The Swedish Species Information Centre accumulates, analyses and disseminates information concerning the species and habitats occurring in Sweden. We are one of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences formal collaborative centres. Most of the work conducted at the Swedish Species Information Centre fits into Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences program for Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, focusing on the long term goals of sustainable development expressed by the Parliament in, e.g., the Swedish Environmental Objectives. The Swedish Species Information Centre works with commissions from the Government and other authorities within the field of Swedish biodiversity, frequently in cooperation with various NGOs. We also conduct research in the fields of Ecology and Conservation. we: • assess and evaluate the conservation status of the Swedish species • keep track of the names of species, habitat types and other terms and concepts pertaining to biodiversity and conservation • accumulate and disseminate information about findings of individual species • support the implementation of EU regulations • conduct and support research in the fields of biodiversity and conservation • Evaluation and assessment of the conservation status of Swedish species • We take an active part in gap analyses, construction of monitoring and evaluation systems and other strategic work concerning accumulation of biodiversity data. We thereby strive to ensure that the continuous monitoring of Sweden's species and habitat types is conducted according to the best available knowledge. The Swedish Red List and The Swedish Taxonomy Initiative are important examples of this. Through our web services, publications, conferences, exhibits and seminars – as well as through active dialogue and cooperation with various operators – we pass on information about biodiversity and conservation to authorities, trade and industry as well as the general public. Nomenclature By supplying people working with biodiversity with an updated nomenclature (species names, names and definitions of habitat types and other important conservation terms) we enable them to speak the same language. Our taxonomical database Dyntaxa, which is freely available on the internet, plays an important part in these efforts. Our work is conducted in close cooperation with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, the Swedish Museum of Natural History and other parties concerned. Accumulation and dissemination of species records Through the Swedish Species Information System we gather information from private persons as well as various authorities and institutions concerning the occurrence and distribution of Swedish species. Supporting the implementation of the EU regulations Through expert advice we support the civil society in its efforts to implement the EU conservation legislation, e.g. the Species and Habitiats Directive and the Birds Directive. Research ArtDatabanken conducts research in the fields of ecology and conservation biology, focusing on, e.g., the effects of changes in climate or land use on the survival and distribution of individual species. We also coordinate the development of Swedish LifeWatch, a digital infrastructure aiming at making research data on biodiversity available to science as well as the civil society. Through the The Swedish Taxonomy Initiative we also support taxonomical research on, and inventories of poorly known organism groups in Sweden. International cooperation International cooperation is a prerequisite of efficient conservation efforts. The Swedish Species Information Centre cooperates closely with its counterparts in the other Nordic countries. It is also a part of the European Topic Center on Biological Biodiversity, an expert agency supporting the EU in its biodiversity efforts. We are also active members of the IUCN, the international organisation responsible for the production of a global Red List.
How are you performing research on Citizen Science, taking part in Citizen Science activities and/or supporting Citizen Science?:
The Swedish Species Observations Gateway (Artportalen; www.artportalen.se) is a web site for recording finds of the Swedish plants, animals and fungi. Anyone can report the species that they have seen and search among the over 53 million records in the database, including private individuals as well as professional conservation officials and researchers. The reporters consist mostly of amateurs and dedicated volunteers, but also nature conservation officials, researchers and others who collate species observation data. Together they constitute the basis of the Swedish Species Observations Gateway and create the national dataset. The Gateway has become an essential tool for professionals, for example from the regional administrative authorities, as well as NGOs for environmental management planning and implementation. Moreover, the Gateway is also a meeting place for nature lovers, as a simple and secure way to keep track of their findings as well as sharing information between each other. The Gateway was developed, and is maintained, by the Swedish Species Information Centre at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency. Common Knowledge and Citizen Science. The Gateway helps to stimulate increased interest towards species and the environment. By making it a pleasure to share one's observations, we hope that more people make a trip into the countryside to search for, to find, and to report their sightings to the Gateway - and thus contribute to better nature management.

BkiUbds5qoYDgXBRp7yx | Donald Trump's jaw-boning may have scuttled Sterling on Thursday night, but his admissions on Friday that a soft Brexit wouldn't necessarily block a UK-US trade deal gave the Pound something of a lift ahead of the weekend break. This theme of support is now being extended, despite the news that Boris Johnson will deliver a resignation statement in Parliament later today. Some commentators are drawing parallels with Geoffrey Howe, who went through a similar process back in 1990, marking the beginning of the end of Margaret Thatcher's tenure. Others however believe that Boris has backed himself into a corner. Regardless of what happens, we do finally seem to be moving towards knowing just how Brexit will be implemented - and such certainty will typically be welcomed by markets.
Aside from the political agenda, the week ahead is getting off to a relatively quiet start although that US Advance Retail Sales print due at 1.30pm BST will attract some attention. On Friday, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment reading fell short of expectations, but that didn't stop the Federal Reserve from painting an upbeat picture of the economy in its bi-annual monetary policy report to congress. However, with rising inflationary pressures off the back of the trade tariffs being implemented on many imports into the US, the Federal Reserve really needs to be able to keep hiking interest rates as planned. Any slump in today's sales figures would have the potential to weigh on the dollar, albeit maybe only in the short term.
Looking forward to Tuesday, this could see some pivotal news with regard to the idea of a Bank of England rate hike next month. UK unemployment - and perhaps more significantly the wages data - will be keenly watched as anything at or better than expected here would really heap pressure on Mark Carney's team to make the move in August. As well as managing inflation, it's important to remember that higher interest rates give the central bank the traditional ammunition needed to boost the economy in the event of an economic downturn.
The pair is almost one and a half cents higher than Friday's lows and is continuing to advance in early Monday trade. Although we still have no clarity over how the UK's trading position will look after March next year, it's the hope that we're seeing some uncertainty being removed that is providing support. A messy leadership challenge would have the potential to reverse any gains quickly.
The euro found support on Friday both on read-across from the perceived improving position for GBP and also that slightly worse than expected consumer sentiment reading from the US. Short term gains may be extended if those US retail sales figures fall short.
The Pound has recovered from the 'Trump dump' of Thursday but is failing to make any further progress. The Euro certainly seems to have the upper hand for now, although data supporting the idea of a BoE rate hike could tip the favour back in Sterling's direction. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUc3M5jDKDyJ94WvqK | Q: Mongoose connect throwing a warning I am writing a mongodb connected app and while connecting to the server like bellow getting a warning like this:
Db.prototype.authenticate method will no longer be available in the next major release 3.x as MongoDB 3.6 will only allow auth against users in the admin db and will no longer allow multiple credentials on a socket. Please authenticate using MongoClient.connect with auth credentials.
My codes are like bellow
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import config from './config';
mongoose.connect(config.db.uri);
at config.js
const config = {
name: 'API',
version: '0.0.1',
env: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development',
port: process.env.PORT || 3000,
base_url: process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
db: {
uri: 'mongodb://admin:harry123@127.0.0.1:27017/ai?authSource=admin',
},
}
export default config;
I am using Node v8.0.0 and mongoose 4.10.5
A: The warning is due to the MongoDB driver deprecating the API used by mongoose's default connection logic. As of mongoose 4.11.1 you can opt to use mongo client by setting the useMongoClient option, for example
mongoose.connect(config.db.uri, { useMongoClient: true, /* other options */ })
Be reminded that using Mongo native client may have unwanted effects, so be sure to test everything out exhaustively
See more details here
A: This is a harmless warning and a known mongoose issue. See the mongoose thread for details, but as of mongoose 4.10.5, there is no known workaround and it shouldn't affect your application's functionality.
A: Db.prototype.authenticate method will no longer be available in the next major release 3.x as MongoDB 3.6 will only allow auth against users in the admin db and will no longer allow multiple credentials on a socket. Please authenticate using MongoClient.connect with auth credentials.
Yes, this is a harmless warning and a known mongoose issue. as said by @
Phu Ngo
So, you can get away with this issue by updating to the latest version of mongoose which is above 4.11.1.
After upgrading the version, this warning may appear if you have used options for connections.
he server/replset/mongos options are deprecated, all their options are supported at the top level of the options object [poolSize,ssl,sslValidate,sslCA,sslCert,sslKey,sslPass,sslCRL,autoReconnect,noDelay,keepAlive,connectTimeoutMS,family,socketTimeoutMS,reconnectTries,reconnectInterval,ha,haInterval,replicaSet,secondaryAcceptableLatencyMS,acceptableLatencyMS,connectWithNoPrimary,authSource,w,wtimeout,j,forceServerObjectId,serializeFunctions,ignoreUndefined,raw,bufferMaxEntries,readPreference,pkFactory,promiseLibrary,readConcern,maxStalenessSeconds,loggerLevel,logger,promoteValues,promoteBuffers,promoteLongs,domainsEnabled,keepAliveInitialDelay,checkServerIdentity,validateOptions,appname,auth]
According to the error message;
the server/replset/mongos options are deprecated, all their options are supported at the top level of the options object
so, the solution to the problem is simply moving the setting options from the server, replset, socketOptions, mongos and any other hierarchy options up to the top level of the object.
Solution with examples
A: I fixed this problem simply by using MongoClient.connect instead of mongoose.connect
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient
MongoClient.connect(config.uri, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.log('Could NOT connect to database: ', err);
} else {
console.log('Connected to database: ' + config.db);
}
});

BkiUd2Q4uBhi8DXP6FEf | Scientists Edge Closer To Stem Cell Therapy For Parkinson's
Allan Ajifo, 'Brain Lobes,' via Flickr. CC BY 2.0
Promising new results from a rat study suggest that an effective stem cell therapy for patients with Parkinson's disease could be within our grasp. After injecting brain cells derived from human stem cells into rats with models of the condition, the rodents' ability to control movement was restored. Furthermore, after examining their brains, they found that the cells brought dopamine levels back to normal. While more work needs to be done, the study brings scientists one step closer to the use of stem cell transplants in human trials. The work has been published in Cell Stem Cell.
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative condition in which dopamine-producing cells in part of the brain are progressively damaged and lost over time. This causes a gradual decline in dexterity and the ability to control the speed of movement. While there is no cure, therapies such as drugs and brain stimulation can reduce symptoms, but their effectiveness wanes over time.
A different treatment approach, which involved transplanting brain tissue from fetal cells, was trialed fairly recently, but it had mixed results. Some patients had long-lasting benefits, but some experienced involuntary movements which were driven by the graft. The use of fetal cells also has ethical considerations, and supplies are scarce.
But there could be a different way to replace the damaged tissue in patients' brains: stem cells. Before they can be used in humans, however, researchers need to make sure that they survive and functionally integrate into the brains of animals. To find this out, researchers from Lund University took dopamine neurons (brain cells) derived from human embryonic stem cells and injected them into rats with a model of Parkinson's disease.
Not only did the cells exhibit long-term survival in the rodents' brains, they also brought dopamine levels back to normal in just five months. Furthermore, the cells established long distance connections with other brain regions, and communicated with the correct target areas. These crucial outcomes allowed motor function (the control of movement) to be restored in the animals with a similar potency to that observed when human fetal neurons are transplanted. This suggests that stem cells could be a viable alternative to using fetal cells, which is important given the practical and ethical issues surrounding these cells.
"It's a huge breakthrough in the field [and] a stepping stone towards clinical trials," said lead researcher Malin Parmar. Although it's still early days, the researchers believe that these trials could begin as early as 2017.

BkiUdDI4eIZjn9vgHqWS | An Accurate AAPI Count in 2020 - 5:27
with John Yang, President and Executive Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice-AAJC
https://comcastnewsmakers.com/Videos/2018/5/4/An-Accurate-AAPI-Count-in-2020
Preparations are underway for the 2020 United States Census. A fair and accurate count of all communities is of major importance, as data gathered is used to determine federal funding, congressional representation and more. For some populations, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, the process can be of concern due to immigration status, language barriers and fear of providing personal information. John Yang, President and Executive Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice-AAJC joins Robert Traynham to discuss the importance of an accurate count, especially for the AAPI population in America.

Traynham: The 2020 Census is just two years away, as the data gathered determines everything from federal funding for communities to congressional representation. A fair and accurate count is of major importance, especially for underserved populations. Hello, and welcome to "Comcast Newsmakers." I´m Robert Traynham. With me to discuss the U.S. Census and its importance to the AAPI community is John Yang, president and executive director of Asia Americans Advancing Justice -- or AAJC. John, welcome to the program. -
Yang: Thank you very much.
Traynham: I think it´s important to set this up. The Constitution mandates that every 10 years, the country counts itself. So, here we are in 2018. Two years away in 2020, we as a society should have an accurate count of how many people are in this country. As I mentioned before, it´s everything from who represents them or us in the government, but also funding. As I understand it, John, there are a lot of people out there in the community that are very, very concerned about a government worker knocking on their door... [ Knocks on desk ] ...and saying, "I want to count you." No? -
Yang: That´s absolutely right. One of the greatest concerns, especially in the current environment, is to have government workers asking for information about people. And especially in this environment, which, unfortunately, is anti-immigrant, it is targeting vulnerable populations, whether it is people of color, whether it is people that are disabled. We are very concerned that we aren´t going to get an accurate count. At the end of the day, we don´t get a chance for a do over. The Census only comes every 10 years, and so we have to get it right this first time. So it´s incumbent on all of us to make sure that we get the message out, to make sure people understand how important it is and why the census is necessary to get the resources to people.
Traynham: John, it sounds like there´s a lack of trust between minority-served communities and the federal government. As you mentioned, there´s an environment out there that is perceived to be anti-immigrant, that is perceived to be anti-brown people, that is perceived to be hostile. So how do you bridge that gap when it comes to the lack of trust in the community? How do you lower the anxiety, and, quite frankly, legitimately, some of the fear that some people have?
Yang: Absolutely. And so you have to do a number of different things. Part of it is making sure you have what we call trusted messengers. So, it will not necessarily be government workers. It might be, for certain people, their ministers, their pastors assuring them that this information is important and they need to respond to the census. The other aspect of the census is that this time, for the first time, we´re going to use a lot more technology so that people can respond to the census online. So that offers a degree of protection, certainly, but people do have worries and concerns about online privacy, as well. So, again, how do we bridge that gap, make sure that information gets out there, proper information gets out there, accurate information gets out there, to put people at ease in responding to the census?
Traynham: It sounds like, John, there needs to be local ambassadors -- your words -- trusted individuals that people trust. I´m more willing to chat with you if you look like me. I´m willing to share some personal information about myself if, in fact, I feel as though my information is safe. So, how are you doing that? -
Yang: That´s correct. So there´s a couple of different components to that. One is actually to work with the Census Bureau. Make sure that they hire people, what they call enumerators, that reflect the communities that they will be serving, that they will be going out in. Because you´re absolutely right. If they culturally, linguistically, with respect to language skills, can work with that community, we will get a much better count. But then the second component is the community itself -- making sure that the community gets out the word, whether it is through fliers, whether it is through advertisements, to say, "This is important," and to earn that trust over the next couple of years so that when the day comes, we get what we need.
Traynham: John, we´ve got about 45 seconds left. Specifically for the community that you represent, AAJC, is there any message that you would like to send to the folks that are watching this program, perhaps at home or on their smart device? Is there one take away? And my second part of the question is, is there any place where they can go to get information?
Yang: Sure. So one place is, obviously, our website, which is advancingjustice-aajc.org. And we have information about the census, information about what is going on out there that should put people a little bit more at ease. But the other thing I would encourage people to do is start looking out for materials on the census. The Census Bureau, as well as community organizations, will have materials in the field. Start to be on the lookout for them starting in 2019 in the ramp up to 2020, and get themselves familiar with what to expect.
Traynham: John Yang, we look forward to having you back on the program to talk about all of the progress that your organization is doing. President and Executive Director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice. Thank you very much for joining us.
Yang: Thank you.
Traynham: And, of course, thank you for joining us, as well. For more great conversations with leaders in your community and across the nation, visit comcastnewsmakers.com. I´m Robert Traynham.

