October marks the transition into the fall weather patterns along the Treasure Coast. You can expect temperatures to begin to cool down somewhat into more comfortable days to enjoy the outdoors. Water temperatures will begin to slowly cool off as well. This year has brought us lots of rain and a quiet hurricane season so far. October provides great weather and hungry fish. It's a fantastic month to be fishing!
The fall mullet run will continue to dominate the area as large schools of finger mullet fill the beaches, inlets and rivers of the area. You can expect lots of big fish to be feeding on them both day and night. Snook fishing will be best during the night hours on the higher ends of the tides. Live finger mullet, croakers and pigfish will be the best live baits to use. DOA Terror Eyz, Bait Busters and feather jigs will be good artificial lures to use for snook. Try around the jetties, turning basin and bridges as well as many of the deeper docks around the river. Lighted docks are especially productive when fishing at night.
Redfish has continued to be a wonderful fishery for us this year. Each year has seen their population increase and many anglers have enjoyed the experience of fishing a large school of reds this year. October will continue to be a productive month for those who seek redfish on the flats. DOA shrimp or CAL grub tails are two of the best choices for redfish along with a variety of live and cut baits. The west shoreline south of Fort Pierce is always a good area when looking for redfish.
Fishing has continued to be productive around the river. The most active area has been the Fort Pierce inlet. It has been loaded with jacks, mackerel, blue runners and other assorted predators. A good number of tarpon have been following the bait inside the inlet. Top water lures or small shiny jigs have kept rods bending on the incoming tide. Trout can be found around the mullet schools in two to five feet of water. The DOA 3 1/2" Big Fish lure or Bait Buster are good choices around the mullet schools. You can't beat using the trusty DOA shrimp on the flats as well. We have found redfish hanging around the mangroves lately. The snook bite has been good around the jetties and bridges. You can still find plenty of snapper around the channel edges, bridges and structure of the river.
The surf has been good while fishing the bait schools for snook, jacks, bluefish, etc. DOA Big Fish lures, CAL Air Heads or Bait Busters will all work around the bait schools. You can also find plenty of whiting this time of year. Bridges are holding snapper, sheepshead and some black drum. The mouth of the inlet has been alive with a variety of species on the incoming tides. It's been a wet week, so plan your trips carefully and watch the weather. Lots of thunderstorms this week have made it an adventure out there.
With all the challenging weather, what can you do on these rainy days? I like to change out hooks and refurbish lures, check the guides on my fishing rods. It's a good time to grease and oil reels and check the line. I check safety equipment in the boat to make sure all is available and in good condition. Checking dates on flares is often missed by boaters. I check my first aid kit to insure all is in good condition and well stocked. It's a good time to check out the boat trailer for lights, tires and bearings. Hey, it's never as much fun as fishing, but these things are necessary to check several times a year!
We have enjoyed some fantastic weather lately along the Treasure Coast. It is still warm outside and the afternoon rains continue, but the mornings just cannot be beat when it comes to fishing. I got to spend a week in the mountains of West Virginia, while visiting my family up there. It was a great time, but good to be back home with the exception of jury duty this week... The water in the Fort Pierce area has really cleaned up very nicely and the fishing has been good. We have had some good days out there on the water!
The fall mullet run is in full swing now and you can find a variety of species chasing them. Along the surf, look for tarpon, snook, jacks and bluefish to be hanging around the schools. Top water lures, DOA Big Fish lures or silver spoons work well along the beach. Around the inlet, you can find the same variety of fish there as well. On the flats, look for trout, redfish and snook while fishing the bait pods. Top water lures are excellent lures this time of year. Find one that resembles the mullet and work it around the edges of the schools. I like the 3 1/2" DOA Big Fish Lure or the CAL Airheads around the mullet. Fall is a fantastic time to enjoy the fishing along the Treasure Coast!
Most of the trout have come in two to six feet of water this week. DOA shrimp. CAL jerk baits, top water lures and live bait have accounted for most of the trout. Redfish can be found moving across many of the flats on the high end of the tides in one to three feet of water. There are schools of reds around the area this time of year, so keep your eyes open for them. DOA shrimp, CAL grub tails and live bait has worked well on hooking up with an upper slot redfish. We have found flounder on some of the sandy flats and you can still find plenty of snapper around the bridges, channel edges and docks of the river.
Snook fishing the bridges and jetties at night has been productive on the incoming tide. Feather jigs, Terror Eyz and live bait has been the best choices for anglers. The mullet run going off in the inlets and the bait is flooding into the river. The predators are moving in and the fishing will continue to get better as the fish will be feeding heavily the next few months. It's a great time of year to be fishing!

