Applications are now open for this year's European Media Artists in Residence Exchange programme (EMARE), enabling European artists to collaborate on projects and create closer bonds between European media art organisations.
In partnership with the European Media Art Platform, FACT invites residency applications from artists dealing working in digital media, including Internet and computer-based artists, filmmakers, and those working in media based performance, sound, video, robotics and bio-art. The residency includes a 3,000 Euro grant, 4,000 Euro project budget, funded accommodation and travel expenses up to 500 Euros. In addition to funding, the artist will be granted access to FACT Lab facilities, professional guidance, and presentation opportunities.
FACT welcomes all proposals, but would particularly invite applications from artists whose research and practice concerns Gender Representation and Labour, or Intersectional Feminism.
The residency will take place over 2 months within Spring or Summer 2019, depending on the theme of your project.
Through the residency period the artist will be granted access to FACT Lab equipment and workshop space. See below for further details.
Artists with EU passport can apply for a two-months residency within April and August 2019 (exact timing has to be negotiated with the host) at one of the host institutions.
Undergraduate and Master's students are not eligible, but emerging artists, regardless of age, are encouraged to apply.
Artists groups are welcome to apply, if they are willing to share project resources including the accommodation, grant and project budget. Based on limited resources, only one artist per group may be invited to the networking conference and group shows.

Target Goes on a Media Blitz to Apologize for E-Commerce Security Breach
Target is working overtime to make it right with its customers.
Alyssa Vingan Klein
News about the Target credit card security breach seems to get worse by the day -- on Friday, it was reported that over 70 million shoppers had their personal information stolen from the retailer's database -- and the company is working around the clock in an attempt to earn back its customers' trust.
On Monday morning, Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel sat down for a long interview with CNBC, hoping to shed a bit more light on the tense situation. Due to having malware installed on Target's point of sale registers, Steinhafel is aware that there's a large possibility that his customers will face credit card fraud, which is why Target is making sure that its shoppers have zero liability: Not only will Target pay for any fraudulent charges made on the card of a victim of the data breach, it is offering credit monitoring services free of charge.
In addition to the televised interview -- and a series of videos on Target's website that address the situation in detail -- Target took out a full-page ad in the New York Daily News (hat tip: Mashable) in order to further address his customers, which is interesting (or perhaps mistargeted) considering this was a digital breach. Read the full letter below.

Customers Having a (Sea) Cow Over Target 'Manatee Gray' Plus Size Mix-Up
Who doesn't like manatees? They're slow. They're cute. They kind of look like they're smiling. It's fun to feed them lettuce. But you probably don't want to wear a dress that evokes the appearance of one. I bring this valuable information to you in the slow, gentle wake (appropriate for a manatee zone) of a recent blip in the otherwise pretty politically-correct history of Target. Recently, Susan Clemens, an eagle-eyed customer with arguably much better vision than a manatee, was perusing the superstore's various offerings when she came across a most disheartening discovery: A Mossimo maxi dress available in both regular and plus sizes, in identical color palettes, was labeled in two very different ways: namely, 'Dark Heather Gray' and 'Manatee Gray,' respectively. Are you totally having a (sea) cow right now?

On a freezing winter's night, a few hours before dawn on 12 May 1969, security police stormed the Soweto home of Winnie Mandela and detained her in the presence of her two young daughters, then aged eight and ten. Rounded up in a group of other anti-apartheid activists under Section 6 of the Terrorism Act, designed for the security police to hold and interrogate people for as long as they wanted, she was taken away. This was the start for Winnie Mandela of a 491-day period of detention and two trials. Forty-one years after her release on 14 September 1970, Greta Soggot, the widow of David Soggot, one of Winnie Mandela's advocates during the 1969/1970 trials, handed her a stack of papers that included a journal and notes that she had written in detention. 491 Days: Prisoner number 1323/69 shares with the world Winnie Mandela's moving and compelling journal as well as some of the letters written between affected parties at the time. Readers gain insight into the brutality she experienced, her depths of despair as well as her resilience and defiance under extreme pressure.

