Bringing Business, Innovation and Information Security to support an agile organization moving at the forefront, together with the connected consumer. Is this an appropriate description of what a CISO´s role is in the age of Digital Disruption? Or should it still be a more protective role, responding to a cyberthreat landscape with increasing complexity? In this panel, CISOs from different industries, tightly regulated ones like finance, but as well from less regulated areas like media, automotive and utilities, will discuss on today´s and the future role of the CISO.
What are the challenges of a CISO today?
Is there anymore a difference between a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and a CISO?
What kind of experience and skills are required from a CISO today and in the future?
How can Information Security become a business enabler?

ELATED mum Candice Gannon wept tears of joy as she hugged her tug-of-love daughter for the first time in nearly eight months yesterday.
The pair enjoyed an emotional reunion in an Algarve children's home before checking in to a nearby hotel to make the most of their first day back together.
Last night, Candice relived the emotional rollercoaster sparked by her daughter's abduction last July by Portuguese dad Filipe Silva as she said: "Being reunited with Ellie after such a long time feels as good as the day I gave birth to her. It's been a phenomenal day and one that will stay with me forever.
"I'm obviously very upset because I can tell Ellie is psychologically upset and has suffered parental alienation.
"But my overwhelming feeling is one of happiness.
"I just want to help Ellie back to being the girl she was, one step at a time, and put this behind us so I can try and get our life back on track."
Mum-of-two Candice flew from her home in Ballsbridge on Monday with Dublin entrepreneur husband Philip Gannon (44) and their daughter Olivia (2), after learning their seven months of torment had ended with Ellie being handed over to police.
Her daughter vanished during a two-week holiday with her wealthy businessman dad last July.
Candice's 34-year-old ex, arrested last Friday on suspicion of Ellie's kidnap after going on the run, ignored a court order to return her to her mum.
Last night it emerged the youngster had been attending a school in Porto, a three-hour drive north of the Portuguese capital Lisbon.
But the full details of Ellie's seven missing months remained shrouded in mystery.
Mr Silva has been released on bail but is still under official investigation on suspicion of kidnap.
British-born Candice, who has dual nationality because of her Irish father George Kelly and has spent the past year between homes in Madeira and Ireland, said: "I know she's been to school because her paternal grandmother gave the police a bag with schoolbooks inside when she handed her over.
"I have no idea where she was staying.
"The only contact I've had with Ellie has been a single phone call with her on August 5 last year.
"She hasn't really opened up yet about what's happened in these past seven months and we've been advised not to push too hard and let her speak in her own time which is what we intend doing."
Candice's lawyer Spencer Dohner has already announced he plans seeking a court order preventing Ellie's dad from seeing her unsupervised. Her mum insisted last night: "I don't want him to see her at all at the moment, full stop."
She added: "We want to get back to Ireland at some point because Ellie has family and friends there who want to see her and her birthday and Christmas presents are there waiting for her to unwrap. But . . . we have to stay in Portugal because of the custody deal with Filipe.
"Even though he's ridden roughshod over it, we're law-abiding people.
"I just hope now the Portuguese courts give us the protection Ellie needs and let us get on with the rest of our lives together.
"I want to make sure she's not scarred by this ordeal she's been through."

It was not a day for taking pictures of birds. It has been pouring all day. Even at midday, it was dark outside.
I have taken so many pictures over the past month, there were more than enough pictures to make a post for today. On this dark and dreary day, it seemed a good time for bright birds. And it was almost warm enough for flowers, though the meteorologists assure us that cold weather is fast approaching.
This warm day is just that. A day of warm rain … on the winter solstice.
I think it’s that we live IN the woods. A lot of birds still don’t come here. The Blue Jays hang around, but won’t come to the feeder and a few others look, but won’t come. I wonder if they’ll visit when the snow arrives.
Fill it up — and they will come.
There is a sharpness to the images. Clear colors.
It’s funny but your Winter Solstice was at 5.30 pm on the 21st… which makes it 6.30 am on the 22nd here!
I never really understood the day before, a day behind thing. I have trouble doping out what time it is in California, much less Australia. I DO know that when it’s late night here, it’s early morning in England and Europe. When I lived in Israel people called at all hours of the day and night. They had NO idea what time it was and even though I had memorized it (7 hours earlier in New York), I would forget when awakened at 4 in the morning, at which point I could only speak Hebrew, for some reason.
With the Solstice though, i knew it could change dates (21/22 December – 22/23 for the equinoxes) but i never thought of it being a different day for the SAME solstice at different points on the globe before now?
It occurs at only one exact point in time during any year so some country on the West of the International Date Line will almost always have their shortest day on a different day to the other side of the world.
And the REST of the time, I could only speak English. Apparently, my unconscious spoke Hebrew, but not my regular mouth. There was some kind of mental disconnect.
When we sleep it gives our brain a break from the mass of stimulus information being constantly received while awake and gives it time to assimilate new important information into our neuron circuitry, possibly by replaying the most ‘important’/stressing events from the previous 24 hours over and over to familiarise ourselves with them. In your case it was probably from a need to understand the ‘foreign’ language you were being bombarded with.
As you were waking the brain had perhaps become ‘soaked’ in hebrew phrases/connections which gradually were replaced with your more familiar conscious english as the day progressed.
How long did it take before you felt comfortable speaking hebrew after you arrived??
Bob, whatever, time for Soltice libation celebration.
Wonderful birding shots . . .and a lovely way to mark the Winter Solstice.
I got some new ones this morning. I couldn’t figure out why my camera wouldn’t focus. First, AF was off. Oops. Also, the battery was on it’s last limping legs. By the time I got that worked out, the Cardinal, for whom I’d been waiting got bored and left. But I got the usual suspects.
The two Warblers are a lovely colour.
There are a LOT of them and they come in bright yellow, green, something that’s halfway between yellow and green, tan with hints of green … and aside from bars on wings and tail, THEY ALL LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. And they change color by season AND when they are breeding. So they are just warblers. All warblers. I think those MAY have been yellow warblers because they are the brightest, but it may be also been the way the light caught them.
Warblers. MANY warblers. The come in flocks!

Dental emergencies arrive without any prior notice. But, if it’s not a case of emergency, you can take out some time to know about the local dental clinics before you visit the dentist out there for any cosmetic treatment or oral prevention care services. Look for the best dental clinic where they have the best College Station dentist along with trained and friendly assistants.
Everyone has a weakness for a particular specialization particularly when visiting a dentist. If you’re interested to improving your smile, you can visit a dental surgeon with the years of experience in cosmetic dentistry. After checking your dental structure and jaw formation- they can suggest you surgeries or treatments by attaching dentures or veneers to improve the smile. So, look for that expertise in the dental clinic before rushing for an appointment.
The dental clinic should have been maintaining a great work culture so far. You being the patient or the guardian of your child should be worried about the behavior of the staff if visiting there with an excruciating pain or in an emergency. Your prior research on the dental clinic might help you in visiting there in an emergency without giving a second thought. So, go through the profiles of their management and treatment procedures from the websites or from the pamphlets the dental clinic share as a part of their campaign.
The websites of the concerned dental clinic may provide you with the sufficient amount of data regarding the dentist and his or her team. If it’s a polyclinic- you’ll be able to find more dentists under one roof with different specializations. From the about us section, you can get the complete information of the resume of the dentists owning or associated with the clinic.
On visiting the chosen dental clinic in person, you can see everything with your own eyes. Talk to the staff or the dentists there to know about their behavior and proficiency. Check the bathrooms and the office where they operate or treat the patients to see the hygiene they maintain.
Finally, explore the expanded services they offer apart from the mentioned ones before you visit the dental clinic.

Sales of Ultra HD TV sets continue to rise, surpassing the number of HD TV sales in 2018. As more Ultra HD-ready TVs are purchased, consumers are becoming increasingly eager to watch video content that demonstrates the capabilities of their new screens. Yet, as the technology used to capture film and play it back on-screen improves, many consumers are lost as to what these new technologies actually mean for their viewing experience. Here, we look at four elements of Ultra HD, and how they contribute to the best viewing experience available today.
With four times the pixels, Ultra HD TVs give you four times the detail. Just imagine how that level of detail will bring to life your favourite live sports, nature shows, and other video content. One Ultra HD screen has enough pixels to fill four 1080-pixel HD screens, providing the most lifelike viewing experience available today. The 3840 by 2160 pixel resolution is only slightly smaller than the 4096 by 2160 resolution on cinema screens, for a total of nearly 8.3 million pixels.
What happens when you cram that many pixels onto one screen? You get a higher pixel density, leading to a picture that’s clearer, sharper, and that lets you see more texture. This means you’ll see particles of chalk dust rather than a puff of smoke when an Olympic weightlifter presses a record-breaking weight over her head. Individual blades of grass on the pitch of the World Cup finals. And every detail of the action in your latest binge-worthy show.
Due to limitations in both display technology and source material, all TVs are limited in the range of colours they produce. HDTV displays about 16.7 million colours using 8-bit colour. That sounds like a lot, yet it is a relatively small slice of the visual spectrum. With the move to 10-bit colour and the BT.2020 standard created by the International Telecommunication Union, Ultra HD offers a wider colour gamut that increases the number of shades of each primary colour from 256 to 1024—for a total of 1 billion displayable colours. This doesn’t represent all colours in the visible spectrum, yet it’s a much larger proportion of it.
This improvement in colour is subtle to the viewer, yet you can easily see the difference in a side-by-side comparison. The wider range of shades is most visible in the reds and greens on the screen, and provides more realistic TV images. So if your TV content places you in a jungle scene, for example, the rich array of displayable green tones will provide a more realistic representation of that environment for a more immersive viewing experience.
The next big thing in 4K Ultra HD TVs is High Dynamic Range (HDR). Not all Ultra HD screens offer this feature, but it is quickly becoming standard on the latest models. While HDR is often lumped in together with wide colour gamut, the two are quite distinct. Where wide colour gamut increases the number of displayable colours, HDR provides greater contrast between the brightest and darkest parts of the screen.
This means you will see darker darks, whiter whites, and more detail within these traditionally muddy areas on the screen. So, if your TV content places the action inside a cave, you’ll be better able to make our stalactites and stalagmites… or the colony of bats resting inside. If you’re looking at imagery of clouds, you’ll see more detail in the whites so you can see the three-dimensional quality of clouds—much more closely aligned to what you see when you lie in the grass and stare up at the sky than the clouds your pre-schooler produces in their first artwork.
Most film content is captured at 24 frames per second. This frame rate was chosen because it is the minimum filming rate that also produces decent sound quality, without the sound feeling chopy or broken up. It also didn’t use up too much film, so it helped keep filming costs lower. At frames rates below 5 frames per second, the human brain sees discrete images—imagine a stop-motion film that’s been greatly slowed down. Film at rates above 5 frames per second, and the brain perceives what it sees as motion. The higher the frame rate, the less blurry and more smooth and lifelike the motion appears.
As filming technology develops, it is now more affordable to film at higher frame rates. A great deal of video content is now shot at 50 frames per second, and the newest Ultra HD screens have refresh rates of 100Hz, 200 Hz, or higher (hertz is measured in frames per second), reducing motion blur, and providing smoother and more lifelike action for the viewer. This difference will be most apparent in active content, such as car racing or fast-action sports.

This salad is super easy to prepare and extremely satisfying to eat. Feel free to experiment with using different kinds of vegetables and beans and alter the proportions to your taste. Just be sure to keep the ratio of dressing to salad the same for the most delectable mix.
Put the zucchini, bell pepper, scallions, tomatoes, parsley, and chickpeas in a large bowl and gently mix.
Combine the tahini, brown rice syrup, lemon juice, garlic, soy sauce, ground turmeric, salt, cayenne, and water in a small bowl or large measuring cup. Whisk until smooth. Add additional water to reach the desired consistency.
Stir the dressing into the salad until the vegetables and beans are evenly coated. Chill for a few hours before serving.

