Stunning images courtesy of Paul Clipson. Paul was introduced to me by Daniel Kasman of MUBI's The Notebook. Paul was coming to Edinburgh to visit his mum and Daniel thought we'd get along. I ended up arranging for Paul to show his films at Edinburgh College of Art and a good crowd of students showed up to get their eyes drunk on his dazzling visuals.
Paul is a projectionist in San Francisco and with his spare cash he's an experimental filmmaker, buying up Super-8 while it's still out there and compiling elegantly layered movies of light and colour and movement.
Paul explained that much of his aesthetic is informed by what his camera can and can't do. It allows him to wind the film back to do double, or triple, or infinituple exposures. But it only allows him to wind back a short way. Also, the films are edited entirely with film splicing, the traditional way, so there's no opportunity to add longer dissolves or correct anything in post. All Paul does is select, prune, arrange.
The films are shown at longer events with live music played alongside the movies but without regard to their content — the musicians typically look at their keyboards so the ways in which the films interact with the "soundtrack" are entirely coincidental, but often startling. For our show, Paul had shorter versions of his films with pre-prepared accompaniment played out of his laptop.
The film's are visually intoxicating — by crash-zooming on city lights and multi-layering via many exposures, Paul has created his own Stargate sequence a la 2001. He's also got an effect going I've never seen anywhere else — by having various layers of foreground action passing between us and our nominal subject (for instance, a girl running in a forest with trees at different distances between us and her, momentarily occluding our view) and double exposing and cutting FAST, Paul can get a sequence to the point where our grasp of film language disintegrates — we can no longer tell if, at any moment, we are seeing a single image, a double exposure, a continuous shot, or a series of edits. It's not that it all becomes a blur — each frame seems super-bright and clear, firing into our brains like a bullet — instead, the mass fragmentation results in a higher unity (a Höheren Einheit, if you will), where all the shots and layers fuse together in one.
Afterwards, the conversation briefly turned to Theodore Roszak's cinematic conspiracy novel Flicker, and it only struck me later that if anybody ever manages to film that tome (and many, including Gilliam, have tried), Paul is the one person who could adequately visualize the occult film techniques employed within its pages…

I loved his style. 'Absteigend' was my favourite of the films he showed at the college. A bit like a Super 8 'Metropolis'. http://youtu.be/kGumdQcownQ
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, bits of Metropolis, Blade Runner, 2001… with all the people and stories cleared away.

ACR Tasks is a suite of features within Azure Container Registry that provides streamlined and efficient Docker container image builds in Azure. In this article, you learn how to use the quick task feature of ACR Tasks.
The "inner-loop" development cycle is the iterative process of writing code, building, and testing your application before committing to source control. A quick task extends your inner-loop to the cloud, providing you with build success validation and automatic pushing of successfully built images to your container registry. Your images are built natively in the cloud, close to your registry, enabling faster deployment.
All your Dockerfile expertise is directly transferrable to ACR Tasks. You don't have to change your Dockerfiles to build in the cloud with ACR Tasks, just the command you run.
In subsequent tutorials, you learn to use ACR Tasks for automated container image builds on code commit and base image update. ACR Tasks can also run multi-step tasks, using a YAML file to define steps to build, push, and optionally test multiple containers.
If you'd like to use the Azure CLI locally, you must have Azure CLI version 2.0.46 or later installed and logged in with az login. Run az --version to find the version. If you need to install or upgrade the CLI, see Install Azure CLI.
Create an account on https://github.com if you don't already have one. This tutorial series uses a GitHub repository to demonstrate automated image builds in ACR Tasks.
Next, use the GitHub UI to fork the sample repository into your GitHub account. In this tutorial, you build a container image from the source in the repo, and in the next tutorial, you push a commit to your fork of the repo to kick off an automated task.
Once you've forked the repo, clone your fork and enter the directory containing your local clone.
The commands in this tutorial series are formatted for the Bash shell. If you prefer to use PowerShell, Command Prompt, or another shell, you may need to adjust the line continuation and environment variable format accordingly.
Now that you've pulled the source code down to your machine, follow these steps to create a container registry and build the container image with ACR Tasks.
To make executing the sample commands easier, the tutorials in this series use shell environment variables. Execute the following command to set the ACR_NAME variable. Replace <registry-name> with a unique name for your new container registry. The registry name must be unique within Azure, and contain 5-50 alphanumeric characters. The other resources you create in the tutorial are based on this name, so you should need to modify only this first variable.
az acr build --registry $ACR_NAME --image helloacrtasks:v1 .
Output from the az acr build command is similar to the following. You can see the upload of the source code (the "context") to Azure, and the details of the docker build operation that the ACR task runs in the cloud. Because ACR tasks use docker build to build your images, no changes to your Dockerfiles are required to start using ACR Tasks immediately.
$ az acr build --registry $ACR_NAME --image helloacrtasks:v1 .
npm WARN helloworld@1.0.0 No repository field.
Near the end of the output, ACR Tasks displays the dependencies it's discovered for your image. This enables ACR Tasks to automate image builds on base image updates, such as when a base image is updated with OS or framework patches. You learn about ACR Tasks support for base image updates later in this tutorial series.
ACR tasks automatically push successfully built images to your registry by default, allowing you to deploy them from your registry immediately.
In this section, you create an Azure Key Vault and service principal, then deploy the container to Azure Container Instances (ACI) using the service principal's credentials.
All production scenarios should use service principals to access an Azure container registry. Service principals allow you to provide role-based access control to your container images. For example, you can configure a service principal with pull-only access to a registry.
If you don't already have a vault in Azure Key Vault, create one with the Azure CLI using the following commands.
You now need to create a service principal and store its credentials in your key vault.
The --role argument in the preceding command configures the service principal with the acrpull role, which grants it pull-only access to the registry. To grant both push and pull access, change the --role argument to acrpush.
$ACR_NAME-pull-usr: The service principal ID, for use as the container registry username.
$ACR_NAME-pull-pwd: The service principal password, for use as the container registry password.
You can now reference these secrets by name when you or your applications and services pull images from the registry.
Now that the service principal credentials are stored as Azure Key Vault secrets, your applications and services can use them to access your private registry.
Execute the following az container create command to deploy a container instance. The command uses the service principal's credentials stored in Azure Key Vault to authenticate to your container registry.
Take note of the container's FQDN, you'll use it in the next section.
The az container attach output first displays the container's status as it pulls the image and starts, then binds your local console's STDOUT and STDERR to that of the container's.
(count: 1) (last timestamp: 2018-08-22 18:39:10+00:00) pulling image "myregistry.azurecr.io/helloacrtasks:v1"
(count: 1) (last timestamp: 2018-08-22 18:39:15+00:00) Successfully pulled image "myregistry.azurecr.io/helloacrtasks:v1"
When Server running at http://localhost:80 appears, navigate to the container's FQDN in your browser to see the running application. The FQDN should have been displayed in the output of the az container create command you executed in the previous section.
To detach your console from the container, hit Control+C.
To remove all resources you've created in this tutorial, including the container registry, key vault, and service principal, issue the following commands. These resources are used in the next tutorial in the series, however, so you might want to keep them if you move on directly to the next tutorial.

