Each year, millions of people from the U.S. and all over the world visit America's 59 national parks. Many come during the summer, which is the most popular time for travel in the United States. But plenty of national parks are just as beautiful, and fun to visit, during the winter months.


The weather is finally good - it is sunny. The forecast for the weekend is also fine - it's a wonderful opportunity for a sightseeing at Belgrade fortress.
Today is the day 1B of IPT Championship, there are 123 entries at this event. We have 7 tables in cash game area, 5 tables 5-5, 2 tables 5-10 Texas Hold'em.
Final number of entries to Day 1A of the IPT Championship is 111. 41 players made it to Day 2 and can spend tomorrow eating ćevapčići (see a photo below), playing the flight event or just sightseeing. Ramon Rincon who has both Spanish & Russian citizenship is leading the field with international star Ilon Boujenah boasting a huge stack also.
All other guests of Belgrade Poker International can enter or re-enter Day 1B. Though 87 players still want to save some money so they joined the last satellite to the IPT Championship.
We're experimenting with the GT Live Main Event this time using a flight system for this event. As usual there is no fuss about the flights with 36 entries in 2 runs, but most of the players will just join this event on its final day - it will be on Saturday's evening, starting from 20:00 local time.
As usual night time is perfect for cash game warriors. Once again there are many no limit holdem tables, but the biggest game in the building is PLO. You're welcome to join us here, in Casino Beograd any day till Sunday.

Ohio health officials are notifying 59,000 state residents that they were inadvertently identified as behavioral-health patients in mailed correspondence, resulting in a breach of protected health information.
In February, the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services sent postcards to former patients that read "Your Consumer Voice," strongly inferring that the recipient had used the agency's services.
The agency received a complaint from a woman whose son received one of the 10,000 cards inviting patients to take an online survey. It was the only complaint, according to agency spokesman Eric Wandersleben.
The agency took the complaint seriously, he said, notifying the feds, informing the patients, reviewing agency privacy policies, reprimanding (but not discharging) the individual deemed most responsible, and providing employees in its research division with a "deeper dive" into relevant data privacy laws, he said.
The agency has been conducting the surveys—without any previous patient complaints—as part of a quality improvement program, aiming to gauge individuals' treatment experiences and to gather data for a federal grant, he said.
Thus far in the U.S., the medical records of more than 158 million individuals have been exposed in 1,540 data breaches involving 500 or more individuals' records reported to the HHS' Office for Civil Rights and posted on its "wall of shame" website. Many thousands more records have been reported as compromised in tens of thousands of lesser breaches, according to the OCR.
Information-technology security experts predict 2016 could be worse for healthcare data breaches than 2015, the worst year since the OCR began publicly tracking them in 2009. And government healthcare agencies have not been immune.
In February, federal authorities notified officials at the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County that confidential information on about 1,000 of the county agency's patients had been breached.

Q: What is the algebraic property that corresponds to a topological term? Warning: This question will be fairly ill-posed. I have spent a lot of time trying to make it better posed without success, so please bear with me.
A single $SU(2)$ spin may be represented by the $0+1$ dimensional non-linear $\sigma$ model with target space $S^2$. This $\sigma$ model admits a Wess-Zumino-Witten term. Now WZW terms are very funny things. One way to think about is purely from the path integral side. The existence of the topological term comes from the topological structure of the path integral, and the quantization of the WZW term comes from the single valued-ness of the integral.
Another way to obtain the WZW term is to start from the Hilbert space of an $SU(2)$ spin (the "algebraic" side) and then construct the path integral. The fact that the WZW term is quantized and topological is totally natural from this perspective, since the WZW term has nothing to do with dynamics. It simply keeps track of which $SU(2)$ representation we have - so of course it doesn't renormalize or care about any details.
Further, instead of a single spin, we can consider a $d$ dimensional lattice spins. Under some conditions we can again write this as $\sigma$ model. There may be a WZW term depending on $d$. So there is a classification of possible WZW terms depending on dimension.
Here is the issue: The classification of WZW terms on the path integral side is very clear. It is just some appropriate dimensional homotopy group. What is being classified on the algebraic side? We are somehow counting distinct representations of the operator algebra - but what precisely?
Hopefully, that makes non-zero sense. What follows is a dump of my brain contents.
1) The question has nothing to do with symmetry. I will still have a topological term if add a nonzero Hamiltonian that breaks every symmetry. It is true that at long distances I may end up in different topological sector but this seems irrelevant.
2) A quantum system consists of two parts: an operator algebra (with a Hamiltonian) and a Hilbert space, which is a choice representation of this algebra - the WZW terms keeps track of this choice.
3) It is obviously sensitive to more information than the dimension of the Hilbert space since there are representations of $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ with the same dimension but the homotopy sequence of $S^2$ is different from that of $S^3$.
4) As far as I can tell there is nothing special about WZW terms. Any topological term should have some similar question, at least via the bulk-boundary correspondance. Since we can set $H=0$ the question is somehow about the algebraic analogue of Topological QFT. So someone who understands TQFT should be able to explain.
The closest I have been able to come to an answer is something like the following. To construct a coherent state path integral representation my Hamiltonian can only involve a certain algebra of operators. (I think.) For example, if I have a lattice with a four dimensional Hilbert space on each site, I can pretend that that is a lattice of spin $3/2$. But if I just have random matrix elements coupling neighboring sites then the coherent state path integral doesn't seem to come out well. It's only when the only couplings that appear in the Hamiltonian are the spin operators that I can perform the usual path integral manipulation.
So as I basically said before, the defining question is "what is the algebra of operators defined on a site that may appear in the Hamiltonian"? Again, as I said before there is no notion of symmetry in this definition, since the Hamiltonian does not have to lie in the center of this operator algebra. And again the spectrum of topological invariants is sensitive to the representations of this algebra.
Now to construct a path integral representation I would like to have coherent states. In the case that my algebra is just a finite Lie Algebra then this probably can be done using a root decomposition, and basically following the $SU(2)$ construction. So I get some geometric space, that I can probably read off the Dynkin diagram somehow. Then maybe by going backwards from the homotopy calculation I can figure whats happening on the algebraic side.  So I guess its just the ADE classification of symmetric spaces, maybe?
In the case that my operator algebra is not a finite Lie algebra, I don't know, mostly because I know nothing about Algebra.

