Today is John's 40th birthday! After the pre-birthday celebrations in Edinburgh last night, we aimed straight for the Lake District and our campsite Coniston Coppice Park.
We didn't stop along the route as we know we will be going back to the Lake District to explore it fully. We saw today's trip as a taster of the week we are yet to spend in the Lake District – it's a spectacular area. The only place we did stop was in Coniston itself to buy meat for the bbq. When in Cumbria, you have to buy Cumberland sausage, right? And where better than the local family butcher. Our little Outback Compact U gas portable bbq is so handy for a quick afternoon bbq! We bbq everything on it in a Teflon griddle pan that I got from Tesco for £7 (I even use it to toast bread on the gas hob in iVan). I just wash the pan when we're done and John wipes down the Outback Compact U before putting it back in it's case.
I can't tell you how happy we were with the campsite and the whole area around Coniston. The campsite is big and the pitches set in the woods, yet within 10 minutes walk you are next to Coniston Lake and the National Trust farmland where you walk amongst the grazing sheep!
This was the perfect place to spend a 40th birthday. The birthday boy was a happy camper.

With Saxton Freymann's delightful illustrations of people and animals playing, this innovative set of oversized 4 × 5¾–inch picture cards goes beyond games like Go Fish and Concentration. The object is to collect three-of-a-kind sets; rather than simply matching them, however, you can choose how you sort the cards to create your own sets. It might be monkeys, or frogs, or cats, but it could also be characters eating food, or wearing hats, or playing instruments, or having fun on wheels. There are many different mix-and-match elements among the 60 cards, stimulating both observational skills and logical thinking for players 3 and up.

Q: SELECT COUNT(*) returns 1 even if the request should return 0 When I'm trying to get the number of rows on a SQL request and if not, the connection that follow fails.
But in any case (also if the request should return 0), it returns 1.
Here's my code :
$str = 'SELECT count(*) FROM admins WHERE mail = ? AND mdp = ?';
$arr = array($mail, $pass);
$rqt = sendRqt($str, $arr);
$tab = $rqt->fetchColumn();
$cnt = count($tab);
echo $cnt;

I don't understand why there's no time it returns 0

A: The problem is the use of the php function count().
You already have the correct number in your $tab variable as a string (probably, depends on php configuration / version) so you can echo it or cast it to an integer to make sure it is a number.
However, in php:
count(0) === 1
count('0') === 1

See here for example.
You should remove count($tab).

A: the SQL "COUNT(*)" allways returns a row with the count (quantity) of values, so if you apply the php count() function, always will return 1 because there is one row that contains the value of the COUNT sql function

A: I believe COUNT() needs a column name.WRONG!!   count(*) should count all rows, but I still reccomend a column name like id or something.  You could also use an AS to make life a little easier
$str = 'SELECT count(`COLUMNNAME`) AS cnt FROM table WHERE ....

During this time Dutch and Joann had 4 children: Doug, Tim (KC), Herman Carl Jr. /Chip (Heather) and his daughter, Jolene Deutschlander. He is the proud grandfather to 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandson.
Dutch spent time on many military bases moving his family from the East to West coast. Among these: Quantico VA., Pensacola FL. Marine Corp Base, Camp Le June, USS Galveston, RS Wilkes Berra Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Pennsylvania, Camp Pendleton, Camp Hansen Okinawa, NROTC Unit at the University of Pennsylvania, Naval Amphibious Base Coronado California, MAC-V Headquarters Saigon, Vietnam and rounding out his career at the Marine Corps Base Twenty-nine Palms, California.
Dutch retired from the Marine Corps, as a Lieutenant Colonel in the fall of 1975. While in the military Dutch received the Bronze Star Medal and the Joint Service Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service and Achievements, among many other service awards.
Upon retirement from the military, Dutch so much enjoyed 49 days of skiing at Brian Head Resort during the ski season of 1975-1976, he moved to Brian Head in the fall of 1976 to make this his permanent home and embark on a retirement career. Along with starting and running a property management company, Dutch served Brian Head Town as a Councilman and Mayor for 40 years from 1977 to 2017.
During this time Dutch, along with his two eldest sons Doug and Tim, founded a ski retail business, Brian Head Sports. While serving as Mayor, Dutch served on the Utah State Community Development Block Grant Committee, the Utah State Scenic Byway Committee, and as a representative to the Five Counties Area of Government. Brian Head Town and Dutch received the Rural Water Award of Excellence in 2009, for his efforts in water conservation. During his years of serving as an elected official, Dutch was instrumental in initiating and improving the infrastructure of the sewer, water, and trash systems in Brian Head.
Dutch is enjoying RE-retirement. He enjoys long, adventurous road trips and has traveled to many of the National Parks and other scenic wonders of the United States. Dutch was an avid river runner, with his sons who were river guides and enjoyed many a trip down the Grand Canyon Colorado River as well as other Western Rivers. Dutch now enjoys family time and gatherings, and is often hosting out of town family guests to the beautiful Southern Utah area.
Dutch would like to thank Iron County Fair for this honor. It has been his pleasure to meet and serve so many in the Southern Utah Communities.

