G-land Surf the waves rise in the middle of 14. The remaining time for surfing climb is very similar to the previous days … high on the head and really only happens in upreef Kongs. The wind was good, touched the earth in the morning and end around 10:30 in the morning or at sea 11. Is back to its normal G-Land in the morning, but I felt like a surfer who was here in the morning sessions addiction and rightfully so. It is not easy to break the habit that once you get used offshore morning.
Then, this new pulse ripple that really started to go G-land Surf Forecast Moneytrees and do it consistently for about an hour. It looks very good from my perspective at the beach and even saw some look really solid to droplet size. About 8-10 feet and lined with a straight face. Perhaps this is the beginning of the pendulum back to a place that had just arrived just a few days ago. And the forecast actually looks like it would be a scenario. Something big enough, maybe the way, I just hope the wind is good.

MEMORISE: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." – Romans 12:2 (KJV)
READ: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (KJV)
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 21-23
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment. – Exodus 23:2
Fire does not follow trends, it remains the same all the time. Fire is fire. It is not frozen today, liquid tomorrow and vapour the next day; fire is always fire and remains in one state. It does not copy anything or anyone else – it remains in its own state.

I remember a time when the custom amongst men of God in Nigeria was to wear a flowing robe – Agbada. It was their way of proclaiming, "We have arrived". I don't have anything against the Agbada. It is the traditional attire in many Nigerian cultures and I do wear it now and again. However, I refused to follow the trend of wearing it all the time. One man of God said to me then, "I like you, but I don't like the way you dress like a hunter" – apparently referring to the conservative French suits I often wear. I told him I was not a hunter, but rather, a soldier of Christ. Fire does not blend in with its environment; rather, it affects it.
You must stand apart. You cannot afford to do something simply because others are doing it. Fire does not conform; it is not afraid to stand alone. Fire does not yield to peer pressure. Proverbs 1:10 says when sinners entice you, don't consent. It doesn't matter how enticing the new trend is, if it is not in line with the word of God, reject it. In 1 Kings 18:22, Baal was worshipped across the land of Israel but Elijah set himself apart. He did not blend with the others around him because He was fire. It doesn't matter if everyone is doing what is against God's will, because you are fire, you cannot join them. 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 urges us to come out from amongst unbelievers.
Matthew 5:16 says that we should let our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven. How will they see the works of God in you when you are always trying to blend with people who are doing the works of the devil?

You all know this scene. After all the drama, the angst, the worry and anticipation it all comes to a head at the Carnival and life is good again by way of some spandex and big hair.
A little while ago I wrote about the closure of the playground after school. This caused our little school a great deal of stress and opened the door to a bigger discussion about ways to make our school and community better. As it turns out the playground will remain closed for the rest of the school year. I decided to put aside my efforts to change this so I could concentrate more on finding other methods to create the community and fun for my children after and around school.
The Carnival was EXACTLY what we needed.
It was a cold and windy day Saturday, but walking around the campus and spending as much money as I could on games and treats while my kids had a blast was perfection.
ps. Have you re-watched Grease? As an adult the jokes finally have a meaning that was completely lost on me when I was 8!
pps. I also made sure Ella got some good use of the "closed play structure " while we were there. Because, ya know… that's how I roll.
This is so awesome! I agree with Steve. Pretty amazing! The boys have their carnival this weekend.
I guess I need to watch Grease again !! Steve, you DEFINITELY DO !

