grandest and most complete statement of its aesthetic ideals. Ornate architectural framework is all painted in three dimensions, figures escape their frames, the whole is breathtakingly dense. In Triumph of the Name of Jesus (II Gesu, Rome), Giovanni Battisti Gaulli (1639-1709) took the small step to convert Pietro da Cortona's simulated spaces into three dimensional reality. Here, colorful three dimensional stucco work is combined with painted forms and superimposed on the architecture.
Baroque opulence gave way to the lighter, more personal style of Rococo. Fresco became even more of a decorative device, appearing as singular figures in corners and small scenes on ceilings. Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770) used fresco for many decorative works in homes. Eventually the process was nearly lost.
At the beginning of the 19th cent. a group of young German artists formed a brotherhood to live and work in common, motivated by a desire to revive the religious brotherhood of St. Luke of the Middle Ages. Eventually they called themselves the Nazarenes, a name originally used by others in derision. They moved to Rome and lived in an abandoned cloister, S. Isadoro, where they became stylistically influenced by the High Renaissance. They felt that monumental fresco was exactly the thing to express their aesthetic ideals and, after much searching, were able to find one Italian old-timer who could give them the rudiments. They convinced patrons to allow them to experiment and today there are frescoes in the Zuccari Palace in Rome and in several places in Berlin. The influence of the Nazarenes was considerable. They were the first secessionist art movement ever created; stylistically, they helped create the classical style of painting. More importantly, to our minds, they kept fresco alive.
structure of wall painting in general. These skills he brought back to his home in Mexico and used them to help create what is now known as the great Mural Renaissance of Mexico.
Rivera, in turn, influenced and trained artists who eventually made up the W.P.A. in the United States, the government program which was responsible for so much of the nation's monumental art. Many post offices, for instance, have been adorned with murals, some of which are frescoes. It is his method that we learned from his apprentices, Stephen Dimitroff and Lucienne Bloch. Muralists in their own right, they have frescoes all over the country, from San Francisco to Flint, MI, to New York City, and have passed their knowledge on to many students. A mural-sized fresco is a cooperative effort and demands, at least, one person to plaster while another paints. However, small, portable frescoes are possible for one person to attempt and we hope our instructions offer a no-tears, step-by-step process to make them.
1. Lime. Must be high in calcium. Quicklime will give you the highest calcium content, but is very dangerous to handle, so I recommend a hydrated high-calcium lime. Bell-Mine is a good brand.
2. Expanded metal lath. Any metal used must be galvanized to prevent rust.
3. Portland Cement. Pure white.
4. Orange Label Sisal Paper.
·#20—#30 — or fine — for the intonaco (or painting) coat.
Sand comes in different colors, all of which will change your painting base color. White marble dust will give you a very white, sparkly finish; browner sand will tone down your finish some. During the Renaissance, many artists used volcanic sand, which left a slightly blue-grey surface. Experiment to find the background you like best.
Once you have the lime at home you must slake it — that is, put it into water. You will need a plastic container with a lid, a new, clean garbage can works well. Fill about one third with water and sift the lime through your fingers into it, until it peaks. Add water and more lime until the container is full; cap it, and put it aside — somewhere where it won't freeze — for a minimum of three months. This is done to prevent cracking; the longer lime slakes, the more elastic it becomes. Renaissance masters wouldn't use lime less than three years old — but one month will suffice.
Now we have plenty of time to work on drawings and panel construction. Drawings are done to scale and a full-sized cartoon should be made. Once sizes are determined, panels can be made. This can be done any number of ways. I use particle board or plywood, exterior grade, 3/8-in, thick works well, up to about 24-in, square panels, 3/4-in. thick works up to about 4 x 8 foot. Anything larger constitutes a wall, and does not fall within the realm of this article. Each wall creates its own set of problems. I cut the panel to size and frame it with lattice to protect the edges, barbed nails or screws work best. Then I lay down a piece of Orange Label Sisal Paper to prevent the flow of moisture in either direction. Over this goes the metal lath, trimmed to size with tin snips, which is attached with U-shaped nails or staples, galvanized or stainless. Now you are ready for plastering.
Plaster is applied in five coats to a combined thickness of 5/8—7/8-in. This many coats are applied for three reasons: to give strength, to prevent cracking, and to extend the life (or painting time) of the final coat.
The first coat consists of 1 1/2 parts mixture of #16 and #18 sand or marble dust, one part pure white Portland Cement, and one part lime putty (slaked lime). These must be mixed and beaten until fully incorporated. The cement will cause this mix to harden, so don't mix up any more than you can use in a short time.
Plastering is a learned craft, and difficult to explain without physical demonstration. The angle at which the trowel is held is most important, too steep and you will draw the plaster, too flat and the trowel will stick and pull the plaster up. Use the largest trowel for most of the plastering, the smaller will help a-round the edges. Plaster must be applied in long even strokes, smoothing as you go. Start at the bottom and work up. A firm hand is needed as plaster should be applied with as much pressure as possible. Each coat must be worked in all directions to insure against cracking. All this may sound vague, but after you have had some practice it will make sense. The first coat should be thoroughly scratched I use a small piece of the metal lathe as a comb and scratch in all direction. This should be given a few days to fully cure.
The next three ("brown") coats consist of two parts #18 (medium) sand or marble dust, and one part lime putty. This mixture will not set up unless exposed to air, so mix up enough for all three coats and store in a bucket with a little water floating on top, covered to keep out dirt and dust.
The first coat must be wet down before the application of the second. I use a plastic squeeze bottle. Stand the panel on end and start at the top, letting the water soak down. You want the surface wet but with no standing water. The second coat is applied in the same manner as the first — worked in all directions — to a thickness of about 1/8-in., and "floated." Floating is done by first wetting the wood float, then placing it flat against the surface, working in a circular motion, with light pressure, over the entire surface. Let the float do the work. It will smooth the high spots and make low spots evident. Work at the surface, taking plaster from the high spots and adding it to the low spots, until it's a smooth, flat plane. This must also sit a few days to cure.
