Four years ago I was working at a Montessori school. In the kitchen during snack one day (the school lived inside a sweet little house), I was being me… getting excited about something… I imagine there was lots of energy and a sense of awe in my expression (wink).
A nine year old turns to me, "Ashley, you need a t-shirt that says E A S I L Y A M A Z E D!" I was honored. Inspired. And EasilyAmazed was born! Four years ago today, this webl came into being.
It's amazing to look back through the archives and watch some of the flow of my own coming into being; my words, thoughts and methods of expression evolving. Growth is such a magical and fascinating thing.
I stumbled upon this birthday through a Thanksgiving morning memory. I felt myself sitting in my dad's office in Atlanta on one Thanksgiving morning, feeling the peace of a simple morning of celebration, giving thanks and family. I recalled writing one of my first blog entries. In looking back to that entry, I found that today is the actual birth day. I later read the post from EasilyAmazed's first birthday. With both offerings, my heart purred with resonance, gratitude and love. Some things never change!
I feel thankful for the opportunity to not only see my growth but to also recognize the essential core elements of my being that show up again and again, moment after moment. I feel a deep gratitude for the ways in which this place of expression and sharing has helped me to listen deeper and deeper into my calling here on this earth, honoring a dedication to sharing with love, curiosity and beauty.
This sacred space continues to be a mystery to me and a gift in so many ways. The most valuable treasure is the presence of you, those who interact here (in visible and invisible ways). I rest in a breath of awe… this inner-net is quite a magical place.
Happy thanks-giving to all who like to honor giving thanks and Happy Birthday, Easily Amazed!

A solution to Boot Camp partition error: "Files cannot be moved"
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format the disk as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
Note that I said this is a possible solution. That means that this may not work for you. Most of the solutions I found on the Internet point to using defrag tools like iDefrag. I didn't want to go that way cause I really don't have the money to buy those tools.
Clean up the hard drive. Move large files to an external backup disk. There are tools like OmniDiskSweeper to that can help in finding large files.
Choose Utilities > Disk Utility in the menu and Repair the hard drive.
Restart and try partitioning using Boot Camp again.
I'm not ultimately sure if Step 1 is really required but I don't have time to test it again.

