Witnesses say Israeli police used stun grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets against Palestinians.
Israeli security forces have entered al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem amid fresh clashes in the area.
Witnesses told Al Jazeera that Sunday's confrontation between Israeli forces and Palestinians began after officers entered the compound.
As of 7am GMT, hundreds of Palestinians had gathered outside the mosque to prevent Israeli police from going any further.
Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab, reporting from Jerusalem, said police forces used stun grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets against the Palestinians.
"It doesn't appear as if the clashes went far beyond the gate where police entered, nor are there reports of any injuries," he said.
Inside Story: Can Netanyahu change al-Aqsa's status quo?
"These confrontations at al-Aqsa Mosque come at a very tense time.
"Over the past several days, there have been frequent confrontations between Israeli security forces and Palestinian worshippers who go to the site."
Al-Aqsa Mosque is Islam's third holiest site after Saudi Arabia's Mecca and Medina.
In a statement to Al Jazeera, Asi Aharoni, Jerusalem police spokesperson, confirmed the reports of Sunday's clashes as "stone-throwing and fireworks [thrown] towards the police and border police in the Temple Mount by masked youth", the Israeli police said.
"The force pushed back the rioters using anti-riot means. The situation is under control."
Related: Who are the Mourabitoun of Al-Aqsa Mosque?
In recent days, during the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah, there were clashes which damaged parts of the mosque.
Efforts by Israeli police to allow Jewish activists to tour the courtyards of the mosque have stirred strong reactions from Palestinians, who fear Israel may change the rules for visiting the compound.
Sunday's violence also occurred just before the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, when many Jews visit Jerusalem.

Abercrombie & Fitch first announced its plans to close 180 stores by 2015 more than two years ago. In its most recent quarterly report, the company said it had closed 10 stores by November of last year and would close another 40 stores by the end of its fiscal year. This total does not include the 20 stand-alone Gilly Hicks brand stores, which the company also plans to shutter this year. Abercrombie & Fitch’s stock has struggled, posting one of the largest declines in the S&P 500 during 2013. To improve performance, the retailer is planning to shift marketing for its Abercrombie & Fitch to older shoppers while transforming its Hollister stores to a fast-fashion approach in line with H&M and Zara. A succession plan for CEO Mike Jeffries is also in the works. Last year, shareholders from Engaged Capital publicly campaigned for Jefferies’ dismissal, citing the retailer’s failure to adapt to fast-fashion, and Jeffries’ statements about excluding customers that he thought were too heavy for the brand.
Early last year, Barnes & Noble announced plans to shut a third of its stores over the next 10 years. As of this January, the company had already closed some 14 retail locations, dropping its store count to 663 from the 677 it had when the announcement was first made. Particularly painful for many book-lovers, the retailer chose to close its one-time flagship store in New York City this January. While cost-cutting has helped the company post profits, by some measures the company’s prognosis remains bleak. Book retail has increasingly shifted to online and e-books, dominated by Amazon.com. But while Amazon.com has noted strong sales of its Kindle e-reader, Barnes & Noble’s own e-reader, the Nook, has struggled. Revenue of the bookstore’s Nook division, which include hardware and digital sales, fell by more than 50% year-over-year, and the segment remains unprofitable.
Aeropostale is the in the midst of closing 40 to 50 stores in 2014, and plans to shutter some 175 stores in total over the next few years. The teen clothing retailer’s net income dropped to $34.92 million in 2013 from $229.5 million in 2010, and its EBITDA fell to $157.89 million last year from $435.45 million in 2010. Pressure from competitors such as Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch, as well as declining mall sales, has driven the company’s share price from $32.08 in 2010 to $7 as of March 2014. Private equity firm Hirzel acquired 6% of Aeropostale in November 2013. Currently, the company is rumored to be in talks with Barclays Plc. because it is seeking either additional financing or to be acquired. Aeropostale’s fast-fashion shipment model, which it took up last year, has largely been unsuccessful.
After J.C. Penney’s sales began to steadily decline, the company tasked Ron Johnson, formerly retail head at Apple, with reinventing the retailer’s pricing strategy, only to see sales, earnings, and cash flow fall off a cliff. After years of avoiding closing stores, the company has recently said it would be shuttering several locations. At the start of 2014, J.C. Penney announced 33 store closings, to be completed by May, leading to the loss of about 2,000 jobs. Some investors and pundits believe the company has not been aggressive enough in cutting stores. As of November, the company had 1,095 department stores, down only slightly from past years. Not all news has been bad for the retailer, which reported surprisingly strong earnings in February. Additionally, Standard & Poor’s recently upgraded the retailer’s credit outlook, although it noted changes will still be necessary to improve its credit long-term.

As a senior at the University of Iowa, Maddison Lange was involved in the Student Advancement Network, the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, Dance Marathon, the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and the Miss Iowa Scholarship Program.
After watching two family members struggle with substance abuse and witnessing the struggles the rest of her family went through, Maddison felt the need to join the battle to fight opioid abuse. Her passion to help educate children and families about the dangers of prescription medications resulted in her writing and publishing the children’s book Petunia and the Peculiar Candy. In this beautifully written and illustrated book Maddison tells a story about how attractive and innocent looking prescription drugs can be to children. The book is written in a style easy for young children to understand while sending a clear message to adults about the potential dangers we have in our medicine cabinets.
Petunia and the Peculiar Candy is Maddison’s third children’s book. She has previously published Petunia’s Winning Plan and Petunia Breaks Barriers.
She works closely with the Partnership and funnels 100% of the proceeds from Petunia and the Peculiar Candy to the Partnership to aid in their efforts to promote healthy families and safe communities by preventing substance abuse in Iowa.

Theologian and cardinal, born at Vitulano, 10 Feb., 1833; d. at Rome, 26 March, 1900. He entered the ecclesiastical seminary of Benevento when about eleven years of age, completed his classical, philosophical, and theological studies before his twenty-fourth year, and was ordained priest in Sept., 1855, a dispensation for defect of canonical age having been granted by Pius IX. For two years after his ordination he remained at Vitulano, attending to the duties of canon in the parish church, a position he held from his family. Resigning this office he entered the Society of Jesus, 4 Sept., 1857. On the expulsion of the Jesuits from Italy in 1860 he was sent to Fourvières, where after reviewing his theology for a year and making a public defense "de universa theologia", he taught dogmatic theology for three years, and moral theology for two. In the early autumn of 1867 he came to America and taught theology for two years to the members of the Society of Jesus at Georgetown University, Washington. On the opening of Woodstock College, Maryland, he was appointed prefect of studies and professor of dogmatic theology . While there he published four volumes: "De Religione et Ecclesia", "De Deo Creante", "De Gratia Christi", and "De virtutibus infusis", which went through several editions. In October, 1878, he was called to Rome by Leo XIII to fill the chair of theology at the Gregorian University left vacant by Father Franzeline's elevation to the cardinalate, and shortly afterwards, on the retirement of Father Kleutgen, was made prefect of studies. On 7 June, 1886, Leo XIII created Father Mazella a cardinal deacon. Ten years later he became cardinal priest. Not quite a year afterwards (18 April, 1897), at the express wish of the pope, he became cardinal bishop of Palestrina, to the government of which he applied himself with untiring energy. He was the first Jesuit on whom was bestowed the dignity of cardinal bishop. As cardinal he took an active part in the deliberations of a number of Congregations, was for several years the president of the Academy of St. Thomas, and, at various times, prefect of the Congregations of the Index, of Studies, and of Rites.

With sea levels rising, floods and droughts increasing, and glaciers in sharp retreat, India's tigers and her tiger reserves across the country face a new threat from destabilized climate regimes whose global scale is hard to even comprehend. The first tigers affected by this threat live in the 24 Parganas District in the Sundarbans, a mangrove forest so large that it sprawls from one country to another. In this oceanic forest, climate change is taking a severe toll. Extreme climatic events, rising salinity, increasing floods and tidal surges, plus a falling fish catch are forcing people into greater conflict with tigers. What used to be considered the world's most secure population of tigers now has uncertainty written into their future.
Nevertheless the swamps and forests of the Sundarbans (‘beautiful forest' in Bengali) are still largely impenetrable and they are home to a significant contiguous population of tigers. The number is possibly around 200 - 250 between both India and Bangladesh. It is notoriously difficult to estimate the tiger population in this habitat and some say the numbers are -- and possibly always were -- lower. But the National Tiger Conservation Authority, Wildlife Institute of India and the West Bengal Forest Department are combining strengths to implement the most ambitious tiger enumeration exercise ever.
Meanwhile, despite valiant attempts, the forest staff cannot possibly prevent snares from being set by unscrupulous gangs who profit from the sale of deer and wild boar meat to nearby markets. This impacts tigers causing them to stray towards human habitats in search of livestock. The good news is that the relationship between local communities and forest authorities (Tiger Reserve and Biosphere Reserve) has improved dramatically from a decade ago. Today when tigers stray, villagers send urgent messages to officials to rescue it (and them). In the bad old days, they would be beaten to death.
I was in the Sundarbans the same time as Jairam Ramesh, India's Environment and Forests Minister. This was the first time a Central Environment Minister had spent so much time here. He impressed the forest officers with his understanding of the problems they faced and has promised them an additional sum of Rs. 2.6 crores for their next budget. However, soon after his visit, news came in of his having approved plans to construct a nuclear reactor at over 1,000 times that cost just north of the Sundarbans. How that will affect the world's mangrove forest is anyone's guess. We also heard that almost 100 times the amount of money being given to protect tigers will be loaned to the Government of India to 'develop' the Sundarbans. This money will probably end up in the hands of developers whose interests conflict with tigers. And thereby hangs a tail... hopefully not the tigers'.
Mangrove forest is most productive type of forest. Exploitation of mangroves in Sunderban, this may be the sign of history repeating again. Mangroves in Mumbai have long history and so did the tigers. It is said that tigers ruled this part of earth till early decades of last century. Mangroves in Mumbai were affected by urbanization, reclamation, dumping of garbage and nuclear wastes. Nuclear project near Sunderban would be the great threat to the tiger population in deltas.

