BkiUdUXxK6nrxq6DnmEG | Surreal Shapes: Siobhan Hodge reviews The Curtain Breathed Deeply by Justene Williams
by siobhanchodge
on Sep 22, 2016 September 22, 2016
The Curtain Breathed Deeply is showing at PICA, Northbridge from 17 September to 30 October.
PICA gallery is currently featuring an installation by Justene Williams, rich with textures and colours. The Curtain Breathed Deeply comprises of a series of constructions, initially concealed by a large blue and gold patterned curtain. The massive drape is thickly decorated, yet sections have been removed, offering snatches of insight to what will follow. For Williams, curtains are selective concealment. They invite and distort, but ultimately are flexible and full of life.
Sound plays a key role in the installation. Rhythmic tones with occasional bursts of discord are played at various stages of the exhibit, imparting a disruptive sense of ritual. Couches have been set up in front of some of the televised sections, yet the structure of the exhibit demands that you keep moving. Indeed, movement dominates the installation. Curtains keep moving, television screens flashing, and a particularly key-catching series of dancers and wide-eyed owl puppets flit across the projector screens. The exhibits "breathe": they move, but there is a rhythmic certainty to it, undercut by the unsettling music. Garbage bags layered with handmade felt mushrooms and mould are suspended from the ceiling. There is life here, but it is always followed with some grimmer reminder.
Williams' use of colour and texture is bright, obtrusive, and catches the eye from all angles. However, the majority of her materials appear recycled; these are familiar domestic objects given new life. A paddling pool, scattered with coins, takes the centre of the room, screened off by long tresses of wool, plastic flowers, wigs, and cut-out lightning bolts. The pool's warnings of death by drowning remain plainly in sight; this is a familiar object, childlike and surrounded by fantastic constructions, but connected with reminders of mortality. There is an underlying sombreness to the installations in general, linking with ideas of Dadaism and surrealism. At the same time, there is a sense of ritual; of familiar items made more whimsical via artistic means that invoke strong senses of the handmade, direct, and personal.
The exhibit has been dedicated to the life and works of Williams' father, and the curtain forms a rich motif of both invitation and soft denial – reminiscent of a hospital curtain, but also creating a gentle delineation of spaces in which life in all its complexity and confusion can proliferate. This is a surrealism that is rooted in notions of life and the familiar.

BkiUdvbxaJJQnK0WJU7_ | Big field tipped for Bunbury council election
Thu, 14 September 2017 9:04AM
Camera IconBunbury City Council offices. Credit: South Western Times
Bunbury Mayor Gary Brennan has urged residents to look at the "substance" behind candidates ahead of next month's council election.
Local government election nominations close today and Mr Brennan is predicting a big field of candidates for Bunbury.
With six positions on Bunbury City Council plus the top job up for grabs, campaigning is expected to heat up when the nomination period closes at 4pm today.
Five of the six councillors up for re-election this year are understood to be re-contesting their positions, while long-standing Cr Judy Jones has announced her retirement.
Mr Brennan will fight to keep his position, with several other mayoral contenders already throwing their hats into the ring.
As of yesterday, 13 people had nominated for a council position and five had come forward for mayor.
But Mr Brennan said he expected those numbers to grow.
"I expect there'll probably be 18 nominations for the six council positions and six or seven for mayor," Mr Brennan said.
"The fact we've had so many nominations indicates the interest and passion of people wanting to be involved in our great city."
Candidates have already started campaigning around the city and Mr Brennan said it was hard to tell whether things would heat up, but he warned electors to be smart.
"With the council positions it's hard to say as there's such a big field," he said.
"Some of the candidates have already been very active, including myself.
"What I encourage people not to look at is just the signs and those pumping money into their campaigns because they can afford to do so – look at the substance behind the candidates.
"But our electors are very astute and understand what's going on."
Mr Brennan encouraged residents to take advantage of their "democratic right" and vote in the election.
Councillors James Hayward, Karen Steele, Wendy Giles, Michelle Steck and Jaysen Miguel are also up for re-election.
Bunbury's Returning Officer will conduct a ballot paper draw after nominations close this afternoon and electors will have until October 21 to vote via the postal ballots.

Typhoon jets to test NATO ground based air defence capability in exercise
Typhoon aircraft are taking part in an exercise to test NATO's capability to command and control ground based systems, according to officials.
The RAF said in a press release:
"RAF Typhoons are deployed to Romania as part of the NATO Enhanced Air Policing in partnership with Romania. However there are other dimensions to securing the skies above NATO and the RAF has been playing its part with training sorties to help the UK, Romanian and US forces deployed on Exercise Tobruq Legacy at Capu Midia firing range near Constanta."
In the work up before live firing exercises one of the Typhoon pilots from 3(F) squadron said:
"We gave them two targets today. We came at them from different angles and from different heights. We fly directly towards them. It gives them a chance to use the system to lock onto our aircraft and then we do a couple of evasive turns to test them to their maximum ability."
He added: "It's not an opportunity they are going to get very often to get to try and track and target a Typhoon. It's a good opportunity to work across the nations."
Exercise Tobruq Legacy is an NATO exercise involving 2200 personnel and over 800 vehicles in Lithuania, Romania and the Czech Republic. The purpose is to improve the level of interoperability of multinational Surface-Based Air and Missile Defence systems forces.
3(F) Squadron from Coningsby in Lincolnshire is deployed to Mihail Kogalniceanu air base near Constanta in Eastern Romania as part of the RAF's 135 Expeditionary Air Wing on a NATO mission to enhance Air Policing over Romania.
The MoD say that enhanced air policing is part of the Assurance Measures introduced in 2014 to reassure members how NATO provides the cornerstone of collective defence.

BkiUbMQ4uzki0zhJfL1G | Car-Free Streets, a Colombian Export, Inspire Debate
By JAVIER C. HERNANDEZ
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/24/nyregion/24streets.html?pagewanted=print
When the crowds stream down Park Avenue and bicyclists have taken over Lafayette Street, the question may strike even the most ardent ambler: Whose idea was this, anyway?
Summer Streets — New York City's recreational experiment that will convert 6.9 miles of Manhattan into a car-free park during parts of three Saturdays in August — originated in the Andes. It was born 32 years ago in Bogotá, Colombia, as the Ciclovía, or bicycle pathway, now a 70-mile route through the heart of the city that each Sunday attracts more than one million people on two wheels and two legs.
Bogotá's model has inspired several cities to follow suit. From El Paso to Ottawa, exhaust pipes are becoming a target of disapproval, at least in some areas. Cars have been barred from Guadalajaran thoroughfares and alongside improvised Parisian beaches to make room for the helmeted hordes.
Gil Peñalosa, a pioneer of the car-free effort, flies from city to city planting the seeds of the Ciclovía, a program that he resuscitated a decade ago as Bogotá's head of recreation.
When Mr. Peñalosa, 51, came into office in 1995, the Ciclovía, then eight miles long, was in decline and seemed to be on the verge of shutting down. Today, the weekly ride is nearly nine times longer and can draw up to 1.8 million participants on sunny days, Mr. Peñalosa said.
"It's almost a magical thing that takes place when people go to the forbidden," Mr. Peñalosa said in a telephone interview last week from Portland, Ore., where he addressed a conference on alternatives to car travel. "All of a sudden, the roads are filled with people and you have it to yourself."
He spoke of the Ciclovía with a passion that lent itself to exclamation points: "There are no losers!" "It's fantastic for business!" "It is the best thing Colombia has ever done!"
But the Ciclovía and similar experiments have critics. Business owners frequently complain that closing the streets reduces the flow of customers and hurts sales, and drivers gripe about inconvenience that results from sealing off major traffic arteries.
In New York City, where street fairs and parades already cause headaches for drivers this time of year, some worry that the new program, which will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 9, 16, and 23, will make congestion intolerable.
Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the 11,000-member New York Taxi Workers Alliance, called the program "ridiculous" and said it will make it difficult for cabdrivers to break even.
August is the slowest month for drivers, Ms. Desai said, with the number of fares about 10 percent lower than normal. In addition, drivers are already expecting lackluster demand during August's annual parades in celebration of India and Pakistan.
"I think the administration should remember that Manhattan isn't just a playground," Ms. Desai said. "It's a place of work for thousands of people."
New York City has gained a reputation as a metropolis unfriendly to cyclists, but the city has laid out plans to improve safety over the next few years for the estimated 112,000 daily bike riders.
Barbara Ross came to the city 15 years ago and was too scared to brave streets lined with parked cars, where opening doors can bring a bike ride to a sudden and painful halt. Ms. Ross, 45, is now a regular cyclist and a spokeswoman for the environmental group Time's Up.
She said Summer Streets was a step toward making cycling the preferred means of travel for many New Yorkers. She also said that she hoped the effort would be popular and persuade the city to offer more lanes for bicyclists.
"It's O.K. to start slow, but the city is going to need to take more chances," Ms. Ross said. "The more bikers you have out there, the safer it is going to be."
But some people think bicycles themselves can be a hazard. Bette Dewing, who lives on the Upper East Side and is a longtime advocate for pedestrians, said she was concerned about the safety of residents, particularly the elderly and disabled, while hundreds of bicycles whizzed down the streets.
"They have certain lanes that they're supposed to stay in but they don't. It's just a free-for-all," Ms. Dewing added.
Increasingly, events like the Ciclovía are not just about bikes. In Bogotá, dancers, aerobic exercisers and skaters are common along a route that Mr. Peñalosa calls a "paved beach." People sunbathe, practice yoga along the streets, or sip mandarin juice in the shade.
It is the spontaneity of interaction that results from bringing together a wide variety of people that fuels Mr. Peñalosa's zeal.
"When people come together — young and old, and rich and poor, and male and female, and fat and skinny, and tall and short — everybody!" he shouted. "Then it becomes such a fantastic togetherness, and the complaints go away."

BkiUbKc5qoYDgaG4QBHI | As North America experienced one of the coldest winters in recent history, University of Maryland researchers were surveying the skies above the tropical western Pacific, collecting data that will yield clues about the effects of human activity and ocean biology on the composition of the atmosphere. The research team included two graduate students and Professor Ross Salawitch, who holds appointments in atmospheric and oceanic science, chemistry and biochemistry, and the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center.
The researchers traveled to Guam, an island in the Pacific Ocean 3,300 miles west of Hawaii, where the world's warmest sea surface temperatures lead to the most active cloud systems on Earth. During the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, the combination of heat and moisture in the region causes warm air to rise from the ocean's surface, creating a chimney effect and feeding into huge clusters of thunderstorms. The storms lift gases and particles through the low levels of the atmosphere and into the stratosphere, where they can spread over the entire planet, linger for long periods of time, and influence atmospheric climate and composition worldwide.
As co-principal investigator of the CONTRAST (CONvective TRansport of Active Species in the Tropics) field project, Salawitch helped lead a series of intensive data-gathering flights by three aircraft, the most comprehensive data collection effort of its kind in the region.
"One of our goals was to define the chemicals in the air, with special emphasis on chemicals introduced or altered by humans," explains Salawitch. "There have been measure-ments from long-ago aircraft campaigns, but nothing nearly as comprehensive. This project will give us a strong fingerprint of human activity on the region."
Salawitch served as mission scientist aboard the HIAPER (High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research) aircraft, a Gulfstream V jet sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and modified for advanced research. HIAPER flew at altitudes between 500 and 48,000 feet, along with NASA's Global Hawk, a robotic air vehicle that studied upper-atmospheric composition primarily between 45,000 and 60,000 feet. The British Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements' (FAAM) BAe-146 research aircraft conducted extensive sampling near the ocean's surface. Taken together, the data collected by the three aircraft will give research collaborators a detailed view of air masses spanning tens of thousands of feet from the ocean surface to the stratosphere.
The CONTRAST mission provided a novel way of examining the transformation of the halogen group of elements—bromine, chlorine and iodine—from their origins in the ocean to the stratosphere. The researchers focused on halogen family elements because they remove atmospheric ozone. Classic chemical measurement techniques, including
gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and absorption spectroscopy, required small, autonomous hardware packages designed specifically for the HIAPER platform. Two instruments onboard HIAPER measured organic halogens (chemical compounds with the carbon-bromine bond intact) and two other instruments measured inorganic halogens (chemicals produced once the carbon-bromine bond has been broken). "We can map the transformation of these chemicals to quantify how ocean biology affects the stratosphere," says Salawitch.
Julie Nicely, a graduate student in chemistry, served as mission coordinator on one of the flights and played a critical role in charting the plane's course to optimize the collection of samples. "As we were flying and seeing firsthand the change in air quality, we were able to perform real-time analysis to help us better understand the chemical features of the atmosphere," says Nicely, who also assisted with chemical forecasts and analysis for the entire campaign.
Making and Breaking the Models
Though data analyses are far from complete, Salawitch reports a major surprise. "There was a significant amount of pollution in the atmosphere over Guam. We know this pollution is not coming from Guam and that a pervasive amount is coming from upwind areas. We will be building trajectory models to study the type of pollution and determine where these air masses originated," he explains.
Dan Anderson, a graduate student in atmospheric and oceanic science and CONTRAST team member, also reports an unexpected finding. Anderson, who measured the abundance of formaldehyde in the air using an instrument developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, notes, "We discovered that the middle of the remote, marine atmosphere holds higher concentrations of formaldehyde than we anticipated, which raises a lot of new questions."
Project findings will result in a new data set for evaluation of climate-chemistry models for a previously untested region of the world. "Our data will feed into the work of the air quality community, the climate community and a whole body of chemists eager to see what we have found," says Salawitch. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

Brisbane International Youth Music Festival 2022
FESTIVAL COMPETITION
Brisbane International Youth Music Festival is evolving!
We've got a whole lot of new and exciting changes coming to BIYMF in the next few weeks. Starting with the name, we've decided that in the interest of clarity from this point forward BIYMF will become Brisbane International Youth Music Competition (BIYMC).
The structure of the competition is going to change as well, we're introducing a new Presto Competition for musicians up to the age of 12. While anyone up to the age of 25 can compete in the BIYMC.
We've also secured new international partnerships to offer our participants an exclusive opportunity to take part in the new International Student Exchange Program and play in the Festival Orchestra under the guidance of our Artistic Director – Emin Tagiev.
ABOUT THE COMPETITION
THE PREMIER EVENT FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS
Brisbane International Youth Music Competition held in Brisbane, Australia, since 2012. The competition aims to celebrate the young talent and to provide musically-gifted people with a performance experience to develop professional skills in performing arts.
BIYMC welcomes dozens of participants from all around the globe every year. Participation is possible via live audition or remotely via video submission. All entries get assessed thoroughly by the team of professional internationally acclaimed musicians.
The competition consists of three elimination style rounds. All contestants who progress to the second round (semi-finals) will be rewarded with a Certificate of Participation. The participants excelling to the Finals, will be in the running to receive monetary rewards and diplomas.
The competition provides a unique opportunity to take part in our International Student Exchange Program. Participation in the Exchange Program is by invitation only. The winners of the BIYMC will have a guaranteed invitation, while other contestants that display the necessary qualities can be invited at the discretion of the Artistic Director. The Exchange Program will offer a chance to attend workshops, masterclasses, individual and group lessons with renowned musicians in Europe. For young musicians the experience of sharing knowledge and ideas with their like-minded peers from other countries is invaluable.
Additionally, the participants will have an opportunity to perform as part of a combined Festival and Youth Orchestra during the overseas trip. This time around the Festival Orchestra will perform together with the Youth German Orchestra, conducted by Stafan Kebler in Germany in December 2023.

BkiUcfjxaKPQokFdbUUr | I think the name for the color came later as a derivation from the object, that was named after the country. Orange (the fruit) is named after the country they got it from also in Dutch, Russian, ... but instead of Portugal, they have China.
It is the same in English - the word for the colour was taken from the fruit. Before that, things that are orange were described as yellow or red. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

For me, it's that little bit harder to write after Arsenal fail to win games. It hurts, albeit slightly in this case. So I asked my alter-egos, was it 2 points dropped or a point gained against WestBrom? Xeus sees it as a point gained, so does Arselord but Andy doesn't. He says although we were poor in the first half, we did enough in the second to go home with all three points. I thought we were terrible all through the game say for the last 20 minutes. WestBrom created the better chances and should have gone 2-nil up, twice. Having said that, I think it bodes well that we managed to avoid defeat at the Hawthorns against an Albion team that beat the champions at Old Trafford. It is not like we were beaten 3-nil at our own backyard by a team that hadn't managed to score an away goal all season. Westbrom will take more big scalps and as Wilshere rightly put it,"during the course of the season, we'll look at today and this point as a point gained".
Read : Who is Arsenals most important player
The international break also known as 'the devil' is upon us and I really should hate it but I don't, not this time. With our squad thin as it is at the moment, any break is welcome, especially one that could aid the return of Walcott, Cazorla, Sagna, Podolski and Oxlade-chamberlain. But with Arsenal's injury luck, you fear they'll be coming in for a new set of players that would return from the break injured.
Top of the league after 7 games, Is it time to get excited? The experts say we will get a clearer picture after 10 games. So we wait, 3 more games. But, based on what we've seen thus far we are set to the most exciting title race ever. I am stoked we are involved and will be even happier if we manage to go all the way. Look at our team and tell me you aren't finding it very hard to conceal your excitement.
A picture of a potential 2014/15 Arsenal kit/training gear surfaced online. What do you think about them?

