Секст Юлий Фронтин (; прибл. 30 103) — древнеримский политический деятель, полководец и писатель.

Биография
О рождении и ранних годах Фронтина мало что известно. Родился приблизительно в 30 год, предположительно в Нарбоне (совр. Нарбонн) в семье провинциального аристократа. Его молодость и зрелость пришлись на весьма бурный период в истории Рима — достаточно сказать, что он застал террор Калигулы, правление Нерона и последовавшую за ним гражданскую войну.

В 58—64 годах римская армия под командованием Гнея Домиция Корбулона вела боевые действия в Армении. Фронтин служил там в качестве командира одного из кавалерийских отрядов. Впоследствии он включил живые примеры этой войны в своё сочинение «Стратегемы».

Во время правления Гальбы получил звание сенатора, в 70 году, при Веспасиане занял должность городского претора Рима. В 73 году стал консулом, в 74 году направлен в качестве легата (наместника) в провинцию Британия. На посту легата добился немалых успехов, в частности разгромил силуров. В 78 году был сменён на посту наместника Агриколой. В 86—87 годах Фронтин назначен проконсулом Малой Азии. Благодаря его стараниям, в городе Иераполе была построена система водоснабжения и канализации, а благодарные жители назвали северный въезд в город воротами Фронтина.

В 97 году новый император Нерва назначил Фронтина смотрителем городского водопровода Рима. Это была совершенно незнакомая область для Фронтина, однако он не только глубоко вник в свои новые обязанности, но и написал об этом книгу.

В 100 году был ординарным консулом вместе с Траяном. В последние годы жизни стал жрецом-авгуром, умер в 103 году.

Наследие
В течение жизни Фронтином было написано несколько книг, из которых до нас дошли только две — «О римских водопроводах» () и «Стратегемы» или «Военные хитрости» ().

Став смотрителем римских водопроводов, Фронтин решил, что должен не только поддерживать функционирование системы, но и упорядочить всю информацию о ней, в том числе и историю возникновения, для того, чтобы облегчить работу своим преемникам.

Труд Фронтина «Стратегемы» представляет собой упорядоченный сборник тактических и психологических приёмов, использованных в конкретных случаях древними и современными автору правителями и военачальниками. Причём эти приёмы не были обдуманы заранее в ходе стратегического планирования, а были применены из-за внезапно возникших неблагоприятных обстоятельств, с целью избежать их или даже обернуть себе на пользу.

Время написания «Военных хитростей» можно датировать эпохой Домициана, а если точнее – между 84-88 гг. Раньше указанной даты они просто не могли быть написаны, так как в 83/84 гг. происходит покорение хаттов Домицианом, о котором упоминает Фронтин. Ни одно из событий с 88 г. не было включено Фронтоном в «Стратегемы».

Переводы
Сочинение Фронтина «О случаях военных» на русский впервые перевёл Карион Истомин (с польского перевода 1609 года, сделанного Я. Цилецием) и в 1693 году поднёс Петру I, произнеся речь о его пользе для полководца.

Ljusets fiender är en dikt av Johan Henric Kellgren, först utgiven i Stockholms Posten den 21 december 1792.

I dikten argumenterar Kellgren för ett fasthållande av upplysningsidéerna, trots att "ell'n är lös på Söder", det vill säga att människor i och med franska revolutionen börjat missbruka dessa. Han slöt sig i filosofiskt avseende till Voltaire och den franska konstuppfattningen.

WIPO has released the English version of "Scoping Study on Copyright and Related Rights and the Public Domain". Other language versions will be made available in due course.
Commissioned under the WIPO Development Agenda, and authored by Prof. Séverine Dusollier, University of Namur, the study assesses the role, history, and justification of the public domain in copyright, identifies its main components and the obstacles that might interfere with the access and use of the copyright-related public domain.


You know when you really, really want something and then you get it… and then it's even better than you'd hoped? That sums up my experience at my very first book signing. People actually lined up… to get me to sign my book for them! Asked me to make it out to themselves/their daughter/their class/their library. Told me they'd heard of it and were excited to read it. Told me their stories and about the kids they serve.
So here's my photo album of the weekend, including the shot from the beautiful hotel where my publisher put me up and a bit of Philly color. There are more pix of a cocktail party and a private dinner that happened at night, but I still don't have those, so I'll post when they get sent to me.

