..Another round of thunderstorms with flood and flash flood potential and Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail potential again across much of Southern New England this afternoon and evening..
..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed portions of New England from Western Massachusetts northward through Southern New Hampshire in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather but all areas should monitor for thunderstorms with flood/flash flood potential and isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail as the primary threats..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 1 PM EDT Saturday through evening to monitor flood/flash flood and severe weather potential..
Early this morning, south coastal Massachusetts from the Westport, Dartmouth, New Bedford and Fairhaven area through Cape Cod had a severe thunderstorm move through the area with pockets of wind damage, flooding and ground strikes of lightning as it went through the area. Another area of briefly heavy rain will affect this area over the next couple hours.
Satellite imagery shows significant clearing working its way through portions of Connecticut, Western Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. It is unclear how much further east the clearing will go but this clearing will allow for the atmosphere to destabilize and combined with good shear profiles will bring about another round of thunderstorms with flood and flash flood potential and isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail potential as well. The greatest risk area appears to be across Southwest New Hampshire, Western and Central Massachusetts and Connecticut but eastern areas should monitor as well. SPC has placed the area from Western Massachusetts to Southern New Hampshire northward into Northern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather today.
..After Flash Flooding in parts of Northwest Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire Friday evening, the stagnant weather pattern of warm and humid conditions and thunderstorms with a flood to flash flood potential and possibly isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail as the primary threats will continue again Saturday Afternoon and Evening with the greatest threat in Southwest New Hampshire, Western and Central Massachusetts and Connecticut..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible to likely again Saturday Afternoon/Evening. Another coordination message will be issued by 1 PM Saturday with more complete information on the potential for flash flooding/severe weather Saturday. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook..
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms with flood to flash flood potential for urban areas and small rivers/streams, damaging winds and large hail possible this Friday Afternoon and Evening across Southwest New Hampshire, Western and Central Massachusetts, Connecticut and possibly into Rhode Island depending on amount of clearing and heating that develops later today. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has this region in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather today..
..A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for all of the NWS Taunton Coverage Area except for Cape Cod and the Islands..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible again this Friday Afternoon and Evening..
Thursday Evening into Friday Morning, some heavy rainfall occurred across Western Massachusetts into Western Connecticut with amounts of 1-2.5″ occurring. Amounts of around or less than 1″ occurred north and east of these locations. Central Hartford County Connecticut was impacted with flash flooding near the time of the evening commute Thursday Evening and SKYWARN Ops were active during that timeframe. Overnight the progressive nature of the rainfall kept significant flooding from occurring and most of the synoptic rainfall went into Eastern New York State.
As we get into today's potential activity, there are a few showers and thunderstorms with brief heavy rainfall in the area this morning. These are expected to move out and weather models are expecting drier air at the mid-levels to cause skies to clear particularly over Southwest New Hampshire, Western and Central Massachusetts and Connecticut possibly into Rhode Island. If this clearing occurs as expected, this will set the stage for thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and flood/flash flood potential for urban areas and small streams and isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail as well. SPC has placed this area in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather for today. Shear profiles would be sufficient to support severe weather potential but the key for today will be the amount of heating and destabilization and clearing that occurs. Satellite imagery as of 830 AM were showing signs of clearing and clouds thinning across parts of Eastern New York and the mid-atlantic and that may enter parts of western and central New England later today.
..Potential for Heavy Rainfall, urban/poor drainage and possibly small river/stream flooding from thunderstorms later Thursday Afternoon through Friday Morning across much of Southern New England. An Isolated Strong to Severe Thunderstorm threat with damaging winds and large hail also is possible depending on amount of heating particularly over interior Western New England..
..A Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for Thursday Afternoon into Friday Afternoon for all of the NWS Taunton Coverage Area except for Cape Cod and the Islands..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible later Thursday Afternoon and possibly Friday Morning depending on how the flash flood threat evolves as well as any severe weather potential..
On Wednesday, the strong to severe thunderstorm potential was not realized as the impulse in the atmosphere was displaced by the area that was most unstable from daytime heating. A few thunderstorms with heavy rainfall did occur but none were strong to severe.
For Thursday Afternoon into Friday Afternoon, the main concern is for flash flooding. At 730 AM, Doppler Radar showed an area of rain and embedded thunderstorms over Eastern Pennsylvania moving northeast to east-northeastward. This should arrive in Southern New England later Thursday Afternoon and tonight bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and embedded thunderstorms. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the entire NWS Taunton coverage area except for Cape Cod and the Islands from Thursday Afternoon to Friday Afternoon for potential rainfall around 2″ with higher amounts in any thunderstorms that may track over the same area. The flood potential would be for urban/poor drainage areas and smaller rivers and streams.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible as a secondary threat across interior Western New England with damaging winds and hail as the primary threats. Satellite imagery shows cloud cover over much of Southern New England, however, their is clearing noted over New York State and the mid-atlantic ahead of the area of rain and embedded thunderstorms in Eastern Pennsylvania tracking northeast to east-northeastward. It is possible that if that clearing can work into portions of interior Western New England that a few strong to severe thunderstorms could occur before evolving into more of a flood to flash flood threat. This will be monitored as we get into this afternoon.
..Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms remain likely today over much of Southern New England as heat and humidity continues to combine with weak disturbances in the atmosphere to allow for isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorm development. Damaging Winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding are the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) continued to have the region in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather Today..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 1 PM EDT Wednesday Afternoon lasting through Wednesday Evening..
Severe Weather potential for today still looks more active than Tuesday across the region as a more defined impulse and trigger will move into Southern New England as we get into the afternoon and evening hours with sufficient instability. This will set the stage for yet another round of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms potentially more numerous than what occurred on Tuesday. It is noted on Satellite imagery that there is some clouds over New York State with the thickest clouds over Northern New York State but in Southern New England skies remain mostly sunny to sunny which should allow for sufficient destabilization of the atmosphere before any cloud cover moves into the area. This instability coupled with wind shear profiles that will be a bit stronger than the last two days should allow for a bit greater coverage of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding as the main threats. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) continues to have much of Southern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather for today. The threat timeframe for severe weather should be anytime after 2-3 PM this afternoon.
SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 1 PM EDT Wednesday. This will be the last coordination message for Wednesday's severe weather potential. Additional severe weather potential continues to exist for the remainder of this week into this weekend and will be monitored with coordination messages issued as required. Below is the NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook and SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook.
..Another Round of Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms potentially more numerous than Tuesday are expected across much of interior Southern New England and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed much of Southern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather again on Wednesday with damaging winds, large hail and urban and poor drainage flooding as the main threats..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will likely commence at 1 PM EDT Wednesday lasting through Wednesday Evening. The start time may be adjusted slightly as we get closer to the potential severe weather event Wednesday..
On Tuesday, strong to severe thunderstorms were more isolated today affecting portions of Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut with isolated pockets of wind damage. Wind damage was a bit more concentrated in the Tolland to Willington to Ashford CT area where the only Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Tuesday was issued in the NWS Taunton Coverage area. A bit less instability than Monday and less of a trigger helped to make for a more isolated severe weather threat for Tuesday.
As we get into Wednesday, a more defined impulse and trigger will move into Southern New England as we get into the afternoon and evening hours with greater instability. This will set the stage for yet another round of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms potentially more numerous than what occurred on Tuesday. Instability should be sufficient coupled with wind shear profiles that we will be a bit stronger than the last two days. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed much of Southern New England in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather on Wednesday with damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding as the main threats.
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence at 2 PM EDT today. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has upgraded Southern New England from the Cape Cod Canal north and west to a Slight Risk for Severe Weather today. Strong to damaging winds, large hail and urban/poor drainage flooding are the main threats. This will be the last coordination message on the Tuesday 6/25/13 severe weather threat. Below is the SPC Day-1 Convective Outlook and NWS Taunton Hazardous Weather Outlook..
..Intense heat and humidity will continue today with the potential for another round of Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms with urban and poor drainage flooding, strong to damaging winds and hail as the primary threats..
..The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed portions of Northern New York and Northern New England in a Slight Risk for severe weather today with low severe weather probabilities extending into portions of Southern New England..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible again during this afternoon and tonight..
Yesterday, a triggering mechanism with cooling aloft allowed for the formation of isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail and urban and poor drainage flooding as the main threats. For today, a triggering mechanism is a bit more questionable which may allow for less coverage and/or less intensity of thunderstorms for this afternoon and evening. Nonetheless, isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms with urban and poor drainage flooding, strong to damaging winds, and hail as the primary threats are possible for today. The Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of Northern New York and Northern New England in a Slight Risk for severe weather today with low severe weather probabilities extending into portions of Southern New England particularly northern and western portions of interior Southern New England. Some models indicate a line of thunderstorms possible with an isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms within that line of storms. Convective potential will be monitored throughout the day today.
Potential for severe weather will exist nearly every day this week into early next week. Coordination Messages will provide day-to-day updates on this potential as we move through the week.
..Strong Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and an urban/poor drainage flooding risk expected late Monday Afternoon into Evening across portions of Southern New England particularly interior locations. Isolated severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail are possible as well but currently heavy rainfall is the main threat..
..There are thunderstorm chances each day this week with isolated strong to severe thunderstorms possible. By later this week and weekend, a greater severe weather potential may exist. Coordination Messages will be issued over the course of the week breaking any thunderstorm/severe weather potential down on a day-to-day basis..
..SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible late Monday Afternoon and Evening..
Intense heat and humidity will be in Southern New England for much of this week allowing for temperatures in the low 90s away from the coast with 80s over coastal areas. As impulses track around the high pressure ridge that is allowing for the heat and humidity over the region, it will allow for thunderstorm development each day this week with the potential for at least isolated severe thunderstorms. The Severe Weather potential may increase as we get into late this week and this weekend. Coordination messages will break the potential down on a day-to-day basis.
For Monday, as we get into later this afternoon and this evening, an impulse will move into the region allowing for thunderstorm development. The main threat will be heavy rainfall and urban/poor drainage flooding since wind shear profiles are weak but there is some potential of isolated severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail as the primary threats. Thunderstorms could develop as early as after 2 PM but are more likely after 500 PM starting in western interior locations. The setup may allow for thunderstorms to continue after sunset as cooling in the upper levels of the atmosphere allow thunderstorms to continue over the area and track into the rest of interior Southern New England.

