3 reasons Lakers must trade Russell Westbrook to Bulls for 2 All-Stars
By Sahil Kurup · 4 min read
After a disastrous start to the season, the Los Angeles Lakers are finally starting to look like a formidable opponent. Sure, they are the 13th seed in the Western Conference, but they are just 5.5 games back of the first seed, and 2.5 games back from the seventh seed. The Western Conference table will look a whole lot different by the All-Star break.
The Lakers have internally discussed the possibility of shipping Russell Westbrook and their 2027 and 2029 first round picks to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for two former All-Stars in DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic.
Here are 3 reasons why the Lakers should pull the trigger on this trade.
1. LeBron and AD have arrived
For years, Anthony Davis has been titled one of the most "talented" players in the league, but is often left off of "top-5 players in the league" lists. This year, he is finally starting to do the things we know he is capable of doing, lighting teams up in the paint with Defensive Player of the Year level play on the other end. Davis recently put up a ridiculous 55-point domination of the Washington Wizards, lurching his name forward into the MVP discussions.
Despite being in Year 20, LeBron has not missed a beat, averaging 25.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game. He has struggled shooting the ball from the outside, just 33.1 percent from beyond the arc, his lowest since the 2015-16 championship season, but he is still settling for tough jumpshots in an effort to preserve his body.
If LeBron is going to preserve his body, the Lakers' front office might as well put that to use. The Lakers are 7-3 in their last ten games — the 2020 championship formula is still proven. Get LeBron James and Anthony Davis healthy on the court together and they can beat anyone in the league. It's time for general manager Rob Pelinka to put a legitimate team around them and potentially make a Lakers trade.
2. The Bulls stars are solid fits
DeRozan may not shoot threes at a high clip, and the formula for LeBron-led teams have always been to surround "The King" with shooting, but DeRozan is elite at attacking closeouts. Teams will defend LeBron and Davis the same way no matter who's on the floor: pack the paint and make them kick. Russell Westbrook also cannot shoot the long ball efficiently, but has looked better recently attacking closeouts. DeRozan's ability to create his own shot from the midrange is something Westbrook simply does not bring, although he may not admit it.
A tandem of Davis and Vucevic in the front court could help the Lakers revert to their 2020 style of ball, two bigs suffocating the paint and crashing the glass. Vucevic has the ability to spread the floor for Davis to go to work in the post, as the Bulls center has connected on 34.8% of his 4.5 attempted threes per game. Vucevic does have defensive liabilites on the perimeter, but Davis is an All-NBA level defender, with the ability to clean up the mistakes. Head Coach Darvin Ham can also use Vucevic based on matchups night in and night out, sliding Davis to the 5 if Vucevic's defense becomes a real issue.

3. Westbrook has been better, but not good enough
It is time to give Russell Westbrook his props. It is not easy to go from being an MVP-level player to coming off the bench, just ask CarMelo Anthony. He has been extremely useful off the bench, providing that spark of energy when the Lakers have one of their patented slow starts out of the gate.
Despite the increase in productivity, it is still time for Pelinka to admit defeat with this Westbrook experiment. The Lakers hold a -6 net rating per 100 possessions with both LeBron and Westbrook on the floor. Westbrook has developed pick-and-roll chemistry with Davis, but there are still too many kinks to figure out between LeBron and Westbrook.
DeRozan provides much of what Westbrook brings, but with the ability to be a legitimate scoring threat as well. Do not forget his guy was a dark horse MVP candidate last season — the Lakers should be giddy at the opportunity to pull the trigger on such a trade and pair the Bulls star with LeBron and Davis.

8 Interesting Facts About Raphael, Master of the Italian Renaissance
By Jessica Stewart on June 30, 2020

When listing the great artists of the Italian Renaissance, it's impossible not to think of Raphael. He was a child prodigy brought to Rome in his mid-20s by the pope and trusted with painting some of the Vatican's most important rooms. From oil paintings and frescos to tapestries to architecture, Raphael was an artist who mastered anything that was thrown his way. It's no wonder that he, along with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, are responsible for shaping this era in art history.
In his short life, Raffaello Sanzio di Urbino left behind an incredible legacy. He quickly moved from his small town of Urbino to the heart of the Renaissance—Florence—before being summoned to Rome, where he would spend the rest of his life. While in Rome he would make a splash, charming his patrons and garnering commissions across the city.
After his death in 1520, his reputation only grew over time. His art was seen to embody the ideal beauty of the Renaissance and considered something to emulate by future generations. In fact, up through the turn of the 20th century, Raphael's popularity far surpassed that of Michelangelo and Leonardo. Today, Raphael's work is still appreciated for its balance of line, color, and composition. In fact, his four Stanze, painted for Pope Julius II, are highlights for the millions of people who visit the Vatican in Rome each year.

He is considered one of the masters of the High Renaissance
Raphael's reputation was already cemented during his lifetime and only increased after his death. His contributions to the development of art were recognized immediately and he—along with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci—is still considered one of the greatest masters of the Italian Renaissance.
He was admired for his well-rounded artistry, which saw him excel at history painting, religious painting, and portraiture. His mastery of composition and color continue to be influential to this day.

He grew up surrounded by culture
Today, when we think of the Italian Renaissance, great centers like Florence and Venice come to mind. But there were many towns across Italy that were also flourishing artistic centers thanks to small courts. This is true of Urbino, Raphael's hometown, where the mercenary Federico da Montefeltro ruled as duke from 1444 to 1482. Under his rule, Urbino flourished as a center of culture and learning.
Though Montefeltro would die before Raphael's birth, his heir Guidobaldo da Montefeltro and his wife Elisabetta Gonzaga would carry on his legacy throughout Raphael's youth.
His father was a painter
Raphael had art in his blood. His father, Giovanni Santi, was a court painter in Raphael's hometown. As such, Raphael most likely spent his formative years in contact with the court. Santi painted altarpieces and portraits for the court of Urbino, but died when Raphael was 11 years old. This left him an orphan, as his mother had passed when he was only eight years old.
Raphael was likely too young to have picked up much of his artistic practice from his father, but he certainly gained a great appreciation for the arts and humanism from an early age.

A master of the Early Renaissance was his teacher
By the time he was 17, Raphael was already considered a fully trained artist, but he wasn't yet ready to start his own practice. Instead, he followed the standard path of artists at the time and became an assistant in an established workshop.
In Raphael's case, this meant moving to the town of Perugia and working for one of the foremost masters of the early Renaissance—Pietro Perugino. Perugino was an early adopter of oil painting and found success working for Pope Sixtus IV to paint the walls of the Sistine Chapel.
Raphael's early style closely mimics Perugino, but Raphael soon surpassed his master. In fact, Perugino was originally asked by Pope Julius II to paint the Stanza of the Incendio del Borgo at the Vatican. However, he was soon passed over for Raphael, whose style the pope preferred. This choice would have a big impact on Raphael's career—that room is part of what is now collectively called the Raphael Rooms and include the iconic School of Athens.
Detail of Michelangelo as Heraclitus in Raphael's "The School of Athens"
Michelangelo was his rival
By the time Raphael arrived in Rome in 1508, Michelangelo had already been hard at work for Pope Julius II for three years. Eight years Raphael's senior and already established in his career, Michelangelo ended up working next door to the young upstart. Raphael was immediately put to work on the largest commission of his career, the Pope's library in the Stanza della Segnatura. At the same time, Michelangelo was working close by on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Raphael's painting technique garnered much attention and praise, to the dismay of Michelangelo. This sparked an intense rivalry between the artists, as Michelangelo thought that Raphael was copying him stylistically. In turn, Raphael painted Michelangelo into the School of Athens as the sulking philosopher Heraclitus.

He had a charming personality
In contrast with Michelangelo, who was known for his sullen and brooding nature, Raphael is remembered for his charming personality. His affable manner was perhaps cultivated during his time surrounded by the court of Urbino and certainly served him well. Not only did it earn him good standing with the elite who commissioned his work, but it also made him a great leader for his own team of artists.
Apparently, his charm also made him quite popular with the ladies. Through Raphael never married, he's known to have had many lovers. One of the most longstanding women in his life was Margherita Luti, a baker's daughter. His portrait of her, La Fornarina, is believed to have been in his studio when he died and now hangs at the Palazzo Barberini Museum in Rome.

He had a lot of assistants
Once Raphael became a master in his own right, he built up a studio of 50 assistants that was quite impressive. As was common practice at the time, his assistants were well trained to take his drawings and transform them into finished pieces in his name.
Raphael ran a well-oiled machine, which helped him make advances on his most important commissions. As the head of the team, he would delegate out work and make sure that the quality matched his standards. The efficiency of the team meant that they were able to carry out the commissions Raphael had been working on at the time of this death. In fact, the Sala of Constantine at the Vatican was not even begun until after Raphael had died. Instead, these paintings are the work of Raphael's top assistants, Giulio Romano, Gianfrancesco Penni, and Raffaellino del Colle, who executed them after his designs

He died young
Raphael packed a lot of living into his short life. He died on his 37th birthday for reasons that aren't entirely clear. Historians have listed pneumonia, pulmonary disease, and exhaustion from being overworked as possible theories. Whatever the reason, his early death was a tragedy.
In the two weeks leading up to his passing, he put his affairs in order and requested to be buried in the Pantheon. After a grand funeral that was attended by large crowds—including the Pope—his request was granted and it's still possible to visit his tomb today.

Veteran bassist of 30/70, Z*F*E*X, Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird and more, enigmatic composter and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Hayes returns with an album of twenty-two vignettes that draw upon loops, fragments, demo recordings and samples from his entire back catalog, creating a pastiche of lost fragments and memories that unite to form a seamless whole of ambient and experimental work. Bass guitar, drum kit, string sections, bells and more merge with vocal samples, field recordings, fragments of previous works and unheard demos to create a patchwork quilt of warm, hallucinatory compositions. This collection, titled Codeine Dream Loop, plays upon the hazy dream-like states that come upon us all at various times. Says Hayes - "I wanted to capture a bizarre phenomenon that I sometimes experience while sleeping, usually if I've taken some pain or cold medication where I get stuck into a dream loop. A weird thought pattern, memory or surreal dream scenario loops around and it's tricky to free myself of it!" Assembled at his studio in Coburg on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung people in late 2021, the record, like many seen this year, has been deeply influenced by Melbourne's extended lockdowns during various stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, a period that lasted a staggering total of 263 days in isolation. "I think that all that time spent in quietness out of the hustle and bustle and in self reflection inspired me to excavate the last 6 or so years of musical ideas into something new. And a collection of music that feels like a book-end on this period of my life." So we are presented with six years worth of fragments, recordings, ideas and dreams, a window into the first phase of an artist's career as a solo composer. The record is intimate to say the least, sometimes deathly quiet, sometimes breaking into song like a sunbeam through cloud. Samples on the record include guest appearances from many of Hayes' frequent collaborators: Joel Trigg, Josh Kelly, Hannes Lackmann and more. It was mixed by Hayes before being mastered by Joseph Buchan in Melbourne, also known for his own fragmentary work under the pseudonym Other Joe.

Q: Sleep function in javascript/node.js I am trying to create a "sleep" function where I like to wait 10 seconds before continue with next command.
This doesn't work. No sleep is occuring. How can I put it nicely in a function like I do below "sleep(10000)" which is possible to call?
console.log("Hello");
sleep(10000);
console.log("World!");
function sleep(ms) {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}
A: use then, so as to execute code once the promise has been resolved.
console.log("Hello");
sleep(10000).then(() => {
console.log("World!");
})
function sleep(ms) {
return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

CELEB COUPLES
Awkwafina's Aunt Had the Most Bizarre Response to Her Golden Globes Nomination
by Jamie Blynn | Fri., Dec. 13, 2019 5:24 AM
2020 Golden Globe Awards: Nominations List
This reaction to Awkwafina's 2020 Golden Globes nomination deserves an award of its own.
Earlier this week, the 31-year-old (born Nora Lum) scored a nod for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her role in The Farewell, albeit she was too busy sleeping to celebrate. "I had Korean barbecue the night before and it was very rich, so I fell asleep," she recalled on Thursday's Jimmy Kimmel Live. "I woke up and I saw, like, a flurry of messages kind of as I was waking up and I was like, 'Someone died.'"
Thankfully, those texts were actually filled with celebration and praise—and not mourning. Showing host Jimmy Kimmel her group chat called "Awkwafina Fan Club, naturally, the duo read off all the "OMGs" and "We're so proud" notes. And then there was a message from Aunt Linda.
"Seriously fam, curb yourself of gluten, grains and beans," Linda to wrote to the group. "Read up on lectin and how it poisons your body over time. And we all need to try intermittent fasting. Do the 16 hour fast and try to eat 1 meal a day. Or day every other day."

But wait, there's more nutritional advice coming.
"And cut out corn and soy even the organic kind," Awkwafina's aunt added. "The seeds are all gmo."
Craig Barritt/Getty Images For TIME
Ah yes, nothing says job well done like GMOs! "I don't want to be rained congratulations on," Awkwafina explained. "But it was just an odd text, I think." (As Kimmel joked, "There's always an Aunt Linda and she's always a bit of a nut.")
Needless to say, this relative won't be scoring an invite to the January awards show—and perhaps she should stay clear of any farmer's markets, too. "I think she yells at people at the farmer's market," joked the Crazy Rich Asians star. "She's that type. She's Aunt Linda!"
That bizarre (yet health conscious!) warning aside, the actress is relishing in her first Golden Globe nomination. (In the category, she's up against Ana de Armas, Cate Blanchett, Beanie Feldstein and Emma Thompson.)
"I am beyond grateful to the HFPA, and to be grouped with such insanely talented actresses," she said after the announcement on Monday. "I grew up watching the Golden Globes every year, cheering for my favorite films and actors...it is surreal that I now get to go! Wait, I do get to go right?"
Yes, she certainly does!
The 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards will air Sunday, Jan. 5, 2020 on NBC.

Adventures in Mongolia, by Kerik Kouklis
Talk, Slide Show and Documentary Film Screening
Wed. March 27 at 6:30 p.m., Viewpoint Photographic Art Center
Join exhibiting photographer, fledgling film maker and Viewpoint Board President Kerik Kouklis for a night celebrating Mongolia. Kerik will share stories and images from his expeditions. He will also screen a 30-minute documentary he produced in 2017, "Mongolia in Winter".
THE EXHIBIT: For as long as he can remember, Kerik Kouklis has liked to make stuff. He discovered early on that he really like to make photographs. Taking pictures and making prints has been part of Kerik's life ever since his dad set up a basement darkroom for him when he was twelve. Kerik would spend hours experimenting (and he says mostly failing) to make something interesting. But every once in a while, something good would result, leading him to continue my pursuit of the next good picture, the next good print. Kerik has never been in the "image is everything" camp of photography. It's important to him that the image takes the form of a physical object – something that can be touched, or held, or maybe even hung on a wall.
Kerik states that his job is to deliver the message, the mood, the thought, the emotion. The image is the starting place, and printmaking is the language. He makes all his prints in his darkroom, using hands-on processes — wet plate collodion, platinum/palladium and gum bichromate. These experience-based processes allow him to shape the way an image is interpreted – and they bring him the satisfaction of creating something with his own hands. To Kerik, that physical connection between maker and object confers value on both.
Kerik photographs the elements around him that he loves, or finds beautiful or fascinating. From the beginning, the Land has been his primary subject. Over time, friends and family have also found their way in front of his lens, often as characters transformed into different versions of themselves. And In recent years, Kerik has been drawn as well to create still lives of strange objects that present themselves as specimens, or as artifacts of some odd scientific study.
In the end, Kerik's one question to those who view his work would be: How does it make you feel?

BIO: Kerik Kouklis is a fine art photographer and educator who specializes in creating handmade photographs. Born and raised in California with a background in music and 30 years as an environmental geologist under his belt, Kerik combines a contemporary eye with 19th century processes to produce work that is uniquely his own. Influenced by the pictorialists of the early 20th century, he makes images that can be at once calm and unsettling. Working in a variety of formats from small digital cameras up to large view cameras, Kerik uses both film and digital negatives to create his prints. He is known as a skilled practitioner and teacher of the platinum/palladium process and the combined gum-platinum process. He has used these processes to create his work since 1990 and has been teaching workshops in these processes since 1997, both in his home studio and at various locations around the US, Canada and the UK. In 2004 Kerik began working with the wet plate collodion process which brought a new series of portraits and still-life images into his portfolio. These images are one-of-a-kind, made in-camera on aluminum or glass. Enlarged digital negatives are made from the original plates allowing the creation of handmade platinum/palladium and gum-platinum prints. Kerik's work is currently represented in California by Oficino Uno in Carmel, CA, the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite where he has been teaching hand-made photographic techniques since 2000 and Kevin Longino Fine Photographs in CT. His prints are held in private and corporate collections in North America and Europe as well as the Museum of Fine Art, Houston and the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts, Newcastle, Pennsylvania.