What's the Difference? Mold vs. Mildew
Though these two potentially harmful household fungi are often talked about in the same breath, they each have unique traits that can help you tell them apart.
By Savannah Sher | Updated Mar 11, 2021 1:16 PM
There's a lot of confusion about the difference between mold and mildew, likely because of how much these two organisms have in common. In fact, mildew is simply a particular type of mold. Both mold and mildew are fungi that thrive in moist environments, and both often are found in the home, especially in damp areas that have been subjected to water damage.
While mold and mildew have many similarities, some key characteristics also differentiate them—and dictate how to get rid of them. Read on to learn more about the differences of mold vs. mildew.
Don't Leave Your Health to Chance
Mold testing and removal pros are just a click away. Get free, no-commitment project estimates from experts near you.
Mold looks slimy or fuzzy, while mildew is powdery.
It's important to figure out whether you're dealing with mold or mildew, and luckily the two types of fungi differ in appearance, making them easier to identify. Mildew usually looks white or gray and dry, or even powdery. It always appears flat. Mold, on the other hand, often is raised and can be green, red, blue, or black. Plus, it generally looks either slimy or fuzzy.
Another way to identify the difference is by smell. Mildew has a milder, musty smell that some compare to damp socks, but mold smells stronger and more pungent. The reason mold has a more powerful odor is that as it grows, it produces microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs).
RELATED: 14 Surprising Places Where Mold Hides in the Home
Mold burrows, but mildew grows on the surface.
Both mold and mildew can appear on natural materials like wood, paper, or leather. In the home, they're most likely to show up in damp areas like basements, bathroom walls, and anywhere with past water damage. Mildew, in particular, thrives in humidity—a relative humidity between 62 and 93 percent is ideal for growth—which is why you'll see it in shower stalls and on windowsills.
Need Mold Removal?
Mold removal is best left to the pros. Get free, no-commitment project estimates from experts near you.
Temperature also matters, with mildew generally reproducing when temperatures range between 77 and 88 degrees. Mildew is a surface fungi, so it's easy to spot in those moist areas, and leads to less damage. Mold, on the other hand, is more insidious and burrows underneath the surface, making it harder to eliminate.
Mildew can cause some health effects but effects from mold—especially black mold—are more severe.
Health risks some with the presence of both mold and mildew, but the effects of mold—especially black mold, or Stachybotrys chartarum—are much more severe. People can suffer mild respiratory problems, sore throats, and headaches from mildew. Mold, on the other hand, can affect the nervous system and result in memory loss, headaches, mood changes, and depression. Mold also can cause skin and eye irritation, congestion, respiratory illnesses, and general aches and pains. Because of this, eliminating both mold and mildew as soon as they're detected is essential.
RELATED: 3 Steps to Remove Mildew from Your Home Exterior
Mildew can be removed with household products and cleaners, but removing mold is more complicated.
A major difference between mold and mildew is how to eliminate each. Standard household cleaning products and a scrubbing brush work on mildew, which exists on surfaces. Once a fungus has been identified as mold, however, it's important to establish what kind of mold it is because the procedure for removing it varies depending on the type. Some types of mold can be removed with bleach or specialized cleaning products while wearing protective gear like a mask and goggles. Others, namely Stachybotrys chartarum, require hiring a mold removal professional.

After hearing Tim Ferriss rave about mushroom coffee for months, I bought a tin of the Four Sigmatic Mushroom Matcha drink mix off of Amazon and I've been mixing it into some coconut milk or almond milk in the mornings with honey, instead of having coffee! It really does give you a pleasant buzz without the anxiety coffee leaves behind. It's bitter like matcha can be, but apparently lion's mane mushrooms are like whoaaaaaa good for you? Anyway—I love the taste and ritual of coffee way too much to ever give it up for good, but I think this stuff is a good alternative.

Does anyone have an ideas on what the best way to serve the download would be? I know that currently anyone who had the file location could download the file but I'm not sure how I could go about protecting i

A: I am glad you have made it this far!
If you are going to redirect the user to a download script, that script would need to have some sort of token attached to it as to prevent unauthorized downloads, basically re-verifying the code or token given.
In the above script, instead of outputting the javascript to redirect to the download script you could do this:
<?php

include "scripts/dcr_config.php";
$code = "";
$log  = "";

if (isset($_POST['harrisSubmit'])) {
    $code = trim($_POST['code']);

    $link = mysql_connect ( $hostname, $dbusername, $dbpassword );
    mysql_select_db ( "$databasename" );

    $code = mysql_real_escape_string($code); // very important! protects against exploits

    $query = "select count from $harris where code='$code'";
    if ($q = mysql_query ( $query )) {
        if ($r = mysql_fetch_array ( $q )) {
            if ($r [0] < 3) {
                $subquery = "update $tbname set count='" . ($r [0] + 1) . "' where code='$code'";
                mysql_query ( $subquery );

                $file = '/path/to/protecteddownload.txt';

                // send file to browser as a download dialog
                // no content can be output prior to these header() calls
                header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
                header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.txt"');
                header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
                header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
                header("Expires: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");

                echo file_get_contents($file);
                exit; // terminate script
            } else {
                $log = 'Sorry, this code has already been redeemed.';
            }
        } else {
            $log = 'Invalid download code.  Try again.';
        }
    } else {
        // query failed
        $log = 'An error occurred validating your code, please try again later.';
    }

    $log = "
Invalid code. Try Again.
";
}

?>

<?php if (isset($log) && $log != ''): ?>
<?php echo $log ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The download script is probably similar to some of what I have above.
The key thing about this example is that the file you are serving with file_get_contents, is not accessible from the web.  You only send it when a valid code is entered.

A: I have just 1 quick question, how big is this file? Could this be a case that the php timeout is being experienced while reading the file to the browser?
You could play around with the php settings to confirm this (http://php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php).
Just my 2 cents

