I wouldn't mind not recieving. My ex would never let me down there because she wouldn't return the favor. Ok if you do Not like to give oral sex explain why an do you expect it in return? Posted: 4/29/2015 11:27:35 PM If a woman doesn't like to give bjs, it grosses her out, etc I don't mind giving to her things don't have to be tit for tat Eckhartwarmingtolle I was once with a woman who loved to give but had no interest in receiving. To some guys this would be 7th heaven but it left me feeling like a HUGE part of the equation was missing. InnerGorilla That's horrible dude. There's a technique that turns them around. First you stop penetration and while holding her legs by close to the knees you pull towards her body, which brings her v closer, you give her a quick fellacio, then bring her back down and pump her only once, pull out completely, look at her in the eyes, go down on her again for 4 seconds, give her another pump. Repeat several times, very, very, very slow. If she is not screaming in ecstasy by now, it means she wants you go keep going down on her. IG wrote Thanks for the above remedy but in all honesty I'd much rather be with a woman who LOVES to receive from the get go. I've been with both type of women and the latter is in the same key as me bedroom wise. So, the next time I'm with a woman and realize she has no interest in receiving I'll be hailing the waiter for the tab, so to speak. I'll be hailing the waiter for the tab, so to speak. Is this means you two would be in public? Going down on her? Nice. I knew a woman that would take her panties off while sitting at the booth or table. Then she would grab my hand and guide it. I love decking out and going to the Ballet. Axis555 I don't know what all the hype about oral is about, I just don't think it's that great honestly. I don't really like giving and don't really like receiving. When actual sex feel better, it's like, WHY do oral? Receiving doesn't do anything for me, other than make me feel awkwardly self conscious. I'd prefer to give it but even then it's not something I'd want to jump into because it's more selfless and I'd feel like I don't respect myself if I did it too soon in a relationship/dating so only reserved for long term actual relationships and after a while of building trust. Tarnished_Knight I suppose it would be akin to arguing that why do other positions of intercourse if man on top feels good. Why even try woman on top, rear entry, sideways, sitting, standing, in the shower, etc. Why even segue from a relaxing massage to an erotic massage to manual stimulation to oral to penetration? Why limit yourself to only one experience when a whole panoply of experiences and sensations COULD be yours? Why would receiving make you awkwardly self conscious? Other than size and shape we're all about the same. Roll with the flow, enjoy the gift; return the same. As for actual sex being better: oral is only different, it's all sex. It's all about giving and being given to. Between a loving, encouraging, consensual couple why place bounds where none need be (baring acts that could be harmful, denigrating, humiliating, etc.) [damn, I miss that. All of that] Well said dude. The thing is. I used to not like receiving oral. Why? It could never make me come. Why? I have no idea. Because of that, I always let her do a little bit of it and then move on. Then while having a good conversation about it, she told me that SHE enjoys it not because I want it, but because she enjoys it. That was a huge paradigm shift. This was her fun, not mine. Why take away her lollypop, her fun away. So since then I began to enjoy it even more and let her go to town whenever she wants. drinkthesunwithmyface My best experience with going down on a woman is when she is instead on top of me, and she has to do most of the work, doing what she needs to do however she likes it, like she's taking it instead of just receiving it. If a woman isn't sure that she likes receiving, I'd say to just somehow get her to do it like this and to feel comfortable and free enough to be proactive in this way instead of just receptive. Might seem counterintuitive - being able to get her all the way to that act when she doesn't really want to even receive in the first place - but I figure that if you can get that to happen, via whatever persuasive/seductive route, then she'll change her mind and be hooked. And by the way...why do it when intercourse is just fine enough? Have a woman do this to you - be given permission to do it however she likes and be required to do all the work in order to get any pleasure. If you don't find yourself loving it as a man, I don't know what else to tell ya. south_city I have been with women that liked giving better than receiving. It was a non-factor either way. I have no giving oral. Provided that she doesn't smell down there. But I wouldn't be disappointed because she didn't like it. Typo on previous post. I have been with women that liked giving better than receiving. It was a non-factor either way. I have no problems giving oral. Provided that she doesn't smell down there. But I wouldn't be disappointed because she didn't like it. And by the way...why do it when intercourse is just fine enough? Dude, this is the best time to disrupt the routine. Imagine you are doing your woman really hard, she is at the edge, doing a little moaning or making noises and you're about do explode. Stop. Do not explode. Pull out. Look at her and notice that she is so wet, it's like you came already. Now plunge into that wetness and if she was enjoying the penetration, now she is going to enjoy her clit going crazy. ^ I was repeating the question posed by another, and answering it.

If you don't find yourself loving it as a man, I don't know what else to tell ya. Good answer drink. The key word is the "given permission." There's a point that one or the other gives the other permission to do as they wish and to do the work at hand. I love to take over a woman and turn her around, move her, penetrate her, come out and turn her around and enjoy her whole body. But I also love it when she takes over. It's up to her for anything to happen, whether is her going down on me, or her getting on top, or her getting doggy style but she does all the thrusting. She is in charge of her own penetration and points of satisfaction. Now that I can finally respond ( got paralyzed by the good ol' no more than 2 in 10 post rule yesterday ) .... An alternative to the ranch dip perhaps ? LetitiaLeGrande I am not a fan of the blow job with anyone I don't really love and am involved with. I have found many men were happy to give me oral and without expecting a return favour. Maybe I have been lucky lol!! I would never ask for the favour and it when it was offered, I enjoyed it, so why not.. InnerGorrilla - Each person has that one thing or few things which really gets their motor running...just thinking of this, doing it in this particular way, is one of mine. I may hafta go offline for a while. newoldgirl I enjoy both giving and receiving. I've never been unfortunate enough to be with a man who didn't like giving oral sex. I did date one fellow who didn't care much for bjs but it didn't slow us down much. Honestly, I am selfish enough to say it would really bug me if he wouldn't give oral. It's hard for me to imagine the sex would be really great without it, and I think great sex is right near the top of the "must haves" list for a strong relationship. GattoMonstrosis My rule of thumb is never ask anyone to do something to you that you're not prepared to do to them, or to let you do something that you refuse to have done to you. platypus_man Posted: 5/6/2015 10:19:11 AM OK, this does not apply to me, as I love going down on women. But I have two friends who won't, or simply really, really don't like it. I suppose that it's because they were brought up to believe that anything 'down there' is dirty. After all, we're told as soon as we can understand, to wash our hands after every time we go to the bathroom, right? Why? Because the old school idea was that anything that came out of us was waste, and potentially dangerous to our health. Despite the fact that we now know the facts better than that, if you grew up with that idea, it can become part of your core beliefs just like religions. So there are still a few 'dinosaurs' out there that simply really feel uncomfortable with oral sex, and that stands for both sexes. Which is fine. Let them date each other, and those of us who like to give and receive oral, we'll take care of the rest of the population. Now, why do some men feel entitled to oral even if they won't do it? Simple. They believe that sex is a commodity, and if they're paying a woman's way, they think that those women should do whatever they want sexually. A lot of people, men and women, are still living with 19th century ideals. I have two friends who won't, or simply really, really don't like it.

After all, we're told as soon as we can understand, to wash our hands after every time we go to the bathroom, right? Why?

It's like " I'm SO into you that I WANT to drown in your germs ! " Siennarh Lol very funny I think it really depends on my mood with this kind of stuff. I don't like receiving that much simply because it doesn't do much for me but, again mood. I'm usually up for what my partner wants to do Hearton64 My rule of thumb is never ask anyone to do something to you that you're not prepared to do to them, or to let you do something that you refuse to have done to you. So you've never done anal then? Or do you enjoy getting pegged? I'm not a tit for tat kind of person in bed. I've given ALOT more than I received Orally. Who wants to force someone to do something they don't want to do? Not much fun in that. Ever had a begrudgingly given bj?

Q: Simulation of ARIMA (1,1,0) series I have fitted the ARIMA models to the original time series, and the best model is ARIMA(1,1,0). Now I want to simulate the series from that model. I wrote the simple AR(1) model, but I couldn't understand how to adjust the difference within the model ARI(1,1,0). The following R code for AR(1) series is: phi= -0.7048 z=rep(0,100) e=rnorm(n=100,0,0.345) cons=2.1 z[1]=4.1 for (i in 2:100) z[i]=cons+phi*z[i-1]+e[i] plot(ts(Y)) How do i include the difference term ARI(1,1) in above code. Any one help me in this regard. A: If you want to simulate ARIMA you can use arima.sim in R, there is no need to do it by hand. This will generate the series you want. e <- rnorm(100,0,0.345) arima.sim(n=100,model=list(ar=-0.7048,order=c(1,1,0)),start.innov=4.1,n.start=1,innov=2.1+e) You can look at the code of how this is achieved by typing arima.sim in R command line. Alternatively if you do it yourself, the function you are probably looking is diffinv. It computes the inverse of lagged differences. For recursive sequences R has a nice function filter. So instead of using loop z <- rep(NA,100) z[1] <- 4.1 for (i in 2:100) z[i]=cons+phi*z[i-1]+e[i] you can write filter(c(4.1,2.1+e),filter=-0.7048,method="recursive") This will give the identical result to arima.sim example above: diffinv(filter(c(4.1,2.1+e),filter=-0.7048,method="recursive")[-1]) A: While it's true that you can inspect arima.sim to see what it's doing, I found this blog post more helpful for pedagogical purposes. It starts from a single white noise series and shows how various ARIMA models are built up from that series.

Home » Art People: how Hiep Le shaped a new life Art People: how Hiep Le shaped a new life by Kitry Krause October 28, 1993 August 20, 2021 Hiep Le's left hand curls around the base of the spinning lump of wet clay. His right presses hard across the top, cords of muscle rising along his thin forearm. His hands wobble on the uneven clay, then steady as it centers on the wheel. He drives his thumbs into the middle of the mound, curling its sides outward, then, grasping them with his long fingers, deftly draws it up into a cylinder. Le had wanted to be a surgeon. In the early 70s only 400 people a year were accepted into South Vietnam's six-year medical programs; 20,000 would apply. He'd finished four years when Saigon fell in 1975. His family, which had fled Haiphong when the communists took over the north in the 1950s, had already packed what they could carry. They headed for the river, by chance to the place where barges were waiting to pick up Vietnamese who'd worked for the American government. No one asked for proof as thousands of people pushed on. Le arrived in Normal, Illinois, four months later, hoping to go on with med school, but was told he'd have to start over. He worked as a janitor through several semesters as an undergrad at Illinois State, then dropped out to take two jobs and save money. Friends told him California made it easier to get credit for classes taken in Vietnam, so he moved to LA, where he studied for the national boards for six months. While he was there, he gradually realized he didn't like LA and wasn't enjoying what he was studying. He was also afraid he wouldn't be able to develop close relationships with his patients here as he had in Vietnam. He went back to Illinois State, switching to fine arts, and became fascinated by clay. "It's extremely–how should I describe it?–sensuous," he says, smiling. "The clay responds to the slightest pressure. It's a very intimate experience to sit down and work with a piece of clay." When he got his degree in 1982, Le went back to work full-time and gave up pottery until after he moved to Chicago five years later. He now lives in Rogers Park, working full-time for a picture-framing business in Arlington Heights and spends around ten hours a week throwing pots and teaching at the Clayworks pottery studio. The spinning cylinder is now more than a foot tall. Le's left hand slides up the inside wall, gently pushing it out; his right chases the left on the outside. He presses the top toward the center, then flares the lip, saying "That's a Roman form." He reaches back inside, and the pot bows up slightly from the base. He draws the top in, flaring the lip only a little. "That's an Oriental form." The top is too soft to keep working it, and he cuts off several inches with a knife. He curves the new top out, then pushes the opening until it's small with a short, nearly straight neck. "And that's an American Indian form," he says. He isn't sure whether there's anything of Vietnam in his pots, though he says he tends toward classic Asian curves. He's looked for examples of Vietnamese pottery, but couldn't find any at the Art Institute. He's seen a few in books but he's not sure that there even is a distinctive Vietnamese style. When he tries to remember pots he saw when he lived there, he sees rice bowls, and huge jars for collecting rainwater, and large incense burners in temples. But he isn't sure the burners were ceramic. "Maybe they were iron. Maybe bronze." A free exhibit of Le's pottery runs through Sunday, November 7, at Clayworks, 1405 W. Lunt; hours are 2 to 9:30 Tuesday through Friday, and noon to 9 Saturday and Sunday. For more information call 262-2522.

Kisaila Self-Help Group was formed in the year 2011 by 24 females and 14 males. The average size of each household is six. 32% of people are in the age bracket of 18‐35 years, while 36% are of the ages 35‐60 years and 32% are of the ages of 60 and over. This is a balanced group in terms of having both the youthful and the elderly; a perfect blend for executing heavy work such as building a sand dam! The elderly provide wise counsel while the youth use their hands and feet. The group united to find ways of improving their living situation. The main activities that the group engage in include welfare services such as merry-go-round (collecting finances that are given to one member each month), and supporting each other with farming. Of particular concern to the group was the drying up of their main water source. "This place is always very hot and dry during the dry seasons of the year. Usually, water becomes a major challenge in this time… Worse still is that this water is not clean for human consumption, but we have no choice. Cases of waterborne diseases such as typhoid, amoeba are very high in this area. Am certain that with water from the sand dam which has a protected shallow well will be safe for us to drink. We will witness a drop of these diseases," says self-help group chairman Anthony Maweu Mwaluko. River Mithini used to be permanent, and is the only natural source for the entire community. Degradation of the banks has affected the persistence of water in the river during the dry seasons. The water used to be available throughout the year but just recently started drying up during June. This leaves the community in desperation, spending more than one hour to fetch water from any alternative source. 84% of the respondents fetch water from the river. Alternative water sources in the area include a borehole where people are charged 30 Kenyan shillings per 20-liter jerrican of water, a price which very few can afford. To access water at the river, community members dig scoop holes which are fenced with thorny bushes to prevent the entry of unwanted people and livestock. The livestock have their designated points where they go to drink water. Before fetching water at the scoop hole , an individual will scoop away stagnant water and allow the water to recharge. However, degradation of the river has increased the amount of time that water flows, so recharging a scoop hole can take quite a bit of time. During the dry seasons, even more time is spent in line as people wait for the scoop holes to refill. Past experience with water shortage has taught the community to invest in reservoirs with large capacity. These are a common item within households, with most having a 200 to 300-liter water tank. Most of the group's families have children who are still in school. Most families are able to afford day schools, which afford children time to also help their parents fetch water. During the weekends, this is the main assignment of children: to fill the large reservoirs and spare their parents frequent trips to the water source. Waterborne disease has been reported after consumption of the river's water, especially during the dry seasons. 100% of households have a pit latrine, most of which are made of mud walls and iron-sheeted roofs. The group is located near a main town, so the income of the self-help members is fairly stable. This was obvious in that the quality of latrines is far above normal, with a few walls painted and even some doors that lock! They are comfortable and cleaned regularly. Over 75% of households have tools like dish racks and clotheslines. Most also have a dust bin kit within their homes, and a compost pit outside in the back of their yards. Because most of the group members received a formal education, they understand the implications and consequences of poor hygiene. Hygiene is perceived as a symbol of class and well-being. This shallow well will be dug adjacent to the sand dam (click here to check it out!) that is being built at River Mithini. As the sand dam matures, the water in the shallow well will become more and more constant. Construction is expected to take two months. Once the well is lined with concrete and an Afridev pump is installed, community members will have a great alternative to the scoop holes they have been digging in the riverbed. Day 1: Members will see presentations about the consequences of poor hygiene and sanitation. Members will participate through providing daily experiences of the practices commonly used. Day 2: Members will be introduced to some common hygiene practices such as hand-washing and the need for tippy taps (hand-washing stations), household cleanliness, water treatment, and many other topics. Day 3: Members will come up with an action plan of implementing some of the practices learned, and will provide a schedule of when they will actually implement these. The facilitator will use a mixture of PHAST (Participatory Health and Sanitation Training) and lectures to teach the above lessons. The community decided that training should be conducted at a group member's compound. This was done to provide a conducive environment for the community to learn. The venue was chosen also because it is central to the community. It also has a kitchen for cooking the lunches that were provided by ASDF so that training could go uninterrupted. The training was organized in late April to allow the community enough time to work on their farms. The rains usually subside in May, hence the community could have time to attend training. The community actively participated during training. By being arranged in smaller groups, each and everyone had the chance to contribute to each topic discussed. Each member gave examples of their daily practices regarding hygiene and sanitation in their households; this activity made training relevant and applicable for all participants. Construction for this hand-dug well began on March 18th. This is when actual excavation of the well began. We anticipated that the rains would start early April, hence the need to have the shallow well done by that time. The community delegated the excavation of the well to three strong men, since many others were busy building the adjacent sand dam. Excavation of the main pit took eight days, the walling of the pit took five days, and installation of the hand-pump was done by end of April. Thankfully, rains didn't start until the end of April! The well ended up being six feet in diameter and 15 feet deep. And since the sand dam was done by the onset of the rainy season, it was just in time to catch the rains and begin the maturation process! It will collect sand and raise the water table so that this hand-dug well will be less likely to run dry. Notice that the pictures show the well is on a pedestal; this is because we expect the land to rise as the sand dam collects more sand. Water quality testing is also a very important part of this project. Periodic water tests are scheduled in order to verify safety and ascertain the quality of water – and what methods of cleaning or treating the water should be used. The group has been trained on water treatment and basic hygiene practices which prevent contamination of this well's water. The community will be in charge of controlling both pump usage and the digging of scoop holes along the river. Since the Kisaila Self-Help Group plans to sell water from this well, we are advising that they open a bank account to store funds that will be used if there is ever a need for minor repairs to the pump. If they ever need any help with management or repairs, they are encouraged to call our number! A year ago, generous donors helped build a hand-dug well for the Kisaila Self-Help Group in Kenya. Because of these gifts and our monthly donors, partners are able to visit project sites throughout the year, strengthening relationships with communities and evaluating the actual water project. These consistent visits allow us to learn vital lessons and hear amazing stories – we're excited to share this one from our partner Titus Mbithi with you. We are excited to report that, thanks to your generosity, a new well has been constructed for the community of Kisaila Self-Help Group. In addition to the well, the residents have received training in sanitation and hygiene. Imagine the difference these resources will make for this community! We just posted the latest information to the project page; celebrate with all of us! We are excited to announce that a project to provide clean water for the Kisaila Self-Help Group and their community in Kenya is underway. A new well is being constructed and the community will receive training in sanitation and hygiene. Together these resources will go a long way toward stopping the spread of disease in the area. We just posted a report including information about the community, GPS coordinates, and pictures. We'll keep you posted as the work continues. When she would come home without water, this meant that we slept without cooking… but since the project inception, I find food ready. This enables me to eat, do my homework, then sleep early. My teachers have also commented on my performance and concentration in class and I am aiming to achieve higher marks in my next class. Life for people living near this hand-dug well has greatly improved because they now have a clean water source that runs throughout the year. The group has clean and safe drinking water that is even treated before consumed, thanks to the training they received last year. Water-related diseases have largely decreased. The surrounding environment has become more serene and the people are happy, healthy and clean. We interviewed Levi Mwendwa, who came to fetch water from the well. Mrs. Ngei sharing the changes that have happened since this project last year. The hand-dug well depends on the water this sand dam stores. The surrounding environment has become green and cool. Soil and water are conserved through natural vegetation and terracing. Water is available throughout the year, and is being enjoyed by hundreds.

In celebration of Kentuck's 50th anniversary (2021), Kentuck Art Center renamed the Spoken Word Stage to honor the late journalist/storyteller/Alabama legend Kathryn Tucker Windham. The Spoken Word Stage at the Kentuck Festival of the Arts would not exist if not for Kathryn. In the early years of the Kentuck Festival, there was no storytelling stage - just a circled spot on a map, where someone would tack up a sign with her name, and times. She'd walk the festival grounds, then wander back whenever a crowd of children gathered. Kentuck Art Center and Festival is honored to dedicate the stage to Kathryn. In addition to the performances listed below, attendees can look forward to listening to old recordings of Kathryn telling her ghostly tales. Kathryn used to say "Storytelling is a way of saying 'I love you.' I love you enough to tell you something that means a great deal to me." The power of spoken word transcends time and generations. It is Kentuck's hope that honoring Kathryn Tucker Windham with this stage dedication will stir feelings of nostalgia for those who grew up reading her stories, and introduce a new generation to the magic of storytelling. Or, in Kathryn's words, the magic of saying, "I love you." Learn more about Kathryn's life and legacy here.