How Far Will We Let Them Take It? Reading Suzie Dawson's 'Understanding World War III'
By Stephen Boni on October 24, 2019
For those who, at one time in their life or another, committed themselves to a certain depth of study regarding World War II, a few prevalent themes about pre-Nazi Germany usually get explored. One is the extraordinary economic humiliation suffered by German citizens after their country came out on the losing end of the struggle between imperial powers that occurred in World War I. With severe reparation penalties exacted on Germany from that brutal war's victors and the massive devaluation of the nation's currency even within its own domestic economy, the deprivation and hunger experienced by regular citizens was very real.
The other piece of that humiliation was cultural. Before the first World War, Germany had been a respected Western imperial nation, boasting a powerful place in the rapidly industrializing world: with plenty of subjugated non-white colonial subjects to take resources from, a class of strong and shrewd aristocratic leaders, a robust economy, a fearsome military, a vibrant arts culture, a high-quality education system, etc. After the war, most of this was ripped away from Germany, and the everyday person on the street felt that humiliation bitterly, along with the gnawing despondency of bare cupboards and growling stomach.
Finally, there is the oft-explored socio-political piece of the Nazis rise to power, in which the fecklessness of the ruling mainstream party and elite distaste for more radical solutions from the left led the business class—and their increasingly large industrial corporations—to throw in with the Nazis in the mistaken belief they could control Hitler's worst instincts.
In Understanding World War III, her rather extraordinary piece of geopolitical pattern recognition from 2016, independent journalist and activist Suzie Dawson picks up the story after the explosion of these humiliations and vanities, when the Nazis had taken power and Hitler began his crushing of internal dissent and an outward push towards violent conquest.
Dawson looks at the process of Nazi expansion, pointing out that World War II, for all intents and purposes, began during Hitler's first provocations in 1933, and with the major European powers policy of appeasement being a position of willful blindness to that new war (until they finally opened their eyes after Hitler's invasion and slaughter of Poland in 1939).
What's truly novel about her piece is the side-by-side comparison she offers of the Nazi's "pre-war" march to war and the foreign policy trajectory of the United States (and its empire vassals) since 9/11. Noting some remarkable similarities between the two countries in terms of their domestic devolution, suppression of dissent, claiming of victim status, and murderous activity abroad, she makes the case that the U.S. actually kicked off World War III immediately after 9/11.
If you don't have time to read the lengthy piece, you can give it a listen through the Words of Others podcast:
After reading or listening to Dawson's article, it's also helpful to consider some of the differences between Germany in the 1920s and 30s and the U.S. in the years before and after 9/11.
One of those differences is that the feelings of desperation and humiliation felt by the American public have not been imposed on them largely from without, as it was for Germany after World War I, but rather from within—by corporations, policymakers, police, judges and, as Chris Hedges details in his recent book America: The Farewell Tour, a social and economic life in which important communal bonds have virtually disintegrated.
Additionally, while many of Donald Trump's most fervent supporters are white supremacists who have been susceptible to the blaming of various "Others" for the national situation—just as many German citizens were susceptible to Hitler's blaming of "the Jews" and other countries for a coterie of national humiliations—a growing number of U.S. citizens have proven resistant to dissent-suppressing media narratives and propaganda (initiated not so much by Trump as an individual strongman, but by the MIC and the corporate state) that's been geared towards enforcing or engineering their acquiescence to a state of permanent conquest.
And if you look at the U.S.'s ridiculously over-funded and technologically vicious but often malfunctioning and soldier-starved military, as well as its use of mercenaries, proxy forces, sanctions and financial institutions to bludgeon other nations into submission, stories of successful conquest (as Hitler enjoyed in the early stages of WWII) have been near nonexistent since 9/11. Only violence and death have succeeded—but not imperial control.
The destruction of Libya could be dubiously claimed as "a win" for the empire, but, honestly, what control exists there for the U.S. in the current state of anarchy that rules what used to be that country? If you take a closer look at the last 18 years, here's what can be seen: The subjugation of Iraq has proven to be little more than creative destruction, the aftermath of which the U.S. has nearly no control over. Afghanistan has been a slow-moving and unceasing debacle. No control to be found there.
Meanwhile, China, Russia, and a dedicated domestic Chavista population have stepped in to protect Venezuela's sovereignty from an ongoing U.S. coup attempt. Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and the Syrian Army have done the same for Syria. Ukraine is at a stalemate amidst an ongoing civil war and Russia/U.S. proxy fight. North Korea and Iran, despite sanctions, both remain defiant and independent. As U.S. Special Forces rampage uselessly around the African continent, China cuts their legs out from under them through diplomacy and investment. Meanwhile, multiple countries have been patiently building alternative financial systems that are already undercutting the supremacy of the dollar on which a huge portion of the U.S. imperial project rests.
These humiliations belong to U.S. elites. But where these somewhat contrary observations converge with Dawson's analysis is exactly at this point of humiliation. With their grip on the world beginning to noticeably slip, how far will the criminal corporate, military and intelligence rulers of the United States be willing to go—driven by their imperial frustration—towards a full-blown and direct World War III against countries that can really fight back?
Just as important, how far will the U.S. domestic population be willing to go in the opposite direction? These are but some of the questions to ponder after absorbing Dawson's thought-provoking work.