5 Things Every Foreign Worker Must Consider Before Changing Jobs August 14, 2017
International Entrepreneur Rule (Parole) Suffers the Trump Effect July 11, 2017
Can President Trump Unilaterally Change the H-1B Program?
March 28, 2017 August 10, 2019 ByAnn Cun
There's a lot of chatter about changes to the H-1B program much of which are based on rumors and not facts; these include a rumor about a draft Executive Order that would alter this popular visa program, and various statutes introduced by Congress to revise the H-1B program. However, as of today, nothing has actually changed about the H-1B program. In fact, USCIS will be accepting H-1B petitions for the lottery this year starting April 3, 2017. That's less than a week away. So why all the confusion and chatter?
There's uncertainty because there's a grave lack of understanding as to how our immigration rules work, and what powers a President may have to change existing H-1B laws.
Why the Law Matters
The H-1B visa's existence is because of a statute. Congress passed multiple bills in the last century concerning immigration that eventually became laws of our land. The last iteration on H-1B visas was revised in 2004, and provided for how many H-1B visas were to be issued, what types of fees would be paid, and what wage requirements would need to be paid to foreign workers.
If the H-1B visa program exists because a statute was passed and signed into law, then the program shall too be altered or cease to exist by the same method. Hence, that's why you have various politicians angling to introduce bills that may someday get passed, signed into law and become a new statute to supersede the latest one.
Congress creates. Therefore, Congress must alter or destroy. (Last time I checked, Congress had a really hard time agreeing on anything much….)
Then Why the Talk about Presidential Executive Orders?
Some might wonder why all the talk about Executive Orders if Congress controls what ultimately happens to the H-1B program.
In any given statute, there will be certain portions that aren't explicitly written in detail. When this happens, the statute will typically and explicitly designate a federal authority to "fill-in-the-blanks" by empowering them to establish regulations that will help execute the intent of the law. It is under this vein, that the U.S. President can provide guidance, priorities, and direction to those designated federal authorities.
Under the current immigration statute, though, there's not very much room for maneuvering by the President. The statute requires employers to pay H-1B workers at least the prevailing wage. Also, if the prevailing wage is made available to the public (which it is), then the prevailing wage must contain at least 4 levels of wages.
Theoretically, there could be room to impose a filing fee for the Labor Condition Application (a prerequisite filing with the Department of Labor prior to submitting an H-1B petition to Immigration). There could also be room for the Department of Labor to require an employer to conduct a labor market test (force employers to advertise to hire U.S. workers only), before it would agree to certify a Labor Condition Application. Theoretically, the President could impose this in an Executive Order. Though, both plans may fail if challenged in court, simply because it may exceed the authority of the Agency, since Congress did not contemplate these processes in the statute.
Therein lies the challenge with the how much power a President could wield through an Executive Order. The President's primary role is to guide federal agencies in carrying out the law. Until Congress can act to reform the laws, we may not see very much change with the H-1B program yet.

English Shepherd Dog Names
The English Shepherd is a working dog that belongs to the Collie family. This particular dog can be considered a "Made in America" dog. The breed descends from Scottish and English farm dogs brought to America between the eighteenth and nineteenth century. This dog can be described as quite versatile; they are working dogs on farms and ranches. They also hunt for vermin in addition to guarding the homestead. These pooches are extremely intelligent and loyal to their families. However, the English Shepherd can be very independent, which can be challenging for their owners. To prevent mischief, this breed should receive ample activity, such as playing fetch.
English Shepherd Dog Names in Pop Culture
Featured Famous English Shepherd Dog
Bobbie the Wonder Dog
The English Shepherd was, according to the notable author Leon Whitney, one of the most popular breeds of dog in America during the early twentieth century. In fact, Whitney said of the dog breed, " ...known variously as the farm shepherd, the barnyard collie, the old fashioned shepherd, the cow dog, the English Shepherd and by other colloquial names... I doubt there is a more alert, trustworthy, or American dog." (qtd. from Whitney's book How to Breed Dogs). Certainly, as times change, so do the needs of dog owners. While the English Shepherd may not be the most popular dog in America (a title arguably held by the Labrador Retriever, a working dog in their own right) it is likely Whitney was inspired to write these lines about the English Shepherd due to the story of Bobbie the Wonder Dog, an English Shepherd mix who was determined to find his way home to his family after becoming lost during a family vacation.
Bobbie the Wonder Dog didn't start life as an exceptional dog; he earned the title. Bobbie's owners, Frank and Elizabeth Brazier, took Bobbie on a family vacation to Indiana. While out and about playing, Bobbie encountered three unfriendly dogs, and he ran away out of fear. The Braziers looked for Bobbie everywhere (and for several days), but he was nowhere to be found. The Braziers reluctantly returned home to Oregon, without any hope of every seeing Bobbie again. They were in for a pleasant surprise. Bobbie showed up at their family home six months later.
Bobbie is thought to have made a trip that encompassed a little over 2,500 miles. That in itself is a "wonder," but that is only a small portion of what this faithful fellow did to return home to his family. Bobbie showed evidence of having swum across large bodies of water, in particular, many of the treacherous rivers between Indiana and Oregon. He is also thought to have crossed the Continental Divide during the winter. (To make a comparison, the Donner party attempted this crossing but were snowed in and many of these pioneers lost their lives as a result). Bobbie arrived back at his home very thin and rather dirty plus his nails had been worn down. Bobbie's story was published in newspaper articles and made famous by the Ripley's Believe It or Not writers. The family would learn that Bobbie did have some help along the way. Bobbie was fed and sheltered by a number of families along his route, who later contacted the Braziers after reading about Bobbie's return. Experts think that somehow Bobbie was able to pick up their scent and find his way home.
English Shepherd Dog Name Considerations
The English Shepherd is a sweet and lovable dog. They are also protective of their family members as well as very active. The English Shepherd will enjoy spending time indoors with you at night, but, during the day, the dog is happiest out among the farm animals, running and herding them on the property. It is because of these characteristics that the English Shepherd should be given names that mean loyal, kind or have to do with a hard-working individual. Names such as this include Dillon for a male and Shelby for a female.
The English Shepherd is also highly independent. Alex, Billy, and Kai all have meanings related to independent characteristics. For females, Bess and Belle are suitable names for your English Shepherd. The English Shepherd is a working dog, and they are tireless. Abby and Amelia are great names for the hardworking English Shepherd female. For males, Darren is a great way of depicting the working nature of the English Shepherd.
Of course, you might rather choose a common dog name for your English Shepherd such as Max or Sam. Names such as this make training much easier for the hardworking English Shepherd.

