Ever since we came back from running all our photography tours in Asia, we have been leading a lot of photography workshops in Hoi An, Vietnam. We have already met a lot of exciting students and people willing to work with us, including the awesome bloggers from Wandering Weathleys.
Nick and Val joined one of our sunrise photography tour in Hoi An and wrote an extended blog post about it here. It's a pleasure to have bloggers/photographers joining the tour as we can all share our travel experiences.
Meanwhile, I was interviewed by Pete De Marco for an article about photography in central Vietnam. There I shared some tips about the way to approach people and some great locations in Hoi An for photography.
Pete and I will be leading the 5-day photography tour in central Vietnam in May.
We have been launching a brand new website for Hoi An Photo Tour and workshop, and we are now offering, on a daily basis, photography tours and workshops in the old town and in the countryside. We also teach people about street, smartphone, food and even wildlife photography! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUbufxK7Tt522WZBDL | Love that dirty water? Bacteria levels at Mass. ocean beaches nothing to brag about
By Chris Lisinski, State House News Service
BOSTON — Water at more than 200 Massachusetts beaches tested positive for potentially hazardous levels of bacteria last year, environmental advocates announced Tuesday, prompting calls for new regulations to better manage sewer systems.
Many of the locations had concentrations of fecal bacteria above federally recommended limits on at least one day, and some demonstrated potentially unsafe water on as many as half of the days they were tested, according to a new report from the Environment Massachusetts Research and Policy Center and the Frontier Group.
While quality has improved in many of the state's waterways, particularly around Boston, advocates said it is crucial to address the causes of still-frequent pollution to minimize the risk of illness.
"Swimming at the beach is a favorite summertime experience for so many families, but clearly we have more work to do to make sure the water at all of our beaches is safe," Environment Massachusetts State Director Ben Hellerstein said in a statement. "We must invest in water infrastructure that prevents pollution to ensure that Massachusetts' beaches are safe for swimming."
The report analyzed bacteria samples from beaches and lakes in 29 states and Puerto Rico, looking for cases where concentrations of fecal bacteria were higher than the federal Environmental Protection Agency's highest warning level, which is associated with an illness rate of about 32 per 1,000 swimmers.
More than half of the sites tested nationwide had at least one day with concentrations above the threshold, creating risks for gastrointestinal illness, advocates said.
In Massachusetts, experts examined samples from 583 beachfront locations ranging from the North Shore to the Cape and Islands. Of those, 223 had levels of fecal bacteria above the federal recommendation in at least one sample.
At least 10 different Massachusetts beaches tested positive for excessive fecal bacteria on 10 days or more last year, topped by the Nahant Bay waterfront near Eastern Avenue in Swampscott with 39 potentially unsafe days among 92 samples.
Sen. Jamie Eldridge, who helped lead a legislative commission that examined water infrastructure across the state, called the Environment Massachusetts report "very important."
"We're not providing enough state funding to cities and towns to do the necessary reduction of everything from sewer overflows to reducing bacteria in our lakes and ponds," Eldridge said.
In Norfolk County, the average beach was potentially unsafe for swimming on 21 percent of the days that sampling took place, according to the report, the highest percentage of any county in the state.
The federal government filed a civil lawsuit against the Quincy in March, alleging that the city violated the Clean Water Act by dumping pollutants such as E. coli onto beaches between 2009 and 2018. Fact-finding in that case continues and is scheduled to be completed this fall.
Contamination in ocean and lake water can come from a range of sources, often involving rain picking up fecal matter on land and carrying it. Sewage systems, particularly those that combine stormwater and wastewater sewers, are especially vulnerable to overflowing. About 850 billion gallons of untreated wastewater is released from such overflows every year in the U.S., the EPA estimated in 2004.
Investing in sewer and stormwater infrastructure is seen as a way to mitigate or prevent such incidents. A special commission convened to study the issue identified about $1 billion per year in unmet needs providing clean water to towns and another $1 billion needed annually to properly handle wastewater.
Following the commission's recommendations, the Legislature in 2014 approved a bill increasing the bond cap for the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust Fund, a division of the treasurer's office that awards low-interest loans for infrastructure improvements, by $50 million. The bill also made it easier for municipalities to join the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, which runs a treatment plant in Winthrop that was critical to cleaning up Boston Harbor.
A representative from the Clean Water Trust Fund could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Several of the commission's suggestions, such as increasing the price of delivering clean water and expanding the bottle bill, were not taken up. Eldridge, who co-chaired the commission, said the Legislature's response was "very modest."
Unlike 14 other states, Massachusetts still does not require public notification about combined sewer overflows, which the report said can both carry disease-causing bacteria and create toxic algae blooms. Lawmakers who last week kayaked the length of the Merrimack River called attention to that specific problem.
A bill (H 3976) implementing the overflow notification mandate cleared the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture last month and is now before the House Ways and Means Committee.
"Climate change is only exacerbating our pollution issues as stormwater runoff triggers more sewage overflows," Gabby Queenan, policy director at the Massachusetts
Rivers Alliance, said in a press release alongside Tuesday's report. "This legislation is the first important step in addressing and eventually eliminating CSOs. Ultimately we need to make major investments in our grey and green water infrastructure."
Eldridge also has a bill (S 460) before the Legislature that would impose a $0.70-per-1,000-gallons surcharge on water withdrawn from municipal sources. Half of that money would go back to the cities and towns to help improve their water infrastructure and the other half would go to the state.
He said he believes that legislation, which has not yet been scheduled for a hearing before the Environment Committee, would "take steps to reduce this release of sewage and stormwater."
"As difficult as it has been to discuss raising revenue for education or transportation, it seems to be even harder for water infrastructure because people often aren't thinking as much about infrastructure that's below the ground as opposed to seeing our commuter rail or subways break down or a lack of funding in our schools," he said. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUfS_xK7FjYCv2T3k0 | Restomods: The 'New' Vintage Car Guide
by Adam Hay-Nicholls
Evolution E-Type Jaguar E-Type
© Ian Wright – New World Designs Ltd
The Jaguar E-Type is an untouchable automotive icon. Now, restomod specialist, Evolution E-Types, is taking the iconic chassis and bringing it roaring into the modern age. And it's not the only one…
To mangle the title of a Blur album, modern cars are rubbish. Obviously, they're technological miracles that have improved in every aspect, except for the most important: styling. These days they're mostly cookie-cutter, dull-looking things.
You know who's to blame: the blasted health and safety executive; smoothing off angles, demanding bigger bumpers and raked-back radiators and windscreens, for no better reason than the preservation of life. Before crash testing became a thing, car designers let their imagination do the talking. In the days before computer-aided graphics programmes, they relied on the simple stroke of a pencil and a lust for beauty.
Evolution E-Types has been crafting exquisitely optimised Jaguar E-Types from the ground up since 1995.
The off-putting thing about classic cars, apart from a lack of airbags, is that they break down more often than Britney Spears and, in these worrying times, they're no friend of the polar bear. Imagine if you could have an automobile with the unfiltered vintage design of, say, a Jaguar E-Type, but with a state-of-the-art powertrain, safety cell and creature comforts? Welcome to the rarefied world of Evolution E-Types.
The term 'modern classic' gets bandied about more often than Brexit right now but this is one of the cases where it's justified, and not just as a turn of phrase. The entire god-given mandate of Evolution E-Types is to make one of the most stunning chassis ever conceived fit for the modern era.
It's a worthy task and one that began 25 years ago. Founder Uryk Dmyterko was initially contracted to restore a stunning Series 1 E-Type Roadster to concours standard. It was easier said than done, and Dmyterko had to resort to building his own parts, eventually caving in and re-building the entire sub frame assembly.
Well, once word got out, Dmyterko became the belle of the ball, courted by anyone with a rusting E-Type in need of some extra parts. A thriving parts business however wasn't enough. I don't blame him, personally. And so he set out to create the finest car ever built under the name Evolution E-Types.
Evolution really is the perfect word for what the restomod specialist does. It takes and restores the bare bones of an E-Type, bringing it back to its lovely vintage self, right down to the aluminium monocoque. Inside, it's another story.
In their latest roadster for example, the team installed a five-litre high-torque engine with sequential fuel injection, an EDIS ignition system and a fully-programmed engine management system. In short, the most fitting modern engine around.
There are purists out there that will be hanging their heads in shame at the thought of anyone touching such an iconic car; but then they're the same kind of gentleman that's happy with the rotting window frames of their country homes because they're 'a period feature'. Those people are obviously wrong. Breaking down is not 'charming'.
What naysayers don't seem to understand is context. If the E-Type was built today, it would utilise the best technology available, the same enhancements that Evolution E-Types offers across its cars. Jaguar is the last marque to be stuck in the past and, while the design is timeless and always will be, that's all it is: design. It's the façade of that aforementioned country home. Evolution turns it from a crumbling mess into a home fit for a reclusive oligarch.
Evolution E-Types of course is not the only restomod specialist out there and, while it may have cornered the market on the iconic Jaguar, there are plenty of other classics out there in need of an update. Here are the ones you should know…
Alfaholics Alfa Romeo GTA-R
© Gerard Hughes Photography 2014
Who knew that Bristol has been the epicentre of Alfa Romeo 105 Series restoration and souping for the past 35 years? R-Types were and remain one of the most vivacious and charismatic road-to-track cars ever made but, being Italian and from the '60s, good luck making it to where you're going. Brothers Richard, Max and Andrew Banks retain all the flair and character of the original but dispose with the mood-swings. Starting at £120,000 for a fully built R-type, the feather-light customisation gets as technical as you want it to, with engine maps, gear ratios, suspension and damping all bespoked to suit your driving style. Ideal for historic racing and well as posing; alfaholics.com
Mechatronik Mercedes-Benz W111 Coupe
© OV MEDIA
Mercedes-Benz's W111 Coupe remains a truly gentlemanly steed, but puffs of dense smoke should be consigned to the cigar you dangle from the door sill, not the throaty exhaust. To improve the whole experience, like a new lining on a vintage suit, German engineers Mechatronik will, for just under £400,000, restore the 1960s lux-mobile and add a 415bhp 5.5-litre V8 AMG motor, modern suspension and safety equipment; that of a 2019 SLK 55 AMG, but suddenly a whole tonne cooler. Yearn for a Richard Burton spy thriller from 50 years ago? This is that movie, but remastered.
Jensen International Automotive Interceptor R Supercharged
This reimagining of the classic Jensen Interceptor has the musk of a 1970's leading man, but it'll never stall or be locked up for historic sexual offences. Making a clean getaway is its Cadillac-derived 650bhp supercharged V8, six-speed automatic gearbox and cutting-edge traction control. Under the playboy skin, it boasts serious intellect with re-engineered suspension and ABS brakes, making it as sharp and comfortable as a brand-new Bavarian barnstormer. Inside, this £300,000 British icon differs slightly from its fully restored but original bodywork with connected infotainment, electric everything and quilted Scottish leather and Wilton carpets that are fresh and unblemished. Given the performance, that may not remain true of your licence, but if we were the constabulary and saw this car, we'd let you off. Respect; jensen-sales.com
Singer Porsche 911
The fabergé of the restomod scene, Singer Vehicle Design is lauded for its performance, taste and craftsmanship – and, accordingly, its products cost between £400k and over a million. The California company also has rock 'n' roll cred, given that founder Rob Dickinson (a Brit) was the frontman of 90s alternative band Catherine Wheel, and his cousin is Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden. But the loudest noise comes from his surgically enhanced Porsches. He takes 964-designation 911s, ie the early 90s third gen, then creates a stunning wide-hipped carbon-fibre body based on the original 1960s machine and inserts modern bits into the cracks. One for the minted Porsche connoisseur for whom the spanner-wielders in Stuttgart aren't specialist enough.
Frontline Developments MGB Roadster
Located in Oxfordshire, Frontline has been improving upon MG's iconic products for three decades, from Midget tweaks to full bespoke builds of classic MGBs with 304bhp, Mazda engines that'll fire them towards 160mph and 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Things like electric steering and sound-deadening make it a most comfortable proposition, except for perhaps the price. While you can get a good original for well under £10k, the Abingdon-edition MGB resto-mod costs ten times that.
Ares Design '64 Corvette Stingray
© Maroccia Photography
Based in Italy's supercar mecca of Modena, atelier Ares Design has taken what may be the hottest-looking American two-seater of all time and spent 3,500 hours marrying it to the underpinnings of a 2017 Corvette C7. You'd be hard-pressed to be able to distinguish this from a 1964 Stingray without opening the bonnet, and therein lies the surprise: a brand-new 6.2 litre LS3 V8 pumping out 525bhp. The handling is 21st century, while the sound it makes is timeless. A maximum of 15 are being built to order, priced around £320,000.

Stella McCartney Makes It All Look Easy
But living her life is not exactly a walk in the park. Even though she's the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney of Beatle's fame, who is reportedly a billionaire, she's had her share of speed bumps along the way. The 48-year-old British fashion designer who is married to Alasdhair Willis – the former publisher of Wallpaper and a creative guru himself, has four active children and a company that spans the globe. She's got a lot on her plate, as they say.
McCartney and her daughter – Photo courtesy of Vogue, January 2020
McCartney is very much a hands-on mother: five days a week she wakes up at 6:30 am to take her daughters Bailey, 13 and Reiley, 9 plus her sons Miller, 14 and Beckett, 11 to school – according to an article in Vogue, 1/20 written by the wordsmith Hamish Bowles. Or as she says, "When you've got a job and kids, that's when you get to see them. Later in the day, I try to get back for the bookending of being a mother."
ON WEEKENDS SHE SPENDS MORE TIME with her brood at an estate in the wilds of north Gloucestershire that is the result of a house hunt born, as she explains, of a "desperate mission to find land so that I could ride my horse." Over the past 15 years the manor house and garden have been transformed. "We planted a million trees," McCartney told Vogue in 2010, "made another Eden."
HER INTEREST IN FASHION STARTED AT AGE 13 when she began to make her own clothes. Three years later she had an internship with designer Christian Lacroix. Then she earned a degree in fashion design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. This school is famous for turning out fashion superstars such as the late Alexander McQueen.
SHE IS RENOWNED FOR HER SHARP, SIMPLE TAILORING with a feminine edge. "It's not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway," she once told WWD. It's what it looks like on a real person that matters. That isn't easy to do, but it's fun." McCartney is a staunch supporter of animal rights – she refuses to use leather or fur in any of her designs. Her shoes are made of vinyl or plastic; all belts and bags are made from raffia (a palm tree native to tropical Africa) and fabric. Her company currently has 48 freestanding stores situated in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
HER LOVE OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS IS REFLECTED in her state-of-the-sustainable-arts London flagship store – which she designed herself, with a soundtrack that includes a three-hour loop of her father, Paul's demo tapes. "The audio is important to me because it's such a big part of my upbringing," she says. McCartney takes Bowles up the "Stellavator" to the floor where she fitted the Duchess of Sussex for the glamorous halter-neck dress she wore for the wedding reception following her marriage to Prince Harry. (Personally, I thought that dress was absolutely spectacular.)
SHE WAS APPOINTED CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF CHLOÉ in 1997 and struggled with the perception that at 26 she was too young and unqualified for the job. (One of the speed bumps I mentioned upfront.) "The Beatles wrote Sgt. Pepper when they were 26," she told Vogue tartly. Despite what she refers to as "a lot of resistance," McCartney turned the CHLOÉ gig (which lasted through the launch of her self-titled brand in 2001) into a triumph, tripling sales.
MCCARTNEY HAS FAR MORE AMBITIOUS GOALS FOR expanding her global reach. Last year, she bought back full ownership of her label – after 17 years. Every aspect of the future looks very bright for this extremely talented and savvy fashion designer. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdWg5qWTD6fxGWkZX | Are You Struggling To Find Joy In Your Life?
Are you experiencing overwhelming stress or anxiety?
Are you struggling in your important relationships?
Isit hard to function some days, making you want to go back to bed?
Or maybe you feel bad, but just can't figure out why?
Feeling unhappy, highly anxious and discouraged can have a grave impact on your life, especially when you're trying to juggle family and work responsibilities and still make time to care for yourself. You may be experiencing intense emotions triggered by a loss, illness or a significant life transition. You could be prone to depression or anxiety. Or, you may have no idea why you're feeling so bad and feel guilty for not being more engaged at work or with your family. It's totally normal to experience periods of time that just don't feel good, but when these moments turn into weeks or months, it's important to get professional help to identify and address your unhappiness.
Almost all of us go through some period of time when we experience a loss, transition or challenge that makes our lives feel overwhelming or even unmanageable. During these down times, it's only natural to seek comfort and relief from emotional pain. Unfortunately, there are may "quick fixes" that can numb pain, but actually make things worse, such as self-medicating with alcohol or drugs, food and "retail therapy." There is also the tendency to withdraw from friends and family and become isolated during these tough times. While some people may be able to push through challenging times on their own, others can benefit from going to counseling. If you are struggling, adult counseling can be a valuable place to get support guidance and practical solutions so you can feel better and enjoy your life.
It can be so helpful to have someone point out the strengths we may have forgotten we have, the blind spots we may not know exist and to offer a different and informed perspective. An, during challenging times, it can also be beneficial to have a compassionate therapist help us identify and address those aspects of our lives and of ourselves that are causing pain.
I can provide you with the safe and nonjudgmental space to work through challenging emotions and painful situation. I will help you view things from different perspectives, offer honest feedback and provide ongoing support. Together, you can identify your self-limiting patterns and learn effective ways of handing stress and conflict. More importantly, I can help you re-connect to your inner talents, yearnings and strengths. Itis possible like yourself again – maybe even better than before – and to experience more ease, flow and joy in your life.
Therapy can take a lot of time and it isn't cheap. I'm not sure it's worthwhile.
Therapy isan investment in yourself and in your family. By investing in yourself now, you are not only creating the opportunity to feel better sooner, but therapy can also help you create a solid emotional foundation, that you can draw on the rest of your life. Unprocessed or misunderstood feelings can also impact how you engage inrelationships, influence productivity at work, increase stress and affect your family. However, working through difficult feelings can create the space for emotionally healthy relationship and improved self-esteem.
I'm worried that I might learn that something is wrong with me– that I'm crazy – and I'll lose control of my life.
You're likely just feeling really bad right now. However, addressing strong emotions with a professional therapist will make it less likely that you'll lose control. This is counter-intuitive, but very true. When individuals gain self-awareness and healthy coping skills, they become more effective at handling difficult situations. So when you're contemplating reaching out for counseling, you are making steps to gain more control of your life.
I'm afraid that therapy will shine a light on all that is making me feel bad and make mefeel even worse.
Therapy will not make anything worse. What therapy will dois make you more aware ofwhat is occurring within your life. This awareness can sometimes be painful, but sifting and sorting through that pain is necessary to move forward and heal. Until you really know what's wrong, how can you go about fixing it?

