My events are a living experience. A true spiritual teacher embodies the consciousness of inner growth. This is far more important than is realised.
My 5-Day Intensives are a living experience. A true spiritual teacher embodies the consciousness of inner growth. This is far more important than is realised. We are each a field-of-energy. When people come to an Intensive, they come into my field-of-energy for five days. During that time I am able to convey and impart more 'substance' in consciousness than a month of reading or listening to CDs. In effect, there is a consciousness transfer, backed up and consolidated by the process of speaking from unconditional Love. By 'substance' I am talking about energy. I am energy, as you are. As a spiritual teacher it is my responsibility to have a higher resonance of spiritual energy than the Intensive participants. In this way, when our energies merge there is a tremendous energy exchange taking place; an exchange far beyond the conscious awareness of most participants.
An Intensive participant benefits more from this energy exchange than even the obvious benefit of the spoken words. Words are grabbed intellectually and thought about, then they move into the emotions, causing emotional shifts of energy. At this stage it is common for emotional blocks to collapse, or dissolve, and the participant often feels a 'low' or 'high.' This is all perfectly natural. However, it is the silent, unrealised dynamic of the deeper conscious exchange of energy that brings up the huge insights, the "ah ha" moments. All energy is information. When, beyond all the words, my field-of-energy is sharing information purely as energy, metaphysically touching people on a cellular and DNA level, it triggers deeper layers of our conscious heart/soul connection, causing this new awareness to rise to the surface of the participant in a dynamic, life-changing way.
The other fact about an Intensive is that because the participants are required to embrace the information, rather than categorise it, the information/energy will percolate from the whole-brain/heart for months to come. When information is mainly left-brain categorised, it is held only in the mental memory, and much is lost before retrieval. When information is embraced, the memory moves into a deeper cellular level, coming to the surface as is appropriate. It is interesting to look at the word information as in-formation! Unformed when received, and transformed by a whole-brain/heart approach to life.
As the months pass, the Intensive participants will experience many "ah ha' moments; moments that will offer them an ever greater and expanding insight into life. The five days is the input, the following months are when the input 'connections' take place.
So, these subtle but significant changes to myself, plus the absolutely amazing and life changing experiences that I had seen other participants go through, plus the sense that what Michael was saying was absolutely true and provided a new paradigm with which to understand life (for a left brainer!), kept me going back to the Dutch Intensives, even after I had moved back to England. I felt welcome and accepted there by the Dutch participants who I became very fond of. Yet it kept nagging me that Michael never spoke in the UK even though he was English (historically his book distributer didn't operate there). Finally, in 2009, I ventured to organise a weekend workshop for Michael in Warwickshire, and Michael and Carolyn have been coming to the UK ever since, with 2011 seeing the start of the full 5-Day Intensive.
What I love about coordinating Michael and Carolyn's visits to the UK is the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life (and many countries) who I'd never otherwise get to know and through this to develop more compassion and empathy, it also provides an opportunity to give service in an area outside of my day job, plus of course the opportunity to experience Michael's new words each time round and to grow myself. And the Reiki therapist? Well she's now a friend and colleague as she went on to become the Dutch coordinator for Michael's visits to the Netherlands.


In "Nonverbal Communication: The Hidden Message," Bill Acheson examines how professionals deal with each other on a day-to-day basis and the impact that understanding nonverbal communication can have on enhancing their effectiveness. Bill also offers a version of the keynote address "Nonverbal Communication: The Hidden Message" that is tailored specificallyto sales professionals.
Keeping high levels of eye contact.
Never be the first to break eye contact, but when you do, look away rather than down.
Avoid "average" vocal patterns. Speak with more volume and a bit faster or with less volume and a bit slower than average.
Use a defined, broad pitch range and stress key words for effect.
Use vocal pauses strategically to create an impression of confidence.
In this presentation you will acquire skills to read other people that you'll put into practice before you leave the room. You'll also learn how to project yourself more effectively by managing your use of time, space, appearance, posture, gesture, facial expression, eye contact, voice patterns, and touch.
Body language accounts for more than half of the meaning in any face to face encounter. In the "Nonverbal Communication: The Hidden Message," we find that nonverbal cues are more revealing, more accurate, and more emotionally powerful than verbal messages. When your body language reinforces your verbal message, it tends to make what you say more powerful. Otherwise, your body language can weaken - or even contradict - what you say.
The channels of nonverbal communication include the ways in which you manage time and space, your appearance, posture, gesture, facial expression, eye contact, touch, voice, silence, and even smell.
In this session you will learn strategies to help you to project personal power and speak with greater accuracy and impact. You will also discover techniques to more accurately assess the attitude and intent of those with whom you conduct business.
For instance, to be accurately interpreted, nonverbal communication should be considered in terms of context, clusters, and congruence.
Context refers to the situation in which communication occurs and is crucial to establishing meaning. i.e.: a touch on the forearm could have a number of different meanings. The context in which it occurs provides the framework for understanding its significance.
A behavioral cluster is a grouping of nonverbal cues that sends the same message. Power, attentiveness, and deception are examples of identifiable clusters. Reactions such as happiness, confusion, or disgust are response clusters.
Congruence refers to the relationship between the verbal and nonverbal components of a message. Communication is congruent if both channels agree. It is incongruent if they send conflicting messages such as when a person shakes his head from side to side and says, "Yes." Nonverbal cues are more accurate than verbal messages - especially regarding attitude and intent.

Q: Trouble subclassing SCNScene I've been trying to subclass SCNScene as that seems like the best place to keep my scene related logic. Now I'm not sure wether that's reccomended so my first question is - Should I be subclassing SCNScene, and if not why not? The documentation seems to suggest it's common but I've read comments online that suggest I shouldn't subclass it. Scrap that, I was looking at the documentation for SKScene. The SCNScene class reference makes no mention of subclassing.
Assuming it's ok to structure my game that way, here's my progress
//  GameScene.swift

import Foundation
import SceneKit

class GameScene: SCNScene {

    lazy var enityManager: BREntityManager = {
        return BREntityManager(scene: self)
    }()

    override init() {
        print("GameScene init")
        super.init()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }

    func someMethod() {
        // Here's where I plan to setup the GameplayKit stuff
        // for the scene
        print("someMethod called")
    }

}

Note: I'm using lazy var as per the answer to this question
In my view controller, i'm trying to use GameScene like this
class GameViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

        // create a new scene
        let scene = GameScene(named: "art.scnassets/game.scn")!

        // retrieve the SCNView
        let scnView = self.view as! SCNView

        // set the scene to the view
        scnView.scene = scene

        // Should print "someMethod called"
        scene.someMethod()
    }
}

However, the call to GameScene.someMethod() triggers an EXEC_BAD_ACCESS error.
Also, if I omit the call to GameScene.someMethod, the scene loads correctly, but the overridden initializer in GameScene doesn't appear to be called.
I'm not sure what's going on here. It's clear there's something about subclassing in Swift that I've not understood. Or perhaps there' some aspect of order in which things are meant to run that I've missed.

A:
Should I be subclassing SCNScene, and if not why not?

No, you don't need to subclass, and you're probably better off not subclassing. SCNScene is more like basic data/model classes (NSString, UIImage, etc) than like behavior/controller/view classes (UIViewController, UIControl, etc). That is, it's a general description of or container for something (in this case, a 3D scene) and doesn't really provide behavior. Since there's not much in the way of behavior, there's not much opportunity to override behavior with a subclass. (Nor is the class designed around subclass entry points meant to be overridden, like viewDidLoad and whatnot.)
While it's possible to subclass SCNScene, you don't gain much from doing so, and some APIs might not work as you expect...

