Christy Gauss, M.S.W. is the School Mental Health Facilitator for the Indiana School Mental Health Initiative, which is part of the Institute for Disability and Community (IIDC) housed at Indiana University and is the former System of Care (SOC) Coordinator for the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). In both positions she has been grateful for the opportunity to work to ensure that all of Indiana's students are mentally and emotionally healthy so they are both ready to learn and can achieve their full potential. In her current position she aims to provide guidance, resources, and trainings to aid schools and their community partners in providing a continuum-of-care that addresses everything from prevention through crisis intervention in an integrated way that focuses on all social-emotional barriers to student learning. In recognizing that schools cannot do this alone, she also works to create partnerships at the community, regional, and state level. Christy further aims to help pilot a mental health framework, informed by the lens of Educational Neuroscience and the need to create Trauma Sensitive Schools, which connects to the larger community System of Care (SOC). Further, she believes that the mental and emotional needs of Indiana's teachers and school staff must be met first in order to accomplish the above goals and meeting these needs is a critical piece of the work she is doing. Christy has worked with children and families as a preschool teacher, a guardian ad litem for abused and neglected children, at the Division of Mental Health and Addictions, and as a school social worker. Christy earned her B. A. in Political Science from the George Washington University and her M.S.W. from Indiana University.

57% of Americans in a new ABC News/ Washington Post poll sympathize more with Israel, vs. 9% who side more with the Palestinian Authority.
However, 69% want the U.S. largely to leave resolving the conflict to the Israelis and Palestinians themselves.
In addition, 34% say the Obama administration has put too little pressure on the Palestinian Authority rather than too much pressure (8%).
As President Obama prepares to visit Israel, Americans' sympathies lean heavily toward the Israelis over the Palestinians, 64% vs. 12%.
Americans' partiality for Israel has consistently exceeded 60% since 2010; 64% ties the highest figure seen in 1991 during the Gulf War.
Majorities of all political as well as major demographic groups in America say they sympathize more with the Israelis than the Palestinians.
The Counterterrorism Center, which runs the CIA's covert drone killing program in Pakistan and Yemen, recently shifted several targeting officers to improve intelligence collection on militants in Syria who could pose a terrorist threat, U.S. officials said.
U.S. officials believe some al-Qaeda operatives and fighters in Iraq have moved to Syria and joined Islamic militias battling to overthrow President Assad.
The targeting is part of an array of CIA and Pentagon responses and contingency plans. Other proposals include plans to seize or destroy Syria's chemical weapons stockpiles, which are closely monitored by U.S. intelligence.
The Syrian army's logistics chief, Gen. Mohammed Khalluf, has defected, activists said on Saturday in a YouTube video.
Activists said they waited before reporting the defection to ensure that Khalluf and his family had crossed safely into Jordan.
Ahmed Shaheed, UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, announced last week in Geneva "that 110 Bahais are currently detained in Iran for exercising their faith, including two women...that 133 Bahais are currently awaiting summonses to serve their sentences, and that another 268 Bahais are reportedly awaiting trial."
The UN report noted "members of the Bahai community are reported to continue to be systematically deprived of a range of social and economic rights, including access to higher education."
A report issued in March by the Bahai International Community said, "The increase in arrests has been accompanied by a rising tide of violence against Bahais, marked by incidents that include arson attacks, anti-Bahai graffiti, hate speech, the desecration of Bahai cemeteries, and assaults on schoolchildren."
There are an estimated 350,000 Bahais in Iran, a peaceful religious community founded in Iran in 1863.
The Palestinians will seek the unanimous endorsement of the UN Human Rights Council for a report of a fact-finding mission that condemns Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Ibrahim Khraishe, the Palestinian representative to the UN in Geneva, said Saturday. A Palestinian-Arab draft resolution is to be voted on at a council meeting on Monday, he said.
A year ago, Yael Shahak and her 8-year-old daughter were returning from a family gathering to their home in Beit El in the West Bank. Suddenly, the car in front of them slowed down, then stopped in front of her, blocking her way. Yael tried to go in reverse, but the other car also shifted into reverse and drove after her. Then four young men got out of the car and signaled to Yael to open her car door. When she refused, they began smashing the car windows with metal rods. Luckily, another car arrived driven by a Jewish resident. Lookouts warned the men to flee.
Only a few months ago, it was learned that Yael and her daughter had been saved from a kidnapping attempt in which they were to be used as bargaining chips for the release of Palestinian prisoners. The terrorist cell, discovered by the Israel Security Agency, was headed by Muhammad Manzar Muhammad Ramadan of El-Bireh.
There were other attempts at kidnapping. Near Beit Aryeh, the members of the cell tried to entice a Jewish driver out of his car, but he managed to avoid them. An another attempt, an Israeli woman driving along the access road to Maaleh Levonah was blocked by the cell members, who began to smash the windows of her car, but she managed to maneuver and speed away.
Among the landmarks the Israeli government asked President Obama to visit during his trip to Jerusalem this week is the tomb of Theodor Herzl, the chief theoretician of Zionism. Obama agreed - part of a series of carefully considered moves aimed at repairing relations with America's primary Middle East ally. For many Israelis, Herzl's grave represents an ancient Jewish claim, rather than one rooted in the Holocaust, to the slice of land that comprises their modern state.
On his first presidential trip to Israel, Obama will seek to clarify his support for the Jewish state's theory of its historical roots - addressing one of several missteps he is attempting to fix in his second term. The trip is a mission of remedial diplomacy, rather than the kind of specific peace initiative common for previous presidential visits.
One of the reasons Obama is traveling to Israel is to correct the impression, partly created in his 2009 Cairo speech, that he doesn't understand Israel's history, and has no feeling for the underlying justice of its cause. The Cairo speech had a chilling effect because, to Israelis, the Holocaust alone doesn't justify the existence of their state. "The Holocaust doesn't explain why we're here," said Yossi Klein Halevi, a research fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. "The Holocaust explains why we fight as fiercely as we do to stay here, but it doesn't explain our rootedness."
Halevi said Obama failed to acknowledge "Jewish indigenousness in the region," the idea that the uninterrupted Jewish presence in the lands of ancient Israel for more than 3,000 years justifies the modern Jewish claim to a state there.
The UN Human Rights Council will discuss its fact-finding mission's report on Israeli settlements on March 18 in Geneva.
On 31 January 2013 the "International Fact-Finding Mission on Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" published its findings on the implications of Israeli settlements on the human rights of the Palestinian people.
The enabling resolution of the Human Rights Council, the composition of the mission, its mandate, mode of operation, and substantive content are, from the outset, based on a premise that considers Israel's settlement policy to be illegal. This premise dictates the one-sided and prejudiced nature of the mission and its report.
The accepted usage in UN and other international bodies of the term "occupied Palestinian territories" (OPT) is legally flawed and indicative of the inherent bias accompanying this entire exercise. There has never been any determination that the West Bank territories are in fact "Palestinian territories." The use of the expression "OPT" constitutes a politically biased and unjustified prejudgment as to the legal status of the territories, which remain "disputed territories" pending agreement between the parties.
The report is based entirely on material submitted by a small number of Israeli, Palestinian, and international non-governmental organizations known for their anti-Israel agenda, residents of the territories, a left-wing-oriented Israeli newspaper (while ignoring other newspapers that take a different stand), UN bodies, and even the Jordanian foreign ministry.
This one-sided report by the fact-finding mission displays blatant bias, lack of objectivity and unprofessional conduct. The UN Secretary General should reject the report in its entirety.
Amb. (ret.) Alan Baker is former Legal Counsel of Israel's Foreign Ministry and former Israeli Ambassador to Canada.

