Hello! My name is Melissa and I'm a binge-watching, carrot cake-loving, undercover art aficionado from the West Coast (best coast). I'm excited to explore the Government, Latin American Studies, and Geography departments during my first year at Dartmouth. You can find me studying in the Black Family Visual Arts Center, working or hanging at Novack Café 24/7, and adding to my earring collection at Dartmouth's jewelry studio.
¡Bienvenidos! You've successfully navigated your way through the endless, all-encompassing black hole that is the internet and arrived at your final destination: this girl's first blog post. Feel free to return to this ever-evolving destination as you look for a point of reference and embark on your exciting, albeit daunting, search for college.
My name is Melissa and I come from East Los Angeles (born and raised). Buckle up as I take you through my life story and explain my ultimate arrival to Hanover, 2,947 miles from home. Hold on tight because this is going to be a long ride!
Our first stop will take place outside of the U.S. and inside a small little town in Puebla, Mexico. My parents grew up a few miles away from each other but never met until their arrival at the U.S. They settled in East LA and had me, the first of six (my parents were a little too ambitious). My five other siblings, Mariela (16, at the date of this publication), Yadira (15), Angel (13), Jimena (8), and Jesus (7) soon followed.
The standard family graduation photo, complete with terrible lighting and endless smiles!
Education is above all in our household, but it hasn't always been like that. I can recall several moments during my primary years in elementary school in which my mom and dad would excuse me from school so that we could all go to the beach together (I guess they simply couldn't let me go).
In second grade, however, I had the fortune of meeting Mr. Meehan, a highly eccentric and magnificent teacher. He helped me improve my English exponentially (where are all my ESL learners?) and inculcated the importance of knowledge within our whole family.
Since then, it's been pretty much smooth sailing in academics. Although I have hit a couple of rough patches since (shoutout to AP Calculus), I avidly enjoy learning new things, challenging myself academically, and seeking out opportunities. In fact, my path to Dartmouth would not have been possible had it not been for my willingness to seek out possibility! During my junior year, I miraculously joined an LA-based college access program, College Match, which funded my visit to Dartmouth and ultimately incited my love for the Big Green.
April 7, 2017. My first time visiting the Big Green. As I posed behind Baker-Berry Library on this rainy spring day, I knew that Dartmouth was the college for me!
I subsequently applied during my senior year in high school and was accepted (much to my absolute joy)! A couple of months ago, I graduated from Garfield High School, a big public school in the heart of East LA. I spent much of my summer soaking up all the California sun, exploring new areas all over the city, and saying my final goodbyes to family and friends.
Now that that's said and done, we've finally arrived to the last and final stop, but there's no telling where this ride might take us. From potentially participating in a LSA+ program in Cusco, Peru to weekly visits at Lou's Restaurant for Sunday brunch to applying to future service fellowships in San Francisco, there's so much more to see and discover, and I welcome you all to come along with me!
I always had my own room, and by chance, was never housed with a roommate during summer camps. To top that off, I really like my personal space.
What Do Jake Tapper '91, Mindy Kaling '01, and I Have in Common?
We all have drawn cartoons for America's oldest college newspaper, The Dartmouth!
Ahlan, everyone! Welcome to my intro blog!
My name is Lamees Kareem, and I am a '22 (freshman) from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Finding a community (or communities) you identify with can truly bring a great amount of comfort to your college experience.
Old room, Old books, New face!
From an old room, a new face wants to introduce himself to you! What is he doing here? What is his thing? Does he even know? Find out this, and more, today!
Growing up in the Painted Desert of Arizona, I have always been surrounded by such a dry environment, so coming to Hanover where there are REAL TREES is a huge change for me!
Wait, isn't Hanover in Germany?
The prospect of going to college overseas so far away from home is indeed a daunting one. What I encourage all of my international readers out there to do is always to keep an open mind when it comes to colleges.
Having grown up in Minneapolis, I became accustomed to having parks and lakes around every corner – and didn't want to let that privilege go. Thankfully, the Dartmouth campus doesn't disappoint.

The appeal of Jaleco's Arm Champs II
Back in 2019 I did a livestream from Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, Illinois, and the highlight of this was playing a session of Jaleco's Arm Champs II. I made a Twitch clip of me playing this game on the highest difficulty you can select in-game, and this has sat on my Twitch channel since that time.
As a means of having extra ways to share my content, I've been slowly uploading archived content onto the GemuBaka YouTube channel, and this clip was added to the rotation a couple of weeks ago. I've thrown a number of things onto the channel over the past year, with most struggling to even find something like five views. However, out of nowhere, this Arm Champs clip has racked up more than 2,300 views at this point. I pretty much haven't uploaded anything that has been viewed to this level since my days of actively being a games writer, which ended roughly 10 years ago when my sons were born.
I've heard a lot of talk surrounding the original 1988 Arm Champs – I can't find a confirmation on the information, but it has been said the original entry was strong enough to the point it was hurting players and it was forced off the market. Sites such as Lost Media Wiki list it as a "lost game," with no ROM dumps available. The machine resembled arm wrestling against another human as compared to the robotic aesthetic given to the sequel. The LMW site also linked to the following YouTube video that shows the machine in action.
Arm Champs II launched in 1992, and it wasn't until about 2005 that I first encountered one of these machines in the Zap Zone laser tag location. I of course played the machine, but, at that time, I didn't really think much about it.
The game was introduced to the Galloping Ghost Arcade floor years back, but an issue with the machine led to it being pulled for a period of time. However, the machine made its triumphant return as the arcade's first new game put on the floor for 2019.
The reintroduction of the game to Galloping Ghost Arcade is notable because its announcement that Arm Champs II had returned included John Parrish, who humiliated the CPU and pressed the machine for a bonus stage force test score of 144. John Parrish is who Midway filmed and placed into Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3 as the character Jax. Today, he is a professional competitive bodybuilder, making him the perfect person to put Arm Champs II through its paces.
The premise of Arm Champs II is simple – the player steps up to the pedestal-style cabinet and must keep their elbow on a pad while gripping the palm of a plastic hand stretching out of the machine. There is a gripped peg players can grab with their other hand for leverage and, as expected, players attempt to muscle the machine's hand all the way to the side for a referee's decision. All the while, the machine is applying varying degrees of pressure in the other direction in an attempt to do the same to the player.
Firing up the game allows players to choose between 9 different "difficulties" that are represented by a wide range of stereotyped caricatures. Once a starting point is chosen among the difficulty path, players face off against four of the characters that change out with the difficulty levels.
However, players can go straight to the top and challenge a cyborg named Specks that looks like a marriage of Robocop and Master Chief. Starting from this point, players then face off against Specks four times, but, in this instance, the armor changes color each time and the game does make Specks a little bit more difficult to outmuscle through each version.
At this point in time, I recall not really even having to try through the first two Specks rounds, but the third and fourth versions did require a little effort.
The player's reward for tackling four of the opponents is a bonus stage against a gold Specks character. However, instead of resisting the player, the cyborg acts as a measuring device as the player applies as much leverage as they possibly can to get a strength reading. These readings are then what is used to determine if the player makes the high score table.
Arm Champs II is in fact a lot of fun, but it is also a novelty cabinet. There really isn't much reason to go back to the game after a handful of tries, as most players should be able to quickly see everything the game has to offer. But, when you're at a location like Galloping Ghost Arcade and you don't have to dump quarters into the machine each time, it's hard to resist the charm of this cabinet. It has a unique gimmick and the sprite work is very well done in Arm Champs II. It has an appealing magnetism toward casual players and it tends to be a popular machine that everyone wants to try.
… and, apparently, people can't get enough of Arm Champs II that they are searching it out on YouTube in the year 2021.

