1 Current imaging techniques
A grainy Polaroid of the child in a mother's womb – an X-ray of a tibia fractured in a traffic accident – a report on a brain scan anxiously awaited. Very few of us have not had some connection with the techniques and practices of medical imaging.

Imaging is a central feature of contemporary medicine. Along with c

In both cases, many new firms entered the industry, introduced new varieties of the product, and soon left the industry, leaving only a few dozen firms to compete during the growth phase. By 1926 only 33 per cent of the firms that had started producing automobiles during the previous 22 years had survived. In the case of PCs, by 1999 only 20 per cent of the fi

The Coliseum is currently home to the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball and the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League. The Coliseum is also home to the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer, who use the stadium for several larger attendance games.
The arena has been home to the Golden State Warriors since 1966, excepting the one-year hiatus. The California Golden Bears of the Pac-10 played the entire 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons at the arena while their primary home, Harmon Gym, was being renovated into Haas Pavilion. For some years before then, the Bears played occasional games against popular non-conference opponents at the arena.

If you give regularly to Olivet, please consider using our secure link to Vanco or the Give+ mobile app to set up a recurring option. The process is easy and only takes a few minutes. There are options to give from a card or from a bank account. Please note that the cost to Olivet for bank transactions is less than card transactions.
Giving is a "big deal"! Most of us try to practice generosity, but the question is always "who" to give to and "why" them? Today, thanks to all the media we have access to, there seems to be no shortage of ministries and individuals who are letting us know how our giving will make a difference in their circumstance. Some might view the church as the never-ending "Go Fund Me" campaign, but it is so much more. The local church is the living, active presence of God in its community…not existing for its own needs and gratification…but for the glory of God and the benefit of those it comes in contact with.
First and foremost, giving demonstrates God's lordship (authority) in our lives.
Everything we own and everything we have comes from God. When we give, we return a very small portion of all the abundance he has already given to us. Giving is an expression of our thankfulness and praise to God. It recognizes that everything we give already belongs to him.
Giving should be personal, proportional, and joyful.
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. "For God loves a person who gives cheerfully." And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you ned and plenty left over to share with others.
We can't pretend that we don't think about money (sometimes worry and even obsess about money). God wants us to think about Him as we prepare to give- how He has blessed us, what He is asking us to give, and then simply obeying with enthusiasm.
We grow and are blessed when we give.
God wants us to give because He knows how blessed we will be as we practice generosity toward Him and to others. God doesn't NEED our money! Giving is a kingdom principle—it brings more blessing to the giver than to the recipient.

Rediscovering the magic of Mazatlán
Arts & Entertainment Featured News
by Dave McKibben December 2, 2021 2146
When I first visited Mazatlán over 35 years ago, the journey – a 20-hour slog on a cramped train from the border town of Nogales through a slew of tiny Mexican villages — was the most memorable part of the trip. Since moving to San Diego in the late 1980s, I've been to dozens of Mexican cities, but Mazatlán never reentered the picture.
Earlier this month, I gave this colonial port city that sits on the northern Pacific Coast of the Sinaloa state a second chance. This time I made it to Mazatlán in just over two hours, flying nonstop out of Tijuana International Airport after parking my car at the Cross Border Xpress and taking a five-minute stroll across CBX's enclosed pedestrian sky bridge.
Why the Cross Border Xpress? Flights to Mazatlán out of San Diego were over $700 with two or three stops. My direct flight from Tijuana to Mazatlán was less than $200.
When my wife and I arrived on a Monday night on the first day of November, the city was bubbling with anticipation for the week's events. As it turns out, our timing was perfect — Mazatlán was celebrating Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos, a two-day Mexican holiday where families honor their relatives who've died.

Many visit the graves of loved ones and build elaborate altars featuring bright flowers and decorations. The sacred holiday, which stems from pre-Hispanic traditions brings those who left Mexico back home, which may explain why our Monday afternoon flight was so packed.
This year's Day of the Dead celebration was especially poignant for the nearly 600-year-old city, known for having one largest shrimping ports in the world and 17 miles of idyllic beaches. Last year's festivities were canceled because of pandemic restrictions.
The city's first annual Day of the Dead parade through the cobblestone streets in Mazatlán's Centro Histórico wasn't green-lighted by the city's mayor, Luis Guillermo Benitez Torres, until late October.
"Most people in Mazatlán are now vaccinated, so we've been opening up little by little," Benitez Torres said. "This Day of the Dead celebration is the grand opening for these kinds of activities."

The mayor looked on proudly as the streets overflowed on an 80-degree night with thousands of Mazatlán residents taking in the parade's pageantry of elaborate floats, dancing pirates, marching bands and fire jugglers.
The parade was preceded by a mesmerizing performance by a local theater troupe at the Angela Peralta Theater, a stunning 19th-century opera house named for Mexico's diva of the day.
The narrow streets of Old Mazatlán after dark have a Paris or New Orleans French Quarter vibe with lively outdoor cafes, street vendors, murals, boutique hotels and renovated buildings with elaborate railings and ornate facades.
Benitez Torres, who became Mazatlán's first mayor to win reelection, seems intent on turning his city into a tourist destination that rivals Puerto Vallarta, which lies 370 miles south.
"We are part of a national transformation movement to root out corruption," Torres said. "All of the money that corruptors used to take is invested now in the streets, a new Malecon, the soccer and baseball stadiums, a world-class terminal for the cruise ships and a new aquarium. The objective is to make Mazatlán the best visitor destination in Mexico."
Plenty of boats and ocean views in the colonial port city. Photo courtesy of Pueblo Bonito Resorts
Mazatlán is just getting the party started with its Day of The Dead festivities. The city's Carnival, which started in 1898, is the third-largest in the world behind Brazil and New Orleans. The week of nonstop partying begins Feb. 24 next year and runs to March 3. The parade often draws over a half-million to the streets.
For dramatic panoramic views of the city, the hike up to the lighthouse, Faro Mazatlán, is a must. The hike itself is relatively easy, taking about 20 minutes, and is paved with over 300 steps. Once you climb to the top, there's an impressive glass bridge, which happens to be a spectacular spot for a picture.
The recently opened Observatory is an excellent way to experience the history and culture of Mazatlán. Visitors are treated to a 40-minute guided tour of the building that dates to 1873. A bird sanctuary housing mostly rescued parrots, macaws and toucans allows visitors to interact and even feed the birds a snack.
And for those interested in tequila and mezcal, part of the tour includes the history of how these agave-based spirits are made. If you're thirsty after the tour, stop at the bar for a cold Pacifico, founded and brewed in Mazatlán.

