BkiUdNo5qdmC89dsc4Qw | PLA Navy holds first simulated flight contest of teen aviation cadets
Participants compete in the first simulated flight contest of teen aviation cadets hosted by PLA Navy.
BEIJING, Nov.27 -- The PLA Navy Pilot Recruitment Office and the PLA Naval Aviation University recently co-hosted the first simulated flight contest of teen aviation cadets, with 39 members of 13 teams participating.
The contest was divided into three parts, the CJ-6 trainer contest on visual flight rule (VFR), the Su-27 fighter race on ultra-low altitude flight skills, and the Su-33 fighter carrier landing and takeoff challenge.
Naval elite pilots were invited to be the judges, who evaluated the participants' spatial awareness, eye-hand coordination, reaction and judgment, operation accuracy, and other flight-related capabilities based on their flight simulators' operation to carry out such subjects as takeoff, landing, turning and racing.
The contest was live-streamed on the internet. About 50,000 netizens watched the contest and participated in the PLA Navy's interactions for pilot recruitment.
After fierce competition, the Shuangliu Tanghu Middle School, a teen aviator school in China's Sichuan Province, won first prize for groups and three individual first prizes, while teams from other teen aviator schools also performed superbly during the contest.
It is learned that the PLA Navy has been making more efforts for the development of teen aviator schools in recent years. It has carried out a series of targeted activities, including simulated flight, real-equipment flight experience, and aviation summer camps, to enhance the quality and efficiency of aviation education at the teen aviator schools.
So far, more than 240 aviation cadets from the PLA Navy's teen aviator program have been admitted by the PLA Naval Aviation University, providing ample talents for the development of the PLA Naval aviators' pool.

BkiUdHA5qWTBD5_PkyT8 | The An-Tai Tower, also known as Taiwan Research Institute Building (), is a skyscraper office building located in Tamsui District, New Taipei, Taiwan. The height of the building is and it comprises 31 floors above ground. The building was completed in 2002. It houses the Taiwan Research Institute (:zh:臺灣綜合研究院), hence the alternative name.
Incidents
On July 8, 2008, a man with surname Ma, who had a master's degree in electrical engineering from Northwestern University, was dissatisfied with his girlfriend who had been with him for three years but wanted to break up. He brutally cut his girlfriend's eyes and nose, destroyed her face, before eventually cutting her throat. He then broke into the famous An-Tai Tower and committed suicide by jumping from the top of the 31st floor, which is 130 meters high. The policemen who arrived there tried to stop him, but the man was determined to die and broke free. After he fell, Ma's head burst open on the spot and his brain overflowed, causing his death. This was a shock to Taiwanese society and caused great alarm as the office of the former Taiwanese president Lee Teng-hui was located in this very building at the time.

BkiUciDxK19JmhArCz5D | As parents, there's nothing we want more than for our children to be both happy and healthy. When it comes to our children's relationship with food, we acknowledge that there are many powerful place where healthy and happy intersect. But If our child is struggling with food because it leaves them with a tummy ache, or headache, it certainly will impact how happy they are. And If our child is struggling because they don't feel good in their body due to unwanted weight, it dims their appreciation for their body and harms a healthy body image. If your child is hooked on refined sugars and processed foods, there's no doubt that their mood will be negatively impacted.
Sometimes it may seem that the very idea of dinner time is a battleground, but here 4 Ways to help your children be happier with their relationship with food.
"Eat this, don't eat that" does not work well with kids. There is an inner rebel that naturally surfaces and wants the forbidden food. But if we approach them with a challenge that offers the responsibility: "Try these two smoothies and tell me what you think of each one" we're allowing our children to think for themselves about what to eat, how to tune in to their own body, get curious about their food, and avoid getting stuck in food ruts. The words "try" and "choice" open up an inquisitive relationship with food, versus a good/bad relationship with food.
Of course we want our kids to know the difference between high quality food and highly-processed, preservative-loaded foods. We want our kids to know the impact of refined sugar on their body, just as we'd want them to know the impact of whole foods fresh from the farm, on their body. The way to do that is to take them to the farm, or the farmer's market. Show them a video of how food is processed. Educate your kids and yourself at the same time. Grow food savvy kids! Don't be the preacher who knows it all. When we become the holder of the "right" information, it is more than likely that our kids will resist us, and the information. But if we can help them to become mindful, then we can become participants in our children's journey of learning about healthy eating.
Our culture has an idea of what kids like and don't like. We have children's menus and food made into "fun" shapes in the hopes that kids will eat them. But food is inherently interesting. Fruits and vegetables come in a rainbow of colors and shapes. Foods from cultures other than our own are captivating, delicious, and sometimes weird. When we expose our children to all the diversity that food has to offer – without an agenda that they MUST like it – we foster a relationship with food that's based on fun, adventure and curiosity.
4. Be the example, not the lecturer.
Create your own positive, healthy and happy relationship with food and body. We know that kids learn by watching their parents. Your eating habits, and how you feel about your body is a much more powerful nutritional story than what you could ever "teach" your kids about nutrition and positive eating habits. "Be the change you want to see" – as often attributed to Gandhi, is exactly what we want to do when it comes to helping kids have a healthy relationship with food, and all of their life. So, enjoy your food. Deeply nourish and love your body. Your kids will see that and soak in the blueprint for how to have a healthy relationship to their own body.
Supporting our children to have a healthy and positive relationship with their body is worth the time and energy for both our kids and ourselves. When we make our body – essentially our home – a safe haven in this very demanding world of ours, we are creating a foundation of well-being that can be passed down for generations. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbjw4eIZijWzOhvjU | Who's the biggest movie star today? If you say Tom Cruise or Will Smith, it's not because they're the biggest box office draws, but rather because they act like movie stars, and that's because they love being movie stars. It's what they always wanted to be and now that they are they'll do whatever it takes to remain movie stars. It's why they throw themselves so fully into promotion, why they answer every dumb interviewer's question as if it were a matter of life or death, why they spend that extra few minutes with fans and give photographers whatever they ask for. Julia Roberts looks upon reporters the way the rest of see tax auditors, and while Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp do the press conferences, photo sessions are like dentists' appointments, necessary but highly unpleasant. One assumes that they like being movie stars but would prefer the old-fashioned protocols, when personal appearances were purposely limited to preserve the mystery of personality. That model went out with the studio system and the subsequent stars of the 60s and 70s were born too early for the press junket. Tom Cruise was practically born into it. Except for the occasional European who somehow thinks that drilling him about his status as an alpha dog Scientologist counts as serious journalism, the press treats Cruise like a king because he treats them like old pals. Most Hollywood actors as seasoned as Cruise would cringe at the idea of the current whirlwind world press tour to promote Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol — 9 cities in 14 days, and Tokyo was the first. To Cruise, such a schedule is a challenge, something, he'll be quick to tell you, that he thrives on.
Locals may grumble that Tokyo is the only one of these cities that isn't getting a premiere, but actually Cruise did even better: He set up a fan meeting/screening at Roppongi Hills on Dec. 1, probably because he knows more about Japanese fans than most American movie stars. Whenever he's in town to promote a movie, Cruise not only does the press conference, the interviews, and the premiere, all with that huge, sparkly smile and the sincerest form of flattery, but also a few TV shows where he invariably rubs shoulders with local celebrities and not-so-celebrities, happily making just as much of a fool of himself as they do.
Because he, as star and producer, along with director Brad Bird and costar Paula Patton, had to be in Seoul the next day, he didn't have time for the variety shows this trip, so that's why the fan meeting trumped a premiere. I didn't make it to the fan meeting, and not because I'm not a fan, but because I saw the movie that morning and then went to the press conference, and there's only so much Tom Cruise you can take in one day.
There is a big action set piece in the movie where Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, chases some bad guy into a sandstorm in Dubai, but that seems even less of a likely place to be dreaming about going to Tokyo. The illogic even threw off Cruise's interpreter, the estimable but nearing-her-sell-by-date Natsuko Toda, who asked for clarification. "You remember, the sandstorm in the movie," Cruise ribbed her good-naturedly. "Well, of course, I remember," she said, trying to seem amused but looking more like she was being tested. "I did the…" and her voice trailed off as she finished the translation. What she wanted to say was that she did the subtitles, but she certainly wouldn't have wanted to give the impression that she wasn't paying attention (though sometimes her subtitles give exactly that impression).
Director Brad Bird, for some reason picking up on this ludicrous running joke that was so inside only Cruise seemed to get it, added, "I, too, remember the sandstorm. I think it's the first time Tom hasn't had it blown in his face and his eyes. So thank you for not blowing sand in Tom's eyes." Cruise was practically rolling on the floor, which distracted the assembled press from the fact that none of them understood what the hell he was talking about. Patton, who was so thrilled to be sitting with these two powerful Hollywood figures and obviously couldn't stop thinking about what her career might look like in a year, lacked the presence of mind to join in the frivolity and simply pointed out that she wasn't in the scene with the sandstorm.
Maybe what Cruise wanted to say was that, even in a sandstorm, he was enjoying himself immensely. And that's probably the most salient feature of a Tom Cruise press conference, the feeling you get at the end that no one loves his life more than Cruise does. There doesn't seem to be a moment that goes by that Cruise doesn't say to himself, "Boy, I'm having fun being a movie star and I really pity people who aren't me." But fun means hard work, not to mention being creative. These were themes that Cruise would return to again and again. In fact, repetition is Tom Cruise's middle name.
"A couple of months," she answered, overflowing with bubbliness.
In the opening sequence, several members of the Impossible Mission Force have to break Ethan Hunt out of a Russian prison and during the melee that ensues once all the cell doors are opened the tech guy, played by Simon Pegg, blasts Dean Martin over the P.A. system. It truly is one of the more inspired moments in a film that becomes increasingly formula-driven and predictable, and certainly illustrated Bird's feeling about the potential spontaneity of film, though it just as easily could have been put in an animated movie; in fact, the Dean Martin added a welcome touch of cartoony looniness to the film.
"So the short answer to your question," Bird interjected, "is 'Dean Martin'," though at this point most people in the audience had forgotten what the question was — except for Cruise, who was again laughing his head off.

BkiUfRXxK2li-F6Jz2Dd | Formulated and patented by a pediatrician and noted researcher, the speak™ formulation includes seven nutrients in servings and ratios determined to be most effective. SpeechNutrients speak™ contains concentrated, ultra-purified omega-3 in addition to efficacious amounts of two forms of vitamin E. Omega-3 supports a healthy inflammation response while working synergistically with the antioxidant vitamin E to reduce oxidative stress. Optimal amounts of both d-alpha and gamma tocopherols function as key antioxidants and operate with omega-3 fats to support neurological health and provide essential nutrition. Due to the theoretical blood thinning effects of omega-3 and vitamin E, vitamin K (a normal and healthy blood clotting nutrient) is also included. This precise combination of pharmaceutical grade ingredients is delivered in a convenient 2-capsule serving resulting in greater ease of use for parents and children.
SpeechNutrients speak™ contains a patented blend of concentrated and purified omega-3s from fish oil (EPA and DHA), natural vitamin E (d-alpha and gamma tocopherols), Vitamin K (K1 and K2), borage oil (GLA) and natural orange flavor in 1200 mg soft gelatin capsules.
Ingredients:Fish oil concentrate (from sardines, anchovies), d-alpha, gamma and natural tocopherals (derived from refined soybean oil), borage oil, natural orange flavor, phytonadione, menaquinone.
Capsule contents: gelatin, purified water USP, glycerin USP.
If your child is not currently taking omega-3 fish oil or vitamin E supplements: Start with 1 capsule of SpeechNutrients speak™ daily. After 2 weeks increase the serving to 2 capsules daily continuing to increase in 2 week increments until reaching a possible dosage of 6 capsules per day continuing at that dosage going forward. If you believe that your child will benefit from additional supplementation beyond 4 capsules, check with your healthcare provider (e.g.: Medical Doctor, Registered Dietitian, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Naturopathic Doctor, Doctor of Osteopathy).
If your child is already taking individual fish oil and vitamin E supplements: First determine the current serving amount of the active omega-3 (EPA and DHA) and vitamin E (if any) that your child is receiving with the existing supplement* (usually listed clearly on the "Supplement Facts" panel. Be sure to determine the amount per serving or per capsule). This will provide you a baseline from which to start for an equivalent serving. Some families administer both "High EFA" and "High EPA" supplements. Shown below is a chart illustrating the amounts of each ingredient and how 2 capsules of speak provide the essential equivalent to three capsules of the other supplements plus additional nutrients in SpeechNutrients speak™ provide added benefits and nutrient balance, not found in other omega-3 supplements. *Feel free to contact SpeechNutrients at 1-800-471-0358 if you have any questions. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUddk4dbghU_Qx7HLy | Dealing with a know-it-all is usually irritating, but it can also be extremely satisfying. In a world where fake news dominates the headlines, it's more important than ever to be analytical of what people claim to be the truth. Know-it-alls often fail to realize that arguments stemming from willful ignorance of the facts can never be validated. No matter how eloquently something false is put, it will still be inherently false.
The following stories are examples of times when real experts came across a know-it-all who thought they knew better than everyone else. If you find enjoyment in seeing a know-it-all be proven wrong and humbled back to earth from the clouds, then keep reading on—you will not be disappointed.
I was at a bar with a friend of mine and we got to talking with this girl who was there on her 21st birthday. We congratulated her and buy her a drink. Shortly thereafter, we got into a conversation about the populating of South America. She proceeded to arrogantly accuse me of white-washing history. I explained, again, that I'm wasn't, and that there were no human beings on that land until they migrated there.