This game has a really cool intro sequence. I think it's one of the best I've seen on ST, even though it's choppy. It also has a very nice digi-tune score.
However, the game blows big time. I was unable to find what the goal of the game was. I just flew around endlessly in space until I died a bunch of times. If there's more to the game than just that, then I will definitely give Eagle's Rider another chance, because that intro really sets you up for excitement (that never materializes).

Elbert County Courthouse is a historic courthouse on Courthouse Square in downtown Elberton, Georgia, county seat of Elbert County, Georgia. The Romanesque Revival architecture building was designed by Reuben H. Hunt and constructed in 1894. It is featured on several postcards. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.

The brick exterior of the courthouse was painted white for several decades until the early 2000s when the exterior brick was repainted red to recreate the original appearance of red bricks.

My Mahone Bay Quilters Guild bee, the Cove Quilters have just completed our second challenge. We have been inspired by the Twelve x 12 Challenge that a group of art quilters have done (and I believe they are now on their second round), they have had an exhibition and have written a book about their experience. We are happy to just complete our challenges!
Our first challenge was just called "Birds", thanks to Sandra R, who was the instigator of this project. For this next challenge, Linda M selected about 15 bars of chocolate and types of candy, put them in a bag and we each drew one. This blind choice was to be our inspiration for the next challenge. We could use the name, the colours of the wrapper or the bar/candy itself to be the inspiration. There were some easy ones and some challenges for sure. The only criteria is that they have to be 12" square and finished. We are encouraged to try new techniques and to be challenged, create out of our box or comfort zone.
My challenge is "My Very Educated Mother..." (Just Showed Us Nine Planets). My chocolate bar was the ...Mars Bar! The sun and planets are fused, I used stitches on my sewing machine (Pfaff 2046) that I had never used before and I used beads for embellishment, something I had done very little of and I think I sewed each one on differently, Is there a "right" way?
All eight challenges. Can you guess the chocolate bars or candy?
Sandy T's challenge - Oh Henry!
Heather's challenge - Starburst - Heather also wrote about her challenge on her blog.
Our next theme is "paint". I chose a lot of different paint chips and put 2 in each envelope (I did 12 envelopes so that the last person would still have a choice). On the front of the envelope I wrote "house paint, painted lady and paint the town..." They can use one, two or all three of these themes and they must use the 2 colours of paint in their bloc. It will certainly be interesting to see what they come up with.
To get the afternoon off to a wonderful start Linda M served these beautiful strawberries dipped in chocolate. We finished the afternoon with Linda's wonderful Bailey's dessert. It was a sweet afternoon!


The third-annual house tour sponsored by the Allentown West Park Civic Association attracted more than 800 people yesterday on a sunny, mild afternoon.
"It was the largest turnout so far. Everything went very smoothly. We're very pleased. It helped everyone to experience some good Christmas spirit," said Thomas Yuracka, chairman of the event.
The tour, from 1 to 5 p.m., helped raise funds for the association. Tickets sold for $6 yesterday and $5 earlier.
Eight homes and two businesses were in the tour, including Yuracka's home at 1634 Turner St.
Other sites were 19 S. West St. (Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Brown); 124 N. 15th St. (Pat and Dr. John Ziegler); 1417 Linden St. (Laurie and attorney Joseph Fitzpatrick); 1407 Linden St. (the Rev. and Mrs. Brian Cloud); 1406 Linden St. (Beth Gainors); 1410 Linden St. (Debbie Dean); 121 N. 17th St. (Mr. and Mrs. Noel Peters); 1337 Hamilton St. (Robinson & Robinson) and 29 S. 15th St. (Hallmark House).
Margaret Bieber of Wescosville, who visited all of sites, said the Fitzpatrick home was extensively and creatively remodeled. The decor of most of the others, she said, retained original qualities.

iTEP in Northwest India
Educators in the northwest district of India use a variety of tools to help their students reach their goals, including big dreams like studying in an English-speaking country such as Canada or the United States. The newest tool in their toolbox: English proficiency tests by iTEP.
Arashdeep Singh,Ph.D., the founder and managing director of Modern Group of Colleges-MGC Campus and founder and CEO chairman of E-Emerge Global is a native of Punjab, India, and is iTEP's newest partner and currently the only iTEP partner in northwest India, a geographic region that covers five Indian states including the capital of New Delhi. Also a part of this partnership is E-Emerge Global, a consulting organization aimed at helping students study abroad.
"English is not only a necessity to study in countries like the U.S., Canada, England, Australia or New Zealand, but it's also a common business language", said Singh. To meet the needs of students and customers, his organizations are working to offer the entire suite of iTEP English fluency tests, but Singh predicts that iTEP Academic and iTEP Conversations will be the most popular.
"These exams are a user-friendly product that we find value in," Singh said. "Many students don't need a three-hour exam. With iTEP, the writing is concrete and the listening is very good. These tests cover what the universities want, and that's important."