For baseball fans who can't wait until next February for the start of spring training, the first pitch for Mazatlán Venados of the Mexican Pacific League began in November and continues through February. The Venados' stadium was recently remodeled, doubling in size from 8,000 to 16,000 seats.
The soccer 27,000-seat soccer stadium, home to Mazatlán F.C., opened last year and is one of the jewels of the Liga, Mex, Mexico's renowned professional soccer league. In the spring, the city will unveil a $70 million aquarium in Parque Central. The public-private project will include 19 exhibit rooms, four million liters of water in its tanks and 260 species.
Places to stay and eat
Fresh off a $27-million makeover, the original Pueblo Bonito beachfront resort is a perfect spot for romantic getaways or family vacations. Located along the city's Golden Zone, the lush tropical resort offers 248 guest suites, most with ocean views, two pools and four restaurants, including a new oceanfront bar.
The all-inclusive brand's other Mazatlán hotel, Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay, is a 414-room property overlooking a breathtaking crescent beach in an exclusive area known as New Mazatlán.

After a hike or a round of golf at Marina Mazatlán or Estrella de Mar golf courses, resort guests can unwind with a dip in the 80-degree Pacific Ocean or a pair of oceanfront pools with swim-up bars.
Still not relaxed? A soothing massage, body scrub, detoxifying body wrap or facial at the Armonia Spa isn't a bad way to end the day. Mazatlán is all about seafood and there's no better place to enjoy it than Casa 46, which has a spectacular view of Plaza Machado.
The elegant restaurant is a transformed museum offering cuisine influenced by French, Spanish, German, Asian and American culture. It's hard to go wrong ordering fresh, locally caught shrimp anywhere in Mazatlán — the wrapped shrimp almond tartare appetizer and shrimp confit in lobster butter with bacon, butter broccoli and passion fruit mole are to die for.

Q: What is "emacs load-path"? I want to change my emacs source code theme. They say in emacswiki that I have to add the .el file in a directory in my load-path, but what is my load-path? And how do I access it?

A: Take a look at the Load Path page on emacswiki: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LoadPath
Basically, you want to add the directory like so:

Q: Data Type Cast Won't Stick in SSIS I'm trying to automate a process with SSIS that exports data into a flat file (.csv) that is then saved to a directory, where it will be scanned and imported by some accounting software. The software (unfortunately) only recognizes dates that are in MM/DD/YYYY fashion. I have tried every which way to cast or convert the data pulled from SQL to be in the MM/DD/YYYY, but somehow the data is always recognized as either a DT_Date or DT_dbDate data type in the flat file connection, and saved down as YYYY-MM-DD.
I've tried various combinations of data conversion, derived columns, and changing the properties of the flat file columns to string in hopes that I can at least use substring operations to get this formatted correctly, but it never fails to save down as YYYY-MM-DD. It is truly baffling. The preview in the OLE DB source will show the dates as "MM/DD/YYYY" but somehow it always changes to "YYYY-MM-DD" when it hits the flat file.
I've tried to look up solutions (for example, here: Stubborn column data type in SSIS flat flat file connection manager won't change. :() but with no luck. Amazingly if I merely open the file in Excel and save it, it will then show dates in a text editor as "MM/DD/YYYY", only adding more mystery to this Bermuda Triangle-esque caper.
If there are any tips, I would be very appreciative.

A: It's been a while but I just came across this today because I had the same issue and hope to be able to spare someone the trouble of figuring it out.  What worked for me was adding a new field in the Derived Column transform rather than trying to change the existing field.
Edit
I can't comment on Troy Witthoeft's answer, but wanted to note that if you have a Date type input, you wouldn't be able to do SUBSTRING.  Instead, you could use something like this:
(DT_WSTR,255)(MONTH([Visit Date])) + "/" + (DT_WSTR,255)(DAY([Visit Date])) + "/" + (DT_WSTR,255)(YEAR([Visit Date]))

A: This is a date formatting issue.
In SQL and in SSIS, dates have one literal string format and that is YYYY-MM-DD.  Ignore the way they appear to you in the data previewer and/or Excel.  Dates are displayed to you based upon your Windows regional prefrences.

Above - unlike the US - folks in the UK will see all dates as DD/MM/YYYY.  The way we are shown dates is NOT the way they are stored on disk.  When you open in Excel it does this conversion as a favor.  It's not until you SAVE that the dates are stored - as text - according to your regional preferences.
In order to get dates to always display the same way.  We need to save them not as dates, but as strings of text.  TO do this, we have to get the data out of a date column DT_DATE or DT_DBDATE and into a string column: DT_STR or DT_WSTR.   Then, map this new string column into your csv file.  Two ways to do this "date-to-string" conversion...
First, have SQL do it.  Update your OLE DB Source query and add one more column...
SELECT
    *,
    CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), MyDateColumn, 101) AS MyFormattedDateColumn
FROM MyTable

The other way is let SSIS do it.  Add a Derived Column component with the expression
 SUBSTRING([MyDateColumn],6,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([MyDateColumn],8,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING([MyDateColumn],1,4)

Map the string columns into your csv file, NOT the date columns.  Hope this helps.