Why We Cannot Trust Planned Parenthood's Decision to Disavow Margaret Sanger
Kateri Remmes
On July 21st, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York announced its decision to rename their Manhattan facility to eliminate the name of their founder, Margaret Sanger. This decision was aimed to distance themselves from Sanger's racist eugenicist ideologies. While it is great that Planned Parenthood has finally publicly admitted to the ideologies of their founder, there are legitimate questions we should ask before accepting their rejection of Sanger's name. What will Planned Parenthood do to distance themselves from the legacy of Sanger beyond merely changing their name? Is Planned Parenthood genuine in disavowing their eugenicist founder? A simple name change will not necessarily change their facilities' work and mission. If Planned Parenthood of Greater New York genuinely wants to distance themselves from the ideologies of their founder, Margaret Sanger, they are going to have to change a lot more than just their name.
Planned Parenthood of the Greater New York's sudden decision to rename their Manhattan facility has come at a time in which cancel culture has taken a precedence in the United States. Planned Parenthood is an organization primarily favored by liberal leaning people who often times contribute to today's cancel culture by supporting the tearing down statues and renaming schools dedicated to anyone who is remotely tied to racism or slavery. Due to the cancel culture, it was strategically prudent for Planned Parenthood to "cancel" their founder in order to help maintain their support system. Sanger's racist eugenic ideologies have been challenged on multiple occasions, making her reputation a target for negative publicity. Therefore, it makes sense why Planned Parenthood of Greater New York publicly denounced Sanger and changed their name for the sake of their facility. However, by adhering to the cancel culture, Planned Parenthood of the Greater New York makes their motives suspicious. Did they change their name because they genuinely want to reckon with the ideologies of their founder, or did they change their name to remain popular with their supporters?
In addition to strategic timing, Planned Parenthood's decision to disavow Margaret Sanger is suspicious due to their history of defending Sanger from racist and eugenicist allegations. In 2016, Planned Parenthood released a document detailing "opposition claims about Margaret Sanger." In this document, Planned Parenthood evaluated several claims against Margaret Sanger and refuted them by saying that the allegations were false or taken out of context. Within the document, they admitted that Margaret Sanger spoke to a Klu Klux Klan group saying, "it is true that Margaret Sanger made a speech on birth control to a women's auxiliary branch of the Klu Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey, in 1926. Sanger's passion led her to speak to any group interested in learning how to plan their reproduction. Planned Parenthood strongly disagrees with Sanger's decision to address an organization that spreads hatred." This statement is the only statement that acknowledges a genuinely racist act by Sanger, otherwise Planned Parenthood lauds Sanger as a faultless champion for women's rights. However, in their statement about discarding Sanger's name from the Manhattan facility, Karen Seltzer, a board member of Planned Parenthood of the Greater New York said, "Margaret Sanger's concerns and advocacy for reproductive health have been clearly documented, but so too has her racist legacy. There is overwhelming evidence for Sanger's deep belief in eugenic ideology, which runs completely counter to our values at PPGNY." This statement clearly opposes Planned Parenthood's 2016 document which defended her from being accused of racist and eugenic ideologies. So, what made the Manhattan Planned Parenthood change its mind and cause them to denounce their founder as a racist eugenicist after lauding her only four years earlier?
Along with their recent defense of Sanger, Planned Parenthood as an entire organization, has not denounced Sanger. In fact, they still laud her by offering the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award and deem it as their "highest honor." I do not understand how Planned Parenthood of the Greater New York is planning on reckoning with their racist legacy without the support of the organization as a whole.
In fact, according to Planned Parenthood of Greater New York's press release, their goals to reckon with the legacy of Sanger are incredibly vague and do not include tangible routes of implementation.
How do they plan to reckon with their legacy? They cannot bring back the lives of the unborn who were aborted within their facilities. Currently, in New York, more black babies are aborted than born. According to an article published by the Wall Street Journal, in New York City, "Thousands more black babies are aborted than born alive each year." In fact, 136,426 black babies are aborted in New York and 118,127 black babies are born in New York. Further, according to a 2010 US Census report, 79 percent of Planned Parenthoods are located in minority neighborhoods. This aids in causing a great disparity within races in the United States. What is Planned Parenthood doing to reckon with the current "reproductive harm within communities of color?" This is not a "historical" issue Planned Parenthood needs to reckon with, it is a current issue. In order to distance themselves from Sanger's ideologies, they will need dismantle their organization so that it does not strategically target minority groups. This action, although it would be good, would severely harm their revenue. Especially if the majority of Planned Parenthood locations reside in minority neighborhoods. Unfortunately, I think it is highly unlikely they will implement change to that degree. Further, they will never be able to consistently value minority communities if they do not value the lives of minority people at all stages of life, so their five steps to make up for their racist founder will be inevitably unsuccessful. This will especially be the case if they do not have the support of their entire organization.
While it may seem as though Planned Parenthood is taking a step to fix their racist legacy, it is important that we hold them to task. Before we believe their efforts are genuine, we must see a tangible change in their mission.

