Putin becoming a nation builder… in Belarus
Meeting in Minsk against the Russian military air base, October 4, 2015 (Image: BelarusPartisan.org)
2015/10/06 - 07:43 • International, More
Edited by: A. N.
Few people have done more to unite and mobilize the Ukrainian nation than Vladimir Putin over the past 18 months. Now it appears the Kremlin leader has embarked on a similar unintended effort in Belarus where his plans to force Alyaksandr Lukashenka to agree to a Russian base have begun a rallying cry for the Belarusian opposition.
Yesterday, some 400 to 500 people assembled in Mensk – the figures are from the Russian TASS news agency and so unlikely to be an exaggeration to protest against Putin's plans and Lukashenka's apparent agreement to establish a Russian air base on Belarusian territory.
The hour-long meeting was peaceful, and no one was arrested, although several of the leaders were presented with protocols and police indicated that a court would take up the issue of their actions at a future session. But what was most striking is the way in which speakers linked foreign and domestic policies.
Uladzimir Nyaklyayew, one of the organizers of the meeting, used the occasion to announce the formation of a movement "For the Independence and Statehood of Belarus. He said that if it weren't for the example of Ukraine and the Donbas, one could say put bases where you like. There are many foreign bases in the world."
"But in Crimea, there was a military base from which they seized part of the territory of Ukraine. If that was the case there, then why should it not happen here?" he asked. Nyaklayew added that "we came to the square in order to say 'no' to the violation of the constitution… We do not intend to fight with anyone, and if we allow military bases, we will lose our neutrality."
Nikolai Statkevich, another Belarusian opposition figure, also spoke to the crowd. He said that it is clear that "this military airbase is directed against Kyiv. We however do not want that from our land will come a danger for the fraternal Ukrainian people, even if it comes also from our neighboring fraternal people. We don't need this."
"The dictatorship is pushing us toward a global war and making us a target" so that Lukashenka can "sit in his chair for another year or two." To achieve that, Statkevich said, risks making us "a possible victim even of nuclear strikes. Lukashenka is war," he concluded.

Slate roofing offers homeowners a unique, stylish look for their house. Slate is rock that is cut from ground, with natural patterns and color blends that run throughout the material. Each piece is unique and adds to your home's aesthetic. It's a stunning look for many types of homes, including ones that showcase certain architectural features. Slate increases the value of your home for many decades and adds to its curb appeal.
As a natural material, slate lasts as long as 100 years. If pieces of slate require work, they can be repaired, instead of replacing the roof. This long-lasting roof material is an investment in your home. In areas and neighborhoods where the maintenance and renovation of older homes requires maintaining a certain aesthetic, slate roofing is durable and of the highest quality.
RickJohn Roofing is Western PA's slate roofing experts. We install, repair, and renovate slate roofs and copper flashing.
Because of slate roofing's unique properties, it requires copper flashing and finishwork. Copper is thick and durable, and it serves as a stylish accent piece that ties together the natural beauty of slate. As it changes color over time, copper work offers a subtle difference in the look of your home through the decades.