The second coat must be wet down before the application of the third. The third coat is applied, worked, and floated in the same manner as the second, and allowed to cure. In mural painting this coat is called the sinopia, where the drawing is enlarged, drawn on over the entire wall, corrected for perspective and other errors, all in red ochre pigment and water. The sinopia is then used for tracings of the work to be done each day. Because painting may only continue as long as the plaster is still wet, each "days work" (giornata) consists of the size area the artist can paint in about an eight hour period. After tracing, the final two coats are applied over just the area to be painted that day. While this is being done, the tracing is perforated. After the polishing of the intonaco is completed, the tracing is lined up in its place and pounced with a small cloth bag filled with black pigment. This transfers the drawing onto the finish surface with neat, black, dotted lines to follow. For panels small enough to be painted in one sitting, a full-size cartoon will be enough, as it may be perforated for final transfer, omitting the sinopia altogether.
It is imperative to have your cartoon and colors prepared before the final coats of plaster are applied, because the plaster will be drying — and time spent doing something else is lost painting time.
The proper pigments for use in fresco are oxides of metal, mostly earth colors — vine black, red ochre, burnt sienna, cobalt blue, raw sienna, viridian green, yellow ochre, terre verte (green earth), Mars yellow, Mars black, Venetian red. The pigments must be lime-proof and sunfast. Lime is caustic and will burn through most organic or man-made pigments; yet some more primitive methods have lasted 3,000 years. So, if you pay attention to details now, you will produce a piece of work that will be around a very long time. Daniel Smith, out of Seattle, produces a line of good quality pigments. All of the above are available through him.
Pigments must be ground in distilled water to a state of suspension — that is, until each particle is completely surrounded by, or suspended in, water. I find this takes about 20 minutes for the softer ones and up to an hour for the harder ones. For grinding, I use a four-pound glass muller and a piece of glass, about 18—24 in., square. Place the muller over the pigment and work in a circular motion. Every so often draw the pigment back to the center with a palette knife and start again. Water may be added as needed; you will find a point where the muller just floats over the pigment, this is the correct wetness. To test for suspension keep a small jar of water on the side and touch a small amount of color to the surface; if it floats, it's ready. Care should be taken to make sure the colors are kept clean. If they are kept wet they may be stored in jars indefinitely for later use. If they dry out, they must be reground.
Now, with all things assembled, we are ready for the final coats and, at last, painting. The third coat must be wet down before the application of the fourth coat. The fourth coat is applied, worked, and floated in the same manner as the third. This must be left alone after application, 15 minutes to an hour (depending on conditions) until set. The fifth and final coat consists of one part #20 sand or marble dust, and one part lime putty. NOTE: the fourth and fifth coats together are called the intonaco.
The final coat of the intonaco is applied as thinly as possible as it is only for smoothing the surface. Care should be taken to keep the trowel clean so as not to deposit any large aggregate or foreign matter into the intonaco, wipe the trowel off in between swipes. It should not be worked too much, smooth as you go. Use a side light to locate and remove all streaks and low spots. No floating is done to the intonaco, rather it is polished. In order to polish the surface properly, it is necessary to file the 4 1/2-in. end of your large trowel to a rounded edge. Once the intonaco is set, gently, using a tap and draw motion, beat the surface with this rounded edge. This will bring up the flat side of the angular aggregate and draw the lime up around it. A very hard, flat, and smooth surface may be obtained in this manner.
To test the surface for painting readiness, a brush dipped in water may be stroked across it. If the water is directly absorbed, the surface is ready. If it lays on top, you must wait. When the surface is ready, the cartoon is laid on top, correctly lined up, and pounced. If you prefer, the drawing may be gently incised into the plaster by drawing over the cartoon lines with a pointed, blunt tool, in which case you dispense altogether with the perforations and pouncing. A side light is essential for this method; both ways of transferring are visible in most wall-sized frescoes.
brushes work best. Ox hair and sable are too soft and hold too much water. Also, they are expensive and, over a period of time, lime will eat whatever brush you use. Depth is best achieved by setting one's values first. For this I prefer to use black, although I have seen other colors used. Pigment is applied thinly with water, waiting 15 to 20 minutes between coats, allowing the crystallization process to lock-in each layer. Once the "shadows" have been laid in, the color is traditionally applied in a hatching, cross-hatching manner, layer-upon-layer, light-to-dark, the white of the surface remaining bare for the lightest lights, being certain to wait the prescribed time for crystallization between each coat. The colors are transparent it may take several coats to achieve a decent shade. Hues and shades may be mixed either on the palette or on the surface through layering. If a little lime is mixed with the pigment it will become more opaque. Work until you feel the brush begin to drag on the surface. This means the plaster is too dry and any color applied after this point is likely not to adhere. If five coats of plaster are used, you should get about six to eight hours of painting time. If your work does not require this amount of time, fewer coats may be used. Never use less than three coats; use coats 1, 4 and 5, which will give you from two to four hours. Upon curing, the lime will whiten, and you may expect up to a 200/o color loss. This becomes more of a problem on day-to-day color matching when painting a large piece, but should nevertheless be dealt with accordingly on any size piece.
Frescoes are found all over the world in many artistic traditions: Tibetan monasteries abound with them; the Indian fresco buono is similar to the methods we use; Pre-Columbian frescoes are found in the New World; the Chinese of 3,000 years ago painted on lime-plastered walls of straw and cow-dung. In fact, the technique of painting with lime and pigment is so wide-spread, and so uniformly ancient, that no one knows who first thought of it. The raw materials are geographically fairly common and easy to collect and process. To take simple, everyday materials, sand and stone and colored clay, and mix them together to create long-lived works of incredible beauty is to partake in the magic of alchemy. We hope you are able to glimpse this magic through our brief introduction.

