Part of Robert Montgomery's "Hammersmith Poem".*
May 04, 2019 by Anoushka Yeoh in digital, family, memoir, culture
I saw Bo Burnham's wonderfully empathetic movie, "Eighth Grade" recently. It's a coming-of-age movie which depicts the complicated business of growing up in the digital age, and with anxiety. The more I reflect on it, the more I think every parent of young children should go and see it. Parents of older children should go and see it with their children, and have a conversation afterwards. We've had to wait a long time for a think piece on social media that has nuance, and Burnham, who started his career as a 16 year old on YouTube, delivers one thanks to his specific perspective.
As an anxious introvert, Kayla, the central character, has to navigate the cognitive dissonance of the curated "Kayla" that she presents online and her significantly less self-assured IRL self. She is certainly addicted to her screens, in the casual, but absolute way that most teens (and, let's face it, many adults) are. Burnham, however, resists any temptation to be didactic. The strain of it is wholly there, but so is its pervasiveness. Ultimately, social media is a culture in which our young people and, we all, exist and it cannot be denied. Some scenes allow for the viewer's interpretation. I like to think that Kayla's disfluent YouTube videos articulate a kind of manifesto for the kind of person she'd like to be: one who recognises her own strengths and has more self-esteem and confidence. She's not there, yet (and she further refines her message in her second time capsule "message from the past"), but she's stating her goals and taking proactive steps (and missteps, of course) towards them.
As useful and nourishing as I found the film, I was not an anxious child and, falling somewhere between "Xennial" or "Generation X", the complexities of reconciling online and offline existences with adolescence did not resonate. "Social media", in my day, revolved around the reassuring curves and heft of the cream coloured rotary phone, parked in the corner of our living room. I conversed with friends for long hours, switching ears to allow the sweat to evaporate, winding and unwinding the coiled cord around a finger and feeling the impress of the handset on my ear, long after it had been replaced (giving little thought to the enormous phone bills that would follow and my poor Mum's feelings about that).
From the far distant future of my adulthood, I can hardly imagine what we talked about. Everything? Nothing? We just hung out, tenuously linked by a twisted pair of copper wires, but I recall how...satisfying it was. I remember one friend in particular, a boy (because in my early teens, I hung out mainly with boys). He lived a complicated life which, over the course of many hours and days, we attempted to resolve into something less painful, until he decided that I was the answer. Those marathon calls seem incredible now, where an unsolicited call arrives like an insult.
We also had no computer at home. The only person I knew with a home computer was my best friend, Kelly. Her dad worked in IT and had a BBC Micro set up behind the sofa in his living room. We were far more likely to set up over-complicated role-playing games like "travel agent", complete with hand-drawn posters and incomprehensible, authentic forms donated by a real agent, or choreographed dance routines to the Bangles' "Manic Monday". But sometimes, we played rounds and rounds of Chuckie Egg, stopping only when violet ladders and green platforms floated before us like a weird augmented reality. We played Space Invaders, too. I loved/hated the way it caused the thumping tempo of our hearts to increase in concert with the accelerating crunches of the game's soundtrack.
Another BBC Micro lurked in the corner of one of my middle school teacher's classrooms (the delightfully-named Mrs Truelove). It was exclusively used to play the educational adventure game, "Granny's Garden". In my mind's eye, I can still see the oddly terrifying screen which appeared when you made a bad choice and the witch "got" you (my advice: don't look in the pot). As a rule follower, I also remember the thrill of telling the computer that you didn't want to go in the cave, or accept the smug blue raven's help - quiet (and ultimately futile) acts of rebellion.
Throughout my primary and secondary years, my Speak & Spell or Little Professor stirred more emotions within me than any real computer that I encountered - unlike, perhaps, my husband and his best friend who were committed game players and then programmers in their youths. It needed the arrival of the internet to pique my interest in what I had previously considered either a glorified game box or word processor. For me, that happened at university. Attracted by the novelty of the enterprise, I got an email address earlier than many of my peers (managing to snag the user name "diagnoalley" on Hotmail) and spent much more time in front of a screen. This was primarily because my dissertation was a literature review on gene therapy, so I conducted some of my research online, while my colleagues sweated over experiments in the lab. At this point in time, the page loading process provided ample opportunity to go and make the endless cups of tea that punctuated my studies.
If, as one of the "Eighth Grade" characters remarks, merely getting Snapchat in fifth grade (10-11 years) rather than as a freshman (14-15 years), results in being "wired differently", those of us who straddle the analogue and digital have a mountain to climb if we are to understand and support our young people in their digital adventuring. My children are still young, but this is absolutely terrain that we will have to navigate, particularly with our YouTube-obsessed youngest. I am a digitally and technologically-inclined adult, however, so perhaps that mountain is Ben Nevis, rather than Everest. In fact, as a 40 year old adult, I suppose I spend too much time online. But the last few years have been a lesson in not making sweeping generalisations when it comes to online activity. Being a special needs parent is an inherently isolating experience and also creates practical and logistical stumbling blocks in the path of real life connections. There is also the need to seek out shared experience, community, and information to guide the sometimes extreme form of parenthood that special needs demands. In these regards, the internet has been a sanity saver for me and, I know, for many others in my position. As a side note, while Spike's social communication difficulties means that he has achieved his ten years without any interest in using social media in a functional way, I am optimistic that it might facilitate friendships for him in the future.
The ultimate message of "Eighth Grade" is delivered lightly: real life moments - an emotionally-charged look, the instant in which you recognise a kindred spirit, receiving an act of kindness - trump the empty dopamine thrill of an Instagram like, and that I know.

