Q: The requested resource does not support http method 'GET' when doing cross-domain ajax call I'm performing a cross-domain POST using jQuery ajax to call an ASP.net 4.5 WebAPI site:
$.support.cors = true;
$.ajax("http://mydomain/WebApi/api/authentication/", { type: "post", data: json, contentType: "application/json" });
Here is my server method:
public class AuthenticationController : ApiController
{
// Login or logout the user.
// POST api/authentication with login or logout data object
public HttpResponseMessage Post(object data)
{
return ProcessAction(data);
}
}
I've set the headers on remote server:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST,GET, OPTIONS
When I execute the code, I get a 405 Method Not Allowed - The requested resource does not support http method 'GET'.
The method I am calling works fine if called from the same domain.
Additionally, if I remove the contentType: "application/json" option, I get a 500 Server Error.
It appears the contentType option has something to do with the problem, but I am not sure.
Any suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

The sixth-generation Mitsubishi Mirage has been a cash cow for Mitsubishi Motors Philippines since the company officially launched it in our market four years ago. In October 2012 alone, MMPC delivered 1,098 units to eager buyers.
1. The new Mirage sports a new front-grille design with a chrome touch and a new front bumper.
2. GLS variants now come with bi-xenon HID projector headlamps with daytime running lights. The LED taillights were also tweaked.
3. The wheels had a makeover, too. The GLS variants now wear a set of 15-inch two-tone alloys, while the GLX has 14-inch ones.
4. Mitsubishi has stepped up the Mirage's lighting game by putting welcome and coming-home lights. Some lamps stay on to provide light when the driver and the passengers walk to and from the vehicle. | {

Nintendo 3DS Gameplay Video Round-Up
by Jared Rosenberg - January 24, 2011, 2:20 pm EST
Total comments: 12
Update 2: Gameplay footage for Steel Diver, Pilotwings Resort, Lego Star Wars III, and more have been added.
This is the destination for all gameplay footage filmed at the NYC 3DS Preview Event. The first video below is a boss fight from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
Watch some submarine action in Steel Diver.
We've got to go back to Wuhu Island. We've got to go baaack!
The Lego Star Wars saga continues.
Cats become even cuter when wearing glasses.
Check out the new 3DS menu system in action.
Gameloft brings its racing franchise to 3DS.
Rampant dinosaur fighting may have helped lead to their extinction.
Reggie experiences technical difficulties before announcing the 3DS price.
The 3DS will have menus in Brazilian Portuguese.
Watch a few laps of Namco's upcoming Ridge Racer 3D.
Watch a quick battle with Ryu and a demonstration of the game's Street Pass mode.
This portable Resident Evil features maps from previous console iterations of the series.
Check out Neal fighting his way through the Kid Icarus demo.
Cutscene and gameplay footage from Dead or Alive Dimensions
Neal plays over 3 minutes of Super Mario Land. The turtles are the bomb (literally).
Because it's impossible to have too much Ocarina of Time footage we have some more inside of the Deku Tree.
Adding color to Citizen Kane is a terrible idea, but adding color to Link's Awakening is awesome.
Behold the AR (Augmented Reality) Games demonstration.
EnnerJanuary 20, 2011
Was Navi always that chatty? I don't remember ever being annoyed by it. Hmm, I should pop in my GCN port of Ocarina of Time some time.
The miracle of flight section of Kid Icarus Uprising moved by so fast! It makes the following on-foot section look a bit bad. It didn't help that it takes so long to move the camera in the on-foot section.
It was amusing to see the touch screen command mashing in Dead or Alive Dimensions. You even got a perfect! I wonder how powerful and important countering will be if the touch screen command is available in all match ups.
Ah, the Super Mario Land footage brings me back. I forgot one hit turns you back to regular Mario even if you are Fire Mario.
Nice job with the video. The trick of recording the headphone sound really helps to combat the negative aspects of capturing footage off the screen. That should be a standard for all off camera footage.

Quote from: Enner
This. I like the voice acting but it seems like TMI during the fight scenes.
OOT looks pretty nice with all the overlays placed on the bottom screen.
pololmejorJanuary 20, 2011
Why is the 3D turned off in every demo?
TJ SpykeJanuary 20, 2011
Because the 3D can only be seen on the 3DS screen. I guess it would be like watching a 3D product without glasses, it would look terrible.
Yeah, but THEY went to the 3DS preview so THEY should be enjoing it
BlackNMild2k1January 20, 2011
Whose to say they didn't. If you wanted to capture video for the purpose of those that aren't there to see what you are doing, it would look best if you turn the 3D off. So that's what they did. It's not like the people that were there filmed every single second of everything they did with the 3DS's while they were there. I'm sure they had plenty of 3D off camera play time to go alongside what they played while on camera.
AdrockJanuary 21, 2011
Pit's voice... gah.... might actually be worse than Navi's.
Quote from: Adrock
But Navi is great!
There are a lot more voice overs in Uprising than I expected and their quality does leave something to be desired. They're corny like a Saturday morning cartoon, but I hope they don't get too grating. I do like the exchanges between Palutena and Pit.
Ryan CannonJanuary 23, 2011
Dang now I want all these games!
Ah, that AR game demo was so cool! It looks like a great showpiece. With those six cards that come with the system, I wonder if we can look forward to some 3DS games to take advantage of them in the future of the system.
BranDonk KongJanuary 24, 2011
The AR demo...holy shit!
NWR_NealNeal Ronaghan, Owner/Reviews EditorJanuary 24, 2011
By the way, we weren't allowed to film it with the 3D on.
Even still, it would look awful on camera.

DAY 2 - CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
Understanding today's sea level: trends, amplitude, and new approaches
Day 2 Conference Highlights
The second day of the conference was dedicated to presentations on contemporary sea level change, ranging from the role of ocean heat content to satellite missions to drivers in variability of extreme sea levels. The two plenary sessions were accompanied by a morning and afternoon poster session and a town hall on the operational monitoring of sea level using satellites.
Below are highlights from the day's presentations.
Trends in local sea level are responsible for most of the trends in extreme sea level event amplitudes over 1960-2015. (Marta Marcos, University of the Balearic Islands)
Extreme events amplitude show temporal variability at interannual and multidecadal timescales driven mostly by regional sea level related to large-scale climate modes such as the North Atlantic Oscillation.
Phases of ENSO have very distinct differences in the magnitude of wave fields generated by extra-tropical events, and these differences influence water levels at the coast. Storm tracks change and can modify the wave directionality, creating teleconnections in the basins through swell. (Justin Stopa, Laboratoire d'Océanographie Physique et Spatiale)
A multi-model approach has been found to be more appropriate than dynamic or statistical modeling for prediction sea level variability. Research has also found sea level predictions from multiple models are skillful out to at least six months in the tropical Pacific. (Matthew Widlansky,University of Hawaii Sea Level Center)
Integrated ocean measures like sea level and heat content--made possible by modern observing systems (e.g., altimetry, Argo)--are ideal metrics for tracking Earth's energy imbalance. However, improvements to the observing system are needed, such as extending Argo's reach into high latitudes, the deep ocean, and marginal seas. (Karina von Schuckmann, Mercator Ocean)
Good agreement has been achieved between recent observation- and model-based estimates of global and regional sea level rise over the 20th century. (Benoit Meyssignac, LEGOS)
The ocean's dynamic response to forcing by winds and natural variability is a key driver of interannual-to-multidecadal variability in sea level over the western North Pacific and coastal Japan. (Yoshi Sasaki, Hokkaido University)
The use of high-resolution coupled climate models is essential for accurately simulating coherent sea level variations along the US East Coast. (Diane Palko, University of Miami)
Western boundary sea level is influenced by the open ocean, but this influence is critically mediated by topography and friction. Boundary trapped waves are capable of transmitting information rapidly and efficiently around ocean basins. (Chris W. Hughes, University of Liverpool/National Oceanography Centre)
A town hall, Operational monitoring of global and regional sea level by satellite altimetry, featured speakers from US and international agencies that manage and operate satellites, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautic and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA/JPL), European Space Agency (ESA), European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the Centre Nationale d'Études Spatiales (CNES). Participants heard updates on current and next generation missions, data products and processing, partnerships, and calibration/validation challenges.

Employers access to your record: What are your rights?
Having a criminal conviction can present many challenges for individuals (e.g., employment, volunteering, schooling), as there exists a substantial amount of stigma associated to having a record. For the 4.2 million Canadians that have a criminal record, one of the most challenging feats can be in relation to finding employment.
It has increasingly become common practice for employers to ask applicants whether or not they have one or more criminal convictions that have not been pardoned (or suspended) by the government. Consequently, many applicants have been swayed or required to disclose their criminal history to their potential employers when seeking out a job prospect.
This placed further barriers and stress on individuals with a criminal past, when seeking employment, promotions, or new job opportunities.
In these situations, it is essential for individuals to be aware of the legislations in place which protects their human and privacy rights.
It is legal in Canada, under the Canadian Criminal Code, for employers to ask applicants whether they have committed a crime that they have not been pardoned for. Employers may also legally obtain a background check from applicants and inquire whether or not the individual has a criminal record.
However, since 1985, once an individuals receives a pardon or record suspension, they are no longer required to disclose their criminal history to their future or current employers.
Employers must also, always, acquire written consent from applicants and employees prior to attaining a background check. No employer may complete a background check without consent.
It is important to note, that employers must establish that there is a valid reason to obtain a criminal background check that is in relation to the position in question.
Many provinces and Canadian jurisdictions do not allow employers to refuse an applicant with a criminal conviction, unless they can prove that the conviction would negatively impact how the individual could perform their job.
It is also illegal for companies to single out one particular candidate and requiring them to solely obtain a background check.
When employers do obtain a criminal background check from applicants there is specific information that is made available and can be accessed.
First, there are two types of criminal record checks. The first is a vulnerable sector screening and the second is a criminal background check.
The vulnerable sector screening identifies whether or not an individual has a criminal record, and whether an individual has received a record suspension or pardon for any sexual related offences. This type of screening process is generally used for individuals applying to volunteer or employment positions where they are responsible for children, seniors, or other vulnerable persons.
In comparison, the criminal record check process only verifies whether an individual has a criminal record or not. With this check, employers will only be able to see whether or not the individuals' record is "clear" or "not clear". The police background check does not give detailed information on the offences or any history if the record is "not clear".
However, the "not clear" outcome does not always indicate that the applicant has a record. Absolute, withdrawn, or stayed charges that have not been removed from an individual's criminal record may indicate that a record is "not clear".
In certain cases, individuals who have the same last name and date of birth may receive a "not clear" result on their background check if one of the individuals has a record. This is a result of the fact that background checks only use a name and date of birth, and not the full fingerprints, which is the unique identifying marker for every individual.
Consequently, this "not clear" outcome may force applicants to disclose their history, both criminal and not, and any contact with the police in hopes to potentially obtain employment. | {

You've just made a new connection over coffee, or walked out of a networking event with a pocketful of business cards. What next?
1. Quickly make notes about each conversation so you don't forget the details. Create a contact for each person you met and use the notes section to record when and where you met, what you talked about, what connection points you uncovered and how you might be able to help each other.
2. Send a follow-up note.
- Remind them where you met, reference the content of your conversation, and follow up on any promises you made.
- If you said you'd be sure to send them the name of the great book that changed your life, send it! Take action on any promises made in the course of the discussion.
- If there's someone you can introduce them to that will help them grow their network, make an introduction.
- Don't be afraid to ask to tap into their network. If you have a specific need that they can help you with, mention it.
- Suggest another meeting if you would like to continue to develop the relationship in an active way.
3. Connect on LinkedIn. Be sure to include a personal note reminding them of who you are and why you should stay connected. | {

Q: Probit two-stage least squares (2SLS) I was told that it's possible to run a two-stage IV regression where the first stage is a probit and the second stage is an OLS. Is it possible to use 2SLS if the first stage is a probit but the second stage is a probit/poisson model?
A: I wanted to add an answer here because there seems to be A LOT of confusion about the forbidden regression. In my opinion the OP falls in this regression, only when he wished for the second stage to be a probit/poisson model. I base my answer on comments from Wooldridge himself on Statalist, and Wooldridge (2010) Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data.
I went through some of Wooldridge's own comments on Statalist (and his books) and in contrast to what Andy comments (please don't shoot me), it seems that the forbidden regression, is using fitted values of a first stage into a non-linear second stage. I base this on two threads:
Here Wooldridge explains that another poster falls in the forbidden regression trap: https://www.statalist.org/forums/forum/general-stata-discussion/general/1308457-endogeneity-issue-negative-binomial. I quote him: "You cannot, in most cases, simply insert fitted values for the EEV into a nonlinear function."
In this post Wooldridge even suggest using an ordinal probit in the first stage (and use the fitted probabilities in the second stage), which therefore apparently does not pose any issue: https://www.statalist.org/forums/forum/general-stata-discussion/general/1381281-iv-estimation-for-ordinal-variable?_=1617356656297.
Please also note that in my opinion Wooldridge (2010) mentions that you can still use 2SLS in this case, but not mimic it by using fitted values! See chapter 9.5.2 titled "Estimation".
A:
if you want a more detailed (but also more technical) proof, you can have a look at the notes by Jean-Louis Arcand on p. 47 to 52.
This does not seem to be the case. The Arcand discussion is not about the functional form; instead, it is about the inclusion of different covariate sets in the first-stage versus the second-stage models.
"In words, the correct 2SLS procedure entails including all of the exogenous covariates that appear in the structural equation in the first-stage reduced form. The forbidden regression involves leaving some or all of them out."
Going back to the original question, I would recommend using an OLS for the first stage, and the probit for the second. While this may be technically biased, it is likely (assuming you have a good instrument) to be less biased than the non-IV approach.
A: What was proposed to you is sometimes referred to as a forbidden regression and in general you will not consistently estimate the relationship of interest. Forbidden regressions produce consistent estimates only under very restrictive assumptions which rarely hold in practice (see for instance Wooldridge (2010) "Econometric Analysis of Cross Section an Panel Data", p. 265-268).
The problem is that neither the conditional expectations operator nor the linear projection carry through nonlinear functions. For this reason only an OLS regression in the first stage is guaranteed to produce fitted values that are uncorrelated with the residuals. A proof for this can be found in Greene (2008) "Econometric Analysis" or, if you want a more detailed (but also more technical) proof, you can have a look at the notes by Jean-Louis Arcand on p. 47 to 52.
For the same reason as in the forbidden regression this seemingly obvious two-step procedure of mimicking 2SLS with probit will not produce consistent estimates. This is again because expectations and linear projections do not carry over through nonlinear functions. Wooldridge (2010) in section 15.7.3 on page 594 provides a detailed explanation for this. He also explains the proper procedure of estimating probit models with a binary endogenous variable. The correct approach is to use maximum likelihood but doing this by hand is not exactly trivial. Therefore it is preferable if you have access to some statistical software which has a ready-canned package for this. For example, the Stata command would be ivprobit (see the Stata manual for this command which also explains the maximum likelihood approach).
If you require references for the theory behind probit with instrumental variables see for instance:
*
*Newey, W. (1987) "Efficient estimation of limited dependent variable models with endogenous explanatory variables", Journal of Econometrics, Vol. 36, pp. 231-250
*Rivers, D. and Vuong, Q.H. (1988) "Limited information estimators and exogeneity tests for simultaneous probit models", Journal of Econometrics, Vol. 39, pp. 347-366
Finally, combining different estimation methods in the first and second stages is difficult unless there exists a theoretical foundation which justifies their use. This is not to say that it is not feasible though. For instance, Adams et al. (2009) use a three-step procedure where they have a probit "first stage" and an OLS second stage without falling for the forbidden regression problem. Their general approach is:
*
*use probit to regress the endogenous variable on the instrument(s) and control variables
*use the predicted values from the previous step in an OLS first stage together with the control (but without the instrumental) variables
*do the second stage as usual
A similar procedure was employed by a user on the Statalist who wanted to use a Tobit first-stage and a Poisson second stage (see here). The same fix should be feasible for your estimation problem.

Aluminum powders are widely used as a metal additive in various high-energy propellants because of its high combustion enthalpy. In order to understand the combustion mechanism of high-energy propellants, the ignition and combustion characteristics of aluminum powder are two of the important factors. It has been concerned to increase fuel heat value to improve engine thrust performance by adding metal powder and other energetic materials to hydrocarbon fuels. Aluminum powder can also release a large amount of heat through secondary combustion with hydrocarbon fuel combustion products H2O and CO2. Aluminum powder produces more stable Al2O3 by secondary combustion, which also plays a catalytic recombination role for the decomposition of hydrocarbon fuel combustion products. When aluminum powders are added to hydrocarbon fuels, the ignition and combustion properties of the mixtures are closely related to aluminum particle size, ambient temperature and pressure. At present, nano-aluminum powders have been widely applied. As the particle size of aluminum powder decreases from micron to nanometer, the combustion control process of aluminum powder will exhibit a transition from diffusion limit to reaction kinetic limit. Therefore, the study of ignition delay and burn time of aluminum powders with various particle sizes is of great significance to the establishment of combustion mechanism in engine combustor and the design and optimization of combustor, it also provides important basic data for establishing and validating the aluminum powder ignition and combustion chemical kinetic mechanisms. At the same time, the present study will provide a basis for exploring the new approach to increase engine thrust in a scramjet. The ignition delay and burn time of aluminum powders with various particle sizes under various oxidant environments (O2, H2O, and CO2) and the combustion interaction between aluminum powder and hydrocarbon fuel were studied in this dissertation. The dependence of the ignition delay and burn time of aluminum powders with the environmental temperature, pressure, type and concentration of oxidant, as well as aluminum particle size was systematically obtained in shock tube experiments. The special attention was paid to the dependence of ignition delay and burn time of aluminum powders with various factors in the transition regime from the diffusion limit to kinetic limit in combustion. Furthermore, aluminum powders with various particle sizes were added into two typical fuels H2 and C2H4 to investigate the combustion interaction between aluminumpowder and fuel. Based on the shock tube experiments, the existing chemical kinetic mechanisms of aluminum powder were applied to kinetically simulate the burn time of aluminum powders.The main conclusions are as follow: 1) The relations of the ignition delay time and burn time of aluminum powders with particle size (50 nm, 200 nm, 1 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm, 50 μm) were obtained at the temperatures from 2320 to 2470 K and the pressure of 8atm as follow: τ_ign=236.2D^0.45 (μs) τ_burn=1096.6D^0.23 (μs) D is the aluminum powder size in μm 2) The relations of the ignition delay time and burn time of 200 nm aluminum powders with temperature, pressure and oxidant concentration were obtained at the temperatures from 1400 to 3200 K, the pressures from 2 to 13 atm, and oxidant concentrations from 20% to 80% as follow: τ_ign=10.6[〖X_(O_2 )]〗^(-0.93) P^(-0.95) exp(26710/RT) τ_ign=16.7[〖X_(〖CO〗_2 )]〗^(-0.6) P^(-0.7) exp(32158/RT) τ_ign=94.1[〖X_(H_2 O)]〗^(-0.99) P^(-0.41) exp(56528/RT) τ_burn=12.3[〖X_(O_2 )]〗^(-0.43) P^(-0.54) exp(21550/RT) τ_burn=42.8[〖X_(〖CO〗_2 )]〗^(-0.71) P^(-0.44) exp(36981/RT) τ_burn=73.1[〖X_(H_2 O)]〗^(-0.69) P^(-0.28) exp(39666/RT) where the ignition delay time τign and the burn time τburn are in μs, T is the temperature in Kelvin, XO2、XCO2、XH2O are the mole fraction of O2、CO2、H2O in Ar, and P is the pressure in MPa, R is gas constant in J•mol-1•K-1. 3)The relations of the ignition delay and burn time of 10 μm aluminum powders with temperature, pressure and oxidant concentration were obtained at the temperatures from 2100 to 3000 K, the pressure from 2 to 13 atm, and the oxidant concentrations from 20% to 80% as follow: τ_ign=789.5/(P^0.32 T^0.31 (X_(O_2 )+0.64X_H2O+0.51X_CO2 ) ) τ_burn=1572.3/(P^0.34 T^0.29 (X_(O_2 )+0.67X_H2O+0.47X_CO2 ) ) where the ignition delay time τign and the burn time τburn are in μs, T is the temperature in Kelvin, XO2、XCO2、XH2O are the mole fraction of O2、CO2、H2O in Ar, and P is the pressure in MPa. 4) The ignition and combustion of 200 nm aluminum powders in the O2, CO2 and H2O are kinetically controlled. The ignition and combustion of 10μm aluminum powders in the O2 are kinetically controlled. The ignition and combustion of 10 μm aluminum powders in the CO2 and H2O gradually transit from kinetically controlled to diffusion-controlled. 5) The kinetic simulation results of burn times of 200 nm aluminum powders show a good consistency with the experimental results on the change trend with temperature, pressure and oxidant concentration, but there are some numerical differences between the simulation and the experimental results. 6) 1μm aluminum powders can ignite in H2 with 70% dilution at 1276 K and 1.3atm. 10μm aluminum powders can ignite in C2H4 with 88% dilution at 1277 K and 1.2 atm. As the particle size decreases, the aluminum powders can ignite more easily in hydrogen and ethylene with the higher dilution. The aluminum powders ignition and H2 or C2H4 ignition take place simultaneously under present experimental conditions. The ignition of aluminum powder delayed to H2 or C2H4 was not observed. The addition of aluminum powders can shorten the ignition delay of hydrogen and ethylene.

Los Angeles Sports Men
Sean McVay
March 1, 2018 August 3, 2018 admin 0 Comments Football Coach, Sports Man
Sean McVay (born January 24, 1986) is an American football coach who is the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). Upon his hiring in 2017 at the age of 30, he became the youngest head coach in modern NFL history. McVay was the offensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins from 2014 to 2016.
McVay was born in Dayton, Ohio, the son of Tim and Cindy McVay. Sean's father, Tim, played football as a defensive back at Indiana University. His family lived in Dayton until Sean was six years old. His grandfather, John McVay, is a former San Francisco 49ers general manager, who was involved in constructing the five Super Bowl winning seasons for the team.
McVay graduated from Marist School in Brookhaven, Georgia in 2004. He was a four-year starter at Marist as a quarterback and defensive back for the War Eagles high school football team. He was the first player in school history to amass 1,000 yards rushing and passing in consecutive seasons. He totaled 2,600 yards rushing and 40 rushing touchdowns during his career and also passed for 2,500 yards and 18 touchdowns, leading the War Eagles to a 26–3 record, including a 14–1 record and state championship his senior year, when he was also named the Georgia 4A Offensive Player of the Year. McVay attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he played college football as a wide receiver from 2004–2007, earning Miami's Scholar-Athlete Award in 2007. He recorded 39 receptions for 312 yards for the RedHawks in his college career. He graduated from Miami in 2008. McVay began his coaching career as an assistant wide receivers coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 under head coach Jon Gruden. The following year, he was the wide receivers/quality control coach for the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League (UFL).In 2010, McVay was hired as the assistant tight ends coach for the Washington Redskins under head coach Mike Shanahan. In 2011, he was promoted to tight ends coach, a position he held through the 2013 season. On January 14, 2014, McVay was promoted to offensive coordinator by new Redskins head coach, Jay Gruden. In his first year as offensive coordinator, he turned the team's offense into the 12th-ranked pass offense in the National Football League (NFL)—averaging 268.4 passing yards per game with third-year quarterback, Kirk Cousins—the 17th-ranked rush offense, with 97.9 rushing yards per game, and the 10th ranked total offense in the NFL, a year after the team's offense finished ranked 25th in total offense, averaging 24.3 points per game and 353.8 total yards per game. In 2016, the offense ranked as the third best pass offense in the NFL with 309.3 passing yards per game, improved to the 20th ranked rush offense after being 25th the year prior (averaging 106.0 rushing yards per game), and finished 12th overall in total offense, averaging 24.8 points per game and 385.6 total yards per game. On January 12, 2017, McVay was hired to become the 28th head coach of the Los Angeles Rams at the age of 30 years, 354 days. The Rams had made him the youngest head coach in modern NFL history, surpassing Lane Kiffin, who was 31 years, 259 days when hired by the Oakland Raiders in 2007.
On September 10, 2017, McVay made his regular season head coaching debut against the Indianapolis Colts, and led the Rams to an impressive blowout 46–9 victory in a home game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Despite a 27-20 loss to McVay's former team, the Washington Redskins nonetheless, the Rams pulled off a close 41–39 victory over the San Francisco 49ers and turned a 16–24 deficit into a 35–30 upset victory over the Dallas Cowboys, but the Rams eventually recorded another loss to division rival Seattle Seahawks at home. Regardless, in just five games, the Rams offense scored a total of 142 (later 151) points a league leader and a franchise high.The Rams went on to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road and the Arizona Cardinals in an NFL International Series game for the team's first shutout win since 2014, as well as raising their record to 5–2 for the first time since 2004 (the last time the team made the playoffs) and a first-place lead in the NFC West.
McVay coached the Rams to a blowout against the New York Giants in their highest-scoring game, a 51–17 victory, which raised the Rams' record to 6–2. The Rams would score another win at home against the Houston Texans with a 33–7 score in the second half to raise the record for the Rams to 7–2 for their best record of the season since 2001. In Week 12, the Rams scored yet another win at home against the New Orleans Saints 26-20 to raise their record to 8–3. In Week 13, on the road, the Rams faced divisional rival Arizona Cardinals and won 32–16 for their first winning season since 2003.
The next weeks: Week 14, Week 15, and Week 16, McVay had two victories over the Seattle Seahawks in a 42–7 blowout game and the Tennessee Titans in a close 27–23 win although he still lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 43–35. McVay's first season with the Rams has seen them dramatically improve their record from the 2016 season and the team's first winning season since 2003 and its first playoff berth since 2004.
In the process, the Rams became the first team to have the top scoring offense in the league a year after finishing with the lowest the previous year. On January 19, 2018, McVay, was named Coach of the Year by the Pro Football Writers of America.
McVay resides in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Veronika Khomyn. Chris Shula, the Rams assistant linebackers coach, is also his housemate. McVay's grandfather, John, was also an NFL head coach. He coached the New York Giants from 1976 to 1978.