BkiUcSTxaKPQoka4RSDQ | Prevention of Crime
The central strategy and number one operational priority of the Mount Vernon Police Department is "prevention of crime." It is better to attempt to prevent crime than to put departmental resources to work after the crime has been committed. Clearly, such a stance should result in an improved quality of life for the citizens of Mount Vernon, and a reduction in fear generated by both the reality and the perception of crime.
Under the command of a Lieutenant, and direct supervision of a sergeant, the Crime Prevention Division currently consists of Lieutenant Greg Booth; Sergeant Brent Thompson; Community Service Officers Megan Murphy and Adam Walker, and Animal Control Officer Emily DenHartog. Community Service Officers divide the city for coverage. Megan is responsible for the area north of Division Street while Adam handles the area south of Division. Megan and Adam facilitate the Block Watch Program within their geographic boundaries and work closely with the community, problem solving neighborhood, and quality of life issues. The Public Education (TEAM) Officer position is currently vacant.

Community Based Crime Prevention
Community based crime prevention in Mount Vernon includes Neighborhood Block Watch, Citizens on Proactive Patrol (COPP), Managers Net, Mount Vernon Police Volunteers (MVPV), as well as other volunteer programs. Each involves citizen participation in neighborhood activity, in cooperation with the Police Department, in an effort to identify, prevent, and cope with crime. Citizens, working in partnership with the police, identify and problem-solve neighborhood and community problems. These community volunteers are an extension of the Mount Vernon Police Department, and are additional eyes and ears working to make "Safe and Enjoyable Community Living" a reality.
This function provides citizens with a centralized source of prevention information and assistance to minimize the chances of becoming a crime victim. Under the command of a lieutenant, and direct supervision of a sergeant, officers assigned to this division provide crime prevention assistance through community, neighborhood, and commercially targeted programs. The division maintains rapport with the public through community relations efforts, school safety programs, and provides response to calls for service which are of a prevention nature and do not require the presence of a first response patrol officer.
Neighborhood Security
Organizes and maintains Neighborhood Block Watches and Neighbors on Patrol programs; provides programs such as Operation ID and follow-up survey service as preventative measures against crime; organizes residents to solve problems at the neighborhood level.
Provides loss prevention ideas and training for commercial enterprises; assists businesses in asset protection planning.
Through programs such as School Safety Patrol, Officer Friendly and TEAM, the division provides instruction to children on such topics as pedestrian and bicycle safety, gun safety, and drug and alcohol awareness. In addition, children and adults are taught the role of the police in the community through programs such as Citizen Academy.
The division is responsible for managing the department's volunteer programs such as Citizen's on Proactive Patrol, SVC Intern Program, and MVPV Vacation Home Check.
Speed Radar Trailers
The department has two radar trailers that are placed in problematic areas of the city to help remind motorist to obey the speed limit. If you would like to request a radar trailer at a specific location please contact us.

Ma Pau bats for Almost 11 cricket team
Ma Pau representative Kerry-Ann Thompson, left, presents a cheque to Almost 11 Sports Club executive member Ravi Johnson.
MA PAU has come out to bat for Almost 11 Sports Club for the 2019 season. Ma Pau has donated $9,225 to go towards providing uniforms for its cricket team.
In a press release, Ma Pau said it has "sponsored sporting and cultural organisations in keeping with the firm's core values and philosophy of meaningfully contributing towards the intangible heritage of the national development."
Ma Pau said it understands the importance of sport to society because it helps prove the importance of rules.
"Without rules, games such as cricket are not playable. In the same context, society cannot function without having rules and regulations in place. Likewise, the activities of Ma Pau operate with rules and regulations and as such willingly support an organisation who similarly support adherence to rules," Ma Pau said.

BkiUdTE25V5hc_OxxXlt | Describe how to identify a Classical symphony and elaborate on a key musical form of the period.
The typical classical symphony can be identified through its use of standard forms and relatively simple methods of construction compared to later Romantic music. Broadly speaking, a typical classical symphony would take the following form:1st movement - Allegro (or similar) in sonata form, sometimes with a slow introduction2nd movement – Slow movement3rd movement - Minuet and Trio or Scherzo and trio - a dance movement with three beats in a bar - Beethoven famous altered the standard form by typically using a scherzo as opposed to a minuet (The well known 5th symphony offers a good example)4th movement – Allegro, also often in sonata form. The eighteenth century featured a development of a form known as sonata form, consisting in its most simple form of three basic sections within the structure; the exposition, development and recapitulation. The form seems similar to ternary form in that it contains three sections, but actually stems from rounded binary form, which is an expansion of the simpler binary form prominent in music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Each of the three sections has its own purpose relating to harmonic and thematic structure. The aim of the exposition is to introduce the main thematic material, emphasising the tonal polarity of the tonic and dominant keys within the presentation of these subjects. The opening or first subject of the exposition appears firmly rooted in the tonic key, and the second (usually with contrasting melodic material) in the dominant key, offering contrasting musical statements which can be developed in the later sections, connected by a transitional passage. The transition section serves to destabilise the home key in order for the second subject to be introduced in the secondary key, so may move away from the tonic to undermine the tonal stability previously heard in the opening i.e. the first subject firmly in the home key. Following this is the development section, where the composers explores, elaborates and transforms the melodic material presented in the exposition, moving through different (but not always related) keys and often the subjects are fragmented and intertwined to develop and extend the original ideas. The final section is the recapitulation, which brings back the material from the exposition, re-establishing the home key, though the material may not be in exactly the same form as the opening and is usually modified; there is often variety in the returning section as well as a change in the function of the harmony, which in the case of the recapitulation is to return to the original key of the first subject.

BkiUbC45qsNCPe9kHDVp | Q: Would an increase in the positive motivation to take care of newbies be useful? The new CoC operates mainly with negative motivation, i.e. the unfriendly welcome, particularly to newbies, is forbidden. Violating it results in punishment.
Maybe the system could have a positive motivation side, too?
I intentionally leave open the question of how, exactly; if the answer is yes, we can talk about that. I am thinking of new badges, or maybe even reputation (for edit, answer or comment, so anything that takes care of a newbie).
A: We already have badges that, while not specifically about new users, are for activities that tend to come up a lot when interacting with new users, like:
*
*Explainer, Refiner, and Illuminator, for both editing and answering a question
*Custodian, Reviewer, and Steward, which can be earned for First Posts, Reopen, Close, and other review queues
*Editor, Strunk & White, Copy Editor, and Organizer, for edits
*Commentator and Pundit for comments, though I admit that comments aren't necessarily helpful
*Tenacious and Unsung Hero, for helpful answers where the asker can't upvote
I don't think we need to add new-user-flavored badges; rather, helping new users is an easy and mutually beneficial way to earn badges that already exist.
A: The problem with extrinsic motivation is that, well the moment someone gets that reward, they either want more rewards or they lose interest.
As an experienced user, and someone who's seen the rise and fall (or at least the slow decline) of internet communities there's two factors here.
A stagnant community community is unhealthy. People leave, they lose interest. In a long running set of communities like this, well, people even die. As someone interested in various communities in SE, my intrinsic motivation is having these spaces thrive and grow.
I don't need a COC to go "hey, this new user's post could use a little love." or even better "This post is terrible but the tool he's using is really cool and by improving the post with the stuff I've learnt over the time I've been on SE, it can be more useful".
In a sense building a sense of community and shaping that intrinsic motivation to improve posts is important. And the way to do that really is to engage folks and have them.
That's to say, it would be, but at a less obvious level.

Retired veteran learning creative skills as he pursues second degree
Desire to learn, military benefits help bring him back to classroom as studio art major
Jerry Poling | March 12, 2019
He graduated from college when Jimmy Carter was president and served in the military for 34 years, including in Iraq. He was a high school teacher, owned and operated a dairy farm, and recently he was diagnosed with cancer.
Arne Thompson, 66, of Ridgeland in Dunn County, has been many things and dealt with many things in his life. That's why he's pretty laid-back about his latest adventure, working on a bachelor's degree in studio art from University of Wisconsin-Stout.
"I'm just hoping to learn some hobby stuff. You've got to have something to do when you get up in the morning," said Thompson, a 1971 graduate of Barron High School.
On a recent day, he was in the art metals lab in the Applied Arts Building at UW-Stout, working with career-focused students about 45 years younger. As part of a project for the Metals and Contemporary Art Jewelry III class, he designed an eagle about the size of a lapel pin made of wax that was being plated with copper, part of an electroforming process.
Wearing a Red Arrow Division T-shirt, Army-style boots and 278th Brigade socks, he looked right in his element among the metals fabricating equipment and tools, including one set of hand tools he created.
A big reason he's back in college — 40 years after receiving an agricultural education degree from UW-River Falls — is the service to his country. He's using his government benefits, with the help of the military benefits coordinator at UW-Stout, Sarah Godsave.
Godsave has helped Thompson navigate the sometimes complicated world of veterans paperwork to make sure he can get the classes he wants with the benefits he's earned.
"It's an invaluable service. It would be really hard to wend your way through that system without a facilitator. Sarah is very good, and that was my expertise," Thompson said.
UW-Stout has about 400 students who are active military or veterans, and the university recently was named a national Best for Vets school by the publication Military Times. About 5,000 veterans are enrolled at UW System schools and receive more than $24 million a year in tuition remissions and related payments.
Military and other careers
Thompson reached mandatory retirement age in 2013. He spent 13 years full time as a staff sergeant retention coordinator and infantry squad leader with Menomonie's Company A of the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
"I received a great deal of satisfaction out of making a difference for people. It was my passion," said Thompson, who also served in the National Guard reserves for 21 years.
In 2004-2005, Company A deployed with the 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry to Iraq as an attachment with the 278th Brigade Combat Team from Tennessee. Thompson was 52 with three children and found himself in a war zone 50 miles north of Baghdad. "You look around and wonder if you took a wrong turn somewhere. But we all made it OK," he said.
In Iraq as a senior human resources sergeant, Thompson mostly was involved with unit paperwork and didn't have any battle or near-death experiences. He re-enlisted 156 unit members while there, helping greatly reduce unit turnover.
The unit provided security for supply routes during the war in an area about twice the size of Dunn County, he said.
Thompson finished his career in the military, but it wasn't his first career. He and his wife, Beth, bought the dairy farm in northern Dunn County where he grew up. They operated it for 19 years. He also was involved with his father's business that included agricultural materials handling and barn and silo construction.
After they sold the cows but stayed on the farm near Ridgeland, Arne taught technology education during the 1999-2000 school year at Richland Center High School in southwestern Wisconsin. Then he accepted an offer to join the military full time.
His decision to enroll in UW-Stout's studio art program in 2017 was part wanting to continue to learn and part staying busy. "I fixed up the farm house and putzed a little bit. But what do you do?"
He found that there was plenty to do when he learned about UW-Stout program offerings through his three children, all Blue Devil alumni. Eric Thompson received a packaging degree, Ian Thompson graduated in vocational rehabilitation and Kathryn "Kate" Thompson Eternick received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in studio art, the same program her father is in, with a concentration in painting.
Like their father, Eric and Ian also served in the National Guard, were deployed and used the GI Bill to help pay for their education.
'The kids are great'
Arne previously took summer classes at UW-Stout in 2006 and 2008, including one on sculptural steel. His interest in that area led him to enroll in the metals and contemporary art jewelry concentration in the studio art program.
Some of his professors are young enough to be his children and most classmates young enough to be his grandchildren, but he's not letting age get in the way.
"The kids (in the classes) are great. The social part of it is really good for me," he said.
Assistant Professor Vincent Pontillo-Verrastro, who teaches the Metals and Contemporary Jewelry III class, said Thompson brings "passion, enthusiasm, and vibrancy through his contributions in our shared learning environment.
"As a lifelong learner, his participation in the studio community is inspirational, and his charismatic approach to creative problem-solving sets an example for younger students in the class to explore outside of their prescribed 'comfort zones,'" Pontillo-Verrastro said.
The class includes two other retirees.
Arne has been receiving treatment since last fall for a type of lung cancer that is caused by a genetic mutation. In an advanced stage, the cancer has spread to his brain, but he had successful outpatient brain surgery last fall at Mayo Clinic in Rochester and said he has been responding well to ongoing treatments.
The diagnosis came while he was hospitalized from a serious traffic accident.
Along with art classes, Thompson is taking an elective class this semester on military history. UW-Stout has a military science department to support the Army ROTC program on campus.
It's a life circle — a man who served in the military is using his military benefits to learn more about his country's military history. Plus, his father was a World War II veteran.
"Given my background, it's really a great class. It's tying a lot of stuff together," Thompson said.

BkiUbhG6NNjgBpvH_3hw | Horopito, Peppertree, Ramarama Distribution: Occurs naturally throughout both the main islands of New Zealand, except in the very north of the North Island. It is found in the lowlands, to the mountain forests and can form thickets after forest destruction.

Sift flour, baking powder, salt and pepper together in a large mixing bowl. Add tomatoes and coriander. Whisk egg, milk and horopito infused avocado oil together and stir into the dry mixture until smooth. If too thick, add a little more milk or horopito infused oil. Drop dessertspoonfuls on a medium hot griddle, BBQ or frypan, until lightly brown. Turn when mixture slightly bubbles. Serve with a stunning fresh green herb salad, some Turkish bread and salsa.