Jewish Readers Deserve to See Themselves Outside of the Holocaust and Holidays
August 12, 2020 by We Need Diverse Books 3 Comments
By BrocheAroe Fabian, River Dog Book Co.
"HERSHEL OF OSTROPOL!" my mother read to me in a deep, rasping voice.
"Did I hear something?"
Her voice had changed pitch and tone, lighter, higher, with a little quiver in it indicating fear—Hershel's voice.
"IT IS I, THE KING OF THE GOBLINS!" she boomed again.
This is one of my earliest childhood memories: my mother reading the classic Chanukah picture book, Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins by Eric Kimmel. Trina Schart Hyman won a Caldecott Honor for her illustrations.
My mother had different voices for every character, from the squeakiest voice for the littlest goblin on the first night of Chanukah to the classic New York Jew accent for the rabbi's few lines. The Chanukah Guest (also by Eric A. Kimmel, illustrated by Ciora Carmi); Latkes and Applesauce: A Hanukkah Story by Fran Manushkin, illustrated by Robin Spowart; and an old book of collected Jewish folktales—the kind of book with yellowed pages, spot illustration line drawings, and a simple blue hardcover—were the only books with Jewish characters I remember being in the house during my childhood. While I loved the closeness I felt when cuddled up with my siblings listening to these seasonal tales read by my mother, and enjoyed the philosophical discussions with my father about the lessons imparted by the fables, the only other times I heard Jewish stories at home were in Bible stories and history lessons read during other Jewish holidays such as Passover and Purim.
Letters from Rifka. Number the Stars. The Upstairs Room. I devoured these books at school. They made me sick to my stomach and filled me with a morbid fascination. What personally would I have done during the Holocaust? What would I have had to endure? How quickly would I have died? I had nightmares. I still have nightmares.
In an effort to counter the sensationalized fiction, my mother gave me The Diary of Anne Frank. It was taken away from me by my teacher, and my mother was called into the principal's office. Did she know what her daughter was reading? they asked her.
"Yes," my mother responded, incredulous, furious. "I gave it to her."I started to keep a diary around that time. Later, I would earn my MFA in Writing Literature for Children. I can not overstate the impact journaling like Anne had on my emotional development, giving me an outlet to pour out those tender young feelings while exploring the written word. In high school, I sobbed for weeks—at home, at school—while reading Eli Wiesel's Night, Dawn, and Day trilogy. We had been assigned it in class. For the first time ever, I couldn't participate in class discussions; I couldn't speak past the pain. But I kept writing, catching my breath between sobs at the way horrors were described in the most beautiful turn of phrase. I contrasted these with Chaim Potok's dense yet seminal work The Chosen. Somehow a book about two boys, their relationships with their fathers, and their Orthodox and Hassidic religious practices failed to provide the comfort I was looking for, but it continued to showcase the richness of Jewish, self-descriptive language. It wasn't until many years later that as an adult, I read a book that began to put a balm over the raw edges of Jewish representation I had internalized through the books of my childhood, even as they taught me how to be a writer
Kerry Greenwood's Corinna Chapman series (Earthly Delights is the first book, and while intended for adults, is a great teenage crossover series for ages 15 and up) features a Rubenesque size 20 baker (three cheers for voluptuous woman representation!) who meets and has a ridiculously healthy and loving committed romantic relationship with an ex-Israeli soldier-turned-private detective named Daniel Cohen who is, in case you haven't guessed it, very much Jewish.
There are gentle insertions of his ethnicity and religion throughout the series: He calls Corinna ketschele, which means "kitten" in Yiddish, and other similar endearments; while making a meal Corinna wonders if he eats bacon (he does); he explains some history about Israeli/Palestinian relations (he has a scar from a bullet wound); and a secondary Jewish character, Uncle Solly, the nice old man who runs a New York-style deli who most certainly is NOT a Mossad agent, is later introduced during a subplot. There was something so simple and yet profound about the way Daniel's Israeli Jewishness was carried through his characterization and various plotlines that made the books feel immediately familiar, accessible, and more enjoyable to me as a reader. I devoured every book in the series. Twice.
"I can only imagine how much earlier I would have come to not only self-acceptance of, but also pride in, my Jewish queer identity, had I seen this modeled in books during my childhood."
This was one of the first examples I had ever encountered of a Jew, casually and yet profoundly Jewish, living happily as a Jew, outside of a Jewish community. It had taken me 30+ years to see even a portion of my own experience reflected in a book.
I did not have a Jewish community growing up, and I am still working on cultivating one as an adult. As a child, not only did I rarely meet another Jew outside of a family member, but my family actively experienced anti-Semitic rhetoric and actions. For a few brief teenage years, we were able to attend temple regularly. While this created a type of instant community for us that I had never experienced before or since, it also came with the experience of walking past armed guards, hired for our protection, when attending High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) services. In attending a memorial service at a temple in 2018 to mourn the mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue, I walked past armed guards again. Both in books, and in my own experience, being Jewish was something that was an undeniable part of a person's identity–it is in our blood, passed down through our mothers–and yet when acknowledged, was consistently marked by othering, discrimination, and fear.
I fervently wish that as I was growing up, I had been exposed to books featuring Jewish people and characters that weren't solely about Jewish holidays, the Holocaust, or both. In Earthly Delights, not only did I see fearless self-love in Daniel's character, but I was also able to see casual acceptance and even appreciation of him as Jewish in Corinna's role as his partner. I am lucky that in my own mixed-faith marriage, my wife accepts and supports my Jewish identity, joining me at events like the mourning ceremony in 2018. But I can only imagine how much earlier I would have come to not only self-acceptance of, but also pride in, my Jewish queer identity, had I seen this modeled in books during my childhood.
The musician Sean Altman has a Passover song called They Tried to Kill Us (We Survived, Let's Eat!), which is pretty much the short version of most Jewish holidays. But while we make light of it, when the majority of the representation you see about your culture is your people once again escaping some type of organized persecution, it's difficult to form a proud identity from that. This is why it is so crucial that we continue to write, publish, and highlight books featuring Jewish characters whose Jewishness is both an indelible part of their character and also not the primary purpose of the story. This is one of the goals I have with my own writing: To include Jewishness, queerness, immigration, and type 1 diabetes—experiences and identities that have greatly impacted my own life—in casual, positive, and even light-hearted ways in order to move beyond representing purely the struggles associated with these realities, and instead, encouraging normalization, acceptance, and celebration of them. Jews are so much more than their history of enslavement and persecution; we are so much more than our holidays. It is past time to see positive representations of Jewishness highlighted in books children can be proud of.

Surabela says
Wonderfully written and expressed! Yes, yes, and yes to all of that for Jewish identity beyond the commonly recognized events that define Jewish experience. I also hope that the same can come true for other cultures that find themselves narrowly defined in literature and in life by common, singular identifiers of events, or religious practices, or food, clothing, art, etc. when we are so much more than the sum of these parts.
This is wonderful, thank you for writing it. Growing up, I chose not to read The Diary of Anne Frank or any Elie Weisel, I think because by that point it was too much (I mean, by seventh grade I had already read Number the Stars, Devil's Arithmetic, and The Upstairs Bedroom). There are Jewish orgs that send out many of the books you listed to Jewish kids, and it's wonderful.