Bryan Charles "SL" Jones, formerly known as Cuz Lightyear, is an American rapper and songwriter.
Early life
Jones was born in Flint, Michigan and shortly after moved with his family to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he was raised in a neighborhood known as 23rd & Wolfe Street. He described his neighborhood as being in a gang-heavy part of the city, a collection of smaller Crip and Blood affiliated neighborhoods. He regularly raps about and references his hometown and neighborhood, with the number 23, taken from the street's name, serving as a recurring theme in his music. While growing up, Jones spent a brief time back in Flint, where he was pursuing studies in visual arts, before ultimately moving to Atlanta to pursue a career in music. Upon beginning his career in music, the name SL Jones was selected with SL representing the words "Second Letter", as in the letter B (for Bryan), the second letter of the alphabet.
Career
Grind Time Rap Gang
Jones first gained awareness when he began working with Killer Mike, Pill, Nario, Big Slimm, Da Bill Collector, and others as a part of Grind Time Official, also referred to as Grind Time Rap Gang. While working closely with Grind Time, SL Jones appeared on a number of mixtapes and official retail albums, including I Pledge Allegiance To The Grind and Underground Atlanta.
Solo career
In 2009, SL Jones released his first solo mixtape C.O.L.O.R.S.: Bangin' On Wax. The mixtape included features from Killer Mike, Trae Tha Truth, Clipse, Chamillionaire, and more. Upon release, the project earned SL Jones accolades from a variety of press outlets, including Complex Magazine, which named SL Jones as one of The 10 Most Underrated New Rappers, writing: "With an analytical Mind and lyrical dexterity to go with impeccable flows and harmonies, [SL Jones] brings a complexity that's rare for both Southern and gang-affiliated rap."
In 2011, SL Jones released four projects. On May 23, SL Jones released the Don Cannon-hosted mixtape The Number 23, a project which included features from Killer Mike, Pill, Trae Tha Truth, Waka Flocka Flame, and Yo Gotti, along with production from various producers, most notably: Lex Luger, Shawty Redd, Don Cannon, and Smiff & Cash. The mixtape received positive feedback, with XXL Magazine awarding the project an L-rated review, while Atlanta's leading alternative weekly, Creative Loafing gave the project a 4/5.
On August 23, 2011, The Number 23 was re-released in a slimmed down, non-DJ format titled The Number 23: Editor's Cut. This version, with a total of 16 songs, included two new tracks: "Out Here", which features Rocko and JBar, and "Michael Jordan", produced by Lex Luger.
On September 14, 2011, SL Jones released Pandamonium, a project that remixed Clams Casino's Rainforest EP. The project contained five tracks.
On December 14, 2011, SL Jones released a mixtape, Flight Risk. The 10-track project included production by several producers, including Sonny Digital, Young L, Lex Luger, and Shawty Redd. XXL writes, "...the tape is another dosage of quality material from SL. Streets approved, no questions."
In 2012, SL Jones announced his intention to release a series of EP projects; instead he began working to complete a 12-track mixtape with Atlanta producer DJ Burn One for the first five months of the year. In February 2012, SL Jones announced the collaborative project, titled Paraphernalia. In concert with the announcement, SL Jones released "Wave Runner," a song produced by DJ Burn One that ultimately was not included on the mixtape. On May 23, SL Jones released Paraphernalia, which includes features from rappers Freddie Gibbs and Rittz and singer Ebony Love.
Critical response to Paraphernalia was positive. Complex Magazine hailed the mixtape as "an expertly crafted piece of Southern-fried hip-hop." FADER Magazine wrote, "Paraphernalia boasts variety, songcraft and attention to detail, a tough trifecta to find." RCRD LBL wrote, "Paraphernalia is like spending the day at a barbecue. There's soulful lyricism and the sort of stoned throwback organic funk at which Burn One excels." The Smoking Section wrote, "My best advice is not to sleep on Paraphernalia."<ref>{{cite web|author=Raj|title= New Music: SL Jones X DJ Burn One Feat. Rittz & Ebony Love - 'M.D.M.A.|url=http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2012/05/new-music-sl-jones-x-dj-burn-one-feat-rittz-m-d-m-a#more-294119|date=May 21, 2012}}</ref>
In 2013, SL Jones announced a new EP, Trapper's Delight, produced by M16. The EP included seven songs and earned strong marks from outlets like Complex, XXL, and others. In April, SL Jones went out on his first headline tour, "The Way Of Life No Hobby Tour", to support Trapper's Delight and prepare for his new mixtape. The nine-city tour made stops in states including Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
In August 2013, SL jones announced a new mixtape, Way Of Life No Hobby, hosted by popular mixtape DJ and record executive Don Cannon. The mixtape was preceded by three singles, "Big Bank (No Ones)", "America's Nightmare", and "Don't Want Nan". Like Trapper's Delight and Paraphernalia, SL Jones collaborated exclusively with one producer, Metro Boomin, for Way Of Life No Hobby. The mixtape was released on September 4, 2013, via popular mixtape website LiveMixtapes and includes features from Killer Mike, Kevin Gates, Starlito, Trouble, Mibbs of the rap group Pac Div, and others.

Herman Sr. BV Places Order for Damen Shoalbuster
Press Release October 30, 2018
Photo: Damen Shipyards
A contract has been signed between Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld and Herman Sr. BV for the building and delivery of a Shoalbuster 2308 S, to be named Teddy.
The new vessel will join the five other Damen Shoalbusters currently operated by the company and, with the hull already available from stock, is due for delivery in March / April 2019. This latest addition to the Senior BV fleet will allow the company to expand the services that it offers to the dredging, offshore wind and other sectors.
Herman Sr. BV. is a third-generation, family-owned company based in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. Its fleet of Damen Shoalbusters and Multi Cats enables it to offer a wide range of marine services to its customers and it currently has vessels under contract in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, as well as in Europe.
Like the other models in its class, the Shoalbuster 2308 is an exceptionally rugged and versatile workboat, which, as its name suggests, is optimized for a wide range of shallow water operations as well as offshore activities. The designs are continually updated to take advantage of the latest components and build techniques.

George Clooney is making a huge mistake. The man who claimed he'd never marry again is set to marry Sarah Larson in Italy…secretly. A super-celeb like Clooney trying to marry in secret is like having a full-scale fireworks display inside your garage so the neighbors won't notice.
A source in Laglio, the town where Clooney has a villa, says: 'They haven't made any announcement yet, but there are people in this town who know more than me. They say the couple are already engaged." Fare thee well, George. The cold, dark embrace of wedlock awaits.
The Derobers have an exclusive photo of the wedding invite below!
Nobody ties George Clooney down. NOBODY!

PABLO — It was a sparse crowd as seems to be just the way it is at the summer Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes general membership open meeting. Although the crowd was sparse, maybe 25 or so people due to the Fourth of July holiday, the discussions were not.
The day opened with a prayer by Stephan Small Salmon and a Flag Song by the Brothers Drum. The Brothers Drum members are all Trahan kin and military veterans.
Elders Speak
"Today, I am happy, but I am also sad," said Ql̓ispé Elder Small Salmon. Last year he was named War Dance Chief by the Arlee Celebration/Arlee Espapqeyni Committee during a regular monthly meeting of the Séliš-Ql̓ispé Culture Committee (SQCC) Elders Committee. That naming of the position formally held by his late-father Mitch Small Salmon. "Last year after I got it I heard there were complaints. This year the complaints continue. That makes me sad you know, when someone tells me what to do."
Small Salmon said despite that he was feeling good about the recent release of a movie — "The Last Beyond" — that featured a much younger Small Salmon when it was filmed 14 years ago. "It's taken 14 years to come out of the can," Small Salmon said in his best Hollywood jargon. The movie recently premiered in Bozeman about a month ago. The Western movie was filmed in the Bozeman area way back when but now it is seeing the light of day, or the dark of the cinema or it will be once the distribution gets finalized. Nonetheless Small Salmon said the wait was worth it, as was the filming that included Small Salmon roughing it up with his furry, clawed and toothy-fanged bear adversary. "I had to put my hand in the bear's mouth."
Raven Rogers thanked Small Salmon for serving as the Séliš-Ql̓ispé War Dance Chief, praised recent Yale graduate Sam Wall, and gave a shout out to military veterans.
Delores Abel Plumage, a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, whose husband Jack Plumage is a member of the Gros Ventre Tribes of Fort Belknap, has lived there for 40 years. She will be seeking a third term as a commissioner on the Blaine County Board of Commissioners. Delores is the daughter of Steve Abel and Bernice Pichette. She is the first woman and first American Indian woman to serve on the Blaine County Board of Commissioners.
"I feel very good when I come back on the (Flathead) reservation," Plumage said.
Plumage gave a little backdrop on what it's like to be the first American Indian woman to serve on the Blaine County Commission that includes the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. At times she feels more welcome on the Board of Commissioners than she does in the Fort Belknap Tribal Council chambers, she said.
Plumage is a Democrat while her two fellow Blaine County commissioners are Republican males. "I have to make alliances," she said. "I learned to work with Republicans."
However no matter how good the alliances are certain things like water and politics can gum up the process when it comes to Federal Indian Reserved Water Rights Compacts.
"We are having problems with the Fort Belknap compact, it's been ratified in the state but changes can be made in the U.S. Congress," Plumage said. The hitch in the giddy up that could see some congressional changes is the proposed land exchange of Bureau of Reclamation land in the Little Rockies. The land was previously a part of the Fort Belknap Reservation but was carved out in the late-1800s when gold was found in the Zortman and Landusky areas. "I would like to know what's going on with the water compact on the Flathead Reservation. Over in eastern Montana they are saying it's having problems. The ranchers in eastern Montana don't support the Salish Kootenai water compact. It's controversial and it's a battle we all have a dog in. Over here I hear it's not in trouble. I am very interested in getting updates. I ask what's going on. Blaine County knows what's going on over here. It's the $2.3 billion the CSKT are asking for. The Department of Interior says that's too much money. Every compact is interrelated and political. The Blackfeet and Crow tribal members are allowed to vote on their water compacts. When I want updates I talk to (Sen. Jon) Tester or (Rep. Craig) Gianforte aides. Updates are very important. I want updates."
"It's no accident that we're the last to settle the water compact. We are hard to deal with because we won't accept less," said St. Ignatius District Tribal Council Rep. Fred Matt. "If the Flathead settles for this (water compact) it sets the stage for the rest of the tribes… We'll hold the hard line."
"You are tribal citizens, state citizens and American citizens," Plumage said. "We have had a lot of scraps at Blaine County but we've worked things out. You're not into anything new you're in for a fight. You need to be at the table to find out what's going on."
"One of the advantages we have over other tribes is our legal staff," said Ronan District Tribal Council Rep. Carole Lankford. "Our combined professional staff and our legal staff are good for us. We're cautiously providing the membership with information."
"Lake County and the state probably know more about your business than tribal members," Plumage said.
Tribal Council Updates
It was part Cliff Notes and rough drafts but no novels when it came to Tribal Council updates.
"It's been sad times for me personally," Lankford said. "And hard times up here."
"I don't have a lot to report," said Pablo District Tribal Council Rep. Dennis Clairmont. He has been on the Yellowstone bison hunt tour, working with Missoula County on upgrading the Council Groves historic area where the Séliš, Ksanka and Ql̓ispé negotiated its 1855 Treaty of Hell Gate with Oregon Territorial Gov. Isaac Stevens, and the Mud Creek (Old U.S. Highway 93) and U.S. HIghway 93 intersection near Pablo. "I deal with the issues the best I can."
Arlee District Tribal Council Rep. Shelly Fyant said she continues to work on the Missing and Murdered Indian Women, runoff from mining in Canada and food sovereignty. She read a letter from Victor Matt on the Matt family's desire to manage the 2020 Arlee Celebration/ Arlee Espapqeyni.
"I want to thank the drum and those who keep our culture alive. My heart is for my people, always has been, always will be; that is something that will never change," said Arlee District Tribal Council Rep. Myrna Dumontier. "I use the past as my foundation to build our future on. I hope to continue this work far into the future."
Veteran Tribal Councilmember and former chair Fred Matt said he is still playing catch-up. "You always have moving targets on the council even if you're an old vet," Matt said. "A couple of weeks ago I toured the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project. It's alarming how old and dilapidated it is. It needs to be fixed. The pumping plant is in a terrible state of disrepair."
Matt said he is serving on the Inter-Tribal Timber Council, a position he served in his previous incarnations as a Tribal Councilmember. The 2023 national convention will be held on the Flathead Reservation in June 2023.
Polson District Tribal Council Rep. Charmel Gillin said she recently represented the CSKT at the Tribal Leaders Summit meeting with Gov. Steve Bullock.
"Everyday we have to recognize the need to stand up for our rights," Gillin said. "The dialogue tends to take its own shape through the organic process. We have to stand up for things that need to be addressed. The governor and his staff have been very receptive but we hold our ground."
Dixon District Tribal Council Rep. Anita Matt said her district meetings participation continues to grow turnout-wise and subject-wise. "We are bringing people together for a lot of good discussions," she said. "We recently had a community clean up at the Dixon Agency and we will continue to work with the Agency community. We are still working on getting a community building."
Matt serves as the president of the Montana-Wyoming Region Inter Tribal Agriculture Committee. She said there are 23 issues on the Farm Bill that affects tribal agricultural operations. The Flathead Nation will host the regional Inter Tribal Agriculture meeting June 29 and 30.
Elmo District Tribal Council Rep. Len TwoTeeth said he continues to work on the proposed Big Arm RV park roadway case. "The case will have huge impacts in Indian Country," Twoteeth said of the case pitting Lake County against the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes over a road right of way issue.
"This Tribal Council is a busy one," said Tribal Council Chair Ronald Trahan. "What is our battle today? Two point three million dollars is not a big amount of money. We'll fight for this."
Vern Clairmont
"He didn't want this," Trahan said of the recognition of recently retired CSKT financial manager Vern Clairmont. The longtime tribal bean counter's retirement was short lived. He and his two sons have set up a financial advisory business that will keep them busy. Rick Eneas has replaced Clairmont. "It's hard to see these people leave."
"He didn't want any big fanfare," Matt said. "You deserve this. The Tribes relied on you."
"I didn't plan for this. I came in this morning to thank you, the Tribal Council and our Tribes for almost 45 years of employment," Clairmont said. "Throughout the years we got a lot of things accomplished."
Clairmont said his retirement was good "for about a month." He and sons Jeff and Jason decided to set up a financial consultant business entitled Raven Consultants, LLC.
"We will be working with other tribes, national tribal organizations, Indian housing organizations to tighten up their accounting," Clairmont said. "It's going to be a fun adventure for me to work with my sons."
Clairmont said the Honor Song by The Brothers Drum after being draped with a Pendleton blanket by Chair Trahan and Lankford made his day.
"People don't know how good it is to hear the drum," Clairmont said.
Legal Update
CSKT Legal Department attorney Jordan Thompson gave an update on some of the CSKT legal issues, in particular the Water Rights Compact and the Big Arm RV camp road right of way issue.
Thompson said the tour of FIIP infrastructure was eye-opening tour of a "terrible situation to see. The irrigation project destroyed the environment, destroyed the hydrograph and destroyed the tribal culture. How do you fix that?"
The FIIP was built for the benefit of the Flathead Nation membership but a few years after it was built in the early 1900s the reservation land was allotted to eligible tribal members then was opened to non-Indian homesteading. The irrigation project built to turn free roaming Indians into Thomas Jefferson's ideal of agrarian land tillers didn't work. Due to homesteading the irrigation project went from near total Indian irrigators to about 10 percent of irrigators. It remains that way to this day, 90 percent of the irrigators served by FIIP are non-Indian.
Despite that, Thompson said the Tribes' Steven's 1855 Treaty of Hell Gate armor the CSKT with off-reservation rights that the other Tribal Nations in the state lack. They also have the first in time, first in water rights. The State of Montana signed off on the CSKT water compact in 2015. It is now in the hands of the U.S. Congress.
"They have to pass the legislation that was introduced," Thompson said, adding that criterion and procedures will look at the costs and liabilities of claims. "With the compact they will try to fix the damages done, restore the project facilities that are inefficient, rundown. How do we modernize the facilities to be more efficient, to be better for the fish, how do we manage return flows. Usually all irrigation water is used not returned to the streams."
Restoration is also needed for degraded land resources and waterways and cultural ways lost or damaged.
Thompson said the water compact is good for the CSKT and State of Montana. "It's a win-win for the Tribes and State. Let's agree on that and let's get public support," he said. "I'm cautiously optimistic we're on the right track to get the legislation reintroduced in the next legislative session."
"Have you heard about the project bill and the funding bill," Plumage asked Thompson.
He said he heard the project bill would get passed and the funding bill would come about later in the process. "The underlying issues won't be changed," Thompson said.
"That's where negotiations come in," Trahan said.
When asked about water management dispute resolution process, Thompson said the CSKT Water Compact does have such an entity — Unitary Management Committee — comprised of two tribal member representatives, two non-Indian representatives and one federal representative.
Thompson said the Big Arm RV park road right of way issue came about last winter when the Lake County Planning Board issued a permit for the RV park. The Tribes maintain that according to the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act that the taking of CSKT lands ended with the act.
The county platted villa and town sites in the area but they were never developed and the roads never built. The roads in the area that were developed served tribal home sites and homesteads. The Tribes maintain that since the plats and roads were never developed they revert back to tribal land ownership.
Delores Plumage was asked to deliver the closing prayer.

In Praise of Calling Out Our Absurd and Immoral Economic System
Sabeel Rahman Talks to Andrew Keen on Keen On
On today's episode, Andrew talks with K. Sabeel Rahman, president of Demos, about why we need to challenge the privatization in America of the last 30 years.
Andrew Keen: Yesterday, we had Robert Putnam on the show, coauthor of The Upswing, which suggests that the crisis in America is a cultural crisis of narcissism, of isolation, of fragmentation. Is Putnam right—Putnam is one of America's leading communitarians—that the challenge is to rethink citizenship and community in the 21st century? Putnam, when I talked to him, was rather ambivalent on the capitalism front. His argument was we've always had capitalism in America, in the 19th and the 20th century, and progressivism challenged the old deal in the 19th century, and we can do it again.
Sabeel Rahman: I think it's a bit of both. There's no question that for a democratic society, especially a multiracial, multiethnic, multireligious, democratic society, to thrive, we need just a baseline moral community where we see one another as coequal members of this society, treat each other with equal dignity, understand one another's fates to be linked. My well-being and my participation support depends on a society that also ensures the well-being of others around me. That's certainly a moral and ethical piece.
But what I would say is that there are rules and institutions and laws that either make that real or make that a lie. And a lot of what we're living with now is the end result of 40, 50 years of public policy that has been advanced by the far right, by the corporate middle, policies going back to the deregulation turn of the 70s, to the move to heavy financialization of our economy in the 90s and 2000s. But those are public policy moves that actually accelerated or exacerbated this fragmentation.
So, when you talk about the split between the stock market and what people are experiencing, between the über wealthy and everybody else, those splits are a product of policy. And we could have different policies that actually bring our shared experiences more in line, which then allows us to actually see one another as equals. You don't get one without the other. I don't think it's enough to exhort people to treat one another as your co-citizens. Yes, you should do that, but the real issue here is that we have policies that have been designed to replicate and reinforce racial and economic hierarchies of various kinds.
Andrew Keen: Where are we going to start on this, Sabeel? Is it with the basic Workers Bill of Rights? Is that the core foundation of this infrastructural reform that you're calling for?
Sabeel Rahman: I think there are a couple of things. Just to go back to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez for a moment, I actually think that's one of the key things that we need to do. She's been, in my view, one of the most effective communicators and champions of this way of thinking about the economy in our society. Really not mincing words about how absurd it is and how immoral our current economic system is and what we need to do differently. So, I think there's a narrative piece of just, let's make the argument unabashedly, clearly that we need to have a different world.
K. Sabeel Rahman is an Associate Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School and President of Demos. He previously has been a Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School (2017), and a Fellow at New America. Rahman has worked extensively with policymakers, funders, and advocacy groups in developing strategies and novel approaches to questions of democracy and economic inequality. In 2014-15 he served as a Special Advisor on strategies for inclusive economic development in New York City, and from 2015-16 as a Public Member of the New York City Rent Guidelines Board. From 2013-2016, Rahman was the Design Director for the Gettysburg Project, an interdisciplinary initiative working with organizers, academics, and funders to develop new strategies for civic engagement and building civic capacity. In addition, Rahman is on the Board of The New Press, a non-profit publisher focusing on publishing books in the public interest, and United to Protect Democracy, a legal advocacy group battling current threats to American democratic institutions.

Сёхо — японский лёгкий авианосец типа «Дзуйхо». Принял участие во Второй мировой войне. Потоплен американской палубной авиацией 7 мая 1942 года в ходе сражения в Коралловом море.
История создания
Данный корабль первоначально закладывался как быстроходный танкер «Цуругизаки».
Затем он был переоборудован в плавбазу подводных лодок (без изменения названия), проект которой предусматривал быструю конверсию в авианосец. Имел два самолётоподъёмника.
К 26 января 1942 года был переделан в авианосец.
История службы

Virginia Distillery Co unveils beer-finished whiskey range
07 February 2018 By Owen Bellwood
The Virginia Distillery Company has launched the first beer barrel-finished whiskey in its Brewers Batch range, a series that involves collaborations with local breweries.
The whiskey was finished in ex-beer barrels for 12 months
Batch #1, the first expression in the distillery's new Brewers Batch range, has been produced in collaboration with the Three Notch'd Brewing Company in Virginia.
The collaboration saw the Virginia brewery produce a Wee Heavy style beer, called Stage Road, which was aged in casks from the distillery for a number of months.
Once the beer had matured, the casks were drained and returned to the Virginia Distillery Company, which then transferred its whiskey into the casks for 12 months.
Dave Warwick, brew master at the Three Notch'd Brewing Company, said: "I would've never guessed that whiskey could pick up flavours from beer barrels, but Virginia Distillery Company made it happen.
"Seeing our logo on a whiskey bottle is surreal. It's definitely one of our proudest moments here at Three Notch'd."
The whiskey maker, which uses Scottish barley to make its spirit, hopes that the Brewers Batch range will see it collaborate with breweries outside of Virginia.
Virginia Distillery Company's CEO, Gareth H Moore, said: "We love collaborating with different makers on releases. The Brewers Batch Virginia-Highland Whisky has provided a fun chance to work with a great quality brewery that happens to be close to home."
The distillery is currently working on the second batch in the range with Three Stars Brewing in Washington, D.C.
Brewers Batch #1 will be available from select Virginia ABC stores at an RRP of $64.59 per 750ml.
Last year, the Lovingston-based whisky maker introduced an initiative allowing individuals or groups to purchase a cask of its maturing spirit. | {

Q: Getting Data from button click for Jquery I am using the "Second Solution" from this problem:
call the same jQuery function in multiple buttons
I am dynamically creating my buttons, based on an input, so there is currently 45 buttons! (used to select page number)
Is there a way to use the value of the button as data in my $.get so I can pull the data for the page?
$('.bclick').click(function(){
$.getJSON("url", { page: [need button data here] }, function(data){
//Some actionable code
})
});
.bclick is the class given to each of the buttons created.
A: when you are inside of the function, the reserved word this is a reference to your clicked button.
$('.bclick').click(function(){
var page = $(this).val();
$.getJSON("url", { page: page }, function(data){
//Some actionable code
})
});
If your buttons are created dinamically probably this solution won't work. I may suggest you to use $.on():
$("parent selector or form selector").on("click", ".bclick", function(){
var page = $(this).val();
$.getJSON("url", { page: page }, function(data){
//Some actionable code
})
})
A: If you are generating buttons dynamically, then use .on.
$(function(){
$(document).on("click", ".blick", function(){
var $this = $(this);
var buttonName = $this.attr("name");
});
});
Sample code
A: Yes you can by adding an extra attribute to your .bclick element, for example
<button class="bclick" data="your data here"></button>.
Then
$('.bclick').click(function(){
var buttonData = $(this).attr('data');
$.getJSON("url", { page: buttonData }, function(data){
//Some actionable code
})
});