Sony Pictures Entertainment's movie 'Khali the Killer' is on release in the United States and, as is customary, a trailer has been uploaded to YouTube. However, on closer inspection, it appears that Sony uploaded the entire movie in error. Oops.
YouTube is without doubt one of the best places to watch video online. The site is packed with unique content, much of it produced by members of the public, but it’s also populated with plenty of commercial material.
YouTube’s interface obviously lends itself particularly well to the promotion of video content itself, such as movies and TV shows. To this end companies regularly upload teasers and other promotional material, including clips and trailers for upcoming films. Sony Pictures makes use of this feature but today managed to get it all wrong.
Sometime in the past few hours, somebody at Sony attempted to upload the ‘official red band trailer’ for its upcoming movie Khali the Killer.
“After deciding to retire, an East L.A. hit man decides to take one last job to help support his ailing grandmother’s end of life care. But everything falls apart, when he develops empathy for the targets of his hit, and he’s forced to make the toughest decision of his life,” the movie’s promo blurb reads.
The trailer, just 1h 29m long….wait….
We’ve picked a screenshot that doesn’t ruin the plot but as it clearly shows, this is no ordinary trailer. Weighing in at nearly 90 minutes it’s particularly long. In fact, it’s the entire movie – we checked.
When we started writing this article the movie had around 8,000 views. Just a few paragraphs later that had swelled to almost 11,000. However, while news may be traveling quickly, those numbers probably won’t reach epic levels anytime soon.
The movie has been out in other regions for some time already and if the 3.8 average reviews on iMDb are anything to go by, it’s a bit of a stinker.
There are, however, quite a few that suggest that the movie might benefit from the exposure, with a conspiracy theory thrown in here and there for good measure.
“Fact that they haven’t taken this down after 6 hours+. I don’t think it’s really ‘accidental’ but rather a smart marketing stunt. Internet is buzzing over a movie which otherwise wouldn’t have gotten this much attention on forums/social-media,” a YouTube user wrote.
Time will tell whether that’s really the case but if it’s not, Sony has a problem on its hands.

Bengaluru, March 12 (IANS) Coinciding with the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to India, an Indo-French Centre of Excellence (CoE) was inaugurated here on Monday to impart vocational training to engineers in electricity, automation and energy management.

My name is Joshua Johnston and I'm a Trusted Member and now the Samsung Gear VR Champion. Basically this means I own a Gear VR (actually three, technically; two white and one 2016 black version) and am here to answer questions and encourage discussion. I use my Note 5 for the Gear VR; debating if I want to upgrade to the S8 or wait for the Note 8 at this point.
I'll be checking in on this forum every day and will try to post something interesting or discussion-worthy as often as I can.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions you have; if I don't know the answer, I'll try to find it.
Where's your theme music? Every good hero's got to have theme music!
Firegold21 and krisguy like this.
LOL. I'll have to think on that.
Nice to know someone else has the premier mobile VR system.
Only other system I've got is Cardboard and I rarely use that. Despite the wealth of games and experiences on Cardboard, I find the Gear VR apps are so much better due to the better sensors that I generally don't bother with Cardboard. The only Cardboard apps I occasionally do are ones for my son; such as the ViewMaster ones or short one-off things like volcano walkthroughs or whatever.
I hope you get the S8 on release to see how it does!
I'd love to, but I'm on a family plan and I wasn't able to upgrade to the Note 7 (good thing, in retrospect) due to too many devices on the plan and not enough wiggle room for T-Mobile to feel okay with opening up more room. So it might still be that way by the time it becomes available. We'll see.
debating if I want to upgrade to the S8 or wait for the Note 8 at this point.
Hey @Firegold21! If i have any questions definitely be shooting some your way. With regards to your Note 5 debate. I would wait for the Galaxy Note 8. I think the wait will be worth it. Samsung's Galaxy S8 maybe look like the best Samsung can do, but i have a sneaky suspicion they have a trick card up their sleeve. No doubt the Galaxy S8 is jaw dropping fantastic but i don't know, have a good feeling about the Note 8.

The Stepper Vs. Servo motor debate is a very hot topic and you will find excellent arguments for both systems. In reality, both types of motors work extremely well when the CNC machine is properly designed.
Availability Stepper motors are readily available from a number of sources ensuring that we can purchase the motors and drivers in a timely basis minimizing back orders. Servo motors are harder to source and not as readily available.
Capabilities Stepper motors brake extremely well. Servo motors do not brake as well as stepper motors.
Cost Stepper motors are less expensive than servo motors with the same power rating. Servo motors are more expensive than stepper motors with the same power rating.
Capability Stepper motors provide excellent torque at lower speeds (rpm) allowing the motor to be connected directly to a lead screw, ball screw or rack & pinion drive. Servo motors operate better at high rpm and not so well at low rpm. In order to operate at normal feed rates when cutting a servo motor requires a gear reduction.
Efficiency Stepper motors consume more power and produce more heat and operate at about 70% efficiency. Servo motors are more efficient yielding between 80% and 90% under light loads.
Frame Size Stepper motors come in a variety of NEMA sizes; however, they do not come in as many frame sizes as servo motors in the large size motors. Servo motors are available in a wider range of sizes from smaller to large motors.
Heat Production Stepper motors draw current regardless of load. The excess power is dissipated as heat. Servo motors draw current proportional to the load resulting in low heat production.
Motor Life Stepper motors only have one wearing part (bearings) resulting in longer motor life. Servo motor brushes should be replaced every 2,000 hours or operation. Servo motors also have encoders that may need to be replaced periodically.
Noise Stepper motors produce a slight hum. Noise does not affect the performance but it is noticeable. Servo motors produce very little noise.
Overload Safety Stepper motors are highly unlikely to be damaged by mechanical overload. Servo motors may be damaged by a mechanical overload.
Power Range Stepper motors do not have as broad of power range as servo motors. Servo motors have a broad range of power ranges.
Power to Weight Ratio Stepper motors are less efficient than servo motors resulting in a smaller power to weight ratio. Servo motors have excellent power to weight ratio.
Reliability Stepper motors are extremely reliable in a wide range of environments. Servo motors are less reliable than stepper motors because of the encoder. The overall reliability or servo motors is also dependent upon the environment and how well the motor is protected.
Repeatability Stepper motors have very good repeatability with little or no tuning required. Servo motors have very good repeatability if setup correctly. Encoder quality can also affect repeatability.
Power & Torque Stepper motors do not have reserve power. Servo motors can produce up to 200% of the continuous power for short periods of time.
Resolution Stepper motors have a broad range of resolution when using drivers with micro-stepping capabilities. The resolution is determined by the driver. Servo motors also have a broad range of resolution which is determined by the encoder.
and Vibration Stepper motors vibrate slightly and may have resonance. Servo motors do not have vibration or resonance issues.
Setup Stepper motor setup is extremely easy. They are practically plug-and-play. Servo motors are more difficult to setup requiring tuning of the closed loop variable circuit (PID) to obtain correct motor function.
High Speed Stepper motors rapidly lose torque at 90% of their maximum rpm. Servo motors maintain their rated torque up to about 90% of their no load rpm.
Low Speed Stepper motors provide excellent torque at low rpm. Servo motors require low friction and gear reduction to maintain torque at low rpm.
Inertia Ratio Stepper motors do not accelerate loads as well as servo motors. Servo motors are very capable of accelerating loads.
Versatility Stepper motors are very versatile in their use for CNC applications. Because of their simplicity they are found in a very broad range of applications. Servo motors are also very versatile in their use for CNC applications but are not as cost effective or simple to setup and maintain.

Our thanks to every such environments where man is supposed to grow in peace and harmony, in love and in tranquility.
We pray in Thy Consciousness, oh Consciousness of all Consciousness, to be with us and bring love and tranquility, peace to every heart.
Today your beauty lies in the acceptance of the principle which doesn’t accept any principle. Become shelterless, let everything go.
Reduce yourself to nothingness. Work on your mind, and pressurize it down and down and down and down to the realization of nothingness.
I was; I was not. I am; I am not. I shall be; I shall be not. All is yours, glory is yours, nature is yours, surroundings are yours, the world is yours, I am yours. All to the Unknown; ever to the Unknown.
Levitate your consciousness to total nothingness. I was not, I am not, I shall be not. Do not let your mind betray you because your mind and your Soul must at this time unite together.

Fathers' Day: there are the fathers who support marriage equality.
Please share: The dads who are fighting for marriage equality.
One of the most important things about being a father is accepting your kids as they are, and teaching your kids to be accepting of others.
This is a video that highlights some high-profile fathers who are doing just that.
Magic Johnson, Artie Goldstein and Neil Patrick Harris are just some of the high-profile dads who are taking a stand for gay rights. Some are fathers who have gay children. Some are gay fathers who have children. But they all believe the same thing: gay or straight, everyone deserves to be happy and loved.
These are the fathers who support marriage equality.

5. Shutter release (recommended--I have the Vello Shutterboss, but you could get away with not using it if you don't have one, but you will only be able to do up to a 30 sec shutter speed).
1. First, know the word you want to spell and also realize that when you are facing the camera all the letters you will be spelling are backwards. For example, if you are spelling the letter "L" you will need to spell it like "_I"
2. Set up your camera on the tripod and have someone stand in front of the camera about 15-20 feet away (where you want to do the light painting) and frame your shot exactly the way you want it.
3. Shine a high powered flashlight on that person while having the camera in AUTO FOCUS. Also, turn the image stabilizer OFF whenever you are using a tripod so nothing inside the lens is moving when doing a long exposure as you don't want the pic to come out blurry).
4. *IMPORTANT* Focus the camera on the subject and then switch the camera to MANUAL FOCUS. That way when you hit the shutter button the camera isn't going to look for the focus because you already have the subject in focus.
6. Have everyone face the camera at the same distance you focused the camera on the subject, hit the shutter button (preferably either the shutter release or if you don't have one use the 3 second timer so the camera does not move AT ALL when you hit the button as ANY shake of the camera can make it blurry).
7. Then spell the word you want to spell all at the same time. For example, if you are spelling the letter "O" you shine the flashlight at the camera and go in a circular motion until the camera stops.
8. And remember to always have fun with the whole process as it might take 3-4 times or more before you get that one shot that is AWESOME, but it doesn't matter how many attempts it takes to get that "wow" shot as long as you get it!
I hope this tutorial helps you understand all the steps it takes to doing light painting and if you decide to go out and do it I'd LOVE to see the pic you get. Thanks for reading and if you found this helpful please feel free to share this blog post.

This past October, Friends Fiduciary joined with other investors and businesses in voicing our support for existing Ohio renewable energy standards. Most likely coming up for a vote this month, House Bill 114 would lower Ohio’s renewable energy portfolio standards from 22.5% to 17% by 2027, weaken standards for efficiency improvement and allow customers to opt out, weakening Ohio’s commitment to a transition to a low carbon economy. We were joined by companies with operations in Ohio who see the benefits of clean energy, including Ikea, Gap, Clif Bar, and Nestle.
As stated in the letter, “Clean energy standards help businesses cut energy costs, avoid the volatility of fossil fuel prices, and help us stay competitive. They also help us plan ahead and make sound investment decisions into the future.” Ohio’s renewable energy policies have swung back and forth over the past several years, making it “difficult for companies in our supply chain to plan for the future and invest in Ohio,” according to Elysa Hammond, VP of Environmental Stewardship at Clif Bar. HB 114 is the latest in a long line of attempts to roll back renewable energy standards in the state.
We see renewable energy standards as crucial to positioning Ohio for success in the transition to a low-carbon economy, and urge state legislators to consider the economic benefits of renewable energy standards before turning back the clock.