Blaze International Limited is in a Farm-In Joint Venture Agreement with Meteoric Resources NL over the highly prospective Barkly Copper-Gold Project. Blaze has the right to earn up to an 80% interest in the project. The project is located around 30 km east of the town of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory (Figure 1).
The highest priority target within the Barkly Project is the Bluebird Prospect. It comprises a 1.6km-long gravity ridge open to the east where shallow geochemical drilling by Meteoric Resources identified a 600m-long copper anomaly, also open to the east. Follow-up drilling confirmed Tennant Creek-style copper-gold mineralisation associated with ironstone. The ironstones and mineralisation are often discordant to the host sediments and are considered to be a high-grade variant of the iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits found in Proterozoic terranes in Australia.
Blaze's primary objective is to estimate a JORC compliant mineral resource and ultimately to develop a mining project at the Bluebird Prospect1, 2. Bluebird is the highest priority and most advanced prospect within the Barkly Project area. Systematic close spaced drilling will aim to accurately define the grade and the geometry of the Cu-Au-Bi mineralisation.
Early drilling was very successful with all holes intersecting significant Cu-Au-Bi mineralisation. The standout holes were BBDD-2: 20m at 8.17g/t Au, 0.61% Cu and 0.22% Bi from 157m (Including 4 metres at 37.9g/t Au, 0.66% Cu and 0.80% Bi from 169m) and BBRC-5: 25m at 1.9% Cu and 0.3g/t Au from 69m (Including 4 metres at 8.99% Cu and 1.06g/t Au from 74 metres). Based on our drilling results, the mineralisation is now defined to a depth of at least 150m vertical from surface and over a strike length of up to 120m. The mineralisation starts at less than 50m below surface.
The highest grade mineralisation is located on the footwall contact of the ironstone body. BBRC-2, which was drilled previously by Meteoric Resources, did not penetrate this footwall contact position (Figure 2). This is the reason for the narrower and lower grade intercept in BBRC-2 compared to the recent drilling by Blaze. The very high grade gold intersected by BBDD-2 is a particularly encouraging development for the Bluebird Prospect as it is the deepest hole drilled to date. Gold grades and mineralisation thickness appear to be increasing substantially with depth.
The next phase of drilling at Bluebird will aim to extend the mineralisation to the east, west, and at depth. Blaze estimates that a drilling program of approximately 2200m comprising approximately 14 holes should be sufficient to estimate an initial JORC mineral resource for Bluebird.
Figure 3 - Long section of Bluebird, looking north, showing recent drilling, historic drilling, planned drilling and new geological interpretation.
High-grade mineralisation at Bluebird is directly comparable in many respects, including grades, to other Tennant Creek style mines. Research by Blaze International has revealed some similarities between the mineralised system at Bluebird and the Peko and Nobles Nob deposits, both located just 20km away. The ore metal ratio appears to be similar to the Peko deposit. These comparisons are very positive as the Peko Mine produced 3.6Mt @ 3.5g/t Au and 4% Cu for 400,000oz Au and 146,000t Cu, and Nobles Nob produced 2Mt at 17g/t Au for 1.1Moz.
Mineralisation at Bluebird is hosted by a chlorite-hematite breccia body which transitions laterally to a magnetite hematite ironstone. The chlorite-hematite breccia is interpreted to be the result of alteration associated with the Cu-Au-Bi mineralising event of a pre-existing magnetite ironstone body. The main difference between Bluebird and Peko is that the gangue associated alteration at Bluebird is dominated by chlorite–hematite whereas at Peko the dominant gangue associated alteration is hematite-quartz.
To date the strike length of the Bluebird prospect is approximately 120m and the overall thickness is approximately 20m. It should be noted that Bluebird is still open along strike and down dip, and appears to be increasing in thickness with depth.
The central cross section at Bluebird has produced two very high grade intercepts in BBRC-5 and BBDD-2 with relatively subdued intercepts in BBDD-1 and BBRC-2. Grade changes appear to be related to changes in dip, similar to the Peko deposit. Structural observations on the diamond core in BBDD-2 revealed the presence of relatively flat dipping east west striking structures associated with the very high grade mineralisation. These structures are interpreted to be related to thrust faulting.
1 At this stage, the potential quantity and grade of the Bluebird mineralisation is conceptual in nature, as Blaze International has determined that insufficient work has been undertaken to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.
2 At this stage it is unknown whether a mining scenario will be achieved at the Bluebird Prospect.
3 Figures of the Peko Deposit and other relevant information about the Peko mineralisation came from "Geological Report on Peko Gold Mine, Tennant Creek Gold-Field" by J.F Ivanac, 1950. The grades shown on Figure 4 are indications only based on an average of spot grades plotted on the historic cross section.
Two important geophysical datasets for targeting Tennant Creek style Cu-Au-Bi mineralisation are aeromagnetics and gravity. A number of companies have collected aeromagnetic and gravity data within the Barkly Project area in numerous surveys over several decades. Blaze has acquired the raw data from these historic surveys and is re-processing, gridding and imaging the data.
The reprocessed, gridded and imaged data, in conjunction with the surface geochemical data, will allow Blaze geologists to fingerprint the signature of the Bluebird mineralisation and to look for other similar features within the Barkly Project area. A series of targets will be generated and ranked based on coincident magnetic, gravity and geochemical anomalies similar to Bluebird and/or other deposits in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF).
Any areas of no coverage or poor data quality in the aforementioned datasets will be re surveyed to provide full coverage of the project. This will allow a comprehensive targeting program to be undertaken and maximise the chance of new discoveries.
The magnetite rich ironstones hosting the mineralisation strongly contrast with the relatively weakly magnetic Warramunga Formation country rock sediments. The ironstones and associated sulphide mineralisation are also denser than the country rock and may therefore be amenable to detection by gravity surveying. Gravity is particularly important in targeting nonmagnetic hematite hosted deposits. Peko and Nobles Nob are both examples of hematite hosted orebodies within the TCMF.
The licence that comprises the Barkly Project lies on a Tennant Creek Station pastoral lease which is privately owned. The project is accessed by regional access roads and station tracks via the Gosse River Road.
The Barkly Project is located on granted exploration licence EL28620. The lease is owned 100% by Meteoric Resources. Blaze International has the option to earn an 80% interest in the lease by spending $600,000 on exploration and commencing a feasibility study.