Methi dal is a flavoured and versatile curry which goes well with rotis/chapatis as well as withsteamed rice. Methi leaves and its seeds are well known body coolants. Methi leaves could be included in various methods in cooking. I have already shared Methi Masala Vada and Methi Thepla recipes.
This curry could be prepared using either toor dhal or with Moong dhal as per your fancy. But here I am preparing by adding toor dhal and moong dhal in a 2: 1 ratio. Toor dal gives the coarse texture and moong dal gives the smooth texture to the curry.Adding tomatoes to this curry is optional. Add very little if you wish to add.
Remove the methi leaves from the stem; wash them with enough water to remove the clay and sand sticking in it. Drain the water allow to dry.
In a pressure cooker add the toor dal, moong dal together with turmeric powder and two and half cups of water; pressure cook for three whistles.
Meantime, heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds once it starts to crackle add the chopped onion and green chilli. Cook till the onion becomes translucent.
Now add the chopped ginger and garlic and cook till the falvour arises for about thirty seconds.
Add the tomatoes very less numbers / quantity if you wish to add them. Cook till it starts to become mushy.
Now add the methi leaves and cook for about thirty seconds till it wilt and reduce in size.
Now add the red chilli powder and salt. Mix well and add the cooked dal mixture. Slightly mash the dal before adding if required.
Add half a cup of water to dilute the thick dal. Mix well with a ladle.
Bring it to boil. Once the curry starts to bubble check the salt and switch off the gas.
Serve with hot rice, papad and a dry subzi or with rotis/chapatis.
Squeeze few drops of lime juice if you are not adding tomatoes in the curry.
healthy.. i also prepare this very often..
Methi dal good for diabetics.

