Q: Need help with partitions after dual booting ubuntu to existing windows 10 install I was given an older Compaq Presario CQ60 Laptop with Windows 10 on it and I setup a dual boot with Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.  I'm a linux beginner and was way over my head with the install but everything is working.  In my endevor to learn terminal and the different partitioning commands, lsblk, fdisk, sfdisk and parted, I have found I have some partition issues and I don't know what to do.  It seems there was an old windows 8 partition I was not aware of when I did the installation.
Using the command sudo parted -l gives the output:
wildman@wildman-Compaq-Presario-CQ60-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo parted -l
[sudo] password for wildman:

That leave sda3 which is 45 GB W98 Ext'd (LBA) and sda4 which is 9 GB HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

What do I do about that? Please Help.


Rochelle Youner, who lives at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale, a nursing home in the Bronx, walked up to a kiosk in a common area of the home's first floor and pressed a button below a small icon depicting a baseball glove.
"That's the real stuff — that's a mitt, all right," Ms. Youner, 80, said, smelling the leathery fragrance emitted from the kiosk, which attempts to bring the ballpark, or at least the smell of it, to the residents.
Many of the Hebrew Home's residents were born and raised in the Bronx and are lifelong fans of the Yankees, with memories of visiting Yankee Stadium stretching back to the eras of Mantle and DiMaggio, and even earlier to Gehrig and Ruth.
But many of these older fans also suffer age-related memory loss. So the home, which often finds seasonal pegs for its reminiscence therapy programs, has timed its latest program to opening day at Yankee Stadium on Monday by erecting the kiosk with the therapeutic goal of recreating the distinctive smell of the ballpark.
"Too bad we can't be there in person," Ms. Youner said.
This is the point of the kiosk: to once again take these fans out to the ballgame.
For residents who followed the Dodgers, the scents recalled childhood days at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, and for Giants baseball fans, they brought back afternoons at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan, in the days before both teams decamped for the West Coast.
The kiosk features six ballpark scents — hot dogs, popcorn, beer, grass, cola and the mitt — in separate push-button dispensers installed at a height accessible to residents in wheelchairs.
It was recently installed in the permanent "Yankees Dugout" exhibition of team memorabilia at the nursing home, which includes seats, a turnstile and a locker from the old Yankee Stadium.
The olfactory exhibit, called "Scents of the Game," is meant to evoke long-forgotten memories from the home's 785 residents, many of whom have Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
Many have difficulty with short-term memories but with some prompting can summon long-term ones, such as detailed recollections of childhood visits to ballparks decades ago, said Mary Farkas, director of therapeutic arts and enrichment programs at the Hebrew Home, where baseball has also been used in art therapy and poetry workshops.
Prompting these ballpark memories helps connect many residents with the joy they felt at the time and also helps stimulate their cognition, Mrs. Farkas said.
Dr. Mark W. Albers, a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, who studies the effect of scent on patients with neurodegenerative disease, said the Hebrew Home's memory exhibit touches on fairly new territory in sensory therapy in trying to resurrect positive recollections in a small population of patients who share certain common memories.
Memory loss in older patients can often cause "an erosion of familiarity" and be accompanied by feelings of disorientation, he said. Unearthing pleasant memories from earlier years through sensory stimulation may help patients feel more stable, Dr. Albers said.
Of course, he added, memories of Yankee Stadium might bring back very different emotions for fans like him, who root for the Boston Red Sox.
For Renee Babenzien, 89, the hot dog aroma triggered recollections of vendors selling franks with mustard and sauerkraut.
Al Cappiello, 68, smelled the fragrances and recalled the sensory explosion he experienced the first time he walked into Yankee Stadium as a boy.
Up until then, he said, watching the Yankees meant watching games on a black-and-white television set, with the action being called by Mel Allen, the Yankees broadcaster.
He did see Yogi Berra, tossing a ball with teammate Johnny Blanchard, and he managed to get Berra's autograph.
Ms. Youner also recalled being surprised by how different the ballpark seemed in person.
"The first time I walked into the ballpark, I noticed that everything was bigger — even the basepaths were so much wider," she said.
For Terry Gioffere, 90, who grew up in the Bronx, the smells evoked memories of watching her hero, Roger Maris — although in more recent decades she became a Derek Jeter disciple.
For Joan Jackson, 84, the smells took her back to her first trip to Yankee Stadium, at age 6, but also reminded her of the role that the stadium played in helping her raise five children in the Bronx after her husband died in 1973.
"I had to do something to lift the kids up, so I said, 'Let's do something fun and go to Yankee Stadium,'" she recalled. "The kids fell in love with baseball," she said, and going to games helped hold the family together.
Even Joe Pepitone, a star for the Yankees in the 1960s who spoke at the kiosk's recent unveiling, said the smells reminded him of playing in Yankee Stadium as a rookie first baseman in 1962.
For Frances Freeman, who grew up in Brooklyn rooting for the Dodgers, the kiosk's beer smell did provoke a reaction. The 103-year-old woman steered her wheelchair to the beverage table and grabbed a beer.
Since scent and memory are intimately linked, using the smells of the ballpark presented "a chance to reach the residents in a special way, as a tool to unlock doors in their memories," said David V. Pomeranz, the Hebrew Home's chief operating officer.
Mr. Pomeranz said the kiosk idea grew out of a discussion he had with Andreas Fibig, chief executive of International Flavors and Fragrances, a Manhattan-based company that creates scents for perfumes and other products, as well as flavors for food and beverages.
The company did not have to venture to any ballpark to capture the smells — its perfumers created them from the firm's vast catalog of fragrances, said Matthias Tabert, the company's senior manager for strategic insights.
Some ballpark staples did not make it into the array of scents, such as peanuts and Cracker Jack. Though both could be developed as fragrances with no traces of real peanuts, the home decided against it to avoid alarming people with peanut allergies, Mr. Pomeranz said.
For Al Schwartz, 91, the scent kiosk reminded him of first visiting Yankee Stadium in the late 1930s, when 60 cents could buy a seat in the bleachers and $1.10 a seat in the grandstand.
Mr. Schwartz said the smells reminded him of the joy of watching Joe DiMaggio snare a fly ball and the sadness of learning in 1979 that Yankees catcher Thurman Munson had died in an airplane crash.
Mr. Schwartz also recalled a 1942 charity exhibition in which Babe Ruth made a post-retirement appearance and struggled to hit a home run against the great pitcher Walter Johnson in front of 70,000 fans.
A version of this article appears in print on April 1, 2018, on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Catching a Whiff of Faded Ballpark Memories.
Many people wonder if it is a good idea to give their home to their children. While it is possible to do this, giving away a house can have major tax consequences, among other results.
While your parents may not have to pay taxes on the gift, if you sell the house right away, you may be facing steep taxes. The reason is that when property is given away, the tax basis (or the original cost) of the property for the giver becomes the tax basis for the recipient. For example, suppose your parents bought the house years ago for $150,000 and it is now worth $350,000. If they give their house to you, the tax basis will be $150,000. If you sell the house, you will have to pay capital gains taxes on $200,000 — the difference between $150,000 and the selling price. The only way for you to avoid the taxes is for you to live in the house for at least two years before selling it. In that case, you can exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for a couple) of their capital gains from taxes.
Inherited property does not face the same taxes as gifted property. If you were to inherit the property, the property's tax basis would be "stepped up," which means the basis would be the current value of the property. However, the home will remain in your parents' estate, which may have estate tax consequences.
Beyond the tax consequences, gifting a house to you can affect your parents' eligibility for Medicaid coverage of long-term care. There are other options for giving a house to children, including putting it in a trust or selling it to them. Before your parents give away their home, they should consult with your elder law attorney, who can advise them on the best method for passing on their home.