A Tribal Games
When anthropologists first wrote about the institution of potlatch, they caused astonishment, even bemusement. Potlatch was a bizarre form of social interaction in a number of primitive communities around the Pacific, which continued into the early 20th century. Perhaps the best example was provided by the Indian tribes on the American north-west coast. According to Ruth Benedict, in her 1934 classic Patterns of Culture, much interesting detail had been recorded about "the Kwakiutl of Vancouver Island".
In her words, their motivations "centred around the will to superiority". Superiority could be established most notably by the accumulation of "nobility titles". Individuals could pass on such titles — acquired by marriage, during initiation rites and so on — down the generations, so that some especially great families had titles that went back to "the origin of the world". The purpose of accumulating nobility titles was "to shame rivals". Like other peoples, the Kwakiutl wanted to win, even if their definition of winning might seem — at first glance — a little peculiar to us.
Even odder, again at first glance, was the Kwakiutl stratagem for maintaining superiority at the potlatch ceremonies. Top-ranking individuals, were expected to demonstrate their superiority by what Benedict described as "conspicuous waste". Either they gave away goods to others on an enormous scale or they engaged in wanton destruction. The more generous the donation of gifts, and the more extensive and uninhibited the destruction, the more a member of the Kwakiutl tribe demonstrated his superiority. Someone stripped of his wealth acquired unparalleled prestige.
As potlatch is difficult to reconcile with the copybook maxims of neoclassical economics, why am I mentioning it in this column? The answer is that London has recently hosted the 2012 Olympics at phenomenal expense. The whole shebang cost over £11 billion, with the vast bulk of that, about £9 billion, coming from government. No immediate cash return is expected from that £9 billion. It is unlikely that the new stadiums and other facilities will again be used as intensively as in August 2012.
Effectively, we the British have given up about £9 billion in order that our capital city should be the venue for a gigantic spectacle. The deliberate intention is that there should be many more viewers, and hence more beneficiaries, in other countries than there are in our own. The spectacle has come and gone, and in that sense the money is "down the drain". It can never be repeated in exactly the same way, although the British government could bid for other big international sporting events and spend billions of pounds on those as well. As with potlatch, what we are doing seems economically irrational, even mad. Why do we want to chuck money at foreigners in quite this way?
Newspaper headlines tell us why. By common consent (or at any rate by agreement between the Sun and the BBC), London's opening ceremony was the best ever, a tribute to the organisers and indeed to Britain at large.
The facilities have been outstanding, the media coverage impressive and the sunshine perfect. The Olympics have given us the British an opportunity to show off to the rest of the world, to demonstrate our superiority (in terms of organisation, ostentation and the weather) over lesser breeds in other lands. Conspicuous waste has enhanced our prestige.
Perhaps visiting anthropologists would describe us as crazy. But haven't they noticed how happy we are? Like the Kwakiutl of Vancouver Island, we are exhilarated by the awarding of nobility titles. We even participate in various forms of ritualised public frenzy — flag-waving, car-horn tooting and such like — when representatives of our tribe win medals. Records of this medal winning are maintained, going back many generations, and our performance is compared favourably with that at other potlatches . . . sorry, other Olympics, such as the previous two in London in 1908 and 1948. Superiority in league tables is achieved by receiving the highest number of nobility titles/medals over a series of potlatches/Olympics.
What was Benedict's overall verdict on the north-west American Indians in Patterns of Culture? They are "a vigorous and overbearing people" who have "a culture of no common order". More generally, "sharply differentiated from that of the surrounding tribes", this culture has a zest "which it is difficult to match among other peoples". The Daily Mail could not have put it better.
And let us be clear: Britain's triumph in the 2012 Olympics is a tribute to the wisdom and foresight of its tribal leaders, particularly John Major, Tony Blair and Boris Johnson, while Gordon Brown had always planned the gold haul as a smart way of replenishing our international reserves.

Garmin-Sharp sprinter Tyler Farrar will open his 2014 season at the Tour de San Luis in Argentina (January 19-26), testing his early season legs against the likes of Omega Pharma-Quick Step's Mark Cavendish and Cannondale's Peter Sagan.