Seniors:
No county league this weekend as we have a break until we welcome John Mitchels to Strand Road in round 5 next week. We lie one point ahead of Mitchels in the league table ( 5 vs 4) with Mitchels having drawn two of their four games to date ( vs St Marys and Templenoe) beating Dingle with their only loss being to Beaufort. For our part, losing to Legion last weekend saw us taste defeat for the first time in the current competition so the lads will be anxious to resume winning ways and maintain their place in the group. A close encounter is anticipated and given its a local derby, the game could go either way. Throw in on Sat evening will be at 17.00
Division 5:
Our B team return to action next weekend when Kilgarvan come to Strand Road on Sunday afternoon where throw in is @14.00 . Our form has been patchy to date but the recent displays against Churchill and Asdee were encouraging so another good display is hoped for.
Charlie Kerins:
We had our first outing in this competition on Friday night last when going under to Cordal on a final score line of 1-15 to 1-11. This was a game where we were competitive throughout and with a bit of luck could have come away with the spoils.
Team: Cillian Moran, Gavin Ryan, Kieran Mangan, Keith Brosnan, Aidan Mangan, Jason O'Leary, Anthony O'Connor, Thomas McGrath, Shane O'Sullivan, Gearóid Hartnett, Rory Molloy, Donagh O'Brien, Shane Flavin, James O'Connor, Ken Savage.
U-17: A special under 17 competition will take place over the coming two weeks, based on teams of 9 a side, the competition kicks off this coming Weds night May 23rd at various venues throughout the county.

Games will be 12 minutes in each half, and 16 teams from 24 will advance round 2 which will be played on Monday 28th.
Membership is now overdue so if you have not renewed to date please do so as soon as possible.
There was no winner of last week's jackpot of €4,000 where the winning numbers drawn were: 6, 8, 24 & 30. Noreen O'Connor matched 3 and wins €25.

Style This Life - A capsule wardrobe journey.
Wow, I had the shopping bug this month. I think there were a few things at play that contributed. There was the extra temptation of having new spring styles showing up left and right on my Instagram feed and email inbox.
When I chose this brick long-sleeve tee back in January I envisioned it as a perfect accent color to my favorite sienna/umber/rust items. It was still cold and snowy and every other school district around us canceled, so I chose my coziest sweater and added a layer underneath for warmth.

Apple hikes prices of iPhones due to increased custom duties in India
Eshwar Venkatesh
All, Updates
image source: Business Insider
India is known as one of the costliest places to buy iPhones and other Apple products, all thanks to the extremely high import duties imposed on these devices. Despite Apple taking steps such as setting up new assembly lines and factories in india Apple has failed to reduce the cost of iPhones, and make it even worse Apple has announced an increase in the prices of iPhones in india, citing changes made to import duties in the Union Budget 2020.
Following the hike, the iPhone 11 Pro Max will start from ₹1,11,200 (~$1528) for the 64 GB variant, while the 256 GB version will cost ₹1,25,200 (~$1721). The 512 GB will retail for ₹1,43,200(~$1968). Prior to the increase, the 64 GB variant of iPhone 11 Pro Max had a starting price of ₹1,09,000 (~$1498).
Price of iPhone 11 Pro will also increase marginally, with the 64 GB variant selling for ₹1,01,200 (~$1390) compared with ₹99,900 (~$1373) earlier. The 256 GB will now cost ₹1,15,200 (~$1583) and the 512 GB will retail for ₹1,33,200 (~$1830). Prices of iPhone 11 Pro series have been raised by ₹1,300 (~$17).
Prices of iPhone 8 have also increased, with the 64 GB variant of iPhone 8 Plus now priced at ₹50,600 (~$695), and the 128 GB at ₹55,600 (~$764). The earlier starting price for the model was ₹49,900 (~$685). The 64 GB and 128 GB variants of iPhone 8 will sell for ₹40,500 (~$556) and ₹45,500 (~$625) respectively.
Prices of iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 7, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac laptops have not been raised. The company assembles iPhone XR and iPhone 7 in India, which is why prices for these phones have not changed. The other products are imported from China.
Apple said prices are being hiked due to an increase in the basic customs duty (BCD) rate and the withdrawal of "earlier exemption from BCD/Social Welfare Surcharge" announced by the government in the Union Budget for 2020-21.
The company is preparing to launch its first online store in India this year, chief executive Tim Cook said in a shareholders' meeting recently. Cook also said that the company plans to launch its first brick and mortar retail store in India in 2021.
Being able to open its own stores in India will allow Apple to increase its product portfolio here and also offer other services such as the full-fledged AppleCare service. While the company does sell almost all its products here in India, retailing through its own channels will allow greater control on pricing. That said, products being wholly imported from overseas will still be impacted by changes in taxes.

This page is dedicated to photos that I have take around the city of Austin Texas. These photos are mostly taken around downtown.
Downtown can be a crowded place and it can be difficult to find a parking place, so I often get up early on a Sunday morning and get downtown to see the city greet the dawn. The two photos below show Austin at sunrise from two different vantage points.
During the pre-dawn twilight, the lake is often still and the sky has enough color in it so that the city lights do not overload the scene. The below image was taken on the shore of Lady Bird Lake before dawn. The Austin Central Library is lit up bright blue across the water.
There is a pedestrian bridge across Lady Bird Lake that is a fantastic place to take in a sunrise if you don't mind getting up early. There are few people there at dawn; mostly a few joggers and a photographer or two.
There is a hill in the park across from downtown with a compass rose on top. I often see people up here taking wedding photos. Below is a photo from Doug Sahm Hill at sunrise with the compass in the foreground and downtown in the background. This was shot with a 14mm lens at sunrise.
I have tried to capture sunset over downtown on multiple occasions. It is difficult to find a good vantage point on the east side of downtown from which to shoot. Below are some shots that I have taken from a parking garage overlooking downtown from the North East. I go to this location for some sunset photos and to get long exposures of the car lights on Interstate 35 in the evening.
Below are some photos that I have shot around the state capitol building.
The Austin Central Library is lit up with nice colors at night and is fun to photograph. Below are some of my favorite photos, including some long exposures to blur the car lights on the street.