However, the call to GameScene.someMethod() triggers an EXEC_BAD_ACCESS error.
Also, if I omit the call to GameScene.someMethod, the scene loads correctly, but the overridden initializer in GameScene doesn't appear to be called.

A .scn file is actually an NSKeyedArchiver archive, which means that the objects inside it have the same classes that were used to create it. when you call init(named:) on your SCNScene subclass, the superclass' implementation eventually calls through to NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData: to load the archive. Absent some unarchiver mangling, that method will instantiate a SCNScene, not an instance of your subclass.
Because you don't get an instance of your subclass, your subclass initializers aren't called, and attempting to call your subclass' methods results in a runtime error.
Aside: Why is SpriteKit different from SceneKit here? SKScene is a bit of an odd duck in that it's neither a pure model class nor a pure controller class. This is why you see a lot of projects, including the Xcode template, using an SKScene subclass. There are drawbacks to this approach, however — if you don't plan carefully, it gets too easy to wed your game logic tightly to your game data, which makes expanding your game (say, to multiple levels) require tedious coding instead of data editing. There's a WWDC 2014 session on this topic that's well worth watching.
So, what to do?
You have a few choices here...

*

*Don't subclass. Keep your game logic in a separate class. This doesn't necessarily have to be a view controller class — you could have one or more Game objects that are owned by your view controller or app delegate. (This makes especially good sense if your game logic transitions between or manipulates the content of multiple scenes.)

*Subclass, but arrange to put the stuff from an unarchived SCNScene into an instance of your subclass — instantiate your subclass, load an SCNScene, then move all children of its root node into your subclass' root node.

*Subclass, but force NSKeyedUnarchiver to load your subclass instead of SCNScene. (You can do this with class name mappings.)
Of these, #1 is probably the best.

A: tl;dr: Extend SCNNode to generate your scene programmatically.
This started as a comment on Rickster's excellent answer but I could see it getting too long. I taught a course this quarter that spent a substantial amount of time on SceneKit. We subclassed SCNScene all the time and didn't run into any trouble.
However, after spending an hour just now reviewing the code I presented, the code the students wrote, and a ton of other sample code (from Apple and from other developers), I would not subclass SCNScene again.
None of the Apple sample code subclasses SCNScene. That should be a very strong clue. Handling the serialization (initWithCoder and the read from file) is a recurring question on StackOverflow. That's a second strong clue that you don't want to go there.
In all of the code I reviewed that subclassed SCNScene, the reason to do it was to generate the scene programmatically. That's Rickster's choice #2. But none of that code really needs to be on SCNScene. If you're building a bunch of nodes in particular configurations, adding lighting and look-at constraints, and setting up materials, it feels like you're building an SCNScene. But really you're building a tree of SCNNode instances.
So I think in hindsight, choice #2 does not provide a good enough reason to subclass. All of that construction can be done by writing a generator function, in an extension to SCNNode.
It's tempting to subclass SCNNode for this custom tree. Don't do it. You'll be able to save it and read it just fine (assuming you write the appropriate NSSecureCoding functions). But you will be unable to open your scene with the Xcode Scene Editor, because the Scene Editor doesn't know how to unarchive and instantiate your custom SCNNode subclasses.

In this episode of the CMP, a hands-on flip through of the Sketchnote Handbook by Mike Rohde (talked about in Episode 251: Sketchnote). Curious about the odd sequencing? I recorded this show several weeks ago, but then the end of the month rolled around, and it felt like the goal-setting show had more urgency. So I put off finishing this show up. Since I recorded this with 254 as the number, I decided to leave that intact. Sorry for any confusion!

Reductive stress on life span extension in C. elegans

BMC Research Notes volume 1, Article number: 19 (2008) Cite this article
Recently, Schulz and colleagues have contributed to the ongoing controversy on the unproven role of oxidative stress in the aging process in their well-performed study 'Glucose restriction extends Caenorhabditis elegans life span by inducing mitochondrial respiration and increasing oxidative stress' (Cell Metab 2007, 6: 280–293). Here, we suggest an alternative hypothesis that reductive stress can prevent calorie-restriction induced life span extension. We draw attention to this condition as an explanation for some contradictory observations including the deleterious effects from antioxidants.
How – or if at all – free radicals, oxidants, and oxidative stress contribute to the aging process is a fundamental, voluminous but still controversial research topic. In a recent Edition of Cell Metabolism, Schulz and colleagues report their important and well-controlled observations of 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (DOG or 2-DG)-induced caloric restriction on life span in C. elegans [1]. The authors observe that treatment with 2-DG (a glucose analogue and inhibitor of two glycolytic enzymes) increases C. elegans' life span as well as mitochondrial respiration, resulting in increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, when animals were treated with antioxidants such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC, a precursor of reduced glutathione (GSH)), the effects of 2-DG on life span extension were abolished. To explain these intriguing findings, these authors suggested that glucose restriction induces mild oxidative stress originating from mitochondria and increases protective mechanisms, termed 'mitohormesis,' resulting in the increased longevity of the model organism and extension of C. elegans life span (see [2] for a review). Notwithstanding, the relationship between hormesis and the 'oxidative-stress' theory of ageing remains uncertain (see [3] for a review).
Although the oxidative stress theory of aging is widely accepted, the mechanisms underlying mammalian aging remains poorly understood as several animals models in which oxidative stress is enhanced have neither shortened life span nor recapitulated aging phenotypes in mice [4].
First, cellular redox homeostasis in organisms is highly dependent on both enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. Cells exposed to oxidative stress conditions have increased activity of the pentose phosphate pathway, which replenishes cellular reduction of NADP+ to NADPH [5–7]. For example, in response to ROS production, reducing equivalents in the form of NADPH and GSH, both which serve to neutralize pro-oxidants (i.e., anti-reductant), are generated by the anti-oxidative machinery to restore redox homeostasis. This mechanism allows the cell to restore the redox state under the aforementioned oxidative stress conditions, principally from high levels of (reduced) NADPH and/or recycling the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), which are required by the cellular antioxidant systems [8].
However, reductive stress in the form increased GSH production has been genetically and causally linked to dysregulation of antioxidative pathways in mice [9, 10]. Indeed, recent results show deleterious effects of reductive stress in different organisms, including reduced life span of yeast and C. elegans and age-related protein aggregation disease in mice [7, 10], unpublished studies from IJB). How does reductive stress prevent life span extension in mammals? By presenting partially understood mechanisms, we hypothesize that activation of compensatory pathways such as activated by the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting enzyme of the anaerobic pentose phosphate shunt, escapes feedback control, triggering excess amounts of reducing equivalents into deleterious zone. In conditions promoting ROS production without consumption of the newly produced reducing equivalents (a situation that could be provoked by combining pro- and anti-oxidative treatments), we envision plieotrophic effects on gene expression, protein folding and metabolic processes.
If ROS production is not a significant cause of aging in C. elegans, further studies are needed to clarify the alternative roles of glucose restriction and 2-DG treatment on generation of reducing equivalents. For example, we suggest that the impact of antioxidant treatment on the ageing process needs to be clarified at the level of glutathione synthesis (i.e. gamma glutathione synthetase) and recycling (e.g., glutathione reductase). Cellular and molecular studies such as gene deletion or knock-down of antioxidant and pro-oxidant systems, careful titration of oxidants and reductants might be combined with biochemical analyses of the cellular redox state, especially of the NAD(H), NADP(H) and GS(S)H pools.
Notwithstanding, we fully agree with and wish to highlight the authors' conclusion that the rationale for the use of antioxidants in the arsenal against aging and health maintenance and/or prevention needs to be revisited.