Here at Palmetto Carriage Works, the care and wellbeing of our animals is our top priority, which is why we insist on giving them so much time at the Doyle Family Farm.
Our morning routine at the farm consists of a 6:00 a.m. wake-up call and feeding time. At this time, we administer any medication that our animals may need and check up on them to make sure they are all feeling great. Though most days begin the same, if it happens to be a Thursday, then our animals have their hooves checked by the farrier before their day begins. If they are spending an off day at the farm, then they wander out to pasture where they will have access to hay and water all day long.
If the animals are going downtown to work, we then get them groomed, bathed and loaded on the trailer. They then make the 20-mile trek to Charleston, where they’re dropped off at the Big Red Barn. The Big Red Barn offers a much more structured environment for our animals, whereas they are free to roam and do as they please on the farm. We make sure that each of our animals gets a minimum 15-minute break in between each tour, and they work an average of only five hours each day. Our animals usually return to the farm around 6:00 p.m. and then dinner is served.
It is in our best interest at Palmetto Carriage Works to ensure that our animals are not overworked. Giving them extended vacation time ensures that they are healthy and ready to go when it’s time to work.

The Centers for Disease Control released new estimates for the numbers of overdose deaths experienced nationwide and in each state Thursday. The largest surges, percentage-wise, were in the southeastern state of North Carolina, up 22.5 percent, and the midwest farm state of Nebraska, up 33.3 percent. Because of its heroin-like effects, it is often abused and sold though illegal drug markets.
"States in the Western part of the USA have not seen the same kind of increases in drug overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids", she added, noting that it is more common to see psychostimulants such as methamphetamine involved in drug overdose deaths in states like Oregon, Nevada and Washington.
The CDC estimates around 72,000 people fatally overdosed.
New numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show drug overdose deaths continued to climb in 2017, in almost all states.
Deaths involving cocaine also shot up significantly, putting the stimulant on par with drugs like heroin and the category of natural opiates that includes painkillers like oxycodone and hydrocodone. Carfentanil is an analog of the synthetic opioid fentanyl.
The CDC's 2017 estimate is not a final count.
The lag time between death and when the data are available for analysis is longer for drug overdose deaths compared with other causes of death, the CDC says.
At the other end of the spectrum the plains states had some of the lowest death rates.
Last year, 64,000 died of drug overdoses, with 42,000 deaths related to opioids - including prescription pain pills, heroin and fentanyl. Previous year the Trump administration declared the epidemic a "public health emergency" but allocated no new funding for states to address the issue.
Deaths involving anti-anxiety medications Benzodiazepine mixed with opioids also increased. But pain patients and pain advocacy groups have lamented that the opioid epidemic being declared a national emergency has made it more hard to obtain the drugs they legitimately need to manage their severe pain, making the issue complicated. Carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl and 10,000 times stronger than morphine.

Don't forget July 1st is Canada Confederation Day similar to July 4th in the USA. Cheer for our brothers of the north!
Because I no longer live in Canada I just wish my Canadian friends and ex-family a Happy Canada Day. When there it is about like here.
No Why? What's special about the 4th of July? Isn't then when a bunch of terrorist immigrants stole a nation from the British Crown?
Do you have a holiday you celebrate in July? If so how do you celebrate it?
There are no people there, only weeds and trees. It used to be called "hobo jungle".
Will you please be safe this weekend?

In late 2009, Tomcat developers decided to wait until Tomcat 7 to implement forthcoming updates to the commons database connection pooling library DBCP designed to implement JDBC 4 support.
While DBCP 1.4, which offers this support, will still not be implemented until Tomcat 7's release in late summer 2010, Tomcat developers are now considering including DBCP 1.3 in Tomcat 6.0.27, the next version of the Tomcat 6 branch, which is expected for release in the near future.
DBCP 1.3, which was released in February of 2010, implements the same major changes and updates as DBCP, but does not include any of the JDBC 4 support features.
Improvements to the library include semantics updates for clarity, clarified JavaDocs for a number of methods, a new validationQueryTimeout parameter for more fine-grained validation control, support for XA interface configuration via a new XADataSource object, and changes to the connection closing behavior of Connection, Statement, PreparedStatement, CallableStatement, and ResultSet in compliance with their respective JavaDoc.
Also new in DBCP 1.3, the SQLNestedException element has been deprecated in favor of SQLException, in preparation for the implementation of standard Java exception chaining in DBCP 2.0.
Although at this time, there has been no further talk of implementing JDBC 4 in Tomcat 6, previous discussion indicates that users requiring support for version 4, which is optimized for use with JDK 1.6, will be able to download the Tomcat 7 DBCP libraries and use them with Tomcat 6.
For more information about the changes to Commons-DBCP, visit the project website.
When using mod_proxy, how can I make Tomcat log the client's IP address?

You'll find many wonderful sites by the Delaware River (75 family sites, three group sites and several areas for backcountry camping). Group site A is an open field. I prefer sites B and C because they're wooded.
The river is great for swimming, boating and fishing. If you like to hike, then visit Sunfish Pond, an unspoiled glacial lake. The Appalachian Trail also runs through the park.
Modern chemical toilets are near the group sites. Family campers can use flush toilets and hot showers. No pets.
Driving directions: Take Interstate 80 West to the last exit in New Jersey (Millbrook-Flatbrook). From the off ramp, drive north (go right; turning left would take you under the highway) for 3 miles. The park entrance is on the left.

There's an interesting conceit at the core of the thematically and visually murky sci-fi drama/psychological thriller "The Final Cut," starring Robin Williams in Oscar-luring, dour, pained mode instead of antic funnyman mode. Writer/director Omar Naim imagines a near-future world when brain implants can record all of a person's experiences for post-mortem playback. After death, high-tech memory morticians take the extracted implants and edit down the recollections of an entire life into a funeral-length feature that shows the departed in a favorable light. These embalmers of pre-recorded pasts are known as "cutters." Williams plays Alan Hakman, one of the top cutters in the business and a man plagued by memories of his own. The cutters are privy to any sordid secrets and criminal activities of their dead subjects, although a professional code decrees that ugly stuff is kept under wraps. Thus, a cutter as good as Hakman is sought out by families eager to hide the sins of their late loved ones. When Hakman learns too much about his most recent client, it sends him on a path toward career suicide, or worse. An under-developed romance between Hakman and a pleasant woman (the miscast Mira Sorvino) floats alongside the unaffecting main plot. "The Final Cut," with its life-as-a-biopic concept and its reflections on morality, privacy and mutable memory, is more intriguing than ... memorable. With James Caviezel.

We all know that water conservation is an issue. We’re well aware of the fact that there is a disconnect in terms of people valuing it the way they should. For those in the west, especially, it can appear to be a seemingly endless commodity, instead of the priceless necessity it is.
News stories bring it to light; for the last several years the crisis in Flint, Michigan has called attention to the issue of lead in drinking water, for example. But sometimes, even when we know there are issues, it can be easy not to pay attention to them if they don’t have a direct impact on our lives.
However, by making a concentrated effort to preserve, to conserve and encourage, and to lead by example, a difference can be made.
Obviously, the issue here is not maintaining a water supply for the earth’s population, the volume of water on the earth’s surface remains consistent. What doesn’t remain consistent is the amount of fresh, clean water — water that is uncontaminated and is safe for consumption by people and plants alike.
Understanding the significant amount of water needed is a crucial component that makes it clear why we need to navigate this topic carefully. The best place to make a difference is right where you are.
In your home, go through each room and both look for leaks and consider how you can conserve when you utilize that space and water.
In the bathroom: One of the most obvious, and yet most consistent forms of waste is the sheer amount of time the water is left running. Conserve by taking brief showers, and not letting the water run incessantly while brushing teeth, shaving, etc.
In terms of leaks, John Moore Services Senior Operations Manager Joe Bany says, “The number one place that water is wasted in the home is the toilet.” If your toilet is making a trickle or running sound all the time, it likely means there is an internal leak allowing water to run into the bowl around the clock.
In the kitchen: The same guidance applies to using the sink in the kitchen; make sure you’re not running the water unnecessarily. Don’t run water to defrost food. Don’t use more than required in the directions for a particular recipe, and use as little as possible when washing dishes.
Make sure to check under the sink and in the refrigerator/ice maker for leaks.
In the garden: The EPA asserts, “More than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year and ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day.” So head outside and look for dripping spouts and leaking sprinkler systems. Don’t let a week go by without verifying that everything is in good working condition.
Go Big: Sometimes, we have the chance to do more than routine maintenance. If you’re in the process of renovating, you’re in the perfect position to actively make changes to the space you call home.
If you are considering doing more than tightening a fixture on a pipe, there are financing options that will allow you to conserve in a more committed manner than ever before.
One of the conclusions of the aforementioned NASA study was that the Central Valley Aquifer in California has seen the most concerning amount of depletion of any in the United States. The growth in what is already the country’s most populous state, coupled with the massive amount of agriculture that relies on the aquifer has caused a serious reduction in the groundwater source.
You may not live in a place like central California or Flint, Michigan. But even if you’re far from locations who have made headlines due to their water issues, the thing to remember is that believing a certain location is immune to future issues is the type of thinking that creates issues in the first place. The key to creating a community of people who respect the water they have access to is to see it as a resource that can be depleted.
Find connections: Most communities have local conservation groups that welcome any and all to participate. Not only do most states and many cities have grassroots movements, there are also organizations that operate at a national level like the The Nature Conservancy.
In a lot of ways, the way you choose to connect relates to how you want to be involved. If you’re looking for a hands-on, face-to-face experience, you’re likely to most enjoy a local group. However, if you lack the time or desire for that, but not the funds, donating and becoming a member of group like The Nature Conservancy will work better for you.
Be a leader: Being a leader can look like a lot of different things. But the main connective tissue here is that leaders are comfortable taking the initiative. They’re willing to foster conversation and to provide the groundwork for action.
This could be virtual; a social media page or a blog, curated to educate and promote understanding. But, it could also be an individual who begins a conservation project, in this case, specifically aimed at creating sustainable water goals in their own community, or in one that needs the work done.
One doesn’t have to look far to see examples of farmers conserving while they work and authors using their platform to talk about water-laden habitat conservation.
For those who have a will, they will likely find a way, even if it’s something as simple as starting a Facebook page. Collectively, we’ve impacted the earth, and collectively, we can contribute to conserving the resources we do have. Ultimately, the effort begins as a personal desire. Beyond what you can do with your resources, there’s something to be said for the example that your effort will set in and of itself; you never know when the John Muir of tomorrow is watching.
Let us all recognize that love of wild nature, that we might see everything — from our bathroom leaks to what we tell our children — through its lens.
One source of water waste is running it to change from cold to hot. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? I now heat a small amount of dishwashing water on the stove. Adding cold to it brings up hot water for rinsing.