AVMA Issues Statement on Horse Slaughter with Mexico and Canada
US Vet Organization's Position Unchanged Despite Absence of Domestic Slaughter Plants
Fran Jurga
Horse slaughter opponents will be disappointed to learn that the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has not come any closer to protecting US horses from slaughter. The March 15 edition of the Journal of the AVMA ("JAVMA") contains the text of a joint statement on horse slaughter released by the AVMA with the Canadian and Mexican veterinary associations.
Note: Horse slaughter in the US is currently banned only under a technicality of federal administration funding which currently does not allow USDA inspection of horse meat slaughtered within the United States. No specific law exists to ban horse slaughter outright in the United States. Federal law does not prohibit shipment of horses to Canada or Mexico for slaughter in those countries and shipment to Europe, Asia or South America for human or animal consumption.
The veterinary medical associations of the three largest North American nations issued a joint policy statement that is basically a re-issue of the AVMA's longstanding position. The groups agree that horses deserve humane treatment en route to slaughter; the document also states that "transporting horses destined for slaughter over long distances can negatively impact their health and welfare."
The language could be interpreted as endorsing a return to slaughter in the US: "Use of local slaughter facilities is preferred to avoid welfare risks (e.g., physical and mental stress, injury) associated with long-distance travel." It also pledges a "hands off" no-interference policy across the borders: "Horses should be humanely slaughtered consistent with the requirements of the country in which the horses are being processed."
While the AVMA has been proactive in some other welfare-related horse issues, the organization makes its position policies on an issue-by-issue basis. The slaughter of animals for meat is a primary industry in the United States, employing thousands of veterinarians in inspection and herd management roles.
Endorsing a ban on the slaughter of one species has been a leap the AVMA has never been willing to take, although it has been willing to risk the alienation of some of its members, and the criticism of many animal lovers, to continue to defend that stance.

The event will cost about USD 15 billion to Brazilian taxpayers. Proposal: transfer the World Cup to England. Half of the money saved would be shared among 100,000 winners of a national lottery. Each would receive USD 75,000 and would receive the patriotic mission of cheering for Brazil in Wembley.
The other half of the money would be spent in extravagant stuff, such as health and education.


Vacant lots in Cleveland have become farm land with several urban farms sprouting up in the last few years. Growing everything from grapes to kale, these farms seek to bring healthy fare to food deserts via farm stands, to sell produce to area restaurants, and to offer employment to youth in urban neighborhoods. While the trend looks like it's here to stay, its growing pains include low wages and profit, soil quality issues and more.

How Copyleft Different from Copyright?
Let's talk about the difference between copyright and copyleft (uncopyrighted). The "left" in "copyleft" is not a reference to the verb "to leave"—only to the direction which is the mirror image of "right". Copyleft and Copyright Both terms are used to protect the intellectual property(IP) rights. Both have some rules, rights are regulations to use and follow.
Copyright is a legal means of protecting an author's work. It is a type of intellectual property that provides exclusive publication, distribution, and usage rights for the author for a certain time of period (about 25 years).
Copyleft:
Copyleft is a general method where scriptwriter put his script in the public domain for others to use free of cost. Then, the public can make suggestions or rewrite the script free as well.
The simplest way to make a program copyleft is just put it in the public domain, uncopyrighted. This allows the public to share the script or program and their improvements if they are so minded.
Challenges of copyleft:
Peoples can convert the program into proprietary software. They can make changes, modification, upgradations even more many or few, and distribute the result as a proprietary product. People who receive the program in that modified form do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the middleman has stripped it away.
It is the same as "People Utilizing natural resource and Distributing them to the public for profit gain"
Copyleft in One Sentance:
Copyleft says that anyone who redistributes the software, with or without changes, must pass along the freedom to further copy and change it. Copyleft guarantees that every user has freedom.wau…
Copyleft Benefit for programmers:
Copyleft helps any scriptwriters(can say programmer) to contribute to program/scripts without any charges. programmers who want to contribute improvements to free software get permission to do so. These programmers often work for companies or universities that would do almost anything to get more money. A programmer may want to contribute her changes to the community, but her employer may want to turn the changes into a proprietary software product. Copyleft has reserved rights for it it is illegal. One of the sharing platform Github is best exapmle of it.
How to copyleft a program:
To copyleft a program, we first state that it is copyrighted; then we add distribution terms, which are a legal instrument that gives everyone the rights to use, modify, and redistribute the program's code, or any program derived from it, but only if the distribution terms are unchanged. Thus, the code and the freedoms become legally inseparable.
Why use copyleft:
Copyleft is a way of using the copyright on the program. It doesn't mean abandoning the copyright; in fact, doing so would make copyleft impossible. As said above, The "left" in "copyleft" is not a reference to the verb "to leave"—only to the direction which is the mirror image of "right".
Copyleft is a general concept, to spread the work without allowing any hard restrictions on it.

