World AIDS Day 2013 focuses on "zero" | VIDEO
Ben Cartwright - SDGLN Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO -- This year's global World AIDS Day theme for 2013, "Getting to Zero," is part of the UNAIDS strategy to reach a world with zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths. Worlds AIDS Day will has been observed each year on Dec. 1 since 1988.
Communities around the globe will be organizing events on Sunday to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS, show support for people living with HIV/AIDS, and to commemorate people who have died. Estimates are that more than 34 million people around the world are living with HIV, and more than 25 million between 1981 and 2007 have died from the virus, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.
Events in San Diego County are planned for Hillcrest, UCSD and Carlsbad.
While there have been major advancements in HIV/AIDS treatment since the first cases were reported 32 years ago, there is still no cure for the disease, stigma remains high, and access to medications in some parts of the world is scarce. This is why UNAIDS and several other organizations and leaders have pledged to join in the fight to "get to zero" through a number of goals.
The state of HIV/AIDS around the globe in 2013
UNAIDS has created a fact that gives a picture of where HIV/AIDS is today. While AIDS-related deaths and HIV-infections have fallen over the last decade, new infections still occur every day.
Check out the full fact sheet below.
In 2012, there were 35.3 million [32.2 million–38.8 million] people living with HIV.
- Since the start of the epidemic around 75 million [63 million–89 million] have become infected with HIV.
New HIV infections have fallen by 33% since 2001.
- Worldwide, 2.3 million [1.9 million–2.7 million] people became newly infected with HIV in 2012, down from 3.4 million [3.1 million–3.7 million] in 2001.
- New HIV infections among adults and adolescents decreased by 50% or more in 26 countries between 2001 and 2012.
New HIV infections among children have declined by 52% since 2001.
- Worldwide, 260,000 [230,000–320,000] children became newly infected with HIV in 2012, down from 550,000 [500,000–620,000] in 2001.
AIDS-related deaths
AIDS-related deaths have fallen by 30% since the peak in 2005.
- In 2012, 1.6 million [1.4 million–1.9 million] people died from AIDS-related causes worldwide compared to 2.3 million [2.1 million–2.6 million] in 2005.
- Since the start of the epidemic an estimated 36 million [30 million – 42 million] people have died of AIDS-related illnesses.
Antiretroviral therapy
In 2012, around 9.7 million people living with HIV had access to antiretroviral therapy in low- and middle-income countries.
- This represents 61% of people eligible for treatment under the 2010 WHO guidelines; and 34% of people eligible under the 2013 WHO guidelines.
HIV/TB
TB-related deaths in people living with HIV have fallen by 36% since 2004.
- TB remains the leading cause of death among people living with HIV.
US $18.9 billion was available from all sources for the AIDS response in 2012.
- The estimated annual need by 2015 is currently between US$ 22-24 billion.
In 2012, low- and middle-income countries increased domestic investments for HIV, accounting for 53% of all HIV related spending.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services - through its AIDS.gov website - has also joined in the fight to get to zero. While the department is not using the "Getting to Zero" theme for its World AIDS Day activities this year, the 2013 theme is "Shared Responsibility: Strengthening Results for an AIDS-Free Generation."
AIDS.gov shares numerous resources for organizers to plan a World AIDS Day event, and encourages people across the country to get involved - even if it's just wearing a red ribbon that day.
The #FacingAIDS Initiative is a social media project spearheaded by AIDS.gov to put faces to AIDS in the hopes of reducing stigma and promoting HIV testing. Participants are encouraged to take a photo of themselves holding a sign that describes how they are "facing AIDS" and post it to social media using the hashtag "#FacingAIDS."
Photos can also be submitted to AIDS.gov to be included in an online photo gallery.
#ZeroDiscrimination
Another social media campaign this year is the #ZeroDiscrimination campaign, which features Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. The project aims to get people to speak out for the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS to lead full and productive lives with dignity.
The campaign includes a number of materials, including posters, buttons and stickers that say "Open Up and Reach Out" and have the "#ZeroDiscrimination" hashtag.
More information about the #ZeroDiscrimination campaign is HERE.
In Hilllcrest on Sunday, Dec. 1, community members will gather to observe World AIDS Day at two events. The annual Dr. A. Brad Truax Awards Ceremony will be held at the San Diego LGBT Community Center at 3:30 pm. The free event honors individual who made outstanding to the struggle against the HIV/AIDS epidemic locally. Following the ceremony, participants will take a candle-lit walk to the Village Hillcrest Plaza for the annual Tree of Life event.
Mama's Kitchen's Tree of Life ceremony has become a tradition not to miss for many in the community. The 5 pm event will include guest speakers, music by the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus, a candlelight vigil, and the lighting of the holiday tree at the Village Hillcrest Plaza, located at 3955 Fifth Ave. The touching ceremony is free, and brings the local community together to remember those who have been lost to HIV/AIDS. More information is HERE.
In North County, community members are invited on Sunday to Pilgrim Church, located at 2020 Chestnut Ave. in Carlsbad. The 6 pm event will include free HIV testing, a speaker, music, a candlelight vigil, and dinner. More information is HERE.
At UCSD, a week of events, including a viewing of a portion of the AIDS quilt, will be held beginning Monday, Dec. 2. The AIDS Memorial Quilt will be available for viewing all day Monday, a number of other events are planned for the campus, including a wall of remembrance, survivors exhibits, a "lunch and learn," and more.
More information about World AIDS Day activities at UCSD is HERE.
Hundreds of other events will be taking place across the country and around the globe this weekend in observance of World AIDS Day. For events happening in the United States, visit AIDS.gov. Global events can be found on the UNAIDS website.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has signed a turnkey construction contract worth Dh 1.47 billion (US$ 400 million) for the expansion of the M-Station power and water desalination plant in the Jebel Ali area of the Emirate, according to news reports.
The M-Station, built at a cost of Dh 10 billion (US$2.7 billion), is the newest and largest power production and desalination plant in the UAE, with a total capacity of 2,060 MW of electricity and 140 million gallons of water per day, according to Trade Arabia news.
The station adopts the highest levels of availability, reliability, and efficiency, using the most advanced technologies in the world.
The new combined-cycle power plant will add a further 700 MW to the installed generating capacity of M-Station, boosting its capacity to 2,760 MW when the project is completed in 2018, said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the managing director and chief executive of Dewa after signing the deal with Dietmar Siersdorfer, the CEO of Siemens in the Middle East and UAE. The ceremony took place on the sidelines of Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (Wetex 2015) which opened today (April 21) in Dubai.
Dewa had earlier appointed Mott McDonald as the consultant for the project.
Al Tayer said Dewa was working to build sustainable systems for the production, transmission and distribution of electricity and water to the highest international standards, to contribute to the success of Dubai and the UAE.
"The expansion project includes adding two gas turbine generators, two heat recovery steam turbine generators, and one back pressure steam turbine. This will increase the plant's thermal efficiency from 82.4 to 85.8 per cent, which is considered to be one of the highest thermal-efficiency rates in the world," he added.
Siersdorfer said Siemens had been a trusted partner to Dewa for more than 30 years, and was committed to driving the sustainable development of Dubai and the UAE with clean and efficient power technologies.
"As Dubai looks forward to Expo 2020 and the realisation of its ambitious future vision, we are proud to be a significant contributor to essential infrastructure in the emirate," he added.
Jebel Ali Power Station includes M-Station, which is one of the main pillars that enable Dewa to provide Dubai with a very reliable, efficient and high quality electricity and water supply.
The utility firm works tirelessly to enhance its installed capacity, which is currently 9,656 MW of electricity and 470 million gallons of desalinated water per day. After completing this station, Dewa's installed capacity will reach 10,356 MW of electricity.