BkiUd_zxK3YB9ohkNdYG | So sometimes I watch television series or see art or hear music or poetry, and it's in many ways underwhelming. Some potential recent examples are the recent Voltron Force animated series, or this cooking segment on CTV News.
Talent and budget are two considerations. Local television channels want to offer features that larger stations can allocate a lot more funds to, and you can spot the differences. My hometown wants to highlight local artists or music. However, drawing from a smaller pool of people reduces the opportunities to find Wow!
There's that comparison between the best you can find in your tiny community versus the best you can find globally. Thanks to globalisation and technology, we're easily exposed to some of the best writing, art, visual stories (TV :D), and games the world has to offer. It's hard for a village of 700 or a single country of 30 million to compete against the 7 billion in the world.
But even then, expensive, premier content often disappoints, like the Last Airbender movie (alright, sometimes it even offends), and sometimes local work shines (like my favourite Guelph artist), a diamond in the rough.
A lot of signal versus noise. But even the noise I see, awful 'zines a friend publishes or terrible Canadian TV (I think a lot of TV is good) survive and thrive.
Part of the reason, I suppose, is that I'm surprisingly not the ultimate judge of quality. It's not quite objective. Something might be objectively more colourful, but "good", or "better television"? How is Sherlock better than Elementary, or how is Jimmy Fallon better or worse than Conan O'Brien, or Lord of the Rings better than those awful Dungeons and Dragons films, or the Ender's Game book versus the film, or Hemingway's work compared to the barely coherent texts of a twelve year old narcissist? They don't try to be the same thing, and they register differently with different people, with their different priorities and values. To some people, especially less discriminating children, Voltron Force probably seems awesome.
I watched a lot of television when I was a kid and I enjoyed a lot, but if I looked at it now, the animation in particular isn't smooth, it's rough and inconsistent and doesn't represent its subjects well. But I loved it then. It reverberated with me for different reasons. I hadn't learned standards yet, learned to criticise things and dismiss them. I was impressionable.
I miss that, a bit. I've been working for the past couple of years to be able to enjoy things more broadly. To accept limitations and appreciate the limitations, appreciate the choices that had to be made, find meaning in flaws. Other people still appreciate these things, and I don't want to create my own barriers to enjoying life. I've done that enough.
I'm sitting here watching Vision network's Tribal Trails, which focuses on Christian spirituality in native communities, because my dad is watching it. Even if the sound quality isn't great, or the speakers aren't the most eloquent, but in many ways, it's about the best they can do given their resources and skill, so they're trying anyway, and it is meaningful. People's choices, their values, their intentions are visible despite the cracks. I don't want to be distracted by the cracks. I don't want to dismiss someone's thoughts or value or arguments because of negligible typos or awkward grammar (ideas are still successfully communicated; I'm not about to start proof-reading my blogs, after all). When I'm at a martial arts seminar, I don't want the highlights afterward to be the amusing mistakes a sensei might have made, I want it to be fundamental message, though I've heard it before, the particular emphasis from this instance.
I want to still appreciate 'high quality' work, but not at the expense of my enjoyment of the most awful and wretched creations we produce. I don't want to be the source of my own displeasure. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 5 |

When the Mexican Government secularized the missions in the 1830s and 1840s, land grants were given to prominent citizens and Rancho Santa Rosa was given to Don Julian Estrada while Rancho San Simeon was given to Don Jose Ramon Estrada.. Don Julian Estrada and his wife, Dona Nicolasa, built a house near the intersection of Highway One and Forty Six and they opened their home, guest quarters and gardens to accommodate the Catholic ceremonies in the area as local residents had no other place to worship. Priests from Mission San Luis Obispo and from Mission San Miguel celebrated mass and conducted marriages, baptisms and funerals in the Estrada compound.
Following the Mexican-American War, Mexican land grants were surveyed by the American Government and the land between Rancho Santa Rosa and Rancho San Simeon was declared public land. One of the first settlers to enter a claim for this land was Jeffrey Phelan. Both ranchos were divided up and sold to various settlers and a town variously called Slabtown, Santa Rosa, Rosaville and finally Cambria was established. Jeffrey Phelan sold the site of the present day Santa Rosa Chapel and Cemetery to Bishop Tadeo Amat of the Los Angeles-Monterey Diocese for 100 gold coins.
In 1871, the chapel was completed on a high hill overlooking downtown Cambria, the present day east village. The building was constructed of locally grown and milled pine and was dedicated to St. Rose of Lima. Aside from the missions themselves, this was the first Catholic church built in San Luis Obispo County. Priests from both the Mission San Luis Obispo and the Mission San Miguel traveled to Cambria (weather permitting) to conduct services.
Isabella Estrada, daughter of Don Julian and Dona Nicolasa, was buried in the church cemetery in 1888 and today, if you walk through the cemetery, you will see many historic names including Phelan, Estrada, Fiscalini, Cantua, Pereira and Magetti, owners of the "Blue House" on Center Street.
Starting in 1935, Santa Rosa Chapel and St. Joseph Church in Cayucos shared a priest who lived in Cayucos and traveled to Cambria every Sunday. In 1960 Santa Rosa Chapel finally became an independent parish. The last mass at this chapel was celebrated in 1963 for it was in that year that the new church, on Main Street between East and West Village, was completed.
After the new church was opened, the old chapel remained empty and unused for many years. In 1978 a committee led by Clementine Newman was organized to restore it. In 1982 the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places. By 1985 the restoration was complete. Brush and trees had been removed and a fence and gate added. Workers raised and restored the foundation, replaced siding on the north and east sides, installed new window panes and a new floor and replaced much of the wainscoting. They rebuilt the floors, communion rail, confessional, side altars, and the iron fence and gateway at the cemetery. The committee restored curbing around family plots and placed redwood markers on unmarked graves. They bought pews from Holy Cross Church in Santa Cruz and even found the original 1871 altar in a Phelan barn.
Old Santa Rosa Chapel as it stands today
Today, funds are continuously being raised for restoration and maintenance of the chapel by renting it out for weddings and memorial services. Additional funds are raised by the annual polenta dinner and a Christmas program.

BkiUgCzxK6EuNA_gQdbA | How is legal (in)capacity determined in Alberta?
A personal care directive (PCD) is a legal document that enables you to indicate how, why, and by whom your personal care decisions may be made in the event that you cannot make them on your own. In Alberta, your PCD is placed in your Green Sleeve, an advanced care planning document that conveys your wishes regarding medical, resuscitation, and comfort care to your doctors and other medical support staff.
In Alberta, Green Sleeves are often referred to as 'medical passports.' They are green plastic pockets that keep your advance care planning documents in a single, easily accessed place. In an emergency situation, Alberta medical providers can review the contents and know what your wishes are. In Alberta most people keep these green plastic envelopes on the refrigerator door where emergency personnel can grab these documents if you can not express your wishes. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdUDxK6Ot9WA5hnfw | Stay....in downtown Park City for easy access to nightlife, shopping and dining or in the quieter, more family-friendly Canyons Village.
Ski...at a top elevation of 10,026 atop Jupiter Bowl.
Taste…180+ awesome restaurants from pubs and grills to sushi and fine dining.
Treat…yourself to a ritual at the Waldorf Astoria Spa.
Experience…cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snow tubing—a few examples of Park City's many winter activities.
As of 2015-16 ski season, Park City Mountain and Canyons were connected, to create the largest ski resort in the United States. Canyons' staggering 4,000 acres were joined to Park City Mountain Resort via the Quicksilver Gondola, and together the two areas offer 7,300 acres of world-class terrain. This has been an excellent development for skiers looking for a wider variety of lodging and terrain options on a Park City ski vacation. Now skiers and snowboarders can choose between staying in the buzzing, historic downtown Park City or the quieter, slopeside accommodations at Canyons Village with easier access to whichever type of terrain their heart desires.
Learn more about the all new Park City Mountain Resort by reading our "Guide to the Park City Canyons connection."
Park City offers the best of several worlds. It is incredibly easy to get to: just 35 minutes drive/shuttle from Salt Lake City International Airport. It has the most terrain of any ski area in the United States. It has a charming town with a lot of history.
To give you an idea of how big the ski area is - we started at the far end of Canyons Village and worked our way toward Park City. Our group of fast skiers only did one run twice and, by lunch time, we still hadn't crossed over to the "Park City side" of the area. It is immense!
I was very fortunate spend time in Park City this past February and again in June. One of the many things that made this such a memorable experience was the feel of the town. It was lively and interesting. The history of the town is seen everywhere from its days as a booming mining town to it emergence into a top rated ski town. The culture is everywhere. The people were friendly, courteous and extremely welcoming.
If you get an opportunity to ride the mountain coaster, take it, regardless of summer or winter. I did it during both visits and it was a blast! Te resort has something for everyone no matter what you like or what your budget is.
Oh and if you have a chance to get over to Deer Valley visit the St Regis J&G Grill and try the 7452* Bloody Mary. It's amazing and you can adjust to suite your own spiciness with a pipette full of Worcestershire and Tabasco! (7,452 is the resorts altitude). Or stop by the Glitretind Restaurant at the Stein Eriksen for breakfast and indulge in the Chef's signature breakfast - Norwegian Potato and Bacon Pancake with poached egg, cranberries and a Jarlsberg cheese sauce – it was truly heaven in pancake form.
I've really enjoyed Park City during the winter, especially during weekdays when the crowds are a little smaller. Sundance can pack the streets of Old Town, but oftentimes that's a great time to hit the slopes, as most are celebrity spotting or viewing films. There's lots of terrain for beginners and intermediates, as well as plenty of tough trails for experts.
One of the big benefits of Park City Mountain Resort is that it's not just a winter destination! Last week I experienced a few of the activities from a full spectrum of choices - the Alpine Slide and the Alpine Coaster were my favorites - and it was terrific! Definitely a resort to check out during all seasons. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdk84eIOjRst9_RsP | Invite a professional security consultant to visit you at home. They can evaluate your current set up and make suggestions based on your needs. Some companies will do a high pressure sales pitch to get you to commit to their security system right on the spot. If you are not comfortable with inviting a sales consultant into your home, you can conduct consultations over the phone. It is a good idea to meet with at least three companies before you decide which one to go with. During the consultation, you will learn about costs, equipment options, and any contract required. This information can help you decide what will work best for your home.
Wired security systems are wired directly into your home. They do carry a risk because they can be disabled if the burglar cuts the wire. Wired systems also require a landline phone, which many homes no longer have. Wireless security systems on the other hand cannot be disabled this way and are a great option for renters, or people who do not have a landline telephones. The wireless systems work with cell phones, and because they do not need to be hardwired into the home do not cause damage to the walls.
Many security systems have the option to do either a professional installation, or a do-it-yourself installation. Depending on the company you go with, do-it-yourself installation may not be an option, however if you do have that option and you are confident enough in your own ability to install the system it can save you a lot of money. Even if you cannot install the system yourself, you may know someone who would be willing to do it for you at a more affordable cost than professional installation. Ask questions about the installation options during the consultation with each security company you speak to.
While most home security companies selling you a home security system are also selling you their monitoring options, many security systems out there also offer the self-monitoring option. Professionally monitored systems can monitor a number of things, including: break-in, carbon monoxide levels, temperatures and humidity, flooding from a broken pipe or frozen line, smoke and fire, and more. Professionally monitored systems contact you when they notice something out of the ordinary, and will contact the necessary authorities right away.
Self monitoring systems are more affordable, but leave you in charge of monitoring your home security system through your smart phones, tablet, or laptop. The more options included with your security system, the more control you have from your mobile devices. However, in the event of an emergency, you must choose what to do. There is always the chance you will miss the notification, which can make a tremendous difference in the outcome depending on what set the alarm off. Only you can decide the right monitoring options for your home and your budget. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Farmers: Protect conservation, crop insurance but tweak commodity programs
KEYWORDS cotton dairy Debbie Stabenow farm bill kansas Pat Roberts
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2017 - The Senate Agriculture Committee launched its hearings on the new farm bill, hearing from farmers in Kansas who appealed for changes to some commodity programs, new support for cotton growers and continued funding for conservation.
The farmers also expressed opposition to means testing or other restrictions on crop insurance and said that EPA restrictions on pesticides threatened to increase production costs.
Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said that a new farm bill will have to address "all regions and all crops."
"All of agriculture is struggling, not just one or two commodities," he said.
Roberts and ranking member Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., held the hearing at Kansas State University in Manhattan. A second field hearing will be held in Stabenow's home state.
The committee is going to take online comments on the farm bill through March 2 through a link on its web site.
Stabenow used the hearing to note that 37 smaller but "key" farm bill programs have no funding after the current farm bill expires in 2018. They include programs that support bioenergy, rural development and smaller-scale and organic agriculture.
The House Agriculture Committee will hold a series of subcommittee hearings starting next week and continuing into April. Chairman Mike Conaway said at USDA's annual Agricultural Outlook Forum in Arlington, Va., earlier today that he didn't expect to begin moving a farm bill until the fourth quarter of the year or early 2018. Conaway said he didn't want to have his committee act on a bill until he knows there is time to debate it on the House floor.
All of the 18 witnesses at the Senate committee's hearing were from Kansas, but in many cases they were speaking for national as well as state groups. Farmers in Kansas are struggling with similar price challenges as producers elsewhere.
The top 50 to 60 percent of producers are showing minor profitability or at least holding their own, said Gena Ott, a financial officer with Frontier Farm Credit in Emporia, but the bottom 15 to 20 percent face higher debt loads and higher costs of production.
Kenneth Wood, president of the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers, said that "low prices and rising costs are placing even more stress" on farmers. He said that crop insurance was the "most important segment" of the federal safety net. Restrictions on crop insurance that have been proposed by program critics would discourage participation and "make crop insurance more expensive for all of us," he said.
One proposal that critics are likely to press when the new farm bill is debated would reduce premium subsidies for higher income growers.
Other producers raised specific issues faced by growers of their commodities.
Tom Lahey, a cotton grower from Moscow, Kansas, told the senators that cotton should be made eligible for the Price Loss Coverage and Agriculture Revenue Coverage programs. Unlike other crops that can participate in those programs, cotton is "exposed to the full market impact," said Lahey.
USDA study: Insurance conservation rule helps protect fragile land
Farm bill upgrades commodity programs, boosts most conservation initiatives
Farm groups urge lawmakers, Cabinet members to protect crop insurance
Cotton growers opted out of the commodity programs in 2014 in return for creation of a revenue insurance policy, called Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX), but producers say there is little chance for them to get payments now that cotton prices have stabilized at a relatively low level.
Corn and soybean growers asked the senators to address disparities in ARC payments between counties. The farmers said the farm bill should require the Farm Service Agency to use the Risk Management Agency's yield data when available for calculating ARC payments, rather than survey data from the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
"That would go a long way in leveling the playing field from county to county," said Kent Moore, a farmer from Iuka who chairs the Kansas Corn Commission.
Lynda Foster, a dairy producer from Fort Scott, said changes that were made to the Margin Protection Program before it was enacted in 2014 reduced its benefit to farmers.
The National Milk Producers Federation prepared a formula for calculating average feed costs that was cut 10 percent in the final bill, she said. As a result, the margin between prices and feed costs appeared larger than it should have been.
From May through June 2016, USDA calculated the MPP margin at $5.76 per hundredweight, while the original feed formula would have put it at $4.77. That smaller margin calculation would have allowed "a much larger group of financially-stressed producers to benefit from MPP," she said in her prepared testimony.

Beef and pork producers who testified at the hearing opposed the interim final rule issued by the Grain Inspection and Packers and Stockyards Administration in December. The rule is intended to aid producers in challenging processor contracting and buying practices, but the Kansas producers said it would be an unnecessary interference in livestock markets.
Michael Springer, a pork producer from Independence, also said the farm bill needed to fund a vaccine bank for ensuring the U.S. industry could stop an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. "We need the capacity to produce enough vaccine to quickly control and eradicate the disease," he said.
There was broad agreement among the producers on continued funding for conservation programs, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
Cameron Peirce, a sunflower grower from Hutchinson, said EQIP funding encouraged no-till farming, which often uses that crop. EQIP should be maintained at current funding levels, he said.

