Best known as the composer of Candide and West Side Story, Leonard Bernstein had an immensely versatile career. Born on August 25, 1918, Bernstein’s career spanned decades, leaving a lasting impression through his work as a conductor, composer, and music educator.
Here are some facts you may not know about this legendary conductor.
- His parents, Samuel Bernstein and Jennie Resnick, were Russian Jewish immigrants. His father worked in the barber and beauty supply business.
- He was born Louis, after a deceased grandfather, although his family always called him Leonard. He legally changed his name at 16.
- Although hired as only an assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, he substituted at the last moment for a concert that was broadcast nationally and became famous within 18 months of being hired.
- Bernstein led a tour with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra during the Israeli War for Independence, making him very popular in Israel.
- Bernstein was the youngest music director ever of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra when he was named to the position in 1958.
- While mostly too busy for academia, Bernstein did teach briefly at Brandeis University from 1951-1954, inspired by his mentor Serge Koussevitzky.
- As a composer, Bernstein is perhaps most known for his theatrical works, which include five Broadway scores, three ballets, two operas, incidental music for two plays, the “theater piece” Mass, and a film score.
- Bernstein worked on the scores of Candide and West Side Story—two of his crowning achievements—simultaneously, with the shows opening about nine months apart.
- Mass (1971) was commissioned by Jacqueline Kennedy for the dedication of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. A young lyricist Stephen Schwartz, a client of Bernstein’s sister, helped write the English texts and devise the work’s plot.
- Bernstein was interested in politics, lending his name to many left-wing groups early in his career, causing the FBI to amass a huge file on him over the decades.

Running along the river
Monday
No training. I took a car to Vienna, then a flight to Brussels and finally a flight from Brussels to Toulouse. I had dinner in the hotel with colleagues.
Tuesday
Meetings at one of the biggest employers in the city of Toulouse. I work for a supplier to this company and on Tuesday we had a big meeting attended by our vice presidents and those of our customer. We from engineering got to present. I presented my stuff and all was good. Between the meetings and the business dinner, I found some time to go for a run. I had never run from this hotel but by intuition I found a nice river, the Touch as it’s called, and ran 30 minutes along it, then 30 minutes back.
The weather is perfect here in Toulouse, 25 degrees C and fair. The path along the river was nice and shady and ther were many other runners.
Some GPS problems in the beginning make this run look a bit longer than it really was.
Wednesday
Today, I found time between two meetings and did the same run. The only difference was that instead of crossing at a small bridge I stayed on the left bank. That was a mistake, because the path turned to the right and I ended up running on the streets for a few kilometers. Eventually found my way back to the river, followed it for a while and then turned back.
Tomorrow, I will fly to Brussels. I am planning to find some time in the afternoon or early evening for a swim. Need to find a suitable pool.

The NFL owners’ overwhelming approval of the Oakland Raiders’ move to Las Vegas “jolted” John Madden.
The Raiders’ Hall-of-Fame coach is still reeling from the pending move. He doesn’t like any part of it, from the hole that it leaves behind on Oakland’s sporting landscape to the challenges visiting teams will face when they take on the Raiders in Las Vegas.
‘I would hate to be a coach to take a team in there’
“I didn’t think that that would happen and when they got a vote of 31-1, I was really shocked and I was surprised not only that it happened, but how quickly that it happened,” Madden told Howard Balzer, Joe Horrigan and James Lofton on Hall of Fame Radio. “And I’m not sure that they have that whole deal together yet. I’m not sure that they even know exactly what this stadium is — how many (seats it has), where it’s going to be and all those things.
.”
‘It really gets you because of the finality of it’
Moving is nothing new for the Raiders. They’ve gone from Oakland to Los Angeles and back to Oakland. But this move has an entirely

different feel.
“It really gets you because of the finality of it,” Madden said. “When they moved before (to Los Angeles), that was after I got out and I was in broadcasting and I wasn’t that much of a part of it, but we had a stadium in Oakland that was relevant. And so, ‘OK, Oakland may lose the Raiders, but we’ll get another team,’ because that was the way it was working back then.
‘There’ll be no more Oakland Raiders, there’ll be no more history of the Oakland Raiders’
.”

Any WordPress is experiencing.
That means the XSS payload is never sent to the server side and is executed directly at the browser. So even someone using our WAF, can be vulnerable since it never gets a chance to see it. In this case, we were able to virtually patch the exploit, but DOM-based XSS are very tricky to block.
DOM-based XSS are also a bit harder to exploit, since it requires some level of social engineering to get someone to click on the exploit link. However, once they manage to do that, it provides the same level of access as other types of XSS attacks (reflected or stored).
0-Days in the Wild.
Remove the genericons/example.html file
Fortunately, the fix for this one is pretty straight forward. Remove the unnecessary genericons/example.html file or make sure you have a WAF or IDS that is blocking access to it. Because of the low severity, but mass impact we reached out to our network of hosting relationships in an effort to virtually patch this for millions of WordPress users as quickly as possible
The following hosts should have virtually patched or hardened your environments from this issue as of a week ago:
- GoDaddy
- HostPapa
- DreamHost
- ClickHost
- Inmotion
- WPEngine
- Pagely
- Pressable
- Websynthesis
- Site5
- SiteGround.
Note that despite being a DOM XSS, any sites behind our Website Firewall is already protected, but if you do not have a WAF or IPS protecting your site, we highly recommend removing the example.html from inside the genericons directory.
Thanks for this, it is worth adding that the examples.html can be found in the following places:-
wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/genericons/example.html
wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/genericons/genericons/example.html
There also seems to be a similar file in the 2014 theme but I am not sure if it is vulnerable in the same way, it does not appear to contain any javascript so I am guessing not.
How does one go about getting added to the list of hosts notified about these types of things in advance for patching?
Shoot us an email (at soc@sucuri.net) and we will notify you directly if there is ever an issue that affects you guys (or whenever we do a pre-disclosure to hosts).
The updated versions of Jetpack and the Twenty Fifteen theme were released earlier this afternoon. Do you update your posts about security issues with information about the updates?
Now we’re at JetPack 3.53. That’s 3 releases in 27 hours. They even switched stable settings backwards in the log! Automattic is the problem…not Sucuri.
The prior 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 updates had nothing to do with this vulnerability, they were remedying a deprecated API on the part of Facebook pertaining to share counts. There was a missing callback argument on 3.5.1 leading to caching issues on the remote server, that had to be rectified in 3.5.2 — which we pushed out promptly before too many people had caught the update.
Regarding today’s 3.5.3 update, Jetpack had been previously made aware of the issue, and was working with the Core Security Team toward a coordinated update and disclosure. Unfortunately, we weren’t given any advance notice of this post, so the timing caught us before preparations were complete. Once the news was released — as the cat was then out of the bag — we pushed the update as quickly as we could, to secure as many users as possible. Hence another point release in short order.
Certainly not our preference on how things aught to be done, but we’re doing the best we can to be good open source citizens and working with all the other players involved.
Thanks for the explanation. Updates are appreciated, as the log shows both Bug Fixes and Security Hardening.
Unfortunately, I’m one who looks for WordPress-related updates and pushes them quickly across sites, since there have been so many security updates across the realm in the past month. So, I did experience Security false positives in Wordfence with 3.51 and ended up jumping around four versions across various sites today…
Oh well, my comment was sour, but just meant as a pushback. Sucuri and Core Security Team are both doing great jobs–yes good open source citizens all around. Thanks!
What in genericons/example.html made it possible for the attack? Why is the readme.txt file safe?
Out of the default themes it looks like it only affects the twentyfifteen theme. The problem is specifically in this JQuery call: jQuery(document).ready(function() where the window.location.hash.split(‘#’)[1] is unsanitized.
So easy to miss, but it highlights the importance of sanitizing ALL user input!
As correctly mentioned by Eric. The problem is with window.location.hash.split(‘#’)[1] part.
WE have tested the same issue and you can patch it using the “encodeforHtml()” function which is used to convert the variables to their corresponding html entities.
After using the same function it will look like this.
If Jetpack or TwentyFifteen are not active, is the site still in jeopardy?
Even if the theme/plugin are not active, this particular file is still accessible publicly, so I would assume it’s still a potential vector. If you’ve updated WP core to 4.2.2 today, it should have removed these files for you automatically.
Thanks. It seems Jetpack has had a string of several vulnerabilities lately. It does not seem to have an auto-update. You’d think by now that all plugins and themes would have an auto-update feature to close the window of opportunity between the time when a vulnerability is discovered until the time the the plugin is manually updated by the site owner.
In case you’re a sys admin maintaining shared hosting servers, you can quickly get a list of affected accounts with: find /home/*/public_html -type f -name “example.html” | grep “genericons”
It isn’t the most elegant way, but it does the job. Of course, you
may need to adjust it to match your environment (e.g. /home2, /home3 etc..).
I would be a little careful in assuming this problem can only occur in files named example.html. Any plugin developer who decided to include this vulnerable genericons package could have easily changed the filename of the example.html file or just used parts of the code and inserted into their own plugin development. It would probably be safer to look for the combination of “genericons” and the vulnerable code “window.location.hash.split(‘#’)[1]”. At least from our preliminary searches, this is a pretty unique combination and won’t occur very often outside the context of this specific vulnerability.
You are right, but scanning all files for that piece of code would be extremely resource consuming, in case of a shared hosting server (500-1000 websites per server in my case). So, doing quick grep only on filenames was good enough for initial impact assessment.
I understand your point, it would depend on how many files you would have to scan. Just wanted to make sure people don’t think the issue could only be restricted to files named example.html. Although at this point I have not heard of it being found in any other filename.
It’s doubtful that a plugin author boosted the impacted part of the file and used it elsewhere. The primary issue is that example.html called an outdated version of jQuery via a CDN. The current version (what is included in WordPress itself) isn’t effected.
I can’t take credit for this, but it makes me smile:
>> WordPress is an unauthenticated remote shell that, as a useful side feature, also contains a blog.
That feature should be under the settings in everyone’s wordpress install – not on another website.
@spiralscripts:disqus – I am having slightly “minor” difficulties trying to locate wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/genericons/genericons/example.html within my site. I don’t use the theme but I am using JetPack… I appreciate your help! Thank you!
thanks for the nice information in the post

I’ve updated tabs layout algorithms in Tabs Studio to keep the preview tab in the last and right aligned position. For the horizontal tabs layout, the preview tab is now always in the right corner and on the last row with normal tabs, if there is space, or below them:
If you use vertical tabs in Visual Studio 2012, the preview tab is now always at the bottom of normal tabs and to the right:
How do you put the tabs in a vertical list in VS2012? I used that layout in VS2010 thanks to the Productivity Power Tools, but that extension is not available for VS2012.

What Causes Autism In Children?
What causes autism in children? From food to medication to chemicals and genes, the cause of it all has been a controversial subject, but what researchers have found is that genes play a big role with autism.
Watch as Thomas Frazer PhD., a clinical psychologist at Cleveland Clinic Center For Autism, describes how very early in autism research, about 20 years ago, they began to study identical and fraternal twins. As identical twins share genes and fraternal twins share half of their genes, they discovered that when one twin from the identical pair was diagnosed with autism, there was a 90% chance that the other would also. As for fraternal twins if one was diagnosed the other would only have a 10% to 20% chance. With this study, they immediately knew autism had a genetic component but they still have not been able to pinpoint it to one out of hundreds connected to autism.

Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About a Hardship Withdrawal
When people dip into their retirement plans before the age of 59 ½, it’s usually to cover a big financial hit. Among the most common reasons are out-of-pocket medical costs, down payment on a principal residence, burial and funeral expenses, and educational expenses. Dipping into your retirement plan before age 59 ½ is known as a hardship withdrawal, and is nearly always the last resort (withdrawing early means you'll pay a penalty fee).
With the price of everything, from health insurance to college tuition on the rise, it's not surprising that 2.2% of all 401(k) participants made a hardship withdrawal between August 2017 and August 2018. If you ever find yourself having to consider this option, it's important to be armed with the information you need to make the right choices.
Hardship Withdrawals: A Crash Course
What is a hardship withdrawal?
Unlike borrowing money from your retirement plan, a hardship withdrawal is just that: a permanent withdrawal from your retirement plan that you don’t pay back. It means that you are experiencing extreme financial need that can only be satisfied by a distribution from your retirement plan.
What are the rules for 401(k) withdrawals?
As with all things financial, there are rules about when and how you can withdraw funds from your retirement plan. Among the most notable are these:
- It is up to your employer to determine the specific criteria for a hardship withdrawal1. For instance, one plan may consider a medical expense, but not college tuition, to be a financial hardship.
- The reasons for making a hardship withdrawal are few and far between. Even if you have IRS approval, your employer doesn’t necessarily have to go along with it. Among the most common reasons are college tuition due in the next 12 months, a down payment on a home, out-of-pocket medical expenses, expenses for home repair to cover damage by flood, fire, hurricane or earthquake, or to prevent foreclosure or eviction.
- There are limits to how much you can withdraw. You can only request the amount needed to cover the expense. This includes any taxes or penalties you pay on the early withdrawal.
- IRAs are different. Unlike a 401(k), you don’t need approval to dip into a traditional IRA before the age of 59 ½. You’ll always pay taxes on the amount you withdraw, but you may be able to dodge the 10% early withdrawal penalty if your distribution qualifies as an exception. Among these exceptions are higher education expenses for you or your immediate family, a first-time home purchase, medical expenses and permanent disability, among others.
How does it work?
If your employer-sponsored retirement plan allows hardship withdrawals, you’ll probably need to submit a request. That request then has to be approved by a committee or a representative who has accepted responsibility for making the decision to allow you to make the withdrawal—or not.
It shouldn’t come as any surprise that the approval process can be tough. Plans that allow hardship withdrawals are legally required to spell out their specific rules. You may have to explore alternatives like a commercial loan or an IRA withdrawal before your employer will consider an application a hardship withdrawal. They may even ask you to provide financial statements, medical bills or a notarized statement as proof that you need the money.
New developments
In February 2018, Congress passed the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA), which, starting in 2019, will make it easier for you to make hardship withdrawals from your retirement plan2. Among the changes is one that allows you to withdraw not only your contributions to your retirement plan but also your employer’s contributions plus investment earnings.
Moreover, both you and your employer can keep contributing to your plan. This shift away from the punitive six-month contribution suspension is designed instead to help you maintain and grow your retirement savings. In addition, you don’t have to explore plan loan options before deciding that a hardship withdrawal is what you really want.
But not all the rules are new. One provision that has been around a while but doesn’t always make the headlines is the IRS Rule of 55. Essentially, if you are laid off or fired, or you quit your job between the ages of 55 and 59 ½ you can pull money out of your retirement plan without paying the 10% penalty. Keep in mind that this rule only applies to your current plan. If you have money in a retirement plan at a previous employer, not your current employer, you’ll have to wait until you’re 59 ½ to withdraw those funds – or pay the penalty.
The pros and cons
The number-one reason for withdrawing money from your retirement plan is having the money. You can pay the bills, keep the house, pay for medical treatments or cut a check for that college tuition. Yes, it will cost you to make that withdrawal. Yes, you’ll pay income taxes on the amount you take out. But you will have the money you need. And that’s pretty much the biggest advantage of a hardship withdrawal.
The downsides are more numerous. In addition to depleting your retirement account, there are taxes to consider, along with penalties, individual plan differences and hiccups (each plan has its own complexities) and, maybe most important of all, opportunity costs. Withdrawing money from your retirement plan is a permanent reduction in the value of your nest egg. Why? You lose the benefits you reap from tax-free compounding. And if you’re lucky enough to have an employer-match plan, then you’re losing out on even bigger growth in your retirement funds.
A last resort
If you’re struggling financially or have racked up some unexpected expenses, it’s important to consider all your options before deciding to raid your retirement account in a permanent way. Most financial experts will say that a hardship withdrawal should be a last resort. If you have exhausted all your options and come up empty-handed, maybe it’s time to talk to a financial planner or advisor. Any steps you can take to protect your financial future – and the money you’ve worked hard to save – will be worth it.

YEC member Patrick Flynn recently co-founded dipity, a dating app that isn't all about swiping. The app gives users who match and start chatting a choice of 10 potential places to meet. If both parties choose the same location, they can move forward with the date. If they don't, it places them both back into the dating pool.
Flynn started dipity in March 2016 with business partner Dominic Amenta to add elements of fate and location-based meeting/dates to the dating app world. It connects to your Facebook profile in a secure and private manner.
"The dating app market was getting saturated, but we weren't seeing much innovation," Flynn told VentureFizz. "Not only is dipity the first app that integrates location-based places to meet for your date, but it also adds in an element of fate. If you and your match select the same place, it creates an immediate conversation starter and sense of common ground to start from."
dipity is free and available for download in the app store. It will be available for Android on the Google Play Store this summer. You can read more about it here.

In 1998 Reynolds Price read from “Roxanna Slade,” his new novel, at a Borders in Charlotte.
Afterward, he recalled having visited the White House at the invitation of Bill Clinton. How big a fan was Clinton? Accompanying Price on the elevator, he shocked his guest by reciting the famous opening sentence of “A Long and Happy Life”:
my ‘Don’t’ and rested in humiliation, not thinking but with her hands on his hips for dear life and her white blouse blown out behind her like a banner in defeat.”
First sentence, first novel. How was that for starters?
One thought on “Reynolds Price, Bill Clinton and Wesley Beavers”
I was the manager on duty that night at Borders. It was the first and only time I ever met Mr. Price, but his graciousness made a powerful impression. And his Truman Capote imitation wasn’t bad, either.

The Museum of Future Experiences (MoFE), a virtual reality pop-up museum, has opened in New York. The immersive experience offers guests a haunting look inward.
MoFE is a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience that uses immersive theatre, psychology, virtual reality (VR), and the psyche of visitors themselves.
The attraction, which is running until the end of August, invites guests to wear virtual reality Oculus S headsets, before revealing an alternate universe based on their hopes, dreams, and fears.
First, however, visitors are quizzed about their thoughts and desires. Why? Because their answers will reveal their subconscious, and shape the personalised content they’ll see.
Immersive theatre, psychology and VR
In groups of six or fewer, guests are guided through a “cerebral exploration”, which lasts for 60 minutes. The experience includes individual analysis, audio-visual stimulation, and dreamlike VR curated to visitors’ inner being.
According to the MoFE website, guests will go on an “awe-inspiring trip” brought on by technology, with perceptions suspended and a chance to “reflect on the subconscious and feel the overwhelming thrill of having a hole bored through your head”.
The website also warns that side effects could include “heightened sensitivity, intense connectivity, and an acute sense of openness”.
The Museum of Future Experiences hopes to expand to other major US cities in the future.
Personalised VR content at MoFE
In South Korea, SK Telecom’s experiential, interactive technology museum, called T.um, features augmented reality (AR), virtual reality, artificial intelligence (AI), hologram technology and 5G.
Blooloop previously detailed six attraction technology trends for this year, including voice activation, bots and AI, as well as AR and VR. We also compiled five VR experiences currently entertaining visitors.

Annual Plant Combinations to Match Your Favorite Team’s Colors
It is easy to show your team spirit all season long by planting annual flower combinations that represent the colors of your favorite college or professional football team.
RED is the most popular color in sports, and rightfully so. Red stands for determination, energy and leadership. Consider starting your container with a vibrant Geranium, such as Fantasia® Dark Red, and combine it with Verbena ‘Snowflurry’. This red and white color combination is ideal for fans of NCAA powerhouses Alabama Crimson Tide, Stanford Cardinals, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Texas A&M Aggies. Add a dark accent, such as Sweet Potato Vine ‘Black, along with Euphorbia Breathless® White, and Lobelia Waterfall™ ‘Aurea’ (Lysimachia) and burgundy and gold variegated Coleus Versa™ Crimson Gold. Consider adding an upright Cordyline ‘Red Star’ (spike, dracaena) to the lineup!
ORANGE stands for strength and endurance. It is the marque color of the Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Clemson Tigers. Bears and Broncos fans can combine Petunia Potunia® Papaya or Calibrachoa Can-Can® Apricot with Verbena Aztec® Blue Velvet and Lobelia Regatta White for an eye-catching display. Clemson diehards can simply substitute Petunia ‘Rhythm and Blues’ for the Verbena to create an exciting combination. Cabaret® Purple and Cabaret® White. Touchdown! Wildcats! Add a gold accent for the others, such as Lantana ‘New Gold’, or select another color of the Cabaret® series, Cabaret® Deep Yellow. Now there’s a winning combination.
GREEN is associated with endurance. The Green Bay Packers and the Oregon Ducks paired it with yellow gold, the color of success. Support your winners with Osteospermum Voltage™ Yellow, Lobelia Waterfall™ White Sparkle, and variegated trailing ivy, such as ‘Gold Child’. Michigan State fans can back their Spartans with a “whiteout” planting of Double Petunia Ruffle™ White and Euphorbia Breathless® White. Go Green!
Wherever your loyalties lie, it’s easy to cheer for your team all season long with containers full of color. With today’s selection at your garden center, the combinations are nearly endless. So, get in there and score!

I took a test this afternoon and it was negative. I was a bit disappointed so I went back and looked at it again about an hour later and I think I see a line forming. I know I read somewhere that you can’t trust the test results after a certain period of time but I thought I’d seen threads on here where women have posted lines showoing up a few hours after the test was taken. So, do you see a line? Has it been too long to trust the test changing to positive? Sorry the picture is sideways. The forum has changed since I was last on here and I can;t figure out how to change it.

@mrspinesol: There are some reasonably priced 6 mm round brilliants at simplysapphires. Just arrange them by cost.
Mine is comparable to .5 and was $150 through the jeweler. No inclusions, great clarity, really beautiful. I clean it once a week with the cleaner the jeweler gave me and it sparkles. I love it!!
I have a white sapphire e-ring, but the stone came with the setting. It’s stunning and I would never trade it for a diamond.
You should try posting on the forums at Pricescope. They’re very helpful with finding you a high quality stone that fits your budget and specifications. Good luck!
I did not keep my ring so I have no idea how well it would have stood up to the test of time. zales is very inexpensive, so buyer beware. I didn’t even know that some sapphires could get cloudy, but if they do then I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it happened to a zales stone.
The topic ‘White Sapphires?! Where can I buy one? Costs?’ is closed to new replies.