Our Favorite Rings of 2022
Posted in Jewelry By lucas hortonPosted on January 2, 2023 January 3, 2023
Favorite Rings of 2022
2022 was a crazy year for the jewelry industry! We had record inflation and high gas prices combined with the specter of war after Russia invaded Ukraine. But luckily, that didn't stop us from doing out thing! We still managed to create some stunning custom jewelry creations despite the economic issue. Which just goes to show you that people want their jewelry no matter what is happening in the world. We can definitely get behind that! And we look forward to 2023 being an even better year as the world recovers from the gas prices and inflation.
At the end of the year, we like to go through and marvel at the breadth and coolness of the custom jewelry creations we have made for people all over the world. We love being able to make people's jewelry dreams come true. The gratitude we receive sometimes is just amazing and it makes us feel good about what we do.
Below are our Favorite Rings of 2022…take a look and then contact us for your piece of custom jewelry!
This Cluster Ring was created using 2 rings that our customer never wore. We scrapped the metal and then re used the stones in the new ring. Do you have unused or broken jewelry lying around? If so, take this chance to have them turned into a beautiful new piece of jewelry.
We love this mother's ring. The 4 stones symbolize each of the 4 children our customer had. A smaller one for when they were born and a larger one. We used the birthstones for this, but almost any type of stone can be used. We could also remove rows if you had fewer children.
NERD rings are so much fun to make and have been one of our staples. We love being able to create custom wedding rings that you could never find at the mall. This is our Kryptonian Superman Wedding ring that we have added stones to. it is easily one of our Favorite Rings of 2022. We show it with alternating Sapphires and Diamonds, but almost any type of stone could be used.
We have made quite a few Star Wars Wedding and Engagement rings. But this is our favorite and easily made the list of our Favorite Rings of 2022 . We have Darth Vader's head on each shoulder and the Galactic Empire in the center with a 5mm Ruby. Other stones could be used though.
Floral Wedding and Engagement Rings are one of our most popular categories of custom jewelry. This is a remake of our flora tension set engagement ring. The original had a flat band, but in this one, we have made the shank out of vines. We show it with a diamond, but almost any type of stone could be used.
This 3 Stone Engagement Ring is an elegant offering of the past present and future engagement ring. Rather than have prong setting, we have bezels that flow from one stone to the other.
It is tough to narrow our Favorite Rings of 2022! We create so many cool rings that we love almost all of them! If you would like to see more of our custom engagement rings, click HERE.
Click HERE to learn more about custom jewelry, view our portfolio, or to contact us about any of our Favorite Rings of 2022. Why settle for the lame and overpriced jewelry from the retail stores when we can make something showing your style and personality? All to often people mistakenly think that custom jewelry is out of reach due to the cost. That is simply not true and many times, comparable items can easily cost less than at the mall. You know what they say. Once you go custom, you never go back. To the mall! Or..that is what we try to get people to say!