课程 4(共 4 门,Advanced System Security Design 专项课程)
In this MOOC, we learn RBAC and ABAC access control to facilitate the specification and management of access policies. We learn examples of how RBAC is supported by modern systems such as Docker and AWS IAM. We learn XACML 3.0 and an ABAC implementation for controling secure access to web documents and network resources with attribute certificates, and XACML architecture components. We show how to exhance the data security with GeoEncryption, Secure Enhanced Geolocking, and R2D2 concepts which deliver data to right places via right path. We show how Google Map and Web Crytpo API can be integrated for encrypted document on web browser without download apps and associate them with geolocking area to restrict unauthorize and improper accesses.
this is good , but i think it's gonna be better by including subtitle inside a video.
the course is not easy but useful for comprehension
Authentication and Role Based Access Control
In this module, we discuss the definition of the authentication, the types of authentication credentials, and the authentication process and related requirements. we learn the Role Based Access Control, short for RBAC, which is an security approach to restricting system access to authorized users and to help specify organization's security policies reflecting its organizational structure. We use Docker Universal Control Plan and AWS IAM access control as examples for illustrating how RBAC simplifies the access control specification and management.
Authentication Credentials6:50
Edward Chow
In this lesson, we discuss the definition of authentication, the type of authentication, credentials, and authentication process and leadership requirements. In secure network systems, we verify the identity of a user, a process or a device before we allow them to access the resources and services provided by the networked system. This is as defined in the NIST Glossary web page. The resources can be computer and storage. The services can be web services, database services, DNS query service and hosting services. The creation and verify of identity information is related to identity management. One example is a AWS, Integrated Access Management, short name for IAM system, which we discussed in the cloud security module. It allow us to create a password, create access key, secret key, public key, and private key for a user. As a credential for future access, it also ties the entity to certain rules. For example, simple read only viewer power users who can create a managed instance or administrator who can create other users and to certain services such as EC2 or S3. The rules also implies certain privileges in the system. EC2 means Amazon Elastic Cloud 2, an S3 is short for Amazon Simple Storage Services. The new trends in authentication include first, Single sign on which simplifies the access of collections of networked system by allow the user to authenticate once, obtain certain token, and then use that token to access the rest of the system. Another popular trend is to use user's existing credential on other system such as Facebook or Google and rely on the third party authentication services to verify the identity of the users. It simplify and shorten the identification process since the user, in most cases, doesn't have to go through the long registration process. There is an OAuth 2.0 open standard that specify such access delegations. Recently, we have started to see many healthcare organizations using multi-factor authentication, including the use of onetime code in conjunction with password or secret personal questions. In secure network systems, we create credential for authenticating purposes. The type and example of authenticate credential include things that you know such as passwords, documents you have such as digital certificate signed by the CA and the reality private key. Note that you do not present the private key. You encrypt certain known data with your private key and then presents a cyber text and your digital certificates for others to verify your identity, which is included in the subject for you of the digital certificate. In OAuth or open authentication open standard, the user redirect the authentication request to a third party identity provider. The user provides their credential information to the third party identity provider and complete the authentication there. The third party then presents token back or OpenID certificate to the original authentication process for users to access the resources. With fingerprint reader as additional interface in a laptop or smartphone, the fingerprint can be used as credential for verify the identity of a user. This biometric info is used to authenticate you. The use of a combination of these different type of credential for verification the identity of a person is called multi factor authentication. The authentication process stop by the system asking a user to present their credentials before access the resources and services over the system. Since we do not want hackers to snatch the credential, we typically established during a secure connection such as SSH before sending in the credential. One of the chosen criteria for the credentials is it cannot be easily guessed or faked. One common practice is to require password to be of certain length. For example more than eight characters or even 12 character with certain cases, special character combination. In the next lesson, we'll talk about digital certificate creation.

