Q: Leaflet slider group by year I'm using leaflet slider - https://github.com/dwilhelm89/LeafletSlider - but I can't get the desired result, even if from the plugin description it seems it can do.
I have a collection of features, geometry type is polygon, where I've inserted a property "time" as requested by the plugin.
I've tried bot with "time":"2014" and "time":"2014-01-01 00:00:00" with no difference.
I have in total 30 features, 10 for 2012, 10 for 2013 and 10 for 2014
What I'm trying to achieve is to show all the polygon of 2012, then 2013 and then 2014, by moving the slider, that should have 3 steps, each year one step.
Instead I get always one polygon at each slider move.
At the beginning I get also all the polygons (30) designed on top of each other, even if I specify "showAllOnStart: false"
here is my js code:
var geojson;
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $.getJSON("urlWhereIretrieveTheJson", function (geoJson) {
            geojson = L.geoJson(geoJson, { style: style, onEachFeature: onEachFeature }).addTo(map);

            var sliderControl = L.control.sliderControl({
                position: "bottomleft",
                layer: geojson,
                range: false,
                showAllOnStart: false
            });

            map.addControl(sliderControl);
            sliderControl.startSlider();
            ;
        });
    });

the json schema is like the following:
{"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{"type":"Feature",
"properties": {"name": "Thies","bl": 6,"**time**": "**2013-01-01 00:00:00+00**"},
"geometry":{"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[....]}
},{....}
]}

Here is a jsFiddle with complete code and datasource:
http://jsfiddle.net/brainsengineering/nboo4ksg/

A: The answer to one thing that
I get also all the polygons (30) designed on top of each other, even if I specify "showAllOnStart: false"
is that you're adding geojson this way
geojson = L.geoJson(geoJson, { style: style, onEachFeature: onEachFeature }).addTo(map);

don't add addTo(map) at the end, simply do this
geojson = L.geoJson(geoJson, { style: style, onEachFeature: onEachFeature });

the other thing is that you want to group your data based on same values i.e group data for year 2013, 2014 and 2015. For this we need to alter the plugin a bit because currently the plugin don't handle to group data based on same values. So here is the code
L.Control.SliderControl = L.Control.extend({
options: {
    position: 'topright',
    layers: null,
    timeAttribute: 'time',
    isEpoch: false,     // whether the time attribute is seconds elapsed from epoch
    startTimeIdx: 0,    // where to start looking for a timestring
    timeStrLength: 19,  // the size of  yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss - if millis are present this will be larger
    maxValue: -1,
    minValue: -1,
    showAllOnStart: false,
    markers: null,
    range: false,
    follow: false,
    alwaysShowDate : false,
    rezoom: null
},

initialize: function (options) {
    L.Util.setOptions(this, options);
    this._layer = this.options.layer;

},

extractTimestamp: function(time, options) {
    if (options.isEpoch) {
        time = (new Date(parseInt(time))).toString(); // this is local time
    }
    return time.substr(options.startTimeIdx, options.startTimeIdx + options.timeStrLength);
},

setPosition: function (position) {
    var map = this._map;

    if (map) {
        map.removeControl(this);
    }

    this.options.position = position;

    if (map) {
        map.addControl(this);
    }
    this.startSlider();
    return this;
},

onAdd: function (map) {
    this.options.map = map;

    // Create a control sliderContainer with a jquery ui slider
    var sliderContainer = L.DomUtil.create('div', 'slider', this._container);
    $(sliderContainer).append('

    //Prevent map panning/zooming while using the slider
    $(sliderContainer).mousedown(function () {
        map.dragging.disable();
    });
    $(document).mouseup(function () {
        map.dragging.enable();
        //Hide the slider timestamp if not range and option alwaysShowDate is set on false
        if (options.range || !options.alwaysShowDate) {
            $('#slider-timestamp').html('');
        }
    });

    var options = this.options;
    this.options.markers = [];
    this.options.unique_time_values = [];

    //If a layer has been provided: calculate the min and max values for the slider

            ++index_temp;

        this.options = options;*/

        var flags = [], unique_values = [],len;
        this._layer.eachLayer(function (layer) {

Jokes about Baptist and alcohol abound: Why do you take two Baptists with you when you go fishing? Because if you only take one, he'll drink all of your beer. Or, what is the difference between Presbyterians and Baptists? Presbyterians recognize each other in the liquor store. The point, of course, is that we pretty much all acknowledge that Baptists don't drink. At least, they're not supposed to. This makes a recent article from Baptist Press all the more interesting. In his article, David Roach asserts that "the Baptist consensus on alcohol may be shifting."
For well over a century, Southern Baptists have opposed drinking alcoholic beverages, in part over concern for the destruction alcohol has brought to people like Morrison. Amid national discussion this fall of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's youthful drinking and a mounting number of news reports on alcohol's negative effects, the reasons for Baptist opposition to drinking have come to the fore.
He's correct, of course, as my opening jokes underline. Southern Baptists and independent Baptists do not, as a general rule, drink alcohol. I was steeped in that teaching growing up (although it never took root). Many Baptists bend interpretative rules past the point of breaking and insist that Jesus turned water into non-alcoholic grape juice. Those in that camp teach what's called a two-wine theory: when the Bible speaks approvingly of wine, it's non-alcoholic; when the Bible speaks disapprovingly of wine, it's alcoholic. So, Roach's article and the research to which he points are of interest to those who are Baptist, grew up Baptist, or know Baptists. If he's correct, we may have to write new jokes about Baptists and alcohol.
In 2006, 80 percent of messengers (delegates) at the Southern Baptist Convention voted to adopt a resolution stating their "total opposition to the manufacturing, advertising, distributing, and consuming of alcoholic beverages." A year later, Lifeway Research reported that "just 3 percent of Southern Baptist pastors and 29 percent of Southern Baptist laity said they drank alcohol. That compared with 25 percent of non-Southern Baptist, Protestant pastors and 42 percent of non-Southern Baptist, Protestant laity."
Despite alcohol's dangers, [he] suspects the Baptist consensus on alcohol may be shifting. As evidence, he cites the lifting of alcohol bans at two Christian schools friendly to the SBC: Moody Bible Institute in 2013 and Dallas Theological Seminary in 2014. He also recalls a conversation with the former pastor of a notable Southern Baptist church who spoke openly of his own alcohol use.
Wrapping up his article, Roach includes anecdotal evidence pointing to a shifting position on alcohol among Baptists. In fact, Professor Lenow concludes, "I believe we are seeing a change from total abstinence to a trend of acceptance of alcohol among Southern Baptists. The emphasis has moved from warnings about alcohol to highlighting Christian freedom."
It may be time for some new jokes.

