A group of students from Rockledge High School in Brevard County briefly walked out of class Friday to show their support for the Second Amendment.
About 75 students, according to a head count by school administrators, walked onto the school's track carrying the American flag and signs that said "guns don't kill people, people kill people" and "I support the right to bear arms." The event lasted about 20 minutes and then students returned to class.
The demonstration was organized by Chloe Deaton, a sophomore, and Anna Delaney, a junior, who are part of Rockledge High's Criminal Justice and Legal Studies Academy.

Deaton — who was wearing a T-shirt that read, "my rights don't end where your feelings begin" — said the event was meant to clear misconceptions about the Second Amendment, not support or oppose any particular political stances.
After the playing of the national anthem and "God Bless America" over the loudspeakers, she told the group of students, "We were built on certain rights and that was one of the original rights, that we should have the right to bear arms."

Delaney read a quote from former President Ronald Reagan, who at a 1983 banquet for the National Rifle Association said, "The Constitution does not say that government shall decree the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution says '... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'"
The walkout comes after the National Student Walkout on March 14, when students from 2,800 schools across the United States walked out of class for 17 minutes to protest gun violence. That event came one month after the shooting at Parkland's Marjory Stone Douglas High School that left 17 dead.
At least 15 schools in Brevard had walkouts, including Rockledge High School, where students stood on the football field to form a heart.

Deaton said it was important to make sure other students' voices were heard. Some students who participated in Friday's Second Amendment walkout wore camouflage clothing and President Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats. They carried "don't tread on me" flags and black-and-blue-striped American flags that are often used to show support for law enforcement.
"It's all over the news right now that all students hate guns. I wanted to show that not all students feel that way," said Zachary Schneider, a junior at Rockledge.
Although organizers said the event was not endorsing any specific political beliefs, many students who participated said they do not support a new law that raised the legal age to purchase guns, and would support a marshal program to train and arm school staff to respond during an active shooter situation.

"I finally got old enough to buy my own ammunition and my own guns, and I lost it again," Schneider said, referring to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act.
The Safety Act, which was signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott in response to the shooting in Parkland, raised the legal age to purchase guns from a licensed dealer from 18 to 21; puts in place a three-day waiting period to purchase long rifles and other long guns; and bans the sale and possession of bump stocks, devices that make a semi-automatic weapon shoot nearly as fast as a fully automatic weapon.
The law also implements regulations to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill.

The Safety Act did not ban assault-style weapons, like the AR-15 Nikolas Cruz used to kill 14 students and three adults at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day, ignoring a call from some of the shooting's survivors.
Daniel Howard, a freshman, compared banning some types of guns to banning spoons because they make people fat, cars because they make people drive drunk or pencils because they make people misspell words.

Event organizers and participants said they were disappointed the student walkouts on March 14, marking a month since the Parkland shooting, turned political. Deaton said the original purpose of the student walkouts was to honor the victims of the shooting, but parents and social media warped the message to support gun control.
"In the beginning, it started as a memorial to the Parkland students. And that's how it should have stayed," Deaton said.
Walkouts in Washington, D.C., and the March for Our Lives event March 24 was organized by some of the Parkland students who survived the shooting.
Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg — Marjory Stoneman Douglas students who have become the face of the movement for safer schools and tighter gun laws — have specifically called for a ban on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.
Unlike many of the students who turned out to march across the Eau Gallie Causeway as part of the local March for Our Lives rally in Melbourne, students at the Second Amendment Rockledge walkout on Friday said they support implementing a marshal plan to train and arm school staff.

"If they (school staff) are capable, we should allow it. They're just going to tell us to hide during a school shooting?" John King, a junior, said in disbelief.
"I personally believe it's a good idea, as long as they're trained and have the knowledge," Delaney added.
More: Sheriff Ivey recommends arming Brevard school employees
Under the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, the state provided $67 million for local sheriff's offices to develop programs to provide training to school districts, if local school boards approve the program.
Before the law was passed,Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey proposed a similar program to the School Board that would train anonymous school employees who volunteer and allow them to carry a gun in a concealed holster on their hip. The School Board has not taken a stance on the proposal yet.
Vickie Hickey, principal of Rockledge High School, said the school treated Friday's event exactly like it treated the walkouts that took place March 14. She said both events were completely student-driven.

Jefferys Map of Yorkshire – 1771
Home Jefferys Map of Yorkshire – 1771
This map is at a scale of 1 inch to 1 mile. It was produced on 20 hand engraved copper plates. If all of the sheets were joined together the map would be eight feet high and ten feet wide. The map was produced in 1771 the year that Thomas Jefferys died. He was a well known and influential London engraver and map publisher. This map was surveyed by Joseph Hodskinson, Thomas Donald and John Ainslie. It is thought possible that Jefferys never set foot in Yorkshire although one of the most famous maps of the county bears his name.
The map is a beautiful example of engraving. The CD cover, shown above, is taken from one of the map vignettes.
The map also contains town plans of: Leeds, York, Sheffield, Hull, Rippon and Scarborough.