This Homeschool ART journey included a trip to the library where we learned how to make a cardboard gingerbread house that looks like the real thing with ginger/cinnamon paste recipe, and how to make royal icing gingerbread house paste. Enjoy!
Make a Cardboard Gingerbread House.
Jake, spent most of his time counting out gumdrops and planning the pattern for the roof. When he saw how Mommy filled in his gumdrop outline, he wanted to do the same. See his above? It's the one on the bottom left.
Mayhem spent her time fashioning hangers for a string of licorice lights (bottom right). She attached colored mini-marshmallows for the lights, but they didn't stick. She also made the back window with pretzels and cookie shutters.
The Royal Icing Glue was a big hit. It was the perfect recipe and dried quickly. Not one thing fell off after the icing set.
Jake had icing up to his elbows but refused to let me take a picture. He stayed messy until he completed his roof top design, marshmallow snowman, and pretzel and twizzler fire.
This is a Christmas miracle. If you're following the journey, you know he doesn't like to get his hands messy.
The complaints and self-inflicting criticisms were kept to a minimum. He didn't want his fire to have white on it. It was a while before it clicked that his carefully placed firewood would fall apart without the icing glue.
His fine motor skills are lacking as he has always focused on intelligence and his brain moves faster than his hands. Needless, to say, he was disappointed in the licorice roof decorations that he made.
Overall, we had a fabulous family time- even the Daddy helped. If you look closely, you'll see a waffle cone Christmas tree and a pretzel fence.
Mix equal parts ginger and cinnamon. Paint your house with a light coating of equal parts glue and water, then sprinkle ginger/cinnamon mixture on your cardboard pieces.
Tip: You can also cut out cardboard gingerbread men and make mock cookies following the above instructions.
For the house, you will need 4 rectangle panels of equal size, and 2 square panels the same height.
Attach them to a cardboard base covered with white paper. Once this step is complete, you can add cotton or spray snow to your landscape.
Then, let the fun begin by gluing candy decor everywhere with royal icing.
Insert the icing into a baggie, and cut off the bottom corner to make a piping tube.
We've done this with graham cracker squares in preschool classes that way everything is edible.

A Disaster Recovery Plan tends to refer to the process in which you resume business after a disastrous event, such as a tornado, terrorist attack, or a virus infection. Since most people like to be optimistic, business owners gravitate toward a Business Continuity Plan which encompasses challenges that business may experience on a more routine basis, like departure of key personnel, supply chain partner problems, or network outages. So in many cases they are used interchangeably, they both focus on making money during and after a crisis.

Autonomous vehicles are supporting mining industry operations around the world.
Global mining companies are adopting unmanned vehicle fleets to increase safety and boost efficiency while moving large quantities of materials. In November 2018, the Komatsu Front Runner autonomous haulage system (AHS), which allows the unmanned operation of ultra-class mining trucks, achieved a milestone: moving more than two billion tonnes of surface material in the copper, iron ore, and oil sands industries.
Since its first commercial deployment in 2008 at Codelco’s Gabriela Mistral copper mine in Chile and at Rio Tinto’s iron ore mine in Australia, the Komatsu AHS has experienced exponential growth in cumulative production, breaking the one billion-tonne mark in 2016 and the 1.5 billion-tonne mark in late 2017. This was accomplished with more than 130 autonomous trucks in operation to date.
At present, the Front Runner AHS operates around the clock, hauling copper, iron, and oil sands at seven sites on three continents. An additional 150 trucks will be deployed to the Canadian oil sands over the next seven years.
Also in November last year, Caterpillar reported that its mining trucks fitted with the Cat Command system had reached the one billion-tonne haulage milestone. Trucks equipped with Cat Command respond to shovel calls, move into position, haul materials to dump points, and report for maintenance, all without an operator on board.
Caterpillar has deployed Cat Command on some of its trucks that are used for mining operations.
Caterpillar deployed its first six commercial autonomous trucks in 2013, and its fleet has now grown to more than 150, with six different mining companies in Australia, South America, and North America using the vehicles. The current Cat autonomous truck fleet comprises Cat 793F, Cat 797F, and Cat 789D, with respective payloads of 227t, 363t, and 181t.
Mining companies worldwide – particularly those in Chile, Australia, and Canada – are making the transition from manned to unmanned truck fleets. Autonomous haul trucks are operated by a supervisory system and a central controller instead of a driver. They use pre-defined GPS courses to navigate haul roads and intersections, and to determine the locations, speeds, and directions of other vehicles. Implementing autonomous haulage means more material can be moved efficiently and safely, creating a direct increase in productivity.
UK-based metals and mining corporation Rio Tinto is the world’s largest owner and operator of AHS trucks, and has long been a proponent of using automation in the mining industry. At the beginning of 2018, Rio Tinto’s fleet of autonomous haul trucks achieved the milestone of moving one billion tonnes of material at its iron ore mine in Australia.
Mining sites, given their high vehicle utilisation rates, are ideal for testing new autonomous technology. The industry can reap the safety and productivity benefits of automation.
On average, each autonomous truck at Rio Tinto’s mine was estimated to have operated for 700 hours longer than conventional haul trucks during 2017, with 15% cuts in load and haul costs. No injuries have been caused by the automated haul trucks since their deployment. As a result, the pace of automation across Rio Tinto’s iron ore business is accelerating, and the company plans to increase its autonomous truck fleet from its current 80 units to more than 140 by the end of 2019.
Last year, Rio Tinto also deployed the first automated, heavy-haul, long-distance rail network in the world. The $940m Auto Haul programme is focused on automating trains transporting iron ore to Rio Tinto’s port facilities in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The average return distance of these trains is 800km, with the average journey cycle, including loading and dumping, taking 40 hours. Locomotives fitted with Auto Haul software feature on-board cameras that allow constant monitoring from the company’s operations centre. All public rail crossings on the network are also fitted with CCTV cameras.
Brazil-based metals and mining company Vale plans to operate its Brucutu mine exclusively with autonomous trucks in 2019. During six years of research and testing, seven trucks were used to transport iron ore from the mining front to the processing plant, alongside six other traditionally operated vehicles. Based on the data it has collected, Vale expects to increase its equipment lifespan by about 15% and reduce fuel consumption and maintenance costs by 10%.
Rio Tinto is exploring the use of smaller trucks for more flexibility in operations. The company is testing an autonomous transport system developed by Scania at its Dampier Salt operations in Western Australia. The first phase of the trial started in August 2018 and involves a Scania XT 8x4 autonomous tipper truck working separately from Dampier’s active operations.
During this initial stage, a safety driver rides in the vehicle to observe the truck’s performance and, if necessary, intervenes. In subsequent phases, additional autonomous Scania trucks will be added to develop vehicle-to-vehicle awareness and intelligent fleet supervisory controls.
Komatsu Front Runner has helped unmanned mining trucks move more than two billion tonnes of material.
The benefits of autonomous trucks can be enhanced by using wireless networks with high-availability, seamless mobility, world-class quality of service, and the ability to support multiple applications and services simultaneously. As a result, the industry is now moving away from less predictable wireless technologies and towards private, long-term evolution (LTE) networks that offer improved security, greater capacity, and better overall performance within a multi-application environment.
Komatsu’s Front Runner AHS was recently qualified to operate on private LTE mobile broadband technology. This is the mining industry’s first AHS enabled to run on private LTE in commercial operations.
The firm completed a year-long qualification programme at its proving grounds in Tucson, Arizona, testing the Front Runner AHS on Nokia’s Future X infrastructure.
The 10-year safety and productivity record of the Front Runner AHS in various mining environments has also driven Komatsu to accelerate the pace of its AHS deployment. The company is now working with industry stakeholders towards the standardisation of interoperability between Komatsu and other autonomous vehicles.
Elsewhere, Norway-based mining company Brønnøy Kalk AS is testing Volvo autonomous trucks to transport limestone from an open pit mine to a nearby port. The hub-to-hub concept for Brønnøy Kalk consists of limestone being transported by six autonomous Volvo FH trucks on a 5km stretch through tunnels between the mine itself and the crusher.
Going autonomous will greatly increase our competitiveness in a tough market.
The testing of this process was carried out during 2018, and it is expected to become fully operational by the end of this year.
Volvo's autonomous trucks are also helping mining firms.