Location: The whitewater park is located in Meadow Park.
From Boulder take Hwy. 36 north to Lyons. Turn left on Hwy. 66, go through Lyons. Take a left on Hwy. 7 on the West side of Lyons, then a right into Meadow Park. The Sandstone rock pictured to the left is the park entrance. Please see our map. Our map is downloadable in pdf format and we have a map that can be loaded onto a Garmin GPS.
Description: The whitewater park in Lyons is new as of 2003. There are bathrooms, a ballfield, horseshoes and boating. The Saint Vrain River is a small front range river. The drop structures are spread out more than other local playparks leaving nice big pools and eddies. This playpark is easier than Boulder Creek and the Golden Playpark making it a better choice for the novice boater. The drops are at different angles/slopes lending to a variety of water features and waves. Currently there are not any gates set up. With all the trees around this course, temporary gates will not be a problem. The best rodeo hole is 1/2 mile below the actual playpark. It is just downstream of a foot bridge and is pictured to the left.
Please mouse over this picture. This dropstructure is just east of town and can be a take-out for the Playpark. It is about 1/2 mile below the park.
Meadow Park is where the main playpark resides.
Runnable as low as 60 cfs.
Parking: Parking is a $5.00 fee per vehicle per day.
There is camping just past the playpark.

Southern Miss confident in deep bullpen as season winds down
By Taylor Curet | May 9, 2019 at 11:22 PM CDT - Updated May 9 at 11:22 PM
HATTIESBURG, MS (WDAM) - In just two seasons at Southern Miss, pitching coach Christian Ostrander has made quite the impression.
Despite losing Conference USA pitcher of the year Nick Sandlin to the second round of MLB Draft, the Golden Eagles return as the top pitching team in the conference.
"I think we're a laid-back program," said USM junior right-hander Sean Tweedy. "Coach [Scott] Berry kind of treats us like big-leaguers. But this year coach Oz has grabbed us by the horn and taken us to a whole 'nother level energy-wise. It's really helped us this year, especially with the pitching staff."
Coach "Oz" has a simple philosophy – limit walks and runs. The Golden Eagles' 4.26 earned-run-average ranks first in the C-USA. Their 153 walks surrendered ranks second.
"As a pitcher you think about it's more important to make 'em miss, you want to make the hitter miss," Ostrander. "You want the strikeout, this and that. Well there's times you want to go for it. It's really more important about making them hit the pitch you want. And getting guys to understand that a good two-seam sinker down and in to a right-hander to get that ground-ball to shortstop within two pitches of an [at-bat] is more important sometimes than getting that five-pitch strikeout."
Pitching to contact is another one of Ostrander's principles. This season, he's comfortable throwing a number of guys out there.
In 19 appearances and zero starts, Tweedy leads the team with a 6-1 record. Right-hander Hunter Stanley leads USM with a 2.67 ERA. The Meridian Community College transfer holds a 5-1 record in his first year in Hattiesburg.
Oak Grove grad J.C. Keys has struck out 39 of 87 batters faced. The senior reliever has three saves, two wins and a 2.88 ERA. Friday starter Walker Powell is a three-time C-USA Pitcher of the Week this season with a 5-2 record and team-best 51 strikeouts.
A deep pitching staff should come in handy for the Golden Eagles with tired arms down the stretch.
"Coach Oz has done a great job in getting us prepared to just pass the baton, like he always says," Tweedy said. "Get the ball to the next guy. Even if we do good or do bad, the next guy's going to pick us up regardless." "Having a deep bullpen is huge, especially when you get to the end of the season," Stanley said. "Everybody's arm's feeling, you know it's getting to the nitty-gritty. If your starter doesn't have his best stuff, you can kind of rely on that bullpen to go get the outs you need."
"I think going down the stretch everybody has to have the mindset that they can come in and contribute," said USM head coach Scott Berry. "These last seven games, all hands on deck. Everybody has to be ready to go."
Sports Director
After spending two years in Hattiesburg as a sports reporter at WDAM, Taylor Curet was promoted to Sports Director in August 2018.
For the second time in three years, USM baseball coach Scott Berry finds himself searching for new assistants in the summer.Five days after associate head coach Chad Caillet accepted a position at Texas A&M, volunteer assistant coach B.A. Vollmuth decided to leave the baseball program...