BkiUa-zxK1UJ-2RwUoHY | The Nvidia GeForce 305M or G 305M is a laptop graphics card for entry level (small sized) notebooks. It has a similar computing power as the GeForce 9400M (ION) integrated chipset but features dedicated graphics memory (up to 512 MB connected with a 64 Bit memory interface). The core of the card is based on the GT218 architecture and supports hardware DirectX 10.1 effects.
The card supports PureVideo HD to decode HD videos with the graphics card (like Blu-Ray movies). PhysX is not really supported by the card, because of the lacking performance.
The gaming performance should be only a bit better than the 9400M G and therefore only suited for non demanding games or games in low resolution and detail settings. It is compareable to the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4350. Therefore, gamers wont be happy with the GeForce 305M.
The Nvidia GeForce 310M is an entry level laptop graphics card and the successor of the G 210M and therefore based on the same GT218 core with very similar clock rates (shader speed +30MHz). However, there are also newer versions that are clocked at 606 MHz and therefore slightly slower. Nvidia states that the raw performance is 73 Gigaflops compared to the 72 Gigaflops of the G210M. Therefore, the 310M is an entry level dedicated graphics card for small laptops.
The performance of the 310M is similar to the GeForce G 210M and therefore located in the entry level class. Modern 3D games like COD Modern Warfare 2 run only in low details and resolutions fluently. Some demanding games like NFS Shift or GTA4 wont run fluently at all. Less demanding games like SIMS 3 run in medium details and resolutions fluently. Therefore, the graphics card can not be recommended for gamers.
The card supports DirectX 10.1 and all the features of the G 210M (as it should be based on the same GT218 core). Therefore PureVideo HD to decode HD videos with the graphics card is supported. The used Video Processor 4 (VP4) is able to fully decode H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, and also MPEG-4 ASP (DivX or xVID) in hardware to minimize CPU load. MPEG-1 is not supported but can be easily handled by every modern CPU.
As the 310M supports CUDA, DirectX Compute 10.1, and OpenCL, the shaders of the graphics processor can be used for other tasks than rendering images (e.g. faster encoding of videos).
The used GT218 core is manufactured in 40nm and based on the desktop GTX 200 architecture. Therefore, the shaders have been reworked compared to the old GeForce G110M for an improved performance and battery runtime. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdsg4c3aisE1SQx1J | In this review, we will be comparing WX500 and EX-100, two Small Sensor Superzoom cameras from Sony and Casio. Sony WX500 has a 18.0MP 1/2.3" sensor whereas Casio EX-100 has a 12.0MP 1/1.7" sensor.
Let's have a brief look at the main features of Sony WX500 and Casio EX-100 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Sony WX500 and Casio EX-100. Sony WX500 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 17mm narrower, 9mm shorter and 14mm thinner than Casio EX-100.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Sony WX500 is significantly lighter (153g ) than the Casio EX-100 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Sony WX500 has a 18.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Bionz X processor. On the other hand, Casio EX-100 has a 12.0MP 1/1.7" (7.44 x 5.58 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Sony WX500's sensor provides 6MP more than Casio EX-100's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the WX500 and EX-100 sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Casio EX-100 has a 1.5x Larger sensor area than Sony WX500. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sony WX500 features a 24-720 mm F3.5-6.4 30× zoom lens whereas Casio EX-100 features a 28-300 mm F2.8 10.7× zoom lens.

BkiUeF7xK1Thg9qFeP0S | NOTHING says summer like fresh tomatoes. Can I get an amen? And if it's not summer where you are, please consider moving to my good state. We'd love to have you! Fresh tomatoes may be my favorite thing in all the world. I've got about 7 different varieties in my garden as we speak and if that weren't enough, I live in the tomato capitol of the South. We drove to a tomato farm on the other side of the lake last week after church and have been in hog heaven all week. I've had tomatoes in every possible combination. I made this fresh tomato tart while our company was here last week and it was everything I ever dreamed of.
I make it several times every summer when the tomatoes are fresh and I usually serve it with grilled kabobs. It's THE perfect summer supper! Ruth is a vegetarian so this was an easy meal to adjust since we could make her kabobs with shrimp and vegetables and the tart is just layered tomatoes over cheese and basil. This is my 2nd favorite way to have tomatoes in the summer. My favorite? Fresh tomato sandwich. PLEASE tell me you've tried the summer tomato sandwich! No? Well, start here with the tomato tart and I'll ease you into the sandwich by late summer!
Tell your favorite tomato variety if you're a tomato gardener! I've still got time to add a variety or two!
p.s. I have a little something up my sleeve and I'll tell you all about it soon. But let this be a little teaser!!
Spent the day in Gibbs Gardens yesterday with 2 best friends.
Thanks for all you share with us. I appreciate you so much.
I've been looking for a good tomatoe tart recipe for years!! Yes, years. We had a great tart at our wedding in 2001 and I've been trying to replicate it ever since. It's true, I can't make this stuff up. Can't wait to try yours!
I LOVE tomatoes! I must grow at least some of my own every summer. Can't live without them! However, we live in MN now so the growing season is shorter, and I can't grow as many varieties as I would like. My favorite variety, out of the ones I have tried growing, is Mr. Stripey. They are large tomatoes and so flavorful – they make a fabulous tomato sandwich (one of my favorites too). MMMMMM! I am going to have to try this tart. It looks and sounds delicious.
I think I will make this tonight. Can't wait for your app!
You are SO lucky. My tomato plants just went into the ground on Tuesday. Unfortunately in these here parts, we can't put anything in the ground before May 24th due to the possibility of frost. Nonetheless, I will be tucking this recipe away for August 15th….. which is about the earliest we reap anything. Is there anything better in the world to eat than a warm, vine-picked tomato? I think not!
Looks yummy! Will definitely have to make this as soon as the tomatoes start showing up in abundance.
My heavens – that sounds delicious! I am a tomato farmer & my current fave is Black Krim. The tomato tart – tomorrow for supper. But tonato sandwich… no can do because I have a life long hatred of mayo!
So, I did make this for dinner tonight & my husband and I nearly finished it all! It was excellent–Thank You!!!
We don't have any yet, but only because I was late in the garden this year. Can hardly wait to try this tart…sounds like perfection on a plate.
Nobody can make me click over to a pie or tart recipe like you can, even though I can't handle carbs! Can't wait to try this.

Is platinum better than gold
Both platinum and Gold are known to be the precious metals consisting of unique qualities. While choosing between platinum and Gold, we are more conscious about which is better and more valuable.
In history, platinum is considered to be more useful and expensive than Gold. Anyone who loves to buy jewellery can simply be able to make a difference between platinum and Gold.
Platinum is a globally recognized and a shiny white metal also considered as the symbol of value and quality as compared to Gold. It is challenging producing and extract platinum as it is buried in the earth, and the process to purify the platinum is (difficult) than Gold.
The demand for platinum is usually generated from the motor industry in cars and turbine engines for planes. There is also a requirement of platinum in medical devices like pace makers.
Gold, on the other hand, is used in the aerospace industry, jewellery, artistic applications, dentistry, computers and other electronic devices.
Gold is also valued as an alternate currency, and individuals, government reserve quantities of Gold. The huge demand for Gold by people, and the heavy volume of Gold is traded in the market. Gold and platinum have different characteristics, and their prices depend largely on economic factors, demand and supply.
What is platinum?
Platinum is derived from a Spanish word Palatino which means little silver. It is a chemical element and is a very malleable, dense, precious and silver-while shiny metal. Platinum is produced from two countries- Russia and South Africa.
Platinum is used in the auto industry for catalytic converters that help to reduce toxic pollutants and gases. The atomic number for platinum is 78, and the symbol on the table of contents is Pt. The atomic weight of platinum is 195.1 and density is 12.4 ounces per cubic inch. It is also known as white Gold and considered to be a highly desired and valued metal.
Platinum is a transition metal and can be easily shaped and stretched and is not affected easily by common acids. It is not found easily and rarest elements in the earth's crust. Because of its scarcity, only a few hundred tonnes are extracted annually and is the least reactive metal.
The Platinum is a noble metal, and even at high temperatures, it has resistance to corrosion. It occurs in the alluvial sands of different rivers and has 6 isotopes that occur naturally. 37 artificial is topes are created in a laboratory.
As platinum has low levels of reactivity, it is also used for making anti-cancer drugs to treat cancer and tumours. Platinum is silver and stronger than Gold, it does not tarnish, and a major part of the mined platinum is used in jewellery.
Platinum vs Gold
Supply and demand determine the price. Gold mines can be found in most of the world but platinum is restricted to a few mines. If the demand grows and the mines are unable to deliver, the price will increase.
Overall platinum demand is not stable and predictable. The biggest buyer for over 50 per cent demand is the automobile industry but if the changes in policies lead to the use of alternative metal it can lead to a decline in demand and subsequently price.
As the global economies are undergoing slowdown, the demand for products has declined and hence, the demand for heavy machinery or engines powered with precious metals has also declined. Global economies must perform adequately to ensure their demand.
On the other hand, the yellow metal is linked to culture and sentiments of buyers. It is pricey in comparison to platinum but has been gaining in markets. It provides a shield against geopolitical instability, economic tensions and global market fluctuations.
But overall both have a low correlation to other asset classes and even a small percentage of certain alternatives in the portfolio can help to reduce volatility and risks.
Platinum vs white gold durability
As per the history, platinum tends to be of more worth than Gold, and sometimes it can be vice versa. The best method to identify the relationship between the Gold and platinum prices is by observing the Platinum vs white gold durability ratio.
The platinum would be cheaper than Gold when the ratio of Gold: platinum would be more than 1. The investors find this as an opportunity to invest in metal as compared to other metal. Platinum needs less re-polishing as it is more durable.
In contrast, the finishing of the white Gold is done with a rhodium plating to make it look like a pure white shining metal to improve its durability. However, it does go off with time. Let's consider some points below –
The white gold piece is a white metal and not pure Gold, which is mixed with yellow Gold that takes the form of rhodium plating, which then wears down over time. Platinum, on the other hand, fades differently. It will not turn yellow, however, loses its shiny finish.
The composition of white Gold consists of 14k or 18k. And is mixed with other metals to make it hard, whereas platinum is a heavy and strong metal with its denser characteristics.
There is no doubt that platinum is more durable and reliable as compared to white Gold. Platinum can handle scratches and wear & tear as it is considered one of the most robust precious metal. Whereas, if you scratch the white Gold, the Gold is separated away and is lost.
Where is platinum found?
Most of people don't know that Where is platinum found. Here are some other countries that produce platinum-
South Africa –
South Africa's Ivan place mining possibly the world's biggest platinum mind. In South Africa, except Ivan, there are 11 mines where you can find platinum South Africa produce 172000 platinum worldwide. In South Africa, annual production is 1.4 million to 2.20 billion.
In Canada, there are two regions located in north Toronto that produce platinum. The first is Sudbury and 2nd location in Lac DesIles mine.
Russia –
Major platinum or deposits are located on the territory of Russia. The largest place deposit of platinum in Russia is located in Khabarovsk. It was found by a motor mining group a company that holds membership in the Russian platinum group.
There are a lot of gold mines in northern California, and a number of them produce platinum too.
Zimbabwe –
Zimbabwe has a large source of platinum.
The price of precious metals gained at the US stock market as the Treasury bond yields declined and the dollar remained weak on 28th August. On 29th Aug dollar gained, which restricted the movement of both the metals.
However, December futures on August 28 climbed to $1,551.80 on Comex and it was one of the highest and most active contract settlements since April 2013 (fact data report) and September silver was at $18.153 an ounce- that was one of the highest since April 2017. Platinum gained to 866.04 and palladium was up to $1,482.63.
Gold and platinum investment increased as the US president said that a positive deal is expected to come with the China but it was dismissed by the foreign minister of China who said no such phone calls have been made.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 200 points over the changes and stock benchmark indexes went up due to growing demand of the safe-haven assets.
There are expectations that the monetary policy changes in the euro zones and the inversion of US treasury yield curves will lead to rate cuts and all these factors make the investors believe that the economic condition is not very positive.
There are fears of a possible recession; possible slowing economies and the cuts announced by the Fed Reserve will further strengthen the value of the yellow metal. Last year it had a momentum of up to 17%, while, earlier platinum was traded at a higher price, now it is not the case.
October platinum was down 0.48% to 853.80. The investors can buy platinum or physical gold or platinum bars, coins, bullions, ETFs, futures contracts or stocks.
What is the difference between white gold and platinum rings?
White Gold and platinum they are all precious metal. White Gold is not white Gold it is yellow gold mixed with some alloy that makes it white so if you don't like the yellow look of Gold then go for white Gold because it is still as strong dense and heavy as regular Gold.
Even, it will last longer kind of thin silver as far as like denting and stuff it is a little stronger platinum is more expensive not only was it once considerably more costly than Gold besides that most produced white Gold.
Platinum gets a rhodium plating which is rhodium as a family of platinum. It is that bright white look that you always see. If you look at the density of Gold you have got something that's around 19 grams density wise and if you look the density of platinum about 21 so the density of platinum and Gold are very similar.
When you have 950 platinum rings, typically that's mean it made out of 95% pure platinum and then other things. Look at the atomic structure of platinum.
You will see there is no yellow their platinum occurs naturally all white it is also hypoallergenic. If your skin is sensitive, the nickel that mixed in there can interfere with your skin. And can make you break oud and have rashes or stuff.
And very few people are allergic to pure Gold. 18 Carat gold is 75 % pure while 14 % gold is 58.3 % pure the remainder is palladium, silver, or nickel this alloy is coated in rhodium plating, giving it the white appearance. Overall, the cost to upkeep white Gold is less expensive than platinum.
It is like white Gold is hands down your best alternative to platinum. If someone gets white Gold or platinum mostly its plate, so no one cannot tell from the surface.
What is Gold and platinum price?
Platinum is one of the most expensive metals as far as jewellery is concerned. Platinum is typically 95 and 95 per cent pure and since it is denser than Gold. Ends up being more massive and more expensive.
White Gold, on the other hand, is substantially cheaper yet looks identical to Platinum. But as far as putting money into Gold and platinum for diversification gold is your monetary metal when people think of investing money as a safe heaven.
Platinum with associated mainly with manufacturing and jewellery. Right now, though all the way the market is going the economy is most people are putting money into Gold. You can notice how Gold is gaining in terms of its relationship of gaining of price ratio to Platinum.
Gold vs platinum price are: -
Platinum at the peak was around 2200 an ounce it is coming down day by day now white Gold was some around w850 when platinum was high now you will get Gold around 1550 an ounce and platinum 1880 an ounce. So, the price gap between the two metal and ratio is beginning to close.
If you have to look at the long term and want to keep it forever, then go for platinum, and if you are thinking for a short time, then white gold is an excellent short-term solution. We hope this helps you make the right choice when deciding between platinum vs gold investment.
What are the Precious metals?
There is no doubt that Gold and platinum are the two most precious metals. These two metals have some unique qualities. More than 3 countries in the world are mined for Gold. These countries are Russia, Australia, and China.
Platinum is mainly produced in two countries – South Africa and Russia. Platinum is amendable metal, but it is very dense. Platinum is much deeper than Gold. So, producing platinum is more complicated than producing Gold. Again, refining platinum requires a rigorous process. Platinum is used in plain turbine engines as well as in essential industries.
It is used in medicine and jewellery making. Gold is a special kind of shiny metal. It is mainly used for making jewellery in the market. Also, it is used as electronic conductors in various electronic devices, used in dentistry, used in the aerospace industry, and used in other artistic purposes.
The importance of gold marketing is very high. Every day a huge amount of Gold is traded in the market. There are two futures exchange plans for Gold – the Tokyo Commodity Exchange and the New York CME Group Comox.
Comox Gold Futures is one of the world's leading liquid futures contracts. It represents about 26 million ounces of gold daily. The global physical market is also traded here.
Platinum has futures exchange agreements with the New York CME Group and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. Platinum is traded on the physical market and over-the-counter. Compared to Gold, the marketing importance of platinum is less, but the price of platinum is more sensitive than Gold.
Is it worth buying platinum?
If we judge in the long run, we can see that platinum and Gold are moving in the same direction. However, each metal has specific characteristics that set it apart from other metals.
Gold prices have changed a lot in times of economic uncertainty. Recently, as the demand for platinum has decreased, so has its price. Platinum recently traded at 986.30 an ounce, compared to the 1568.50 gold price. At present, the cost of platinum has fluctuated due to economic fluctuations. Gold prices have also risen sharply.
You can trade with both Gold and platinum. However, there are some differences in price and demand between the two. It is also worth considering that only two countries produce platinum (South Africa and Russia). So, if there is an economic catastrophe in these two countries, it will affect the price of Platinum.
The cost of platinum dropped to 22,222 in 2008 when South Africa was having problems with power supplies. Issues in the auto industry can also affect platinum prices. These fluctuations in gold prices are rare.
Gold is produced globally, so if there is a problem in the supply of Gold in one country, then there is no significant impact on the price of Gold in other countries. So, while platinum is more valuable than Gold, it is not as effective as Gold.
Should I get 10K, 14K or 18K White Gold?
While it's pure design, Gold is greatly soft and flexible. This suggests that when pure Gold is used to create an engagement ring, necklace, or watch, the finished product is much easier to scratch, bake, taunt, or damage than other methods.
Pure Gold is also very bright, with a colour closer to bright orange than the rich, warm gold colour that most people associate with fine jewellery. Gold is mixed with other metals before it is deposited in jewellery.
The purity of Gold is measured using the carat system, which measures the ratio of pure Gold to secondary metals used in the alloying process. Pure Gold is 24K, meaning that all 24 parts out of 24 are pure Gold.
This type of Gold is not often used in jewellery, although 24k gold jewellery is sometimes used as an investment or heritage in some parts of the world.
The purity of Gold is classified using the Carat system. The Carat system measures the ratio of pure Gold to other metals in a piece of gold jewellery. Yellow Gold is usually mixed with metals such as silver, palladium, platinum, and nickel to make it stronger.
Pure gold rings exist, but they are commonly used for ceremonial purposes. They are rarely worn so that they do not get used quickly. While 24K Gold is very rare in rings, it can be encountered more often in earrings because they are subject to reduced amounts of wear and tear.24K Gold has the advantage of an intense yellow tone, while it is difficult to distinguish between 10K, 14K, and 18K White Gold.
Is platinum or white Gold better for engagement rings?
If it happens to engagement rings, the various popular metal options are Gold vs platinum, as they are good-looking, strong, and charming. Both white Gold and platinum become a sleek, stylish look and are perfect for present engagement and wedding ring patterns.
Though there are significant variations among these two metals in terms of construction, price, strength, sincerity, and even fashion. First things first, you will rarely find a ring made of 100% pure gold or platinum. If utilized in jewellery, those metals are combined with other parts to create a stronger, working metal.
The most enormous platinum alloys contain 85% to 95% pure platinum, with the remains produced of metals such as copper, palladium, and cobalt. Any alloy with fewer than 80% platinum is not viewed platinum and cannot be identified with a platinum band. Platinum is biocompatible and does not cause a reaction to those who have metal sensitivities.
If you have skin sensitivity, then this is a competent option. While pure Gold is also hypoallergenic, white Gold can sometimes cause sensitivities to metals, such as nickel and zinc, which may be present in the alloy. The best type of white Gold is an alloy of Gold, silver, and copper and is hypoallergenic. White Gold is not real metal. There is no such thing as a white gold ingot found in nature.
On the other hand, platinum is generally white metal. When finished, it is smooth and shiny. Although it is a very powerful and robust metal, platinum directs to get scratched over time.
If you are not able to fix the variety within platinum and Gold yet, then be assured. If you have a reasonable budget, then goes ahead for platinum.
If you do not, Gold is still a costly metal and an outstanding option. At the end of the day, all rings require some minimal maintenance and repair, so make sure you buy your ring from a company that has a lifetime warranty and re-polishes, cleans and re-rings your rings for life for free.
Will plate again, like what we. Another common question we have is if a ring is holding etched, which metal is favoured. Platinum, palladium, and Gold can all be fixed without issue. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