For some time, and unknown to us, Spike had been hard at work, piecing together a jigsaw puzzle of anecdotal data and parental cautions. This unseen exercise of his neurons resulted in the following unfortunate news: we all die. So, contrary to our refrain that "life is not a video game", it turns out to be just that: specifically, Minecraft in hardcore mode (although, arguably, with fewer zombies). In the 6 months that followed this realisation Spike was, understandably, preoccupied by it.
I can't remember how I came to know of death. Certainly, sooner than Spike but, otherwise, in a similar fashion. We are both fortunate not to have lost anyone close to us in the early years of childhood. A standard diet of movies, books, games, news reports and personal stories, nevertheless, eventually congealed into this blank wall that we all face (or door, if you are religiously-inclined). While the notion of death can only be a blow - and there is no right way to process this information - Spike has grappled with it quite dissimilarly to me. I suppressed thoughts of death, and only allowed myself little sideways glances at it, sensing that I should take my time to come to terms with it. I knew, instinctively, that plunging head-long into the abyss would be unhelpful to me. Instead, I lay in bed planning escape routes in the event of a domestic fire, and had wild dreams in which I had to stay hidden from unseen eyes, or else the world would end.
Spike, on the other hand, saw death everywhere. He re-visited mentions of death that he had read about in reports and stories (and sought out new ones) finally comprehending the gravity of the turn of events described. He over-generalised - imbuing many simple losses or ends that he would have previously shrugged off, with something like grief. He doodled gravestones and perseverated on his own death and that of his loved ones. It was distressing for him, and hard to watch. His obsession particularly disturbed those who did not know Spike well. They were alarmed that this intense focus on death was a sign of suicidal ideation. Those close to Spike were quite clear that it was not that at all - he was terrified of death, not wishing for it. This was existential angst.
We also knew that there was only so much we could do to help: ultimately, this new information had to be processed. While this was on-going, we told Spike we loved him and that he was safe. We offered reassurance, reminding him of his own and our good health and young age. We answered questions plainly and simply, and read helpful books. We modelled and shaped his language into more accurate and healthy statements. Eventually, in time, his obsession ebbed.
In these choppy waves, we have had a primary-coloured lifebelt: the Zones of Regulation. The "Zones" are a cognitive behaviour framework, designed to help, primarily, with self-regulation but also supporting emotional articulacy and understanding. Spike can confidently assign himself to one of the four coloured zones - red (angry/scared, moving through yellow and green, to blue (sad/sick/tired). We are still working on finessing his "toolbox" of strategies which enable him to stay in or move back to a more regulated state - the coveted green zone. Spike can even recognise the zones of others: noting at a critical point in Lego Movie 2 that "UniKitty is in the RED ZONE!!". This nascent awareness of his emotional state has particularly helped us all discern those critical points where there is greater scope for stepping back from the brink, avoiding meltdowns. Processing the concept of death without the typical level of social and emotional understanding is a big ask and, while the Zones didn't calm the recent storm, entirely, it helped a great deal. The always note-perfect Matt Davies has also spoken positively about the Zones, if you needed more persuasion of their usefulness.
At the same time as his grapples with death, Spike has been weathering substantial changes in some of the systems he relies on for emotional balance - namely transport and his video game console. Nintendo are slowly killing off his beloved Wii, and Transport for London will insist on shuffling the buses around our great city with gay abandon. Chuck in the merest whiff of puberty hormones, a couple of bouts of gastroenteritis and discovering swearing ("Oh no! I've done a &*%$ing poo!"), and it is safe to say, he - and we - haven't had the easiest time of it, recently.
As well as the Zones, we have been hugely aided by the written word. I am in the midst of writing Spike a social story about change. For the uninitiated, a "social story" is a kind of individualised first-person short story that breaks down a challenging social situation into understandable steps. Irrelevant information is omitted and good strategies for managing the situation are clearly set out. The goal is to help the reader understand and cope with the situation described. They have been a really useful tool for Spike, who sets great store by the written word. He often memorises them and revisits them after the event. Recently, he has taken to repurposing old social stories for new challenges. Social stories have meant that, while not passing wholly without incident or comment, we have, of late, avoided street-side meltdowns and physical damage to devices.
I can usually write a social story in short order, but I'm finding this one hard. Change. Wanted or unwanted. Small changes and big ones (a relative concept when entering the world of the neurodiverse). Changes that you can mitigate and those that you cannot. Permanent changes and impermanent ones. Between these lines is life. I think it might be less of a story and more of a book.
Writing the story has also made me realise what superheroes we all are. STUFF HAPPENS. So much stuff! And we suck it up! We analyse and process, weigh up and squash down. We are, to a greater or lesser extent, flexible and resilient. Imagine not being that. Imagine feeling assailed in such a way that your primal fight or flight response is triggered multiple times a day by the mundane ebb and flow of life. Imagine being floored, in the moment, by a bus on diversion in the same way a death might impact you. That is not Spike's every-day, but it is some days. So, this is a big one. And how we convey the reality of life and the tools we give Spike to handle the real world is important. It strikes me that there are some neurotypical adults who still have not learned the main thrust of this social story, so this is a great opportunity. If we can teach Spike this - how to surf the top of the waves, and not be tumbled into a maelstrom of white water - well, that would be...everything.
These recent challenges have also made it apparent that we have moved into a new phase of parenting. Until quite recently, we, Spike's parents, have been an omnipotent force in his life, able to fix everything, given a little time and creative thinking (and, sometimes, money). But, when Spike asks us to alter the infrastructure of the city we live in, so that it matches his ideal: beyond a strongly worded tweet, we are powerless. A wise friend and colleague said to me "You can't fix everything for him. So you have to channel your energies into helping him live in the world as it is." Balancing the need to ensure home and family are a place of refuge (for everybody), with the adage that learning demands a little discomfort, can be a tough balancing act. And what mother is not tempted to overturn the order of things (or the bus schedules) if it brings her son some peace of mind? We are doing our very best, though.
I do recognise that these are all good problems to have. They are evidence of so much progress and learning and understanding. Spike is so much more aware, tuned in and interested in the world, these days and, consequently, he is more vested in it, with all the joys and woes that brings. He has his feet on the ladder, and we won't let go until he has reached the top. And, clearly, we will keep holding on, even then - because that seems like a really bad moment to let go. Gah - analogies!