Mayfield Lavender Farm is located in Banstead in the county of Surrey, a short drive (less than 20 miles) from London and well connected by public transport. The easiest way to get to the site without driving is by travelling from Central London (Victoria Station) to West Croydon train station and board the 166 bus which stops a few yards from the entrance to the lavender field (the bus stop is called Oaks Park).
A small fee is charged to access the site (£1 per person) to help with the costs of maintaining the farm; for commercial or professional photography permission needs to be obtained in advance, a fee will be required to be issued with a registration card to be presented at the entrance; drone are strictly prohibited .
The lavender field cover an area of 25 acres (10 hectares) and it looks spectacular especially on a sunny day; row after row of purple lavender stretch as far as the eye can see with the colour changing according to the light; dotted around the site there are a few props to help take beautiful pictures including a customized red phone box and spaces to rest and enjoy the view.
Picnics are no longer allowed at the site but food and drinks can be purchased either at the cafe' at the entrance or, from a steel caravan in the field with seats arranged under a large tree. Walking along the paths between the lavender rows not surprisingly there are a lot of bees, something to bear in mind if you are scared of them; if you are not, they are good for macro photography.
And photographers will have a great time at Mayfield Lavender Farm, not only the site is extremely photogenic but people walking around the field add to the photo opportunities with heads popping out of the lavender plants, people dressed for the occasion and people who came prepared with props (umbrellas seem to be very popular!).
As the site is quite extensive and people might not want to walk around for long, a tractor-drawn cart is available for a fee (£2 per person) to take visitors around the perimeter of the field. Next to the cafe' at the entrance to the site there is a shop selling all things lavender: lavender oil, candles, biscuits, jam and much more.
As the site is only open when the lavender blooms (from late June to August), a shop selling Mayfield Lavender Farm products is open all year round (Tuesdays to Saturdays) at their other site near Epsom: the Mayfield Lavender Nursery and Shop. A visit to Mayfield Lavender Farm will probably take a couple of hours and can be enjoyed by the all family with selfies opportunities galore and picture-perfect photographic memories. And remember, whatever you do…DON'T JUMP over the lavender!
One question…. Did it smell amazing there? Lavender is by far my favorite scent, I always imagine these fields smelling heavenly!
I think it did…but I was too busy taking pictures to notice!
That's a lot of great pics. I appreciate the details, especially how easy it can be to get there without driving (a common issue for budget travelers). The phone booth (box?) is wicked. I wonder how the fields look during different times of the day.
Mayfield looks like an interesting place to visit! I really loved the pictures.


When this first came out, I thought it was a typical gladiator/sandal retelling. Boy was I wrong. It does for the Roman empire what Deadwood did for the last vestiges of the West. Gritty and even sometimes funny, I think I'll get into this one.
I've been meaning to see this for a long time. So far, everything I expected, but that is a good thing, since my expectations were so high.
U.K. romantic comedy. Bill Nighy & Kelly Macdonald star as a mismatched couple. Anything Nighy does is amazing. Just seeing him walk fills me with glee for some reason.
Pierce Brosnan's least typical role, and one of his best.
Action movie and Bruce Willis, the two go together like chocolate and peanut butter.
Yeah, I don't know what I did before I signed up. Actually, I do, and that's perpetually get charged late fees.
So true. In fact, we had KING KONG sitting at home here for WEEKS (I'd seen it in the theater but Honna hadn't seen it), because we couldn't carve out the 3 hours needed to watch it during that time. Today we just pulled it out of the DVD player, and we watched it a week ago! OOps.

Jacobs comes with solution for USM, offers financial injection
PHILIPSBURG–In an effort to keep the doors of University of St. Martin (USM) open, Minister of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports Affairs Silveria Jacobs has submitted a proposal to USM that includes granting the institution an incidental subsidy amounting to NAf. 690,000-920,000.
The financial injection would be over a three- to four-month period. Jacobs said in a press statement on Thursday evening that the Council of Ministers had given the green light on Tuesday for her to meet with USM to propose a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to grant the incidental subsidy. The move is to avoid closure of the institution and to prepare for its continuity in a transparent, accountable, efficient and effective manner.
Jacobs and the Ministry's Secretary-General Jorien Wuite, Department of Education head Sidonia Lacorbiniére-Hodge and Inspection Division head Dorothee Illis-Laurence met with the USM board and management on Wednesday to present the proposal and get USM's feedback/agreement.
Jacobs said she initially sent a request to the board on Friday, November 24, to meet as soon as possible to find a viable solution, as the deadline was approaching quickly. She had proposed to meet on Monday November 27, at 8:30am. While the board confirmed receipt of the invitation, no confirmation of attendance was given.
"After calls were made to ascertain the status of the meeting, the USMF [USM Board – Ed.] issued a letter to the Minister restating that the board had decided that USM would close as of November 30, 2017, citing six options for closure," it was stated in the release.
"Considering the importance of USM and the urgency of its survival to the community of St. Maarten, Minister Jacobs, presented the latest information and proposed to the Council of Ministers on Tuesday to allow an emergency financial injection with conditions for cooperation, collaboration and accountability.
"The Council of Ministers granted approval in principle and the USM Board was invited to the meeting which they attended on Wednesday. An MOU was prepared and presented to representatives of the USM board present: President Valerie Giterson-Pantophlet, board member Marcellia Henry and Financial Manager Robert Judd.
"According to the MOU, the Ministry would issue an immediate injection of NAf. 230,000 to jumpstart the semester for all students as soon as possible; will grant two more monthly instalments of NAf. 230,000 with possibility of granting one extra month during the semester if advised and concluded by the Government accountant bureau SOAB reports and USM will cooperate with SOAB to carry out its investigation to validate the pending (2013-2016) financial statements as well as provide recommendations to the board and Ministry aimed at effective and efficient management of USM board.
"Also included in the MOU is that the USM board will provide all necessary pending documents required to substantiate requested increase in subsidy for 2018 so that the Department can submit the advice as soon as possible to be able to secure the approval of the necessary funding for the continuity of USM and that the Ministry will prioritise the finalisation of the Ordinance for Higher Education."
Jacobs said in the release that clarity was sought on some points related to the USM board's financial management by Judd and was given.
"However, Mrs. Giterson-Pantophlet informed Minister Jacobs that she could not even agree in principle with the proposal, which would allow USM to keep its staff and meet the needs of the community, without consulting and getting the approval of the USMF board. The president of the USMF Board further stated that the earliest the board can meet is on Sunday, December 3, thereby rendering a decision after the date proposed for the closure of USM, which remains today November 30," Jacobs said.
"However, to date [Thursday November 30 – Ed.], no feedback on the MOU has been received from the Board, which begs the question as to how urgent USM finds this matter which leaves the future of the students and staff hanging in the balance.
"Though the University may consider this a last-minute offer, Government of St. Maarten has made every effort to get the necessary information from USM board to be able to financially assist in a lawfully-recognised manner.
"As such the offer now on the table, which has the approval of Council of Ministers, is in no way the standard operational procedure when dealing with the taxpayers' money. However, because of the imminent urgency of the situation, it includes the necessary checks and balances that would force USM board to live up to the agreement in order to secure the subsequent instalments."
Jacobs reiterated to USM board representatives that Government is committed to help to safeguard the students, teachers and staff of USM with the proposed solution and is hopeful the board will seriously consider this proposal as a viable option, instead of filing for a moratorium on payments.