LinkNYC: Paving the Way for Smart Cities and Advertising
Dave Etherington, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Offer of Titan, speaking at SXSW (Image: Connie Rock)
What's the best thing about this city? It's not a pipe dream. With the LinkNYC project, key elements of this city are being designed now. The project was the key focus at a fascinating South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive panel discussion on Sunday.
During the discussion, Colin O'Donnell, Dave Etherington and Jeff Henckels, all of whom are involved with LinkNYC, outlined the project's vision. Billed as the "fastest and largest free municipal Wi-Fi deployment in the world" (up to gigabit speeds), LinkNYC is intended to be much more than that. According to O'Donnell, it's also the first of its kind data-driven advertising network. "We want content (ads, emergency messaging, community art) to be programmed by the people who are proximate to it. We also want to open up the business opportunity [to advertisers] to understand who's around you, so you can dynamically change the advertising," O'Donnell says.
Revenue from digital advertising, which will be targeted based on the aggregate demographics of the areas where the connection points are installed, will fund the project. In turn, the project is expected to generate anywhere from $500 million to $700 million for the city of New York over a period of 12 years (LinkNYC's media kit mentions $500 million, Etherington mentioned $700 million during the panel discussion).
New Experiences and Designs: Beyond Ads Pushed to Phones
Before this experience can be monetized, however, the industry must determine what is going to be considered valuable from the user standpoint. "We really have to grow up as an advertising and startup industry and not default to the laziest experience, which is to push an ad to your phone," Etherington says.
Although they didn't provide too many specifics on what that might mean for LinkNYC experience, all three panelists were enthusiastic about the value that smart cities can provide. As an example, through apps that enable visually impaired individuals to explore their cities, smart cities can be made to be more accessible to its residents. The data generated by sensors and other technologies can help city planners and others improve cities' services and operational efficiency. Sensors in large buildings could monitor the temperature in each unit, quickly detect whether there is an issue such as a malfunctioning boiler, and the information could then be communicated to technicians—all without the paperwork and other administrative overhead that often comes with such maintenance and repairs.
Design-wise, the possibilities are ripe for forward thinking, elegant industrial designs for smart cities. Masamichi Udagawa, who with Sigi Moeslinger designed the award-winning Help Point Intercom for New York City subway stations, is one designer who is already well versed in this space. The intercoms enable subway customers to contact agents at an emergency dispatch center and each is equipped with a built-in video camera.
Geeking Out on LTE Direct
Given the tech-savvy audience for the panel discussion and the fact that LTE Direct, a key emerging technology, will be used for LinkNYC, a major portion of the discussion was technical. LTE Direct is a device-to-device standard that will allow smartphones to communicate directly with other smartphones and beacons up to a 500-meter range, no cell towers needed. Think of it as next-gen Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), with much better range and scalability. While BLE takes minutes to discover hundreds and thousands of devices within range, LTE Direct, which should be generally available in mid-2016, can accomplish the same task in milliseconds, according to Henckels, Director of Strategy and Business Development at Qualcomm.
Colin O'Donnell, Founding Partner and Chief Operating Officer of Control Group, speaking at SXSW (Image: Connie Rock)
Also, while BLE uses private languages, LTE Direct uses a public language—in addition to private languages. With the ability to use public languages, LTE Direct provides new contextual capabilities. Beacons can emit public signals that can be indexed and made available to search engines. As a result, next-generation search will have a much better sense of context.
One disadvantage of LTE Direct is that it uses licensed spectrum, a barrier to entry and cost that BLE beacons don't have. And as with any wireless technology, privacy is also a concern. When asked about how privacy was being addressed in the LinkNYC project, O'Donnell stated that the project team has worked closely with the administration of mayor Bill de Blasio to ensure maximum privacy—a critical step, because as O'Donnell says, "If you've lost user trust, you've lost everything."
Proximity Technology: Making Smart Cities More Human-Friendly
New York City residents will be able to start roadtesting LinkNYC later this year. Production will start this summer, with the first few connection points to be installed in September. By the end of the year, a projected 200 connection points will be in place.
The ultimate goal behind projects such as LinkNYC and smart cities generally is to put technology in the service of human endeavors. As Henckels states, "Proximity is the next generation of Internet solutions. It's not just about the city. It's about all of you." It's about enabling experiences that let users keep their phones in their pocket rather than forcing users to stare at their phones. Or as O'Donnell puts it, "We have a beautiful world and we should appreciate it. Maybe with more context we can appreciate it more."
To update the old saying, perhaps it's proximity–not absence–that makes the heart grow fonder.

The school must delete all electronic and postal address and telephone number information relating to either work or home locations of the custodial parent from student records provided to non-custodial parents. In addition, such records must be marked to indicate that they shall not be used to enroll the student in another school.
Upon receipt of a court order that prohibits the distribution of information pursuant to MGL c. 71, §34H, the school shall notify the non-custodial parent that it shall cease to provide access to the student record to the non-custodial parent. | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

To Build a City: A Nashville Architect And His Quest2017-03-172017-03-22http://www.alivemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/logo_header.pngAlivehttp://alivemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/zeitlin-building.jpg200px200px
"I cry at movies. It's terrible," says Manuel Zeitlin, who has been one of Nashville's most celebrated architects for over 35 years. "Like 'The Holiday,' even. I'll be just bawling." Back in the early '80s, before he founded Manuel Zeitlin Architects, he was studying at Boston Architectural College when one film in particular incited a pang of homesickness. "I saw 'Hide in Plain Sight.' I never thought I'd move back home to Nashville, but I was on a plane 20 minutes later. The only thing I had was the book I had been reading on the subway. I ended up staying there for three weeks." He moved back to his hometown for good just a few months later, in the wintery December of 1980.
A storied firm isn't built overnight, and is often helped by an unlikely turn of events or two. Such is the case with this architect. In the time since Zeitlin took on his very first project, he has built a firm with 15 architects and a space in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville, which doubles as an art gallery. The firm's projects include a number of running themes, including homages to intuitive design and the beauty of imperfection. "I love a certain rawness. Almost like Native American blankets, how there's always something imperfect about them that keeps them from being completely finished," he says.
This specific design sensibility has informed the firm's creation of modern luxury homes and apartments, elegant restaurants, charter schools and university buildings. Zeitlin has also designed structures of vital importance to Nashville, including a 79-unit apartment community in the city's 12 South District, which is currently under construction, the Nashville Holocaust Memorial, and the original master plan for The Gulch neighborhood, one of the city's thriving cultural centers. A LEED-certified Green Neighborhood, The Gulch has transformed into one of the city's trendiest locales, home to boutique loft apartments, edgy retail hotspots, music venues and fine dining, which couldn't have been further from what it was when the architect first encountered it 18 years ago. "It was 37 acres of vacant land at the time. We worked on it for almost a year, sketching ideas. Our vision for it was a lot more raw than what it has become," he says.
Zeitlin's mission-focused projects often concern themselves with sustainability, mixed-income housing and urban farming. "A common thread in our work is creative projects with very low budgets. We've very rarely had a client say, 'Here, spend all our money.' It's usually, 'We have an impossibly low budget,'" he says, laughing. Despite these predilections, Zeitlin is emphatic that he and his team not fall into a rut. "We're constantly pushing boundaries, instead of doing one thing and being comfortable. Right now it's really important to make a difference. If we don't solve climate change, if we don't deal with equality—equity, rather—if we don't deal with these issues, buildings aren't going to matter a whole lot. Our office is really committed to that kind of involvement," he says.
One of Zeitlin's first projects in The Gulch was designing the Mercury View Lofts, which was once a two-story brick warehouse building. "Most developers would have torn that down," he says woefully. "We had the idea of building those lofts and letting the brick come through. Much of what has been done in cities like Nashville over the last four years has been wiping out something old to create something new, instead of keeping those buildings that give the city its fabric." The building now hosts 32 residential units, a bakery, an art gallery and a music hall. The architect believes part of what has contributed to the success of The Gulch are its elements of character, which were there before the area underwent revitalization. "Urban experience in that part of town didn't exist. The idea that you'd go down there for entertainment was beyond everyone's wildest dreams."
One might suppose that the kind of innovation required to transform 37 acres of blank space into a bustling urban center would entail thinking outside the box. "I don't even know what the box is," says Zeitlin. Admittedly, his process is unique—the way he works isn't for everyone. He once told a potential client, "If you're looking for something really slick, that's not us," and the client hired someone else. He also had an architect quit a project because they were 80% finished with working drawings for Vanderbilt University's Hillel Center, and Zeitlin had some additional changes. "I was looking at the drawings one day and said, 'This seems really unapproachable, the way this wall is. Let's open this up and make it more open to students.' [The architect] threw up his hands and said, 'I quit. We're never going to make any money if you keep changing things.' I was like, 'It's on paper, man. Now's the time to change!'" says Zeitlin, laughing about it now.
The architect has accepted this potential for collateral damage as part of the journey to artistic truth. On the other hand, this morning before our conversation he had spoken with the proprietors of The Turnip Truck, a modern grocery store he designed in East Nashville, to see if the project needed any tweaks. "You don't just create these objects and throw them out there. For me, it's really about relationships and building community," he says. This philosophy isn't compartmentalized within him. He and his wife, Janice Zeitlin, have been married for 32 years. She serves as vice president of The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, and also runs the art gallery that houses Zeitlin's firm. "We were both a little older when we met, so we weren't looking at the other person to fill voids in ourselves. We were our own people."
It was in his early undergraduate days at Washington University in St. Louis that he began to develop his signature working philosophy. He worked under architect Richard Claybour, who was in the process of designing single-family alternatives to public housing in St. Louis' JeffVanderLou neighborhood, which was full of abandoned homes at the time. Zeitlin spent a year of his early days as an architect measuring empty houses and stumbling upon hidden treasures. Many of the homes were built in the 1880's and had been abandoned, yet remained full of rich historical artifacts and personal documents. In one home he found the floor covered in almost an inch of old horseracing forms. "This guy that lived there was probably from a relatively wealthy family, and he'd go to the horse races, wasting all their money."
Upon returning home to Nashville from Boston in 1980, well before he started his own firm, Zeitlin got a job waiting tables at a Mexican restaurant while working on his final thesis project, which he had yet to finish. "Coming out of architecture school, you're socially inept. Really. You go to a party and stand next to another architecture student talking about some detail of the room—like, 'Look at that window.' Waiting tables, I learned how to talk to people about real stuff. That absolutely helped me with my firm," he says. One day as he was walking into work, he spotted a man inspecting one of the buildings in the neighborhood and asked if he was preparing to purchase it. A plastic surgeon, he hired Zeitlin to design the renovation of the building. He ended up using the attic as a work space for two years, free of charge.
"My dad was like, 'You ought to work for a big firm,'" Zeitlin remembers of the time. "But the architects I admired didn't necessarily work for big firms. They started out young and learned from their mistakes. When students email me and they want to get a job at an architecture firm over the summer or something, I tell them, 'Get a job waiting tables, or in retail. Travel. Go on an archaeological dig. Don't sit at an architecture firm. You don't know enough yet. Get out and live life."
As many of Zeitlin's projects have a strong mission underlying them, like solving climate change and creating mixed-income housing options, he has braced himself for the potential impact of the current presidential administration. The 2016 election results left Zeitlin aghast. "I think this incoming administration represents the worst of humanity, and I hope we can get beyond it," he says, unwavering. He was in Denver on the evening the election results came in, where he'd been with a few colleagues to see examples of charter schools as inspiration for a new project. Logically, they began drinking heavily. "When Hillary [Clinton] hit 48% of the votes, we ordered a drink in a giant ceramic fish with three straws. The next day we went to a charter school with the kids and they were talking about what they were feeling. They wanted to express their hopes, and their care for each other." It is Zeitlin's belief that working on schools and educational institutions is a way of enacting positive change in a world with no shortage of reasons to fear it. "Any peace anywhere comes from children," he says. "When you're wiping out Iraq and destroying the lives of children, there are going to be generations of people there who hate us. Peace comes from making children's lives better. Our small way of doing that is working on schools."
There's an Anne Frank quote that keeps Zeitlin going in the moments he is awakened by tragedy and injustice. "One of the quotes from her book is, 'In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.'" He marvels at how the young girl, who arguably experienced the worst that humanity can offer, still believed in its inherent good. "When she says that, it keeps you going: that belief that it is possible to solve things. Also, having two children [Anna, 30, and Nate, 28]—I don't have an alternative," the architect says, laughing ruefully. "You have to care, to try and make things better for them."