Our Antennas
W4AQL Repeater
145.150- (PL 167.9)
The W4AQL repeater is located on West Campus, colocated with the WREK transmitter. It is an open repeater, so anyone that can reach it is free to use it (although some functions are only available to members). It is not very heavily used, but there is usually someone listening. Occasionally, the repeater is also used to support communications for various events, such as marathons and races. The repeater coverage is quite good, and covers a fair portion of the Atlanta Metro area.
The W4AQL Repeater uses a frequency of 145.15 MHz with a -600 kHz offset and requires a 167.9 Hz subaudible tone for access. The repeater always transmits a 167.9 Hz CTCSS tone on the output for those that wish to enable the decode feature on their radio.
To check how well the repeater can hear your transmissions, you may use its Echo Test feature. To do this, send DTMF #1. When the repeater responds, "Ready," begin transmitting before it unkeys, and it will play back your transmission once you are done.
Members can view a full list of available repeater commands at the Members Only page.
The repeater controller is a Pacific Research RI-300. The radio is a Kenwood TKR-750, which is connected to a TE Systems 1412R(N) amplifier for a total of 125 watts of output power. The antenna is a DB products DB224-E on top of the tower at about 330 feet above average terrain.
Yellow Jacket Net
Join us on the W4AQL repeater every Thursday night at 9:00 PM for the Yellow Jacket Net! This is a directed net where we discuss various topics relating to amateur radio and Georgia Tech. You can also check the calendar at the bottom of our homepage for any updates regarding net operation.
One of our goals for a while now has been to add Echolink capability to the repeater so that it can be accessed by remote users. Unfortunately, these plans have been repeatedly delayed while we waited for network upgrades at the repeater site and dealt with other obligations and complications.
Now, though, the network upgrades are complete and work on Echolink connectivity has progressed quite a bit, so we hope to have it up and running very soon! Especially in light of the pandemic, we hope that having this feature available will help us keep in touch with one another.
70cm Repeater
W4AQL also has a second frequency allocation from SERA on the 70cm band. Previously, this was the home of our D-STAR repeater, but we took it off the air and sold the equipment in late 2019 because it was rarely used. Since then, we have been performing a few experiments on these frequencies to keep our allocation active while we are in the process of deciding what to do with it, and we hope to get something permanently on the air sometime soon.