Rodríguez argues "economic recovery" due to higher tax collection
Seniat data indicate that during these first four months of the year, Bs 5,458 million ($1,229 million) were collected, which represents an increase of 353% compared to last year's collection, which totaled Bs 1,203,937,418 (approximately $447,755,127). ), Rodriguez reported.
In a balance on the results of Holy Week in economic matters, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez revealed some data related to the context of the Venezuelan economy and used them to feed the narrative that Venezuela is going through a recovery process.
At the end of the first fortnight of April, the National Integrated Customs and Tax Administration Service (Seniat) had already prepared its cut for the first quarter of the year, with the data on the tax collection generated thanks to the Income Tax (ISLR) which was declared until March 30.
In this sense, the Seniat data indicate that during these first four months of the year Bs 5,458 million ($1,229 million) were collected, which represents an increase of 353% compared to last year's collection, which totaled Bs 1,203,937,418 ( approximately $447,755,127).
The official said that this improvement is unequivocal proof that Venezuela is on an economic growth path. However, it is important to keep in mind that the first quarter of 2021 was reduced by covid-19 and quarantine. Most of the year was spent with the 7+7 scheme, which was barely withdrawn in November.
This explains a higher economic activity in 2022 and therefore a more prominent tax collection, despite the fact that the numbers indicate that there was indeed a slight rebound in the economy by the end of 2021.
Rodríguez also revealed that for this quarter there was an increase of 28,000 new legal entities that declared and paid the Income Tax.
At first glance it might seem that there are more companies, but it is also related to the return to activities of companies that closed due to the pandemic and probably has to do with the emphasis that Chavismo put on paying ISLR this year, with serious threats inspection.
*Also read: Seniat urged taxpayers to declare the Income Tax 2021
Holy Week "successful", according to Rodríguez
Similarly, the vice president highlighted the supposed success of Holy Week, which showed a busier economic activity than usual, especially when compared to the last two years marked by covid-19.
Data from the Ministry of Tourism indicate that during the week 2.5 million vacationers were mobilized in the country and that hotel occupancy was, on average, 50%, despite the fact that in some states it exceeded 90%.
"The perception of having an economic improvement gave rise to Venezuelans moving to different tourist areas. Miranda, Vargas, Falcón, Anzoátegui, Nueva Esparta, Carabobo and Aragua had an excellent occupation", explained Minister Ali Padrón.
Rodríguez, for her part, is convinced that the greater mobilization in the major week was due to the fact that Venezuelans perceive a better economic condition in the country and hope that 2022 will be even better.

SSI Redcar: Minister rules out loan to ailing steel plant
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tees-34301975
Image caption The former Tata site in Redcar was mothballed for two years before the blast furnace was relit
The UK government is "limited" in what it can do to aid ailing Teesside steel firm SSI because of strict EU rules, business Minister Anna Soubry has said.
The company has "paused" production at its Redcar blast furnace blaming a slump in demand and rising costs.
SSI took over the former Tata Steel complex after it was mothballed in 2010 and employs almost 2,000 people.
Ms Soubry said EU rules meant state cash could not be directly used to support British steel production.
SSI chief operating officer Cornelius Louwrens called on the government to "take action rather than use just words" to help ensure the plant survives.
'Hands are tied'
He said: "Other European countries are finding ways to support their steel industries because they believe it is so important."
He urged ministers to approve the underwriting of "key projects" to enable it to secure commercial loans, as well as reduce business rates and ease restrictions linked to CO2 emissions.
But, Ms Soubry said: "There are extremely strict state aid rules, which especially apply to the steel industry, so we are limited as to what we can do.
"We can put money into things like research and development. But simply giving a loan or underwriting things, we cannot do.
"Things are extremely difficult at SSI, but our hands are tied. However, we will continue to work with the company and the trade unions, but the underlying problem in all of this is that there is an overproduction of steel across the world.
"The prime minister has said that this is a vital British industry and government will continue to do all it can to help and assist it."
Unions at the plant have described the company's decision as "devastating" and have sought urgent talks with management.

Date: 14th May 2015 at 9:20am
Since the new project began between McLaren and Honda, their two drivers have always remained positive.
Both Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso have said all the right things in the media and have generally appeared enthusiastic about the challenge they face.
The two former Formula One World Champions clearly had bought into the project of Honda returning to Formula One and partnering McLaren, rekindling an iconic partnership of the 1990's.
But the reality has been very different.
The car has performed badly, it has struggled with speed and reliability and has only really got past Manor Marussia on the grid.
In Spain, it looked like they were ready to take the next step to compete with the likes of Force India, but that hope didn't last long.
Fernando Alonso was unfortunate to retire with a rear brake failure after his own visor strip had caused it to over heat.
Jenson Button struggled throughout the Grand Prix and the 2009 Formula One World Champion was not in the mood to concentrate on the positives after the race.
'The first 30 laps were the scariest of my life, Every time I touched the throttle at any speed, the rear was just gone. It wasn't normal. In low-speed corners it was just slow, but high speed, very scary.' Button told the BBC.
The usually upbeat Button even questioned if McLaren could really break into the top ten at any stage this season to secure any world championship points.
'After today I don't expect points at all this year, but hopefully today was an off-day.
'It did not feel right. The weekend has been reasonably good for us, I have been happy with the way the car's been but in the race it was like flicking a switch.'


Branch or WAN architectures have barely changed for 15+ years despite business requirements changing significantly. Most branch offices still connect to the rest of the business and the Internet through an MPLS circuit.
Adding Internet connectivity can help, but it also adds security requirements, additional infrastructure and complexity.
SD-WAN with integrated (and software-defined) security can provide the best of both worlds – significantly more bandwidth at lower costs, with increased branch security and no additional complexity or appliance sprawl.