Q: MongoError when uploading a file using mongoose, gridfs-stream and multer I am running express 4 using multer, gridfs-stream and mongoose with mongodb and I am attempting to upload a file and stream it to gridfs.
The express route that does this is defined as:
app.post('/uploadfile', function (req, res) {
    console.dir(req.files);

    // The mongodb instance created when the mongoose.connection is opened
    var db = mongoose.connection.db;

    // The native mongo driver which is used by mongoose
    var mongoDriver = mongoose.mongo;

    // Create a gridfs-stream
    var gfs = new Gridfs(db, mongoDriver);

    var file = req.files.myFile;

    var fileId = new ObjectId();

    console.log("Creating WriteStream");
    var writeStream = gfs.createWriteStream({
        _id: fileId,
        filename: file.originalname,
        mode: 'w',
        content_type: file.mimetype,
        metadata: {
            id: '123',
            number: '2',
            name: "Kenny Erasmuson"
        }
     });
     console.log("Created WriteStream");
     req.pipe(writeStream);
     console.log("Finished!");
});

Once the express app is running, a file is selected and uploaded (via an HTML multipart/form-data form), and the output from the node server is:
$ node server.js
Listening on port 8001
{ myFile:
    { fieldname: 'myFile',

Has anyone any ideas what is causing the error and how to fix?

A: The problem lies in the fact that you aren't piping just a file request to gridfs-stream. Using Multer as a middleware with catch any multipart/form-data post request. As the stream comes in, Multer (built on Busboy) watches for the on('field') and on('file') events and parses accordingly. What you are piping to Multer is not just a file.
This bit of code works fine because Multer has indeed parsed out for you req.files and req.body by this point:
   // Create a gridfs-stream
   var gfs = new Gridfs(db, mongoDriver);

   var file = req.files.myFile;

   var fileId = new ObjectId();

   console.log("Creating WriteStream");
   var writeStream = gfs.createWriteStream({
        _id: fileId,
        filename: file.originalname,
        mode: 'w',
        content_type: file.mimetype,
        metadata: {
            id: '123',
            number: '2',
            name: "Kenny Erasmuson"
        }
     });
     console.log("Created WriteStream");

But where your code runs into problems is here for reasons mentioned above:
 req.pipe(writeStream);

I have yet to find a way to stream a multipart/form-data post request with more than just file uploads straight to GridFS. If your post request doesn't contain anything other than the file (meaning no other html input fields in the form), then you might want to consider removing Multer from the middleware at least for this route.
For my use case, I require the ability to receive an html form post with text inputs along with the file upload (I store metadata about the file on upload). Here is how I accomplished what I needed with Multer:
var uploadImg = function(req,res) {
      var writestream = gfs.createWriteStream({
        filename: req.files.file.name,
        mode:'w',
        content_type:req.files.file.mimetype,
        metadata:req.body,
      });
    fs.createReadStream(req.files.file.path).pipe(writestream);

    writestream.on('close', function (file) {
        res.send("Success!");
        fs.unlink(req.files.file.path, function (err) {
          if (err) console.error("Error: " + err);
          console.log('successfully deleted : '+ req.files.file.path );
        });
    });

};

By default, Multer will store your files on disk. One quick solution is to just create a readstream and stream it right back into GridFS. Once the writing is completed, remove the tmp file.
As a side note, there seems to be some thought going around that it's best to use Multer as middleware only on the routes that need it. You can read more on that thought on the last section of this.
Update
I think I am close to finding a way to stream directly to GridFS with metadata by use of Skipper. I'm in the process of seeing if I can't get some updates going to skipper-gridfs that will take the text inputs on the html form and set those as metadata, etc. The tweak to the skipper-gridfs seems pretty minor. I'll update when that gets flushed out. If you look at skipper be sure you recognize the order of your html form inputs (if you have any) does matter.

A: In my code:
var fileId = new ObjectId();

console.log("Creating WriteStream");
var writeStream = gfs.createWriteStream({
    _id: fileId,
    filename: file.originalname,
    mode: 'w',
    content_type: file.mimetype,
    metadata: {
        id: '123',
        number: '2',
        name: "Kenny Erasmuson"
    }
 });

I am assigning an ObjectId rather than the string representation of an ObjectId to the _id property of the object passed into gfs.createWriteStream. It turns out this is causing the MongoError in my code.
The fix, discovered here, is to change the line of code causing the issue to be:
_id: fileId.str,

Having done that I then came to the issue of the file not being put into the fs.chunks mongodb collection although the metadata does end up in the fs.files mongodb collection. AddieD's answer here starts to address this :)

The 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup will deliver a rematch of the previous edition's final after Thailand and Indonesia were drawn together in Group B on Wednesday.
In a glamorous draw in Jakarta, defending champions Thailand and 2016 runners-up Indonesia were pitted against each other, along with Philippines, Singapore and either Brunei Darussalam or Timor-Leste, who will face off in the qualifying playoff.
Meanwhile, Group A will see Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos lock horns for a top-two finish, which guarantees a semi-final berth.
Interestingly enough, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore were all in the same group back in 2016, as were Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar and Cambodia.
The only difference will be the addition of a fifth team in each group this year, as the ASEAN Football Federation expands the tournament to ten teams for only the second time in the competition's 22-year history.
The 2016 final rematch will take place on November 17 in Thailand, while Vietnam's clash with neighbours Myanmar on November 20 will also be one of the tournament's most eagerly-anticipated clashes.