An August Tribute: "The Avengers" and Deconstructing Bond…
Posted on April 22, 2019 by Darren
This Saturday, I'll be discussing The Avengers on The 250, the weekly podcast that I co-host discussing the IMDb's Top 250 Movies of All-Time. However, I had some thoughts on the film that I wanted to jot down first.
This is not a defense of The Avengers.
There is no defending The Avengers. The film is legendary and spectacular failure. There is no belated reclamation project under way, no attempt to salvage its reputation twenty-odd years after it landed in a smoking crater. The film's production history is storied, and disastrous. The film was subject to internal power struggles within Warner Brothers, falling between a changing of the guard and sabotaged at a test screening with a hostile audience. Twenty-five minutes of the film were unceremoniously cut out, and the score was radically rewritten. The result is monstrous.
More than that, there is little to indicate that The Avengers could ever have been a good film, even its pristine and uncut state. The flaws with the movie run deeper than those definable absences. The two leads share no chemistry, despite the fact that the film hinges on their dynamic. The plot is complete nonsense, haunted by the shadow of countless rewrites rather than simply lost in the edit. The film's surrealism is halfhearted rather than committed, flirting with deranged brilliance but always landing somewhere on the uncomfortable side of mere camp. The Avengers is bad.
And, yet, in spite of all that, something interesting beats at the heart of The Avengers. Part of this is a result of the movie's intrinsic late-nineties-ness, the way that it captures the mood of that moment. It is very much a post-Cold War story, its stakes framed in environmental terms that reflect the anxieties of the cultural moment. (Remember when mankind healed the hole in the ozone layer?) Similarly, the movie's flirtation with the surreal and the notion of collapsing reality echoes (better) films like The Truman Show or The Matrix or Dark City or eXistenz or Fight Club.
However, the most interesting aspect of the film remains its central performance from Sean Connery. At the time, Connery had just successfully reinvented himself as a box office draw in the late nineties, building off the success of his collaboration with Michael Bay and Nicolas Cage in The Rock. The late nineties were were busy time for Connery, with projects including Entrapment, Playing by Heart and Finding Forrester. The actor was undergoing what might be characterised today as a "Conneraissance."
In the middle of that "Conneraissance", there is something rather strange about The Avengers, in large part because it's a performance that exists in dialogue with his most iconic role. Of course, there's no getting around Connery's time as James Bond. The Rock rather heavily implies that Connery's character was a version of James Bond arrested around the time of Diamonds are Forever. However, The Avengers goes one step further. The Avengers doesn't just cast Sean Connery as a Bond villain. The Avengers casts Sean Connery as James Bond as a Bond villain.
There are obvious parallels between The Avengers and the James Bond franchise. Both are British institutions rooted in the sixties, focusing on debonair gentlemen spies and beautiful female companions. There are even several overt points of overlap. Honour Blackman was both the first female lead of The Avengers and an iconic Bond girl in Goldfinger. Diana Rigg succeeded Honour Blackman as the female lead in The Avengers and then played an iconic Bond girl in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Patrick Macnee had to wait until View to a Kill to crossover.
More to the point, any villain in a feature film adaptation of The Avengers was going to invite parallels to a villain in the James Bond franchise. After all, that as veyr much the cultural frame of reference for that sort of cinematic supervillain. Comic book movies had yet to really take off as action movies, outside of Richard Donner's Superman or Tim Burton's Batman, so any villain threatening the leaders of the free world with his weather-changing machine was going to come across as a spirtual successor to Blofeld or Scaramanga or Zorin.
However, the characterisation of August de Wynter is consciously designed to riff on the iconography of the classic Bond villain. De Wynter is an established society type, which allows him to trade witty repartee with his opponents before trading blows. De Wynter has a mostly-silent gimmick henchman played by Eddie Izzard, even if that henchman is mostly crap. De Wynter has access to science-fiction technology that allows him to hold the world ransom, like any number of classic James Bond villains. Indeed, Francisco Scaramanga was even a pseudo-environmentalist.
These tropes and conventions would have already been in the public consciousness. When The Avengers was released, the James Bond franchise was undergoing a revival with Pierce Brosnan taking up the role of the iconic secret agent. GoldenEye found the character facing off against both the challenges of the post-Cold War era and a supervillain who had weaponised a satellite to bring death from above. Even ignoring Brosnan, there were a rake of nineties parodies of the super-spy; Spy Hard!, Austin Powers, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
De Wynter is recognisable as an exaggerated parody of the archetypal Bond villain. Even his interest in horticulture mirrors the obsession of Hugo Drax in Moonraker. However, the film is having a bit of fun with this. Generally speaking, James Bond films tend to exaggerate the foreign "otherness" of villains; the generic European Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the Aryan Max Zorin, the French Hugo Drax, the Germanic Auric Goldfinger, even the Caribbean Kananga. However, the beauty of de Wynter is that he is cast as a British Bond villain. Specifically, a Scottish Bond villain.
The Avengers ensures that the audience never forgets that Connery is a Scottish actor, as if that were possible given his accent and his celebrity. When de Wynter threatens the world assembly with his weather-changing technology, he does so clad in a kilt. When it comes time to add a theatrical flourish at the end of his statement, he hits a giant globe as if it were a golf ball. De Wynter is a broad caricature of Scottishness, in the same way that other Bond villains have exaggerated their own national stereotypes.
However, there is an additional edge to Connery's performance in The Avengers. De Wynter isn't just another stock Bond villain. There is a very tangible sense in which Connery has been asked to play Bond again. (In this context, it is worth noting that the actor filmed a video in character for Ralph Fiennes' birthday during the production of the film.) De Wynter might have a number of obvious markers of a Bond villain, but he also shares a lot of traits with Bond himself. In a direct allusion to Goldfinger, the character is even featured playing croquet with Father at one point.
The most superficial point of comparison might be his love of sleazy wordplay. De Wynter is introduced tending to his guardian, receiving a visit from Emma Peel. "Take India," he advises her. "You can have a good ten inches overnight there. You know, one should never fear being wet." Connery is having a great deal of fun with this sort of dialogue, and his delivery inevitably calls to mind some of his own particularly point double entendres in films like Goldfinger.
However, the comparisons become a lot more pointed when it comes to De Wynter's strange fascination with Peel. The Avengers is a deeply creepy movie, in ways that the script never seems quite able to process. There is a sense in which the movie's approach to Peel is just casual misogyny, similar to the manner in which Mission: Impossible II treats the character of Nyah Hall. Certainly, the way that the camera approaches Uma Thurman in that iconic catsuit suggests that the audience is intended to leer over her as much as de Wynter does.
Accepting that this may be an overly generous interpretation of general perviness on the part of the film, there is something deeply uncomfortable in de Wynter's attitude towards women that runs deeper than the sort of casual misanthropy associated with blockbuster villains. De Wynter is aggressively and horrifying fixated on Peel. In a touch that is never actually explained in the movie, a touch that makes the movie both worse and creepier, de Wynter is introduced playing a gigantic organ under a portrait of Peel. His prior relationship to her is never articulated.
At one point in the film, de Wynter has a drugged and unconscious Peel at his mercy. His intentions towards the unconscious young woman are very clear, even in the context of what was supposed to be a family-friendly mid-summer blockbuster. He dances with her, draping her over the bed. He removes a band from around her neck. He caresses her face. He leans in to kiss her, only to be interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. It is a surprisingly graphic scene in a film that is consciously aiming for camp absurdity.
Even in the realm of camp absurdity, there is something deeply uncomfortable about de Wynter's obsession with Peel. Before the start of the film, he has somehow created a perfect duplicate of Peel. Again, the movie is pointedly abstract in terms of explaining this. Is she a robot or a clone? Why Peel of all people? Given how de Wynter attempted to abuse Peel, what has he done to her doppelganger? Perhaps it is a good thing that the film does not go into any depth on this, given the obvious implications.
Again, one must be careful not to construct anything that sounds too much like a defense of The Avengers. After all, these ambiguities are more likely to be a result of incompetence than of some clever artistic design. After all, there is a strange moment when Peel seems almost moved by the death of her murderous copy. Steed asks her what happened to her counterpart, and Peel responds, "Dispatched, I think. Sad, in a way." The film never earns that "sad, in a way." The film has never even acknowledged the idea of the duplicate Peel having a personality or autonomy.
As with the wordplay, there is a sense in which de Wynter is a dark and cynical reflection of the character of James Bond. In particular, a reflection on the character's long-standing sexual politics. As played by Sean Connery, the iconic spy was not particularly attuned to issues like consent or choice. In Thunderball, he blackmails a nurse into sleeping with him by threatening to have her fired if she refuses. In Goldfinger, he sabotages Jill Masterson's work in a way that leads to her murder by her employer before forcing Pussy Galore in the hay. (In the novel, she's explicitly lesbian.)
To be fair, these criticism are hardly new, and certainly weren't when The Avengers decided to cast a former James Bond as a would-be rapist super villain. GoldenEye made a point to call out the character as a "sexist misogynist dinosaur" and subsequent films in the franchise have (to varying degrees) grappled with issues such as the sexual agency of the female lead. Austin Powers made a point to emphasise how out of touch its lead character was with contemporary culture, albeit in a broadly affectionate way.
That said, there is a lot of power in using Sean Connery to make this point, in having Sean Connery indulge in the sort of strong-arm sexual aggression long associated with James Bond, while casting him explicitly as the villain and making these scenes as creepy as possible. While The Avengers arguably objectifies Uma Thurman as readily as de Wynter objectifies Peel, with pans over her catsuit-clad body, there's no denying that the sequences with de Wynter are meant to be unsettling rather than titilating; Peels eyes open, but her head bobs helplessly. It's horrifying.
The Avengers is a bad film, but it is often bad in interesting ways. Its decision to cast Sean Connery as James Bond as a James Bond villain is flawed and clumsy, even by the standards of the film, but it is an interesting and provocative choice.