Is the VW ID Roomzz the EV Australia actually wants?
Go Auto News
By GoAuto - 06 May 2019
AUSTRALIANS, obviously, love SUVs. Especially big ones that can carry seven people. Nowadays more SUVs are sold in this country than sedans, wagons and hatches. Names like Kluger, CX-9, Sorento and Santa Fe are as part of the local landscape as Commodore, Falcon and Magna once were.
That's OK right now, as fuel is still relatively inexpensive and there's plenty of it to go around. But with the price of oil set to soar and increasingly stringent emissions regulations casting a big black cloud over the future of diesels – the preferred choice of engine in larger SUVs and crossovers – an important question has been raised:
"What will power our big SUVs of the future if the price of petrol rises out of reach?"
Styling-wise, the Roomzz shares the ID family's design language with clean lines, wide haunches, chunky wheels and slim LED lighting signatures.
Volkswagen reckons it has a solution. Ironic, given the company's entanglement in the so-called 'Dieselgate' diesel emissions scandal. Yes, according to the Wolfsburg wunderkinds, the answer is electric. Yes, it involves charging. But – crucially – no, it does not look like a UFO from an '80s sci-fi series. Or even a Nissan Leaf for that matter.
And right from the outset, it's clear that the Germans have a sense of humour about it, too. Called ID Roomzz (as in, with two Zs, as if to challenge sceptics who automatically dismiss electric vehicles (EVs) as snooze-mobiles), the car in question is a seven-seater SUV that will enter production in the (to give it that futuristic sound) Year 2021.
Whether the Roomzz's sliding front and rear doors make production remains to be seen; they are said to improve ingress and egress substantially.
Right now, it's a concept, which debuted at the Shanghai motor show in early April, and will be one of a host of 'ID' vehicles in Volkswagen's growing family of EVs. And we're liking what we're seeing, too.
The company reckons that China will be the priority for this sort of vehicle, and that's understandable given the vast volumes of the world's biggest vehicle market, but there's a business case underway right now for right-hand drive, meaning that if that gets the green light (and just quietly it seems like that might be the case since the Roomzz's wider ID component set has already been developed for RHD markets), then Australian sales would be a dead-cert (probably). After all, like we said, we love big SUVs! Even a Volkswagen Group Australia (VGA) spokesperson says so:
"At this stage it's just for China, but given the huge market desire for SUVs, we'd certainly consider it if it was offered," he said.
The Roomzz joins the ID hatch (Paris 2016), ID Buzz van (Detroit 2017), ID Crozz SUV (Shanghai 2017), ID Vizzion sedan (Geneva 2018, pictured) and ID Buggy dune buggy (Geneva 2019) as EV concepts revealed by the company at motor shows over the past few years.
Unbelievably, considering its 60-year-plus history in making multi-seat products like the Kombi, Caravelle and Multivan, Volkswagen AG has only just recently released its first-ever seven-seat large SUV, in the guise of the American-made Atlas (2017) while the Tiguan received a China-market driven stretch in 2018 to create the Tiguan Allspace, though that's more of a 5+2-seater. Note, however, that other Volkswagen Group products like the Skoda Kodiaq have fitted the bill for a bit longer.
But back to the Roomzz. Dimensionally it's about as long as the Holden Acadia SUV (4915mm), about the width of a Sorento (1890mm) and tall enough to accommodate most Aussies (1760mm). It would fit next to the latest (third-generation) Touareg, which is packaged as more of a five-seater luxury crossover with some off-road capability. Because, as every car industry executive in the world will tell you, you cannot have enough SUVs nowadays. People are mad about them.
This SUV is a monolith, appearing to be seamlessly machined from one solid block," said Volkswagen design executive director Klaus Bischoff.
As per the other IDs, Roomzz will ride on Volkswagen Group's modular electric drive matrix (MEB) architecture, feature one electric motor per axle for a combined power maximum of 225kW (so it's no sluggard right from the get-go) and will thus also offer all-wheel drive. Here's something else: we already know how fast it will streak silently to 100km/h – just 6.6 seconds – and will be electronically limited to 180km/h. A slew of batteries located low-down underneath the floor provides up to a claimed 450km of range between charges (as per Europe's recently introduced WLTP cycle), while a 150kW DC fast charger can top it up from zero to 80 per cent in as little as half an hour. All doable within a relaxing coffee break.
Volkswagen says that the Roomzz will also be Level 4 autonomous ready, meaning it would be capable of driving itself in traffic (and automatically taking the wheels, pedals and other driver-related gubbins out of the occupants' way) when one of its ID Pilot modes are engaged, though whether that means it will actually be activated for Australian cars is as-yet unknown.
When the Level 4 autonomous driving tech 'ID Pilot mode' is in use, the front seats rotate inward by 25 degrees "to enable a more communicative, lounge-like atmosphere onboard", says VW.
In keeping with the Roomzz's green ideology, its cabin ushers in a new type of leather-like upholstery made of a renewable raw material known as AppleSkin. It also boasts an advanced smog-ready air-conditioning system that uses an active filter to ensure that the air is clean even if the ambient atmosphere is not.
It is believed that Volkswagen will announce the full rollout of ID-family EVs at the IAA Frankfurt International Auto Show in September, but we've already been told by VGA that the Golf-sized ID five-door hatch – its name has yet to be divulged to the press – will be the first to land in our shores, sometime in 2021. That's a year after its European debut.
Set to rival the likes of the Tesla Model X, the Roomzz will follow other ID models by riding on Volkswagen Group's modular electric drive matrix (MEB) platform
If all this sounds like Volkswagen is fast-tracking EVs, you wouldn't be wrong. In the wake of Dieselgate back in 2015, the massive conglomerate has paid out billions of dollars in fines and reparations, and also cancelled many projects that were on the boil in order to fund the future development of zero-emissions vehicles, that also include hybrids and fuel-cell models. To that end, in April, it also announced that some 70 EVs across the entire Volkswagen Group stable of brands will be launched by 2028; it expects that electrified vehicles will snare up to 40 per cent of worldwide sales in that timeframe, which means a 30 per cent carbon dioxide emissions cut as an upshot.
An electric seven-seater SUV in your not-too-distant future? Don't bet against it if Volkswagen has its way!

Israel – a failed democracy
The supply of oil must peak, get used to it
Anger, that'll solve our problems
Written By: Steve Pierson - Date published: 2:05 pm, January 9th, 2009 - 11 comments
Categories: bill english, economy, national/act government - Tags: misdirection
Yesterday, Labour leader Phil Goff challenged National to present its plan for getting the economy through the global downturn. Halfway through National/ACT's much-hyped first 100 days and, Goff pointed out, while Obama and the UK are pushing ahead with a 'Green New Deal' we've seen nothing from National/ACT except the cancelation of the one Green New Deal programme we did have, the home insulation plan.
While the UK, Aussie, UK, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and just about every other government in the world have cancelled their usual holiday hiatus to respond to the crisis, ours is still on vacation. John Key was too busy at his holiday home in Hawaii to even respond to Goff's criticism. That fell to Angry Bill who spat "Given the mess Labour left the economy in, they should be focused on getting their own house in order, rather than telling the new Government what to do."
That's the same Bill English who was praising the former government's economic management just last month, along with various other commentators. And so they should. Labour left government with the government's finances in the best shape they have ever been in, with record-low unemployment, with tax cuts targeted at low income workers, with rapidly rising wages, with a larger social wage, with Working for Families meaning many families pay no income tax, and with Kiwisaver increasing our private savings. In the face of a series of external shocks – the drought, record-oil prices, the sub-prime crisis, and the credit crisis that has emerged from it – the economy held up as well as it could have. Labour did as well as it could in trying circumstances. Of course, that doesn't stop Bill resorting to angry attack as his only defence – he knows the attack is dishonest but it doesn't matter as long as it distracts from the gaping hole where his government's policy ought to be.
National/ACT can try and fix the blame wherever it chooses but the only question now is 'what is National/ACT going to do?' Where are its answers?
Bill and the Tories can spit all the bile they like but the job now is to govern. We're still waiting.