The Supreme Court's naked politics
By Noah Feldman
People rally outside the Supreme Court on Jan. 10, 2018, in opposition to Ohio's voter roll purges in Washington. The court on June 11 upheld Ohio'€™s method of removing people from voter rolls. (Jacquelyn Martin / AP)
In a 5-4 decision along party lines, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday upheld an Ohio law that lets the state kick people off the voter rolls if they don't show up to vote for six years and don't return a postcard saying they haven't moved.
It would be nice if legal principle had played any role in the decision on either side, but it didn't, not really. The five conservatives, including Justice Anthony Kennedy, found in Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute that the state law was consistent with federal law; the four liberals said it wasn't.
Like the Republican state legislature that passed the law, both sides are apparently operating on the unspoken assumption that Democrats are more likely to decide not to vote and fail to return the postcard than are Republicans. No matter which side you think is correct, the partisan breakdown on a voting rights case is not a great look for the justices.
The legal background for the decision is a federal law, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, that sends two arguably conflicting messages to the states. On the one hand, the federal law says the states must make a "reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters" who have changed their residences. On the other hand, the same law tells the states they can't take away anyone's voter registration "by reason of the person's failure to vote."
One way for states to satisfy these legal obligations is to target people for removal from the voting rolls if they have filed a change of address notice with the U.S. Postal Service that moves them into a new voting district. Ohio does this. But apparently, 40 percent of people who move don't submit a change of address notice.
The Ohio law addresses this reality by adding another method of purging the rolls. If you don't vote for two years, then the state sends you a postcard asking whether you are still there. If you reply that you haven't moved, you stay registered.
If you don't send back the postcard, then the state waits four more years, a period that must include two federal elections. Once a total of six years has passed since the first election you missed, Ohio takes away your registration.
You don't have to have gone to law school to guess how the two sides reasoned out the conclusion. Writing for the conservative majority, Justice Samuel Alito argued that Ohio's approach doesn't remove anyone "by reason of" the failure to vote. Nonvoting is just the trigger that begins the process, plus a factor in determining whether the person still lives where he or she is registered. The postcard, he maintained, is a form of notice that also helps makes the whole process about more than just removing voters who don't turn out.
For good measure, the federal law also says expressly that the state can't remove you unless you haven't responded to a notice and haven't voted in two straight federal elections. Alito used this restriction to conclude that if you have received the notice and haven't voted in two straight elections, you can be removed.
Justice Stephen Breyer went the other way. He focused on nonvoting as the triggering event for sending the notice in the first place. That, Breyer reasoned, amounted to removing you for failing to vote — precisely what federal law prohibits.
If you really wanted to, you could try to claim that Alito's opinion focuses on the literal meaning of the words "by reason of," and that Breyer's opinion focuses on the purpose of the federal law, namely not taking away people's registration for not voting. That would give some color of jurisprudential principle to the outcome here.
In the past I've pointed out in this column that the court's conservatives interpret statutes based on text, while the liberals, especially Breyer, prefer looking to statutory purpose. But in this instance, Alito acknowledged looking to "context" to resolve the meaning of the words "by reason of." And Breyer claimed his view was required by the text of the federal law.
So the best, albeit unfortunate, conclusion is that the justices are just being political. I have no idea whether they are correct about the partisan effects of the Ohio law or whether they are just basing themselves on the same prejudices that informed the state legislature. But none of that should really matter. Partisanship should not inform statutory interpretation in this way.
I also don't think there's any way to read the tea leaves of this opinion to tell us anything about what Justice Kennedy will do on the partisan gerrymander case yet to be decided this term. He could be throwing a bone to the conservatives here because he plans to hold that some partisan gerrymanders are unconstitutional. (That's what I expect him to do.) Or he could be voting with his sometime-partisan allies here and in that other case. We'll know soon enough.

Forty-year-old Fernando Herrera has cycled in and out of state lockups for theft, drug dealing, robbery and attempted murder since he was 13. A few months ago, he was released from Pelican Bay, a maximum-security prison in Northern California, after completing a sentence for a series of armed robberies. This month, a parole officer visited the storage shed in Riverside where Herrera lives next to his parents' house. The officer listened as Herrera worried aloud: "How can I find a job when I have no car, no skills and a rap sheet that seems to scare everybody away?"
According to Herrera, the parole officer just shrugged and said, "Don't ask for nothing because we got nothing."
California incarcerates about 160,000 criminals, nearly seven times more than in 1980. About 125,000 a year are released. Like Herrera, most of them emerge poorly equipped to join society and with little or no law enforcement supervision.
The predictable result is that 70% of the state's parolees re-offend within 18 months of being released, more than twice the national average. It's not for lack of spending: The state's prison and parole costs, $409 million in 1980, bloated to $5.2 billion this year.
California's failure is rooted in its decision decades ago to pour money into bricks and mortar and not into the community- and prison-based educational, job and counseling programs that in other states keep inmates from returning to prison.
A few courageous prison leaders are fighting a culture that resists prisoner rehabilitation. One is Jeannie Woodford, warden of California's oldest prison, San Quentin.
The tall, spiked gates of Woodford's 432-acre domain just north of San Francisco open onto an unexpectedly handsome sight: Chapel Yard, a flower garden surrounded by cream-colored buildings housing the prison's education, job training and religious programs. With more volunteers than all other public state prisons combined and a warden intent on correcting, not coddling, criminals, this quiet island in "the Q" is as close to a model unit as the state prison system has. But Woodford can afford to give only a tiny fraction of her 5,645 inmates a chance to better themselves.
More representative of San Quentin is the Main Yard, a grim, gray, hangar-sized space just past a 3-foot-thick stone and concrete wall. Men lean idly on rusty, mildew-coated handrails that lead to places like East Block, home to 445 prisoners awaiting execution.
Woodford became warden in 1999, after working as a guard since graduating from Sonoma State University in 1978 with a criminology degree. Her goal, she says, is to "help inmates change their lives so that we don't create more victims out there. When you ask people whether prisons should have more programs, the knee-jerk reaction is no. But when you explain that the purpose is to hold inmates accountable for their behavior, there's a great deal of support."
* The state has abandoned basic literacy and vocational training programs. Though state law requires prisons to provide literacy programs to the roughly 90,000 of its inmates who lack a high school diploma or a ninth-grade reading level, only a few thousand have access to reading or job training classes. The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that inmates who attend school are substantially less likely to return after release.
* Prison work programs are under attack. California established the Prison Industries Authority 15 years ago to help pay for prison operations and rehabilitate inmates. Inmates at 23 California prisons produce goods from flags to firefighters' clothing. The skills being taught are sometimes outdated, but inmates learn work habits and pay taxes, victim restitution, room and board and child support. Unfortunately, some Democrats on the authority's appointed board say the shops should close because they exploit prisoners or threaten union jobs outside. Some conservatives want to shut them because the state, they say, shouldn't help criminals in this way.
* There is widespread tolerance of drug abuse. About 85% of California's inmates are incarcerated for crimes related to substance abuse. Only 6% of inmates are in drug treatment programs. As one state prison official told The Times, "You get more dope in prison than on the street," often carried in by visitors. Herrera, for instance, says he contracted hepatitis C from drug use in prison. He will need lifelong taxpayer-supported health care. Only a fraction of prisoners are tested for drug use.
Wardens are not evaluated on whether their convicts re-offend after they are released. As one former prison warden recently told the Little Hoover Commission, a nonpartisan state oversight body, "The only time wardens are held accountable is if a staff member is killed." Woodford is the only prison warden to publicly assert that wardens should be judged at least in part by the success of their inmates in gaining employment and housing and avoiding crime.
A San Quentin prisoner, a booming-voiced lifer known as Big D, helps Woodford with her youth programs. He probably won't ever leave prison himself, but he is certain that reforms prevent crime: "You can help prisoners elevate and not stagnate. If you don't learn values and responsibility in prison, you just learn how to become a better, more effective criminal."
Which brings us back to that 70% rate of re-incarceration. It's not often that an agency or business with a two-thirds failure rate goes for decades without public scrutiny. The changes at the top of state government offer an opportunity to see the failures of a rigid, feudal prison system and fix them.

Luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta was founded in 1966 by Michele Taddei and famed for their woven leather bags and accessories.
Bottega Veneta began as a company producing leather goods using a leather-weaving technique that still remains the brands signature today. However, overtime Bottega Veneta became more trend driven rather than focusing on creating their highly crafted leather goods until Tomas Maier joined in 2001. Maier revitalised the brand back to its original identity, removing any visible logos on products and focused on the leather weave, starting the understated luxury movement that many luxury brands now adopt. Maier also introduced the Cabat, a logoless bag with a leather weave in his first season which remains the company's best selling bag.
Maier has succesfully reinvented Bottega Veneta with a firm place in the luxury market.

The two individual active ingredients in saxagliptin/metformin ER -- saxagliptin and extended-release metformin -- have each been studied extensively. The specific combination (saxagliptin plus an extended-release metformin product) has not been studied.
However, saxagliptin/metformin ER was approved as a type 2 diabetes treatment based on the studies that combined saxagliptin plus short-acting, immediate-release metformin.
Irritation and inflammation of the stomach and intestines (gastroenteritis) -- up to 2.3 percent.
Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking saxagliptin/metformin ER. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be related to the medication, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.

What is the overall height of your panel, top to bottom, the main panel itself.
I really can't say....I'm at home. But it should be a simple thing to ask Van's what the dimensions of the oversize panel are. All I can recall off hand is that it is 2.2 inches longer than stock.
Finally fired everything up today. No bangs or smoke. Looks great compared to the Cessnas I'm used to flying.
I bought a standard and an XL panel and used the standard one as a mount for the 'XL. The centre section is on about 8 platenuts so it can be removed easily.
The Dynon is a D120, A/H is by Kanardia. XPD and VHF are the Trig remote head ones.
I seem to have lots of "real estate" left over. Just some warning lights and placards left to go on now.
I'm nearing completion of a panel upgrade on my RV6 and thought I would share it here. I finished the RV6 in 1999. I fly some IFR, but with very conservative limits.
This first picture is "before" this upgrade - KX155, KX125, enroute IFR GX55, Pictorial Pilot plus Al Trac, Tetra II CHT/EGT plus lots of gauges.
This next picture is the updated panel. Key elements are Skyview, Dynon D-6 backup EFIS, Dynon Com, GTN650 GPS/Nav/Com, Dynon Transponder and ADSB. I'm handling the audio through the Dynon intercom plus a couple of switches. So far this seems to work well. You will see that I moved the engine controls to the main panel and added a map (oops - now a lunch) box. I also added brakes to the co-pilot side and switched to a lithium based battery. There are no changes to the electronics busses or switches. I may add an IPad mount on the right side.
Motivation for the project was an RV12 I finished in 2012. I liked the Skyview and ADSB in the RV12 so much that I decided to update the RV6.
I am just getting it together - have done an engine run and weighed it. Still need to calibrate the fuel gauges and remote compasses and trouble shoot the fuel flow set-up which did not seem to work on the first engine run. So far everything else seems to be working. Weight came down 13 pounds, mostly due to the battery change.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it does in the air.
Doesn't the weight of just the three gyro instruments and the vacuum pump come out to that amount before the battery is taken into account?
Gil, thanks for the comment. That is exactly my thought. I think we did proper weighings in 1999 and yesterday.
- The added right side brakes and Van's map box.
- Added mounts behind baggage area for ADAHRS, compass for the D-6.
- The ADS-B receiver, antenna and wiring - also behind baggage area.
- Added metal in the panel. It is the original panel plus perhaps a 70% overlay along bottom and entire mid portion.
- There is a lot of new wiring with the computer network system, a hub, etc.
- Back-up batteries for the Skyview and D-6 add something.
- I changed from metal to fiberglass gear leg fairings years ago and did not re-do W&B at the time, so maybe the plane was a bit heavier than I thought.
All that said, I was expecting perhaps another 10 pounds of reduction. Not a big deal but annoying. It is still a "heavy" RV6 - 1,092 pounds with 180 and constant speed. A few pounds one way or the other is not going to change that.
Just curious, but why did you move the engine controls?
Originally they were on the vertical panel support as in the RV6 plans. I moved them to the sub-panel to improve access to beneath the panel for inspections, etc.
When I did that it was necessary to offset the sub-panel to the right for knee clearance because I have very long legs (6'4" and 36" inseam) . This drew comments from some of my larger passengers about interfering with their legroom.
With the new layout there was plenty of room to move them up, out of the way and back to the center.


Recent feminist and queer theorizations have turned emphatically away from the ambitions of late twentieth-century universalism in favor of particular forms of life. Lightning, atoms, jellyfish, and fetuses teem from the pages of prominent journals, as do HeLa cells, extinct aurouchs, wooly coral reefs, sacred pipestone, indigenous cosmologies, toxic dumps, and transgender frogs. This patchwork of objects and life-forms has much to say about the ineradicable openness of the world, its disregard for niceties of category and scale. Think, for example, of the many and varied effects of plastic. From problems of sexual differentiation feared for BPA-exposed children to the marine life slowly starving from the microplastic remains of tampon applicators they have mistakenly consumed, plastics make palpable the interchanges between gender, sexuality, and ecology. In a similar fashion, HeLa cells underscore the inextricability of biomedical mattering from racial pseudoscience, a formation Harriet Washington calls "medical apartheid." Humbled before the animations of objects, contemporary queer and feminist theorists are content to let them speak—at least mostly—for themselves.
We are, in other words, in the midst of a new queer particularism. While universalizing theories engender powerful explanatory structures, queer particularism is less committed to knowing things than it is to feeling them. Under the sign of epistemology, humanists and social scientists have staked their claims for political efficacy on the ground of vigorous, truthful, and well-formed descriptions of urgent social problems, with the tacit assumption that such descriptions will engender changed attitudes and actions. Queer particularism takes root in the several schools that have arisen to challenge this assumption, most notably affect theory, new materialism, and speculative realism. These schools seek to evade the closed circle of knower and known and to allow for the agency of other-than-human forces. Together, these fields have begun to put pressure on how knowledge leads to social change. They point to the powerful persuasive effects of aesthetics and style, of sensory intuition, bodily habit, collective entrainment, and other modes of noncognition as well as the force exerted by nonhuman agents of various kinds, from the built environment to the unintentional distribution of psychopharmaceuticals in the waterways.
Or, as Barad asks, "What could be more queer than an atom?" This queer particularism is new, then, insofar as it locates queerness outside of both desire and epistemology. In this sense, it repeats with a difference the terms of the binary opposition upon which queer theory first found its method and its motive. For, in many ways, it was Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's decision to situate the particularity of gay and lesbian experience within the matrix of heterosexual definition that founded the contemporary practice of queer theory as universalist. Rather than arguing for inclusion or touting a uniquely queer aesthetics, Sedgwick's monumental and field-defining Epistemology of the Closet (published in 1990) argues for the structuring co-constitution of hetero- and homosexual definition. Her question is not how best to support and advocate for queer communities and persons, but why such support is necessary to begin with. She asks what forces drive the explosiveness of homophobic violence just as we might summarize Judith Butler's contemporaneous Gender Trouble as asking what fuels misogyny. What Sedgwick finds requires leaving aside particularist (or what she calls "minoritizing") identity formations to recognize the mutually constitutive double bind of homo/heterosexual definition, its structuring paranoia, and its many costly disavowals. It is this sense that she gives to the universalizing view, which sees sexuality as "an issue of continuing, determinative importance in the lives of people across the spectrum of sexualities." Sexual definition precedes the sense and meaning of particular forms of sexual subjectivity and sexed materiality. What matters is the terrain of sexual subjectification from which both hetero- and homosexualities derive their meanings and worldly dispositions.