A: A  modern geometric-algebraic tool presently being under active research
in the context of quantization of field theories  with topological terms
is the theory of  gerbes.
The main reference for this application (quantization) is the book by
Brylinski : "Loop Spaces, Characteristic Classes, and Geometric Quantization".
Gerbes are extensively used in string theory, please see the following
introduction by Graeme Segal. (i.e., the stringy structures depending on
$B$-fields in string theory are actually properties of gerbes).
One of the early physics references on this subject is the seminal
article by Orlando Alvarez. (The word gerbe is not mentioned in the article, because it preceded the use of this terminology in physics.).
In this work the quantization condition of the coefficient of a WZW terms  is achieved as a by-product of the construction of the isomorphism between the Cech and the de-Rham
cohomology groups.
The work describes two examples, the first is the
the translation of the Wu-Yang argument of a particle in the field of a
magnetic monopole (in 0+1 d) to Cech cohomology.  This example is actually an introduction to line bundles. The WZW coefficient quantization in 0+1 dimensions is just
the Dirac quantization condition, associating (equivalence classes) of line bundles over the
manifold with the first Chern class of the manifold, which is the globally defined magnetic
field. The construction of the line bundle is the first step towards
quantization (sometimes called prequantization). Basically, the quantization Hilbert space can be chosen to be the space  zero modes of the (gauged) Laplacian on the sections of the bundle. The values of the magnetic charges determine the dimension of the quantization Hilbert space via the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.
The second (and the main) example is a two dimensional
sigma model with a WZW term , which is the important contribution of the work. In
the course of the process of the quantization of the WZW coefficient, the basic
ingredients of the gerbe are constructed: The $H$-field: the global WZW
three form, the $B$-field  (two form) denoted in the article by $T$ and
the  $A$-field  (one form)  denoted in the article by $J$.
This work by Orlando Alvarez is very essential for the understanding of the following gerbe constructions.
The quantization of gerbes follows the same lines as the quantization of
line bundles. The quantization condition, or the association of line
bundles with the first Chern class is replaced by the association of the
gerbe with a Dixmier-Douady class whose representative is just the WZW
three form with the quantized coefficient. The line bundle holonomy is
replaced by the gerbe surface holonomy. The quantization spaces are
infinite dimensional, and associated with representations of Kac-Moody
algebras, please see the following work by Juoko Mickelsson.
Gerbes enable the extension of the theory of geometric quantization to
loop spaces of manifolds $L\mathcal{M}$ while working with finite dimensional
objects. The transition between the two pictures is by means of the
transgression map, in our case $H^3(\mathcal{M}) \cong
H^2(L\mathcal{M})$. Thus the WZW three form is actually the Chern class
of a line bundle over a loop space. Please see for example the following
Work by Sämann and Szabo.
The use of gerbes is not confined to two dimensional field theories,
although, the quantization of higher dimensional field theories, (with
topological terms, for example when anomalies are present),   constitutes of a much more difficullt challenge and the work is not concluded yet. Steps in this direction were taken by Juoko Mickelsson and his collaborators, please see references in the
above Mickelsson work and other works by him in the Archiv.

A: We have an algebraic classification of WZW terms that works for any dimensions and for any symmetry groups  (including discrete groups). In fact what we did is that we classified the so call SPT states  for any on-site symmetries in any dimensions. The boundary excitations of a SPT states are describe by effective non-linear sigma-model of the symmetry group with a WZW term. The classification of the bulk SPT states, in turn, classify the WZW terms for the effective boundary non-linear sigma-model.
The classification can be stated as the following  (arXiv:1106.4772):
Consider a non-linear sigma-model whose target space is the symmetry group $G$ in $d$ space-time dimensions, its  WZW terms are classified by group-cohomology classes $H^{d+1}(G,R/Z)$. Here $G$ can be continuous or discrete.
Add: What we really classified is the WZW term in  a non-linear sigma-model whose target space is the symmetry group $G$ in $d$ dimensional space-time lattice. That is we have a discrete space-time. Even for discrete space-time and discrete groups, a generalization of WZW term can be defined, and their classification is purely algebraic.
This is why our classification involves co-homology theory rather than homotopy theory.
If we break the symmetry, the low energy effects of WZW term disappear (ie the low energy properties of the theory is the same with or without WZW term. This is why we require symmetry.