During World War 2, posters reminded the public that Careless Talk Costs Lives. It’s just as true today - and thanks to the internet, social media and messaging apps, careless talk spreads even further and faster.
That’s where the Rapid Response Unit (RRU) comes in. We’re based in the Cabinet Office and No10, and on Covid-19 we have stepped up our efforts significantly to identify and counter harmful narratives online – from ‘experts’ issuing dangerous health misinformation to fraudsters running phishing scams.
Up to 70 incidents a week, often false narratives containing multiple misleading claims, are being identified and resolved.
Working with departments across Government, we deploy a range of techniques to combat false narratives, including:
Direct rebuttal on social media working with platforms to remove harmful content ensuring public health campaigns are promoted through reliable sources.Our work feeds into the wider Counter Disinformation Cell led by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, made up of experts from across government and in the tech sector. The Cell engages with social media platforms and with disinformation specialists from civil society and academia.
The Government is also sharing its assessment of disinformation with international partners to better understand the global picture.
Working collaboratively has already helped make the UK safer, providing ourselves and our allies with a better understanding of how different techniques are used as part of malicious information operations – and how to protect against those techniques more effectively.
Working with citizens
We are also asking the public to help us. The Government is running the Don’t Feed The Beast campaign which gives the public five easy steps to follow to identify whether information may be misleading:
Source – make sure information comes from a trusted sourceHeadline – always read beyond the headlineAnalyse – check the factsRetouched – does the image or video look as though it has been doctored?Error – look out for bad grammar and spelling
Stopping the spread of dangerous misinformation can prevent crimes and save lives. As our colleagues, we ask you to help us by watching out for false information and sharing our responses.
Here are some examples of the RRU rebutting false narratives:

Held between June 12th to 15th 2018
Palazzo Pucci Via De’ Pucci 6 Florence
Bonaveri - A fan of Pucci is a tribute to the creative spirit of two of Italy's leading fashion & design houses.
On the occasion of Pitti Uomo, Bonaveri and Pucci have come together to celebrate a shared vision of creativity and craftsmanship.
Palazzo Pucci in Florence was the backdrop to a spectacular exhibition of Bonaveri mannequins and bust forms all dressed in garments from the Pucci archive.
Conceived by creative director Emma Davidge, the exhibition is a showcase of Italian craft, style and creativity.
Art Direction: Chameleon Visual | Images by Lapo Quagli | Video by Satore Studio
The Courtyard
A giant mannequin in the Palazzo Pucci courtyard watches over five Schläppi pieces designed in the 1970s, all painted in Emilio Pucci's iconic 'Vivara' print.
The Runway
Bonaveri Sartorial mannequins are the front row guests at a runway show. Each one is individually finished in classic Pucci colours, wearing bags, scarves, hats and jewellery from the Pucci archive.
The Archive Room
Just off Emilio Pucci's former study, Mannequins from Bonaveri's Tribe and Schläppi 4000 Junior collection are displayed in garments from the Pucci Archive.
The Art Room
In this ironic and humorous display, Bonaveri and Pucci have come together to showcase their respective artistic skills. Each piece draws inspiration from key moments in Pucci's heritage, using both vintage and current Bonaveri mannequin collections.
For the Art Room, special thanks to Mary Fashion
The Atelier
Bonaveri is proud to support the advancement and preservation of traditional artisan skills. The Atelier, located in Emilio Pucci's former studio, illustrates the craftsmanship applied in creating Bonaveri's products.
The exhibition featured many of Bonaveri's classic mannequin and bust form collections as well as artworks and garments from the Pucci archive.

(Forbes first published my article here.)
Oddly enough in our small rural school, we had three of us in the seventh grade class with virtually the same name: Dianna (me), plus Diana and Diane (a set of identical twins). Pity the poor teacher. Because the twins were identical—and I do mean identical—in appearance, they played all sorts of “switching” pranks on substitute teachers.
But after people got to know them, differentiating was easy. Even as a young teen, one had a much stronger personal presence than the other. Not that “presence” is all about personality, but their habits, attitudes, communication styles, poise, sense of humor, values, and so many other things contributed to that assessment.
Your personal presence—or lack thereof—becomes just as quickly evident to those around you. While none of these items listed below is a negative by itself, altogether these characteristics, attitudes, skills, or traits may lead to a plateaued career.
Would others consider you “quiet” in meetings? Do you prefer to give serious thought to topics and then email your ideas or feedback after the meeting? Is that preference so that you can be more complete—or because you feel uncomfortable in speaking before a group? Do others seem to “talk over you,” modify your ideas somewhat, and then take credit for them?
How to turn it around? Realize that every idea offered doesn’t require eloquence. Sometimes the simple act of speaking up is more important than the comment itself. Participation and engagement reflect confidence and your ability to interact with colleagues at all levels.
While everyone in the workplace can immediately identify the loudmouths and social butterflies, you tend to keep your head down and deliver results. As a result, you’ve been passed over for projects and promotions that you think should have been yours.
Friends working closely with you frequently praise your expertise in specific areas. You feel confident and competent. But somehow, wider recognition has not come your way.
How to turn it around? Consider letting your boss know of accomplishments in the same way you’d report new training to HR for tracking purposes. That is, consider “reporting” your goals, books you’re reading and applying to your job, metrics met, or favorable client comments. No need to editorialize. Just inform “in light of providing input on your career goals.”
If you were decorating your office wall with the “mottos” you live by, your selection would include “Go along to get along.” On the other hand, “let’s rumble” would definitely not make the display. Confrontation keeps you awake at night.
How to turn it around? Understand the value you contribute to the organization. Earning your paycheck is often about standing your ground and defending your ideas, approaches, programs, and projects.
Because you’re smart, your thoughts often race along many tracks at once. When someone asks you a question, you can envision seven ways to respond. You want to be accurate and complete, so your mind races back and forth, trying to decide which approach to take as you answer.
As you work on complex projects under a tight deadline, your brain operates in the same way. As a result, your work style and space tend to mimic your brain as it races from point to point. Your status reports may sound disjointed. You may miss a few deadlines or details. Your appearance may look disheveled. After all, you’re in a hurry and often feel like the proverbial “mad scientist” as you deliver results.
To an outsider, you look disorganized and “out of control.”
How to turn it around? Develop systems to allow time for polished results. Executive presence involves the ability to be selective, not necessarily comprehensive.
If something works well, you follow the plan. But innovative approaches give you pause. You have no desire to go where others fear to tread. You prefer to “stay in your lane.” You’re a firm believer in earning credibility by doing quality work, not necessarily by being an early adopter or project pioneer.
How to turn it around? Take on more stretch assignments. Become more comfortable with risks. Learn that failure is not permanent unless you refuse to learn from it.
Those with executive presence think strategically. They organize their ideas coherently and express themselves clearly as they write and speak. They interact comfortably to convey genuine interest and respect. A small tweak in these traits, attitudes, and skills can give you a significant career boost.
Learn more ways to increase your presence in Creating Personal Presence: Look, Talk, Think, and Act Like a Leader.

What (European Article Number) prefix, either 978 or 979
- 1 = registration group, usually country or region; in this case 1 = US
- 64153 = imprint/publisher
- 269 = publication; this identifies edition or format (eBook, paperback, hardback, etc.)
- 3 = check digit, mathematically validates the ISBN
Every book edition needs its own and separate ISBN, which means you need a separate ISBN for your eBook, paperback, hardback, etc. You also need a new ISBN if you rewrite your book or publish a second edition. Most authors would therefore need at least two ISBNs: one for the eBook and one for the paperback.
Where to get an for 10 ISBN.
In Canada get your ISBN here, free:
In Australia from Thorpe-Bowker: (one ISBN = $44 or buy in bulk: 10 ISBN = $88)
In New Zealand, free:
If your publisher assigns the ISBN (or you purchase one from a publisher), the imprint name will be the publisher’s name and not your own name. The same applies if you use the free assigned ISBN from retailers or distributors like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IngramSpark, D2D, etc. The imprint name will be the retailer/distributor name and not your name.
Printed Book ISBN
Many authors opt to use Amazon’s free ISBN for the printed book, but please be aware that you cannot use this ISBN anywhere else and it will show Amazon Digital Services as imprint – meaning that it can only exclusively be used with Amazon and no other retailer. Barnes & Noble uses Barnes & Noble Press as imprint if you choose their free assigned ISBN for the printed book.
E-book ISBN
Many retailers require an ISBN for the e-book and they will assign a separate unique number/internal code which is NOT an ISBN. For example, Amazon assigns an ASIN. Many authors confuse this with an ISBN, which it isn’t. The ASIN is just an internal Amazon number (Amazon Standard Identification Number) that is assigned to every product on its store and has no relevance anywhere else but on Amazon and its partners.
The most common issue you may encounter
You can use the same ISBN but be careful when assigning a distributor/aggregator. Once your book (and ISBN) is linked to your distributor, it will later be almost impossible to upload yourself and difficult to use this ISBN again directly (even though it is your own ISBN). This issue mostly occurs with printed books; here’s an example:
- You buy your own ISBN for your paperback
- You upload to Amazon POD (print-on-demand) using your own ISBN
- You choose wide (expanded) distribution with Amazon (this means Amazon will also sell your paperback with others; e.g. list your book with Barnes & Noble, libraries, etc.)
- You later decide to directly upload your paperback with Barnes & Noble as well as IngramSpark or any other retailer
- Barnes & Noble, IngramSpark and other retailers will NOT accept your ISBN as they have this ISBN already in their system (through Amazon’s wide distribution). Canceling Amazon’s wide distribution won’t help.
How you can solve this problem…
- Be prepared for this and first upload to all retailers you wish to publish directly to. Upload to Amazon POD, Barnes & Noble POD, IngramSpark POD but do NOT enable any wide distribution with anyone until your book is live with all those retailers. Only then should you decide to work with a distributor (who will handle distribution to libraries, stores and other retailers).
- This issue does not occur with e-books, mainly because retailers do not check on e-book ISBNs or in most cases do not even require one.
How about barcodes?
Barcodes are only needed for printed books – the barcode shows the ISBN, as well as the price of the book and is placed on the back cover. The first (left) part of the barcode shows the ISBN and the second (right) part is the currency and price assignment, here’s an example where the second part of the barcode shows 51399.
- 5 means USD $5 and
- 1399 means $13.99.
If you let the retailer create the barcode you will most probably miss out on the price assignment and it will show 90000 which means currency/price unknown. This will make your book look slightly unprofessional but at the end of the day it’s not a huge deal.

