Man of a Thousand Faces is a 1957 dark drama film detailing the life of silent movie actor Lon Chaney, in which the title role is played by James Cagney.

Directed by Joseph Pevney, the film's cast included James Cagney, Dorothy Malone, Jane Greer and Jim Backus. Chaney's grown son (who later became a famous actor known as "Lon Chaney Jr.") was played by Roger Smith, later the star of television's 77 Sunset Strip, and studio chief Irving Thalberg was portrayed by Robert Evans, who soon left acting and eventually became head of Paramount Pictures. The film's four writers were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay at the 30th Academy Awards.

Plot
In the early 1900s, actor Lon Chaney (James Cagney) is working in vaudeville with his wife Cleva (Dorothy Malone). Chaney quits the show and Cleva announces that she is pregnant. Lon is happy and tells Cleva that he has been hired by the famous comedy team Kolb and Dill for an upcoming show.

Cleva pressures Lon to visit his parents (whom she has never met) in his hometown of Colorado Springs. Lon is reluctant because his parents are both deaf mutes, a fact Lon has never shared. Cleva reacts with disgust and does not want to give birth, fearing that the child will also be a deaf mute and she doesn't want to be the mother of a "dumb thing."

Months later, the baby Creighton is born and it soon becomes clear that the child is not deaf. Despite this good news, Lon's and Cleva's marriage continues to erode over the next few years. Soon she takes a job as a singer in a nightclub, dropping young Creighton off to his father backstage at his theater before being driven to work.

Lon has developed a close but platonic friendship with chorus girl Hazel Hastings (Jane Greer). Hazel is happy to help look after young Creighton. After the child gets sick at the theater, Lon complains to Cleva's employer, who reluctantly agrees to terminate her.

When confronting his wife in her dressing room, Lon discovers that Cleva has been dating Bill, a wealthy patron. Cleva learns she has been fired at her husband's connivance and reacts by screaming, which causes Bill to enter the dressing room. Bill comforts her and then asks Lon who he is. Lon responds by telling Bill that he is from the collection agency, and that he is here to collect his wife. Bill looks at Cleva with contempt and walks away.

Lon returns to the theater, where he discovers Hazel being accosted in the corridor by a tall, thin man. Lon punches the man in the face and tells him to get up. Hazel explains that he can't and the man lifts up his trousers to the knee, revealing two wooden legs. He is Carl Hastings, her former husband, once rational, but now consumed with bitterness as the result of his accident.

Cleva enters the dressing room to find Lon with his hands on Hazel's shoulders. Cleva screams that she will not go back to being a "nurse maid" so that he can play around with a chorus girl. Cleva leaves home and vanishes. Days later, Lon is performing a dance routine in clown makeup at a matinee when a totally deranged Cleva walks on stage and swallows a bottle of acid in front of an audience, permanently damaging her vocal cords.

Cleva is hospitalized, but runs away once more. The scandal essentially destroys Lon's career in vaudeville. The state takes custody of young Creighton as they deem his home situation to be unsuitable, causing Lon to react angrily. On the advice of press agent Clarence Locan (Jim Backus), Lon moves to Hollywood to try his luck in the new field of motion pictures.

After starting as an extra, Lon's tireless work ethic, and his expertise at makeup, make him an in-demand bit player and later a feature player. Lon is cast in the silent film The Miracle Man (1919) as a man thought to be physically disabled who is seemingly cured by a faith healer. His success starts him on the road to stardom in such films as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925).

As his career soars, Lon faces personal challenges. Although he marries Hazel and regains custody of Creighton, ex-wife Cleva reappears, seeking to spend time with Creighton (who has been told by Lon that she is dead). Hazel reveals the truth to Creighton, who leaves to stay with his mother, angry with Lon about the deception.

Lon becomes ill on the set of the sound version of The Unholy Three (1930) and is diagnosed with bronchial cancer. Hazel and Locan decide to (initially) hide the truth of his condition from him. Creighton (Roger Smith) reconciles with his father and they take a fishing trip at Lon's mountain cabin. After returning from his fishing trip, Lon collapses and is returned home to live out his final days.

On his deathbed, the dying Chaney (now unable to speak due to the cancer) reverts to the sign language of his childhood to express his love for his friends and family and to ask for forgiveness for unspecified transgressions. Lon signals Creighton to bring him his makeup box. He removes a stick of greasepaint and adds a "Jr." to his own name on the box, signaling to his son his desire for him to carry on his life's work. Creighton leaves with box in hand, ready to start his film career as Lon Chaney Jr.

Cast

Plot accuracy
Creative license was used in writing the screenplay, and many incidents were sanitized and fictionalized, including the following:

Lon Chaney had stated in interviews at the time that he did not want Creighton (later Lon Chaney Jr.) to be an actor as is clearly depicted in the film's conclusion. At the time of his father's death, Creighton Chaney had been married for two years, attended business college, and worked at an LA water heater company. When the company failed and financial problems became overwhelming for Creighton, he started to accept film work and was billed under his birth name. It was only in the mid-1930s that he allowed himself (at the insistence of film producers) to be billed as "Lon Chaney, Jr.", an action he often said he felt ashamed of. In later life, Chaney Jr. stated that he was proud of the name "Lon Chaney", but not of the name "Lon Chaney Jr."

In the film, Lon is depicted as being at home, and surrounded by family and friends when he passes on. In reality, Chaney died in his hospital room after a hemorrhage.

The depiction of Chaney's makeup for The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame differs significantly from Chaney's original makeup for these films. Cagney's face appears partially immobile behind an elaborate full latex mask and other makeup. Lon Chaney actually took great pride in his ability to distort his appearance using only a minimum of makeup, which still allowed for a great deal of facial expression. For instance, Chaney utilized thin wires in his nose and around his eyes, false teeth and dark paint around his eyes and nostrils, plus other methods.

Bud Westmore's recreations of the original makeups are clearly partial masks, reminiscent of Halloween, which somewhat resemble the originals. Cagney's face in some scenes is fairly immobile, such as the scene where he speaks to Creighton while wearing his Hunchback of Notre Dame makeup, and when he speaks to the actress at the conclusion of the unmasking scene in The Phantom of the Opera.

Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an aggregate score of 89% based on 8 positive and 1 negative critic reviews.