The good, the mad and the ugly ... not to mention Jeremy Clarkson: The golden years of motoring journalism?
This book recalls the golden age (in the author's view) of motoring journalism, during the last two decades of the 20th century, with additional material from before and after. Although the book is about cars it should amuse, irritate or even inform people who are not interested in cars at all.
This book takes a light-hearted look at what the author considers to have been the golden age of motoring journalism – the last two decades of the 20th century. As a writer and tester for Motor magazine, founding Editor of Fast Lane magazine, and a freelance journalist with a weekly column in The Daily Telegraph, Peter Dron has many tales to tell.
In these pages we meet industry moguls, unusual motoring journalists and various other passers-by. The reasons why it has all gone wrong, both for the motor industry and motoring journalism, are examined with candour. Although this book is essentially about cars and car people, the author ambitiously hopes that it may amuse, irritate or even inform people who are not interested in cars at all. If the readers are not amused, irritated or informed, the author does not mind in the least, provided they have bought the book with their own money rather than stolen it or acquired it by other means, fair or foul.

Hemispherx Biopharma Announces Commencement of a New 45 Subject Clinical Trial Combining Ampligen and Merck's Keytruda in the Treatment of Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
GlobeNewswire• February 11, 2019
OCALA, Fla., Feb. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc. (NYSE American: HEB), an immuno-pharma company focused on unmet medical needs in immunology and oncology, announced today the start at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in Pittsburgh, PA of a new clinical study supported by Merck that will combine the company's Ampligen with Merck's Keytruda for the treatment of recurrent, platinum-sensitive, ovarian cancer. The study will enroll up to 45 participants and be conducted at UPMC, which is sponsoring the study, by Robert Edwards, MD, director of the Ovarian Cancer Program at UPMC Magee Womens Hospital. The overall funding and support for the clinical trial and the supply of Keytruda is based upon a collaboration between Merck and UPMC. Hemispherx is not funding the clinical trial and its collaboration obligation relates to supplying the Ampligen needed for the clinical trial. Over the past year, Hemispherx has produced 16,000 vials of Ampligen, including all of the supply of Ampligen needed for this clinical trial. Hemispherx shipped Ampligen for the clinical trial to UPMC on January 29, 2019 and the first subject was enrolled. The Company believes the study will be an important and more extensive test of Ampligen as an immune system primer that can convert "cold" tumors into "hot" tumors, thereby making the formerly "cold" tumors more responsive to Keytruda. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03734692?term=rintatolimod&cond=Ovarian+Cancer&cntry=US&state=US%3APA&city=Pittsburgh&rank=1
This clinical trial will study how well Ampligen-based combination therapy works when given with Cisplatin and Keytruda in treating participants with recurrent ovarian cancer compared to historical controls. Drugs used in this combination therapy work by either direct antitumor activity, or by unleashing or enhancing the cancer immune responses that already exist. So called "checkpoint inhibitors" such as Merck's Keytruda interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread when present in a "hot" tumor microenvironment. The clinical trial tests whether the combination therapy will work better than Keytruda alone in treating participants with ovarian cancer. Studies from UPMC and the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, in human tumor explants, have demonstrated that Ampligen is a TLR3 restricted and targeted immune modulator that can facilitate the transformation of some "cold" tumor microenvironments into "hot" tumor microenvironments (Cancer Res. 2018 Aug 1;78(15):4292-4302).
"At Hemispherx we are determined to pursue a comprehensive R&D program focused on improved immune therapies for lethal malignancies such as recurrent ovarian cancer. We at Hemispherx are deeply grateful for the attention and support we are getting from Merck and the world-class ovarian cancer team at UPMC in this important major clinical trial," said Hemispherx CEO Thomas K. Equels. "We believe this clinical study at UPMC is an important step in Hemispherx' overall clinical plan in immuno-oncology and just one of the major milestones we have recently announced. We believe that the clinical trials that are now underway are very important to our company. We have seen a clear synergistic effect in our animal laboratory studies in several different solid tumors. Data from human tumor explants indicate this phenomenon may extend to humans. In addition to the already existing large IV safety profile, we have established that Ampligen is generally well tolerated intraperitoneally. To the extent this follows through in vivo with humans in these clinical trials, we believe the expected synergy with the checkpoint inhibitors in humans has the potential to position Ampligen as a medical translational breakthrough in immuno-oncology. We believe the Ampligen clinical data are important first and foremost to those in need of such enhanced immuno-therapeutic response in recurrent cancers as well as a long-term driver for stockholder value."

