Read past Sandpiper Vacation Rentals guest reviews and discover your perfect vacation cottage. We appreciate your review once you have stayed with us!
Beach Haven was exactly what this Ohio family needed to unwind and thaw out from winter! What a beautiful home, with everything you need to feel right at home. A short walk to the beautiful Seaside beach made our stay one that we will never forget. Everything that was promised was delivered and explained within minutes of asking Sandpiper vacations. THAT is amazing customer service! We brought our telescope to view the night sky at night and the stars were beautiful from the roof terrace! Thank you for opening your home for other families to enjoy and experience Seaside!
A Beautiful Stay at Beautiful Haven!
The layout of the house is GREAT!
The layout of the house is GREAT, perfect for entertainment. The house was immaculate when we got there and the layout was perfect. There was a book of menus for the surrounding restaurants and it was so helpful when decided where to eat. There were also maps of the area which helped us find everything such as the fitness area. The location of the house was ideal, it was less than a 5 minute walk to the beach and the restaurants. Our friends who stayed in a much larger 5 story house mentioned multiple times how they wished they had our house. We will definitely stay here again!
This is an amazing house that is so comfortable, walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the ocean. The porches are amazing and great for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We can\'t wait until next year to do it all over again.
Stylish, spotless and in ship-shape. Peaceful bedrooms gave us each a sense of privacy. Great water pressure for showering :) Used the kitchen a lot this vacay for some at home meals (we usually always eat out) and found it well equipped. A rainy morning turned out to be a treat on the covered open porch. Close to Seaside's best jaunts. Excellent value for the money. This a such a happy space! We just did not want to leave!
This house was the most perfect set-up and location for our family beach week. We shared the house with our good friends (also a family of 5) and the bedroom set—up was perfect with the 2 master suites and 2 kid rooms. The house has every kitchen accessory necessary for cooking in some evenings - we esp loved the low country boil pot and ladle! Such a bonus. On the one rainy day we had we all enjoyed the extensive game collection the house provided. The second floor porch had gorgeous ocean/sunset views and was the perfect place for a cup of coffee in the morning and for a glass of wine in the evenings once the kids were in bed. The pool was a great end to a long day at the beach. The houses boogie boards and floats were an amazing bonus too. Saved us from having to travel with so much! The green space on front of the house was perfect for wiffle ball and bubbles in the mornings when still too chilly for beach and in the evenings when the kids needed to burn off the last bit of energy. The location can not be beaten. It was the easiest walk to the beach and too convenient for running back and forth. The fact that we were on a private beach was huge for our enjoyment bc the rest of the beach was packed. We also loved having the beach chairs included as part of our stay. Major plus too that this house was in a tiny gated community. Very few cars coming and going which was huge for the safety of our collective 6 kids under 10 yo. All in all we couldn't have found a better house for our needs and Sandpiper Vacation Rentals was a dream to work with! BEST vacation yet!!!! Booked for next year already!
Thanks so much for staying with us! Come back again soon!
Great updated cottage, clean with relaxing porch!
We loved our spring break stay at the Sandpiper cottage. It was updated, clean, comfortable beds, and perfect for our family of 4! My kids especially loved the porch swing, the bunk beds, and the bath-tub with "sprayer" for their nightly bath. The outdoor shower was another fun treat. While we were there, they installed a new grill - my husband really enjoyed having that right outside. Sandpiper is literally steps to the beach. We ordered attachments for the bikes provided and never got back in our car the rest of our stay. You can walk to town, beach, pools, everything! Thanks for letting us enjoy your beautiful cottage. We will be back!
We stayed here in February for a girls' trip and it was the perfect spot! You can't get any closer to the beach without paying beachfront prices! Just cross the street, go down a few steps and you're there. It was so easy for a quick walk to the beach to enjoy the sunset. We also walked down to Seaside on the beach....beautiful! The house comes with bikes which we used to bike over to the Alyce Beach and then (a much shorter ride) into Seaside for dinners. We didn't get in our car once after we arrived. The house itself is adorable with a newly renovated open kitchen floorplan that's bring and modern (love the white herringbone backsplash). The bathrooms, also newly renovated, are bright and cheery and look straight out of a magazine. Would highly recommend this cute home as well as the guest house, Sugaree.