Q: Discrepancy in C++ between over-aligned struct and enum within container In C++, on at least GCC and Clang, an over-aligned type embedded within a container (std::vector) seems to be treated differently depending on whether the type is an over-aligned struct or an over-aligned enum. For the struct version, the element is aligned for each, while for the enum one, only the overall buffer is with the specified alignment.
Is this behavior specified by the standard? And if so, which part does mention it? Or implementation-defined and should not be relied upon?
Consider the following:
#include<cstdint>
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>

struct alignas(16) byte_struct {std::uint8_t value;};
enum alignas(16) byte_enum : std::uint8_t {};

int main() {
    {//with struct
        std::vector<byte_struct> bytes;
        bytes.push_back(byte_struct{1});
        bytes.push_back(byte_struct{2});
        bytes.push_back(byte_struct{3});
        for(auto it = bytes.begin(); it!= bytes.end(); ++it) {
                std::cout<<&*it<<std::endl;
        }
    }
    {//with enum
        std::vector<byte_enum> bytes;
        bytes.push_back(byte_enum{1});
        bytes.push_back(byte_enum{2});
        bytes.push_back(byte_enum{3});
        for(auto it = bytes.begin(); it!= bytes.end(); ++it) {
                std::cout<<&*it<<std::endl;
        }
    }
}

The version with the over-aligned struct prints the following

0x10a9ec0
  0x10a9ed0
  0x10a9ee0

The version with the over-aligned enum prints the following

0x10a9e70
  0x10a9e71
  0x10a9e72

Within the vector storage, each byte_struct is aligned to 16 bytes boundary, as opposed to the byte_enum for which the alignment applies only to the buffer as a whole but not for each individual element.
This behavior is identical on GCC 9.1 and Clang 8.0, while MSVC 19.20 encounters an internal compiler error.
The link for compiler explorer is: https://godbolt.org/z/GUg2ft

A: This is C++ core working group issue 2354, which was recently resolved by removing the permission to apply alignas to an enum type. (At the time of writing, the latest public version of the issues list doesn't contain the resolution, but you can find the resolution in P1359R0, which was adopted into the C++ working draft in February 2019 and accepted as a Defect Report (which means the fix is intended to apply retroactively).
The problem is that we had two conflicting requirements:

*

*an enum-base (including the implicit enum-base of int in a scoped enumeration) specifies the underlying type of the enumeration, and the enumeration is required to have the same object representation (including sizeof and representation of all values) as its underlying type, and

*an alignment-specifier specifies the alignment of the type, which in turn must also constrain sizeof(E) (which is by definition the distance between two objects of type E in an array) to a multiple of said alignment.
You can't have both, so we resolved the conflict by removing the ability to specify an alignment on an enumeration type.
The best advice is to not apply an alignment specifier to an enumeration type; implementations will stop accepting that at some point. (Applying the alignment to a use of the type in the declaration of a variable or non-static data member is OK, though.)

A: Yes, this seems to be a bug.
According to the standard - 9.11.2:

1 An alignment-specifier may be applied to a variable or to a class data member, but it shall not be applied to a
  bit-field, a function parameter, or an exception-declaration (13.3). An alignment-specifier may also be applied
  to the declaration of a class (in an elaborated-type-specifier (9.1.7.3) or class-head (Clause 10), respectively)
  and to the declaration of an enumeration (in an opaque-enum-declaration or enum-head, respectively (9.6)).
  An alignment-specifier with an ellipsis is a pack expansion (12.6.3).

enums should be aligned as well.
UBSan also complains:
/usr/include/c++/8.3.0/ext/new_allocator.h:136: runtime error: store to misaligned address 0x602000000031 for type 'byte_enum', which requires 16 byte alignment

That might be a libstdc++ std::vector bug though because using an array runs fine with UBSan:
    {//with enum
        std::array<byte_enum, 3> bytes = { byte_enum{1}, byte_enum{2}, byte_enum{3} };
        for(auto it = bytes.begin(); it!= bytes.end(); ++it) {
                std::cout<<&*it<<std::endl;
        }
    }

A: This is not an answer, but given:
std::cout << "16 structs: " << sizeof(byte_struct[16]) << std::endl;
std::cout << "16 enums:   " << sizeof(byte_enum  [16]) << std::endl;

clang prints:
16 structs: 256
16 enums:   16

and gcc tosses an error:
error: alignment of array elements is greater than element size
  std::cout << "16 enums:   " << sizeof(byte_enum  [16]) << std::endl;
                                                      ^

Polish countess Elena falls in love to a Frensh radical party's candidate, a general, in pre world war I Paris, but another officer pines for her. Polish Princess Elena (Ingrid Bergman) believes she was born to be the guardian angel of great causes and great (undiscovered) men. It is only when men need her that she is interested in them and she abandons them when they have accomplished their goals in life. She encounters Henry de Chevincourt (Mel Ferrer) who introduces her to General Francois Rollan (Jean Marais), who has just been nominated to become Minister of War. The General is bait for some conniving politicians who wish to turn the hero into a dictator. They take advantage of a current political trial and the resulting war scare to engineer a coup d'etat which is meant to catapult the General into leadership. Rollan lets himself be taken in because he is in love with Elena who is in league with the plotters. Meanwhile, Henry, also in love with Elena, is hanging around on the sidelines.
Has its (few) moments There is one really great scene in this movie....the ocean of people at the Bastille Day Celebration and the movement of the crowd through its waves. This scene, and the overall color and details of costumes make this movie worthwhile. And of course there's Ingrid Bergman, whose beauty and poise (even when a little tipsy) is always watcheable. (She is really unique in her era.....have you ever seen or heard of her persona being vamped by any contemporary drag queens....can't be done, I'll wager). The rest of the movie tries to be madcap and michievous, but it just doesn't work. I'm amazed at reading the plot description here....so THAT'S what it was supposed to be about! Sure lost me.

Acceptance is an alternative rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1998. They consist of Jason Vena (vocals), Christian McAlhaney (guitars and vocals), Kaylan Cloyd (guitars), Ryan Zwiefelhofer (bass guitar) and Garrett Lunceford (drums). They released two EPs entitled Lost For Words (November 5, 2002) and Black Lines To Battlefields (May 20, 2003). They also released their first LP, Phantoms, on April 26, 2005. They hoped to have a new album out by August 2006 and started recording it in April 2006, according to an interview with lead singer Jason Vena on MySpace. The album was never finished, and Acceptance disbanded in 2006. The band reunited in 2016, Acceptance announced that they would release their first album In 11 years with the original lineup of Jason, Kaylan, Ryan, Christian, and Garrett.
"Different", a single of their latest album, has had some radio play and peaked at #25 in US Modern Rock Chart. The song "This Conversation Is Over" from the same album was re-recorded in Simlish for The Sims 2: University.
During the band's hiatus, Jason Vena is apparently currently working for his family's business in Mercer Island, Washington. Kaylan Cloyd has joined Ryan Van Wieringen and Bobby Darling of Gatsby's American Dream to form Search/Rescue. The band released their debut album The Compound in 2007. Nick Radovanovic, Christian McAlhaney, and Kyle Flynn started a band called Thunder Thunder with Jerrod Bettis. Their current status is unknown due to McAlhaney's commitment with Anberlin.

