The Van Dyke
In honor of No-Shave November, The Greatest Blog Of All Time will feature facial hair related Wednesday posts. Just….deal with it, guys.
The most common problem with goatees is that no one actually knows what they are.
What comes to mind when you hear the word goatee? Probably this guy, right?
When was the last time you spotted a goat that had a really solid mustache? If the answer is anything other than “Never, because they’re known for the tufts of hair under their CHINS, not above their MOUTHS”, then you are just a liar.
So by definition, the goatee covers the chin, but no more. So what most people consider to be a goatee is actually a Van Dyke.
The Van Dyke beard gets its namesake from King Charles I of England.
Primarily, it’s because King Charles was depicted with the beard in a famous portrait. The artist in charge? Anthony van Dyck, who as it turns out also sported the highly popular beard style. Much like nearly everyone in Europe in the 1700s.
Actually, the fact that it was so popular makes it interesting that it wasn’t named after somebody else. Here are two portraits of two completely different men, yet only one of them has a beard named after him:
And while the beard was occasionally referred to as a “Charlie”, after Charles I, the more commonly accepted name is still the painter’s, not the monarch’s.
After mysteriously dying out after the 1700s, the Van Dyke popped back up in 1900s America, where nobody bothered to notice that they were spelling it differently than the person it was named for.
Response to this trend, as with all trends, wasn’t very positive, though. A columnist for the Chicago Chronicle was quoted as saying it was only worn by a man “who was selfish, sinister, and pompous as a peacock.”
And really, could you disagree with that statement? There’s something naturally evil about the Van Dyke.
But thankfully, in the later stages of the 1900s, Youth Pastors across the country devoted their lives to redeeming the Van Dyke. Finally, the connection of the mustache and the goatee while keeping the cheeks clean could be enjoyed by anyone with no fear of looking evil.
But sacrifices were made. In the process, the Van Dyke lost its identity, and became synonymous with the goatee.
And like that, Anthony van Dyck’s legacy was lost.
It’s like hearing a piece of classical music and referring to it as a Mozart, regardless of who wrote it. It could be Beethoven. In this hypothetical, people don’t care anymore. It has all become the same to them.
But it’s not the same. Not at all. And in lumping them together, people do a great disservice to the ones who actually created these works of art.
So please, get your terminology right. If you can’t do it for Anthony van Dyck, then at least do it for the goats.
A few Van Dyke pictures have been submitted in the comments. Have you ever sported a Van Dyke? Show it off a bit!

In the Process of Getting my Bbl Done by Dr. Delvecchio - New York
Goals to have natural looking, more volumn and big...
Finally booked my surgery date!
Went to get my ekg/cbg tests today
Getting closer to my surgery date!
The waiting days to the surgery is almost here!
Had a in person consultation with Dr. Delvecchio yesterday at his nyc office and it went well. Soon to book my surgery date with him. I researched info and read mostly good reviews about him, so decided to choose him to do my bbl and plus he specialized in bbl so that's a plus! His price range is pretty decent as for being in new york area. My first impression with him is his honesty, friendly, straight forward, funny and importantly i felt comfortable with him. His staff also are very nice and friendly. Cant wait and looking forward to get my bbl done before spring and summer so i can show it off then! :)

Robbie Williams Fall Off Stage And Breaks Fan’s Arm - Video
3 July 2014, 23:00 | Updated: 2 November 2017, 15:29
Robbie Williams broke a fan's arm after falling off stage during a recent concert.
The singer was in the middle of his 'Swings Both Ways' show in Newcastle, when he lost his footing as he leaned out to greet fans.
According to The Mirror newspaper, Margaret Nash was left with a broken arm after Williams landed on her.
Arena general manager Paul Tattenden said: "We attended to the lady after she said she had pain in her arm.
"We were later told she had broken it. We got in touch with Robbie's production company and they have been in touch with the lady."
Williams was not aware of her injury during the show.

ICC WT20: We Are Full Of Confidence - Denesh Ramdin
West Indian wicket-keeper and vice-captain Denesh Ramdin says that his side are full of confidence ahead of their ICC World Twenty20 semi-final against Sri Lanka on Friday at The Oval.
"The guys are 100% confident that we can go out there and win,” he said. “If you look at the last game we had to get 80 runs from 54 balls, it was a bit tough and although we didn’t get the start that we wanted our lower order came through for us."
Many pinpoint the West Indies victory against Australia in their opening encounter as the moment in which the men in maroon announced themselves as legitimate contenders for the title, but Ramdin believes that every game has been crucial so far.
"I think all the games were crucial, going out there and winning and keeping that momentum going, we had some good team meetings to discuss the opposition and we executed them well in the last game,” he added.
Their semi-final opponents Sri Lanka are unbeaten in the tournament so far, and they beat the West Indies when the two sides met in the group stages of the competition. Ramdin, however, remains unfazed.
"They are playing great cricket so far,” he conceded. “The top three batters are the ones that are getting the runs for them and their spinners are keeping the runs down so if we can counter that, get a couple of early breakthroughs in the first six overs and keep them to a score of 140 or 150, then we will be able to chase that.”
Ajantha Mendis has been a revelation for Sri Lanka with the ball, and most teams have found scoring off Mendis and Mutiah Muralitharan very difficult. The pair went for 35 runs in eight overs between them, against Ireland on Sunday, and Ramdin is well aware of the danger threat that they pose.
"It is quite difficult - they are a fine pair of bowlers. So we want to try and get on top of them as early as possible so the captain would have to bring them back on later. He (Mendis) is a good bowler, but you have to go out there play the ball on merit and he isn’t spinning the ball that much like everyone expects so the players are trying to play him as a medium pacer score ones and twos and wait for the bad ball.”
Ramdin added that his team-mates would be looking to target the inexperienced bowlers in the Sri Lankan team.
"They have some tricky bowlers so we will target the bowlers who haven't being doing that well for them, be positive and just back ourselves," he said.
While Ramdin has been impressed with some of Sri Lanka's performances in this tournament he is of the belief that if the West Indies can get some early wickets, then his team should be able to control proceedings.
"Looking back to their game against Ireland they lost a couple of early wickets in the first six overs and that set them back. Then Jayawardene came in and he played a good innings for them. Having said that our bowlers analyse the game a lot better - they know where Jayawardene scores his runs all his career so we just have to execute.”
After the West Indies victory against England, Chris Gayle hoped for a semi-final at The Oval; that wish has now become a reality, and Ramdin is also happy to be returning to the famous South London stadium.
"It is a ground where we have had some success, hopefully we can keep that momentum going into that. It is just for us to go out there and back ourselves."

Is this a blog by another guy crusading on behalf of women because it’s cool without really understanding the problem..? Well, I don’t think of myself that way but its up to you what you think. I’ll start though by presenting a statistic and discussing two independent studies:
According to this Catalyst Report from 2007 (yes a full 11 years ago) examining the Fortune 500, those companies with women on the board of directors significantly out performed those companies with all male boards. In addition, those companies with three of more women on the board of directors have a stronger than average performance.
“Stronger-than-average results prevail at companies where at least three women serve”
This report from the Harvard Business Review in 2009 highlights that women drive the world economy with a $20tn spend each year, projected to rise to $28tn by 2014 (4 years ago).
“Globally, they control about $20 trillion in annual consumer spending, and that figure could climb as high as $28 trillion in the next five years”
When I was planning this article I was trying to figure out how to eloquently explain why women are equal in the male dominated industry. These two articles do just that for me. The point I’m trying to illustrate though is that women are incredibly important influencers.
My Career Experience
I was lucky when I started out in IT as an apprentice 20 years ago. My first two managers were women, and they were both fantastic mentors. In my second job she was also the IT Manager. I was fortunate in two ways. First, my first experience was in a team made up of men and women so for me a stereo type buster. The second is that we had a great team who enjoyed their work, and were very sociable both inside and outside work. Whether one is linked to the other I can’t scientifically quantify, however I believe that the diversity in the IT team helped us serve our customer base, and serve them well. My grounding in how to conduct myself, how to approach my work, and resolve issues came from multiple mentors in those teams, both male and female.
My fortune in working in a team made up of men and women continued for the next 15 years across 4 companies, ranging from IT manager, to support manager, to two financial managers. That experience dropped off when I became a contractor for a couple of years to working in all male teams.
Today I work closely with 6 wonderful women who are incredible at their jobs – is this because they are genetically female? Who knows how much biology plays. I know they are daughters, sisters, parents, girlfriends, and wives, just as I am a son, brother, father and husband. There is much more to them than genetics. They are all leaders in their respective fields and I know I wouldn’t be able to work as well as I do or be as effective as I am if it wasn’t for them.
What Do I Think
Why do I think women aren’t coming into tech?
Social paradigms are a big barrier during formative, particularly school years. When I was at school both tech and IT were incredibly geeky, and as a direct result I didn’t take an interest in the subject while I was at school (yes, very ironic). A few years ago I rented a room from a friend. She had a 15 year old daughter I’d know for a few years alongside her mother. Her view, shared by her friends, was that IT was for geeks and wouldn’t ever consider a career involved in it. I asked why and didn’t get much of an answer, but was left with a distinct impression it was to do with social circles. I also asked her if she considered me to be a geek, to which she replied “no”. Paradox much! The reality is that I am a geek, but that isn’t a bad thing. I am also a martial artist, socially accomplished, and sometimes a little rough round the edges. I know plenty of people in IT that are definitely geeks, but are also social accomplished, and are regularly involved in sports. The geek stereo type is less and less a sum of who you are these days, but more a facet of your personality.
The pace of change in tech is phenomenal. I work predominantly in Microsoft Azure and it is now impossible to remain abreast of new releases each week at a deep level across all of todays 300 Azure services – thankfully Microsoft don’t expect me to. The rate of “churn” will only ever increase. I feel accomplished in my career and have considered a sabbatical a number of times. What’s the one thing that holds me back… this rate of change. It would take time to bring myself up to the level I left at (due to memory atrophy) but it would take an incredible amount of time to bring myself up to speed with current releases. Women considering starting or extending families are faced with this as a factor when choosing a career.
Thinking back to my childhood and looking at my son, his friends and the children of my friends, boys are given and play with construction toys (Lego, Mechano, MegaBloks, models, etc) and girls typically aren’t (though I’m pleased to see a gender stereotype breakdown in Lego in recent years). When they are in situations where they are presented with toys they don’t own, they gravitate to what they know and enjoy. Perhaps as we grow older this becomes ingrained and we pursue careers based on building. Certainly IT has a huge amount of building in it, from installing Operating Systems, to building servers, to writing code for an app build. We consider everything up to the point of support as a building process/activity. Maybe this is one of the reasons we share an inequality in gender with the construction and and mechanical industries. A crying shame considering our economy / industry was powered by women during and after World War II.
Why Am I Concerned
After 20 years why am I so bothered by it now? In 20 years the number of women working in IT hasn’t increased much – that bothers me by itself. I don’t like the idea that the industry I work in and love is discriminate. Importantly though, the tech industry is an influencer and decision maker in so many aspects of our lives, from the disruptors of Amazon (books without shops) and Uber (taxi firm that doesn’t own assets), to the giants of tech services (Microsoft and Google) that touch so many aspects of our lives. People from all parts of society need to be in on this industry to so we get a rounded view when tech is conceived, developed, built, and sold.
This is going to be critically important on the cusp of the biggest revolution since the invention of fire (or maybe the wheel). What am I talking about? Artificial Intelligence. We are careering headlong down the path of building AIs and integrating them into devices or services we will consume. We are relying on the tech companies that are developing AI to be ethical and morally responsible. AI is already out there and in use in a limited fashion! Do we have enough influencers from across the spectrum, absolutely not!
What Can We Do
Can I forge a one man crusade to address this problem? Yes. Would it be effective? No, it requires all of us, peers, parents, educators, mentors, and business leaders to help us bust the stereo types and social paradigms that are preventing us from making our industry better.
If you’re school goer and making your GCSE / further education decisions, or maybe influencing someone who is. Allow yourself/them to find out about IT, what’s involved, where you can work, who you can work with, what your possibilities are. There are plenty of tech firms that are approachable for a summer internship or operate open days.
If you’re an employer you can ensure your equal opportunities policy is effective and provide extra support for women (or anyone for that matter) in tech who need to take time out for children by providing an investment in training (time as well as materiels) upon returning to work.
If you’re a parent, try not to think of jobs as gender or persona defined. Your little ones are miniature versions of you. Nurture and support their interests (IT or otherwise), it’s so simple to get involved in tech these days with books and programs to aid very young children in learning to code in fun ways (a skill that is likely to be on the curriculum in primary schools in the near future). This doesn’t automatically mean they will turn into someone who hides in their room all day tapping on a keyboard while drinking coca-cola and growing their hair. It’s your responsibility to stimulate them in other subjects too. I’m a parent. Will I expose my children to computers and IT tech – of course, will this be the only hobby I expose them too – no, absolutely not. My job is to arm them with information so they can make an informed decision about a career – regardless of industry sector.
If you’re an educator provide open days for enrolment, and work with your local companies to forge relationships. Being able to provide short or long internships, contacts, or place students is more likely to a make a career choice successful.
I will continue to work in this space to mentor and influence the young and old to think differently, and empower people to choose a career in IT. Please join me.

