Obituary for William Harry Schaffhausen
William "Bill" Schauffhausen was born to Robert and Anna Schaffhausen on September 9th, 1930 in St. Paul, Minnesota where he and his sisters were raised. He was the youngest of four children.
Upon graduation from high school, Bill joined the United States Air Force and proudly served his country for over 20 years. During his time in the armed forces, Bill was recognized for several major achievements and awards. As Major Command (MAJCOM), historically the highest level of command second only to Headquarters Air Force (HAF), Bill's wing unit logged over 1000 combat flight hours. His wing unit was one of three air fueling units along with 22 B-47 bombers to receive this recognition. Honorably held in confidence for much of he and his wife's life, revealed only to his family through VA military records, Bill was also an active member on the Bell X-1 Project, breaking the sound barrier alongside Chuck Yeager. He was one of two flight engineers to be selected for this highly secret project. Other medals and badges received during his service in the United States Air Force include the National Defence Service Medal with 1BSS, Air Force Good Conduct Medal with 1OLC (May 1, 1965 - April 30, 1968), Air Medal; Special Ops G-9 (Hq Military Airlift Command), Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and Crew Resource Management (CRM). AFM 900-3.

Children and young people under the age of 16 may only enter the arena if accompanied by a parent or an adult having the parental authorisation. A parental consent form has to be filled out and brought to the show. Download the Parental Consent Form here. The parental consent form can be downloaded from the website of the Rockhal www.rockhal.lu. Children under 16 years and the adult having the parental authorisation, both should be in possession of a valid entry ticket. Carers or persons with parental authorisation are responsible for keeping a watch on them. Non-accompanied children under the age of 16 are not allowed inside the venue. Children under the age of 6 are fundamentally only allowed to attend events in the company of an authorised adult. For parties the minimum age is 16. We recommend an adapted ear protection for all our younger visitors. Failure to comply with these rules constitutes a refusal to accept the General Sales Conditions (CGV) not allowing the entry into the venue. Therefore, this will not generate a ticket refund.
Posting up over 3.5 billion streams and claiming multiple platinum certifications, Lil Tecca has quietly cemented himself as one of rap's most vital rising superstars. In 2020, his full-length debut album, Virgo World, bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and yielded two Hot 100 entries— namely "Dolly" with Lil Uzi Vert and "When You Down" feat. Lil Durk with Polo G. Thus far, the record has clocked over 300 million streams and counting. HotNewHipHop praised it as "a great starting point for the 18-year-old." Tecca first exploded with his platinum-certified mixtape, We Love You Tecca, and his breakout 6x platinum single "Ransom" in 2019. He reeled in acclaim from New York Times, Billboard, HYPEBEAST, Complex, and many others in addition to selling out shows on his first headline run, the We Love You Tecca World Tour. He launches into his next chapter with the 2021 single "Never Left."

Q: How can I customize the appearance of the actions in my QToolBar? I have just changed some toolbars from Q3ToolBars (with QToolButtons explicitly added to them) into Q4 toolbars (with actions added to them straight away instead.)
The old tool buttons had a nice outline around them, but this is not displayed in the new version; the QActions in the Q4 toolbar just look like a line of icons. Is there a way to change the 'button' style in the new version (assuming these actions can be considered as such) and give them the outline? I've looked through the QToolBar reference, but the toolButtonStyle() function only appears to work with whether you want to display icon, text, etc.
...Or will I have to just make actual tool buttons and/or QPushButtons and use addWidget()?

A: The widget associated with a given action is accessible through QToolBar::widgetForAction (since Qt 4.2). So, you can pass your actions to this method, get the QWidgets returned by it, convert them to QToolBar, and handle them like you normally would (code not tested):
// ...

auto toolButton =
    static_cast<QToolButton *>(
        m_ui.toolbar->widgetForAction(m_ui.my_Action));

// Will make the toolButton always appear raised:
toolButton->setAutoRaise(false);

// ...

As far as I've been testing, some methods might not work (i.e., QWidget::hide), so do your own testing.

A: Yes, of course you can edit look of QToolButtons in two different ways:

*

*You can set it style sheet using void QWidget::setStyleSheet(const QString &)

*You can reimplement QToolButtons class with new paintEvent function where you will be able to exactly set how your button should looks like.

Sanchez Guarantees Madrid's Cooperation on Water Issues to Bolivia's Morales
SANTA CRUZ, Bolivia – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez guaranteed on Wednesday to Bolivian President Evo Morales Madrid's continued cooperation to help provide potable water and sanitation to many parts of the South American country because – he said – he agreed with his host that "water is life."
Sanchez and Morales, who held their first meeting on Tuesday in Santa Cruz, on Wednesday shared a working breakfast and later headed to the Ibero-American training center at the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).
There, they presided at the presentation of the Water and Sanitation Fund program, one of Spain's main contributions in its cooperation with Bolivia to fight poverty and facilitate development in the landlocked nation.
The effort has required almost 95 million euros ($111 million) and has provided access to water and sanitation to more than 426,000 people in rural and isolated parts of Bolivia.
Sanchez, in his speech at the AECID, emphasized the importance for Spain's maintaining its cooperation to have a signed agreement with Morales to identify the priority areas for action through 2021.
The Spanish premier acknowledged the "courage" of the Bolivian leader in recognizing in his country's 2009 Constitution access to water as a fundamental right and reiterated that he will continue to work with Bolivia along those lines.
"Be assured that the Spanish government will continue working with the Bolivian (government) and with the rest of the international community to lay solid foundations of sustainable and lasting modernization and development."
In addition, he cited several projects that have been undertaken by the water fund as proof of the efficacy of this cooperation.
Morales thanked Sanchez for Spain's help in general and in this area in particular and emphasized the way in which the lives of many people who now have access to potable water have changed.
"Water is life, and water plus land means secure food," the Bolivian leader emphasized, also mentioning former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero for having been the one who launched Madrid's cooperation to facilitate access to water in his country.
In addition, he emphasized that Spain and Bolivia's cooperation had at all times been "unconditional," in contrast to the attitude of other countries that he said had called for some kind of privatization in exchange for their aid.
The inauguration of the Water and Sanitation Fund program was one of the final things on Sanchez's agenda on his visit to Bolivia, where he met privately with Morales and attended an official dinner.
The Spanish premier will depart Bolivia on Wednesday afternoon for Bogota, continuing his Latin American tour which will conclude on Friday in San Jose, Costa Rica.


Learn more about AVOD and OTT at Streaming Media's next event.
Tim Siglin: Welcome back to Streaming Media West 2018, I'm Tim Siglin, contributing editor with Streaming Media Magazine and the founding executive director of the not-for-profit Help Me! Stream. I'm here with Michael Dale from Ellation. Michael, first of all, tell us what your title and role is with the company, and then where did the name come from.
Tim Siglin: Right, exactly. As you say, Crunchyroll's been around for about 10 years. What's new now with Ellation to change the focus? Or is the focus the same?
Michael Dale: With Ellation and the AT&T Warner Media acquisition of Otter Media, which is the parent group that owns Ellation, I think we've really seen Crunchyroll scaling up quite a bit. Likewise, the VRV product, the multichannel offering, is also starting to have significant impact on our overall subscriber count. We recently crossed 2 million paid subscribers, putting us well within the top 10, or at least what used to be the top 10. In any case, as a pure OTT play, we're certainly in the top 10 of online subscribers.
Tim Siglin: For you, being in that top 10 grouping, especially with your engineering focus, what are the challenges that you face? Because clearly when you get into that level of the stratosphere or exosphere in terms of the number of subscribers you're delivering to, everything has to work perfectly.
Michael Dale: We're dealing with more than a billion minutes per month streamed. Not only the 2 million subscribers, but also the 10-15 million monthly actives that are on the AVOD side of the business.
It is a fairly massive scale project. We've transitioned a lot of the engineering concerns, the sort of traditional concerns around taking the data center-based monolith and transitioning it to AWS and microservices and those sort of things that we've seen a few talks about here at the show today.
That's certainly been a challenge relative to the just sort of changing the engine as the planes in flight as they say. With the fact that we had to continue to serve our users through this whole duration.
Tim Siglin: When you're talking microservices, I know there's also sort of a debate in the industry too if you're taking the monolith and just shoving it in a kubernetes container, that's not a microservice. How do you define microservices? I think that's a hot topic these days.
Michael Dale: Microservices are more than just the logical code service grouping; it's also about autonomy of the team, so that they can deliver value without being blocked on the rest of the organization. In the context of the lift-and-ship approach that we took with the monolith, just to get it out of the data center.
We don't call that side of our text stack microservice space. We have been building out microservices from the ground up, relative to the nerve product launch, and now we're sort of in a process of consolidating against a multi-tenant-based microservice architecture.
Tim Siglin: In terms, of as you talk about not being sort of slowed down by the other groups, does that help you roll out enhancements and futures faster than any particular?
Michael Dale: You can see things in the old model. In the monolith, there was not ideal an architecture that was in play. I'll give you an example. Basically, it was hitting a database to look up the segment names for the HLS stream. That was pretty much a recipe for disaster as the database would underload as more people were just trying to watch video. Simple things like that, where that's all now decoupled. When a lot of people watch video, you don't take down your login service, so on and so forth.
Michael Dale: Right. I'm sure you've chatted with other companies that scale up, and they're dealing with Game of Thrones, or some massive cultural event. The video usually works, cause the CDN's are off loading that. Then something will be the playhead position service will take down your off service if you don't have it segmented. An ability to scale it appropriately relative to the surge in demand.
Tim Siglin: It is. A matter of fact, I've written articles in the past about for live events, say a big boxing match, it's never the video deliver, it's always the authentication on the front end. If that fails, the customer can't watch the video, and the same net effect is they want their money back for that.
Michael Dale: Same thing for the customer. Right.
Tim Siglin: Awesome. Michael, thank you for your time. Really appreciate it.