NGA Super Stars
No, not a mistake - neither NBA nor even NFL but National Gallery of Art. And while art stars are often less heralded than athletes, their actions are no less eye catching. (Literally. ) Two of them caught the eyes of many people this week at the NGA in Washington - Alexander Calder in his 'tower' and Theaster Gates in another tower, both in the East Building. The museum celebrated both in different ways. Calder's grandson, Alexander "Sandy" Rower, appeared in a 'tete-a'tete' conversation with NGA curator Henry Cooper on Sunday afternoon for a wide ranging discussion focused generally on the issue of preserving his grandfather's memory. A press preview of Theaster Gates' first solo exhibit in Washington - titled 'The Minor Arts' - took place Tuesday ahead of Sunday's March 5 opening (due to run through September 4). Both men were proudly schooled long ago in the art of craftsmanship by their fathers but the connection between the two might seem to end there - at least outwardly, although both are associated with large installations. Even so, a remark by Mr. Rower that as head of the New York-based Calder Foundation he is still 'trying to figure out what' his famous relative was trying to say - almost an offhand comment, possibly meant to quiet any discussion of the subject. (After all, what an artist communicates can be different for different people at different times - and talk of this kind can get to sound very pretentious.)
If Calder and his grandson let the artist's work speak for him, Theaster Gates seemed to welcome the opportunity to tackle the challenge. He proved to be an articulate explainer, giving of himself in a manner both direct and theatrical. His work on show includes a discarded high school gym floor, a pitched wall of slate from a demolished church (each single piece viewed up close could be a painting), a 'canvas' of naugahyde, copper, and tar, and a stacked library of bound Ebony magazines plus several fetish objects - all reclaimed first-hand. He spoke of the meaningful "relation between art history and social history" - messages that are obvious when he mentions his devotion to the craft of roofing, calling it "my MFA." All objects that "refer to the decline of urban institutions and traditions" - as NGA literature explains it. There is something ominous in the room, some warning notes: witness the axe pinned to an entrance wall and a steady chopping sound in the background.
Calder similarly used everyday materials in his creations, but was he any less 'serious' and solemn even in his so-called playful approach?
Baggallini Broads
It's not for nothing that the savvy merchandizer tags this product "life's a journey."
And this notice really is not an advert for the most-conspicuous item that many women travelers carry with them in foreign climes, though of course it sounds that way. Baggallini does the job: a lightweight medium sized strap bag, easily slung over the body and leaving hands free. The cost is relatively low and the shape is somewhat anonymous - call it lack of any real style. Nothing to entice thieves who know real Chanel from a fake. (Women hoping to hide jewelry in their Chanel never would have a Baggallini on their body - unless they were smart.)
We are a club of sorts: owners of the humdrum practical accessory that never fails to do the job of holding just the right amount of items needed during a day on the road or in the air. It comes in small and larger sizes, in bland gray or smart black. The lining is the bright spot: mine is pink with a detachable change purse within. I've jammed more goods inside one of these than I thought possible and never lost a single thing. Zipper pockets are a natural organizer. Little pouches that can hold different kinds of money. That are cosmetic carriers. Big enough for notebooks and iPhone. Good looking enough to suffice on an evening out.
Let's hear it for other traveller tips. Like the savvy experienced adventurer who never fails to turn up in silk blouses that are normally a bother to pack. She rolls them in plastic and on occasion uses steam from a shower to undo wrinkles. Silk can be both warm and cool and it always feels good and looks chic. Plus they are lightweight compared to most cotton.
A City On the Sea
Dry Tortugas - a real city on an ever-changing sea that was a thriving hub of humanity during the Civil War. As many as 2000 people made a home inside the walls of Fort Jefferson - one of the nation's largest masonry forts - built atop a fragile atoll 70 miles west of Key West, Fla. It is now one of the most unusual National Parks you may never have heard of and its location one of the strangest, the setting being amidst the third largest reef system in the world. . Named after endangered green sea turtles - loggerheads, to be precise - native to the area, the park is actually a cluster of seven islands made up of coral reefs and sand that once stood as a bulwark protecting valuable shipping lanes between the Gulf of Mexico and the US mainland. At one time 420 canons were in place around the sides.
Begin in 1846, the fort was made of 15 million bricks in an area first discovered and named by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon in 1513. It only became a US protected park in 1992. Visitors today are strictly regulated and, while swimming, birding and snorkeling are permitted, numbers coming ashore at any one time are small. There is a camp site and a beach landing spot for seaplanes. A catamaran leaves early morning from a Key West marina with as many as 200 customers paying $150 minimum for a return trip. Breakfast and lunch are included, with drinks - even alcoholic concoctions sold late day for $5 each on the mid-afternoon run. That is a total of nearly five hours aboard for the experience of having a guided tour of the historic fort as well as time to splash and explore around the rough white sandy beaches. Showers and changing rooms are available as well as a hose to wash away the offending sand.
The former city's population consisted of military personnel and their families living in close quarters with slaves and a group of prisoners that included the doctor who had treated President Lincoln's assassin - John Wilkes Booth. The doctor was believed to have been among the sympathizers with knowledge ahead about the event. What's left today is whatever the imagination can supply from empty caverns in the fort (including a chapel) and outlines in the center yard of former living quarters. Uniformed park rangers are on duty ten days at a stretch before promised relief time in Key West - a thriving village-cum-city known for easy living where there is a theater, a movie house and two fine bookstores scattered among a multitude of restaurants and bars.
The park also is home to a ten-year-old salt water crocodile not thought to be aggressive. But beware: this is a wildlife refuge. Native creatures have priority! No wonder Ernest Hemingway wrote about the place.
Astride the Big One
How much does an Asian elephant weigh? The question isn't irrelevant, not when you are riding bareback stop one of them as I recently did some 10 miles outside of Luang Prabang in Laos. Sitting there, a dozen or more feet in the air, plenty more goes through your mind as well. Such as: what happens if I fall? Will this giant mammal - maybe the second largest on earth after the African elephant - even know I am no longer astride her? After all, it's my puny 100-plus pounds up against her many tons. And the seat, such as it was, is the large bumpy exterior of her very grand head.
Why should she care what happens to me?
My legs were trembling, my throat was dry. The experience was unsettling - the surreal somewhat unnatural quality of it all . I was engaged in pure touristic thrill mongering, of course, though our guide (not the mahout fellow who was actually in charge of my ride) explained nicely that the 17-year-old was merely doing her job. Previously she had been a member of a chain gang of sorts, forced to carry logs out of the forest for a commercial company that had no special regard for her welfare. The non-profit Elephant Village where we were visiting is a rescue operation helping the aged and injured beasts live out their years under better conditions. In return, the 14 elephants in their care take gawkers like me for brief excursions around the settlement - earning their keep so to speak - before being put out to graze. Did I hear it correctly? Each one needs 250 kilos of vegetation daily?
In exchange, each one receives premier care under the protection of a vet and handlers dedicated to their care.
I had been visiting the toilet for morning ablutions when I was called = come quick = to the staging platform. Others in the group had already taken up their positions with a mahout riding astride each one. I saw a line of incredibly large animals moving slowly off in a line with my pygmy-sized friends sitting nervously aboard .
We had been told that we would be given an education in elephant lore and learn about handling them, but there was no time for instructions. "Climb up," I was told. I scrambled up the ladder to the platform where the i patient animal waited. "Put your right leg over her neck. Lean forward and put your hands on her head."
I didn't know what to expect. I'd never had the privilege of touching an elephant's head before. I knew virtually nothing about the beasts except their reputation for being famously intelligent and loyal. It was difficult to imagine how my slight frame would communicate anything at all to the three - maybe four - ton creature. My hands touched two hairy humps with a slight indentation between. My feet swung free unless I chose to cling to the side of her body behind those flapping ears. Head and body swayed. I moved in rhythm with them as best I could. I had no idea what was going to happen next. There were no overt commands that I could tell. The mahout did all the 'talking' in ways I found difficult to understand.
I did learn how the trim Laotion guide managed to get up and down so quickly: he tapped her front leg which she then lowered so he could step on the knee, grab one of the great big ears and pull himself up and over. At one point - after we had walked slowly down a steep incline to the river and out into the water - he jumped off (or so it seemed), directing me in gestures to give him my iPhone so he could take a photo of me sitting singularly high and mighty. Not a bad picture to send home, as the mahout knew well.
We crossed the river for several hundred yards and climbed up a bank. I was tense, leaning forward, heart in my throat, nervous that I might somehow be conveying a wrong signal. I felt the texture of her head, then her ears, both rough to the touch. Our movements were not always aligned but it didn't seem to matter. I couldn't help but think that at any moment she could decide - a joke perhaps - to lower that large gray-brown head and send me packing. Or toss me in the air. I was helpless and knew it, , my inner thighs aching as I sought to stay balanced. Tourist materials usually show people enjoying such a ride while seated in a howdah - the wooden seat holding two people that is strapped beneath the elephant's belly. But not here - the howdahs still are commonplace but the Village forbids them since they are thought to rub and irritate the animals' skin.
The trip didn't last long - 20 or 30 minutes at most. I lost track of time. All I could think was how wondrous was the experience, happening during the month when Ringling Bros. would announced a decision to stop traditional tours. (Already, animal rights protestors had won the battle to keep elephants from performing.) We dismounted and were asked to buy some bananas and to feed the elephants = their tip perhaps. It was a relatively short journey but I had already bonded with my lady. She wouldn't mind your caressing her forehead, I was told. I looked into her left eye - a large unblinking saucer outlined with large lashes. She released her trunk - that magnificent feeding machine - and took in all I had to offer.
We would later visit the quarters where records are kept on each animal, having mostly to do with their medical care. Upstairs was a pictorial display upstairs about the elephants' long and troubled history as indentured servants. But then didn't elephants also help build Cambodia's Angkor Wat, too?
Our trip had taken us from the frenzied and fascinating street life of Hanoi to the relatively serene Buddhist haven of Luang Prabang and on to Cambodia's tourist-centered Siem Reap - key cities in each of three main South Asian countries. Each place a distinct culture in transition. We had exemplary custom- planned exposure to three different worlds gravely impacted by United States past foreign policies. At no time did we feel hostility though of course negatives are likely to be hidden behind the superlative promise of tourism.
If such a crash course by necessity allows only superficial impressions, it also builds strong memories. And even casual contacts can be lasting .