We did it!
In 2016, recognising a need for financial education amongst primary school age children, a group of volunteers from the worlds of finance and education decided to start a grassroots effort to create a Year 6 Financial Literacy curriculum from scratch. We used the learnings, data and feedback from our interactions with over fifteen thousand students and hundreds of schools as a basis for these materials.
To realise our dream of delivering our Year 6 Financial Literacy curriculum to every primary school in the country, we worked hard to get sponsorship amongst primarily friends and family to make this initiative a reality. We were overwhelmed by the amazing support we received and the result is that we now have the ability the ability to deliver these valuable educational materials to every primary school in the UK, completely free of charge.
It was important to us that these educational materials were of the highest possible standard and that is why for the past three years we have worked closely to develop them with over fifteen Head Teachers and Year 6 teachers.
We have also worked with Young Money, the UK’s leading independent authority on financial education. To secure the Young Money Quality Mark (which is supported and endorsed by the Department for Education and Education Scotland), the Teacher’s Manual and the accompanying PowerPoint presentations and Teacher’s Notes were thoroughly peer-reviewed and vetted. Schools and teachers therefore can have complete confidence that these resources are both financially accurate and of the highest educational value.
Everyone at City Pay it Forward is an unpaid volunteer. The City Pay it Forward initiative is a wholly charitable organisation and the fact that we are able to provide this Year 6 Financial curriculum to every primary school in the UK free of charge is very important to us and core to our mission.
Our guiding principal is to make a positive impact in the lives of young people and to give something back to our communities. That is where the concept of “pay it forward” comes from!
We really do hope you find these materials useful, impactful and engaging. We know that we have enjoyed the three year journey to bring them to you.
Team City Pay it Forward

A group of researchers led by Professor Michael P. Lisanti, Director of the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Unit, have published results of a recent study in Oncotarget, whereby they demonstrate the promising effects of antibiotics on different types of cancer cells, including skin cancer.
After a casual conversation with his 8-year-old daughter Camilla about his cancer research, Prof. Lisanti decided to investigate the effects of antibiotics on the mitochondria of cancer stem cells.
Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy within a cell, allowing cancer cells to proliferate and become more aggressive. Cancer stem cells are linked to the capacity of skin cancer recurrence, and are extremely difficult to eliminate with current available therapies.
“I was having a conversation with Camilla about how to cure cancer and she asked why don’t we just use antibiotics like we do for other illnesses. I knew that antibiotics can affect mitochondria and I’ve been doing a lot of work recently on how important they are to the growth of tumours, but this conversation helped me to make a direct link”, explained Professor Lisanti in a news release.
In this research, Professor Lisanti and his collaborators from The Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York and the Kimmel Cancer Centre, Philadelphia used 5 different types of antibiotics (including doxycycline, commonly used for acne treatment), and tested their effects on skin cancer cells lines along with seven other cancer types. The results were surprising, as the antibiotics were capable of killing all types of cancer stem cells.
One of the hypotheses to explain the observed effect includes the fact that mitochondria descended from bacteria during an early phase of evolution. As such, drugs used to destroy bacteria can also have an impact on the mitochondria present in cancer stem cells, albeit not to the same extent.
Importantly, the team observed the antibiotics’ deleterious effects were specific for malignant cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.
“This research makes a strong case for opening new trials in humans for using antibiotics to fight cancer. Many of the drugs we used were extremely effective, there was little or no damage to normal cells and these antibiotics have been in use for decades and are already approved by the FDA for use in humans. However, of course, further studies are needed to validate their efficacy, especially in combination with more conventional therapies”, added Professor Lisanti.
“The conclusions that the researchers have drawn, whilst just hypotheses at this stage, are certainly interesting. Antibiotics are cheap and readily available and if in time the link between their use and the eradication of cancer stem cells can be proved, this work may be the first step towards a new avenue for cancer treatment. This is a perfect example of why it is so important to continue to invest in scientific research. Sometimes there are answers to some of the biggest questions right in front of us but without ongoing commitment to the search for these answers, we’d never find them”, stated Dr. Matthew Lam, Senior Research Officer at Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
Dr. Federica Sotgia, also a lead author of the study concluded, “As these drugs are considerably cheaper than current therapies, they can improve treatment in the developing world where the number of deaths from cancer is predicted to increase significantly over the next ten years”.

Barclays (LON:BARC) has hired a former JPMorgan Chase executive as its new security chief, Reuters has revealed. The move comes with the lender stepping up efforts to combat the threat of cyber crime.
Barclays’ share price has been subdued in London in today’s session, having slipped 0.35 percent to 214.00p as of 14:32 BST. The stock is marginally underperforming the broader UK market, with the benchmark FTSE 100 index currently standing 0.06 percent lower at 7,262.23 points. The group’s shares have lost less than one percent of their value over the past year, as compared with about a 1.5-percent dip in the Footsie.
Barclays hires new security chief
Reuters reported today that Barclays had said in an internal memo that it had appointed Tim McNulty as its new group chief security officer, replacing Troels Oerting who left the bank in November. McNulty, who spent 17 years at JPMorgan after working in Hong Kong and Britain’s police forces, will join the FTSE 100 lender next month.
The newswire notes that hire comes with the blue-chip lender stepping up its efforts to combat the threat of cyber crime, having launched a new joint operations centre at its headquarters in London’s Canary Wharf district. The unit is designed to centralise the bank’s efforts to detect and combat cyber threats.
Analysts on blue-chip lender
Deutsche Bank, which sees Barclays as a ‘buy,’ set a price target of 250p on the stock today, while earlier this week, Goldman Sachs, which has a ‘neutral’ rating on the lender, set a valuation of 220p on the shares. According to MarketBeat, the FTSE 100 lender currently has a consensus ‘hold’ rating and an average price target of 225.12p. Barclays is scheduled to update investors on its first-quarter performance on April 26.

Rafael Furcal empties his locker, but there is no goodbye
The locker was empty, save for a lone bat, a pair of sandals and two bottles of lotion. The nameplate above the cubicle had been removed.
Rafael Furcal was gone into the night.
Gone without a goodbye, gone without any explanation, not that any had to be given.
Furcal has reportedly accepted a trade to the St. Louis Cardinals. The 33-year-old, who had been the Dodgers' primary shortstop for the last six years, packed up and left during the Dodgers’ game Saturday night against the Diamondbacks without a final farewell to teammates.
He had been coy with reporters before the game, not saying whether as a player with 10 years of major league service, including five with the same team, he would approve a trade. He did promise, if jokingly, to talk to the media after the game.
But an emotional man, he elected to avoid the goodbyes and by the middle of the game had carried his bag out of the clubhouse and left Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers career of Furcal was over.
"He’s definitely going to be missed," said Matt Kemp. "He was one of my favorite teammates.
"He played the game the right way. When he was healthy, he was dangerous."
The catch with Furcal, of course, was his being healthy. When he was he was a true catalyst, a leadoff hitter who made the Dodgers go. A terrific all-around player.
Staying healthy became a constant battle. Over the last five seasons he averaged only 116 games. This year he has spent two long stints on the disabled list and at one point was so frustrated he talked of retiring.
He hit only .197 in the 37 games he has played this season though in the last week he appeared more like his old self, going eight for 22 with a pair of steals.
"I hate to see him go," said Casey Blake. "He’s been a real teammate. Hopefully this works for him and us. I wish him the best. I know he’s going to a real good team over there, a bunch of professionals and some real good teammates. I know they have a lot of fun over there and he’ll fit right in."

2 Days or Die
2 Days or Die
March 23, 2004
Download at iTunes
Tom Salta has established himself as a heavyweight in the video game industry in recent years with epic scores to several Western titles. However, he first came to attention with the original album 2 Days or Die under the pseudonym Atlas Plug. The ten tracks characterised Salta’s dense style with their high-octane breakbeats, hip-hop vocals, rock grooves, and orchestral overlays. Iconic tracks on the album have since appeared on numerous licensed racing soundtracks.
The opener “Halfway Til Bliss” immediately subjects listeners to the aggressive style of the album. Salta creates a backing track featuring distorted rhythm guitar riffs, rapid electronic beats, and obsessively repeating piano chords. The texture of the piece varies as different forces enter and dissipate, but Salta maintains the rhythmical energy and tense mood throughout in a way few other composers would dare to. The result is especially engaging and threatening both within the album and as licensed background music in Crackdown. “Rule the World” is even more beat-heavy than the opener and Salta doesn’t hesitate to make use of electronic distortions and experimental voice samples above the booming bass line. Note that it is sadly distinct from Salta’s classic track “Around the World”, which was made after the album was released.
There are a number of tracks on the album that are unlikely to appeal to most audiences. “The Ace, The Only” captures the bravado of a street racer with assertive voice samples against fraught electro-acoustic samples. However, the repetition of “I’m the one, the ace” and “I’m the one, the only” is likely to become boring or annoying after a while. “Get Rolled On” is a relatively misguided theme dominated by a rapper’s bellows against Arabian-influenced beats. Additional samples such as semi-erotic cries and passages in foreign languages are incorporated in a way that simply sounds random rather than multifarious as intended. Fortunately, the title track incorporates forceful vocals in a relatively successful way. The especially jagged rhythm guitar riff and apocalyptic string crisis motifs add to the waves of energy emanating from this track.
There are a few more cinematically inclined tracks later in the album. “Truth Be Told”, for instance, opens with a relatively soothing soundscape featuring vocals and electronic beats. Following sudden introduction of an epic string motif, the track intensifies into a high-octane beatfest. It’s very memorable and poignant. “Crimson Phoenix” is another action-packed beatfest, but creates a movie-like feel of the end being near with its orchestral overtones, poignant samples, and uplifting chord progressions. It would have been desirable for a few more tracks on the album to exhibit such a personal mood in order to add variety and stop the aggression from becoming overbearing. Afterwards, the Arabian-influenced techno tracks “Winds of Sand” and “Steel Run” gets the tempos racing for the last time. The arguably misplaced “Infiltrate This” subsequently provides a moody conclusion to the album with distorted espionage grooves against ambient synthscapes and gradual piano use.
Overall, 2 Days or Die was a promising debut for Tom Salta. It effectively demonstrated his relatively unique hybridised style and inclination to create tense, aggressive sounds. Despite this, the actual tracks on the album vary from being instant hits such as “Halfway Til Bliss” and “Truth Be Told” to being select tastes such as “The Ace, The Only” and “Get Rolled On”. It’s also relatively limited in terms of variety of mood and overall playtime. Fortunately, Salta is working on a successor that should be released within the next year or so. If he maintains the style and creates even more classic tracks, we’ll be in for a winner.

Mark asked us o Move on...from an emotional tie
So sorry for the radio silence... its been exam time and every free minute was taken up with revision or reading up on Chinese Medicine... it's not like I haven't been thinking about you guys and the wake up movement.
Mark , the skeleton staff are back sailing the ghost ship .. I had a long think about this challenge of letting something emotional go. Ever since I’ve moved in with B the destuffication has continued, I’m still taking a bag of things to charity each week, I’m moving books I’ve read on, I’m throwing away things which are not used or are pretty. Still, sometimes I feel like our little house is closing in on me but sometimes,just sometimes, I feel zen and super organised. Anyway…back to the challenge. When my Dad died my Mam and sisters were quick to clear out his stuff, I’m a little more measured and would have liked some time to consider. As a gift Mam gave me his favourite red tie. It now sits tied an old teddy with a picture of Dad next to it and it just well it’s just something to say hello to. What they didn’t know was from the bin I retrieved his pillow which he laid his head on and the blanket which kept him warm to the very end. The blanket was brown, well used and bobbled and not the nicest of blankets. But you see it was my connection to him and it smelled of him. I took it home and had them on the sofa with me for a week and then I stored them under my own bed with my other bedding and each time I went into the ottoman to retrieve a clean sheet or duvet I would stroke and smell and have a sad moment thinking of my Dad’s final days. A few weeks later my son was having some friends over for a sleepover and not knowing the significance of the pillow used it for his friends to sleep on. I was horrified, but still looking back very raw from his death but it broke the spell of the pillow. Over three years since his death and I know felt ready to get rid of the blanket, every time I saw it there snuggled among my own bedding, it just made me sad as it reminded me of the dark days when my dad was very sick and not the good smiley days. I took some scissors with me in the car and I was going to cut a piece to keep, still reluctant to let go.. but in the end I put it whole in the clothes bank. Letting go, acceptance, he's gone but he lives within me everyday and I hope the way I live my life would make him proud of me.

We typically think of a selfie as a photo taken by and of oneself, whether in a mirror or by holding a camera out at arm’s length, hence the name. But here's a recent anecdote from Language Log suggesting that some people are extending it more figuratively:
In front of the window of a candy store in Peebles, a small town about an hour's drive south of Edinburgh, an elderly American woman approached a gentleman she didn't know and, holding out a cell phone, asked:
"Would you please take a selfie of my friend and I in front of this window?"
She was not aware that she had approached a linguist.
Lest you think it's only older people who are using selfie to mean something like "photo of the camera-owner, probably to be posted on social media," here's an example from Tumblr (for ease of viewing, I’ve put the caption on the picture instead of as a tag).
So a selfie doesn't have to be a photographic, social media version of a self-portrait: Henry VIII, after all, wasn't an artist like Van Gogh painting himself and he definitely wasn’t on Facebook. Rather, he was the one who commissioned the painting, just as the tourist asked the linguist to take a picture of her.
This Atlantic article points out that it's not even clear that a selfie must only contain the self: the Ellen selfie has some dozen people in it and wasn't technically taken by Ellen, although it was at her request. And Ellen is hardly atypical in grabbing a few friends to join her in a shot or handing the phone over to a participant with slightly longer arms (although granted, we're not all friends with Bradley Cooper and Meryl Streep). Coinages such as "group selfie," "groupie," and even "ussie" have been suggested for selfies containing multiple people, but even among people who use selfie sticks they haven't caught on.
We can think of the extended meaning of selfie as more like the meaning of autobiography, although in a different medium. Many celebrities hire ghostwriters rather than write their own autobiographies, but an autobiography is still different from a biography because the subject has commissioned the work to be made and has a potentially-considerable amount of influence over how it is presented. And it's also not inconsistent with the spirit of an autobiography to include a description of the friends and family members of the subject. In fact, it would be a pretty strange autobiography that didn't mention a few other people, at least in passing.
The analogy of an autobiography further helps us makes sense of selfie-spinoff coinages such as shelfie (bookshelf) or sealfie (seal), where the subject isn't necessarily in the photo at all (Google introduced Gmail Shelfie today, though keep in mind that it's April Fools' Day). The "self" aspect indicates here that this is something the subject owns or wishes to be identified with, rather like how you could write an autobiographical essay about only a specific portion of your life.
Do you use selfie only in its most limited sense, or in a more extended way? And are there any other extensions or variations of selfie to add to this list?

We took our year 2 and 3 Acoustics and Audio Engineering students to the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester yesterday. Finished in 1996, the hall is home to three orchestras: the Hallé, the BBC Philharmonic and Manchester Camerata.
When acoustic engineers want to characterise a hall they measure the room impulse response, which is what is picked up on a microphone when a short sharp sound is made. For a big venue you need a loud source, hence why I’m firing a starting pistol.
This is what an impulse response looks like. The first vertical line (at time=0) is caused by the pistol shot after it has travelled directly from the gun to the microphone in the stalls. Everything else to the right is reflections from the walls, floor and ceiling that arrive later because they have to travel further.
The impulse response captures what the room adds to music played on the stage, It is the starting point for acoustic analysis. One of the key parameters to calculate from the impulse response is the reverberation time. This measures how long sound reverberates around the hall before becoming inaudible.
In the empty hall, the reverberation time in the Bridgewater Hall was measured to be about 2.3 seconds for most frequencies. If the reverberation time in an auditorium is too short, then any music would sound dry and insubstantial. If it is too long, then the notes run into each other and become a mush during fast passages of music. A value of just over 2 seconds when the hall is empty, is a typical design value for a good quality concert hall for classical music.
One of the features of the Bridgewater Hall is it has a very powerful bass response. This is reflected in the reverberation time which rises to 3 seconds at low frequency. As an ex-double bass player, I like to hear lots of bass so love this. I have heard others say there is too much bass in the hall. As with types of music, we can have individual tastes for the acoustic properties of concert halls.

Thanks to Rob Harris from Arup Acoustics and the Bridgewater Hall for their help with the visit.