GEOS Museum loves to hold children's workshops, in the form of games to involve children in the knowledge of the world.
We do this at various venues. On the sixth of March we held a master class "Living stones" for children with special educational needs at the school № 5 of Krasnoyarsk. The children were actively involved in activities with a large ethusiasm and vnimatelnost listened to the story of how pebbles are formed, where to find it.

Hello there, Nice publish. There is a trouble with your internet site with internet explorer, may perhaps analyze this particular? Firefox even now would be the market place fundamental as well as a great element of men and women will leave out there great writing for that reason challenge.
what you've got right here, really like what you're saying and the way in which in which you are saying it.
An answer from an expert! Thanks for cotgbirunint.
having a look forward in your subsequent put up, I'll attempt to get the grasp of it!
entirely, but this paragraph presents nice understanding even.


Jesus has just alienated many of His disciples by telling them that they must "eat (His) body" and "drink (His) blood." This directive must have been even more startling to its original audience than to us. They did not hear it through the filter of some 1900 of systematizing theology contrived to intellectualize and cushion us against the blow of His outrageous command. They it head on and felt the full force of it and they were repulsed.
Here, Jesus, who was habitually pushing the margin of reason into the realms of faith, crossed the line. Here, He ventured too deeply into the uncharted territory of the kingdom of God, articulated too clearly the good, yet disturbing news of that kingdom, and called for an obedience too radically opposite the reasonable sensibilities of many disciples at that time. He called them to follow too far outside their well-defined comfort lines...and they ran away in disgust or stood paralyzed in terror as Jesus walked on - walked on into the blinding light of the liberating truth He had just spoken.
"Where else can we go? You have the words of life!"
Peter may very well have been as perplexed over the point of Jesus' teaching as those who abandoned Him, but he was not confused about the person Jesus. Peter might have misunderstood His methods and mission, but he was certain that Jesus was Messiah. He may have been in the dark about where he was going, but he knew that in Jesus there was light. He may have been scared nearly to death by the demands of discipleship, but he knew that in Jesus there was life. Just before this confession of his dependency on and the sufficiency of Jesus, he had sunk in the storm of intimidating waves and been rescued by the hand of a Master who knew his weakness and the shallowness of his faith (Matthew 14:22- 31).
There is much that we are intimidated by in our walk: doctrines that run counter to our cultures and egos, tasks that seem nearly insurmountable, the weakness of our wills and the seeming severity of God's. We can get lost in the endless debates over the mechanics of Christianity and sink in the despondency of our powerlessness to grasp the mystery of grace, but in the midst of that, we must do what the writer to the Hebrews advised and what Peter did, "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith." It is He who calls us and He who enables. His body is our bread; His blood our drink. He has the words of life.


Boys in da Mt. Hood?
I'm taking a class this semester called Mountaineering. It's probably the most intimidating thing I've done in a long while. We are supposed to climb Mt. Hood at the end of the semester. If you're not familiar with Hood, it's the 2nd most climbed mountain in the word and 2 people die on average per year.
I didn't really know what mountaineering was until I joined this class. Honestly, I thought it would just be a mixture of backpacking and wilderness survival at a beginners pace. It's proving to be a lot more than that.
I stumbled onto an expensive sport. It's like snowboarding but without the board. The teacher wants us all to have all our own equipment, the most important of which are "mountaineering boots." Apparently, those exist. I'm not sure if he's looked at boot prices lately, but I haven't found anything in my size below $250 (and more so in the $300 range).
He says to be thrifty and look for deals, BUT also to make sure it's a "partially insulated, 3 season, crampon compatible, ¾' shank, mountaineering boot." He also said that we don't HAVE to buy any boots but that if one of us turns around on the mountain that the whole team has to turn around. In another words, don't screw this up for the rest of us.
I'm a huge fan of challenge. One time, I used only chopsticks for two months.
I'd love to continue but I'm not sure if I will be able to do it. My classes are a little harder this semester and Mountaineering was supposed to be my "easy" class. I've found that so far, it's the class I worry most about.
In essence, I love the fact that I have been this intimidated. I haven't felt scared enough to actually quit something in a while. I really did need a good push to get back in shape so I feel like I may be on the right path here.
At the same time, I'm just not sure if I can honestly afford it. Plus, my life is hectic enough without a giant mountain to worry about. I can barely fit in enough time for the wife, the church, the job, the music, and the school (not to mention a blog).
Does anybody have any advice? Should I just do it and get it over with? Should I quit now before I end up on CNN as a rescued climber? Should I not drink a 4-shot Americano before bed? What do you guys think?


