able to sublimate in a form that speaks the language of art and beauty.
Horacio Pagani began this adventure with barely any means. Until 1998 he funded the Zonda C12 project exclusively by himself, aware that no one would believe in such a challenge if he himself had doubted. The intention was to create a car so captivating on an emotional level that a customer would buy it without even thinking.
The car was supposed to have the sensual traits. Horacio thought of combining the sinuosity of a curvy woman with the aggressive look of a fighter-bomber, that is, the ultimate expression of speed, technology, exaggeration and engineering, taking as stylistic inspiration the cars of LeMans of the late 80s and early 90s.
The Pagani Zonda can be considered one of the world’s greatest super cars. While the Zonda does not have as long a history of sports cars, its speed and stylish design have made it a true instant classic.
With the help of D-Factory Italia, international wrapping specialist for cars (as well as aviation, yachting and interior design), the voluptuous shapes of the Zonda have been covered with a film to protect the metal sheets and create an immaculate canvas for Shalemar Sharbatly.
Shalemar is an internationally celebrated painter that introduced the art world to a new concept called “Moving Art”, an initiative intended to move art beyond the elitist walls of the gallery. Shalemar Sharbatly is focusing on turning everyday objects — like cars — into conceptual pieces that have been seen by millions and is a visceral idea of using art as a vehicle. Colors are the messengers of her art, she chooses colors to produce a certain mood or atmosphere, to create space, light, and shadow, or to introduce symbolic associations.
The first color pigments —a combination of soil, animal fat, burnt charcoal, and chalk—as early as 40,000 years ago, creating a basic palette of five colors: red, yellow, brown, black, and white.
Since then, the history of color has been one of perpetual discovery and the modern technologies brought colors which never seen before. Here, the vision of Shalemar meets the Foglizzo know-how, with the ability to create any shade of color for leather to meet their client’s requests. A process, the leather color matching, that is a delicate balance of scientific precision, skilled craftsmanship and humanistic sensibility, because Foglizzo’s final goal is to preserve the original soft touch of the leather, the durability and comfort while improving its inner beauty qualities.
THE FINAL ARTWORK
After 4 days of intense work Shalemar Sharbatly hand painted the entire Pagani Zonda S. The colors run from cool shades to warm hues, in a continuous flux of strokes and emotions that enhance the original shapes of the car. The final result is a piece of art which seems to embrace motion even when it staring in front of you, showing its outrageous beauty.

2015 Subaru Liberty and Outback receive five-star safety rating from ANCAP.
Subaru's new Liberty sedan and Outback SUV have both achieved a maximum five-star safety rating from ANCAP, passing the crash tests with scores of 35.99 out of a possible 37.
ANCAP said both vehicles' safety features, combined with their crash test scores met the requirements to be awarded the maximum safety rating, despite the absence of some safety features from local versions of both cars.
Daytime running lights and tyre pressure monitoring are available on overseas models, but not locally according to ANCAP. They also noted Subaru's 'EyeSight' collision avoidance system is optional on the Outback while coming as standard on the Liberty.
ANCAP Chairman, Lauchlan McIntosh said improved safety features should be available as standard.
"It is good to see safety assist technologies becoming increasingly available, but ANCAP encourages Subaru, and all other manufacturers, to include these technologies as standard in all models and all markets," he said.
The crash test reports also included data from Euro NCAP testing, which demonstrated both the Outback and the Liberty provided acceptable levels of pedestrian protection in the event of a front-on collision.

DEAR AMY: I'm a 25-year-old male, and I've been in what I think of as a "comfortable" relationship for more than two years.
Although I know my girlfriend is loyal and would make a wonderful mother and wife, I get stuck on some glaring traits, such as her lack of ambition and that she expects me to give her expensive gifts.
Basically, she doesn't understand the value of a dollar and the hard work it takes to earn it, but she always wants to spend it, and I'm not sure that will ever change because she was spoiled by her parents.
While I can imagine myself with her forever, I feel as though I'm "settling" and I don't know if I'm "in love" with her.
On top of this, I am often haunted by the thoughts of an old flame and friend of mine.