Interview with Marco Oppedisano
The acoustic guitar has long established itself as an integral part of classical culture. Its electric brother, however, has mostly been barred from traditional concert halls. Although the sonic exorcisms of Glenn Branca, expressing themselves in 'symphonies' of rambunctious feedback and violent distortion, may have demonstrated that there is a potential for the instrument away from the safety of the song format. And yet even today, it remains an oddball in the world of contemporary composition. Marco Oppedisano has made it his mission to improve this sorry state of affairs. In his oeuvre, the electric guitar serves as a mediator between genres like progressive rock, ambient, musique concrete, classical and sound art, comfortably conversing with a plethora of styles on eye level and finding surprising links between different scenes and ages. To Oppedisano, this is not so much the result of philosophical reflection or endless studio work – although some of his pieces on his by now three albums have been meticulously crafted in the studio over extended periods of time – but rather of listening attentively and without prejudice to the work of others and allowing these influences to subtly trickle into his own creations. Tesla at Coney Island, a collaboration with David Lee Meyers, brought this approach to a temporary acme, as it explored the intersection between quirky electronica and complex electroacoustics, resulting in a work of stimulating ambition and nocturnal beauty. And yet, his latest solo offering, Mechanical Uprising, again ups the ante. At least in terms of his own discography, the integration of the guitar into an avantgarde environment as well as the placing on equal footing of thematic progression and timbral development has rarely ever sounded this natural – Oppedisano has surrendered just a little bit of his love for muscular rock and infused the music with a subtle dose of spacious and richly associative electroacoustics and the effort has paid off: Mechanical Uprising is a work capable of luring in listeners from a variety of camps with a sound that feels both reassuringly recognisable and unlike anything you've ever heard. The fact that Oppedisano was mostly self-taught before studying music may partially explain for his personal style, which has, completely to his own surprise, secured him a spot in Ralph Gibson's formidable State of the Axe compendium of noteworthy guitarists. But mainly it is down to the workings of a uniquely idiosyncratic mind, which is capable of building bridges over a sea of confusion. As Oppedisano puts it himself in this interview: "These connections between rock and contemporary composition exist because it's all music. And there is no reason why they should not connect."
Will people occasionally find it strange that a contemporary composer should be working with an electric guitar rather than, say, a string quartet?
When I began music studies in the conservatory almost twenty years ago, there was very little electric guitar visible in the classical conservatory and very few recorded "serious" works in the contemporary repertoire that utilized it at all. Nowadays, the electric guitar has made mighty leaps and bounds in finding its way into the contemporary concert music world. I'm pleased to see the progression.
Have artists like Glenn Branca been important in terms of obtaining a "permission" to pursue this direction?
Interestingly, I had known of Branca, but did not become familiar with his music until after I started working with electric guitars exclusively a little over ten years ago. Personally, it was encouraging and influential to hear someone doing this type of innovative work with electric guitars coming from a musical sensibility I felt comfortable with. Also, I've had the pleasure of performing some of Branca's music and it was quite the experience on many levels.
In an interview, Chinese classical guitarist Xuefei Yang once said "To me, the guitar is my portable orchestra".
Having studied classical guitar, I can relate with this statement. My use of multitracking guitars stems from my love of all kinds of orchestral music. Working in electroacoustic music I have an electronic orchestra with an unlimited sonic palette at my disposal. I love the sound of multiple electric guitars. I often layer guitar sounds alone or in combination with other sounds, allowing for various sonic textures and colors.This is not so different from what orchestrators do and something I plan on exploring more.
Would you say there is a difference to the sound of your compositions because they were played with a guitar rather than a keyboard?
Yes, I would say there is a difference. I am very aware that music created on an instrument can definitely be influenced by the physical process required to perform on that instrument. And that is fine for me as there is still a lot that can be done with idiomatically, but I know that by deliberately looking at the guitar differently and thinking past what it can do, I'm less likely to fall into a rut. Alternate tunings, playing percussively, prepared guitar - wedging objects between the strings - manipulating feedback, and various other extended techniques are examples of ways of thinking about the instrument differently. The electric guitar is capable of a broad sonic spectrum and that has always been of interest to me. For as long as I can remember, I would experiment and see what else the guitar could do.
It is also important to mention that I do not discriminate when it comes to using guitar sounds in a piece. 'Clockwatcher I-III' from my new CD, Mechanical Uprising, is a good example of a piece that uses a wide variety of guitar sounds.
What will influence your decision to use a guitar or a different instrument for a particular section, then?
It depends on how I initially plan on using electric guitar in the piece. After a composition starts to really develop, I'm never totally sure what is going to happen. For example, a composition like 'Imaginary Portal' on The Ominous Corner was inspired by various radio samples. So, in my current music that utilizes other sounds than guitar, such as processed waveforms, voice samples, virtual instruments and samples, there is a symbiosis occurring between all sounds. With guitar driven compositions like 'Seven Pieces,' 'Triptych' or my work from Electroacoustic Compositions for Electric Guitar, I focus on how creative I can be with using only guitar sounds.
There are a lot of musicians out there who use the guitar to build ambient soundscapes, but they rarely leave the original sound-qualities of the instrument intact. With you, I am often under the impression that you really want people to hear that you're playing a guitar. Why is that?
With my last three CD releases; The Ominous Corner, Tesla at Coney Island with David Lee Myers and Mechanical Uprising, I've rediscovered playing the instrument again. I grew up a child of the 80's and technical rock guitar playing was what I focused on. Much of my guitar technique comes from this formative period in my life.
On my first release, Electroacoustic Compositions for Electric Guitar, a compilation of my electroacoustic work form 1999-2005, I became interested in using the guitar as a sound source and thinking unconventionally - prepared guitar, alternate tunings, extended techniques and so forth. I was interested in being ambiguous, with certain carefully placed moments that were obviously electric guitar. I think this anti-technique/ sound based approach was a reaction to the many years I spent focused on being technically proficient as a guitarist. I hit a wall with the constant emphasis on technique and wiped the slate clean regarding how I wanted to compose with electric guitar.