Bounded Specialization (and the limits of human collaboration)
November 13, 2017 November 13, 2017 Itamar
Differences are at the core of any synergetic collaboration effort. The whole ends up being larger than the sum of its part, only when the collaboration leverages the ways in which the collaborators are different, rather than the way in which they are the same.
Consider the difference between two people carrying together a rock that is too heavy for one person to carry on his own, and two people brainstorming a solution to an abstract problem that one of them was not able to solve on his own. The former collaboration utilizes their similarities, while the latter utilizes their differences.
While variation and differences naturally exist in nature, recent studies suggest that specialization, which I'll define here as the deliberate creation of differences for the purpose of more effective collaboration, is "a human innovation, drawing on our ability to learn and improve by practice, and to trade goods and services". Ironically, this innovation was inspired by misinterpretation of the ways other animals collaborate.
This innovation has enabled humans to undertake collaboration efforts at unprecedented levels of scope and complexity such as nation states and multinational corporations.
One particular form of specialization seems to be playing a rather pivotal role in such massive collaboration efforts — multi-tiered authority structures, or hierarchies for short.
To avoid a common confusion with "dominance", Ronald Heifetz, defines authority as "conferred power to perform a service". Viewed through a specialization-in-support-of-collaboration lens, both parties voluntarily agree to assume "leader" and "follower" roles: "Given your know-how, I give you power to make decisions to accomplish a service, and I'll follow these decisions as long as it appears to me that they serve my purposes."
The critical role that authority and hierarchy play in large-scale collaboration efforts is as a mechanism to encapsulate the massive complexity of such endeavors.
But like almost everything that's taken to its extreme form, specialization, especially of the authority type, has a dark side, which stems from the dichotomous leader/follower distinction.
The dark aspects on the leader side are often summarized as "power corrupts", but the follower side is not free of sin either. When we fully integrate the follower role into our identity, we are more prone to counterproductive behaviors such as developing "learned helpless", viewing ourselves as victims, not acknowledging our role in both creating the problem and finding and implementing the solution, and rebelling for the sake of rebellion.
In one of my favorite HBR pieces of all times, Chris Argyris described this dynamic beautifully in an organizational context:
There seem to be two rules. Rule number one is that employees are to be truthful and forthcoming about the world they work in, about norms, procedures, and the strengths and weaknesses of their superiors… Rule number two is that top-level managers, who play an intensely scrutinized role in the life of the company, are to assume virtually all responsibility for employee well-being and organizational success. Employees must tell the truth as they see it; leaders must modify their own and the company's behavior. In other words, employees educate, and managers act.
How do we manage the dark side of specialization and authority? Well, I don't think that it's by getting rid of authority altogether, and "going flat". That would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Until I come across an alternative solution that's capable of addressing the complexity encapsulation challenge, paraphrasing Winston Churchill's famous quote about democracy seems appropriate: "Hierarchy is the worst form of organizing, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time".
I can think of three things that we can do instead, all acting to constrain the dynamic in various ways so I'd like to group them under the banner of "bounded specialization".
1. Bounded by duration
Duration-based elections are a core component of modern democracies and help ensure that authority relationships are not indefinite. Progressive organizations are starting to follow suit as well and elect all members in authority positions, not just their board, to predefined terms.
2. Bounded by context
Distributing authority by narrowing its context can limit its hold on our identity. In a sense, this is an extension of the "separation of powers" concept in democracies where no single body or person has both legislative, executive and judiciary authorities. But it goes beyond that to ensure that we're followers in some contexts and leaders in others. For example: I trust my Doctor with my medical decisions, and my Financial Advisor with my financial decisions, but I am myself an Educator, so others trust me with the educational decisions for their kids. To bring this back to organizations, this can be done by unbundling the monolithic authority often given to managers (the executive trinity) into separate roles.
3. Bounded by focus
I find this one to be the most challenging to explain, but the most critical to understand, so here goes. The idea here is to blur the dichotomous distinction of roles and responsibilities between leader and follower, manager and individual contributor, or those who hold public office and those who don't. It's a little easier to explain in the civil context: consider the difference between a citizen of a country and a resident of a country. They both authorized the government of that country to make decisions on their behalf. They pay their taxes, and they abide by the law. But a citizen also has a right to vote, which requires her to play a more active role in the relationship as both Heifetz and Ret. General Stanley McChrystal point out:
"The concept of social contract may be at the cornerstone of democracy, yet democracy is not so easily achieved in light of our inclination to look to authority with overly expectant eyes. In part, democracy requires that average citizens become aware that they are indeed the principals and that those upon whom they confer power are their agents. They have also to bear the risks, the costs, and the fruits of shared responsibility and civic participation. " — Ronald Heifetz
"This critical caveat to Tocqueville's predictions of American democratic success cuts to the heart of what makes democracy tick: a political structure in which decision making authority is — in some ways — decentralized to the voters, rather than concentrated in a monarchic or oligarchic core, requires a high level of political awareness among the public in order to function. If people are not educated enough to make informed decisions at the polls, the feedback system on which democracy is premised will not work. " — Gen Stanley McChrystal
Now ask yourself this: "how much of our time do we invest in doing our civic duty?" not just paying our taxes and abiding by the law, but playing an active role in the civic process.
For many of us, myself included, the answer is typically "very little, to not at all". I believe that changing that extreme dynamic in which civil servants are spending 100% of their time on civil matters and many of us spend none of our time on civil matters is critical to managing the dark side of specialization. I'm not advocating for 50–50, that would be missing the point and eliminating all the benefits of specialization. But how about 95–5? Or 99–1? The pattern is applicable to the dynamic within the organization where the distinction is between people who are working in the org (individual contributors, doing the actual work) and people who are working on the org (managers, making the organization better).
I'll conclude with these unanswered questions: What if every individual contributor spent 5% of his time working on the org? What if every manager spent 5% of her time working in the org?

Photo measuring approx. 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
Click above to see the writing on the back. It identifies the photo as being from Italy, 1944. I believe the city is Naples, but I could be reading the handwriting incorrectly. The rest is hard to read. Are those names? Nicknames? Identification of their unit? I'm happy for any input.
I'm operating under the assumption that the soldiers are American and the boy is a local. I note the soldiers' race in the title, despite it being obvious from the image, because I can't help but feel it must have been an extra factor in their experience of this time, this place, this war. It's a treat to see them so warmly received by their new friend.
I wonder if these men were part of the 92nd Infantry. Otherwise known as Buffalo Soldiers.
I don't know, but that's definitely a possibility.

If it's the first Saturday in May, it's time for the annual global marijuana marches. This year, people in 231 cities will take to the streets to free the weed.
On Saturday, tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of marijuana aficionados and supporters will take to the streets of more than 200 towns and cities around the globe in the annual Million Marijuana March pro-legalization demonstrations. Long coordinated by veteran New York City marijuana (and ibogaine) activist Dana Beal and his organization Cures Not Wars [14], and lately joined by Canadian "Prince of Pot" Marc Emery and Cannabis Culture [15] magazine, the marches are now in their fourth decade.
Marches or other events will take place in most major North American and European cities, as well as numerous smaller towns and cities, especially college towns like Asheville, Boulder, and Chapel Hill. Latin America will also be represented, with rallies set for Buenos Aires and other Argentine cities, Lima, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, and Sao Paulo. Kingston, Jamaica, will also be on the marijuana map this year. Capetowners will march in South Africa, and marches are scheduled for cities in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Israel as well.
Check out the complete list of cities [16] to find the one nearest to you and then go out and exercise your rights. The Chronicle will be covering the event in San Francisco, and we will have scene reports from around the world next week.

Q: Packet data using the checksum? I have packet data, which I am storing as a public static List<byte> packet = new List<byte>();
The last byte of this is a checksum, and I am trying to figure out how to use this to check the packet data.
When I have a full packet, I run:
//get checksum
byte chcksm = packet[packet.Count - 1];
int sum = chcksm;

to get the value of the checksum byte.
Then I run:
//checksum calculation
public static byte ComputeAdditionChecksum(List<byte> data)
{
    byte sum = 0;
    unchecked // Let overflow occur without exceptions
    {
        foreach (byte b in data)
        {
            sum += b;
        }
    }
    return sum;
}

on packet to get the value of the whole packet, and save it in an int called packetSum.
Comparing these two vales, on a test packet,packetSum, the value of the whole packet, returns 76. And the value of the checksum byte returns 103.
Am I doing this wrong?
//edit, in thedocs, it says this about the checksum..
1 Byte checksum expressed as:
unsigned char CalcChkSum(unsigned char *MsgBlock,
int Length)
{
    unsigned char Total = 0x40;
    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < Length-1; i++)
    {
        Total -= MsgBlock[i];
    }
    return Total;
}

A: It looks like you're including the checksum in your calculation. Without seeing the underlying data with expected and actual results I'd say changing the loop as follows should fix the issue:
public static byte ComputeAdditionChecksum(List<byte> data)
{
    byte sum = 0x40;
    unchecked // Let overflow occur without exceptions
    {
        for (var i = 0; i < data.Count - 1;  i++)
        {
            sum -= data[i];
        }
    }
    return sum;
}

Utah & Arizona (Sep/Oct 2017) – Part 2 – Escalante area
October 18, 2017 rachel
The man at the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (GSENM) was very helpful and it was great to speak with someone who seemed to have direct experience with the sort of things we were planning. It was after midday by the time we turned on to Hole in the Rock Road and so a short hike to Zebra and Tunnel Canyons seemed to fit the bill. While eating lunch at the trailhead a number of other hikers returned, advising that the canyon was flooded. Trying to discern what that meant we spoke to a number of groups, the last 2 guys saying that there was swimming and it was freezing and no way through etc. Since we had wetsuits in the car we figured we may as well take them if it was truly that wet. I'm not sure if we were the first people to wear wetsuits in Zebra but we did look slightly ridiculous compared to the many other groups just stripping off and sucking up the cold water temperatures. In the end they were unnecessary, other than for saving our skin on the up climbs (the water was cold, and there was swimming, but the length of the swim was not that long).