Internet scams are among the 7 most common scams that cheat people out of their money. When this happens, you don’t only lose out on the money that the scam costs you; you also lose some sense of security about your online activities. Protect yourself to avoid becoming a victim.
There are dozens of different types of Internet scams that you have to watch out for. These are the five biggest ones to avoid:
1. Advance Fee Scams. In this scam, you are asked to pay a fee in advance before you can obtain a product or service. This may happen if you try to order a service online from an illegitimate site. It may also happen in the format of first receiving an email saying that you have won money but requesting that you send a fee for the taxes in advance of receiving the money.
2. Checks for Overpayment. This scam is the opposite of the advance fee scam. In this case, you have posted something online for rent or sale. The person wants to send you a check for an amount that is more than the amount that you requested. They want you to send the difference back to them. You can tell that this is sketchy but what exactly is going on? The person is scamming you out of the money that you send to them because their check is going to bounce and you’re not going to get anything from them. You may also end up having to pay bounced check fees.
3. Emails from the federal government or your bank. One of the biggest online phishing scams involves requesting your personal information by posing as the IRS or a legitimate bank. If you receive an email from these types of places asking for personal information, assume that someone is trying to steal your identity. The IRS wouldn’t send out unsolicited emails trying to contact you. Always call the government organization or your bank. Don’t use a number that is supplied in the email. Look it up in your own personal records instead.
4. Money requests from your online friends. What would you do if you were to receive an email or social networking message from a friend saying that they were in an emergency and needed some cash? Many people don’t think twice before sending them the money online. Watch out, though. It’s increasingly common for Internet scammers to use these methods to convince you to send money to them. You won’t know about it until you ask your friend later about how that emergency played out and you get a dumbfounded look in response.
5. Unbelievably low rents. You definitely want to use common sense when using the Internet to find a place to rent. One Internet scam involves people who copy real ads of rental properties but advertise them at insanely low rent prices. These people may ask for your financial information to see if you qualify to rent the place. They may even ask for an upfront deposit to hold the property for you. Then they steal your money and you don’t get a place to rent because the legitimate owner wasn’t the one renting it to you.
As you can see, these are all Internet scams that can be avoided if you use common sense and safety precautions in your online interactions. Don’t ever send out personal information online. Ignore emails requesting any type of money from you until you’ve verified the request with a legitimate agency or individual. And finally, trust your gut instinct. If an online deal sounds too good to be true then it almost always is.
What other internet scams are you aware of? How do you protect yourself from becoming a victim of internet fraud?

Kindergartners' versions of 'Sunflowers' by Van Gogh using only hot (warm) colours
Kindergartners' versions of 'Starry Night' by Van Gogh using cold (cool) colours
In kindergarten we did a unit of work on 'Hot and Cold'. We covered it in Science, HSIE (human society and its environment), in English, Maths and Art.
For art, I taught the children the concept of hot and cold colours (It's actually warm and cool colours but I refered to them as hot and cold to tie in with the unit). Two of the art that they did were paintings based on Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers' and 'Starry Night'. For each lesson, they studied the colours used for each of his paintings. I then adapted these lessons for hot colours and for cold colours - only using hot colours for the vase of flowers and cold colours for the night scene.
When they had finished both paintings, we compared the two. Masha Allah, they could see the difference between them. They said that they felt happy and warm looking at the vase of flowers but cold yet calm looking at the night scene. Alhamdulillah, this was the objective of the lessons.

I like to think that I am in control of my life and get very frustrated when this control is taken away, even in trivial ways: when train delays make me late, when I am waiting for an interview panel to decide whether to employ me or when a relationship ends and I am on the receiving end of the “it’s not you, it’s me” speech. I often wonder how I would react to something more serious and substantial being taken out of my control. Something such as my health, my independence or my autonomy.
Autonomy and rights are a common focus of discussion, especially as we have moved from a paternalistic to a partnership model between the doctor and patient. Such issues have become central to the debate surrounding physician-assisted suicide and assisted dying. Do we have a right to choose the timing and manner of something so fundamental as our own death? To what degree do the wishes of an individual have to come second to the perceived adverse effects on society?
In a landmark, and now famous, case heard by the Law Lords in 2009, Debbie Purdy contested that the 1961 Suicide Act constituted an interference with her rights, within the context of her private life, under article 8(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights. She argued that she had a right to decide to kill herself, that this was part of her private life, and that this right was infringed upon by the 1961 Suicide Act. The Lords ruled in her favour. This did not, however, change the law; encouraging or assisting suicide still carries a sentence of up to 14years imprisonment. As a result of this ruling the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) was forced to issue new (interim) guidance on who should be prosecuted. This guidance concentrated not on the health of the victim as may have been expected, but on the motivations of the suspect – for example, clear evidence of compassion mitigates against prosecution. So we now have a situation in which current law acknowledges that a person has a right to a private life, and that this extends to the decision to end their life, but that assisting another person to do this is illegal. However, if assisted suicide is thought to have taken place but to have been done for compassionate reasons and not for personal gain a prosecution is unlikely to be pursued (none of the 31 cases brought to the attention of the DPP since Feb 2010 have been prosecuted).
Some have argued that this situation is appropriate and that current law has “a stern face but a kind heart.” They argue it maintains a necessary hard line against any attempt to end a life, but allows for understanding and individual circumstances to be taken into account when rulings take place. However, those who have had experience of this process do not feel it is fit for purpose. It leaves relatives, friends and doctors with the threat of criminality hanging over them as they struggle to make difficult decisions, with compassion and dignity. One of the necessary factors for not prosecuting is that the person assisting in the suicide does not benefit from the death, but it does not define what would constitute a benefit. As Debbie Purdy points out, if her husband inherits half of their house has he benefited from her death? It also perpetuates an inequality that those who are physically able can end their own lives, either themselves or by travelling to Dignitas, but those who have progressive diseases that leave them physically disabled cannot. They may decide to take their own lives earlier than they would wish to “before it’s too late”. Furthermore we have, as a society, accepted assisted suicide and do not stop those who wish to do so travelling to Dignitas in Switzerland. It is indefensible to export our moral dilemma abroad.
When we talk about the morality of assisted dying or euthanasia we often consider the difference between acts (eg injecting a lethal dose of drug) and omissions (eg removing a patient from a ventilator and “letting them die”). There are those that see these as morally distinct but Shaw, amongst others, argues that despite the fact that legally the two cases would be treated very differently (possibly a charge of murder in the first case) there is no moral distinction. He goes further and considers how we define death and its implications. “If we agree that brain death is the end of a person, we should adopt brain life as the central aspect of personhood in terminal patients and accept that the body is merely another type of life support.” If this is the case, then “turning off” that life support via the mechanism of active assisted suicide would be ethically permissable. Such examples and comparisons are helpful in highlighting the inconsistencies in our initial “gut feelings.”
Throughout all of these difficult debates we must be very clear as to our definitions. The call for a change in the law relates to “assisted dying” which specifically applies to ending the lives of those with terminal disease. This is different from “assisted suicide” which includes those who are not thought likely to die within the next 12months but who may have other reasons for wishing to end their life. There are some, such as Jacob M Appel (a bioethicist) who believe that all competent adults have a right to end their own lives, and that the right to die is a useful test of the overall freedom of a society. There are not many who share his view and this is not what is being proposed. Importantly the current proposals for a change in favour of assisted dying would not help Tony Nicklinson, who is currently fighting a legal battle for his right to die. After suffering a massive stroke he is paralysed below the neck and can communicate only by blinking or through limited head movement. He has, on numerous occasions argued that his existence is undignified, intolerable and that he is in constant suffering. This is not the view of every paralysed patient but this is not the point: the only person who can decide on whether they have quality of life is the individual. Tony Nicklinson successfully articulates his wish for autonomy:
“By all means protect the vulnerable; by vulnerable I mean those who cannot make decisions for themselves. Just don’t include me. I am not vulnerable. I don’t need help or protection from death or those who would help me.”
The judge was absolutely right when he said the underlying issues in the case “raise questions that have great social, ethical and religious significance and they are questions on which widely differing beliefs and views are held, often strongly”. Care not Killing and Dignity in Dying are just two campaign organisations on opposing sides of the debate. Tony Nicklinson is now seeking a declaration by the High Court that “it would not be unlawful on the grounds of necessity for Mr Nicklinson’s GP, or another doctor, to terminate or assist the termination of Nicklinson’s life”.
The Commission on Assisted Dying, which published its report earlier this year, took into consideration many valid fears including a slippery slope effect widening an initially narrow scope of the terminally ill to other patient groups; concern that the vulnerable would be coerced into decisions they would not otherwise choose; objections by doctors, who had concerns about a change in the doctor-patient relationship, or who would not want to be part of the process on moral or religious grounds; and wider concerns about what is deemed to be a good quality of life and who decides, including concerns from Disability Rights groups. The Commission’s chair Lord Falconer feels that a workable solution has been found and that it is time for a change in the law. Stringent safeguards, regulations, and monitoring have been proposed that should stop us using fear as an excuse to move forward with the debate.
Personally, my views on these issues have changed over time. I hope to remain in control of my own destiny, to the extent that this is possible, until the day I die. I certainly do not want others placing a value on my life and determining whether it has an appropriate level of quality. These are things only I can decide. As a physician I am a passionate believer in the value of high quality palliative care, and its ability to give people a “good death”. But I also believe that there are a group of people for whom no amount of drugs or counselling will alleviate their suffering, and who want a compassionate alternative to a life they feel is unbearable.
Putting personal views aside, there is an urgent need for greater public engagement with these difficult issues. The voices of those wishing to end their lives grow louder and more numerous. There must be open and honest public debate, scrutiny of the findings of commissions, and legislation in accord with the realities of living and dying in the twentieth century. Science and society have moved on; our ethics and laws must catch up. The medical profession needs it, patients deserve it, and the public demands it.

P95, checkl Brownells, page 298 in catalog 58.
BHPs took some fitting, but IMO, there was extra metal left because of the huge number of BHPs. Sig 220 should be easy I think.
Revolvers do take some fitting and I use them only on pinned front sight Smiths. If I were to put one on one of my J frame revolvers (solid front sights), I would send it out.
Remember, this is a down and dirty short range quick pickup front sight. While one of my BHPs has the 24/7 that has a rear insert too, I am not sure it is necessary.
It is very fast 10yards in, but I believe it is slower than regular sights at 25yards. That said, I shot a 6 shot 6" group from braced sitting with my BHP 9MM at 100yards.

NanoSail-D Deploys In Low-Earth Orbit
On Friday, Jan. 21 at 10 a.m. EST, engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., confirmed that the NanoSail-D nanosatellite deployed its 100-square-foot polymer sail in low-Earth orbit and is operating as planned. Actual deployment occurred on Jan. 20 at 10 p.m. EST and was confirmed today with beacon packets data received from NanoSail-D and additional ground-based satellite tracking assets. In addition, the NanoSail-D orbital parameter data set shows an appropriate change which is consistent with sail deployment.
"This is tremendous news and the first time NASA has deployed a solar sail in low-Earth orbit," said Dean Alhorn, NanoSail-D principal investigator and aerospace engineer at the Marshall Center. "To get to this point is an incredible accomplishment for our small team and I can't thank the amateur ham operator community enough for their help in tracking NanoSail-D. Their assistance was invaluable. In particular, the Marshall Amateur Radio Club was the very first to hear the radio beacon. It was exciting!"NanoSail-D will continue to send out beacon signals until the onboard batteries are expended and can be found at 437.270 MHz. It can be tracked on the NanoSail-D dashboard at: http://nanosaild.engr.scu.edu/dashboard.htm.
It is estimated that NanoSail-D will remain in low-Earth orbit between 70 and 120 days, depending on atmospheric conditions. NanoSail-D is designed to demonstrate deployment of a compact solar sail boom technology. This research demonstration could lead to further advances of this alternative solar sail propulsion and the critical need for new de-orbit technologies. This ejection experiment also demonstrates a spacecraft's ability, like the Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology Satellite, or FASTSAT, to eject a nano-satellite from a micro-satellite, while avoiding re-contact with the primary satellite.
"This is a significant accomplishment for both the FASTSAT and NanoSail-D projects. This accomplishment validates that we've met another of our primary mission objectives -- successfully ejecting a nanosatellite from an orbiting microsatellite," said Mark Boudreaux, FASTSAT project manager at the Marshall Center. "This is another significant accomplishment for our inter Agency, Industry and Governmental FASTSAT-HSV01 partnership team."

Trash-talking a player who's about to take a free throw is old hat. Normally, an opposing player will walk behind (or sometimes even in front of) the free throw shooter and whisper sweet nothings with the hope of sufficiently distracting him so that he'll miss. That gimmick has been around forever.
On Wednesday at the UAAP Final Four, FEU's Terrence Romeo took this routine to another level altogether.
In a video posted on Instagram by believelasalle, Romeo can be seen bringing his hand to his mouth and then touching the hand of La Salle's Jeron Teng, who is about to take a pair of free throws. The incident happened in the third period after FEU's Gryann Mendoza was slapped with a technical foul and Teng was assigned to take the free throws.
It's impossible to zoom in to Romeo's hand and solidly conclude that he did indeed spit on it, but what transpires next pretty much says that whatever it was that was transferred to his hand, Teng didn't like it one bit.
The DLSU star can be seen with a shocked look on his face, after which he complains to the referee and then tries to confront Romeo, who raises his arms as if he doesn't know what Teng is asking about.
Of course, Teng and the Green Archers got the last laugh after they ousted the Tamaraws, 71-68, to advance to the UAAP Finals for the first time in five years.
Here's the video:

The celebrations will bring little cheer to the sulking Marathi Manoos
Dileep Padgaonkar – Times of India 30/04/2010
Enthusiasm will be in short supply tomorrow when Maharashtra’s movers and shakers celebrate the 50th anniversary of the creation of the state. Most Maharashtrians are far too concerned about the problems assailing them from all sides to respond to the hype and hoopla. Indeed, the claims that the ruling establishment is bound to make about the strides the state has taken over the past five decades can only generate a torrent of cynical despair.
On the face of it, certain statistics that the rulers advance to bolster their claims might appear to be upbeat. Since 1960, the proportion of the literate population, for example, has more than doubled – from around 35 per cent to a little more than 77 per cent. Only Kerala among the major states has a more impressive record on this score. The figures for infant mortality and life expectancy, too, give cause for satisfaction.
The bald statistics about the overall growth of the economy are, at first sight, also pretty impressive. The state’s income has increased manifold as has per capita income. The latter stands at more than Rs 47,000, a figure that places Maharashtra way ahead of most states. But once you begin to go through the statistics with a fine toothcomb, the picture changes in a dramatic fashion. In Mumbai and its surroundings, the per capita income is close to Rs 74,000; in the Konkan, a little more than Rs 66,000; in Marathwada, it stands at some Rs 30,500; and in Vidarbha, it is Rs 29,000.
It is thus no surprise that about a third of Maharashtra’s population lives below the poverty line. On this count, in the country as a whole, the state figures third from the bottom as far as the number of people is concerned and fifth from the bottom in terms of percentages. Part of the reason for this must be attributed to the mismanagement of agriculture. Over the past five decades, the output of wheat, jawar, bajra, cereals, pulses, cotton, oilseeds and sugarcane has decreased, in some instances quite drastically.
Add to this the state’s failure to address the bleak situation in the drought-prone areas, notably of Vidarbha. Since 1995, over 40,000 indebted farmers have committed suicide, not least because they haven’t been able to benefit in full measure from various government schemes. The latter have in fact been niggardly compared to the schemes of other state governments surrounding Maharashtra.
The low agricultural output accounts for the sharp rise in food prices. This burden would have been easier to bear had people been gainfully employed. However, despite the setting up of manufacturing units, IT software enterprises and growth in other service sectors, job losses have been mounting. From 1995 to 2008, as many as 1,800 people lost jobs everyday. This was before the recession struck. Indeed, according to official figures, jobs generated by various government schemes declined by 30 per cent.
All this would have been enough cause for Maharashtrians to bemoan their fate. What also galls them is that the creation of the state has not allowed them to control the levers of the state’s economy. Before 1960, a bulk of commercial activity was in the hands of non-Maharashtrians: Gujaratis, Marwaris, Khojas, Bohras, Sindhis, Parsis and Punjabis. That is true today as well.
With the exception of the Kirloskars, no Marathi-owned company figures prominently in the country’s corporate world. The Marathas, who dominate politics and therefore hold the bureaucracy in a tight grip, have done pretty well for themselves. Political clout has enabled them to operate in areas where the resources of the state can be manipulated for personal gain: real estate, agricultural cooperatives and educational institutions.
In national politics, too, there is no Maharashtrian with an all-India appeal. That requires a reputation for intellectual rigour, personal integrity and a steadfast commitment to a set of ideas and principles. The last politician with such a reputation was Y B Chavan. Much the same conspicuous absence can be found in areas of scientific and artistic endeavour. How many Marathispeakers have emerged as national, let alone international, icons? In some fields – notably classical music and cricket – you can cite three or four names. Add to that a couple of scientists and writers. In the upper echelons of the armed forces and civil services, in think tanks and prestigious universities, in the national media and in the entertainment business too, Maharashtrians are few and far between.
Unable or unwilling to accept why things have come to this pass – above all, an aversion to risk and adventure – most Maharashtrians prefer to rail against the world. Those who exploit Marathi grievances for short-term political gains are content to promote vada-pao, force shop-owners to put up signs in Marathi and compel taxi drivers from outside the state to speak the language. Such swagger in an urban, increasingly cosmopolitan India invites ridicule. Maharashtrians need to regain their selfesteem. That is possible only when they discard their quintessentially mofussil mindset as, for instance, Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar, Kishori Amonkar and R A Mashelkar have done with such exemplary success.
Jai Maharashtra! all the same.