History of the United States, from the discovery of the amarican ..., 第 2 卷
作者:George Bancroft
of the chafing waves into arches and bastions, caverns and towering walls, heaps of prostrate ruins, and erect columns crowned with fantastic entablatures. Landing on the south shore, he said mass,-thus consecrating the forests, which he claimed for a Christian king:
Sailing beyond the Bay of St. Theresa, and having yainly sought for a mass of pure copper, of which he had heard rumours, on the first day of October he arrived at the great village of the Chippewas, in the Bay of Che-goime-gon. It was at a moment when the young warriors were bent on a strife with the warlike Sioux. A grand council of ten or twelve neighbouring nations was held, to wrest the hatchet from the hands of the rash braves; and Alloüez was admitted to an audience before the vast assembly. In the name of Louis XIV. and his viceroy, he commanded peace, and offered commerce and an alliance against the Iroquois : the soldiers of France would smooth the path between the Chippewas and Quebec ; would brush the pirate canoes from the rivers ; would leave to the Five Nations no choice but between tran1665- quillity and destruction. On the shore of the bay, 1667. to which the abundant fisheries attracted crowds, a chapel soon rose, and the mission of the Holy Spirit was founded. There admiring throngs, who had never seen a European, came to gaze on the white man, and on the pictures which he displayed of the realms of hell and of the last judgment; there a choir of Chippewas were taught to chant the pater and the ave. During his long sojourn, he lighted the torch of faith for more than twenty different nations. The dwellers round the Sault, a band of
• the Outehibouec," as the Jesuits called the Chippewas, pitched their tents near his cabin for a month,
and received his instructions. The scattered Hurons and Ottawas, that roamed the deserts north of Lake Superior, appealed to his compassion, and, before his return, obtained his presence in their morasses. From the unexplored recesses of Lake Michigan came the Potawatomies; and these worshippers of the sun invited him to their homes. The Sacs and Foxes travelled on foot from their country, which abounded in deer, and beaver, and buffalo. The Illinois, also,
,-a hospitable race, unaccustomed to canoes, having no weapon but the bow and arrow,-came to rehearse their sorrows.
Their ancient glory and their numbers had been diminished by the Sioux, on the one side, and
the Iroquois, armed with muskets, on the other. Curiosity was roused by their tale of the noble river on which they dwelt, and which flowed towards the south.
* They had no forests, but, instead of them, vast prairies, where herds of deer and buffalo, and other animals, grazed on the tall grasses." They explained, also, the wonders of their peace-pipe, and declared it their custom to welcome the friendly stranger with shouts of joy.
" Their country," said Alloüez, " is th9 best field for the gospel. Had I had leisure, I would have gone to their dwellings, to see with my own eyes all the good that was told me of them."
Then, too, at the very extremity of the lake, the missionary met the wild, impassive warriors of the Sioux, who dwelt to the west of Lake Superior, in a land of prairies, with wild rice for food, and skins of beasts, instead of bark, for roofs to their cabins, on the banks of the Great River, of which Alloüez reported the name to be "Messipi.'
After residing for nearly two years chiefly on the southern margin of Lake Superior, and conn
nnecting his name imperishably with the progress of discovery in the
west, Alloüez returned to Quebec to urge the esta1667
blishment of permanent missions, to be accompanied by little colonies of French emigrants ;-and such was his own fervour, such the earnestness with which he was seconded, that, in two days, with another priest, Louis Nicolas, for his companion, he was on his way, returning to the mission at Che-goi-me-gon. The prevalence of peace favoured the progress
of French dominion : the company of the West Indies, resigning its monopoly of the fur-trade, gave an impulse to Canadian enterprise; a recruit of missionaries had arrived from France; and Claude Dablon and James Marquette repaired to the Chippewas at the Sault, to establish the mission of St. Mary: It is the oldest settlement begun by Europeans within the present limits of the commonwealth of Michigan.
For the succeeding years, the illustrious triumvirate, Alloüez, Dablon, and Marquette, were employed in confirming the influence of France in the vast regions that extend from Green Bay to the head of Lake Superior,mingling happiness with suffering, and winning enduring glory by their fearless perseverance.
For to what incle. mencies, from nature and from man, was each missionary
among the barbarians exposed! He defies the severity of climate, wading through water, or through snows, without the comfort of fire ; having no bread but pounded maize, and often no food but the unwholesome moss from the rocks ; labouring incessantly; exposed to live, as it were, without nourishment, to sleep without a resting-place, to travel far, and always incurring perils,—to carry his life in his hand, or rather daily, and oftener than every day, to hold it up as a target, expecting captivity, death from the tomahawk, tortures, fire. And yet the simplicity and the freedom of life in the wilderness had their charms The heart of the missionary would swell with delight, as, under a serene sky, and with a mild temperature, and breathing a pure air, he moved over waters as transparent as the most limpid fountain. Every encampment offered his attendants the pleasures of the chase. Like a patriarch, he dwelt beneath a tent; and of the land through which he walked, he was its master, in the length of it and in the breadth of it, profiting by its productions, without the embarrassment of ownership. How often was the pillow of stones like that where Jacob felt the presence of God! How often did the ancient oak, of which the centuries were untold, seem like the tree of Mamre, beneath which Abraham broke bread with angels! Each day gave the pilgrim a new site for his dwelling, which the industry of a few moments would erect, and for which nature pro. vided a floor of green, inlaid with flowers. On every side clustered beauties, which art had not spoiled, and could not imitate.
The purpose of discovering the Mississippi, of 1669. which the tales of the natives had published the magnificence, sprung from Marquette himself. He had resolved on attempting it, in the autumn of 1669 ; and, when delay intervened, from the necessity of employing himself at Che-goi-me-gon, which Alloüez had exchanged for a new 1669, mission at Green Bay, he selected a young Illinois as 1670. a companion, by whose instructions he became familiar with the dialect of that tribe.
Continued commerce with the French gave protec1670.
tion to the Algonquins of the west, and confirmed their attachment. Å political interest grew up, and ex. tended to Colbert and the ministry of Louis XIV. It became the fixed purpose of Talon, the intendant of the colony, to spread the power of France to the utmost bor. ders of Canada. To this end, Nicolas Perrot appeared as his agent in the west, to propose a congress of the nations at St. Mary's. The invitation reached the tribes of Lake Superior, and was carried even to the wandering hordes of the remotest north. Nor did the messenger neglect the south ; obtaining, at Green Bay, an escort of Potawatomies, he, the first of Europeans, repaired on the same mission of friendship to the Miamis at Chicago.
The day appointed for the unwonted spectacle of 1671. the
congress of nations arrived ; and, with Alloüez as his interpreter, St. Lusson, fresh from an excursion to Southern Canada,—that is, the borders of the Kennebec, where English habitations were already sown broadcast along the coast,-appeared at the Falls of St. Mary as the delegate of Talon. There are assembled the envoys of the wild republicans of the wilderness, and brilliantly-clad officers from the veteran armies of France. It was formally announced to the natives, gathered, as they were, from the head-springs of the St. Lawrence, the Mississippi, and the Red River, that they were placed under the protection of the French king. A cross of cedar was raised ; and, amidst the groves of maple and pine, of elm and hemlock, that are strangely intermingled on the beautiful banks of the St. Mary, where the bounding river lashes its waters into snowy whiteness, as they hurry past the dark evergreen of the tufted islands in the channel, the whole company of the French, bowing before the emblem of man's redemption, chanted to its glory a hymn of the seventh century
" Vexilla Regis prodeunt ;
Fulget crucis mysterium.'
The banners of heaven's King advance;
The mystery of the cross shines forth. By the side of the cross, a cedar column was planted, and marked with the lilies of the Bourbons. Thus were the authority and the faith of France uplifted, in the presence of the ancient races of America, in the heart of our conti. nent. Yet this daring ambition of the servants of a military monarch was doomed to leave no abiding monument, this echo of the middle age to die away.
In the same year, Marquette gathered the wandering remains of one branch of the Huron nation round a chapel at Point St. Ignace, on the continent, north of the penin
sula of Michigan. The climate was repulsive ; but fishı abounded, at all seasons, in the strait; and the establishment was long maintained as the key to the west, and the convenient rendezvous of the remote Algonquins. Here, also, Marquette once more gained a place among the founders of Michigan.
The countries south of the village, founded by 1672.
Marquette, were explored by Allouez and Dablon, who bore the cross through Eastern Wisconsin, and the north of Illinois, visiting the Mascoutins and the Kickapoos on the Milwauke, and the Miamis, at the head of Lake Michigan. The young men of the latter tribe were intent on an excursion against the Sioux, and they prayed to the missionaries to give them the victory. After finishing the circuit, Alloüez, fearless of danger, extended his rambles to the cabins of the Foxes, on the river which bears their name.
The long-expected discovery of the Mississippi was 1673. at hand, to be accomplished by Joliet, of Quebec, of whom there is no record, but of this one excursion, that gives him immortality, and by Marquette, who, after years of pious assiduity to the poor wrecks of Hurons, whom he planted, near abundant fisheries, on the cold extremity of Michigan, entered, with equal humility, upon a career which exposed his life to perpetual danger, and, by its results, affected the destiny of nations.
The enterprise projected by Marquette had been favoured by Talon, the intendant of New France, who, on the point of quitting Canada, wished to signalize the last period of his stay, by ascertaining if the French, descending the great river of the central west, could bear the banner of France to the Pacific, or plant it, side by side with that of Spain, on the Gulf of Mexico.
A branch of the Potawatomies, familiar with Marquette as a missionary, heard with wonder the daring proposal.
Those distant nations," said they, never spare the strangers; their mutual wars fill their borders with bands of warriors; the Great River abounds in monsters, which devour both men and canoes ; the excessive heats occasion death."—"I shall gladly lay down my life for the salvation of souls," replied the good father; and the docile nation joined him in prayer.
At the last village on Fox River ever visited by the French, -where Kickapoos, Mascoutins, and Miamis | {

BREAKING: WWIII with Russia? Here Is What The Democrats Want
(breitbart) – The corporate media and Democrats are whipping up a moral panic around Ukraine that could deliver us right into World War III, all in an effort to win the 2022 midterms — and it looks as if more and more Republicans are falling for it.
Past is prologue, so let's look at the recent past as a means to understand what's happening.
Five years ago, all in an effort to overthrow a duly elected President Trump, Democrats, the media, and the Deep State fabricated the Russia Collusion Hoax.
When that failed, the murder of George Floyd was used as an excuse to burn and loot a countless number of Democrat-run cities.
When that failed, the China Flu was exploited to smash small businesses, dehumanize Trump voters, and stunt children's growth using masks.
In all three cases, over a mere five years, the media and Democrats manipulated events into eras of neo-McCarthyism.
To begin with, there were the purity tests…
You were either against Trump or with Russia rigging our elections. You supported the domestic terrorists in Black Lives Matter or were a racist. You were either willing to mask little kids and destroy the livelihoods of vaccine skeptics and small businesses, or you were a serial killer.
These purity tests came with false idols we were required to worship: Robert Mueller, George Floyd, and Anthony Fauci.
This is what happens when you have a political party incapable of governing. The Democrat party's elitism has cost them the working class. Additionally, almost every city they govern is a Third World-like Detroit or headed in that direction. They want gay porn taught in schools, mentally ill men sharing locker rooms with our daughters, kids masked forever, high gas prices, open borders… I could go on.
So, in an effort to distract from that, we've been hit with three neo-McCarthyism eras in a row, three moral panics, but number four is by far the most terrifying.
Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine will hopefully end with his humiliation. But wishing for that and approving of economic sanctions against Russia is not enough. It should be enough. In a sane world, a war unfolding in a country that is of no strategic interest to us would be story number four or five, after inflation, gas prices, and crime. But instead of focusing on issues that matter to everyday Americans, Democrats and their media allies are frantically manufacturing a moral panic around Ukraine. Hell, we've been given an idol to worship, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and purity tests… We're blacklisting Russian artists (including dead ones), we're killing a countless number of Russian jobs, we're even ceasing the exportation of medicines. This is insane. Why would we want to make enemies of the Russian people?
But none of that matters.
More frightening still are the growing calls for a no-fly zone over Ukraine — an act that would, without question, lead to a hot war between the U.S. and Russia.
A no-fly zone means we shoot down Russian planes. Period. If that's not a hot war, nothing is.
The media misinformation about no-fly zones mixed with all the emotional manipulation around the war has — at least according to one poll — resulted in 74 percent of the country favoring a no-fly zone. That's right: according to at least one poll, 74 percent of the American people want to go to war with Russia — war-war, a real war.
The moral panic now has some members of the GOP calling for military escalation against Russia:
"U.S. Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., says he supports imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine, despite the risks involved with the U.S. shooting down Russian aircraft and escalating the conflict."
"Maria Elvira Salazar, [a Republican] who represents Florida's 27th congressional district, told reporters she 'absolutely' supported Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's calls for a no-fly zone when asked on Wednesday."
"Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) endorsed the idea of creating a no-fly zone over Ukraine amid the Russian invasion of the eastern European country, which grows deadlier by the day as Russian troops lay siege to population centers."
Here's the most manipulative of them all…
South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham announced on Sunday he would support a NATO-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine if Vladimir Putin used chemical weapons on civilians there.
With his red line, you can see what the war-monger Graham is up to. It's WMD all over again. Except…
Last week, while testifying before the U.S. Senate, Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, a notorious Deep Stater, admitted the following: "Ukraine has biological research facilities which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops may be seeking to gain control of." But Nuland went on to say that if there's a chemical or biological attack, she is 100 percent certain Russia will be responsible. "It is classic Russian technique," she said, "to blame on the other guy what they are planning to do themselves."
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute…
Does that not give off the same WMD stink that led us into a futile 20-year war in Iraq?
Is that the play here? We're just going to willy-nilly start shooting down Russian jets (i.e., go to war with Russia) because we're 100 percent certain that if some biological event occurs, it's Russia's doing?
The media and America's war-mongers are so desperate to cover up the fact that Ukraine does indeed have these biological facilities that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has been attacked as a traitor for urging caution, for fear of these facilities being "inadvertently or purposely breached or compromised." Get this: over a $59.95 donation, the far-left Daily Beast suggested Gabbard was compromised by an "accused Russian agent."
And then there's no less than the Republican leader in the U.S. Senate, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), looking to out-flank Biden:
With regard to the ongoing war in Ukraine, it seems to me that the president believes that any effort to help Ukrainians is potentially provocative to the Russians. Look, the provocations have already occurred. The war is underway. We need to do any and everything we can to help our Ukrainian friends — short of, as we all agree, putting American troops across the NATO line. Unfortunately, the administration keeps on dragging its heels. Even when they do the right thing, they do it too late. The administration needs to get the message we need to help the Ukrainians in every conceivable way.
Alternately, Democrats and the media are pressuring Biden to out-flank Republicans, to use the moral panic to paint the GOP as weak on Ukraine. This would not only mean the Democrats and Biden would have to escalate their own rhetoric and war-mongering, it would escalate the GOP's:
"'We're Zelenskyy Democrats. And they're Putin Republicans' would be my bumper sticker," Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), said in an interview Wednesday.
Biden's reluctance to more forcefully combat Republican attacks reflects both a fear that the situation in Ukraine could escalate further and an effort — at least for now — to minimize the creep of domestic politics in delicate matters of foreign affairs. Republicans have been less concerned about dragging Biden's decisions squarely into the political arena.
Here's the bottom line, the hard truth: The fact that what Russia is doing to Ukraine constitutes an atrocity is not enough to justify war or risk war. And as of right now, and I hope this doesn't change, Biden is handling things about as well as one could hope. Yet, McConnell is accusing Biden of "dragging his feet." Yeah, well, that's precisely what Biden should be doing, especially if there's a "biological event."
Ukraine is not our problem, and if this manufactured moral panic infects our politics anymore and we decide to make it our problem, that would mean we've been manipulated into risking World War III for no valid reason. All of this war fever is about one thing: rescuing Democrats from oblivion in the 2022 midterms.
If Ukraine defeats Russia, hooray.
If Ukraine falls to Russia, that would be a shame, but it's not our problem.
But do not underestimate the media's and the Democrat party's willingness to do unholy things to protect their power. These monsters have already burned our cities, attempted a coup, and abused our children.
To the left, World War III is more than worth it if it means holding power.

Madoff Mess Hits the Divorce Courts Part II – The Appellate Court Speaks
By Eric S. Solotoff on January 7, 2011
Last year, I wrote a post on this blog about the Madoff Mess hitting the divorce Courts, the trial court's decision in that case and even a podcast that I had participated in about the decision.
In this case, in June 2006, the parties agreed to evenly split the $5.4 million in an account they had with Madoff Securities. As a result, the husband gave the wife $2.7 million in cash, and retained the account. As a result of the Madoff Ponzi scheme that has essentially rendered the account worthless, the husband has filed suit seeking the $2.7 million that he paid the wife. The husband (a prominent attorney with a large NY law firm) alleged that because the account turned out to be valueless, the spirit of the agreement was broken. The wife's position was the husband withdrew probably $3 million to pay the wife, so the asset did exist at the time of the settlement agreement.
Acting New York State Supreme Court acting Justice Saralee Evans decided that the husband is stuck with his decision to keep the account instead of withdrawing his money before the December 2008 collapse of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. The Justice noted that while the husband claimed the Madoff account held no assets, he did not allege it had no value. Key to the decision was that in 2006 and "the several years after that plaintiff maintained this investment," the account "could have been redeemed for cash, presumably significantly in excess of its 2004 value." In addition, the Justice held that "An investor's ability to redeem an account for value, was the assumption on which the parties relied in dividing their property and in doing so they made no mistake."The public policy of the finality of settlements was upheld.
At the time, I wondered about the ultimate fairness of this and said:
That said, if this case was in New Jersey, there may be the possibility of a recovery here. Though the general rule is that equitable distribution is not-modifiable, the issue may turn on whether there was $5.7 million in the account at the time of the divorce or whether that was simply an illusion created by Madoff's alleged fraud. If the account really had no value at that time, then the parties made a "mutual mistake". In that case, the settlement agreement could be re-formed to create an equitable result. If the money was actually in the account at that time, there could be a different result. One could argue that this really wasn't any different than any other investment that loses value – though that result seems harsh. However, assuming the husband had that money in your ordinary stock account, given the stock market over the last year and current financial crisis, it seems unlikely that his $5.4 million would still be $5.4 million. If there were just stock losses, it is highly unlikely that he would be entitled to any relief. Moreover, it is not unlikely that if the wife invested her $2.7 million in stock or real estate, that she has her full $2.7 million either.
Whether is is ultimately fair since the asset may not have really existed is another story. It is different than retaining a stock account and then the market goes up or down because in that instance, there really was an asset as opposed to a fictional asset. It is also different than holding on to a home whose value has decreased, as I have blogged on before.
It turned out, the Appellate Division in New York agreed with my logic and reversed the dismissal of the trial court matter and allowing the matter to be opened up.
The Appellate Court found that dismissal was improper and the husband had the right to try to pursue both the issues of mutual mistake (i.e. there never really was an account) and that the wife was unjustly enriched. In coming to its decision, the majority of the court held:
The dissent states: "[a]t the time of the agreement, Steven had an account in his name with [Madoff]." Untrue. Steven never had an account in his name with Madoff; on Madoff's own admission there were no accounts within which trades were made on behalf of investors.
The dissent then states, "Steven liquidated part of the account to fund his payments to Laura." Untrue. In Madoff's Ponzi scheme what appeared to Steven and Laura to be a partial liquidation of an account was simply a payment to Steven that came from funds deposited by a more recent "investor" in what the "investor" believed was his own account.
The dissent further observes, "[Steven] did not liquidate the rest of the Madoff account … and he continued to invest in it." Untrue. There was no account which could be liquidated, as became apparent when Madoff received $7 billion worth of "liquidation" calls from investors in 2008. Nor was Steven "investing" in an account; his further contributions went directly to pay other "investors" in the scheme.
Clearly, this case is far from over. We will update you when the next move is reported from the courts.

On 18 June, Churchill warned the British people that the 'battle of France' was over and the 'battle of Britain' was about to begin. His words were proved right. As early summer gave way to July and August, the threat of invasion loomed over Britain.
Churchill, seeing that control of the skies was vital, put businessman Lord Beaverbrook in charge of Aircraft Production (as Minister) and encouraged British scientists to improve radar defences and counter German technology. In August, the Royal Air Force managed to inflict heavy casualties on the German Luftwaffe and, in September, the German pilots transferred their attention from the coastal airfields and those in south-west England to London, allowing the fighter bases respite from attack but putting British people in the city at much greater risk. In early September a massive series of raids involving nearly four hundred German bombers and more than six hundred fighters targeted docks in London's East End almost continuously, day and night.
In early September a massive series of raids involving nearly four hundred German bombers and more than six hundred fighters targeted docks in London's East End almost continuously, day and night. Listen to a reporter describing London in the Blitz, with St Paul's Cathedral, its dome silhouetted against the 'ruddy sky … almost like the Day of Judgement'.
For more on the Battle of Britain, see the BBC collection in their online Archive of programmes and documents (including interviews from some of the battle's heroes and film footage of the Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane fighter planes in action).
The turning point in Britain's fortunes in the war was captured by Churchill's famous speech in praise of the British men of the under-resourced Royal Air Force. But more was still to come. | {

Essential California: The earthquake that changed the state
The headline about the Sylmar earthquake that ran in the Los Angeles Times on Feb. 10, 1971.
By Julia WickStaff Writer
Feb. 9, 2021 5:30 AM PT
Good morning, and welcome to the Essential California newsletter. It's Tuesday, Feb. 9, and I'm writing from Los Angeles.
9:00 a.m. Feb. 9, 2021The Loma Prieta earthquake was in 1989, not 1984.
Fifty years ago this morning, millions of people were violently jolted awake just after 6 a.m.
For 12 savage seconds, the ground shook. Overpass bridges tumbled into freeway lanes. Hospitals crumbled. The San Gabriel Mountains lurched several feet south. It was a shock and terror so immense that not all victims were felled by physical destruction — eight of the 64 deaths attributed to Sylmar earthquake were caused by heart attacks. Parts of the northeast San Fernando Valley resembled a war zone.
The first quake was over before the clock hit 6:01 on Feb. 9, 1971, though the aftershocks would continue for years to come.
As my colleague Doug Smith writes, the Sylmar earthquake "managed to wake California up to a danger that was largely unrecognized."
[Read the story: "50 years ago, the Sylmar earthquake shook L.A., and nothing's been the same since" in the Los Angeles Times]
The magnitude 6.6 Sylmar earthquake was not the proverbial Big One. But that catastrophic February day served as a catalyst for our modern era of earthquake awareness and preparedness, ushering in new earthquake legislation, programs and building code standards.
Doug (who began his career at The Times just a few months before the Sylmar quake) examines the earthquake's legacy. His story also looks at how much worse the disaster could have been, had the Lower Van Norman Dam near Granada Hills collapsed, potentially killing tens of thousands of people. The catastrophic questions of what could have been had a galvanizing effect on lawmakers.
As Doug reports, the California Legislature responded with laws championed by state Sen. Alfred E. Alquist that required earthquake zones to be mapped and set new design standards for hospitals, and Congress created the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program several years later.
The political aftershocks of the Sylmar earthquake — and the ensuing preparedness and safety measures — allowed Californians to weather the 1989 Loma Prieta and 1994 Northridge earthquakes with far less damage, according to earthquake expert Lucy Jones.
"This earthquake in particular, as sort of the first one after Los Angeles had really become a major city, it highlighted a lot of problems that did end up being addressed," Jones said in a recent Sylmar earthquake-focused episode of her podcast "Getting Through It."
In an interesting footnote, the aftereffects of the Sylmar earthquake also forged a career path for the state's foremost earthquake authority. Jones said that her doctoral work — as well as the U.S. Geological Survey job she held for most of her career — were funded through that same earthquake hazard reduction program created by Congress in the late 1970s.
In Los Angeles, Latino and Black seniors fall behind in COVID-19 vaccine access compared with whites: The data raised new concerns about inequity in the troubled rollout of vaccines for those 65 and older and added pressure on county leaders to do a better job of getting communities of color immunized.
Only 7% of Black residents 65 and older have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, the lowest percentage of any racial and ethnic group and less than half the comparable figure for white senior residents. About 9% of Native American seniors and 14% of Latino seniors have received at least one dose. By contrast, 17% of white senior residents have received at least one shot, as have 18% of Asian American and 29% of Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander seniors. Los Angeles Times
There is no vaccine for arts organizations struggling to survive 11 months into a debilitating pandemic, but the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts is offering what it hopes will be an injection of relief for 18 L.A. arts groups.Los Angeles Times
House Democrats propose $1,400 payments in the first draft of a COVID-19 relief bill: The House Ways and Means Committee's draft measures would send $1,400 payments to individuals earning up to $75,000 or couples making $150,000. If approved, the bill would also send $1,400 payments to adult and child dependents in households that qualify. Los Angeles Times
Protesters threw rocks at Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg's home and repeatedly shouted his children's names in what Steinberg called an "attack" on his family and his community. Activists gathered at Steinberg's home on Saturday to protest the city's handling of homelessness during the pandemic. Sacramento Bee
"It's a showdown." California district attorneys battle over criminal justice reforms. George Gascón announced a slew of policy changes when he took the helm of the L.A. County district attorney's office in December. The news instigated a brawl among California's public prosecutors, with the organization representing 57 out of the state's 58 district attorneys questioning the legality and wisdom of Gascón's mandates. Now, many of the state's old guard of district attorneys are openly sparring with reformer colleagues in a power struggle that could shape criminal justice in California and other states.

Today's California memory comes from Gail Mathews
I woke up early on Feb. 9, 1971. Brushing my teeth in my parents' Granada Hills ranch house, thinking about classes I had that day at L.A. Pierce Jr. College, I suddenly panicked. An unearthly roar came out of nowhere, the walls were shaking, the tile floors looked like waves. I grabbed a doorframe and yelled, "Earthquake." My mother, brother and I stumbled down the hallway to the living room. The shaking seemed to last forever. Telephone service was interrupted. It was hours before we found out that my dad was safely at work in Burbank.

– could be the greatest 'superfoods', according to research done by scientists from Louisiana State University.
The cereal is low in sugar but packed with healthy fibre and plant compounds that combat heart disease and cancer.
Scientists found boosted levels of water-soluble anthocyanin antioxidants.
Anthocyanins provide the dark colours of many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and red peppers. They are what makes black rice 'black'.
Centuries ago black rice was known as 'Forbidden Rice' in ancient China because only nobles were allowed to eat it.
But food manufacturers could potentially use black rice bran or bran extracts to make breakfast cereals, beverages, cakes, biscuits and other foods healthier.
Varieties of rice that are black or purple in colour are healthier still.
Black rice could also be used to provide healthier, natural colourants. Studies linked some artificial colourants to cancer and behavioural problems in children.
In reality, it's unlikely there's a single food out there that will have a great impact on lowering your risk of heart disease.
Healthy eating is about a balanced diet overall.
It's great if you can eat more of some groups of healthy foods, like having five portions of fruit and veg a day, but there is still no conclusive evidence that 'super foods' alone make a real difference to your heart health. | {

When it happened, I didn't know I was part of a movement or that I was protesting anything. I just quit Facebook because it was an epic fail for me.
Reactions varied. When I told people that I had gotten rid of my social media account, the responses ranged from incredulous ("But everyone has Facebook!") to simply curious ("How do you stay in touch with people?"). One of my co-workers, though, told me that he was thinking of quitting, too, and he pointed me to some website where tons of people were pledging to quit Facebook with the same zeal and determination that drivers pledge to quit texting and driving. Huh.
Without knowing it, I had done something that's a bit of a trend.
Time is no longer a black hole. If anyone had asked me a year ago how much time I spent on Facebook, I would honestly have said "not much." Well, call me Pinocchio because it must have been a lot more than I had thought. Without Facebook, I suddenly have more time to hit the gym, get a little creative on date night, or even catch a few extra hours of sleep.
I'm suddenly doing real stuff. And it turns out that checking my iPhone for updates is not as much fun as hiking along the ocean, picking up a guitar, or going for a jog. Who would have guessed it?
My friends are suddenly real. There's a reason they call it FAKEBOOK. Once I quit, I never heard from some of my online friends again. Last week, though, some of my real friends showed up with wine and food for a cookout. Sharing stories over food and guitar? Yes, please.
I don't feel like crap. Ok, my life is pretty good, but Facebook sure is not designed to make you feel better. Looking at all those photos of everybody having an amazing, perfect life online makes me compare my life to theirs, and that's not something I need. Facebook is about as realistic as glossy tabloids. And I don't read them, either.
I worry less about social media fallout. Whenever I hear about someone who accidentally posted pants-less pictures of themselves online or lost a job because their Facebook was filled with pictures of them smoking up and giving the one-finger salute, I roll my eyes. It's 2014, how do we not know how to use social media without posting way too much information about ourselves? Still, with Facebook posts ending marriages, wrecking lawsuits, and losing people jobs, I don't want to take the risk. Now, I don't have to.
I don't want to jump on the bandwagon and quit all social media – or live in a cabin in the woods to get away from technology. I'm not penning a Luddite manifesto with a pen crafted from twigs. I'm just bringing a breath of fresh air into my life by getting rid of something that was a fail for me anyway. No more annoying updates, inane comments, or trying to get a picture just to post it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a life to go lead. | {

Matt's Unofficial Men's Team Minnesota...
Last Tuesday, Damon revealed his unofficial and unranked list of women that he believes would comprise this year's Team Minnesota. Here, in alphabetical order, are the men that Matt believes will comprise the 2022 Team Minnesota if official rosters are announced in the future: ...
Damon's Unofficial Team Minnesota Women's Picks...
Matt and Damon have posted their unofficial MMH choices, and are now debating whether to post unofficial Team Minnesota rosters, i.e. the Top 10 Minnesota male and female triathletes based on resume. Matt wants to rank athletes. Damon would prefer to simply list, in alpha order, the athletes who raced well enough to be included.
Damon worried that the shrinking number of Minnesota races plus post-pandemic attrition and the fact that several of our state's best triathletes did not meet the minimum volume (3 impressive performances) requirements would result in five-member teams. That list includes KORTNEY HAAG, SHYANNE MCGREGOR, DIANE HANKEE, KELLY TROM-NYGREN, NICOLE CUENO and SARA CARLSON on the women's side, and JOE ADRIAENS, KRIS SPOTH, JAKE KEEHAN, KARL NYGREN and KEVIN O'CONNOR for the men.
After some research, Damon was surprised that the list of potential Team Minnesota candidates is actually a rather lengthy one. Here are some of his observations about the 2022 women's team:
In alpha order, these are the ten women who, in his opinion, deserve berths: | {

Apple CEO Tim Cook "Deeply Offended" at BBC's Report On Factory Worker Abuse
Apple chief Tim Cook isn't all that happy with a BBC report alleging poor working conditions and the overall mistreatment of workers at its Chinese manufacturing facilities where popular devices like the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2 are made. The scathing report prompted Apple's Senior Vice President of Operations, Jeff Williams, to send out an email to about 5,000 staff members in the U.K. today saying that he and Cook were "deeply offended" by BBC's accusations.
The BBC report alleged a number of work place violations and poor conditions in general, such as employees falling asleep during 12 hours shifts on the iPhone 6 assembly line, and being repeatedly denied days off en route to working 18 days in a row.
Apple contends that the report is misleading, noting that it tracked the weekly hours of over one million workers in its supply chain. Furthermore, the Cupertino company says its suppliers achieved a 93 percent compliance with the 60-hour limit for working in a single week.
"We are aware of no other company doing as much as Apple to ensure fair and safe working conditions," Apple told the BBC. "We work with suppliers to address shortfalls, and we see continuous and significant improvement, but we know our work is never done."
Apple also claimed it's "very common practice" for workers to take naps during breaks.
Working conditions in China, and at Foxconn in particular, have come under media scrutiny the past few years following a rash of worker suicides. Foxconn vowed to improved conditions, with Apple holding the company's feet to the fire.