We managed to make it up 2 or 3 obstacles before turning around at a 3m climb which Tom was sure he could have got up… but maybe not back down that safely.
The climb we didn't go up

Too much excitement for one day!
We then headed around the corner to Tunnel Canyon, which was also full of water, but we didn't bother putting the wetsuits back on for that.

We camped at the head of Egypt 1 canyon that night and marvelled at the first 'downclimb' which was pretty daunting.
Camp at the head of Egypt 1
Egypt 1 wasn't on our hitlist, the next day we headed for Egypt 3. It was full of mud, and a lot of squeezing, with the non-technical section never particularly deep. I wouldn't be rushing back to it.

Narrow section in Egypt 3
I think this is what they call Type 2 Fun.
The optional technical section had a semi-keeper pothole which Mel & Rich had told us about. When we got to it there was a lot of water. I gamely dropped into the pothole only to find it was neck deep! And right next to where we needed to climb out I couldn't touch the bottom. That wasn't part of the plan! Tom had a go next, and also couldn't touch the bottom where we needed to climb out, but could a metre to the right. After a couple of attempts I managed to launch myself from standing on his cupped hands across to the lip and haul myself out. I anchored a rope for Tom to climb out on. The second pothole was also wet and muddy and probably not something one person could have got out from. It was satisfying to get through the technical section after being somewhat frustrated by the mud & squeezing in the non-technical section.

Walking out it was windy and so we were keen to find a sheltered camping spot. Not far from the end of the Egypt Road we tucked ourselves in amongst some bushes. The wind just got worse so we ended up sitting in the car for the remainder of the afternoon and the evening. There was a brief period where we struggled to cook dinner outside before returning to the car to eat. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well as the wind kept up all night. Just before dawn it finally settled.
We had various options for the day, one of which was to do Neon Canyon as a day trip (originally we were planning to camp a night on the Escalante River). Initially when the alarm went off I said I didn't want to go following such an awful night. But after 20 minutes of contemplating I changed my mind and so soon we were eating breakfast and packing gear for the day. It was not long after 8am when we left the Egypt Trailhead. Buoyed (?!) by conversations with other groups that had camped out that it had been a horrendous night with the unseasonable wind for them too. We were a bit scared by the track notes and warnings of a long day which had the pleasant effect of making Tom faff less. However, we managed to do the technical section of the canyon in just under 2 hours (compared to 7h that a group we spoke to on the way in had taken!?). I was very pleased Tom had convinced me we should drop in at the North Fork rather than the earlier entry options on Tom Jones' track notes. For the first time in the trip we had lunch at lunchtime rather than mid-afternoon.
Near the start of the hike. Neon is in the slot in front of the dome.

We had a leisurely lunch at the Golden Cathedral, including watching a solo canyoner rap down, before the long slog back to the car. All up 8.5 hour round trip. (including 1.5 hr lunch?)
I was worried about getting back out on the Egypt Road and so wanted to get out that evening rather than camp at the scenic trailhead. So off we went, planning to camp somewhere in the vicinity of Spooky/Peek-a-boo Canyons. Using the Kelsey guide we headed off on the Early Weed Road looking for a nearby campsite. Quickly we came to a sandy wash which Tom sped across only to find we couldn't get out of it. At this point we discovered we had a rear-wheel drive car. A group of 3 women noticed our problem and stopped to help. After letting the tyres down a lot and with pushing we managed to get back onto the road. The car had inbuilt tyre pressure monitoring, and apparently the front left tyre was now at 17psi (instead of 36, the others were in the mid-20s). I was not happy to keep driving round on that and insisted we headed into Escalante to pump the tyres up. So 42km later we were in Escalante as the sun had set, on a Friday night, with no accommodation organised. After driving past numerous motels with 'no vacancy' signs we managed to get a tent site at an RV Park. The hot shower was greatly appreciated, as well as the USB charging points at the site, and the lack of wind to keep us awake all night!
We weren't going to drive all the way back out to Spooky & Peek-a-boo so we decided to head for Calf Creek Falls instead. Getting there early in the day meant we were able to get one of the first-come, first-serve campsites. The hike to Lower Calf Creek Falls was busy but the falls were spectacular. Yet again we underestimated how long it was going to take and didn't bring lunch so we had another mid-afternoon lunch when we got back to camp.
Popular hike to Lower Calf Creek Falls
But with the right angle you can make it look like you're the only one there!
Our final day in the GSENM we headed out on the Old Sheffield Road (Spencer Flat Road) to do Upper Red Breaks Canyon. We almost didn't get there as the car struggled to get up one steep, rutted out hill, but after 3 attempts we were through. Other than that one section the road was good quality. We descended the East Fork of the Upper West Fork of Red Breaks and ascended the Upper West Fork. The East Fork was ok, but the West Fork was stunning. We had to work pretty hard in the last really tight narrows, which were both squeezy and an up-climb. A beautiful canyon.

Harry and Meghan are trying to rebrand themselves. But they should take a breather | Arwa Mahdawi
The Sussexes have reportedly collaborated with a book about their split from the royal family. So much for pursuing a new life of privacy
The Sussexes' noble experiment in living a quiet life, free from the glare of publicity attached to a royal title, continues. First they started a war with the British tabloids, fighting them over the misuse of private information in court while grandly declaring a new policy of "zero engagement" with a number of outlets. Then they moved to Los Angeles, a paparazzi-free zone perfect for people trying to reclaim their privacy. Now they have reportedly cooperated with a tell-all biography – Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family – that is coming out in August.
According to a press release, Finding Freedom dispels "the many rumours and misconceptions that plague the couple on both sides of the pond" and was written with "unique access" and "the participation of those closest to the couple". It is unclear how involved Harry and Meghan were with the book, but the Mail on Sunday claims they sat for interviews with the writers, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand (representatives for the couple deny this). Given their record, one imagines that, if they weren't happy with the biography coming out, they would have issued a statement unequivocally saying so.