Q: How to Edit Parent Editable Text Widget in Unreal Engine I am very new to unreal engine, so I'm sure this is an easy question...embarrassing to even ask.
I have added an Editable Text Box into a user interface in my game. Next tot he Color and Opacity property, there is an "inherit" checkbox which I have checked.
How do I edit the parent so that all of my edit boxes have the same color? This seems like it should be obvious, and it probably is, but I have no clue how to do it.

A: Well, that was easy. When it says "inherit" it does not mean object oriented inheritance, it simply inherits from its parents in the visual tree.

In parallel with the 23rd Rencontres de Pédiatrie Pratique (Pediatrics Practical Seminars) held on January 25th & 26th in Paris, more than 160 pediatricians gathered for our Novalac symposium. During this event, Prof. Patrick Tounian, Head of Pediatric Nutrition & Gastroenterology unit at the Trousseau Hospital in Paris, delivered a presentation on nutritional deficiencies among young children.
Iron is a fundamental micronutrient involved in the formation of haemoglobin, myoglobin and various oxygen-carrier enzymes to transport oxygen in all cells in our bodies.
Thus, iron plays a crucial role in the body, especially for muscle, brain and immune system function. Iron is particularly important during child's growth and development.
Iron deficiency is the most prevalent deficiency in the world1.
Anaemia: it is affecting 2-8.5% of children from 1 to 3 years old and 7-10% of teenagers in Europa, and 3-21% of children from 1 to 5 years old developing countries1-3.
Cognitive development disorders which can be irreversible5-9.
Neuropsychiatric disorders during teenage years5-8, 10.
Behaviour disorders such as hyperactivity5-7, 11.
Heme iron, only found in meat, poultry, seafood, and fish, is more easily absorbed (20-30% iron bioavailability) by the body than the non-heme iron (2-5% iron bioavailability).
Breastfeed as long as possible (a 0-6 month-old baby would theoretically need 1100 ml/d of breastmilk to cover his needs but iron stocks in utero are important).
For non-breastfed babies, 200 ml/d of infant formula are sufficient to cover the baby's needs.
If the baby is exclusively breastfed, give him iron supplement. Adjust the iron supplementation once the baby starts solid foods, especially if he eats meat products.
For non-breastfed baby, 730 ml/d of follow-on formula cover his needs.
For non-breastfed infants older than one year, 360 ml/d of growing-up milk cover all his needs in iron, but one feeding bottle is enough if he eats one meat product the same day. Growing-up milk should be continued until they are able to eat at least 100-150 g/d of meat products, i.e. until infants are 3 to 6 years old.
Give meat products to the child, especially red meat products rich in heme-iron. If the child does not consume any growing-up formula, give him meat products twice a day.
Cow's milk is very poor in iron. Giving the child growing-up formula instead of cow's milk help covering his nutritional needs.
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body mainly involved in bone mineralisation.
Bone mineralization occurs only during growth, until the age of 20 years.
Calcium deficiency during the first 20 years of life increases the risk of fractures in all adulthood12.
Reduced consumption of milk and dairy products during childhood and adolescence increases the risk of fracture throughout life13-17.
Breastfeed as long as possible or feed the baby with infant formula.
Give dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese…) 3 times daily as part of a diversified diet.
Supplementation in calcium may be necessary for infants or children with cow's milk protein allergy, depending on their formula intake, since their dairy consumption is low.
Dietary lipids are key nutrients for infants not only to meet their high energy needs (human milk lipids provides 50% of energy intake) but also to fulfil numerous metabolic and physiological functions critical to their growth, development, and health.
Quality and quantity of lipids are especially important for neuro-cognitive development since the brain contains more than 60% of lipids.
There is no risk of lipid deficiency during the first 6 months of life if the baby is breastfed or fed with an infant formula.
Linoleic acid (omega 6 fatty acid) and α-linolenic acid (omega 3 fatty acid) are essential fatty acids that need to be brought in the diet.
DHA (omega 3 fatty acid) is considered as semi-essential fatty acids. Its deficiency can affect brain development, intellectual and visual functions18-20.
Breastfeed as long as possible. Breastfeeding is the best way to meet essential fatty acids and DHA requirements. Breastfeeding mothers should however eat enough fatty fish (at least 2 portions per week) and a mix of vegetable oils since linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid and DHA composition of breast milk is partly affected by mother's diet. DHA concentration in milk of vegan breastfeeding mothers is low21.
For non-breastfed babies, 470 ml/d of infant formula cover the needs of essential fatty acids of babies 0-6 months old and 720 ml/d of follow-on formula cover the needs of babies 6-12 months old.
From 6 to 12 months, in addition to lipids from infant formula, lipids must also be present or added in baby's solid food to meet lipid requirements. Add 2 to 4 teaspoons per day of butter or oils to home-made baby's diet.
For non-breastfed infants older than one year, 850 ml/d of growing-up milk formula are required to cover the infant's need. Most children do not drink enough growing-up milk to cover their needs, oils or butter (4 teaspoons/d) to infant's diet should therefore be added. Choose oils especially rich in DHA such as rapeseed, soy or walnut oil if intake of DHA is low.
Important sources of DHA come from fish products (especially fatty fish such as salmon, sardine, mackerel). Give one to two portions of fatty fish per week to ensure nutritional needs of DHA22.