"I'm really excited for it," Farrar told Cyclingnews.
"I've actually never even been to South America, so it will be a little bit of an adventure. I've done the Tour Down Under a few times, so plenty of years I've started my season this early, but never in San Luis. So I'm really looking forward to it."
The seven-day race, which features two or three possible sprint finishes, runs concurrent with the Santos Tour Down Under WorldTour race next season; nevertheless, there will be some world-class competition for Farrar in Argentina.
"I know there are a few flat days," Farrar said. "So there should hopefully be a few opportunities and some good southern hemisphere weather to start the year off."
Hoping for a solid start
Farrar, a winner of stages in all three Grand Tours, including a Tour de France stage win in 2011, is hoping a solid start will help him improve on the consistent-yet-frustrating results from the 2013 season, which he characterized as a rebuilding year following a disastrous 2012.
"I crashed so much and spent almost that entire season either injured or coming back from injury," he said. "It took me a good chunk of 2013 to really find my feet again."
The first of Farrar's only two wins last season came in May during the Amgen Tour of California's stage 4 final run into coastal Santa Barbara. He almost followed that up the next day with a win during the finish in Avila Beach – taking the technical, slightly uphill bunch sprint in front of Sagan and BMC's Thor Hushovd. However Radioshack's Jens Voigt had already sneaked off the front solo in the chaotic, windblown finish to win the stage by six seconds.
Farrar's next win didn't come until October, when he took stage 5 of the Tour de l'Eurométropole [formerly Franco-Belge]. In between those wins, he piled up 22 top-five finishes, including six second-place results and two wins. He missed the Tour de France for the first time since 2009, and instead he raced the Vuelta a Espana, where he finished second on the final day.
"Toward the end of the year things really started to click and come good," he said.
"But 2013 did not have the results I'd hoped for the season as a whole. As a sprinter, wins are what counts, so it wasn't very satisfying. If you win two races and have seven second places, it kind of feels like you're banging your head against a wall sometimes."
Training hard
The 29-year-old from Wenatchee, Washington, signed a one-year contract with Garmin for 2014, and now he is hoping a solid, injury- and crash-free 2013 will help him rise back to top form and put him at the tip of the spear in the big races.
"I've been training pretty hard now for a little over a month," he said. "I spent two weeks in Maui training with [teammate Ryder] Hesjedal, and that went really well. The training is awesome there and the weather was good, so we got in a lot of hours. I think I've got a good race program to bring me into the spring, and, fingers crossed, it will all go well."
Going well for Farrar would mean turning as many of last year's close calls into wins this year.
After San Luis, he'll do the Dubai Tour before attending a team camp in Majorca to prepare for the Belgian spring classics. He said he's scheduled to race the Giro d'Italia, where he won two stages in 2010, but his name is not yet among team's early plans for the Tour de France again this year.
"Knowing in advance means it is the way it is," he said of the possibility he could miss the Tour again. "There are plenty of good races on the calendar, plenty of other good races to target. I guess I am riding the Giro. But like I said, we'll see. I would love to ride the Tour, so if I can show in the first part of the year that I'm back to my best, then I would hope I would get to go."
Farrar also admitted that Garmin-Sharp has shifted its focus less toward stage wins in the Grand Tours and more toward general classification hopes, but he still believes he is a good fit for the American team
that he's ridden with since 2008.
"This will be my seventh with Garmin," he said. "It's definitely been my home for awhile, and I'm quite comfortable with the team. But we'll see as I evolve as a rider and the team evolves if it continues to be a good fit. I guess time will tell. Anything is possible. Right now I've got a whole year ahead of me, and I'm trying to just focus on having it go well and put in the winter that I need to put in to have a good season."

North East Lincolnshire Council NELC: Keeping employees and the public safe
North East Lincolnshire Council provides a full range of local government services, including council tax billing, libraries, social services, processing planning applications and waste collection and disposal. Chris Dunn, Waste operations and Fleet Manager, is responsible for the efficiency and safety of the Council's 35-strong fleet of vehicles.
After several incidents between the crew and members of the public, some involving the threat of violence from individuals, Chris Dunn approached Vision Techniques to discuss options for a vehicle recording system. After close consultation and conducting a full safety review of the fleet and its operations, several products and their benefits were demonstrated to the Council for consideration.
Investing in a live recording system like VT RECORD3 would allow Chris and the team to watch live footage from a remote location or recorded footage and use it for evidence should it be needed. It would prove whether specific actions did or didn't take place – safeguarding the safety of the crews in their day-to-day routine.
The system would be used in conjunction with VT Overview 360° a camera and monitor system that uses stitched images from four camera inputs pulling the images into one monitor and gives the driver a full birdseye view of the vehicle and its surroundings. VT Overview is especially effective when accessing difficult locations or manoeuvring in tight, heavily populated areas.
Chris Dunn explained to us one of the shocking events where VT RECORD has been invaluable. He explains, "There was an instance where a man stepped in front of our vehicle and was very upset because his refuse bin wasn't emptied. The staff were unaware of the circumstances that led to the man's outburst, and he pulled out a carjack and moved to attack our staff. The team pointed to the cameras, but this didn't stop him. He was soon arrested, and the footage was used against him to prove his actions. "Without VT RECORD3 we wouldn't have been able to show and prove the actions of this individual to the police, so the system is invaluable to us in cases like this."
The system is not only used to record incidents but has effectively deterred them. Individuals can often try to throw away waste in the refuse vehicle's rear and enter the safety zone near the hoists, which is particularly dangerous. When staff attempt to block their route, individuals can become aggressive. However, once the refuse collectors point out the vehicle's CCTV, an individual backs away, preventing any further physical threat.

A telephone meeting held May 10 by the American Numismatic Association board of governors was probably more noteworthy for those who participated than for what was accomplished.

Because this year's election for the seven governors seats is uncontested, the three newcomers to the board in August were invited to participate before the June election to get a leg up on their new responsibilities.
Greg Lyon and Mike Ellis were able to join the conference, while Gary Adkins was not.
The board voted to request that its audit firm count just one ballot in the governors races. By not counting the rest, the board expects to save about 25 percent of the $10,000 cost incurred to have the firm handle the election ballots.
Executive Director Larry Shepherd told the board that the Colorado Supreme Court suspended former ANA executive director Chris Cipoletti's law license for a month and mandated two year's probation.