I know the whole lovey-dovey feelings often die out a bit after being with someone for an extended period of time, but I think of this other girl as a girl I've always loved (and yet I've never told her).
I've had feelings for more than seven years for her. I know she shared these feelings for me at one point.
If I "settle" now because I'm comfortable, I'll never know about the possibility of the other relationship.
On the other hand, I'm not sure I can give up what I've worked at for more than two years without a real definitive reason.
Maybe if I somehow got over the other woman, I'd be able to focus more on my girlfriend, but I've thought these feelings would go away and they haven't.
Can you help me?
— The Settler
DEAR SETTLER: I wonder how your loyal girlfriend would feel if she knew that you feel you are "settling" for her.
You don't mention what about your girlfriend would make her a wonderful wife and mother, but I can guarantee that if you enter a marriage feeling you are settling it doesn't have much chance of succeeding.
Make a decision about your long-term relationship. Don't hedge your bets; be a grown-up and make a choice.
You don't need a "definitive reason" to leave a relationship; in the end, it doesn't end up mattering much because there are "real reasons" and then there are the reasons you supply. They are often quite different.
DEAR AMY: I've recently been demoted at work.
They've brought in someone younger to do a job that I used to do, and now I report to him.
Now the company is starting a project that I have experience leading.
My boss has asked me to sit in on planning meetings and lend my expertise.
I will attend the meetings but am considering not participating much. After all, if they valued my expertise, they would have kept me at the higher position and I would be leading the project.
I hate not being a team player, but they're not paying me for project leadership, so maybe I shouldn't offer it.
What do you think?
DEAR DEMOTED: It's time to look for another job.
While you are looking, it is important for you to be as on task, involved and professional as you can be. You should do your best to suck it up and demonstrate the leadership qualities you know you possess.
This is not only good for your professional prospects — it is better for your self-esteem than sitting on your talent along the sidelines. And self-esteem matters when you're on a job search.
DEAR AMY: "Unsure" was upset because there were two pregnant women at her office and a shower was being held for only one of them.
I have worked for more than 50 years and have seen this scenario many times. It is very divisive in an office setting. I suggest they hold a shower for the first-time mother and, at that same shower, acknowledge the pregnancy of the other mother having her fourth child.
An appropriate gift certificate and maybe some flowers would go a long way in soothing feelings and would bring cohesiveness to all of the workers involved.
DEAR JANE: I agree.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It was a first for the new Port Authority Police Department graduating class.
They held a wreath-laying ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial Thursday following their badge ceremony at Foundation Hall.
They are the first class to receive their badges at the site where 37 Port Authority officers died on 9/11.
Five of the new graduates say they are honored to join the force and follow in their families’ footsteps.
“This is truly a special day for me. I’m truly honored to be here with the Port Authority, and to wear the same shield as my father and my grandfather,” said third generation Port Authority Police Department officer Brian Donovan.
“I just have a lot to look forward to. I know he has some big shoes to fill over there, so I’m just waiting for my turn,” said PAPD officer Imani Brown, whose father Michael is a PAPD’s deputy chief.
One hundred twenty four officers graduated as part of the 117th class.

The site is to act as a ‘shopfront’ illustrating the whole of CNNIC capability and designed to impress. The functionality needs to draw in the user at every point, and will enhance customer and partner engagement and act as a catalyst for drawing in new business. The goal was to create a vibrant, living breathing site that engages rather than disengages and one which conveys smart and concise messaging throughout.Launch project
Showcase content in a way that keeps target audiences engaged while not distracting from its core purpose of attracting potential corporate partners.
The very nature of the content that would be shown on the website meant that there was a danger that the site could become dry or un-inspiring.
Our challenge would be to propose a solution that remained true to the sites core purpose, but injected it with life, making it a site people would be encouraged by and want to discover more.
Similar to World Service, CNN is an internationally recognised brand that needed to be handled with care and respect.
We would need to ensure our branding solution new visual style reflected the already well established parent brand of CNN while remaining true to its own identity.
We entered the project not having a clear understanding of the goal, objectives and ambition of stakeholders or the intended audience of the website.