CDC extends US ban on cruise ships through September
In this March 31, 2020, file photo, cruise ships are docked at PortMiami in Miami. The cruise industry hopes to set sail soon, but with images of coronavirus-ravaged ships still fresh in many minds, there could be years of choppy water ahead. (Copyright 2020 The Associated Press. All rights reserved)
WASHINGTON – Federal health officials are extending the U.S. ban on cruise ships through the end of September as coronavirus infections rise in most U.S. states, including Florida.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that it was extending a no-sail order that had been scheduled to expire July 24.
In the order signed by CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, the agency said the cruise industry hasn't controlled transmission of the virus on its ships.
The CDC said it was concerned whether cruise ships operating now with reduced crews were complying with practices designed to prevent transmitting the virus. The CDC said its concerns "highlight the need for further action prior to resuming passenger operations."
The order covers ships that can carry 250 or more passengers. The CDC said cruise ships are more crowded than most urban settings, and even when only essential crew remains on board, the virus continues to spread.
Companies that belong to an industry trade group, the Cruise Lines International Association, had already canceled cruises until Sept. 15 because of ongoing discussions with federal officials over how to restart operations safely. Members of the group include Carnival Corp., Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
The trade group issued a statement saying it was committed to safety and would talk with CDC about appropriate steps to let cruises resume in the United States "when the time is right."
From March 1 through July 10, there have been nearly 3,000 cases of COVID-19 or similar illnesses and 34 deaths on cruise ships, according to the CDC. There have been 99 outbreaks covering 80% of the ships in U.S. waters, the CDC said. Nine ships are still dealing with outbreaks, the agency said.
Coast Guard figures show that on July 10 there were 14,702 crew members on board 67 ships.
Major cruise lines are trying to save cash and raise more money on the private credit markets to survive the pandemic. Carnival Corp. said last week that it expects to burn about $20 million a day in cash through the rest of this year.
Coronavirus infections are rising in 40 states, and daily deaths have climbed more than 20% from a week ago. Florida, where many cruises begin and end, reported nearly 14,000 new virus cases and set a single-day record of 156 deaths reported on Thursday, beating the previous high of 132 deaths reported Tuesday.

Ancient Flights!?
by Amish Shah
Is it possible that humans developed the technology to fly in early civilizations – or in civilizations that are now lost to history? Let's take a look at what some call the evidence – intriguing artifacts, carvings, inscriptions and legends – that they say point to the true record human of flight.
THE EGYPTIAN AIRPLANE
In 1898, a peculiar six-inch wooden object was found in a tomb at Saqquara, Egypt that dated back to about 200 BCE. The object had a body or fuselage, seven-inch wings that curved downward slightly, a fixed rudder and a tail. It looked very much like a modern airplane or glider. But since airplanes had not yet been invented in 1898 (never mind ancient Egypt), it was labeled as a model of bird and stored away in the basement of the Cairo museum.
The object was rediscovered many years later by Dr. Khalil Messiha, an authority on ancient models. According to Messiha and others who have studied the object, it has characteristics of very advanced aerodynamics, much like modern pusher-gliders that require very little power to stay aloft. The curved wings are today known as reversedihedral wings, which can attain great amounts of lift. A similar design is employed on the supersonic Concorde aircraft.
Was this just a child's toy? Or was it a scale model of an aircraft the Egyptians planned to build… or did build. If they did build a full-scale version of the aircraft, no evidence exists for it. No full-size airplanes have been found in any pharaoh's tomb to fly him to the land of the dead.
THE CARVINGS AT ABYDOS
Although no airplanes or airplane parts have ever been found from the ruins of ancient Egypt, is there corroborating evidence that they constructed aircraft?
Even more controversial than the model airplane are the enigmatic carvings found in the temple of Abydos, Egypt by Dr. Ruth Hover. Hover photographed a wall panel which had been revealed when a newer overlaying panel crumbled and fell off. The older panel beneath contained embossed images that resemble modern aircraft as seen in profile.
One bears a striking resemblance to a modern helicopter, while others could be interpreted as aircraft, hovercraft or even flying saucers. When the photos of these carvings first surfaced, it was assumed that they had been digitally altered to create a sensational hoax. And indeed some of them had been retouched to more clearly show aircraft-like features. But even unaltered photos seemed to show the very modern-looking figures.
CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN SHUTTLE
Egypt's isn't the only ancient civilization that has produced puzzling artifacts. A remarkable gold trinket estimated to be at least 1,000 years old – dating perhaps to between 500 and 800 AD – was found in Central America and along coastal areas of South America. If you weren't aware of its age, you might guess that it was a child's model of the Space Shuttle or a delta wing fighter aircraft.
When the artifact was discovered, archaeologists called it a zoomorph, or animal-shaped object. It resembles no known flying animal, however. It looks distinctly mechanical with its delta-shaped wings, stabilizer fins and rudder. It even has what looks like a pilot's seat in the right place. Experts in aerodynamics, however, contend that the wings are too far back for the object's center of gravity, and that the nose is not aerodynamically sound.
Whatever this object is supposed to be or represent, its remarkable resemblance to a modern aircraft or spacecraft is uncanny.
THE VAIMANIKA-SASTRA
Although the Chinese are credited with inventing rocketry, some people believe that an ancient text from India describes sophisticated air flight by human pilots. Written by Maharishi Bharadwaja in the 4th century BC (allegedly dictated while he was in a trance), the Vaimanika-sastra seems to talk about piloting some kind of aircraft – a vimana – with some astonishing capabilities.
Sounding like a manual for aerial battle (or instructions to a video game), the text claims to reveal 32 secrets of piloting a vimana, including:
Goodha – permits the pilot to make his vimana invisible to his enemies.
Paroksha – enables the pilot to paralyze other vimanas and put them out of action.
Pralaya – pushes an electrical force through the "five-limbed aerial tube" so that the pilot may "destroy everything as in a cataclysm."
Taara – provides the pilot with another means of avoiding contact with an enemy or hiding from observers: "By mixing with ethereal force 10 parts of air force, 7 parts of water force, and 16 parts of solar glow, and projecting it by means of the star-faced mirror through the frontal tube of the vimana, the appearance of a star-spangled sky is created."
Jalada roopa – instructs the pilot in the correct proportions of certain chemicals which will envelop the vimana and give it "the appearance of a cloud."
Was the Vaimanika-sastra simply imaginative writing, rich with symbolism and religious meaning? Or was it a description of ancient yet advanced technology that humankind was not to rediscover until the 20th century?