Valley mayor speaks out on trash arrest
Published 7:30 am Tuesday, December 13, 2022
By Charlotte Reames
The 82-year-old Valley citizen arrested for failure to pay her trash bill apparently received a PPP loan worth more than $20,000 through her tax preparation business, where documents show she is the lone employee.
Martha Menefield was arrested on Nov. 27 on charges of failure to pay-trash.
According to city officials, Menefield's trash bill was $77, and she received numerous notifications that her bill was due.
Valley Mayor Leonard Riley said Menefield received $20,832 from a PPP loan in April of 2021, which is public information as all PPP loans are. According to the loan applied for under Menefield's name and address, Riley showed documentation that she made $99,984 per year from a tax preparation service.
"She said she made that much money out of her house," Riley said. "If somebody makes good money out of their house, they should be able to pay their garbage bill."
Riley said the city has been looking into fraudulent PPP loans applied for without proper business licenses. According to Riley, there have been around 150-160 fraudulent loans.
Riley said that he could not make a statement on Menefield's income status beyond the public record of the PPP loan. However, he said she does not have a business license.
Menefield is one of many citizens to have been issued a warrant for the same offense.
"She's been consistently late," said Valley Mayor Leonard Riley. "She got arrested for missing court."
The procedure of the ordinance has been in place since 2006, according to Riley. Menefield is not the only citizen to have civil action taken against them. In the last two years, there have been 21 arrest warrants for citizens who failed to pay or participate in trash pickup. Riley said that of those, there were eight White and 13 Black citizens.
However, Code Enforcement Officer MJ Jones said not all of the warrants resulted in arrests.
"Six of those came up here later and spoke to me," Jones said. "I called the judge or the clerk's office, had the warrant recalled and let them pay in full," Jones said. "So again, a conversation settles all that."
However, Riley said that he plans to bring the trash ordinance to the attention of council members at the next city council meeting.
The Valley Times-News reached out to Menefield for comment last week, but she did not comment for the story.
An ordinance in the city of Valley makes the trash service mandatory for citizens. When a citizen fails to pay for three months, code enforcement puts a reminder on their bill notifying them that it is past due and that they have until the 10th of the month to pay it.
If the payment is not received by the 10th, code enforcement may suspend trash service to the individual's home and issue a court date.
"Once the 10th comes of the third month, I start making phone calls. I call every single phone number on every single account that is late, and it takes me the better part of a day, if not a little over a day," Jones said. "If I can't get ahold of them by phone, I go to their house and do a door hanger."
Between the 15th and 20th of the month, if Jones can't make contact with the individual, he mails a handwritten citation to each household with the date of their court appearance.
"It's a tremendous amount … between 30 and 45," Jones said.
Before the court date, Jones tries to make contact again by phone, email or door hanger. If the individual does not appear in court, then the judge may proceed with a warrant. However, Jones said that instead he tries to make contact a third time. Citizens have until the following Monday to come by city hall and work out a payment plan. At that point, if no contact has been made, a warrant is sent.
"I did everything by the book, everything by protocol and procedure," Jones said.
Chief Mike Reynolds said Menefield was treated respectfully by officers, according to a Valley Police Department press release. He said the police department was required to fulfill the bench warrant.
The VPD press release also said Menefield had a history of unfulfilled trash payments. Over the last two years, her trash service has been suspended multiple times for non-payment.
Jones said another citizen in a similar situation went to city hall to tell him he couldn't pay his bill. He appeared in court and pled a hardship. The judge granted him more time and allowed him to pay in installments.
"The point is to get the bill paid, not to arrest people," Jones said.
Jones said that the ordinance on trash pickup offers a discounted senior citizen rate of $16.50 rather than the standard $20. According to the city code, the ordinance allows exemption to any household that can prove its sole source of income is social security benefits by the first billing date of the year.
Jones also said many city officials who have nothing to do with the ordinance or code enforcement have received hateful calls and threats from at least 30 states.
"They were getting 60 calls a day the first week, cussing and screaming at them. They didn't do nothing to deserve that," Jones said. "We didn't write the ordinance."

Q: How do I run Python through Apache Similar to PHP? I am trying to set up the latest version of Python through the latest version of Apache HTTP server and I am clueless as to what I should do next?

A: One solution will be to use mod_python. Another one is modwsgi.
I recommend that you read the chapter in the Django Book about deployment. Even if you aren't using Django, it will expose you to the technologies used by most python developers.