Resilience has nothing to do with good or bad. Resilience is about the ability of a system to achieve its goals. Goodness and badness are value judgments about those goals. They do not tell us about the resilience of the system.
The words above, or something very close to them, came out of my mouth when I was advising a student about a thesis he is writing related to resilience. There are many examples of social systems that most people would consider "bad", but which appear to demonstrate very strong resilience. This is especially obvious in politics. For example, I would guess that across the globe there are very few people who hold positive sentiments toward the political regime of North Korea. However, that regime has exhibited extraordinary resilience against efforts by many of the most economically and militarily powerful countries in the world to encourage it to change its ways. While less extreme, tensions between the political right and left in many countries shows how each demonstrates a degree of resilience when out of power that is often seen as frustrating to their opposition.
In the context of communities, the resilience of poverty, and related to that malnutrition and homelessness, demonstrates another system that many people would like to end, but which seems to be stubbornly resilient to effective change (Allison & Hobbs, 2004).. It is a self-organizing system, made up of numerous subsytems that benefit from a poverty regime and adapt with great flexibility to changing government policies and sociodemographic conditions.
To me, the presence of highly resilient, yet morally "bad", systems seems so obvious. To understand resilience, one must understand that it applies to both "good" systems and "bad" systems. I would guess that these are structurally the same, and that in many cases what is good to one person or group of people is bad to another. In addition, in many instances the resilience issue is one of how the "bad" system relates to the "good" system. This is seen in the case of left and right wing politics, cited above, but also in the case of natural hazard disasters and community resilience to deal with them. It is even hard to use the words "good" and "bad" here, as they are simply two systems occupying the same space.
Take for example, human settlements and major weather events, which appear to be increasingly in conflict with one another. Natural events (typhoons/hurricanes, as well as earthquakes and tsunamis) only become disasters when people are harmed by them. People are harmed by them when they settle in locations or build structures in ways that largely ignore the potential damage that may ensue. Climate change is the same. In both of these instances, there is a lack of understanding by the human system of the natural system, which then results in a human disaster. One cannot exist without the other.
Similarly, when we try to assess the resilience of a community's tourism system, we are not making judgments about how environmentally sustainable or socially conscious the system may be. Instead the focus should (in my opinion) be on the ability of the system to effectively navigate or manage the adaptive cycle in response to any perturbations that may arise. Environmental conservation and social equity are (again in my opinion) sustainable development issues, not resilience issues. (See: Sustainability Driven and Resilience Driven Societal Development.) And they can also be highly contentious political issues, where people disagree on what is good action and what is bad action -- and we can assess the resilience of each of those positions.
Many of the proponents of the systems theory approach to community resilience have long claimed that it is non-normative (neither good or bad), and is primarily a descriptive science (Brand & Jax, 2007). I believe that this is true from a systems approach, which is what I am arguing here. When we describe the resilience of a system, and how it maintains (or loses) that resilience, then the normative issues of good and bad are mostly irrelevant. Resilience becomes normative when we try to make a system more resilient. In that instance, we immediately bring in values and, as a result, politics. (See, for example: What to Save? The Normative Dilemmas of Resilience.) This is what the critiques of resilience are focused on, which is a perfectly valid argument because so much of the discussion these days is on how to make communities more resilient, especially to climate change. I also admit there there are some value judgments made in selecting variables to assess the resilience of a system, but again, this is not necessarily a characteristic of resilience, but rather of the epistemological biases of the researcher.
The possibility of neoliberal tendencies in the application and practice of resilience is a topic that deserves attention from sociology of science perspective. Beyond that is the large gap in organizational resilience literature on the resilience of bad (or undesirable) systems, as well as the relationship of bad systems to good systems, however those adjectives might be defined. I think these same issues may apply to psychological resilience (Berkes & Ross, 2013). Most things in life are a balance between preferred and non-preferred options, which can be conceptualized from a variety of ways, including a resilience systems approach.
This post is based on conversations that I recently had with at a workshop on sustainability and resilience in rural communities, held in Taipei, Taiwan. I am not sure if I believe what I wrote or not, but I am putting out for thought and discussion.
A system is a mostly independent, learning and self-organizing entity. A human social system is a collection of individuals working together toward some goal(s). For the purposes of this discussion, resilience is defined as the capacity of a system to behave in a way that maintains a sense coherence through changing conditions, while sustainability is defined as a system's behavior that can be considered environmentally, socially and economically ethical.
- I think my definition of resilience is fairly standard, although the activities that I believe could fall under this definition (below) might differ from what some resilience theorists say. Sustainability's definition is more complicated. I build upon the thinking of many resilience authors who consider sustainability as a normative practice, with resilience being a non-normative descriptive characteristic of a system. I extend the idea of "normative" (a "common ideal") to mean a "morally ethical goal" because that is how I read most of the recent UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. I realize that there are other definitions of sustainability.
All systems have some degree of resilience, which is exhibited in their self-organizing effort to survive (system survivability). This might also be considered as their resistance to extinction. Examples of (mostly) extinct societies from the past are evidence that not all social systems are resilient over the long term. ("Long" is, of course, a relative measurement, as is, to a degree, "extinct".) Some form of social organization appears to be a natural state for all social systems, although what that form of organization is can vary considerably.
Based on propositions 1, 2 and 3, we can define sustainability as the effort to make a resilient system more normative. Normative here is defined as environmentally ethical, socially ethical and economically ethical. The goal then becomes to create system resilient first, and then make it sustainable (ethical).
Examples of this would be strongly centralized and bureaucratically complex organizations, including countries and most large business enterprises. Their resilience is based on the power that the social system gives to their central leadership, and the diminished voice that it it gives to average members in shaping policies that direct the system overall.
The above scenario is a Resilience Driven Approach to Social System Development. Resilience is the base line upon which all other other actions, including sustainability, are then undertaken. I believe that this is how most social systems around the world function. This, for example, has been the argument made by developing countries (such as China and India) to allow them to have higher rates of greenhouse gas emissions than more developed countries (like the US and Europe) in global climate change discussions, which will strengthen their resilience first, after which they can focus more on sustainability.
An alternative approach could be to make sustainability (ethics) the primary goal of the system, with resilience a secondary goal. The system could self-organize (a resilience action) around sustainability (ethical) objectives.
This might also be a smart resilience move, as sustainability arguments often claim greater long-term system survivability (such as the conservation of natural resources). There is also evidence from the past suggesting that non-resilient societies (those that became extinct) were also environmentally unsustainable.
Economic sustainability is important for the overall quality of life of a social system, but is less clearly tied to the complete collapse of a social system (resilience). The demise of communism as practiced in the Soviet Union and Maoist China might be examples of economic system collapses. In both cases, however, the systems were able to reorganize and continue in a modified form.
Social sustainability (social ethics) is certainly a laudable goal, but may be the least crucial in terms of the complete collapse of a social system. On the other hand, social sustainability, depending on how it is defined, can be a major factor in building system resilience responses to fast and slow variables that put pressure on a system to change.
As opposed to highly centralized and complex systems, participatory social systems might be an example of a sustainability approach to societal development. The social system is made socially ethical by allowing members to have some kind of voice in the selection of their leaders and in the adoption of policies that define system relationships and behavior. The system’s resilience is primarily based on the greater perceived legitimacy of the selected leaders and policies.
Based on these propositions and examples, a system’s resilience is lower in the short run under a sustainability driven approach, and higher in the short run in a resilience driven approach where fewer ethical considerations need to be made. Socially sustainable participatory social systems are more susceptible to short term influences (public opinion shifts), making them potentially less resilient if legitimacy issues arise. This might be seen in the recent vote by UK citizens to succeed from the EU. Citizen satisfaction levels, however, may be higher over the long term in sustainability driven systems because members have a greater sense of empowerment than in resilience driven systems.
Spatial scales (both geographic space and social space) and temporal scales need to be considered in this discussion. The spatial scale of the social system can range from a neighborhood organization, to a country, and to the entire planet Earth. Discussions of "short term" and "long term" changes should be clearly defined each time they are used, as they can vary considerably from one person's perspective to the next.
Finally, people tend to want both a resilient social system that is able to maintain a high degree of recognizable self organized structure through a fast and slow changing world, and a sustainable social system that leads to more ethical and harmonious relationships with our environment and other people. To achieve this, I think it is important to be aware of the differences between resilience-driven and sustainability-driven policies and actions, because without proper attention, it is possible to have one without the other. Balancing the two approaches may be the major challenge that human societies face.
- This commentary was originally posted on the Tourism Place blog on 24 October 2015.
I have had a continuing interest in resilience as a conceptual framework for community planning, with particular application to tourism development, since I first became familiar with the resilience literature back in 2012. With my background in urban planning (that is mostly what I teach at NAU), I was especially drawn to how planners were discussing issues of slow and evolutionary resilience. And although I only have one formal publication on resilience (Lew 2013), I do have an ongoing research project in Taiwan exploring the differences and similarities between resilience and sustainability. Some presentations based on preliminary data (subject to change) from that research can be found here.
One of the slides in my recent presentations on the topic of resilience and sustainability contains a list of the similarities and difference between the two concepts. Putting this list together has helped me tremendously, because I find that the academic literature is more confusing than helpful on this. I have come to the conclusion that there are two basic reasons why academics (and others) are confused by the relationship between resilience and sustainability.
The first reason for the confusion is the weak and sloppy conceptualization of sustainability, which can sometimes combine criteria that are resilience in origin with those that are more solidly based in sustainability theory.
There is a tendency by some to define sustainability as including every possible "good" thing under the sun that a community should strive to achieve, from carbon reduction to heritage conservation to gender equity to creating jobs to open government to religious freedom to performing arts, and more. Such a kitchen soup approach is, in my opinion, good comprehensive planning (as I learned in planning school) and might be good community development, but it does not reflect the original concept of sustainable development, as articulated in the 1987 report, Our Common Future, by the UN's World Commission on Environmental and Development (aka the Brundtland Report), which elevated "sustainable development" to worldwide importance.
Our Common Future clearly articulated a strong environmental ethic and a strong conservation approach. This also included the restoration of historical ecological systems. Although there were some proactive elements (such as creating fairness between rich and poor), the emphasis was on protecting and maintaining natural and cultural resources for the future and avoiding change, which is much more narrowly defined than comprehensive planning.
A good example of the kitchen soup approach to sustainability is the Global Sustainable Tourism Council's criteria for sustainable tourism destination development. A good example of sustainability that is more true to the original definition is the European Commission's European Tourism Indicators System for Sustainable Destination Management.
The second reason for the confusion between resilience and sustainability is that they share some common assumptions, methods and goals. Table 1, below, summarizes what I see as the major similarities between these two frameworks. In essence, they are both seeking to ensure the survivability of human society through greater harmony with the natural world. As such, both resilience and sustainability research has tended to focus on natural ecosystems, on community development, and increasingly on climate change. These common goals and research topics makes it seem like resilience and sustainability are the same thing. They are not (IMHO).
Table 2, below, outlines the many and major differences between resilience and sustainability. The biggest difference is in the basic ontological assumptions about the nature of the world: whether it is normal to be in a state of stability and balance, or in a state of change and even chaos. To be sustainable requires that stability is possible. However, human experience seems to be telling us that we live in a chaotic world that requires resilience.
My purpose is not to denigrate sustainability in favor of resilience. While I do not see much value in those approaches that poorly define sustainability, I do believe that it is a major paradigm for our time and has brought good results to the world. However, after almost 30 years, sustainability has its problems and does not seem to be an adequate framework in itself for addressing contemporary world and community challenges.
Instead, I suggest that the new paradigm for community development should be the "Resilient and Sustainable Community" -- a community that demonstrates strength in both sustainability and resilience.
Table 3 shows the basic indicators that we have been using in our research in rural Taiwan tourism communities. This is another slide that I have been using recently to more clearly explain the conceptual differences between sustainability and resilience. It is based on the two questions, (1) and (2), listed above. For each area there is an indicator that reflects sustainability (conservation, restoration and change avoidance) and one that reflects resilience (adaptation and innovation). Neither is inherently better than the other - they are just different policy choices.
In general, the better a community is able conserve (or sometimes recover) that which they cherish, the more successful they are at sustainability. Similarly, the better a community is able to adapt and change in areas that they want to see development, the better they are at resilience. On the other hand, the inability to protect a community resource against change, or being forced by external forces to change something in directions deemed undesirable by a community, reflects disempowered states of sustainability and of resilience, respectively.
Comments and suggestions on this blog post are welcome.
New text added: It can also be confused by authors who use a more simplified dictionary definition of resilience. This happens because everything conceivable, from a river to a city and from a sound to an idea, exhibits some degree of resilience. Things exist and they end; and in simplistic terms, measurements of the time between their coming into existence and their eventual ending reflects their resilience. Thus, an researcher could say that because a religion has been in existence for over 2000 years, it is resilient. On the other hand, one could also say it is sustainable, which leads to the second reason for the confusion between sustainability and resilience.
Old text removed: While it can also be confused by authors who use a more simplified dictionary definition of resilience, that tends to be less of an issue (so far) in resilience scholarship.

Possible software with support for converting of skp files to stp file format.
Search for skp to stp converter or software able to handle these file types.
Convert SketchUp graphics to ISO-10303 STEP product data.
We have found 2 software records in our database eligible for .skp to .stp file format conversion.
It should be possible to export 3D models saved in SketchUp graphics format (.skp) to ISO-10303 STEP product data format (.stp, .step). Not all SketchUp files contain proper 3D models though, so the conversion will only be possible with the ones that have the whole models.
The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned skp to stp. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.