A Kentucky appeals court rules that a Medicaid applicant's penalty period is appropriate because the state is not required to treat multiple transfers as a single transaction when the transfers are not related. Marcum v. Commonwealth (Ky. Ct. App., No. 2014-CA-000487-MR, April 10, 2015).
In July 2011, Betty Marcum applied for Medicaid and the state imposed a penalty period based on a transfer of assets. During the penalty period, Ms. Marcum sold her home and transferred the proceeds into an irrevocable trust, with her family gifting a portion of the money back to her. She also made other transfers from her bank account. In June 2012, Ms. Marcum applied for Medicaid benefits again. The state imposed a second penalty period, running from the date of the second application.
Ms. Marcum appealed, contending that the state incorrectly calculated the penalty period. The state's Medicaid operations manual requires that multiple related transfers be counted as a single transaction that occurred on the date of the first transfer and that once a penalty period has been established, it runs until expiration. Ms. Marcum argued that these provisions required the state to treat all of the disqualifying transfers together in a single penalty period. A state appeal board upheld the imposition of the second penalty period, and a trial court affirmed.

Can I Give My Kids $14,000 a Year?
If you have it to give, you certainly can, but there may be consequences should you apply for Medicaid long-term care coverage within five years after each gift.
The $14,000 figure is the amount of the current gift tax exclusion (for 2014 and 2015), meaning that any person who gives away $14,000 or less to any one individual does not have to report the gift to the IRS, and you can give this amount to as many people as you like. If you give away more than $14,000 to any one person (other than your spouse), you will have to file a gift tax return. However, this does not necessarily mean you'll pay a gift tax. You'll have to pay a tax only if your reportable gifts total more than $5.43 million (2015 figure) during your lifetime.
Many people believe that if they give away an amount equal to the current $14,000 annual gift tax exclusion, this gift will be exempted from Medicaid's five-year look-back at transfers that could trigger a waiting period for benefits. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The gift tax exclusion is an IRS rule, and this IRS rule has nothing to do with Medicaid's asset transfer rules. While the $14,000 that you gave to your grandchild this year will be exempt from any gift tax, Medicaid will still count it as a transfer that could make you ineligible for nursing home benefits for a certain amount of time should you apply for them within the next five years. You may be able to argue that the gift was not made to qualify you for Medicaid, but proving that is an uphill battle.
If you think there is a chance you will need Medicaid coverage of long-term care in the foreseeable future, see your elder law attorney before starting a gifting plan.
Reversing a trial court, a Louisiana appeals court determines that a nursing home resident improperly transferred close to $50,000 to his caregiver nephew and the nephew's wife because the payments were not made pursuant to a valid personal care agreement. David v. State of Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (La. Ct. App., 1st, No. 2014 CA 0791, Dec. 23, 2014).
Widley David entered a Louisiana nursing home in 2008. Between 2008 and 2010, Mr. David wrote six checks to his nephew and his nephew's wife totaling $49,195. According to Mr. David, the checks were intended to repay his closest living relatives for the daily care that they provided him in the nursing home. When Mr. David applied for Medicaid in December 2010, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) assessed a nearly 15-month penalty period due to the transfers.
Mr. David did not appeal the initial imposition of a penalty period, but in July 2011 he requested a change in status from private pay to full Medicaid pay. DHH denied this request, stating that pursuant to the initial denial, Mr. David was ineligible for Medicaid until January 2012. Mr. David appealed the denial of his change in status, arguing that the payments to his relatives were reimbursement for care provided and not to qualify for Medicaid. DHH claimed that the payments would be valid only if made pursuant to a written personal care agreement, which Mr. David had never executed. After a trial court found in favor of Mr. David, the state appealed.