Throughout history, communication has either been verbal, written, or visual. This allowed us to participate in conversations and learn more about ourselves and the world around us. Conversations, in particular, require two different elements. Multiple people and a means of communication.
Fortunately, throughout the years, with technology advances, we’ve discovered new innovative means of communication. We have now unlocked new ways to communicate directly with our technology in a conversational environment using chatbots.
Having natural conversations with robots is now possible. Not only that, but they make our personal and professional lives easier. Indeed, today we can go on vacation and ask for a device to lower the blinds at home as if we were there, to turn on the air conditioning when we are about to arrive, to tell us how to say thank you in Mandarin or remind us of the list of tasks we have to complete.
Conversational Artificial Intelligence can be defined as the element responsible for the logic behind robots exchanges, it is the brain and soul of the chatbot. Conversational AI helps the robot lead the users to a specific goal. It allows for human-like conversations between machine and humans.
Conversational AI is powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP focuses on interpreting human language, while developers present the basic framework for how a conversation can unfold. Simply put, conversational AI and humans work together to create a virtual conversational experience in real-time through chatbots or conversational platforms. It is the evolution of artificial intelligence, which has learned to speak and listen.
Conversational AI uses the following technologies in order to understand, react and learn from interactions:
How it works is that the application receives data input from a human, which can be in the form of written or spoken words. If the information is spoken then Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is used transcribe the spoken words into text.
The application then uses Natural Language Understanding (NLU), which is part of NLP, to determine the meaning of the text and the intent behind it.
The system then uses dialog management in order to form a response based on its understanding of the text’s meaning. It could also use Natural Language Generation (NLG), the other element of NLP, in order to convert its response in a format that will be understood by humans.
Following this step, the application sends its response to the user (either through text or speech synthesis).
Finally, machine learning allows the application to learn and improve over time. Deep learning makes the machine more intelligent through each interaction.
Now that you know what it is, how does it benefit you? Well, in many ways:
There are various conversational AI applications:
If you’re using a chatbot, which is a conversational AI application that is less advanced, you’ve probably faced at least one of the following challenges:
When you’re dealing with sensitive data and personal information, Conversational AI applications have to be designed in very secure ways to make sure that privacy is respected.
A lot of factors can influence the conversation between a machine and a human such as language, sarcasm, slang, etc. Conversational AI systems have to adapt to constant changes in communication to be able to keep up with human conversations.
Conversational AI applications are becoming easier to use but there are still people that are not 100% comfortable with using this technology, mostly because they have little knowledge about it. Educating your customers about it can help the technology be better received for people who are not familiar with it.
Conversational AI will drastically change our interaction with commerce online. It will affect all aspects of when, where and how you interact and communicate with your clients. With conversation based on Artificial Intelligence, you will hold seamless, synchronous conversations with your clients across any platforms they decide to choose to be using, no matter where they are located and the medium they are using. Conversational AI is the future of enterprise and customers interactions.
Today, many providers will help you design and built a proper Conversational Chatbot for your business, the AI component of the equation is, however, more difficult to master and you may want to turn toward the specialized provider to be ahead of your market. To help you pick the best partner to build your conversational AI chatbot, we made the list of the top open-source chatbots platform on the....

This magnificent library was once the chapel in the Convent of Jesus and Mary in Gravelbourg, SK. The sisters dedicated 55 years to teaching young girls and boys. In 1970, they decided to sell the Convent to the Gravelbourg School Board.
The former Convent is now a multipurpose education center housing the Gravelbourg Elementary School, the Chinook Regional Library and the Cypress Hills Community College. The library is home to a statue of the Holy Mother made in Italy, as well a collection of paintings (reproductions) of masters of the renaissance period.
You can imagine how difficult it was for me, as a child, to pay attention to my research whilst being surrounded by such beautiful architecture and formidable paintings. Elementary School Stairs and Windows
Beautiful! Nice photos.
very interesting building

Twins GM: Pitching prospect Jose Berrios will not be called up
Twins general manager Terry Ryan closed the door on any chance of highly touted pitching prospect Jose Berrios reaching the Majors this month.
Ryan told reporters before Wednesday night's game that the 21-year-old will not be called up this month.
Berrios has thrown 161 1/3 innings between Class Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Rochester, which is more than the number of innings he threw the entire last season.
Berrios had an outstanding August with the Red Wings – owning a 2.03 ERA and a 48-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 40 innings pitched. During the month, opposing hitters batted just .203 against him.
Despite numbers like that and a team in contention for the playoffs, the Twins have chosen not to call Berrios up.
According to the blog Off the Baggy, the Twins could have called Berrios up now in September and had him begin 2016 in the minors, saving themselves the year of control.
Ryan's words Wednesday seem to run against what Twins manager Paul Molitor told reporters on Tuesday. Molitor said the team hadn't closed the door on calling up Berrios and that the young righty was still in the mix.
However, Wednesday Ryan indicated the team never was seriously considering the move.
So the plan will be for Berrios to make his final start with Rochester, then be sent home for the remainder of the season. So Twins fans will have to wait until next year before they'll see these kinds of swings and misses at Target Field.

The next UQ Theology seminar is on Friday June 16th from 2pm -4pm. Please note the change of room. We will be in E303 in Forgan Smith. It is at the western end of the School of Historical & Philosophical Inquiry precinct.
Di Crowther will address pastoral and theological questions around the, sadly, too often neglected issue of dementia care.
Peter Hobson will set up a conversation between Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language and Bonhoeffer’s theology of discipleship to help us think in fresh ways about Christian ‘followship’. Both extremely important and timely topics.
Please pass these details on to those who may find this of value.
Let me know of other useful seminars in the circles of influence and networks that you participate in. Kind regards, Sam Hey, email shey@citipointechurch.com

The mailman dropped of my second group break goodie bag from mojobreak coming off selling a previously pulled Payton Manning auto /5. These came from a couple randoms, one baseball and one football, and a late discounted purchase of the Jaguars. I'll just do the football.
I'll start with the Jacksonville stuff. They have a good number of rookies this year, plus there was some stuff from last year which might see a nice Denard Robinson for TMM.
While I didn't get a Denard hit, I think Dennis will like this card:
I also picked up a slot in a random break of 2014 Prime. Even if I didn't get a hit, I'd get some great photos. The randomizer gave me a combo slot of the Rams/Falcons.
And I pulled a relic.
And, here are the base and the inserts:
Tomorrow, some Cardinals.
You got Bortlesed! Love the Denard, thanks for sending it my way.

Disallowing 3rd party cookies in iframes breaks iframe facebook apps
Categories
(Firefox :: Preferences, defect)
Tracking
()
People
(Reporter: jbellis+mozilla, Unassigned)
Details
User-Agent: Opera/9.25 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en) Build Identifier: FF3 beta3 Most iframe facebook apps (as opposed to fbml-based fb apps, which always go through fb servers) need to set cookies to remember which facebook user is logged in. The discussion in shows at least one developer being surprised by this. "we do, indeed, block cookies in iframes with third-party URLs. this means our third-party blocking is good, perhaps too good, as it already stands." Asking users to manually change security settings is a bar most won't bother jumping over. That's not really an acceptable workaround. A dialog along the lines of "this page is setting a third party cookie. add to whitelist?" might be okay. The original issue where cookie-blocking policy was changed asks for examples of sites this would break. Facebook is a fairly major example, even though iframe-based apps are a minority. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. For comparison, the latest versions of IE, FF2, and Opera allow such cookies in iframes. (In IE's case this requires setting a p3p header but this is a well-known and trivial workaround that can be implemented on the server.)
it's a useful datapoint to know that facebook apps can break with third party cookie blocking. as you say, this highlights the need for a good solution for sites that do break - but we shouldn't cripple this feature and compromise privacy as a result. (note that we've already reverted making this pref the default, exactly because of the fallout - bug 417800.) see also bug 419596.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → RESOLVED

Resolution: --- → DUPLICATE
Ah, thanks for clarifying that. I didn't notice from bug 417800 that the pref had been reverted since the summary was proposing something else.

This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
[ BUILD # : 200408121535 ]
[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.4.2_04 ]
As best as I can tell there is no way to associated the F9 key with any ant task to compile a particular file. A major ergonimic negative with it comes to the free form project.
My recommendation is to add another line in th ebould and run properties page and wizard page labeled "compile" that will be run when buid->compile file is selected or "F9" is pressed. This would use the project for the file that the focused file is in.
No plans to put this in the GUI, at least not for 4.0. (The property
dialog for freeform projects might be expanded in future releases; the
main constraints are time to implement and test, since GUIs are much
slower and buggier to write; and the risk of bloating the GUI to the
point that simple and common things are hard to find with all the noise.)
However you can already bind this action ("compile.single") in the
project.xml; you need to specify an Ant property which will hold the
name of the file(s) to be compiled.
A guide for advanced customization of freeform projects is planned but
it is not available yet. You can get an idea of the possibilities with
these links:
What we absolutely need then is a document listing all of these "magic
names" and what pieces of the UI they match up to.
Of course. As I said, it is under development. John Jullion is
preparing it I believe.
very old issue resolved a long time ago, closing
No, this was not fixed a long time ago. Still in GUI of 5.0 beta2 there is no
way to associate any compile task with the F9 Key.
The bug sin't that there is no way in general, but that there is no support in
the GUI for this. This is also freform ant (in cast there is a difference)
If netbeans is not going to fix it close it as WONTFIX rather than claiming it
was resolved.
See issue #46886 for background. As of 4.1 you can just press F9 and the IDE
should offer to generate a target for you and bind it. Also see
*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 46886 ***

Sun-Maid made a big decision this year to opt out of the Raisin Bargaining Association’s negotiated field price for the first time ever. While growers were excited about receiving the highest price ever for their raisins, Sun-Maid representatives felt the price was too high under current circumstances in the world raisin market. Watch this interview with Sun-Maid Chairman Jeff Jue, as he shares their stance on the raisin market and what this means for the industry moving forward. Read more about it in the coming issue of American Vineyard Magazine.