Father of 'Jihadi Jack' told of 'personable, engaging, humorous' son
May 24, 2019, 4:27 pm Updated: May 24, 2019, 4:29 pm
John Letts and Sally Lane (Yui Mok/PA)
A Muslim convert dubbed Jihadi Jack was a "personable" young man who used to sleep next to his football before he switched his obsession to religion, a court has heard.
After he travelled to Syria, Jack Letts' parents also noticed he became more "reserved" and no longer told them "I love you" in his calls home, the Old Bailey was told.
Organic former John Letts, 58, and his wife Sally Lane, 56, are on trial accused of sending him money despite having every reason to believe he had joined Islamic State.
Jack Letts travelled to Syria, the court heard (CTPSE/PA)
Jack Letts was just 18 when he left home in Oxford and travelled abroad, married the daughter of a high ranking tribesman in Iraq and moved to Syria, jurors have heard.
In March 2015, police visited his parents' home and formally warned them that they risked prosecution if they sent their son money or property.
In a police statement, John Letts said he had enjoyed a good relationship with Jack who was "very personable, engaging and humorous".
As a youngster, he had aspirations to be an artist or footballer but lost focus on his A Levels because of his obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
He said: "He had a phase being obsessed with football and would sleep next to his football.
The case is being heard at the Old Bailey (Nick Ansell/PA)
"The same thing happened with religion.
"He started to become interested in what it is to be a Muslim some three years ago.
"He would read all things to do with Islam.
"Jack would want to out-do people.
"If he was to attempt something he would have to try to be the best at it."
John Letts told how Jack's old friends faded away and he had new friends from the mosque who would occasionally visit the family home in Oxford.
He said Jack had been "very much a pacifist" and would not even "hurt a tree" but became upset at the situation in Syria and the suffering of its people.
He said: "As a Muslim, I think Jack felt this deeply."
John Letts told police his son went to Jordan because he was keen to learn Arabic.
Before he left, the defendant told how his friend Anwar Belhimer had expressed "concern" that Jack wanted to go to Syria and had been associating with someone called Abdullah who appeared to have extreme views.
About four months after his departure, John Letts learned from Lane that their son had in fact moved on to Syria, the court heard.
He told police: "He seemed happy but reserved.
"We always used to say 'I love you' before hanging up but he avoided saying it."
John Letts and former fundraising officer Lane have denied three charges of funding terrorism.
John Letts told police he had no reason to believe his son had been involved in fighting, having said he was not with Isis.

What are its key frameworks?
Are you familiar with the expressions fab lab, makerspace or future classroom lab? Like those spaces, the Aula nova has been conceived as a welcoming, flexible place to work in groups. The methodology is oriented towards enhancing learning, developing creativity and innovation and fostering student autonomy.
A space to showcase your work. There are wheeled chairs with integrated desks which can be moved around so that everyone can face each other, a presentation desk with a small adjustable standing desk, a lectern with a microphone, an interactive blackboard where you can write with regular chalk, felt-tip pens or an electronic pen, and a recording booth.
This area is equipped with adjustable furniture and divided into different spaces. Here you will have the chance to try out different ways of organizing the space to foster interaction with different resources: tables with individual boards which also serve to divide up the space, a comfortable booth with sofas and a screen or interchange diamond desks with a power bank to charge mobile devices.
Here you can work individually, focusing on creativity and in communicative skills to create videos, do graphic design or experiment with visual thinking. You have a green screen, two HD graphic tablets and video and photo editing software (Adobe CC).
A workspace with varied resources and tools related to mechanics and electronics to investigate and learn in an informal way, sketching, testing and creating a product to propose a solution to a problem or need.
Furnished with two working tables and chairs, this area is fit to work collaboratively developing projects and creating small objects using the resources available (Arduino module, 3D-printed parts and robotics among others).
A theory of learning based on experience and observation, blocks that individuals use to construct their knowledge and understanding of the world.
Makerspace is a constructivist and constructionist movement that acts as an incentive for inquiry and creation using the materials and resources available or creating our own.
An opportunity to evidence creativity, application and problem solving as well as develop abilities geared towards innovation.
The redefinition of literacy implies the creation of opportunities and providing strategies for improving access, use and critical assessment of the means in our information society.

Water is the foundation of society. It sustains life, fuels agriculture and food production, supports our economy, and is crucial to the natural environment.
So how do we build resilience, efficiency and adaptability into our systems, networks and catchments to ensure we all receive clean water, sustainably, by the year 2065?
TWENTY65 are working in partnership across the water sector to tailor water systems so that they positively impact health, the environment, the economy and society.
The first TWENTY65 podcast 'Bursting Pipes' debates the recent cold weather leaving thousands of households without water and how this relates to wider issues of how society values and prioritises water, and what we need to do differently.
TWENTY65 is paving the way for a future that is inspired and enabled by research; that collaboratively and coherently accelerates innovation and generates a dynamic and energised water sector that delivers sustainable tailored water solutions that positively impact public health, the environment, the economy and society.
The TWENTY65 consortium proposal included flexible resources to allow for exploration and development of opportunities that were not foreseeable at the time of preparation. This resource sets out details of how this funding may be accessed.


Another pair of confusing words, fill and file are quite confusing, especially when used with -ing attached! There is a difference of just a 'L' and that makes the whole meaning different. The meaning is easy to understand and remember, and today let's fill our mind with these 2 new words and few examples where we can use them.
Fill as we know is to occupy a space with something. For example, fill the bottle with water.
· I will be filling in for him for next two weeks.
· He was filling the bag with chocolates when I saw him.
· Her words were filled with emotion and love.
· I went to the dentist to fill up the gaps in my teeth.
· We made the pillow thick by filling the cloth with cotton.
· Fill out the form quickly and submit it.
Here, fill out, fill up and fill in are some phrasal verbs.
· When you fill something to the brim, it becomes "full".
A file (noun) is something that stores text or images or any form of data. For example, an MS word document is a file. It is a 'soft' copy. A resume 'MyResume' is a file with the name 'MyResume'. Similarly, file can be a hard copy too.
Filing as the present participle of file means the action in present. For example, "I was filing the documents with my grandpa today." You can re-write the sentence as – "I was helping my grandpa file the documents today" and it would mean the same.
· Organising documents in a proper way – filing the papers.
· Submitting set of papers for tax – filing tax returns.
· Filing your tax returns can be a gruelling task unless you have agents to do the job.
· Let's do the filing today, so that we can concentrate on the presentation tomorrow.
As we see, there are plenty of ways in which file and filing both can be used. With a single 'l' missing, the words are easy to be misread, and one has to be careful in readying them.
The conclusion – The words fill and file are in no way related but can be confused because of the "looks".
· Filling the cake with strawberries will give a nice flavour. File the ends of the cake to make it even.
· My heart fills with respect for those who file their taxes properly and on time.
· Instead of filing a complaint right away, fill up the form and wait for the authorities to respond.
· You don't have to fill in for him, let him organise the files when he comes back.
· A case has been filed against those who have filled the area with trash.
· Hope this article filled your heart with joy and you will file it with your personal favourites.

