Open Letter from Save the Mekong Coalition to MRC Development Partners
In advance of the Mekong River Commission's Informal Donor Meeting this week, the Save the Mekong Coalition writes the open letter to express serious and ongoing concern over the outstanding issues and questions surrounding hydropower dam construction on the mainstream of the Mekong River.
The Coalition calls on Mekong River Commission developments partners to:
Renew their calls to the MRC to effect the release of the current designs for the Xayaburi dam and clarification of the status of the Prior Consultation process for the Don Sahong Dam;
Require reform of the MRC's procedures before any further project is commenced, including requirements for comprehensive assessments and release of information, meaningful public participation and the transparent resolution of disputes;
Reconsider their support to the MRC if it remains unable to fulfil the purpose of ensuring adherence to the spirit and principles of the 1995 Mekong Agreement.
The Open Letter: English, Thai versions, and Vietnamese news on the letter (updated).

Public consultations for Don Sahong dam commence
The first regional public consultation on the Don Sahong hydropower project took place in Pakxe town of Champassak province on Friday to further the Mekong River Commission's prior consultation process.
Don Sahong channel where the proposed 260-megawatt hydropower project in the south of Laos is planned.
The meeting served as a forum for experts from Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam to share their concerns and pose questions about the proposed 260-megawatt run-of-river project in the south of Laos.
The forum was also open to civil society, non-governmental organisations, research institutes and regional and international organisations.
The public consultation is part of the transparency process by which the Lao government can share information about the merits of the hydropower project with all interested parties in the four countries.
About 100 people attended the regional public consultation, which was organised by the Mekong River Commission (MRC).
A site visit to Don Sahong was arranged on Thursday so the stakeholders could see the project for themselves and ask questions of the project staff, experts and the villagers who live near the site.
Lao Ministry of Energy and Mine's Policy and Planning Department Director General Dr Daovong Phonekeo told Vientiane Times that "We have collected information about this project since 2007, notably the issues related to water flow, fish passage and water quality.
Surveys conducted by foreign experts enable us to explain to the participants that everything about the project has been done in a scientific manner."
"We're confident that at the end of the regional consultation, the participants will have more information and gain better understanding about the Don Sahong project. We hope that their concerns will be put to rest because we are being transparent and open with this information."
This is the second time that the MRC has carried out the Prior Consultation process for a project along the Mekong River in Laos.
The first process conducted for the Xayaboury Hydropower Project in the north of Laos resulted in important improvements to that project, which is also a run-of-river scheme that requires no large reservoir.
Chief Executive Officer of the MRC Secretariat Mr Hans Guttman said: "As a result of the prior consultation for Xayaboury some recommendations from other member countries have been taken into account by Laos in the redesign of the Xayaboury project. But there were important lessons to be learnt."
"… for the Don Sahong project, several national consultation/information sharing meetings have been organised by the respective National Mekong Committees and more are planned. In addition, we have the opportunity to carry out a public consultation at the regional level like today."
The purpose of the Prior Consultation process is not to seek approval for a proposed project. Rather, it is a platform for Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, as notified countries, to raise issues of concern on potential effects the project may have on their territories, with technical review and analysis facilitated by the MRC Secretariat, he said.
In September 2013, the Lao government submitted the project proposal for Don Sahong Hydropower project under the notification process to the MRC Secretariat.
It (the government) later agreed to put the project under the prior consultation process in a move to allay concerns raised by its neighbours. The six-month prior consultation process will end on January 25, 2015.
The Lao PDR is committed to keeping alive the spirit of the 1995 Mekong Agreement, which aims to promote comprehensive cooperation for sustainable development in the region.

Q: Byte truncation casting from void* on Arduino I'm hoping that someone can help me diagnose this odd behavior that I'm experiencing. I'm programming for the Arduino Due and using the Adafruit FONA modem. The code in question submits an array of bytes to be sent over the modem. sendData is taking an unsigned char[] which I cast to void*. data_len is the number of bytes written to the buffer rather than the size of the buffer itself.
The board I'm working with doesn't use printf/sprintf to print to stdout. Instead this is done using Serial.print and Serial.println. Serial here is an Arduino class, not the standard C++ class. sprintf_ByteArray I wrote to examine the contents of a byte buffer, with the results reflected as hex bytes.
As I mentioned my ultimate goal here is to write data to the modem. This is done in the fonaSerial->println and fonaSerial->write calls. The first issues a modem command with the size of the data to be written. The second writes the data.
But I'm experiencing something screwy. The result of printing data and String message is displayed below. Inexplicably to me, message only contains the last 119 bytes of data. At first, this didn't surprise me as data includes null bytes and I assumed that those were somehow to blame. But, message actually includes null bytes! And, I would have expected message to represent the first N bytes of data, up until the first null byte.
Lastly: I end by casting data to a uint8_t* and passing to fonaSerial->write. Initially I had been passing a String but after I had trouble casting I decided to try this alternative tack. I then send this data to a server I'm running. The server only gets a payload of 119 bytes too.
For the record, earlier I successfully sent a smaller payload. I have no idea what I'm doing now that is causing the problem.
bool sendData(void *data, size_t data_len) {
char tmp[1024] = {0};
Serial.print("data_len=");Serial.println(data_len);
sprintf_ByteArray(tmp, (unsigned char*) data, data_len);
Serial.print("Payload (void*)=");Serial.println(tmp);
String message = (const char*) data;
Serial.print("Payload (String)=");Serial.println(message);
fonaSerial->print(F("AT+CIPSEND="));
fonaSerial->println(data_len);
fona.readline(3000);
fonaSerial->write((uint8_t*) data, data_len);
fonaSerial->flush();
fona.readline(3000); // wait up to 3 seconds to send the data
Serial.print (F("\t<--- ")); Serial.println(fona.replybuffer);
return (strcmp(fona.replybuffer, "SEND OK") == 0);
}
Payload (void*)= 8a a5 62 69 64 00 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 01 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 1d 65 73 74 61 74 65 02 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f 95 a5 62 69 64 01 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 01 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 42 65 73 74 61 74 65 62 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f 97 a5 62 69 64 02 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 00 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 29 65 73 74 61 74 65 06 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f 98 a5 62 69 64 03 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 01 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 26 65 73 74 61 74 65 01 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f 99 a5 62 69 64 04 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 01 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 2f 65 73 74 61 74 65 62 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f 9a a5 62 69 64 05 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 01 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 1d 65 73 74 61 74 65 06 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f 9c a5 62 69 64 18 42 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 18 75 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 69 65 73 74 61 74 65 18 6c 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 1a 67 6e 69 64 a5 62 69 64 18 20 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 18 6c 67 62 61 74 74 65 [72 79 18 6f 65 73 74 61 74 65 18 74 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 1a 00 6e 39 20 a5 62 69 64 62 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 00 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 40 65 73 74 61 74 65 74 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f a0 a5 62 69 64 74 69 63 6f 6e 64 69 74 69 6f 6e 00 67 62 61 74 74 65 72 79 18 43 65 73 74 61 74 65 74 69 74 69 6d 65 73 74 61 6d 70 19 0f a1]

A: try this 'to_string' converter:
String to_string(unsigned char *data,unsigned int len){
String memtmp="";
unsigned char tmpdata;
for(unsigned int i=0;i<len;i++){
tmpdata=*(data+i);
memtmp+=String(tmpdata,HEX);
memtmp+=" ";
}
return memtmp;
}
I hope this can help. Good luck!

Joan Hopwood LeBaron, 85, of Hurricane, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, passed away peacefully Nov. 16, 2017, with her sons David and Steve by her side.
Joan was born Jan. 31, 1932, in Stretford, Manchester, England. She was the fifth and youngest child of Robert and Caroline Flynn Hopwood. When she was seven years old, she and her sister, Olive, were evacuated to Mobberly, Cheshire in the countryside outside of Manchester, where it was thought best that the children should be sent to be safer at the beginning of World War II. Olive soon went home because of homesickness, but Joan stayed for about a year. She loved the adventure of it but was thrilled to go home with her father when he came to visit her.
She arrived back in Manchester just in time for Hitler's Blitz in December of 1940. Everyone spent their nights in the air shelters, which many of the children found to be a great adventure. They were required to carry gas masks to school each day, along with candy or a snack, in case they had to go straight from school to the shelters and had to stay overnight. Joan enjoyed this and had to replenish her snacks and candy every day even if there was no time spent in the shelter.
She always felt very safe and loved as a child and very well protected by her family. She loved school and her headmistress told her mother she was the happiest child she'd ever seen at the school. Her favorite job there was tea monitor because she got to leave class to make tea for all of the teachers and was allowed to have a cup for herself. She loved P.E. and was one of the fastest runners in her class. She loved to do everything when she was young, an enthusiasm that carried on through her whole life.
When Joan was 12 years old, she became pen pals with Allan LeBaron, a young farm boy from Santaquin. They wrote off and on for years. In 1954, Allan decided to look up his old pen pal while he was delivering a plane to England for the United States Air Force. They quickly fell in love during his succeeding trips and were married on Dec. 8, 1954 in Manchester. She came to live with him in the United States the following year, where they lived in Texas, San Luis Obispo, California, Santa Monica, California, and finally in the San Diego, California, area where they settled to raise their family.
Joan spent the following years raising her three children and supporting Allan in his career. When he retired in 1995, they moved to Hurricane where they planted and cared for their peach orchard. Joan loved to accompany Allan and to help him as he worked in the field. Over ten years ago Joan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. She was able to stay at home in Allan's care until 2 1/2 years ago, when he decided it was best for her to live in an assisted living facility. Along with the tender care of many CNAs, Allan still took loving care of her and never allowed her to be without a family member or her caregiver by her side.
Joan was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, Allan; her parents, Robert and Caroline Hopwood; her brother, Bobby (Norah) Hopwood; her sisters, Evelyn (Herbert) Earl; Joyce (Alan) Bellass; and Olive Ellis.
She is survived by her sons, David and Steven LeBaron, of St. George; daughter, Linda (Laurence) Crane of Overland Park, Kansas; granddaughters Caroline (Anthony) John of Overland Park, Kansas; Jill (Jacob) Allred of Salt Lake City; Emily (Matthew) Wilson of Overland Park, Kansas; Melanie (Andrew) Starita of Satellite Beach, Florida; and Laura (Trevor) Tom of Orem; great-grandchildren Will, Lauren, and Elliott John; Tyler and Michael Wilson; and Leah and Caleb Starita; her brother-in-law Frank Ellis of England; her sister-in-law, Janet (Boyd) Carter, Spanish Fork; and many nieces and nephews who she loved and admired.
We would like to thank the doctors, nurses, hospice workers, and the incredible CNAs who helped to care for our mom the last few years of her life. We couldn't have done this without you.
Services will be held Saturday, Dec. 2, 2017 at 11 a.m. with a visitation at 10 a.m., at the Spilsbury Mortuary in St. George.
Burial will be held immediately following the service at the St. George Cemetery.

Miniclip is a large scale developer and publisher of mobile games. Their user acquisition team is responsible for managing mobile campaigns for a number of different apps globally. Working with 15+ UA channels meant the team were investing a lot of time in getting all their performance data from a number of disparate sources, and manually compiling it into excel spreadsheets to make sense of the data. Miniclip wanted to spend more time optimising their campaigns and focus more on their overall user acquisition strategy. That's when they looked for a 3rd party tool to help them connect all of their UA channels in one dashboard.
"What's important when it comes to data aggregation", said Jonathan, "is how much detail you get out of it". It was important for Miniclip to be able to deep dive into the individual performance of sub-publishers, for example, or individual ads. This level of detail really allowed Miniclip to assess the performance of campaigns.
Working with Appsumer enabled Miniclip to spend more time working on campaign management and optimisations, ensuring that they hit their performance targets.

McCartney makes up with Ono
The Lennon-McCartney "trademark" stays, says Sir Paul
Sir Paul McCartney has patched up a row with Yoko Ono over Beatles songs credits, as he prepares to play the final show of his world tour in Liverpool.
The pair had argued over whose name should come first in the Beatles' legendary writing credit Lennon-McCartney.
Sir Paul, who will play to 30,000 fans in the city's Kings Dock, had orginally asked Ono to approve the change to denote which songs were, in the most part, his creation.
But she refused, and on his recent Back In The US live album, all Beatles tracks were credited to McCartney-Lennon.
Now Sir Paul has told the the Glasgow-based Sunday Herald he is content to let the matter lie.
He said: "I'm happy with the way it is and always has been.
Ono refused a request to switch the credits
"Lennon and McCartney is still the rock 'n' roll trademark I'm proud to be a part of - in the order it has always been."
Home city show
Thousands of fans are in the Beatles' home city for Sunday's final date of the Back in the World tour, during which Sir Paul will have played to two million people.
On the playlist are Beatles classics including Hey Jude and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The European leg of the year-long tour began in Paris and included dates in Rome, Dublin and Moscow.
When he announced that Liverpool would be the final date, Sir Paul said: "I can't do a world tour without bringing it home."
The former Beatle last played in Liverpool more than a decade ago.
One fan, Eleanor Wilde, said she had gone to great lengths to make sure she had a ticket for the final concert.
Sir Paul's wife Heather is expected to be in the audience in Liverpool
"I tried to find them anyway I could, even the internet. It's his home town. He's going to feel comfortable and the audience will be behind him 100%," she said.
Cavern show
On Friday night, Sir Paul played a secret gig at the city's Cavern Club - close to the original club of the same name where the Beatles made their name in the 1960s.
He played three songs, including Let It Be and We Are Family, at the crew's end-of-tour party.
His pregnant wife Heather attended the party, along with around 150 crew members and a few of McCartney's close friends and family.
Sir Paul will mark the end of the tour by giving a £17,000 Volkswagen Beetle to one audience member.
The BBC's Judith Moritz
"The fans have waited 13 years to see McCartney play in Liverpool"

Anarchy Club is an alternative rock/electronica duo from Boston, Massachusetts. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Keith Smith, who is a former member of the band C60, and Adam von Buhler, who plays guitar (including all solos), bass, drums, and other instruments, and is a former member of the band Splashdown.
History
Friends Adam von Buhler and Keith Smith formed the band in the winter of 2004.
Their debut album, The Way and Its Power, was released in 2005.
The album contained the song "Behind the Mask," which appeared in the PlayStation 2 game Guitar Hero as a bonus track. Smith was an employee of Harmonix Music Systems until 2010, and von Buhler's former bandmate, Kasson Crooker, is its audio director.
"Collide" (from their 2007 release, A Single Drop of Red) is a bonus track for Guitar Hero II. Of the 24 bonus tracks in the game, GameSpy named "Collide" as one of the five best.
"Blood Doll" is an unlockable track from the MTV/Harmonix game Rock Band.
"Get Clean" is an in-game track from the MTV/Harmonix game Rock Band 2, featured in the "Impossible" section.
Pre-Anarchy Club
During Keith's time in C60, that band won 6 Boston music awards (5 of them in one year) and shared stages with bands such as Kiss, Run DMC, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine and others. Some of their songs were also featured in the TV shows Dawson's Creek and The Shield.
Meanwhile, Adam worked with the band Splashdown, and recorded an unreleased album with producer Glen Ballard. During his time signed to Capitol Records, he toured the country with Splashdown and had several songs in movies (Titan A.E. and others) and television shows (Charmed, Angel and many more).
A Single Drop of Red (2007)
Anarchy Club released their second CD, A Single Drop of Red, in December 2007. The record was an EP featuring 5 new tracks (including "Collide", not previously available on CD), and 6 remixes of fan favorites from "The Way and its Power". The song "Blood Doll" from this CD additionally appeared as a bonus track in Harmonix's music video game Rock Band which came out later that year. In the PS2 version of the game, Keith and Adam appear as characters on stage during the performance of "Blood Doll".
The Art of War (2009)
The duo released their second full-length CD (and third overall), The Art of War, in October 2009. At the same time, two Anarchy Club songs, "Blood Doll" and "Get Clean", appeared as DLC in the iPhone and iPad versions of the official Rock Band game.
Life In The Underground (2012)
On May 31, 2012, the duo released their third full album, "Life In The Underground". Also in 2012, many previously released Anarchy Club songs began to appear as downloadable content for the Rock Band Network.
Dead Star Cult (2020)
In 2019, Keith posted on the band's blog that he'd been feeling boxed-in creatively by the Anarchy Club concept. So he and Adam decided to start over from scratch, launching the new band Dead Star Cult.

Anritsu Company to Participate in OIF Technology Demonstration Highlighting 56G Interfaces and Pluggable Coherent Optics
MP1800A BERT and MZ1834A PAM4 Converter to be Part of High-speed Interconnect Live, Operating Environments
Richardson, TX – March 21, 2016
Anritsu Company (OFC booth #2813) will be participating in live technology demonstrations to be conducted in the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) booth (#3619) at OFC 2016, March 22-24 in Anaheim. The OIF demonstrations will showcase multi-vendor interoperability of two key technologies – pluggable coherent optics and 56G electrical interfaces – that will cover a range of channel reaches from Very Short Reach (VSR) to Long Reach (LR), and include NRZ and PAM4 modulation formats. Live CFP2-ACO pluggable coherent optics, based on the recently announced OIF implementation agreement, will also be part of the display.
Combining the Anritsu MZ1834A PAM4 Converter with the MP1800A Signal Quality Analyzer (SQA) BERT allows for generation of high-quality 56G PAM4 signals, as well as the ability to conduct PAM4 BER measurements with jitter tolerance. The MP1800A/MZ1834A configuration will generate signals that will be transmitted through CEI-56G-VSR-PAM and CEI-56G-MR-PAM4 compliance boards, as part of the CEI-56G-MR-NRZ Cable and CEI-56G-MR-PAM4 Cable demonstration.
"Anritsu is glad to once again participate in the OIF technology demonstrations that are shaping the industry through the development of high-speed interconnects that satisfy the market need for greater bandwidth. Our MP1800A and MZ1834A integrated solution has the high performance necessary to help design engineers validate 56G connectivity products," said Hiroshi Goto, Business Development Manager, Anritsu Company.
OIF PLL Interoperability Demo 2016
OIF member companies will demonstrate multi-vendor interoperability of Pluggable Coherent Optics and 56G Electrical Interfaces in live, operating environments. The OIF's Physical and Link Layer working group demonstrations include live 56G electrical interface interoperability over a range of channel reaches from VSR to LR and a range of modulations including NRZ and PAM4. The expanding ecosystem for CFP2-ACO pluggable coherent optics will be showcased through live demos. 56G and coherent optics test equipment will also be demonstrated.
Public demonstrations will be on display March 22-24, 2016 at OFC in Anaheim, CA in OIF Booth #3619. Additional information can be found at http://www.oiforum.com/meetings-and-events/oif-ofc-2016/

CCS Research Studies
The immunobiology of pregnancy, and impacts in women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD)
Subject area of study:
Multiple sclerosis, pregnancy outcomes
Title of study:
Brief outline of the study:
Pregnancy may have beneficial health effects for women with relapsing-remitting MS in the form of less long-term disability. We are seeking to identify the biological mechanisms that underpin this benefit by following Australian women with and without MS over a 3-5 year period. In these women, we will track changes that occur to the immune system before, during, and after pregnancy, and compare these changes against the immune activity in women of the same age who do not have children. The results of this research may help reveal the biological process behind the start and progression of MS and in the development of new treatments. It may also help us to better understand the biological processes behind fertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy-associated conditions such as pre-eclampsia.