Well, if any sector has proved that in the last eight years it's the creative industries and at their base the art makers who have survived the disappearance of both subsidy and business sponsorship, and even thrived. The Brexit outcome is the big question that at this point is unknowable, but the answer to dealing with it in the mid-distance future may be in thinking small. For some time, and perhaps counter-intuitively, there has been a growing belief in the power of local funding resources. The old-fashioned type where the tourism and leisure committee coughs up an annual grant to keep the theatre open has been pretty much killed off by austerity, but there's a new pattern and this week it was given a shape and a face. It bears the unromantic name of Creative Enterprise Zones and is the brainchild of Justine Simons, London's deputy mayor for culture who, after a decade of mulling the problem over under two previous mayors and in the meantime creating the World Cities Forum, was given her head by Sadiq Khan. "How can we futureproof London as an open, vibrant and successful world capital?" Simons asked in the Financial Times last year. "Around the world, awareness has grown of the importance of culture if cities are to thrive in the 21st century. The paradigm has shifted and the notion of culture as a core ingredient in urban policy has gone from niche to mainstream. Khan has already warned about the consequences of a no deal Brexit to that intangible heritage – 6,000 jobs in London alone, 27,000 nationally, and a revenue loss to the capital of £1bn by 2030 (Cambridge Econometrics' figures). To confront that possibility, earlier this year, at that hub of cultural enterprise the Battersea Arts Centre, the mayor announced the cultural strategy Simons had crafted with the CEZs at its core (my picture shows them together at the announcement). He called for bids to share an £11m pot, 25 came forward and six have been chosen which, he and Simons believe, will generate tens of millions of pounds of growth and more than 3,500 new jobs. The six, Croydon, Lambeth, Haringey, Hounslow, Hackney/Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, have demonstrated in their successful bids how local partnerships will lever another £30m. They will use their own planning powers to make new creative uses for existing buildings, but a vital element is the London Economic Action Partnership, formed last year with the mayor, London boroughs, academics, trades unionists, entrepreneurs and business as an investment tool to support and lead economic growth and job creation, with creativity one of its priorities. So rather than a blanket plan for the city based on second hand local knowledge, each borough has come up with a scheme – Croydon's emphasis is on music, Hounslow's on film and video, and so on– fitted to its own profile. Individually it's small fry, but together the six could pack a transformative punch that has as much to do with community pride as prosperity, and that would be in spite of whatever form of Brexit transpires in 2019. Other cities with elected mayors to co-ordinate any future plan are watching with interest, foremost among them Manchester, who see to hand a means of negating the corrosive effects of central government on local creative endeavour.

Find out more about investing in art, parking bays and alpacas! Wait… did you say alpacas? For some, the idea of investing conjures up images of men in dark suits, flashing computer screens and baffling terminology. But not all investments have to be like this. Here is a list of some of the unusual investments that South Africans are making. Livestock Buying and selling farm animals is one of the simplest models of investing to make a return. You have to make sure that the animal stays healthy and grows or breeds, and then you sell it or its young for a profit. Since most would-be investors don't have sufficient grazing space in their back gardens, farmers are now offering the public the opportunity to invest in livestock like cows or alpacas to reap the benefits. You purchase the animal, you pay the farmer a "maintenance fee", and you get the income from the sale of its young or, in the case of the alpaca, its wool. For example, in the case of a cow, you pay around R10 500 to purchase the animal, and pay the company R295 a month to take care of it. The cow's offspring are then sold for around R4 500. There are a number of variables, including insurance fees in case the cow dies, and fluctuations in the weight of the calf and the price of beef, but the returns are there if all the elements work in your favour. If your cattle investments really pay off, you could one day even work your way up to owning a share in rare game or big-horned buffalo and realise returns of up to 37% annually like some of South Africa's captains of industry. Tiny chunks of real estate Property investment used to be the domain of big business. But recently, crowdfunding has allowed individuals to invest in small portions of property developments and realise the returns that used to belong only to large-scale investors. Global property crowdfunder Wealth Migrate has recently been granted a South African licence by the FSB, and will be offering South African investors access to developments for as little as $1 an investment. And if you'd like to buy a piece of property that you'll actually own, you can pick up a CBD parking bay in Johannesburg or Cape Town for R50 000 to R120 000, and continue to earn a monthly rental of R500 to R1 200 for perpetuity. "Although these parking bay opportunities are difficult to find, they offer great returns, and cost you nothing other than the upfront purchase price and very low levies," says Ivo Nestel, a property broker with Broll. Affordable artIf you don't know anything about art but you know what you like, then buy what you like. Obviously, there are art investors who purchase and sell pieces strategically, but for an entry-level investor with little knowledge of the art world, the idea is to buy artworks that appeal to you, with the possibility of making a profit along the way. You can pick up reasonably priced works at affordable art fairs – the Turbine Art Fair in Johannesburg and That Art Fair in Cape Town are great places to start. for people who want to invest in unusual projects, there is a wealth of opportunity. As you can see, for people who want to invest in unusual projects, there is a wealth of opportunity. Of course, as with any investment, it pays to do your research and only take on an acceptable level of risk. They key is to be open to ideas, but not foolish about out potential returns. Until you really know what you're doing, don't invest large sums in untested concepts – and remember that diversification is the watchword of a successful portfolio, so try your hand at a lot of different investments to find the one that works for you.

NUMBER OF VISITORS BEATS RECORDS IN NYC Wayne M. Gore - Mar 26, 2018 The number of visitors in New York City exceeded all expectations last year, despite concerns about the presidential election of Donald Trump. New York tourism broke its records in 2017, with 62.8 million visitors, according to figures published by NYC & Company, the city's tourism promotion organization. This represents an increase of 3.8% over 2016 and the eighth consecutive year that NYC has broken its own record. It is also clearly higher - by one million - than the most recent forecasts, whereas a year ago, the authorities expected a drop of 300,000 visitors. The increase in the number of visitors concerns both American and foreign tourists. Last year, 13.1 million people visited the city, representing 20.8 per cent of the total (but 50 per cent of expenditures). The first contingent of tourists comes from the United Kingdom (1.2 million). But the Chinese are just behind, surpassing the million mark for the first time, followed by Canadians. Professionals feared a "Trump effect". His election in November 2016 could have deterred foreign tourists from choosing the United States as their destination, especially since he imposed an entry ban on several nations. This was not the case, even though the situation in NYC differs from the rest of the country. According to Department of Commerce figures, the total number of tourists from abroad declined by 3.8% to 55 million in the first nine months of 2017. New York's appeal is expected to continue: the city is served by an increasing number of routes, including low-cost flights. The hotel offer continues to develop: last year, 36 new hotels opened their doors and a hundred others are under construction. The city offers more and more attractions, such as VR World NYC, a center dedicated to virtual reality, National Geographic Encounter which allows travel across the oceans, or a ferry system linking certain districts. Finally, New York tourism authorities have launched two major promotional campaigns in recent months, the first estimated at $3.2 million and the second at $15.6 million. The city has placed particular emphasis on Asia and Mexico. The forecasts for 2018 are therefore optimistic: according to NYC & Company, a new record should be broken, with 65.1 million tourists. "After the election, when we started talking about the anti-immigration decree, we felt an immediate effect on people's feelings," said Fred Dixon, CEO of NYC & Company. But we have learned one thing: for foreign tourists, travel is almost a right. They ignore politics.

Regional Creative Doc School ACTive BorderPass Docs in Schools About Zoom Rights in School Teaching toolkits DISCOVER THE PLJ17 FILM PROGRAMME News - 20.04.2022. Fragments of transnational (re)collections Author: Sanjin Pejković The formal frame appears already in the first scene of the film Homelands. Homelands deals with an exploration of transnational memory in the Balkans. A young woman discovers her grandmother's mountain village, from which she escaped during the Greek civil war. The protagonist returns to the same place in different seasons, talking to people about their lives, careers, views. Her own perspective appears in glimpses throughout, until it finally grows into a spectacularly choreographed monologue. The film begins with a scene of a woman in a car. The woman wipes away a tear as Bajaga sings Zažmuri. She's on the road towards a hamlet nestled in the mountains. It's winter and an icy wind is blowing. From the car, the camera switches to the hilltop. We follow the car as it fights through the snow-leaden hillside. Other cars make their descent, turn, pass the young woman's car. Everyone with their songs, in their moving boxes and their memories, everyone in their own fight through life, the snow, the ice. Borders shift and countries change. This is something that Lenka – Jelena Angelovski – the protagonist and also the film's producer, is aware of. Born in former Yugoslavia, she still remembers her grandmother who was forced to leave her hometown due to the civil war in Greece. The grandmother never returned to her birthplace, but she told the little girl about it. The mountain village has since been turned into a ski resort. At first glance, it doesn't offer any testimony to the bloody, violent past that forced the grandmother into exile, and the partisan forces into defeat. But while Maksimović doesn't hold back from grand gestures, she also doesn't strive to identify with the one-sided image of Yugo-nostalgia. In a particular segment, she speaks about how grandma spent her life in the Yugoslavian patriarchy, which only presented itself as better than other patriarchies, and one which not even leftist ideals could ruin. The first part of the film familiarises us with the place and the people living there, who are usually the employees of the local ski resort, while Lenka tries to learn to snowboard and goes to the ruins. The survey of the surroundings continues into the spring, showing a slower life focused more on agriculture and farming The end is reserved for Lenka's monologue about the crimes of the past and the challenges of the future, and the themes which still link her and her grandmother. These are capitalism, the patriarchy, and the exploitation of natural resources. Besides images of the present, the film presents fragments of landscape, archive images, songs of resistance, and scenes stripped of context which meld together, making the film an experimental collection of disjointed elements. This is done intending to construct a contrasting and heterogeneous image of a country in which traces of the past and its conflicts are erased. I found an interview with the director Jelena Maksimović where she talks about her personal history and that grandmother from northern Greece, and how she could never return to her country because she was politically compromised. The grandmother's father was a communist, her mother Macedonian, and in the time of the civil war, they had to escape from the village. But the grandmother told her granddaughter about social equality, justice, and socialist ideals. Later, the director says she felt she had to make a film that connects her own feelings to a country that no longer exists – Yugoslavia – and her grandmother's Greece, which she could no longer enter. The physical exile of the older generation translates to the director's spiritual one. Images of Zemun just a few years before the war of the 90s testifies about the distant image of a country, a most likely unrepeatable idea in the time of the national divisions that have been at hand for the last 30 years. While the grandmother's village still exists despite its ruins, the director's Yugoslavia is no more, and proof of it ever existing is ever rapidly fading. About 15 years ago, Andreas Huyssen wrote about the nostalgia for ruins. There he, if I remember correctly, deals with the rejection of arranging time in a fictional chronology and the frames of various narratives. Ruins are often fetishised, but can also be used to survey time that encompasses the past and the present in parallel. These two temporal determinants exist simultaneously, which at once debunks the simplistic view of temporality. I revisited Huyssen as I was watching Homelands. In passing through our factual ruins we factually relieve others' memories, and so this time exists in parallel to ours. The filmic phenomenology of the unending world. The film proposes an essay about the impassibility of time, about the coexistence of the past and present, the wrecks which become ruins, and ourselves as we directly or indirectly remind ourselves that it could have been different. All transcendence of memory is condensed in the intimacy of a dialogue with the past. Memory as a potentially transformative moment of imagination. A though-out, imagined, fictional past as a platform for future memories, for a necessary change, for revolutionary awakenings? The film constantly questions the fine line between fact and fiction. It also often erases it. The director's filmic hermeneutics directly rests upon the transnational gender and class identification – and the assumption of others' memories. Michael Rothberg's theory of multidirectional collective memory gets a filmic equivalent. Identifying with people from a different time is a moral act, proof that the fight persists. Proof that borders are collective and individual constructs but that the fight for freedom is universal. Unlike nationalist dogma and populist musing about collective memories, which are tied closely and exclusively to specific ethnic groups, the director proves that it's possible to identify with and "take on" the memory of others as an act of humanity. Homelands presents an interesting view of our ever so similar yet delimited histories. A handful of common elements and experiences which are ever further fragmenting, Balkanising. The abstraction of borders, sometimes entirely needlessly drawn, is evident in the individual rethinking of the concept of home. The film poses several questions and as every piece worthy of praise, doesn't answer all of them. How many homelands can one have, and do they really have to be tied to our nationally determined identities? What is it that makes us the sum of our ancestors, and according to what criteria can the ruins of the past serve as platforms for the disorderly yet crucial ideals of the future? The final scene represents a formal interruption of the observational mode. The survey of the quotidian in the little Greek village is interrupted when Lenka breaks down the illusion of a distant and invisible camera. Lenka suddenly turns to us, addresses us, we become her accomplices. She paces in a wide circle and recites the monologue as the camera follows her. The observations of the past are replaced by the reflexivity of a potential future. One in which the archival excerpts of another Greece and another Yugoslavia exist in a parallel system of possibility and desires. The impressive circle of thoughts and themes closes with a filmic rumination on, not necessarily something that's gone, but something that, from the ashes, and the ruins, may appear.

Four men jailed after an arson attack left a grandmother with 'catastrophic injuries' Liam Soutar Four men have been jailed for their part in arson attacks in Leigh and Merseyside which left a grandmother with catastrophic injuries. Soon after midnight, on Tuesday 16 October 2018, a couple were at home on Montreal Street in Leigh when their windows were smashed and a flammable liquid was thrown inside and set alight. Police at the scene of the arson in Montreal Street last October They managed to escape the inferno but the woman – who is in her 60s - suffered life-changing injuries as a result of the attack. Once the flames were extinguished, it became apparent that the fire was started deliberately, and an investigation was launched which determined that the lounge window had been smashed and an accelerant thrown inside before being ignited. The fire developed rapidly, enhanced by the fuels involved and the unlimited supply of oxygen. A Lucozade Sport bottle, with its drinking cap attached, was recovered from the front garden of the property. It contained a green liquid which was tested and found to be a petroleum product. The bottle drinking spout was swabbed, and DNA matching that of Andrew Bamford (01/03/81) was recovered from the drinking spout. Officers investigating the fire reviewed CCTV footage and identified a dark-coloured saloon taxi in the vicinity of Montreal Street at the time of the incident. Following enquiries with local taxi firms, Zana Ali (08/05/84) was identified as the driver. Officers seized and interrogated Ali's PDA, which is a device taxi's use for satellite navigation and job distribution, and the data pinpointed him to the area at the time of the fire. Clockwise: Jake Hignett, Zana Ali, Andrew Bamford and Neil Stanton The date not only gave GPS information identifying Ali's movements on the day of the arson attack, but it also linked him to an earlier arson attack on a house in Huyton, Liverpool on Sunday 14 October. On the evening of 13 October 2018, Ali met up with Jake Hignett (07/10/96) and Neil Stanton (22/09/77) at a pub in Leigh, before driving to a petrol station on the A580 'East Lancs'. Ali purchased a nine-pack of toilet roll and a bottle of Lucozade Sport. A few minutes later, Stanton entered the shop and purchased a petrol canister before filling it up with petrol and paying for the fuel. The GPS tracking system revealed the taxi then drove to Mardale Road in Huyton, where it arrived at 12.42am. CCTV images shows two people approach a property via the front gate at 12.46am, before going towards the front door then running away. Minutes later, emergency services were called to reports of a fire at a house Mardale Road. Police at the scene of the arson attack on Montreal Street No one was at home at the time of the fire, but a dog had to be rescued by the fire service who battled to control the blaze as it tore through the ground floor of the property, Today, Friday 28 June 2019 at Manchester Crown Court, Crown Square, Hignett, Ali, Stanton and Bamford were jailed for their part in the fires. Jake Hignett (07/10/96) of Kimberley Avenue, St Helens was sentenced to 16 years and one month in prison after pleading guilty to arson with intent in relation to the fire at Montreal Street and arson being reckless for the Huyton fire. CCTV released of duo suspected of St Helens power tools burglary Police hunt St Helens man in connection with burglary and assault in Blackpool Andrew Bamford (01/03/81) of Pendle Road, Golborne pleaded guilty to arson with intent at Montreal Street and was sentenced to 10 years and nine months in prison. Zana Ali (08/ 05/84) of Thirlmere Street, Leigh was sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to arson being reckless for the Leigh and Huyton fire. Neil Stanton (22/09/77) of Lower Hall Street, St Helens has been sentenced to eight years two months in prison after pleading guilty to arson being reckless for the Huyton fire and dangerous driving. Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Wilkinson of GMP's Major Investigations Team, said: "These men went to Montreal Street with the intention of putting the lives of the occupants at risk, which nearly cost the life of the elderly lady, and their brutality knows no bounds. "It was not just bricks and mortar, but people's lives and homes that were destroyed in these fires, and my thoughts remain with the woman who suffered significant and life changing injuries. "I would like to thank all the officers involved in what has been a thorough and complex investigation for all their efforts in helping to secure today's result."

The current public pension system in Finland The current public old-age pension scheme in Finland consists of two parts: the national pension and the earnings-related pension. The national pension scheme guarantees a minimum income for all Finnish residents who are not entitled to an earnings-related pension, or to those for which the latter is small. Since 1996, the national pension has been earnings-tested with regard to earnings-related pension benefits, and therefore is of minor importance for most people. Finally, Chapter 6 examines the possibilities to raise the overall employment rate in the future, emphasising the importance of introducing a broad range of reforms. It also examines the importance of co-operation between government bodies, social partners and individuals.

FDA Approves Prevnar 20 (pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine) for Adults Ages 18 Years or Older First approval of a conjugate vaccine that helps protect against 20 serotypes responsible for the majority of invasive pneumococcal disease and pneumonia,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 including seven responsible for 40% of pneumococcal disease cases and deaths in the U.S. Helps protect against more serotypes of pneumococcal disease than any other conjugate vaccine Builds on Pfizer's more than 20-year legacy and innovation in developing pneumococcal conjugate vaccines NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE) June 08, 2021 -- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Prevnar 20™ (Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine) for the prevention of invasive disease and pneumonia caused by the 20 Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) serotypes in the vaccine in adults ages 18 years and older. Following today's FDA approval, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is expected to meet in October to discuss and update recommendations on the safe and appropriate use of pneumococcal vaccines in adults. Prevnar 20 includes capsular polysaccharide conjugates for the 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F) already included in Prevnar 13® (Pneumococcal 13-valent Conjugate Vaccine [Diphtheria CRM197 Protein]). The vaccine also contains capsular polysaccharide conjugates for seven additional serotypes (8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F) that cause invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD),8,9,10,11,12 and have been associated with high case-fatality rates,13,14,15,16 antibiotic resistance,4,17,18 and/or meningitis.19,20 "Today's approval of Prevnar 20 marks a significant step forward in our ongoing fight to help address the burden of pneumococcal disease, including pneumonia in adults, and broadens global protection against more disease-causing serotypes than any other pneumococcal conjugate vaccines," said Kathrin U. Jansen, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Head of Vaccine Research & Development, Pfizer. "With a single injection, Prevnar 20 provides adults with strong and meaningful protection against serotypes responsible for the majority of circulating pneumococcal disease around the world." In the United States, more than half of all cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) – which include bacteremia and meningitis – in adults ages 65 or older are due to the 20 serotypes in Prevnar 20.21 In the United States, these 20 serotypes are estimated to cause up to 250,000 cases of IPD (including bacteremia and meningitis) and community-acquired pneumonia and more than 10,000 deaths in adults ages 18 or older.22 Overall, the seven additional serotypes in Prevnar 20 account for approximately 40 percent of all pneumococcal disease cases and deaths in the U.S.23 "Adult vaccinations play a pivotal role in helping protect our health and wellness, especially as we age and our immune systems begin to naturally weaken," said Jane Barratt, Ph.D., Secretary General, International Federation on Ageing (IFA). "We are delighted with today's approval as it addresses a critical need to continually expand coverage to meet the changing burden of disease. We encourage all adults to speak with their healthcare professionals about vaccinations." The FDA's decision is based on evidence from Pfizer's clinical program in adults, including Phase 1 and 2 trials, and three Phase 3 trials (NCT03760146, NCT03828617, and NCT03835975) describing the safety and evaluating the immunogenicity of the vaccine. More than 6,000 adult subjects 18 years and older participated in the three Phase 3 trials, including adults 65 years of age and older, vaccine-naïve adults, and adults with prior pneumococcal vaccination.23,24 "Prevnar 20 builds on Pfizer's legacy of more than two decades of experience in developing and supplying innovative pneumococcal conjugate vaccines that have had a tangible impact on global disease burden," said Nanette Cocero, Ph.D., Global President of Pfizer Vaccines. "We are thrilled with this approval as it furthers our mission to expand protection against disease-causing bacteria serotypes to help prevent potentially serious respiratory infections like pneumococcal pneumonia throughout the year." About 20-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Regulatory Review On September 20, 2018, Pfizer announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Prevnar 20 for the prevention of invasive disease and pneumonia in adults age 18 years or older. Breakthrough Therapy Designation is designed to expedite the development and review of drugs and vaccines that are intended to treat or prevent serious conditions and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug or vaccine may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapy on a clinically significant endpoint(s).25 Drugs and vaccines that receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation are eligible for all features of the FDA's Fast Track designation, which may include more frequent communication with the FDA about the drug's development plan and eligibility for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, if relevant criteria are met.26 The FDA previously granted Fast Track designation for Prevnar 20 in September 2017 for use in adults aged 18 years or older.27 The FDA's Fast Track approach is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs and vaccines intended to treat or prevent serious conditions and address an unmet medical need.25 On February 26, 2021, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) accepted for review Pfizer's Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate, as submitted for the prevention of invasive disease and pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes in the vaccine in adults ages 18 years and older. The formal review process by the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) currently is ongoing. INDICATIONS FOR PREVNAR 20™ Prevnar 20™ is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of pneumonia and invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F in adults 18 years of age and older The indication for preventing pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, and 33F is approved based on immune responses. Continued approval may depend on a supportive study. U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Prevnar 20™ should not be given to anyone with a history of severe allergic reaction to any component of Prevnar 20™ or to diphtheria toxoid Adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to Prevnar 20™. Safety data are not available for these groups. Your healthcare provider can tell you if Prevnar 20™ is right for you In adults 18 years of age and older, the most common side effects were pain at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. Additionally, injection site swelling was also common in adults 18 through 59 years of age Ask your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of Prevnar 20™.