Did the Favre-Moss-Jets game live up to the hype? Well, it had all the ingredients of a Favre Classic: A stirring comeback effort ultimately undermined by a Favre pick-6.
Randy Moss caught a bomb for a TD -- although his most notable impact might have been drawing larger defensive attention from Percy Harvin, who showed how effective he can be when that happens.
But the Jets D ruined the "Favre-giveness" storyline: The Jets have staked their claim as the NFL's best team, and in the process gave Favre-haters another magical pick-6 ending.
Did Favre cry in front of his teammates about the Sterger distractions? You know: I'm actually not going to fault him on that one; it's been a pretty bad week for him. Obviously, there's a school of thought that you want your gunslinging QB to put up a strong face; it's probably an indicator of how badly he is taking this that he allegedly broke down in front of his teammates.
MLB Playoffs: Giants close out Braves, Bobby Cox's career. It's not like it matters; Philly is going to roll over either. Giants? OK. (It does set up a potential Halladay-Lincecum duel, which is as must-see as it gets in baseball.) As for Cox, it's next stop: Cooperstown.
Deion Branch back to the Patriots: Remains to be seen whether a few years away has made him better than the WR that Bill Belichick had no problems letting go. I doubt he has aged as well as Moss as a talent -- although I'm quite sure the teammates in the locker room will embrace him as a ring-winning alum.
Concussion Watch: Let's hope that the Packers don't rush Aaron Rodgers back onto the field. It feels insane that he would have a concussion on Sunday, then be back a week later.
BCS loves Boise? With one week to go until the first rankings come out, projections put Boise State at the top of the rankings, if they were published today. Good for Boise -- it should help their profile. That said: There's no way their flimsy schedule will let them stay there (unless other unbeaten contenders start losing, which could very well happen).
Oregon State's James Rodgers is done for the season (knee): That will really hurt the Beavers' chances at surging to a Pac-10 title after the early-season lessons from Boise and TCU. The win at Arizona (plus home-field advantage in the season-ending showdown with Oregon) showed that Oregon State had as good of a chance as anyone.
Julio Jones' broken-hand injury (even if he got it during the game and kept playing) is a lot less interesting now that Alabama has been proven mortal. Alabama could not throw a single pass vs. Ole Miss on Saturday and still win big.
Allen Iverson playing in Turkey? It's a shame that they couldn't (or didn't want to) find a place for him on the Heat. This isn't Kobe spending a post-retirement year playing in Italy; this is exile, of one of the NBA's greatest players.
Esquire named Minka Kelly the Sexiest Woman Alive, which has a tenuous connection to sports, because she used to be on "Friday Night Lights" and she is engaged to Derek Jeter. Has she even done anything in the past year besides make a cameo on FNL and get a ring from The Captain? She's off the radar, thus it's a lame choice. I'm not even sure why I'm talking about it.
The terrible majesty that is Minka Kelly has a recurring role as a autism therapist on NBC's Parenthood this season, and her existence may be tangible proof of some higher power.
She was also on Entourage for one episode.


Apparently China has been processing about half the world's waste until this year, and most of that waste is transported over the ocean in large container ships. Recycling plastic uses less energy and fossil fuels than producing virgin plastic, so some amount of fossil fuel is saved by recycling. But moving large ships across the ocean burns a lot of fuel, so some fossil fuel is used to support the recycling process.
tl;dr: No, shipping plastic waste to China for recycling does not offset the benefits, as it reduces the net energy savings by 3% or less.
PET (polyethylene terephthalate), used in polyester fibers, drink bottles, tote bags, furniture, etc.
HDPE (High-density polyethylene), used in bottles, playground equipment, plastic lumber, etc.
LDPE (Low-density polyethylene), used in plastic bags, six pack rings, tubing, etc.
PE is made from ethylene, which can be produced from either natural gas or crude oil. Since ethylene production also generates other useful products, the amount of oil or gas specifically used to produce PE is a bit tricky to track down. However based on the global production of ethylene, PE production uses less than 3% of global crude oil production, and less than 4% of global natural gas production.
More significant, and easier to track, is the amount of energy used in PE production.
A 2003 life cycle assessment from the University of Naples found that recycling of PE takes from 40 to 55 MJ per kg, while production from raw materials requires 77 to 80 MJ per kg. The difference is a savings of 22 to 40 megajoules (MJ) per kg (roughly 6 to 11 kWh/kg). This study is specific to Italy, and unfortunately the details are behind a paywall.
In 2010 the American Chemistry Council (ACC), the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers (APR), the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR), and the PET Resin Association (PETRA) funded a life cycle analysis of PET and HDPE recycling. The study is available here: "Life Cycle Inventory of 100% Postconsumer HDPE and PET Recycled Resin from Postconsumer Containers and Packaging".
The report provides the following data on energy use of recycled vs "virgin" plastic production. These figures are for the U.S., and include the energy used to collect, transport, and process the plastic after its first use.
Raw HDPE takes 35.8 MMBtu per 1,000 lbs (23 kWh/kg), while recycled HDPE requires 3.87 to 4.24 MMBtu per 1,000 lbs (2.5 to 2.7 kWh/kg), depending on whether collection is allocated by weight or volume. This is a savings of roughly 20 kWh/kg.
Raw PET takes 31.9 MMBtu per 1,000 lbs (20.6 kWh/kg), while recycled PET requires 5.18 to 5.45 MMBtu per 1,000 lbs (3.3 to 3.5 kWh/kg). This is a savings of roughly 17 kWh/kg.
Assuming an average speed of 15 knots, energy usage is between 0.004 and 0.008 kWh per nautical mile per tonne (kWh/n.m./DWT) for larger classes of ships (source).
Depending on the ports and route, shipping from the US to China involves a journey of 6,000 to 11,000 nautical miles.
Thus shipping plastic from the U.S. to China will require from 24 to 88 kWh/tonne.
The specific energy savings from PE recycling depends on the type of PE and the allocation method used (whether by weight or volume).
This value depends on the vessel, speed, and route between the U.S. and China.
In the worst-case scenario (including shipping the plastic back to the U.S.), shipping plastic for recycling reduces the energy savings by 2.9% .
In the best case scenario, savings are reduced by 0.12%.
Recycling plastic saves so much energy (a good thing!) and shipping things across the ocean uses so little energy (also a good thing!), that shipping our dirty plastic to China for recycling isn't actually terrible.