Leaving no doubt: Bulldogs throttle rival Yellow Jackets, 33-8
Published 11:35 pm Friday, September 29, 2017
Jahzarian Lampley rushed for three touchdowns in Pike County's 33-8 win over the Abbeville Yellow Jackets on Friday night in Brundidge.
The win for the Bulldogs improves their overall record on the season to 4-1.
The Bulldogs couldn't wait to get on the field to play their old friends from Abbeville, but it was well worth the wait.
"It felt really good," said head coach Fred Holland. "We made a few mistakes early in the first and second quarter. We came back and did a lot better in the third and fourth quarters. I am proud of the kids for doing that. We are trying to steadily get better."
Lampley along with his three touchdowns rushed for a team high 192 yards.
"He is steadily getting better," Holland said. "He started off a little slow, but he is improving and he is a leader. He doesn't speak a lot; his actions speak for him. He is one of our great leaders and we are proud of him right now."
Minus two first half turnovers, the Bulldogs had their way with the Yellow Jackets in the first half.
After a lengthy opening drive the Bulldogs fumbled the ball on what was the seventh play of the drive, giving the Yellow Jackets possession on their own 27.
The Bulldogs defense made a stand in their first possession After Abbeville went three and out, the Yellow Jackets elected to try a fake punt. The Bulldogs sniffed it out and took over deep into Abbeville territory.
Jahzarian Lampley capped off a five play drive with a six-yard touchdown run to put the Bulldogs up 7-0.
Abbeville looked to answer right away, but they were turned over on downs for the second time in the half. It didn't take on for the Bulldogs to take advantage. After a 29-yard run by Lampley, Zion Scott scored on a 31-yard run to put the Bulldogs up 14-0,
The Yellow Jackets had the ball in the red zone just once in the first half and it came late in the second quarter. With the ball near the five-yard line, Bulldog defender picked off a Yellow Jacket pass to keep Abbeville out of the end zone sending the game into half time with a 14-0 score.
With a little help by the Bulldogs, the Yellow Jackets went on a 15-play drive to begin the second half. On two separate fourth downs, the Bulldogs roughed a punter and allowed a successful fake punt attempt to extend the drive. Abbeville finished it off with a short dump pass to get on the board. After a successful two-point conversion, Abbeville cut the Bulldogs lead to 14-8 with 3:52 remaining in the third.
It was all Lampley on the corresponding drive. After returning the kick off to the Yellow Jacket 45, Lampley had two runs for 45 yards including a 41-yard touchdown. After a blocked extra point, the Bulldogs extended their lead to 20-8.
"That was very important," Holland said. "They were playing a safe defense and we were able to do that. That is something we can learn from. I am proud of our guys for coming back in the next series and punching it in. It shows that we are steadily improving.
In the fourth quarter, Lampley scored his third touchdown of the contest from over 40 yards out to put the Bulldogs up 26-8 and Darrick Myhand closed out the scoring with a 11-yard run to bring the score to 33-8.
The Bulldogs will return home next week for their final home game of the season to take on Central Coosa for homecoming.
"We really have to concentrate on Coosa," Holland said. "I know there are a lot of things that are going on. Homecoming is homecoming and we will be ready for it."
Kick off between Coosa and Pike County is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Zack Fine's "Bewilderness" is a Wild Ride
By Susie Potter • January 11, 2019
Zack Fine and Geoffrey Culbertson star in "Bewilderness." HuthPhoto
PlayMakers Repertory Company is known for bringing innovative theatre to the Triangle area, especially via its PRC2 series. Now, it's taking "innovative" to new heights with its current production, Bewilderness, a play written and directed by Zack Fine and on the stage for the first time ever.
This daring production is not afraid to break the fourth wall. In fact, it does so right from the start, figuratively and literally. The set features a small, barren cabin frame that is missing its fourth wall, a joke Zack Fine, who plays himself or a version of himself, alludes to throughout.
The play operates under the guise that Fine, through his writing of the play- this play- has managed to bring back a befuddled Henry David Thoreau (Geoffrey Culbertson). He also manages to bring back Ralph Waldo Emerson (David Adamson), their mother (Julia Gibson), and a host of other colorful characters, including a giant woodchuck (Jeffrey Blair Cornell).
"Bewilderness" features, from left, Zack Fine, Julia Gibson, Dan Toot, and Geoffrey Culbertson. HuthPhoto
As these crazy characters interact and talk about everything from Thoreau's difficulties with writing to his eventual success and the loss of his dear brother (Dan Toot), there are lots of diversions and digressions. These include musical numbers from a trio of doctors, as well as remarks and criticism on the current state of society and of America in particular.
Throughout all this, the characters desperately want to know what the play's about and what it all means. The answer regularly repeated is that "We don't know yet." And while it would be easy to think that the play itself has fallen into this trap, it seems that's exactly what Fine wants to happen. He has created a "super meta" play that is much like Thoreau's failed first work…but on purpose.
This is an oddly-strung together production that's about failure and the fear of it, transcendentalism, change, and loss. It also purports itself as a eulogy. Who it's a eulogy for, however, is undetermined. While Fine alludes to this in the production, it's unclear if it's for a person, for our nation, or perhaps even for our humanity. Perhaps it's a little bit of all three.
While Fine's message, through purposefully so, is a bit muddled, this production is definitely innovative and spirited. It elicits serious thought, which, at the end of the day, is what theatre, especially experimental theatre, is all about.