Where does the DJI Inspire 1 fit in a fleet of professional helicams?
Every time a new piece of technology is introduced to the film making world there seems to be a balanced mixture of excitement and sighs. The optimists are excited to see the evolution, however the pessimistic sighs often question the application of use and more often than not raise concerns that the old kit is redundant.
At Out Filming we started dabbling with drones in 2010 and certainly went through a lot of pain in the early days. Getting a camera airborne was the easy part, however chasing the Elysium of stable images was another story. Fast forward to 2015 and many of the issues we faced will never plague the new user.
With a fleet of 12 UAVs we have the capability of flying everything from a GoPro to a Red Dragon, so why did the DJI Inspire 1 get our attention? The answer is simple…convenience. When not restricted by travel, we typically fill our van with kit for the average heli job. Batteries, tools, generators, charging stations, spares, backup craft etc a sea of Peli cases. All designed to allow us quick setup time when arriving on location.
We have been using DJI flight controllers since our first craft and have a collection of their excellent Zenmuse gimbals. However we took our time before committing to a DJI airframe. We saw the S900 as the perfect sub 7kg work horse and have been very pleased with the results.
When we are not airborne or working on projects together the Out Filming crew work as freelancers and we often talk about the need for a helicam in a case. You are on a shoot and need a couple of quick wides to set the scene, but don't have the time or sometimes the budget to bring in a dedicated aerial team. As a freelance camera operator, my clients often jokingly ask if I have a drone in the truck to get a shot. This is where the Inspire 1 fits in perfectly.
The Inspire 1 and all its bits arrives in an average size case that now comes with me on nearly all my jobs. It takes about 5 minutes to setup and has a conveniently small footprint for launching. When airborne and the landing gear is up the Inspire is a serious bit of kit. It is the easiest of our craft to fly, is incredibly nippy and handles higher wind speeds. The controllers are also well built and provide an excellent amount of feedback.
Configuring the Inspire and monitoring its flight is all handled by the DJI Pilot application. A detailed set of telemetry is overlaid on the camera image, most importantly this includes a dynamic flight time countdown.
The 4K capable camera apparently shares the same sensor as the GoPro and delivers an impressive image for its size, it is a shade too sharp, but hopefully this will get fixed in software. As a single operator the 3 axis gimbal can be configured and operated by the pilot remote control and application, however the best results are achieved by activating a second remote and having someone else frame the shots through another instance of the application (or directly from the remotes HDMI port). The stability of the gimbal is excellent and it takes quite a lot to push it to its limits. Flight times are incredibly good with this machine, we often see over 15 minutes on a larger battery. This is plenty of time to secure a number of shots.
However, it is not quite perfect and we have a small list of things we would like to improve. Charging is a painful process, even with the bigger 180w power supply. It can take up to an hour to fully charge a larger (5700 vs 4500mAh) of the two battery options. We have yet to see a sensible charging system that could be powered from a leisure battery. Then, having to remove the props for transport is a shame, especially when DJI offer folding props on their larger craft. We are currently experimenting with carbon fibre alternatives and they seem to improve the craft handling and air time. The case is well thought out, but not rugged enough for air travel. There are a number of alternatives and we have one that allows the craft to be stowed in flight mode with the gimbal on. It seems that DJI are very keen for their user base to be on the latest firmware. In some cases the craft and DJI Pilot app actually forces your hand to upgrade. Experience has taught us to be wary and we often hang back before committing.
To us it's an excellent piece of equipment, one of many in our figurative tool box, and we expect it to work properly without having to continually tinker with it. Our collective knowledge is considerable as we've been at this a long time in drone terms but we don't have time to be beta testers. To summarise it perfectly fits our needs and is the ideal single case solution. We are so impressed that two of them have now joined the fleet.

Look! & See! Norman Rockwell at Work!
Little Girl Observing Lovers on a Train, Norman Rockwell, 1944.
Cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, August 12, 1944.

the collection of The Memorial Art Gallery.
Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera
at the George Eastman House
When I was in college, students at my art school would make snide comments about anyone's artwork that looked like Norman Rockwell's. Of course, this was at the height of an American romance with abstraction, in the wake of Jackson Pollock and Willem DeKooning.
Then along came Andy Warhol and the whole argument was upset. Pop Art was a kind of insider's joke about American culture, except that it was seen by the public as a catalyst towards becoming a celebrity artist - taking mass marketing as a subject to capitalize, in Andy Warhol's case.
I can see it now from a new perspective. Teaching art in college as I do, one can see what people's aptitudes allow, among a cohort ( of art students ). For example, students who are learning illustration still respect the ability to draw from life, and they practice that skill. Almost all art students respect the use of the camera, enabling them to build a composition with the requisite amount of "information".
Just as Norman Rockwell achieved widespread appeal as the artist who painted covers for The Saturday Evening Post - he lost the respect of the fine art world as he was catering to his clients and in the process appearing mawkishly sentimental. Fine artists would call this "selling out" or even "buckeye" (keeping your eyes on the bucks $$$).
Maybe today we are all grown up and don't make the fine distinctions which were so divisive about the holiness of fine arts versus illustration. This argument would be lost on the general public, and eventually dismissed - just look at the elevation of an artist and illustrator Maxfield Parrish for example. Norman Rockwell has a lot in common with Parrish, especially on a formal level. This brings me to another point - can you really tell the difference between Norman Rockwell's illustration and, say the paintings of regional artists like Grant Wood?
When Norman Rockwell's paintings begin to sell for a million at auction, people begin to notice, and to collect rather than criticize. I look at the exhibition of Rockwell's art at The George Eastman House from a different angle. When I was younger I spent years as an illustrator and designer; I didn't mind working on commission, and I never missed a deadline. Of course there are differences between illustration and fine art - the first being the intent of the artist. When I look at Norman Rockwell's art on view in the show, I see an artist who goes out of his way to create a pleasing picture suitable for a mass market that tells a succinct story. Rockwell really is a visual journalist who hits his stride in the late 1940's.