The Grandmaster (2013) →
Review: Smuggler (2011)
Posted on January 30, 2013 by Justin
Directed by: Katsuhito ISHII
Cast: ANDO Masanobu, Hikari Mitsushima, Masatoshi Nagase, Ryushin Tei, Satoshi TSUMABUKI, Seiji Kawashima, Tatsuya Gasyuin, Yasuko Matsuyuki
Distributed in Australia by: Eastern Eye
Failed — or at least distracted — actor Kinuta (Satoshi Tsumabuki) spends his days dismally holed up in front of a slot machine, a poster child for what we in Australia would call pokies addiction. Quiet and vulnerable, he is manipulated into taking a job he can't turn down and joins a team of smugglers for the Yakuza: moving a truck full of things that need to pass unnoticed, often things that are suspiciously man-shaped.
Kinuta's comparatively prosaic road movie story intersects with the rather more brightly coloured, slow-mo-infused tale of two Chinese assassins, also working for the Yakuza. I have to give credit to the subtitling team that handled the English transation here: though the IMDB entry lists these two fellows as Spine and Naizô (offal), Madman has chosen to render them more poetically as Vertebrae and Viscera, names which trip off the tongue beautifully. Vertebrae (Ando Masanobu, Big Bang Love, Juvenile A and Battle Royale) and Viscera (Ryushin Tei) are supernaturally gifted at their craft in a larger-than-life, comic-book fashion, betraying the story's manga origins.
Filling out the cast are the hard-bitten driver of the smuggling operation, Joe (Masatoshi Nagase), his diminutive sidekick Jijii (Tatsuya Gasyuin), cosplaying mercenary banker and fixer, Yuki Yamaoka (Yasuko Matsuyuki) and a host of Yakuza thugs, chief amongst whom is the eyebrow-wagglingly unhinged Kawashima (Masahiro Takashima).
I can't say much more about the plot without giving away spoilers, but it would be remiss of me not to mention the movie's violence. Sandwiched into the thriller about the down-and-out actor who turns courier for the mob and the anime-esque exploits of Vertabrae and Viscera as they cut a swathe through rival Yakuza is a long and (for me, at least) thoroughly overdone torture sequence. Here, one of the characters is strapped down and hurt for about twenty minutes, on what feels like the thinnest of pretexts. I found it gratuitous and unnecessary, an excuse for some serious gore and (very) gallows humour that just left me uncomfortable without much of a story-driven rationale to back it up.
Smuggler shows its influences plainly, particularly Takashi Miike's 2001 cult favourite Ichi the Killer, which is actually gorier still… but somehow more watchable, thanks to the sustained, challenging strangeness of the film. Ando Masanobu's performance here is very reminiscent of Tadanobu Asano's Kakihara in Ichi, but with the benefit of a decade's advances in special effects, and he's probably the most watchable character of the bunch. Joe, the grizzled veteran smuggler, is also well-played but under-developed (owing, perhaps, to the screen time devoted to ripping out fingernails.) Kinuta, our lead, is very much the straight man in all this, the quiet, eager-to-please youngster surrounded by so many cartoonish characters. It's almost as if he's written as a warning to hesitant slacker youth everywhere: take control of your life, or things might spiral out of control disastrously.
At the end of the day, I think Smuggler is one for the intersection between fans of the manga and those with strong stomachs.
4 spine tattoos out of 10.