Often, people consider velocity and speed synonyms. They aren't! Velocity is distance over time in a specific direction where as speed is distance over time in any direction. Many organizations lose sight of this distinction and speed often becomes a sales performance excuse: "we can't go any faster!" Going 100 MPH in circles is not a winning sales strategy. We focus on acceleration in the right direction. https://cybervelocity.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/X1.png 509 597 Todor https://cybervelocity.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/logo-Cyber-Velocity-def-RGB-300x128.jpg Todor2014-10-18 16:00:442018-05-13 09:28:38Why Velocity?

kihou — Xavid ( kihou) wrote, Xavid kihou Civilization and Duality A morning talk, as given by Marelle. Civilization, fundamentally, separates the true from the false. That's not to say that everyone in a frame agrees on everything. Of course people argue all the time, and much profit is made on conflicts of perspective. But underneath those peaks of disagreement is an iceberg of shared assumptions that no one notices because that's just "how the world works". Assumptions about what's true, and what's false. How much things should cost. What has value. What someone deserves. What is normal, what is just. You might think that, out here in the wastes, we're not defined by civilization. But it's not something you can escape by just walking. We can't but live in relation to civilization. Some of this is good. Without civilization we wouldn't have medicines, we wouldn't have screws, clean water would be harder to come by. Some of it is unhelpful. We bring our old angers, our unhealthy desires, our biases. And we live amidst others' trash. And we bring these assumptions of true and false with us, too. They're tied in with the way we think. They're baked into our stories. We come from different places, from different frames. That helps, some. Yet how can we escape the duality of true and false if we're still entangled in the places we came from? But thinking of it as an escape is wrong. Fleeing something is just chasing a contrast. And pursuing nonduality in these terms is like asking a stone to fly. Tags: boundless brainstorming, fiction

Q: Is it faster to use one large query or several smaller queries? I've been pondering this for some time and thought I would ask some people that are knowledgeable of MySQL and even PHP. Let's say you have a query that gets dynamic information about an article. You also have several tables associated with the articles such as comments and categories. Let's say that on a page of article results you would like to get information such as the number of comments and what category the article is in. Which method would load faster? One Large Query: $query = " SELECT a.article_id, a.title, a.description, a.category_id com.comment_id, com.article_id, COUNT(com.article_id) AS num_comments cat.category_id, cat.title AS cat_titleca FROM articles AS A LEFT JOIN categories AS cat ON (a.category_id = cat.category_id) LEFT JOIN comments AS com ON (a.article_id = com.comment_id) GROUP BY a.article_id ORDER BY a.article_id DESC LIMIT 10"; if($query = mysql_query($query)){ if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0){ while($article=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){ echo $article['title'].' has '.$article['num_comments'].' comments and is in the category '.$article['cat_title'].'.'; } } } Or to use several smaller queries: <?php $query_articles = " SELECT article_id, title, description, category_id FROM articles ORDER BY article_id DESC LIMIT 10"; if($query_articles = mysql_query($query_articles)){ if(mysql_num_rows($query_articles) > 0){ while($article=mysql_fetch_assoc($query_articles)){ $query_comments = " SELECT comment_id, article_id FROM comments WHERE article_id = ".$article['article_id']." ORDER BY comment_id"; if($query_comments = mysql_query($query_comments)){ $num_comments = mysql_num_rows($query_comments); } $query_cat = " SELECT category_id, title FROM categories WHERE category_id = ".$article['category_id']." LIMIT 1"; if($query_cat = mysql_query($query_cat)){ if(mysql_num_rows($query_cat) > 0){ $cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_cat); } } echo $article['title'].' has '.$num_comments.' and is in the category '.$cat['title'].'.'; } } } A: A single query is faster of course, why don't you do benchmark $time = microtime(true); //code here $elapsed = microtime(true) - $time; echo 'Elapsed time = '.$elapsed;

This morning I woke to the pitter patter of unwelcome drizzle and stiff-as-cardboard legs. I thought briefly about those foam roller things at the gym but my mind swiftly shut that down since just the thought of this was too much. My legs. Oh, mama, my legs. I paid $3 for 200 MB of data (no cell service because NZ) and checked the weather here and in Makaroa. The forecast showed more rain as we approached our destination. And a drop in temperature down into the 40s. As we packed our bikes we started coming up with sarcastic attempts at silver linings. For example, I was thankful it was cold enough that wearing my rain shell didn't make me sweat. Jess was thankful that the cold froze her legs so she couldn't feel the pain. Jess also bought a bag of wine and strapped it to her back rack. Always a resourceful opportunist, that one. I think the joking helped me face the morning of wind, rain, and cold. My favorite triad. I actually really just laughed at how ridiculously unpleasant it all was. Beautiful. And terrible. Now, if you have known me for at least...oh say...three days (maybe less)...you will know how much I love Hamilton. I have been saving that playlist for a "special" day. That day was today. I listened to the Mixtape with song-by-song commentary AND the entire album. Because today I needed to be like my country--young, scrappy, and hungry. Grandma, skip past this next photo because it's meant for the smarmy-faced poo face who smugly told me how steep the climb to Haast Pass was...as I started climbing it. Like, seriously, what is the point of those comments? Are you trying to get me to quit? Do you need to feel like you're smarter than me? Why do you need to feel superior? Because you know, I just magically apparated to this spot with my bike. I had NO idea there was a steep climb here. I surely owe you such a debt for this warning! Since we're pointing out the obvious, do you also want to tell me it's cold AF? Or that it's cloudy? Or windy? Or that I might get wet out here? Please, for the benefit of future generations, explain to me the impetus for such dumbassery exiting your mouth. --but I didn't say any of this because I was already making my way up the hill and ain't nobody got time to stop. Except at the top. To take this photo. As we got closer to Makaroa, I started feeling a lift in my mood and...wait, was that warmth? Am I hypothermic?...oh my gosh, it's the SUN!!!! Hello, my friend! And a patch of blue sky! And our chalet at Makaroa had a heater in the room! AND...wait for it...heater in the bathroom!!!! It's the little things.

Stephen Hawking was famed for his intellect and the work he produced; his illness, motor neurone disease, and his ability to overcome it; and his sense of humour and personality. The combination of these things, amongst others, meant that he was one of the most important physicists of his age, and perhaps the greatest ambassador for science of his time, and ensured that he had a huge cultural, as well as scientific, impact on the world. Hawking was admiral in his attitude to several things. in 1963, aged 21, doctors told him he would likely only live another two or three years, but speaking about his own mortality, he said, 'although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life in the present more than before.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6lFGJdwRyo He was hugely ambitious, claiming, 'my goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.' But while his ambitions were of the highest scientific level, he also regularly gave his opinion on mainstream scientific issues, such as nuclear war and genetics, as well as on religion and the general human condition, and institutions such as the NHS. As such he was always heard beyond the pages of scientific journals and essays, and created a popular persona so great that he appeared on shows such The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory. One of his best known works, A Brief History of Time, 1ed in 1988, is essentially a layman's guide to cosmology (the study of the origins and evolution of the universe), and typified his eventual standing high up in both science and popular culture. Speaking about their intentions with the book, Hawking's editor has said, 'we were just trying to create a book that was scientifically accurate without being impenetrable to the general reader,' but it would go on to propel the writer to main stream stardom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIDTQ5BoKP8 This fame naturally made him an inspirational figure for other people with disabilities, while his willingness to share his opinions meant he also continued to cause occasional controversy. He was accused of sexism when he claimed women were 'a complete mystery', and offended religious people when he said God was not needed to get the university going. In an interview with The Guardian, he said: 'I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.' There was nothing cold about his scientific views, however. Hawking said 'we have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.' He believed in the miracles and magnificence of the world and the universe, some of which his work helped to explain.

I can not get offline plate solving to work any longer. I had it working great in the past but it now longer works for me. Neither does polar alignment. I am using KSTARS 3.0.0 for OSX. Hopefully I have done something simple to the settings and I can get back up and running. This is a simulated profile that I am testing indoors, but the failure looks the same to me based on the alignment module tab. Are you using load & slew with this? I see the file name as califneb12:6:18.fits? Maybe the colons ":" in the filename are causing issues. Just a guess at this point. Yes, I am using load and slew. Same as I always did in the past. Plate solve seemed to work great in 2.9.8 and I can not recall if other similarly named files were used. I will try and change the name and see if it that makes a difference. Thanks! I tried different files with more a standard naming convention and nothing seems to work. This is very disappointing. Perhaps I have some of the settings wrong for the camera and the scope? The offline solver uses the configuration file "/Applications/kstars 3.0.0.app/Contents/MacOS/astrometry/bin/astrometry.cfg". Are you sure the "add_path" option is pointing to the correct directory with the astrometry index FITS files? Yep I have the astrometry.cfg file in the correct location. The index files are correctly pointed to in that tab. Where would I find the "add_path" option? "add_path" is part of the astrometry.cfg file. But if the index files show up in the tab then the setting is correct. It was worth a try. The log file you posted doesn't show debug log lines for plate solving. Please enable debug logging for plate solving (see Jasem's signature), try again and post the logs here. Nope, that should be all. I see you have the --resort option checked. In the Alignment tab (bottom picture) click the Options tab (to the lower right just above your mouse cursor) and select the Solver Options tab. Then disable the --resort option and see if that helps. If not, simply copy the command line (third line from above in the output of the solver in the bottom image. It starts with /Applications/kstars 3.0.0.app) and paste it in a terminal and hit enter. You may need to put \ characters in front of all spaces between "kstars" and "3.0.0" in two places in the command (the solve-field and astrometry.cfg parts) and see what happens. Come to think of it, perhaps the fact that the application is in "/Applications/kstars 3.0.0.app" (with a space in the name) may be the problem. Can you try to move it to "/Applications/kstars_3.0.0.app" (i.e. replace the space character with an underscore) and see if that helps? You are a genius! Originally I renamed the Application in the folder to differentiate from Kstars 2.9.8 while I was migrating to the newer version. After adding the underscore in the app name it seems to be working. I just did a sim test of a file and went through the process as if it was working. Thank you so much and I hope to test it out tonight under the real stars. I just wanted to follow-up on this item. I have been able to test it out under the stars tonight and everything is working perfect. 20-30 secs from roughly Park 3 to plate solved! I love this feature! Now I just need to get a rotator.

Executing apostate myth is based on Mis-Interpretation in response to reader comment: - about death of someone who converts Submitted by sur (Canada), Nov 6, 2008 at 12:51 Those who advocate killing of Apostate(Renegade) mis-interpret Ahadees & don't under stand the context. Prophet Muhammad NEVER killed Apostate because of his leaving-Islam BUT because after leaving Islam he KILLED Muslims or Faught wars against muslims. If an Apostate didn't kill muslims or faught against muslims then Prophet Muhammad NEVER ordered to kill such. As in following Ahadees Prophet didn't order to kill Apostates:- Bukhari:56:814:- There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die(So he died his natural death & was not killed for his apostacy), and the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out............. ...........When the famine was taken off, the people renegade once again as non-believers. .......... "Allah's Apostle prayed for them and it rained heavily for seven days. So the people complained of the excessive rain. The Prophet said, 'O Allah! (Let it rain) around us and not on us.' So the clouds dispersed over his head and it rained over the surroundings."(Here again Prophet didn't order to kill these Apostates) Now i come to incidences where killing of apostates is mentioned. In all such incidences apostates were involved in killing muslims. ......... and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill them as the people of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them)." Narated By Anas : Some people from the tribe of 'Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine). They did so, and after they had recovered from their ailment (became healthy) they turned renegades (reverted from Islam) and killed the shepherd of the camels and took the camels away. The Prophet sent (some people) in their pursuit and so they were (caught and) brought, and the Prophets ordered that their hands and legs should be cut off and that their eyes should be branded with heated pieces of iron, and that their cut hands and legs should not be cauterised, till they die. (same incidence as above)Bukhari:83:37:- ....(Long Hadith).......They deserted Islam, committed murder and theft...... Like today many muslims mis-understand these Ahadees, similarly in past this misunderstanding had occured & few of such incidences have been recorded in books of Ahadees but in all of them Prophet Muhammad is not involved. Like Bukhari:59:630 & 632. It was mis-understanding on behalf of those companions. Mark my comment as a response to Executing apostate myth is based on Mis-Interpretation by sur

Field Power Bonus The Duelist Kingdom island featured numerous terrains, allowing for various Field Power Bonuses. In the Duelist Kingdom arc of the anime and manga, each Dueling Arena had the properties of a specific type of land mass. If a monster was Summoned on a terrain it favored, it would receive a 30% increase in its ATK and DEF. This was called a Field Power Bonus. Unlike Field Spell Cards, arenas sometimes had multiple types of field in play simultaneously, that could power up different monsters depending on which Monster Card Zone they were played on. In practice, this could be likened to having multiple Field Spell Cards in play. The following were seen: The Field Power Bonus rule was also utilized in the Toei anime. However, it didn't appear to matter what side of the field you were sitting on when playing monsters on certain field squares. The anime made reference to monsters with the Field Power Bonus not being affected by attacks that used Magic Cards to power the monster up (such as "Feral Imp" equipped with "Horn of the Unicorn"). While Yugi Muto was explaining the Field Power Bonus, a series of lands appeared on screen, including an unseen "arctic" or snow-laden land. Some video games, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses also utilizes the concept of Field Power Bonus. In the game, your Monster gains 500 ATK and DEF if the Field it is on is favorable to it. Anime and manga gameplay Yu-Gi-Oh!

Two SU football players charged in run-in with Syracuse police Updated: Mar. 22, 2019, 3:15 p.m. | Published: Dec. 02, 2012, 10:20 p.m. By John O'Brien | jobrien@syracuse.com Syracuse, N.Y. -- Two Syracuse University football players, including a starting linebacker, were charged today after a violent struggle with police in which one player tried to pull an officer off the other. Marquis Spruill, 21, and Steve Rene, 21, were arrested after Syracuse police responded to a large crowd at the intersection of Euclid and Livingston avenues, according to police Sgt. Tom Connellan. When police arrived shortly before 12:30 a.m., they saw Rene in the middle of Euclid, yelling at people, Connellan said. The officers told him to get out of the road. He yelled obscenities and gradually moved to the sidewalk, Connellan said. Moments later, Rene was back in the roadway, yelling obscenities and waving his arms, Connellan said. Rene appeared angry and ready to fight, Connellan said. Rene blocked a car whose driver was trying to turn onto Euclid, police said. The officer again told Rene to get out of the road, and approached him, Connellan said. Rene moved toward the sidewalk and the officer tried to secure him, police said. At that moment, Spruill came up from behind and grabbed the officer by the top of the shirt with both hands and tried to pull the officer away from Rene, Connellan said. The officer pushed Spruill, and another officer took Spruill away when he tried to move back toward Rene, Connellan said. While police were trying to gain control of Rene and were about to handcuff him, he broke away and fell between the curb and a parked vehicle, police said. He fought officers who tried to handcuff him until another officer with a police dog got him to comply, Connellan said. The German shepherd Beny, which was muzzled during the entire incident, struck in the middle of Rene's back with its muzzle to get him to free his arm from under his body so he could be handcuffed, police said. Police placed Rene and Spruill in the back of a prisoner van. Spruill kicked the inside of the vehicle, at one point causing the door to swing open and nearly hit an officer in the face, Connellan said. Both Rene and Spruill appeared to be intoxicated, police said. After the two players were in custody, police tried to disperse the crowd, which had become larger and more hostile as a result of the arrests, Connellan said. The canine officer told one group to leave the area or they would be arrested. At that moment, another group ran up behind that officer and the dog, which is trained in officer protection, struck one man in the chest with its muzzle, police said. That man then ran into the crowd. Spruill, a junior from Hillside, N.J., was charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree harassment, which are violations. Rene, a junior from Brooklyn, was charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct. They were both booked at the Onondaga County Justice Center jail, Connellan said. Police would not release the names of the officers. Spruill has started every game this season at outside linebacker. Rene is a kick returner and running back who suffered a season-ending injury. In the SU football program, Spruill is listed at 6 foot 1 inch and 216 pounds. Rene's listed at 5-7 and 176. SU coach Doug Marrone said in a written statement that he's "aware of the situation and will handle it in the appropriate fashion."

Tersyna (Tersina viridis) – gatunek małego ptaka z rodziny tanagrowatych (Thraupidae). Zamieszkuje północną i środkową Amerykę Południową. Jedyny przedstawiciel rodzaju Tersina. Gatunek nie jest zagrożony wymarciem. Długość ciała ok. 15 cm. Systematyka Tersyna była wcześniej klasyfikowana do podrodziny Tersininae Ridgway, 1907 – tersyny, w rodzinie trznadli. Pewna odmienność tersyny od pozostałych ptaków z rodziny trznadlowatych spowodowała rozbieżności w klasyfikacji tego gatunku. Obecnie ten gatunek jest zaliczany do rodziny tanagrowatych. Wyróżniono trzy podgatunki T. viridis: T. viridis grisescens – północna Kolumbia. T. viridis occidentalis – wschodnia Panama i Kolumbia (z wyjątkiem północnej części) na wschód przez Gujanę i północną Brazylię i na południe do Boliwii (z wyjątkiem południowo-wschodniej części) oraz północno-zachodnia Argentyna. T. viridis viridis – wschodnia i południowa Brazylia, południowa-wschodnia Boliwia, Paragwaj i północno-wschodnia Argentyna. Status IUCN uznaje tersynę za gatunek najmniejszej troski (LC, Least Concern) nieprzerwanie od 1988 roku. Liczebność światowej populacji nie została oszacowana, ale ptak ten opisywany jest jako dość pospolity. Trend liczebności populacji uznawany jest za stabilny.

An intensive anti-ageing technology – here by popular demand! Nano Technology converts Platinum into micro particles that are one billionth of a meter each. This allows better absorption into the skin. Platinum has the ability to restore the skin's ionic balance via emitting negative ions that are also effective in reactivating cell function and rebalancing the skin's metabolism. It is a concentrated anti-oxidant that breaks down the body's negative elements. This technology also has the ability to block the growth of Lipid Peroxide which is responsible for triggering blemishes, sagging skin and wrinkles. All these exciting characteristics make this an intensive anti-ageing technology, here by popular demand! We currently offer Platinum Nano Technology with Nourishing E.C.I.T. (Electrical Collagen Induction Therapy) – This brand new treatment uses extra fine and short needles to stimulate the skin – enough to encourage plumpness and new collagen growth but does not require topical anaesthetic. There is no down time at all!! It is inclusive of a Hydrodermabrasion cleanse, followed by the E.C.I.T and a mask, then finished with an infusion of serums and gels using Radio Frequency (also known as skin tightening machine). Each session is priced at $600 per area for one session. We do recommend a minimum of 6 to 10 sessions on a monthly basis for the very best and longest lasting results.