BkiUbWA5qhDACjhvwTzi | Jimmy Johnson: Urban Meyer is 'frustrated' by spending 'little time' with Jaguars players
Nate Davis
Jimmy Johnson is one of three coaches to win the Super Bowl and a college football national championship – Barry Switzer and Pete Carroll round out the exclusive trio – and understands the difficulty of transitioning from the amateur ranks to the NFL as well as anyone.
Johnson believes his former colleague at Fox Sports, Urban Meyer, could find similar success in the pros after winning three national titles (two at Florida, one with Ohio State).
However Johnson revealed during a Zoom call leading up to his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction that Meyer, the new coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, is already navigating his professional learning curve.
"He's a little frustrated right now because he's spent so little time with the players," Johnson said Wednesday.
"He's accustomed to being around the players all the time, and they weren't able to do that because of COVID-19."
MORE:Urban Meyer, Jacksonville Jaguars subpoenaed for documents related to Chris Doyle hiring and resignation
The Jaguars were fined $200,000 by the NFL earlier this month, Meyer docked $100,000, for violating no-contact rules during offseason practices. The Jags will also lose two OTA sessions in 2022.
But despite a bumpy start that included Meyer's ill-advised decision to hire controversial former University of Iowa strength coach Chris Doyle, who parted with the Jaguars after just two days, Johnson foresees long-term success for an organization that has missed the playoffs 12 of the past 13 seasons and hasn't reached a Super Bowl in its 26-year existence.
"Urban's very thorough. Urban has spent his due diligence getting ready for this job," said Johnson, who spoke with Meyer on Wednesday morning and plans to attend part of Jacksonville's training camp.
"He knew what he was getting into when he accepted the job. We had numerous conversations during the job process. And I think he'll do a great job. He knows how important personnel is. He knows how to deal with people."
Johnson said Meyer joined him on a fishing trip years ago, and they "talked football all day."
He was able to share his own experience leaving the University of Miami (Florida) in 1989 for the Dallas Cowboys, whom he elevated from a 1-15 season to Super Bowl champions in 1992 and 1993.
Not that it was a seamless transition – even if you have a quarterback like Troy Aikman (or Jacksonville rookie Trevor Lawrence) in place.
"There's not a world of difference, there's a galaxy of difference," Johnson said. "As a college coach, I was a mentor, I was kind of a father figure, I did a tremendous amount of counseling with the players. They were young kids that had left home for the first time in their life, all the pressures of getting that college education, the pressures of the girlfriend, the pressures of living away from their family.
"So my relationship with the players was a heckuva lot different than professional players, who are really – they're dictated by financial reasons, it's a business, their agents are influencing them – so it's a completely different relationship."
He also cited the NFL's lengthier season and parity as significant hurdles.
"I didn't even need to show up, we had so much talent," he said of his time with the Hurricanes, joking his wife would have won eight or nine games as their coach.
"You're gonna have to be at your best for maybe three games a year (in college)."
Meyer's new players have already credited him with changing the Jaguars' culture, and he understands he's a rookie himself in some ways.
"I'm learning, I expect it to be a little different," Meyer said earlier this offseason, "but if you're not a competitor, you certainly wouldn't be here."
He must also concern himself with the salary cap, a different practice structure with far fewer players than he had available in the college ranks while not overworking his roster in the midst of a regular season that now spans 18 weeks.
Said Johnson: "It's really a different world, professional football."

Yemeni human rights activist Karman, the first Arab woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, will discuss the role of women in the changes sweeping across the Middle East. Among Yeminis, the outspoken Karman is known as "the iron woman" and the "mother of revolution." Her brief arrest in January helped ignite protests by hundreds of thousands demanding that President Ali Abdullah Saleh's authoritarian regime be toppled and replaced by a democratic government. After holding her for a day, the authorities released Karman and she immediately went back to leading demonstrations.

BkiUePw4eIOjSMCf8e0u | Imagine that you have been given $2,000, and you are charged to take it and make more money. How would you do so?
Would you go and try to find ways to invest it? Would you use it to buy some tools or some other resources so that you could work and make money with them? Would you buy property and hope that it would increase in value? At the very least, would you not put it in a savings account at a bank and make interest on it?
What do you expect would happen to you if you did nothing with the money at all? What if you went and spent it on things that did not lead to profit? If the $2,000 were whittled away to nothing, what could be done?
We can see clearly the consequences of how people handle worldly wealth: some impoverish themselves by irresponsible living, and others take opportunities provided to them and become successful in life. The difference is rarely seen in terms of natural abilities; the difference involves what one chooses to do with that which one has been given.
"I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him" (Luke 19:26) .
Should we say that Jesus is just enriching the already rich? By no means! The stories are not really about money; they are about the gifts that God has given us. God has given to each person gifts according to their measures and abilities (cf. Romans 12:6-8). He does not expect everyone to be able to accomplish the same amount or to be exactly alike: diversity of talents and specialties is expected in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-28)!
What God does expect is for us to put our talents to use for His Kingdom! In Luke 16:8, Jesus upbraids the "children of light" because they are not wiser than the "sons of this world." We have plenty of examples of people who have come from relative poverty and have become quite rich because they were willing to use the gifts they had to make money, yet how often are we willing to put our gifts to use for God? What would happen if we applied our talents and energies to promoting God's Kingdom as much and as often as people of the world apply theirs to gaining money? How much more like Christ would we be, and how many more people would we attract to the faith (Matthew 5:13-16)?
We would never take money and just sit on it. Why do we take the gifts God gives us and let them rot away? God expects us to take what He has given us and use it to advance His will (1 Peter 4:10-11). If we are found to have wasted the talents God has given us, not only will we "have not," but even that which we "have," our soul, will be cast into the outer darkness (Matthew 25:30)! What, then, will you do with your talents? | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Leonardo Da Vinci's Monalisa On Nails!!
July 11, 2018 Creative Nails 3 Comments
Our WhatsApp group "Polish Buddies" June month theme was to draw any famous painting on nails. I chose Monalisa as it was in my list from long time.
Leonardo Da Vinci's Monalisa On Nails
Portrait of Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo; This painting is painted as oil on wood. The original painting size is77 x 53 cm (30 x 20 7/8 in) and is owned by by the Government of France and is on the wall in the Louvre in Paris, France.
This figure of a woman, dressed in the Florentine fashion of her day and seated in a visionary, mountainous landscape, is a remarkable instance of Leonardo's sfumato technique of soft, heavily shaded modeling. The Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression, which seems both alluring and aloof, has given the portrait universal fame.
The Mona Lisa's famous smile represents the sitter in the same way that the juniper branches represent Ginevra Benci and the ermine represents Cecilia Gallerani in their portraits, in Washington and Krakow respectively. It is a visual representation of the idea of happiness suggested by the word "gioconda" in Italian. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait: it is this notion which makes the work such an ideal. The nature of the landscape also plays a role. The middle distance, on the same level as the sitter's chest, is in warm colors. Men live in this space: there is a winding road and a bridge. This space represents the transition between the space of the sitter and the far distance, where the landscape becomes a wild and uninhabited space of rocks and water which stretches to the horizon, which Leonardo has cleverly drawn at the level of the sitter's eyes.
The painting was among the first portraits to depict the sitter before an imaginary landscape and Leonardo was one of the first painters to use aerial perspective. The enigmatic woman is portrayed seated in what appears to be an open loggia with dark pillar bases on either side. Behind her a vast landscape recedes to icy mountains. Winding paths and a distant bridge give only the slightest indications of human presence. The sensuous curves of the woman's hair and clothing, created through sfumato, are echoed in the undulating imaginary valleys and rivers behind her. The blurred outlines, graceful figure, dramatic contrasts of light and dark, and overall feeling of calm are characteristic of da Vinci's style. Due to the expressive synthesis that da Vinci achieved between sitter and landscape it is arguable whether Mona Lisa should be considered as a traditional portrait, for it represents an ideal rather than a real woman. The sense of overall harmony achieved in the painting especially apparent in the sitter's faint smile reflects the idea of a link connecting humanity and nature.
In the Renaissance which brought together all human activities, art meant science, art meant truth to life: Leonardo da Vinci was a great figure because he embodied the epic Endeavour of Italian art to conquer universal values: he who combined within himself the fluctuating sensitivity of the artist and the deep wisdom of the scientist, he, the poet and the master.
In his Mona Lisa, the individual, a sort of miraculous creation of nature, represents at the same time the species: the portrait goes beyond its social limitations and acquires a universal meaning. Although Leonardo worked on this picture as a scholar and thinker, not only as a painter and poet, the scientific and philosophical aspects of his research inspired no following. But the formal aspect – the new presentation, the nobler attitude and the increased dignity of the model – had a decisive influence over Florentine portraits of the next twenty years, over the classical portrait. With his Mona Lisa, Leonardo created a new formula, at the same time more monumental and more lively, more concrete and yet more poetic than that of his predecessors. Before him, portraits had lacked mystery; artists only represented outward appearances without any soul, or, if they showed the soul, they tried to express it through gestures, symbolic objects or inscriptions. The Mona Lisa alone is a living enigma: the soul is there, but inaccessible.
10 Facts You Might not Know about the Masterpiece
1. She lived with Francois I, Louis XIV and Napoleon
Although da Vinci began work on his masterpiece while living in his native Italy, he did not finish it until he moved to France at King Francois I's request. The French king displayed the painting in his Fontainebleau palace where it remained for a century. Louis XIV removed it to the grand Palace of Versailles. At the outset of the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte kept the painting in his boudoir.
2. It is a painting but not a canvas.
Da Vinci's famous masterpiece is painted on a poplar plank. Considering he was accustomed to painting larger works on wet plaster, a wood plank does not seem that outlandish. Canvas was available to artists since the 14th century, but many Renaissance masters preferred wood as a basis for their small artworks.
3. She has her own room in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
After the Louvre launched a four-year, $6.3 million renovation in 2003, the painting now has its own room. A glass ceiling lets in natural light, a shatter-proof glass display case maintains a controlled temperature of 43 degrees F. and a little spotlight brings out the true colors of da Vinci's original paints.
4. The eyes have it.
People have come up with all sorts of theories about the painting, some educated and some downright silly. In 2010, members of the Italian National Committee for Cultural Heritage announced that microscopic scrutiny of the work had revealed new discoveries. In the madonna's right eye, the artist's initials L.V. appear.
5. Jackie Kennedy invited her to visit.
Over the centuries, French officials have only rarely let the painting out of their sight. However, when first lady Jackie Kennedy asked if the painting could visit the U.S., French President de Gaulle agreed. "Mona Lisa" went on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and then at the Metropolitan Museum of the Arts in New York City.
6. A thief made her famous.
Although in the art world, the painting had always been an acknowledged masterpiece, it wasn't until it was stolen in the summer of 1911 that it would capture the attention of the general public. Newspapers spread the story of the crime worldwide. When the painting finally returned to the Louvre two years later, practically the whole world was cheering.
7. Picasso was under suspicion for the theft.
During the investigation, the gendarmes went so far as to question known art dissidents such as Pablo Picasso about the theft. They briefly arrested poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who had once said the painting should be burned. Their suspicions proved to be unfounded.
8. She receives fan mail.
Since the painting first arrived at the Louvre in 1815, "Mona Lisa" has received plenty of love letters and flowers from admirers. She even has her own mailbox.
9. Not everyone is a fan.
Various vandals have tried to harm da Vinci's famed masterpiece, and 1956 was a particularly bad year. In two separate attacks, one person threw acid at the painting, and another individual pelted it with a rock. The damage is faint but still noticeable. The addition of bulletproof glass repelled subsequent attacks with spray paint in 1974 and a coffee cup in 2009.
10. She cannot be bought or sold.
Truly priceless, the painting cannot be bought or sold according to French heritage law. As part of the Louvre collection, "Mona Lisa" belongs to the public, and by popular agreement, their hearts belong to her.

BkiUdbnxaKPQounYEaee | 05 London Design Festival – Could this building save the planet and solve the world's housing crisis?
Many people won't be aware that the building and construction industry is responsible for more than a third of global energy consumption.
Team that staggering statistic with the fact that we have an ever-more pressing need for housing all over the world, and climate change is an issue that isn't going to go away on its own, and you've got a big problem.
It's a dilemma that Shoreditch-based architect firm Waugh Thistleton has set out to address with its ingenious and innovative project, MultiPly, which is being showcased in the Sackler Courtyard at the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of the London Design Festival until 1st October.
MultiPly, a nine-metre tall pavilion, aims to show how cross-laminated timber (CLT) could address the housing crisis in an affordable and practical way, and remove climate-damaging greenhouse gases from the atmosphere at the same time.
Created with sustainable American tulip wood, MultiPly is a super-durable maze-like structure of interconnecting cubes. The whole structure can be flat-packed, moved and reassembled with ease, and emissions released during processing, transportation and installation are offset by the carbon that the CLT absorbs from the atmosphere. Plus, growing the trees in the first place has a positive impact.
Waugh Thistleton, well-known within the industry as an advocate of sustainable timber building, has been producing thoughtful projects in its own East London neighbourhood and beyond since university pals Andrew Waugh and Anthony Thistleton founded the practice in 1997. Now the company is regarded as a world leader in engineered timber and pioneer in the field of tall timber buildings. MultiPly is a great opportunity to see up close the amazing advances that are being made in this sector.
Ultimately, the argument for increasing the use of sustainable CLT in construction, together with a focus on affordability, modularity and efficiency, is hard to dispute. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbJc5qsJBjjDuqj1w | When the revisions feature is enabled, a snapshot of a document that holds Counters will include in its metadata a @counters-snapshot property, that holds all the document's counter names and values (at the time of the revision creation).
This can be useful when historic records of the documents and their counter values are needed.
Creation of a new counter and deletion of a counter modify the parent document (documents hold their counter names in the metadata) and will trigger a revision creation.
Incrementing an existing counter does not modify the parent document and will not trigger a revision creation. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbWI5qsFAfmeJoqB4 | Today during my visit with my son at the hospital, where he is there so they can properly adjust his medications due to ADHD, he told me that he is playing with himself at night when he cant sleep (which is often).
Ok, we've all done it, but my son is 7.. He is adopted, but has been with us for several years. His previous foster parents beat him so bad with a belt, after loosing their cool with him, that they went to jail for a year. The home before that would lock him up in the basement all day, so they could watch tv in "peace". Before that.. well, you get the picture.
After hearing this, I'm starting to wonder if he was sexually abused somewhere along the line because 7, sounds really young to me to realise this type of feelings, but I could be wrong, I dont remember back that long.
Anyone want to share how old their child realised this?
Well, you're lucky you had that information shared with you. Not many children would tell their parents that! I remember when I first found out about the "m" word, I was 11...but I sure didn't tell my parents! My own two children are 7 and 12 and so far, I haven't found out anything different.
It is part of what they were exposed to. While I didn't find out about "M" when I was 7, I was kissing boys and exposing myself to them-just playing, but it was inappropriate...but then again, I heard s e x all about my house...witnessed it with my parent's friends...so I wasn't growing up in the best environment and I am sure whatever I was doing, was their fault.
I would try to find out about any sexual abuse because he might need counseling. I woulldn't want to so much say it is a bad thing to him...but make sure that no one else sees it, he doens't talk about it with anyone else...and then give him the discussion that on anyone else, anything that would be covering by a bathing suit is private parts and he isn't allowed to touch anyone's and NO ONE is allowed to touch his.
Have a talk with him about what's private and what's private behavior. It sounds as though he is self-comforting this way. I agree, it sounds like the little guy has had some bad things happen that are affecting his behavior, but it's good you know about it and can help him deal with it.
Thanks, that pretty much confirmed what I thought. I surely dont remember doing things like that at 7... wow.
Thanks, thats pretty much the angle I took it on, its normal, just do it in your own room in privacy. I'm under the impression that there was no sexual abuse in his past because we asked in detail about these facts, but we had another kid in our how that we did not adopt, (was never a plan) who was 3, and he was doing things, but he was abused.
Our son has been in our home for 2+ years, and hasnt done anything to show that he had been, I just know I would not have brought this up with my parents if I did it at 7.
It's perfectly normal, but as someone already said, it is better than normal that he feels comfortable telling you about it!
My elder boy did this, but not my younger son. We joked with him about it but didn't make a huge deal of it, and gave him the 'your body is private' talk too.
I think the chance of being kind, honest and open with his family is the best therapy your son will ever receive. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