Steve Pierson said "Labour left government with the government's finances in the best shape they have ever been in"
This is a piss-take post, right? Or have you forgotten PREFU?
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10542881
"Treasury has painted a very ugly economic picture for the incoming National government with cash deficits increasing, growth shrinking, tax revenue diminishing and unemployment rising.
Prime minister designate John Key was briefed by Treasury yesterday and told the economic outlook had deteriorated further since the pre-election fiscal update (Prefu)."
Whero 2
You sound surprised?
Of course National don't have any idea what to do – they are waiting for thier big business masters to get back to their offices and tell them what to do.
Steve Pierson 3
Inv2. Read the actual PREFU, not what Granny has to say about it. And I'm not denying things are bad, Labour isn't denying that either which is why they are begging National to do something. I'm saying it's not Labour's fault and Labour did well given the circumstances, which is what English and experts have said too.
Rex Widerstrom 4
I have a suspicion that if a new government, nine years out of power, with many of its Ministers new to the role (and one even new to Parliament itself!) had rushed headlong into a "plan" to deal with not just a crisis, but a pile of inter-related crises with the potential to completely wreck our economy if mis-handled… then the headline to this post would read something like "Ignorant noobs think they can solve all our problems".
I do agree, however, that perception-wise I don't think it's the cleverest idea in the world to have our PM sunbathing in Hawaii (and probably hoping Obama will drop by so he can meet someone else "famous"). Unless it's part of a cunning plan to calm fears at home and settle the markets… but I doubt it.
He's got the job he's supposedly wanted since he were a lad, you'd think he'd pull on a suit and at least give the impression of being at the helm.
But that's perception. The reality is that we need to tread carefully and with our eye on what much larger economies are doing, rather than "leading the world" on everything at great expense to ourselves. I sincerely hope that's what they're doing.
"I'm saying it's not Labour's fault and Labour did well given the circumstances, which is what English and experts have said too."
No you're not Steve – once you start using absolutes like "best shape they have ever been in" and "record low unemployment" you paint yourself into a corner. Unemployment is NOT at record low levels. When Holyoake was PM (which I'm old enough to remember 😉 ), unemployment was almost unknown. The joke in those days was that the PM knew all NZ's unemployed by their first names.
Inv2. Record low unemployment – the measure we have for recording unemployment is the Household Labour Force Survey, the unemployment rate under that measure has been lowest in the last four years, under Labour. Hence, record low, the lowest on the record.
I'm aware of the old joke about Holyoake and it refers to the number of people on the unemployment benefit, not the number of unemployed. The number of people on the unemployment benefit reached a low of 12 in 1950 but the number of unemployed was far higher than that – just as the number of people unemployed according the the HLFS today at 94,000 is far more than the 20,000 on the UB. You've also got to understand the difference between a time when complusory military service and a huge public workforce intentionally created work for all even if it was valueless and today.
the sprout 7
You're forgetting National's other Master Recovery Plan policies of cancelling the Buy Kiwi Made campaign and the Fire At Will Bill to promote unemployment.
English's anger is borne of his impotence. He know's there's bugger-all his party can come up with that will do much good and still hold on to its rightwing support base. They are in a serious pickle, and so soon into their reign.
Inv2,
You're pissing into the wind if you try and parrot English's line that Labour left the economy in bad shape. There are few politicians of any colour and even fewer journalists – let alone economists – who'd believe that.
Whero
Many a true word is said in jest.
But really… a pretty lacklustre and disappointing performance from National so far and one I doubt will improve in the coming 34 months or so before they're consigned to history as One Term Wonders.
Ari 8
You know, blaming the Labour government for the international financial crisis is very "bipartisan" and totally consistent with his earlier comments that they had left the economy in a comparatively good state.
I really hope I don't have to watch Bill English's slow descent into schizophrenia as he tries to be "bipartisan" and attack Labour at the same time. XD
r0b 9
Here were some of Bill's words on the topic – all the way back in December:
Bill English had to swallow the proverbial dead rat this morning and effectively acknowledge that Michael Cullen had done something right in his stewardship of the Government's finances in the past nine years.
Having condemned his predecessor for many years for paying off debt too quickly, English said: "I want to stress that New Zealand starts from a reasonable position in dealing with the uncertainty of our economic outlook."
"In New Zealand we have room to respond. This is the rainy day that Government has been saving up for," he told reporters at the Treasury briefing on the state of the economy and forecasts.
Right wing trolls always want to beat up the dire economic predictions as Labour's failure. They are not, they are a result of dire international circumstances. Without the good work of the last Labour government, things would have been a lot worse. Here's some notes from the Treasury briefing (pdf link) to the incoming National government:
New Zealand's economic fortunes are tied to those of the world
economy. In the immediate future, international economic conditions
will be dominated by events in the financial sector and their
aftermath. The instability of global financial markets has required
radical policy responses to stabilise financial systems. The full
impact of this instability on economic activity remains uncertain, but
a key factor will be the speed with which stability returns to financial
markets. Economic growth has already weakened significantly around the world accompanied by substantial losses in wealth. […]
Past macroeconomic policies have put New Zealand in a reasonably strong position to weather economic shocks.
Significant fiscal stimulus is already in train, and tax and spending should be allowed to adjust as the economy In the medium-term, fiscal consolidation will be needed.
So I guess we look to the government for urgent action in these urgent times right? Wrong. Even National's best friends in the media (hello Granny) can't help but notice that National haven't got a plan:
Many may find the new Government's initial programme, outlined to Parliament in the Speech from the Throne yesterday, a trifle bland for the times. National has come to office in economic circumstances it describes as the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
But despite the parliamentary urgency it has invoked for its election promises there appears to be no particular urgency to meet the crisis.
The speech delivered by the Governor-General added little flesh to the bare bones of policies announced before the election or agreed with National's supporting parties more than a fortnight ago. The stimulus package that the country expected, no matter which of the major parties was elected, has not materialised yet and there was no hint from the throne that one is imminent.
What Granny Herald is trying to say is that the National government is frozen like a rabbit in the headlights, dithering while Rome burns. They blew all their political capital violating the democratic process by rushing punitive bills through before Christmas under urgency, while doing nothing (zero zip nada) to address the truly urgent problems of the economy.
Note to John Key. Summer silly season will soon be over, and the country will be looking to you for leadership and results. What's your plan?