Conclusion Now you know what a dialect is! Instead, they are considered four separate dialects of the same language. People who use the same rules and norms when it comes to language are called a speech community. Dessert is sometimes used by upper middles, but afters and sweets very clearly put you below stairs. This is well-documented for many groups. In such a diglossic community, the prestigious standard of 'High' or H variety, which is linguistically related to but significantly different from the vernacular or 'Low' or L varieties, has no native speakers.
The same situation holds in Japan, where it is Standard Japanese, based on Tokyo dialect, that is taught in the schools and used in the media. Albanian sources often use the pejorative term 'filogrek' pro-Greek in relation to Greeks-speaking minority groups, usually in a context disputing their Greek ancestry. Some of this variation has to do with the constant contact between dialects that is a fact of life in most communities. We use the same word but pronounce it differently. Journal of Sociolinguistics 3 4 : 428-442. The Arvanitika community also suffers from discrimination because they are cast under stereotypes by the use of their native language.
What is the difference between social dialect and regional dialect?
So none of this is precise at all. We can of course extend the boundaries in our example even further, beyond North America to include England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, a number of Caribbean countries, and communities within many other countries. Posh Posh is an accent only spoken by people in the Upper class. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. If one distinct social group used 'yous' as the plural form of the pronoun then this could indicate the existence of a sociolect. Most people think they do.
There are differences in varieties spoken in different region, for instant: differences in pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Thus in one sense a language is a set of dialects. However, wherever we draw the line, three points should be clear. This is but one of the real-world applications of the knowledge and skills learned in this class. Dialect is a particular form of language that may seem strange topeople that are not from a particular area, but is native to thatregion.
But in fact, there is no objective difference between the two: Any attempt you make to impose that kind of order on reality falls apart in the face of real evidence. Mutual intelligibility is also not easy to measure, and it is often based on the impressions of speakers and hearers, how much they understand when they encounter members of the other group or how long it takes them to get accustomed to the speech of the other group. These regional languages descended from Latin, just as Standard Italian did. Slang—just as a professional dialect—is used mainly by persons who are in a sense bidialectal; i. This archaic type of speaking can lead to embarrassing situations where the speaker is simply not understood.
In much of this region, Spanish is a second language alongside indigenous mother tongues. Languages and dialects exist along a spectrum too, which is divided just as arbitrarily as the visual spectrum is. To find out what should count as a separate language on grounds of mutual intelligibility, a good resource is , an online database of all of the world's known languages, 6,912 according to their current listing. Note that there may be many intermediate levels in the family tree of languages. Investigating Language Attitudes: Social Meanings of Dialect, Ethnicity and Performance. Placing your antenna stick in a hole in a manner that it is submerged partially is another common mistake that people make. What matters is who you interact with over and over again, and how you see those relationships.
Borrows from indigenous languages of Mexico and northern Central America. A social acc … ent is determined by your socioeconomic status. The Dictionary of American Regional English, Vols. However, when spoken at a normal pace and without too much slang or jargon, all the dialects are easily understood … by native speakers as well as advanced second language speakers. Posh means smart, refined and elegant. This mistake is common to many people and what they do not realize is that the metallic paint is an electrical conductor.
A sociolect is distinct from a because rather than geographical subdivision substantiates the unique linguistic features. More-highly educated speakers and, often, those belonging to a higher tend to use more features belonging to the standard , whereas the original of the region is better preserved in the of the lower and less-educated classes. Thus used to be the English of the upper classes also called the Queen's English or Public School English of the Southern, more particularly, London area. Thus, in cities the social stratification of is especially relevant and far-reaching, whereas in rural areas, with a way of life, the traditional geographic dialectal differentiation prevails. Geographic regions affect dialects by either allowing the people living there to come in contact with other speakers of their language or by isolating them. However, these regional varieties are not descended from Standard Italian, in the same way that Standard Italian is descended from Latin. This accent of English is widely spoken in the Southeast of England.

"New Planning": Mamata Banerjee Slams Centre's Judges' Appointments Letter
"New Planning": Mamata Banerjee Slams Centre's Judges' Appointments Letter
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the 'union government was acting with a motive' as she weighed in on the issue of the union government writing to the Chief Justice of India for a government representative to be included in the Collegium that selects judges for higher courts. "We want total independence of judiciary," she said.
Alleging that the Centre has a motive behind the move, she called it "a new type of planning".
"If there is central government representation in their collegium in the Supreme Court, then states will also obviously include the state government representative or Chief Minister in the collegium, or the government representative. But ultimately, what will be the result?" she questioned.
She said Collegium recommendations go from High Courts to the Supreme Court, which then sends their picks to the government of India. "Now there will be no value for the state government recommendation and ultimately the central government will directly interfere in the judiciary; that we don't want. We want the judiciary to give justice for all," Mamata Banerjee said, criticising the move.
She likened the Supreme Court to "temples, mosques, gurdwaras, and churches".
"They are the Supreme authority to give the justice for the people. And this is the planning," she said.
Mamata Banerjee, however, pointed out existing political interference in appointment of judges.
"Whatever names have been sent by the Calcutta High Court… I know whoever is their supporter, their line is clear. That name is cleared within one month. And who is not their supporter, their list is pending for three years. I know one particular boy. His father was also a judge and he died. So, this is the situation," she added.
She said democracy was in danger, but her government has "absolute confidence" in the judiciary.
Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has written to the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, saying that the Supreme Court collegium should include government representatives. This will "infuse transparency and public accountability", the Law Minister said in a letter that vastly escalates a dispute between the government and the judiciary since last year.
The Supreme Court has firmly defended the Collegium system. Opposition parties like the Congress, Trinamool and AAP have backed the top court. The Congress on Monday accused the government of "intimidating" the judiciary in a bid to "totally capture it" and alleged that Law Minister Kiren Rijiju's suggestion to restructure the Collegium system is a "poison pill" for the judiciary.

Today we have one of those passages from the Bible that make you go . . . whaaaaa ??
All the disciples wanted to know who it was who would betray Jesus. Jesus gives them no indication. But he also seems to have given an odd redirect concerning this "other" disciple.
In fact, it seems like that's all we have left today . . . what somebody said and wrote down a long, long time ago.
Testimony is about trust. Really that's what it boils down to. Do we trust what has been given to us as truth? How do we continue to discern that truth in light of new findings.
I think that's what faith's all about! Growth, trust, doubt, re-growth, and living with in the living Word.


The campus masterplan was announced in February 2018. It will play a key role in Sheffield Hallam fulfilling its ambition to become the world's leading applied university.
The University has gone out to tender with the aim of creating a 'Hallam Alliance' to work on the project. It will bring together construction, design consultancy and facilities management services as partners, who will be involved throughout the entire project and influence each phase.
It will also prioritise the use of a local supply chain, providing a boost for businesses within in the Sheffield City Region and driving local economic growth.
Daniel Ladbury, Director of Estates, said "This is a bold new partnership approach which moves away from the single project mentality traditionally seen in the industry. It will significantly improve how we operate.
"As well as delivering outstanding new buildings and spaces to learn and work in, the Hallam Alliance will work together to create new opportunities for students, local people and business.
"We take our civic role at the heart of the region extremely seriously. Therefore ensuring we deliver maximum benefit from this flagship development is a priority. When complete it will be a major asset for Sheffield and the wider region, helping to attract new talent and investment to our area."

