La Empresa de Comunicaciones Orbitales, conocida como ECO, fue un canal de televisión de pago mexicano dirigido al público hispanohablante de temática informativa, propiedad de Televisa Networks, compañía de cable que pertenece a Televisa. Tuvo cobertura en México, América Latina, Estados Unidos, sur de Canadá, norte de África y Europa.

Empezó sus transmisiones el 1 de septiembre de 1988, ECO se convirtió en el canal más importante de noticias en español, compitiendo con quienes fueran sus rivales más directos como CNN en inglés, CNN en Español, CBS Telenoticias, Canal de Noticias NBC y la BBC.

Historia
ECO inició el 1 de septiembre de 1988, por iniciativa del área de Televisión de Paga del Grupo Televisa. El proyecto y concepto general estuvieron a cargo de Jacobo Zabludovsky, quien fundamentó a ECO como la primera cadena de noticias de habla hispana con transmisión las 24 horas en México, América Latina, Estados Unidos, sur de Canadá, norte de África y Europa.

En 1994, durante el atentado a Luis Donaldo Colosio, ECO fue el único canal hispano que dio a conocer la muerte del político en tiempo real a través de enlaces en vivo y por línea telefónica con Talina Fernández, quién se encontraba en el hospital donde se hallaba internado el candidato presidencial. Mientras dialogaba al aire con Jacobo Zabludovsky, Fernández anunció: "El licenciado Colosio falleció".

Entre 1988 y 1998, ECO también se transmitió en televisión abierta en México a través de El Canal de las Estrellas y XHTV Canal 4 de Televisa. Y en las principales cadenas televisivas de América Latina como ATC -hoy Televisión Pública Argentina- (1992) en Argentina, Canal 11/RTU -hoy Chilevisión- (1990-1991), La Red (1991) y Megavisión (1992) en Chile, Telecentro (hoy TC Televisión) y Gamavisión en Ecuador, TCS Canal 6 en El Salvador, Canal 3, El Super Canal y Televisiete en Guatemala, RPC Televisión y Telemetro en Panamá, RBC (1990-1991) y América Televisión (1992-1996) en Perú, SNT y Telefuturo en Paraguay, Cadena Uno y Canal A de Colombia, Telecentro Canal 6 y Teletica en Costa Rica y Venevisión en Venezuela. Además, también se emitió por el canal de cable Galavisión en Estados Unidos y Europa.

Existió un segmento llamado ECO Internacional transmitido los viernes por el Canal de las Estrellas dentro del noticiero de Lolita Ayala siendo Ana Paula Ordorica la encargada del mismo.

Cierre
En mayo de 2001 ECO da fin a sus transmisiones por motivos informativos tras 13 años de permanencia en el aire, además de que su rating disminuía considerablemente.

El presidente de Grupo Televisa, Emilio Azcárraga Jean, anunció que para 2010 se crearía un nuevo canal de noticias, expandiéndose el rumor en la red que se trataría del regreso de ECO. Sin embargo, el 10 de febrero de 2010 el nuevo canal fue presentado con el nombre de FOROtv, iniciando sus transmisiones el 15 del mismo mes en señal de paga y el 30 de agosto en señal abierta en lugar del canal 4TV de la Ciudad de México.

Conductores
ECO fue asimismo una plataforma para lanzar al aire en el papel de conductores a algunos artistas y periodistas, algunos de los cuales ocuparon posteriormente puestos importantes en la locución, o se desenvuelven en los espacios noticiosos de México y América Latina.

Interview with Harry van Horen, Owner of Rangeela
Rangeela is a Dutch media localization company, specializing in games. We have been interviewing Harry van Horen, owner of Rangeela, to better understand how Wordbee Translator bring values to his business.
Why did you choose a career in the translation/localization industry?
Actually I didnt choose it, it chose me 🙂
I'd been working in the games industry for 30 years, mainly in the distribution of games in the Benelux. We localized games then on a low level. After I left the company in 2000, I was asked by a large games publisher to help them localize some of their products so I used Rangeela to do that work. Rangeela started in 1990 as the publisher of the first Dutch computer games magazine, Hoog Spel.
What is the main challenge gaming companies are facing today when it comes to localization?
There are a few challenges and they differ per client. But all of them have one thing in common: tight deadlines! It's really hard to deliver quality when you hardly have the time to look at the text.
"Call of Duty" Modern Warfare 3, has an incredible 41 000 lines of dialogue, how would you manage the translation of such a huge project?
A job like that can easily run amok within your company. For this, you need structure, dedicated translators, but above all, control. You need to be on top of what is happening . You can't do this without good tools, and in my mind, Wordbee is perfect for jobs of this size.
How does translating gaming apps differ from other platforms, other than characters limitations?
Actually we don't see many differences in the gaming industry with regards to localization of mobile apps. To us, it's just another platform and like all other gaming platfoms, it has its quirks, but nothing dramatic. There is one big difference, however: a lot of these games are made by indie developers who never actually considered localizing, so there is no structure in the game for it. That really becomes a challenge… translating within the actual code of the game itself is quite a nightmare.
Each game tells a story. Which game was realy fun or special to translate and why?
This is so true… and the stories I could tell you range from great to horrific. However, we are bound by NDAs so I am sorry, no juicy tales here J
You've been a Wordbee user for many years now. What is the feature you find the most unique/valuable in Wordbee Translator?
Wordbee has many features my people like. Wordbee is easy to work with, you don't need lengthy trainings and it is unique in its flexibility. However, what I like most is the great support Wordbee gives. Every time we have a problem, the support desk picks it up quickly and deals with it. They're very helpful, even if the problem is not caused by Wordbee, but by the files my clients have delivered!
Rangeela translates games mainly into Dutch. How do you collaborate with the translators who will translate into the other languages?
We are slowly moving translators with other language pairs to Wordbee. For Dutch, we do 90% of our jobs in Wordbee. The remaining 10% are done using tools specified by the client.
Do you think there is room for Machine Translation in a game localization workflow?
Given the current quality of MT, I don't think it's an option to use for games. Some of our clients have requested that we use it, and we did, reviewing the MT texts, but in the end, this was more costly than it would have been just using translators for the job.

Tom Steyer Tells PBS He's 'David' Standing Against Koch 'Goliath'
By Aly Nielsen | May 27, 2015 12:17 PM EDT
Apparently Tom Steyer knows his Bible better than he knows math. Or perhaps he just hasn't had a heart to heart with his accountant in several years.
Liberal climate change activist and political donor Tom Steyer likened himself to David, fighting against the "Goliath" of conservative political donors, in a May 26 interview with PBS NewsHour. He lamented, "when you look at the relative dollars, it really is a David and Goliath situation, and we're very definitely the small shepherd boy with five rocks and a sling."
The analogy might be cute, but it's also factually incorrect. Even PBS NewsHour anchor Gwen Ifill, who has a history of liberal bias, saw through the analogy. "The small shepherd boy, really?" she scoffed, "You're David?"
Contrary to that image, Steyer was the number one political contributor in the 2014 election cycle. He gave $74 million through his NextGen Climate PAC to push the climate change issue during the election. The Koch brothers, who Steyer attacked in the interview, gave a combined $7.7 million towards the 2014 election - only slightly more than one-tenth of Steyer's contributions.