Pressure defense sparks furious Tuslaw comeback win over CVCA
By Alex TichenorIndependent sports writer
Tuslaw forced 14 second-half turnovers as it rallied from a double-digit deficit to shock PAC-7 co-leader CVCA.
TUSCARAWAS TWP. Shots weren't falling. Bounces were going the other way.
Down double digits midway through the third quarter, Tuslaw had to do something to switch things up against a CVCA team perfectly willing to bleed the clock for minute-long possessions.
Enter the half-court trap.
Tuslaw's pressure defense worked to perfection, turning the Royals over 14 times in the final 12 minutes, as the Mustangs rallied for a stunning 50-45 win.
A strategy almost every high school coach keeps in their back pocket for special occasions, the trap proved to be the game-changer in the Mustangs' second straight win over a league-leading team. CVCA (10-6, 6-3) led by 14 in the third quarter when Tuslaw head coach Lynn Wess gave his team the order.
"We had to something to speed them up and we had to do something to get our guys going," Wess said. "The half-court trap was definitely the ticket. We put the pressure on them."
And Tuslaw stayed in the trap for almost the entirety of the final 12 minutes. However, even as it forced seven CVCA turnovers over the final four minutes of the third quarter — the Royals only turned it over twice in the first 20 minutes — the Mustangs still trailed by 10 heading into the final quarter.
That's when the turnovers started turning into baskets. And Yost was the player who found the ball in his hands for much of the final stretch.
Frustrated for most of the first three quarters, Yost lived in CVCA's passing lanes over the final eight minutes, swiping four steals and converting on the other end. His 3-pointer with 3:11 left answered Trey Williams' 3-pointer to pull the Mustangs within three. Yost hit a tough runner after that to pull the Mustangs even closer.
And to cap off a personal 7-0 run, Yost jumped a CVCA pass and sprinted to the other end to finish a double-clutch layup, giving Tuslaw (11-5, 4-5) its first lead of the night.
CVCA scored a possession later, but another Yost steal led to a trip to the free-throw line, where the senior guard converted to give the Mustangs a 46-45 lead with 56 ticks left. The Royals never got the lead back.
"I think it was all mental, honestly," Yost said. "We weren't getting good shots in the half-court. The trap definitely got us going. Without it we would have lost for sure."
Yost scored 11 straight points for the Mustangs in just 2:49 of game time for a huge 13-point quarter. He finished with a game-high 21.
A game removed from big win dominated by its big men — Tommy Mummertz and Justin Carroll combined for 35 points in Tuslaw's win over Northwest last Friday — the Mustangs' guards put on the show against CVCA.
Joining Yost as the game's biggest difference maker was Cole Freidly, who kept the Mustangs afloat when the rest of their offense couldn't find its way. Freidly knocked down four 3-pointers en route to a 20-point night.
"When we weren't scoring, he was literally all our offense," Yost said. "He's always been a shooter and tonight he proved that again."
Freidly's two free throws with four seconds left sealed the deal. Yost and Freidly combined to score 41 of Tuslaw's 50 points.
"That shows how talented we can be," Freidly said. "Any of our five starters can go for 20."
After an up-and-down start to league play, the Mustangs now boast back-to-back wins against the PAC-7's co-leaders — CVCA and Northwest. Tuesday marked the first varsity win over the Royals for most of Tuslaw's players as well. The Mustangs' last win over CVCA came in February of 2016.
"We're as good as any team in our conference," Yost said. "It just depends on our hustle and our (will) to win. Tonight we wanted to win."
Williams scored a team-high 11 points for CVCA, which scored just seven points in the fourth quarter.

DNA Science: Modeling Rosalind Franklin's Discovery with a Pen Spring
written by Rebecca Vieyra
content provider: Gregory A. Braun, Dennis Tierney, and Heidrun Schmitzer
In this interdisciplinary lab, students examine the diffraction pattern of a helical spring from a ballpoint pen to gain insight into how chemical physicist Rosalind Franklin determined the structure of DNA. The lesson was inspired by a 2011 article in The Physics Teacher magazine, which aims to provide students with a "sense for the usefulness of diffraction techniques." High school and undergraduate classrooms, of course, can't duplicate x-ray diffraction imaging techniques used by Franklin and her team. Yet, by projecting light rays from a laser pointer through a ballpoint pen spring, students can observe and analyze the unique x-shaped pattern produced by a helical structure. The Student Guide provides explicit directions for recording observations and using simple geometry to determine pitch angle of the diffraction patterns.
See Related Materials for a link to the full article in The Physics Teacher (free access).
Editor's Note: Although DNA is like a helical spring, the pitch angle of DNA is much greater than the pitch angle of most pen springs. The article in The Physics Teacher magazine explains these differences in detail.

Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer (HS-PS4)
Students who demonstrate understanding can: (9-12)
Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media. (HS-PS4-1)
Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy. (HS-PS4-5)
Disciplinary Core Ideas (K-12)
Wave Properties (PS4.A)
[From the 3–5 grade band endpoints] Waves can add or cancel one another as they cross, depending on their relative phase (i.e., relative position of peaks and troughs of the waves), but they emerge unaffected by each other. (Boundary: The discussion at this grade level is qualitative only; it can be based on the fact that two different sounds can pass a location in different directions without getting mixed up.) (9-12)
Information Technologies and Instrumentation (PS4.C)
Multiple technologies based on the understanding of waves and their interactions with matter are part of everyday experiences in the modern world (e.g., medical imaging, communications, scanners) and in scientific research. They are essential tools for producing, transmitting, and capturing signals and for storing and interpreting the information contained in them. (9-12)
Inheritance of Traits (LS3.A)
Each chromosome consists of a single very long DNA molecule, and each gene on the chromosome is a particular segment of that DNA. The instructions for forming species' characteristics are carried in DNA. All cells in an organism have the same genetic content, but the genes used (expressed) by the cell may be regulated in different ways. Not all DNA codes for a protein; some segments of DNA are involved in regulatory or structural functions, and some have no as-yet known function. (9-12)
Crosscutting Concepts (K-12)
Patterns (K-12)
Different patterns may be observed at each of the scales at which a system is studied and can provide evidence for causality in explanations of phenomena. (9-12)
Structure and Function (K-12)
The functions and properties of natural and designed objects and systems can be inferred from their overall structure, the way their components are shaped and used, and the molecular substructures of its various materials. (9-12)
Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World (K-12)
Technologies extend the measurement, exploration, modeling, and computational capacity of scientific investigations. (6-8)
Science is a Human Endeavor (3-12)
Science is a result of human endeavors, imagination, and creativity. (9-12)
NGSS Science and Engineering Practices (K-12)

Non-essential construction work may stop to 'radically reduce interactions'
Published 8 January 2021
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has revealed that she is considering whether additional lockdown restrictions are needed for non-essential work in Scotland to help bring the number of coronavirus cases down.
No decision has yet been made, but in an interview with ITV Good Morning Britain yesterday morning, the First Minister said this might involve further restrictions on non-essential business activities.
The First Minister said she hopes the restrictions will bring case numbers down but is considering whether such further measures are necessary.
She said: "I hope the restrictions if people abide by them and people have been fantastic at abiding by restrictions all along and that's not easy, if people abide by them I hope and believe we can see the case rise stem and hopefully cases start to decline but I'm not complacent about that yet, we are monitoring traffic numbers for example to see the extent to which this lockdown is keeping people at home.
"There is a question in my mind about whether we need to go a bit further in restricting non-essential business activities to cut even further the reasons that people have for being outside of their own home and that's something I will be looking at with my advisers over the next few days."
Listen below to Euan Clark of Ashleigh Building and the Scottish Building Federation who appeared on BBC Radio Scotland this morning to speak up on behalf of the importance of the continuation of safe construction activity during these difficult times.
Graemedownie · BBC Good Morning Scotland - Euan Clark - 8 January 2021
Speaking at her daily coronavirus briefing yesterday afternoon, Ms Sturgeon indicated that construction sites as well as click and collect services may be told to shut to "radically reduce interactions".
She said: "In the last lockdown non-essential construction and manufacturing didn't operate for a period, they've both done an awful lot to make their operations safer but we have to keep all of that under review.
"All employers should be reviewing their operations to allow as many people to work from home as possible, in particular they should only be asking people to come into work if it is for work that cannot possibly be done from home and if it is work that is genuinely essential.
"That also applies and this is a point I want to stress, that applies to takeaway businesses and to non-essential shops providing a click and collect service.
"If you can provide delivery services instead, you should do that and that will reduce the need for people to leave their homes and it will help all of us to fight this virus more effectively."
In response to a question at the daily briefing, Ms Sturgeon added: "Don't take this as decisions, but construction, manufacturing, click and collect services – these kind of things. I noticed in the Republic of Ireland yesterday in their latest restrictions they've restricted click and collect and non-essential construction – that shouldn't be taken (as) an indication that we're definitely going to do that, but that's the kind of thing we need to look at if we have a concern that we're not sufficiently reducing the number of people out and about and interacting."

The UAE mesmerises the world with Emaar's spectacular New Year's Eve Gala 2019 in Downtown Dubai
January 1, 2019 By Travel Magazine
With a never-before-seen spectacle of fireworks and laser displays on the iconic Burj Khalifa, Emaar mesmerised the world with its New Year's Eve Gala in Dubai to usher in 2019. The event welcomed over a million revellers in Downtown Dubai, Emaar's flagship mega-development. A highlight was the special tribute to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE, whose birth centennial was observed in 2018 as the 'Year of Zayed'.
The show's social media campaigns reached over a billion users, complemented by Emaar's partnership with TikTok. Emaar NYE 2019 was one of the world's most-watched New Year's Eve celebrations telecast live globally and live-streamed on mydubainewyear.com. The illumination of Burj Khalifa's façade earned it two additional Guinness World Records – for the 'Largest LED-illuminated façade' and the 'Tallest LED-illuminated façade'.
Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties, said the event is a tribute from the UAE to the world, reflecting the nation's positivity and cosmopolitan outlook. "With this celebration, we are highlighting the vision of our leadership to create a new era of progress through openness and collaboration, here in Dubai and the UAE – for the world."
Following Emaar's partnership with TikTok, five lucky couples from China, India and the Middle East were flown in to Dubai in addition to 55 top influencers who promoted the event to their followers. Emaar also selected two lucky winners of their social media competition to enjoy the celebration from a helicopter. Several messages submitted by the public on Emaar's Twitter,Facebook and Instagram feeds @EmaarDubai using the hashtag #2019MakeAWish were displayed on Burj Khalifa.
The Emaar NYE 2019 show was themed 'time and progression'. Inspiring visuals celebrating the heritage of the nation kicked off the event which went on for eight minutes on Burj Khalifa's façade. Adding to the allure was the longest show to date of The Dubai Fountain. Following the countdown, in an all-out display of spellbinding pyrotechnics, the UAE, Dubai and Emaar wished the world' a 'Happy New Year' with the message relayed in Arabic, English and Chinese.
The experience can be re-watched online at mydubainewyear.com. Emaar will showcase a short version of the show from January 1 to end-March to delight visitors to Downtown Dubai.