In the world of our campaign, most people know that workers of magic—witches, mages, warlocks, sorcerors, conjurers: all these names are interchangeable to common folk—tend to live in special buildings infused with magic… places into which it is dangerous for mere mortals to trespass.
They are right. But in adventuring circles, a little more is known of such places.
For example, that among mages, such a place is properly called a "Seclusium," for the seclusion is provides mages pursuing deep, prolonged magical study.
For another example, that it normally only becomes possible to trespass into such places when either the resident magic-worker either is absent, dead (or transcended to some other reality), or willingly allows the trespassers to come within.
"Ice Bamboo" by real-ghost-bear. Click for source.
Of the latter case, folktales abound: the hag who allows the wandering youths into her hut, only to consume them; the wizard who allows a party of adventurers the merest glimpse of the wonders of his tower, only to taunt them with the impossibility of going further, or to recruit them for some task; the sorceress who lures young men (or women) into her (awfully symbolic) caves in the mountains, only to trap them with her forever.
"Wizard's Tower" by FictionChick. Click to see source.
The former cases—of the seclusia of absent and dead magi—are more the stuff of adventurers' lore: the crumbling island temple where imprisoned spirit-servants and half-humanized beasts carry out tasks long-ago assigned to them, waiting for someone to stumble upon the place and set them free; the palace beneath a glacier where corpses dutifully stand guard—kept alive by the force of the magic used to bind them to this duty—while magical experiments continue, bubbling to final fruition though the mage who began them long ago passed from the world; and the wizard's tower, the perennial favorite, with its wonders and traps and surprises and hazards.
Among the endless tales of ruins and dungeons and wilderness horrors spun by campfires in the endless black of night, or by the cheery hearth of a cheap and welcoming tavern, the seclusium tale has an important place. There cannot be that many seclusia in all the world… yet every adventurer has at least one Seclusium Tale to tell.
Although surely embellished and changing over time, they are among the most terrifying, the strangest, and the very best of the tales adventurers tell one another… at least, the tales told by those who survive to tell them.

Lettuce aids digestion and promotes liver health. It can also reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and cataracts. Other research shows it helps to reduce the risk of cancer and may ease nervous insomnia.
However, if iceberg is the only type of lettuce you eat, you are choosing the least-nutritious member of a family of nutritional champions. Any other lettuce or leafy green vegetable would be a better choice ..
As a general rule, the darker green the leaves, the more nutritious the salad green. For example, romaine or watercress has seven to eight times as much beta-carotene, and two to four times the calcium, and twice the amount of potassium as iceberg lettuce.
"The vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and fiber found in romaine lettuce are especially good for the prevention or alleviation of many common health complaints," according to the website WHFoods.org.
"Due to its extremely low calorie content and high water volume, romaine lettuce — while often overlooked in the nutrition world — is actually a very nutritious food. Based on its nutrient richness, our food ranking system qualified it as an excellent source of vitamin A (notably through its concentration of the pro-vitamin A carotenoid, beta-carotene), vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, manganese, and chromium. Romaine lettuce also emerged from our ranking system as a very good source of dietary fiber and 6 vitamins and minerals."
By varying the greens in your salads, you can enhance the nutritional content as well as vary the tastes and textures.
Don't rip up lettuce leaves. Tearing and chopping releases ripening enzymes that sap the nutrients, according to scientists at the UK's Norwich Institute of Food Research. This strips away 94 percent of their cancer-fighting flavonoids.

Lakers-Magic Match Up Is a Puzzling One
By Jimmy Bramlett
Published Jun 3, 2009 11:00 PM

There's a reason it's taken me this long to talk about the NBA Finals. I have no idea how this will play out.
When I made the proclamation last week that the Magic would win in five games if they faced the Lakers in the Finals, the Lakers didn't look to hot. They were in the middle of feeling out the Denver Nuggets tying the series two games a piece. But the Lakers brought down the hammer capped with a 27-point victory in the decisive Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, and everything changed right there.
The Lakers in the Game 6 not only showed the world what they could do but also played perhaps their best game since the great teams earlier this decade. Although I did proclaim the Lakers would win in six, that performance left my jaw on the floor.
But the Magic didn't do shabby job themselves. In the second round they won a game seven against the defending champs Boston Celtics, and in the Eastern Conference Finals they dispatched the anointed one and the Cleveland LeBrons in six.
This is going to be a great match up, much better than a Cavaliers-Lakers match up would have been. The Lakers will have trouble guarding Dwight Howard and the Magic will have trouble guarding Pau Gasol. Those Magic shooters are tough to guard, but if you live by the three you have to die by the three.
Yes the Magic have won both match ups against the Lakers this season, both when Andrew Bynum was full strength. But the Lakers proved in that game six against Denver that they can turn up the intensity notch now.
So can you see how I'm torn?
Ultimately this will come down to a game seven. Call me a band wagon fan, a flip-flopper, whatever. Because the Lakers have home court advantage, the Lakers will win in seven.
Game 1 of the NBA Finals at the Staples Center tonight. TV: ABC. Radio: AM 570 KLAC.

PrevPreviousAdherence to Hydroxychloroquine Lowers Lupus Mortality
NextNoted hydroxychloroquine advocate Simone Gold, resorts to giving speech inside the Capitol during the riotNext
Source: TrialSiteNews Author: Mary Beth Pfeiffer
She is a gynecologist. He is a surgeon. They are married and both 77 years old.
In mid-November, they were diagnosed with COVID-19, first her, then him. Their paths diverge at this point, but not to worry.
She took the drug hydroxychloroquine. He took ivermectin. They are both well now – walking, golfing, doing yoga — seven weeks later.
The couple's brush with COVID might have ended very differently. In the United States, patients 75 to 84 years old die at 220 times the rate of adults under 30. But these two elderly, otherwise healthy physicians live in India. They were able to get early home treatment that is virtually, and unconscionably, unheard of in many western countries.
"Without any treatment, we know that the virus enters the cells and replicates there," Dr. Makarand Paranjpe told me by phone from his home in Pune, where he had quarantined through a fever and other symptoms. "They can create disease that gets much more severe." Which, of course, is the point of treating early. Stop the progression. ASAP.
From the outset, India, a nation of both economic vigor and poverty, knew it had to act decisively. It did. India locked down early and long; it promoted masks, tested millions, and, as with the Pune couple, treated the infected early.
Ten months into its battle with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, India is on track to become an unexpected warrior in the fight against this global pandemic. Although the densely populated nation has four times the population of the U.S., India has less than half the U.S. COVID deaths. And India isn't just beating the poorly performing U.S. In all, 98 nations have higher death rates than India.
It may be tempting to attribute this startling news to imperfect data from a developing country. But doctors in India, Indian press reports, and even the Wall Street Journal have taken note of a sea change in COVID there. "In September, India was reporting almost 100,000 COVID-19 cases a day, with many predicting it would soon pass the U.S. in overall cases," the WSJ wrote on Dec. 30. "Instead, its infections dropped and are now at one-fourth that level."
Dr. Anil K. Chaurasia, a physician in Lucknow, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, watched this trend unfold. Starting about mid-September, "a clear decline in COVID cases and fatalities in India was noticeable," he told me in a text message. The "steep decline in cases and fatalities is still continuing."
Like a lot of western reporting, the WSJ article held fast to an accepted COVID theme. The Indian miracle was due to masks, it asserted, since they are worn by 88 to 95 percent of a population "bombarded" with public-service reminders. The article cited German research that showed masks work.
Fair enough. However, many factors are likely at play in India, including its painful yet supported national shutdown and individual state efforts at contact tracing and testing. But a pivotal role in any illness is surely the availability of treatments to resolve illness before crisis.
Late last March, as the U.S. argued over the merits of Trump-endorsed hydroxychloroquine and studies failed in late-stage patients, India decided to recommend the drug in its national guidelines. HCQ "should be used as early in the disease course as possible…and should be avoided in patients with severe disease," the directives wisely state. As a precaution, authorities suggested an EKG to monitor for a rare heart arrhythmia that several COVID studies have since shown to be minimal.
The Power Of One State
But a crucial turn for India may have come in August when the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh recommended use of another drug: Ivermectin, which is coming on fast as a leading COVID treatment — without the baggage of at-turns effective but vilified hydroxychloroquine.
This was no small move. Were it a country, U.P.'s more than 230 million citizens would rank it fifth worldwide. As India's largest state, its embrace of ivermectin may have changed the treatment landscape across India.
"This authentication of ivermectin revived the faith of people," Dr. Chaurasia told me, "and net result was a massive inclination to take these drugs" — both ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
By the end of 2020, Uttar Pradesh — which distributed free ivermectin for home care — had the second-lowest fatality rate in India at 0.26 per 100,000 residents in December. Only the state of Bihar, with 128 million residents, was lower, and it, too, recommends ivermectin.
But Uttar Pradesh did more than treat 300,000 mild cases at home through 2020; it also opted to use ivermectin to prevent infection. It seems a young health officer's COVID response teams had taken the drug and remained well – something prophylaxis studies support. U.P. then had contacts of COVID patients take it, with similar success. "Recognizing the sense of urgency," Amit Mohan Prasad, a U.P. health official, wrote in a Dec. 30 article, "we decided to go ahead."
Such urgency is in short supply in the U.S., where the single-minded focus is on vaccination. Nonetheless, a group of doctors called Frontline COVID Critical Care Alliance is pressing for adoption of ivermectin immediately as an adjunct and bridge to vaccination. Its logic is twofold: Ivermectin has a known safety profile, as a life-saving drug given to millions since the 1980s, and 46 COVID studies, including 18 peer-reviewed, have shown "high efficacy."
However, even India is holding back, perhaps temporarily. The Indian Council of Medical Research declined in October to recommend ivermectin nationwide, citing, as other such entities have, the need for more data. Similarly, COVID guidelines in bordering Bangladesh make no mention of the drug, despite successful studies done there.
In India, premier medical centers have, nonetheless, adopted it. In Bangladesh, doctors are using combination ivermectin/doxycycline therapy for home care, as are major hospitals in Dhaka for inpatients.
"The economy is flying," Dr. Tarek Alam, who led several studies on the drug's efficacy, told me in an email. "Hospitals have empty COVID beds and the initial demand for ICU has come down." Indeed, Bangladesh – the world's most densely populated country — has an even lower fatality rate than India, ranking 126th globally.
Tipping Point?
Significantly, ivermectin received a tentative endorsement recently in research funded by the World Health Organization-hosted program Unitaid. After analyzing 11 randomized control studies, Dr. Andrew Hill concluded: "If we see these same trends consistently across more studies, then this really is going to be a transformational treatment."
The agency is publicly acknowledging movement. "Preliminary data is promising," Herve Verhoosel, a spokesman, wrote in a statement, "but there is the need to await the results of further trials before determining next steps."
More information is always better. But at what point, in a pandemic, is there enough?
Last spring, when COVID was new, Dr. Dhananjay Bakhle, an M.D. in pharmacology in Pune, observed something. "Many doctors were afraid to use HCQ," he told me. "I was appalled since the solution was available." He began treating infections among 15,000 workers of the pharmaceutical company where he directs medical research. Just 3 of 270 patients were hospitalized; he said, and none died.
"I trusted HCQ from the beginning," Bakhle told me, "and I didn't trust ivermectin." He was unsure both of dosing and how the anti-parasitic drug worked. So he did studies in his own laboratory, to test the drug's anti-viral mechanism, that he hopes to publish. "I changed my mind about Ivermectin in the last three to four months."
Still, he sees HCQ as his top choice, while adding ivermectin frequently. He uses the drug alone when HCQ is contraindicated.
That was the case with his cousin Dr. Paranjpe, who Bakhle treated in consultation with another physician.
Did the drug make the difference for him, I asked Dr. Paranjpe.
"I can't pinpoint if it was because of ivermectin," he said. He also took doxycycline, zinc, aspirin, quercetin and, starting on day nine, the steroid dexamethasone for inflammation. While his wife, Meera, had a mild and quickly resolved infection with HCQ, he suffered through days of low fever and body pain. Paranjpe may not know for sure what worked, but he does know this: He was happy to get early treatment at home In India. "Definitely, it is helping," he said.
A few days later he emailed an update. "Meera and myself, we both are feeling completely normal," he wrote. "There are no residual symptoms."
I'll end this with the Worldometer COVID statistics for Jan. 7, 2021.
New Cases: 18,106
New Deaths: 234
New Cases: 279,154
New Deaths: 4,207

TrialSite Editor Comment
Importantly, the national laws, cultures and approaches are in fact, quite different between India and the United States. As TrialSite is a United States-based digital media platform, importantly we share that the proper path forward for acceptance of a new treatment approach is via the National Institutes of Health (NIH) COVID-19 Protection Treatment Guidelines. TrialSite doesn't endorse any particular approach but rather seeks to provide unbiased, independent news, information and opportunity to bring more transparency and accessibility to research, with the aim of advancing biomedical research to benefit all humanity.
Currently, Ivermectin is recommended only for research and has a rating of AIII. Although we have been constructively critical of what is a national research treasure, TrialSite recently commended the Panel for inviting members of the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) and Dr. Andrew Hill, a consultant associated with the University of Liverpool in the UK, to present their findings to date.
This was an important milestone as the Panel associated with that apex national research agency now looks into the accumulating data. The NIH's Panel will hopefully consider risk-based approaches (much like they have done with highly novel monoclonal antibodies), seeking a way to ensure early-stage treatment in combination with the vaccine rollout over the next year.
In parallel, other mission-critical agencies such as the Department of Defense could potentially benefit from economical approaches to both pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as well as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). We encourage multiple pathways toward that end, from promising research from AstraZeneca (AZD7442—originating from some brilliant researchers at Vanderbilt and the company) to innovative approaches such as the large United Health and Lilly home-based clinical trial to the potential of Ivermectin as a generic treatment.
Fully overcoming COVID-19 in the USA necessitates a combination of more harmonized behavior (e.g., social distancing, masks, etc., across the 50 states) plus effective early stage as well as later-stage treatments and, of course, the vaccines. With two vaccines currently authorized on an emergency basis, other promising ones could be underway sooner rather than later.
The broader economy, society as well as health and vitality of the nation—one that importantly sets a precedent for so many positive forces around the world— benefits from an open, proactive, and progressive approach that includes a dynamic interchange between research, regulatory, the clinic and caregiver—driven by an unbiased recognition of the accumulating data inspired by the most rational of decision making. The NIH made such a move the other day.
Related: The results of a meta-analysis of 187 studies treating COVID-19 successfully with hydroxychloroquine are statistically irrefutable.

Who are Michigan's 17 superdelegates, and which candidate are they supporting?
Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, left, and Bernie Sanders, right.
Depending on who you ask, referring to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is either obvious or massively premature.
Members of the Democratic National Committee who will serve as unbound delegates at the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
Also known as "superdelegates," these DNC members have no obligation to support either candidate regardless of the result of the nominating contest in their home states, and a vast majority of them have indicated they'll support Clinton.
Seventeen superdelegates come from Michigan, a group comprising a wide range of influencers within the Democratic National Committee, including the state's full Democratic congressional delegation, labor leaders and education advocates.
Of Michigan's 17 superdelegates, 12 have pledged support to Clinton, and none so far have indicated they'll support Sanders, though he took 49.8% of the vote to Clinton's 48.3% in the state's presidential primary March 8.
He may have won Michigan's Democratic primary in March, but now Sanders' campaign wants to make sure the delegates he won, actually stick with him.
"We need to ensure delegates committing to Bernie are 100% committed Bernie supporters who will not change their vote during the second or third rounds of voting at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July," an email sent Tuesday from the Michigan for Bernie campaign states.
Arab American voters seem to have played a vital role in handing Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders an upset victory in Tuesday's Democratic presidential primary.
The results show Sanders won in handily in many precincts with large Arab-American populations, particularly in the city of Dearborn.
Bernie Sanders pulled off an upset win over rival Hillary Clinton in Michigan's Democratic primary.
Polls going into Tuesday indicated that Clinton had a double-digit lead over Sanders -- so much for the polls.
Sanders took 49.9% of the vote. Clinton took 48.2%.