Before I began this biography, I knew nothing about Charles Colson; I was only a baby when he was a top aide to President Richard Nixon. Born Again is Colson's story about the high point of his career as Nixon's Special Counsel (through the President's 1972 reelection campaign), his conversion to Christianity, his conviction during the infamous Watergate scandal (though that is not why he was convicted), and his time spent in federal prison for obstruction of justice and defamation.
Colson was portrayed in the press as Nixon's "Hatchet Man," a man who would do anything to get Nixon reelected, even "throw his own grandmother under the bus." His opponents didn't like him very much; if you put an agenda before people, you're not going to make a lot of friends.
After Nixon was reelected, Colson decided to take a break from politics and return to his private law practice. However, two events were brewing simultaneously: a conversion and a conviction.
While the Watergate issue was becoming public, Colson had already been feeling egregiously about himself and his conduct during his political career under Nixon. (That's his conscience talking, and that's usually how God gets our attention.) He decided to inquire about a close friend's obvious grounded peace and joy; his friend had become a Christian, and it had changed his life. Maybe this was the change Colson needed. He started to read Christian literature and soon after joined a prayer group consisting of both Republicans and Democrats, including one who did not like Colson at all.
Meanwhile, the heat was on Colson regarding the Watergate and Ellsberg scandals. Colson had no prior knowledge of the Watergate break-in until after it had already occurred, and he had no knowledge of Nixon's wiretapping; he believed that President Nixon was keeping information from him. Unfortunately, Colson was connected to the defamation of Daniel Ellsberg (who had military information about the Vietnam War) by leaking Ellsberg's FBI files to the media - with the intent to destroy his character - and later tried to cover up the leak. But before he knew any specifics, an indictment hung over his head for a long time.
Colson founded a prison fellowship ministry.
After Charles Colson prayed to commit his life to Christ, he started to see things differently. His sin of pride became very clear to him. When he learned that he was to be indicted, and that there would be a trial and he could end up in prison, he knew it wasn't the end of his life; however, he continued to feel bitterness toward justice.
The evil of my pride had been exposed . . . but the process of ego slaying was still going on.
"It's really tough, Chuck . . . but what really matters is . . . what God knows. He knows your sins; He knows mine. And He's always ready to forgive us."
Colson contemplated how "God does not promise to spare us the pain or punishment that comes from our mistakes [sins], but He would always forgive us, love us, and provide the strength to see us through our most difficult experience." This was the realization he needed to accept his fate.
Even after his lawyer told him he could get him off because he was not guilty of plotting and aiding in the Ellsberg scandal, Colson revealed that his guilty conscience of scheming to destroy someone's character was enough to convict him; hence, he pleaded guilty to something that he was not even on trial for. He was sentenced to 1-3 years in a federal prison, though he only served seven months.
Colson worked for prison reform.
The remainder of his story is a look at the dangerous life behind walls and bars and fences - a completely different way of survival. Not only did he have to learn to assimilate to this new life, but he also became a leader. He led in the sharing of the gospel and formed prayer groups and connected with men who desperately needed God. In addition to personally learning about his new faith, he put it to use and was a helper to fellow prisoners in need.
Finally, while this is not a major part of his autobiography, Colson founded a Christian prison ministry, Prison Fellowship, after he was released. This ministry is still operating today and serves prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. He also worked to influence prison reform - something he actually instituted while he was still a prisoner himself. So to those who accused him of conveniently finding religion when he was under the microscope for bad political deals, his salvation was definitely real. He continued to serve His Savior and fellow man for the remainder of his life. Good on him!
Me, too. I wasn't sure how I would like it, but I got into it instantly, and it was an easy read, too.
Interesting. I love biographies so I might just have to give this a try. Thanks for the review!
You know, I think you would probably enjoy reading through The Well-Educated Mind by Susan Wise Bauer. You can start with the biographies first. I'm almost done with the bios, and I have thoroughly enjoyed most of them on the list. You should check it out.

Committee Specifications & Committee Notes published by the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC
Submitted by censign on Wed, 2012-09-05 21:13
We are pleased to announce the approval and publication of two OASIS Committee Specifications and two Committee Notes by the members of the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) TC [1]:
Key Management Interoperability Protocol Specification Version 1.1
Key Management Interoperability Protocol Profiles Version 1.1
Key Management Interoperability Protocol Usage Guide Version 1.1
Committee Note 01
Key Management Interoperability Protocol Test Cases Version 1.1
The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is a single, comprehensive protocol for communication between clients that request any of a wide range of encryption keys and servers that store and manage those keys. By replacing redundant, incompatible key management protocols, KMIP provides better data security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products.
Key Management Interoperability Protocol is intended for developers and architects who wish to design systems and applications that interoperate using the Key Management Interoperability Protocol Specification.
Key Management Interoperability Protocol V1.1 enhances the KMIP V1.0 standard (established in October 2010) by
1) defining new functionality in the protocol to improve interoperability, such as a Discover Versions operation and a Group object;
2) defining additional Test Cases for verifying and validating the new functionality;
3) providing additional information in the KMIP Usage Guide to assist in effective implementation of KMIP in key management clients and servers; and
4) defining new profiles for establishing KMIP-compliant implementations.
The prose specification documents and related files are available here:

Q: Cannot use prisma migrate dev command after creating view i'm trying to create view using migration followed documentation of prisma here
I have followed all steps
created migration using
npx prisma migrate dev --name create_views --create-only

and copied inside generated create_views\migration.sql
CREATE VIEW "Draft" AS
    SELECT "published", "title", "email", "Post"."id"
    FROM "Post", "User"
    WHERE "published" = false AND "Post"."authorId" = "User"."id";

I successfully created the views
but after adding the model manually to schema.prisma
model Draft {
  title     String
  id        Int     @unique
  email     String
  published Boolean
}

I cannot use the command
npx prisma migrate dev

this command will create Draft migration and get failed with message Draft already exists
I want to query using prisma on Draft View using prisma inbuilt query and not raw query and also add more tables so npx prisma migrate dev command won't fail

A: Views in SQL are a kind of virtual table, and they have rows and columns as they are in a real table in the database. so I think you cannot create another table with the name as same in view. you can change your view's name.

In the city of Strasbourg there's no other landmark that could possibly be as unmissable as the Cathedral of Notre-Dame.

Xeka chested the ball towards Jorginho inside the area, and it struck the Chelsea midfielder's arm at close range. We're confident that Chelsea F.C. But while that was welcome news off the pitch, on the pitch Thomas Tuchel's men struggled early on. Just moments before that Andreas Christensen was subbed through injury.