Without this knowledge we would not be able to confidently propose solutions.
A lot of cutting edge micro interactions and features, content moulded and crafted especially for its audience and a lightweight design to work on any device… Not a big ask!
To ensure that the site would maintain users interest (no matter what the content) we designed interactive content areas that moved and flowed with the page.
Moving away from more traditional article page approaches, we introduced functional yet fun micro interactions along with pages that flowed and moved with the users actions.
To create a brand that would work for this project we hosted a 2 day branding workshop with key personnel who had direct involvement with the core CNN brand.
Working as one team, we were able to highlight key messages the brand should portray and the audiences the brand should talk to. a As one team, we were able to create a core brand and supporting digital brand guidelines.
In order to understand the requirements of the project we needed to get all major stakeholders into a room.
Our UX and visual designers flew out to Paris to conduct face to face workshops and interviews with the people behind the website to understand its needs and aspirations.
This in turn allowed us to create detailed user personas and decision trees we could base any wireframing and design decisions around.
A site that really does deliver the “WOW” factor, no matter where, when or who!
As a result of the project CNN IC now have a fully interactive website presence. featuring content widgets that introduce movement to what would have traditionally been a very static page.
Interactive hover effects that see elements on a page scale, scroll activated animations, responsive menu items and interactive full width video carousels are just some of the components that come together to create a site that even the most senior executive would be impressed with.
With an AGILE delivery approach adopted for this project, senior stakeholders could see real time progress at every key stage.
By treating items such as user feedback, bug discoveries and feature improvements in an AGILE way we were able to accurately estimate effort on an individual task level.
The results of which meant work could be prioritised and an efficient work flow maintained for all parties involved.
Previously CNNIC only has a single, static page to advertise its offering to potential partners.
With the new website they have the ability to reach a whole new audience, presenting them with a wealth of rich content that is accessible on any device, in the most remote locations.

Santiago Canyon College Receives $3.23 Million U.S. Department of Education Grant to Increase Student Success
Santa Ana—Santiago Canyon College (SCC) recently received a $3.23-million Title V grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The Title V grant program helps eligible institutions of higher education enhance and expand their capacity to serve Hispanic and low-income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen academic quality. The grants are awarded to colleges and universities that serve Hispanic students.
In fall 2010, SCC’s enrollment included 33 percent Latino students, 42 percent Caucasian, 8 percent Asian, 2 percent Filipino, 2 percent African-American, 1 percent Native American, 3 percent other, and 9 percent declined to state.
SCC’s five-year grant is designed to help more students succeed in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). More specifically, the grant aims to establish a Science Learning Center, supplemental instruction for difficult math and science courses, and a new engineering degree program. The grant will also support student success by strengthening the college’s ability to assess student learning outcomes to improve teaching and learning.
“This grant represents an important step forward for Santiago Canyon College, and I’m excited about the opportunities it creates,” said SCC President Juan Vázquez. “The grant will complement our new Science Center and improve our ability to serve students in the STEM fields through innovative curriculum and learning design.”
According to a Tomás Rivera Policy Institute report, “STEM Professions: Opportunities and Challenges for Latinos,” The number of U.S.-trained STEM professionals is insufficient to meet the nation’s needs, given current higher education enrollment and graduation rates. In addition, the diversity in race/ethnicity of the country is not reflected in the ranks of STEM professionals. Demographic trends reinforce this shortage and indicate that an increasing number of STEM professionals will soon be retiring.
Santiago Canyon College plans to use its Title V grant for the following:
- Hiring a part-time STEM counselor to implement innovative advising to support currently enrolled STEM students
- Increasing the number of freshman students interested STEM fields
- Retaining and transferring STEM majors
- Establishing a Science Learning Center with faculty developed activities, tutors, and materials
- Providing science and math supplemental instruction opportunities for students in historically difficult classes
- Establishing a new A.S. degree in engineering
- Establishing the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment to support faculty in the collection and analysis of data to increase student success
- Providing ongoing training, coaching, and mentoring for faculty to integrate student learning outcomes assessment into programs and courses
For more information on STEM majors at Santiago Canyon College, contact Grant Coordinator Mary McMullin at (714) 628-4824.