you are on the money SP
the National party and its supporters have turned into an angry party
make that a very angry party
just listen to radio spud and the rest of the squawkback radio and all you hear is an endless parade of very angry people who want change in the world but dont know how to change anything except their underpants
on the whole they are very CLEAN people too
so they now they have "power" of soprts but dont know what to do with it because to effect change costs MONEY and the angries are also very mean as well

Sierra Leone Isolates 3 More Areas in Response to Ebola
Sierra Leone's government has placed three more districts under isolation as it tries to fight an outbreak of Ebola.
President Ernest Bai Koroma said late Wednesday the isolation of Port Loko and Bombali in the north and Moyamba in southern Sierra Leone will "pose difficulties" for people there, but that the lives of everyone are more important.
Two districts of the country's 14 districts were already under isolation, and the move comes days after Sierra Leone ended a three-day nationwide lockdown.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the situation in the country "continues to deteriorate." Its latest figures include 1,940 cases of Ebola in Sierra Leone and 597 deaths.
Overall, WHO reported Thursday, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed 2,917 people and infected more than 6,200.
It called attention to the need for more beds to treat patients in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, which have been the hardest hit by the virus.

Seagate sees profit nearly quadruple thanks to HDD supply crisis
by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/02/2012 01:41 PM | source: | 0 comment(s)
Well, it's what we all where thingking already really. One company's loss is another's gain. While Western Digital saw its quarterly profit decline from $225 million in fiscal Q2 2011 to $145 million in fiscal Q2 2012, Seagate managed to increase its net income from $150 million to $563 million!
WD's factories in Thailand were hit hard by the floods in October, this disaster almost cut the company's HDD production in half. Seagate on the other hand managed to keep its production pretty stable, the company suffered from component shortages but enjoyed much higher profit margins than usual as HDD priced skyrocketed as a result of a shortfall in global HDD supply.
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 30, 2011. The company shipped 47 million disk drives and reported revenue of $3.2 billion, gross margin of 31.6%, net income of $563 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.28. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the net impact of certain items, Seagate reported net income of $581 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.32 for the quarter ended December 30, 2011.
For the six months ended December 30, 2011, the company reported revenue of $6.0 billion, gross margin of 26.0%, net income of $703 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.61. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes the net impact of certain items,Seagate reported net income of $727 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.67. Seagate returned $151 million to shareholders in the form of a dividend and repurchased $191 million of Seagate ordinary shares which equates to approximately 13 million ordinary shares.
For a detailed reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP results, see accompanying financial tables.
Acquisition of Samsung's Hard Disk Drive Assets
Seagate announced on December 19, 2011 the closing of the acquisition of the hard disk drive business of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Related to this transaction, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles of $5 million (non-cash expense) is included in the GAAP basis net income for the fiscal second quarter and six months ended December 30, 2011. For Seagate's third fiscal quarter, which ends on March 30, 2012, it is expected that amortization of acquisition-related intangibles will be approximately $35 million.