My dad has always told me that he admires how brave I am. As a child, I was super resilient. I would get hurt time after time and I would still get back up and keep going. Fighting for my dreams was natural to me. I've always been happy to travel and explore overseas on my own. I've changed jobs almost more times than I've changed underwear. I've experienced tragic loss that almost broke me but I had the bravery to believe that it was all for a purpose. Spoiler alert: it was! I quit my six-figure corporate job, without any sort of safety net, after spending 10 years building a lucrative career. I've done things in my business that were new and risky and then when they were established and profitable, I reinvented myself in pursuit of my soul's calling. People have called me crazy to turn my back on a program (that was a money machine) in order to do something far less certain. People have called me crazy to be so open about my spiritual nature, my practices, my rituals and my beliefs because it will 'turn people off'. Honestly, I don't know any other way. Bravery is in my DNA. But I've come to realise that bravery doesn't come naturally to everyone! The words 'courage' and 'bravery' are often used interchangeably. But there is an important difference! Courage is the ability to do something that frightens you. Bravery is the act of doing said things (e.g courageous behavior). Bravery comes in many forms and often what might not seem courageous or brave to one person might be to another. Sometimes it's doing what seems crazy. Sometimes it's valuing something that no-one around you gets. Sometimes it's stepping out of a proverbial closet of some sort. Sometimes it means giving up on something that has brought success in pursuit of your soul. Sometimes it is when you keep going. Sometimes it is taking a job you don't really want to feed your family. Sometimes it is getting bridge work to ease the pressure while you "create". Sometimes it is listening to your soul without any idea what the outcome is. Sometimes it means standing up for your values amongst people who disagree. Sometimes it means showing your family or friends who you really are. Sometimes it means really feeling what is going on rather than numbing out. I'm not here to teach you how to undertake massive feats of bravery like jumping in front of a bus to save a child. I'm here to teach you how to be brave in your everyday life and business. To be the heroine of your own life. To rewrite your own story. To finally follow the call of your soul and launch your work into the world! So what does bravery have to do with your business? To put it simply, business requires you to take courageous action. They say business is the biggest personal development that you'll do in your life. That's because it requires bravery. But without brave actions, nothing in your life or business will change! So how do you bring more bravery to your business? I don't believe that we talk about bravery enough – especially as women in business. In our current society, it's only little boys who are taught to be brave. While little girls are taught to be perfect. Research by HP found that women are far less likely to apply for a job if they don't meet 100% of the criteria. Whereas men are far more likely to apply – even if they only meet 60% of the requirements! So as women in business, how do we beat the odds and breakthrough to bravery? Bravery isn't always easy but it WILL be worth it! Are you with me? Do you struggle to invest in yourself?

The contentious $15 million project had been approved by the port authority in 2014, withstanding a challenge by opponents by being given the green light by the Federal Court of Canada last year. The project would have seen up to four million metric tonnes of American thermal coal per year sent by rail to the facility, with potential to expand that to eight million tonnes per year. The coal would have been shipped to Texada Island and loaded onto barges for export.

Funding Circle increase diversity for their passive investors by reducing the minimum holding in any individual loan from £20 to £10… ThinCats open up their IFISA to new customers… The Secret Investor is pleased to see his first loan on the ArchOver platform to be backed by an R&D tax rebate paid back after just 2 months. Lent to Date: £648,700,000 - £18.9 million growth (3%) in the past fortnight. When this blog was compiled, there were 83 loans in the pipeline with 1 imminently due to be drawndown. Highlighted Loan: Property Developers from the Midlands were looking for >£2.1 million out of a total facility of £4.5 million to refinance existing borrowing from Assetz Capital as they continue to convert a former office block into apartments. Floors 1 to 5 are nearing completion and so this facility will finance Floors 6 to 9. There are a further 3 Floors but their development has not yet begun, that work will be undertaken in a separate Phase. Each apartment finished to date has been let within a month. With a return of 9% pa available and a LTV below 60%, I was happy to invest. Lent to Date: £25.2 million – latest available figure. In the past fortnight, I received 5 email notifications about new auctions launched on the site. Highlighted Loan: An office partition company requested £80k to support their expanding business however profit margins have been very low over the past few years. This was explained via the Q&A as being due to incorrect pricing and is claimed to have been corrected but will orders still come in when charges go up? The business was only formed in 2015 and the learning process appears to be continuing therefore this seemed to be very high risk with no more than a director guarantee at the back of it. A return of 11% pa wasn't enough to tempt me. Funding Circle are unique amongst the major P2P platforms that lend to SMEs in not allowing investors to choose who they lend to. Instead two managed accounts are offered which distribute funds across differing risk profiles of loans within their portfolio. These options are projected to offer returns in the ranges of 5% - 5.5% pa and 6% - 7% pa. As an active rather than passive investor, I am no longer involved with Funding Circle however posters on forums who remain with this site express concerns over the apparent lack of due diligence that is undertaken. Platform News: Funding Circle have reduced the minimum value of a loan part (formerly Minimum Bid but investors are no longer allowed to place bids!) from £20 to £10. This will increase the diversity for smaller investors and should also give more consistent returns for a wider number of people. Lent to Date: £280,088,459 at end of September – figure updated monthly. There were 13 loans waiting to be filled when this blog was compiled – up from 8 a fortnight ago. Highlighted Loan: Property Developer from the Midlands requested their first £235k tranche of a £505k facility secured against a former farm which has planning permission for a housing development. The construction is expected to take 9 months and, as is standard practice on this site, the borrower will have to pay the accrued interest to renew after 6 months. Funds will be released such that the LTV will never be allowed to exceed 60%. I invested for a return of 12% pa with the intention of not renewing. Defaults: Good and bad news – one property secured against a loan of £100k has been sold for £30k. FundingSecure are now considering legal action on the valuers and pursuing the borrower for bankruptcy. Properties that are backing a handful of other loans are close to being sold although one other borrower is about to be served a Formal Demand. When this blog was compiled there was 1 auction taking place which was the 10th tranche of funding to German Property Developers who have been mentioned in previous blogs. As ever for this borrower, no financial information was provided but, despite this, the £100k loan was 92% funded. It offered a return of 8% pa. There were 2 auctions taking place when this blog was compiled but both had been on the system for some weeks and have been discussed in previous blogs. They are now 100% funded and due to end this evening. Lent to Date: £293,779,000 – fortnightly increase of £3,371,000 – 1.16% growth. Highlighted Loan: Property Developers were looking to raise £843k to repay existing borrowing that had been used to construct 5 dwellings. One of these has already been sold. The capital injection will be used to purchase the next development plot, being repaid (hopefully) in the next 12 months when the remaining 4 properties are sold. Promisingly, one of them is already under offer. Investors were offered a return of 8.75% pa which seemed quite reasonable. Platform News: Having made their IFISA product available to existing customers just over a month ago, ThinCats have opened it up to new investors and plan to accept transfers from existing ISAs early in the New Year. There have been no emails announcing auctions on this site for more than 2 weeks. Lent to Date: £45,330,476 – fortnightly increase of £517,020 – 1.15% growth. When this blog was compiled, 2 auctions were waiting to be funded on the site. Highlighted Loan: Makers of promotional videos were looking to raise £130k of expansion capital to enlarge their office space and then staff & furnish it. The output on their website looked very slick and their most recent annual profits more than covered the capital being borrowed so I was happy to invest for a return of 9% pa. Defaults: A printers were classified as defaulted just after the last blog went to press. The company had gone into liquidation and they were more than 120 days behind with their repayments. I only had £40 invested in this loan. Lent to Date: £82,608,000 – fortnightly increase of £977,000 – 1.2% growth. There were 3 auctions taking place when this blog was compiled. Highlighted Loan: Providers of news content for law firms required £105k last week. This was an advance against the tax R&D rebate they had applied for. They current use IBM's Watson language processor to automatically extract content from the internet which is of interest to their clients but are developing their own software to undertake this task. I invested for a return of 10% pa. Short and Sweet: In August I invested in one of ArchOver's loans which was secured against a future R&D rebate from the HMRC. These have the highest returns on the ArchOver platform at 10% pa so I thought I might be taking a risk however little more the 2 months later the tax refund has materialised and the loan repaid. I was keen to invest in the next loan of this nature (see above). Lent to Date: £3.76 billion – an increase of £50 million over the past 2 weeks – 1.35% growth. Returns: Zopa's 2 accounts offer returns of 4.5% and 5.2% pa with the latter allocating some funds to riskier loans that offer higher returns. Lent to Date: £2,837,452,350 – an increase of £26,587,631 over the past 2 weeks – 0.95% growth. Returns: Interest rates are set according to supply and demand. They currently range from 4.1% pa to 6.4% pa depending on the length of the investment. These figures have increased by 0.4% and decreased by 0.3% respectively over the past fortnight. Lent to Date: £136,507,070 – an increase of £1,763,866 over the past 2 weeks – 1.31% growth. Returns: 4.5% pa and 6.0% pa via an IFISA or standard account for 3 and 5 year investments respectively.

CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie lays out best-case scenario for 2020 season May. 20, 2020 5:30 p.m. TORONTO — Commissioner Randy Ambrosie gave the CFL some much-needed breathing room Wednesday. Ambrosie told CFL season-ticket holders during a video conference the earliest the league could start the 2020 regular season is September. And even if football does return, Ambrosie removed the guarantee that the Grey Cup game would be played in Regina. But Ambrosie again reiterated a cancelled '20 campaign remains a distinct possibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By saying the season won't start until September at earliest and leaving the door open to games without fans, Ambrosie buys the CFL some time to explore all options as the league continues to talk to all levels of government for assistance. "It (an abbreviated season) is one of the scenarios we're pursuing," Ambrosie said. "But the truth is I think when we're done, we're going to be able to say more or less we exhausted all possibilities. "What you have to do at the end is narrow it down to those that represent the best chance to play if we can and if not to make sure we're ready to play in '21 and beyond." And Ambrosie said that includes entertaining the possibility of teams playing inter-division games during a scaled-down regular season. The prospect of the CFL season starting in September isn't new. Ambrosie told The Canadian Press in April, "there's a lot pointing to September as being a reasonable person's view of when we might be able to resume." Last month, the CFL postponed the start of training camps — which were to open last week— and pushed back the June 11 start of the regular season to July, at earliest. The CFL has also called upon the Canadian government for assistance. The league asked for $30 million immediately, additional monies if the '20 season began late and up to $120 million for the worst-case scenario — the cancellation of the entire campaign. "I think the conversation we're having with the government is very important," Ambrosie said. "We're going to continue talking to them, we're going to continue to look at the programs they're creating and ones they've encouraged us to look at. "We will be having conversations with the provincial and municipal governments as well. Essentially we have to be partners with everybody." The CFL is also changing its '20 Grey Cup plans. Regina was scheduled to hold the game Nov. 22 but instead has been awarded the 2022 contest. Hamilton remains the 2021 Grey Cup host. If there's a shortened season, the Grey Cup finalist with the best regular-season record will host the CFL championship game. The contest could still be played in Regina if the Saskatchewan Roughriders were the finalist with the better record. But Ambrosie said the CFL is also open to playing the Grey Cup in December if that helped the scheduling of regular-season games. "Obviously with all the things that have been happening around the pandemic, having a traditional Grey Cup just isn't possible," Ambrosie said. "We are disappointed … but we're looking forward to going back (to Regina in 2022)." Ambrosie said the CFL has looked into a hub-city approach for the 2020 season, but wouldn't divulge specific details. "We think enough of it that we have a committee working on it," he said. "What stands out on this particular issue is just how many moving parts there are. "That doesn't mean it's not a viable option. It just means there's a lot of moving parts." Ambrosie said playing games with fans — under strict social distancing guidelines — or without are both being considered. "If the safety issues could all be attended to and we could work out the financial model, man, I'd still like to see our players perform," Ambrosie said. "If I looked at it purely through the lens of knowing how hard players work to be ready to play and then we have this class of draft picks and how long they have waited for their shot to play pro football … I'd say, man, I'd vote for playing. "But at this stage of my life, a little older and wiser I suppose, I know I have to take into account the health and safety and ultimately the financial considerations. Right now, we have to run these ideas to ground and we'll make the right decision when we know more." Regardless of whether the CFL has a season, the league cancelled its Touchdown Atlantic game slated for July 25. The Toronto Argonauts and Roughriders were to meet at Huskies Stadium in Halifax. "It's our intention to come back (to the Maritimes) once this crisis passes," Ambrose said. "We will continue to embrace Atlantic Canada as a critical part of the CFL's future." Essentially, Ambrosie said the CFL is keeping all possibilities open before deciding what's next. And with over three months before September starts, the league would appear to have the luxury of some time before having to make its next move. "The best thing we can do is explore every option because in the end failure is not an option," he said. "We're not going to allow ourselves to be knocked down by this crisis. "We have to find a way to stay on our feet. We have to be open to conversations with everyone. The timeline is when we believe we know everything we need to know to make the right decision. It's not so much a timeline based on a calendar, it's a timeline based upon information." This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 20, 2020.

Local Letters Film: The French Nuclear Trap, Woodbridge , Why we selected this film "EDF want to charge the British public a £6 annual premium on energy bills that will go straight to the French government to finance Sizewell C. To add insult to injury this will make every family an accessory to the further destruction of our heritage areas by helping EDF build their redundant white elephant on our precious coastline. This ridiculous, government supported scheme represents the shifting of the financing for new nuclear plants from the much-trumpeted original position of 'no subsidies' to the unavoidable reality of 'transfer the cost to the public'. It includes picking up some of the financial risk for the inevitable overruns in costs that will occur from building Sizewell C. This is a bad deal for all consumers in the UK, in particular for the residents of east Suffolk." Pete Wilkinson Director's statement "Those who champion nuclear energy view the world through an industry, the decline of which they refuse to acknowledge. The revolution of renewables underway in our societies is seen as an attack. They stubbornly maintain that nuclear power generates safer and cheaper electricity than all the other energy sources… Our film strives to demonstrate that not only is this argument wrong, but that it is concealing a disastrous financial reality: the bill that future generations will have to pay due to nuclear power is colossal. Each nuclear disaster (Chernobyl, Fukushima), by increasing the obligation for new safety measures, sends costs spiralling and results in the construction of prototypes such as the EPR, which is exorbitant and so technologically complicated that many engineers are now saying that it will never work." Patrick Benquet For the last 50 years, France has generated 75% of its electricity through nuclear power – the only country in the world to do so. This dependence is now sending the state-owned company EDF towards bankruptcy. The new French EPR reactor has experienced many completion delays in Flamanville, France, and in Finland. The costs keep on rising and France is now spending tens of billions in a bid to master this excessively complex technology. So why has France approved the construction of two more EPRs in the UK at Hinkley Point despite fierce opposition even within EDF? An increasing number of countries are phasing out nuclear power, we still do not know how to decommission plants at the end of their lifespan and the cost of renewables is constantly falling. France is finding itself increasingly isolated in its pro-nuclear choices. These choices weigh very heavily on the State's budget and mean that France is lagging extremely behind in the energy transition. Who will pay the bill for nuclear energy? Film: The French Nuclear Trap, Aldeburgh Why we selected this film A Report on Fukushima by Mr. Kazuhiko Kobayshi Together Against Sizewell C are pleased to welcome Mr Kazuhiko Kobayashi from Fukushima, Japan. 19:30 on Tuesday 26 Nov 2019 Leiston Community Centre Download a flyer here On a recent visit to Cumbria by Kazuhiko, Marianne Birkby reports: "Members of Radiation Free Lakeland met up with Kazuhiko last autumn to show him the Sellafield area and he told us that there is money for climate research but not so much for research into the impacts of radiation on our food and health. He is a kind gentle man and he was visibly shocked to see the scale of Sellafield. Kazuhiko broke down in tears within the shadow of Sellafield, at the impacts the nuclear industry is having on our children's health. His passionate opposition to nuclear power and weapons, his work for change and to help those impacted, is an inspiration" "Whether use of nuclear weapons or accidents of nuclear power plants by natural catastrophe or human errors or terror attacks, the danger that the whole earth could be destroyed, contaminated and rendered uninhabitable forever, is drawing ever closer. Nuclear disaster, which cannot be excluded 100percent, could pollute the earth and not only human bodies but all kinds of lives with its radioactivity over hundreds years and longer. But nobody can take responsibility" Kazuhiko Kobayashi has only one wish as he approaches the autumn of his life: 'To speak from my innermost soul, to follow my conscience and to act for the suffering of innocent (Fukushima) children.' TASC is honoured to host such a dedicated opponent of a technology which has devastated the lives of tens of thousands of Japanese people and which continues to poison the Pacific Ocean as a result of the Fukushima disaster. Our hearts go out to those all over the world who have suffered from the effects of civil and military uses of nuclear power and we thank Kazuhiko for bringing his warning from Japan to Suffolk. Let's hope we heed it. TASC will always campaign against irresponsible governments and this dangerous industry Mr. Kazuhiko organises respite for children and families who have been impacted by the ongoing Fukushima disaster. Proceeds from the evening will be put towards the Children of Fukushima Fund. Entrance fee £3.00 Organised by NFLA, BANNG, TASC, Stop Hinkley Saturday 26th October 10.30am – 1.30pm, Studio 1, 'Firstsite' Gallery Lewis Gardens, High Street, Colchester, CO1 1JH New nuclear power plants in England - The climate, siting, waste and finance risks of Bradwell B, Sizewell C and Hinkley Point C A seminar for councillors, council officers and NGOs on the risks of new nuclear in England and the benefits of pursuing decentralised energy alternatives to mitigate the climate emergency The seminar is a free event open to councillors and council officers, nuclear policy NGOs, environmental NGOs and those simply interested in this subject matter.

The Nuclear Trap Film with Speakers and Panel The story behind EDF's decision to invest two-thirds of the £20 billion Hinkley Point project, a forerunner for the Sizewell C EPR development, is the subject of Patrick Benquet's film, 'The French Nuclear Trap'. TASC will screen the UK premier of this film at Leiston Film Theatre on Sunday 29th September. The film runs for about 70 minutes, there is free entry, no pre-booking required and the doors open 2.30pm. "Those who champion nuclear energy view the world through an industry, the decline of which they refuse to acknowledge. The revolution of renewables underway in our societies is seen as an attack. They stubbornly maintain that nuclear power generates safer and cheaper electricity than all the other energy sources… Our film strives to demonstrate that not only is this argument wrong, but that it is concealing a disastrous financial reality: the bill that future generations will have to pay due to nuclear power is colossal. Each nuclear disaster (Chernobyl, Fukushima), by increasing the obligation for new safety measures, sends costs spiralling and results in the construction of prototypes such as the EPR, which is exorbitant and so technologically complicated that many engineers are now saying that it will never work." FAULTY WELDS AT FLAMANVILLE AND FINANCIAL FRAILTY CAST A LONG SHADOW OVER EDF'S COMPETENCE AND SUITABILITY TO BUILD SIZEWELL C. TASC have grave concerns about the financial stability of EDF and the safety of their nuclear reactors following the announcement earlier this month that more welding problems have been identified in its nuclear reactor components, triggering a 7% fall in the company's share price on the day of the announcement. EDF has been dogged by repeated problems with the quality of nuclear reactor components, including the previously reported faulty welds in its flagship EPR project in Flamanville, France, as well as anomalies in the records for manufacturing other reactor components at the Creusot forge. These add to the concerns about the suitability of nuclear energy as a safe source of electricity following the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters. Despite EDF's often repeated and wrongly claimed assertion that 'the waste problems is solved', nuclear power also faces a raft of as-yet unresolved issues – some of which are possible 'show stoppers' - of how to render some lethal radioactive waste safe and permanently isolated from the environment for thousands of years. There are additional doubts about the economic viability of new nuclear power as the costs of renewable energy plunges, highlighted by the recent offshore wind contracts being priced at less than half the price that EDF will be charging for electricity from the Hinkley Point C reactors if they are ever completed. On 10th September the Financial Times reported, "EDF is engaged in a €45bn investment programme to prolong the life of its (French) fleet of nuclear power stations but must also invest in renewables and close 14 plants by 2035 as part of a push to cut the percentage of nuclear electricity used in France from 72 per cent to 50 per cent. "It must find the cash for all of that while carrying €37.4bn in net debt and roughly double that if some hybrid debt and its pension and nuclear liabilities are included. "The government injected billions into EDF through a €4bn capital raise in 2017, while the company's previous chief financial officer quit over concerns about strains Hinkley Point, the UK-based power station, was putting on the balance sheet." Pete Wilkinson, TASC's Chairman, said today, 'It is now beyond credible that EDF can be given the responsibility to build EPRs in the UK. They are financially incompetent and the entire EPR programme – and hence the government's nuclear energy component of its so-called energy policy – is in tatters. They face unresolved waste management problems, growing concerns about the health effect of routine radioactive waste discharges and mounting opposition in the east Suffolk area which faces devastation should Sizewell C be given approval. Time to dump nuclear and EDF along with it.' Thanks to Dr. Paul Dorfman for his assistance to TASC with the film. CPBFILMS Paris for allowing us to Premier the documentary.