For quite some time my texture library (consisting mostly of cubemaps) has been licensed under a fairly permissive but custom "license" stated in the readme.txt file. As a result I've been getting a steady trickle of emails from people asking for permission to use them in commercial apps or even hobby projects. So far I've never denied anyone the use and my intention has always been to provide something for free for everyone to use. The only thing I've wanted is credit for my work. So I finally got around to update the license to something more standard to simplify for everyone, including myself. So from now on I'm using a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. This license allows commercial use, so you no longer need to ask for permission for that. I am still of course interested in knowing where they might end up, so feel free to email me anyway if you include them in your project or application.

Photo by: AFP/Getty Images Federal Election Reform
Elections are the heart of democracy. It is the way "we the people" choose our leaders and hold them accountable. But since the November 2000 elections when flawed voter registration lists, obsolete voting machines, and poorly designed ballots marred the electoral process, public confidence in our voting system has declined. Although Congress enacted the Help America Vote Act of 2002, one in three Americans still question whether their vote will be counted accurately. Tune in to this special edition of Justice Talking when we travel to the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia to talk with former President Jimmy Carter and members of the Commission on Federal Election Reform. A conversation with former Secretary of State James Baker is also featured. The program, co-sponsored by Court TV, is co-hosted by NPR's Michel Martin (sitting in for Margot Adler) and Court TV's Catherine Crier.
An Interview with Jimmy Carter
Court TV's Catherine Crier speaks with former President Jimmy Carter about the U.S. electoral system and its recent controversies.
James Earl Carter was the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981 and 83rd governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975. In 1982 he founded the Carter Center as a forum for mediating conflicts and promoting democracy, health care, and human rights. He co-chairs the National Commission on Federal Election Reform.
Catherine Crier has won the Emmy, duPont-Columbia, and Gracie Allen awards for journalism and is the youngest state judge to ever be elected in Texas. Crier joined Court TV as an anchor in November 1999. She serves as executive editor for Legal News Specials in addition to hosting Catherine Crier Live. Crier released her first book, The Case Against Lawyers, in 2002.
Interview with James Baker, III
NPR's Michel Martin speaks with former Secretary of State James Baker, III, about election reform and restoring voters' confidence in the system.
James A. Baker, III has served in senior government positions under three United States presidents. He served as secretary of state, secretary of treasury, and White House chief of staff. Mr. Baker is presently a senior partner in the law firm of Baker Botts and honorary chairman of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University. He co-chairs the National Commission on Federal Election Reform.
Award-winning journalist Michel Martin joined NPR in January 2006 and will host a daily afternoon public affairs and cultural program focusing on stories of importance to African-Americans.