PawSox Heavy: 4.5.12 Pawtucket Red Sox v Buffalo Bisons - Junichi Tazawa did not wake up with a zit.
4.5.12 Pawtucket Red Sox v Buffalo Bisons - Junichi Tazawa did not wake up with a zit.
Pawtucket starting pitcher was Justin Germano, who pitched five decent-ish innings, going five and giving up a couple of solo home runs. One was hit by first baseman Josh Satin, the other by Val Pascucci, one of my favorite McCoy visitors. AND NOW I MUST PLAY THE VAL PASCUCCI SONG!
Opposing pitcher was Matt Harvey, not Ryan Harvey, so get it right. Harvey was the Mets #1 draft pick in 2010 and it was his triple-A debut. Harvey worked himself into the fifth inning, but only got one out before being replaced.
Pawtucket scored first in this game, when DH Mauro Gomez singled home Pedro Ciriaco in the third inning. Ciriaco had singled with one out, you guys. In fact, Ciriaco singled in four out of five at-bats. Jose Iglesias couldn't help but stare.
Top of the fourth, those two home runs by Buffalo put them ahead of Pawtucket. This brought me to my knees and I wept for Justin Germano for 2-3 minutes. But my joy and general good humour was restored in the bottom half of the fourth, when Will Middlebrooks led off with a double, made it to third on an error, and then scored when Ciriaco hit one of his little singles. Ciriaco's single to center also brought home right fielder Jason Repko, who had walked earlier. I wasn't going to mention that, but now I have to. 3-2 Red Sox!
Matt Harvey managed to get Ryan Lavarnway to fly out at the top of the fifth, but after he walked Mauro Gomez and Lars Anderson, he got the hook from Buffalo manager Wally Backman. That's BACKMAN. The scoreboard said 'Blackman', but what do all the people know?
Harvey was replaced by righty reliever Jeff Stevens. Middlebrooks singled to load the bases with one out. Che-Hsuan Lin popped up in the infield, but Jason Repko singled to third, scoring Gomez. 4-2!
And then, finally, the sixth inning rolled around and something exciting happened. Germano out, Junichi Tazawa in. And Tazawa looked great! He pitched a couple of innings, walked one guy and gave up a hit, but struck out four Bisons and generally looked commanding. I mean, I don't know anything about anything so please consider that when I tell you that Tazawa's off-speed stuff really dazzled. I can't wait to see how things go for him this season.
And that was it, right? Garrett Mock came in to pitch the last two innings and I expected the worst, considering his past performances/injuries/bad breath, but Mock did reasonably well. He even picked off Jordany Valdespin, who stole like a hundred bases last year.
1. In spite of having to wake up in what is essentially the dead of night to do this, I was psyched! I cannot wait to show you all my pitches. I developed quite a little cutter. Figuratively.
3. "Matt Harvey's AAA debut wasn't a good one, as he got roughed up for 4 runs in 4.1 innings to take the loss. Jordany Valdespin and Josh Satin had a hit each, Kirk Nieuwenhuis walked twice and stole a base." - MetsProspectHub blog. You know, I should just do game recaps like this. Think how much later I could sleep!
5. Will Middlebrooks went 3-4 with two doubles.
6. "Matt Harvey's first AAA start was just not very good: 4.1 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, 2 WP. He threw 57% (54/95) of his pitches for strikes." - Toby Hyde's Mets Minor League Blog. Geez, it wasn't like the Hindenburg at McCoy Stadium.
Okay, whoa, Mets fans. I know your misery and I feel for you. Mets fans are killer bloggers. But part of Harvey's problem was the Bisons defense, which was not doing him any favors. Did you not see the two errors? And it wasn't just the errors. The defense just looked clunky. SO THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE.
8. Can we talk about Buffalo reliever Daniel Herrera's appearance for a minute? I'm talking about his physical appearance. He looks weird. He looks like Chaka.
9. Conversely, I saw Fernando Cabrera, who is perhaps the hottest PawSox player of all time. A couple of seasons ago when he was with Pawtucket, I heard Steve Hyder say on the radiocast that he knew what Cabrera could be if he weren't a baseball player: "A movie star!" So it wasn't just me!
10. Buffalo outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis was probably called up after this game.
Tonight! Buffalo Mets again! Brandon Duckworth will take on righty Jeurys Familia in a bare-knuckle fight on the mound. My money's on blondie, but only because Buffalo's a baby deer on ice right now. Are you going? I'm going, even though I still haven't thawed out.

Europe's livestock and meat sector a key player in Farm-2-Fork
The Union of European Livestock and Meat Trades (UECBV) adopted recently at its AGM a clear position as a key actor of the Farm-to-Fork (F2F) strategy. While welcoming the European Commission's ambition to make the European food sector the global front-runner in terms of sustainability, the organisation published its position paper: "Europe's meat is already recognised as a world leader in terms of safety and quality. The European meat sector has the same ambition for sustainability", said Karsten Maier, Secretary General. The EU meat sector is already on its way to significant achievements in terms of the F2F strategy: the use of antibiotics has already been sharply reduced; animal welfare has steadily been improving; green house gas (GHG) emissions have been significantly lowered. The position published is an introduction to the strategy, which the sector intends to develop further:
· Mitigating the impact of meat on the environment & role of meat in healthy diets
· Enhancing the role of the meat industry in the communication with consumers
· Recognising the many services the livestock and meat sector render to society
· Highlighting the resilience of EU livestock and meat sector
· Discussing the tax treatment of our products
· Promoting the global transition
· Discussing Animal Welfare
· Promoting the economic and social value of the EU meat sector
· Calling for a harmonised EU approach to not disturb the internal market, and
· Making the UECBV fully available to cooperate with the EU.
Dimitris Kouretas, Professor of Physiology – Toxicology at the University of Thessaly & Member of the World Academy of Sciences
The Greek meat sector concurs
In addition, the Greek Interprofessional Meat Organization is not only supporting the UECBV strategy but has also published an open letter from Dimitris Kouretas, Professor of Physiology – Toxicology at the University of Thessaly & Member of the World Academy of Sciences, in which the esteemed academic is condemning the "unfounded", as he calls them, attacks on the meat industry.
"I would like to make a few remarks to restore the truth and emphasize that livestock farming is definitely not in its death throes, but is the only reliable source of high quality food and nutritional value for humans," explains Mr Kouretas.
"The opacity, for which so many people blame livestock farming, does not correspond to reality," continues to state, inter alia, the professor. "Instead, there are systems of traceability, surveillance and continuous monitoring in place. The ban on filming livestock facilities, which has been decided in Canada, for example, is not about livestock, but about protecting everyone's personal data."
Regarding meat alternatives, Mr Kouretas clarifies that they are present for many years now and have their own large market, but "they cannot replace food of animal origin for reasons that need no documentation —simply a thorough study of the evolutionary history of the human species can establish the fact. Furthermore, there is no 'war' between animal husbandry and plant substitutes. The European Court of Justice has banned 'misleading advertising' and consumer deception from substitute products, and as clearly stated in the decision, a product that does not contain the ingredients provided for the their preparation, in this case cow's or sheep's milk, cannot be called 'milk' or 'yogurt' for example.