When I was little I loved to play Tea Party. I would set up my dolls and stuffed animals and play tea with my Olivia Tea Set. (Who else remembers Olivia the pig?!) For my sixth birthday, I had a Tea Party Party where we got to get dressed up in fancy dresses and have our makeup done and have lemonade for tea. Even if you asked my little brother he can tell you about the tea parties I made him have with me. Even now I love having tea and am always down to make anything a party. Tea parties shouldn't be restricted to 'fancy occasions' and little kids play time. You just need to know how to make it feel special.
2. Invite some friends over and make it an official party. As you get older you don't get to see your friends as often as you did when you were back in high school so making Tea an occasion is a perfect reason to get the gang back together.
4. Making cute tea sandwiches. Don't feel you need to have plain tea sandwiches. Spice up the plain cucumber tea sandwiches by making other exciting ones like chicken salad or even Nutella.
5. Let your childhood self play. Sometimes as we grow older we start to forget how it was to just play. Throwing a no reason tea party is the perfect way to take a break from everyday adult life and slip back into the spontaneous mindset of your younger self.
So throw together a tea party playlist, put on your fanciest dress, and let your childhood self come out to play.
Did you play tea party as a kid? Let me know your favorite thing about tea parties in the comments below!

PennCNV implements a HMM that integrates multiple sources of information to infer CNV calls for individual genotyped samples. It differs form segmentation-based algorithm in that it considered SNP allelic ratio distribution as well as other factors, in addition to signal intensity alone.
In addition, PennCNV can optionally utilize family information to generate family-based CNV calls by several different algorithms. Furthermore, PennCNV can generate CNV calls given a specific set of candidate CNV regions, through a validation-calling algorithm.
Data processing protocol for Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. It converts raw CEL files into a signal intensity file that contains Log R Ratio (LRR) and B Allele Frequency (BAF) vlaues.

Early voting system down, group asks for more time
The early voting system in Wisconsin was down for some time Friday, preventing county clerks from registering any absentee ballots filed.
Early voting wraps up at 5 p.m. Friday, but the group One Wisconsin Now is demanding that early voting hours be extended to accommodate the just over two hours for when the system was down.
"They broke it, and Gov. Walker and his administration ought to do everything in their power to fix it — including extending hours at the DMV and allowing polling places to stay open for more hours of early voting," One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross said in a statement Friday.
Brown County Clerk Sandy Juno said that this year's absentee voting has had a higher turnout than a regular spring election, but still not as much as the general election sees in November. She went on to say that early voting is a growing trend.
More than 170,000 absentee ballots were sent out this year out this year. Eighty-seven thousand of them were turned in in-person to clerk's offices around the state.

Essay about Should There Be a Ban on Fashion Shows
...The world's first ban on models looking skinny to an excessive degree of being characterized as ''Anorexic'' women took place in madrid during a top-level fashion show. A Model is defined as ''One serving as an example to be emulated or imitated, served as or used as a model''. That's not what modeling has come to. We are not exposing women naturally marked by beauty anymore, we are revealing a pathological condition, a result of disease, a psychological disorder and there has to be a start! Why not just use models of all sizes? Not all women are built the same and the fashion industry needs to realize that. Instead of picking the perfect body type, using all body types would allow women of all shapes and sizes to be comfortable with themselves, this would reduce eating disorders and drug uses. Girls of all body types wouldn't seek perfection because they would get the message that there is no such thing. The biggest problem with too thin models and celebrities is that they are the people that young girls want to be,or look like. Having a healthy body is far more important that anything else. But girls from very early ages on, who have low self-images are doing very unhealthy things to try to be skinny. Second of All, women should be choosen based on their ability to walk the runway and not by their size but by their ability to model(walk technic, healthy things). I think the success of the model...

... Reflections on Fashion ''Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.' Oscar Wilde Fashion. For some it is everything, it merely represents a way of living; for others, it is a living hell! To look like nobody else is a sufficiently mortifying reflection; to be in danger of being mistaken for one of the rabble is even worse. Fashion constantly begins and ends in the two things it detests most, singularity and vulgarity. Every person nourishes an innate desire of looking good and feel 'accepted' in the socio-economic circle. The word fashion instantaneously brings to mind a flash of color with a dash of glamour. Women especially are taking to fashion in a big way, and are experimenting with different looks, styles, and textures. Fashion plays an increasingly important role in an individual's life because it is considered as a means of self-expression. The garments and accessories that men or women wear, help them identify with a group of others- whether it is a lifestyle, profession, a religion, or an attitude. Thus, the term 'fashion' has become synonymous with the overall growth of the country as well. There is nothing to be ashamed of being fashionable. But excess of everything is bad and should be avoided. To live in style, dress well- colorfully and smartly makes life...
Fashion Identity Essay
...Fashion (is) a key resource through which individuals in late modernity construct their identities and position themselves in relation to others. Bennett, A.( 2005). Culture and Everyday Life. London Sage. p. 115. Discuss this statement with reference to individual examples. This essay will explore the importance of fashion, and how style is used to construct identities of individuals in particular those who followed the New Romantic movement of the late Seventies through to the early Eighties A movement of posers, who cared for dressing up in their flamboyant finery, experimenting with gender sterotyps and being as unique as possible at the start of a new, emerging London nightlife with the pioneering music of the time. It will discuss how subcultures and style-tribes position themselves with in society, using topical theories from academics such as Joanne Entwistle and Ted Polhemous Identity, in social science, is described as an individuals conception and expression of their individuality or group affiliations, taking into account their characteristics, attitudes and so on. It is a label to the individual, either given by another party or by the individual itself and more often than not also consists of using stereotypes to pin these labels to each individual. Subculture is a ways of breaking down the mass culture of society into smaller pockets, usually of the youth group. Again, much relying on stereotypes, these gangs or groups...
Should Baseball Ban the Dh? Essay
...Should Baseball Ban the DH? The designated hitter rule has positively influenced Major League Baseball since the American League adopted it in 1973. Not only should it be upheld in the American League, but should also be adopted in the National League. The DH rule allows a designated hitter to bat for pitchers in the batting order. One of the biggest reasons that the DH should be used is that pitchers can't hit. Who would you rather see, Manny Ramirez, who had a batting average of .327 last season, or Randy Johnson, who only batted .127. The majority of baseball fans would rather see a batter that can hit the ball instead of a pitcher swinging and missing. The commissioner is in favor of abolishing the DH, but there is one problem. "The problem is that the all-mighty players' union loves the DH because it creates an extra roster spot and enables good hitters to hang on for several years after their prime." If the players want the DH rule then we should keep it. Why get rid of something that the players don't want to get rid of. Japan and the National League are the only two places not using the DH. Another reason to keep the DH is that it does allow good hitters to keep playing baseball. Without the DH position, the careers of many great players would have been cut short. Hall-of-famer Eddie Murray and future hall-of-famers Harold Baines and Paul Molitor finished...

CONCERNED YOUTH FOR PEACE FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE FASHION SHOW HELD ON THE 22ND MARCH 2008 AT THE NDURARUA GROUND KAWANGWARE INTRODUCTION Concerned Youth for Peace carried out a talent show on Saturday the 22nd of March 2008 at the Kawangware sports ground. It was initially meant to be a fashion show but due to the time limitation and late disbursement of funds we found it difficult to undertake the fashion show as agreed on the grant proposal. The disbursement of funds was done on the 20th /03/08 by the lead agency, Youth Initiatives Kenya YIKE). The amount received as funded and agreed was 80,000shs whose 10% went to the lead agency(YIKE). Implementation of activities began upon the release of the grant. This project incorporated youth from different ethnic backgrounds which was considered as an achievement in that specific area. Most of the young people got to expose their talents i.e in music, fashion show and sports. It helped build their self esteem and...

...elderly care, 'Our health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services', was published in 2006.[2] Concerns have been expressed about the standard of nutrition which elderly patients have received in hospital. This has prompted Age UK to issue its guidance 'Seven Steps To End Malnutrition'.[3] Age discrimination Patients should be treated according to clinical need rather than age. This might seem self-evident but may present pragmatic difficulties. Some clinicians might balk at the idea of referring an 85 year-old for coronary artery bypass surgery but, if the patient is otherwise fit for surgery and wants the operation, they should be offered the chance to have it.

Sorry for the tardiness in getting this up here but somehow this video slipped through the net and I never got around to posting it on Bikes n' Stuff. This summer has been as hectic as always so I've been trying to stay on top of all the different strands of things that make up my life but sometimes I slip up. If you'd like to see all my video as soon as they come out without having to wait for me to get my act together do subscribe to my YouTube channel – it's totally free and will mean you're the first to see new releases.
Speaking of that, I've not actually managed to get one done this week and I squarely blame our new kitten Socks. She is devastatingly cute and means my productivity has pretty much halved as I spend so much time either cuddling her and stroking her belly or scooping her out of my potted house plants where she seems determined to play. Aside from kicking dirt absolutely everywhere, she also did a wee inside an upturned hat and a very expensive felt hat too. Scamp!
Anyway as you can see I get distracted easily. One minute I'm writing about YouTube and the next I've gone off on a tangent about cats. So back to the matter at hand – the Fixed 42 World Championships.
I won't go into enormous detail here as the video is pretty much self explanatory but just briefly, Fixed 42 is a 42 km race on brakeless track bikes (aka fixies/fixed gear bikes) that sees participants race from outside Berlin along the autobahn and around the city centre on closed roads. It's also unofficially the fixed gear world champs and as such, when I came second last year I became vice-champion!
I was excited to race for a second time in 2017 and lined up against an even bigger and stronger women's field hoping with my eyes set on the podium once again. Check out the video below to find out what happened.

The mercurial growth of the Indian automobile industry in the last year has had a positive effect on a number of other sectors in general and the automotive components manufacturing sector in particular. This was evident by the rise in growth rate of almost all companies operating in this sector. The growing demand for automobile leads to a surging demand for spares and components hence it has been an all-inclusive growth.
In a recent report Bharat Forge, market leader in auto component manufacturing, has registered a growth of an astonishing 118%, which is an exclusive net profit for the quarter ending December 2010. The log book for exports registered a Rs 359 crores in exports. According to the same set of reports, it was observed that the sky rocketing of exports was not limited to any segment or geography. Despite the slow down witnessed in America and much of Europe, huge number of exports was achieved.
Bharat Forge, based in Pune, reported a net profit to the tune of Rs 83 crores for the end of third quarter which was an astounding growth over Rs 38 crores in the previous year. Revenues of the company jumped 55.81 per cent from Rs 507 crores to Rs 790 crores. B N Kalyani, CMD of Bharat Forge was quoted as saying that the quarter was very significant for the company owing to the strong performance of both international and Indian operations. The recovery in North America and European countries gives the company further hope to grow and continue on this path. The new strategy adopted by the company to increase its share of the market in sectors other than automobiles is seen paying off. It was further reported that strong volumes of transaction were recorded in the company's dealing in the non-automotive sector from both export and the domestic market.

ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir in Manhattan on Aug. 7, 2018.
On ABC's World News Tonight with David Muir, the nation's best-liked anchorman could well be made of pixels, so effectively does the newscast approximate the digital vibrancy of a computer screen. But put the man on a New York City street at midday and his corporeal reality is affirmed by a steady stream of strangers, mostly women and mostly of a certain age.
"If I were younger …" says a grinning pedestrian approaching Muir at the corner of Central Park West and 66th Street, where he has arrived to have his photo taken for TIME.
"He's even more handsome in person," another calls out.
Television does not lack for measures of popularity, and the summer of 2018 finds Muir perched atop a bunch of them. According to Nielsen, World News has often drawn more viewers than any other nightly newscast, winning last season and topping the ratings for 26 straight weeks this year. Q Scores, a company that measures "emotional connection" with consumers, places Muir ahead of other big names in the world of TV news and information.
That makes the 70th anniversary of ABC's nightly newscast a bit sweeter, and perhaps a bit more relevant. In an era when most news on television is something that's already known and just being chewed over, there's something reassuring in finding that the largest audience of the day chooses a program dedicated to simply presenting it. Muir embraces what, seven decades on, counts as a tradition.
The anchor, 44, has been sitting in Jennings' old chair for nearly four years now. On a wall in his office, sunlit by the giant window that vibrates with the noise of a construction site across the street, is the American flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol the day of his first broadcast, Labor Day 2014. Next to it is a blowup of a photograph Muir took of a taxi door in Cairo during the Arab Spring. And beside that is a group photo from Somalia, where he came under fire while reporting on famine. Then there's a shot from Hurricane Katrina.
Muir raised himself to the position of anchor by reading the news from a cardboard box in his living room, then from behind desks at local stations in Syracuse and Boston before ABC hired him in 2003. But he likes to be out in the world, "globetrotting" like Jennings. In his phone Muir keeps photos of a Syrian boy, Rami, whom he had reported on in Beirut. When Muir returned a few years later, he spent an entire afternoon tracking Rami down. If one of the pleasures of foreign reporting is going to new places, another is returning to a place you've been before.
"My biggest challenge is that people do actually expect you to be there at 6:30, Monday through Friday, at that desk," Muir says. "So in order to carve out some of the reporting that fuels me, that generally means squeezing in a weekend here or there where I can take off and pick up a story and get back in time for Monday's broadcast." These days, it's possible to take the show on the road with just three other people. But you can't do that lightly. Anchoring from the scene of a breaking story changes the perception of that story. And perception is something the wise news outlet gauges carefully and constantly.
Muir still reads newspapers. On a Tuesday in early August, the New York Times is spread out on his glass-topped desk and others are stacked on the carpet below. He starts his day with a call from the show's executive producer. Then he hits the gym before riding the subway from his West Village home to ABC Studios on the Upper West Side, located on a block dubbed Peter Jennings Way. When Muir landed his first job at ABC, he was photographed leaning against a bus stop with an ad featuring Jennings. Now it's his own picture in the lobby. "It's a weird thing to walk by it," he says.
Since Trump entered politics, the news has been especially difficult to predict. The top story is apt to change minutes before broadcast, which may account for Muir's coiled-spring position at his desk. And the day that officially starts at about 10:30 a.m. doesn't end with the broadcast. There's an in-house critique and a rough plan laid out for the next day. Sometimes even that's not the end.

Families Eyeing Durham Region After Decade of Unprecedented Growth | What's Moving Durham?
10 years ago, an average two-storey, four bedroom home (about 2400 sq ft) cost $430,000 in Richmond Hill. That same house today would fetch about $1.2 million. That's about a threefold increase since 2005. That means those young people with families looking to purchase their first home probably won't have Richmond Hill available to them. That is why the Durham Region is so attractive at the moment.
Related: Will The 407 Extension Increase Your Home Value?
Some have turned to GTA condos for relief. For instance 10 years ago a 975 square foot condo in Downtown West sold for about $349,000. Today, that unit would cost $644,000. A decent jump but not out of reach like some of the detached homes in the GTA. And the provinces pro-intensification approach over the last decade (building more homes using less land) has enabled even those on single incomes to purchase homes. In that same Downtown West are, a bachelor condo for $350,000 is available, however at 623 square feet, it's not much room to raise a family.
In the end, we have seen many changes over the last 10 years. As our population has increased so has the cost of homes. More and more we are seeing taller and smaller rather than big and traditional. The market has become a complicated arena of location and lifestyle choices. Thankfully, the Durham Region provides both affordability and amenities for families unable to compete with the sky rocketing prices of the rest of the GTA.

Hi all, I thought I would take a break from generating our Christmas gift guides and show you the latest decorating we have done in my home ... yes you guessed it, its our tree.
Although we have had our Christmas tree up in our home since August due to the Homes+ photo shoot, we decided to change it. The reason you ask?? Well, our original Christmas tree is over 25 years - it belonged to my parents and it was our Christmas tree when I was a child, but it has now started to fall apart. The second tree was a real live tree (the kid's love it, but due to the extremely weather we are experiencing in Sydney at the moment, our real christmas tree was really struggling with the heat, so we bit the bullet and bought a new one.
We purchased our newest Christmas tree from Balsam Hill. Tin stars/baubles from Foiling Star.
Are you looking for a colour scheme that's feminine and sophisticated but a little bit different to the norm? Then why not try decorating with earthy tones - golds, ambers, ochres - traditionally seen also as warm autumn tones but why not use them all year round. I'm sure your friends and family will love them too.