The Philly cheesesteak. The club sandwich. The Reuben. Anything between two slices of bread at Katz's Delicatessen. These are all, frankly, ridiculous sandwiches. And as such, Americans may think they have a monopoly on ridiculous sandwiches.
But they've got nothing on Portugal's francesinha, almost certainly the most ridiculous sandwich of all.
According to Tiago Passos, the madness began at A Regaleira, a restaurant opened by his grandfather back in 1935 in the pleasant northern Portuguese city of Porto.
Passos describes how in the early 1950's, the restaurant hired a chef called Daniel Silva. Silva, who had worked a chef in Angola (a former Portuguese colony) and France, came home from these stints with the notion to do a take on the croque monsieur using local ingredients. According to Passos, Silva supplemented his invention with a sauce that was heavy on the malagueta, a spicy chili from Angola.
"He said that French girls were hot," explains Passos of Silva's inspiration for both the dish's unique seasoning and its name, the latter of which is the feminine diminutive form of the Portuguese for "French", approximately translatable as "little Frenchie".
"Girls in Portugal didn't wear miniskirt then," adds Passos.
This is pressed in a modified sandwich press until the sausages are cooked.
They're then topped with a slice of roast pork, another slice of toasted bread, and a couple slices of queijo flamengo, a mild cheese, and put back into the press. When heated through, they're then drenched in the molho, a thick, spicy sauce that unites stock, beer, whiskey, port, tomatoes, milk, mustard and chili -- allegedly, that is.
"The sauce is secret," we were told by a waiter. "And not everybody's sauce is the same. If you eat here, the sauce is different than another house."
The waiter slid the finished sandwich on our table and said, with confidence, "The best sandwich in the world." And indeed, it is pretty damn good. The francesinha is, despite all its fillings, relatively (again, relatively speaking) small, and voluminous contents merge together in an almost cake- or pie-like way, undoubtedly aided by the rich, binding sauce and all that melted cheese. And if you feel the sandwich is lacking somehow, you can always order a francesinha especial, which comes topped with a fried egg and a side of French fries.
Between these those slices of bread, you have cheese, ham, beefsteak, cured sausage, fresh sausage and mortadella. Yet the sandwich (shown at the top of this post) has less character, perhaps due to its uniform appearance and distinctly mild sauce that packs none of the spiciness of A Regaleira's.
But it's still, frankly, ridiculous.
I've made francesinhas twice now, and my recipe is a blend of the two styles described here: the over-the-top fillings and tidy, symmetrical appearance of Cafe Santiago's version, and the full-on spicy sauce of A Regaleira.
To a large stockpot over high heat, add beef bones, shank, onion, carrot, chilies, bay leaves, garlic and water. Bring to the bowl, reduce heat and allow to simmer for 1.5 hours.
Strain stock, discarding solids. Set stock aside.
To large stockpot over medium heat, add butter, onion and garlic. Saute, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and translucent, about five minutes. Add tomato paste, stirring frequently, until combined and oil begins to re-emerge, another five minutes. Add reserved stock, beer, milk, mustard, piri-piri, salt and cornstarch. Increase heat slightly, stir to combine and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for five minutes or so until slightly reduced and somewhat emulsified. Using an immersion blender or via pouring mixture into a blender, blend until thoroughly uniform and emulsified. Return to stockpot and allow mixture to simmer until reduced by nearly approximately a third, is thick, spicy and meaty, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
To a griddle or a frying pan over medium-high heat, add the fresh sausage links and linguiça and fry on both sides until done, about five minutes. Remove and set aside. Increase heat to high, add steaks and sear on both sides, about a minute on each side. Set aside. When cool enough to handle, halve linguiça and sausage links lengthwise.
While molho is still simmering, prepare the sandwiches. On a large oven tray, arrange six slices of toasted bread. Top each with one slice of mortadela, half a linguiça, two halves of a sausage link, one steak, one slice of ham and a slice of bread. Drape four slices of cheese over each sandwich, covering it completely. Assemble sandwiches on tray and bake at a high heat or broil until cheese is soft, but not bubbling, about five minutes.
To serve, put one francesinha in a shallow bowl and pour approximately 3/4 cup of the molho directly over the sandwich.
Are you in Chiang Mai? Want to learn about northern Thai food? Or perhaps even buy an original print such as the one above? Then be sure to stop by my exhibition, Ancient Roots and Culinary Crossroads, on display at Tamarind Village until until May 31.
There's nothing more fun than discovering a new noodle dish. That is, unless that noodle dish has a funny name.
Ban Na Ton Jan, located in the far north of Sukhothai Province, is a beautiful village that's home to an award-winning homestay programme. But more importantly, it's also home to khao poep (ข้าวเปิ๊บ), a unique noodle dish, the name of which is pronounced a lot like "cow burp".
resulting in a neat package -- something of a vegetable-filled wonton. The noodle is then served in a bowl of homemade pork broth, topped with an egg that has been steamed in the same fashion, and a couple slices of barbecue pork, and garnished with coriander and chiffonaded sawtooth coriander (shown at the top of this post).
Khao poep combines ingredients and techniques I've encountered elsewhere in the Tai culinary world, but is not a dish I've encountered anywhere else. That's because the eponymous owner claims to have invented it. Yay (grandma) started selling khao poep nearly 40 years ago, and today the dish has become associated with Ban Na Ton Jan.
It may look like a fried noodle dish, but in reality it's more like a 'dry' noodle soup.
topped with bit of broth, some ground pork and vegetables, and allowed to steam. When soft, they're removed from the steamer, topped with a couple slices of barbeque pork, ground peanuts, crispy deep-fried pork fat and a healthy drizzle of garlic oil. The dish is served on a banana leaf with section of lime, along with the usual optional noodle condiments: fish sauce, sugar, dried chili. Why banana leaf? An ancient tradition? A dogmatic adherence to the Old Ways? "We don't have to wash the dishes," according to Yay Khrueang's daughter. "It's less work."
Being generally food-obsessed, and in the course of travelling to new places, I've often wished for one thing: to encounter some sort of introduction to the local cuisine, something that goes beyond the cursory descriptions found in your average guidebook or Wikipedia entry. Ideally something with pretty photos and perhaps a bit of interactivity. Something that puts the cuisine in context, touches on the culture and history, and highlights a few must-eat dishes.
With the kind support of Chiang Mai's Tamarind Village, I've been lucky enough put together my fantasy introduction to the cuisine of Thailand's north. I'd never call myself an expert on northern Thai food, but in nearly 20 years of visiting the region, eating the food, talking with cooks, cooking with cooks, and writing about the cuisine for books, newspapers and magazines, I've assimilated a fair bit of information and photos on the topic. I've sifted through all this, and have put together what I think is a pretty solid introduction to a cuisine that few outside the Thai-speaking world know much about.
If I were visiting northern Thailand for the first time and wanted to know what to eat, it's the introduction I'd want to encounter.
The exhibition opens on February 28 and runs until May 31.
It's no secret that the Thais love noodles. Noodles are some of the most ubiquitous dishes in the country, available on nearly every street corner and in just about every restaurant. And it's easy to understand why people love them: they're cheap, satisfying, customisable, and come in a huge variety of shapes and forms, and from a variety of culinary and cultural influences.
Yet despite all this, I have to admit that I've never been crazy about Thai noodles.
I'm a rice man. I'll almost always opt for a plate over a bowl. And being a fan of savoury, salty, spicy flavours, I've long found that Thai noodles tend towards the sweet end of the spectrum. Given that noodles are so ubiquitous and cheap in Thailand, I've also found that they're frequently made with poor quality ingredients, the worst culprit being broth made from MSG-laden powder. Yet occasionally, when pointed in the right direction, I encounter a bowl that makes me reconsider my allegiance to rice.
which the owner suggested I couple with what he called poh, flat, squiggly egg-and-wheat noodles.
It was exactly what Thai noodles should be: rich, fragrant and balanced — the bowl barely needed any additional seasoning. And no wonder: as the owner was happy to share, he makes his own broth from scratch with bones (chicken and pork), bags of dried spices and fresh herbs -- not a cube of Knorr to be seen.
These include similar soups revolving around pork bones and pork stomach, as well as the rather elusive khao tom pet (ข้าวต้มเป็ด), rice soup with braised duck.
serving old-school-style "bag" coffee and sweet toasted buns with coconut jam.
But it'd be a pity not to order the noodles.
Japanese-style sukiyaki has had a foothold in Bangkok for several decades now, with the restaurant laying claim to being the first to serve the do-it-yourself hotpot dish having opened back in 1955. This has seemingly left enough time for Thais to put their own unique spin on the dish, and today there are a couple unique variations on sukii, as its known in Thailand, ranging from a one-serving street stall version to my personal favourite, sukii haeng, a fried 'dry' version.
But it's a solid, if not outstanding version of the dish.
Like elsewhere, the dish takes the form of mung bean vermicelli wok-fried with napa cabbage, green onions, egg and meat -- here chicken, pork or beef. The fried version comes from the truck somewhere between wet and dry, and the highlights here are the tender, marinated meat -- the beef version in particular is great -- and a savoury/spicy all-you-can-eat dip.
They do a couple other dishes here, including a mediocre kuaytiaw khua kai, wide rice noodles fried with chicken and egg, but the cleverest game plan is to stick with the sukii.