Former Obama Adviser Jarrett Reflects on a Wonderful Life
Autobiography Details Path to Success
Brenda C. Siler Send an email April 24, 2019
Anita Dunn (left), who served as White House communications director for the Obama administration and is now managing director at SKDKnickerbocker, interviews colleague and former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett about her book "Finding My Voice" at Sixth and I Historic Synagogue on April 8. (Bruce Guthrie for Sixth & I)
Former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett's autobiography, "Finding My Voice: My Journey to the West Wing and the Path Forward," takes readers on her journey to the White House and beyond. She shared her story before a packed sanctuary at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in a conversation with former White House colleague and friend Anita Dunn.
Dunn, who was senior adviser to both of Barack Obama's campaigns and his White House communications director, is now managing director at SKDKnickerbocker, a D.C. public affairs agency where Jarrett also is a consultant. A sit-down between work colleagues, who are also close friends, meant there were not going to be any "gotcha" questions during the April 8 chat.
Jarrett recalled her daughter Laura interviewing her in September 2016 for a Story Corps oral history project, during which she asked her mother, "What would you tell a 30-year-old Valerie Jarrett?"
Jarrett thought that was an interesting question and felt she had a lot to say to her 30-year-old self. It wasn't until after the 2016 election, however, when she had time on her hands, that she really focused on a book.
"Well, why not tell my story?" she told the Sixth & I audience. "It was a zig and a zag. It was not a straight line. I learned very early the advantages of enjoying the adventure."
Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, to accomplished parents. Her father, James Bowman, was a specialist in pathology, hematology and genetics who managed a hospital in Shiraz while her mother, Barbara Taylor Bowman, is an American early childhood education expert, advocate, professor and author.
After graduating from law school and starting her career, Jarrett married and had a daughter, but later got divorced and found herself a single parent.
Bored in her law firm job, she took a leap of faith. She went to work for then-Chicago Mayor Harold Washington, her first government job. When escorted to her cubicle on that first day at work, Jarrett had a gut check.
"I thought, 'what in the world are you doing?'" she remembers saying to herself while looking out a window from her cubicle, which offered a view of an alley and another building. "I thought about it for not more than a split-second and said, 'this is where I belong.'"
Jarrett paid her political and business dues in Chicago. She moved out of the political arena to be CEO at the Habitat Company, a real estate development and management company. Her close friendship with then-Illinois Sen. Obama and his wife Michelle drew her back into politics to work on the Obama presidential campaign.
When Obama won his first term, Jarrett was appointed to be his White House senior adviser for public engagement and intergovernmental affairs.
Dunn asked Jarrett what surprised her most about coming to Washington.
"Not a surprise, more like a disappointment," Jarrett said. "When the country was going through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, people were willing to put their short-term political interests ahead of what was best for the country."
When asked what was the best moment during the eight years of the Obama administration, Jarrett replied the night in 2010 when the Affordable Care Act came to a vote. She was at home but was called back to the White House by the president, who wanted to celebrate with his staff that worked very hard on the legislation.
While at the White House on the Truman Balcony, Jarrett asked the president how he felt that night compared to winning the election in 2008.
"There's no comparison," Jarrett recounted Obama saying. "Election night was simply the means to get to this night. This was not about me. This is what we could do with that election for the American people."
In that moment, Jarrett thought, "That's why I work for you."

Man accused of marrying 4 women to plead guilty
Updated: 3:08 AM
DOVER, N.H. (AP) — A man accused of being married to four women is set to plead guilty to bigamy in New Hampshire.
Authorities allege that 43-year-old Michael Middleton married a Georgia woman in 2006, an Alabama woman in 2011 and a New Hampshire woman in 2013. That led to the bigamy charge in New Hampshire, but court documents say he also married a fourth woman in Kentucky in 2016. Prosecutors say he used the marriages to gain access to the women's assets, including $20,000 from his New Hampshire wife.
Middleton was arrested in Ohio in February. He also has faced domestic violence charges in Maine.
Middleton is scheduled to plead guilty Monday. Assistant Strafford County Attorney David Rotman says he faces 3 ½ to seven years in prison.


Strategic partnerships between sponsors and CROs are an important part of today's clinical research landscape. When managed effectively, these relationships provide customers with collaborative strategic resources that drive optimized solutions. Partnerships help ensure the continuity of project teams and operations, development of best practices for continuous learning, and streamlined resource planning and staffing. They can also provide pricing sophistication, including transparency and risk/reward models. Additionally, joint participation in planning and design improves protocols and enhances operational delivery and feasibility.
Most importantly, successful strategic partnerships lead to enhanced clinical outcomes, providing consistent quality across all projects, which reduces the volatility of timelines and budgets, and improved development strategies.
The best practices for navigating the sponsor-CRO relationship come down to setting expectations, establishing responsibilities and meshing cultures. Read on to find out how.
1. Remember to be a partner, not just a vendor.
From the very beginning, this is your chance to promote a mutually beneficial long-term relationship. To do this, start by identifying the DNA of a successful partnership: longevity, effective governance, and appropriate risk-sharing. Always value collaboration over transaction, and embrace shared goals.
2. Be ready to overcome these common challenges.
The lag that comes before expectations are agreed upon, the contract is executed and a mutual understanding is achieved.
Uncertainty about responsibilities and decision authority.
Differences in expectations, processes, personalities, corporate culture, and understanding of responsibilities.
A lack of adequate time for the RFP process.
Not enough planning, risk management, informative reporting, effective communication and governance structure.
3. Always avoid the four Fs.
The toxic four Fs of strategic partnerships build upon each other. If you find yourself dealing with one, resolve it ASAP before it transforms into another down the line.
But just what are these four Fs? They start with Faulty RFP process planning. Uncorrected, faulty plans lead to Flawed feasibility. When the basic processes involved in a study don't work, you'll see Failed site performance. And when multiple sites fail to deliver, overall project delivery Founders.
4. Tailor your approach to company size.
A CRO must appreciate the different needs of different sponsors. While many skills and policies are translatable, a broad one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work well.
Smaller companies tend to need a full range of support when it comes to expertise and infrastructure. Newly established clients especially will require more involvement from a CRO for budgeting, planning and capital raising. Such companies will also likely need a high degree of program development guidance.
While midsize companies may have many needs in common with smaller companies, they can also be very different, especially in the bidding processes. Most midsize companies look to just-in-time bidding as well as scenario modeling instead of rebidding.
In contrast to smaller and midsize companies, large companies usually request little to no collaboration at the planning stage. They are likely to already have highly defined processes, including outsourcing. Understanding a large company's pricing considerations and governance will also be crucial.
No matter the type of client, all strategic CRO-sponsor partnerships have a single common denominator: Each requires service that addresses their own unique needs for delivery excellence.
5. Keep the ultimate goal of the strategic partnership in mind.
A strategic partnership is a balancing act between the sponsor's need for flexibility and the CRO's need for standardization. However, at all times both parties need to remember that they have the same objective: bringing a quality product to market. Sharing goals goes a long way toward fostering alignment — a "one team" culture will go further than one constrained by silos and isolation.
A high-touch customer service environment with a real-time operating model.
Activities that are collaborative rather than transactional with full transparency and a data-driven core.
Changing behavior from reactive to proactive.
The joint pursuit of development milestones and business objectives.
All of these aspects of the strategic partnership must be maintained during design, planning, execution and close-out stages. It may sound complex, but it doesn't have to be a difficult or expensive process — but getting it wrong will cost you.
6. Build the relationship on a foundation of these core principles.
A staff focused on drug development.
Joint planning and staffing between organizations.
Continuity and continuous learning to ensure that all involved stay on the same page.
Integration driven by simple key connectivity points, which improves clinical outcomes across a wide range of activities.
Dedicated peer-based partnership management, focused purely on partnership goals and objectives.
Successful strategic partnerships and indeed, the whole drug development process, requires commitment and expertise from both parties.

"I Could Use a Love Song" is the third single from Maren Morris's No. 1 debut album Hero. The song, co-written by Morris, began with a literal need for a tune to finish out her freshman record -- but, as often happens in writing sessions, especially in Nashville, "I Could Use a Love Song" became so much more. It is now one of Morris's favorite songs.
Below, Morris shares the story behind "I Could Use a Love Song" with The Boot and other reporters.
I had already gone through a breakup, and I finished the bulk of my album. And so, I was writing with my friends Laura Veltz and Jimmy Robbins here in Nashville. We were at Midtown [Sound Studio], [Robbins'] studio at the time.
They were asking me, literally, "What else do you need on this album?" I said, "You know, everything's not about love. I wasn't really going through that I guess, so everything is pretty centered, and the point of view is from my own. It's not a heartbreak record totally." And they were like, "But you could use a love song on the record?"
And then we all got back and were like, "I Could Use a Love Song" is a really cool title. We wrote it really quickly, because it was one of those, you just grab it from the sky, and you hope everything makes sense, and you don't miss anything. But it really came out of a conversation and an actual question.