What Happens When
By Samantha Boyette
For Molly Kennan, senior year is already an epic disaster. It feels like the whole school knows she made out with Lily at that party, and now she's accidentally outed herself as a lesbian. Her ex-best friend is trying to ruin her life, and school generally sucks. All she wants is to drown her sorrows in sweet potato fries, but she finds herself tongue-tied by the diner's new waitress, Zia.
Zia is way out of Molly's league. Older, beautiful, and definitely way more sophisticated. It's probably just wishful thinking, but Molly can't help wondering if maybe Zia is flirting with her. Despite Zia's always-there boyfriend, Molly falls hard for her, and Zia says she feels the same way. So then why doesn't Zia break up with her boyfriend, and why does she keep so many secrets?
Then there's Lily, who she can't seem to stop accidentally kissing. When your head and your heart are saying two different things, which one should you listen to?

The Girl Who Wasn't Dead
Prom was supposed to be the biggest night of senior year, but for Jenny Lewis it was the night she almost died. The night someone drugged her, loaded her in a car, and dumped her body in the river.
The next morning, her soaked prom dress was found on the riverbank. Her body was never found. People whispered that she'd killed herself or gotten drunk and stupid. People moved on, went to college, and stopped thinking about her. Months later, her ex-girlfriend and three other classmates received a text from an unknown number accusing them of her murder and claiming to have proof.
The text? It came from Jenny, not dead and ready to figure out who tried to kill her. There's going to be an impromptu reunion and no one is leaving until the would-be murderer steps forward.

Page one Jo's straight into the story and left me super curious. Molly is so relatable and I love all the drama in the book that keeps in interesting.
I absolutely love the way it's written, it's just down to earth and full of humour. It's just such a feel good book and I love that.
The power behind the book is amazing too, it's not just about lgbt characters finding love, it's about much more than that. This would be an amazing read for anyone struggling in school with their sexuality.

A great read with likeable characters and an affirming message
on Apr 28, 2019 09:04
What Happens When was a very enjoyable, light read (although with some serious themes behind it)...
While the romance plot line was enjoyable enough, the strength of the book for me was in its portrayal of the discrimination experienced by the LGBTQ characters and the effects of this. Previously content to sail under the radar, Molly and other characters come to find there is strength to be gained in joining with others. While things have certainly improved for young people in many ways in recent years, it's easy to forget that bigotry is alive and well in many settings and while Carmen's campaign seems extreme at times and her motivations hard to fathom, it's not really so far fetched.
Oh, and Molly's brother Luke is awesome, the kind of brother everyone wants!
A great read with likeable characters and an affirming message.

Onekama nursery specializes in native plants for more natural gardens

ONEKAMA -- Ornamental plants come from around the world to lay down roots in Michigan, but Matt LaMore is encouraging local gardeners to look a little closer to home when planning their garden.
LaMore, along with his wife Jennifer, recently launched Black Cap Farm in Onekama, which specializes in native flowers, bushes and trees.
While ornamental plants and highly cultivated hybrids typically dominate the trade, LaMore argues that plants originating from Michigan provide greater benefits for local gardeners.
"Natives are becoming ever more prominent," LaMore said. "Still, if you go to a run-of-the-mill garden center the vast majority of things are cultivars, non-native plants and even surprisingly some invasive plants are being sold."
Native species are already well adapted to local conditions, and thus are less likely to require additional maintenance and upkeep than foreign transplants, LaMore said. For gardeners, this means hardier plants that are easier to establish.
The diversity of Michigan flora allows for a long blooming season, regardless of soil, light and water conditions, LaMore said.
Native plants also support the local ecosystem by providing familiar habitat and sustenance for insect and bird species. As habitat loss continues to threaten local wildlife and migratory species, oasis of native foliage may become vital.
"One of my concerns … is land use in America is a lot of lawn and a lot of parking lots," LaMore said. "We build a lot of new things and every time we do that we tend to eliminate and make a new slate on the parcel. So the overall effect of that is we're decreasing our bird and our insect and other nature populations. That is a real problem because biodiversity is important for the health of the planet."
LaMore encourages landowners to dedicate a piece of their property back to nature to help mitigate the consequences of habitat loss.
"It's about providing habitat for those creatures around us that are slowly being marginalized into ever smaller pieces of nature," LaMore said.
Black Cap Farms is named after the black cap chickadee, which LaMore believes is emblematic of the delicate ecological balance which his nursery seeks to assist.
"The chickadee is a friendly, spritely bird, it is a common bird and it's one of the easiest ones to feed by hand. It is a great way to connect with nature is to know the chickadee," LaMore said, adding that studies have found that chickadee parents need 6,000 caterpillars to feed their young in the first two weeks of life so that they can fledge from the nest.
"It is a tremendous (number) of caterpillars in a short period of time," LaMore said. "The connection to be made there is that all those caterpillars have specific host plants that they lay their eggs on and that they are adapted to eat. So we have to have those host plants -- which are native plants -- in order to have the caterpillars, in order to have the chickadee food, in order to have chickadees, and it's not just chickadees."
LaMore singled out the Michigan prairie as one regional environment that has become increasingly rare.
"The prairie in America is probably the most marginalized habitat, the most in danger," LaMore said. "If you look at birds that are closest to extinction, they're grassland prairie birds even in Michigan. If you think of that prairie that is long gone, you have an opportunity to recreate a piece of that and mend a part of nature that's been destroyed."
LaMore laments the loss of this unique environment. Citing conservationist author Aldo Leopold, LaMore said, "Nobody will ever again question what 1,000 acres of silphium looks like, and no one will even think to ask that question. That is to say, it's all been destroyed, and nobody will even know it existed -- there's a sadness to that."
For those interested in learning more about native gardens, LaMore recommends reading "Bringing Nature Home" by Douglas Tallamy.
Black Cap Farm is located at 5265 Crescent Beach Road in Onekama. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday and closed on Wednesday. To learn more about Black Cap Farm visit blackcapplants.com or call (231) 398-5972.