The twin imperatives steering the flurry of recent museum transformations resemble a yoga technique: expand and relax. It has been a boom time for some while now, but growth tells only part of the story and increasingly, a smaller one. In their drive for more space and higher attendance figures, large art museums in America are being refashioned to strike a casual demeanor and achieve an integrated relationship to their urban surroundings. These are renovations of institutional philosophies as much as buildings.
The Whitney, relieved of its weighty uptown building—which the Met is leasing while replacing its own late-1980s modern wing—is diverting pedestrians from the High Line into its new downtown home, offering them art and even more elevated views from outdoor terraces. And MoMA is busy scrubbing hauteur off its chilly Yoshio Taniguchi–designed expansion, hiring Diller Scofidio + Renfro to expand galleries, improve circulation, and, in an effort to make more of the ground floor publically accessible, add unticketed exhibition space to a ballooning lobby.
The existing five-story stepped building posed space problems. In 2009, attendance and collection already swelling, the museum secured a century-long loan of postwar blue chips from Gap founders Doris and Donald Fisher (the Fisher collection now constitutes the bulk of the work on view). Botta’s imperious tone, too, was at odds with the institution’s softer message. If barely a decade or two ago the astringent rationalism of Botta (and, in a different way, Taniguchi) was to modern art museums the keeper of a high-middlebrow flame, the white-hot contemporary art market and the hordes of tourists flooding gentrified cities have them going casual, an effect that is especially pronounced in San Francisco, where the tech industry is reshaping the city around a mixture of innovation and inequality, and drawing international attention.
Snøhetta fits in comfortably here. More than a traditional architecture practice, the Oslo- and New York–based multinational resembles IDEO, the stalwart design and innovation consultant. In addition to architecture, it creates landscapes, interiors, brand design, and, soon, new banknotes for Norway. Part of Snøhetta’s success as a company lies in how well it mines the Scandinavia-meets–Silicon Valley ethos that undergirds large swathes of our present culture (a mostly affluent, white, American and European culture, granted). In its most caricatured instances, this is a culture of city dwellers who yearn for the outdoors; “disruptors” who work from Eames chairs and communal desks; digital craftspeople who spin bespoke wares. This is a culture that aspires to a lifestyle of purity and simplicity in every consumer choice, yet whose material expressions can be quite baroque (urban farms, rough-hewn farm tables in minimalist apartments).
On its website, Snøhetta describes its working methodology as the “simultaneous exploration of traditional handicraft and cutting edge digital technology.” On the facade of the SFMOMA addition, there is a similar kind of statement. If the view from the front of Botta’s brick structure is simply a cream-colored slab shaved off at slight angles along the top and side, the volume’s obverse is a bulbous form clad in over seven hundred unique fiberglass-reinforced polymer panels inspired, we are told, by the fog and waters of the San Francisco Bay. The ripples may have been generated by algorithms and carved by robots, but Snøhetta embedded the panels with a natural touch: silicate crystals from nearby Monterey Bay. The panels were fabricated by Kreysler & Associates, a Bay Area firm that grew out of the boat industry and has made numerous large-scale public sculptures for Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen (Pop art confections such as twenty-foot ice-cream cones and banana peels). Here Snøhetta has selected a more serious subject, but earnestness can inspire a kind of kitsch. Whereas the Oslo opera conflates an architectural element (sloped roof) and natural formation (glacier) to produce a new relationship between the public and the landscape, the facade arrests the ephemeral coastal atmosphere in a frothy simulacra the pallor of steamed almond milk. As an image, however, it has currency—a cunning triangulation of the local terroir (coastal environment, technology, and capital) that is globally recognizable.
If SFMOMA has a recent precedent it is less Guggenheim Bilbao than Tate Modern Turbine Hall, which did not inspire the growth of museum lobbies but dissolved them altogether: You step off the street and directly into a gallery. Snøhetta’s extension stretches a full city block from Minna Street to Howard Street, where there are two new entrances and a double-height street-level gallery with floor-to-ceiling glass—literally the clearest expression of the museum’s refashioned identity. Here, visitors are greeted by Richard Serra’s Sequence, 2006, a sculpture resting in an expanded field of pricey concessions and 45,000 square feet of unticketed gallery space. This space, which starts at Sequence, extends up amphitheater steps to a second-floor level containing a satellite museum store, education space, and a large Sol LeWitt wall drawing; then it turns ninety degrees (on axis with the original Third Street entrance) and continues, following a flight of stairs, into Botta’s atrium, a tall, oculus-topped square ringed by a museum store, restaurant, and auditorium (by 2017, two enormous paintings by Julie Mehretu will flank the atrium). What is most generous about this free gallery space, though, is the way in which it effectively creates a new route through the city block, enabling new connections with Yerba Buena Gardens, a public park sited between the museum and the convention center.
Yet despite the effectiveness of this continuous passage on an urban scale, an odd dynamic emerges between the two buildings themselves. The natural light, bright white walls, and openness to the street of the new building have sapped energy from the existing one—particularly the atrium, which is no longer the heart of the museum, as it was designed to be. The strong centrality and unadulterated symmetry of the Botta building make it intolerant of change. Remove one part—such as the black-granite staircase that originally soared up the atrium toward the oculus—and the whole space gets off kilter. In its stead are cheery new maple steps connecting the first and second floors. They leave the atrium feeling even more solemn, reacting to Botta’s formal bombast without reckoning with it. And this is the paradox: The binary mantras that informed the redesign—old SFMOMA is a bunker; new SFMOMA is light filled and open—have been crystallized rather than overcome.
While Snøhetta’s relationship to the Botta building wavers between begrudging deference and bald indifference on the exterior and ground floor, it transitions to neutralization on the gallery levels. The existing galleries—well-proportioned enfilades around the atrium—have been maintained, beginning on the second floor (accessible from the new ticketing area) and then on levels three, four, and five, where they merge with the addition (new galleries continue on floors six and seven of the extension). Here, seamlessness is the strategy: The floor levels are contiguous, and Botta’s material palette, white sheetrock and blond-maple flooring, lines a record-breaking expanse of exhibition space. With a combined 146,000 square feet of galleries, SFMOMA has—for the moment—the most display area of any museum in the US devoted to modern and contemporary art (MoMA is set to add 50,000 square feet to its existing 125,000 ). Functionally, Snøhetta has managed an efficient plan—not an insignificant feat considering the museum expects 1.4 million annual visitors following the reopening.
In the 2011 Times article presenting the design, Dykers asked, “Is it a building filled with art with some people in it, or a building filled with people with some art in it? There needs to be enough social space to make people feel comfortable in what can be an austere environment, the white box.” The subtle oppositions—of comfort and austerity, social space and gallery space, people and art—reinforce the schisms presented to large contemporary art museums today. As ground floors of museums mutate into free entertainment, with galleries reserved as premium content—the former following the logic of hospitality management and the latter clinging to standardized models—it is more urgent than ever for architects to define the connections between these two realms. This interstitial zone might be the last place where architects can still gain a foothold, and where museums—operating within an ecology with art fairs and “museum-quality” gallery shows—can set themselves apart.

Here is the topic where I made a 3d cube last year. It has links to videos, layout in xlights and setup in FPP.
Here is a portable sign I made for our Boy Scout Pack to use in Parades and various events.
When I saw the sign I immediately thought of Grayslake Il so I looked up area code 847 as seen on the van and sure enough that was it. I moved to Atlanta in 1990 from Naperville, IL.
Glad you have the panels working. Here is a short nothing fancy demo that I took to the Christmas Expo. The product pictures came out pretty good.
Yes, Jim. That is the correct Grayslake. We are actually in Hainesville which is the neighbor to Grayslake. That sign tends to get a lot of attention. The Cube I made was just a fun project.
Quick question on the Pi hat, can I use a Pi face RTC? I think I read somewhere that the pins used for the matrix are the pins for the RTC. I know on the Falcon F2 PiCAP (v1.00) there is a built in RTC, but the audio output is missing because of the use on the GPIO pins. Is this the case for the Pi Hat Matrix as well? Reason I ask is that with the BBB and Octoscroller portable items I made, the RTC is needed to run the program, without an RTC and no internet connection the time reverts back to something other then the current time.
I set my schedule to run from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 or something like that. As long as you have a schedule defined like that and the playlist set to repeat it will play as soon as you power on and the boot process finishes. When I'm done, I just turn the power off. I have a 10400 mah cell phone battery hooked up and it will drive the pi and the panels all day. I use it with my model railroad club during train shows.
Here is what the screens display. That is supposed to be the butterfly effect.
I think you have to configure as though it is a 6x2.
"That looks like a 64x64 panel and the back of it looks like it is actually two 64x32 panels. You should setup that as four 32x32 panels with two on the top row and two on the bottom. The two left/right on a row are connected internally as one 64x32 panel but FPP will see each "row" as two 32x32 panels side by side."
I only have two of the square type P5s, but here is my config below. My output 2 is not working which is why I am using 1 and 3.

You could call Terry Gilliam’s The Fisher King a mess and you would be right. But then that would be sort of par for the course for a Gilliam film, who is as much an over-reacher, over-imaginer, and over-everything-er as directors come. Restraint is not one of Gilliam’s strong suits, and thus his films aren’t for everyone. In the case of this film though, the overflow, the manic and mad approach to the film work effectively in bringing to life what is as close to a modern fairy tale as films come.
I’ve recently been reading Awake in the Dark: The Best of Roger Ebert (Ebert is the film critic that I want to write like, and reading his classic reviews has revealed a love for film that many snarky critics sadly lack. The book is great, and I got it for free when it was being given away as a digital download. Sadly though it’s DRM’d grrr and only reads on the Adobe desktop reader, can’t be read on my ebook reader) and one of the essays there is about how Tom Hanks became the most likable actor in America. It chronicles his rise from young comedian on Bosom Buddies to winning over the country with the string of films A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Philadelphia, and Forrest Gump. The essay ends at the height of Gump, but having witnessed Hanks’s career beyond we can all see that he remains likable, affable, and often lovable. Heck you can’t stop feeling the tears from your cheeks in those last moments of Saving Private Ryan.
450 Copies in Three Months! How awesome is that?
The first thing I have to do here is thank everyone who helped with The Kobayashi Maru of Love. The people who worked on it, the people who kept me working at it, the people who show up in the book, and the people who have bought it and read it and encouraged their friends to buy it and read it.

Mastered in a Minute: Consider codes and appliance requirements when installing tankless natural gas and propane water heaters.
Video Transcript: Tankless water heaters have some unique installation requirements that differ from standard water heaters. Here’s an overview.
When choosing a location, consider required clearances such as the space above, below, on each side, and in front of the unit. This information is available from every manufacturer.
The vent pipes can run either up through a roof or straight through a wall, and their lengths are limited by the manufacturer.
Other vent-clearance requirements include vent distance to windows, doors, eaves, other vent pipes, and the exterior grade level, which can vary by local code.
Tankless water heaters typically come with mounting hardware; in this case we’re using a supplied bracket that attaches directly to studs spaced 16 in. on center. If you can’t find solid backing, install a 3/4-in. plywood backer to ensure solid support.
Some models are designed to function with a 1/2-in. gas line in certain conditions, but many units require a 3/4-in. line to supply enough fuel to meet the heater’s demand, especially when it’s used in conjunction with other gas or propane appliances.
To provide enough water flow for multiple fixtures running at the same time, incoming cold and outgoing hot water lines need to be 3/4 in.
For power, gas-fed units only require a standard 120v electrical connection, and can be plugged into a standard, grounded outlet.
For more information, check out this article and PDF on How to Install a Tankless Water Heater.
Tankless water heaters are problematic. I've had several and they are trouble. Scale buildup is a problem. They need special servicing to keep them running. They don't last as long as a typical water heater. How about discussing these issues?
I have mine since 2004, Noritz, supplying hot water on demand to three bathrooms and a kitchen 120' away from the heater. The only problem which I experienced so far was a faulty circuit board controlling the maximum temperature (122deg) and preventing the soaking tub from overflowing. The replacement is $100. The maintenance is about once a year, I clean the interior filters on the mixer valve, it takes about 15 minutes to do. Easy peasy. I have another 11 year old on demand heater which heats water ans well as the hydronic floor system. No troubles or maintenance there..
Good idea. keep it up!

1:Combined all seasoning ingredients,water chestnut and minced meat together in a big bowl,mix well.
2:Dip hands wet before scoop the meat mixture with a spoon onto your palm,roll into a small ball,set aside on a plate.Continue until all done.
3:Heat oil in fryer or stock pot at medium high heat about 360 F.Place the balls in the hot oil.Do not over crowded the fryer or pot.Fry minced balls for 10 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
4:Remove fried minced ball from fryer,placed on paper towel to dried the excess oil.
5:Serve warm with your favorite chili sauce.
It's been awhile since I posted any new entry.No,I didn't abandon my beloved blog.Our summer vacation in Asia was over and now I have to go back to my daily routine.*crying* Since summer vacation until now I hardly cook at all until few days ago.All I do during our vacation was enjoying my mom's cooking or eating out.This petai dish is one of my mom delicious dish.
Petai or stink beans is one of the popular dish in Malaysia.Mostly people cooked this stink bean or petai in spicy shrimp paste sauce with shrimp but my mom cooked this delicious dish with anchovies instead of shrimp.All those year, I never try to eat this stink beans until few years back.Friends told me that this type of stink beans is good for health .Once tried,I think it's acceptable.I like the crunchiness of the beans texture if it's cooked right.My mom said when buy petai/stink beans,try to get the petai from local instead of Thailand's petai.Local petai taste better and have the lesser chance of worms living in the pods.
1:Heat wok at high heat with oil,kaffir lime leaves and chili paste.Use spatula to keep stirring the paste until fragrant,about 15 minutes.
2:Toss in slices onion and petai,cooked for 2-3 minutes.(do not over cooked petai)Keep petai crunchy.
3:Add in seasoning.Check the seasoning.Toss in fried anchovies and mix well.
4:Dish out and serve with steamed rice or noodles.