BkiUeRA4eIOjRzejsNgo | reflections on Kent State 1970
By tonynova September 21, 2014 News and Politics, Parenting
In 1970 the Ohio National Guard, armed with bayonets on M1 rifles, marched on and shot unarmed students at Kent State University who were engaged in a civil protest event that authorities had not approved. Although there were political agitators at Kent State that week, all of those shot were university students. I was only 9 years old at the time and did not hear about the story until perhaps months later. I recall that my mother did not wish to speak about the story with me; understandable given my age and the fact that I had younger siblings at home. The story never came up at my Catholic elementary school. Yet it was impossible for a kid to avoid hearing and thinking about the protest song "Ohio" over an over again on radio playlists. (My memory is unclear on whether the song played on AM of FM; this was a big distinction at that time. Philadelphia's wildly popular AM station WFIL played top 40 and emerging FM radio played a wider range including more "radical" music. It was this type of distinction that eventually pulled younger audiences from AM to FM music venues. At that time many kids had handheld AM radios we called "transistor radios" but FM, for me was only available through dad's stereo system in the living room). My only exposure to the Kent State news was discussion, usually with older kids, about the song and the underlying event. This event at Kent State – reinforced by the emotional power of the popular song – remained a sobering lesson for me about the limits, risks and consequences of social/political engagement. This thinking eventually led me to adopt the attitude that I would not let my behavior be guided away from taking the right position by a fear of the liabilities of taking the action.
Now, 44 years later it seems that few remember the actual story. I feel embarrassed and ashamed that many younger Americans know more about the controversial clothing line by Urban Outfitters than the true events that crushed the civil rights of freedom to protest on a college campus.
Civil protest will never be pretty. It might be as ugly as the clothing company's marketing. Sometimes there are staggering costs to freedom of expression; these costs can be far greater than the emotional toll of being blasted on social media platforms (as seems to be the extent of the social/political risks I take today). Yet civil protest will always be necessary among the free-thinking individuals in any society.

BkiUeBfxK7Tt522WbLyX | Two soldiers were killed in Yemen
Suspected al Qaeda gunmen kill two soldiers in Yemen's oil province.
Two Yemeni soldiers were killed and two wounded when they were ambushed while on patrol by suspected al Qaeda militants in the central province of Marib, a regional official said on Thursday.
Marib has most of Yemen's oil and gas fields and has long been a battleground between various factions, including local tribesmen, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) insurgents and government forces.
Now tribesmen say the province is subject to an advance by Iranian-allied Houthi fighters, who took over the capital Sanaa in September and brought about the collapse of the U.S.-backed government last week.
A CIA drone strike on a car in Yemen killed three suspected al Qaeda militants in Marib on Monday, the first since the Sanaa government stepped down, in a sign such U.S. operations will continue despite the political crisis.
Houthi leader Abdel-Malek al-Houthi said on Tuesday his movement was seeking a peaceful transfer of power after the resignation of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, and urged all Yemeni factions to work together to that end.

BkiUdVc4eIZjuBQZurCp | 4 Ways to Overcome Workplace Distractions - Treeline, Inc.
Written By: Sean Cashman, Senior Consultant at Treeline, Inc.
How many times have you been doing a task at work when…wait…oh, I have to take this call…I'll be right back.
…I'm back. Ok, I am focused on this…what am I focused on?! Oh, yeah – this blog.
So, I'll cut right to it. We live and work in a world of distractions. We are more accessible than ever before. Cell phones, smart phones, email, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and the list goes on. In the information age, we have access to endless amounts of data which is great but there is a catch…the data has access to us as well.
It was worth it…absolutely hysterical. Where was I?
The point of this blog is that it is more difficult than ever to complete the task at hand in one sitting. There are so many things pulling at us to for our attention that it can only be expected that we will be distracted from what we are trying to accomplish. Now, some people will argue that multitasking has been around for a while now and it is expected in the everyday workplace…I am not referring to typing an email as I talk on the phone.
I am talking about discipline to complete what you are working on before you move on to the next item up for business. How many times do you start a simple task and get distracted and when you come back to the incomplete task, it takes you twice as much time because you are trying to remember that the heck you were trying to accomplish…oh, the tangled web we weave.
Block off time and stick to your schedule. If you set aside an hour to make cold calls then stick to it. If you find yourself cleaning out your inbox in that hour, you are going to have to make up that time on the back end and we all know that there are not enough hours in the day.
Make a 'To Do List'. If you do not know what needs to be done, it is because you did not write it down…simple, yet very effective.
Eat the Frog. If you never read this book – go get it. If you have, you know what this means. Eating the frog is that task that we dread doing and we will avoid it at all costs. We end up looking for distractions in order to avoid eating the frog. If you eat the frog first, everything else you do will be easy in comparison.
Discipline. Stick to the plan. Set a task, set a deadline and stick to it. Ignore the emails, phone, Facebook posts, etc. Simply put, Get'er done.
I am not saying it is easy…it's not. I started this one page blog at 8:30AM and it is approaching lunch time. I am a fast typer and I find it relatively enjoyable to write. The reason it took me so long is because since I began writing, I have taken 7 phone calls, sent 13 emails, made 1 Facebook post, watched 3 YouTube videos and discussed current events with my colleagues.

Figure 1 Natural gas, the cleanest of all fossil fuels.
Table 1 Total Natural Gas Endowment.
The same factors that promote the formation of petroleum also help in the formation of natural gas. It is therefore expected that natural gas is found at locations near oil fields, often in association with petroleum (thus its name associated or dissolved gas). It is liberated when oil is brought to the surface in the same manner that carbon dioxide gas is liberated when someone opens a carbonated drink. If the gas diff uses through the pores of sedimentary rocks and accumulates in a reservoir other than the oil reservoir, the gas is called non-associated gas. Up to only a few decades ago, most natural gas discovered was flared off or reinjected into the ground, as it was considered to be of little use. Its use increased during the latter half of the twentieth century, as it proved to be a convenient and relatively clean fuel to be burned in gaseous burners for space heating and cooking (Figure 1).
Natural gas is primarily methane (CH4), but a certain percentage of heavier hydrocarbons such as ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butane (C4H10), and a small amount of pentane (C5H12) and hexane (C6H14) are also present. At normal temperature and pressure, pentane and hexane are liquid, but in elevated temperatures and pressures underground, they become gas and fl ow out with other gases. Commercial natural gas is primarily a mixture of methane and ethane. Th e propane and butane are liquefied and sold separately as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or "bottled" gas. For a long time, many producer countries used to burn natural gas at the well. Th is was very wasteful and caused huge environmental problems. Because of its lower density, it costs about four times as much to transport natural gas through pipelines as it does for crude oil; these gases are liquefied and shipped to their destinations as liquefied natural gas (LNG) in huge cryogenic containers aboard large tankers and ocean liners.

Reserves, and Resources
Table 2 World Proven Natural Gas Reserves.
Figure 2 The outlook for worldwide natural gas consumption.
The total amount of available natural gas is shown in Table 1. Roughly two-third of all natural gas reserves lie in Russia and the Middle East (Table 2). Th e United States with 193 trillion cubic feet has a little more than 3% of the world's natural gas reserves (1).
Because natural gas is relatively clean, its rate of consumption is increasing by an average of 2.8% annually, faster than other sources of fossil fuels (Figure 2). If consumption continues to grow at this rate, natural gas reserves remain available for another 75 years. However, this number is believed to be optimistic, as natural gas substitutes coal and petroleum in an effort to reduce the effect of greenhouse gases (2).
Besides wells, however, there are other sources of natural gas such as hydrates that if they could be extracted, would provide energy for many hundreds of years. Hydrates are icy deposits of crystallized natural gas and water, buried under the extreme pressures and cold temperatures of the deep oceans and Arctic permafrost that have been formed by the disintegration of certain bacteria. It is estimated that gigantic hydrate fields around the world contain twice the energy of all other forms of fossil fuels combined. These reserves are virtually untapped, as there are major obstacles that have to be overcome before the reserves can be accessed. Any major changes in temperature or pressure may be capable of breaking down the material, releasing huge amounts of methane – a very potent greenhouse gas (See box "Th e Deadly Lake") (a). The cost of extraction is prohibitively high and the natural gas, even if it is extracted, has to be transported thousands of miles from Arctic regions before it can be used. One solution is to convert it to liquid synthetic fuel, such as methanol, before it is sent through pipelines.
Converting natural gas to liquid first requires breaking its chemical bonds using steam, heat and a nickel-based catalyst to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen known as syngas. Th is process is called steam reforming. Syngas is then blown over various catalysts to transform it into gasoline, diesel, and other liquid hydrocarbons.

(a) A few petroleum geologists have gone so far as to blame the loss of ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle on sudden pulses of methane gas released from a hydrate layer below the Atlantic Ocean. As the ocean boils with a sudden squirt of methane bubbles, ships can be swallowed before having time to make distress calls, and plane engines might be choked by the rising plume of methane gas.

BkiUbEY5qsJBjkzifyPo | Last week I had a chance to dine and chat with Raku Hokkaido Ramen House's Chef C.K. Kalaw located at the heart of Salcedo Village, Makati City. I am lucky to taste the the restaurants delicious cuisines and felt like I am at Hokkaido, Japan's largest and northest prefectural-level subdivisions and a popular vacation of Japanese. From the interior with an apple green color and pieces of furniture that made of woods to the murals that features the Japanese culture.
Raku has a variety of Japanese cuisine that you would love to eat, I started my adventure from the line of ramen. They say that ramen taste came from its broth, assimilating the fermented miso into the soups provides a comforting, filling and flavorful experience. Raku has variations of the four basic ramen flavors: Shoyu (soy-based), Shio (salt), Tonkatsu (pork broth) and, of course, miso.
Served with characteristic Japanese minimalism on beautiful pottery imported straight from the inscrutable country, Raku is easily an authority on Japanese noodle preparation. However, it is worthy to note that you will be surprised the different noodle dishes bring consumers to a unique noodle experience.
Other must try dishes are Hiyashi Kani Ramen Salad (cold crab salad), Yakitori, Karei Karaage, and Chicken Teriyaki. You will never fail feeling like in Japan when you dine in Raku because Andrew Marasigan, the entrepreneur behind the Advent Manila restaurants, a former recipient of the Monbukagakusho (formerly Monbusho) Scholarship. He had to find work for his own spending money during his semester-long sojourn and found himself apprenticed at a ramen house and learn all about it and brought it here in our country.
Combined it with beverages and desserts that would make your meal a great and exciting finale like Apple Nectar, Almond Roca, Strawberry Cheesecake Mirukuseki and of course my favorite Coffee Jelly.Raku is a must try restaurant in the metro it will definitely provides its consumers with comforting and legitimate Hokkaido cuisine in a typical Japanese setting, but surprises them with a playful and impish after taste which lend a sense of blissful happiness and contentment. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUedLxK0wg09lKDjQD | Zeki Saritoprak, the Nursi Chair in Islamic Studies at John Carroll University, considers Fethullah Gülen to be one of the most influential Muslim Turkish scholars in the late 20th century, citing his contributions to education, aid organization and interfaith dialogue.
Gülen leads the Gülen movement, also known as Hizmet, which began in the 1960s. In his 2 p.m. Interfaith Lecture today in the Hall of Philosophy, Saritoprak will discuss the movement's significance, as well as religion and culture in Turkey.
"It can be argued that with the efforts of interfaith dialogue begun by Gülen and the movement in Turkey starting in the 1980s … the movement contributed to the growth of tolerance between different segments of society — particularly Jewish and Christian minorities," Saritoprak wrote in an email.
The Turkish political system is very secular, he said, with a constitution that prohibits headscarves in public school. But as 99 percent of Turkey's population is Muslim, Turkish culture is heavily influenced by Islamic traditions. This is seen particularly during events such as Ramadan.
Turks are very proud of their history, Saritoprak said, leading to heightened nationalism that actually goes against Islam.
Saritoprak describes the Gülen movement as one of the most important civic movements of the day. He points to it as a reason for the improvement of education in Turkey, as the movement runs more than 1,000 schools in Turkey and around the world. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Past performance is not indicative of future results and yields may vary. The "current annualized yield" of the Pool may, from time to time, be quoted in reports, literature and advertisements published by the Pool. Current annualized yield represents the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment income, in the value of a hypothetical account with a balance of one share (normally $1.00 per share) over a seven-day base period expressed as a percentage of the value of one share at the beginning of the seven-day period. This resulting net change in account value is then annualized by multiplying it by 365 and dividing the result by 7.
PLEASE NOTE: PFM Asset Management LLC ("PFMAM") succeeded Cutwater Asset Management ("Cutwater") as the NH PDIP Program Administrator and Investment Manager, effective August 3, 2015. Portfolio performance and expense information is from periods during which Cutwater was the Program Administrator and Investment Manager.

BkiUftY5qhDCd63mThDs | Hip-hop is a source of solace for voices that often go unheard and a celebration of resilience – made for and by black people. Australia's hip-hop scene however remains at odds with that. A quick look at mainstream radio plays and music charts is revealing of an intrinsically white and exclusionary hip-hop scene. White rappers have always been a point of contention – is it right, is it wrong, is it culturally appropriative?
Australia's fascination with American black culture isn't lost on me. Recently at Chance the Rapper's Melbourne show, rather than any local support acts we were treated to a haphazard playlist of rap tracks. When iTunes shuffle ticked over to Kendrick Lamar's 'Alright', the crowd transformed from a room of iPhone scrolling 20-somethings into an elated, sweaty mosh pit of white people screaming "we gon' be alright". I turned to my friend and said, "I'm going to take a guess and say they're already 'alright'". I watched as Kendrick's message fell on pale deaf ears. That same passion that they show for black culture doesn't translate into the investment and elevation of black hip-hop artists in Australia.
Once you delve beyond our mainstream charts there is a rich and deeply interconnected community of artists creating hip-hop that isn't serving lyrics about popping pills at Pyramid Rock. It's political; it dives into race issues, queer issues, trans issues, stories of anger and of joy. But why aren't they achieving the mainstream success they deserve?
The opinions I'm most interested in are of those who are overlooked, spoken over, and ignored – black women and black non-binary folk. I decided to speak with six of the country's finest hip-hop artists and get their thoughts on Australia's white hip-hop problem.
In Part 1, we hear from Miss Blanks and Kandere's Wahe Kavara and Lakyn Tarai.
Miss Blanks and I first met in Brisbane a few months ago. She spat some bars to me around 7am in a hotel room while we shared whiskey gifted to us by an Uber driver. Her career is only at its beginning stages but her witty lyrics and sharp tongue create magic that the hip-hop scene has desperately been needing.
Kandere is Wahe Kavara and Lakyn Tarai, a powerful meeting of two artists who consume and produce music in ways that challenge the staleness of the current scene. The first time I saw Kandere perform I was completely in awe of the way they filled the room with their energy which was profusely moving and even more than that, exciting. That led to me drunkenly approaching Wahe in the club one night to tell them they "were the best act" I'd seen all year. Luckily for me, they're still answering my emails.
"Hip-hop is a way of celebrating blackness and a culture that is beyond resilient. It's something that black people around the world have rejoiced in, cried tears into their pillows at night to and [many have] held their aunty's hand listening to Mary J Blige.
It was a revolutionary art form as it allowed black people to see reflections of their own beauty and power that are never portrayed in mainstream society. What does a white man have to fight for in Australia? A country based on genocide and colonialism of the first black people of this world. White culture is full of violence and cultural dominance, not resilience. White artists creating hip-hop and dominating over black artists is just another form of colonialism in my eyes. White hip-hop is not the soundtrack of political struggle of our times, when we are screaming at rallies we are playing Kendrick and Solange because it actually means something [to us].
We identify as non-binary, but we were socialised as black women and often get read in this music scene as women. I have no doubt it has lead to us being devalued as artists. I've seen a lot of other white artists rise up really quickly. I've been here for a decade but you weren't ready to see me until now.
Keep an eye out for Part 2, featuring views from Jesswar, Netti, and Kaylah Truth. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUeMzxK6-gDw5AwM8i | But some want to make a stricter decision in the months before the scientists who issue the test, setting a moratorium on new deer farms that can open in Minnesota and offer buyouts for existing ones.
Democratic-Farmer-Labor Lawmakers advocates of hunting and wildlife at a press conference on Monday, February 11, said they would bring bills that would fund the research of the University of Minnesota to create a device in able to detect neurological disease in deer.
There is no test at this point that can detect the disease in live deer. And there is no vaccine or antidote to get rid of it.
Chronic wasting disease has not yet been detected in humans. But scientists fear that the disease, which is like mad cow, could become a danger to humans if not kept under control.
"It's strange to have a buck fever and an impending sense of death at the same time," John Zanmiller, a member of the Bluffland Whitetails Association said. "This is a multi-tentacle beast, we can not beat it just by breaking one of the tentacles."
More than 30 cases of the disease were confirmed in Minnesota. In Wisconsin, thousands of cases have been reported. The disease affects deer, elk, caribou and elk and is always fatal.
"The idea is that we stop it before the whole state is a CWD zone," said representative Jamie Becker-Finn, DFL-Roseville. "We have to do some things immediately and treat them like the epidemic that is."
Funding for the management and research of additional CWDs to bring up a detection mechanism with bipartisan support to the Capitol.
Leading minority leader Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, last year asked scientists at the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Lab to conduct a test to detect CWD. And in an email shared with the Forum News service, the lab director said it was the "catalyst" to initiate meaningful research.
.8 million for scientists from the University of Minnesota to carry on the test.
"Because there are tensions", Davids confessed.
Davids said his legislative district is at the heart of the CWD epidemic and both deer hunters and deer breeders fear efforts to fight the disease and are worried about Becker-Finn's proposal to establish a moratorium on the opening of new deer farms to set up a buyout program to eliminate farms in Minnesota. The proposal would also restrict access to areas where deer were required to prevent the spread of prions, the mutated proteins that cause CWD.
Scientists have discovered that debris or deer carcasses can then transmit these prions to the soil and plants, where they can live for an indefinite period of time. | c4 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

String jsonBoards = json.toString();
Gson gson = new Gson();
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String,Object>();
map = (Map<String,Object>) gson.fromJson(jsonBoards, map.getClass());
But it doesn't get the job done. I need a way to get the boards name, title, and all the that information for each board. When I use map.get(); the key is "boards" but I want a map of every board and title and so on.
A: You need a class structure that maps your JSON data. You don't need to use a Map anywhere, since your JSON does not represent any map!
In fact it represents an object {...} that contains a field called "boards", which in turn represents an array [...] of objects {...}...
So the class structure that matches your JSON would be something like this (in pseudo-code):
class Response
List<Board> boards
class Board
String board
String title
int ws_board
int per_page
int pages
Then, in order to parse the JSON into your class structure, you just need to do this:
Gson gson = new Gson();
Response response = gson.fromJson(jsonBoards, Response.class);
So you'll have all the data of all your boards into:
String nameI = response.getBoards().get(i).getName();
String titleI = response.getBoards().get(i).getTitle();
//and so on...