The George Eastman House presents Rockwell paintings alongside the photos he orchestrated. The focus is on characters, and the gallery visitor can see how closely Rockwell followed his reference photos. His best models were his neighbors - whether it was in Arlington, Vermont, or later in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Rockwell played the role of the director - getting the character's face just right to express the emotion of the story, fixing the lights just so, all with the right props and attitude. And the funny thing was that Rockwell hired photographers to do the camera work, as he said - he had enough other work arranging the shoot and making the paintings.
The interesting thing in this exhibit is comparing the photos to the original art when it is available. I think there are too many reproductions in this show for me, but it goes to underscore the point that this art was created precisely to be reproduced in the hundreds and thousands and millions of copies.
My art students would say that Rockwell was corny, but he was also able to deal with tricky social issues during the civil rights era of the late 1950's and early 1960's.
At the entry to the show, in the short documentary film narrated by Norman Rockwell's son Peter, he mentions the paintings depicting the four freedoms annunciated by F.D.R. ( which I consider to be among Rockwell's finest work) and it is a shame they are not included in the present exhibition. With that exception, we can learn a lot about Americana through the lens and the art of this illustrator.
A couple of funny things hit me as I was leaving the show. I made a connection between Norman Rockwell's use of stencil lettering to sign his name on a painting and the use of that same technique by Jasper Johns. And thinking about Jasper Johns - his flat and frontal approach does have something in common with Rockwell. Then I saw "Merry Christmas Grandma.. We Came In Our New Plymouth"
an advertisement made in 1951 with an accompanying photo of a little boy who looks as if he was straight out of a Diane Arbus photo. With a heightened sense of irony, I left the show and thought about that for a while. It is all about the artist's intent.


Are you looking forward to a family beach vacation, but worried about affording the cost of a kennel for your canine companions? Well worry no more fellow pet lovers! There are many beaches throughout the USA that welcome little Fido along on your travels. One great destination for dog owners in search of a beach vacation is Jekyll Island, Georgia.
Jekyll Island sits roughly halfway between the metros of Savannah and Jacksonville and is largely made up of barrier island beaches and dune lines flanked by woodlands. Here you can partake in fun activities such as golf, tennis, kayaking, and biking.
There is a water park providing fun for the whole family, along with quieter pursuits such as bird watching and walking the beautiful shores.
If you bring your family dog along with you, walking along the shores is something that you will indeed want to do, because Jekyll Island allows your furry friends on the beach too. Dogs are allowed on Jekyll Island Beach all year long, which makes it an ideal getaway for families traveling with pets.
Additionally, there are abundance of pet friendly hotels, motels, and cabins available for your stay. If you are traveling with your pet, reservation is recommended, as many places offer only certain rooms for those who bring pets along. They also ask that you be sure to clean up after your pet as well, in consideration of the other guests and beach-goers!

Linda Joy Wachner (born February 3, 1946) is an American businesswoman. She was President and CEO of Warnaco Group Inc. from 1986 to 2001.  She began her career as a buyer for department stores including Foley's and Macy's.

Biography
Born to a Jewish family in New York City and raised in Queens, New York, the daughter of Shirley and Herman Wachner. Her father was a fur salesman and her mother worked as a sales associate at Saks Fifth Avenue. In 1966, Wachner graduated with a B.A. in business administration from the University of Buffalo. After school, she held a succession of jobs first working for the Associated Merchandising Corporation, the New York City buying arm of Federated Department Stores; then as an assistant buyer at Foley's department store in Houston; and then as the bra and girdle buyer at Macy's in New York City. In 1974, she then took a marketing job at Warnaco and soon became a vice president, the company's first. In 1978, she went to work for Norton Simon tasked with turning around the money-losing U.S. division of Max Factor. In her second year, the division reported a $5 million profit. Max Factor was purchased by Esmark in 1983 and then after being purchased by Beatrice Foods in 1984, Wachner raised $280 million and tried to buy the company; Beatrice rejected her offer.

In 1986, hearing that Warnaco's CEO, Robert Matura, wanted to take the company private, she partnered with Los Angeles investor Andrew Galef and offered $36 a share for the company. Although a bidding war broke out with competing bidder Matura, Wachner and Galef ultimately won the bid paying $46.50 a share or $550 million of which $500 million was borrowed via Drexel Burnham Lambert. Wachner effectively took control of the company becoming at the time the only female CEO of a Fortune 500 industrial company. In October 1991, Warnaco went public. She shrunk the business, selling off money losing lines to focus on two divisions: intimate apparel and menswear.

During this time Warnaco had licensing agreements in menswear with Speedo, Calvin Klein, Christian Dior, Hathaway, Chaps by Ralph Lauren, and Jack Nicklaus; and in intimate apparel with Valentino, Ungaro, Scaasi, Bob Mackie, Fruit of the Loom, and Victoria's Secret. In 1990 Wachner sold 95% of its activewear division which included Speedo bathing suits for $85 million to a management group led by Wachner and several other Warnaco executives. In 1992, the company, renamed Authentic Fitness, went public. In 1999, Warnaco reacquired Authentic Fitness for $504 million ($414 million in cash and $120 million in the assumption of debt).

In 2000, Calvin Klein, Inc. sued both Warnaco and Wachner individually for trademark violations, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. The lawsuit stemmed from Warnaco's selling Calvin Klein branded jeans and underwear to warehouse clubs such as Costco and BJ's Wholesale Club, which Klein contended devalued his brand name. Warnaco responded by saying that Klein had known of the sales to warehouse clubs all along and that he had failed to participate in meetings about the design of Warnaco's Calvin Klein clothing. The lawsuit was settled in 2001. Although the terms of the settlement were not publicly revealed, The New York Times reported that Warnaco would retain its license for Calvin Klein jeanswear but would have to limit its sales of such jeans to warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers, while Klein or his design team would have the right to approve changes in cut and material but would have to respond quickly to Warnaco's questions and requests for changes.