How to opt out of Amazon Sidewalk internet sharing, and what you need to know
Mike Peterson | Jun 09, 2021
Amazon is rolling out its Amazon Sidewalk system to customers in the U.S., and by default, you are opted in to its bandwidth sharing. Here's what you should know, and how to opt out of sharing your internet connection with your neighbors.
First announced in September 2019, Sidewalk is a new idea and long-term effort for extending the smart home to entire smart neighborhoods through the use of various local networking options.
As of Nov. 24, Amazon began sending off emails to Echo device owners letting them know that an update with Amazon Sidewalk will soon be rolling out. Though the system will take time to build out, the first steps are happening now.
With that in mind, here are some of the important points that users should know about Amazon Sidewalk.
What is Amazon Sidewalk?
Amazon Sidewalk is basically a new type of wireless network that makes smart home capabilities much longer-ranged. A Sidewalk Bridge connects to your Wi-Fi network, and essentially extends the connectivity range beyond what your router can output. In some cases, Amazon says this range could be half a mile.
It works by using various communication protocols, such as 900MHz radio signals and Bluetooth Low-Energy, for inter-device communications. The system will intelligently switch between these protocols depending on the range and power needed.
These Sidewalk networks work a bit differently than your home Wi-Fi, however. The bandwidth in a Sidewalk network is open for not just your own devices, but your neighbors', too. It's a bit like a local mesh network, but across a neighborhood.
Most Amazon device owners already have a Sidewalk Bridge in their homes. Recent Echo and Ring devices will soon receive over-the-air updates that will allow them work as bridges.
Benefits of Amazon Sidewalk
As mentioned earlier, one of the first and primary goals of Amazon Sidewalk is to extend the range of your smart home gadgets. What that looks like in practical terms could differ depending on your smart home setup.
A Sidewalk network could, as an example, ensure that outdoor security cameras or lights have a working connection even if they're far from your Wi-Fi router. It could also mean faster connectivity if a device connects to a nearby Sidewalk Bridge, instead of attempting to connect to a router farther away.
If you happen to drop a Tile device while walking around the neighborhood, it could still be within range of the local Sidewalk network — and it'll be able to connect to the appropriate servers using a neighbor's Sidewalk bandwidth.
Sidewalk will also make the onboarding of devices much quicker and simpler. And Amazon envisions other uses too, such as a pet safety service called Amazon Fetch that alerts users if their pet wanders outside of a preset perimeter.
Are there any downsides to Amazon Sidewalk?
For one, Sidewalk isn't a replacement for a home Wi-Fi network. The bandwidth available on a Sidewalk network is pretty small — Amazon says the maximum bandwidth is just 80Kbps, with a maximum cap at 500MB. As such, it's only really useful for low-power devices like smart locks, security sensors, and Tile trackers.
There are, of course, security and privacy concerns, too. If your dog has a Sidewalk-connected tag on its collar, it means that you may be sending Amazon the location, duration, and frequency of your every dog walks. Amazon does have a white paper that explains some of its Sidewalk-related security policies.
Of course, there's also the question of it being a shared network. Although Amazon says it will encrypt all traffic sent through a Sidewalk network, users won't know who is on a specific network or how much traffic their neighbor might be sending over it.
All in all, users will only be able to exercise marginal control over their local Sidewalk networks. There isn't currently a way for users to figure out which Sidewalk Bridge their compatible devices are connected to.
Can I opt out of Sidewalk?
The downsides and implications of Amazon Sidewalk wouldn't be as pressing if it weren't enabled by default. The system is opt-out instead of opt-in.
Once Amazon actually enables Sidewalk, users will see an information splash screen that explains what it is and what it does. There, they'll have the option to disable it — it'll be turned on by default.
Users will also be able to disable the local networking system through the Amazon Alexa app. The option is located in Settings > Account Settings > Amazon Sidewalk.
If users do disable Sidewalk, their devices won't be able to connect to their local neighborhood networks. On the flip side, neighbors won't be able to use their Sidewalk bandwidth, either.
Amazon will start opting users to the Sidewalk program on June 1, 2021. Users will need to opt out
Basically a glorified mesh network (across households) for Amazon devices (Echo, Ring). The NSA must be all lathered up...

Another way for Amazon to track and identify you. Groovy.
Funny how as the world gets 'smarter' it's also getting so much stupider. Fuck off Bezos.

Interesting to see this here today because I got an email from Amazon about this earlier.
Before everyone gets their skivvies is a twist, this is very likely an Amazon precursor to what Apple will do with AirTags. Amazon Sidewalk is all about providing a very low cost, low bandwidth, highly distributed, mesh network (using BTLE and 900 MHz) for locating and discovering identification tags and exchanging a few bits of data with simple sensors . It uses a small slice of each participants' WiFi bandwidth (1/40th with a hard monthly cap) as a backhaul to bridge sensor/tag data up to the cloud through your WAN connection. By meshing together all of the participants' data feeds they can achieve area wide coverage, i.e., several square miles.
There's nothing inherently nefarious about what Amazon is doing, and if you don't like it, don't use it. When Apple rolls out their wide area coverage for AirTags you'll be able to decide whether you trust Apple more than you trust Amazon, and sign up with Apple to help facilitate the same sort of service. Or not. Nobody has to do anything they are not comfortable doing. Until we have some sort of third-party or governmental infrastructure in place to support these kinds of services, companies like Amazon, Apple, and Amazon (and others) will try to utilize whatever connectivity opportunities are available to them. Amazon Sidewalk is just the first of the opportunists to hot the street, or should I say, the sidewalk.

All very true. The only thing I'd quibble with is that everything Amazon does is nefarious.

Time Warner's Time Inc. split set for June 6
by Brian Stelter @brianstelter May 8, 2014: 6:09 PM ET
Time Inc., owner of Sports Illustrated, People and other famous magazines, will split from CNN owner Time Warner on June 6.
Time Warner's spin-off of its publishing unit Time Inc. will take effect on June 6, when shares in the new company are distributed to investors.
The spin-off details were disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday. Shareholders who owned Time Warner (TWX) as of May 23 will receive new shares in Time Inc., which will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "TIME."
Time Warner, which is the parent company of CNN, first announced its intent to move the magazine publishing division into a separate company in March 2013.
Time Inc. owns famous titles like Time, People, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, and Entertainment Weekly. Along with 23 magazines in the United States, the company operates 45 Web sites.
CNNMoney is currently a joint venture of Time Inc. and CNN. On June 1, CNN will take full ownership of CNNMoney.
Related: Time Warner to sell HQ for $1.3 billion
Joe Ripp, who was appointed CEO of Time Inc. last year, said in a letter to shareholders on Thursday that "as an independent, publicly-traded company, we believe we can more effectively focus on our objectives and satisfy the strategic needs of our business."
The spin-off is the latest bit of restructuring done by Time Warner during the past few years. The company has also spun off online advertising company AOL (AOL) and Time Warner Cable (TWC).
After Time Inc. is on its own, Time Warner will have three main divisions, all focused on TV and film content: Turner Broadcasting, which includes CNN; HBO; and Warner Bros.
Time Warner's decision to exit publishing was partly driven by the challenges faced by the publishing industry as it tries to adapt to the digital age. And the risk assessment within Time Inc.'s SEC filing describes those challenges in detail.
"We are exposed to risks associated with the current challenging conditions in the magazine publishing industry," the filing states. "We have experienced declines in our print advertising revenues due to both shifts by advertisers from print to digital and weak domestic and global economic conditions, which have also adversely affected our circulation revenues."
Advertising and circulation are Time Inc.'s two main revenue sources.
Like many other online publishers, Time Inc. is trying to expand its Web video footprint, and last week it held a presentation for advertisers -- part of the so-called NewFronts in New York City -- to show off its video series.
Mark Ford, the publishing company's executive vice president of advertising sales, said the spin-off is "going to unlock the entrepreneurial spirit of Time Inc."

Dehydrated and dry skin is a very common condition. If you work or live in conditions where the environment can be drying, central heating or air conditioning for example can be as bad as harsh weather, you will be familiar with the taut and uncomfortable feeling of dry skin. Skin can also be affected by allergies, exposure to chemicals, and plain simple ageing. It is a hard working organ, and maintaining hydration and protecting skin is important.
Vegetable and plant waxes and oils are important ingredients for an effective moisturizing cream. They help the skin feel supple and smooth, relieving the pain and discomfort of dry, even cracked skin. Plainordinary Balm is highly effective in relieving parched skin, wherever it is needed. It has extraordinary moisturizing and soothing qualities, and is one balm that is hard to beat. It contains no irritants and can be used safely, even on babies.
Our Extraordinary Day Cream is an emulsion that should be used daily, to protect the skin against inflammation, irritation and the effects of time and stress. It is hypoallergenic and can be used on the most sensitive skin, even if you have eczema.
• If you are exposed to the sun, the Extraordinary Day Cream with SPF is the best choice. Both creams contain low allergen anti oxidants and anti inflammatories, Green Rooibos extract and Aloe Vera from South Africa, Co-enzyme Q10, MSM, and natural healthy grape seed oil, olive oil and shea butter for extra hydration and moisturizing action. The added SPF has cinnamates in it, and a small number of people may be sensitive to these, but the protection from the effects of UVA and UVB light makes it a safe bet to protect your skin from premature ageing.
At the end of the day, Extraordinary Night Cream is recommended to give your skin a deep and rich moisturizing boost. The natural anti inflammatory and anti oxidant activity of olive oil and grapeseed oil is enhanced by the addition of evening primrose oil, and avocado oil is added to the shea butter. It is rich but not greasy, and safely goes to work at night while you sleep, repairing and soothing your skin. Use it every night to smooth away fine lines, and keep your skin in great condition.
Dry skin around your eyes? Our eye gel was formulated with the help of one of the world's top opthalmic surgeons.
Moisturising Balm is simply the BEST moisturiser available. Non-greasy, and sinking in in seconds it leaves all skin softer and smoother.
Looking for a great cleanser and exfoliator combination? Look no further for simply effective care - no matter how sensitive your skin. Our Cleanser is simply the kindest available for you. Alkways use on delicate facial skin.
Use our wonderful natural Exfoliator to polish and buff your skin to a healthy tone. Frequency of use? Well, this depends on you personally - we suggest weekly for the most sensitive skin types.
We are often asked about toners. These usually contain solvents and detergents - and strip the waxes and oils from your skin. we would suggest these are avoided!
Eating a diet rich in fish or taking a fish oil supplement will ensure your body is getting the good fats it needs and in turn can help ease dry skin.
Eating healthy foods, rich in natural minerals and healthy oils such as fish oils and natural plant oils, is essential to all round vitality. Avoiding excessively rich and fatty foods, fast foods and too much alcohol is obvious. Smoking is a known major contributor to premature ageing. Sensible nutritional and lifestyle advice is important for your whole body, and that includes your skin – your largest organ. Anything that is bad for your health is bad for your skin.
Keep hydrated, by drinking sensible amounts of fluids.
Avoid using very hot water when taking a shower or bathing, as this may further irritate dry skin.
Avoid exposing your skin to strong detergents of any kind.
Treat your skin well to maintain a healthy radiance. | {

A new twist brings excitement to one of the state's premier regular-season cross country meets.
Cabell Midland will host its annual St. Mary's Medical Center XC Festival today, as more than 150 teams and 1,700 runners from across the Mountain State once again descend upon the state championship course. This year marks a change in schedule, with the first of eight races to begin in the evening at 6:30 p.m., rather than morning, and the final to start at 10:30 p.m.
Following consecutive years of intense race day heat and concerns for athlete safety, the Knights program opted to make the switch from a morning meet to evening, Parsons said.
Coaches who annually attend the race, like Doddridge County's Craig Kellar, welcomed the change.
To illuminate the course as the daylight fades, 13 diesel-powered light stands will be utilized, Parsons said.
The opportunity to race on the state meet course provides great incentive for teams from across the state to attend in order to learn the nuances of the course. That nighttime perspective will give runners a different look than championship day, though.
Last Saturday, Bridgeport's boys, two-time defending state champs, finished a single point behind second-ranked Class AAA University at the Charles Pointe-Indian Run Invitational.
While some teams like Bridgeport and Doddridge have run two meets this season, today's event marks the season opener for others like Midland and Hurricane.
The meet's tough competition will provide great opportunity for self-evaluation, particularly for the young Hurricane boys squad, Redskins coach Eric Cooper said.
With Hurricane listed at sixth, four of the state's top six AAA boys teams will attend today's meet. In girls AAA, No. 2 Hurricane ranks highest, with Winfield (fifth), Parkersburg South (sixth) and Parkersburg (eighth) also attending.
Eight top-10 Class AA-A boys teams will attend, including top-ranked Bridgeport and No. 8 Buffalo, which boasts the state's top individual runner in senior Hayden Harrison. Second-ranked Doddridge leads a class of five ranked AA-A girls teams at the meet in East Fairmont (fifth), Bridgeport (eighth), Wheeling Central (ninth) and North Marion (10th).
The quality field and change in format ensure plenty of excitement, Griffith said.
"We're looking forward to getting down to Midland and running the course," he said. "We always enjoy running down there. It's a beautiful course and Coach Parsons and his staff do a tremendous job. | {

I'd like to display a specific part of a routing result in a different color than the others. I thought this would be easy, but it seems that it's not.
I'm using the Directions Widget of the JS API, and the standard config allows me to define a symbol for the whole route or for the selected segment (which is a direction segment, not the whole part from one stop to the next). So I could look for the "esriDMTDepart" direction where my part starts, decode all the compressedGeometries until the next "esriDMTStop" and draw them manually on the map over the route that is being drawn anyway. This is a bit ugly, so I'm going one level deeper to the NAServer REST API.
The routing service is able to give back a Polyline route geometry (return routes = true), but as far as I can see, it is always one line for the whole route. It won't mark where the stops are or separate the route geometry into parts between the stops. Scott Sandusky, Matt Crowder: To my opinion, this is a missed chance, because the Polyline JSON object is an array of several line objects.
There is no way to quickly tell where the stops are located on the line that comes back, because the coordinates of polyline points and stop point don't match exactly. Manual search shows that they may match up to the 5th decimal digit or so, but not to the end.
I could try to develop an approximation method to determine where the stops are located on the route line, but I'm not sure if this would produce reliable results.. or send an extra HTTP call for the part of the route that I want to draw differently, but that's of course costly and redundant.
Am I missing something? Does anyone have a good idea what to do?
thanks for your reply. Actually no: I'm not trying to color single segments, but the whole part of a route between 2 stops.
Iterating through the segments (and looking for the "esriDMTDepart" direction where my part starts and "esriDMTStop" where it ends) is what I was talking about in the first paragraph of my description above. But then I still have to decode the compressedGeometries, combine all segments from one stop to the next and draw the line (in a different color) on top the graphic that is being drawn by the Directions Widget anyway. This should be invisible to the end user, so it is possible to do what I want with this approach, but from a development point of view, it's a bit ugly.
My thought was to use the uncompressed route geometry and draw the whole thing myself, but then I realized that only one line comes back for the whole route, even though the returned JSON object is a Polyline. So we get an array of lines that always contains only one line. I'm suggesting that this should be separated into sections between stops (or the segments as uncompressed geometry) by the naserver.
Anyway, I've handed in a idea and another idea. | {

Successful storytelling: Ditch your preconceptions and avoid tech for tech's sake
Ad Feature from Ogilvy & Mather Group UK
By Philip Ellis-12 May 2015 10:00am
"Far too often, we think we know better than our customers. It's time to stop following the stereotypes and really listen."
SapientNitro's Daniel Harvey
"Whatever the brief, it is crucial to find the human story behind that information," says Ros Gihan Williams, creative director at London Video Productions.
"Stories bring people together and bridge divides," Williams is adamant that this connection can be made regardless of the narrative, citing a corporate video she shot for a hair transplant company.
She and her team went into the project with certain ideas regarding the vanity of the entire endeavour, until one patient told her story; having lost her eyebrows through stress following bereavement, this operation was an important step in reclaiming her self-image. Williams' takeaway from this: "Never go in with preconceptions about the story you're trying to tell."
Understanding the 'silver economy'
Preconceptions and stereotypes also pose huge issues for brands hoping to reach a fast-growing, potentially lucrative market; the over-50s. 30 per cent of the UK's population is aged 50 or above, and this group holds more than 80 per cent of the country's wealth. More and more marketers are keen to harness the power of the 'silver economy', but still this demographic is sorely overlooked from a UX perspective.
These oversights can manifest in some morbid ways. For example, at present, you're pretty much guaranteed to find links to funeral planning on any 50+ insurance website. Reminding consumers of their infirmities is no way to win them over, says author Crispin Reed. "Why lump all over 50s together?" he asks, "You wouldn't treat 8 to 50 year-olds as all the same."
"Design for people and their passions," says Joo Teoh, managing director at Ampersand Mobile, "Not their age." The issue with tech brands approaching the 50+ market is that their target consumers are often generations behind when it comes to the devices and operating systems they are familiar with.
While younger generations might be more inclined to adopt newer devices for their own sake, 50+ consumers need first to know how it will enrich their lives. Should this matter, though? As Ampersand Mobile's chief technology officer Dean Adkins says, "good UX design is ageless". But while it is possible to achieve graceful design regressions across 3G, 2G and even WAP devices, this takes time, which client briefs and deadlines often don't allow.
Avoiding tech for tech's sake
Creative technologist Dirk van Ginkel points out that far too often, clients are tech-driven for all the wrong reasons; they want to force new technology into a project in order to generate buzz and be perceived as cutting edge. But if the technology and creative aren't compatible, this can result in a clunky, unpleasant and overall "gimmicky" user experience.
"User first, not tech first" is the motto at Unit9, where Ginkel and his team always endeavour to select the appropriate medium. Virtual reality and hi-tech installations can transport a consumer and add genuine value to a brand, but only when they are done right.
Ultimately, the medium and strategy with which we engage our consumers rely on an in-depth understanding of that consumer's life and interests. This is summed up rather neatly by SapientNitro's Daniel Harvey, who in his talk referenced cave paintings, where people created narratives out of their own memories: "Experiences inspire stories, which in turn inspire new experiences."

PUREGen Africa Launches PurXcel In Nigeria
PUREGen Africa, Nigeria, celebrates the approval and licensure of a new health-promoting technology, called PurXcel, by The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
PurXcel is a product that delivers clinically effective Tri-Active Technology (bioavailable Glutathione, Superoxide Dismutase, and Aloe Acemannan) in a proprietary blend of 18 complementary ingredients designed to help cleanse, balance and build the body at a cellular level.
These ingredients have clinically demonstrated significant improvements in overall health by supporting the body's ability to neutralize damaging free radicals and remove toxins.
PURE is committed to help Africans gain access to high-quality and highly effective products that can support optimal health. PurXcel is already available in the PUREGen Africa, Ghana market.
"There are positive testimonies coming from the Ghanaian people who have used the product and have experienced its tremendous benefits,"
said Fred Ansah, director of PUREGen Ghana.
"It has become a product of choice and is recommended by doctors and pharmacists here. With the massive impact PurXcel is having in Ghana, we know it will create a lot of attention in Nigeria as well."
PURE launched six products in the Nigeria market in August 2019. PURE Independent Business Owners and Preferred Customers can now purchase PurXcel from the Nigeria office. The Nigeria office offers free shipping of products throughout the country and also products can be picked up at several stockist locations across Nigeria.
People interested in learning more about the products by PURE and the opportunity in Nigeria can participate in seminars at Nigeria's main office on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The Nigeria office regularly hosts Super Saturday meetings and health symposiums/outreaches in different cities every week.

WARDROBE MALFUNCTION: WHEN FOOTBALL KITS GO WRONG!
Football kit should be easy; a bunch of grown men, professionals at the top of their field, show up and put on the same clothes as everyone else in the changing room.
But something has been in the air in 2011, as we've seen a swathe of shirty gaffes – now, we're rounding up some of our favourites to share with you!
Spanish striker Fernando Llorente perplexed football fans everywhere earlier this year as he took to the pitch for a Euro 2012 qualifier against Lithuania in an old version of the Spain home kit.
No explanation was ever given for the striker's decision to wear the outdated jersey – but we have to give Fernando some sympathy; Spain have had 3 new home kits in the last 18 months – we wouldn't know which one was the right one to wear either.
Messi, Soggy and Not at All Handsome.
Barcelona found themselves with an unconventional kit problem at the start of the 2011-12 season, as Catalonia was drenched by unexpected rainstorms.
The Camp Nou club filed a complaint with kit supplier Nike saying that their shirts wereabsorbing too much water during play, and slowing their players down!
Balotelli Gets Shirty with Italy.
Mario Balotelli is one of football's biggest characters, and even the most ardent of opposition fans seem to have to something of a soft spot for the Italian striker.
However, one thing even Super Mario couldn't get away with was wearing Italy's old Home kit on the debut of their new one. After starting the game in Puma's latest creation for the Azzurri, Balotelli emerged for half time in a friendly against Uruguay wearing the Italy kit from the World Cup in 2008.
It didn't take long for the big forward's cheeky kit-switch to be noticed, and was given his new shirt to finish the game in. We can image that Puma were probably not amused.
Experienced Ireland International Richard Dunne might well believe that he'd seen everything the beautiful game had to throw at him, until a collision during qualifier in Russia left the Dunne bleeding on his kit and in need of a new shirt.
With no spare printed shirts apparently in the kitbag, the Republic of Ireland's goalkeeping coach had to draw a number 5 onto the back of Dunne's shirt with a felt-tip pen. Tailored by Umbro and made bespoke by Sharpie.
The Eagle Has (Not) Landed!
Polish football fans were left spitting feathers after their FA instructed kit manufacturers Nike to leave off the iconic White Eagle that graces every National Team's uniform.
After boo's and chants of 'Bring Back the Eagle!' marred their first two friendlies in the new kit, Polish officials apologised to the fans for trying to 'modernise' the new kit too much, and instructed Nike to revise the design of the Euro 2012 host nation's jersey to include the legendary bird of prey.
and Finally… Nike's Number is up for England Rugby.
Switching sports, Nike were left slightly embarrassed during the Rugby World Cup as England's numbers began to peel off their shirts during the first game of their ultimately embarrassing campaign.
England's egg-chasers took on Argentina in their opening group game, and soon found the printing on their shirts was flaking off during play. Thankfully, Nike were able to fix this problem by the next game – but for the time England were in the tournament' afterwards, they might as well not have bothered!

Made me laugh. Nike is losing quality over the years.
I mean no disrespect, cause I love footyboots, but you guys need to proofread your articles before you post them up. | {

The Journey to the Surface of the Moon
Saturday, February 20, 2016 10:34:59 AM America/New_York
Astronomy and space exploration have always been an enigma. For thousands of years, human beings have attempted to understand the vast and diverse field, which was always characterized by studies and speculative theories. In the 50s and 60s, the United States was involved in a Cold War race with the then Soviet Union that saw the presidents of the two superpower countries involved in a bitter ideologies battle.
Amidst this fight, was also the race for space exploration, with USSR spearheading the race by sending artificial satellites into the orbit, as well as sending the first human being, Yuri Gagarin, into space in 1961. America was not to be left behind, as they sent Alan Shepherd soon after. After these events, research intensified as to the viability of man's travel to the lunar surface.
It was not until 1969, that plans to send man to the moon became actualized. Three men comprised of Neil Armstrong, Collins, and Buzz Aldrin, boarded the Apollo 11 on a successful mission to become the first human beings to land on the moon. The accomplishment managed to fulfill the then President's mandate (Kennedy) to have an American as the first individual in space.
The Mission was only possible through years of research and studies into the moon's atmosphere, and studies on craters and volcanoes to determine the level of safety for exploration.
Additionally, there were numerous collaborations with various scientists and geologists to gain a heightened understanding of the moon's landscape before the journey could be sanctioned. The voyage took almost four days, and it allowed the astronauts to collect various rock samples that facilitated an in-depth look into the moon's topography. The exploration paved the way for the future of space exploration with many more individuals attempting and successfully participating in a broad range of space discovery programs. | {

After a brief recovery period which saw Bitcoin almost hit $12,000, the cryptocurrency market is down again. Bitcoin dropped to just above $10,000, Ripple has also fallen just below the $1 mark. It's not just the top 10 that have suffered, almost the entire market has seen a dip in price.
It has been a rocky month for Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market thus far. Earlier this month, Bitcoin fell massively to below $10,000 going as low as $6000. During this period, the cryptocurrency market also fell below $300 billion market cap. However, the crypto market started recovering since last week and during this period the crypto market rapidly surged to a $500 billion market cap. Bitcoin also made its way past $10,000 and had almost hit the $12,000 mark.
However, the bullish run came to an end as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies saw a sharp decline in prices. At 06:34 UTC today, Bitcoin went below $10,000 as well. As of this writing, Bitcoin's current value stands at $10,095. Other cryptocurrencies such as Ripple, Litecoin etc. have also suffered.
Ripple recently added five new payment clients in four countries. Moreover, there have been reports that hint towards a future upgrade in Ripple's technology. Despite this, Ripple's fell below the $1 mark.
According to Nick Kirk, a quantitative developer and data scientist at Cypher Capital, a cryptocurrency trading firm, there was no particular reason for the recent decline.
However, there seems to be more to it because usually, prices of cryptocurrencies increase in value after news like the one for Ripple breaks out. Therefore, there has to be some sort of explanation for the sharp decline in prices.
The crypto decline follows a recent fraud crackdown by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC charged BitFund, a former crypto exchange for fraud. The exchange was accused of carrying out operations as an unregistered securities exchange and defrauded its users.
The recent crackdown brings uncertainty in the market whether exchanges people rely on are actually reliable or not. It could be a coincidence that prices fell following this news, as there have been other crackdowns as well that haven't affected the market at all.
Perhaps the most plausible reason which explains the recent downwards trend of cryptocurrencies is reports of crypto regulation being imposed in the UK.
Britain's Treasury Select Committee of lawmakers recently threatened to introduce new rules that would help regulate the highly risky and volatile cryptocurrency market. The cryptocurrency market is not a stranger to regulation. The first country to take steps against cryptocurrency was South Korea which is also taking steps towards banning cryptocurrency trading in their country altogether.
Other countries also followed in South Korea's footsteps and restricted the freedom the cryptocurrency market had been enjoying for a long time. Every time a country starts imposing restrictions, the crypto market goes down. Therefore, the most likely explanation for the recent crash would be the UK about to introduce regulatory measures against crypto.
'People are becoming increasingly aware of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, but they may not be aware that they are currently unregulated in the UK, and that there is no protection for individual investors,' said Nicky Morgan, chair of the Treasury Committee.
Recent developments may have lead to panic selling which drove prices down. However, nothing has been implemented yet. Advice from experts on cryptocurrencies will be taken before any action is taken. However, there is now a possibility of crypto regulation in the UK now.
Many people claim Bitcoin to be a failed currency. According to them, this is exactly why regulation is needed in order to 'protect' people from cryptocurrency. However, cryptocurrency has its benefits as well. Aside from its flaws, currencies such as Ripple, Litecoin etc. provide solutions to many real-world problems. Apart from that, many firms have come up with innovative ideas with crypto and the Blockchain network at the centre of everything.
Therefore, the British government will need to strike a balance between protecting the people as well as promoting firms that intend to use cryptocurrency in an innovative way. The regulation may bring the price down, but eventually, it will help flush the remaining investors out of the market who are only there to make profit instead of investing in cryptocurrency for its intended purposes.
Experts believe that 2018 could be the best year for cryptocurrency – Here's Why!