Teddy Bridgewater seems to be making fantastic progress in his recovery from a significant knee injury, but the Minnesota Vikings can afford to be patient.
Since Teddy Bridgewater went down with a substantial left knee injury late last preseason, mum has mostly been the word from the Minnesota Vikings about his status. The injury forced a trade for Sam Bradford, who played solidly behind a porous offensive line on his way to setting an NFL single season record for completion percentage (71.6 percent).
In late March, Bridgewater posted a video of himself throwing in a city park or something. More recently, the team posted a video of him dropping back and throwing on the first day of OTAs on Tuesday.
Bridgewater was not on the field Wednesday when the media got to look in on practice, since he was at a rehab appointment with a doctor. He is not yet cleared for practice, and it's not clear when he will be, but the doctor visit brought good news.
Bridgewater has been cleared for the next step in the rehab process, including side-to-side movement. That sounds like a fairly small thing, but with Bridgewater suffering a torn ACL, MCL and a possible dislocation in his leg, to the point Vikings' head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman was credited for his fast action at the time of the injury, being able to move sideways is a major positive step.
It's easy to assert that Bridgewater is progressing toward a training camp competition with Bradford for the starting job. But Vikings' general manager Rick Spielman was clear on Wednesday that nothing is certain, including Bridgewater even playing again.
"This entire organization (is) just hoping that eventually he'll be able to come back on the field, but that's still the unknown," general manager Rick Spielman said Wednesday.
It's easy to dismiss Bradford's performance last season. A measure of self-preservation led to short passes and a high completion percentage, but not a lot of wins after a 5-0 start. But a full offseason working with offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, who he is familiar with from their time together with the Rams and Eagles, sets up a good situation for this year.
Part of the appeal of trading for Bradford, at the time, was that he had two years left on his contract. That covered the Vikings in case Bridgewater's status was at all in doubt heading into the 2017 season. It clearly is, and will be until further notice, so barring an injury of his own Bradford should be under center all season. Bridgewater needs to be brought along slowly, OTA hype videos aside, and the Vikings have the ability to be patient.

Q: Does PowerShell compile scripts? Suppose I have a simple PowerShell script:
1..3 | Write-Host

*

*How does PowerShell process it?

*Does it build in-memory assembly or some temporary .dll file?

*Can I examine this assembly and MSIL using some tools (e.g. ILSpy, VS, WinDbg)?

*Does PowerShell treat processing of file scripts and REPL command line input the same way (i.e. both compiled / interpreted)?

*Can I use this compiled assembly together with C# and other .Net languages?

*Can the PS script be compiled to a native binary code?

A: PowerShell V2 and earlier never compiled a script, it was always interpreted via virtual "eval" methods in the parse tree.
PowerShell V3 and later compile the parse tree (the AST) to a LINQ expression tree, which is then compiled to a bytecode, which is then interpreted.
If the script is executed 16 times, the script is JIT-compiled in the background, and as soon as the JIT compilation completes, the interpreted code will not be used.  The same applies to loops: if a loop iterates 16 times, the loop body will be JIT-compiled and the loop body will switch from interpreted to JIT-compiled at the earliest possible time.
Many operations like accessing a member or invoking a C# method are always JIT-compiled in small dynamic methods. These dynamic sites are optimized for the dynamic nature of PowerShell, adapting to differing kinds of input on demand.
The JIT-compiled code is hosted in the "anonymous methods" assembly and cannot be saved. With WinDbg, you could disassemble the IL of the generated code.
Saving the compiled IL code as a DLL is not quite possible, because the generated code depends on live objects.  It is technically possible for PowerShell to generate code that could be saved as a DLL, but that is not implemented.
Scripts and the REPL (interactive command prompt) work exactly the same.
Note that if PowerShell did actually generate an assembly, it would still require the version of PowerShell that compiled the script to be installed, you could not produce a fully portable exe.
It would be somewhat difficult and awkward to call PowerShell scripts from other languages because several factors - primarily pipelining and parameter binding
 - differ somewhat from normal method dispatch.
You can use objects returned from PowerShell scripts in C#.  Starting in V3, if you use the dynamic keyword in C#, you can access properties, call script methods, etc. on a PSObject instance, just like you would on any other object.  Before V3, you had to use an API like psobj.Properties['SomeProperty'].

