BkiUdtc5qYVBbRfeu_o2 | Florida Police Officer Rescues And Adopts Puppy Abandoned In Flooded Car During Hurricane Dorian
By Andrea Powell
Hurricane Dorian was headed for Florida and residents were preparing for the devastating Category 5 storm. However, the hurricane changed its path and did not make a direct hit on the state. The state still experienced high winds and flooding, as residents were cautioned to stay indoors and not to drive on flooded roads.
The life-threatening storm surge and dangerous hurricane-force winds flooded many streets and cars left abandoned on the road. Orange County Sheriff's Office was contacted about a suspicious abandoned car and sent deputies to investigate.
The car was partially flooded and appeared to be empty, but then deputies spotted a tiny puppy. "While working the #Hurricane, deputies responded to a suspicious vehicle, which was unoccupied and partially flooded. Deputy Josh Tolliver checked it out and found this puppy. Deputies named her Dorian. She was wet and scared but otherwise fine," posted the sheriff's office.

The tricolored puppy was taken to Orange County Animal Services. People commended the department on saving the puppy and urged Deputy Tolliver to adopt her. Deputy Josh Tolliver went back the following day and adopted Dorian. It may be a foster to adopt, since technically a stray dog has to be held for a few days to see if the original owners come forward- which is unlikely since they left her in a flooded car.
Just a day after posting about the rescue of Dorian, the sheriff's office wrote, "Here she is, living her best life with Deputy Tolliver!"

Who could resist those floppy ears?!
Thank you for rescuing and adopting the sweet puppy. We need more people like Deputy Tolliver in the world.
Hurricane Dorian is still moving up the east coast and just strengthened to a Category 3 storm with 115 MPH winds. Over a million people have evacuated the Carolinas as the governor urges people to leave as time is running out. Hurricane Dorian has claimed the lives of at least 20 people in the Bahamas and countless animals. People and animals are in desperate need of help.
Hurricane Dorian: Help People and Pets Now
Hurricane Dorian slammed into the Bahamas as a catastrophic Category 5 Hurricane, leaving destruction in its wake, and an estimated 13,000 homes destroyed. In the United States, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas are preparing for what could be the strongest hurricane in years.
Together, we can be There When It Matters, and help those affected by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas and along the Atlantic coast.

Paraleptophlebia
Paraleptophlebia adoptiva
Teloganopsis deficiens
Like most common names, "Dark Blue Quill" can refer to more than one taxon. They're previewed below, along with 6 specimens. For more detail click through to the scientific names.
Mayfly Genus Paraleptophlebia
These are very rarely called Dark Blue Quills.
There are many species in this genus of mayflies, and some of them produce excellent hatches. Commonly known as Blue Quills or Mahogany Duns, they include some of the first mayflies to hatch in the Spring and some of the last to finish in the Fall.
In the East and Midwest, their small size (16 to 20, but mostly 18's) makes them difficult to match with old techniques. In the 1950s Ernest Schwiebert wrote in Matching the Hatch:
"The Paraleptophlebia hatches are the seasonal Waterloo of most anglers, for without fine tippets and tiny flies an empty basket is assured."
Fortunately, modern anglers with experience fishing hatches of tiny Baetis and Tricorythodes mayflies are better prepared for eastern Paraleptophlebia. It's hard to make sense of so many species, but only one is very important and others can be considered in groups because they often hatch together:
Paraleptophlebia adoptiva is by far the most important species of this genus in the two regions and is an early Spring emerger.
Paraleptophlebia mollis, Paraleptophlebia guttata, and Paraleptophlebia strigula complement each other in late spring and early summer.
Paraleptophlebia debilis and Paraleptophlebia praepedita occur together in the fall.
In the West, it is a different story. For starters the species run much larger and can be imitated with flies as large as size 12, often size 14, and rarely smaller than 16. Another difference is the West has species with tusks! Many anglers upon first seeing them think they are immature burrowing nymphs of the species Ephemera simulans aka Brown Drake. With their large tusks, feathery gills, and slender uniform build, it's an easy mistake to make. Using groups again:
The most important species is Paraleptophlebia debilis. This large (for the genus) Fall emerger can be found throughout the region. It is often accompanied by one of the slightly larger tusked species. Depending on locale, this can be Paraleptophlebia bicornuta (the most common), Paraleptophlebia packii or Paraleptophlebia helena. Check out their hatch pages for distribution information.
Spring is the season for the smaller Paraleptophlebia heteronea throughout most of the region with Paraleptophlebia gregalis filling this niche in California and parts of Oregon.

Mayfly Species Paraleptophlebia adoptiva
This is the best Spring hatch after the Quill Gordons (Epeorus pleuralis) but before the Hendricksons (Ephemerella subvaria) in most parts of the East, although it can overlap with both. The Blue Quills are small mayflies (hook size 16-20) but they can hatch in incredible numbers at a time when eager trout are just beginning to look to the surface after a hungry winter.

Also used to describe the entire abdominal dorsum or the thoracic dorsal segments of Odonata.), and genitalia (Burks '53), this specimen is P. adoptiva.
Mayfly Species Teloganopsis deficiens
Anglers in western Wisconsin, where these little flies hatch in good numbers on summer rivers, have termed them "Darth Vaders" because of the very dark color of their wings.
Until recently, this species was known as Serratella deficiens.
Teloganopsis deficiens (Little Black Quill) Mayfly Nymph View 6 PicturesThis nymph has tiny, barely detectable tubercles (
A few (not all) of the abdominal tubercles on this Ephemerella needhami nymph are circled. They are especially large in this species.

Their character is important for the identification of many kinds of insects, such as the nymphs of Ephemerellidae mayflies.) on its abdominal segments, and I could not find the maxillary palpi. I have tentatively guessed that it is Serratella deficiens.
Jargon Defined:
Duns: Mayflies have two adult stages. They first emerge from the water as duns (scientifically known as the subimago stage). They then molt into the spinner (imago) stage, in which they mate and die. Sometimes the word "dun" is confusingly used to refer to a brownish gray color in fly tying materials.
Nymphs: The juvenile, underwater stages of mayflies, stoneflies, dragonflies, and damselflies and other aquatic insects whose juvenile stages are covered by hard exoskeletons. The word can also refer to the fishing flies which imitate these creatures, in which case it is used as a blanket term for flies imitating any underwater stage of an invertebrate (except for crayfish and leeches).
Terga: the dorsal part of an abdominal segment or segments (terga). Also used to describe the entire abdominal dorsum or the thoracic dorsal segments of Odonata.
Tubercles: Various peculiar little bumps or projections on an insect. Their character is important for the identification of many kinds of insects, such as the nymphs of Ephemerellidae mayflies.

BkiUfnjxK1UJ-2RwYEIb | Doctors should be encouraged to use 'safety netting' to improve cancer detection in patients with vague symptoms, say primary care researchers from Oxford University in The BMJ today.
© OUImages/Nasir Hamid
Safety netting ensures patients do not drop through the healthcare net but are monitored until symptoms are explained. This includes explaining uncertainty about the cause of symptoms and making sure patients receive test results even if they do not attend a follow-up appointment.
Patients visit their doctor every day about symptoms that could be cancer. Some will have easily recognised high risk symptoms such as difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or coughing up blood (haemoptysis). But most will have vague or non-specific symptoms like cough, fatigue, or abdominal pain, where the likelihood of cancer is low.
Faced with this uncertainty, doctors have a responsibility to avoid causing unnecessary alarm and wasting scarce resources through over-investigation, which may result in harm to the patient. But this must be balanced with the potential harm of delaying a diagnosis of serious disease.
Safety netting is regarded as "best practice" for cancer diagnosis - allowing doctors to tease out serious disease by following up patients over time. But there is little evidence on whether it improves cancer detection and how best to do it in patients with vague symptoms.
So Dr Brian Nicholson and colleagues in Oxford University's Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences searched for evidence on how safety netting can be done effectively as part of a project funded by Cancer Research UK.
They found no apparent evidence on whether safety netting is effective. However, they did find evidence on three main issues: the necessary components of safety netting, the roles of patient and doctor, and the problems arising from miscommunication or misinterpretation of initial test results.
Based on this evidence, the authors recommend that doctors explain uncertainty about the cause of symptoms with patients, ensuring they understand why, when and with who they should re-consult about which concerning symptoms.
Systems should also be in place to ensure that test results are reviewed by somebody with knowledge of cancer guidelines, and that positive and negative results are communicated to the patient promptly.
"Although the evidence base is uncertain, safety netting remains the best option, and is likely better than nothing," say the authors. "It is important that patients continue to visit their doctor until their symptoms are explained. We know that doctors are safety netting every day to keep their patients safe. By conducting research on safety netting we will be able to understand which safety netting messages and systems are effective."

Sea-Level Rise Has Claimed Islands Above Water For At Least 300 Years
By The Conversation | May 7th 2016 05:30 AM | Print | E-mail
Sea-level rise, erosion and coastal flooding are some of the greatest challenges facing humanity from climate change.
Recently at least five reef islands in the remote Solomon Islands have been lost completely to sea-level rise and coastal erosion, and a further six islands have been severely eroded.
These islands lost to the sea range in size from one to five hectares. They supported dense tropical vegetation that was at least 300 years old. Nuatambu Island, home to 25 families, has lost more than half of its habitable area, with 11 houses washed into the sea since 2011.
This is the first scientific evidence, published in Environmental Research Letters, that confirms the numerous anecdotal accounts from across the Pacific of the dramatic impacts of climate change on coastlines and people.
All that remains of one of the completely eroded islands. Simon Albert, Author provided
A warning for the world
Previous studies examining the risk of coastal inundation in the Pacific region have found that islands can actually keep pace with sea-level rise and sometimes even expand.
However, these studies have been conducted in areas of the Pacific with rates of sea level rise of 3-5 mm per year – broadly in line with the global average of 3 mm per year.
For the past 20 years, the Solomon Islands have been a hotspot for sea-level rise. Here the sea has risen at almost three times the global average, around 7-10 mm per year since 1993. This higher local rate is partly the result of natural climate variability.
These higher rates are in line with what we can expect across much of the Pacific in the second half of this century as a result of human-induced sea-level rise. Many areas will experience long-term rates of sea-level rise similar to that already experienced in Solomon Islands in all but the very lowest-emission scenarios.
Natural variations and geological movements will be superimposed on these higher rates of global average sea level rise, resulting in periods when local rates of rise will be substantially larger than that recently observed in Solomon Islands. We can therefore see the current conditions in Solomon Islands as an insight into the future impacts of accelerated sea-level rise.
We studied the coastlines of 33 reef islands using aerial and satellite imagery from 1947-2015. This information was integrated with local traditional knowledge, radiocarbon dating of trees, sea-level records, and wave models.
Waves add to damage
Wave energy appears to play an important role in the dramatic coastal erosion observed in Solomon Islands. Islands exposed to higher wave energy in addition to sea-level rise experienced greatly accelerated loss compared with more sheltered islands.
Twelve islands we studied in a low wave energy area of Solomon Islands experienced little noticeable change in shorelines despite being exposed to similar sea-level rise. However, of the 21 islands exposed to higher wave energy, five completely disappeared and a further six islands eroded substantially.
The human story
These rapid changes to shorelines observed in Solomon Islands have led to the relocation of several coastal communities that have inhabited these areas for generations. These are not planned relocations led by governments or supported by international climate funds, but are ad hoc relocations using their own limited resources.
Many homes are close to sea level on the Solomons. Simon Albert, Author provided
The customary land tenure (native title) system in Solomon Islands has provided a safety net for these displaced communities. In fact, in some cases entire communities have left coastal villages that were established in the early 1900s by missionaries, and retraced their ancestral movements to resettle old inland village sites used by their forefathers.
In other cases, relocations have been more ad hoc, with indivdual families resettling small inland hamlets over which they have customary ownership.
In these cases, communities of 100-200 people have fragmented into handfuls of tiny family hamlets. Sirilo Sutaroti, the 94-year-old chief of the Paurata tribe, recently abandoned his village. "The sea has started to come inland, it forced us to move up to the hilltop and rebuild our village there away from the sea," he told us.
In addition to these village relocations, Taro, the capital of Choiseul Province, is set to become the first provincial capital in the world to relocate residents and services in response to the impact of sea-level rise.
The global effort
Interactions between sea-level rise, waves, and the large range of responses observed in Solomon Islands – from total island loss to relative stability – shows the importance of integrating local assessments with traditional knowledge when planning for sea-level rise and climate change.
Linking this rich knowledge and inherent resilience in the people with technical assessments and climate funding is critical to guiding adaptation efforts.
Melchior Mataki who chairs the Solomon Islands' National Disaster Council, said: "This ultimately calls for support from development partners and international financial mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund. This support should include nationally driven scientific studies to inform adaptation planning to address the impacts of climate change in Solomon Islands."
Last month, the Solomon Islands government joined 11 other small Pacific Island nations in signing the Paris climate agreement in New York. There is a sense of optimism among these nations that this signifies a turning point in global efforts.
However, it remains to be seen how the hundreds of billions of dollars promised through global funding models such as the Green Climate Fund can support those most at need in remote communities, like those in Solomon Islands.

BkiUdYo241xg966rO1k8 | Q: In PHP how do I recursively remove all folders that aren't empty?
Possible Duplicate:
How do I recursively delete a directory and its entire contents (files+sub dirs) in PHP?
I need to recursively delete a directory and subdirectories that aren't empty. I can't find any useful class or function to solve this problem.
In advance thanks for your answers.
A: Something like this should do it...
function removeDir($path) {
// Normalise $path.
$path = rtrim($path, '/') . '/';
// Remove all child files and directories.
$items = glob($path . '*');
foreach($items as $item) {
is_dir($item) ? removeDir($item) : unlink($item);
}
// Remove directory.
rmdir($path);
}
removeDir('/path/to/dir');
This deletes all child files and folders and then removes the top level folder passed to it.
It could do with some error checking such as testing the path supplied is a directory and making sure each deletion was successful.
A: From the first comment in the official documentation.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.rmdir.php
<?php
// When the directory is not empty:
function rrmdir($dir) {
if (is_dir($dir)) {
$objects = scandir($dir);
foreach ($objects as $object) {
if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
if (filetype($dir."/".$object) == "dir") rrmdir($dir."/".$object); else unlink($dir."/".$object);
}
}
reset($objects);
rmdir($dir);
}
}
?>
Edited rmdir to rrmdir to correct typo from obvious intent to create recursive function.
A: To recursively delete a directory use this:
function rrmdir($path) {
return is_file($path)? @unlink($path): array_map(__NAMESPACE__ . '\rrmdir',glob($path.'/*'))==@rmdir($path);
}
Only tested on unix.

The couple will be staying at the Admiralty House during the Australian leg of their tour. Meghan and Harry were spotted landing in Australia yesterday, with the Duke in a gray sweater and the Duchess in a black and maroon coat over a turtleneck and pants. She was also carrying a couple of binders, strategically placed over her stomach.
Harry and Meghan are touring from October 16 to October 31 through Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji and have 76 engagements planned ahead. The couple also sought medical advice ahead of traveling to the latter two countries, where there is a risk of Zika, royal commentator Omid Scobie revealed.
The couple was last seen in public during Princess Eugenie's royal wedding on Friday, which they attended with other members of the royal family. Although they enjoyed the ceremony, Harry and Meghan couldn't stay for the second day of celebrations on Saturday, as they had to fly 22 hours to Sydney.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are slated to make official appearances tomorrow, for their first engagements of royal tour.