The BEAR Necessities - with Dave the Bear
Dave the Bear was recently in Berlin and stopped by for a face to face chat about what is going on in his world. Best known for his cabaret shows in the club scene of London and beyond, Dave is a person of many talents all packed into the cutest bear package that you can see here with his sexy pics.
Dave, can you tell us how 'Dave the Bear' all got started?
While it is most people's ambition to be working in a field that they studied in and really love, right after finishing university, I was lucky to have the opportunity work professionally and tour with big budget musical productions but it started to become too repetitive for me and in the end had no soul. Singing on stage with others was a dream come true but it was the repetitiveness of performing the same program night after night for months at a time that finally made me decide to move on and try to make it on my own path.
Who is your all time singing inspiration?
I have to give this honour to Grammy Award winning singer songwriter Will Withers as my idol – with his famous bluesy and sad songs such as "Lean on Me", "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Lovely Day". The first and foremost is putting yourself out there, I completely understand that one … and admire you for that!
The first and foremost is putting yourself out there, I completely understand that one … and admire you for that !
Any other influencers?
I also have to include Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston in this group too. Half jokingly, I have to confide that troubled people with drinking problems are a major focus of inspiration for the sad but, hopefully entertaining, original songs of my own. The first and foremost is putting yourself out there, I completely understand that one … and admire you for that !
What is the story of your solo career?
I started doing a Vaudville style act with a partner in the London clubs and this was a big step in the right direction. It definitely takes a lot of energy and hard work to keep the show going on your own. With the help of a dedicated collaborator, we managed quite well for ourselves. Later, I started doing some solo gigs – it was about ten years ago now that I did my first solo Burlesque stage acts. Slowly it blossomed into a world all its own and I loved it.

This was augmented with being a Go-Go boy, performing at London gay clubs like Brute and DILF. With a lot of perseverance, in 2015 I was named the #1 male Burlesque performer in the UK and the winner at the Vienna Boylesque Festival in 2016.
I am super excited that I will also be a guest judge on the new, X-Factor type talent show called All Together Now showing on BBC One.
And what is next for you?
Going into the studio to make some new tracks for a full album is tops on my list for 2019!
With your on stage persona of Vaudville, Boylesque, Singer, et al, how do you deal with this position in reference to making a positive contribution to the queer community at large?
The first and foremost is putting yourself out there, I completely understand that one…. and admire you for that!
Do you have any kind of agenda that you are personally promoting with your performances ? Unity, Resistance, Community or whirled peas?
A message that I try to portray is that it's ok to be yourself, that is the best person you can be. I don't like to be defined as just gay or just a bear or just a singer, that is why I do so many different things. I mean I don't have the best body in the world, especially in a gay world but it hasn't stopped me making a good career as a stripper I find bodies like mine more attractive than chiselled Adonis and I know many other men and women do too.
Also with my music, singing in cabaret clubs it would be obvious and very easy for me to sing typical "cabaret" show tunes but I've tried that and it was awful because it wasn't authentic. I come alive singing blues and heartfelt soul music and it comes across on stage. I think it's good to push boundaries and challenge an audience rather than rehash what I've seen other performers do. I do well, because I do me. Staying healthy and projecting positivity I think is very important. Now, my Oscar acceptance speech is over. LOL!

Q: MySQL and PHPMyAdmin issue: locked out cant get back in I am trying to change my password with mysql, and I am not a smart man...
I have done google search after google search, and done everything I can to resolve the issue.
I am on Ubuntu 16.04, if that helps at all.
I type the command:
$ mysqladmin -u root password newpass

and I get:
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error:
'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