Melbourne Victoria Australia
Home Places To Go Victoria Melbourne Melbourne
Set on Port Philip Bay, the city of Melbourne was founded in 1835 and is now the second-largest conurbation in Australia. The downtown district clusters around the River Yarra estuary and the rest of the city spreads out southwards along the bay and into the rural hinterland.
In 1847, Melbourne was formally declared a city by Queen Victoria and saw its glory days during the mid-19th century gold rush. Melbourne nowadays is known for its culture and the glorious parks which earned it the nickname of 'Garden City'.
Its traditional and contemporary music, dance and art, as well as its laid-back lifestyle resulted in the award of 'world's most liveable city' in both 2011 and 2012 by the Economist Group's Intelligence Unit.
The Victorian architecture, galleries and museums appeal to history buffs, and the four million Melburnians in residence are multicultural and sports-mad.
The city's wide variety of landmarks and activities attract a large number of UK tourists, and it's a great base for touring Victoria's Grampian National Park, viewing the penguin colonies on Philip Island or driving the scenic Great Ocean Road. A Melbourne-based tour around the locations used for the popular TV series Neighbours is an added attraction for many.
Cool Lanes
Melbourne is known for its cool lanes and coffee culture. The Bohemian quarter of Inner East boasts a plethora of character pubs and quirky boutiques and, to see and be seen at night, upscale Stonnington is the place.
Historic Clarendon in South Melbourne is the hub of the city, and the central business district holds the glamorous Docklands complex.
Transportation in the city is top-notch via taxis, trains, buses and trams, and most of the sights and the best hotels are within the central area.
The tram network is the world's largest, radiating out from the centre and offering a free, vintage tram, the City Circle service, for tourists.
Easy sightseeing is also provided by bus, with the free Melbourne City Tourist Shuttle stopping at favourite attractions and running every 15 minutes.
Hot Air Balloon Flights
A hot air balloon ride over Melbourne offers unprecedented views of the city's attractions.
Melbourne arts and culture
Melbourne's arts and culture are as diverse as its over four million multicultural residents, with the city considered Australia's cultural hub. From its 14 museums displaying everything from the city's nearly 200-year history to the region's fascinating aboriginal culture through opera, all forms of dance, theatre and comedy performances to its lively fundraisers and festivals, there's always something going on in this city.
A trail around Melbourne arts and culture begins at the world-class Melbourne Museum itself, with its stunning exhibits of everything from ancient world empires to the indigenous aboriginal culture and lifestyle.
The Immigration Museum explores the when, how and why of the creation of the city, and the tales of the migrants who arrived from every corner of the world for a new life. The Chinese Museum is a cornerstone of Melbourne's Chinatown and the Moorabbin Air Museum traces the history of Australian aviation and the Flying Doctor service.
Theatre in Melbourne is very much alive in all its forms, from the Australian Ballet Company, the Victoria Opera, the Opera Australia and the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic, and the internationally-known Melbourne Symphony Orchestra all regular performers at the Victorian Arts Centre and the National Theatre. The Melbourne Theatre Company and many smaller professional performance groups all give regular shows at the city's many arts venues.
Contemporary music and dance thrive here, especially in the entertainment district of St Kilda (pictured below), and there are regular gigs featuring international as well as local bands, concerts and jazz festivals.
Afro-Cuban and Latin American music and dance are favourites, and events such as Melbourne Music Week and the two-week long Dance Massif draw many thousands of visitors, as do the Melbourne Fringe Festival, the Melbourne Jazz Festival and the huge Big Day Out featuring headlining acts from across the world.

WABASHA, Minn. (FOX 47) – The Mississippi River continues to rise, which creates the possibility of flooding from Hastings to La Crescent.
The city of Wabasha is under a flood warning until further notice. The flood stage there is 12 feet, but as of Monday afternoon it is at 12.6 feet. Even though that classifies as minor flooding right now, it is expected to increase to moderate by mid-week.
Some homes and businesses around town are already preparing for the worst. Slippery's Tavern, a popular restaurant nestled on the banks of the Mississippi, is closed until further notice. A concrete barrier was recently installed to keep water from filtering into the business.
Meanwhile, the city has plans to meet with the Red Cross sometime this week to talk about opening shelters if people's homes are effected, and they need to be relocated.
"We're really kind of worried about the ice that's still on the lake and how that might affect… when the water rushes in with ice on top. That can cause significantly more damage than just regular water running through," said Tammy Fielder, the public health director for Wabasha County.
Wabasha County has also held two meetings to prepare for potential flooding. Sandbags are available for 25 cents at the Public Health Department window for anyone who needs them.
The National Weather Service expects the Mississippi to rise an additional three feet in Wabasha by Sunday night, bringing the total to 15 feet, which is considered moderate flooding.
Meanwhile, upstream in Hastings, that city is also under a flood warning until further notice. They are experiencing moderate flooding as of Monday afternoon, but that is expected to turn into major flooding. The water level is 17.3 feet, which is two feet higher than it should be.
The Mississippi River in Hastings is expected to rise to 20 feet by Sunday night. The town hasn't seen that much water since 2001.
With that in mind, workers at King's Cove Marina are busy launching boats ahead of the major floodwaters. "Every flood I'm concerned. It's always a question of whether or not we're able to respond to it. So, as an example, I started ice breaking two weeks ago to open up this bay to launch these boats," said Bill King, who owns King's Cove Marina in Hastings. They're trying to get 10 to 15 boats in the marina per day. Since Friday, they've done about 20, but have 70 more to go.
Right now, the city of Hastings could see water rise to 20 feet by Sunday night, if not higher. They have not seen flooding that bad since 2001 when the water reached 22 feet.

Q: Can't generate GtkBuilder.xml in glade I'm trying to design some window in glade, and I want it to use in my python code using GtkBuilder
I just somehow can't generate GtkBuilder xml
When I save something in Glade I get .glade file
Can you please help me how can I generate GtkBuilder xml?
$ rpm -q glade3
glade3-3.10.0-2.fc15.x86_64

Thank you

A: I have tried the following on Ubuntu 10.04 but I guess it should work on your system as well. If you are using glade-3 when you are saving the file, select Save As... option instead of Save, you will prompted to enter the file name with file browser displayed. Here in the bottom left corner you can see selection options for file format like:
File Formats
() GtkBuilder
() Libglade
(sorry cant upload image ): )
Select GtkBuilder option and save as the filename.xml of your choice. That should do it!
To cross check if the generated file is .glade file or GtkBuilder compatible XML file (as both are in XML format) root node in .glade file will be glade-interface whereas in GtkBuilder compatible XML file it will be interface
If you have an existing .glade file you can look into gtk-builder-convert script to convert to GtkBuilder compatible XML file.
Hope this helps!

A: May this tutor be of some help ?