*
*The WHATWG Living Standard for HTML
*HTML 5.1
The <style> element can appear in the <body> as well, but only if it has a scoped attribute and (IIRC) one or two other conditions are met.
Whatever tool you are using to test your markup with, is testing it against one of the languages in the first group (where it is not allowed) and not in the second group (where it is).
Given browser support for it, I would advise against using the scoped attribute at the moment.
A: scoped isn't a widely supported attribute (believe it's oly natively available in Firefox at the moment), also you will need to specify the DOCTYPE as HTML5 for it to work. You have two choices, use a JavaScript library to get the tag working: https://github.com/thingsinjars/jQuery-Scoped-CSS-plugin
Or use conventional styling with classes, id's and appropriate CSS selectors.

BkiUcqPxK7Ehm4qs0J42 | Dreamscape (1977) was a vocalise, composed by Dad alongside Love song, for Peter & Meriel Dickinson. My father was trying to express the 'unconscious language of the soul'—a kind of dream language, which is made especially haunting due to the oscillating quarter tones which appear at the beginning. A few years ago, when our pianist Lech Napierała and cellist Piotr Hausenplas were looking for a piece to play (and no singer was available), I suggested they try substituting the vocal part with the cello. You might be wondering why we have the instrumental version here but, actually, my mother and I much prefer it this way—particularly as my father had always admired the cello for its 'singing quality'. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdDk5qWTA5dUDkFJt | Privacy Monday - May 19, 2014 - Lessons Learned from Facebook
Promises to Keep: Lessons Learned from Facebook's Recent Acquisitions of WhatsApp and Moves
Mergers are never simple, but the acquisition of consumer products and technology requires the purchasing entity to consider a number of questions and issues beyond the standard concerns related to executive pay, corporate valuations and per share prices. Will we be able to integrate our corporate cultures? Will the service's current users make angry reaction GIFs about us to demonstrate their disapproval? Is this something we can fix with a rapping monkey video? Are Beats by Dre headphones 'extraordinarily bad'? Following a number of high profile tech acquisitions, Facebook, Inc. has learned that among the questions that must be asked, is "What promises has the target entity made to its users regarding data the target is collecting?"
In April, Facebook acquired Moves, a fitness and activity tracking mobile application. Prior to the acquisition, Moves' privacy policy stated that data collected from users would not be shared with third parties. Immediately following the acquisition, Moves responded to concerns about sharing information by reassuring users on its company blog that Moves would continue to operate as a standalone app, and that there were "no plans to change that or commingle data with Facebook." Less than two weeks later, however, Facebook faced considerable backlash after it updated Moves' privacy policy to provide that:
We may share information, including personally identifying information, with our Affiliates (companies that are part of our corporate groups of companies, including but not limited to Facebook) to help provide, understand, and improve our Services.
The new language isn't unusual; similar provisions can be found in most online privacy policies, but under the circumstances the change appeared to backtrack on a promise made to the service's users. As a result, Facebook found itself on the defensive. Facebook released a statement clarifying that data from Moves would not be commingled with Facebook data, and that the purpose of sharing data was limited to providing support and services to the Moves app. Regardless of whether that statement conforms with Facebook's initial goal for sharing information, there is no question that the language in Facebook's statement intended to calm users is substantially narrower than the position it took in Moves' updated policy.
If Facebook's experience with Moves seems familiar, that is likely because similar events occurred just a few months ago, when Facebook announced its acquisition of WhatsApp. WhatsApp is a mobile application messaging service with hundreds of millions of users worldwide. The $19 billion acquisition has generally been viewed as Facebook's attempt to solidify its position in the mobile messaging market, but users immediately began to express concern over potential changes that Facebook could implement to WhatsApp's data collection policies. Similar to Moves, WhatsApp made a number of pre-acquisition promises to its users regarding the collection and use of data. The WhatsApp privacy policy in effect prior to the acquisition provided, among other things, that location data and information from mobile address books (such as contact lists or addresses) would not be collected, and that mobile phone numbers and personally identifiable information would not be used or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
In response to user concerns and rumors of policy changes, WhatsApp posted to its company blog to reassure its users that WhatsApp would continue to operate as a standalone app and had no plans to change its data collection practices. With Facebook on the defensive following the acquisition, Mark Zuckerberg also reassured the public that WhatsApp's policies and data storage practices would not change.
In clearing the sale, the Federal Trade Commission used the opportunity to forewarn Facebook against failing to honor those promises. In a letter to Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer and WhatsApp's general counsel, the FTC reminded the companies of their prior statements and policies; characterizing both as "clear promises to consumers" that, if not upheld, may constitute a deceptive practice under Section 5 of the FTC Act. The letter further clarified the FTC's position that absent affirmative express consent from consumers, collected data cannot be used in a manner that is materially inconsistent with promises made at the time the data was collected. In other words, even if Facebook hadn't made the narrower statement clarifying the changes to the Moves privacy policy, it may not have had the option to commingle data Moves collected prior to the acquisition unless it obtained the affirmative consent of the affected users.
So What Have We Learned?
What can potential acquirors and technology companies learn from Facebook's experience with Moves and WhatsApp? Here are a few key take-aways:
Understand Your Limitations Before You Buy. During the diligence phase of any acquisition, the policies of the target entity and public statements made by its representatives should be thoroughly reviewed for statements concerning use and sharing of data. As regulations on collection of data tighten, we have seen an increase in the number of acquisitions where the collected data is as valuable, of not more so, than the acquired product. This is particularly important in those cases where the acquisition price factors in assumptions regarding how that data will be monetized.
Have a Plan and Consider Ongoing Costs. If an acquiror does want to change the use or collection practices of a target entity, it is important to understand that there will be costs associated with those changes. From an operations standpoint, a process will need to be put in place to solicit consumer consent. In almost every situation, express consent will not be given by 100% of current users, so a value judgment will need to be made between (a) limiting access for users who do not consent (which may not be an option at all depending on what the product or service is) and (b) segregating user data into separate pools. The latter option will require ongoing expense to maintain and coordinate logistics between separate systems and data pools. This process will need to be closely managed by your general counsel and/or your outside data privacy counsel.
Understand the Culture of Your Target. Not every company has the kind of deeply ingrained user expectations that we've seen with companies like WhatsApp and Tumblr, but it is important to understand what kind of user base the target has before you purchase. In the case of WhatsApp, concerns erupted immediately, without an indication that Facebook intended to change WhatsApp's data policies. Similarly, negative reactions to Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr began immediately on the basis of public perceptions of the companies involved. Acquiring entities should consider whether a consumer response plan should be put in place prior to announcing the acquisition and, in some cases, whether messaging control and public response management will be required on a preemptive basis.
Know Whether Promises Have Been Kept. When conducting diligence review of an entity for acquisition, take a broad perspective when assessing whether that entity has lived up to its promises on how it treats consumer data. In addition to policies and terms of use, you may need to consider interviews, press releases and marketing materials.
As noted at the outset, mergers are never simple. Rare are the acquisitions that will be completed without a hitch. When it comes to user data, however, it is more important than ever for acquiring entities to take the necessary steps to ensure that they get what they pay for. | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUdEE5qhDACrLp7g_6 | IT'S A RERUN _ 'MY THREE SONS'
MARLO MAIMONESUN-SENTINEL
The third time was a charm for Cathy and Mark Edwards of Sunrise. The couple tried for six months to have a third child.
"My husband wanted another son and I wanted to see if we could have a girl," Cathy said. "However, at this point I wouldn't know what to do with a girl. I have 'My Three Sons,' but I had better stop now, otherwise I'll wind up with a basketball team."
Daniel Mark Edwards was born on Oct. 25 at Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines. Cathy said Daniel was one month early but still weighed more than 7 pounds. He was ready for the world, but Cathy wasn't.
"I was totally unprepared because I thought I had another month," she said. "I had nothing done for the holidays, no food, and I was still at work. It was very interesting."
Daniel's two brothers, Timothy, 10, and Matthew, 7, are a big help, according to Cathy. Matthew adores his baby brother and says Daniel is his baby. Both boys are into sports, especially Timothy.
"I was at his tackle football games while I was pregnant with Daniel, so maybe he'll follow in his brother's footsteps," she said.
Cathy is an assistant property manager at The Oasis in Sunrise and Mark is a general manager for D.F. Consultants.
Cathy and Mark are on a bowling league and she has been an assistant coach for T-ball while Mark is an assistant coach for softball and basketball. They feel it is important to stay active with their kids. They've been together for 10 years after meeting at a restaurant in Sunrise. He had just moved here from Kentucky and she had just moved from New York.
They had a family reunion over the Christmas holiday and everyone had the chance to meet Daniel. Cathy said having a baby around again has been a great experience for everyone involved.
"It's our third time around so we are a little wiser, older and have more experience," Cathy said. "We're all enjoying the experience." | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdqQ5qhDACs7pJhGs | A critical step in cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) image analysis is to calculate the average of all images aligned to a projection direction. This average, called the "class mean", improves the signal-to-noise ratio in single particle reconstruction (SPR). The averaging step is often compromised because of outlier images of ice, contaminants, and particle fragments. Outlier detection and rejection in the majority of current cryo-EM methods is done using cross-correlation with a manually determined threshold. Empirical assessment shows that the performance of these methods is very sensitive to the threshold. This paper proposes an alternative: a "w-estimator" of the average image, which is robust to outliers and which does not use a threshold. Various properties of the estimator, such as consistency and influence function are investigated. An extension of the estimator to images with different contrast transfer functions (CTFs) is also provided. Experiments with simulated and real cryo-EM images show that the proposed estimator performs quite well in the presence of outliers.

Open Statement Regarding the Assassination of Rene Quirante
The Alliance for People's Health and the Organizing Centre for Social and Economic Justice condemn the shocking and horrific assassination of Rene "Toto" Quirante, Chairman of the legal organization KAUGMA-ON, the Guihulngan chapter of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP or Peasant Movement of the Philippines) working to address the human rights of peasant farmers.
Rene Quirante was shot dead at around two in the morning October 1, 2010, in Sitio Amomoyong, Barangay Trinidad, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental. He had traveled to the Barangay for a legal meeting of the local Kaogma-on and had decided to stay overnight at the home of a local family because the meeting ended close to dark making travel difficult. During the night they were awakened by men forcibly entering the house, men who appeared to be members of the 11th IB PA, an infantry battalion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). These men dragged Rene Quirante out into the yard and shot him in the head and the chest, in view of the family and their nine children.
The Armed Forces considers Negros Island as a priority area under Oplan Bantay Laya, the national counter-insurgency program which was launched under the direction of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2002. This program replicates previous counter-insurgency programs of the Marcos, Ramos, and Estrada regimes, and has been decried by human rights observers as treating legal organizations as military targets and waging a war of counterinsurgency against such groups as lawyers, human rights observers, and members of the Church. President Benigno S. Aquino III has extended Oplan Bantay Laya, and only 3 months into his regime the trend of Extra Judicial Killings continues. Rene Quirante was the 14th victim of political killings since the recent Aquino election in June, 2010.
Rene "Toto" Quirante was a friend of members of the Alliance for People's Health. We travelled to his home in Guihulngan, where we met with local leaders of Kaogma-on to learn about the health and economic situations of the peasant farmers, and worked together with Kaogma-on members to address the health issues of rural communities. Rene Quirante was one of the local organizers of the September 2008 Medical Mission in Guihulngan in which members of the Alliance for People's Health directly participated. This important mission, which brought health care to the most marginalized sectors of Philippine society, was organized and sponsored by Kaogma-on Guihulngan, with the support and participation of the Negros Island Health Integrated Program and the Council for Health and Development, partner organizations of the Alliance for People's Health.
As health care professionals, teachers, union representatives, and allies with legal Filipino organizations, we are completely outraged at this recent political execution, and with the continuing trend of Extra Judicial Killings under the Arroyo Presidency. We are gravely concerned about the human rights situation in the Philippines; in light of the fact that our 43 colleagues (the Morong 43) are still being illegally detained, our mounting concern grows daily.
We stand with organizations in the Philippines, in Canada, and internationally when we call upon President Benigno S. Aquino III to ensure the timely investigation of Rene Quirante's case by members of human rights organizations, the Church, local government, and the Commission on Human Rights. We call on President Benigno S. Aquino III to withdraw support from Oplan Bantay Laya, and order the military to stop targeting human rights defenders. We call upon President Benigno S. Aquino III to uphold the rights of Filipinos to form legal organizations to address the social, economic, and political issues of their communities. Finally, we call upon President Benigno S. Aquino III and the Philippine Government to uphold its commitments under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and take these immediate actions to draw a close to the gross history of human rights violations in the Philippines.