Any suggestions?
Also, I recently had followed some directions to add password to phpmyadmin from this page.
This is what caused me to have the issue that I am trying to resolve, if that makes sense at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
sudo service start mysql

produced:
start: unrecognized service

Tried this instead:
 service mysql start

and it started. then tested the status using:
service mysql status

Delving into the heart of the mountain: The Princess and the Goblin
Siobhan Lam '08, Undergraduate Research Assistant, Brown University
[Victorian Web Home —> Authors —> Genre, Technique, and Style —> Victorian Children's Literature]
acDonald begins The Princess and the Goblin by introducing a subterranean world inhabited by fearsome goblins. According to legend, this "strange race" may once have been men, however, they were long driven below ground by severe taxes or stricter laws, or something. Although the goblins are now no longer men, they were once so and achieved their present terrible state due to some unspecified persecution. The narrator also reminds his reader that despite appearances, these goblins may not be as inhumane as they look: "They had enough of affection left for each other to preserve them from being absolutely cruel for cruelty's sake to those that came in their way; but still they so heartily cherished the ancestral grudge against those who occupied their former possessions and especially against the descendants of the king who had caused their expulsion." (2) This last brief introduction to the goblins hardly inspires enough sympathy in the reader for us to side with these sad, horrible creatures. Our sympathies obviously lie with the inhabitants above ground and the Princess Irene, despite the fact that perhaps these goblins would not be hatching their dastardly plots if Irene's ancestors had not driven them below ground in the first place. Indeed, although we only meet Irene's King-Papa briefly, it is difficult to imagine this heroic figure astride his white steed having any dealings with the goblins.
MacDonald does not intend for his audience to like the goblins. Our failure to sympathize with the goblins is on purpose. They are ugly and sly creatures, and although they may not have, once upon a time, deserved this underground life, we have no problems hoping Curdie foils their plans and stamps hard on their unshod, tender goblin feet. However, in creating this moral ambivalence regarding the history and presence of the goblins, MacDonald challenges the tradition of the reader's passive acceptance of good and evil, or in fact any familiar category. MacDonald refuses to premise that kings will be good, that princesses will always be correct and miner boys dirty and uncouth. In The Princess and the Goblin , it is the king's men who fail to protect the princess and rather the miner boy who dashes onto the king's white charger and saves the day. In fact, MacDonald takes pains to remind his audience that princesses are not naturally good or perfect. Princess Irene is a princess because she is brave and trusts in her grandmother, but as Lootie and Curdie are well aware, "princesses have told lies as well as other people." (66)
Moreover, despite the fantastical subterranean caverns and the existence of Irene's "dear old great big grandmother" in her attic in the sky, the truly fantastical element in MacDonald's novel, and one that is also the easiest to accept, is Curdie and the Princess Irene's companionship and equality. When, if ever, have miner boys consorted with princesses? Or indeed when do princesses deign to rescue miner boys, much less promise kisses? Well, in fairy tales and fantasies of course.
MacDonald underscores the similarities between his heroine and hero throughout the novel. Princess Irene has eyes "like two bits of night sky, each with a star dissolved in the blue" (1) while Curdie has "eyes as dark as the mines in which he worked and as sparkling as the crystals in their rocks." (13) If eyes are the windows into the soul, then Princess Irene and Curdie must share similar compositions as their eyes are described as mirrors to each other. Irene explores the lofty castle corridors to her grandmother's moon-attack as Curdie delves deep into the earth to discover the goblin's dastardly plan to gain control of the kingdom. Furthermore, upon first meeting, Curdie and Irene are quickly established to be equals; Irene defies Lootie's abortive attempt to have the miner boy call her "Your Royal Highness" by arguing that "I won't be called names. I don't like them. You told me once yourself it's only rude children that call names; and I'm sure Curdie wouldn't be rude." (15) Curdie is no rude miner's boy. Indeed, our narrator hints that Curdie may have some royal blood in him — one wonders if some long ago Peter also had a role in banishing the goblins below ground. Finally, both Curdie and Irene are guided in their adventures; Irene by following her grandmother's thread and Curdie with his stout string firmly in hand. The princely courage and independence that MacDonald clearly admires and both Curdie and Irene share manifest from their unwavering faith in this means of guidance through the dark maze of goblin tunnels and the wild mountainside. Irene and Curdie may grow older as the novel progresses, but they maintain at heart some element of their respective eight and twelve year old selves that allow them to hold fast to their unwavering faith and childlike hope that there is something, battle-axe or grandmother, at the other end of the string-thread that will lead them out of the darkness and the goblin depths.
MacDonald pairs hero and heroine in other tales, for instance, The Day Boy and the Night Girl . How do Curdie and Princess Irene differ from Photogen and Nycteris? Again, it would appear that Princess Irene is superior to Curdie — she is, after all, a princess and has the ability to see her great grandmother whereas Curdie sees only the bare attic and the ray of moonlight.
With its social and moral ambivalence — the miners who labor day and night for the king's gold or the suggested reasons for the goblins existence below ground — The Princess and the Goblin yet appeals to younger readers. How does MacDonald maintain an atmosphere of wonder and the unquestionable promise of a happy ending? What is the reader to make of the triumph over the goblins in the "regular stamping fight" (75)?
Curdie's goblin rhymes echo that of nursery sing-a-longs. Why does MacDonald suggest that such basic rhymes can have such power? After all, Curdie's rhymes remain his chief protection in the underground caverns.
There are several different aspects of women presented in various characters here: Princess Irene is the innocent girl but below her outward girlishness remains her femininity — she promises a kiss to Curdie and the goblins want to carry her below ground to marry Harelip the unfortunately named goblin prince; Queen Irene displays majestic maternal goodwill from her turret, but she fails to appear unless she wants to — what does this speak to the power of mothers? Joan, Curdie's mother, on the other hand, represents the other aspect of motherhood, she must be protected and supported by son and husband. Finally, the goblin queen is the stuff of nightmares, and where the goblin men fail, her stoutly stone-shod feet resist Curdie's stomping and it is through her aegis that Curdie is imprisoned below ground. Why these divergent, even conflicting, views of women?