New course to see entrepreneurs compete for seed capital
A unique new course which pits entrepreneurs against their peers in a series of challenges in order to pitch for capital investment is being launched at Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University.
The MSc Entrepreneurship begins in September 2016
Students on the MSc Entrepreneurship, which begins this September, will compete against fellow entrepreneurs in tasks which are all related to their own business ventures.
Challenges will focus on innovation, market engagement, internationalisation, finance, and business model, and will culminate in a real pitching event with the entrepreneurs competing for seed capital.
The full-time, one-year course is aimed at ambitious future entrepreneurs from a range of backgrounds, including engineering and science.
It includes a two-week placement within a European start-up company to experience the entrepreneurial journey first-hand, and the group will also work together to set up and run a social enterprise throughout the course.
This course is all about the ideas of the entrepreneurs so the learning is all focused on their own venture, not case studies.
Dr Kostas Galanakis, Programme Leader MSc Entrepreneurship
The entrepreneurs will also have access to start-up programmes run by Nottingham Trent University's centre for entrepreneurship and enterprise, The Hive, as well as free advice on intellectual property rights from Nottingham Law School's Legal Advice Centre. Throughout the course they will build their connections to experts, other entrepreneurs, business angels and capitalists.
Dr Kostas Galanakis, Principal Lecturer at Nottingham Business School and Programme Leader MSc Entrepreneurship, said:
"There are no other entrepreneurship courses which integrate an element of real competition through a series of challenges, international exposure of students' ventures and the creation of a social enterprise. The combination of these elements will teach the entrepreneurs how to control risk and uncertainty, implement solutions and maximise opportunities, but also how to become responsible entrepreneurs.
"This course is all about the ideas of the entrepreneurs so the learning is all focused on their own venture, not case studies. We want to encourage evolution of thinking and help them to develop a work ethos which sets them up to succeed."
Nottingham Business School's MSc Entrepreneurship beings in September 2016. For further information email: Nottingham Business School enquiries, Tel: +(0)115 848 4460 or visit the course website.
Press enquiries please contact Helen Breese, Senior Press Officer, on telephone +44 (0)115 848 8751, or via email
Nottingham Trent University's five-year strategic plan Creating the University of the Future has five main ambitions: Creating Opportunity, Valuing Ideas, Enriching Society, Connecting Globally and Empowering People.
The Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education was awarded to Nottingham Trent University in November 2015. It is the highest national honour for a UK university and recognises the institution's world-class research. Pioneering projects to improve weapons and explosives detection in luggage, enable safer production of powdered infant formula, and combat food fraud, led to the prestigious award.

10 players to watch at Bethpage Black
10 players to watch at Bethpage Black in the 2019 PGA Championship
BY Doug Ferguson | The Associated Press, May 13th, 2019 ·
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Here is a a capsule look at 10 top contenders in the 101st PGA Championship, to be played May 16-19 on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park (listed in predicted order of finish):
1. DUSTIN JOHNSON
Age: 34.
Country: United States.
World ranking: 1.
Worldwide victories: 21.
Majors: U.S. Open (2016).
PGA Championship highlight: Not realizing he was in a bunker at Whistling Straits in 2010, grounding his club in the sand and getting a two-shot penalty that kept him from being in a playoff.
Bethpage history: Best finish was a tie for 3rd at The Barclays in 2012. Tied for 40th in the 2009 U.S. Open and tied for 18th at The Barclays in 2016.
Backspin: Victories this year in Mexico City and Saudi Arabia. With Johnson, it always seems there should be more, especially majors. He lost a one-shot lead in Hilton Head. He was runner-up at the Masters, but only because he finished strong. One major in 12 years is not enough for his talent.
Majors: Masters (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2019), PGA Championship (1999, 2000, 2006, 2007), U.S. Open (2000, 2002, 2008), British Open (2000, 2005, 2006).
PGA Championship highlight: The only player in the stroke-play era to win the PGA in consecutive years. Woods did that twice.
Bethpage history: Won the 2002 U.S. Open for the second leg of the calendar Grand Slam. Tied for 6th at the 2009 U.S. Open and tied for 38th at the 2012 Barclays, the first visible sign of back trouble.
Backspin: His victory at the Masters puts Woods on top of the golf world in the eyes of fans given the magnitude of his comeback. The last time Augusta National and Bethpage Black were the opening two majors, he won them both in 2002. Woods has not played since winning the Masters, the first time he won a major having to contend with so many players on the back nine.
Country: Northern Ireland.
Majors: PGA Championship (2012, 2014), U.S. Open (2011), British Open (2014).
PGA Championship highlight: Set the PGA Championship record for margin of victory at Kiawah Island in 2012 when he won by eight shots.
Bethpage history: Tied for 10th in his U.S. Open debut in 2019. Tied for 19th and tied for 34th in his two appearances at The Barclays.
Backspin: His shot at the career Grand Slam gone for the year, McIlroy looks to add to his major championship total. Along with his win at The Players Championship, he has finished in the top 10 in every tournament he has played this year except for the Masters.
Worldwide victories: 8.
Majors: PGA Championship (2018), U.S. Open (2017, 2018).
PGA Championship highlight: Held off Tiger Woods and Adam Scott to win the PGA Championship last year at Bellerive in St. Louis.
Bethpage history: Tied for 70th at The Barclays in 2016 in his only appearance at Bethpage.
Backspin: Will try to join Tiger Woods has the only back-to-back winners of the PGA Championship in stroke play. Woods did it twice. He is 47-under par in his last five appearances in the PGA Championship. In six of his last nine majors, he has three wins, a runner-up finish and has not finished worse than a tie for sixth.
World ranking: 39.
Majors: Masters (2015), U.S. Open (2015), British Open (2017).
PGA Championship highlight: Finishing runner-up at Whistling Straits in 2015 in his bid to win the American slam of majors.
Bethpage history: Tied for 10th, four shots behind, in 2016 at The Barclays.
Backspin: No one has ever completed the career Grand Slam at the PGA Championship, and Spieth has not been trending in that direction. His last victory was the 2017 British Open. More telling is that he was No. 3 in the world at this point a year ago.
Majors: Masters (2004, 2006, 2010), PGA Championship (2005), British Open (2013).
PGA Championship highlight: Getting up-and-down for birdie on the 18th at Baltusrol to win the PGA in 2005.
Bethpage history: Twice a runner-up in the U.S. Open, to Tiger Woods in 2002 and to Lucas Glover in 2009. Tied for 38th and tied for 13th at The Barclays.
Backspin: Mickelson loves majors at Bethpage and they love him. Both times he had a chance in the U.S. Open, he dropped shots over the closing stretch to fall out of serious contention. Would be quite the coincidence if he were to finally win a major at Bethpage without it being the one major (U.S. Open) he lacks.
Country: Italy.
Majors: British Open (2018).
PGA Championship highlight: A late surge and a runner-up finish at Quail Hollow in 2017.
Bethpage history: Tied for 27th in the 2009 U.S. Open and missed the cut at The Barclays in 2016.
Backspin: If he didn't get enough respect in his British Open victory, he should have from his run at the Masters. He has four wins and two runner-up finishes in the last year, and dating to the '17 PGA at Quail Hollow, he has four top 10s in his last six majors.
Country: Spain.
Majors: None.
PGA Championship highlight: Going into the final round at Bellerive just three shots out of the lead. He tied for fourth.
Bethpage history: He will be making his Bethpage debut.
Backspin: He tied for fourth in the PGA last year and tied for ninth in the first major of the year at the Masters. He has won in each of his three years as a pro, though that includes a team victory two weeks ago in New Orleans. He has a big game for a big course at Bethpage.
Majors: PGA Championship (2017).
PGA Championship highlight: Winning his first major in the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in 2017.
Backspin: Tied for 12th at the Masters, but hasn't played since because of a wrist injury. How bad it is remains somewhat of a mystery, but Thomas chose to withdraw from the Wells Fargo Championship and will join Tiger Woods and Bryson DeChambeau as top-10 players who haven't competed since Augusta National.
Majors: Masters 2017.
PGA Championship highlight: Trailing by five shots on the back nine at Medinah in 1999 and pushing Tiger Woods to the very end.
Bethpage history: Played in final group and finished fourth in the 2002 U.S. Open, tied for 10th in the 2009 U.S. Open, and lost a two-shot lead in the final round and tied for third in the 2012 Barclays.
Backspin: In an otherwise rough year marked by damaging greens in Saudi Arabia and mixing it up with Matt Kuchar over a tap-in at Match Play, Garcia is starting to show some form. He reached the quarterfinals at Match Play and tied for fourth at the Wells Fargo Championship. He usually contends at Bethpage.