Marvi Yap and Anna Maramba, crowned “the multicultural moguls” by no less than the Financial Post, are the two Filipino women behind a successful niche advertising agency that links mainstream brands to the ethnic consumer.
They are the founders, owners and directors of AV Communications, today a full-service megamillion dollar company, and winners of many top awards in marketing and advertising. Their secret is a more personal approach in marketing to multicultural groups says Anna, “by creating advertising that elicits an emotional response to the brand, beyond just simply putting an ethnic face.” Marvi adds, “We go deeper and ensure the nuances of the culture are reflected in the ad, there is an effort to understand in terms of grassroots.” They build emotional connections between the mainstream brand and the ethnic customer. This is a company with heart.
The beginnings
Not quite strangers in a strange land in terms of language and culture, Marvi and Anna came to Toronto in the early 2000s, brimming with optimism, secure in the success of their early careers (Marvi owned an advertising boutique, Anna was in interior design). Both were graduates of exclusive private girls’ schools, Marvi was at Maryknoll College before going to Michigan for her senior HS year as an exchange student, Anna studied at Assumption College. Marvi then obtained a degree in Mass Communications at the University of the Philippines while Anna specialized in Behavioural Sciences at De La Salle University, and then went on to pursue her special interests at the Philippine School of Interior Design.
They were children of privilege and were brought up by their parents to be independent, resourceful and accountable. Nothing could have prepared them better for their new life.
When the harsh reality of “no Canadian experience” set in, they had to settle for part-time work, often menial, in order to support themselves. They had arrived in Canada separately but were friends in the Philippines, having worked together briefly in graphic design. Anna was intent on pursuing a career in interior design while Marvi simply wanted to get away from advertising: “I was burnt out and all I wanted was to be just a supermarket bagger in Toronto!” Little did she know that, indeed, she and Anna would end up doing just that - bagging frozen bagels from 11 pm to 6 a.m. Other odd jobs included getting up at 1 a.m. in order to finish home delivery of the Toronto Star by early morning, and working in a dingy mailroom.
The company
One morning at the subway, Marvi noticed an ad across from her and nudged Anna. “Do you understand that?” “No,” was the reply. They “knew” English and were brought up immersed in American culture and yet were puzzled by the expression “Why break the bank?” “That’s when it hit us,” Anna says of this serendipitous moment. “We thought let’s start a multicultural agency to cater to people just like us!”
T
hey had no capital with which to start a business, no banks would lend them money as they had no underlying assets or steady jobs. They turned to family and friends in the Philippines who sent them small cheques whenever they could (eventually adding up to $80,000, all paid back with interest within two years). They worked at night to “survive”, and networked during the day looking for opportunities to get their agency started. Having started with small jobs in the Filipino community, like designing business cards, they finally got their big break when they put together a brochure for Western Union in Tagalog with Komiks style cartoons. Since 2006, the Philippines is Western Union’s No. 1 destination country.
Today, Western Union is just one of AVCommunications’ mainstream clients. Its roster includes BMW, Cineplex, Scotiabank, Elizabeth Arden, World Vision, Bank of Montreal, among others. Because of its unique multi-cultural approach , it is often hired to collaborate with agencies of record which do not have the same core competencies. For example, Marvi explains, “we have worked with Saatchi on the Toyota account.” The agency has also worked on an integrated advertising platform with the agency for Western Union to promote its holiday campaign, winning a prestigious Cassie for creative and marketing effectiveness.
On May 4th of this year, AV Communications celebrated their 15th year in business and has garnered almost as many awards. Earlier this year, they were recognized as one of Strategy Magazine’s Top Creative Agencies for 2018 in its Creative Report Card. They are repeat awardees of the coveted Marketing Magazine Awards, the “Golden M”, which recognizes the most creative and effective work in the marketing industry. They have received Summit Awards and the NAMIC Emmas for their marketing campaigns directed at multicultural markets around the world. An award-winning campaign for World Vision, “Pinoy para sa Pinoy”, appealed to Filipinos “malasakit” (empathy, concern for others) to raise funds for their needy fellow countrymen and was an unprecedented success.
The rewards
Despite the business accomplishment and industry recognition, Anna and Marvi remain humble and focused. They have not rested on their laurels and they credit much of their success to their “team.” They
employ skilled new immigrants and give them the opportunity to gain Canadian experience. They attribute much of the stability and endurance of AV Communications to the spirit of KAIZEN (Japanese concept of continuous improvment) which they foster in their team. Marvi: “We encourage everyone “to constantly stretch themselves and develop new skills. We try to hone their entrepreneurial skills to prepare them for a great future even outside AV.” Anna: “They feel like owners of the company and they always surprise us with their dedication.” One of the perks everyone enjoys is an annual trip to see the world. “It helps in expanding their mindset and creativity.” Last year they travelled together to Stockholm in Sweden.
In 15 years, Marvi and Anna have gone from stuffing frozen bagels to running a world-wide enterprise. They own a media subsidiary, Digital Avenue East, they have a partnership with Ten Cent (specialist in social media) in China, and have locally-based events supervisors with teams of brand ambassadors in many parts of Canada. A far cry from their first project designing business cards. To get this job, they costed it really low and earned a profit of $7.50. But then, to deliver the cards, they had to buy TTC bus tickets, leaving them with a net profit of $5.50! They have come a long way!
In addition to their business activities, they are involved in projects that benefit Filipino communities across Canada. They do volunteer work with the Kababayan Community Center in Toronto. They do pro bono work for Filipinos who need help. They prioritize and try to help those who most need it. All of these, as quietly and invisibly as possible.
“The more we gave back, the more ‘fortunate’ we became. Every time we are presented with the opportunity to give, we take it because we know that this is what we need to do in exchange for all the blessings we have received.”
There are certain uniquely Filipino traits and values that have helped as they built their company. To what do they attribute their success? Here, Anna and Marvi speak as one:
“Tenacity, hard work. Malasakit. And a do-more, talk-less mind-set.” To new immigrants to Canada looking for jobs and to would-be entrepreneurs, they would also add:
“Focus on your goals and go for the finish line, no matter what obstacles you face. Always find solutions, be resourceful, just keep on. Keep learning, be adaptable, welcome change because this is the way you will attain success.”
And to those who have “made it:”
“Don’t take advantage of anyone. People will take advantage of you, that’s a reality, but keep helping others anyway. Be fair, be honest, keep your values no matter what. Remember that integrity and values are more important than money and success.”
Their hearts are in the right place.

I'm crap at strain reviews so the TL;DR up first...
This strain is fucking brilliant and you all should most definitely run out and grab a prepaid credit card and buys yourself some!!!!!!!
Fast flowering indica/sativa hybrid, developed from a very stable sativa elite clone, pure and aromatic from the mountains of northern India, one of the primary centers of origin of the different varieties of cannabis.
These mountain sativas are compact and branched, Similar to the Indica, with hard and resinous buds, a good adaptation to cold. Flowering time of this mountin Sativas is much faster than most of the sativas.
We have crossed this North Indian sativa with one of our sweet and aromatic indica, getting a big vigor hybrid plant with high yield and psychoactive high. The aroma of this plant is sweet, fruity and spicy. On the palate the flavor is very intense and discovers citrus tones, fresh and anise.
During the flowering she produce very large and fully loaded buds with aromatic trichomes and shiny resin, having improved significantly with cross-pointing at the buds/leaf-ratio, flowering time, internodal distance and aroma.
Ganesh Spirit is a highly psychoactive plant, soft disruptive and well balanced; imaginative, lucid and relaxed at once.
40% Indica / 60% Sativa
Yield Indoor: 400-600 gr/m2
Yield Outdoor: 400-700 gr / plant
Flowering time Indoor: 8 weeks
THC: 18-20%; CBD: 0.8%; CBN: 0.4%
Sweet Seeds - Ganesh Spirit
Growing Ganesh Spirit well... it eats like an indica, branches like an indica, flowers like an indica, but damn, consume a little and you very quickly find out that it is not an indica. I have found it very good for managing pain, the high is both creative and motivated and I have no trouble getting through the tasks that must be performed and feel pretty good about along the way.
Through the vape the taste is close to divine, complex fruity flavour with an edge of licorice, even smoked the taste is something special. It is very fast flowering but doesn't stretch very much, mine barely doubled in height during flower, so you might want to grow it to a larger size during veg than you would say for an indica dom skunk.
Some pics from the switch to 12/12 and the second month of flowering...

edit... added a couple of extra pics.
I harvested at 58 days of 12/12 due to logisitics, but having broken a branch at 45 days, I was by harvest quite aware that the buds were strong enough for my purposes.
I have one plant revegging as I type and I expect this strain to feature in my garden for some time to come.
So yeah, go get some, and thanks Sweet for making some mountain genetics available... I'm going to refill the vape again...

Carmen Cruzat is a Chilean artist based in Santiago. She was born in 1987 and studied at the Universidad Catolica in Chile and her interest in printmaking also led her to study at Central St Martin’s College of Art and Design in London. Through collage, she brings together 19th-century photographs and the world of her own imagination to create surrealistic new artworks. Discarded portraits of people with unknown pasts are given a new life through these suggestive images which invite us to project our own imagined narratives onto them. As well as working with old photographs, she uses antique textiles which she hand sews with buttons and lace, paper and watercolor. She has an upcoming solo show at Casa Lo Matta in Santiago.

From INFOGALACTIC: In February 1938 Stern awoke with the story in mind. Inspired by a dream that was reminiscent of the 1843 Charles Dickens novella A Christmas Carol, Stern wrote a 4,000 word short story called "The Greatest Gift". He began work on it in 1939 but didn't finish until 1943, and was then unable to find a publisher. He … Continue reading It’s A Wonderful Tale

Mr President, we are here today, united from the left to the right, to condemn the dramatic fires happening as we speak in the Amazon rainforest. But why not stop crying and act – because today the European Union can do something concrete. We have trade tools to apply pressure and we should use them.
The EU has just signed the Mercosur deal and insists that the deal does not lower environmental standards and that the precautionary principle ensures that the EU and the Mercosur countries can continue to protect the environment. Well, now we can see how Bolsonaro keeps his part of the deal. The EU says it is legally committed to respecting the environment and biodiversity. So, will it suspend this trade deal at least until the fires have stopped and the investigations into the causes of the fire are concluded? If the burning of the largest rainforest in the world is not serious enough, what does it take for the EU to suspend this trade deal and respect the sustainable chapter of it?

just Cause site (1150 Magazine Street) and pray all 3″ traditional sets of Mysteries of the Holy Rosary (Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious), followed by the Litanies of St. Patrick and St. Michael and other prayers in honor of Our Lady.
CFN encourages all Catholics in or near the New Orleans area to participate in this important event. And for those who cannot attend in person, let us all join our prayers and sacrifices to those of the faithful who participate in the Rosary Rally on Saturday. May Our Lady cover us all, and especially the faithful in New Orleans, under her mantle of protection and obtain the conversion of those who promote or defend in any way the abomination of abortion!

NOLA CRUSADER Knight Rosary Rally For Life
Mandeville, LA, June 13, 2019 – Radio talk show host and Founder of The Veritas Radio Network’s CRUSADE Channel, Mike “The KingDude” Church, is leading a Rosary rally and response to the “UN
just Cause, A Boozy Bake Sale” [see here]. This event was organized to raise funds for Gulf Coast Planned Parenthood and give infanticide defenders the chance to make a statement about the “right” to kill your soon-to-be-born child. The Louisiana-based Confraternity CRUSADER Knights of the Most Holy Rosary will lead the Rosary!
According to Pro Life Louisiana [aka Louisiana Right to Life]…
More than 50 New Orleans area chefs,.”
Obviously, the baby’s rights are not important to Forman and the others participating. It is a sad day in our city when some of our world-class restaurants raise funds to help end the lives of living unborn babies. We want to protect future foodies, not abortion businesses. […]
Contact these restaurants today and tell them that they have lost your business. [Source]