Free Introductory Workshop
9th December 2013
7 - 9pm at the Little Escape, 4 Paxton Mews, Off Westow Street, Crystal Palace, SE19 3RW.
The Lightning Process (LP) is a training programme that shows you a way to use the connection between your brain and body to help your health. Combining concepts from Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Life Coaching and the principles behind Osteopathy, it has wide applications, with people reporting improvement with the following:
o Neurological disorders
o Auto-immune disorders
o Sleep disorders
o Low self esteem
o Digestive disorders
When people feel stuck in some way - it may be that they are suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, lack of drive or purpose, stress or fatigue; they are aware of what they would like to change, but don't know how to achieve it.
What they don't realise is that there are often unconscious patterns that keep people stuck. The Lightning Process shows people how to spot and change these unhelpful patterns.
If people have health issues, understanding how the stress response works and how it can hinder our recovery is critical.
The training then shows people how they can harness their tremendous power to influence their health, happiness and wellbeing, by using simple but powerful techniques.
Simon Pimenta will be delivering this free workshop to explain the theoretical basis of this approach.
Sue, who suffered from agoraphobia and didn't leave the house for 18 months said after the 3 day training:
"After the first day of the process I felt a lot more positive. After the second day I couldn't believe the changes. I walked back to meet my parents on my own. I had not left the house or been anywhere on my own for 18 months and here I was walking through London, somewhere totally unfamiliar on my own! It really was amazing and I felt so happy, something I hadn't felt for a long time. Also that day we went into London on the tube went to Harrods and ended up going to see Chicago! There was no way I could have done this a few days earlier. At the end of the third day I knew I would now be able to cope with pretty much anything back home."

A man in his middle 30s sits in a pushchair, its wheels and his lap covered by a blanket. He is emaciated. His neck is wrapped to conceal infected lymph nodes. His hands are limp, and his eyes have the thousand-yard stare characteristic of late-stage tuberculosis.
Nothing in or about the photo itself suggests a date later than the mid-1880s. It was part of a large collection of 19th-century photographs purchased at an estate sale held at an elegant old home in Webster Groves, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.
Compare this image to one of young dentist John Henry Holliday, taken at the age of 20 for his 1872 graduation from the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery—one of two adult photos of him (the other is a signed photo of him taken in Prescott, Arizona, in 1879).
In both photos, notice the man’s sharply arched brows, the deep-set eyes, the jug ears. The noses are both straight, with a slight upward tilt at the tip. The cheekbones are wide and slightly depressed, relative to the lower jaws. The lengths of the jawlines are similar, as are the broad chins and the overall shapes of the faces. Those characteristics don’t change much with age and are used by modern facial recognition software to indicate a match between photos.
The older man’s mustache is more filled out, but not heavy. His hairline is equally high above a broad forehead, combed back instead of parted. Could this newfound photo be of Doc Holliday?
The honest answer is, we’ll never know, but this is how we would expect Holliday to look 15 years after his graduation from dental school and shortly before his death from tuberculosis.
Whether this is Holliday himself or some other poor soul dying of tuberculosis in the 1880s, perhaps this is how Holliday should be remembered: frail, but dignified; calm in the face of his death.
One last detail. Holliday was always careful about his clothing. The older man is wearing a soft cotton shirt, with sleeves that have been ironed to a knife-edge crease.
Author of acclaimed novels Doc (Random House, 2011) and Epitaph (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2015), Mary Doria Russell holds a Ph.D. in biological anthropology; she taught head and neck anatomy at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine.

America has a “men problem” that has overwhelmed families, divorce courts, social services, schools, and the criminal justice system. So many men lead lukewarm, often defeated, lives — and they hate it. At Man in the Mirror, we have a vision to see every church disciple every man. From a Bible Study started in 1986, we’ve grown into a ministry that has impacted thousands of churches and millions of men. Men need a proper diagnosis, followed by a ” treatment plan” and an execution strategy. That’s what we provide to local churches.
Since 1986, Man in the Mirror has worked with more than 25,000 churches and millions of men. We help churches create an environment where the Holy Spirit inspires men to engage in life-on-life discipleship. We do this with three interlocking strategies: Leadership Training with No Man Left Behind; Men’s Discipleship with the Journey to Biblical Manhood; and Local Coaching with Field Staff.
Our long-term goal is that, with God’s help, one million new men will lead powerful lives transformed by Christ by 2025.

UPDATE: Billy Shields tells New Times that he's "stunned and saddened" as Phoenix police investigate allegations that his daughter, Mindy, embezzled money from a campaign account belonging to Greg Stanton.
New Times posted the story earlier today about more than $75,000 reportedly taken from Stanton, a deputy attorney general and former councilman.
Shields says his family's trying to cope with the situation.
Shields, a well-known lobbyist and influential figure in Valley politics, tells New Times:
"I love my daughter with all my heart, and Greg is a good friend. While stunned and saddened, our family is trying to deal with this with love and understanding. While we can be helpful to her financially and emotionally, this is something my daughter will have to work through."
"We understand and respect the job the authorities have to do," he adds. "And we would ask that our friends and other families out there pray for our family."
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Support Our Journalism
Shields says he's been getting media calls regarding the story.
"Please ... make it clear that I will not be commenting further to any other media outlets," he says.
Phoenix police also are mum about the case.
Sergeant Trent Crump, a spokesman for Phoenix police, confirmed that officers are "currently investigating an alleged embezzlement," but said that they will not be giving interviews because the case is ongoing.

(Editor’s Note: I have selected some embeddable photos from Getty Photos and other sources that help illustrate scenes in the story, and may or may not be exact representations of the people and places mentioned. For example, the above photo is that of a hospital in London from 1912.)
This article is one of an 8-part series about Charlotte Fairbairn, and was written by our patron, John Fairbairn. To read the intro by the editor and see links to the other 7 parts of the story, refer to the Table of Contents page. On to the story—
Charlotte Francis Judd was borne in the Cook County Hospital in Albany New York on 14 March 1912. Her father was Trenor Park Judd, an entrepreneurial and very itinerant ‘businessman’ (read: “inventor”) of Scottish-English background, born and raised in Blandford, Chester Depot, and North Blandford in Massachusetts. He came from the line of “Deacon” Thomas Judd, who emigrated from Glasgow Scotland to Connecticut in 1635. One of the last of the ‘Yankee tinkers’, Trenor Parke Judd had an inventive mind but never quite could manage to make a business run properly.
“You have the most beautiful baby girl this hospital ever has seen!”
Upon being called to the hospital to receive the news, Trenor was told by an enthusiastic nurse, “Mr. Judd, you have the most beautiful baby girl this hospital ever has seen! Her laughing eyes and dark curls make her a real charmer.” Trenor, already the father of four other daughters (in descending age order, Florence, Ruth, Elizabeth, and Dorothy) and having been greatly desirous of a son, harrumphfed, “Yes, and she’ll be the last child in this family!” However, within ten seconds after she was put in his arms, the eyes and the curls had done their magic; she already was his favorite, a matter that later caused some strife between Florence and Charlotte. Florence and her husband never were able to have children of their own, although they tried desperately for them. However, because of this lack of personal experience and because of childhood episodes with helping raise four younger sisters, Florence never took strongly to the concept of nurturing motherhood.
Charlotte’s mother was a young Scots-Irish lass, a product of the Irish Convents and the schools of Massachusetts in the United States. Gertrude Anne (nee: Goodreau) was an offshoot of the Scottish Lyndon family of North Ireland, landed gentry who obtained estates during the Irish Plantations that were lost during the religious wars that followed.
Her mother … being a former teacher, saw to it that each of the girls studied and took pride in the accomplishment of learning.
When Charlotte was borne, her world was fast approaching the throes of the Great War, the ‘war to end all wars’. Most of her childhood was spent moving from one place to another as her father’s businesses started and failed. Any money Trenor made and any he could raise went into the next attempt to found a rock upon which the family could stand. Most were briefly successful, but all were built on the sand of a completely insubstantial and inadequate understanding of the realities of the business and financial worlds. Thus, Gertrude and her daughters took in washing and did piecemeal mending, ladies’ seamstery, and men’s tailoring to earn money for the bills.
Charlotte’s childhood was, nonetheless, a relatively happy one. As the baby of the family, mostly she was adored, spoiled, and pampered by her four older sisters, her mother, and the father she had charmed. Her mother, however, being a former teacher, saw to it that each of the girls studied and took pride in the accomplishment of learning. Each daughter, in turn, graduated with honors from high school, quite a significant accomplishment in those days. It was from her financially inconsequential father that Charlotte learned about her imagination. Her mother encouraged her to use it, but both taught her how to do so.
Editor here. I will keep my comments brief and let the story stand on its own merit. However, let me leave you with a brief glimpse of what’s coming next week. Next week, Charlotte will fall in love, get married, and have her first baby. Her baby will prove to be rather adventurous chap, and Charlotte calls upon the help of an unusual “nursemaid” to help her keep an eye on him.

Phone won't read SDCard and now SIM card?
Tonight my phone said that my SDCard was unmounted so I opened up the phone and took it out and put it back in, however the phone read "SDCard Damaged." I then plugged it into a friend's phone and had the same error. Shortly after I plugged my phone into my computer but it wasn't picking it up. I then shut it off and took out everything and tried to clean it (I've had the phone in a case for awhile). After reinserting the SIM card and SDCard, I got the same message for the SDCard followed by "Please enter SIM Card."
I know neither are not damaged b/c I inserted my SDCard into my adapter and then into my laptop's card reader and was able to recover my files. Plus I put my SIM Card in another phone and could dial out just fine.
Any ideas on why this happened and how it could be fixed?
(Sorry for the long post, i am a n00b here)

The Withings Go was released earlier in 2016 in the already crowded market of activity trackers. But what makes it very striking is that it offers the best balance so far in any of fitness trackers already on the market today. So let’s talk more about it, shall we?
When it comes to wearables, the first aspect that it must excel is its design. Simplicity is always the key when it come wearable design. Fortunately, the Withings Go is right on when it comes to design. It’s a watch that you will feel confident to wear around in any type of environment. It even comes with a couple of features that gives it complete functionality.
Additionally, the Withings Go is bundled together with two extra accessories, a clip case and silicone wrist wrap. The clip case will be useful if you prefer to have it slip over your clothing or on your pocket. While the silicone wrist wrap will make this wearable become a conventional watch. But I recommend that you slap your Withings Go on your wrist if you don’t want to accidentally lose it or if you simply want to see it easily.
The Withings Go is a simple-looking tracker. Despite its simplistic design, it still offers plenty of functionality. General activity tracking is one of main functionalities of the Withings Go and it displays all your activity data on a circular progress. It does so by displaying the data on the device’s always-on E Ink screen. The display is easy to see especially in bright sunlight.
Wearing the Withings Go on the wrist will make it easier for you monitor your sleep since it is a very competent sleep tracker as well. Its waterproof feature makes it suitable for monitoring all your swimming sessions. The device has an excellent build quality that gives it a major advantage against similarly priced fitness tracker in the market that don’t offer much water resistance.
- Activity tracker
- 1 inch circular always-on E Ink display
- Android and iOS support
- Sleep tracking
- Swim tracking
- Water resistance
- Excellent battery life
- Unobtrusive design
- Clear display
- Simple operation
- Poor watch functionality
- Tricky wrist strap clasp
- No backlight
- No GPS
As those who’ve dipped their toes into the activity tracking market will already know, it’s a crowded space, but few seem to have managed to combine the usability of the Go, along with its versatility, exceptional 8-month battery life and a sub £50 price tag (£49.95).
A well-balanced fitness tracker that comes with all of the basic functionalities that you need from a fitness tracker.

Modern, Original Timepieces with Vintage Inspirations...
I began my watch making journey decades ago as a watch collector. My collection was vast and ranged from hundreds of pieces from quartz to mechanical, from plastic to platinum, from one-hand to 6 hands, from no complication to jump hour complications. From this, the most valuable lesson I learned was that an inexpensive watch can be made just as well as an expensive one if done passionately and correctly.
My next phase in horology consisted of modifying existing watches with after market parts. I purchased watchmaking tools and interchanged bezels, crystals, hands, and even movements. The next logical step was to hand build my own watches from the ground up with sourced catalog parts. Many of my family and friends benefited from this phase as I gave them all away as gifts. From these experiences, I learned the technical intricacies of watchmaking. However, I grew frustrated with the lack of parts available for the watches I had designed. As such, I ultimately founded my own watch company so my designs could be entirely custom made.
ManchesterWatchWorks was founded in March of 2014 with the cornerstone belief that high quality watches with timeless designs can be exclusive and affordable too. To this end, all of our timepices are designed in-house and all components are custom made to our strict, detailed specifications. The lone exception being the movements. These are carefully selected to be proven robust and reliable movements with as little maintenance required as possible. As such, most are either Swiss or Japanese manufactured movements.
You can always expect our timepieces to be thoughtfully designed and well engineered with a high build quality and extremely good value. All of our original models will be released one at a time with only one production run, so they receive the attention they deserve. As such, your MWW timepiece will always be a limited edition piece and we will stand behind each and every one we make. In addition, to show our sincere appreciation for our customers, anyone who purchases a ManchesterWatchWorks watch directly from us will have a 10% discount for all future purchases (see "Information" tab for complete details).
We are also firm believers in giving back to our community and our planet. As such, we strive to use eco-friendly packaging whenever we can. Plus, 1% of all gross sales will be donated annually to St. Jude's Children Hospital and/or the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Please visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/mww802 for all the latest ManchesterWatchWorks news and updates.
Enjoy your time, Douglas Kim Founder
P.S. Since we were born in Vermont, our logo not only depicts the letters 'M' and 'W' for our name, but also the Green Mountains (top triangles) and their reflections on a glassy lake (bottom triangles).