BkiUdYg5qWTA9fx_AXT9 | Q: How to fix "This operation is not supported in the environment this application is running on. "location.protocol" ..." error running Xcode? I am trying to run an Ionic Capacitor app with an iPhone simulator via Xcode.
It worked fine for the last couple of weeks. Also running the app with local host (ionic serve) still works fine.
However, since yesterday I am getting the following error when running it on the simulator or directly on an iPhone via Xcode:
[error] - ERROR {"code":"auth/operation-not-supported-in-this-environment","message":"This operation is not supported in the environment this application is running on. \"location.protocol\" must be http, https or chrome-extension and web storage must be enabled."}
For authentication I simply use Firebase Email and Password Auth. No Facebook or Google Auth.
I already tried to use other Firebase libraries as suggested in this post.
But that didn't help.
Anyone an idea how to fix that?
A: After all I found this solution which fixed the issue for now:

BkiUds85qWTBHVEA1y5c | Axel Rudi Pell – 'The Ballads' (1993) – Album Review (The Jeff Scott Soto Series)
After Jeff Scott Soto had finished his vocals on the 'Eternal Prisoner' album for Axel Rudi Pell, he went back to the states to continue to work with his band Slam. Then it was on to work on the next Talisman album 'Genesis'. But his obligations weren't done with Axel. Axel wanted to do an album full of nothing but ballads so Jeff was brought back in April 1993 to finish up some work on several songs to be included on the album. Jeff was only on 4 of the 10 songs, two were instrumentals, two from Rob Rock with one from Karl Holthaus both previous singers of Axel's.
The album was released on September 7, 1993 and I guess it was successful as Axel did a total of five of these Ballad compilations. 'The Ballads' release had a mixture of previously released tracks, some previously unreleased tracks and even a couple covers. It is a lot of ballads to have on an album. It caused a mixture of reactions. Some metal fans were turned off because the album was nothing but ballads, however, you had a section of non-metal people that were now introduced to Axel's music because it was all ballads. Heck it was the ballads that probably brought a lot of women in to the Glam music scene anyway…that and the fact they wanted to know the secrets on how the guys got their hair so big and poofy. But lets talk about the music instead of the hair.
"You Want Love" opens the album and was one of the new tracks recorded by Jeff Scott Soto for this release. Opens with acoustic guitars and then Soto comes in singing in a soft falsetto. The chorus brings harmonies and the bass and drum. From here on out, the tempo stays relatively consistent. Jeff does sound great, I'll give him that, but the song is a little dull as it is too same-same sounding throughout. Even the solo is a little lifeless and boring.
On the song "Forever Young", Soto was unaware of this track prior to recording it. He didn't realize it was a big hit in Europe with the band Alphaville. Everyone on the project was surprised he didn't know it. This song was recorded by Jeff in April 1993 and previously unreleased. It opens with keyboards and Jeff on vocals. Where the original was very pop oriented with synths and drum machines, this one naturally feels more rock with Jeff's vocals alone as he carries so much more power. The drums on here are real and the bass line is a nice groove as well. Axel shows up only for the solo and it is pretty good one that fits the song with a little bit of showing off (which he should do) and helps make it more of a rock song.
Next up is the first of 3 instrumentals and this one is called "Dreams of Passion" off the Eternal Prisoner album from 1992. You can feel Axel Rudi Pell's heart pouring out in the notes he is playing. It is heartfelt, passionate and emotional. Talk about feel, it is not about the notes or how fast he can play, it is about control, finesse and inspiration. You could sing along with it and that isn't always easy to do with an instrumental. Beautifully done.
"Your Life (Not Close Enough to Paradise)" is also off the Eternal Prisoner album and has Jeff on vocals. This is a classic 80's power ballad and it is an acoustic track so even more 80's. It has the slow heartfelt vocals from Soto, the powerful drums that heat up in the chorus and Axel's guitar playing is subtle and effective. It can really pull at the heartstrings. Great track.
The final Jeff Scott Soto song is another recorded back in April 1993 and is "Tearin' Out My Heart". This is a cover of the Rainbow classic as Axel is a huge Richie Blackmore fan. Another track with that opens with keyboards, but compared to the original, there are no guitar riffs like Blackmore does. If Axel loves Blackmore so much, why isn't he matching him note for note on the fills and riffs and his solo isn't as impressive either. Soto holds his own vocally, but I think Axel is the one lacking here.
Then we get another Richie Blackmore cover with Deep Purple's "When A Blind Man Cries". This time the vocals are handled by Impellitteri singer Rob Rock. Rob does a great job vocally as he really pulls the bluesiness out of the song and gives it his all. The pacing of the song is similar to the original, but again, Pell is no Blackmore and it shows. If you aren't familiar with the original, then this will be a fine track. If you are it is a so-so cover version but doesn't really hold a candle ot the original. Musically, the blues tone is sorely missing. The highlight on here is definitely Rob Rock as he slays the vocals.
"Broken Heart" is a 1989 demo version of the song that appeared on Wild Obsession but has Karl Holthaus on vocals instead of Charlie Huhn. The song was remixed in April 1993 for this compilation. Karl's vocals are front and center and the music pushed to the background. The music is simple as they are really wanting to showcase what Karl can do. The chorus has some great harmonies and for a demo is really good. Even when we get to the solo, it is not brought to the front of the mix as it still feels like background, but it has a nice feel to it. All-in-all, I like this one.
The second instrumental we get is "Open Doors Pt. 2: The Journey" recorded back in 1991 for the Nasty Reputation album. Axel's performance has an airy feel as the notes float around you. It is soft like a ballad and he puts as much emotion in to the notes as he can muster. It doesn't really feel like a journey though, it just feels like he is going in circles. It is short and sweet.
"Falling Tears" is another previously unreleased track with Rob Rock on vocals. Recorded back in March 1991 it didn't wind up on Nasty Reputation. Rob has a great falsetto and really goes all out. He is just shy of screaming and it sounds so good. The chorus sees him even go higher as the glass by my desk shatters. What a powerful voice he has.
And finally we get "Broken Heart" again. This time it is a guitar version with Axel taking front and center. The original basic track was recorded back in August 1989, but the lead guitar parts were done in August 1990 a year later. This version is also previously unreleased. Compared to the last couple instrumentals, Axel really is more powerful here. He is putting the power in power ballad. His playing is top notch and finally really highlights his abilities.

The Track Score is 7.5 out of 10 or a 75%. I'll admit, an album full of ballads at first seem too much, but in the end, with the different singers and the instrumentals, it wasn't half bad. I actually enjoyed it. The three singers of Jeff Scott Soto, Rob Rock and Karl Holthaus are all fantastic singers and are not the problem with this release. I have to say I thought the problem with this release was Axel Rudi Pell. His name is on the cover, it is his band so if you are listening to this you want more out of the guitar work and I think he pulled back. Which is great to let the singers shine, but I wanted more power in my ballads. Despite that, it is still a respectable listen and My Overall Score is a 3.5 out of 5.0 Stars. I loved the fact I got three more Jeff Songs I didn't have prior and that is always a good thing.

meh, my favorite albums are which features 1 ballad per 4 rock songs/headbanger
I think most people are that way. Axel thinks differently as he has I think 5 of these Ballad compilations.
You're giving me too many artists to wishlist.
You are welcome!! That is why I'm here…to spend your money!
As you might know, I'm a sucker for a good power ballad and these are good.
You get your fill on this one for sure!
That's true!
Not to often you see an album with a tune that you would delete off at the start.lol You know you're a hardcore fan when you buy an album full of ballads for a couple of tracks because you're homeboy Soto is on them.
Thats a true music fan right there!
I wasn't going to get it because he was only on four songs, but 2 I didn't have so, why not!!
Damn! The man sure is a workaholic. Was he on a mission to have his name on every single album in existence from 1980 to 1990?
He is…and still is today! Always on the move doing something.
I've normally ignored these Ballad albums.
Off to Spotify to listen.
I would have as well except there were two Soto tracks I didn't have so had to get.

BkiUbac5i7PA9LCKwCwI | by Staff | November 2, 2015
A lot can be said about the idea of "smart drugs" all thanks to Hollywood and pop culture referencing them — from the movies Lucy (2014) to Limitless (2011) and the adapted TV series of the latter (2015). It is certainly fascinating, to say the least, of the sheer possibility that just by taking a pill our brains could gain enhanced superhuman capacities that would allow us to think faster, perform better, and ultimately be smarter in a matter of seconds.
Even though such drug-taking solution does not seem innocuous — which is typical of Hollywood — the possibilities still make us wonder whether or not in the near future we could all be taking something as simple as a small pill to contribute to our success.
Recent development of prescription pills for narcolepsy has allegedly been proven to be successful smart drugs.
But are there any side effects? Can anybody use them without any risks? Can we consider this a new way of boosting our intellectual game, or are we just falling for the same corrupt ways which athletes who take steroids fall into?
Despite the moral or ethical considerations we might hold against these types of drugs, curiosity about them is all over nowadays.
Wouldn't you like to — at least — know that the opportunity to be smarter by taking a pill is not out of reach?
There has been widespread of information about the so-called smart drugs because seemingly, we've finally conquered the safe smart drugs.
The thing about these pills is that even though they are not fictional, their effects have been greatly exaggerated. Evidently, no pill is going to make you turn into a USB driver device, but nevertheless, some say that the pills do make you smarter.
Used by Students, CEOs, and Military?
One such example of a pill is modafinil, which is one of the many drugs including Ritalin, Adderal, and Concerta, that are increasingly being used by healthy adults to improve productivity.
College students even seek alternatives to be able to produce more and excel at their activities. And it shouldn't come as a surprise with folks in high-demanding stressful professions taking these drugs to boost their respective performance.
Some users say that when Moda –which is short for 'Modafinil'- appear, it was the new Adderal or Ritalin, but without that sense of euphoria that comes from those other pills. (https://news.vice.com/article/users-say-the-smart-drug-modafinil-is-the-new-adderall-only-better)
But it's not only students in the academic world and workaholics in the corporate world who use smart drugs, but also the military usage has changed and shifted. With no rebound effects, the drugs do seem perfect for military usage.
It's no secret that the military uses such drugs and openly talks about the need for them as a mean to completing missions with a clear, focused, and alert mind. (https://hbr.org/2016/05/like-it-or-not-smart-drugs-are-coming-to-the-office)
Side Effects and Unknown
The advantages of smart drugs may seem limitless – but do have their limits.
For instance, the side effects are still not very clear and it could be years from now before we know about them. Yet according to advocates, these smart drugs have no side effects, but not everybody can make that a true statement.
(Remember when doctors used to prescribe cigarettes? No, because it was years ago.)
There will be people whose body won't be able to process the drugs and have bad episodes of terrible side effects — just like poor Benjamin Zand (http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35091574) — and experienced no real results in increased cognitive abilities.
In the U.S., it is illegal to buy these pills unless you're diagnosed with the symptoms associated with the medical intended purposes of these drugs.
But isn't this illegal (at least in U.S.) usage of the pills also cheating?
Let's say if you slack off during a whole semester or if your boss is pointing out that you're being lazy in the workplace, and you desperately hope to find the solution for all your troubles in a smart pill, you might want to reconsider doing something illegal and also, morally reproachable.
Besides, you will also potentially endanger your health, since long-term effects of most of these drugs intended for prescription use are unknown, and you could end up in the E.R., as cases of overdose have triplicated from 2008 to 2011. (http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/08/the-rise-of-work-doping/402373)
Are Smart Drugs Right for You?
The first thing you'll need to ask yourself then would be: "Am I physically able to take this risk?"
You'll want to go through extensive medical testing to see if your liver, amongst other organs, can actually support the drug use. (That is, if you really want to be careful and avoid the risky side effects you may encounter. Keep in mind that most of the studies out there which show zero to few side effects were done in controlled environments and only looked at the effects of one dose.)
You'll also have to be conscious of the fact that you may even not experience any significant changes in your cognitive abilities.
But then again, you actually might see results and have zero side effects.
With that said, tests results for the "smart drug," modafinil, did show improvement in decision-making, planning abilities, flexible thinking, and information processing, but the drug didn't seem to change the creative aspect of the brain in either way. (http://www.europeanneuropsychopharmacology.com/article/S0924-977X(15)00249-7/abstract)
Maybe or maybe not these pills are tickets to a more productive business and academic life. Nevertheless, what is certain is that they are expected to grow in popularity amongst young adults in colleges and in competitive jobs who need high levels of productivity.
If you are still wanting to go down this path of gaining a mental edge through the use of smart drugs, then do so with carefulness and a critical eye.
Guilherme says:
Most of us heard about smart drugs because of movies.

Leipzig signs Danish right wing
Photo: http://www.scdhfk-handball.de
The German Bundesliga club SC DHfK Leipzig has signed a 2-year contract with the Danish right wing of the Danish champions Aalborg Håndbold, Patrick Wiesmach, from next season. He replaces the German right wing Peter Strosack.
Press release from DHfK Leipzig:
The first new signing for the 2018/19- season has been fixed. The handballers of the SC DHfK Leipzig have signed the Danish national player Patrick Wiesmach Larsen from the Danish champions Aalborg Håndbold. The 27-year-old right wing successfully completed the medical check at the Leipzig University Hospital yesterday and receives a contract until 2020.
Patrick Wiesmach has so far played 19 international caps (43 goals) for Denmark. In the current Champions League season, he has already scored 25 goals for Aalborg in the first five games, including seven goals in the tight 27-26 away defeat against THW Kiel. From 2010 to 2016 the fast and varied right-wing was active at the Dansih club TTH Holstebro, where he became the top scorer of the Danish League in 2015/16, and among others played together with the Bundesliga stars Michael Damgaard and Petar Nenadić.
"The Bundesliga has always been my dream. I would like to prove myself in the strongest league of the world and return to the national team. The SC DHfK Leipzig is a super club, which is developing dynamically in the direction of the Bundesliga top and plays a fast attractive handball, with which I can fully identify. I'm really looking forward to the new city and the club," said the 27-year-old newcomer.
"Patrick is a player of high individual quality who has proved his class in the Champions League this season. We are delighted that we have been able to commit such a good player," said head coach André Haber.
The SC DHfK is therefore heading for the next season with the duo Lucas Krzikalla / Patrick Wiesmach and will not use the contract option with Peter Strosack. "Peter has developed very well over the last two years, he has excellent athletics and has enriched our team very much, so this decision is anything but easy for us," says Managing Director Karsten Günther, who will focus on the remaining eight months with him in the DHfK team: "We have deliberately decided to put a new impetus on this position and we are very pleased that Patrick will be playing for SC DHfK Leipzig from next season. He has already gained a lot of international experience from which our team and especially Lucas Krzikalla can profit in the coming years. "
Rumor: Wiesmach to Leipzig

One of the greatest English tragic novels, TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES (1891) is the story of a "pure woman" who is victimized both by conventional morality and its antithesis. Born near Dorchester, Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) set most of his stories in the region between Berkshire and Dorset in the fictional county of Wessex. He was a controversial writer whose work often showed the result of flouting the rigid Victorian moral code — his novel JUDE THE OBSCURE was (allegedly) burned by the Bishop of Wakefield for its shocking content. Hardy was an unflinching observer and in TESS has left us some unforgettable vignettes of rural life in late 19th-century England: the slow death of a flock of wounded pheasants, the monotony of field labour under an iron gray sky, and the itinerant farm worker's seasonal round.

Masterful narration for a beautifully heart-wrenching story
Adrian Praetzellis gives a caring performance, allowing the story to come to life. The characters voices are well chosen and distinct; the English accent is a fine touch; the gentle pace good.

This reading is a labour of love - flawless, sensitive, technically clear, perfectly paced.
An impressive recording
Philippe Horak
The novel centers around a young woman who struggles to find her place in society. When it is discovered that the low-class Durbeyfield family is in reality the d'Urbervilles, the last of a famous bloodline that dates back hundreds of years, the mother sends her eldest daughter, Tess, to beg money from relations with the obvious desire that Tess wed the rich Mr. d'Urberville. Thus begins a tale of woe in which a wealthy man cruelly mistreats a poor girl. Tess is taken advantage of by Mr. d'Urberville and leaves his house, returning home to have their child, who subsequently dies. Throughout the rest of this fascinating novel, Tess is tormented by guilt at the thought of her impurity and vows to never marry. She is tested when she meets Angel, the clever son of a priest, and falls in love with him. After days of pleading, Tess gives in to Angel and consents to marry him. Angel deserts Tess when he finds the innocent country girl he fell in love with is not so pure. Many thanks to Mr Praetzellis for his wonderful reading of Hardy's novel. His performance will please all fans of classic British literature.

Both writer and reader had me almost putting everything else on hold from. the middle of the story to the very last sentence of this literary masterpiece.
Amazing novel, amazing reader. Thank you for making this so enjoyable Adrian.
Thank you Mr. P for your sensitive and engaging rendition of this beautifully written, sad and at times even tearjerking (the baptism had me crying my eyes out) masterpiece. Tess is a very likeable young woman who appears to have born under the dark cloud of her ancient extinct ancestors, the d,Urbervilles. Although fate has dealt her mostly a cruel hand, it is she herself who ultimately chooses the action which seals her tragic fate. Great reading of a great novel.
A Moving Story
Byron Lee Scott
Terrific reading. The depth of this tale, spiritually, historically, as well as the various characters is amazing. How much pain and suffering has been and still is the result of religious guilt, shame, and self-righteous, controlling morality? I'm glad some people are more open in modern times to discuss sexuality, and that religion has less power over individual choice. I'm impatient with detailed descriptions of scenery, though I suppose before television and movies it was more necessary.