Q: splitting array and export values while adjusting the sections in matlab / octave How can I adjust this code to have it so the Output will add items at the beginning and the end of each section?
Working Code example:
values = 1 : 11;
binSize = 3;
fileNum = 1;
n = numel(values);
for i = 1 : binSize : n
   part = values(i : min(n, i + binSize - 1));
   fprintf('File %d contains %s\n', fileNum, mat2str(part));
   fileNum = fileNum + 1;
end

-
Output:

File 1 contains [1 2 3]
File 2 contains [4 5 6]
File 3 contains [7 8 9]
File 4 contains [10 11]

How can I adjust this code to have it so the Output will add items at the beginning and the end of each section?
Example of output I'm looking for:
Output I'm looking for:

File 1 contains [1 1 1 2 3 3 3]
File 2 contains [4 4 4 5 6 6 6]
File 3 contains [7 7 7 8 9 9 9]
File 4 contains [10 10 10 11 11 11]

The reason why I'm doing it this way:
I have an array of audio wave files that I want to use to fade in and fade out for each section.

A: Edit your fprintf part with a padarray implementation that replicates data at the border elements (end and beginning) along the row, as shown here -
fprintf('File %d contains %s\n', fileNum, mat2str(padarray(part,[0 2],'replicate')));

Now, padarray is part of the Image Processing Toolbox, which if you don't have, you can use repmat instead, as shown next -
part_mod = [repmat(part(1),1,2) part repmat(part(end),1,2)];
fprintf('File %d contains %s\n', fileNum, mat2str(part_mod));

Mac Threats and Malware Are on the Rise – But Should You Be Worried?
By Mike Peterson Published: Dec 17th, 2019
Credit: Achilleas Chiras / Shutterstock
Threats to macOS were on the rise throughout 2019, according to a new report by anti-malware maker Malwarebytes.
The company's data shows that, out of the top 25 threat detections in 2019, about six were Mac-specific threats. All in all, Mac threats and malicious programs made up about 16 percent of total detections this year.
That may not sound like a lot, but it's a significant number because Mac users make up only 1/12 of Malwarebyte's user base.
"Perhaps 16 percent doesn't sound impressive, but when you consider the number of devices on which these threats were detected, the results become extremely interesting," Malwarebytes wrote.
This year marked a turning point for Mac malware, too. According to the firm, 2019 is the first time that Mac threats broke into the top five most commonly detected malware.
As far as what threats were actually detected, it's important to note that Mac malware is typically made up of "unwanted programs" or adware rather than more malicious software.
One of those Mac threats is NewTab, which ranked as the second most common malware detection last year. NewTab can only target Chrome browsers, but can use extensions to modify the content of webpages that a user loads.
Another of the top five threats was PUP-PCVARK, a "potentially unwanted program" that earns that designation because it may not be something that a user installed intentionally.
Malwarebytes says that, according to its data, there were on average 9.8 detections per Mac, compared to 4.2 per Windows.
So, Should I Be Worried?
But, again, there are some caveats with that data. Take into account that most Mac users don't believe that anti-malware or anti-virus is necessary — and Malwarebytes only gathers data from machines that actually have its app installed.
Because of that, it's likely that the Macs used for these figures already had some type of "suspected infection" that caused users to download the program.
Even Malwarebytes, a company that stands to benefit from users downloading its app, believes that the overall rate of Mac malware is likely lower than what its own numbers suggest.
With all of that being said, there are definitely malicious programs out there that can affect your Mac. So we recommend keeping some simple tips in mind to keep your device safe.

Faraday Copper Closes Upsized C$20 Million Equity Offering
Thursday, May 5, 2022 5:05 PM
Faraday Copper Corp.
https://faradaycopper.com/
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2022 / Faraday Copper Corp. ("Faraday" or the "Company") (CSE:FDY) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced and upsized private placement (the "Private Placement") for gross proceeds of C$20 million.
Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented "I would like to thank all of our shareholders for their support and I am delighted with the continued endorsement from our key strategic investors, including the Lundin family, Murray Edwards, and Pierre Lassonde, who now collectively own approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding shares of Faraday."
Adam Lundin commented "We are pleased to support Faraday and the team as they advance their two US copper projects. Their focus on creating shareholder value through a disciplined technical approach is consistent with how we have, and continue to, operate our own businesses in the Lundin Group."
Pursuant to the Private Placement, Faraday issued 25,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.80 per share for gross proceeds of C$20 million. The Private Placement was not subject to finders' fees or commissions and the shares issued under the Private Placement have a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to advance the Company's Copper Creek and Contact Copper projects as well as for general working capital purposes.
Paul Harbidge, Russell Ball, Zach Allwright, Katherine Arnold, Audra Walsh, Randy Engel and Rob Doyle, all insiders of the Company, subscribed for C$1,150,000 (1,437,500 common shares) under the Private Placement, which constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance to the insiders of the Company is exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) as the Company's shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration of the shares issued to the related parties did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement because the Company wanted to complete the private placement in a timely manner.