FedEx and Clean Energy Open Oklahoma CNG-RNG Station
October 11, 2016 | USA, Oklahoma City OK
FedEx, one of the world's biggest logistics companies, has officially opened a state-of-the-art compressed natural gas (CNG) station at its FedEx Freight Service Center in Oklahoma City today. The company will soon be refuelling a portion of its US fleet with Redeem, a renewable natural gas (RNG) supplied by Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
The leaders of FedEx Corp., Clean Energy Fuels Corp. and the State of Oklahoma attended the opening of the CNG station that will allow over 100 FedEx Freight Class 8 trucks to use the convenience of fast-fueling as well as money-saving time-fueling.
At the same event Clean Energy announced that it expects to supply the station with its Redeem™ renewable natural gas vehicle fuel in the near future. This will expand the use of Redeem, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 70% as compared to diesel, to yet another state and demonstrates the growing popularity of the fuel to meet companies' and municipalities' sustainability goals.
The event at the FedEx Freight Oklahoma City Service Center was attended by Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, FedEx chairman and CEO Fred Smith, Clean Energy co-founder Boone Pickens, and Clean Energy president and CEO Andrew Littlefair, as well as many other federal, state and local and industry officials.
"As one of the largest logistics companies in the world, FedEx does its homework when charting a new course and their decision to open up a major CNG fueling center was no different," said Andrew J. Littlefair, CEO and president of Clean Energy. "Led by Fred's vision, the company has always had a commitment to operate on the highest sustainable level. Transitioning a portion of FedEx Freight's fleet to a fuel that will substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions is another example of their leadership."
FedEx purchased more than 100 CNG powered tractors and contracted Clean Energy to design build and maintain the station. The FedEx Freight facility includes a four-lane, fast-fill station as well as a time-fill station which has six zones and 18 hoses. The fueling station is estimated to dispense approximately 2.5 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) per year, and uses Clean Energy's new CleanCNG™ compressors, which produce the cleanest downstream gas, ensuring cleaner combustion at the vehicle.
FedEx Receives NGVAmerica Award
To kick off the event, NGVAmerica President Matt Godlewski presented the annual NGV Achievement Award to Michael Ducker, president and CEO of FedEx Freight, for his company's leadership in alternative fuel transportation.
"It was an honor for NGVAmerica to be at such an important event to recognize Mike Ducker and FedEx Freight for their commitment to natural gas fueling," said Matthew Godlewski, President of NGVAmerica. "As we continue to advocate for the industry to legislators in Washington and businesses around the nation, it's important that we can point to transportation service providers like FedEx Freight as an example of leadership when it comes to reducing GHG emissions."
Redeem RNG
Redeem™, often referred to as biomethane, reduces the impact on the environment because it is captured from sources like landfills and dairy farms before it is released into the atmosphere, turning that methane into a safe, useable fuel. Redeem™ is already offered in California, Oregon and Texas, and used by fleets in the refuse, transit and trucking industries. Renewable natural gas is available in commercial quantities today and can meet 100 percent of the fuel requirements of an 18-wheeler while achieving as much as a 70 percent greenhouse gas reduction. Clean Energy launched Redeem™ in 2013 and has rapidly increased sales as more fleets want to realize the significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) that Redeem™ offers as compared to diesel fuel.

I.K. Brunel and William Gravatt, 1826-1841: their professional and personal relationship
Student thesis: Doctoral Thesis
David John Greenfield
School of Civil Engineering & Surveying
The study concerns the personal and working relationship between Isambard Kingdom Brunel and William Gravatt during the design and construction of civil engineering projects in which they were jointly involved between 1826 and 1841. Brunel and Gravatt first worked together on the Thames Tunnel construction in 1826-1828 where, according to Brunel, they became 'intimate friends.' Subsequently Brunel employed Gravatt to assist him during the parliamentary process leading up to the passage of the second Great Western Railway Bill in August 1835. Gravatt then superintended, under Brunel, the design of bridges in the early stages of construction of the GWR. Having accepted the position of Engineer to the promoters of a railway from Bristol to Exeter in October 1835, Brunel selected Gravatt to manage the parliamentary survey for the line. Afterwards he engaged him as his Resident Engineer on the B&ER when construction of the line began in 1836. Meanwhile, the promoters of a scheme to improve navigation on the river Parrett engaged Brunel in late 1835 to appraise their proposals and to assist them in gaining their Act in 1836. On Brunel's recommendation, the newly incorporated Parrett Navigation Company engaged Gravatt as their Engineer. By 1839 Brunel and Gravatt were arguing vehemently over 'important engineering questions' affecting the B&ER. Their personal relationship deteriorated rapidly, culminating in Brunel dismissing Gravatt from the B&ER in June 1841. The study examines evidence of their working and personal relationship, with three objectives: firstly to establish their particular roles in the projects, secondly to establish the circumstances that led to the breakdown in their relationship, and thirdly to evaluate aspects of Brunel's leadership qualities based on the evidence of his professional and personal relationship with Gravatt.

UK's biggest City Deal starts work
The £1.13bn City Deal, the biggest of its kind in the UK, will fund major infrastructure projects, drive innovation and growth through the support of key sectors such as life sciences, and address challenges in the region's labour market. These projects will allow a programme of work which will greatly add to the value of the local economy over the next 20 years.
Ministers have now approved an assurance framework and the UK and Scottish Governments will each give the City Region £500million in grant funding. The local authorities will borrow a further £130million.
The City Deal is expected to give the City Region a permanent uplift in its GVA of £2.2billion per annum (4.4%); generate 15,000 construction jobs during the construction period and 28,000 permanent additional jobs once construction is complete; and will unlock £3.3billion of private sector investment.
Specific plans for individual projects within the City Deal will now be developed.
Councillor Gordon Matheson, Chair of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Cabinet, said: "Securing this deal for the region was a momentous achievement.
"This funding will bring benefits to our infrastructure, economy and labour market for decades to come by creating tens of thousands of new jobs and increasing our global competitiveness.
"The work can now begin and I look forward to collaborating with all of our partners to deliver this hugely important project."
Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown said: "I am delighted to be able to endorse the assurance framework for the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Deal ahead of the official commencement of the City Deal next week. As our largest city, Glasgow and the surrounding region is central to driving economic growth. We fully support the deal and the principle of local decision making.
"The Scottish Government is investing £500 million in this deal and the Glasgow Clyde Valley partners aim to use it to secure a further £3.3 billion of private sector investment. The importance of the assurance framework cannot be overstated, it means the investment programme will be constructed and managed to deliver the positive economic outcomes set out in the deal.
"Through the Assurance Framework, Glasgow and the Clyde Valley partners will work with, and build on, expertise from the likes of Scottish Enterprise, Skills Development Scotland, Transport Scotland and the further education sector, to ensure this Deal is developed in a co-ordinated way. Glasgow and Clyde Valley partners will ultimately be responsible for the funding decisions they take, however this agreement unlocks funding by the Scottish and UK Government to allow partners to get on with delivering the deal."
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said: "This government created City Deals to give cities across the UK the freedom they need to create jobs, fund infrastructure and boost economic growth, and I'm delighted that I've been able to sign off this major step in Glasgow's City Deal.
"The UK Government's investment of £500 million is a great deal for people in Glasgow and beyond: the Local Authorities involved in the deal estimate that it will boost the city's GVA by 4.4%, bringing billions of pounds of private sector investment and jobs to the city and Clyde Valley, demonstrating the value of central and regional governments working together to create a stronger economy and fairer society across the UK."
Greg Clark, Minister for Universities, Science and Cities, said: "The Glasgow City Deal is a key part of our long-term economic plan to create jobs and growth in every part of the United Kingdom. Its significance cannot be underestimated, not just because of the £1 billion of extra investment, but more significantly the control that will be given to this great city over its own destiny. New infrastructure, better skills, thriving businesses – this is the foundation for Glasgow to become a real powerhouse on the global stage in the years to come."
The eight local authorities participating in City Deal are Glasgow City Council, East Dunbartonshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, Inverclyde Council, North Lanarkshire Council, Renfrewshire Council, South Lanarkshire Council and West Dunbartonshire Council.
The City Deal was developed by officers from the eight participating local authorities in the Glasgow City Region and other local partner organisations.
Glasgow City Region is critical to the UK economy as it is the heart of the economy of Scotland. The region has:
A population of 1.8million (34% of Scotland), clustered round a vibrant urban core with world class educational, recreational and business facilities.
35% of Scottish jobs, and 40% of the jobs in some of the key sectors such as Finance, Aerospace, Defence and Marine.
36% of Scottish GVA (£36billion in 2011).
The only conurbation of scale in Scotland with the diversity of people and talent to quickly adapt to the challenges of the future.
Strong track record of joint work and the ability to deliver investments of scale.
A clear vision for action – and the partnership with business and academia to make it happen.

Airbus and Renault team up for electrification research
The agreement will look for the best pathways to move from current cell chemistries (advanced lithium-ion) to all solid-state designs which could double the energy density of batteries in the 2030 timeframe.
Cross-industry collaboration will be increasingly important in future.
Airbus and car makers Renault Group have signed a research and development agreement which aims to accelerate both companies' electrification roadmaps, improving their respective range of products. This partnership will help Airbus mature technologies associated with future hybrid-electric aircraft.
As part of this partnership, Airbus' and Renault Group's engineering teams will join forces to mature technologies related to energy storage, which remains one of the main roadblocks for the development of long-range electric vehicles. The cooperation agreement will notably cover technology bricks related to energy management optimisation and battery weight improvement, and will look for the best pathways to move from current cell chemistries (advanced lithium-ion) to all solid-state designs which could double the energy density of batteries in the 2030 timeframe.
The joint work will also study the full lifecycle of future batteries, from production to recyclability, in order to prepare the industrialisation of these future battery designs while assessing their carbon footprint across their entire lifecycle.
"This cross-industry partnership with Renault Group will help us mature the next generation of batteries as part of Airbus' electrification roadmap," says Sabine Klauke, Airbus Chief Technical Officer. "Reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is a unique challenge that requires cooperation across sectors, starting today. Bringing together Renault Group's experience in electric vehicles with our own track record in electric flight demonstrators will allow us to accelerate the development of the disruptive technologies required for future hybrid aircraft architectures in the 2030s and beyond. It will also foster the emergence of common technical and regulatory standards in support of the clean mobility solutions needed to achieve our climate targets."
"For the first time, two European leaders from different industries are sharing engineering knowledge to shape the future of hybrid-electric aircraft," says Gilles Le Borgne, EVP, Engineering, Renault Group. "Aviation is an extremely demanding field in terms of both safety and energy consumption, and so is the car industry. At Renault Group, our 10 years of experience in the electric vehicle value chain gives us some of the strongest feedback from the field and expertise in the performance of battery management systems. Driven by the same ambition to innovate and reduce the carbon footprint, our engineering teams are exchanging with those of Airbus to converge transversal technologies that will enable both hybrid aircraft to be operated and the vehicles of tomorrow to be developed
Technological trends are moving in the same direction. Airbus and Renault Group's cooperation on electrification will play an important role in bringing change to the transport landscape, successfully contributing to the ambition of net-zero emissions by 2050, of both the automotive and the aviation sector.

Dichotomy is embedded in life, or, life embeds dichotomy to force balance. Why don't we look at the other side of Brexit then? Is it as bad as people are saying?
We don't want to seem unrealistic. For UK asset managers, working and living in the Brexit uncertainty isn't like waiting for a business dream to come true, or waiting for a new investment product to launch (for example). However, it can be an opportunity to rethink how they have been operating their asset management business until now and to plan for a robust European infrastructure. Brexit, after all, is triggering change. With timely actions and a proactive mindset, businesses can prepare to make the best out of the most discussed secession episode of this century (so far).
Relying on politics to see the light at the end of the long, shadowy Brexit tunnel isn't what we recommend. One's optimism about the "remain solution" is still valid, but uncertainty will only cause delays. The situation requires you to act as soon as possible, if you haven't started already. If you want to manage and sell European funds, creating your on-shore presence in Europe is your end solution. This article gives you an overview of how to get started.
By Royal Assent, the United Kingdom is set to leave the EU on 29 March 2019 at 11 pm (UK time). Yes, it is that precise! As politicians debate the precise terms and conditions, the prudent in the industry are taking steps to ensure business continuity with minimal disruption. We've put together a Brexit timeline that helps you get a clearer idea of the path towards the withdrawal day. As you can see, the process has been anything but easy.
A royal assent is the method by which a country's monarch (possibly through a delegated official) formally approves an act of that nation's parliament. At the moment, royal assents are merely a formality.
As a UK asset manager, you want to establish viable European operations as soon as possible to maintain current levels of access to Europe Post-Brexit. European regulators require demonstrable substance to manage European Funds and to sell to European investors. For that, operations will need the necessary accountability structures, skill sets and access to data to perform the tasks related to oversight and risk and portfolio management.
Meanwhile, the UK Government has a Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR) to minimise disruption for EU firms currently operating in the UK due to the loss of passport rights. The aim is to allow firms to continue to operate in the UK during a limited period of time (three years) while they seek to obtain permanent authorisation or recognition from UK regulators.
Firms need to apply either by notifying the relevant regulator (PRA or FCA) of their intention to enter the regime before 29 March 2019 (exit day), or by submitting an application for authorisation before exit day.
In this video, Matt Moran (PwC Luxembourg) and Robert Mellor (PwC UK) talk about the current political uncertainty revolving around Brexit, the options asset managers have on the table and what to do as of now.
Stop focusing on Brexit; start thinking about planning for a European infrastructure […] if you want to manage European funds and you want to sell to EU investors. Focus on building out what your European business needs to be. Brexit was just a trigger point for you.

Will there be any interruption in connectivity when this occurs? Also - any interruption when the configuration is committed?
Re: What occurs when a "Refresh from live fabric" option is selected under Zone admin, view?
commit new Alias and Zone is not disruptive, but the New commited Zone take no effect until you have not Enable the Config.
in some circumstance "Enable Config" is for short time Disruptive.
Could you expand on under what circumstances it would be disruptive?
What kind of disruption would occur? A milli-second outage perhaps? Or something more severe?
--->>>what circumstances it would be disruptive?
to explain here is a bit to long, i would suggest you have a look into a FOS Admin Guide and in FOS Command Reference Manual.
in few word, in example the command cfgenable is disruptive when QoS active Zone are present, TI is configured, or simple you want to remove and add Zone.
if you question is answered, I would be much appreciated when you valued all the answer.

Ah, music. It's the name of the game–or some of it, in K-pop. It's no secret that this industry places as much emphasis on the visual as it does the audio (and perhaps even more so), which goes a fair way to explaining the place the music video has in the K-pop machine. The music video is an integral component of any comeback or debut: fans stay up at all kinds of odd hours waiting for music video premieres. Why? Because the music video is the ultimate representative of the concept of a group's new release. It brings together both the audio and the visual side of a group's concept into a four minute package (most of the time). Because this is about music, the visual side needs to match the song in not only the overriding theme, but also its mood and meaning as well, and thus perfectly complement the song and allow it to truly shine, like a well-matched wine does for a meal.
In our Best MV poll for the Seoulbeats Mid-year Wrap Up, we asked you which you thought was the best MV released in the first six months of 2012, and as of writing the top three MVs were (in ascending order of votes) Nu'est's "Face," Exo's "Mama" and JYJ Xia Junsu's "Tarantallegra." All three music videos are wonderfully dark in the themes they dealt with, as well as visually. "Mama" and "Tarantallegra" also have fantastical elements present in their MVs, especially in the former, which were brought out with fine cinematography. "Face," meanwhile, dealt with real world issues, issues which were also reflected in the lyrics. The use of reddish pink accents in the MV, while quite unexpected for a boy group, worked to make the MV and Nu'est stand out from the other rookies in this half-year.
The girl groups can stop with all the aegyo; this is how you do cute. The three members that make up Superstar K3′s runner up band Busker Busker–Jung Beom-jun, Kim Hyung-tae and Brad Moore–go on a bumbling day-trip filled with a comedy of errors (and a lovely, if not entirely unexpected, twist at the end). The warm sunlight and blurring on the edges of the screen give the MV a very dreamlike asthetic, which is furthered by the slow motion, which gives an ethereal effect to the physical comedy. The accompanying animations are also absolutely adorable, adding to the innocence of the MV and song, as do the bunnies (!), underlining the sweet message of being with the one you love and journeying forward in life together, hand in hand. "Cherry Blossom Ending" looks as it sounds, like a bright and cheery spring day, enticing you to move along with them to the soft music.
In contrast to the laid-back charm of "Cherry Blossom Ending," "The Grasshopper Song" is faster, bolder and bigger. This MV is the closest one can get to having the visual matching the audio, with Sunny Hill's version of the Aesop fable The Ant and the Grasshopper being acted out in time with the lyrics, as a story itself. We are literally pulled closer and closer into this insect world by the sets–the curtains are raised to reveal cubicles which split to show Mi-sung in a new room with a back wall built from boxes that tumble down beautifully to reveal Seung-ah. With each set change, the camera has moved forward until we, the audience, without even realising it are standing right in the epicentre of this universe that Sunny Hill has created. The sets are gorgeous and inspired, as are the insect costumes and the little details scattered throughout the MV, from the giant buttons used as fixtures to the very professional magazine covers. With a novel and exciting concept and perfect execution, The MV for "The Grasshopper Song" showcases the lyrics of the song within a narrative following ant Jang-hyun's journey of discovery.
I have an admission to make: I only watched this MV for the first time three days ago. I've since spent much of my time in a state of constant anger at myself for not having watched it earlier. The conversation between the two men (played by Song Jae-rim and Lee Min-ki) is never heard by the audience but the meaning can be sensed from Nell's lyrics, and while it is open to interpretation as to the nature of the relationship of the men, the lyrics lead me to believe that they are in fact lovers.
The cinematography in this MV is beautiful: in the beginning, the camera is deliberately zoomed in on various objects, with a shot of a camera lens being fitted filling the whole screen and both mens' faces being only partially shown until halfway through the MV when an aerial shot of the table the two men are sitting at is shown. From then on, the camera decreases the zoom, which I found to indicate the gaining of a new perspective both literally and metaphorically, with the audience discovering more about the space in which the MV takes place as Jae-rim comes to accept Min-ki's decision, while the close up, slightly unfocused shots from earlier reflected Jae-rim's sadness and confusion. The subtle introduction of colour throughout the course of the MV also seems to serve the same purpose of showing Jae-rim's journey to acceptance, or perhaps even to signify a return to normal life after being in a state of sadness. This really is a beautiful MV which conveys the meaning of the song so well, and if you haven't seen it yet, please do; you won't regret it.
Readers, you've seen my top 3: what does yours look like? And has there been a clanger of a MV that you just haven't been able to get over? Leave your comments below!