About the Rancho Santiago Community College District The mission of the Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) is to respond to the educational needs of an ever-changing community and to provide programs and services that reflect academic excellence.

TI’s MSP430 Energy Watchdog tool makes it easy to design a Smart Plug
The “MSP430 Energy Watchdog” is a Smart Plug reference design from Texas Instruments. This tool can be used to accurately measure power consumption of any household electrical appliance. The power measurement is performed using the MSP430AFE253 energy metering IC and results are displayed on a LCD screen. Results that are calculated and displayed include incoming AC voltage, current, frequency, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor, and energy consumption in kWh. In addition to being a fully functional tool for energy measurement, the Energy Watchdog is also a development tool for system designers to develop their smart plug or sub-meter designs and go-to-market very quickly. The tool has a debug port as well as serial interfaces to connect optional peripherals like wireless communication modules to transmit energy consumption data to a remote location. Wireless solutions such as ZigBee or sub-1 GHz solutions like Wireless M-Bus are available from TI and can connect easily to the Energy Watchdog tool.
Full schematics are available in the User’s Guide and software is based on TI’s MSP430 Energy Library. More details can be found in the Tools Folder.
What do you think of this reference design and its features?
Prasad serves as a Marketing Manager for the Smart Grid Business Unit at Texas Instruments
Do you use a reference meter when you need calibrate it? What's the steps to calibrate it?
The "Tools Folder" URL is not working. Would you fix it? Thanks!

Here's Your Friday DU 'Crazy Corner'!
FROM DU: So If Bush Actually Bombs Iran, What Are We Going To Do About It?
Call, write and fax our congresspersons? Sign more petitions? Hit the streets with protest marches? Put up on-line posts about how pissed we are?
The real answer is that if Bush bombs Iran, there's not one, single, solitary damn thing we can do about it. For almost seven years now, we've watched these thugs dismantle our government, our laws and our Constitution. And we are now at the point where we are totally helpless. They can literally do anything they want to and we can't stop them.
What if Bush or Cheney went on TV today and announced that they needed to bomb San Francisco to "stop a secret terrorist plot"? Aside from getting as far as possible from San Francisco, what could anyone do to stop them?
How the hell did we let the situation get this far? And does anyone have any practical idea of how to put an end to this administration ASAP? (Cyrano)
DUers Chime In:
--Support the troops who'll be told to point their guns at us if we storm the WH? Maybe the troops will disobey and point the guns at the real enemies.
--Maybe. After all, they did take an oath to protect the Constitution against "all enemies, foreign and domestic."
--They also swore allegiance to the Constitution, but after Patriot Act I and II, and the Spy on Americans Act that was just passed by the Congress, I don't think the military will ever uphold its oath to the Constitution! One of the reasons that I fail to believe that the military has any credibility left, because they sure don't have much honor or integrity!!!!
--Won't be THOSE troops... It'll be THEIR troops - Blackwater USA. And the police. Police have always viewed protestors as enemy combatants no matter how peaceful and wouldn't hesitate to crack their skulls or open fire.
-- Good point. Wonder where they dredge up the Blackwater scum.
--Drive to walmart in our SUV's and Cheer for US victory!
--At any rate, I don't think we need to be worrying about what Bush is going to do anymore, it's Cheney that's got me shaking in my shoes. I think we need to get that bastard out of there first and foremost.
--I fear that you're right... When what we really should do is shut the country down. Don't go to work or school, cease economic activity, stay home. That would end it quickly.
--We've been helpless since boosh illegally ensconced himself in the white house. since the dems gained the majority on capital hill, we have found out they could give a rats ass what happens to this country either. we have now reached def-con 4. We are either targets or slave labor, beyond those two things, we mean NOTHING.
God help them, they actually believe this crap... They are so full of sniveling self-pity, they think our own government is much more of a threat than the radical Islamists will ever be. Incredible... skewed--and so ignorant!