We are experienced Illinois work injury attorneys who will talk to you for free and give direct, honest advice. If you want our help fill out our contact form or call us at 312-346-5578. We cover all of Illinois.
I don't know how to install drywall. I can be handy, but installing drywall is something I've never learned and wouldn't be expected to know if I started talking to a contractor.
You aren't a lawyer. So we don't expect you to know the ins and out of Illinois workers' compensation law. So wondering if you have a case or not is not a dumb question or anything you should be afraid to ask.
The danger with the law though is that many people will give you legal advice even though they aren't lawyers. Maybe they watch a lot of TV shows. Maybe they have been in cases themselves. Maybe they like to read about the law. It's not that they can't be right, but more often than not they are either flat out wrong or missing crucial information.
Usually when a boss says this I think they are trying to screw the worker for the benefit of the company, but in this case it turns out that the boss was in another State and believes that's the law where he is.
For Illinois, the moment you start working you are covered by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act. Literally you could clock in, turn around and slip on water and tear your ACL and have a case before you've ever done any real work.
And if on the second day on the job you are lifting something and feel a severe pain in your shoulder as happened to this caller, you have a case as well.
Now on the other hand if you work for a day or two and allege that caused carpal tunnel or some other repetitive trauma type problem, you'd have a much harder time proving your case.
But don't take legal advice from any non-attorney who tells you that you don't have a case. They might be right, but there's a huge chance that they are wrong. It costs nothing to ask an attorney, so ask and make an educated decision from there. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdxI5qWTD6lY8YIgQ | Atlatszo revealed in September that Viktor Orban and the political and economic elite close to the government are using a €56-million luxury jet and a €21-million yacht. Our audience has been fascinated by the story of the luxury vehicles, thus we decided to build an online tool where anyone can track the yacht and the jet in real time. The ship has been anchored in the port of Rijeka, Croatia since September. The jet flew to Belgrade yesterday.
Since the publication of our first story, we have been tracking where the two vehicles are and covered them in different stories. The yacht, called Lady Mrd, has been anchored in Rijeka for months. The yacht is registered in Malta and is owned by a shell company – there is no data available about its owner. However, Orban's good friend Lőrinc Mészáros has been seen on board and Atlatszo was able to connect Mészáros to the yacht.
The jet, registered in Austria as OE-LEM, has made several trips since our first story was published. We tracked it to London and to Belgrade. The plane flew to the Serbian capital only a day after former Macedonian prime minister Nikola Gruevski announced that he was asking for asylum in Hungary.
The movements of yachts and planes can be tracked online for free – but these tools might be slightly complicated to use.
Therefore we decided to build a user-friendly site that makes it easy for anyone to track where the favorite vehicles of the Hungarian governing elite are at the moment.
Clicking on the drop-down menu you can also pick a specific date which will show you where the vehicles were at that day. If you select a time range, our site will create a map of the movement of the yacht and the jet during that time.
The site is titled NER Travel. The abbreviation NER refers to Nemzeti Együttműködés Rendszere, which means 'System of National Cooperation.' This is a term created by the Orban government after its election victory in 2010, and they used it to refer to the changes in government that they were planning to introduce. Today the word NER, in colloquial Hungarian, means the Fidesz governing elite, complete with the politicians and the oligarchs profiting from it. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

The 2019 Summer Reading Program will kick off on Monday, June 3. This year's theme is 'A Universe of Stories' and a focus on space – with 2019 marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing.
The public library, community organizations and individuals care about your children. Together we've raised funds to offer daily educational programs and lunches to help keep your children's minds and bodies fed this summer. Whether keeping track of the amount of time your children spend reading or the number of books they've read this summer, children who attend the Summer Reading Program keep their minds active and enter the new school year ready to succeed.
All children attending the program must be registered. The program will run each weekday through Friday, July 27 – with the exception of the July 4 holiday. Reading and activities will start at 10 a.m. and lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. Children attending the Summer Reading Program must be picked up by their parent, guardian or designee by noon each day.
The Summer Reading Program is free to attend for children entering first grade through fifth grade in the fall. Age limits have been established and must be enforced to ensure one teacher can plan and successfully deliver a program for all. Older school-aged children are welcome to participate as helpers – as space allows, and all school-aged children are welcome to join us for lunch.
For more information or registration forms, please visit the Waurika Public Library or call 580.228.3274.
Libraries Rock! This summer we're all about music.
Waurika Public Library will again join with other local organizations, groups and businesses to offer daily summer programming and lunch for children.
Children enrolled in first grade through fourth grade in the fall are invited to participate in programming and ANY school aged child is invited to come eat lunch.
This year's Program is scheduled to begin June 4th and conclude July 27th. The Program will be held M-F, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. There will be no programming on July 4th.
Please use the following links to download information, as well as the registration form for enrolling children into this year's Summer Reading Program. Registration for this year's Program should be completed and returned to the Waurika Public Library.
The Waurika City Council on March 12th voted to approve policy changes for the Waurika Public Library as recommended by the Library Board of Trustees.
Due to these new policy changes, all patrons will need to sign the updated Internet Use Agreement before use of electronic equipment (E.g. computers or tablets). All patrons under 18 will need to have their parent/guardian register them under the new Library Policy and Internet Use Agreement before using the library.
* Age requirements for unattended children: Patrons under 12 or in 4th grade and below must be accompanied by a parent or designated responsible person over the age of 18.
* Children/minors in the Library Policy are defined as patrons under the age of 18.
The following sections of the Library Policy have been amended to reflect the approved changes.
Therefore, it is library policy that all children under the age of 12 and/or in the Fourth Grade and under must be accompanied by a parent or designated responsible person over the age of 18 while in the library. Also, if the young a child under 12 is attending a library program, we may require the parent/responsible person to remain in the library throughout the program. Some exceptions to this rule may include attendance at the Summer Reading Program, Santa's Workshop and Dr. Seuss Day. No child under the age of 18 will allowed in the South Room of the library without adult supervision.
Computers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Instructions for operating hardware as displayed near the computer. There is no charge for use of the computer; however, in order to make the service available to as many patrons as possible, a time limit for usage has been imposed. That time limit is one hour. Once the one-hour limit is reached, if there are no patrons waiting for the computers, a 15- minute extension may be allowed by library staff. Total usage time will not exceed 90 minutes in a calendar day. Library staff are available for general assistance in using the computer. However, staff are not expected to train patrons in the use of application programs. Tutorial manuals will be provided when available.
As with all library resources, the library affirms the right and responsibility of parents and guardians to determine and monitor their minor children's use of the Internet. There is no age limit for use of any materials provided on the Internet. Parents or legal guardians who believe that their children cannot responsibly use the library's Internet access are requested to monitor their children's Internet use and must assume responsibility for their children's use of the library's Internet service; prior to being granted access to the Internet, a parent must sign the Internet Use Agreement for children under 18 years of age.
Minors are defined in this policy as children and young people under the age of 18 years.
The updated Waurika Library Policy which includes the Patron Registration and User Agreement Form and Internet Use Form are available at the library and online here.
Let's Talk About It Oklahoma book discussions are starting at the library. To go with the theme of the Smithsonian Exhibit, this year's theme is 'Working to Survive: Surviving to Work'. Our first discussion will be August 8th at 5:30 pm. Our first book on this year's list is 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair. The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power.
Discussions for Let's Talk About It begin at 5:30 p.m.
Opening weekend for the Smithsonian Exhibit 'The Way We Worked' was a great success!

BkiUdTM4ubng5asjolJf | Q: Loading templates in Freemarker templates without setting Directory or Class for template loading Is there any way of loading the Freemarker templates directly without having need to first load the Directory from which templates will be loaded or setting the Class relative to which templates will be loaded.
i.e Is there any way so that i can load a template like
Template template = getTemplate("PathToTemplate/myTemplate.ftl");
I need this, because user specifies the complete path to ftl files. So,first i have to separate directory name and file name, then i am doing
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
int indexOfLast = templatePath.lastIndexOf("\\");
String dir = templatePath;
String fileName="";
if(indexOfLast>=0){
dir = templatePath.substring(0,indexOfLast);
fileName= templatePath.substring(indexOfLast+1,templatePath.length());
}
cfg.setDirectoryForTemplateLoading(new File(dir));
Template template = cfg.getTemplate(fileName);
I do not want to do all this.
A: The getTemplate method is heavily overloaded. As per the documentation the method getTemplate(String, Locale, String, boolean) will eventually be called regardless which getTemplate method you called.
This method's documentation expresses the following:
The exact syntax of the name is interpreted by the underlying TemplateLoader, but the cache makes some assumptions. First, the name is expected to be a hierarchical path, with path components separated by a slash character (not with backslash!). The path (the name) given here must not begin with slash; it's always interpreted relative to the "template root directory".
There are two notable things:
*
*The name parameter is already handling a hierarchical path, but must not begin with a slash. So maybe you could set the configuration's directory once to the root of your disk and then simply provide the full path (but without the leading slash).
*The documentation explains something about a TemplateLoader. So you can simply write an implementation of that interface for loading the template. In that implementation you have full hands on the provided name.
A: Templates can be created by directly calling a Template constructor, to which you pass a String or Reader as argument. Then of course you get that Reader or String from wherever you want. This approach has two disadvantages though:
*
*Other templates won't be able to #import or #include those templates, as FreeMarker doesn't know how to load them (only you do)
*Caching those templates (if that's needed anyway) is up to you
If the above two is a problem for you, then see Seelenvirtuose's answer: create a TemplateLoader that interprets the template names as full paths.
As of your example code, know that the Configuration instance will clear its template cache every time you replace the TemplateLoader. Also note that it's not thread-safe to do.

BkiUdSDxaKgT2YGEmz3K | NAVASSA – Residents here are hoping to turn an old wood treatment plant site into one that will honor the townspeople's heritage, bring in jobs and boost the local tax base.
After months of discussions and meetings, residents, with the guidance of federal and state officials, have drafted four redevelopment concepts for the 245-acre former Kerr-McGee Chemical Corp. treatment plant.
Though each concept is slightly different, they include common themes.
Residents who attended a quarterly meeting hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, Tuesday night were urged to stay open-minded about the concepts.
EPA remedial project manager Erik Spalvins explained that market conditions may change over the time it will take to get some portions of the land ready for reuse. By that time, the community's priorities may change, he said.
"Don't be too fixated and think these are set in stone," Spalvins said.
As residents have been hammering out prospective plans for the site, federal and state officials continue to investigate the extent of creosote contamination in the soil, in the marsh and in the groundwater of this Brunswick County town.
The wood treatment plant was in operation for nearly four decades, during which time the facility exchanged the hands of a number of companies. The plant operated from 1936 through 1974.
The severity of contamination on and around the site wasn't discovered until the early 2000s when creosote was found in a swamp by a bridge construction crew.
The site was added to the National Priorities List of federal Superfund sites in 2010.
The Multistate Trust was created in 2011 as a result of the settlement to oversee the cleanup and help develop plans for future use for the property.
Results of the EPA's remedial investigation reveal that the highest levels of contamination appear to be in the area where wood logs were coated in creosote and stored to dry and in unlined ponds.
The EPA's proposed plan is to divide the site into pieces: 50 acres where the wood was stored; 50 acres where the chemical was process and stored in ponds; 30-40 acres of marsh; and 100 acres that is likely free of contaminants.
Officials can then focus on the areas where there is contamination and determine they most effective way to clean and reuse each piece of the site, he said.
Samples routinely taken from dozens of monitoring wells throughout the town are helping officials track a plume of contamination in the groundwater.
So far, the plume has remained in relatively the same area.
Officials are initiating a pilot study to determine which methods will work best to handle creosote contamination in a small area – about 1 to 3 acres – of the marsh.
The revelation that the land, marsh and groundwater have some contamination has consistently raised health concerns from residents who want to know whether eating animals, such as deer, fish and squirrel, they harvest from the land and nearby waters could make them sick.
"It's extremely low risk," Elliott said, explaining that the chemical doesn't bio-accumulate in animals and therefore would not transfer through human consumption.
EPA officials are proposing to dig a series of about 10 trenches within the old wood-treatment area to check for "any surprises" of creosote contamination, Elliott said.
The trenches will about 4 feet deep and anywhere from 150 feet to 300 feet long.
"We have a long way to go before this site's fully developed," Elliott said.
The EPA is expected to publish in January 2019 a record of decision documenting the cleanup plan and detailing how the land may be used. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Judge pauses BuzzFeed France shutdown
June 27, 2018 | By Max Willens
BuzzFeed's effort to close its French edition was stymied Wednesday by a French judge's ruling saying the U.S. publisher had not provided enough information to demonstrate it had cause to shut BuzzFeed France down, according to staffers.
BuzzFeed is required to turn over additional documents to create a clearer picture of BuzzFeed France's finances, including an audit of BuzzFeed France's finances by its corporate parent in 2017, said a source familiar with the matter.
In a statement, BuzzFeed said it "will comply with today's ruling and provide the court with additional information, which we believe will further validate our decision to reevaluate our current operations in France. We remain firm in our intent and committed to providing our employees with the support they need throughout this process."
BuzzFeed has 10 days to provide those documents, and will incur fines if it fails to produce them on time. Once the documents have been turned over to French authorities, the review process will start from the beginning.
In the meantime, BuzzFeed France's employees, who vowed to strike on Monday, have gone back to work, said the source familiar with the matter.
Since its founding in 2013, BuzzFeed France has not had its own sales staff, instead relying on its U.K. sales operation. It made $80,000 in profit in 2017 after operating in the red in 2016, according to reports.
At the beginning of June, BuzzFeed announced internally its plans to reorganize itself at home and abroad as it shifts its focus more toward programmatic advertising and away from announcing 45 new job listings as well as about 20 layoffs. The venture-backed publisher reportedly missed its revenue targets in 2017.
Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said BuzzFeed has to turn over a seven-figure contract between BuzzFeed France and BuzzFeed UK.

Memorable moments from Paisley Park
Published: 01:27 EST, 29 September 2014 | Updated: 01:27 EST, 29 September 2014
What we learned during a seven-hour odyssey at Paisley Park:
— Prince is a mean pingpong player: A pingpong table is the centerpiece of the rehearsal space outside of the studio at Paisley Park, and it gets plenty of use. Prince shows he's pretty deft player — he hits from wild angles, and it's a wild sight, his white shoes with acrylic heels lighting up blue with every move. Alas, he loses his game by a few points.
— Prince goes to YouTube for music too: Some Prince fans who want to go to YouTube to pull up their favorite track or performance have long complained that Prince is overly aggressive in removing that music on copyright infringement grounds. So they might be surprised that he uses it to look up music and old performances of others. When the point is underscored as he watches an old James Brown estate, he says: "James Brown has an estate — so do I," then adds: "People need to stop tripping."
— He's still a Jehovah's Witness: Introduced to the religion by musician Larry Graham, Prince made sure to note that he's still follows the doctrine, but adds that he student of the world, and notes that he's been spending time reading, particularly African history.
— Yes, he thought Michael Jackson was pretty awesome too: Though the two were often pitted against each other in the media during the heights of their respective careers, he has utmost respect for the late legend. During one conversation, he marvels at the brilliance of then 10-year-old Jackson's vocals on classics like "Who's Loving You" and "I Want You Back," and while watching an old James Brown clip, he notes that both he and Jackson were watching Brown as children: "Michael got the dance, I got the music."
— He is an unfailingly polite host: During our visit, he gets concerned about whether we've eaten and an assistant picks up a soup at Houlihan's. Once it arrives, it won't do to eat it with disposable plastic utensils; he takes us to the kitchen area (bigger than most New York City apartments) and hands us proper silverware, and then, afterward, throws away the mess.
— You have to wow Prince to musically impress him: While it's not without fun, it's serious business: "The level of expectation is incredibly high; it's always to play something perfectly and with a . wicked feel," says 3RDEYEGIRL guitarist Donna Grantis.
— He's a fan of today's talent: While he dismisses some of today's music - don't expect a collaboration with artists Katy Perry and Iggy Azalea — that doesn't mean there aren't contemporary artists who wow him. He raved about Luke James voice; was mesmerized by FKA Twigs; talked about the potential of Rita Ora (who recorded at Paisley Park).
— He likes candles: In almost every room, candles are burning.
— Prince is still cooler than you: He's the only person who can pull off wearing a shirt with his image — and look epic doing it.