Rapha Manuals: We All Need A Finish Line
Whether it be to ride a certain distance, climb that tricky hill or achieve a certain race result, goal setting is a powerful motivational tool for many cyclists. Here's how to set your goal and, more importantly, achieve it.
Words: Ed Pollicott
Illustrations: Laura Quick
Whether it be professional, academic or otherwise, setting yourself a goal can be a great way to inspire motivation and, ultimately, get to where you want to go. This can certainly be said of cycling, and staff at Rapha maintain an annual tradition of setting riding goals at the beginning of each year. Whether a complete beginner or a race winner, it helps us get the most out of our riding, and creates a culture of supporting and encouraging one another too.
It seems we're not the only ones to find goal setting useful. Health and exercise apps such as Strava have boomed for their ability to log exercise, track progress and, increasingly, guide users towards a set goal. They've become somewhat of an obsession for some; 'if it's not on Strava, it didn't happen" has become a moniker of the modern cyclist.
Whether you choose to deep dive into the data or not, goal setting is undoubtedly effective, as sports psychologist Josie Perry explains. "Having a goal gives you something to shoot for and gets you out on your bike more. Once you're back from your ride, the feeling of ticking a goal off is really satisfying and provides motivation for your next ride," she says. "The classic goals for cyclists are often related to distance or speed but it could be anything, really. Riding to a particular location, taking a nice picture for Instagram, or getting up that tricky little hill without walking.
Whatever your objective, the key is to strike the balance between gaining motivation from having a goal and allowing it to become an all-consuming quest and a rod for your own back."
Former Head of Social Media at Rapha, Kitty Pemberton-Platt, went from total novice to badass racer (not her words, she's very humble) in just a couple of years and puts much of her success on the bike down to setting goals. Here, she talks us through how to set your own and shares a few pieces of sage advice for the journey to achieving them.
Everyone's different
The first thing to say is that everyone has different goals so yours are bound to be different from mine, not everyone wants to race and that's fine. Previous goals that I set myself include riding with clipless pedals and joining my first group ride.
Write it down
Once you have something in mind, write it down. Committing your objective to paper fixes it in your mind and gives you something to refer back to. I used to write out my goals in my racing journal. One page is decorated with countless drawings of a 'podium envelope' (the prize envelope you are given if you place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in a race). I drew it everyday as a tangible reminder of what I was aiming for and ended up keeping the first envelope I won.
Don't compare your goals with anyone else's. If you're just starting in cycling, it's best to focus on your own riding. Even as you become more experienced and set yourself more ambitious goals, you'll come to realise that there will always be someone riding a little bit faster or further than you. Don't drive yourself mad trying to match them, just do your own thing.
By definition, setting a goal means you're mentally and physically going somewhere new. It should push you out of your comfort zone so it might be uncomfortable or a little scary at times. But believe in yourself, keep referring back to your goal and you'll get there. I set myself the goal of riding my first 100km ride four years ago with the Rapha #Womens100 but there were many rides where I struggled leading up to it. Those moments shouldn't be a stop sign. It's a reminder you're going in the right direction. Enjoy that process.
Looking to test yourself on the bike? Join one of the challenges that Rapha sets each year. From the Festive500 to the Women's 100 and beyond, we're sure you'll find something to get you out of your comfort zone.