How To Disrupt 16 Practices of Gender-based Violence In College Life
Posted on December 8, 2016 by regina
Every year, we are pleased to welcome a guest "16 For 16" article from our partner, Breakthrough – a global human rights organisation working to make violence and discrimination against women and girls unacceptable. Their cutting-edge multimedia campaigns, community mobilisation, agenda setting, and leadership training equip men and women worldwide to challenge the status quo and take bold action for the dignity, equality, and justice of all.
This year, Breakthrough shares a list of 16 actions that college students can take to disrupt violence against women in college life.
Many rigid gender norms–cultural rules about how people should behave because of their perceived gender–can cause harm because they perpetuate a culture where gender-based violence is seen as a normal or even inevitable part of the college experience. Some of these practices have become so normalized in college and university life that they can seem impossible to change. But YOU can become an agent of change by unpacking the norms that drive these practices, and thinking outside the box to disrupt and challenge the ways these cultural norms cause harm to students in your community.
Here are 16 examples of gender norms in practice that we'll bet you've come across before. Are some of these prevalent at your university? If you're interested in disrupting and transforming any of these practices on your campus, Breakthrough's Action Hotline is a great resource to get you started! We offer free mentorship for students looking to change culture on campuses across the U.S., and help you brainstorm, plan, and implement your idea for action.
Practice #1 – "Ladies Night!"
You've probably seen this in the form of "women drink for free" or "$2 cover for ladies." – the promise of drunk women in a way that promotes rape culture. Possible disruptive actions? Satirise the ways in which drunk women are used as objects in advertising to call this practice out for what it is. Create media campaigns that show how pervasive–and harmful–this practice is, and model new ways of getting customers and making money that don't involve rape culture.
Practice #2 – Victim blaming (Among Peers)
Bullying or shaming survivors of violence, often by suggesting that they were responsible for their own victimisation as opposed to placing blame on the person who chose to commit an act of violence. This can increase the incidence and harmful effect of violence. Potential disruptive actions? A "No Blame" campaign – Collect and share examples of victim blaming on campus and offer solutions and healthier frameworks. Respond to victim blaming by flooding social media or apps like YikYak with positive messages calling out this practice. You and your friends dress up as referees – striped shirts and whistles – and throw a flag when you hear or see victim blaming behavior.
Practice #3 – Victim blaming (Institutional/Systemic)
Rules and policies enforced (or not enforced) by administrators and staff place blame on the actions of the victims, and not on the person that chose to commit violence against them. It is asking survivors what they were wearing, how much they drank, or what they could have done differently to avoid violence. Potential disruptive actions? Run a spotlight campaign focused on highlighting what should be included in school policy, and explaining the harms caused by institutional victim blaming. Speak out to local and national media when cases of institutional victim-blaming occur to bring external pressure to bear on the situation.
Practice #4 – "Rating" Women Based on Their Looks and Sexual Availability to Men
This practice can be a formal system among a specific group on campus, or an informal "in-joke" most often amongst men. It sounds like "she's a ten" or language like "grenade" used to refer to women. Whatever the language, this practice says that a woman's value is based on her looks and sexuality, creating a culture where men are pressured to have sex with certain women, and women are expected and pressured into sex or are assaulted and raped. Potential disruptive actions? Whistleblowing – reveal the depths of this practice if it has become a tradition. Make it clear that it happens on your campus and will not happen anymore – take inspiration from the Harvard Women's Soccer team.
Practice #5 – Sexual Scoring
Like so many harmful norms, this one has a long history in language like "notches on your belt or bedpost". This practice arises out of the idea that masculinity = having lots of heterosexual sex, and coercive and non-consensual behavior often become accepted parts of the game. Potential disruptive actions? Get competitive instead about calling out actions that pressure people to have sex. Keep score on that and share strategies and tips to step up your game.
Practice #6 – Taking/recording Photos/Video Without Consent
Whether through hacking, hidden cameras, or in other ways, taking intimate or degrading photos, videos, Snapchats and more without the person's knowledge, permission, or consent causes harm whether it is shared or not. Potential disruptive actions? Use stories of people affected by this practice to create understanding of the harms and impacts it causes. Transform conversations around sexual consent to include discussions of intimate photos and videos.
Practice #7 – Non-Consensual Photo/Video Sharing
Often existing alongside the previous practice, the act of sharing or threatening to share intimate photos and videos without their consent (even if they were taken with consent!) as an unacceptable violation that often causes harm, shame, and stigma. Potential disruptive actions? Use storytelling to encourage a sex-positive, non-shaming approach to conversations around intimate photos. Run reactive campaigns when incidents occur that show solidarity with victims.
Practice #8 – "Rush boobs" (And Other Trophies)
An often formalised component of sexual scoring is the collection of "trophies", sexually objectifying women and creating a culture that pressures men to "get" sex however they can. Trophies and a high score are prioritised over consent and respect. According to Total Frat Move: "Since the dawn of the internet, fraternity members have been convincing girls to write "Rush (Insert Fraternity Here)" across their chests for promotional purposes." Potential Disruptive actions? Call out and replace this practice by writing "RUSH __" on random objects to showcase the absurdity of the tradition. Flood social media with this on the relevant hashtags.
Practice #9 – The "Friendzone"
Ah – the "friendzone". The idea that "nice guys" are entitled to the romantic or sexual interest of a woman, and that men are "victims" of women only wanting to be friends with them (the horror!). This is one of the more insidious and seemingly benign components of rape culture and really needs to go. Potential disruptive actions? Create a multimedia campaign using examples of the "friendzone" from pop culture– TV shows, lyrics, films, or blogs. Talk about the inherent sexism and use this idea to elevate discussions around consent and autonomy. Designate a space on campus to be an actual "friend zone" – where people of all genders can just be friends without the pressure of sex, or a space where friends can be honest with each other about their expectations of their relationship. Or maybe a space to keep anyone who complains about being in…….the friendzone.
Practice #10 – Shaming Women's Sexuality ("Slut-shaming")
This age-old practice of using loaded language to shame women for their sexuality or their appearance is a prime example of the double-standard for women when it comes to sex (see "sexual scoring" above). Potential disruptive actions? Take the shame out of sexuality through sex-positive storytelling. Offer new ways to talk about the moments that are often linked to slut-shaming (AKA "the walk of shame" becomes the "stride of pride").
Practice #11 – Rape Culture Banners ("Drop Your Daughters Off Here, Dads")
Every fall, massive banners displayed across Fraternity houses meant to intimidate new students – particularly first year women – are unfurled (trust us, you can google it). These banners often contain threatening and offensive messages that trivialize sexual assault. Potential disruptive actions? Take inspiration from Will & Bill who started Banner Up! At Indiana University in response to rape culture banners at their school. Get dads involved since these banners often implicate them as well.
Practice #12 – Control of Access to Alcohol
On many campuses, men (and most often, fraternities) have control over other students' access to alcohol. Students, and especially underage students, have limited access to alcohol, which creates greater opportunity to isolate, coerce, force alcohol on, and sexually assault others. Potential disruptive actions? Flip the script – put women or other groups in charge of access to alcohol for a change. Work with chapters at other schools to challenge problematic policies and rules at a national level.
Practice #13 – Homophobia and Transphobia
Dehumanising LGBT folk through discrimination, violence, and the use of homophobic and transphobic language is a problem in and of itself. It also is used to regulate and police other people's behaviors and reinforces inequity and violence. Potential disruptive actions? Build empathy culture: create systems of peer accountability for homophobic and transphobic behavior. If you are not LGBT yourself, center the experiences of LGBT students in your work on your own campus and build strong alliances.
Practice #14 – "The Perfect Victim"
The practice of discrediting victims based on their sexual history, appearance, gender, race, or any other facet of their identity is common and is a part of victim blaming. Promoting the idea of a "perfect victim" makes it easier to disbelieve, blame, and silence all survivors of sexual violence and/or relationship abuse. Potential disruptive actions? Offer new, real narratives from survivors in your own community. Run campaigns that seek to broaden campus-wide understanding of who can be a victim.
Practice #15 – Colluding with Those Who Commit Violence
Protecting students and others who perpetrate violence because of their perceived value to the school is all too common on campus and in communities everywhere, and it normalises and increases the amount of violence committed. Potential disruptive actions? Create accountability culture: work with students to understand that it is not in the best interest of the community to protect those who commit violence, use student and local media to draw attention to cover ups, work with alumni, parents, and others to hold the administration accountable for transparency.
Practice #16 – "Standards"
Peer-led committees or boards enforce a code of conduct within student organisations, in a system that is meant to protect the reputation of an organisation. Potential disruptive actions? Change your standards: it's a peer enforced system. Challenge shaming within your community. Check yourselves.
If you're inspired to take action to disrupt any of these practices–or want to take a closer look at the norms that drive a culture of gender-based violence in your community–take advantage of Breakthrough's Action Hotline today!

BkiUdKE5qsMAIw7A6EsN | Warhammer 40,000 – I've posted some additional photos in the gallery for the Dawn Spears custom Space Marine chapter I've been working on for a client. This is a basic 3-Color job with custom decals.
This batch consists of some scouts, landspeeder storms, librarian and an assault squad. I believe with the last batch and these he has most of the models he would need to run the formations from the Kauyon, Damocles Crusade supplement.
Next up I'll be working on wrapping up some Barbarians for a D&D client as well as the two Salamander commissions I've been grinding away at. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUeQXxK3YB9raX1f-U | Very cute -- thanks for this model! I printed this on a Replicator 2 and found that scaling the lid to 103% made it fit pretty well. No scaling was too loose, and 105% was definitely too tight -- I had to break it off with pliers.
I printed this up and took it with me to Maker Faire SF Bay Area this weekend. People had a lot of fun playing with the box. FWIW, I printed mine at 200% and they were a little loose. Great design!
Cool! Thanks for doing that and reporting back.
The old "impossible dovetail" made into a useful box. Good idea! | c4 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdhA25V5itcKZFmvl | Our solutions will reduce stress.
Keep the things you use the most within easy reach.
Planners and "To Do" lists are the handrails which guide you through the day.
We wear 20% of our clothes... 80% of the time.
"I had tried everything to get organized and nothing worked until I found Arranging It AllSM. They quickly got to the root of my issues and one session changed the way I work and live. I'm still organized today thanks to you!"
Easy for him to say. If you shelter as much junk as the universe has stars, finding simplicity is, well, relative.
But there's an industry itching to help. From professional organizers and senior move managers to consignment shops, container makers, hauling services and storage facilities, lots of folks are eager to guide you from chaos to calm.
Everyone has stories. As a child, my friend Richard watched his Mom burn her wedding dress, saying "What're the odds I'd ever wear that again?" At 55, his Dad emptied the attic, "So we'll be ready when the time comes." Dad died 20 years later and Mom, now 89, still lives with that vacant attic overhead.
My sister Carol attached a big safety pin to every piece of clothing in her pack-rat husband's closet and tied pairs of shoes together. A year later, she gave away every still-pinned or tied item, the majority of clothing. Hubby never noticed the vanishing.
My niece Arlene rose to the challenge of a 100-year-old Atlanta home without closets in two of her three kids' bedrooms. She uses under-bed storage and won't let a child buy anything without designating a place for it. Her 16-year-old designed and installed a wall of shelving and drawers in her bedroom.
At the other extreme are hoarders. Niece Beth is a Kansas City real estate investor whose buys include hoarder homes no real estate agent will touch. She donates mountains of items to schools, charities and recyclers of glass, textiles and scrap metal.
Hazardous waste is sent to the county recycling facility. Still, several junk-filled dumpsters must be hauled away.
His firm has 10 employees to meet demand, including seniors wanting to downsize. He encourages them to give belongings to their children, whom he advises to "take it even if you don't keep it" — a helping hand during parents' transition.
This column was prompted by a dear friend, Lily, as she slipped into dementia. Lily was single with no children, so friends helped her dispose of contents in her three-bedroom house before she moved closer to a sister.
Eager to spare my husband and daughter such duty, I became a clean-out maniac and found Next to New on Burnet Road. Run by St. David's Episcopal Church, this store offers a 50-50 split on consigned items, with their half funding several worthy charities.
In 18 months, I hauled 156 items to Next to New, earning $311 and an equal charitable tax deduction. I learned that paring down is the addictive counterweight to hoarders' compulsive collecting. I love gazing into my half-empty closet.
What keeps many folks from uncluttering is confusion about how to dispose of things. Most hate the idea of their discards heaped into landfills. A city of Austin website can help. Search "Austin Resource & Reuse Drop-Off Center" to access links on what the center accepts and how to responsibly dispose of other items. The Austin Materials Marketplace fosters business-to-business reuse of materials. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUeOQ4eIOjR-dm6BqY | Many novice Wedding MC's ask how to MC a wedding.
And it's a great question because there's a lot of planning that goes into knowing how to MC a wedding reception.
It also shows that you, as the Wedding Master of Ceremonies, want to do a professional job and make it a fun and memorable time for the bride and groom.
Because the wedding reception is such an involved event, you'll need time to prepare not only the wedding reception agenda but also the introductions, wedding games and entertainment, and checking out the venue to make sure everything is ready on the wedding day.
Each of these areas will take time to plan properly.
If you leave things to the last moment you risk missing important parts of the reception and overlooking special moments to make the wedding a lasting memory for the newlyweds.
The bride and groom have given you a huge amount of responsibility. But chances are they don't know what's involved with your duties. They're leaving that up to you as Master of Ceremonies.
That's why it's important that you find out what's expected of you and what the bride's vision of the reception is.
After all, she'll have spent most of her time choosing a theme and table settings and centerpieces as well as the menu for the meal.
But she may not have put much thought into making the reception a celebration of her big day because she's handing that responsibility over to you.
You'll need to know what's going on – and only the bride and groom and planners will be able to answer specific questions you have so you can be brought up to speed.
> You'll need to know who will be in the bridal or wedding party.
> You'll need background information on the bride and groom if you don't know them very well as well as the members of the bridal or wedding party.
> You'll need background on guests who will be giving speeches and toasts and information on dignitaries, if dignitaries are attending the reception.
In How To Be A FUN Wedding MC I have a detailed list of questions you can ask so you know what's going to happen at the reception.
> When you consult with the bride and groom and wedding planners you'll also need to know what wedding games and entertainment are planned so you can include those events in your agenda or run sheet.
> You'll also have to meet with key people involved in the wedding planning including the planners, the event manager at the venue, members of the bridal or wedding party, and the caterer when you're at the venue.
> You'll need to know the layout of the venue and the layout of the head table.
> You'll need to know the order of the bridal party for introductions.
Chances are, especially if you've never been a Wedding MC before, you'll find that your Wedding MC Duties and Responsibilities will be overwhelming because you won't know what to do or where to start.
As with anything that you're unfamiliar with, you're going to have many questions as you get involved in your duties.
Fortunately, there's a terrific guide – How To Be A FUN Wedding MC – which shows you how to MC a wedding reception from start to finish and it will save you restless nights and a huge amount of time and stress.
You'll want to make sure you have all of the bases covered before you enter the reception hall on the wedding day.
In fact, How To Be A FUN Wedding MC has extensive checklists to make sure you've covered just about everything.
Focus the attention on the bride and groom – not yourself.
As Wedding MC you're an organizer and facilitator. You conduct the events of the reception but the spotlight is on the newlyweds.
This is the bride and groom's special day. Remember, the wedding guests came to see them, not the Wedding Emcee.
Make sure you pronounce people's names correctly.
This is one area where preparation can pay off because there's nothing more embarrassing than mispronouncing someone's name – especially if it's the groom's last name! So be sure to check to ensure your pronunciation is correct and make appropriate notes on your agenda or in your notebook.
Arrive at the wedding reception venue early. There's nothing worse than people wondering where the Master of Ceremonies is – especially if things are about to get underway. When you're late things get disorganized and it leaves a poor impression. If the venue is a long way away, make sure you leave plenty of time to get there and anticipate traffic delays.
One of the signs of a true professional is being on time and ensuring everything is in order before the wedding party and guests arrive.
Create a party atmosphere at the reception. The wedding is a celebration so it's your responsibility to keep the tempo upbeat and fun.
Your duty as a Wedding Emcee is to successfully transition the wedding guests from the religious ceremony to a celebration of the marriage.
Don't embarrass the bride, groom, or wedding guests. If the groom or bride doesn't want to "say a few words" for example, don't pursue the matter. Be gracious and understanding – especially when it comes to public speaking – because many people are terrified of public speaking.
This tips also includes using humor or jokes.
Use good judgement in what you say to get a laugh. If in doubt…leave it out.
Follow the bride and groom's directions. This is where sitting down with the bride and groom beforehand and planning the reception will help you avoid embarrassing mistakes. If the newlyweds ask for something in particular, make sure you include it in the agenda so it's not forgotten.
Click the following link to discover How To Be A FUN Wedding MC which includes wedding games and entertainment, sample agendas or run sheets showing the order of events at the reception, MC scripts, preparation sheets, checklists, contingency planning, and much more for the novice Master of Ceremonies at a wedding reception.
If you're the MC At A Wedding then there's one area that should be discussed with the wedding planners.
And that's whether there should be "Open" wedding speeches and toasts.
This is the time during the wedding speeches segment of the reception where wedding guests are invited to stand up and make a short impromptu wedding speech or toast.
There are pros and cons to "Open" wedding speeches and toasts.
On the one hand, it can be a wonderful experience to hear spontaneous good wishes and sentiments from close friends and relatives – especially if the speaker or toaster is eloquent.
On the other hand, there is a dark side to spontaneous comments – there's a very good possibility of inappropriate remarks being made – especially if the speaker or toaster has had too much to drink.
Sometimes a joke might seem funny to the speaker but could embarrass or humiliate the bride and groom or the guests.
As well, speeches can drag on and the event can become boring. And the last thing you want as MC at a wedding is for the reception events to drag on and have bored wedding guests.
For the most part, "open" wedding speeches and toasts are not normally part of the wedding speeches event.
But, ultimately, it's up to the bride and groom to decide whether there will be "Open" wedding speeches and toasts.
And it's your responsibility as Wedding MC to find out what their wishes are and to make a note on your wedding reception agenda.
As Wedding Emcee I'm sure you'll want to take your Wedding MC Duties and Responsibilities seriously.
After all, the bride and groom chose you to be the Wedding MC at their reception for a reason.
They have confidence in you.
And because they have confidence in you, they expect big things from you.
They expect you to create a memorable wedding reception.
They expect the wedding reception to be fun.
After all, they want to enjoy their special day with people who are close to them.
What better way to honor the bride and groom than to put on a wedding reception that is FUN and memorable.
Even if you've never been a Wedding MC before, there is help available – in How To Be A FUN Wedding MC – that takes you step-by-step in creating a fun wedding reception.
To the bride and groom, their wedding day and the celebration at the wedding reception are going to be a lasting memory.
Make that lasting memory not just a good one…but a great one.
Click The Following Link For The Complete Wedding MC Guide On How To MC A Wedding Reception.
The Wedding Reception Program and Wedding Reception Agenda are similar but have distinct differences and uses – especially for the Wedding MC.
Think of the Wedding Reception Program as something that is given to the wedding guests for their information and as a keepsake of the wedding.
The Wedding Reception Program highlights the main events of the wedding reception and can be created from the wedding reception agenda.
It can also include such things as menu information, after-party information, as well as a personal thank you note from the bride and groom.
The wedding reception agenda (or wedding reception runsheet), on the other hand, is a detailed outline of wedding reception events and is particularly important for the Wedding MC.
It will include times, key events, games for the wedding reception, entertainment and other activities, surprises you might have in store for the bride and groom, and any special notes you need to make to ensure the reception flows smoothly.
Special notes could include names of songs, introductions, order of wedding speakers and toasters, a schedule of entertainment events, and more.
In fact, your wedding reception agenda can be as detailed or as concise as you like because it will be your personal guide throughout the reception.
Where the wedding reception program is general in nature and primarily for the wedding guests, the wedding reception agenda is much more detailed and is used by the Wedding Emcee.
The Wedding MC Run Sheet – or Wedding Reception Agenda – is an important aid for the Wedding MC both before and during the wedding reception.
The Wedding MC Run Sheet outlines the sequence of events during the wedding reception – from the beginning to the end.
The Wedding MC Run Sheet helps the Wedding MC plan what will take place during the reception and is entirely flexible.
It will start with the Grand Entrance.
And it will end with the Final Farewell.
In between the Grand Entrance and the Final Farewell, you'll plan all the events that will take place during the reception – including the meal, the wedding speeches and toasts, the group activities, the entertainment, and the dancing.
In How To Be A FUN Wedding MC the Wedding Reception Run Sheet is completely laid out from start to finish.
Plus, you'll get samples of the Wedding Reception Run Sheet that you can review with the bride and groom as you sit down and plan the reception with them.
Click The Following Link For The Complete Wedding MC Guide On How To Prepare The Wedding Reception Run Sheet.
Just as the Wedding MC should know the Order of Toasts, many Wedding Emcees also need to know the Order of Events – also known as the Wedding Agenda – at a wedding reception.
The Order of Events at a wedding reception is quite flexible.
In How To Be A FUN Wedding MC you'll get examples of the Order of Events.
These examples come in very handy as you prepare for the wedding reception.
You can sit down with the bride and groom and create a unique wedding reception that is both fun and memorable.
The Wedding MC has many duties and responsibilities throughout the wedding reception.
And if you've performed your Wedding MC Duties well, the wedding reception will be a success.
What often happens, though, is that very often the Wedding MC doesn't know what to say or what to do.
And that's entirely understandable – many wedding receptions are big events with a number of things that need attention.
If you're a novice Wedding MC then chances are things will be missed simply because you didn't know what to do.
And because things are missed, the wedding guests can get bored or events just won't work out as planned.
And there will be no added touches that make the reception a very special event for the newlyweds.
On top of that, as Wedding MC you probably don't know how to make the wedding reception a FUN celebration.
When the bride and groom spend thousands of dollars on the wedding reception, they want it to be a memorable event (even if they're not entirely sure how to do that).
Wedding MC checklists and a sample wedding agenda or run sheet.
Plus, you'll need word-for-word scripts on what to say.
You'll also need a timeline that shows you what to do and when you should do it so you're organized and ready for the reception.
You'll need wedding reception games and wedding reception activities.
Most importantly, you'll need IDEAS on how to make the wedding reception a celebration.
In fact, you'll need to know the secrets to kicking things up a notch to get the wedding guests in the mood for a fun time.
A wedding reception is an event that takes considerable planning and time to prepare.
And that's where you can rise to the occasion and show off your talent as a Wedding MC even if you've never been one before.
As the Wedding Emcee you owe it to the bride and groom to make sure you're properly prepared for one of the most important days of their lives.
If you're a Wedding MC who wants to create a memorable wedding reception for the bride and groom then check out How To Be A FUN Wedding MC. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUd6zxaL3Suji9iKtA | Q: Joomla dynamic stylesheet using template parameters in a css.php file I am trying create a template with a dynamic css.php file. I have spent the entire night googling for a solution to calling the joomla object class in a php file being used as a css file. I know Ive seen this done before, i just never paid attention to how it was accomplished. This is what I have so far.
Note - I do not want to use addstyledecloration as it is too cumbersome when dealing with more than a few params *
index.php:
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
require($this->baseurl.'templates/'.$this->template.'/includes/config.php');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<jdoc:include type="head" />
</head>
config.php:
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
//joomla configuration
JLoader::import('joomla.filesystem.file');
JHtml::_('jquery.framework', false);
JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$config = JFactory::getConfig();
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$template_path = $this->baseurl.'/'.'templates'.'/'.$this->template;
$jui_path = $this->baseurl.'/media/jui';
$doc->addStyleSheet($jui_path.'/css/bootstrap.min.css');
$doc->addStyleSheet($jui_path.'/css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css');
$doc->addScript($jui_path.'/js/bootstrap.min.js');
$doc->addStyleSheet($template_path.'/css/template.css');
$doc->addStyleSheet($template_path.'/includes/template-css.php');
$doc->addScript($template_path.'/js/template.js');
?>
template-css.php:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/css");
?>
body {background-color: #000;}
body {background-color: <?php $this->params->get('body') ?>;}
A: You have to load the whole joomla framework as you are in a request outside of your Joomla environment. How to load Joomla can be found here JFactory failing to import. Now you can select the template parameters trough a database select or load more classes to get the template object (not sure how to do this, don't have my dev laptop around).
A: You must first add a color picker in your templatedetails.xml which contains the template parameters
<field name="themecolor" type="color" description="Color picker" label="Template Color"/>
Then you must declare the variable in your config.php file
$themecolor = $this->params->get('themecolor');
$_SESSION['themecolor'] = $themecolor;
Now you will be able to use this variable in your css.php file
body {background-color: <?php echo $_SESSION['themecolor']; ?>}
You can read more about template parameters here