After the finish of "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji"(富嶽三十六景), the star ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai started the new series of the Japanese wave arts "One Thousand Images of the Sea"(Oceans of Wisdom,千絵の海) in 1833.
He had mainly depicted the combination of the view with Mt.Fuji, the rivers, and the rakes in "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji".
But the theme of "Oceans of Wisdom" focused on the people who lived around the sea and the rivers, and went fishing.
He used the sketches which he drew for "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji", other landscape printings, and the topographies as the reference.
Though the series contains ten pictures, Tokyo National Museum holds other incomplete artwork. The half of the prints show the view of the sea and others the rivers. You can hardly see the whole prints all at once. Because the number of the now-existing works are clearly less than "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji".
"Oceans of Wisdom" is a rare series less than 10 in the world compared with the number of "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" being 50 or more, or 100 or more.
The woodblock printing depicts the scenery around Ryogoku, Edo City. The long fishing line bundled in the net has many fishing hooks. On the other shore, we can see many buildings that keep the boats owned by the shogunate.
This picture shows the state of the quiet inland sea in Chiba Prefecture. The people on the beach are clamoring. Hokusai painted the same place as 'Bay of Noboto' in "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji".
It is the sea in the vicinity of Uraga City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Because this has been also the inland sea of Tokyo Bay, Hokusai painted a quiet water surface without wave. In the middle of the screen, a man is fishing up a fish. The man's body and fishing line express the momentary shot.
The Tonegawa River flows from the northwest to the southeast of the Kanto region. In the Edo Period it was an important waterway that carries supplies from the sea into the Edo City. Hokusai painted a fisherman who captured river fish in the river.
They fishes in the Kinugawa River running through Tochigi Prefecture. The gradation of the waves going down to overlap is impressive. The movement of those who captivate fish is contrasting with the quietness of the people who looks at them and walks with horses far away.
The Japanese whaling has been often in a state of international argument and the prints depicts the scene. Hokusai painted this picture from a distant viewpoint the situation of intense whaling.
It is a state of fishing which was done in present Yamanashi Prefecture. The fishermen waved the torches at night and captured the fish drawn by the lights. We can also see the shinning stars in the night sky.
This picture depicts those who fish with the artificial bait. Hokusai used many geometric patterns such as the parallel lines of haze and riverbanks, the round shapes of the braided hat, and the triangles of the net.
The people takes fish falling with a lot of water from the steps. They seem to fish separately because they use their tools such as the baskets, nets and sieve. Hokusai expressed the splashing and winding water with the subtle colors and lines.
It's like a woodblock printing that closing up 'The Great Wave Off Kanagawa'. Hokusai drew boldly the waves protruding from the screen. It's a powerful picture that would inhale those who see it.
In the same as his just before woodblock series, Hokusai used a rare pigment at that time for "One Thousand Images of the Sea". Prussian blue was imported into Japan around 1830. So the color was really cutting edge for ukiyo-e artists. The publisher got the pigment for him to express deep blue of the ocean and the sky.
Especially, we are captivated the bright Prussian blue in the wave of Soshu Choshi. The harshness and deepness have something in common with 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'. Utagawa Hiroshige(歌川広重) who had excellent skill in landscape picture also could handle the precious color in his artworks.

The art piece comes gallery wrapped, ready for wall hanging with no additional framing required.

Who is Ferran Adria? The reason why there's a TV show called "Decoding Ferran Adria", he's also the man behind the secret codes of gastronomic success of the famous El Bulli restaurant in the outskirt of Barcelona, Spain. In my early entries, I revealed my great admiration for this world famous chef because of his unique way of preparing different dishes through the power of science as part of his cooking stints. Gone are the days when man used to rub two big block of rocks to create fire, when one will be astonished when you see suds in your dessert plate... these things are nothing but natural in the daily serving of food in El Bulli restaurant.
Different techniques and styles were experimented by master chef Ferran Adria. He trained his kitchen people to delicately execute each technique that he will teach them. It takes passion and understanding to be able to come up with something delectable when eaten in a mouthful serving only. In one bite the essence of your concoction should captivate the person eating the food. That's how hard the task is... I truly salute people in El Bulli's kitchen. Though at one episode in Bourdain's "No Reservations" he visited El Bulli and tried to decode the success of Ferran Adria's formula---he was amazed but at the end he did not agree with the science of how food was prepared. He still values the 100% natural method. Bourdain has a valid point and I somehow agree with him. On the other hand I also understand Adria for being inventive and creative in giving new styles in the technology of preparing food.
In El Bulli there is what they call "bullisnack" a small portion of food, dried or fresh, usually mouthful. The symbols above will help you understand the El Bulli's gartonomic language. I will interpret the diagram above based on the things I remember when I watched one of the Decoding Ferran Adria's episodes. The first box is grain, third is vegetable oil, the seventh is water, the twelveth cereals, thirteenth bowls, fourteenth pasta noodles and I'm not sure if fifteenth is legume. The rest I can't remember, I'm still trying to decode them. Hehe! Anyway I'll introduce another word from Bulli, the "tapas or tapear." Acccording to Ferran Adria, tapas are recipes that, because of their nature or their harmony are best offered in small portions. A different way of eating small, intense, whims, a luxury for your palate. To eat also without the use of knife. This is significant to me because a lot of chefs around the world are trying to imitate this through their serving. In Manila, I observed chefs for hire are also doing the same thing. The trend here nowadays is the 14 course meal with a mouthful serving and yet very expensive. Simply an imitation of the world famous "tapas" in El Bulli.
As stated by Adria, "When food enters the mouth, the tactile feeling perceived after noting its temperature is what is known texture." Now we know how important texture is. In my own conclusion, Ferran Adria's creativity is highly exceptional. He used them to come up with something that will create new trends around the world. Just like fashion every season there are surprising designs that really captivate the crowd. Same with food we have to be inventive and creative. It's not just designing the plate but also designing what is the content of the food that will be eaten. I believe every cook or chef is an inventor or scientist of appetizing dishes.
oh adria. do post this again when you decode the rest of the symbols. nice entry. nice passion.
I think Ferran Adria ist one of the greatest Art Designer. Look at the URL and see his designet products. Is it perfect or not?

