In this compelling volume in the What Everyone Needs to Know series, Paul Waldau expertly navigates the many heated debates surrounding the complex and controversial animal rights movement. Organized around a series of probing questions, this timely resource offers the most complete, even-handed survey of the animal rights movement available. The book covers the full spectrum of issues, beginning with a clear, highly instructive definition of animal rights. Waldau looks at the different concerns surrounding companion animals, wild animals, research animals, work animals, and animals used for food, provides a no-nonsense assessment of the treatment of animals, and addresses the philosophical and legal arguments that form the basis of animal rights. Along the way, readers will gain insight into the history of animal protection-as well as the political and social realities facing animals today-and become familiar with a range of hot-button topics, from animal cognition and autonomy, to attempts to balance animal cruelty versus utility. Chronicled here are many key figures and organizations responsible for moving the animal rights movement forward, as well as legislation and public policy that have been carried out around the world in the name of animal rights and animal protection. The final chapter of this indispensable volume looks ahead to the future of animal rights, and delivers an animal protection mandate for citizens, scientists, governments, and other stakeholders. With its multidisciplinary, non-ideological focus and all-inclusive coverage, Animal Rights represents the definitive survey of the animal rights movement-one that will engage every reader and student of animal rights, animal law, and environmental ethics.Less
Hydrofracking: What Everyone Needs to Know®
Alex Prud'homme
Constantly in the news and the subject of much public debate, fracking, as it is known for short, is one of the most promising yet controversial methods of extracting natural gas and oil. ... More
Constantly in the news and the subject of much public debate, fracking, as it is known for short, is one of the most promising yet controversial methods of extracting natural gas and oil. Today, 90 percent of natural gas wells use fracking. Though highly effective, the process-which fractures rock with pressurized fluid-has been criticized for polluting land, air, and water, and endangering human health. A timely addition to Oxford's What Everyone Needs to Know series, Hydrofracking tackles this contentious topic, exploring both sides of the debate and providing a clear guide to the science underlying the technique. In concise question-and-answer format, Alex Prud'homme cuts through the maze of opinions and rhetoric to uncover key points, from the economic and political benefits of fracking to the health dangers and negative effects on the environment. Prud'homme offers clear answers to a range of fundamental questions, including: What is fracking fluid? How does it impact water supplies? Who regulates the industry? How much recoverable natural gas exists in the U.S.? What new innovations are on the horizon? Supporters as diverse as President Obama and the conservative billionaire T. Boone Pickens have promoted natural gas as a clean, "21st-century" fuel that will reduce global warming, create jobs, and provide tax revenues, but concerns remain, with environmental activists like Bill McKibben and others leading protests to put an end to fracking as a means of obtaining alternative energy. Prud'homme considers ways to improve methods in the short-term, while also exploring the possibility of transitioning to more sustainable resources-wind, solar, tidal, and perhaps nuclear power-for the long term. Written for general readers, Hydrofracking clearly explains both the complex science of fracking and the equally complex political and economic issues that surround it, giving readers all the information they need to understand what will no doubt remain a contentious issue for years to come.Less

Over the past twenty years considerable public attention has been focused on the decline of marine fisheries, the sustainability of world fish production, and the impacts of fishing on marine ecosystems. Many have voiced their concerns about marine conservation, as well as the sustainable and ethical consumption of fish. But are fisheries in danger of collapse? Will we soon need to find ways to replace this food system? Should we be worried that we could be fishing certain species to extinction? Can commercial fishing be carried out in a sustainable way? While overblown prognoses concerning the dire state of fisheries are plentiful, clear scientific explanations of the basic issues surrounding overfishing are less so - and there remains great confusion about the actual amount of overfishing and its ecological impact. Overfishing: What Everyone Needs to Know will provide a balanced explanation of the broad issues associated with overfishing. Guiding readers through the scientific, political, economic, and ethical issues associated with harvesting fish from the ocean, it will provide answers to questions about which fisheries are sustainably managed and which are not. Ray and Ulrike Hilborn address topics including historical overfishing, high seas fisheries, recreational fisheries, illegal fishing, climate and fisheries, trawling, economic and biological overfishing, and marine protected areas. In order to illustrate the effects of each of these issues, they will incorporate case studies of different species of fish. Overall, the authors present a hopeful view of the future of fisheries. Most of the world's fisheries are not overfished, and many once overfished stocks are now rebuilding. In fact, we can learn from the management failures and successes to ensure that fisheries are sustainable and contribute to national wealth and food security. Concise and clear, this book presents a compelling "big picture " of the state of oceans and the solutions to ending overfishing.Less