BkiUd0k4eIXgusHAGhBp | Q: Creating two different profiles in one application I am building a BlogApp App and I have two different sections, One is Blog Section and another is Article Section.
AND i am trying to create two different profiles for them.
When a user register or signup then a Profile is successfully creating for Blog Section ( NOT Article section ). BUT i am trying to do :- When user click on Article section after signup then there will be option of creating another Profile for Article Section and both will be different profile. ( AND there will be no relation between Blog Profile and Article Profile BUT user will same )
Blog Profile is successfully creating BUT I am trying to make Article Profile.
models.py
class ArticleProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User,default='',null=True,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
full_name = models.CharField(max_length=30,default='')
views.py
def create_profile(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ArticleProfileForm(request.POST,request.FILES,instance=request.user)
if form.is_valid():
custom_form = form.save(False)
custom_form.save()
messages.success(request, "Article Profile is Created")
return redirect('dating:DatingSection')
else:
form = ArticleProfileForm(instance=request.user)
context = {'form':form}
return render(request, 'dating/create_profile.html', context)
BUT when i create profile using this form then it is not saving in Admin.
Any help would be Appreciated.
Thank You in Advance.
A: I think the problem is here:
form = ArticleProfileForm(request.POST,request.FILES,instance=request.user)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
You are passing User as instance where the ArticleProfileForm creates ArticleProfile instance. So you need to remove that part of the code. And update the code like this:
form = ArticleProfileForm(request.POST,request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
custom_form = form.save(False)
custom_form.user = request.user # change here
custom_form.save()
If still the problem persists, try renderning the form errors to pin point what is exactly wrong here.

Teachers employ extra credit for a variety of reasons. For example, it may be felt that students who are highly capable may benefit from an additional challenge that might not be suitable as required work for all students. Extra credit may also be used as a way to allow a student to improve their grade after a weak performance earlier in a course. In both of these cases, extra credit can promote differentiated instruction by factoring in optional work in the assessment of student performance.
Method of computation
Typically, participation in extra credit can only improve one's grade. Points might be added to an existing activity, for example, if the student correctly answers a more difficult portion of a test that would be required to meet the objectives of a unit. Optional activities may also add points or marks used in overall grade computation. This may, for example, increase the numerator of the fraction used in computing an overall percentage, while leaving the denominator unchanged. This can lead to grade percentages that exceed 100% unless the policy used for grade computations caps a grade at a maximum value.
Controversial aspects
Author Julia G. Thompson refers to extra credit as "a controversial topic for teachers." In California, during late 2006, there was controversy when students were offered extra credits simply for buying course books in an effort to overcome a lack of resources.
In popular culture
The concept has been featured in a titular role in various works of fiction, including Amber Brown Wants Extra Credit and the Degrassi: Extra Credit series.

Born as a Greek Ottoman in Constantinople/Istanbul, Demetra Vaka Brown (1877-1946) moved to America where she became a journalist and novelist, revisiting Turkey to write several books about the twilight of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of the Turkish Republic. Her first book, Haremlik: Some Pages from the Life of Oriental Women, published in 1909, was based on experiences from 1901 when modernization had made inroads into Ottoman domestic life and the harem was becoming a thing of the past. Her reflections on life in the harem suggest the conflicted nature of her allegiances. On the one hand Haremlik is nostalgic for the Ottoman life that was rapidly disappearing, and on the other hand, its author enjoys the freedoms of a professional American woman. Tracing the emergence of a modern sensibility among Muslim women, Haremlik also reveals the predicament Vaka Brown faced in constructing an authorial and narrative identity in the interstices between East and West, modernity and tradition.
Yiorgos Kalogeras is Professor of English in the School of Philosophy, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Cultures in Dialogue returns to print sources by women writers from the East and West. Series One considers the exchanges between Ottoman, British, and American women from the 1880s to the 1940s. Their varied responses to dilemmas such as nationalism, female emancipation, race relations and modernization in the context of the stereotypes characteristic of Western harem literature reframe the historical tensions between Eastern and Western cultures, offering a nuanced understanding of their current manifestations.

BkiUdgTxK3xgpbERDTei | Malaysia Airlines signs contract with HCL AXON and SAP
PUBLISHED DATE: Jul 12, 2010
The national carrier has selected HCL AXON and SAP as partners to integrate its finance procurement and human resource functions as well as Engineering & Maintenance (E&M) operations at the KL International Airport and Subang Airport over 2 phases, from 2010-2012.
Malaysia Airlines Managing Director/CEO, Tengku Dato' Azmil Zahruddin said, "The ERP project will transform our business processes. The centralizing of all data and the ability to obtain real-time information will enable greater cost efficiencies, improve decision making and employee productivity as well as optimize our cash management."
The global project involves replacing legacy systems in the areas of finance and procurement in all MAS offices worldwide. This phase is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2011.
The total benefits expected from the project is estimated at over RM120 million per annum.
For its E&M operations in KLIA and Subang, MAS will be replacing many existing stand-alone legacy systems with SAP industry-specific solutions and iMRO v4.0, which provides additional choices and flexibility. The system will manage all MRO functions including maintenance planning, engineering operations, quality-control and supply chain. The scope will cover the MAS fleet, which includes 115 aircraft, 319 engines, and some 6 million parts. SAP's integrated solution will serve about 3000 users including aircraft mechanics. This phase is planned to be completed by the third quarter of 2012.
"E&M is expected to be a major revenue generator for MAS. The simplification and streamlining of processes, better control of parts inventory, and the automation of systems will drive E&M's efficiency, enabling it to contribute to MAS' P&L," Azmil also said.
Systems integrator, HCL AXON's Global Head of Travel and Transportation, Mr Patrick Grubbs said, "As key SAP partner in Malaysia, we are excited to embark on this benefits-led project with MAS. With the implementation of the iMRO solution developed by our local team and endorsed by SAP, we look forward to supporting Malaysia Airlines as they move forward with their Business Transformation Plan."
HCL AXON will also provide post go-live support services.
"We are proud to add Malaysia Airlines to our family of globally admired customers. The partnership with MAS further shows that the best run businesses run SAP", said Krish Datta, President of SAP South East Asia.
"Our experience with industry leading airlines around the world will allow us to effectively help MAS establish a strong technology foundation, drive towards planned business transformation, accommodate growth and adapt to market changes," he added.

BkiUdAw5qhDBUi61TpJr | Want to make your wardrobe more green? Here's how.
Want to make your wardrobe more green? Here's how.
And we don't mean just the color.
In the wake of the United Nation's damning climate report, people are scrambling to think of ways to make their lives more carbon neutral. Whether that means driving less, eating more vegetables, every little bit helps to try and stem the effects of global warming. Have you ever thought that one way to be more green, can start with your closet?
Many people probably wouldn't look to their closets when they think about climate change. Most issues around clothing production circle around human rights offenses. However, the recent fast fashion movement is to blame for a large portion of climate change. In fact, the fashion industry creates more pollution than international flights and maritime shipping, over 1.2 billion tonnes of carbon a year! This can account for 5% of global emissions yearly.
While everyone isn't able to afford an electric car or go vegan at the drop of a hat – we do have the ability to harness fashion as a tool for the global good.
One way to focus on limiting the global impact of the fashion industry is to simply buy less. This can come in many different forms, like recycling old clothes into new pieces, or going to thrift stores when you need to update your wardrobe.
While thrifting isn't the most glamorous method of shopping, it lowers the demand for new inventory. That means that clothing companies can slow the breakneck speed of production. It also increases the value of long-lasting, multi-use items. If a piece of clothing has survived multiple uses, it's clearly built to last.
With a little creativity, you can turn thrift store finds into perfectly tailored outfits. Learning to sew is a very versatile skill that can make you essential in any friend group. Your ability to make your outfits custom to your style and your size means that you can impact your network, showing them that fashion is yours alone.
If you do choose to shop, select pieces that can carry you through many seasons, and many years of use. Consider products that are built to last, so they don't need to be replaced often. Something as simple as a white t-shirt can come in a wide range of qualities – from ones that tear on the first use, to ones that you've owned for forever. Make sure you find these legacy pieces and hold onto them with love – they're good for you and the planet!
It's great to investigate and find brands that choose to be carbon neutral with their production. Many brands are moving towards carbon neutral production standards. You can find these companies by searching the web. One resource is the Global Organic Textile Standard, which ensures organic fibers and environmental standards for the entire supply chain behind a product – meaning that everything, even your red shirt, is green.
The UN Climate Report stipulated that widespread changes need to be made before our planet's temperature rises beyond our control. With goals set for 12 years in the future, we don't need to rely on our governments to act on our behalf.
We can start by simply cleaning out our closets. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbGo5qhDAChH9SsBm | Instagram adds Boomerang effects as TikTok looms
TikTok has spawned countless memes formats from its creative effects, challenging Instagram for the filtered video crown. Now nearly five years after launching Boomerang, Instagram's back-and-forth video loop maker is finally getting a big update to its own editing options. Users around the globe can now add SlowMo, "Echo" blurring, and "Duo" rapid rewind special effects to their Boomerangs, as well as trim their length. This is the biggest upgrade yet for one of mobile's most popular video creation tools.
The effects could help keep Instagram interesting. After so many years of Boomerangs, many viewers simply skip past them in Stories after the first loop since they're so consistent. The extra visual flare of the new effects could keep people's attention for a few more seconds and unlock new forms of comedy. That's critical as Instagram tries to compete with TikTok, which has tons of special effects that have spawned their own meme formats.
"Starting today, people on Instagram will be able to share new SloMo, Echo and Duo Boomerang modes on Instagram" a Facebook company spokesperson tells TechCrunch. "Your Instagram camera gives you ways to express yourself and easily share what you're doing, thinking or feeling with your friends. Boomerang is one of the most beloved camera formats and we're excited to expand the creative ways that you can use Boomerang to turn everyday moments into something fun and unexpected."
The new Boomerang tools can be found by swiping right on Instagram to open the Stories composer, and then swiping left at the bottom of the screen's shutter selector. After shooting a Boomerang, an infinity symbol button atop the screen reveals the alternate effects and video trimmer. Mobile researcher Jane Manchun Wong spotted Instagram prototyping new Boomerang filters and the trimmer last year.
Typically, Boomerang captures one second of silent video which is then played forward and then in reverse three times to create a six second loop that can be shared or downloaded as a video. Here are the new effects you can add plus how Instagram described them to me in a statement:
SlowMo – Reduces Boomerangs to half-speed so they play for two seconds in each direction instead of one second. "Slows down your Boomerang to capture each detail"
Echo – Adds a motion blur effect so a translucent trail appears behind anything moving, almost like you're drunk or tripping. "Creates a double vision effect."
Duo – Rapidly rewinds the clip to the beginning with a glitchy, digitized look. "Both speeds up and slows down your Boomerang, adding a texturized effect."
Trimming – Shorten your Boomerang with similar controls to iPhone's camera roll or the Instagram feed video composer. "Edit the length of your Boomerang, and when it starts or ends."
The effects aren't entirely original. Snapchat has offered slow-motion and fast-foward video effects since just days after the original launch of Boomerang back in 2015. TikTok meanwhile provides several motion blur filters and pixelated transitions. But since these are all available with traditional video, unlike on Instagram where they're confined to Boomerangs, there's more creative flexibility to use the effects to hide cuts between takes or play with people's voices.
That's won TikTok a plethora of ingenius memes that rely on these tools. Users high-five themselves using an Echo-esque feature, highlight action-packed moments or loud sounds with Duo-style glitch cuts, and conjure an army of doppelgangers behind them with infinity clones effect. Instagram Stories has instead focused on augmented reality face filters and classier tools like layout.
TikTok Screenshots
Hopefully we'll see Instagram's new editing features brought over to its main Stories and video composers. Video trimming would be especially helpful since a boring start to a Story can quickly lead viewers to skip it.
Instagram has had years of domination in the social video space. But with Snapchat finally growing again and TikTok becoming a global phenomenon, Instagram must once again fight to maintain its superiority. Now approaching 10 years old, it's at risk of becoming stale if it can't keep giving people ways to make hastily shot phone content compelling.