An Unflinching Guide To Biden's Immigration Fiasco
An Unflinching Guide To Biden's Immigration Fiasco
By RealClearWire
June 29, 2021 at 12:49pm
By Charles Lipson for RealClearPolitics
The crisis of illegal immigration—to give this calamity its true name—is growing increasingly grave. The reason is no mystery. The Biden administration replaced policies that staunched the illegal flow of migrants with policies that actually encourage it.
Instead of securing the U.S. border, the administration says it wants to deal with the "root cause," desperation in Central America.
That won't work for two reasons.
First, the administration doesn't have the tools to markedly change conditions in Central America.
Second, even if the policies could stimulate economic growth, improve safety, and reduce corruption—spoiler alert, they can't—they won't have any significant impact for years.
Under even the most optimistic scenarios, they couldn't reduce immigration anytime soon. It's a policy based on a mirage.
The Biden team is certainly right that bad conditions in Mexico and Central America drive immigration. But it's easy to show that's the wrong explanation for our current crisis. The reason, as all social scientists know, is that "you cannot explain change with a constant."
What is constant here? Poverty, corruption, and danger in Mexico and Central America. Since those "root causes" have not changed over the past year, they cannot explain the dramatic rise in illegal immigration since Biden took office.
By subscribing, you agree to receive emails from ThePoliticalInsider.com and that you've read and agree to our privacy policy and to our terms and conditions. You further agree that the use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy and Terms of Use.
What does explain it? The administration's decision not to secure the southern border and to give up any serious effort at preventing illegal immigration.
RELATED: Crenshaw Says Biden And Harris 'Like' Border Crisis – 'That's Why They Don't Want To Solve It'
Migrants have gotten the message, and they are coming north in unprecedented numbers.
The media, always eager to protect their favorite political party, never asked Vice President Kamala Harris three crucial questions after her "root causes" trip to Guatemala and Mexico.
Can the U.S. really do much to improve conditions there?
Would relatively modest improvements have much impact on migration? And, crucially,
How long before these policies can have a major impact, if they work at all?
Back in the real world, the best Biden-Harris can expect is some small, slow improvements. Desirable as those are for humanitarian reasons, they would have no effect on migration for decades.
Meanwhile, the flood continues unabated. When the administration repeats its false mantra "the border is closed," they should add the Monty Python phrase "Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge."
Normally, the flood of illegals would recede at least briefly during the summer because Mexico's scorching temperatures make the trek so dangerous.
This year, however, the caravans keep coming. Why?
Because migrants see a window of opportunity that might close if the U.S. comes to its senses. So do "coyotes," who profit from trafficking humans and drugs.
They need not worry. The Biden administration is locked into its catastrophic policies and its lovefest with their party's left wing, which refuses even to acknowledge the problem and would rebel at tough policies to prevent illegal crossings.
They refuse even to call them "illegal." Too harsh. Too accurate.
It is unclear whether administration officials actually wanted more illegal immigrants or simply wanted to undo everything Donald Trump did and hope for the best.
Whatever their goals, they quickly unwound all Trump's immigration policies without checking to see what was working. They didn't talk with border patrol agents (they are now firing the leaders) or consult with elected officials along the border—not even the Democrats.
They didn't ask anyone in Mexico City if the Trump policies were working and sustainable. They didn't check with development experts to see if aid would have much impact.
Due diligence was replaced with utter negligence.
What immigration policies did the Biden administration change? What are the results so far?
RELATED: Trey Gowdy Warns That Securing The Border Is An 'Indispensable Prerequisite' To Immigration Reform
Trump's policy: Build an impermeable wall in the most accessible locations, despite strong opposition from Democrats.
Biden's policy: Stop building the wall on day one. Stop building even portions that were already funded and under construction. Better to waste the money than to complete a successful project.
The result: Gaping holes made illegal crossing easy. Ceasing construction sent a powerful signal to potential migrants that U.S. policy was now much more lax.
The Rhetoric
Trump's policy: We will keep you out of the country. Migrants and coyotes believed him because he also implemented tough anti-immigration policies.
Biden's policy during the campaign: We are a welcoming country; Trump's policies are inhumane. During a 2019 Democratic debate on ABC, he told Univision's Jorge Ramos, "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come.'"
Biden's policy two months into office: You can still come illegally, but please wait a little. As Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of Homeland Security, put it, "We are not saying, 'Don't come.' We are saying, 'Don't come now.'"
Biden's policy five months into office: Please don't come.
The result: The Biden-Harris "don't come" message has gone unheeded. Without concrete policies to back it up, people don't believe it.
Remain in Mexico While Seeking Asylum in the U.S.
Trump's policy: Negotiated agreement Mexico, requiring asylum seekers to stay there until their U.S. application was decided. Formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols.
Trump's policy: Get Mexico to guard the U.S. border. As a 2019 Reuters headline put it, "Mexico says it has deployed 15,000 forces in the north to halt-U.S.-bound migration."
Biden's policy: End the agreement with Mexico, which also withdrew its troops, leaving the border essentially unguarded on both sides.
The result: After Biden switched policies, hundreds of thousands of additional asylum seekers have crossed into the U.S. instead of waiting in Mexico. Since only a federal judge can decide their cases and since the backlog is now four-to-six years and growing, these migrants are simply released into the U.S. and told to return in a few years for a court date. Some do; some don't. Those who do attend are mostly turned down and deported.
Refuse Entry Because of Communicable Diseases
Trump's policy: Under Title 42 of the U.S. Code, customs officers were authorized to prohibit entry of adults who might have a communicable disease such as COVID. Almost three-quarters of adult migrants at the border were refused entry.
Biden's policy: End the use of Title 42 this summer.
The result: The change will lead to an immediate surge in illegal immigrants. No one knows if that will lead to more communicable diseases and preventable deaths.
Grant Non-Immigrant Visas
Trump's policy: Sharply limited visas because they posed "a risk of displacing and disadvantaging United States workers." (Proclamations 10014, 10052)
Biden's policy: Revoked Trump's policy a month after taking office because it prevents family reunification and "harms industries in the United States that utilize talent from around the world."
The result: The numbers of visa admittees will jump sharply, returning to Obama-era levels. According to the State Department's Visa Office: "From fiscal years 2016 through 2020, immigrant visas … declined from 617,752 to 240,526. Nonimmigrant visas declined from 10,381,491 to 4,013,210. Among specific immigrant categories, visas for immediate relatives fell from 315,352 to 108,292." The Biden administration is moving back to the higher figures.
Prohibition on Entry From Some Countries, aka 'Muslim Travel Ban'
Trump's policy: Utter chaos shortly after inauguration when he announced Executive Order 13769, "Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry."
Most countries on the banned list had majority-Muslim populations. After courts injunctions, Trump issued a replacement order, added some non-Muslim countries, and faced still more legal difficulties.
The administration's stated rationale was the countries were not banned for religious reasons (there were lots of Muslim-majority countries not on the banned list) but solely because they could not reliably vet travelers and identify terrorists, which were standard U.S. requirements. In 2018, a 5-4 vote of the Supreme Court allowed the Trump program to go into force.
Biden's policy: Ending the court-approved travel ban on Inauguration Day.
Result: No problems with Biden's policy, so far.
Will There Be Political Consequences?
Whatever the motives for Biden's immigration policies, the results have been a fiasco.
Nothing is halting the tsunami of illegal immigrants, dangerous drugs, and gang members from coming.
Nothing is stopping the human traffickers from scaling up their despicable trade or molesting women and children en route.
The effects will be felt across the U.S. as more illegal immigrants move into communities, more gang members set up operations, and more opioids and hard drugs hit the streets.
Biden and the Democrats are likely to pay a political price, even as the media downplays the issue.
You can already hear yelps from Democrats representing border districts.