CA04 is at 7mm (it has the best 7mm noise diode for the 7mm frequency of 43532 MHz).
The tied array for IF1 is CA04 only, and for IF2 is CA01+CA02 (the 31m baseline). Both tied arrays are linear polarisation.
The reference antenna is CA04, on W112.
IF1 is being recorded onto the local disk ATNF V002B on cavsi1. IF2 is being recorded onto /data2 on the caxcube.
The 3mm opacity is varying reasonably rapidly at 14 UTC, with the 1-2 amplitude going up and down by more than 100%. The phase on the 1-2 baseline is varying by maybe 50 degrees or so over 10 minutes, but it is varying around a reasonably constant average value rather than decreasing/increasing. 1-3 and 2-3 are varying much too rapidly to be useful so we leave CA03 out of the tied array.
The seeing has come down to about 250 microns. The recent pointing corrections were quite sizable (10 arcsecs on many antennas), and this may be due to an error on my part, since it looks like I had accidentally used the global pointing solution for the first part of the experiment (I've fixed this error now). Phase at 3mm on 3C273 still looks pretty ratty, so I won't be adding any more antennas to the tied array just yet. Did a pcal at 15:12:37 (after changing the calibration reference antenna to CA02, but this should not affect where the tied array is formed (still CA04)).
Only some small pointing corrections during the last pointing scan. The seeing has deteriorated markedly, now at over 2000 microns since there is another rain band coming through. The tied array gain has needed to get way lower since the atmospheric temperature is way higher now.
Weather not great, seeing got better about 10 mins ago but is now back up around 1000 microns; radar suggests we still have some rain around.
It looks like the opacity has improved quite a bit; it is more stable at least. The seeing is only around 400 microns, but on 3C273 the phases are still varying by almost 200 degrees in a minute so we're still not going to add CA03 to the tied array.
Getting a bit lighter outside, and it looks like total cloud cover. Seeing is 500 microns.
Full daylight now and the seeing is up over 700 microns. Last pointing was just done - the array will soon go into elevations below 30 degrees.
End of schedule and the rain is reasonably heavy, seeing is up over 1000 microns.


10:03 <gbee> heh, looks like that was anticipated anyway "// In other words, one day all of this container stuff // will be deleted and replaced by MythUI."
11:43 <stoth> Assuming I wanted to port the mythtv frontend to a new embedded device, where would be the best place to start reading? Is their a specific website I should be reading for embedded 'gotcha's' ?
11:58 <danielk22> stoth: mythfrontend is a memory hungry app... it might make more sense to implement a UPnP device that could talk to the backend about scheduling recordings and the other more advanced stuff.
12:00 <stoth> danielk22: What's the min memory footprint?
12:04 <danielk22> stoth: Not sure, on my system the virtual memory footprint is 534 Megs when playing a standard definition video. I'm using G.A.N.T. as the theme. HD will of course use a bit more memory. + add to that video memory for an embedded device..
12:16 <danielk22> has anyone tested the channel-scan branch with DVB yet?
13:13 <danielk22> laga: but how much swap? An embedded device will most like not have swap..
14:34 <DerDracle> Is there a freenode channel for discussing digital media codecs and details?
14:37 <stoth> danielk22 & laga: thanks.
14:46 <Chutt> gbee, httpcomms.cpp/.h doesn't work?
15:20 <danielk22> chutt: you need to flip the "#if 0" in pespacket.cpp@303 to debug memory leaks in mpeg stream handling code.
15:23 <danielk22> is this from the guys whose recording like 60 channels at once?
15:29 <danielk22> I don't think the pes_allocator itself is leaking, but 152MB is really big. I've never seen it that big. Unfortunately valgrind can't debug the pes_allocator, but we can turn it off and possibly see the source of the leak.
15:30 <danielk22> OR there is a huge EIT cache going on..
15:31 <danielk22> That might be possible with something like a DVB-S with all the EIT data on one channel.
15:34 <danielk22> 3 weeks of data for 500 channels... I could see it..
15:35 <Chutt> like, say, 10MB.
15:40 <danielk22> whatever the underlying cause it needs to be fixed.
16:24 <danielk22> Ubuntu has some kind of bug hunting program. end users are given a few bugs each week to triage. I thought it was a good idea when I learned about it. But I don't know how it actually works, or how effective it is.
16:25 <danielk22> this is a volunteer program not an automatic bug thing.
16:58 <danielk22> hmm should mythplugins-qt4 and mythtv-qt4 be deleted now?