Tonight there was a beautiful sky at sunset. I love this time of day when the sun is low and gives everything a warm glow.
I particularly liked how the light was shinning on the front of this church and the way the palm trees shadows were caught by the sun.
I did not even notice the little piece of rainbow right in the middle, behind the church.


You probably have known – or at least understood – what Forex is. However, there are some unfamiliar or even weird terms you hear about the transaction. If you ever wonder "What are pips in Forex? What do they represent?" maybe now is the right time to get deeper into the subject. After all, it doesn't hurt to learn more about this business activity.
Have you ever heard the so called pips, pipettes, or lots said during the talk about Forex? What is a pip, anyway? When there is a value change between two different currencies and the change is measured in unit, it is called as a pip. For instance, when there is a change in between Euro and US dollar, then it is a pip. When EUR and USD changes from 1.2250 to 1.2251, that increasing difference of .0001is called as one pip. So, basically, a pip refers to the last decimal placement from a quotation. In Forex, most currency pairs are using the 4 decimal placement, but there are some currencies that are using 2 decimal placement, like the Japanese Yen.
It is not uncommon for some brokers to use unique decimal placement, instead of the standard 4 and 2 decimal placement – they use the 5 and 3. It is called as Fractional Pips, also often called as pipettes. For example, in GBP and USD pair, the changes from 1.51542 to 1.51543 means that the increasing .00001 USD is one pipette higher.
Keep in mind that each currency is worthy as it has value. The differences in individual currency can determine the price of the pip too. I am going to use 4 decimal placement quote as an example. Keep in mind that the rates will be written as a ratio in the calculation. For instance, EUR and USD pair at 1.2500 should be written off as 1EUR/1.2500 USD.
So, if you trade 10,000 units in USD/CAD pair, one pip change to that particular exchange rate will be around (10,000 units x 0.0000984 USD/unit) = 0.98 USD. When the exchange rate changes, the value pip will also change.
So, what does a pip have anything to do with the spreads, anyway? You see, when you trade in Forex, there are always two currencies involved. There are always two prices being included within the currency pair quote. The first price is the bidding price (how much is offered for the pair) while the second price is the asking price (how much sellers are willing to spend). Spreads are the difference between the two prices, and it is generally expressed in pips.
Buying orders are usually done at the higher ask price while selling orders are usually done at lower bidding price. When you (as a trader) make a buy and then sell it off right away, there is a certain amount of spreads being lost. This is why most Forex traders are usually looking for low spreads.
All of these may seem complicated and confusing at first. This is one of the main reasons why you should practice with the demo account, so you can get better grasp and understanding of the whole deal and process.