Okay, I'm gonna stop there because this list is getting out of control. I don't even know whether I'll have enough time to do other things this year. Welp!
What about you? Is there any 2018 released that you want to watch?
That's a whole lot of movies! I missed most of these too. I'd definitely like to see a few of these. The Hate U Give is the main one I need to watch.

FLUSHING, N.Y. – Alan Landes, a member of the Queens College Hall of Fame and longtime men's tennis coach, has passed after a courageous battle against Glioblastoma, a very aggressive form of brain cancer.
"Alan's passing is devastating," expressed Queens College Assistant Vice President/Athletics Director China Jude. "I hope that his family is at peace knowing that inducting him into the 2017 Athletics Hall of Fame was our way of celebrating the long lasting and positive impact that he made with his students and student-athletes. This was a deserving recognition for a wonderful husband, father, coach, and man. He will be missed by all."
Landes coached the Knights to 342 victories during his time at Queens. While at the helm, the Knights earned six NCAA tournament bids and reached the round of 32 in both 2005 and 2006. He led the program to six conference titles before Queens joined the N.Y.C.A.C. in 1993. That year, Queens captured the conference's inaugural men's tennis crown, while Landes garnered N.Y.C.A.C. Coach of the Year honors. He later won Eastern Tennis Association Coach of the Year in 2003 and was named Intercollegiate Tennis Association East Region Coach of the Year in 2004.
After stepping down as tennis coach in 2007, Landes became the director of the Queens College Indoor Tennis Center, as well as the athletics academic advisor. He continued in these positions until his health limited his work schedule in 2011.

Girls lacrosse: season recap
A season full of growth and positivity, this year the girls on the lacrosse team felt they grew closer to each other and to the game. "My favorite part of lacrosse is definitely all the best friends I have made from playing, and the love for the game. I will miss my teammates and the long bus rides we had together," senior Mahogani West said.

After a tough season with seven wins and ten losses, the NC girls Varsity lacrosse team reflects on the year behind them and focuses on improving for next season. Compared to last season, the team showed improvement by winning four more games. Sadly, nine seniors will retire from high school lacrosse to move forward academically and athletically.
Sophomore Kacy Handzel, and seniors Catherine Mockalis and Addison Holmes all finished the season as high scorers with Senior Mahogani West taking the top spot. Handzel ended with the most points taking into account goals, assists, and draw controls. Seniors Briela Garner and Brittany Aguilar led the strong defensive end of the field this season. With nine girls leaving the team, coaches expect the underclassmen to step up and fill the shoes of seniors for next year's season.
"This year, we played a new group of schools [7A- 6A] in our area. Now, we have a better plan going into next year about who to focus on to make next year's playoffs," NC Varsity girls lacrosse coach Cathy Ezzell said.
The team's best game resulted in a win against McEachern with a final score of 17-3. With their smooth transitions down the field and communication throughout the game, the Varsity girls easily dominated the Indians. On the other hand, the girls suffered a tough loss against Carrolton with a score of 9-13. This loss felt difficult since the game occurred right after a lack of practice during spring break.
The whole team characterizes this season as one in which bonds were created. Coaches focused on teamwork, unlike last season, and this resulted in close friendships between the girls. Win or lose, the team truly enjoyed playing every game together.
"This season was my favorite out of four years of playing lacrosse. There was so much love and positivity this season. I never left a game or practice without a smile on my face. My teammates made my four years feel like one and made everyday good days," senior Mahogani West said.