Sean, a Pittsburgh native, has spent his adult life involved in a healthy lifestyle. While attending Northwood University on a golf scholarship he began to study sports performance training, which later became his passion. Early on as a fitness trainer, Sean understood that what you put into your body was just as important as how you physically trained your body. Achieving personal fitness goals and maintaining an active lifestyle demanded proper nutrition. His extensive research on the glycemic index convinced him that most commercially sold supplements were cutting corners and misleading the public with health claims.

Paradox have offered up a new dev diary, showing off the new features of Crusader Kings 2: Horse Lords.
The big thing about the Horse Lords is that they don't really "do" holdings like cities, temples, and castles. They just have a population… somewhere. To raise armies, the nomads just pull it from their manpower pool. However, prestige is important, because prestigious children are the ones who inherit, so you might want to send your favourite son out to work as a mercenary. You'll also have to worry about other clans and negotiate with them, possibly by swearing blood oaths or maybe starting a blood feud. You can raid or destroy holdings to get yourself some resources or create a better area for your population, too.
The Silk Road has been added, facilitating trade between Europe and China. All nations along the way can build trade posts as if they were merchant republics… but if holdings along the road gets occupied, trade gets re-routed along the other path, which lets you screw with people further down the Silk Road.
Also, you can force other nations to become tributaries by declaring that as a focus of your war. If you win, they become a tributary of yours.
In terms of free stuff, even for those who don't buy the expansion: lots of bug fixes, more provinces in the Tarim Basin and western Mongolia, the ability to build forts in either hostile territory or your territory, changes to the way characters lead regiments, lots of "convenience" features to improve the UI, and – inevitably – loads more.
You can see the dev diary below for a better idea of what's included in the free patch, and what's coming in the Horse Lords expansion.
Crusader Kings 2: Horse Lords is due out on 14 July.

Meet Princess Mary's first love (it's not Frederick).
Valentina Todoroska
Everything you've ever wanted to know about her very first serious relationship…
We all know the fairytale story. A then Mary Donaldson waltzed into a Sydney pub during the 2000 Olympics. She was swept up off her feet by a handsome man who simply introduced himself as "Fred", having no idea he was in fact a Prince.
Princess Mary and Prince Frederick.
But what about her story before she became royalty? Before the Tasmanian born stunner met Prince Frederick, 45, on that fateful night, Princess Mary, 42, was actually dating fellow university student, Brent Annells, 43.
And soon you'll be learning all about her first love, as Woman's Day reports that their seven year relationship plays a key part in the upcoming television-movie, Mary: The Making Of A Princess.
Princess Mary's former boyfriend, Brent Annells.
The pair separated not long after Mary's mother Henrietta passed away in 1997 but they continue to remain close.
Although Brent chose not to attend Princess Mary's wedding (he was invited), just weeks after she tied the knot to Prince Frederick, Brent had some kind words to share.
"She's very genuine, smart, honest and down-to-earth and I think the way she has been embraced by the Danish royal family is a clear reflection of that," Brent said.
Brent Annells.
Mary on the other hand, didn't have many words to share about her once love, telling the Danish papers before her wedding that she "had a boyfriend for seven years but we drifted apart." Ouch.
Brent is now married to Bec Newman, who he shares two children with. They are of a similar ages to Princess Mary's children, HRH Prince Christian, eight, HRH Princess Isabella, seven, and three-year-old twins HRH Prince Vincent and HRH Princess Josephine.

The Chinese government is getting nervous about the numbers and is insisting, top-down, on obtaining economic growth of 6.5% to 7% this year, one way or the other.
China's cabinet has sent inspectors fanning out to provinces across the country to "keep economic growth within a reasonable range and ensure the main objectives and tasks of this year's economic and social development will be completed," according to Xinhua news agency, cited by Reuters. Because, apparently not all of China was playing along….
Some regions and government departments are not coordinating their policies well and some officials are lazy in their work, Xinhua said.
These inspectors, in addition to keeping up the pressure on growth, are also supposed to make sure that major policy measures are implemented along with "supply-side structural reforms" – cutting, for example, the massive and destructive overcapacity in the steel and coal sectors and the power generation sector. And these inspectors also supposed to support investment projects and innovations.
The government must have taking a good look at the rail freight data and is getting desperate, and it's going to force official growth to happen, because the rail freight data, one of the key gauges of the goods producing economy, is dismal and contradicts the official growth story.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said Monday that rail freight volume in July dropped 5.8% from a year ago, to 263 million tons of cargo. For the first seven months, rail freight volume plunged 7.3% year-over-year.
But 2015 was already a terrible year.
Note how freight volume plateaued in 2011, 2012, and 2013 before entering the decline phase. With 2015 freight volume down nearly to the level of 2007, freight volume for 2016 is shaping up to be considerably lower still – and has a chance of setting a decade low.
That doesn't speak of growth in the goods-producing sector, or even of stagnation. That speaks of an ongoing sharp multi-year decline with hues of depression in certain areas of the goods-producing economy.
While some areas of the goods-producing economy are still growing, such as the production of autos and automotive components, with heavily incentivized auto sales likely to hit another record this year, other areas are in a steep decline, exports are weak, the construction sector is wobbling….
These losses in the goods-producing economy are now to be overcome by gains in the service sector as part of the great transition, and the service sector is growing, but it's going to have to hustle to get even close. So maybe it's just easier for all these local officials who submit economic growth numbers to the central government to do a little fudging.