People have been arriving into heaven for several thousand years, including thousands of years before the incarnation of God. In heaven, there has been a long season of rejoicing and their reason for their joyous season is Jesus.
Signs that say "one way" are correct and always have been. Everybody in heaven is there due to the Redeemer. Some people arrived in heaven before the Redeemer redeemed them, but God knew it was a sure matter that the Redeemer would redeem them on the cross. Some people went to heaven after redemption day and perhaps some went to heaven at the moment of Jesus' death.
In heaven, Abel and Kitty Wells sing in a large choir to their mutual and only Redeemer. Everyone in the choir can relate to their song, and they never do sing a multiple-redeemer line like "get the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul."
Reader, if you can identify with Abraham's heart-longings for a righteous city, it's because you, too, have been made a new creature with new creature desires. Rejoice that eternal salvation is completely by grace and that Jesus is the reason for the season.

Inside a Vegan-vs.-Vegan Controversy: Where Do You Stand?
VEGWORLD NEWS Current Events Lifestyle Business
by Diana O. Potter
We VEGWORLD readers know all about it. And most of us are pretty happy about it.
But not all of us.
"It" is the dramatic and newsworthy large-scale growth of traditional meat and dairy companies that are enlarging their investments in plant-based foods. Of course, they're doing so in response to the growing number of people with plant-based lifestyles demanding more foods they can eat at lower cost — and buying them in ever-increasing quantities. More buys equals more happy customers and more profits, the reasons why any company anywhere is in business.
So that's great, right? What's not to like about such a remarkable phenomenon, given that the American diet has been meat-based since long before there was an America? And we know so much now about the health benefits of eating plants instead of meat. Shouldn't we be thanking the big meat and dairy companies for buying or investing in the small or start-up producers of the plant-based foods we love?
Turns out the answer depends on which vegans you talk to.
Vegan author Colleen Patrick Goudreau has researched vegans' current perspectives and considered them alongside the reasons for the formerly non-plant-based companies' moves in our direction. This article sums up her findings as follows.
Why Some Vegans Don't Like "It"
Besides gratitude, many of us have considerable admiration, even affection, for the vegan companies that started plant-based foods' huge growth in popularity. We may sometimes feel regret that the bigger animal-products companies have absorbed them, changing their character in a way — but some of us are really upset about it:
These vegans accuse the vegan companies of "selling out" and even call for boycotting their products now that they're aligned with "big business."
Although they may previously have eaten and enjoyed some of the vegan companies' products, many of these vegans now condemn them as unhealthy, over-processed, and, surprisingly, worse for your health than animal products!
And woe to those who attempt to defend the small companies for their "big-biz" decisions: They're all too likely to hear themselves accused of being apologists for the big companies or even betraying the animals by defending the small ones.
How the Animal-Products Companies Might Reply
It's unknown whether the animal-products companies are much aware of the negative views expressed by a relatively small number of vegans. But if they did, here's how they might reply in their own defense:
"As with any company in business to generate profits, that has to be our goal. To achieve it, we can't be in business to first satisfy anyone's ideology."
"That said, we aren't committed to killing animals. We're committed to making profits. If we can make profits without killing animals, we'll gladly do it."
"In fact, besides buying companies that make plant-based foods, some of us have begun making them ourselves, including Tyson Foods, Kroger, Kellogg's, and Hormel Foods — a clear indication of our growing concern for more than just profits: the animals, people's health, and the environment."
How the Plant-Foods Companies View "It"
The plant-foods companies selling all or a portion of themselves (as investments) to larger ones might have this to say:
"We were small, with small distribution of our products, and we might have stayed that way for a long time — meaning we would reach only a relatively small number of plant-based customers with products that would tend to cost more because of fewer sales."
"We took the risk and accepted the hard work involved in starting any new business, including finding the money not only to start it but also to keep it going and, if possible, growing. When we decided to sell, it was because we'd reached the limit of our own capabilities to do those things."
"We're happy that a bigger company with far greater capabilities is producing larger quantities of our products and distributing them more widely, with the result that they are selling more of them at lower cost to our loyal customers."
So, which side of the vegans vs. big-animal-products-companies-going-vegan do you identify with more closely?
Since the trend toward more production of more vegan products by more animal-products–based companies seems highly likely to continue, the vegans who don't like it may become more marginalized with time. Or, their numbers may grow, and their voices may grow louder and have a greater impact.
Only time — and the rate of growth of the companies going vegan — will tell.