Bullets, Bombs, and Babes: The Films of Andy Sidaris
Feature by: David Carter and Glenn Heath Jr.
Posted on: 06 August 2012
If you've watched a televised sporting event in the past sixty years, you're unknowingly familiar what's known as the "Sidaris style." The name is taken from one Andy Sidaris, the Chicago-born, Louisiana-raised son of Greek immigrants, who took a part time job at Dallas TV station WFAA-TV while studying at Southern Methodist University in the late 1950s. He quickly found himself in charge of directing the station's original programming, most notably sports coverage. He revolutionized the visual presentation of sports on television, particularly football, where he was the first to utilize hand-held cameras on the field to bring the audience closer to the action. Foreshadowing his later career, Sidaris also instituted the practice of inserting shots of cheerleaders during lulls in the game.
As sports became a bigger part of national networks' line-ups in the 1960s, Sidaris was hired by both NBC and ABC to train their staffs in his unique brand of cinematography, and he later joined ABC full time as the first director of their Wide World of Sports program. He remained an innovator of sports coverage for many years, winning Emmys for his direction of everything from college football to the Olympics. Sidaris was both aware and proud of his accomplishments, having contributed an artful aesthetic to heretofore prosaic televised sports coverage, and when a USA Today sports columnist criticized one of his broadcasts, he remarked, "Oh well. One more Emmy and my house would sink into the Pacific anyway."
Sidaris had an equally large passion for filmmaking. His first foray into the medium was 1969's The Racing Scene, a documentary on auto racing that featured groundbreaking camerawork but was never widely released due to a dispute between the documentary's subject, actor James Garner, and the producers. Sidaris would go on to make Stacey! in 1973 and Seven in 1979, neither of which struck a chord with audiences and are simply sketches of ideas seen in his later films. According to Sidaris, the biggest lesson he learned from these first attempts at feature filmmaking was that if he was to be successful, he would need to have complete creative control. So, when he returned to feature filmmaking with Malibu Express in 1985, he did so with much clearer resolve. Malibu Express, like with the next eleven films Sidaris would be involved with, was a unique take on the action genre filled with evidence of his own obsessions, worldview, and sense of morality.
Sidaris' twelve films of the 1980s and 90s form a single storyline and subvert several conventions of the action genre, most notably the role of women. His atypical depiction of females within the context of action cinema is the most recognizable facet of his work and has lead to them being referred to as "Girls with Guns" films. Apt though it is, there is an implicit dismissal of the films' artistic merit within this term—it too succinctly distills the films to their barest essence. But the fact that this term oversimplifies Sidaris' work might also make it the best term to use, however. Sidaris' work has primarily been judged on a superficial level only, making it fitting to use a term that represents an underestimation of the films' sophistication and intelligence.
Sidaris himself referred to his films as "Triple B Movies," a term more descriptive of the content of the films than perhaps any other. Implied by this label is the idea that the films offer up exponentially more of the tropes typically associated with B-movies, in much the same way that it is implied that a XXX film is significantly more explicit than a singular X-rated film. This is not an exaggeration in the case of Sidaris' films, as they were very much created with an exploitation filmmaker's mindset to give the audience an abundance of action, adventure and sex. Sidaris' term has a literal meaning as well, one that describes the formula by which he constructed the films: the three B's stand for bullets, bombs and babes.
Bullets naturally factor heavily into the Girls with Guns films and gunplay and gunrunning play significant roles in many of the plots. There is another, more important aspect to Sidaris' use of guns in his films: an obsession with technology and the "new." In interviews Sidaris admitted to a habit of "constantly going to gun stores to check out various new weapons as they hit the market." This obsession is most readily seen in his employment of the latest advancements in firearms but also extends beyond that to include vehicles, computers and other gadgetry. Several of the Girls with Guns films see cutting edge – but affordable – technology used as plot points and all of the films incorporate some type of technological exoticism.
Sidaris also frequently hinted at a secondary source for the fascination with gadgetry, the James Bond franchise. In many ways, the Girls with Guns series can be seen as both parody and homage to the James Bond films. Imagine James Bond directed by Russ Meyer, and you've got a close approximation of Sidaris' oeuvre. All of the films are about secret government agents and place a similar emphasis on gadgetry as well as frequent location changes and shadowy multi-national criminal organizations.
As for his second B, explosions occur frequently in Sidaris' films and are used for both dramatic and comedic effect, often serving as a narrative end to a scene. There are few lulls in Sidaris' narratives and very few filler scenes. He kept his films moving at a frenetic pace, often juggling multiple plots, characters and locations at once. It is not uncommon in the Girls with Guns series for the film to be simultaneously following three separate teams of agents with as many locations and goals. His elimination of most, if not all, superfluous detail shows that Sidaris was very conscious of his viewership and their expectations of his films.
The final B is the one for which the Girls with Guns films are best known: babes. Sidaris filled his films with Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets and marketed them on that basis. Stacey! and Seven each featured beautiful women but employed them in a manner in keeping with the standard for action cinema at the time: eye candy. Beginning with Malibu Express, Sidaris would change the way in which he depicted women. He still cast beautiful women in supporting roles but there was a greater emphasis on their intelligence and resourcefulness. Women not only assist the male hero with his goals, they save his life more than once.
Beginning with Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Sidaris would begin the Girls with Guns series in earnest by using female main characters. Hard Ticket to Hawaii continued Sidaris' subversion of standard gender roles began in Malibu Express and has the roles of men and women effectively reversed, with women being depicted as strong, resourceful and brave and men as weak, unintelligent and cowardly. Hard Ticket represents a decisive break with the typical depictions of women in action cinema. Sidaris' women are neither damsels-in-distress dependent on men to rescue them nor femme fatales preying on men through their sexual charms. Their strength is depicted as neither feminine nor masculine, simply human.
Sidaris' intent to glorify the women's abilities without tying them to a specific gender identity is evident through his choice of language. His heroines are never referred to as the best "female agents" but simply the "best agents." His male villains never mention that their opponents are female. Gender is a non-issue for the characters in the Girls with Guns series; a vast departure from the majority of films where the achievements of heroines are marginalized, if shown at all. Sidaris' subversion of gender roles is too pervasive to have been accidental and its uniqueness warrants further analysis.
Sidaris' most memorable contributions to cinema, Hard Ticket to Hawaii and Picasso Trigger, will be shown as part of our series at 92Y Tribeca on August 10, 2012.