'I am genuinely shocked and disgusted': Robert Pattinson's new girlfriend FKA twigs finds herself target of racist abuse on Twitter
By Helen Zhao for MailOnline
She has been thrust into the spotlight thanks to her rumoured relationship with A-list actor and Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson.
But since FKA twigs - real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett - went public holding hands with the actor last week, the singer has found herself to be the target of racist abuse on Twitter.
The 26-year-old singer tweeted on Sunday: 'I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week.'
Bigotry: FKA twigs, pictured in London on September 10, has found herself the target of racist Twitter comments after it's been revealed she is dating Robert Pattinson
This was followed by: 'Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it's unacceptable online.'
Tahliah has a father who is Jamaican and a mother who is of both English and Spanish descent.
Numerous Twitter users have spewed hateful comments, as captured by Jezebel.
One user, @hxzscurls, wrote: 'you're like a monkey, really i can't believe that rob kissed you.'
Another user, @Angeelicacsp, wrote: 'I can't believe I have changed robert Goddess Kristen for this monkey.'
Heating up! A week ago, the 26-year-old singer and 28-year-old actor were pictured holding hands at Venice Beach, Los Angeles
Lovey dovey: On Monday, twigs and Robert were spotted on a romantic drive through Hollywood, as they cosied up to one another
The British singer is no stranger to racist comments, having experienced it in her childhood while attending a Catholic school as the only mixed-race girl.
'People said horrible things about something I had no control of, which was tough. But that's okay. Life isn't supposed to be easy, is it?' she told British magazine Dazed & Confused.
'I never really saw anything wrong with how I looked, it was more that certain people pointed things out to you about yourself.
'Either your hair's different, or the colour of your skin, or your features. Half of my life I've had people staring at me because they think I'm funny-looking and ugly.'
FKA Twigs perfecting her choreography in the studio
Sparking romance rumours: Robert and twigs were seen out and about together in New York on August 27
Congrats! Meanwhile, she's been nominated for Best Newcomer, Best Female Act alongside the likes of Jessie J and Rita Ora, and Best Video at the MOBO Awards
However, twigs manages to put things in perspective.
'The other half of my life I've had people staring at me because they think I'm fascinating,' she said. 'Everything neutralises. It's more of a statement on society and how weird it is.'
Meanwhile, she certainly seems to be enjoying her new romance.
On Monday, twigs and Robert, 28, were spotted on a romantic drive through Hollywood, as they cosied up to one another.
She leaned into his shoulder as he appeared to be kissing her forehead.
Is that really necessary? Twitter users have compared twigs to Robert's ex-girlfriend, Kristen Stewart - pictured at the British premiere of Twilight in 2008
And the outing came just after they were pictured holding hands at Venice Beach, Los Angeles the day before, on Sunday.
Meanwhile, twigs can celebrate her musical success, as she is up for three gongs at the MOBO Awards – honouring music in genres ranging from gospel to jazz, RnB, soul, re e, and hip hop.
She's been nominated for Best Newcomer, Best Female Act alongside the likes of Jessie J and Rita Ora, and Best Video.
Also nominated are Beyonce, Chris Brown, Drake, Iggy Azalea, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Pharrell, and Trey Songz in the category of Best International Act.

Waddington's Presents the SNAP Photography Auction in Support of ACT (AIDS Committee of Toronto)
The auction will be offered online October 3 – 8.
SNAP 2019 Photo Competition Winner
Leah den Bok, DUFFY
The annual SNAP Gala and Photography Auction is a glamorous affair, held at the Art Deco-inflected Arcadian Court in downtown Toronto. Art collectors mingle, the wine flows, and the dancing continues late into the night—that is, it did before COVID-19. In light of the new circumstances, ACT (AIDS Committee of Toronto) had to re-imagine their important fundraising event and reached out to Waddington's to help.
As a result, Waddington's is proud to present the SNAP Photography Online Auction on behalf of ACT. The auction represents the winners and jury selections from the annual Photo Competition, including contemporary, lens-based works selected from among hundreds of entries by a blind jury of talented professionals.
All proceeds from this auction go directly to ACT (AIDS Committee of Toronto).
Meet the Competition Winners:
Fine Art Print Baryta, white mat
Official SNAP label on reverse;
11.25 ins x 14 ins; 28.6 cms x 35.6 cms
Leah is a 19-year-old photography student at Sheridan College. For the past four years she has been traveling, with her dad, to cities throughout the world photographing the homeless and recording their stories. She is the author of the book series Nowhere to Call Home.
Artist Statement: I spotted Duffy as I was driving in Hamilton in 2018. It took me 15 minutes to park. Fortunately, Duffy was still there when I went looking for him. He told us, "I've been on my own since four." His friend told us, "He'd give you the shirt off his back."
SNAP 2019 Photo Competition Rising Star Award of Merit
Theodora Mitrakos, OYSTER MUSHROOMS
Fine Art Print Baryta, Backmount Sintra
10 ins x 6 ins; 25.4 cms x 15.2 cms
Theodora Mitrakos is a conceptual photographer and artist based in Toronto, Canada. She likes good music, good books, and her dog, Stella (who is often an unwilling model). Her work has been featured in Applied Arts Magazine and PhotoEd, among others.
Artist Statement: Oyster Mushroom is inspired by the evocative still life work of Ed Weston, and was created in homage to his work.
SNAP 2019 Photo Competition Award of Merit Recipient
Alexander Alter, MAIL PORTRAIT, STUDY
Ultra Smooth Inkjet Print, Backmount Sintra
14 5/16 ins x 24 ins; 36870.6 cms x 61 cms
Alexander is originally from Toronto, Canada, now living between Toronto and Milan, Italy. Alexander graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in both Design and Printmaking. He continued his education in the U.S. and received an MFA in Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Alexander had a career in design for 24 years with clients that included Alfred Sung, C Magazine and Saturday Night.
Artist Statement: I recently had seen a Futurist Photo exhibition and been impressed by the play on focus in either moving the camera or subject. I found their approach to using the camera was more playful and emotional than technically; this always gets me thinking about how I might employ new perspectives to approach my art. Mail Portrait: Study, takes advantage of multiple images to imply movement, as well as portray the various facets of a persona, which is never two-dimensional.
All proceeds from this auction go directly to the AIDS Committee of Toronto.
This auction will be offered online from October 3 – 8.
In-person previews of the works are not available. Please view the gallery online here.
The auction is offered under special Terms & Conditions that differ from Waddington's regular Terms & Conditions. Please review here.
New to Waddington's auctions? You must register to bid. Please register here.
For more information about the works in the auction please contact Matt O'Donnell, Special Events Coordinator for ACT, at modonnell@actoronto.org.
Proceeds from this auction will support the free programs and services offered at ACT, Canada's largest HIV and AIDS service organization. ACT was founded in 1983 by a group of community volunteers with the mission to end AIDS in Toronto through sexual health education, prevention and outreach. ACT works towards a city with zero new HIV infections, zero HIV-related stigma and discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths while promoting the independence, dignity, health and well-being of those living with HIV and AIDS and those at increased risk of HIV.

BkiUdU7xaKgTzPE-TfzF | Blog Post: We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thang - Gordon Lightfoot Book, Music and More!
The march by Nazis, white supremacists, Ku Klux Klansmen and garden-variety racists in Charlottesville, Virginia last Saturday and the resulting violence that left one counter-protester dead is a deeply disturbing sign of just how much fascists in America have felt empowered by Donald Trump.
By not clearly condemning white supremacists and other hate groups immediately after the altercations, Trump has shown his true political stripes. He knows that the so-called alt-right and KKK leader David Duke are among his most vociferous supporters. And the U.S. president's own father was arrested at a 1927 KKK rally in New York "on a charge of refusing to disperse from a parade when ordered to do so," according to a story in the Washington Post.
Fascism rearing its ugly head again reminds me of the time in the fall of 1980 when the Canadian chapter of the KKK showed up on Toronto high school campuses, trying to find new recruits and issuing cards that blamed "blacks and minorities" for a wide variety of social ills.
Some friends and I thought that the KKK's brazen presence in our city demanded a response, so we formed Rock Against Racism. Modelled after the U.K. campaign that aimed to discourage young people from embracing racism by featuring pop, rock, punk and reggae musicians in concerts with an anti-racist theme, our Toronto R.A.R. chapter quickly sprang into action.
We want rebel music. Street music.
Music that breaks down people's fear of one another.
Music that knows who the real enemy is.
"Less Than Zero," Elvis Costello's first single on Stiff Records in 1977, expressed his anger after seeing former British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley interviewed on TV and trying to deny his racist past.
London dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson issued an equally trenchant response to the rise of England's National Front with "Fite Dem Back," a track on his 1979 album Forces of Victory.
Written in Jamaican patois, Johnson's lyrics serve as a call to mobilize against fascist attacks.
Two-tone ska band the English Beat's 1980 song "Two Swords" expressed a dislike of violence between racists and anti-racists, but made no secret in the lyrics of the group's abhorrence of Nazis.
England's synth-pop band Heaven 17 didn't mince words in its denunciations of racism and fascism with its single "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang." Although the BBC banned it over concerns that it slandered U.S. president Ronald Reagan, the song became a hit in 1981. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUfoE5qhDCuB568GYn | Holiday Recovery Guide: Ease Into 2016!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope 2016 is already feeling bright and beautiful!
Today we're welcoming back Allie White, Transformational Holistic Health Coach and all-around wealth of knowledge in all things healthy and happy. Her mantra is clear: Helping fun-loving women experience a whole new level of energy, beauty, and confidence so they can create the body and life they love with ease.
If you're feeling sluggish from the holiday's remember this - don't beat yourself up!
The holiday season is about celebrating with friends and family and enjoying each moment. It's ok to eat Christmas treats, more potatoes and gravy than you planned, or a little extra booze. Focus on all the connection, joy, and love you experienced, instead of what you "should" have done better.
If you gained a few pounds, feel sluggish, or you're not looking as glowing and vibrant as you'd like that's ok too. Let it go!
You are enough, you are worthy, just as you are.
Eating certain foods doesn't make you a "bad" or "good" person. You can't expect to live on a strict diet your entire life. As women, our bodies fluctuate throughout the month and that's totally normal. No need to panic!
Sleep: Get to bed early and let your body do what it does best - repair, rejuvenate, and heal. If you get to bed between 10-11pm you're more likely to wake up feeling refreshed. A good night's sleep makes everything easier! When you awake feeling good it's much easier to reach for healthy meals all day long.
Do not eat for 14 hours between dinner and breakfast: Fasting overnight is one of the best things you can do to help your body heal after consuming excess amounts of alcohol, sugar, and processed food. By fasting overnight you're giving your body a chance to heal (read tip #1) instead of working hard to digest. When you're digesting, you're not healing. This mean more sluggishness, under eye bags, weight gain, bloating, etc.
Drink enormous amounts of water: Every cell in your body and the majority of your blood is composed of water. Therefore, you absolutely need water to function properly. Most of us are dehydrated and we don't even know it. On top of that, alcohol and crappy food encourage dehydration. Drinking water encourages the transport of nutrients through the body, cellular healing, removal of toxins, metabolic function, and all bodily processes. Staying hydrated also helps prevent headaches, constipation, cravings, and binge-eating.
Green smoothie for breakfast: After fasting through the night, drink a delicious green smoothie! Smoothies are filled with tons of nutrients that your body is begging for. Plus, it's already pre-digested, which means you're body will be able to continue repairing and healing instead of focusing on digestion.
Green powder (bonus points!): For a boost of nutrients, immunity and detoxification, add green powder to your smoothie. You can also mix a scoop in water during the afternoon "3pm slump" for a quick boost of energy. My favourite brands are "Athletic Green" found here (this one tastes delicious!), "Green Vibrance" found here, "Vitamineral Green" found here, and "Tripow" a mix of spirulina and chlorella found locally at the Strathcona Farmer's Market or online here.
Salad and/or soup for lunch and dinner: The point here is to eat light meals for lunch and dinner. Eat until you're satisfied, there's no starving here, but keep it simple and easily digestible. At the same time make sure to eliminate all processed food including sugar, dairy, and gluten.
No snacks: This tips plays off #6. If you're always snacking or grazing, your body is always digesting, which means it's NOT healing. Stick to three daily meals if you can.
Sweat: Yoga or a hot epsom salt bath should do the trick! There's no need to do an intense workout here. Working out too hard in this condition can actually have the opposite effect. Keep it gentle or have a bath. If you choose the bath (good choice!), scrub your skin vigorously when you're done then rinse off. This will help open your pores and dispel toxins.
There you have it! Eight simple tips to recover (heal and detox) from the holidays. Use these tips anytime you drink too much alcohol or consume too much sugar/junk/processed food and you'll be flying!
These tips are a staple in my life - anytime I feel like I'm not in peak health I go through these 8 tips for a couple days until I feel like superwoman.
I hope you find the relief you're looking for here. One day of this routine might do the trick, or you might want a full week of restoration. Listen to what your body needs.

BkiUdtk25V5jC8VS7hMJ | Uriel Álvarez Rivera (ur. 1 maja 1990 w Acapulco) – meksykański piłkarz występujący na pozycji prawego obrońcy, obecnie zawodnik Chiapas.
Kariera klubowa
Álvarez jest wychowankiem zespołu Club Santos Laguna z siedzibą w mieście Torreón, do którego seniorskiej drużyny został włączony jako dziewiętnastolatek przez szkoleniowca Sergio Bueno. W meksykańskiej Primera División zadebiutował 16 sierpnia 2009 w wygranym 3:2 spotkaniu z Cruz Azul, zaś premierowego gola w najwyższej klasie rozgrywkowej strzelił 27 lutego 2010 w zremisowanym 1:1 meczu z Querétaro. W tym samym sezonie, Bicentenario 2010, zdobył ze swoją drużyną tytuł wicemistrza Meksyku. Sukces ten powtórzył również pół roku później, podczas jesiennych rozgrywek Apertura 2010. Początkowo często pojawiał się na boiskach w wyjściowej jedenastce, lecz później stracił pewne miejsce w składzie i w połowie 2011 roku udał się na sześciomiesięczne wypożyczenie do Puebla FC, gdzie jednak nie wystąpił w żadnym spotkaniu. W styczniu 2012 wypożyczono go po raz kolejny, tym razem do drugoligowego Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz, w którego barwach również występował przez pół roku bez większych sukcesów.
Latem 2012 Álvarez został ściągnięty na wypożyczenie do ekipy Monarcas Morelia przez Rubéna Omara Romano, swojego byłego trenera z Santos Laguny. Tam występował przez kolejny rok, pełniąc rolę podstawowego zawodnika zespołu, lecz nie odniósł z nim poważniejszych osiągnięć. W lipcu 2013, również na zasadzie wypożyczenia, zasilił drużynę Chiapas FC z siedzibą w mieście Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