Update: The United States government shutdown ended after 35 days on January 25, 2019.
Nine departments of government are currently shuttered, and 800,000 federal workers have either been furloughed (forced to stay at home) or are working without pay. For government workers living with Type 1 diabetes, the shutdown has proven to have potentially devastating consequences.
Although the workers will be paid when the shutdown ends, that is of little help for people with bills due now. Stories have emerged of workers unable to afford basic necessities like food, power, and critical medications. One such employee is Mallory Lorge of River Falls, Wisconsin. Lorge, who lives with Type 1 diabetes, has been forced to ration her remaining insulin as she can not afford the $300 copay.
After her story attracted national attention, Mallory Lorge received insulin donations from the community and is no longer rationing her insulin.
This isn’t the first story to emerge about people with diabetes affected by the shutdown. Last week CNBC reported that a tax examiner for the IRS in Chicago has been unable to pick up his $200 insulin prescription. The government employee, referred to as Leo, went on to say that he has to save every penny, and will rely on his credit card if the shutdown persists. And these two workers aren’t alone. Thousands of GoFundMe pages have been created for government employees affected by the shutdown, many asking for money to cover medical expenses. As this shutdown continues, the number of people who cannot afford their medication is sure to grow.
For individuals with high out-of-pocket healthcare costs — like insulin — the timing of the shutdown couldn’t be worse. High deductible health plans reset deductibles on January 1, meaning many people are stuck paying list price for their monthly prescriptions at the pharmacy until their insurance plan’s deductible is met. For a month’s supply of insulin, this could range from $200 to upwards of $1000.
The high cost of insulin in the U.S. affects many non-government employees as well. A November 2018 study from Yale University found that 1 in 4 patients with diabetes at a clinic in the United States underused their prescribed insulin because of cost concerns.
Mounting pressure from patient advocates has led to some preliminary measures aimed at tackling high insulin costs in the US.
Last week, Representative Bobby Rush (D-Ill) introduced the “Insulin Access For All Act”, which would eliminate the cost-sharing requirement for patients on Medicare and Medicaid so more people living with diabetes have access to this life-saving medication. In December, United States FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. released a statement detailing a handful of new guidances designed to increase competition and bring down prices across the insulin market. The changes are slated to take effect in 2020.
As the days tick by, the negative ramifications of government employees going without a paycheck will continue to grow. For people with Type 1 diabetes who need insulin to stay alive, this has dangerous and serious consequences.

This plugin can measure RMS and peak of sound wave, do Fourier Transform, draw waveform, draw spectrogram.
All can be done separately for different channels.
Yes, that sounds almost like description of AudioLevel. See list of improvements below.
Plugin has lots of options, but if you only want to make something pretty, then you will probably be happy with default values, so it's actually very easy to use.
Can be found in the archive with binaries.
AudioLevel doesn't correct attack/decay values when sample rate changes.
AudioLevel doesn't do proper channel mapping. For example, it doesn't recognize 4.0 channel layout.
AudioLevel can't resample wave when sampling rate is high.
AudioLevel only allow you to declare one calculation of values for all channels. It doesn't allow you to define FFT for only one channel and RMS for one another.
RMS: AudioLevel doesn't have RMS. It calculates filtered squared wave value instead.
Peak: AudioLevel doesn't have Peak. It calculates filtered absolute wave value instead.
FFT: AudioLevel doesn't do proper normalization of the values. This leads to great change of values when size if changed. To be precise, FFT of size 16384 is 32 times bigger than FFT of size 16.
AudioLevel doesn't have cascaded FFT.
AudioLevel don't let you define relative size of the FFT, only absolute (this causes a big problems when sample rate of your sound card changes or when you want to distribute your skin).
AudioLevel doesn't correct zeroth value of the FFT.
Band: AudioLevel's Band feature always calculates sum of the FFT bins instead of average, which is not always desirable.
AudioLevel calculates bound using squared values of the FFT, which leads to incorrect filtering and (as far as I can tell) incorrect final values (they are much spikier than they need to be).
AudioLevel's Band doesn't blur values.
Plugin supports changing the majority of the options using !SetOption bang, but doesn't support DynamicVariables=1 because on each option change all values are reset!
Skin using this plugin should have low update interval. Best 16-17 ms. At most 100 ms. Otherwise some (or most) of sound values will be lost. It's a defense against too computations heavy options. I don't know yet how to make this more convenient.
1.1 — list of changes.

Question: How to set colors for bars? I know I can set the bar color in the 'bar' meters, but could not determine if your 'Colors:', as described in your documentation, is applicable?
In the ini format of 'KeyWord=Value', having 'Values' with equal signs in them looks 'muddy' to me when trying to learn the syntax.
Is it possible to use a different designation symbol? Perhaps | like for InlineSettings?
Looking forward to seeing what your hard work can do!
eclectic-tech, thank you for your feedback.
Spectrum analyzer doesn't use my plugin's graphics, there are only Bar meters. And, well, bar colors are kinda hardcoded. Although it has different name, but it was just second test skin, so I didn't bother to make it comfy to change.
Colors, that are described in first post, are only applicable to images that my plugin draws, and for now it draws only waveform and spectrogram.
P.S. Spectrum is a set or current values of frequencies — 1D, spectrogram is values change in time — 2D.
It sure possible to change symbol, but I'm not sure what will be better.
InlineSettings set one option at a time, so it uses | symbol to separate option name and option value.
My plugin is mush more like Shape meter: there are several my "options" in one Rainmeter option. Shape separates options by | and separates option name from option value by , while my plugin uses and = respectively. It makes sense to change my separation symbols to match those of Shape meter, but is it really needed?
There are already places in Rainmeter where you have to use = in the value of the option: in formulas, in String measures and meters. For example, it's perfectly valid to write Formula=1=SomeMeter in Calc measure.
key=value syntax, on the other hand, resembles Rainmeter options, so for me it's intuitive to use.
I'm not saying that I'm against changing my syntax, I just don't know what will be better.
I thought the answer would be to use a bar style, not a problem.
I think using separators similar to the Shape meter may reduce the 'learning curve' when setting parameters in your measures. But that is just my opinion.
Thank for all your work on this rtxd!
Plugin updated to version 1.1.
This version includes compatibility breaking changes, so plugin name was changes to "AudioAnalyzer_1_1" to prevent problems with existing skins.
BandAnalyzer removed, several handlers added to replace its funstions.
Add "RandomDuration" option to FFT.
Add check for reverse dependencies.
Add check for unused options.

It’s a new year, 2010; we’ve got ten years in already in the 2000’s. So Happy New Year, let’s hope it’s a good one, without any tears in the words of John Lennon. Actually though, from a faith perspective hope is an appropriate place for us to begin a new calendar year, maybe the only place to begin.
As 09 came to an end there were the usual end of the year look backs, highlights and lowlights, best of and worst of lists and with the end of a decade the same kind of thing was done with the first ten years of this new millennium. It can get a bit tiresome and much of it is just opinion anyway, opinion which passes for news these days, but looking back at a year or a decade is useful because it can help to remind us that it wasn’t all bad.
Despite the fact that many of the major news stories of the last ten years were bad, 9/11, Katrina and other natural disasters, war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, the collapse of the economy, despite all that, all of us can think of good things that have happened in our lives, births, weddings, graduations, celebrations, good books you’ve read, things you’ve enjoyed in the world of entertainment, vacations, trips, games or just plain old nice days, whatever the season, all of which is evidence that things still hold together, we continue to be blessed, life goes on. There is evil out there, but a reflective look back is a reminder that that’s not all there is and…that evil won’t prevail. We can and should begin the year in hope and the lessons for today certainly help us to set that tone.
In Jeremiah, the Lord says to sing aloud, raise shouts, proclaim and give praise because…there is hope. This is another of those prophetic texts that looks beyond judgment. As the people have been scattered, they will be gathered and this text attributes both actions to the Lord. There is a word of caution there to be sure with the suggestion that the Lord has limits, but the judgment in response to those limits is not final. There will be a gathering of what has been scattered.
Psalm 147 is a psalm that praises God for the good order of creation. Psalmists and other poets for thousands of years have found hope in the dependability and the wonder of creation, evidence that what God has created still works.
The prologue to John’s gospel is one of the most beautiful, hopeful texts in the entire Bible. It is dense with theology, the gist of which is that God cared enough about humanity to not just send messengers, but to finally become one of us and dwell here thus transforming humanity giving us the power to become children of God. There’s a lot of wonder and mystery in all that, but it represents the same kind of hope that Jeremiah proclaimed. This God will not leave humanity scattered and broken, separated from the love of God. There is hope. There is always hope and from God’s side, that’s a promise.
What I really want to focus on though is the text from Ephesians because what it does is similar in a way to what we do at the end of year or a decade in that it looks back on what God has done but it also looks to God’s future. It starts though with praise, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” and it is from that posture of praise that the rest of this passage should be read because in essence this is poetry, poetry that sings and offers praise rather than prose which discusses and analyzes. As focused as we Lutherans are on scripture and interpretation we can sometimes get too analytical, trying to figure everything out. Sometimes it is good to stop thinking so much and just offer praise.
You’re right; there is theological grist for the mill here, but not today. Today let’s stay with notion that the earliest Christians were not concerned with debating predestination vs. free will and choice. The early church celebrated the sovereignty, the power and majesty of God and that’s what’s going on here. The author of this letter, either Paul or one of his followers, is celebrating and praising God for caring enough about humanity to choose us and make us part of his plan, to provide us with a destiny we don’t deserve and would not otherwise have apart from the sovereign grace of God. These are hopeful words, hopeful words that look back on what God has done, so for today, let’s save the predestination debate for another time and just join in that praise.
The next set of verses offers praise for redemption through Jesus Christ and again it is not an argument about how that happens it is an affirmation of what is believed about redemption, most specifically the forgiveness it includes, the abundance of God’s grace that is revealed. What it really does is offer praise for what we believe about God, that by nature the God we worship is a forgiving God and that his forgiving grace is wide enough to include all of us. I need to know that. Again there are lots of theological questions that can come out of this and I don’t know if I understand all the questions or all the answers, but I believe in the grace and forgiveness of God as revealed in Jesus Christ and what a source of hope that is! It’s all I need to offer praise for what God is doing today and every day.
But there’s more. Looking back, there are reasons to praise God for what has been done. Looking at the present there are reasons to praise God for lots of things, but especially for the forgiveness we experience every day. But we can also look to the future and there’s more. We already participate in the promises of God but there is a completion, a fulfillment that has not happened yet. What this is, is God’s future, in which God will gather up all things in heaven and on earth, in the fullness of time. That’s the plan. Not a lot of detail; but that’s the plan of the God who has blessed, chosen, destined, lavished and made known. We have been promised an inheritance which is a source of hope, and ample reason for even more praise.
This is a good way to start the new year and the new decade. In terms of national and world news and church news the last ten years have been rough. There’s talk that we’re in the beginning of the end of the American empire, that this empire will fall like every other one has. That may or may not be true but as people of faith, whichever way it goes, we can still offer praise trusting that God is always at work, changing things, making things new.
There are also those who see the church in decline, headed in the wrong dierction and as far as the church as we know it goes, at least according to the numbers, it’s hard to argue with that. But again, I trust that God is at work, changing things, making things new. As a nation, as a church we don’t have to try and retreat to the past (which doesn’t work anyway) but like Jeremiah, like the author of Ephesians we can look to the future in hope and in praise, in expectation of something new.
The entire biblical narrative is an honest journey through the ups and downs of humanity’s relationship with God and there is a some that is upsetting and disturbing; but the downs, the judgment and the consequences are always followed by new chances, new possibilities and in the New Testament the Christian story doesn’t end with Good Friday, it finally culminates in the new life of the resurrection. With this as our sacred text we have no choice; we have to come back to hope and praise.
That’s where I choose to start 2010.