Among national figures, the worst hit will be Vice President Harris, who has been the hapless point person for these hapless policies.
In Harris' defense, she has been handed a no-win job.
The administration created the problem, and there is no way they can ameliorate it without infuriating their base.
To change policies dramatically would be to concede a huge, unforced error. Worse, it would force Biden to revert to some of Trump's policies because they actually worked.
That won't happen.
Instead, Biden will cling to his current, failed policies as long as he can.
Polls already show voters are unhappy.
What they want is a government that fulfills its primary responsibility: provide citizens with a safe environment.
They believe our country—any country—has the right to decide who can enter and to demand that they come here legally.
If this bunch of politicians won't meet that responsibility, many voters are bound to think, "Maybe I should vote for somebody who will."

We are the sisters behind Waterlily Homes. We emigrated from the Soviet Union with our parents in 1977. Our family settled in Houston, and in 1984 we became American citizens. Even though we are 7 years apart, we have always been very close. We even decided that we had to live in the same city (3 houses apart), and chose our beloved Austin to call home. We are each other's best friend and in 2005, we became professional business partners when we launched our home renovation and construction company. Since then we have remodeled old homes, managed rental properties, and 5 years ago, embarked on new construction projects in the Austin area. The path to our partnership took a circuitous route. Before becoming home builders, we pursued different careers, stayed home with kids for a while, and then finally decided we would be happiest working together. The real estate industry in Austin was the perfect fit for our love of design and our love for this city. We realized very quickly that we also love building homes.
After finishing her Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, Liza began a career as a professional engineer at General Dynamics (now Lockheed). Her work entailed fatigue and fracture analysis of fighter jets. In 1995, Liza and her family moved to Austin, and she pursued painting and jewelry-making. Her strengths and experiences in both the "right" and "left" brain areas allow her to bring a unifying vision and to our projects. Her experience as a professional engineer doing structural analysis brings a level of expertise beyond the typical general contractor. Her time spent studying painting and art has made her incredibly skilled with color and interior design elements.
Tina completed a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematical Sciences at Texas A&M and went on to earn her Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Texas at Austin. Tina's thesis centered on experimental condensed matter physics with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging microscopy. She and her husband knew they wanted to stay in Austin (as just about everyone who comes here does) and since she was more in love with this city than with physics, she briefly worked at AMD before staying home with her two kids. Tina's experience in math and experimental physics gives her a deep understanding of construction principles and an excellent eye for detail.


A new patent owned by Facebook has been discovered by Metro. The patent essentially details technology that triggers the microphone of a smartphone to start recording ambient audio. Some form of data based on that recording is then sent back to the company. This sure sounds creepy and straight out of a Black Mirror episode.
The notion of Facebook spying on its users is not new. There have been theories doing rounds on the internet that claim Facebook already records ambient audio. Many people claim that they have deleted the Facebook and Messenger apps from their smartphones after coming across targeted ads for products they had recently discussed on calls. With this patent, Facebook is just proving these theories right.
The patent application was published on 14th June and details how Facebook plans on remotely triggering the microphone of smartphones. According to the patent, Facebook would embed high-pitched audio signals in "broadcast content" that would be inaudible to humans. While the human ears won't be able to discern it, a client device as a smartphone would be able to hear it. This signal would essentially instruct the phone to start recording ambient audio and send "ambient audio fingerprint" back to Facebook for analysis.
It is common practice to file patents to prevent aggression from other companies. Because of this, patents tend to focus on future-looking technology that is often speculative in nature and could be commercialized by other companies.
Surely, Facebook would never use methods to gain insights into its users' habits to earn money from advertisers.