Building confidence and learning new skills can take many forms, including building your own bicycle.
To that end, the PPL Foundation has announced a $25,000 grant for the Earn-A-Bike program at The Common Wheel in Lancaster to support six 5-week sessions of hands-on mechanical courses for children. Two of the six courses will be girls' classes. The program allows participants to learn the basics of bicycle maintenance and safe riding through supervised work on their own donated bike.
The Common Wheel grant was one of more than 70 announced today (6/28) across the PPL service territory to support efforts to improve education, develop the future workforce and revitalize communities.
YouthBuild AmeriCorps, a program run by United Community Services for Working Families, received a $19,500 grant for a YouthBuild Construction Lab. The new lab will allow young adults in the Berks County area who did not complete high school to acquire additional trade skills.

Q: How to export whole file into a namespace in typescript? I'm porting a library to TypeScript and I experience some difficulties with declaration files.
I have a something.ts file which contains some definitions.
I also have a index.d.ts in the root of my project.
In my original index.js there are clause like:
exports.accounts = require('./accounts.js')

I'd like to do something like:
export * as accounts from './accounts'

But apparently I can't, why? What am I missing? It strongly feels like a important missing feature in order to migrate projects incrementally.
Thanks.

EDIT
By the way I tried to do:
declare namespace accounts {
    export * from './accounts'
}

But it does not work either.
I don't want to create a .d.ts file in addition the the .ts file I already have and which contains my functions definition.