Too many mail-bounces in the same day. Does this sound logical?
We've noticed a huge amount of "mail bounces", not "unsubscribes", all in the same day; there are close to a few thousand (large number for us). This is too out of the ordinary and we are concerned of a malfunction in the Mayfirst system. Below is the message we receive in our emails: "mailman-bounces@… to <Left Forum> <email> has been removed from Left Forum."
Does anyone know what the cause of or solution to this potential problem?
We've checked about 12 emails and they are indeed not valid. But the concern is over the few thousand. It seems very unusual for a high number like that to bounce back on the same day.
Sorry this slipped through the cracks. When you add an owner to a ticket, not associated with an open id, no one get's notified about the ticket.

Keep the summer vibes alive, with a splash of Riviera style.
James William Phillips knows a thing or two about the good life. As the publisher behind Luxury Lifestyle Online (https://luxurynewsonline.com), he runs a successful platform devoted to celebrating the finer things. So when it came to choosing the perfect summer wardrobe, he's someone whose sartorial opinion we'd trust — even if he hadn't included Donhall & Bell footwear in his line-up!
For a day soaking up the sun at Le Meridien, Monaco's coolest beach club, he went for tailored separates in pale neutrals, keeping the focus on the elegant finishing touches; a Rolex, a pair of old-school Raybans, finished off by our new Knightsbridge loafers in pale-grey suede.
Brooklyn-based stylist and creative director Greg Chapman has his feet firmly rooted in British style.

New York City Council Passes Free Legal Counsel for Poor Immigrants Facing Deportation
By Michael Oleaga
New York Assemblyman Francisco Moya, author of the state's DREAM Act, told Latin Post, "The New York City Council's decision to create the nation's first public defender system for immigrants facing deportation is a bold move for justice and I am proud to say that I was an early supporter of this initiative on the state level. One of my proudest accomplishments this year is that I was able to secure funds in the state budget for the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project."
"Facing a judge without counsel provides an unreasonable barrier to justice," Moya added. "If you wind up in immigration court and must defend yourself against trained attorneys, it's almost impossible to avoid deportation. Providing counsel for those facing deportation is about justice and family unity. No one should have to lose a family member to deportation just because they couldn't afford an attorney. I applaud the efforts of the New York City Council and look forward to taking up my bill to expand this program statewide again next year."
New York City became the first jurisdiction in the United States to provide free legal counsel to detained undocumented immigrants facing deportation. New York City's Council passed the $4.9 billion program known as the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project (NYIFUP) after a "successful" yearlong trial.
The NYIFUP's funding from the City Council grants legal representation for nearly 1,380 detained immigrants in the city.
The program is also the result of a five-year study by the Center for Popular Democracy, the Immigrant Justice Clinic of Cardozo Law School, Make the Road New York and the Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights (NMCIR). According to the Vera Institute of Justice, more than 7,000 U.S. citizen children in New York City lost a parent to deportation between 2005 and 2010. Sixty-seven percent of detained immigrants in the city continue their deportation hearings without legal counsel, and only 3 percent find success. Vera noted immigrants with legal representation are 10 times more likely to find a successful outcome in immigration court.
"In addition to the financial hardship caused by the loss of a primary breadwinner, these children have been shown to suffer significant emotional and psychological effects," said Vera, which administered the initial one-year-pilot program and sought to increase "court effectiveness and decrease detention times" and would save taxpayer dollars.
"In time, NYIFUP would become a model for other jurisdictions that value their immigrants and counterbalance overtly hostile immigration policies enacted in states like Arizona and Alabama," NMCIR stated. "New York State has an opportunity to lead by making resources available to address a critically important unmet need and to keep New York families together."
NMCIR Executive Director Angela Fernandez acknowledged deportation proceedings do not require the government to provide lawyers since it is considered a "civil" matter rather than criminal.
"However, to the immigrants who are held in county jails, shackled and forced to litigate in one of our most complex arenas of law against trained government attorneys, the civil designation is cold comfort," Fernandez said.
"New York City's investment in the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project will not only help those who receive legal representation in decisions that will profoundly affect their lives, but it will also send a clear message that the city values and protects all families," Make the Road New York's Immigration Project's Cesar Palomeque said in a statement.
"The City Council should be congratulated for its leadership in ensuring that no detained New Yorker will be deported without an opportunity to show that she or he is entitled to remain in the country," Vera Director of the Center on Immigration and Justice Oren Root said.
Credit for the NYIFUP has been given to City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Councilmembers Carlos Menchaca, Julissa Ferreras and Daniel Dromm.
On a federal level, House Democrats have proposed the Vulnerable Immigrant Voice Act (VIVA) (H.R. 4936) legislation that would provide legal representation to unaccompanied minors and mentally disabled individuals during immigration proceedings. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), nearly 90,000 children will immigrate to the U.S. without an adult by the end of 2014.
"Currently, thousands of these children are stuck in a legal limbo as they seek a brighter future in the United States and most will not have legal representation," National Immigration Forum's Executive Director Ali Noorani told Latin Post.
The National Immigrant Justice Center's Executive Director Mary Meg McCarthy, Senate and House immigration reforms such as S. 744 and H.R. 15 provides legal representation to undocumented people for immigration court, but both bills have stalled in Congress.

In Gold Warriors, by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave, the authors reveal one of the most shocking secrets of the 20th century. It is the story of the vast treasure Japan managed to loot across Asia, today worth billions or even trillions of dollars, the concealment of it in hundreds of sites, and the secret recovery of much of it by what would become America's Central intelligence Agency. America helped Japan cover up this vast fortune, fooling the world into believing Japan was bankrupt after the war and was unable to pay reparations for their mass murder and material damage.
Most of Japan's vast stolen fortune would remain in the hands of imperialist war criminals, and would for decades be used to prop up Japan's corrupt one party democracy ruled by the Liberal Democratic Party, with the CIA and the Yakuza pulling the strings behind the scenes. It would be controlled by men like Allen Dulles and John J. McCloy through their Black Eagle Trust, which managed both Japanese and Nazi War loot. The Gold would be deposited in the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, Union Banque Suisse (UBS) in Switzerland, Citibank, HSBC and other major banks who often stole it for themselves. The gold was also used to manipulate the global economy, finance assassinations and covert ops, bribe politicians, and finance right wing political movements like the John Birch Society domestically.
Gold Warriors tells a compelling tale of secrecy, greed, treachery, murder and lies. The book offers a window into the vast and mysterious world of offshore banking and the Gold Cartel. The authors estimate that today, the ultra-rich are hoarding over 23 trillion dollars, mostly in offshore bank accounts. Meanwhile around the world, health and education are being cut, poverty and homelessness are on the rise, and the rest of us are constantly told to tighten our belts.
The Seagraves destroy the myth that America reformed Japan after the war, revealing the shocking story of the MacArthur occupation and its alliance with fascists along with Japan's ruthless imperial family and their huge corporate backers like Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and Sumitomo. They used this loot to finance Japan's postwar recovery and meteoric rise. Companies that have since become household names made their fortunes through looting Asia and employing slave labor, including that of American POWS. When the survivors tried to sue for reparations, State Department officials like Tom Foley with corrupt ties to these Japanese corporations compared these victims to terrorists.
The Seagraves begin their book with the brutal assassination of the Korean Queen Min on October 7 1895 by the imperialist Japanese. In Japan, like in America, big business, organized crime, and intelligence were strongly interrelated. The Japanese Empire, like all empires, were cynical liars and claimed that Queen Min had been murdered by Koreans. With the strong-willed Queen Min out of the way, her weak husband King Kojong quickly became a Japanese puppet and soon Korea was a Japanese colony, while China suffered a humiliating defeat at Japan's hands when it tried to intervene.
Japan seized Taiwan and parts of Manchuria from China. Korea became Japanese property, and they began to loot the accumulated wealth of centuries, including gold silver and prized celadon porcelains. Japan employed an army of antiquarians to seize and catalog hundreds of ancient Korean manuscripts, sending them to Japan or burning them to destroy Korea's cultural heritage. The Japanese even resorted to grave robbery on a massive scale, targeting Korean Imperial tombs.
Japan targeted Taiwan, colonizing the island and setting up massive heroin laboratories. Taiwan would for decades become a center of the global drug trade. Japan launched a sneak attack on the Russian Empire in 1904 and Russia was forced to sign a humiliating peace deal giving Japan control of its possessions in Manchuria like the South Manchurian Railway it had built. To turn a quick profit, Japan set up a massive opium growing operation. They bribed warlords and began buying up Chinese industries and land. Manchuria became what the authors call the center of "carpetbaggers, spies, secret policemen, financial conspirators, fanatical gangsters, drug dealers and eccentric army officers." The Mitsui and Mitsubishi Corporations ran everything, making a fortune from their cut of the illegal drug trade. Through a series of provocations involving the patriotic societies and Japanese intelligence, Japan was whipped into a war frenzy and more Chinese land was stolen. Japan unleashed an army of experts to steal as much art and priceless manuscripts as they could.
Around the same time Japan had been conquering Korea, America had conquered the Philippines while claiming they wanted to liberate it from Spain. With its usual cynical hypocrisy, once Spain surrendered, America crushed the Filipino independence movement with the brutal tactics it would later employ in Greece, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and a long list of other countries. Of course, it had been America itself which had forced Japan to end its long isolation setting into motion the chain of events that had led to Japan's rapid modernization and imperialist adventures in the first place. When the Second World War began to go very badly by 1943, Japan was no longer able to ship its loot back to Japan, and so began to hide it all over the Philippines and Indonesia. Prisoners of war and the local Filipinos were forced to dig massive tunnels. These slave laborers were often massacred or buried alive to keep the tunnels secret. The Japanese often buried their loot near historical landmarks and hospitals because they were less likely to be bombed. They smuggled gold into the Philippines on phony hospital ships, since they would be less likely to be sunk by American submarines. They hid some of the gold by loading ships full of treasure and sinking them for later recovery, and huge underground chambers were filled with thousands of tons of gold.
The Americans managed to discover gold was being hidden during the war, thanks to one of their spies. There were at least 176 treasure sites in the Philippines. By the time the war ended, the Americans had found so much gold that if it became publicly known it would have destroyed the Bretton woods system which relied on gold being valued at 35 dollars an ounce. The Bretton Woods system was itself backed with the huge sums in Nazi gold the US had managed to seize and hide, the authors of Gold Warriors suggest.
Back in Washington, there was already a group dedicated to stealing and hiding Nazi gold: the Black Eagle Trust. With their massive off-the-books money, they would bribe politicians and finance coups, covert operations and psychological warfare. Soon, the Golden Lily loot was being managed by the same people. It was being moved across the world, being used to prop up banks around the world. UBS in Switzerland, HSBC in Hong Kong, the Bank of England, Chase Manhattan. Hidden in 42 countries between 1945-47, the gold was used to make huge loans to Britain, Egypt, and the Kuomintang in China. Politicians around the world were bribed with gold certificates. The intersection between Wall Street and intelligence involved vast sums completely unknown to the public. The notion that the CIA could ever be held in check once it had control of this vast fortune was a joke, and it perhaps led to events like the Kennedy assassination. A nearly 60-year cover-up after that event would not be surprising when one remembers that the entire mainstream American media was controlled by former Office of Strategic Services men, as discussed in Science of Coercion by Christopher Simpson. The CIA and Office of Policy Coordination controlled much of the media worldwide as part of Frank Wisner's infamous Operation Mockingbird, putting out nonstop Cold War propaganda.
In Japan, criminal Yoshio Kodama made a deal to turn over $100 million to the CIA for his immunity (worth 1 billion dollars today). During the war, Kodama had managed to save 13 billion in gold, platinum, diamonds and other loot. America had not bombed Japanese industries, instead targeting workers' homes. This was likely because American corporations were heavily invested in Japan, just as they were in Nazi Germany, where American-owned factories supplying the German war machine were spared during the war. In occupied West Germany, Denazification was a scam, and so too was the removal of imperialism in Japan. Trials targeting Japanese war criminals were fixed to prevent the Emperor's role being known. The US set up a special fund to bribe witnesses. Kodama was put on the CIA payroll, and behind the scenes he created the misnamed Liberal Democratic Party headed by corrupt politicians. The Yatsuya fund was used to control the Japanese underworld. The Keenan fund named after Joseph Keenan, the chief war crimes prosecutor, was used to bribe witnesses to protect the Emperor and his cronies.
The M-Fund was named after General William Frederic Marquat, who was in charge of restructuring the Japanese economy. Marquat was also entrusted to disband Japan's infamous Unit 731 that ran bio-warfare research using prisoners as guinea pigs during the war, but instead of disbanding, they were recruited by the Pentagon and used to develop germ warfare against China and North Korea. The M-Fund was used to bribe politicians, and evolved into one of the most scandalous financial scams in history. Soon, it would corrupt American politicians as well. Nixon turned the M-Fund, which had been run by MacArthur's cronies like General Marquat along with the CIA and the corrupt Liberal Democratic Party, over to the full control of Japan in exchange for illegal kickbacks funneled into the 1960 presidential Campaign he lost to Kennedy. Part of the deal was for Nixon to return Okinawa to Japan, which he later did once he finally got elected.
Golden Lily loot was funneled back to far right movements in the US, and would help finance Joseph McCarthy's witch hunts. Another source of such wealth was the global drug trade, as the CIA would manage it in cooperation with the Chinese Kuomintang and Japanese and Korean organized crime. Together, these sources of wealth would be used to fund the World Anti-Communist League or WACL the global network of fascist drug dealers and terrorists loved by Ronald Reagan. In the final chapter of their book, the authors provide a brilliant summary of the politics of heroin, relying heavily on Doug Valentine's classic The Strength of the Wolf. In Japan, McCarthyism took a much bloodier course with a massive assassination program combined with a COINTELPRO-style war on anyone who dared to dissent. Even American and British officials could be targeted for assassination if they threatened to expose MacArthur's alliance with war criminals and gangsters. For assassinations that were even more sensitive, KOTOH was employed – an acronym formed from the names of five Japanese army officers who performed assassinations.
Much of Gold Warriors describes the hunt for treasure in the Philippines. The Japanese were the masters of this, quietly returning for decades to recover their loot. Future Philippines president Ferdinand Marcos learned of the gold by befriending Santa Romana and making deals with the Japanese to recover gold, becoming one of the richest men in the world through his discoveries. It was Marcos gold that paved the way for Nixon's visit to China, with Marcos agreeing to deposit 72 billion in Gold in China's Bank accounts. Marcos had long been used by the CIA to bribe Asian governments into supporting American policy, and in return they allowed him to get rich by selling his gold to Saudi princes or trading it for drugs from Asian or Latin American cartels. The golden Lily loot that led to his rise also led to his downfall, when he bargained too forcefully with the Reagan White House and the CIA who wanted him to use his fortune to back Reagan's scheme to create Rainbow dollars. Marcos then became one of the first victims of a CIA color revolution. As CIA-backed NGOs flooded the streets with angry protestors, his American sponsors kidnapped him and airlifted his fortune out of the country.
Gold Warriors reveals that from the underworld to the military and intelligence agencies, to the corrupt politicians to the titans of finance we are ruled at every level by gangsters. After reading it, one may even wonder how much of the CIA's gold is involved today in financing charlatans like Alex Jones and the rest of the US "patriot" movement, since their radio stations are heavily involved in selling gold and silver. It is a fantastic book that anyone with an interest in the CIA, drugs, or fascism should read, because it offers a window into the shadowy world of offshore banking, where around a trillion dollars is transferred around the world every day. It names some of the most powerful families in the world: the Krupps, the Rothschilds, the Oppenheimers, the Warburgs and the Rockefellers. All are tied to banking and the gold cartel, where fortunes are incalculable. In fact, the gold and diamond cartels are still looting the world today with the same greed and brutality as imperial Japan. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo alone, ten million people have been killed in a brutal war to loot the country of gold, diamonds, uranium, and rare earth elements. Furthermore, most of the world's gold is hoarded today in the Swiss Alps, in secret bunkers and underground tunnels designed to survive a nuclear war. The hunt for the gold stolen by imperial Japan even resumed as recently as 2001, when George W. Bush sent navy seals on a secret mission to recover it.

Confessional: An eyewitness who was with another, now dead, eyewitness during the Las Vegas shooting tells all
Shepard Ambellas
Las Vegas shooting eyewitness who was with another, now dead, eyewitness who claimed she saw "more than one" shooter, tells all in rare confessional
(INTELLIHUB) An Apple Valley man appeared on Episode 39 of "The Confessionals" where he gave his detailed eyewitness account of what he says actually took place at the Harvest Music Festival on the night of October 1.
The eyewitness, Rick, told Conflict Radio that he and his wife listen to all types of music but said that his wife mostly listens to "country" which is why they were attending the concert in the first place, along with three of his wife's girlfriends.
Rick explained how it all happened during Jason Aldean's set.
Rick said that Jason Aldean was performing the song "Any Ol' Bar Stool," near the end, when someone in front of his group lit off a string of firecrackers which he clearly saw, putting him on "high-alert." Rick explained that just seconds later, after the song "When She Calls Me Baby" started, he could hear fully-automatic gunfire emanating "from behind the stage or just a little bit to the right of the stage" so he told the girls to get their boots on. Rick and several of the girls were barefoot at the time due to the fact that their feet were sore from enduring concerts on the two previous nights and were struggling to get their boots on amidst the chaos.
Rick made clear that he saw several people who were "hit" by bullets and said that the sound of gunfire was "coming from everywhere" as people were "taking cover."
About that time, Rick, his wife, and her best friend got separated from the other two girls, one of which was presumably Kymberley Suchomel, 28, who reportedly died from 'natural causes' just days after the concert where she claimed to have witnessed "more than one" shooter inside the venue.
Shortly after their separation, the trio made it out of the venue through a section of fencing that had been knocked down by panicking concertgoers who were "funneling" out the opening. Rick said the three of them waited behind a police vehicle as several more volleys of gunfire hailed down onto the remaining people trapped inside the venue.
A few moments later, Rick met back up with all five members of his group near a sign that they used for a "landmark" which was located between Hooters and Motel 6 which is when a "frantic stampede" fled Hooters.
"[…] there was a bunch of people trying to get the hell away from Hooters so we did too," he explained. "So we started running again."
Rick also pointed out that at one point he had witnessed "SWAT" guy enter Hooters through the back which he thought was suspicious. The scene was fluid and rapidly changing. Nobody could be trusted. At one point, the group was told that a shooter had stolen a police car which elevated concern.
According to Rick, the scene was fluid and rapidly changing. Nobody could be trusted. At one point, the group was told that a shooter had stolen a police car which elevated concern.
After a while, the group made to Tropicana Blvd. where they headed eastbound down the sidewalk on the south side of the street and that's when they had a rather strange encounter with a woman hanging out the window of a vehicle which was passing by.
"So this black or dark-blue sedan is pulling up on East Tropicana and there's a young female, maybe 20's or early 30s, hanging out of the window," Rick explained. "Her torso is hanging out the window and she's pointing at us, like gesturing with her hand and yelling and taunting the crowd."
Rick said his "stomach sank." He said that he just couldn't believe that this woman knew what was going on and said that she was "taking joy" in watching what everyone was experiencing.
Rick said in retrospect that he does feel like there was gunfire coming from several different locations which matches up with other eyewitness accounts.