Children are carrying knives “like they are mobile phones”, a judge has warned, after he sentenced a gang for killing a teenager. Liam Hunt, 17, was stabbed four times and left to die in a pool of blood in an alleyway after being attacked on February 14 last year. He was kicked, punched and suffered a 2.7 inch-deep wound from being knifed in the neck opposite a primary school in Northampton, in a killing that the judge described as being “just short of an execution”.
The court previously heard that the victim had been in a fight with one of the defendants two days before the fatal attack.
After the stabbing, CCTV showed the gang running away through residential streets where they buried a knife in a planter, while other footage showed one of those involved re-enacting the attack in a McDonald’s restaurant.
Last month, five men were convicted for their part in the youngster’s death at Northampton Crown Court. They were jailed this week for a total of 36 years.

BMW was founded in 1913, and established as we know it now a day’s BMW AG in 1917. In the beginning BMW produced aircraft motors but after the Second World War they been forced to cease the production of aircrafts, they shift to the production of motorcycles in 1923, and following in 1929 the production of automobiles. The first car that BMW produce successfully was the Dixi. The logo was first used in advertisement in 1929.
Daimler-Benz AG was a German manufacture of automobiles, motor vehicles and internal combustion engines founded in founded in 1926 by the merge of Benz & Cie and Daimler Motoren Gesellchaft. Daimler-Benz most known as Mercedes-Benz created in the World War II al types of motors, submarine, cars and aircrafts. In 1998 Daimler-Benz bought Chrysler Corporation forming DaimlerChrylerAG , the group sold Chrysler eventually it rename as Chrysler LLC and the company within two months rename themselves as Daimler AG simply.
BMW now a days is one of the most important brand in the marked of luxury cars with his direct competitor Mercedes Benz, in 2008 BMW sold approximately 53.197 millions of Euros, reducing theirs sells of 2007 by 3 million Euros, the shareholder structure is divided like this: Stefan Quandt: 17,4%, Johanna Quandt: 16,7%, Susanne Klatten 12,6%, and in free float: 53,3%.
Its estimate that 56% of the vehicle BMW produce are power by petrol engines and the other 44% by diesel engines, the annual production of BMW presents in 2010 a production of 1,236.989 of BMW, MINI 241,043, Rolls-Royce 3,221 and motorcycles 112,271. The car-sharing launches in 2012 on December the program DriveNow operates over 1000 vehicles in the world and 60,000 costumers.
Making BMW an innovating brand that wants to respond to all the customer demand Mercedes Benz now a days represent for many people around the world luxury and a high status, the one that have a Mercedes car is a successful person, until 2009 Mercedes Benz produced a limited production of sport cars with the collaboration of Mclaren, Mercedes enter to team Mclaren formula one race. Mclaren ceased in 2009 the collaboration and went to develop its own car the Mclaren MP4-12C, launched in 2011. Mercedes throughout the years had maintained a high reputation for its quality and durability at the moment Mercedes has about 18 model of car, also trucks, buses and vans.
The car sharing program that they launched car2go recently added all electric fleets in Amsterdam and San Diego in 2011, they want to make the costumers life more easy, as a difference with zipcar the costumers doesn’t need to let the car in the same place he found it. Recently the market has develop the preoccupation of the environment affect the industries of all kind, Mercedes Benz assume this change in the environment as well of other brands and develop new concept of hybrid cars presented at the largest event of the industries of vehicles, the Frankfurt motor show.
People involved Norbert Reithofer was born the 29 of may 1956 in Germany, he is de CEO of BMW AG, also Chairman of the broad of management. For his way of manage the company he had received awards such as grand decoration of honours in gold in 2005, Bayerischen Verdienstorden in 2010 and Chevaliers of the Légion d'honneur in 2012. Norbert is a good example of a businessman that is creative and innovating he took the company and make what its now a days.
Talking about the project of car sharing Norbert recently celebrate the success on the project BMW is making huge advantages in the car sharing program, they introduced as the first luxury brand that own his own car sharing program in the US, working like this 70 electric cars parked in 9 garages, all license driver over 21 can drive. In comparison to hertz and zipcar DriveNow program does not need a membership fee to drive their cars. the initial point was san Francisco that has been proof to be one of the most enthusiastic population in car sharing.
Dieter Zetsche CEO of mercedes benz born on may 5 1953 in turkey businessman and CEO of Daimler AG since 2006. He joined Daimler-Benz back in 1976 working in the research department. He completed his doctorate in engineering in 1982 at the university of Paderborn . Zetsche is a very influential person he was one that influence the demerged with Chrysler in 2007, making the company change name as it is now Daimler AG.
He is making a huge effort to change many aspects of Mercedes-Benz company in order to be the leader in the market. He is a visionary an innovating person as well. The car sharing program has been successful at the moment they introduced the concept in Amsterdam in 2011 people usually refers as fantastic you can pick your car anywhere and left it anywhere. They are now on 21 countries and you can find them in 2 types powered by gasoline or electric, with 135km of range .
Zipcar is a us membership based on car-sharing that provides automobile reservation to its members, the members of zip car have to pay the time they used the cars whether is for a few hours or for days, it was founded in 2000 by Cambridge Massachusetts. Its know led by Scott Griffith. Now a days zipcar has 777,000 members and offers nearly 10,000 vehicles in the US, Canada, UK, Spain and Austria.
Making this the worlds leading carsharing network. Zipcar charges a one-time application fee, an annual fee, and a reservation charge. Gas, parking, insurance, and maintenance are included in the price. In recent years many competitor have been added to the market of car-sharing, zipcar in respond merged with flexcar to create a nation car sharing company . In our case this is one of the organizations that BMW and Daimler will confront as new competitors; this company is one of the leaders of the market making it a huge challenge for companies entering this segment of the market.
Hertz Is an American car rental company with international locations in 145 countries around the world. It’s the second car rental company in the world, it was founded by Walter L Jacobs in 1918, which started with the rental operations in Chicago with 12 ford model T, then in 1923 he sold it to Jhon D Hertz.
On December 2005 Hertz was sold to a private equity group for 5,6 billion dollar, on 2010 hertz acquire British Car Auctions, recently on 2011 hertz introduce ExpressRent kioskos on a huge number of locations. Hertz also started to introduce a number of green cars that are friendly with the environment, they now have hybrid cars, that as the other cars can be reserve via online or by phone.
It was founded in 1957 it’s an international brand with more than 6,000 location distributed all around the united states, Canada, united kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France and Spain. Enterprise basically works the same as the other organization that gives out this kind of service, but the differentiation that they have is the low prices in their rents and the service that people give to the costumers when they want to rent a car or to give a complain.
Unlike the competitors they have always operated in a local network of neighborhood offices, and if its needed the company sends someone to pick you up now a day’s enterprise has location within 15 miles of the 90 percent of the population, by 2012 it operates with 6,500 offices around the world, as handling millions of dollar per year they purchase also million of dollar worth vehicles throughout local dealerships.
In our case this is another example of a huge company that has the perfect knowledge of the market, what they want, what they need, as we seen all these 3 leader organization has differences that take all the possibilities of entering in a different way on the market down.
Main problem The differentiation has always been a problem to organizations that want to enter to a new market or want to innovate, in this case we can see that Daimler and BMW want to expand their vision getting in the car sharing branch, well I think it’s a pretty good idea to expand, but there is the problem that would always appear if an organization want to expand, how you would be different from others?, how my product or service would be preferred by the costumer over the one of the competitor. In conclusion I think that the most relevant problem is how these organizations would overcome the existing ones in order to be the leaders of car sharing programs.
Strategy Its evident that BMW and Daimler AG are luxury car makers that know how to read the market, that are customer driving organizations, that satisfy the needs of the customers, with all these experience I think that what they should do what people expect them to do, that is to say, they are seen as an huge organization that takes car beyond expectations of customers, in the car sharing program they should do the same, look at the competitors and see what its missing , in order to implement It on their car sharing programs, this case dates from 2010.
Now a days in 2013 we can see that all this projects have been sucsesfull because they knew hoe to give the customer what zipcar or hertz did not, an easier way to use the cars, to become part of the family,to live the experience of car sharing.
Questions 1. Discuss environmental factors related to population that are changing the way certain people approach car buying and are thus creating new market segments.
Environmental factors have always been an issue for companies because they have to adapt to this changes in order to survive in the market, some of this environmental factors affect the customer as well changing his/her way of thinking, for instance now a days the great issue in the world is the global warming, despite this has been a problem from long years ago, now people are paying more attention to it, so green products became one of the most important things to do, simply because the way of thinking of the society changes, making people care more about the earth, so often people prefer to buy a product that is friendly with the environment to another that’s not.
These is the same effect on car selling, some people prefer now to buy green cars than cars that damage the environment they feel like they are doing something good to help the earth.
2. Describe the values held by this emerging group of drivers that incline them toward car sharing programs. The concept of vehicle ownership is changing and so the attitudes towards car sharing services, urban drivers concerns of environmental issues have become their number one priority, the values that are implied in this emerging group of people are the creation of conscience toward the damaging of the environment, the risks that this problems have in your life, the worry for the society, this people have acquired a commitment not only with themselves but also with the society.
3. How are automakers using car-sharing programs to cater to customers’ component lifestyles? The lifestyle of people is changing, every year cities become more populated, and therefore the congestion is more intense, limited parking sites, more pollution safety and security became a problem for the society.
A good company characterizes themselves by getting advantage of every situation in order to expand, because lifestyle is changing and more people are worried about their future, companies are making this car-sharing programs in order to attract another different kind of segment, these programs make people feel good with themselves and the company also wins profits by making these kind of expansions.

Did Ranbir Kapoor just visit Alia Bhatt and family at home for dinner?
Ranbir Kapoor is certainly riding high with the success of his recent release Sanju. But the actor who has had a hit after quite a while seems to be already moving on to his next venture which is the Ayan Mukherji film. But it inst Ranbir’s work ethics that have caught our attention, in fact like most have noticed it is the apparent closeness between Ranbir and co-star Alia Bhatt. While rumours of the two dating have been doing the rounds what has now added fuel to the fire is the sudden visit Ranbir paid to the Bhatt household.
In fact, Ranbir Kapoor was snapped at Alia Bhatt’s residence when he dropped by to enjoy dinner with Alia and her dad filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. The two who were snapped chatting by a window seemed oblivious to the media and were later joined by Alia’s dad as well. While it certainly is interesting to know that Ranbir dropped by for dinner, questions are being raised about their apparent relationship.
As per the buzz, reports of Ranbir and Alia dating started doing the rounds after they arrived for Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s wedding reception together. Post that the two have been spotted multiple times enjoying each other’s company.
Back on the film front, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will soon be seen in the film Brahmastra that is being directed by Ayan Mukherji.

I was looking through the TiddlyInks store and stumbled across the ‘White Queen’ and thought her dress would be perfect to colour with ‘sparkles’ just like the gorgeous dress warn by Elsa in the movie Frozen.
I jumped on Facebook this morning and went ‘Live’ whilst I coloured her. If you would like to view the video, pop on over to watch.
I began by colouring the background so that I could be sure to keep the hair and dress lighter. Sometimes I find I can go too dark and not leave enough highlights if I colour the image first.
Then I coloured her skin, hair and dress.
And finally finished by adding all the little dots for sparkle!
Continuing with the theme of Frozen I wanted to add some snowflakes in the background but I didn’t want them to overpower the design.
Use two little mini snowflake stamps, I stamped the background with clear ink and then sprinkled with a clear glitter embossing powder and heat set.
Leaving a delicate background that adds a little texture and sparkle without detracting from the image.
I am working on my Christmas cards so of course I went with a Christmas sentiment. I coated the bottom layer with white embossing powder and the top was coloured with distress inks and coated with the same clear glitter embossing powder.
The ‘Merry’ was stamped and heat embossed as well and then all glued into position.
I adore the end result. Clean but eye catching.
I hope I’ve inspired you to sparkle up your images!