Q: Sprite animations in paper.js I'm working on my project in Paper.js.
In the part of It, I need to use sprite with animation.
To examplain It, I've got a space ship that can be everywhere on the screen, and there is an effect of disortion that happens sometimes.
I got prepared a spritesheet with 10 frames, and all I want is use Paper.js RASTER class to load It and animate on every frame.
The problem is in the positions, that I don't know how to calculate them...
When I load a raster
let slide = new Raster({
    source:   'assets/sprite.png',
    position: [0, 0]
});

I see center of a very long image, when I need to see the first frame.
My idea was to use group with containts mask (square)
let mask = new Rectangle({
  position: [220, 100],
  size:     [186, 154],
});

That I can change position dynamically and animate the spread at the same time.
Is It possible that way?
It would be cool, If I cant calculate the position of raster against the mask, but for me now It seems impossible.
Anyone have idea how to attain this in a simple way?
Cheers.

A: I've looked into this in my project. The key is using a group with a pivot point. This code is admittedly unfinished and in raw javascript but it should give you a good idea:
var Sprite = paper.Group.extend({
    _class: 'Sprite',
    initialize: function Sprite(url, size) {
        var maskSize = size || new paper.Size(256, 256);
        var that = this;

        this._raster = new paper.Raster(url);
        this._raster.pivot = new paper.Point();
        this._raster.on('load', function () {
            that._spriteSheetWidth = Math.floor(this.size.width / maskSize.width);
            that.setIndex(that._spriteIndex || 0);
        });
        this._clipRect = new paper.Path.Rectangle(new paper.Point(), maskSize);

        Sprite.base.call(this, [this._clipRect, this._raster]);

        this.clipped = true;

        // Just use a blank point if you want the position to be in the corner
        this.pivot = new paper.Point(maskSize.divide(2));
    },

    setIndex: function (index) {
        if (typeof this._spriteSheetWidth !== "undefined") {
            // TODO: FINISH SPRITE SHEET IMPLEMENTATION
        }
        this._spriteIndex = index;
    }
});

I'm not actually using sprites in my project anymore so I never finished the implementation. But the complicated concepts should be completed above. Namely the way that paper.js implements pivot points and clipping masks. The position of an object is the center of it's bounds by default... this is kind of unweildy for a lot of reasons, like an images position will appear to change when it loads etc... or when the contents of a path change. So I like to set a pivot of 0,0 immediately after making any object. The next key section is that clipping masks only work on Groups. And finally you can extend the Group class to make a standard Sprite class.
Normal sprite shifting of this._raster.position.x and this._raster.position.y should finish this implementation off.
Edit: Finished my implementation... https://jsfiddle.net/willstott101/vgxq9kak/

Archaeological dig proceeds without permit
The 12-foot-wide trench excavated through the center of the berm. The fore dune and berm is where the excavation took place. – Contributed
By Mary Rose Kaczorowski |
PUBLISHED: November 9, 2017 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 23, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
On Oct. 31, Caltrans archaeological consultant Pacific Legacy started the Phase II archaeological survey excavation to search for remnants of the historic Albion lumber mills without giving the owner and manager of the Albion Campground and Marina a court-mandated 72 hours' notice. Caltrans obtained a court order on Oct. 5 allowing entry onto the Albion Campground and Marina property to conduct the Phase II historic archaeological investigation.
The California Coastal Commission advised Caltrans that a Standard Coastal Development Permit would be required. The Caltrans Coastal Development Permit (Application No. 1-17-0730) for this work was on the Coastal Commission's Nov. 8 meeting agenda and has since been pulled off the agenda. Trenching for historic resources at the berm site along the base of the bridge is now on hold.
Caltrans District 1 Project Manager Frank Demling said Nov. 7, that neither the Caltrans "task order manager" nor the contractor realized a permit hadn't been issued and failed to provide the campground with the 72 hours' notice required under the court order.
Demling said Caltrans is now consulting with Coastal Commission staff and the Albion Campground and Marina on the permit and modified court order.
"Caltrans District 1 is putting measures in place to ensure that this miscommunication will not happen again," he said.
Demling added that he will personally be responsible for reviewing each provision of the court order in person or by phone with the supervisor of on-site operations before the property is entered again for archaeological, biological and geotechnical studies.
"We are not certain at this point if we would include it with our geotechnical permit application. We may delay completing the Phase II," said Demling.
According to a statement by the Albion Bridge Stewards, a local group representing community concerns on the project, "Once the manager of the Albion Campground and Marina realized what was going on he asked the archaeologists to leave and contacted Caltrans. Caltrans is working with the California Coastal Commission (CCC) staff to develop a plan how to best clean-up and stabilize the unpermitted work performed by the consultant. The fore dune and berm where the excavation took place acts like a seawall protecting the historic Albion River Bridge and the Albion Campground and Marina. This excavation was not carried out according to the plans accepted by the judge nor was the CDP submitted to CCC. The 25' wide unprotected swath now denuded of the ice plant could compromise the stability of the berm and expose the bridge foundations to erosion that has never been an issue at this end of the bridge. High tides combined with storm surges and strong winds could now become a real problem for the Albion River Bridge and the Albion Campground and Marina. The backhoe also drove on the beach which was not a part of the plan. No protective covering was placed over the raw sand in the excavated 25 foot area. This situation is exactly what we talked about with Demling last week at the beach site review. Development without a CDP is in violation both of the Commission-certified County Local Coastal Program and of the Coastal Act. Albion Bridge Stewards are concerned about the recent developments."
The next Caltrans public meeting will be on Tuesday, Nov. 14 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Albion School.
Several project-related items will be discussed including the Salmon Creek and Albion River Preliminary Endangerment Assessments, Supplemental Value Analysis (VA) Study, the Life-cycle Cost Analysis, the Geotechnical Investigations and any community issues raised during the meeting.
Also on the agenda is to select selection community participants to serve on the Supplemental VA study team. The team is scheduled to begin meeting on Monday, Nov. 27 through Thursday, Nov. 30 in Eureka.
The Albion School is located at 30400 Albion Ridge Road in Albion. For information about these projects, contact Frank Demling, project manager, at 707-445-6554.