Outside the Asylum
Come outside.
I usually don't respond to other people's essays in my Open Thread, but a recent essay on the front page dovetails nicely with a few things I've been thinking about. So I'm breaking my rule. (Will she regret it? Tune in next week and see!)
Back in the 50's, there was a column in the Ladies' Home Journal called "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" The recurring argument that everybody to the left of Bob Dole has been having since 1992 basically asks that question about the political marriage of the Democratic Party and the left. Should lefties work within the Democratic party? Should they try to reform it? Will the Democratic Party ever change? Or will it stick to its terrible, abusive bad habits? Can this marriage be saved?
The argument has been going on for twenty-five years now, and here's the funny thing about it: its essential points never change. The names change, details of political outcomes and political gossip change as difference characters take the political stage, but the meat of the argument is the same now as it was when Bill Clinton was first running for office. One side says the Democratic party is terrible, supporting abusive, right-wing policies, in thrall to a bunch of billionaire psychopaths, absolutely not on the side of anyone who has assets worth less than 50 million dollars. This side also says that the Democratic party is historically resistant to change, and that every attempt to change it has not only failed, but has failed rather spectacularly. Why do they say that? Well, because after each attempt at change, the same people remain in charge of the Democratic party and America proceeds on the same political path it was on before, going the same direction, farther and farther into authoritarian right-wing corporatism.
The other side says that the doubters and naysayers and Negative Nancies are the problem. If only everybody would get on board behind the current changemakers, maybe their movement would have enough fuel to actually change things. Instead, these malcontents sit on the sidelines, taking potshots at the good people who work within the system to make change, wasting their own votes on third-party candidates. Some have ceased to vote at all, showing their total indifference to the well-being of their fellow man. If only they would vote for the good Democrats, those politicians would succeed and bring their virtue to bear on the American political process, to the great gain of everyone who isn't a billionaire psychopath.
That's the part of their argument that stays the same. The rest of this side's argument varies depending on which politicians they are supporting.
Sometimes they say that the naysayers expect too much; they are "purists" who won't accept that the real world is imperfect, or they are fools who don't understand how correct Otto von Bismarck was when he said "Politics is the art of the possible."
Sometimes they say that the naysayers are cruel and unfair in their judgments of the political leaders trying to change things. They are mean people attacking the kind and the virtuous who have done so much for all of us. They are conspiracy theorists who think that those political leaders might not be sincere.
Sometimes they say that this time the movement for change is real, it really has a chance to succeed, because there is some difference between what's happening now and what has happened repeatedly over the past twenty-five years.
(Just as an aside: It's a little odd to hear liberal reformers, including the late, great Ted Kennedy, quoting Otto von Bismarck, who was a conservative Prussian prince with a penchant for starting ugly wars that expanded German power and arguably led to World War I. It's also a little weird that liberal reformers give the power to define political reality to a rabid anti-socialist who only started a welfare state so that he could prevent socialism from succeeding in Germany. Apparently lefties should all listen to a dead imperialist bastard who was really good at co-optation.)
Hmm.
The most important thing about this argument is that it never changes. The argument itself freeze-dries left-wing political life and seals it neatly in a packet. Someday we will slit the packet open and add water, and then the policies we want will emerge, flowering, from the dust. But not today.
Instead of immediately diving into the argument, and taking a side--which more and more often feels like reciting scripted lines, these days--let's look a little bit at the way each side makes its case. I'll try to come up with names for the two sides that are not perjorative. Let's call one side "The Optimists" and the other side "The Disenchanted."
How do the disenchanted make their case?
They usually rely on a rational analysis of politics and history. (By "rational," I mean the kind of analysis people are taught at university: an argument based on logic and evidence). If you bring them proof that they are misrepresenting the historical record, they will listen, and if enough facts are on your side, they will sometimes change their minds. They talk a lot about power. What is an accurate view of the political systems we inhabit? Who is running those systems? If you want to change those systems, you will have to get power away from those people. How will you do it?
Their immediate aim is to create the most accurate account possible of the politics we inhabit. At their darkest and worst, they accuse others of being idiots.They want their audience to question assumptions and present hypotheses based on facts: to engage in rational analysis alongside the author.
How do the optimists make their case?
They usually rely on faith: faith in political leaders; faith in the American political system; faith in people power and the movements that try to muster it. They talk a lot about character. Are their leaders really bastards or con men, like some of the disenchanted claim? Or are they good people who just need the support of loyal footsoldiers? If people refuse to be loyal footsoldiers in these movements, aren't they really withdrawing their loyalty, not just from politicians, but from the country and its suffering populace--or even the world? Who is sincere? Who is virtuous?
Their immediate aim is to persuade the doubtful to give up their doubts and join them in their faith. At their darkest and worst, they accuse people of being traitors. They want their audience to either become believers, or stop talking.
The recent front-page essay on this subject is from the optimist view, which can be easily demonstrated:
Who should be trusted? Are our leaders sincere?
Like I said, when the disenchanted make their case, they rely greatly on history.
Now, though the words "empirically prove" are used in that sentence, note that the aim is to convince doubters to give up their doubts and believe. The aim is not to get people to form their own hypotheses or question anything, but to assent to the rightness of the optimists' faith in their leaders. And how does the essay conclude?
Remember when I said they either want their audience to become believers, or stop talking? This is the part where the nonbelievers stop talking. The non-believing portion of the audience is being told what it can and cannot say in future arguments. Specifically, it is being told that it cannot use recent political history as evidence. It's like a prophylactic is being placed on the site's discussions.
Now, of course, if it really has been "empirically proved" that 2008 and 2016 are irrelevant to the 2020 electoral process, then any rationalist should welcome moving on from making dead-end arguments. In fact, as I said at the beginning, the most notable thing about the argument between the optimists and the disenchanted is that it never moves on.
So you'd think a rationalist would welcome dead-end arguments being consigned to the trash bin once they've been "empirically proved" to be false. The only question is whether the 2008 and 2016 elections have actually been empirically proved to be fundamentally incomparable to the 2020 election season.
2008 is easier for the author to deal with, because the idea here is that the failure of the Obama movement came about because of Obama's untrustworthy character. The fundamental question about 2008 is: Did he con us? Associated questions are: Was he trustworthy? If so, why not? Were we bad people for following him, or good people? How can we be better people? How can we tell whom to trust? These questions place the 2008 election squarely within the preferred discourse of the optimists: they like to talk about morality, character, and faith.
Therefore, it's unsurprising that the author makes a better case about 2008. He is on his own discursive turf. 2008 did not go as hoped because the electorate trusted an untrustworthy leader. That untrustworthy leader is not like the change agents now, because they don't take money from corporations and he did. Also, he spoke in vague, abstract terms, whereas their speeches are full of policy specifics. In 2008 you placed your faith in the wrong person: now place it in better people.
Now, it's debatable whether Barack Obama's poor moral character, even if he were the biggest schmuck on the planet, was the reason for the failure of the Obama movement. But let's just assume that if Obama had been an upstanding man full of civic virtue, that we would be living in a far better world--perhaps even a world that wasn't dying.
The problem is that one cannot analyze the 2016 election in the same manner. Bernie Sanders did not lose the Democratic primary in 2016 because he lacked moral virtue, or because his people did, or because his people were insufficiently loyal to him, or because "doubters" and negativists poisoned the political soup. Like the Bush "elections" before him, the Sanders "loss" sticks like a fish bone in the throat of customary American character-based political analysis.
Furthermore, this failure clearly cannot be solved by individual morality, or at least not by individual morality alone. This is a problem of power, that can only be solved by taking power away from the wrongdoers and their faction. And it has already been proved that running a good clean populist election is not the way to take power from those people. If it were, we would have had a Sanders vs Trump general election, and we would probably be talking about President Bernie Sanders right now.
We can talk about money in politics. We can talk about politicians' moral characters. We can talk about the difference between focusing on an individual and creating an entire movement with many leaders. We can talk about the moral character of the electorate.
But unless a progressive insurgency can prevent the Clinton faction, the Bush faction, or anybody else from committing successful election fraud, in a country where those who commit election fraud remain unpunished, just as those who commit financial fraud remain unpunished, it will not succeed in even getting its leaders into office, much less getting progressive policies turned into enforceable law. In order to do that, the corrupt must have their power taken from them.
At the root of most of the optimists' arguments lies the assumption that, if only people like me would stop being cynical doubters, if only we had sufficient faith, then virtue would prevail in elections. Power would be taken away from the corrupt via an electoral process, good policies would be instituted, made into law, those laws would be equitably enforced, and we could all get down to the business of trying to make this broken world whole. We just need to put our shoulders to the grindstone beside our fellows and we will, eventually succeed.
That argument sounds great. The only problem is that it has no basis in fact, does not rely upon logic, and ultimately provides a convenient set of scapegoats from the 99% to blame for any failures of that political method. As such, the argument is infinitely renewable, for as long as people want its comforts.
The Republicans did it first.
Bush, Cheney and Rove committed election fraud, and racist election fraud at that, twice and got away with it.
Oddly, none of the "liberal" Democrats has any interest in remembering that now.
By the way, George Bush is our ally now. He told People magazine he doesn't like totally correct
might just figure out he can pretty much do what he
wants for he has no resistance.
I don't think for a second that tptb will stop him
from running for a third time when that time comes
amerika has entered the twilight zone
imagine that dubya a hero of the liberal establishment
the way things are rolling tRumpolini is next to follow
that path
this time it's different
empty suit on Kapernick
"“Kapernick needs to think about the pain he’s causing military families."
Excellent essay and subject, CStMS! Have to take
care of a couple matters, but, will see you Guys a bit later.
Late yesterday afternoon and evening were a fiasco (for me)--got locked out of the WordPress account/blog that I'm hoping to add the 'chat' feature to. Will be looking into that later this week.
Thankfully, after I spent 2-3 hours digging up info to verify my identity, about 2-3 hours after I submitted a shout-out for help--a WordPress "Happiness Engineer" came to my rescue. IOW, they helped me access my account again, allowing me to reset the 2-Step verification which went awry--and locked me out.
Just glad that I was looking to retrieve a photo, to post at Smiley's, or, I wouldn't have even realized that I had the problem, until, right before I showed up to see about the 'chat' plug-in. At least, got that problem out of the way.
Later.

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
EL, you've nailed it! I was saying
the same thing (at another blog) when they sat on their hands when GWB ran for his second term. There were numerous articles written about it, IIRC. (in spite of the fact that he managed to win, without them)
Referring to your comment, that--
If DT wins a second term, undoubtedly, this cohort will be mostly responsible for the win.
Two things--judges and repealing abortion--drive their deepest convictions, and voting patterns.
(Frankly, I doubt if there was a video of him attacking the latest accuser of sexual assault/rape--sorry, can never recall her name--that they'd turn on him. He's given them a list of things they've wanted that's as long as my arm, almost.)
Unfortunately, many (not all) Dems vote out of fear, therefore, are not willing to 'play the long game.' That's, IMO, how the corporatists/neoliberals have managed to take over the Party.
If polls are to be believed--and, not sure they should be--it may be happening again this election cycle. IOW, many Cable pollsters claim that the Dem Party Base doesn't care that much about issues--only, that they select someone who can beat DT. Even if he's a corporatists, or, so-called moderate like Uncle Joe.
Yikes!

Health professionals across County Durham and Darlington are
supporting a national campaign throughout September to raise
awareness of cancer in men.
'Blue September' is a worldwide campaign created to get the
message out about cancer in men. It urges men to take preventative
action by improving their lifestyle choices and to seek advice from
a GP if they have any symptoms which could be cancer.
154,000 men a year are diagnosed with cancer in the UK and
81,000 men a year die. Men in the UK are about 60% more likely to
develop one of the cancers that affects both men and women, such as
lung or bowel cancer. Men are also about 70% more likely to
die from one of these cancers.
But many male cancer deaths can be prevented through healthy
lifestyle decisions and early detection.
Sharon Smith, Health Improvement Specialist, County Durham and
Darlington NHS Foundation Trust said: "At least one in three cancer
cases is preventable. Thousands of men's lives could be saved by
making healthy lifestyle decisions such as quitting smoking,
reducing alcohol intake, taking care in the sun, participating in
regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and eating a
balanced diet.
"Lives can also be saved if more men know more about the
symptoms of cancer and contact a health professional as soon as
they notice something worrying such as a lump or a nagging cough.
So during September the Trust's Talking About Cancer team will be
hosting a series of roadshows across the county when staff will be
on hand with information and advice about signs and symptoms and
how to do self checks.
"We'll also be reaching out to local women through the roadshows as
well because we know that many men ignore their health and it is
often the women in their lives - mothers, wives and children - who
give them the push not to just ignore things.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men with around 101
men diagnosed every day in the UK. Some of the common signs and
symptoms to look out for include needing to pee often, especially
at night, difficulty in starting to pee, straining to pee or taking
a long time to finish, pain when peeing or during sex or pain in
the back hips or pelvis.
Testicular cancer is rare before puberty but is the most common
cancer of men aged between 15 - 44, if diagnosed and caught early
more than 95% of men are cured. Signs and symptoms include a hard
lump on the front or side of a testicle, swelling or enlargement of
a testicle, pain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum or a
dull ache in the lower stomach or groin. It is recommended
that men should self examine their testicles at least once a month
to check for changes and if any of the above symptoms are noticed
they should get these checked out.
Rates of skin cancer are rising rapidly in the UK and more men
than women die from the disease. A little sunshine is a great
source of vitamin D, but prolonged exposure can increase the risk
of developing skin cancer. When outside (even on a cloudy day) men
should wear a long sleeved top and trousers, put on a hat and some
sun tan lotion, at least factor 15, with a high UVA. They should
also check their skin regularly, looking out for any changes to the
skin such as a new growth or sore that will not heal, a spot, mole
or sore that itches or hurts, or a mole or growth that bleeds,
crusts or scabs.
County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust's, Talking
About Cancer Team, will be out across County Durham and Darlington
throughout September raising awareness of male cancers and advising
men of how they can reduce the risk of developing the disease.
The roadshows will take place as follows:
The team is also looking for workplaces to work with in order to
raise awareness, if you would like the team to come into your
workplace please contact Sharon Smith on 01388 742562.
Published: 30 August
2011
'The treatment I have received from all the staff has been
excellent and could you extend my thanks to them all. A very
thankful and relieved patient'.