When potential buyers walk into a home, they must be able to visualize how they'd make the house their home. They don't want to be distracted by the owner's bobblehead collection or other tchotchkes.
Home stagers help separate the seller's emotion from their home and create a vision for buyers to sell them the idea that this is how the house could look with them in it.
Home stagers like Gaynor recommend changes to the house, such as new paint or getting rid of an area rug, as well as bringing in new furniture and decor. A home stager for six years, Gaynor has her own stash of decor but also works with Louisville-based Cort Furniture. It depends on what the house needs.
With the internet, successful home listings include so much more than a base price, basic facts and a photo of the home's exterior. Buyers use the internet to peek inside and eliminate potential houses before they spend the time driving to see them.
Home staging has been popular in larger cities for years, and Louisville home owners are now increasingly using home stagers.
Parks has worked with home stager Lyn Mabry, owner of Living Spaces by Lyn, for the past three years, and about 85 percent of the homes she lists are staged. She previously offered her own tips to home owners about how to lay out their house and suggested improvements, but she said she likes having someone who can serve as the expert.
"(Home owners) tend to listen a little more than if it was just me," Parks said.
Because selling a home is an emotional process, an outside expert can prevent a tenuous relationship from developing between the realtor and person selling the house.
"There is a dynamic there I think is going to be more helpful if it is a third-party coming in," said Laura Grubb, a realtor with Semonin Realtors in Louisville.
About 75 percent of her listings are staged; she uses Kathi Jaggers and Lynn Medeiros, co-owner of Staging Your Next Move.
Prices vary depending on the home stager and the needs of the home.
"(The cost of staging a house is) always less than a price reduction," she said, adding that on average, the homes she has staged have stayed on the market for 2.75 days after her work was complete.
The average time on the market in Louisville was 81 days in February, a typically slower month, and 61 days back in August, according to Realtor.com.
The first house Parks used a stager for was on the market for 120 days before she took over the listing, Parks said.
When a house stays on the market, home owners sometimes are forced to lower the price to entice a buyer, and although housing inventory is low, creating competition among buyers, homes still sit on the market or sell for lower than asking price.
"Houses that don't have that appeal when you walk in the door — even though we have limited inventory — are not going to fly off the market as quickly," Grubb said.
That's not to say home staging is a magic bullet. The houses still need to be priced correctly from the get-go, but staging houses "dramatically reduce the days on market," she said.

Escaping the Prison of Contingency: Another Attempt to Pin Down the Utopian Impulse
July 03, 2019 by Cameron Summers in Analysis, Political, Personal, Written by: Cameron
What I am calling the Utopian Impulse is a hypothetical third drive, something to break the Freudian dichotomy of sex and death. What Marcuse called "The Great Refusal" and Mark Fisher called "the Specter of the world that could be free", I view as expressions of the Utopian Impulse. I don't want to think of it as anything mystical, but I can't help but feel inflected by mysticism when I discuss it. It is a haunting spirit, a radical outside, an alchemical potential.

Another set of numbers with no outlines? Is it still not a trend since NCAA and the NFL have different uniform aesthetics according to whoever told me that?
"Please justify my opinions and explain to me why other people wouldn't express the same opinions I do. Everyone must have bad taste." Simple answer here is you'd be the problem.
Generic or traditional to hockey and Vancouver?
That tiny little gold slash, which they still have, just a different color is enough for you to make you hate an entire uniform? You must be hard to please. That's absolutely ridiculous is what it is.
"Many" I love how people get the support of 1 or 2 people on here and all of a sudden "most" people, "almost everyone", or the "majority" always seem to agree with them.
You might be the nitpickiest person on this site.
Current homes only have one stripe around the waist so you actually made it better. Road is way better with the shoulders you gave them.
This is my school and I gotta say I'm just not feeling it. I get the throwback to the original Reebok era with the stripes, but it doesn't work with the new front wordmark. It worked with the head and Sioux font, just not here. Plus the green pant and helmets at home are great, as that was what they wore all the time up until near the 2000s. It feels like too many eras were tried to be mashed together and it just doesn't work the same. The white primary just seems off. I love your work by the way, just my thoughts on this one.
Sock stripes and jersey stripes are flipped. Also argue the helmet, yellow pants, and socks all have consistent to them. White never touches gold. So when they wear gold pants and the striped socks, everything goes together but the jersey. When they wear what you posted, everything matches, but the helmet. Their is no perfect combo for them with what they have to satisfiy everyone's OCD here.

07 Jun Breadbox launches 'Sohe' upmarket Thai Restaurant in East Fremantle.
Breadbox Marketing and PR recently launched Sohé – a family owned and run modern Thai fusion restaurant with a twist, located in East Fremantle. The project involved giving the restaurant an identity as distinct as its offering.
Sohé needed to stand out from other competing local restaurants, and Breadbox was enlisted to undertake a 360 degree brand experience. From sleek contemporary and interesting interiors, a unique brand identity with customised hand painted font and style elements, website design and development, business cards and menus, and a media launch.
The media launch included guests from The Urban List, Broadsheet, The West Australian plus a wide range of food and lifestyle bloggers – who all shared their experience on social media and traditional media channels, which resulted in the restaurant tripling its turnover overnight (check this with Dav).
Guests were treated to a degustation style menu for guests to taste a broad range of dishes – ranging from seared scallops with coconut and kaffir lime leaf with a sweet sherry sauce (our personal favourite!), through to the trustworthy massaman curry and finishing off with the kulfi ice-cream topped with Persian fairy floss. Food was paired with wine by sommelier Indi Newall, who not only worked with us to select local wines to match the menu, but also engaged with to guests throughout the evening about the selected wine pairing.
Artist Linzi Carter treated the guests to a visual feast creating a large permanent art mural being painted live throughout the evening.
Sohé, located at 89 Petra St, East Fremantle, is now open Tuesday to Sunday, from 5pm each night – and has definitely become one of our regular dining haunts!

World's first hydrogen-run boat on global trip across all oceans
July 11, 2018 Anand Gupta 0

The plan is to touch 50 countries while taking 101 halts.
Fossil fuel are the main sources of rising pollution and the world is trying to move towards renewable and less-polluting fuels. While roadways are the places where the main carriers of harmful fossil fuel can be seen, oceans are yet another parts where motor boats and ships continue to contribute to the worsening situation. Amidst this dark cloud of smoke, nothing could be better than a cruise which runs on not one but two non-toxic energy sources including solar power as well as hydrogen.
Energy Observer, developed by Victorien Erussard, is one such cruise which is running on renewable energy sources and is on its trip to sail through all the oceans across the globe. The circumnavigation is planned to test if the ship can sail across all the oceans on renewable energy, without using any fossil fuel. Basically, it may not be called a ship or a cruise but a purposeful sailing carrier whose every part looks to serve a need.