BkiUaP7xK0-nUh8iHDwK | Hurry up and wait. That would appear to be the message traders at the CME are sending ahead of the December USDA supply/demand estimate. Granted, if I suggest the USDA will not make many if any changes of note, they will probably deliver a real shocker but normally, the December report is a non-event. Regardless, here are some trade estimates; Domestic corn ending stock at 1.744 billion bushels, compared with the previous estimate of 1.736. Bean ending stocks at 940 million versus 955 in November and wheat at 965 million instead of 949. The average guess for the upcoming South American crops has Argentine corn at 42.5 MMT and bean at 55.7. Brazilian corn is projected to tally 94.8 MMT and beans 121.1. Finally, for global ending stocks, the average estimates for corn are at 307.9 MMT (307.5), beans 113.2 MMT (112.1) and wheat at 266.5 MMT (266.7). Do note that Conab already released updated estimated and have beans projected at 120.07 MMT and a corn crop of 91.1 MMT. Unless we venture significantly from these estimates, I would expect markets to quickly look forward for another news story and for some, a Christmas/New Year break.
Of course, there is the one caveat that seems to be always with us; China news. As I reported yesterday, there are still rumors that the government may step up and purchase beans for the strategic reserve but no confirmation of that happening just yet. China did release estimates that corn usage is set to increase this year by 5 MMT compared with their previous estimate due to increased feed usage. While this might strike you as odd considering all the issues with African Swine Fever and the talk of reduced meal usage, but they stated this would be driven by lower sorghum imports from the U.S. and fewer barley imports from Australia. Do note as well that the Chinese National Renewable Energy Center said the country intends to increase ethanol capacity by 6.6 MMT this year and will see capacity triple by 2020.
With the exception of a higher U.S. dollar, macros are generally supportive with metals and energies both gaining ground. Crude oil has not really come very far from the recent lows, but weekly indicators are now reaching into the oversold zone, and I would expect to see the Brent market form a low in this $57/$60 zone between now and the end of the year. For those considering locking in fuel needs for the spring, this could be your opportunity. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdZs4ukPiEUQBmDcS | Fair to Muslims?
By: Akbar Ahmed
Many American Muslims are fearful and angry about the Congressional hearings on Islamic radicalism that will start Thursday, with some arguing that they are a mere provocation meant to incite bigotry. But as a scholar, I view the hearings, to be led by Representative Peter T. King, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, as an opportunity to educate Americans about our community's diversity and faith.
The topic is urgent, and the hearings overdue. It is undeniable that the phenomenon of homegrown terrorists appears to be increasing in frequency. A successful attack would set back relations between Muslims and non-Muslims for many years. The backlash would effectively sweep away the slow but steady progress in interfaith dialogue that has been achieved since 9/11.
Muslim leaders must acknowledge that many Americans are fearful of religiously motivated terrorism. Simply to protest the hearings and call for them to be canceled, as some have done, strikes many non-Muslims as uncooperative, or as intended to conceal dark secrets or un-American behavior.
Instead, Muslims should embrace the chance to explain their beliefs fully and clearly. We have nothing to hide. But members of Congress also need to act responsibly. They should avoid broad accusations, and be aware that the hearings will be closely followed worldwide. The actions of both groups will shape America's relationship with Islam, and the relationship of American Muslims with their country.
To better understand the Muslim community and its attitudes toward American identity, I spent much of 2008 and 2009 traveling the United States. My research assistants and I visited 75 communities, from Dearborn, Mich., to Arab, Ala., and 100 mosques around the country. We conducted hundreds of interviews, and compiled some 2,000 responses to a long questionnaire.
We discovered that well before the debate last year over a proposed Islamic center in Lower Manhattan, American Muslims felt under siege. We heard heartbreaking stories: schoolchildren assaulted as "terrorists," women wearing the hijab attacked, and mosques vandalized and firebombed.
Adding to their sense of being unfairly singled out were commentators in the news media talking as if it were open season on Muslims. Bill O'Reilly compared the Koran to Hitler's "Mein Kampf," and Tom Tancredo, a Republican who was then a congressman from Colorado, said the United States could respond to a future terrorist attack by bombing Mecca.
But I also saw much to encourage me during my travels. Muslims told me in the privacy of their homes that this country was "the best place in the world to be Muslim." A Nigerian in Houston said he placed Thomas Jefferson "at the top of my heart." The bearded leader of a major Muslim organization called Jefferson, a defender of religious freedom, a role model.
In Paterson, N.J., an elderly woman from Cairo who got an education in America after her Egyptian husband deserted her told us, "America saved my life." In the only mosque in the small city of Gadsden, Ala., we met a Muslim man who had lived in the area for decades and married a Christian woman. In a distinctively Southern accent, he summed up his identity as "Muslim by birth, Southern by the grace of God."
The Muslim community in America is not a monolith. Very broadly, it comprises three groups: African-Americans (many of them converts), immigrants (largely from the Middle East and South Asia) and white converts. And Muslims from every part of the world study and work in the United States.
Yet the diversity of the Muslim community is frequently obscured by ignorance and mistrust. We were often asked by non-Muslims whether Muslims could be "good" Americans. The frequency with which this question was asked indicated the doubts that many harbored. Too many Americans acknowledged that they knew virtually nothing about Islam and said they had never met a Muslim.
Representative King, the New York Republican who has called the hearings, has raised the issue of Muslim cooperation with law enforcement agencies. On our journey, especially in mosques, we confronted an underlying unease and suspicion toward these agencies. Frequently, even while we were being welcomed and honored, people would ask us with a nervous laugh whether we were working for the F.B.I. The community complained that crude attempts by the agencies to "study" them were both insulting and ineffective. They believed that thinly disguised informants who claimed to be converting to Islam were acting as provocateurs.
In a Texas mosque dominated by the Salafi school of thought — widely equated with religious fundamentalism — the congregants condemned terrorism. They complained that the agencies had used clumsy infiltrators instead of simply talking to congregants. "Homeland Security and F.B.I. put us under surveillance, asking people, 'Where are the terrorists?'" one interviewee, a Salafi who professed nonviolence, told us. "We know exactly where they are!"
At times, we did see evidence of the kind of extremist beliefs the hearing is intended to scrutinize. In one of the first mosques we visited in the Midwest, after I gave a talk advocating interfaith dialogue, I was accosted by members of the congregation who vehemently disagreed and dismissed my fieldwork because I had "white kids" with me. Later we learned that these men had threatened and assaulted other congregants who did not agree with them.
In our review of cases involving radicalized American Muslims, we learned that many homegrown terrorists said their actions were grounded in American foreign policy, particularly when it resulted in the deaths of women and children, rather than in their interpretations of Koranic precepts. In public statements, they expressed anger about American military and intelligence intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries. For example, Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani immigrant who confessed to the attempted car bombing in Times Square last May, was motivated by a desire to avenge drone strikes in his native province.
If a civil, respectful level of discussion and debate is not maintained in these hearings, and if a demonization of Muslims results, the news coverage in the Muslim world could feed into the high levels of anti-Americanism in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan. This would play against the interests of American diplomats and troops in Muslim nations who have advocated the winning of Muslim hearts and minds.
To better inform the public debate, Representative King should invite religious and social leaders who have credibility in their communities. Equally important, he should include scholars who could present empirical findings and analysis with neutrality and integrity. Unfortunately, some of the names who have been associated with the hearings so far have neither research nor credibility to support them.
At the same time, Muslims must realize that to be truly accepted as "good" Americans, they need to more explicitly embrace American identity, culture and history — from political debates like Representative King's hearing to the ideals of this country's founders.
America, in turn, must realize its best aspirations by better understanding Islam. No appreciation of the founders is complete without an acknowledgment of their truly pluralist vision.

BkiUdJU5qhLA5_F8j1Tt | Brainstorm. Start gathering your destination ideas. Look for inspiration from magazines, websites, word of mouth…or perhaps you have a "bucket list" which includes some dream vacations. I keep an ongoing mental list that I add to all the time. Don't worry about time, money, or any other constraints. At this point, your list doesn't need to be logical or realistic, you are simply gathering ideas. Allow yourself to dream…and now, write them down.
Do you need time to just chill and relax?
Is this a romantic vacation? Family vacation?
Will you need to take work or studies along with you?
Do you want to attend a particular event (conference, workshop, training, family function…)?
What is my comfort level?
Do I feel safe traveling by myself? (You can read about the benefits of solo travel here).
Am I prepared to organize, prepare, and travel by myself, or do I prefer to travel with one other person, or several others?
If you determine that you would prefer to travel with others, you will need to put out some feelers to identify those who have similar time (and/or money), and are interested in traveling with you. Talk to others about possibly planning a trip. If you determine that you would prefer to travel with others, but don't have others to travel with, consider if you would be comfortable joining a group or tour package.
How much time can I comfortably devote to my next travel experience?
Do I need to request this time off from work in advance?
How long can I be away from my job?
When I am away, will I be losing time or money?
Do I have other activities that I need to put on hold while away?
How many trips do I want to take this year?
Once you know how much time you have, you will be able to begin culling your destination list. Some destinations will be obviously out of your time scope. Others may be more difficult to determine, which brings me to step number 5.
Begin your itinerary by listing the number of days that you are prepared to travel (ie. Day 1 – Sunday, June 22, 2014; Day 2 – Monday, June 23, 2014…). You will immediately be able to visually prepare for each possible travel day.
Research your mode of transportation. What is the best (ie. most cost savvy, convenient, time efficient) way for you to get to your location? Consider all options – flights (how to find affordable flights), trains, boats, buses, personal or rental vehicles, bicycle or foot travel…note the cost and time that it would take for you to use any of these modes of transportation. Keep in mind your own comfort level, as well as those you are traveling with. I once mapped out what I thought was a perfect itinerary, only to find that my ex-boyfriend was not comfortable taking red-eye flights.
Thoroughly research the sights, activities, and events that are occurring in each destination. (I will be breaking this down in subsequent blog posts). Note which ones you are interested in, and decide how much time and money it would take to complete any of these. Create a tentative "daily schedule" to see how much time you need to spend on each. Consider the time it takes to get to and from an area, and if you could do these things by yourself or would need to hire a guide or join a group. Remember to factor in time and costs for renting any special equipment (eg. guides, surfboards, yoga mats, diving equipment, boats, etc…). Keep your options open.
Look for possible accommodations. Consider if you are traveling during high or peak seasons, and if accommodation will be difficult to secure. Here's my guide on finding affordable accommodations.
Keep a running tally of both required and optional costs for each day of your tentative itinerary.
Which of these itineraries appeals to me the most? Are there enough activities to interest each of the travelers?
Am I prepared to save/budget/spend the approximate amount that each itinerary amounts to? Remember that the costs you researched are only estimates. You will need to also factor in real costs such as food, accommodation, gas/mileage, childcare, and any additional purchases. You may also have unexpected costs such as mechanical, or other repairs.
Do you have time to obtain any letters of invitation, visas, or immunizations that are required by the destinations you are considering?
Do you have time to organize tours for yourself or will you need to hire others to help you?
Is safety a concern? What is going on in the area during the time you wish to visit? Are there any applicable travel advisories?
The most important things to remember when choosing a travel destination, is to do your research, follow your interests, consider your comfort level, and remain flexible. The best travel experiences are just that – experiences. Start creating your next one now!

Building Together (If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy), an artist residency featuring Zach Springer's Build Something Together project, invites participants to take advantage of Zach's skills as a handy man in order to learn how to build something. Projects range from building bookshelves, end tables, chairs, audio speakers, a dancing rubber band machine, making a 5 year plan, dress patterns, a bicycle, a quilt, learning to screen print quilt, and website design. The goal of Building Together is to not only build an object, but to also be able to share the new skills that you've learned with others. It's about choosing to learn something that you don't know how to do, but would like to know how to do. It's also about building a community of people through a shared interest in learning and building things together.

BkiUczo4uzlhcODLci8_ | Barcelona 'cannot afford' to lose Vidal in January, says Blaugrana president Bartomeu
Barcelona "cannot afford" to let unsettled midfielder Arturo Vidal leave the club in January, according to president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Vidal has started just four of Barca's 20 matches this season and last month vowed to quit the Spanish champions next year if he is not made to "feel important".
Barca boss Ernesto Valverde has opened the door for the Chile international to find a new team, with Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta recently hinting his side are interested.
However, Bartomeu is expecting Vidal - a reported €18million signing from Bayern Munich in August 2018 - to remain at Camp Nou until at least the end of the season.
"No movement is expected in January," he told La Repubblica. "We have a balanced squad - we don't lack anything, but we also cannot afford to lose someone.
"Several times before a player has showed a willingness to leave, but never in January. In some cases we have let them go, on other occasions we have convinced them to stay."
Barcelona travel to Inter in the Champions League on Tuesday with top spot already assured in Group F, while the Italians need to match Borussia Dortmund's result against Slavia Prague.
Lautaro Martinez has been in fine form for the Serie A leaders this season, leading to reports he is on Barca's radar, but Bartomeu was unwilling to comment on the speculation.
"This is a trap question," he said. "What I can say is that Inter are playing very well and he is not the only player who has impressed me. It is no coincidence that Inter are top of Serie A."

BkiUdoQ4c3aisMlrG8Fw | SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – With the start of the school year right around the corner, both undergraduate and graduate students will return to their stress-filled college lives, which will likely include determining how to afford tuition. Tax laws can actually work in students' favor, as long as they know what tax credits and deductions are available and which can yield the most in savings.
It is important to understand the primary difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction. A tax credit reduces the amount of income tax owed, while a tax deduction reduces the amount of income that is subject to tax.
Available education credits include the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. To qualify for these credits, a student, dependent or third party must pay the education expenses, the student must be enrolled at an eligible educational institution, and be listed on the tax return. Only one credit can be claimed for the same student in one year, and the AOTC cannot be claimed if the student was a nonresident alien for a long part of the year.
Qualified education expenses can also be deducted for a student, spouse or dependent. The Tuition and fees deduction can reduce the amount of income subject to tax by up to $4,000. Education credits for expenses can also be deducted if eligible students pay qualified education expenses of higher education and the student is either yourself, your spouse, or your dependent for whom you claim an exemption on your tax return.
The Tuition and Fees Deduction cannot be claimed if the filing status is "Married, filing separate," another person can claim the student as a dependent, the modified adjusted gross income is more than $80,000 (or $160,000 if filing a joint return), or the student was a nonresident alien for any part of the year and did not elect to be treated as a resident alien.
Student-activity fees and expenses for course-related books, supplies and equipment are included in qualified education expenses if the fees and expenses must be paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance.
Scholarships are taxable or tax-free depending on the expense paid, and whether the student is a degree candidate and uses the scholarship to pay qualified expenses. Qualified education expenses include tuition and fees required to enroll at or attend an eligible educational institution and course-related expenses. Expenses that don't qualify include room and board, travel, research, clerical help and equipment other expenses that are not required for enrollment in or attendance.

New York born-and-raised artist, Greg "Bettie$" Betty, opens his first art exhibition, Appetite, at Foley Gallery. The 21 year-old artist is currently a student at CCNY in Harlem, New York studying Digital Design working towards a career in graphic design and other creative artistic endeavors.
Bettie$ says he gained inspiration for his pieces from the great Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama and his famous robotic pin-up women artworks. Why the name 'appetite' you might ask? All of the art pieces in this one-day show are digitally altered and futuristically transformed images of vintage pornstars which makes the theme of the exhibit distastefully tasteful, forcing the viewer crave for more. In his pieces, Bettie$ pairs everyday, universal feelings of depression, guilt, lust, greed, confusion, anger, etc. with the female body.
"Physically, sexually, mentally, and emotionally there are a lot of places on or within women that are mysterious to a lot of us men. I always wondered why everything we do, consciously or unconsciously, is to either impress, catch the attention of, or provide for women. That's why with all of these pieces I tried to give them a very galactic feeling, because like women, we might think we know a lot about the galaxy but we really don't know as much as we may think. They're our own universe."

BkiUfBbxK7Ehm4qs1fX2 | One of the major new capabilities for developers in Windows 10 version 1511 is the final release of Windows.UI.Composition. This was in preview in the 10240 SDK but has now reached full release in this new update.
Unleash your creativity and explore new possibilities to visually bring your application to life! Learn how to utilize new light-weight Visuals, Animations, Effects, and Manipulations to easily create smooth and highly scalable UI experiences spanning Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox. Whether you're a XAML or DX developer, learn how you can use the new family of Windows.UI.Composition APIs in your apps.
That comment/attitude explains a lot of my current frustration with Microsoft. We were sold on WPF and use it in a widely-distributed, commercial application. Well, let's just say we're NEVER bringing it to UWA due to being shoved aside as old tech with NO forward migration path. We MUST support users on Win7, Win8 and newer for MANY years. Yet MS includes this stuff only in the new OS. So enticing and so useless.
@smoyna: I feel your pain. In my opinion, sometimes in order to move forward with the new technology, Microsoft has to make a hard decision to break away from the old stuff that imposes limitation on the new platform going forward.
Why expression animation are declared using strings? why we have to loose all the intellisense? maybe it is easy to apply some custom code to fix this but why the API doesn't already accept c# expressions?
The XAML iterop example is horrible what are you talking about it's a perfect example? There is so much ipsum text that is unreadable because of the poor choices made please white text backgroung in some portions of the dog's image it made it impossible to read. Please don't explain how it is suppose to explain animation because that is just a lame excuse. A perfect example are you joking or what?
For us WPF old timers.. WPF/E with JS anyone, hehe..
It would be nice to see more expansive XAML integrations, we obviously see the potential but the message isn't as loud. Would love to see the level of engagement with developers back up to when you guys were pushing the Longhorn dream. So much hope was placed on WPF and natives apps that was never really broadly realized.. Didn't help that WPF was a bit of a pig but that's all changed now.. long live COM!!
Anyway, great job with the platform and API's. You guys need to be talking louder about this stuff. Where are all the firms designing hot apps with these API's.
Show us what's really possible here!!! Where's the eye candy!?! LOB, Retail, Manufacturing.. I don't care. Just show me the pretty stuff!
I'm sorry but this is poor material. I'm not saying that Windows.UI.Component is bad (I actually hope that it is great) but if it is this video doesn't show it. | c4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |

BkiUev84dbggz-0v0q3y | Stephen Davies: Fighting for Conservative values in Stroud
By Stephen Davies

Stuart Coster: Is Lib Dem election campaigning "essential activity"? A "reasonable excuse" for someone to leave home?
Jerome Mayhew: The carbon proposal that the Government should put at the heart of its plan for COP26
Starmer opposes Council Tax rises. But he won't say where the money would come from.
Will Holloway: The challenges awaiting Ministers and MPs as Parliament returns today
Cllr Stephen Davies is the Leader of the Conservative Group on Stroud District Council.
Stroud is a market town nestling on the edge of the Cotswolds surrounded by some of the most beautiful parts of the Gloucestershire countryside, but it has little in common with the more affluent and Conservative (usually) Cotswolds. It is the proud birthplace of Extinction Rebellion, which, at its inception cost the local council to clear up graffiti, probably with chemicals which are not good for the environment. There is a "Stroudie" community that are rightly proud of their alternative heritage. It has been a marginal seat for years, and marginally voted remain in the referendum.
Many of us probably wish that our electorate were more politically active, but I would warn you to be careful what you wish for. In Stroud, we see protests on a whole range of issues, ranging from an anti "Energy from Waste" facility campaign through to the resistance of the introduction of car parking charges, which I was proud to successfully lead. In 2017, we lost our staunchly Remain MP, Neil Carmichael, despite increasing his number of votes, because of blatant tactical voting by the Greens, resulting in the election of our current MP, David Drew, representing the more left wing elements of the Labour Party. Carmichael and Drew have faced off against each other for nearly 20 years, Drew winning 3-2.
Carmichael has now stood down to pursue other interests, including a brief period as a candidate in the Euro Elections for Change UK.
Last year, the Stroud Conservative Association selected Siobhan Baillie as our Prospective Parliamentary Candidate. She is bringing a fresh energy to the constituency, and has every chance of success. We are a hard working Association in this consistently marginal seat. Siobhan represents the exciting future of the Conservative Party, and we are determined to get her elected whenever the next General Election is.
The next challenge is the District Council Elections in May 2020, when the whole Council is up for re-election. We are the largest Party, and need only three seats to gain a majority. Looking at this year's elections, this would appear a tall order, but in a post Brexit environment, I believe this is possible. Our opponents, the Labour Party, will still have Jeremy Corbyn, who we know from knocking on doors is not popular in many parts of our District.
The opposition in Gloucestershire is often the Liberal Democrats, but not in Stroud. It is the Labour Party, and a flavour of the Labour Party that would do a north London borough proud. The more extreme nature is visible through endless motions of support for a myriad of causes that have no connection with Stroud, and a level of infighting and plain nastiness that could put you off local politics for life.
So what do we Stroud Conservatives stand for? We believe in all the usual Conservative principles, like value for money and efficiency. But we are also determined to ensure that Stroud District Council represents and supports the whole district, as well as the more vociferous "Stroudie" element. We also believe that issues like the environment matter, but disagree that the solution is stopping people doing things, which would be democratically challenging. That is why I am dubious about Extinction Rebellion talk of a "climate emergency", as that is one step away from demanding emergency powers.
We believe technology is a key part of the solution, and in our district, we have a strong engineering heritage, including a company working on electric powered flight.
If you are in the area, we always appreciate help, and can always find a delivery route for you.