BkiUcGnxK7FjYAb_58Yy | Natural gas has been discovered in a part of the North Sea—an area that up until now, had slim chances of containing reserves.
Norway's energy regulator, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), said the subsidiary of the French Major Total located the reserves while wildcat drilling in the northeast part of the Martin Linge field, and initial estimates show that there could be 388 million barrels of oil equivalent. Tests on the well produced gas at a rate of 84 million cubic feet per day. The Norwegian government approved the development plan for the Martin Linge field in 2012. In 2012, Total said that development of the Martin Linge would represent a $4.2 billion investment.
The objective of Total's operation in the Martin Linge had been to prove petroleum in the Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks, and it was during this work that Total found gas and condensate in the Tarbert, Ness, and Etive formations that had good reservoir quality.
Norway is a major source of oil and gas for the European economy. The Norwegian government indicated that its estimates for production during the month of August were down compared to prior months, but added that it was better than anticipated with the closure of some fields. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

La ligue offre les catégories Senior masculin (deux divisions), Senior féminin, U-18 masculin et féminin, U-16 masculin et féminin, U-15 masculin et féminin, et U-14 masculin et féminin. En 2007, chaque division compte de 7 à 12 équipes, et il y a 100 équipes au total.
Le calibre de la LSÉQ est identifié comme « AAA », c'est-à-dire le niveau le plus élevé au Québec. Le calibre « AA » correspond aux ligues régionales, et le calibre « A » aux ligues récréatives ou locales.
La saison se déroule de début mai à fin septembre, et est suivie par des séries éliminatoires qui se déroulent en octobre et qui déterminent le champion du Québec dans chaque catégorie. Cependant, les champions de catégories n'ont plus de chances, depuis 2007, de représenter le Québec en Championnat canadien des clubs, cet honneur revenant au vainqueur de la Coupe du Québec Saputo AAA.
Promotion et relégation
À partir de 2007, les équipes qui participent à la catégorie U-14 sont choisies selon les résultats des championnats U-13 joués l'année précédente dans différentes régions du Québec.
Dans la catégorie senior, les équipes qui terminent aux deux derniers rangs peuvent être remplacées par les équipes ayant remporté l'or ou l'argent en Coupe du Québec AA, selon les résultats des matchs de barrage et si des conditions d'admissibilité sont respectées.
Histoire
La LSÉQ a été formée en 1992 par le regroupement de quelques ligues régionales, principalement de la région de Montréal.

On Record – Orion Weiss: Arc 1: Granados, Janáček & Scriabin (First Hand Records)
Granados Goyescas Op.11 (1911)
Janáček In the Mists (1912)
Scriabin Piano Sonata no.9 in F major Op.68, 'Black Mass' (1913)
Orion Weiss (piano)
First Hand Records FHR127 [74'51"]
Producer David Frost; Engineer Silas Brown
Recorded 22-24 May 2014 at SUNY Purchase Performing Arts Center, New York
First Hand Records issues the first instalment of another planned trilogy (see also The Future is Female with Sarah Cahill), the Arc series being a traversal by Orion Weiss across a century of piano music with intermittent forays into conceptually related pieces by earlier composers.
What's the music like?
Focussing on music from before the First World War, this first volume is dominated (at least in terms of length) by Goyescas – the cycle of piano evocations in which Granados both paid homage to the illustrious Spanish artist, while extending the potential for large-scale formal design associated primarily with Liszt. That the composer subsequently transformed this into a one-act opera says much for the original's motivic interconnections, such as Weiss further emphasizes throughout an interpretation in which characterization and cohesion are as one.
The listener is guided from teasing melodic interplay in Flattery, via the (mostly) confiding intimacy of Conversation at the Window then encroaching fear of separation in Fandango by Candlelight and its pained experiencing in Laments, or The Maiden and the Nightingale. A tragic climax arrives in the ballade Love and Death; after which, Serenade of the Ghost offers an ironic epilogue. Weiss renders this methodical yet visceral sequence with no mean insight, drawing out that pathos seldom far beneath the surface of Granados's mature music.
If the Spanish composer was realizing his vision despite – or even because of – his success as composer and performer, In the Mists finds Janáček combating those vicissitudes of personal and professional failure. Hence the tonally and expressively oblique nature of its initial three sections, such as Weiss articulates with notable emphasis on their volatile mood-swings and frequent welling-up of emotion. All of this is duly thrown into relief by the final Presto with its gradual yet, as here, inexorable tendency towards ultimate fragmentation and dissolution.
Much has been written over the past century about those occult and even satanic connotations of Scriabin's Ninth Sonata, whose Black Mass subtitle was only added after the event and at the prompting of another. Once again, it is the harnessing of such fluid and increasingly violent expression to a formal follow-through as precise as it is fastidious which gives this music its uniqueness. Weiss ensures an audibly cumulative build-up that, in the closing stages, achieves a claustrophobic intensity which could be considered liberating or annihilating as one prefers.
Does it all work?
Yes. Although it is not hard to locate alternative recordings for each of these pieces of at least comparable value, their juxtaposition within this context makes for a programme absorbing in its overt contrasts yet satisfying in its overall cohesion. Whether or not Weiss has performed this in recital, the trajectory towards an even greater self-absorption and inward intensity feels as inescapable as the presentiments of world conflict which lie behind much of what is heard here. Future volumes will doubtless offer a changing perspective and maybe a 'way forward'.
Is it recommended?
It is. The sound has a lucidity and detail ideal for piano music from this period, with Weiss's annotations succinct but also pertinent to his interpretations. This series is a notable addition to his extensive discography, further information about which can be accessed at his website.

Scriabin at 150
Posted on January 6, 2022 by arcanafm
Today marks 150 years since the birth of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, one of the most colourful characters in 20th century music – and one of the most original thinkers too.
A lot of that thinking went beyond his music to embrace the universe itself, culminating in the unfinished Mysterium project. This hugely ambitious concept was to be performed in the Himalayas and followed by the end of the world.
That gives an indication of the scope of the composer's thinking, and you can trace that in his music too, which moves from Chopin-influenced piano works to increasingly complex and dense music, notable for its rich harmony and unusual rhythms. As Scriabin's music progressed so did his fascination with colour and in particular synaesthesia, which became a primary stimulation for him in his writing.
Arcana intends to look at his work in more detail this year, particularly the ten piano sonatas which stand as a fascinating and innovative cycle of work. For now, though, you can enjoy Prometheus: The Poem Of Fire. Depending on your viewpoint, this tone poem, set in the composer's favourite key of F sharp major, could be Scriabin's Symphony no.5, or a second piano concerto. Either way it is an exotic, unbroken piece of music lasting nearly 25 minutes, rich in colour and certainly rewarding repeated listening!
In February 2010 Anna Gawboy, a Scriabin scholar and doctoral candidate at the Yale School of Music, attempted to realize the composer's ultimate wish of a colour keyboard which would perform the work. She worked towards this with conductor Toshiyuki Shimada, the Yale Symphony Orchestra and the lighting designer Justin Townsend.

On record: Vassilis Varvaresos – V for Valse (Aparté)

Ravel La Valse (1920)
Rosenthal Carnaval de Vienne (1889)
Schumann Faschingsschwank aus Wien Op.26 (1838)
Scriabin Waltz in A flat major Op.38 (1903)
Tchaikovsky Valse sentimentale Op.51/6 (1882)
Aparté AP172 [61'31"]
Producer / Engineer Pierre Fenouillat
Recorded 22 & 24 July 2017 by Little Tribeca at Hotel de l'Industrie, Paris
The first recital disc from Greek pianist Vassilis Varvaresos, winner at the 2016 Enescu Competition, and already heard on Schubert's Winterreise with Dimitris Tiliakos as well as works for violin and piano by Schumann and Richard Strauss with Noe Inui (both on Navis Classics).
In an interesting conceptual ploy, the Valse (Waltz) has been taken as basis for an overview of almost a century's piano music – during the course of which, keyboard virtuosity veered away from uninhibited display to reinforcing the emotional complexity of the piece at hand.
Varvaresos starts his recital in media res with Liszt's First Mephisto Waltz – the touchstone for a virtuosity fused with psychological complexity, rendered here with a combination of technical brilliance and emotional understatement as extends right to the scintillating final bars. The seventh from his Soirées de Vienne, a set of Valses-Caprices after Schubert, finds Liszt in more equable if hardly less resourceful mood, not least in the way he channels his borrowed ideas into a study as subtle formally as it is poetic and affectionate expressively.
A further highlight is Faschingsschwank aus Wien, last of Schumann's piano cycles from his first full decade of creativity and one which tends to be overlooked in the context of several more innovative predecessors. Its outer movements can run the risk of mindless display, but this is never an issue for Varvaresos, who leavens their boisterousness with almost Classical objectivity. This applies equally to the three central movements, not least a Romanza whose poise and inwardness uncannily anticipate the piano miniatures of its composer's last years.
Tchaikovsky's piano output remains relatively neglected, so it was astute of Varvaresos to include his Valse sentimentale, last in a set of six pieces which point up his indebtedness in this medium to earlier models (notably Schumann), yet whose melodic eloquence is wholly characteristic. Scriabin's Waltz in A flat makes for a telling foil, its melody line diffused into a harmonic radiance which blurs the expected tonal focus with teasing playfulness. Here, as throughout this programme, the suppleness of Varvaresos's pedalling is of the highest order.
Discretion is hardly to be expected of an archetypal virtuoso such as Maurice Rosenthal, yet his Carnaval de Vienne is a riotous humoresque on themes by Johann Strauss II that makes a fittingly uproarious encore (as Varvaresos demonstrated at last year's Enescu Festival). The virtuosity of Ravel's La Valse is of an altogether more speculative manner, but this account makes a virtue of such ambiguity as this plays out across a structure audacious in its formal design and unnerving in its emotional follow-through – not least those fateful closing pages.
Very much so. Varvaresos is evidently among a younger generation of pianists for whom virtuosity is neither to be played up to nor fought shy of; but rather placed at the service of the music in question so its salient qualities can more fully be appreciated and savoured.
Indeed. The sound is ideal in its realism and immediacy, with Jean-Yves Clement's fanciful note complemented by a photo which looks rather like a still from an Alain Resnais film. An auspicious release by a pianist from whom much can be expected. V for Varvaresos indeed!

On record: David Gordon Trio – Alexander Scriabin's Ragtime Band (Mister Sam Records)
Posted on March 9, 2016 by arcanafm
Alexander Scriabin died in Moscow at Easter 1915 – unaware that, over the Atlantic, Israel Baline (Irving Berlin) had hit pay-dirt with Alexander's Ragtime Band. The David Gordon Trio here ventures into that potent realm in which 'musics' meet in place as so often in time.
Praeludium Mysterium evokes Scriabin's unrealized Himalayan extravaganza in pensive yet probing terms. Integrating his 'mystic chord' within the harmonic trajectory of Berlin's hit in Alexander Scriabin's Ragtime Band would have given both pause for thought, and Scriabin would surely have been disconcerted by transforming a prelude he never played in public into the incisive modality of Scriabin's Depressed.
Light relief comes with the Debussian high-jinx of Cakewalk, then the engaging Prelude for Both Hands suggests Scriabin could profitably have deployed jazz and dance idioms. Famous Etude unashamedly transforms his most famous piece into a rumba, with Antonio María Romeu's danzón Tres Lindas Cubanas a trailblazing number that was hardly less influential on both its listening and dancing public.
Onward to the bluesy sequences of Nuances that suggest Bill Evans as a future acolyte, then the tensile Choro Mazurka gives a Brazilian twist to this most favoured dance of Scriabin's output. Francisco Canaro's tango El Pollito vividly overcomes the musical distance between Moscow and Buenos Aires, with the ethereal Rootless Sonata delving further into a putative Scriabin/Evans union.
Comparable possibilities are pursued with the hard-bopping rhythms of Improbable Hip, followed by the limpid piano study that is Pixinguinha's Passínha and which opened-up the potential of choro music for non-Brazilian audiences. The programme closes with the diffusion of a mazurka into the caressing harmonies of River, most notable for those myriad timbral shades of which the synatheist Scriabin would surely have approved.
Yes, because the David Gordon Trio is unafraid to stick out its collective neck in pursuit of a singular fusion. Hopefully it will further investigate the bringing together of artists diverse in aim yet kindred in spirit: maybe a Boulez/Bowie synthesis as a fitting double 'in memoriam'?
Absolutely, as those who missed the trio's memorable recent gig at London's 606 Club can judge for themselves. Check out the David Gordon Trio website and also Mister Sam Records for previous releases from this thought-provoking jazz outfit.

On record: Stephen Hough plays Scriabin & Janáček: Sonatas & Poems
Two of the giants of the piano from the twentieth century lock horns in Stephen Hough's newest release for Hyperion – which actually brings together recordings made in 2011 and 2013. Scriabin and Janáček complement each other as they both explore rich variants of tonal writing – and in Scriabin's case, leave tonality altogether.
Alexander Scriabin has an output almost entirely based around the piano, which became his primary means of expression. Within that, Scriabin seems to have loved the black keys and in particular F sharp, around which many of his works are centred. The Piano Sonata no.4 and Piano Sonata no.5 both reside in that key, although both make frequent and increasingly exotic bids for freedom, part of the mystical style the composer was working towards.
In Vers la Flamme (Towards the Flame) he reaches his goal, making a complete break with tonality in music that seems to be flying through the air – apt, really, as Scriabin believed in the concept of levitation. Here he conveys it in musical form.
By contrast the piano music of Leoš Janáček has a remote but incredibly intense form of intimacy that can at times be truly disconcerting. The music of Book I of On an Overgrown Path is fraught with anxiety but also has astonishing power, and it has eerie premonitions of death – the fate tragically befalling the composer's daughter Olga, who lost her life to typhoid in 1903.
The Piano Sonata '1.X.1905, From the street' has an equally tragic genesis, and would have been lost completely had the pianist Ludmila Tucková not copied two of its movements before Janáček lobbed them into the Vltava river. The date is that of the death of Frantisek Pavlík, a Moravian carpenter killed by Austrian forces for his support of a Czech-speaking university.
Yes. Stephen Hough gets right inside the worlds of these two differing but complementary composers. He gives a frankly astonishing account of Scriabin's Piano Sonata no.5, notable for its total technical command. This can also be applied to Vers la Flamme, where the fiendish trills reveal a work right on the edge.
Meanwhile the Janáček works thrive on the same levels of clarity, and the vivid picture painting in a piece such as The barn owl has not flown away!, from On an Overgrown Path Book I, lingers long in the memory. Meanwhile the latent anger in the Sonata is undimmed.
Without reservation. Stephen Hough is a superb pianist and musician, and plays these works with a command and clarity beyond the reach of most pianists.

Owning commercial property can be rewarding both financially and emotionally. However, while being a commercial landlord may come with certain benefits, it is often fraught with challenges. It is common to experience some legal issues during the course of your ownership.