In "Lost In The Blue," the airy and captivating vocals soar over the synth progressions and solidify the emotion of the track. The single is a melodic, catchy, but still bass-heavy, showcasing a unique sad-feeling deep house vibe. Thanks to the recruitment of Nevve, this infectious radio-ready track is sure to make a impact.
Since 2014, the Polish artist known as Sikdope has made a name for himself with his versatility. From trap bangers and punishing bass house to melodic progressive tracks, he has built his foundation, in part, on keeping fans guessing. His following is growing exponentially, and with releases on Spinnin', Fly Eye, and Tiesto's Musical Freedom, his mark on the industry has been clearly made and will continue to do so.

In Templederry, in the girls under 12 Mary Ellen Phelan captured a gold medal while Daniel Hanrahan won a silver medal in the same section. This is a great achievement for a club which was formed two years ago. Great credit must go to Gerry Drennan for all the hard work in making the club so successful.

Requiem mass was in Urlingford prior to interment in Johnstown. May she rest in peace.

Farewell Rev Ian - The Church of Ireland Community of Fertagh comprising the areas of Johnstown, Kilcooley, Littleton and Crohane came together in great numbers in St Mary's Hall, Johnstown recently to bid farewell to their pastor of 5 years Rev Ian Cruckshank. A proud Scotsman he was led into the hall by a piper from the Littleton Pipe Band.
Several presentations were made to Rev Ian and his wife Donna including a framed family portrait with a picture of the four churches in each corner. Many tributes were paid to him by several guest speakers including some neighbouring catholic clergy.
Mr Henry Miller, a church warden pointed out many firsts attributed to Rev Ian - first minister in the parish with children, first with a beard, first to milk cows, first with a motorbike, first to play table tennis dressed in a shirt and skirt as a lady player! The first to take part in shave or dye and the first Church of Ireland Chaplain to Colaiste Mhuire. Lots of music was provided by musicians from Graine, Kilcooley and Gortnahoe and lashings of goodies by the ladies.
Earlier in the day Rev Ian attended his last function - a Confirmation ceremony in Kilcooley, also attended by the Bishop Right Rev Michael Burrows. Rev Ian, his wife Donna and their 4 children are wished all the very best in his new appointment in Ballygally in The Diocese of Armagh.

On March 4 just after midnight the Tomball Fire Department was dispatched to the Goodwill Donation and Processing Center located at 28541 Tomball Parkway for an automatic fire alarm.
According to the Tomball Fire Marshall, while responding to the alarm, firefighters received additional information that a water flow sensor and a smoke detector had activated. Arriving on location within four minutes, firefighters gained entry using the Knox key box system.
Firefighters were met with light smoke. Upon further investigation they located the source of the smoke which was coming from a small fire at A processing workstation.
The automatic fire sprinkler head directly above the fire had activated and extinguished the fire. The fire was contained to the workstation.
The Tomball Fire Marshal's Office was called to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire. With the assistance of Goodwill Loss Prevention, they were able to review video surveillance and confirm the origin of the fire. The cause continues to be under investigation at this time. The fire appears to be accidental.
When management arrived they were surprised to learn that only the fire sprinkler head above the fire was the only sprinkler head that activated unlike what people see in the movies.
Damage was estimated at $2,500. Property value saved is estimated at $1.2 million. A 2012 remodel was completed to this building of more than 20,000 square feet.

Preds use massive comeback to beat Blues
The Predators and Blues faced off at Bridgestone Arena for the first time this season.
Preds use massive comeback to beat Blues The Predators and Blues faced off at Bridgestone Arena for the first time this season. Check out this story on Tennessean.com: https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nhl/predators/2018/02/13/nashville-predators-vs-st-louis-blues-score-nhl-central-division-standings/325074002/
Adam Vingan, USA TODAY NETWORK — Tennessee Published 9:49 p.m. CT Feb. 13, 2018 | Updated 10:09 a.m. CT Feb. 14, 2018
Predators left wing Filip Forsberg (9) celebrates his penalty shot goal during an overtime period to win over the Blues 4 to 3 at Bridgestone Arena Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018 in Nashville, Tenn. (Photo: George Walker IV / Tennessean.com)
This much we know — whichever team wins the Central Division this season will have survived a hardcore slugfest.
Count the Predators and St. Louis Blues, opponents Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena, among that collection of Western Conference heavyweights. With valuable standings points at stake, there was no holding back between two teams that already had a strong distaste for each other.
The Predators' colossal comeback, sealed by forward Filip Forsberg's penalty shot goal in overtime, won't improve relations with their division rivals. Their 4-3 win, however, could have a significant impact on how the Central Division ultimately unfolds.
Here are three observations from Tuesday's victory:
Third-period pushback
The Predators certainly were pleased to gather six of eight points on their road trip last week, but they also understood that their overall performance was inadequate.
Compared to Tuesday's no-show through two periods, those road games would be considered an improvement. The Predators' execution in all areas lacked crispness. Down 1-0 at the start of the second period, the Predators were outshot 16-3, giving up two more goals and mounting little offensive pressure.
As they have in recent games, though, the Predators were able to salvage a lackluster effort Tuesday, scoring three times in 6:42 during the third period. Forward Austin Watson scored the second and third goals in a 1:15 span, sending the team to overtime for the fifth consecutive game.

Rinne responsible for win

The goaltending matchup Tuesday added another layer of intrigue. Pekka Rinne, who is having a Vezina Trophy-worthy season for the Predators, faced Carter Hutton, his former backup of three seasons who is posting career numbers this season with the Blues.
Other than letting Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester, not known for his offensive prowess, rip a shot on the rush past him in the first period, Rinne was exquisite Tuesday. He is largely responsible for the Predators' comeback, bailing out his teammates again with several big saves.
Rinne has one regulation loss in 12 starts since Jan. 2 (10-1-1, 1.96 goals-against average, .934 save percentage). His 11-game unbeaten streak (10-0-1) is the second-longest of his career.
Hutton handled a relatively light workload in the first two periods, facing 16 shots. The Predators fired 15 at him in the third period, scoring their three goals by crashing the crease.

Predators eyeing March return for Fisher
The Predators are targeting an early March debut for Mike Fisher, general manager David Poile said Tuesday.
"I can't wait to see him play for us," Poile said. "We think that's probably (going to be) closer to March 1. ... Probably a couple more weeks for Mike, but as he's stated himself, he feels real good."
To be eligible to play this season, Fisher must sign a contract by Feb. 26. Roster limits disappear on that date, so the Predators wouldn't have to remove a player from their active roster to accommodate Fisher.
Asked if he's inclined to wait until Feb. 26 for that reason, Poile didn't disregard the notion.
"To me, I think it's just going to line up correctly," he said. "We're not trying to rush him. I don't think he's ready to play. I think it's just by good luck it's going to work out in the right way."

Director Todd Phillips Disputes Report on 'Joker 2' and DC Movies
Claire Epting Published: November 22, 2019
Yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter dropped news that a sequel to Todd Phillips' box-office smash Joker was "in the works." As it turns out, that's not entirely true. In a recent interview with Indiewire, Phillips insists that the meeting on October 7 where a sequel was allegedly discussed never even happened:
Here's the real truth about a sequel. While Joaquin and I have talked about it, and while touring the world with Warner Bros executives — going to Toronto, and Venice, and other places — of course, we're sitting at dinner and they're saying, 'So, have you thought about…?' But, talking about contracts, there's not a contract for us to even write a sequel, we've never approached Joaquin to be in a sequel. Will that happen? Again, I just think the article was anticipatory at best.
So what exactly does all this mean? It means that it will be quite some time before a serious conversation with Warner Bros. about a sequel is ready to take place. Phillips originally pitched Joker as part of a "DC Black Label" — based on the publishing imprint of the same name — that would feature multiple characters' gritty origin stories, but the idea was shot down.
None of this means a sequel will never happen. In fact, Joaquin Phoenix fashioned his own mock Joker sequel posters to show Todd Phillips he was serious about continuing his role. "A movie doesn't make a billion dollars and they don't talk about a sequel," Phillips said to IndieWire. That's all for now, folks.

New procedure uses staples to treat scoliosis
HOUSTON But for decades, if doctors found a curve in the spine, there was only one option: surgery to put rods in child's back to straighten the spine. But now, there's something brand new: staples.
When she was only six years old, Jordyn English had scoliosis so badly that the doctors gave her parents some really bad news: to straighten her spine, she'd need to wear a back brace for 6 years and then have scoliosis surgery to put rods in her back.
"I thought there has to be something better than that," said her father, Jason English.
And they found it in staples.
"This is what it looks like and it shaped like a 'C,'" said Shriners Hospital for Children Dr. Rex Marco, who is also Jordyn English's orthopedic surgeon.
They use staples to straighten the spine instead of the standard rods and screws.
"We staple this bone to that bone and this bone to that bone," Dr. Marco said. "So it can grow, and it can straighten out the spine even more as the child grows."
But it was only available at the Shriners hospital in Philadelphia. But that surgeon decided to do Jordyn English's surgery at Shriners in Houston and teach it to a dozen or so doctors here.
"I was asleep for 7 hours that's how long it took but it felt like one second," Jordyn English said.
"Once we saw the X-Rays, it's amazing to see what she was and even what she is now this quickly after the surgery," Jason English said. "It's great."
After the surgery, the size of Jordyn English's scoliosis curve was reduced from 33 degrees to 18. The staples look like a row of C's. Surgeons also needed to use one rod.
Her mother, Stacey English, was especially relieved. She has scoliosis too.
"She can play sports and she can do anything, unlike the rod back in my day they were gonna put in my back," Stacey English said.
"And I have a brace, and it's hard," Jordyn English said.
She will wear that brace about six months.
And her parents, who wouldn't accept the status quo, ending up bringing something better for the kids in Texas who have scoliosis -- just like their daughter.
Jordyn English was the first child in Texas to have the staple surgery for scoliosis. Doctors say one advantage is that they can use it to treat children much earlier, before the curve in their spine gets so bad.

The approach was quite different from other events, where speed is usually essential. It was a definitely a case of 'slow and steady wins the race'.
The Letaba Endurance Riding Club (Letaba Uithourit Klub) organised a horse riding endurance event in Mokopane on September 8 and 9. Many local riders hooked up their trailers and headed across to take on competitors from far and wide.
A total of 55 entries were received which included riders from Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Gauteng .
Competitors had a choice between a 80 km or 120 km endurance rides which catered for different aged groups.

Pile on the Pancakes, Please!
Happy Sunday, Ono addicts! Wow, what a week it's been! As editor of Dining Out, I give my heart, soul and stomach to this publication. It's a pleasure each week to bring you some of the best eats the island has to offer, while also sharing my experiences with you — which, this week, means taking on a crazy challenge (all will be revealed soon enough).
Fueled by my passion for food, I set out on a serious pursuit of pancakes. Ah yes, all I yearned for were fluffy flapjacks fresh off the griddle. And boy, did the following OYK (Ono, You Know) hot spots provide. I put my eating abilities to the test and took on MAC 24/7's MAC-Daddy Pancake Challenge (that was fun!), had dessert for breakfast at Big City Diner (Apple pie and chocolate chips in pancake form, anyone?) and relished the classics at Kenny's Restaurant.
Go ahead, read on … this is something you won't wanna miss!
"Go Big or go home!" That would be my mantra for the next 82 minutes as I laid it all on the line to take on MAC 24/7's famed "MAC-Daddy Pancake Challenge." Attempted by many, conquered by few, the challenge before me was to eat three 14-inch pancakes topped with "Hot and Wild" blueberries smothered in vanilla glaze in 90 minutes or less without leaving my seat. It was me against the world … OK, not exactly, but a giant mound of pancakes — a whopping 5 pounds, to be exact!
"Executive chef James Aptakin revamped the original pancake recipe by sprucing it up with special European ingredients, butter being one of them. After experimenting with close to 30 recipe styles, we were left with the perfect pancake," says Mark Nelsen, director of restaurants for Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel.
While I was trying not to psych myself out, Nelsen started the clock. My strategy? All hands, baby! A fork and knife would just get in the way.
The editor accepts MAC 24/7's MAC-Daddy Pancake Challenge.
I wolfed down the first pancake in a little less than 10 minutes. If I kept up this pace, I'd finish the dish in no time. Rolling the second pancake into burrito form, it was "bite, chew, sip on water" from here on out. Occasionally, I'd scoop up a mouthful of blueberries to break up the starchy monotony, and 40 minutes later it was demolished. I was obviously slowing down, but that didn't deter me. The pancakes were amazing, and I had one pancake to go with 30 minutes left on the clock. "I've got this," I told myself.
Now, the challenge turned grueling. I needed an intervention besides water, so I busted out my headphones and music and blasted the volume to pump me up and get my adrenaline going. It worked. My plate was almost empty, but each bite was a feat. I was stuffed, yet I had come so far and giving up definitely wasn't an option. Three more bites to go.
I won't tell you what happened next because it wasn't a pretty sight… but I did walk away with an official winner shirt!
Let's just say that for a girl of my size Man v. Food's Adam Richman would be proud. MAC-Daddy Pancakes costs $22 for two people and an extra $2.50 per person beyond that. For the champs, the pancakes are on the house.
MAC 24/7, known for its enormous portions of gourmet comfort food, also offers Red Velvet Pancakes, Mac-Attack and Shortstack (gluten-free) for all pancake lovers.
By now you'd think I'd have my fill of pancakes, right? Wrong! Big City Diner was next on my list of pure pancake indulgence. Revered for its classic local favorites and all-American comfort food, BCD can feed an army with its heaping portions of onolicious kanack-attack fare. The restaurant opened for business back in 1998 in Kaimuki. It's since expanded to Ward, Kailua, Waipio and Pearlridge.
When famished, pancakes are a cure-all first thing in the morning. Hot from the griddle, BCD features Old Fashioned Pancakes (short stack $4.49, big stack $4.99) with whipped butter and maple syrup — an original that stands the test of time. Our Big Pancake Sandwich ($8.99) is just that — the ultimate breakfast sandwich that presents a sublime feast of farm-fresh eggs, savory strips of bacon, link sausage and two "BIG" pancakes.
Dessert for breakfast? Yup, that's how. Roasted Macadamia Nut Pancakes with Haupia Creme Sauce ($7.99 big stack, $6.99 "not so big") is a prized pick, as is Guava Haupia Pancakes with toasted Coconut Flakes ($7.99), a former restaurant special. Yet, I'm torn between Murphy's Famous Apple Pancakes ($9.99) and BIG Daddy Chipper ($5.99 big stack, $5.49 "not so big"). Murphy's Famous Apple Pancakes is apple pie for breakfast. Whole, chilled Granny Smith apples are cored, peeled, sliced, and placed atop three grilled golden-brown pancakes drizzled with warm cinnamon sauce and a load of whipped cream. Man, oh man, now that's my kind of breakfast. And who are you calling "big daddy"? Obviously, BIG Daddy Chipper, a chocoholic's eternal love defined by Hershey's chocolate chip pancakes piled high with a legit helping of whipped cream.
Lastly, Kenny's Restaurant in Kamehameha Shopping Center joins the pancake frenzy with hotcakes of its own. Patrons receive a full stack for $5.99 or a short stack for $4.99. The pancakes are ono as is and don't require a lot of fancy toppings. According to Kenny's president and owner John Fujieki Jr., the restaurant's special pancake mix is robust in flavor, and when put on the griddle creates the perfect consistency of fluffiness. For $2 more, have your choice of toppings, be it fresh strawberries, blueberries or bananas.
Then, build your very own Pancake Sandwich ($7.99) with one egg (any style), two hotcakes and choice of bacon or ham (additional eggs and breakfast meat can be added at an additional cost).
Serving kamaaina since 1966, Kenny's holds the recipe for success.