The world's second largest economy grew 6.6 percent in 2018, China's statistics bureau said on Monday - the slowest rate since 1990.
Data released on Monday showed Chinese economic growth slowing to 6.4% during the fourth quarter, the lowest in nearly a decade and the third quarter in a row of slowing growth.
The pace marked the fastest among the world's top five economies, noted Ning, adding that China contributed to almost 30 percent of the world's economic growth and remained the largest contributor to global growth.
With a long-term perspective to assess the country's economic performance, Liu Shijin, an economist with the China Development Research Foundation, expects the economy to enter a stage of stable medium-speed growth in 2020, saying it would last for at least 10 years. "China trade war escalates, should the temporary truce expire without any trade deal being struck", Rajiv Biswas of IHS Markit said in an email.
"With increased policy stimulus, we expect growth in China to bottom out in Q1-2019 at 6.3%, followed by a mild cyclical recovery in H2".
Investment in infrastructure has continued to expand after stagnating in September 2018, while industrial output data has also shown growth in construction activities, particularly in cement and glass output.
According to the new figures, Chinese economy achieved a 6.2 per cent industrial output growth past year, compared with 6.6 per cent in 2017.
He said that China's confidence comes from the "massive consumption power" at home, with a middle class of more than 400 million, and new drives from tech and other innovative industries amid an economic upgrade.
If you want to create mess (regarding the Chelsea transfer), I'm not the right person for you in this sense, ' Higuain said. Milan's 2-0 win at Genoa on Monday extended their unbeaten run to five games without Gonzalo Higuain .
The deteriorating situation in China, a market that businesses around the world rely upon for growth, is having a widespread impact.
"I must say that trade and economic disagreements do have an impact on the functioning of the economy, but this influence is generally under control", Ning said at a briefing, during which the country's economic results for 2018 were announced. Better educated young Chinese face more complicated but also more varied job prospects and are less inclined than their parents to marry and start a family.
He told reporters at the White House: "Things are going very well with China and with trade".
Employment remained stable, with more than 13 million new jobs created in urban areas a year ago and the surveyed urban unemployment rate standing at 4.9 percent in December.
China's more than US$13 trillion economy will likely stabilise in the second half of 2019 without the need for aggressive stimulus, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc chief economist Jan Hatzius.
More importantly, employment and wage growth are facing downward pressure this year.
Boateng only arrived at Sassuolo from Eintracht Frankfurt in July previous year , making 15 appearances for the club. Boateng becomes Barca's second signing this month, following the arrival of Jeison Murillo fro Valencia on loan.
Developing world currencies were subdued against a recovering dollar with Turkey's lira and South Africa's rand falling the most. Chinese stocks rose Friday on signs of possible progress in negotiations over Beijing's tariff war with Washington .
Revenue grew 27 percent to $4.19 billion in the fourth quarter, short of the $4.21 billion projected by Wall Street. For the first quarter, Netflix is forecasting earnings of Dollars 56 cents on revenue of USD 4.49 Billion.
Serena had coasted through in the first round, and saved 3 break points in the third as Halep seemed to be picking up. "I didn't. Serena Williams suffered an embarrassing gaffe before her game at with Simona Halep at the Australian Open .
Manchester United beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 at Old Trafford to make it seven wins from seven under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer . Rashford's fine solo goal made it 2-0 after Paul Pogba had scored his 10th of the season from the penalty spot.
According to The National Weather Service , a Winter Storm Watch is in effect from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. The second of two storms forecast to hit the region this weekend could drop more than 2 feet of snow on parts of MA on Sunday .
However, after when Osaka thought that everything was lost, she started to hit freely and to impose her heavy shots. Next, Svitolina will face Naomi Osaka from Japan. "I'm supposed to be good at starting matches", Osaka said.
That despite being agitated when the lights were turned and receiving a warning for bad language, he said , in the third set. Djokovic's victory means he is guaranteed to stay world number one when the new rankings are released after the tournament.
This will then be followed by cold and bright weather on Monday, with heavy rain, gales and some snow likely from Monday night. There could even be possible "thundersnow" as wintry showers hit northern and western areas of the country.

The sticking point in this shutdown is the more than $5 billion in border-wall funding that President Trump has requested. A news release from Bowser said 7,548 federal workers and contractors in DC have applied for the benefits.

ARSENE WENGER has sprung to the defence of Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, insisting speculation about his future is totally "disrespectful".
The Dutchman's job at Old Trafford is increasingly in danger following his side's renewed poor form but Arsenal manager Wenger believes the clamour for him to leave is most unfair.
It comes a week after Jose Mourinho lost his job at Chelsea with the Portuguese now linked with the job at United.
Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola also announced he will be leaving the German champions in the summer amid a potential move to Manchester City or Chelsea.

Certified by the Indian Organization: Siva Om School of Yoga, Registered Head Office 39/71 West Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi.
Born in Athens, Greece my first childhood memories include lots of dancing. Always being curious to explore my mental as well as physical limits, I never imagined that at the age of 26 Yoga would find and guide me to an endless journey of self-exploration. The gift of Yoga found me during a confusing period of my life. The system of Yoga made me realize that the most important guiding principle during our lives is balance. Balance and continuous effort to see the power that lies inside us. Having a diverse academic background, I never imagined that Yoga would provide me with more knowledge than any book I have read. My yoga journey initiated when I met Guru: Siddhartha Shiv Khanna ( योग गुरु सिद्धार्थ शिव खन्ना). Since then I am constantly studying new practices and training under my Guru’s guidance since yoga is a continuous, life-learning process.
achieve the ability to realize this universal consciousness."
Brief Class Description about my Traditional Yoga Class: Including Bhakti Yoga, Hatha yoga, Meditation, Pranayama. The purpose of Yoga is to achieve mental, physical and emotional balance. Through our yoga practice the main goal is to achieve a higher state of consciousness, by making first a strong and healthy body, and then conquering and becoming masters of our mind and soul. During my class I focus equally on physical and mental awareness. The class consists of a traditional authentic Indian Yoga experience, suitable for all age-groups and practicing levels (from beginners to advanced students) while adjusting each asan to individual students’ needs.

Has anyone connected iguana to redis?
We are using redis internally, allowing for loose coupling of our internal components. We would like to use Iguana to subscribe to redis data streams and manage the insertion of records into various iguana-aware channels.
I could try using a native lua client (https://github.com/nrk/redis-lua) but I thought I’d make sure there wasn’t a cleaner way to do it already.
This would be incredibly useful, bumping this post.
There are several strategies for connecting to Redis.
1) Set up a web service front end like a Webdis. Use Iguana’s HTTP APIs to interact through that service.
2) Import and adapt the Redis Lua client, which relies on LuaSocket. This will require you to compile an extension for LuaSocket. The caveat here is that external Lua libraries may not be optimized to work in Iguana. We have had customers getting this strategy to work, but I have no clear insight to offer over performance.
Integration with in-memory databases is on our radar. I hope that we can provide more guidance in the future for how to use them with Iguana, particularly Redis.

You'll notice that the cumin and coriander seeds are lightly crushed. Start with whole seeds and use a mortar and pestle to crush them. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, set the seeds on a cutting board and use the flat side of a large knife to gently, but firmly, press down on them.
Kasha, or roasted buckwheat groats, has a lovely nutty quality that frames the halibut well, but rice or another grain can be substituted.
In your wineglass, enjoy any refreshing, light-textured wine. Among whites, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Roussane, Riesling, and Chenin Blanc come to mind. Reds tend to be too rich, but a light-bodied Pinot Noir would make a fine choice. So would a dry rosé—technically a red wine that drinks more like a white.
In a medium saucepan, salt the water and bring to a boil. Add the kasha (buckwheat), cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, keep covered, and set aside. Just prior to serving, add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and gently fluff the kasha with a fork to mix well.
While the buckwheat is cooking, make the olive tapenade: In a medium bowl, use a wooden spoon to thoroughly mix the olives, garlic, cumin, and coriander seeds.
together over the fish steaks to cover them. Pinch or fold the sheets firmly together at the top to create a closed pocket.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. When done, the fish should be completely white and firm to the touch.
Set a mound of buckwheat on each plate. Unwrap the fish pockets and gently remove the contents, leaning each steak up against the buckwheat. Drizzle both the fish and the grain with juices remaining in the pockets. Garnish with cilantro and additional salt and pepper to taste.