Црква Покрова Пресвете Богородице у Вреоцима, насељеном месту на територији Градске општине Лазаревац и припада Епархији шумадијској Српске православне цркве.

Црква у Вреоцима посвећена је Покрову Пресвете Богородице.

Саграђена 1872. године, 20m западно од цркве брвнаре. Конципирана је као једноброда грађевина са петостраном олтарском апсидом и бочним полукружним певницама (споља петостраним). На западном делу налази се припрата изнад које се уздиже четвртасти звоник, завршен осмоугаоним кубетом.

Црква је споља и изнутра омалтерисана. Фасаде су оживљене плитким нишама и пиластрима, између којих се појављују фризови слепих аркадица. Унутрашњи зидови су у новије време делимично живописани, а иконостас са иконама академског сликара Настаса Стефановића потиче из времена изградње цркве. Општим архитектонским изгледом, ова црква представља пример романтичарске архитектуре из друге половине 19. века.

Због ширења површинског копа рудника Колубара планирана је њена селидба као и цркве брвнаре, са којом дели заједничку порту.

У близини се налази Запис храст код цркве (Вреоци).

Pampa is a specialized investment firm, pioneer in agribusiness and food investing in Latin America, one of largest and most dynamic agricultural regions in the world, with a track record of identifying early and executing investments in sectors expected to be favored by the forces shaping the agricultural space globally. In 2002, Pampa was one of the first vehicles to offer international investors opportunities in farmland in South America. Since 2008, Pampa offered international investors exposure to other opportunities across the agribusiness and food value chain focusing on agricultural productivity (ag machinery, precision farming, proprietary hybrid seeds and crop protection), grain-to-protein conversion and logistics.
Pampa seeks to acquire agribusinesses with sound underlying business fundamentals, long-term competitive advantages, leading market positions, disruptive technologies or business models and strong product portfolios that through clear strategies, innovation and disciplined management can generate significant shareholder value. Pampa believes the implementation of such plans requires taking an active management approach, given the complexity of acquiring family-owned companies, the cultural barriers for incorporating new technologies, the magnitude of the operational challenges and the scarcity of management and financial resources for companies in the sector. Pampa believes its focus on agribusiness and food, as well as its know-how, experience and connections, provide a major edge versus other financial investors.

Tesseract is a 3-dimensional block-packing game, inspired of course by
that other 2-dimensional block-packing game, and more specifically
[Frac](http://theodor.lauppert.ws/games/frac.htm) and
[Frac4D](http://theodor.lauppert.ws/games/frac4d.htm). Try it out
[here](http://tesseract.js.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com).

![screenshot](http://tesseract.js.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/screenshot.png)

## how to play

Use the arrow keys to move blocks in the X and Z directions
(i.e. along the plane of the floor). Press V to rotate the current
piece. Press the spacebar to drop a piece. Alternatively, use the
number pad to move pieces in 8 different directions (includes
diagonals, with 1, 3, 7, and 9), rotate with 5, and drop with 0.

## game notes

Frac (and Frac4D) both use a slightly odd projection called [oblique,
or cabinet,
projection](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_projection). Ideally
it should be possible to alter the projection simply by swapping out
the projection matrix with an orthogonal projection, which would allow
more intuitive rotation controls (mouse-look anyone?). There are some
bugs however that have prevented me from making this work perfectly,
so it's not supported right now.

Adding the fourth dimension is a higher priority, and it's not clear
to me that free rotation would make the game easier to play, although
rotation by fixed degrees certainly would. (Frac4D docks the player
points for rotating the board, and I find it extremely disorienting to
rotate while handling a piece in 4-dimensions, so I think there's some
improvement that could be made here, and intend to explore it).

## implementation notes

It's written in JavaScript using WebGL, and depends on the quite nice
[gl-matrix](http://glmatrix.net/) library for matrix math, but nothing
else, except a "modern" browser: I tested with Chrome, Firefox and
Safari on Mac OS X, and they all work, but you might need to fiddle to
enable WebGL depending on your browser and OS. If you find a problem
with it, but [this site](http://get.webgl.org/) works for you, please
let me know!