I am absolutely floored by Hardy's excellence as an author in this book. I was force-fed it in high school, at a time I had no appreciation for such things, but ten years later this story has had a major impact on me. Once again Adrian provided an absolutely excellent reading. He is one of my favorite narrators on Librivox! | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 4 | 1 |

Sandy: The Rare Natural Disaster That Isn't Expected to Boost Gas Prices
Gasoline prices post biggest fall in nearly 4 years: survey Reuters
California gas on track to average more than $4 a gallon for 2012 Los Angeles Times
Gas hard to get in Northeast but price still right MarketWatch
Amid epically long lines at gas stations and pervasive fear and panic among drivers in areas hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, entrepreneurs have jumped into action. Ads on Craigslist reveal that a black market for gas has emerged, with opportunists offering gallons of regular at $8, $10, even $25 apiece—sometimes with delivery included. (How nice.)
Nonetheless, around the country, and even in states affected by Sandy, another trend has arisen, with gas prices dropping dramatically pretty much everywhere. According to Reuters, gas prices nationally decreased nearly 21¢ over the two-week span ending November 2. That's the steepest dip measured since 2008, when demand for gasoline plummeted amid the onset of the Great Recession.
The black market notwithstanding, gas prices remain relatively low in New York and New Jersey – averaging $3.96 and $3.61, respectively, as of Monday per the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. Elsewhere around the country, prices have been falling sharply. The average in California has hit $3.98, after going up to $4.67 as recently as early October. As of Saturday, reports the Sacramento Bee, the average in the metropolitan area was $3.82, representing a decline of 18¢ in a week and 55¢ in a month.
(MORE: Deep Impact: Sandy's Big Effects on Car Sales Now, and For Months to Come)
Last week, the Mercury News estimated that gas prices at gas stations in the San Francisco Bay area had dropped as much as 81¢ over the prior month.
It isn't just California and the West Coast experiencing major relief at the pump. Gas stations all over St. Louis began charging under $3 last week, after reaching an average of $3.77 in mid-September. Bizarrely, there have even been gas stations in Alabama lowering prices 16¢ in a single day.
There are several reasons for the broad decline in gas prices, including a seasonal fall-off in demand and the disappearance of refinery problems in the West Coast. Hurricane Sandy has also played a role. The storm was the rare natural disaster that didn't boost gas prices. In fact, Sandy has pushed them lower.
(PHOTOS: Capturing Sandy's Wrath)
While the enormous gas station lines in the New York metro area may suggest otherwise, overall demand for gasoline has declined in the region as fewer people have been commuting to work—or even able to drive since their cars have been ruined. "The Northeast is a significant gasoline consumer and not a major producer, so the drop in demand should be much greater than the effect on supplies," Michael Green, a spokesman for AAA, told MarketWatch.
Let's keep the recent price dip in perspective, however. The national average of $3.47 is still 6¢ higher than the average from one year ago. We are still on pace to register the priciest year ever for gasoline.
(MORE: Post-Sandy Price Gouging: Economically Sound, Ethically Dubious)
Some states are experiencing much pricier years than others. It was recently announced that California drivers have already paid a record-high $8.2 billion in state and local fuel taxes for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. Stats citied by the Los Angeles Times indicate that California is on pace to average above $4 per gallon in 2012. That blows away the previous high, which no longer seems all that high, all things considered: $3.81.

BkiUfsfxK6EuM_UbtJeP | Frances C. (Mayfield) Smalley died on April 11, 2019. Services will be Thursday, April 18, 2019, at the First United Methodist Church in Stillwater. Frances was born March 19, 1938, to Stillwater businessman Orval Mayfield and Ruth (Melton) Mayfield. An only child, she had a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins and was close to her parents. Growing up, Frances participated in many organizations, including Rainbow Girls and high school newspaper and yearbook. She graduated as a valedictorian from Stillwater High School in 1956 and remained in contact with many of her childhood friends and classmates throughout her life. As a junior at Stillwater High School, she met Tim Kent Smalley; since attaining a college degree was important for Frances, she and Tim waited until after graduation from Oklahoma State University, in 1960, to marry. At OSU, Frances majored in journalism and was named outstanding journalism senior in 1960; she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. After graduation, she obtained a teaching certificate and taught English in Cushing and at Southeast High School in Oklahoma City while Tim attended medical school. During this time, a son, Kent, was born. While her husband was in the Army, she briefly lived in Fort Irwin, CA. In 1967, Tim returned from Vietnam, and in 1970, the family moved to Enid, where their daughter, Tara, was born. In 1972, the family returned to Stillwater, where her husband went into practice in internal medicine and where she lived the rest of her life.
Frances served on the Board of the Sheerar Museum, on the Arts and Humanities Council, and as clothing and toy chair of the Stillwater Christmas Store. She was a Girl Scout leader and vice president of the Stillwater Middle School PTA, belonged to Chapter U of PEO and volunteered for American Cancer Society's Daffodil Days. Organized and efficient, she skillfully ran her home and family, juggling her husband's unpredictable schedule with her children's varied activities. Usually smiling, she provided consistency and reliability and created a warm, welcoming and secure home for her family.
Frances was a talented writer and enjoyed reading, playing bridge with her longtime bridge group, and especially, attending OSU sporting events with her husband. She loved animals, Paul Newman and the color turquoise.
She is survived by her husband of almost 59 years, Tim, of the home; and their children, Dr. Kent Ragan Smalley and Tonya Smalley, of Edmond; and Tara Rene Smalley-Hilliard and Julian Hilliard, of Norman; grandchildren, Zachary Robert Stokes and Kayla Renee Stokes; cousins; nieces and nephews; and her loyal dog, Koda.
Thanks to Dr. Woody Jenkins, Nancy Lyles, RN, Stillwater Home Health, caregivers Barbara Charles and Saundra Shenold and Karman Legacy Hospice.

BkiUds3xK03BfMLyqtxo | Between frizz, sweat and that icky feeling of hair on your neck in the heat, a good hair day is hard to come by in the summer. Luckily we have Pinterest to give us a daily dose of out-of-the-box hairstyles so we can get through the season's scorching temperatures with ease. Here are 10 styles we've bookmarked to stay cool and look fabulous all summer long.
Here's a cheap and easy way to show your American pride this 4th of July. Simply pull a Bruce Springsteen and tie a patriotic bandada around your head. It goes with practically every hairstyle.
Skip the super, super wet look (and all the gel that comes with it) with a more relaxed, not-so-wet version. Use a leave in conditioner (we love this Verb Conditioning Leave-In Mist) to dampen the crown of your head and use your fingers to comb it all back. If you're going to be outside, don't forget to add a UV protector, too!
If you're braid-challenged, do the twist! It's so much easier and looks just as cute.
Got some material or dreadlock extensions lying around? Play up a basic chignon or braid by weaving in some colorful pieces.
The milkmaid braid will never get old. But even if you cant create a red-carpet-worthy one, the messy type looks better anyway.
No time to shop for a ponytail cuff? Cover up that elastic by making a knot at the top and wrapping the excess hair around.
Two braids knotted at the back of your head is the chicest way to keep your hair off your face and prevent a sweaty mess.
Short to medium hair can pull off a braided chignon, too! Just create a bunch of baby braids and pin them at the nape.
Corn rolls were huge on the runways. But if you're too chicken to rock these plaits on your whole head (like us), create a crown of four or five corn rolls and tie them half way down. Bonus points if you have pastel hair.
Top knots are out and side knots are in. Get involved! Update the look by creating a French braid accross the back of your head into a messy side knot. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Calvert-Lewin sits atop Man United's summer hit list, would cost £50m: report
December 31, 2019 Jordan Street Transfer News 0
Image via: Max Pixel
We don't mean to keep banging on about it, but Manchester United's decision to move away from both Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the summer has left the Red Devils mightily short up front.
It's a problem that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is seemingly trying to fix sooner rather than later. After missing out on Erling Haaland's signature, last night, a new name was thrown into the ring; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
In an exclusive from The Sun, it is being claimed that the in-form 22-year-old striker sits atop United's summer hit list. Apparently, the Englishman was seen as a back-up plan to the aforementioned Haaland. Now, he's the main plan.
The Sun adds that Calvert-Lewin would cost £50million, which is more than double (almost treble), the £18m that Borussia Dortmund ended up paying to acquire Haalad from RB Salzburg.
Calvert-Lewin has scored eight league goals this term, including three goals in two starts under new boss Carlo Ancelotti, as the young forward begins to find his feet.
I like Calvert-Lewin as a player. He'd certainly fit into this United counter-attacking system due to his pace, though again, I'd have concerns about his skillset when teams sit back and look to soak up pressure with eleven men behind the ball.
Personally, I prefer Calvert-Lewin's Everton teammate Richarlison, although he'd likely cost considerably more than his English counterpart. Then again, United haven't had much luck with Brazilians, have they…?

BkiUdlY5qoYAxznJx-5V | Q: Update image src on the fly with VueJS I'm a new VueJS user, currently struggling with updating image src on the fly. This is what I've got:
Template:
<div v-for="place in places">
<img
v-bind:src="isPlacePrivate(place.data.place_is_private)"
v-on:click="setPlaceAsPrivate(place.data.place_is_private, place.data.place_id)"
>
</div>
<script>
export default {
data: function () {
return {
places: null,
}
},
mounted () {
this.username = this.$route.params.username;
axios.get('/api/' + this.username + '/places')
.then(response => {
this.places = response.data.data;
})
.catch(error => {
// show error
});
},
methods: {
isPlacePrivate: function (value) {
// If Place is private
if (value == 1) {
var src = '/icons/padlock-color.png'
} else {
var src = '/icons/padlock.png'
}
return src;
},
setPlaceAsPrivate: function (value, placeId) {
let data = {
isPrivate: value
};
axios.put('/api/' + this.username + '/places/' + placeId + '/edit', data)
.then(response => {
let newValue = response.data.data.private;
this.isPlacePrivate(newValue);
})
.catch(error => {
// show error
});
},
},
}
</script>
On a page load -> if a particular place is private it will show colored padlock icon or uncolored padlock if a place is public!
A user will be able to press on the padlock icon and change the value from public->private or private->public.
Everything is working fine but the padlock image is not updating on the fly when a user is clicking on it, I need to refresh a page to see changes! How to make it work?
A: I would suggest using a computed property so that it is reactive
Also according to your updates you are looping through an array of places so when you get your response from your axios call instead of just updating the icon I would try replacing the object in the array so I created the method called updatePlace() and I pass in the response object.
And change your places in the v-for to a computed property as well so that it is also reactive
Template:
<div v-for="place in placesArray" :key="index" v-if="places">
<img
v-bind:src="imgSrc"
v-on:click="setPlaceAsPrivate(place.data.place_is_private, place.data.place_id)"
v-if="imgSrc"
>
</div>
Script:
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
src: '',
places: null
}
},
computed: {
imgSrc() {
return this.src
},
placesArray() {
return this.places
}
},
Methods: {
isPlacePrivate: function (value) {
// If Place is private
if (value == 1) {
this.src = '/icons/padlock-color.png'
} else {
this.src = '/icons/padlock.png'
}
},
setPlaceAsPrivate: function (value, placeId) {
let data = {
isPrivate: value
};
axios.put('/api/' + this.username + '/places/' + placeId + '/edit', data)
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
let newValue = response.data.data;
this.updatePlace(newValue);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
},
},
updatePlace(newPlace) {
const index = this.places.findIndex(place => place.id === newPlace.id)
this.places.splice(index, 1, place)
},
created() {
this.username = this.$route.params.username;
axios.get('/api/' + this.username + '/places')
.then(response => {
this.places = response.data.data;
})
.catch(error => {
// show error
});
}
}
</script>
Also make sure to move your mounted method to a created() method so that it is called before anything else is trying to render.
A: Apparently the problem is that you are calling the function and printing its return on the <img v-bind:src>, the isPlacePrivate function returns a value, so when you use this function within the setPlaceAsPrivate it returns the value only in scope of setPlaceAsPrivate.
The isPlacePrivate function does not modify any data value of the component, so the image always remains the same. You just need to set a data and manipulate its value in the isPlacePrivate function.
Template
<img
v-bind:src="bindSrc"
v-on:click="setPlaceAsPrivate(place.data.place_is_private, place.data.place_id)"
>
Script
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
bindSrc: '/icons/padlock-color.png', // default img src value
... // your other values
}
},
Methods: {
isPlacePrivate: function (value) {
// If Place is private
if (value == 1) {
this.bindSrc = '/icons/padlock-color.png'
} else {
this.bindSrc = '/icons/padlock.png'
}
},
setPlaceAsPrivate: function (value, placeId) {
let data = {
isPrivate: value
};
axios.put('/api/' + this.username + '/places/' + placeId + '/edit', data)
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
let newValue = response.data.data.private;
this.isPlacePrivate(newValue);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
},

Delicious and fine in taste from clear to brown, most memorable were the Quinoa and Triple Smoke Whiskies.
Corsair pays to grow quinoa in Saskatchewan, chosen in lieu of South America to help fight against rising production costs for locals. This whiskey is smooth and light and a bit nutty.
Their triple smoke is a three-way blend of barley smoked in cherry wood from Wisconsin, peat from Scotland, and beechwood from Germany. This whiskey has a smooth flavor much more akin to Scotch than Bourbon, and the smokiness is subtle making it quite delectable for someone like me, who normally doesn't like peaty scotches as I generally find them overpowering.
The folks behind Corsair Distillery make beer too and are experimenting with blending the spirit and beer barrels for new tastes and flavors. Next door to the dimly lit spirit bar is a small tap room serving up their own crafts. This is where I sipped my first Turkish Coffee stout with flavors of cardamon and cinnamon. Dry, smooth, caffeinated and delicious – this is a beer to try!
Go for the tour which includes a full spirit tasting and a beer-to-go for the walk through the barrels.
I am loving following your trip….maybe you will gather enough material to do a self published travel book : Across America! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUgOrxK6EuNArbFFFq | La centrale nucleare di Temelín è una centrale nucleare della Repubblica Ceca situata presso la località di Temelín. La centrale è attualmente il più potente impianto dello stato, avendo due reattori VVER1000 da 1923 MW complessivi.
Espansione dell'impianto
È in fase di proposta l'espansione del sito con l'aggiunta di due nuovi reattori, che erano in previsione negli originari programmi di sviluppo della centrale ma sono poi stati accantonati a causa del crollo dell'Unione Sovietica. Si presume di installare una potenza complessiva prevista fino a 3200 MW, le consultazioni per decidere il tipo di reattore da utilizzare sono attualmente in corso.
La gara d'appalto è stata lanciata nell'agosto 2009, le uniche condizioni per l'impianto sono che sia un reattore di III gen di tipologia PWR. Alla scadenza delle domande di appalto fonti non ufficiali dicono che i reattori proposti sono l'AP1000 nippo-americano, il VVER1200 russo ed l'EPR francese. I colloqui inizieranno a maggio 2010 e le offerte saranno fatte in autunno e la decisione definitiva per il reattore scelto nel 2012. L'utility ceca prospetta di completare l'iter amministrativo in 7-8 anni e di avere le unità 3 e 4 di Temelín in 15 anni.
Teleriscaldamento
L'impianto supplisce al calore di teleriscaldamento ad una piccola cittadina a 5 km di distanza, sono al vaglio dei programmi di espansione verso České Budějovice