Nov 27, 2012· Even gold miners who still use mercury to separate gold from ore use borax at the end of the process to make gold shiny, said Budi.
20 Mule Team Borax was first discovered in Tibet, and was imported via the Silk Road to Arabia around 8AD. 20 Mule Team Borax is used in detergents, cosmetics, pottery, metallurgy...All sorts of things! 20 Mule Team Borax was used in the Philippines in the 1900s to extract gold from mines.
Jun 29, 2014· This vid is a touch confusing as the Borax is'nt as far as I can see doing any extracting until smelting, seems to be crushed, milled, then sluiced and panned out, then Borax just added to the final concentrate for smelting. I guess in the final concentrate the Borax may help release the Gold out of the heavies better than Mercury can.
Dec 18, 2017· Gold Extraction / Mining Gold.info. Gold mining underground and the extraction of gold A gold bar being cast The borax process is also an environmentally-friendly method of extracting gold.
Replacing mercury with borax in small-scale miners' gold extraction . Background Thousands of small-scale miners in developing countries use mercury for extraction of gold in the so-called amalgamation process. Tons of mercury is released into the environment where it causes long term health hazards.
Oct 30, 2015· Borax is not used to catch or gather gold but is a fluxing agent when you melt gold. It acts as a molten cap on the melt and can collect some impurities though straight borax is best on clean gold.
In artisanal gold mining, the borax method is sometimes used as a substitute for toxic mercury in the gold extraction process. Borax was reportedly used by gold miners in parts of the Philippines in the 1900s.Borax was first discovered in dry lake beds in Tibet and was imported via the Silk Road to the Arabian Peninsula in the 8th Century AD.
The Borax Method Not only did the Benguet SSM introduce the borax method of gold extraction as a tool. The contents of gold and mercury shows that there is a major loss of precious metal and a large source of mercury pollution due to inefficient processing. and high-grade tailings were discarded.
About thirty years ago a small-scale gold miner in Benguet province of Philippines found an alternative to gold extraction using mercury. He had probably watched a chemist at a commercial gold mine testing gold ore by smelting crushed and milled ore with borax whereby a small pellet of gold was produced.

The miners grind gold ore together with mercury in order to recover the fine gold grains. The gold amalgam is burned whereby the mercury evaporates and gold is left behind.
Its use in gold extraction is environmental benign. The basic principle behind the method is that borax reduces the melting point of all minerals, including gold. The melting point of gold is 1063ºC, which is a much higher temperature than can be obtained by inexpensive burners.
Nov 12, 2015· But Borax wasn't used to extract the gold, not at any point, extraction was done by trammel and panning so far as I can tell, but then again I have only read about gold extraction and watched video's, so far to date I have only recovered and refined.
Small-scale gold mining is the largest anthropogenic contributor of mercury pollution on planet Earth. The miners grind gold ore together with mercury in order to recover the fine gold grains. The gold amalgam is burned whereby the mercury evaporates and gold is left behind.
The method has been named borax method, but a more appropriate name is mercury-free gold extraction, since borax is only used in the final step of the processing. The crushed gold ore is let into a tub where first separation of very fine grained gold is released to the chute where a layer of cloth captures the fine gold.

Borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O) is a component of many detergents. Its use in gold extraction is environmental benign. The basic principle behind the method is that borax reduces the melting point of all minerals, including gold. The melting point of gold is 1063ºC, which is a much higher temperature than can be obtained by inexpensive burners.
In gold refinement, Dehybor anhydrous borax is used in flux formulations to dissolve metal oxides and as a flux in gold assaying. The addition of Dehybor to the smelt is generally 10-50% of total smelt weight, depending on the process.
With some borax, heat, and a little know-how, its possible to extract pure gold from a sample of ore. This is because using borax as the flux reduces the melting point of all the elements in a piece of ore, including gold.
The Borax Method Not only did the Benguet SSM introduce the borax method of gold extraction as a tool, they also fine-tuned each step of the process from crushed ore to gold pellet. Their method is as follows:The first step after crushing the ore is milling.

Uganda: two new plants in Tororo by 2018
After previously only being home to one cement plant (Tororo Cement), 2018 will see Tororo District welcome at least two new plants.
By the end of 2017, Simba Cement of Kenya will have completed a grinding plant on the Tororo-Mbale highway. Simba Cement's new plant will have the capabilities to produce in excess of 1Mta.
Hardly a kilometre from the site, Hima Cement is expected to have started production on its US$40m (UGS144bn) plant by June 2018, which will see Hima's production capacity increase from 0.9Mta to 1.9Mta.
Speaking about the development, Tororo Cement Process Manager, Peter Karanja, said: "We are the market leaders controlling 60 per cent of the market share. We are also setting up a bigger plant that will double our production." Tororo Cement will be expanding its own capacity in the area with an investment valued at US$50m, raising capacity from 1.8Mta to 3Mta.
According to Daniel Petterson, CEO of Hima Cement, Tororo presents an opportunity for better access to limestone. The access to limestone is mainly in Moroto, where Hima is exploring. By 2018 the company expects to have determined the quantity of limestone and secure mining lease.
Additionally, the northeastern part of Uganda is one of the remaining areas in the country with viable limestone deposits, which may offer some explanation for the expansion drive around Tororo.
"The construction sector in Uganda is rebounding as shown by the sustained increase in demand for cement; currently at 10 per cent per year. Our capacity expansion drive aims at meeting this demand for not only within Uganda but the regional market as well," Mr Petterson said.
Uganda's domestic consumption of cement is estimated at 2.2Mt. However, the existing factory capacity is about 2.6Mt. Another 100,000t is imported from Kenya, United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia, among others.
According to Ugandan State Minister for Industry, Michael Werikhe, the increased expansion of factories presents opportunities for Uganda to export to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and South Sudan. The increased production levels should also facilitate the reduction in cement prices.
"Last year we released a rise in prices of cement driven by reduced production by the factories. With the increased factories and expansion, we hope there will be a reduction in prices of cement that will translate into lower costs of construction," said Peter Lokeris, the State Minister for Minerals.