Ann Arbor City Council supports new tax to catch up on local road repairs

A bumpy section of Pontiac Trail in Ann Arbor as it looked before the start of a $5.1 million reconstruction project earlier this year. About $2.4 million for additional resurfacing work throughout the city could come in 2015 from a countywide road tax.
(Ryan Stanton | The Ann Arbor News)

The Ann Arbor City Council went on record Monday night in support of a new countywide tax to help catch up on local road repairs.
By a 10-1 vote, the council approved a resolution urging the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners to levy a 0.5-mill tax in December.
The one-year tax would cost the owner of a $200,000 home about $50. It would raise an estimated $7.25 million for road repairs throughout the county in 2015, and $2.4 million would go to Ann Arbor.
Under state law, specifically Act 283 of 1909, a local road millage can be levied by the county board without voter approval.
The county board created a road funding subcommittee earlier this year to advise the board on the matter. The committee recently recommended a 0.5-mill tax.
That recommendation is expected to be presented to the county board Wednesday night. The board could take action as early as Oct. 1.
Council Member Christopher Taylor, D-3rd Ward, said the roads in Ann Arbor and throughout all of Michigan are a disgrace.
"This is primarily, I believe, a state responsibility," he said. "The county, however, does have the opportunity — and we do not — to levy on its own authority a millage of county residents to be directed to support much-needed local road maintenance."
Taylor said local residents demand better roads, and he hopes the county will give careful consideration to the request. He noted it's expected the county board will hold a public hearing before voting on whether to impose the tax.
The only council member to vote against the resolution was Jane Lumm, an independent from the 2nd Ward.
Lumm argued voters should have a direct say on whether a countywide road tax should be levied, and that decision was being taken away from them.
She said everyone agrees the roads are a mess and the state has dropped the ball by underfunding roads to the tune of about $1 billion to $2 billion annually.
Council Member Sabra Briere, D-1st Ward, noted it's unusual for the council to address the county board or talk about new taxes without a vote of the people.
She pointed out the state law that allows the county board to levy a road tax without a vote of the people stipulates that it is a one-year levy. In order for it to be levied for multiple years, it would require a vote of the county board each year.
"You can come back the next year and do it again, but each year you do it, you must specify the roads that are going to be maintained and the cost of that maintenance," she said. "So it's very specific and very directed. It's not a perpetual millage."
Council Member Stephen Kunselman, D-3rd Ward, said he was excited to support a new road tax.
"It makes perfect sense to have a one-year millage to address road construction needs," he said. "And if this pans out and the city can spend it to show progress, I'm more than willing to support it again next year, because it's the only way we're going to catch up on the backlog of the horrible conditions of our roads."
Council Member Sumi Kailasapathy, D-1st Ward, argued the city already was sitting on "lots of money" that it could spend on road repairs. She said it's her understanding the street millage fund had a balance of more than $16 million.
The city's audit for the 2013-14 fiscal year, which just ended June 30, hasn't been released yet. But the city's audit for the 2012-13 fiscal year showed the street millage fund cash reserves dropped by $7 million — from $25 million to $18 million — compared to a decrease of $4.2 million the year before.
Those drops are attributed to planned use of reserves for ramped-up road construction efforts, using funds that were set aside for the Stadium bridges project but became available for road repairs after state and federal grant money came through.
Tom Crawford, the city's chief financial officer, has explained the city tries to keep a minimum of $9 million or so — equal to about one year's worth of funds from the millage — in the street millage fund cash reserves. The reason the audit shows more than that, he said, is because the construction season is very active in June when the books close and money that's committed to be spent is not yet spent.
Craig Hupy, the city's public services administrator, said the city would look at doing a mix of surface treatments on city streets using the extra $2.4 million. He said the city would do the bulk of the work using hired contractors.
Mayor John Hieftje said it's important to recognize that most road funding for cities in Michigan comes from the state.
"But what has happened is the state's funding has not kept up with reality, and so Michigan finds itself No. 50 out of the states in road funding," he said. "So it is no wonder that roads across our state are in bad shape."
Council Member Sally Hart Petersen, D-2nd Ward, said there's too much blame on the state for local road funding issues. She said it was time the local community stepped up and took care of itself, and she guessed most residents would be happy about that.
Council Member Jack Eaton, D-4th Ward, said he had mixed feelings about supporting the tax and he shared the concern about not giving voters a direct say. But he said he also knows residents really want the city to catch up on fixing roads.