Grady Booch (born February 27, 1955) is an American software engineer, best known for developing the Unified Modeling Language (UML) with Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh. He is recognized internationally for his innovative work in software architecture, software engineering, and collaborative development environments.
Grady booch enjoy the beauty of what you re doing but also take responsibility
Career and research
IBM 1130
Booch method
IBM Research Almaden
Booch earned his bachelor's degree in 1977 from the United States Air Force Academy and a master's degree in electrical engineering in 1979 from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Booch served as Chief Scientist of Rational Software Corporation since its founding in 1981 and through its acquisition by IBM in 2003, where he kept working until March, 2008. Afterwards he became Chief Scientist, Software Engineering in IBM Research, and series editor for Benjamin Cummings.
Booch has devoted his life's work to improving the art and the science of software development. In the 1980s, Booch wrote one of the more popular books on programming in Ada. Grady Booch is best known for developing the Unified Modeling Language with Ivar Jacobson and James Rumbaugh in the 1990s.
Booch got his first exposure to programming on an IBM 1130.
... I pounded the doors at the local IBM sales office until a salesman took pity on me. After we chatted for a while, he handed me a Fortran [manual]. I'm sure he gave it to me thinking, "I'll never hear from this kid again." I returned the following week saying, "This is really cool. I've read the whole thing and have written a small program. Where can I find a computer?" The fellow, to my delight, found me programming time on an IBM 1130 on weekends and late-evening hours. That was my first programming experience, and I must thank that anonymous IBM salesman for launching my career. Thank you, IBM.
Booch developed the Booch method of software development, which he presents in his 1991/94 book, Object Oriented Analysis and Design. He advises adding more classes to simplify complex code. The Booch method is a technique used in software engineering. It is an object modeling language and methodology that was widely used in object-oriented analysis and design. It was developed by Booch while at Rational Software.
The notation aspect of the Booch method has now been superseded by the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which features graphical elements from the Booch method along with elements from the object-modeling technique (OMT) and object-oriented software engineering (OOSE).
Methodological aspects of the Booch method have been incorporated into several methodologies and processes, the primary such methodology being the Rational Unified Process (RUP).
Booch is also an advocate of design patterns. For instance, he wrote the foreword to Design Patterns, an early and highly influential book in the field.
IBM Research - Almaden
He now is part of IBM Research - Almaden, serving as Chief Scientist for Software Engineering, where he continues his work on the Handbook of Software Architecture and also leads several projects in software engineering that are beyond the constraints of immediate product horizons. Grady continues to engage with customers working on real problems and maintains deep relationships with academia and other research organizations around the world. Grady is one of the original authors of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and was also one of the original developers of several of Rational's products. Grady has served as architect and architectural mentor for numerous complex software-intensive systems around the world in just about every domain imaginable.
Grady Booch published several articles and books. A selection:
In 1995 he was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. He was named an IBM Fellow in 2003, soon after his entry into IBM, and assumed his current role on March 18, 2008. He was recognized as an IEEE Fellow in 2010. In 2012, the British Computer Society announced Booch would receive the Lovelace Medal and give the 2013 Lovelace Lecture. He gave the Turing Lecture in 2007.

"The Tale of Two Bad Mice" is as lively and funny today as it was when it was first written. See the chaos that ensues when Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca, two naughty little mice, creep into Lucinda and Jane's doll's house one morning. They are not happy to discover that the delicious food is made of plaster and won't come off the plates, or that the canisters on the dresser don't contain real rice and coffee, only coloured beans! They set about taking things to make their little home more comfortable, but end up creating a terrible mess. What will happen when the dolls come home from their walk in the park?
The Tale of Tom Kitten is set in the cottage garden Beatrix created herself at Hill Top, the farm she owned near the village of Sawrey. Tom and his sisters look so smart in their new clothes. When their mother sends them outside while she waits for her visitors, she couldn't possibly guess what kind of mess they are going to get themselves into!
Peter Rabbit's cousin, Benjamin Bunny, has been a very popular character since this book's first publication in 1904. In this tale we hear all about his and Peter's adventures in Mr McGregor's vegetable garden, and what happens to them when they meet a cat! Even more frightening, is what happens to the two pesky bunnies when Old Mr Benjamin Bunny finds out what they have been up to!
This stunning collector's edition of Beatrix Potter's classic tale has a gold-foil jacket and is published to celebrate the centenary of the book's publication in 1912. The Tale of Pigling Bland tells the story of this brave young pig and his hapless brother, Alexander, as they set off to market and become hopelessly lost thanks to Alexander's high-spirited games. with great courage and wisdom, Pigling Bland manages to evade the clutches of a farmer and a grocer who wish to make him into bacon and ham. Along the way he also rescues a damsel in distress and together they run off - over the hills and far away.
It tells the story of a very mischievous rabbit and the trouble he encounters in Mr McGregor's vegetable garden!
Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes is a sequel to Beatrix Potter's first rhyme collection.
Ginger and Pickles (a terrier and a ginger cat) kept a very popular shop. Their customers loved to buy their provisions there, but they were less keen to pay for them and ran up a gret deal of credit, making poor Ginger and Pickles lives very difficult indeed.
Mrs Tittlemouse is a terribly tidy little wood mouse. She is always sweeping her burrow, polishing and tidying. It is an endless job and it seems that no sooner has she made a good start than another messy visitor appears to leave their muddy footprints everywhere.Beatrix Potter had in her youth made beautiful microscopic studies of insects, and this knowledge enabled her to produce delightful pictures of the many uninvited guests, from spiders to bees, found in Mrs. Tittlemouse's underground home.
Do you ever feel that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence? Well, so did Johnny Town-Mouse and Timmy Willie. One was a town mouse and one was a country mouse, and when they end up in each other's worlds they soon discover that they were much happier where they started!
The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher endures as one of Beatrix Potter's most popular and well-loved tales. It tells of an optimistic and slightly accident-prone frog, who sets off on a fishing expedition across the pond, only to find himself bitten on the toe bt a water-beetle, fighting with a stickleback, and eventually nearly eaten by a trout!
The setting of Little Pig Robinson is based on various English seaside towns where she spent holidays when she was young. It tells the charming story of an adventurous pig who sets off on an incredible voyage aboard the 'Pound of Candles'.
The Tailor of Gloucester was first published in 1903 and tells the story of a poor tailor trying to survive in his freezing workshop over a hard winter. He has a terribly important commission to complete for the Mayor of Gloucester's wedding on Christmas Day but is ill and tired, and before long is running out of food and thread, as well as time! How will he possibly complete the beautiful coat and embroidered waistcoat? Luckily, there lives in the dresser, some very kind and very resourceful mice who set about helping the poor tailor with his work. Not only are they exceedingly helpful, but they are also, luckily, far far too clever for the tailor's sly cat, Simpkin.
After a terrible misunderstanding, poor Timmy Tiptoes ends up deep inside the trunk of a dead tree, with no means of getting out. Luckily, the chipmunk who lived there was very friendly and kind to Timmy. Before long, a strong wind blows the top off the dead tree trunk, but poor Timmy can't get himself out on account of eating far too many nuts and being a little bit too round!
It is a simple tale of what befalls a rude little rabbit that doesn't say'please' before he takes something that belongs to someone else.
The first farm that Beatrix Potter owned, Hill Top, was an old house with thick walls and many hiding places for rats and mice. In The Tale of Samuel Whiskers this farmhouse is Tom Kitten's home and the story tells what happens when Tom accidently comes upon the rat Samuel Whiskers living in a secret hideout behind the attic walls.
When the cupboard is bare at the Flopsy Bunny's burrow, the family all have to go in search of food. They soon find some old lettuces on Mr McGregor's rubbish heap, but who can imagine the horrors that await them as they enjoy a nap after lunch! Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny are two of Beatrix Potter's most popular characters and they are brought together in this exciting tale of danger and friendship.
These books are stunning and will be treasured for many years to come. Very good quality, hardback books of a good size in a beautiful presentation box. Perfect!

Many people who work in offices suffer from tension, muscular imbalance and back pain.
Passive sitting can cause these physical ailments. Working on a kyBounder at a standing desk, for example, is the ergonomic alternative for the workplace. The flexible surface strengthens small muscles, releases tension and positively influences your well-being.
Studies show that moderate exercise increases performance and improves concentration when combined with mental activity. The kyBounder makes you more alert and creative, while ensuring you still have plenty of energy left in the evening.
Integrate a standing table and a kyBounder mat into your daily work routine and discover the joy of movement. It's good exercise and good for your body.
A total of 40 bank employees at St. Galler Kantonalbank and some 100 employees at Helsana health insurance tested a standing desk in combination with a kyBounder mat as part of two pilot projects. Participants in both of the studies confirmed the positive effects of the kyBounder on their physical well-being and posture. The employees really enjoyed working on the kyBounder.
A representative study proves that although breaks are a fixed part of the daily routine at work, they are rarely used to increase productivity and motivation.
A total of 75 per cent of employees surveyed stated that their companies did not provide quiet rooms or organise active break activities such as relaxation exercises and movement programmes.
The soft, springy kyBounder mat provides active movement and relaxation at the same time. This allows you to recharge your batteries during breaks and return to your desk bursting full of energy.
Standing room only! A height-adjustable conference table together with a kyBounder helps makes the office ergonomic. Studies show that moderate exercise helps to noticeably improve posture, concentration and memory.
The small muscles throughout the entire muscle corset are used to maintain balance on the soft, springy kyBounder mat.
Meetings are far more dynamic and focused as you have to think on your feet. Participants are more awake and actively take part in the discussion.
An increasing number of employers are discovering the benefits of the kybun philosophy for the workplace.

Browns rookie DE Alex Wright looking to build off solid NFL debut
Cleveland Browns defensive end Alex Wright.AP
Ashley Bastock, cleveland.com
BEREA, Ohio — Browns rookie defensive end Alex Wright has taken a less conventional path to the NFL than most, but in his debut last week, the moment still wasn't too big for him.
"A kid coming from UAB who has not played a ton of football, a young guy, his first preseason game at Jacksonville and he was kind of a deer in the headlights," defensive line coach Chris Kiffin said on Friday. "He has worked his way through that. The stage was not too big for him. He went out there. He performed. He does what he does best. He pushed the pocket. He runs. He fits it up. Very pleased with him."
In Cleveland's 26-24 win over the Carolina Panthers last week, Wright made the most of his 17 defensive snaps. Pro Football Focus gave Wright a solid 66.7 defensive grade, putting him at eighth on the team and third among edge rushers behind Myles Garrett (94.4) and Jadeveon Clowney (76.3).
The rookie got his hands on one of Cleveland's five batted passes while going up against former Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. He ended the day with two tackles as well.
Sports betting comes to Ohio on Jan. 1, 2023: Your questions answered
One of the first things you notice about Wright is his length -- it was constantly mentioned in his draft profile, given his 6-foot-5 build and long 34-inch arms. But despite that length, the batted passes are really a new element to his game, Wright told cleveland.com this week.
"The crazy part is I didn't really have that many batted passes in college," he said. "I want to say I had two my junior year in college. So whatever I can do to help the team, in that case it was batting balls, not allowing the receiver to catch a ball."
Wright was considered more of a developmental pick by draft analysts, someone who had the length but hasn't quite mastered how to use it.
In Cleveland though, he's managed to come along quite nicely. He still has a long way to go, but he's impressed early and earned a spot as a rotational player on a really solid defense, similar to the roll Takk McKinley played for the Browns last year.
While the fact that Wright needs some development means it may take him longer to come along, it's also an exciting aspect of the rookie considering how well he's looked in the early stages of his NFL career.
It's important to note with Wright that he found football late. While he played in elementary school, he quit the game in middle school to focus on playing saxophone, something he did for most of his childhood. While he joined the basketball team as a freshman in his hometown of Elba, Ala., he didn't pick football back up until the following year. From there his recruitment was a slow burn, but he did develop as a three-star prospect.
At UAB, he first got used to the idea of using his length in a different way. While he played strictly on the outside for the Browns on Sunday (with Cleveland sometimes putting him in alongside Clowney and Garrett and moving Garret to the inside), in college he also played inside and even developed an affinity for pass rushing from there.
"When they told me in college we want you to start moving inside, I was kind of iffy about it," he said. "But then they sat me down and talked to me about the more versatile you can be, the better it will help the team. So when I thought about it and when I actually took reps, I actually liked it. So me personally, I like rushing inside more than the outside.
"I have less space going against guards. Guards are not used to the quick, long -- it's very different compared to a regular defensive tackle."
What's also helped Wright really come along in recent weeks is his willingness to ask questions, especially to Garrett and Clowney. Defensive coordinator Joe Woods said now with real game situations, he thinks Wright's learning will happen at an even quicker rate.
"He wants to be good," Woods said. "He is sitting in the room with Myles and Clowney. You have two good guys to ask questions. I think he is a sponge. He is learning a lot from those guys. These game situations now, and now it is real, I think he will really develop at a higher rate."
Not being afraid to ask those questions is what Wright thinks has made him stand out quickly in Berea.
"It's just coming in with the right attitude, just wanting to work, wanting to ask questions, sitting in front being attentive, paying attention to detail, asking every little question," Wright said. "That stuff goes far. It shows that you want to be here, you want to work, you want to learn about football, you want to learn about the defense, the team and stuff like that. I would say those things really, just being that type of person."
His goal going into that first game was to make the most out of his reps, and he feels like he accomplished that while getting those first-game jitters out.
Afterward, he said he got great feedback from his coaches and teammates in meeting rooms. Like most rookies, though, he still has little things he can improve on, and the list is sure to get longer with more playing time.
"Being attentive, just continuing to get better, continue developing as a player," Wright said. "It was great. It wasn't anything negative, just getting better."
If there's one thing the Browns can be sure of, it's Wright heeding their advice.

I am doing 2 5ish pound turkey breasts for turkey day, and I normally brine if I am doing turkey in a regular oven. I usually do salt, sugar, and apple cider vinegar in water. I was going to brine before the smoker too. Is it necessary? Are there any issues with dry meat? I love smoking stuff, but I haven't done turkey yet. Thanks!
The ST's are sealed units, so brining isn't necessary for moisture, but if you like the flavor of the brine, go for it! Watch your internal temp, and I'd recommend some type of remote-read thermometer, so you're not opening the door to check temp. Opening the door causes huge moisture losses. Too high an internal temp will cause drying much more so than smoking without a brine.
I'd recommend something really mild like apple or alder, but whatever your tastebuds like will work too!
Let us know how things turn out. I also recommend a little notebook to keep track of your successes and failures. It'll help you develop a catalog of recipes you can keep going back to.
I did brine the breasts but as you said, it wasn't really needed. We just threw them into the oven for a bit at the end to crisp the skin. They were still very moist after that, though.
I cooked in a saucepan until reduced to a syrupy consistency. It was delicious and very Thanksgiving-y!
Glad things turned out well for you. Thanks for sharing that sauce recipe, it sounds wonderful!!

Council wants restrictions on private fireworks and creation of fireworks-free zones
All political groups on south Lanarkshire Council backed the move.
Hamilton Advertiser
A call for fireworks-free zones and other restrictions on fireworks has been made by South Lanarkshire Council.
The move, backed by all political groups at the council, asks government to allow the zones to be created around places such as retirement homes, hospitals and animal shelters.
And the council also backed:
■ the introduction of greater restrictions on private use of fireworks
■ a limit on the times of day fireworks can be used
■ a public notification system for private displays
■ and mandatory safety advice for those buying fireworks
The council will now officially back a series of recommendations from the Scottish Government made in its Consultation on Fireworks in Scotland and an associated action plan.
The council's Chief Executive will also write to the UK Government to seek the tightening of reserved powers over fireworks sales.
Elected members heard that legal powers over fireworks were variously held by the UK Government and the Scottish Government, with licensing for sales given to local authorities to administer.
They were also told that South Lanarkshire Council had created new information pages for residents and others on its website, including safety information and details of how to report any concerns regarding bonfires or fireworks.

The move follows a motion to the meeting of South Lanarkshire Council held today, which stated: "South Lanarkshire Council acknowledges that whilst attending a well-organised fireworks display can be a positive community experience, the noise associated with displays and the anti-social behaviour perpetrated by a minority can be distressing for vulnerable groups of people, livestock and pets.
"South Lanarkshire Council notes the Consultation on Fireworks in Scotland carried out by The Scottish Government and the resulting Action Plan. With cognisance that much of the legislation regarding fireworks is reserved to the UK Parliament, but laws on when and where fireworks can be used being devolved to The Scottish Parliament, this Council supports The Scottish Government's intention to offer additional safety advice to those purchasing fireworks and local groups holding displays by November 2020.

"In accordance with suggestions being considered by the Scottish Government Fireworks Action Plan South Lanarkshire Council would support the introduction of greater restrictions on private use of fireworks, times of day fireworks can be used, firework-free zones (eg around retirement homes, hospitals or animal shelters), and a public notification system for private displays and mandatory conditions, e.g. safety training being applied at the point of sale.
"To allow appropriate controls over all aspects of firework use, this Council requests the UK Government to tighten powers regarding firework sales and asks the Chief Executive to write to the UK Government to this effect."