Now after all these years laying guitar and composing, I feel like I have finally found a form of expression and creativity that encompasses all aspects of my guitar playing, ability and experience in a genre of music that I enjoy the most, electroacoustic music.
I sometimes feel as though opposing tendencies are battling for supremacy inside your soul: One wanting to build rich, complex, polystylistic music. The other aiming at simplicity, purity and reduction.
I would prefer not to think of it as "battling for supremacy." I deal with whatever musical conflict by working it out in a way where I think it sounds good to my ears and sensibility. I go for a balance that I think works over time in a composition. A good amount of my compositional decisions are surprisingly rational, but I do my best to not make them sound like that.
You've stated that "I think I'm channeling everything I've ever heard when writing a piece." Does that mean that the more music you listen to, things are getting easier - because it expands your palette - or more difficult, because it means you have more music to gauge it against in terms of originality?
It just means that I think of myself being influenced by everything. I might spend an afternoon listening to jazz and then write music later in the day that although on the surface sounds nothing like jazz, might be influenced by it on a small level. I'd say it has something to do with an all-encompassing musicality. The influence of other music on my music isn't always obvious or direct.
I find that I listen to more music when I'm not in intense creative mode. Sometimes in between pieces, I will just listen to a variety of music for a week or two to get me out of my own head for a little while. Every once in a while, I'll make a great musical discovery and that might stimulate a few ideas. Listening to music is usually serious business so I need to make time for it. One can learn a lot by being quiet and listening closely.
Do you see a fusion of the two approaches of richness versus minimalism, in the sense of learning from a puristic approach in choosing your notes more carefully even when you're building opulent works?
Every note and sound is chosen very carefully in my music, no matter how dense or complex the moment or section may be.
And yet, "The Bumbling Seer" from your current album "Mechanical Uprising" may well be the most accomplished combination of these two tendencies and it also highlights another contrast in your work, namely of pulsation/motion vs stillness. How did that track take shape?
The track came about from some improvised and worked out two handed tapping guitar improvisations. Essentially, 'The Bumbling Seer' is a good example of a composition sculpted from improvisations. I spend considerable time tweaking and editing recorded material and I've developed a very personal way of composing that works for me.'The Bumbling Seer' is an example of a musique concrète work, so I am obviously not concerned with recreating it in a live performance – although every part of the piece is entirely playable. I've heard positively by some people that my music has an improvised quality although it is exacting and carefully thought out. In regards to "pulsation/motion vs. stillness," "The Bumbling Seer" is a short work - around a minute long - so it was fun challenge to create this sense of contrasting movement in a relatively short amount of time.
Can this tweaking and editing in the studio sometimes get in the way of your musical ideas?
From piece to piece, I will deliberately make some small changes in my process in order to keep things fresh. There are things that I do the same at the outset of every piece. Routine is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, I always arrange a palette of sounds in the session and select with my "paint brush" from that. I find when starting a new piece, preparation of materials is very important.
I do see the studio as a musical instrument and my studio and the technique involved do have a strong influence on how the music sounds, but this is why I enjoy recording guitar too because it provides a different perspective - it gets me playing and away from staring at the computer screen and creating with clicks of the mouse.
Where do you see a connection between contemporary composition and rock?
The connections exist because it's all music and there is no reason why they should not connect or coexist. I grew up listening to rock music and didn't really know much about classical music until I went to study music seriously in college. I was a predominately self taught electric guitarist whose introduction to the music conservatory was to study classical guitar. I did that seriously for two years and then started composing seriously. Composition opened up a whole new world and a significantly more satisfying one for me. I never expected to go in that direction.
In which way can these two spheres of influence benefit from each other?
Well, they can start by listening closely to what each has to offer. I've never liked music elitism and each genre has its own bad music to contend with, so nobody's perfect ... I get a different type of satisfaction listening to rock music than I do from classical music. As I mentioned earlier, now that the electric guitar has lots of crossover appeal, there is less of a divide between rock and contemporary classical music.
How do you develop themes over a longer stretch of music without merely copying and pasting?
It's a combination of craft, imagination and intuition. I'm not interested in telling stories per se with my music or utilizing rigid procedures to produce results, but I am interested in an imaginative real time flow, a sense of direction, and portraying various moods and sensations. Music is an abstract art and I don't have to necessarily explain the directions pieces take. The direction, form and sounds in a composition can be appreciated simply for what they are. From the perspective of compositional craft, I guess some of my decisions come from the idea of development - not so much in themes or motivic development in the traditional sense – but of musical ideas or gestures, however big or small. I'm interested in tension and release and how that is accomplished. A particular sound might take a piece into a direction I did not expect and I allow for this happen often, especially at a transitional point in a piece. Will an idea return later in the piece? I use some repetition, but I'm very careful about what I repeat and how I repeat it.
Lately, I have been interested in the associations made with my music to progressive rock music. I've never thought of my music as progressive rock, but I think the electric guitar riffing and soloing heard in my music allows for listeners to make this association.
You've stated that "I'm not sure I've made many wise musical decisions because most of them have been dictated by the art I wanted to create." Is that another way of saying that, for you, there is really no other option than being an artist no matter where that decision takes you?
Obviously I would have stopped being an artist long ago if I wasn't serious about it. Like many artists I constantly question what it is I am trying to achieve with my art. I think by asking questions like this, it has kept me going.
I've been very busy with my own music the last 10 years and am relatively satisfied with what I have accomplished creatively up to now. At this present time, I'm a new father to a baby daughter, so I've taken some time off creatively to experience this new and wonderful change in my life. I do have some musical ideas brewing, though …