Manchester City target Jesus Medina has moved a step closer to Pep Guardiola's squad by signing with sister club New York City.
Medina has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester after impressing with Club Libertad in his native Paraguay, but will begin his time with City Football Group in MLS.
The 20-year-old becomes New York's third designated player after signing a four-year contract, his move subject to him obtaining a visa.
New York head coach Patrick Vieria is excited to have Medina in his ranks for the new season and expects him to have a big impact.
"We are really delighted that we have managed to bring Jesus to the football club because we believe that he's a special talent," said Vieira.
"Jesus has got talent, he's got pace, he's a really good dribbler, and he's somebody who can assist and score goals as well. For a player of such a young age, he has a really strong character and I think he will be a great addition."


An experiment carried out this year showed that rats actually "dream" when faced with the prospect of future rewards! Researchers placed rats in a location where they could see food, but not reach it, then let them rest in a separate room, and finally allowed them to walk to the food and enjoy it at last. During each stage, they monitored the brain activity of the rats, and found that the parts of their brains involved in navigation were active not only during their travels to the food, but also while they were asleep in the separate room.
Now, it's only a theory that this brain activity can be experienced by the rats as a dream, and it's possible that it's simply their brains reviewing and strengthening its view of the world. But I like to think that during rest they're imagining a brighter future filled with all sorts of treats, because after all, I'm sure we're all guilty of that!

Tribeca Film Fest goes inside 'Studio 54'
Rob Perez | May 28, 2018 | Film Reviews
The film goes in depth into the history of the New York club
Nothing defined the era of disco and debauchery more so than the legendary nightclub Studio 54, infamous in its heyday as the place where illegal drugs and rampant sex were the norm as much as the celebrities and cool young trendsetters co-mingling with one another, and where gay culture was celebrated. It was where the underground became mainstream, where inhibitions were left at the door, and what happened in Studio 54 mostly stayed in Studio 54, even to this day. Fortunately, we do find out a little more of the behind the scenes happening in Studio 54, which screened at last month's Tribeca Film Festival.
In director Matt Tyrnaur's fun but informative documentary, we hear about the celebrated but also turbulent life of the famed New York City nightclub from Ian Schrager, the normally reclusive, quieter co-owner of 54, the other being the more outgoing Steve Rubell (who died of complications from AIDS in 1989). It's quite a get as Schrager has rarely spoke at length about his days as New York's club king (he has since become one of the world's most successful hoteliers), but he is everywhere in this documentary. Although much of what is discussed has been documented before and with the same former 54 employees, with Schrager serving as the main voice, the stories seem to get a newer, fresher perspective. From the celebrities that were welcomed into arms, the drugs, the sex, Studio 54 also goes into Schrager's and Rubell's background a bit further than other documentaries have, where we see how their previous business endeavors were really the testing grounds for their idea of a new nightclub that would set itself apart from other nightclubs in New York.
While Studio 54 is a celebration of the now legendary nightclub, Tyrnaur also doesn't neglect exploring its ugly side such as its judgmental door policy, only allowing the "pretty, entitled, popular people" in, and how the owners were skimming so much money from the nightly take. Schrager goes into detail how the government would eventually get him and Rubell on tax evasion charges and serving prison time, effectively ending what was once a fantasy land, where one could "escape" according to a young Michael Jackson, a 54 regular.
Still, Studio 54 was an important venue where gay men could escape to and feel safe, a club that celebrated all that was cool and weird, where one could dance to the disco music, sex wasn't treated as taboo, and will never be repeated again. Studio 54, the documentary, does an excellent job of fairly portraying the highs, the lows and everything in between of this wild and eccentric era.

Chasing Football
Clare Dinsdale
It is 9:30 AM on a Wednesday morning, and I find myself sitting at my computer perusing job adverts for an opening in football, as I have many mornings before. It has been over a year since I started looking for a job in football, and 4 months of sporadic employment since I started my General Management Programme in Sports Business. A course I enrolled in to help me break into the industry, and despite my best efforts, I have not yet landed my dream job. But, a lot has changed in that time. My husband and I have both lost our jobs; we moved into a new home; I made a lot of new contacts and attended my first sports business conference. Some things, however, remain the same. I am still hoping and dreaming of my big break, and I still have the look of hopeful desperation that I hope screams "Hire me" to potential employers. Yet with each application, I am reminded of how much experience is worth… and of how little experience I have in the industry. I have contacted every person I was advised to, followed up on every potential lead, had meetings, phone calls and even one or two interviews. I have researched the perfect cover letter, opening lines, read up on every team and every business ahead of every meeting or letter. Yet, despite all my hard work, I find myself still perusing those same job offers in the hopes that one application will work out.
Antonio Conte Set for the Sack or Contract Extension?
Recently, Antonio Conte has been under some scrutiny after Chelsea have had some poor performances, and this can been accompanied with some very poor results. This was capped off with a second half collapse against Bournemouth, which led to a 3-0 home defeat to AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday. This included three goals in sixteen second half minutes, including former Blue, Nathan Ake, scoring the third. Ake had left the club in the summer for around 20 million pounds.