PoC: Protection, displacement and return to Somalia – Whose responsibility, whose rights?
Written by Cindy Horst (PRIO)
How do people find protection in a world that increasingly attempts to govern their movements – in particular those that cross international borders? This larger question inspired me to compare measures and understandings of protection for Somali refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs). While I had not conducted research on the situation of Somali IDPs before, I have published extensively on the situation of Somalis in regional refugee camps – for example in the monograph Transnational Nomads and latest blog Finding protection from violent conflict and famine?
The current interest of a number of states in commencing the return of refugees to Somalia, as well as to relocate and return IDPs in urban areas in Mogadishu and Hargeisa, directly affects the protection of the individuals involved. The, arguably premature, focus on stabilization seems to be guided by a wish to claim success of international reconciliation efforts and a justification for returning large numbers of refugees and asylumseekers from places like Kenya and Sweden. Yet such pressure to return greatly runs the risk of destabilizing processes in Somalia while offering no guarantee that those being returned will find any kind of protection. Though it is unlikely that a country like Kenya is going to follow through statements that it will 'relocate' half a million refugees from Dadaab to IDP camps in 'liberated' areas, there is a much greater risk that funding for assistance in Dadaab will increasingly dry up, encouraging a 'voluntary' return from the camps. A number of these issues are also analyzed in a recent report entitled Hasty Repatriation.
As my recent fieldwork in Nairobi brought to light, attempts to govern mobility do not just take place through border control and immigration measures, but also through humanitarian policies and practices. The importance of such policies and practices is particularly visible in Somalia's current 'transitional phase', characterized by an increased focus on return and a shift from an emergency approach to stabilization programming. This shift is accompanied by talks of relocating funding from Kenya, Somaliland and Puntland to South/Central Somalia, where insecurity is still rampant and the newly established government faces considerable challenges. PRIO's collaborative partner, the Heritage Institute for Policy Studies (HIPS), is conducting data collection in Mogadishu and Hargeisa to explore the implications in Somalia.
As humanitarian policies and practices affect protection and displacement, before flight as much as after, it is crucial to underscore that mobility remains one of the most efficient ways in which those affected by violent conflict can protect themselves. Consider Mohamed Shukri's story. When I spoke with him in Nairobi, early 2009, he told me he was pressured by his family and friends to leave Mogadishu for many months, but stayed on until July 2008 when two of his close friends and colleagues were assassinated. He realized it was no longer safe for him either. Just like his friends, he had been very outspoken on human rights abuses by all parties involved in the conflict, and was likely to be targeted. He was able to leave Somalia and lived in Nairobi for a while – until he deemed it safe for him to return to Mogadishu.
Not only individuals like Mohamed, who because of their activities or individual characteristics are persecuted in their own country, protect themselves through fleeing. Civilians who get caught up in violent conflict and suffer its effects do the same. As Mohamed's story shows, this is not necessarily a decision easily taken. Fleeing involves new security risks, while it forces people to leave behind what is dear to them. It also entails moving towards an uncertain future in exile without many of the resources to cope with that uncertainty. While in exile, return decisions are constantly considered and weighed against the security situation for the individual or family concerned, and other relevant factors.
Mohamed's story highlights none of the practical difficulties of leaving a conflict zone, as he had the necessary contacts and money – now occupying a senior position in Somalia's newly established government. Yet many who decide to move from an area or country in conflict face considerable obstacles, leading researchers to conclude that refugees are often stuck in situations of 'involuntary immobility'. Warring factions restrict people's mobility for strategic reasons, as al-Shabab has been doing in the areas it controlled. Governments in the region and beyond attempt to govern migration, concerned with large-scale movements from conflict areas and fearing various spill-over effects. As such, the question of how people find protection in a world where states play a role in governing mobility – through border control and immigration measures as well as through their humanitarian policies and practices – remains highly relevant. And the current situation in Somalia clearly highlights, this question needs to be addressed not just before and during flight, but also during displacement and upon return.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella might see HoloLens as a five-year vision, but he's not alone when it comes to the "vision" part. Volvo, maker of cars with a reputation for being boxy but safe, is right there with them in seeing how the HoloLens augmented reality system can make buying a car a more interactive and innovative process.
Imagine walking into a showroom and rather than being limited to just the models in stock, you could visualize any model in any configuration and color. Then, with just some magic gestures, tear the car apart and see its inside stuff. Flip it around, highlight features, plug in different colors and options–with HoloLens, paging through complicated brochures becomes a thing of the past.
Really, it's all pretty cool, and it's a great example of how HoloLens can make a onetime boring and static process far more interactive and dynamic. There are just things you can do with HoloLens in this and many other contexts that you just can't do with other technologies. And compared to virtual reality, you're not isolated when you access this information–it's laid out over your existing environment in a way that keeps you engaged with the salesperson–or doctor, or engineer, or scientist–who's guiding you through an experience.
Yes, that's a guy wearing a HoloLens on an assembly line. Don't try this with a VR device!
"With HoloLens we have the freedom to create a bespoke experience which customers can steer themselves. Imagine using mixed reality to choose the type of car you want – to explore the colors, rims, or get a better understanding of the features, services and options available," said Björn Annwall, Senior Vice President, Marketing Sales and Service at Volvo Cars.
Of course, Volvo isn't alone in visualizing HoloLens as a powerful tool. NASA JPL (the rocket scientists), Trimble, Case Western Research University alongside the Cleveland Clinic are just a handful of other organizations that are also investigating HoloLens. And of course, HoloLens is just another Windows 10 device, and so Microsoft's new platform is thus extended into some pretty exciting new directions.
If you want to explore how HoloLens can make your life or business more exciting, productive, and innovative, you can sign up for the HoloLens Development Edition. Lay down a cool $3,000, and you'll get yours starting sometime in Q1 of 2016. What are you waiting for?
Will you be putting down $3,000 for a HoloLens Development Edition?