Sourcepoint Launches 'Privacy Lens,' to Drive Privacy-First Advertising Transactions
The platform allows advertisers to identify media inventory suppliers that meet their quality standards for consumer privacy
NEW YORK and LONDON – 1 MARCH 2021: Sourcepoint, the data privacy software company of record for the digital marketing ecosystem, today announces the launch of Privacy Lens to provide compliance and data ethics visibility for advertisers. The first privacy measurement and analytics platform in the market, Privacy Lens allows advertisers to set their own unique data privacy parameters and evaluate inventory sources to ensure that their messages appear only in environments that they have deemed compliant, brand safe, and suitable.
Just as viewability and brand safety tools provided advertisers with much needed insights into the effectiveness and suitability of their campaigns, Privacy Lens allows brands to build consumer trust and optimize spend. Three of the top five US media agency holding companies have partnered with Sourcepoint to provide greater visibility into the quality of their media buys.
"Sourcepoint is proud to launch a measurement and analytics platform that allows media sellers and media buyers to benefit from a shared commitment to consumer privacy," said Ben Barokas, Sourcepoint Co-Founder and CEO. "By aligning incentives for both buyers and sellers, Privacy Lens improves privacy standards for the entire ecosystem. Privacy-conscious brands will be repaid with consumer trust and higher purchase intent, and outstanding media sellers will be compensated accordingly."
As privacy regulations like CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, and LGPD (Brazil) come into force across the globe, it has become more important than ever for brands to ensure high-quality privacy compliant experiences across all of their digital marketing channels — mobile app, web, and OTT/CTV. Many brands have invested in privacy and digital citizenship initiatives on their own channels, but until now, have lacked a way to evaluate the privacy standards of advertising channels, exposing them to significant regulatory and reputational risk. Sourcepoint's Privacy Lens uses proprietary scanning technology to measure the performance of media inventory suppliers against a growing set of privacy compliance and digital citizenship rules, in real time.
These market-relevant rules evaluate degrees of compliance with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, and other global regulations, in addition to adherence with various industry standards and best practices. Advertisers can select rules to create custom standards informed by their own organization's privacy strategy and risk profile. Privacy Lens also offers advertisers the ability to optimize their ad spend by targeting high-performing audiences who have agreed to receive personalized advertising.
Privacy Lens allows publishers to understand how buyers are evaluating the privacy experiences on their properties. Media sellers will be able to visualize the potential revenue impact of different Privacy Lens rules, and use that data to optimize their privacy program to drive incremental revenue. These insights are critical in order for publishers to stay abreast of evolving standards, and continue to improve their consumer privacy experiences while maximizing monetization.
In addition to evaluating regulatory compliance, Privacy Lens launches with a robust set of rules that check for adherence with the IAB's Transparency & Consent Framework, the IAB CCPA Compliance Framework, as well as markers of strong digital citizenship, such as the absence of intrusive identifying techniques (i.e., device fingerprinting), user-friendly opt-out workflows, or data breach risk (i.e., identifiers shared without adequate hashing/encryption in the bid requests).
"In partnering with Sourcepoint, OMG is working to offer an innovative solution to a complex problem in data ethics that our brands are facing," Megan Pagliuca, Chief Media & Data Officer at Omnicom Media Group commented. "Privacy Lens will allow OMG to expand our inventory graph to curate inventory sources that have the strongest and most transparent relationship with their consumers."

A few years ago I shared the article Leaving Sunday Behind which looked at lagging church attendance and the role of the home and the church in reaching families struck a chord with many of my readers. It does beg the question, if families are not regularly attending corporate worship together anymore, where are they?
As Chesterton says, when we cease to worship God, we don't cease to worship; rather we replace the object of our worship with something else.
So, we must ask, what is being worshiped today?
A survey done by Faith Communities Today found these top three reasons cited by families regarding the demands on their time that conflicted with regular church attendance.
So it's not that the families were just sitting at home not doing anything, but they had made the decision to choose other demands on their time over attending church on Sunday morning and Wednesday night.
As parents, this should give us pause and help us consider; what are we teaching our children to worship? If these activities that pull families away from church truly are important to individual families, then as Christians it should also be our goal to find alternatives time to commit to corporate worship and fellowship with other believers.
As ministers, we need to recognize that in a battle against a changing culture, we are going to lose if we don't recognize that culture is changing.
The constraints of traditional service times will increasingly become inadequate for reaching families in our church and new families we desire to share God's love with.
We can spend time lamenting this change and dissecting why it happened and if it's good or bad or neutral, or we can just acknowledge that it is, and we can begin to look for ways to address it head on.
If we use the following findings from Barna Research Group as a frame for how families in our cultures operate, perhaps we can consider some innovative ways to connect the church with the home.
Parents are just as dependent on technology as are teens and tweens.
Most family members, even parents, feel that technology has been a positive influence on their families.
Very few adults or youth take substantial breaks from technology.
And what about the study that found when 1,500 kids were asked what makes a happy family they responded, "Doing things together"? Contrast this with what we traditionally do in our church settings with separate children, youth, adult, and senior adult ministries.
Finally consider another study from Barna that asked self-identified Christians why they chose not to attend church where 40% responded "I find God elsewhere" and 35% said "Church is not relevant to me personally." Additionally, in the past "regular attendance" was defined as those who attended church three or more weekends a month but now families that show up once every 4-6 weeks consider themselves regular attenders.
A lot of people have come up with a lot of ways to address these changing trends. May I offer just this suggestion?
Let us shift of vision from one of attraction to one of "going and making disciples".
Let's refocus faith formation at home and building relationships between generations.
Let's concentrate on lifting Jesus up so all may be drawn to Him, not necessarily our brand, our building, or our band.
Let's meet families where they are and bring the church to the world instead of trying to get the world to accommodate the church.
And may we all live lives of worship, inside and outside of the building we call church.

New U.S. Navy Warships Could Better Match Up With Russia and China

U.S. U.S. military U.S. Navy Navy Military
The U.S. Navy is considering boosting the offensive and defensive capabilities of its next generation of warships, a major overhaul that would include installing more missiles, upgrading armor and adding a high-tech sensor networking system.
A research group called the Requirement Evaluation Team is meeting to determine how a new class of frigates could best be used to protect the Navy's smaller Combat Force Logistics ships, which transport fuel, ammunition and other supplies, Defense News reported. A proposal is expected to be submitted by May, and the Navy said it planned to acquire its first new frigate by 2020. The last frigate used for more than ceremonial purposes was decommissioned in 2015.