Melville Cooper: Character Cretin
Today is the birthday of George Melville Cooper (1896-1973). With his languorous manner, heavy-lidded eyes, thin, pursing lips, and slightly droll countenance Cooper was ideally cast as mocking aristocrats, snuff-sniffing Englishmen, and French dandies in historical costume epics.
A native of Birmingham England, his career launch at age 18 at Stratford-on-Avon was interrupted by service (and capture) in World War One. After the war he jumped back onto the stage with both feet, in plays like The Farmers Wife (1921–later filmed by Alfred Hitchcock), Shaw's Back to Methuselah (1924) and Journey's End (1929). When talkies hit, he made a number of films in England (notably The Private Life of Don Juan and The Scarlet Pimpernel, both 1934). In 1935 he moved to Hollywood, where he began to enjoy quite an excellent run of roles in top-flight pictures: The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), The Dawn Patrol (1938), Rebecca (1940), Pride and Prejudice (1940); and The Lady Eve (1941). A decade later he was still working but the pictures less prestigious: e.g. the Marx Brothers' Love Happy (1950) and Irwin Allen's The Story of Mankind (1957). As movie parts became scarcer he segued into television and back into stage work.
He is perhaps at his most memorable as the Sheriff of Nottingham in The Adventures of Robin Hood. He has some funny bits in the archery contest scene (he's seated to the right of Basil Rathbone):

BkiUd6PxK3xgpbERDj__ | langwayd History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Of all the Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, langwayd is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in the village of Langmead, in the county of Devon. This surname was used to refer to those individuals who lived at the lang-mead, which literally means the long meadow.
Early Origins of the langwayd family
The surname langwayd was first found in Devon, where the name dates back to at least the 14th century. [1] There are numerous different spellings of the surname.
Early History of the langwayd family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our langwayd research. Another 51 words (4 lines of text) covering the years 180 and 1808 are included under the topic Early langwayd History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
langwayd Spelling Variations
Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name langwayd has undergone many spelling variations, including Langmead, Langemead, Langmeed, Langmede, Langemede, Langmaid, Langmayd, Langmade, Longmead, Longmate and many more.
Early Notables of the langwayd family (pre 1700)
More information is included under the topic Early langwayd Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the langwayd family
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name langwayd were among those contributors: Robert Langmead, who settled at Pouch Cove in Newfoundland in 1841. William Langmayd was registered in Petty Harbour in 1708. Richard Langmeed sailed to St. John's, Newfoundland in 1841 and B.E. Langmade landed in San Francisco in 1852..

Trump supporters struggle to sideline 'birther' issue
By LAURIE KELLMANSeptember 19, 2016 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's most prominent supporters insisted Sunday that he's put the burden of "birtherism" behind him with his concession that President Barack Obama was born in the United States. But like their candidate, they tried to blame Hillary Clinton's campaign and rejected any notion that Trump's political identity is founded on five years of peddling the false rumor that Obama was born elsewhere.
"It's over," said Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
But saying Trump's admission of the error was behind him — as two sitting governors and several other Trump supporters did across the Sunday talks shows— doesn't necessarily make it true. The issue is nearly certain to come up during Trump and Clinton's first debate, Sept. 26.
The episode reflects Trump's penchant for spreading unsubstantiated claims when he stands to gain from them and his refusal to apologize or take responsibility when he's been wrong. That operating style did not stop the billionaire developer from vanquishing 16 Republican challengers and capturing the GOP nomination. But in a one-on-one battle with Clinton, it can add up to a character questions with three debates and mere weeks to go before the Nov. 8 elections.
Recent polls suggest Trump may have benefited in recent weeks by his own newfound discipline and Clinton's missteps. She called half of Trump's supporters "deplorables" — then apologized for saying "half" — only to fall ill with pneumonia and wobble during an abrupt exit from this year's 9/11 memorial ceremony. For hours, Clinton's campaign obfuscated about what was wrong with her. It was the worst stretch of her campaign, and during it, a newly confident Trump for the first time in several weeks began to veer off his written remarks.
After scripted well wishes for her recovery, he returned to questioning her stamina as she prepared to resume campaigning last week. "You think Hillary would be able to stand up here for an hour and do this?" he asked at a rally. "I don't think so."
And on Friday, he made his usual sarcastic call for Hillary Clinton's Secret Service agents to be stripped of their firearms, then added an aside to his rally remarks: "Let's see what happens to her."
An uproar ensued over what Clinton supporters said was Trump's newest suggestion of violence against her. On Sunday, Pence called that interpretation "absolute nonsense," adding on ABC that Trump was only suggesting Clinton has been protected by gun-toting security guards for decades. Pence said Trump's point was that "she'd change her attitude about the right to keep and bear arms" if she didn't have a security detail. In fact, Clinton has not challenged the constitutional right to bear arms, despite calling for some stronger gun control measures.
Clinton's campaign on Sunday largely let Trump's stands-ins on TV splash around in the morass of "birtherism" while it grappled with her critical challenge: winning young voters who don't trust her and whose support has waned in recent weeks. Running mate Tim Kaine argued there are five "litmus test" issues that show the former secretary of state, not Trump, stands with millennials. The issues, he said, are climate science, women's health, LGBT equality, immigration and college affordability.
But Trump's high-profile supporters weren't focused on issues. One by one, they argued Trump didn't start the birther fable, that he's the victim of a biased media and that people don't care about the birther issue, anyway.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who's heading up Trump's transition team and has long said Obama was born in the U.S., insisted on CNN that "the birther issue is a done issue."
He blamed a Clinton aide for saying that Clinton herself pushed questions about Obama's birthplace during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. But that aide, Clinton's 2008 campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, told CNN that a volunteer county coordinator in Iowa forwarded an email that promoted the debunked theory. She said she apologized to Obama's campaign chief, made clear "this is not coming from us" and Clinton dismissed the coordinator when she learned about the matter.
Meantime there's plenty of evidence that Trump, beginning in 2011, became the chief promoter of "birtherism" as he considered running for president in 2012.
Christie asserted Trump had not pushed the issue: "It wasn't like he was talking about it on a regular basis."
But in August 2012, in just one example of Trump bringing the subject up, he tweeted: "An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud."
As recently as January, Trump sounded skeptical on whether he now believed the president was a natural-born citizen eligible under the Constitution to be president.
"Who knows? Who cares right now? We're talking about something else, OK?" Trump said in a CNN interview. "I mean, I have my own theory on Obama." On Friday, he finally acknowledged: "President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period."

I'm trying to handle it like this
URL sourceURL;
sourceURL = new URL("censored.com/?plist");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sourceURL.openStream()));
But the app crashes. It doesn't crash when I comment out the line where he has to read the file, so I'm pretty sure that the problem lies here.
Normally I would call the xml-file like this: censored.com/?plist.xml, but this file has no file extension. When I go to the site and type censored.com/?plist.xml or censored.com?plist.plist I get redirected to their main page.
How do I handle this file now? I thought it would be possible to save the xml-file to the assets folder and work from there, but that doesn't seem to work. I would greatly appreciate it, if you could tell me how to read in that Plist/XML-File.
I'm working with XMLWise by the way.

BkiUbDQ5qsNCPeN2EWyh | Cazorla call-up is reward for a fine season, says stand-in Spain coach Moreno
Santi Cazorla's recall to the Spain squad is reward for his fine season with Villarreal, according to stand-in coach Robert Moreno.
The former Arsenal midfielder has rediscovered top form and fitness since returning to LaLiga, earning him a first international call in four years for Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands on June 7 and Sweden three days later.
Moreno, deputising with Luis Enrique absent for personal reasons, said in a press conference broadcast on the national team's Twitter feed: "(Cazorla) is here because of his performances, which have been very good since the beginning of the season.
Santi Cazorla is back in the Spain squad for the first time since 2015!
Favourite international comeback? 樂#EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/VTzk9BeaF9
— UEFA EURO 2020 (@UEFAEURO) May 17, 2019
"That makes us especially happy. Cazorla is exemplary, because he has had to go through something very hard for a player: injury."
Cazorla played only 23 league games across his final two seasons in north London due to a serious and recurring Achilles problem, which almost forced him to retire.
But he has bounced back this season, scoring seven goals in 45 appearances in all competitions and helping the Yellow Submarine to the Europa League quarter-finals.
Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal also returns for the first time since making his only senior international appearance as a substitute against Switzerland in 2016.
⚠ OFICIAL | ¡Ya tenemos la lista! Estos son los 23 convocados para los próximos partidos:

Oyarzabal, like Napoli's Fabian Ruiz, will join the under-21 team at the European Championship after the two qualifiers but Valencia forward Rodrigo and Real Madrid's Marco Asensio will not be available to the age-group team.
Isco returns after missing March's opening qualifiers against Norway and Malta as Real provide four players to Barcelona's three.
Moreno added: "Isco is a player who can make the difference. Luis Enrique said he is a very important player in the national team, but that depends on whether he plays or not.
Isco is back in the picture (Mike Egerton/PA)
"Under (Real boss Zinedine) Zidane he has played again and we are delighted that he is back with us."
Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga will compete for the goalkeeping jersey with Manchester United's David De Gea.
De Gea's recent form has been widely criticised but Moreno said: "If he's on the list, it's because he can be a starter.
"Criticism against a player of the national team does not please us but we do not follow the criticism, his actions are where the decisions are made."
Spain squad to face the Faroe Islands and Sweden: De Gea (Manchester United), Kepa (Chelsea), Pau Lopez (Real Betis); Ramos, Carvajal (both Real Madrid), Llorente (Real Sociedad), Hermoso (Espanyol), Gaya (Valencia), Inigo Martinez (Athletic Bilbao), Alba, Sergi Roberto (both Barcelona); Busquets (Barcelona), Navas (Sevilla), Cazorla (Villarreal), Parejo (Valencia), Rodri (Atletico Madrid), Fabian (Napoli); Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad), Isco, Asensio (both Real Madrid), Rodrigo (Valencia), Aspas (Celta Vigo), Morata (Atletico Madrid, on loan from Chelsea).

BkiUbUfxK5YsWOzBA-S8 | The Independent Socialist Party (1944) (Spanish: Partido Socialista Independiente, PSI) was founded in 1944 by Enrique Baldivieso, José Tamayo, Fernando Campero Álvarez and Augusto Guzmán, former leaders of the United Socialist Party.
With the coup d'état of 1943 and the coming to power of Major Gualberto Villarroel López, the United Socialist Party split, with a dissident group forming the Independent Socialist Party, which for some time cooperated with the Villarroel regime and with Congressional majority bloc.
With the overthrow of Villarroel, on 10 November, 1946, the Independent Socialist Party joined with the Genuine Republican Party, the United Socialist Party and the Republican Socialist Party to create the Republican Socialist Unity Party.

Having experienced board members sit next to new ones at meetings.
Listening to the CEO review the entire policy manual.
Use the book's 150-item Index Strategically: Ask new directors to read specific topics (e.g., micromanaging; outcome vs. impact data; responsibilities of the board) and relate the readings to their new board.
Select Key Chapters in the Book: Choices include topics such as Nonprofit Culture Presents Challenges or There's a Boundary Line That Shouldn't Be Crossed. Then later – in either formal or informal sessions – have the CEO and/or board panels discuss the topics with the new directors.
Give All New Directors a Copy of the Book: Ask them to skim or read the book's content, which encompasses 112 pages, and list topics of greatest interest. Then hold three or four informal on-boarding sessions, led by experienced directors that relate to the selected topics.
Going for Impact can also be utilized by creative boards and CEOs to develop retreat agendas that can help enhance their board's governance perspectives!

BkiUarPxK1UJ-rWoHdn5 | KOKOMO, Ind. — Making the transition from high school to college can be intimidating.
Incoming Indiana University Kokomo freshman Peyton Colvin feels prepared for the challenge ahead of her, after participating in the campus' summer Bridge program.
"I was anxious before this program, but now I have friends here and I will recognize familiar faces on campus," said Colvin, from Gas City.
About 100 first-year students participated in the program, spending two weeks touring the campus, finding class locations, meeting key faculty and staff, and taking self-assessments to identify potential careers for their individual skills and abilities. It also is a chance to create friendships and build support systems before fall semester begins.
In Colvin's section, led by faculty members Karla Stouse and Minda Douglas, the students took a field trip to the Indianapolis Musuem of Art, where they learned about art community-building opportunities. Other Bridge program participants worked in the campus garden, took a field trip to the Indiana State Museum, created podcasting projects, and painted and created donation boxes for the Humane Society as a service project.
Stouse and Douglas led the pilot program in 2014, with 24 students. Several of those students returned this summer to share their experiences with the 2015 participants. Based on the positive response from those students, the campus applied for and received a $134,000 grant from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to expand the Bridge program and include more students. Each student who participates in this free program receives one college credit.
Support for the students doesn't end after the two-week session. The students also may take a one-credit Bridge class during the fall semester, where they can take a free career assessment, have access to résumé tools, and gain assistance with budgeting their money.
Chelsi Day, director of the Office of Counseling and Psychological Services, also will talk with them about the challenges of student life, and resources available to help them balance college with busy schedules.