Woman accused of sexually abusing Ventura minor
A 19-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing a minor, Ventura police said Monday.
The incident was reported Jan. 15, when a boy told police that the suspect, Savanah Hope Mayer, of Hesperia, had sexually assaulted him, officials said.
Ventura police said Mayer was an acquaintance living in the victim's home when he was assaulted. Investigators found additional evidence and arrested Mayer at her Hesperia home on Wednesday, police said.
She was transferred to Ventura County jail, where she was booked on suspicion of numerous charges involving unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, police said.

Gadhafi's Heirs: Dead Dictator's Sons Speak Out
Just one of Moammar Gadhafi's eight children is still unaccounted for following the Libyan dictator's death last week, and although he is currently wanted by the International Criminal Court, Libya's former heir apparent is still trying to reclaim his father's glory.
Saif Al-Islam Gadhafi, the London-educated son who was to succeed his father and carry on the dynasty is possibly still at large. Libya's interim government had said he was captured this weekend, but at the very same time the 39-year-old appeared on Syrian television."We continue our resistance.
I'm in Libya, alive, free and intend to go to the very end and exact revenge," Saif Al-Islam Gadhafi was heard saying on Syrian TV. "I say go to hell, you rats and NATO behind you. This is our country, we live in it, and we die in it and we are continuing the struggle."
The short message was broadcast on Syrian TV station Al-Rai on Sunday and was soon uploaded by several users onto YouTube. It's not clear if the audio-only message was broadcast live or was a recording. The Al-Rai station broadcasts into Libya, and in the past has broadcast messages from Moammar Gadhafi.
As the hunt for Saif intensifies, his brother Saadi Gadhafi, who escaped the country in September as rebel forces began to close in, has publicly lashed out about the death of his father and brother.Under house arrest in Nigeria, Saadi issued a blistering condemnation of the way his father was treated after capture.
"These barbaric executions and the grotesque abuse of the corpses make it clear that no person affiliated with the former regime will receive a fair trial in Libya," he said through his publicist.As news and video footage of his death surfaced, the United Nations' High Commission for Human Rights called for an investigation into the events surrounding his death; though video seems to show him in rebel custody, he allegedly died in "crossfire."Libya's acting Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril said that he would not oppose a full investigation under international supervision into his death, according to The Associated Press.
The fate of one of Gadhafi's other sons, Moutassim Gadhafi, is quite clear however: his body now lies with his father's on display in a meat refrigerator for all of Libya to see."This is his destiny because of all the evil he has done," one Libyan spectator said after lining up to see for himself the body of the man who ruled Libya for 42 years and his fifth son.All of the dictator's eight children lived their lives as lavishly and as ruthlessly as their father.
Three of the Gadhafi children — Moutassim, Khamis and Said al-Arab — have been killed in the revolution. Three more, Hannibal, Mohammed and Gadhafi's only daughter Aisha – once called the Claudia Schiffer of North Africa — are now living in exile in Algeria with Gadhafi's wife Safia.Across Libya there is little sympathy for anyone in the Gadhafi family.
The interim government officially declared the country liberated this weekend, and has promised to bring democracy.While celebratory gunshots rang out across the capital of Tripoli, it has been one non-stop party as Libya begins its transition to democracy. A new interim government is expected to be declared within a month, with elections for a constitutional assembly expected within eight months. – Yahoonews

Shelter Island's private roadside stands
By Caitlin Panarella
CAITLIN PANARELLA PHOTO
Open for business. One of Shelter Island's many roadside stands.
Part of being on Shelter Island, especially in the summer, is finding treats in unexpected places.
Such as some property owners with too much of something putting it out on street stands to manage the overabundance.
You might see anything, from blueberries to eggs to flowers — and what's up with firewood? — or all of the above and more. In contrast with your garden variety lemonade stand, these little booths are unmanned for most of the day. Those running an "honor stand" trust their customers will pay the correct amount and report they haven't seen many criminals among us taking advantage.
Ray and Eileen Kotula, veteran gardeners and longtime Island residents, spoke about the produce stand on their Worthy Way property. Mr. and Mrs. Kotula, both retired, grow a wide variety of vegetables in their garden, including lettuce, zucchini, tomatoes, beets, onions, mint, parsley, basil and peppers. In addition to the edible fare, they also grow flowers. It's easy to spot their stand, a rowboat filled to the gunwales with crops.
The Kotulas have had their garden for 35 years, which they started as a hobby when they first moved to Shelter Island. They put up the stand about 15 years ago to handle the surplus of their harvest. The stand has no set hours but is usually open from the end of June to the end of August.
One concern most people would have about leaving their bounty without supervision — will customers take advantage? "We've never had a problem with that," Mrs. Kotula said. "People are generally honest."
They've even had people knock on their door with an IOU or to ask for change.
Gardeners are not the only Islanders with something to sell. Rod and Robin Anderson also offer their surplus product to passersby on Midway Road. Given one chicken about 15 years ago as a gift, the Andersons now own a coop with 30 chickens and sell their extra eggs in a cooler at the side of the road.
"We always sell out," Mr. Anderson said. At $5 a dozen for fresh, organic eggs, it's no mystery why neighbors often call asking for more eggs after the cooler has been emptied. As the chickens lay year-round, the Anderson's stand is a 12-month-a-year operation.
Mr. Anderson did remember a dishonest customer. "There was definitely one time, about two years ago during the off-season, when there was money missing," he said.
He thought about installing cameras for surveillance, but that seemed "a bit extreme." Fortunately, as suddenly as the thieving began, it stopped.