Routing rules, which are also known as derivation rules, control workflow between tasks in a process. In other words, they determine which is the first task in a process and how work moves to the subsequent tasks, and so on until the process ends. Routing rules can move the workflow along a single path or divide the workflow into multiple threads. They can also evaluate conditions to determine which are the subsequent task(s) and even send the workflow down subprocesses, which are separate workflows with their own set of cases.
Sequential: When one task is completed, a sequential routing rule will move the workflow directly to subsequent task(s).
Selection: A selection routing rule allows the user assigned to the task to manually select the subsequent task(s) to be performed in the process.
Evaluation: An evaluation routing rule uses a condition (which is a true or false expression in PHP) to decide whether the workflow moves to subsequent task(s).
Parallel (Fork): A parallel (fork) routing rule divides the workflow into two or more parallel tasks.
Parallel By Evaluation (Fork): A parallel by evaluation routing rule uses a condition to decide whether to divide the workflow into two more parallel tasks.
Parallel (Join): A parallel (join) routing unites multiple parallel tasks in the workflow that had previously been divided by a parallel (fork) routing. All the parallel tasks must be completed before a parallel routing can take place.
Note: To ensure that the workflow continues all of the sub-threads need a parallel join. to connect them to the next task.
Only when all the true evaluated task(s) have been finished the subsequent task will start. If it is necessary, use a dummy task to enclose the remaining path.
End of Process: End of process marks where to terminate the workflow.
Starting Task: Starting task marks where to begin a process.
Routing rules are applied to specific tasks (and ProcessMaker even treats them as task objects). To apply a routing rule to a task, click on an icon in the Routing Rules Toolbar and drag the icon to the task while still holding down on the mouse button. Release the mouse button over a task to attach the routing rule to that task.
Then drag the routing rule, which is shown as a red connector dot, to the subsequent task while still holding down on the mouse button, then release over the subsequent task to connect the two tasks.
If the work can flow down multiple threads (paths) in the process, drag and drop additional routing rules from the toolbar to connect them as well.
To change a routing rule to a different type, simple drag a routing rule from the toolbar and drop it on the task with an existing routing rule. When asked "Are you sure you want to change the derivation rule?", click Accept to change the type of routing rule.
Once a routing rule connects tasks, it can be edited by either clicking on the routing rule symbol in the Process Map or by right clicking on a task and selecting the option Derivation Rules from the menu.
Every process must have at least one Starting Task routing rule which indicates which task should start the process. Either drag and drop the icon from the toolbar to a task or right click on the task and select the option Properties from the dropdown menu. Under the Definition tab, mark the checkbox Starting Task.
Processes can have multiple starting tasks and even multiple work paths. For instance, an organization with a Sales department might want to start its "Invoice Process" at two different points: either by first contacting the client or by first sending a quote. In addition, it might want to start the "Invoice Process" with a different work path in the Finance department. If Sales is handling the invoice, then different tasks are executed than if Finance is handling it.
If a process has multiple starting tasks, then the person who starts the case may select which task starts the process. In the dropdown box, the name of the process is provided followed by the name of the starting task in parenthesis.
All processes must have at least one task with an End of Process routing rule to terminate the process. There can be multiple ending points to any process. To add an End of Processrouting rule to a task, drag and drop the icon from the toolbar to a task or right click on a task which has an evaluation or selection routing rule and select the option Derivation Rules. Click the New link to add a routing rule, then in the dropdown box, select the option "End of process".
With a sequential routing rule, workflow automatically flows to subsequent tasks, so no special configuration is required, after connecting the tasks.
A selection routing rule allows the user assigned to the task to manually select which task will be the next in the workflow. After completing a task, the user will be presented with the available subsequent tasks and asked to choose one.
For instance, if creating a process to handle billing in dollars and Euros, a selection routing rule could be used to decide whether to generate a bill in dollars or in Euros.
After adding the selection routing rule, double click on the routing rule to add "Descriptions" to the selection routing rule explaining why to choose the "Billing Dollars" and "Billing Euros" tasks.
An evaluation routing rule uses a condition to decide whether the workflow moves to subsequent task(s). If the condition, which is a PHP expression, evaluates to true, then the workflow will move to the subsequent task. For more information on how to create conditions which will evaluate to true or false, see Using Conditions.
An evaluation routing rule is commonly used to decide between multiple tasks. If all the conditions are false then a case will never complete. If all the conditions are true, then the workflow will move to all the subsequent tasks, which may not be what is desired. Therefore, it is very important to test conditions and make sure that they don't yield unexpected outcomes.
The previous example of a billing processes could also be implemented with an evaluation routing rule instead of a selection routing rule.
If a DynaForm is filled out in the "Initiate Billing" task, the user can select whether the bill will be in dollars or Euros.
The choice of dollars or is be stored in the variable @@Currency which could be used in the conditions for the routing rule. Click on the evaluate routing rule in the Process Map and add the conditions.
If you get the following error message when running a case with an evaluation routing rule, check to see that you have defined a condition.
If a condition exists, then the problem is probably due to the fact that the condition contains an undefined variable. Verify that the variable exists, by clicking on the [ @@ ] button find the variable in the list of available variables. Remember that variable names in PHP are case sensitive.
If the variable was defined in a DynaForm, then the problem is that the values which are being entered into the DynaForm aren't being saved to variables. To allow your users to save their entered data in the Dynaform, add a Submit button to the DynaForm. To remind users to click the Submit button, go to the Properties tab of the DynaForm Designer and select the option "Show Prompt" for Next Step Link. If you want the data to be automatically saved to variables without the hassle of clicking the Submit button, select the option "Save and Continue".
Note: Sometimes, there is a problem when a condition on Evaluation Route is saved, for example take the condition below: @@Currency=="Euros"
That will solved switching off quotes-gpc magic_quotes_gp on php.ini configuration.
This example explains how to route a case to the user who first started it using an evaluation routing rule. In the example, the first task has assigned the "Manager" and "Senior Manager" groups with 3 and 5 users each. The user who starts the case requests some kind of desktop help. This request arrives to the "IT" group in the second task. The user who receives the request must provide feedback about the request the final task that brings a report of the request.
The task "Request Desktop Help" has assigned the groups "Manager" (3 users) and "Senior Manager" (5 users). The task also has the trigger "SaveUser" assigned before the assignment of the task. Finally, the assignment rule of this task is "Value Based Assignment" with the value "@@FirstUser".
After filling a request form, the route derives the request to a user of the IT group assigned in the task "Provide Feedback". In this task, the IT user gives a feedback of the problem and could return it to the first user or, if the problem is fixed, generate a report. In the Dynaform of the feedback, the user selects from the dropdown "action" whether to return the feedback to the first user (Yes) or not (No).
A parallel (fork) routing rule divides the workflow in multiple threads (branches) which operate concurrently. Once the task has been completed the workflow will take different sub-threads starting at the same time. As an example, in the credit card application, where two parallel tasks will take place, because the facility officer sends a request for employment and credit checks.
Once the parallel (fork) rules have been added, by double clicking on the routing rule you can see the following illustration. There it is possible to define more parallel tasks.
In order to ensure the workflow continues only when every parallel task is finished, they need a parallel Join . For this reason, drag and drop the route of the first parallel task defined and connect it to the next task. Repeat this step for every task that used the parallel (fork) routing rule. The description in the parallel (fork) will show what we have in the next illustration, so we know the task has been derived two times (this will depend on the number of parallel assignation we made).
Usually threads in a parallel routing rule are independent form each other, but what happen if a thread needs to be paused?.
Let's take the above example, if Credit Check task is paused, user assign to the other task, Employment Verification will be able to continue the case since threads are independent; however, the case could not be completed until the task will be unpaused, always following the definition of a Parallel routing rule.
A parallel by evaluation (fork) routing rule divides the workflow in multiple paths, evaluating the condition for each of the paths to determine which ones will be executed. A path will only be executed if its condition evaluates to true. If false, it won't be executed, so make sure that at least one of the conditions evaluates to true to avoid errors. For more information on how to create conditions which will evaluate to true or false, see Using Conditions.
All of the sub-paths between the parallel fork and the parallel join must finish executing, before the workflow can move on to the next task after the parallel join.
For instance, if creating a process to handle reporting expenses, where the employee will fill out a form and send it. We will use a parallel by (fork) to evaluate the report expense.
After adding the parallel by evaluation (fork), double click on the routing rule to add "Descriptions", explaining when the task "Local Manager Approval", "Regional Manager Approval" and/or "CEO Approval" will be started. When this conditions are being evaluated there can be more than one evaluated true, if that happen then one or more task will be started.
These descriptions will show the user the path the task will be taking, when the case is running.
The next example uses a parallel by evaluation routing rule to derive the path to the next task. Nevertheless, the values evaluated in the routing rule are obtained from a checkbox group in the Dynaform of the first task. The details of how to do it are explained in the example.
The trigger recovers the value of the checkbox group and uses the PHP function explode() in the variable $rArray and sets it in the variable @@checkGroup.
Assign the trigger to the first task after the Dynaform is routed.
The routing rule evaluates the array sent in the trigger in the variable @@checkGroup. For this, it uses the PHP function in_array() to check the value returned for the checkbox group.
The route will go to task "Local Manager Approval" if the first option of the checkbox group was selected. Remember that the value set for the first option was "1". Likewise, the route will go to "Regional Manager Approval" if the second option was chosen and to "CEO Approval" if the third option was chosen.


Maybe it is possible to set those greek words in order according to the gravity of a sin (mistake) they imply?
I find using the big Liddell and Scott useful when parsing synonyms. Unfortunately, unless you have access to a library, buying one new is several hundred dollars. Fortunately, you can also use the Perseus Project search tools (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/search).
As you suspected, they all have the basic idea of a "mistake" or a "sin," but with different shades of meaning. παράπτωμα for instance also means "error in amount of payments," perhaps suggesting some more venial mistake rather than a deadly one. Without researching the actual use of these terms in specific contexts, this is the best I can give you. Perhaps a priest could chime in?

In the slavonic translation of the prayer cited above it is a fall i. e. quite a serious sin as one can guess. Isn't it a derivate from the verb πίπτω?

Paul (Rom 5:17) uses παράπτωμα to refer to the sin of Adam which brought death to the whole world. A more deadly sin was never committed before or since.