in the shed ...
with Cupid and Psyche fluttering round my head, Marrakesh playing and - hopefully - curtains swishing back and forth seamlessly.
With luck, I hope to make the first 100 or so frames this weekend. I've assembled scanned silk, proscenium, backdrop, props, lights, camera, laptop, music, title, and a rough plan. Now all I need is tea and time.
Off to play!

WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. It’s open for anyone to join in and is a great way to share what you’ve been reading! All you have to do is answer three questions and share a link to your blog in the comments section of Sam’s blog.
The three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
A similar meme is run by Lipsyy Lost and Found where bloggers share This Week in Books #TWiB.
What I’m reading now:
Baby Lost by Hannah Robert
This is an incredible moving memoir about a woman who was in a car accident when 8 months pregnant and her baby didn’t survive. She ends up in a court battle to try and have her baby recognised as a victim of the crash.
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
This has been a book that I’ve heard about so many time and I finally bought a copy last week and I wanted to read it right away. It’ll be a book that I read on and off for the next few weeks.
The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
I bought this book earlier this year and have been really looking forward to reading it so it was my pick this week. I’m really enjoying reading this novel.
One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus
This book has ended up being a little different to what I was expecting but it’s drawn me in and I’m now hooked. I’m really intrigued to know whodunnit now!
The Lie of the Land by Amanda Craig
This is a fascinating novel about the break-up of a marriage. I’ve only got a couple of chapters left to read and I’ve loved every minute that I’ve spent reading it. My review will be on my blog on Friday so please look out for it then.
Based on a True Story by Delphine de Vigan
I’m afraid that I haven’t read anymore of this book since last week. It’s entirely down to my real life interfering with my reading mojo, and I was enjoying this book so much that I decided to put it to one side rather than risk my current mood affecting my enjoyment. I hope to pick it back up very soon.
What I recently finished reading:
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
I finished reading this at the weekend and it’s still swirling around in my mind. I definitely recommend this one!
Be Awesome by Hadley Freeman
I’m sorry to say that this book was a disappointment for me. It’s one of the books that has been on my TBR for a while and I picked it up the other day expecting a real mood boost of a book but it wasn’t that. It may have been that I’m older than the target audience but I’m not sure that I’d recommend this to anyone.
How to Survive a Plague by David France
This book was incredible! It was so moving and powerful. I was furious at the way people were treated back then, I was heartbroken reading some of the personal stories. It was awful to read of the politics that led to delays in treatment. I recommend this book to everyone. Please go read it!
After Anna by Alex Lake
This is another book that has been on my TBR for a while and I ended up listening to the audio last week. It was a fast-paced read that kept me hooked but it was very predictable. I’m still interested to read another novel by the author though.
What I plan on reading next:
The Child by Fiona Barton
I was sent an ARC of this book a few weeks ago and it’s really calling to me from my TBR so I’m hoping to start reading it in the next week.
Idaho by Emily Ruskovich
I got approved for this on NetGalley recently and have been so keen to read it. I hope to be able to start it this week.
What are you reading at the moment? Have you finished any good books recently? Any books you’re looking forward to reading soon? Please feel free to join in with this meme and share your link below, or if you don’t have a blog please share in the comments below.

A new therapeutic approach which merges the four existing main approaches to psychotherapy, namely, psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral and existential, into one holistic approach called Conscious Therapy.
BALTIMORE (PRWEB) July 30, 2018
In a ground-breaking new book, Conscious-the Art of Being, psychotherapist and motivational speaker, Yisroel Roll, unveils Conscious Therapy, the Unified Master Theory of Everything in Psychotherapy. Innovative, life-enhancing, and scientifically tested, Roll’s new therapeutic approach merges the four existing main approaches to psychotherapy, namely, psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral and existential, into one holistic approach called Conscious Therapy. This new approach to therapy and self-knowledge reveals the driving force of personality, called “consciousness,” which is achieved through self-understanding, selfhood and identity formation.