News Featured, Washington Weekly
The Washington Weekly: Stimulus, Shutdown or Both?
After 6+ months of negation, Congress appears to be on the brink of passing an additional stimulus bill. The package, which will most likely be attached to the year-end funding bill, looks to be approaching $1 trillion dollars but is not expected to include additional direct funding to state and local governments.
While the package provides little additional help for issuers, certain sectors are expected to receive some relief. These include:
Education funding for K-12 and higher-ed,
Transportation sector funding,
Health care, and
The next steps at this juncture are uncertain. An additional short-term funding resolution is possible so that these discussions can continue into the weekend, or even a short shut down, but all indications are that Congress will act prior to the Christmas holiday.
The lack of funding to state and locals puts the early 2021 legislative calendar in-flux. Congressional leaders continue to issue promises that state and local aid will be revisited in early 2021, however, skeptics abound due to the continued struggles to pass stimulus measures in 2020. This could slow progress on issues such as infrastructure in which the BDA continues laying the groundwork for bond provisions to be included.
Transition Update:
Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg Nominated to Lead Infrastructure Push
Former South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, has been officially nominated for Secretary of DOT. While this role is historically a mid-range Cabinet post, due to President-Elect Biden's focus on infrastructure and his "Build Back Better" plan, DOT will likely play an outsized role in 2021.
Buttigieg is no stranger to the municipal market. During his tenure as Mayor, South Bend had dozens of bonds issued including general obligation bonds to bonds for park districts and economic development among others. South Bend had a dramatic economic turnaround during this tenure, mostly focusing on innovative infrastructure.
Infrastructure was also a pillar of the Mayor's platform during his brief presidential run. While there was no direct mention of municipal bonds, he focused heavily on transit and pushed for the continued funding of the Highway Trust Fund which was part of the House Moving Forward Act.
Fed Recap:
Powell Calls for Additional Debt Purchases
While noting economic predictions have improved mildly, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell continues to call for additional Congressional and Fed action and continued purchase of Federal debt. He also reiterated that the task of curbing government spending should be set aside until a time when "the economy is strong and when unemployment is low."
Powell noted: "The Federal Reserve will continue to increase its holdings of Treasury securities by at least $80 billion per month and of agency mortgage-backed securities by at least $40 billion per month until substantial further progress has been made toward the Committee's maximum employment and price stability goals."
Further, Powell also discussed the future of the American economy, while pressing Congress to take additional action regardless of projections. He also urged Congressional Leadership not to worry about debt and deficits in this time or need stating:
"We've always looked at debt to GDP, and we're very high by that measure. By some other measures, we're actually not that high. In particular, you can look at real interest rate payments — what does it cost? And from that standpoint, if you sort of take real interest costs of the federal deficit and divide that by GDP, we're actually on a more sustainable fiscal path."

A new study has revealed that the frequency and duration of heatwaves have increased
A new study has found that the frequency and duration of heatwaves around the world has increased. Our planet has been exposed to more frequent and longer-lasting heatwaves over the past 70 years, according to research published in Nature Communications.
There has been an increase in the frequency and duration of heatwaves almost anywhere in the world since the 1950s, according to a new study that has extensively assessed regional heatwaves across the globe. In other words, almost every part of the planet has been exposed to heatwaves that have been more frequent and longer over the past 70 years.
The research, published in Nature Communications, also produced a new metric called 'cumulative temperature', which reveals how much heat is present in each heat wave and heat wave seasons. The results showed that the cumulative heat Average was increasing with each passing day.
Cumulative heat rises from 1 to 4.5 degrees Celsius every decade:
According to this metric, in 2009, Australia's worst heatwave season, there was an additional 80 degrees Celsius of cumulative heat across the country. However, an additional 200 degrees Celsius of cumulative heat was felt during the most extreme heatwaves in areas such as Russia and the Mediterranean. The global cumulative heat average increases by about 1 to 4.5 degrees Celsius over a decade, according to the study.
Global averages of cumulative heat have increased from 1 to 4.5 degrees Celsius in 10 years, said Dr. Sarah Perkins Kirkpatrick points out that this average is up to 10 degrees Celsius in parts of the Middle East and Africa and South America.
No detectable uplift occurred in heat wave intensity:
The only metric that did not experience any acceleration, on the other hand, was heat wave intensity, which measures the average temperature across heat waves. The researchers say no detectable uplift has occurred on this metric as heat waves last more frequently and longer around the world, only a detectable increase in average heat wave intensity has been observed in small parts of South Australia and Africa and South America.
Speaking about the subject, Dr. Perkins Kirkpatrick said the change in the number of heat waves by region over the past 70 years, and the rapid increase in the number of these events, is the clearest indication that global warming is now with us and accelerating, and a clear call to policymakers that urgent action is needed.