Americans consume an estimated 53 pounds of bread a year. This fact alone is enough to send anyone into a carbo-rich coma.
White bread has a bad reputation as being one of the worst carb-rich foods you can but in your body. …but what if I told you that when it comes to life hacks, this carb is secretly a Wonder Bread? You can use bread as more than just an edible purse for your favorite lunch meats;there are many unconventional uses for sliced bread.
And if you're me, you end up throwing away more bread than you consume, so why not stop throwing away your hard-earned cash and repurposing your yeasty treats. Here are 13 unusual uses for sliced bread that are sure to send you running to your nearest grocery store or bakery.
1. Sliced bread can cut down on tear production while chopping up onions.
All you need to do is stick half a piece of bread in your mouth, allowing the other half to absorbed the gases released into the air when cutting your onions.
Tossing a few stale chunks of bread into your coffee grinder will help clean out the coffee grinds from every nook and cranny.
Sliced bread is like a sponge, in that it can absorb anything, including small chunks of broken glass.
Adding a slice of bread to your stale marshmallows will breath new life into this s'mores staple.
Cover a splinter with a wet slice of bread to soften the skin surrounding the splinter. This tip works best if you use a handkerchief or towel to wrap around the damp bread.
If you're not careful, a bag of brown sugar can turn into a a clumpy mess in a matter of days. Microwaving the sugar with a slice of bread will allow the sugar to absorb moisture from the bread, thus de-clumping it.
Foods such as brussels sprouts have quite a potent smell. Cooking the veggies in a pot with a slice of bread will help cut down on the stench.
Once again, our porous bread can be used to sop up accidental grease spills in your kitchen.
There's nothing worse than a pile of fat sitting atop your favorite soup. Float a piece on bread in the pot and watch as it absorbs the fat.
10. Remove The Burnt Taste From Foods.
Gently rubbing a piece of bread across an oil painting will quickly remove any unwanted dirt and grime.
Affix a slice of bread to the cut sides of a slice of cake to eliminate the cake becoming too dry.
Cut off the crust from a slice of stale bread and rub onto your wallpapered walls to wash away greasy fingerprints.
Now I totally get why Oprah loves bread so much.

I have GOT to start blogging again!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been spending wasting time on failbook instead of writing real posts here. it's funny, twitter never did it for me, but a multimedia version of twitter (with just about everyone you've ever met on it) manages to capture my attention. partly, because it is easy. but besides the fact that the medium encourages shallow communications (not really writing), looking up old stuff on fb is a huge PITA, and anyway, those guys are just evil (although I do not participate in f'apps - my special name for failbook apps).
so recently I was inspired to come here and look at my old posts (to try to figure out some dates) and it really made me miss the longer, more introspective journalling. so, I guess I'm back. hi!
biz is good - bizzy! we have a new sewing house which is making life wonderful! they do a great job! we managed to roll out two different batches of jammies last month and have another coming soon! looking back over older entries, it is amazing to see how far we have come.
wedding planning is coming along. I really need to get the "save the date" emails out so I can collect addresses and get people to put it on their calendars. already learned that one of my favorite chick friends cannot be there. such a bummer, but what can I do? nothing! there will be date conflicts at any time, and this is going to be when it is going to be, and hopefully everything will fall into place. I just can't worry about it! the dye is cast.
which is actually really rad. it makes it easy! I know I am doing the right thing, and I am so not stressed over the logistics. we want to keep it super simple (and cannot afford to do otherwise anyway). reading some of the alterna-bride sites has been a real eye opener! I'm seeing the "bridezilla" concept as reflecting on the wedding industry as a whole, not just the insanely demanding brides but those who create the insane demands in the first place. so I should be looking into teeth whitening now? really?
as a 44 year old former postmodernist, it is actually pretty funny *reading* this stuff.
a couple nights ago, my stepmom somehow accidentally called Jovino on skype, and he and I talked with her and my dad for half an hour or so. it was really fun! I'm enjoying getting in touch with people, it's a nice benefit of this whole project.
anyway! this is the main thing that runs through my hed when I can't sleep, well this and the ever present biz stuff. overall though I have to say that this is a pretty awesome time to be me.
Yeah. I cant use Facebook at all. It just doesnt ring with me and I dont feel comfortable posting a thing there. Twitter is one of those things that people either really love (I love it) or they hate. Originally, when Twitter came about I was not open to the idea after viewing someone's stream which was a bit too narcissistic for me. I try and strike a balance with my account. Overall, the social networks that work best for me are ones that I can be myself and where my friends are more likely to update. Livejournal friends almost never post any longer and my IJ is pretty desolate as far as people stopping by and saying hello.
PS: My poor dino has no outfit where he can be his Stego S. Aurus persona so I am hoping that customs come soon.
Like you I miss the deeper posts, the ones where I expose my underbelly and let things fall where they may.
welcome back! Long live LJ! Down with failbook (which I completely nuked several months ago)!
Welcome back. Yes, I missed you.

January 25, 1883: Resolution passed for a permanent Bridge over Duluth Ship Canal
On this day in Duluth in 1883, the Village Council passed a resolution to build a permanent bridge over the Duluth Ship Canal, which was cut in 1871. Since that time, Duluth had used a temporary bridge made of wooden poles and planks and wire cable. The resolution read: "Resolved, that the committee on public improvements take into consideration the propriety of asking Congress to authorize the building of a draw bridge across the Duluth canal, of sufficient size to accommodate one railroad track, one street car track, two carriage ways, and two sidewalks—taking into consideration, also, the practicality of such a bridge, and its cost." The resolution had been introduced by Duluth pioneer George Stuntz, who is a key figure in the myths surrounding the canal's digging. No permanent bridge would span the canal until 1905, and the resolution itself identifies the main problem with the phrase "the practicality of such a bridge." Duluth didn't get serious about bridging the canal until 1890, after promising the residents of Park Point the city would build a bridge if Park Point rejoined the city of Duluth. Bridge designs in the 1890s were all rejected because they shared the same problem: they were impractical. Each called for lanes for pedestrians, carriages, streetcars, and not one but two sets of railroad tracks—Duluth planned to use the bridge to help it industrialize all of Minnesota Point, making it the home of factories from the canal to the Superior Entry. But all the bridges were mechanical and driven by steam, and the powers that be thought there was too much risk they would fail and block shipping traffic through the canal. Read about the many early ideas to bridge the ship canal here.

AUSTIN, Minn. — Depending on who's eating it, Spam is either a slice of post-war Americana or a slice of who knows what.
TV "moms" Marion Ross, from left, Barbara Billingsley and Debra Jo Rupp revealed their favorite Spam recipes.
Whatever it is, the canned convenience food now has its own museum.
"All (you've) got to say is Spam and you've got a discussion," said Nancy Barker of Menasha, Wis., emerging from the Spam Museum yesterday with a handful of memorabilia.
For 66 years this Minnesota town of 22,000 has been known as Spamtown.
"It's a part of our past and it's probably part of our future," said Barker, 65, who has her own recipe for Spam pancakes. "People are almost cult followers."
The museum has been open since September, but Spam maker Hormel Foods delayed a celebration because of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The rescheduled grand opening is steeped in Americana, with famous TV moms like Marion Ross and Barbara Billingsley, sports figures and a World War II memorial dedication.
Upon entry, one might notice the 430-foot conveyor belt around the ceiling, carrying about 850 cans of Spam.
Visitors can take a Spam exam or can their own Spam (not the real stuff). There's also a radio station — KSpam — and a video screen that shows Monty Python skits slamming Spam.
The museum also has exhibits on the Hormel family, explains what goes into Spam (pork shoulder, ham, spices and preservatives) and describes the product's special relationship with American troops during World War II.
The war generated huge sales for Hormel, which provided 15 million cans of Spam each week to the military. From 1939 to 1942, the company's overall sales doubled to nearly $120 million. Tomorrow, NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw will dedicate a special memorial to World War II veterans.
The museum has drawn 39,000 visitors since it opened. The figure is expected to double this weekend.
A Spam-o-meter tallies the cans of Spam produced. Hormel expects to turn out its 6 billionth sometime between June 29 and July 3.

Boarding School Offers Hope to Hidden Victims of Chicago's Gun Violence
Chronicle Of Social Change June 29, 2016
Along with typical childhood concerns about schoolwork, family and relationships with peers, the children of Chicago's West Side also have to deal with gun violence.
So far in 2016, there have been 267 homicides in Chicago, compared to 489 homicides citywide in all of 2015, according to the Chicago Tribune. The highest concentration of deadly violence is in the West Side neighborhood of Austin, where there have been 32 homicides so far this year.
On a Monday afternoon in Humboldt Park – just east of Austin – three men were hit in a drive-by shooting. Schools were still in session, students studying and trying to concentrate – while three people were nearly murdered right outside. Police say the suspects took off in a burgundy van. Now kids have to worry about their homework and that burgundy van.
These kids aren't direct victims of gun violence, but that violence right outside their doors has a devastating impact.
"What's being done?" asks Georgette Le Page, founder and director of the Counseling Center for Emotional Growth, which has offices in Skokie, Oak Park and Lake County in Illinois. "I have a patient whose best friend was paralyzed. He knows two boys paralyzed by gun violence."
But her patient is one of the lucky ones, Le Page says. "At least he's getting therapy!"
When shootings happen in communities in broad daylight, it becomes more real for the children who call those communities home.
"Fear is not a factor," Le Page says. "These kids with guns are willing to take more risks until something bad happens. They have no hope."
Community activist Andrew Holmes is a victim of gun violence himself. "It took me six months to learn how to walk all over again," Holmes says in an interview with CBS 2 Chicago.
He now does a whole lot of walking, marching, protesting and pleading. He dedicates his life to helping young victims like he once was, and tells CBS 2, "I can feel deep down a lot of the pain a lot of them go through because I just about didn't make it."
So how do you stop the pain? How do you stop the violence, or at least protect children living on Chicago's West Side from it?
"They end up on drugs or alcohol to stop the pain," Le Page says.
But there is another way.
"Boarding schools," she says. "It's safe for kids to live there, they get a good education, good food, good role models. The tuition is free, the education is better, kids are not exposed to drugs or crime."
Sounds like a nice idea, but is it realistic? One beacon of hope on the West Side is Christ the King Jesuit College Prep. The school's stated mission is to be a school that "challenges and inspires its young women and men through the integration of academics, work experience and extracurricular activities to lead lives of integrity, faith and servant leadership for the greater glory of God."
The school says 97.8 percent of its graduates attend college. But in the past five years that number has actually been 100 percent. Schools like Ohio State, Iowa, Illinois, Arizona, Loyola, Marquette and even Cornell. Ivy leaguers – from Chicago's West Side. For most kids on the West Side, the emphasis on education just isn't there.
"Education is so bad, it's scary," Le Page says. "Kids have no idea what good educational activity even means."
But schools like Christ the King show that kids can not only survive in the most dangerous of neighborhoods in Chicago, they can thrive. In the right environment, kids are hungry to learn, to be active and positive.
"Sometimes they're just hungry," Le Page says. "I used to teach third grade at Cabrini Green. I'd give the kids cheese and apples, and guess what? They showed up. They were hungry. Kids need to be rewarded for coming to school."
Nourishment can be found in the most unlikely of neighborhoods in Chicago. The violence isn't going away, and it has a profound impact on the kids who are not protected from it. Schools like Christ the King strive to create a community "committed to 'curs personalis', that is, care of a whole person – mind body and soul."
May 9 was a violent day across the entire city. Chicago police say one person was killed, eight in all wounded in shootings. Most cases were gang-related. Police do a good job of keeping track of who was shot, killed, wounded or in other ways harmed by the violence.
What they don't keep track of are the children traumatized by the violence right outside their door. Children who can make good or bad decisions the rest of their lives based on fear. Children who will one day run this city.

Press Ups in the mud made a lasting impression
Its strange how some people can have an impact on your life and they probably never realised that they did. Sometimes that can be in a negative way; maybe someone saying something hurtful that scarred you for life. Hopefully for most of us it will be some small kindness, a word of encouragement or advice that stays with us forever.
One such man for me was the football manager and coach Mike Smith.
This week I heard the sad news of the passing of the former Wales boss and it brought back to my memory a very wet and muddy morning at Ashleigh Playing fields sometime back in the early 1970's.
But before I get to that here's some background to Smith's career.
Mike was the first Englishman to manage the Welsh side. People will often tell you that before Wales made it to the Euros in 2016 the team hadn't qualified for a major tournament since the 1958 World Cup. Well that wasn't quite true. In 1976 Mike Smith's Wales team made it through to the quarter finals of the Euros only to lose to Yugoslavia after some dubious refereeing decisions from an east German referee.
What's more they qualified by actually topping their group above Hungary and Austria. I remember travelling to the Race Course, the home of Wrexham for the final game of the group stage against Austria. A friend of mine was a postman and he managed to get a few of us onto the Swansea Post Office coach trip. I was 15 years old with a Harrington jacket, flared jeans, platform shoes and a Welsh scarf and I still remember the moment little Arfon Griffiths scored the only goal of the match in the 69th minute.
We got back to Swansea in the early hours of the following day. I think part of the deal with my parents was if I took the day off for the match I would have to go to school the following day no matter how tired I was. But it was worth it, and I had the match day programme to show everyone in the schoolyard the following day that 'I was there'.
Although obviously disappointed Smith managed to keep his squad together for the following World Cup campaign. This was a great Welsh team including Dai Davies, Joey Jones, Leighton Phillips, Flynn Mahoney, Toshack and Yorath. The outcome of the group would once again turn on a poor refereeing decision. The Welsh FA had decided to capitalise on their home advantage to make as much money as possible by playing the game in Liverpool at Anfield! That just made it all the easier for the Tartan Army to invade from the North. Although I was miles away watching the game on the TV in Swansea it was plain by the volume of the Scottish support that home advantage had now been sold to the Scots.
The game turned on a penalty given to the Scots after Joe Jordan, the Scottish Centre Forward handled the ball. At the time it seemed harsh, the replays proved that it was a Scottish hand that had punched the ball. A goal down in the 78th minute meant Wales had to throw caution to the wind in an attempt to find an equaliser and that allowed the Scottish hero of the Kop, Kenny Dalgleish to break away for a second in the 85th minute,.
After that Mike Smith headed first to league football managing Hull and then more international management with Egypt where he finally won a competition, the 1986 African Cup of Nations. He did have a very short spell in the 1990's back in charge of Wales but he never managed to achieve anything like the success he had had in 1976-78.
So, back in the 1970's Mike Smith was Director of Coaching for the Football Association of Wales. He had got the job after a career in teaching which allowed him to continue his love for football by playing as an amateur for the wonderfully named Corinthian Casuals.
It was as 'Director of Coaching' that I met him on that dismal day at Ashleigh Road. The weather was awful, and the ground was heavy with mud, but we were excited at the prospect of spending a couple of days with Mr Smith. We were a group of young teenagers who made up the Swansea Schoolboys Squad.
Most of the squad already knew each other well either because we had either played against each other for school or youth teams or played together representing the city. We had been a successful team winning the Welsh Shield in previous years, but we were also competitive individuals who all wanted to be selected for International Schoolboy honours and this man might be able to help make that happen.
Swansea Schoolboys Under 11's. Most were at the training session some years later
I still remember it clearly. As a captain of the team the previous year and playing at Centre half I had called for the back 4 to move out as one, to make sure any of the opposition teams forwards would find themselves offside.
As we moved forward the ball suddenly popped back to me and without thinking I swung my foot and kicked it as hard as I could back up the muddy field towards the opposition goal. Then I heard it, the short, sharp piercing whistle from Mike Smith. The game came to an abrupt halt. He told everyone on the pitch to stand still and then he turned to me.
He didn't shout, but he had the vocal authority of a head master. 'What did you do that for?'
Now, at the time it seemed pretty obvious, their goal was over there. and I was over here, and I was kicking it in that direction. He then made me look at the pitch ahead, where the ball had landed and where my team, and the opposition team were all standing.
He then pointed out all the different places I could have and should have thought about passing the ball instead of just simply kicking it aimlessly up field. I could have laid the ball on for the left winger to run onto, I could have taken a touch and played out to the full backs. There were half a dozen things which, with a little thought, I could have done, but hadn't.
Then, just to make sure I had heard and received that information he re-enforced it by making me do 5 press-ups in the mud.
I never got my Welsh Schoolboy Cap and I never became a professional player but actually what Mike Smith said to me that day has stayed with me ever since. Sometimes just lashing an opportunity upfield in a hit and hope way might work, but surely it's better to think just a little in case there are some much better options in front of us.
Mike Smith, I never got the chance to say thank you for making me get my hands dirty that dismal day, but it was certainly a lesson well learnt.
PS I'll be appearing on 'Songs of Praise' tomorrow singing a song I wrote about my granddaughter BBC 1 at 13.15 if you have a spare few minutes.