More dancing, more drinking. We grow tired of the tiki club and wander out on to the street and into the cars. Giant Bodyguard, Antarctic Sister, MB and I get in one and everyone else gets in the other two cars. MB sits in front with GB as he puts on some music and AS and I share the back. AS tells me about her trip south that day and how she always misses everyone, but loves what she does. She parties like crazy her last night then sleeps as she goes back down to the end of the earth.
"Do your parents have any idea?" I ask. "No, I doubt it. But everyone else does. Everyone. When I leave, everybody goes back home. Since they're all going their own way, my parents think GB is taking a vacation, but we get on a plane together and go off somewhere for a couple of weeks away from my parents." "Very cool, dude." MB says to GB. The guys smile and nod their heads to the beat of the music.
We get back to the house and everyone files into the bedrooms. MB and I fall asleep moments after our heads hit the pillows.
The next morning (three hours later!) we're all up and eating breakfast. I'm not a coffee person, but I have been exposed to cappuccino like nowhere else on earth. AS is walking around the house saying goodbye to the house staff. Lots of hugs along with some tears from the newer ones. Boyfriend tells me the ones that have been with his family for years are used to her adventures but the newer ones think she's crazy and worry while she's gone.
MB and I talk about what we'll do next. We had a great time in Brugge with Boyfriend and Girlfriend but we don't want to go back there just yet. We want to go somewhere else. They've been incredibly kind and hospitable so we're just not sure how to go about approaching the subject. AS tells me she and GB are going to London and GB really likes MB so they want to know if we want to go.

In the opening statement for Africa Day on Tuesday, Yasmin Fouad, Egypt's Minister of Environmental Affairs, on behalf of the African Union, said: "We have, and will continue to engage and to seek landing grounds on the outstanding issues.
But we must flag our concern at the apparent reluctance by our interlocutors to engage on issues of priority to developing countries, as evidenced by the large number of such issues which have simply been pushed from session to session without any progress."
Africa contributes the least to global warming emissions yet is the continent most vulnerable to climate change, as witnessed by devastating natural disasters recently. Africa Day has been held at the conference every year since COP 17 in 2011 to rally support for the continent's cause.
"The climate disaster issues confronting the continent demand a predictable and unified response," said UN ASG Mohamed Beavogui, Director General of African Risk Capacity, an agency of the African Union that helps governments respond to natural disasters.
"Africa needs to move towards market-based innovative financing models to achieve a strong, united, resilient and globally influential continent. The future of Africa depends on solidarity."
Vera Songwe, Executive Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), said the ECA would support African countries to revise their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to attract private sector investments in clean energy.
"The lack of concerted and meaningful global ambition and action to tackle climate change poses an existential threat to African populations," Songwe said.
The Paris Agreement is the guiding force of current climate negotiations. It calls on nations to curb temperature increases at 2°C by the end of this century, while attempting to contain rises within 1.5°C. The next step is to implement NDCs, which set out national targets under the Paris Agreement.
While African countries outlined bold aspirations to build climate resilient and low-carbon economies in their NDCs, the continent's position is that it should not be treated the same as developed nations as its carbon emissions constitute a fraction of the world's big economies.
"The African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) remains committed to partnering with other institutions in providing the requisite support to AU member states in reviewing and updating their NDCs," said Estherine Fotabong, Director of Programmes at AUDA-NEPAD.
Barbara Creecy, South Africa's Environment Minister and current chair of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment, said the Africa Day event should come up with new ideas to enhance the implementation of NDCs in Africa.
Africa is already responding positively to the challenge of climate change, said Anthony Nyong, Director for Climate Change and Green Growth at the African Development Bank, citing huge investment interest in renewables at the Bank's Africa Investment Forum in Johannesburg.
"Clearly, we are a continent that has what it takes to create the Africa that we want to see happen. I believe what has been the missing link is the ability to brand right and to act on the market signals," Nyong said. "We continue to present Africa as a vulnerable case and not as a business case with opportunities. In fact, where we have attempted the latter, the results have been spot-on."
Chief Fortune Charumbira, Vice President of the Pan-African Parliament, said robust climate legislation was key.
"The world's response to the challenge has shown that legislation is imperative to cement efforts employed by various stakeholders; from the Paris Agreement to Nationally Determined Contributions," he said.
Amb. Josefa Sacko, Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture at the African Union Commission, said climate change affected sectors key to Africa's socio-economic development, such as agriculture, livestock and fisheries, energy, biodiversity and tourism. She called on African countries to take stock of the Paris Agreement, and its implementation around finance capacity building and technology.

Vocational interests of African-American, Asian-American and Caucasian-American adolescent females
Barbara Elena Petrella, University of Miami
Margaret Crosbie-Burnett - Committee Chair
Currently, there appears to be differential representation of racial groups of females in various parts of the labor force. African-American females are overrepresented in social careers, and underrepresented in science and mathematics careers. According to Holland's (1985a) theory, this suggests interest in social occupations and activities, and lack of interest in math and science-related careers and activities. Asian-American females, conversely, are overrepresented in science and math careers, and have low representation in non-scientific and non-math occupations. This suggests interest in math- and science-related careers and activities, and low interest in non-science- and non-math-related occupations and activities. To test Holland's theory, self-reported interests in activities and careers of African-American, Asian-American and Caucasian-American females were examined. Participants consisted of female 10th grade African-American, Asian-American and Caucasian-American students, who completed the UNIACT-R portion of the 1999/2000 PLAN test. The UNIACT-R was used to measure activity preferences, and a career interest item contained in PLAN was used to measure career preferences. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences between African-American, Asian-American and Caucasian-American females on activity and career preferences. Specifically, African-American females were hypothesized to prefer Social activities and careers more than other activities and careers, and Asian-American females were hypothesized to prefer Investigative activities and careers more than other activities and careers. Caucasian-American females served as a comparison group. To further test Holland's theory, it was hypothesized that activity and career preferences would be related within each racial group. In general, the results of this study did not support Holland's theory. On both the activity and career preference measures, the African-American females showed only partial consistency with their actual workforce representation, demonstrating equal preference for Social, Enterprising and Conventional activities, and equal preference for Social and Investigative careers. The Asian-American females showed partial consistency on the activity preference measure with their actual workforce representation, but complete consistency on the career preference item, demonstrating equal preference for Investigative, Artistic and Social activities, but sole preference for Investigative careers. Finally, African-American, Asian-American and Caucasian-American females did not show congruence between their activity and career preferences. Limitations and directions for future research are addressed.