Have you thought of buying second-hand? More paper copies than ever come up for sale these days. I've seen several ninth editions go for under £50 on a certain online auction site this last year. What's more the newer printings are generally of inferior quality to the older ones, so from the point of view of legibility you'd be better off with an older copy anyway.
re Victor's comments on used unabridged Liddell and Scott, I just got one used from a dealer through Amazon. It was $120 US total for the two volumes. They're old, but still in great shape, and there seems to be quite a few out there for purchase. Can't beat the unabridged if one wants to make the deep plunge!
Less point in buying LSJ now that it's online for free (see mstrebe's post) unless you want to make annotations in it.
To figure out the differences in underlying meaning it's always useful to look at the corresponding verbs (paraptwma < parapiptw, yes). But of course word meanings are not entirely stable.
I reckon it would be a mistake (if not a sin) to make any sharp differentiation between them in a context like this. Just as you have a trio of alliterative epithets for doulw, so you have second alliterative trio here. The verbs themselves constitute a trio too, the anes & afes pair followed by a magnified third member (sugxwhrson). It's all just a padded-out version of "Forgive me my sins" (cf. Lord's Prayer). There are very similar things in prayers/curses in magic. Prayers like to cover all the bases, and it sounds good. Stylistics trumps semantics.
Interesting, this certainly shows the limited utility of relying solely on the dictionary.

One of the advantages of the paper version over the digital (it's a small one, I admit) is that you can see the whole spread of entries on the double-page you happen to be open at to view the entry you've searched for. This can sometimes be vitally instructive in a way that seeing an entry in isolation is not. Of course there may be a way of simultaneously viewing a whole double-page spread of entries on Perseus, but if there is I haven't figured out how to do it yet. The same applies to Smyth's Greek Grammar and various other books I regularly consult on Perseus.
I must admit I use my hardcopy of LSJ etc in preference to Perseus.
But I'm sorry this has taken us off topic. It was quite an interesting question, I thought, in context (see my previous post).


Got a new GPSr Legend Cx, which is good fun.
It comes with a built in 'basemap' which is about 200m adrift of the real world. phones Garmin and they confirmed that it's meant to be like that and agreed with me that it's actually useless.

Twitter search is a very powerful tool that lets you discover topics and people, and allows you to find out what users say about you, about your company or about anything you want really. And yet, Twitter search is a very underused tool. Only a few users actually know that you can search on Twitter and even fewer have accessed the advanced search features.
#Twitter search is a very powerful tool! Check out everything you can do with it!
Alltwitter thought it was time to make things right and teach us how to make Twitter search work harder for us. Below is a list of 10 tips to make a better use of the search tool and gain results you may not have even thought you could get from Twitter.
If you input more than one word in Twitter search, it will bring results for either of these. In order to make Twitter search for the words as a phrase (i.e. all words together), simply add quotes to your search.
If you wish to search for tweets that contain specific keywords, use AND or use OR to bring up tweets that contain both or one of the two words.
If you want to search for tweets including a keyword, but exclude all those that include another specific keyword, just add minus to your search.
Twitter also allows you to search for tweets from specific users. For this, use from:username and Twitter will bring up all the tweets from the "username" account.
In a similar way, Twitter lets you search for all the tweets that mention a specific user. Use to:username to bring up all tweets mentioning that "username".
Yes, Twitter even lets you search for tweets that were sent from a specific location. Add near:location to your search to find all tweets that were sent from around that location.
If a location is not specific enough for your search, Twitter even lets you specify a maximum distance to identify tweets sent from a specific place. To do this, add within:distance to your location search.
You can also filter your search on Twitter. To find tweets that include links, simply add filter:links to your search.
To search for tweets that come from a specific source, add source:keyword and Twitter will bring you all the tweets coming from that source.
To access Twitter advanced search, head over to twitter.com/search.


Willard Katsande scored the only goal of the game as Kaizer Chiefs returned to winning ways in the Absa Premiership with a 1-0 victory over Black Leopards at the FNB Stadium in Soweto on Wednesday evening.
The win moves Amakhosi up to fourth place on the log standings while Lidoda Duvha remain in 12th and a mere two points above the relegation zone.
Both goalkeepers were called into early action with Itumeleng Khune up to the task to deny Mwape Musonda in the seventh minute, after the forward had broke the offside trap.
King Ndlovu then showcased his credentials with a good save to keep out Dumisani Zuma who was quickest to pounce on a loose ball inside the area. The Leopards shot-stopper, though, was off his line in a flash to keep out the Amakhosi attacker.
Khama Billiat then curled a shot inches wide before fellow Zimbabwe international Katsande opened the scoring in the 41st minute.
The midfielder was well positioned to latch onto Ramahlwe Mphahlele's flick on from a corner-kick to give Chiefs a narrow lead at the interval.
Both teams had their chances in the second-half with Khune especially impressive to deny Eden Nene the leveller in the 75th minute. The Bafana Bafana goal minder stood tall to keep out the Leopards' midfielder from point-blank range following a scramble in the penalty area.
Lidoda Duvha pushed forward in the final minutes of regulation time and had a late chance to level matters from a Marks Munyai free-kick, but again Khune was up to the task as Chiefs duly sealed all three points.
Kaizer Chiefs: Khune; Walusimbi, Hadebe, Booysen, Mphahlele, Katsande, Zulu (Cardoso 90+1'), Andrianarimanana (Maluleka 80'), Zuma (Jayiya 64'), Billiat, Castro.
Black Leopards: K.Ndlovu; Munyai, Katjiukua, Munganga, Zulu, Khutlang (Tshepe 47'), Nene, Nange (T.Ndlovu 83'), Hlongwane (Mhlongo 67'), Musonda, Kapinga.


Since then, I've continued to practice wheel and other backbends, anxiously awaiting the moment I truly feel a deeper accomplishment. My ego often knocks on the door as I try to push myself harder. I had a quick and personally embarrassing lesson after my low back scolded me for a few days. I know my body well enough now to feel what's just far enough and safe enough.
Backbends are extrodinary. It's an abnormal extension of the spine that is generally not a part of our daily routine. They work best when practiced in moderation and with patience. Any time the spine is extended in a backbend, it's important to support the lower back by using the core and abdominal muscles. Never push your body past its current strength ability, and always a maintain an upward "lifting" component when bending backwards. I have learned this through my teachers, readings and personal experience.
Even though I know what I should be doing, I still tend to focus too much on my desire for that deep curvature of the back. But that is not the secret to achieving backbends. That should not be the focus.
The key to achieving something is often not what's right infront of us, but rather what lies ahead waiting to be discovered.
Shift your focus, not to the curve or flexibility of the back, but to the expansion and broadening of the front-body, chest and shoulders. In wheel pose, it is more about awakening the muscles across the entire front-body and being able to open the hips and shoulders. Practice this slowly. Many of us have chronic poor posture, usually with a slouched-in chest for several hours a day. Unfortunately, I'm a desk-troll, so my front-body rarely gets attention. Naturally, the muscles in this area will be shortened and weakened and hence should become the main focus of backbends.
Bring energy to the "other side" for a while. Lessen your attention to how deep you can curve the spine. Focus on opening and lengthening the space in front of you. Over time, as you create more room within the front of your body, the backbend will follow. Before you know it, you will experience what I like to call "yoga surprises"...those in-class (or at-home) moments when your progress and hard work sneaks up on you and kisses you right on the mouth! It's that "Boom!" feeling, that "I did it" holler!
I find backbends to be so enlightening and a huge mood-changer. They make me feel all glittery and happy inside!
I hope this inspires your wheel or backbend practice!
What do you focus on when practicing backbends? What helps you stay motivated and patient?


WHEREIN WE ENCOUNTER IT'S JOURNEY THROUGH ADVENTUROUS EVENTS OF CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
A series of four sequential plays written by Alyson Pou to coincide with the themes of Central Booking Gallery's 2010 exhibitions on the topics of Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
PART 1: "GALILEO'S FINGER and the Mysterious Lenticular Glass"
Marietta, a devoted collector of lenses and the inventions that house them, discovers a pouch that holds important clues about a mysterious master lens maker of the early 17th century. The story begins in Florence as she visits the Museo di Storia della Scienza in search of clues. Then takes us back, through the eyes of a young apprentice and guild spy Alessandra Mazollini, to Padua and the events of August 1609 when Galileo Galilei races against time to be the first to make the most powerful spyglass in all of Europe.
It is 1899 and Marietta's search for the mysterious 17th century lens-maker takes her from Florence to Venice where she must gain access to the archives of a powerful family. Her quest takes a surprising turn that leaves her questioning her own identity. While Alessandra Mazzolini the young apprentice and guild spy in Renaissance Padua is pulled ever deeper into Galileo's world of Natural Philosophers, their wealthy patrons, and the dangerous dance between church and state.
A Love Story! A Murder Mystery! The Largest Telescope ever built!
It is 1900, a new century, and preparations for the opening of L' Exposition Universelle are underway in Paris. Marietta Boyle, still on her quest to prove that Alessandra Mazzolini was Galileo's apprentice and maker of the mysterious lenticular glass, enters this heady alchemy of science and technology in search of answers only to discover there are other mysteries to be solved.
The short film below was created using archival footage and photographs of L'Exposition Universelle Paris, 1900. It was shown as the prelude to the reading of "Marietta and Le Palais de l' Optique".
Video excerpts from readings of part I thru IV of "The Case of the Mysterious Lenticular Glass"
In our final episode, the long lost pouch and mysterious lenticular glass show up in the collection of a 21st century eccentric recluse who believes he is going blind. It is up to the inventors of the first implantable telescope to give him the super human vision he desires, and finally prove that Alessandra Mazzolini was Galileo's apprentice and maker of the mysterious lenticular glass.
L'Exposition Universelle Paris, 1900- This video collage of original photos, engraving and film footage of sites and people referred to in Part III, played pre and post performance.