Government Politics Trials
New Judge Assigned in Porn Star's Lawsuit Against President Trump
March 14, 2018 March 15, 2018 NATHAN SOLIS
breach of contract, Donald Trump, judges, pornography, scandal, sex
LOS ANGELES (CN) – Adult film star Stormy Daniels's lawsuit to dissolve her agreement with Donald Trump so she can share details about an alleged affair was assigned to a new Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Wednesday.
Attorney Michael Avenatti argued Superior Court Judge Elizabeth R. Feffer should not preside over the case, because she would be prejudiced against Clifford because she is trying to receive a federal judgeship. The case was transferred to Judge Howard Halm with a July 12 hearing.
Stormy Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, sued President Trump last week in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming their $130,000 "hush-money" contract is invalid because Trump did not sign it.
In documents submitted with the complaint, Trump's name is blacked out, and he is listed with the pseudonym David Dennison and Clifford listed as Peggy Peterson, according to the 7-page lawsuit filed March 7 by Avenatti.
Along with Trump, Clifford sued Essential Consultants, a Delaware limited liability company formed by Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen on Oct. 17, 2016, allegedly for the sole purpose of paying Clifford $130,000 in exchange for her silence about a sexual affair with Trump.
Clifford says she "began an intimate relationship with Mr. Trump in the summer of 2006 in Lake Tahoe and continued her relationship with Mr. Trump well into the year 2007." On at least one occasion she and Trump met in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, according to the complaint.
The parties to the hush agreement included Clifford, Trump and Essential Consultants.
Earlier this week, Clifford offered to return the $130,000 in a letter addressed to Cohen's New York firm in order for her to drop her lawsuit and dissolve her nondisclosure agreement. But a deadline imposed by Avenatti passed.
Meanwhile, Clifford started a crowdfunding campaign to help pay for her legal bills to sue the president. Since launching the crowdfunding campaign on Wednesday morning, Clifford has received approximately $65,000.
In the campaign description, Clifford said, "I am attempting to speak honestly and openly to the American people about my relationship with now President Donald Trump and the intimidation and tactics used against me."

Abstract viewing: 5 must-watch films chosen by Vicki Bennett
Vicki Bennett is a visual artist and sound collagist.
Bennett, who works under the artist name People Like Us, has been crafting intriguing audiovisual compositions since the early 90s. Her People Like Us project is defined by a boundary-pushing stance, one that sees Bennett repurposing and layering found footage, music and archives in order to create immersive collages and, oftentimes, witty mixed media mashups that engross all who interact with her creations.
Interaction, or at the very least immersion, continues to play a leading role within Bennett's work. (Her latest piece as People Like Us, entitled Gone, Gone Beyond, is even billed as such.) Debuting this month, and currently out on tour, Gone, Gone Beyond is a spatial cinema experience comprised of edited collage. Utilising 10 screens and eight speakers, plus wraparound project and surround sound, audience members are encased within the feature-length piece itself, with its title and underlying concepts inspired by the Buddhist text Heart Sutra.
In this film list, Bennett walks us through other sources of creative inspiration – be it a David Lynch classic (or at least one season of it, anyway) or a film so pivotal that it inspired Bennett to quit her job and pursue a full-time career as an artist back in 1991. What they all have in common is a boundary-less approach to filmmaking and genre. Scroll down for her five top picks.
Twin Peaks: Season 3
Developed and written by David Lynch and Mark Frost
David Lynch was a big part of the transformation where TV could present 16-hour-long movies. People often say Episode 8 [of Twin Peaks' third season] was the most mind-blowing in terms of moving across scenes, jumping genre and time, and narrative techniques – and I agree. There is the added bonus in that the episode is based in a radio station where they broadcast a song over the radio and it sends listeners into a trance-like unconsciousness, a bit like a scene in Village of the Damned. The record played was My Prayer by The Platters and I sampled that in Gone, Gone Beyond as a tribute to David Lynch.
I had the pleasure of playing sections of this episode on my own radio show on WFMU and also on BBC Radio 3 when I guested on Late Junction. (We had to get permission from David Lynch to play the audio from the scene and he said yes.) I am not a fan of things that are just dark, but I trust David Lynch because of his philosophy in life – he's why I took up transcendental meditation.
Twin Peaks wasn't such a big thing for me but Season 3 blew my mind. Existential wondrousness full of dark humour, and great light and beautiful visions. Lynch makes compelling existential work with a really interesting take on time; he is often inconsequential in his narrative, using concepts of long-windedness and boredom in the same way that Warhol did, but mixed with an incongruous humour like Jacques Tati. He also has an analogue aesthetic – although some animation and extended CGI is used, Lynch is hands-on with the way he works and uses more 'old fashioned' techniques to get the effects he wants.
Directed by Scott Derrickson
A brilliant journey into the world of wonder with stunning special effects. I was a big fan of Sherlock and so was really interested to see Benedict Cumberbatch play this role. I wasn't particularly a fan of Marvel before this point, but it hooked me into it and I very much liked WandaVision for similar reasons – great visual effects and cubist angles as he navigates the folding world and multiple doors of perception. Tilda Swinton, 'the ancient one', pushes him through dimensions and teaches him how to penetrate time and space. Something I'm trying to do too, but without the huge roll call at the end of the movie!
Jodorowsky's Dune
Directed by Frank Pavich
The movie is about a movie called Dune. Once I saw this movie, I never want to see that movie – I just want to hear Jodorowsky talking about it. The endless potential and boundless ambition and vision of this man is better than any movie he has done! That is not a criticism – this is a movie too, and therefore equally inspiring. Watching him show us his huge book of ideas and illustrations and his plans for this movie, with Dali, Welles and goodness knows who else (as well as a great visual effects and illustration team), it was just as well he never made it since thinking about it is enough. A truly conceptual art movie in itself and, if anything, I would love to have a copy of the book he was pawing through.
Directed by Craig Baldwin
A movie by Craig Baldwin about artists who use sampling in their work. It's hugely energetic and inspiring, and meant a lot to me a few decades ago when it came out. I'm glad to say I know a lot of the people in it now. The film revolves around a lawsuit against the group Negativland and features other people in the scene which I've been part of for the past 30 years: Douglas Kahn, The Tape-Beatles, Barbie Liberation Front, Emergency Broadcast Network, John Oswald and more. A great deal of my learning about issues around this area come from Don Joyce from Negativland who I corresponded with intensively in the 1990s. I have since worked a lot with Jon Leidecker (Wobbly), who is now in Negativland, too.
My Dinner With Andre
Directed by Louis Malle
This movie is one long conversation in a restaurant, and by the time it got to [the dessert scenes] I'd decided to quit my job (the only one I've ever had), move town and be an artist forever. The whole film is just two people sitting in a restaurant and catching up on the time spent since they last saw each other. It's the kind of conversation that I might have had myself; very reflective, but seeing it on a screen somehow highlighted the importance of thinking and communicating this way. It made me realise in 1991 that the only 'job' job that I'd decided to do was not how I wanted to live.
Gone, Gone Beyond is screening at Spill Festival Ipswich (28-30 Oct), Brighton's Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (4-6 Nov), London's Barbican Centre (10-13 November) and Gulbenkian Canterbury (21-23 April)

HOME > TAJIKISTAN > Langar
Langar
Langar is located at the end of the Wakhan Valley and is the point where the Wakhan and Pamir rivers combine to make the Pyanj. The village is set deep within the gorge, where steep, rocky slopes surround the verdant green valley. Although it's a secluded village, the locals are nonetheless proud of their home; houses are immaculately kept and a diversity of plants and flowers keep it synonymous with the verdant valley.
The scenery here is timeless. Just a short walk out of the village will give visitors breathtaking views over the canyon and the azure river. With many years of history in this region, the valley is peppered with archaeological remains, from historical ruins to ancient petroglyphs. It's a seldom-visited village that will take visitors back in time to how the indigenous farmers have lived here for centuries. Through this simple way of life, a pure and natural beauty shines through, where nature's blues and greens shine more brightly and the only sounds that can be heard are the wind rustling through the trees and the gentle gushing of the river.
Hike to Ratm Fort
Just over three miles out of Langar is Ratm Fort. The name translates literally as 'first', so named for being the first fort in the Wakhan Valley. The hike is not an overly-draining pursuit but with some rocky terrain and inclined slopes, it does have a few challenges to offer. The fort is a dramatic sight, perched on a sheer drop overlooking the gushing river below and surrounded by three cliffs.
The petroglyphs of Langar are one of the biggest jewels of the village. A short walk uphill towards a large rock face above the village will take visitors to over 6,000 enchanting Bronze-Age carvings. The trek also gives visitors an opportunity to enjoy spectacular views over the meandering green valley and surrounding Hindu Kush mountains in Afghanistan.
Sacred Hot Springs of Bibi Fatima Zahra
The sacred hot springs of Fatima Zahra lie deep within the Wakhan Valley of Tajikistan's Pamir mountains. Unlike most of the hot springs in this region, these are not open-air and are kept in a rock alcove, built into the rock face. Soaking in these crystal-clear mineral waters is said to have rejuvenating properties, while also bestowing fertility and granting wishes.
Yamchun Fort
Located in the same vicinity of the Hot Springs of Bibi Fatima lies Yamchun Fort. This ancient ruin dates back to the 3rd century B.C and is perched on a rock shelf 1,640 feet above the river. From the fort's walls, visitors can see for miles in each direction, up and down the valley.

City, county and state officials recognize Conservancy and supporters for raising $38.8 million to benefit land, water, wildlife.
Representatives from the State of Florida, Collier County and the City of Naples have officially recognized the Conservancy of Southwest Florida and donors to the "Saving Southwest Florida" Campaign for raising $38.8 million to benefit Southwest Florida's environment. During a May 10 event at the Conservancy, Kristi Bartlett, representing the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, proclaimed May 10, 2011 as "Saving Southwest Florida Day" in Collier County. In addition, City of Naples Councilmember Doug Finlay read a proclamation on behalf of City of Naples Mayor Bill Barnett declaring May 10 as "Saving Southwest Florida Day" in the City of Naples. Representing the State of Florida, Sandra Mummert, a legislative assistant for Senator Garrett Richter's office, shared a state proclamation recognizing the Conservancy for successfully completing its fundraising endeavor to enhance the environment for decades to come.
The largest environmental campaign in Collier County and one of the largest in the state of Florida, the "Saving Southwest Florida" Campaign proceeds will support core Conservancy programs and endowment for ongoing and future policy, advocacy, environmental science, research and education. This includes the renovation and construction of new sustainable buildings at the Conservancy to transform the 21-acre campus into the premier Nature Center in the southeastern United States.
Built in 1984, the original Conservancy buildings have become outdated, cramped and energy inefficient. The "Saving Southwest Florida" Campaign will fund the renovation and construction of sustainable buildings at the Conservancy Nature Center. These projects, which meet stringent Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, include the new von Arx Wildlife Clinic, Dalton Discovery Center, Ferguson Learning Labs, Eaton Conservation Hall and the Sugden Gomez Environmental Planning Center. A major portion of the campaign funds provided the resources to purchase additional land and build a new entrance to open access to the Conservancy Nature Center from Goodlette-Frank Road: Smith Preserve Way. Ultimately, this new entrance may also provide access to the future Gordon River Greenway Park. Part of achieving this goal was funding for the eight acres of property the Conservancy purchased from the Fleischmann family. This valuable natural upland and scrub habitat, located between the Conservancy Nature Center and Goodlette-Frank Road, is now safe from major development and is known as the Christopher B. Smith preserve. The Conservancy Nature Center campus renovations are expected to be completed by late 2012.
· A new strategic partnership with Florida Gulf Coast University to focus on enhanced environmental education.
· Support for sea turtle research, monitoring and protection.
· Resources for wildlife rehabilitation training and veterinary services.
· Funds for policy and advocacy efforts for ongoing and future work.
· Support for research projects such as Everglades restoration and water quality research.
The Conservancy of Southwest Florida began its sustainable campus initiative in April 2009 as part of its "Saving Southwest Florida" Capital Campaign. The 21-acre Conservancy Nature Center is being transformed into a model for sustainable design and environmental responsibility, with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards incorporated into the new and renovated buildings. Once completed, the new Conservancy of Southwest Florida Nature Center will include two new buildings and three major rehabilitation projects.
The von Arx Wildlife Clinic with more space, improved treatment areas and modern equipment.
Totally remodeled Dalton Discovery Center with new and exciting immersive environmental exhibits featuring the habitats of southwest Florida.
The new Sugden Gomez Environmental Planning Center with updated research laboratories, staff offices and meeting rooms to allow for even greater environmental collaboration.
Eaton Conservation Hall will be re-built on the foundation of the current Delnor Auditorium and used for a theater and increased environmental education programming, meetings and events.
Ferguson Interactive Learning Lab for hands-on learning about environmental topics relevant to southwest Florida and sustainability.
Christopher B. Smith Preserve to protect natural upland and scrub habitat and native wildlife.
Two constructed wetlands areas serving as natural filter marshes to cleanse storm water runoff before it's released into the Gordon River and Naples Bay.
New trails, gardens and walkways featuring native landscaping.
New environmental education and programming, trails and new Nature Center experiences.
The project also includes a new entrance to the Conservancy Nature Center, Smith Preserve Way, from Goodlette-Frank Road that will bring the vision of a "Naples Central Park" closer to reality. The new entrance will potentially provide access to the Gordon River Greenway Park and the Naples Zoo.
All new buildings will be built to rigorous LEED standards.
LEED standards will be applied across the overall for Nature Center.
Water conservation will be emphasized and best management practices for storm water management applied. Storm water will be captured for re-use or filtered before naturally flowing into the Gordon River.
Energy efficiency will be incorporated at every opportunity with a multi-year goal to achieve "net zero" energy cost.
Campus construction has been phased over several years to minimize the impact on Conservancy guests and staff. Completion is expected sometime in late 2012.
Since 1964, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida has focused on protecting water, land and wildlife through environmental education, policy, science and wildlife rehabilitation. 1450 Merrihue Dr., Naples, FL , (239) 262.0304, www.conservancy.org.

A key feature of the project, which is new to alpine transport, is the fact that the entire railway line will stay at the same altitude of 500 metres (1,650ft) above sea level. This will allow trains using the line to reach speeds of 240kmh (149mph), reducing the travel time between Zurich and Milan from today's four hours to just two-and-a-half.

After more than a decade of construction, workers completed the world's longest rail tunnel last week. The immense 35.4-mile-long structure cuts under the Swiss Alps.
The Gotthard Base Tunnel cost $10 billion, but there's still more to come before trains can start taking riders through the passageway. Popular Mechanics explains the impending phase of the project:
The next step is to begin testing the tunnel's ventilation, communication infrastructure, and of course the tracks along which trains will barrel at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour. The testing begins in October and if all goes well—so far it has; the project has suffered no large delays—the first passenger trains will blast through it on June 1st, 2016. This is one tunnel you'll have no hope of holding your breath all the way though.

The channel sounds like a claustrophobe's worst nightmare. The tunnel is four rail tracks across and excavation began in 1999. Three-story high mining machines drilled down into the area to build this monstrous tunnel. The modern rails run 2,000 feet below an older 10-mile tunnel that opened way back in 1882.
The Gotthard Base Tunnel will help make travel across the Alps more efficient, safer and healthier for the environment. Stare into the eerie abyss in the gallery above.

Bevo's proprietary greenhouse technology
Bevo's greenhouse technology and proprietary processes are expected to further enhance Aurora's genetics licensing business and pave the way for large-scale cannabis propagation. Bevo's management team will maintain substantial ownership in the combined company and work with Aurora to create the next generation of cannabis products. The management team brings with it a proven track record of revenue and EBITDA growth.
Bevo currently owns and operates 63 acres of greenhouses in British Columbia and sells its products to greenhouses, nurseries, field farms, and wholesalers throughout North America. The company has consistently generated revenue and earnings growth over the past decade. Its most recent financial results show growth of nearly 9 million adjusted EBITDA in the twelve months ending June 30, 2022. The company also exhibits seasonality in its business, with the strongest financial periods occurring from January to June.
The Aurora Sky Transaction is subject to certain third-party approvals and can result in up to $25 million payable to Bevo. The transaction was facilitated by Lazard Canada Inc. and Stikeman Elliott LLP. Bevo and Aurora also engaged the services of Agentis Capital Advisors and Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP.
Bevo's management team retains substantial equity ownership
Bevo is a Canadian greenhouse company with 63 acres of production space and a team of experienced management that has more than 85 years of combined experience. The company supplies plants to greenhouses, nurseries, field farms and wholesalers. Over the past decade, Bevo has consistently increased its revenues and earnings. It is the largest supplier of propagated vegetables and ornamentals in North America. The company operates in a seasonal cycle, with its strongest financial period being January to June.
John McLaughlin is the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Bevo. He joined the company in 2004, shortly after it went public. He has previously held positions with Air Liquide Canada and Unitor Ships Service. He has a Business Administration degree from Redeemer University and is a Chartered Professional Accountant.
During the merger, Bevo will also introduce a new business, CubicFarm Systems Corp., an agriculture technology business developed by its management team. CubicFarms plans to list on the TSXV as a separate company. In addition to the deal, Zenabis will maintain its stake through Zenabis Ventures. Ultimately, the merger will create a company with nearly 3.5 million square feet of production space.
Bevo's innovative processes
Aurora is a Canadian company that has created and is defining the future of cannabinoids. Aurora recently acquired a controlling interest in Bevo Agtech Inc., which is the sole parent of Bevo Farms Ltd.

Aurora will pay approximately $45 million for Bevo's controlling interest. The deal is subject to certain third-party approvals. Bevo's shareholders will receive $12 million in Aurora common shares. Before the transaction can close, Aurora must obtain the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Aurora's common shares are traded on the NASDAQ and TSX under the symbol "ACB" and are a constituent of the S&P/TSX Composite Index. The company is a leading supplier of propagated agricultural plants in North America, with facilities located in Aldergrove and Pitt Meadows, BC. It sells its products to nursery and wholesalers across North America.
Bevo's safety classification of SSCs
Safety classification is critical for ensuring the integrity of the systems that control nuclear power plants. This classification determines the importance of certain components and structures to safety, as well as their consequences if they fail. The classification criteria include probabilistic risk assessment data and prescriptive requirements. In addition, the safety classification criteria also determine the physical layout of systems in a plant.