Personal Favorites: Sad Albums
July 26, 2016 · by The Prog Mind	· in Musings.	·
Sadness. Most people I know cannot stand sad music. I've tried to show some of my favorite albums to past coworkers, only to have them complain about how depressing or sad the music is, even when the lyrics weren't specifically sad or depressing. Sad music, to me, is deep music, though. I really can't stand overly happy music. Don't get me wrong: I love triumphant, uplifting. I love ethereal music. I love music that evokes truths and light. However, music that is happy in an empty way simply depresses me. Sad music, though, causes me to feel. There's just nothing better than identifying and empathizing with the artists; to feel their pain, and to know that they have felt my pain and despair. Music doesn't get much deeper than that. Here's my list. It is in no specific order.
Memento – "Beginnings"
You've heard me mention Memento's debut "Beginnings". It is not progressive, but it's content has affected me greatly. This album is based around the feelings of the artist after his sister was raped. She then killed herself over not only the pain and depression, but also the judgment of the Christians in her family, including her father and other brother. This album is an outcry against God and his followers. The artist compares himself to Jesus Christ as the crown of thorns was crushed into his skull, assuming that Christ felt betrayal and ignorance from his Father. I could go on and on about the content here. Obviously, I am a Christian, but I feel every Christian should hear this album and take it to heart.
Lunatic Soul II
The whole story of Lunatic Soul is a sad affair; depressing, even. I honestly should do a spotlight through each album. However, for my purposes now, I find Lunatic Soul II to be the saddest of the four. This album doesn't sound sad, necessarily; and the story isn't as shocking as, say, "Walking on a Flashlight Beam". This album even sounds celestial and ghostly to beautiful effect. Yet, the last few songs are some of the saddest tracks I've ever heard, as the protagonist is forgotten by his loved ones and left to wander everlastingly.
Pain of Salvation – "Remedy Lane"
I recently released my spotlight for this Pain of Salvation album, so I hope you are familiar with the story. This album is absolutely agonizing at times, as the protagonist experiences warped sexual experiences, the loss of a child, and the breakdown of a relationship after that. Things keep getting worse and worse. Read my spotlight for more.
Pineapple Thief – "Little Man"
The Pineapple Thief and I have a varied relationship. I often love their music, but the lyrics rarely move me. "Little Man", however, is different. This album is about the loss of a child during pregnancy, and the emotional fallout connects with me on an incredibly personal basis.
Fates Warning – "Disconnected"
I did a spotlight on Fates Warning's "Disconnected". Anyways, this album is slightly more depressing than sad, per se, but I included it because the lyrical content really speaks to me because it relates to families, specifically the writer's relationship with his father as his father is about to die. If you know me at all, that kind of content connects with me greatly.
Seventh Wonder – "Mercy Falls"
This could be one of the saddest albums ever. Seventh Wonder's "Mercy Falls" has been on my spotlight list for some time, but the problem is that it is quite over the top while also being incredibly sad. If you aren't familiar, it revolves around a man being in a coma after an accident. His father, son, and wife each come to speak personally with him, and we get to hear his thoughts about all this. The song with his son is particularly poignant. The end, however, throws a few twists your way that will keep this album on your mind for weeks.
Hourglass – "Oblivious to the Obvious"
Hourglass' "Oblivious to the Obvious" is a monster double album. It is very depressing as it examines the mundane life of the protagonist and the emotional abuse that he causes in the lives of his family. This is some deep, very personal stuff. The album is not as sad, however, because there is quite the triumphant ending, which makes this a roller coaster rather than a one way ride to hell.
Hibernal – "The Machine"
Thinking about Hibernal's debut album "The Machine" gives me goosebumps. It's like watching a train wreck, as the protagonist sells himself and loses all control over himself and his life. He loses everything to the machine. Lessons abound in this awesome sci-fi story, but you will feel the emotional weight of this story for a long time. The excellent voice actors really add to the effect. I do have a spotlight that I should get online soon.
Steven Wilson – "Hand.Cannot.Erase."
Technically, I connect more with the lyrical content of Steven Wilson's "Raven", but "Hand.Cannot.Erase." is simply sadder. Songs like "Routine" are incredibly sad, not only because of the loss involved, but also because of the daily grind and the fixation on that pain. That's what I feel is the saddest thing about Wilson's stories: They are so personal, and we get to see the mundane details that we recognize in our own lives. I think that is why his lyrics speak to so many people.
Riverside – "Reality Dream Trilogy"
Riverside. Their original Reality Dream Trilogy (cheating, I know) is one long story that has had a personal effect on me. The story of a struggling relationship is so very real and relatable, but it's the inner turmoil that is revealed to us that really grabs my heart. His feelings are often my feelings. His fears are often my fears. His darkness is often the darkness that threatens to envelop me. These albums, then, are not just "favorites", but life-altering masterworks that transcend even the term "art". They are quite simply family. My spotlights for "Out of Myself" and "Second Life Syndrome" and "Rapid Eye Movement" are available on the site.
Southern Cross- "From Tragedy"
Another heartbreaker here, Southern Cross' "From Tragedy" is a look into a life that is falling apart at the seams. We don't really get an explanation as to why until the last few songs. At this point, we get to see a heartrending experience that is the starting point of the storm in the protagonist's life. Suddenly, the pain, ruin, and emptiness that fill the album are very understandable and even expected.
Votum – "Harvest Moon"
All of Votum's albums are filled with sadness; however, it is "Harvest Moon" that really cranks up the story to depressing levels. I also feel like this album completely mastered their ability to add sadness to the music itself, offering sad lyrics and dark music together. I'm not 100% sure of the story here (Votum albums tend to be complex), but the feelings and atmosphere are undeniable.
Morph – "Sintrinity"
Morph's album "Sintrinity" is an anomaly. It's incredibly sad, but almost gleefully so. The story is one of betrayal and adultery, and a subsequent murder. The perspective here is about the ruin and pain that all of this creates, and also about the decisions we make every day. The end, however, is rather hopeful.
Porcupine Tree – "Deadwing"
I could have added all the Porcupine Tree albums here, but I didn't want to do more than one album per band. "Deadwing", however, is my favorite of theirs, and the stories therein are all sad in a very human way. They represent very realistic people and the problems that their "deadwings" cause them. They just cannot seem to fly and their lives trudge on in pain, brokenness, and despair. You can read more about it in my spotlight.

Q: Is there a way of splitting values of dictionary key? I have a large json file that contains information about the transfer information of ip addresses. One or more blocks within a network address can be transferred to another entity. I want to further map a transfer to individual entity it that participated in the transfer.
Transfers =[{
        "original_block": "87.118.128.0/18",
        "transferred_blocks": "87.118.144.0/22, 87.118.164.0/22",
        "from": "ITD Network SA",
        "to": "Bulgarian Telecommunications Company Plc.",
        "date": "16/07/2014",
        "transferType": "POLICY"
        }, {
        "original_block": "89.25.0.0/17",
        "transferred_blocks": "89.25.40.0/21, 89.25.52.0/22,
                 89.25.56.0/21, 89.25.100.0/22, 89.25.124.0/22",

        }]

with open ('Transfers','r') as t_list:#loads the json file
    dlist = json.load(t_list)

for k, v in dlist:
    dlist[k] = v("transferred_blocks").split(",")
The expected output is the following one:
dlist =[{
    "original_block": "87.118.128.0/18",
    "transferred_blocks": "87.118.164.0/22",

    "to": "Bulgarian Telecommunications Company Plc.",
    "date": "16/07/2014",
    "transferType": "POLICY"
    }]

A: Just use a list comprehension to iterate over each of the dicts in dlist, then split the ip address list under transferred_blocks based on comma, finally create a new dict from the original dict with the updated ip addr
res = [dict(d, transferred_blocks=ip) for d in dlist for ip in d['transferred_blocks'].split(', ')]
print (json.dumps(res, indent=4))

Output