MISSISSIPPI STATE – In response to the growing problem of too few doctors to serve the population, 14 years ago Mississippi State University created a plan to motivate bright high schoolers to give medicine a closer look.
MSU launched Rural Medical Scholars in 1998 for the single purpose of directing more of the state's best and highest-performing students into medical careers. That means the 20 high school students currently in the five-week program have spent the summer seriously considering a future in medicine.
Bonnie Carew, MSU Extension Service rural health program leader and Rural Medical Scholars coordinator, said the program meets a critical need in the state: Mississippi has the second-lowest number of physicians per capita in the nation.
"Almost half of all Mississippians do not have access to a primary-care physician, and 56 percent of the state's primary-care physicians practice in only four counties," Carew said. "Our numbers show we are doing a pretty good job of encouraging young people to consider careers in medicine in Mississippi.
"We have had 296 high school students participate since this program began, and about 72 percent of them are either headed to health-related careers or working in the medical field," she said.
Each year, about 20 academically gifted rising high school seniors attend the program. They live at MSU in residence halls and take biology and precalculus. They earn seven college credit hours, visit the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and observe area physicians at work. Students pay only for their food.
"The experience gives them invaluable input as they make decisions about their future career paths," Carew said.
Abby Matthews, a 17-year-old from Summit and the daughter of Alan and Michelle Matthews, is a rural medical scholar this summer. For about a year, she has been considering becoming a physician. She thought this opportunity would give her a preview of life as a college student.
"I had to skip other camps and trips I had planned for June, but Rural Medical Scholars is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Matthews said. "Between the college credits and getting to shadow physicians, there's no way I could pass it up."
Matthews came to campus wondering if her love of working with others and her love of biology could be combined in a satisfying career in medicine, specifically pediatrics.
"The program has gone above and beyond what I expected," Matthews said. "By shadowing physicians, I have received valuable information that will help me when making future decisions about my college and career.
"I have also had the opportunity to meet teenagers who share the same interests that I have," she said.
The Rural Medical Scholars gives many participants the push they need to finalize their decision that a career in medicine is the right choice for them.
"I've shadowed three physicians, and each has had something new to teach me," Matthews said. "I think my favorite experience was shadowing Dr. Deborah Shirley [a Starkville pediatrician]. I got to see first-hand what a day in the life of a pediatrician was like. I am more excited than ever to begin my journey into the world of medicine."
Carew said the program has been offered annually since its inception in 1998, except for 2007-2009 when funding was lost. She secured grant funding to reinstate the program in 2010. This year's funding comes from the State Office of Rural Health at the Mississippi Department of Health, the Mississippi Area Health Education Center and MSU.

BkiUddHxK6nrxpQc1fKD | Restless Road See Their Future in 'Took One Look at Her Momma' [Listen]
Angela Stefano Published: February 10, 2021
Matthew Berinato
Restless Road — the rising country trio of Zach Beeken, Garrett Nichols and Colton Pack — are celebrating their signing to Kane Brown's 1021 Entertainment with a brand-new single. "Took One Look at Her Momma" celebrates the women we love, and perhaps more importantly, the people who made them that way.
The protagonist of Restless Road's new song is smitten: His love's "got a heart of gold ... [and] lights up every room she walks in," and it seems, as the saying goes, she got it from her mother.
"Where she got it from, I was dying to know / Well, it all made sense when she brought me home," they sing over a steady, guitar-driven melody that's got a throwback edge. "I took one look at her momma / I took one look at the woman that raised her up right / I knew that I was a goner / Soon as I saw where my baby done got that smile, oh / The pretty in her genes / Gonna last a lifetime it seems / I knew that peach didn't fall far from the tree ..."
Restless Road co-wrote "Took One Look at Her Momma" with Lindsay Rimes and Andy Albert, based on a bit of "dad wisdom" from Nichols' father, who told his son to look to a significant other's mother as an indication of what she'll be like in the future. Beeken, however, was the one to suggest it as a song title.
"We all looked at each other, and we were like, 'Yeah, that could be pretty cool,'" Nichols remembers. The bandmates say they're excited to share the song's "fun vibe," and that Brown is a big fan of the song as well.
1021 Entertainment is Brown's new venture with his label, Sony Music Nashville. Restless Road are his first signed act, and they are also signed to the Sony/ATV publishing company. Brown was already acting as a mentor to the trio; he, Beeken and Pack met during tryouts for The X-Factor's third season in 2013, and Beeken and Pack later found Nichols via social media.
"We all look at [Kane] as an old brother. He has great advice on music stuff, but even personal matters; he's always there to help, and he's always looking out for us," Restless Road say, noting that Brown's fans have also been receptive of them and their music. "And he's been there, so he knows what to expect ... Yeah, he's just really a good guy."
Restless Road spent years working on their career after their turn on The X-Factor, but when Brown reached out about working with them in mid-2019, they'd actually gone their separate ways. Sensing the opportunity wasn't one to pass up, they officially reunited and began crafting some new music.
The trio previously released a self-titled EP, which features "Take Me Home," a modernized, reimagined version of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" that received the blessing of Denver's estate. Dann Huff and Rimes co-produced the EP.
"Up until this point ... people really don't know who we are as a band, and so we're really excited to show them this year," Restless Road reflect. "It's going to be a big year for us."

BkiUczg5qhDBPRyD-g7C | Many mothers would love to lose the baby fat that we almost all gain while we are pregnant and of course, they would like to shed these postpartum pounds as soon as possible! Is it safe for breastfeeding mothers to lose weight, whether they go on a weight loss diet or lose weight automatically without doing anything specific? The answer is yes. Weight loss and breastfeeding can be combined.
There are a few things you should keep in mind, though.
Breastfeeding may be the very thing helping you to lose weight. Breastfeeding moms need 200 to 500 additional calories a day. If you keep on eating the same amount of calories that you did before you got pregnant, you are likely to lose weight all by yourself. The more often you breastfeed, and the longer you breastfeed, the bigger your odds of losing weight. If you feed your baby on demand and longer than six months, it will work towards losing those pregnancy pounds.
Don't go on restrictive diets early on in the game. Your body does need time to establish milk supply, and while it is unlikely that your ability to nurse your baby will be compromised if you cut calories, your health might suffer and you will feel low on energy.
Focus on eating healthy foods and good calories, rather than restricting the amount of food you need. There is no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to how much food you need. One thing is for sure the quality counts. Eat as much as you think you need, but cut out fast foods.
If you do want to reduce the number of calories you consume, do so over a period of time and not all at once to avoid breastfeeding complications. Breastfeeding experts say that what puts your milk supply in danger is an abrupt reduction in the amount of food you eat. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUgUbxK7IDOjusFbfv | A scientist obsessed with accuracy navigates the weighty issues of love and loss in this enjoyable curiosity.
"A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never quite sure." Bent Hamer's latest tale of borderline absurdity builds itself almost entirely around that rational concept. 1001 Grams is a film based on attention to detail and an unparalleled obsession with metrology. Most of the film takes place between the actual Metrology laboratories in Norway and a rather divine Parisian dynasty that is home to the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM). In an age of quantum physics and nanoparticle research, one might wonder what all the fuss over metrics is for, but Hamer's film approaches its subject matter with just enough seriousness to prevent it from tipping the scales towards the ludicrous.
It's very hard to describe what 1000 Grams is actually about. It is first and foremost about the kilogram and the importance in metrology of measuring just about anything, whether it's love or other seemingly unquantifiable parts of our chaotic world. Marie (Ane Dahl Torp) is a Norwegian scientist dedicated to her task of carrying her national prototype of the kilogram back and forth to a prestigious seminar in Paris at the BIPM. Marie whizzes between Paris and Norway so often it's hard to keep track, but one thing is certain for her: the kilo is sacred, truly sacred. A single scratch or bump to her prototype could change the weight by the tiniest percentage. There is really no explanation as to what destruction this could cause and, consequently, there is little tension to be had throughout this film. In fact, the entire plot is remarkably insignificant, making Hamer's film more intriguing than anything else. It is a peculiar viewing experience, to say the least.
The seminar in Paris turns out to be light in content, except for the unveiling of the one and only international prototype for the kilogram. As a group of scientists huddles around the weight, their expressions look like they're observing extra-terrestrial life when they're really looking at the object by which all measurements of weight are governed. It sounds boring, but it's interesting to think about what would happen if this prototype came into harm. Part of the film is made up of humourous debates around this concept, while the rest of the film focuses on Marie's increasing misfortunes in her personal life. The recent loss of her father Ernst (played coolly by Stein Winge) is what's mainly eating her up, which provides only a small amount insight into Marie's character. Marie is consistently presented as isolated from the very beginning. She is infected by the solitude of her clinical lifestyle and, therefore, unable to let any deeper feelings rise above this sterile surface.
But in Marie's restrictive world, her one source of freedom might come in the form of romance. Marie meets the young, handsome French "metric guru" Pi (Laurent Stocker), who asks Marie whether she is in favour of cleaning the prototypes of dirt (a question that's uttered as if it's a matter of life and death). Given Marie's isolated nature, it takes time for her to warm up to this potential love interest, but Pi's presence provides Hamer's film with the chance for something joyous or, at the very least, human.
Hamer and director of photography John Christian Rosenlund do a good job realizing this unique universe with a boxed-in aesthetic. Piercing straight lines and various shades of melancholic blue appear in every frame, creating a striking canvas that's accompanied by John Erik Kaada's equally effective score. His sounds manage to make multiple meanings out of quirky and intriguing melodies. It is as if the film's score came from some solitary faraway planet, one that perfectly fits Hamer's distinct vision.
At times, 1001 Grams can feel too pessimistic, like when someone quotes the French poet Louis Aragon's famous line "By the time we learn to live it is already too late." Other moments are more hopeful, but Hamer still delivers them with a poker face to keep in line with his film's tone. Hamer asks viewers to surrender to a number of his philosophical truisms, which will either generate curiosity or push viewers away. But Hamer's look at the quantifiable and unquantifiable aspects of our existence is rich, and it gives the film an emotional core that viewers can connect to. It is a very particular film that mostly inspires curiosity but, in this case, curiosity can be a good thing. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

Berlin 61 Kicks Off with True Grit
If John Wayne is up there watching from the Great Beyond in the Sky over Berlin, he must be truly gritting his teeth to see a younger Good Ole Boy, name o' Jeff Bridges, reaping the kudos and leading the pack into Potsdamer Platz on opening night, while wearing the same black eye-patch Wayne did in the original version of this gritty All-American western. Of course, Big John did pick up an Oscar for his turn as Rooster Cogburn, the alcoholic, one-eyed, straight-shooting lawman, back in 1969 -- but he was never invited to tread the international Red Carpet here in Berlin. The Coen Brothers latest success, "True Grit", starring a truly gnarled and gritty Mr. Bridges 61 (Wayne was 63 when he did the film), Matt Damon (weird in western attire), Jeff Brolin as the bad guy, and 14 year old newcomer Hailee Steinfeld as the teenager out to get him, has been a surprise hit upon commercial release in The States and was chosen by a fluke (according to Fest topper Dieter Kosslick) as the curtain raiser in competition here at the 61st Berlinale.
An advance press screening was shown this morning and the entire main cast (minus Matt Damon who is busy shooting) was on hand, plus the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan themselves, for the following packed-to-the-rafters press conference. The film itself is based on a novel and is not a remake, as such, of the earlier film of the same name. This is not a bad movie at all, with engrossing characterizations, intriguing dialogues, highly emotional interactions, lovingly violent, and will surely be a strong contender for the Golden Baer this year, but the press conference was even more interesting.
Both directors stressed that they were not at all influenced by the John Wayne version, hadn't even seen it since they were kids -- and were simply intrigued by the story itself, and trying to give the best possible interpretation of the novel written in 1968 by Charles Portis.
Mr. Bridges said that he did not watch the old film and was in no way trying to do a reinterpretation of the John Wayne character, but simply followed the direction of the Coens. He added, significantly, that in his opinion the Coens (Who hail from Minneapolis) are the best American directors going at this point in time, and that it was about time for them to be recognized as such. Once thought of as "the kings of the off-Hollywood indies" using lesser known actors (Steve Buscemi, Frances Mcdormand, Wm. B. Macy, et al ) and offbeat original material (Blood Simple, Fargo, etc.) in the past few years they have definitely made a mark in the mainstream with films such as "No Country For Old Men" and have in fact become a major force impacting on the very definition of American mainstream.
Actor Jeff Brolin (a Coen Bros. regular) added that while Wayne was indeed an American icon, larger than life, in this film Jeff Bridges delivers a much more accessible Rooster Cogburn -- a more believable aging gunslinger in an era when sudden death was the order of the day. Joel Coen added that this True Grit is not really a western, as such, but is more about the mythology of the western, and just happens to be set in the Arkansas of the 1850s. Brolin added that he thinks the popular success of the film is due to the fact that it appeals to simple human values in a time when life was much simpler. Brolin pointed out that not so long ago the "Self Help" sections of American bookstores were quite small, but have now tripled in size, indicating that people in America with high divorce rates and crumbling vaues are really confused and desperately searching for a more meaningful way of life. The values expressed in True Grit are simple and straight forward -- self-reliance, respect, and going after what you really want with assurance and determination.
Many questions were directed at teenage actress Haillee Steinberg seated between Brolin and Bridges in the middle of the conference table. In a role that also turned heads by actress Kim Darby in '69, Hailee plays a teenage girl out to avenge the murder of her father who doggedly enlists the aid of an aging frontier marshal (Bridges) to help her track the fugitive down. How she gains the grudging respect of the grizzled gunman who at first wants to shoo her off -- with her own true grit, is really what the story is all about. Asked if it wasn't stressful having to act alongside a bevy of seasoned big name actors she said that, no, it was all a lot of fun, and all the main male actors became father figures to her in the course of the three month shoot. The young actress was unaffected, relaxed and seemed to be taking her sudden stardom in stride. Although this kid is an odds on bet for an Oscar come March, she is no Hollywood brat and says she had not even heard of Hollywood legend, John Wayne, until called upon to do this picture. Moreover, she was surprised to hear young kids her own age talking about the New True Grit as if it were a contemporary story.
Kim Darby, who was 21 when she played the fourteen year old gritty heroine in 1969 alongside Wayne and country music star Glen Campbell, was thought to have a shining career ahead of her at the time , but quickly fizzled out and never did much of note thereafter. Actress Steinfeld, who is for one thing the right age for the role, is much more likely to go on to bigger things. An interesting moment came when a discussion arose as to what the term "true grit" really means. The conscensus was that it means something real down-to-earth no funny-stuff integrity ... with perhaps a little grit and grime worked in.
An oddity of the film is the dialogue delivery, which one press person described as 'semi biblical'. In fact, all the characters employ a speech style which avoids contractions (such as don't and won't) conveying a feeling of old-fashionedness, but also making for very clear verbal text -the exact opposite of the "realistic" garbled speech one used to encounter in the films of Robert Altman. Ethan Coen said this was a deliberate decision employed as a device to capture the classic style of writer Charles Portis - whom Coen describes as a modern American Shakespeare!
At an earlier press conference today the international jury led by actress Isabella Rossellini was introduced. Isabella, daughter of another Hollywood legend, Ingrid Bergman of Casablanca immortality -- charmed the crowd of journalists and allowed that it was "no professional disadvantage to be the daughter of a world famous star like Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini" --- a famous postwar Italian director -- but more about that tomorrow. Incidentally, the seat of Iranian director Jafar Panahi --was most significantly empty at the long conference table -- with his name clearly on display, because the insanely fundamentalist Islamic regime in Teheran threw him into jail -- a six year sentence for making films "unfriendly to the government" -- as his reward for being invited to Berlin. As a well-aimed slap in the face of the Iranian merchants of madness, all five of Jafar's completed features (mostly dealing with the oppression of women in Iran today) will be screened here on February 12 --which is the anniversary of the Islamic revolution that turned the country into a police state.

BkiUdH85qYVBPGxmjynb | Q: How to arrange many thermal sensors in series? Is there a kind of thermal sensor that only changes resistance if it is above 50'C and that can be wired in series?
I want to wire 50 thermal sensors on 50 batteries so that i can see if any one of them gets too hot.
A: A re-settable thermal fuse, such as this, could probably do what you're looking for.
Wire them all in series and place one on each battery. If any battery gets above 50C the fuse will trip and the circuit will break past the fuse. These are usually available in many different temperatures to suit your needs.