Social media was first and foremost created to facilitate social interaction, connection and sharing. While just about any topic is up for discussion online, advertising and marketing content needs to be carefully adapted to fit a social media setting. You'll quickly lose the attention and trust of your audience if your posts consistently feel like a straight up advertisement. Keeping things casual and conversational is one of the easiest ways to avoid being perceived this way!
The caption of this Somersby Cider post on Facebook makes reference to the film Mean Girls. It's casual, conveys a sense of humour and makes it seem like the brand doesn't take itself too seriously. This kind of tone is far more likely to resonate with the young market on social media than a traditional advertisement.
Frank Body is a body scrub brand that simply nails their voice online. Their captions are all written in first person from the perspective of Frank, a persona based around the name of the product. The brand frequently has witty and cheeky captions that engage their audience in a way that is funny and feels miles away from an advertisement.
Hashtags are fantastic because they unite many voices around a certain topic, cause or brand and having an engaged community around your brand or product should be the goal of any successful social media marketer. A good hashtag is simple yet unique and makes reference to your brand in some way. Once you've decided on your hashtag, get into the habit of including it in all of your social media posts and encourage your audience to use it when they're posting about your brand too.
MasterChef Australia has a fantastic online community surrounding it. As you can see their hashtag #MasterChefAU is listed in their Twitter bio and it's included in each of their tweets. The hashtag is also very popular amongst viewers who use it to join in on the conversation about MasterChef on Twitter and Facebook while it's airing.
So you've made your account, you've filled it with great content and you've got a great hashtag that your audience is using. Another fantastic way to engage your audience and encourage a community around your product is to take advantage of user generated content on Instagram and Facebook. This works especially well for brands that have a product that customers love to talk about online, typically products that are trendy or visually appealing.
Here you can see Grill'd Burgers encouraging their audience to use the hashtag #grilld on their photos taken in store. From here the brand has reposted a photo that a customer has taken and tagged with #grilld. This is a great way for the brand to get content for their social media but the chance of being reposted by the brand also acts as an exciting incentive for customers to share their Grill'd photos online.
As a brand, don't forget that your hashtag isn't the only place to find content to repost. Be sure to also check Instagram and Facebook locations as your customers will often include these in their posts too!
Facebook (and soon Instagram) are geared with algorithms that favour viral and highly engaged with content. Instagram will be slightly different in that the content will still be from users you choose to follow as opposed to Facebook's newsfeed which shows a large amount of content that your friends have engaged with. In any event, as a business on social media you may become discouraged by the lack of engagement on some of your posts.
Having a good effective caption on an Instagram or Facebook can work wonders. Have you ever been scrolling through your feed and read a caption that has made you stop and think? Research has shown that asking your audience a simple yet meaningful question is one of the most effective ways to get them engaged without making them feel like they're looking at an ad.
You can use up to 30 hashtags per post on Instagram which pushes your content into a wider audience than your immediate followers. No one likes reading a caption that is filled with dozens of hashtags so one simple solution is to post your hashtags as a comment underneath the caption of your photo. This way you'll still get the reach and tap into new audiences by using hashtags, but you're sparing yourself from the unsightliness of a tag heavy caption.
With some of these tips you'll be on the path to creating a successful social media presence for your brand in no time! Remember, don't take your social media too seriously and have fun with it!


There are multiple ways to open PDF files on a computer or mobile device. We will go through different operating systems and platforms and describe how PDF file could be opened on each of them.
Starting with Windows 10 Microsoft introduced Microsoft Edge browser with PDF viewing functionality. If you download PDF file on Windows 10 and double click on it your file will open in Microsoft Edge.
Prior to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) Microsoft Edge PDF Viewer had navigation, performance problems and limited support of certain PDF features like annotations and interactive forms. But starting with version 1709 Microsoft significantly enhanced Microsoft Edge support for PDF by improving navigation, viewing and annotation support. Also support for fill in forms was added.
If you don't want to use default Microsoft Edge PDF Viewer you can install Adobe Acrobat Reader from https://get.adobe.com/reader/. If you are using Windows 10 on a computer with a touch interface you may like Microsoft Reader available from Microsoft Store. To install it just search for "Microsoft Reader" in Microsoft Store or Cortana.
If you are using Microsoft Windows 7 or earlier and need to view PDF files you should download Adobe Acrobat Reader from https://get.adobe.com/reader/. There are multiple other software packages which can view PDF files but Adobe Acrobat Reader is a de-facto time tested standard.
Mac OS X has built-in PDF file viewing functionality through the Preview app. To open PDF file with preview app you can either double click on the local file in Finder or click on the downloaded file in a browser. Preview app provides basic PDF viewing functionality but it will not display interactive content in PDF forms. In order to enable PDF interactive and dynamic features you need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader from https://get.adobe.com/reader/.
iOS allows you to view, mark up and sign a PDF file using Books application from Apple. This application is preinstalled on iOS devices. But if you accidentally deleted it or cannot find it on your device you can install it Apple Store. For information on how to export PDF files from email or webpage and view them on iOS device read https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205751.
Android does not provide PDF viewing functionality on install. You need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader app from Google Play Store for your Android device to be able to view PDF files.