The latest update to Tilt Brush brings welcome improvements, including support for showcasing creations on the popular online 3D model viewer Sketchfab.
Tilt Brush, Google’s virtual reality paint program for the HTC Vive got a major update recently to version 7.0, bringing a number of useful and novel features. Scaling, rotating, and translating sketches is now easily achieved by holding down the grip buttons on both controllers. This transformative feature is significant, particularly for those with limited space for room-scale VR, allowing the creation and viewing of huge sketches, no matter what your room bounds are.
One of the more experimental features just added to Tilt Brush is 3D model import, allowing OBJ files to be added directly into sketches; there’s great potential here for creatives and this will no doubt open the door to 3D artists interested in integrating Tilt Brush into their workflow. A high-resolution snapshot mode is also now available, allowing up to 6x the default resolution (11880 x 6588 vs. 1980 x 1098), very useful for showcasing sketches at the highest quality.
Further out of left field is a new mini-game called ‘Tiltasaurus’. Where there’s sketching to be done, word games are inevitable; Pictionary-style games have evolved organically among Tilt Brush fans, so the developers have created a proper feature to support this. When you start a game of Tiltasaurus, you’re shown a word to create, and your friends can guess while watching the desktop spectator cam (you can even add your own words if you want).
Along with several small fixes and improvements, the team has made controller swapping easy. Switch your drawing and pallet hands by simply tapping the bottoms of the Vive’s motion controllers together at any time, which will switch between left and right-handedness.
Sketchfab, a 3D content sharing platform, has been likened to ‘the YouTube of 3D models’, due to its extensive support of all major 3D file formats, simple interface, and embeddable sharing. More recently, it has embraced virtual reality, adding support for viewing models in mobile and desktop VR headsets. The VR features have expanded to a full VR interface, with support for teleportation movement. As the models can be animated, there is potential for viewing more than just static objects in VR; indeed Sketchfab are already claiming to be the largest online destination for VR content in the world.
With Tilt Brush’s focus on simple creation of formerly complex 3D art, sharing it should be equally easy. Thankfully, Sketchfab is now truly ‘Tilt Brush Ready’. With the latest version of Tilt Brush, which brings improvements to the FBX file output process, it’s easier to upload creations to Sketchfab. And on Sketchfab’s end, Tilt Brush models are now automatically recognised, with key parameters set to ensure the work closely resembles how it looked in the original software when you view it on the web in 3D or VR modes. This is achieved with a new ‘Additive’ transparency, luminance texture detection, bloom and filmic tone-mapping post processing, and defaulting to the same black background used in Tilt Brush.

Have you ever tried a fry with chayote? I've neither tried nor thought about it until I saw this recipe in Geetha Achal's Blog. She is a wonderful blogger and she blogs in Tamil. You can get lots of healthy recipes from her blog. The moment I saw this recipe, I bookmarked it because my hubby is one among those people who hate potato. Geetha used chilly powder and turmeric powder in her recipe. But, I replaced these two ingredients with sambar powder. Also, I added oats to the fry which was not actually in the original recipe. Here, I should mention that I got inspired from Priya to use oats in my dishes.
1. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard. Once it get popped add the cut chayote.
2. Now, add salt and sambar powder.
3. Mix well. Medium the flame.
4. With occasional stirring, wait till the chayote get cooked and roasted.
5. Add the powdered oats. Mix well.
6. Switch off the stove, add the curry leaf.
7. Serve as a side dish to sambar rice, rasam, yogurt rice etc..
Note : While chayote cooks, don't cover the pan with lid and another important thing, don't add water.
This goes to Nupur's "Blog Bites # 3 : Adaptation".
This also goes to Sudeshna's and RV's "Food for ailments and old age".
Chayote fry looks delicious just like potato fry,yummy.

My LS1 makes about 32-33psi cold idle 17-18psi warm idle and 25-30psi warm cruise and 55-56psi warm at wide open throttle with 10w-30 oil which is low compared to some that I’ve seen although it’s above the 6-10psi per 1000rpm guideline I’ve seen, could it be the oil pump is just worn from higher mileage? Or another issue?
could I go to a 15w-40 oil or similar? Or should I just buck up and do the pump now?
I don't think the oil pump is your issue, nor the bearings. A sudden drop in pressure like this makes me want to think a leaking o-ring on the pickup tube or something of that nature.
Do not go to a more viscous oil chasing oil pressure. That creates more problems than what you're dealing with already.
In any case, get ready to drop the oil pan. Given that you have sufficient oil pressure still, it's not something I'd stress too much about. It should still be looked into, but your engine isn't going to seize at that pressure.
Honestly, your current pressure is exactly what I shoot for on a new engine.
I really don't see an issue here.
okay thanks for the input! I guess I will hold off on doing it for now and keep an eye on it and just do it when it’s time for the cam swap but just curious why do you shoot for those oil pressures instead of higher?
Oil pressure is a lot like money. There's only so much you really need, and the rest is just for showing off.
The bare minimum pressure spec'd by GM is just 5.6 psi at 1000 rpm. I go for 2-3x that amount just to be safe or 12-18 psi at 1000 rpm. That's more than enough pressure to keep oil supplied throughout the engine. More than that is just robbing power and straining the oil pump.
I bought my '98 ss in 2000 with 9500 miles, in 19 years of ownership, and 750 some odd 1/4 mile passes, the oil pressure has never wavered; 22 lbs. Hot idle, 44 lbs. Cold start up, and has never exceeded around 50 lbs. At wot. This has always been in the back of my mind, but I always find oil on rockers and in head valley's when I take the rocker covers off, so I let her buck. Good to know I'm not the only one with "low" oil pressure.
If it bothers you I would put in a higher pressure oil pump vs running heavier oil.
If this engine has many miles on it then some wear is certain. O-ring on the pickup tube could be worn to the point that air is getting by decreasing oil pressure just as bearing wear has gotten to the point that your losing oil pressure. Running a heavier oil will increase the pressure some and I don't see that as a problem but its just a (X::X) on the problem. I've seen a sludge'd 5.3 that the screen in the oil pick up tube was caked in oil deposits and causing a restriction. You can keep squeezing what you can out of it but start preparing for an overhaul.
The gauge in the car isn't always reliable.
Also if there is flicker in the headlights and bouncing needles in the gauge cluster ever few seconds it can be the alternator is failing (voltage regulator). My TA appeared to have flickering oil pressure and it was actually a failing alternator.
Yes. Never trust an electrical gauge, ecpecially the OE gauge on a twenty year old car.
Bottom line- The pressures you mention in the first post are well within normal. There is nothing wrong there.
G Atsma beat me to it. I don't see any issue what so ever.
Run it until the engine does of old age. You're well within spec.
I don't see that stated in your original post. It might be assumed based on your screen name but many members have several vehicles. A daily driver and weekend or strip car / truck is pretty common etc.
In any cash, depending on the age and condition of the mechanical gauge it may not be trustworthy either.
However, at this point I don't think there an issue based on what's been presented.
Thanks for the help and peace of mind guys, I will put an oil pump in it when I do my cam, should I do a melling m295 or just an oem gm pump?
WS6 Store/RPM speed has a nice ported pump for an affordable price (less than one hundred bucks). Works well for me.
The Melling M295 will work fine.

Firefighters are forced to retreat as flame close in on them in Placerita Canyon at the Sand Fire on July 24, 2016 in Santa Clarita, California.
Some 200 firefighters and supporters of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection on Monday rallied for higher wages on the steps of the state capitol.
Members of Cal Fire Local 2881, the union that represents 6,000 state employed firefighters who respond to brush fires and major emergencies up and down the state and calls for service in 36 of the state's 58 counties via contracts with local governments, marched blocks from their offices to the state Capitol.
It was the first such rally the agency has had since the 1970s, said union president Mike Lopez.
Firefighters say they are paid less and must work more hours compared with their counterparts at other agencies. They say that when they leave Cal Fire after 15 years of service at the rank of fire captain, they go to work for a local agency and make more money, work fewer hours and earn better benefits as a rookie firefighter.
"It went well," Lopez said. "We going to keep trying to push to get them to come back to the table and negotiate."
Firefighters in the 20 largest agencies in the state with more than 75 personnel, for instance, can earn up to $8,700 a month in gross base pay before retirement and benefits are taken out, compared with a Cal Fire captain who earns up to $4,609 a month in gross base pay, said Tim Edwards, the state rank-and-file director and chair of the union's negotiating team. Like other municipal fire agencies, Cal Fire firefighters also earn overtime.
All municipal agencies in the state have 56-hour work weeks, while Cal Fire firefighters work a 72-hour workweek, Edwards said. Cal Fire firefighters last received a pay increase of 4 percent in fiscal 2014-15. The current agreement is scheduled to expire in July 2017, officials said.
Brian Ferguson, a spokesman for the California Department of Human Resources, the agency negotiating with the union, said last week that "the state must balance the needs of many different bargaining units and the overall state budget."
Harley Shaiken, a labor studies professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said that the union's push is a "very real, but hidden cost of climate change."
"There are people on the front lines of this where this is their livelihood," he said. "They're feeling increased pressures and all the tensions that are related to this. At a minimum this is putting it front and center. These are real fiscal issues. There are a lot of other urgent priorities, but this has to be put in that mix."
The push comes as firefighters are putting out or mopping eight fires currently burning across the state during California's sixth year of historic drought and extreme heat combining to make for tinderbox conditions year round.

Cheap Thrills - Boston: Sunday Night Vide-O-bama!
If you know me, there's no doubt who I'm voting for... Maybe I'll post a different video every week; we'll see. I liked this one, because the message is: "I'm American. I was born here. I had some fairly normal family experiences. Everybody chill out about believing those emails forwarded by your crazy relative..." I see sincerity.

With the announcement in December 2017 that B.C. Premier John Horgan intended to proceed with the Site C Dam project in the northeast of the province, disappointed and angry activists realized they had to keep their vigilance focused on the $10.7 billion hydroelectric project.
Horgan said the province had no choice, listing among other things a credit rating downgrade and a 12 per cent rise in BC Hydro over the next 10 years if Site C was cancelled.
Site C has been contentious on environmental grounds and to local First Nations ever since then-Liberal premier Christy Clark approved it in December 2014, and this was before the estimated doubling of its cost over the past four years.
Today, the legal fight over the dam project has not ended. The project has been the subject of intense opposition from some First Nations, area landowners and environmental groups.
In a new book, Damming the Peace: The Hidden Costs of the Site C Dam, 15 journalists and policy professionals pick the project up and peer at it from every direction. It’s a 260-page detailed critique, and was accurately described by activist Maude Barlow as "a road map" or way forward for opponents.
Edited by agrologist Wendy Holm, the book is split into three sections – providing background context for the case, looking at the impacts of the dam, and how Site C and the behaviour of federal and provincial government impacts “big picture” policy concerns.
In her introduction, Holm wrote of the shock she felt as someone who presented expert evidence to the Joint Federal-Provincial Review Panel and the BC Utilities Commission on Site C’s economic, social, and environmental impact after Horgan’s decision to proceed with the dam.
From energy alternatives to Site C, to Indigenous resistance in the face the trauma inflicted on traditional territories, to farmland and food security, to biodiversity, Damming the Peace is a book about potential loss -- and about learning and fighting.
Journalists such as Andrew McLeod and Andrew Nikiforuk lend their considerable investigative talents, Nikiforuk in two chapters -- the first on earthquakes, dams and fracking, and the second on the downstream impact on the Athabasca Delta.
And former B.C. Environment Minister Joan Sawicki explores how those who followed her in government “overlooked” the importance of the Peace River’s microclimate.
In the poignant final chapter, the late politician and journalist Rafe Mair writes on “Democracy and Civil Disobedience.” It explores the history of fighting back against unjust laws and unscrupulous decisions by the establishment, and links everything from the Tolpuddle Martyrs, to Gandhi, to MLK to Site C and Kinder Morgan.
This book provides an organized and rigorous “how to” guide on the intellectual and fact-based opposition to Site C, and in doing this becomes a great model for a book on any long-term protest. Its ambition is to inform on the subject from every possible angle, keeping the Peace River, the region and its people in mind, rather than the expediency of the business and government angle, which is usually given at least equal weight by the mainstream media.
Where there are currently pickets and protests against projects like Site C and Kinder Morgan (in particular), Damming the Peace offers another stream of criticism, on no less passionate for coming out in “quieter” book form.
Because its message -- the folly of the thoughtless, lumbering Site C white elephant that is exposed by science, investigation and on-the-scenes understanding – rings loud and clear.
Damming the Peace is published by James Lorimer & Company Ltd. It costs $22.95.

Harold Lloyd hanging from a clock tower in the film "Safety Last!" from 1923.
On New Year’s Day, creative works from 1923 entered the public domain. That includes books, movies and the music from the era.
U.S. copyright law has evolved over time, but as it stands now, items enter the public domain 70 years after the creator dies. Or, for works owned by corporations, like Disney or Pixar, the copyright lasts for 95 years.
To talk more about this, The Show spoke with Jennifer Jenkins. She teaches intellectual property law at Duke Law School and is the director for the Center for the Study of the Public Domain.

What is the FDA's Request for Comment?
What should I say in my comments?
How should I present my comments?
What is the existing law with regard to commercial speech?
Why shouldn't commercial speech have strong constitutional protections?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking comments on First Amendment issues related to protections for commercial speech, and the agency's authority to regulate advertising and marketing.
How the public responds to this request for comment will have an important influence on the FDA's approach to these issues. That in turn will affect both critical public health policies, and U.S. law on corporations' First Amendment speech rights.
Essential Action believes there should be no constitutional rights afforded to corporations, and certainly not protections for the right to advertise.
We work on a variety of public health issues, and we know that restricting advertisements in specific areas is often a vital public health measure. We also believe there are major public health benefits from imposing broad restrictions on advertising to children.
We have prepared a question-and-answer sheet on the FDA request for comment, which provides information on the context of the FDA's request, offers sample comment language, and tells you how to submit comments.
We also have compiled links to information on: commercial speech rights, Direct-to-Consumer advertising of pharmaceuticals, and advertising and tobacco.