This book is for the general public, psychotherapists, social workers, and educators, and will help readers discover:
- Who you are
- Your core self
- Your core values
- How to access your subconscious-mind, at will
- How to heal the unfinished business and unresolved issues of your childhood
- How to heal from emotional pain and move on with your life
- How to ground and center yourself when you are faced with a life challenge
- How to self-actualize and achieve your potential
Conscious Therapy comprises a seven-step experiential therapeutic system which establishes the “Conscious Self” through awareness of the cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions of “self,” as follows:
1. Wheel of Strengths—Cognitive awareness of the clients’ intellect, social skills, character traits, spirituality, family contribution and personal growth.
2. Soul State—an emotional guided imagery experience which places the client in a holistic, positive frame of experiencing the “self.”
3. Circle of Control—a behavioral awareness of what the client can do to respond to stimuli and events which are outside her locus of control, by accessing those thoughts, actions, words and reactions, which are inside the client’s locus of control.
Defending the Conscious Self from Cognitive and Emotional Attacks:
4. Thought Highway—Client practices a mindfulness technique to recognize and allow negative thoughts to pass like trucks on a highway.
5. Becoming aware of Cognitive Distortions and replacing the distorted thinking with a positive mantra or affirmation
6. Inner Child—Becoming aware of and healing the emotional pain, and unfinished business of childhood emotional pain so that the Inner Child no longer controls the Adult Self.
Choosing Love over Fear; Achieving Consciousness by Choosing to Operate with Free Will
7. Client chooses the approach of self-love and validation over the paralyzing fear of anxiety.
The interactive strategies and techniques presented to the client require him to perform daily homework journaling exercises.
The book includes a study which examines the impact of Conscious Therapy on clients suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. A sample of 30 patients who are suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder were selected to receive bi-weekly sessions of Conscious Therapy over a period of five months, for a total of ten sessions. For data collection The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale were used. The results indicated that those patients who performed the weekly homework of Conscious Therapy during and between therapy sessions, reduced their self-reported anxiety symptoms by 3-81%. Those patients who did not perform the weekly Conscious Therapy homework did not reduce their anxiety symptoms.
The study’s major findings revealed that adherence to a program designed to increase consciousness was a predictor of reduced anxiety and better interpersonal functioning. Consciousness of a client’s cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions leads to “selfhood.” When a client discovers a sense of “self,” she can more readily cope with and handle a presenting challenge by marshalling her cognitive, emotional and behavioral strengths to solve or to cope with the challenge; this reduces the anxiety attendant upon the stressful process of dealing with a psychosocial stressor.
Physicists have been seeking the Theory of Everything (ToE) in Physics (also known as the Grand United Theory, Final Theory, Ultimate Theory, or Master Theory) which is a hypothetical single, all-encompassing, coherent theoretical framework of physics that fully explains and links together all physical aspects of the universe. One of the major unsolved problems in physics, scientists are now trying to find the underlying Theory of Everything to combine General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory into one unifying theory.
The author suggests that Conscious Therapy is the Theory of Everything in psychotherapy because it is an all-encompassing Experiential/Gestalt therapeutic approach which teaches a client about “selfhood” and the components of self, namely his mind, feelings and actions. The feelings are the central, driving force of personality, and Conscious Therapy guides a client to make a “conscious choice” between reacting with an instinctive, impulsive body response, or, reacting with a mind-based, thoughtful, cognitive response. Conscious Therapy helps a client access the “self” or “I,” in order to direct the “me,” and to react to the crisis or challenge in a conscious, healthy manner, thus reducing anxiety that is usually associated with dealing with stressful situations.
The book is an outgrowth of Yisroel Roll’s twenty years of individual and group counseling experience.

Emily Henry is a connoisseur of donuts, proofreader, and full-time author. While at Hope College, she studied creative writing and went to the New York Center for Art and Media studies. Emily Henry spends a lot of time in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in the state of Kentucky (in the part of the state that is just south of Cincinnati).
She finds that she must write a novel in order, and not bounce around. Nor does she outline. If she knows too much about where a book is going, she does not really have much interest in writing the entire novel; she must see where it goes while writing, sort of like when reading a novel. “The Love that Split the World” is Henry’s debut novel that came out in the year 2016.