Error: Failed to lock variable XXXX for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created."
It was so frustrating that I figured I would post it here in case anyone else comes across the same problem.
If you've ever seen this error before, you'll most likely find that it is caused by a script task/component that is referencing a variable that no longer exists. In my case, I had no scripts but I did change some of my package variables.
After a while of trying to figure out what would cause this issue, I finally realized that my package had checkpoints enabled. When checkpoints are enable, details about the variables are written to the checkpoint file when the package is executed.
In the process of fixing the original problem with my package, I deleted some of the existing variables. I made sure to update all of my tasks that referenced the deleted variables, but I forgot to delete the checkpoint file before restarting the package.
When the checkpoint file was read upon execution, it tried to assign a value to the variables that were deleted, but since they did not exist anymore, I got this error.
I guess the point is, if you make changes to the structure of a package when checkpoints are enabled and a checkpoint file exists, it might be worth your time to delete the file before restarting the package with the new changes in effect.
In the package properties, find the CheckpointFileName property. This will tell you where the checkpoint file is located. Find this file and delete it. This will cause the package to restart from the beginning next time you execute it.
Aaron, thanks for the blog on this. I have the exact same error, however I do not (and have not used check points)…have you come across anything else that might cause this?
1. Make sure all variables referenced in the script task is being passed that variable into the script.
2. Make sure the variable is spelled the correctly.
3. Make sure the scope of the variable is available to the script task.
4. Make sure the namespace of the variable (i.e. User, System, etc) is correct. As good practice, I always pass in my variables into scripts using the namespace (user::var1,user::var2) and reference them in the script itself the same way.
If you'd like, feel free to email me your package and I'll see if I can figure it out for you. Make sure to strip it off any passwords, etc first. My email is aaronakin [at] gmail [dot] com.
I have run across the same problem, it seems to have to do with the fact that I was using expressions in my source and destination variables, in my expression I was concatenation two variables together, I solved it by creating a variable to hold both variables, then concatenate them in a script. I then deleted my expressions and just referenced the full concatenated variables in my file system task. seems to work.
I also had the exact same problem as Andrew #3. I fixed by creating three variables. I concatenated the first two into the third with an expression on the third variable (F4).
Thanks for this post. I found a similar problem, inside the Script Task Editor I'd added a ReadOnlyVariable. Even after deleting this, saving, closing Visual Studio, then re-opening the project – the ReadOnlyVariable was still there. I had to copy out the guts of the script task to a new script task.
This solved the problem. Thanks again.
When the package stops, we see that the query changed to look like above, with the literal value '09/08/2010′ replacing what used to be the variable name: @User::StartDate. Before the package runs again, we have to go into each sql task and remove the 09/08/2010 literal and put back in the variable name: @User::StartDate.
I had the same issue on my SSIS package but was not using checkpoint files. The task was failing while archiving off a file in the File system object. I couldnt get to the bottom of it so i deleted the object and added a new one, exact same variables passed in and it works.
Right click on the script task, don't do Edit, the variables will be correct their just like the variable pane on the left instead off of right click menu select properties. About 2/3 down the Properties window in the right pane you will see variables. The User variables that you deleted from the variable left hand variable pane are still in that properties cell. Delete them and save pkg. Usually this happens when you use others code and discard unnecessary variables or decide to set them from within the script and not pass them in.
Just another Friday night discovery.
My problem is the same as David's (#6). I am using variables to store the output of a query and then to rename a file by adding the date i.e., D:\File10.txt should become D:\File10_YYMMDD_hhmmss.txt. The variables are uVar_File10 and uVar_File10Renamed. The package fails with the same message as Aron's.
The killer is that there were 2 almost identical containers in the package until I added a third. The first 2 still execute individually, but the new one fails.
David – did you ever figure out a solution?
I had the same isssue with a sql task. Just deleted the sql task and recreated it problem solved.
Am having the same issue with "uploading" ftp task. I have a script that opens the connection, but error is slightly different.
I tried putting the scope of the variable within this container + and+ tried putting the variable within the single task.

The story of how I got into bodybuilding.
It took me 3 years from when I came up with idea of bodybuilding to actually do something about it. Usually a thought to do something just jumps in my head randomly, then I get excited about it for a while and without any specific plan (like the one I was referring to in my previous posts) the idea disappears.
I knew I wanted a super fit body and I told my friends that my NY resolution will be to do bodybuilding. I didn't even know what that meant exactly, apart from building some muscles and maybe becoming stronger. I didn't know anything about body shapes, lean gains, muscles, deadlifts, sets, reps, proteins etc. I always did some kind of exercise but nothing like this. The idea slowly faded away and I did not do much progress.
Mr B liked the idea (fit wifey yay) so we did some exercise in our garage gym, pull-ups, squats, but again no plan, and again the motivation faded away.
But…since then, the idea never left my thoughts, it kept coming back, and I attempted it 2 more times, had meal and a workout plan from online coach and what stopped me was operation and injury, each adding at least 4 months out of the gym. Because of lack of exercise I felt down and didn't have energy but all this time, somewhere in the back of my head was this small voice saying 'I still want this…'.
I didn't waste those 2 weeks on the cruise Every day I would sit on the deck, watch sunrise, think, challenge what I thought, made plans, change them to be a bit more perfect each day. The places we visited were inspiration to me, Rome and Olympia – the fitness inspiration, Monacco – luxury and fashion inspiration, Santorini – magical inspiration.
My plan needed serious revision, of course it didn't work very well, the sooner I admitted it the better it would have been for me, for example now lack of progress and motivation is a red flag to me. A plan needs at least a reason, what exactly you want to do, why you really want to do it and then how. What and why don't change, but how should be revised – does it work, can you see progress, even small one? Then you should be OK.
My 'what to change?' was fitness lifestyle (bodybuilding), my reasons for this, i.e. my 'why?' included: At least once in my life I want to see what my body is capable of. Without exercise I felt purposeless and I felt down. I did not want to waste anymore days feeling like that. I wanted to be great, achieve something that felt right to me and what made me smile, and gradually this become more important to me than cream eggs. So that's how I started bodybuilding – I just wanted it more than my current lifestyle. For you this could be something else, maybe you are actually happy in the lifestyle you have, maybe you don't need diet, new degree or new house, just be honest, do what you enjoy doing, what feels right and not what you think is a right thing to do, just because TV or your parents, friends, grandma or dog say so.
Ps. Why am I referring to Rome in bodybuilding post. ep Rome was 'a bit' wild but apart from that it fascinated me, the fashion aspect, architecture, myths, wars and gladiator fights. When we went to Colosseum I listened to all the stories while holding my breath so I didn't miss any information. What you see below is arena where gladiators used to fight. Most of the floor is gone so what I'm looking at are cells where gladiators and wild animals were kept. Now imagine how hot it is in Rome. 40 degrees or higher? And you are there underneath the floor, pitch black, hot as hell, everybody screams, animals are pretty loud too, not to mention the smell, and you're just there waiting for your fight, or death. Only elite survived, and quickly they have realised that 'fitness' was they way out. They were like half gods that everyone was admiring, they were selling their hair and sweat in little bottles, yuck, but they knew if they fought well then the freedom was around the corner. I liked that, no matter how hard the situation was, when they focused on the final goal, they could get through anything. The tunnel vision.