LBF is Supporting our Community this Holiday Season through the LBF Family Relief Fund
Their stories are heartbreaking, our ask is simple. Help us support these three families battling pediatric brain cancer this holiday season.
While LBF continues to be focused on finding a cure for pediatric brain cancer, there are families who have received a diagnosis that need our help NOW. This holiday season, join LBF in raising funds for three patients - Joy, Eli and Aubree - who are actively going through treatment at Children's National Hospital. These families have kindly shared their stories to raise awareness and give a real-time look into the struggles that come along with a pediatric brain cancer diagnosis. It is not just battling this terrible disease, but it also includes keeping the lights on at home, childcare for other children, making sure there is food on the table and so much more. So many seemingly minor things that can become an overwhelming burden for families trying to save the lives of their children going through treatment for brain cancer. Today, on Giving Tuesday, LBF wants to share their stories and donate every single dollar raised today to these three families. We hope you will consider a donation after reading these stories.
Our friends at Cardinal Wealth will be matching all donations up to $2,500 so your donation of $10 becomes $20 and $50 becomes $100. The support we can provide to these families doubles.
MEET AUBREE
Aubree is a 6-year old girl who loves barbies, princesses, unicorns, dancing and doing arts and crafts. She was diagnosed last December with metastatic medulloblastoma after not feeling well for a couple of months. She was transferred to Children's in order
to undergo proton beam radiation and a clinical trial that offered aggressive treatment in hopes of a cure. Aubree received 6 weeks of radiation with daily IV chemotherapy
during that time, followed by 6 cycles of high dose inpatient chemotherapy. She was able to leave the hospital for short periods of time between cycles of chemotherapy, but was not able to go home as the risk of infectious complications and need for readmission to the hospital was too high. Aubree lives with her mother, grandmother, teenage aunt and uncle and 3-year old brother in southwest Virginia, a 5-hour drive from Children's National Hospital.
Before Aubree was diagnosed, both her mother and grandmother worked outside the home. Over the last 10 months, Mom has been staying with Aubree's little brother and Grandmom has been with Aubree in the hospital so neither has been able to work. During this time, their savings have been depleted and they are struggling to get by month-to-month. Aubree got to go home last week, after staying at the Ronald McDonald House in DC for almost 10 months while undergoing treatment.
Joy turned one year old this week! At two months old she was diagnosed with a highly aggressive brain tumor (ATRT) and has spent all but several weeks of the last 10 months hospitalized at Children's National Hospital. She has received 8 cycles of high-dose chemotherapy and undergone 2 major surgeries. She is set to begin 6 weeks of focal cranial radiation at the end of November. This would be a very difficult situation for any family---but especially hard for Joy's parents, Charlotte and Nestor. Their 2-year old daughter, Patricia, died only 15 months earlier of an infection while battling a rare rhabdoid tumor---also a form of childhood cancer. Mom often shares that it is good to be with nurses and staff that knew and cared for Patricia, but also very hard as each day is a constant reminder of the beloved daughter that they lost. During this time of COVID, Joy's parents have struggled financially as Mom has not been able to work, and their 9-year old son, Adriel has had to do virtual schooling, often home alone, while Dad goes to work so that their monthly bills get paid. Adriel is a remarkable boy, but also worries about losing another sister and the grief it would bring to their family. Mom wants to be sure that he has a good Christmas this year. She has had to tell him "no" about so many things he has asked to do and things he has requested, as they have not had the time or money.
MEET ELI
Eli, an incredible seven year old boy was diagnosed with a metastatic ATRT (Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor) in September of 2016. He underwent a surgical resection followed by several cycles of inpatient chemotherapy before going to Boston to receive proton beam radiation therapy. It was in Boston that Eli had the chance to go with his parents to a New England Patriots game and Eli has always loved football and since that time, Tom Brady.
After completing radiation, Eli underwent additional inpatient chemotherapy and continued to do remarkably well so the decision was made to continue chemotherapy with low doses that could be given orally at home. This allowed Eli to attend preschool and cheer his grandpa's football team on the sidelines. Unfortunately, due to the toxicity from the chemotherapy, by the summer of 2019, Eli's blood counts showed signs of failing to recover---Myelodysplastic Syndrome-
--requiring weekly transfusions and eventually a bone marrow transplant. He received a transplant with his mother, Jennifer, as a donor later that summer. Eli spent an extended period of time in the hospital and at the Ronald McDonald House. After a long recovery, Eli and his family finally were getting back to some sense of normalcy. Sadly, Eli developed a rare complication, Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease due to his bone marrow transplant. Eli has now been hospitalized and when not in the hospital is being seen in the Clinic three days a week and is on multiple medications including high-dose steroids. He is at high risk for infectious complications and is unable to attend school. He still loves to watch football but has little energy to imitate the plays in his living room with his family as he used to do.
Eli lives with his Mom---Jen---an elementary school teacher who has had to continue to work full time in order to maintain Eli's health insurance, as well as his stepfather and stepsister who are a tremendous support to both Eli and his Mom. They are a wonderful family who have a lot of out of pocket expenses related to Eli's illness and treatment schedule---and rarely, if ever ask for anything.
We hope these stories show you just how difficult a pediatric brain cancer diagnosis is and how much these families go through. Our goal is to make their lives just a tiny bit better by supporting them financially so they can pay their bills, keep food on the table, and so much more that is often overlooked. Will you join us and make a donation today?

In 28 minutes, Xiaomi's Mi 100W Wireless Charging Stand can fully charge a phone
A new 100W wireless charger from global smartphone maker Xiaomi has been unveiled. It's a beefed-up version of the Mi 80W Wireless Charging Stand, which debuted at the end of March.
Almost identical to its predecessor, the Mi 80W Wireless Charging Stand, is the new Mi 100W Wireless Charging Stand.
Both devices have the same charging speed, but they differ in terms of color, and they have different safety layers.
In terms of design, the two chargers are very similar in appearance and functionality. Vertically or horizontally, phones can be charged.
Mi 100W Wireless Charging Stand
It's black with gold accents on the newer model, whereas it's white with silver accents on the earlier model.
The new charger, as its name suggests, has a maximum output of 100W, compared to the prior charger's 80W maximum output. It's worth noting that both devices use the same Mi 120W charger and a 6A USB cord, both of which come with the package.
According to the report, none of Xiaomi's products can charge wirelessly at these rates.
MDY-13-EL is the model number of the Mi 100W Wireless Charging Stand; MDY-13-ED is the model number of the Mi 80W Wireless Charging Stand.
Additionally, the former contains a current calibration layer of protection in addition to the usual protections such as overcurrent and overvoltage as well as over-temperature and foreign body detection as well as electrostatic and electrostatic protection.
Both models have a dual-coil construction and an active fan that runs silently as needed, similar to the earlier model. Qi-compliant, it can charge practically any device that supports wireless charging.
"Ultra-fast wireless charging mode" is only available on the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra. The 67W and 50W charging rates are the maximum supported rates for these phones.
Xiaomi claims that the Mi MIX 4 with a 4,500mAh battery and 50W wireless charging capabilities can charge entirely within 28 minutes utilizing the new Mi 100W Wireless Charging Stand.