PSO likely to get Rs35b in past payments
K-P regularises services of 40,000 schoolteachers
Three years on, painful memories still haunt families of APS martyrs
Judicial probe into the Dec 16, 2014 attack demanded
Asad Zia December 16, 2017
PESHAWAR: Three years on, relatives of the young martyrs of the Army Public School (APS) Peshawar still look for closure as the painful memories of the loved-ones they lost on that fateful day are yet to fade.
They have constantly been demanding of the government to order a judicial inquiry into the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) attack on December 16, 2014 in which around 150 people – mostly young students – were massacred by terrorists.
Tufail Tariq is an eyewitness to the attack, who lost his two brothers. On the eve of the third anniversary of the attack, Tariq shared with The Express Tribune the painful memories that "linger with us".
Tufail's brothers, Nangyaal and Shamwal, students of 9th and 8th grades respectively, were among the 132 pupils slain by the heartless enemy. "The incident of APS destroyed us," he says.
Timeline: Militant attacks on schools from 2012-2017
Their father, Tariq Khan, is still in shock and the family seeks justice. "My two children were martyred while the remaining three are traumatised," he told The Express Tribune.
Tufail was in the 7th grade. He could be promoted to 8th grade in three years. "Tufail suffers from the mental trauma and left the school," Tariq Khan said. "My second son fell ill due to shock," he added.
But the greatest of all the predicaments for the father of the martyrs was that he had to be strong to be able to console other family members. "As an elder of the family, I couldn't cry [in front of the family]. I showed them that I'm a strong person but actually [I was not] I cried when I was alone."
Tufail said that December 16 is very difficult day for his family, "We cannot face this day, the memoires of my brothers would not fade," he said, adding that since that incident, "I hardly go to school".
APS, trauma, and the scars that never heal
He continued, "I dropped my younger brother at the gate of school [three years ago]. I don't have the courage to cross the gate and enter the school again. The APS attack destroyed my life. I have no friends to share my dreams with."
"Sometimes my grief is overcome by anger… sometimes, I think of joining a group and take revenge for my brothers [murder]," he said.
Like many other aggrieved families, Tariq wants closure.
"We do not want anything from the government. We [just] request the government and the Pakistan Army to investigate the attack, form a judicial inquiry and provide justices to the victim families."

Q: How to find out if audio is in use under Windows 7 Basic Info
I am writing a system service for Windows 7 (and Windows Server 2008 R2) that shall gather information about the computer so that it can ultimatly be decided if the computer is in use or not.
I am using C# and .NET 4.0.
Problem
As some people could probably use their computer just for audio playback and nothing else at some time, knowing that audio is or is not being played back at a given moment would help my cause.
I don't care about what is being played or by which application. For how long and how long ago could both be interesting, but are not essential.
Most questions and answers around audio and C# are concerned about playing audio or recording audio being played on the same machine. That makes it very difficult to search for
It would also not be enough to only know it for one application, for example Windows Media Player.
My idea rather was to hook up to the main Windows Audio Control. I'm thinking of the component, that stands behind the speaker symbol in ones taskbar. It mixes together all the sounds and thus I'd like to ask it if there is anything being played right now. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea how to even search for information on that topic. (I don't know if it has a special name as a component. Is this already connected to the Windows Core Audio APIs?)
Therefore any help and all new ideas would be greatly appreciated.


One time many years ago, I was riffling through my grandmother Ruth's box of handwritten recipe cards when I pulled up short at the sight of the title of this recipe for Cheese Sandwich Soufflé. Soufflé? Fancy! But reading the details, I quickly understood that this item was nothing more or less than the wedding of a ham-and-cheese sandwich and some French toast.
But that didn't make it a soufflé. It required no separating of eggs, nor any beating of egg whites. Once I actually made the recipe, however, the title didn't seem like such a stretch. Fresh out of the oven, these sandwiches have puffed up in a very soufflé-ish way. Similarly, they boast the moistness and airiness of a souffle.
But what I especially loved about the recipe was how ridiculously easy it is to prepare, making it the ideal candidate for a weeknight meal. (Huh? A sandwich for supper? Yes. Eggs for supper? Indeed.) Preparing this dish is so simple, you ought to consider inviting your kids to help. But whether or not the kids lend a hand, this sandwich will be even more attractive once the schoolyear – and the hectic dinnertime grind – kicks in. Just know that you'll have to plan ahead a bit; the sandwiches need to soak in the egg/milk mixture for a full hour before you pop them into the oven.
This recipe can be customized in all sorts of ways. You can swap out the ham for smoked turkey, prosciutto or your meat of choice. You can lose the Gruyere in favor of provolone, cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese. Vegetarians in the family? Say goodbye to the meat and hello to a hearty vegetable like grilled eggplant or sautéed Portobello mushrooms. Want to make a slimmer version? Use low-fat cheese and nonfat milk. However you roll, all you'll need to flesh out the meal is a side salad or vegetable. These sandwiches are plenty hearty.
In a lightly buttered 8-inch-square baking dish, arrange 4 slices of the bread flat on the bottom, trimming the slices if necessary to fit snuggly in one layer. Cover each slice with one-fourth of the cheese and one-fourth of the meat and top each one with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.
In a bowl beat the eggs lightly with the salt, add the milk and beat until combined well. Pour the mixture over the sandwiches, cover and chill 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the sandwiches on the middle shelf of the oven uncovered until they are browned around the edges and just set in the center, about 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer a baked sandwich to each of 4 plates and serve right away.