Lina Iris Viktor - seeking to instill a divine order to all around her.
Lina Iris Viktor chooses to work in a strictly limited world - it is a mythical one of her creation existing within the zen-influenced, blurred lines of the real and the imagined. The world she imagines is perfectly curated, puristic, and minimalist - it tends to cancel out materiality, to transfer it to the realm of the spiritual & the alchemical. Governed by a purist color palette, her work considers the natural laws, hermetic philosophies, mathematic & scientific principles, and seeks to instill a divine order to all around her.
Working across multiple mediums, she adheres to the colour palette of blue, black, white and 24-karat gold to create paintings, sculptural works, photography, performance works, and installations. Viktor's work fuses apparent contradictions, synchronizing the monumental and the minuscule, decadent and the minimal, the spectacular and the invisible, seeking to heighten the experience of the spectator by creating immersive environments that transport the viewer into other worlds.
Lina Iris Viktor is a conceptual artist, performance artist, and painter. She lives and works itinerantly between New York and London.
Raised in London to Liberian parents, she traveled extensively in her youth also living in Johannesburg, South Africa for many years. The multi-disciplinary approach to her work, which weaves disparate materials and methods belonging both to contemporary and ancient art forms calls into question the nature of time and being. Her works are a merging of photography, performance, abstract painting, along with the ancient practice of gilding with 24-karat gold to create increasingly dark canvases embedded with "layers of light" in the form of symbols and intricate patterns. Viktor regards these dark canvases to be "light-works". Each provoke a philosophical commentary through material that at once addresses the infinite and the finite, immortality and mortality, the microcosm and macrocosm, in addition to the socio-political and historical preconceptions surrounding 'blackness' and its universal implications.
Viktor's multi-disciplinary practice is informed by a background in film which she studied at Sarah Lawrence College, and her continued studies within photography & design at The School of Visual Arts, along with an education in performance arts during high school. Viktor creates her own mythology as a painter, sculptor, photographer, and performance artist.
Viktor has exhibited at Harvard Art Museums and The Cooper Gallery, Harvard University, Boston; The Kentucky Museum of Arts & Craft, Louisville; and Spelman Museum of Fine Art, Spelman College, Georgia. Viktor has engaged in critical talks, panels & lectures at Harvard University, New York University, The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA, London), King's College London, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Saint Louis Art Museum, and Autograph ABP (London).


Motorola sends out soak test invites for RAZR HD and Maxx HD: 4.2?
A new e-mail has started hitting users from Motorola, and inviting users to join an unspecified soak test for the DROID RAZR HD and DROID RAZR Maxx HD. The e-mail doesn't mention what the soak test is for, but we'd say the smart money is on this being the testing for the Android 4.2 update for both devices. As of right now, both devices are running Android 4.1.2, and there have been rumors that Android 4.2 is on the way for the devices, so it would make sense.
Click this link — *retracted* – to take the enrollment survey if you wish to take part. Note that you must be a member in good standing of the Motorola Owners' Forums to be included. The registration window could close without notice so please respond as quickly as possible.
No doubt that once whatever is being tested rolls out to testers, we'll see more leaks about what it is and what to expect, but for right now all we really know is that something is happening with the two Motorola Verizon devices.
4.2 is definitely coming to the M.
shoot, i've always thought battery life was pretty good on that thing. it was better than on both of the SIII's i've used.
well ever since 4.1.2 it sucked...alot.
i ran lots of apps on 4.1.1 for two day without a charge...now i have to charge it like 2 times a day...but aleast it charges super fast. thats a plus in my book!
sadly it's not 4.2. i received the email myself and it said it's just a small maintenance update. i'm sure Moto has builds of 4.2 that are near completion though. we'll probably learn more from the reps at the Moto X press conference.
I have to ask, has any US flagship phone which didn't ship with it gotten 4.2 yet?
nexus 3 and the htc one will get soon i believe.
considering how intent Motorola was at updating nearly every handset that can handle it to 4.1 i think it would be pretty safe to assume the 4.2 update is coming sooner rather than later. last i heard it was in testing for the Atrix HD and the Razr HD models.

"In the darkened house against the fire's flickering light, masks were powerfully evocative manifestations of the spirit world, with a compelling fascination. A high point in the performance was often marked by the use of a transformation (or articulated) mask. The dancer drew attention to an approaching change by the rhythm of his dance and the prominent place he chose to stand, as the beat of the song intensified... and the mask revealed within it another being who belonged in the myth of the dance."

Q: Airport utility: Scan specific channels I am using the Airport utility /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport. With the little program I am able to scan my network for WIFI senders. I do however, want to scan only for specific channels (let's say 6 and 11) to speed up the process. This is possible and seems to be common practise on Linux.
The command (linking to the program mentioned above) I use at the moment which takes 5-10 seconds:
sudo airport -s

Sadly, there is no documentation (I found) about this wonderful little helper. The only help is the help page when using flag -h.
Supported arguments:
 -c[<arg>] --channel=[<arg>]    Set arbitrary channel on the card
 -z        --disassociate       Disassociate from any network
 -I        --getinfo            Print current wireless status, e.g. signal info, BSSID, port type etc.
 -s[<arg>] --scan=[<arg>]       Perform a wireless broadcast scan.
                   Will perform a directed scan if the optional <arg> is provided
 -x        --xml                Print info as XML
 -P        --psk                Create PSK from specified pass phrase and SSID.
                   The following additional arguments must be specified with this command:
                                  --password=<arg>  Specify a WPA password
                                  --ssid=<arg>      Specify SSID when creating a PSK
 -h        --help               Show this help

It seems like the -s parameters takes arg but I can not find any information anywhere in which format I can pass arguments on and which arguments are supported in the first place. Has anyone worked with the tool before? Is there any documentation about this that I missed?
Thanks a lot for any help or pointers.

A: I don't think the tool does what you wish. It treats scan as "check all channels" and may not even obey restrictions if you set them by hook or crook on which channels are allowed on the interface. It allows you to pre-filter by SSID name as opposed to channel:
airport --scan=whatever

For sniffing, you can use the Wireless Diagnostics application, but it's not command line based/enabled as far as I can tell.

Once you start the program, look in the Window menu for the options available on your OS (the tool is improving over time IMO with more features and capabilities).
You are right and the authors of the airport manual page agree that "airport more information needed here"

It all goes back to why we do this in the first place: when we both started learning code, we had mentors when we really needed them, and we want to pass that experience on to as many journalists as possible.
All of our mentors are either journalists themselves, or interested in helping journalists. All of our mentors, just like the co-founders, are volunteers and donate their time to make Code with me a reality.
We offer our teaching material under a Creative Commons license: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported, which means you can share and adapt our work, as long as you attribute Code with me, share your resulting work under the same license, and don't use it for commercial purposes. If you have a commercial project in mind, please contact us. We currently are not allowing third parties to use host workshops using the Code with me brand.
Both of us have been where the students are: wishing that someone would just sit down to code with us and help us learn. Luckily, we both found mentors who were generous with their time, and now we want to make sure other journalists struggling to learn these skills on their own find the mentors they're wishing for. While we do charge for the workshops, all the money goes towards improving the curriculum or helping cover operating costs. None of it goes to us, and we like keeping it that way.