Vector (Cockroach and Mosquito Control) Pima County » Newsroom Archive » Health Department Archived News » County, health providers and others working to prevent Hepatitis A Health Care and Homeless Services Providers Teaming Up to Prevent the Spread of Hepatitis A Dec 14, 2018 | Read More News In response an increase in hepatitis A cases in Pima County, local health agencies are working together to increase vaccination against hepatitis A and educating those with a higher risk of getting the virus. So far in 2018, there have been 22 confirmed hepatitis A cases in Pima County. This number represents a sharp increase compared to just 5 cases in 2017 and 12 cases in 2016. "In other parts of the U.S., hepatitis A outbreaks are becoming more common and can be very difficult to stop once they begin," said Dr. Carlos Perez-Velez, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for the Pima County Health Department. "That is why we are working hard to get ahead of this sudden increase in cases. By working closely with our partners, we can raise awareness about what is going on and take steps to increase vaccination and education among the people most at risk in our community." Health Department disease investigators have linked the spike in cases to people experiencing homelessness and people who use illicit drugs – both injected and non-injected. Living in unsanitary and often close quarters, sharing food and other items, inconsistent access to bathroom and handwashing facilities, and not having routine access to health-care, can all increase the risk of spreading disease amongst these populations. Hepatitis A is a virus that attacks the liver. It can be prevented with a safe, effective vaccine. Severity can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks, to a severe one persisting for several months. Although rare, hepatitis A can cause liver failure and even death – especially in persons with a weakened immune system. It is highly contagious and spreads when a person unknowingly ingests the virus from objects, food, or drinks contaminated by unperceivable amounts of stool from an infected person. Hepatitis A can also spread from close personal contact with an infected person such as through sex or caring for someone who is ill. Symptoms of hepatitis A include yellow skin and eyes, fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, upset stomach, vomiting, stomach pain, dark urine and light-colored stools (poop). Symptoms develop between two to six weeks after an exposure, and people can spread the virus to others before symptoms appear. In response to this increase in cases, the Health Department is asking healthcare providers, and those who work with people in these groups, to provide vaccination or information on where to get vaccinated to their patients and clients. Among the cases being investigated, officials recommend vaccination for: People who use injection and non-injection street drugs. Men who have sex with men. People who have been recently incarcerated. People traveling to countries where hepatitis A is common. People who live with or have sex with someone who has hepatitis A. "Making vaccination available to people who are most at risk for getting and spreading hepatitis A is the most important thing we can do to stop this rise in cases," said Dr. Perez-Velez. Vaccination is also recommended for: People with chronic (lifelong) liver diseases, such as cirrhosis, hepatitis B or hepatitis C, who have a higher risk of poor outcomes if infected. Children, who are routinely vaccinated between 12 and 23 months of age. Older children and adolescents can get the vaccine after 23 months. People being treated with clotting-factor concentrates. Adults who have not been vaccinated previously and want to be protected against hepatitis A. Hepatitis A vaccination is readily available from your doctor's office, health clinic, and many retail pharmacies. The vaccine is also available through Health Department Public Health Clinics. Good hygiene is also important in preventing the spread of hepatitis A to others. In addition to getting vaccinated, people should: Wash their hands with soap and water after going to the bathroom and before eating or making food. Avoid having sex with anyone who has hepatitis A. Not share towels, toothbrushes, eating utensils, food, drinks, smokes or drug "works" with others. For general questions about hepatitis A and where to find hepatitis A vaccination in Pima County, call (520) 724-7797 or visit the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hav/

The category has released a fiery statement claiming it's missed out on a spot at the Adelaide street race next March, and that it's been bumped for a "one-make Asian Audi R8 series" – likely to be the Asian Audi R8 LMS Cup. The news means that the Australian GT season is now likely to start at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. "This is incredibly disappointing for Australian GT and many of our teams who look forward to starting each year at the Adelaide event," said Australian GT manager Ken Collier. "Our application was made some time ago and we had a good discussion with the Adelaide 500 Motor Sport Manager, Jeff Mattner, during the Supercars round at Sandown. "In fact, we agreed to change the format of our races to fit in with the Adelaide 500 requirements, which had already been written into the 2018 series regulations draft. The statement effectively confirms that Asian Audi R8 LMS Cup will visit Adelaide next March, a wide departure from the 2017 schedule that took in Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and China. "Some of our teams will be able to compete in the Adelaide event as Australian GT has been dismissed from the event in preference to the one-make Asian Audi R8 series," said Mr Collier in the AGT statement. "There will be a dozen or so cars come to Australia from Asia, and the field will be topped up with Australian and New Zealand entries. "This is good for the local Audi teams but the balance of our teams who compete with other marques such as Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes Benz, Nissan and Porsche will be excluded. Adelaide 500 organisers have confirmed to Motorsport.com that the full support bill will be confirmed on Wednesday morning.

The former co-owner of the Portland Aquarium has been arrested and accused of violating a federal prison-release agreement barring him from working at aquariums. Ammon Covino was arrested by federal probation officers in Texas on a federal warrant last week. A federal magistrate judge in Austin denied Covino's request for bond Monday. He will be brought to U.S. District Court in Miami, where he will face the probation-violation charge. Specific allegations against Covino and the circumstances of last week's arrest have not been made public. In 2013, Covino, 42, was sentenced to a year and a day in prison after he was convicted of conspiring to buy protected sharks and rays that were illegally harvested from Florida -- a class-D felony. The sentencing judge then barred Covino from participating in any activities that include exhibiting fish and wildlife. While the 2013 charges against Covino centered on his family's Idaho Aquarium, court documents say he also tried to illegally acquire two lemon sharks for the Portland Aquarium in October 2012, when the facility was under construction off Oregon 99E in the Oak Grove area south of Milwaukie. In August 2013, a former Portland Aquarium employee released a "death log" to The Oregonian/OregonLive, detailing more than 200 animal deaths at the facility over a three-month span. An investigation by The Oregonian/OregonLive also revealed that the for-profit aquarium's veterinarian left over what he called concerns about animal welfare. The aquarium in Clackamas County continues to draw protesters' attention. On Saturday, protesters demonstrated at the Portland Aquarium in hopes of calling attention to what they called small enclosures, dirty conditions and stress to the animals from repeated handling by customers. Aquarium managers say their exhibits meet industry standards. They say the facility, which also exhibits birds and reptiles, sees handling animals as a hands-on learning experience. After Covino was convicted, the Portland Aquarium's ownership was reorganized, listing other members of his family as major officers, according to Oregon Corporation Division records. Covino's family also continues to operate similar facilities in Austin and San Antonio, Texas. The original Idaho Aquarium, now called the Aquarium of Boise, has been turned over to new owners and now operates as a nonprofit.

Home Microsoft Design flaw in Microsoft's Control Flow Guard allows complete bypass Researchers discover design weakness to bypass Microsoft's Control Flow Guard in Windows Researchers from Italy's University of Padua have discovered a fundamental design weakness in Control Flow Guard (CFG), which compromises the security of Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Microsoft had first released the CFG in Windows 8.1 Update 3 and has since used in the subsequent Windows operating systems, including the latest version of Windows 10. For those unaware, Control Flow Guard (CFG) is a highly-optimized platform security feature that was created to combat memory corruption vulnerabilities in Windows. CFG places tight restrictions on where an application can execute code from, it makes it much harder for exploits to execute arbitrary code through vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows. However, Microsoft who wanted to improve performance and make CFG backward-compatible, have ended up making some design flaws in CFG to call portions of code that should not have been allowed. As a result of this flaw, it makes it easy for the attackers to bypass the CFG. One of the researchers, Andrea Biondo, at the university, states that: The [control flow] restriction is precise only when the allowed targets are aligned to 16 bytes. If they are not, then there is a 16-byte imprecision around the target […] By combining the presence of unaligned targets in common libraries with the predictability of the layout of functions generated by the compiler, we can bypass CFG. The Italian researchers have dubbed this exploit as the Back to the Epilogue (BATE) attack, which they will be explaining in detail at the Black Hat Asia Conference this month. They will demonstrate how the flaw can be utilized in real-world scenarios by using a proof-of-concept code to bypass CFG on Microsoft's Edge browser on Windows 10 (64-bit). According to the report, more than 500 million Windows systems currently have the feature, which leaves them at risk of exploitation. Microsoft have been notified of the security issue by the researchers, which the company plans to fix as part of the upcoming Windows 10 RS4 release. Source: Dark reading

Couple married nearly 80 years die just hours apart Featured Image Credit: WLWT Two 100-year-olds from Ohio have set a high bar for married couples after they spent almost 80 years together before they both died within hours of one another. Hubert and June Malicote, who were both born in July 1922, tied the knot on 8 June, 1943 but were soon forced apart by World War II, when Hubert was stationed in Hawaii. June was waiting for him at the station when he returned, and the happy couple went on to welcome three children, seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. On 30 November, Hubert passed away, marking 'the end of their 81-year love story', according to his obituary. Around 20 hours later, June died on the afternoon of 1 December. Their 76-year-old son, Sam, said he felt 'sad' at the passing of his parents, but told The Dayton Daily News: "I shouldn't. Who can expect to live a life like that? They went out together," he added. June entered hospice care after their family had celebrated Thanksgiving on 24 November, and Hubert 'fell apart' while visiting her the next day. June and Herbert met in church. Credit: WLWT The 100-year-old husband was also admitted to hospice care, and after being unconscious for days in the same room, Sam said his father died of a 'broken heart'. Prior to his passing, Hubert reflected on his relationship with June and revealed the pair sought to avoid arguments, telling Today: "If there's controversy, you might have to walk away for a couple minutes. Then you come back in and change the subject or you work it out." The husband said at the time he couldn't imagine life without June, saying: "It's kind of like if we aren't together, the team is broken. We've had a wonderful life." June and Herbert celebrated their 100th birthdays in July. Credit: WLWT Hubert and June's daughter, Jo, revealed her parents held hands and said goodnight to each other every night, adding: "Then in the morning, they are so happy to see each other. They greet each other with huge smiles." The couple celebrated their 100th birthdays with a joint party at the Eaton Road Church of God in Hamilton, Ohio, in July, when about 130 family, friends, neighbours and church members joined Hubert and June to celebrate. Speaking to Fox News Digital at the time, Hubert said: "We just kind of live by the day and all of a sudden we're 100 years old." The party was held at the same location the couple had met, though at the time the church went by a different name.

"What are clouds made of?." Earth, Weather and climate, Q-files Encyclopedia, 5 May. 2016. Earth, Weather and climate, s.v. "What are clouds made of?," accessed April 22, 2019. Clouds are made of tiny ice crystals or drops of water that form around dust particles in the atmosphere. The droplets are minute—measuring just a hundredth of a millimetre across. Whether a cloud is made up of ice or water droplets depends on the height of the cloud above the ground and the temperature of the atmosphere around it. Being so tiny, water droplets can remain in liquid form at temperatures of down to –30°C (–20°F), when normally they would have turned to ice. At extremely low temperatures found at high altitude, clouds are made up of ice crystals only.

Presentation at the DGMK/BGR event "Geosciences in Exploration and Production: Information exchange for research and Industry", 23.05.2000 in Hannover Will the hydrocarbon era finish soon? Oil and gas are at present the most important energy fuels. Together they have a 60 %-share of the primary energy supply. Since more than 100 years oil is produced commercially. Usage of gas followed later. Oil is of major importance for transport, heat production and chemical industry. On the other hand gas is of great importance for heat and electricity production as well as for chemical industry. It is well known that oil and gas are finite resources representing stored solar energy. Consumption of these resources is reaching recently huge dimensions. Yearly we are consuming so much oil and gas as the nature produced in several million years. In the light of different, particular contrary statements to the availability of oil and gas the question arises, how long the hydrocarbon era will continue? Figure 1 shows schematically the oil production in the time frame between birth of Christ and the year 2500. In this scale the hydrocarbon era is a short episode. At the beginning we will define some terms, such as crude oil , natural gas, reserves and resources for your better understanding. As agreed reserves are defined as hydrocarbon quantities which are proven in fields and can be produced economically with known techniques. Usually these are under normal conditions about 30 to 50 percent of conventional oil and about 60 to 90 percent of conventional gas, which are initially in place. Hereby we consider for resources as well as for reserves the recoverable amount. In comparison, the figures for resources in relation to reserves have a higher degree of uncertainty due to less information. The current situation in relation to reserves and resources will be analysed in the following focussing on conventional oil and gas only. Figure 2 gives an impression of the estimates on the development of the estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) for conventional oil obtained from different authors as well as the development of reserves and cumulative production since 1940. As you can see, there is an increase of EUR estimates which corresponds with increasing reserves to the early 1980-ies followed by estimates levelled between 200 billion (109) tons (1,470 bn b) and 400 billion tons (2,940 bn b). According to BGR (1998) the figure for EUR is around 350 billion tons (2,570 bn b). Extreme figures are given by Campbell (245 bn t ; 1,800 bn b) and Odell (400 bn t; 2,940 bn b). The latest estimates of the USGS (2000) results in about 450 bn t (3,300 bn b) for conventional oil including NGL. This estimate include as a new category "reserve growth", which is comparable to the amounts of resources. In figure 2 it is an asymptotic convergence of the EUR estimates to a maximum value. Areas with expected oil fields are well known and distribution of oil fields are limited by depth and temperature. Therefore we can't expected sensational discoveries of new oil fields. An important factor for an increase of the EUR could be a higher recovery from known fields, higher than the common recovery between 30 and 50 percent. This will depend on progress of enhanced oil producing technology and better understanding of reservoirs as well as on the oil price level. In the next 10 to 30 years the point will be reached where half of estimated EUR for conventional oil is produced ("depletion mid-point") considering oil production at the current level ore rising. Passing the depletion mid-point the oil production will continuously decrease. Figure 3 shows an analogue picture for conventional gas. It can be recognised, that the EUR estimates in the last years differ between 350 (12,350 tcf) and 500 trillion (1012) m3 (17,650 tcf). According to BGR (1998) the figure for EUR is 439 trillion m3 (15,500 tcf), and in reconciliation to the newest published USGS figure of 436 trillion m3 (15,400 tcf). Increase in EUR-estimates for natural gas since 1980 results equally from increment of reserves and (additional) resources. This increase could be a result of intensified exploration in relation to gas due to raising oil prices in the previous years as well as a better understanding of natural gas systems. World-wide effort for a wider utilisation of natural gas definitely influenced this process. Further exploration for natural gas was accelerated for reasons of environmental protection and diversifying sources of energy supply. Differing from oil the plateau for EUR-estimations is not yet visible. This shows, that the exploration for natural gas is less mature than exploration for oil. Figure 4 and 5 give an impression of the lifetime of oil and gas considering different growth scenarios. Starting point is the EUR-estimate for conventional oil and gas at year-end 1999. EUR is divided into cumulative production, reserves and resources. Additionally, the cumulative production within the next 25 years at different growth rates (from 0 to 6 percent per year) is shown. Figure 4 shows the increasing critical situation for conventional oil. The production peak will be reached in the near future with the depletion mid-point in period 2010 to 2020. About half of the remaining (reserves plus resources) oil would be produced and all now known reserves nearly consumed within the next 25 years at a growth rate of 2 percent, which corresponds to the IEA forecast (IEA 1998). Nearly all of the remaining conventional oil would be consumed to the year 2025 considering a growth rate of 6 percent. This scenario is unrealistic in view of approaching depletion mid-point. The situation for natural gas is more favourable (fig. 5). Due to the later onset in production only 15 percent of EUR of natural gas is consumed in respect to 35 percent for oil. This can be explained with the later start of gas utilisation compared to oil. Only 35 percent of EUR will be used in 2025 at an annual growth rate in production of 3 percent, which corresponds to the IEA forecast and is comparable with the current situation for conventional oil. Even at a growth rate of 6 percent per year the depletion mid-point would be exceeded. Furthermore, the depletion mid-point isn't so important for natural gas as for oil. The production level for gas can be sustained nearly constant for a long period and beyond the depletion mid-point due to another expiration curve of long-term plateau-production. The regional distribution of EUR for conventional oil is given in figure 6. The Middle East owns the largest potential followed by CIS and North America. Remark, that in North America more than half of EUR is already produced, in the CIS about one third and in the Middle East one fifth respectively. OPEC accounts for 73 percent of the world oil reserves and 26 percent of the resources, the Middle East for 61 percent of reserves and 20 percent of resources. Figure 7 shows the regional distribution of EUR for conventional natural gas. CIS has in contrasts to conventional oil the greatest EUR of natural gas followed by Middle East and North America. Note, that in North America about half of EUR is already produced, in the CIS about 10 percent and in the Middle East only few percents. An overview of the countries with the biggest oil and gas reserves is given in figure 8 and 9. Saudi Arabia is dominating in oil, CIS and Iran are dominating more in gas. About 70 percent of known world oil reserves fall inside a "strategic ellipse", spreading form Middle East to Western Siberia. Regarding natural gas about 65 percent of world reserves fall inside this "strategic ellipse", but extending somewhat more to the north. The European natural gas market (Fig.10) extends to Russian Western Siberia and Kazakhstan in the east and to North Africa in the south. The consumption of natural gas in the European market was in the last years at a level of 1 trillion (1012) m3 with minor variability. About three quarter of supply comes from only four countries: Russia, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Algeria, whereby Russia produces about half of this quantity. About 350 billion m3 (c. one third) is traded cross-border. The transport is realised nearly exclusively by pipeline, only 25 billion m; are exported as LNG by Algeria and Libya. Russia is in an exceptional position in relation to reserves and resources. Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Algeria, Norway and Netherlands have important reserves and resources of natural gas. Static lifetime is the quotient of actual reserves and last production given in years. It describes only an actual state of knowledge (picture of recent moment) in a dynamic process. In this process the primary values, i.e. reserves and production are always changing. Progress in exploration and production is adding new reserves, faster production decreases reserves as well as production depending on demand and production capacities. By economic reasons reserves are held on a constant level, which will secure a fluent production ( about 20-30years for oil and 30-40 years for gas). From historic point of view static lifetime for oil and gas was more or less constant without significant fluctuations especially during the last years. That is explained by the fact, that hydrocarbon exploration is very cost-intensive and oil companies are only exploring to this extent to maintain and secure production. This trend continues so far as the resource base is adequate and the oil price gives a financial incentive level for further exploration. In the past, forecast of static lifetime for oil and gas was usually wrong and as a rule too short. Therefore, conclusions on static lifetime must be appraised very critically, especially those done without knowledge of causalities of hydrocarbon exploration and production. This applies especially in the case of ending reserves as production doesn't stop abruptly and is going down slowly. On the other side a shortage of oil by continuing demand will lead to rising prices, which will trigger development of marginal and sub-marginal fields as well as exploration in immature regions and for deeper horizons. This applies to conventional oil and gas but for longer term surely in part for non-conventional oil and gas also. Figure 11 gives an overview of static lifetime for non-renewable energy resources in 1998. The static lifetimes amount for conventional oil 42 years, for conventional plus non-conventional oil commonly about 81 years and for natural gas about 65 years. The static lifetime for hard coal amounts more than 160 years, for lignite more than 200 years and for uranium only 37 years. When we include resources, the static lifetime for the remaining potential (reserves plus resources) will be c. 63 years for conventional oil and c. 160 years for conventional natural gas. Corresponding values for all other energy resources are higher than 200 years, the highest values have coal and non-conventional natural gas, especially for resources of gas hydrates. Those are average values for the world and don't inform about regional or local country situation. So values for static lifetime of oil reserves in most OPEC-countries are obviously higher than 50 years, for OECD-countries it ranges between 10 and 20 years. Figure 12 shows different forecasts for oil production. Therein forecasts for production of conventional oil as well combination of conventional and non-conventional oil is shown. Most curves show that in the period from 2010 to 2020 the maximum of oil production will be reached. Only the Odell curve (2) differs from the common picture and forecast a maximum at 2070 based on production of conventional and non-conventional oil with EUR of 800 billion tons. The historic development of the world population and energy demand on fossil fuels since 1800 as well as a possible scenario to 2010 is given in figure 13. It can be concluded, that oil production will peak in the fist half of 21st century, gas production in the middle of the century, perhaps also later. The absolute coal production can increase although the share on primary energy consumption is falling. The gap between rising energy demand and decreasing oil and timely later decreasing gas production can be filled only partially by non-conventional oil and gas reserves. Although the potential of non-conventional oil and gas regarding existing estimates is higher than the potential of conventional oil and gas. High production costs, technical and environmental problems are the main reason for slower production of non-conventional hydrocarbons. On this background and with respect to climate debate an economic use of oil and gas is essential. Search for alternative energy sources is a priority task. an economic use of oil and gas is essentially. in view of these facts substitution of oil and gas through other energy sources is needed.