I was 5 once, too!
November 27, 2019 November 27, 2019 ~ Randy Blazak	~ 2 Comments
Cozy and I were sitting at home last week, watching the impeachment hearings. I had to wait until age 9 for my first live impeachment proceedings. (I was glued to the Watergate hearings.) Cozy's getting a jumpstart on her political awakening. She stopped and said, "I don't like Donald Trump because he wants to cut down all the trees." I don't know if that's true, but it captures the feeling that Trump is a one-man apocalypse for her generation. I wondered if she will remember any of this when she's having a beer with her friends in college, reflecting on when America went off the rails.
Some people don't have a lot of memories from before the age of 5. Others, perhaps due to intense psychotherapy, remember the formative years with crystal clarity. For me, age three was when my little brother came home from the hospital. I can see my mother carrying him past the birch trees in front of our house. Four was nursery school and a cubby whole of my very own. The rest is a swirl of real and imagined. I assume Cozy might not remember her early days, but perhaps they have all been logged somewhere in her subconscious. Meeting Minnie Mouse on her third birthday may appear in dreams 30 years from now, but probably will never be a clear memory. All the experiences we've been giving her are meant to shape her personality, not necessarily give her fond memories. That's why God invented Instagram. #cozyblazak
But 5 is different. These moments will last. Not all of them, but enough. She will remember many of her kindergarten friends, and being dragged to my meetings, and art projects with her mom, and trips to visit family in Mexico. I can't find a single picture of me at 5, but there's a cloud full of thousands of pictures of her if she ever needs her memory jogged.
Five was a big year for me. So much of it seems clear as day. For Halloween, I had a Secret Squirrel costume with a plastic mask that scratched my face. My best friend was a neighbor named Cheryl. I'd call her to play by doing a Tarzan yell over the back fence, and she'd climb over like soldier scaling a wall in boot camp. Our kindergarten class had an incubator and we anxiously waited for chicken eggs to hatch. My mom told me today that one of my classmates was a bully who delighted in slamming kids' hands in the door. I've blocked that one out. But I do remember her buying my corrective shoes at a Stride Rite store (next to Mayfair's) that had ducks in the window. Candy button strips and a friend with a pet turtle. A new Blue Bird school bus and realizing I could swallow Spaghetti-O's without chewing.
I was 5 in 1969, so there were my first flirts with sixties pop culture, most memorable was the first episode of Sesame Street (November 11, 1969). I still have the album (and can sing "Rubber Duckie"). I cut out Archies records from the back of Honeycomb cereal boxes. I knew most of the words to "Spinning Wheel" by Blood, Sweat & Tears, and got a few of the jokes on Laugh-In ("Very interesting.") And, of course, I stared at the moon, hoping to see Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong bouncing on it.
I also processed some of the turmoil at the end of the decade. Our white middle class parents made fun of hippies and warned of the "dangerous jungle" in the city. That gave me plenty to rebel against later. But it was all lodged in my brain. The implicit bias I now hope to purge was being formed inside the mind of that kid 50 years ago.
I don't know what Cozy will carry with her from her vast experiences in 2019. We've worked hard to block messages of inequity, taking her to sold-out women's soccer matches and exposing her to her wonderful family south of the border. She is as at home with the music of John Coltrane as she is the soundtrack of Frozen 2. She might not log every single trip to the ice cream shop or cool outfit, but hopefully she'll remember how much she was loved in all those moments. And she can save the Trump thing for her therapist.
Matterhorn not withstanding, we have a 5-year old