Due to Oil Field Cutbacks I hit the streets with our homemade garlic chip dip. I went door to door, hit baseball games, waited for kitchens to close , hit parking lots, night clubs, pubs, after school rush, hit every market I could. Within my first 3 1/2 hrs I sold 80 dips. During Ponoka Stampede I sold almost 1000 dips in 4 1/2 days. People were putting the dip in their food, cooking with it and adding it to cesar cocktails. The feedback was incredible. The garlic chip dip turned into a Dip/Spread/Dressing overnight.
Thanks again for the dip that you dropped off last week – it was delicious!
For your report, the pH was nominally low but it is within the normal range of expectations (especially if vinegar or sour things were used as an ingredient). Your product was completely clean of food-borne pathogens, such as E. coli and Salmonella. The total plate count (which includes all air-breathing bacteria, including the good kind!) was fairly high but it ranks as "Satisfactory" in Health Canada guidelines for prepared food.
For a result like this, it means that your dip will become unpalatable before it becomes dangerous to consume.

Included is a remote control.
The Spinfire Pro series uses counter rotating wheels to propel the balls. This is the most effective method of ball propulsion allowing the machine to remain silent and effectively produce topspin and slice. The wheels are black to help disguise their location inside the machine, helping to make each shot less predictable.
The Spinfire Pro 2 improves on the Pro 1 by adding vertical oscillation. This oscillation allows the machine to vary the depth of the ball when in random play. It can be turned on by itself or in conjunction with horizontal oscillation or even the two line drill.
The Spinfire Pro 2 offers completely random hitting but also offers this two line drill feature (not available on the Pro 1). Once set, the balls will no longer be random, instead, you will receive alternating forehands and backhands. It can be set to either "narrow" or "wide" to vary the degree of difficult. You can also set the timing between each ball.
These machines offer extreme spin, meaning i>more spin than a human is capable of hitting.. You can set either topspin or slice to any level between 0 and 10, with 10 being the maximum spin and 0 being flat balls. When set at level 10 the difficulty of spin is so high that if you can master it, you will have no trouble dealing with your opponents in real match play. No human can hit the level of spin these machine are capable of. Of course you can always set the spin to much easier levels for more realistic practice.
The control panel on the Spinfire has a back lit LCD menu showing settings for ball interval, speed, spin and elevation level. The membrane touch panel has a strong aesthetic appeal and is easy to use.
Utilising infrared sensors, the Spinfire Pro series of machines can calibrate themselves before every use, allowing you to line up the machine to the center of the court. When turning off horizontal or vertical oscillation the machine will calibrate itself back to its original position.
The Spinfire Pro series of machines come with an outstanding 2 year warranty on parts and labor.
Fast Charger – will charge the machine in 3 – 4 hours instead of 10 hours.
Cover - will protect the machine from dust, debris, leaves, etc. It should not be used to leave the machine out on the court in the weather. The machine can still be wheeled while using this cover.
Carry Case – this heavy duty carry case will allow you to use the handles to transport the machine to and from your destination. It also includes pockets for storing the remote control, charger and other items. The machine can still be wheeled while using this case.
Horizontal Oscillation - Medium: In this diagram, you can see how balls are randomly fired horizontally across the court but not to the full width of the singles lines (this is easier than the wide version). The depth can be manually set (in this example it's set to hit the baseline), but it will not vary through this drill. This causes the player to move from side to side, with no forward or backward movement.
Vertical & Horizontal Oscillation - Medium: This drill combines "horizontal oscillation - medium" and "vertical oscillation" together, giving the player both variation in depth and width (only a medium width, not all the way to each singles line). The player is forced to move in all directions giving them a realistic hitting pattern but not working them too hard.
Two Line Drill - Medium: This is an easier version of the 2 line drill, providing the player with alternating forehands and backhands with less width between each ball. The medium distance between each shot tests the players endurance without pushing too hard. You can set the timing interval between each shot to make it easier or more difficult. This can also be used when two players are on the court, providing alternating shots to each player.
Two Line Drill with Vertical Oscillation - Wide: This is the same as the Two Line Drill - Wide, only this time vertical oscillation has been added. Shots will alternate between wide forehands and backhands (very difficult) but the depth will also vary at the same time, providing shorter balls for the easy put away. This is the most physically challenging drill available.
Two Line Drill with Vertical Oscillation - Medium: This is the same as the Two Line Drill - Medium, only this time vertical oscillation has been added. Shots will alternate between wide forehands and backhands (only a medium width of the court) but the depth will also vary at the same time, providing shorter balls for the easy put away.
Two Line Drill with Vertical Oscillation - Narrow: This is the same as the Two Line Drill - Narrow, only this time vertical oscillation has been added. Shots will alternate between forehands and backhands but the depth will also vary at the same time, providing shorter balls for the easy put away.