A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket launched two U.S. Air Force satellites into orbit Saturday (April 14), setting the stage for improved military satellite communications and a new generation of space vehicle design.
The Atlas V rocket lifted off at 7:13 p.m. EDT (2313 GMT) from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The U.S. Air Force Space Command mission, AFSPC-11, features a geostationary communications satellite called the Continuous Broadcast Augmenting SATCOM (CBAS) and the experimental ESPA Augmented GEO Laboratory Experiment (EAGLE) demonstrator.
Beach-goers watch a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket launch into space carrying two military satellites on the AFSPC-11 mission. Liftoff occurred at 7:13 p.m. EDT on April 14, 2018.
Shortly after liftoff, ULA shut down its live video feed from the Atlas V at the request of the U.S. Air Force, a routine procedure for military launches. About five and a half hours after liftoff, the two satellites will begin to separate from their carrier rocket, according to a ULA mission description. Then, both satellites will be carried into a geosynchronous orbit 22,236 miles (35,786 km) above Earth, where they can keep watch over the same region of the planet.
The CBAS is designed to expand existing military satellite communications by relaying messages between senior military officers and commanders in combat, according to a statement from the United Launch Alliance (ULA) about the mission.
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying two military satellites on the AFSPC-11 mission launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base on April 14, 2018.
"The mission of CBAS is to augment existing military satellite communications capabilities and broadcast military data continuously through space-based, satellite communications relay links," according to the ULA statement.
While CBAS is the primary payload of the mission, mounted beneath the satellite was the EAGLE satellite.
EAGLE is an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) flight experiment program designed to "demonstrate a maneuverable ESPA based space vehicle design, which can accommodate up to six hosted or deployable payloads in GEO," according to the ULA statement. "EAGLE experiments will also provide new technologies to detect and identify system anomalies such as space weather events and characterize collision events due to micrometeorites."
One of EAGLE's payloads is Mycroft, a small satellite built by the Air Force Research Laboratory that is designed to fly away from its mothership to test technologies and techniques for space situational awareness.
"It will explore ways to enhance space object characterization and navigation capabilities," AFRL officials explained in a statement. To do that, Mycroft will detach from EAGLE and fly just over 21 miles away (35 kilometers), then work its way back to just within half a mile (1 km), according to a mission description.
Mycroft is expected to remain in orbit for up to 18 months. The satellite and its EAGLE mothership "will be disposed of in a safe orbit" at the end of their mission, according to AFRL officials.

South African beauty Nomzamo Mbatha is the official ambassador of the 2017 ESSENCE Festival Durban, taking place this fall from September 26 to October 1.
A rising starlet in the entertainment industry, the 27-year-old actress currently has a lead role on the popular S.A. soapie, Isibaya, and has starred in two films. She is also the co-host of BET A-List, a weekly lifestyle and entertainment magazine show on BET Africa. On the modeling front, she is the face of Neutrogena South Africa, a L'Oreal Paris hair advocate, and an ambassador for both Puma South Africa and Audi.
Simply put, she's poppin! Scroll through to get to know Nomzamo a little better with these 9 interesting facts.
"She was a woman of so much wisdom," Nomzamo told ESSENCE. "So much wit, joy and laughter and she acknowledged every human being that crossed her path. Just watching her being that way taught me to walk on the same path. She always said to me, 'Zama, abantu bafana njengeminwe esandleni sakho. Abalingani, abafani, kodwa kufanele ubaphathe ngendlela efanayo,' which means, "People are like the fingers on your hands, they may not be the same length or look the same but you must treat them equally."
In July of 2012 while still deciding what she was going to do with her life after college, a friend dared Nomzamo to enter the MTV VJ search. "I took the dare and before I knew it I was in the top three," she says. "I was on TV and asking friends, family and strangers to vote for me. I was like, 'This was supposed to be a joke, what is going on?'"
"I am an African girl and I am comfortable in being that girl," she says. "I want to showcase South African designers. I am all about cultivating and investing in the talent that we have in my country. My job is to change the narrative that Africa is only about HIV/Aids or poverty. I want the world to know that we are talented, we are fly, we are woke and informed, we can hold an intelligent conversation."
"When I experienced ESSENCE Festival in New Orleans for the first time this year I didn't expect that kind of energy," she says. "I thought, of course, there would be a lot of great music and we'd have fun, but it wasn't until day one where I saw so many happy black people who were just there to soak in all of this culture that I knew that this was something I wanted to be a part of back home."
"I have a big family and I don't come from a lineage of wealth, so the plan was to study accounting and become a chartered accountant because I had to be able to take care of my family," she says.
"Definitely a HUGE stage but I felt at home," Nomzamo said of the experience. "Great crowd and AMAZING atmosphere."

Economy dominating as French voters prepare to head to polls
April 11, 2012 · 10:05 AM CDT

France's presidential campaign officially began this week. Candidates can now hang posters, mail flyers, and run TV ads.
President Nicolas Sarkozy was trailing in polls behind Socialist candidate Francois Hollande all winter long. But then came the shootings in Toulouse last month.
A gunman killed seven people, including three children, before he himself was killed by police. Sarkozy was praised for his handling of the incident, and his popularity climbed in the polls.
"These attacks are odious," Sarkozy told the French in a national TV address, as police closed in on the Toulouse gunman. "This won't go unpunished. I assure you that we have mobilized all the means necessary to bring this criminal to justice."
Soon after, police killed the suspect, Mohammed Merah, in a shoot-out that followed an hours-long standoff with the self-proclaimed al-Qaeda follower. The nation was shocked and yet for all the trauma and terrorism overtones, security as an election issue is fading fast.
According to French journalist David Serveney, it's simply been overshadowed by the economic crisis.
"In the most recent poll," Serveney said, "the first priority for the French is the economic situation."
That's in part because French unemployment is running about 10 percent and will likely rise, because industrial output is slumping. When you talk elections to people on the streets of Paris, security doesn't even come up. Muriel Du Fresse, a 60-year-old former restaurant owner, said unemployment is her number one concern.
"There are more and more people on the street, while the rich just get richer," she said.
Hollande has tried to tap into that sentiment. He's promised to tax France's richest at a whopping 75 percent. Sarkozy has countered by vowing to flush out and tax French fortunes hidden in overseas safe havens.
But the president knows that voters largely blame him for the tough economic times, so he's trying to keep the terrorism threat front and center.
"The trauma of the shootings is profound in France," Sarkozy told French radio in the days following the ordeal. I don't want to make comparisons, he said, but "our horror is a little like that of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York."
Sarkozy was criticized for that comparison, but he shows no sign of backing off. His security platform includes tightening borders and terrorism laws, and deporting suspected foreign terrorists. Since the Toulouse shootings, he's ordered police to round up suspects around the country. More than 20 people have been arrested, and half of them charged for plotting against the republic.
But Gerard Davet, an investigative reporter with the daily paper Le Monde, said the sweeps are just an election ploy.
"In France we've have a law against terrorism that lets police arrest people before committing terrorism, and it's been used very often," Davet said. "That's why we haven't had an attack in 17 years. So we knew very well who these latest arrestees were. But the law wasn't used until after Toulouse."
Still, the raids not only help Sarkozy keep the spotlight off the economy, they also help fend off the spoiler candidate on the far right — Marine Le Pen of the National Front. The Front has a nationalistic, anti-immigrant platform. At the moment, Le Pen polls in third place.
Her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, famously made it to the presidential runoff in the 2002 elections, shocking France's left. But this year the far left has its own dark horse: Jean-Luc Melonchon, a talented orator who drew some 20,000 people to a recent Paris rally. He's promised to create more state jobs, not cut them, lower the retirement age, punish banks and ditch austerity.
The extreme left and extreme right have both gained traction from the economic crisis. But neither candidate looks strong enough to make it to France's second round of voting in May. That would likely leave Sarkozy and Hollande in a run-off, and polls suggest Hollande would win — as long as the economy remains the main issue.
On the streets of Paris, guys like this business manager Jean-Michel Soriano give the impression that the economy will, in fact, dominate the race.
"You know what France's problem is?" Soriano said. "I'll tell you. It's our vacations in October, Christmas, February, and April; our long weekends, our 35-hour work week; the fact that 80 percent of the French want to be civil servants."
The Chinese work day and night and we just want more vacation time, he added. "We're hiding our heads in the sand."