Jake did not want to get arrested! He turned to run.
Jake had gotten away before, because he pushed officer Todd then ran away when he tried to arrest him months ago. Todd wouldn't let him get away with that again!
Jake chuckled as he recalled how sparks had flown out of the handcuffs the first time Officer Todd had tried to arrest him. Officer Todd had dropped them, and that's what helped him escape. He's been on the run – wondering how long he could evade capture, ever since.
Officer Todd read Jake his rights, and Jake said nothing. He stood when Todd yanked him up, but didn't move. Jake was watching as another man approached, he assumed it was Todd's partner.
Jake stumbled forward as Officer Todd pushed him, but he refused to walk.
The stranger stood in front of Jake, so he couldn't go anywhere easily, even if he wanted to.
The stranger took two steps back, but maintained eye contact with Officer Todd.
Jake looked as surprised as Officer Todd.
In the patrol car, Officer Todd told Jake that he'd received a report from someone claiming that a local magician had real magical electrical powers.
Jake stopped speaking. He knew he didn't have to.
At the Station, Todd brought Jake right to a small room, and demanded he sit.
"He'll be interrogation room B," is all Todd said to the man that had spoken to them at the park.
For a moment, Jake looked confused. But he had in fact cut his finger his first night on the run, when he had cut up all of his credit cards, and destroyed his cell phone. He had found some old clothes in an unlocked garage and had hid in there for a few hours. Officer Todd allowed the stranger to speak with Todd, though he refused to leave them alone.

New television studio opens in Glasgow's Kelvin Hall
Kelvin Hall in Glasgow given boost with exciting new opening
By Herald Scotland Online
Kelvin Hall in Glasgow (Image: Newsquest)
A new state-of-the-art television studio has opened in Glasgow's Kelvin Hall in what has been hailed as a "new and exciting chapter" for the iconic building.
The BBC Studioworks facility, which launched today, will meet the growing demand for production in Scotland as well as supporting the growth and development of Scotland's creative workforce.
Taking up 10,500 square feet of Kelvin Hall, the purpose-built studio has been created with funding from the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council.
The chief executive of BBC Studioworks, Andrew Moultrie, said the studio was a "new and exciting chapter" for the company which is a subsidiary of the BBC.

"This is also a new chapter for this historic and much-loved building," he added.
"Adding to its rich and varied history, Kelvin Hall now boasts a purpose-built studio facility which is futureproofed with cutting edge and industry leading technology."
"We are proud to continue Kelvin Hall's amazing legacy, which has spanned many generations, complementing the creative sector here in Glasgow and helping Scotland's creative communities thrive."
STV Studios will be the first client to record in and utilise the new studio, with the second series of BBC1's quiz show Bridge Of Lies.
The demand for local production talent will grow significantly and BBC Studioworks, along with their partners Screen Scotland, are investing in the development of a creative workforce through a multi-camera TV conversion programme, to assist those with some experience in the sector to kickstart a career in studio entertainment production.
Culture Secretary Angus Robertson has welcomed the studio's launch.
He said:"BBC Studioworks is a welcome addition to Scotland's existing range of studio space and reflects the vibrant expansion of the screen sector with its growing demand from local and international film and television production companies.
"This new state-of-the-art facility will create significant opportunities for programme makers and freelancers as well as further develop a sustainable industry by increasing our skills and talent base through a range of training programmes."
Councillor Susan Aitken, leader of Glasgow City Council, said: "The Kelvin Hall has always played an important role in the cultural life of Glasgow and Scotland and I am sure that the studio hub, the latest addition to what the building offers, will go from strength to strength."

We help fund Gateway Church's 'Gateway to Growth'
Our Community Fund launched back in 2014 and since then has helped over 54 good causes and donated around £20,000.
The fund takes requests from members and the general public for donations to local charities and community groups.
Gateway Church, situated in Barnsley made a request for a donation of £362 to fund one session of their upcoming 'Gateway to Growth' summer project, which was approved by our Committee.
Last week, Dawn and Laura visited Gateway Church to deliver the cheque and see how our donation would help.
Laura presenting the Community Fund donation to Neil
Neil Morris, who organises the community events and activities, said:
"We run projects and activities at our newly refurbished centre, to bring a sense of community to the local area. Our initiatives have one common aim, to challenge negative behaviour in a positive way."
The community centre reopened at Easter and since then has run a variety of projects, including: 'Shoestrings' – a three-week course involving how to manage and survive on a low income, debt management and social activities including movie nights.
Neil continued:
"We want to help upskill and engage people, whilst having an underlying ethos of 'family'."
Upcoming initiative, 'Gateway to Growth' is a creative and 'hands-on' series of workshops, consisting of crafts, cookery and gardening. Participants will get the opportunity to create a mini flower tub, as well as creating their very own tree made from buttons and learning to cook healthy meals on a 'shoestring' budget.
Neil concluded:
"Thank you so much for your support and the cheque for £362 towards our Gateway to Growth initiative, which couldn't run without our fantastic volunteers whose time and contribution is priceless."