No. 6 seed Florida softball completes epic week to win 2019 SEC Tournament championship
Image Credit: ESPN Images
Entering the 2019 SEC Tournament as an underdog seeded sixth in the field, Florida Gators softball completed an epic week on Saturday night with a 2-1 win over the top-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide to win its second straight league tournament title and the fifth in program history. The five SEC Tournament titles for the Gators tie the most in conference history as Florida picked up its second-straight such crown.
It should come as no surprise that two of the best players in Gators softball history were key in the program's title-clinching victory.
Senior first baseman Amanda Lorenz (2/3, 2 RBI, BB) knocked in her team's lone runs in the top of the sixth when she smacked a two-out double just over third base and down the left-field line. Florida was just 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position on the evening, and Lorenz — who could end her career as the team's all-time leader in batting average and on-base percentage — came through in the clutch as she always seems to for UF.
Senior right-handed pitcher Kelly Barnhill may not have had a perfect night — her six walks were a sour note — but she struck out six, allowing just two hits and her lone earned run in 21 innings of SEC Tournament action as part of a complete-game victory. The win was No. 100 in Barnhill's career, and she earned it in spectacular fashion with a two-out strikeout to retire Alabama for good, her 24th over three games in this year's event.

None of this would have been possible for the Gators without the heroics of sophomore Jordan Matthews, who fueled Florida to a walk-off win in Game 1 of the SEC Tournament to complete the team's largest comeback since 2015. UF trailed South Carolina 4-0 entering the sixth inning and 5-2 entering the final frame. The Gators rallied to score four runs in the bottom of the seventh with Matthews' two-run double to left center allowing the team to advance.

Florida went on to blank LSU and Auburn in a pair of 3-0 victories before it took down Alabama, which swept the regular-season series in Gainesville, Florida, by a combined score of 12-2 in late April. The Gators actually entered the SEC Tournament just .500 (12-12) in SEC play despite being 28-3 against all other opponents on the season.
Now 44-15 with five straight victories, Florida should see a boost into the 2019 NCAA Tournament field from its No. 9 national ranking prior to the SEC Tournament. Once the field is announced, the Gators will surely host the Gainesville Regional and most likely be in line to host a Super Regional (should they advance) for the seventh straight season and 12th time in 13 years.

LAGOS (AFP) – A pregnant woman and a baby were among seven people killed after a residential building collapsed in Nigeria's most crowded city, Lagos, on Thursday.
Two other women and three men perished as a result of the collapse.
Another seven people were plucked from the rubble.
Officials said the collapse was caused by structural defects, a common problem in Lagos.
"Seven dead and seven rescued," said Ibrahim Farinloye, spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency.
Around 20 people lived in the building. All have been accounted for by the police.
The collapse occurred in the dense Ebute-Meta neighbourhood of the city of some 15 million people.
Such tragedies occur regularly in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, with building codes often not enforced and structures sometimes built haphazardly. | {

As most motorists know, the road can be a dangerous place with drivers facing a variety of hazards on a daily basis. It is vital for drivers to take as many steps as possible to enhance safety both in terms of the vehicle and the operation of the vehicle. There are various ways in which this can be done. For instance, regular servicing of the vehicle will ensure that problems are quickly identified and addresses. There are also various systems in place that can help to enhance driving safety, one of which is the Intelligent Driver Information System.
The Intelligent Driver Information System is also known simply as IDIS. The system was introduced to the world by car manufacturing giant Volvo in 2003, and it became the first generation of a management system based on interaction between the vehicle and the driver. This system was designed to serve a number of purposes in order to assist the driver and enhance safety.
What does IDIS actually do?
The basic function of this system is to provide continuous monitoring of the demands in relation to the driving situation at the time. It also schedules a variety of messages to keep the driver informed, which includes information relating to incoming text message or calls. This first generation system is a very basic one in the grand scheme of things, particularly given the technological advancements that have been made over the past decade. With this in mind, auto industry experts are keen to develop more advanced systems that will improve driver-vehicle interaction and provide greater benefits.
The system offers a range of additional features for drivers to benefit from. One of the key ones is the Collision Warning with Auto Brake. This is a valuable safety feature designed to reduce the risk of road traffic accidents. The system is designed to identify a possible collision and alert the driver so that the collision can be avoided or the severity of it reduced. It also offers Adaptive Cruise Control, which assists with the smooth-flow of traffic. It does this by adapting your vehicle speed in line with the speed of the vehicle in front.
In a nutshell, the Intelligent Driver Information System is designed to prioritize in-car information in line with the driving situation at any given time. It is an innovative system that can provide a range of benefits to improve safety and enhance driving. Many describe the system as an 'electronic secretary' because it even does things such as delay incoming calls and texts until you are in a safe and calm driving situation and can handle them without any risk.
There are two parts to the system, and this includes an information management section and a workload estimation section. Both of these sections combined help to provide what many have come to view as a very useful tool for drivers.
These are some of the key factors that the system looks at in order to assist the driver.
There are various benefits that come with the use of the Intelligent Driver Information System, but it is important to remember that these benefits are based not just on the system alone but on interaction between the driver and the vehicle. The system can only work efficiently if you are doing what you should be doing. For instance, it cannot use your indicator signals to assess your workload if you make a turn without actually putting the signal on.
Greater peace of mind: When you have a system in place that can help to reduce the risk of accidents and is able to enhance safety, you will naturally benefit from greater peace of mind. This is something that all drivers can benefit from, particularly given the huge range of hazards on the roads today.
Reduced risk of collisions: The intelligent system works hard to reduce the chances of a collision when you are on the road. It uses sensors and monitors distance in order to assess the situation and determine the likelihood of a collision. It then quickly alerts you so that you can take evasive action.
Helping you to avoid distractions: As many of us know, texts and calls coming in as we are driving can be distracting at the best of times. However, if they come in while we are trying to work through a tricky situation on the road, it could even lead to an accident. This system is able to keep distractions such as this at bay by accepting the calls and texts but delaying the alert to inform you until you are in a safer situation.
These are some of the main ways in which the Intelligent Driver Information System is able to help drivers and create safer roads.
So, put simply this is a system that can benefit drivers in a number of different ways. Of course, there are probably many drivers who feel that they don't need this type of system or that it will not provide any benefit. However, many people who have used this system will agree that it provides an effective means of reducing the risk of accidents and distractions while driving.
The importance of improving safety on the roads has become paramount, particularly given the level of traffic on the roads these days. Motorists can find themselves in difficult situations all the time, which can result in accidents, serious injuries, and even fatalities. Our passion for mobile technology has further increased the risk of accidents and distractions. However, the Intelligent Driver Information System could provide a great solution to reducing safety risks. | {

Half of troops see coronavirus as a major threat for the military: poll
Posted on 9 September 2020 by warpigapparel
About half of active-duty troops surveyed in the latest Military Times Poll believe the ongoing coronavirus pandemic represents a significant threat to military readiness and operations, but respondents were split over whether service leaders have done enough to respond to the problem.
Roughly 48 percent of service members who participated in the poll said they do not believe their chain of command has taken the appropriate steps to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Another 46 percent said they do have confidence in leadership's response.
The results, collected in partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University, comes as the United States enters its seventh month of quarantines and virus prevention efforts which have included significant changes in military life.
Military travel was nearly completely shut down for three months, duty station moves halted and worldwide operations severely curtailed in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus, which has claimed more than 893,000 lives around the globe.
To date, the Defense Department has reported more than 39,000 coronavirus cases among service members and an additional 17,000 cases among department civilian workers, military dependents and outside contractors. Seven service members have died from complications related to the illness.
Troops who participated in the poll had a more positive view of their peers' response to the pandemic than their leadership. About 48 percent said they believe that their fellow service members have taken appropriate steps to respond to the illness, versus 39 percent who felt they have not.
"Most are being cautious with good hygiene," wrote one anonymous respondent. "But some are trying to get back to normal living, resulting in additional exposures."

Complaints about peers included a lack of discipline in regards to social distancing and mask wearing, and an attitude that the virus threat was overblown. Unprompted, about 2 percent of troops who took part in the poll complained about media members overhyping the threat, submitting comments like "it is a political scam and the military is buying right into it."
Complaints about command, on the other hand, centered on inconsistent rules and poorly communicated changes.
"Every installation has its own procedures in place," wrote another respondent. "Since there isn't a unified front from the president down, everyone is reacting rather than being proactive. You still have formations failing to adhere to CDC guidance, no separations, no masks, still conducting (fitness tests) all against DOD guidance."
Another wrote that commanders "either need to be all in or all out on social distancing and the like" if they want troops to follow the instructions.
"If we are serious about flattening a curve, we wouldn't still be doing global rotations of forces and still moving people and families around the globe," the respondent wrote. "If we are not going to actually do a full global stop-movement and hold current deployed forces where they are, we need to quit faking a half-response."
Officers in the poll were significantly more likely to trust their command and their fellow service members for coronavirus response attitudes than enlisted troops.
About 61 percent of officers surveyed said they believe both military leadership and their military peers are taking appropriate steps towards virus prevention and spread. Only 41 percent of enlisted respondents said the same about their command, and 44 percent about their peers.
About one in four service members who responded to the Military Times Poll said the ongoing pandemic has made it less likely for them to remain in the ranks. Roughly 58 percent said the sickness would not have any impact on their re-enlistment plans.
But about 45 percent still labeled the ongoing virus as a significant threat to national security, putting it on par with foriegn Islamic jihadist groups (48 percent), white nationalism (48 percent), domestic terrorists (47 percent) and U.S. racial unrest (42 percent).
About 14 percent labeled the ongoing pandemic as a very significant threat to military operations and readiness, with another 35 percent calling it significant and 28 percent more labeling it moderate.
Only 6 percent of respondents said coronavirus presents no threat at all to military operations.
Between July 27 and Aug. 10, Military Times in collaboration with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University conducted a voluntary, confidential online survey of U.S. service members. Poll participants are readers of Military Times publications whose military status is verified through official Defense Department email addresses.
The survey included about 30 questions on service members' opinions related to the current political climate, policy and national security in the United States.
The survey received 1,018 responses from active-duty troops. The IVMF used standard methodology to weight the results according to the rank, gender and service branch of the actual U.S. military. The margin of error for most questions was less than 2 percent.
Like most studies where participation is voluntary, the poll's sample is subject to self-selection bias. Researchers sought to account for that and adhered to generally accepted scientific practices analyzing the data.
The survey audience was 93 percent male and 7 percent female. The respondents identified themselves as 82 percent white, 5 percent Hispanic, 6 percent African American, 2 percent Asian and 6 percent other ethnicities. Respondents were able to select more than one race.
The Military Times and the researchers at IVMF have used identical methodologies for this survey since 2016.

"This is how it is supposed to be", while a credible stance on many topics, doesn't really apply to Digital Marketing analytics & reports. Digital Marketing is still in a state of flux. As advertising & discovery platforms like Google Search, Google AdWords, Facebook Advertising change & evolve, metrics we rely upon also change, or get scrapped altogether.
These changes can be attributed to changes in the ways platforms like social networks, ad networks, affiliate networks etc. function, changes in security & user data retention policies, or simply because a newer metric has suddenly become accurately measurable and hence more reliable and effective.
Imagine a scenario where your ad is out there but you have no idea how many people actually saw it. With seemingly accurate Ad Impression statistics readily available, anybody would assume this simply doesn't apply to online advertising. Unfortunately, it very much does, and to an alarming degree.
An Impression is registered if 50% of an ad's pixels are in view on a screen for a minimum of one second – as defined by the Media Rating Council. As Google points out with this infographic, over 55% of Impression counts are in fact not actually viewed! And that's an alarmingly high rate when you're calculating RoI and campaign impact as an advertiser. This usually happens because the ad served is either 'below the fold', out of view, or because the ad loads in a background tab or popup.
Of course, in the absence of more accurate data, we still must take Impression metrics into consideration, but they must be discounted to a very high degree. So while this isn't a 'metric that needs to die', it does have to be looked upon with weighted skepticism.
Traffic source data has become increasingly unreliable. How much so? Luckily, Groupon did a study and shared their findings.
In their experiment, they saw that they lost 60% of their supposedly "direct" traffic when they deindexed their entire site for 6 hours.
This basically means 60% of their organic traffic was being classified as direct, rendering the reliance on traffic by source nearly irrelevant, since it simply was nowhere close to accurate.
This just goes to show how much SEO efforts can be disregarded by mistake. Looking at your Traffic Source data, you may feel SEO is irrelevant due to the high amount of direct traffic your site is receiving. In reality, most of that direct traffic is actually attributed to organic search engine results.
Segmentation reporting is downplaying SEO's role your content marketing efforts. Avoid relying on it and you'll find a much higher RoI than the data conveys.
Google Webmaster Tools have a lot of important features, but when it comes to keyword metrics, you better think again.
The numbers are simply not accurate, with deviations in the 100s of percentage points.
Simply compare the numbers you see on Google Webmasters with Google Analytics & Google Adwords, you'll find stark contrasts.
These numbers are only useful to identify trends and gauge scale, keep in mind that these metrics are just estimates and not actionable, accurate numbers.
A long time ago, you could create a Facebook page, get people to like it, and guarantee yourself spots on your followers' News Feeds with your posts & updates. Quality content stood a great chance of organically going viral. This was correlated to the number of page likes you had to begin with.
Under the pretext of clutter (higher volumes of content being generated), Facebook has become increasingly selective with the content it serves its users on their News Feeds. Unsurprisingly, this has meant that over time, sponsored (paid for) content has been gaining prominence. That's actually a bit of an understatement. Some reports & observations claim organic reach for business pages has been trending downwards so precariously that nowadays it lies somewhere close to 0! User engagement with organic content is less than 1% as well.
Of course, Page Likes still serves as a reliable indicator as to the maturity level of a page. Pages with likes in the millions will, in absolute terms, reach more people organically than pages with likes in the 100s or 1000s. But that really isn't saying much considering how they have, for all practical purposes, been 'phased out' over time.
Change is the only constant – This is a phrase which best suits this metric.
Various factors shoutingly suggest that Keyword rankings aren't as accurate as data will have you believe. Factors like results personalization, changes in the search algorithm, geo-location are the main factors, among others.
While PageRank was once considered reliable and accurate, it is no more so. Google themselves have slowly stop prioritizing their PageRank toolbar and by the time this post goes live, there's a good chance it would have been abolished altogether.
With so many changes taking place in Online Advertising, its execution & measurement, and the fact that marketers keep trying to game these numbers and platforms keep having to adopt counter-measures, many metrics, especially the ones listed above, have become increasingly unreliable. As a marketer, it has become increasingly important to be discerning in your evaluation & study of traffic data.
Evolve as industry standards & reliable metrics change, else you'll be trying, futilely, to optimize your marketing strategy based on faulty data. | {

West Ham vs Manchester United Match Prediction: December 5, 2020
December 4, 2020, 13:05
In this article, we preview West Ham vs Manchester United, the English Premier League match scheduled to be played at the London Stadium on 5 December 2020. After 10 match-weeks, West Ham find themselves placed 5th on the points table, while Manchester United are four rungs below them, placed 9th.
West Ham beat Aston Villa 2-1 in matchweek 10 to register three wins on the trot. Angelo Ogbonna's header put the home side ahead at the start of the first half. Jarrod Bowen scored soon after the interval. But the Hammers must consider themselves lucky to have won a game in which Aston Villa missed a penalty and had a goal ruled out by a fractional offside. Michail Antonio's return to the side in place of Sebastien Haller proved to be a winning move for West Ham with his pace and physicality on the off sowing panic in the Aston Villa defence. Ogbonna's opening goal came off a corner kick taken by Bowen. But a sudden change of fortunes came about when Grealish helped Villa draw level on 25 minutes. Another substitution at half-time — Benrahma in for Matsuaku — proved fortuitous for David Moyes's wards when early in the second half, Benrahma's chip into the box found Bowen who delivered the match-winning header.
In matchweek 10, Edinson Cavani came in as a substitute after the interval to help Manchester United pull off an incredible come-from-behind 3-2 win against Southampton. The Saints went 2-0 up in the first half, riding on goals from Bednarek and Ward-Prouse. United dominated the game from the start and the Saints scored twice from set-pieces, against the run of play. On 16 minutes, Fernandes came close to putting United in front when he hit the outside of the post with a deflected shot. After the interval, Cavani assisted Bruno Fernandes to reduce the deficit in the 59th minute. Soon after, the Uruguay international headed home a goal, converting Fernandes's cross to draw United level. In stoppage time, Cavani helped himself to one more goal-bound header, this time feeding off a cross from Rashford, to see Man United past the line.
Manchester United are odds-on favourites while West Ham attract bookie odds of 13/5. The odds offered on a drawn game are also 13/5.
Our prediction: West Ham 1: 1 Manchester United.
We are looking at two of the most in-form sides in the league this season. In our prediction, we have considered both West Ham's home advantage and their defensive frailties as evidenced against Aston Villa in matchweek 10.
Here's evidence of West Ham's form in recent matches:
Let's look at Manchester United's form in recent matches:
The head-to-head record between the sides in the Premier League is (28-7) in Manchester United's favour as per this chart. | {

Welcome to another day of MFT's august release countdown! Only a few more days until the brand new goodies are available in their store at 10pm on August 12th.
I mixed a slew of new product together to create this one card: batty about you stamp set and matching die-namics, the small checkerboard stencil, the trick or treat die-namics, and the tag talk die-namics.
First off, I covered the background with the batty about you sentiment, keeping it a little random looking. More spooky that way, no? Then, I used their new checkerboard stencil on an oval die-cut. I stenciled in some orange ink, then moved the stencil over and sponged on more ink in a slightly darker orange. I'm in love with this stencil!
Does the bat-girl look a bit different to you? I couldn't resist doodling some extra hair, although she looks super cute without bangs too. I love how we can customize stamps to look a little different! The star on her shirt is from another new set, geek is chic. I achieved the polka dots on her shirt by way of a colorless copic blender.
The tag was the perfect size to ground our little bat-girl. I die-cut the boo sentiment into the tag, colored it in the same purple as her star and placed it back into the tag.
I hope you like what I've created! Visit the MFT blog for a list of participating blogs today!
That is one beautiful bat! Loving the extras and your coloring style. Go girl!
These cards are so awesome; cute and pretty!
Such a cute card and such a cute stamp!!!
Hi Elena! LOve this little trick-or-treater!! Love the depth the two-color stenciling gave the oval. And, my new favorite background technique!
Great word background and oval mat.
Love this adorable card, and all the "special effects"!! The background and inlaid die are superb!!!
Very cute card. Love the background and your coloring.
:Like how you made the background papers.
I love your card, but I'm just plain in awe of how you used the stencil and made the background. You made it so dimensional with the darker shading on some of the squares! I'm going to have to add that stencil to my ever-growing list! Thanks for sharing!
So cute, Elena! I love how you used that stencil, and what a cool tiled background it made. Love your coloring too. These little PI girls are so much fun.
Another adorable MFTs Halloween card! I am loving these cards, they're so darn cute!
I just LOVE this card!! Absolutely adorable!! | {

I am away until the beginning of January. Wishing you all a happy New Year.
Will he be up to it?
Not sure how the Question Time purists will react to the news that Will Young is to appear as a guest on the show.
BBC producers swooped on the former Pop Idol winner after they heard him talking about his passion for politics on 5 Live radio.
But the move is likely to give die-hards of the show a shudder if it is anything like the performance of previous pop star Alex James from Blur.
James, who these days predominantly talks about cheese, was on the show earlier this year.
But his reputation as an intelligent popstar was dented somewhat when he appeared completely lost for words during some questions.
Then there was the Grayson Perry incident when tradtional viewers of the show objected to the fact that the artist turned up looking like Little Bo Peep.
Young will appear on the programme which comes from Dunstable on February 5th, hopefully showing he is not just a pretty face.
Will Young said: "As an avid viewer of Question Time being in the hot seat is something I've always wanted to do. As the day gets closer rest assured I'll be swotting up on the hot topics!"
Spare a thought for journalists at ITV Tyne Tees who have been told they cannot have collections or leaving presents for colleagues losing their jobs - because there are simply too many of them.
With more than 90 workers losing their jobs, bosses thought they would do their bit to lift morale by also saying they will not be paying for a Christmas party this year.
It has emerged that head of news at the ITV franchise has said for those leaving there should be no 'group cards' or collections and should leave 'informal arrangements' to individuals.
It said 'colleagues should not be presented with envelopes day after day' and pointed out that 'farewell gestures should be done on an individual basis'.
Nothing like a bit of seasonal good cheer to wash down the news of redundancies is there?
THEY complained in their thousands when the BBC cruelly pulled their favourite drama in favour of a Panorama.
Now it appears after all that outrage over the last minute cancellation of an episode of Little Dorrit over a week ago may have been a waste of time.
After 4,680 complaints about the BBC's scheduling antics many fans of the show are now admitting they don't have the faintest idea what the ending meant.
Many viewers are now rooting around for copies of the Dickens book to try and solve the riddle after they persevered with the show through thick and thin.
The series itself appears to have developed a dedicated fan base even though it was not considered a big hit in ratings terms.
This was shown when the BBC had to apologise to irate fans after it pulled an episode and replace it with a Panorama about the Shannon Matthews case.
The corporation has also had over a hundred complaints after it was revealed that it would be dropping Crufts next year following a stand-off with organisers.
PERHAPS one of the more bizarre complaints the BBC has received in recent months was published by the corporation's governing body today.
It received an angry letter from a viewer of TV quiz Eggheads who criticised the show for using the word 'Sioux' when referring to a tribe of North American Indians.
The incensed viewer alleged that the word 'Sioux' is a form of insult and means 'throat-cutters' in the language of the Cree, another tribe.
She instead claimed that the BBC should use the word Ogala as it was more culturally sensitive to the feelings of the group.
Clearly working herself up into a lather about the plight of indigenous peoples of North America the woman demanded an apology from the BBC.
As well as 'Sioux' the complainant insisted that the corporation dropped the word Eskimo, as this was also said to be a Cree insult.
The BBC was forced to consult its encyclopedias and dictionaries without finding any evidence that Sioux was offensive.
The corporation's own diversity department were called in as well as the Human Rights Commission but could not see what was wrong with the label.
Investigations by the broadcaster also revealed that even members of the tribe used the word to describe themselves.
So in the end the BBC politely told her it had done nothing wrong - but refrained from using a Cree insult.
Am I alone in thinking Carol Voderman was taking a little swipe at producers when she bade farewell to Countdown on her special tribute show One Last Consonant Please Carol?
It is no secret that she fell out with Granada big time when she quit the show, after they tried to give her a 90 per cent pay cut. So after a light-hearted romp through her wardrobe malfunctions and chats with pals from Dictionary Corner she appeared to issue a plea to protect the show's cosy style in the future.
Just before breaking down in tears she said: "I hope you agree with me, that what we have always wanted Countdown to be is always innocent and always kind and I just want to thank you for being our friends."
She appeared to be warning ratings hungry TV chiefs from dumbing-down the show or interfering with its cosy reputation. Some had raised eye-brows when occasionally smutty comic Alexander Armstrong was offered the job, although he did eventually turn it down.
There are also claims that C4 bosses want to make it a bit more edgy to try and revive flagging ratings it has suffered in recent years.
Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling was eventually given Des O'Connor's job as host, while a previously unknown maths whizz is replacing Carol.
During her farewell Carol thanked the two audiences most commonly associated with the show - old people and students. Let's see if they like the new team.
Is it just me or is Saturday Kitchen's resident wine expert Olly Smith the spitting image of the 'only gay in the village' character Dafydd from Little Britain?
While the striking similarity is quite disconcerting, it is perhaps true to say that Matt Lucas' comedy creation is nowhere near as over-the-top as Mr Smith.
Each week the wine expert appears on the BBC and treats us to a melange of extravagant facial expressions as he sniffs and quaffs his way around Oddbins.
Olly, henceforth known as 'the only wine-taster in the village', seems to have spent years perfecting the art of gurning his way through a glass of plonk.
While there is no doubt that he knows his vintage Chateauneuf-du-Pape from his Blue Nun, his theatrical style divides the show's fan base.
The wine-man famously grabbed the breasts of Anne Robinson when he appeared on The Weakest Link earlier this year after she asked him to. He then gave his appraisal that if she was a wine she would be a 'smooth, full-bodied, expensive red'. Undoubtedly one of the more troubling moments in the show's history.
As I am on the subject of Saturday Kitchen could producers not just ban all their guests from plugging things on the show.
The low-point of this particular practice happened some weeks ago when one of their celebrity guests jammed their new book onto the kitchen work surface as host James Martin tried to cook him a meal. A pretty desperate moment as far as I could see.
Can we have the old Len back?
One can only hope that Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman gets into some festive good cheer in the next few weeks after his recent grumpy displays on the show.
Fans of the programme have criticised his increasingly grouchy antics on the hit series and have claimed that his jet-lag from working on both the UK and US versions of the show is making him irritable and tetchy on the show.
On last week's show viewers were taken aback by the harshness of his comments toward Austin Healey and his dismissive attitude towards the other judges. Some have even called for his to consider his position if he can't cheer up a bit.
It can only be hoped that the Len of old will now be back with us as the American version of the show Dancing With The Stars has recently come to an end.
Goodman, 64, has been spending hours of his life on planes as he flies between London and LA each week.
He has been jetting out to the US every Sunday morning with Strictly co-star Bruno Tonioli to film the US show.
Before this series started he admitted he was struggling with the jet-lag and may quit the UK show so he can keep doing the lucrative US version.
But fans of the show have said he should either put a smile on his face or think about leaving.
One writing on the BBC's message-board: "Len is such a grouch now, he pulls faces whenever Craig gives a critique and he is becoming unbearable.
"If he can't hack the travelling then he should consider his position."
Another said: "Len is like a bear with a sore head at the moment - he is a right sulk."
To be honest being sat next to Arlene Philips as she reels out another pre-prepared and over the top comment on a dancer's capabilities, I think most would get a bit fed up. | {

As you'll no doubt know by now, I'm a huge Disney fan. I have always wanted to go on a Disney Cruise and I think it's a great way to introduce your partner to the Disney way of life, rather than throwing them into the middle of a theme park. There is also so many classes, clubs and activities for children on board, that you'll be able to get so much romantic time as a couple. Disney actually have their own island in the Caribbean, and you can only get on it via the Disney Cruise Line. They have huge BBQs, hammocks on the beach, walking trails, Disney shops and character meet and greets. Heaven for adults and kids alike! You can read about my trip to Disneyland in California here, if you want some more Disney magic to read.