10 (10) HIGHWAYS AND NEIGHBOURHOODS FEES AND CHARGES – The Director of Places submitted a report seeking approval for fees and charges for the financial year 2015/16 in relation to the council's Neighbourhoods Cabinet Portfolio, and to approve the basis of future changes to fees and charges for the period 2016-2017.
Services were required to consider fees and charges annually in line with approved Corporate Charging policies.
Changes to fees and charges should take into account recovery of cost and budgeted inflation wherever possible. Council priorities and objectives also influenced proposals for amending fees and charges.
Some fees and charges were set by Government. The council had no discretion over these. The information in the appendix to the report indicated where these applied.
Resolved – (a) That the fees and charges for 2015/16, as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, be approved; (b) that an uplift in discretionary fees and charges to apply for the financial year 2016/17 for the services in question in line with CPI, be approved, and (c) that any future exceptions proposed to the above, as and when necessary, be considered.


If you're reading this, then chances are that you're on the hunt for a perfect self-tanner that won't leave you streaky or your belongings stained. No matter how many horror stories you've heard, it's possible to give yourself a flawless sunless tan from a bottle that's indistinguishable from the real deal without making a mess, provided that you know what you're doing. Here are our top three self tanning tips.
Yes. We know. It's impossible to read an article about self tan tips or the side of a self-tanner package without seeing the "exfoliate" tip. However, believe us when we say that this tip is included so often for good reason. Think of it this way: Let's say you found a slab of wood in the forrest. If you laid some stain or paint on it, it would probably look uneven and splotchy. But if you sanded it down first, you'd get a much more even finish.
Long story short: Exfoliate. You don't need any special tools. If you don't have any body scrub, just add some raw sugar to your favorite body wash.
While we're dedicated to customer satisfaction above anything else, we won't pay for the dry cleaning on your white duvet cover if you choose to self-tan in your bedroom.
No matter how much of a seasoned self-tanning pro you consider yourself to be, always do it in your shower, where any spilled or splattered product can easily be rinsed away.
Much like how regular tanners think they're slick enough to apply product in their bedroom without making a mess, a lot of regular tanners think that they can rush their work and get a good result.
Well, the truth is that applying a self tan foam or lotion requires a slow, steady and even application if you want it to look good. It's tempting to rush through it, but avoid temptation. A great application should take at least 10 minutes. Work slow with long, even strokes. Above all else, follow the instructions, even if you're the type to typically throw them away. Trust us, you'll like your finished look a lot better if you do it by the book.


For the original Flikr page please link to Southern Africa 2007.
There was not very much time in Cape Town but a visit was made to Table Mountain and the Waterfront.
Our route took us to Stellenbosch the wine capital of South Africa before traveling up the Garden Route as far as George where we turned inland to Oudtshoorn where we visited an Ostrich farm before camping near to the Cango Caves where some of us took the adventure route where we had to crawl through a 'letter box' and up a 'chimney'. The late opening at the caves lead to a dark arrival at Craddock for the night before an early departure for Lesotho.
Arriving in the dark and rain at Malealea we camped in a very large room for our stay here. Louise and I made a long walk the next day to a waterfall and caves where we could see some rock drawings. The bad weather forced us to move on a day early for Dundee.
The camp at Dundee was a favorite as it h ad animals roaming, lakes and a 'Playground'! We left to visit the battlefields at Rorke's Drift. The garrison of 139 soldiers, 35 of whom were hospital patients, fought off an attack which lasted 12 hours. There were 600 Zulus and 17 British killed. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded. A late arrival at Milwane in Swaziland.
The camp site is located within a game reserve. The day was spent walking in the reserve seeing the animals including a trek up to Execution Rock. The following morning we visited a Cultural Village before our journey to Maputo.
After a day in Maputo we had a long drive through bush veldt to the small beach resort of Tofo.
Our next stop was further up the coast, after a long drive, to Villanclulos. Here I had four scuba dives out at two mile reef.
A long drive took us up the Biera corridor to camp near the Zimbabwe border.
Our first visit in Zimbabwe was to the Zimbabwe Ruins. This complex was started in the thirteenth century, took about 200 years to complete and was occupied for 300 years.
At Gweru we stayed at a nice lodge called Antelope Park. The activities I did included walking with Lions, horse ride to view the animals and a night stalk to teach the hand bred lions how to hunt.
A pleasant camp in the grounds of a bungalow in the suburbs of Bulawayo gave us the chance to visit Matoba National Park. Here we walked up to some caves where there were some excellent cave paintings and a walk in to see White Rhinos.
Next stop was Planet Baobab, a camp between Francistown and Chobe. A trip to the Makgadikgadi Pans gave a few of us the chance to Mere Cats and large numbers of Zebra.
Our visit to the Okavango delta started with a stay on Swamp Island. Here we took trips out by makoros to see the wildlife of the delta.
At Ngepi Camp, with its quirky bathrooms, gave time to relax and take further bird walks.
Back in Botswana we had an interesting boat trip on the river alongside the Chobe National Park to view elephants, hippos and other wildlife before watching the sun set.
Back in Zimbabwe we visited Hwange National Park again to see wildlife before moving on to Victoria Falls.
In Victoria Falls I took a night game drive, a canoe trip on the Zambezi, The Falls N.P., an early morning game drive and the activities from the gorge bridge. The distance traveled up to Victoria Falls totaled 5802 Kilometers.
Our welcome to Livingstone was having the truck broken into before leaving for Choma.