For my Legend on how Chaturanga was invented, we have to go back in time, back to the east where we find a wise Brahmin by the name of Sissa. At this time however, it wasn't referred to as Chaturanga, but instead Jaturanga, a Sanskrit word that refers to how the game is played. It refers to the four arms which formed the division of the Indian army during Verdic times; first you have the elephants, followed by the cavalry, then the chariots and finally the infantry. The board it was played on also had a name, it was referred to as Vastu Purusha Mandala which was composed of 8x8 squares, thought to be mythical and was used by the Antic architects to plan the cities design because this board was thought to represent the universe. This was later renamed Ashtapada by Indian players. During these times, there seemed to be somewhat of a gambling issue in India, due to the prevalence of dice based games. A large number of his people were becoming addicted to these games of pure luck, and playing for high stakes. The Rajah Balhat summoned Sissa to create a game that required mental skill instead of being purely chance, this game was also required to be able to enhance mental qualities in its players such as prudence, foresight, judgement, valor, endurance, circumspection and reasoning ability. From these instructions, Sissa the Wise created Chaturanga. One of the myths of chess tells of Sissa being asked by the Rajah what reward he would like for making such a game and Sissa replied that he wanted one grain of wheat for the first square of the board and each square in succession the number of wheat would have to be doubled, the king was annoyed because he thought this a modest request; but at the 64th square he would have owed him 18,445,744,073,709,551,515 grains of wheat, to put that into perspective, that's more than the world was able to produce for hundreds of years.

Star Wars: Rebellion (video game) This article is in list format, but may read better as prose. You can help by converting this article, if appropriate. Editing help is available. (January 2010) Find sources: "Star Wars: Rebellion" video game – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (June 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Coolhand Interactive Scott Witte NA: February 28, 1998 (1998-02-28)[1] Real-time strategy, 4X Single-player, multiplayer Star Wars Rebellion (known as Supremacy in the United Kingdom and Ireland) is a real-time strategy game released in 1998 by LucasArts and set in the fictional Star Wars expanded universe. 1.1 Characters 1.2 Unit management 1.3 Encyclopedia 1.5 Tactical interface Although a RTS in the wider sense of the term, it belongs more to the genre of 4X games resembling Master of Orion. There are elements of turn-based games as well, as the events of each 'day' of game time are processed at the end of that day. The player commands the manufacturing of facilities, troops and starships, resources, fleet deployment, and mission assignments of units and characters (60 in all: 6 major, 54 minor, 30 per side) around the (up to) 200 available systems. The player assumes the role of a military administrator and takes control over either the Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance. The game interface consists of a map of the Star Wars galaxy and an advisor droid (C-3PO for the Rebellion and IMP-22 for the Imperials). The map consists of sectors of 10 systems each (the number of sectors is customisable to be either 10, 15 or 20), all known from the Star Wars universe. Some of them belong to 'unknown' regions and need to be explored while known systems can be either under control of one of the two main factions or neutral at the start of the game. The player has to undertake colonization, diplomacy, creation of buildings and units, supervising of mines, refineries, and stockpiled resources, building and commanding fleets in a tactical mode, conversion of systems to one's own side through various means, recruitment of characters, and dispatching characters or units to systems or fleets, and finally the assigning of missions to characters and special forces. Major characters are always available at the beginning of the game, while most minor ones must be recruited. Only major characters can embark on recruitment missions. The major characters for the Alliance are Mon Mothma, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa. The Empire's major characters are Darth Vader and the Emperor. Minor characters will sometimes randomly be generated Force-sensitive and can be trained by certain Jedi characters (Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader) to augment their abilities (Luke must be a Jedi Knight). Characters can also enhance their abilities by conducting missions. Characters with higher Force ratings are better at diplomacy, espionage and combat, and can therefore conduct missions with a higher chance of success. Some characters can be given military ranks by the player to put them in specific roles. An Admiral increases a fleet's performance in both tactical battles and orbital bombardments. A General increases the performance of troops and reduce the likelihood of successful enemy missions on a friendly planet. A Commander increases the combat efficiency of starfighter squadrons. Unit management There are several kinds of buildable units. Each kind can be constructed by one of three construction facilities. Installations are buildings on a planet's surface or in orbit. They can be construction facilities or defense installations. Mines produce raw material from planets, while refineries refine them into processed materials that can be used for construction. Both increase maintenance and thus allow for larger military forces. Construction Yards build other installations. Troop Training Facilities create troop regiments and special forces. Shipyards construct starships and fighter squadrons Planetary cannons attack assaulting or bombarding starships and troop transports or defend units escaping a blockade Shield generators defend everything on the planet from orbital bombardment Troops are used to conquer and defend planets, and to claim uninhabited systems. Starships can blockade systems, unleash orbital bombardments and be the platforms for planetary assaults. They can carry troops and starfighters up to their respective limits and an unlimited number of characters and special forces. Ships are grouped together in fleets. When opposing fleets meet at a system, the battle between them is fought at the beginning of that 'day'. Starfighters can be stationed on planets or capital starships and are built in squadrons of 12 apiece. They can fight in fleet battles, and have bombardment power and detection ratings. Special forces include spies, saboteurs, and long-range reconnaissance teams. As research progresses, new units and facilities become available for construction. Research can be sped up significantly by ordering characters with the corresponding ability to conduct design missions. Characters can have the ability to research facilities, starships or troop designs. Every element of the game has its own encyclopedia-like 'card' with a short description and abilities sheet. This amounts to a total of several hundred encyclopedia cards. The standard objective set of each game is to take the HQ of the enemy (Coruscant or the mobile Rebel base) and capture the two leaders of the opposing side: The Alliance must capture Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine while the Empire must capture Luke Skywalker and Mon Mothma. Before starting a new game, the player may select the alternative objective set which only requires the destruction or capture of the opponent's HQ. Tactical interface Most of the game is played in the Galaxy view, where the player can manage different systems. When two enemy fleets meet, the player can switch to the tactical interface, which allows control over the fleet in a real-time space battle. The game starts right after the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the Death Star. The Galactic Empire is ready to strike back against the Rebel base of Yavin IV, while the Rebel Alliance is readying to move to another system. Apart from the given time of the beginning, the game stops being story driven, and the scenario expands freely. Although events of the later movies might occur (like the capture of Han Solo by bounty hunters and the construction of a second Death Star), or are even scripted to happen, (like the Jedi training of Luke Skywalker), the player can change or avert some events of the canonical timeline, including such things as not migrating to Hoth after Yavin, having Luke become a Jedi Master before he even meets Vader or the Emperor, creating more than one Death Star or even lead the Empire into victory. For gameplay purposes, many elements of the game are randomized at the beginning. For this reason, troop, fleet, and resource locations, as well as the allegiance of most planets, do not reflect canon information. Aggregate score Aggregator GameRankings 50% (8 reviews)[2] CVG 6.8/10[3] GameSpot 4.5/10[1] Next Generation [4] Computer Games Magazine [5] Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "LucasArts should start looking more closely at what it slaps the Star Wars brand on, as consumers will eventually be less likely to forget or forgive."[4] According to PC Data, Star Wars: Rebellion was the United States' 18th-best-selling computer game during the January–November 1998 period.[6] MacWorld saw LucasArts' 2006 game Star Wars: Empire at War as a successor to Rebellion.[7] ^ a b McDonald, T.

Q: Uploading and querying images I am currently attempting to upload images from my HTML form to a MySQL BLOB column. Here is the current relevant code for my HTML code (input file type is just a placeholder, I will of course change it out to whatever it must be. These values are in table data form, but I condensed it down to be easier to read) <form method="post" action="inspectionprocessing.php"> <input type="text" name ="unit" value=""> <input type="text" name ="notes" value=""> <input type="file" name ="media"> <input type="submit" value="Submit Inspections" name="submit"> </form> Here is the code to insert into MySQL. //Establishing variables $unitNumber = $_POST["unit"]; $unitNotes = $_POST ["notes"]; $unitMedia = $_POST ["media"]; // Create connection $con = mysqli_connect($host, $username, $password); // Check connection if (!$con) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } echo ""; //Query database $sql = "INSERT into inspect.building_1 (Unit, Notes, Media) values ('$unitNumber','$unitNotes', '$unitMedia')"; $inspection = mysqli_query($con, $sql); Here is the code to display information from the database $sql = "SELECT * FROM inspect.building_1 "; $apartments = mysqli_query($con, $sql); while($apartment = mysqli_fetch_assoc($apartments)){ echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" . $apartment ["Unit"] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $apartment ["Notes"] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $apartment ["Media"] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $apartment ["Date"] . "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $apartment ["InspectionID"] . "</td>"; In sum, I m looking for HTML code to upload multiple images to a table under one InspectionID in the database. I need the database to store the images and display them on a separate page. I am totally open to a file path, but I will need all of the necessary code - I am very much a beginner here doing it all for the first time. Thank you so much for your help! Images if you want to know what it looks like. Note: Database connections and everything works, I only need help with images A: You have to add enctype="multipart/form-data" to your form so your form can accept retrieving files and second you cannot retrieve data with the $_POST super global you have to use the $_FILES super global Here is the code <form class="forms-sample" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div class="form-group"> <label for="media">Media Image</label> <input type="file" name="media"> </div> </form> $unitMedia = $_FILES['media']['name']; $unitMedia_temp = $_FILES['media']['tmp_name']; move_uploaded_file($unitMedia_temp, "img/$unitMedia"); and if you want to insert your image to database you can use $unitMedia to insert it That is all what i have to say And I wish that helped you A: Right off the bat I can see your form tag is missing enctype="multipart/form-data" which you'll need when you're uploading files. <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="inspectionprocessing.php"> You can get the blob data right from the uploaded data. It's not going to be a $_POST variable, it's going to be a $_FILES variable. Something like this in inspectionprocessing.php: $unitMedia = file_get_contents($_FILES['media']["tmp_name"]); Also, it's highly recommended to validate that the uploaded image is actually an image, is not too big, etc. There's some validation stuff you can check out here: https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp Also also, its best to get in the practice of using prepared statements for your MySQL inserts and updates to prevent SQL injection. Start this habit now! https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_prepared_statements.asp

Ivanka Trump posted a picture of herself holding her youngest child on Sunday and the liberals immediately went into attack mode. Sane people would look at this picture and find it beautiful. The hate-filled liberals on the other hand were angry with Ivanka Trump because federal authorities lost track of migrant children. In 2014, nearly 70,000 unaccompanied migrant children from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala flooded the US-Mexico border. This surge of minor migrants created a crisis for US detention centers and overwhelmed state municipalities. Because of the vast number of illegal minors surging the border, many of them weren't even processed and the Office of Refugee Resettlement lost track of many of them. But only Trump is at fault when federal authorities lose track of illegal alien children. Liberals were also outraged this weekend over photos of children in cages–only it happened under Obama. Again, where was the outrage when Obama was president? An actual mother would have compassion for the children harmed by your father's policies. Your contrived photo ops are absurd. Ivanka I do appreciate the fact that you have decided to own what you are. No more pretending to be a decent person. I'm a Mom of two children and I want you to understand that we won't forget the atrocities you've enabled your father to commit. Justice will eventually prevail. Cute kid. You do know your father's policies rip children from their parents?

What Do Libraries Call Users, and What Do Library Users Think of Themselves in relation to Libraries? In American Libraries Magazine, Anthony Molaro wrote a piece titled "Just Who Do We Serve?" There, Molaro mentioned an interesting fact that caught my eyes. Did you know that library users actually preferred to be called "member" rather than "patron", "customer," or "user?" According to a recent survey, that is the case. Throughout my entire library career since early 2000s, the term that refers to library users which I heard most from the library staff was "patron." I don't recall any library staff calling a library user "customer" or even "user" back then. As a very new part-time library assistant, I took it that this term "patron" meant pretty much "customer" in the sense that it is the customer (=patron in the library) that is the king. Library membership = CVS or Costco Membership? I am not against the idea that as the library staff, we do and should strive to create and support the maximum satisfaction of library users. I am just pointing out that there seems to be some interesting difference between how libraries and library staff view library users in their operation and how library users consider themselves in relation to the libraries they frequent. Side note: I have realized that I often use the term "user" to refer to library patrons. But that's just because I work mostly in the context of web services. I use this term 'user' out of habit, not as any result of reflection. Interestingly, I found that some who work in the areas of web design and development (not library-related) actually prefer a term different than "user." Jenifer Hanen, a web developer/designer, said once on Twitter that she preferred "people" or "customers / clients" opposed to "user." I am guessing here, but it is probably because all the other terms than "user" seems to imply that they are not just some abstract entity that comes into a website and click links but the actual people with certain interests and preferences etc. The survey result that Molaro cites seems to point out the very same kind of interesting difference that I have noticed between how libraries and library staff view library users in their operation and how library users consider themselves in relation to their libraries. It shows that library users (in lieu of no better term here) think of themselves as library members rather than library patrons, library customers, or library users. Molaro continues to detail his view on what each term is likely to signify. According to him, "library patron" as a term represents the worldview in which libraries are indebted to them, patrons. By the way, this matches with what this term brings to my mind. "Library user," on the other hand, makes Molaro think of those who consume without creating. And he opposes to the use of this term because, in his opinion, this term implies that the users need something the library offers but the library do not need them. I disagree on this. I actually like the term 'library user' because it always reminds me of the fact that there are many other places where they can go for their information needs. It reminds me that libraries are not the only source for them and it is unrealistic to, say, argue that all library users should start their research at their library homepage rather than Google. But again, this could be just me working mostly in library web services. Molaro likes the term "library member" since he thinks that this term implies ownership and an active role. And he says "people served by libraries view themselves because they carry a library card." Now, I am in 100% favor of library users or patrons or members having the feeling of ownership and active role in relation to their libraries. But I do not think that library users prefer to be called library members because of the feeling of ownership and their active role in libraries. I carry and use the CVS and the Costco card. This doesn't make me feel ownership towards these companies, or in any way I imagine myself playing an active role in them. Am I a member? Probably, since I have a card, a membership card. If the membership costs money, then, definitely the term, 'membership' is more fitting because it implies that some kind of services and privileges are rendered to me once I join (whether free or not). I get points at CVS and enter/buy stuff in bulk at a lower price at Costco with my membership. Now as a library member, I don't pay the membership fee, but I get to borrow books and other library items. So there, in my mind, I am a member in relation to my local library just as I am a member of CVS or Costco. I am not saying that this is the mental perception that libraries want their users/patrons/members to have in relation to them. I am simply saying that this might be the actual mental image that most of our library patrons/users/members have about their relation to their libraries. Much like other organizations, institutions, and businesses, libraries should consider implementing a preferred member card program. This preferred member card could be purchased through an annual fee and would have perks and privileges. For example, hot new bestsellers are purchased for regular library members and extra copies purchased for preferred members. Perhaps preferred members would not be subject to late fines, or entitled to extended loan periods, being cited on an honor roll, or invited to a special party? The preferred member card could be a part of a larger membership and fundraising drive. Much like NPR or PBS, libraries can incorporate preferred membership drives into their National Library Week or National Library Card Month promotions. Well, what do you think? I am divided on this idea for many reasons. And I am not going to go into those reasons here, because at this point, many of us, librarians, will have minds bouncing left and right and up and down just thinking about those reasons and what the best direction would be. So it might be the best to let them percolate a bit before shooting ideas to the sky. How do you make the library members care about their libraries? Anyone can become a library member (no investment required) and there is nothing they gain by being an active member (no incentive provided). Just as a reminder, we all know that libraries do 2. intentionally as its mission is not to generate profit but to provide equal access to information for both the under-served/underprivileged and the well-to-do. Now 2. has the problem: no investment and no incentive. Human beings tend to care much less about the things they get for no investment; they are also highly likely to be involved very little with things that they have no incentive to do so. So 2. creates an obstacle to achieving 1. How can libraries achieve 1. without endangering 2.? That's a million dollar question for libraries. Many assume that adding more information would automatically increase the usability of a website. While there are cases in which this would be true, often a better option is to make that needed information not necessary at all for a user to make the right choice in the first place. In order to advertise this service and make it easier for users to discover, the search result screen in the library catalog now shows the U-Borrow option as a link (as shown below). If the user clicks the U-Borrow link, the computer presents the search search result done in the union catalog. This allows the user to see what state university library may have the item s/he is looking for that is not available in her or his own university library, and to request the item from the closest library from his or her own. But there is one problem. Since the original search in the user's own library catalog was not restricted to a particular format, the U-borrow link also presents items in all formats that match including online resources(see below). But(!) the U-borrow service does 'not' apply to online resources. This is a solution. But not the best solution. If a user gets to this page, s/he is likely to just click the link on top and get frustrated instead of examining the record fully by scrolling down and recognize the note at the bottom. So in this case, the best solution would be to make the U-Borrow link in the first screenshot result in only the items available through the U-Borrow service. This will obviate the need for the user to heed later the note about certain items are not available. By removing irrelevant options in the first place, we can allow users to make the right choice without making a conscious choice. Can you think of similar examples like this? Guiding people to make the right choice by providing information is good. But all the better if the right choice can be automatically selected based upon the previous option. The presentation that I gave with my colleague, Marissa Ball, at Handheld Librarian Online Conference II (February 17, 2010.) is now out as a book chapter in the new book published by Routledge, Mobile Devices and the Library: Handheld Tech, Handheld Reference (ed. Joe Murphy). This is the first time my article has been published as a book chapter. So I am pretty excited. On the other hand, I am realizing how much time can pass between a presentation and a publication. You can see the original presentation slides here: http://www.slideshare.net/bohyunkim/mobile-access-to-licensed-databases-in-medicine-and-other-subject-areas. Before becoming the book chapter, this presentation was also published as an article in The Reference Librarian 52(1), 2011. I took a few shots from the book processed today at the library. If you ever had the feeling that your library space might look somewhat dull and unexciting, there might be some relatively simpler ways to change that. The university I work at has two separate campuses and I work at one of them. But this week, because of some committee work, I spent time at the other (BBC) campus. This was actually the first time that I had time to look around the library there. And I immediately noticed these colorful chairs on the first floor. The library building at the BBC campus has a pretty traditional look. The building is clean and neatly kept, but the colors of the wall and the carpet are neutral and conservative. While this might induce the sentiments suitable for serious study and concentration, the uniformly neutral colors may also create an impression that the library is dull and boring. I was quite impressed by how these several colorful chairs do a great deal in counteracting such an impression. Considering that re-painting or re-carpeting is quite expensive, adding some color chairs like this can be a simple and effective way to create a more positive impression about library space to users. While I was hanging out at the first floor, I was looking for a power outlet to plug in my laptop. The BBC campus library has power outlets on the floor in addition to some on the walls. This is a great feature because often users would be studying in the middle of the library space where they would be too far away from the walls. However, the power outlets are not very visible in its white color. Considering that a lot of library users look for power outlets, it would be great if they are made visually more prominent. To come to think of it, hard-to notice power outlets are a problem in other places. At any coffee shop, the tables near the wall where power outlets appear are often the first ones to be taken. The same goes for the chairs near power outlets at an airport. I would be delighted if I can easily locate a free power outlet at a coffee shop or an airport. This means that easy-to-notice power outlets are one sure way for coffee shops and airports to win me over as their client. Granted power outlets are not the major function of a coffee shop or an airport. But if it is an amenity that is highly sought-after by users, then why not make it easy for them to find and use it? I wonder what other secondary functions or non-major amenities of a library are frequently used by library patrons and how we can make them stand out more. Perhaps, libraries can match those features with services or resources that they want to promote for a better marketing effect. Librarians and libraries' value lie in playing the role of the middlemen between the public and scarce content (books/information ). Books and information are no longer scarce and rather abundant in the digital era. The public can now directly access books and information without mediation by librarians and libraries. Therefore, libraries and librarians may become no longer needed. In order to avoid extinction, libraries and librarians must change from being the middlemen and the warehouse of content. Libraries are more than warehouses of books, since they provide valuable services, programs, and physical space. It costs to obtain information, which makes it, by definition, not abundant. Information is not so easily accessible considering how much instruction librarians have to provide the public regarding how to use them. While these objections may well have some points, would they make sense to library users? Are library users convinced that these objections prove the sufficient value of libraries and librarians? If you work at an academic library, you would have met at least one academic who asks why a library is still needed. They say everything is online. I bet you have immediately cited the objections above. Did those objections convince the person? If you work at a library, you would have met a library user who thinks librarians are mere clerks who purchase and shelve books. Did bringing up the points cited above persuade the person to think differently? Or did you just get a shrug out of the person? To the eyes of most library users, the most important benefit lies in books and articles, not in reference, instruction, or any other library services or programs. So they regard libraries as warehouses and librarians as middlemen. If the survival of future libraries depends on the users' perception and judgment on the value of libraries, the concern Godin expresses is not necessarily hyperbole. And this public perception of libraries and librarians as warehouses and middlemen signifies the failure of proving the unique value of a library in the digital era. What will take to persuade users to become the advocates of the future libraries? I don't think raising the objections cited above will do the trick because they have been failing for a long time. Despite our best efforts, reference volume is going down and the place of library instruction in a curriculum is mostly marginal. If the cost for information goes down sufficiently and users can get faster and easier access, they may be willing to pay content-providers directly than libraries (indirectly through tuition/tax). Looking back at the past and picking up the things that already have been tried with little success will not take us very far. And we don't want to bet the future of libraries entirely on the current states of academic libraries being an accreditation criterion or those databases having unfriendly user interfaces. I think it is time to stop arguing about how valuable libraries already are and start building some new visions about the future library. One idea that frequently comes up is the library as a community center connecting people with information. It's not a bad idea, but it needs more details. How are libraries going to connect people with information in the way the mediation of libraries and librarians is 'welcomed and appreciated'? Do our current libraries have a seed of the future libraries that beyond doubt presents indispensable value to library users? While possibilities abound, we do not have many convincing and attractive visions of future libraries that make sense to our users. Here are some random ideas to start with. Not necessarily daring, inspiring, and by no means exhaustive or revolutionary but just to ignite more conversation. It is not easy to imagine things that do not exist yet. But right now, we need more imagination than criticism or skepticism. I hope and believe that if we have a worthwhile vision, we will be able to work to obtain sufficient resources to make it happen. b. Libraries as Production Agencies? The role of libraries has been traditionally focused on services that bring a third party's product to users. But what if libraries place more weight on creating products of their own? Users will go to libraries to look for content that is curricular, educational, local, or for entertainment. Such content will not be simply curated and listed together but be produced as a complete stand-alone product. This will take libraries into the realm of content business. c. Libraries as Institutional or Regional Knowledge Management and Preservation Agencies? Even though libraries are already assuming this role to a certain degree, envisioning the future libraries as mainly a knowledge management and preservation agency will bring a significant shift in the library operation. Libraries will actively collect, curate, and provide access to the knowledge asset generated by an institution or a region that it serves. It will also function as a support center and a hub for those who create and produce such knowledge asset. d. Libraries as a Competitive Intelligence Center? Librarians could be trained to specialize in collecting, comparing, and analyzing data, which will only increase in volume in the digital era. Offering competitive intelligence service and products can significantly increase the value of libraries to the decision makers whether administrators in academia or small business entrepreneurs. The service and product offered in this case may be similar to those of corporate libraries through fee-based services. Add you own ideas here. (i) Do not restrict your vision by current library structure, services, programs, staff, funding, or other existing conditions. (ii) Imagine the value of a library that will appeal more to 'users' than to librarians.