He moved to Winnipeg from Jamaica 40 years ago.
Smyth's recommendation by the Winnipeg Police Board will be accepted on November 4, with a swearing-in ceremony planned for November 8.
Danny Smyth has more than 30 years' experience with the Winnipeg Police Service, and currently serves as Deputy Chief of Investigative Services.

Escondido's Grand Avenue Festival, aka Escondido Street Faire, that returns Sunday, May 15 might be only the second-largest single-day festival in California, but as they used to say in the old Avis rent-a-car commercials, they try harder.
An estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people will flock to Grand Avenue and block after block of 500 vendors, food and music from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m..
Escondido's first street faire was 1988. This year the festival once again with feeling spans downtown's main street from Centre City Parkway to Ivy Street.
Casey rides the festival circuit with his hats, sports uniforms and what-nots, so he ought to know. Monday it's off to the Farmers Market at Welk Village for his many, and colorful, wares. Then, it's Chino Hills for a church bash and later, a Chula Vista engagement.
Next month, Casey, along with a lot of the other vendors, is off to the Carlsbad Street Faire, the largest single-day Festival in California. Both Carlsbad and Escondido's festivals, along with the likes of the Vista Strawberry Festival and Fallbrook Avocado Festival — 14 North County San Diego festivals in all — are managed ably by Kennedy & Associates Street Faire Consultants.
Chris Winkler and his 10-year-old parakeet, Chloe, with Shera Sandwell, and a copy of the street fair's only newspaper last year.
These days, Brian Roth, Kennedy's son-in-law, heads the operation. He was large and in charge last year with yellow vest and communication devices in tow as he supervised the grand fair at the corner of Grand Avenue and Broadway, ably assisted by Rick Bauer, Escondido site manager.
"We had a great day today although attendance was a bit down due to uncertainty about the weather," Roth said during the fall version of the fair(e).
The Escondido faire — that's correct, all Kennedy events feature the trademark "e" at the end of fair — is considered a great venue, according to Roth because it features lots of room for vendors to get in and out of the street.
Set-up begins before dawn, around 5:30 a.m. The Escondido Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association sponsor the event, as per usual.
"This is a business but it's fun," Roth said, noting how his father-in-law faire founder focused on community and enjoyment rather than mere profits, although the business makes a little money, too, and who can quibble with that given the grand old experience.
Those fun faire words were echoed last fall by vendors along with those many enthusiasts walking the street, block after block, with 500 booths of anything one could imagine this side of the San Diego County Fair.
Devine said he enjoyed people watching while offering some off-the-cuff advice. "Happiness is not getting the newest or latest thing, but enjoying what you already have," he said before demonstrating his well-worn flip phone to punctuate the point.
Greg Dunn, another retiree from nearby Old Town Escondido, strolled along Grand Avenue's double-yellow stripes, reveling in the freedom to walk on the street rather than dodge traffic crossing it. His dog Rocky accompanied him.
Lay-out of the festival land.
Meanwhile, Chris Winkler sauntered by with a group and his pet of a different color, and size, a 10-year-old parakeet named Chloe posing for photo opps just beyond James Stone's many beautiful, handblown glass vases and objects. Stone has a studio and gallery along with partner Carol Rodgers featuring hot glass and mixed media at 1285 Simpson Way in industrial Escondido.
One of Stone's claims to fame is his employment of several people out of local rehab programs, giving "people who don't fit in anyplace else" a chance to get back on their feet while helping bring out the best in glass and artistic, as well as utilitarian objects.
Almost needless to say, an event of this size brings a highly eclectic and diverse group of vendors and folks out to the grand bazaar and road show.
Martha Mendoza and Mario Morales was expected to feature Indian imported clothing under Elena's Fashion banner. Sabrina Reid should be coming over from Camp Run-A-Mutt in San Marcos to let people know about its Halloween Spooktacular at 910 Armorlite Drive this fall. Dave and Aida Matheny will come on down from Fallbrook to cater the street with sausage from Matheny's Wagon Works.
Will you be there? Or be square?