NFL Commissioner Finally Discovers Racism
Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League (NFL), put out a statement condemning "racism and the systematic oppression of black people". He said, "black lives matter". And he said that the NFL was "wrong for not listening to NFL players and encouraging all players to speak out and peacefully protest".
This all came from the head of the sports league that has, in the past, tried to silence black NFL players who have protested against racial injustice.
In 2016, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick was one of the first players to take a knee during the playing of the national anthem. Kaepernick spoke out against racism, as did other players like Eric Reid. In retaliation, the NFL owners blackballed Kaepernick. No one would hire Kaepernick, who was one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL. Even though Kaepernick and Reid reached a settlement of a lawsuit against the NFL, Kaepernick still hasn't been offered a job by any team.
In 2017, many other NFL players were protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. After these players were attacked by Donald Trump (who said the "son of a bitches" should be fired) and were criticized by some racist white fans and the media, the NFL tried to enact a policy requiring players to stand for the anthem.
But now this same league commissioner, speaking for the same league owners, is speaking out against racism and supporting players protesting. What changed?
Maybe it is the fact that hundreds of thousands of people across the country are taking to the streets to protest the murder of George Floyd. And maybe it is not a coincidence that Goodell's statement came one day after many star NFL players, including Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, put out a video demanding that the NFL condemn racism, say that "black lives matter" and that the league admit it was wrong for trying to silence NFL players. Goodell's statement matched almost word-for-word what the players were demanding in their video.
Maybe the league commissioner and league owners realized that without the NFL players, 70% of whom are black, there is no NFL, there is no multi-billion-dollar TV contract, and there is no money going into the pockets of the team owners.

Good Ol' Review: tvN's Crash Landing On You is Worth the Hype… and Then Some
Good Ol' Review
TYPE OF REVIEW
: GOOD OL' REVIEW
Very minor spoilers.
It's easy to see why Crash Landing on You (사랑의 불시착) captured hearts all over the world.
The series about a South Korean heiress (Son Ye Jin) getting blown off-course during a paragliding ride, crash landing on the other side of the border and then falling in love with a North Korean soldier (Hyun Bin) is a deft mix of romance, drama, comedy and real world politics.
Maintaining a delicate balance throughout the series run, Crash Landing on You at first lulls you into a false sense of rom-com security before you are shocked to find the tears rolling down your cheek after an emotional moment. (Of which there are plenty.) One minute you are giddy and kilig, the next you are bawling your eyes out.
Stars Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin are no strangers to romantic drama and that experience shows as they lead the series as Yoon Se-ri and Ri Jeong-hyuk through the twists and turns that any star-crossed lovers experience on the way to their happy ending.
And while this isn't the first drama series with the division of the Korean peninsula as a backdrop, it certainly breaks new ground.
There's no question the love story between Se-ri and Jeong-hyuk is the main attraction. But the series was most intriguing and eye-opening when the contrasts between South and North took center stage. Whether it was Se-ri adjusting to life in the small military family border village or her new North Korean friends marveling at capitalism in the modern and bustling Seoul metropolis.
There's obviously a perception about North Korea based solely on the actions of the ruling Kim family. But often forgotten is the plight of regular North Korean citizens. Those not in the elite or in the inner circle. Crash Landing on You was a stark reminder that it is quite possible and maybe even necessary to separate the general North Korean public from the ruling class of the hermit kingdom.
The series may have probably presented the best case for reunification of any South Korean drama or film. Crash Landing on You does not make any specific political statements. But the prevailing feeling, for those of us in the world free to watch the drama, is that you hope the long-suffering North Korean people may be able to enjoy the freedoms that are easily enjoyed across the border.
The series' most sincere and heartfelt moments came during those moments of stark contrast. And out of those contrasts, connections. For families to reconnect and the Korean people to exchange culture and ideas long blocked from being shared.
Crash Landing on You is an adventure. There is action. There is danger around every corner.
But the series' biggest appeal really is the fun and the charm that is brought to life by an excellent ensemble cast. Between the romance and the lighthearted comedy and the heartwarming moments with some explosive action and soapy family drama sprinkled around, the series is a quick and easy watch. And that is even as episodes run anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes long. Yet, each episode flies by so quickly, leaving you wanting much more by the end. Especially with the series' knack for capping each episode with an effective and welcome punch in the gut before saying goodbye for that episode.
If you are wondering what all the hype over Crash Landing on You is about, the best answer to that is "Just watch it." Indeed, you'll only need to get through the first episode to see just why the series has captivated people all over the world.

What makes Khukuri House (KHHI) so special ?
We at KHHI belive that our factory, raw materials, kamis, making process, quality control, business ethics and mostly the passion in khukuri makes us special. We are specially known for hand forged kukri knives from Nepal.
Khukuri House with the change in the name for growth and dedication, now particularly known as KHUKURI HOUSE HANDICRAFT INDUSTRY is set up in the capital city (Kathmandu) to substantially increase production, upgrade quality and to monitor a number of small factories KHHI has in east Nepal. Besides this, the main objective is to standardize the khukuri industry that has been running locally in grassroots level and also to provide kamis the better opportunities and facilities. The main speciality of KHHI is to have its own manufacturing industry in the heart of capital city, fully registered under the Nepalese Governments Terms and Conditions.
We would like to bring to your notice that KHHI is the only company (first) in Nepal that runs its own factory and is directly involve in both manufacturing and retailing sectors (directly selling to customers).
Khukuri House Handicraft Industry vows personally to bring worldwide recognition and respect to the historic khukuri knife and its commitment to uplifting the status of Kamis financially and socially. KH now known as KHHI was established with an objective to improve the quality of khukuri, save the name of khukuri and give worldwide recognition to this most feared and legendary knife so we at KHHI put in our every effort to produce the very best quality and give excellent services to achieve this objective.
Everyone from laborers to staff to owners (ex – Gurkhas) work hard round the clock tirelessly to produce quality khukuris that would not only serve a buyer effectively but would also earn respect and admiration from the user. A marvelous piece of craftsmanship that would live up to the legacy and fame of the khukuri that it carries and appeals to the world. We use the finest and strongest raw materials that are locally available and are also imported from India when necessary. Raw materials are checked, re-checked and selected before they are finally put to use. Kamis then do what they do the best; expertise within that has been passed down to them from generations; they turn a raw material into a real masterpiece. We make sure that our khukuri are made in a very traditional ways (hand forged, hand made ) by using only basic tools so that we can keep the tradition alive and that the khukuri remains as pure and distinctive work of art that is completely hand crafted. Top quality and maintaining traditional methods despite of all the emerging modern technology have always been our prime focus. The finished products are also checked and tested several times over before they are finally approved for selling and exporting. All the making process undertaken by KHHI is very traditional, the same old method that has been handed over from generation to generation within the kamis. See KHHI Quality process in detail.
Blade-smith and khukuri forging is religion, tradition, livelihood, everyday life and above all passion and expression at KHHI. Making quality khukuri is a very laborious and time consuming that requires a great skill, hard work and endurance. Craftsmen at KHHI despite all these hurdles undertake their job skillfully and sincerely. A single khukuri demands 3 kamis to work for 3 long days to have it achieved into what we call at KHHI a PERFECT khukuri that claims the hallmark of the authentic khukuri. The making process goes through painstaking step by step process from weighing to heating to forging to chising to tempering to filing to sharpening etc each step executed brilliantly and systematically. It is a pure team work, done by the professionals who have earned the fame and honor as the "Born khukuri makers".