Home | Information | Significance
The World Heritage concept was founded on a premise that certain places on earth are of outstanding universal value and as such should form part of a common heritage of human kind. Their splendor enriches our lives and illustrates the diversity of our planet and its inhabitants. The loss through deterioration or disappearance of any of these most prized possessions constitute the impoverishment of the heritage of all peoples in the world.
To ensure the proper identification, protection, conservation of the world's irreplaceable heritage, Member States of UNESCO adopted the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1972. Since then, 190 countries have ratified the treaty. It is not intended to provide protection to all properties of great interest, importance or value, but only for a select list of the most outstanding of these from an international viewpoint. To be deemed of Outstanding Universal Value, a property must also meet the conditions of integrity and/or authenticity and must have an adequate protection and management system to ensure its safeguarding.
The Convention defines the kind of cultural and natural sites which can be considered for inscription to the World Heritage List. By signing the convention, countries recognize that sites located in their national territories and which have been inscribed on the World Heritage List, without prejudice to national sovereignty or ownership constitute a world heritage. At present 962 properties are inscribed on the List – including 745 Cultural, 188 natural and 29 mixed sites. The Philippines has 3 cultural sites namely Baroque Churches of the Philippines, Rice Terraces of the Cordillera, Historic Town of Vigan, and 2 natural sites, the Tubbataha Reef Natural Park and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are novel critical regulators of cell proliferation and human disease, including diabetes mellitus and cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of circulating erythrocytes (E) miRNA-144 and miRNA-451 expression in African Americans Adults (AAA) as a biomarker of cell aging.
The blood samples were collected from healthy controls [n=9] following an 8-12 hours fast. Erythrocytes were purified twice by Boyum gradient. Erythrocytes were further sub-fractionated into young (y) (1.07-1.09 g/ml), mid (m) (1.09- 1.11 g/ml), and old (o) (1.11-1.12 g/ml) age cells by using discontinuous Percoll gradient (35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 65%, 80%, and 100%) and total RNA extracted. MiRNA-144 and miRNA-451 were quantified in y, m, and o age E sub-fractions by qRT-PCR.
MiRNA-451 expression was 82210.8271, 130922.476, and 149554.364 in y, m, and o cells, respectively. MiRNA-144 expression in y cells was 18.6641092, m cells was 32.4413621, and o cells was 57.8118394 These results showed that o cells expressed both miRNA-144 and miRNA-451 more than that of m, and y cells.
The findings of this study showed that miRNAs expression differ in sub-fractionated erythrocytes. This study suggests that miRNA-144 and miRNA-451 have the potential to be used as biomarkers of RBC aging.

Ingleby is a ghost town located in Haines Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is nearest to the town of Coburn and borders the Bald Eagle State Forest. Other nearby towns include Aaronsburg, Millheim, and Woodward. It was at one time also named Fowler.

Dr. Frank Barker erected a large house near the tracks of the Lewisburg and Tyrone Railroad, two miles east of hunting and fishing cottages, and the spot quickly became a popular resort known as Ingleby. The section of railroad passing through Ingleby was abandoned in 1970.  Today access is provided by Ingleby Road (State Route 2018, unpaved). Most of the land that made up the town of Ingleby is privately owned and not accessible to the public.

Jacqueline Melander, former president of the Centre County Historical Society, described Ingleby in a preliminary nomination to the National Register of Historic Places for the surrounding region to become a historic district ("Penns/Brush Valley Rural Historic District"). The nomination was not successful. The nomination was quoted in a 2006 regional planning outline:Above Coburn and surrounded by mountains, Penns Creek runs through the tiny settlement of Ingleby, once a flag station on the Lewisburg and Tyrone Railroad. Lumber and lumber products were carried out of the mountains, and railroad passenger service provided access to this scenic high valley. In the 1880s Dr. Frank Barker, a veterinarian, purchased 500 acres to lumber, establish fruit farms, and breed horses. He built a large home and opened a resort in the mountains, Barker's Resort for Health and Pleasure, and later sold land for cottages and hunting camps. Fowler was the railroad station name for this communityIngleby was not mentioned in the description for Haines Township in a post office directory published in Bellefonte, Pa for Centre County with data from the 1890 census. Additionally none of the Haines Township citizens are listed as residing in Ingleby or Fowler.