49ers officially sign WR Pierre Garçon
By David Bonilla
Mar 9, 2017 at 4:00 PM • --
The San Francisco 49ers have officially signed former Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garçon to a five-year deal. The agreement between Garçon and the 49ers was reported on Wednesday, but could not become official until after the start of free agency at 1 p.m. on Thursday. The length of the contract is interesting because prior to the 49ers' announcement, it was widely reported to be a three-year deal.
On Tuesday, Mike Silver of NFL Media noted that Garçon could be on his way to San Francisco. On Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media wrote that the 49ers had set their sights on signing Garçon and that his familiarity with head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense may have played a part in the decision.
With the WR market still settling, #49ers set their sights on signing Pierre Garçon, sources say. He's familiar with Kyle Shanahan's system
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 8, 2017
Chris Mortensen of ESPN believes that the contract will be front-loaded, earning Garçon as much as $16 million in year one but providing the 49ers with cap relief in the years that follow.
Garçon's best season came in 2013 with Washington when he caught 113 passes for 1,346 yards and five touchdowns. That was the last of two seasons that Garçon spent with Shanahan as his offensive coordinator.
RELATED 2017 49ers Free Agency Tracker
Garçon will be 31 when the 2017 season kicks off, but he is coming off his second career 1,000-plus-yard season. In 2016, he had 79 receptions for 1,041 yards and three touchdowns. Garçon signed with Washington in 2012 and has spent the past five seasons there.
The Indianapolis Colts drafted Garçon in the sixth round out of Division III Mount Union in the 2008 NFL Draft. In four years with Indianapolis, he caught 188 passes for 2,519 yards and 16 touchdowns.
"His skill set is built to last, as his game is not based on speed but on route running, toughness and sure hands, similar to ex-Niner Anquan Boldin," wrote our own Jason Bertolucci while looking at potential free agents for the 49ers.
Over the weekend, the 49ers re-signed their leading receiver last season, Jeremy Kerley, to a three-year deal worth $10.5 million. On Tuesday, the team announced the release of receiver Torrey Smith, who was expected to be the 49ers' leading receiver heading into the 2016 season.

Field test with new SICK encoders at the Oosterschelde barrage
For many years now the Netherlands, and in particular the Dutch province of Zeeland, have been protected against North Sea high tides by the Delta Works. The Oosterschelde barrage has been playing an especially important role in this since 1986. When the water level in the North Sea rises rapidly, the 62 sluice gates of the barrage can be lowered within a short period of time. The gates can only function properly if their movements are perfectly vertical. These movements are monitored by encoders from SICK. After 25 years of trouble-free operation, the encoders are now replaced by Siemens Mobility on behalf of the Rijkswaterstaat water authority. Siemens Mobility is installing new models which SICK developed specially for the Oosterschelde barrage.
How exactly does the system work? The 62 sluice gates of the Oosterschelde barrage are attached on both sides to the piston rods of hydraulic cylinders. These piston rods in turn are connected to pylons via universal joints. The gates are controlled locally by control computers. The individual gates are 45 meters wide and between 5 and 15 meters high. During all gate movements, encoders continuously measure whether the gates are moving straight. This check is extremely important because if the gates tilt, there is a risk of substantial damage to the pylons or the overall structure.
While minor deviations are permitted, these are immediately corrected by the control computers by raising or lowering the individual piston rods by a suitable additional amount. The height on the North and South side of each gate are measured independently using three encoders mounted on each opposing edge of the gate.
Comprehensive testing program: 720-hour endurance test passed with flying colors
Siemens Mobility, Rijkswaterstaat and SICK systematically and rigorously prepared for the replacement of the encoders. The prototypes of the encoders – tailor made customer-specific versions from SICK – were first subjected to in-house testing at Siemens Mobility in Zoetermeer. The opening and closing of the gates, taking into account all the requirements of the Machinery Directive, was simulated in a specially developed rugged test rig whereby the encoders were subjected to a 720-hour endurance test.
"While carrying out these load tests, we also took into consideration that the voltage supply can fluctuate between 13 and 30 volts," says Piet van Stee, Technical Manager at Siemens Mobility. The encoders from SICK passed the in-house testing with flying colors. They reliably transmitted the expected values.

Temperature fluctuations and sea water: real-life testing
After the simulation tests, it was time to commence the next step – field testing – in September 2020. To do so, Siemens Mobility installed six encoder prototypes directly into the Oosterschelde barrage. On three of the gates, they replaced the original encoders on the opposite edges of the gate with new models. They then performed comprehensive tests during the storm season, i.e. until the end of April 2021.
In contrast to the in-house simulation environment, the encoders on the barrage are subjected to strong temperature fluctuations, sea water, and other environmental influences. The encoders are able to withstand these conditions, says Maarten Braadbaart from SICK: "The specially developed encoders are resistant to the temperatures on the Oosterschelde barrage. Their housing is made from salt water resistant aluminum and they are largely insensitive to electromagnetic radiation."
Expectations confirmed: no deviations
Rijkswaterstaat will soon systematically compare the values from the new encoders with the values from the existing encoders. The intermediate results obtained thus far confirm SICK's expectations: no deviations were observed during the first months of test operation. And should deviations nevertheless still be detected? Van Stee: "In this case we will, if possible, examine the situation on-site. Rijkswaterstaat can then decide whether to replace the affected new encoders with the old model again. We will then investigate in our test rig whether the new encoder is defective. Should this be the case, it will be further analyzed by SICK."
Many years of fault-free operation
If the test operation is completed with a positive overall result, Siemens Mobility will begin replacing all the existing SICK encoders with 372 of the new models. SICK has already prepared itself for the challenges this tight schedule will bring. Siemens Mobility will not only be responsible for replacing the encoders but also for their maintenance over the coming twenty years. The maintenance tasks will also include regular inspections of the stock of 25 replacement encoders. These encoders need to be checked by Siemens Mobility every five years.
Productive collaboration of all involved
Van Stee is pleased with the productive collaboration between SICK and the Rijkswaterstaat engineers: "I enjoy working with clients who are on the same level as us technically. We jointly sought opportunities to push the technical limits. Rijkswaterstaat was open to modifications when they were well founded. This close collaboration benefited all parties involved."
A heart for Zeeland
The Oosterschelde barrage project was particularly special to Piet van Stee not only because of its technical challenges. Because he himself hails from the Zeeland province, he feels a close connection to the Delta Works. "Our family, too, was greatly impacted by the disastrous flood in 1953. I witnessed the construction of the Oosterschelde barrage up close."
"I am proud to have had the opportunity to manage this project from tendering through to implementation. Once the SICK encoders have been installed, I will trustingly hand over their maintenance to our Service department. Our qualified employees with their wealth of knowledge have been servicing the barrage exceptionally well for over twenty years now. In this way we, along with SICK, will ensure that the Oosterschelde barrage is operating reliably at all times."

I just finished season 3 of Orange Is The New Black. The shift in tone took a couple of episodes to get used to, but eventually it felt like a nicer balance between heart warming/chilling character development, drama and comedy than previous seasons. I like that Piper is now the least interesting character on the show. I wonder how long we're going to have to wait for the rest of network and cable TV to catch up to Netflix in terms of them having found the perfect format for releasing serialized video entertainment chunks. I would rather every single show I watch just hold on the entire season until it's complete, then release it all at once. I would also rather every show that tries to keep itself interesting for 22 episodes to cut that nonsense in half. Brevity is the soul of wit and 18ish hours is hardly brief when you're really only telling one A story and a couple of B and C stories.
I've let Orphan Black pile up on the DVR this season. It's all there waiting for me, but I haven't felt motivated to watch it. I think the first seasons was perfect, and the 2nd started to flail a bit in terms of direction. I still think Tatiana Maslany deserves each and every acting accolade and award that we, as a species, are capable of giving out, but I just haven't felt like spending any time in the clone zone. The fact that I don't feel like I'm missing out (because I know it's still on my DVR and will be there waiting for me when I'm ready) falls right in line with my admiration for the "release 'em all when ther' done!" TV model. For me, a TV show has become a thing like an album. When I get a new one that I like, I listen to it on repeat almost exclusively for days or weeks. When I binge watch a show, I feel the same way. I want to spend time in the world that bit of entertainment allows me entrance to. I want to enter that particular headspace and swim around in it for an extended amount of time. It's much more immersive for me to enjoy art this way. To just wrap myself up in it day after day for a week or two, then spend a few days decompressing and thinking about what it meant or how it made me feel.
SHARKSPLODERS: What bit of entertainment did you immerse yourself in for days or weeks at a time, and why?
Posted in Uncategorized and tagged bbc america, mashup, netflix, orange is the new black, orphan black, Sci-Fi, tv.
I haven't really binged in anything since way back when I lived in a fan household and we'd watch episodes of Babylon 5 sent by friends overseas, when Australia was late getting them broadcast.
We just watched all of the second season of Utopia (not having seen season 1) Now we have to watch season 1, although both were pretty self contained in 6 episodes. I mean, HAVE TO WATCH season 1. Why isn't it bought from Amazon yet, WHY?
Ooh, good analogy with the season = album. I listen to almost exclusively whole albums at a time myself, so listening to just one song would for me be like watching just one episode of a season. I'm a big fan of both of these shows, though, sadly, I'm very far behind on both.
I finally finished S2 of Orphan Black, but yeah, it took me a while. The first few eps felt like they were going off the rails (ok, even more so I guess). But the last eps have some great moments. I do have to be in a particular head space for the 'clone zone' as you put it. It's the most intense thing I'm capable of watching, we'll see how long that lasts…I can see a lot of yelling and throwing things at the tv for S3.
I wasn't sure if I was the only one who thought the 3rd season "felt" different. The first 2 seasons I binge watched in a couple of days, but this one I watched the first episode and it felt a little off to me, and I didn't watch the 2nd episode for a couple days, and then a couple more days to watch the third one But after the third one I watched 3 or four more right away, and binge watched the rest over the next day or so. I also like that they are exploring other's back stories a little more, and also like the direction they took with Piper. And the last five minutes of the finale really set next season up to be really interesting, and I can't wait for it now.
As far as having entire episodes released at once, I agree with you. Would rather wait until it's all there to watch. One episode at a time seems really archaic now. Could be I'm just more used to having an entire season at my disposal, as since giving up TV it's either been watch full seasons on Netflix or buy entire seasons on BR/DVD when they are released. When there was just one episode at a time to watch, I would inevitably miss one or two with work, or DVR screwing up and recording the wrong show or something. Then if I missed too many I would be lost when I finally did catch up, and I would either lose interest altogether or just not feel as involved in the show, Having all episodes at once stops that from happening.
Probably within the next 5-10 years network tv will be gone, and this will be the new way of things.

TOKYO When North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump hold their summit at an exclusive venue in Singapore, one of the priciest destinations in Asia, they will no doubt run up quite a bill. And if past precedent is any indication, expect Pyongyang to pay as little of it as possible.
While highly speculative � Kim is even more averse to divulging details about his personal wealth than Trump � the North Korean leader is believed by some foreign experts to be worth well over $1 billion and have access to billions dollars more thanks to the full backing of his country.
Seoul reportedly spent somewhere in the range of $5 million to cover the costs of President Moon Jae-in's first summit with Kim in April � a day-long affair that was held in publicly owned buildings on the South Korean side of the Demilitarized Zone.

If you are looking for a new, out-of-the-box, rug for your playroom or child's room. These 3-dimensional designs from IVI Design are for you! Such an imaginative concept to engage your child in creative play. They are easy to clean and hypo-allergenic.
The rugs come in three designs "Traffic", "Farm", "Playing Way", and "Playing Family". "Traffic" featured in the photos above is my favorite.
Images from and products available at Danish by Design & Urban Baby.
The rugs are made of 100% polypropylene and are available in sizes 100 cm x 150 cm (3.25' x 4.9') & 134 cm x 200 cm (4.4' x 6.5').
Are you a fan or is it too much going on?
I'm a fan and think it is fabulous to encourage little one's to have a creative mind! This rug can be left out for spur of the moment fun or it could rolled up and brought out when needed. I do find that stuff in the open/easily accessible is played with more often. Great find! I have something similar (not as fab!) for my son, but we got it at Pottery Barn Kids.

Q: TypeScript generics "extends" constraint: Is there a nullable constraint? It looks like the following doesn't compile:
interface IServiceBase {};
type INullableServiceBase = IServiceBase | undefined;
public GetService<T extends INullableServiceBase>(): T
{
return this._service;
}
This yields TS2322: Type 'INullableServiceBase' cannot be assigned to type 'T'. Type 'undefined' cannot be assigned to type 'T'.
How can I define a generic constraint to allow nullable types?
A: The problem is that the caller is the one deciding T. If this._service is defined to be IServiceBase | null you have two problems.
*
*T might be IServiceBase so assigning IServiceBase | null is not type safe since this._service might be null
*T might be a type derived from IServiceBase, (ie IExtendedServiceBase). So this._service will not satisfy that T in any way.
These reasons are enough to make the compiler reject this. You could force things with a type assertion (this._service as T), or you might consider not making this generic at all, since the caller is not really in control of T:
function GetService(): INullableServiceBase
{
return this._service;
}
Or making the containing class generic on the service type:
class ServiceFactory<T extends INullableServiceBase> {
constructor(private _service: T) { }
public GetService(): T {
return this._service;
}
}
But without more context it is difficult to say what will work best.

Remember… God was establishing a people with a law that was a physical representation of His future spiritual kingdom. Cleanliness is a HUGE deal to God. The people were taught through the word pictures presented in the law that uncleanliness was connected with death – whereas cleanliness was associated with life. This is why a person was deemed "unclean" when touching any animal or person that was dead.
The Greek word for fringe is the equivalent to the Hebrew word for tassel. Jesus wears the tassels – but instead of being a reminder to obey, they were a source of healing.
After almost a year at Mt. Sinai… after the giving of the Law and the construction of the Tabernacle, the anointing of Priests and dedication of the Holy things… the people set out. Everything starts well – the people break camp as instructed, they march in the exact order that God commanded. The Levites comply with every instruction of how to transport the tent and the holy things.
The people complain… And everything goes downhill from there. Today's reading ends with Moses' own family turning against him and the Lord.
What happened? Their eyes turned inward on their unhappy circumstances. Self-pity crept in – which led to self-justification – which led to great anger from God.
This section of Scripture is deeply sad to me – mainly because I see the same sin patterns in my own life. When I complain, the ungratefulness in my heart is revealed. A thankless heart is a great sin – but thankfully… we serve a God who longs for our repentance.
At the very end of today's reading we see Miriam and Aaron conspiring against Moses. They were jealous of his special standing before God and deserved to die because of it, but God spared them – because of Moses' intercession.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:15-16).
Lord, please forgive me when I complain of my circumstances – belittling your sacrifice for me. Help me to pry my eyes off of myself and turn them toward you – my great High Priest. Please Lord, have mercy on me.

Survival success depends on three things: your knowledge, your skills, and the tools at your disposal. That's why you try to learn and put that knowledge into practice as often as you can. However, you don't have to hoard and keep just about every "useful tool" out there in your bug out bag.
Multitools are good as everyday carry (EDC) devices, but they're even better in a survival situation. Multitools have been around since the late 1800s, when Victorinox first came up with the Swiss Army Knife. Since then, the multitool has been a fixture in survival and prepping circles, undergoing many transformations in the process.
The multitool was created with efficiency in mind; it's basically a toolbox that can fit in your pocket. This compact contraption includes several tools like pliers, scissors, bit drivers, and even serrated blades.
Some multitools, like the Leatherman Signal, are specially designed for the great outdoors. Aside from the standard tools, it has a semi-serrated blade that can double as a small saw, a removable ferro rod for firestarting, a diamond file sharpener and a whistle. You can use this multitool to make shelter, cut cordage, prepare food, light a fire, fix broken gears and lots more other things.
Never underestimate the humble sleeping bag. It's one survival item that's pretty hard to duplicate using natural materials. As Survival Lilly quips in this video, it's pretty easy to make cordage from natural materials like vines and plants, but it's pretty darn difficult to make your own sleeping bag from scratch. A sleeping bag would not only keep you relatively comfortable, but it also ensures that you are not in direct contact with the ground. This way, you're less susceptible to hypothermia.
Select a sleeping bag that is lightweight and not too bulky. Also, take note of its temperature rating. If you're living in a cold climate, it may be best to choose a winter sleeping bag that can tolerate temperatures 10 degrees Fahrenheit and lower.
"Ferro rods create fire by scraping a striker along the length of the rod to remove fine metal shavings. The friction generated by this action causes the shavings to ignite, creating hot sparks and molten metal." This way, you save time and energy—which are precious resources in a survival situation.
Like the sleeping bag, don't underestimate the water bottle or canteen, especially in a survival situation where hydration is of utmost importance. Go three days without clean water and you'll be in big trouble. Also remember that even when appearing clear, outdoor water sources can still be contaminated so it's always wise to purify them. Boiling is the most effective way of water purification as it kills almost all microorganisms present in the water. That being said, it's important to always include a water container (preferably stainless steel) in your pack. You can use this to boil and store your water. This way, you're safe from dehydration and water-borne diseases.
When it comes to tools, it pays to keep them simple and straightforward. Expertise in essential tools like these can lend you a better chance of survival than a bug out bag full of fancy bells and whistles.
Of course, preference also matters. Some preppers prefer cordage over sleeping bags, while some may pick portable water filters over a canteen. It really depends on your priorities and skill set. Now, if YOU have to pick 5 tools to stake your life on, what would they be? Let us know in the comments below!

Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, and Dua Lipa Are This Year's Met Gala Co-Chairs
In the blink of an eye, the 2023 Met Gala will be upon us. This year, the event—which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute—falls neatly on May 1 and honors one of fashion's greatest talents: Karl Lagerfeld. The accompanying exhibition, titled "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," pays tribute to the prolific designer, who helmed major fashion houses including Chanel, Fendi, and Chloé. Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Anna Wintour will serve as the evening's official co-chairs.
These figures span every realm of popular culture: Lipa, a global music star and three-time Grammy winner, recently wrapped her Future Nostalgia tour. Coel has emerged as one of Hollywood's most in-demand talents after the success of her daring series I May Destroy You and her turn in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Cruz, who recently earned her fourth Oscar nomination for 2021's Parallel Mothers, is perhaps the quintessential Karl Lagerfeld muse. And this past fall, after two decades at the pinnacle of men's tennis, Federer announced his retirement from the sport. In addition to his many business ventures, including a partnership with On Running, Federer is focusing his efforts on his philanthropic foundation, which turns 20 in 2023.
"Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" will showcase over 150 original looks from the late designer—exploring Lagerfeld's creative output from the 1950s until his final collections in 2019. In addition to tracing Lagerfeld's tenures as creative director at Chanel, Chloé, and Fendi (and at his own namesake label), the show will also consider the designer's time at Balmain and Patou. Many of the objects on display will appear alongside his vast collection of sketches.
"He would sketch everything," said Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute's Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, in September. "He would always say that he could draw before he could talk or walk. In many ways it was his primary form of communication, whether he was delivering them by fax machine or iPhone. So at its heart the exhibition will look at the evolution of Karl's two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional garments."

Institutionalised racism is the price paid by Israel's third class citizens
Posted by Adam Baker on 10/07/2019 - 12:18
by Dr Mohammad Makram Balawi
9 July 2019; MEMO: Palestinians these days are fond of circulating on social media a scene from an old Israeli comedy which shows a group of Hamas fighters who could sneak through a tunnel into enemy territory and kidnap an Israeli officer in order to exchange him for Palestinian prisoners. Although things go smoothly, the whole operation is a flop. Why? Because it was dark and they could not see that the officer was dark-skinned. When the group leader realises that the prisoner is of Ethiopian origin, he knows that all their efforts are for nothing.
Then the group enters into a long discussion on how to convince the Israelis to exchange him for fewer Palestinian prisoners, but end up convinced that the Israelis will give them nothing in return for him, and even he will not believe that the Israeli army and government care for him. They only have one problem; what to do with this good-for-nothing prisoner, without hurting his feelings. They finally decide to release him.
The officer does not believe that even Hamas does not want him and tries to convince his captors that even though he is a dark-skinned Israeli, he is valuable because he is not a mere soldier, he is an officer, and an important one. They are not convinced. One of the group tells him that he should thank God he is not a Druze. He asks them for a lift but they refuse to drop him to the separation line, and ask him to run, for Israeli soldiers are good at running.
Such comedy is not uncommon in this decades-long conflict. People on both sides like to produce and watch it, maybe because people tend to be more honest with themselves when they are laughing. Although such video clips are meant for self-criticism, they are in many cases used as propaganda to ridicule the enemy and boost one's own self-confidence.
Last week, an Israeli police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Solomon Teka, a young Ethiopian Jew, triggering widespread protests which blocked public transport in major cities such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, reminding people of the Arab Spring. Foreign media showed some Ethiopians declaring their support for Palestine and changing their religion to Islam, in a rebellion against the state of Israel, which they describe as rotten to the core. They are, in almost every respect, treated as third class citizens by the state.
In a move to utilise the Ethiopian-Israeli protests, a Palestinian comedian from Gaza called Ali Nasman wrote a comic song, making fun of Israel's racism towards its dark-skinned citizens. For the video of him singing it, he blackened his face and was joined by of a group of dark-skinned young Palestinians to mock the way that Ethiopian Jews are treated in Israel. He is seen with a little boy taking a bus, and a white policeman forces them off, calling them "black scum". Nasman then reminds us how Israel neglected an Ethiopian-Israeli soldier captured by Hamas.
To fan the flames, the Hamas military wing revealed that Israel has never demanded to discuss the case of the missing soldier, Avraham Mengistu, when the issue of enemy prisoners is mentioned. It has been like this ever since his disappearance; he has been omitted from the negotiations file completely." Mengistu's family accuses the Israeli government of double standards based on racial discrimination.
Now the head of the committee appointed by the Israeli Ministry of Justice to investigate Teka's killing, Keren Bar-Menachem, has told the young man's family that, "The ballistic report shows that the off-duty policeman who shot Teka shot toward the ground, and the bullet ricocheted and hit the 18-year-old's chest."
This time, the dead man is an Israeli Jew, not a Palestinian, so things are supposed to be different. Sweeping official racism under the carpet will not be possible. Next time that Netanyahu wants to boast in front of his AIPAC benefactors in the US about making a homogeneous society out of diverse colonial communities he will have to think long and hard if he is to be honest. Institutionalised racism against Ethiopian Jews marks the failure of the whole Zionist colonialist project, because racial discrimination is inherent in the whole ideology underpinning the colonial-settler state; just ask the Palestinians, for they know that this is all too true.
As Israeli-American activist Miko Peled has said, "Supporting Zionism and Israel is supporting racism and violence. Supporting the Palestinian struggle is supporting efforts to replace racism and violence with justice, freedom and equal rights."

GLENDALE, Ariz. — When Patriots 28, Seahawks 24 was over, Bill Belichick inflated his champion players.
"This is a great team — a great group of competitors who never gave in, never lost their will, mentally and physically as tough of a group as I've been around, and I've been around some," Belichick said.
Tom Brady's fourth-quarter brilliance and Pete Carroll's mind-boggling last-minute vapor lock enabled Belichick to tie Chuck Noll with his fourth Super Bowl championship. Carroll decided it was a good idea to let Russell Wilson throw the ball instead of giving it to Beast Mode Lynch from inside the 1, and Malcolm Butler sealed Super Bowl XLIX with an interception.
Some Bill Nye The Science Guy Things.
"I was able to catch up," Belichick said.
He was asked if the Deflategate controversy, yet to be resolved, made this victory sweeter.
Belichick was so tickled that when he was asked if he had ever seen a catch downfield like the one Jermaine Kearse had made, tapping the ball to himself while on his back, he smiled and joked: "Yeah, I've seen two of them," referring to David Tyree's catch in Super Bowl XLII and Mario Manningham's catch in Super Bowl XLVI.
Belichick turned emotional when he began talking about his late father, Steve, his biggest football influence, and his mother, who was not able to attend the game.

Cook Islands is a "self-governing parliamentary democracy in free association with New Zealand". What is more interesting than this bureaucratic monster of a word is that it has about 20,000 inhabitants, while there are nearly 60,000 people of Cook Islander descent living in New Zealand (a unique situation, perhaps?). The group of fifteen small islands is quite far from NZ though, located between French Polynesia and American Samoa (isn't it nice how all these places are "owned" by someone?). Cook Islands have a large art scene, featuring wood carving, weaving, contemporary art and tivaevae, a type of textile art with a very important social meaning.
This is the first Vegventures dish featuring bananas – quite surprising considering that they are widely used in South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania, but perhaps exactly for that reason I have avoided them, in fear that half of the blog would be banana recipes… Only after I had made this dish I found out that besides the popular banana poke, there are also other varieties, e.g. orange, mango, lime and even pumpkin, which might have been tastier.
This one was awfully bland, which I kind of expected, but I was hoping I would be wrong, as roasting bananas makes them very flavourful and I thought that maybe baking in the oven would increase the flavour of the bananas. It didn't. Also, I was worried the texture would be gummy or at least extremely solid with such a large amount of arrowroot, and it was, but maybe I should have used more liquid.
The recipe said to simmer the banana mash "until it turns purplish". I wasn't sure what this meant, so I cooked the bananas for about 15-20 minutes until they were brownish with some possibly purple hue. Apparently getting to the purple stage can take over 30 minutes.
In the picture the poke is garnished with toasted coconut, which apparently is quite a traditional ingredient in Cook Islands (and many other places). I don't like coconut by itself all that much, but toasted coconut is awesome, and very easy to make. Just toast flaked coconut on a dry pan on medium heat until fragrant and golden (it takes on a reddish hue for some reason). Sprinkle liberally over curries and desserts.
Peel the bananas and mash them. Cook this mash together with the water "until purplish" (see notes). Remove from heat and let cool.
Mix all the ingredients well. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish (or individual ramekins) and bake at 190C/375F for 35 minutes, or until set and golden brown (I only baked for about 20 minutes). Let cool.
Once cooled, cut into pieces and poke holes into them with a fork. Pour the coconut milk over it and let soak into it for a while before serving. Makes about 3-4 portions.

I saw an ad for Ally Bank in this month's Fast Company magazine that inadvertently highlighted the value of demographic variety on creative teams.
... Because any Summer Intern or college temp would have caught this mistake.
You would if you are under 25 or have your own children.
Here's the headline: "ONLY TEENAGERS LOVE TO TALK ON THE PHONE MORE."
Subhead: "We're happy to talk to you anytime for as long as you like with 24/7 live customer service."
That's a nice, service-oriented message. Yes, teenagers are rarely more than an arm's length away from their phones -- playing Angry Birds or Cut the Rope. They text and IM, browse on Pinterest, and Facebook each other.
What DON'T teenagers do on the phone? TALK. They don't "LOVE to talk on the phone" - they HATE talking on the phone. They'd rather text "911" from inside a burning house than call the fire department and talk to a live human.
Which is why this well-intentioned Ally Bank ad seems so comically olde-fashioned. The copywriters or CEOs who conceived this headline must remember their countless sepia-toned teenage hours spent on Princess phones. ("What's the story, Morning Glory?") But they must not know any actual 21st Century teenagers.
Because if Ally's Customer Service professionals are even LESS likely to talk to me than today's teenagers are, then I'd suggest stuffing your Ally Bank money under your mattress.
Sure, I understand using creative exaggeration and stereotypes to make your point (We knew my beloved Cubs didn't REALLY win the World Series in this ad, below, we did for a service-oriented St Louis law firm...). But you undercut your message when you're obviously out of step with the times.

I know this is a standard category in this kind of pro-forma assessment, but seeing as I am unable to remember having even bought let alone owned anything ever, it may be that there is actually no one on earth more poorly qualified to complete this section than I.
Even so, I hope and expect the fuel consumption to be abysmal. It would be a sad day indeed when an unreconstructed dinosaur like me considered driving a frugal car a more effective way of saving the planet than killing all the bad guys.

How To Make Home-Ground Bison Burgers
This content series is sponsored by The Bison Council with a goal of educating the public about the culinary, health and taste benefits of eating bison.
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
I've got a cousin who sort of freaked me out the first few times I met him. It might have been something in his crazy eyes, or in his motorcycle stories, or perhaps his way with moonshine. I gotta admit: it took three or four family reunions before I finally figured that his eyes weren't crazy, they were intense. His motorcycle stories weren't reckless, they were just eccentric. His moonshine wasn't... well, his moonshine was still moonshine, but it was the smoothest damn moonshine in Pennsylvania. You've probably all got a cousin or two like that, don't you?
Bison is a bit like the crazy cousin at the ruminant family reunion. It's similar to beef in appearance, flavor, and cooking methods, but it's just eccentrically different enough that you'll need to go through a bit of a how's-your-father session before you're 100 percent comfortable working with it.
The American bison industry has been picking up recently with ground meat and other cuts becoming more regularly available in standard supermarkets. Over the next few months, I'll be going over some of the major cuts of bison that you're likely to encounter in the wilds of the meat department and how to deal with them to maximize deliciousness.
First up: bison burgers.
Bison, Beef, and Burgers
What are the main difference between bison and beef? It largely comes down to flavor and fat content. Bison has a reputation for being much gamier than beef, but in reality, modern bison is only very mildly gamey. Indeed, I've had cuts of bison that I'd have trouble differentiating from beef in terms of flavor. A lot of this has to do with the fact that bison by its nature is a leaner meat, and many of the identifying flavor compounds in various meats are stored in their fat.
So why would someone want to use a leaner meat? Well there's health reasons, of course, and I've found that a lean bison tends to be of higher quality—better flavor and more tender—than equivalently lean beef. It's also a nice changeup. A lean bison ribeye or burger, when cooked properly, is perfectly tender and moist and makes for an interesting change from the norm.
Of course, you'll need to make some adjustments in the way you form and cook hamburger patties to compensate for the lower fat content.
Packaged ground bison is readily available. Just like packaged ground beef, it suffers from being overly compressed in its plastic wrapping—it's compressed and dense even before you start working with it, which means that for skillet-fried or grilled patties in which a lighter, looser texture is desired, it's not the best option.
But for certain applications, it's a perfectly acceptable product to use. Of all the types of burgers in my repertoire, smashed burgers and sliders are the two that work best with pre-ground meat. With smashed patties, you end up compressing the meat anyway, and with sliders, the patties are so thin that texture doesn't really come into play.
For grilled or skillet-fried burgers, you'll need to go with a different tack: grind the meat yourself. By grinding meat fresh and handling it with care, you create a much lighter, almost fluffy patty full of internal nooks and crannies that are essential for capturing the dripping juices that can make even a lean burger taste juicy and moist.
Sound daunting? Don't worry, it's not! All you need is a food processor or a stand mixer with a grinding attachment, and a bit of know how.
Dicin' Bison
I tested a number of different cuts of bison for grinding, both on their own and with some extra added bison fat, and I found that chuck was the best all-around option. It makes sense—it's the single cut of beef that I'm most likely to grab for my burgers as well. As with beef chuck, bison chuck is one of the most intensely flavorful cuts on the beast with a decent balance of fat and lean meat (though obviously bison is leaner).
Nothing will gunk up a meat grinder or food processor blade faster than tough connective tissue, so when breaking down your chuck, make sure to trim out as much tough silverskin and tough connective tissue as possible while leaving in the fat (you're going to need all the help you can get in keeping things juicy).
The easiest way to do this is to start by splitting open a rolled chuck and butterflying it so that it lays flat, working as much as possible by cutting between muscle seams, which will expose connective tissue that you can remove with the tip of a sharp boning knife.
Once you've cleaned up the butterflied sections, cut them into long, thin strips, which should expose even more connective tissue to trim.
Finally, cut across the long strips to form cubes that are between an inch and two inches on each side. For the meat grinder, you can go on the larger side, but for the food processor you'll want to cut them a little smaller.
Whether you're grinding beef, chicken, bison, mammoth, dolphin—heck, when you're grinding anything—the most important thing to remember is to keep everything ice cold.
Let me repeat that: keep everything ice cold.
And once more: KEEP EVERYTHING ICE COLD.
The colder your meat, the firmer it is, and the better it will chop. The idea with grinding meat is to chop the meat, minimizing the amount you mush and smear it. Both of these actions will ruin its texture, and more importantly with bison, it'll cause it to shed moisture faster as it cooks.
I store my meat grinder in the freezer at all times so that I have it ready to grind at moment's notice. To keep things extra cold, I place the chunked up bison in the freezer for a short period until it's nearly frozen but still slightly pliable.
If you go the food processor route, you'll want to make sure that the pieces don't touch each other when freezing them so that they freeze evenly from all sides
With the grinder attachment, I grind the meat at a relatively high speed (on my Kitchenaid I go at a setting of 6 or 7) so that it gets ground before it begins to warm up. If you choose to grind it twice for a more uniform texture, make sure that it gets chilled again in between grinds if it begins to warm up.
In the food processor, you'll want to go in small batches, pulsing just until ground and dumping the ground meat out onto a rimmed baking sheet so you can pick through for any larger un-ground chunks that can go back into the processor with the next batch.
Once the meat is ground, minimum handling is the key to maintaining good texture. You just spent all that time and effort getting yourself some light, airy, fluffy, freshly ground meat to save you from using the pre-packaged stuff. The last thing you want to do is compress it!
I form patties directly on a rimmed baking sheet by dumping the ground meat out onto it and forming it into even piles, which I then gently form into shape, pressing the meat together just until it holds its shape and is flippable without falling apart.
Once you've got your patties formed, the only other thing to remember is that leaner bison burgers will cook a little bit faster than equivalently-sized beef burgers—fat is an insulator and will slow down the transfer of heat energy through a burger patty.
What does this mean? It means you'll want to really blast it with high heat in order to be able to get a nice char on its outer surface before it ends up overcooking in the center. To guarantee the juiciest, moistest interior, you'll want to check your burgers with an instant read thermometer and pull them off the grill when they hit around 125°F, which will guarantee a medium-rare center.
With really excellent meat, I often like to serve my burgers naked with nothing but perhaps a swipe of mayo and a slice of cheese. Of course, onions and pickles never hurt anyone.
Except maybe my cousin. If you ever meet him, ask him how he got those crazy eyes.