Learn Personal Defense
Combat SAMBO for Self-Defense
Thinking about learning how to defend yourself with just your hands? This highly effective Russian martial art might be what you're looking for!
Have current events gotten you thinking about learning a martial art for self-protection? One to consider is the highly effective Soviet art of Sambo.
July 06, 2020 By Marco Vorobiev
As with many of my peers growing up in the Soviet Union, I played hockey. I was even good enough to be the captain of our team. I loved hockey as someone loves his first girlfriend. Or at least I did until a few years later when I found my first true love in the Soviet marital art of Sambo. I stumbled into Sambo quite by accident at the age of 13. A bunch of my classmates had joined a Karate Club and I followed suite. At that time in the Soviet Union, Sambo was mandated by the regional Sports Committee as a preparatory discipline prior to beginning your Karate training.
I did not mind, and even competed at some local tournaments. Then the Soviet Head Sports Committee decided to outlaw Karate and scrapped the training programs. It did not matter to me at that point; I was already hooked on Sambo. Eventually my career as a Sambo wrestler took me far and wide. It provided for me, was partially responsible for my education and shaped me into the man I am today. I was fortunate enough to be coached by some of the best, by the legends of the sport. I had the chance to work out with amazing athletes and future legends. I had the honor to represent and compete for my Country.
I first fully realized what a capable, yet practical hand-to-hand combat system Sambo was at the tender age of 14. I and my teammates were at a train station headed to the Zone Competition training camp. As we waited for the train to leave three dimwitted and slightly intoxicated locals attempted to strong arm our coach and relieve him of his money to continue their drinking. Unknown to them the clean-cut bookworm they were attempting to intimidate and rob was Vladimir Pashkin. Pashkin, even at his 'just past competitive prime' age of 31, was an awesome athlete and true master of the art. He was a three-time National Champion in Sambo, World Student Games Champion in Judo, winner of several annual Moscow-Tokyo tournaments and more. To this day Pashkin's Two-Sleeve Back throw hasn't been performed by anyone with the precision matching that of Vladimir himself.
SamBO is a Russian abbreviation for Self-defense (Sam) Without (B) Weapons (O). Developed in the 1920s, it teaches how to overcome multiple armed attackers.
Following a quick introduction, the leader of the brave band laid down their demands. Pashkin did not comply and the leader suddenly swung wildly at my coach. While dodging the punch Pashkin stepped to his left and with a quick back sweep had the leader of the pack flying in a perfectly horizontal position. Gravity soon brought the confused body mass to their ground with a thump. He appeared dead. In an instant, the braver of the two minions decided to avenge their leader by choking our coach to death. He lunged at Pashkin with both of his meaty paws extended. I have to say, this was a slight miscalculation on his part. Over years of tutelage I've learned one thing; you do not extend both hands toward Pashkin. So, the minion flew. He flew like a bird in a great arc with amplitude rivaling that of the Arc de Triumph before crashing down on the concrete tiles of the platform. At this moment, with his two crewmates barely alive the third minion forgot the initial demands and expressed a wish to depart for home. He did go home, but only after answering to a group of angry 14 year old Sambo students.
This incident at the train station changed our lives. Without a punch thrown my coach faced three attackers and took two of them out without so much as popping a button on his white shirt. From then on, every fight that my teammates or I were involved in (involuntarily of course) would have an element of a sweep or throw that usually ended a contest right then and there. This became a point of pride and admiration among us, the Sambo practicing teenage delinquents. Anyone can throw a punch or a kick, but not everyone can throw a person.
The applicability of Sambo for real world scenarios can be seen in its name. SamBO is a Russian abbreviation for Self-defense (Sam) Without (B) Weapons (O). This very capable hand-to-hand combat system was developed in the 1920s by several Russian combat enthusiasts. First Victor Spiridonov a renowned Jujitsu master started to develop a new system of hand-to-hand combat by introducing into Jujitsu elements from other styles of wrestling. In 1923, he started to teach his new system which he called 'Self-defense' at the NKVD Sports Club 'Dynamo' in Moscow.
Later Vasiliy Oschepkov, a graduate of the Japanese Judo University 'Kadokan' and 2nd-degree Black Belt added his Judo based elements to the new system. Anatoly Kharlampiev, who studied ethnic styles of wrestling and hand-to-hand combat, contributed elements from those disciplines to the newly developed martial art. By the 1930s Sambo was recognized as an effective hand-to-hand system of its own and was being taught to the Soviet Militia, NKVD, OGPU and civil defense force. The benefits and effectiveness of the new Soviet developed fighting system soon led the Soviet military to train their elite reconnaissance and scout units in Sambo. Decades later, after proving to be a very effective hand-to-hand system, combat Sambo techniques continue to be taught to the Russian Armed Forces.
The Sambo hand-to-hand combat system was taught to the Soviet Armed Forces from its adaption in the late 1920s, and is still used by the Russian Army today.
Why is Sambo so effective, more so than Judo, Jujitsu, Boxing or Karate? Simply because it was developed around real life and death struggles which take place in combat. Whether apprehending a criminal or capturing an enemy prisoner for interrogation, one had to possess techniques which would allow him or her to complete the mission. In combat you need to have an advantage over your opponent. That advantage for Soviet soldiers was Sambo. Sambo as a system was born from accumulating only the most effective moves and elements, throws, trips, sweeps, chocks, holds, submissions, kicks and punches, arm and leg bars from several martial art systems. At the same time the less effective elements were discarded.
Sambo was designed for professionals who had to react to dynamic situations in a split second and quickly render an opponent incapacitated with only the tools at hand. The only tools available might be just a shovel, rifle butt, stool or only their bare hands. Often they'd have to disarm or dispatch multiple opponents as quickly as possible to continue with their mission. These are the roots of Sambo as a system.
While developed by the Soviets for combat, Sambo is equally practical for the American looking to protect themselves and their family from the pitfalls of everyday life. Robberies, assaults and rape are, unfortunately, everyday occurrences. Often these attacks involve weapons. Properly learned and practiced Sambo techniques can prevent you from becoming a victim. In real life combat, there are no formal stands or proscribed grips. Just remember the schoolyard fights or bar brawls. After a few punches every fight eventually comes to grappling on the ground. Sambo teaches you what to do in particular situations and what elements to deploy against single or multiple opponents, even if they are armed.
The effect of a properly executed Sambo throw is absolutely devastating to the assailant. Especially for those who have never trained in properly breaking a fall. The fight is usually over at this point. As a rule and from my personal experience, after a throw the opponent no longer has the will or capacity to fight. The human brain does not react well to the loss of a base of reference, such as solid ground. It is easy for an untrained person to get 'lost in space'. While in 'space' an untrained person tends to assume a fetal position. This makes the body and vital organs absorb the entire energy of a fall. Add to it the amplified acceleration generated by leverage and the effects are devastating.
In recent years Sambo as a combative system has risen in popularity here in the US. This is due to the Mixed Martial Arts community being exposed to the likes of Oleg Taktarov, Igor Zinoviev and Fedor Emelyanenko. These Sambo fighters all have proven track records in Russia and around the World. They have demonstrated the effectiveness and advantages of the Sambo techniques in the ring and in the Octagon. The effectiveness of Sambo as a viable hand-to-hand combat system was quickly recognized by the MMA community at large. Every MMA Gym in the US now teaches fighters some elements of Sambo.
However, just learning a few leg bars is not enough. The instructor has to be a regular day-to-day Sambo practitioner to properly teach the techniques. Sambo as a system goes beyond just learning throws and grappling. It includes physical preparation, understanding leverage and basic physics. But, most of all it teaches confidence and the ability to execute a technique even in a dire situation. Sambo is strength coupled with technique enhanced by speed and boiled in confidence. Many think Sambo is similar to Judo and if you practice Judo you can become a Sambo wrestler. You can, but that is the exception. In fact, a good Sambo player makes a very good Judoka, but not every exceptional Judoka can make a decent Sambo player.
Due to its practical and effective nature Sambo became extremely popular in Russia, both as a sport and for practical self-defense. Every town had a club.
Like I said, there are many gyms and clubs now offering Sambo training here in the US. As a rule, most these are affiliated with MMA training. Choosing a good instructor can be problematic. As I've said earlier I had the fortune to be taught by many great coaches. However, I have also come across some bad ones too. Often athletes are 'bound' to their coaches due to a lack of alternatives. But here in the US we have choices. A good place to start is with the US Sambo Association (ussambo.com). They can help with locating a qualified instructor. But ultimately getting the right instruction lays on the student's shoulders.
First and foremost I believe the instructor must possess the dedication and commitment to the discipline of SAMBO. Things like, "I am a 3rd degree Black Belt in Aikido, but I also teach Judo, Sambo and Jujitsu" would be the first indication you will not learn Sambo at that gym. The other pitfall is when the instructor tells you how many seminars he or she has taken with unashamed name-dropping.
The instructor you are looking for is someone who has been practicing Sambo for several years. You want someone who has trained under known Sambo instructors, preferably abroad. I suggest someone who has actually competed in Sports or Combat Sambo competition. Someone who has accumulated and possesses the only thing which cannot be lost, experience. Experience, unlike physical strength and conditioning, can be transferred.
Of course one has to understand that not every coach or instructor is or was a great athlete. Not all become a World or Olympic Champion. But more often than not a true scholar of the sport and outstanding coach comes from the ranks of former good, solid competitors, and rarely from the ranks of great champions. These are the ones who made the champions great and continue to do so year after year. The great instructor with dedication to Sambo and competitive experience would be able to introduce/teach a technique, then break it down to fit any and all practitioners individually. He or she would break down an individual wrestler/fighter based on his or her physique and abilities. Then mold the Sambo elements around them making each one of them a unique fighter with his or her individual style. That's who I would want to be my coach.
Learning Sambo techniques and practicing them does not mean you have to drop everything and become an athlete who competes at tournaments. No. But, one can possess the knowledge that one day may come in handy, like an additional survival skill. Think of it as another tool in your proverbial toolbox of knowledge. Except I'd like to think of Sambo as a multi-tool that one day might save your life.