The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) has activated the Tampa Bypass Canal system in response to heavy rains in the Tampa Bay area. Boat barriers were put in place where I-75 crosses the river, restricting navigation in that area.
The District has been in contact with Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation, the City of Tampa, Tampa Bay Water and the City of Temple Terrace to notify them of this action. As a result, Trout Creek Park and Nature's Classroom, where the river water impounds, may be closed.
The Hillsborough River has reached an elevation of 25 feet above sea level, which triggers the Army Corps of Engineers activation level of the Lower Hillsborough Flood Detention (LHFDA) area. This involves stopping all or part of the flow of the Hillsborough River before it reaches the City of Temple Terrace and City or Tampa and impounding it in the LHFDA, which will assist with flooding from the Hillsborough River in cities of Temple Terrace and Tampa.
District staff stops the flow of the river by closing the S-155 structure. The S-155 structure is located north of Morris Bridge Road and east of I-75 and can be seen from I-75 as you cross the Hillsborough River.
The Tampa Bypass Canal system was constructed in response to massive flooding caused by Hurricane Donna in 1960. The system is designed to impound flood waters from the Hillsborough River into the 16,000-acre LHFDA. As the detention area fills with water from the River and the surrounding 450-square-mile watershed, the flows then enter the Tampa Bypass Canal and are safely diverted to McKay Bay, bypassing the cities of Temple Terrace and Tampa.
The system is made up of five flood control structures located along the 15.7-mile canal. In addition to providing flood control, the Tampa Bypass Canal also serves as a water supply source to help meet the drinking water needs of the Tampa Bay area.

I spent the day last Monday being filmed for a short DVD to accompany my exhibition at Bilston Craft Museum.
The production team, pictured left to right; Anthony (film-maker), Carrie and Natalie (Bilston Craft Gallery).
It's been a few weeks since I was last at the Brickworks. On my last visit, I left the largest completed vessel unwrapped to allow the bricks to dry and shrink.
Quite a dramatic effect I think you'll agree?
I love the tones and colour displayed by the uneven drying – the darker bricks at the bottom are still quite damp whilst the 'white' ones at the top are nearly dry enough for firing.
For some years now, the nature of my practice has been interpersonal – I've worked with participants of all ages and abilities, making things out of clay destined to be recycled rather than being fired.
I was starkly and cruelly reminded this week of the potential for disaster when committing work to the kiln.
I lifted the kiln lid to find all of the pieces…in pieces or severely cracked beyond repair – 2-3 days of work ruined in one foul swoop.
You would think that twenty years plus of experience would render the firing of work a mundane and risk free activity…It's anything but. There are so many variables to the process of firing; temperature, rate of temperature climb, size of the work, position in the kiln…I could go on.
Just one small change – in this case the shape of the thrown form, and you can pretty much throw everything you know out of the window!
Although I've been working with brick clay for the past three years, I'm still learning how it works…but when you have a deadline looming, the need to get it right is intensified.
I had forgotten what a frustrating and destructive process transforming clay into ceramic could be. Those pieces that survive the rigours of the kiln are special and should not in any way be taken for granted – lots of 'metaphor for life' potential me thinks!

Re: Warks CC1 Taunton
Mike TA1 19 May, 2019 13:09
13-man squad: Tom Abell (c), Azhar Ali, Tom Banton, George Bartlett, Josh Davey, Steve Davies, Lewis Gregory, Tim Groenewald, James Hildreth, Jack Leach, Craig Overton and Marcus Trescothick.
Can we read anything into that selection?
Clarence Parker 19 May, 2019 13:12
Who is No. 13?
mikeindex 19 May, 2019 13:12
I make that 12?
A mystery guest/guess.
The SCCC website shows the same 12, referred to as 13 - so small blame to Mike TA1.
Pretty obvious what the options are; I'm aghast to hear myself say that I really think the time has come for Marcus to be stood down. Not necessarily permanently.
wsm fan 19 May, 2019 13:26
Marcus has had 4 innings.
3 of which were by Apr13 in rubbish batting conditions.
He brings so much more to our side than just his runs.
Grockle 19 May, 2019 13:35
His primary job is to bring runs WSM and as others have objectively posted in the recent past the drought of runs is not just this season.
We need base and presently Marcus isn't bringing it and he should be up for deselection like everyone else.
It seems to be a Taunton thing for example, he is far more solid away.
Saying he brings 'other things' is the 'Luke Wright for England' defence. Some of the other things he brings are necessary because he isn't bringing a solid base to the first innings.
Grizzers 19 May, 2019 13:41
TG must have strong limbs after getting hit painfully a couple of times on Thursday.
Hard men these bowlers. I wonder if any seamers play without some pain into their 30's?
Cleavo 19 May, 2019 13:54
Sorry WSM fan, but as Grockle said Trescothick's main job is to score runs and give a base for the middle order to build on.
We effectively find ourselves 1 down more often than not inside the first 5-10 overs.
The recent poor run of form goes back to last season too. Big scores are becoming less frequent and the stats don't lie.
Nobody has a divine right to be selected based on his status as a player. Yes, the man is a legend and Somerset icon, but no score this week and the management will have a decision to make ahead of Guildford I'm afraid. Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he silenced his critics with a big score this week and I shall be delighted if he does.
The pitch is a lot further over than I first thought.
The official SCCC abacus has now been located and the squad of 13 is now corrected to 12 on the club site !