VA employees have the option to use Flexible Spending Accounts, which allow you to use tax-free dollars to pay for medical, dental, and vision care expenses that are not reimbursed by your health insurance plan
Term life insurance, family, and additional coverage options are available with the cost shared by the Federal Government.
Long-term care insurance is available as an option
Federal Retirement Plan:
VA employees are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan composed of 1) Social Security benefits; 2) FERS-FRAE basic benefits (pension); and 3) Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is a 401K-type plan
How is the pension funded? VA employees hired after January 1, 2014 automatically contribute 4.4% of their salary each pay period and the VA contributes 8.3% of the employee's salary each pay period for a total annual contribution percentage equal to 12.7% of the employee's salary
Similar to the 401(k) savings plans widely available in the private sector, the TSP allows employees to tax defer a portion of their income each year, subject to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. For calendar year 2016, employees under the age of 50 may contribute up to $18,000, while those over age 50 are eligible to make catch-up contributions that allow them to defer up to $24,000
The Federal Government also provides an automatic basic contribution (1% of salary) and up to 4% of salary in matching contributions, depending on the amount of the employee contribution
For retired military personnel, these benefits are in addition to full monthly retirement pay or pension
In addition to FERS, VA provides health care insurance coverage for retired personnel
Disability Retirement
Employees are vested in a federal pension after only 5 years of service

First created in 1993, the Kia Sportage is a compact SUV with an excellent reputation for safety. It was named one of the most reliable cars in a 2009 Consumer Reports survey and cited as one of the "20 least expensive 2009 vehicles to insure." The 3rd generation Sportage received a Top Safety Pick rating from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety which requires the roof of a vehicle to withstand three times the force of the vehicle's weight.
Like the Hyundai Tucson, which it is built off the same platform as the Sportages released from 2005 come installed with either a 2L inline-four (MT or AT) or 2.7L V6 (AT only) unleaded gasoline engine, that generates horsepower of 140 and 173 respectively, and torque of 136 and 178 respectively. The Sportage offers with fuel efficiencies ranging from 8.9km/l -10.6km/l.
On top of coming with a wealth of safety features like six airbags, three point seat belts, and ABS, the Kia Sportage has also been said to be especially of a bargain because of its Electronic Stability Program, Kia's electronic stability system which controls the direction of the car in low-traction situations and which comes standard with the vehicle.
For family safety, count on the Kia Sportage. Now in stock at attractive prices here at BE FORWARD! | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 |

Anderson Paak, Lapsley, Iggy Pop win SXSW's 2016 Grulke Prizes

California hip-hop act Anderson Paak & the Free Nationals, British electronica singer-songwriter Lapsley and proto-punk legend Iggy Pop are the 2016 recipients of the Grulke Prize, South by Southwest announced Wednesday.
The awards, determined by a jury of music industry attendees and SXSW staff, are designed to single out performers who had the highest impact during the six-day run of the music festival. Paak and Lapsley won for Developing U.S. and Non-U.S. Act, respectively. Pop was recognized as Career Act, given to "an established artist who appeared at SXSW to reinvent themselves or launch an important new project," the event's website states.
Paak seemed omnipresent during the festival, drawing acclaim for performances at high-profile venues including Stubb's, the Mohawk and a YouTube pop-up stage. Lapsley, whose debut album came out earlier this month, also performed at Stubb's as well as on the Radio Day Stage in the Convention Center. Pop premiered songs from his new "Post Pop Depression" album with Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme over two nights at ACL Live, one of them taped for an "Austin City Limits" episode.
The prizes, which have been handed out annually for the past four years, were instituted after the 2012 death of longtime SXSW creative director Brent Grulke. Previous winners were Leon Bridges, Courtney Barnett and Spoon (2015); Future Islands, the Strypes and Damon Albarn (2014); and Haim, Chvrches and Flaming Lips (2013).

SXSW 2016: Hip-hop 4 Flint event raises over $3,000 for water crisis
Away from the downtown core of South by Southwest Saturday afternoon, a roster of roughly 30 hip-hop, R&B and spoken word artists gathered to raise money for relief efforts for people affected by the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Local organizers coordinated with national activists to produce the event and over the course of six hours over 300 people attended.
The group well exceeded their fundraising goal of $2,000. On Sunday morning, local artist and social worker DaShade Moonbeam, who helped put the event together, said they raised over $3,000. The money will go toward the purchase of water filters that will be distributed to families by members of the national Hip-hop for Flint effort.

The scene on the ground Saturday radiated positive energy. The inside of the theater was packed to capacity and members of the audience, many of whom brought their children, stood along the walls or sat on the floor in front of the stage. The audience was attentive, warmly receiving the sounds of young emerging artists alongside their more experienced counterparts. Meanwhile, outside the theater graffiti artists painted a mural on the side of the theater building with the words Hip-hop 4 Flint blazed proudly in the middle.
Moonbeam said the turnout far exceeded his expectations.
"I kept hearing 'Why are these types of shows not done more frequently?!' and 'When is the next event?!'" he said Sunday. "I felt like we did the right thing in providing a family oriented four elements hip hop event."
UPDATE: This report has been updated to correct fundraising totals provided by the organizers.

You'll never guess who all joined The Roots for their SXSW jam
All you have to do to build a buzz is put "and special guests" on your bill. The South by Southwest party-goers will come a' runnin', just like they did for The Roots SXSW Jam Session on Saturday night at Brazos Hall.
The last-night-of-festing event that promised the "Tonight Show" house band — plus genre-smashing supergroup Big Grams and the aforementioned special guests — attracted a line hours before the 9 p.m. doors-open time, leaving many in the dust once the venue filled to capacity.

The evening kicked off a little after 10:30 p.m. with a jolly sousaphone leading The Roots into a cover of "Express Yourself." (Not the Madonna song.) And about those special guests: Rumors of Ashanti and Naughty By Nature started circulating on Twitter before the jam started, and a lineup that leaked on social media ultimately proved quite accurate.
This is happening at Brazos Hall tonight. The Roots, Big Grams, Too Short, @TalibKweli, Naughty By Nature… #SXSW pic.twitter.com/IBklWEhZZq

But the crowd at Brazos Hall, not all clued in to this, grew restless after a strong start from Black Thought, Questlove and co. gave way to a rotating showcase of somewhat obscure rising talent, with The Roots sitting in as a house band. X Ambassadors squeezed in "Renegade" and a Sam Cooke cover. Bronx rapper Tish Hyman served up major Lauryn Hill vibes and was the valedictorian of the jam's newbies. Soul singer Marc E. Bassy (performing like a room temperature Robin Thicke) eked out a cover of Radiohead's "High & Dry"; a sharp-dressed R&B singer named Emily King wisped when she should have wailed.
Then the big guns came out. Veteran emcee Too Short was first and drew comparisons between the longevity of his career and of SXSW itself. Comedian Hannibal Buress emerged to stall for time and to deflate event sponsor Bud Light. As expected and highly anticipated, Big Grams put on the most substantial part of the show. The collaboration between Outkast alum Big Boi and Phantogram's Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel injected much needed electricity into the room, with "Fell In the Sun" an obvious standout. Barthel and Big Boi's interplay, awkward as it was, charmed.

— Eric Webb (@webbeditor) March 20, 2016
The most rapturously received moments of the night were the few Outkast tunes that worked their way into the setlist, including a reworked "Ms. Jackson" performed by Big Grams. (Likewise, Phantogram tallied a couple solo joints, like "Fall In Love.")

The cameos were rapid-fire quick hits after that, which rankled a bit considering the talent show at the beginning of the night. Rappers Yo Gotti and Talib Kweli made brief appearances. R&B singer Ashanti came out for a very well-received, high energy medley that included a "What's Luv?" that came just as the night was dragging to the finish line. Naughty By Nature dropped "O.P.P." and "Hip Hop Hooray," which obviously reduced the entire audience to a bunch of hands in the air.

As it was in the beginning, so it was in the end. The Roots closed the night with a final jam that really just made one wish that there had been more Roots at the Roots jam. But if you're going to dedicate about 7 hours of your life from queue to quitting time on one party, seeing Phantogram and Naughty By Nature in one night without leaving the room is quite the feat to boast of. And in a SXSW lacking big star power — save Drizzy — this jam was certainly an explosive finish.

Sun Radio brings live broadcasts to El Mercado Backstage
Morning live-music broadcasts from downtown hotels with stations such as KUTX and KGSR have long been a big part of SXSW week. But a nice new addition the past two years has been Sun Radio's afternoon broadcasts from El Mercado Backstage.
A fundraising event for the Americana-oriented public station, the series began Tuesday and ran through Saturday, with a nice mix of hometown favorites who sometimes guest at the club's popular "Mystery Monday" series and out-of-town performers adding day gigs to their official SXSW showcase itineraries.

We caught locals Willy & Cody Braun of Reckless Kelly (with guest mandolinist Kym Warner) and the Malford Milligan-fronted new band Big Cat on Tuesday when we stopped by, plus sets by the duos Aaron Tasjan & Brian Wright and Teddy Thompson & Kelly Jones early Saturday afternoon. (See video above).
Others who stopped by the South First Street Mexican restaurant, which added its impressive Backstage room just before last year's SXSW, included Wynonna & the Big Noise, Aoife O'Donovan, Robbie Fulks, Jack INgram and Marcia Ball.

Dear SXSW-ers, don't disrespect the musicians
Vocalist and musician Noura Mint Seymali from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania performed at the Globalfest showcase at the Palm Door last night and she was magnificent. The clarity and power of her voice, soaring over mesmerizing desert rambles from her skilled band, is astounding. A solid crowd pressed forward to catch her show at the Palm Door around midnight.
For the most part everyone was thoroughly entranced, and she was given a wonderful reception. Then there was this dude.
No idea if he's even American, but this idiot made us all look bad at Noura Mint Seymali's magnificent #SXSW set. pic.twitter.com/kh5mxeMy1T
It seems like we shouldn't have to say this (we're all grown ups, right?), but apparently we do: Dear SXSW-ers, don't disrespect the musicians.
We get that South by Southwest is a magical experience that puts you up close and personal with amazing artists from around the world. It's easy to get swept up in the moment. If an artist invites you onstage to dance with them, you win. Get up there and be part of the action. But under no circumstances should you jump on stage and just start dancing. It doesn't matter if you're a sliding, gliding, silver-toed fool who dominates the dance floor. No one wants to see you. No one.
This is doubly true if the performing artist is a woman and you are a man. Do not invite yourself onstage to dance with her.
This is triply true if the performing artist is a woman from an Islamic country who gracefully adjusts her headscarf several times throughout her performance, indicating she values her modesty. No really, don't invite yourself onstage to dance with her.
Seymali's musicians looked mortified as a strange man jumped onstage, drink in hand, and gyrated like an idiot behind one of their country's most revered artists. Thankfully, the whole incident only lasted about 30 seconds before the man in question was escorted out.
That voice! Noura Mint Seymali from Mauritania at #SXSW pic.twitter.com/sBzRiOf9e8
But it left us feeling obligated to write this public service announcement. We love that SXSW brings so many amazing musicians around the world to our beautiful city. Let's all make them feel welcome. Cheer wildly at their shows and dance madly in the audience, but please, let's show them respect.

Late SXSW co-founder honored with "Louis Meyers Day"

The death on the first day of SXSW Interactive of co-founder Louis Meyers was felt throughout the full run of this year's event. On Friday, an official SXSW Memorial Reception drew a visit from Austin mayor Steve Adler, who officially proclaimed Friday as "Louis Meyers Day" in the City of Austin.
Musical tributes to Meyers had been held Monday at Strange Brew, following a burial service at Memorial Park Cemetery in north Austin, and Wednesday at Threadgill's for a day show that Meyers had helped put together.
Friday's event was especially significant for Meyers' out-of-town friends and acquaintances who were here for SXSW Music, longtime friend Mike Stewart noted. Especially notable was the presence of many international attendees with whom Meyers had worked during his years as SXSW music festival director from 1987 to 1994, and on subsequent events during his years living in Denmark and Amsterdam around the turn of the century.

Santigold is in charge at SXSW; don't you forget it
She can rap, she can boast, she can croon, she can chirp, she can groove in sync with her backup dancers and she can run a show with a metaphorical riding crop. She started krumping before her first song was half over Friday night, and she choreographs Busby Berkeley-style routines that employ dollar store shopping carts.
She's Santigold.
The Philly artist's South by Southwest set at Stubb's was plagued the entire time by a late start (thanks, rain) and sound problems (to which Crystal Castles might relate). But Santi White? Try to storm her winter palace. You won't be able to take it. (Speaking of the song "Go!" … more later.)
(Eric Webb/American-Statesman)
White was unflagging in her desire to correct the sound problems plaguing her, even leaving stage between songs to get to the bottom of it. Too much reverb, bad enough mix that she couldn't hear the track — still none of it stopped her from presiding over a party that crackled louder than the night's lightning.
Breakout hit "L.E.S. Artistes" made an early appearance, and it was obvious from the singer's furrowed brow and impeccable side-eye that she meant business, even as her backup dancers reenacted "Puttin' On the Ritz" using selfie sticks. "Big Boss Big Time Business" found White embodying swagger and machismo over an underworld groove. And just as easily as she squared her shoulders on that number, she asserted her taunting, flirtatious dominance in swirly, syrupy, dangerous coos on "Who Be Lovin' Me."
By the time "Disparate Youth" came up on the setlist, White has made it clear that she was in control of the mayhem; an ensuing dance party and stage flooded with fest-goers were chaotic, but the singer was still the one pulling the strings.
"I'll stop you when it's too many," White said as she commanded people to come up on stage. "Come on up. Bring 'em up."

Newer track "Banshee," which might be Santigold's best song ever, was the kinetic highlight of the night, with the chorus' "I'm having a good time" as an effective thesis. (See also: the line "Let me keep on preaching to my choir." It is inconceivable that anyone would even dare try.) Coda "Can't Get Enough Of Myself," on second thought, probably better deserves that designation on title alone.
But if you're looking for symbols in a pop concert, that mid-set rendition of "Go!" served the perfect blend of art, pop and an iron fist. For a song that says "People want my power/And they want my station," it's hard to get more literal than Santigold plucking a tiara off an audience member, donning it for a few seconds and the flinging it well past its starting point.

What happened with Crystal Castles' disastrous SXSW set?
Friday was a bad night to be a Crystal Castles fan. First, a scary bout of lightning in downtown Austin pushed the South by Southwest set times at Stubb's later than planned. Then the Canadian electronic act, originally slated to hit the stage at 10 p.m., didn't go on until well after 11 p.m. Once Ethan Kath, joined by new singer Edith Frances in a beret and overcoat, did begin the set, the skittering sonic clash only lasted about 10-15 minutes.
The band left the stage abruptly. What a waste of the white LED bracelets handed out in front of the venue.
While the "Not In Love" group was actually on the stage — which looked like a dragon, such was the smoke vomiting into the amphitheater — their performance was loud, post-verbal, loud, nightmarish, loud, tinny and cacophonous. Which, truth be told, is pretty on-brand. But fans at Stubb's were confused and audibly upset by the premature denouement.

That could check out. Santigold, who performed more than an hour later after Charli XCX and Sophie, spent her entire set pressing the production crew to correct her own sound difficulties.
Regardless of reason, a two or three song set was probably not part of Crystal Castles' plan for the evening.

Friday night's fiasco was not the band's only SXSW dust-up this year. Crystal Castles was removed from a Tumblr showcase highlighting feminist issues after comments made by Kath in the past about the band's ex-singer Alice Glass resurfaced online.

SXSW: Into It. Over It. weathers storm of growing up and also actual storm
Into It. Over It. plays Friday at the Mohawk during South by Southwest. Photo by Eric Webb
As Into It. Over It. did sound check at Mohawk for a SXSW showcase Friday night and a storm roiled above, a few brave souls hugged the lip of the stage under a short awning hanging over. Everyone else hid from the rain underneath the tent on the balcony or by the covered bar. It looked like the Red Sea, with a no man's land of a floor as a dry gulf.
But then the rain stopped, and Evan Weiss opened that black hole from which many emo proverbs have emerged — his mouth. The venue space filled and became intimate. The band released new LP "Standards" this month, showing a remarkable musical growth characteristic of the whole "pop punk renaissance" that's emerged as Warped Tour kids have grown up and gotten mortgages. The heart-pangs are still there; everything just sounds a little more sober. New song "No EQ," with its talk of aging brains not focusing quite the same, showed Weiss hasn't lost his big, emotional core.
At times, post-rock luxury scored the drizzle. Guitarist Josh Parks took a violin bow to his strings, an elegant touch. And say what you will about the maturity of bands that can appear on the cover of Alternative Press any given month. Into It. Over It. is an athletic band that works up a sweat, dropping their bodies into the beats.
The relatively classic "Upstate Blues" worked the wet crowd into a frenzy like no other song. The words "I think you've had enough to handle/And I can see it in your smile" were a familiar rallying cry. But as Weiss said, many of the songs performed were being played for maybe the second time ever in front of people. It's a testament to resonant bedroom journal lyrics and chords that keep you 17 in your head that the stand-bys and new cuts wrapped everyone up with the same sense of wistfulness.