Whisky Insiders Interview - Bill Lark
Lark Distillery
larkdistillery.com.au
How long have you been working in the whisky industry?
I started Lark Distillery with my wife in 1992, the first in Tasmania since 1839. We had no prior experience working in the industry except that we both enjoyed a good malt.
Together we gained experience from the local brewing industry and also received a great helping hand from the Scottish industry. We spent about 6 years learning the craft before releasing our first whisky in 1998, matured in very small casks.
What has been your biggest career highlight to date?
Career highlights have been many and exciting because we were the first ones to produce a single malt whisky in the modern whisky era in Australia. I guess the most significant event has been to be when I was asked to help establish a new Distillery in Kingsbarns, Scotland and work with the Kingsbarns team.
As a result of that and un-be-known to me, my image was displayed in a 100 foot high laser light show in Edinburgh last June, to promote a paper entitled Glenfiddich to Hobart. My image was alongside that of William Grant, founder of Glenfiddich and Masataka Taktsuru, forefather of the Japanese whisky industry. The image was later shown and written up in the Scotsman Newspaper. I saw this as a fantastic recognition of the emerging Australian Whisky industry which Lyn and I can be proud to have helped establish.
Can you remember your first dram, and indeed what it was?
I do remember my first dram. It was offered to me by my father-in-law, Max Stewart, a canny old Scotsman who in some ways was responsible for Lyn and myself being encouraged to have a go at making Tasmania's first malt whisky. The whisky incidentally was a Glenfiddich and would have been in about 1973 and was probably the only single malt available in the Sydney bottle shops at the time. I still love the 15yo Solera Cask from Glenfiddich.
What does whisky mean to you?
Whisky is now our whole life. Both Lyn and myself work tirelessly in the Lark Distillery and our daughter is our General Manager. Our whisky is now rapidly gaining popularity throughout the broader whisky world and this requires me to present myself as the "global brand ambassador", a job which I am enjoying immensely.
When we first started making whisky I assumed the Scottish industry would shake their heads at us stupid colonials but wonderfully they instead, encouraged us and invited us into their exciting world. It is marvelous to visit Scotland and the USA and to be immediately welcomed as a relevant whisky maker in the global industry. Everyone in the industry is genuinely keen to assist others to ensure that all whisky is of the highest standard for consumers.
Where would you like to see yourself in five years time?
As much as I like making whisky I have to be honest and say that Lyn and I are getting a little tired of running a business and we hope that our daughter is ready to step up to the mark and steer the distillery forward as we take a slightly more background direction in global ambassadoring, of course keeping an eye on things to make sure the tradition and culture we created is continuing on.
The industry is really one big family and we enjoy being part of that and we hope to visit more of the industry, certainly within the next five years. The Australian industry and indeed the world industry is growing rapidly through small "boutique" distilleries producing handcrafted whiskies and an enjoyable result of that is that I have been asked to consult to new distilleries which is an area I would like to pursue more so.
What was your last dram?
My last dram was last night at the end of judging the First Australian National Spirit Competition. The judges relaxed together with a 20yo Glendronach, which is a wonderfully well balanced big Sherry cask whisky. It was a great moment as we were sitting back listening to some of the best local bluegrass music by Coyote Serenade in our cellar door, a Friday night treat.
Do you have a favourite whisky and food pairing combination?
Whisky and food matching is proving to be more and more popular and it is easy to match a whisky with just about any food. Some memorable matchings have been Scapa 14yo with Crispy Skin Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon, Laphroaig 18yo with Scottish Highland Angus beef and Ardbeg 10yo always goes very well with any chocolate desert.
I have just attended a sensational whisky and food matching evening at Leaning Church Vineyard in Northern Tasmania where their chef superbly matched our Lark Cask Strength single malt with a delicious "slow cooked mushroom and game pie served with a rosemary skewer of roasted vegetables".
They matched our Lark Single Cask malt whisky with a trio of "King prawn lightly grilled with a shot of whisky mao, Tasmanian salmon cake with crème fraiche and salmon roe and then a Tasmanian tuna sashimi with wasabi:". This was a very memorable night and everyone in attendance agreed we need to do more of them.
What's your favourite time and place to enjoy a dram?
Last thing at night when our youngest son has gone to bed, Lyn will say she'll get the chocolate while I choose the whisky. I could be anywhere in the world but these moments with my wife are just fantastic as Lyn enjoys a good malt as much as I do, and it really is a perfect way to end the day.
What do you think is going to be the next big thing on the whisky horizon?
As the big industry gets bigger we are seeing a situation where smaller distilleries around the world, producing hand crafted whiskies, are not just emerging onto the scene but I believe they will be the most prominent feature on the whisky horizon into the future.
I don't see this as a conflict because small distilleries will never be able to cater for the huge markets opening up in places like India and China, but they are certainly able to offer the whisky enthusiast an opportunity to rediscover traditional handcrafted whiskies which by the way are winning significant awards and recognition in all the whisky competitions and whisky shows around the world. Very exciting times indeed for both maker and consumer.
What's the one dram you couldn't live without?
I don't think I could live without a bottle or two of Ardbeg "beastie" tucked away in the cupboard for those moments when a deliciously, downright dirty old peaty whisky fits the bill.
Many thanks to the fabulous and inspiring Bill Lark. Who will be the next Whisky Insider? Click back soon to find out!

Learning in Godfrey Illinois how to merge bills is one of the best things card holders can do. Godfrey credit card consolidation is perfect for those people in Godfrey who are looking to better their credit for the future in Godfrey. There are lots of benefits for card holders in Godfrey that benefit from credit card consolidating. If you are thinking about debt counseling, then there are two things in Godfrey you must look into before doing this in Godfrey IL. Use these tips as a guide to credit consolidation.
There are several great factors to credit negotiation programs. One of the greatest factors in Godfrey is to have better rates. If a better rate in Godfrey can be had by you with a local credit card negotiation service than you currently have in Godfrey, then there's many reasons to consolidate your credit card debts. Merging your fast loan can include up to substantial savings in Godfrey. Look up all of your interest rates from each quick money loans and write them on the list in Godfrey. Then note the new loans rate you would be given.