Potential ballistic upgrades from the last active frigates include an additional eight Block 2 Evolved Seasparrow Missiles or eight Standard-Missile 2's, which have been used to arm the Navy's advanced Aegis combat system. If the research team chooses to go with the Standard-Missile 2's, the new frigates may also get Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar, a feature already seen on Ford-class aircraft carriers. In order to increase the ships' ability to communicate with other Navy vessels and personnel and to bolster defenses against hostile electronic jamming, the team has proposed that the Navy install the Cooperative Engagement Capability sensor networking system, which combines data from other vessels and installations to form an integrated fire control capability.
U.S. Navy Considers a More Powerful Frigate | @CavasShips @defense_news https://t.co/9vU8n0pEOU pic.twitter.com/lVAr3AdnYW
— RealClearDefense (@RCDefense) April 10, 2017
The new design would put the ships more in line with the FFG 7 Oliver Hazard Perry guided-missile frigates, introduced in the 1970s and 1980s, than traditional frigates, classified as FF. The last of the Navy's FFG 7 ships, the USS Simpson, was decommissioned in 2015. The initiative on the new frigates was based on existing plans to purchase up to 40 smaller, faster vessels known as littoral combat ships. Politicians and naval strategists have criticized those ships for not stacking up in comparison to similar vessels built by rival powers such as Russia and China, according to military news website Scout Warrior.
These criticisms were partially responsible for former Defense Secretary Ash Carter's decision in 2015 to cut by a dozen the order for 52 combat ships, according to National Defense magazine. The guided-missile frigates, heavier and more powerful variants of the littoral combat ships, would be better suited to protect other ships from air, surface and undersea threats. In December, the Government Accountability Office said the littoral combat ships "had taken longer, cost more, and delivered less capability than expected." The original cost of about $220 million per ship had already escalated to about $500 million, with some estimates as high as $700 million per vessel, according to Real Clear Defense. The addition of the latest weapon systems and other modifications to the guided-missile frigate would likely increase that price significantly.
Also in December, Sean Stackley, acting Navy secretary and former assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisitions, and Vice Admiral Rowden, commander of the Navy's surface forces, referred to a "transition" of littoral combat ships to frigates during testimony before the Senate Armed Service Committee.
The frigate program would "complement our inherent blue water capability and fill warfighting gaps in the littorals and strategic choke points around the world," according to the testimony, which was emailed to Newsweek by the Navy's Office of Information. The statement also said the frigates "would not change the fundamental" mission set of littoral combat ships, but provide "additional lethality and survivability capabilities that support executing independent, integrated, high-value unit escort, and both offensive and defensive" operations on the surface and under water.

Here is what experts believe may be taking place in the body, based on research in rodents.
Bisphenol A is used to line many cans and in some plastics. A tiny amount leaches into food and drink.
Most of the ingested BPA gets metabolized in the liver and excreted through urine. Some, however, does not.
It is carried to the cells. There, most researchers believe BPA mimics estrogen's usual function.
Estrogen enters a cell and docks with the estrogen receptors. It then attaches to DNA-binding sites, activating protein-producing genes. The proteins tell the genes to turn on and off.
These are the breast ducts of mice a few days before birth. The gland of the fetal mouse exposed to a tiny amount of BPA is much larger and has more branches than that belonging to the fetus not exposed to any BPA, indicating hyperdevelopment.
The breast of a mouse exposed in utero is far more developed than its unexposed peer. The mouse has not mated, but its breast resembles that of a pregnant mouse: larger, more complex and with developed alveolar buds, which indicates abnormal development.
The breast cells of young adult rats exposed to BPA during gestation. Some of the dark patches show the formation of CIS, or the first signal of cancer.

Oriental Empires Critic Reviews
A perfectly good 4X game with an innovative combat system that feels a bit bland when framed against the richness of its setting.
Aran Suddi
Oriental Empires is a very well made strategy game that allows you to get through a campaign in a few hours instead of having saves that span days, though that is an option as well if you wish. Despite its smaller scope focusing on Ancient China instead of the globe, the stakes actually feel higher due to the limited resources and high number of factions fighting for them. While some of the systems require a lot of getting used to Oriental Empires is well worth persevering with.
Ronald Goncalves
Oriental Empires is a title that is worthy of being called 4X. Yes, it has a good amount of flaws that pushes it away from the greatness, but it still can give to the fans of strategic adventures a great experience.

Taylor Menke
Oriental Empires is a solid, detailed first effort from Shining Pixel Studios that fans of the 4X strategy genre will enjoy. Unfortunately, newcomers and veterans alike might be disappointed by the unwieldy UI, unpredictable systems and lack of in-game tutorials or explanations.

Hey. I just went off depo--my shot was due last month and I passed, and decided to switch for nuvaring. I was on depo for a year and I gained 30 pounds despite diet and exercise. I had been trying to lose the weight for 6 months and nothing worked, so I decided, enough is enough. I quit the shot.
And now two days later I've gained 5 pounds and look bloated...?
Is this unusual? I wish I knew what was going on. I'd love it if I could lose those last 15-20 pounds fairly quickly, but is this normal?
Vaginal secretion (syrupy) like substance in urine?
I have the common symptoms but the test is negative?
Fatloss while on NuvaRing or should I just discontinue until I reach my ideal fatloss?


Halton Region's Public Health Department provides a dental screening to students in elementary schools to identify oral health problems.
What is an oral health screening?
What happens during the oral health screening?
How will I know if my child is screened?
Registered Dental Hygienists from the Halton Region Health Department provide a free dental screening for children in selected grades at all publicly funded Halton elementary schools. The Ontario Public Health Standards require health units to conduct this screening annually to identify children who are in need of dental treatment.
The Registered Dental Hygienist will take a quick look in your child's mouth with a sterilized mirror. Parents will be notified of obvious dental problems and/or recommendations for preventive care. A dental screening is a visual assessment only and does not replace your child's regular dental visit with a dental provider.
How will I know if my child will be screened?
If your child is in a selected grade to be screened, you will be notified by a letter or email from your child's school. If you would like to opt out of this screening, instructions to decline are included in the letter. If your child needs dental care and you can't afford it, you do not have to wait for the school screening. Please call 311 and ask for the Oral Health Program.