All those sing-along Celtic traditional songs you love, in a CD format so you can play it in the car or give it to your mom (I'll admit that neither my car nor my mom's car has a fancy MP3 player!).
Not only do you get the Call The Names CD, but you get a songbook with the music and lyrics for all the songs! Complete with my strange little doodles in the margins. What's not to love?
Despite the easy lure of synthesized sounds, I chose to use acoustic instruments wherever possible. Also, I decided to sing many of the songs in their original languages. Since I'm only fluent in two of them (I'll let you guess which two… hint: it's not Huron), my pronounciations are the result of book research; as such, I'd caution anyone from taking my pronounciations as gospel. The non-English lyrics are below, with the English translations available in the CD liner notes.
For my first studio CD I delved into the King Arthur legends using piano, cello, tin whistle, digeridoo and electric guitar. I could never have dreamed that my song "Mordred's Lullaby" would become a Youtube sensation with millions of views!
From live foot-stompers (Stone Soup, Crashing Down) to haunting new studio interpretations (Measure of a Man, Exile) here's a new twist on some of my favourite songs.
This little gem is what happens when you accidentally get booked to play a German heavy metal biker club. Oops. Undaunted, I was joined onstage by my bandmates Ben Deschamps and Heike Jurzik… and we got them dancing and crying and singing lustily along.

Picture of the Day: Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty) on Gunsmoke

Amanda Blake, Miss Kitty (Gunsmoke)
My parents and I had a weeknight routine that lasted for what seems like my entire childhood (all the way through high school and into college). We would go to our favorite diner or the Dairy Queen near our house and order takeout. Then we'd bring it home and feed our faces while we watched our beloved "friends" in Dodge City. Miss Kitty, Matt Dillon, Festus (0r Chester), Doc Adams, Sam, and Newly were always there for us and… with chili dog in hand… we were always there for them!
Every weeknight from 10:30-11:30 pm like clockwork.
I have no idea, today, how I was ever able to sleep with a chili dog (or hamburger), onion rings, and a Coke on my stomach (I'd be in serious pain now if I tried it!), but it was never anything but bliss.
I am still as in love with the show, today, as I was then and I love to think of my mom and dad gathered around a Heavenly television catching episodes whenever possible.
The Gunsmoke (link to dvds on Amazon) cast was phenomenal – the people in charge of casting were on top of their game… not just the excellent regulars, but the guest stars as well. Every role was always filled to perfection.

With the advent of digitalisation and connectivity in a sector such as lighting, new paradigms for interoperability between services are generated, which facilitate and improve the citizen experience. The street lighting network, because of its privileged location, can play a determining role. The street lighting network is visible in the most remote locations and covers almost every inhabited area worldwide. Its privileged position close to residents and thanks to its connection to the power grid not only provides the essential street lighting service, but also acts as the ideal platform from which to support many others. This is a major challenge given that this network must have a high availability ratio and provide a robust service, for which it is necessary to carry out an adequate deployment. In return, it allows us to have interoperability between the different urban services, to be more efficient in the management of them and to provide them to the citizen with higher quality.
Water supply is one of the most important urban services in a city. Its proper management is a guarantee of water quality, of the sustainability of the service through the optimization of resources as well as a correct quantification and valuation of the cost of said infrastructure. Currently there are advanced systems for the measurement of water flows, both for human and industrial consumption. Many of these systems incorporate data acquisition and transmission capabilities. However, this is not always easy since these systems often have important limitations such as the use of limited lifetime batteries, the lack of connection to the electricity grid or their location in places of difficult access or in the absence wired or wireless connectivity. All this makes it difficult or expensive to manage the valuable data provided by these systems.
We will describe, through a practical case, how to facilitate the acquisition and transport of data from water meters through the use of a nearby street lighting enabled communications network.


Tim Brown stood quietly near the back of the California Highway Patrol gymnasium, his fist clinched and resting comfortably under his chin. He watched, almost embarrassingly, as video highlights of his college football years at Notre Dame and then later as an All-Pro wide receiver with the Oakland Raiders roared through the gym speakers.
Brown, the 1987 Heisman Trophy winner and 2015 Pro Football Hall of Famer, told participants at the 19th annual 9-1-1 for Kids/CHP Tm Brown Mentor Mini Camp that this "is my favorite week of the whole year." As the International Chairman of 9-1-1 for Kids, Brown has assisted more than 5 million children and teens through mentoring and educational programs, including his mentor mini camp and heroes awards ceremony.
Cal OES Director Mark Ghilarducci presented Brown with a joint resolution from the California State Legislature declaring April 21 as 9-1-1 for Kids Tim Brown Mentor Mini Camp Day. Ghilarducci also reminded participants of the importance of using 9-1-1 correctly, as well as when and when not to call 9-1-1 and what to say to the dispatcher.
"Believe it or not, of these over 24 million calls that are made to 9-1-1 centers throughout the state, at least half are non-emergencies," Ghilarducci said.
After Brown and Ghilarducci spoke, CHP cadets warmed up the participants with a quick 5-minute exercise before separating into groups and exiting the gymnasium out back to the spacious football field on the academy's grounds in West Sacramento. There, mentors and mentees worked together on football drills, with Brown throwing passes to some of the wide-eyed youth receivers.
The previous day, Brown and 9-1-1 for Kids honored dispatchers and youth at the 2017 California State 9-1-1 Heroes Awards ceremony on the west steps of the State Capitol in downtown Sacramento. Dispatchers Breann Nicholas and Nicolee Wall-Stitt of the CHP Truckee Communications Center and Mary Nelson of San Ramon Valley 9-1-1, as well youth hero Karel Martin, were recognized for their response in life-saving emergencies.
Nicholas and Wall-Stitt were involved in the same emergency earlier this year when commuters were trapped in an avalanche in two separate incidents in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Nicholas was able to obtain a specific location, vehicle description and number of trapped occupants before transferring the call to Cal FIRE. In a similar predicament, Wall-Stitt also relayed critical information to the North Tahoe Fire District Snow Rescue Team to free the victims within 45 minutes.
Martin, a 9-year-old from San Ramon, worked together with Nelson to save Martin's mother, who suffered from acute abdominal pain. As Martin was being dropped off at school on the morning of January 10, 2017, his mother suddenly began to have severe abdominal pain and soon was unable to speak or move. She also began vomiting.
Martin quickly grabbed his mother's phone and dialed 9-1-1. Through clear communication from Martin, the dispatcher was able to gather all of the necessary information in order to provide Martin's mother with the appropriate emergency response to save her life.