Q: Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) for push notifications on iOS? Amazon Web Services have an SDK for iOS which supports the Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS).
Does this mean it would be possible to use SNS to send push notifications to a running iOS app? So for example you could make an real-time instant messaging app.

Is this right, or have I misunderstood what SNS does? It just seems to me that you would need to open a connection/socket in order to recieve push notifications from your server. How does the SDK actually work?

Update:
I've since asked this question on the AWS Mobile Development Forum: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=81089&tstart=0
Apparently there is an article coming out (probably here: http://aws.amazon.com/articles/SDKs/iOS) shortly to explain everything.
Update 2
The article: http://aws.amazon.com/articles/9156883257507082

A: According to Apple documentation "Local notifications and push notifications are ways for an application that isn't running in the foreground to let its users know it has information for them.".
So, technically speaking, any data, including notifications, received when the application is running in the foreground are not "Push Notifications" and can't be a reason for rejecting the application. They're simply data being consumed that way or the other by the application.
In this specific case you are not asking about Push Notifications per Apple's documentation, rather about a technology used to deliver data to the application when the application is running and user is interacting with it. It happens that the name Amazon SNS is similar to Push Notification.
In any case Apple wouldn't be able to see what is the technology behind delivering data to your application, whether it is Amazon SNS or anything else. All they can see is that the application may have some additional ports open when it's running, and that of course would be absolutely legal. In fact, many applications communicate with their back-end servers using sockets (not HTTP requests), and that is the same technology as used by Apple to deliver their Push Notifications.

A: According to the Amazon documentation, they in turn uses the APNS method and provide a much simpler frontend for Apple, Android and Kindle. A realtime instant messaging app could be considered as workable since by using the Amazon SNS platform, you could even consider the application to be available for all.
I mean by utilizing the Amazon SNS, the communication could be done between iOS and Android devices and to kindle also provided the applications are written accordingly. Though the Amazon documents do not provide a comprehensive example, there are bits and pieces. Also there is an upcoming event on the Aug 29 which could be seen from the Amazon SNS page.

A lot of the law of attraction books and teachings I've read tell us that "there is no limit" on what we can attract, and to "think big." So, I guess it should come as no surprise that a common question I've seen posted on a particular forum I like to visit is, "Can I attract my favorite celebrity?"
I will admit the question popped into my own head at some point -- I have my celebrity crushes, too. But the answer to this question is a little complicated. Technically, you could attract a celebrity, but that person has to be a matching vibration to what you're putting out there into the universe. And you may not necessarily attract a romantic relationship with them, but you may end up attracting them following you back on social media.
You really cannot focus on a specific person and attract them into your life unless the both of you have matching vibrations. This is true whether they're famous or not.
But what you can do is admire the person for the qualities you believe they possess, and vibrate how good they feel to you to the universe. And if you can detach yourself from the actual celebrity being the manifestation, you'll most likely attract a person into your life that shares the same qualities they have.
At the risk of embarrassing myself, right now I have a "new" celebrity crush (I put new in quotes because this person is dead.) Most people that know me know I love Christoph Waltz -- and he's definitely still special to me for my own reasons -- but I also love some retro guys, since my other blog is all about the retro.
My celebrity crush is an actor named Martin Milner. He's most famous for two big television roles in the 1960s and early '70s -- first in Route 66 as half of a duo that traveled across the U.S. in one long road trip, often helping people. The second was playing the kind hearted Officer Pete Malloy in the police drama Adam-12.
Milner passed away last year at the age of 83, but back in his heyday he projected a clean cut, wholesome, all-American guy image in most of the characters he portrayed. But off-screen, the pleasant surprise is that he was the same way in real life. He was married to the same spouse up until his death and had four children with her. There's never been a single scandal linked to his name, which is really unusual for Hollywood and even more so considering he began his career as a child actor. No drugs, drinking, or any other addictions. Also, the stories from costars and fans alike is that he was a great guy -- one of the few good guys in his industry. He always considered himself a working actor; not a movie star. He eventually retired from acting and focused on his family and fishing. Basically, I view him as the guy that any woman would be happy to introduce to her parents.
And yes, he was tall, blonde, and handsome:
(I know he looks very serious in these photos, but there's plenty more of him online smiling.)
By now you're probably scoffing at me and thinking, "But Pam, don't tell me you think you're going to attract someone like him! Yeah, right! Single, available guys like that are like finding a needle in a haystack -- good luck with that!"
But here's the thing...I believe, at least, the possibility is there. There could be a man out there somewhere that has all of his qualities I'm admiring that's eligible when I meet him and has chemistry and mutual attraction with me. Does he have to look exactly like Martin Milner for me to be happy? No. But I do like the overall appearance -- short hair, clean shaven, and devoid of tattoos. I still say that physical characteristics are part of being specific when manifesting a soulmate. I love his qualities and that his image was sincere. I love that he was best friends with his wife (but obviously, I would have to meet someone with his qualities who's available/eligible so he can make ME his best friend.)
In fact, there's an Abraham Hicks video posted to YouTube that talks about this. If you can look at a person and pick out the qualities you most admire and focus on how that feels, the universe is going to start showing you people that have these qualities.
Also, if I hadn't learned all of this LOA stuff a few years ago, I'd be inclined to agree with the naysayers and say they're right. But ever since I started watching Milner's work and fantasizing about him a bit, a funny thing has been happening. I've been starting to see (naturally) blonde, handsome guys more and more now. In fact, there was a waiter at the restaurant in Newburyport that my Meetup group and I ate at today that was tall, blonde, handsome, and had no tattoos. He wasn't our server (sadly!) and he was significantly younger than me, but I couldn't take my eyes off of him. There was also a young man in a Facebook connection's photo that reminded me a lot of Milner. Again, young -- and he was obviously spoken for -- but the law of attraction is a funny thing once you start focusing on something and then forget about it and live in the moment.
Could this be a sign that there's a guy out there that reminds me of MM? Well, it's fun to fantasize no matter the outcome, so why not milk it and see what manifests? To be continued...

Back in the 90's during my teenage days of angst, I was obsessed with Marilyn Manson, lol. This was long before I knew anything about the Law of Attraction. I had just moved to New York City and I didn't know how or when, but I was determined to meet him and so I focused intently on this for around 2 months. I started to dream of him every night, and I spent my summer days day dreaming of the day that we met and how it would be. Low and behold, the day before I met him, I told my friend we were going to the East Village to go "Spooky kid" hunting and that I knew that tomorrow would be the day.
We went to the Village and walked down Astor place and into a few shops. We walked into the store where I imagined he would be, Trash and Vaudeville, and he was not there. I hung my head low, so sure that he was going to be there. I told my friend "let's go" and she said, "just a few more minutes, I am looking at the capes."
Just then, out of the corner of my eye I noticed a tall, slender man with boots on and black vinyl pants. I looked up higher and saw that indeed, it was Marilyn Manson, sans makeup. I grabbed my friend, squeezed her arms as hard as I could and then I went over to him and introduced myself and gave him a gigantic hug. I got his autograph, thanked him for being my inspiration and then proceeded to go outside, jump up and down and squeal like a little baby. To me, it was a true testament that I was onto something, some kind of "magic" that I had thought was impossible. I only did this because I had no other means to meet him besides sheer will.
While my love for Marilyn Manson waned over the following years, that experience has been the greatest lesson in my life thus far; that with a lot of guided focus, anything you dream of must come into being!
Pam June 21, 2017 at 8:41 PM
Thank you for sharing -- that's a really awesome story. I've heard similar ones from other people that intended to meet their celebrity crush, and they did. I really think it all comes down to deciding to have faith and letting the universe take over from there and lead you in the right direction.