Purchasing real estate is a big expense. It is imperative that you have everything in order when you make this purchase. One thing to remember is the importance of some of the paperwork in these cases. We recently discussed some of the disclosures that are required in Florida. When any requisite disclosures are missing, there is a chance this omission could lead to legal action.
On behalf of Allan P. Whitehead of Frese, Whitehead, Anderson, Anderson & Heuston, P.A. posted in Breach Of Contract on Friday, September 21, 2018.
Florida homeowners buy insurance coverage for their home because -- in addition to providing a roof over their heads -- it usually represents the single most valuable possession they have. Homeowners insurance policies exist to protect real estate investments and prevent homeowners from losing their homes in the event of an unexpected calamity.
What disclosures must all Florida property owners make?
On behalf of Allan P. Whitehead of Frese, Whitehead, Anderson, Anderson & Heuston, P.A. posted in Real Estate Litigation on Wednesday, September 19, 2018.
When a seller is looking to generate interest in their property, they often make concessions to move the process along. They may offer to make repairs or to upgrade appliances, to pay closing costs or homeowners' association fees or offer a home warranty. Others simply competitively price their homes. While these can help get a home sold, sellers are required to make certain disclosures as required under Florida law. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdqzxaKgQHaLUvfh2 | Move over exercise. It seems like taking a lot of vitamin C supplements can mimic the same effect. How is this possible?
A study presented at the 14th International Conference on Endothelin: Physiology, Pathophysiology and Therapeutics, showed that taking in vitamin C supplements is just like exercising. Weight loss and physical activity is important for those who are suffering from obesity, and those that need to maintain their weight.
Unfortunately, only half of those with diagnosed obesity and who are overweight can follow the prescribed exercise regimen. So this is how intake of vitamin C supplements can help those who need to lose weight and cannot do exercises.
How is vitamin C intake able to help the obese and overweight? To make it simple, the blood vessels of those obese and overweight adults are prone to becoming smaller and constriction. This is because of the high ET-1 activity (I know, too scientific). Now, exercising has been effective in reducing this ET-1 activity, which will not make the blood vessels constricted.
But not everyone finds it easy to exercise. So researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder, experimented on vitamin C supplements. They found that daily intake of vitamin C, at least 500 mg/day, time-released, significantly lowered ET-1-activity.
So if you want to have healthy blood vessels and mimic the same effects of exercising, eat lots of vitamin C and take supplements.
Can You Make Up For Lack Of Sleep?
Adult coloring: are there health benefits?
Avoid depression by eating more fruits and vegetables!
This is convincing and although it doesn't have much of a scientific basis, it's good to know that my daily effort of taking vitamin c supplements aren't wasted.
I don't take vitamin c but I know I get my vitamin c from fruits and vegetables. I don't exercise too but I do eat healthy. My body isn't as fit as others who work out, but I'm within a healthy BMI.
I'm going to start taking vitamin c as well. I know it's no excuse to not exercise, but at least there are alternatives for people who really can't afford to do much physical activities.?
Yes, I better start taking them too. There are a lot of brands available in the pharmacy.
I don't know what ET-1 means. You could have at least explained.
This is foolish. Nothing could ever replace exercise. This is a silly excuse for people just so they can stay fat.
Beware of some supplements though, and if by any chance you are going to use vitamin c in order to reduce obesity, anyone isn't allowed to take more than 1,000mg of it. It will deplete your body of other nutrients.
True, the safest is 500mg which is the usual dosage for 1 vitamin c tablet.
Sounds fishy. I do take my supplements daily so I'd like to think that it's been boosting my immune system and reducing obesity too.
Guys, let me just remind you that it's not about taking supplements. The video also talks about foods that are rich in vitamin C. Personally, I don't like supplements. I'd rather eat whole foods. It's healthier and I'm sure that it's safer too..
There won't be any better alternatives to exercise. Even if vitamin C produces a somehow similar effect, the muscles and the way your heart is strengthened by cardio won't ever be replaced by anything else. | c4 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |

When we started international recruitment, I was told that it was hard, we wouldn't be able to recruit people, it would take ages before people came, and there would be a high attrition rate. Within three months of starting our first campaign, three new recruits joined us. Since commencing in September 2018, 209 international recruits have arrived at the Trust. All recruits passed the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) within six to nine months and have stayed with us. The nurses have been excellent and really helped the stability rate at the Trust. Before we commenced, our medicine division had a vacancy rate of 22%. This is now down to 11% and the atmosphere of stability in the wards is palpable. I have really enjoyed working with the team and have built an excellent relationship with King's Commercial which will hopefully be in place for many years to come.

BkiUa4bxK1fBGwCLKd8r | Leaky pipes and standing water aren't the only signs of water damage. Sometimes it's not that obvious. The best way to limit damage is to catch it as soon as possible. Spring showers have only just begun. Make sure to check your home in Westchester or Fairfield Counties periodically for the many common signs of water damage.
If you see puddles of water where it doesn't belong you probably know something is off. However, the source can be unknown. Hidden pipes, appliances and roof damage can all be less obvious sources of water buildup.
Stains on your ceiling are a sure sign of water damage. They're usually caused by a leaky pipe or roof. Be sure to locate the water source and fix the underlying damage before you repair the stain.
Changes in your flooring can be a sure sign of water damage. Look out for any abnormal signs.
When water is in contact with your flooring, it can become warped, cracked or distorted.
Wood flooring is very porous. The planks absorb moisture causing them to expand and shrink.
If your carpets are wet and don't have the opportunity to dry, they can develop mold. Examine your carpet fibers and schedule a professional carpet cleaning if needed.
Tile is durable, but the presence of excess water often causes cracks and distortion.
Mold and mildew are often accompanied by odor. A persistent musty smell could mean that you have a mold problem. Mold needs moisture to grow. Chances are if mold exists, so does water damage.
Since your attic is closest to your roofline, this area is highly susceptible to water damage. Take the trek to your attic every so often to make sure it's dry.
This is a great place to examine the underside of your roof. You might find winter ice damage, holes or stains.
Inspect the perimeter of your attic to make sure there aren't any signs of water damage.
Mold and mildew are often found in your attic. Foggy windows or condensation on any flat surface are signs that mold might also be present.
Basements are often dark and damp. Even a small storm can end up invading your basement if you're not careful.
Just like in your attic, walk the perimeter of your basement and look for any of the common water damage signs listed above.
If you have a sump pump it's probably located in your basement. Test it to make sure it's ready to take on spring showers.

Back to RETROCADE games page
Manufacturer:Namco
Set on a scrolling starfield, your mission in Bosconian is to destroy the enemy bases to advance to the next level. You must also avoid or destroy the enemy starships, asteroids and space mines.
You are able to move in 8 directions and you can fire both in front and behind yourself at the same time. This means you can destroy objects by both moving towards them and by moving away from them. Your ship is also equipped with a radar scanner which shows the position of bases (green), yourself (black) and enemy ship formations (red). Your alert status is also shown on screen, changing to red when enemy formations are attacking. There are also audible warnings and speech to inform you about what is going on.
The playfield wraps around at the edges, so if you move off the left you reappear at the right side of the screen etc. The enemy bases are scattered across the gameplay arena, protected by deadly space mines and asteroids. The enemy bases consist of 8 gun turrets which fire missiles at you which must be avoided or destroyed and a central reactor core.
To destroy the bases you must either knock out all 6 gun turrets or blow up the central core. The core is protected by a shield which opens and closes, and shots can only enter the core when the shield is open. Also on later levels the central core is equipped with a missile launcher which fires missiles out at you, making it harder to destroy the core.
There are several types of enemy ships whch pursue you intent on your destruction. Occasionally several ships will attack together in formation and if you destroy them all you earn bonus points.
The level is cleared when all enemy bases are destroyed, and subsequent stages have more bases to destroy, more numerous and faster alien ships attacking you and a higher concentration of mines and asteroids to negotiate. The bases are also equipped with better weapons making them harder to destroy.
You start the game with 3 lives, and extra lives are awarded at 10,000 points, 50,000 and every further 50,000 points.
Extra Ships stop getting awarded at 2,000,000 points, giving you a total maximum of 42 ships.
Scoring: Asteroid: 10 points.
Space Mine: 20 points.
I-Type (Pink) Enemy Ship: 50 points.
P-Type (Boomerang) Enemy Ship: 60 points.
E-Type (Thin Red) Enemy Ship: 70 points.
Yellow Enemy Ship Bonus: up to 800 points.
Formation Bonus: 1,000 points.
Formation Bonus (later levels): 1,500 points.
Gun Turret: 200 points.
Destroying Enemy Base: 1,500 points.
Playing hints/tips:
Where possible, destroy the bases by knocking out all the gun placments, as you score more points overall than simply blowing up the central core.
Enemy ships are particularly vulnerable to diagonal shots, and since they turn slower than you, pick them off by running away, making small course adjustments to keep them behind you, thereby destroying them with your rear gun.
On later stages when the base cores fire missiles at you, note that the missiles can be destroyed, and you can fire faster than they can reload. Fly towards the core, destroy the missile, and keep firing to blow up the core.
To Avoid getting "Condition Red", make sure you ALWAYS shoot the yellow ship when it appears on screen. Also, don't take too long in a level or else it'll just turn to "Condition Red" automatically. [JoeyL21988]
If you do get "Condition Red", try to always make your ship's direction in any of the diagonal corners. Try not to go up/left/right/down unless you are trying to shoot at 1 or more of the 6 cannons or the center of the Base. [JoeyL21988]
Whenever you are trying to shoot at the center of the Base in the later stages, shoot the two cannons (one on left and one on right nearest centre side you are shooting on) to make it easier to shoot the center. You don't need to be wasting time trying to avoid the shots, ships, and trying to shoot the center in the later levels.. [JoeyL21988]
On later levels (15+) you will get "Condition Red" more than before. When you are trying to shoot at the cannons/center of the base, and there are bullets and many ships coming at you, back off, and try to shoot some of the Cannons and ships before going back to blow up the Base. [JoeyL21988]
On any level, try to go in circles to ward off ships as if you are going up and they are going down, they will go off screen :) [JoeyL21988]
After level 20 or so you will see levels that you have been playing before. [JoeyL21988]
Try to figure out patterns for certain levels, meaning the order in which to the destroy the bases. Sometimes it's easier to shoot just one side of them, such as when they are all in a single line horizontally going across the screen, then change sides and you'll have more work accomplished in less time.

BkiUfrs25V5jfOBX561Q | Fred Emmer and his wife brought another couple out for a double date on Skiatook Lake chasing hybrid-striper and white bass. It was an odd evening, not because Fred was on the boat, but the fish would not hit live or cut bait. Once we brought the slabs out to play we started putting fish in the boat. Fred's wife put a clinic on in the front of the boat catching white bass and a couple solid hybrid striper. Lots of laughs and a great time with this crew. I didn't get any good pics tonight. Cleaned a mess of White Bass and Hybrids.
Got our slab bite on at Skiatook Lake this evening. Quite a few white bass with about 6 nice hybrid striper mixed in all on slabs. We are on a good late evening bite starting a little after 6pm going until close to dark.
We did our first summer night fishing trip using green lights at Keystone Lake in Oklahoma fishing for striper and white bass. We didn't ever get into a fast and furious feeding frenzy bite, but did have a great time and got a mess of fish. We tried fishing a cove with lots of bait, under a bridge, and a bluff with current flowing by. The lake is dropping fast creating a fast lake current. We caught fish in the current and nothing in the cove. Fish were caught on Ole Ugly slabs, shad raps, and live gizzard shad. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfcI5qhLBfzo2pML7 | Where the People Go: Down on the Delta
Take the scenic route down Highway 61 and follow the sounds of the Blues Trail.
By Lynn Brown
The Mississippi Delta is the birthplace of the blues and, arguably, the birthplace of American music as we know it. Blues musicians from this area, both living and dead, continue to influence musicians in a variety of genres today. This makes the Blues Trail and Highway 61, the highway that runs from Jackson, Mississippi, to Memphis, Tennessee, one of the most important historic areas in the country. Still, this area is often overlooked as a tourist destination.
The best way to visit the Blues Trail is by car, either driving in from nearby cities or flying into the major metropolitan airports on either end. Though Memphis has the larger airport, starting in Jackson will give visitors a real sense of the trajectory that many musicians took to become icons of American music.
While in Jackson, be sure to visit the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the Medgar Evers Home Museum to get a sense of the rich history this city has to offer. Wander down Farish Street in the center of town. Once a thriving area for nightclubs and other Black-owned businesses, the neighborhood fell on hard times during the 1970s, like many areas in the South. They're in the process of rebuilding and businesses like Johnny T's Bistro & Blues and F Jones Corner are reviving the tradition of late-night blues in one of the cities where it all started.
Head north from Jackson on Highway 49 to Indianola, the birthplace and final resting place of one of the most famous blues musicians, B.B. King. The B.B. King Museum is the major draw here. It chronicles not just the life of the famous guitarist, but also the extraordinary times that he lived in, starting as the son of a sharecropper in rural Mississippi in the 1920s and moving all the way up to his death in 2015. His gravesite is also on the grounds for those who wish to pay their respects.
Both Greenwood and Greenville are only about thirty minutes away from Indianola, but in opposite directions. In Greenville you can visit the Winterville Mounds and Museum, remnants of ancient villages built by the indigenous people of the area, and have dinner at Doe's Eat Place, the most low-key James Beard award-winning restaurant you'll probably ever have the pleasure to visit. Or stop at the gravesite of Robert Johnson, the blues musician who supposedly sold his soul for fame, and spend a night at the elegant Alluvian hotel in quaint downtown Greenwood. If you have time, visit both!
Continuing north, visit Clarksdale, a whole town dedicated to the blues. Both the Deep Blues Festival and the Juke Joint Festival are held here every year near the Delta Blues Museum, which is also worth a look. The main attraction in Clarksdale, though, is seeing a show at Red's Lounge. Red's is one of the last remaining examples of what used to be referred to as a "juke joint," a small, locally owned, hole in the wall where blues musicians plied their trade before moving on to larger cities and, occasionally, the world. Red's is cash-only and the drink selections are limited, but the atmosphere can't be beat.
Finally, in Tennessee make sure to set aside a few days to spend in Memphis before heading home. If you can swing it, book a room at the historic Peabody hotel, built in 1925. This hotel is considered one of the most beautiful hotels in the South. Even if you don't get to stay here, try to pop into the lobby around 11 a.m. or 5 p.m. to witness the duck parade, where local ducks are led from the roof of the hotel down into the lobby's fountain. Memphis would have been considered the big city to musicians hoping to make it on a national scale. Beale Street, in the heart of town, still stands as a testament to this and music can be heard here nearly every night of the week.

BkiUeMY4eIOjR058Mtxb | Q: Java : clone() operation calling super.clone() I am not fully understanding the idea of returning super.clone() in the clone() method of a class. First of all, wouldn't that relate to it returning an object that is a superclass which contains LESS data than requested, because a superclass "is not a" subclass, but a subclass "is a" superclass. And if there were a long chain of subclasses, each calling super.clone(), why wouldn't that lead to it eventually calling Object.clone() at the root of the chain, which isn't any of the subclasses?
Sorry if that was confusing; I confuse myself sometimes
A: Consider this: you have a chain of inheriting classes. each may (or may not) have its own variables. what clone does, as opposed to the equals operator (==) that duplicates the reference, is a cloned copy of the object with a new reference.
For the example above, you would like to clone the last object in the chain.
As the last object is constructed of its superclasses, where each may have a different cloning method implementation, it makes a lot of sense to call the superclass implementation of clone to receive first a cloned parent object before cloning own object.
Another terms that are usually associated with cloning is shallow and deep cloning.
shallow cloning refer to the creation of an exact replica of an object, while deep cloning creates a replica of an object and any child object that the original object refers to.
More on cloning at this link
A: The implementation of clone() in Object checks if the actual class implements Cloneable, and creates an instance of that actual class.
So if you want to make your class cloneable, you have to implement Cloneable and downcast the result of super.clone() to your class. Another burden is that the call to super.clone() can throw a CloneNotSupportedException that you have to catch, even though you know it won't happen (since your class implements Cloneable).
The Cloneable interface and the clone method on the Object class are an obvious case of object-oriented design gone wrong.
A: Read the javadoc of Object.clone() more carefully : it returns a copy of the object. The copy is another instance of the same class as that of the object on which clone is invoked. I.e. foo.clone().getClass() == foo.getClass().