El río Taniúrer (también transliterado Tanyurer) (en ruso, Танюрер) es un río asiático de la Siberia Oriental que discurre por la península de Chukchi, un afluente por la izquierda del río Anádyr. Tiene una longitud de 482 km y drena una cuenca de 18.500 km² (similar a países como Israel o Eslovenia).

Administrativamente, todo el río y su cuenca pertenecen al distrito autónomo de Chukotka de la Federación de Rusia.

Geografía
El río Tanyurer nace en los montes Pekulney y se encamina en dirección media meridional en un amplio valle a menudo pantanoso, con numerosos lagos y lagunas, hasta desaguar por la margen izquierda en el río Anádyr en su curso bajo.

El río discurre por una zona de clima muy extremo de bosque-tundra, lo que provoca largos períodos de congelamiento (en general, desde primeros  de noviembre a finales de mayo/primeros de junio) y la ausencia de ciudades a lo largo de su curso. En su curso se encuentran pequeños asentamientos como Kabanova, Karganai, Shitikova, y Tamiurer, casi en la boca. En el tramo más bajo el río es navegable.

La vegetación de la región está formada por musgos, líquenes, arbustos enanos y juncia. En el río son comunes las especies de salmón Oncorhynchus keta y Oncorhynchus nerka.

The evolution of Sundance
by Roger Ebert
PARK CITY, Utah -- The most important little film festival in America opened here Thursday. The Sundance Film Festival, the annual trade fair for filmmakers working outside the studio system, will screen more than 100 films before industry-savvy audiences. People who got off the plane flat broke may fly out of town, clutching contracts. Maybe if we're lucky, there will even be another shoving match in a restaurant, like the one last year between guys from Fine Line and Miramax who both thought they bought the rights to the same film.
Sundance, launched in the early 1980s as a showcase for American independent filmmakers, was in its first years an event so humble that the award ceremony was held in a conference room at the local Holiday Inn. I remember going to screenings with all of two dozen people in the audience and moderating a panel discussion with Jonathan ("The Silence of the Lambs") Demme in front of the fireplace at the self-same Holiday Inn, where half of the audience consisted of skiers who had wandered in by accident.
Today the festival is an obligatory destination for young filmmakers showcasing their first films. It is a must stop, too, for agents looking for the next Demme, Tarantino or Soderbergh, and for distributors who want to snap up the rights to this year's "sex, lies, and videotape," "Pulp Fiction," "Hoop Dreams," "Crumb," "The Brothers McMullen" or "Shine" (the film that provoked last year's shoving match - Fine Line won). It was joked a few years ago that Sundance was popular because agents were looking for a way to ski on their expense accounts. Today the joke is that no one has time to ski; the business done here is simply too important.
The success of Sundance is a reflection of a seismic shift in the importance of independent films - films defined as being made without major studio support, without big budgets and usually (but not always) without big stars. Fifteen years ago, such films were seen as an entry ticket for directors hoping to break into the majors. Today they are seen as the lifeblood of American cinema; as the majors specialize in brain-dead $80 million special-effects blockbusters, the Sundance-style project is where good movies now live.
Evidence: A recent issue of Variety headlines the fear of the major studios that three or four of this year's five Oscar best-picture nominees may be independent films.
An insider is quoted as saying that the quality of indie contenders and the shabby level of big studio productions should shame the Hollywood establishment. In a year of "Fargo," "Shine," "The English Patient," "Breaking the Waves," "Secrets and Lies" and "Lone Star," what are the big studio entries? "Jerry Maguire"?
As major productions have grown more expensive, indie films have grown more expensive, too, although they rarely cost more than $10 million. And there's still room for a movie like "The Brothers McMullen," a 1995 Sundance winner, which cost about $24,000.
Big-name actors are increasingly willing to be seen in these "little" films, which once signaled a career in eclipse, but now may indicate a career in turn-around: John Travolta's role in "Pulp Fiction" signaled the rebirth of his career, and new stars like Lili Taylor and Steve Buscemi do most of their work in indie films. For Gen X actors like Winona Ryder, Leonardo DiCaprio, Drew Barrymore and Johnny Depp, appearing in offbeat productions is a way of maintaining their outsider images.
This festival began as an offshoot of Robert Redford's Sundance Institute, the summer school for aspiring young writers and directors held every year at Redford's Sundance resort above Provo, Utah. Originally called the Park City Film Festival, it was renamed to reflect its roots, and Redford can still be seen every year, schmoozing with the hot new talents and established power brokers (Clint Eastwood, Jeffrey Katzenberg and the omnipresent Tarantino) who jet in from Los Angeles. Also haunting the screenings are figures like legendary French movie scout Pierre Rissient, whose word in the ear of Gilles Jacob can get one of these films selected for the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Sundance is not really equipped to deal with a festival of this size, but it marshals all its resources. Movies run from 9 a.m. to midnight, and there are parties every night in the local bars and restaurants - underwritten by everyone from the cable channel Bravo and the Independent Film Channel to a kid offering pizza and beer after the premiere of his student film.
Looking through this year's schedule, I see familiar names among the titles. Directors like Steve ("Hoop Dreams") James, back with "Prefontaine," about a pioneering runner; David ("Blue Velvet") Lynch, whose "Lost Highway" offers a surrealistic dream version of Los Angeles, and Richard ("Before Sunrise") Linklater, whose "SubUrbia" has a screenplay by Eric Bogosian about the disaffected children of the mall culture.
And there are actors like John Turturro, Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr., Patricia Arquette, Jason Alexander, Thandie Newton - and the late Tupac Shakur (in "Gridlock'd" by Vondie Curtis-Hall, co-starring with Tim Roth in the story of two druggie performance artists).
Those are familiar names. What is exciting about Sundance is that unknown names will become familiar during the week. Actors and directors now unknown to me will generate a buzz for their films, be pointed out in restaurants, and be courted by agents and distributors. And the next time I write about Sundance, I will include their names in the lists of the festival's discoveries.
I remember two years ago when Edward Burns won for "The Brothers McMullen" and turned in an instant from a production assistant on a New York TV show into a famous young American director. And I remember Terry Zwigoff from the same year. After his remarkable documentary "Crumb" won a prize, he observed in his acceptance speech that now he would be able to pay for his return ticket and fly back home.