BkiUcPTxaJJQnNCyfZUV | Ex-assistant of ousted lawmaker remains barred from legislature, despite internship with Civic Party
A student intern at Civic Party lawmaker Kwok Ka-ki's office – who was a former assistant to ousted lawmaker Yau Wai-ching – has been told he is barred from entering the legislature because an order to bar Yau's former assistants is still in place.
Wilson Li, 21, was an associate degree student at the City University of Hong Kong's public administration and management programme. He has to finish a student internship at a lawmaker's office assigned by the school in order to complete his studies. Li was supposed to start the internship on Tuesday at the Legislative Council Complex in Admiralty.

The legislature barred 13 assistants of ousted lawmaker Yau and Baggio Leung in November 2016 after the duo and some of the assistants tried to barge into a meeting room following Legislative Council President Andrew Leung's decision to bar them from attending meetings. Li did not participate in the action.
At the time, Yau and Leung faced a judicial review legal challenge filed by the government contesting the validity of their oaths of office as lawmakers. Last week, the duo and three assistants were jailed for four weeks over their actions.
Kwok told HKFP that he does not screen the identities of his student interns before they joined. However, he said the legislature's secretariat told him on Tuesday that Li was still barred from the LegCo building when he arrived to work at his office.
'Fight for justice'
Kwok said that the secretariat asked him to request that Li leave. But Kwok replied that Li was working and he should not be forced to leave immediately.
Kwok said that he will write to the LegCo Commission – a body formed of lawmakers to oversee administrative matters – to seek an explanation over how many members of the public were barred from the building. He will also urge for a lifting of the ban.
"The incident occurred in 2016, and it's now 2018 – why is the ban still in place?" he said. "I have a responsibility to fight for justice for them."
Kwok said Li will continue working at his district offices.

Li said he was very disappointed that he was still barred after a year and a half.
"I have been to many legislatures in foreign countries in the meantime – it is very ironic that I can't enter my own legislature," he told HKFP.
In response, the LegCo secretariat said the 13 people will be barred until further notice, in accordance with the LegCo Commission's decision on November 8, 2016.

BkiUa7A5qdmB62kgIZ_P | Casey Anthony's father, George, has broken his silence about his daughter's recent interview, in which she discusses her case and the death of her daughter, Caylee, at length for the first time.
"After years of silence, Casey Anthony has decided to complete an interview and has once again pointed to George Anthony, her father, as a suspect in the disappearance and death of his granddaughter, Caylee," George and his wife Cindy said in a statement.
Casey has been estranged from her parents since the trial, during which she argued not only that her father molested her, but also that he covered up Caylee's accidental death after drowning in the pool.
Relive Caylee's short life by checking out pictures of her in the gallery!
Caylee's official cause of death was ruled "death by undetermined causes," but the medical examiner ruled it a homicide.
In one of her first interviews since the trial, Casey said that she "sleeps pretty good at night."
Casey has also said that she thinks that, at 12, her daughter would "be a total badass" if she were alive today.
Since leaving the public eye, Casey has worked as an aspiring photographer.
Several people have shared their own theories on what happened to poor Caylee — Casey's one-time bodyguard said that Casey "absolutely" killed the toddler.
Even the judge in the case said he believes Casey may have "accidentally" killed her daughter. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
BkiUbE04eIXgu1jpCeRJ | The last few years of a bull market are always a bit of a mystery to professional investors; the market rose faster than it did in the early, cautious years when nobody believed there WAS a bull market, even though there appear to have been fewer fundamental or economic reasons for it. The current bull market churns on, even if nobody can explain it, and people who bail out in anticipation of a downturn do so at the risk of missing out on an untold number of months or years of (still somewhat inexplicable) possible gains.
One might imagine that the uncertainties around government policy and fundamental economic issues (failed attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and a promise to write a new tax code, for example) would spook investors. Yet the bull market sails on unperturbed.
How can this be? Because if you look past the headlines, the underlying fundamentals of our economy are still remarkably solid this deep into our long, slow economic expansion. Corporations reported a better-than-expected second quarter earnings season, with adjusted pretax profits reaching an annualized $2.12 trillion—which means that American business is still on sound footing. Unemployment continues to trend slowly downward and wages even more slowly upward. The economy as a whole grew at a 3.1% annualized rate in the second quarter, which is at least a percentage point higher than the recent averages and marks the fastest quarterly growth in two years. There is hope that the new tax package will prove as business-friendly as the Trump Administration is promising.
There are still potential speed-bumps down the road. The Trump Administration has threatened multiple trade wars with America's major trading partners: the NAFTA members Canada and Mexico, and with China. Tight immigration rules could lead to limited labor supplies.
It's hard to be pessimistic when your portfolio seems to grow incrementally every quarter. The current 12-year stretch of economic growth below 3% a year is America's longest on record. If the U.S. charts a prudent economic course, it's possible that the current expansion could at least set new records for longevity. This current expansion just turned 99 months old. The all-time record is 120 months, from 1991 to 2001. We may have to wait two more years for the next great buying opportunity in U.S. stocks. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUbjXxaL3SuhzLmqQO | Not involved in organising this but thought you might be interested.
LookLeft Magazine are pleased to invite you to the launch of our new issue, featuring a discussion on the topic of Realising a Left Alternative: Complementary Visions of Social Change. This discussion will be lead by Erik Olin Wright, the distinguished American Marxist scholar and author of books such as Envisioning Real Utopias, Gender Equality, Class Counts.
"I will contrast three broad strategic visions that have characterized the history of anti-capitalist social and political struggles: A ruptural vision, that imagines transcending capitalism through a fairly abrupt seizure of power that creates a disjuncture in the fundamental institutions and social structures of a society; an interstitial vision, that proposes building emancipatory alternatives inside of the existing society in whatever spaces make this possible; and a symbiotic vision, that imagines using the existing state as a way of solving problems in the functioning of capitalism in ways that also expand the scope of popular power. I will argue that these should be seen as complementary, not mutually exclusive."
In 1908, in London, at the Olympics, Irish American Martin Sheridan announced "This flag dips for no earthly king," when the US team paraded past the royal box.
"A fairly abrupt seizure of power" is a great turn of phrase. Whether ''fairly abrupt'' is an oxymoron or not is debatable, but I really do like it.
"How was the revolution for you, comrade?"
"Oh, fairly abrupt, fairly abrupt, comrade. A bit of a disjuncture, really." | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUeRXxK7IDOjusEih_ | Highly awaited blockchain Cosmos has finally launched an official live software. This blockchain is designed to enhance interoperability between any number of blockchains.
Mining of the first block of the project took place on Wednesday, along with the launch of Cosmos Hub, first of the multiple intended proof-of-stake blockchains created for the Cosmos ecosystem. The project was under planning and development for more than three years and is riding on enormous expectations. The concept of interlinking every blockchain was showcase first in 2016, following which cosmos raised around $16 million in its Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
Since the time concept was first showcased, Tendermint Inc., the core technology developer for Cosmos had been releasing beta versions of the project for developers. As of today, however, users still cannot hook to the Cosmos Hub yet as it is awaiting the official vote by validators to activate Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC). Once the formality is completed, users will be able to exchange tokens between several blockchains using Cosmos and even connect to the hub with existing blockchain networks.
Zaki Manian, Director of Tindermint Inc., stated that the company intends to pull the time taken for blockchain development to months from years. They want to completely transform the blockchain space, he added. Manian also claimed that the Cosmos Software Development Kit (SDK), released in February 2018, is currently being used by established players of the crypto blockchain space, like Binance Crypto Exchange.
Manian believes that Tendermint Core, the blockchain networking and consensus mechanism which backs Cosmos Hub, is another important tool which will help the company tackle obstacles in the way of innovation in the blockchain world. He also claimed that applying these tools will revamp the entire blockchain space for the finance sector.
Innovation has always been the key factor for the global success of blockchain. The launch of Cosmos Hub is a significant step from an industry perspective. The primary vision behind the new blockchain is to establish a broader ecosystem of stakeholders of token networks. On the other hand, Tindermint will continue to work towards enhancing cross-blockchain capabilities.
However, Manian believes that the concept is still quite new and will take a year to be utilised to its fullest. Commenting on the functionality and adoption, he stated that a set of operators is essential, for realising the ambitious vision, who have strong capabilities and experience in the blockchain space.
Validators in a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain differ in function from those in Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain, on which Bitcoin and Ethereum are based. In PoW blockchain, validators basically are miners who compete for block rewards by operating servers and shedding a substantial amount of electricity. While on the other hand, PoS validators are selected by the system metric to participate in blockchain creation.
At the launch, Manian told reporters that there were about 70 validators on Cosmos Hub committed to securing the network. Few of these validators are specifically focused on staking tokens as service in order to widen holder base of native network currency or ATOM tokens. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeBPxK7IDKzHWNT6c | What is Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)?
CSF is a clear, plasma-like fluid that circulates around the outside of the brain, in cavities within the brain (ventricles), and in the space surrounding the spinal cord.
Most CSF originates in the choroid plexus. The choroid plexus is composed of a mass of tiny blood vessels that are located in the third lateral and fourth ventricles. The remaining CSF, about 30%, is formed in other sites such as the subarachnoid space and the ependymal lining of the ventricles.
The volume of CSF in an adult is approximately 90-150 mL of CSF. Babies up to about four weeks of age have an average volume of 10 - 60 mL of CSF. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd6E5qYVBjcNb2Q3a | The only Playbook with this season's NBA Champions best plays.
A set of plays that can be implemented for every youth or professional team.
Steve Kerr's best basketball plays.
The NBA Golden State Warriors have been the most exciting team to watch throughout the season and the playoffs. Steve Kerr has turned the Warriors into the most efficient offensive system in the NBA by taking what he has learned from playing under Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich and creating a hybrid offense with quick scoring options for Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The NBA Golden State Warriors Quick Hitters Playbook features 65 high-efficiency offensive options to add to your own personal playbook.
The NBA Golden State Warriors Quick Hitters Playbook features 65 plays, over 70 pages. The playbook includes 57 man-to-man set plays, 1 Baseline Out-of-Bounds Play (BLOB), and 6 Sideline Out-of-Bounds Plays (SLOB).
All of the plays have been taken from the 2014-2015 season including the first two rounds of the playoffs. Most of the actions are relatively quick but provide several options for scoring. The Warriors have mastered the art of efficient offense this season. Not only did the Warriors finish with the best record in the NBA in the regular season (67-15), but the Warriors also led the league in Field Goal Percentage (47.8%), 3-Point Field Goal Percentage (39.8%), Assists Per Game (27.4), and Points Per Game (110.0). Steve Kerr took over the team in 2014 and helped the Warriors improve from 51 in 2013-2014 wins to 67 this past season. Kerr's influence from coaching legends Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich have allowed him to mold his team into an offensive juggernaut.
In addition, Curry and Thompson had a huge impact averaging over 45 points per game combined through the regular season. In this playbook, you will find that there are several sets and formations that Kerr likes to use. Some of the most frequently used sets include the Horns Set, a 5-out Spread Set, and a single post set. Perhaps what has made the Warriors so much fun to watch is the chemistry that the players have developed.
All five players seem to know where the open shot is going to be, and each individual is willing to make the extra pass to get the open shot. This is something we can all strive to develop as coaches, and with the help of this playbook hopefully, you can find some quick-hitting, high-efficiency scoring options to add to your team's attack!

BkiUagXxK1ThhAqzUGRE | I think it will be totally unbecoming of any senator to make that kind of a statement. By now, after 20 years, we should stop experimentation. We should start the proper culture, ethics and norms of the advanced democracy. Nigerians have given the APC the majority of the seats in the Senate. They therefore expect the APC to control the Senate. Nobody should therefore try to subvert the will of the people by trying to play any game or cause any division among the majority party such that the will of the people, freely expressed at the polls, could be subverted. I do not expect any member of the PDP to come out and contest leadership positions meant for the party with the majority seats on the day of inauguration of the 9th National Assembly.
All contestants on that day should be APC members. Since Nigerians deliberately voted for the APC to constitute the majority in the nation's parliament with about 64 senators, the contest for the leadership positions should be within the APC. The PDP should not interfere in it. The opposition party should not produce any candidate and its members should not contest on that day. That is the practice in the advanced democracies. No minority party plays any game to take over the majority when it did not win the highest number of seats during the general elections. Even if the APC is presenting three senators for the top position, I do not expect that the PDP will try to take advantage of the situation by sponsoring one of its members to contest the position of the Senate presidency. We don't want such attitude in the Senate. I think by now, we should have rules and develop proper democratic norms and values that would prevent us from doing what is not expected of us as a party and as members of a party.
It doesn't have to be written in the constitution or in the House rules. It is like running a parliamentary system of government; the party with the majority of seats in the legislature is expected to form the government and appoint senior members as ministers. Are you then saying that if there is a contest for the leadership of the parliament under that system, the opposition, which is the minority party, will now take advantage of a division to form a government? No, it doesn't happen that way. Even if there is a leadership challenge, like what happened during the time of Margaret Thatcher of Britain when John Major came in; the people rejected a particular leader but insisted that the new man must be the Prime Minister and the ministers must also be from the ruling party. What I expect is that, going forward, each party should have a Senate committee which will ensure that they control the majority in the federal parliament just like what they are doing in America, by raising money to sponsor candidates so that they can be in the majority in the Senate. We are not doing that in Nigeria but we are waiting to cut corners after the people have elected their choice.
What should your party do now to prevent the opposition from taking over the positions meant for the APC in the Senate?
My party would do everything possible within its powers not to allow the PDP to take advantage of the situation by presenting a candidate for the election on the floor of the House on the day of inauguration.
Your party has done this; but two other candidates have vowed to contest the seat of the Senate president on the inauguration day. How will you address this problem?
The two ranking senators have the right to say they want to be Senate president as long as they are APC members, more so when the position has been zoned to their area. However, I think we can always reach a compromise. It is a matter of give and take. I think the leadership of the party in the country should do well to assuage the feelings of those who might not have been favoured in the selection process. He should invite them and let them see reasons the interest of the party is more important than individual interests. When we protect the collective interests, individual privileges and interests can still be met.
Do you think any of your members wishing to contest the position of the Senate president on the day of inauguration should form an alliance with the opposition party?
Such situation is not within the control of any person. However, I do not expect a person contesting the seat of the Senate president to make a member of the opposition party his deputy in order to win the election. That would be a total betrayal. I expect that the party with the majority seats should produce the presiding officers. The principal officers are meant for the ruling party. That has been the situation in Nigeria up till 2015 when we had the aberration. It is high time we put a stop to such unholy collaboration when we would have a Senate president from the ruling party and a deputy from the minority party. What is currently happening in the eighth Senate temporarily halted the democratic tradition we were developing but we are trying to resuscitate it. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdHk5qoTA0iwhHGp5 | Junior Cressa Bronson colors and plays with the children at Hugar De Niños De Narzaret center. "This trip has not only made me a better person but has opened up a world of opportunity," Bronson said.
Junior Student Government Association members Cressa Bronson, Adriana Melendez and Sela Keating traveled to Puerto Rico Nov. 1-3 to volunteer at Hugar De Niños De Narzaret.
Hugar De Niños De Narzaret is a center that takes in children who are homeless, abused or neglected and provides them a place to sleep, food and educational opportunities. Bronson raised $1500 to buy toys for kids at the center.
As Sergeant of Arms of Jupiter's Student Government Association, Bronson was assigned a community service cause, or state project, for the year. She, along with her fellow leadership students, took on the responsibility to raise money and volunteer to help the cause. This year's Florida Associations of Student Councils picked hurricane relief in Puerto Rico.
"I didn't just want to do a clothing drive or send waters — I wanted to make a bigger impact," Bronson said.
While in Puerto Rico, the students got the opportunity to interact with the children at the center. They bought them coloring books, crayons, markers, new bikes and helmets.