Up, and to the office, where we sat, and at noon home to dinner, a small dinner because of a good supper. After dinner my wife and I by coach to St. Clement’s Church, to Mrs. Turner’s lodgings, hard by, to take our leaves of her. She is returning into the North to her children, where, I perceive, her husband hath clearly got the mastery of her, and she is likely to spend her days there, which for her sake I am a little sorry for, though for his it is but fit she should live where he hath a mind. Here were several people come to see and take leave of her, she going to-morrow: among others, my Lady Mordant, which was Betty Turner, a most homely widow, but young, and pretty rich, and good natured. Thence, having promised to write every month to her, we home, and I to my office, while my wife to get things together for supper. Dispatching my business at the office. Anon come our guests, old Mr. Batelier, and his son and daughter, Mercer, which was all our company. We had a good venison pasty and other good cheer, and as merry as in so good, innocent, and understanding company I could be. He is much troubled that wines, laden by him in France before the late proclamation was out, cannot now be brought into England, which is so much to his and other merchants’ loss. We sat long at supper and then to talk, and so late parted and so to bed. This day the Poll Bill was to be passed, and great endeavours used to take away the Proviso.
"wines, laden by him in France before the late proclamation was out, cannot now be brought into England"
L&M note a proclamation of 10 November had prohibited the import from France of all goods and manufactures of French origin.
The king gets his wish, they receivers of Poll will tell where every farthing is spent and whose pocket it does rest in.

We discussed the meaning of 'homely' before and I believe we came to the consensus view that it meant 'plain' rather than downright unattractive or ugly.
Does anyone know where exactly? Sounds like there was a North South divide even then.
"She is returning into the North"
Her husband was Yorkshire born, Kirkleatham, and was appointed Recorder of York in 1662.
We discussed the meaning of ‘homely’ before and I believe we came to the consensus view that it meant ‘plain’ rather than downright unattractive or ugly.
"Homely" is still used here in eastern Canada, as in "She's as homely as a stump fence"
"We discussed the meaning of ‘homely’ before and I believe we came to the consensus view that it meant ‘plain’ rather than downright unattractive or ugly."
It doesn't even need to refer to appearance; at this period it still retains its original sense of "pertaining to a home; such as is natural to find at home; simple, unpolished." When the messenger in Macbeth says "If you will take a homely man's advice, Be not found here," he is not referring to his looks.
@ O'Neill "Sounds like there was a North South divide even then."
Perhaps it's worth pointing out that given the condition of roads and the difficulty of land travel water transport was more important and faster. For someone in London or the south-east of England the European ports from Spain to the Baltic would have been closer in terms of travel time than central Yorkshire.
It can be a revealing experiment to redraw maps, either for the C17th. or today, with the scale in average travel time rather than distance.
Apologies: for "O'Neill" read "ONeville"

"...my Lady Mordant, which was Betty Turner,..."
surely 2 differing persons, one a widow, one a daughter of Jane???
CGS, isn't it simply that Elizabeth (Betty) Mordaunt's maiden name was Turner?
Betty, sister of Theo [age 14]is positioned as the youngest thus 11/12?, I would have thought, to have been too young to be already widowed or even married ?
Elizabeth [Betty ] very common name.
Jane's Sister, Elizabeth is married to Mr Dyke .
# Sir Charles Mordaunt 4th Bart. (1638 - 1664), married Elizabeth Johnson (abt 1645 - ?) of St Gregory,London, at St Bennet's, Paul's Wharf on 18th December 1663, but he died without issue. His widow married Francis Godolphin, of Colston, Wiltshire in 1669.
An interesting read, seeing all of Pepys aquaitenances crossing paths.
I be still confused so many Beths.
Turner a daughter or Sister or a nee Johnson? or Betty unknown.
"..She is returning into the North to her children,.." This makes daughter unlikely .
Poor Jane T...Doomed to the joys of Yorkshire, apparently Hell to her thinking.
...Our miserably unhappy couple, the Palmers...Though Roger ought to be pleased to escape. I wonder how "for ever" their severance can be since Sam doesn't mention divorce.
Whom one can suppose are reasonably happy having produced our delightful, if bratty The and the boys and since Jane seems willing to rejoin him, however reluctantly.
“…my Lady Mordant, which was Betty Turner,.."
The Turner moniker leads to the fact that it could have been a cousin, the daughter of a future Lord Mayor.
of London. Her uncle was Sir William Turner a merchant of the Drapers' Company, [became Lord Mayor of London ].
She had also an unmarried Sister in law, Sir Charles Sister named Elizabeth.
L&M footnote, " ... Pepys is mistaken in calling her Betty Turner; she was the daughter of Nicholas Johnson, of London, who had married Sir William Turner's sister. Her first Husband (Sir George Mordaunt Bt.) had died in 1665."
Spoiler "With her sister Mrs. Steward, she became a close friend of Pepys in the 1670's. ..."
No matter what definition of ‘homely” is used (plain, drawn to the home or downright ugly), Lady Mordant has all of the attributes of a great catch –“young, rich and good natured”. If she circles her life around her home a man wouldn’t have to worry about her flitting through the Court, etc.
"[Mrs Turner] is returning into the North to her children, where, I perceive, her husband hath clearly got the mastery of her, and she is likely to spend her days there, which for her sake I am a little sorry for, though for his it is but fit she should live where he hath a mind."
The Turners, who had lost their house in Salisbury Court in the Fire, returned to live in London in the following spring. John Turner, the husband, became a serjeant-at-law in 1669.
"Betty Turner, a most homely widow, but young, and pretty rich, and good natured."
L&M: With her sister Mrs Steward, she became a close friend of Pepys in the 1670's. Pepys is mistaken in calling her Betty Turner; she was the daughter of Nicholas Johnson, of London, who had married Sir William Turner's sister. Her first husband (Sir George Mordaunt, Bt) had died in 1665.
"He is much troubled that wines, laden by him in France before the late proclamation was out, cannot now be brought into England, which is so much to his and other merchants’ loss. "
L&M: A proclamation of 10 November had prohibited the import from France of all good ot manufactured of French origin: Steele, no. 3481.

Eddie and Dorothy Wise continue to live at the Deluxe Inn in the Rocky Mount area. As I write this today, they are on the property packing and removing all of their personal belongings. The Federal Marshals are giving them only one day to remove everything. One has to wonder how you pack up a lifetime in just a few hours. No time to sort or anything else.
Eddie has been frustrated that he cannot get in contact with Federal Marshals to get onto the property to get his personal belongings out of the house. Also, trying to find out what happened to his dogs.
When I spoke with Eddie on Wednesday (3/16/2016), and this has been true since their removal on January 20, 2016, he was still concerned about his dogs and what has happened to them. He feels really sure that they have been “put down” because it was over a week before the marshals office informed him that the dogs had been sent to the “pound.” Such an incident as this is stressful enough without the additional constant worry of what has happened to your “best friends,” your dogs “who certainly provide unconditional love,” Eddie said.
We did finally get in touch with Congressman G. K. Butterfields’ office and the congressman has offered to do what he can to assist the Wises, even in trying to help them find housing once they are ready.
Many people have come to the aide with suggestions and support. However, nothing, yet, has put any kind of stop or even slow down on this case. The farm is set to be sold at auction on Thursday, April 7, 2016. At this writing, I am not sure just where. We do know that there have been several “white folk,” Eddie’s terminology, that have been after the property for a very long time and Eddie believes that they are pushing so they can get the property.

In early 2015, USDA scientist, Dr. Jonathon Lundgren submitted his research on pesticides and pollinators to a peer-reviewed journal. In response, supervisors at the USDA suspended Dr. Lundgren under the pretense that has research had unearthed “sensitive information” that had not yet been approved for publication.
What could be so sensitive you ask? Dr. Lundgren had found that clothianidin, a neonicotinoid seed treatment (pesticide), kills monarch butterfly larvae in the laboratory.
It doesn’t sound that surprising, does it? Either that a crop treatment would adversely affect pollinators or that the USDA would be reluctant to publish the information. But it gets better.
It turns out that Dr. Lundgren is whistleblower, who in September 2014 had lodged a formal complaint against the USDA for serious alleged violations of the agency’s Scientific Integrity Policy, including attempts by senior officials to impede or deter Lundgren’s research. He believes– and we are inclined to believe him– that his 14-day suspension is a direct retaliation to that action and to the threat his research poses to big ag.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Agriculture Department has developed a new government certification and labeling for foods that are free of genetically modified ingredients.
USDA’s move comes as some consumer groups push for mandatory labeling of the genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
The certification is the first of its kind, would be voluntary — and companies would have to pay for it. If approved, the foods would be able to carry a “USDA Process Verified” label along with a claim that they are free of GMOs.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack outlined the new certification in a May 1 letter to USDA employees, saying it was being done at the request of a “leading global company,” which he did not identify. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press.
Companies can already put their own GMO-free labels on foods, but there are no government labels that only certify a food as GMO-free. Many companies use a private label developed by a nonprofit called the Non-GMO Project. The USDA organic label also certifies that foods are free of genetically modified ingredients, but many non-GMO foods aren’t organic. To read more, click HERE!

Thumbs.db files are generated by Windows when you enter a directory that contains images. Windows cache's a thumbnail of the image and stores the data in the Thumbs.db file, this saves the operating system having to look at the contents of the file everytime your enter the directory.
How do I stop them being created?
If you don’t mind waiting for a few seconds to see the image thumbnails when entering a directory of images, carrying out the following steps will stop your computer from generating Thumbs.db files.
The “Folder Options” window will open.
There, you are done! No more Thumbs.db will be created.
This is especially useful when working across multiple operating systems as Mac and Linux users will see Thumbs.db files but won't benefit from their creation. Much like Macs generating .DS_Store files (this will be covered in a blog post soon).

Tyga got a fresh new haircut recently, and it's a head-turner, for sure. The rapper debuted his new look on social media earlier this week, and it's tiger stripes. No, seriously — tiger stripes, criss-crossing all around his head. Because his name is Tyga. Get it?
Maybe he was inspired by Kylie and all her frequent hair changes? I don't know, but I'm a little perplexed, and I'm not the only one.
Are you a fan? At least he didn't go blonde (orange?) again, like last year.

Neymar broke the news that he was leaving Barcelona for Paris St-Germain at Lionel Messi's wedding, according to his former team-mate Xavi.
Neymar and Xavi, who played together for two years at Barcelona, attended Messi's wedding in July.
Xavi also told the BBC World Service he turned down Manchester United because Barcelona was his "favourite team".
Xavi revealed he held talks earlier in his career with then Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's brother Martin, who was a scout for the Premier League club.
He said: "Sometimes we were discussing with Manchester United and Alex Ferguson's brother to try and join me there. But I decided to stay in Barcelona because it's my club.
On Neymar's departure, Xavi told the World Football show: "He said to us at Messi's wedding that he wanted to change club.
"I said to him but why? He said 'I am not happy in Barcelona, I prefer to leave, to have a new experience in Europe at PSG and finally he did, it was his decision, we must respect it.