Fontana delle Tartarughe (Schildpaddenfontein) is een fontein aan de Piazza Mattei in de wijk (rione) Sant'Angelo in de Italiaanse hoofdstad Rome.

De familie Mattei, die haar paleis aan het plein had, gaf in 1581 opdracht voor de bouw van de fontein naar een ontwerp van Giacomo della Porta. Na vervaardiging van de bronzen door Taddeo Landini (± 1550/1561 - 1596), werd de fontein in 1588 in gebruik genomen. Aan de beelden van vier efebes, in identieke maar gespiegelde houdingen gezeten op kleine dolfijnen, werden bij een restauratie in 1658 vier schildpadden toegevoegd door Gianlorenzo Bernini of Andrea Sacchi. Het lijkt of de efeben ze omhoog duwen om te drinken.

Oorspronkelijk zou een deel in marmer worden uitgevoerd, een steensoort die betrekkelijk snel erodeert onder invloed van water. Ook waren er in eerste instantie acht dolfijnen, maar vier extra spuitmonden namen te veel van de waterdruk weg. De bovenste dolfijnen werden elders gebruikt en hun vermoedelijke plaats later ingenomen door de schildpadden.

De schildpadden zijn meermaals gestolen en ten slotte door de stad Rome overgebracht naar de Capitolijnse Musea. De schildpadden die nu te zien zijn in de fontein zijn in feite kopieën.

Insulin: Researchers reported in the Cell Press Journal that adjusting the clock through dietary manipulation can help people lose weight. They also found that insulin could be involved in resetting the clock. Insulin helps the stomach's clock sync with mealtimes, thereby helping the bodies' entire circadian clock sync with daily sleep-wake cycle.
Eating carbohydrate-rich food like pasta, which promotes insulin secretion, for dinner can shift our biological clock into the sleep stage (which, for someone who is trying to lose weight is bad because the meal does not get enough time to be digested).
Metabolism: People who work night-shifts will have a tougher time losing weight. When the sun goes down, your metabolic rate goes down. Your body's internal clock is hardwired to sleep and not consume high calorie foods late at night. According to Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, the body is designed to optimally digest when the sun is at its apex in the sky. If you must, reserve your carbs, fats, and sugars for consumption between noon and 1.30pm, because that is your peak metabolic window.
Temperature: Our metabolism is also linked to our body temperature, which is why it makes sense to eat well in the morning and afternoon, keeping the evening meal relatively small. Focus on having a robust breakfast, and a smaller, early dinner (before sundown).
Dinner should be about easy-on-the-stomach meals that aid digestion.
Finish your meal, preferably about four hours before you hit the sack; it will give your body enough time to digest the meal before slipping into rest mode.
Food choices are very important. Keep your fat-intake to a bare minimum, and should you choose to use binding foods like bread, wheat, flour and the likes at this hour, make sure you compensate with an ultra-healthy prep or low-cal alternates.
Focus on protein and fiber instead. These two components will keep you feeling full for longer periods, and will minimize your midnight snacking.
Protein is an important dinner ingredient as it helps rebuild cells, which enables muscle recovery and tissue repair when the body is resting.
Fiber should make up 8g of dinner, and protein should be around 20-25g. If you stick to these numbers, you are poised for weight loss in terms of dinner prep.
With these things in mind, understand that while breakfast is the most important meal to kick-start your day and keep you energy levels up, dinner plays a more vital role when it comes to building muscles and keeping calories in check by regulating your body's restorative, reparative and detoxing functions.

I wrote last week about the Legal Basics courses being transferred over from our Moodle training site.
Having started moving them over I have been on a bit of a roll and there are now four more making seven in total. Unlike the video courses, these are available to all members.
Tort – an unfamiliar term meaning 'civil wrong'. Probably the best known is the tort of negligence.
Trust & Equity – this course introduces concepts which under pin other areas of law such as land law and agency law.
Agency law – very important for letting agents!
This is the longest Legal Basics course and goes into quite a lot of detail about agency law and how it works.
I have included it though as a 'legal basics' course as it is such an important topic and appears to be poorly understood by all other than a few lawyers.
If you are a letting agent then I would urge you in particular to at least skim read it as the rules there underpin your very business. They apply to you whether you know about them or not.
The new rules coming in with the Tenant Fees Act do not change the agency law fundamentals by the way. They just restrict the costs that agents can charge to third parties (tenants).
I don't propose to add any more Legal Basics courses for the time being.
However, if there are any topics that you would like added, please can you post your suggestion (if you are a member) on the members' forum area.
Whats your opinion? Got any questions?