A molecular formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols to indicate the types of atoms followed by subscripts to show the number of atoms of each type in the molecule. A subscript is used only when more than one atom of a given type is present. Molecular formulas are also used as abbreviations for the names of compounds. The structural formula for a compound gives the same information as its molecular formula the types and numbers of atoms in the molecule but also shows how the atoms are connected in the molecule. The structural formula for methane contains symbols for one C atom and four H atoms, indicating the number of atoms in the molecule Figure 1. The lines represent bonds that hold the atoms together. A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms or ions that holds them together in a molecule or a crystal.

Backpackers on a long trip in a remote location often rely on their knowledge
of the clouds and wind to know what the weather will be like in a few
hours or the next day, but this method is not too reliable and cannot
be used to make predictions several days into the future.
The best forecasts take into account the weather events that are
happening over a broad region. Knowing where storms are now can
predict where storms will be tomorrow and the next day. Technology,
such as weather satellites and Doppler radar, helps the process
over a large area, as does the network of weather observations.
The chaotic nature of the atmosphere means that it will probably always
be impossible to predict the weather more than two weeks ahead; however,
new technologies combined with more traditional methods are allowing
forecasters to develop better and more complete forecasts. Read on
to learn more about some of these tools!
Unlike ordinary radar, which is able to report the location and strength
of precipitation, Doppler radar is additionally able to indicate
the wind direction, wind speed and boundaries between warm fronts
fronts. This is why Doppler radar has become such an indispensable
tool for weather forecasters.
Satellites, dropsondes, weather stations, weather buoys, ships,
and airplanes are all sources of weather data. Weather stations
weather parameters at fixed locations. Ships and airplanes act
like moving weather stations, recording weather data at their current
each day 1800 dropsondes collect weather information as they drop
through the sky after being launched from balloons or released
Satellites, with their unique perspective on the weather, are important
sources of weather data as well. The data from all of these sources
are channeled into a supercomputer at a central location to make
weather predictions that take into account the current weather.
Numerical forecasting, or using mathematical calculations to predict
the weather, is not a job for the average calculator, or even
your average desktop computer! Supercomputers, which are capable
of doing more than
2 billion operations a second, are fed weather information
from satellites, weather stations, and other sources. To generate
they perform many calculations that take into account broad-scale
factors such as air pressure differences, solar
rotation, and the water cycle, as well as the current information.
This allows forecasters to generate more accurate forecasts based
on a comprehensive
regional perspective about the current weather, instead of
just observations at a single point. Thus, backpackers who sets out
knowing a weather forecast generated using computers and regional
data will have a good idea of the weather that they may encounter.

tl;dr - lexi is now working with the amazing duo behind the Next Level Escape outfit in Sydney! But reviews are continuing!
We've always wanted to be very open about how and why we review escape rooms, as well as flag any potential bias in our reviews. So we're letting you know that lexi is now working with Next Level Escape, a new escape room outfit in Sydney.
This came after our review of their Game of Thrones Blitz Room, so you needn't fear any bias there. We'll be continuing with business as usual when it comes to reviews. We still love escape rooms a lot and hold by our original principle that quality is incredibly important when it comes to introducing more people to the concept of escape rooms. Of course, we'll be watching closely for any bias, and lexi will NOT be involved in any further reviews of the Next Level Escape rooms.
It's all about ethics in escape room journalism, don't you know? ;)

Manta, an international data startup company with a Tampa HQ, has secured $35 million in Series B funding.
Manta is a data lineage company based in Prague that established its U.S. HQ in Tampa last month. The new funding round was led by Forestay Capital, with participation from existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, SAP.io, Senovo, Credo Ventures, Dan Fougere and new investor European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, according to Manta’s Thursday announcement.
The firm recently raised $13 million in a Series A funding round that was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, SAP.io, Senovo VC and Credo Ventures.
“Forestay, our lead investor, found us, and their timing was perfect (I usually don’t like fundraising inbound leads). After a few meetings, I had a strong feeling that these were people I’d want to work with, and I am happy that we became business partners,” Manta CEO Tomas Kratky said in an emailed statement regarding the firm’s $35 million investment journey.
“We had already done two rounds before – our seed and Series A – so I had a pretty good understanding of what the funding process would look like. However, one shift I noticed is that Series B funding was more about financials, sales efficiency and other critical metrics. Product and vision were still the cornerstones, but there was much more data and graphs around it than before.”
“Data is among an organization’s most valuable assets, and Manta’s automated platform is transforming the way data is managed with a clear and comprehensive visualization of all data flows, saving customers time, money and resources,” Marieke Christmann, senior principal at Forestay Capital, the lead investor, said in a release.
Manta currently has 152 employees and operates out of WeWork in downtown Tampa where it has roughly 40 employees. The new investment is expected to ramp up the hiring and will have approximately 220 employees by the end of the year.
Kratky told the St. Pete Catalyst about its local growth plan. “Our employees seem to enjoy it [working in Tampa] so we will likely stay in the general Tampa area. Though I would never say never to St. Petersburg, we’d need to get input from the team prior to making that decision. We’ll always go with whatever is best for our employees and right now that seems to be Tampa.”
He added: “One of the reasons that we chose Tampa is because it’s a growing tech hub. Although we knew that prior to moving operations here, I’ve been very surprised at exactly how quickly it’s growing. It seems like another tech company relocates here every other week, which has been great to see. On a more personal note, being from Czechia, one of my favorite things about this part of the world is the beaches. The white sand never gets old.”
Over the next two to three years, almost all of Manta’s accrued investments will go towards scaling. The funding will allow the company to continue its momentum and expand its global footprint and product development, Kratky said.
Manta has a global presence with new offices in Lisbon, Portugal and Dublin, Ireland.
“Manta is on a mission to eliminate data blind spots, providing companies with complete visibility and control of the most complex aspects of their data pipeline. Data is the lifeblood of every organization and is the most critical asset for enterprises today,” Kratky said. “Over the last decade, the complexity of the data stack has exploded, leaving most organizations struggling with several critical side effects including: a high number of material incidents, significant risk exposure, slow change management, and a significant amount of data engineering resources continuously wasted on routine, manual tasks.
“We are excited to continue our momentum by expanding our global presence and product development across ecosystems as more companies recognize the actual value of data lineage and observability.”

Slí na Sláinte is a new art in health project by staff affiliated with Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown. The project aims to improve the hospital experience for patients, staff and visitors. A new Hospital Wall Gallery has been established and the inaugural exhibition, Slí na Sláinte (Path of Health), was launched on 15 June 2018, with artwork created and curated by Connolly Collective, an art group attached to the hospital.
The project’s initial aims include the introduction of art displays throughout the hospital corridors in the hope that those patients who are mobile will move through the corridors and enjoy the art, while staff and visitors will find it relaxing and inspiring. Other aspects of the project include creating and supporting community collaborations within the hospital and the wider Fingal area.
The new Hospital Wall Gallery is located on Level 4 outside Elm and Maple wards. The inaugural Slí na Sláinte exhibition by Connolly Collective was made possible by a generous donation from Professor Tom Walsh, Consultant Surgeon, who officiated at the launch. The art work is for sale with 20% of sales donated to the Blanchardstown Hospital Society.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Sometimes it is the people behind the scenes who make the greatest impact on a person’s life. For many Penn State students, those people are the counselors at the Multicultural Resource Center (MRC), a University Park campus resource that provides individual counseling and educational services to students from underrepresented backgrounds.
At the MRC, students have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with counselors to receive support in all aspects of student life. Guidance is offered for academic, financial and personal issues. While the center works primarily with first-year and transfer students, the staff’s goal is that no student is turned away and every issue is addressed.
“We don’t say, ‘this is an academic issue so you need to go to this office,’ ” Moses Davis, director of the MRC, said. “We work with students to improve their chemistry grade. We help them find financial aid. We help them work out relationship and roommate issues. We talk to them about the latest episode of ‘Scandal.’ ”
“This place is a safe haven for our students. It’s a place for them to come and just breathe, despite anything else that is going on out there. They can just be.”
— Moses Davis, director of Multicultural Resource Center
Davis describes the MRC as a sanctuary for students to visit to escape the challenges that may accompany life as a college student.
“This place is a safe haven for our students,” he said. “It’s a place for them to come and just breathe, despite anything else that is going on out there. They can just be.”
Shonna Graham, a current University of Connecticut student affairs graduate student and 2012 Penn State graduate, agrees. For her, the MRC is the one place where she says she was accepted for who she is.
“You can walk through the door and there is no judgment,” Graham said. “You’re not defined by your race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion. It’s a safe zone.”
Graham was amazed by the special affinity she felt toward the MRC. After transferring from Penn State Mont Alto for her junior year, she initially found coming to the much larger University Park campus was not what she expected. She yearned for the intimate feeling and close relationships she experienced at the Mont Alto campus.
“University Park is huge,” she said. “When I came here, I really struggled. And I found that the MRC provided me with the opportunity to feel like I was connected to Penn State. They just really opened their arms to me and really helped me transition.”
Graham says her appreciation for the staff at the MRC is immeasurable.
“There is a quote that I live by,” she said. “ ‘Show me the light at the end of the tunnel, show me that light so that I may be that light to someone else.’ The MRC was my light.”
In addition to these groups, the MRC also has strong working relationships with other University employees including college multicultural directors, academic advisers and financial aid staff who actively assist students.
“The research shows that if we don’t get our hands on first-year students and transition students, they don’t stay very long,” counselor Mike Wood said. “When we start working with a student early on, their level of success and their opportunities to remain at Penn State increase.”
Diane Farnsworth, assistant director of Penn State's Multicultural Resource Center, has worked there for 28 years and is dedicated to the students she serves. “It really is my life,” she said.

Former student Will Dennis supports that statement, stating that the MRC is the reason he holds a Penn State degree.
“The support I received from the MRC was life-changing,” the 2010 graduate said. “I truly accredit my graduating to the MRC. If it weren’t for the staff there, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Originally from an urban area, coming to Penn State was a cultural adjustment for Dennis. The small town and large university were different from what he had always known. But when he visited the MRC, Dennis no longer felt isolated.
“At the MRC, they saw me as a person,” the current strategy analyst for Accenture said. “I wasn’t just a number. They saw who I really was — my goals, my ambitions, my potential. They supported me and showed me how to reach my goals.”
Reaching out to the MRC as a freshman, Dennis regularly visited with counselors for guidance. During his tenure as a Penn State student, Dennis faced financial difficulty and was concerned he would not be able to finish his education at the University. With the help of MRC counselors, Dennis was able to explore multiple avenues of financial aid that he hadn’t known existed. The counselors worked with him to find, apply and secure the aid he needed.
“They helped me so much,” Dennis said. “Because of them, I was able to stay at Penn State. I couldn’t have done it without them.”
But it isn’t just alumni that have great things to say about the MRC. Dayanna Reeves, a senior majoring in human development and family studies, has been taking advantage of the services offered by the MRC for the past four years.
“It is my second home,” the Lenfest and McNair scholar stated. “Everybody here is just open and honest and respectful.”
“At the MRC, they saw me as a person. I wasn’t just a number. They saw who I really was — my goals, my ambitions, my potential. They supported me and showed me how to reach my goals.”
— William Dennis, class of '10
Like Dennis, Reeves also experienced what she calls “extreme culture shock” when she came to Penn State. Growing up in inner-city Philadelphia, Reeves was raised around the African-American and Hispanic cultures, and the diversity she encountered at Penn State was intimidating to her.
“Everybody was just different,” she said. “I wasn’t used to being around so many people of different ethnic backgrounds. I didn’t know how to interact with people.”
But campus diversity wasn’t the only obstacle Reeves faced. Although she grew up in Philadelphia, she attended a relatively small high school where she could easily interact with teachers and other students. But as a Penn State freshman, things were different.
“It was shocking going in to a classroom with 700 students,” she said of her class in Thomas Building. She wondered, “How do I talk in class? How do I make a connection with the professors or TA?”
To get answers to these questions and advice on how to succeed at Penn State, Reeves visited the MRC on a weekly basis, meeting primarily with Diane Farnsworth, counselor and assistant director. As Reeves reported weekly updates, Farnsworth provided tips and advice on how to overcome some of those barriers.
“I really didn’t know how to handle things,” Reeves confessed. “Those weekly meetings really helped me deal with campus life.”
As she nears graduation, Reeves’ gratitude toward the MRC is palpable. In her four years at Penn State, the MRC has helped her overcome multiple obstacles, including selecting a major, and also recommended her as a McNair Scholar, entering her into a program that has aided her in securing a fully funded offer to attend the community health doctoral program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” she said with emotion in her eyes. “From the bottom of my heart — thank you.”
It is not unusual for students to graduate feeling a special connection to an individual. For some, it’s the quirky professor that pushed them to succeed. For others, it’s a resident assistant, a staff member or even someone like Mike the Mailman who brightens up their days on campus. But a perspective not heard as often is one of faculty and staff members feeling gratitude toward the students they serve.
“It really is my life,” Farnsworth said of the MRC. “My heart and soul are in my work, and when I meet with students, my heart and soul are in that moment.”
Having been with the MRC for 28 years, Farnsworth appreciates the diversity of students she meets and enjoys listening to and helping them address their needs. When students visit the MRC, Farnsworth and her colleagues joke that they “press the easy button,” giving students an opportunity to be open and honest. Many times, students just need a shoulder to cry on, a place to let go, and someone to listen.
Counselors understand that students view the MRC as a safe place that is free of judgement, and the staff embraces that characteristic.
“That’s what makes the MRC unique,” Davis said. “We care about the whole student. We look at everything.”
For the counselors at the MRC, going to work is something they look forward to on a daily basis. They understand that students view the center as a safe place that is free of judgment, and the staff embraces that characteristic. The counselors love working with students and learning from them.
“I learn something new every day,” Wood said. “I learn about them as students but also as people. It’s what I love most about what I do.”
Davis shares Wood’s outlook. When asked why he loved his job, he stated, “Your job is what pays your bills and your work is what leaves you inspired and allows you to inspire others. And, when you’re lucky, you’ll have a job that will allow you to do your work. The MRC allows me to do my work.”
The MRC will host its 23rd annual Senior Awards and Faculty/Staff Diversity Recognition Reception on Wednesday, April 15. Nominations for awards, which may be submitted online at http://equity.psu.edu/mrc/awards, will be received through March 14. For more information, visit the MRC at 220 Grange Building or go to http://equity.psu.edu/mrc.