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric is a spacious, conservative, popular EV
Hyundai Ioniq Electric Review
The Ioniq Electric was Hyundai's first foray into the electric car world.
It came out in 2016 and is still going strong today, after a refresh towards the end of 2019. This latest version of the 100% electric Hyundai Ioniq is a 5-door hatchback with plenty to offer.
The styling makes it look like a conventional car, as does its body shape. But inside, it has lots of modern driving tech and enjoys all the advantages of electric driving.
Comfortable and spacious
Drives and feels like a conventional car
A good all-rounder
Nice decor inside
No 'stand out' features
Hyundai Ioniq Electric Range
The Ioniq has a 38 kWh battery which translates into a range of about 175 miles, in the real world.
Anything over 150 miles is pretty solid for an EV. How often do you drive more than 150 miles in a day? If you do, then you will probably want a higher range electric car.
The Ioniq can also use rapid chargers at motorway service stations at a charging rate of up to 44 kW. That's not particularly fast for a modern EV.
Ioniq Electric Price
There are two trim levels for the Ioniq as follows:
Premium: from £30,950
Premium SE: from £32,950
These prices include the PiCG grant.
How does it compare to the competition? The base model Premium is the second most expensive in the list of other EVs that cost less than £32,000 and can do at least 150 miles on a single charge:
DS 3 Crossback E-Tense: from £30,990, with a range of 185 miles
Hyundai Ioniq Electric Premium: from £30,950, with a range of 175 miles
Hyundai Kona Electric SE (39 kWh): from £29,900, with a range of 162 miles
Kia e-Niro 2: from £29,595, with a range of 163 miles
Peugeot e-2008: from £28,665, with a range of 185 miles
Basically, the Ioniq is a kind of 'Mr Average' type of car. Average specs, average range, average price, and so on. For many people, that's exactly what they want.
To compare and contrast the Ioniq with other popular EVs, try our Car Selector tool.
Who is the Hyundai Ioniq Electric for?
This Hyundai electric car is front-wheel drive, has 5 doors and 5 seats.
Its 100 kW motor (136 bhp) gives it a top speed of 103 mph. It can go from 0 to 62 mph in 9.9 seconds.
In terms of aesthetics, the Hyundai Ioniq Electric is probably best described as conservative, both inside and out. However, the design is standing the test of time, and it's perhaps an antidote to some of the more outlandish EV concepts out there.
Equipment levels and the driver experience are both very good. Space in the back seats of this Hyundai electric car is also fine for both legroom and headroom, and the boot is pretty spacious.
The Ioniq is already a popular EV for families, due to its space, price, and practicality. Its range is good enough for most occasions, though you would need to plan ahead for longer trips.
The Hyundai Ioniq would also be a comfortable, sensible choice for commuters, as long as the home to work distance is not too big.
In summary, this Hyundai EV is a sensible, capable electric car. A second hand one at a low price could be a real steal.
If you would like more information about EVs in general, please see our main Electric Cars page.
For specific details about the Ioniq itself, see the main Hyundai UK Ioniq Electric website.

Q: Python Selenium How to click on the Input type number increment or decrement buttons With Python Selenium how can I click on the increment or decrement buttons of an Input type number. The increment and decrement buttons are Browser specific objects and not part of the DOM. So I can not use the inspector to get the xpath.
I want to increment and decrement these inputs.
HTML:
<input type="number" name="qty" value="69">

Edge:

Firefox:

Since they do not appear in the DOM inspector (for either browser) I don't see how to make the click action for those buttons:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[2]/main/form/div[1]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[3]/input[1]').click()

A: You can remove the existing attribute through removeAttribute() set back the new attribute using setAttribute() as follows:
counter = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[name='qty'][type='number']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].removeAttribute('value')", counter);
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('value','50')", counter)

In a single line:
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].setAttribute('value','50')", driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[name='qty'][type='number']"))

Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By


You can add photos to Tours you recorded with komoot or to Tours you uploaded as GPS files and saved as recordings.
Open the Tour on our website, then click on "Edit Tour". Now click on "Photos". You can either drag and drop photos to add them, or click on the word "browse", to open folders on your device.

Are you looking for a discreet alternative to unattractive, metal braces? Do you want to enjoy a beautiful, straight smile in a shorter time? Luckily, dentistry has evolved over the years and there are now many options available for patients who wish to straighten their teeth without compromising their looks.
At Denchic Dental Spa, we understand that teenagers and adults are less likely to wear metal braces due to various cosmetic and practical considerations. Despite being more lightweight, modern braces are still visible and this can be an issue for many patients. Invisible braces in North London are discreet, comfortable and often have shorter treatment times that traditional braces.
Six Month Smiles is an innovative treatment that uses tooth-coloured, fixed brackets and wires to help your crooked teeth move into their correct position over a period of six months or less. Six Month Smiles braces in North London use a small amount of force to shift your teeth into the desired position. They contain nickel-titanium wires that are discreet and apply constant pressure. However, unlike regular braces, these braces only focus on the front teeth and cannot alter your bite.
As the name implies, Invisalign aligners are made of almost invisible, high-quality plastic. Rather than being fixed to the teeth as metal or clear braces are, clear aligners are completely removable — for important social occasions, for eating, and, perhaps most importantly, for tooth brushing and flossing. However, you should wear them at least 22 hours per day every day for effective treatment.
The Inman Aligner is a removable device that can be used to treat minor dental issues, such as twisted, misaligned or crowded teeth, on both the top and the bottom jawbone. Working similarly to a dental retainer, the appliance is very discreet – the only visible sign is a fine wire that runs across the front of the teeth. The Inman Aligner uses a coiled spring mechanism behind the teeth and a thin metal wire that covers the front teeth. These components work together, applying opposing forces to the front teeth and gently moving them into the correct position over a period of a few weeks.
This entry was posted in Cosmetic Braces on 14th November, 2017 by Denchic Dental Spa.
Denchic Dental Spa is committed to offering patients in North London braces that are comfortable, fast-acting and aesthetically pleasing. We partner with leading suppliers of dental equipment so that you benefit from the experience of companies who have worked with thousands of smiles worldwide.
Getting braces in North London with Denchic Dental Spa means enjoying our modern clinic and the attention of our professional and friendly team. Having your teeth straightened is a long-term commitment that means several visits to our practice. To make this easier, we ensure that you are well informed about the appointments you will need, our fee structure and the benefits of the braces systems that we offer.
Six Month Smiles is a fixed braces system that champions speed and discretion. The brackets and wires used by Six Month Smiles are clear and tooth-coloured to help them blend in with your teeth and reduce the impact of braces on your appearance.
Denchic Dental Spa gathers information about your teeth and the smile you want here at our clinic in North London. Braces need to be crafted to fit each individual. We send your information to Six Month Smiles and they send your unique braces back to us to be fitted. The process is quick and comfortable. Once your braces are in place, they begin to gradually straighten your teeth.
Invisalign is a revelation for many patients. If you think of braces as equipment that needs to be attached to your teeth, you're in for a surprise.
Invisalign offers clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. These are removable so you can take them out to eat and to keep your teeth clean and healthy. Based on the information we provide, Invisalign makes you a series of aligners that you work your way through one at a time, in a set order, until you complete the course and get the smile you have always wanted.
For swift and easy treatment, Inman Aligner offers a device that focuses on the teeth that are visible when you smile. This means you can achieve results in as little as six weeks. Inman Aligner is one of the simplest options available.

If you have ever watched one of the many dating programmes on TV, you may have noticed how highly the men and women on them rate a good smile. For many, not having straight, healthy white teeth can be a date breaker. That's how important smiles are in the 21st century.
At Denchic Dental Spa, we get a lot of people coming in to find out how we can help them get the smile they want, with braces in North London. The popular misconception that you can't get your teeth straightened if you are beyond your teenage years is starting to fade away, and people of all ages are seeking out straighter teeth in North London. Braces now come in a variety of shapes and systems. Some pull your teeth into alignment. Some push them. Some work on all your teeth. Others work on just the front ones. Which one will be right for you?
The only way to find out is to come into Denchic Dental Spa for an initial consultation. We will make a thorough examination of your teeth and listen to what you think are your highest priorities from your braces in North London.
Do you want your braces to be as invisible as possible? If you do, then maybe you need to invest in Invisalign. This is not the fastest system on the market. The average treatment time is about a year. But, these transparent, thin plastic aligners snap on over your teeth and all but disappear. You'd have to be a very keen observer to clock that someone is using Invisalign. Another plus with this system is that it is removable. That means you can continue to eat whatever you like, and wont' have to spend ages picking your food out from between your teeth and your dental appliance.
If you want speed and discretion, you might want to go for Six Months Smiles. These work on the front six teeth only. The small clear ceramic brackets are fixed to the fronts of the teeth and are strung together with tooth-coloured wires. These are tightened every few weeks to pull the teeth into alignment. This system usually takes between four and nine months to complete.