Adding to the look was her hair, which she appeared to wear natural, much to the delight of fans on social media.

BkiUdh04eIZjvCjkaX6p | Irrespective of how old we turn, the kid within us is always on a lookout for happiness that Santa brings in, and there's no denying that nothing can match those few moments of joy that gifts us lifelong memories. So, to ensure each one of us experiences it, our HR team decided to take the Christmas celebration for 2017 a notch higher by becoming the best Santa ever!
They not only made all of us live the excitement for a week and helped in becoming each other's secret Santa, but also gifted smiles to the underprivileged kids from Bucket List – the NGO based in Jasola who visited our office on Children's Day last year.
A lot of fun activities were organized to bring in the cheer, and amidst all of it, the members of every team got an opportunity to know each other better and became even best of buddies. The result of the grand Christmas celebration was surely wowsome, but what went behind it in making it a success is even definitely worth cherishing time and again.
Secret Messenger: A message box was placed on every floor, and our employees were asked and encouraged to share 'feel-good' messages for their colleagues, which were scheduled to be delivered discreetly to the respective people on 22nd December. The result? The box went overflowing with positivity!
Secret Santa: With more than 600 employees in the office, it was considered best to have a Secret Santa within every team. So, chits were picked and employees left no stones unturned in making their Santee feel special by sending brownies, chocolates & donuts to their desks, and leaving gifts for them under the Christmas tree, because everybody loves gifts!
Fulfilling the wishlist of the Bucketeers: The last time we spent a fun day with the Bucketeers was on Children's Day, and it was then we discovered that the sweet munchkins had even sweeter wishes in their hearts. From taking a box of Besan ke ladoos to cute toys, and more to their Jasola centre, we tried our best to fulfil their wishes and be their favorite Santa! Some kids also wished to get an admission into school, and a few of our employees stepped in right away to help even in making this dream come true by getting involved in the completion of all types of formalities.
Christmas Party: On 22nd December, our HR team also organized a grand terrace party in the evening to ring in the Christmas bells. From unlimited snacks to dancing, every employee got pampered and had a fun Friday like never before.
Clothes Donation Drive: While we all have our families and friends who ensure that we stay happy all the time, there is no one who can ensure the same for the underprivileged. So, a clothes donation drive was also carried out from 27th December, 2017 to 7th January, 2018 and all kinds of warm woolens and cozy wear were received.
Super Santa: Absolutely unplanned and surprising, this was something none of us saw coming. Right from sending out messages & balloons to some employees to getting songs played on the floor, this person stole the show. And we still don't know who he or she was, but we cannot thank you enough!
There is no denying that 2017's Christmas celebration week made us realize that there are different types of Santas around us, and each one of them is absolutely adorable in his or her own way. But this year, let's not wait for another Christmas to come, rather let's keep the spirits high and continue spreading happiness around us on all the days and times!

BkiUc1A4eILhP_ZFBAai | Introduction of this multi-genre artist will not be easy. His work represents art as interconnection of movement, interaction, social overlap. His work is often technologically demanding, attracting attention by its wit and playfulness. His pieces are not nonsensical, but bearers of meaning, of a deeper mission.
His middle name could be "Surprise". Because that is how we can understand his works of art. He has no ambition to become a great artist of the western world, but rather to do with joy and through hard work what he does best - installations and sculptures. He says that any work is a foundation for itself. He works from one piece to another, no doctrine that he would have to follow hangs over him.
He has created a lot for Prague, e.g. The monument Memento mori under the Nusle Bridge, which was ceremoniously unveiled in 2011 as a silent reminder of all wasted lives through suicides. In 2013 the Bike to Heaven he refers to his love of cycling and also the promoter of riding a bike, Jan Bouchal, who died in a car accident. This monument commemorates the lives of all cycling enthusiasts. It is a 14-metre high lamp of street lighting with four headlights and a mounted bicycle heading toward the sky, placed at a height of 11 meters.
What has occupied Kinter during the recent years?
A wide-scope review of his last five years of work was presented at the exhibition Nervous Trees in Rudolfinum where his spectacular work was gathered, turning the honourable old-style gallery into a post-modern space full of "junk". But don't be fooled, bases of polystyrene, known by being used as insulation material, presented Nervous trees, through which you could press through to the very nature of the exhibition. The seemingly trivial fragments call for mutual cooperation, in their essence point to the functioning of more complex systems. Similarly to installation Postnaturalia, a large area of artificial landscape made of components of electronic equipment, created a poetic and dramatic illusion at the same time.

BkiUdJw25V5iiy6Rthcx | All-Star Panel: Investigation into UN shipments to rogue states
Investigation into UN shipments to rogue states
All-Star panel weighs in
This is a rush transcript from "Special Report," July 5, 2012. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
TERESA STANEK REA, U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE: It's an outrage. Really, it's an outrage that WIPO would be transferring material, violating the sanctions that we have to North Korea and Iran. And this stuff, I mean it's basically, it's funded by U.S. inventors.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The leadership that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was disappointed when they got, to say the least, that information.
JOHN ROBERTS, ANCHOR: That was a recent House judiciary hearing in which they were discussing the transfer of computer equipment, including American servers built by Hewlett-Packard, to North Korea, and Iran. It was a U.N. office, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), that was responsible.
Let me throw out a jump ball here. You look at this and you can't help think what is going at the United Nations.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Business as usual. This is an insane proposition what happened. Here is a U.N. agency working against itself, giving this stuff to rogue states. We're not sure why – either negligence, stupidity, perhaps malice. But that is how the U.N. runs entirely, either negligence or stupidity or malice.
Look at the U.N. Human Rights Council. Who sat on it? Qaddafi's Libya sat on it. Saudi Arabia today sits on it. You can't have a church or a synagogue or bible in Saudi Arabia. It sits on the U.N. Human Rights Council. And where does the money come from for WIPO, for the U.N., for everything? A fifth of is it American. Overwhelmingly all the money is from the industrialized west.
We are subsidizing an entire structure with many, with a legion of organizations, all of whom are either negligent, stupid, or malicious, and who issue resolution, publications, committees, which are almost exclusively anti-western, anti-American, anti-Semitic. It's the center of that thinking in the world.
And why we subsidize it, why we stay in it is beside me. I wrote a quarter a century ago that we should leave, take our money, and take it out of New York so it meets, I don't know in Kinshasa somewhere. We'll see how many diplomats will show up in Kinshasa.
KRAUTHAMMER: It becomes irrelevant and it withers away.
ROBERTS: Let's take a moment to add a couple of quotes to that. Here is something that John Bolton said about this back in the 1990's. He said, quote, "The [U.N.] Secretariat building in New York is 38 stories. If it lost 10 stories it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
MARY KATHARINE HAM, THE DAILY CALLER: There wouldn't enough for Charles he wants all the –
ROBERTS: I got one more. Mike Huckabee said in 2009 "It's time to get a jackhammer and to simply chip that part of New York City. Let it float into the East River never to be seen again."
KRAUTHAMMER: If it lost 10 stories it would be improved.
MARA LIASSON, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: You can see this is a great opportunity to have reminded conservatives how they feel about the U.N.
HAM: It's shocking how unshocking it is.
ROBERTS: Is it in need of an overhaul? Or is it in need of tearing down and rebuilding?
LIASSON: I thought the U.N. recently got an overhaul. But the question is, I want to know how this happened and why? Was it just they didn't know about their own rules or some rogue shipping clerk?
ROBERTS: How do you miss the part that says there is an embargo against North Korea and Iran so don't ship them computer equipment.
HAM: Well, there seems to be some evidence as well that they went through channels that would be less detectable, which leads to the conclusion perhaps it was malicious rather than just stupid. But this sort of is business as usual as Charles said. They made Robert Mugabe a U.N. tourism ambassador several weeks ago. I mean, this is the way that they think up there -- it's amazing.
ROBERTS: Where is ultimately though, the disconnect here? Does it lie with the United Nations or does it lie with the State Department which is supposed to be keeping an eye on things?
KRAUTHAMMER: I think it lies in the U.N. It's inherently a corrupt organization because it's a sandbox of dictators. It began as something essentially run by the western democracies and it ran somewhat efficiently the first decade or so. And then you had decolonization. You ended up with 100-150 countries, very few of whom are democratic. It is a playpen of dictators. And they run it that way. And the idea that they would use it for anything other than to promote authoritarianism and to attack the west is a fiction. It will always be this way because it's a universal organization. The alternative is to form a league of democracies as an alternative which over a generation or two would take over the functions and the stature of the U.N.
ROBERTS: So when do we start rebuilding?
LIASSON: I don't know. That's not part of Mitt Romney's platform.
KRAUTHAMMER: Well, then he should be listening.
HAM: I'm sure John Bolton is. He could probably get involved.
ROBERTS: But ultimately, if you are transferring this high-tech technology, which you give it to Iran and North Korea, you know that it's probably going to be used for something other than its intended purpose, if it's just crunching numbers. What do you do? You can't get it back. This has stumped the panel --
HAM: HP, for instance, has a specific rule within its company that its stuff does not go to these countries. So the corporate -- the corporate folks --
HAM: The corporate folks that are friends who are generally U.N. supporters might believe would be nefarious are being far less nefarious than the U.N. in this case. But it's hard to keep that stuff out of there.
ROBERTS: One thing you indicated, Charles, the U.N. never ceases to surprise. Thanks for joining us today, folks. Appreciate it. That is it for panel, but stay tuned to see how the campaigns are reaching out to the youth vote. We'll be right back.

BkiUdZvxK7kjXMEc9RSP | Q: Why is date so slow? Anyone know a better way to do this were it is faster? This currently is slow when pushing high lines per second to this script:
#!/bin/bash
declare -A clientarray
file=$1
timer=$2
e=$(date --date "now +$timer second" +%s)
while read line
do
if [ -n "${clientarray[$line]}" ]; then
let "clientarray[$line]=clientarray[$line]+1"
echo "$line: ${clientarray[$line]}"
elif [ -z "${clientarray[$line]}" ]; then
clientarray[$line]=1
echo "$line: ${clientarray[$line]}"
fi
if [ $(date +%s) -gt $e ]; then
e=$(date --date "now +$timer second" +%s)
fi
done < <(tail -F $file | gawk -F"]" '/]/ {print $1}')
Here is an example of the lines:
someline]
someline2]
somethingidontwant
someline3]
somethingelseidontwant
someline4]
and to call the script:
bash script.sh somelogfile.log 1
If I comment out the if logic at the very end it goes really fast but with it the speed drops 2/3rds. Tested it with pv:
(this is with the if logic):
ubuntu@myhost:~/graphs$ tail -F somelogfile.log | pv -N RAW -lc >/dev/null |
> bash script.sh somelogfile.log 1 | pv -N SCP -lc >/dev/null
RAW: 2.18k 0:00:16 [ 493/s ] [ <=> ]
SCP: 593 0:00:16 [ 150/s ] [ <=> ]
(this is without)
ubuntu@myhost:~/graphs$ tail -F somelogfile.log | pv -N RAW -lc >/dev/null |
> bash script.sh somelogfile.log 1 | pv -N SCP -lc >/dev/null
RAW: 7.69k 0:00:15 [512/s] [ <=> ]
SCP: 7.6k 0:00:15 [503/s] [ <=> ]
Let me know if I am missing something on my script or testing side, especially any "DOH!"'s.
I think at this point I would love one =)
A: As a guess, I'd say it could be that that last if...fi block adds two non-builtin commands per iteration. Everything else in the loop is bash builtins, which execute much faster. With it, you have a call to date within the test, and another in the body of the if. In addition, date --date has to parse and evaluate that "now +$timer second" expression each time it's called, which probably isn't very speedy, given --date's generality. If I were you, I'd try reimplementing this in a scripting language with more native handling of dates/times: Perl, Ruby, Python, whatever you're comfortable with.
You also appear to have a bug:
if [ `date +%s` > $e ] ...
This says: execute the command date +%s and interpolate its output (say 12345) into another command [ 12345 > $e ] (so far so good). That command says: run the [ builtin with two arguments (12345 and ]), and redirect its standard output stream to a file named by the value of $e (uh-oh). You probably want to use -gt instead of > here.
A: I'm not sure what you are doing with $e, but you can print the current date using the shell builtin printf much faster than you can by calling out to date. Subprocess calls tend to be expensive. For example, if you are not on glibc2 you can do:
printf '%(%+)T\n' -1
to get exactly the output of the date command. %+ is not supported on glibc2 so you can construct something identical with other parameters, or something similar with:
printf '%(%c %Z)T\n' -1
If you need to capture and process the date somehow then you may still need a subshell call using $() but there's a decent chance it's still faster than date.

Mexico may add two reactors to Laguna Verde power station
Posted on September 26, 2015 by djysrv
Laguna Verde nuclear power station, Mexico Image source: Google Maps
Update June 2018 – Mexico signed a 123 Agreement with the US opening the door to trade in nuclear energy technologies between the two countries. ###
Mexico's Energy Ministry says it may decide within the next 12 months whether to seek permits to build two new full-size nuclear reactors next door to the two that have been in revenue service since 1989 and 1994 respectively. Both units are 800 MW GE BWRs.
The Deputy Energy Minister for Electricity, Cesar Hernandez, told the Reuters wire service on 9/24 that internal studies are being developed that will help the agency decide whether to move forward with the plan.
The country has relied heavily on natural gas over the years for electricity generation. According to the World Nuclear Association, plans to build additional nuclear reactors have been under development since 2010. The government's studies urge it to look past low gas prices to consider building two more reactors at Laguna Verde as a first step in expanding nuclear capacity by 2026.
If built the units would be approximately 1000 MW with about 160 MW of the electricity from each reactor powering reverse osmosis sea water desalinization plants.
Hernandez did not provide Reuters with an estimate of the cost of the new reactors nor did he provide an estimate of what the electricity from the plants would cost to users. The government agency in charge of electricity charges different subsidized rates for residential, industrial, and agricultural customers.
Rates for residential users are low, even by US standards, at an average of $0.055/kWh. EIA data report that average U.S. residential power rates are at $0.126/kWh or about 57% higher than the government-subsidized rate in Mexico.
At current "overnight"prices of a minimum of $4,000 on average globally, the new reactors could cost at least $4 billion each assuming construction costs are lower in Mexico. The units could cost more depending on when construction breaks ground and which vendor supplies the major long lead time components. The new reactors would be built and operated by the Federal Electricity Commission of Mexico.
In terms of licensing, the National Commission on Nuclear Safety and Safeguards (CNSNS) is a semi-autonomous body under the authority of the Ministry of Energy.
It is responsible for regulations and safety for nuclear installations. CNSNS is also responsible for site evaluations and licenses for new nuclear reactors. In the case of Laguna Verde, the site is already in use as a nuclear power station.
Nuclear energy accounts for about 4.6% of electricity generation in Mexico according to the OECD/NEA. Two new units would double that figure. Earlier this year, the capacity of the existing Laguna Verde reactors was upgraded by about 16% to 1,620 MWe.
Brazil closes its nuclear sector to private investors
Brazil Angra 3 – artist impression Image source: World Nuclear news
The Brazilian nuclear power sector, which has been rocked by a huge corruption scandal, has cancelled plans to allow private investors to take equity positions in new nuclear power plants.
Electronuclear, which builds and operates Brazil's nuclear reactors, had asked the government for permission to allow private companies to build new reactors. The government has plans on the drawing boards, but no commitments, to build four new reactors by 2030.
Maurico Tolmasquim, the head of the Brazilian government's energy planning agency, told wire services there were too many opportunities for "political snags" to allow the plan to go forward at this time.
In Brazil Angra 3, a 1250 MW PWR has been under construction since 1984 with several multi-year stoppages due to a lack of financing. In 2010 construction was restarted and the reactor is expected to be completed in December 2015 at a cost of $7.6 billion.
In July 2015 the arrest of Othon Luiz Pinheiro da Silva, a retired admiral, and the head of Brazil's nuclear energy utility, on corruption charges cut short plans by that organization to build at least four more reactors.
Mr. da Silve was arrested for allegedly taking 4.5 million reais ($1.35 million) in bribes from engineering firms working on the Angra 3 nuclear power plant. Law enforcement investigations of corruption in Petrobras, the state-owned Brazilian oil exploration and production company, uncovered allegations of money laundering by da Silva. The CEO of Brazil's largest construction company, Marcelo Odebrecht, was also arrested in the growing bribery case.
Reuters reported that "The arrest is a tragedy for the industry," said Luiz Pinguelli Rosa, a Brazilian nuclear physicist and Eletrobras' chief executive from 2003 to 2005.
"The industry was already in crisis, but now the corruption concerns are bound to delay Angra 3 further and cause costs to rise even more."
It is unlikely the government will loosen the reins on financing new nuclear reactors when its own officials have become mired in a huge bribery scandal.