Whether you need fabric screens or traditional aluminum retractable screens on you home in Lincoln, NH, we offer many high qulity options, and we have a long standing reputation for cutomer satisfaction!
Retractable screens have become the best way for homeowners in Lincoln, NH, and surrounding communities to spend time on their patios or decks, even when the weather isn't cooperating or the bugs are out in full force. These adaptable shade options can be used to turn your patio into a temporary space where family and guests can be together in comfort but still enjoy a view of the outdoors. You can even host a pool party and use retractable screens to shield your uncovered refreshments so you don't have to constantly be swatting the flies away.
A tailored fit – Screens that are made to fit the exact dimensions of the outdoor space that you wish to enclose will not only look better on your home, but will also perform more dependably than one-size-fits-all products.
A supreme fabric selection – The fabric we use for our retractable screens is available in an extensive variety of colors, plus multiple options for the weave. This means you can tailor your screens to meet your needs, whether those include shade from the sun while retaining your view, or maximum protection from insects, rain, and cold or hot air or maybe just privacy.
The most desirable accessories – You will be able to choose between easy manual operation to retract and lower your screens at will or motorized, push-button operation, which is also available with remote control options. Sunesta offers an assortment of other accessories as well.
No matter how you customize your retractable screens, they will come with our ultra-durable synthetic fabric that holds its color despite years of penetrating sunlight, plus extraordinary warranty protection for your investment. | {

Cape Gannet Bird
The Cape Gannet (Morus capensis) is an easily identified seabird because of its large size. It is part of the Gannet family: Sulidae. Cape Gannets resemble the Northern Gannets apart from the fact that the Northern Gannet is entirely white except for black wing tips.
The Cape Gannet total breeding population is around 150,000 birds, with 12% in Namibia, although numbers have declined on the Nambian Islands over the last fifty years, and 88% in South Africa. The largest colony of this large seabird is found on Malgas Island, South Africa.
The non-breeding range of Cape Gannets extends from the coastal waters off the Gulf of Guinea on the west coast of Africa, to Mozambique on the east coast. Cape Gannets seldom occur farther offshore than 100 kilometres, though records of birds more than 200 kilometres offshore exist for both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
Cape Gannet Characteristics
Cape Gannets can grow to be 33 – 37 inches (84 – 94 centimetres) in length and weigh around 5.7 pounds (2,600 grams). They have a wide wingspan which can measure 68 – 73 inches (171 – 185 centimetres).
Cape Gannets have a white plumage with black tails and black wing edges and wing tips. Their crowns and hind necks are yellow in colour and they have distinctive black line markings around their eyes and beak. Their bills (beaks) are pointed and are pale blue in colour. These snow-white seabirds have fine serrations close to the tip of their bills which help them catch fish and because they enter the water with such force, they have no external nostrils in which water could be forced into.
When diving for fish, these large sea birds can hit the water at speeds of around 40 – 120 kilometres per hour.
At first glance, it would be easy to mistake the Cape Gannet with the Galapagos Masked Booby Bird as they are quite similar in appearance with the black lines around the eyes and beak base not being so defined in the Booby Bird.
Cape Gannet Habitat
The Cape Gannet is strictly a marine bird. Within its normal range Cape Gannets are restricted to the continental shelf, at no more than 100 kilometres from the coast. Occasionally these large seabirds have been recorded on oceanic waters.
Cape Gannet Diet
Cape Gannets are fish eating birds like most seabirds, that plunge and dive from great heights into the ocean and grab their prey. They favour sardines and other shoaling pelagic fish such as Pilchards. They eat around 300 grams of fish per day.
Cape Gannet Behaviour
Cape Gannets are very powerful fliers who glide the air thermals frequently flapping to accelarate their flight. This technique of flap-gliding is a more energy consuming flying technique than the other dynamic souring that is used by other large seabirds, such as the Albatross. Cape Gannets are generally quiet at sea, however, when in colonies they will emit a rasping call 'arrag arrah'.
Cape Gannets are not strictly migratory birds and the majority will remain within 500 kilometres of their breeding site year round, with the possibility of some adult male Gannets continuing to use the breeding grounds as roosting sites throughout the non-breeding season.
Cape Gannets breed on only 6 islands off the coast of Nambia and South Africa.
Nambia, SA – Mercury Island, Ichaboe Island and Possession Island.
South Africa – Bird Island (Lambert's Bay), Bird Island (Algoa Bay) and Malgas Island.
Cape Gannets nest in large, dense colonies on flat or sloping islands.
Cape Gannet Reproduction
The Cape Gannet breeding season begins around August/September time and can last until the next April. Like most Gannets, males and females stay together over several breeding seasons. They build their nests out of droppings, with a few bones and feathers mixed in and other vegetation. Where matierials are scarce, eggs will be laid on bare ground.
Elaborate mating riturals are preformed at the nest whereby both male and female stretch their necks towards the sky and tap their bills together.
The female Cape Gannet typically lays a single egg around October, which is pale blue in colour which quickly becomes coated in brown guano. Both the male and female share incubation of the egg which lasts around 40 – 46 days.
Cape Gannets use their webbed feet in the incubation process whereby the foot webs are wrapped around the egg surrounding it with the heat from the rich blood vessels.
When born, the hatchling is a dark, mottled colour, blind, has no feathers and its beak is pale. The hatchling is very small and only weighs around 70 grams. It takes around three weeks for the juvenile to reach a third of the size of an adult Gannet which is quite a rapid growth.
At around eight weeks, the chick will weigh more than the adult Gannet and will remain this way until it becomes a fledgling at the age of 97 days old. The chick is cared for by both parents until this time and then it is able to go out to sea to forage for itself.
The life span of a Cape Gannet is around 17 years.
Cape Gannet Conservation Status
The Cape Gannet is listed a 'Vulnerable' as numbers have declined due to its small breeding range. Over exploitation of its prey by human fisheries, compounded by pollution, is causing a continuous decline in the quality of surrounding waters for foraging. The collaspe of the Nambian Sardine Fishery has been a main decline of the Nambian Gannet populations. Anchovies only temporarily and partially replace sardines in their diet when the latter becomes scarce. Other threats include predators such as the Great White Pelican who is a significant threat to Gannet chicks.
Conservation Help
In South Africa, Lambert's Bay and Bird Island are nature reserves and Malgas Island is within West Coast National Park. Bird Island now forms part of Addo Elephant National Park. In Namibia, the three breeding islands are administered by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources. All six islands have been identified as Important Bird Areas. Oiled birds are rehabilitated with success in South Africa, and the species is protected by law.

Two images of the west facade of the new Design Hub, RMIT. Do those discs really contain photovoltaic solar collectors? Do the discs really track the trajectory of the sun?
Every new public building, it seems, is a wonder of green efficiency, driving the bar of ecological innovation ever higher. Green buildings usually cost more up-front, but the pay-off is lower operating costs and lower emissions over the lifecycle of the building.
That's the theory anyway. The public sector is particularly susceptible to hype and extravagant boasts, so I don't take it for granted that every new building in (say) a hospital or university is necessarily as green as its owner contends. Nor do I assume that such buildings are always a cost-effective solution.
These sorts of issues naturally come to mind as I contemplate Melbourne's (and Australia's) latest green building, RMIT's new $60 million plus Design Hub, on the old CUB site at the corner of Swanston and Victoria streets (you can follow the construction sequence from 2009 through to January 2012 via the link).
No one would be in any doubt about the environmental aspirations of this (almost-completed) ten level building. It positively shouts Environmentally Sustainable Development (ESD) from its rooftop. It has the usual eco-attributes like water harvesting and waste recycling, but what distinguishes it – The Great Big Idea – is a second, outer 'wall' made up of thousands of translucent discs.
The inner wall – the windows – is all glass and presumably relatively straightforward, but the outer wall is clearly a special beast (more detail, with pics, here). I expect it was costly to construct and will present some challenges to maintain. However that's not necessarily a problem.
If the environmental benefits and the cost savings in energy for heating and air conditioning exceed the capital and maintenance costs – and if all that complexity means it gives a bigger pay-off then any of the alternative solutions – then the outer wall is justified. That's obviously extremely important for the credibility of a building that proudly shows off its environmental credentials.
But is the Design Hub everything it it claims to be? I've got my doubts. In particular, there are reasons to question how well the outer wall delivers environmentally.
Looking at RMIT's PR on the building, it's clear that, as constructed, it has no photovoltaic (PV) solar collectors at all (was it ever really intended it would have any?). So the ability of those discs to track the trajectory of the sun makes no contribution whatsoever to "powering the building".
In fact it appears the discs don't actually track the sun anyway. The PR material makes no mention of their ability to move. My understanding is the great majority of the discs are fixed, with only around a quarter – mainly those at eye level on each floor – able to be rotated. And even these can only be rotated on the horizontal axis. They can give the occupants a view out, but they can't track the sun effectively – that would require they rotate on both the horizontal and vertical axes.
Now if my understanding is correct the outer wall, notwithstanding the hype, is really just another routine sunshade. But standard sunshading is designed to allow the sun to warm the external walls in winter and keep it off it in summer. I can't see how the Design Hub's outer wall can perform both those functions – it seems to be neither fish nor fowl.
Moreover, I question the level of protection the discs offer the inner wall from the hot summer sun. The discs are circular, so there's necessarily a substantial unshaded space between them. Elementary geometry says that gap is 21% of the surface area of the facade.
Because the discs are located in cylinders about 150 mm deep, there shouldn't be a problem in the middle of the day when the sun is high. However it could be an issue in the morning and in the afternoon when the angle of the sun is lower.
I'm also really curious about the use of sandblasted glass in the discs. What's to stop the hot summer sun passing straight through the glass and on to the inner wall?
The PR material makes a virtue of the possibility that the glass in the discs can be replaced in the future with solar collectors. But it doesn't mention that retro-fitting is invariably a difficult and expensive exercise, especially on the exterior of a multi-storey building. Further, the cost of mechanising the discs would have to be factored in. Really, I think it's a stretch for RMIT to promote the building as having the capacity for solar technology to be incorporated into the discs.
So at the very least, I'm curious about how well the outer wall, as built, delivers in terms of energy efficiency. I'd like to hear from RMIT whether or not it's as technically efficient and as cost-effective as other, simpler solutions. Does it deliver bang for the buck, both as built and as originally envisaged?
I'd also like to know what detailed cost-benefit analyses RMIT undertook on the outer wall. And could RMIT please advise if the cost of ongoing maintenance was factored into the analysis, not least because this seems to be an area where universities in Australia often struggle for resources.
It seems the Design Hub's outer wall wants to be something it isn't and may have ended up doing neither very well. It would be unfortunate if it turns out the environmental performance of such a self-consciously ESD building is no better, or possibly even worse, than conventional solutions. I hope not.
As an aside, I also wonder how the building would have performed had all or most of the discs been fitted with moveable PV collectors swivelling on both axes – would it have been a cost-effective solution?
There are some other aspects of the Design Hub I want to discuss, but I'll have to leave them for another time.
UPDATE 11am Feb 9, 2012: RMIT modified its web site this morning to give a more accurate description of the outer wall. My comment at No. 7 below records some of the original wording. I've written a follow-up post, RMIT's Design Hub revisited: is green turning red? | {

As I related to my daughter the story behind the pink Depression glass cake plate that had been my parents', she remarked, "Mom, you need to write these stories down before they're forgotten."
This made me realize that many of our family stories surround our cooking and dining utensils, as well as pieces of furniture. They can stimulate our memories and lead to nostalgic tales and bits of family history to pass along to our children and grandchildren.
Make a list of items that played a role in your childhood, the early days of your marriage, your children's first years, and the times when grandchildren visited. Thinking of these items will stimulate memories of good times and challenging ones.
This pink Depression glass cake place, of cherry design, was a wedding gift my parents received in 1934. My mother told the story of opening the box and finding it seemingly full of chocolate covered cherries, one of my dad's favorite. His boyhood friend, Walter, knew of Father's fondness for these candies, so it didn't seem unusual that he'd give such a wedding gift.
However, as they ate the layers of candy, a pink cake plate appeared beneath them. This plate was used for birthdays throughout my childhood. When not in use, it was kept in the china closet with our "company" dishes.
I was delighted to find my mom still had the oval wooden chopping bowl when I had to move her from her home as she developed Alzheimer's. Although it's no longer in usable condition (cracks have appeared), it's a nice decorative and nostalgic piece.
I recall chopping cabbage and carrots in it so Mother could make cole slaw. She also mixed up potato salad there and other foods when she needed large amounts for our family of six.
This meat grinder, which attached to the kitchen table in our farmhouse, has more than food memories. When I was a child of about five years old, I was grinding beef for corned beef hash, when the grinder came loose from the table and fell on my bare toes.
It cut my big toe so badly that I still have a scare there, many, many years later. I had trouble walking for several days, with a large bandage on it, until the pain was gone. We continued to use the grinder, only making sure it was screwed very securely to the kitchen table from then on.
When I found some of the old canning jars in the cellar of my mom's home, it brought to mind those days before freezers. Our refrigerator had a small interior freezer section which contained ice cube trays, in which Mother occasionally made ice cream or sherbet. We did take some meat to the "locker" plant in the city 15 miles away and rented a freezer unit there.
However, the rest of our food for winter use was canned...fruit, meat, vegetables, pickles, jams and jellies. Throughout the summer, Mother and we girls, sometimes with the help of a neighbor lady, prepared food for canning.
Although we got tired of this hot work over the kitchen woodstove, we were all glad to have this preserved food come winter time. You didn't run to the store for your food as readily as we do these days.
Look over the cooking and dining utensils of your childhood, or even the ones you're using now, and write down the stories behind them.
As you tell the stories behind the dishes and cooking utensils, brainstorm about other memories. For instance, when I think of the birthday cakes served on the pink Depression glass cake plate, I can go on to record the stories of various birthday celebrations throughout the years...those of my childhood, my daughter's, my dad's 90th.
The thoughts of canning jars may lead me to remember occasions when those foods were served. Or of the time my husband acquired two bushels of pears from a family tree and decided we'd can them "like Mother used to do."
"You'll can them," I mentioned. "I did enough of that in my childhood."
So he and our teenaged daughter did, creating canning memories of their own.
Write or record on tape your family stories. Use the collectibles of days ago to stimulate your memories.
Mary Emma Allen has been writing cooking columns for 30 years and has compiled a family cookbook. She's now writing a book for her family of the memories surrounding the cooking and dining utensils from her childhood. Her many publications are listed on her Web site -- http://homepage.fcgnetworks.net/jetent/mea. | {

FAQ: What is the extension rate when using LongAmp™ Hot Start Taq 2X Master Mix?
We recommend 50 seconds per kb for maximum yields. Extension rates such as 30 seconds per kb can be used for targets up to 4 kb using a 3-step PCR protocol. Shorter extension rates, such as 15 seconds per kb, can be used for targets up to 2 kb using a 3-step PCR protocol on a fast PCR machine. | {

LONDON – Mike Woodson swears Rasheed Wallace will return this season but couldn't give an answer when. Wallace, out since Dec. 13th, will miss today's match vs. the team he won a title with, the Pistons.
He has a stress reaction in his left foot that Knicks doctors fear could turn into a stress fracture if he comes back too soon, according to sources. A stress fracture would likely end his season. A new report yesterday suggested the Knicks are getting more fearful he could be done.
But Woodson said yesterday he hasn't had any conversations with Knicks GM Glen Grunwald about signing a free agent such as Kenyon Martin. Wallace was scheduled to start running this week but that hasn't yet happened. Woodson originally thought Wallace was returning after the West Coast trip Jan. 1st. | {

Did you know that auto insurance or car insurance coverage has two parts? The first part is the liability section of the policy. It covers your financial responsibility for injuring others. The State of California requires everyone to have liability insurance. The second part of auto insurance covers the car itself and it's called comprehensive coverage and it reimburses you from losses from fire, theft or other perils. Collision coverage pays to repair losses that are caused by an accident. Often collision coverage is required by leasing companies or banks. There are also additional medical, car rental and other coverages that are optional and if you carry umbrella insurance it's important to be sure that you carry the minimum amount of basic liability insurance to avoid a gap in coverage for a serious accident.

This August will mark five years since my mother lost her 10 month battle with cancer. This disease has changed my family's life, and while I choose to focus mainly on life's positives, I still have my days of sadness when I come to the realization that my mother is not coming home. Losing her has taught me to value the moments I feel genuine joy and happiness, no matter how big or how small they may be. In the last five years I have graduated college, started my career, traveled around the U.S., coached ice hockey teams, and launched my own summer hockey clinic. I attribute my success to my ever supportive father and brother, and to my MeeMaw who's spirit lives on in me.
My mother's tenacious drive has prompted me to give back to the community that treated her illness, my fundraiser goal is to raise $2,000. Please help me in reaching this goal.
Each and every dollar raised stays within the communities that we serve, helping our friends, family members and co-corkers. TeamWalk funds make a difference in the lives of today's cancer patients by paying for medications, nutritional supplements, wigs and prostheses, support groups, skilled nursing visits, transportation, mini-grants, and supportive services to patients of all cancer types. Funds raised enable Lowell General Hospital to provide assistance, support, and services to help people feel better, build confidence and instill hope throughout their battle with cancer. | {

Following on from creating point markers along a line in PostGIS this post delves into 4D coordinates, PostGIS functions and rasters in PostGIS.
For the first one, we want to calculate the length along the spheroid, which is easy enough, but we can make it even more accurate by taking into account elevation as the route goes up and down hills.
That point is 15.74km along the marathon route and 7.5m above sea level.
We are going to update the Z (elevation) and M (measure) values of every vertex every time the geometry is edited and saved.
The function is a dynamic trigger function, which means it will run when a trigger is fired and work on any table that has a line geometry.
This trigger runs the update_ZM() function on each record that you add or edit. If you are editing in QGIS, this means as soon as you hit Save. | {

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Misery Continues
At the beginning of November, Yan Jin boarded the plane towards City H together with a few of his trusted aides.
Before the plane departed, Secretary Fang noticed that Yan Jin was still busy typing on his phone. A sense of crisis that could only be detected by a woman's sixth sense began to arise.
"Chairman Yan, it's best to switch off your mobile device now."
"Alright. I'll switch it off once I'm done with this sentence."
"May I ask what you are doing, Chairman Yan?" Secretary Fang tried to probe, not expecting that she would get a response from Yan Jin.
However, because of Yan Jin's pleasant mood at that moment, the chairman replied to her: "I got my friend to take care of my pet. Fishy can be a little playful, so my friend might have some problems dealing with him."
Secretary Fang rubbed her temples.
How can it be possible for Chairman Yan to keep any pets? I've never heard of that before. It must be that little vixen who enticed Chairman Yan to keep it!
When the plane stabilized later, Secretary Fang released this piece of information to the chat group and instantly caused a wave of people to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves.
By the way, the chat group's name was [24/7 Support Group for Chairman Yan].
"What kind of pet does Chairman Yan keep?"
"It's called Fishy, so it's most likely a cat."
"Seems like I should bring my kitty to work next time."
"Are you mad? The company rule states very clearly that pets are forbidden in the office. You don't want your bonus anymore?"
"If I get to date Chairman Yan, a one-month bonus is nothing."
And that was why on the first day back after Yan Jin had returned to YL when the Autumn Release Conference ended, he discovered a strange phenomenon. It seemed like during the time he was away from the company, there was a trend of employees bringing pets to the office. That caused many employees who were allergic to furs to suffer tremendously. The 'kind and understanding' Chairman Yan called for an emergency meeting, set up a room dedicated to pets, and established one day every month to be 'Pet's Day'. On that specific day, all employees could bring their pets to work on the condition that they must be placed in the pet room so that they would not affect other employees.
In addition, although rules were set by humans, every employee who broke the rule that day for bringing their pets to work had their one-month bonus deducted.
"Fishy, Fish bro, Master Fish." Chu Ge was almost kneeling on the ground as he begged: "Please be magnanimous. Let's take a shower and go eat, okay?"
Xiao Yu shook his head as he stepped on his bag of melon seeds, refusing to budge. He pointed at the words on his iPad:
"I don't want to bathe."
Two days ago, after seeking an opinion from Xiao Yu, Yan Jin told Chu Ge about his hamster's 'real identity'.
At that moment, Chu Ge's brain only had one thought – between him and Yan Jin, someone must visit the psychiatrist.
Then, the doctor saw this master hamster switch on the iPad that had once belonged to him and start tapping away.
At that moment, Chu Ge suddenly recalled something that had happened a very long time ago – he felt that the worst mistake that he had ever done in his life, was probably provoking that seemingly reserved 'good boy' Yan Jin when he was eight years old.
He was then doomed for this tragedy over the next twenty years.
"Squeakk!!" Why are you dazing out!?
Xiao Yu patted Chu Ge's sleeve discontentedly and received the doctor's resentful gaze.
Xiao Yu felt a little speechless.
Really? Didn't he accept my identity a few days ago? Aren't demons and supernatural things really common nowadays?
No imagination at all. Hn.
If Chu Ge had known Xiao Yu's thoughts, he probably would have taken a flight to City H and bawled in front of Yan Jin.
This was not about whether he had imagination or not! He was an atheist!
"Squeakk." Why is there a need to shower when I don't even leave the house?
When that sentence appeared on the iPad, Chu Ge actually agreed with it internally.
In the end, Chu Ge compromised with Xiao Yu on the bathing issue.
After all, aside from bathing, there were many other things to do. Before Yan Jin left, the chairman wrote an eight-page long list of things to note, neatly stating the arrangements for every single day. It was so detailed that it described what the hamster should be doing every twenty minutes. Chu Ge looked at the piled up papers and was deeply suspicious of whether Yan Jin's own working schedule was that packed.
Yan Jin would be away for seven days. The seven days' worth of scheduling took up seven pieces of paper. The last piece of paper only had one sentence – bear your own consequences.
What does he mean by 'bear your own consequences'?
Chu Ge pondered about it for a while and came up with countless possibilities.
For example, he must not reveal the hamster master's identity, otherwise bear his own consequences. Or maybe, take good care of the hamster master, otherwise bear his own consequences. Or perhaps, don't goof off, otherwise bear his own consequences.
This strategy that Yan Jin planned was well-played. An unclear way of threatening was more terrifying than holding a knife to his neck.
Xiao Yu watched Chu Ge daze out again. He decided to ignore the doctor and opened his QQ.
Nannan had finished the final drawing. The results were quite good. Although it could not be compared to the results if Xiao Yu were to draw on his own, from a non-professional perspective, it could be considered a beautiful piece of work.
Nannan deserved the biggest credit this time. No matter how it would turn out in the end, Xiao Yu had to thank him properly.
Speaking of that, when Xiao Yu contacted Nannan yesterday, he mentioned doubling the remuneration for every drawing. However, he was rejected by Nannan.
Nannan's original words were: "Oh Guru, I'm considered one of those people who lurks around the edge of this circle. I do have some knowledge about the market price of a drawing. Five hundred thousand is already more than enough. Plus, the guidance from Guru is what makes this deal priceless. In fact, it's perfectly okay even if you don't give me any money."
That reply was so well-said that it won everyone's hearts and moved Xiao Yu greatly.
And what was the truth?
Nan Wei looked at his childhood sweetheart very awkwardly and asked: "No matter how I reject him, Guru insists that he must pay me. What should I do with this money?"
"Immediately return it to Yan Jin." The childhood sweetheart replied without even lifting his head.
"That wouldn't work for sure." Nan Wei instantly overruled him and came up with his own solution: "Why don't I save up this money and use it as gift money at cousin's wedding?"
"If you dare to give a few hundred thousand as gift money, Yan Jin would surely chase you out on the spot."
"That's not the same. It's not the amount of money that matters." Even when Nan Wei was sneered at, he still felt that his idea was very feasible: "This money is proof of my future sister in-law's silent efforts for cousin. It has special meaning to it."
"…… If that's what you think, then why did you still ask me?"
"Tch. You're such a boring person."
A certain childhood sweetheart scoffed internally. They weren't sure what was going on with Yan Jin's side, but Nan Wei insisted on covering up the truth. He hoped that things would not go wrong afterwards or both sides would suffer.
In a certain sense, the childhood sweetheart was a man who had seen through everything in this incident. It was a pity that after years of being violently bullied by Nan Wei, he would not dare to say anything that opposed Nan Wei's views.
Nan Wei turned to look at the calendar and asked: "Speaking of which, the opening ceremony is starting soon. How's the voting for Ragnarok?"
When he was finally asked about something related to his profession, the childhood sweetheart promptly switched on his computer and showed Nan Wei the statistics that he had arranged: "I've been following it closely during this period. There's no problem at all for the voting and popularity rating. But I accidentally discovered that there was a work that's very similar to your Guru's design. His popularity rating wasn't low either, and it's also from SI…"
"Oh, that's nothing. It's very common to be plagiarized at such open competitions." Nan Wei did not think that such a small matter was a problem at all.
The other man was left with no choice but to swallow his conspiracy theory and continued to discuss the main issue.
"Yan Jin placed your Guru's drawing under the name of an unknown designer. I've investigated a bit and it turns out that this designer isn't even YL's employee. He's probably Yan Jin's friend. The consultant, however, is a senior employee at YL. Yan Jin was indeed thorough."
"As expected of my cousin." Nan Wei praised smoothly even though he wasn't sure where his cousin was being thorough.
As the website was scrolled further down, Nan Wei immediately noticed something important: "Ehh? The organization committee includes the Nan family?"
"I'm puzzled about that as well. There was no news about that previously."
"Haha! Even the Gods are helping me." Nan Wei said excitedly: "With the Nan family involved, it's such a minor thing to get things done under the table. The victory is in the bag."
The childhood sweetheart laughed: "Will the Nan family help Yan Jin?"
There were no permanent friendships in the business world. Moreover, problems had surfaced long ago between the Nan and Yan family's relationship. Now that the Nan family was declining, they were desperate to get Nan Chan to marry Yan Jin.
"That's impossible. It'll be a miracle if the Nan family doesn't create trouble." Even Nan Wei agreed with that: "We can't depend on the Nan family. But it's a different case if it's Nan Chan. Plus, I didn't say I'm helping Yan Jin. Cousin will figure it out on his own with YL's cooperate works. I'm just helping my own friend~"
The other man declined to comment as Nan Wei ignored him and excitedly went to make a call to Nan Chan.
Xiao Yu idled his time away on QQ as he waited for Yan Jin to poke him.
He could not make it to the Autumn Release Conference and he could not watch it live like how he had previously. Hence, he had no choice but to reluctantly wait at home for updates.
There would be updates and videos uploaded after the conference ended, but if he were to wait until then, it would all be too late.
Although he had become a hamster, Xiao Yu still hoped that he could be at the front line during the battle. It turned out that he did have a way to fulfil this far-reaching ambition of his – Fish and Hamster – You Can't Have Both.
Not too long ago, Yan Jin had contacted Xiao Yu through Fish and Hamster – You Can't Have Both. Apart from informing him about the situation with the Ragnarok competition, the chairman also asked about the exhibition product that Xiao Yu had prepared for the conference.
Apparently, after Chairman Yan had seen how Xiao Yu's work had gained popularity among the top few ranks, he was basically convinced that Fish and Hamster – You Can't Have Both's work would pass the voting round for Ragnarok.
In fact, Xiao Yu had received information much earlier than the chairman. Although his work was placed under the name of another person arranged by Yan Jin, the QQ account stated in the registration was his. Two days ago, the staff from the committee had already informed him that he had passed the voting round. They also invited him to be present for the Autumn Release Conference and offered the condition to undertake the costs of the airplane ticket, food and lodging.
Xiao Yu had obviously rejected to attend without any hesitation.
What a joke, is the honor and glory of the great demon meant for you peasants to admire?
In the end, Xiao Yu 'reluctantly' joined a private chat group under the staff's magnificent hospitality. Xiao Yu had been lurking in the chat group for a while. He could see that the chat group was full of amateur designers that had passed the voting round. Among them, there were many who hoped to use this competition to boost their careers.
Perhaps in that group chat, only Xiao Yu would be the salted fish that turned over¹.
When Yan Jin inquired about the exhibition item, Xiao Yu even kept him in suspense about it. Remembering that Yan Jin had not believed in him at all previously made the hamster unwilling to talk about it.
[Hn, it's a secret. You'll find out about it when the time comes.]
For some reason, seeing such a familiar tone made Yan Jin, who was on his way to the airport, suddenly think of his hamster.
I wonder how's Fishy doing. Is Chu Ge really going to be okay dealing with him?
Chairman Yan expressed that he was very worried.