Gone are the days when the only material used to make braces in North London was metal. Now, at Denchic Dental Spa, we can offer more discretion and comfort with a range of systems for teeth straightening. Why not come along for a no-obligation consultation and find out more about how these appliances could help.
Over the past 30 years, there has been a surge of research and development in dentistry that focuses on aligning teeth, leading to a much wider choice of materials and methods and shorter treatments times for some realignment issues.
With the wider range of options on the market, more and more adults have decided to get their teeth straightened. Many missed out on braces treatment when they were teenagers because their teeth weren't misaligned enough to qualify for NHS funding. Others had treatment, but their teeth have since shifted out of alignment.
At Denchic Dental Spa, we understand not that everyone wants standard metal braces and we want to find out what your goals are with braces in North London. Most adults do not need to have traditional heavy-duty metal braces, which were designed to deal with severe issues and realigning the bite.
People don't like them because they dominate the mouth. For adults, this can be quite an issue, interfering with the image they need to portray in their professional lives. Metal braces can also be uncomfortable, although advancing techniques and materials are making them less so, and are seen as taking longer to do their work.
That's why we are offer a range of discreet braces in North London. Six Month Smiles is a fixed appliance designed to correct minor to moderate issues with the front teeth. It uses smaller clear ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires, which blend in with your teeth rather than dominate them. Treatment takes, on average, just six months.
We also offer Invisalign clear aligners, which are like very thin plastic mouth guards that fit over your teeth and can be taken out to eat and to clean, which is good for dental hygiene. The average treatment time for Invisalign is a year.

If you are down in the dumps because your wonky teeth are too embarrassing to allow you to smile, you will be delighted to know that, no matter how old you are, you can get your teeth straightened with braces in North London.
At Denchic Dental Spa, we have a range of braces in North London, one of which will be perfect for sorting out your alignment problems.
If you are an adult with wonky teeth, chances are that it is just the alignment of your teeth that is out of whack, rather than your bite. If it had been your jaws not lining up properly then you would have been able to have treatment on the NHS as a teenager. Maybe you did, but you didn't wear your retainer, and now your teeth have drifted out of line again.
This is easily dealt with, and discreetly too. Over the past several years, dental researchers have come up with several great braces in North London that are far more discreet and comfortable, and often faster-working, than heavy-duty metal braces.
This is great for aligning your very front teeth that need straightening. It has two aligner bows that are spring-loaded for pressure. One goes in front of your teeth, the other behind them, and they work together to sort out all sorts of alignment issues. Treatments can be as short as six weeks, and because you use the same device as a retainer, it is cost-effective too.
This is also designed for the front teeth, but this time the front six social teeth, which require a lot less force to move. This means that the brackets of this fixed device are much smaller, and are made of clear ceramic. The wires are tooth-coloured. Together they pull the teeth into alignment in an average of just six months.
Using pushing force rather than pulling, these clear plastic tooth trays come in a series of incremental steps. You wear each one for about two weeks, and then move onto the next. Average treatment time is about a year. These devices are removable for eating and cleaning, and are pretty much invisible once they are on your teeth.

Straightening your teeth will improve their appearance. And because they're easier to keep clean, good oral hygiene will be easier to maintain. At Denchic Dental Spa in North London, braces are used to treat a variety of conditions, from front teeth that stick out too much, to the overall dental crowding that can make people reluctant to smile.
Modern realignment appliances can be made of low-visibility materials. For adults in North London, braces will remain discreet at social events and business meetings. The potential embarrassment that can deter people from seeking improvements is minimised, while each treatment is precisely customised to ensure its effectiveness for the patient.
Braces like Six Month Smiles are attached to the surfaces of the teeth. Made of a combination of tooth-coloured and transparent materials, this appliance won't attract too much attention while it gradually moves your teeth into better positions. This innovative technology, as its name suggests, can take as little as six months to achieve its effects.
With the Invisalign system, you will wear a clear plastic aligner over your teeth. This popular dental appliance can be removed when you brush your teeth and during meal times. Roughly every two weeks, you will be given a new one of these to wear, which has a slightly different shape. Over time, typically around 18 months, this series of aligners will guide your teeth into new positions.
Before you settle on a specific type of braces in North London, your dentist will discuss with you the most appropriate method for the sort of alignment issues you are facing. After the braces come off, you'll probably need to wear a retainer at night, to help the teeth get used to their new positions. Moving teeth takes time, but once it's done, you'll be able to enjoy the improvements for many years to come. A nicer-looking smile will improve your face's aesthetic appeal, and may give your overall confidence a boost. And since good oral hygiene will be easier to maintain, the risk of tooth decay will be reduced. In North London, braces improve your health while they enhance your appearance.

At Denchic Dental Spa in North London, braces improve the aesthetic appeal of your teeth as well as help you to maintain good overall oral health. Straighter teeth are much easier to keep clean. Modern methods of realigning the teeth can often be surprisingly discreet, and relatively speedy, depending on the complexity of your needs. You might be able to achieve a great-looking smile and improved dental function with less disruption than you imagine.
We offer a range of modern appliances to suit all the reasons our patients seek braces in North London. Whether it's protruding front teeth making you feel self-conscious, or dental crowding making your mouth look and feel awkward and hard to keep clean, our friendly dental professionals will talk to you in detail about the ways our different treatments can benefit your dental appearance and oral health.
For relatively straightforward cases of tooth realignment, a treatment like Invisalign might be suitable. In this treatment, a series of clear plastic aligners is customised to your needs. You will wear one of these aligners for around two weeks, before moving on to the next one. Because each one of them is a slightly different shape, your teeth will be gradually guided into new positions. The aligners can be removed during mealtimes and while you brush your teeth. Popular with professional adults, the aligners' transparent plastic helps them to stay discreet while your treatment is in progress.
For more complex realignment requirements, you may need to wear braces made of wires and brackets that are attached to the teeth for the duration of the treatment. With Six Month Smiles, the wires are tooth-coloured, while the brackets are transparent. Returning to the dentist regularly, to have adjustments made and to ensure everything is kept on track in North London, braces like these put gentle pressure on the teeth to optimise their orientation. Afterwards, the mouth is easier to clean because there are fewer awkward spaces in it, and your teeth's new positions mean dental function is more efficient, while the risk of jaw strain is reduced.