Today I visited Doughboys Café on 3rd Street between La Jolla and Crescent Heights, and decided to review their pancakes as my first blog entry. Until today I had only visited Doughboys once, and tried their absolutely amazing Challah French Toast (Bonaparte's Breakfast)- so I was very much anticipating the taste of their pancakes. Although Doughboys has several tempting options, including Rice Krispy Pancakes, I decided to go with the Pumpkin Griddlecakes.
As I'm not such a fan of nuts, I asked the server if it was possible to have the meal sans walnuts; she explained that because the nuts are baked into the batter, this was not going to be possible. The server did, however, mention her dislike of walnuts as well, and assured me I wouldn't be able to taste them. Boy was she right!
With a fantastic blend of pancakes, pumpkin, and walnuts, the first bite of Pumpkin Griddlecakes tasted like Thanksgiving morning. The pancakes were doughy but not heavy, and flavorful but not overbearing. While the pancakes were tasty with a hint of syrup, the scoop of whipped cream cheese on top sealed the deal.
The Pumpkin Griddlecakes at Doughboys are the perfect holiday breakfast treat; just steer clear if you are allergic to nuts!
*And as a side note, unlike many restaurants in LA, Doughboys serves breakfast ALL DAY LONG!

Samantha and Nick's wedding - Stillwater at Crittenden Estate, Mornington Peninsula.
I'm not a clinical - same, same, but different photographer - all weddings are different without a doubt. They are different because people are different. With this in mind I start the shoot with a general plan for the day that is about timing, locations and people, then everything else either appears or I make happen, depending on what catches my eye and imagination. There is no template or album design images to tick off, just a keen eye for light, life, relationships, interesting moments, details, key wedding moments, and of course, a mantlepiece shot for mum and grandma. Overall it's about keeping it real and about the people, with a classic look that is not too romantic, staged or quirky. On top of that I want to have a good time too and at Sam and Nick's delightful, very personal, beautiful, low key but celebratory wedding at Stillwater at Crittenden Estate I had a ball and I hope it shows in the shots. Cheers.

Dio mio, grazie (God's Grace) è un romanzo di Bernard Malamud pubblicato nel 1982 presso Farrar, Straus and Giroux di New York. È la storia dell'unico sopravvissuto a una guerra nucleare e al secondo diluvio universale che tenta di ricostruire la civiltà in un gruppo di scimmie.

Il racconto è in qualche modo imparentato al Robinson Crusoe e alla storia biblica di Noè. L'accoglienza critica non fu all'altezza dei suoi precedenti libri.

È diviso in 6 capitoli: Il diluvio; L'isola di Cohn; L'albero-scuola; La vergine tra gli alberi; La voce del profeta; La misericordia di Dio.

Hotels push back on bill imposing new cleaning, staffing rules
Michael Symons
A plan to write hotel sanitation guidelines into state law is advancing toward a vote in the Legislature this week, despite concerns from the lodging industry, which has its own plans centered around keyless entry and no-contact check-ins.
The coronavirus-inspired bill due for legislative approval this week requires housekeeping to clean every room daily and have at least one person – and more, if they have 200 rooms or more – at the front desk 24 hours a day. It also requires housekeeping to clean each room daily.
Marilou Halverson, president and chief executive officer of the New Jersey Restaurant and Hospitality Association, said the organization two weeks ago submitted 'safe-stay' plans including sanitation protocols that the state should adopt.
"Our plan goes more into depth, but it actually does what it's supposed to do and eliminate contact and protects employees and guests that this plan does not," Halverson said.
QUEST FOR A CURE: Thursday at 7 p.m., New Jersey 101.5 hosts a live discussion on NJ-driven advancements in coronavirus treatment and research that could save lives, help return NJ to work and even make progress toward a vaccine. Listen on New Jersey 101.5 FM, the NJ 101.5 app or Facebook.com/NJ1015.
Halverson said some guests might not want housekeeping to enter their rooms each day and should be able to request linens and towels if they prefer. And she said with social distancing goals you don't want workers close to each other at a front desk, especially when it's not needed in the middle of the night.
Assemblyman Brian Bergen, R-Morris, said if the industry's experts have a plan, the state should pay attention to that.
"To mandate a certain level of staffing at the front desk overnight, it just seems not well thought out and excessive," Bergen said.
Assemblyman Antwan McClellan, R-Cape May, said hospitality businesses shouldn't be required to hire more staff at a time like this, which could be required by proposed rules for front-desk staffing.
"We want to practice social distancing and give the family an opportunity to decide if they want their rooms cleaned or not," McClellan said. "And if they can get clean towels every day, then that should be their option and their choice and allow that to happen without having somebody go into their room on a daily basis."
Assemblyman Kevin Rooney, R-Passaic, said he supports the concept, on balance, but that the hospitality industry raises valid concerns.
"We should look to allowing these types of businesses to reopen with safety in mind but more importantly, we need to get the economy open and this is just one element of it," Rooney said.