1) A pseudonym of Lymington, Hampshire, UK singer-songwriter Jasmine Van den Bogaerde. Bogaerde, born May 15, 1996, is the daughter of concert pianist, Sophie Roper-Curzon and writer, Rupert Bogarde. She was raised in a mill house on the Pylewell Park estate (Lymington, UK) of Birdy's maternal grandfather, Baron Teynham. She attended Priestlands School in Lymington, UK until the age of 16, before going on to Brockenhurst Sixth Form College to study for her A-levels. In 2011, at the age of 14, she released Bon Iver-cover track "Skinny Love", which reached #17 on the UK Singles Chart.
After she won the Under 18s category of the UK talent contest Open Mic UK at the age of 12, Bogaerde was soon offered a publishing contract by Good Soldier Songs Ltd, run by Christian Tattersfield, chairman of Warner Music UK.
Her self-titled debut album, "Birdy", was released on November 7, 2011 and featured "Skinny Love" and "1901".
Her second studio album, "Fire Within", was released September 23, 2013. It featured 11 original songs, either written or co written by Birdy including Strange Birds, co-written with Sia.
On March 25th 2016, Birdy's third album "Beautiful Lies" was released, it featured the singles, "Keeping Your Head Up" and "Wild Horses" Once again her songwriting abilities were evident as she wrote or co wrote all of the 14 tracks.
Also in 2016 she was featured on the Sigma single, Find Me which was only a minor success in the UK. Her song Ghost In The Wind" also appeared on the soundtrack of the film The Edge Of Seventeen
Bogaerde's music is described as folk, pop, indie folk. She cites her early music influences as Classical Music and Pop music that her parents would play. along with her own influences, which are so evident in her music(Bon Iver, George Michael and Keane)

2) A pseudonym of Xavier Duquesne (b. 1972, Paris France - aka Last.FM user 'DjBirdy'), who first got in touch with electronic music in the year 1989, during a trip to Detroit where he spent most of his time in underground clubs.
A few years later, he started working for various party organizers in Lyon and began to spin records at private rave parties. Famous French Progressive DJ Max Le Sale Gosse then decided to book him for an official party. And his career took a big step forward. His skills brought him up to play in clubs like Space and Fridge in Lyon and abroad in Spain and Lithuania, among other locations.
Recently he met with Nûgen, a talented French progressive house producer, and became part of the Nu-records label. Its on Nu Recs that Birdy released his first Dj-set album.
After settling down in Paris, he played at Folies Pigale, Vinyl, Batofar, les Bains Douches, took part in the huge Techno Parade, and currently organizes private events going towards progressive sounds, inspired by artists like Timo Maas, Francesco Farfa, Sasha, Digweed, Luke Dzierzek or Chris Lake… Together with Nûgen they performed at Morphismes's parties « Quattrocento » which soon became the best progressive house parties in Paris.
2006 took a new turn with the birth of the Connected Parties, along with deejays Faskil, Be (KRM, Atlant rec.) and Boombatcha, Uk (Sumsonic). Already a huge success, those parties have an unmatchable family spirit.
2007 now see his first collaboration with Faskil as a remixer with the release of Guillaume Nyckees's Elision, which remain 1st download for over a month on Resonant Vibes

Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present they don't matter
Now the future's sorted out
Watch her moving in elliptical patterns
Think it's not what you say
What you say is way too complicated
For a minute though I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's twenty seconds till the last call
You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey
Lie down you know it's easy
Like we did it over summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
You're going hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No I wouldn't let you think so
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Girlfriend, oh your girlfriend is drifting away
Past and present 1855-1901
Watch them built up a material tower
Think it's not gonna stay anyway
I think it's overrated

The DPPC relies heavily on technology and consequently the DPPC IT Unit is a vital part of every activity.
Considering the small number of staff and large responsibility the DPPC has, it would be impossible to manage the volume of cases received without the contributions of DPPC's Information Technology Unit. The DPPC relies heavily on technology and consequently the DPPC IT Unit is a vital part of every activity. Every DPPC unit depends on the IT Unit to develop, modify and make available the most current and innovative technology; and by doing this the DPPC IT Unit helps to make the agency as efficient and effective as possible.
The DPPC Abuse Database is a one of a kind information management system developed at DPPC and primarily used to organize, store and report information about every abuse report, investigation, protective service action and oversight activity accomplished by DPPC staff. However, since its inception the database has evolved into an invaluable source of information not only about individual situations, but also about statewide trends regarding abuse of adults with disabilities.
Other state agencies, media outlets, service providers and a host of others request and receive information from the DPPC database annually. This information is utilized for news articles, service planning and court proceedings, to name just some of the uses.
Another major activity of DPPC's IT Unit is the development, operationalization and maintenance of the DPPC Digital Document Database. Developed through a project funded by the State Information Technology Department (ITD), the Digital Document Database has been approved by the State Board of Archives as the Commission's primary file system. Important agency information including investigation and oversight case files, historical documents, polices and procedures, legal documents and many other categories of information are stored in the Digital Document Database.
As a result of ITD's funding, the Department of Developmental Services, Department of Mental Health and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission became part of a network of state agencies all sharing important information through DPPC's Digital Document Database.

Ricky is a grad from Loyola Marymount University. And before he got into training, he spent much of his youth on a couch. He was of the generation that didn't play outside nearly as much as it should have. One day he discovered exercise and changed his entire life. Today he does what he did for himself; train individuals to move, and watch it change every area of their life. He holds four certifications with the National Council of Certified Personal Trainers, Crossfit, USA Weightlifting, and CrossFit Defense. But the wealth of his knowledge is from the wisdom of training and applying these methods to work for others. He values the art and science of exercise and nutrition and will forever be a student and practitioner of fitness. He has trained professional and college athletes, senior citizens, single moms, accomplished business persons, children, teens and nearly every demographic you could think of.
Eddie Mckenna
Eddie McKenna has been teaching Crossfit since 2008. He currently plays Rugby Super League for Santa Monica Rugby Club and has played for the United States numerous times. He played for the U19 Eagles in 2004 and 2005, and most recently, this past summer, for the West Coast National Team. Eddie is a big fan of any gymnastics move and will attempt to teach you a headstand until you get it down. Eddie loves helping people get into "badass" shape. And in his free time Eddie enjoys beach volleyball in the summer, paddle boarding, occasional rock gym and spending time with his family.