Q: Resource causing FileIO file not found error? I have a very simple application. 1 Windows form, with 4 buttons and 6 labels. There is no programming. I was just testing some issues with the way windows 7 displays images on buttons with certain settings.

I copied the .exe file to another machine, double clicked and got this error:

I checked the event log and saw this:

The only thing it could be is the image file. I set the image file build action to Embedded resource, and still no luck. I even set the "copy to output directory" property to "Copy Always", still I get the same error.
I feel really dumb. How am I supposed to get this working correctly?
EDIT
It wasn't the image file. It was some 3rd part files.


I had a long list of things I was going to do over our Fall Break; blogposts, assignments, writing, planning for the next unit, etc. Instead, I ended up doing nothing. I disconnected and spent some quality time with my boy. We went on a short vacation. Watched movies. Relaxed. Went to a drumming festival. And now I feel completely re-engerized and ready for the next term. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all.

Wilmington, New Castle County still short on participation as census deadline looms
Mark Eichmann
Wilmington, Delaware (Tim Kiser/Wikimedia Commons)
It's been a unique year for the U.S. Census. The door-knocking campaign that traditionally follows up the mail and phone efforts to count residents usually runs from mid-May through the end of July. COVID-19 restrictions delayed the door-to-door effort, and that may have hampered attempts to get a full count.
There has been some question over when the Census Bureau would finish its count. Earlier this year, the White House urged the bureau to end the count on Sept. 30, rather than Oct. 31, as originally planned. On Thursday, a federal judge in California ordered the Trump administration to abandon last-minute changes to the 2020 census schedule and extend the time for counting an additional month. The administration is expected to appeal that ruling.
Regardless of that dispute, local leaders in Delaware are making a push this weekend to get more people counted.
Census participation in Wilmington, Delaware's largest city, is just over 54.5%. That's well below the rate at this time in 2010, when 62% of residents had been counted. At this time a decade ago, nearly 71% of the New Castle County population had participated. This year, only 62% of New Castle County residents have been counted.
Higher count means more federal money
"There are big dollars at risk, millions of dollars of federal money that we will lose each year for the next 10 years," said Matt Meyer, the New Castle County executive. "Money for schools, and jobs programs, economic development, housing programs, and all sorts of federal money that comes in."
During the pandemic, New Castle County got $322 million in federal funding through the CARES Act. That funding is due in part to the large size of the county's population, a number tabulated by census-takers 10 years ago.
"Right now, we're using CARES Act money to feed people, to make schools more accessible for those that are learning, we are providing all sorts of testing sites," he said. "All sorts of resources like that that we would likely not have access to if not for people doing their census."
"Throughout our history, the importance of counting all residents in the national census has been demonstrated time and time again," said Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki.
Your 2020 guide to voting in Delaware
After a record-setting turnout in the September primary, Delaware voters are expected to turn out in droves come November.
The city is joining the county at several community events on Saturday in hopes of increasing participation. From noon to 4 p.m., the Census Caravan will meet with people at Helen Chambers Playground, 24th and Market Streets, Prices Run Park and Surratte Park. The pep-rally style events will include music, food, and giveaways for those who complete their census forms.
In southern Delaware, there have been concerns about the ability to count the large Latino population, especially after the Trump administration tried to add questions about citizenship to the census. Several large sections of Delaware's southernmost county are included in the Census Bureau's "hard-to-count" population map. Just 53% of Sussex County residents have responded to the 2020 Census so far.
An extra seat?
There's an added urgency for Delaware's census tally this year.
"[There's] a chance, if we do well and there's an increase in population, that we get a second congressional representative. It's a small chance, but again, get out there, make sure you are getting enumerated," Meyer said.
Currently, Delaware is one of seven states that have only one member of the U.S. House. According to the Pew Research Center, Delaware has the second-highest ratio of residents to U.S. representative in the country. If the state were awarded a second seat in the House, it would likely have the lowest ratio.
The state's estimated population was 973,764 in 2019, according to the Census Bureau. If those residents were split between two representatives, the ratio of constituents would likely fall below Rhode Island, which has two representatives in the U.S. House for little more than 1 million residents.
All 435 seats in the House are reapportioned after the census every decade. Whether that process would include an extra seat for Delaware is anyone's guess.
Attorney: Congressional seat data not ready until February
The Census Bureau has found new irregularities in the headcount data that determines congressional seat allocations and the distribution of $1.5 trillion in spending each year
Many questions, few answers at first Delaware coronavirus business forum
More than 300 people attended an online forum hosted by the Delaware Division of Small Business to get feedback on the state's plans to reopen.

DNA request made in Cristiano Ronaldo rape case
AFP, Los Angeles :
Las Vegas police have asked football star Cristiano Ronaldo to submit a DNA sample as part of their investigation into rape allegations made against him. The five-time world player of the year - who plays for Italian league champions Juventus - has vehemently denied the accusations, and his lawyer Peter Christiansen said the request was standard procedure.
"Mr Ronaldo has always maintained, as he does today, that what occurred in Las Vegas in 2009 was consensual in nature, so it is not surprising that DNA would be present, nor that the police would make this very standard request as part of their investigation," he said in a statement. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said it had made an official request to Italian authorities, adding it is "taking the same steps in this case as in any other sexual assault to facilitate the collection of DNA evidence".
Former model Kathryn Mayorga, 34, of Las Vegas, made the accusations against the now 33-year-old Ronaldo in a complaint filed last year in the state of Nevada.
She claims after meeting the footballer at a Las Vegas nightclub, he raped her at his hotel suite on June 13, 2009 - just before he joined Real Madrid from Manchester United for a then-world record 94 million euros ($108 million).
Mayorga's lawyers have said previously she immediately reported the alleged rape to the Las Vegas police and underwent a medical examination.
A private mediation was organised with representatives of Ronaldo, Mayorga and their lawyers, where she alleges she was paid $375,000 to keep quiet. Ronaldo's lawyers have said that the non-disclosure agreement signed with the former model was "by no means a confession of guilt".
Mayorga's attorney has said the model agreed to an out-of-court settlement to keep her name from going public, but was inspired to speak out by the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment.
Her attorney could not immediately be reached for comment, but in the past said the agreement should be made null and void because it was made when she was suffering from extreme psychological duress.
Ronaldo is widely considered one of the greatest footballers in the history of the game, having won the Champions League title five times - once with Manchester United and four times with Real Madrid.He also led Portugal to the Euro 2016 title in France.
Juventus signed him last year from Real for 100 million euros ($115 million), the most ever paid for a player aged over 30.


Camping is about slow sunrises melting the last tendrils of night; the cicadas' symphony heralding sunset; it's the sense of discovery delving off the beaten track and living with nature's slower rhythm. Unzip your fly net for moments less travelled and set your compass for a direct encounter with Tropical North Queensland nature at its most intimate and beguiling.
Whether your idea of camping is a beachfront cabin with a dose of luxe or a remote wilderness experience, the region has endless swoonworthy camping locations. The common theme? Waking up in paradise. If water is what floats your boat, glamp beachfront at Australia's most northerly camping ground at Punsand Bay, or head to palm-fringed Dunk Island. Just arriving by water taxi makes you feel like this is the start of an adventure movie.
Or camp in a cattle station. Try Goshen Station, where the first season of Australian Survivor was filmed, or fall asleep to the lullaby of a cascading waterfall on Woodleigh Station. With campers keen to swim, fish and kayak, the hundreds of kilometres of creek and riverfront sites throughout Cape York make for memories you'll relive again and again.
With plenty of extinct volcanoes in the area, sleeping next to a geological wonder may be more your thing. Camp by the Undara lava tubes, the longest on the planet, near a crater lake at Lake Eacham, or near 1700-million-year-old Cobbold Gorge. Or head to Gulf Savannah country and pitch a tent at Adels Grove on the edge of the rugged Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park or at Karumba at the mouth of the Norman River. Wherever you choose, you'll be a happy camper.
Why sleep five-star when you can lie out under a billion?
Rest your head easy on a visit to Tropical North Queensland. From sleeping under the stars on the reef to pitching a tent on the beach, here's your guide to an unforgettable stay in the tropics.
Whether it's time spent outdoors, the excitement of exploring a new landscape or just sleeping under the stars, my time camping as a kid has meant a desire to share similar experiences with my own children.