SXSW: Israeli sister act A-Wa finds new meaning in Yemeni folk songs
On Thursday March 16, sisters Tair, Liron and Tagel Haim of the Israeli group, A-WA, thrilled a capacity crowd at their SXSW 2016 showcase at Flamingo Cantina. The band was in town as part of their first North American tour. (Reshma Kirpalani / American-Statesman)
With exuberant energy and tightly woven Yemenite harmonies laid over reggae-tinged electro grooves, A-Wa, a sister act from Israel thrilled a capacity crowd at Flamingo Cantina on Thursday night. The band, who dropped their debut EP, produced by Tomer Yosef of Balkan Beat Box, was in town as part of their first North American tour.
The sisters, Tair, Liron and Tagel Haim grew up in a musical family in Shaharut, a mountaintop village in the middle of the deserts of southern Israel. Their paternal grandparents emigrated to the country from Yemen in 1949, the year after Israel was established. In Shaharut, they began singing together as children. "We would sing to the people in our village, gather around all the kids and come up with shows," Tair Haim said on Friday morning.
Soon they were singing in school talent shows and then went to university to study music. Over the past few years, the sisters, now ages 27-33, began to rediscover the Yemeni folk songs they sang as children. "It's an oral tradition," Tagel Haim said, "each woman passed it down to her daughter and this is how these songs got to us."
The sisters feel the messages in the songs, which are mostly about love and loss are still relevant today. The lyrics from "Habib Galbi," the lead single from the EP, roughly translate to "Love of my heart, my eyes, who turned you against me? I wish him to eat with no taste."
"It's like their sense of humor," Liron Haim said. "It's like a very gentle curse, 'I want you to eat, but not enjoy it.'" Though the subject matter is sad, the song is still very upbeat and danceable. The same is true of most of A-Wa's work and they love the way their music bridges cultural barriers.
"There's also a message that we can overcome and any problem by just singing and enjoying together, dancing freely and carelessly," Liron said. "We love the comments that we get from people that they don't really understand the lyrics, but they feel something. It moves them and that's a great thing."

BkiUbjs4eILhQAtyZXMv | While I can't say for sure whether it's system ability or previous employers' onerous limitations, there's a lot to like about this system. It allows bulk-updating, modifications seem to be easy for IT to implement and remove, and it plays nicely with Crystal Reports for more formal reporting or data-mining needs. Some modifications can also help with this. For example, my company has created a new screen where we can see orders that are entered at an unusually low or high price, to catch errors on order entry before orders go out. Some of the security is good too. We can restrict user ability to do things on certain pages, but can't restrict their ability to see the pages themselves.
I allude to this in the best of comments, it really needs to play nicely with Crystal because there's not really a good way to datamine inside the system. You either need to use Crystal or Access to query out data, even simple things like previous pricing. You also need to know address codes for different screens, as the menus aren't great at sussing out what you want. Some of the security is good too. We can restrict user ability to do things on certain pages, but can't restrict their ability to see the pages themselves.
Find a good developer who also uses SX in their work, who can help with modifications so that the system can do exactly what you need.
We use SX for our entire ERP system, aside from CRM. Order taking, pricing, invoicing, accounting/books, inventory, purchasing, shipping are all handled within SX.
"Gets the job done but lacking in integration and user interface."
I like all of the features of SX enterprise. This application truly can perform all of the tasks one could need from an ERP.
The application still runs on outdated database models and if you have ANYTHING you want to change or get out of the system that is not already there you will end up paying through the nose to get it.
Though the learning curve for this application is steep, once you have the essential business flow down SX does provide all of the tools you need.
"SX.e has great content management"
I like how all services are integrated into this product which makes it excel for the customer service department.
Old styled layout with many bugs and minimal updates. Seem's a bit outdated.
Supply chain related to the shipping department, and cross functionality between different departments to solve all aspects.
"SX Enterprise ERP Does Everything"
I like how all the parts (AP, AR, Order Entry, Inventory, etc...) are all tied together in one system and on top of that the system is very focused on the GL side of things, this pleases our CFO very much.
I dislike how hard it is to upgrade to a new version. Technical support is also very lacking at Infor.
We have much better accountability of our inventory and better inventory turns.
"helps with keeping supplies ordered."
Not having to go through the task of constantly reordering by scrolling through websites or catalogs.
Sometimes auto corrects certain products and we don't notice until product is delivered.
Give it a try and see if it helps to improve your business.
Not having to worry about human error and spending an excess of time doing the ordering.
I like that it contains virtually all of the tools necessary to run a business from reporting to inventory management.
It can be a bit cumbersome to navigate until youve spent a good deal of time in the system.
It's given us an incredible amount of flexibility when it comes to synergy and leveraging our company's assets.
Lots of customization options which can be a good and bad thing.
Number one thing I am fighting now is API calls to Cimm2.
It certainly gives us lots of reporting options which we did not have before with our old system.
"Not a reliable system for inventory control"
it's fairly user friendly for moving through the software from module to module.
search function is not user friendly. There are multiple screens and an overwhelming amount of material that pops up when you are doing a search.
We use it for purchasing and warehouse distribution. It can be customized.
"A lot of steps for simple things "

How to Plant and Grow a Sequoia Seedling
By Cathryn Chaney
Long-lived coastal redwoods are the world's tallest trees.
Image Credit: Stephen Goodwin/iStock/Getty Images
Sequoia (Sequoia sempervirens) seedlings may be available as 1- to 2-gallon size nursery plants, or you can grow your own from seed. For such a large tree, reaching heights to 360 feet tall and 65 feet wide in nature, sequoia has small, light seeds. Although only around 15 percent of sequoia seeds are viable, sound seed germinates well. Sequoia, also called redwood or coast redwood, is suitable as a screen, street tree or specimen, and grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 through 9. Planting and growing instructions for giant redwood (Sequoia gigantea) which grows in USDA zones 5 through 8, are similar.
Germinating Seeds
Plant the seeds soon after they're harvested. The seeds don't need pretreatment to germinate. Sow them 1 inch apart in 3-inch-deep, clean nursery flats with drainage holes in the bottom. Fill the flats with a mixture of equal parts peat moss and perlite. Cover the seeds with about 1/4 inch of potting mix, tamp it gently and water thoroughly. Place the flat in bright indirect light or partial shade and keep the potting mix moist but not soggy.
Transplanting Seedlings
After germination, continue to keep the potting mix moist because sequoia seedlings don't have root hairs and are vulnerable to drying out. Allow the seedlings to grow large enough to handle. Remove them from the seedling flat and transplant them into a 6-inch, clean pot that has drainage holes. Use a commercial soilless potting mix. Water the pot until water comes through the drainage holes. Continue the sequoia seedlings watering regularly. After about a month, gradually expose the seedlings to more sun each day until they are used to full sun. It should take about two weeks to complete this.
Soil and Spacing
A sequoia prefers rich, moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter and doesn't tolerate dry soil. A sequoia grow best in areas with cool summers and mild winters. With good conditions, sequoias grow quickly, often growing 3 to 5 feet in a year. Space the seedlings according to how you'll use them in your yard. For specimen trees, space them about 30 feet apart because they'll only grow 60 to 100 feet tall and 15 to 25 feet wide in a yard. If you're using them as a hedge or screen, space them more closely, 6 to 10 feet apart, depending on how quickly you want them to fill in. Plant sequoias in full sun.
Planting Depth and Hole Size
When your seedling has filled out the 6-inch pot with roots going through the entire potting mix, plant it in the ground. In mild winter climates, January is a favorable planting time. Otherwise, plant in spring after danger of frost has passed. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball size. Tap the seedling out of the pot, taking care to disturb the root ball as little as possible. Place the seedling in the planting hole so the top of its soil is level with the soil of the planting site. Build a berm to make a watering basin. Take soil from another garden area and make a raised ridge about 2 feet wide with the tree in the center. Water the tree thoroughly.
Water and Fertilizer
Throughout the life of the sequoia, water the tree regularly. Apply enough water to carry past the root zone. Use a soil probe to assess the moisture condition of the soil, if necessary. Sequoias have shallow root systems, usually only in the top 3 to 4 feet of soil, so they are vulnerable to drying out. In large trees, the roots can spread to more than 100 feet away, so extend the watering basin beyond the drip line of the tree as it grows. Apply a 6-inch-deep layer of organic mulch, such as straw or grass clippings, over the entire root zone of the tree, keeping it away from the tree trunk. Apply a fertilizer, such as controlled-release 15-9-12, once a year in January at the rate of 1 1/3 pounds per 100 square feet. Spread the fertilizer then water it in well. Cover young trees when frost is predicted.

Energy-efficient indoor and outdoor lighting design focuses on ways to improve both the quality and efficiency of lighting. If you're constructing a new house, consider lighting as part of your whole-house design -- an approach for building an energy-efficient home.
When designing indoor lighting for energy efficiency, consider some basic design principles and methods.
Maximize the use of daylighting.
Consider installing fluorescent or LED fixtures, rather than using fluorescent or LED replacement lamps in incandescent fixtures.
Use occupancy sensors for automatically turning on and off your lights as needed.
If you are using recessed lights in a ceiling with an unconditioned space above it, use only Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved fixtures that are airtight, are IC (insulation contact) rated, and meet ASTM E283 requirements.
When designing outdoor lighting, consider the purpose of the lighting along with basic methods for achieving energy efficiency.
Utility: Illuminate the porch and driveway to help people navigate safely to and from the house.
Use LED or fluorescent lights unless incandescent lights are automatically controlled to be on for just a few minutes each day.
Consider flood lights with combined photosensors and motion sensors in the place of other security lighting options.
Make sure outdoor light fixtures have reflectors, deflectors, or covers to make more efficient use of the light source and help reduce light pollution.
Use outdoor solar lighting where applicable. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUaobxK2li-DeXxxBg | Q: create XML file with variables for drop down box I created an XML file and can successfully use that information to create a drop down list. What I would like to achieve is to add variables from a stringResource file to create the values for the drop down list.
my original XML file is:
<root>
<row>
<var name="--Select--"/>
</row>
<row>
<var name="Agriculture"/>
</row>
<row>
<var name="Airline"/>
</row>
<root>
in trying to add variables I have tried the following:
<PackageTransform>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:aspdnsf="urn:aspdnsf" exclude-result-prefixes="aspdnsf">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:param name="pReplacement" select="'Something Different'"/>
<root>
<row>
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StringResource('industry.cs.1')"/>
</row>
<row>
Air
</row>
<row>
<xsl:value-of select="$pReplacement" />
</row>
</root>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
my working code, with the original XML file is:
XmlNodeList industrylist = XmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("row");
foreach (XmlNode Node in industrylist)
{
string industry = Node["var"].Attributes["name"].Value;
_cboIndustryType.Items.Add(new ListItem(industry));
}
With the top XML file my drop down list correctly lists all the names:
*
*--Select--
*Agriculture
*Airline
I could not set the attribute name as a variable so I changed the code to look for the node innerXML like so:
XmlNodeList industrylist = XmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("row");
foreach (XmlNode Node in industrylist)
{
string industry = Node.InnerXml;
_cboIndustryType.Items.Add(new ListItem(industry));
}
but after many attempts such as the second XML file I am not able to get the variable to display correctly. I am seeing the following list:
*
*<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StringResource('industry.cs.1')" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>
*Air
*<xsl:value-of select="$pReplacement" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>
I would sure appreciate it if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks in advance!
A: I figured out a way to do what I want.
I just wrote 2 different XML files, one in each language then changed the code to pick the appropriate one based on locale.
if (Customer.Current.LocaleSetting.Contains("es"))
XmlDoc.Load(CommonLogic.SafeMapPath("~/XmlPackages") + "\\industry.drop.down.list.es-MX.xml.config");
else
XmlDoc.Load(CommonLogic.SafeMapPath("~/XmlPackages") + "\\industry.drop.down.list.xml.config");
XmlNodeList industrylist = XmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("row");
foreach (XmlNode Node in industrylist)
{
string industry = Node.InnerXml;
_cboIndustryType.Items.Add(new ListItem(industry));
}
Thanks!