BkiUbM3xK7Ehm4VQtyOx | Live: Victor Wooten & J.D. Blair @ The Egg, 10/16/10
By Greg Haymes On Oct 25, 2010
J. D. Blair and Victor Wooten
Victor Wooten is best known as the monster electric-bass player whose fantastic fret board pyrotechnics helped catapult killer banjo-maverick Bela Fleck and his Flecktones into the national spotlight and Grammy winning popularity.
J.D. Blair, aka "The Groove Regulator," is a world-class musical chameleon whose drumming and percussion transcends all musical categories. He's played and/or recorded with contemporary Christian-gospel greats (Yolanda Adams, Take 6), smooth jazz practitioners (Kirk Whalum), funk-masters (Bootsy Collins), soulful indie-rockers (India.Arie), electric-jazz blasters (Mike Stern) and some of country music's biggest names (Wynonna Judd, Lyle Lovett). However, it was his stint with country-pop superstar Shania Twain that earned him the 2000 Drum! Magazine's Country Drummer of The Year award.
Last Saturday night at The Egg, sparks of creativity and imagination flew as Wooten and Blair wove a mesmerizing web of musical influences. Funk, classical, jazz, new age, rock, soul, country and just about every other music style was represented as these two master-musicians kept it exciting and fresh for the audience.
And for themselves, too. The delightful looks of shock and awe on their faces confirmed the high degree of improvisation, as they wandered far from the planned set list.
No doubt Wooten and Blair had fun that evening, but so did the audience. The house participated from to time as the collective 'third band member,' keeping the rhythm going as a foundation for the other two to create upon.
All throughout the performance, power, grace and humor were the catch words of the night.
SECOND OPINIONS:
Excerpt from Michael Hochanadel's review at The Daily Gazette: "Their duet thunder throbbed hard and hot, early on, as they reprised such 1990s funk blasts as 'Me and My Bass Guitar' and 'What Did He Say.' Powerful, pyrotechnic workouts, these were busy with notes slamming and blurring into each other, then dissolving. J.D. sprang up mid-song to hand over his drumsticks to a fan rocking hard in the front row; but that guy was only the most conspicuous of the many chair-dancers charged with the beat. Then Victor rapped an anti-racism, anti-war message, and the show began to warm, flowing through a Santana-like melodic rhapsody, a Vocoder-augmented 'Wade in the Water' and the sunsplashed island harmonies and uplifting message of 'I Saw God Today.' Victor sang, 'She looked like you, he looked like me,' pointing, at the chorus."

BkiUbj7xaL3SuhOomFh5 | Kenwood Limited ist ein Hersteller von Küchenkleingeräten für den Privatgebrauch. Kenwood wurde bekannt durch das erste Küchenmaschinenkonzept, welches heute der Hauptabsatz des Unternehmens ist.
Geschichte
Kenneth Wood gründete im Jahr 1947 in der englischen Grafschaft Surrey die Kenwood Manufacturing Company. Die ersten Produkte waren ein Toaster und ein Mixer, der sich sehr gut verkaufte. Der große Erfolg kam drei Jahre später, als Wood ein neuartiges Küchenmaschinensystem entwickelte. Die neuartige Maschine bekam den Namen "Kenwood Chef" und wurde mit zahlreichen Zubehörteilen und Aufsätzen verkauft. Bald stellte sich ein großer Erfolg ein. Mit stetigem Wachstum vergrößerte sich das Unternehmen und 1962 wechselte der Standort nach Havant in der Nähe von Portsmouth im Süden Englands. 1974 war Kenwood der erste Hersteller von Küchenmaschinen, deren Geschwindigkeit geregelt werden konnte. Kenwood erwarb 1993 das englische Unternehmen Waymaster, einen Spezialisten für Wasserfilter und Waagen, und 1994 das italienische Elektrogeräteunternehmen Ariete.
Als eines der ersten Unternehmen produzierte Kenwood ab 1994 in Asien und investierte in einen dortigen Herstellungsstandort. Das Unternehmen wurde 2001 von dem kleineren Mitbewerber De'Longhi übernommen.
Heute gehören Kenwood-Küchenmaschinen zu den meistverkauften der Welt, insbesondere im Hochpreissegment. Kenwood betitelt sich heute als ein modernes und dynamisches Unternehmen und ist stolz auf seine alte britische Herkunft.
Kenwoods Produkte wurden für ihr Design unter anderem vom Designzentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen ausgezeichnet.
Kenwood ist heute in über 100 Ländern vertreten und gehört zu den führenden europäischen Marken für Elektrokleingeräte.

BkiUfZc25V5jQ-dgBaZy | Faced with a 1.6% budget increase for fiscal year 2020 as opposed to the 3.3% required to carry forward existing education services, Westford Public Schools has proposed $1.2 million of budget cuts in order to make ends meet. Superintendent Everett Olsen, who initially requested a 4.6% increase to cover additional improvements and costs, presented the program cuts at the Jan. 28 School Committee Meeting after weeks of consideration with various town committees, but no decisions were made. The cuts will be finalized at the Mar. 23 Town Meeting.
"The difficulty we are facing is that our costs are rising faster than our resources," summarized School Committee member Gloria Miller.
The cuts, organized into three tiers of increasing priority for re-institution in future years, include the removal of 21 full-time positions. The FY19 and FY20 budget increases were both under 2% discounting the tax override for teacher salaries, the only ones that low in the town's recent history.
Westford Academy's population, filled to capacity with 1,716 students, led to most of the reductions occurring at the elementary schools, with the removal of two middle school teachers, six teaching assistants at the K-2 level, four full-time and one part-time Digital Learning Specialists, and the Pre-First Program as only the most notable of the cuts.
The most significant changes at Westford Academy include a one-third cut in substitute teachers, a raise in the activity fee required to participate in clubs from $60 to $100, and a reduction of one full-time teacher.
The activity fee hike may come with a decrease in clubs at WA; according to Olsen's Jan. 10 presentation to the School Committee, "the wide variety of club offerings may be reduced." The teacher reduction will occur based on enrollment levels after students choose their 2019-2020 classes in February, said Principal James Antonelli.
The budget for paying substitute teachers has been cut from $45,000 to $30,000, and will continue to decrease over future years. Training is in progress to establish a Google Classroom-based system where students will be sent to the lecture hall or the library in order to complete work online under adult supervision. This independent work will occur mainly when teachers have planned absences, but will expand to include all absences in future years. The problem, however, is once again the student population.
"If we have a lot of teachers out one day, our lecture hall can't hold that many that many students. […] So we'll have to cross that bridge to see how it goes," said Antonelli, who believes implementing the Google Classroom system will be bumpy at first but that students and faculty will adjust as time goes on.
He also notes that the teachers' updated contract allows them to supervise other classes during their prep periods for $15 a period, another potential avenue to alleviate the lack of substitute teachers.
A proposition for a later start time at the high school and middle schools, for which the School Committee has long since been advocating, has been swept off the table due to its $148,000 burden from additional Special Education bus costs. Westford Academy has one of the earliest start times in the area, beating out competitive schools like Newton, Acton-Boxborough, and Concord-Carlisle with its 7:35 opening.
A comparison of Westford's start times with those of nearby towns.
While costly in the moment, School Committee member Megan Eckroth stresses the importance of considering the long-term benefits for student health of changing the start time. The School Committee plans to continue to push for the change for FY21.
"I think it's very easy for people to say 'we've been operating this way for a long time, and we'll be fine.' But this is a huge benefit with a relatively small change. […] I think that the immediate benefits will certainly be evident in high schoolers, and potentially middle schoolers. But the long term benefit for people to understand is that all of your students will one day be that age," Eckroth said.
Many of the reductions, especially at the lower levels, are based on decreasing enrollment; while three out of four WA classes cross 400 students, none eclipse that number in kindergarten through grade seven. However, this relief is expected to be offset by the introduction of 647 residential units into Westford, the town's largest population increase since the 1980s. Olsen added in his Jan. 10 presentation that the Planning Board indicated that 82 more units may be in development.
This growth prompted a larger budget increase recommendation for public safety services by the Board of Selectmen rather than for the school system.
"I think the problem this year is there's really a disconnect between how they [the Board] want to address growth and how the superintendent and the School Committee would like to address growth," Miller said.
Once the enrollment increases are finalized, Olsen has an agreement with the town government to fund the necessary hires, but that does not mean the town's budget issue will simply disappear. While some costs can be offset through unused money from electricity and heat budgets or cash reserves, with rising costs and unpredictable state funding, more cuts may being coming WPS' way unless residents get involved in town government.
The Rita E. Miller Elementary School, which educates students from kindergarten to second grade.
As long as WPS is working fervently to maintain components of its school system, such as low student-to-teacher ratios and various enrichment opportunities, there is no possibility for new initiatives, says Miller.
"If we're constantly treading water, we can't undertake anything new," she said.
Next on the chopping block may be certain electives at WA, especially if enrollment does decrease in future years. In addition, programs that are removed will take years of advocacy to reinstate even if funds return, says Antonelli.
It will take an economic resurgence and increased state funding to halt the constant money drain on the town and thereby the schools.
"We've got a good economy going on right now. I'm cautiously optimistic that we're going to get some new revenue in the community of Westford and stop the bleeding on these cuts. We can't continue to go on this particular road, because if we do, we will continue to dismantle everything we worked hard to build," Antonelli said.
Eckroth maintains that the immense contribution of the Westford schools' excellence to the town means that investing in the school system now will pay off later, whether it is maintaining support in the elementary levels or making the start time change at the middle and high schools.
"Things can hurt in the moment, and it is hurting at the moment for all of us. And these are difficult decisions, but I think that part of an effective School Committee and an effective administration is looking five, ten years down the road at the ever-evolving thing that is public education," Eckroth said. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUfvLxK7FjYEB4X4NN | Nicole Doerr, Political Translation: How Social Movement Democracies Survive
A century ago, Robert Michels observed what he called the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" at work in the socialist and revolutionary labor parties and movements of Europe. He argued that these groups provided "the best field of observation" for the problem of oligarchy, because they were committed in principle to equality and democracy (p. 11). If even they turned into oligarchies, it was "probable that this cruel game will continue without end" (p. 408).
This was the pattern he observed:
Democracy is inconceivable without organization. [But] Organization implies the tendency to oligarchy. In every organization, whether it be a political party, a professional union, or any other association of the kind, the aristocratic tendency manifests itself very clearly. … As a result of organization, every party or professional union becomes divided into a minority of directors and a majority of directed. … All power thus proceeds in a natural cycle: issuing from the people, it ends by raising itself above the people (pp. 21, 32, 38).
Since about 2003, the University of Copenhagen Sociologist Nicole Doerr has been observing the successors of Michels' socialist and revolutionary movements–the heterogeneous leftist organizations that have come together in contexts like the European Social Forum, the US Social Forum, and a low-income city in California. She observes many of the same specific dynamics that struck Michels, and she adds new ones.
For example, experienced, professional organizers tend to know one another and give each other much more attention than they give to newcomers (pp. 33-34). Representatives of "New Left" organizations that demand loose, horizontal interactions appear to union organizers to be "arrogant and upper-class" (p. 32). Questions that matter to marginalized people–such as whether the location of the next meeting will be accessible to them–get tabled as irrelevant (p. 56). Despite strong leftist convictions, leaders reveal unconscious bias against people unlike them, such as women from Turkey and Eastern Europe (pp. 54-5). Decisions laboriously reached in earlier meetings become sacrosanct, even though newcomers have reasons to object to them. The need to translate for–or to speak more slowly to–linguistic minorities is perceived as a mere nuisance (p. 39). Gatherings tend to grow more "ideologically homogeneous" over time (p. 54), as those who don't agree drop out.
But Doerr also contributes a fascinating positive finding. She first noticed that a multilingual meeting was more equitable and deliberative than meetings in which translation was unnecessary (p. 25). That seemed paradoxical. One would assume that if some participants require simultaneous translation, a layer of inequality will be added.
But then she started noticing the translators. Although they were easily dismissed as providing a mere technical support service–and one that inconvenienced the speakers of the dominant languages–they also became involved in advocating for inclusion. They were professionally resistant to entering the discussion of substance, since their job was to translate for others. But they were also professionally committed to making sure that the people they served could be heard. Thus they often intervened on matters of process.
The translators suddenly took center stage when they went on strike during a Paris gathering, with the terse announcement, "we translators now collectively interrupt our linguistic service" (p. 42). Their demand was to change the list of official speakers so that more immigrants were included. They quickly prevailed, thanks to their leverage over the entire meeting.
At the US Social Forum in Atlanta, there were again linguistic translators. But by now, Doerr had begun using the term more broadly. Translators are people who enter a discussion without having substantive views of their own but with the goal of making sure that certain specific people, vulnerable to being ignored, are heard and understood. One of the activists in Atlanta "often intervened when established NGO staffers working on immigration reform had trouble not only understanding the language but also the content and importance of demands by undocumented immigrants." She told Doerr, "What we did for the US Social Forum was translation … But it's not just about linguistic translation. It's also about emotion. It's a translation of space, of class, of gender" (p. 59).
These translators–linguistic or otherwise–emerge for Doerr as a "third voice within deliberation" (p. 10), neither participants nor facilitators.
She recognizes that they have the power to advance their own interests (pp. 47-9). In the words of the old Italian pun, "traduttore, traditore" (translator = traitor). Their value is dependent on their motivations. Doerr devotes a chapter to a California example in which bilingual elected officials favored their self-interests: "translation had turned into representation and domination" (p. 97). In meetings at city hall, these officials "repeatedly interrupted, disciplined, marginalized, and implicitly stigmatized residents," especially those who spoke in Spanish.
But then a grassroots organizing group created community forums and invited the same city leaders to participate on its turf. Volunteer translators played essential roles in designing these forums, in preparing the city officials to be respectful at the meetings (pp. 102-3), and then intervening to demand that specific questions be answered (p. 110). While literally translating between Spanish and English, the organizers also explained technical matters in understandable terms. Although the votes at these community forums had no legal force, the city council made some concessions in response.
I'd like to emphasize four larger themes:
First, we are used to a dichotomy between direct and representative democracy. But translators (linguistic or otherwise) complicate that. They represent individuals in order to permit direct participation.
Second, the beneficial cases in Doer's book depend on organized power. The translators in Paris struck, withholding their services all at once. The community organizers in the US case engaged sufficient numbers of voters that they could compel city officials to attend their meetings. It's not just the act of translating that matters; it's the translators' connection to organizations. (At this point, Michels would ask how organized translators can avoid becoming a new oligarchy.)
Third, translators sometimes escape notice; their influence is unseen because all they seem to be doing is translating someone else's words (p. 126). I imagine that listeners literally look at the original speakers, not the translators. This invisibility can be problematic if translators misuse their power. But it's also a strategic asset, because they can get away with influencing the powerful when others would fail.
Finally, these acts of translation are classic examples of "public work," in my friend Harry Boyte's sense: "self-organized efforts by a mix of people who create goods, material or symbolic, whose civic value is determined through an ongoing process of deliberation" (Boyte and Scarnatti, p. 78.). Thinking of political translation as a form of work is helpful because it brings out the translators' professional commitments and values and the craft-like skills that they contribute to make democracy work better.