National Review:
Thomas Sowell has decideed that 86 is old enough to stop writing his weekly column. Though I respect and understand his decision, but I mourn it. In my mind he is finest current conservative mind on the planet. He would be the first to tell you that there are no irreplaceable men -- I yeild to his wisdom, but he feels irreplaceable to me just the same.
Over at National Review, they are having a retrospective that is well deserved. If only Sowell had been our first Black President rather than BO, the world would be much brighter today! The following is from the excellent column linked above and I think makes a giant point that is easy to miss. Even a brilliant mind like Sowells, studying under one of the leading lights of economic freedom, Milton Friedman, was still a Marxist after studying under Friedman! It was EXPERIENCE that showed Sowell the way the world really was. Had he remained an academic, he would likely be a Marxist still.
"The young man from Harlem earned degrees at three elite institutions: Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Chicago. It was at the third of these that he got his Ph.D. in economics. "I was a Marxist when I went to the University of Chicago, and I was still a Marxist after I took Milton Friedman's course." Incidentally, he holds the Rose and Milton Friedman chair at the Hoover Institution. "But just one summer as an economics intern in Washington got rid of all of that." Sowell worked in the Labor Department, in the Wage and Hour Division. He was interested in whether minimum wages helped the poor by raising their pay or hurt them by denying them jobs. He found that the personnel around him were interested in other things: namely, the preservation of their own jobs, and the perpetuation of government programs. "Government has its own incentives," he says. He was on his way as a conservative and free-marketeer."
Collectivism often sounds good in theory, but to date it has always failed miserably in practice. Some watered down versions like FICA and Medicare in the US have seemed to last a good long while, but they come with the "feature" of an ever increasing unpaid liability hanging over our heads -- currently something on the order of $130 TRILLION dollars and rising. Europe and Japan have similar programs and all three have been saddled with poor grouth for 16 (Europe and the US), and 26 years (Japan). While academics and government bureaucrats would be loath to admit it, it is just barely possible that a $130 trillion (US alone) ecomonim sword haning over your head just might slow growth a bit!
Sowell understood that good advice was good advice -- even if it came from a white guy. I loved this paragraph.
And Sowell thinks back on a "crucial point" in his own student career. He was in his very first semester at Harvard. And his roommate said, "Tom, when are you going to stop goofing off and get some work done?" Sowell thought, Goofing off? But I'm going full-bore! When the midterm grades came out, he had two D's and two F's. Then he knuckled down. Today, he says the following about his roommate (who became a math professor): "His lighting a fire under me is probably the only reason I graduated" — which he did magna cum laude. He adds a comment about our present America: "How many white students are going to tell a black student, 'Why don't you stop goofing off and get some work done?' Oh, heavens." These students would be hauled up before deans, "at the very least."
Can anyone deny that in a unniversity today, Sowell is correct? Why the ONLY reason that a white student could be doing better than a black today is "white privilege". A short time reading Sowell will convince any white person that "white privilege" doesn't allow many white people's names to be uttered in the same sentence as Sowell's relative to intellectual capacity and wisdom!
I definitely realize it HAS been my distinct privilege to read the words of Thomas Sowell. I thank our creator and the tireless efforts of Dr Sowell for allowing me that opportunity!

If you want to have a successful phone interview, it is necessary to avoid unnecessary interruption either through noise, dropped calls, miscommunication or any other disturbance.
Below are some tips that you should be aware of so as to have a great phone interview.
Find out what the job entails by thoroughly going through the job description. Once you have done that, highlight how you are the best person for the job because of your verifiable skills, accomplishments and qualifications.
If it is necessary for you to have an MBA degree and you don't have one or are in the process of getting one, mention that you want to get an MBA degree and have taken steps to do so.
Know as much as you can about the company that you intend to work for. This will not only save you and your interviewer time, but it will also let the interviewer know that you mean business and are thorough.
Go online and do research on popular interview questions. This will give you get you prepared and give you confidence, which is an important tool to help you relax and thus better able to handle the interview.
If you are going to have a Skype interview, ensure that your laptop is fully charged, and that you have a reliable back-up internet modem, in case your main one fails.
You should also have a landline or a fully charged mobile phone on standby just in case you need them.
Interruptions could include other incoming calls, alarms, screaming pets and children and other household members. Sometimes you may not be able to get rid of them so just keep in mind that you will need to handle them immediately and effectively to avoid loss of focus.
Depending on the length of your interview or on your level of nervousness, your mouth will get dry. This could distract you leading you to choke or cough. You want to have some water close by so that you can consistently re-hydrate and remain at peak performance.
The idea here is to remain sharp and take notes when you have to, and pay close attention to what your interviewer says. It might be important to remember what the interviewer says later on.
When you respond to questions be clear, brief and to the point. Give a pause before you speak so that you ensure that the interviewer has finished talking and also so that you can think about what you want to say and say it the best way that you can.
Towards the end of the interview, clarify any issues that are not clear especially with regards to follow-up interviews or what to expect as the next step in the interview process.
The interviewer will most likely give you an indication of when the interview is about to end by asking you if you have any questions.
After the phone interview, go through your notes and follow up on any tasks that you have to. Write a thank you email and be patient and positive as you wait for a response.

CALEB LANDRY JONES 'The Mother Stone'
The Mother Stone by Caleb Landry Jones
"I think most of it takes place in dreams," Caleb Landry Jones says of his debut solo album, The Mother Stone. "I'm talking more about dreams than I am about what's happened in the physical realm. Or I'm talking about both, and you're not sure what's what." This is the kind of conversation you end up having about a record like this one, a sprawling psychedelic suite built from abrupt and disorienting detours and schizoid shifts of voice, its manic energy forever pulling the tablecloth out from under classic pop orchestration. One minute you're squarely in the realm of biographical fact and a moment later you're having a discussion about lucid dreaming and how Jones once punched up a dream set on a soccer field by willing himself to experience it from the POV of the ball. But maybe that's just another story about grabbing the wheel of your own hallucination; maybe this pertains to the music after all.

The Frogs a shoo-in against Colorado State
After being leapfrogged by the University of Oregon in the polls following a less than spectacular victory at Southern Methodist University, TCU football will look to rebound at Colorado State University on Saturday in the Frogs' Mountain West Conference opener. Colorado State is coming off its first win of the year, beating Idaho 36-34 last weekend and ending a 12-game losing streak for the CSU Rams. TCU must win convincingly in order to prevent dropping further in the polls.
When TCU is on offense
Senior quarterback Andy Dalton is coming off a disappointing game against SMU in which he threw two interceptions and had only 174 passing yards. He will look to capitalize on the Rams 98th ranked defense this weekend.
The CSU defense is giving up averages of 35 points per game and 424 yards per game. However, Dalton won't have to throw often because CSU gives up an average of just over 167 yards per game on the ground.
The Rams have not faced a rushing attack like TCU this season, so Horned Frog running backs should have strong performances and plenty of carries against CSU's defensive line is led by senior defensive tackle Guy Miller, who leads the team with two sacks. The Frogs' veteran offensive line should have no problem opening rushing lanes and protecting Dalton. The Rams have a veteran linebacking corps, but they are not anything special. The TCU offense should have a big day against CSU and will look to fix some of the issues it faced during the SMU game.
When TCU is on defense
The Horned Frogs looked out of place on defense against SMU, giving up a surprising 139 yards rushing to sophomore running back Zach Line.
CSU running back Raymond Carter is coming off his best game of the season. He had 104 yards rushing and 120 yards receiving, including a 72-yard touchdown. Containing him will be the Horned Frogs' top priority on defense.
CSU quarterback, freshman Pete Thomas, had a solid game against Idaho throwing for 386 yards and three touchdowns, but that was only his fourth start as a collegiate quarterback. He has never seen a defense like the 4-2-5 TCU runs or anything like the speed TCU can put on the field. Despite his strong performance against Idaho, Thomas has not protected the football well with seven interceptions so far this season.
TCU did not pressure the SMU Mustangs well and they should rebound against a mediocre offensive line. The TCU secondary should also feast on some ill-advised throws by Thomas.
The CSU Rams will have no answer for TCU on offense or defense. They simply do not have the talent or coaching to compete on the same field as the Frogs. The only way TCU can lose this game is if they beat themselves with dumb mistakes, and head football coach Gary Patterson is not about to let that happen.
Allen Kellogg is a sophomore journalism major from Alexandria, VA.

Q: Issue while testing route entries using mvccontrib test helper in MVC4 I am trying to write test methods for Route entries and in my route config there were a lot of entries for different action. I am using MvcContrib.TestHelper for Testing . I am new to MVC as well as TDD. Kindly help me to solve this issue. My test case is failing and what can I do to make it pass .
Route Entry
routes.MapRoute(
name: "X1Details",
url: "X1/{X1ID}",
defaults: new { controller = "X1", action = "Index", X1ID = "X1ID" }
);
X1Controller
public ActionResult Index(int? instanceID = 0, string InfoMsg ="")
{
}
Test Method
[Test Method]
public void Should_Route_X1Index()
{
"~/X1/"
.ShouldMapTo<X1Controller>(action => action.Index(null, ""));
}
Error
Test method
XXX.Tests.MVCContibRouteMapTest.Should_Route_X1IndexOf
threw exception: MvcContrib.TestHelper.AssertionException: Value for
parameter 'InfoMsg' did not match: expected '' but was ''; no value
found in the route context action parameter named 'InfoMsg' - does
your matching route contain a token called 'InfoMsg'?
Thanks in advance.
A: I've found this approach to work, which should allow your controllers to remain the same
[Test Method]
public void Should_Route_X1Index()
{
var routeData = "~/X1/".Route();
routeData.Values["InfoMsg "] = "";
routeData.Values["instanceID"] = "0";
routeData.ShouldMapTo<X1Controller>(action => action.Index(0, ""));
}
A: Default values don't work well with MVCContrib helper. You could modify your controller action like so:
public ActionResult Index(int? instanceID, string InfoMsg)
{
...
}
and then:
"~/X1".ShouldMapTo<X1Controller>(action => action.Index(null, null));

The Great Julia RNG Refactor
Posted on June 21, 2012 by John Myles White in R bloggers | 0 Comments
[This article was first published on John Myles White » Statistics, and kindly contributed to R-bloggers]. (You can report issue about the content on this page here)
Many readers of this blog will know that I'm a big fan of Bayesian methods, in large part because automated inference tools like JAGS allow modelers to focus on the types of structure they want to extract from data rather than worry about the algorithmic details of how they will fit their models to data. For me, the ease with which we can construct automated inference tools for Bayesian models is the greatest fruit of the MCMC Revolution. And it's embodied in lots of great software packages like WinBUGS, JAGS, and PyMC — among severals others I know less well.
When I develop a new model for analyzing small data sets, I typically can do all of my statistical programming in JAGS. But as soon as the data set I'm working with contains more than 100,000 entries, I find that I need to write sampling code by hand. And, of course, I always write my simulation code by hand.
Traditionally, I would use R for both of these tasks because of the wide variety of RNG's provided by R by default. The convenience of having access to functions like rbinom() and rbeta() in out-of-the-box R makes it easy to forgive R's faults.
But there's always been a small hole in the RNG's provided by R: there's no rdirichlet() function in the "stats" package. In Bayesian statistics, the Dirichlet distribution comes up over and over again, because it is the conjugate prior for models with multinomial data, which include almost all Bayesian models for text analysis. Now, it is true that you can find an R function for Dirichlet random number generation in the "MCMCpack" package, but this is inconvenient and I find that I frequently forget which package contains rdirichlet() if I haven't used it recently.
To avoid finding myself in the same situation with Julia, I recently wrote up samplers for the multinomial and Dirichlet distributions. And, as of this week, those samplers are now in the standard branch of Julia.
These new samplers are particularly nice to work with because they can take advantage of a substantial refactor of the Julia RNG design that was worked out by several Julia developers over the past few weeks. I'm going to describe this new interface in general, so that I can show how one can use this interface to draw samples from the multinomial and Dirichlet distributions in Julia.
Inspired by SciPy, the main idea of the new approach to RNG's in Julia is to exploit Julia's multiple dispatch system to make it possible for functions for working with distributions to be named as generically as possible. Instead of using naming conventions as is done in R (think of rbinom, dbinom, pbinom and qbinom), Julia uses the exact same function names for all probability distributions. To generate Gaussian, Gamma or Dirichlet draws, you'll always use the rand() function. For the probability mass or density functions, you'll always use pmf() or pdf(). For the cumulative distribution function, you'll always use cdf(). This list goes on and on: there are even customized mean() and var() functions for many distributions that will return the expectation and variance of a theoretical random variable, rather than the empirical mean or variance of a sample from that distribution.
Julia can make this constant naming convention work smoothly by giving each probability distribution its own explicit position in the Julia type system. For example, there is now a Binomial type defined as:
type Binomial
size::Int
prob::Float64
To generate a random binomial sample with 10 draws with probability 0.8 of heads for each draw, you therefore run the following code:
load("base/distributions.jl")
rand(Binomial(10, 0.8))
I quite like this approach. At times, it makes Julia feel a bit like Mathematica, because you can interact with abstract concepts rather than thinking about data structures, as seen in this calculation of the theoretical variance of a binomial variable:
var(Binomial(10, 0.8))
That's enough of an introduction to Julia's new RNG design for me to show off the multinomial and Dirichlet functionality. Here we go:
# Multinomial
# The multinomial distribution for one draw of one object with p = [0.5, 0.4, 0.1] of drawing each of three objects.
d = Multinomial(1, [0.5, 0.4, 0.1])
# Draw one object from three types, all equally probable.
d = Multinomial(1, 3)
# Compute the mean and variance of the distribution under its parameterization.
mean(d)
var(d)
# Compute the probability mass function.
pmf(d, [1, 0, 0])
# Draw a random sample.
rand(d)
# Dirichlet
# The Dirichlet distribution with concentration parameter = [1.0, 2.0, 1.0].
d = Dirichlet([1.0, 2.0, 1.0])
# The mean and variance of this distribution.
# Compute the probability density function.
pdf(d, [0.1, 0.8, 0.1])
I'm excited to have these tools in Julia by default now. They'll make it much easier to write clean code for Gibbs samplers for models like LDA that make heavy use of Dirichlet priors.
I also want to note that while I was writing up these new samplers, Chris DuBois has been building some very general purpose MCMC functions that will let people write a sampler for an arbitrary Bayesian model fairly easily. You can see his examples on GitHub.

Levene family gift names the Leejay Julius Levene Practice Studio
Leejay Levene played the clarinet and bass guitar
Local philanthropists and community builders Ron and Shirley Levene have made a generous gift to the Making Space for Music Campaign to name the Leejay Julius Levene Practice Studio in memory of their son Leejay, who passed away tragically in 2007 at the age of 18.
"He really loved music, and he played the clarinet and the bass guitar," says Ron about Leejay. "We thought this would be a good way for people to remember him, and to support the arts community in Waterloo, where he was born and raised."
Ron and Shirley knew that the Making Space for Music project "would be a good fit for us from the get-go," as Shirley says.
The Levenes' relationship with Laurier's Faculty of Music was fostered by Dr. Glen Carruthers, former dean of the Faculty of Music, who retired in the fall, and passed away on Dec. 24, 2020.
First introduced through a mutual friend whose son had just entered the Music program at Laurier, Shirley and Ron hit it off with Glen immediately. "Right away, we felt like we had known him for years," says Shirley.
"We would sit with Glen, and we would examine floorplans, maps, and talk about the future Faculty of Music building. He would give us copies of the floor plans to take home so that we could choose which room to name after Leejay," she adds.
For Ron and Shirley, supporting the community in Waterloo Region is something that comes naturally. While the couple met in Montreal, they moved back to Ron's hometown of Kitchener in the 80s to settle down and raise their three sons Casey, Leejay and Elli.
"When we moved here about 35 years ago, it took me a while to get used to living in a small city," Shirley says. "But I put my whole heart and soul into our community here, and that's what makes me happy. It's therapeutic for me to give back, and to remember Leejay every single day. Deep down, I'm a very big community supporter."
Shirley especially appreciates the collaborative spirit between charities in Waterloo Region. "Everything is like a basket-weave," she says. "I like the fact that charities support other charities here."
Every year, the Levene family produces a calendar featuring artwork created or inspired by Leejay. The proceeds go to partner organizations making a difference in the community, such as the Kitchener Public Library, the Gies Family Centre in North Waterloo, Community Support Connections Meals on Wheels, Waterloo Crime Stoppers, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, to name a few.
"It gives us a sense of ownership," says Ron. "We take a lot of pride in our community. It's exciting to see when students come from abroad, how much respect they have for Waterloo and for Laurier, for its Music programs. It's one of the top music schools in Canada, so we're just anxious to see this project go ahead. It's very positive for our community, for the city, for all the students."
"This was Glen's baby, his project," Shirley adds.
The Leejay Julius Levene Practice Studio will be prominently placed in the new Savvas Chamberlain Music Building, accompanied by a plaque with a photo and story provided by the Levene family. The Making Space for Music campaign aims to raise $15 million to renovate and expand Laurier's Waterloo campus Faculty of Music building, transforming it into an improved space for teaching, practising, rehearsing and performing.