Trump says U.S. to impose 5 percent tariff on all Mexican goods
The president says the tariffs will take effect June 10 and will stay until "illegal migrants" stop coming into the country from Mexico.
Trump says US will impose 5% tariff on imports from Mexico
May 31, 201900:28
May 30, 2019, 11:51 PM UTC / Updated May 31, 2019, 12:16 PM UTC
By Alex Johnson
President Donald Trump said Thursday night that the United States would impose a 5 percent tariff on all Mexican goods starting next month, saying the sweeping tariffs would rise monthly to as high as 25 percent "until Mexico substantially stops the illegal inflow of aliens coming through its territory."
Trump has previously threatened to use trade as an incentive to persuade Mexico to reduce immigration through the southern border — in April 2018, he tweeted that Mexico must "stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL!"
That was a reference to the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement, which would be replaced by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, which Trump, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed in November.
On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,..
López Obrador said in a letter to Trump that was made public late Thursday that he was sending his foreign minister to Washington on Friday.
"Social problems are not resolved with taxes or coercive measures," López Obrador said of the new tariffs.
"The Statue of Liberty is not an empty symbol," he said. "With all due respect, although it has the sovereign right to express it, the motto 'America First' is a fallacy."
Trump's announcement comes at a delicate time, with efforts to ratify the treaty under way in all three countries on Thursday.

Earlier Thursday, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer sent a letter to congressional leaders to begin the ratification process, and López Obrador formally asked Mexico's Senate to ratify the deal. Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence was in Ottawa, the Canadian capital, to promote the agreement on Thursday.
But in a briefing for reporters, Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, said the tariffs wouldn't affect the USMCA deal.
"The two are absolutely not linked," he said, adding: "These are not tariffs as part of a trade dispute. These are tariffs as part of an immigration problem."
Asked whether Trump understood that tariffs are paid by importers, not exporters — in this case, by Americans, not Mexicans — Mulvaney said: "Americans are paying for this right now.
"Illegal immigration comes at a cost," he said. "The American taxpayer is paying for what's going on at the border."
At a news conference Thursday night, Jésus Seade, Mexico's undersecrtetary for foreign relations and the country's chief trade negotiator, called Trump's announcement "disastrous," the newspaper El Universal reported. "If it happens, we must respond energetically."
More than 1,000 migrants apprehended at border, the largest group on record
In a statement, the White House said the new tariffs would go into effect on June 10 and would rise by 5 percentage points every month — to 10 percent on July 1, 15 percent on Aug. 1 and so on — until they hit 25 percent on Oct. 1.
"Tariffs will permanently remain at the 25 percent level unless and until Mexico substantially stops the illegal inflow of aliens coming through its territory," it said.
Mulvaney said there was no specific target the United States expected Mexico to meet, saying the White House would assess the situation "on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis."
"We are going to judge success here by the number of people crossing the border, and that number needs to start coming down immediately in a significant and substantial number," he said.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Finance Committee, which must act on the USMCA treaty, strongly criticized the tariff announcement.
"Trade policy and border security are separate issues," Grassley said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. "This is a misuse of presidential tariff authority and counter to congressional intent."
The trade representative's office estimated that U.S. imports of goods from Mexico totaled $346.5 billion last year, making it the United States' second-largest supplier of goods in 2018. Agricultural products were the biggest sector, totaling $26 billion of that, or almost 8 percent.
Normally, Congress, not the president, has the authority to raise taxes and tariffs, but the president can do so by declaring special circumstances that constitute a threat to national security.
That's the basis under which Trump raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports on countries other than Mexico and Canada in March 2018. The president has long argued that what he calls illegal immigration is an existential threat to the nation's security.

Report: N'Golo Kante cleared to play after passing out
By Joe Prince-WrightMar 5, 2018, 1:35 PM EST
N'Golo Kante didn't feature for Chelsea at Manchester City on Sunday after passing out in training 48 hours before kick off.
Reports have emerged, such as this one from the Telegraph, detailing the scary moment that Kante fainted in front of his teammates.
The reigning PFA Player of the Year reportedly "slumped to one side" in the locker room at Chelsea's training ground before being sent for cardiology tests which all came back clear.
Kante traveled with the squad to Manchester for the game against City but reportedly felt unwell on Sunday morning and wasn't risked for the game.
Per the report, the 26-year-old could have been suffering with a reaction to the subzero temperatures in the UK over the past week.
It is believed Kante will be available for Chelsea's London derby against Crystal Palace this weekend.