Mike "Aspi" Aspinwall – Yoga & Rowing For Athletes and Better Movement
Mike found yoga in 2002 when a rowing injury left him out of commission and in a lot of pain. The team doctor at UCLA advised surgery, but Michael couldn't see having back surgery at 22 years old. Not to mention, he wanted to row out the rest of his eligibility. So, Michael wandered down to YogaWorks and took his first Iyengar yoga class, hoping that a little stretching would get him back in a boat more quickly. What Michael found in yoga was WAY more than he ever expected or bargained for. After graduating and finishing his eligibility in a boat, Michael became a certified vinyasa yoga teacher through the YogaWorks Teacher Training Program under Annie Carpenter. He, then, began teaching in the yoga program at UCLA. He was a featured instructor in Brittany Roberts's Yoga Style DVD series, and now enjoys teaching Saturday mornings at Heyday. Heyday Yoga classes take into consideration that week's workouts, and the kinds of mobility necessary to get athletes on the road to recovery over the weekend, so they can hit it hard again come Monday. Classes are approachable, and small enough that Michael can cater to the needs of who ever shows up, regardless of ability, flexibility, or previous yoga experience. So basically, all you have to do is show up.

Mr. Plaisted shredding on guitar.
BYU baseball players offering advice.
Today at Payson Jr. High, we held an assembly to celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Students participated in the 500 Mile Walk touting the anti-bullying posters they'd made with the help of their teachers and fellow classmates. At the assembly, students sang encouraging songs to help us remember the importance of being a friend to everyone. We also heard from some of the baseball players at Brigham Young University who shared some of their experiences and wisdom about being kind and choosing good friends. It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved! Remember, Grizzlies: bullying is trash. Kick it to the curb!

Q: Is it possible to "stack" the outputs of 2 or more buck converters? Is it possible to "stack" the outputs of 2 or more buck converters?
The buck converter circuit in question I am considering is the 48v to 5v typical example circuit from page 20 of the datasheet PDF for the "LT1339ISW#PBF" part found on mouser here.
LT1339ISW datasheet
I am posting from mobile, but if I can figure out how to directly post the datasheet circuit I will edit it in here later.
I wondered if it was possible to get the outputs of 2 of these buck converters to "stack" their output voltages by connecting the 48v inputs in series to a 96v voltage source and floating the grounds on the second buck converter.
I am thinking that if done correctly the 2 buck converters would share the 96v input source just like 2 equal valued resistors in series will equally share a voltage across them. And as long as you connect the load correctly, the outputs of the 2 buck converters would then act as if they were 5v voltage sources adding to an output of 10V at the up to 50A max rated output current.
For the sake of simplifying the question I am assuming it is possible to balance the inductance and capacitance of the the "stacked" buck converter circuits such that they function the same as the values in the single example circuit mentioned above.
I do realize that even if it is possible, this would not be the most practical circuit since real world components have varying tolerances and any significant imbalance or failure would likely cause cascading failures several other places in the combined circuit. At these voltages and currents it would make for a great risk of fire and injury to nearby people and objects.

A: Usually: no.
Buck converters are usually not isolated, i.e. the output shares a potential with the input. Most often, that's ground. Therefore, "stacking" would just short the output of the lower one to ground.
"Stacking" on the input simply makes no sense, these are not resistors that share the voltage drop. So that can't work out at all.
You could also build an isolated converter using the same or a different IC, but you'll need to come up with a rather complex method of feedback from the secondary side if you want competing, stacked regulation to still be good. Can't think of a case where that complexity would make sense more than you building a regulator meant for 96 V.

A:
... just like 2 equal valued resistors in series ...

No. Buck converters have switching transistors.

Figure 1. Image source: Toshiba Semicon Storage.
Since your two buck converters will switch asynchronously you can be guaranteed that at various times one transistor will be on and the other off. You will not get even division of voltage across the two devices. The one that is off will have full line voltage and the one that is on will have zero current (because the other is off).
That's the first problem.

Figure 2. All the pink lines are connected together forming a nice short-circuit across the input terminals of the lower switcher. (Image by author using Toshiba artwork above.)
The second is that usually there is no isolation between input and output. Connecting the outputs in parallel will short-circuit the power inputs on the lower of the two units.

Series connected inputs + series connected outputs

Figure 3. An attempt at series connecting the inputs and series connecting the outputs won't work either. The lower switcher is completely bypassed.

A: See the topology image of the buck converter:

You are planning something like this:

It's still one converter except the control electronics will not get any more power from the input and the diode path of the upper converter  is blocked, both are blocked by the lower converter. Or the diode path is not blocked, if the switching transistor has a drain-source reverse diode. But without proper simulation the function of the control circuit is a puzzle which cannot be reasoned beforehand.
When the system is started the output capacitor of the lower converter is empty, the upper one gets all of the input voltage. It's maybe not designed for +100% overvoltage and probably puffs the smoke out.
Does not work, forget it!

A: I believe now that I misunderstood the question, but as I was very insisting in several comments, here is what I had in mind, namely stacking the output voltages of several regulators (which was not asked).
Barring internal details, both an LDO and a Buck look like this:

The internal details really do not matter for this fundamental analysis. However, the switching nature of the Buck will demand more care in a real implementation.
Output voltage stacking of such regulators is possible:

But of course, the output transistors of the top regulator have to tolerate the voltage to Ground. Also the regulation will become worse as more regulators are stacked, as each of their misregulations add up. Also, problems with oscillations can be harder to fix. So I agree, it is not a straightforward or usual thing to do, but is not fundamentally impossible.