International Women's Day in South Korea – Slow but Steady Progress
Author: Jenna Gibson
Category: South Korea
By Jenna Gibson
Two years ago, on Women's Day 2016, I wrote a blog titled "On International Women's Day, South Korea Needs to Do More," which focused on new (at that time) numbers showing South Korea was the lowest in the OECD when it comes to women's issues such as the labor-force participation rate, gender wage gap, and the number of women in leadership roles in government and businesses.
At the time, I called on South Korea's leadership to do more, to take concrete steps to improve the lives of women in their country. Now, two years later, has South Korea made any progress on closing the gender gap and elevating the role of women in society?
Unfortunately, most of the data says no. In the 2017 version of the Economist's Glass Ceiling Index, South Korea is still last in the OECD. The country ranks last in such measures as gender wage gap, women in managerial positions, and women on company boards, and second-to-last in the labor force participation rate. Of course, none of these issues are easy to solve, and it's unrealistic to expect them to have changed drastically in just a few years. However, this type of ranking can continue to keep the issue in front of South Korea's leadership, and can keep the pressure on those in power to step up and push for policy changes.
But while the overall data may not show much improvement, there is significant societal movement toward positive change. After the tragic murder of a young woman in Gangnam in 2016, in which the perpetrator attacked the 23-year-old at random because he had felt "ignored and belittled" by women, there was a flood of attention on the issue of domestic violence and violence against women in Korea. Now, with the Me Too movement continuing to gain steam in Korea, a major politician, Governor Ahn Hee-jung, just announced his resignation amid accusations of sexual assault.
In addition to these societal pushes, there have been some policy changes that should help improve the gender inequality index in the long term, if properly implemented. For example, last summer the Korean government announced they are instituting a blind hiring process for public sector jobs, meaning hiring managers can no longer ask for applicants' photos, family background, and other personal information not related to the job. While this move was advertised more as a way to combat the use of family ties in the hiring process, it will also help combat hiring practices that disproportionately affect women, such as questions about appearance and marital status.
Another policy change that could help improve the lives of women in the Korean workforce is the push to eliminate the use of irregular workers. The Seoul city government announced last summer that it would convert 24,000 contract workers to full-time status, and President Moon has supported doing the same for other public sector entities. According to KEI research from labor market expert Dr. Vladimir Hlasny, Korea's reliance on short-term and irregular jobs is one of the factors keeping women's labor force participation low. "Women who get married or return from maternity leave are relegated to non-regular jobs, rather than being put on an alternative schedule or being retrained," he wrote in his paper for KEI. "Workers from disadvantaged backgrounds, childbearing-age women, the disabled, and the elderly are largely excluded from participating in the primary labor market, and have consequently lagged behind in their earnings, non-pay benefits and various opportunities for advancement. This in turn reduces their incentives for skill acquisition in the first place."
These policy changes have thus far only affected the public sector, with private companies still reluctant to implement policies like blind hiring that could bring women into the Korean workforce. But while it's too soon to tell if there will be a deeper, systematic change in Korea in the coming years, it is encouraging to see greater focus on issues that women face every day. And it's clear that these issues are intrinsically linked to each other – by making progress on labor force participation, for example, it increases the pool of talented women who can make their way up to managerial positions, which will in turn allow them to push for policies that can improve the lives of women workers. This is a long-term goal, of course, but small changes in government policy now can get the ball rolling toward a more equitable future for Korea's women.

Giant's Bread by Mary Westmacott (Agatha Christie)
Posted on January 4, 2022 by Cleo
Giant's Bread: "It was New Year's Eve."
Main Character: Vernon Deyre
Published: April 1930 (14th published book)
Setting: various: Abbots Puisannts, London, Germany, Holland, Moscow, New York, etc.
My chronological Agatha Christie read continues with Giant's Bread, her first novel published under the pseudonym, Mary Westmacott. There is no detective work in this story, as Christie/Westmacott treats her readers to a very modern novel. In any case, it must have been a much needed break from the detective novels Christie was expected to write.
Covering a vast number of characters and spanning a few decades of years, this first contemporary novel written under a pseudonym, proves Christie wanted this genre of her writing judged on its own merits instead of being buoyed up by her previous successes.
Siblings (1913) Carl Fröschl ~ source Wikimedia Commons
Vernon Drywer grows up in Abbots Puissants, an estate in the countryside in England, with a withdrawn father and overdramatic mother who has a tendency to slather him with affection without any sincerity behind it. Jo, his cousin, is part of his childhood, as is Sebastian Levinne, a neighbourhood Jewish boy and Nell Vereker, a thin child who visits occasionally. Another more obscure character is called, "The Beast" which is the terrible feeling that is inspired in Vernon whenever he hears music.
Vernon, Jo and Sebastian remain friends into adulthood when their lives take them to town. Jo has become frantically involved in her "causes", Sebastian is busy making money in his ventures, and Vernon is slowly discovering that music is part of his soul in spite of the effort he has made to avoid it.
The story progresses as Vernon courts Nell in spite of his attraction to Jane, a sultry singer whose personality is somewhat of an enigma, Sebastian is in love with Jo in spite of her adversion to his business success and therefore him, and Nell cannot decide whether she wants to marry Vernon who, in spite of his country estate, is poor, or George Chetwynd, a wealthy American who though much older, vies for her hand in marriage.
Hospital Staff (First World War) ~ source Wikimedia Commons
A tapestry of bad choices, unfortunate circumstances, and finally the First World War colour the lives of each character and they navigate them according to their characters and life experiences. Thus follows a number of dramatic occurrences, and improbable situations that drive the story at a breakneck pace. I can't reveal more without exposing some of the plot cliffhangers that Christie delivers with surprising regularity. Music was the background theme which was woven throughout the narrative and ended with an epistolary burst at the end of the novel, dumping a musical philosophy upon the reader with an unsettling speed. I can't say the ending of the novel was satisfying but given the whole of the novel, it was perhaps expected.
Music (1904) Thomas Eakins ~ source Wikimedia Commons
I was nearly beside myself with happiness and relief when I finished this book and could move on to her next mystery. While I appreciate Christie's attempt at a modern novel, it's exactly the type of book that I dislike reading, full of angst and bad choices and characters who one wants to try not to emulate, as they never seem to grow or change. Not to mention the drama; there was entirely too much drama for me. One critic in a 1930 review noted, "Miss Westmacott shows narrative talent; but would presumably be more original if she strained less after originality." I'm not sure if that would be my conclusion as to the unsettledness of the novel. Reading it felt more like a racing around of occurrences, which perhaps stems from the form Christie was used to when writing detective novels. Overall, I desire more subtlety: instead of a rollercoaster ride where very little is fully examined, I prefer a leisurely cruise down the river to be able to view and enjoy the natural setting.
Leisure (1910) William Worchester Churchill
~ source Wikipedia Commons
To give Christie her fair due, there is art and creativity in this novel. Her prologue is sufficiently mysterious and striking to draw you into the story. She portrays different character types and gives the reader a look-in at some of the aspects of WWI through Nell's job at the hospital. She also examines love and marriage and makes an interesting commentary by juxtaposing a marriage between people for passionate love and a marriage between people who have an affection for each other but also (and perhaps more importantly) like minds who are able to understand and accept one another. Much of her philosophy of music passed by me, perhaps because of the unevenness of its place in the story, but at least it was there and an attempt to explain it made; the Beast is readily understood. I also liked the comparison of people with simpler lives with those who possess wealth and have all their wishes granted, the former being lighter and happier and more contented and the latter facing more challenges and trials and angst. I must say, I did very much enjoy the beginning of the novel describing Vernon's childhood, but as it progressed it was readily apparent that it just wasn't the book for me.
I must admit I feel that this review is somewhat disjointed but it follows the flow of Christie's writing and therefore I feel satisfied. One thing I'm still puzzling over thought is the title. Does anyone know the significance of "Giant's Bread"?
Now on to the next novel, Christie's first one starring the beloved old lady, Miss Marple, The Murder at the Vicarage. I'm soooo looking forward to it!