277 Keawe Street
Hilo, HI, 96720
Hello Creativity
Hilo, hawai'i
man finds space
In 2013, a guy named Ryan from New Jersey transplanted himself to the Big Island of Hawai'i.
Honestly, he just came to visit some friends for Christmas and check out Hawai'i on his way to Australia for a 'walkabout'. Well, that trip to Australia never went down, and Ryan ended up buying a used Volkswagen, finding a rental home, and moved his stuff (just a large backpack really) from his friends' guest room to his own place down the street, in the rough & rootsy Puna district.
Although this perhaps seems like a drastic move, once he settled his modest belongings into his new digs, he felt more settled and sure than ever before.
After a couple years free-flowing around the Island, immersing himself into the hippy-esque or 'new age' Puna social scene, while taking a more peripheral if admiring stance to the native Hawaiian culture, Ryan found his sense of belonging in the more diverse urban profile of the quaint & quirky Hilo. Here he felt more piped in to the potential of where his talents could be of service.
With the advice and influence of his enthusiastically supportive friends, Ryan set out to start a venture that would embody his passions for design, healthy lifestyle, and hosting. See, at that time he had been working as a graphic designer and branding artist for about a decade, simultaneously using social media platforms to share recipes and information about raw and plant-based lifestyle, as well as leading retreats where health and creativity were the focus. So when his visionary confidants suggested that they could see Ryan running his own venue that could involve all of these passions, a sense of clarity flooded in and Ryan set his mind on doing just that.
With relatively rapid and fantastic manifestation (the kind that comes with that sort of undeniable 'ah-ha' realization), Ryan found his space, smack-dab in the center of downtown Hilo. And it is in this space that Ryan has been experimenting with events and projects and dishes and collaborations. The project has had several iterations and has taken so many forms, and through its array of monickers and configurations, it remains versatile and true to its nickname, 'the Space'.

Q: SQL - Value in list, but not in table If you have a list of names e.g. Ian, Stephen and a database table as follows:
Names (table name)
Ian
Stephen
Maria

You could find the names in the list that appear in the table by this query: select * from names where names not in ('Ian','Stephen').  This would return 'Maria'.
How would I find values that exist in the list, but not in the database? For example, if I had a list of: Ian,Maria,Kevin and a table of:
Names (table name)
Ian
Maria

How could I write a query to return Kevin? I know I could load the list into a separate table and LEFT JOIN them, but I wandered if there was an easier way.

A: There is not an easier way in SQL.  Doing the LEFT JOIN or NOT IN is the SQL way of doing it, but you need a table.  Now, you don't have to create an actual table.  You can have something like:
with names as (
     select 'Ian' as name union all
     select 'Maria' as name union all
     select 'Kevin' as name
)
select *
from names n
where n.name not in (select name from t)

You could also do this in Excel:

*

*Put the values in a column

*Create an in list and run the query

*Put the results in a column

*Use vlookup or match to find the differences

A: select a.name from
(select "Ian" name from dual
 union
 select "Maria" from dual
 union
 select "Stephen" from dual) a
left outer join Names n using (name)
where n.name is null

A: select * from mytable
where names in ('kevin', 'maria', 'ian')

UPDATED with correct input
I want to scratch the above :$
Please take a look at the following. And it's not the best query though. But I wanted to tried it out anyway.
Reference * SQLFIDDLE
Table:
NAME
john
ian
robin
maria
fen

Query:
select x.* from (
select * from names
union all
select 'kevin'
union all
select 'ian'
union all
select 'maria') as x
where x.name not in
(select * from names)
;

Results:
NAME
kevin

A: In TSQL I would load the list of names into a table variable and join it to your Names table for either version of the search.  Since variable tables reside in memory, this avoids the overhead of creating a normal table or temp table and writing the values to disk for a one time operation.
Declare @Temp table
(
    Name varchar(32)
)

Insert Into @Temp
Select 'Ian'
Union
Select'Stephen'
Union
Select'Kevin'

Select
    T.Name
From @Temp as T
    left join Names as N
        on T.Name = N.Name
Where N.Name IS NULL

In my experience this join structure is much more efficient than the "NOT IN" method.
EDIT: Updated code block for DB version

A: Not useful to the OP, but if you are in a SQL Server 2008 or higher environment, this syntax should work as well.
SELECT
    List.NAME
FROM ( VALUES
        ('Ian')
        ,('Maria')
        ,('Kevin')
    ) AS List(NAME)
    LEFT JOIN NAMES AS N
        ON List.NAME = N.NAME
WHERE N.NAME IS NULL