The Dynamic Single Life of 55+ Women
Selected Post
by Elliot Crumpley on February 18th, 2016
Single female Baby Boomers are loving their life and have no plans to slow down anytime soon!
If you're a single female Baby Boomer and think that you're a rare breed, think again. According to recent U.S. Census Data, out of all the Baby Boomers, as many as 28 million (37%) are single women.
Every year, Del Webb surveys a segment of the Baby Boomer population to better understand the activities, lifestyle, and habits of that generation. In 2015, for the first time since the survey began almost 20 years ago, Del Webb surveyed single female Boomers to get their perspective on life, careers, and relationships.
According to Del Webb, singles groups are among the most popular and fastest growing in their communities. These groups emphasize social interaction over romantic partnerships (although those occur too). Deborah Demos, Lifestyle Director at Sun City Mesquite, says that it "isn't a 'singles scene' but more about creating a fun social environment." Many single female Boomers seem to be responding to that approach, with 67% engaging in social activities outside their home at least once a month.
While the thought of retiring single fills some with dreadful feelings of loneliness, the survey shows that the opposite is true. When it comes to dating, 45% were not interested with 56% saying that they never go on dates. While there is a healthy segment of single female Boomers who do date (or are interested in dating), most are happy in their single life, choosing to spend their time and efforts accomplishing personal goals rather than actively seeking a partner.
Most female Boomers seemed to prefer the company of friends, as 66% of respondents said that they favor a dinner outing with friends or going to the movies. But Boomer bachelors looking for a date should expect to shell out a pretty penny: 47% of those who do date prefer a romantic night out.
Del Webb held one-on-one interviews with single female Boomers as a part of the project, with many of them responding that finding love is not a priority (only 5% want to find love, by the way). Some eschewed online dating, opting to allow falling in love to happen naturally, while others loved the curated aspect to dating sites like eHarmony and Match.com.
It's possible that single female Boomers aren't interested in dating because they're singularly focused on their careers. Fifty percent of the respondents are still working with 79% satisfied in their current position. Many also intend to pursue encore careers once they do retire (approximately 20%) in different fields, to continue with a sense of purpose, not to mention income. Although for most Boomers, an encore career is less about money than it is about staying engaged, with 78% responding that their next career will not be out of necessity but rather out of a desire to stay active.
Active adult communities emphasize physical health, which single female Boomers seem to be drawn to. Of the respondents, 68% ranked healthy lifestyle as a top priority (excluding time with friends and family), while 63% responded that they spend time outdoors. Around a quarter of all respondents also placed importance on intellectual adventure, responding that they sought educational opportunities in the past five years.
All of this emphasis on maintaining a balance between physical, social, and mental health seems to have worked wonders on this population. A whopping 76% responded that they feel younger than their age, while the same number also claimed that they feel more confident now than they did at 35.
As for single female Boomers and housing, about half are planning on moving to better meet their housing needs. For those thinking about their next home, about one-third are planning to move to an age-targeted or age-restricted community. This shouldn't come as a surprise. For as social, active, and determined this population is, 55+ communities would be delighted to welcome them to their neighborhood.

Former UGA star Todd Gurley posts funny picture on Instagram after controversial NFC Championship
Gurley's Instagram post after the NFC Championship had nearly a half-million "likes"
Todd Gurley/Instagram
Michael Carvell
@Michael_Carvell
Give Todd Gurley credit for having a great sense of humor.
Gurley is the former UGA running back who now stars for the NFL's Los Angeles Rams. After the Rams beat the New Orleans Saints in Sunday's NFC Championship game, Gurley posted a fake picture on his Instagram account of him exchanging his jersey with a referee after the game.
It got nearly a half-million "likes" really quickly.
If you didn't catch the game, the Rams benefitted from the one of the worst officiating non-calls in NFL playoff history that helped them win. Late in the fourth quarter at the LA 13-yard line, Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw a third-down pass intended for receiver Tommylee Lewis, who was crushed by Rams defender Nickell Robey-Coleman before the ball even got there.
It was a clear pass-interference penalty, but it was not flagged. Even Robey-Coleman admitted after the game that "hell yes" it should've been called. Instead of being awarded a first down and having the opportunity to milk the clock to victory, the Saints kicked a field goal, which was matched by the Rams by the end of regulation to tie the game. Los Angles won in overtime on a 57-yard field goal.
Gurley wasn't involved in the controversial play. In fact, Gurley wasn't involved much at all in the NFC Championship. He stood on the sidelines for most of the game, finishing with 13 total yards on five total touches – which were both career lows. Gurley sat out the last two games of the regular season with inflammation to his left knee, but claimed that had nothing to do with Sunday's limited action (a team-low 32 snaps).
"Yeah, I was sorry," Gurley told reporters.
Nevertheless, Gurley had a great sense of humor and he's headed to the Super Bowl in Atlanta. He'll have two weeks to rest before the big game.