Released on October 24, 1995 Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was the third studio album released by Alternative Rock innovators The Smashing Pumpkins. The album Has the distinction of being the only one by the band to debut at number 1 on the Billboard charts with first week sales coming in at just over a 240,000 albums sold. It is often hailed as one the best albums of a generation and one of the most innovative records of the '90s. Coming in at a hefty twenty-eight songs and two discs, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness does feature several The Smashing Pumpkins classic singles that remain an integral part of modern culture, even to this day. Although The Smashing Pumpkins have undergone some lineup changes over the years, at the time Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was released, the band consisted of Billy Corgan (vocals/guitar), James Iha (rhythm guitar), D'arcy Wretzky (bass), and Jimmy Chamberlin (drums).
As the second track on the album, "Tonight, Tonight" is a beautifully opulent orchestration of sound that changes the pace for The Smashing Pumpkins and puts more of an emphasis on good composition. Its smooth transitions and easy melodies make it a great choice for those looking for something a little soul-stirring and a little smooth without sacrificing style. "Zero" is the third single released from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but it was actually the first song recorded for the album. Its dynamic guitar riffs and chord-play is both intoxicating and intricate with a bounciness that is infectious. This song is often hailed as one the main tracks that has led people to The Smashing Pumpkins with it making the occasional appearance, even in part, on television and movie soundtracks. There is something quintessentially '90s about the song and its multi-rhythm presence.
"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" is another The Smashing Pumpkins essential song that has attracted many to their fandom. It is deliciously angsty and the rolling drums and steady guitar riffage makes it especially palatable for newcomers to The Smashing Pumpkin patch. That was one thing that Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was incredibly good for: offering a buffet of sound and appealing to more than just the masses. Although at times incredibly long and belabored, with songs feeling as though they were created merely for creation sake, the album has a great underlying soul. The album sees the presence of more musical input by other members of the band besides Corgan, specifically, then bassist, D'arcy Wretzky and Guitarist James Iha.
One thing The Smashing Pumpkins succeeded in with Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was the diversification of their sound and the incorporation of new musical extremes. On "Zero" there are six rhythm guitars used among other techniques to change up the sound. Throughout the album, the variations on sound effects and synth elements can be heard and felt from track to track, offering a new angle on the once consistently predictable The Smashing Pumpkins. This change in dynamics led The Smashing Pumpkins to be better received by a wider audience and showed other artists at the time that sometimes a double album can not only serve a purpose, but open up a genre. Songs like "Muzzle," "Thirty-Three," and "1979" are great examples of the difference that can be heard between tracks on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and the different tastes brought to the plate on the unexpected and intriguing album.
So, while there are moments where it feels beleaguered and grandiose merely for the purpose of being excessive and the track count exorbitant, it is the purpose of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to make the listener enjoy the journey. It is meant to be experienced- something to come back to time and again for old time's sake. This was the album that helped define The Smashing Pumpkins, and it houses some of their most notable works. So, take a trip back down the rabbit hole and revisit Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to see what you pick up on this time around.

Thomas rallies Notre Dame to 6th in row
Chris Thomas had 21 of his 26 points in the second half to lead Notre Dame to its sixth straight win, a 82-78 victory over Villanova on Saturday at Philadelphia.
Thomas banked in a 3-pointer with 2:12 to play that tied the game at 74. After Chris Quinn hit a pair of free throws to give the Irish the lead and the Wildcats' Mike Nardi missed a wide-open 3, Torin Francis grabbed a loose ball and dunked it to end a 9-0 run that extended the lead to four.
Villanova missed 6 of 10 free-throw attempts in the final minute and could not capitalize on Thomas' fouling out with 19 seconds remaining to lose their third in a row after winning five straight.
The Irish (8-3, 2-0 Big East), playing on the road for the first time since Dec. 14, got 13 points from Quinn, 12 from Colin Falls, 11 from Francis and 10 points and 11 rebounds from Jones to defeat Villanova for the first time since joining the Big East in 1995.
The Wildcats (9-4, 0-1) put four starters in double figures. Randy Foye and Allan Ray had 18 points each, Nardi added 15 and Curtis Sumpter had 14 points, while Jason Fraser led the Wildcats with a career-high 17 rebounds.
West Virginia 62, Georgetown 58: At Morgantown, W.Va., Johannes Herber scored 15 points and West Virginia nearly let a 13-point lead evaporate down the stretch before holding on to beat Georgetown.
Tyrone Sally added 10 points and 11 rebounds for West Virginia (8-4, 1-1 Big East), which was without leading scorer Drew Schifino. He was suspended indefinitely Friday for a violation of team rules.
Herber, averaging 6.8 points, picked up the slack, scoring the first nine points of the second half and constantly disrupting a sluggish Georgetown offense.
West Virginia matched its largest lead at 47-34 with five minutes left but didn't score a field goal the rest of the game. Georgetown (10-2, 1-2) scored 10 straight points in a minute to pull within 49-46 with 2:22 left.
But the Mountaineers took advantage of Georgetown's foul trouble, hitting 16 of 24 free throws for the game to snap an eight-game losing streak to the Hoyas.
Brandon Bowman and Ashanti Cook scored 16 points apiece for Georgetown. Gerald Riley added 14.
Seton Hall 71, St. John's 54: At New York, Andre Barrett was 4-for-6 from 3-point range and scored 21 points to lead Seton Hall over St. John's at Madison Square Garden, the Pirates' eighth straight win.
Kelly Whitney had 15 points for the Pirates (11-2, 1-0 Big East), while J.R. Morris added 11 and Marcus Toney-El 10.
Freshman Lamont Hamilton had 14 points for the Red Storm (4-8, 0-2), while Elijah Ingram added 11 and Kyle Cuffe 10.
St. John's dropped to 2-4 under interim coach Kevin Clark.