But …do they work? That is, does rewarding or promising to reward player behaviors with achievements, trophies, or badges actually get people to engage in those behavior more? Does it get them to play the game more? Has anyone ever actually studied that?
Well, yes. Sorta. I recently read an article in the journal Computers in Human Behavior by Juho Hamari entitled “Do Badges Increase User Activity? A Field Experiment on the Effects of Gamification.” 2 In it Hamari worked with the people behind www.sharetribe.com, a website that helps users find others to whom they can rent, sell, or share things like products, services, or physical spaces.
Sharetribe is very community focused, so it really wants users who log in regularly, participate in markets, and provide important information to other users. So the researcher wanted to see if adding achievements –in the form of badges displayed on user profiles– would help increase these kinds of user activities. To do that he conducted a field study of almost 3,000 actual website users. It was also longitudinal. About half the data covered users who registered up to 1 year before the badges were added to the site while the rest covered those who registered after badges were added.
A Sharetribe badge, which also doubled as nightmare fuel.
That’s cool (or disconcerting, depending on your perspective) but the part of the article that I actually found most interesting wasn’t the results. It was the section discussing the theoretical underpinnings of badges reasons why they might work. These reasons seem completely applicable to video games.
Let’s briefly drill down on each of those.
The anchoring effect happens when a high or low number out of the gate causes us to fixate on it and use it as a point of reference for considering how high (or low) other values are. Think of the classic “lowball” offer in negotiating the price of a car. A low number as the opening offer causes the seller to focus on that number instead of whatever price they previously had in mind. This often results in a lower final price paid.
Hearing that a goal (as set by an achievement) is possible for us and people like us makes us more likely to think that we’re capable of reaching it.ag casino4 This is a concept in psychology called self efficacy —belief in our own efficacy or ability to do something if we try. This is probably true to the extent that we think a goal is reasonable, as opposed to ridiculously difficult.
As Hamari notes based on previous research about goals, “the completion of goals leads to increased satisfaction, which in turn leads to increased performance within the same activities.”ag casino5. If we reach a goal and enjoy the boost in self efficacy that it creates, that feels good. And since we like doing things that make us feel good, we’re more likely to pursue similar achievements in the future to get the same reward.
When goals are specified in very specific terms explaining what you have to do and how many times you have to do it to reach them, it increases the chances that people will reach them.6 Achievements that specify “Kill 3,000 zombies” are much more likely to lock players in to shotgun the undead than just general instructions to kill zombies until the credits roll.
Not to overstate the obvious, but achievements often confer information about what is expected of players in the game. An achievement unlocked by finding all the secret areas or maximizing an NPC’s affinity rating tells the player that there ARE secret areas to be found and that the NPC affinity mechanic exists. Furthermore, if the achievement system is set up to indicate progress towards these goals, it tells players how much of the game’s possibility space they have explored.
Psychological flow is a state of mind characterized by engagement with an activity that’s in the sweet spot between effort and ability. We generally want flow and players are motivated to pursue it. Getting feedback on how well you’re doing the task (or if you’re doing it at all) and good, accurate, and timely feedback is critical to achieving flow. To the extent that achievements facilitate that kind of feedback and thus psychological flow, they will be motivating.
Social proof is a term often applied to situations where we look to the opinions and actions of those around us in order to answer questions or form opinions. It’s so powerful that it can cause us to disbelieve our own senses. It can also causes us to pursue activities if we think that other people are also engaging in those activities or pursuing those goals. Thus, if an achievement system tells us that everyone is completing a certain side quest or playing with a certain loadout, social proof will lead us to believe that it’s not only possible, but that it is in fact normal for all players to do the same.
Leon Festinger’s social comparison theory9 holds that we want objective information about our performance, and lacking that information (or a suitable context to evaluate it in) we will seek to compare ourselves to meaningful others. Viewing the achievements and badges earned by other players is a convenient way to do this kind of benchmarking. If I see that you earned an achievement, I am also motivated to try to the degree that I think that you and I are similar on attributes and skills necessary to do so.
So, again, credit goes to Juho Hamari for summarizing the points above. I hope more people take on the task of doing targeted research to expand our knowledge of how and when each of these factors works in practice.
1. For the sake of simplicity, I’m going to use the terms “badges,” “achievements,” and “trophies” interchangeably in this article. You know what I mean.

Always lovely to find out an article from you ?? .
Also, what about the guys doing actions for the rewards, but that do not like doing them? Like logging daily. I like to get points and stuff, but sometimes I keep doing stuff a long time, get burned out and only then notice that I never had fun doing that to begin with. Are the overall benefits balancing out those guys?
The idea that behaviour influences self-perception possibly comes into effect here? i.e. if my behaviour is logging in every day to comment, I will start to think of myself as a member of this community. And then maybe my behaviour will adjust to reflect what I want the community to be.
Upvotes on comments would also help influence the quality.
I like the quote you shared about how completing goals leads to some amount of satisfaction. Having awards or medallions to help clarify this accomplishment for the individual. I think these awards can provide employees or sport’s players to push themselves harder than before since they have something tangible that can remind them of what they’ve accomplished.

Back to vacation, and I promise I am nearly at the end of Paris food posts! But this post is about one of my favorite places we ate.
David Lebovitz recommended Breizh Cafe. Our Left Bank Tour guide told us the best crepes were at Breizh Cafe. And while we in Paris, Bon Appetit posted an Instagram story about a day in Paris and going to Breizh Cafe. I really, really wanted to try Breizh Cafe, even though I had heard the line was long. We made it our mission on a sunny Sunday to find and eat Breizh Cafe crepes (after visiting Luxembourg Gardens and the Pantheon). There are several locations in Paris. We went to the Rue de l'Odeon one. We got there between noon and 1 pm and were able to grab an outdoor table right away. Luckily, no waiting.
The menu has English translations, so that was nice. We both ordered tea and it came in these beautiful teapots.
I learned a lesson at our previous crepe experience: the egg could be served runny. I wondered, were all eggs on crepes served runny? Could it be cooked? Or would that brand me as the most horrible American tourist ever? We timidly asked our server how the egg was served. I guess we were not the first to ask because right away, before we got our question out, she said the egg could be runny or scrambled. Whew!
I ordered ham, cheese, and egg crepe. Look at that glorious butter melting in the corner. So good. I spread it all over and ate the entire crepe. Really good. And cooked egg.
SP chose a vegetable crepe with egg. There was asparagus, tomato, carrot, and I forget what else. He said it was delicious.
We shared a strawberry jam crepe for dessert. It, too, was delicious. The jam was so fresh and flavorful. Maybe it was from a jar, who knows, maybe things just taste better in Paris.
Our view while we sipped tea, ate crepes, and relaxed.
It was definitely worth it to seek out Breizh Cafe. The crepes are delicious and they will scramble the egg for people like me! They also are very nice to those of us with limited/terrible French. We would definitely go back.

Unglue.it is a crowdfunding platform for ebooks. It rewards authors and publishers for making their ebooks available to the world under Creative Commons licenses. According to Unglue.it’s website, to “unglue” is “to make it clearly legal for a digital book to be used, distributed, archived, and preserved by libraries.”Librarians should be paying attention to this.
After you’ve read up on how Unglue.it works, if you’re still wondering why you should support Unglue.it, then read on.
1. Unglued books are free to read and free to share, legally, for everyone, everywhere in the world. Unglue.it provides a means for book lovers everywhere to do good together.
2. Rights-holders can choose to be compensated in the amount that makes sense for them. The Unglue.it team works with rights-holders to decide on fair compensation for releasing a free, legal edition of their already-published books, under Creative Commons licensing. If and when pledges reach that threshold, then pledged funds are collected, rights holders get paid, and the unglued digital edition is made available.
3. Unglued ebooks are better than other ebooks. Imagine an ebook free of Digital Rights Management (DRM), which you can put on any device you want, in any format you want, and which you can legally copy and share with your friends and read online or off, without your reading activities being tracked. It sounds farfetched, doesn’t it? Unglue.it makes this scenario realistic.
4. The Unglue.it ebook model is starting to catch on—they’ve already “unglued” their first ebook. In June, Unglue.it announced their first successful campaign to unglue an ebook, Ruth Finnegan’s Oral Literature in Africa. Now Finnegan’s unglued ebook is available free of charge not only at the Internet Archive but also at Amazon!
6. The Unglue.it ebook model upholds the core values of librarianship. Unglue.it’s librarian, Andromeda Yelton, argues that current ebook models bring library values into tension and force librarians to choose which values to advance. While other options available to libraries threaten traditional values such as privacy, sharing, preservation, and access, the Unglue.it model offers an alternative that strengthens those values.
So how do you decide which Unglue.it campaign to support? Why not support the campaign to unglue a book for prospective librarians?

Keep your sewing box organised by sorting small items that would otherwise get mixed up, like buttons, into see-through plastic deli tubs or film canisters.
When replacing a button with four holes, sew each pair with a separate piece of thread. That way, if one side unravels, the other side will still hold the button in place.
Whenever you sew up a hem, oversew (as if you were going to fasten off) every 6 inches or so. That way, if the thread comes loose, the hem won’t fall down completely and you’ll only have a short section to re-sew.
The easiest way to replace old elastic is to cut it, attach one end of the new elastic to one end of the old elastic with a small safety pin or some firm stitches and pull the old elastic out, which will bring the new elastic in. Don’t forget to hold onto the end of the new elastic!
A small tear in clothing can be neatly repaired by applying iron-on interfacing or hemming strip on the wrong side.
Keep a small magnet in your sewing box to pick up spilt pins.
Keep safety pins together in your sewing basket by threading them onto a pipe-cleaner or piece of wire and twisting the ends together.
Alternatively, thread the bar of a large safety pin through the eyes of smaller ones.
If you run out of black cotton, run a length of cotton of another colour over the tip of a black permanent marker pen. Make sure it is completely dry before use though.
Collect the little sachets of spare buttons or trimmings that come with clothes all together in a box or jar in your sewing basket or drawer, so they are easy to find should you need them.

Regatta Day at Zwartkops. Sadly, the Zwartkops Yacht Club is no more and has amalgamated with the Algoa Bay Yacht Club.
Redhouse and Zwartkops became the rendezvous points for boating and yachting enthusiasts. In the early days Redhouse was the most popular place for regattas and races and much keen rivalry existed between the clubs of Ino, Zwartkops, Southern Cross and the River Clubs.

Project 365 2017 Week 42 Day 288 – 294. I’ve had a very hormonal week and the pictures this week are less than inspiring I’m afraid.
Monkey was desperate to show his Dad his new swimming skills so we headed off to our local pool in the morning. He was in his element and it was lovely to see him feeling so happy and confident in the water. Goodbye swimming aids, this boy can swim.
In the afternoon the menfolk headed to Abingdon for a model railway exhibition. I was going to go to Stowe to do my photography homework, but I wasn’t feeling great, or inspired to lug my tripod and filters around, so I vegged on the sofa instead. I’m most certainly perimenopausal and this week has been hard.
The sand had blown in from the Sahara causing the weirdest skies I think I’ve ever seen. We went from red, to pink and yellow, to really dark grey skies before blue skies reappeared late in the day. I think most people spent the day looking up.
I went to see Monkey in his school swimming lesson and he had another surprise up his sleeve. Halfway through his lesson his group started taking turns to jump in just below the 1.5m mark, tread water and then swim under the ropes to the section they’ve been swimming in. He did it again and again, without goggles too. I was so proud of him, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to jump in a pool, so I was in awe of my young man.
After school he had a Beavers hike and he needed his torch which meant he was rather excited. He even let me leave the hall before they were called into line. A first.
Technology and hormones got the better of me today. We’ve been having a few issues with the keypad on the laptop over the last week and on a day when I really needed to be working for 6 hours solid, it decided to die totally. I tried moving photo files over to my ancient laptop and working from that, but it wasn’t a good mix with a hormonal woman. Thankfully Daddy P came to the rescue a few hours later with a USB keyboard which will do the job for now. But I can see me having to work during half term to catch up as I seem to have so much to do at the moment. Stressed.
After school we had a Skype session with my parents who’ve just got back from Portugal and then Monkey spent time playing with his new Lightseekers game we’ve been reviewing.
My car was in for its MOT and major service for the day so I was housebound. Time to sort out my wardrobe, pack away the lightweight stuff and prepare for colder days ahead. I was quite impressed by the lack of blue really.
Monkey’s year group and Year Four are putting on a Tudor banquet for us all tomorrow and they are feeding us too. I volunteered Daddy P to provide the veg needed, and hadn’t quite realised how heavy it would be carrying it to school. My arms might not recover for a few days.
After school Monkey wanted to pick the remaining apples off our apple tree, that’s that done for another year. We had loads this year.
Thankfully the car passed its MOT and nothing alarming came out of the service other than the bill.
What a day! I dropped Monkey off at school, had a quick look in the hall at the Values folders the children had done before dashing off to college. I hadn’t had the chance to get my homework done so will have to free up some time over half term from somewhere.
From college I headed to a nearby conference looking at promoting healthy lifestyles in our town. The organisers had come across my post about the 5K Blue line walks Monkey and I have walked, and wanted me to talk about our experiences. I was going to be videoed and then asked questions in a larger group. I haven’t done anything remotely business like for exactly eight years and hated public speaking then too. I was as nervous as hell. The video session went better than expected, although I’ve to see the finished article yet! But I wasn’t expecting 70 odd professionals when I entered the main room. Luckily I saw the head of my son’s old pre-school and we had a chance to catch up. I survived my question time and was still shaking when I left. Hopefully I didn’t make too much of a fool of myself and maybe one person will remember the blog!
From there I headed straight to school for the Tudor banquet. We were treated to singing, dancing, and the paupers got vegetable stew whilst the rich people apparently enjoyed meat stew! All the children had painted someone from the Tudor period, I do feel a bit sorry for Monkey’s Katherine Parr! Then to class to look through his work so far this term. He’s very proud of his work, but boy does he need to work on his writing. It’s loads better than it was but his spelling is awful.
After school we drove into town so he could pick a present for his Dad’s birthday next week and I decided we needed an easy option for dinner, pizza!
I spent this morning on a press tour of the new John Lewis store in Oxford, which opens next Tuesday. I was there a month ago before any of the main fixtures were in place, now they are ready to open and it looks wonderful. There’s an Alice in Wonderland theme going through the store with little Alice doors and a treasure hunt for children to complete. So many nice little touches.
A quick dash back home to pick up Daddy P’s birthday present and a bargain from the Sainsburys toy sale which will be hidden away for Monkey’s Christmas present. Then it was time to pick Monkey up from school. His teacher came out to tell us there would be no homework or spellings to learn over half term – phew! Now let the fun begin.
The first day of half term and a quiet day planned for us. Storm Brian is having fun and staying indoors seems like the best option as places like Waddesdon Manor have closed today due to the weather.
We had a lazy morning before looking at our new SmartGlobe Explorer, learning about different places across the globe. It also opens out so you can look at the solar system too. Review soon. In our post we received another review item – the latest Diary of the Wimpy Kid DVD, so we’ve cosyed up on the sofa watching that, it’s had us both laughing.
Monday’s sky was so strange…You captured it well.
Hooray for no homework or spellings over half term. My girl still has her’s to do. Ugh!
Sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling great this week. The Tudor day sounds great fun and I love Monkey’s painting!
Sounds like a frustrating week. I too am having keyboard issues and have had to splash out on a new one. Hopefully here soon. Well done Monkey on diving under the water.
Good job on the swimming. We love Diary of the Wimpy Kid (and the second one) – it’s all N seems to be watching at the moment.
N is the same with spellings. He’s good at doing them in tests, but as part of writing, he just writes and doesn’t seem to connect and think about the words he knows and the rules that I’ve tried to teach him to help. Hopefully it’ll come in time.
the skies certainly were weird.
Great he is managing other skills in the water over and above the swimming,and how lovely he wants to show off his new found skills.