5 Talking Points of South Africa Vs India 2nd T20I 0
Abarna Yadav February 22, 2018 1:40 pm February 22, 2018
South Africa defeated India by 6 Wickets in the 2nd T20I match in SuperSport Park, Centurion to stay alive in the three match T20 series. With the series levelled at 1-1, both teams now have lot to play for in the final and 3rd T20 Match at Newlands, Capetown. Here we pick some points from the 2nd T20 international which are worth to have a look back:
1) Proteas put the first punch:
With South Africa won the toss and asked the visitors to bat first, the South African bowlers set the tone early for them. Chris Morris bowled a maiden first over, followed by the wicket of Rohit Sharma by J.Dala, the very fast ball he faced, puts the visitors on the backfoot. However Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina scored some quick runs to break the shackles before the former chips to Behardien at Mid-on of JP. Duminy's bowling for a 14 ball 24. In comes Skipper Virat Kohli. But there was no Kohli show yesterday as he was dismissed for 1 by a delivery that climbed steeply from a back of a length to kiss Kohli's gloves only to get nested in the hands Klassen. A rare failure from India's run-machine would later prove to be costly.
2) Indian middle order fired:
After the dismissal of Kohli came Manish Pandey to join Raina in the middle. Pandey took some time initially and then stepped up the gears. Raina threw his wicket against the run of play on 30 runs and MSD joined the middle along with Pandey. MS took some time to settle down as usual but Pandey continued to assault the Proteas bowlers and reached his half-century.
This proves to be a happy hunting ground for Pandey as he scored a First IPL 100 by an Indian batsman in this venue, almost 10 Years ago in the 2nd edition of IPL. Dhoni came into party in the final overs as he reached his 2nd T20 Half-century in the last over and along with Pandey took India into a good total of 188/4 which was defendible.
3) Opening Woes of South Africa :
With 189 needed to stay alive in the series, SA lost Opener J.J. Smuts for 2 runs in 4th over. However, Hendricks looked solid and kept playing his shots. Skipper Duminy came to the crease with the pressure to deliver. However promising Hendricks perished in an attempt to score quick runs in the powerplay on a personal score of 26 leaving South Africa in a spot of bother.
4) Klassen fires!
South Africa promoted WK-Batsman H.Klassen over Duminy in the batting order which turned out to be a masterstroke. Right from the word go Klassen played his shots. He hit two sixes off Jaydev Unadkat to sign off the powerplay on a high. He then punished the Indian bowlers, particularly Chahal was brutally assaulted by Klassen as he scored 5 Sixes and 1 boundary off him.
Finally he fell for an off-cutter from Unadkat, caught behind by MSD. He scored 69 0f 30 Balls which included 7 sixes and 3 fours. By the time he left the field to a roaring appreciation from the home fans, the local lad ensured that he had put his team in a driving seat.
5) Duminy finishes it off:
South African captain joined to the party after the departure of Klassen . He initially played the second fiddle during his partnership with Klassen but shifted gears to make sure that he puts the Indian bowlers in check. Though Miller was out for a paltry score of 5, he along with F. Behardein ensured a comfortable victory for their team with 8 balls to spare. Duminy was pumped after his winning six , because he knew how important this win was for him & his team. After a string of low scores, the Proteas team must be mighty pleased with him coming back in form. Duminy remained unbeaten on 64 of 40, while Behardein scored 16 of 10.
1) This is the 3rd highest target chased down by SA in T20Is.
2) Yuzvendra Chahal has added an unwanted record to his name-he conceded 64 Runs in 4 Overs-The most by an Indian Bowler in T20s. A FORGETTABLE NIGHT FOR CHAHAL.
3) Interesting relation When MSD scored 50s in T20s:
MSD-56 VS ENG,2017 & Chahal(6/25)-Best Figures For India
MSD-52* VS SA,2018 & Chahal(0/64)-Worst Figures For India
What an awesome day of cricket we had. A Night to remember for Klassen, A Forgettable Night for Chahal & Bitter-Sweet Night for Manish Pandey. This win will boost SA's Morale and they are heading into the series decider with lots of Confidence. Meanwhile, India will look to win the series & end the tour on a winning note before they go home. A Thrilling series decider awaits us at Newlands, Capetown on Saturday. We will have to wait and see which team comes into party on Saturday & enjoy the weekend Party.

There's only one state expected to see economic activity deteriorate in the next six months, according to data released this week.
Hang your head, Free State — Maryland's leading index fell 0.66%, according to data from the Philadelphia Fed.
The national average was for a gain of 1.51%, with Utah rising an impressive 4.36% and New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming each growing above 3%.
The Philadelphia Fed's leading indexes is based on data including state-level housing permits, state initial jobless claims, delivery times from the Institute for Supply Management manufacturing survey, and the interest rate spread between the 10-year Treasury bond TMUBMUSD10Y, -2.00% and the 3-month Treasury bill TMUBMUSD03M, -0.22% .
It forecasts not GDP growth per se but a coincident index, which combines four state-level indicators to summarize current economic conditions in a single statistic.
The news surprised Steven Cochrane, managing director at Moody's Analytics, who specializes in regional economics. "If I had to pick one [state] that might be declining, it wouldn't be Maryland," he said.
It's Maryland's unemployment rate increase that is driving the increase. At 4.3% in March, the unemployment rate is 29th in the nation, but it's climbed by a tenth each month this year.
"It's been quite rare for Maryland to be above the national average, but unemployment can be misleading as it can rise if a community is adding enough people to the labor market," said Anirban Basu, chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group and chairman of the Maryland Economic Development Commission.
And that's indeed what has happened. In Maryland, employment has actually increased during the first three months of the year, it's just that the labor force has grown more quickly.
That said, the Philadelphia Fed's assessment isn't wildly at odds with other data. While the Richmond Fed's Maryland survey of business activity bounced back in April, the three-month average has dropped sharply over the past year.
Maryland's economy grew at just a 1.2% annualized rate in the fourth quarter, the 43rd best, according to data released Friday by the Commerce Department. For all of 2017, Maryland's economy grew 1.5%.
The state will benefit from the increase in federal spending signed into law. However, Maryland's economy is geared more toward nondefense spending than neighboring Virginia.
Over the last decade, establishment growth in Maryland's Montgomery and Prince George's counties has lagged behind Virginia's Arlington and Fairfax counties, as well as Washington, D.C.
All that said, Montgomery County is on Amazon's AMZN, -1.14% shortlist for its second headquarters, as is D.C. and Northern Virginia. "If Amazon comes to the area, Maryland wins most if it comes to Montgomery County, but it wins second most if it goes to D.C. and also wins if it goes to Northern Virginia," Clinch said.
Cochrane pointed out one issue confronting the Northeast in general is the availability of labor, and how that leads to slowing employment growth. "It's an important thing to be watching around the country," he said.

Q: Anti-aliasing does not seem to work in Android Emulator I was working fine with Android Emulator (on Manjaro Linux) a few weeks ago, but after updating software The GUI of Android Emulator is not rendering or anti-aliasing is not working anymore. My apps are displaying horrible texts.
I'm using Hardware-GLES 2.0 for my graphic emulator.
Additional info:
Is there another alternative Android emulator working with Visual Studio Code?
ANSWER: Android Studio's Android emulator is not an efficient emulator, a better emulator is Genymotion.
A: I had a same problem. Downgrading Android Emulator to lower version solved the issue.
Latest version (before 30.9.5) that I could find was 30.8.4 with build id 7600983.
In order to downgrade firstly you will need to download the emulator. Here are the links for the version 30.8.4:
*
*Linux - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-linux_x64-7600983.zip
*MacOS - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-darwin_x64-7600983.zip
*Windows - https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-windows_x64-7600983.zip
You can also download even older versions here are few alternatives
After downloading the needed version of emulator you will need to unzip it.
The next thing is to replace your current emulator with new one.
*
*Go to your Android Sdk folder (mine was ~/Android/Sdk)
cd ~/Android/Sdk
*Rename your
current emulator files folder. mv emulator emulator.bak
*Copy new
emulator
cp -r ~/Downloads/emulator-linux_x64-7600983/emulator/ .
*Replace package.xml file (otherwise Android Studio will not
recognize your new emulator)
cp emulator.bak/package.xml emulator/package.xml
Restart your Android Studio and Enjoy!
A: Seems like this issue was fixed with newest major 32 version of Android emulator.
Newest 32.1.6 and 32.1.7 Canary 1 versions behave like the things were before 30.9.5 which broke anti-aliasing completely for me on all Windows devices. I am using Hyper-V so HAXM is not available for me.

Brixhamtrålare är en brittisk typ av seglande trålare i trä för havsfiske som först byggdes i Brixham i Devon i Storbritannien under 1800-talet och som är känd för att vara snabbgående. Mellan 1880-talet och 1920-talet byggdes vid varven i Brixham fler än 300 fartyg av denna typ.
Formgivningen kopierades av båtbyggare i andra delar av Storbritannien och båtar av typen såldes också på export till fiskare i andra länder vid Nordsjön.
En Brixhamtrålare har stort deplacement, en längd på omkring 20 meter med en lång rak köl, en rak vertikal stäv, vanligtvis ett solfjäderformad akterparti samt låga fribord för att göra det lättare att hantera nät. De har en hög gaffelrigg och är normalt ketchriggade.
Orten Brixham hade en gång i tiden en flotta på 400 sådana trålare, vars typiska röda segel var insmetade med lokal röd lera för att skydda dem. I Lowestoft fanns 375 trålare, i Kingston upon Hull 450, i Great Yarmouth 625 och i Grimsby 850. Idag är fem fortfarande sjögående.

As a Ranger at Glacier Point I have a perfect close-on view of Half Dome and I talk to many people each day regarding the safe technique of hiking there. The hike is about 18 miles round trip, but more important than distance, it is a 10,000 foot elevation gain and loss. The hike is rated "Very Strenuous". Most hikers do the hike to Half Dome in one extreme day. I just hiked it in 3 days. I was comfortable, my knees survived and I had the opportunity to camp out in the wilderness and develop relationships with a couple of new bear friends. I had a lot of fun. The last 440 feet of the distance, the hiker has to pull himself up on cables to the summit. The reward is worth the effort. I have included a few pictures from my hike to Half Dome. Enjoy.
Great photos! Looks like a great hike!
my hubby has done half dome many many times. we did clouds rest together and he said he enjoyed that more than half dome - mainly beause half dome was now included in the incredible view/s from there. i don't think i could do the cables so that is why i haven't done that hike. also, i would want to do it in one day and hubby usually goes with a group and camps in little yos valley so makes it a 2 day trip.

Gritting teams will be out in Nottinghamshire tonight as temperatures are set to plummet across the region.
The county council's crews will be covering all major routes at about 7pm ahead of the big freeze.
This comes after a busy weekend for the 23 crews, as they took to the roads for the county's first snowfall of the year.
With temperatures set to fall again tonight, the crews are due to take to the roads again this evening, although no more snow is expected.
The council currently has around 15,000 tonnes of gritting salt to use.

Mayweather: McGregor will lose 90% of his purse if he kicks
Conor McGregorFloyd Mayweather Jr.Jimmy KimmelMakes Statement
On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Mayweather talks about what would happen if McGregor kicks him.
That's a huge fine. I don't think he wants to lose 90 per cent of his money, or even more. I don't really know what it's gonna be [the fine] but it's gonna be a heavy fine.
Asked if he would kick McGregor back:
I'm not gonna do that. I follow the Queen's rules of boxing.
And if he would fight in MMA:
As of right now, we gotta get past August 26. Once we get past August 26, then we can talk about other things.
White talks fight to Kimmel
Conor McGregorDana WhiteFloyd Mayweather Jr.TV Appearance
White appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the upcoming fight. Kimmel asks if he thinks Conor has a chance at all to beat Floyd Mayweather.
I do…Floyd Mayweather is going to be 41 years old this year. If there's a kink in that armour, it has been with southpaws. Conor McGregor is a southpaw, and he hits like a truck. He's got 12 rounds to land that punch…When he hits people they go, and if he hits Floyd, I think he will hurt him, and when he hurts people he puts them away.
Kimmel:
Is this like a cricket team trying to win the World Series?
No, normally, when boxers fight boxers, there's a system to it. McGregor will be completely unorthodox. It's what makes this fight so intriguing.

Nearly detained in Thailand
Jimmy KimmelOwen WilsonMakes Statement
Wilson tells Kimmel that he is nearly detained in Thailand while on his way back to the U.S. from filming an action thriller No Escape.
The day that I was leaving, somebody asked for a picture and gave me something to put around my neck… I guess this thing that I put on identified me with the rebels – I'm not kidding. All of a sudden, they (authorities) were calling the prime minister's office saying that I was going to be detained from leaving (sic) because these colors and that whistle meant that I was siding with the protesters.

Cecil the Lion monologue
Jimmy KimmelMakes Statement
Kimmell chokes up near the end of a monologue on the killing of Cecil the Lion. After explaining the events surrounding the lion's death to the audience he says:
The big question is: Why are you shooting a lion in the first place? I mean, I'm honestly curious to know why a human being would feel compelled to do that. How is that fun? Is it that difficult for you to get an erection that you need to kill things that are stronger than you? If that's the case, they have a pill for that. It works great. Just stay home and swallow it, and you save yourself a lifetime of being the most hated man in America who never advertised JELL-O Pudding on television.
And, by the way, I'm not against hunting. If you're hunting to eat, or to help keep the animal population healthy, or it's part of your culture or something, that's one thing. But if you're some a-hole dentist who wants a lion's head over the fireplace in his man cave so his douchebag buddies can gather around it and drink scotch and tell him how awesome he is, that's just vomitous.
He also encourages viewers to donate to Wild Cru (http://www.wildcru.org/) the organization that was tracking Cecil.

Explains Oscar name flub
Jimmy KimmelJohn Travolta
On Jimmy Kimmel Live's post Oscar show, Travolta finally explains the reason for flubbing Idina Menzel's name at the 2014 Oscars. His excuses: he ran into Goldie Hawn backstage which got him off track, the prompter put the name onscreen in a phonetic form, and his 15 minutes to speak became one minute and 15 seconds.
She's had one of the best years of her career, and she gives me credit!
Travolta also acknowledged his awkward reunion with Menzel at this year's Oscars:
Apparently, I played with her chin too much.

There are a variety of ways to go about fencing; one is the do it yourself method (DIY) or hiring a professional in fencing. The challenge with the DIY is that one may lack the installation skills hence it might not be that perfect. Employing a fencing expert enables one to bring their fencing dreams to reality. Here are some of the simple guidelines for getting fencing supplies in Haslemere.
Each person has different preferences on the type of fence. One should do some research on the fencing supplies in Haslemere, including the materials and the styles. This will enable one work better with the contractor.
Unfortunately, the installation process is relatively expensive. Therefore, before you settle on a particular fencing style remember to calculate the material and installation costs. This will enable you to plan yourself financially so that process may run smoothly.
Different contractors charge different prices for installation. Asking some contractors for their quotes will enable you chose the one that meets you budgeted cost.
Before a fencing contractor commences the work, he will conduct a survey on the property and ask for about your requirements. Putting this contract in writing is essential.This is to avoid disagreements in future. Before placing your signature make sure that the contractor clarifies any points that are not clear.
Most fencing contractors work on timelines. It is therefore essential that you relay your expectations to the contractor. A professional contractor will make sure that your expectations are met.
Most contractors offer these kinds of incentives to customers. So, ensure that you get informed about these before work is complete.
At Martin Cashmore Fencing, we supply and install all gate and fence types in Sussex, London, Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire.

Get to know our artist of the month.
The best thing about being an artist, for me, is that I am capable of thinking in a way that's different from others. Artists can visualize their emotions and thoughts.
2. Teaching or Painting – what do you enjoy doing the most?
I enjoy sculpting, drawing and painting as well. I have experienced 35 years of teaching art and enjoyed that too.
Life, my experiences, nature, and the environment are reflected in my sculptures, drawings and paintings.
4. How do you manage to work across such a wide variety of mediums?
The medium doesn't restrict me as I am able to work in any medium - pencil, pen, charcoal, and even clay.
5. How do you rate Camel products? What you think is missing in the range?
Camel products are good and are easily available in the market. I have been using poster colours, acrylic, oil, and pastel colours. Pastel colours, which we used to use earlier were good as they were soft. I have also used a CD marker for drawings and found it to be quite good.
6. How and when did you decide to join the world of art?
After getting a diploma in Teaching and Arts and Craft from Jamia Millia Islamia University in the year 1968-70, I was inspired by my teachers Mr. A. Ramachandran and Mr. Paramjit Singh, both well-known contemporary artists, to pursue art further. After that I joined the College of Art, New Delhi in 1972 for my BFA and in 1987 for an MFA in Sculptures.
7. Which is the most memorable Series you have worked on?
My Rhythm series and Soofi in Pen and Ink drawings on paper and canvas are the most memorable and dear to me.
8. Do you try to convey something through your work? Can you give us some examples of the messages you have tried to convey through your paintings/sculptures in the past?
I have tried to convey, through sculptures, how a common man is earning and how they are spending their lives. It's all about the life of a common man especially those who are from small villages and come to metropolitan cities for employment but face a lot of problems.
9. Who is your favourite artist? Both, the ones from past and from the current lot?
I was greatly inspired by Mr. Dhanraj Bhagat, the legendary Sculptor of yesteryears.
10. If you were not an artist, what would you be?
I never think about it as I was always aware that art is my interest and hence, always considered becoming an Artist which I am till today and will remain till the end.
11. Do you interact with the audience? Please tell us about the most memorable interaction you had.
Yes I do interact with the audience and can't refer to any one experience as the most memorable interactions i have is getting feedback and appreciation from visitors; because of that, today I am here.

NYE: Prepping to Pop the Question?
New Year's Eve is a magical night where anything feels possible; fairy tales come true under the sparkling lights of the midnight fireworks, and suddenly a new year awaits and a chance to start afresh.
Some of us will take the chance to ask someone to share our fresh start with us. And whilst it's scary to propose – especially on such a night – there are plenty of ways to perfect the moment before the big day.
The perfect timing is crucial for the incredibly social New Year's Eve night there's nothing worse than a cute moment being ruined by drunken friends and strangers.
Find the best setting and style to suit your loved one: Decide on how public the proposal will be; whether it's a simple moment between the two of you, or the focus of attention surrounded by friends and family.
A romantic tradition you might want to consider before a proposal is to ask the father for permission – which will show your respect for your partner's family.

Q: Is there any point to using wp_unique_post_slug? From what I can tell, wp_insert_post will automatically append a -# to your post slug. So why does wp_unique_post_slug exist?
Is it just there for legacy purposes or is there still a good reason to use it?
A: As the commenters have noticed wp_unique_post_slug is called from wp_insert_post to ensure there are no double slugs. It is also called from two other functions, which explains why it is a separate function and not incorporated in wp_insert_post.
A little used feature is the possibility to apply filters present in wp_unique_post_slug. There are two of them:
*
*pre_wp_unique_post_slug allows you to completely bypass the unique post slug generation, for instance if you want to use a completely different slug for your posts (say, based on some metafield in stead of the title).
*wp_unique_post_slug allows you to change the unique post slug that has been generated, for instance if you dislike the number-suffix and want to replace it with something else or if you want to prepend every slug with the post tag or so.
So, apart from the obvious fact that wp_unique_post_slug is an essential WP function, there are also advanced uses.