WhatsApp will finally let users encrypt their chat backups in the cloud
WhatsApp said on Friday it will give its two billion users the option to encrypt their chat backups to the cloud, taking a significant step to put a lid on one of the tricky ways private communication between individuals on the app can be compromised.
The Facebook-owned service has end-to-end encrypted chats between users for more than a decade. But users have had no option but to store their chat backup to their cloud — iCloud on iPhones and Google Drive on Android — in an unencrypted format.
Tapping these unencrypted WhatsApp chat backups on Google and Apple servers is one of the widely known ways law enforcement agencies across the globe have for years been able to access WhatsApp chats of suspect individuals.
Now WhatsApp says it is patching this weak link in the system.
"WhatsApp is the first global messaging service at this scale to offer end-to-end encrypted messaging and backups, and getting there was a really hard technical challenge that required an entirely new framework for key storage and cloud storage across operating systems," said Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg in a post announcing the new feature.
Store your own encryption keys
The company said it has devised a system to enable WhatsApp users on Android and iOS to lock their chat backups with encryption keys. WhatsApp says it will offer users two ways to encrypt their cloud backups, and the feature is optional.
In the "coming weeks," users on WhatsApp will see an option to generate a 64-digit encryption key to lock their chat backups in the cloud. Users can store the encryption key offline or in a password manager of their choice, or they can create a password that backs up their encryption key in a cloud-based "backup key vault" that WhatsApp has developed. The cloud-stored encryption key can't be used without the user's password, which isn't known by WhatsApp.

"We know that some will prefer the 64-digit encryption key whereas others want something they can easily remember, so we will be including both options. Once a user sets their backup password, it is not known to us. They can reset it on their original device if they forget it," WhatsApp said.
"For the 64-digit key, we will notify users multiple times when they sign up for end-to-end encrypted backups that if they lose their 64-digit key, we will not be able to restore their backup and that they should write it down. Before the setup is complete, we'll ask users to affirm that they've saved their password or 64-digit encryption key."
A WhatsApp spokesperson told TechCrunch that once an encrypted backup is created, previous copies of the backup will be deleted. "This will happen automatically and there is no action that a user will need to take," the spokesperson added.
Potential regulatory pushback?
The move to introduce this added layer of privacy is significant and one that could have far-reaching implications.
End-to-end encryption remains a thorny topic of discussion as governments continue to lobby for backdoors. Apple was reportedly pressured to not add encryption to iCloud Backups after the FBI complained, and while Google has offered users the ability to encrypt their data stored in Google Drive, the company allegedly didn't tell governments before it rolled out the feature.
When asked by TechCrunch whether WhatsApp, or its parent firm Facebook, had consulted with government bodies — or if it had received their support — during the development process of this feature, the company declined to discuss any such conversations.
"People's messages are deeply personal and as we live more of our lives online, we believe companies should enhance the security they provide their users. By releasing this feature, we are providing our users with the option to add this additional layer of security for their backups if they'd like to, and we're excited to give our users a meaningful advancement in the safety of their personal messages," the company told TechCrunch.
WhatsApp also confirmed that it will be rolling out this optional feature in every market where its app is operational. It's not uncommon for companies to withhold privacy features for legal and regulatory reasons. Apple's upcoming encrypted browsing feature, for instance, won't be made available to users in certain authoritarian regimes, such as China, Belarus, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Uganda and the Philippines.
At any rate, Friday's announcement comes days after ProPublica reported that private end-to-end encrypted conversations between two users can be read by human contractors when messages are reported by users.
"Making backups fully encrypted is really hard and it's particularly hard to make it reliable and simple enough for people to use. No other messaging service at this scale has done this and provided this level of security for people's messages," Uzma Barlaskar, product lead for privacy at WhatsApp, told TechCrunch.
"We've been working on this problem for many years, and to build this, we had to develop an entirely new framework for key storage and cloud storage that can be used across the world's largest operating systems and that took time."
Dispo launches a test to gauge user interest in selling their photos as NFTs
Dispo, the photo-sharing app that emulates disposable cameras, started rolling out a test yesterday that will record user interest in selling photos as NFTs. Some users will now see a sell button on their photos, and when they tap it, they can sign up to be notified when the ability to sell Dispo photos launches.
CEO and co-founder Daniel Liss told TechCrunch that Dispo is still deciding how it will incorporate NFT sales into the app, which is why the platform is piloting a test with its users. Dispo doesn't know yet what blockchain it would use, if it would partner with an NFT marketplace or what cut of sales Dispo would take.
"I think it's safe to say from the test that there will be an experience native to the Dispo app," Liss said. "There are a number of ways it could look — there could be a native experience within Dispo that then connects through an API to another platform, and in turn, they're our partner, but to the community, it would look native to the Dispo app."

This marks a new direction for the social media app, which seeks to redefine the photo-sharing experience by only letting users see the photos they took at 9 AM the next morning. From Dispo's perspective, this gimmick helps users share more authentically, since you take one photo and then you're done — the app isn't conducive to taking dozens of selfies and posting the "best" image of yourself. But though it only launched in December 2019, Dispo has already faced both buzzy hype and devastating controversy.
Until about a year ago, the app was called David's Disposables, named after co-founder and YouTuber David Dobrik. The app was downloaded over a million times in the first week after its release and hit No. 1 on the App Store charts. In March 2021, the app dropped its waitlist and relaunched with social network features, but just weeks later, Insider reported sexual assault allegations against a member of Vlog Squad, Dobrik's YouTube prank ensemble. In response, Spark Capital severed ties with the company, leading to Dobrik's departure. Other investors like Seven Seven Six and Unshackled Ventures, which contributed to the company's $20 million Series A round, announced that they would donate any profits from their investments in Dispo to organizations working with survivors of sexual assault.
Liss told TechCrunch in June, when the company confirmed its Series A, that Dobrik's role with the company was as a marketing partner — Liss has been CEO since the beginning. In light of the controversy, Liss said the app focused on improving the product itself and took a step back from promotion.
According to data from the app analytics firm SensorTower, Dispo has reached an estimated 4.7 million global installs to date since launch. Though the app saw the most downloads in January 2020, when it was installed over 1 million times, the app's next best month came in March 2021, when it removed its waitlist — that month, about 616,000 people downloaded Dispo. Between March and the end of August, the app was downloaded around 1.4 million times, which is up 118% year over year compared to the same time frame in 2020 — but it should be expected that this year's numbers would be higher, since last year, the app's membership was exclusive.
Now, with the announcement that Dispo is pursuing NFTs, Liss hopes that his company won't just change how people post photos, but what the relationship will be between platforms and the content that users create.
"Why NFTs? The most powerful memories of our lives have value. And they have economic value, because we created them, and the past of social media fails to recognize that," Liss told TechCrunch. "As a result, the only way that a creator with a big following is compensated is by selling directly to a brand, as opposed to profiting from the content itself."
Adding NFT sales to the app offers Dispo a way to profit from a cut of user sales, but it stands to question how adding NFT sales could impact the community-focused feel of Dispo.
"I think there is tremendous curiosity and interest," Liss said. "But these problems and questions are why we need more data." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUbF85qsNCPfdFdI9q | Please don't enforce the law, we like breaking it!
A forum was held last month at Lawrence High School by the Deval Patrick administration. Governor Patrick wanted to get feedback from the public on a federal program that would allow police to send fingerprints to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) when criminals are arrested.
The purpose of the program is to start the process of deporting illegal aliens who commit serious or crimes. It's called "Safe Communities" and it would drastically reduce the number of crime victims in Massachusetts.
But you would never know that listening to the people speaking against the program during this forum.
Opponents of the bill included the American Civil Liberties Union, The Socialist Worker's Party, The Brazilian Alliance, and whole host of organizations which advocate open borders and legalizing everyone who comes here, no questions asked.
They parroted the same tired rhetoric about the evils of capitalism and corporations. They preyed on the fears of Latinos by over emphasizing "racial profiling" as if this program was going to have cops dragging people from their homes just for being Latinos.
One woman who spoke against "safe communities" likened it to Adolf Hitler's extermination of millions of Jews during the Nazi Holocaust.
I do concede that there were legitimate concerns expressed by some who oppose the "safe communities" program. The issue of inaccurate government data was sorely under emphasized, and it's true that racial profiling is a concern to many immigrants. Let's face it, not all cops are good and sometimes innocent people can be targeted during the implementation of a program like this.
But, for the most part this was a dog and pony show.
The fact is, "safe communities" is race neutral. Criminals of every race will have their fingerprints sent to the federal government and cross referenced with a database to check their legal status.
Certainly American citizens (born and naturalized) should not have to tolerate citizens of other governments coming here illegally and committing crimes on our streets. But that is exactly what those who oppose this program are advocating.
By stopping the "safe communities" program they are allowing the status quo to continue. A status quo where the Immigration Service cannot get cooperation from local and State Police.
That means more tax dollars spent arresting and re-arresting the same criminals over and over again …while they parade through the revolving door of the Massachusetts Criminal Justice System. It means more victims (usually poor and minority victims) whose lives will be overturned or destroyed.
Since most other states have a "safe communities" program, it also means Massachusetts becomes a destination state for criminals who are also here illegally.
And it means more cops will be killed by people who have no right to be here in the first place.
American citizens, and only American Citizens have the right to decide who can enter the country, who can stay and how long they can stay. Those decision should not be made by citizens of other governments, countries hostile to this nation or some world body.
Listening to the arguments at Lawrence High School last month it was clear that many people really didn't understand what this program is and what it does. But, it was also clear that some people understood it very clearly and opposed it anyway.
The sad part about this sham of a forum is that a real important opportunity was lost. If you removed the union organizers, the socialist and pro-illegal alien organizations, and the local activists who do their bidding for Lawrence Mayor Willie Lantigua; what would be left is area residents with legitimate concerns about database errors falsely identifying someone as an illegal alien, and concerns about criminals who aren't supposed to be here in the first place.
Without all the political shenanigans this forum could have made a REAL impact on the community one way or the other. It could have been an opportunity to educate the public about how the federal government works and sometimes …doesn't work.
Now that's a discussion that would have been worth having. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
BkiUbnnxaKPQoqJ-AH5T | The conscientious objection: the duty to disobey. Interview of Jacques Suaudeau
The conscientious objection is increasingly giving rise to questions for health professionals particularly due to the emergence of fictive rights, which mistakenly become real rights in the public opinion: right to control your own body, right to abortion, right to the child… Why and how do health professionals conscientiously object? Interview of Jacques Suaudeau1, author of the book " L'objection de conscience ou le devoir de désobéir " (the conscientious objection or the duty to disobey).
G: In the whole of the first part of your book you start from historical examples of conscientious objectors, from Socrates to Thomas More, to define the conscientious objection and to dissociate it from the civil disobedience. Can you explain us the difference between both concepts?
J.S.: The conscientious objection concerns a particular law for a country. The characteristic of the conscientious objector is that he respects and honors all the laws of his country, he is a good citizen, but for a particular law, which appears to be morally wrong, he individually applies the conscientious objection clause. Instead the civil disobedience concerns a group of persons which disputes the legitimacy of a power and violates by this fact some of the injunctions of this power (the typical example is the movement led by Gandhi). The civil disobedience can have an ethical touch (Thoreau in the USA), but is first of all a resistance force to a power. The conscientious objection can also be the fact of a group, whose all members oppose to a law deemed to be immoral, thus non-binding, but each person of the group applies personally objection (and not as part of a group). The conscientious objector, starts from a personal reflection which obliges him to oppose to the law deemed to be unique, avoids any public disorder, and accepts the negative consequences that can generate his objection for himself (difficulty of carrier, isolation…).
G: You talk about a duty to disobey when a personal conscience contradicts an "objectively" unfair law. However we must know what the word "conscience" means, and what the "unfair law" is. May you enlighten us?
J.S.: The conscience is what enables us to perceive the existence of the good and the evil2. It is not an absolute master, but an instrument to refine. Thus there is a work to do starting from its culture, religion, limits, to improve its conscience in order to identify a law as unfair. The difficulty is that there is as many objective as subjective factors to qualify a law as "unfair". The objective factor for abortion, for instance, is to kill the fetus. But some persons will not qualify this law as unfair for all that. The conscientious objector will be attracting criticisms with others who will not have the same philosophic starting point. This philosophical pluralism comes from the fact that the natural moral law, which enables any person to make the difference between the good and the evil, has been questioned. This led us to relativism, and to the rupture between positive right and moral. This is from now the group of a moment which defines the good. However, there are basic elements to qualify a law as unfair: when it does not respect the value of the human life or the freedom of the other.
G: The code of conduct and the French legislation only authorize the conscientious objection for abortion or sterilization. However some legal obligations can raise problems for health professionals without planning a conscientious objection.
J.S.: The conscientious objection must be governed because in the guise of conscientious objection we could lead to anarchy. Thus the State must specify who can apply conscientious objection, on which points and in which conditions. This partcipates to the common good. But this also conducts to various inequalities. For instance the law does not foresee the conscientious objection for pharmacists or students. Having said that, there is only real conscientious objection when it is not foreseen by the law. For instance, the physician who is obliged to propose the prenatal4 diagnosis for Down syndrome to a couple he knows intentions of abortion in case of diagnosis of Down syndrome, can feel that he cooperates to abortion which will follow the announcement of the Down syndrome. The same applies to the pharmacist which is obliged to have abortion pills in stock. However in both cases the law does not foresee conscientious objection. For the PND of Down syndrome, if the physician knows when prescribing the screening tests that the intention of the woman is to abort the Down syndrome diagnosed foetus, his cooperation is established. Also the physician, who wishes to object to this process when he knows the parents' intention to abort, has every interest to specify that he does not prescribe these tests. For the pharmacist, he can attempt to circumvent the things saying to his clients that he does not have any pills on stock.
In all cases, the conscientious objector has every interest to make his principles known, to make use and to be good and honest practitioner. This way he will be less exposed to difficult cases. When those occur, the professionals, while maintaining their objection, have to accompany the person, by clearly explaining why they will not accept the demand of VTP of the woman for instance.
G: What is your reaction on the recommendation of the French HCEfh5 to remove the conscientious objection to affirm a "fundamental right" to abortion, as well as the ongoing legislative process on the extension of the offense of obstruction to the abortion?
J.S.: The law on abortion is an unfair law. Then the government can do what it wants, but with such projects it goes in a democratic direction, it has a moral basis, or that it respects people. The removal of the conscientious objection has been clearly rejected by the European Parliament, and France ratified the Oviedo convention which protects the embryo, then France should be logic.
In this regards, the responsibility of our politicians is high. If the law is contrary to the moral they have the duty to limit it with amendments and to tell that they are against this law.