« open hack day at Yahoo!
This past weekend, i went to FOO Camp – Tim O'Reilly's annual sleepover gathering of geeks in the backyard of his office. (Yes, i camped in an office park.) Because some consider it an elite event (you must be invited), i get squirmy about screaming, OMG this weekend was unbelievable! But the truth is, it was. I can't do justice in providing a recap, but the conversations were quite illuminating and i felt refreshed, especially because i got to meet so many new and interesting people. One of the most fascinating of such new connections was Moshe Cohen from Clowns Without Borders. Laughter really is the best medicine. Speaking of which, there was much werewolf and a reverse scavenger hunt in cahoots with Ms. Jane. I even got to see Greg Stein give birth to a baby girl to break a tie! I'm really a big fan of connecting people through play and i love watching Jane do magic in engaging an audience. It really is great when people who should know each other first meet through play. One of the coolest things about Werewolf is that there is an intimacy that provides furtile ground for future professional conversations. I'm a strong believer that meaningful ties require more than just a work connection.
While i may have hosted far too many hours of Werewolf, i did also help host a session on teens misbehaving and attended many other talks. My favorite was a broad discussion about the future of IM hosted by Master Artur. I also got a prototype of a Chumby to hack. I haven't fucked with it yet but i'm super impressed by the cutsie-ness of the device, the shwag, the octopus, the name. There's just something that's so endearing about it. And it's fuzzy! Speaking of fuzzy, how much do you love Tim wearing my hat?? But anyhow, i will play with the Chumby and get back to you.
To get to FOO this year, i did a roadtrip with Kareem and Graeme from Fox. The conversation was unbelievably fun and uber geeky (in that delicious kind of way). Plus, we stopped at In-N-Out twice and i got to play with a really fun GPS toy that Kareem calls Peaches.
Returning for a moment to the issue of elitism, i want to highlight Bar Camp. Bar Camp started out as an alternative for FOO and some framed it as the gathering for people who are not "cool enough." There was animosity, jealously, and disappointment attached to it. It made me feel all guilty for going to and loving FOO. And then i moved to LA and connected to the Bar Camp folks here who have used that concept to build a community of geeks who gather monthly for food and are stoked to find ways to connect. Regardless of its origins, Bar Camp is an unbelievable mechanism for members of local communities to get to know the geeks amongst them. I'm completely in awe of how rapidly this meme has spread to cities around the world. During Bar Camp Earth this weekend, there were Bar Camps in Lithuania and India! In the next couple of months, there will be Bar Camps in places like Johannesburg and Shanghai. There may even be one near you.
One of the main reasons that FOO is closed is that it needs to be small to work. It was definitely pretty big this year, but still manageable. But it wouldn't work with 1000 people even though there are certainly thousands of geeks who would benefit from such community building. The cool thing about Bar Camp is that it's allowing many more people to enjoy the #1 benefit of FOO: connecting with interesting people. While FOO certainly has many Internet celebrities, Bar has people in your local community. The biggest value of both types of events is that they are doing so much to develop and enrich the geek community. While blogs and online connections are great, there's nothing like physical co-presence.
Rules:You have 60 minutes to "find" these objects.You can only use the 10 objects your team already has-no trading, no substitutions.You can hack and mod your objects any way you want.You cannot use an object to represent more than one item on the list.
'Furtile' makes me think of a field full of ninjas.
::laugh:: Obviously, that should be "fertile" but somehow, that's not what came out at 2AM.
Perhaps FOO camp wouldn't be so elitist if people who were invited rotated. You get an invite say every 2 years, allowing other people to go, and mixing of groups to ensure good quality discussion.
I type this as an outsider, and never likely to attend such an event.
Alison – actually, invites do rotate and they make an effort to have at least 1/2 of the people be totally new every time. This year, they doubled the number of attendees because they couldn't narrow down who to invite. Of course, people get really upset when they aren't invited back the next year. When Tim proposed inviting no one from this year back next year but inviting all new people instead based on the recommendations of those who attended, the entire room booed. ::sigh:: I can't even imagine how hard it is to choose who to invite back and who not to. So many emotions involved.
Barcamps in India (infact in many cities in India, hyderabad, bangalore, delhi, mumbai, pune) have happened before Barcamp Earth 🙂 I co-organized two barcamps in hyderabad myself and attended the one in bangalore.

Neighbors React To Woman Arrested For Torturing Children
Filed Under:Arrest, kids, placerville, Torture
PLACERVILLE (CBS13) — Patricia Taylor has been adopting and fostering children for years, now the 63-year-old is accused of torturing those children. Things were so bad, deputies say one of the girls ran away to her older sisters house.
"Those poor kids had to have just been living in fear," one neighbor, Susan Collins, said.
Once the 14-year-old was able to escape, she told deputies about years of abuse. When they went to check on the other three girls Taylor adopted, they all had similar stories of torture and abuse.
ALSO: 18-Year-Old Placerville Resident Dies In El Dorado County Crash
Neighbors have different opinions on the allegations, but most agree, Taylor's home always stuck out.
"The place always kind of looked like that. A shamble," Steve Bolton said.
"Windows all closed. Every blind shut. Never saw any signs of life. I don't think I'd leave my cat there. I don't understand how these kids were left there for so long," Collins said.
As a woman who spent her life taking in kids, some say they want to hear Taylor's side of the story before rushing to any conclusions.
"I've always had a great admiration for her because she takes in a lot of foster kids," neighbor Kim Buchanan said.
"We thought she was doing a great thing," Bolton said.
But others have been worried about the kids in this home for years. So worried, a few even called Child Protective Services.
"I said somebody needs to do a welfare check. Somethings not right at this house. I just know it," Collins said.
Now, Taylor is in jail and her four daughters are in protective custody.

More on less; privacy that is.
I'm not sure if I am overacting about this but this just makes me indescribably mad. Today on /. was an article about a speech given by the founder of Facebook in which he [Jowitt] states:
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and chief executive of Facebook has said that people no longer have an expectation of privacy thanks to increasing uptake of social networking.
Given the recent actions of Facebook summarily altering all users privacy settings away from their defaults to a completely open setting, I must agree that Zuckerberg thinks we don't expect privacy. What is so frightening is that there are plenty of people that will tow this line and resign their rights to their own privacy. These individuals, I trust, know not what they do. But in the end what they do is to pave the way for for our lawmakers to legislate away our rights because heck, we don't want them anyway. Zuckerberg is myopic. Not all people use Facebook. Not all people that use Facebook discard the expectation of privacy and many people will never use Facebook because they cherish their privacy.
Is Zuckerberg educated beyond his intelligence or was early American history missing from his curriculum at Exeter and Harvard?
More funny.
Dont let Google fool you…


This spring break, I was lucky enough to spend the week with my cute boyfriend at Harvard. I loved exploring the Cambridge area and Boston with my best friend. The timing was also perfect because my parents and sister were in the area checking out colleges, so I got to see them, too! I've already posted about my amazing experience at the Her Campus Headquarters, but here are the rest of the pictures I took on the trip.
We had our first date night in months at this super cute restaurant.
Brendan was placed into his house at Harvard (sadly, there are little to no similarities between the Harvard houses and Hogwarts houses) just a couple weeks before I got there, so he got to show me around his home for the next three years.
My sister was so sweet to invite me to come on a college tour with her. I wasn't impressed by Boston University when I had toured it my sophomore year of high school, but this time around I was more than impressed. Plus, it was a really cool experience to tour one of my sister's dream schools with her.
My parents took me and Brendan out to dinner a couple times. The last night, we went to John Harvard's in Harvard Square.
Seriously... How cute is my sister?