Abstract: Mimicking nature is a powerful approach for developing novel lipid-based devices for drug and vaccine delivery. In this review, biomimetic assemblies based on natural or synthetic lipids by themselves or associated to silica, latex or drug particles will be discussed. In water, self-assembly of lipid molecules into supramolecular structures is fairly well understood. However, their self-assembly on a solid surface or at an interface remains poorly understood. In certain cases, hydrophobic drug granules can be dispersed in aqueous solution via lipid adsorption surrounding the drug particles as nanocapsules. In other instances, hydrophobic drug molecules attach as monomers to borders of lipid bilayer fragments providing drug formulations that are effective in vivo at low drug-to-lipid-molar ratio. Cationic biomimetic particles offer suitable interfacial environment for adsorption, presentation and targeting of biomolecules in vivo. Thereby antigens can effectively be presented by tailored biomimetic particles for development of vaccines over a range of defined and controllable particle sizes. Biomolecular recognition between receptor and ligand can be reconstituted by means of receptor immobilization into supported lipidic bilayers allowing isolation and characterization of signal transduction steps.

The mesmerizing 2019 Buick Avista Tail Light High Resolution Images picture below, is other parts of 2019 Buick Avista written piece which is sorted within Buick, Buick Avista and published at April 26, 2018.
It looks like the stylish coupe principle will finally get in serial production next year as 2019 Buick Avista. 2 years earlier, this model had a best at the 2016 International Auto Show. When we take a look at this time distance, it is specific that this was among the biggest stars in Detroit those days. Many experts agreed that this was the most trendy American car in couple of decades, if not more. So, a serial production of this idea quickly ended up being a must.
Most current reports suggest that we are finally going to see its production variation, most likely already next year. We can just hope that the serial model will not be much various compared to this stupendously stylish principle. In terms of mechanics, things need to remain the same, including a 400-hp twin-turbo engine too. Expect brand-new coupe to get here somewhere in the next year.
Here is wanted knowledge on Buick, Buick Avista. We have the finest method for Buick, Buick Avista. Check it out for yourself! You can gather 2019 Buick Avista Tail Light High Resolution Images guide and look the latest 2019 Buick Avista.

You are not going to discover anything dudes, only a few orange skins and Concord ship blueprints in your hangar after having clicked 234324 times on your mouse !
I find your use of cynicism disturbing.
I only post here if EvE is offline. Which means my posts are never well timed.
"Volunteer" is just a nicer way of saying "slave". No thanks.
As someone with many hours, well over level 1000 and a 99.9% accuracy in stage 1 after playing this for half an hour and failing every time all I can say and advise is that CCP rethinks what it has done.
After being told that I did everything right except 2 samples in the tutorial I am now at 26.9% accuracy. I cannot spot ANY of the patterns I was asked to find in the tutorial except I get shown patterns I could not identify even when folding.
All my hard work in stage 1 seems to have been spat in my face and I hope that if I am not the only one CCP immediately rethinks the entire system.
I like to help but it seems stage 2 is currently not for me.
I'm a little dismayed by the number of missed transits in the calibration samples. "Analysis Failed" indeed. Unfortunately unlike the first Project Discovery there's no option to report questionable examples. Perhaps this is a feature that should be added.
Maybe you can spot the easy one, but did you miss the less obvious one.
Totally agree especially after todays update. I had an accuracy of 93% in finding exoplanets. But now the answers are completely random.
It's nealry impossible to hit a correct answer when following the instructions of the tutorial.
A question about design. Why were the light points connected with lines. Finding possible planets is unnecessarily difficult.
On the official site of Planet 9, only points can be seen. By connecting the points to the lines, a visual effect is generated that is too much visual. Currently, the graphical representation looks as if it were the DAX index of Volkswagen on the stock exchange.
Did you do the tutorial? It is relatively easy. One must try to find out if a light beam periodically weakens.
We don't have the same UI as live stream. It seems easier with it. Need a bigger one too.
any ideas on how the double xp gets triggered?
had 98% rating on stage 1 ... getting everything wrong here. I thought it was me being bad until I zoomed in all the way on one of the things I "failed". The yellow dots were not showing any indication of a transit, they were completely random and in a lot of cases were humps. Absolutely no signal in the noise. That's when I realized this thing is completely broken.
The overwhelming majority seems to belong to the third kind.
You know, i have a better idea. Why not just have a program like SETI@Home where you let those algorithms (who are much better at this than any of us) run on borrowed CPU time? Most people playing this game good gaming PC's with a lot of firepower, so it would be the perfect fit. You could pay some ISK for every some block of data done. Yes this would allow people to just mine ISK; however they are actively contributing computational power to science; a much more useful contribution if you ask me.
To date I have discovered 200 transits. Some are difficult and some are hard. I am currently level 54 with a 92% accuracy score. I have taken screenshots of nearly almost all successful analysis and some failed analysis.
Exo-Planet Search is a good past time for miners and station dwellers. I have over 50 Exo Planet skins and recently built the Pacifier.
There are hundreds of a thousands of snap shots that CoRot has taken of planets. Sometimes CoRot will same its frame rate at five minutes or 20 minutes. Within the twenty minute time period four snapshots of a sun have been taken compared to the single snapshot of twenty minutes. The data for the five minute snapshots would track a planetary transit much better than the 20 minute snapshot because the downtrend of the planet causing the dip in the light curve is more prevalent.
A planetary transit is basically like being in a PVP battle.
Five minute snapshot - A battleship launches barrage after barrage of missiles at another battleship that consistently reduces the 1st battleships shields creating a dip in the battleships shields that very noticeable.
Twenty minute snapshot - A battleship launches a barrage and then waits a minute to launch the second barrage at the 1st battleship. The damage to the shield of the first battleship is not as noticeable as the shields are recharged in between each attack.
So as you can see having miners and station dwellers using their time in between mining cycles and order placements does help the astronomers manage the data. Data management that would take years to sift through with the limited number of astronomers that astronomy actually has.

Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions are an ideal solution for longer, thicker, more beautiful-looking eyelashes. Designed to mimic your natural eyelashes, each Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extension is individually applied to a single eyelash, to give you the gorgeous, natural appearance you covet. Using a proprietary adhesive, Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions are only applied by a trained and certified Xtreme Lashes Lash Stylist. Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions are not traditional false eyelashes, eyelash flares or implants. Safe and comfortable to wear, Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions are never applied directly to your skin or eyelid. With routine touchups every two to four weeks, you can have amazing eyelashes indefinitely.
Prior to the application, our lash stylist will conduct a thorough consultation and provide you with the opportunity to help design your customized lash look. In addition, your stylist may ask questions about your health and lifestyle to ensure Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions are right for you.
During your Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extension application, you will recline comfortably in one of our tranquil treatment rooms with your eyes closed. The application of Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions is painless and wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating. Clients typically fall asleep then awaken to longer, thicker, darker and more voluminous lashes.
During the application of Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions, your stylist will isolate an individual natural lash, then our lash specialist will expertly bond one eyelash extension to one natural lash. This technique creates a seamless look and feel as if these eyelash extensions were your own.
There is no downtime associated with eyelash extensions. When properly applied and cared for, your eyelash extensions will last between four to six weeks. Please see the aftercare section on how to properly care for your eyelash extensions to maximize longevity. Below are post-care instructions to help you keep your lashes looking fabulous for as long as possible.
Do not get your eyelashes wet for the first two hours after application.
Do not use a spa, sauna or pool for the first 24 hours. The extensions need that time to properly bond.
ONLY use oil-free makeup remover. If your eyelashes are tangled or crossed over, use the Spoolie given to you during your appointment to gently brush them straight and put them in place. You can purchase a longer life coating to extend the wear of your lash extensions in between fills.
We recommend touch-up appointments every two to four weeks to maintain your new eyelash extensions.
If you want to add a little extra flutter to your lashes, lash extensions might be right for you! Call us now and schedule your free consultation.

Ottawa (/ˈɒtəwə/ ( listen), /-wɑː/; French pronunciation: [ɔtawa]) is the capital city of Canada. It stands on the south bank of the Ottawa River in the eastern portion of southern Ontario. Ottawa borders Gatineau, Quebec; the two form the core of the Ottawa–Gatineau census metropolitan area (CMA) and the National Capital Region (NCR). As of 2016, Ottawa had a city population of 964,743 and a metropolitan population of 1,323,783 making it the fourth-largest city and the fifth-largest CMA in Canada.
Founded in 1826 as Bytown, and incorporated as Ottawa in 1855, the city has evolved into the political centre of Canada. Its original boundaries were expanded through numerous annexations and were ultimately replaced by a new city incorporation and amalgamation in 2001 which significantly increased its land area. The city name "Ottawa" was chosen in reference to the Ottawa River, the name of which is derived from the Algonquin Odawa, meaning "to trade".
The architecture of Ottawa is most marked by the city's role as the national capital of Canada. This gives the city a number of monumental structures designed to represent the federal government and the nation. It also means that as a city dominated by government bureaucrats, much of its architecture tends to be formalistic and functional. However, the city is also marked by Romantic and Picturesque styles of architecture such as the Parliament Building's gothic revival architecture.
While the political capital, Ottawa has always been heavily influenced from the larger cities of Toronto and Montreal. This has held true in architecture, and over its history Ottawa has followed the prevailing architectural trends popular in Canada and North America. The city is thus a mix of different styles, varying considerably based on what era a building or neighbourhood was constructed in. While founded in the early nineteenth century, few buildings survive from that era and the vast majority of the city's structures date from the twentieth century. Much of the downtown was also greatly transformed in the 1960s and 1970s, and the swath of suburbs that surround the city also date from this period.

Many will suffer from the cuts to Medicaid. Many of those who purchase private coverage on the exchanges will suffer because of how the subsidies are restructured, based on age as opposed to income and the actual costs of insurance. The Kaiser Family Foundation has posted projections regarding this.
Obamacare allowed insurance companies to deduct only $500,000 of their executives’ pay as a business expense. The GOP bill would repeal that limitation, starting in 2018.
One excuse given by Republicans for repealing Obamacare is the increased cost of premiums. However, most people receive health care coverage through either government programs or employer programs, which have not had major increases in premiums. The individual market had frequent jumps in premiums, and that has continued, except under Obamacare most people receive subsidies to help cover this. As a consequence, only about three percent of the country is actually facing the increases in premiums which Republicans are using to justify their plan. In return, we receive more comprehensive coverage which cannot be denied based upon medical problems.
As one of the three percent who purchases health insurance without qualifying for subsidies, I certainly do not see the Republicans as doing me any favors. My premiums will be higher under the Republican plan than they are now, and the even bigger problem is that the plan may “threaten the stability of the individual market” per the Brookings report, possibly making it impossible to obtain coverage.
The White House has pulled ads to promote signing up for coverage under Obamacare, including ads already paid for. If the goal is to provide more affordable coverage, this is counterproductive. Younger, healthier people tend to put off signing up, and are among the last to enroll each year. Having more healthy people sign up for coverage leads to lower insurance premiums.
Of course if the goal is to call Obamacare a failure, then this was a smart move by Trump. The higher premiums are, the easier it is to criticize the plan.
What Donald Trump might not even understand is that the Affordable Care Act did not bring about insurance with high premiums, along with high deductibles and copays. Insurance on the individual market has always been like this for those of use who purchase our own insurance, as opposed to receiving insurance through employers or government plans. The difference is that, prior to Obamacare, people could purchase expensive, high deductible plans and then lose their coverage if they got sick. If they already had preexisting medical conditions, they would often be denied coverage, or have the reasons they need health care coverage be excluded from the plan. These problems no longer exist under the Affordable Care Act.
Republican lawmakers aired sharp concerns about their party’s quick push to repeal the Affordable Care Act inside a closed-door meeting Thursday, according to a recording of the session obtained by The Washington Post.
Although only 15% of PCPs want the ACA repealed, nearly three quarters (73.8%) favor making changes to the law. Physicians responded most favorably to policy proposals that might increase choice for consumers, such as creating a public option resembling Medicare to compete with private plans, providing tax credits to allow people who are eligible for Medicaid to purchase private health insurance, and increasing the use of health savings accounts. PCP Survey Responses Regarding Potential Health Reform.). Physicians responded most negatively to policies that would shift more costs to consumers through high-deductible health plans. Less than half were in favor of proposals to decrease insurance-market regulations (by allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines), require states to expand Medicaid, or expand Medicare to adults 55 to 64 years of age.