Blood Cancer Squared: My acute myeloid leukemia story and my daughter's parallel journey with B-Cell Lymphoma.
I keep telling myself not to count on anything. A delayed marrow transplant date, room changes in the hospital, the unexpected BK virus, not to mention my pre-hospital life experiences – a leukemia diagnosis, a surprise pregnancy that became twins, a daughter with a genetic disorder. One would think I would be used to surprises by now or at least have low expectations to protect me from repeated disappointments. Strangely, it is not so.
A social worker who met me during my induction chemotherapy called me "the best reframer" she had ever met. In her line of work a "reframer" is a person who can look at a situation that generally seems negative and "reframe" the scenario to seem less negative. Social workers are trained in reframing to help their patients look on the bright-side. "Most people have trouble reframing," she told me. "But I have heard you reframe at least twenty times since I came in the room. You're doing my job!" Perhaps I missed my calling. I could have earned the "Social Work Reframer of the Year" award.
Cali proudly shows off her 100th-Day-of-School crown and kindergarten homework.
In my classic reframing style, I foolishly had my heart set on some big plans for this weekend. Every time I discussed my plans with anyone I was careful to add the disclaimer: Of course this all depends on everyone in my family being well. Its quite likely none of this will happen at all. But the truth was I didn't believe my disclaimer. I believed everyone would be well. I actually believed I would visit my home for my daughter's seventh birthday dinner and two days later my husband would come see me at The Cottage for a private one-night date. I truly believed this scenario was possible even though there has only been one week during the last twelve where all four of my children and my husband have simultaneously been not-sick. I guess irrational faith is the beauty of being an optimist.
As early as last week, things were not looking good for my plans. My daughter Summer came down with a fever, runny nose and cough on Monday. Her twin sister Faith followed suite on Wednesday. My son Reef came home from school on Thursday with a fever and a headache. It's not likely I will be able to go, I told my friends and family. But in my head I thought, Cali's birthday is more than a week away. Everyone will probably get better by then. And if I can't visit the house, at least Mike can come visit me. The inner voice of a true optimist can be hidden, but not erased.
Summer and Faith play at the beach.
Over the beautiful warm weekend, pictures sent to me on my phone of my kids playing at the beach convinced me I was right. Everyone is getting better! I thought. And I imagined my homecoming. I would have the kids change their shirts into clean ones so I could give them hugs. I would bring my own frozen dinner so Mike wouldn't have to worry about cooking anti-microbially. Instead of mailing valentines to my family, I superstitiously held on to the cards to I could award them in person.
Summer plays at the park.
Then on Monday, Mike called for my advice about Summer. "She has a fever again," he said. Is she still coughing? I asked. With a fever and a cough, Mike took her to see the doctor. Although her lungs sounded strong the doctor did find she had a minor ear infection, but nothing contagious to me. We're in the clear! I thought again. On Wednesday morning, Mike called again. "Summer has a diaper rash and it's spreading to her knees, elbows and mouth." Once again, they went to the doctor. She had hand-foot-and-mouth disease and the doctor predicted Faith would acquire the disease next. Despite its foreboding name, this highly contagious viral illness is common among preschoolers and fairly harmless for young children. While the blisters from the rash can be somewhat painful, they usually don't last much longer than a few days. The immune systems of older children often fight the virus quite easily, and adults usually show no symptoms at all. However, I was not sure of the implications for a immunocompromised person. I suspected they were not so good.
Me standing next to "El Palo Alto" which means "The Tall Tree." In 1769 Spanish explorer Portola named the adjacent creekside camping spot after this famous tree and the name stuck.
I knew better than to ask her if now would be a good time to purposely expose myself to hand-foot-and-mouth disease by going home to my germ-infested house for my daughter's seventh birthday. Instead I asked how long she thought the toddlers would be contagious and if would be okay for my husband to visit me by himself. The optimist in me still thought there was a chance I might be seeing some of my family this weekend. "If he is the one caring for the toddlers," the doctor said apologetically, "he should wait for at least a week from their last incidence of open blisters to see you. Hand-foot-and-mouth disease could be very problematic for you right now." She said she would research how long I should wait to see the babies. Tears came to my eyes, but I fought them back, telling myself I had expected not to go home, it was no big deal. Yet sometimes it feels like I will never go home; will I be stuck indefinitely in the limbo world of going-home-soon?
You just never know what you will see in Palo Alto. This golden waits patiently on the car-top while its owners dine in a nearby eatery.
But surprises are not always bad. When we got back to the cottage, a group of neighbors was congregated at the corners of the nearest cross street, Seale, named for the original turn-of-the-century developer of our historic Old Palo Alto neighborhood. Police blocked the streets and a tent had been erected a few houses down, less than a block from my cottage. For days, police signs had lined the adjacent streets proclaiming no parking on Thursday morning without any indication of why. I had automatically assumed road work, but this did not look like road work. I questioned a man standing on the corner dressed in a slick white suit holding three slim cell phones, What is all the excitement about? It turns out President Obama – yes, THE OFFICIAL PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES – was at a private democratic fundraiser at the tented house earlier this morning! We missed seeing his motorcade by minutes. What a different kind of surprise! Somehow it didn't matter that we physically missed his procession. The president of the United States passed several feet from my house! I don't know why, but the thought lifted my spirits. The president of the United States! I must be important! I must really be somebody to be living less the a block from a house where the president goes! I wore a smile the rest of my walk. The excitement in the air was contagious. The proximity of the president felt like a good omen.
The unassuming house of the presidential meeting.
The near-sighting of President Obama was a good omen.
President Obama is a fan of my blog and actually came to Old Palo Alto to meet me. When he found out I was busy at the ITA, he hit up the nearby $33,000 per head Democratic fundraiser as the next best attraction.
I will be cleared to visit my family by next weekend. Required disclaimer: I realize this is unlikely.
I will actually drink 3 liters of water today and everyday henceforth.
My new neighbor Mrs. Jobs (widow of Steve Jobs) will see my hepa-mask when I walk by her house and be interested in my cancer story. I will express my condolences for her husband (who I shamefully know little about) and subsequently she will invite me in for tea, which I will pretend I can actually drink through my mask. And then…I will get to see the inside of her historic 1933 Medieval Revival gnome-home designed and built by master architect and artist Carr Jones! Carr Jones, a Watsonville native, was the original "green builder" using surplus materials from the building of the golden gate bridge, second-hand brick and tile, and other salvaged materials to create works of art. (Read all about it at http://www.pastheritage.org/Articles/2101WaverleyMF.html.) So far I've only encountered Mrs. Jobs' security guard (I think?), but I walk by every day because I believe our meeting is imminent.
My graft-versus-host reaction will be gone by the beginning of next week if I practice yoga religiously every day for the next four days.
Taking a mellow walk twice a day will prepare me for the incredible energy I will need when I get home to take care of four kids.
10. I will be in the 2/3rds group for whom AML disease never comes back again!!
The nurses all say feeling positive about your recovery and prognosis has a huge effect on your actual success, and I am lucky to be naturally positively inclined. Are you glass-half-full or glass-half-empty? You can take the glass away, but you can't change the way us optimists see the world. We can't help it. We were just born that way.
Krissy and I explore some local trails, clean and mellow style.
I just read your latest blog, and then stepped outside for a breath of fresh air and to check out the night sky. The bold letters of #10 stood out in my minds eye…that you will be in the 2/3 of AML patients who never have a recurrence again… and just then, a huge beautiful shooting star flew across the dark night… in my own optimistic system of personal beliefs, I always think what was my last thought before I saw the shooting star?…and in my heart I know, this is a sign that whatever it was I was thinking about is, or will come to be, true. So I had to share this with you. The universe agrees with number 10!!
I remain delighted at your progress, Jenny, and, share your belief that optimism plays a prominent role in our capacity to prevail over the challenges we face during our lifetime. Stay the course young lady!!!
That's a great list, especially number 10! Ran in Pogonip today and noticed that the spring wild flowers are beginning to peak out. Those wild flowers always remind me of what spring means: life and hope and rebirth.
Had some helpers post my comment too soon. Your home in Santa Cruz is waiting for you and planning a wonderful spring display in honor of your homecoming, health and vitality.
Jenny, I was so pleasantly surprised to have Cali in my yoga class yesterday! It has been a while since I have seen her but she didn't miss a beat, and promptly sat right next to me with such a delighted hello. She warms my heart. I'm so glad that I will be with her every Monday for the next five weeks!!!
Thinking of you a lot. I am so thankful for your sharing of your experience. I look forward to seeing you on a morning Westcliff walk!