I know, I know, it's the biggest cliche in the world. Time accelerates when you have a kid. But seriously, didn't we just bring this baby home from the hospital? I am now writing this while a 5-year old takes a bath with a posh bath-bomb and a tub full of mermaid dolls.
Cozy turned 5 on August 17 but has made August her prolonged "birthday month," which means lots of "I can eat this because" and "I can watch this because." It's OK with me, because you remember 5 and she should remember this wonderful summer wonderfully.
We decided to return to Disneyland for Birthday #5. Number 3 had been a blast thanks to a friend who works at Disney Studios making sure Cozy got the Birthday Girl treatment, which included an epic meeting with Minnie Mouse. Minnie was quite thrilled to shake hands with Social Media Sensation Cozy Valentina.
We had to put a bit more effort into the fifth anniversary of her dramatic entry into the world in 2014. We kept the California plans a secret. Our flight to LA had a layover in Las Vegas, so, while having breakfast inside the grand pyramid of the Luxor, we told her that Vegas wasn't the final stop on her birthday trip. A few hours later we landed in Burbank and caught a Lyft to Walt Disney Animation Studios and she figured out what was going on when we pulled up to Mickey Mouse's giant wizard hat.
I have a friend who is an animator with Disney and his amazing tour included a peak at a scene he was working on for Frozen 2. Cozy was blown away (as were we). After a night in an old school Burbank motel, it was off for two days at Disneyland (and two nights in the retro-fabulous Disneyland hotel). She was back in her realm. Cozy still loved riding Dumbo but she is starting to appreciate rollercoasters. Well, almost.
I was at the Anaheim park when I was 5 and really wanted to ride the Matterhorn bobsled rollercoaster. My parents must have thought it would be too scary for 1969 Randy. That didn't stop 2019 me from dragging my kid, half asleep, onto the wild ride, late on our second night in the park. Blasting through the dark, Cozy not sitting with either of us, and Yetis screaming at bobsleds as they whizzed by, was a recipe for trauma. Poor Cozy was shaking and sobbing after the ride. Later, she made me call my mother and apologize for not trusting her judgement with regard to 5-year-olds and The Matterhorn. There's going to be Yeti-related therapy down the road.
The Disney Surprise worked well as a rite-of-passage into fivedom. Next week she starts kindergarten and I can leave it all in the capable manos of Señor Siam. My tenure as a stay-at-home dad officially comes to close. It seems to have slipped by as if a dream that now I'm just waking up from. Will I remember any of it? Thank Groot for this blog.
This person that is now our five-year-old daughter is a fully formed sentient being. Not that I would, but I could drop her off at the local Lowes Hardware (What, you're not boycotting Home Depot?) for a few hours, and find her running the place when I returned. She's got crazy charisma and can work a room, from front to back. Is that an innate characteristic or did she pick that up from her vaguely politically astute parents? Whatever, I can't wait to vote for her.
The end of her birthday month has been illuminating. Mom is off exploring Oaxaca, Mexico, so Cozy and I are getting some end-of-summer bonding done. She's got ideas about God, the value of chutes in Chutes & Ladders, and when it's permissible to gorge on Mac & Cheese (when one parent is out of the country). I'm endlessly entertained and in awe that we had anything to do with this fascinating creature that exists in this physical plane as "our kid." I can't wait for the next five years to fly by. But I'm taking 10-year-old Cozy back on to the Matterhorn.

VIP NATION is an empty, mass produced rip off for Fans.
Im not sure what's up with those VIP NATION creatives who dream up what's included in your VIP package when attending a concert. Having been a consumer of many of these VIP Packages…….the folks who put the program together need to be a little bit more creative when it comes to the "goodies" they usually throw in a cheap bag….coupled with the poorly catered food and "drink tickets." All of a sudden the whole experience seems as watered down as a chocolatey Yoo-hoo.
The straw that broke the camel's back was the VIP gift provided for Roger Water's Us + Them tour. A huge box….that won't fit anywhere except the attic or storage. What an environmental waste. To boot, a commemorative Us + Them coffee mug, and even "Made in America." In addition to the mug, a commemorative ticket and lanyard sheik rapped in KINKOS plastic laminate. The 5 prints were all cool expect for the stark "US+Them" tour poster.
Why not REALLY print only a couple hundred commemorative tour shirts? Low hanging fruit.
Get rid of the lanyard and cheap commemorative ticket lameness.
Some other goodie bag suggestions could be a key chain; quality water bottle; special band patches to sew on clothes; decent back pack; USB thumb drives with special content.