49ers Coaching Hot Board: If Jim Harbaugh Leaves, Who Will Be The Next Niners Coach?
By Dustin Hawkins December 10, 2014
Jim Harbaugh still has a job, but he's already the most wanted coach in football...if he really does move on from the 49ers, where does the franchise turn?
Jed York has quite a few options to choose from...let's break 'em down:
Keeping It In-House?
Vic Fangio, 49ers Defensive Coordinator
The 49ers DC is a well-respected name in coaching circles, and like Roman, he's been linked to several head coaching jobs in the past. Fangio has had complete control of San Francisco's defense during Harbaugh's tenure, and there's little doubt he can handle the Xs and Os...the real question marks with Fangio concern his ability to bring in the right people around him.
Greg Roman, 49ers Offensive Coordinator
The 49ers Offensive Coordinator has been linked to a number of jobs at the pro and college level over the past two seasons, and it's only a matter of time before he makes the leap. If York wants to maintain as much consistency on offense as possible, he'll promote Roman...but the way San Francisco's playmakers have looked at the tail end of this season definitely doesn't help Roman's case. If the 49ers offense continues to struggle and the team misses the playoffs, Roman might have blown his chance, even if the meltdown isn't 100% his fault.
Jim Tomsula, 49ers Defensive Line Coach
Per a report by CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, Tomsula is one of three candidates currently "at the top of their list of candidates to replace" Harbaugh. Owner Jed York is a big fan of Tomsula, who was named interim head coach when Mike Singletary was let go in-season. Tomsula had a strong interview with the Vikings this past offseason, and the charismatic defensive line coach seems primed and ready to make the jump to full-time head coach.
College Coaches On The Rise
Jim Mora, UCLA Bruins Head Coach
Mora is an interesting option because of his ties to the team and the York family - Mora was a defensive backs coach in San Francisco from 1997-1998, and he then spent the next four seasons as defensive coordinator. Mora also has NFL head coaching experience, so it's not like the 49ers would be bringing in someone who would need an adjustment period.
Bob Stoops, Oklahoma Sooners Head Coach
Stoops grew up in Youngstown, the same place where the York family hails from, and if he's going to leave Oklahoma, there won't be a better time or landing spot. It seems like Stoops has been at Oklahoma for centuries now, but he's only 54.
Assistants On The Rise
Adam Gase, Denver Broncos Offensive Coordinator
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports believes it's a virtual lock that Gase will be an NFL head coach in 2015, and for good reason – Gase is the architect of one of the most dynamic (and productive) offenses in the modern era of NFL football. Gase turned down opportunities at advancement in both Minnesota and Cleveland last offseason, but a chance to take over one of the most storied franchises in all of sports could be enough to bring him to the West Coast. For the 49ers, Gase's intellect and ability to get the most out of his personnel would present an attractive package to replace Harbaugh.
Sean McDermott, Carolina Panthers Defensive Coordinator
McDermott is a rising star in the coaching ranks, but he already has 16 years of NFL coaching experience – including six as a defensive coordinator – at the age of 40. He's the architect of Carolina's acclaimed defense (it might have lost some steam this year, but that's more a reflection on personnel changes than McDermott), and received interest from multiple teams last year about their head coaching vacancies. McDermott would keep San Francisco as a defense-first team, and would be a nice consolation prize if the big names listed above pass on the job.

Q: Multilevel, multivariate meta analysis with dependent effect sizes? I'm doing a meta analysis to find the connection between environmental fluctuation and fitness performance of organisms. I have collected data (844 Hedge's g mean difference effect sizes ) from 43 studies (multiple effect sizes per study).
Dependency between effect sizes within each study arises from one of the following conditions:

*

*several treatments (treatment.type) have been compared with a common control group,

*several control conditions (control.type) have been compared with one treatment,

*several control and treatment conditions have been compared together.
The treatment and control conditions are study-specific therefore there is no dependency between studies.
In each study effect of treatment has been assessed on different traits (growth, yield, survival and so on). The traits and their numbers are different between studies. The applied organism for the experiments is different between studies (insect, bacteria, virus and ... ).
Here is a data sample to clear my explanation:

Due to the dependency between effect sizes within each study (I don't know the covariances between the different outcomes) I combined information of the treatment.type and control.type in a new column (combination) using the paste function in R. I nested this column in study ID and included in the model as a random factor.
res <- rma.mv(yi, vi, data=mydata, mods = ~factor(A)+factor(B)+C,
>                           random = ~1|studyID/combination,
>                           method="REML", tdist=TRUE))

I've also made the phylogeny tree and correlation matrix between species. I'm going to include the species as a random factor in the model.
I checked the likelihood profile plot for sigma^2.1 and sigma^2.2. In both cases the plot peaks at the estimate.
The distribution of the heterogeneity is as follows:
level1: 59%,
level2: 7%,
level3: 32%
I obtained cluster robust standard error using the following command:
robust(res, cluster=mydata$studyID)

The funnel plot is not symmetric and based on the cook's distance plot I have influential data points.
Questions:

*

*Is the model correct based on the hierarchical structure in my data set (study > combination > trait > effect size)

*Isn't it better to use a network meta analysis instead of a three level model for my data set?

*Is it correct to use studyID as the cluster in robust() function and how should I interpret the output of robust() function?
I'm happy to provide any additional information to facilitate feedback.