The French National Data Protection Commission has given Microsoft three months to comply with its order or face fines that could top $1.66 million.
Some of the privacy failings identified can be remedied by users willing to delve deep into the Windows 10 settings, but one of the commission's gripes is that better privacy should be the default setting, not one users must fight for.
The commission conducted seven tests of the data sent back to Microsoft by Windows 10 in April and June of this year. Among Microsoft's faux pas was the collection of data about all the apps downloaded and installed on a system, and the time spent on each one, a process CNIL said was both excessive and unnecessary.
Microsoft also failed to protect user data sufficiently, it said, by allowing users to secure their Microsoft accounts containing their purchase history and their means of payment with a PIN consisting of just four digits, and by allowing unlimited attempts to unlock the account.
If Microsoft doesn't comply with CNIL's demands by Sept. 30, then it could face a fine of up to €1.5 million (US$1.66 million) for the poor PIN security, and lesser fines for the other measures, the commission said in its formal notice to the company.
The company also tracked its customers without permission, setting and activating an advertising ID when Windows 10 was installed that allowed apps to target advertising to users. It also put advertising cookies on the computers without giving users a chance to opt out first, CNIL said.
Furthermore, despite Windows 10's system of continuous updates, the company has not taken account of a significant legal change in the European Union since the launch of the operating system.
On Oct. 6, the Court of Justice of the European Union invalidated the Safe Harbor Agreement for the transfer of personal data. That made it illegal to use its provisions to justify the export of Europeans' personal data to the U.S., yet Microsoft continued to do so, CNIL said.
The French data protection authority is not the only one in Europe that has been studying Windows 10's treatment of personal data; others are continuing their investigations.
CNIL does not always make public the cease-and-desist notices it issues -- companies have a right to privacy, too -- but decided to in this case because of the seriousness of the breaches and because they affected so many Windows users, more than 10 million of them in France.
Microsoft representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.


Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) will undertake remedial work on the M1 highway to accommodate the installation of cables and future services, from today (24 January) until the end of February 2018.
The construction and repairs will be limited to the centre median barrier on the M1 highway between the Killarney bends and the St Andrews road off-ramp from 09:00- 15:00 daily.
The fast lane northbound and southbound will be closed, reducing the number of lanes in both directions from three to two. The lanes will reopen outside the designated timeframes to allow for flow of traffic during peak hours.
Motorists are advised to expects delays during the construction period, travel at reduce speeds upon entering the construction zone and adhere to road works signs. Motorists need to be vigilant of construction workers on site and flag persons will be on hand to alert motorists.


Split spherical roller bearings (fig 1) are primarily used for bearing positions which are difficult to access such as on long shafts which require support at several positions, or on cranked shafts. Their use is also beneficial where non-split bearings would require considerable time and effort for maintenance and more particularly for replacement; this would also cause long and expensive, or perhaps even inadmissibly long machine downtime. Split spherical roller bearings offer the optimum solution to such problems. The main application areas include conveyor equipment, long multiple-supported shafts and large ventilation plants (fig 2).
SKF split spherical roller bearings are produced to order. The design is tailored to the particular application and, for cost reasons, is generally based on available bearings of standard design. Before finalizing a bearing arrangement design incorporating a split spherical roller bearing it is advisable to consult the SKF application engineering service.

Travel Image Series - Japan - Youth
Japan - Youth
In one of my previous posts, I shared about the kids at play - Kids Program. Fun is the universal language of kids and I can almost recognize the game they were playing. However, the first image below is one that really stood out for me. It was one of the youth carrying a pot for the afternoon meal. He had came early so he was turned around to head back until it was the right time. Usually it's the adults in the neighborhood lining up early, so this is why it caught my attention. And it wasn't just one serving that he is going for himself, but that he brought a pot which meant to me he was fetching it for his family. It's that stage in a young kids life when you can tell they are responsible and thoughtful for others. And the gesture of putting on the back of his neck like this also has a very carefreeness about his attitude.

The second image was taken when I got to just walk around the grounds of a shrine in Kyoto. As I was composing the shot of the shrine, I noticed these group of students turning the corner. Usually I would have waited until they passed me to take the shot. But this time I waited for that perfect moment that all of them to walk right in front of the shrine each youth absorbed in their own thing. Glad I patiently waited for the moment to happen.