Civil Engineer with 20 years specialising in Water Environment. Reputation for optimising environmental benefit whilst minimising cost.
I always had a passion for problem solving. I really didn't have a clue what I wanted to do but when researching different options I was drawn towards Civil Engineering as it seemed to be confronted with the most diverse spread of problems requiring solutions.
Born in Morocco with French and Mauritian parents, both of whom were nurses and were drawn to the UK to work in the NHS.
I was a bit of a mischief-maker as a kid and only realised my academic potential when joining Grammar School at 13. Did OK at GCSE and A-level although I spent most of my time partying and playing rugby.
Lost my parents quite young, which gave me a good kick up the backside to get a bit more serious about life.
Threw myself at my last couple of years at university in Brighton and gained a 1st class honours degree. Decided that I was not quite ready to make the career leap and so sourced a European grant and found a Civil Engineering course in Grenoble, France to enrol on for a year. Ticked some boxes by passing the course, improving French, getting insight into different approaches and learning to ski.
Cue Black & Veatch. On return to the UK I found my first proper job as a Graduate Engineer designing rail, bridge and water treatment schemes and gave me some good site experience around the country as an RE. This quickly exposed my naivety about the industry and accelerated my learning about commercial and contractual games which existed in construction. In other words I soon stopped asking for tartan paint and long weights.
Made the difficult break from my beloved London to settle down with my wife-to-be nearer to her family home in Leicestershire.
Cue Haswell Consulting in Birmingham, a subsidiary of Severn Trent Water, which provided me with opportunity to quickly progress my career moving from design engineer on individual sewerage schemes through to Group Manager responsible for a large design team delivering a £100M sewerage and pollution management programme across the region. Haswell was absorbed into Severn Trent Water and it was evident that constraints and bureaucracy associated with working within a utility company did not suit me.
Cue BWB Consulting. Like a breath of fresh air a dynamic and entrepreneurial organisation which really aligned well with my own values. Initially appointed to grow a Flood Risk and Water Environment team in Birmingham but once achieved, in a framework of meritocracy I soon progressed to managing the whole division. I am now the Service Director for Water Environment and proud of my team's standing and reputation for excellence in flood risk and water sectors.
Raynesway Business Park in Derby. A site which many other consultants had tried to deliver and failed. Originally, very contentious due to its location in the floodplain. I lived and breathed the job for about a year to try and successfully resolve long standing objections. Now it has been built, with its large scale flood storage, wetland areas and hydraulic structures it is regarded by the local authority, Wildlife Trust and Environment Agency as an exemplar project for developing in areas of flood risk.
Loving life with my wife and two sons. Enjoying any spare time following Leicester Tigers, cooking, mountain biking or snowboarding/skiing. However recently rebuilt my house and may have to put ski holidays on hold for a few years.

Discontinued Muslim Ban Slashed Immigration From Countries Affected
Katharina Buchholz,
Immigration/migration in the United States
On day one of his presidency, new U.S. leader Joe Biden revoked former President Donald Trump's executive order 13780 - better known as the Muslim Ban. Trump had initiated the travel and immigration ban focused on Muslim majority countries in January 2017, shortly after he took office.
Over the course of its lifespan, the ban has majorly reduced new U.S. residents from the places affected. New residents from Yemen were a lot fewer – their numbers were reduced by 72 percent between 2016 and 2019, the latest year for which data is available. While in FY 2016, almost 13,000 Yemenis took up residence in the United States, that number was reduced to around 3,500 in FY 2019 after having reached a low of 1,600 in FY 2018. The number of new residents from Somalia shrunk by a comparable extend, while new residents from Iran and Syria were 55 percent and almost 60 percent fewer over the same time frame.
The analysis of DHS data excludes refugees and asylees from the count since they are often in the United States years before officially taking up residence because of slow asylum proceedings and a considerable backlog. Earlier versions of the ban had targeted immigrants from two more Muslim majority countries, Iraq and Sudan. By revoking Trump's order, Biden also threw out immigration limitations that were tacked onto the ban over its lifetime. These included a ban for all entries of North Korean citizens (in place since 2017) and immigrant arrivals by citizens of Nigeria, Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan and Eritrea (in place since early 2020). Furthermore, citizens of Tanzania and Sudan are no longer banned from the U.S. diversity lottery and employees of Venezuelan government agencies and their families can once again enter the U.S. for tourism or business.

Q: How do I append blob to dom? I'm new to blobs, so I'm hoping for a little direction to save hours more of fruitless brute-force attempts.
I use the below php (from here) to return the base64-encoded image from my database to the get javascript function.
echo '<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'.base64_encode( $row['Photo'] ).'"==/>';

In javascript with console.log(this.responseText), I can see the encoding. But I'm not sure how it's appended to the dom so I can see the image in the webpage.
I'm used to appending to the dom in the following way:
var photo = document.createElement('img');
photo.src = X;
document.body.insertBefore(photo,document.body.firstChild);

But presumably some decoding is required on client side.
I'd be happy with a link to another stackoverflow question if you know a fitting one.
Most of the stackoverflow questions on the subject I have found (e.g.) get to decoding or the echoing, but not an explicit treatment of including that image in the DOM.
Any help appreciated.

A: The solution, as given by @CertainPerformance, is a trivial variation on the linked solutions given elsewhere.
Echoing back the following allows for appending to the DOM as expected:
echo 'data:image/jpeg;base64,'.base64_encode( $row['Photo'] );


The majority of items in Martha Usher Osgood Papers consist of personal correspondence addressed to Mrs. Martha Hooper (Usher) Osgood from Annie Fields (Mrs. James T. Fields) between 1857 and 1900 (97 items). Many references are made to Mrs. Osgood's frequent gifts of flowers from her Maine garden, especially her annual gift of spring mayflowers which she sent to Boston. For students of the life of Annie Fields or of her husband, there is some mention of their activities and whereabouts, particularly those connected to her relationship with author Sarah Orne Jewett. Of special interest is a letter written by Mrs. Osgood to her sister Rebecca Usher describing the Fields's house on Charles Street, its furnishings, and the luncheon Mrs. Osgood enjoyed there. In the small number of letters (9 items) written by Sarah Orne Jewett to Mrs. Osgood, she writes about her literary efforts in the 1880s. Both Sarah Orne Jewett and Annie Fields make reference to their tastes in literature in the reading lists they provided to Mrs. Osgood. Folder 10 contains two items from James Russell Lowell that allude to Mrs. Osgood's floral gifts and to several of his personal problems. Folder 11 includes a letter to Mrs. Fields from Charles Eliot Norton, in which he discusses a slanderous attack on James Russell Lowell following his death.
Gift of Miss Margaret H. Jewell.
James T. Fields House, 148 Charles St., Boston, Mass.