First US dollar deal takes off for Paragon Aviation Finance
By Terry Spruce August 7, 2018 14:20
Paragon's Aviation Finance division has spread its wings to include access to dollar funding. The first deal of its kind secured a $7.9 million loan for Zenith Aviation, based at Kent's Biggin Hill Airport, enabling the business to buy another Learjet 75 to add to its fleet.
Zenith Aviation, the largest European operator of Learjet 75s, added a fourth Learjet 75 to its charter fleet to cater for rising demand from clients, which include celebrities from pop star James Arthur to wrestler Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon Levesque.
Following its busiest year in 2017, the new jet will allow the company to further bolster its activities, which have already reached more than 300 flight hours a month to destinations as far as Morocco and Russia.
Alison Jones, Head of Aviation at Paragon, said: "By being able to provide a dollar finance facility, Paragon will be able to assist many clients who prefer the option to fund the aircraft in the currency the aircraft is purchased."
"We aim to make the whole process of financing an aircraft as smooth and simple as possible, whether it's for individuals, SMEs or corporate clients using a plane or helicopter to help their business grow. For those looking to fund an aircraft, Paragon works hard and swiftly to get their finance off the ground," added Jones.
Paragon launched Aviation Finance as part of its Asset Finance portfolio in September last year and Alison and the team have already financed more than 10 aircraft.
The team caters for individuals and companies seeking to purchase new and used aircraft in the UK, refinance aircraft already mortgaged with other lenders, or release equity on aircraft owned outright. By using a specialist aviation finance provider, it leaves banking lines open for other business finance requirements and acquisitions.
Stuart Mulholland, Managing Director at Zenith Aviation Limited, said: "It sounds glamorous but buying a plane is actually a very complex transaction, so anything that can make that process more seamless is a benefit. This deal was full of firsts for Paragon – the first dollar deal and the first corporate jet – and the Aviation team pulled out all the stops. From the quote through to the deal closing was less than four weeks in total, which is very impressive."
"Acquiring the Learjet 75 was a game-changer for us as it's the product that all the brokers want to use. On average, we receive between 250 and 300 requests a day so having another aircraft available in the fleet makes us more able to accommodate them," continued Mulholland.
Paragon provides finance on general aviation aircraft, including fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, as well as business aviation aircraft, including turbo-prop aircraft and corporate jets, starting at a minimum finance amount of £100,000.
Facilities can be structured for a term of between one and seven years. They include capability for seasonal payments, flexible terms and can be tailored to meet each client's individual requirements.

2018: Year Of The Reptile?
Julia Gray
Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Travis Scott and Migos members Quavo and Offset were joined onstage by a special guest — a giant lizard.
Today, fellow hip-hop icons Future and Young Thug shared a music video for "Mink Flow" featuring a mansion filled with reptilian babes.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=11&v=zQYarS9LYgk expand=1]
I don't know what tomorrow holds, but this feels like entirely too much lizard news for one day. I prefer my reptiles spread out over time, like it was in the old days. Even then, though, reptiles crawled and slithered around pop culture from the 2000s through the early 2010s, and it looks like they're having another moment. We've compiled five of the most iconic reptiles.
1. Britney Spears' 2001 VMA Performance
Who could forget Britney wearing a yellow snake like a scarf? Last year, MTV caught up with that snake and found out some details: it's 20 pounds, female, and living happily with the snake handler's friend. Britney, on the other hand, thinks the snake-accessory was "stupid," according to Refinery29. We politely disagree.
2. Grimes - "Genesis" Video (2012)
Grimes cuddled a similar-colored serpent— I wonder if they know each other (the snakes).
3. Brooke Candy - "Everybody Does" (2013)
Brooke Candy — who played the badass metal-clad warrior in the previous video — took it to the next level in her "Everybody Does" video, appearing covered in tiny electric-green lizards.
4. Rihanna's GQ Cover (2013)
2013 was also the year Rihanna went Medusa in this Damien Hirst-directed shoot.
5. America's Next Top Model, Cycle One
And of course Tyra taught the art of snake-modeling on the first cycle of America's Next Top Model in 2003.
I don't know how we landed on "sexy" as the leading descriptor for reptiles, but if Rihanna and Brooke Candy are leading the movement, I'm here for it.

Q: Unable to consume a .NET WCF service in Python I am trying to access a .NET WCF web service from Python and am getting the following error - would anyone be able to let me know what I am doing wrong:
File "C:\temp\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\suds\mx\literal.py", line 87, in start
               raise TypeNotFound(content.tag)
suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'authToken'

Below is the python code that I have:
import uuid
from suds.client import Client
from suds.xsd.doctor import Import, ImportDoctor

url = 'http://something/something?wsdl'
imp = Import('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema', location='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd')
imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')
imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')
imp.filter.add('http://tempuri.org/')
doctor = ImportDoctor(imp)
client = Client(url, doctor=doctor, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/soap+xml'})
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logging.getLogger('suds.client').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger('suds.transport').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger('suds.xsd.schema').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger('suds.wsdl').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
client.set_options

myMethod = client.factory.create('myMethod')
myMethod.authToken = uuid.UUID('xxxxxxxx-35f4-4b7b-accf-yyyyyyyyyyyy')
print(f'CLIENT: {client}')
print(f'myMethod: {myMethod}')
ls_Token = client.service.myMethod(myMethod)
print(f'ACCESSTOKEN: {ls_Token}')

A: Create ResponseData object, the type is defined in wsdl, if there are multiple schemas, you need to add a prefix, such as ns0, ns1, etc.
ResponseData = client.factory.create('ns1:ResponseData')
ResponseData.token = "Test"

Make sure that the properties of the object you created exist,You can view the properties of the object after successfully creating the object.
ResponseData = client.factory.create('ns1:ResponseData')
ResponseData.token = "Test"
print ResponseData

The following picture is the property of ResponseData object:

If I use the following code I will get the same error as you:
ResponseData = client.factory.create('ns1:ResponseData')
ResponseData.authToken = "Test"

So you need to check whether the myMethod object has authToken property.

A: We could not get it to work with SOAP WCF and had to modify it to a REST based service to make it work. Python seems to work better with REST service.