Taking centre stage of the presentation will be a large, four metre long carpet from Dieter Roth's Bali studio near Reykjavik. Embedded with traces of studio life, including the scribbles and drawings from his children's visits, this expanse of material is at once a visual document and a chance product of the artistic process itself. Formally reminiscent of works by Joan Miró or Arshile Gorky, Dieter Roth's studio carpet is exemplary of a seamless combination of art and life. His renowned Tischmatten (table mats) can also be read as cumulative diary of the artist's activities.

First Look: DX12 Performance in Rise of the Tomb Raider
Introduction & Test Setup
Focus on the 390X 8GB & Conclusion
Over the past several years, a lot has been said about how graphics APIs, the underlying programming language used to render images on screen, can help or hinder performance. Perhaps the biggest impetus for this discussion was AMD's release of its Mantle API, which showed much promise in big titles like Battlefield 4 and Thief. It used a new "closer to the metal" approach, which allowed game developers to get more direct access to a machine's capabilities than what was possible under Microsoft's DX11 API. In particuilar, it allowed the CPU to do more with fewer resources, helping boost performance on lower-end CPUs in particular.
Well, Microsoft was listening, and as part of the Windows 10 launch, it quietly released DX12. Quietly, in part, because at the time of the Windows 10 release in July 2015, there were no games that could show the benefits of DX12. Well, as we head into Spring 2016, there in fact are a number of new games harnessing the power of DX12, and perhaps the biggest so far is Rise of the Tomb Raider, which launched in January 2017, but was patched on March 11, 2016 with a new DX12 renderer. We put together some preliminary benchmarks using five different video cards to show what DX12 may have in store for Nvidia, AMD, and the entire gaming industry.
Test Setup
Our test system, pictured here, consisted of the following components:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K (overclocked to 4.4GHz)
Motherboard: Asus X99-Pro/USB3.1
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws4 4x8GB DDR4-2666
SSD #1: Samsung SM951 M.2 256GB
SSD #2: 2x Samsung 850 Evo 500GB in RAID0
Power Supply: EVGA Supernova 1000 PS
Case: Corsair Carbide 500R
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i v2
Monitor: Acer XB270HU
And here are the five video cards we tested:
Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X 4GB
XFX Radeon R9 390X DD 8GB
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW 4GB
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 SC 4GB
While all of these cards have some form of factory overclock, we set them all to reference speeds. We also loaded them up with the latest drivers, which in the case of AMD was Crimson Edition 16.3 Hotfix, releasd March 8, 2016, and for Nvidia, it was GeForce Version 364.51, also released March 8, 2016.
We ran all tests at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 using the "very high" preset, with a fixed refresh rate of 120Hz. The only thing we varied was whether we used the DX11 or DX12 code path. Note that for this change to take effect, the game must be restarted.
The results were a bit surprising, but not necessarily for the reasons you might imagine. Read on to find out what we learned!

Q: .NET Core runtime and SDK versions - target a specific runtime version? We recently received the below error at a customer site which had the .NET Core 2.1.23 runtime installed. It was easily resolved by installing .NET Core 2.1.25 runtime.
> dotnet .\OurApp.Web.dll
It was not possible to find any compatible framework version
The specified framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App, version '2.1.25' was not found.
 - The following versions are installed:
    2.1.23 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

Since the error outlined above, we have upgraded to .NET Core 3.1.
We'd quite like to specify a minimum version of the .NET Core runtime which we require our customers to install. Then we'd build future releases to work with that runtime version.
We'd like to not have to worry about the exact versions of VS/.NET/etc installed on different developer machines (and even build machines).
We know we can fix the .NET Core SDK version in our global.json. However with rollForward=disable that seems overly restrictive (e.g. fixing at 3.1.409 was good until updates removed the 3.1.409 SDK and installed 3.1.410). It seems we need rollForward=disable as the example table in the documentation has a row where only the minor version of the SDK changes (2.2.101 -> 2.2.102), but the runtime changes too (2.2.0 -> 2.2.1).
Am I misunderstanding something? How should we go about ensuring we can build DLLs that will run against a specific runtime version?
Would setting RuntimeFrameworkVersion help? Would it have preented the error we had at our customer site?