Spotlight on NPs
Posted on March 7, 2018 by AANP under healthcare
Spotlight on NPs highlights exciting achievements and activities of American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) members.
A U.S. News & World Report article about more NPs practicing in low income areas quoted AANP President Dr. Joyce Knestrick, who said recent findings by the University of Michigan "reinforce what we've seen across the 22 states that have modernized regulations to allow patients direct access to nurse practitioner care." Knestrick indicated that nurse practitioners head to where they are needed most. Knestrick was also interviewed by Daily Nurse and shared her insights for those interested in pursing a career as a nurse practitioner. In her blog for 30 Seconds, Knestrick discussed a heart-healthy lifestyle and offered five tips to keep hearts healthy year-round.
AANP Texas (S) State Representative Dr. Jessica Peck also serves as Chair of the Alliance for Care Coordination of Children in Human Trafficking, an effort of the National Association for Pediatric Nurse Practitioners Partners for Vulnerable Youth. Peck participated in a radio media tour to promote Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and reached an audience of more than 4.3 million people. Below are two selections from her media tour.
WDUN Interview in Gainesville, GA
WFLA Interview in Tampa, FL
Approximately 87 percent of human trafficking survivors "were seen by health care providers while they were under the control of their traffickers, and 63 percent had been to the emergency department," according to a recent blog by AANP member Sherri Mason. "Emergency departments are at the heart of a hospital's response to [human] trafficking, but the most successful programs take an 'all-hands-on-deck' approach in their planning and implementation," Mason indicated.
Congratulations to AANP member Vanessa Falwell, who was recently appointed by Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson to serve on the Arkansas State Board of Health. Falwell said, "I am very honored to be entrusted with a position that I know affects the citizens of Arkansas. As a member of the State Board of Health, I will be able to give input on promoting better standards of health care." Read more.
Is it depression, or just the winter blahs? AANP member Tracy Flynn explained in an Op-Ed for her local newspaper that only approximately half of people with depression have been diagnosed. According to Flynn, if people have symptoms that include "sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, feelings of tiredness and poor concentration," they should visit a health care provider.
Laura Mason's NP-led clinic was featured in a local news article. According to the article, the AANP member was "was one of the area's first independent nurse practitioner in eastern Idaho. She was one of the first to offer bioidentical, plant based, hormones for hormonal therapy; and she was one of the first to offer platelet-rich plasma sexual therapies for woman and men in the area." Read more.
AANP member Debby Greenlaw was featured in a local news article that described the new adventure she and her husband have begun. Weaving heritage into new hobbies, the Greenlaw's are growing herbs and weaving and dying textiles in their "second act."
Congratulations to AANP member Michelle Peacock, who recently received one of 27 Albuquerque Business First's Women of Influence Awards. According to a press release, Lt. Col. Mocha Robinson, commander of the 377th Aerospace Medicine Squadron at Kirtland Air Force Base, presented Peacock's award to her. Peacock served 13 years as a member of the U.S. Army Nursing Corps.
Minnesota is struggling through its worst flu season in ten years. In a local news article about influenza, AANP member Gwen Verchota shared habits that people should practice to remain healthy.

Aspergers Syndrome and Education-What are the Options for my Child?
Parents faced with finding the best educational setting for a child with Autism are discovering a wide range of options thanks to the demand for such. For children with Aspergers, education involves much more than academics. The very structure of the learning situation must be a match to the student's particular strengths and weaknesses. In addition, therapy needs must also be addressed. Here are the most common options parents of children with Autism have for education.
Public schools are obligated to provide a free and appropriate education for all student s within their enrollment. The goal is education in the least restrictive environment for all students, meaning more chances for peer interaction. Students with Autism will most likely have IEP contracts. They may be mainstreamed in classes called inclusion classrooms. They may be in regular classrooms for some subjects and pulled out to a resource classroom for others. In more severe cases, students may spend most of the day in a special education or resource classroom. Individualization determines the best approach.
Autism focus schools are popping up as the cases of ASD multiply. These schools require students to have an official Autism diagnosis before enrollment. The child's academic program is planned with his strengths and weaknesses in mind, allowing time for the assortment of therapies common in the treatment of Autism.
Residential/boarding schools for children with Autism are especially helpful for older children and teens with Autism or Aspergers. Education includes academics, therapies, and basic living skills. The students are encouraged to pursue on campus extracurricular activities and social training opportunities. The goal is the child's future independence.
Homeschooling is gaining ground as a popular choice of education for typical and special needs children. Parents become teachers, therapists, coaches, and mentors for their children. You cannot beat the one-on-one attention and instruction a parent is able to give a child with Autism. Homeschooled students may learn in a strictly scheduled environment, eclectic style focused on the child's interests, or completely child-directed, delight learning sometimes called unschooling. Of course, students with ASD usually thrive in an organized environment on a set schedule.
In many cases of children with Autism or Aspergers, education via the local public school special education department is by far the most popular choice at this point. Parents must search locally for the best possible option for their child with Aspergers.