Last time my stalking was a rather random one. After meeting a reader, I jotted some notes, pondered the kind of person he/she is, and then perhaps waited past several stations for the next target. I felt like being too personal. If I truly believe in the magic of connection between author, reader and traveler, I figured, I should let the books decide whom I meet, how far I go and when to take off.
So I am developing a Stalker prescription through which any potential flaneur can try to follow, especially those who like reading Walter Benjamin but are too afraid to take the first stroll wandering around the city aimlessly.
Step#1: Follow the person whom you see with a book in hand.
Rule: Only books. No newspaper, magazine, crossword puzzle or Sudoku.
Step#2: Take a ride with him/her throughout the entire trip within UBahn.
Rule: Basically from where the person rides on-board to where he/she takes off. Of course if the person is just changing lines, you can follow through.
Step#3: Approach the reader. Get basic information like the title, author, UBahn destination and so on.
Tip: Pay attention to time. Probably the trip is too short for a detailed discussion into the relation between psychoanalysis and deconstructionism.
Step#4: Get off the ride and say goodbye to your friend. Now you are in platform. Look around and stalk on the next person who has a book in hand.
Rule: This is a test of your connection (we call it yun fan in Chinese, you may see it as "fate") to the book. Don't think, just follow the immediate next you see.
I need some warm up before interviewing. And she took just one station so that I didn't have time to talk to her. I have to find next to start.
What a day. The first book I met is "Aggression als Chance" by Rüdiger Dahlke. It is read by a lady standing at the corner of a tumbling cabinet. Before taking on board, what I first noticed was her large "tote (which can mean "dead" if perceived in German and with the title of her book) bag". It looks heavy but she somehow managed to take them together with the book in hands.
People say: "Like father, like son". But this time I would have to say "Like book (title), different reader." Not only can we not see any clues of aggression or violence in the lady, she actually gave me a very delightful impression by smiling all the way through my interview. To her, reading in U-Bahn is as easy to focus as listening to a headphone. While the book is about psychotherapeutically justifying aggression as original energy for life, she said "It is like a spiritual thing." How lightly does that sound! Now you know how different readers and their book can be.
Medicine, sociology, politics and film. What shall one do after studying all those professions? Yes, of course: crime fiction writer. Perhaps it is this kind of craft that enchant a man to take nothing but a crime fiction for a ride. But that's not all it takes. Jussi Adler-Olsen is a Danish author who gained an insight into extreme psycho illness from grewing up with his psychiatric father. He also opened second-hand book shop, turned comic books into collectables, edited and published Denmark's first comic book encyclopedia "Komiklex", and wrote two books on Groucho Marx. Isn't he himself, like the title of his book, The Keeper of Lost Causes?
The 2007 book is translated into German lately in title "Erbarmen" (Danish title: Kvinden i buret). Under his depiction, the protagonist is under a mysterious torture that she is trying to keep herself from going insane. One can easily imagine the author's childhood experience in madhouse companying his father. Now our reader in U-Bahn gets his book from his father as a present. What kind of influence can that be?
Often the reader is as interesting as the author. At first I followed Claire with her book "Et mon cœur transparent" by "Véronique Ovaldé, she took a seat in a bench full of people reading, then she decided to put away her book. Instead, she took out some kind of chewing gum or candy and did a little day dreaming.
Claire is a professional psychologist and she also act in theatre as an interest. She especially likes the poetic tone of the novel and its subtle twist in gender relationship between husband and wife. I noticed that her bookmark is on page 32. She said that she picked up the book just yesterday but the book was a birthday present 1 year ago. I was thrilled by the impulse of picking up a book received one year ago for a ride, and she explained that it is probably because she wants to get refreshment from her work as a psychologist.
I think possibly there is also some kind of metamorphosis going on in her. And I am pretty sure it is not a piece of furniture, probably something in a theatre?
The station is ample and only a few people are waiting for a train. People can finally read in silence. Some people take the opportunity to indulge themselves into intellectual pondering. The environment is just as good as a library. Lately the #Occupy_ movement makes me wonder: where can't people occupy and transform it into an intellectual and social symposium?
Andrej is a student who was brought by his parent from Ukraine to Berlin some 20 years ago for the education system in Germany. He now studies (something like) Culture and Technology in HU, often finding topic to research on the relationship between humanities and technology.
The book he was reading: "Von Lust und Freude" by Bettina Dessau, Bernulf Kanitscheider. According to him, it is about hedonism and it raises ethical and social question on how people orient their life according to pleasure and desire. I do think that in our narcissistic society, people tend to center life around their own desire. Therefore it is especially pleasing to talk to Andrej because he is a curious young man who also asked me back about my background. It then develops into a tiny talk about education… learning always attract people's attention, and that may be how we can break the hedonism!
Next: With all due respect, really. I found that many of my interviewees were reading quite the fore part of their book. Co-incidence? Or does it shows that books are really not meant to be finished all the time? I would like to find out. Also, I want to dig deeper into the content of the book. So far I have been doing too much internet research.

Yehuda Nir
A Lost Childhood
Sep 27, 1991	- West-Indisch Huis, Herenmarkt 97, Amsterdam
In the lecture series American Literature Today, the John Adams Institute will present an evening with the psychiatrist and author Professor Yehuda Nir.
Yehuda Nir was born in 1930 in Lwow, Poland, a happy child in an affluent Jewish family. The war brought his privileged existence to an end. In 1942 his father was murdered by the Germans. Yehuda, his mother and sister left Lwow and managed with guile, cunning and amazing luck – using several different disguises – to evade the Germans and stay out of concentration camps. A Lost Childhood is a gripping account of these years.
In 1948 Nir joined the Israeli Army and fought in the War of Independence, in 1958 he graduated from the Hebrew Medical School in Jerusalem, in 1959 he arrived in the US to train is psychiatry. He worked as Chief of Child Psychiatry at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Cornell Medical College.
Nir and his wife, psychologist Dr. Bonnie Maslin, collaborated on two self-help books and worked together in private practice. He served on the executive board of the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors.
Because Yehuda Nir especially wants the younger generation never to forget the atrocities committed by the Germans, he decided to give every Dutch and Flemish secondary school a copy of A Lost Childhood for their libraries or to be used as classroom texts. The books were presented to the Minister of Education, Jo Ritzen, during Mr. Nir's visit to the Netherlands.
Yehuda Nir died in 2014 at the age of 84. Read his NY Times obituary here.
The evening was moderated by Max Arian.