If there are online cash advance loan that have a lesser rate, then you may not have in Godfrey to include them in your cash lenders agreement.
Another reason people in Godfrey love to consolidate credit card debts is to make their lives simple. By paying one credit card debt relief, they can cut out a lot of anxiety and debts paying time. Your credit card debts should not be consolidated in Godfrey by you for this reason alone however in Godfrey Illinois. You don't want to spend more on cash lending in the long term just to save a little time. Using debt consolidating programs also offers those with a credit card debts mess a chance to get out of it. By using debt relief services, they could be making lower monthly quick online cash advance loans payments than they would be if they did nothing in Godfrey. By closing out other money loans accounts, their credit may even be improved in Godfrey.
When considering debt settlement, you should turn to specialists at sites such as Godfrey credit card consolidation for an appointment.

Some credit counseling companies will tell you that credit negotiation will help you by allowing you to pay a lower interest rate in Godfrey than what you used to pay. Stress in Godfrey is also reduced because you no longer need to worry in Godfrey about numerous creditors. All you have to do is put in a single credit card settlement payment once a month and all the other bills are taken care of.
However, what these credit card settlement companies do not tell you outright in Godfrey is that the main reason why there is a reduction in interest Godfrey credit card consolidation payment is because they negotiated for a longer payment period. Longer credit negotiation payment duration means that you actually pay more in Godfrey than if you did not enter into this credit card settlement. Another thing that credit card settlement services do always tell you upfront is that not all credit counseling applicants are given the privilege in Godfrey of having low interest debts payments. Those who only have good credit standings in Godfrey enjoy this and those who don't in Godfrey are better off looking at other credit cards options.

I used to be an art teacher (k - 12) and I am now a full time artist.
I love art from the "olde" days. I'm influenced by Celtic art, Renaissance art, spiritual art and fantasy art. I also love pure design.
I had to teach all kinds of art mediums. So, I know how to work in a number of areas. My first love was clay because it offered many mediums in one medium: I could draw on it, paint on it, sculpt it and throw it into a pot. Now, in addition to my sculpture and pottery making, I am also producing fine art, designing greeting cards and gift tags and occassionally making fabric art too (costumes, wristlets, embroidered and quilted items).
I used to be an art teacher (k - 12) and I am now a full time artist (and musician). Teaching many forms, styles and genres of art gave me the background to be able to teach and express myself in a number of artistic mediums including wheel thrown pottery, sculpture, drawing, painting, illustration, computer aided graphic design, photography (including black and white darkroom techniques), stained glass design, quilting, advertising design, embroidery, weaving, loom beading, sewing, knitting, crocheting and journal-making (and any other art discipline the school required: i.e. murals, posters, puppets for the theatre, costume-making, theatrical lighting and set design, et al). I now specialize in ceramics, painting, paper goods and when I have time, a bit of fabric art.

Our Bigger Guns experience is one of the most popular and exciting activities that you could choose to do in Riga. That's hardly surprising when you consider that some of the weapons you will be handling are illegal in the UK and you'd have to get signed up by the SAS if you wanted to shoot some of these babies.
You will be taken to the police shooting range in the centre of Riga and will be handling either a Makarov or Glock pistol (Russian standard police issue), a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a Margolin and a pump action shotgun. All of the weapons are incredibly powerful and you'll be amazed by the noise and kick that follows when you squeeze the trigger. You'll get to keep your targets as a fond reminder of the day you got to play Rambo!

R.I.P. to a Great American Hero
By Aramco ExPats / / 5 December 2018
Courtesy of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum
Aramcons the world over were greatly saddened this past week by the news of the passing of the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, at the age of 94. Those of us who were living and working in Saudi Arabia at the time remember with deep appreciation the dramatic and decisive steps President Bush took in 1990–91 during the First Gulf War as leader of the coalition that drove the forces of Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait and ended a dire existential threat to the Kingdom itself. It is with good reason that, upon hearing of his death, many people lauded his achievements while mourning the loss of the man Dick Cheney described as "the greatest living American." Bush's call in his inaugural address to strive to make the United States "a kinder and gentler nation" remains an inspiration to many to this day.
The son of U.S. Senator Prescott Bush, upon the outbreak of World War II, George Herbert Walker Bush refused to take refuge in his father's wealth and fame and, instead, on his eighteenth birthday, enlisted in the U.S. Navy. As the youngest pilot in the service at the time, he flew 58 combat missions as a torpedo bomber aviator in the Pacific theater. Shot down by Japanese antiaircraft fire in 1944 on one of his missions, he was rescued from the water by an American submarine, the USS Finback. For his conspicuous bravery in action, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Thus began a long and distinguished career as a businessman and public servant.
In January 1945 he married Barbara Pierce, and together they had six children—George (future Governor of Texas and 43rd U.S. President), Robin (who died of leukemia at age 3), John (better known as Jeb, future Governor of Florida), Neil, Marvin, and Dorothy.
After graduating from Yale University he embarked on a successful career in the Texas oil industry. Following in his father's footsteps, he eventually turned his attention to public service and politics. After serving two terms as a Representative to Congress from Texas, he twice ran unsuccessfully for the Senate. Later he served in a series of high-level positions, including as Ambassador to the United Nations, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Chief of the U. S. Liaison Office in the People's Republic of China, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
In 1980 he joined Ronald Reagan on the Republican presidential ticket and subsequently served as Vice President for eight years. In 1988 he was elected as America's 41st president and for the next four years presided over the end of the Cold War, the break-up of the Communist empire, and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
His greatest test arguably came with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Undeterred by Saddam's threats, Bush rallied the United Nations and the American people and, with the support of Congress, sent 425,000 American troops to the Middle East, where they were joined by 100,000 troops from other allied nations. I had the honor of being one of the many Aramcons living in the Kingdom at the time who showed our support of the troops by visiting them in the desert and inviting them into our homes. Those are memories I shall cherish forever. To a considerable degree, I owe them to George H. W. Bush.
After losing a contentious battle for reelection in 1992, in January 1993 the outgoing president left a gracious hand-written note to his successor, William Jefferson Clinton, on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. It read:
When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too.
I wish you great happiness here. I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described.
There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I'm not a very good one to give advice; but just don't let the critics discourage you or push you off course.
You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.
Your success now is our country's success. I am rooting hard for you.
An irreplaceable national treasure and true hero, George H. W. Bush passed away on 30 November 2018 at the age of 94. May his memory and legacy live on.

Q: Foreign Key to a table with 2 columns primary key (CompositeId) I've defined the primary key as following:
CompositeId()
    .KeyProperty(x => x.Id)
    .KeyProperty(x => x.Type);

I've tried the following:
References(x => x.EntityWith2ColsPK);

And failed with:

Foreign key (Fk_MyEntity_EntityWith2ColsPK:MyEntities [Fk_EntityWith2ColsPK])) must have same number of columns as the referenced primary key (EntityWith2ColsPKs [Id, Type])

How can I reference EntityWith2ColsPK from another entity?