One of the first things we notice when meeting a new person is their smile. This is one of the reasons why it's important to look after our teeth as best we can. Brushing twice a day, flossing, using anti-bacterial mouthwash and visiting the dentist as often as recommended is important in keeping your smile looking and feeling great.
Sometimes we do need a little extra to give our smile that little boost it may need. Growing up many of us may have had treatment involving braces to make sure our teeth grow and develop properly.
More and more adults are considering braces in North London for any amount of adjustment. New types of treatments can make this process a lot less stressful than traditional braces. In North London, at Denchic Dental Spa, we offer a range of treatments to suit you.
Many patients have had braces at least once in their life already, it's not uncommon to have braces twice in your lifetime. Here at Denchic Dental Spa, we focus on treatments that will improve the visual aspects of your smile, offering treatments that will get you fast, noticeable results.
The Inman Aligner will offer very fast results, usually being noticeable between 6-16 weeks of the treatment starting. Another great advantage of the Inman Aligner is that it's completely removable, so when eating or at social occasions you can simply take the device out, allowing you the same confidence as usual.
A treatment that has been growing in popularity in recent years is the use of clear plastic aligners. We offer Invisalign treatment, a trusted industry standard for this type of treatment. As the name suggests, Invisalign treatment is almost completely invisible, so the treatment will hardly affect your lifestyle at all.
This is another treatment that benefits from being removable, making meal times much easier. The treatment involves a series of clear plastic custom-moulded tooth trays that have a slightly different shape. The trays are changed every two weeks, gradually adjusting your teeth, with no interruption to your usual lifestyle.

If you didn't have your teeth straightened as a child or teen, you shouldn't be alarmed – you can still achieve a straight smile without having to wait for years. In recent years, more and more adults are visiting the dentist in order to take advantage of teeth straightening. Recent advances mean that dentistry has come a long way and nowadays adults can have their teeth straightened without the need for metal braces.
At Denchic Dental Spa, we appreciate that adult patients are often reluctant to wear metal braces and that's why we offer innovative teeth straightening treatments for a natural smile at an affordable cost. Discreet braces in North London not only will help you regain your smile, but will also improve your oral and overall health.
A combination of trusted teeth straightening technology and innovative design, Six Month Smiles braces are made of clear brackets and wires to gently straighten your front teeth in only six months. Most dentists agree that braces are the most effective solution for correcting misaligned teeth. However, conventional braces must be worn for years to actually work, which can be inconvenient and expensive, especially for adults.
Six Month Smiles braces achieve the same results as conventional braces in a much shorter time. They are an ideal solution for adults who wish to align their teeth in a short period of time, while preparing for a special occasion, such as a wedding or a graduation.
Invisalign is an innovative treatment that uses a series of clear, removable, and custom-made aligners to help move your teeth into their right position over a specific period of time. Invisalign is made with 3D computer imaging technology to help your dentist monitor your progress. The aligners are removable, therefore, eating, drinking, brushing and flossing your teeth has never been easier. Finally, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic that fits comfortably over your teeth and gums.
If you are interested in adult braces in North London, all you need to do is give us a call and schedule a consultation with one of our friendly dentists.

In recent years, an increasing number of adults are looking to straighten their teeth, and where adult teeth straightening is concerned, discretion and speed are the main concerns. The most successful adult braces have proven to either deliver their results as quickly as possible or with the most discretion possible. Many brands aim to deliver more than one of these goals through innovative technology.
At Denchic Dental Spa, we appreciate that some of our patients do not wish to wear unsightly metal brackets and wires. That's why we offer a range of discreet and effective braces in North London that are designed especially for self-conscious teenagers and adults. Whichever of the many treatments available you choose, we will ensure that we provide you with the best possible results.
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to straighten your teeth over a specific period of time. Invisalign braces are custom-made to fit over your teeth snugly and can be removed to eat and brush your teeth as you normally would. Treatment time varies per patient, although most people having their teeth straightened with Invisalign wear the aligners for 9-18 months. This treatment option is extremely popular amongst adults looking to get the smile they have always wanted without the look or feel of braces.
An Inman aligner is a removable device, ideal for those who have two or three crooked front teeth. It is an efficient solution to guide protruding or crowded front teeth into the correct position. Unlike most teeth straightening treatments, Inman aligners usually take two or three months for effective treatment. Since the aligner is removable you can take it out to eat or brush your teeth, however, you are advised to wear it for as many hours as possible throughout the day.
It's never too late to improve your smile. If you have healthy gum tissue and a stable jawbone, you may be an ideal candidate for adult braces. To get the best results from your adult braces in North London, contact us and we will book a consultation appointment for you.

In Conversation: Eliot Treichel
and Brian Juenemann
For The Register-Guard
APPEARED IN PRINT: SUNDAY, OCT. 25, 2015
The Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association recently convened in Portland for its annual trade show, bringing together the region's booksellers, representatives from the publishing world and 100 local, national and international authors.
As one of the show's hosts, I'm surrounded by literary action during the show's three-day run. Unfortunately, I'm rarely able to divert my logistical trajectory to take in the multitude of author presentations.
But a guy's got to eat, so this year I made a plan to take a short break and drop in on the Celebration of Authors lunch, a showcase focused on Northwest writers who have one or two books under their belts but are not yet household names.
My priority was to catch the author whose new novel I'd finished just before the show. I'd previously reviewed (and endorsed) Eliot Treichel's first book, Close is Fine, a collection of short stories, in late 2012. He's a Eugene resident, but somehow we'd never met.
A Series of Small Maneuvers is the story of 15-year-old Emma Wilson, who loses her father in an accident in the remote Rio Tinto wilderness of New Mexico. She is his lone companion and witness to— and, she fears, responsible party to— his death.
If you think I've dropped a spoiler, read on. I am not selling out the author's surprise.
My boxed lunch was a dud, but Treichel was a pro at the podium with his "Take two breaths, then go" themed delivery, a mantra for taking on a river, a blank page and life in general. I introduced myself that day, and we agreed to talk more about the book.
The Local Shelf: Whether you're telling an audience about your book or a reader is diving in, there's no attempt on your part to conceal that tragedy is the catalyst of this story. Did your idea for this book start with that convention or did the structure evolve once the nature of your story — Emma's story — began to unfold?
Eliot Treichel: The idea for the book pretty much started with that convention in mind. I'd been on a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon and ran into a family at a switchback fairly deep into the canyon. They had two young girls with them, maybe 6 and 10, and the youngest girl was clutching a ragged, once-white stuffed animal — either a floppy-eared dog or a rabbit.
There was a tension in the air, and I could tell the girls had just been crying. They were adorable, but also seemed so out of place. That image got stuck in my mind, and I started thinking a lot about whether or not I agreed with the parents for putting their kids through that kind of physical rigor, about why a parent might make the choice to do that, and what those kids would do if they suddenly found themselves alone out there. I think the first line of the first draft was, "The sheriff asked me to tell him what had happened."
Someone once told me, "When you don't know something is going to happen and then it does, that's just a surprise. When you know something is going to happen, but then you have to keep heading toward it, that's tension."
Question: Publishers Weekly reviewed the novel positively but did note that "technical descriptions of canoeing and camping may stymie outdoor novices," which I thought to be off the mark considering that, in the river, you gave us both a setting and an art form — in the traversing of that river — that were challenging and fascinating, because of the level that Emma and her father were participating in it all. Did it ever cross your mind that camping and canoeing could be considered esoteric, even in today's wired world?