Government delegate worried about increased number of immigrant boats
The illegal immigrants have been taken before the courts in Manacor.
Maria Salom, the national government's delegate, has expressed her concern at the increase in the number of boats carrying illegal immigrants to Majorca. At a Mediterranean police conference organised by the Guardia Civil, Salom referred to the three boats which had arrived on Monday. The number of people apprehended by the Guardia Civil and handed over to the National Police has now risen to 28. The three boats in question landed at Ses Covetes, Cap de Ses Salines and Caló de sa Barca Trencada in Santanyi.
Salom observed that the Balearics are not unused to attempts by immigrants to illegally enter in this fashion. To fight this immigration and organised gangs which are behind it, there is the system of exterior surveillance for the coasts and borders. This system has been used to detect various boats that have arrived in Majorca and in Formentera.
The Guardia Civil has assigned a helicopter and boats and vehicles to the Balearic unit for borders and has also created special posts in Formentera and Santanyi. "With all this effort and international cooperation to control this migratory flow, we must be able to put a stop to this situation. We should also not forget the individuals. People are crossing the Mediterranean in inhuman and very dangerous conditions."
The conference is being attended by Guardia Civil chiefs for operations command, for coasts and borders and for the Balearics as well as by representatives from various European and African countries and from Europol, Interpol and Frontex.
In 2013, the Guardia Civil set up the Seahorse Mediterranean project. It established a satellite communications network for connecting African and European countries. The project, noted Salom, is to improve the capabilities of border control and immigration agencies, prevent loss of life at sea and ensure the respect for human rights of illegal immigrants and the right to asylum.

Q: How to create foreign key for 2 tables? Let's say I sell books and CDs, so I have table in database for both of them, because I can't use same table for both. Also I have a stock table for both of them, which refers through foreign key to according item's table. Like this:
book                book_stock
-----               ----------
bookID              book_stockID
title               bookID
                    price

cd                  cd_stock
-----               ----------
cdID                cd_stockID
title               cdID
                    price

But I'd like to have one general stock table, which referes to both item's tables depending on type column.
book                stock
-----               ----------
bookID              stockID
title               type
                    itemID
                    price
cd
-----
cdID
title

So, how to make such constraint which checks more than one table?

A: You can't create such constraint, unfortunately, as the foreighn key is always based on one parent table.
What you can do is to create the trigger which will test your input data according it's type, and rollback unupropriate changes:

*

*CREATE TRIGGER Syntax

*Trigger Syntax and Examples
Something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER insert_stock_child
BEFORE INSERT
ON stock
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
  IF new.type = 'BOOK_TYPE' AND (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM book
    WHERE book.bookID = new.itemID)= 0
  THEN
    INSERT error_msg VALUES ('No such book!');
  END IF;
END;

-- same logic for the cd table

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Zully Broussard thought she was going to help one person by donating a kidney.
Instead, she helped six.
The Sacramento woman's donation to a Benicia man set off an organ swap that resulted in five more sick people getting new kidneys at a San Francisco hospital. Three transplants were planned for Thursday, and the remaining three Friday.
"I thought I was going to help this one person who I don't know, but the fact that so many people can have a life extension, that's pretty big," Broussard said.
Domino-like kidney swaps are still relatively new but are becoming increasingly common.
With a total of a dozen patients and donors, this week's surgeries at the California Pacific Medical Center represent the largest kidney donation chain in its transplant center's 44-year history, hospital spokesman Dean Fryer said. The patients at are between 24 to 70 years old, and most are from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Transplant chains are an option when donors are incompatible with relatives or friends who need kidneys.
In this case, six donors are instead giving kidneys to strangers found through a software matching program developed by 59-year-old David Jacobs, a kidney recipient whose brother died of kidney failure. Its algorithmic program finds potential matches using a person's genetic profile.
Jacobs, of San Francisco, said he understands first-hand the despair of waiting for a deceased donor.
"Some of these people might have waited forever and never got the kidney," he said. "But because of the magic of this technology and the one altruistic donor, she was able to save six lives in 24 hours."
Fewer than 17,000 kidney transplants are performed in the U.S. each year, and between 5,000 and 6,000 are from living donors, considered the optimal kind.
Kidney swaps are considered one of the best bets at increasing live-donor transplants, and they are becoming more common as transplant centers form alliances to share willing patient-donor pairs. The United Network for Organ Sharing has a national pilot program underway.
In 2001, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, performed a transplant chain that started as a two-way kidney exchange and grew to 30 pairs.
Jacobs' kidneys failed in early 2000 from a genetic disease. In late 2003, a living unrelated donor provided an organ for a transplant.
A new chance at life got him thinking.
"I talked to my doctor about kidney-paired donation. He was excited about the idea but didn't know how to do it," he recalled. "I was a tech person. I've been in technology my whole professional career. I thought of it as an enterprise software problem I could solve."
He said the two months he imagined it would take to take to develop the software stretched into six years.
The National Kidney Foundation reports more than 100,000 people in the United States are awaiting kidneys, and 12 people die a day while waiting.
Broussard said her son died of cancer 13 years ago and her husband passed away 14 months ago, also from cancer.
Asked why she volunteered to donate a kidney to a stranger, the 55-year-old said: "I know what it feels like to want an extra day."