An aspiring flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has called for the resignation of two top officers of the party.
According to him, the chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, and the general secretary of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, need to step aside.
This, he explained, is because they have compromised their positions and can therefore not be trusted.
"Obviously, these are people who have already declared support for a candidate, so on the basis of principles, it is fair that they step aside for a fair process," he said.
He went ahead to say that the executives are committing an illegality by deciding on a filing fee without consulting the council of elders.
One of the aspirants, Professor Joshua Alabi, has indicated the he may raise the GHC400,000 demanded by the party.
He revealed that he has been receiving calls from the grassroots in that respect, so he is ready to secure the funds to settle the filing fees. | {

This dress pattern is so adorable and feminine. It's not easy to get the gathered pattern on the bodice but you get the hang of it after going through this pattern. The bottom part of this dress is A line so it's perfect for most people. I would wear this to a wedding reception but make sure the colours blend in.
Definitely I love it, still new to sewing but you made me feel like a pro! Thank you.
Yet another totally feminine, pretty dress pattern, thank you! I am going to change the fabric and color choices to ones that appeal more to my tastes but the pattern is detailed and easy to follow so, even though it is rated Intermediate, I think I will be able to do it without any problems.
I love the 1950s shape of this dress. I'd love to make this with simple black and white I think you could wear it with a red lip and really make it pop.
Love your dresses but cannot decide which one,we are spoiled for choice.Thank you.
AHH I need to make this! These are my favorite colors!

Rose was raised on a pig farm for slaughter, but during a flood she was swept away and luckily washed onto shore. A nearby family took her in and raised her as a pet. But when she grew too big planned to send her to slaughter if they couldn't find a home for her. Thanks to Esther's army we were connected and were delighted to have her as our very first piggy. Rose will live a very happy, loved life here with us in Missouri. | {

In completing the Latino Board Leadership Academy you committed to learning on how to effectively volunteer your time in leadership roles as board members of nonprofits in the Silicon Valley.
Determine the type of organization that interests you.
Does the mission area interest you? Are you interested in a local or national organization?
What groups do you currently give money or volunteer for?
Mix and mingle with organizations.
To meet new nonprofits utilize resources such as the Nonprofit Board Match Night and LBLA Mixers that the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley offers.
In addition, utilize websites, such as, GuideStar and Center for Excellence in Nonprofits to locate nonprofits in your interest area.
Identify and reach out to either a board member or chief executive officer of the nonprofit.
I am interested in learning about [nonprofit name] and the possibility of serving on the [nonprofit name] board of directors.
I would love to set up a [meeting/phone] call to learn more.
Visit their headquarters, search their website, gather as much information as you can about what the nonprofit does.
Ask questions regarding the responsibility of actively making decisions on behalf of the organization. Learn about the loyalty and desire of the other nonprofit board members. Ask what at this moment does the nonprofit board desire in a new nonprofit board member.
Make sure that you understand the expectations the organization places on its board members. What are the fundraising and personal contribution responsibilities? What is the meeting attendance policy? How many committee assignments are you expected to accept?
2. Prepare to answer questions.
Recruitment is a two-way street. Effective boards are composed of various skills, talents, and perspectives and they often rely on their profile as a tool for recruitment. Boards can create their own profile matrix, which allows them to determine their present composition and evaluate their future needs.
Reach back out by email the next morning and the following week. This showcases genuine interest and enthusiasm for the position. | {

Q: Row replacement operation not changing the determinant Can someone prove why a row replacement operation does not change the determinant of a matrix?
**row replacement operation being adding one row to another or something of that sort
A: If you have a matrix $\mathrm A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and you replace its $i$-th row by a linear combination of the $n$ rows of $\mathrm A$, this corresponds to left-multiplying $\mathrm A$ by
$$\mathrm E := \mathrm I_n - \mathrm{e}_i \mathrm{e}_i^T + \mathrm{e}_i \mathrm{c}^T = \mathrm I_n + \mathrm{e}_i (\mathrm{c} - \mathrm{e}_i)^T$$
where $\mathrm{e}_i$ is a vector with $n-1$ zeros and with a one on the $i$-th entry, and the entries of $\mathrm{c}$ are the coefficients of the linear combination. Thus, the determinant of the new matrix is
$$\det (\mathrm E \mathrm A) = \det(\mathrm E) \cdot \det (\mathrm A)$$
Using Weinstein-Aronszajn determinant identity,
$$\det (\mathrm E) = \det (\mathrm I_n + \mathrm{e}_i (\mathrm{c} - \mathrm{e}_i)^T) = \det (1 + (\mathrm{c} - \mathrm{e}_i)^T \mathrm{e}_i) = 1 + (c_i - 1) = c_i$$
Hence, replacing a row by a linear combination of rows does change the determinant if the coefficient that multiplies the row being replaced is not $1$. For example, replacing a row by the same row multiplied by $2$ then doubles the determinant.
A: One way to think about it, using the property: $\det(AB)=\det(A)\det(B)$:
Adding a multiple of one row to another is equivalent to left multiplication by an elementary matrix.
Let $B$ be some $n\times n$ matrix, $A$ be an $n\times n$ elementary matrix which acts as an operator which adds $k$ copies of row $i$ to row $j$. So applying that same row operation to $B$ will result in the matrix $AB$. Then without a loss of generality, $A$ has the form:
$$\begin{bmatrix}1 & & & & & \\ & \ddots & & & & & \\ & & 1 & & & & \\ & & & \ddots & & & \\ & & k & & 1 & & \\ & & & & & \ddots & \\ & & & & & & 1\end{bmatrix}$$
where $a_{ji}=k$.
The determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of the diagonal. $A$ has a unit diagonal, so $\det(A)=1$.
Therefore, $$\det(AB)=\det(A)\det(B)=1\det(B)=\det(B).$$
A: Short explanation: It is true that if all the elements of a row are linear combinations of (two) other rows, then the determinant of that matrix is equal to a linear combination of (two) determinants. Even better, that works for a linear combination of any number of rows!
Because of this, it is also true that the common factor of a row of a determinant can be factored out of the determinant, which implies that if a row consists entirely of zeros, we factor the zero out, meaning that the determinant becomes zero.
*
*At last, let's take a row, multiply it by a certain number $\beta$ and add it to another row; we can see that the resulting row is a linear combination of (two) rows!
*Being so, the determinant is a linear combination of (two) determinants: the determinant of the first row we took, and the determinant of the second row we took multiplied by $\beta$.
*Note that we made the operation on our first row (the second one still remains unchanged), so there are two rows in the second determinant with the same elements (there are two identical rows).
*So we can make another operation on the second determinant (subtract those two identical rows) and make one of them zero, so it becomes zero. Then, even after the linear combination operation that we did, the determinant is still the same!
Long explanation:
THEOREM (Linear Property of Determinants). If all the elements of the jth colum of a determinant D are "linear combinations" of two columns of numbers, that is, if $$a_{ij} = \lambda b_i + \mu c_i$$ $(i=1,2,...,n)$, where $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are fixed numbers, then D is equal to a linear combination of two determinants: $$D = \lambda D_1+\mu D_2.$$ Here both determinants $D_1$ and $D_2$ have the same columns as the determinant D, except for the jth column; the jth column of $D_1$ consists of the numbers $b_i$, while the jth column of $D_2$ consists of the numbers $c_i$.
Proof: Use the definition of the determinant as the "algebraic sum of the $n!$ products of the form $a_{\alpha_1 1}a_{\alpha_2 2}...a_{\alpha_n n}$(*), each preceded by the sign determined by its inversions". Substitute the term $a_{\alpha_j j}$ for $(\lambda b_{\alpha_1} + \mu c_{\alpha_j})$ and use the distributive property.
Note: This linear property can easily be extended to the case where EVERY element of the jth column is a linear combination not of two terms but of any other numbers of terms. Then, if $a_{ij} = \lambda b_i + \mu c_i + ... + \tau f_i$, then $D_j(a_{ij} = D_j(\lambda b_i + \mu c_i + ... + \tau f_i) = \lambda D_j (b_i) + \mu D_j (c_i) +...+ \tau D_j (f_i)$
(*): any product of n elements which appear in different rows and different columns of the square matrix (a product containing just one element from each row and just one element from each column).
COROLLARY #1. Any common factor of a column of a determinant can be factored out of the determinant.
Proof: If $a_{ij} = \lambda b_i$, then $D_j(a_{ij}) = D_j(\lambda b_i) = \lambda D_j(b_i)$.
COROLLARY #2. If a column of a determinant consists entirely of zeros, then the determinant vanishes.
Proof:Since 0 is a common factor of the elements of one of the columns, we can factor it out of the determinant, obtaining $$D_j(0) = D_j(0.1) = 0.D_j(1) = 0.$$
THEOREM. The value of a determinant is not changed by adding the elements of one column multiplied by an arbitrary number to the corresponding elements of another column.
Proof:Suppose we add the kth column multiplied by the number $\lambda$ to the jth column $(k \neq j)$. The jth column of the resulting determinant consists of elements of the form $a_{ij} + \lambda a_{ik}$. By $D = \lambda D_1 + \mu D_2$, we have $$D_j (a_{ij} + \lambda a_{ik}) = D_j (a_{ij}) + \lambda D_j(a_{ik}).$$ The jth column of the second determinant consists of the elements a_{ik}, and hence is identical with the kth column. It follows from corollary #2 that $D_j(a_{ik} = 0$, so that $$D_j (a_{ij} + \lambda a_{ik}) = D_j (a_{ij}).$$
Because of the invariance of determinants under transposition, all these properties are valid for rows as well.
In the sense of the last theorem here stated, if you take a row, multiply it by zero and add another row to it, and do the same thing for that column you just added, you are, in essence, replacing two rows. Being so, the determinant leaves unchanged. If by row replacement operation you mean "adding one row to another or something of that sort", then the last theorem stated proves it.
Note: The theorems, corollaries and proofs were taken from the first chapter of the book "Linear Algebra", by Georgi E. Shilov (an intermediate proof-based book on multilinear algebra). http://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Dover-Books-Mathematics/dp/048663518X/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464396655&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=linear+algebra+shilob

When you hear about "chemistry" what do you think? Do you only think of chemistry as the affinity of two people together? Or maybe you understand it is the "study of matter and the how and why substances combine or separate." Some folks see chemistry as a necessity to create great food.
Food? Chemistry? What? Think about it…bread rises because of the reaction between leavening agents, cheese is made from proteins being broke down in milk by rennet and your burger tastes better due to the Maillard Reaction.
Maillard Tavern is a straightforward burger restaurant that shows how knowing the science behind the building blocks of a burger is more than knowing how to make a patty of meat…it is understanding that cooking is a measure of scientific precision and creativity.
The burgers have 2 4-ounce double patties (griddled to perfection), toasted potato buns and served with duck fat Norwis fries. With 8 options to choose from, there is enough diversity in options to please everyone at your table (including a vegetarian one called the Grassfed Burger).
I tried the eponymous burger, The Maillard with Crispy Onions, Bacon & Onion Jam, Cheddar, Pickles and Dijon mayo. (I loved that my burger didn't slide apart upon my first bite.) Other choices include A BLT burger, Pork & Beef, Classic, The Grand (bleu cheese, bbq sauce, onions) and El Jefe (Pickled Jalapeno, Chipotle mayo, Fried egg, Pepper Jack Cheese, Cilantro).
If you want a little extra luxury to your burger you have to try the City Slicker because with the beef patties it has a generous portion (1.5 ounces) of Foie Gras, Swiss Cheese, Black truffle pesto, Caramelized Onion, Foie gras mayo and Crispy Prosciutto!!!!
A little fun fact on the potato used for the French fries. The Norwis potato is the brainchild of the Frito Lays Company. They are more oblong and fleshier than your average spud. And besides having a really great intense "potato-y" flavor…they absorb less oil when fried producing a crisper almost greaseless fry. | {

E-Z Precalculus
Part of Barron's Easy Way
By Peter Eisen
Second Edition Trade Paperback
LIST PRICE £9.99
An experienced math teacher breaks down precalculus into a series of easy-to-follow lessons designed for self-teaching and rapid learning. The book features a generous number of step-by-step demonstration examples as well as numerous tables, graphs, and graphing-calculator-based approached. Major topics covered include: algebraic methods; functions and their graphs; complex numbers; polynomial and rational functions; exponential and logarithmic functions; trigonometry and polar coordinates; counting and probability; binomial theorem; calculus preview; and much more. Exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce key concepts while helping students monitor their progress.
Barron's continues its ongoing project of improving, updating, and giving contemporary new designs to its popular Easy Way books, now re-named Barron's E-Z Series. The new cover designs reflect the books' brand-new page layouts, which feature extensive two-color treatment, a fresh, modern typeface, and many more graphics. In addition to charts, graphs, and diagrams, the graphic features include instructive line illustrations, and where appropriate, amusing cartoons. Barron's E-Z books are self-teaching manuals designed to improve students' grades in many academic and practical subjects. In most cases, the skill level ranges between senior high school and college-101 standards. In addition to their self-teaching value, these books are also widely used as textbooks or textbook supplements in classroom settings. E-Z books review their subjects in detail and feature short quizzes and longer tests to help students gauge their learning progress. All exercises and tests come with answers. Subject heads and key phrases are set in a second color as an easy reference aid.

Q: Adding a new entry in dictionary reverts values of previously entered entries' attributes I'm having this issue where adding a new entry with a new key in a dictionary will revert the value of a previously changed attribute.
import list_territories as territories
class XmlGeneratorApp:
def __init__(self, parent=None):
self.territory_count = 1
def add_territories(self):
self.territory_count += 1
self.new_entry_name = str("territory%d" % self.territory_count)
self.new_entry = territories.Territories
territories.terr_dict[self.new_entry_name] = self.new_entry
def set_product_price_hd_check_2_false(self, territory_number):
self.territory_number = territory_number
territories.terr_dict["territory2"].product_price_hd_checks = False
Here's list_territories :
terr_dict = {}
class Territories(object):
def __init__(self,product_price_hd_checks):
self.product_price_hd_checks = product_price_hd_checks
If I call set_product_price_hd_check_2_false to set "territory2" it as False, then call add_territories, it will reset the value of the attribute terr_dict["territory2"].product_price_hd_checks to True. Same thing if I call add_territories to create multiple other instances (territory3,territory4,territory5,etc).
It only happens when adding a new entry to my dictionary.
Am I missing something? Is it a known issue that adding a new entry in a dictionary resets the values to init?

Ultimaker Debuts Ultimaker 2 3D Printer With Open Source Cura Software and YouMagine Website
Ultimaker is releasing its latest 3D printer, the Ultimaker 2, and the new machine features significant redesigns from the first iteration of the Ultimaker. The company says that the new version is more accurate, more efficient, and it's even quieter at 49dB.
Specifically, the Ultimaker 2 has a new CNC-milled case (that's all white with glowing sidewalls) with an OLED display, and its glass and aluminum build platform is designed to cool quickly so you can peel completed projects off more easily. The Ultimaker 2 can print with multiple materials, including PLA, ABS, and PVA, and it's WiFi-compatible so you can print from a mobile device or computer (so long as the printer is hooked up to something like a Raspberry Pi).
The machine itself is rather compact at 14.1 x 13.3 x 15.3 inches, and it can print objects within a 8.9 x 8.9 x 8.1 space.
Ultimaker is also launching its Cura open source software, which the company claims can pre-process 3D files some 60 times faster than other open source applications and makes it easy to load and work with 3D files.
In order to foster a community of makers around its 3D printers and software, Ultimaker developed the YouMagine.com website where you can upload and share files and let others build on existing designs; it supports native files as well as .STL files.
The Ultimaker 2 will retail for $2,500.

In the present day, immortal thousand-year-old Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) leads a travelling theatre troupe — including a sleight of hand expert, Anton (Andrew Garfield), and a dwarf, Percy (Verne Troyer) — that offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession. Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil (Tom Waits), who now comes to collect on the arrangement, targeting the doctor's daughter, Valentina (Lily Cole). The troupe, which is joined by a mysterious outsider named Tony (portrayed by Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell), embark through parallel worlds to rescue the girl. | {

Brain For Monster Truck tests your agility and mapping skills as you draw routes toward a flag then steer a monster truck along the path. The flag marks the finish line and you must navigate the truck all the way through, collecting all the stars along the path without dropping your cargo. But plan your route carefully: if the path you've drawn isn't smooth, you won't make it. | {

This is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the passengers of the ship from the moment they set sail: mysterious disappearances, sudden deaths. Now suspended in an eerie, unsettling twilight zone during the four days of the liner's illustrious maiden voyage, a number of the passengers - including millionaires Madeleine Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim, the maid Annie Hebbley and Mark Fletcher - are convinced that something sinister is going on . . . And then, as the world knows, disaster strikes.
Years later and the world is at war. And a survivor of that fateful night, Annie, is working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, now refitted as a hospital ship. Plagued by the demons of her doomed first and near fatal journey across the Atlantic, Annie comes across an unconscious soldier she recognises while doing her rounds. It is the young man Mark. And she is convinced that he did not - could not - have survived the sinking of the Titanic . . . ...more

Stories surrounding the sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage seem to have an eternal draw, and this one is no different. What does make this one slightly different from the rest however, is the fact that it weaves within it's storyline, a touch of the paranormal.

Using dual timelines, we follow Annie Hebbley, a stewardess serving the wealthiest passengers onboard the Titanic in 1912. Annie is fortunate enough to survive this great tragedy, and we follow her escapades some four years later as a nurse on Titanic's sister ship Britannic, which had been refitted as a hospital ship during WW1.
Annie had spent the intervening four years institutionalised in a Liverpool asylum, and we discover that she has many demons, both real and imagined.
The storyline is both compelling and dramatic, but I felt a little disappointed with the paranormal side of it - it just wasn't as creepy as I was expecting it to be. Nevertheless it was interesting to see just how popular the occult was as a pastime amongst the very wealthy during this period in history. Lots of characters are showcased, both real and fictional, though I'm not sure I really connected with any of them. Despite these issues, I did enjoy the storyline overall, but with some reservations.

Is something sinister haunting the Titanic? Four passengers (Madeline Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, Mark Fletcher and Annie Hebbley) believe something is haunting the ship. A series of strange events/occurrences and deaths have occurred since the Titanic set sail. Then of course there is the sinking of that great magnificent ship.
Annie Hebbley has survived the sinking of the Titanic and after receiving correspondence from Violet Jessop, another survivor of the Titanic, she agrees to work 3.5 stars
Annie Hebbley has survived the sinking of the Titanic and after receiving correspondence from Violet Jessop, another survivor of the Titanic, she agrees to work as a nurse on board the Britannic (the Titanic's sister ship). The Britannic is a hospital ship and during her duties, Annie recognizes a man. A man she thought had died on the Titanic. A man she feels drawn to, a man she has been thinking about...
Alma Katsu excels at blending history with the paranormal. If you have read her book The Hunger you will know what I mean. In this book she takes the sinking of both the Titanic and the Britannic to tell her story. She uses real life millionaires who died during the sinking of the Titanic (John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, W.T. Stead) and a woman who survived both the sinking of the Titanic and Britannic (Violet Jessop). She utilizes their stories to tell her own story about someone or something which is haunting the Titanic.
This was a carefully crafted tale of a haunting that plagued both ships. I enjoy books that use real life events in their telling. I found myself looking to Wikipedia to learn more and was shocked to learn that one-woman, Violet Jessop not only survived the sinking of both ships, but before that working on a ship which collided with another. Bad luck or one hell of a lucky woman. After the sinking of the Titanic, I would not have set foot on a ship again, but she did repeatedly. But enough about history....
In this book she is but a minor character who serves to connect Annie to both ships. This book is told in multiple timelines, giving various characters perspectives and back/current stories. The paranormal element is seamless and not overbearing. There are little clues along the way that I didn't really connect until I completed the book and looking back had "aha, that was a clue" realizations.
Alms Katsu has proven once again that she is a wonderful storyteller who can take tragic historical events and beautifully blend them with paranormal elements. Everything comes out in the end (as it often does) and I enjoyed this seaworthy tale. As the synopsis says, Katsu utilizes this book to show "how our choices can lead us inexorably toward our doom." It didn't quite have the bite for me that the Hunger did, but it was still satisfying.
I received a copy of this book from Penguin Group Putnam and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own. ...more

a couple years back, i read this author's horror-spin on the donner party tragedy, The Hunger. i loved her writing, and i thought the way she handled the historical details was excellent, but the horror elements seemed extraneous; they were fine, but they didn't really contribute much to the story, which is a bit of history horrifically gruesome enough without adding supernatural elements to it. this one, however, is a perfect melding of history and horror, and it's one of those books you just lose yourself in, blinking up out of bewilderingly when something in the real world startles you, like a bird dive-bombing you or the subway car suddenly going dark. both of which happened to me.
i snatched up this arc the moment i saw it, bewitched by that cover,
and knowing that, even if the horror element didn't wow me, her writing would be exceptional. going into this, i wasn't sure what shape that horror element would take; if this was a mermaid/siren situation or ghosties or some sort of sea monster, and i very much liked the not-knowing, so i'm gonna play coy in this review to give other readers the same discovery experience. i do think it's funny that i specifically referenced the titanic in my review for The Hunger, speaking about the various ways other authors have combined horror and history, and i will only say that this one is NOT a zombie situation.
the story shifts between two historical disasters at sea, tragedies linked by a woman unfortunate enough to have been a passenger on both the titanic in 1912 and its semblable-ship, the britannic in 1914, both of which SPOILER ALERT FOR NAUTICAL HISTORY came to bad ends; one doomed by iceberg, one by naval mines.
there are multiple POVs here, but the main focus is annie hebbley, a young irishwoman who had served as a maid to the wealthy passengers on the titanic's final voyage. she managed to escape the ship's sinking, but had no memory of her experiences on the titanic, nor of her life before the catastrophe, and she had been institutionalized in a liverpool asylum ever since. over time, her memories had begun to return, along with an irresistible compulsion to return to the sea. when she receives a letter from her friend violet—who had also served on and survived the titanic—entreating her to join her as a nurse on the titanic's sister ship, newly repurposed as a floating hospital for the war effort, she does not hesitate. me, i would hesitate. fool me once&etc, but annie is drawn to/by the sea and, once aboard the britannic, she encounters a wounded soldier whose face she remembers very well, indeed.
the action shifts between the titanic and the britannic, with katsu expertly manipulating several layers of cryptic plot-threads throughout, only some of which are supernatural. she does an excellent job prolonging the suspense on all fronts, even though the ending of the titanic storyline is a given, and it is a complex and rewarding read.
annie is the linchpin to the separate storylines, but the story is deliciously wide in scope, following the exploits of several passengers in its dual-ship/time period narrative, spooling out stories of the mostly-doomed, historically significant, passengers. there's an almost edith whartony dramatic sensibility at work, detailing the lives and problems and secret vices of the wealthy as well as those…less gem-encrusted, providing a sort of—whatever the floating version of 'upstairs downstairs' is called—dynamic, rich in intrigue and romance and social envy. and—oh, those boxers…
it was such a perfect book to read for spookymonth—the story is compelling, dramatic, and fairly fast-paced while still being detail-rich, and the horror elements are gracefully woven into a story of grief and guilt and survival and fate and love.
i'm going to risk quoting an overlong passage from the arc because it's a great example of her writing style: immersive, descriptive, and almost lulling in nature, as annie boards the britannic for the first time, fragile and disoriented by the sudden transition from asylum to the larger world, processing her still-returning memories while being further unsettled by the blurring of the two ships in her mind; the unsettling superimposition of their similarities and differences. and alla that.
She marches up the gangplank. Everyone is in a uniform, without exception, and these are serious uniforms, not the White Star Line livery that she's used to. The men wear drab olive wool, the nurses in sweeping blue skirts with capes over their shoulders against the chill, faces framed by wimples. Everyone is busy, intent on whatever it is they've been set to do. No one pays any attention to her.
Inside, it's even more different. She finds it hard to imagine this ship was ever like the Titanic, it's been changed so much, like a woman after childbirth—ragged and pale and vacant.
Inside, it could be any hospital. If you weren't near a porthole or door, you wouldn't know you were on a ship. Everything that made the Titanic sparkling and grand has been taken away. There are no deck chairs or card tables, no crystal chandeliers or wicker chaises. It is all antiseptic and uniform. Rows of cots for the patients, cupboards filled with supplies. And everywhere: bustle. Nurses supervise as men are loaded onto stretchers. Orderlies pass by with full stretchers, making their way to ambulances waiting on the dock below, then return with empty stretchers for the next lot. Some patients make their way on foot—arms in slings, heads wrapped, usually escorted by a nurse or orderly. There is as much commotion as on the Titanic's boarding day. Annie remembers the crush of humanity that had come up the gangplanks that day and instinctively takes a deep breath. So many people, it had felt like she was being swamped by a giant wave. Swamped and sucked under.
But these are no guests, only survivors, each wth a story tucked inside their bandages—wounds, pains, visions of shrapnel, explosions, and terrors she can't fathom. These are the half dead.
And the bustling staff have signed on to attend to them, to usher them either back to our world or into the one beyond. An altogether different kind of voyage.
phoar, right? a wonderful addition to the world of historical horror, and i'm ready to read what she does next! incidentally, if anyone has a working link to A Twitter ghost, send it my way? i'd like to read it as part of my december short story advent calendar project, but i can't seem to find it in its entirety, and i mistrust the one place i found that wants me to download some app-thingie because i am the kind of person who would NOT get back on a boat after surviving a watery disaster like the titanic. i do not court calamity.