Update:
I've tried the following (according to AlfeG's comment):
HasMany<EntityWith2ColsPK>(x => x.EntityWith2ColsPK).KeyColumns.Add("Id", "Type").Cascade.All();

Which failed with:

Custom type does not implement UserCollectionType: EntityWith2ColsPK

But anyway I don't want a 1 to many relation, I want a 1 to 1 relation. Still, I can't make either of them work.
Also, I've tried:
HasOne<EntityWith2ColsPK>(x => x.EntityWith2ColsPK).PropertyRef(x => x.Id).PropertyRef(x => x.Type);

Which fails with:

NHibernate.MappingException : property not found: Type on entity EntityWith2ColsPK

What can I do for this to really work?

I managed to achieve something in the db.. but yet, for some reason I suspect it maps the property "Type" twice, because I want it to be both part of the Primary Key, and part of the Foreign Key..
This is what I did:
References(x => x.EntityWith2ColsPK).Columns("EntityWith2ColsPKId", "Type").Formula("Id = :EntityWith2ColsPKId AND Type = :Type");

But I received the following exception:

System.IndexOutOfRangeException : Invalid index 8 for this SqlParameterCollection with Count=8.

Because the mapping of this entity is same as EntityWith2ColsPK:
CompositeId()
    .KeyProperty(x => x.Id)
    .KeyProperty(x => ((ILocalizedEntity) x).Language);

HELP!

A: You can use something like this since you aren't using cascade anyway on your Reference
References(x => x.EntityWith2ColsPK)
    .Columns(new string[] { "ID", "TYPE" })
    .Not.Update()
    .Not.Insert();


In any case, this story follows an annoying young peasant lad, Davie, who has a lilting soprano and an unnatural affection for a goose who he's decided is his only friend. When the new local manor lord objects to Davie gathering mistletoe in his game preserve, Mildred the goose darts underfoot, and the lord is thrown from his horse. He seizes the goose as an assailant and condemns it (in court!) to be Christmas dinner. The goose's defense attorney is none other than Friar Tuck, and he prevails upon Robin Hood to save the tasty pet from the table. Perhaps because of Christmas charity, or because that kid's obnoxious fake-crying is putting everyone else off their food.
Robin comes up with a ludicrous plot to give the lord a lesson in charity through reverse psychology, culminating in pretending to beat a child bloody, and everyone is happy-ish by the end. It's very strange, and not very interesting, except in a "really, someone thought this was a good idea?" sort of way.
The overacting is pretty amusing though, and if you like surreal glimpses of Hollywood past, this isn't a terrible one.

Mycelium: What Is It and Why Is It So Important?
by Kristin Henningsen
immune support, lion's mane
Superfood mushrooms are finally getting their due. Research from the past decade has shown many health benefits to consuming functional mushrooms such as Reishi, Cordyceps and Lion's Mane, to name a few, including reduced inflammation to immune support. However, as we see an increase of products coming out on the market, there's one essential piece that often gets left behind: the mycelium. So why should you always choose a product that contains the entire lifecycle of the functional mushroom — the mycelium as well as its cultured substrate? Read on to learn what mycelium is, its numerous benefits and nutrition-rich profile and how to find the products that contain mycelium.
What Is Mycelium?
We may typically picture a mushroom as only the above ground part of a fungus, but much of the vegetative parts actually lie underground. The above-ground part of the mushroom is called the fruiting body, while the root system of the mushroom is called the mycelium. Composed of a dense mass of fine, thread-like filaments of tissue called hyphae, the mycelium is an essential part of the life support system for the fungus. These threads naturally extend into the soil, plant matter, wood and other materials to pick up water and nutrients and bring them back to the "mothership." To do so, the mycelium (the spelling of the plural form of the word is the same as the singular form) first excrete enzymes to break down the substrate around them — whether it's a fallen log, plant matter on the forest floor or nutritious substrates used in indoor cultivation, such as organic oats or rice — into a digestible size so that they can be absorbed through the mycelium's cell wall. These bite-sized nutrients can then travel up to the fruiting body and be exchanged for important sugars made via photosynthesis.
The long, microscopic fibers of the mycelium are the most bioactive stage of the mushroom's lifecycle (without the mycelium, there would be no mushroom) and form an underground network that doesn't just serve to feed the mushrooms on the surface. Though it may sound like it's out of an amazing science-fiction movie, research has shown that they also form a communication network with other plants and work symbiotically to facilitate the exchange of nutrients and sugars all over the forest. This beautiful interconnectivity is often referred to as the "wood wide web," and ensures the health not only of the mushrooms but of the entire ecosystem.
Why Is It So Important?
While, clearly, the distribution of resources all over the forest is an important function of mycelium, it's not the only benefit. Research has also shown that mycelial networks can prove effective for reducing competition of invasive species as well as for supporting the host plant's immune system via bioactive compounds found only in the mycelium. Put simply, the mycelium faces challenges as it extends and grows into its substrate surroundings and must find ways to defend against competitors, such as pathogens. The mycelium develops enzymes and metabolites that it introduces into the substrate and these compounds create protection for the mycelium and the entire mushroom. It is these unique compounds born out of defense against natural environmental stressors that increase the medicinal and nutritional value of the whole mushroom. The mycelium acts as the defense mechanism that enables the mushroom to thrive, and the mycelium subsequently supports our immune system functionality when we incorporate whole food mushrooms containing mycelium into our diet.
This has important implications for our own use of these mushrooms. Many products on the market focus almost exclusively on the high ratio of beta-glucans for immunomodulation as a primary function of mushrooms. While beta-glucans are indeed an incredible part of the fruiting body of a superfood mushroom, research shows that using a full-spectrum alternative found in whole food functional mushrooms has much more profound and long-term beneficial in supporting multiple aspects of health.
Full Spectrum Benefits, Beyond the Beta-glucans
The benefits of mushroom superfoods extend much farther from just the beta-glucans. The myriad of complex polysaccharides, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, prebiotics and digestive enzymes within the mycelium are essential pieces of the way functional mushrooms interact with our own systems. Just as mycelium play a key role to the health of the ecosystems around them, so too do they play a role in our own health.
The mushroom species in Om Mushroom Superfoods products are grown on a substrate of certified organic, gluten-free whole oats, and over the course of the mushrooms' growth, become nutritional powerhouses rich in bioactive nutrients. Om grows all their own mushrooms through their entire lifecycle, including the mycelium, primordia (baby mushrooms), and fruiting body stages to produce a nutrient-dense, full-spectrum product that has wide-ranging benefits for everyday health and wellness.

Montreal Canadiens Information
One of the original six teams, the Canadiens were founded in 1909. Since their inception they have won 24 Stanley Cups, which is the most titles held by any franchise in the NHL. Percentage wise, they have won 26% of all Stanley cup championships. Their last Cup win was in the 1992-93 season.
In 2008, Montreal made the playoffs with a 47-25 record, but failed to make it past the Conference Semifinals where they lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in five games. 2008 was memorable for celebrating 100 years as a franchise, and also becoming the first team to earn 3,000 total wins.
They made it right back into the post-season with a 41-30-11 record in 2009. They met up against the Bruins for the second year in a row in the quarter finals, but this time were unable to come out victorious. In the 2010-2011 campaign, they played the Bruins once again and lost. The 2011-12 season led to 31 wins and 35 losses in the regular season. The team finished 5th in the Northeast and did not qualify for the playoffs. They are looking to come back with a strong start in the 2012-2013 season.