BkiUbVU4c3aisBY82-e6 | Spring Weekend '94 Events Help Charity
By Amy I. Hsu
Although MIT's annual Spring Weekend is geared toward entertainment and relaxation, it also benefits several charities, including one founded by MIT students.
Spring Weekend '94 began last night with Mr. Spring Weekend, sponsored by the Women's Independent Living Group. Five contestants competed in the categories of original dress, talent, question-and-answer, and persuasiveness in soliciting money from the audience. This year's winner, David C. Cho '94, chose the AIDS Action Committee as his charity, "inspired by Jacob White, because he didn't win Big Screw, and I'm taking 6.003."
Today, the International Fair will feature many different booths selling ethnic foods and presenting international dances and songs. The fair, sponsored by the International Students Association, is located in front of the Student Center.
Tonight, Alpha Tau Omega, the Interfraternity Council, and the Undergraduate Association are holding Las Vegas Night. Money raised from ticket sales will go to Childhelp USA, a charity organization that fights child abuse, according to Michael H. Joo '95.
At the same time, the UA Social Council's Karoke Pub Night will feature a 10-foot video screen and video disc jockeys. "It's kind of like a Strat's Rat, except the students are the entertainers," said UA Social Chair Rahul A. Saha '94.
Tomorrow, Sigma Chi will host the Spring Intercollegiate Greek Shootout, a basketball tournament between members of fraternities and sororities of MIT, Tufts University, Boston University, and Northeastern University. Proceeds will benefit the Genesis Fund, a charity that helps children with birth defects.
Alpha Phi's "Alpha Phlea Market" will raise money for the American Heart Foundation. Participants will perform short acts on the Student Center steps, then auction services such as free tutoring, chauffeuring, or laundry service, to the audience members.
East Campus's spring picnic tomorrow afternoon will feature several bands: Famous People, the Herman Johnson Quintet, and Good Rain. The food and music are scheduled to last until 9 p.m. this year, since "[the picnic] was going pretty strongly up till 8:30 last year," said Daniel D. Hurda '95, East Campus social chair.
As the day draws to a close, Sigma Iota Phi will host "A Night at the Improv" at Lobdell, featuring MIT's improvisational comedy group Roadkill Buffet, as well as groups from Wellesley, Tufts, Bowdoin, Brandeis, and Emerson.
At the same time, the Student Center Committee will hold its annual spring concert in Johnson Athletic Center, featuring Belly with Cold Water Flat.
Spring Weekend '94 ends with the "Sundae Sunday" bash in Kresge Oval, hosted by the class councils.
Weekend benefits Project America
Funds raised at Las Vegas Night will benefit Project America, a non-profit organization founded in 1991 by Danielle C. Goodman '95, Joo, Jorey E. Ramer '95, and three students at University of Pennsylvania.
Project America began as an effort to coordinate a national community improvement day, Joo said. It is now sponsored by over 200 national organizations and corporations and several U.S. Senators and mayors. "We wanted the casino night to be the kickoff for Project America, to raise funds and awareness, starting here, since it was founded by MIT students," Joo said.
In May, Project America will start a major media campaign to "spread the word, city by city," Joo said. Advertising companies have donated money for Project America advertisements in Time and Newsweek magazines, and Project America's founders hope to begin an annual nationwide community service day scheduled for Oct. 15, 1994.
The UA donated the $4,000 necessary for the Casino Night equipment, and over $5,000 in prizes, donated by local retailers, will be raffled there. Prizes include a futon, gift certificates from record stores and restaurants, two Stanley Kaplan test review courses, 1,000 Club Europa tickets, and a weekend at the Marriott Hotels, Resorts, and Suites. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUeRo4dbghe2kmZPaA | We have to understand that if there is one thing for certain in this world it is that energy is never lost it only changes form. And so with the people we once loved and cherished in this physical realm of existence, their energy is not lost, they have only changed form.
They too will still exist just we may not see them the way we once had. Their attachments to the physical world no longer exist or are needed and they merely retain their life on a different frequency than ours. Imagine you are listening to the radio and you listen to the same channel all the time until one day you decided to change that channel. Well the old radio frequency still exists you just decided to change channels. The same with the dead, they still exist and we can still speak to them just not the way we were accustomed to before.
They may come to us in dreams or thoughts and that is their confirmation to us that they still exist. So do not excuse these moments as they are true and are very real. These moments are when the dead fight hard to let us know their new lives have begun but we are not forgotten.
We may grieve of the physical loss and acceptance of their passing like a long lost friend moving to another state, but know that when you miss them you can reach out and they will hear you and they will listen. If you need help reaching your loved ones that have passed and want more information than what you have received on your own then consider consulting with a Psychic Medium to help facilitate the communication. You can ask questions, get their thoughts about life transitions, and have them acknowledge events they were present at after their passing. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUeqbxK4sA-9zSB5kA | Hope all is well with you and your staff. Things here in Florida are fine. This note is to inform you, and especially your patients of the "interest free" one year pay off that you have available to them.
I used it, just paid off the balance within the one year time period and paid no interest. It was interest free! I was very happy with this and certainly want to thank you so much.
I will be coming to Phoenix for three weeks. Hopefully, you can squeeze me in for a cleaning etc.
I am coming there to get engaged! Can you believe?
It must have been my new smile. Thanks to you. Can't tell you how many compliments I receive about my teeth, especially now when people are more aware of their smile. Will see you soon.
I look forward to many years of great smiles now that the cosmetic treatment on my teeth has been completed. In addition to enhancing the appearance of my teeth, the work has made an improvement in my bite. The reconstruction of the front lower teeth has relieved some bite trauma that I have had for years. I just wish that the technique and the bonding materials had been available many years ago.
Thank you for everything from beginning to end. Thank you for allowing me to want to smile and laugh again without being ashamed to show my teeth. I wore braces for four years, spent endless money on dental appliances, crowns and bridges. Had I know about you and what you can do for patients, I could have saved myself years of trying and tons of money and I would have learned to smile a long time ago.
I not only speak for myself, but for probably all of your patients when I say, "Thank You" to you and your awesome staff for giving us more reasons to want to smile.
I LOVE my new bite! You did an excellent "craftsman" job. It feels so much more roomy when I bite down, and the pressure on my back teeth also has some relief. Thanks again to you and your staff for making the experience so doable for such a nerve wracked patient. The fact that I can even consider doing these types of procedures to correct problems and achieve goals I thought were long past my ability to accomplish.
Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful job you did on my teeth! They look and feel great! I especially appreciate the extra time you took to get them just right.
I will never be able to express in words how grateful I am for the beautiful work you did to fix what Mother Nature so painfully botched. I love my new smile; something I never thought I would be able to say! And because words cannot begin to cover it, I've decided that the best tribute I could possible give to you is to smile at the world. (I even gave a big toothy smile to the folks at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, and smiled for my driver's license.) You've done wonders for my self-confidence and I'll never forget your kindness, generosity and skill. You are a master at your craft!
Continue to keep Glendale smiling it makes the world a better place!
I made it back to Afghanistan safely and back to work. The weather has turned cold and the surrounding mountains got their first snow a couple of nights ago.
My teeth are doing great and I don't waste any chances to share a smile anymore. I wanted to say thank you and extend my gratitude for the warmth and friendliness felt within your office. I think you are all professional and very positive. I will definitely stop in next time I am home and, hopefully, I won't need any work this time, except a cleaning. Doc, I hope you get some more golf time in... you work too hard!!
Thank you for taking such great care of me and improving my smile. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdZnxaKPQotSMw9r3 | Online money transfer services have revolutionised how to wire money from overseas to loved ones. Bank transfers and money transfer operators were the preferred methods of sending international remittances for a long time. However, the speed and charges associated with sending money to Africa and the Middle East were not particularly favourable, not to mention the exchange rates that factor in every transaction.
Whether you are paying a contractor for renovations back home, clearing your sibling's school fees or sending money for the holidays, smart apps offer the cheapest way to send money. The services vary from one provider to another, and some applications are more suitable than others.
The various web services that are available for overseas workers slash the time it takes for money to reach its destination. These apps offer convenience on multiple levels. With a mobile app, you can send money from anywhere and at any time, meaning you don't have to take a break from work so that your loved ones can receive their tuition money in time.
The process of how to wire money has become simpler over the years when using online apps. Customers don't need to spend a lot of time learning how to initiate transactions on the platforms. The apps offer more than one option of funding accounts such as credit/debit cards, bank accounts or mobile wallets.
The reduced costs associated with online money transfer services have fueled the growth of mobile apps. In instances where the recipient doesn't have to use bank accounts, the service eliminates the various charges that accompany bank transactions like withdrawal fees or travelling to the bank.
As you research how to wire money from overseas to Africa and the Middle East, the sheer number of options out there will be overwhelming. The demand for effective currency transfer platforms has increased, and so have the providers. So, how can expats or immigrant workers find the most suitable option of how to wire money?
The first step is to narrow down your choices to the platforms that send money to a specific country. A mobile app may offer the best rates and secure connections but not be accessible in the region where you are sending money. A service that allows banks transfers is a safe bet because it means that you can send money to any account.
Authorisation and regulation by a recognised financial body are fundamental when picking how to wire money to the Middle East and Africa. Most providers operating in Europe will have FCA approval. However, registration with a central bank is sufficient. Always verify licenses by checking the registration number of the transfer service.
Information security is paramount when using an online application. As you send cash to your children or parents across the globe, you want assurances that your data will not be misused. Check the security measures provided by a transfer service before signing up.
The fees charged by a mobile app for international remittances will also determine if it is the best one for you. Typically, fees will include a standing charge and commission, which is usually a percentage. The exact amount will vary from one provider to the next. Compare at least three platforms to see what they offer. Consider deals like fee-free first transactions and 'refer a friend' discounts.
A money transfer app that uses the latest technology to improve transactions. WorldRemit covers 140 countries including Angola, Kenya and Ethiopia in Africa, and Armenia, Bahrain and UAE in the Middle East. The platform has a simple user interface, which is one reason it is a top choice when looking for how to wire money online.
a) Cash pickup – the service has pickup locations in different areas where recipients can go to get their money. The recipient will have to present identification and the transaction reference number to receive the money. Note that not every location where WorldRemit operates will have a cash pickup point, so confirm first before sending money.
b) Bank deposit – you send money directly to the recipient's bank account, and then an alert is sent via email or text.
c) Mobile money – with this option of how to wire money, you send cash to the recipient's mobile wallet using their phone number as the account.
d) Airtime top-up – WorldRemit lets you recharge airtime for loved ones in a matter of minutes.
Always check which of the four services are available in your country. Senders in over 50 countries can access WorldRemit.
The sign-up process for how to wire money is simple. Senders are required to set their country from which they are sending money during the sign-up process and their mobile phone number.
Licensing and regulations are critical considerations when picking the best smart apps to send money instantly online. WordRemit is regulated and Authorised by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority). It has PCI compliance in line with the security standards council, which makes it a trusted online service provider.

Customers can sign in to their Transferwise accounts through Google, Facebook or email. Such convenience saves you from having to remember your account password every time you want to send money.

Transferwise has recently made it possible to fund accounts using Apple Pay, which simplifies how to wire money from your bank account or credit card. The smart money app can only send money to local bank accounts, so ensure that your recipients know that. Transferwise is a bank account to bank account service, no cash or cheques.
Because Transferwise sends to bank accounts, it operates during regular banking hours. Therefore, consider this when deciding how to wire money to loved ones.

BkiUbaE5qdmB63dEzLkG | Three things we learned Thursday at the World Cup
Messi's Argentina staring at World Cup exit...
Iceland will feel the heat in Volgograd,...
Added 22nd June 2018 07:43 AM
Denmark remain in pole position to join France in qualifying from Group C as they drew 1-1 with Australia.
Argentina are facing a humiliating first round exit after a 3-0 mauling by Croatia which leaves Lionel Messi's dream of finally lifting a major title in jeopardy.
Inspired by midfield masterclasses from Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic, Croatia joined France in sealing their place in the last 16 on Thursday after Les Bleus saw off a spirited Peru 1-0.
Denmark remain in pole position to join France in qualifying from Group C as they drew 1-1 with Australia despite conceding another penalty thanks to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system.
Here AFP Sports looks at three things we learned today at the World Cup.
Modric upstages Messi
Rivals at club level, Argentina and Croatia's captains faced off in Nizhny Novgorod, but it is Modric, not Messi, who was on the scoresheet to send his side into the last 16.
Unlike Argentina's draw with World Cup debutants Iceland where Messi missed a penalty and was consistently at the heart of the action, the five-time World Player of the Year was a peripheral figure as Croatia's midfield, marshalled by Modric and Messi's Barcelona team-mate Rakitic controlled the game.
Modric's coup de grace sealed Croatia's qualification with a stunning long range effort for his side's second goal before Rakitic rubbed salt in Argentine wounds in stoppage time.
Argentina now need to beat Nigeria in their final group game and hope other results go their way to prevent a humiliating early exit.
Penalty points for VAR
VAR system continues to divide opinion in Russia with the number of penalties awarded its biggest impact so far.
Mile Jedinak's spot-kick to earn Australia a point against Denmark was already the 11th in the first week of the tournament with the current record for a World Cup of 18 looking set to be smashed.
Denmark have suffered more than most from the introduction of technology, conceding a penalty in both their games so far after the referee had originally waved away protests.
"After today I don't like the system," said Denmark's goalscorer Christian Eriksen. "Two in a row? That is bitter!"
France find better balance
Much-criticised for a laboured performance despite getting off to a winning start against Australia, France coach Didier Deschamps resorted to his tried and tested system from reaching the final of Euro 2016 on home soil.
Younger talents Ousmane Dembele and Corentin Tolisso were sacrificed for the experience of Olivier Giroud and Blaise Matuidi.
Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe thrived playing off a physical focal point in Giroud for the first 45 minutes and Mbappe became France's youngest ever goalscorer at a World Cup with a tap-in after Giroud's initial effort had been saved.
There still seems more to come from such a talented French squad, but unlike many of the other pre-tournament favourites, they can already look forward to the last 16.

A: Testing if compilation worked and skipping compiling the C extensions if it didn't, was removed from ruamel.yaml when it was no longer dependent on libyaml being available.
That of course doens't mean that the C compiler is available, so this should be considered a regression. In ruamel.yaml>=0.15.41 this should be fixed.

BkiUffPxK6wB9k0iNuiM | Home Ancient Aliens Ancestors Of African 'Dogon Tribe' Were Visited By Ancient Aliens From Sirus...
There is a small state in the heart of northwest Africa called Mali. It has one of the oldest and most interesting ancient cultures. The descendants of this culture are known as the Dogon. They have religious traditions, ritual dances, heavy ritual masks, wooden sculptures, and distinctive architecture. But it is not for this that the Dogon received the greatest fame. The most incredible thing about the people is that the Dogon know very specific cosmic facts.
Oldest Library That Hides Knowledge Of Ancient Civilization Discovered, But Nobody Knows Its Exact Location
Dogon people are renowned for their knowledge about the Sirius Star system which dates back to 3200 BC, long before scientists discovered it in 1862
The traditional mythology of the Dogon is amazing. Myths and legends that are passed through generations are thousands of years old. Perhaps their origins go back to those distant times when even the tribe itself did not exist yet.
For the Dogon, the sky and everything connected with it is of great importance. Dogon myths say that the sky was created by God Amma (also called Amen). He also created the first living beings on Earth. They are known as "Nommo." These very first inhabitants of our planet were ethereal spirits. However, they are sometimes described as amphibians, hermaphrodite, fish-like creatures. They are often referred to as water masters, observers, and even teachers. The Dogon claim that the Amma created these creatures in the distant past.
Professor Marcel Griaule
Between 1931 and 1956, French anthropologists Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen studied the Dogon tribe. At the end of 1946, Griaule spoke for 33 days in a row with a Dogon named Ogotemelli. He was the elder of the tribe. And it is he who is considered to be the source of information for most of the future publications about this interesting tribe. As a result, Griaule wrote almost 3,000 pages about the beliefs of the ancient Dogon tribe.
In his works, he described in detail the Dogon's knowledge of plants and cosmogony. It is assumed that the Dogon revealed a number of their secrets to Griaule and Dieterlen. The Dogon explained to scientists that the Nommo were ancient astronauts who came to Earth from the Sirius star system 8.6 light-years away.

And these aliens gave the Dogon all their astronomical knowledge. Since the Nommo were amphibious creatures, they really needed water. And when they arrived on Earth, they lived in a special pool created for them. Otherwise, they would not have survived. The Dogon also told the researchers that the aliens, in fact, hail from the Sirius star system. This star is called Sirius B (Po-Tolo). But it cannot be seen with the naked eye. So, where did the Dogon get such knowledge?
Dogon tribe
Sirius B was discovered by German astronomer Friedrich Bessel in 1844. Once, he suggested that Sirius has an invisible satellite. The scientist made such a conclusion after discovering an anomaly in the motion of the star. And American astronomer Alvan Graham Clark was the first to see Sirius B through a telescope. It happened on January 31, 1862. However, it turns out that the ancient Dogon had known about the existence of Sirius B even before modern astronomers were able to see it through their telescopes.
Dogon's knowledge of astronomy
Therefore, a very obvious question arises: how did the Dogon get this specific knowledge? Were they really given them by the Heavenly Gods? Or is there some other explanation? Ancient astronaut theorists argue that space aliens are quite possible. Why not assume that the beings known as the Nommo gave them this knowledge? They were just representatives of another intelligent civilization, and they weren't humanoids.
However, there is another opinion. Opponents of the Paleocontact theory and ancient astronauts assume that the Dogon received their cosmic knowledge from ethnologists. They probably appeared in those places even before the French explorers. However, no work on the study of the Dogon tribe has been published before. In addition, scientists have reliably established that all Dogon stories about Sirus B have their roots in the distant past. They are at least several hundred years old.
And this fact confuses science. How do the Dogon know such cosmic facts? There are two options. The earth was indeed visited by alien guests. Or there was some highly developed civilization on Earth in ancient times, and all the Dogon knowledge came from it.