At the front of the house, a patio area with bench and table overlooks the colourful fisherman's cottages of Brixham harbour and the sea beyond. This is a stunning spot for enjoying a glass of wine while watching the boats.
Please note: Set in an elevated position with some steep steps, this property would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues, however, cheap local taxies are plentiful and can drop you outside.
Parking - Smugglers is located in a narrow road, however, free parking is sometimes available in a public space opposite the property. There is also free on street parking in the roads surrounding the property. Torbay council no longer issue physical parking permits. If you wish, you can order a virtual permit online at a cost of approx. £35 per week. These permits are valid for all of the 32 council pay and display car parks in the wider Torbay area including the 4 in Brixham – very useful if you plan to travel around the area. Full details and a web link will be sent with your arrival information approx. 6 weeks before your holiday begins.
Short breaks of 2 nights or more with variable start days available most of the year except peak summer weeks and Whitsun bank holiday week.
Smugglers has great views across Brixham harbour and is literally a few steps (well about 100 steps, straight down) from the centre of town. We were there over New Year and arrived to find the open fire all fully prepared for us to light it up and sit back to enjoy the cosy flames. The house was nice and warm, the beds were comfy, and WiFi and all the appliances worked without a problem. All in all, a very nice house in a brilliant position.
We have had an excellent stay location perfect for afternoon and evening sun lots of good local restaurants,would recommend taking taking the boat trip to Dartmouth staff and captain very amusing and some very good walks,one word of warning the steps are a bit steep but they wear of the excess food and the odd drink!!
Perched above Brixham's pretty inner harbour, its a 5 minute downhill walk to the centre with its many shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. The nearest train station is Paignton - a 15 minute drive away. Local buses and trains connect with Paignton, Torquay, Newton Abbott, Totnes, Plymouth & Exeter.

It's 6:14 AM. This is typically the only time I get to spend on here, although sometimes I might get a few minutes at night. I'm pretty heavily firewalled at work, and way too busy to spend any time writing. Maybe if there was a way to do voice-to-text in the car, I'd have more time. But I imagine most of that translation would be scattered, and mostly "um, um, uh…".
Had a weird dream last night, the typical "it's halfway through the semester and I haven't gone to any classes and suddenly need to learn everything before midterms." A lot of people have this dream, but this happened pretty regularly for me, so it's a little more grounded in reality. This time around, I remember one of the classes was an intro to astronomy class, and I didn't have any of the books. I had one study hall to learn the name and position of every major star and constellation. The alarm went off before the test.
I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and audio books lately. My grand scheme earlier this year was to start a music web site and spend two hours a day listening to demos and reviewing them. I had a lot of trouble getting momentum, though. It's all but dead since the car wreck and house buying madness in about April or so. I also found I was getting almost zero music to review, and was spending too much of my own money on iTunes, trying to track down albums.
It's somewhat hypnotic to be awake at this hour and hear the I-880 traffic in the distance, punctuated by the rumble of an occasional train. Our view is of the port, and there's a train line that's usually populated with Union Pacific freight cars, and the occasional Amtrak coach. You can only see a small subset of the port, though. I've driven over there, and there's an insane amount of cargo containers, almost all of them from China, probably filled with junk going to Wal-Mart. The area just up from our place used to be the 16th street station, the terminus of the UP railroad. There's a giant grand station sitting there abandoned, unsafe since the 1989 earthquake, and surrounded by chain-link and barbed wire. There's a long-range plan to convert it into some kind of restored mixed-use retail space, but it's going to take years of paperwork and zoning to get it anywhere near initiation. And given the economy, nobody's rushing to get that started. But I'm hoping in five or ten years, they get something in there.
I have to get a cat into a carrier and off to the vet soon. Into the carrier is always the fun part.

Rockies @ A's
I got a late start this year, but finally got to my first baseball game of the season. Last night, we made the trek down the East Bay to the Coliseum to see the Rockies play the A's. So here's my usual bulleted list recap of the game:
This is the first game I've been to in Oakland since we moved to the bay area, and my second time visiting the coliseum. (I went last year for an A's-Phillies game.)
I got tickets in the 116 section, which is the first section just to the right of home plate. There was a small section of suite boxes between us and the field, and we were slightly up, but otherwise we were extremely close.
We drove, which was no sweat – just a couple of miles down the 880 from our new place. Parking was $15 and no difficulty. The parking lot is set up for football games with three times the attendance, so there was no problem getting a spot.
Against better judgment, I wore a Rockies jersey, and was waiting for the sea of tailgaters to beat the shit out of me like it was a post-Iranian election riot. But amazingly enough, nobody gave me shit at all for it.
The promotional night was Beer Fest – one of the clubs was open with like 30 different microbreweries, and for $10 you got a free mug and three "tastes" of beer. (Given that a regular beer costs $8, I would guess a "taste" would be like a shot-glass.) All of this started at 4:00, and the game started at 6:00. We didn't go to the beer fest, given that neither of us drink. See also the thing about getting beaten to a pulp by a drunken Oakland fan.
We got there a bit after 4:00 and headed right for our section, to watch batting practice. When we got there, Oakland was batting, but most of the Rockies were sitting in front of the dugout, and doing stretches with those big rubber band resistance things. Our section was pretty damn close to where they were exercising, although not as close as it would be at AT&T park in San Francisco.
The tunnel ran right under our section, so if you were standing at the front of it (our seats were 17 rows back), you could watch players go in and out of the clubhouse. Unfortunately, that meant that all of the pro autograph seekers were hogging this space, and they piss me off. It's impossible to talk to a player before a game, because you're going to get shut down with a pushy guy holding a binder of crap that's all going straight to eBay. But I did at least get to see pretty much every player up close, and I got some good pictures.
During BP, Troy Tulowitzki came up and talked to a bunch of the people at the rail. He's a lot taller than he looks on the field, and his voice is a lot deeper than I'd expected. Also, he has one of those stupid lines-shaved-in Brian Bosworth haircuts right now, which is hilarious.
The Rockies played their own music during BP, including their unofficial theme song, "Streetcar Symphony" by Rob Thomas. That one song instantly brings me back to every game I saw at Coors Field in 2007, which I absolutely love.
The Rockies are on a pretty decent run right now, enough that even SportsCenter (ala "The Red Sox/Yankees and occasionaly maybe another team News Hour") is even giving them a split-second of coverage. (Although Sabermetrics genius John Kruk said something to the effect of "Well, winning 17 out of 20 games doesn't really say anything.") The A's are currently last in their division, and with the trade deadline looming, they'll probably start parting out their entire team in short order. I'm glad we got to see them play before the deadline, because in August and beyond, it's going to be nothing but Jason Giambi and a bunch of fourth-string freshman prospects.
There aren't many people going to A's games. We watched Friday's game on TV, and large sections of the stadium were empty. When we sat down before the game, there was virtually nobody in our section. Then a guy came up and had the seat right next to me, and it turned out he was from Colorado and a Rockies fan, so it was good to see him there. He was in the Air Force, and worked tracking space junk on radar. We ended up talking quite a bit during the game, and he was pretty up on his stats, so it was good to have an unofficial scorer for the game.
I had my iPhone and the new MLB At Bat app, which lets you listen to the away team's radio broadcast, but I spent the whole game talking to the guy next to me, so I didn't listen. I did use it to check a few scoring details during the game though, which was handy.
The game got broken open early, with a Rockies home run in each of the first four innings. I had worries that De La Rosa's pitching would be all over and give them A's a chance to catch up, but by the 6th inning, it was 11-2. Also, every Rockies player ended up getting a hit by the end of the night.
Because the game started off fast, I did not go explore for any food. Sarah went back and got me a bratwurst, which was pretty decent. (Of course, it's not as good when you don't get to see them run in a footrace first.)
This was the second game where Matt Holliday, the former Rockies MVP, was playing against them for Oakland. He's not doing a stellar job with the A's, and probably won't remain there long. The play that got the biggest number of boos was when he tried to get home from third with two outs on, and got thrown out at the plate by Carlos Gonzalez (who was one of the A's traded to Colorado for Holliday.)
After De La Rosa left the game in the 6th, it looked like they would lightly graze the bullpen and not use a closer. But three bullpen pitchers ended up blowing it, and by the 9th, the score was 11-8.
After the 7th inning stretch, the strangest thing happened – this plague of little bugs descended on the stadium, all over the stands. They were these little gnat-like fly things, and they were EVERYWHERE. I looked up, and everyone in the lower deck was madly swatting away at these bugs. I had just bought a diet coke a minute before, and of course it had no lid, so it quickly became a $5.50 soup of bugs.
Said plague came while they were playing a Michael Jackson song. The guy in front of us was joking that the TV announcer was probably looking at everyone swatting away bugs and said "look, everyone is dancing to Thriller as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson!"
Huston Street came in once it became a save situation and quickly shut down the 9th. But it never should have been that close of a situation.
The announced attendance was 18,624, but about half of that left before the 7th inning stretch, and many more left during the 8th inning plague of locusts. We had no problem at all getting out of the parking lot and going home. The only big issue was that I felt like little bugs were crawling all over me when I got home, and had to take some Benadryl to get to sleep. In fact, I still feel like bugs are crawling on me.
And that's the game. We just booked a trip to Denver for a long weekend in August, and we have tickets for two of the Rockies-Cubs games, which should be a lot of fun. I will eventually get around to posting some of the photos, although I am currently in a quandry about where to put photos these days, because rumored.com is bouncing against its quota, and my accounts on dreamhost, despite having no quota, are not that speedy.