BkiUd8Y5qsBDH_zJ-VRQ | The Inside Story On Moesha Boduong's Dramatic Curves and How She Affords Her Luxury Lifestyle
By Adeola Seun
If you pay only cursory attention to the Ghanaian entertainment industry, chances are you only know her for acting and TV presenting. More than that, you probably know Moesha Boduong for her dramatic curves, one that has firmly placed her among Ghana's curviest women.
While we will be the first to admit African women are predisposed to a curvy body, Moesha has had some help. It is another evidence of a spending power that allows her to afford luxuries like her mansion and cars.
Moesha Boduong Had a Procedure to Make Her Tummy Flat
Her backside might be the star attraction, but it was the final icing on Moesha's walk to her curves. Her flat tummy, as simple as it might seem, has been a contributor to the admiration her body covets. And while she is known for spending a significant amount of time in the gym, it turns out she has had some help.
In 2019, Moesha Boduong admitted that she had a liposuction procedure. Liposuction is an operation where excess fatty tissue is removed from under the skin by suction. The result is a flat tummy that enhanced her body shape. She confirmed it all during an appearance on Nana Ama McBrown's McBrown's Kitchen.
Moesha confirmed what many considered an open secret on the show, claiming she underwent the procedure to give herself a slimmer waist. Interestingly, on the same show, Moesha denied extending the surgery to her backside. However, it turned out it was not true at the time.
She Later Admitted Having Surgery on Her Ass and Hips on National TV
Moesha Boduong's comments on McBrown's Kitchen opened the door to suggestions that perhaps, her jaw-dropping backside is natural after all. However, in August 2020, while appearing on GHOne TV's TLS show, she finally put an end to the debate about her curves. She admitted getting a Brazilian Butt Lift, a procedure where excess fat is taken from other parts of your body and transferred to your hips and ass. Furthermore, she confirmed that she got the surgery along with the liposuction she admitted to as a separate surgery before.
Asked why she underwent the procedure, Moesha revealed years of gym work was not giving her the result she wanted. As a result, she went under the knife to get what she desired after careful research on the subject. Controversial as the process might seem, the effect has been undeniable.

Moesha's Curves Have Attracted Positive and Negative Reactions
Not only has Moesha Boduong risen in status and exposure in the Ghanaian entertainment industry, with increased roles and modeling gigs, but the interconnectedness of the modern world has also gotten her attention from abroad too. She has featured on US platforms like The Shade Room and amassed over 2.4 million followers on Instagram.
It has not all been positive, though. The actress/model has faced a significant amount of body shaming, aided not just by her body shape but her propensity to show it off in tight and skin-revealing clothing. It has attracted suggestions she is a sugar baby and that she is fake.
Nevertheless, she has taken it all in stride and even went on the offensive on a couple of occasions. Earlier in 2020, she took to her Snapchat to encourage other women who wish to undergo surgery to take the leap. Overall, Moesha Boduong's curves have had a net positive effect on her life, including boosting her net worth.
Moesha Boduong Has a Luxurious Lifestyle Fueled by a $400,000 Net Worth
Once upon a time, Moesha was the subject of vitriol from Ghanaians. In April 2018, she suggested during an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour that Ghanaian women use men as their primary source of income, trading cash for sex.
The interview drew scrutinizing attention to Moesha Boduong's net worth and her income sources, causing many to claim her comments were mere reflections of her life. There has been zero evidence of those claims. However, we know acting and modelling are two professional sources contributing to a reported $400,000 net worth owned by the Ghanaian personality.
She Has Been Acting Since At Least 2017
https://www.instagram.com/p/CGu8tu9H5mU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Unlike other famous actresses in the Ghanaian film industry, Moesha's journey in the industry is not well-documented. However, public records show she has been acting since at least 2017 and has appeared in several films in that period.
Beyond her ability to bring characters to life, Moesha Boduong's curves have also helped expand her filmography, resulting in more than 20 known film appearances to date. Unfortunately, her salary for each film remains undisclosed. But considering her popularity and the commercial performances of her works, comparable to other actresses, there is no doubt they have been significant contributors to her net worth.
Her films include The Hero: Service to Humanity, Amakye and Dede, Grey Down, Yvonne's Tears, Pool Party, and several others.
Moesha Also Makes Money from Modeling and Digital Influencing
Modeling and social media influencing may not seem like the kind of career to fetch Moesha Boduong her reported $400,000 net worth. Regardless, they are lucrative roles in modern life. Aided by her curves, Moesha has leveraged her looks to become a model and influencer.
A post shared by Moesha Babiinoti Boduong (@moeshaboduong)
On social media, particularly Instagram, she has over 2.4 million followers. It is a significant following that has attracted brands like The Skin Pop Shop, Furnart Ghana, and Bet Planet. Her body has also opened the doors to modeling gigs, with partnerships with brands in the lingerie business like The Body Shop and Curve Thicked Body.
How much do these partnerships earn her? We will probably never know. But they have funded Moesha Boduong's luxurious lifestyle and her overall net worth.
Cars and a Mansion are Ways Moesha Boduong Spends Her Earnings
Having a $400,000 net worth puts the actress in a position to enjoy some of life's luxuries, and Moesha has embraced the opportunity. Among a possibly long list of the actress's assets are two cars; a Range Rover and a Land Cruiser. Both are painted white as her part of her signature look.
She shared a video of both vehicles in October 2020, parked in front of a mansion, which she also owns. The house is in East Legon, and although she is yet to take fans on an inside tour, her Instagram posts reveal it is well furnished.
Aerial view also shows it is significantly large, enough to warrant its mansion tag. From the outside, the house has two garage spaces for her cars. Combined with expensive shopping and vacation trips, Moesha is aptly enjoying her wealthy status.

BkiUdUs4c3aisMlrGmuJ | State of emergency includes Gaston, Cleveland counties
The Gaston Gazette
Gaston and Cleveland counties are among 25 western North Carolina counties covered by a State of Emergency declaration issued by Gov. Pat McCrory today.
There are more than 20 active wildfires burning in the area due to the drought the region has experienced.
A fire near Lake Lure is affecting areas in Rutherford, Polk and Henderson counties while a fire in South Mountains State Park is affecting Cleveland County.
"As eastern North Carolina was underwater due to flooding from Hurricane Matthew, the western part of the state has been suffering from a severe drought and now hundreds of acres are burning," McCrory said in a statement. "This declaration will help facilitate evacuations as needed and provide further state assets to help combat the wildfires and support North Carolinians displaced by the fires. This is extremely dangerous work and I especially want to thank the firefighters, first responders, sheriffs and other emergency personnel that have risked their own lives to protect our citizens and property."
The Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests have upgraded their fire burns and have now implemented a total fire ban due to the extremely dry conditions, high fire danger and little chance of rain in the immediate forecast.
Beginning today, the following restrictions are in place for the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests until further notice:
Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire or campfire (including charcoal-based fire whether in a grill or not) is not allowed anywhere in the national forest.
The use of commercially available portable lanterns, stoves, or heating equipment that utilize gas or pressurized liquid fuel is allowed.
The updated order expands the restrictions issued Oct. 28 to include restrictions in fee-area campgrounds. This restriction only pertains to the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests; however, the state of North Carolina has also issued a burn ban for 25 western counties.
The Blue Ridge Parkway announced the same fire restrictions Wednesday for both the North Carolina and Virginia sections.
Do not have open flame anywhere on the forest and be very cautious about activities that could produce fires such as extinguishing tobacco products or operating equipment without a spark arrestor.
For more tips, visit smokeybear.com/en/prevention-how-tos.
More than 20 wildfires are burning on over 17,000 acres across the Nantahala National Forest. All fires are being investigated for suspected arson.
Please call the National Forests of North Carolina at 828-257-4200 if you have information about persons setting fires or bragging about setting fires. If you see someone starting a fire, call 911. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfk_xK6nrxq6DpyEG | HAMMOND, La. – As the peak of the spring bedding plant season arrives, we may need a few warm-season flowers in our shade areas around the landscape.
Most of our warm-season flowers prefer full sun or more sun than shade, but we have many great bedding plants that will produce pleasing flowers and foliage for those shaded areas through fall. Examples are torenia (wishbone flower), different types of begonias, caladiums, coleus and impatiens.
Impatiens are the warm-season flower for shade. Overall, it the most widely sold warm-season bedding plant around the country. Morning sun is fine, but they will need shade from late morning through late afternoon, if possible, to perform best. Plants will flower throughout the warm season of the year. Plant impatiens in midspring in well-drained, moist soil.
Great companion plants include coleus, begonia, torenia and caladiums. Most impatiens will get 18 inches tall. Sometimes they will get tall and leggy when planted too close together. Prune them lightly in late summer, and plants will bloom again in two weeks. Many flower colors are available. You can now get impatiens with trailing growth habits.
We need to be cautious with impatiens in 2013. You may have noticed that impatiens did not perform well, or even died, in your landscape in 2012. There is, unfortunately, a new disease plaguing impatiens, not only in Louisiana and other parts of the Southeast but across the vast majority of the country. Impatiens downy mildew is Plasmopara obducens, and the garden type impatiens that we most commonly use are very susceptible to this disease. New Guinea impatiens are disease-tolerant and good plants for shade in Louisiana.
Downy mildew symptoms appear as a gray discoloration on the bottom sides of leaves. The new growth could be yellow and curling downward. The infected leaves will fall off, resulting in severe defoliation. Fungicide control options are difficult for most home gardeners.
The companion plant for impatiens that we normally use in the shade garden is caladiums. These plants can be purchased as bulbs or bought already growing in containers. Caladiums provide colorful foliage in the shade garden – green, pink and red are the most common. Caladiums are grown for their leaves, and the lighter-colored varieties work best in shady settings.
Dragon Wing and other type begonias also do well in Louisiana shade. They are promoted as more sun-type plants in northern climates, but Dragon Wing begonias need shade here.
Begonias are available in many shapes, sizes and flower colors. Foliage colors include green, bronze and red. Typically, the greener-foliaged begonias do best in or require shade while the reddish and bronze begonias tolerate some sunny areas. Rum, Brandy, Whiskey, Vodka and Gin are the varieties in the Cocktail series of begonias – a longtime favorite in the South.
You could seriously consider the BabyWing begonias. These are a Louisiana Super Plants selection. BabyWing has bigger foliage on bigger plants than you may expect by looking at the name. Plants reach about 18 inches tall, and flowers come in pink and white. A bronze-foliaged variety is new for 2013. Partial shade is a great planting location for them.
Coleus have traditionally been shade plants, but many new varieties are being promoted for sunny locations. Older seed-propagated varieties, such as Wizard and Rainbow, are good for shade. In addition, the large-foliaged Kong series is an impressive grower.
Coleus, like caladiums, are grown for foliage enhancement in the garden. The sun-type varieties of coleus perform just as well in shade as they do in full sun – but the foliage color is not as impressive.
Torenia, also called wishbone flower, is a great underused shade-performing bedding plant for blooms spring through fall. They have no problem with humidity, either.
Duchess, Summer Wave and Kauai torenia are popular. Flower colors include white, pink, purple, lavender and yellow. They are not tall – usually 12-14 inches. Plant them 1 foot apart, although the trailing types may need 18 inches between individual plants. No deadheading is needed – they are no-fuss, no-care plants. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdBU5qhLBAgyetvPg | Q: Rails JS template won't render javascript I've got a Rails app that is acting weird when it comes to rendering a js template.
This is my update action (for a "message" model).
@message = Message.find_by_id(params[:id])
if @message.update_attributes(params[:message])
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
end
Then, in app/views/messages/update.js.erb, I've got this.
$(".active-status").html("hello world");
I've got JS that triggers the update (the user ticks a checkbox), the data comes through the controller correctly. But none of the JS I want to run inside the update template actually runs.
I put print statements before and after the JS above and it prints to the logs correctly. There are no errors in the server logs and no errors in the console. When I run the line of JS mentioned above in the console, it works fine. So what is going wrong with the template?
A: The browser console will not print out the errors if they're happening during the AJAX update. You can test this yourself by intentionally calling a nonexistent function from the js.erb file and verifying that it fails with print statements. This can be very misleading. So you should be 100% sure that you are seeing a print on the line directly after $(".active-status").html("hello world"); when you click the checkbox.
This is how the prints should look when you're testing this. If you're not seeing both then there was a JS error, even if it wasn't reported in the JS console.
trace('BEFORE HELLO WORLD');
$(".active-status").html("hello world");
trace('AFTER HELLO WORLD');
EDIT
I'll add an example to clear the up the confusion.
<%logger.error "START OF JS.ERB FILE"%>
console.log('HELLO BEFORE ERROR');
alerts('hi'); // NOTE the JS errors at this point because 'alerts' is not defined, but the browser JS log never reports an error
$('#some_div_i_want_to_hide').hide(); // this never happens
console.log('HELLO AFTER ERROR');
<%logger.error "END OF JS.ERB FILE"%>
The rails server log will print out both the "START OF JS.ERB FILE" line and the "END OF JS.ERB FILE" line. My browser JS log prints out the line "HELLO BEFORE ERROR" but never prints out the line "HELLO AFTER ERROR." So the js.erb file continues to execute after the error but your js after the error never gets called.

Movieline Interview
re: superheros and comic books etc.
Zac Efron is a huge comic book geek, but he knows that other comic book geeks won't believe that. As he told Movieline this weekend, that's exactly why he hasn't accepted any of the superhero roles he's had first pick of.
I spoke with the 22-year-old actor in anticipation of his upcoming romantic drama Charlie St Cloud (look for the full interview soon), and though the film is targeted at women, I was struck by how savvy Efron was about comic-book tentpoles — and how self-deprecating he was about what fanboys must think of him.
Ironically, his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens may corner the geek market before Efron gets a chance to, as she'll be starring in Sucker Punch, the next film from Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300). As Efron acted out a bloody, off-the-record Sucker Punch scene for me, he showed off the enthusiasm and athleticism you'd expect from a comic-book hero, but he was candid about the hesitations that have kept him from donning a mask.
You're at the age when actors get offered superheroes and tentpole films. Has that been happening to you? Do they come to you with, say, the new Spider-Man?
You know, they do here and there. When a superhero movie is about to get made, we're at different levels of conversation about it. I find that it's hard to commit to an action movie for the sake of doing action. I love action as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite genre or one that I look for an amazing performance in. I'd say that it's what's underneath the action or what's driving it that's really important, and is that necessarily in a superhero movie? I don't know, maybe. It'd be fun to try. Every superhero origin story is pretty powerful, and there's usually something to tell there; it's not just about someone gaining powers, there's a lot more to it. There's life lessons in comic books, and I know, because I read them. I learned a s**tload from comics, you know? I think it would be about finding the right one.
But they've come to you before, and it hasn't been the right one or the right time?
It hasn't been the right time necessarily, or it's too early. I don't feel that I've earned it quite yet, to be honest. The people that you see them find for superheroes, you go, "Oh yeah, that's great. That guy is perfect, what a great idea." Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern? You go, "Finally, he's going to do something great! We've been waiting for it, he's done all these other things and now I want to see him as that character."
Or they go and cast someone like Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, who isn't generally known to a wide audience.
But that's a whole different thing, you know? He's coming in as an unknown. Once you sort of establish yourself…I'm in-between, you know what I mean? Andrew Garfield is going to be amazing in that movie because he's got a brand-new, fresh perspective, and to be thrown into that character so quickly, he's going to be able to redefine that brand in a way that we've never seen before. It'll be amazing. You've sort of seen me before. [Laughs] I don't know. I think you really have to pay your dues once you've been established.
When you say you have to earn it, who do you have to earn it with: the audience, or yourself?
I think for me. I need to have the belief in myself to be able to go and do that. Also, I have a self-awareness of what is out there: Right now, if I was looking at me from someone else's eyes — like the eyes of the guys who are going to go watch a superhero movie — I can't say that I'd be "two thumbs up" for me to star in an action movie right now.
Why would I be? I haven't done anything to pay those dues yet, I haven't made any movies for those fans yet. I think you have to earn the right to hold a gun. You have to earn the right to shoot web.

BkiUf2LxaKgTslQmV3-F | Essex Property Trust Spearheads Wall Street's Opposition to Prop 21
In News by Patrick Range McDonald November 3, 2020
As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on and California's housing affordability crisis worsens, Essex Property Trust — a publicly traded real estate investment trust — is spearheading Wall Street's multi-million-dollar campaign to kill Proposition 21.
Prop 21 is the statewide ballot measure that puts limits on unfair, sky-high rent increases, reins in corporate landlord greed, and prevents homelessness. Top experts at USC, UCLA, and UC Berkeley agree that sensible rent limits are key for stabilizing California's housing affordability crisis. It's why U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, labor and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the California Democratic Party, the Los Angeles Times, and California's housing justice movement have thrown their full support behind Prop 21.
The need for stable, affordable housing has only taken on added urgency because of the COVID-19 pandemic — people must have shelter to stay safe and healthy.
Wall Street landlords such as Blackstone Group, Equity Residential, and AvalonBay Communities are shelling out millions to kill Prop 21. But Essex Property Trust, based in San Mateo and led by CEO Mike Schall (pictured above), is the leading contributor, delivering a staggering $15,013,300 to No on Prop 21: Californians for Responsible Housing sponsored by the California Apartment Association.
Essex Property Trust has been deeply involved in the No on Prop 21 campaign — it was also a major player in opposing California's Proposition 10, which sought to repeal statewide rent control restrictions in 2018. In addition to shelling out king-sized cash, Essex Property Trust executive John Eudy is co-chair of a secretive "executive committee" that calls the shots for Californians for Responsible Housing. And billionaire George Marcus, who founded Essex Property Trust, contributed a hefty $1,713,000 to that committee.
Essex Property Trust is the tenth largest apartment owner in the U.S. — with more than 60,000 units and a worth of $25 billion. The vast majority of those apartments are located in the Bay Area and Southern California. The Wall Street landlord has been known to slam seniors with huge rent increases and improperly increase rents and allow substandard living conditions. Essex Property Trust was also ranked the 17th worst real estate investment trust for gender inequity on its board of directors, according to a Wells Fargo report.
(Read:"Will the Corporate Greed of Essex Property Trust CEO Mike Schall Destroy California?")
Essex Property Trust and other Wall Street landlords are not only leading the attack against Prop 21, but also against California renters, who desperately need the protections that Prop 21 gives them. For these real estate titans, raking in bigger profits is the only thing that matters — no matter the human cost.
In the end, California voters must decide who they want to stand with. Essex Property Trust and other corporate landlords who are bankrolling No on Prop 21? Or middle- and working-class Californians who would greatly benefit from Prop 21? For many, the choice is a no-brainer: YES on Prop 21.