I have been living in Spain for many years and I have rented numerous flats and not once have I not received my deposit back. I have always paid the last months rent and after an inspection then used to the deposit to pay off utility bills that still haven't been charged. I would calculate the average monthly consumption from the previous three months and then divide it by 30 and then multiply it by the days outstanding to be paid up to the day I hand back the keys. This way the landlord is assured he will have the money to pay the bills when I have gone. The deposut is something I always want to get back when I hand back the keys so I agree this with my landlord first, I have an inspection a week before I hand back the keys and another inspection the day I hand back the keys, but that day he also has the deposit money prepared minus the outstanding utilities payments which we have estimated previously. Not once have I had any problems with this formula. Make sure you agree it on signing the contract or before you hand in your 30 day notice. Ther is no reason why he/she shouldn't accept. It is fair and transparent, what most landlords want.
Thinking you can always offset the 1 or 2 months' rental security deposit against your unpaid rent is not correct. You cannot. That two month's initial security deposit serves its own legal purpose and at no time can be used to compensate rental shortfalls unless you agree this in writing with your landlord before leaving the property.
However this said, a lot of people still think that they will not get their deposit back and thus don´t pay the last rental fees, hoping that the landlord won´t go to court as it will cost him too much money to do so and they walk away from the property owing rent but losing their deposit....my question is what do these people do about outstanding utility bills? Leave them unpaid too?
Would you pay your last month's rent in Spain?
The Spanish don't usually pay the last month's rent because they know they're unlikely to get their deposit back. There's no deposit guarantee scheme and the Spanish legal system is third world.
I will also add it to the post. But basically the landlord is obliged pay the deposit into an escrow account with the local government where they safeguard it until the contract has been completed. If you have paid all the rent and there are no damages they have to return the money by law and if they don´t you will gain interest afer 30 days. This is why it´s important to take photos of the house when you move in and pay all the rent up to the end of the contract. The landlord should hand you in a receipt of the deposit made for the rental contract.
I am shocked by the statistics / vote outcome. I am on my 3rd rental property now and it never occurred to me not to pay the last month's rent and to agree an estimate of the last utility bills and settle them by the time I hand back the keys. The deposit IS there to protect the landlord as otherwise they will have no recourse with some unscrupulous tenants who can really damage their property. I agree, be clear in advance when you give your pre-agreed notice how and when you will settle up if not already abundantly clear in your contract. Play fair. This culture of mistrust saddens me. I am fully aware that there ARE some unscrupulous landlords out there but, that said, I believe that a better, more healthful mindset in life is to approach one's dealings in life in a less defensive manner.
Of course, you pay. it's illegal otherwise.
I rent out a property in Spain and in the last two cases my tenant left then informed me that they would like their deposit back. However, they left owing the last months rent, outstanding water and electricity bills, thereby leaving me out of pocket.
I hope you didn't pay their deposit back!
I've been both tenant and landlord in my life, and I think the kind of people who engage in not paying their bills are either being defensive (which I *can* understand to a point although I disagree with it), or, they are people who simply want to try and game the system thinking they can get one over.
Please do not forget, landlords are people too, they have mortgages to pay in many cases, and many need the cash flow in order to protect their credit rating, which is incredibly important.
For those people in the second category who simply want to game the system, I think they are nothing but scum.
I couldn't agree with you more Rob! And this is coming from the point of view of one who's never been a landlady.
I have always paid my last month's rent. I only got ripped off by one landlord, the rest have all been lovely. Despite my one bad experience I still believe it's best to treat others the way I would like to be treated.

Airplanes, Water, and Alliagtors... A Seaplane Rating Adventure by Julie Chapman
Photo by: Peggy Chapman
Getting a Seaplane Rating
It's a beautiful, sultry morning on Lake Apopka northwest of Orlando, FL. The city I'm training out of is Tavares, FL, which is known as America's Seaplane City. It's a cute little town that's on the waterfront of Lake Dora where everything is seaplane-themed. Restaurants, parks, and even benches all have a seaplane motif.
I'm struggling to get the sight picture just right for landing a Progressive Aerodyne Searey flying boat on the choppy surface of the lake. With every landing comes a splash of water into the cockpit since we have the canopy cracked to keep it cool. This airplane feels a lot different to me because it's a pusher configuration and so I have to correct for adverse yaw and propeller torque using left rudder instead of right. I also have to accommodate for the nose going up when I pull the throttle versus going down. I go through my checklist before we take off again. Gear, Instruments, Fuel Pumps, Flaps, Trim, Situation. Check. Full throttle. The airplane plows through the water at first, then climbs onto the edge of the water (known as being "on the step") before I rotate and take off. Up in the air, the plane flies like any other, albeit it has a lot more drag.
One of the more difficult aspects of seaplane flying is mastering the glassy water landing. You cannot tell your height above glassy water, so you find your Last Visual Reference (for me, it was a large swath of lily pads on the water) and set up for a 150 fpm descent with a slightly nose-up pitch until you touch down. Learning to land on water opens up an entirely new freedom to flying. There's also the fun of a step-turn, which is a high speed taxiing that you use in a confined-area takeoff. I step turn in a circle until I gain the airspeed to rotate and take off into the humid Florida skies.
Up in the air again, we go find a river to practice crosswind takeoffs and landings. Landing on the water is aquatic tranquility. The river we find is a shimmering, partially glassy cerulean ribbon slicing through Florida's swampy greenery. Touching down atop the gently rolling waves brings exquisite peace. Then we take off again with a little cross control as needed for the crosswind takeoff. Aloft, I'm struck with the versatility of the amphibious LSA I am flying. It gives the beautiful peace and release of flight combined with the freedom of being able to land anywhere. Learning the proclivities of the water proves challenging and rewarding to me in a lovely way.
The seaplane rating has sharpened my landing and situational awareness skills and has boosted my confidence. I did have to abort a landing due to an alligator being in my touch down zone, but that's Florida for you! It's made me contemplate adding some floats to my airplane... stay tuned!