Warnaco filed for bankruptcy protection on June 11, 2001. In November of that year, Wachner left her position as chief executive of Warnaco, but continued to provide transition assistance during the company's bankruptcy. Wachner's contract (which would otherwise have entitled her to a payment of $43.6 million on termination) had been voided as a result of the bankruptcy.

Other
In 1993, Fortune magazine listed Wachner among the seven "roughest, toughest, most intimidating bosses". Also on the list were T. J. Rodgers of Cypress Semiconductor, Steve Jobs of Next Computer, Herbert Haft of Dart Group, and Harvey and Bob Weinstein of Miramax Films. In 1996, Wachner was reported to be the highest-paid female corporate executive in the United States.

Personal life
In 1973, she married Seymour Appelbaum who was 31 years her senior; he died in 1983. They did not have any children.

Moose Mountain is an -long ridge located in the eastern part of the town of Hanover in Grafton County, New Hampshire. The mountain is flanked to the north by Holts Ledge, at , and to the south (across Mascoma Lake) by Shaker Mountain, at . It is traversed by the Appalachian Trail, a  National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine. Moose Mountain is outside the White Mountain National Forest, but the trail runs through a narrow corridor along the ridge which is administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The trail can be accessed from the south along Three Mile Road in Hanover, and from the north along Goose Pond Road in Lyme, New Hampshire.

Moose Mountain has two summits, slightly over 1 mile apart. The higher summit, North Peak, has an elevation of , while a subsidiary summit known as South Peak has an elevation of . The mountain lies entirely within the Connecticut River watershed, with runoff flowing ultimately to Long Island Sound. The north end of the mountain drains into Hewes Brook, which enters the Connecticut River in Lyme, and most of the western side of the ridge drains into Mink Brook, a tributary of the Connecticut that flows through Hanover. The east side and extreme southwestern side of Moose Mountain drain into tributaries of the Mascoma River, which flows to the Connecticut through Lebanon, New Hampshire. Goose Pond is a large lake that sits to the east of Moose Mountain.

Northeast Airlines Flight 946 crashed into the side of Moose Mountain in 1968, resulting in the deaths of 32 passengers and crew.

BBKA Plan for Nationwide Queen Rearing Training
The British Beekeepers Association ( BBKA) which represents more than 25,000 beekeepers has set out plans for a nationwide system of training beekeepers to rear new Queen bees.
There has been a lack of commercial bee breeders in the UK and a consequent reliance on imported Queens. These queens, although checked for health, are not adapted to our climate. There is an increasing interest in the qualities of native black bees too.
So the BBKA initiative will start with 6 basic skills queen rearing courses - for people who can be trained to raise queens in their own branches and make them available to beekeepers needing them. It's envisaged that a total of 72 people will be trained at this level initially.
Photo credit: Bermondsey Street Bees
This plan fits in nicely with the new proposals by Defra for much more reliance on good local queen supplies therefore diminishing the number of imported queens.
It's hoped that the theory sessions will start during the winter. This programme 'Queen Rearing for Beginners' will concentrate on beekeepers with a small number of colonies and use the likes of the Miller method which requires no special equipment and is suitable for someone who just wants to raise a few queens. There will be no grafting involved.
BBKA Chairman, Margaret Wilson said: "It is hoped that from this beginning members will start their own queen rearing groups. We realise that many Area Associations already have their own programmes and we are not trying to usurp or interfere with those. However, a lot of members ask us about queen rearing so this programme is designed for them."
It is intended to run queen rearing courses at 6 centres where 12 people per centre can be trained to rear queens in their own branches.
Training the Trainers
To extend the Queen raising abilities to as many associations and branches as quickly as possible, the BBKA plans include a higher level training to provide the "Training of Trainers" to equip them with higher level skills and a variety of queen raising competencies, who can then train others in the basic skills.
There will be 4 higher level skills courses for 10 people on each course. This will likely appeal to beekeepers who already have their General Husbandry or Advanced Husbandry qualifications.
BBKA Chairman, Margaret Wilson, said: "We are hoping to cascade this out across the country if it is successful, so we are putting plans in place to start this early next year in oder to take advantage of the beekeeping season in 2019."
More information will be available soon in BBKA News and on the website.

Q: Save Exif metadata while converting TIFF to PDF How can you convert the metadata saved in the TIFF file (in EXIF format) when you convert your TIFF to a PDF?
For example, in the TIFF file, I can see the camera model used to make the picture. When I make a PDF based on this TIFF, I seem to lose this information. Is there a way to embed this information in the PDF file?

A: In theory, you should be able to read the exif data from the tiff file, re-encode it to XMP format and add it as a stream object to the metadata entry of the image stream in the PDF.
I believe that Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator will do this; I'm not sure that there are other tools to do this. Or, what other tools will extract that XMP metadata information from a PDF image.