Veterans Hall of Fame seeking help with monument project
Community, History, News
This is an artist rendering of what the Hall of Fame monument will look like. It will be located on the southeast corner of the Crawford County Courthouse.
The Crawford County Veterans Hall of Fame is still accepting inscribed brick and granite pavers to help raise funds for its proposed monument project.
The organization would like to contstruct a monument on the southeast corner of the Crawford County Courthouse property to honor veterans. The pavers will surround the monument structure.
The monument will be created by Longstreth Memorials and will have inscribed names of all veterans that have been inducted into the Veterans Hall of Fame, about 60 to date. CCVOF inducts five veterans each November.
"This is a county veterans project. Not any one veteran organization," CCVOF President Chuck Christman said.
As of the end of May, he explained the organization has raised $25,000 for the monument, including a $5,000 match from the Community Foundation for Crawford County.
In total, the project will cost $80,000-100,000.
"You don't have to be a vet or live in Crawford County to buy a paver," Christman added. He said they are asking for support from the community to get the project done.
Christman also said that the idea for the project belongs to Delmer Click, who has pushed for it since 2006. Click passed away in 2012.
All local veteran organizations have paper copies of the paver form. Click here to view the form online.
For more information, call CCVOF at 419-562-4740 or visit www.ccvhof.org.
The Crawford County Veterans Hall of Fame, Inc. has been established for the sole purpose of recognizing the lifetime of accomplishments made by veterans that were born in Crawford County, or who have fulfilled the residency requirements put in place by the Crawford County Veterans Hall of Fame, Inc.

An original new setting for RuneQuest II, Wraith Recon transports the players into new roles and terrible responsibilities.
The Kingdom of Dardarrick is beset on all fronts. To the east, open warfare with the Republic of Lorn has claimed tens of thousands of lives over the past decade and trenches now run parallel to the border, uprooting towns and villages in their wake. To the south, Lorn's ally, the Kingdom of Torres constantly threatens overt military action, and has been implicated in many raids on nearby towns as the nation reaches a fever pitch of religious hatred. The wildlands to the west and north are home to goblinoids, ogres and giants, who must be constantly beaten back as they encroach on Dardarrick territory. And even within Dardarrick itself, evil lurks as the followers of the deposed theocrat Tomarsson plot their fanatical return to power.

Phosphoric acid, hexadecyl esters, potassium salts with cetyl alcohol and isostearyl isostearate
Currently viewing: S-01 | Summary001 Key | Experimental result
From November 13, 2017 to November 16, 2017
OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test)
Analytical monitoring:
High-performance liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) method
Details on sampling:
To demonstrate that nominal exposure concentrations were being achieved, the concentrations of test substance in the test solutions were measured using the high-performance liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry method.
AAP medium
Details on test solutions:
Preparation of test solutions
The study was run with a culture medium control, solvent control and nominal exposure concentrations of 0.085, 0.19, 0.41, 0.91 and 2.0 mg/L. The test substance was ground to a white powder in a pestle and mortar. Primary stock concentrates of test substance with nominal concentrations of 10 and 20 g/L were prepared by weighing a nominal 0.1 g of test substance (actual weight: 0.09997 g) and 0.2 g of test substance (actual weight: 0.19993 g) respectively into 10 mL volumetric flasks and making up to volume with tetrahydrofuran (THF). The volumetric flasks were placed in an ultrasonic bath for approximately 1 h and the resultant stocks were both observed to be cloudy white solutions (classified as homogenous dispersions). Test solutions were prepared by the direct addition of the appropriate amount of concentrate to dilution water via a microliter syringe into a stirring solution in a volumetric flask. The solvent control was prepared in the same way using solvent only. The control consisted of culture medium only. In all cases the final solutions contained nutrients. All test solutions were observed as clear and colourless. A solvent was used in this study to assist in dosing the test compound due to its apparent low solubility in test media, the concentration of solvent used in all exposure solutions with the exception of the control was 100 µL/L. The appropriate test solution (100 mL volume) was dispensed to each test and blank vessel.
Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
Details on test organisms:
The test species was the unicellular green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata strain CCAP 278/4 from laboratory cultures maintained under axenic conditions. A 3 d old culture of the alga in the exponential growth phase was used as inoculum for the test. The culture was grown in the medium, and under the environmental conditions, described for the test. The culture medium used for the test, and for the maintenance of cultures of the alga used as inoculum for the test was AAP-medium.
Water media type:
other: AAP-medium
Test temperature:
22 ± 2ºC
Nominal and measured concentrations:
A 2.0 mg/L test concentration was selected as the highest concentration based on the toxicity demonstrated in a non-GLP range-finding study.
0, 0.085, 0.19, 0.41, 0.91 and 2.0 mg/L (Nominal)
0, 0.041, 0.060, 0.14, 0.20, 0.34 mg/L (Mean measured)
Details on test conditions:
Appratus
The test vessels were glass conical flasks of 250 mL nominal capacity closed with foam bungs. Each flask contained 100 mL of test solution. The cultures were incubated at 22 ± 2°C (the nominal test temperature), under continuous "cool-white" illumination of approximately 6000 lux, with nominal orbital shaking at 160 rpm.
Reference substance (positive control):
other: ErC50
> 0.34 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (arithm. mean)
Conc. based on:
test mat. (total fraction)
other: EyC50
ca. 0.14 mg/L
other: growth rate and biomass
ca. 0.2 mg/L
The limit of quantification of test substance in this study was 0.06 mg/L. All analytical values are quoted to two significant figures and percentages to the nearest integer.The measured concentrations at the start of the study were 56-96% of nominal and at the end were 0-20% of nominal. Analytical calibrations were constructed using a minimum of 5 calibration levels, with a minimum R2 value of 0.99. The maximum percentage difference from nominal concentration for standards at the LOQ is less than 30% and less than 20% at levels greater than the LOQ. On the basis of the analytical data the mean measuredconcentrations were used for the calculation and reporting of results.
Algal cell particle densities (cell particles per unit volume) were measured as a surrogate for biomass.
The growth rate (0 to 72 h) was calculated for each replicate culture. The growth rates were examined by one-way analysis of variance and a two‑sample t test to identify significant differences (p<0.05) between the control and solvent control. There was no significant effect (p=0.9295) between the control and solvent control. Therefore, the solvent control was compared to the treatments by one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni adjusted t test to identify significant differences (p<0.05). ECXwas calculated using the linear interpolation (ICPIN) method. The results obtained from these growth rate analyses, based on mean measured test concentrations, were as follows:
Test substance
(mg/L)
95% confidence limits
This response was defined as the biomass at the end of the test minus the starting biomass. For the purposes of calculation, the cell particle density count (cell particles per unit volume) is an acceptable surrogate for biomass. These cell particle densities were examined by one-way analysis of variance and two-sample t test to identify significant differences (p<0.05) from the control and solvent control. There was no significant effect (p=0.9651) between the control and solvent control. Therefore, the solvent control was compared to the treatments by one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni adjusted t test to identify significant differences (p<0.05). ECX was calculated using the linear interpolation (ICPIN) method. The EC50, EC20 and EC10 values with their associated confidence intervals were subsequently calculated using the Linear Interpolation method. The results obtained from these statistical analysis, based on mean measured test concentrations, were as follows:
EyC50
Additional biological data
The microscopic observations, made at the end of the test, showed that compared to the control the algal cells sampled from the solvent control and all test concentrations appeared normal.
Validity criteria
The validity criteria specified in the OECD 201 guideline are;
1) To achieve ≥16 fold exponential increase in biomass in the control replicates within the 72 h test period. In this test, cell particle density increase (measured as a surrogate for biomass) was 66.4 and 66.2 over the 72 h for the control and solvent control respectively.
2) The mean coefficients of variation for control replicate sectional (daily) specific growth rates must not exceed 35% and in this test, was determined to be 15%.
3) The replicate coefficient of variation of average specific growth rates during the whole test period in the control replicate cultures must not exceed 7% and in this test, was calculated to be 2.1% and 3.2% for control and solvent control respectively.
Based on the study results, it was concluded that the study has fulfilled validity criteria.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
Under the study conditions, 72 h ErC50, EyC50, NOEC and LOEC values for the test substance with freshwater green algae, were determined to be >0.34, >0.34, 0.14 and 0.20 mg/L, respectively.
A study was conducted to determine the acute toxicity study of the test substance, 'mono- and di- C16 PSE, K+ and C16-OH and isostearyl isostearate' to freshwater green algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), according to OECD Guideline 201, in compliance with GLP. Six replicates of the culture medium control and triplicates of each concentration of the test substance were employed. Each replicate test vessel was inoculated with 0.440 mL of the inoculum culture to give a nominal cell density of 0.5 × 104 cells/mL. One 100 mL volume of Coulter electrolyte, inoculated in the same manner, had a cell density of 0.515 × 104 cells/mL. This value was used for growth calculations. Three replicate algal cultures were exposed to test substance at nominal concentrations of 0, 0.085, 0.19, 0.41, 0.91 and 2.0 mg/L in AAP medium for 72 h. The exposure levels of test substance in aqueous samples of test media were monitored using a HPLC/MS method of analysis. Based on whole sample extraction (dissolved and undissolved), the measured concentration of the test substances were found to be 0, 0.041, 0.060, 0.14, 0.20 and 0.34 mg/L. The test results were expressed in terms measured concentration of test substance. Algal cell particle densities (cell particles per unit volume measured as a surrogate for biomass) and growth rate were calculated for each replicate culture. The ErC50 and ErC10 values (for growth rate) were found to be >0.34 and 0.18 mg/L and EyC50 and EyC10 values (for cell particle density) were found to be >0.34 and 0.15 mg/L respectively. The NOEC and the LOEC values were found to be 0.14 mg/L and 0.20 mg/L, respectively, for both growth rate and cell particle densities. The study results were considered to have fulfilled the all the validity criteria. Under the study conditions, the 72 h ErC50, ErC10, EyC50, EyC10, NOEC and LOEC values for the test substance with freshwater green algae, were determined to be >0.34, 0.18, >0.34, 0.15, 0.14 and 0.20 mg/L, respectively (Scymaris, 2017).
The 72 h ErC50, ErC10, EyC50, EyC10, NOEC and LOEC values for the test substance with freshwater green algae, were determined to be >0.34, 0.18, >0.34, 0.15, 0.14 and 0.20 mg/L, respectively (Scymaris, 2017).
EC50 for freshwater algae:
0.34 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
Based on the available information, significant toxicity was not observed up to the highest soluble test concentration, therefore the EC50 value of the test substance, 'mono- and di- C16 PSE, K+ and C16-OH and isostearyl isostearate' was established as >0.34 mg/L.