Conning the Constitution
September 3, 2012 CPeters Leave a comment
Constitution goes out to sea in Boston Harbor, August, 2012
When I reached Charlestown Navy Yard on August 19, 2012, it seemed like a perfect morning to be underway in the harbor: clear skies, a forecast high in the mid-70s, and the ship going to sea was USS Constitution, set to sail on her own power for the second time in 131 years. Reporting as her conning officer was certainly the last thing I ever expected to do.
Six months earlier, Commander Matthew Bonner, Constitution's 72nd commanding officer, asked if I'd be up for the job. Boston NROTC, where I teach navigation and naval operations to midshipmen, has a long standing relationship with Constitution. With only an Executive Officer and Operations Officer, the wardroom would be fully stretched that day. I was understandably more than happy to help out.
Once onboard, I surveyed the area where the navigation team and I would be working. The harbor chart was laid out on a folding table in front of the ship's proud 10-spoke wooden helm about three quarters of the way aft. Navigation equipment was rather limited; a magnetic compass on each side of the ship's wheel was the only permanently installed equipment. Technicians from Naval Sea Systems Command, onboard to monitor the stability of the ship, had also installed a digital reader for course and speed.
As the underway time of 1000 neared, the ship was buzzing with activity. Constitution's normal crew is around just over 50, but they had assistance from 150 Chief Petty Officer-Selects temporarily assigned for a two-week CPO heritage program. Also onboard were several former Constitution commanding officers, Medal of Honor recipient Captain Tom Hudner (Ret.), three flag officers, and the British Consul General. With the crew taking in the last line and casting us into the harbor, I could feel the shared excitement as we began our historic cruise.
There was no conning to be done, initially. One primary tug boat and a backup were towing the ship approximately three miles to a predetermined "sail box" just past the channel entrance where we would have up to a mile to maneuver with sufficient separation from shoal water. Despite not having active control of the ship, two Quartermasters laid regular fixes from a handheld GPS receiver.
Once in the channel, Commander Bonner and the British Consul General laid a wreath overboard to honor the 7 American and 15 British sailors who died in the fierce battle between Constitution and HMS Guerriere 200 years ago that day. Constitution's vanquishing of the British frigate was a milestone victory for the early U.S. Navy and also the occasion where the ship earned her famous "Old Ironsides" moniker.
Summer weekends are popular times for pleasure boaters in Boston Harbor, and that Sunday was no exception. Hundreds of boats were out in the harbor to catch a glimpse of America's ship of state, with many trying to follow along for the whole cruise. Fortunately, the Massachusetts State Police, Boston Police, Massachusetts Environmental Police, and U.S. Coast Guard provided escort and protection with a sizable exclusion zone around Constitution.
The two-hour trip to the sail box flew by. Before I knew it, our two tugs were turning us around between Deer Island and Long Island and into position. Around this time our "sail master," a First Class Boatswains Mate, began barking commands to a hybrid team of Constitution crew and CPO-selects. In well-rehearsed sequence and with dozens of Sailors on various lines, the crew raised Constitution's three main sails. The world's oldest commissioned warship was coming to life.
It was almost game time for me and my helmsman, a First Class Sonar Technician. We reviewed what we learned the prior Friday during steering checks: maximum rudder in either direction is 20 degrees, one full turn of the wheel is 10 degrees, therefore each of the wheel's 10 spokes represents one degree of rudder. There was no rudder angle indicator like one typically finds on ships. Instead, a black marking on the line wrapped around the wheel moves forward and aft relative four rows of line on either side as the wheel turns.
The Quartermaster recommended course 260T to return us to the western end of the sail box and back into the channel. To verify we were on that heading, I called over to the still-connected tug's captain. Constitution's two magnetic compasses fluctuated during the transit and now displayed conflicting headings, and since we were still dead in the water, our digital course repeater was unable to help. After verifying that we were on the correct heading, I was ready to go.
"Conn, tug's cast off!" the Captain yelled to me, and with a "Rudder amidships," we were off and sailing. The entire crew, who had worked so hard and waited so long for this special moment, erupted in spontaneous applause as the tugs moved away and took ready station off our quarters. I can recall the surreal feeling of looking to my left and right seeing no tugs and knowing that I was playing a small part in navigating this almost sacred warship, and would remember it for the rest of my life.
I allowed myself only a brief period to soak in the moment and then kept my focus on driving the ship. Although we were laying frequent fixes, I relied on input from the Captain, who had climbed partway up the ship's rigging for a better view. Standing by the helm, one has only a limited view of what is actually ahead of the ship. As we intended to maintain course, only minor rudder adjustments were required.

USS Constitution handled very surely. At roughly two knots speed over ground, we pressed ahead. Our speed, while slow, impressed everyone onboard since we had a tail wind of just about three knots. That was just enough to fill our sails and keep Joshua Humphrey's brilliantly designed ship moving ahead. News helicopters circled overhead and hundreds of boaters kept up with what must have been a majestic sight. The last time Constitution was underway on sail power was 1997, and prior to that was 1881.
USS Constitution and HMS Guerriere have at it in 1812
Seventeen minutes later, our brief sail into history came to an end. The tug returned, the crew partly lowered the sails, and Constitution was no longer under our direction. It felt like no time at all, but I relished every second. It was a great feeling to shake hands with the helmsman and quartermasters as we shared congratulations and absorbed up what we had just done.
We were not finished yet, though, as the return to Charlestown was still ahead and Constitution still had one more show to put on. The tug brought us to a stop just north of Fort Independence at Castle Island, where thousands (including my mom) had assembled for a view. The crew came to attention, and with a thunderous "boom" a 21-gun salute commenced. Dozens of surrounding boats answered with their whistles and the harbor was alive with enthusiasm. Afterwards, in an unscripted moment, the Chief-selects broke out in "Anchors Aweigh," soon joined by the whole crew. We sang so loudly that the crowd on shore could hear, I later learned, and they loved it.
LT Chris Peters, after the wardroom meal of hard tacks and salted beef
Around an hour later, a small crowd welcomed Constitution back to the Navy Yard, and we moored where we had started roughly four hours earlier. Knowing that the day's events were almost certainly something I would never take part in again, I took time to reflect before disembarking. I thought of naval heroes like Edward Preble and Stephen Decatur who walked Constitution's decks two centuries before. Considering their bravery, courage, and the impact they and USS Constitution had on our early Navy and the country, I was incredibly humbled to feel so connected to their history. I also thought of the professional, passionate Constitution sailors I met that day. Those impressive men and women are heirs to and representations of our proud past. On August 19, 1812, USS Constitution's iron-like live oak hull repelled British cannon fire, but it was the courage and resilience of the American Sailor that won the day and continues to keep our Navy strong.

Meteorology Rules
May 31, 2012 Scott C-P Leave a comment
Taming the Cobra
An interesting post on gCaptain for professional mariners as we enter hurricane season proposes an update to the Mariner's 1-2-3 Rule.
I admit that unlike its 3-2-1 Rule brother for operating with aircraft carriers, I'd never heard of the 1-2-3 Rule. Most of the hurricane tracking, forecasting, and avoidance in the U.S. Navy is distributed to ships by the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center in Monterey in conjunction with Fleet Weather Centers Norfolk and San Diego, established in 2010 to consolidate weather services for their respective U.S. fleets (2nd, 4th, and 6th from Norfolk, the rest from San Diego). Officer training focuses on interpreting and using the distributed products rather than understanding how they were developed, but a fundamental education in basic meteorology and oceanography is still taught as part of required naval science courses.
As it should be. While thanks to satellite imagery, much more accurate weather reporting, and advances in communication technology we're unlikely to see a repeat of the Cobra Typhoon disaster in World War II (picture above), understanding the seas plays an important role in things such as predicting the range of pirate skiff attacks.

BkiUdVI5jDKDyIlaYr5S | The old real-estate adage "location, location, location" is still true, especially for luxury-home buyers. But because space can be tight in prime urban locations, they are looking for ways to make the most of things.
Homes at the high end of the market, costing $4-million and up, are moving very well, says Paul Maranger, a senior vice-president of sales and broker with Sotheby's International Realty Canada.
But wealthy clients are moving away from mega-homes, says Mr. Maranger. Instead, they are focusing on smaller spaces, but that space needs to be more luxurious and in a better location.
Among the features they are looking for are exercise pools, elevators and super high-end appliances, such as kitchen stoves.
In addition, environmentally friendly features are of little interest. In fact, heavy users of electricity, such as in-floor radiant heating and heated driveways and walks, are popular.
Here are furnishings that are trending at the top of the real-estate market.
Motorized lap pools offer a clever way for homeowners to exercise without installing a full-sized pool. Those made by Endless Pools start at 2.1 by 3.6 metres and are customizable in 30-cm increments. They can be installed in basements and garages; outdoor models are heated for year-round use.
A propeller system pushes a current of water wider and deeper than the swimmer's stroke at variable speeds. These pools can be used for therapy or to challenge competitive athletes.
An optional underwater treadmill has been a hit in recent years, says Endless Pools spokesman Daniel Fraley.
One reason these pools are becoming more attractive to homeowners is because of their sophisticated air ventilation systems, Mr. Maranger says.
Elevators are pricey but they can let owners age in place, says Katrina Maheu, marketing director of Savaria Inc., an installer based in Brampton, Ont.
A traditional elevator with a separate shaftway starts around $25,000, but costs vary considerably. The company's newer, top-of-the-line Vuelift model, pictured, starts at $70,000 for two stops but doesn't need significant construction to install.
Mr. Maranger says buyers are increasingly looking for elevators, thinking longer term. "People are cognizant of elder parent-care issues," he says.
Elevators and high-end stoves are the basics of a luxury home, Mr. Vermast says.
More common are stoves by Brigade and Wolf, the pair say. "That's perceived to be a normal asset in a luxury home, said Mr. Vermast.
Wealthier home buyers are also installing steam ovens. Sensors on the Wolf 30-inch E-series professional convection steam oven ($6,000), for example, will analyze the volume, shape and consistency of the food, adjusting time, temperature and humidity automatically.
Closets are always a hot commodity, but custom rooms are having a moment, among them craft and gift-wrapping rooms, sophisticated laundry rooms with natural light, and even garages outfitted with high-grade commercial epoxy flooring, custom built-ins, carwash stations and dog baths, say Mr. Maranger and Mr. Vermast.
Polina Savchenko, a design consultant at California Closets's Toronto office, says a custom craft room could range from $600 to $1,400 per linear foot, with top-end designs featuring leather details, drawer organizers and premium doors.
Prices vary considerably based on the finishes, lighting and accessories, she said.
Among the limitless number of impressive features you can install in your kitchen is the Dacor WineStation. This temperature-controlled wine dispensing and preservation system lets you pour as little or as much wine as you'd like from up to four bottles. It can be placed on a counter or installed in a kitchen or any room in your home. It keeps wine fresh for up to 60 days.
Mr. Maranger says he's also seeing a move toward smaller wine cellars rather than large ones, as well as other ways to display your collection, such as wine towers and wine walls.
Washrooms have joined kitchens in having showroom status in luxury homes. Among the trends are larger master baths as well as adjoining master baths with a shared shower, said Mr. Maranger. Buyers also want large windows, he said.
Specialty toilets are another luxury feature making their way into this formerly functional space. The Neorest AC model is the "most intelligent toilet" from the Japanese company Toto Ltd.
It has a Tornado Flush system, adjustable heated seat, a UV-light cleaning system, as well as an air purifying system that mists the bowl with electrolyzed water. The bidet function offers an adjustable sprayer and oscillating and pulsing comfort washing.
The toilet also comes with a remote control and auto lid open and close. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdZQ5qhDACrbib9iN | Q: Spring batch Spring integration We are using spring batch 2.1.x coupled with spring integration 2.0 for the poller jobs. There are scheduled jobs as well in the mix.The launching of all these poller and scheduled jobs happen by invoking the spring batch api. We have around 60-65 jobs in total. Very frequently in the production environment what we are seeing is the jobs go into "starting" and they do not recover. So once we observe such occurrences we have to keep restarting our servers which contains our spring batch application. The backend of the spring batch datasource is Oracle 11gr2.

BkiUbGE4ukPiENFaWFUO | After the failure of Google talk and Hangouts, Google has again launched a new messaging app. The company has been working on making available its "Google Allo" since the middle of this week and now the WhatsApp competitor is available to everyone.
On Wednesday, Google started releasing its new messaging app Allo. The app was not immediately available everywhere in the world but was rolled out country to country. As of now, the app is available to everyone.
Google Allo is actually a competitor for WhatsApp. Allo users can chat with each other through the app. In addition, the app has a smart assistant in it. Users can request this smart assistant to do a task via voice or via text. It works somewhat like the voice assistant Siri on an iPhone.
People who wanna try the new app can download it from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. The app is thus available for all Android devices and Apple iPhones and iPads. Using the app doesn't require a Google account. Allo is in fact associated with the mobile phone number. Anyone who optionally wants to link a Google account to Allo can benefit from additional features such as searching for information from Allo in the Gmail mailbox. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcRHxK03BfHDu3rZm | Home Hot Off The Press Uttam Singh named for Maharashtra's 'Lata Mangeshkar Award'
Uttam Singh named for Maharashtra's 'Lata Mangeshkar Award'
Mumbai: Veteran music director and violinist Uttam Singh has been named for this year's "Lata Mangeshkar Award for Lifetime Achievement" of the Maharashtra government on the eve of the legendary singer's 86th birthday on Wednesday, Education Minister Vinod Tawde announced here on Tuesday.
The award carries a citation, a trophy and Rs 500,000 in cash. It will be presented to the 68-year old music director at a function later.
Attracted to music from a tender age, when he was barely five years old, Singh acquired his basic training from his father who was a sitar player and also sang bhajans and kirtans in gurudwaras with his family.
At the age of 12, he shifted to Mumbai where he learnt to play violin and tabla and got a major break three years later to play violin for Mohammad Safi, an assistant to the legendary Bollywood music composer Naushad.
Singh did not look back since then and later played for top music directors of the era, including Naushad, Roshan, C. Ramchandra, Madan Mohan, S.D. Burman and later became the chief violinist for R.D. Burman.
Later, Singh joined hands with Jagdish Khanna and the 'Uttam-Jagdish' duo became one of the top music arrangers' team, working for over 65 Bollywood films.
Some of the top hit films included "Maine Pyar Kiya", "Hum Aapke Hain Koun", for which they arranged the music.
The Uttam-Jagdish team got a break as music directors for Manoj Kumar's film,"'Painter Babu" and later "Clerk" and "Waaris".
Jagdish Khanna died in 1992 and thereafter Singh ventured as an independent music director for several films, including the late Yash Chopra's "Dil To Paagal Hai", Anil Sharma's "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha", and "Hero – Love Story of A Spy", and Chandraprakash Dwivedi's "Pinjar", the last ranked among his best.
Other films for which he composed music include "Baghban", "Dushman", "Farz", "Hum Tumpe Marte Hain", "Pyar Diwana Hota Hai", "Rajjo", "Honour Killing", "Ho Jata Hai Pyar", "Jazbaat", and many more.
Singh also worked with Ilaiyaraja as music arranger for various Tamil films and in 1999 composed music for the Malayalam film, "Prem Poojari".
He recorded his first private music album, "Om Sai Ram" in 1996 and in 2002 composed another album "Soor" for his singer daughter, Preeti Singh in 2002.
He has bagged several awards and honours during his musical career, including the International Indian Film Academy Award, Filmfare Award and Screen Award for best music director (all for "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" in 2002), Filmfare Award ("Dil To Paagal Hai", 1997), Screen Award and Zee Cine Award (for "Pinjar").
A committee chaired by Tawde and comprising Cultural Affairs Principal Secretary Valsa Nair-Singh, Shridhar Phadke, Asha Khadilkar, Swanand Kirkire, music director duo Ajay Gogavale-Atul Gogavale and playback singer Shreya Ghoshal finalised Singh's name for the award.
The Maharashtra government instituted the coveted award in honour of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar in 1992, which is awarded to a doyen of music annually.

BkiUc5w5qWTA-GNL-Gcg | From: Plumstead (TQ448791)

Via: Thamesmead
Distance: 5.1 miles (8.2 km)
Meets: A206, A2041, A206
Bexley • Greenwich
A2016 Plumstead - Erith
The A2016 is a dual carriageway that links the communities south of the River Thames, notably the new town of Thamesmead, and was built in a piecemeal fashion as Thamesmead developed.
The first stretch between Pettman Crescent and the roundabout with Western Way, Central Way and Eastern Way was built in the early 1980s. Eastern Way from the roundabout to the grade separated junction with the A2041 was built in the early 1970s. Eastern Way between the A2041 junction and the roundabout with Picardy Manorway was completed in the mid-1980s. Bronze Age Way (known as the Thamesmead and Erith Spine Road when it was in planning) was completed in 1996. There is a 50 mph speed limit throughout and has been in place since the road was built. Originally Lower Road, New Bridge, West Street and Walnut Tree Road were part of the A2016 and there was a gap for a few years between the grade separated junction at the A2041 until Eastern Way was extended and Picardy Manorway was built.
The A2016 starts at a large roundabout at Plumstead called Pettman Crescent. Eastbound traffic on the A206 travelling from Woolwich to Plumstead must go round Pettman Crescent instead of using Plumstead Road which is now for buses and taxis. The London Borough of Greenwich / Transport for London implemented this scheme in the mid-1990s to encourage traffic to use the A2016 to Erith rather than the A206. We leave Pettman Crescent and head north along Western Way, passing the Thamesmead West housing development on the left and a cycle track and footpath on our right with the West Thamesmead Business Park beyond. Originally the A2016 went along Nathan Way to the east until Western Way was built in c. 1986. We soon arrive at fairly complicated junction with access to Thamesmead West on the left and Belmarsh Prison and Woolwich Crown & Magistrates Courts on our right. To turn right at the junction you need to turn left and bear round crossing the carriageway at grade. At the next roundabout we carry straight on.
Thamesmead - A2016 Eastern Way
The defunct East London River Crossing and the proposed Thames Gateway Crossing routes would leave this roundabout on our left and the A2041 Central Way, which leads to the main Thamesmead shopping centre, actually does. The next section of dual carriageway is the start of Eastern Way and was built during the early 1970s up to the only grade-separated junction with the A2041 Harrow Manor Way to Abbey Wood and Carlyle Road back up to Thamesmead North. This is the junction to turn off for the Crossness Beam Engines, which are located at Crossness Sewage Works and are the largest rotative beam engines in the world. The Southern Outfall Sewer embankment which starts by Pettman Crescent appears on our right and there is a path along the top appropriately called The Ridgeway. After the grade-separated junction Eastern Way rises on to a flyover over the sewer bank and Belvedere Road which leads to the Crossness works. The large wave-shaped building on our left is the Crossness Sludge Powered Generator, which burns all the sludge from the sewage works after it has been treated. On our right is Southmere, the largest lake at Thamesmead and used for various water sports.
We pass the few remaining fields of Erith Marshes on our right, which are used for rough grazing. At the next roundabout we need to turn left as the turning on the right, Yarnton Way, leads to Thamesmead East and back towards the A2041. At the next roundabout we go straight on to Bronze Age Way, which is named as several Bronze Age finds were discovered during the road construction. The B253 Picardy Manorway was built in the late 1980s and replaced a nearby level crossing. At one time the A2016 took this route and turned left along Lower Road and West Street until Bronze Age Way was built.
Continuing along Bronze Age Way we meet the B213 at an elongated GSJ before running alongside a railway line into Erith; the road here seems to have ploughed through a housing estate which is not accessible from the A2016. After running through the forecourt of Erith station (also not accessible from the A2016) the road climbs up to a roundabout where it ends back on the A206.