Answer: My hope is that no reader will be stymied. I worked hard to making any technical descriptions of canoeing and camping clear enough for those readers who didn't have any outdoor experience, but also not so simplified as to bore any readers who've been paddling a bunch. I hope I struck a good balance. And really, more than canoeing or camping, this book is about rivers, and rivers touch us all.
Question: There's a point in the story when Emma is alone, exposed and trying to physically and mentally block out the wind and try to sleep but instead creates her "own storm" of voices, faces, doubts, guilt — a microcosm of the adolescent angst and pressures she was carrying before she ever encountered the tragedy and challenges she now faces. She describes the cumulative sensation as a "white noise — sort of the way it got in the halls at school sometimes." A few pages later, in one of my favorite pieces of character revelation and of your writing, she's wearing the tarp in a loop around her shoulder like a sash. She imagines herself as a bizarre beauty contestant from Lost-in-the-Middle-of-Nowhere: Miss Placed. It's funny and terribly sad.
The question I'm working toward is, where did you find Emma? Did you mine the hallways of a high school? Did you go back into your own teenage head? You're very caring toward her in a way that is not condescending or sappy, but very empathetic and real.
Answer: I like that you said "find" Emma. I'm not sure if I found her, or she found me, but perhaps more than anything else I've written, with this book it was like I was just transcribing what my character said right onto the page. I had this strange moment when the book was first getting going where I realized that I sincerely enjoyed spending time with Emma, and on days when I didn't write, I missed not getting to hang out with her. That had never happened before.
At the same time, I certainly mined from my experiences during my own high school years. And my daughter was a sophomore in high school when I started the book. I think the detail about the crowded and noisy halls may have even been something she once mentioned to me.
And thank you for saying that I'm caring toward Emma. I think that's a crucial job of the author — to be caring toward his or her characters, even the ones who do bad things or make horrible choices. Especially those.
Question: I'm guessing the comparisons will come — what does Gary Paulsen's Hatchet mean to you?
Answer: The Gary Paulsen book that means the most to me is Dogsong. I went to this very small (like 30-students small) Lutheran grade school. One of the memories I often tell my writing students about is having to drudgingly go through our brand new copies of Johnny Tremain as a class and black out each of the "bad" words our teacher told us to.
I bring that up because, in contrast, later in the year our teacher put up a poster of that year's Newbery Honor books. Dogsong was one of them, and for some reason, I was transfixed by the cover. I remember just standing there during recess and staring at it while other kids played. So I asked my dad if he could get it for me at the bookstore and he did. I wasn't much of a reader before that point. But I devoured Dogsong, then Tracker, then Dancing Carl. Those books captured my imagination in ways nothing else had.
Question: I've pointed this out in previous Local Shelf columns, but I get a kick out of recognizing bits of author inspiration in their fiction — people, places, events — things that readers can identify from our local landscape. I was completely in sync with Emma's father in his apprehension at the prospect of managing a large party, including five or six teens, everyone ordering separate desserts, in a place where it "was always super busy and so hard to order, even when you were by yourself."
Claustrophobia-induced grumpy dads unite! We've all made the sacrifice to wedge in the door of this favorite local sweet shop and wait it out, but tell the truth — have you ever bailed for the DQ, as Emma's dad might be compelled to do?
Answer: I'm glad you could relate to that! And I've bailed with the best of them!
Question: You said in your presentation to booksellers earlier this month that you initially achieved eloquence via the kayak, not necessarily the pen. Are you ready to equalize your assessment of achievement in both venues?
Answer: No, not yet. Granted, I'm not running Class V whitewater anymore, but kayaking never feels like a struggle. When I'm kayaking I'm always in motion, and it's easy for my mind to concentrate on the present moment, much easier than it is in the "real" world.
Some days writing feels that way, but more often than not, it's a clunky, awkward process where I feel completely lost. I have an MFA, years of teaching experience, two books now, and I'm not sure I really know what I'm talking about when it comes to writing. Esoteric, indeed.
Readers may not all be familiar with the terms and tools of the river, but anyone can understand that when a major piece of Emma's existence is suddenly gone, the life she returns to is no longer there. Stepping back into her old world is like trying to stand in a buoyant canoe. Treichel and his protagonist both handle the precariousness with tremendous grace.
As Emma's dad always wished, I'm going to take a shot at using river as a verb: A Series of Small Maneuvers rivers (to bend, to flow; power and gentleness, to dance) sublimely among the most honest and relevant young adult fiction hitting the shelves today.
Eliot Treichel recntly won the Reader's Choice 2017 Oregon Book Award for A Series of Small Maneuvers.

Jim Acosta, the Preening Thanksgiving Turkey
November 21, 2018 By Debbie Young
"Nobody contests Jim Acosta's right to be a jerk in front of a TV camera," writes William McGurn in the WSJ.
It's a mutual convenience to film the press corps and the White House at press briefings. By filming inside the White House grounds, networks convey the illusion of intimacy and authority, Mr. McGurn reminds readers.
In the federal courts, however, Mr. Acosta and his employer, CNN, are now arguing that Donald Trump owes him a White House stage as well. Taking away his hard pass, the claim goes, violates both First Amendment speech rights and Fifth Amendment guarantees of due process. What Mr. Acosta's cheerleaders don't seem to appreciate is that elevating a government pass into a constitutional fight will prove a loser in the long run, especially for television outlets such as CNN.
Even the judge who issued a temporary restraining order Friday that restored Mr. Acosta's pass said he was ruling narrowly and wasn't pretending to adjudicate the First Amendment claims. David Rivkin, a constitutional lawyer who has served in the Justice Department and the White House Counsel's Office, calls Mr. Acosta's legal case "patently absurd," and notes that, while valuable, a White House pass is not a matter of constitutional right but of a sensible accommodation.
Mike McCurry, Ari Fletcher Suggest No Live Coverage at Press Briefing
This wouldn't do anything to stop the hot-dogging at pressers featuring the president. It would, however, kill the incentive for showboating at the daily briefings. Again, it is the television press that stands to lose most, especially if Mr. Trump were to couple moving daily briefings off camera with holding few or no press conferences himself.
A lawsuit is not the real way forward, notes Mr. Fletcher, and Jim Acousta is "the wrong hill for the press to die upon."
It's for the press and the White House to work together on a reasonable code of conduct. Acosta might not like it, but most White House reporters are polite and won't mind.

Men's Golf Hosts Revolutionary Classic
RISING SUN, Md. – The Ursinus College men's golf team made great strides on the second day of its spring opener, trimming nearly 40 strokes from its opening effort at the two-day Revolutionary Collegiate Classic.
Confronting strong winds and chilly temperatures on Saturday, the Bears struggled to a team score of 375 at Chesapeake Bay Golf Club, but took advantage of the nicer weather on Sunday to fire in a 336.
Ursinus wound up fifth in the six-team field at its annual tournament, which was won by Arcadia with a team score of 648. Muhlenberg was four strokes back in second, while the Bears shot a 711 to finish 15 strokes behind Widener in fourth.
Freshman Kyle Quagliero was the top performer for the Bears' eight-man contingent, carding a 79 on Sunday for a 36-hole 168 to tie for ninth overall. The rookie was one of seven golfers to shoot in the 70s on the second day of the tournament.
Junior Ryan Hodgdon tied for 16th to finish in the top half of a 34-man field. Hodgdon shot 86 in the first round and 88 in the second for a two-day 174. Classmate Brian Barrett was right on Hodgdon's heels with a 176, which included an 80 on Sunday; the junior fired a 33 on the front nine, highlighted by four birdies.
Junior Daniel Schlitt (104-89—193) and freshman John Murray (100-94—194) each made major improvements from round one to round two, with the latter breaking 100 for the first time in his collegiate career on Sunday.
Freshman Kai Toomey (109-100—209) and sophomore Ryan Moliken (131-116—247) and Liam Bradley (131-129—260) rounded out the Ursinus contingent.
The Bears resume play on April 1 at the Lebanon Valley Invitational.