So, with the rumors of a controller based Fable IV spreading around the internets I thought I would complain about the game that we do know that is coming out: Fable: The Journey. Mr. Molyneux stated that there would be not melee combat for this kinect title because the “visuals and sounds” would not be enough. Wrong, sir! Wrong! This is a video game world and until you have a virtual reality chamber such as the “holodeck” in Star Trek, I’m afraid it will never be enough. The point of using the kinect is solely to use your body as a controller to give the player a deeper experience in the game than can be achieved with a controller. The kinect is nowhere near holodeck status and Molyneux should not treat it as such. Oh well, there’s no use crying over spilled milk, the deed is done and we shall see how using long range combat works in the game. However if I have to charge up a spell Peter Molyneux so help me I’ll…I’ll…do something about it!
Anyways, even if Journey is a flop Lionhead studios still has the chance to make up for it with the possible coming of Fable IV. Piece of advice Lionhead: Whatever you were thinking during Fable 2 and 3, throw those ideas out of the window. Kthxbai.

Suppose you have the following, what should be the bit width of c,d,e ? The interviewer said that the answers of my d & e were wrong. For e my answer was based on 3 as 2'b11 which would give a width of 18. What do you guys think ?
// The code is my interpretation of his question.
logic [?:0] c; // 17 wide ?
logic [?:0] d; // 18 wide ?
logic [?:0] e; // ??
c <= a*b; // I think c should be at least 8+9 bits wide ?
d <= a*b + 1'b1; // d should be atleast 17 (^) + 1 bits wide ?
e <= a*b + 3; // what does the 3 here mean ?
//In my 2-3 years of RTL experience I only saw people using the syntax 2'b11 or something like that.
//The interviewer was interested in what would verilog interpret the 3 as ? Is it hex by default ? 4'h3 ??
[9:0] is 10 bits wide, i.e. 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 which is 10 digits.
a*b +1'b1 will be 19 bits wide not 20, a*b will never be all 1's so adding a 1'b1 will never increase the result's bit width.
I've been using Verilog for ~20 years, so I've probably seen + used with practically every possible thing.
The integer math is the most annoying as it causes additional warnings in synthesis when it sees a 32-bit result being assigned to a smaller bit width variable. As long as you're willing to ignore those (I usually do) and can get through any reviews with those warnings in your synthesis report they aren't a problem.
ads-ee answer is correct. but damn, what a weird question to ask in an interview. knowing or not knowing this doesn't make you a good designer.
This looks like a fine interview question. especially if the job is for an engineer that will work on porting dsp algorithms to HW. The OP just managed to hit every off-by-one error possible.
The addition of an integer literal 3 could bring up the 32b (possible) conversion, but I would expect the smaller width answer to be accepted.
A weird question would be "y <= (x + 3) >> 1;" vs "y <= (x + 2'd3) >> 1;".
Sorry about this one, I posted this question in a hurry without checking the width of a & b in code. As it's a phone interview, the question was just multiply a 9 bit register & a 8 bit register - what's the outcome. So i just remembered my answer of 17. My apologies for writing a 9 bit reg as logic [9:0] a.
software implementation of the number of bits used by a long integer. Most software implementations consider it to be 32-bits, I can't think of any simulators/synthesis tools that consider an integer in Verilog to be anything other than 32-bits, e.g. 64-bits or 128-bits. If I remember correctly the LRM states the size of an integer has to be at least 32-bits.

And, having finished my books on British and German WW1 aircraft propellers, I often think of writing biographies on some of the early German aviation scientists, whose books I own: Professor Reissner of Aachen University, Professor Ludwig Prandtl, Helmut Hirth. And also of some of the many propeller makers; Lucien Chauviere, Heine, Wolff etc, but right now I an going out to photograph birds.
Chamfered offered by Dave is probably the best term in the Anglo-Saxon aviation litany for the shaping of the central bore-hole in the hubs of wooden propellers.
Bob, as a woodworker I reserve the use of "chamfer" to an angled bevel cut on the edge of a piece of wood. It is not rounded, but rather is a flat cut (or bevel) between two other flat surfaces.
If you look closely at the photo in a post above you'll notice that what we are agreeing is the intrados side of the hub is where the hub plate is attached to the hub shaft (with a "fillet") . It's labeled with an arrow pointing to an "R" which I believe refers to the "radius" of the quarter round bit used to shape the intrados edges of the center bore. The use of the word "chamfer" isn't offered by me. It was in the diagram on the side PM calls extrados. On that side of the construct a chamfer is used, I believe, to simply "ease the edge" to prevent splintering of the edge as the hub shaft is passed through the center bore. (One problem with splintering is that it removes the varnish protection and can allow water to seep into the wood.) On that side (PM's "extrados") the hub plate is not fixed to the hub but "floats" in and out to allow compression of the plate against the wood.
In both cases, the shaping of the edge of the center hole serves a purpose, but on the engine side it's to allow a space for the metal hub fillet and on the "nut" side of the hub it's simply to protect the edge from splintering. It stands to reason that the wooden hub is sculpted to reduce the amount of dead space between the wood and the metal, and I can see how a rounded edge on one side (intrados, closest to the engine) and a small chamfer (under the floating metal hub plate) would accomplish that.
I'm guessing that at some point the manufacturers realized that the chamfer cut on the "extrados" was overly technical and could just as easily be a rounded edge. That saves a step in the production process, and to my knowledge all modern propellers are constructed that way.
I think we should just credit PM with the application of the term "intrados" to indicate the side of the hub that attaches to the fixed plate on the metal hub, because as he points out that can be an important distinction in identification of a pusher vs. a tractor installation, at least on some of the early propellers.
In French, the extrados is the upper side of an aircraft wing (when the aircraft flies "normally"!) and the intrados the lower side.
The intrados could be flat or slightly curved, but the opposite way vs the extrados (chiselled?).
On the extrados surface, the pressure is less than the ambiant (static) pressure, because the path from the leading edge to the trailing edge is longer than a straight line, so the air speed is higher, thus the pressure is lower (Bernouilli).
On the intrados surface, the pressure is slightly higher than the ambiant pressure because the intrados plane has some positive incidence vs the path of the plane (the "AoA", Angle of Attack) and some dynamic pressure appears.
And it is why the plane flies: The wing is suctioned by its upper side and pushed up by its lower side (about 3/4 to 2/3 suctioned and 1/4 to 1/3 pushed up).
As a prop blade works like a wing, we use the same words: extrados for the curved face, which is always the forward side (vs direction of the plane), and intrados for the flat face, which is always the rear face (tractor and pusher props have the same face turned forward).
The metallic hubs for tractors and pushers are the same, but for tractors it is the "intrados" side which is against the engine and for pushers it is the "extrados" side which is against the engine. If only one of the end of the central hole is rounded, the side rounded allows to know if it is a pusher or a tractor prop.

here are the much-anticipated collections of the Ones to Watch winners!
AuCarre’s collection is inspired by feminine surrealism, thus we see aspects of both reality and fantasy merging together in their pieces.
Hand-drawn digital prints are feminine and bold as we see red and pink florals as well as patterns akin to silk scarves. Silhouettes straddle the line between architectural and romantic with tailored items and knitwear as well as lightweight draped garments.
Sporty and elegant, youthful and luxurious, AuCarre’s offering is a mix of antitheses which harmonise perfectly to create a thoroughly contemporary and dynamic collection.
Also worth noting: the shoes are so cute!!
Price on Request’s SS19 line takes us to the realm of clean silhouettes with oversized components and multiple layers. Their garments this season are all recycled/ environmentally-friendly and their ethos is always to create functional yet inventive clothing.
We see fitted tops and bottoms comprised of clashing prints and multiple fabrics as well as loose-fitting chaps attached to tailored trousers and shorts. The colour palette mainly consists of black with accents of bright orange, blue, and green. There’s also a rogue rainbow print!
The final designer, Nous Etudions, is perhaps the one most in line with my own aesthetic. Although minimalistic in style with mainly oversized and monochromatic clothing, the pieces are still innovative and interesting.
This season’s collection is entitled “Creatures of the Universe” and we can see cut outs of these words branding some of their outerwear. Colours range from pastels (the pink is beyond adorable) to brighter accents of blue, yellow, green and gold.
Wide lapels, ornamental ruching, and giant rectangular pockets all make an appearance this season but my favourite detail, if it can be called that, are the matching shoes!! They’re an intriguing mix between a ballet slipper and a loafer but they also just remind me of the little plastic bags you have to put on over your shoes at crime scenes? Words can’t express how much I love them and I honestly need a pink pair!
Nous Etudions‘ philosophy is also firmly one of sustainability and veganism and this season, they utilised new biotextiles in collaboration with Franco Nencini, one of which is developed from kombucha!

Violence against women is a men's issue.
If there was ever a moment to promote men's accountability, thanks to the women in the #MeToo movement, we now have it. Men are being held accountable through mainstream media coverage, through memes and social media, shaming, legal actions, and more.
Fresh to this public crisis, we see many men locked in their shame, unclear where to turn for solutions and opportunities for men, families and communities to change. The good news is that we are increasingly looking to change.
Please attend this special day-long event on Saturday, March 3 at East Vancouver's Raycam Community Centre. Join us to discuss our role in leading healthier lives and building healthier communities. Today is all about helping men (self-identified) change our behaviour. Honour your own path forward and make time for real change. Meet other men who have made changes in their lives.
If you aren't sure why men should be involved in ending male violence against women and children check out this Jackson Katz video.
This gathering is an experiment at filling in the huge gap in guys getting together to talk about our sh#t. We will build a welcoming large tent for this dialogue. Men (self-identified) are welcome to learn, reflect and act on our need to grow and change. We are providing a mix of inspiring keynote speakers in the morning with a dozen panelists in afternoon breakout sessions. There will also be time for informal conversation and eating together.
Keynote Speaker: Chris Huffine, Psy.D.
Chris is an inspiring and knowledgeable speaker, as well as a licensed psychologist who has worked with thousands of abusive men for the past 25 years. Chris is the Executive Director of Allies in Change in Portland, Oregon, and provides trainings around North America, and is an adjunct faculty member at Portland State University. He will have lots to say in a keynote talk on the social context of our violence, as well as in a breakout session on men's accountability.
This is primarily designed as a conference to initiate new discussions and reflection by men who are interested in deepening their understanding of this work. We will have opportunities to share together without fear of being policed on language or making sincere mistakes. We will have a range of knowledgeable speakers helping reflect a range of opinions and strategies and these men and women will share lessons learned from their lives, the streets, from the rez, from a broken immigration and justice system.
So this is not an academic conference on masculinities, but more of a concrete way for men to enter this conversation wherever they are at. There will be workshops for people who are deeply committed to this work already to help them with strategies, but for people more new to this work speakers and space to build your analysis on men's role in violence. A bit of both.
There will be workshops and panel discussions with most attendees being men. Some women will also be attending the event. There will be a "sanctuary room" for men-only who need time to talk with a counsellor or speak with another men confidentially.
Meet men that have overcome intergenerational trauma, foster homes and broken families, from an exploitative system, and from our failures. We will learn about the changes and self-criticisms these men have made to make their lives better for themselves and in some cases, for the people they hurt. These experiences will be shared. We will talk about male violence, consent, everyday sexism, community interventions, the power of mutual aid, and learning to do less talking + more action by men.
Men and older youth from any background, sexual orientation, are welcome to gather. The costs for this event are large, and while we have secured some funding, we need to ask people who have resources to pitch in. Registration is free or by donation for low-income men. And for waged men or agency or trade union-sponsored workers please contribute more. It's easy to register online or leave your name with Raycam frontdesk staff.
Take this day to prepare to improve yourself, your understandings, and make a commitment to your life, your family, community, work, faith, campus, or group!
Participating women: While this is primarily a day for men to get going on this work, we anticipate some women will be participating. We recognize the support we have received from women who operate support efforts to work with men who have been violent. Women should inquiry at stoppingVAW@gmail.com. Thank you.