MoD – Me Vs Me
Date:March 4, 2016
Category:Features & Interviews
← The Truth Behind Drake's Hotline Bling
The Hidden Success Story of Asia's Music Industry – A Conversation with Trần Khởi My →
"Me vs Me was a concept developed from personal experience. It was not too long before I figured that things happen for a reason, recognising that sometimes we, as humans, can be our own biggest enemy. It's all about being the best possible version of yourself that you can possibly be, taking yourself to new heights. Realising that I am in control and can make things happen."
About a year back, I was on the phone with MoD, talking through everything with him, what he's done thus far, and his plans for the coming years. That's when (after a little prying) he told me about his upcoming collaboration with the legend that is Fatman Scoop. He told me the title of the track,Hip Hop's Back, and I heard a 10 second snippet of the beat…that's all I needed to hear. He later dropped 2 tracks in my inbox, Dreaming On and Miss America. That funky soulful sound was confirmation that Birmingham's Golden Boy of Hip Hop was everything we thought he was: his vision was clear, his work ethic unprecedented.
The first time we actually came across MoD was back in December of 2013. After scrolling through countless (dead) 'new music' submissions, he submitted his Say Less and Do More EP project to us. The artwork was immediately eye-catching and despite not knowing the man, I found myself head-bopping my way through the project. He made quite the statement, opening up the project with what we would call the anthem: Where My People At?
"I've matured a lot since [Say Less & Do More]. I've played a lot more shows, so I've been able to see how crowds react, giving me an indication as to what works and what doesn't" speaking on his progression up to now since the last project. "With this [upcoming] project I have tried to keep it all in house, working with only 2 producers. With SLDM I worked with a wide range of different producers, meaning I was unable to clearly define my sound, as I wanted to. "
We later crossed paths in the early summer of 2014, at the 'Not Another Love Song' Elektric EP Launch back at the Yardbird. He had the people dancing and vibing to his anthem performed with a live band, as he always tries to do, before Elektric took the stage.
One thing MoD has managed to do well is stay in his own lane. Never to say anyone should be against collaboration, of course not, but to focus on YOUR development more so than chasing short-lived buzz with others in a city, that's an art form in itself. A mentality to keep you distant enough to stand strongly and definitively alone yet able to reach out when the times are right, one that MoD is fast on his way to mastering.
That's not to say he hasn't got some exciting work with others on his upcoming project, Me vs Me.
"On the project we have Knox Brown, who in my opinion is Britain's finest, the dude is on another planet! I also worked with Joel Johnson for Hip Hop's Back…"
talking on those involved in the project's production.
"…which features Fatman Scoop. I'm also collaborating with an incredible singer named Kiko Bun with a few more names I can't mention just yet."
For months after that summer of 2014, we watched MoD as he consistently grew his fan base, performing at shows across the country, steadily getting bigger and bigger opportunities. After multiple appearances on major UK media channels, Charlie Sloth, GRM Daily and an interview onBBC WM Introducing, the Man of the Dream was fortunate to have supported the likes of Kelis in Birmingham, Tinie Tempah in Zante and even perform at Glastonbury Festival 2015.
"I would have to say playing at Glastonbury 2015 was definitely a career highlight for me so far, as its something that not every rapper, especially from Birmingham, gets to do. It was an honour to be there."
The upcoming project, Me vs Me, has been long waited on by eager listeners as well as the rapper himself. Working through his busy schedule, MoD has been travelling up and down the country to get it done.
"I recorded some of the project at Knox Brown's studio in Birmingham and some at Cabin Studios in South West London. The writing process has been very fun and organic. I always try to have fun when writing, making it as real and relatable as possible."
The prodigy is looking forward 'leaving his stamp' on the game but most of all, seeing the people's reaction to the music.
"When creating, there's an element of not knowing how people are going to react, it's a thrill, exciting to know I get to share my passions, yet nerve racking at the same time."

SWL considers adding name to charter-school chorus
Chad Klimack
PATASKALA - Southwest Licking Local Schools officials remain concerned about the amount of money they contend they are losing to charter schools.
To that end, they are considering drawing up a bill for the lost funds and then submitting it to the state.
The school board discussed the proposal during a May 19 meeting.
School board President Debra Moore suggested the district consider the move.
Other public school district from around the state are doing the same, she said.
Treasurer Richard Jones supplied the board with some figures to illustrate how much the district is losing to charter schools.
Between 2002 and 2016, Jones said the district lost $6 million in funds to charter schools.
"Obviously, the state is not going to pay (the bill)," Jones said. "It's a statement more than anything."
The board ultimately instructed Jones to prepare the needed legislation. It could take action on it when it next meets in regular session on June 16.
In the meantime, board member Kandee Engle argued the state does not maintain a level playing field between charter schools and public schools.
"They're not being held to the same standards as we are," she said.
Board member Daniel Bell added he has no issue with charter schools. His issue, he said, is with the state pulling funding from public schools, including Southwest Licking.
Jones concurred. He said public schools from around the state would not be approving similar pieces of legislation if the state separated the way it funds public schools and charter schools.
"What they're doing is shorting our kids to give money to the charter schools," said Jones, when reached after the board's May 19 meeting.
The state's current funding formula subtracts money from Southwest Licking when a student from the district attends a charter school. For many districts, including Southwest Licking, that amount is more than the district receives in state funding.
Dozens of other schools from around the state have either sent the state bills or passed resolutions decrying the current way charter schools are funding.


Working on a smaller scale than I usually do. Each block is only 4.5 inches square!
There have been times when I've actually screamed when a block won't cooperate with me. I've ripped a few apart and started over, and one of the corners I have given up on for awhile, as after two tries, it still comes out way too big. I'll get back to it after a little more practice. I keep looking at it, talking to it, and trying to determine just what it needs to be happy.
Quilting is a lot like relationships.
Sometimes things work just fine. They take little effort, and they just seem to come together. Other times, they take a lot of patience; more patience than you think you have. They sometimes require you to look at the situation differently, come up with several possibilities and determine the best solution for the problem. Sometimes in your relationship/quilting you just need to sit quietly and meditate. Other times, you need to get physical and use some energy. (Seriously, have you ever wrestled a quilt? I have!) I'm finding my Dear Sammy Jane quilt to fit all of the above.
The WiFi on my laptop is still not working. I've spent way too much time trying to fix it. HP said they'd take care of it for me, free of charge, but I need to ship the computer to them. It means that they will replace the WiFi unit, REFORMAT the computer back to factory condition, and send it back to me. I don't know about you, but I'm never happy when someone reformats my computer. All the goodies I have put on it go bye-bye. All the settings I've labored over go kaput. It means reinstalling software like my Dear Jane program, among others. Nope, I don't like it one bit.
So, being the smart person I thought I was, I said to myself, "Why couldn't I just go buy an external WiFi card myself and be in business without all that reformatting stuff?" So I bought one. Spent two hours trying to get it to work. Nope. It didn't. So I boxed up the laptop in the box that HP sent me, and it is now in the hands of FedEX. I am hoping that Best Buy will refund my purchase when I take the external WiFi back. I am worrying about my laptop being out of my possession. Please pray for me and my baby! And stay tuned… I'll be sure to keep you posted.
I think I need to go do some hand quilting. It is the only thing that really relaxes me.
A glass of wine might help, too.
Hope your computing day is going better than mine!
We've sure become dependent on our computers when it comes to quilting and staying in touch with our quilting friends, haven't we! Our foremothers would be astounded to see how quilters exchange ideas and communicate these days. And when our computer goes to the hospital it's almost as bad as when our machine goes – we feel like we have lost one of our children!
Two blocks a week sounds great to me! I wish I could say as much for my output! Yes, computers are a headache. When I had my son around I felt much more secure about computer usage. Now if I mess something up I have to call friends and apologize back and forth.
I really like your Dear Sammy Jane quilt the colors are lovely. I also enjoyed your analogy about quilting relationships. It is so true. I hope to see more updates on your Jane.