Facebook has released a completely rewritten iOS app that is significantly faster than the prior version. With more and more Facebook users accessing the social network via mobile, the company views having a fast mobile app as increasingly essential. News that the update was forthcoming was first reported back in June.
With the updated version, Facebook's engineers have dumped the HTML5-based app and rebuilt it using Objective-C programming to make it perform more like a native iOS app.
I almost jumped for joy when I read about this on Twitter this morning. Great news.
After using both versions of the app, I'm happy to report that they are significantly faster, which alleviates my biggest gripe with the previous app. Also, the icon seems to be a slightly brighter shade of blue. As someone who uses Facebook on iOS constantly, this is a fantastic update. Those former Apple engineers did a good job.

Spinning Around: How An About-Turn Reignited Kylie Minogue's Career
Retooling Kylie Minogue's pop sound for the new millennium, Spinning Around gained notice for more than just its music…
With Kylie Minogue having moved away from her pop-princess image to court an indie audience in the latter half of the 90s – establishing herself as one of the best 90s female singers in the process – there was a sense of reassessment over her career as the new millennium dawned. "There is much I want to achieve with my next album," she said at the time, as she signed a new deal with Parlophone Records. "I am very enthusiastic to make a record that is unmistakeably Kylie." With the first fruits of that partnership coming in the shape of Spinning Around, she did just that and more, ushering in an era in which Kylie not only reasserted herself as a mainstream pop star, she emerged as a fashion icon, too.
"I'd been running away from my history"
In moving from UK indie imprint Deconstruction to the legendary Parlophone label, there was a clear understanding that this new project – released in September 2000 as Light Years – was going to be a pop album. "I'd been running away from my old images, my history, pretending it wasn't really me," she said. "What I came to understand was that I was all of those people, the sum of those parts. Now I'm proud of who I am and what I do."
In picking Spinning Around as the launch single for the album, Kylie transformed her image in a flash, introducing a look that has come to – in part – forever define her. We'll get to those hotpants in a moment; but first the song that inspired them…
"No one thought we were creating an icon"
Spinning Around featured no less than four songwriters and, in a shift away from the approach Kylie had taken on the previous two albums, she seemed happy picking the best material available, rather than worry about putting her own mark on the compositions. Most notable of the four composers was Paula Abdul, the celebrated American Idol judge who had been a chart draw in her own right with hits such as Forever Your Girl, Straight Up and Rush Rush. The original Spinning Around demo that was brought to Kylie had "hit" written all over it, and there was an immediate concern the track might get offered to someone else.
With the song eventually secured, the then relatively unknown Mike Spencer was asked to produce the track, which he layered in a frothy disco confection that nicely bridged the Hi-NRG pop of Kylie's Stock Aitken Waterman era with a slicker pop-soul sheen. Released on 19 June 2000, radio couldn't get enough of it, and the song landed Kylie her fifth homeland chart-topper while becoming the first Kylie single to enter the UK charts at No.1 (and her first to peak there since 1990's Tears On My Pillow). Spinning Around seemed to capture Kylie's mood perfectly with a sense of spirited liberation that can only come from the confidence of knowing your place in the world. Ultimately, it was the right song at the right time, relaunching her to a public that suddenly remembered what they liked about the pop titan's breezy x-factor in the first place.
"It was a total fluke"
Featuring in the video, a skimpy pair of second-hand gold lamé hotpants – allegedly sourced at a flea market – somehow became almost as famous as the singer, and created an overnight tabloid sensation. Stylist William Baker admitted they'd actually been a last-minute suggestion, telling a newspaper: "No one thought we were creating an icon. It was a total fluke." Having helped Kylie's posterior become almost as celebrated as her singing, the original pair later ended up in London's Victoria & Albert Museum. "I was so self-conscious in them," Kylie would report, "but it's not like my bum can actually do anything, except wriggle." And wriggle it did in the promotional clip that saw Kylie dancing in a nightclub, bathed in a golden tan. If anyone doubted her abilities as a flirtatious siren, this was the real deal.
Light Years – one of Kylie's best records – showcased a range of different pop styles, but Spinning Around was the perfect introduction, featuring so much of Kylie's hit DNA with a trademark melody wrapped in super-tight production. It didn't reintroduce her to the US audience (she'd have to wait until the following year's mega-smash Can't Get You Out Of My Head for that) but, in the summer of 2000, it reset Kylie on the pop podium and, in one stroke, shaped expectation around everything to come.
Check out our best Kylie Minogue songs to find out where Spinning Around lands.

A: In your collector.on("collect", ...)'s callback, you take a parameter i, but use button.deferUpdate() in the body of the function. button is not defined, result in an error, and the interaction times out.
In addition, your message.channel.send(...).then(message) overwrites the original message variable, so your filter is actually looking for interactions from the bot itself.
To fix this, remove the unnecessary variable message from the .then():
message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed], components: [row] }).then(() => {
// ...
Also, change the parameter's name from i to button:
collector.on("collect", async button => {
button.deferUpdate();
// ...
}
Another issue is that collector.on("end") is called within collector.on("collect"). This may be unintended, and you may want to move that outside of the collector.on("collect") callback function.
A: Note that you cecked the wrong value of the button id
use button.customId instead of button.id this is not a correct to check the id.
Also on your collector there is so many resource embed create , practicaly this is a bad idea considering using one function to handle that win and lose :)
for making collector recognized what the component you been using you need to declare the type of components.
Like this.
const collector = message.createMessageComponentCollector({
filter: ifilter,
componenType: "BUTTON",
time: 30000
})
Its seem your collector did not recognized your component.

Red Hat, Inc. provides open source software solutions to more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500 companies, including Internet Service Providers, airlines, healthcare companies and commercial banks. The company has been around for more than two decades and is well known for its Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution. Red Hat provides a fully open technology stack, which you can alter to suit your needs — you're not locked into the vendor's vision of the software or stack components. Red Hat's portfolio of products and services moreover embrace JBoss middleware, cross-platform virtualization, cloud computing (CloudForms and OpenStack) and much more.
The Red Hat certification program aims at system administrators, engineers, architects, enterprise developers and application administrators, as well as cloud and virtualization administrators, who exercise RHEL in their IT infrastructures. The program aims to ensure that candidates are skillful in RHEL by requiring them to pass performance-based certification exams. Whereas many certification exams interrogate multiple selection or fill-in-the-blank questions about specific technologies, Red Hat requires you to execute and complete real-world tasks using Red Hat technologies to pass its exams.
Once you rate a Red Hat certification, you become a Red Hat Certified Professional. This gives you access to Red Hat Certification Central, which allows you to connect with potential employers, join the Red Hat community, create study groups and collaborate on projects. In addition, you can explore Red Hat's training options and easily schedule individual exam sessions. Discounts on recertification exams are offered there as well.
The RHCA is probably Red Hat's most multifarious credential, with specialties in Cloud, Datacenter, Application platform, Application Development and DevOps currently available. Over the past year, Red Hat has retired a distinguished many of its credentials, as you can contemplate from the long list of "Retired Certifications" at the company's total Certifications page.
Red Hat recommends three training classes to prepare for the RHCSA certification. The Windows admin classes are Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hat System Administration II (RH134). Candidates may moreover seize a Linux/UNIX admin class — RHCSA Rapid Track Course RH199 — to prepare for the RHCSA exam.
To obtain the RHCE certification, you must first become RHCSA certified. The recommended training for the RHCE certification is based on your skill level. Windows admins with minimal Linux undergo should seize the Red Hat System Administration I and II (RH124 and RH134) courses, along with the Red Hat System Administration III (RH254) course to prepare for the exam.
Linux or UNIX admins with one to three years of undergo should seize both the RHCSA Rapid Track Course (RH199) and the Red Hat System Administration III (RH254) courses to prepare for the exam. RHCEs looking to recertify, or candidates who'd like the break to engage in a lab-based review before taking the RHCE exam, should seize the RHCE Certification lab (RH299). The certification lab is a four day, instructor-led break to labor through total of the labs from the Red Hat System Administration I, II and III courses, along with the Rapid Track course.
The RHCA certification is the pinnacle cert in the Red Hat Certification program. To qualify for the RHCA, candidates must possess a current RHCE or Red Hat Certified JBoss Developer (RHCJD) credential. Depending on the concentration chosen, five or six exams are required to obtain RHCA certification. Currently, the RHCA is available in five concentrations: Datacenter, Application Platform, DevOps, Cloud and Application Development. Additional prerequisites for the RHCA vary by concentration but generally embrace a combination of exams, other certifications or certificates of expertise in various Red Hat disciplines.
The number of recommended training courses varies for each RHCA concentration (RHCS means "Red Hat Certified Specialist" in the preceding table). At present only candidates who've already taken the retired exams in the DevOps category can rate RHCA: DevOps (hopefully, Red Hat will rectify this situation, or retire the credential). There is moreover some overlap in training course recommendations as shown in the table below.
Formerly, Red Hat offered certifications geared toward IT professionals chummy with Red Hat virtualization and cloud technologies. In addition to the RHCA: Cloud (mentioned previously in this article), one could find Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator, Red Hat Certified System Administrator in Red Hat OpenStack and Red Hat Certified Engineer in Red Hat OpenStack. Today, the final one – namely, RHCE in Red Hat OpenStack – is the only remaining member of this category noiseless available.
The Red Hat Certified Engineer in Red Hat OpenStack is focused on IT professionals who possess the skills necessary to install, deploy and labor with Red Hat Ceph Storage, including creation of obscure devices for Ceph and integration of services with Ceph Storage devices. In addition, Certified Engineers in Red Hat OpenStack can create and manage devices for virtual networks and exercise the OpenStack Neutron Service. Candidates must possess the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) in Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8 to qualify for the credential. In addition to the RHCSA exam (EX210), candidates must moreover pass Red Hat Certified System Engineer in Red Hat OpenStack (EX310), a three-hour performance-based exam. Red Hat recommends that candidates seize the Red Hat OpenStack System Administration Red Hat OpenStack Administration I (CL 110), II (CL210), and III (CL310) courses to prepare.
System administrators are the foundation of deploying Red Hat Linux solutions. As operating system experts, system administrators possess an in-depth information of essential Linux tools as well as file systems and storage. Typical responsibilities embrace creating, configuring, deploying and maintaining Linux systems along with performing updates and maintaining system security.
Red Hat Linux system engineers are the next ratiocinative next step in the career ladder for Red Hat professionals. Not only Do system engineers possess the identical skills as administrators, but they are masters at setting runtime parameters and automating system maintenance through shell scripting. Linux system engineers are moreover experts at configuring system and remote logging, static routes (including packet filter and translation of network addresses), Internet miniature Computer System Interface (iSCSI) initiators, and network services such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Network Time Protocol (NTP), secure shell (SSH), and more.
If system administrators are the foundation of deploying Red Hat solutions, architects are the authors and finishers when it comes to implementing, deploying and maintaining Red Hat solutions. Architects define Red Hat Linux programs and are involved in total phases — creation, progress and testing of proposed solutions, integration with existing systems, defining the overall solution architecture, and providing advocate as the solution moves into production. As theme matter experts, Red Hat Linux architects formulate and deliver RHEL technology recommendations, create required documentation, and provide installation guidance and assistance.
You can moreover find lots of third-party study guidebooks to abet prepare for certification. Just search for "Red Hat Certification" on Amazon and breathe prepared for a lot of results.

Q: Character won't stay in boundary when page gets zoomed So I have the classic set-up where
if (position >= BLA) {
// make it so character doesn't move
}
However the problem with this approach I found is when I set BLA to equal my worlds boundary in a game (i.e. 1500px), it will work fine however when you hit Ctrl++ to zoom in, it messes up and the edges of the character image go outside the boundary. I know I have seen some games where even when you zoom in on the page, the game window doesn't change size. How could I implement that in either JavaScript or CSS?

Orica-GreenEdge announces roster for 2016
Orica-GreenEedge has confirmed a 25-man roster that will give the team a well-rounded squad as it embarks on a fifth season as Australia's first and only WorldTour team.
In an active negotiation year, the construction of the 2016 team included eight omissions, ten contract extensions and seven new signings.
"We had a lot of contracts up at the conclusion of this year and as a result we have probably seen the most roster movement in the team's history," sport director Matt White said. "But after all is said and done, we are extremely pleased with the team we have put together and are excited for what the collective unit can produce next year."
Amongst the seven new additions are three young Australians – signed almost 12 months ago – who will step up from under-23 ranks.
After consecutive second places at the most prestigious junior race, Tour de l'Avenir, 20-year-old Robert Power and 22-year-old Jack Haig join a growing list of talented young climbers like Esteban Chaves and Adam and Simon Yates.
Their companion Alexander Edmondson (21), a former individual pursuit world champion, will follow a similar program as Michael Hepburn as the pair balance road and track commitments in an attempt to qualify for the Rio Olympic Games.
"Rob and Jack are the only Australians in history to podium at the Tour de l'Avenir and Alex has really stepped up a notch this year too, his victory at the under-23 Tour of Flanders was a particular standout and another first for an Australian rider. We are looking forward to seeing them grow and develop in our ranks for years to come." said White
At the other end of the spectrum, White stressed the importance of retaining Orica-GreenEdge's experience, including the team's oldest members.
"With such a talented younger generation of riders, it's easy for people to forget the importance of our elder statesmen but guys like Mat Hayman, Svein Tuft and Michael Albasini are amongst the first and most important to commit to," White explained.
"They have countless years of experience between them, and it's crucial for us that we retain their leadership and knowledge to guide the development of those who will eventually step up to be the leaders of this team."
Complimenting the existing experience will be that of a series of new established signings.
At 35 and 32, Spanish pair Ruben Plaza and Amets Txurruka will play major roles in the mountains, whilst Chris Juul-Jensen will draw on invaluable knowledge from his support role in Alberto Contador's Giro d'Italia victory this year.
Similarly, Slovenian Luka Mezgec brings the knowledge of working with one of the world's best sprinters in Marcel Kittel to the sprint train for the likes of Caleb Ewan and Magnus Cort.
"One of the main reasons for the number of changes for next year is an expansion in the team's objectives after some breakthrough performances in 2015," White said.
"With riders like Chaves and the Yates boys really putting themselves on the world stage, it was time we supported them with further assistance in the mountains.
"Likewise, Luka will add another string to our sprint train and all together we have a group of athletes that really can tackle any terrain across all race formats – one-day races, week-long Tours and Grand Tours. Bring on 2016."