Dying in an Amarillo hospice, a proud agnostic insists on being lucid to the end. Mr. Straughn, which is what the volunteer who tells his story always calls him, even savors his imminent demise. He sees it as a precious opportunity to experiment in communicating across dimensions: “He wanted to record how it feels to die, what it meant to enter what he called the end zone, so that his wife and daughter, and we – all of us – would be better prepared for it. He had no tolerance for fantasy or ‘pious piffle.’ He expected us to stay tuned, to pay full attention.” Soon commands full attention from readers who can never be sufficiently prepared for termination.
A. G. Mojtabai sets her collection of stories in a hospice very much like the one adjoining St. Anthony’s Hospital in Amarillo, where she spent several months as a volunteer and a literary spy. In the preface, Moj-tabai explains that the short fictions in her eighth book originated in speculation about the lives she watched depart. The volume’s title story derives from her fascination with the image of a woman combing her mother’s hair. “Last Things” was inspired by the sight of a woman propped up in bed racing to write what Mojtabai supposes were valedictory letters. “Nola” is an inventive attempt to explain why an orchid was pinned to the pillow of another patient.
Mustering what she calls “the courage to presume,” the author might seem merely presumptuous, a shameless plagiarist who plunders ailing acquaintances for the raw materials of her trade. But fiction is always an exercise in creative extrapolation. And, rejecting pious piffle, Mojtabai pays her expiring subjects the ultimate respect of observation and imagination. Like Mr. Straughn, she offers an experiment in announcing the final series of downs before the end zone.
Death in Venice has of course a distinguished literary pedigree (think not only of Thomas Mann’s novella, but also of where Robert Browning expired and Ezra Pound was buried), but death in Amarillo is as unacclaimed as life. “Houston, Dallas, even Austin, were charted, on the map of the land of the living – but Amarillo?” asks Michael, a gay man who quit West Texas for California yet returns home to die of AIDS. Cliff, who left his farmer father’s windswept land to run an advertising agency in Dallas, was taught by a twister at the age of eight “not to count on anything lasting, in this part of the inhabited world.” The Amarillo hospice in Soon is a very temporary habitation. Sooner rather than later, each of Mojtabai’s in-patients checks out.
The author herself has lasted in the Texas Panhandle more than sixteen years, since arriving on a Greyhound bus from her native New York City. Piqued by reports about the Roman Catholic bishop’s opposition to the local Pantex plant, which assembles nuclear weapons, Mojtabai (a Brooklyn Jew who acquired her Iranian surname from her former husband) came to write an article but stayed to create a book. Blessed Assurance: At Home with the Bomb in Amarillo (1986) was widely admired for its empathy with the Christian fundamentalists for whom the Pantex operation is a confirmation of apocalyptic convictions. The prospect of nuclear devastation encourages end-time thinking, and so, too, perhaps, does metropolitan Amarillo, where ten classic Cadillacs are half-buried in the ground at Stanley Marsh’s Cadillac Ranch. Mojtabai spends part of her year teaching at the University of Tulsa, but Amarillo, a mundane place save for offering the world’s highest concentration of helium, has become her unlikely base of operations.
The hospice setting provides a unifying device for the seventeen short stories that constitute Soon. Though mortality prevents many characters from reappearing from one story to the next, we do maintain continuing acquaintance with Cora Miller, whose husband Kenneth died in the hospice several years ago and who now serves as a volunteer among the terminally ill. After seventeen years of marriage, Louellen White, a licensed vocational nurse, is abandoned by her husband – “Hoping to forget her own hurt, she’d come to work at hospice, and here she was, plunged to her elbows, awash in sorrow.” For Olive Masters, the hospice housekeeper, the work is a refuge from seven children and a retired husband, and she performs her chores of turning over patients and emptying pans almost sacramentally. The hospice chaplain is Father Martin, an energetic man who replaces and snubs Father Arkady, who served as the institution’s first chaplain and is now dying in one of its beds.
The Death of Ivan Ilych is a daunting model for Mojtabai’s project, to illuminate existence by confronting its cessation. Like Tolstoy’s novella, the most vivid of her stories use a character’s final moments to measure what is being irretrievably lost. In “Greyhound,” Paul, a thirty-year-old vagabond, lies in his hospice bed stricken with cancer, but the focus of the story is his recollection of a brief encounter with Amber, a stranger barely half his age, during a long overnight bus journey through Missouri. In Paul’s redemptive remembrance of “how tenderly he’d held her all night through, loving for no reason, loving without taking, that such things are possible and do happen, however rarely, they do,” Mojtabai’s valediction is a benediction.
In “The Juniper Tree,” Cora finds herself watching over Marian, a precocious and emaciated eight-year-old, while the youngster’s mother attends to business outside the hospice. Given strict instructions not to distress the child with any allusions to her condition, Cora decides to read to her as a diversion from her dismal situation. Choosing a collection of fairy tales, she begins reading “The Juniper Tree,” before discovering, too late, that it is a gruesome yarn about an evil stepmother who beheads a little boy, then cooks him and serves him to his father for dinner. Instead of soothing the luckless little girl, Cora has inadvertently provided her with a graphic reminder of human misery. However, the hospice worker resolves to continue reading, since halting in the middle would only compound the horror; besides, if the story ended happily the effect might overcome the earlier shocks.
It is tempting to read Mojtabai’s “The Juniper Tree” as a parable about narrative art and a justification for the entire collection in which it appears. The stories in Soon are products of a writer’s need to see things through, even – especially – when those things are dreadful. We encounter Mojtabai’s characters – like Betty Loomis, the comatose woman in “I’m Still Here” – “straddling two worlds.” It is not they who need to be read to. It is those of us still eyeing the end zone from afar who feel compelled to read our condition clearly, before the page grows dark.

Most businesses are looking at cloud for all their Big Data analytics needs. They are remodeling their infrastructure to move faster and become more flexible. This is driving massive adoption of cloud storage and services across industries. Tableau is a leading BI tool that has always been the top choice for enterprises for their visualization needs. With BI on Big Data moving to the cloud, Tableau on the cloud is the most preferred option for most organizations.
Let’s discuss the challenges faced while using Tableau on the cloud for Big Data, and how you can leverage Kyvos’ capabilities to overcome those challenges and achieve instant analytics.
Tableau helps you create brilliant visualization for analytics. This works well with small data sets in the cloud, but when the volume of data increases, the query response times go up to minutes or hours instead of seconds.
As the number of dimensions and cardinalities increase, Tableau takes a long time to analyze and fetch query results irrespective of whether your Big Data platform is on-premise or in the cloud. This results in significant lag for dashboard refresh. When you dive deeper into your data, add more fields, formulae and schemas– it becomes even more complicated. Any business user looking at a dashboard to answer their business questions would expect it to load and respond quickly. In fact, most users expect instant responses. Business SLAs require queries to return in seconds irrespective of the size of data.
If you believe Tableau extracts is the solution, you should remember that it is not live data. It is a stale sample of your business data that you are viewing. Will you be able to make informed business decisions using this data?
Tableau generates and executes a SQL statement for every interaction on every visualization. This means, even if you use extracts, you won’t achieve the speed of thought analysis. While Big Data platforms are exceedingly flexible and scalable, running interactive queries directly on them entails long, slow batch processes and extremely complex code.
Creating a semantic layer between your Big Data platform and Tableau can reduce the query response times exponentially. Kyvos does exactly that. Tableau and Kyvos together form a powerhouse for fast and interactive business intelligence on Big Data. You can query trillions of rows of data from your Tableau on the cloud interface and get the response within seconds. No need to wait for days, and months to pull up reports.
Kyvos pre-calculates and caches all query results, enabling fast performance for queries used by Tableau visualizations and reports. With minimal degradation on high concurrency, it also allows you to make Big Data accessible to a large number of team members without adding any extra infrastructure.
Rather than having multiple systems for traditional and non-traditional data, Kyvos easily brings diverse data together and allows you to analyze your data directly without any complex ETL. Our platform removes the complexity of the Big Data platform and enables you to develop insights from all data, both structured and unstructured, regardless of size and granularity using simple, drag and drop interface.
Let us now see how Kyvos achieves this.
Kyvos creates a BI Consumption layer directly on your Big Data platform, enabling you to use Tableau on the cloud (and on-premise) at any scale for seamless access to Big Data. You can install Kyvos on your existing nodes, so there is no data movement or added infrastructure costs.
Further, you can install Kyvos on any cloud platform, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, and leverage Big Data storage platforms like Hadoop Distributed File System or Amazon S3.
You can also analyze your raw data and drill down to the lowest level of granularity, without using any external code or complex ETL processes.
Our proprietary OLAP on Big Data technology eliminates all performance challenges that come with Big Data. This ensures you can enjoy the speed and interactivity of OLAP combined with the scalability and flexibility of the Big Data platforms – all this with Tableau’s brilliant visualizations.
Kyvos comes with MOLAP, ROLAP, and HOLAP capabilities. This allows you to process data at any scale, granularity or complexity. You can then connect to your existing Tableau on the cloud to provide open connectivity and easy integration. With Kyvos connector already built into Tableau, you can connect to your data in just a few clicks. Query, slice and dice, drill down, and explore data in Tableau dashboards with sub-second response times. Kyvos also supports Open API and Library Connectivity using SQL or MDX queries, full JAVA, and REST APIs, or existing libraries like OLAP4j or Python’s olap.xmla.
The Kyvos BI Server pre-aggregates data into multidimensional cubes directly on the Big Data platform in the cloud, without any data movement. These multi-dimensional cubes store data in the most granular form supporting deep Big Data analytics across many dimensions with interactive response times. The Kyvos cubes are distributed across multiple nodes on the Big Data platform, providing linear scalability. These cubes can be stored on the cloud, making it possible to quickly scale up and build huge cubes while still providing instant response to queries.
Kyvos’ intelligent resource monitor makes recommendations to optimize your resource usage. As we are a self-service analytical tool, you can get answers to all your business queries, without the tedious work of creating hundreds of reports. Once you have built a cube with all the dimensions and measures that you want to analyze, you can fetch answers directly from these cubes for all your BI on Big Data needs. You can also build multiple cubes, that store data to the lowest granularity level and serve most queries within seconds.
Instead of getting rid of the granular level of detail that would ordinarily be summarized or aggregated in a traditional OLAP setup, use Kyvos to build a specific dimension for each column or field, whether it’s an individual customer or a particular product.
Kyvos has an intelligent caching mechanism with features such as cache auto-population, purge, and repopulation that reduce query response times considerably. Caches are used extensively throughout Kyvos to deliver results at unparalleled speeds. The advanced caching mechanism not only ensures high performance but also optimizes the consumption of vital resources.
The caching service enhances performance by reducing the number of trips to the cubes or other external sources for fetching results. Besides this, it also ensures that resources are shared between processes, whenever possible, enabling efficient utilization of resources.
So, when you use your Tableau on cloud interface for any Big Data questions, the dashboards are refreshed at superfast speeds.
Whenever you think about creating a semantic layer between your data and analytics tool, the first thing that comes to mind is – security. Business data is highly confidential, and any breaches or leaks may have significant legal and financial implications.
To ensure security and confidentiality of your data, Kyvos provides row and column level security, giving the users access to only those data fields that are relevant to them. It also enables integration with enterprise security infrastructures, so organizations are confident that their data is secure. You can easily import users from your organization’s active directory into Kyvos and be assured of access control.
Kyvos also supports enterprise-grade security including single sign-on authentication along with role-based access control till the lowest granular level.
Revolutionize your analytics using Tableau’s powerful visualizations with Kyvos’ capability to deliver quick results and unlimited scalability on Big Data.
To learn how Kyvos delivers instant insights with Tableau on Cloud for Big Data, request a demo now.
You can also watch our video where our customer, Walgreens, describes how they use Kyvos and Tableau to analyze two years of historical data instantly and interactively to get deeper insights into their supply chain.