Q: Windows Identity Foundation: How to get new security token in ASP.net I'm writing an ASP.net application that uses Windows Identity Foundation.  My ASP.net application uses claims-based authentication with passive redirection to a security token service.  This means that when a user accesses the application, they are automatically redirected to the Security Token Service where they receive a security token which identifies them to the application.
In ASP.net, security tokens are stored as cookies.
I want to have something the user can click on in my application that will delete the cookie and redirect them to the Security Token Service to get a new token.  In short, make it easy to log out and log in as another user.  I try to delete the token-containing cookie in code, but it persists somehow.
How do I remove the token so that the user can log in again and get a new token?

A: I found the solution.  To put it succinctly:

   Dim smartWsFederationAuthenticationModule As  _
        Microsoft.IdentityModel.Web.WSFederationAuthenticationModule = _
        HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.Modules("WSFederationAuthenticationModule")
    smartWsFederationAuthenticationModule.SignOut(True)

See here for more information: http://garrettvlieger.com/blog/2010/03/refreshing-claims-in-a-wif-claims-aware-application/
I also see that I can get handles to some other parts of the WIF framework this was, as well.  It's definitely worth the read.

A: Cookies are a bit strange.  They are managed by the browser and there is no "Method" to delete them.  Just deleting them from the Request or Response objects on the server side does not remove them from the browser on the client side.
To "Delete" a cookie you have to set it's expiration date to the past.

Coronavirus news from the city of Anaheim for May 14, 2021
Anaheim continues to recover from the coronavirus outbreak with vaccines, testing, community assistance and updates at Anaheim.net/coronavirus and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
The newsletter is a weekly summary. This week's issue includes:
Anaheim and OC case update
Vaccine update
What's ahead
Mask update
We thank everyone in Anaheim for doing your part to fight coronavirus in our community, and we want you to know that as your city, we're here for you.
Anaheim cases: 41,928
We continue to see low COVID-19 case numbers for Anaheim and Orange County, as we increase vaccinations and stop the spread of the virus.
It's important we continue to fight COVID in all we do and get vaccinated, if you haven't done so already.
Anaheim saw an increase of 39 cases in the past seven days, up from 30 the week prior, while Orange County saw 406 new cases, up from 383.
Case levels remain at low levels with slightly higher cases this week over last, but not unusual or concerning.
Anaheim is at a cumulative 41,928 cases, with 5,391 among children.
Orange County is at a cumulative 254,637 cases, with 26,687 among children.
Sadly, Anaheim has seen 881 people pass from complications of COVID-19, the condition caused by coronavirus. The county has seen a total of 5,028 deaths.
Our hearts go out to the families who have lost someone dear to them.
The county has processed a total of 3,784,909 polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, tests, the standard for diagnosing COVID-19 cases.
Anaheim and Orange County remain in orange Tier 3, the second most permissive in the state's reopening framework.
As of May 11, the county's case and positivity rates have been within the yellow Tier 4 criteria for one week. We'll need to maintain these numbers for at least two weeks before formally advancing to the yellow Tier 4, which is expected as early as May 20.
The county's current case rate is 1.8 per 100,000 residents.
The county's current positivity rate is 1 percent.
The county's current positivity rate among our harder-hit, low-income communities is 1.2 percent.
The colored, restrictive tier system is set to be retired as early as June 15, with Anaheim, Orange County and all of California moving to a largely normal operations with masks, vaccines and testing. The next phase of reopening is known as Beyond the Blueprint.
Read more at Anaheim.net/reopening.
We continue to dispense vaccines in our city at the Anaheim Convention Center and at mobile clinics in neighborhoods.
In our data below we include the percent of Anaheim residents who have been vaccinated, based on state data.
See more on vaccines below.
Here's a look at the latest data by ZIP codes in our city.

Find regular updates at Anaheim.net/coronavirus and on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Vaccines: where we're at
More than 60 percent of eligible Anaheim residents have received at least one vaccine dose with an estimated 50 percent fully vaccinated.
With big gains over the past few weeks, the Super POD at Anaheim Convention Center is set to close after the last vaccines are administered on June 5.
This is a great milestone. The convention center and the Anaheim POD at Disneyland Resort, which closed April 30, played critical roles getting our city to a high level of vaccination.
Now we are upping our focus on neighborhood clinics.
With our partners, Anaheim Community Services is holding two to three weekly vaccination clinics in neighborhoods.
While smaller in scope, the neighborhood clinics are strategically important and will help us get to 70 percent vaccination or higher.
To see and sign up for upcoming clinics go to Anaheim.net/vaccines. You can also just walk up.
Many neighborhood clinics are offering the Pfizer vaccine, which allows children 12 and older to get vaccinated when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
And through June 5, getting vaccinated at the Anaheim Convention Center has never been easier. You can make an appointment or walk right in. Both Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are offered.
You can see more at Anaheim.net/vaccines.
What's ahead: yellow Tier 4
On Tuesday, Orange County is expected to log its second week with numbers that qualify for the state's yellow Tier 4 reopening phase.
Changes would then go into effect 48 hours later, or Thursday morning.
It's another great sign of progress and proof that vaccines are working right before our very eyes.
At this point, changes are smaller and incremental. Here are some key changes:
· Angel Stadium of Anaheim: 67 percent capacity, up from 33 percent
· Honda Center: 10 percent capacity; higher with vaccination or testing verification
· Disneyland theme parks: 35 percent, in-state only, up from 25 percent
· Bars: reopen indoors at 25 percent
You can see more at Anaheim.net/reopening.
What's up with masks?
There's been a lot of talk about masks this week!
So what does the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control mean for Anaheim?
First off, it's a great sign of progress and another reason to get vaccinated.
Per the guidance, those fully vaccinated should be able to go without masks and social distancing indoors and out.
But there is no immediate change just yet for California, though that is coming.
The California Department of Public Health and CalOSHA still need to adopt the new CDC guidance.
This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated he's looking to ease California's mask requirements by June 15.
CalOSHA, which oversees workplaces, has said it is looking to ease mask rules by August.
Given the CDC's latest guidance, it's likely we see change sooner in California.
We will pass along any updates as they come from the state.
For now, continue following state mask guidelines and be mindful of others who might still benefit from mask wearing. But know change is around the corner.
And if you haven't gotten vaccinated, now's the time.
See Anaheim.net/vaccines for more.

After monitoring the success of open-air night markets in neighboring countries, Myanmar's Restaurant Association is planning to open the city's first open-air night market by the end of 2014. Concerned that office staff, students and visitors to Yangon had nowhere to gather within a social environment in the evenings, the Myanmar Restaurant Association are planning a night market comprising food stalls, book shops, handicraft vendors and fortune tellers.
It is expected that up to 150 businesses will participate in the market to be located close to Maha Bandoola Park in downtown Yangon. A program is in the pipeline to ensure shop owners sell their goods at fair prices and though the total nights per week it will remain open is not yet finalized, its operation on Saturday and Sunday is guaranteed.
The night market will be a welcome addition to the Yangon evening scene, providing a meeting place and chance for visitors to peruse local handicrafts and sample an assortment of Burmese cuisine in one place.