PHP-Beschleuniger sind Programme, welche die Ausführung von PHP-Skripten beschleunigen sollen. Die Basis solcher Beschleuniger bildet meist ein Bytecode-Cache im Zusammenspiel mit einem Optimierer. Ab Version 5.5 verwendet PHP den Zend Optimizer+ als nativen Beschleuniger.

Funktionsweise
Ein PHP-Skript wird zuerst in einen Bytecode übersetzt, bevor es ausgeführt wird. Somit wäre es notwendig, diesen bei jedem Aufruf neu zu generieren. Durch die Verwendung eines Bytecode-Caches entfällt die ständig neue Generierung, da der Bytecode nur einmal generiert und dann zwischengespeichert wird. Zusätzlich können PHP-Beschleuniger Optimierungen am generierten Bytecode vornehmen, sodass die Ausführung nochmals beschleunigt wird.

Geschichte
Bis zur Version 5.5 hatte PHP keinen integrierten Bytecode-Cache, sodass es nötig war, PHP-Skripte bei jedem Aufruf neu zu übersetzen, was zu einer zusätzlichen Serverlast führte. Um das ständige Neu-Übersetzen zu verhindern, wurden externe Bytecode-Caches als Erweiterungen entwickelt, welche diese Funktion nachrüsten sollten. Der Einsatz einer solchen Erweiterung führte zwar zu einer Steigerung der Ausführgeschwindigkeit, brachte aber andere Probleme mit sich. So sorgte beispielsweise ein fehlerhaftes Caching des Alternative PHP Cache im Zusammenspiel mit PHP 5.4 für Schwierigkeiten. Als der vorher kommerzielle Zend Optimizer+ zur Open-Source-Software wurde, gelangte er in die nächstfolgende PHP Version 5.5 als nativer Beschleuniger.

Alternative Beschleuniger
Neben dem Zend Optimizer+ gibt es für PHP noch einige weitere Beschleuniger, welche meist ebenfalls einer freien Lizenz unterliegen.

eAccelerator

eAccelerator ist ein quelloffener Beschleuniger und dient sowohl als Bytecode-Cache als auch als Optimierer. Er speichert den Bytecode im Shared Memory und nimmt Optimierungen zur Laufzeit vor. Die Serverlast bzw. Ausführgeschwindigkeit ist laut den Entwicklern ein bis zehnmal geringer bzw. schneller als der Einsatz ohne einen Beschleuniger.

Alternative PHP Cache

Der Alternative PHP Cache (kurz APC) ist ebenfalls quelloffen, hat jedoch die Besonderheit eines User Caches. Damit können sowohl einfache Werte als auch komplexe Objekte zwischengespeichert werden. Dies ist beispielsweise vorteilhaft für das vermeiden sich wiederholender Datenbankabfragen und die damit verbundene geringere Last des Datenbankservers. Die Lebensdauer eines Wertes ist einstellbar.

XCache

Ein relativ neuer PHP-Beschleuniger ist XCache, welcher unter Open-Source Lizenz mit dem Fokus auf Sicherheit entwickelt wird. Er speichert den generierten Bytecode im Arbeitsspeicher. Außerdem besitzt er ebenfalls einen User Cache, kann jedoch im Gegensatz zu APC keine Objekte zwischenspeichern.

Sonstige
Weitere Beschleuniger sind bzw. waren:
 Turck MMCache – der Vorgänger von eAccelerator
 ionCube PHP Accelerator
 Nusphere PhpExpress
 Windows Cache Extension for PHP

Alternative Compiler

Abgesehen von Beschleunigern existieren auch alternative PHP-Compiler wie PHC, HipHop oder Roadsend, welche keine Erweiterung, sondern ein eigenständiges Programm darstellen, und den PHP-Code zunächst in C oder C++ Quelltext übersetzen, woraus dann Maschinensprache erzeugt wird. Durch den Einsatz kann die Serverlast und der Speicherverbrauch ebenfalls reduziert werden, in der Regel mehr als mit einem Bytecode-Cache.

Der Nachteil von alternativen PHP-Compilern ist jedoch, dass nicht der gesamte Sprachumfang unterstützt wird, da es sich dabei um eine eigene Implementierung der Scriptsprache handelt. Dem hingegen verwenden andere Technologien von Grund auf einen Maschinencode-Compiler, so zum Beispiel die Node.js-Plattform, welche den ausgehenden JavaScript-Code mittels der integrierten V8-Engine im Just-in-time-Verfahren in nativen Maschinencode übersetzt. Da es sich um keine eigenständige Implementierung handelt, ist hierbei auch der gesamte Sprachumfang von JavaScript verfügbar, obwohl der Quellcode der eigentlichen Scriptsprache zu optimiertem Zielcode kompiliert wurde.

We believe China Water Affairs Group's (CWA) strong financial position (net debt/equity FY18 c 70%) and impressive track record of generating returns for shareholders should enable it to exploit the favourable market conditions and allow for a continuation of its strong growth profile. Following the recent acquisition of 29.5% of Kangda International, CWA's market valuation appears undemanding compared to its peers despite its track record of delivering attractive returns for its shareholders.
Applying peer group average multiples would indicate a valuation of c HK$11.4 per share (up HK$0.9 per share since we last published in December 2018), for CWA, c HK$3 per share above the current share price. At HK$8.2 per share, CWA trades on a PEG ratio of only 0.6x versus 1.6x for its peers. Applying an undemanding PEG ratio of 1.0x would indicate a valuation of HK$13.0 per share. Our DCF points to a valuation of HK$11.9 per share.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program stimulates technological innovation in the private sector by strengthening the role of small business concerns in meeting Federal research and development needs, increasing the commercial application of federally supported research results, and fostering and encouraging participation by socially and economically disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses.
The SBIR program solicits proposals from the small business sector consistent with NSF's mission. The program is governed by Public Law 112-81 (SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011). A main purpose of the legislation is to stimulate technological innovation and increase private sector commercialization. The NSF SBIR program is therefore in a unique position to meet both the goals of NSF and the purpose of the SBIR legislation by transforming scientific discovery into both social and economic benefit, and by emphasizing private sector commercialization.
Accordingly, NSF has formulated broad solicitation topics for SBIR that conform to the high-technology investment sector's interests. The topics are detailed on the SBIR/STTR topics homepage.
Note: The submission of the same project idea to both this SBIR Phase I solicitation and the concurrent STTR Phase I solicitation is strongly discouraged.
More information about the NSF SBIR Program can be found on the Program Homepage.