He was like a Bill Nye the science guy of sex....he was telling me things about my clitoris that I didn't even know
you came downstairs saying you were now 'dressed to impress'

The Muppets may not be getting the best reviews for their ABC show, but they're certainly still trying to stay fresh with their commercials!
Ch-ch-check it out (above) and tell us what YOU think!
What's better than one baby panda???
TWO BABY PANDAS!!!
The Wolong Nature Reserve in China reported some VERY exciting news recently, as Haizi the giant panda has given birth to TWINS!!
The two cubs are the first pair to be born this year and mark a HUGE step in conserving the critically endangered species!
Giant pandas have difficulty breeding since females are only in heat for a few days out of the year, and poaching has been a huge problem for the species, so we're glad to hear these little guys will help carry on the panda name!

Jaime takes the cabbie's phone number and finds the address immediately. Good news. But, the cabbie has to stop and get gas. Bad news. Tammy and Victor show up at the Surfboard Fence. Victor decides to do the challenge. Luke has eight of the eleven boards finished when Victor starts. Victor and Luke have both taken their pants off, because their suits are falling off. It's mildly disturbing.
The Amazing Race is available on Amazon Prime.
Luke gets eleven surfboards up and fenced, but he doesn't have them all
right (weirdly, he messed up the final two China legs). It's kind of
tough, because they don't tell you which ones you mess up. Jaime and
Cara finally show up, not all that far behind Tammy and Victor. Luke
keeps missing on the final two surfboards. Jaime freaks out once she
starts, not recognizing any of the pictures on the boards. Luke's
futility continues, and you can tell he's getting really pissed off.
Victor is moving right along, almost caught up to Luke. Jaime is just
sorting out her surfboards.
Luke just wants to give up. Jaime appears to be making up a whole lot
of ground, working slowly and deliberately. Luke gets one of the final
two right that he's been getting wrong, so he has one left. Victor
also has one left, Jaime needs only two more. Victor finishes, gets
their final clue. They have to head to a gold club (whose name I'm not
going to bother trying to get right). The important thing is that it's
the final pit stop, the finish line. Luke helps Jaime out, and they
finish, and in return she helps out Luke. They both finish, Jaime and
Cara now in front of Margie and Luke.
Luke breaks down, disappointed, in the car ride. Jaime is also upset
she couldn't remember the first one, but, man, she made up a lot of time.
Tammy and Victor reach the finish line first, and by a fairly wide
margin, it appears, because CBS didn't even bother trying to make the
TAMMY AND VICTOR HAVE WON ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
They were probably the most deserving team. They were the best all
season long. Jaime and Cara finish second, Margie and Luke third. Stay tuned for Amazing Race coverage tomorrow, including interviews with the final three teams. <<PREVIOUS (1) (2) (3)-Oscar Dahl, BuddyTV Senior Writer

CALABASAS — One by one, members of the Calabasas High girls basketball team filed into the back of a large room where a Las Virgenes Unified School District board meeting was being held Tuesday evening.
On one side of the room, standing side-by-side — most with their arms folded — the girls stared across the room to a semi-circled table of a dozen district board members, including Superintendent Dr. Dan Stepenosky, who has drawn the ire of Calabasas basketball parents who have pegged Stepenosky as the person responsible for the dismissal of Calabasas girls basketball coach Jena Laolagi on April 14.
“I believe coach Jena is the heart and soul of this program,” freshman Jocelynn Townsend said to the board. “Her not being (the coach) is probably one of the worst decisions to ever be made. We ask that you reevaluate coach Jena being fired.”
Players and parents each had three minutes to speak in front of the panel Tuesday night. They shared one goal: to have Laolagi reinstated as the girls basketball coach.
“I’m overwhelmed with the love and support from my players and their parents,” Laolagi said. “It goes to show how important our community is to us. This is what being part of a team is all about.”
There was no dialogue between any player or parent with any board members regarding a decision on Laolagi’s reinstatement. The team and its community members are waiting for a response from the district in the coming weeks.
There was one comment made by board member Dallas Lawrence, who addressed the room after the final speaker. He thanked the players and parents for coming before saying, “you were heard.”
The room’s already testy feel became more uneasy when two chants broke out as the players and parents left, “Justice for Jena” and “Expose Stepenosky.”
Laolagi said she filed a complaint about Stepenosky — whose daughter was on the basketball team this past season — to school administrators on Nov. 18, 2021, claiming that Stepenosky’s actions had created what she described as a “hostile work environment.”
“Behind the scenes, I have had to endure bullying, harassment, and a hostile work environment from LVUSD administrators since August 2021. The people being hurt the most in this situation are my players. I am fighting for my team and my reputation,” Laolagi said last month.
The group of teenagers, parents and others expressed Tuesday how much they respect and appreciate Laolagi.

Sam Puathasnanon doesn’t have a daughter on Laolagi’s team at Calabasas, but his two daughters were taught and coached by Laolagi at Laurence Middle School. He addressed the board Tuesday night.
“I happened to notice, when I walked in, the district’s mission statement, which in part states: ‘the district aspires to enable each student to realize maximum potential as a responsible citizen who enhances the community and society,’ ” Puathasnanon said. “I can’t imagine anybody who embodies that better than Jena for the students in your district.”
Laolagi is an at-will employee and can be dismissed with no reason given, but the community is asking why? There has not been a reason given by the school district.
The team had been performing at a high level. The Coyotes reached the CIF-SS quarterfinals the last two years in Division 4AA and 3AA, respectively. The season prior to Laolagi’s arrival, the team was 6-21 and hadn’t reached the playoffs since 2014.
The team’s accumulative grade-point average this season was 3.7.
Parents of some of the players expressed that they felt like the team was being singled out. When Laolagi was let go, she was told to delete the team’s Twitter and Instagram accounts. The Calabasas football team has been through three coaches since 2016 (Casey Clausen, Chris Claiborne and Cary Harris), yet the social media accounts connected to the team remained intact through those changes.

— Tarek Fattal (@Tarek_Fattal) May 4, 2022
“Next school year will be my senior year,” Calabasas player Sally Werner said. “I was confident that with the leadership of coach Jena the team could win a championship. That’s how I wanted my senior season to turn out. Now, I feel as if all that has been stripped away from me and my teammates. I’m extremely saddened and angered by the firing of my coach…”
“I still have no idea what valid reason there was to (fire Laolagi), or if there is one at all,” she added.

QUICK HIT: Ryan Heim scored on a long touchdown run, QB Steve Zimmerman hooked up with Jared McCabe for a late TD pass on a fourth-down call and an aroused defense sacked opposing QB Stephen Sedesse nine times as Pine Grove churned out a 14-6 victory over Williams Valley in a matchup of Tri-Valley League unbeatens Friday night at Pine Grove’s Cardinal Stadium.
KEY MOMENT: Trailing 6-0 late in the opening quarter, the host Cardinals (6-0, 5-0) erased their one-score deficit when Heim blasted up the middle, then cut to the outside and wheeled 61 yards for an equalizing score with less than a minute to play in the first. Once Tristan White successfully tacked on the PAT, Jeff Sampson’s club seemed to settle down and dig in. Moments later, squat D-tackle Jesse Fisher buried Sedesse for a seven-yard loss and the momentum changed.
STARS AND STUDS: Let’s begin with Pine Grove’s defensive front seven, as Zimmerman, Scott Aungst, Mark Weinus, Scott Werner, Ryan Martin, Heim and Fisher brought plenty of pressure and harassed Sedesse throughout the 48-minute scrap. Nine times the Cardinals put the elusive Williams Valley senior on his back for minus-67 yards. … Heim also had a terrific night, rushing 28 times for 180 yards and his first-quarter score. Already the area’s top ground gainer, the 5-10, 160-pound senior upped his season totals to 1,115 yards and 12 TDs on 143 totes. Heim gained nearly 1,200 yards last season for a 1-9 Pine Grove side. … Williams Valley’s Cole Barnhardt was one of the few offensive bright spots for Tim Savage’s Vikings (5-1, 4-1), rushing 22 times for 145 yards.
NUMBERS GAME: Pine Grove outgained Williams Valley 215-165 and had more first downs (13) than the 11 picked up by Savage’s Vikings. … The zebras actually outgained both sides combined, flagging the combatants a combined 24 times for 238 yards. Williams Valley actually was whistled 17 times for 178 yards. … Savage’s Vikes also lost defensive lineman Dylan Wertz for next weekend’s scrap against undefeated Tri-Valley. Wertz was tossed early in the fourth quarter during a sequence that featured two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on the visiting Vikes. … Williams Valley had its 13-game league winning streak halted by the last team to defeat the Vikings in regular-season play. Pine Grove downed Williams Valley 23-18 on Oct. 28, 2011.
TOO GOOD NOT TO MENTION/MEDICAL NOTES: Late in the third quarter, one of the volunteers manning the chains who was located just before the opening kickoff was run off by one of the line judges. The gentleman, sporting a Williams Valley hat, was given a standing ovation by the visiting
fans. Moments later, one of those fans also was ejected from the stadium. And that came after one of the Vikes’ assistant coaches was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. … After absorbing a beating throughout, Sedesse was flat on his back at game’s end and getting the once-over from emergency personnel. Savage said the 6-2, 160-pounder was complaining of neck and rib pain.
BIG PICTURE: Unleashing a defensive effort constructed to harass and harangue Sedesse — and not give him time to find his receivers downfield or use his wheels to move the sticks — Sampson’s Cardinals shut down Williams Valley’s passing game by taking the standout senior out of his comfort zone. That made Savage’s Vikings highly predictable and Barnhardt the focus of the Williams Valley attack. Penalties also played a significant role, with the Cards taking full advantage.
WHAT THEY SAID: "I give every ounce of credit in the world to Vernon Strouphauer, who’s our defensive coordinator. Because I think he had five sleepless nights this week coming up with these defensive packages. He had them coming from everywhere. We knew they hadn’t seen the speed that we have at the defensive ends and we knew that if we kept it inside — he’s a heck of an athlete — and we saw in the game films that he likes to roll out and he likes to take off an his receivers come back well to the ball. So we figured if we put a lot of pressure on him and kept him in the pocket, we’d have success getting to him. And it happened.” — Sampson

Re: The Rodney Dangerfield of high-end scopes.
Just my 2 cents ok I have three NF's 2 are 5.5 X 22 and one 8 X 32 not the NXS style the older ones. I was looking for a good work scope and looked at three and had a chance to try a few different scopes the one you are talking about,NF and also a mark 4 . I mounted all three different brands on a board and set them up looking at a lable on a 55 gallon drum in my yard threw a open window and checked every vew hours to see if I could read the lable on a 55 gallon drum the end test was at about 3:AM and i could read moast of the lable out of my NF.
The mark 4 was the first to go at about 8:00pm your brand went at about 9:45. I know this sounds like a weard test but, here we can not hunt with a light and i hunt a lot of wolves in the night when the moon is in second quarter till it is full and from my NF it was like 12:00 noon plus when i bought my first two they were the only ones to have lit cross hairs that was important to me as far as my job goes also and she does return to zero every time.
The only problem i have is at -30 to -50 the OBJ and eye foces is like super glue to turn but at the extream cold that i work I am glad that anything works LOL LOL LOL. Matter of fact i am having another rifle made and am putting a Nesika action on it and when i talked to them they were worried that I may have problems in the extream cold becous of the tightness of there product.I know that had nothing to do with this but just through that in as to the work load my stuff goes through. and i have stuck with NF bouth are in or about the same price range so money was not the problem three large black wolves pays for the scope but the NF is super clear compared to the rest and gathers light better as far as i can say again this is my two cents worth.
I hope this came close to what you were looking for as to an answer:Coyote Slayer
Eat Moose 20,000 wolves can't be wrong

Are You Feeling as If You Need an Upgrade
While some people are reluctant to make a change, other people welcome it. If you count yourself in the second category, you feel more motivated when your surroundings are updated and vibrant. If your budget can only stretch so far, you will find that using the money for painting will provide the results you need.
How to Make a Paint Selection
However, you just cannot paint a wall and voila! everything changes. You need to make a paint selection based on several criteria. A qualified painter and decorator in West Kilbride can help you make a decision. For instance, you should choose your paint as follows:
- The area you want to paint
- The type of changes you are planning
- The natural lighting in the room
- How much use the room receives
For example, you may want to paint your kitchen. If so, you need to figure out just how many cans of paint will be needed to cover the space. You also need to include a primer. Most homeowners will add two coats of paint.
What Texture Do You Need?
You also need to consider the texture of the paint. Semi-gloss paint is the best choice as it is easier to clean than paint with a matte finish. Gloss paint may be too glossy and cause increased glare.
Paint a Small Sampling
When selecting a paint, paint a small sampling on the wall that you want to cover. In fact, add about three different shades to the wall to see how they look in the natural light of day and how they appear in the artificial light of night.

A mnemonic for recalling these hormones is - Ovaries are RIPE with hormones:
The Testes (singular: testis) are extremely essential components of the male reproductive gland. They are the paired male reproductive glands, roundish in shape, that produce sperm and male sex hormones, and hang in a small sac scrotum.
The testis secretes hormones which can be remembered by the mnemonic - Testis makes Mr. TIM strong:
- Inhibin, and
- Mullerian-inhibiting hormones.

How to change file permissions
In order to change the permission of a file, the first thing you need to do is to login to your cPanel. From the main page, please select the File Manager icon. A new window will open, and the files and folders, contained in your web space will be listed in alphabetical order.
To change a file's permissions, please click on the file name. In the top right corner of the page a list of options will appear. When you click the Change Permissions link, this list will be substituted with a table with 9 checkboxes.
Checking/unchecking each of the boxes will allow/disallow a single user or a group to do one of the three actions possible – read (view) a file, write (modify), or execute it. To apply any modifications you need to click the Change button.
Changing the permission status will affect the number at the bottom of the table. If you would like to, you can also set the numbers by directly replacing them with the desired values. Please click the Change button to save your settings.
Upon completing the operation, cPanel will show a message similar to the one below to confirm changes have been saved.
Set permissions on file.txt -> 0644
The message contains the name of the file that has been modified, the new permission set, and the system path on the hosting server.
Lithium Hosting recommends that you do not change file permissions to 777 unless this is required for scripts already installed to function properly.

From The News Tribune: A state appeals court panel has ruled that now-retired Pierce County Judge Frederick Fleming was wrong to award $650,000 in damages and fees to an abuse victim who sued the Department of Social and Health Services to get investigative records.
In a decision released Tuesday, the Division II panel ruled some of the records sought by Amber Wright were not subject to the state's Public Records Act and that others were not improperly withheld by DSHS because Wright's request for them was too vague.
[. . .]
The recording and transcript, as juvenile records governed by separate statute, are not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act, they ruled. They also decided Wright never specifically asked for the protocols, so DSHS was not obligated to turn them over.