BkiUdKE4dbggz-0vzx1N | China has decided to start on a trial basis to provide more rural financial products and services in nine provinces, the central bank said.
In a statement posted on its official website late Friday, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said it had joined hand with the China Banking Regulatory Commission to issue a guideline document, asking commercial banks to improve their financial services in rural areas.
PBOC said such financial services would be first started on trial in grain-producing areas and counties with solid economic development in six central provinces and three northeastern provinces.
The central bank required commercial banks to improve their service network in the countryside and divert more funds to support rural economic growth.
Chinese commercial banks were demanded to provide more petty-sum credit loans and group guarantee loans to farmers. They were also asked to create more loan guarantee methods.
The nine provinces were Anhui, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. PBOC said each province was allowed to select two or three county-level areas and allow commercial banks to start trial operation.
The decision was designed to push forward financial reform in the countryside and renovate the financial system in rural areas, which was stated in the communique adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 17th Communist Party of China Central Committee, according to the central bank.
The plenum, which focused on issues concerning rural reform and development and ended on Sunday, said in the communique it would strive to double the per-capita disposable income of rural residents by 2020 from the current level. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcpe6NNjgBvv4OTA9 | Commonly referred to as alimony, spousal support is one of the most misunderstood parts of a divorce settlement.

ANDERSON Family History
This interesting surname is of English and Scottish origin, and is a patronymic of the surname Andrew, which is derived from the personal name from the Greek "Andreas", a derivative of "andreios", manly, from "aner", man, male. This was the name of the first of Jesus Christ's disciples, and it is also the name of the patron saint of both Scotland and Russia. The personal name was first recorded as "Andreas" in the Domesday Book of 1086, and the surname was first recorded in Scotland with one John Andree, who was present at the perambulation of the boundaries of Kyrknes and Louchor in 1395...

Part 1 of 3) The Anderson name can be found in the British Isles, but one of its origins according to DNA is from the north-west coast of the Emerald Island. One Anderson story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup A1] can trace their origins to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. This Anderson surname origin is from a Northern Ui Neill [R1b-L513] tribe. The Cenél Eoghan and the tribes of Donegal conquered much of Ulster (Derry and Tyrone).
(Part 2 of 3) Cenél Eoghan will expand across northern Ireland with their cousins Cenél Conaill and the Northern Ui Neill between 500-800 BCE. The clans of Finn Valley have the same DNA as people from Gwynedd in Brittany. But how could this be?

BkiUdgk4eIXh2xqaXgTR | The most savage 'Game of Thrones' finale moment happened on 'Rick and Morty'
Rick and Morty - Rickshank Redemption screen capture! - adultswim.com
'Rick and Morty' fired some shots against 'Game of Thrones' Season 7 writing!
by Ankur Chopra
August 30, 2017 at 3:13 PM Updated on August 30, 2017 at 3:36 PM
Wubba Lubba Dub Dub! The season three of "Rick and Morty" has garnered immeasurable attention from its ever growing fan base. The only other show that seems to be gathering similar, if not equal attention is the season seven of the famed HBO masterpiece, "Game of Thrones." After the season finale of "Game of Thrones" this week, Adult Swim seems to have gone ahead and taken a shot at the show's writers, and we're here to give you the inside scoop on it.
Game of Roasts
It's quite certain now that the writing and script behind "Game of Thrones" this season took an authoritative turn, putting vigorously in fan administration and activity to the detriment of a vast number of the tonal and strategic substances set up by the arrangement's previous seasons.
All the while and in healthy comparison, it's been truly verifiable that "Rick And Morty's" written work has become some way or another shockingly better in its third season, mixing poignancy and stringent mind with an inexorably firm, sprawling science fiction universe, also wealthier character bends.
After this weekend's new "Rick and Morty" episode titled Rest and Ricklaxation, an "in memoriam" card showed up. The card read "The Writing on Game of Thrones [2011-2016]", which does seem like an obvious blow at HBO's colossally prominent show was gotten by a couple of keen eyed fans, some of whom trusted that this Game of Thrones knock-out was the result of Roiland and Harmon's comic drama. It isn't hard to imagine the two co-creators pulling off something of this sort.

So, what really happened?
A day after this satirical incident, Justin Roiland reached out to his followers on Twitter mentioning that he didn't have anything to do with it at all.
His announcement was re-tweeted by the official "Rick and Morty" Twitter account. Dan Harmon, who is presently taking a short break from Twitter, and did not remark on the guard.
Just FYI, we had nothing to do with the GOT adult swim bumper from last night. Didn't even notice it.
— Justin Roiland (@JustinRoiland) August 28, 2017
This clever disaster drew cheers and hollers from fans on the web, who took screenshots of the message in black and tweeted it, making it an overnight rage.
It might appear somewhat dreadful to incorporate the card, however, "Game of Thrones'" written work and pacing has been a state of conflict as far as season seven is concerned.
Fandoms like the ones of "Game of Thrones" are, for the most part, known for their outrage as many seemingly worship the show and its characters. Thus both "Rick And Morty" and Justin Roiland rushed to separate themselves from the chaos of what could have followed. On reaching out to Adult Swim to know what had happened, they confirmed that their team was behind the bump and wanted to be brutally honest about the seventh season's god awful writing.
We had nothing to do with that game of thrones bumper after last night's ep. We hadn't seen it, that was all @adultswim. We ❤️Thrones.

BkiUatLxK7ICUn2IXzKe | What It Means That Chinese Media Published Photos Of Hong Kong Protests
Published July 22, 2019 at 11:07 AM HST
State media in mainland China published photos of this weekend's protests in Hong Kong. That in and of itself might be a sign of Beijing's shifting strategy toward the island's pro-democracy movement. For some insight, we turn now to Michael Davis, global fellow at the Wilson Center's Asia Program.
MICHAEL DAVIS: Hello.
SHAPIRO: Until now, Chinese state media hadn't really been covering the protests. Why do you think they've changed their approach and are showing images now?
DAVIS: It's hard to say because they could signal, A, that they're sort of normalizing that this is happening and trying to put their version out. But it could also be a bad thing, depending on how this story is covered, whether they're kind of suggesting there's turmoil. That's the word, translated into English, they used to describe a condition under the Basic Law of Hong Kong where they could interfere when requested by the Hong Kong government, according to the Basic Law. I can't imagine the Hong Kong government wants to request such a thing. But then, the Hong Kong government is very submissive to Beijing, so who knows?
SHAPIRO: Right. Hong Kong's executive was hand-picked by Beijing.
DAVIS: Exactly.
SHAPIRO: And so far, Beijing has stood by that government led by Carrie Lam, letting Hong Kong control the protests and react to demonstrators. Why do you think Beijing has shown this kind of deference so far?
DAVIS: It's really in their interest to do so. Hong Kong is very - it's like a New York, if you will...
SHAPIRO: Right.
DAVIS: ...For China. Damaging it to the point where it cannot perform that task would be a great cost to Beijing. And a lot of Chinese businesses operate out of Hong Kong because the rule of law in Hong Kong is to their advantage in doing international deals.
SHAPIRO: Well, we just heard pro-democracy activist Nathan Law talk about attacks by triad gangsters working with Beijing. That's so far unsubstantiated, but there is a history there. Do you think Beijing is behind those attacks?
DAVIS: I'm not sure if Beijing is or whether it's Hong Kong itself. And there's every indication - and this is kind of the notorious history of Hong Kong - that there are these triad gangs and that they are especially in that area. And so there's little doubt in Hong Kong that these are triads or, you know, thugs, basically. Somebody has motivated them to do this. So there's all kinds of rumors going around the city that people are outraged.
DAVIS: So I think there are a lot of demands now for a thorough investigation of this conducted by an independent body that would be appointed.
SHAPIRO: You lived in Hong Kong until recently. As you saw this weekend's events turn violent, what went through your mind?
DAVIS: Oh, it scared me a lot. I mean, the legislator Lam Cheuk-ting, who was beaten up, is one of my former students.
SHAPIRO: Oh, wow.
DAVIS: I taught in Hong Kong for over 30 years. The journalists that are covering it - I know virtually all of them. And myself - I was a member of the Article 23 Concern Group. We led protests more than a decade ago over national security laws, and there we had a half-million protesters, but this protest now has exceeded that. Up until now, that was the largest protest after the handover in Hong Kong.
So what's really interesting to me, though, is that Hong Kong people have shown their backbone - that if the government of Hong Kong is not willing to defend Hong Kong's autonomy, it seems the people of Hong Kong are. And now what will Beijing do? Will it crack down on Hong Kong, or will it recognize the error of its ways? Well, stay tuned. But so far, it's shown no inclination to listen to the concerns that Hong Kong people have raised.
SHAPIRO: That is Michael Davis of the Wilson Center.
Thanks for joining us.
DAVIS: You're welcome.

BkiUbhA4uBhhxMtSg3u4 | Henrique out for Roar
Brisbane Roar will be without its Brazilian playmaker Henrique for up to two months due to a knee injury in what was a bitter post-script to Saturday night's 2-1 loss to Melbourne Victory at Etihad Stadium.
The 34-year-old, who has been one of the stars for the Roar in his first full-season in the Hyundai A-League having played every game so far in 2009/10 as well as having scored three goals, suffered a medial ligament injury in a crunching tackle by Victory defender Adrian Leijer in the 53rd minute.
To rub salt into Brisbane wounds, Leijer had not only already been booked but escaped a second yellow card and a sending off over the clash with Henrique before going on to score the winning goal in the 72nd minute to give Melbourne its first home win of the season and put the reigning Hyundai A-League champions on top of the ladder for the first time this season.
Henrique, who played with Dutch giants Feyenoord as recently as 2003, was eventually substituted in the 59th minute and Roar coach Frank Farina confirmed the seriousness of his injury post-match.
"Unfortunately we lost Henrique, that was the other negative out of tonight," Farina said after the loss.
"He will be out for six to eight weeks and that was the other disappointing part of the tackle (by Leijer)."
However Farina accepted the decision by the referee not to send Leijer off for the tackle on Henrique, which meant he stayed on the field to score the winning goal and his first goal for Melbourne in four seasons and his first since re-joining the club from English Premier League team Fulham earlier this season.
"The only problem I have (with Leijer staying on the pitch and escaping a second yellow card for the tackle on Henrique) is he scores the winning goal but then maybe someone else would have scored the winning goal anyway," Farina said.
"He (Leijer) had been booked already but I thought the referee had a great game to be honest."
Leijer's first yellow card came in the 36th minute following a push and shove match between nearly every member of both teams after Brisbane veteran Danny Tiatto had received a yellow card for blocking former Roar player Robbie Kruse off the ball.
Melbourne Victory coach Ernie Merrick said he felt Kruse came in for some unnecessary harsh treatment from his former side during Saturday night's game - a claim strenuously denied by Farina.
While Farina admitted his team had been outplayed - as Melbourne also hit the bar twice - Merrick was delighted with his team's third straight win, which puts the Victory back on top of the ladder - at least until the round is completed on Monday.
"To be honest I thought the score could have been better for us because we hit the post and we hit the cross bar and we could have scored three or four goals," Merrick said.
"We are taking our chances more and more people are getting involved in scoring goals and now we have got a centre-back (in Leijer) scoring goals."
Merrick said Leijer, a member of Victory's championship winning team in season two of the Hyundai A-League, was enjoying playing regular football again after not playing a single game during his two seasons with Fulham.
"It's just great to see Adrian improving week in, week out since he joined us again and he sure is enjoying playing full-time football again."
"We have been talking about Adrian getting into forward positions from corner kicks and it was terrific to see him scoring a goal." | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdn85qoYAv4ZEwXOc | Q: How to keep generated source code for proto files in bazel? I have studied https://blog.bazel.build/2017/02/27/protocol-buffers.html . The project I want to hack on is written in Go. At the moment, if I run the build command I can see the compiled binary but I don't see the *.pb.go files anywhere. I want to keep the generated *.pb.go files in the same folder where *.proto files are so that my IDE (Intellij Goland) can find and index them.
Can you please help me how to get this working? If you can show me how to do that for the github.com/cgrushko/proto_library project, I should be able to try that in my particular project.
A: Bazel will not output generated files (such as .pb.go) into the source tree. They go into the output directories (bazel-out/<config> or bazel-genfiles/<config>). Temporary solution might be to add those as source roots to goland. The real solution is to use https://ij.bazel.build/. It has some Go support, and the team is actively working on improving it.

BkiUdS45qsFAfvFfPHg2 | Houston Teens In Foster Care Need Adoptive Homes
Video Posted Jul 30 2018 10:23AM CDT
FOX 26 HOUSTON - Teenagers who age out of foster care at 18 face many challenges living on their own. In this month's Finding Families, Sally MacDonald introduces you to a teenage boy who hopes a family will give him a promising future.
We set up a friendly shoot around for Finn, 15, with Texas Southern University basketball star Cainan McClellane.
Finn turns 16 soon. Born in the United States, his parents abandoned him as a baby. He went to live with a grandma in Mexico, who also decided she couldn't take care of him. Two years ago, he wound up in foster care in Houston. Depelchin Children's Center wants to help Finn get adopted by a loving family.
He loves basketball and lights up when talking about his girlfriend.
The family who adopts Finn can qualify for adoption assistance. He also gets free college tuition and health care.
"We do provide counseling, support groups and other interventions to enable Finn and family to attach and establish a long lasting bond," said Atasha Kelley-Harris, Depelchin Children's Center.
To adopt Finn or any other child, email info@depelchin.org

As storm moved in, 1 couple moved up their wedding ceremony
By REBECCA SANTANA, Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - As New Orleans hunkered down ahead of Tropical Storm Barry Friday, news photographers from across the city could be found together in a church, witnessing the wedding of one of their own.
Associated Press photographer Gerald Herbert and Lucy Sikes weren't supposed to get married Friday night. Invitations sent out months ago were for a Saturday night wedding at the Mater Dolorosa Catholic Church, followed by a reception at the art-deco-style restaurant at the city's Lakefront Airport.
The location was an homage to how Herbert had learned to fly so he could commute to Shreveport in northern Louisiana to visit his now-wife, an attorney. But the airport was also outside the city's floodwalls . | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUd8c5qoTBCaJeCKGM | Obama Hails Taliban Leader's Death As 'Milestone' For Peace
Mullah Akthar Mansur is seen in this undated handout photograph by the Taliban
U.S. President Barack Obama has confirmed that Taliban leader Mullah Akthar Mansur had been killed, hailing his death as an "important milestone" in efforts to bring peace to Afghanistan.
"We have removed the leader of an organization that has continued to plot against and unleash attacks on American and Coalition forces, to wage war against the Afghan people, and align itself with extremist groups like Al-Qaeda," Obama said in a May 23 statement.
Afghan authorities say Mansur was killed early on May 21 in a U.S. drone attack in the southwestern Pakistani province of Balochistan, just over the border with Afghanistan.
Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour (file photo)
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry criticized the attack as a violation of its sovereignty, saying the United States did not inform Islamabad before conducting the strike.
Mansur was declared the leader of the Taliban in July 2015.
That announcement came days after the Afghan government confirmed that Taliban spiritual leader Mullah Mohammad Omar had died in the Pakistani port city of Karachi two years earlier.