You won't have to walk far to find one of the most luxurious world class hotels in the UAE, the country is full of them. As a result, I have produced my bucket list hotels throughout the UAE that I have stayed in the past, or I wish to stay in the future and why I specifically chose them.
Although we have not stayed here it is definitely on our bucket list. If you want to experience the 'real' UAE with sand dunes and a stunning desert landscape this is the perfect resort. Whilst it is secluded, you will most likely encounter wild Arabian Onyx and Gazelles grazing around the resort. Two complimentary desert activities every day are also included in your stay. It is also one of the highest rated resort throughout the whole UAE!
Emma has stayed at this stunning Arabic designed One&Only hotel back in 2014, and absolutely adored it. Situated just off the Palm with stunning views of it from its own private beach is unbeatable. Walking along the beach you also have great views of Dubai Marina and its many impressively designed skyscrapers. We would say it is one of the best located hotels in Dubai due to the surrounding views. For food lovers, there are also 8 different restaurants with a range of gourmet dishes from around the world. The hotel itself is separated into three distinct environments, The Palace, Arabian Court and Residence & Spa, each with unique rooms. During low season, you can find great deals on this hotel, so keep an eye out if you are wanting to visit Dubai around summer.
Probably the most iconic hotel in Dubai. It is famous for supposedly being the only 7* hotel in the world. Set on its own island overlooking the Palm, it is also the worlds fourth tallest hotel, so expect to have great views of Dubai from your hotel room! However, to live up to these standards it is one of the worlds most expensive hotels to stay in. The cost of staying in a suite begins at USD$1,000 per night and increases to over USD$15,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at USD$28,000 per night. Even though the average traveller could never justify spending this much on a hotel. It is definitely worthy of our list, as who wouldn't want to stay there?!
Another iconic hotel, famous for being the first hotel built on the Palm. Situated at the very end of the Palm with views over the Arabian Gulf, it is impressive to say the least. It is BIG with 1,539 rooms, so don't expect a secluded stay whilst here. The resort has an underwater aquarium, opportunities to swim with dolphins and complimentary access to the Aquaventure water park and the Lost Chambers Aquarium. Not to mention, it is also rated the best valued hotel in Dubai, for what you get!
Located in the eastern crescent of Dubai's man-made Palm Jumeirah harbour islands. This sophisticated, Thai-themed hotel has individual villas set around a lagoon-style swimming pool. Its large swimming pool is fringed by a beautiful white sandy beach, and the resort provides a wide range of eating options. Lit up at night, The Anantara has to be one of the prettiest resorts in Dubai. Even if it is as far from traditional Arabesque architecture as you can get. For what you get, the resort offers fairly good value for money, with rooms starting at around USD$460 a night. But do check during low season as prices may be lower.
Yannick has stayed at this beautiful resort on the Palm. It is located right next to the Anantara. And we love it for the value you can get out of it. Especially if you own Gold status with Hilton, you'll be able to get their amazing suites for as much as you pay for basic rooms in the surrounding places. So yea, this is actually a somewhat affordable hotel on the palm. And the room design is amazing, probably one of the most modern in the world. The whole hotel is made of white marble, which you'll also find in the rooms, especially the huge bathrooms.
The Etihad Towers is currently the top rated Abu Dhabi property on TripAdvisor, thousands of people cannot be wrong in loving this hotel. Emirates Towers is a mixed use office, condominium and hotel. It includes a luxury shopping mall, should you feel the need to visit Hermes, Tom Ford or even Waitrose during your stay. It also has a fairly good beach situated right next to it.
This fairly new island resort is honestly pure luxury. Previously a small, uninhabited natural island close on the coast of Abu Dhabi. It offers well-equipped beach villas, private pools, excellent service, and a wide choice of restaurants and boat transfers, near Saadiyat Island. The island has been developed as both an upscale resort and an exclusive real estate development. The resort is mostly clustered on the north-eastern side of the island, where 32 one bedroom villas line a crescent-shaped beach. Due to the limited hotel rooms you are guaranteed privacy and relaxation, whilst only being a 10 minute speedboat ride from downtown Abu Dhabi.
Another stunning island resort. However, it is slightly different to any other resort throughout the UAE. The Anantara resort is a small collection of villas surrounded by an Arabian Wildlife Park. Which is home to thousands of free-roaming animals including Arabian oryx, sand gazelle, Arabian (mountain) gazelle. As well as larger animals such as cheetah and hyena (the resort is fenced from dangerous animals). The resort feels like you are more in Africa than in the UAE, especially during sunset overlooking the savannah and surrounding landscape.
Iconically designed, and a hotel honourably on our bucket list. In addition, we has previously stayed here and loved every minute of it. If you're a fan of the Formula 1 you will have most likely seen this hotel during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Especially after dark it transforms into what looks more like a space ship than anything else. Literally every part of this very special hotel has been thoughtfully designed so you'll be amazed wherever you look. There are two rooftop pools, one of them with a bar, with great mood lighting all around. And best of all – go during the very hot summer months and you'll be able to snag a room here from as low as 80USD or even one of their amazing suites with wraparound balconies and panoramic track and marina views for under 200 USD. But do your wallet a favour and don't go for the Formula 1 weekend – prices will be starting at a few thousand dollars per night even for the basic rooms!
Do you have any further questions, additional hotels you think I missed, or you just enjoyed and found this guide useful? If so, do not hesitate to comment below on your thoughts! I love hearing from you guys!
Love the idea of this post. As someone who loves to splurge on hotels I found this pretty awesome! Great info with a variety of different luxurious hotels. Life is too short to stay at so many amazing hotels. What to choose what to choose 🙂 Thank you!
Definite bucket list hotels! I am adding all of these to my iPhone notes list of hotels…. Maybe one day I'll get to stay in one!!!
Such a great list. Just makes we want to go there now and stay in them all. Its hard to pick a favourite but i think the Atlantis the Palm looks most appealing to me!
All these hotels are spectacular and the heights of luxury. Many of them have featured in movies too. The Atlantis is the pick of the lot for me. It is really magnificent.
Dubai is an incredible city, you will have an amazing time for sure! That's great glad we could help. All the hotels we have picked are world class and any would be perfect! If you have time, make sure to head out to the desert on safari!

Q: Deep copy of NSMutableDictionary How can one deep-copy the contents of an NSMutableDictionary to another NSMutableDictionary?
I do not want to use initWithDictionary:copyItems: method as my dictionaries are already initialized.

A: This might work:
- (void)addEntriesFromDictionary:(NSDictionary *)otherDictionary

This copies the Keys, But not the values, of an NSDictionary. Of course, If you need a deep copy, take a look at this:
@interface NSDictionary(rross)

- (void)addEntriesFromDictionary:(NSDictionary *)otherDictionary copyItems:(BOOL) copyItems;

@end

@implementation NSDictionary(rross)

- (void)addEntriesFromDictionary:(NSDictionary *)otherDictionary copyItems:(BOOL) copyItems
{
     if (copyItems)
     {
         // get the keys
         NSArray *oldKeys = [otherDictionary allKeys];

         for (int i = 0; i < oldKeys.count; i++)
         {