Pheromone Sniff Experiment
OK. So now we're going to deal with vaginal pheromones. In this experiment, they had four women wear tampons for 23 consecutive menstrual cycles. And then they would give them to the experiment or every two days who would then put them in a KFC type bucket. And then, of course, they have to be sniffed in the bucket. So they had men and women who were doing the sniffing.
So they were the subjects and they had to rate whatever it was they were sniffing based on intensity and pleasantness. As a result, there were changes in the menstrual cycle. And the most important point here is in fact ovulation when the pheromones were rated as less intense and more pleasant by both men and women.
Now, that's kind of important that happened during ovulation because that is when women can become pregnant. You don't want any kind of pheromones that are going to cause people to avoid one another. And you know, you don't want any kind of pheromones that are going to cause people to avoid one another. Instead, quite the opposite.
So, OK, so remember that because we're going to be looking at ovulation now off and on. And it's vaginal pheromones that enhance female attractiveness to males. So we're looking at three classes of pheromones gathered over three different times.So they had menstrual pheromones, regulatory pheromone, pre-menstrual pheromones, and a very important control group; water.
In this case, only men were doing the sniffing and it didn't make a whole lot of sense to continue doing this with women. So a while they were sniffing, they were also given a bunch of photographs of women to rate based on the degree of attractiveness. Now the sample of photographs had been pre-rated by other males not participating in the sniffing part of this study.
This is because the experimenters wanting to have a range of photos that were at least prejudged by other men as being very attractive, moderately attractive, and not terribly attractive at all. While they're doing all that, they're also donating saliva because you can get samples of the male sex hormone, testosterone from saliva. So that's how this pheromone study was set up. If they were sniffing water, no pheromones, they pretty much matched what the men that pre-rated the photographs were shown. Learn more about pheromone experiments.
Pheromones and Ovulation
Here's the amazing finding. Those that were, were sniffing pheromones, rated the women higher in all cases. And in this case, it didn't matter where the pheromones came from.
They could've been ovulatory, menstrual, or pre-menstrual. It didn't matter. The amazing thing is to look at the gains of the women who were otherwise judged as not very attractive.
Attractive looking apparently suddenly become much more attractive, um, via pheromone detection. And again, it didn't matter where in the menstrual cycle the pheromones came from. Remember, they were also donating saliva. so let's look at those samples. Learn more at https://jail6letter.wordpress.com
When they were sniffing pheromones from the menstrual time, the regulatory time, or pre-menstrual,notice what happens to testosterone during ovulation. And what doesn't happen to it at other points of the menstrual cycle, it goes way, way up. And again, that is the male sex hormone. So that's a rather interesting finding in relation to ovulation.

The restaurant is owned and operated by a young couple in a quiet part of California's Wine Country. They specialize in bringing extremely fresh, locally sourced ingredients into their kitchen and onto their tables. This project was a re-brand in desperate need of help.
Because the restaurant has a rustic, country feel and menu, but is ran by a younger couple who cater to a wide range of patrons, it was important to place a modernized twist on the cozy cafe setting. This was achieved through a clean and minimal approach that still has a nostalgic cafe essence. The original logo that was not quite working displayed a painting of an egret standing in the nearby estuary. The new logo is designed to be an evolution of that idea, utilizing an origami egret—symbolizing that the same meticulous, hand-crafted attention to detail that goes into the art of origami, goes into the food the restaurant prepares.


Ingredients for cooking Tuna Pancakes This is a really quick and tasty snack which can be made from the contents of the store cupboard.
First make the batter. Put 4 ounces of plain flour in a food processor, add a pinch of salt and a knob of butter, and then break an egg on the top. Pour in 5 fluid ounces of milk. Process for twenty seconds; you should get a smooth thick paste. Pour in another 5 fluid ounces of milk, then process for another thirty seconds. You should have a smooth batter. Leave for a few minutes before cooking.
Open and drain a small tin of tuna (about 150 grams drained weight). Tip the fish into a bowl and add a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise. Grind a little black pepper over the top and then stir well.
Process the batter one more time then pour into a jug. This makes it easier to pour into the frying pan.
Heat a teaspoon of oil in a large heavy-based frying pan, tipping the pan so that the oil entirely covers the surface. When the oil is really hot, pour enough batter into the pan to entirely cover the surface in a thin layer, tipping the pan again to make sure the batter is nicely spread out. Sprinkle half of the sweencorn over the pancake.
Cook the pancake until it will slide about the pan easily, then flip it over. Try not to get it stuck to the ceiling! Sprinkle an ounce of cheese over the cooked surface - it will melt while the other side of the pancake is cooked.
Slide the cooked pancake onto a plate. Spoon half of the tuna and mayo mix over the surface, fold in half and serve to your companion. Then repeat the whole process again to cook your own.
There will probably be enough batter left over for a sweet pancake to follow. Just make the pancake without sweetcorn or cheese, and serve simply with a sprinkling of brown sugar and the juice of a wedge of lemon.