Back for the attack
I'm back. I've decided to try and get back on the horse again, as far as running this journal. I don't know if I will have the time, but I need to write, and Facebook just isn't cutting it as far as getting my thoughts down. I am still busy with work (which I will, as previously, attempt to not talk about here, and keep a tight line between it and not-work life) but I have some time every morning that maybe I should use to update this, instead of obsessively searching for what idiotic blather John "I'm a competitive eater and don't know it" Kruk has said about baseball the day before.
So now I feel like I need to post about eight months of catch-up. A lot's been going on, so I will just hit the highlights as I eat a frozen burrito lunch, and maybe I will go into detail in the days/weeks/years to come.
The biggest thing is that we bought a house, and I've moved to West Oakland. I now live here. We bought a 1 bed/1.5 bath signature loft, which is a thousand square feet, but feels much bigger, because it's an open-plan loft, very white, very high ceiling, and a lot of open space. We also have a full wall of windows facing west, and a skylight, which makes things look extremely bright. It's a loft conversion of an old warehouse, and we purchased it as new construction, so we got to pick the floors, and nobody has lived here before. We're sort of hedging our bets by moving in to a pre-gentrified neighborhood that's basically a whole lot of nothing right now. But Emeryville is very gentrified and is just north of us, and it's slowly creeping south. We currently have to drive to Emeryville or downtown Oakland for basic services, but I imagine by the time we finish paying PMI payments, there will be a Trader Joe's within a mile of here.
Here are some pre-purchase photos without the floors or other finishing touches installed. And here are some exterior photos of our place, and the neighboring construction site and other stuff. No interior shots yet until we get the place figured out and fully unpacked, which might be around 2012. (We moved in May 2, BTW.) [Photo link gone, sorry…]
I all but totalled the Yaris in April. I was driving in stop-and-go traffic and looked in my rear-view for a split second, and then went from about 40 to 0 into the back of an SUV. I was fine, no airbag deployment, but I did not hurt anything. The car had about $10K of damage, and I was certain the insurance would total it, but they paid to fix it. It spent a month in the body shop, and all of this happened right before we moved – I got it back I think a day or two before we moved in. I got it back with a defective windshield, which looked all wavy and made me think I had some optamological issue, but the shop quickly replaced it. I'm getting the occasional check engine light (something with the evaporative emissions, probably a loose wire) but it's otherwise fine. It's actually averaging 2-3 MPG better than before, but that might be my new I-880 commute versus the 101.
One of our cats (squeak, the little one) got a compound fracture of her leg. I woke up one morning and there was blood everywhere and she was huddled under the couch with a bone sticking out of her leg. She had emergency surgery that cost way too much, and has been in a cast since this happened (the week after the car.) We've had to keep her in a little tenty-playpen thing to keep her from running around, which is not the easiest thing to do with a two-year-old cat. Her cast comes off tomorrow, and she has been doing much better. She can even deal with the stairs on three legs now, which is imporessive.
My weight loss has stabilized at about 170 now, and has remained +/-5 pounds of that since October. I don't religiously follow WW anymore or count points, but I pretty much know what I can and cannot do as far as food intake is concerned. I have fears that I will fall off the deep end, but then I get back on track and cut the crap food, and all is fine. Honestly, just keeping on diet soda and avoiding fast food keeps it all pretty much in check.
I've struggled with writing. I don't have the time to do it anymore, and I totally ignore the whole publishing world/blog thing, and do not network whatsoever. I've been knocking around two book projects. One is a book a lot like Summer Rain, but about high school. That's hard to do because I don't want to make it about my life, but I think the only people who would be interested in reading it would be all up in my shit about the factual accuracy or whatever, and I don't want to spend the next ten years researching when certain Helloween albums were released in the US or whatever. The other is a book like Rumored, but slightly more plot-oriented. That's hard just because I really have to be in the zone to write that stuff, and I never am.
I'll have to post at a later date with a roundup of various media consumption, including books, movies, and podcasts…