First Marijuana-Based Medicine for Epilepsy Now Available in the U.S.
Published: Nov 01, 2018 By Mark Terry
GW Pharmaceuticals, with offices in London, UK and Carlsbad, Calif., announced that its Epidiolex (cannabidiol) for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) or Draven syndrome is now available in the United States. It will be marketed by its subsidiary Greenwich Biosciences.
The drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 25, 2018. It is the first prescription formulation of highly purified, plant-derived cannabidiol (CBD), a form of cannabis that does not have the chemicals in it that produces the "high" associated with marijuana.
"We are delighted to announce that Epidiolex is now available by physician prescription as a new treatment option for patients with LGS and Dravet syndrome, two of the most difficult-to-treat forms of childhood-onset epilepsy," stated Justin Gover, GW Pharma's chief executive officer. "Because these patients have historically not responded well to available seizure medications, there has been a dire need for new therapies to aim to reduce the frequency and impact of seizures."
In order to help patients get access to the drug, the company has created EPIDIOLEX Engage. It offers patient/caregiver-focused education and resources on how to decrease out-of-pocket costs for the drug.
Epidiolex is manufactured out of marijuana grown in the U.K. The company is, according to Bloomberg, "quick to distance themselves from the medical-marijuana industry. They say they don't produce homeopathic elixirs for sale in herbal stores."
The marijuana is grown in high-tech glass greenhouses that are kept at a constant 20 to 25 degrees centigrade and have computerized systems that control the temperatures and manage energy demands of keeping the light and temperature. Consistency in the plants' growth makes manufacturing and purifying the drug easier.
The company's research facility in the UK grows approximately 200 varieties of cannabis. They contain at least 100 varieties of cannabinoids or compounds. The psychoactive chemical is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Epidiolex uses a separate chemical, cannabidiol (CBD).
Gover told Bloomberg,"We have given all the data a regulator needs to assess whether the drug is safe, whether it works, and whether it's made appropriately. We have been able to meet that standard for a cannabis-based medicine, and that is historic—no other company has ever done that."
The clinical development program included three Phase III clinical trials and an open-label extension trial.
In the U.S., marijuana is controlled on the same federal classification as LSD and heroin. As a result, even though Epidiolex was approved in June, the company had to work to get the drug rescheduled to a lower category before commercial sale. In September, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) classified the drug as a Schedule V substance, which opened it up to prescription sales. Marijuana and CBD remain Schedule I substances.
The list price is $1,235 per 100 ml bottle. As a result, the company believes there will be a weighted average gross price in the first year of treatment of $32,500, consistent with other anti-epileptic drugs on the market. LGS and Dravet patients are typically resistant to anti-epilepsy therapies.
The drug is being studied for other forms of epilepsy, including tuberous sclerosis complex. GW manufactures the first cannabis-plant derived prescription drug, Sativex. Sativex was sold in Europe and other countries outside the U.S. for spasticity related to multiple sclerosis. The company is expected to evaluate Sativex in Phase III trials in the U.S.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb stated, "Adequate and well-controlled clinical studies supported Epidiolex's approval, so prescribers can have confidence in the drug's uniform strength and consistent delivery that support appropriate dosing needed for treating patients with these complex and serious epilepsy syndromes. The FDA will continue to support rigorous scientific research on the potential medical uses of marijuana-derived products and stand ready to work with product developers who are interested in bringing patients safe and effective, high quality products."

In addition to the subjects above, I have taught mathematics, social skills, organizational skills, and study skills. I am a hard worker and love seeing students of all ages and abilities succeed!

Q: Extract internal contours (HOLES) OpenCV Isn't there a way to extract or display holes, while discarding exterior contours?
I can display exterior contours only, by using CV_RETR_EXTERNAL but there seems to be no way for displaying interior contours (holes) only.

A: You could use something like this with the C interface:
cvFindContours(tmp, storage, &srcSeq, sizeof(CvContour),
                       CV_RETR_LIST, CV_CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE);
        while (srcSeq)
        {
            if (CV_IS_SEQ_HOLE(srcSeq))
            {
                // do something with the hole
            }
            srcSeq = srcSeq->h_next;
        }

If you are using the C++ interface then you will have to use the hierarchy parameter from FindContours() to see if a contour is a hole.