Grassroots movements are rightful partners in finding solutions to climate change
In early May 2017, the Global Alliance for the Future of Food hosted its 2nd International Dialogue with over 250 food systems leaders from the local to the global, to gain deeper insights into the connections between climate change and food systems.
In early May 2017, the Global Alliance for the Future of Food hosted its 2nd International Dialogue with over 250 food systems leaders from the local to the global, to gain deeper insights into the connections between climate change and food systems, to craft visions of the food systems we need today and tomorrow, and to chart potential pathways to get there.
Global Alliance member Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition (BCFN) sponsored six of their youth alumni to attend the gathering. Alumnus Benedetta Raspini sat down with Rajasvini Bhansali, Executive Director of Thousand Currents (formerly IDEX), to ask pressing questions about where food and agriculture systems can point to positive solutions to climate change.
Through the International Dialogue and all of its work, the Global Alliance aims to bring together diverse stakeholders from different sectors, geographies, and ideologies to facilitate genuine global dialogue on critical issues related to transitions to sustainable food systems. To that end, we are pleased to make these interviews available to contribute to thinking, discussion, and debate about food systems reform.
We need to support scientific evidence from the ground, from where the real practice of agriculture and preserving the diversity of cultures sits, so that we can interconnect scientific knowledge with traditional knowledge and increase collaboration between the two.
Q: Where does your work intersect with sustainable food systems and climate change? Why is it important to get food systems on the climate change agenda?
Rajasvini Bhansali (RB): Thousand Currents began 32 years ago and since then has funded many grassroots groups, many of which were led by women, youth, and indigenous peoples in the Global South, who work in the areas of food sovereignty, climate justice, and alternative economies.
We know their lives and livelihoods at this moment are threatened by the industrial global food system. This system is pushing out small-scale farmers and has dire economic and environmental consequences, creating massive inequality and leading to an environmental and climate crisis that threatens our planet, our collective futures, land, territories, culture, life, and human rights.
Our mission is to fund and support innovative initiatives at the community level that are transforming our food systems for the better, strengthening sustainable agriculture and locally generated economic growth, building wealth in local communities and fighting for right climate action.
Q: Where do you think the greatest opportunities are for transitioning to more sustainable food systems in a climate changing world?
RB: We need to support scientific evidence from the ground, from where the real practice of agriculture and preserving the diversity of cultures sits, so that we can interconnect scientific knowledge with traditional knowledge and increase collaboration between the two. We know this, but a lot of work has to be done to educate the scientific world and funders so they recognize that grassroots knowledge is necessary, even invaluable, knowledge.
Q: What is the most important thing younger generations need to understand about how food systems and climate change are interconnected, and what can they do as individuals to support a shift in how we think about food systems?
RB: I found that in many of the communities where we work, the younger generation is very involved in addressing this alarming reality. They already understand the impact of climate change, and are trying to do something about it and trying to learn from the generation before. I think it is critical to increase the exchange of ideas among youth between various regions. New forms of agriculture-based enterprise coming from those young people is a vital force for innovation in local communities that puts land, soil and human well-being at the centre. Young people are transforming the agricultural sector by applying new technologies and new thinking, and they need to be connected.
All levels are involved in this change. Therefore, it would be great to involve more youth in both the science and politics of climate change. I hope that we will have a new generation able to recognize and honour indigenous science knowledge, to reject top-down imperialistic thinking, and to look at this world with new eyes and treat it better than our generation is doing.
Q: What are good practice examples, where you or others are involved in leveraging or transitioning to more sustainable, secure and equitable food systems?
RB: I have so many examples from the countries where we work in Africa, Asia and Latin America, but one, in particular from South Africa sticks in my mind. Last year I visited an organization named Surplus People Project (SPP) that has been involved in the landless people's movement for a long time. Here I met one incredible group of young people, Tyisa Nabanye, who are occupying land forcibly removed from urban dwellers by the South African state in the past. In these completely abandoned and borrowed lands, they have grown biodiverse, beautiful, amazing spaces of agrarian transformation. Because the land is public, they are under constant threat of their work being levelled. The amazing thing is that every time, they grow it again, and again.
They have grown a popular movement with an entire community that is following and supporting this continuous regeneration.
It's an example of an inspired group of young people. When I said to them, "It must be devastating for you seeing your work destroyed every time." They answer: "Absolutely not! We are growing a paradise here and at the same time we are feeding the people. That is itself beautiful, so we are not afraid. We are going to keep on growing paradise."
Rajasvini Bhansali is the Executive Director of Thousand Currents, and a passionate advocate for participatory grassroots-led social change and movement building. In a wide-ranging career devoted to social, ecological, and economic justice, she has led a national social enterprise, managed a public telecommunications infrastructure fund addressing digital divide issues, and worked as a researcher, planner, policy analyst and strategy consultant. Rajasvini also worked alongside six community leaders as a capacity builder for youth polytechnics in rural Kenya for over two years, an experience she credits as motivating her to work to transform international development and philanthropy towards more people-centered practices.
The vision of the BCFN Alumni group is to make the best use of the potential of young people involved with the issues of agri-food sustainability around the world. The aim is to create a community of active and committed alumni that contribute to the development of a more sustainable food system, through projects and other activities.
More interviews with experts from the Global Alliance's 2nd International Dialogue are available here.

BkiUfE85qg5DOdqYBOM_ | Ah, to Be 10 Again: A Mom's Wishes for a Kids' Play
By Jen Singer
By the time the whole cast was giggling through their lines, I felt like I'd been invited into a secret society of children, like The Lost Boys, only with girls, too, and adult supervision. My sons were appearing in a church production of "Malice in the Palace: The Story of Esther." And Esther, played by a local eighth grader, had started the giggling. The audience, filled with parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, also began giggling, as though we'd been let in on a joke that until then, only the kids on stage had known. And it made me wish I, too, was a kid.
This was my sons' second year at drama camp, which involved a week of learning lines, singing songs and painting sets, culminating in a Saturday night production of a play based on a story from the Bible. Run by the children's youth minister at a local church, this year's show had more kids in it than last summer, as word had gotten around during the school year that drama camp was a whole lotta fun. Also, it's one of the few places where you can keep your kids busy in August for not much money.
My kids had several parts each: Captain of the Guard, King's Advisor, Haman's Friends and People of Israel. All week long, they memorized lines and sang songs around the house and in my car, where they practiced with their buddies, Drew and Mike, who had been cast in similar parts. As I listened to them work on their lines, brown bag lunches in their laps and flip flops dangling from their feet, I wished I could be 10 again, if only for that week.
I listened in as they talked about who couldn't remember their lines and who had a crush on whom. They compared notes on their costumes, deciding that they weren't wearing dresses, but "tough guy skirts." You know, because of the spears they got to carry.
When I showed up two hours early one afternoon, having misread the information about the dress rehearsal, I got a sneak peek of one of the musical numbers and the set production before the youth minister shooed me away. For a moment, I longed to be covered in paint, scarf pinned around my head, learning the words to "It Would Take a Miracle." But it wasn't for me. It was for my kids, as it should be.
The night of the production, my family and I read the cast notes and dedications tacked to the wall near our seats. While most of the kids thanked their parents, my 11-year-old thanked no one, mentioning he starred in last year's show and that he likes to play the piano. On my nine-year-old's notes, it read: "He would like to thank Mike."
So, thank you Mike, and all the kids from "Malice in the Palace." You gave me hope that there are still places where kids can simply be kids and adults aren't allowed. And that's something to giggle about

Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe?This hotel has put a ton of thought into the first impression, and it shows. The facade is a restored Qing Dynasty building, with a wide, gray-bricked entrance. And when you walk in, the space opens up into a space that's designed to look like a historic courtyard, with gardens and spaces to pop into. There are almost always greeters at the door to help with any immediate request, and you get a fantastic sense of the Temple House hospitality right away.
What's the backstory?The Temple House is part of Swire's House Collective, which includes extraordinary properties in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Each property has its own personality, and the Temple House is where old-meets-new, with a historic facade and sleek buildings that house the guest rooms. This property in particular was designed by Make Architects.
Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?The rooms here are massive, but feel peaceful and welcoming. Many have their own living room area, with couches and a dining room table to spread out on. The beds are comfortable, and bathrooms have both a shower and a tub. Try and get a room that overlooks the courtyard and the Taikoo Li shopping district next door. Outlets were plentiful, and the tech was fantastic.
Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Free and fast. Just remember that since you're in China, you will need a VPN to access many of your typically trafficked websites, from Google to Instagram.
Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?The Temple House goes above and beyond when it comes to food. The breakfast buffet is incredible, with pastries that wouldn't be out of place in France, and Chinese options include congee and noodles. At Mi Xun Teahouse, there are vegetarian versions of famous Sichuan dishes, like ma po tofu and hotpot. There's a Italian restaurant called Tivano, plus a beautifully designed Jing Bar that is a hot spot for locals just about every night. In early 2020, the all-day Temple Cafe will turn into a French-Vietnamese concept.
And the service?The service was absolutely spot-on. There are always a few extra attendants on hand in the lobby area for any guest needs. Every staffer that a typical guest might encounter, from waiter to spa specialist, can communicate comfortably in English.
What type of travelers will you find here?Super-stylish visitors, mostly from China and other Asian countries.
What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene?The hotel is located next to the Taikoo Li shopping district, which Swire has also invested heavily in. Among shops like one of the world's biggest Louis Vuittons, you'll find Asian brands like Korean sunglasses chain Gentle Monster, as well as coffee shops and art installations. This is the epicenter of shopping in Chengdu.
Is there anything you'd change?Smoking is still plentiful in China—if you'd like to avoid breathing in cigarette air, you'll have to choose your spot at the bar carefully.
Any other hotel features worth noting?The hotel has an incredible pool that's located underground but has a skylight, which adds to the calming feels. The gym and spa are both top-of-the-line. The activities are fun, too, from yoga on a pavilion to a salt-scrub-making session.
Bottom line: Worth it? Why?There's no better place to stay in the city. Even four years after opening, it's still the top spot in Chengdu, and the place to be seen.

BkiUe0zxK19JmhArE_4d | Hebron Shooting Demands IDF Investigation
April 12, 2016 | Written By: Prof. Amichai Cohen
IDI's Prof. Amichai Cohen explains why Israel had to launch a swift and effective investigation into the actions of the solider that shot a neutralized terrorist in Hebron. This article originally appeared on the Times of Israel.
The investigation of the soldier suspected in shooting the terrorist in Hebron is still ongoing. Initial video footage and responses by the Minister of Defense and the IDF Chief of Staff raise serious suspicions about this soldier's actions. Nonetheless, until a final verdict is handed down by a competent court, the soldier should be granted the benefit of the doubt. Having said that, it seems this case requires a swift and effective investigation. Why? First of all, such an investigation is required for Israel's own sake. The Chief of Staff summarized it well in his letter to all IDF soldiers publicized last week: "It is a duty of the IDF to preserve the IDF's morals and values, so that the IDF will remain the people's army in a Jewish and democratic state." There are those who claim that there is no place to investigate, and certainly not to convict, a soldier who was in combat action. Further, there is concern that such an investigation would cause IDF soldiers to be hesitant to use force when it is needed, and that the investigation would damage the morale of the IDF. I disagree. Adopting such a position would not protect IDF soldiers. If anything, it would endanger them, and hinder Israel's war on terrorism. Shooting a person who does not pose any danger (which may have been the case in this instance) is considered a violation of international law. Whether we like it or not, in pursuing Israel's war on terrorism, Israel must take into account law, and specifically international law. This is because the international community created judicial mechanisms in recent decades, intended to enforce these laws. In the past two decades, an international criminal tribunal operated in former Yugoslavia. More than 160 persons were indicted for war crimes that happened in various armed conflicts in that area in the 1990s. The International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague has been operating since 2003. Various countries apply the concept of "universal jurisdiction," allowing these countries to adjudicate cases of alleged serious violations of international law that have happened anywhere in the world. In the past, several attempts were made to apply these international mechanisms toward IDF soldiers. Universal jurisdiction proceedings were also initiated in several countries. There is a Palestinian request before the ICC, asking it to investigate and prosecute alleged violations of international law by Israeli soldiers. The infamous Goldstone report suggested that measures should be taken against Israelis. To all these claims, the Israeli response was clear: there is no need or justification for any international intervention or proceeding. Israel has an independent mechanism for investigating alleged violations. If there is any wrongdoing by Israeli soldiers, Israel deals with it. Israel's independent Military Advocate General's unit is perfectly capable of investigating any suspicion without international involvement. The validity of this claim hinges on one fact: when a serious suspicion of wrongdoing arises, Israel does its best to investigate it. Hence, accepting any suggestion of quashing the investigation of the Hebron soldier altogether, of pardoning the soldier, or even of leniency, would have far reaching implications. Any such move would bring into question the Israeli position of rejecting international involvement in the conflict and the integrity of its internal investigative mechanisms. An international investigation would have far more negative implications on the morale of soldiers and their ability to fight than an Israeli investigation. However, the approach that rejects a full independent Israeli investigation might lead exactly to that result. If Israel chooses not to investigate allegations against IDF soldiers fully, the chances of an international investigation grow significantly — perhaps not against this specific soldier, but surely against many other soldiers in future IDF operations. This op-ed originally appeared in the Times of Israel. Prof. Amichai Cohen is a Research Fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute, where he works on the National Security and Democracy project.

Dinosaur Egg Thief Suspect Arrested in China
Chinese Authorities Make Arrests in "Crack Down" on Dinosaur Egg Thieves
Official Chinese State media has reported the arrest of a man accused of stealing dozens of fossilised dinosaur eggs. A number of specimens have been recovered but many more are, as yet, unaccounted for. China has some of the strictest regulations and laws in the world, when it comes to protecting rare artefacts including fossil remains. Sadly, despite the very best efforts of the authorities there is a thriving black market in illegally acquired fossils, with huge sums of money being exchanged for dinosaur fossils including teeth, bones and fossilised eggs.

The media report states that a Chinese citizen with the surname Wang has been accused of stealing eighty dinosaur eggs from a collector in Zhejiang Province on the night of January 9th 2017. Three other accomplices are believed to have been involved according to the report from the Xinhua News Agency. Mr Wang had previously visited the collector twice under the pretext of making a prospective purchase, agency sources have stated.
The four suspects are believed to have divided up the stolen property and Mr Wang took home a total of twenty-seven eggs. Police raided Mr Wang's home earlier this month after arresting him, during the search of the property in Huanan County (Heilongjiang Province), the authorities were able to recover the stolen eggs, the remaining fossils, an estimated fifty or so specimens, have yet to be recovered.

The three accomplices have also been apprehended, Heilongjiang police have confirmed that Mr Wang was in police custody but no further information about the other parties involved was provided.
Over the last five decades or so, as China's geology has been explored in more detail, a treasure trove of fossil material has been discovered, including numerous dinosaur fossils. The Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology (IVPP) in Beijing is believed to hold the world's largest collection of vertebrate fossils. Sadly, despite it being illegal to export fossils and other material out of China, thefts still occur and many important fossils have been sent overseas to end up in the hands of private collectors. Fossil protection legislation in the People's Republic of China is comprehensive, the illegal excavation and export of vertebrate fossils including eggs was covered in the 1982 Cultural Relics Protection Law. This law was developed from existing rules and regulations that had been in place prior to the Cultural Revolution. More recently, legislation in this area was reviewed (2010-2013) and a number of Chinese scientific institutions have published guidelines and procedures to help organisations that are based outside China to stay on the right side of the law.
Dinosaur Eggs and Nests are Highly Sought After by Collectors

All too often Everything Dinosaur has had to report on this blog incidences of fossil theft, illegal excavations or deliberate vandalism to an important fossil site.