Leatherhead proposes microencapsulated probiotics research
By Jess Halliday
22-Jan-2007 - Last updated on 19-Jul-2008 at 11:39 GMT
Related tags: Probiotics, Gut flora, Probiotic
Leatherhead is proposing a collaborative industry study to assess
microencapsulation systems for preserving probiotic bacteria and
boosting their effectiveness in the gut, a keen area of interest
for companies looking to lead the curve towards next generation
Probiotics have captured the imagination of consumers in recent years, thanks in part to advertising campaigns animating them as the 'friendly bacteria' that form part of the gut's natural flora.
While probiotics have been linked by researchers to several health benefits, such as immune health, digestion, and allergy alleviation, there have been some concerns about whether some products on the market actually contain sufficient quantities of live bacteria to do any good by the time they reach consumers' guts.
The reason is that probiotics are remarkably sensitive little creatures, which struggle to survive the rigours of processing, transport and storage, and the perilous journey through the gastrointestinal tract to the gut.
But microencapsulation methods under development may protect the bacteria through these trials to ensure they arrive alive where they required.
Moreover, they let companies consider other product types beyond traditional dairy carriers, which have a short, chilled shelf-life, like biscuits, cereals and chocolate.
In collaboration with the University of Reading, Leatherhead is giving industry players to opportunity to come in on a collaborative research effort that could provide them with the know how to differentiate their products in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
Food products typically claim to contain probiotics if they have 10 to-the-power-of-nine colony-forming units per serving.
Last January consumer watchdog Which? questioned the efficacy of many probiotic products after its sister publication Drug and Therapies Bulletin conducted an investigation of 12 products in the UK market and found that none gave the level of bacteria it contained.
It also said that the level of research on the purported benefits was "patchy", and found that eight of the 12 products had contained more than 10g of sugar per 100g.
Some companies have been working hard at ways to protect the bacteria - innovation that goes hand-in-hand with new product development.
For instance Lallemand, under its Lal'Food division, has developed a way to use coated probiotics in chocolate, which could be used as a filling in biscuits, nutrition bars, or chocolate drops for addition to breakfast cereals.
Crucially, the bacteria need to be added after cooking as they do not survive heat. Moreover, the chocolate vector is said to be ideal since chocolate processing does not require much processing.
DSM Food Specialities recently launched a chocolate bar called Attune containing its Lafti probiotic brand in the US, said to contain five times the amount of probiotics as yoghurt.
Korean company Cell Biotech announced at the end of last year that it is establishing operations in Denmark to expand use of its dual-coated probiotics in Europe market - particularly in new, non-dairy food categories.
And just last week, research from Greece published in LWT- Food Science and Technology indicated that apple pieces are promising carriers for probiotic bacteria.
Leatherhead's four-stage project will focus on survivability of probiotics. The first stage will use standard microbiological enumeration techniques to assess viability of commercially available products during claimed shelf lives.
The researchers will then simulate gastric contents and bile acids, to assess probiotic viability ion the gastrointestinal system; those that survive will be assessed for their effectiveness on gut microflora using gut model systems.
Finally, food samples will be prepared using the probiotics. The effectiveness of these products on the gut will be investigated, as well as their impact on the foods' texture and quality.
Leatherhead is accepting expressions of interest in its project until February 19. For more information contact Dr Evangelia Komitopouou

David Banner & 9th Wonder Announce Release Date for Joint Album
Death Of A Pop Star To Be Released on November 9th via Banner's Own Big Face Entertainment
After months of talking about their much buzzed-about concept album, Grammy winners David Banner and 9th Wonder are excited to announce a release date of November 9th for Death Of A Pop Star. The album will be released through Banner's own Big Face Entertainment. The seemingly unlikely partnership grew legs when the two Southern boys discovered they shared a lot in common, including misconceptions due to their fame about how they hold the power to resurrect hip-hop music. "There's a lot of pressure because people think we have all the money and the answers," explained Banner in a recent interview with AllHipHop.com.
Formerly intended as a mixtape, the project developed into a full-length album as Banner and 9th realized the significance of Death Of A Pop Star. "David Banner and I both share the same views on topics such as manhood, being black in America in present day, and the state of black music in general," says 9th of the collaboration. In a recent HipHopOfficial.com interview Banner says that most people think the album title refers to the death of being a pop star but he insists they chose the title so they could not only talk about the album but also the death of contemporary music. 9th Wonder further articulated, "We're talking about the death of contemporary black music."
Following the release of the first song "Slow Down" the album's next single will feature fellow Southerner, Ludacris, on a song entitled, "Be With You." Other guest spots on the project include Heather Victoria and Big Remo.
Death Of A Pop Star drops November 9th, 2010.

PERFORMANCE WORK
About my performance work
In my performances I'm working more or less exclusively on the basis of the Open Improvisation with dance, dance theatre and voice. That means, that there is nothing fixed - no structure or theme - except the length of the performance, the location and the persons involved. Nevertheless the goal is to create a composition in collaboration with all the other partners (dancers, musicians, light designers) out of the very moment - as peculiar, complex and diverse as it's only possible with an improvised approach.
The preparation for such a performance is aiming to create connections between the artists involved and to differentiate the improvisation language for this constellation and these circumstances. And generally also to work on the capacity of being present, to trust your own intuition and improving the ability to act spontaneously as well as to build and understand the instant composition. Things happening by accident - as called synchronicities - are a main part of this work besides the interacting of being radical and cooperative and finding the balance between doing and listening.
The most important thing for me while performing is to create space for the magic, the unexpected, the communication, authenticity, tenderness and wildness. Things happening in the performance should be connected to our very concrete reality and at the same time go beyond the individuality and our collective mind into something much more ephemeral and according to a superior order.
A big challenge in working with open improvisation is to find theatres where you can show your work and where there is an openness to perceive improvisation as something still relevant. On the background of today's contemporary dance (based a lot on conceptuality and multimedia and where there is often a lack of dance in it) open improvisation may be considered by many as an anachronistic art form. But there is still this huge joy and desire in me to see and to experience the moving body and I'm working hard to keep improvisation as an art work that can touch the audience on a deeper level. And that goes fare beyond the normal use of improvisation to find new material for a set piece or this quite well known state of any-thing-goes.
My partners for cooperation are coming from Switzerland and from al over Europe. There is a very fascinating and vivid network of improvisers connecting all the continents offering support and many opportunities to create art work on a improvised base.
The full list with my former performances you can find here.