As is our wont we had an hour or so on Winter Hill and with not entertaining until Boxing Day we managed to get to the pub as well – about perfect. Up from Walker Fold through low drifting clouds only to see clouds pretty firmly settled on the summit. No views from the top today then.


Some pet care may seem self-evident, but we still like to remind everybody of the basics when it is summertime and you have other things on your mind.
Never leave a dog or cat in a hot car. Just like with children, leaving your pet in a hot car can quickly have consequences for the animal.
Make sure you pets have LOTS OF WATER available. Dogs don't sweat, so make sure they have access to plenty of water.
Change up your routine. Temperatures have been reaching their hottest right at 5:00pm. Take advantage of the cool early morning. Even with the heat, we've been cooling down at night. During the hottest parts of the year, try walking your dogs in the morning.
Your pet can become very distressed when fireworks and people cause a commotion. If you are entertaining and or celebrating with fireworks this Summer, don't forget about your furry friends.
Your pet needs a quiet, safe place to be during the festivities. Make them comfortable with some extra pillows or blankets to help reduce the sound around them. If this is not possible, look into letting your pet stay elsewhere during your activities. Let them stay with a friend or think about boarding your dog for the night.
Keep you dog out of the line of fire. It will be your dogs first instinct to chase after fast moving objects. It's best to keep your dog away from ALL FIREWORKS activities.
WATER – We can't stress enough, keep your pets hydrated while they are outside in the heat enjoying the day with you.

Б92 је медијска кућа која обухвата радијску продукцију, ТВ продукцију (из које је касније настала ТВ Б92), издавачку делатност (часописе, књиге, компакт-дискове), културни центар "Рекс", обезбеђивање услуга, интернета и веб-портал.

Историја
 Радио Б92 основан је 15. маја 1989. године, а са радом је престао 9. јула 2015. године. Од тог датума, на његовој фреквенцији може се чути само музика док су сви запослени на радију отпуштени.
 Самиздат Б92 је издавачка кућа.
 Б92 нет је од 1996. године један од најпопуларнијих интернет портала на српском језику.
 ТВ Б92 почела је са радом 6. октобра 2000. године.
 Б92 инфо почела је са радом 7. априла 2008. године, а угашена 18. децембра 2016. године.
 ТВ Б92 11. септембра 2017. мења име у О2. ТВ, укључујући и нови логотип и релоцирање сајта телевизије на ново име домена. Сам бренд Б92 и сајт b92.net нису се променили.

Крајем 2014. године телевизија се сели из зграде у Булевару Зорана Ђинђића у новоизграђено крило студијског и пословног комплекса Прве телевизије на адреси Ауто-пут за Загреб 22. Дана 3. новембра 2014. Б92 почиње са емитовањем програма у формату слике 16:9. Отад се познате Вести Б92 емитују из студија величине 400 квадратних метара и са редизајнираном сценографијом (централно издање се сада емитује у новом термину од 20 часова).

У септембру 2015. године Антена група је преузела већински удео власништва Б92.

Након вишегодишњих (што кадровских, што програмских) редукција информативног програма ове куће, која је некада управо по томе била позната, у марту 2017. године ова кућа производи само поподневне (16.00 ч) и вечерње (20.00 ч) вести, по пола сата и једне и друге. Кадровска смањења се огледају у томе што је велики број новинара и истакнутих лица Б92 отишао са ње (углавном на кабловски информативни канал Н1) па је руководство малтене стопило редакције Прве и Б92. Остатак програма није остао поштеђен, па данас ТВ Б92 производи с потешкоћама. Може се истаћи популарна сатирична емисија 24 минута са Зораном Кесићем, која трпи дугачке паузе (јануар—март, јул—октобар).

Дана 11. септембра 2017. године, телевизија Б92 трансформисана је у О2 телевизију док се сама фирма и даље звала Телевизија Б92 д.о.о. све до фебруара 2018. пошто се лиценца за емитовање до тада водила на исту.

Q: To show correctly PRIMARY KEY in Postgres Which one of the following ways would you use in declaring Primary Keys by Postgres?
#1
CREATE TABLE user(
    user_id PRIMARY KEY,
    ...
)

#2
CREATE TABLE user(
    user_id NOT NULL,
    ...
    CONSTRAINT user_pk PRIMARY KEY(user_id);
)

A: I would use method #1.

*

*The indication of which column is the primary key is kept closer to the actual column definition

*You don't have to think up a name for the constraint; a name will be automatically generated

One reason to use method #2 is if your primary key were to span more than one column. In that case, method #1 won't work because it only supports a single column primary key.