A consultant overseeing Porter County’s corridor plan said initial feedback
from citizens and community leaders shows support for preserving the rural
character and natural features along the county’s major roadways.
In an update to the Porter County Plan Commission on Wednesday, Peter Fritz
of RATIO Architects said the corridor planning process so far has shown that
the public wants to see new developments emanate out from cities and towns,
instead of in scattered locations.
Such support for contiguous growth is positive, Fritz said, since it is
already a major component of the county’s land use plan, which calls for
higher density development closer to the municipalities instead of the rural
Fritz also said that the planning process has shown an interest for green
technologies, such as for systems that manage stormwater in an
environmentally sound way. That interest is unusual, he said, since many
other communities haven’t even addressed the issue.
The corridor plan, which will address land use, development standards and
transportation issues along most of the main roads in the unincorporated
areas, has so far involved one public workshop and meetings with members of a
steering committee and key “stakeholder” groups.
Plan Commission member Tim Cole expressed concern about the lack of
involvement from Chesterton in the process.
“Chesterton is a large, growing area,” Cole said, noting that several of the
roads in the corridor plan, such as Ind. 49, touch on the town. Future land
use could be negatively impacted if Chesterton is not part of the planning
process now, he said.
Cole cited the Coffee Creek Center as an example. The project is turning out
to be a typical retail development and “not what it started out to be,” Cole
said, referring to the initial plans for an environmentally innovative,
Plan Commission member and County Surveyor Kevin Brietzke said the county
invited all municipalities to participate, but that only the cities of
Portage and Valparaiso have been represented. He noted, though, that the
cities have paid planning staff.
As part of the planning process, RATIO is conducting a market study that will
analyze how much people spend in and out of county.
Although the study is not yet completed, Fritz said the preliminary results
show that a significant number of Porter County residents are leaving the
county to shop, which suggests an unmet demand for more retail in this
Plan Commission member Herb Read questioned if that finding will lead to a
recommendation for more strip malls along the county’s corridors. Fritz said
The statistics about retail “leakage” might show that Porter County residents
are going elsewhere to spend their money, he said, but “it doesn’t mean you
have to respond to it” by allowing more retail.
Read said the public has indicated opposition to retail clogging the main
roads, and Fritz agreed that this concern has also been raised in the current
Cole said strip malls are as “ugly as sin” and create congestion, but are
He suggested that if there is a demand for more retail, that it be located
off the main corridors in order to avoid congestion on the roads.
Plan commission member Robert Detert told Fritz that the commission will be
more likely to be against new business growth along the main corridors than
in support, and that RATIO should keep this in mind as the study proceeds.
“We don’t want to be like some communities,” he said.
Fritz noted that the public workshop, which was held in May in Washington
Township, attracted about 25 people, many of whom were from Liberty Township
who raised concerns about growth and traffic concerns along U.S. 6, Ind. 49
and Meridian Road.
“We had very good input,” he said.
The corridor plan is expected to be completed within the year.
Another public workshop is planned for mid to late September. In addition,
the consultants will have a steering committee meeting next week and again in
The members of the steering committee include county and municipal officials
and representatives from the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning
Commission and the Indiana Department of Transportation.

Reggie White Tributes Incomplete Reggie White's death on Sunday prompted a case of one-sided history on the CBS and Fox pregame shows, which remembered him as a great football player but an even greater man, and a man loved by everyone.
White might have deserved much of the praise, but it was the type of unabashed admiration that prompts concern that the stars and producers of the programs forgot or, worse, ignored how White denounced homosexuality and traded in ethnic stereotypes in a speech to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1998.
ABC's "Monday Night Football," with an extra day to contemplate his death at age 43, produced a three-minute halftime segment that chronicled his life, called him a "special man," focused on his strength, dominance and "love of mankind" and how his "unabashed relationship with God" led him to be called the Minister of Defense.
No mention of the infamous speech.
"We decided in the short amount of time to keep it to his football career," said Mark Mandel, a spokesman for ABC Sports.
All three networks accentuated the positive and offered the idealized, saintly view of a man in a violent sport reaching out to those he sacked as well as to the downtrodden. That may be the way football folk want to remember White -- and the safe path taken by CBS, Fox and ABC -- but it failed to acknowledge the considerable controversy he caused when he labeled homosexuality a sin. "It's not a race" that can be compared with being black, he added.Continue reading the main story
And under the guise of discussing how races can work together, White described whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Indians in that speech in Madison, Wis., in stereotypes that clergy members, of all people, should avoid uttering.
But that was deleted from the memory banks of ABC, CBS and Fox, the better to tell heartwarming tales that they believe fans love to hear.
Lou D'Ermilio, a spokesman for Fox Sports, said, "The decision was made to celebrate his on-field achievements, focusing on the positives of his life."
LeslieAnn Wade, a spokeswoman for CBS Sports, said, "We chose to focus on his overall outstanding impact as a person and his outstanding career as a player."
It was surprising that CBS made a decision to omit what White had said to Wisconsin legislators. He had, around that time, auditioned to be a football analyst for CBS, although no deal was made. White and his wife, Sara, said the speech had kept the network from hiring him.
In an interview on ABC's "20/20," Sara White said that CBS was "too scared of the Sodomite community" to hire her husband. CBS denied that it had been influenced by outside pressures.
Only ESPN's "Sunday N.F.L. Countdown" offered a little balance, in a 13-minute tribute to White. In Jeremy Schaap's taped feature, he referred to White's making "several disparaging remarks about minorities."
Later on, the reporter Andrea Kremer said in a panel discussion that White had told her recently that making those remarks "was one of the biggest regrets he had." She also said that White had turned away from being a Christian minister and was recently studying Hebrew to understand the Scriptures better and "learn what religion is all about."
White had apologized for the awkwardness of the ethnic remarks but not for those about homosexuality. A few months after the speech, he appeared in his Packers uniform in newspaper advertisements by several Christian groups promoting his opposition to homosexuality.
The unauthorized use of the Green Bay uniform prompted the Packers' president to apologize to the Human Rights Campaign, a gay advocacy group.
The ads featured the headline "In defense of free speech," and quoted White as saying, "I've been called homophobic. I've been called stupid," adding that "so-called gay activists" had insulted him with an ethnic slur.
In 1999, White wrote an article for The Wall Street Journal detailing his opposition to letting female journalists interview male athletes in their locker rooms (and allowing male journalists to interview female athletes in their locker rooms). He said camerawomen "can film guys showering or walking to their lockers naked."
He added, "They can keep the film for themselves, make copies, give it to friends -- and who knows what else?"
Ten days after the article appeared, the Knicks' Charlie Ward distributed copies of it around the team's locker room. Ward, the leader of the team's Bible study group at the time, said he feared that female sportswriters would ogle him. A team spokesman that day reaffirmed the Knicks' open-door policy for all news media members.
White left a complex legacy. Alan J. Borsuk of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote an article yesterday that detailed how one of White's community projects, Urban Hope, had helped people in the Green Bay area start new businesses but had been criticized for "shifting more to helping middle-class people" rather than poor ones. Other ventures, the article said, never came to fruition.
White's good deeds and discordant rhetoric were part of a life abundantly and unrepentantly lived. Both were self-generated and unforced, and must coexist in assessing what he left behind. There should have been no reason to ignore what some might feel is unsettling in order to focus only on the harmonious.Continue reading the main story

SSC Tuatara interior renderings
The Tuatara is also one of the star attractions at this week’s 2011 Dubai Motor Show, where fans and potential buyers alike were given the chance to take look at its interior design for the first time. SSC has been kind enough to release its own interior shots as well, revealing a hypermodern design that matches the stunning lines of the Tuatara’s exterior.
According to SSC, the main gauge cluster area is a glass screen lit up by rear projectors and acts like a heads-up display. On the driver's side, two smaller HUD displays are located on each side of the steering column; their design is inspired by the Tuatara's rear winglets. On the right, the HUD displays the current gear of the car, and is flanked by a shift indicator light tree that provides the driver with valuable shift timing information.
One of the coolest features is the seven-speed H-pattern manual gear shift, which mimics the design found in classic exotics and ensures that the Tuatara will be one of the rare few modern supercars to offer a manual option. Of course, if you prefer an automated unit, there will also be a steering column mounted seven-speed paddle shifter.
And in case you were wondering, all those holes on the top of the central console area are inspired by the hole patterns on the Tuatara's exterior body panels, and function as vents that circulate the cabin air. Note, the Tuatara is still in the concept phase, so some of the finer details may be altered by the time production ramps up.

The body is fully carbon fiber, and is wrapped around a frame made from a mix of carbon fiber and aluminum. Despite a number of luxury amenities including air conditioning, a 10-speaker premium sound system and 7.5-inch LCD infotainment setup, the final curb weight should be no more than 2,750 pounds.
Note, the Tuatara is still in the concept phase, so some of the finer details may be altered by the time production ramps up.

RYOSUKE KOBAYASHI is the only Japanese undergraduate in his year at Harvard University. When he applied, he knew no one who could advise him on how to get in. So this week, in a rickety wooden inn in Tokyo, sitting cross-legged on tatami mats with Apple Macs on their laps, he and fellow Harvard students conducted seminars for Japanese high-school students on subjects ranging from anime to Thomas Hobbes. He was not encouraging students to go to America, he insists, just offering them an alternative to uchimuki, or the culture of looking inward, which pervades Japan.
For example, in 1997 there were roughly equal numbers of Japanese, Korean and Chinese students at Harvard, including postgraduates. Now there are five times as many Chinese as Japanese, and three times as many Koreans. The story is similar at other foreign universities. Meanwhile, Japanese firms have lost ground to their Chinese and South Korean rivals. Some say this is no coincidence. Yasuyuki Nambu, the boss of Pasona, a Tokyo-based recruitment consultancy, says Japanese universities churn out students for old-fashioned businesses, rather than fast-growing global ones such as IT and retail. Japan Inc needs more creative thinkers and linguists. So several firms are courting young Japanese who have been abroad.
Jobs fairs for those who have studied abroad are suddenly popular. Mynavi, the sponsor of one, says the number of participating firms soared by almost 50% since last year, to 188. Keidanren, Japan's big-business lobby, has promised to hold a special jobs exchange for students returning from abroad next summer, tacitly admitting that Japan's traditional hiring schedule hobbles them: people are recruited in Japan to start work in April, which is during the academic year in America and Europe. The University of Tokyo, Japan's best, is mulling starting in September instead, to fit in with the rest of the world.
In other countries there has long been a market for footloose talent. But in Japan students usually have just one shot at securing a steady first-time job: in their third year at university. If they are abroad, they miss it, and may have to study an extra year in Japan to earn their chance. That has discouraged people from studying abroad. And corporate culture in Japan has tended to favour those who follow the rules: training is done “on-the-job”, which implies little respect for what was learned at college.
Pasona reckons the change has accelerated since March, when Japan was hit by an earthquake that disrupted the nation's supply chains and power plants. The population is ageing and shrinking; to avoid shrinking with it, Japanese firms must expand overseas. Recent months have seen a surge of foreign mergers and acquisitions.
But while hiring trends may have started to reflect this shift, corporate culture has not. Hierarchy and pay remain rigid in many Japanese firms–you do what you are told and get what you are given. Well-travelled recruits may not like this. And if they don't, they can go elsewhere.

Hunts Point fertilizer plant to close
The New York Organic Fertilizer Company in Hunts Point will be shut down.
Environmentalists and residents say they are overjoyed that the plant will finally be closed. For years the factory has been taking almost half the city's waste and processing it into fertilizer pellets.
Residents say the plant has been a major health concern. They believe it may be to blame for several asthma cases in the area.

Port of call & excursions
OsakaEmbarkation 10/10/2019 from 19H00 to 20H00 . Departure 10/10/2019 at 21H00 .
Like its big sister Tokyo, Osaka is the product of ancestral traditions and amazing technological innovations. And despite its size, its location on the Pacific Ocean give it a sense of serenity.ﾠ The main historic landmark is the 16th-century Osaka Castle, which stands proud in the midst of majestic skyscrapers. The lively streets of Dotomburi and the bizarre Shinsekai district attract thousands of locals and visitors. A multitude of restaurants offer menus full of regional specialities: takoyaki, made with octopus, and other succulent dishes such as kushikatsu kebabs.
11 October 2019 – TamanoArrival 11/10/2019 early morning. Departure 11/10/2019 evening.
Located on the island of Honshu, hugging the banks of the Sento Inland Sea, Tamano is a popular destination thanks to its sun-drenched climate. Upon arrival, marvel at the way in which the city has been built along the coast at the foot of a deep, dark forest. In the area surrounding Tamano, stroll down the streets of Kurashiki, known as the 'white-walled city' in a nod to the pretty façades of the houses that line the streets of this ancient Edo-period trading town. Another major regional attraction is the Seto Ohashi bridge. Its 12.5 kilometres make it the world's longest double-decker bridge.
12 October 2019 – HiroshimaArrival 12/10/2019 early morning. Departure 12/10/2019 early evening.
Visiting Hiroshima is a moving experience. The town spreads along Honshu Island, along the inside coasts of Seto. While firmly focused on the future, Hiroshima doesn't forget its past, and a visit to the Peace Memorial Park and Genbaku Dome is a must. You'll enjoy the city's modern, cosmopolitan atmosphere and effervescent nightlife just as much as the peaceful stillness of its natural parkland areas such as splendid Shukkei-en, the town's historic garden.
13 October 2019 – UwajimaArrival 13/10/2019 early morning. Departure 13/10/2019 midday.
Located on the west coast of Shikoku island, Uwajima will delight lovers of history and traditional customs. The magnificent Uwajima Castle was built in the 17th-century by the powerful Date clan and has a beautiful ornamental garden and bridge. The much-visited Taga Shrine is dedicated to fertility and is full of phalluses. Another interesting tradition is togyu, a Japanese variant of bull-fighting where two bulls are pitted against each other without a toreador. As for eating, you must taste jakoten, a local delicacy based on fried fish.
14 October 2019 – KagoshimaArrival 14/10/2019 early morning. Departure 14/10/2019 late afternoon.
The seaside city of Kagoshima, at the south of Kyushu Island, ﾠis best known for Sakurajima, an active volcano that faces Kinko Bay. A visit to this busy metropolis will remind you just how much the volcano is part of the inhabitantsﾒ everyday life: in the wake of the almost daily eruptions, a delicate layer of ash settles on everything. The top of a buried torii (traditional Japanese gate) measuring three metres that was 'swallowed up' by a giant lava flow in 1914 can still be seen. The power of nature will send a shiver down your spine.
15 October 2019 – NagasakiArrival 15/10/2019 early morning. Departure 15/10/2019 late afternoon.
Located on the north-west coast of Kyushu, Nagasaki will impress you by its rich heritage. Despite the destruction in 1945, you can visit several ancient sites, including the beautiful 19th-century Catholic Church of Oura and its garden, the sanctuary of Suwa Shrine as well as several Buddhist temples. A visit to the Atomic Bomb Museum gives you insight into the extent of the damage caused by the nuclear attack. Close by, a walk in the Memorial Peace Park leads you to a collection of objets dﾒart offered as a gift from Japan to the world.
16 October 2019 – BusanArrival 16/10/2019 early morning. Departure 16/10/2019 early afternoon.
With around four million inhabitants, Busan is the second largest metropolis on South Korea, after Seoul. This dynamic harbour city, located in the south-east, surrounded by the warm waters of the Sea of Japan, benefits from a mild, pleasant climate. You’ll find delightful simply to stroll around the lively streets and explore the city’s outstanding cultural heritage of art galleries, museums, and Buddhist sites, such as the Haedong Yonggungsa temple, which elegantly sits on the waterfront. Rich too in magnificent beaches and superlative natural landscapes, Busan’s peaceful atmosphere will win you over, as will its inhabitants, whom you’ll have the pleasure of meeting.
17 October 2019 – SakaiminatoArrival 17/10/2019 early morning. Departure 17/10/2019 early evening.
Located on the south-west coast of Honshu Island, the busy fishing port of Sakaiminato celebrates the comic writer and artist Shigeru Mizuki, who was born here. As well as a museum a dedicated tourist route leads through streets and squares that feature 134 bronze statues representing his beloved characters. This isn't the only thing Sakaiminato has to offer; try some local seafood specialities and enjoy the stunning views of Mt Daisen and the Yumigahama peninsula.
MaizuruDisembarkation 18/10/2019 at 07H00 .
Located on the western coast of Honshu island, in the province of Kyoto, the charming town of Maizuru boasts one of Japan’s most exquisite closed bays. A climb to the observatory will allow you to appreciate the splendour of this inlet scattered with tiny wild islands. You can also admire the treasures of traditional architecture by visiting the temple of Enryu-ji or the Tanabe-jo castle. The town also bears traces of a rich military past, which you can see in the old arsenals of the navy, red brick buildings that today house a museum.