Cranberry
Research Library
This scientific research is for informational use only. The results reported may not necessarily occur in all individuals. Care/of provides this information as a service. This information should not be read to recommend or endorse any specific products.
Cranberry, vaccinium macrocarpon, is a plant commonly grown in North America that is harvested for its berries. It has been reported that Native Americans were the first group to use cranberries for food, fabric dye and as a healing agent.
Supports urinary tract health
Cranberry was first used traditionally by Native Americans as a treatment for bladder and kidney ailments. In addition to traditional usage, cranberry has a long history of scientific research studying its benefit on the urinary tract.
Bacteria species such as Escherischia coli (E. coli), Streptococcus, Enterobacteria, Klebsiella and Proteus can inhabit the urinary tract, grow and multiply and essentially cause infections. Since urine is usually sterile, pathogenic microorganisms must enter through the urethra and adhere to the host tissue. Cranberry supports the health of the urinary tract by inhibiting the adhesion of E. coli to the epithelial cell lining of the urethra. One of the primary beneficial compounds in cranberry, proanthocyandins (PACs) help protect against bacteria by collecting in the urine relatively intact and also by binding to pathogenic bacteria from the colon and decreasing their harmfulness (1).
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, cross-over trial of healthy women, Tempera et al. found that individuals taking a supplement containing 120 mg cranberry extract including 36 mg PACs experienced an approximately 50.9% reduction in bacterial adhesiveness over the course of one week (2).
Results from a 90-day randomized, placebo-controlled trial found that women given 500 mg cranberry extract standardized to 1.5% PACs reduced urinary E. coli adherence by 36%. Women given 1000 mg daily showed even further reduction of E. coli at 65% (3).
Another placebo controlled human trial analyzed the urine of 32 women consuming 0, 18, 36, or 72 mg PAC equivalents/day in cranberry powder capsules and found that there was a significant dose-dependent reduction in the bacterial adherence to human epithelial cells 24 hours after ingestion compared to placebo (4).
A 2007 double-blind, randomized, crossover trial of eight women evaluated the ability of a cranberry supplement on preventing bacteria from adhering to the human uroepithelial cells. Researchers found that 12 hours after consuming 108 mg of cranberry in capsule form, there was a significant decrease in bacterial adherence to human uroepithelial cells compared with placebo (5).
Health Canada reviewed information supporting the safety, efficacy or quality of cranberry and determined the following claims to be acceptable for cranberry natural health products. The doses required to bear these claims are preparations equivalent to 90-950 ml fruit juice, per day or preparations equivalent to 10-30 g fresh fruit, per day (6).
• (Traditionally) used in Herbal Medicine to help prevent (recurrent) urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• (Used in Herbal Medicine to) help(s) prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women

Japanese actress Erika Sawajiri was arrested in Tokyo and accused of having drugs, more details to follow!
Japanese actress Erika Sawajiri was arrested on Saturday in Tokyo and accused of allegedly owning a small amount of MDMA or ecstasy, reported by NHK today citing police sources.
The sources indicated that the agents found in her home slightly less than a tenth of a gram of ecstasy (0.09 grams), which the actress allegedly recognized was her property.
Erika Sawajiri, 33, the daughter of a Japanese father and an Algerian mother, has participated in various television programs and films such as “Pacchigi!” (2004), where she played a young Korean-Japanese.
According to NHK, the actress, who has also maintained a parallel career as a singer, was arrested in her apartment in the Tokyo neighborhood of Meguro, where she lives with her mother, following unspecified suspicions that indicated she possessed illegal drugs.
According to the same sources, the actress had been in a club in the Tokyo district of Shibuya the night before her arrest. The drug was found inside a capsule stored in her room, police told NHK.

Artwork, Inspiration, Photography, Poetry, Reflection, Writing
This morning as I read my blogs and article feeds from so many amazing sources, I was noticing a common thread about “Choosing and the Past”.
The photograph above is of a maple tree in my yard just after a thunderstorm passed and the sun was embracing the raindrops on her leaves.
I was looking for a rainbow which never appeared, yet I still felt the thankfulness that the storm had brought us some much needed rain, as well as the enthusiasm to embrace the freshly charged air and newness that a clearing storm can bring.
Here in the order of their presentation to me are the quotes which inspired and to which I add my own…
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.” – Henry David Thoreau
“First-hand experience is living from our true self, where you direct your life from within, and find love, beauty, and joy in every experience you have.” – Deepak Chopra
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
– Carl Jung
“Choice is the ability to move through all perceptions of the past so as to become new once again in the now.” – Charlie Riverman Bergeron
Have a Blessed Day and Choose Wisely

Thanks.
Although history has shown us many different versions of when the first official date of Thanksgiving is in North America – Native Americans had been giving thanks during the harvest season for centuries – Virginians celebrate the first English one held at the Berkeley Plantation in 1619 – next year will be the 400th anniversary! – according to accounts from a first-hand report of Captain John Woodlief’s journey from Bristol, England, to the New World.
Along with 35 Massachusetts.
Prior to setting out on their journey, the settlers received a proclamation from the Berkeley Company, who financed the trip, with a list of ten instructions. The first directive was to give thanks immediately upon arrival and to continue the practice “yearly and perpetually.”
The ceremony was a simple one — not much more than a prayer of thanksgiving; and nothing like the Pilgrims’ three-day New England feast. The tradition continued each year until a 1622 Powhatan attack decimated the fledgling settlement.
First Official Holiday Set in 1863
In the autumn of 1621, in celebration of their first successful corn harvest, the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony hunted wildfowl and held a feast that was attended by local members of the Wampanoag Tribe, which contributed five deer. History books and countless American schoolchildren know this communal meal as the famous “First Thanksgiving.”
The United States government officially established the first November Thanksgiving holiday in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War.
Local fun events
On Thanksgiving Day this year, the 38th Annual Boar’s Head Turkey Trot will take place at the Boar’s Head Inn. Unite with friends and family to run or walk the annual 5k course to raise money for the UVA Children’s Hospital. No pets, please. Early registration is recommended. Boar’s Head Inn. 8am. All ages welcome. Reservations are required. For more info call: 972-7454.
Also on that day, starting at 10 am, come to the 91th Annual Blessing of the Hounds at the historic Grace Episcopal Church – first held there on Nov. 28, 1929. Enjoy a brief blessing ceremony, which includes bagpipes, a soloist, hounds, and horses. Enjoy cider and donuts and the beginning of the hunt afterward. No pets allowed on church grounds. All ages welcome. For more info call: 434-293-3549.
Help over the holidays
If you’d like to donate to a local food bank to help over the holidays:
The Thomas Jefferson Food Bank is the local hub of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, which, since 1981, has served 25 counties and 8 cities on either side of the Blue Ridge through distribution centers in Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Winchester and at the headquarters in Verona.
It provides nutritious food to 114,400 people each month through a far-reaching network of 215 food pantries, soup kitchens, schools, churches and other nonprofit groups. The local branch is located at 1207 Harris St # B – just down from Bodo’s on Preston. Phone: (434) 296-3663.
Loaves & Fishes, located at 2050 Lambs Road, near Albemarle High School, is able to purchase food at greatly discounted prices, so monetary contributions go further than food donations, but they’re grateful to receive either. It’s a tax-exempt organization and donations are tax deductible. Phone: (434) 996-7868.
Earlier Thanksgivings
For those who are curious,.. The Timucua Indians warmly welcomed the French Huguenots and helped prepare a feast in their honor. “We sang a psalm of Thanksgiving unto God,” Laudonnière wrote of the ensuing celebration, “beseeching Him that it would please His Grace to continue His accustomed goodness toward us.”
Spanish explorer Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles arrived on the coast of Florida. He came ashore on September 8, 1565, naming the land on which he stepped .
Colonial records indicate that on the date they came ashore, and in gratitude for their safe arrival, the Spanish celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving, the very first Catholic mass on American soil. According to the memoirs of Father Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Grajales, who celebrated the mass, once “the feast day [was] observed . . . after mass, ‘the Adelantado [Menendez] had the Indians fed and dined himself.”

Ahhh…the 1980’s & 1990’s.
Big hair, awesome music, ugly cars, video games, the introduction of the personal computer.
What a time to be alive!
This was the era I grew up in and it was an interesting time to have a disability.
In the 1970’s there were all kinds of laws that were passed in Canada and the United States ensuring that people with disabilities were included in society as much as possible, but there were still some bugs to iron out.
When I entered elementary school in 1983, the staff were generally supportive and helpful, with the exception of our school principal.
He seemed to be reading the new rules for integration too literally, so he was expecting things from me that just weren’t going to happen.
Physical Education….Yuck.
I’m just not built for running, jumping, playing baseball, volleyball, dodgeball and the list goes on. But the principal of our school felt that if I was going to be fully integrated into the school, that I also had to take Physical Education.
Thankfully most of my teachers allowed me to do a few easy things, and then I just sat and watched – which was my preference.
But, Track & Field Day…That was another story…
Every year this was the ONE day that I dreaded more than ANYTHING. I would rather undergo surgery than take part in Track & Field Day. I’m serious.
Most years I would take part in all the events because the Principal felt that in order to include me in the life of the school, that I should do EVERYTHING that all the other kids were doing which included high jump, long jump, 100 metre dash, 200 metre dash and so on.
It didn’t take a rocket scientist (or an elementary school Principal) to see that I wasn’t built for that type of thing…
So…each year, that day came and I participated. There were 2 other kids with disabilities that were in the same boat as me, so at least I wasn’t fully alone in my humiliation.
High jump? Are you kidding me? I can’t jump at all…so high jump is a stretch.
And the 200-metre “dash” – This one event was quite possibly the most traumatizing event of my entire life.
I took off as best I could and was able to keep up for about 20 feet and then I slowed down. After about 50 metres, I felt like dying.
My sister and her friends cheered me on, but all I could think of was “I want to die right now…”
It might seem trivial now since it was over 30 years ago and I’ve come to accept it and be healed from the hurt, embarrassment and so on, but I find that thinking about it still brings back emotions.
At the end of it all, I came in last in every single event…every year. I did receive a participation ribbon, which, if you’re wondering, DOES NOT make you feel better.
And then we devised a better, rather simple plan for Track & Field Day.
Grade 6, 7 and 8 on the very day that Track & Field Day happened, I was mysteriously stricken with an 8-hour bug that just didn’t make it feasible for me to attend school that day.
The Principal called wondering why I was not at school. Mom informed him of my sudden illness and then I watched TV for the rest of the day. 🙂
What about academics?
When I entered elementary school I was a pretty average kid academically. I could pull off B’s and C’s with zero effort, so that’s where I decided to stay. It’s not that I “couldn’t” – I had just done a mental calculation and determined that if 70% effort got me a decent passing grade, that was acceptable to me. 🙂
I wasn’t stellar at math, especially the type of math that I have yet to ever encounter in my everyday adult life.
At one point in time there was some debate about whether I should enter Special Education. They assumed that because I had a physical disability, that I must also have a developmental disability, therefore I should go to the “special” classroom.
All because I wasn’t great at math…
Crazy!
This whole situation was remedied by a few heated discussions between my Mom and the Principal.
Discussion over – Mom won! 🙂
I hope kids with disabilities today don’t have to go through some of this stuff because it was ridiculous.
Hello Nintendo!
In 1990 I had a surgery on my left foot to do a little reconstruction so I could walk on the bottom of my foot vs the side of it. It really wasn’t that bad, The hospital had free ice cream cups located down the hall, which inspired a young Jonny to get up try to get down the hall so he could enjoy his favourite dessert.
But, once I got home the days were pretty long.
Because my bedroom was upstairs and the upstairs didn’t include a bathroom, we decided it was best to spend most of my time on the couch. It was too hard to navigate the stairs with a heavy plaster cast.
As crappy as the situation was, it was made much better when my parents purchased a brand new Nintendo Entertainment System. It came with the Super Mario Brothers, the zapper gun and my favourite game at the time – Duck Hunt.
I spent HOURS playing that game and was able to beat Super Mario Brothers.
Another surgery 2 years later, but this time I had the 1992 Car Guide to read from cover to cover.
Family vacations were great!
Around age 12 I started to use a wheelchair when we went anywhere that would require too much walking – Wonderland, Disney World, Busch Gardens and so on.
The great thing about using a wheelchair in these venues is that it pretty much guaranteed that we could get to the front of the line.
At the time, most theme parks were moderately accessible except the rides, where only the emergency exits were accessible.
This meant that the general procedure when going on any ride or attraction (where people might be lined up for 1 hour or more) was to approach the front entrance and inform a staff member that we needed an accessible entrance.
At this point, they would usually guide us through a series of doors and hallways and then I would come out on the other side of the main line and wait there – starring at hundreds or thousands of people, all waiting to go on the same ride.
The ride would come to a stop and everyone would get out – but they wouldn’t let anyone else on yet…
Not until little Jonny was tightly fastened in his seat. Then the ride started up again and proceeded like normal.
On one occasion, it was a popular ride at Universal Studios. The people waiting in line waited well over one hour to get onto that ride. My Dad saw all the people waiting as we quickly and easily bypassed and just as I was getting out of the wheelchair to get onto the ride, my Dad leaned over and whispered: “Maybe try to look extra handicapped…”
He was just concerned that people might have thought we were scamming the system because technically I could get up and transfer myself onto the ride. 🙂
This was before the days of express passes at theme parks and it really was a time-saver. It wasn’t just me that got on fast – it was everyone that was with me. My parents and sister can thank me for helping us ride ALL the rides in just one day.
Of course, there were always people trying to take advantage of this system, because they knew that sometimes having a disability does have a few perks… 🙂