Spitfire List | Did Subas Chandra Bose Survive the Second World War?
Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 21, 2012Post a comment Email This Post Print This Post Tweet This!
COMMENT: When studying the history of the Second World War, it is important to remember that it took place during the Age of Empire–significant amounts of territory were still officially colonies of European nations.
Some anti-colonial activists turned to the Axis for help in ousting their colonial masters.
Suposedly killed in a plane crash at the end of the war, many suspected that he had faked his death in order to go underground.
EXCERPT: . . . On September 16th, 1985, in a dilapidated house in Faizabad, formerly the capital of Oudh province in India, a reclusive holy man known as Bhagwanji or Gumnami Baba ('the saint with no name') breathed his last. Locals had long suspected that he was none other than Subhas Chandra Bose (1897-1945), the Indian quasi-Fascist leader who in the 1930s had advocated a violent revolution against the British Empire to gain total independence for India.The Second World War had enabled him to practise what he preached and his Indian National Army had fought with the Japanese in Burma attempting to drive the British out of the subcontinent.
Although Netaji (Great Leader) Bose was reported killed in an air crash in August 1945, while trying to escape to the Soviet Union, many believed then and continue to believe now that, helped by his Japanese allies, he faked his death, reached Russia and returned to India many years later to lead the secret life of a hermit. Surprisingly for a poor sadhu (mystic) the 'saint with no name' left behind many trunks of possessions and in 1986, realising that these might solve the mystery once and for all, Bose's niece Lalita obtained a high court order for an inventory to be made of their contents. Among the 2,673 items indexed, Lalita claimed she saw letters in her uncle's handwriting and family photographs. Gumnami Baba's belongings were re-packed in 23 boxes and sent to the District Treasury. . . .


A Jeopardy contestant tricked host Alex Trebek into saying "Turd Ferguson," a reference to a hilariously infamous "Saturday Night Live" skit, during an episode this week.
On Wednesday's show, a contestant named Talia had to come up with an answer for the following: "This song from a 1999 animated film about censorship had a word censored from its Oscar performance."
Since she had no idea that the answer was "What is 'Blame Canada?'" from the movie "South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut," Talia leaned on the infamous "Celebrity Jeopardy" skit featuring Will Ferrell and Norm Macdonald as actor Burt Reynolds. Her final answer? "What is the love ballad of Turd Ferguson?"
Macdonald has portrayed Reynolds several times on "SNL," giving himself the pseudonym Turd Ferguson, according to The Wall Street Journal.
"Trebek read her answer as the crowd laughed and people on social media went wild," USA Today's Mary Bowerman wrote. "While she may not have won the game, she won the hearts of many on the Internet."
Many on social media indeed took delight at the answer.
I don't care what happens the rest of the day. "Turd Ferguson" is trending and I'm happy.
Hands down, Turd Ferguson won the #GOPDebate last night.

The first thing to figure out is when does your car pull? Does it always do it, or only when you accelerate? Does it happen you apply the brakes? Does it always pull to the same side? These are all factors in determining why your car, truck, crossover, or SUV pulls in one direction.
Alignment – in many cases, your car pulls to one side because the alignment is off. It's easy for a vehicle to get unaligned over time, especially if your tires wear down unevenly, or you don't get them rotated like you should. You should also check your alignment if you've bumped anything hard with your tire recently, like a curb. Or, if you've installed new wheels and/or tires. A proper wheel alignment will resolve this problem and it should stop your vehicle from pulling to one side.
Tires – your tires are often the culprits when your car starts pulling to the right or left. If your tires are old and worn out, or if they have an uneven tread wear pattern, this can lead to pulling. In addition if your tires are underinflated that could be another reason your vehicles is pulling in one direction.
Brakes – if your tires are in good shape and your alignment is all lined up, but you're still having problems, then take a look at your brakes. If your calipers are stuck this could also cause pulling. The calipers apply pressure on your brake pads when you slow down and stop. If your calipers are stuck it can cause uneven pressure, which leads to pulling to one side. If you notice your vehicle pulling when you brake, don't wait around to get it checked out. Driving around with bad brakes is a big safety hazard.
Other Causes – if none of these issues is the problem, there are a few other possibilities. Worn steering linkage, a bad wheel bearing, or a weak tire rod could all cause your car to pull to one side. These are hard to diagnose on your own, so we recommend bringing it in to have our technicians take a closer look.
If your vehicle is pulling to one side then don't wait for it to get better. You need to get it checked out as soon as you can. And don't worry. When you bring your vehicle into Hoesly Automotive you can rest assured our ASE Certified technicians will find the problem and get it repaired the right way. We don't cut corners. Our number one goal is to get you safely back on the road as quickly as we can. No matter the repair or the vehicle, we'll take of your auto repair needs in Vancouver WA.

This name generator will give you 10 random names for the Sangheili, part of the Halo universe.
The Sangheili are incredibly strong creatures with a strong sense of pride. They also possess great tactical skills, making them a formidable foe in the battlefield.
The Sangheili were a founding member of the Covenant, and have been an integral part of the Covenant's military power.
Sangheili names are incredibly important. Names are both an honor and a privilege for those who have proven their worth, although all Sangheili are born with a given name. However, once they've proven themselves, they will be given a badge name and this is the most honorable and meaningful name a Sangheili can receive.
These names are made up of up to 3 parts: a descriptive part (like 'fast', 'strong', etc.), a family name, and possibly either the suffix 'ee' or 'ai'. The 'ee' suffix is only for those who are military participants, which many are, and the 'ai' suffix indicates swordsmanship.
I haven't found any info on the descriptive parts of their names in terms of meanings, so all names in this generator are made up and will have to be given a meaning of your own.
Female names sound slightly more melodic than male names, but the differences are small.