Although it wasn't a sleigh and eight tiny reindeer, the Putnam Fire Department truck that carried Santa Claus into Rotary Park on Friday proved just as merry to the more than 150 residents eager to greet him.
"I think it's cool," Mari Ruggeri, 7, of Putnam, said of Santa's grand entrance.
The town holds the event every year to start the holiday season.
Besides taking wish lists from awe-struck children, Santa turned on the lights for the Rotary Park decorations.
"Christmas is really about the kids in our community," Mayor Robert Viens said.
Temperatures hovered around 40 degrees, as the line of children waiting to meet the jolly old elf spread the length of the park.
"It's a good time standing out in the cold," said resident Heidi Auclair-Golden, who brought her daughter Ava, 1, for her first visit with Santa at the park.
"We love Santa," resident Merry Crabtree said.
But when Crabtree asked her daughter Molly, 2, if she would sit on Santa's lap, Molly shook her head, but finally compromised by agreeing to blow Santa a kiss.

In this Sunny and Shadow mystery from New York Times bestselling author Claire Donally, it's best to let sleeping cats lie… Kittery Harbor, Maine, may not be a hotbed of criminal activity, but Sunny Coolidge and her feline companion, Shadow, have a knack for nosing out trouble. While Shadow copes with a sore paw and an irritating puppy invading his turf, Sunny gets mixed up in a financial dispute between rival vets and ex-spouses Jane and Martin Rigsdale. Sunny agrees to help Jane confront Martin about his moneygrubbing ways, only to find herself caught at the scene of a crime: Martin has been murdered. Though Jane is pegged as the lead suspect in the investigation, Martin, with his greedy ways and his catting around, did not have a shortage of enemies. Did a scorned lover or cheated creditor put Martin down for good?

But after marriage and babies, for a variety of reasons, they decided to stay home, temporarily, to raise their children. Now, ten years later, they are still at home, unsure how they came to inhabit lives so different from the ones they expected—until a new series of events begins to change the landscape of their lives yet again, in ways they couldn't have predicted. Written in Meg Wolitzer's inimitable, glittering style, The Ten-Year Nap is wickedly observant, knowing, provocative, surprising, and always entertaining, as it explores the lives of its women with candor, wit, and generosity.

The Apollo Beach Skate Park is shaped like a three-pointed star with an elevated center. Each of the three points has a structure that allows skaters to turn around and keep a constant flow. Its unique shape and landscape allows for endless lines throughout. Any skater can skate around the entire park or simply skate one element at a time. Plenty of areas to stage and gather are also available. The Apollo Beach Skate Park contains various textures, providing for a real street experience.
Entrance will be free through the summer. All skaters must wear helmets, complete a notarized waiver.
This 23-acre park is home to the Apollo Beach Recreation Center and the Apollo Beach Skate Park. The recreation center offers teen and special interest programming, a weight room, a dog park and the Apollo Beach Skate Park.
The elevated center of the park has a series of street elements including a step up, double set of five stairs, a single five stair set, a dual option handrail/flat bar, a regular handrail, a gapped granite ledge, a very long and mellow ledge that is sided by two different banks, a steeper bank in one end and another very mellow bank on the other. The mellow bank is modeled after a driveway with a long rail that has a low pitch on the opposite end, and a custom quarter pipe that follows the angle of the bank.
Another series of real street elements is located on the northeast corner of the Park and include a brick print gap, a bull nose granite rail, a flat round rail over the bank, a bench replica that is set on an angle down the bank, and a ledge that is connected to a structure on the east side of the Skate Park. Once skaters reach the corner, they will find a U-shaped brick stamped 5 foot quarter pipe with pool coping, and two hips on each end. This structure allows skaters to whip around in any direction.
On the way to the south end of the Park, skaters will face a banked hip/gap on the east, and an escalating bricked stamped china bank that has hips on each end and the top serves as an angled manual pad. As they approach the south side, skaters will find a few basic elements including a 12' long granite bench, a pole jam, a long flat round bar, and at the end, a 6 foot tall bank with a concave ledge that comes out from the middle of the bank. This element leads skaters to come back up to the center staging area, where a small manual pad, a rock gap with a kicker and a steep ledge comes off the bank.
All of these features are located in a park that boasts color, texture and endless hours of street fun. There are also plenty of skating opportunities for the non-street skater!
All skaters must check in at the front desk for entry into the skate park. Unlawful entry into the facility will result in a trespassing citation and suspension from the facility.
All persons entering the skate park MUST have a signed and notarized waiver, no exceptions.Children under the age of 18 years must have a parent or legal guardian sign the waiver. Children 10 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
The skate park is used by inexperienced and experienced skate board riders and in-line skaters. Helmets are required (Florida Statute 316.0085) by all participants at all times while they are on the skating surface. Elbow and knee pads are recommended for all skaters but are mandatory for skaters 12 years of age or younger.
This park is intended for skateboards and in-line skates only.
Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department (HCPRCD) does not assume responsibility for injuries. Use of the facility is at your own risk. Serious injury may occur from colliding with other riders, falling on the concrete surface, and from flying objects. In the event of an emergency or injury, all skaters must discontinue skating until further directed by HCPRCD staff.