A really rather good first novel by local author Rosie Lear begins with a murder in Sherborne Abbey's Lady Chapel. It is set in 1436 at a time of growing ill-feeling between the monastery and the townsfolk. It is a fast-moving yarn which makes ideal summer reading, if you like medieval whodunits, that is. I do, and enjoyed this one greatly. The Abbey Shop in the Close and the Abbey bookstall are now stocking Missal for Murder, at £8 a copy.

FINSEC Reference Architecture I
March 27, 2019 at 9:00:19 AM
The present document shows the first part of work done within FINSEC project to design and build a suitable Reference Architecture (RA) for the cyber and physical security platform to secure the Infrastructure of organizations in the Financial Sector.
The work on Reference Architecture has been conducted as a team work that involved all Consortium beneficiaries. The work is also a continuous and incremental process and the present deliverable is a stable snapshot of the status of the RA at the date of submission. An updated version of this deliverable will be produced at month 18 of the project, taking into account all the improvements and due verifications over the period. Nonetheless, the actual RA fulfills the project milestone M2 fully specifying the RA of the FINSEC platform.
The FINSEC partners have selected a methodology to work on the RA, identifying it in the "4+1" architectural view model, which is presented in the document. The methodology is based on five different views, from which the structure of the system can be analyzed (logical view, process view, development view, physical view and scenarios). Moreover, it is demonstrated that all the functionalities of FINSEC environment are properly covered by this model.
The State of the Art analysis conducted underlined that some already existing Reference Architectures can give suitable input to FINSEC, such as the horizontal overlaying of RA over physical and cyber assets to be protected, and the use of Big Data infrastructures to support the functionalities of the platforms. Relevant inputs to the task have been considered, in particular the input coming from use-cases considered in task T2.1 and a cross reference matrix. Finally, a multi-layer and high level reference view and a detailed logical view of the RA are presented. In particular, three main tiers have been structured (edge tier, data tier and service tier), containing the building blocks to perform the core services. The resulting RA ensures full communication and interaction between all the building blocks, from the lowest level (the field, communicating with the RA through probes) up to the application and visualization layers. Along with the edge and presentation tiers, the identified building blocks provide the functionalities of the FINSEC platform for a more general class of use cases.
The feasibility of the proposed logical view has been proved by a complete mapping between the RA building blocks and the project use cases, whose functionalities will be assessed during WP6 activities.

Button not ruling out Ferrari move
"I don't know what will happen in the future"
Jenson Button is refusing to rule out a future move to Ferrari, despite saying recently he wants to close his formula one career at McLaren.
The 31-year-old has raced at McLaren alongside Lewis Hamilton since winning the 2009 title with Brawn.
He is under contract until the end of next year and admitted in Monaco that his three target teams as a youngster were Williams, McLaren and Ferrari.
"I've got to drive for two of them, which is great, which as an eight-year-old kid I didn't expect to do.
"As a kid you are very excited about racing for the red team," he is quoted as saying by the Guardian.
"Ferrari is obviously a team I haven't raced for. I've won the world championship and I would love to win the world championship again," added Button.
The 9-time grand prix winner said recently he would like to finish his career at McLaren, but he now insists: "I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't plan too far ahead."
With Fernando Alonso signed up through 2016, the hypothetical seat to be taken by Button is currently occupied by Felipe Massa.
Asked if he can imagine pairing with the feisty Spaniard, Button answered: "It's not teammates I'm afraid of, at all. I love the challenge of teammates.
"Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and it's interesting to work them out. But I don't know what will happen in the future."

Tasmania explores redrawing electorates | The West Australian
brandsauthority June 6, 2022 World News Leave a comment 90 Views
The Tasmanian government is investigating whether electoral boundaries should be redrawn as part of a plan to expand parliament.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff in May announced he would introduce legislation this year to restore the state's lower house from 25 to 35 members for the next election, due in 2025.
There had been growing calls to boost the number of Tasmanian politicians after Liberal premiers Will Hodgman and Peter Gutwein stepped down in 2020 and April respectively.
Both cited a heavy workload and a desire to spend more time with family.
Tasmania's lower house was reduced from 35 to 25 members in 1998 and the state's seven electorates cut to five.
Mr Rockliff was asked by Labor opposition leader Rebecca White in an estimates committee on Monday whether the proposed expansion would mean a return to seven electorates.
"We'll be working through the matters … in terms of five electorates of seven (members), or seven electorates of five," he said.
"I'll be seeking further advice on the matter and of course any draft bill will be coming out for public consultation.
"I have written to the electoral commissioner … in respect to our recent announcement. I did want to explore … if there is a benefit in reforming electoral boundaries.
"I said I would appreciate his advice on the consequences of revising Tasmania's existing electoral boundaries from five electorates to seven electorates."
Tasmania's five electorates, Bass, Braddon, Clark, Franklin and Lyons, are each represented by five MPs elected under the Hare-Clark voting system.
The return to 35 lower-house members has the in-principle support of Labor and the Greens.