BkiUdXI4eIXhwh1BxLvs | Hair dye, hair bands, tight braids, which ones are the worst for your hair?
1. Doubling up. Too much of a good thing means disaster for your hair. As soon as you combine more than one chemical process (for instance, relaxing + colour or perm + colour) will compromise your hair to a great extent as the protein structure is altered. If your hair is overprocessed, you need to treat it with both protein and moisture to reinforce and ultimately repair it. If this sounds like you, speak to your hairdresser and they will be able to recommend something to help. But prevention is always better than cure, so rather leave some time between treatments.
2. B(l)each babe. Bleaching your hair is the one chemical process that can ruin your hair all by itself if applied irresponsibly. If you over-bleach, it will lose the ability to retain moisture and become coarse and brittle. This is unfortunately the perfect condition for breakage, which has left many a bleached blonde with the need for an impromptu haircut. To preserve the integrity of your hair during bleaching, use regular moisturising treatments to maintain the condition of your hair.
3. Bone straight. If chemical straightening is too permanent, you can always turn to your flat iron right? Well, bad news, it might be damaging your hair. To combat heat damage, save up for a straightener with ceramic plates. And always, ALWAYS use a heat protection product.
3. DIY fashion colours. Dyeing your hair a funky colour doesn't necessarily mean your hair is going to end up ruined. But it does get tricky if you need to lighten your hair first. The bleach in pre-lightening kits can react unpredictably and leave you with a whole lot more problems than you bargained for.

BkiUbtPxK1fBGwCLLPM3 | DA Drops Charges For Carroll County Deputy
On Monday, Coweta Circuit District Attorney, Herb Cranford announced that he will not seek indictment of a Carroll County Deputy following an officer involved shooting that took place in Carroll County last October that injured a civilian.
On October 9th, 2017 at approximately 3:30 am, Carroll County Deputy Tyler North was on routine patrol off Highway 166 near the border of Douglas county. North spotted a vehicle in the parking lot of the Dollar General store. The occupant of the vehicle, Joshua Mapson, was working as a security guard for a movie set in Carroll County and had fallen asleep in his car. According to the investigation, Deputy North approached Mapson's vehicle, knocked on the driver's side door and asked him to open the door. Mapson awoke believing that someone was trying to illegally enter his vehicle and then reversed his car trying to flee.
Allegedly in fear of his own life, Deputy North drew his service weapon firing seven rounds into the vehicle as it drove past, striking Mapson in the left hand causing him to lose control of the vehicle.
Mapson was taken to the hospital and later that morning was released to the custody of the Carroll County Sheriff's department and charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and loitering. All charges were later dismissed by the DA.
A GBI investigation ensued and the findings were submitted to the district attorney's office. After reviewing the evidence, a grand jury recommended indicting Deputy North for the misdemeanor crime of reckless conduct.
After the DA's office contacted Mapson several times, Mapson ultimately asked that Cranford not indict Deputy North after stating that both he and North were in fear for their lives and while he thought North shot too many times he said whatever punishment the deputy has received was sufficient for him.
Cranford concluded Monday, "Given the difficulty in meeting the state's burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt for the crime of reckless conduct based on the facts and the law and given the great weight I give to the wishes of Mr. Mapson, I decline to present an indictment against Deputy North for his actions." | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Using the pandemic as a laboratory, we show that asset markets assign a time-varying price to firms' disaster risk exposure. In 2020 the cross-section of realized and expected stock returns reflected firms' different exposure to the pandemic, as measured by their vulnerability to social distancing. Realized and expected return differentials initially widened and then narrowed, but disaster exposure still commanded a risk premium in December 2020. When inferred from market outcomes, resilience correlates not only with social distancing, but also with cash and environmental ratings. However, vulnerability to social distancing is the only characteristic that identifies persistently scarred firms.

BkiUeCE4uBhjBQYf9CWs | Our Ellis Army: Numero uno!
Hi guys! Tyler and I decided long ago I should start this blog when he went to bootcamp so I could keep all of you informed where he may not be able to. I'll warn you in advance, I'm not a very good pen pal, but I'm gonna try to update this at least once a week.
I though for my very first post, I would just tell you how I came up with the name for this blog: Our Ellis Army. Well, obviously Tyler has joined the Army. That was only part of it, though. I wanted something that will grow with us as we start our family, our own Army. It just seemed to be the perfect to me. What do you guys think? I'll leave off with pics from Tyler's going away dinner at his dad's.
I love it...another family blog. You will love it once you get the hang of it, If I can help jsut email any questions and I'll see if I can help. If I can't I think we could ask Cassie. Love the name...makes perfect sense to me. Welcome to the world of blogging!
yes I am so glad that you have decided to do this! I love keeping up with everyone oh and I must say... Papaw looks REALLY handsome in that photo. Hey don't worry about the crying thing. It just means you are a true Ellis! I cry at anything as does, my mom, Cassie, dad, Mamaw, even Bryce gets pretty choked up. Just the other day I was crying when I saw a dish at a yard sell that my Memaw had when i was little. Can't wait to read more. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUd9jxK7kjXMEc9yyX | Life in Quarantine
With 'Conceptual Boredom,' an Agency Artistically Captures Life in Lockdown
Melancholy meets metaphor in M&C Saatchi's project encouraging donations to medical workers
Two creatives who work at M&C Saatchi's London office created visuals about the emotional impact of quarantine. M&C Saatchi
By Sara Spary
It's easy for life in lockdown to feel stifling. Our lives were once full of variety, but now the days go by in an endless cycle of home working, home schooling, cooking, washing up, cleaning, and, somehow, cooking and washing up again.
Ad agency M&C Saatchi captures this claustrophobic whirlwind of daily chores in a new photography series, Conceptual Boredom.
Creative duo Camila Gurgel and Ieva Paulina, who are from Brazil and Latvia respectively and work in the agency's London office, conceived and developed the series using everyday objects to create surreal, abstract scenarios that bring to life the boredom of lockdown.
They used saturated color and slightly vintage style to give the photos, which are being shared Instagram, a sense of melancholy and nostalgia as well as humor.
The project aims to raise funds for the U.K.'s NHS workers, who are on the front line of the country's coronavirus fight back, via a GoFundMe page and who, the creatives say, do not have the privilege of being bored.
Gurgel, who is a senior copywriter at the agency, and Paulina, a senior art director, will create and post new images throughout lockdown, encouraging people to donate.
"This project is a documentation of lockdown life, viewed through creative eyes, where we start to see things around us, in our homes and in ourselves, from a different perspective," Camila Gurgel said.
"It explores how we're relating to objects in a deeper way than ever before, how we merge with our homes and our stuff, and how we can turn boredom into art."
The project is created with self-awareness by the artists about how the frustration of staying home is extremely minor in comparison to the struggles of those facing Covid-19 on the front lines.
"Our amazing NHS staff and volunteers are working tirelessly to save lives, staying away from their homes and families. Meanwhile, we're complaining about having to play Monopoly again," Paulina said. "We're lucky that boredom is our biggest problem during this time, so we thought we should use our privilege to help those working on the front line, who don't have time to be bored."

BkiUa5vxK0-nUh8iHo4d | Q: Q : std::function with different type inside the same array I'm working on an Entity Component System library for learning purpose, and I'm trying to make major changes to my design.
I'm going to split the class System with one update call to several update functions. But these functions could be anything, function menber or not. So I ended with a lot of different std::function type.
For performance reason, I don't really want to use a tuple (or maybe it's really efficient, tell me). I'd like to use an std::array, but how can I put every kind of std::function together? Well in fact it's a struct which contain std::function, but because of that the struct get the same type problem.
And if the array could be generate at compile time (whih no arguments) it will be the best.
There is an illustration(not real code) of how I'd like it to work.
//Function to add a function in the list [[Call by User]]
addSystemBloc<Position, Speed>(function(ArgIDontKnow, Position, Speed), otherThings);
//Function to generate a structure (probably a graph) linked to the array
generateGraph();
//Inside the initialization of the System using the function we just add [[ Call by User ]]
addArgument(id, arg); //id is not really nice, and this guy know the function he wants to add an arg (with std::bind)
//Somwhere in the main loop [[ Call by Library ]]
invoke(func, Position, Speed);
Anyway thanks
A: An array is a fixed length sequence of values of specified type.
A tuple is a fixed length sequence of values of specified types.
A struct with no methods is a fixed length sequence of values of specified types.
These all have the same performance characteristics with regard to retrieving elements (i.e. constant), and moving / copying (i.e. sizeof(Thing) bytes).
What "performance problems" are you imagining?

BkiUdUfxK7IDND_hDAnv | MU Homecoming kicks off with series of service events, gives back to community
MU celebration began with a series of events including the Tiger Food Fight, Game on Tiger Strong 5K race, Blood Drive, among others.

Homecoming Blood Drive
This year's MU Homecoming kick-off events aim to serve the community, including the Tiger Food Fight, annual Blood Drive, Game On Tiger Strong [Homecoming] 5k, Day Of Service and Roaring For Rainbow House.
The "food fight" was a food drive and the first event in the series of kick-off events. The event took place in front of the Student Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28. Greek life, campus organizations, residence halls and other members of the MU community had the opportunity to donate canned food directly to the food drive.
All of the food collected went directly to The Food Bank For Central and Northeast Missouri. According to the food bank's Twitter account, 26,764 pounds of food was collected throughout the course of the event.
Caroline Dade, one of the homecoming service events directors of the 2018 Homecoming Steering Committee, said the event provided substantial assistance to the area.
"It's a very cool and tangible way to see how the Mizzou community gave back to the local community," Dade said.
The Game On Tiger Strong 5K is a tradition that returned to the Homecoming celebration last fall. The race attracted more than 420 participants whose ages ranged from 12 to 65.
"It's one of the kick-off events in Homecoming that can get everyone's spirit up," Trent Wideman, one of the co-directors of the Steering Committee said. "We purposely crafted the route around some of the scenic spots on campus such as the Jesse Hall, Francis Quadrangle, and Rec Center."
Jacob Detering, a sophomore studying health science finished the race with the first place. Detering has run races since high school and has participated in multiple 5K races on his own. He said although the weather condition wasn't ideal, he enjoyed the overall atmosphere along the route.
"Winning was really cool, especially when I was able to beat my friend [Andy Pogue] who was right behind me by a second or so," Detering said. "I won a bouncy ball, a fidget spinner and an XL T-shirt, which was bit underwhelming. But I would most likely run in the Homecoming 5K again next year."
In addition, Day of Service was one of the traditions in Homecoming history. Groupings had the option to work with local philanthropies where they were given a span of three weeks before the actual day of service on Oct. 6th. Groupings were asked to provide 50 volunteers who will each complete a shift, which lasts for two hours. Dade thinks this year's turnout is incredible. She believes the event portrayed the idea of not only giving back to the Columbia community but also expanding the impact to all of Central Missouri. "There were more than 2100 hours of services completed through the course of three weeks including the actual day of service," Dade said. "It wasn't just within Columbia, either. We even had volunteers at the Second Chance animal rescue close to Boonville."
The last major service-oriented event, Roar for the Rainbow House, took place from Oct.12-14. Members of traditional groups, all of the Panhellenic-associated Greek organizations, asked for donations for the community at local grocery stores in the Columbia community.
Rainbow House is a local, non-profit organization dedicated to keeping children safe and supporting families in crisis through prevention, assessment and intervention in child abuse and neglect, according to their website.
"This is our first time partnering with the Rainbow House," Dade said. "In the past, all the money we fundraised went to the local food bank. People can either give tangible items from Rainbow House's wishlist or monetary donations.Throughout the weekend, we raised $5,005, and hundreds of dollars worth of items from the wishlist were donated. We are excited about having different ways and accesses to give back to our local community through Homecoming."