Why NVIDIA GeForce Now May Preview Cloud Desktop Future
By: Rob Enderle | August 19, 2020
eWEEK CLOUD PERSPECTIVE: GeForce Now is a production cloud gaming platform that performs as a showcase for what NVIDIA's technology can do when properly implemented and configured in a cloud solution. It may be running cloud desktop PCs in the near future.
We are on the fast track, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, for more cloud-based PC solutions. IT shops are experiencing huge problems supporting remote workers, already underfunded schools are in crisis mode for the same reason with teachers complaining they aren't tech support, and users are anything but happy in both groups.
The obvious solution is to move to some virtual desktop solution, but thin clients are generally thought to be underperforming and annoying to use. But a lot of things have changed over the last couple of decades concerning network performance, and if you can convince users that they can live on the cloud, you also remove one of the most significant impediments to making that jump.
This dynamic is why NVIDIA's GeForce Now Cloud-Gaming Service moving to Chromebooks could be a game-changer.
Let's explore that this week.
GeForce Now is a production cloud gaming platform that performs as a showcase for what NVIDIA's technology can do when properly implemented and configured in a cloud solution. It is as much a demonstration at scale of NVIDIA's capability in the cloud as it is a gaming service. Carrying games that typically would require high-end desktop equipment, this service potentially not only expands to audiences for the games it carries but the capabilities of the systems that use it ranging from tables to set-top boxes. Finally, it is a performance showcase for not only what the cloud is capable of, but what your local network can handle. There are still significant regional issues concerning bandwidth and latency in some areas, and this service can both showcase the incredible capability some regions have and the lack of that capability that still exists in other parts of the world.
For instance, if you were considering a virtual Windows deployment, GeForce Now could be an interesting way for your users to test whether it would be viable where they live.
The problem with Chromebooks
Chromebooks have been successful in education, which formed a beachhead for the product and allowed it to make some inroads into business. But they are generally thought of as tools for light work, such as writing, email and browsing the web, while inadequate for anything that requires real performance. Now while the first ARM-based products were performance dogs, the current Intel-based offerings have performance in line with their Windows counterparts.
The volume that these products enjoy is still relatively small, and while everyone accepts that users often want to play games on their device, game support has primarily relied on games that tend to play better on smartphones.
So the very thing that makes the Chromebook attractive to IT, its limits on running user-focused entertainment apps, makes the product far less attractive to users, and users often got the deciding vote.
GeForce now potentially addresses both problems. From the perspective of users concerned that a Chromebook doesn't have enough performance being able to play AAA games on the Chromebook, using GeForce now illustrates a different path and provides them with a gaming machine level of performance. This performance benefit not only expands the utility of the Chromebook, but it also sets the stage for future cloud-based productivity solutions that are also becoming far more mature.
You need to build a large enough group of advocates to make any change, and this growing comfort with high performance, albeit entertainment-focused solution, should create a pool of advocates for cloud desktop computing that will help drive that future change. GeForce Now also provides the entertainment content that users want and need on their portable device without compromising the device's security. IT, both in companies and schools, isn't adversely impacted, the Chromebook isn't compromised, and the user remains a non-problem while still gaining safe access to the high-performance content they want.
Wrapping Up: An early taste of our future
GeForce Now, on a Chromebook, provides an early taste for what our eventual future is likely to become. Chromebooks tend to be low performers with advantages in terms of lower complexity, higher IT control and a more appliance-like experience. These advantages do lend themselves well to schools and education, but they work against user needs. To offset that is the cloud that people don't yet trust as users even though they increasingly live off cloud services.
GeForce Now is one of the services that plows the field in anticipation of our future cloud desktop harvest. It is a critical stepping stone to our cloud desktop future while also allowing players to avoid some of the recent drama between platform stores and game providers.
In short, GeForce Now on Chromebooks plays a far more significant role in our transition to the business desktop future than most realize.

I worked on a short contract to build a tool for students manager their offers to university. The tool integrated with an enterprise student information system using SOAP. We hosted the state-less Symfony application on Azure using a CI/CD pipeline to allow the application to scale. The application makes use of VueJS and a number of other libraries to provide an application on a page style experience. The application also made use of Redis for a short term caching layer, which gave the application a significant performance boost.

Theo van den Broek on the letter sent to UN by Federal Repblic of West Papua
March 26, 2012 News alert, Opinion, syndicationDutch, Federal Republic, FEDERAL REPUBLIC WEST PAPUA, human rights, indonesia, Papua, Papuan people, united nationswestpapuamedia
JUBI 23 March 2012Theo van den Broek, a political commentator about Papua, has said that the United Nations will only respond to letters that come from one of its members whereas all its members are nation-states.
Referring to the decision to register the Federal Republic of West Papua with the United Nations by representatives of the IIIrd KRP (held last October), Theo said that it was necessary to know whether a letter had indeed been sent to the UN and what would happen to it.
'I understand that they sent a letter but that does not mean that the letter will now be handled by the UN or put onto its agenda. All that will happen will be that the letter was indeed sent but it was passed on to the administration and recorded as a letter that had been received. The letter will be given a number and recorded as a letter that had been received. And that will be it,' he said.
He said that it would be handled automatically by the administration. He gave an example of what would happen to a letter that he might send to the Dutch government asking to be registered as a Dutch person or perhaps relating to the payment of taxes. It would be registered as a letter coming from a Dutch citizen and an acknowledgement would be received but it would not actually be dealt with because the letter raised problematic matters.
As for the letter from the Federal Republic, it will be recorded somewhere but as it comes from a body that is not recognised by the UN, it will probably never be acknowledged because it does not come from one of its members, given that all its members are nation-states, said Theo. 'Anyone can send a letter to the UN but if it comes from a body that is not a member of the UN, it is not possible to expect that it will be taken seriously.'

Military commander denies current military operations in Papua and rejects legitimacy of the IIIrd KRP
March 26, 2012 News alert, syndicationFree Papua Movement, indonesia, Indonesian Army, Jayapura, Papua, Papuan, Papuan people, Tingginambutwestpapuamedia
JUBI, 23 March 2012The commander of the district military command in Jayapura denied that any military operations are taking place in Papua. Lieut-Colonel Rano Tilaar was speaking to journalists after taking part in a Joint Forum of the SKPD (?) and the start of a Consultation on Development in Jayapura.
'There are no military operations under way in Papua, but only Security Operations Along the Border. We have to realise that although the situation in general is calm and orderly, there are conflicts going on, vertical conflicts as well as a horizontal conflicts,' he said.
The vertical conflict is related to various problems between the government and those wanting independence – or separatism – while horizontal conflicts are those that occur between groups within the community where there are differences between the native population and the newcomers.
'We need to be conscious of what is meant by nation and state. What is the meaning of the legacy inherited from our ancestors and the natural resources which offer great potential if they are not exploited jointly in the interests of the nation and the state.'
According to Rano, in the present political situation in Papua, the TNI – Indonesian Army – regards the group which pursues the ideology of M – merdeka – as our brothers. The difference between us, he said, is they have not yet accepted the ideology of NKRI – the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
When asked his opinion about the the Third Papuan Peace Congress [held last October], he said that this meeting was not representative of the Papuan people because according to information he has received from local customary leaders and religious leaders, there was no legitimacy for the creation of a state and the appointment of the president and the prime minister of that state, because others felt that they had not been consulted and they were not willing to legitimise the congress as being representative of the Papuan people.
'It only represented a group of people and it was correct to apply the charge of makar – treason – from the point of view of the law because that was a treasonous act.'
(This article unfortunately does not report the contradictions in this story, and fails to mention the fact that significant sweeps against civilians are ongoing throughout the Highlands in Tingginambut and Mulia – against Free Papua guerillas led by Goliat Tabuni – as well as major operations across the entire border region, including allegations of village clearances.