a slight thrill of anticipation when i see one of your posts in my mailbox! and this one is thoroughly readable and informative as usual… i've several Westmacotts on the shelf but have never indulged; possibly i'm saving them for something: i can't say a rainy day because there's lots of that on top of all the snow. here's hoping it will all go away and bicycling will once more be in the cards… how much do you have?
Cleo on January 4, 2022 at 15:33 said:
Mudpuddle! So good to hear from you! And thank you for the nice comment. I wish I was posting more but just getting some time for reading is a challenge. However, I'm starting the year off focussed so that's a positive.
Well, I must say that I wouldn't recommend this book unless you have nothing better to read. It's rather depressing with all the love triangles and poor judgement. Even the successful characters don't appear to be very happy. It's interesting to investigate Christie's writing an another genre but that's about it.
Can I admit that I've been enjoying the snow. We've probably had a foot overall with a little melting before Sunday. I didn't like the cold temperature snow (between -8 and -11ºC) because it was so frosty and didn't hold together well but between -4 and about -2ºC it's been perfect. We were out skating on a huge frozen pond for at least 4 days in a row and it's been so much fun! Sadly the warmer temperatures arrived on Sunday and most has melted although it's still been snowing on and off a little bit. So yes, I will enjoy the biking weather but I'm loving the snow too.

I've never read any of the Mary Westmacott novels–sounds like maybe that was wise! The Murder at the Vicarage on the other hand…I can see why you'd be looking forward to that. (And I assume you've already read it at least once.)
Your life won't be less rich if you never read a Westmacott novel, I would guess. 😉 Although perhaps I shouldn't be too hard on her until I try another.
I read The Murder at the Vicarage eons ago but I've seen the A&E production of it numerous times as it's one of my favourites. I can't wait to read the book!!
Jean @ Howling Frog on January 4, 2022 at 18:21 said:
I've been kind of meaning to re-read this one because I remember it as so weird. I've always figured that the title is probably based on the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk — "I'll grind his bones to make my bread." So giant's bread requires destroying human lives.
I just kept thinking to myself, "thank goodness I'm not one of these characters". It's certainly not an uplifting book. Thanks for the explanation and it makes sense but I don't think Christie did a very good job of tying it to the story, unless I've completely missed something.

Hi Cleo! Good to see a post from you 😊
I read her 'A Daughter's a Daughter' about a year ago – 'A bittersweet tale of possessiveness and jealousy,' which was maybe a smidgen better than the one you read. I'd prefer her detective novels any day!
Thanks, Carol! I must say I'm not looking forward to the next Westmacott novel and can only hope that it's better than this one. I'm glad that I'm back to the good old mystery novels!
Of the Westmacott novels, I really like Absent in the Spring. That one stuck with me.
Thanks for giving me a Westmacott to look forward to!

Fascinating, thanks for your review. I still wonder if I'm going to read more by her this year, after finishing the while HPoirot canon. You are tempting me, lol
I think the Miss Marple reads are wonderful and her Tommy and Tuppence novels are some of my favourites. But, from what I've read/heard, you could definitely miss the Westmacott novels and move on to something much more enjoyable. Hope 2022 is a fabulous year for you, Emma!

This novel seems like an attempted hybrid between Edwardian novels and stream of consciousness kind of writing. I totally understand your relief at getting done with it and characters we do NOT want to be! Let's stick to Christie mystery!
p.s. I echo Mudpuddle about the thrill of seeing your post!
It's like an extremely depressing and serious Stella Gibbons novel. Gibbons' novels work because she often pokes fun at her characters. Christie does NOT, at least, not in this one.
I'm sorry! I've been off skating on ponds and having a peaceful holiday. I do hope to post more, but first …… READ! 📚

I associate Christie so much with mysteries that I'm not sure how I'd feel about one of her non-mysteries. Although, I do admit to a certain curiosity. I left these off my Christie reading list, at any rate. 🙂
(Oops, hit the wrong button before finishing!) I find that I don't have an aversion to reading these sorts of stories (people making bad choices), necessarily, if they're well done, but have to be in the right mood for it.
I'd be interested to hear what you think if you ever do read one. There was nothing much good going on in this one and nothing to learn. It wasn't my cup of tea.

Anti-probing software released by hacking group L0pht Industries on Friday has been attacked as inadequate by contributors to the well-respected security forum BugTraq at SecurityFocus.comOne security expert from the Electronic Computer Science Department at Southampton University criticises the program "Anti-Sniff" for only detecting behaviour associated with sniffing, rather than sniffing itself.
One security expert from the Electronic Computer Science Department at Southampton University criticises the program "Anti-Sniff" for only detecting behaviour associated with sniffing, rather than sniffing itself. He says "If Anti-Sniff becomes popular, I'd estimate only a few months grace before Black Hats [hackers/crackers] have made a reduced-functionality sniffer which slips under Anti-Sniff's radar. I don't have any use for such a tool, but if I did I doubt I'd need more than a week or two to get it right."
Another source who requested anonymity agrees that the program has various shortcomings, but claims it is adequate. "Anti-sniff will detect most cases of sniffing attacks," the source says. "And it is the first integrated graphical tool to do it so well, and as such it is really a 'must have' tool."
Anti-Sniff was released in Beta format on Friday but L0pht says a full version of the product will soon be available at an undecided price for Windows and free for Unix.
The current trend for hackers to produce their own security software was pioneered by the virus writing group Cult of the Dead Cow which released its own "remote system administrative tool" Back Orifice 2000, earlier this month.