BkiUetvxK6Ot9Pm3wpqJ | Q: How to link descriptor table with multiple range to the compute shader How to link one UAV descriptor table with a multiple ranges(u0,u1,u2) to the compute Shader
I can make a buffer for each of them and it would work but, I can't seem to figure out how to make it work using multiple ranges.
SetComputeRootDescriptorTable(RootParameterIndex,BaseDescriptor) Takes only these two inputs, This is how I attempted to compute it, so naturally I though I will link the three descriptors as commented below, but the app crash, so I commented the code that cause the crash.
ThrowIfFailed(m_pCommandAllocator->Reset());
ThrowIfFailed(m_pCommandList->Reset(m_pCommandAllocator.Get(), m_pPipelineState["CSPSO"].Get()));
m_pCommandList->SetComputeRootSignature(m_pCSRootSig.Get());
D3D12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE pComputeGPUHeapOffset= m_pCbvSrvDescriptorHeap->GetGPUDescriptorHandleForHeapStart();
ID3D12DescriptorHeap* ppHeaps[] = { m_pCbvSrvDescriptorHeap.Get() };
m_pCommandList->SetDescriptorHeaps(1, ppHeaps);
CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE desc= CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE(pComputeGPUHeapOffset, 0, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
m_pCommandList->SetComputeRootDescriptorTable(0, desc);
//uncommenting those causes crash even though each point to a different descriptor
//desc =CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE(pComputeGPUHeapOffset, 1, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
//m_pCommandList->SetComputeRootDescriptorTable(0, desc);
//desc = CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE(pComputeGPUHeapOffset, 2, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
//m_pCommandList->SetComputeRootDescriptorTable(0, desc);
m_pCommandList->Dispatch(1, 1,1);
Now This is written the rest of the code, First to define the descriptor table
CD3DX12_DESCRIPTOR_RANGE uavTable;
uavTable.Init(D3D12_DESCRIPTOR_RANGE_TYPE_UAV,
3,
0
);
CD3DX12_ROOT_SIGNATURE_DESC rootSigDesc(slotRootParameter.size(),
slotRootParameter.data(),
0,
nullptr
D3D12_ROOT_SIGNATURE_FLAG_ALLOW_INPUT_ASSEMBLER_INPUT_LAYOUT);
slotRootParameter[0].InitAsDescriptorTable(1, &uavTable, D3D12_SHADER_VISIBILITY_ALL);
Then to create the main buffer
ThrowIfFailed(m_pDevice->CreateCommittedResource(
&CD3DX12_HEAP_PROPERTIES(D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT),
D3D12_HEAP_FLAG_NONE,
&CD3DX12_RESOURCE_DESC::Buffer(paddedSize + sizeof(UINT),
D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_ALLOW_UNORDERED_ACCESS),
D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_UNORDERED_ACCESS,
nullptr,
__uuidof(ID3D12Resource),
&MainBuffer
));
and the description for each section of the buffer that I want to link to U0,U1,U2 defined in the descriptor table as
D3D12_UNORDERED_ACCESS_VIEW_DESC uavDesc = {};
uavDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_UNKNOWN;
uavDesc.ViewDimension = D3D12_UAV_DIMENSION_BUFFER;
uavDesc.Buffer.FirstElement = 0;
uavDesc.Buffer.NumElements = 3000;
uavDesc.Buffer.CounterOffsetInBytes = paddedSize;//aligned to 4096
uavDesc.Buffer.Flags = D3D12_BUFFER_UAV_FLAG_NONE;
uavDesc.Buffer.StructureByteStride = sizeof(Object1);
CD3DX12_CPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE hDescriptor(m_pCbvSrvDescriptorHeap->GetCPUDescriptorHandleForHeapStart());
m_pDevice->CreateUnorderedAccessView(
MainBuffer.Get(),
MainBuffer.Get(),
&uavDesc,
hDescriptor);
uavDesc.Buffer.NumElements = 2000;
uavDesc.Buffer.FirstElement = 3000;
hDescriptor.Offset(1, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
uavDesc.Buffer.StructureByteStride = sizeof(Object2);
m_pDevice->CreateUnorderedAccessView(
MainBuffer.Get(),
MainBuffer.Get(),
&uavDesc,
hDescriptor);
uavDesc.Buffer.FirstElement = 5000;
hDescriptor.Offset(1, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
uavDesc.Buffer.StructureByteStride = sizeof(float);
m_pDevice->CreateUnorderedAccessView(
MainBuffer.Get(),
MainBuffer.Get(),
&uavDesc,
hDescriptor);
The paddedSize is the aligned sum of objects sizes multiplied by their buffer length
and a shader that output any values with structures like
RWStructuredBuffer <Object1> FirstBuffer:register(u0);
RWStructuredBuffer<Object2> SecondBuffer:register(u1);
RWStructuredBuffer<float> ThirdBuffer:register(u2);
Well when I pass dummy data in the first buffer I can see that the buffer is empty and when I output anything from the buffer after the shader is done it is also empty.
So what am I doing wrong?
A: CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE desc= CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE(pComputeGPUHeapOffset, 0, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
m_pCommandList->SetComputeRootDescriptorTable(0, desc);
//uncommenting those causes crash even though each point to a different descriptor
//desc =CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE(pComputeGPUHeapOffset, 1, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
//m_pCommandList->SetComputeRootDescriptorTable(1, desc);
//desc = CD3DX12_GPU_DESCRIPTOR_HANDLE(pComputeGPUHeapOffset, 2, m_nCbvSrvDescriptorSize);
//m_pCommandList->SetComputeRootDescriptorTable(2, desc);
m_pCommandList->Dispatch(1, 1,1);
should give different indexes to root desc table enty in command list.

2 after the trade is executed, and for listed options and government securities it is usually 1 day after the execution. As part of performance on the delivery obligations entailed by the trade, settlement involves the delivery of securities and the corresponding payment. A number of risks arise for the parties during the settlement interval, which are managed by the process of clearing, which follows trading and precedes settlement. Clearing involves modifying those contractual obligations so as to facilitate settlement, often by netting and novation. Settlement involves the delivery of securities from one party to another. Prior to modern financial market technologies and methods such as depositories and securities held in electronic form, securities settlement involved the physical movement of paper instruments, or certificates and transfer forms.
The electronic settlement system came about largely as a result of Clearance and Settlement Systems in the World's Securities Markets, a major report in 1989 by the Washington-based think tank, the Group of Thirty. This report made nine recommendations with a view to achieving more efficient settlement. In an electronic settlement system, electronic settlement takes place between participants. If a non-participant wishes to settle its interests, it must do so through a participant acting as a custodian. The interests of participants are recorded by credit entries in securities accounts maintained in their names by the operator of the system. After the trade and before settlement, the rights of the purchaser are contractual and therefore personal.
Because they are merely personal, their rights are at risk in the event of the insolvency of the vendor. After settlement, electronic articles purchaser owns securities and their rights are proprietary. Immobilisation and dematerialisation are the two broad goals of electronic settlement. Both were identified by the influential report by the Group of Thirty in 1989. For the concept in macroeconomics, see Economic immobility.
The Depository Trust Company in New York is the largest immobilizer of securities in the world. Euroclear and Clearstream Banking, Luxembourg are two important examples of international immobilisation systems. Dematerialisation involves dispensing with paper instruments and certificates altogether. Dematerialised securities exist only in the form of electronic records.
The legal impact of dematerialisation differs in relation to bearer and registered securities respectively. In a direct holding system, participants hold the underlying securities directly. The settlement system does not stand in the chain of ownership, but merely serves as a conduit for communications of participants to issuers. 2 Settlement Cycle for Securities Transactions».

Qi Chin graded C
'Imprisoned' is a double-edged sword. It's an okay story filled with good and bad moments. It's not bland, but it's definitely not exceptional. I don't like reviewing episodes like this. But I'll give it a try.
The story begins nicely (in a narrative sense). While camping in the wilderness, the gang comes in contacts with the war for the first time in the form on an oppressed mining town. Their entrance ticket to the town's problems is a young earthbender named Haru, one of the most confusing characters of the show. Haru secretly practices earthbending, admires his father's courage and defiance, and complains about the town's inhabitants being cowards - yet he does nothing himself. No underground resistance, not asking willing strangers for help. I can sort of see where his reputation of being a pansy comes from, notwithstanding his feminine voice.
The whole ordeal of Haru's capture is pretty heavy. The man Katara and Haru rescue turns traitor, and the silent message between Haru's mothers and Katara is one of, if not the most powerful, scene of the episode. The following faux earthbending scene is pretty stupid in comparison.
Once on the rig we are presented with the cliche-cruel warden, who nevertheless has a cool voice. The introduction of Haru's father is yet another confusing scene. He seems to be the main link between guards and prisoners, and the charismatic leader. But he's not leading much; no resistance here, either. Moving on.
Katara's speeches... The first time I watched the episode, the speeches were quite cool, but then they turned a bit silly. Alright, pretty silly. I guess the inspiration effect dies if nobody reacts to it, not that there was too much to begin with. You still rule, William Wallace.
We see some more awesome earthbending (or, rather, coalbending) in the final mutiny. And Katara loses her necklace, only to be picked up by Zuko. Now, if that's not a good plot device for future encounters, I don't know what is.
To give this review a conclusion, 'Imprisoned' is a nice episode. Just nice, nothing too big. I had just hoped throughout the entire episode to see some cool waterbending from Katara, since the rig was out in the middle of the ocean. But that just didn't happen.

It's hard to rank Imprisoned among the best Avatar episodes. It's hard to even say that it's one of the more decent episodes. It is an adventure that seems mostly cliched, and it certainly doesn't utilize these cliches in any new or interesting manner.
The story of the episode centers on a small Earth Kingdom village that has been occupied by Fire Nation forces. To maintain their stranglehold on the town, the Fire Nation has shipped all the Earthbenders off to a metal rig in the middle of the ocean, where their bending powers are useless. Enter Haru, a young Earthbender whose father has been captured and sent to the metal rig. He lives in fear of being caught by the Fire Nation, and attempts to hide his skills when noticed by Katara, Aang, and Sokka. Ultimately, he is captured due to a good deed, and Katara formulates a daring plan to rescue him by being captured herself.
First of all, this episode presents some rather upsetting plot points that left me wondering just how stupid the Fire Nation actually is. Katara's plan is to pretend to be an Earthbender and get caught. She does so, and is shipped off without a second thought. Why didn't anyone notice that she's dressed in Water Tribe clothes? Do the Fire Nation soldiers simply not notice them? Are they also oblivious to the fact that her skin is an entirely different shade than everyone else in the village? It simply seems very convenient that they bought her flimsy display of 'Earthbending' and shipped her off without any questions.
Then we're treated with one of the cheesiest monologues in the entire series when Katara finally meets up with Haru, his father, and the other Earthbenders. She gives an impassioned speech that is pretty much every cliched "Your strength comes from within, so fight!" monologue put together. It fails to be inspiring, and at least in this aspect the episode does well: none of the Earthbenders care about her words, either.
The prison warden fails to be any better. An insipid and cruel man, he makes a point of reducing morale by... giving the prisoners speeches about how hopeless they are. He fails to seem truly menacing since his speeches also seem to be recycled from various inspirational films, except that he plays the role of the villain that convinces the heroes that they have no hope.
The episode picks up slightly when the Earthbenders ultimately find their spines and begin to fight back against their captors. The bending battle is interesting, but not one of Avatar's most memorable fights. Oh, and did I mention that we have to listen to Katara give one more inspiration mini-speech?
A lot of the themes in the episode are undermined by just how cliched the material is. At its worst the episode is cringe-worthy, and at its best it's mildly entertaining.

BkiUcu04eILhQLGUT8Kf | In the United States, nearly half a million bone graft operations are performed annually to repair defects arising from birth defects, trauma, and disease, making bone the second most transplanted tissue. Autogenous bone is the current gold standard for bone grafts; however it is in limited supply and results in a second injury at the donor site. A promising alternative is a tissue engineered bone graft composed of a biomaterial scaffold, pharmaceutics, and osteoprogenitor cells. One source of osteoprogenitor cells is bone marrow stroma, which can be obtained from the patient - minimizing the risk of an immune response - directed in vitro to proliferate, and differentiate into a bone-like tissue. To date, tissue engineered bone grafts have not been clinically effective; thus, strategies must be developed to improve efficacy. I hypothesize that to facilitate tissue healing in a manner similar to autogenous bone tissue engineering bone must possess a mineralized collagen matrix to support tissue integration, and angiogenic factors to stimulate vascular infiltration, and osteogenic factors to direct normal bone remodeling. I propose that these factors can be synthesized by osteoprogenitor cells in vitro when cultured under the appropriate conditions. Previous work has demonstrated that perfusion culture of osteoprogenitor cells within 3D scaffolds stimulates phenotypic markers of osteoblastic differentiation, but those studies did not determine whether the effects were a consequence of shear stress or increased nutrient availability. Consequently, this work has involved studies in a planar geometry, where nutrient effects are negligible. Three studies that characterize the effect of fluid flow on osteoblastic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells are presented here. The objective of the first study was to determine the effect of shear stress magnitude on cell density and osteocalcin deposition. In this study, radial flow chambers were used to generate a spatially dependent range of shear stresses (0.36 to 2.7 dynes/cm2) across single substrates, and immunofluorescent techniques were used to assay cell phenotype as a function of shear stress. The objective of the second study was to determine the effect of the duration of fluid flow on cell density and phenotypic markers of differentiation. Here, parallel plate flow chambers were used to generate a single shear stress at the cell surface, and entire cell layers were assayed for expression of osteoblastic genes. The objective of the third study was to compare continuous and intermittent fluid flow strategies. In this study, a microprocessor-controlled actuator was added to the flow loop to periodically halt flow, and markers of mechanosensation and osteoblastic differentiation were measured. These studies demonstrated that shear stresses of 0.36 to 2.7 dynes/cm2 stimulate late phenotypic markers of osteoblastic differentiation but not cell proliferation. In addition, this osteogenic effect is sensitive to duration of fluid flow but insensitive to the magnitude of shear stress. Further, intermittent fluid flow enhances cell retention, biochemical markers of mechanotransduction, and synthesis of the angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Thus, these studies suggest that intermittent fluid flow may be an attractive component of a biodynamic bioreactor for in vitro manufacture of clinically effective tissue engineered bone grafts. Future studies will further investigate intermittent fluid flow strategies and three-dimensional studies with scaffolds suitable for bone tissue engineering. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUfTg5qhLBqQGjQ-80 | Q: Why does `assert` macro have value even with `NDEBUG`? Environment:
$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04) 7.4.0
It is known that function-like macro assert for debugging can be disabled with NDEBUG defined before the include of assert.h (cassert). However, reading /usr/include/assert.h in my environment, I found the code below.
#if defined __cplusplus && __GNUC_PREREQ (2,95)
# define __ASSERT_VOID_CAST static_cast<void>
#else
# define __ASSERT_VOID_CAST (void)
#endif
#ifdef NDEBUG
# define assert(expr) (__ASSERT_VOID_CAST (0))
# ifdef __USE_GNU
# define assert_perror(errnum) (__ASSERT_VOID_CAST (0))
# endif
#else /* Not NDEBUG. */
So, even with NDEBUG, assert is expanded into some value and thus affect the performance insignificantly but certainly (if no optimization occurs after the preprocess step). Since C++ standard allows function-like macro with empty value, it seems
#ifdef NDEBUG
#define assert(expr)
#endif
would be a good implementation.
Is there any reason why non-empty value should be the option?
A: One reason that the macro has a value when NDEBUG is defined is because the C standard requires that it has one — it even stipulates what it shall be.
C11
§7.2 Diagnostics <assert.h>
¶1 The header <assert.h> defines the assert and static_assert macros and refers to another macro,
NDEBUG
which is not defined by <assert.h>. If NDEBUG is defined as a macro name at the point in the source file where <assert.h> is included, the assert macro is defined simply as
#define assert(ignore) ((void)0)
The assert macro is redefined according to the current state of NDEBUG each time that <assert.h> is included.
¶2 The assert macro shall be implemented as a macro, not as an actual function. If the macro definition is suppressed in order to access an actual function, the behavior is undefined.
…
7.2.1.1 The assert macro
Synopsis
#include <assert.h>
void assert(scalar expression);
Description
¶2 The assert macro puts diagnostic tests into programs; it expands to a void expression. When it is executed, if expression (which shall have a scalar type) is false (that is, compares equal to 0), the assert macro writes information about the particular call that failed (including the text of the argument, the name of the source file, the source line number, and the name of the enclosing function -- the latter are respectively the values of the preprocessing macros __FILE__ and __LINE__ and of the identifier __func__) on the standard error stream in an implementation-defined format.191) It then calls the abort function.
Returns
¶3 The assert macro returns no value.
191) The message written might be of the form:
Assertion failed: expression, function abc, file xyz, line nnn.
C++11
The C++11 standard says (§19.3 Assertions) says:
The header <cassert> … provides a macro for documenting C++ program assertions and a mechanism for disabling the assertion checks.
…
The contents are the same as the Standard C library header <assert.h>.
So the same rules apply to C++ as to C. The C++ standard doesn't explicitly call out the differences between the C++ static_assert and the C _Static_assert (and the definition of static_assert as _Static_assert in the C version of the <assert.h> header). The net result is much the same, though.