Mr Cotton says the staff refused to tell him how much he could have: "So I wrote out a few slips. I said, 'Can I have £5,000?' They said no. I said, 'Can I have £4,000?' They said no. And then I wrote one out for £3,000 and they said, 'OK, we'll give you that.' "
Mr Cotton cannot understand HSBC's attitude: "I've been banking in that bank for 28 years. They all know me in there. You shouldn't have to explain to your bank why you want that money. It's not theirs, it's yours."

Q: Boot fails after upgrade to 21.04 - ""failed to start service for snap application" My system hung while upgrading from 20.10 to 21.04 and wouldn't reboot. I rescued it by dropping to the command line and running sudo dpkg --configure -a, and after that everything seemed fine.
Now, when I boot up I get following:

FAILED] Failed to start Service for snap application canonical-livepatch.canonical-Livepatchd.
13.389915) usb 2-3: cannot get connectors status: reg : 0x81, wValue = 0X700, Index = 0X202, type = 0

REISUB makes it restart properly, but how do I get it to boot in the first place? Running sudo canonical-livepatch refresh doesn't work as 21.04 doesn't support Livepatch anyway.

Q: Is Objective-C remote-message feature deprecated? I discovered there is some kind of remote-messaging feature were in Objective-C language. But it is no longer documented. Is it deprecated? What's happening in the feature?

A: You mean these:
Distributed Objects
Certainly not deprecated as far as I know. More usurped by other mechanisms.

A: You'll be happier implementing remote messaging with something else. Distributed Objects is still available in the Cocoa framework, but it can be difficult to work with; eg lack of documentation and examples, and lots of gotchas.
ZeroMQ is third party technology for doing remote messaging. BLIP is yet another. There are Objective-C APIs for both.
You could also roll your own thing using JSON and NSURLConnection or embedded HTTP servers.