Three Language Planning Areas announced by Minister of State for the Gaeltacht, Joe McHugh T.D.
Government Chief-Whip and Minister of State for the Irish language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands, Joe McHugh T.D., today (29 August 2017) announced the commencement of the language planning process in the following three Gaeltacht language planning areas: Bearna and Cnoc na Cathrach, Galway City East and An tEachréidh.
"The commencement shortly of the preparation of language plans in the three Gaeltacht areas in the eastern part of the Galway Gaeltacht," Minister of State McHugh said, "means that the language planning process is now underway in all Gaeltacht areas. It's a great achievement that the Gaeltacht communities involved in this process have taken it upon themselves to prepare language plans for their areas. It shows how committed these communities are to carrying forward their native language to the next generation and I congratulate them on the amount of work they have done to date."
Note to the editor
Of the 23 Gaeltacht language planning areas recognised under the Gaeltacht Act 2012, the process has commenced in 23 areas to date and with this announcement the process will have commenced in the final three areas, Bearna and Cnoc na Cathrach, Galway City East and An tEachréidh.
The Department has received three plans to date, the language plans of Gaoth Dobhair, Cloich Chionnaola and Cois Fharraige, and it is envisaged that plans for the following areas will be submitted to the Department for approval under the Gaeltacht Act between now and the end of the year:
West Kerry
South Kerry
Na Déise
An Cheathrú Rua
Múscraí
Ceantar na nOileán
Dúiche Sheoigheach and Tuar Mhic Éadaigh
Conamara Láir
With regard to the Gaeltacht Service Towns, Údarás na Gaeltachta will use the allocation of €735,000 to advance the process during the current year as it relates to the preparation of language plans in the following Gaeltacht Service Towns: Daingean Uí Chúis, Béal an Mhuirthead and An Clochán Liath.
Foras na Gaeilge will use an allocation of €115,000 sanctioned for them to advance the language plan preparation process this year in Galway City, Cork City, Letterkenny, Tralee and Dungarvan. The funds will also be used to prepare plans for the following Irish-language Networks: Clondalkin; Ennis, Co. Clare and Loughrea, Co. Galway.
In addition to the language planning fund above, the broad programme of schemes, measures and initiatives – funded from the Exchequer – will continue to be implemented by the Department, Údarás na Gaeltachta and Irish-language organisations, which will act as a continual support for the language planning process.
Language plans will involve a 7-year implementation period and it is generally intended to carry out an interim review on each language plan in year 3 and a final review in year 6 of the implementation.
Gaeltacht Service Towns:
Daingean Uí Chúis (Údarás)

Urijah Faber Would Love A Shot At Coaching The Ultimate Fighter
Damon Martin
The merger between the UFC and the WEC is expected to bring the featherweights and bantamweights to a whole new level of popularity and exposure, and one of the best ways to realize that will be when the first class of 145-pound or 135-pound fighters make their way to "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show.
The long running Spike TV series has been a launching pad for numerous UFC fighters, while also propelling the coaches into the spotlight. Many have found new success while a few others have become infamous villains for their role on the show, but no matter how you cut it "The Ultimate Fighter" shines a very bright light on all those involved.
One person who would jump at the chance to be the first WEC crossover fighter to take a shot at coaching on the show is former featherweight champion Urjiah Faber. Leading his own Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, Calif., Faber already has a reputation for building some of the best featherweights and bantamweights in the world.
"I'd love to do that," Faber said about coaching on the show. "I think I really enjoy (it) on some level. I'm not the guy that's coaching my guys individually every day, but I give a lot of talks on mentality and things like that. I've got a ton of knowledge, I think it would be awesome to be an 'Ultimate Fighter' coach."
Faber also just happens to be the WEC's most popular and well-known fighter and would likely fit in right away with "The Ultimate Fighter" format.
The "California Kid" has brought up many fighters into the WEC already, such as Joseph Benavidez and current featherweight contender Chad Mendes. Faber has also taken on many projects for fighters he hopes will make their way into the UFC, including 2010 NCAA championship runner-up wrestler Lance Palmer from Ohio State University.
Dana White has stated they would "absolutely" do an "Ultimate Fighter" show with the new weight classes, and while season 13 casting is already underway for welterweight and middleweight cast members, it wouldn't be a stretch to think the 14th installment could introduce featherweights and/or bantamweights.
Faber's inclusion could bring a similar level of popularity to the show just as many UFC fighters have done in the past. Coaching opposite someone like current WEC champion Dominick Cruz with a title fight at the end of the season could be a perfect scenario for the show.
First though, Faber has to get past Japanese heavy hitter Takeya Mizugaki at WEC 52 on Nov. 11 if he hopes to maintain the headline status he would need to go into a coaches role on "The Ultimate Fighter."

maxon inaugurates Technology Center IV and invests in renewable energies
In Obwalden (Switzerland), maxon has invested CHF 16 million into erecting a new production building at the exact same location where everything started 60 years ago. Where shearing foils were made back in the day, precision drive systems for high-tech applications are now produced.

At the headquarters of drive specialist maxon, a little bit of history has vanished to make space for the future. During the past three years, the company's oldest production building was torn down, leaving only the foundation walls – and then reconstructed, with an additional floor and the new name Technology Center IV (TC IV). This is the spot where maxon's success story started 60 years ago, when Interelectric AG was founded. Motors and drive systems were still far off in the future; instead, shearing foils for razors were produced using galvanic processes. The distinctive building with its sawtooth roof was a landmark on the Sachseln campus for decades, even after many additional buildings were added through the years.
maxon has invested CHF 16 million in the new Technology Center IV. This includes building the new production facility that offers 2400 square meters of floorspace, renovating the office wing, and replacing the energy center. The old oil heating system has been replaced by an efficient ground water heat pump. Like the other Technology Centers on the site, the new building has a photovoltaic system on the roof, with a peak power of 120 kW. Including the existing systems, the Sachseln campus is thus now equipped with a capacity of 670 kW in total.
Starting at the beginning of October, the existing production lines, temporarily hosted elsewhere on the campus, will be moved to TC IV. Additionally, new drive systems are produced there, for example for medical technology, robotics or the automotive industry. One of new assembly lines being created in the new space will produce special motors needed for highly dynamic shock absorbers in luxury sports cars. "We have an excellent infrastructure," says Daniel von Wyl, the site manager. "With the new building, we are making another huge leap regarding sustainability and the environment. On this site, maxon is now already producing as much power as approx. 100 single-family houses. With the additional production floorspace in TC IV, we have created the prerequisites for new products and projects."
Completion of TC IV also marked the end of the construction work at the headquarters for the time being. However, maxon is also investing in other countries, such as the UK. In the coming years, a modern production building will be erected there for Parvalux, which became part of the maxon Group in 2018.