Bintang Papua, 23 March 2012Journalists are very important for Papua
Ruben Magay
Jayapura: Without journalists, nothing would be known by the general public about the aspirations of the Papuan people, said Ruben Magay chairman of Commission A of the DPRP, the Papua Provincial Legislative Assembly.
Referring to recent demonstrations organised by the KNPB – National Committee for West Papua – he warned that demos should avoid becoming 'anarchistic' and start throwing things at journalists.
'Demonstrations to press for our aspirations are in accord with the laws in force in Indonesia but people should understand that they must refrain from abusing or attacking journalists, as this is in violation of the ethical code of the press. A recent demonstration was held to call for a referendum, but if people resort to anarchistic behaviour, this would result in the aspirations not being made known to in public. He urged the KNPB to remember that the demos they organise should always be orderly and peaceful.. 'They should avoid trying to force their wishes on other people,' said Magay, who in earlier days often took part in demonstrations himself.
He referred to Law 29/1998 on demonstrations in which it is stated that people wishing to proclaim their aspirations and their opinions to the general public were fully entitled to do so and should always conform with the regulations in force.

Success Story January 22, 2021 at 09:00 am
Orphaned at 11, this Kenyan tech genius turned down Harvard and became a millionaire at 19

Abu Mubarik is a journalist with years of experience in digital media. He loves football and tennis.
They stopped working for stars like Diddy to start a restaurant business. Now they've made over $1M

Mubarak Muyika grew up with his aunt following the demise of his parents when he was only 11 years old. His dad was a civil servant who died when he was two years old while his mom was a high school teacher who passed away when was 11.
In high school, Muyika developed a passion for technology. While a student at Friends School Kamusinga, he won two awards in Kenya's national science fair, the annual Kenya Students Congress on Science and Technology.
At age 16, Muyika ventured into entrepreneurship, focusing on technology. His first creation was "enhanced petrol tracker," a tracking database to monitor mismanagement of oil resources by tracking oil tanker movement, oil flow and demand, according to Africa Middle East. His creation was well received and was duly recognized as the best student in the computer exhibit category at the annual Kenya Students Congress on Science and Technology.

This Kenyan woman turned a $45 investment into Nairobi's favorite shoe shop
He was spotted by one of Kenya's richest men, Chris Kirubi, and offered a scholarship to study at Harvard, an offer he surprisingly turned town because he wanted to continue with his entrepreneurship drive.
He also built a functional website for a book publishing and distribution company owned by his guardians. He later taught himself PHP, Java and HTML which helped him to design an interactive website for the business.
In 2011, Muyika founded his own company known as Hype Century Technologies & Investments Ltd. The startup offered services such as web designing and web hosting in East Africa with a market focus on Small to Medium size businesses. In the following year, Muyika received the Anzisha Prize for young entrepreneurs for his work in Hype Century.
The success of his startup began attracting the attention of international investors. One of such investors was Jignesh Patel, who invested in his growing business with a 25% stake. In 2013, Muyika sold his 60 percent stake in the company in a deal that made him a millionaire at only 19. By the time he left the company in May, it had 14 employees handling about 1,800 domains.
"By May after our first financial year, we had about 1,800 domains which represented clients in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan and some in the RC (Republic of the Congo). That was something that I can say is the biggest achievement, in terms of where the company is today," Muyika spoke about Hype Century's success.
After relinquishing his stake in Hype Century, he launched a new venture called Zagace. It is an online business management toolkit for small and medium-sized companies. It has Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) capabilities, enabling its users to manage their inventory, accounting, human resources, and communications through a series of integrated apps.
In 2015, Muyika was featured on Forbes Africa's 30 Under 30 as one of the most promising young entrepreneurs from Africa. ''Mr Muyika is enterprising and focused, I recommended him to Havard University but noticed that entrepreneurship came first and he had no obligation to pursue the course," said Kenyan businessman Kirubi.

I think it is great with the color shading for highlighting delta in the Volume Delta fotprint chart, but I am wondering if you could please add highlightings for extreme numbers also? Meaning independent of the delta color shading.
More specifically, highlighting the level of largest toltal volume, largest sell volume and largest buy volume. This preferably being able to choose colors by personal preference.
The reason for this is for example that highest total volume traded at one level can be overlooked when almost white in color. One tend to seek after the darker red and darker green.
I have attached a picture which illustrates how this can be done. In the picture I have split the delta ladder with a orange frame which illustrates where largest total volume is. Second and third a red and green color has been choosen for largest sell and buy volume.
Very good idea. One comment though. I looked at the highlightings and noticed that you have highlighted the ladder cell with two pixel width on the horizontals. I think one pixel around the whole cell would be enough. Same with max sell and max buy. I see four pixels width, but I think three would be enough. A bit too much on both of them.

Thanks, and I agree. I took a look at it and I see that one pixel for the frame "max total volume" is enough. Same with max bid and max ask highlight. Three pixels width is enough.

Thanks a lot guys for doing this.
Was just thinking here. Maybe bold numbers for the max buys and sells would be more intuitive than the red and green markers? Because this might set ones attention straight to the numbers instead of first the marker then checking the number.
If others could share their thoughs on this too that could be useful.

This is a Claddagh ring with a difference. This solid sterling silver ring features a 10k yellow gold heart nestled at the centre for maximum impact. The Ladies Silver Claddagh Ring with Gold Heart bears the three distinctive Claddagh symbols: the hands at each side signify friendship, the gold heart in the centre signifies love and the crown on top represents loyalty.
This solid sterling silver ring with 10k yellow gold heart is all the more special as it features the words 'love', 'loyalty' and 'friendship' inscribed on the inside of the ring. Ireland's romantic 'Ring of Claddagh' originated from the Galway fishing village of Claddagh and this symbol of love, loyalty and friendship has continued around the world from the 1600s to today. This ring is made by local artisans and craft-workers here in Ireland and bears Ireland's official hallmark from the Assay office at Dublin Castle.
An excellent product at a great price. The ring is wonderful and my girlfriend really loves it.
Also, shipping to Italy was super fast and I have received the ring in less than a week after ordering.
Reçu pour Noël de la part de mon copain, j'ai été très émue car cela fait 10 ans que je voulais une vraie Claddagh. Me voilà gâtée, emballage parfait et très rafinée! La bague est juste sublime et tellement féminine une fois portée! Un gros coup de coeur!
Magnifique bague irlandaise, emballage soigné, livraison dans le délai annoncé. Ma compagne en est ravie.
Très content de mon achat, on sent la qualité de fabrication. Seul l'emballage aurait gagner en un peu plus de prestige qu'une simple petite boîte carrée.
Very beautiful Claddagh ring, fast delivery. My wife was very happy !!. 100% satisfied. Thank's a lot.
A very beautiful ring.In fact it looks much better than in the picture. Perfect service and fast delivery. Very pleased with it!
Everything was as described in fact the pictures do not do it justice. This was a gift for my daughter for her birthday and she is delighted.
Great service and would recommend.
The ring was a present for my niece who is absoulutely delighted with it. I was very pleased with the speed of the delivery and the presentation gift wrapping included, it is a beautiful ring.
Thank you my girlfriend was very happy about the ring.
and maybe soon for the next order.