Virgin Orbit launches seven cubesats on third operational mission

Final preparations are underway at Lockheed Martin to ship DigitalGlobe's WorldView-4 earth imaging satellite to Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, for a 15 September 2016 launch.
The Lockheed Martin team is completing final satellite testing and checkout before shipment. Testing includes calculating the weight and center of gravity of WorldView-4, completing a health check of major systems, and testing out image collection and downlinking capability.
"The high resolution and high accuracy images taken by WorldView-4 will support DigitalGlobe's worldwide customer base," said Carl Marchetto, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin Commercial Space. "DigitalGlobe's smart imagery serves hundreds of thousands of end-users charged with the safety and security of nations, and enables the maps and geospatial applications relied on by billions of consumers."
"Only the DigitalGlobe constellation, with the addition of WorldView-4, offers the highest quality, and most comprehensive global coverage of our changing planet through 2030, so our customers can be confident they will have the information to make critical decisions," said Dr. Walter Scott, Founder and Chief Technology Officer, DigitalGlobe. "WorldView-4 will help us continue to transform the way we see the world, and advance our mission of keeping our planet and its people safe and secure."
Once launched, WorldView-4 will double DigitalGlobe's coverage of the world's highest resolution imagery and increase the rate at which it grows its 15-year library of time-lapse high-resolution imagery. WorldView-4 will orbit Earth every 90 minutes, traveling 17,000 miles per hour and capturing more 680,000 square kilometers of the Earth's surface daily (19.5 terabytes) the equivalent of the land area of Texas.
With an orbit approximately 400 miles from Earth, the satellite will be launched aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket provided by Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services.
A number of countries and large corporations in the Middle East are DigitalGlobe clients, and the Colorado-based company and Saudi Arabia announced in February 2016 a joint venture to build a constellation of at least six small high-resolution imaging satellites.

Clever thinking by Michael Merriman, the head groundsman of Mansfield Town FC, saved the day.
Merriman woke up to a pitch that had frozen solid ahead of the game on Saturday.
Familiar with the services of Thermokil Insect Control Services, Merriman contacted the company owner Ryan Overton and asked him to come have a look.
Thermokil uses specialist heat treatment kits to drive out pests such as bed bugs. Overton liked the idea of using the kits to defrost the field. He took on the job on Thursday. By the time the match kicked off on Saturday, Mansfield Town FC had a fresh and safe field.


Are you concerned about the movement to bring rent control to the city of Santa Cruz? The folks working to establish rent control in the city have met the required number of signatures to put the measure on the ballot this coming November, so the rent control question will soon be put to the vote. While there are many advocates for rent control, the opposite is true as well. A local group, Santa Cruz Together, is a leading grass-roots effort against what they see as a misguided effort to improve housing affordability which will ultimately result in lower affordability, higher rent, and lower quality housing for all.
Santa Cruz Together is a group comprised of over 600 local small property owners (many of them landlords) and "banana slugs." Many of these landlords oppose rent control not because it won't allow them to raise rent, but rather, because they fear it will mean they'll have to exit the rental business entirely because they won't want the hassles of dealing with increased bureaucracy, tenant laws, and "just cause evictions" which make it very problematic to stop renting to tenants, even after a lease as expired. Many landlords say they'll simply remove their rental properties from the market, which will decrease the rental pool and ultimately work to raise rental prices.
Folks who are concerned with the prospect of rent control are invited to join with and/or donate to Santa Cruz Together on their web site.

Q: Windows "not genuine" after entering several commands After entering these commands:
bootrec.exe /FixMbr
bootrec.exe/FixBoot
bootrec.exe/RebuildBCD
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot attrib bcd -s -h -r
bootrec /RebuildBcd
My windows claims to be "not genuine" and I have 30 days to fix it... Does anyone know what I did to mess it up? and how I can reverse it?
Thank you.

A: Search for cmd.exe. Right click and "Run as Administrator". Then type the following: slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX where the XXXXX's are your product key for Windows 7. After the command completes (you get back to the prompt), restart the computer. Then tell Windows to activate. If it does not work, call Microsoft and explain to them that you had to reactivate your Windows after repairing Windows. If you have a real copy and the documentation to prove it (Certificate of Authenticity, disk, box, etc.) they should be able to help you reactivate Windows.


Atlanta modern rockers the Black Lips are already two recording sessions into their fifth studio album, which the group's Ian Saint Pe says could be out by late summer or early fall.
The Black Lips are touring North America until April 10 and have two shows booked in Spain — May 30 at the San Miguel Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona and the Azkena Rock Festival on June 24 in Vitoria. Saint Pe says some more European dates might be added to the schedule, while a fall tour will likely support the new album release.