The first time our family had head lice, we had it bad. Inexperienced, in denial and in over my head with youngins, I unwittingly let them populate to the point of no return — or at least the two months it took us to conquer them sure felt like a life sentence. When my then 9-year-old first complained of an itchy head, naturally I checked her scalp for crawling bugs. A few days later, when the itching worsened, we doused her head in dandruff shampoo. After another week or so of complaints and head checks, I had decided my kid was simply oversensitive and needed to toughen up. Then one day at a backyard BBQ, she was so frantically scratching that I felt the need to clarify her bug-free status to the other mothers. "I don't know why she's so itchy, but she doesn't have lice, I've checked a dozen times." To emphasize the point, I proceeded to part her hair and check yet again. To my silent horror, I noticed dozens of what could only be shiny little eggs within inches of her scalp. Needless to say, we quickly had "other things to do," made our brief exit, and I did what any horrified mother would do…I called my girlfriends. Now, I have two kinds of girlfriends: those whom I call with descriptive announcements of contagious illness and infestation, and those whom I avoid completely until I am certain the issue has been thoroughly resolved. Fortunately, several of my friends in the first category had dealt with this before. Unfortunately, everyone's advice was different. Ultimately, it took us two months of toxic shampoos, mayonnaise, rubbing alcohol, gel-like pastes that harden into helmets, olive, coconut and essential oils, shower caps, threats of head shaving and dozens upon dozens of hours with a nit comb to conquer the little beasties. Now that we live in the tropics, that first lice adventure seems like a walk in the park. Here, the lice are apparently a super fuerte mutant sub-species (I swear, they must have wings) and the fact that it's always above 80 degrees (and usually above 100) creates the ideal breeding ground for the little piojos. So, lucky for you, I am now an expert. In fact, you can just call me The Lice Maven if you like, 'cause hot damn, I've earned me the title. To help ensure that your own lice adventure is a much shorter story than ours. Before I explain what has worked best for us, I must disclose that the expensive, toxic pesticide shampoos DID NOT. Apparently, lice have grown resistant to these poisons, which is cool by me 'cause I don't know about you, but I'm not really into lathering my babies in pesticides. There are lice, and there are nits (lice eggs). Lice will be various sizes and colors of gold, gray and brown. Nits are shiny teardrop shaped, generally grey, hold on to the hair shaft when pulled and are usually found within a few inches of the scalp. Not all nit combs are created equally. Nit Free has the best one I've found. Nits are most easily seen in the sunlight (thus their discovery at my friend's BBQ). If you find evidence of lice, assume the whole family has it, clear a couple hours from your schedule every day for five days or so, and prepare to treat the whole pack. You will kick it much more quickly if you are serious from the start, trust me on this one. Day 1: Outfitted in old clothes and preferably outside, work olive or coconut oil through brushed hair, making sure to rub oil into the scalp. Sprinkle heads with tea tree oil, braid long hair, then cover with a plastic bag and secure with a rubber band for the day or overnight. This process suffocates the mature lice. After 6-10 hours, remove shower cap and equipped with paper towels, comb through hair with nit comb, wiping oil, nits and lice on towel. Take your time on this step, as nits pull free easier when oily. Make sure to comb scalp. Boil brushes and combs, change bed sheets and pillowcases. Put all hats in a plastic sack and store until the end of the week. Lice cannot live long without a host. Day 2: Outside in good light, sit family members down one at a time. Break out the lollipops, professional clown or movie projector (meaning this could take a while). Using hair-ties to hold sections of clean, dry hair out of the way, search hair for nits in small sections, combing with clean nit comb first, then pulling stubborn nits free with your fingernails. Take your time with this process. Even one nit left is a potential adult louse. Day 3: Wash pillowcases, boil brushes and combs. Give the kids a break. Day 4: Repeat Day 2, checking for previously undiscovered nits. It should be much easier and quicker this time. Celebrate and treat the kids for their cooperation and yourself for being so awesome. It is imperative that you recheck for nits once a week for a month. If found, pick them out with fingernails and repeat Days 1 and 2. And there you have it — you can now go forth lice, nit and chemical-free. If they're anything like mine, your kids will now swear they smell head lice every time they get a whiff of tea tree oil. We're there with you Beth! Sophia came home with lice from Oaxaca after spring break and we're currently fighting them. We've now dealt with Brazilian, U.S. and Mexican lice. Mexican lice seem to be the tiniest and hardest to see. We do the mayonnaise thing. Tried chemicals once with no luck. I think no matter what you do, as you say, the nit combing consistently over time is the most important. BTW Brazilian lice are huge! Glad for the confirmation that they are, indeed, different in different regions! I'm imagining your long-haired brood all have thick hair, too? THAT sure doesn't help, does it!? Here is my question, if you treated the whole family, how did you get your own head? Did you just comb and comb hoping that you got it all? This is the million dollar question…who nit picks the nit picker!? I am now so on top of it (I check the kids every few days, boil brushes regularly etc…) that I never really get them (knock on wood), BUT I had them when we lived in Austin and quickly learned that though talented and able-bodied in so many ways, nit picking is not something my husband is capable of. That's where your patient, meticulous and empathetic mom friend comes in! I do oil and comb through my own hair on occasion with the nit comb just to make sure I'm free. If I found many, though, I'd be calling a girlfriend. Seriously Beth, you make even lice sound amazing…. That's how I know I'm desperate to be back in Mexico with you and the girls! You are going to LOVE it here. And no worries, I'll make sure the girls are 100% piojo free before you get here!!! You are sorely missed yourself, lovely. Hope you're loving life. Second in regards to the lice mavens quote, lice ARE in fact disgusting and gross and I dread the day Abel gets them because I will throw up. Third, I love the girls expressions. Makes me miss them and cherish them so much. And you too b/c this post brought a smile to my face. So funny. Thanks for doing all the leg work so I will know what to do. Yeah…I kinda love that I'll have posts to bust out as leverage when they're being intolerable. You made me laugh pretty hard, too as I'm pretty sure you actually WOULD throw up if you found them, knowing your love of such things (wait…lice and worms…same category for you?) You can send that little man to my house and aunt Beth will pick his piojos any day. I'm suddenly very, very itchy!! You´re gorgeous!! And your girls ought to love and hug and adore you for not cutting their hair! That definitely would have been my plan after one week of oiling and combing… they once called me lice maven – undeservingly, for I never saw one live lice my whole life, just did research and interviewing for the school; to inform parents and promote the idea of lice loving super clean people AT LEAST as much as, let´s say tramps. Your lice maven is pretty damn right. Great advise! The first time we experienced lice, I researched it a lot and finally found that Licefreee worked really well, it's just a heavily concentrated saline solution (salt!). Your link to the Nit Free comb is broken, but after having checked a few combs myself I agree that some are so worthless. The comb that came with this kit had metal teeth and worked really well. I also recommend that one keeps scotch tape and a magnifying glass handy so you can see and confirm you're doing the job and that over time there's no more lice. Once I knew what they looked like I was a lot more confident with combing. My 12 year old just had lice last month and all I do now is change her pillow case nightly, sheets and blanket every other day or so, clean clothes/pj's/bathrobe daily, no hats or headsets, one spot for her to sit in the house and car for two weeks and clean that nightly, and comb every night while she plays video games. I'll check everyone else in the house every few days for at least two weeks. There's no way around the time commitment in combing and laundry. Anything that seems easier is not going to work. Apple cider vinegar – not mentioned here also kills lice. A true Fighter indeed! This is the awesome demonstration of love, discipline and care for children so, as a parent, I take my hat off to you. Hi Beth, I'm a new reader of your blog. All your tips for natural lice control are great! We made it a nightly ritual, zapping our son's hair before he went to sleep and zapping each other's hair while we sat in front of the TV. I also rubbed my hair, and my hubby's and son's heads, with coconut oil mixed with the Uncle Harry's mix every day to try to keep lice from re-infesting any of us. And of course we did the daily washing of towels, pillow cases, etc. In my frantic online searching to make sense of this never before chartered parenting territory we have found ourselves in I came across the "what you will need" picture from your post and clicked on it immediately recognizing the Chedraui shopping bag! We live in Belize (moved from the states down). Thank you! Hello there, Loved your article, it is spot on. I just wanted to add that back in 98 my red head for some reason couldn't get rid of them. We tried everything from tea tree oil to harsh chemicals. What it came down to I used Aloe vera gel in her hair overnight, covered her head with a plastic grocery bag. Then manually pick the nits out the next morning. within five days (this had been a 6 week debaucle) all the nits were gone. We used your treatment along with some other treatments my aunt's sister recommended and it worked great!

Commercial firms and research institutions developing implanted neurostimulation systems have had years of experience dealing with challenges emanating from within the body, such as tissue encapsulation, lead migration, electrode breakage, and battery failure. But now the industry must be ready to confront two additional threats from the external world: cybersecurity intrusions and environmental influences. Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security called out Medtronic for a cybersecurity weakness in its N'Vision clinician programmer, a component of the company's neuromodulation systems. The vulnerability would allow a hacker with access to the unit's compact flash card to access personal information, including healthcare information, about the patient. The DHS rated the vulnerability as medium severity. While this vulnerability is certainly not life-threatening, it should put neuromodulation vendors on notice that the government—and hackers—will be looking over their shoulders for means of compromising patients' security by unauthorized access to digital data. As we pointed out in this pace three years ago [NBR Nov15 p2], cybersecurity issues will take on increasing importance in the neurotech industry. And vendors of implanted brain sensing and stimulation devices face particularly onerous threats from potential "brainjackers" [NBR Jun17 p2]. But cybersecurity issues aren't the only threat looming from the outside. A recent article in the Journal of Neurosurgery reported that a patient with an implanted DBS system experienced a device failure as a result of a lightning storm that also affected electrical appliances in the patient's home. Clinicians now recommend the use of surge protectors for rechargeable neuromodulation systems and that patients unplug their rechargers when not in use. External challenges like these certainly add to the list of engineering factors that must be considered when designing and upgrading neurotech devices. But given the amount of talent and dedication neural engineers have demonstrated to date, we're confident that the industry will be up to the task.