In Encrypting Sensitive Data with Perl I wrote about how to use public key encryption to automatically and securely encrypt information with Perl. This allows you encryption things like credit card numbers, bank routing information, or that winning PowerBall number in a unattended fashion. Typically, you would use this in a situation where a user needs to enter sensitive information into a form which need to be stored in a secure manner. We can do this with Ruby (on Rails) as well, and it’s even easier.
First we need to generate a key pair. This creates two keys, a public key which will only be used to encrypt data, and a private key, which will only be used to decrypt data. The private key is protected by a password know only to us. When it comes to choosing strong passwords, I suggest using Diceware. 2048 is the key size in bits. Bigger is better, but also slower; 2048 is considered a good trade off between speed and encryption strength. We are also limited by this to encrypting as most 2048 bits, more on this below.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Then we extract the public key:
1 2 3
Once we have the keys, we can encrypt data using the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Simply, public_key_file is path to the file containing the public key, and string is the string to encrypt. We open the public key and then use public_encrypt to encrypt it. Because the encrypted string is binary I have converted to text using Base64. If your are storing the encrypted string in a database that can hold binary data, you could change:
Now that we have encrypted data, we’ll want to be able to get it back.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
Here private_key_file is path to the file containing the private key, password and encrypted_string is the string to decrypt. In a real application you would not want to hard-code the password, rather you should prompt for it in some way.
Again we are using Base64 to make the encrypted string human readable. If this is not necessary, change:
As noted above, you can not use this method to encrypt anything larger than the key size minus 11 bytes of overhead (padding). In this case we have a 2048 bit key which gives 256 - 11 = 245 bytes. The temptation is to increase the key size to accommodate more data, but this quickly become to slow to be useful. The correct way to accomplish this is to use public key encryption to encrypt random password, which, in turn is used to encrypt the data using symmetric-key encryption. I’ll cover this next time.

Statement coats are one of my fashion fail-safes and when I discovered this gem on Depop, I was utterly in awe of its magnificence. It was everything I had ever wanted in a coat (but was too afraid to ask for.)
The combination of painted wild animals, colours, jungle greenery and gold stitching was too much for my humble senses. The fact that the design was on a warm, padded, dare I say practical? zip up jacket knocked all of my mental settings out of whack.
I had never seen such perfection in a coat and I knew it had to be mine.
Imagine my joy when I discovered it was only £20 (including postage!!!) I hit 'buy now' and within days, this marvellous creation had arrived at my home.
It is the most stunning item I've ever owned, out of any category, not just clothing. I curiously checked the label to see that it was from rose elliott design, London. I immediately Googled it and was genuinely astonished to find no matching searches whatsoever! Surely such a distinctive piece would have left it's footprint on the internet somewhere? I had a jolly good look around the web but can only assume it is a vintage or hand-made piece.
I debuted this little love last Saturday, on a beautiful spring day at Dunham Massey in Cheshire. I wore it loud and proud and with a very large grin on my face.
The key to wearing any statement piece is to do it with confidence. There's no way you can fanny about in a coat like this, you have to work it, mean business and showcase those creatures for all you're worth.
Funnily enough, I didn't get a single look or stare. Quite surprised by this as Dunham Massey was rammed and there were lots of kids about, usually my most critical audience. Not that I was after a reaction, but it just proves that people aren't as bothered as you think about what you might be wearing.
Seems you can even stand on a tree trunk posing and people on a bench nearby will be distinctly not arsed.
I teamed my statement jungle creation with plain black trousers, vintage black bag and a neutral top so the coat could do all the talking.
I'd love to know what you think of my unusual purchase and if you've ever worn anything similar. If anyone has any info on rose elliott design, please let me know as I'd love to see if there are any other exquisite creations on offer!
Shoutout to the Depop seller ohhhs too for helping me to realise my coat goals..

The State Department released a statement on Tuesday that designates the al-Nusrah Front as an alias for al-Qaeda in Iraq.
The United States "has amended the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Executive Order (E.O.) 13224 designations of al-Qa’ida in Iraq (AQI)" to include the al-Nusrah Front, the statement said.
The consequences of adding al-Nusrah Front as a new alias for AQI include a prohibition against knowingly providing, or attempting or conspiring to provide, material support or resources to, or engaging in transactions with, al-Nusrah Front, and the freezing of all property and interests in property of the organization that are in the United States, or come within the United States or the control of U.S. persons.
The State Department pointed to deadly attacks, including suicide bombings, in Syria that have killed civilians as a main reason for placing al-Nusrah on the FTO list. These attacks show that al-Nusrah’s efforts in Syria are "an attempt by AQI to hijack the struggles of the Syrian people for its own malign purposes."
This move is part of a continued effort by the State Department to distance American non-lethal aid from any radical groups operating within Syria. The State Department is working toward a diplomatic peace agreement despite Syrian rebels accepting al-Nusrah as an ally bringing fighting experience from Iraq and elsewhere, according to CNN.

The Santa Fe Art Institute, in coordination with 350.org, spearheaded the New Mexico FLASH FLOOD for a Living River project on Saturday, one of more than a dozen global art events photographed from space, and demanding meaningful climate solutions.
Photo by Don Usner
Girl Scouts, church groups, businesspeople & students were among over 1,500 local citizens who stood in the dry Santa Fe riverbed. The Santa Fe river has been designated one of America’s most endangered rivers.The snowmelt feeding the Santa Fe River provides 40% of the water for City of Santa Fe, and as temperatures rise and snow pack dwindles, New Mexico and the entire Western United States face threats of serious ongoing drought, endangering ecosystems, economies, physical and mental health.
“The earth's arid areas are growing steadily dryer; without concerted international action their future is in doubt,” stated Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org. “Santa Fe’s FLASH FLOOD event is one of the first great examples of vulnerable people demanding to be heard — acting with creativity and beauty, but also with great hope.”
To illustrate their vision for a living river and a sustainable ecosystem, New Mexicans of all ages and faiths carried and flipped blue-painted recycled cardboard and other blue materials to compose a visual "flash flood" in the dry riverbed, and recreated where the Santa Fe River should be flowing.
Santa Fe Mayor David Coss commented, “The Santa Fe River sustains the people, and the people need to sustain the Santa Fe River. This project is a true demonstration of the connection between our community and our river.”
Diane Karp, Director of the Santa Fe Art Institute (SFAI), says today’s event also showcases the potential bridge between communities of art and politics. “The purpose of our action is not to fix the river because art will not do that,” Karp says, adding, “but art does have the power to reach the hearts and minds of the people who come into contact with it and inspire them into political action.”

The art action and aerial design was visible and documented from outer space via satellite, from helicopter and 150 ft. tall crane by award-winning cinematographer Doug Crawford, and from the ground by still cameras, video cameras, and thousands of individual cell phones. The FLASH FLOOD satellite images will be projected worldwide alongside the 17 other global aerial designs as part of the Cancun Climate Change Summit, November 29 – December 10, 2010.
SFAI coordinated thousands of people to form the art piece within a window of a few seconds while the satellite flew overhead at 17,000 miles per hour taking pictures from 400 miles above the planet’s surface.
“If we could work from space to create a picture of sustainability and a vision of a vibrant desert, our politicians should be able to craft meaningful climate legislation,” says Karp. “Our many languages and cultures, histories and perspectives merge in this community art project, focusing on the Santa Fe River and its importance for us all. Art can make the difference that makes the difference.”

By default, SmarterMail allows 50,000 emails in the spool at one time. However, in very high volume email environments, email servers may need to have more than 50,000 emails in the spool. For example, if emails are throttled or delayed due to the remote servers not accepting emails into the spool, this can cause slow delivery for new messages being created since the new emails cannot be loaded until existing emails are sent. To resolve this problem, administrators may adjust the default limitation for the max number of loaded spool messages.
Follow these steps to increase the default limitation for the max number of loaded spool messages:
- In the Administrative Tools > Services panel, stop the SmarterMail service.
- Navigate to the settings.json file. The default install path is C:\Program Files (x86)\SmarterTools\SmarterMail\Service\Settings\.
- Make a backup copy of the settings.json file.
- Edit the settings.json file, and locate the following line:
- Change the value of the max_loaded_spool_messages as needed. NOTE: As you increase the max number of messages allowed into the spool, your system will also increase the amount of system memory being used.
- Save the settings.json file.
- Start the SmarterMail service.

Aggression and looting have become survival mechanisms for Venezuelans who simply do not have enough food to eat. Economic instability and political unrest have resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis in the country, and there is little or no indication that a solution is near. According to the New York Times, in June 2016 alone there were over 50 instances of riots and looting, including five deaths. The extreme scarcity is leading to the destruction of many local businesses and communities in Venezuela. In a Times Insider interview, it was noted that various companies have halted the production of goods, and several hospitals were forced to perform surgeries without water because of the severe shortages.
With regard to politics, Venezuela is a federal republic in which individual states hold power, but exist and comply under a national government. Elected officials represent the people, as the country is divided into districts, and members are elected based on approximate district populations. Furthermore, power is divided in various ways such as electoral power, citizen power, judicial power, legislative power, and executive power. In Venezuela’s case, a great deal of power lies in the President who appoints the Vice-President and Supreme Court judges, and can alter the composition of the Council of Ministers. Political instability is a pertinent issue in Venezuela. CNN Money reports that the country’s opposition party currently has the majority of seats in Congress (65%), but lacks power nonetheless. This type of majority typically allows for the opposition to pass legislation against the will of the current government in power, however, President Nicolas Maduro recently appointed Supreme Court justices who can overrule those decisions.
In terms of resources and economics, Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, and 95% of its foreign exchange earnings come from oil prices. As a result of declining oil prices, and outstanding international debt, the country’s government and economy are in an extremely unstable condition. The Washington Post reports that Venezuela has the highest inflation rate in the world and an estimated poverty rate of 76%. This dangerous combination of an impoverished population and overpriced goods has pushed Venezuela into the global spotlight, as the government is being called upon to make a change.
Although the government declared a constitutional state of emergency in May 2016, there has been limited acceptance of foreign humanitarian aid. Citizen groups and activists are mobilizing to gather food and medical donations. Nevertheless, transporting goods to communities in need has proved to be difficult. This is a significant challenge for international community members and states who would typically intervene and provide vital humanitarian aid. According to the Jamaica Observer, the international response to Venezuela’s crisis is underwhelming, as international governments are engaging in dialogue regarding the shortages, but there is skepticism around what can actually be done. At the end of July 2016, the Jamaican government announced that it would provide USD $4 million through the PetroCaribe Development Fund and their Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology. Additionally, Colombian efforts have been encouraging, as a previously closed border was re-opened for Venezuelans to cross and purchase goods in Colombia, for a limited amount of time. The Colombian government is now urging Venezuela to keep that border open in order for people to continue buying essential goods.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela and Duke University professor Patrick Duddy weighed in on the issue and provided several recommendations from a U.S. standpoint. For example, he notes that it should be clarified that the focus is on the current human rights concerns, as opposed to intervening in Venezuelan political affairs. Furthermore, Duddy explored the importance of maintaining relations with Venezuela, and neighbouring countries.
Overall, given the extreme level of scarcity in the region, it is evident that the attention needs to be on the people of Venezuela, and ensuring that their basic needs are met. Whether it is through permanently opening the Colombian border to allow Venezuelans to purchase goods, or advocating for the free flow of relief items between international aid agencies and Venezuelan communities, something must be done immediately. As we wait for Venezuela’s leaders to respond, we can reflect on the fact that it is 2016, and we live in a world where children are starving, whilst those who are desperately ill, lack adequate access to medication. Let that sink in for a moment, if this was your reality, what would you do?

Our Piece of the Week starts with the most unusual feature found in an illustration; sound. What I imagine to be a “Clank Clank RROoOaaarRRr” that’s ringing at triple digit decibels, Redbubble artist Hector Mansilla who is based in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico has created a work inspired by the power of making music.
This epic tribute to music making madness titled “Power Trio” is floating on a cloud powered by a keyboard. Or playing a keyboard. Or both. What’s clear is this: it’s nearly impossible to look at “Power Trio” without experiencing some form of Synesthesia (loosely described as a condition in which stimulation of one sense creates an automatic involuntary experience in a second sense).
There’s really two stand-out elements in this piece. The first is its detail, which is everywhere and delightful. As I scan the artwork, I’m surprised and excited by the fish tank on the top and the playful orange and white banner (or scarf) wrapped loosely around the whole living, breathing contraption. It was Charles Eames who said, “Details are not the details. They make the design.” The moon is melting a little bit. There are details everywhere.
The second is the skill Mansilla has shown through evoking sounds inside our heads to create character and style with other senses. This is incredibly hard to do in design. It’s witty and playful and exudes personality. It’s the hard bit of art, the “how,” the transference of idea into form that’s been done quite well indeed here.
When staring at “Power Trio,” it’s hard not to image the sounds it creates — a cavernous “Roarrr” and the delicate shrill of a Soprano belting out “DO RE ME LA SOL…” Notice the arms or curves that “Power Trio” is sprouting are spinning records and shredding on a guitar, creating a freaky factory of power ballad production out there, in the orange, forevermore.
If I haven’t convinced you yet that this beautiful floating dysfunctional dystopia is not a serious case of very good design, it’s worth noting the palette of subtle and underplayed of oranges, purples, and minty greens. But I don’t need to convince you, just look at “Power Trio.” And listen to it.
Be sure to visit Mansilla’s profile for more prints, garments, and cases.