Dream Demon (Arrow Video) Blu-ray Review
Arrow Video has brought us another long lost film from The Video Store Days in the form of Dream Demon. So, come join us as we take a look at this horror cult classic.
Studio: Arrow Video
Release Date: 1988 (theatrical) / June 23rd, 2020 (blu-ray)
Run Time: 89 mins (theatrical) / 88 mins (director's cut)
Region Code: FREE
Picture: 1080p (1.85:1 aspect ratio) (both versions)
Sound: English LPCM 2.0
Slipcover: No
Starring: Jemma Redgrave, Kathleen Wilhoite, and Timothy Spall
Written by Christopher Wicking and Harley Cokeliss
Directed by Harley Cokeliss
Rating: R (strong horror violence and gore and nudity) (both versions)
Diana (Jemma Redgrave) is a high class young woman with a troubled past, who is on the verge of marrying the caddish Oliver (Mark Greenstreet). Spending the night in her old and spooky family mansion, Diana stares into a mirror and begins experiencing terrifying dreams. She sees her past, present and future, while at the same time entering a dark dimension of her own. One day Diana is visited by Jenny (Kathleen Wilhoite), an American tourist and also a victim of a turbulent past. Without knowing how or why, Diana suddenly pulls Jenny into her nightmarish world.
I had never heard of DREAM DEMON before it showed up on my doorstep. Since the film was released during the heyday of the A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET SERIES, I figured that this would be yet another clone of the Wes Craven created series. To my surprise, the film deals with heavy issues of abuse and uncertainty.
To be fair, there are plenty of dreams in DREAM DEMON. And these dreams turn to nightmares pretty quickly. In fact, I don't think that there is one pleasant dream in the entire film. The film starts out with a crazy dream in which the lead character slaps a man's head clean off of his body. The nightmares do get more bizarre as the film progresses and Diana even brings her friend Jenny into the dreams. The film plays fast and loose with the dreams, allowing the audience the chance to try and figure out if what we are seeing is a dream or reality.
As I watched the film, I was reminded not of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, but HELLRAISER. The way that the film is shot, the shafts of light that come in through slats in the basement, the way that the house is shot. There are no pleasures found here, but the film especially around the hour mark reminded made me have those HELLRAISER feelings. It could just be the fact that both HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II and DREAM DEMON were released in the same year or that both films have a very gothic feeling to them, but that is the film that DREAM DEMON reminded of.
One last thing I want to address and that are the effects. There were more effects here than I thought there would be and they are much better than expected. Make-up effects, some nice gore effects, and even some full body burns are all here for us to take in and they are all wonderful. The film looks great too. It never feels like a low budget film. There is a lot of talent on display here and we are better for having witnessed it.
THE PICTURE AND THE SOUND
DREAM DEMON comes to us with a brand new 2K restoration and presented in the film's original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The first thing that I noticed were the colors. There are bold at times and very vibrant. Skin tones are also nice looking and blacks are deep and inky. Detail is very high throughout especially in close-ups where the detail is off the charts. This is a great looking transfer that will wow fans of the film.
The sound comes in the form of an LPCM track that sounds great. Dialogue sounds wonderful and the music comes through loud and clear.

Scene-Select Audio Commentary with Harley Cokeliss and Paul Webster
This is an impressive line-up of features and they are all interesting and worth the watch. The interview with Cokeliss and the making of are the highlights of this package but don't discount the rest.
DREAM DEMON is a very interesting film that offers up some heavy ideas even if it doesn't stick the landing. The film is great to look at and gives us things that we haven't seen before. The last half of the film feels very much like a HELLRAISER film and I am ok with that. The film is entertaining if not a bit baffling. The blu-ray is a must have for fans of the film as it goes in deep with a ton of special features and two versions of the film. Definitely give DREAM DEMON a shot.

The People v O.J Simpson: American Crime Story (BBC Two)
The team behind the American Horror Story franchise turns their attention to the events surrounding the O.J Simpson murder trial based on the Jeffrey Toobian novel The Run of his Life: The People v O.J Simpson. This recently aired on FX in the U.S and the last episode is 18th April on BBC Two over here in the U.K so there is still time to rewatch from the beginning and engage in all those office discussions on just how bloody good this show is! The cast is strong in Ross Geller/David Schwimmer as Rob Kardashian (there was fame before Keeping up with the Kardashians) and John Travolta's portrayal of cliché celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro is spot on.
The DVD
Bridge of Spies - Steven Spielberg
The Spielberg and Hanks duo have become the peanut butter and Jam sandwich of the movie world (jelly for our US counterparts). When I hear these two are teaming up it's not a question of if but when I go see it, they are the proverbial warm hug. This is their 11th time working together, Band of Brothers, Catch Me If You Can, Saving Private Ryan.. the list goes on. This time, we see another war-themed film however not the on field kind that we have seen in the past. Based on a true story, Hanks must negotiate the exchange of a U.S spy plane pilot for a KGB agent detained in the US. Mark Rylance steals the show with his powerful yet understated performance as Soviet, Rudolf Abel. Another great film from this incredible Hollywood partnership.
The BFG - Steven Spielberg
When the greatest children's author in the world, Roald Dahl gets the big screen treatment, it makes sense that you turn to the master of this genre, Spielberg. From E.T to The Goonies this guy knows how to deliver one film for both children and adults alike. The BFG sees Mark Rylance in the title role with a little help from the guys in the CGI department. Expect fun for all the family and some deeper more touching moments no doubt. Look out for Bill Hader who continues his march forward into big box office films.
The Star Wars Trailer
Rogue One A Star Wars Story - Gareth Edwards
Yes a SECOND trailer AND yes I did already blog about this trailer earlier in the week. But COME ON MAN It's Star Wars!!!!!! If you missed this being announced around the world on every media format then welcome back I hope the bump on the head heals well. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, I don't love this title, sounds a bit like an after school special but that's the only negative thing I have to say. This is a prequel to A New Hope Episode IV, it has the visual cinematography of the late 70's Star Wars but with a fresh even slicker look and feel. We have new stormtroopers (shadowtroopers FYI), new baddies, heroes and heroines (Felicity Jones proving she can play bad ass action hero too) and a Death Star. BRING ON DECEMBER!
The Martian - Andy Weir
So you saw the film with Matt Damon which was a real surprise in that it was so damn good. And how do you make a film where it is 90% one character in solitary planetary confinement? Make it funny! And they did this to real effect. The original source material in the form of Andy Weir's novel is no exception to this. A funny, "lost in space" thriller (Matt Damon and space are not working out for each other) that will have you cheering as your commuter train announces it is experiencing technical difficulties.
"Anybody order a Loveburger??? WELL DONE."