It's certainly possible, but I had to accept that I was going to be less precise in my inputs whether I was holding a PlayStation controller or a keyboard and mouse. It seemed like a perfect time to try out a game that only requires a mouse to play -- a perfect time to finally try out Disco Elysium! Disco Elysium is a unique and experimental RPG that straddles the line between RPG, point-and-click adventure, and walking sim. Most RPGs have combat of varying degrees of complexity in order to give all the various character stats and progression systems something to do. Disco Elysium completely eschews those conventions. I think I fired a gun maybe three times in my entire play time with the game (across a campaign and a half that I played prior to reviewing), and one of those gunshots was against a corpse hanging from a tree. Oh and I roundhouse kicked a a racist beefcake (you know, in order to establish my own racial superiority). Not exactly Call of Duty over here. It may not require the twitch reflexes that many "gamer bros" expect every game to have, but games like this have been a godsend for those of us who only have one free hand to hold a mouse, because the other arm is holding a sleeping infant. It also happens to be a really good game. I maybe fired a gun thrice, and roundhouse kicked a racist once, in 40+ hours of gameplay. Inner dialogue Instead of channeling character stats into gauntlets of filler combat encounters as a way of accumulating experience to improve those stats for the next combat encounters, Disco Elysium channels all of its character attributes into conversation trees. But these conversations aren't just with the other characters who I interview as part of the murder mystery plot. These conversations are also with the character's own inner monologue. You see, the skills in Disco Elysium aren't like the skills of most other RPGs. They don't determine the character's physical strength, or agility, or skill with various weapons, or a blanket "charisma" attribute that determines if people believe your lies or are swayed by your arguments. No, instead, all of the skills of Disco Elysium represent elements of the protagonist's personality and psyche. Those skills will even pop up during dialogue and allow the character to have arguments or conversations with his own inner monologue. Each skill is like a voice in the protagonist's head, telling him what to do, or how to interpret the events he encounters. Each skill is sort of a character in its own right. The character's skills talk to him, giving the player insight into the game world and current circumstances, and also (sometimes flawed) advice about how to proceed. I'm reminded of the psychosis voices of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, with each voice shouting over the others trying to tell Senua what to do or telling her that she's worthless and can't do anything right. Except in Disco Elysium, the player can actually have conversations with those voices. You can talk back to them. These skills will pop up from time to time as interjections during conversations to make observations about what is happening or to recommend specific courses or action or responses. It's also a great way of delivering exposition and ensuring that the player knows any relevant details that the character should know. But they aren't always completely reliable. Sometimes blindly following the advice of these skills can land you in trouble. The "Shivers" skill really helps bring Revachol to life. One of the more interesting skills is "Shivers", which represents the protagonist's "street knowledge" of the city, and which allows him to visualize what life in the city is like. This ability rarely provides directly useful information, but it does provide a tremendous amount of insight into the city as a character and the inhabitants who live within it. It helps to augment and reinforce a lot of the world-building that the rest of the game is doing. Other skills might represent the character's willingness to engage in debate, his ability to lie or recognize lies, the knowledge he has accumulated about police culture, random trivia about the game world as a whole, his predisposition towards drug addiction and alcoholism, and so forth. Exactly none of the skills determine how much damage he does with an attack or how much junk he can carry in his inventory. To account for the lack of direct combat, Disco Elysium does not employ a typical health bar, since you aren't being shot at or stabbed with swords around every corner. He has a handful of hit points that can be depleted whenever he suffers pain or does something physically exhausting. Something as simple as stubbing his toe, or punching a wall in frustration, or sitting for too long in an uncomfortable chair can cost him a hit point. And of course, if he does happen to get shot with a gun, that will also take away hit points. For an example of the creative ways that this game divvies out and takes away hit points, at the very beginning of the game, the character wakes up with a hangover. He is so hungover that turning on the ceiling light in his hotel room can trigger a fatal heart attack, and give a "Game Over". You can also gain health back by sleeping, eating, having a smoke, or massaging a sore muscle. Losing morale can lead to a psychotic break and cause a Game Over. But losing health points due to physical damage isn't the only way to trigger a fail state. Since almost all of the game's encounters are conversations with other characters or the protagonist's own inner psyche, he also has morale points which act as a second hit point store. It's kind of along the same lines as a "sanity meter" in most Lovecraft-influenced games. Failing at tasks, including being "beaten" in conversation by a wittier opponent, can cause losses of morale. He will also lose morale whenever he's confronted with the stupid shit he's done during the multi-night alcohol bender that caused him to black out and lose his memory prior to the start of the game. If his morale goes to zero, he breaks psychologically, quits the police force, and the player gets a "Game Over". Morale can be recovered in various ways, including completing certain objectives, progressing the murder investigation, or making amends for any injury, annoyance, or damage he may have done to others or property during his bender before the game. Morale can also be restored by playing into the character's strengths. For example, if I put a lot of points into the "rhetoric" skill, it means that the character likes to engage in debate or argument with other characters. Picking an argument, and then "winning" said argument can potentially restore morale. It's yet another great system that encourages the player to role play as the character that I've built! Socio-economic role play The unconventional skill system and writing isn't just a novelty either. It is in service of a compelling, introspective, and thoughtful story. At a surface level, Disco Elysium is a murder-mystery. A man has been lynched and hanged behind a hostel, and it is the protagonist's job, as a police officer, to figure out who done it and arrest that person. But this isn't really the story. Our job is ostensibly to solve a murder mystery, but the real story is much more thoughtful. The story of Disco Elysium is more about our protagonist piecing his own past back together, confronting the traumas that lead him to alcoholism and drug abuse, and figuring out who he wants to be moving forward -- with the helpful input the player, of course. It isn't just the details of the protagonist's personal life that make up the game's story. It's also largely about placing the protagonist somewhere along a 20th century political axis. Disco Elysium takes place in the years and decades following a series of wars between communist revolutionaries and the fascist governments that ruled them. Revolutionary sentiment still runs high, and the protagonist finds himself in the middle of a labor strike, caught between the socialist labor union, "right to work" scabs, the racist nationalists still lingering in the city, and his own duties as a police officer. Once again, if you're one of those "get your politics out of my video games" type of gamer bros who spends all your time obliviously engaging in digital American imperialism by shooting brown foreigners because a beefcake marine told you to, then you might want to stay far away from this one, because it's going to ask you to think, instead of just mindlessly pointing crosshairs at heads and pulling a trigger. Characters in Disco Elysium will frequently go on political rants, and the responses that the player can give usually align with pro-labor communism, racist-nationalist fascism, self-servicing ultra-liberalism, or a "moralist" centrism. It is kind of frustrating that these responses almost always lie on the extremes of those various political axes. I can't be a progressive democratic socialist. I have to be a hard-line "burn down the bourgeois", authoritarian communist. On the other end of the spectrum, I can't express the sentiment that people should have fundamental human rights without veering completely into laissez faire corporate libertarianism. Political conversations often veer to the extremes. Disco Elysium is stuck in this early 20th century paradigm of political polarization. It kind of makes sense, considering the game was developed in Estonia, which was on the frontlines of the real-world conflicts between these ideologies that took up most of the 20th century. There's no real political spectrum here, and when I tried straddling the line so as not to go too far into one extreme or the other, I would end up being classified as a "moralist", a complete centrist who never seems to have any opinion one way or another. But then at the end of the game, Kim still characterizes me as a "huge communist", but then also recognized and acknowledged that I paradoxically have some ultra-liberal leanings as well. So the game is a bit smarter than I thought. I guess it would be far too much work, and far too complicated to model more gradients of the political spectrum, so I can't expect that. And I guess forcing the player to one extreme or another is a way of challenging the player to think hard about these political alignments and what they really represent. And I guess it also leads to more interesting outcomes. When everybody is basically either a Nazi, Marxist, or Randian Objectivist, the conversations and conflicts certainly are interesting. Yet somehow, most conversations manage to remain civil. But it's still disappointing that I couldn't truly play to my own personal moral compass. The closest I could come was to alternate between the "communist" response and the "moralist" response. I do, however, appreciate that the responses that the player can give are not explicitly labeled as being either the "communist", "fascist", "ultra-liberal", or "moralist" response. While it's often pretty obvious which is which, you will at least have to read each response and think about it for a moment. This isn't like Mass Effect where "Paragon" and "Renegade" choices are explicitly labeled and highlighted in bright blue or red so that the game feels like it's making the choices for the player, and you don't have to think (or even read) the responses at all. No, Disco Elysium really forces the player to have to engage with and understand its politics. Disco Elysium can be very nihilistic. The murder-mystery that makes up the actual plot is, after all, fundamentally intertwined with those failed communist revolutions of the game's past -- and in multiple, surprising ways, no less. There is no escaping the politics of Disco Elysium, and that is refreshing in a climate full of entitled, basement-dwelling, man-baby snowflakes throwing tantrums over any perceived "wokeness" in any piece of media, and publishers pandering to those snowflakes by insisting that their games about racism, revolutions, holy wars, terrorism, imperialism, cyberpunk dystopias, and so on are all somehow "not political". As if that's even possible. A refreshingly-sympathetic take on communism Disco Elysium's take on communism is probably the most interesting political statement that it makes. At first glance, it seems openly hostile to the idea. Text within the game insists that nobody wants to self-identify as a communist because of all the baggage that the failed revolution brings with it. Communism was defeated in this world. The Bolshevik revolution failed before it even got off the ground. This mirrors the response that most Americans have towards communism, which is that it is an utterly failed (and evil) ideology that does not warrant a second look, even though its ideals have never truly been attempted (even by the Soviets and Maoists). So it's interesting that Disco Elysium seems to be the most sympathetic towards communisism. The fascists and nationalists are unabashedly racist, sexist, homophobic, and all-around despicable. The ultra-liberals are corrupt and greedy corporatists with no concern for the workers or lower classes. The ideologies themselves invariably lead to those outcomes, according to Disco Elysium. The communist characters are also villainously corrupt. They pay lip service to the "common good" in order to enrich themselves and accumulate power. But this is often contrasted with a communist player character's more genuine concern for the working class and for socio-economic equality. The corruption of the labor movement rarely comes off as a failing of the ideology itself. In fact, the game often makes a point of insisting that these characters are "doing communism wrong". And it's true, those characters are doing communism wrong. Just like Stalin and Mao did it wrong. Having a leader is inherently un-communist, since the whole philosophy is built around the idea of a classless society in which everybody contributes according to their aptitude, and everybody is entitled to an equal share of all that the economy produces. The game makes a point of emphasizing that this philosophy has never been realized. It's still a pipe dream. Disco Elysium is sympathetic to the ideals of communism, but not to the corrupt leaders who use the "common good" as a means to enrich themselves. Heck, even humanism is soiled by an almost religious reverence for a patron saint named Delores Dei! So even the humanist options often had me second guessing whether I wanted to chose them because I felt like doing so would put me in a cult. Or at least, that was my takeaway. There's a lot of dialogue and interaction in this game, and it's entirely possible that my own socialist proclivities fed back into the game and lead me to dialogue that glamorized the ideals of communism. Maybe if I were an entitled, basement-dwelling man-baby snowflake complaining about everything being "woke", I might have stumbled into dialogue trees that paint a more favorable picture of fascist nationalism. Or maybe the game would be more openly critical of that political alignment. I guess I'll just have to finish my "fascist playthrough" and get back to you on that one... Disco Elysium employs a strange day / night cycle in which time passes while engaged in conversation -- but only if that conversation is new dialogue. Repeatedly asking the same questions does not pass time. This can be annoying if I'm stuck and just want to end the day because I have to scour the map for someone to talk to in order to pass the remaining minutes or hours. But at the same time, this system proves remarkably useful and really helps to force the player deeper into Disco Elysium's world. First and foremost, it ensures that the player experiences a minimum amount of content and story in each of the game's days, since you cannot progress to the next day until you've explored enough of the city to have enough unique conversations to pass the time. Simply lounging around your hotel room, or wandering back and forth won't run out the clock on the day and cause you to miss large chunks of story. If you find yourself with a lot of time left over in the day, that is a sure sign that you've missed something. There is somebody, somewhere, who has new information for you. But there also usually aren't enough NPCs to talk to in order to pass all the hours in the first couple days, so the player has to dip your toes at least a little bit into Disco Elysium's personal or political introspection. Reading books (which you must buy with money) is one way to pass excess hours. You can also engage in internal dialogue with any of the various "thoughts" that pop up in the character's mind. Books and thoughts will trigger conversations with the character's subconscious that will inform his political, moral, ethical, and metaphysical opinions, as well as providing passive bonuses (or in some cases, debuffs). Proper time management is sometimes critical to the success of a quest. This leads to a remarkably well-paced and well-curated experience, especially compared to the multitude of repetitive, tedious, open world sandbox games that companies like Ubisoft keep insisting that we want to waste 90 hours on. There are side quests, some of which are optional. Some of them can be surprisingly involved and complex. But none of them ever feel like filler, and they certainly don't feel copy-pasted! Not only do all these side quests further engage the player with the game's politics or the protagonist's fractured psyche, a surprising amount of them actually end up informing the main murder mystery with new witnesses and evidence. So even someone trying to bee-line through the "main quest" might have a hard time discerning which objectives are "main" and which ones aren't. The end result is a game that feels masterfully crafted. The creators had a vision for Disco Elysium, and they fulfilled that vision almost without flaw. It's pretty damn impressive for a debut game. You can bet that if Za/um ever releases a follow-up game, I won't wait 2 years to play it. "Side quests" can be a way of passing time, but they'll usually feel more "main" than you might think. 80bc8a20-3326-45b8-b069-a9aa846f0548|0|.0 Tags:Disco Elysium, Steam, PC, indie gaming, za/um studio, RPG, Estonia, point-and-click, walking simulator, skills, internal monologue, alcoholism, drug addiction, politics, union, strike, communism, fascism, nationalism, racism, sexism, liberalism, murder, mystery, police, crime I think I mostly made sense of Her StoryHaving a little bit of free time between playing Madden 20 and starting out this year's indie football games, I checked out a couple indie games that I've had sitting around in my Steam library for months.... 12 Minutes would be an excellent time-loop mystery if not for its gross twist endingIt may have taken almost 20 years after Majora's Mask, but it looks like time loop games have suddenly become an emerging fad.

Sportsbook > NHL > Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Metropolitan Rivalry Betting Preview Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Metropolitan Rivalry Betting Preview Posted by: Charlie Smith Posted on: Mon, February 11th, 2019 1:16 PM Monday's Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers matchup offers some intriguing NHL hockey betting action. The Penguins are undeniably stuck in a massive rut after conceding 4 straight losses and posting a 2-6 record in their last 8. The Flyers on the other hand, have built up some momentum thanks to their recent 9-1 momentum. So with this in mind, will Philadelphia be able to pose a problem for Pittsburgh this Monday night? Let's check up on tonight's NHL sports betting odds to find out. Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers – Monday, February 11th Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania TV: NBC Stream: NBC Extra, NHL TV NHL Hockey Betting Odds: Penguins -1½ (+210) 6½ (-115) -125 Flyers +1½ (-250) 6½ (-105) +105 Penguins vs. Flyers is here. Win prizes that you'll hold dear. Also, there is beer. Future watch party locations: https://t.co/LEbJA9hZdt pic.twitter.com/1Qb20xcl3B — Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) February 11, 2019 The Penguins enter this Monday night contest sporting a 28-20-7 record on the season. That lackluster record nets Pittsburgh 63 points on the season, which ranks them as the 4th best team in the Metropolitan Division. No doubt Pittsburgh's recent woes account for their fall from grace within the top 3 of the Met. The team that usurped them just happened to be the Columbus Blue Jackets and their 65 point tally on the season. Things are getting pretty tight in the final two spots of the Met's top 3 since there are 4 teams all within 5 points of one another. With that in mind, Pittsburgh needs to do all they can to get the win on the road this evening. Fortunately for Pittsburgh, they just happen to be 7-3 in their last 10 versus Philadelphia. If that trend continues this evening, the Guins should be able to snap out of their current rut. Or at the very least, get a head start in doing so. Players to Watch: Sidney Crosby (23 G, 39 A, 62 PTS), Phil Kessel (21 G, 36 A, 57 PTS), and Evgeni Malkin (14 G, 41 A, 55 PTS). The Flyers enter this evening's matchup sporting a 25-23-7 record on the season. With more losses than wins this season, it's no surprise to see Philly rank 6th in the Metropolitan. With a 57 point tally on the season, it's looking like Philly will in fact miss out on this year's postseason. Nevertheless, they can still vie to spoil their rivals' evening tonight. Looking over the numbers however, it's clear that Philadelphia will not have an easy time doing so. This is because they currently rank 25th in the NHL in defense and will have to face an offense that ranks as the 6th best in the league. Philly may have the home ice advantage here but it's unlikely that will be enough. Granted, the Guins are in a bit of a rut so maybe this is just what Philly needs to pull off the upset. Players to Watch: Claude Giroux (16 G, 42 A, 58 PTS), Sean Couturier (23 G, 25 A, 48 PTS), and Jakub Voracek (13 F, 34 A, 47 PTS). Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Betting Predictions Pittsburgh is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Philadelphia Pittsburgh is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Philadelphia The TOTAL has gone OVER in 6 of Pittsburgh's last 9 games on the road Philadelphia is 3-8 SU in its last 11 games when playing Pittsburgh Philadelphia is 3-8 SU in its last 11 games when playing Pittsburgh Philadelphia is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games The TOTAL has gone UNDER in 5 of Philadelphia's last 7 games Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers Betting Picks So which side should mobile betting fans take in this Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Philadelphia Flyers contest? The Guins recent troubles makes taking them a bit of a risk here. Then again, Philly has struggled against Pittsburgh all season long so maybe that is your best this evening. Sign up today to make your online betting prediction! Score Prediction: 6-4 Pittsburgh.

ThemesKatJuly 10, 2021 January 16, 2023 POP is exploring the following research themes across 200 years of clothing inventions in global patent archives: Who gets to take up public space (and who is made smaller, concealed and compressed)? This theme explores the politics of taking up space in public. Citizens in public space are not equally given capacity and possibility to expand. Some, such as women, children, queer and disabled people, have historically been hidden, reduced, compressed and ignored in different ways.This theme explores how some inventors refuse to be made smaller or diminished by society. It highlights different ways people have resisted hegemonic norms to become space makers, takers and claimers via unusual and inventive forms of clothing. How, and in what ways, can people keep things private in public? This theme explores the politics of privacy in public. Citizens have always been watched (and watched others), and they are under even more surveillance, as a result of pervasive digital technologies. This theme explores how inventors over time have questioned the idea of transparency as being central to being a "good citizen" by proposing a myriad to help people protect their privacy in public. What impact does the ability to contain or release fluids outside the home have on people's rights? This theme explores the politics of dwelling in public. This theme explores how different bodies are problematized as leaky – with blood, urine, sweat, milk etc. It highlights how intersections of social and cultural norms together with infrastructural privileges can exclude and discriminate against people and limit how they inhabit, dwell and move through public life and space. We explore how some inventors have resisted being stuck at home by developing different ways people can dwell in public (while leaking) for longer, with more control and dignity. Who gets to be active in public? This theme explores the politics of active bodies in public. Sport is often seen as a symbol of citizenship and national identity via glorified discourses of heroism, strength, daring and triumph. However, not everyone fits these normative discourses, genders or body shapes or are given equal attention. This theme explores how inventors have worked-around barriers to provide alternate forms of active wear, which operate as experimental sites for new practices, expanded expressions and citizenship claims. What can work clothes tell us about the value of different kinds of work & workers? This theme explores the politics of unequal/unrecognised labour. Being a citizen provides the right to work and comes with rights, entitlements, protection and status. However, not all work is recognised equally and not all workers are equally able to carve out spaces in the workplace. This theme explores how inventors re-configure work clothes and with them different ways to participate in and re-imagine normative and exclusive institutions and systems. Who's is in/visible in public space? What impact does this have on the ability to participate in public life? This theme explores the politics of modal hierarchies. Motorised traffic dominates public space and with it, ideas about civic rights and entitlements. This theme explores how clothing inventors have responded to the challenges faced by multi-modal citizens in their desire to be seen and heard in public space. They offer wearers alternate ways to render different bodies visible, amplify voices and embody expanded re/imaginings of multi-modal possibilities.

Recently switched from an Alienware 17 r4 and this works far better. My old laptop was barely running 50-60 fps on 1080P games like Rocket League or PUBG/Fortnite, and now this new pc an run 80-90 FPS on (get this) 4K! definitely a great build, but it can take a day or two to make. Decent SSD, that's all I can say. If you want to get a bigger SSD, then go ahead. This hard drive was easy to install and is great for me because 2TB is all I'll ever need. The price is great and is definitely a steal. Impressive Graphics card from MSI. I was looking for the most affordable graphics card. This card has been the one that I was most confident would work. Since I have tried products like laptops from them, I felt good enough to order this, because I thought it would work well, and it does! Oh boy, this case is probably one of the best cases out there. The clips that take apart the front and sides are a bit cheesy, but the LEDs on the outside of the case make up for it. You can change the LEDs on the outside with the Corsair ICue app that is on their website. If you're going to buy a case, go ahead, but make sure you look at this case before buying one. It's a little over the top when you have a PC that only needs about 400W of power, but it overall good to plug in and turn off every night. This 4K monitor works great and is very easy to install. Overall it's a good keyboard. I guess the fact that there are holes in the keyboard to get rid of the liquids in case you accidentally spill something is great. Especially since I like to eat and drink at my PC while I'm working. The only downside is that its a little hard to set up the LED pattern in the Razer app, but I guess that's a software problem. That is still really good performance. You should really look for a new build. If it's that old, then try to sell the parts, or the pc as a whole and save up for a new one. Hey, I love your build I think it is amazing. Would you mind putting up a few more pictures of what it looks like from the outside? I would really love to see what that case looks like ( I'm thinking about getting the same one). Also, one more question since you are water cooling it are you planning to overclock your CPU or even overclock your GPU at all? Anyway great build I'm still on a gt 730 :) You got a plus one from me! How hot is your pc? With a 1080, an i7 and that motherboard, it doesn't really look like it's heat sink can handle high specs like that. Hi there, love your build, but I just was wondering how good the case was cable management wise, as I'm thinking about getting the same one. Thanks!

Home News Google Enters Chinese eSports Market with $120 Million Investment in Chushou Google Enters Chinese eSports Market with $120 Million Investment in Chushou Beebom Staff - Beebom Staff Last Updated: January 5, 2018 8:46 pm Google has been exploring different ways to enter the Chinese market, since its most popular and widely-used product, Google Search, has been blocked in the country. In order to do so, the California-based firm has been investing in Chinese startups which will help it gain a strong foothold in the country. Back in 2015, Google acquired a minority stake in Beijing-based artificial intelligence (AI) startup Mobvoi as part of a $75 million fundraising round. Now, the company has led a $120 million investment in Chinese live-stream mobile game platform Chushou. Google's investment in Asia now include task sourcing (India's Dunzo) and hardware (Taiwan's HTC), other than the aforementioned companies in China. Chushou, which was founded in 2015, is an online esports platform on which users can broadcast their mobile phone games live for others to watch. According to reports, the service has around 8 million streamers and 250,000 live streams a day. With the recent investment, Google will aid the Chinese firm expand its services within the country and also help it target viewers globally. Neither company has revealed the size of Google's stake in the Chinese company or its valuation after its recent Series D funding. In a statement regarding Google's investment, Frank Lin, Google's principal of corporate development in north Asia, said "Chushou has built an impressive platform, with a dedicated and quickly growing base of content creators and consumers, and smart expansion plans. We're excited to be supporting Chushou through this investmnet to help them execute those plans, bringing great mobile gaming content to more people around the world." With the investment, Google plans to connect with China's large population of young, tech-savvy internet users, which has previously been a challenge for the company.

Considering the winter solstice and changing seasons | Lowry Reckoning darkness with light, warmth with chill, and true changes of season are among the qualities a lot of us still love about living in the Northeast. Considering the winter solstice and changing seasons | Lowry Reckoning darkness with light, warmth with chill, and true changes of season are among the qualities a lot of us still love about living in the Northeast. Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://www.northjersey.com/story/opinion/columnists/2019/12/21/considering-winter-solstice-and-changing-seasons-lowry/2711732001/ Bruce Lowry, NorthJersey.com Published 4:45 a.m. ET Dec. 21, 2019 | Updated 9:06 a.m. ET Dec. 21, 2019 The other day a poet friend of mine sent along a favorite poem from W.S. Merwin, whom we lost back in March. I found the lines especially fitting for the season. The title is "Dusk in Winter," and it begins: I write these words the day before the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, that time when, as a USA Today article by Doyle Rice reminds, is "the precise moment at which the Northern Hemisphere is tilted farthest from the sun." Of course, reckoning darkness with light, warmth with chill, and true changes of season are among the qualities a lot of us still love about living in the Northeast. Indeed, a good brisk walk on a winter's day, in the manner, say, of Tolstoy and his regular "constitutional," even in Russian winter, can be a vehicle for warming one's soul, and liberating the mind, regardless of mood, or depression about our graying days or decaying politics. Rollo Maughfling, Archdruid of Stonehenge and Britain conducts as ceremony as druids, pagans and revelers gather in the centre of Stonehenge, hoping to see the sun rise, as they take part in a winter solstice ceremony. (Photo: Matt Cardy, Getty Images) The USA Today report lets us know that the solstice "is typically not the coldest day of the year," and that there is generally a bit of lag time between the solstice and the truly colder days, typically toward middle to late January. Nonetheless, the notion of winter solstice, in particular, has always appealed to me, both as a recognition of darkness, and as sliver of hope for the light to come. I could of course expand the dark/ light metaphor into some sort of statement about the political and socio-economic circumstances of our time, but I think at least for now, I'd like to stick with just the natural, astronomical aspects of the solstice, and our very existence on this planet. According to an article reported last December at mentalfloss.com, "Solstice derives from the Latin scientific term solstitium, containing sol, which means "sun," and the past participle stem of sistere, meaning "to make stand." Being a long believer in the Jungian concept of "synchronicity," it is difficult for me not to read kind of deeply into the fact that on my way to work Friday morning I was treated, to a first-time listen, via WNYE (WFUV simulcast), to "Texas Sun," a new song, by Khruangbin and the incredible Fort Worth-born R&B star Leon Bridges. The tune includes the lyrics: Say you wanna hit the highway While the engine roars Well come on roll with me 'til the sun goes down I don't know how else to describe the sound and chords other than to say the song is achingly beautiful, and poignant, not so unlike the season upon us. Of course, one can't really properly consider the solstice, which occurs at the same instance everywhere on Earth – and which comes this year at 11:19 PM, EST on Saturday – without speaking of the ancient Stonehenge ruins in England, "where druids, pagans and other revelers gather each year to celebrate the event." Lowry: A moment of reflection in the cold, New Jersey rain Holiday Guide: Make your holiday way easier with these tips from experts News: Serial killer Khalil Wheeler-Weaver guilty of murdering three women in 2016 The solstice also occurs at the exact time that the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, or 23.5° south latitude. Merwin speaks with less exactness, but perhaps more clarity, as he concludes "Dusk in Winter," offering a further reflection on the sun and its going away : Yes, it may seem a long way to more luminous days and warmer temperatures, but meantime we might all do well to embrace these dark hours, relish them and take some solace in the endurance, at long last, of the change of seasons.