The writer added, "In two weeks, you'll be able to get Street View this way, too, says Google." But Google, on the other hand, refused to confirm the news and said that they cannot confirm it at present as they do not have anything to announce.
If the reports are true then it would be good news for the IOS upgraders who were recently disappointed by the Apple's disappointing new Maps service. Last week Apple launched its Maps application.
But the launch had met with several criticism for its inaccurate locations and directions along with the lack of public transport information. The search engine giant, on September 26, 2012, said that it will not be bringing its Google Maps app back to IOS 6 anytime soon. This might be a good move on Google's part as it might draw the users away from IOS to its Google Maps equipped Android Operating System.

Geld - uff, used to be für ein Thema! Wichtig, ja, nervt aber auch. Überall wird drüber gesprochen. Werbung, Konsum, kaufen, kaufen, kaufen. Will ich zu Hause nicht haben, da muss Platz für echte Werte sein. Und unsere Kinder sind eh noch zu klein dafür, das kommt noch früh genug.
Meistens handeln wir nicht einmal bewusst so, aber die Wirkung ist dieselbe: Kinder machen keine Erfahrungen, können keine Routinen einüben - und befinden sich in ihrem Leben ganz plötzlich an einem Punkt, an dem sie Entscheidungen treffen müssen, für die sie keine Grundlagen haben.
In diesem Buch geht es nicht um die große Welt des bösen Kapitals. Es geht um das, was once jeden von uns im Alltag begleitet - ob wir wollen oder nicht. Kirstin Wulf vertreibt den Nebel, der dieses Thema ebenso wie unsere Gefühle dazu umgibt. Sie ermuntert ihre Leserinnen und Leser, dass es eigentlich gar nicht viel braucht, um Geld auch schon für kleine Kinder zu enträtseln.
"Kirstin Wulf geht ein wichtiges Thema an, denn über Geld sprechen heißt vor allem, grundsätzliche Lebenskompetenzen zu erwerben."
Ingrid Stahmer, struggle u. a. Senatorin für Soziales, Jugend und Schule in Berlin, steht heute der Landesarmutskonferenz Berlin als Sprecherin vor.

After Prince Harry's girlfriend Meghan Markle was spotted wearing rings by Missoma, the British jewellery brand saw a significant surge in sales.
The fashion industry is very familiar with the 'Kate effect', with items worn by the Duchess often selling out, but now it appears fashion choices made by the prince's new girlfriend are driving sales too.
The internet went into melt down when photographers spotted Markle wearing delicate stacking rings during a trip out in London.
With a more frugal taste in jewellery, consumers jumped at the chance to buy the same jewellery as Markle when it was revealed the rings in question were from British jewellery brand Missoma's Nexus collection and were priced at an affordable £59 for the 18ct double arrow band.
Missoma's phones were ringing off the hook and the brand's website saw a surge of 5,000 visitors to its website within hours of the photographs of Markle wearing the rings being published.
The star has previously posted Instagram pictures of her wearing other pieces from the brand, including an 18ct gold vermeil engraved Bar necklace with inset diamond , costing just £125, engraved with her name.

The 'holy grail' of dinosaurs has been discovered
This is the 'edge piece that you use to help figure out what the picture is'
Dan Meyer
The discovery of the fossilised remains of a new species of dinosaur in the Sahara Desert has been described as a crucial "edge piece" of a largely unfinished palaeontological jigsaw depicting African dinosaurs.
The remains of Mansoursaurus shahinae — a long-necked plant-eater around the size of a school bus, with bony plates in its skin — were unearthed in Egypt during a Mansoura University student expedition led by Hesham Sallam.
Eric Gorscak, a contributor to the study — published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution — said it was a "critical discovery for Egyptian and African palaeontology".
"Africa remains a giant question mark in terms of land-dwelling animals at the end of the age of dinosaurs," he said. "Mansourasaurus helps us address long-standing questions about Africa's fossil record and palaeobiology – what animals were living there, and to what other species were these animals most closely related?"Study co-author Matt Lamanna, of Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, US, said: "When I first saw the pics of the fossils my jaw hit the floor. This was the holy grail — a well-preserved dinosaur from the end of the age of dinosaurs in Africa — that we palaeontologists had been searching for for a long time."
Sallam and his team have determined that Mansourasaurus was more closely related to dinosaurs from Europe and Asia than those from Southern Africa and South America.
Researchers said the discovery went a long way to uncovering the mystery of Africa's connection to the land masses of Europe and Asia before the supercontinent of Pangaea split, as it showed dinosaurs could move between Africa and Europe towards the end of their time on earth.
"Africa's last dinosaurs weren't completely isolated, contrary to what some have proposed," Gorscak said. "There were still connections to Europe."
Gorscak likened the discovery to finding the "edge piece that you use to help figure out what the picture is".
Sallam said the discovery was an "amazing experience" for his team. "It was thrilling for my students to uncover bone after bone, as each new element we recovered helped to reveal who this giant dinosaur was.
"What's exciting is that our team is just getting started. Now that we have a team of well-trained vertebrate palaeontologists here in Egypt, with easy access to important fossil sites, we expect the pace of discovery to accelerate in years to come."
The course of dinosaur evolution in Africa has remained largely unknown because lush vegetation covers much of the land where fossils may be found.