The Doll Sweet Journal.: Kitchen Intervention!
I generally don't really care what people do with their houses in terms of decorating styles, cleanliness and organization (or lack thereof), old house versus new house, small house versus big house, etc. One's home is one's own domain and one has the freedom to do with it what one will. (Ooo, philosophical!) It's an entirely personal thing that's a matter of one's taste, style, lifestyle, means, and priority-level. That's all fine and good.
However there is one thing I've noticed over the years in some houses that bugs me quite a bit. It involves the kitchen. Fortunately it's not in the majority of kitchens I've seen, but it seems to be happening more and more. I think it's a more recent thing that goes along with the now-big trend of streamlining and simplifying.
My major pet peeve when it comes to houses is this: bare kitchen counter-tops.
Ugh, how I detest them! All of them, including (supposedly) lived-in houses that are on the market trying to get themselves sold. The kitchen is the heart of the home, so how can the counters be bare and empty? It makes the kitchen look so empty, so devoid of personality, of action, of anything, just a utilitarian room where you might prepare food sometimes. Having things out on the counters is convenient and practical. It gives a kitchen personality, filling it in and helping to make it a welcome, happy place to be. When I see bare counters in a kitchen I feel sad for the kitchen and for the inhabitants of the house. I really do! I get a strong desire to undertake a kitchen intervention by going through the cabinets and drawers and arranging things in a nice and practical way on their counter-tops. Voila! An instantly cheerier, happier, more colorful kitchen!
These are pictures of my own kitchen. Imagine how bare it would look without these things on the counters!
My curated cookbook and recipe binder collection, the phone, hand sanitizer, and of course, an owl.
Utensil crocks. So practical and useful! I use these almost every day.
The silver one on the left is meaningful; it was a wedding present from a college friend from our Crate & Barrel registry. I like seeing that every day.
If I didn't keep my blender out, I'd use it even less than I already do!
Household and school binders, iPad storage, and decorative/seasonal items.
So if you have hardly anything on your counters, I beg you to take mercy on your poor empty kitchen and reconsider! Even if you have some good reasons for keeping it more on the bare side, just consider the happy effects of putting out a cute utensil crock, a fruit bowl, and your most-used appliance.
Saving America's empty, sad kitchens, one kitchen at a time. Someone's gotta do it!

In December 2017, fellow eSwatini PCV Deacon hosted a camp to teach girls and young women how to code using Scratch, the visual programming language. This past Saturday, he hosted a Scratch Day competition. The students returned to central eSwatini to showcase their cartoons and video games in competition. The theme given for the competition was solving a problem in eSwatini.
More than thirty students represented GLOW clubs from all over the country. While the cartoons and video games weren't being judged by panels from Women in Engineering (of eSwatini), students participated in discussions about women and girls in STEM after watching a TED talk from Dr. Knatokie Ford. In another room, students were invited to explore electric circuits in unconventional ways among other things. The students also has the opportunity to participate in a typing competition.
I am happy to report that our students placed third in cartoon design, and won the video game design competition. Their video game featured a girl catching falling good advice and avoiding falling bad advice. Catching good advice granted the player one point while catching bad advice subtracted a point from the player's score. For their efforts, they won a tablet, backpacks, and a laptop. The above picture shows Deacon (the man behind G3 and Scratch Day), my Scratch-coding students (from our local high school), Mike (the Deputy Chief of Mission to eSwatini), and me.
Recently, primary and high school students from all around Swaziland gathered at the University of Swaziland – Kwaluseni to compete with robots. The competition, which promotes science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in Swaziland, was sponsored in part by the U.S. Embassy, the STEM Foundation, and the Royal Swazi Sugar Corporation. More than thirty student teams competed.
The students were tasked with using legos and a small computer to build and program an autonomous robot that could navigate a course and compete various missions. Some missions included delivering one structure to a specified location in the course, and retrieving an item from a location in the course. The students in the picture above are completing final checks before their robot attempts the missions on the course.
In the end, a team from U-Tech High School in Big Bend won the competition, and will be journeying to compete in Johannesburg.

Qualcomm Technologies ups the pace for MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS
For teams contesting the highly competitive and demanding Formula One™ championship, no detail is too small. Race cars require precise and calculated craftsmanship—build materials must be strong but lightweight and able to handle the physical stress of racing at 200-miles-per-hour. Advanced hybrid engines must use every drop of fuel efficiently, and on-board sensors must deliver precise and timely data to engineers in order to be competitive.
For the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, data collection is key to its no-detail-too-small approach. The team wanted to improve and speed up the offload of data collected by the sensors and thermal imaging cameras embedded in their 2015 W06 car during practice sessions so the engineers could spend more time fine-tuning the vehicle rather than waiting to receive and read data. In 2014, the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team turned to Qualcomm Technologies Inc. (QTI) for a data transmission solution capable of delivering against its specific speed and reliability requirements.
Prior to the collaboration with QTI, MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS relied on multiple plug-in connections to download the massive amount of tire data generated by its on-board thermal cameras while the car was stopped in the garage. The thermal imaging data provided valuable insight into the behavior of the car's tires which, once collected and analyzed by the team's engineers, provides critical information to find invaluable tenths of a second in lap time from improved tire performance.
With more than a decade of automotive industry experience to draw on, QTI set to work on a novel solution that would allow significant volumes of data to be transmitted over a 5 GHz band Wi-Fi network while the car was in the pit lane or outside the team's race garage, rather than requiring a stationary offload via cable, which resulted in a loss of valuable practice time on the track.
The first solution QTI provided was based on a single 801.22ac chipset, the QCA6574, and a Snapdragon 805 processor embedded within a single board computer (SBC) design. With this, QTI was able to deliver stationary data transmission that exceeded the requirements of MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS, fitted into a prototype that was tested during the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. Data during the race showed that multiple files could be offloaded from the car—with over 180MB of data transferred in about 26 seconds, leading to an end-to-end exchange of about 88 Mbps.
To provide the very high data-speed connection required for non-stationary transmission—when the car was driving in the pit lane but not stopping—the initial plan was to design and implement eight custom-made chipsets and aggregate the bandwidth (40 MHz from each). After much testing and a number of revisions and redesigns, the team discovered that 80 MHz channels and just four Wi-Fi chips not only simplified the system overall but actually achieved better results. The finished product is a distributed system consisting of small boxes at multiple locations on the car. Additionally, each thermal tire sensor now had its own SBC, resulting in a system that was more flexible, robust, and easier to manage.
Finally, access points were set up in the pit lane and the garage to boost throughput during both stationary and in-motion data transmission. With just a bit of network tweaking to deliver quicker connectivity and immediate data transfer, both aspects of the mission were successfully completed.
With the new system up and running, lag is one small detail MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS team won't be sweating this season.