Maybe you forgot your iPhone ($1,000 at Amazon) passcode. Maybe a 3-year-old got ahold of your phone and locked you out for a gazillion minutes.
Maybe you forgot your iPhone ($1,000 at Amazon) passcode. Maybe a 3-year-old got ahold of your phone and locked you out for a gazillion minutes. Either way, your only hope of using your iPhone again soon might be to restore it.
Hopefully you've kept up with your iPhone backup reminders. If that's slipped (no judgment), you're probably getting "iPhone Not Backed Up" and "iCloud Storage full" messages on a daily basis.
Use this as your guide for restoring your iPhone back to the original settings.
If you're already locked out of your phone, this step may be too late — skip to the recovery mode section. If you're taking precautions, however, make sure you back up to iCloud or iTunes ASAP. If you don't back up, you could lose all your photos and videos.
2. Force restart your iPhone.
For the iPhone 8 ($600 at Verizon Wireless) and newer: Press and release the volume up button and then press the volume down button. Next, press and hold the side button. You should see the recovery mode screen.
For the iPhone 7 ($290 at Amazon): Press and hold the side button and volume down button at the same time. The recovery mode screen will appear.
For older iPhones: Press and hold the home and top buttons at the same time until you see the recovery mode screen.
3. A screen will appear that says "There is a problem with the iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored." Select Restore.
iTunes will begin restoring your device, which can take a few minutes. If it goes over 15 minutes, your phone will exit the screen and you'll need to start over. Do not unplug your device from your computer until your phone has completely been restored.
Once it's finished, you can set up your device and begin using it again.
If you backed up your iPhone, you can restore all of your information with your Apple ID — this is your username and password you use to download from the App Store. Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi before you begin.
1. Once you reach the Apps & Data screen, tap Restore from iCloud Backup.
2. Sign in to iCloud using your Apple ID.
3. Choose your most recent backup.
5. A progress bar will appear and let you know how much time it will take to restore. This could take a while, depending on how much data you're recovering.
6. Finish the setup for your iPhone and begin using it again.
What if I'm still locked out?
If you've restored your phone to factory settings and your phone still won't let you in, there's not much more you can do on your own.
We suggest making an appointment at your nearest Apple Store where a specialist can try to help you get back into your phone. If there isn't an Apple Store near you, the next best move would be to contact Apple Support. We hope you can fix your issues at home, though. Good luck!

I struggled to write my first article for this blog, and I think it was because I didn't take the time to introduce myself and what I want to accomplish before I dived into politics and RJ. While the personal is political, I thought it was important to flesh out who I am and provide context for what I'll be writing for the ChoiceWords Blog.
I'm currently in my second year of studying social work at the University of North Texas. I chose social work because I like to consider myself a big picture thinker. I have empathy and compassion for individual situations, but I'm also naturally drawn to looking at the systems that are causing the problem. In theory, this is exactly what social workers are supposed to do, so I chose to study it in college. For a while I regretted my decision and even considered changing my major, but a few things happened that made me change my mind. For one, I met some amazing social workers that were doing big things in activism and policy, and they encouraged me to continue in the profession. Second, I got involved with the Texas social work association on a political committee, and the opportunity has allowed me to get involved with writing, organizing, and even giving a speech! Finally, I had the chance to read through the social work policy planks for a class assignment. Almost every policy that the national association endorses lines up with my personal ideologies, and it made me more confident that social work is right for me.
One of those policies is reproductive justice, and I'm grateful that whoever wrote it has a clear understanding of the framework and articulated it clearly. I first learned about reproductive justice when I met my good friend Leslie Lopez in college. She gave me information about the framework, as well as providing me with great books, articles, and other first-hand sources. I got involved with the organization that she created, Reproductive Rights Organization of Student Educators, and now I can't stop talking about the connection between reproductive justice and every social justice movement that I see. Reproductive justice gives me the means to articulate issues I didn't have the words for before, and the creators and activists who use this framework look like me and do work that benefits families and communities like mine. I work to make sure that all of my advocacy and activism is done within a reproductive justice framework.
As a Black woman in Texas, it seems that there is always more to learn and more work to be done in the realm of reproductive rights and justice. It was last year that I was taught what a crisis pregnancy center was, what the Hyde Amendment was, and exactly how an abortion procedure is done. Most of this education has come from Twitter, conferences, and discussions with the people around me. Discussions about a lack of comprehensive sexual education and an information desert when it comes to reproductive health are usual for me, but I'm realizing now that I can be part of a movement that changes all of that.
I hope that through the ChoiceWords Blog and my chapter work with URGE, I can provide a new perspective on social justice topics like reproductive justice, economic inequality, Black feminism, and more. While doing this work on my college campus and in my community is important, I also want to make the best of the platform that is given to me here by URGE. I want to use this blog and my written words to make people reconsider their perspectives, and draw connections between our everyday experiences and the systemic solutions of reproductive justice in all realms. I believe that when only when working class people are educated and mobilized can we make radical and lasting change to our society and political systems.
When I am not facing writer's block trying to write articles for this blog, you can find me tweeting about my experience as an activist in training and college student here. I'm very involved in politics, and I'm working hard to make reproductive justice more well known and endorsed in Texas politics, both state and local.