Q: Subprocess input shows password I'm using Python subprocess to run a command on a remote server:
p=subprocess.Popen('ssh blah@foo.com "sudo do_something"', shell=True)

When I type the password, it appears on the screen - as opposed to running this from the shell, where the password is hidden.
Is there a way to disable this input echo?

A: You might want to consider using pexpect if you have to type something that should be automated: http://www.noah.org/wiki/Pexpect
This way you can ask your user in advance for the password (using the getpass module), and then let your script "type" the password virtually.
There are a couple of well written examples on the website mentioned above describing how to do what you need.

Q: formatting the date in nvd3.js How can I make the date format in nvd3.js. For example:
data1 = [{
  "values": [{
    "x": 1374561814000,
    "y": 2
  }],
  "key": "x-axis"
}]

1374561814000 what does it mean, how its converted from a date?

A: The date 1374561814000 is currently Unix Time Stamp.
You can define how you want the date to be displayed in your when passed into your chart. Have a read on the d3 guide to Time formatting it will give you a better understanding.
chart.xAxis.tickFormat(function(d) {
    // Will Return the date, as "%m/%d/%Y"(08/06/13)
    return d3.time.format('%x')(new Date(d))
});

Or you may want to return the date stamp showing the date/month/year, for that you could simply do:
return d3.time.format('%d/%m/%y')(new Date(d))

Lets say you want the unix time stamp to return the date as Time in miniutes and hours hours it would simply be :
return d3.time.format('%X')(new Date(d)) // Capital X

The above examples have been tested HERE, have a play around using the values below(taken from the d3 time formatting docs).

 - %a - abbreviated weekday name.
 - %A - full weekday name.
 - %b - abbreviated month name.
 - %B - full month name.
 - %c - date and time, as "%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y".
 - %d - zero-padded day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
 - %e - space-padded day of the month as a decimal number [ 1,31]; equivalent to %_d.
 - %H - hour (24-hour clock) as a decimal number [00,23].
 - %I - hour (12-hour clock) as a decimal number [01,12].
 - %j - day of the year as a decimal number [001,366].
 - %m - month as a decimal number [01,12].
 - %M - minute as a decimal number [00,59].
 - %L - milliseconds as a decimal number [000, 999].
 - %p - either AM or PM.
 - %S - second as a decimal number [00,61].
 - %U - week number of the year (Sunday as the first day of the week) as a decimal number [00,53].
 - %w - weekday as a decimal number [0(Sunday),6].
 - %W - week number of the year (Monday as the first day of the week) as a decimal number [00,53].
 - %x - date, as "%m/%d/%Y".
 - %X - time, as "%H:%M:%S".
 - %y - year without century as a decimal number [00,99].
 - %Y - year with century as a decimal number.
 - %Z - time zone offset, such as "-0700".
 - %% - a literal "%" character.