Q: Inkscape pdf_tex file produces a figure with incorrect width As I recently learned, Inkscape has a nice feature that enables the user to separate figure's lines and shapes from its text (axis label etc.). The output is two files, a pdf and a pdf_tex file.
Consider the following figure, with its horizontal axis label:

Implementing the file in LaTeX, I get the following result:

As you can see, the plot crosses the column it is placed at (put aside the axes numbers sitting on top of the axes).
The output was generated with the code:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{multicol} % To write in 2 columns
%% To include figures %%
\usepackage{import}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{siunitx} % physical quantities numbers and units
\begin{document}

    \import{./}{sine.pdf_tex}
    \caption{Caption}
    \label{fig:my_label}
\end{figure}

\end{multicols}
\end{document}

How can I solve this?
I guess that the question I have fits this SE website, but please inform me if not perhaps the graphics design website?
To download the files: sine.pdf and sine.pdf_tex

A: Such graphics can't be arbitrarly scaled. As the size of the font doesn't change the coordinates of inkscape don't fit for all scale factors, also inkscape can't know how large your glyphs are.
So if you want to use inkscape, create the graphics in roughly the size you actually want to use them later.

If you built it…they will come. Tweaking a line from Field of Dreams… Annapolis Yacht Club has tweaked its 2018 regatta schedule to encourage participation and make it more convenient for sailors to compete.
Following a thorough review and after much discussion, the AYC Sailing Committee has recommended shifting the Spring One-Design Regatta from a Saturday to a Sunday, moving the Annual Regatta back a month and altering the format of the Fall Series.
This year's AYC Spring One-Design Regatta will be held on Sunday, April 29, to make it easier on owners bringing boats back from Charleston Race Week. This event was previously conducted on a Saturday, putting somewhat of a squeeze on owners who had trailered their boats back from Charleston.
Bartlett noted the Helly Hansen National Offshore One-Design (NOOD) Series will make its annual Annapolis stop the following weekend (May 4-6) and was hopeful J/70 owners and others will consider the AYC One-Design Regatta as an ideal warm-up.
Competition for the AYC One-Design Regatta will be offered in the following classes: J/22, J/105, J/70, J/30, and Etchells.
A more significant change involves the AYC Annual Regatta, which is being moved from June to July. That move was primarily made to avoid conflicts with out-of-town events that prevented many sailors from competing.
This summer, the AYC Annual Regatta will be held on Saturday, July 21, and will replace the Summer One-Design Regatta on the schedule. Because the event is now being held in the mid-summer, the Race Committee has set an early afternoon start to take advantage of the sea breeze that is prevalent during that time of year.
Competition will be conducted for a total of eight one-design classes while handicap divisions will sail under the ORC rating rule for the AYC Annual Regatta. One-designs being offered starts are: J/22, Cal 25, Alerion 28, Harbor 20, J/70, J/80, J/105, and J/30. Organizers are hopeful the introduction of ORC will produce an increase in handicap racing.
Annapolis Yacht Club's popular Fall Series will see some slight schedule revisions designed to reduce the time commitment required to compete. All the smaller one-designs will complete the series in one weekend with windward-leeward racing on September 29 and 30. Similarly, larger one-designs and ORC entries will have their series held the weekend of October 13-14, also exclusively using windward-leeward courses.
AYC has eliminated the distance race element of Fall Series because that type of competition is now being offered by the new Race to Solomons that is slated for Saturday, September 22.
Another new element of the AYC Fall Series involves a special Severn River course for the smallest one-designs in the fleet. Multiple starts will be held for owners of Alerion 28, Harbor 20, and Herreshoff 12.5 on Saturday, October 6, which is the same weekend as the United States Sailboat Show.