Researchers from Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, have offered a bold glimpse into what the robots of the future could look like. And it's nothing like C3PO, or a T-800 Terminator.

If up until recently anyone would have told you that voluntarily you would sit down with a group of strangers to discuss your innermost feelings, the odds are good that you would have laughed. Unfortunately, being diagnosed with ovarian cancer most likely stood your world on its head and you may now find yourself a member of a cancer support group and more than willing to share your innermost feelings, secrets, hopes, and fears.
1.Cancer, unlike many other diseases and ailments, has a unique grouping of emotional ballasts and physical consequences that will wreak havoc in the life of the patient and of her loved ones. At times these changes come on gradually and the patient has time to prepare for them, but other times the diagnosis is followed by a whirlwind of activity, treatments, and changes that may be hard to take in by the patient. Ovarian cancer in particular requires quick and decisive treatment to better the odds of recovery. A cancer support group will help patients prepare for the changes their lives will undergo and also help them as they are experiencing them by banding together treatment veterans and newbies.
2.Physicians have found that treating the emotional aspects of the disease are as crucial as the physical manifestations thereof, and the support group is the best way of addressing common emotional experiences and fears without the need for psychological or psychiatric intervention. Ovarian cancer patients are often referred to support groups as part of their treatment program.
3.Women in particular have a hard time complaining about physical maladies. This is due in part because of their role as being the nurturer in the family and thus it is hard for a woman to find an outlet for her own fears and frustrations. An ovarian cancer support group provides the safe, confidential and sympathetic venue where she can vent, rant, and also complain without fearing that the family is adversely impacted.
4.Cancer support groups are unique in that they pair survivors with current sufferers of the disease. Those just diagnosed or undergoing treatment have the opportunity to discuss their fears and hopes, and also get the emotional boost to keep fighting the disease. While the treating doctors may attempt to provide such a forum, they can only do it to a limited extent. Within the confines of the ovarian cancer support group, those who have gone through it offer the support to the current patient to keep fighting and persevering through chemotherapy, hair loss, physical pain, and side effects in order to emerge cured on the other end.
5.Finally, ovarian cancer patients swear by cancer support groups because they provide forums for comparing and contrasting side effects, the practical aspects of everyday life with the disease, and also the reality check when a patient needs to alert their physician of odd or serious side effects and when they are normal manifestations of treatment.

T.C. Crosser: "The Book of Arius – Act I" takes on a much larger scale than one expects
Staff — January 8, 2018
After years of composing, playing and producing indie and punk, pianist T.C. Crosser moved towards combining chamber strings and rock/pop to tell narrative stories with instrumental music. The composer has also scored music for commercials (such as Microsoft), television (such as Visionaries: Inside The Creative Mind), and performance art companies (such as Leslie Seiters Dance). His latest release, "The Book of Arius – Act I", is a four movement narrative for string quartet which explores three distinct points in T.C. Crosser life. The recording was done using a 14 mic array for the string quartet and then processed through a unique recipe of guitar amps, effects pedals, and a custom built plate reverb room. Now before you go off thinking about screaming electric guitars and banging drums, after reading rock and pop, remember this a classical ensemble, to all intents and purposes.
"The Book of Arius – Act I" is a beautiful, haunting, and somewhat melancholic recording, even when the strings swirl and jump. But I suppose that's just the lugubrious effect violins and cellos have on me, no matter how they're played. It is usually appropriate for a quartet to expand the harmonies and embellish the melodies of a musical piece, hence what would be dittos in pop music are transformed into quasi sonatas, rondos, chaconnes, and renaissance gigues in classical music. In essence, more robust and flamboyant substance.
Even if you know nothing about T.C. Crosser and the string quartet playing on these movements, after listening to the recording, it is clear that their capital strengths are versatility, sensitivity, and humility. Throughout this release, their inexhaustible flexibility, as well as their clearly attentive and humble collaborative spirit, show that this group of musicians, namely – Maria Im (Violin I), Jannina Norporth (Violin II), Kallie Ciechomski (Viola) and Caleigh Drane (Cello) represent the acme of musical professionalism.
The opening piece, "Movement I (White Sulphur Springs)", is an enjoyable listen at the surface level, with beautiful moments couched in rich and deep textures, and also provides an engaging emotional journey, if you're is so inclined.
The second piece, "Movement II (River City)" has moments of contrasting character – at times being deliberate and rhapsodic, and then having punchier contrapuntal textures. As in the first movement, the great delicacy with which the quartet approaches these contrasting pieces shines.
The opening notes in the third movement, "Movement III (Goose Creek)", showcases the warm yet balanced acoustic environment found throughout this disc. The listener gets a complementary balance of proximal sounds and warm resonance; this results in a beautiful, non-distracting sound environment that serves primarily to showcase the supreme delicacy and deep preparation of the composition.
"Movement IV (Hell's Kitchen)" is perhaps where the versatility of the quartet is most obvious. The ease and dexterity with which they execute these dramatically different characters is impressive and delightful.
At any time, throughout this recording, the quartet gives the listener the impression of coherence, which is not least attained by the consistently outstanding arrangements of the songs. The typical string quartet sound is further enhanced by the use of the effects pedals and processing which gives us a tightly hewed consonance that is singularly beautiful and intriguing. And somehow, T.C. Crosser's work takes on a much larger scale than one expects from four instruments.