Agree completely with all of Grockle's comments on this thread.
Also share Roger's concern viz Kerr/Trescothick.
Also agree, though, with Mikeindex and think that Kerr needs to be thinking this way too - namely that Marcus being dropped doesn't necessarily have to mean curtains forever. He should return to the twos and, if he makes lots of runs, be considered for a return if there's a vacancy.
As to what we can read into the squad, Mike TA1:
A) Jamie Overton will play for Northants.
Josh Davey will replace Jack Brooks
C) If, as reported, Tom Banton has already said that he's going to be playing for the twos then our side will be otherwise unchanged... ergo neither Lewis nor Craig will be resting.

It is to be hoped that, by the time of the Guildford match, Jamie will have found form (and thus been recalled) and that Paul Van Meekeren will be fit enough to at least be a possibility should any other injuries arise.
Anybody heard how long Brooks may be out for?

Top order batsman Sam Hain, who injured a knee during the Royal London Cup group stage, returns to the Warwickshire line-up at Taunton tomorrow.
Former Glo`shire seamer Liam Norwell, kept out all season so far with a pec injury, may make his Warwick debut, teaming up with former county colleague and fellow quickie Craig Miles. Opening batter Dom Sibley will be seeking his sixth century in successive matches.
Squad; Patel (c), Ambrose, Banks, Brookes, Hain, Hannon-Dalby, Hose, Miles, Norwell, Rhodes, Sibley, Thomson, Yates.
Sibley already has 6, he will be going for 7.....
And he is somebody who should, presumably, be under consideration for an attempted signing by Somerset in the winter. If Sibley doesn't get picked for the Ashes this year, in CC1, then he may find it tough to get noticed in CC2 next year, in which case he might be interested in a move to CC1?

More likely he will return to Surrey, who should never have let him go.
We should have looked at Sibley a couple of years ago when he became available and firstly joined Warwickshire on loan, but Rikki Clarke was part of the deal and went the other way.
Yes, LoL, that had occurred to me. If that happens then, perhaps, we should instead consider one of Surrey's two former Durham men, Stoneman or Borthwick, one of whom may be surplus to requirements ... although it depends on how Rory Burns goes in the Ashes (if does well may get Central contract).
Regardless, SCCC figure to have needs in our top three. If Hildreth doesn't get into the England side with his top three ploy, then I assume he will revert to four. Tom A doesn't seem to want to bat up in the top 3 anymore. Marcus is no long-term solution and Azhar is on a one-year deal. That leaves Byrom, possibly Green, possibly Banton - if seen as an opener at first-team red ball level and the up-and-coming Lammonby. In other words, there may be a vacancy for a more experienced figure in the top three.
Looks like TB had an active weekend:
[www.thecricketer.com]
Following the latest round of fixtures, Lewis Gregory is now averaging 63 with the bat, and 14 with the ball for the CC season.
He's the leading wicket-taker. Not sure how many are ahead of him in the bowling averages but not many - possibly Leachy. And I'm sure 63 books a healthy position in the batting averages, too.
Lewis is tenth in the CC1 batting averages and, effectively, first in the bowling averages (forget Leaning as he isn't a serious bowler and, as such, hasn't met any kind of minimum qualifying requirement for either overs bowled or wickets taken).
Leachy is second to Lewis in the CC1 bowling averages.
Equally, if we throw out Jack Brooks' average of 41 (based on scoring 41 runs for once out), then only two guys - George and Tom, are backing Lewis with an average the right side of 40 (with nobody else even over 35).
So we've made a really strong start to the season but there could/should be more to come from quite a few of our personnel, which is actually encouraging in a sense.
One note of caution: Almost all of our penetration has stemmed from just those two sources - LG and Leachy.
LG has a strike-rate of 31 this season and Leachy has a strike rate of 37. Both figures are exceptional.
But the next best is Cove with a less than scintillating 62 and Josh and Tim have a strike-rate of 70 on the season so far.
In the CC, a strike-rate in the low 50s is usually considered very good.
Sorry, posted those two in the wrong order ... the strike-rate post was supposed to be first.
Josh & Tim on a small sample granted, have had their most favourable conditions in April&May.
As the sun comes out & pitches do less both will become less effective.
You can take a guess what i suggest would be a better option.
20-6-55-0 in a days play is not winning us division 1 title.
The other factor is the reduced seam on the ball. When conditions don't favour swing, then that will make life harder still for Tim and Josh - harder than in equivalent periods in other summers. I read somewhere that this is the smallest seam since the summers of 1990 and 1991, when batsmen ran riot.*
Of course, I know what your suggestion is.
I also think that Dom Bess should still have a role to play - with the same proviso, of course, as with Jamie - could do with demonstrating some form on his loan stint, first.
Not sure where Leachy is with England right now, but must have a decent shout of playing an Ashes Test or two (suspect they might also "take another look at him," against Ireland before then).
*Incidentally, should batsmen run riot later in the season, such that there are many, many drawn games, then points in the bag, already won, in more bowler friendly conditions may be even more valuable than usual.

Terrible shot. How many more chances..

Sad to say it, but I think it is time to give Tres a rest from 1st team games. If he can get his form back in the seconds, then another opportunity will be there later in the season I'm sure, but he's just not doing it at the moment and it's putting pressure on the next batsmen too early in the innings.