BkiUfS_xK4tBVicoEybh | Gomez given chance to shine
Joe Gomez given chance to impress by new Charlton boss
Joe Gomez is enjoying pre-season with the Charlton first-team
Joe Gomez's hopes of securing a spot in the Charlton Athletic first-team were boosted as he impressed on his first senior outing for the club on Sunday.
The England U17s defender played a huge role as John Peacock's Young Lions won the European Championship in Malta in May – and his potential will be given every chance to flourish according to new Addicks boss Bob Peeters.
Peeters named the youngster in his starting line-up as his side fought out a 0-0 draw with Sint-Truiden on Sunday evening, and Gomez gave an assured display which included a last-ditch headed goal-line clearance to secure a clean sheet.
"I really enjoyed the game and thought I did well - it's always good to keep a clean sheet too," Gomez said afterwards.
"I've been with the seniors since the start of pre-season and it has been good. I'm just going to keep doing my best, learn as much as I can, and see where it takes me."
Gomez played a key role as England U17s won the European Championship
The 17-year-old is one of a number of academy products being given an opportunity by Peeters in the Philips Stayen Cup this summer as the manager looks to promote from within before making any move in the transfer market.
"I like to work with people who were born locally and played in the academy," the new gaffer told the South London Press.
"I will always search in my academy first and if I can play a local boy, then I don't need to look to buy another player. That is one of my philosophies as a manager."
And following success with a number of his former proteges back in his native Belgium, he has high hopes for the youngsters at The Valley – especially Gomez.
"One of the main reasons I signed here was because in Belgium I was giving a lot of young players a chance; they are all now regulars in Belgium's first division," Peeters explained.
"The academy of Charlton is of a high standard and I have already said to Joe Gomez, who is only 17, that he will do pre-season with the first team. I want to see if young players can do the job.
"It is important if you have a talented young defender to give him a chance.
"You need two or three of those so that the other young players can see that they will get the opportunity to play in the first team at Charlton."
Gomez will be hoping to do enough to earn a place in the squad for Charlton's opening Championship game of the season at Brentford on Saturday 9 August.

Run the Jewels Unearth Every Cat Meme on the Internet for 'All Meow Life' Video
Beth Kellmurray
The search is over. After all those countless hours spent wasting away, scouring all corners of the internet for the funniest cat videos, memes and GIFs, Run the Jewels have stepped in and taken care of the heavy lifting.
After dropping Meow the Jewels, the cat-remixed version of their sophomore album, Run the Jewels 2, Killer Mike and El-P have returned with a new video for "All Meow Life." The song is Nick Hook's rework of RTJ2's "All My Life." Director Jason Goldwatch apparently had the intensive task of sorting through the internet's cat archives and creating a feline collage perfectly in pace with the updated track. Check it out above (via Mass Appeal); even Run the Jewels' dark, menacing cut can make a cat with its head caught in a piece of bread somehow seem foreboding.
Meow the Jewels landed in all of its glory last month. Run the Jewels 2 arrived last year, a follow-up to the duo's 2013 self-titled debut. In addition to the Meow the Jewels remixes, RtJ recently unveiled "Rubble Kings Theme (Dynamite)," a new song that appears on the soundtrack for Shan Nicholson's Rubble Kings documentary.
Killer Mike and El-P are due for a break following extensive touring behind their sophomore disc. They have one final date on the books, and that's an appearance at the Corona Capital Music Festival in Mexico City on Nov. 21. Get ticket information right here.

Phosphorus Release from Sewage Sludge Incinerator Ash in a Corn and Soybean Field Study
In the Twin Cities, sewage sludge is incinerated and in the process 5 MW of power is generated per day. Incineration produces significant amounts of ash (38 tons/day) which contains nearly 30% total phosphate (P2O5). Currently, sewage sludge incinerator ash (SSA) is landfilled at a cost to taxpayers, but previous studies have shown that the ash has the potential to be a source of phosphorus (P) for crop production. Additionally, P is a limited and difficult-to-renew resource.
To determine the viability of SSA as a P fertilizer, we are in the middle of conducting a 3-year corn and soybean field study comparing this ash to other P sources including conventional P fertilizer (triple super phosphate), dried pelletized biosolids, and struvite. Each P source was applied in the spring at 40, 80, 120, and 160 lb P2O5/ha, with a zero-P control included. Soil and plant samples were taken throughout the season and after harvest and then were analyzed for available P and EPA 503 metals (elements monitored by the EPA in biosolids land application). In-situ probes that act as a proxy for ions in soil solution were also analyzed.
What we have learned?
After two years of field studies, there is evidence to show that SSA can be a viable phosphorus fertilizer as well as a source of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), although additional years of study on a more P-responsive soil are required to draw definitive conclusions. While soils amended with biosolids or SSA have higher levels of DTPA-Cu and DTPA-Zn compared with TSP- or struvite-amended soils, only grain concentrations of zinc reflected this difference in source.
While Cu and Zn are both elevated in biosolids and SSA soils, in-situ probes show that these elements are significantly more available in the biosolids-amended soils. This may be due to the difference in matrices and requires more study. However, our results demonstrate that land-application of ash and biosolids for crop production are two potential options for resolving sewage solids disposal and beneficial reuse of nutrients that go through our food systems. While land-applying biosolids is a good source of carbon and nitrogen where SSA is not, SSA has the benefit of having minimal organic contaminants (pathogens, pharmaceuticals) due to the incineration process. Additionally, biosolids are applied to meet a crop's nitrogen requirements whereas SSA is applied to meet a crop's phosphorus requirements. Because of this, the total amount of SSA-amendment added is significantly less than biosolids and thus results in lower or equal amounts of EPA 503 metals.
We will continue our study through a third field season (2019) and will continue to monitor P and 503 metals concentrations in soils and uptake by plants. We are also analyzing soil samples for changes in microbial populations due to SSA application. However, an early proof-of-concept incubation showed no significant effects of SSA when applied at agronomic P-rates.

In what can only be referred to as the marathon of the debating world, after 5 days and 9 in rounds the Otago squad has made it back from The 2016/2017 World University Debating Championships in The Hague. A huge congratulations must go to Otago A (Alice Sowry and Emily Williams), Otago B (Connor Seddon and Keegan Burrow), and Kerrin R-s (Adjudicator) for braving the brisk winters of the Netherlands.

BkiUfr3xK6EuNCver_UO | New Brunswick's Beverage Containers Program was put in place to reduce the amount of waste which goes to our landfills, or ends up being littered along our roadsides and waterways. Several other provinces and American states also operate beverage container programs.
There are currently 78 beverage container redemption centres processing approximately 300 million empty beverage containers annually.
Anyone who purchases a beverage in New Brunswick that is distributed in a container that is subject to the Act.
The unrefunded portion of each deposit is used to recover the costs of administering the program for the recycling of containers. A portion is also deposited into New Brunswick's Environmental Trust Fund, which is used to promote recycling activities and otherwise improve the state of the environment in New Brunswick.
Beverage container handling fees are paid by beverage distributors to New Brunswick's privately-run beverage container redemption centres as compensation for receiving, paying out refunds for, sorting, and storing returned beverage containers. These handling fees are paid directly to the redemption centres without government involvement. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdFk5qoYAtIo5IExN | excerpts from gertrude stein's poem patriarchal poetry from 1927 form the piece's time structures, which, from the overall proportions down to the very basic rhythm patterns, are modelled after the continuously shifting and permutating linguistic repetitions [endlessly same and endlessly different] of stein's unique diction.
a software-synthesizer was driven by data gained through frequency- and amplitude-analysis of these passages read aloud, only small portions of which are audible in the final mix, thus forming what could be perceived of as the revue's formal backdrop, it's imaginary rhythm track.
And from time to time patriarchal poetry becomes audible.
here are the pd patches that were used to generate the basic tracks of the piece. they are sort of a voice to rhythm converter and make extensive use of miller puckette's bonk~ object ["percussion detector"] for attack detection in the voice tracks. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 2 |

Groundbreaking for New Hospital in Carbon County
Posted 4:47 pm, October 3, 2019, by Courtney Harrison
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- It was a packed house in a tent off Fairyland Road. Not far from the Pennsylvania turnpike near Lehighton, people were excited for St. Luke's to start construction on a new hospital.
"They've all just been, when is it coming? When is it coming? We've been showing pictures and renderings and there's only so much you can do there. This makes it tangible. It's happening. We're putting literally shovels in the ground today to break dirt and to make this happen. Make it a reality," St. Luke's chief operating officer Joe Pinto said.
The 80-bed building will host many services including behavioral health, rehab, and outpatient care.
"St. Luke's has over two dozen care sites throughout the county. Virtually every town in this county has a St. Luke's presence. While this is the hub, there's just a full network of services throughout the county to provide world-class healthcare to the people in the county," St. Luke's carbon campus president John Nespoli said.
St. Luke's plans to use American made steel to build the hospital that's expected to create about 200 jobs.
"The amount of resources that St. Luke's puts into planning and thinking about the details of the rooms and physicians that are needed and the type of machinery that's needed for testing. It's a piece of cake for them. I would have no idea how to do it myself, but they really know how to do it," St. Luke's vice president of medical affairs Bill Markson said.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkey's president said Saturday the country will freeze the assets of two United States officials in retaliation for sanctions against Turkey's justice and interior ministers over the detention of an American pastor.
Speaking in Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey had been "patient" since the U.S. Treasury sanctions imposed Wednesday, but ordered authorities to "freeze the assets of America's justice and interior ministers in Turkey if there are any." It is unclear who that would affect, due to differing Cabinet roles in the United States than in Turkey, or if they have any holdings in Turkey.
Turkey's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu and Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul mocked the sanctions last week, saying they have no assets in the U.S, but the sign of deteriorating Turkish-American relations sent Turkey's national currency —the lira— tumbling.
Erdogan called the sanctions a "serious disrespect towards Turkey" and accused the U.S. of hypocrisy for demanding the release of evangelical pastor Andrew Craig Brunson while ally Turkey tries him over alleged links to terror groups.
Brunson, jailed in December 2016, is now under home detention. He is facing a 35-year sentence if convicted of the charges of "committing crimes on behalf of terror groups without being a member" and espionage. Top U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, have said there is no evidence against Brunson and demanded his release.

#80: I Don't Want to Spoil the Party
April 26, 2020 Anthony Cusumano1964, beatles, beatles for sale
Is this the world's first emo song? Add in some Cookie Monster screams and apply a bit of black eyeliner to John Lennon and "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" becomes the greatest prom anthem of the early 2010s. Well, I guess you may need to de-twang it about 75% first, but the point stands.
Recently, I sang the praises of the unheralded Beatles for Sale album, and a large part of why I love it so much is Continue reading "#80: I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" →
#85: I'm a Loser
March 19, 2020 Anthony Cusumano1964, beatles, beatles for sale
It's funny; for an album as historically dismissed as Beatles for Sale, I haven't written about any of its tracks in quite some time. It's been over two years and 89 songs in fact, when "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey!" popped up at #174. Only four of the album's 14 songs ranked lower, all of them covers, incidentally enough. That means that Beatles for Sale makes up an impressive 10% of the top 90 songs, a feat topped only by The White Album (which contains more than twice as many songs).
That "I'm a Loser" is the album's lowest-ranking original is actually a testament to how Continue reading "#85: I'm a Loser" →
#174: Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey!
October 7, 2017 Anthony Cusumano1964, beatles, beatles for sale
After the all-original A Hard Day's Night, the Beatles had to resort to filling their follow-up LP with old-school covers, and frankly, they did a crappy job selecting them for the most part. This is the fifth of six of them to show up on the countdown, and we're still in the bottom 50. (In fairness to Beatles for Sale, Continue reading "#174: Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey!" →

On paper, this Chuck Berry cover should be a slam dunk.
Congratulations, Anthony. You used a sports metaphor correctly.
The arrangement is relatively faithful to Berry's original, just way amped up. That's kind of the problem though. Continue reading "#184: Rock and Roll Music" →
#199: Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby
December 29, 2016 December 29, 2016 Anthony Cusumano1964, beatles, beatles for sale
Just like Ringo's, George Harrison's vocal spotlight on the Beatles for Sale album was an underwhelming Carl Perkins cover. This one at least feels slightly less lazy, and needless to say, the vocal is a lot stronger (sorry Ringo), but there's still a sense of going through the motions. My favorite part of it is the fake-out ending, a technique I always love in songs.
The only thing I like more than fake endings? Happy Endings. Bring it back, Netflix!
And of course, this brings to a close the great Carl Perkins vs. Larry Williams war of 2016, with Larry Williams coming out on top as his "Bad Boy" is still in the running. It's been real, Carl.
#200: Mr. Moonlight
When you start playing "Mr. Moonlight" and hear John Lennon sing the title with such gusto, it's hard not to get excited about what's to come. Indeed, if the entire song were as exciting as the first four seconds, this would be one of their finest covers. But man, does it go downhill fast. You can point to so many elements–the uninspired backing vocals, the inane lyrics–pretty much anything but John's lead vocal, which gives the track some redeeming value, but it's clear what the nadir of this recording is. Paul McCartney's organ solo is so un-Beatle-y that if the queen heard it she would revoke his knighthood.
Actually, it's surprising he didn't somehow lose it in his divorce with Heather Mills.
The worst part? There was no reason whatsoever for "Mr. Moonlight" to take up space on Beatles for Sale. Ringo and George both had their vocal spotlights, weak as they were. And on the very same day the band first tackled "Mr. Moonlight," they also recorded the fiery "Leave My Kitten Alone," which inexplicably languished in the vaults for more than 30 years despite being superior to not only "Mr. Moonlight," but probably a good half of the rest of Beatles for Sale too.
#213: Honey Don't
December 2, 2016 December 7, 2016 Anthony Cusumano1964, beatles, beatles for sale, carl perkins, ringo starr
The Beatles almost always felt obligated to give Ringo one lead vocal per album, and since he only wrote two songs for himself during the band's tenure, he was basically stuck with the leftovers–Lennon/McCartney dregs or mediocre country/western covers like this one. Nothing against the Carl Perkins composition itself, although there's nothing exciting about the music or lyrics, but the entire band Continue reading "#213: Honey Don't" → | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdvA5qYVBc0cis6bD | John Ford (1586 - 1639) - Author Collection
John Ford (1586 – ca. 1639) was an English playwright and poet of the Jacobean and Caroline eras born in Ilsington in Devon. He was a major playwright during the reign of Charles I. His plays deal with conflicts between individual passion and conscience and the laws and morals of society at large; Ford had a strong interest in abnormal psychology that is expressed through his dramas. His plays often show the influence of Robert Burton's "The Anatomy of Melancholy." While virtually nothing is known of Ford's personal life, one reference suggests that Ford's interest in melancholia may have been more than merely intellectual. The volume Choice Drollery (1656) asserts that
Deep in a dump alone John Ford was gat,
With folded arms and melancholy hat.

BkiUdw05qsFAfoQ6RuIJ | Indian River Drive Jensen Beach Map Of in Jensen Beach is really a wonderful location. The Jensen Beach location is amazing. But, if this isn't the community for you, you might like one of the other local communities like Newport Jensen or Pineapple Plantation or Sewalls Landing that are located here as well. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdaE5qWTA_7kew-bp | Das Team der Musical Story wünscht allen ein frohes Fest und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2014.
Mit größtem Bedauern muss ich den Ausfall unserer Shows in Köln, Leipzig und Hamburg bekannt geben.
Wir alle hoffen, dieses Projekt in der Zukunft wieder auf die Bühne bringen zu können.
Ein großer Dank an das Musical Team und alle, die uns die Treue halten!!!
It is with extreme regret and no little reluctance that I must announce the cancellation of our shows in Cologne, Leipzig and Hamburg. We worked hard and planned carefully to make this tour a memorable musical event. We assembled a brilliant creative unit of talented musicians and performers/actors.
We are grateful to those of you who rushed out early and bought tickets. We do appreciate that there may be people who have incurred travel and hotel expenses in connection with our tour.
We hope to install this project in the future as a well-accepted part of the musical world as we were very excited about the show we had been planning and rehearsing for.
A heartly 'Thank You' to the musical team and the one's who remain true to the whole endeavour!!! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUeuTxK6-gD5Tle6Ta | My current pieces are based on scientific experiments or observations, conceptual and aesthetic pocket researches, where they are often a result of multiple natural processes, that will shape, finish or refine the object over a short or long period of time. I aspire to give my creations an authenticity and a psychedelic simplicity.
During the past few years I have worked with ritual and primitive artefacts, aberrations in symmetry, permanent gesticulations and traces after processes. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