Everyday throughout the school year, the welfare of California's children is entrusted to the school bus system. Getting children safely to and from school depends on the work of school bus drivers and on safe driving by motorists around buses and bus stops. Although children are exposed to risk when riding school buses, great harm can also occur when they enter and exit them. As a personal injury attorney, we know that it is essential to protect your children.
There are many ways these types of accidents can happen. Children can slip and fall on the bus steps. They are also endangered when impatient drivers pass a stopped bus when its red lights are flashing. Children have also been run over by school buses.
This means they must not approach the bus while it is moving. They should stay off the street until the bus is stopped and its red lights are flashing. They must wait until the bus driver gives them the go-ahead to enter.
The danger zone is any area on the road that is within ten feet of the bus. Children are often struck by cars within this zone because drivers cannot see them there. Children should walk along the road side or sidewalk until they are ten feet in front of the bus. They should also be able to see the bus driver's eyes so that the bus driver can see them as well. In addition, children should never cross the road behind the bus.
The handrails should be used when going up or down the bus steps. Children should always look to the right when exiting the bus in case a car is trying to pass the bus on the right side. They should keep their clothing and book bags clear of the handrail and door. If a child drops something next to or under the bus, he or she must tell the bus driver and get his permission before picking it up.
When entering the bus they should be in a line facing the door.
School bus accidents are devastating. No child, parent, or family should ever be exposed to such an ordeal. The costs of this type of accident are many. You have the right to compensation for the medical expenses and the anguish of such an event. Litigation is often complex in cases of this type. This is why it is important to seek the help of a Mission Viejo personal injury attorney. Silverthorne Attorneys have the experience and dedication to pursue these types of cases.Contact us for a free consultation.


Seth Godin posted about "Enormity" today. It got me wondering if I should post about Today, Martin Luther King, Jr., his "I Have a Dream Speech". Then, at dinner tonight we were talking about JFK, MLK, RFK and how tumultuous those times were. What a time to be a teenager.
I am not worthy to comment, but I am thankful that so many great men did so much.

Ripened in the age-old tradition, Doux de Montagne originates from the Monts du Velay region of France. Its name, word by word, means "soft" or "smooth (doux)" and mountain (montagne). It is a delightful cheese, and matches well with ales, light sparkling wines, and champagne. Try it sliced on a sandwich, or as part of a cheese platter. It's also great as a snack before or after dinner.
In the early 1960s, it was discovered that adding beer to cheese helped to preserve it, as well as making it taste rather good. Ilchester® brand's Beer Cheese features a flavorful combination of extra strong ale and a secret blend of spices that are added to mature Somerset Cheddar. This cheese is perfect for snacking and absolutely mouth-watering when sliced and melted over fresh-from-the-oven beer bread. And, it goes down perfectly with a glass of beer on the side!
Back by popular demand, cooking Parmesan is in the house! With a similar texture to cream cheese this is a salty, must have addition to any home made sauce. Great for an herb Parmesan base for pizza or a pungent Alfredo sauce for pasta. The possibilities are endless!