BkiUcTHxK6-gDz87PEom | Inside One Hobby Lobby Employee's Inspiring Fight for Equality
ByEliel Cruz
It wasn't enough that Hobby Lobby won in a landmark Supreme Courty case for employers being able to deny women reproductive healthcare coverage. Now, the conservative-led company wants to also dictate which restrooms women can use at work. That is, if you happen to be a transgender woman.
Meggan Sommerville, a 16-year veteran of the the arts and crafts franchise, began her transition in 2009 and had her name legally changed in 2010. But she was nevertheless recently written up at her Aurora, Ill., store when she began using the women's restroom. According to Sommerville, store managment said that she'd only be allowed to use the restroom most aligned with her gender identity under one condition: Sommerville would have to prove that she'd undergone a genital reconstructive surgery.
These alleged actions by management reinforce transphobia and cissexism by confusing the difference between sex and gender identity, and the essentialist assumption that all women must have a vagina and vice-versa for men. It also undermines the self-determination and personhood of trans people, by laughing in the face of what they've affirmed to themselves and seek to signal to the world around them about their gender identity.
That's part of the outdated ideology that Sommerville has decided to contest, by filing suit against Hobby Lobby for gender discrimination.
Sommerville also filed a complaint with the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) in April 2011, alleging discrimination in her workplace and public accommodation. Her case was originally dismissed but the decision is now pending after the IDHR overturned it.

Oddly enough, Hobby Lobby isn't citing religious reasons to defend prohibiting her from using the women's restroom. No, this prejudice is right out in the open.

This issue won't be resolved quickly and the need for trans inclusive restrooms is a matter of safety, suppoerters say. "Refuge Restrooms is a web application that indexes and maps safe restrooms for transgender, intersex, and gender-nonconforming individuals." Widmer told The Advocate. "At its core, its goal is to be a place where you can go, type in an address and find the nearest refuge when you really need a place to use the bathroom."
As for Sommerville's case, it's yet another instance of Hobby Lobby and right-wing conservative companies attempting to take too many steps into the lives of their employees. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdCY5qsBDAJXqELbQ | Leonard Lawson, 91, of Holt, Mo., went home to be with His Lord and Savior, March 26, 2019.
Leonard was born on May 22, 1927 to Harrison and Viola Lawson. Leonard attended 8 grades of school before joining the U.S. Army.
He served in the Army for 7 years, getting in on the end of W.W. II and then the Korean War later, where he served as Military Police. According to Leonard his claim to fame was driving General Douglas MacArthur wherever he wanted to go. Also, while serving he was asked by the military to restart the Boy Scout program in Germany, which Hitler had shut down previously and this was to be part of his "duty to his country".
After the service he did some odd jobs before landing a job at Corn Products, International in North Kansas City, Mo. He worked at Corn for 35 years before retiring.
His passion was B.S. Troop 397 for Kearney, Mo., where he served as Scout Master for several years. He also enjoyed gardening and his four grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
He is proceeded in death by his wife of 59 years, Marianne; his grandson, Bobby Lawson; his parents; and his two brothers, Kenneth and Lawrence.
Leonard is survived by his sister, Helen Ruckdeschel of Lexington, Mo.; son, Jerry Lawson of Kearney, Mo., and his wife, Barb; daughter, Janet Mayo of Kearney, Mo.; grandchildren, Carrie Mayo of Kansas City, Mo., Andy Mayo of Kearney, Mo., Crystal Bomar of Kearney, Mo.; great grandchildren, Sindri Mohr of Omaha, Neb., Madison and Lilly Goss of Gladstone, Mo., Autumn Mayo of Platte City, Mo., Kylee and Kalan Bomar of Kearney, Mo.; and nephew, Jimmy Rucksdeschel of Greenwood, Mo.
He and his wife attended 1st Baptist Church of Kearney, Tryst Falls Baptist of Kearney and Kearney Bible Church.
Visitation will be at 10 March 30, 2019 at Kearney Bible Church with the service following at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the "Campership Fund" of the Northland District to go for those campers who need monetary help with going to Summer B.S. camp at Osceola.
Arrangements in care of Fry-Bross & Spidle Funeral Home, Kearney, Mo.
I worked with Leonard in the Kearney R-1 School District. He was a custodian and I was a secretary. Leonard was so helpful with the children in teaching them the proper respect of the United States Flag. He had different students help him raise and lower the flag each day and taught them how to fold it properly. I hope they remember that the rest of their lives. It was a special time for both Leonard and the students. I know you will miss him. I truly enjoyed working with him. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdJQ5qYVBbRfeudbV | Q: How is fusion reactor fuel initially accelerated? If, in a nuclear fusion tokamak reactor, you start with neutral fuels, how do you accelerate the atoms fast enough to start the reactor?
Or do all of the particles have to ionized to begin with?
A: In addition to radio waves, as mentioned in the answer by @peterh, there is also another important mechanism which constitutes one of the main advantages of a tokamak: ohmic heating. Let me try to explain.
In a tokamak, as opposed to a stellarator, you drive a strong current in the plasma which generates part of the confining magnetic field. This current also contributes to heating up the plasma, this is what we call ohmic heating. Note that ohmic heating alone is not sufficient to achieve fusion temperatures, for this we need additional heating mechanism like radio waves.
The current in the plasma is induced according to the transformer idea: the plasma is the secondary winding and a central solenoid acts as primary winding. Ramping up a voltage in the latter, induced the plasma current. Or, to be more precise, it creates a strong electric field. This field then accelerates free electrons, which you always have in a gas. Those free electrons trigger an avalanche process which leads to the formation of a plasma.
Radio waves are often used to support the breakdown in a tokamak, but are not a requirement. In a stellarator, on the other hand, there is no transformer and radio waves alone are used for a breakdown.
(Note: I interpreted your question to be about the initial breakdown as you mentioned ''start with neutral fuels''.)
A: With radio waves. Essentially, a tokamak is also a large microwave oven.

BkiUc0k5qhLACA4PvUIp | This strange beast, based on a stock Ferrari 330 GT2+2 was created by bespoke coach builder Piero Drogo as a one off.
Italian nightclub owner Norbert Navarro was the customer – and we can't really tell if this particular creation is a triumph or a disaster.
The core of the original Pininfarina designed body remains on 'The Golden Car' as it is known, but the fins and extended, snoop-dog nose of this mid-sixties creation makes the car look a little unbalanced.
It was one of a fine series of one-off specials that appeared at this year's Monterey Car Week in California.
Drogo, a Piedmontese racing driver who competed briefly in Formula 1 in the early sixties, didn't make many cars – and his career was cut short in a car accident in 1973 – so we can't judge the man's skills by this one creation alone.
The 330 GT isn't the prettiest Ferrari ever made – but it was probably good enough to let well alone!

BkiUdRY4dbgg-nPSsLtU | Q: Slider script show different ammount of items on resize I have a slide script where you can set the ammount of visible images and need to change the ammount when I reach a browser size.
When browser width is smaller than 768px show 4 items.
Is this possible to combine below 2 scripts?
FIDDLE
Slider script:
$('.logo-slide').wmuSlider({
touch: Modernizr.touch,
animation: 'slide',
items: 5
});
Browser width script:
$(window).resize(function() {
if ($(window).width() < 767) {
$(".nav-wide").hide();
}
else {
$(".nav-wide").show();
}
});
I try to combine these like below script, but it doesn't work
$(window).resize(function() {
if ($(window).width() < 768) {
$('.logo-slide').wmuSlider({
items: 4
});
}
else {
$('.logo-slide').wmuSlider({
items: 5
});
}
});
A: Your window.width and resize methods are spot on for detecting the different screen sizes.
The jquery plugin is probably developed to be called only once on page load.
A plugin like this might be a better option where you can have minimum and maximum item numbers?
http://www.woothemes.com/flexslider/ (see // Carousel Options minItems and maxItems)
A: Try CSS3
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
.logo-slide { display: none; }

BkiUejjxK7IADzpkVFYA | Q: NSRegularExpression weird behaviour Ive tried to figure this out for several hours and cannot find anything similar on the internets so hope you can help me out..
I'm trying to replace a single character in a NSString, should be quite simple right?
Here is what i've done:
NSError *error;
NSString *str1 = @"E bis the EVE E on E is the the hte ee e.";
NSString *str2 = @"E abis the EVE E on E is the the hte ee e.";
NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"\\bE\\b"
options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive
error:&error];
int numberOfMatches1 = [regex numberOfMatchesInString:str1
options:0
range:NSMakeRange(0, [str1 length])];
int numberOfMatches2 = [regex numberOfMatchesInString:str2
options:0
range:NSMakeRange(0, [str2 length])];
NSLog(@"%d, %d",numberOfMatches1,numberOfMatches2);
NSString *modifiedStr1 = [regex stringByReplacingMatchesInString:str1
options:0
range:NSMakeRange(0, [str1 length])
withTemplate:@"O"];
NSString *modifiedStr2 = [regex stringByReplacingMatchesInString:str2
options:0
range:NSMakeRange(0, [str2 length])
withTemplate:@"O"];
NSLog(modifiedStr1);
NSLog(modifiedStr2);
The idea is to replace all Single E's (also at the start and end of the string) with an O and leave all others as is.
In the first string this works as expected, but when I add someting to the string, in this case an 'a' on the 2nd position I get a false positive.
The outputs are:
4, 5 (Nr of matches of str1 and str2)
O bis the EVE O on O is the the hte ee O. <--- correct

What am I doing wrong?
A: Apart from the compiler warnings - your two int's should be NSUInteger, which in turn requires %lu in the format string, and the last two NSLog calls should have a format string - you are doing nothing wrong in the code you show and it works as expected (tested with Xcode 5.0.2 on 10.8.5).
So your problem is elsewhere. Step through the code in the debugger taking note of all the pointer values etc as you go and hopefully you'll find it.

BkiUc3jxK02iP4WkAEcm | Hi everyone! Once more, I am so excited to share my journey with you. Webster's dictionary describes sleep as the natural, regularly recurring rest for the body, during which there is little or no conscious thought. I have finally reached that stage of nirvana in my life!
In my previous story, Sleepless in Atlanta: Phase 1, I was diagnosed with chronic insomnia since the age of eight. Currently, I'm in Phase Two of the Neurotransmitter test. My body is naturally craving rest and is developing a natural sleep rhythm, so life is great. The new sleep cycle has gone from four hours to six hours consecutively. On my days off, naps are a welcome blessing and I can still sleep a full six hours once I settle down for the night. Prior to that napping would have been a disaster. The nap would have been the equivalent of the entire night's rest.
The results of the test and the supplements have given me back my life, mentally, spirituality, and physically. One of the most important things I lacked was daytime energy. Now that has been given back to me. I can now define "normal" as a good thing.
The supplements have also been instrumental in controlling the "internal rages" I experienced on a daily basis. A lifetime of being sleep deprived left me internally irritable everyday. Quick reactions to situations and people have all but gone away. To be at peace and be able to let things roll off my back is wonderful.
Life is a special journey for all of us, and how we choose to travel that road is up to us. The ability and free will given to us helps us to make informed decisions and choices. Taking this step to reclaim my life, has given me a freedom that is indescribable. I encourage everyone who can identify with my story to try the Neurotransmitter testing! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUagPxK6EuNCwysyNp | Q: Java called method return value as a switch case value I have to use a value, typically return via a method in switch case.
int getVal(){return 121;}
switch(expr){
case getVal():
}
But its giving comilation error: constant expression required.
I also tried like,
int _val = getVal();
switch(expr){
case _val:
}
Having same result.
Is there any workaround to implement it.
Thanks,
Amit
A: As the error clearly states, switch only works with constant expressions.
You need to use an if.
A: This won't work, because while you think that your method will effectively be a constant, it could be hidden, the class could be sub-classed, or any number of other items could interfere.
While the compiler could attempt to discern that the return value is a constant, it won't because it also doesn't have the whole picture as classes in a Java project can be compiled at different times (subclasses compiled after their parents, etc.)
Also it is not clearly established what a function as a switch label means. While you might see it as a shorthand for renaming a constant, someone else might expect it to be evaluated each time the switch was entered, while someone else might expect it to be evaluated each time the label was entered, and yet another might expect it to be evaluated each time the switch jumped to that label (which is impossible because you have to evaluate such a label prior to jumping to it.) Since there is no clear consensus, better to leave it out of the language until there is a clear consensus.
And that's not even getting into the assurance that such a method doesn't return a duplicate label (switches don't support multiple labels of the same value).

BkiUdGQ5qWTA8xMZTeP0 | UN Concerned as Iraq Oil-for-Food Programme Nears End
With the UN's oil-for-food humanitarian programme set to end on Nov. 21, Security Council members have expressed concern about the fate of contracts and deliveries.
Benon Sevan, who runs the programme, told the council Tuesday that his office will continue "a smooth hand over" of remaining activities to the US-led coalition. But he said its wrap-up work has been hampered by a cutback in the UN's international staff after two bombings at the world body's headquarters in Baghdad. "Handing over a multibillion dollar programme of such complexity and magnitude during the six-month period" set by the council "would have been extremely difficult even under the best of circumstances," he said. "Doing so under current conditions of insecurity and reduced on-site staffing capacity will require a degree of realism, understanding and pragmatism, as well as flexibility from all parties involved."
The programme allowed the former Iraqi regime to sell unlimited quantities of oil, provided most of the money went to buy food, medicine and other humanitarian goods. It was adopted to help ordinary Iraqis cope with sanctions imposed after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Since the programme began in December 1996, Sevan said, about $65 billion worth of oil was exported, more than $46 billion was allocated to the oil-for-food operation, and more than $30 billion worth of goods were delivered to Iraq. Secretary General Kofi Annan suspended the programme in March on the eve of the US-led military campaign that toppled Saddam Hussein's regime and the Security Council voted on May 22 to lift sanctions and to eliminate the programme by Nov. 21.
Before the war, the programme was providing food for 90 per cent of Iraq's population and goods worth some $10 billion were in the delivery pipeline. As of this week, Sevan said, there was still more than $7.56 billion in the pipeline. Sevan said he didn't know how much money would be left in the oil-for-food escrow account when the program ends. The money is to be transferred to a development fund for Iraq's reconstruction controlled by the United States and Britain as occupying powers.
US Ambassador John Negroponte urged Annan to transfer at least $1 billion from the oil-for-food account to the reconstruction effort.
Sevan told the council that in Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq, where the United Nations ran the programme, he still planned to transfer over $3.5 billion worth of completed and ongoing projects to the coalition, including $1.5 billion worth of assets. In central and southern Iraq, the United Nations has determined that 3,154 approved and funded contracts worth $6.36 billion had been classified "to have relative utility" after the war, he said. So far, 1,653 contracts, just over 52 percent of the total, have been renegotiated to deal with postwar changes but UN agencies assured him the rest would be completed by a Nov. 3 deadline. He criticised the United States for not arranging to confirm the arrival of goods at the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr, despite agreeing on a method for doing so a month ago.
Germany's UN Ambassador Gunter Pleuger, who heads the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against Iraq, called for Sevan's office to publish a list of contracts that won't be processed, and the criteria used to determine that they were not essential. France's UN Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sabliere echoed the call for publication of a list and a reason for those contracts not deemed essential. Russia's UN Ambassador Sergey Lavrov requested detailed information on the reason why certain projects were not given priority status.
The council's resolution adopted in May setting the timetable for ending the programme said action on contracts determined to be "of questionable utility" would be delayed until Iraq has an internationally recognised government that can determine "whether such contracts shall be fulfilled."