"On June 20th, Canada's Finance Ministers came together to help middle class Canadians achieve a safe and secure retirement by strengthening the CPP for generations to come. At that time, the newly elected government of Manitoba indicated its intent to give the matter careful consideration. Today, I am pleased to welcome Manitoba to this historic agreement-in-principle, which now includes all CPP participating provinces.
"A stronger CPP comes at a time when people in the middle class are working harder than ever, but don't always feel like they're getting ahead. Too many people are worried that they won't have enough money for their retirement and fewer and fewer—particularly young people—have workplace pensions to fall back on.

The 1953 Belgian GP: By the Numbers
Analysis of 1953 Belgian GP
Can Greatness Be Expressed Numerically?
Yes, to some extent, I believe greatness, in the context of Formula 1, can be expressed numerically; however, numbers have their limits. The 1953 Belgian GP remained as a 36 lap race over a grueling, high-speed 8.7 mile track. Now, let's walk through the Grand Prix weekend. By the close of the qualifying process, Juan-Manuel Fangio had thrown down the gantlet with a time of 4:30.0. This would not have been a track record, but only because the 1951 regulations had permitted much larger engines. But, this would have been a record under the Formula 2 regulations. His average pace, over the entire lap, was just shy of 117 miles per hour. This is shocking for a 2.0 liter/.5 liter supercharged engine limit. Reports suggest that this performance was above and well-beyond what was expected–the lap of a true master, to be sure.
Here's the important part, Fangio is commanding the new Maserati F1 Chassis. This single lap must've cracked through the Belgian air like a shot directly at Ferrari. Maserati was not messing about and had signaled to Ferrari that this season would not be like last year.
Fast forward to the race. González follows up Fangio's right-handed power-punch with a quick left-handed jab. On the second lap, he lapped the track in 4:34.0, a time nobody would touch for the entirety of the race. Unfortunately, reliability became the issue of the day. Ferrari's Alberto Ascari won the race with Luigi Villoresi, also in a Ferrari, coming in second.
By the Numbers: Pace/Time
I was going to run through these numbers. Unfortunately, after I graphed it, I noticed a glaring flaw in the data. 1953 cannot be compared to 1952 because it was a wet race, but only for part of the weekend. 1953 cannot be compared to 1950 and 1951 because those were under different engines. So, I present you with a neat graph showing the average lap speeds over the last few years.

Brian Friel's Dancing at Lughnasa is a drama about five Irish sisters – spinsters in their 20s, 30s and 40s – living together in the family home in Ballybeg, County Donegal in 1936. It won the Tony for Best Play in 1991, seven years before it became a movie, with Meryl Streep doing one of her famous chameleonic accents, faith and begorrah.
The Tampa cast – the five female leads, and the three male actors in supporting roles – roam around the not-quite-finished stage, doing leg-stretch warmups and joking with each other – mostly about their Irish accents. They get in each other's face and draw out the word "Loooonahsa" (that's how it's pronounced) and say things like "Oy tink yer roight" (I think you're right). There's a lot of laughter. It sounds like Sinead O'Connor, Bono and Maureen O'Hara from The Quiet Man are playing a spirited game of skittles.
It's the actors' first day out of the rehearsal room and onto the stage, which is divided into halves – one side is the cozy kitchen of the Mundy sisters' cottage, the other is the view out the kitchen window, of their garden.
Director David Jenkins tells the cast to be careful, that the "grass" is not entirely glued down yet. He also warns them that, wherever they go in the garden, don't touch the tree.
Katrina Stevenson, who plays Meg, the jokester of the family, climbs onto the newly-arrived dining room table. During the show, she'll dance a spirited jig up there, while her "sisters" clap and cheer. Stephenson tries a bit of her dance, and the table doesn't so much as quiver. After she consults with Jenkins, the director pronounces it good to go.
As they begin Act 1, the transformation is astonishing. Even though they're dressed in their street clothes – jeans and T-shirts, mostly – the five women become the Mundy sisters, interacting and overlapping, each assuming the distinctive traits and personalities of her character.
A big part of the charm of Dancing at Lughnasa is the tender way it balances heavy drama with lighthearted moments. Kind of like life itself.
"This is the final layer that we as actors are kind of putting on top," Stevenson says afterwards. "They all have a mask that they wear in front of each other, in front of the group, and especially whenever anybody from the outside comes in.
Even stern and judgmental Kate, the eldest, is looking forward to turning a spirited jig at Lughnasa as a respite from her hardscrabble days.
Chris, the youngest sister, is raising a young son born out of wedlock. Michael, who lives in the house with his mum, only appears as an adult, narrating the play from the sidelines.
"A lot of the conflicts the sisters have are not external, they're internal," says Emily Belvo, who plays Chris. "Every single one of us has an internal problem that's down in our core – and the way this show is written, if you take one person out, it's not the same story. We need each other, we really feed off of one another. We react to one another.
According to director Jenkins, "textual analysis" – i.e. looking at a play on paper – is only a small part of the adventure for cast and crew.
"Everything changes once you start to get it up on its feet, and you put it in real humans' mouths and bodies," he explains. "The relationships and the stories that are on paper really are two-dimensional until that point. Then you get these five unique women telling these stories, using those characters, and things start shaking out that are probably unique to each production. Unpacking a lot of that has been pretty interesting.
Dancing at Lughnasa opens Friday, June 15 (preview performances June 13 and 14). Information and tickets here.