The 20th July marked the fifth anniversary of the legislation that enabled Sheffield Live and other community radio stations to start broadcasting. Since then more than 200 community radio services have been licensed and around 150 are on air, creating around 400 jobs, involving over 10,000 volunteers, and serving a potential audience of more than 10 million people. Ofcom's latest Annual Report hailed community radio as "one of the great UK broadcasting success stories of the last few years", but that success could turn to failure if much needed Government support is not forthcoming, according to community radio groups and their supporters.
An open letter has been written to the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, signed by 82 community radio leaders, media scholars and experts including representatives of 60 community radio stations, in a bid to raise awareness of the threat to community radio.
Add your support by donating to your local community radio and by writing now to your local MP and the Prime Minister.

Q: Remove part of string in file using batch I have some data in a text file (test.txt), reading:
wantedunwanteddata

I want to remove the "unwanted" part in that string and output the rest (i.e. "wanteddata" in another file (test2.txt). I'm using:
findstr /v "unwanted" test.txt>test2.txt

however that's returning an empty file.

A: The reason why findstr /v "unwanted" test.txt>test2.txt won't work is because findstr searches for lines matching the conditions you gave it. findstr will not return substrings matching the conditions but the whole line where the conditions are met. In findstr /v "unwanted" test.txt>test2.txt you're asking for all lines in test.txt without "unwanted" in it. That's why test2.txt is empty: there are no such lines.
In batch, you can replace all occurences of a substring from a value of a variable with the following syntax: %var:substr=repl%. This will replace all occurences of substr with repl in the string %var% contains. As removing substring is similar to replacing with an empty string (at least in this context), you can use %var:substr=% to remove all occurences of a substr.
If you want to remove all occurences of a substring in a file, you can read each line of that file in a variable with for /f and print out that variable after removing the substring from it. Be aware that as we will have to create a variable inside a for /f-block and use it inside that same block, delayed expansion will be needed (this answer explains why).
@echo off
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set input=text1.txt
set output=text2.txt
set "substr=unwanted"

(
    FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%G IN ("%input%") DO (
        set line=%%G
        echo. !line:%substr%=!
    )
) > "%output%"

EndLocal
exit /b 0

I've set (paths to) your inputfile text1.txt and your outputfile text2.txt in variables (respectively input and output) without surrounding quotes (quotes are added when variables are used). That will make it easier to change them if needed.
The extra (..) surrounding the for /f is just for handling the output redirect to the outputfile.
In case you don't want to use delayed expansion, you can omit the SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion and the EndLocal and replace echo !line:%substr%=! with call echo %%line:%substr%=%% inside the for /f.
EDIT: If your input file contains special characters like <>()|&%, you must use delayed expansion. With the normal variable expansion used in call echo %%line:%substr%=%% those special characters will be processed with their special meanings by the cmd-interpreter (< and > for input or output redirection for example) and generate unexpected results.
Also I've surrounded the assignment of the substr variable but if the substring you're trying to replace contains special characters like <>()|&% each of them must also be escaped in order for %substr% to work as expected. You can escape a special character with a caret-sign ^, except for the % that must be doubled (%% instead of %).
EDIT2: for /f skips blank lines, so if one wants to keep those blank lines in the output file, some workarounds will be required. A common hack in pure batch to cope with that is to use findstr /n or find /n to prepend each line (including the empty ones) with their line number while feeding the inputfile to the for /f. This will of course require some extra processing to cope with the line numbers inside the for /f block and remove them from the output of the for /f but it is possible. This answer to a similar question provides an excellent explanation for those workarounds and their drawbacks.