We all need escapism between our daily work and life. And, what could be better than spending a bright Sunday on a cruise voyaging along the Kolkata stretch of the river Ganga. Mr. Santanu Banerjee of 10 Zing Tour Trail organised such an event today. He told me three weeks back about this and without thinking much I agreed to attend the event as I trust and have a good experience of his tour services.
When everything is going digital and online, when people are finding video-call conversations to be more comfortable than face-to-face conversations then me who spends most of the day in front of the computer screen still prefers to socialize, connect and meet with new people and finds face-to-face talks to be more soul connecting. Thanks to Santanu uncle for setting sharad adda session on the cruise.
My father sang Rafi's "Sau sal pehle mujhe tumse pyar tha".
Cheers to the blue sky!
I wish this continues and the people who participated this year joins every year. They were so humble and friendly.
Perhaps, a day well spent. Great blog.

Watch a Chinese probe land on the far side of the Moon
By Andrew Liptak@AndrewLiptak Jan 13, 2019, 5:08pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Watch a Chinese probe land on the far side of the Moon
On January 2nd, China became the first country to land a spacecraft on the Moon's far side (not the dark side) when its Chang'e-4 probe gently touched down the surface. Now, China's space agency has released footage of the landing.
The short video shows the robotic lander flying over the surface of the moon before abruptly tilting to descend (hovering at one point), before safely touching down in its new home, the Von Kármán crater. There, the lander released a rover, Yutu-2, which will explore the area around the lander.
The Chang'e-4 probe is China National Space Administration part of a series of missions designed to explore the surface of the moon, which started in 2007 with the Chang'e-1 orbiter, and was followed in 2010 by the Chang'e-2 orbiter, and the Chang'e-3 lander, which successfully touched down on the near side of the moon in 2013. A fifth mission, which is designed to land on the surface and return samples to Earth, is slated for the end of the year.

THE SIMPSONS: VIRTUAL SPRINGFIELD
The Simpsons were everywhere back in the 90s and for a show that wouldn't air on UK terrestrial TV until its seventh year, that was something. Those kids whose parents were rich enough to have SkyTV were the kings of the playground. When BBC started broadcasting it in 1996, I was hooked and happily a year later Fox Interactive gave us a virtual tour of all that I missed out on. That game was The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield.
So, I didn't quite get all of the references or callbacks as a kid, but what I did get was just as funny as the show it is based on. The aim of the game is to collect a number of well-hidden cards dotted around the cartoon town (74 in total). The reason? There isn't one. It's just a virtual playground of stuff to do and you can see quite a bit without picking up a single card.
Each of the 74 collectable cards scattered around town depict a
Simpsons character, though they are often deviously hard to spot.
You begin in Springfield's Town Square where the one and only Troy McClure introduces the place in a way only he can. You are then given free reign to travel wherever you choose. Some places won't open up until you've seen a certain clue or picked up a certain object. There's no way to really know if you've triggered anything and these clues look just like the many other humourous knickknacks you can look at. Put a little extra thought into it, though, and you can join the dots. For example, if you snoop in Lisa's room and find instructions on how to feed the class gerbil, you will gain access to a cupboard in the school classroom. If you want to collect everything, this kind of puzzle solving is what you can expect. The difficulty mostly comes from sorting what is actually important and what is just for fun.
Almost everything you click on will trigger something fun and often hilarious. Sometimes it's a photo book, a sound clip or a brief animated skit. You will also come across a number of minigames, though not one of them has much depth. Bart's treehouse is the perfect place for a water-bomb minigame (a very basic shooting range) while the arcade has interactive versions of games found in the show. If you ever wanted to play Larry the Looter or Super Slugfest, now you can.
The arcade does have some memorable games to those familiar with the show.
If you are familiar with the show, they're all as bad as you'd expect.
Beyond the barely diverting minigames and the arbitrary treasure hunt, the bulk of the game is spent simply exploring a 3D representation of a town you've only seen in animated form for 30 years (or 10 years in 1997 if you count the Tracey Ullman Show shorts). You'll get to drink a Flaming Moe at Moe's Tavern, destroy heathen deities at Flander's house and cause havoc at Mr Burn's Power Plant. Naturally, the most complete location is the Simpson's home in which every room can be entered. They've always been a bit narcissistic.
If this formula was given to any other property other than The Simpsons, I doubt it would be half as entertaining. The gameplay is almost non-existent but with the show's huge cast and rich history, you get tons of throwbacks to everyone's favourite moments. If you're not a fan, steer clear, but if you are, then jump in and have a blast.
To download the game, follow the link below. This exclusive installer uses PCem running Windows '95. Press Ctrl-Alt-PgDown to toggle fullscreen. Press Ctrl-End or middle mouse button to release the mouse. Tested on Windows 10.
IMPORTANT - Remember to shut down the emulated version of Windows before exiting PCem. This could potentially result in errors, lost saves and corrupt data. Close the program only when it is safe to do so.

I get stuttering on all the dialogue in this one; do you think it's just a PC issue on my part? Is there a way to increase the speed/power of the emulated PC?
Biffman 101 7 May 2018 at 01:23
Hello, if you exit fullscreen (Ctrl-Alt-PgDown) you can see the speed % in the title bar. If it is less than 100%, it's likely your PC isn't beefy enough to handle the emulation. You'll get sound stutters as a result.
You can try installing any new PCem builds from their website but copying the files in the install folder and overwriting the old ones (a new one came out last month - link in the above description). They may be better optimised for lower end machines.
wasabio 11 May 2018 at 00:06
My computer is fairly old by today's standards (dell optiplex 760 from around 2008) so i was afraid windows 95 emulation would be too much for it.
At first i was getting %50-70 speed and audio stuttering. Your mileage may vary, but what i did was, under sound>buffer>, i set it to 50ms, then went to misc>machine> and set it as a "Pentium 90"...now it runs flawlessly, and at 100%!I'm pretty happy n.n it may not work for everyone, and i don't know if i undershot it and it may cause any emulation problems or not, but it seems to run perfectly on my end, so i figured i'd post my experience here.
Thomas 12 May 2018 at 01:15
Thanks a lot, wasabio, for this very useful hint. You know, unfortunately, I have never been a fan of The Simpsons in general, but your PCem boost solution might come in handy for the one or other future production by which Biff is still going to surprise us. :-)
Bye for now,
Biffman 101 20 May 2018 at 00:55
Just seen this. Nice work around! I'll add it to the FAQ.
Stupacabra 20 May 2018 at 22:59
Hey - that workaround totally fixed it. Thank you!
Thank you for fullfilling my request!It's much appreciated.
Very interesting review aswell, now i'll be able to try it out for myself at last n.n
Calum 9 September 2018 at 10:35
Just tried installing this old gem, something's going very wrong.
Whenever I try to run it from the shortcut, it just bleeps and goes to a black screen. I go to the main folder and try running pcem.exe and it says "Disk I/O error. Replace the disk, and then press any key" I try to reload SVS.iso but it has no effect.
And yes, I could find ANY key. Couldn't open a TAB though.
Biffman 101 9 September 2018 at 18:45
Sounds like an issue with the HDD rather than the CD. Did it install correctly? Is the install size equivalent to the details mentioned on the page (~926 Mb)?
My first guess is that the install didn't complete properly due to not finding the .bin file and therefore didn't isntall the HDD or corrupted it. Try following the points in the FAQ for more info.
Calum 6 February 2019 at 19:48
Yes, the file seems to be the right size.
Couldn't find anything in the FAQ that might help me though.
I couldn't see any BIN file in the directory though.
It only seems to run the first time after I install it, from the "Launch Virtual Springfield" option, but even then, it buffers a lot so I need to adjust the setting in it somehow.
When it's installing, it seems to freeze when on 1% and 11% too.
Biffman 101 6 February 2019 at 21:01
The freezing you encounter during install is when it's unpacking a large file like an ISO or virtual HDD. If you wait, it will complete. There shouldn't be a BIN file in the install directory. I guess I meant either the .img file that contains the virtual HDD or the second installation file (Install-SVS.D01 - only the really large games on the site use .bin files). I don't think this last one is the issue as the game worked once for you.
Did you close the program without shutting down the virtual Windows '95? This can corrupt the HDD and can cause a variety of issues (mostly lost saves in my experience but I suspect more dramatic issues like this are possible).
I've just tested a fresh install and it does work for me both at the end point of the install, using the shortcut and the Run.bat which the shortcut links to.
I don't know what you mean by 'buffers' but if you're getting sound stutters that's an issue with your set up. Emulating Win95 takes a lot of resources to run smoothly. There's a new bit of info that may helf with that in the PCEm section of the FAQ.
The "buffering" doesn't seem to be a problem anymore, I just adjust the settings (sound and machine) and it runs very smoothly when I run it the first time.
Also, yes I shut it down properly the first time but the problem still occurs. After I restarted and tried to run it from the shortcut, it says "Windows cannot find PCem.exe" and from the file itself, the same "Disk I/O error" and like I said, I couldn't find anything in the FAQ about it.
BTW the whole "any key" thing at the bottom of my first post was a reference to the episode Homer gained weight to work from home and says "To start press any key. Where's the any key?" in case you didn't know, but I'm sure you did. LOL.
Right click the short cut and see if it links to RUN.bat or PCEM.exe. If it's the latter, there will be some arguments after it. If you edit Run.bat in notepad it should look something like this
start PCem.exe --config ".\configs\SVS.cfg" --fullscreen
Also, stick to the original settings. Changing Machine would likely have repercussions with the Windows emulation - only fiddle with the CPU. What did you change it to? I'll see if I can replicate the error.
Maybe this changed the .cfg file from being relative. Open SVS.cfg in the configs folder in notepad and see if cdrom_path and hdd_fcn are relative (eg .\CD\SVS.iso)
The only other thing I can think of is that if you've installed it in the deafault program files, you don't have the admin rights. Right click and run as admin or install to a different folder outside of Prgram Files. Sometimes its the simplest of solutions...
Or, you could forget the whole thing and order a TAB :)
Amazing. I installed it to a different folder and it seems to be running OK :)
I set the CPU to "Pentium 75" and just lower the buffering to 50. After this, like I said, the sound is still a bit jittery but other than that, it's all good.
No time for that TAB now, the computer's starting!
Try the OpenAL32.dll fix in the FAQ. It makes no difference to my high-end setup but I've read it helps with the stutters. I'm curious to know what impact it has for those with lower spec machines.
To be honest, it doesn't seem to make any difference with mine. Thanks for all your help though.
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for going to the effort of getting this to work in it's own little package!
Hi, I want to run PCem.exe but its saying no roms installed?
Hello. There should be a ROMS folder in the install directory roughly 5-6mb in size. If this didn't get created, try running the installer again as admin and outside of program files.

This is incredible. It's always a pain when I come back to this game and have to figure out one new emulation solution or another. Thanks for putting the game into a neat little package!

Thank you so much for this, so many memories.
Good package. They should have released an expansion to this, still funny/interesting for simpsons fans though.
I got the game running with the sound buffering option at 50%. Most of the stuttering is gone but still just a bit.
Misc>Machine does not give me any options and does nothing when clicked. How do I set the machine to pentium 90?
Btw I installed the game on my C drive in its own floder rather than the default instalation.
Thanks for any advice and thanks for making the game available and playable.
The folder shouldn't make any difference unless it is in Program Files (or Windows folder, but why would anyone do that?!). I do know PCEm does take up a lot of resources - much, much more than the original game required upon release. There's more info about this on the FAQ. May try downloading the newest version from the PCEm website. You can copy it over and overwrite the files without issue. I believe it may be a little more optimised than the one packaged here.
Thank you for providing this great package of a fantastic specimen of a game from the golden era. AFter stumbled upon much obstacles, your solution works perfectly. I hope you'll continue to provide the community with your awesome stash o' games. Thanks again.
It doesn't recognise my "end" key so none of the hotkeys will work.

It's been a while since I played it but I don't recall any conflict with keys. This sounds like DOSBox mapper issue. Press Ctrl-F1 to enter the keyboard mapper where you can change it to something else.

Kuter – jednomasztowy jacht żaglowy mający dwa albo trzy przednie żagle (sztaksle). Maszt na kutrze jest zazwyczaj usytuowany bliżej środka łodzi (mniej wysunięty ku przodowi) niż w slupie, co pozwala na postawienie większej liczby sztaksli. Położenie masztu było dawniej podstawą do rozróżnienia tych dwóch typów: kuter posiadał maszt w połowie długości, lub nawet bliżej rufy, natomiast slup pomiędzy środkiem a dziobem. Położenie masztu na widocznym rysunku jest jak dla jachtu slup (blisko dziobu).
Kuter może nosić grot gaflowy (w takim przypadku możliwy jest również topsel) lub grot bermudzki. Nazywany jest wtedy odpowiednio kutrem gaflowym lub kutrem bermudzkim.

Mirror Dance is a Hugo- and Locus-award-winning science fiction novel by Lois McMaster Bujold. Part of the Vorkosigan Saga, it was first published by Baen Books in March 1994, and is included in the 2002 omnibus Miles Errant.
Plot summary
Mark, Miles Vorkosigan's clone, masquerades as him and dupes his mercenary force, the Dendarii, into undertaking a mission to free about 50 clones on Jackson's Whole, an anything-goes freebooters' planet where Mark was created and raised. These teenage clones are scheduled to have their brains replaced by those of their wealthy, aged progenitors. When Miles finds out, he attempts to rescue his troops and his brother from the mess Mark has made, but is killed by a needle grenade. He is frozen in a cryonic chamber on the spot, but the medic in charge becomes separated from the rest of the men while retreating under fire. The medic uses an automated shipping system to send the chamber to safety, but is killed before he can tell anyone what he did and where he sent it.
The Dendarii flee the debacle and take Mark to Miles' parents on Barrayar. Cordelia accepts him as another son and has him acknowledged legally as a member of the family. After a while, Mark becomes frustrated by Barrayaran Imperial Security's lack of progress; he is convinced that Miles is still on Jackson's Whole, and decides to go there himself. Cordelia helps by buying him a starship. He invites some of the Dendarii along, including Captain Quinn, Miles' second-in-command and lover.
Meanwhile, Miles has been secretly received and resuscitated by the Duronas, a research group cloned from a medical genius and employed by Jackson's Whole magnate Baron Fell. They hope they have Miles (rather than Mark) under their care, but he is suffering from normal, hopefully temporary, post-revival amnesia, so they are unsure. The Duronas wish to hire the Dendarii, who are known for pulling off difficult extractions, to help them escape from Jackson's Whole. Miles' memory takes some time to return.
Mark finds Miles, but is captured by Miles' old nemesis, Baron Ryoval, and tortured for five days. His personality fragments into four sub-personalities: Gorge the glutton, Grunt the sex pervert, Howl the masochist, and Killer the assassin. Together, the first three protect Mark's fragile persona, while Killer bides his time. When Ryoval's assistant informs him that Mark seems to have adjusted remarkably quickly and is actually enjoying the torture, a frustrated Ryoval decides to study his victim alone. Killer takes the opportunity to kill Ryoval, enabling Mark to escape. Mark sells Ryoval's security access codes to Baron Fell for a large sum of money and the Durona Group's freedom.
Miles' short death and revivification have serious repercussions for his health. Mark has his own problems, thanks to his strange upbringing, complicated by the torture. When he asks his mother for help, she sends him to Beta Colony for psychiatric treatment and therapy.
By necessity, this novel is told from the viewpoints of Miles and Mark. This was the first novel in the Vorkosigan series to be written this way, though not the first time Bujold has employed this style; the first occasion was in Falling Free.
Awards
Mirror Dance won both the Hugo Award for Best Novel and the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1995.

The beautifully pure snowdrop is the first flower of the year. The blossoming of the snowdrop is a sign, that the winter is transforming to springtime. Although you would be forgiven for thinking we are still in the coldest part of midwinter given the huge amount of snowfall settling around us this month.
For my nature loving girl, staying inside hibernating against the elements will only work for so long. She was absolutely desperate to play outside but, as she was still recovering from a nasty flu virus I was a little reluctant to let her brave the weather. However, by the third day of deep snowfall I think we were all craving some fresh air. Enid our cat loved it too.
February is always a wonderfully sentimental month for us. We celebrate our wedding anniversary towards the end of the month and for Neiva that means an extra special family day which she absolutely loves. We always start the day present opening with a bubbly bucks fizz followed by pancakes which Neiva always makes for her Daddy. To look at it she wont be winning any Michelin stars but Paul says its the best pancake he's ever tasted.
How beautiful are my anniversary flowers? I absolutely love Bloom & Wild. Their ethos is simple; flowers, delivered with love. Bloom & Wild have kindly given me a code so you can celebrate with us and save 20% on any of their stunning flowers here. My bouquet is the Aspen.