Home > The Regiment > Regimental Band
Grenadier Side Drummer
(Review Order)
The Band of the Grenadier Guards is one of the world's premiere military bands and has a long and distinguished history.The first mention of music in the Regiment is a Royal Warrant issued by King Charles II in 1685, the year of the birth of Bach and Handel, authorising the maintenance of twelve Hautbois in the King's Regiment of Foot Guards in London.
The Regiment's music was then gradually expanded by the addition of other instrumentalists; three more Hautbois were added in 1699 and two French Horns in 1725, according to the St James's Evening Post, Bugle Horns costing £27 were added in 1772.
By 1783 the Band had attained the perfect balance of two Oboes, two Clarinets, two Horns and two Bassoons - a mere eight players. But the strength of the Band increased rapidly in the latter part of the 18th Century so that in 1794 it is recorded as comprising one Flute, six Clarinets, three Bassoons, three Horns, one Trumpet, two Serpents and 'Turkish Music'. (This being Negro time-beaters who played the Bass Drum, Cymbals and Tambourine).
In the 19th Century many notable changes took place as new instruments and techniques were invented; in 1848 the Band listed two Flutes, one Piccolo, three Eb Clarinets, eight Bb Clarinets, three Bassoons, four French Horns, a family of Trumpets, one Althorn, three Tambourines, two Ophicleides and Drums. Still later were added Cornets, Bass, Euphonium, Flugel Horn and Saxophones and by 1858 the Band must have sounded much as it does today.
During its long history the Band has made many tours abroad including: USA and Canada, France, Italy and North Africa, Gibraltar, Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Germany, Switzerland and many short visits to France and Belgium.
The Band is permanently based at Wellington Barracks, London, from where its established strength of 49 Musicians are able to provide musical support to the British Army primarily through participation in State and Ceremonial occasions.
These include The Queen's Birthday Parade, the daily Guard Mounting Ceremony in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, at Investitures, State Banquets, State Visits and at many of Her Majesty's engagements at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and elsewhere.
The Band shares these duties with the Bands of the other Foot Guards Regiments - and together these form the 'Massed Bands' for The Queen's Birthday Parade and other ceremonial occasions on Horse Guards Parade in London.
The Band are also able to provide a concert band, marching band, orchestra, dance band, a fanfare of trumpets and a trio from within their strength of forty nine. The band is formed with male and female musicians.
Although the Band is permitted to tour abroad, to broadcast, to make records and to undertake private engagements its main function is that of a Regimental Band.
In the event of War the whole Band provides essential war-time reinforcements as medical orderlies.

Democrats ready to cash in on green biz
By Daryl Montgomery and Jack Kemp
<?xml encoding="UTF-8">Robert Novak reports that the Democrats (and bill co-author John McCain) in Congress are ready to push through Kyoto-like clean air penalty legislation, despite the objections of Detroit Congressman John Dingell who will become the chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee. The article states,
"According to industry sources, Dingell has privately advised auto industry lobbyists to prepare for the worst. House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi is making carbon emission legislation a priority, and Dingell has warned Detroit that she expects him to move a bill through his committee."
But the article offers a ray of hope in its conclusion. , a public level of understanding that might not occur until the environmentalists and their Democrat friends in Congress may not agree to adjust to until after a new environmental overkill creates its own set of problems. Mr. Novak concludes,
"Ultimate salvation from U.S. self-destructive behavior may come from the real world. Most European Union countries, suffering higher energy costs imposed by the Kyoto pact, cannot meet that treaty's emission level requirements. Furthermore, China is on pace to exceed U.S. emissions by 2010, meaning that unilateral U.S. carbon controls will have little impact on global emissions while driving American jobs to China. This downside of Pelosi's green determination ought to resonate in union halls and coalfields. However, American industrialists, while wringing their hands, are not making their case."
There is another aspect to this passion for environmentalism: green business and stock profits. We have experienced a sort of green stock boom, even with companies that have little in the way of new, competitively priced alternative fuel or solar power capacity in sales. In the Dot Com 1990s, computer companies that did this were called "story stocks" and their products were known as "vaporware." Recall DNC Chairman Terry McCauliff's profits in Global Crossing's undersea cable bubble stock. The Sierra Times recalls that
"On the other hand, the sleazy Terry McCauliff, chairman of the DNC made eighteen million from a hundred thousand dollar deal with the now bankrupt Global Crossing."
I believe we are experiencing much of the same game today, a slightly different form of old wine in new bottles - from Nancy Pelosi's political vineyard. The difference today is that a software company could not go to Congress and ask for a subsidy based on its non-existing product being good for the environment, for the children of Hillary's "It Takes a Village" to breathe.
On December 20, 2006, Former Clinton Sec. of Agriculture Mike Espy, who resigned that post in a mid-1990s scandal involving allegedly illegal gifts from Arkansas' Tyson Foods , has been named to the board of Alternative Energy Sources, a startup ethanol producer.
According to Yahoo Finance, Alternative Energy Resources has no profits, no revenue, cash of $8.75 million, and a share price of $1.10 as of Dec. 26, 2006. The company, founded in 2006, hopes to build ethanol plants, according to its Yahoo Finance Profile. It wants to compete with agriculture giant Archer Daniels Midland and other big players. As Zell Miller said at the 2004 Republican Convention, "With what? Spitballs?"
What the company apparently plans to use is a Democrat with friends among the Friends of Bill and Hillary in the Congress. Perhaps they will create some plants at taxpayer expense in the future, but in the meantime a nice government grant which would boost the stock price and advance their "story" for shareholders would help. This could have the makings of another Enron.
To quote Novak's article again,
"Green extremists would prefer the severe legislation proposed by Sen. Barbara Boxer, the new chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee."
Barbara Boxer was a stock broker before she was a politician. While a Senator, she made some quick profits in at least sixty six energy stock transactions during 2000, including shares of Halliburton.
What a coincidence! Former energy stock trader Barbara Boxer has a new plan to change emissions and energy usage in the US. I haven't seen such a coincidence since a guy named Doc wanted to play me in a friendly game of poker with a deck he "just happened to have on him." I declined and I would suggest the rest of you do the same with this Renewable Energy Stock Crusade. Wait. Can't say "Crusade" these days. Make that Renewable Energy Stock Questionable Project.
(The author is not the former politician of the same name.)