An amazingly supportive, motivational and experienced PT. This woman knows her stuff and is excellent at working out what type of encouragement works for you as an individual. Rebecca is extremely knowledgeable in post-natal training and has guided me brilliantly, taking all my needs into consideration. The fact that she lets me bring my little boy to sessions and comes to the house to do sessions is a total game changer. I would 100% recommend Rebecca as a PT.

Ways to stream online video utilizing Sony BDP-S390 Blu-ray disc individual and Homestream computer system software application from Sony from Laptop computer. supply
16 thoughts on “Online video Streaming from Computer system to Television utilizing Homestream and Sony BDP-S390 Blu-ray Disc Gamer”

tu eres chileno 🙂
hi! do you know how to get the homestream now (feb,2015), when I looked over the internet it says that is no longer available to download, thanks in advance!
thank you, this works for me, i tried to use kooraroo and mezzmo, but this one its easy to use, and doesn't pause. muchas gracias amigo
Hi! Do you (or anyone else here) know how to stream to the TV a video that is not downloaded but is just playing on the computer? Thanks a lot in advance!
Thank you mister, this is what I was looking for.
Stop using Internet Explorer
Hi, how do you stream a ripped Bluray to your Bluray Player? I have a ripped bluray folder with Blu-ray structure.
Homecenter/Servioo it only shows m2ts file instead index.bdmv or playlists (mpls)
Are you able to play subtitles by playing only m2ts file?
Thanks a lot man.
This is what I was looking for. I had followed your instructions and it worked just fine.
Thanks a lot.
Awesome, but it won't play all of my movies. If it is in 1080p or 1080i and is bigger than 1.5 gigs then it won't play. Do you have any solutions. I have a asus N dual band wireless router.
Thanks
wtf are you streaming mp4 video files while you could stream mkv video files with subtitles in it.
firstoff i think you have a 802.11n modem right? so login on the modem and start using you 5Ghz band instead of the regular 2,4Ghz band. The 5Ghz band is wider and allow you to stream more data over the network. Mkv movies are up to 25mb/s but that the top usually they are around 15mb/s. hopefully your tv supports all the codes that a mkv movie could contain, (to be continued)
That's great to hear!
Thanks! I've had a Sony Streaming Player for about a year and now I just discover Homestream (thanks to you). All this time I've been transferring files back and forth via USB.

Camp Banting is Canada’s longest running camp for children living with type I diabetes. In 2018, we’ll welcome fifty-six children to join our camp family under the August sun. 2018 marks a major milestone for Camp Banting as it continues under its own sails as an independent camp for children living with type 1 diabetes. Camp Banting will continue with its existing medical leadership and volunteers intact; sourced from long-attending alumni. Camp Banting connects children with type 1 diabetes with other children and youth in their community who are living with the same diagnosis. Camp Banting creates a community of support where campers don’t feel the need to hide or explain their diabetes; they are free to play and grow as children, learning confidence and diabetes management in an organic way. Camp Banting also provides a community of support for parents and guardians of children living with diabetes. This localized community allows families going through similar experiences to support, grow, and learn from each other. Almost all of the Camp Banting counsellors live with diabetes, and were campers themselves. Their leadership reinforces our community and culture.
Camp Banting is now responsible for obtaining its own sponsorship and donations. Funds received through the CHEO Foundation go directly to helping Camp Banting’s diabetes camp program in Eastern Ontario. We use these donations to support children who otherwise couldn’t go to camp, and to create and implement a safe and positive camping experience for children living with type 1 diabetes. Please consider donating to help further our cause, and help to empower a child living with type 1 diabetes.

Rebuild Foundation, the arts, education and cultural development organization committed to transforming urban communities, on Tuesday, April 30, announced a $1.6 million grant award from Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Neighborhood Opportunity Fund to revitalize and repurpose the shuttered St. Laurence school into an arts and business incubator in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood.
The 40,000 square foot school will be transformed to include community spaces for art programming and art skill training and to provide artist work space. The revitalized St. Laurence School will accommodate varying kinds of artistic practices and will include a guild build school offering training and apprenticeships in painting, drawing, printmaking, milling, wood craftsmanship and product modeling for youth and adults.
“We are thrilled to receive this impactful grant from Mayor Emanuel’s Neighborhood Opportunity Fund,” said Theaster Gates, artist, activist and Executive Director of Rebuild Foundation. “This grant enhances our ability to support artists and artisans with important space, training and a variety of unique resources that do not currently exist anywhere else in our community, all while preserving and revitalizing a meaningful cultural asset right here in our neighborhood.”
The incubator will also house Tool, Tech and Fab labs, resources not often available to community members, and will enhance neighbors’ skills and employability, as well as artists’ craft and scope of work.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Neighborhood Opportunity Fund leverages development in and around the Chicago Loop to generate funds that will catalyze investment in Chicago’s underserved neighborhoods. Grants are awarded to projects that identify a gap in the services or goods provided in a neighborhood, enhance community wealth and build stronger neighborhoods.
“As one part of Chicago grows, we all grow together — that’s what the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund is all about,” Mayor Emanuel said. “Whether it’s coffee shops, black box theaters or family businesses, these investments on the South, Southwest and West sides are not only creating jobs and positive economic change, it’s also providing opportunities in neighborhoods where it’s been missing for far too long.”
Shuttered in 2002 and located in the South Side’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, the St. Laurence School sat vacant for over a decade before being purchased by Rebuild Foundation/Space Fund. The St. Laurence School is one of Rebuild Foundation’s many projects aimed at transforming urban communities through neighborhood revitalization and repurposing forgotten civic assets into cultural ame ities for the community.
The St. Laurence project is also part of Reimagining the Civic Commons, a national initiative aimed at revitalizing public spaces and connecting community members to civic assets. Reimagining the Civic Commons is a project made possible by the support of The JPB Foundation, Knight Foundation, The Kresge Foundation and The Rockefeller Foundation.
Rebuild Foundation will recruit and work with a variety of neighborhood partners in the arts, nonprofit and business fields to provide a range of entrepreneurial training programs tailored to individuals working in creative industries.

Thank you CRUSADER for keeping neighborhood news alive!

Probiotics are the microbial allies we rely on for a healthy digestive system. Here’s everything you need to know about microbes and your health before adding or modifying probiotics in your diet.
The digestive tract works like an assembly line in reverse. Instead of creating food, the digestive tract breaks it down into basic parts to make it easier to absorb and metabolize. As efficient as the digestive tract is, a large portion of the energy stored in food is not processed and metabolized by the human body. Undigested food travels through the intestinal tract and is often fermented and metabolized by the gut microbiome, the microscopic organisms that live within the digestive tract.
These microbes have the ability to digest and metabolize the food content we cannot as well as release absorbable nutrients, metabolites, and waste products. A number of these metabolites, such as vitamin K, cannot be produced by the human body yet are critical for our survival. Other metabolites have biological activity that can influence human health and behavior. Each of the thousands of species that comprise the gut microbiome can have unique consequences on health, depending on the host genetic makeup, environment, and the other components of the microbiome.
The nerve cells and fibers within the digestive tract are known as the enteric nervous system, and are connected to the brain and central nervous system. The vagus nerve is a major cranial nerve that connects the brain and the gut, as well as other organs. The gut microbiome and diet produce and contain metabolites that communicate with the brain and central nervous system via the vagus nerve as well as by alternative routes, including the circulatory, endocrine, and immune systems.
The Gut-Brain Link
The gut is highly involved with neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin—the chemicals that allow nerve cells to communicate with each other and the body. Dopamine is a major neurotransmitter, and a deficiency can lead to Parkinson disease. While 50 percent of the dopamine in the body is found in the brain, the other 50 percent is in the gut.
Serotonin is the major neurotransmitter involved in mood, with most antidepressants designed to work by increasing its levels. Only five percent of the serotonin of the body is found in the brain; the other 95 percent is found in the gut. There are more than 30 active neurotransmitters found throughout the enteric nervous system, underlying its importance and interconnection with the central nervous system. Many experts consider the gut to be the equivalent of a second brain.
The populations and varieties of organisms in the gut microbiome are staggering. To date, more than 5,000 different species have been identified, and some scientists expect the number may reach a million or more before the counting is complete. The populations and diversity vary by location within the gut, as well as age, diet, and a multitude of other factors. Much like a fingerprint, it appears that the gut microbiome may be unique for each individual. It can also be disrupted by illness, change in diet, and the ingestion of antibiotics.
Research into the consequences of each microbial species, and how it interacts with the unique genetic makeup of each individual, is just beginning. It will take many decades to fully understand the gut microbiome, and what is optimal for each individual. Modifying the microbiome by ingesting probiotics has become popular, and probiotic supplements are heavily marketed by manufacturers. For most individuals, the best approach is consuming a well-balanced, diverse diet that includes naturally fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickled vegetables..