Please always keep these safety tips in your watercraft or boat and make sure that you and everyone aboard understands them all prior to leaving dock and observes them once out on the water.
Know and understand all operational features of the craft you are riding – read and follow your Operator's Guide.
Ensure your watercraft is Coast Guard-compliant and has all required equipment.
Securely attach engine cutoff lanyard to your wrist or Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Keep attached at all times.
A wet suit bottom or thick, tightly woven, snug-fitting clothing that provides equivalent protection. Thin bike shorts for example would not be appropriate. Severe internal injuries can occur if water is forced into body cavities as a result of falling into water or being near jet thrust nozzle.
Normal swim wear does not adequately protect against forceful water entry into the lower body opening(s) of males or females.
Footwear, gloves and goggles/glasses are also recommended. Some type of lightweight, flexible foot protection is recommended. This will help reduce possible injury, should you step on sharp underwater objects.
Know your vessel's capacity – don't overload.
Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. Constantly look in all directions for skiers, divers, swimmers and other boats or watercraft.
Keep a safe distance! Avoid wake jumping, splashing and passing close to any other vessels.
Know the waters you will be operating in and observe all applicable federal, state and local boating laws.
Know the weather conditions – tune into your local forecast.
Stay clear of all restricted areas.
Obey ALL posted signs, such as "NO WAKE," "RIGHT OF WAY," "IDLE" and other navigation signs.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating a watercraft or boat.
All operators must be of legal age to operate the craft you will be riding.
BRP recommends a minimum operator of 16 years of age to ride.
Always operate at a safe speed and be prepared to stop or alter course in emergencies. Ride within your limits and allow sufficient distance to stop.
Whether you're heading in or out, always maintain a slow speed until you're in a clear area, away from shore.
Know and understand right-of-way rules.
Remember you need throttle power to steer.
Stay in sight of shore but avoid operating too close to residential and congested areas. Be considerate of others who share the waterways.
A boating safety course is strongly recommended. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 |

BkiUf8XxK7FjYAb_9qDI | Sunlight, sherbet and soil – just a few of the things we've encountered over the last few weeks at our Science Clubs. We get together after school for fun with hands-on STEM activities, with years 7-8 and years 9 – 11 meeting on different days of the week.
The main focus of the year 7-8 group since Christmas has been the Bronze CREST Award with the 35 members of the club dividing up into small teams, investigating topics as diverse as "Do people prefer certainty or surprise?", "Which type of paint is best for a pendant?" or "What would life be like without minerals?". This particular project was taken from the MP Futures CREST project ideas.
Projects involving food were also popular and everyone enjoyed being subjects in the taste test experiments, especially the ones involving chocolate.
Once the research was complete the teams worked hard on their reports and gave presentations to a packed audience including teachers, parents and STEM ambassadors from local companies. The quality of the presentations and of the questions from the audience was amazing! We're looking forward to taking two of the Bronze CREST projects to a regional Big Bang Science fair in July.
To celebrate successful completion of everyone's award we had a party which included making our own sherbet. A few of the girls wondered what would happen if sherbet was added to a fizzy drink. The resulting eruption from their cup was both messy and spectacular! Luckily there were plenty of paper towels to hand. To continue the theme of mixing household chemicals we will be making our own watercolour paints as well as slime and fire extinguishers in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile Senior Science Club has been getting involved with three very different projects. They have been out on the school field, digging up squares of soil and counting all the worms and other invertebrates living there as well as recording all the bird species landing on the field. This is part of a national project led by the BTO to investigate the decline in certain bird species cross the UK. On sunny days we've been outside again, looking at how much ultraviolet light gets through certain fabrics or sunscreens as part of this year's RSC global experiment. The cry of "three, two, one and sunbathe!" as they go out in the sun for each experiment makes us all smile.
On cloudy days we have been precipitating calcium carbonate under different conditions to make samples which will be examined by diffraction at the Diamond Light Source. We are lucky to be close to this national synchrotron science facility and are working with scientists there on a project looking at limestone and fossils. This week the girls learned how to get their powder into a sample tube only 0.5mm in diameter by using an electric toothbrush to help shake the powder down. We discovered it can take half an hour to get just 0.04g into the tube – quite a challenge for any impatient members of the group! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Polar stratospheric clouds over Kiruna, Sweden during SOLVE
A blanket of ozone high above Earth's surface is critical for life, absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun that would otherwise damage cells of both plants and animals. This "stratospheric ozone layer," which resides between approximately 10 and 50 kilometers (6 and 30 miles) high, can be destroyed by some human-made gases – chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), for example.
CSD groups involved in ozone layer research
Regional Chemical Modeling: model studies, data interpretation, field campaigns
Chemical Processes & Instrument Development: laboratory studies
Atmospheric Composition & Chemical Processes: airborne observations, data interpretation
Chemistry & Climate Processes: model studies, data interpretation, field campaigns
CSD scientists have led international efforts to understand the chemical and related processes that lead to ozone depletion and ozone recovery. Results from more than two decades of laboratory work, field research, and computer modeling help scientists clarify the effects of people's actions (the use of ozone-depleting chemicals in spray cans and air conditioners, for example) and policies (restrictions in the production of certain chemicals) on Earth's protective stratospheric ozone layer.
Today, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (updated many times since its original passage in 1987) incorporates many of CSD's scientific findings. In support of the Montreal Protocol, CSD researchers work with international colleagues, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to periodically update governments on the latest scientific understanding of the ozone layer. The quadrennial report, Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion, compiled from the work of hundreds of researchers representing dozens of countries and subjected to a formal review process, is coordinated and prepared at CSD prior to publication under the auspices of the WMO and UNEP.

Also as important is to enjoy every moment with your family and be aware of the little things. Something I try to do every time I say bye to them, I try to make it meaningful. I always have in mind that many of the people that were at the WTC probably didn't say goodbye to their loved ones, and I always think of that.

BkiUdlY4uBhi551MkEXG | MapReduce Utility
## What
Utility that calls one or more `map()` and `reduce()` functions over a series of
data.
## Install
```shell
npm install mattsacks/collect.js
bower install mattsacks/collect.js
```
## Setup
Only the `collect()` function is exposed.
In node:
```javascript
var collect = require('collect');
```
In the browser:
```html
<body>
...
<script src="collect.min.js"></script>
</body>
```
## Docs
`collect(data, maps[, options])`
The main function, it takes in a dataset and over each item, it runs a `map` and
`reduce` function found for each key in `maps`.
* `data` (Array, Object): A series of data to run `map` and `reduce`
functions on.
* `maps` (Object): An object with either a top-level `map` and/or `reduce`
function defined, or a `map` and/or `reduce` function defined for each key.
* `options` (_optional_ Object): a hash of options. Currently unused.
## Speed
`O(n * (number of map and reduce functions defined))`
## Example
```javascript
var data = [0, 1, 2];
var maps = {
plusOne: {
map: function(x, i) {
return x + 1;
}
},
sum: {
reduce: function(result, current, x, i) {
return result == null ? current : result + current;
}
}
};
collect(data, maps); // { plusOne: [1, 2, 3], sum: 3 }
maps.plusOneSum = {
map: maps.plusOne.map,
reduce: function(result, current) {
return result + current;
},
init: 0 // initial value for result
};
collect(data, maps); // { plusOne: [1, 2, 3], sum: 3, plusOneSum: 6 }
collect(data, maps.plusOneSum); // 6
```
## Advanced
#### Reduce on mapped data
```javascript
var data = [0, 1, 2];
// Reference existing maps within
var maps = {
plusOne: {
map: function(x) {
return x + 1;
}
},
sum: {
data: 'plusOne',
reduce: function(result, current) {
return result + current;
},
init: 0
},
times: {
data: 'plusOne',
reduce: function(result, current) {
return result * current;
},
init: 1
}
};
collect(data, maps); // { plusOne: [1, 2, 3], sum: 6, times: 6 };
```
#### Reduce from a reduced result
```javascript
var data = [0, 1, 2];
// Init from the result of another reduce
var maps = {
plusOneSum: {
map: function(x) {
return x + 1;
},
reduce: function(result, current) {
return result + current;
},
init: 0
},
sumPlusOneSum: {
// 6 + 0 + 1 + 2
reduce: function(result, current) {
return result + current;
},
init: 'plusOneSum'
}
};
collect(data, maps); // { plusOneSum: 6, sumPlusOneSum: 9 }
```
#### Context inside of maps
```javascript
var data = [0, 1, 2];
// Reference existing maps within
var maps = {
plusOne: {
map: function(x) {
return x + 1;
}
},
arrays: {
data: 'plusOne',
reduce: function(result, current) {
result.push(this);
return result;
},
init: []
}
};
collect(data, maps);
// {
// plusOne: [1, 2, 3],
// arrays: [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]
// }
```

BkiUdsHxK4tBVicoDK6r | SpaceX has re-aligned its schedule for the return to flight of the Falcon 9 rocket, also coinciding with the premiere of the Full Thrust version of the launch vehicle. The company plans to conduct one launch before the year is out, currently targeting December 16 for the usual Static Fire Test to clear the rocket for liftoff on the 19th with a payload of 11 Orbcomm Second Generation satellites. To follow in the first weeks of the new year is a Dragon cargo mission to the International Space Station, the launch of the Jason-3 satellite from Vandenberg and the first GTO mission of the Full Thrust Falcon 9, lofting the SES-9 communications satellite.
Falcon 9 suffered its first launch failure in June when a structural failure of a strut holding a high-pressure Helium bottle led to the uncontrolled release of pressurant gas into the second stage's Liquid Oxygen tank that, as a result, suffered a structural failure causing the rocket's forward section to disintegrate. SpaceX traced the issue back to sub-standard steel in some of the struts used to hold the Helium bottles in place. As a corrective measure, SpaceX decided to switch to higher-strength struts from a different manufacturer on both stages of the rocket before returning Falcon 9 to flight.
The goal of this latest evolutionary step of the Falcon 9 is to squeeze the maximum possible performance out of the launch vehicle and its engines to enable the launcher to carry heavy satellites to Geostationary Transfer Orbit while saving enough propellants for the propulsive return to Earth for re-usability of the first stage that will significantly reduce the cost of future missions, SpaceX hopes.
The most notable changes on the Full Thrust version of Falcon 9 include the use of densified propellant on both stages, a change in tank sizes, a slight stretch of the interstage and second stage length, modifications in the thrust structure, weight-reduction measures and the operation of the Merlin 1D engine at its Full Thrust Setting. Falcon 9 v1.1 operated the engines at a conservative thrust level with plenty of margin that is being utilized as part of the FT upgrade to increase the performance of the rocket by approximately 33%.
1) OG2 Flight 2 is up on December 19 after slipping from an initial late November target. This date has been confirmed by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk through Twitter and a press release issued by Orbcomm, indicating that items responsible for the delays of the flight have been closed out.
2) Dragon SpX-8 stands at a NET (No Earlier Than) target of January 8 but is subject to the fluidity in both, the schedule of the International Space Station and the Falcon 9 launch manifest. The current understanding is that Dragon will take flight in February to clear the January time frame for an ISS repair spacewalk.
3) NOAA announced on Friday that the Jason-3 satellite is aiming for a Vandenberg liftoff on January 17, 2016 at 10:42 a.m. local time. This will be the final flight of the Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket and the second launch from Falcon's west coast launch pad after the inaugural flight of the v1.1 version of Falcon 9 in 2013.
4) SES announced on Thursday that the SES-9 satellite has arrived at Cape Canaveral, being delivered from its manufacturer Boeing Satellite Systems. The launch is expected in mid-January and will be the first mission that actually requires the full performance of the Falcon 9 FT rocket.
The OG2 launch campaign has reached an advanced stage as the payloads and launch vehicle have entered their final processing steps. In preparation for the debut of Falcon 9 FT, the first stage of this vehicle underwent an initial short-duration test firing at the McGregor Test Site in Texas in September followed by a full-duration test in October before the booster made its way to Cape Canaveral. The second stage also went through testing in Texas before proceeding to the launch site.
By the end of November, satellite builder Sierra Nevada Corporation finished the delivery of the eleven 172-Kilogram OG2 satellites for final processing and installation on the Moog Inc. payload adapter stack.
The first six OG2 satellites headed into orbit last year and this launch aims to fully establish the second generation of Orbcomm satellites primarily used for machine-to-machine communications for all branches of industry on a global scale in a store-and-forward architecture for the relay of small data packets.
Taking it one step further, SpaceX not only aims to return Falcon 9 to flight and inaugurate the FT version of the launcher, the company also hopes to be able to return the first stage of the rocket to Landing Complex 1, formerly known as Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 13 where SpaceX has been establishing flat concrete pads for the on-shore landing of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rocket stages. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfxPxK7FjYEB4X6cJ | In Farmington explosion's aftermath, 30 people seek new housing
Eleven homes have been destroyed after the LEAP building exploded yesterday morning, leaving 30 people homeless.

FARMINGTON — A family living at the mobile home park behind a building that exploded Monday morning made it out seconds before the side of its house collapsed.
Scott MacLean, one of 30 people who lost homes in the blast, started his day playing video games in the living room with his younger brother, Jacob when chaos erupted outside their mobile home.
The explosion, which he described as a "sandstorm," was followed by a large boom and flying glass.
Fire captain killed, 6 other firefighters injured in propane explosion in Farmington
In the next seconds, MacLean scrambled to check on his brother, who had left the room, and his girlfriend, Kelsey Parlin, who was asleep in the bedroom. She escaped just before the wall of the house collapsed onto the bed.
"We all got out with just scrapes and no major injuries," MacLean said. "This has just been traumatic."
The explosion apparently was caused by a propane gas leak. The building was owned by LEAP, which stands for Life Enrichment Advancing People, a nonprofit that provides services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The building was evacuated because of a strong odor of gas at 8:07 a.m., and the explosion happened at 8:28, with firefighters in the building. Capt. Michael Bell, 68, was killed by the blast, and seven others were injured.
Six were firefighters and one, Larry Lord of Jay, is a LEAP employee. One firefighter, Deputy Fire Chief Clyde Ross, was treated at and released from Franklin Memorial Hospital on Monday.
Five firefighters were being treated for serious injuries at Maine Medical Center in Portland. Lord was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where he was listed in critical condition.

The injured have been transported to multiple hospitals in Maine and Massachusetts. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
The explosion flattened the entire LEAP facility and destroyed the 11 homes in an adjacent mobile home park.
According to MacLean's landlord, Randy Dean, all 30 of the people who lived in the 11 homes have been displaced. While the properties are insured, Dean was concerned they are being forgotten in the wake of the devastation.
"Many of these people are living paycheck to paycheck," Dean said. "I hope that they're not forgotten in all of this."
Following the explosion, MacLean gathered his brother and girlfriend and went searching for the family's dog, which he later learned was with his mother, Betty. Once they all determined they were OK, MacLean led them outside. He waited on the side of his road for family to arrive and met with American Red Cross staff, who gave them money for food, shelter and clothing.
"We were only able to get back into the house to grab our safe," MacLean said. "We were not allowed to grab anything else on our way out. We're still not sure if we will be allowed back in to retrieve what is left."

The American Red Cross said Tuesday it had been working with 10 people displaced by the explosion to ensure they have food and shelter. Dean's concern, however, is these services are only extended for a few days and no long-term plan has been established.
"I am just thankful that all of my tenants do not have any serious injuries," Dean said. "Many of them were home and present at the time of the explosion. My heart goes out to all of the first responders and families that have been affected by this devastation."
For now, MacLean said he and his family are taking things day by day.
"Our priority is to find new housing," he said. "(Dean) is looking to see if our trailer can be salvaged. Our permanent living situation is up in the air, and we are looking to find a home that will work for the five of us."
The United Way of the Tri-Valley Area said Tuesday it had established a way to help those affected by the explosion. The United Way said it would direct any monetary donations directly to LEAP and those affected.
Donations can be made online at uwtva.org, or via mail at P.O. Box 126, Farmington, ME 04938, or at the United Way's office at 218 Fairbanks Road in Farmington.