Katie Hill
Katie Hill Speaks Out On Resignation: 'I'm Hurt. I'm Angry.'
Amy Russo
Former U.S. Representative from California
Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.), who announced her resignation from Congress on Sunday amid accusations of sexual relationships with staffers, is speaking out about her decision, vowing to fight back against "revenge porn" after nude photos of her were leaked to conservative media.
"I'm hurt. I'm angry," Hill said in a taped statement released Monday. "The path that I saw so clearly for myself is no longer there. I've had moments where I've wondered what the last three years of my life were for, and if it was worth it."
Days before the freshman congresswoman announced she would step down, a House Ethics Committee probe was launched into unproven allegations that she violated the chamber's rules by having an affair with her legislative director ― a claim she had denied.
Hill has, however, admitted to having had an "inappropriate" relationship with a campaign employee while running for Congress. She has also apologized.
"I never claim to be perfect," she said in her latest statement. "But I never thought that my imperfections would be weaponized and used to try to destroy me and the community that I have loved for my entire life. For that, I am so incredibly sorry."
Last week, intimate photos of Hill were published by right-wing blog RedState and the Daily Mail. The congresswoman, who is facing a contentious divorce, blamed political operatives and her husband.
Hill described the spread of the images as a "coordinated campaign" by her adversaries, slamming it as "disgusting and unforgivable" and warning that the perpetrators "will be held accountable."
"I will fight to ensure that no one else has to live through what I just experienced," she said. "Some people call this electronic assault, digital exploitation, others call it revenge porn. As the victim of it, I call it one of the worst things that we can do to our sisters and our daughters."
Hill has not specified the date on which she will formally resign, though those familiar with the matter told Politico she might vacate her seat as soon as Nov. 1.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has since addressed Hill's resignation as the right move, stating, "She has acknowledged errors in judgment that made her continued service as a Member untenable."
Ending her recent remarks with a message of resilience, Hill vowed that she would "not allow my experience to scare off other young women or girls from running for office."
"I grew up riding horses, and the most important thing that I learned was that when you fall off, you have to get right back up in the saddle," she said. "So I'm going to do that."

Unlimited Data In Canada? Good Luck With That One
Councillors last week voted 27 in favour, four opposed and six absent in favour of making a motion to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. They pointed to the unlimited data plans now proliferating in the United States and expressed exasperation that such offers aren't available here. Uh, good luck with that.

Bell Is Losing The War With 'Game Of Thrones' Pirates
CBC ran a story this weekend about HBO's angry letter blitz, where the network has been sending out copyright notices to Canadians asking them to please stop pirating Game of Thrones. There are plenty of legit ways to get the acclaimed fantasy adventure show, the network says -- except that there aren't.
Justin Trudeau Is Just Not Ready to Take on Cellphone Bills
The new PM will be a breath of fresh air on the environment -- it's impossible to be any worse than his predecessor -- and he will take the leash off federal scientists, or so he has promised. However, one area the Liberals aren't expected to deliver any good news in are telecommunications services.
Harper's New 'Anti-Terrorism' Bill Will Create a Climate of Self-Censorship
The Harper government's newly introduced "anti-terrorism" legislature, Bill C-51, has been roundly condemned as an assault on privacy and free speech -- and rightly so. Besides hunting down would-be terrorists, the new laws could be used to stifle dissent, remove due process and lead to the creation of a secret police force, critics say. In a supposedly enlightened and democratic country such as Canada, these would be unwelcome developments to say the least. But there is a deeper cost to eroding privacy than just the spurring of undesirable changes in external entities such as courts and communications networks. Also at stake is the very freedom of Canadians to internally determine who they are and want to be.

Wireless Roaming in Canada: A Lot of Meaningless Choice
Here's a crazy idea when it comes to wireless roaming: how about Canadians being able to use their one and only cellphones with the same single numbers in whatever countries they want at a reasonable cost without having to jump through all kinds of hoops? No one is expecting to use them for the same price as at home, but not paying through the teeth for the privilege would be nice.
The Country Most Gouged By Telecom Companies? Canada
Bank of America's Global Wireless Matrix is packed with thorough statistics on virtually every carrier in 50 developed and developing countries. The regular report is the most accurate measure and comparison of wireless carriers around the world, which is probably why the Canadian industry and its allies don't want the public to see it. The report details just how well they're doing and does much to prove that Canadians are indeed paying high prices.
iPhone 5 Canada: The Dysfunction Of Three-Year Contracts
The painful reality of Canadian cellphone service has once again come to the forefront this week. When Apple chief executive officer Tim Cook unveiled the updated pricing for the company's new lineup of iPhones on Wednesday, led by the iPhone 5, he pointed out that the suggested prices were on two-year contracts. That's the norm in most countries, but it's of course not the case in Canada.

CRTC Chair Crossed Harper Government Too Many Times
Konrad von Finckenstein has a pretty good resume for someone who's looking to prove their independent thinking, which is a good trait if you're an entrepreneur, but not so much for a government-appointed bureaucrat.