Effect of humic acid and yeast on the yield of greenhouse cucumber

Receive Date: 27 July 2018, Revise Date: 05 November 2018, Accept Date: 25 November 2018
Purpose: Cucumber is a very sensitive plant even under standard conditions, and its fruit, reaches the harvest stage rapidly. In addition to, in Yemen a lot of fertilizer and fungicide chemical have used during the production. For this purpose, effect of exogenously applied of bio-stimulators (humic acid and yeast) was examined. Research method: Cucumber HATEM F1 Cultivar was used as plant material. Plants were grown during the clean horticulture practices under polyethylene greenhouse condition. The experiment designed as completely randomized blocks design (RCBD). Humic acid at 0, 100 and 300 mg L-1, as well as yeast at 0, 2000 and 4000 mg L-1, sprayed once alone or in combination. Findings: As compared to control, humic at 100 mg L-1 alone increased the yield about 14.88%. Yeast at 4000 mg L-1 alone offered the significantly (P≤0.05) highest of the plant (88.2%) and higher yield (91.00%). Yeast at 2000 mg L-1 significantly increased leaves DM% (26.6%). Yeast significantly increases chlorophyll SPAD. The interaction of 100 humic × 4000 mg L-1 of yeast increased the yield by 168.26% than the control. Research limitations: Further studies were needed to clarify the interaction effect of both substances by using the higher modern technique. Originality/Value: The finding obtained from this study could probably use to manage and successfully applied to the production of organic cucumber. Moreover, it could be suggested that the combination between yeast at 4000 mg L-1 and humic at 100 mg L-1 is the best for the productivity of cucumber.

Members of the NetBeans Dream Team have identified the following problems in the NetBeans infrastructure and suggests the solutions below.
The "DRAFT" list below comes from an e-mail received recently from Tom Wheeler, so instances of "I" mean Tom. Once other dream team members have added and commented, the draft status will change. The DRAFT text is simply there right now to indicate the list below is not complete yet.
Problem: (Tom) Changes to infrastructure are often poorly communicated (see Ivan/Emilian's recent thread on nbdev, which Wade forwarded to the list). This apparently even affects people inside of Oracle, and is much worse for people in the community since don't have access to intranet, company meetings, meeting developers in the cafeteria at lunchtime, etc. Additionally, changes to infrastructure seem to be made without regard to how it will affect work done by others. As an example, I have easily spent > 100 hours editing things in the FAQ. In the last five years, it moved from java.net Wiki to JSPWiki to Media Wiki and the Web-based mailing list archives have also recently changed. These changes have broken many links in the FAQ.
Further info needed: What kind of content on the site would be changeable by committers? What would the process be? What changes are dream team members suggesting it be possible to do by external committers?
The above proposal is a step in the right direction, but sounds like it's still limited to certain parts of the site. I don't see the point of establishing arbitrary borders. What if there are errors on the main pages of the NetBeans Web site? Reporting them on issue tracker takes much longer than simply fixing them. If there are sacred pages which the community simply cannot be trusted to edit regardless of what level of experience they have, at the very least it should be possible to check out or download a read-only copy of the site's current content so one can directly make all the desired changes at once and then submit the patch with an issue requesting that they be fixed.
Sometimes to slow and to much work to change a link, replace old pictures or add a new sentence. We don't need a full access to all pages (from my point of view), but I see so many pages with old content unresolved links and more. A fast change by a dream team member is (IMHO) useful.
Is it possible to transfer more an more page to a wiki structure (w/o showing the wiki path in the url)?
With the wiki infrastructure we have a good versioning system, we can see changes from users and can rollback unwanted/wrong content.
Problem: (Tom) No mirror sites for netbeans.org downloads (see my comments on this list). I have documented problems in which I was unable to download releases from the Akamai download system you use now, both from home and work. These problems are intermittent, but continue even now, and have prevented me from participating in 7.0 beta testing in any meaningful way.
This issue is solved. Thanks for bringing it up! issue 198654.
Don't make content management more complicated than it needs to be.
Test infrastructure changes in a staging area before putting them into production.
Revert infrastructure changes if they cause problems, then redeploy once those problems are fixed.
Problem: (Tom) Many people experience problems logging into the NetBeans web site (see #197854 #186660).
This has been a known issue for nearly than a year. Although there is a workaround (deleting domain cookies and active login sessions), it is not well known and certainly not obvious to even experienced people, so I expect the majority of users just give up. Although this has been marked as a P1 issue and has been corroborated by Martin Fousek, Jan Pirek, Jesse Glick, Tom Wheeler and Tim Boudreau, the issue does not list a single attempt from the Kenai team to diagnose or fix the problem. Their only response (a day after the issue was initially filed) seems to be "we deployed a new version last night" and "lets see how it goes." Jan Pirek stated that the problem continues and asked on March 30 that they look into it, but they have been unresponsive.
Proposed Solutions: Make the Kenai team responsive and accountable to important problems or consider replacing NetBeans Web site infrastructure with something better.
Problem: (Tom) Integration between mailing lists and forums is poor (#196415). See also this thread, where another user pointed out the same problem. According to Charles Bedon, he contacted the NetBeans Webmaster (Jan Pirek?) a few months ago and was told that they don't have enough people to correct "these problems."
Problem: (Tom) Annoying out of office notifications get sent to all subscribers of mailing list (#189253).
Problem: (Tom) Mailing lists seem to suffer from latency problems. There will be no messages for hours, then a dozen messages will all show up at once (i.e. within one minute of another). The message headers show messages having been delayed for several hours, though I cannot say defintively whether the problem is on NetBeans side or GMail (but I'd guess it is more likely NetBeans).
I have experienced it dozens of times and Javier said that he experiences it as well. (Tom).
Problem: (Ryan de Laplante) I have never seen any of my own posts to the NBDT mailing list show up in my inbox. Originally someone at Sun looked into it and it seemed like I am the only person with this issue. Over the years I changed email addresses once or twice and continue to have this issue. It doesn't bother me too much, but it is worth mentioning. All messages I send to the mailing list are delivered to everyone else.