The Story Of Khadijah {RA} – A Summary and Book Review
by Ivanna Imran · Published November 7, 2017 · Updated December 7, 2017
Khadija's Early Life
Khadija was a noble lady born to the Quraish tribe. She was a wise and Well-Respected woman in Makkah. She was related to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by a great-Grandfather Qusayy ibn Kilab. Khadija (RA) grew up around the Kabah as her Grand-Father, Asad Ibn Abdul Uzza owned a house there. It is said it was so close that the shadow of the Kabah would fall on their house when it was a very sunny day. They had a tree on their property that's branches would touch the people doing Tawaf. Though the property was bought and made part of the sacred house and the tree was cut down later by Umar (RA). Khadija was married twice, but both husbands passed away, leaving her a widow. As the Custom, Khadija inherited the wealth of both her husband's leaving her one of the wealthiest woman in Makkah. She took over the business and became a trader herself.
Khadija Hires the Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
Once Abu Talib overheard someone talking about how Khadija (RA) was looking for someone to lead a new caravan out to Syria. "I wonder who She'll hire, she pays really well." Abu Talib took this as an opportunity and rushed to his Nephew. "My means are few and soon you will have to stand on your own feet. You will need a job. Why Not approach Khadija?" "Yes, that is a good idea. I will do as you wish uncle." Was his reply. As soon as Khadija heard this, she immediately hired him. Therefore Muhammad (SAW) found himself in charge of the next voyage out to Syria.
The Syrian Venture
Muhammad (SAW), 25 at the time wanted to prove himself a hard-working man. He had once been to Syria with his Uncle, but that was when he was just 12. As he was leading for his first time, Khadija (RA) sent her servant Maysarah to accompany him. After days of traveling, the caravan arrived in Syria. Muhammad (SAW) was patient and sold everything for the best he could. He then went into the market himself and thoughtfully bought what would sell well in Makkah. When they arrived back in Makkah, he took the goods straight to Khadija. She was astounded to see the merchandise and profit. It was double her average income!
Once a friend of Khadija, Nafisa came to visit. They spoke about some things and eventually the topic of the trade came up. Khadija explained how he was an honest and trustworthy man, and how she was happy she hired him. A sudden thought struck Nafisa. "You are a widow and you both are well fit for each other. Why not get married?" Khadija eventually agreed. Nafisa became the go-between and went straight to the Prophet to ask him. He was delighted to hear the news and asked his uncle who was pleased to hear the news as well. The Marriage was accepted and arranged. They stayed in Abu Talib's house for a while and eventually moved into a different house.
Life with Khadija
Since the Marriage they were never lived alone. There Was Umm Ayman the old maid of Amina. There was Zayd ibn Haritha who was gifted by Khadija to the Prophet to help with his work. Although, the Prophet immediately freed him and kept him as a son. And later on, Zubayr ibn Awwam, after his father passed away. The Prophet and Khadija had 6 children together, Zainab Kulthum, Ruqqayah and Fatima were the girls and Qasim and Abdullah were the boys who unfortunately passed away when they were still babies.
Khadija and the first revelations of the Quran
As time passed the Prophet began to ponder about matters. He thought about what being could have created everything. He would travel up to the cave of Hira and stay there for months. Khadija would send her little daughters to give food and water to their father, so he wouldn't be hungry or thirsty. Once the Angel Jibril came and commanded him to Read. Read in the name of your Lord who created you……Muhammad became confused and was left frightened. He ran home and was comforted by Khadija. Later, Khadija brought him to her cousin Waraqah, who said: "You are a Prophet sent to the people. If I am here when you receive prophethood, I promise I will help you."
The First Muslims
The First person after the Prophet to believe was Khadijah. She accepted the religion and began to learn. Once Ali, Muhammad (SAW)'s cousin came to visit as he usually did ever so often. He came in to see the Prophet and Khadija praying. He became curious and asked what it was they were doing. They explained and asked if he would like to join. He said he would like to think about it first. The next day he returned and became the 2nd believer after Khadija. At the time, there were only Fajr and Isha prayers that both contained 2 rakah each.
Call to Islam
Dawah started from relatives, but after a while Allah commanded them to preach in public to everyone. Muhammad (SAW) understood that this was going to be a whole new chapter. They began to preach. Muhammad (SAW) left his business and began spreading the message. Khadija directed all her wealth towards Islam. She would host gatherings so she could talk to people in groups. Some people liked what they were saying and joined their small group while others opposed the message. The Quraish especially displeased and began spreading rumors. Although, it began attracting people to want to see what the religion was actually about and why everybody was talking about it so much.
The tribe of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), which was Banu Hashim was put under a social boycott, because the of Islam. The Muslims were forced to flee and stay out in the desert. Although Khadija (RA) was not part of this tribe she chose to stay with the Prophet (SAW). The Muslims were forced to eat the leaves of trees and boil leather chunks and chew on them to control their hunger. The reason they survived the Boycott was because every year for 4 months they were allowed to go into Makkah and collect the food and things they needed to survive the remaining year.
End of Boycott
One night Khadija's nephew, Hakim ibn Hizam, was taking some food for her. Abu Jahl saw this and asked where he was taking the food. Hakim truthfully answered. This made Abu Jahl became furious and said: "It is forbidden to take food for the people of Banu Hashim." At that moment, a man named Abul Bakhtari saw this and said, "Why do you stop him? What harm will come if he takes some food for his aunt?" This little incident engaged much discussion, causing people to question and think over the situation of the boycott.
The year of Sorrow
The Muslims were able to return to Makkah eventually. Many of them were in bad shape and sick. Most of their houses had holes in them and weeds and plants growing on to them. There businesses were demolished and most had very few to no wealth. Shortly after returning Abu Talib passed away. Khadija was very weak herself, always caring for others more than herself and also died, a short while after the death of the Uncle. Muhammad (SAW) became saddened and named this year: The Year of Sorrow…
What is the book called?
The story of Khadija (RA) The First Muslim and the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
Who is the book author?
Saniyasnain Khan
Do You Recommend this book?
Yes. It is very clear and tells the story as if you are there. Khadijah (RA) was a very important figure in Islam, especially for Muslim girls and women. She is a great role model for us and we should read about her life and her personality as a wife, a mother, a friend, and above all as a Muslimah. She took her submission and responsibilities to Allah very seriously and dedicated her life to serving the cause of Islam!

Asalamu'alaikum,
Yes! He was the first man to accept Islam, Alhamdulillah. He was a great Sahabah RA. This blog was about a book review on Khadijah RA, so we added details about her and her standing in Islam as the Wife of our Prophet Muhammad SAW, the Mother of the Believers, and as one of the blessed women promised Paradise.

By JOSE M. ROMEROAssociated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. —
The Minnesota Wild are showing signs of sorting things out after a rocky start to the season.
Ryan Hartman scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and Minnesota rallied with three straight goals to beat the Arizona Coyotes 4-3 Saturday night.
Jared Spurgeon had two assists, including a long pass from the corner to Hartman at 4:54 of the third. Mikko Koivu, Kevin Fiala and Matt Dumba also scored, and Devan Dubnyk stopped 31 shots for the Wild.
"We showed some great character in being able to come back and keep ourselves in the game," Hartman said. "We were able to find a way, and I think that's been our identity, is finding ways to get ahead in these last couple of games and play ourselves into some opportunities for us."
Michael Grabner and Jakob Chychrun put Arizona ahead 2-0 in the first period and Vinnie Hinostroza also scored. Darcy Kuemper made 20 saves.
Minnesota has won two of three to improve to 6-10-1 while playing a road-heavy start to their schedule.
"We haven't won as many as we'd like to obviously," Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. "But the attitude is always ... the next day they build themselves up and they compete."
Arizona has lost three in a row for the first time this season.
Grabner's fifth goal of the season came at 8:50 of the first period. Defenseman Aaron Ness floated a pass to Grabner, and the puck hit Grabner's skate as he tried to control it, sliding slowly past Wild defenders and Dubnyk.
Ness picked up his first point as a Coyote with the assist.
Chychrun scored 90 seconds later for his fourth goal of the season, the product of Nick Schmaltz digging the puck off the boards and a pass from Christian Dvorak.
The Wild rallied in the second period with three goals for a 3-3 tie at the second intermission.
Minnesota's Zach Parise hit the post on the Wild's only power play and Koivu fired in a rebound seconds later at 3:19.
The Coyotes went up by two goals again when Hinostroza sent in a right-handed wrist shot at 8:20.
Fiala stuffed in a loose puck at 13:04 to make it 3-2, and the Wild drew even with 49.7 seconds left right after Dubnyk denied Hinostroza on a breakaway. Jason Zucker passed the puck out from behind the Coyotes' net, and Dumba's slap shot was too fast for Kuemper.
"It takes more than just being a good team to win," Kuemper said. "You've got to stay detailed and remember it's little things that make us successful. It seemed like we went up a little bit and we got away from our game plan."
"We played the right way without the puck in the third period," Boudreau said.
Kuemper went to the bench with under two minutes to play, but the Coyotes couldn't force overtime despite a 6-on-4 situation for the final 12.9 seconds.
"We're giving up some chances in the slot that we didn't the first 10 or 11 games," Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. "We've got to buckle down here. We're in control of the game, and we just give them life. We need some individuals to play better.
"We've given away six points here this last week. It's disheartening," Tocchet added.
NOTES: Arizona's Eric Comrie, who has been an emergency backup goaltender this season and has yet to appear in a game, was assigned to the AHL Tucson Roadrunners for conditioning purposes. ... D Jason Demers missed his second straight game due to a lower body injury, but C Brad Richardson and D Jordan Oesterle were back in the lineup. Oesterle started and logged an assist. Richardson had missed seven straight games with an upper body injury. ... Wild C Luke Kunin was scratched due to illness just before the game, and F Marcus Foligno was also scratched with an injury.
Minnesota: At Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
Arizona: At Washington on Monday night.

BkiUfyA5qhLByVBy2GMh | There are approximately 10% of college grads who secure their dream jobs each year. This really is because there are lots of college graduates who have not earned the right degree or lack adequate expertise to work for the business companies. The possible lack of suitable IT training together with the burden to repay their instruction loans forces the college grads to quit their fantasies of getting technology occupations. The world hits them hard, and they have been compelled to work for small scale food franchises where they flip hamburger patties provided they reside and work double shifts for a few dollars more.

There are lots of training facilities that offer the college grads with such IT instruction, but CSSTEC is one such prime institute, which has been supplying everyone with effective industrial power instruction in big-data and Hadoop.

With traditional Datawarehousing techniques unable to cope-up with Volume of the information (dimensions of PETA bytes and EXA bytes), Variety of information (Structured, unstructured and semi-structured data with information flowing in from net of stuff (IOT) , such as twitter feeds, web server logs, Instagram info, email, mobile information, audio files, movie documents, gaming data, social media information for example face novel ), Velocity of data (Real time is the vogue of the day, Quick data is appreciated and is a prerequisite), Variability of data (Huge batches of information can arrive any time), Industries have to grapple with the process and have found the response in Hadoop Echo system.

And this is precisely what you will find at the CSSTEC. | c4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdeE5qhDBdYuXfU-C | Local representative seeks stiffer punishment for peeping
Steve Garrison The Daily Times
The Daily Times
FARMINGTON — State Rep. Sharon Clahchischilliage has pre-filed legislation that she said will help strengthen New Mexico's voyeurism laws.
The bill by the Kirtland Republican would change the criminal statutes governing voyeurism to allow prosecutors to charge individuals who attempt to view or record the intimate areas of a child of another person without that person's consent.
Under current law, there is no penalty if a person attempts to peep on an adult without their consent, and attempting to record or view a child's intimate areas is only a misdemeanor offense.
Clahchischilliage's bill would make attempted peeping on an adult a misdemeanor. Attempted peeping on a child would be a fourth-degree felony offense, punishable by up to 18 months in prison and $5,000 in fines.
Clahchischilliage said in an interview that she worked with the New Mexico Children, Youth and Family Department to craft the bill.
A similar bill was introduced at the last legislative session. It passed the House by a unanimous vote, but died in the state Senate.
"There have been instances where a person has been watching an adolescent, and the law is not tight enough to punish those people," she said.
Eric Hansen, a father of two young girls, spoke on behalf of the bill in the last legislative session because of his own experiences with what he called a "weak law."
He said in an interview that in March 2010, his 13-year-old daughter was wearing nothing but a towel when she spotted someone staring through her bedroom window.
He said he went into her room and saw his next-door neighbor "pressed against the glass with his eyes cupped by his hands."
He chased the neighbor off and called Las Cruces police.
They investigated, but determined that the only law the neighbor violated was a trespassing ordinance.
Hansen said officers determined that since the neighbor had not actually viewed the girl's intimate areas, the state's voyeurism law did not apply.
"My daughter had just stepped out of the shower, and she was wrapped in a towel," he said. "But for the fact that she put on a towel, that was the only thing that kept him from being a felon. If I had not intervened, he would have completed the felony offense."
CYFD spokesman Henry Varela said in an email that his department became involved in the issue as a result of Hansen's case.
"Trying to look at a naked child in the privacy of their own home through a window is clearly a sexually motivated offense and should be treated as such," Varela said.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Dustin O'Brien of the San Juan County District Attorney's Office said in his experience local prosecutors have not had many issues with the current voyeurism law.
He said District Attorney Rick Tedrow recently met with lawmakers to discuss other potential changes to criminal statutes, including the laws governing drunken driving and felony murder.
Clahchischilliage said she was receptive to increasing the penalties for drunken driving.
"It is a big issue right now," she said. "We are going to work with the DA more on this to see what we can do."

BkiUd7LxaL3Suji9iLRt | Alphabet have worked with Company B (now Belvoir) since 2002. This selection represents the work produced with the then Artistic Director, Neil Armfield. Neil's approach to theatre as a being, in essence, a hand-made art form was expressed through the design. The tactile and intimate nature of telling stories in Belvoir's corner stage informed the approach to the image-making and typography. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdlg5qWTBLg9oTZDR | I have been working on this graphite study of a Scots Pine for some months. It is the only British native tree used for timber production. It has now been submitted for an exhibition of British native plants organised by the Association of British Botanical Artists which is to take place next May at Lancaster University. I will not know if it has been shortlisted until later in December. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdoDxK7IAHL_U9G39 | U.S. tech firm Maxar taps startup's software for moon mission
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – (This October 22 story has been refiled to correct headline to say software rather than robotics, first paragraph to clarify that the Olis software would run on a Maxar robotic arm, paragraphs 2 and 3 to state that the robotic arm belongs to Maxar, and paragraph 4 to remove reference to Olis building the robotic arm)
U.S. technology company Maxar Technologies Inc said it picked software developed by space startup Olis Robotics to run on a robotic arm of a lunar lander under NASA's broader goal of human moon missions by 2024.
Maxar's robotic arm dubbed SAMPLR, which is attached to an unnamed lunar lander bound for a mission to the moon by around 2022, will use the software to compensate for the extreme communication delays between Earth and the moon, planning robotic maneuvers on its own to fetch samples from the lunar surface.Maxar is building the robotic arm and Olis is engineering the accompanying software, one partnership of many in NASA's program to send lunar rovers to the moon before humans get there in 2024.Olis says its software and machine learning algorithms - allowing the robotic arm to operate like a video game console by engineers sitting at desks – enables remote-controlled space exploration and manufacturing that is otherwise too costly or dangerous for humans to handle in person.
Such technology, used for years by oil and gas companies or undersea researchers, is central to futuristic ambitions of humans living and working in space, the company says.
That vision is shared by senior NASA officials as well as billionaire Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin space company.
NASA is racing to send a crew of U.S. astronauts to the moon by 2024, an accelerated timeline set by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence in March.
The space agency's Artemis program calls for privately built lunar landers, robotic rovers and the Lunar Gateway – a modular space station in orbit around the Moon with living quarters for astronauts, a lab for science and ports for visiting spacecraft.
Westminster, Colorado-based Maxar was the first contractor selected by NASA in May to help build a propulsion module for the Gateway platform.