Step 5: Select the data you want to send from Pendo to Etsy.
Integration of Pendo and Etsy
Let's look at the introduction first. We're going to explain what Pendo is, and what Etsy is. Then we'll tell how they're different, and how they're similar. And then we'll tell what the reader will learn by reading the article. We want to engage our readers, so we're going to use some things that are interesting or funny about them. Things like this. "eBay was founded in San Jose, California, as an online auction site in 1995. Today, it has more than 3 million sellers around the world, and serves over 1 billion listings per year." That's a fact about eBay that's interesting. Another example might be. "In 2014, Facebook bought the popular messaging app WhatsApp, which had 450 million users at the time." We're not going to write an article about why Facebook bought WhatsApp, but we can still tell a bit about it to give our readers an idea of why we're writing about Pendo and Etsy.
Now let's look at the body paragraphs. We will have three body paragraphs. The first one will talk about Etsy, and the second one will talk about integration of Pendo and Etsy. Then we will have a conclusion paragraph.
Pendo?
Pendo is a software as a service (SaaS. application that helps companies cplect user feedback from their websites and mobile apps. By providing a single platform for customer feedback management across multiple channels, Pendo helps companies align their business goals with customer insight. Sean Ellis and Todd Olson founded Pendo in 2011 after they noticed that customers were increasingly using multiple devices when interacting with companies. Even though many businesses already cplected feedback from customers via call centers and email surveys, they often failed to take advantage of user feedback because it was difficult to track and analyze across multiple channels and platforms. In response, Ellis and Olson created Pendo to help businesses turn customer feedback into actionable insights.
Etsy?
Etsy is an e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and supplies, as well as unique factory-manufactured goods. It enables people all over the world to connect through commerce and trade unique goods. Etsy was founded in 2005 by Robert Kalin, Chris Maguire, and Haim Schoppik. All three men had previously worked together at Kalin's New York-based company BlueSky Innovation.[5] Kalin had built Blue Sky into an international company with more than 60 employees and $30 million in annual revenue when he decided to sell it and pursue his interest in craftsmanship and entrepreneurship full time.[6] He started working on his new idea, called Etsy, during the launch of BlueSky's second website, DIYDog.com.[7] At the same time, Haim Schoppik launched his online game company Kiloo,[8] which he founded in 2000.[9] He joined BlueSky shortly thereafter.[10][11] Maguire had developed and launched Web projects for New York City cultural institutions such as the Metroppitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum before joining BlueSky.[12] Both were interested in e-commerce and joined Kalin to develop the concept further.[13]
The founders raised $35,000 from family and friends in their first round of fundraising,[14][15] and within two months, they raised an additional $200,000 from MHS Capital Ventures.[16][17] Their goal was to launch an online alternative to arts and crafts chain stores such as Hobby Lobby Stores[18] and Fabric Warehouse.[19] On August 1, 2005,[20][21] Etsy went live.[22][23] It received its initial round of funding in September 2005 from Union Square Ventures,[24] which invested $1 million in the company.[25][26] The site grew quickly; it attracted 30,000 people within the first four months.[27][28] At that time, the site consisted of approximately 40 items spd by 20 sellers.[29] In November 2005, a total of 60 items were listed for sale on Etsy.[29] There were more than 75 items by early 2006,[30] and 150 items by June 2006.[31][32] In July 2007, Etsy featured its first merchandise sale—a baby blanket offered by a seller named Etsyle.[33] As sales increased, the company began offering a monthly subscription service called Etsy Whpesale in May 2009;[34][35] this enabled artists to sell their works on the site directly to retailers[36][37] while maintaining the same page-view count,[38] search engine exposure,[39][40] and transaction fees as regular listings.[41] In April 2010, the company implemented an instant messaging system for buyers and sellers to communicate,[42] initially using Yahoo! Messenger until Microsoft Skype was later used instead,[43][44][45] which was ultimately abandoned for other services like Slack.[46][47][48][49][50][51][52] In December 2014, Etsy generated US$69 million in revenue,[53] up 34% from the previous year.[54] As of 2017, there are 40 million active users on Etsy who come to the marketplace to buy or sell goods.[55] The average transaction value is currently $83,[56] compared with $212 for Amazon Handmade products[57] and $95 for eBay Handmade products.[58] In April 2017, Etsy laid off 19 employees (3% of its workforce. as part of a restructuring process.[59][60][61][62][63] According to Wired magazine, the layoffs put an end to "years of stagnant growth".[64][65][66][67] In July 2017, Etsy reportedly rejected a takeover offer from rival firm Walmart.[68] The fplowing month it appointed Josh Silverman as its CEO.[69][70] On October 2nd 2018 Etsy announced plans to layoff at least 250 workers as well as freeze salaries for all employees up to senior level executives. [71][72] In December 2018, Etsy announced it would separate into two publicly traded companies — one catering to small sellers and another large sellers — as part of a move that would ease compliance with SEC rules.[73]

Q: Association path between 2 Rails models So I have a few Rails models. Here's a similar example list:

*

*one house belongs to a neighborhood

*one neighborhood belongs to a city

*one city belongs to a state

*one state belongs to a country

*one user belongs to a house

I would like to get a very magic function that I could use as follows:
(resource, scope, scope_ids) => {...}

a successful call would look like:
("house", "country", [30]) => { neighborhood: { city: { state: { country: [30] } } } }
("house", "state", [1,2,3]) => { neighborhood: { city: { state: [1,2,3] } } }

and a failing call would return:
("house", "people", [1,2,3]) => { id: -1 }

I would like to do this auto-magically so anything hardcoded would not be acceptable.
EDIT:
I would like to achieve the above result since I'm developing an authorization layer with CanCanCan that allows to do stuff like:
can :read, House, { neighborhood: { city: { state: { name: "Illinois" }}}}

Considered the above syntax, I would like to auto-magically generate permissions such as (where for example "own_neightborhood" is the neightborhood of the user being authorized and "others_houses" are the houses of the users different from the one being authorized):
# permission read_own_neighborhood_houses should generate:
can :read, House, { neighborhood: { users: {id: user.id } }

# permission read_own_state_cities should generate:
can :read, City, { state: { cities: { houses: { users: {id: user.id } } } } } } }

# permission read_others_neighborhoods_states should generate:
can :read, State, { cities: { neighborhoods: { houses: { users: { id: User.where.not(id: user.id) } } } } }

A: This certainly requires quite a bit of meta-programming. This could be a start using the reflections_on_all_associations method...
Given permission read_own_state_cities
def permission(perms)
  @perms = perms.split('_')  #['read', 'own', 'state', 'cities']
  @model = @perms[-1].singularize.capitalize.constantize   #City
  @action = @perms[0].to_sym   #:read
  @ownership = @perms[1].to_sym   #:own
  @top_level = @perms[2]   #:state

  hash_items = []
  current_level = @top_level
  until current_level = :user do
    hash_items << current_level
    current_level = current_level.reflect_on_all_associations(:has_many).first.name.to_sym
  end   #[:state, :cities, :neighborhoods]

  @hash = hash_items.reverse.inject({users: {}}) { |a, n| { n => a } } #{state: {cities: {neigborhoods: {users: {}}}}}
end

This is as far as I can get easily without having your actual situation to test against. You'll need to address how you decide what goes into the users: {} hash based on the value of @ownership. That should give you most everything you need to end up building a can.... on the fly.