A sense of connection drove me to this story and an intriguing supernatural twist had me hooked. I would bribe the author, publisher or NetGalley if necessary to get hold of this book before release. For the record that's how NetGalley works – the ARCs, not the bribery.

For years I worked in an office building just to the left of this photo and looked at this picture, as a poster, every day, never getting tired of it. The picture shows the Titanic and one of her sister ships, the Olympic, docked in Belfast in 1912.
The other sister ship was the Britannic, which was refitted as a hospital ship during WWI and also suffered a doomed voyage when it hit a German mine in the Mediterranean Sea and sank in 1916, leading to the stories that these liners were cursed.
Annie Hebbley is the main character in two timelines, firstly during her voyage as a maid on the RMS Titanic and secondly as a nurse on HMHS Britannic, and a survivor of both. While Annie is a fictional character in this novel, she is drawn in similar roles as her friend throughout, Violet Jessop. Violet Jessop was a real person who survived the sinking of both ships and was also on-board the Olympic when it encountered a major sinkable incident. The biographical story of Violet Jessop is an extremely interesting and fascinating one, and it was a very clever call from Alma Katsu to give her a place in this novel.
Alma Katsu is a wonderfully descriptive writer and weaves the fictional narrative of a story with the factual incidents and people of the time. The opulence of the Titanic and its wealthy passengers is really well portrayed along with their fascination with the Occult. The unique perspective Alma brings to this story is the threat of paranormal and demonic forces that are haunting the ships and threatening evil doings. Onboard the Britannic doors get locked and items go missing all without a valid explanation. The rumours start, that the ship is haunted, but then again it is war and the ship is filled with very sick often mentally hindered patients. What is unsettling for Annie is that she recognises an unconscious soldier as Mark Fletcher from the Titanic voyage but she believed he died when the ship sank. Mark was a first-class passenger with his wife and child but Annie had an infatuation with him and now he is alone and will finally belong to her.
Well, did I expect too much from this book? – Yes, I did. It didn't come alive as much as I hoped or spark the pervasive menacing atmosphere that suggestions of curses and hauntings would invoke. The anticipated drama of paranormal activity didn't really materialise and bring terror and fear, even with the Irish fascination of spirits and demons.
I enjoyed reading the book but just felt it lacked a strong storytelling plot, so I'll rate it 3.5 stars. I would recommend reading this book and it may appeal more to readers who haven't read, watched or visited as much about the Titanic story as I have. I would like to thank Bantam Press, Random House UK and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of the book in return for an honest review. ...more

The Written Review:
My dear daughter, Annie, disappeared unexpectedly from our home...My wife and I have been searching for her ever since.

Annie has spent the last four years living in a rather unconventional home.
Annie has come to understand the erratic ways of t
Annie has come to understand the erratic ways of the insane....But no, she is not one of them.
And when she's released, she finds herself drawn to somewhere she never thought possible.
No. Now is not the time to mourn. If she looks back too long, she knows what will happen...How the grief and the loss and the horror will be too much.
She's on the Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic, who traveled a doomed path across the Atlantic.
And back on it she is again...and this time she's not alone.
I pray that you will be able to end our nightmare...
There's something plaguing the ship. Something sinister and supernatural. Something only she is able to see.
Ahhhh... this one was solidly written, just the content threw me off.
I just never felt particularly connected to the characters.
Other than Annie, I didn't really enjoy most of them. They didn't feel vibrant to me and I couldn't get a good grasp on their personalities. I mostly got annoyed with their decision-making skills.
The plot just kind of happened. It was one of those winding plots where it meanders through the storyline without a ton of plot progress.
There were aspects that I enjoyed. The supernatural bit was intriguing but I was frustrated by the pacing.
Overall, this one wasn't just for me.

Sinister and atmospheric drama infused with real people and facts regarding the voyage of the Titanic and the last Voyage of the Britannic.

Sinister and atmospheric drama infused with real people and facts regarding the voyage of the Titanic and the last Voyage of the Britannic. This was similar in ways to the Titanic movie in that it included some of the actual people who were on the Titanic. The story includes supporting characters such as John Jacob Astor and his young pregnant wife Madeline, Benjamin Guggenheim and a lady friend, Lucy Duff Morgan, a famous fashion designer and her husband Cosmo, as well as two boxers "Dai" Bowen and Leslie Williams.
Most of these people are more than just bit players, though the main story revolves around a stewardess on the Titanic who later becomes a Nurse on the Britannic by the name of Annie Hebbley, and a young couple Mark and Caroline Fletcher and their Baby, Ondine. Annie leaves a sanitarium four years after surviving the sinking of the Titanic to board the Britannic as a Nurse at the request of her former cabin mate and fellow stewardess Violet. The Britannic, having been outfitted as a Hospital ship with the ability to carry thousands of men injured in the war.
The story is is told in multiple POV, by Annie and the others and the reader is shown the events on the Titanic in flashbacks as Annie is working on the hospital ship and especially after she discovers Mark Fletcher as a patient on the Britannic. Annie had been taken with Mark and his Baby Ondine from the first time they met on the Titanic and she worried about the baby.
Odd occurrences plagued the voyage of the Titanic, starting with Madeline Astor's young orphaned cabin boy, Teddy. The nine year old claims he heard singing from the sea and climbs the ships railing and nearly jumps into the sea, only to be pulled back at the last minute by the boxer, Dai. Some of the passengers decide to hold a séance that evening.
The séance happens and something eerie occurs, which may or may not have been an entity, depending on who you ask. The séance is broken up by a death on board. As the Titanic continues its' voyage other things seem to happen and it is unclear to the reader if it is something supernatural, some sort of cabin fever where a few of the passengers and crew seem like they are either going crazy or they have very overactive imaginations.
Though the first half of the book went a bit slow for my liking, the second half made up for it. The entire book was interesting and informative. I always seem to have this issue though with a lot of fantasy novels. I don't like the slow beginning, but then after reading the entire book, I think back and realize all the reasons for the slow beginning. In this case all the background is necessary to understand the story as a whole, but also I liked the fact that we didn't get too many occurrences so that we weren't really sure what was going on. Is there something supernatural happening or is it just in Annie's mind? Even she is unsure most of the time.
"I know firsthand how easy it is for this kind of thing to happen in a confined space with few distractions. Someone gives voice to a concern and before long, it's on everyone's lips. Paranoia is itself a kind of contagion."
The most interesting thing is the relationship between Annie and Mark. It is obvious she is interested in him. However, he is married and seems to be in love with his wife while they are on the Titanic. Throughout the book we learn more about Annie and her background as well as the Fletchers and how they came to be on the Titanic.
I don't like to give away any spoilers aside from background information that occurs in the first part of the books I read. So I will just say that most of the book was unpredictable and I was constantly surprised by what was happening and especially the way it ended. I did end up really enjoying the book overall. I would give this a rating of 4.5, due to originality, historical information, great characters and wonderful world building.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Deep blends historical events with supernatural occurrences to create an atmospheric, haunting and engaging story. The novel is told in dual timelines- 1912 aboard the Titanic and 1916 on her sister ship the Britannic. We follow Annie, a stewardess on the Titanic who is experiencing unexplainable circumstances and thinks she is being haunted. Years later we learn she has been in a mental hospital and doesn't remember what happened. She becomes a nurse on the Britannic and slowly her memories return.
From the very first page, you are transported to the titanic in all its lavishness and luxury, then to the Britannic, a more somber and conservative setting. The paranormal elements added another layer to the atmosphere, an unsettling feeling weaving through both storylines. I read this under blankets while it was storming outside, while listening to the Titanic soundtrack and that really elevated the experience.
"A ship so massive, and here we are, trapped on it, nowhere to run." She shivered "One is always trapped within oneself though"
Told in multiple perspectives, we see the voyages through through different eyes. From John and Madeline Astor- first class passengers, to Dai and Les- boxers and con-artists. In particular, I liked Dai and Les' storyline, and appreciated that Alma Katsu didn't take the cop-out excuse of a historical setting for not including diversity.
I have heard this book pitched as a horror story aboard the titanic, but I feel like that is slightly misleading. While there are some unnatural occurrences included, it was more atmospheric and unsettling than full horror. That led to the book dragging for me in some places, as I wasn't kept on the edge of my seat.
after the slow build up to the end, it felt quite rushed and anti-climactic. It was predictable, and let me down considerably after theorising for the whole book. Because surely that was just a red herring, and wasn't going to be it, right? wrong.
A largely slow paced, well written and atmospheric read- I would recommend this to someone looking to be immersed in a story with a hint of an unsettling feeling. However, if you are looking for a truely scary horror read- perhaps try elsewhere.

THE DEEP surprised me. It really did. I thought it was going to have a certain air about it, so I was surprised when it took a different turn.
This is the story about Annie Hebbley, who serendipitously finds herself on both the Titanic and its twin ship, The Britannic at different times in her life. The book opens with Annie as a resident in an asylum so we get a sense that there's some complexity to Annie that will unfold during the course of the novel. It was a powerful hook.
At some point, I felt my reader's heart getting bogged down in the drama aboard the Brittanic. Annie becomes entangled in the affairs of some of the passengers, and I felt myself longing for the chills & thrills.
And those did come, but not in the way I was expecting. So I'd like to use this opportunity to set some realistic expectations for readers:
The atmosphere between THE HUNGER and THE DEEP are in stark contrast. In THE HUNGER, I felt a real sense of raw grit and the challenges of survival. The threat was coming from among the characters, man vs. man but also from the environment, man vs. nature. The potential for danger created pretty heavy suspense.
In THE DEEP, there's an air of sophistication that detracted from that potential for real danger. I kept expecting Katsu to utilize the horror elements to turn the tables; like splash some blood on the crystal chandeliers and expensive gowns. But I think she quite masterfully employed a quieter, more realistic, supernatural approach.
This will appeal to a broader audience, I think.
For me, I'm going to say the same thing I said in my review of THE HUNGER, I wanted more teeth.
There's no question that Alma Katsu is a brilliant writer. I will read every book she pens. I will recommend this book to everyone--but for my die-hard horror fans, it will come with the caveat that this leans into the historical fiction and supernatural thriller genre, more than the horror.

The Titanic was indifferent to the humans crawling on its decks and would willingly sacrifice them to the sea."
I'm going to begin with some discoveries I made, whilst reading this book, that are unconnected with my review but fascinating all the same. Well, at least to me. The first discovery was that this featured a plethora of individuals who actually sailed upon the Titanic. Two of these were third-class boxers. A little research unearthed that these two boxers both resided no more than a mile from my home. I live in a quieter part of Wales and have never seen nor heard of my surroundings featuring in any books I have read so this was an unforeseen delight that immediately brought fresh sorrow. I felt some sort of connection to these men which made their eventual passing a more saddening affair than I had anticipated.
My later discovery, upon talking to my family about my research into this book, was that a recently deceased relative of mine actually worked for the infamous Mr Ismay, until right before his boarding of the fateful ship. My uncle's mother left her home at the age of thirteen and was employed into the household of Mr J. Bruce Ismay. Mr Ismay was most famed and ridiculed for first urging the ship to increase in speed and later of his fleeing the Titanic on the lifeboats reserved for women and children, in the guise of an elderly woman with a shawl wrapped around and covering his head.
These two discoveries might seem trivial but it made my connection and so my emotional attachment with this book that much stronger. Historical fiction, with its roots pressed deep into history, will always trump those with a more fleeting attachment, for me.
Onto my thoughts more connected with book's actual contents...
From the very moment I read the synopsis I was sold. It promised to feature "...an eerie, psychological twist on one of the world's most renowned tragedies, the sinking of the Titanic and the ill-fated sail of its sister ship, the Britannic." So, basically everything I could ever want in a book!
It delivered the necessary emotions that these tragedies required as well as a Gothic and suspenseful twist that felt entirely unprecedented. I would say that this did not horrify but the sinister turn of events did intrigue and ensured I had no idea of how this narrative shift would conclude. The multitude of perspectives were interwoven to provide a complete picture, which resulted in many tears shed from me and an unforgettable story delivered. ...more

I have always been fascinated by the Titanic story and I liked that the author included real passengers along with the fictional ones. The Irish folk tales were interesting too. It's not too far fetched to say that both ships were doomed by supernatural forces that are beyond our ken.

Therefore, I knew A LOT surrounding the tragedy before picking up this book, including the characters (who were real life passengers) that are aboard the RMS Titanic in this book. I've also watched the movie Titanic more times than I would ever like to admit but that's besides the point. Needless to say, I was STOKED to pick this up because of my interest and the fact that there is a supernatural twist in this story. And I'm not going to lie I thought this book was going to be a four star read but then the ending happened and here we are.
🔥 Slow burn story. For a good portion of this book it was all the right amounts of revealing just enough information to keep readers interested and wanting to continue the story without feeling too rushed or too slow. The keyword there is "good portion" though.
🕐 Dual timelines. I really liked that this was told from both the sailing of the Titanic and the Britannic, it made for a much more interesting story. If this was just told from Annie's POV while she was on the Britannic recalling the events that happened on the Titanic I don't think it would have nearly been as impactful.
🙅🏻♀️ Is Annie lying? So much of this book was spent wondering if you could trust anything Annie said or did. The book starts off with her getting released from a mental hospital and even though they deemed her "normal" and not needing help it was clear something was going on with her mentally and physically. I've always enjoyed books that have an unreliable narrator and I have to say even though this book didn't work out the best for me, this was one of the things I liked the most throughout this story.
What I Didn't Like
🧐 What just happened? 90% of this book was such a nice atmospheric read, with a slow burn type of pace that keep readers intrigued. But the last 10% was so incredibly rushed and all over the place that it felt like such a mess.
👨👩👧👦 What about everyone else? It truly bothered me that this book is told from multiple POV's and you only get a clear and concise ending for two of the characters. Obviously, not all of the characters are going to make it and while we do briefly learn the fate of a few who go down with the Titanic there are still a few characters whose fate we'll never know, and that honestly pissed me off.
🔮 Supernatural aspect. It was definitely a big disappointment that the one part of the story I was really looking forward to didn't work for me at all. I did enjoy the parts of the story where the characters felt an ominous presence on the Titanic but it never gave me that truly sinister sense. And I'm not going to lie I'm genuinely confused as to how this is considered horror.
🔚 The ending. No, no, no, no. I really HATED it. I think maybe it will work for others but for me it just felt like it didn't match the story at all, almost as if there were too many ideas packed into such a small amount of the book. I definitely didn't guess the plot twist at the end of the story but it felt so out of left field I don't really know how anyone could guess it. As for the overall ending of who lived and who died I was also not a fan unfortunately.

I am a fan of alternating timelines and THE DEEP utilized that format. It was sometimes a little jarring, (I mean this in the best of ways), because of how vividly it brought home the differences between the Titanic, (the luxurious ocean-liner catering to the best of the best), and the Britannic, which by 1916 had been converted into a hospital ship serving during WWI. Men facing sudden, life- changing amputations and injuries vs. the creme de la creme of society in their fancy suits and gowns. It's a sharp contrast.
The characters here are well drawn and there's nice variety too: Gay boxers/con-men, those that are obsessed with the spiritual world, degenerate gamblers and cheaters galore. In this way, the writing reminded me a lot of Edith Wharton's characters and settings, and also the characters of Charles Dickens. What a weird combination, right?
Behind all of these interesting characters lurks a bit of a mystery, and perhaps a supernatural one at that. A woman survives the sinking of the Titanic only to find herself on her sister ship a mere four years later. It's quite a different trip this time around but one is left wondering who was haunted here? The ships or the woman?
I'm not gonna lie, I went into this expecting a horror novel. I didn't get one. Turns out, that was okay because I got a fascinating historical fiction story instead. To be honest, as the tale progressed, I was more interested in the goings-on of both ships, than the lack of any real horror. (Other than the horrors of what happened on both of these boats.) To my unpracticed eye, the research seemed well done and like I said-the details of the daily lives of the passengers stole my heart and attention.
THE DEEP may not have been what I expected, but in the end, I think that made me love it all the more.

Annie had spent the intervening time period between the two voyages languishing in a mental asylum for conditions seemingly brought on by the enigmatic and deeply frightening voices and apparitions that frequented the decks of the Titanic enveloping them in an eerie calm.
Whilst I didn't feel this hit the heady heights of its accomplished predecessor The Hunger or will be enjoyed by the same wide audience there is no denying that this is a mesmerising gothic-tinged tale and one of the areas Katsu continues to excel at is creating a profoundly unsettling atmosphere. The amount of research the author has done in order to weave an authentic story is astonishing; I only wish all writers cared as much about how their book will be perceived. It's a tale ripe with engaging, complex characters, both real and imagined, and the writing tempts you into the narrative from early on and continues in a propulsive fashion for its entirety. You may be forgiven for believing the iceberg was the monster in the Titanic story but here a very different but no less dangerous beast lurks in the frigid waters.

THE DEEP combines fact with fiction in a reimagined story of the Titanic that sunk in 1912 and sister ship Britannia in 1916. There are some true life characters, a touch of folklore and the supernatural....an evil spirit that intends to cause harm, but nothing the least bit eerie that would classify it in the horror category (for me) aside from the truth behind the actual disasters.
The story follows one haunted survivor of Titanic through her service on the refitted Britannia hospital ship four
The story follows one haunted survivor of Titanic through her service on the refitted Britannia hospital ship four years later until its horrific end.
It alternates timelines between 1912 and 1916 which is not a problem, but I don't know....there was just something disconnected about the whole read (for me). I kept losing focus and interest despite my love of historical fiction concerning the Titanic....despite the curse, the seance, the blackmail and dalliances....despite the con-men, deceit and mystery behind it all. Perhaps THE DEEP just tried to do too much, again (for me). I really preferred Alma Katsu's THE HUNGER by comparison.

In this tale, a tale of the paranormal blended with reality, we follow the character Annie, as she experience things that go bump in the night, and eeriness. She has visions and in reality thinks she might be possessed and that there lurked an evil spirit walking the decks of both ships. Of course at the time, the occult was a topic that many of the well heeled passengers on the Titanic clung to, so it did fit the mood of many of the travelers to believe there was something out there.
There was much mention of spooky things, silkies, sirens, demons, and other creepy characters and yet I just couldn't gather up enough scariness to say this was a chilling and ominous story. I held my attention for the majority of the story but there were some holes in the telling and I sometimes found myself doing a bit of skimming.

Morbidly fascinating, ghostly, and spooky!
In the days leading up to that fateful day in April of 1912, the guests of the infamous luxury ocean liner, the Titanic, are being plagued by strange occurrences – cold spots, disappearing belongings, whispered voices emanating from the sea, overwhelming feelings of paranoia and suspicion, and sudden unexplained deaths. Is it a warning, an omem of death, or something even more monstrous?
Four years later, during WW1, a survivor of the sinking, works as a Morbidly fascinating, ghostly, and spooky!
Four years later, during WW1, a survivor of the sinking, works as a nurse on the Britannic (a fleet mate of the Titanic, with an eerily identical layout) which is being used as a hospital. There she encounters a patient who shouldn't be there. And unbeknownst to everyone on board, this voyage too will end in disaster.
Trapped at sea, isolated, alone, with no way off, haunted by an unseen presence – I could not have been more excited to read this. Not only that, the ship in question was the Titanic, which sold me on the idea even more. The writing had a surreal, hypnotic quality which suited the mystical storyline. Events alternated between the Britannic (1916) and the Titanic (1912), and Alma Katsu seamlessly wove historical fact and fiction. Post finishing, I went into research mode, as my knowledge of the Titanic was limited to the actual sinking rather than the names and backgrounds of the passengers, and I knew next to nothing about Britannic (bombed and sank by the Germans during the first world war). It surprised me how much of The Deep was based on real events, rather than the author's imagination. I'm glad I went in blind, and didn't do my research beforehand. Having said that, if you are a Titanic expert, I think there is still enough within the pages to satisfy, as the emphasis of the novel is on the paranormal.
There were instances where the plot felt somewhat disjointed, possibly due to the dreamlike prose, but it's only a small gripe. I had my suspicions regarding the supernatural happenings that proved to be correct, but that didn't distract from my overall enjoyment, and there was still a stockpile of unexpected revelations. The large cast of characters, and multiple POV's was a lot to take in, so read carefully. Those familiar with the history will likely find this easier, since some of the names will be known to them, but I didn't know who anyone was, and was able to keep track just fine.
I have a copy of The Hunger on my bookshelf, and if it's as absorbing and seductive as this one, then I'm in for another treat. All aboard!

This novel looks at events in 1912 and 1916, with Annie recalling events from that time. Author Alma Katsu has done much to recreate the passengers from Titanic, and to give the reader a real flavour of life on the ship. There are famous names – Guggenheim, Astor and Duff Cooper among them. However, this is not a straightforward re-telling. Seances and mysterious events combine with the later storyline of war and trauma, to create a fascinating novel, with a wonderful setting.
This would be an good choice for book groups, as there is much to discuss – Titanic is always fascinating and there is also the WWI theme to add interest, alongside the supernatural storyline. I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, for review.

Quotes from The Deep
"Paranoia is itself a kind of contagion. Humans are predisposed to it. I have long held that it is a learned behavior from our primitive ancestors, a defense mechanism. Cautious humans stay alive longer than incautious ones." — 2 likes
"Without Caroline, he had nothing. Without Caroline, he was nothing. Maybe this was the truest definition of love he'd ever experienced. Not the kind he'd experienced with Lillian, the kind that unhinged him, made him wild. But the kind that had the power to anchor and secure him, to make him become the man he ought to have been all along." — 0 likes | {

In the fall of 2014, Dave began to lose weight. Being diagnosed a few years earlier with Diabetes II, at first he thought it was part of the disease. However, other symptoms started to appear — pain under his rib cage, losing more weight, change in stools, etc. An appointment to the primary doctor in October had Dave and his wife, Wendy, asking a lot of questions. Dave asked the doctor if he had pancreatic cancer. The doctor assured him his bloodwork was good and his "sugar pills" just needed adjusting. We decided to make an appointment to see the endocrinologist for the second week of January. We changed his pills a number of times, but things kept sliding downhill.
Christmas rolled around and Dave continued to get sicker and sicker. We met with a different endocrinologist, who immediately put Dave on insulin. Bloodwork showed that his liver enzymes were way off. A CT scan showed a small tumor on the head of the pancreas. Within 3 days Dave was in surgery having a stent put into his bile duct as the tumor was pressing on the bile duct. By Saturday afternoon he was home but really not much better. Not to our knowledge, but the stent was misplaced and shut down his liver.
Monday morning his color was way off, so we returned to the surgeon's office for a series of tests. We were told if further surgery was indicated they would send us to the city, but they didn't seem to have the urgency we thought we needed. Dave said to me, "Wendy, they are looking at me like I am a dead man".
A medical friend told Dave that he needed "Dr. John Chabot" at Columbia. In the morning Dave called and we spoke with a lovely lady named Shenelle. We quickly faxed all of his medical records to her. A few hours later we received a call from the pancreatic center, to immediately bring Dave to the ER.
The ER was extremely busy and poor Dave hadn't eaten since earlier in the day. After waiting almost 24 hours, being seen by multiple providers, and waiting in a crowded hallway, we asked to meet with the head of nurses. We explained the situation and he got Dave on the MRI list.
After the MRI, Dave was placed as an "Add-on" for stent replacement which they hoped would be Thursday. When Dave came out of recovery, he was on the phone with the kids, and said he felt so good he could run around the block. He actually smiled at me, the first time in many days — again we felt hopeful.
That evening, back in our room, we met Dr. John Chabot. He told us Dave appeared operable as he had a small tumor on the pancreas, but also his gall bladder needed to come out. Dave would have a few rounds of chemo to shrink the tumor, undergo the whipple surgery, and then continue with chemo. Again, we felt HOPE.
Dave responded well to the chemo and so Dr. Chabot scheduled the surgery for March 10th, 2015. I am glad to say that the surgery was on Tuesday and by Saturday afternoon we were taking him home to recover. On March 27th our daughter Susan and her husband Adam welcomed our first grandchild. Named after his grandfather and uncle, David James, was born in Tennessee. He truly is a blessing in our lives. We travelled to see him after he was born and for his Christening — a wonderful and memorable day.
Unfortunately, Dave began to show late side effects from the chemo treatments. Dr. Saenger, our oncologist, and Dr. Cheryl Kunis, our nephrologist, worked together to come up with a plan. Dave was very ill and in our heart of hearts we didn't think he would survive. Prayers came from the west coast to the east coast – from south to north for us as they had throughout the entire journey. Slowly, Dave was better. When December came, along came bad news. Two small tumors returned and we needed to start a different chemo treatment. We again decided we were going to fight for his life.
Chemo continued and June 2016, scans were clean. We saw Dr. John Chabot on July 6th who told us the CT was good — he was encouraging. The next scan is scheduled for Sept. 21st.
We are truly blessed. So many people have sent cards, emails, and kept us in their prayers. Our dear friends have been walking and holding us up when things didn't always look so promising — we thank them for that. Our church, First Presbyterian Church, in Goshen, NY continues to uphold us. Dave continued to work throughout the entire ordeal, and continued as Secretary/Treasurer and volunteer of his fire company. We don't know what the future holds, but we have held onto HOPE and know that every day we are together is a gift to cherish. We continue to try to fight the good fight and to seek out any help we need. We can only thank everyone that has dealt with us at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia for their kindness and compassion.
If I have learned anything from the past 2 years, it is to listen to your body. Don't accept what you are told if you know in your heart you aren't getting the answers to your problems. Seek out other advice and don't be afraid to ask questions concerning your health. When you find out you have pancreatic cancer, as any catastrophic illness, your life does a 180 degree turn, never to be like it was before, for you and your loved ones.
Was I scared? Of course. When faced with a disease that can and still might take your life, you face every day in a different way. I have found that a second or even a third opinion is probably the best thing you can do for yourself. Sure, it is aggravating collecting your records, making appointments and seeing someone totally new, but in the long run it may be the answer you need. So many of our friends have faced similar situations and everyone seems to be afraid to travel to the "city", but we know that some of the Best of the Best are in these hospitals. They are on the cutting edge of cures and ways to extend life with quality.
We consider ourselves simple "country folk", living in "farming community". But we are lucky to be close to some of the world's outstanding hospitals. We found that by sharing your story you also find out things that worked for others in similar situations. There is always HOPE. Anyone who is negative around you needs to go. I continue to live life to the fullest. I plan to go hunting with my son this fall, go to a college football game and enjoy every day God gives me. I appreciate everyone who has listened, helped and been in my corner throughout this journey. Our family has a strong faith, we will continue to look to the future and know that there are many new things happening in the medical field that might help me in the future.
My doctors, Dr. Chabot, Dr. Kluger, Dr. Schrope, Dr. Saenger, Dr. Kunis, our med student Emma and the staff they have with them have all been outstanding. We thank our PA's, those who set appointments for us, do our vitals and anyone who has been on our team. I cannot thank them enough.
Always set goals and try to achieve them. Continue to look to the future. Our son was promoted to Naval Commander at the Washington D.C. Naval Yard early September this year. I lived to witness the ceremony and couldn't be prouder to have my family with me to celebrate his achievement. Thank you. | {