Miami Art-Decó
Probably the most recognizable image of Miami is Miami Beach and its Art Decó District. This vibrant neighborhood right by the beach features more than 800 historical Art Deco buildings in its only 8.9 square miles of extension.
Art Decó was a highly influential design movement, first introduced at the 1925 Paris Exposition. It was influenced by the Bauhaus, the Art Nouveau, and the progressive archaeological findings in Egypt. With unique freshness and sense of novelty, Art Decó established an interesting combination of elemental forms, lines, and proportions with heavy ornamentation.
During both the 1929 US Depression, and after Hurricane Andrew hit Miami in 1992, the extravagant Art Decó was the architectural style that reconstructed Miami Beach, and, as a result, heightened the spirits of its inhabitants. Under these reconstructions, Miami adopted the style in its own way, with vibrant pastel schemes on the facades, neon signs and decorations, and lush tropical landscaping designs.
These are my favorite of the Art-Decó Miami:
WALK: Ocean Drive
To fully understand the soul of Miami and its people you have to take a stroll through Ocean Dr. This street, right by the never-ending Miami Beach, is known for its numerous picturesque Art Decó hotels, beachside cafés, and sizzling nightlife.
SEE: The Carlyle
1250 Ocean Dr

The iconic white and sea foam green Carlyle Hotel building, on Ocean Drive, is an icon of Miami Art Decó architecture, and also the set for ultra-famous films like The Birdcage and Scarface.
VISIT: The Bass Museum
Photo: The Bass Museum
One of the oldest Art Decó buildings in the city, the Bass Museum was originally built in 1930 as the Miami Beach Public Library. Now Miami Beach´s contemporary art museum and the most sublime example of Miami´s Art Decó architecture, it just reopened after a two-year renovation. Fun fact: the building´s façade is covered in fossilized paleolithic coral.
EAT: Los Fuegos at the Faena Hotel
3201 Collins Ave.
Photo: Faena Hotel
By the renowned Argentinian grill master Francis Mallmann, Los Fuegos is the place to eat the best asado in town. With an open fire kitchen, and red and animal print accents, the restaurant is inside the Faena Hotel, an Art Decó building redesigned by the fabulous Philip Stark.
DRINK: Delano Beach Club
685 Collins Ave.
Photo: Delano Hotel
The infinity edge pool at the Delano Hotel is one of the hippest spots in the city to have a meal, drinks, and enjoy people-watching, right by the beach.
Located inside the Delano Hotel, one of the most iconic Art Deco buildings in Miami Beach, it was originally designed as military housing, and was later redesigned by Philip Stark.
The pool is private for hotel guests only until 7PM, when the space opens to the public.
STAY: Soho Beach House
Photo: Soho House Beach
Like all Soho Houses, this is an only members Club. But anyone can book a room and enjoy its exclusive facilities by their private beach. The historic Art Decó building has been exquisitely redesigned to make you feel at home, with unexpected details like patterned tiled floorings and wooden furniture, that contrasts with the breathtaking ocean views.
SHOP: The Webster
Photo: The Webster
Located in an iconic Art Decó building, easily recognized by its façade with pink neon sign and accents, this multi brand boutique is a must stop while in Miami. Laure Hériard Dubreuil, The Webster´s founder, curates an exquisite collection of exclusive luxury products.
RELAX: Standard Hotel and Spa
40 Island Ave., Venetian Islands
Photo: The Standard Miami
If you need to escape the buzzle of Miami, the Standard Spa is the ideal place for relaxing. Developed as a Spa with guest rooms, the building (originally the Lido Hotel) was erected on the only natural island of the city, Belle Isle, that is only steps away from South Beach. With outside soaking tubs amidst tropical gardens, it´s considered by many, one of the best Spas in the world.

It was a few days after Thanksgiving when the Tar Heels lost at No. 5 Michigan, looking overwhelmed at both ends and leaving Roy Williams to say — among many things — that "right now we stink."
"I think we needed it, just to show ourselves how good we can be," senior guard Kenny Williams said. "We see everybody talking about 'Carolina's defense is horrible' and all that, so we just need to show ourselves how good we can be and the potential we could play with going deep into the season."
UNC finished the game shooting 55 percent, including 13 of 25 from 3-point range, in a matchup featuring two of the nation's best offensive teams. Yet it was the Tar Heels' work on the boards that proved just as important.
"They're right up there with anybody we've played," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "Especially on the glass, we haven't been beaten on the glass like that all year. And I know we certainly haven't given up 50 percent in both halves for defensive field goal percentage. So, they're right there."
Gonzaga: The Bulldogs sat at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 about a week ago, but they've lost two straight — though both games were serious nonconference tests. They lost a close one last weekend against No. 3 Tennessee, then fell behind early Saturday night and never could catch up against a UNC offense that looked very comfortable on its home floor.
"I think we did our job making them take tough shots, but we just didn't come up with the rebounds," said Josh Perkins, who had 20 points and eight assists.
"They wanted it on the boards, and defensively they went at us. They earned that win."
UNC: The Tar Heels offered a reminder that they have the firepower to score with just about anybody. One significant concern, though, was they committed a season-high 23 turnovers that led to 29 points for Gonzaga — the kind of mistakes that could've proved very costly had North Carolina not been shooting so well and dominating the glass.
"If I see an opening, I'm going to try to take it and make a play," Woods said.
It was the first double-figure scoring game of Woods' career.
The 103 points were UNC's No. 2 total against a top-5 opponent and only the third time the Tar Heels had cracked 100 points in those games.