Nick Yaksich, vice president of Global Public Policy of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), has been appointed to chair the policy committee of the Canadian American Business Council (CABC). Yaksich also serves on the CABC board of directors.
The council was established in 1987 as a non-profit issues-oriented organization to provide a private-sector perspective on issues affecting both countries and to promote business relationships between the two nations. CABC numbers more than 100 companies in a wide variety of business sectors.
CABC policy priorities include facilitating legitimate movement of goods, services and people between the two borders; recognizing and promoting the unique trading relationship between the two countries; supporting free and fair trade; and promoting the value of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and North American competitiveness worldwide.
AEM represents manufacturers of construction, agricultural, forestry, mining and utility equipment as well as industry service providers.
The association established a Canadian branch office in January 2004, now located in Ottawa, to more effectively address Canadian legislative, regulatory, trade and other issues affecting member companies and the industry.
AEM also is a sponsor of the Canadian International Farm Equipment Show (CIFES), held annually in Toronto.
"Canada is our industry's largest trading partner, and we share not only a common border but a common industry vision of promoting competitiveness in the global economy so our nations' companies can remain profitable and provide jobs and other benefits to their communities," stated Yaksich.

Holy cow this railscast guy moves fast. However I do find his tutorials quite interesting. I moved through about 7-8 of these last night (http://railscasts.com/) and found some good gems in there (pun intended).
I spent a lot of time last year learning Rails 2.x, and Ruby 1.9.x. Not that I'm becoming a professional rails dev (yet), I'm getting into it, especially because I want to be able to create my own servers and connect to my data source while avoiding Java and php (Scala not included cause I still like it).
I've spent a good amount of time with Rails, and while it is still maturing, using TextMate is awesome for debugging, git is hella better than SVN, and I become less dependent upon other systems/companies if I can roll my own.
Expect to hear more from my blog on other things I discover about the languages (Scala, Python, Ruby) I've been going through over the last 2 years, and their associated frameworks (Play, Django, Rails), as well as my foray into noSQL databases (Mongo). Lots to learn, and lots to understand, but when things work, then I'm happier and more excited to build.


Learning basics of diving into pool... Various dives are taught in the class, including, tip in, spring, and racing dives... Stream line position and coming up swimming basic skills. Furns and other various swim team skills taught in the stroke clinic levels.

This class you will learn various techniques to help your child become more comfortable in the water. Emphasis is having fun while actually learning swimming skills.
After having knowledge from all skills in Beg 2, the children will go over Freestyle and Backstroke stills as well as learning all for swim team strokes... Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly. In Adv levels we will also teach diving, flip turns, and other skills getting child prepared for swimteam.
A beginner level class for the non-swimmer to learn basic swim skills. Using PFD's for body position and ease in learning. Children will work on Basic freestyle (Front Crawl) and Floating on their backs. Children will learn skills to be able to swim 20 ft across the pool on their front and backs. To swim under water and jump and do knee dives. Safety of holding the wall and swimming to the wall are also taught.

Autel EVO 2 drone available April 20
Sean Captain
- Apr. 17th 2020 5:16 pm ET
Even with an economic lockdown, April is turning out to be a good month for drone debuts. In addition to DJI's Mavic Air 2 launch on the 27th, rival Autel is putting its new EVO 2 on sale starting a week earlier, on the 20th, starting at $1,495.
First introduced at CES in January, the Autel EVO 2 stands out for some amazing specs that blow away its most prominent rival, the DJI Mavic 2 series. For instance, the drone provides a whopping 40 minutes of flight time, handily beating the Mavic 2's 31 minutes.
The drone flew smoothly in our initial tests of a preproduction unit in January.
Autel EVO 2 is all about the cameras
The cameras are the real distinguishing features for the EVO 2. It comes in a choice of three configurations. The entry-level model shoots 8K video — yes, eight. A second 8K version adds a thermal imaging camera for operations like search and rescue. (Autel doesn't list a price, but this will be a significant upgrade for enterprise customers.)
While you won't find a lot of 8K monitors to play the video on, that resolution offers the ability to crop in for tight 4K clips or super-zoomed HD footage. They 48-megapixel still images also offer lots of zoom cropping. Furthermore, Autel claims the ability to do 4X digital zoom in camera with no loss of detail.
The third camera choice, for $1,795, offers slightly lower resolution but still beats DJI. It captures 6K video and still images up to 20MP. In exchange for fewer pixels, it promises higher quality and photographic control. A large one-inch sensor enables low-light shots at up to ISO 12,800. An adjustable aperture (f/2.8-f/11) allows fine control of image quality and the ability to shoot in very bright light.
Along with its photography cameras, the Autel EVO 2 also boasts a 12-camera, omnidirectional computer vision system for sense and avoid of obstacles in any direction.
Finally, the controller impresses with its own dedicated LCD screen and a 9 km (5.6 mi) video transmission range.