Welcome to our section dedicated to flags for hotels and camping sites. In this section you can buy flags for hotels, bed&breakfast and campsites.
In places such as hotel buildings, national flags are fundamental items which contribute in a unique way to the definition of the location's identity and as well as to make it more recognizable. Furthermore, flags convey a sense of hospitality and openness to international guests.
Flags are not showed in a random way but there are specific rules that must be respected. The national flag is placed centrally among the others, and, in the case the flag is doubled, it is placed on the two sides. There's no difference in treatment between the national flag and the European one.
National flags are showed also by camping sites and campers. Flags of all countries of the world are exposed by tourist resorts and their guests to express their nationality and distinguish themselves. As in the case of hotels, national flags in camping sites contribute to convey a sense of openness and internationality.
Another category of flags that characterizes camping places, bungalow parks and campers is the represented by personalized flags. You can have the logo of your camping printed, or a distinctive image, created by yourself. On flagsonline.it you can create your customized shipowner's flag. To place your order, you can directly go to Personalized Flags and select the desired options. You can choose online every detail of your product: dimensions, format (horizontal, vertical,, triangular, etc.), material (nautical polyester, light polyester, etc.) , quantity. Upload the image in the bar, using a vector format. Creating a personalized flag is quick and easy. Prices vary depending on the chosen characteristics.


An entertaining volume on the origins and subsequent development of the front porch; although the style is often flippant, the information is interesting.
For example, the front porch was not a feature of domestic architecture in England, the source of many of the first European immigrants to N. America, but it was a feature of homes in Africa. Caribbean indigenous peoples also used wrap-around porches and built their homes on stilts. The author traces the development of porches in the Caribbean to these two groups, and traces the diffusion of the style to N. America to the contacts between the Caribbean and N. America, especially the adoption of the style in Carolina. A second influence was that of the adoption of Roman porticoes in Europe - also known as galleries in N. America. The blending of these two influences led to the widespread adoption of the architectural feature, which went through eras of greater or lesser popularity. At the time the book was written, in 2001, the porch was regaining some popularity vs. the deck, but the mania for the porch had peaked and declined with the advent of air-conditioning, TV, years before - the decline started early in the 20th century but then accelerated after the Second World War, when ranch, Colonial, and Cape Cod style houses became standard in suburbia - none of which include front porches (although many may have rear porches, or patios, and some may have enclosed/screened in side porches).
The idea of porches as a means of promoting neighborhood cohesiveness is discussed; whether having the feature can change residents' experience of a neighborhood. I think, 14 years on, with the unending focus on our "navels" - that is our smartphones - the answer is that porches alone cannot promote neighborliness and its benefits. Time and technology have advanced. Unfortunately, the replacement to the front porch, or earlier still, the gathering around the cracker barrel at the general store to discuss current events, in the age of social media isn't neighborly or supportive at all, may be quite the opposite of a benefit, since it invariably leads to snark or abuse. This sort of interaction would have been quite unlikely IRL - either on a porch or at the general store. Anonymously commenting, although it is a form of free speech and so as such I support it even if it is snarky, nasty, or otherwise un-constructive, is similar to a conversation that might be held at a bar after a few drinks, when social constraints begin to crumble and if a person has an axe to grind, then the nastiness will come out. The comment fields of articles give to people anonymously commenting the "freedom" to remove their social constraints or masks and say things they would never say in real life - that's the "benefit" of our modern age, that's the replacement of the front porch or the general store. Although not every conversation of course ends up as a battle of snark, social media, and the ability to comment endlessly and anonymously has made it even less likely that people will return to the in contrast "much less exciting" front porch, unfortunately. That is why you see almost every person glued to their smart phone, day and night; it's much more convenient than paying visits, phoning, or simply socializing in a public space or even on a porch. It potentially is the reverse of "socializing" in the sense of furthering cohesiveness and discussion. Luckily, the snark/nastiness is just limited to online discussions usually among anonymous individuals - a game, but consider it in contrast to chatting amiably on a porch.

Did PewDiePie Really Try to Hack YouTube to Beat T Series?
ICYMI: As the PewDiePie vs T Series battle rages on we take a look back at the stunts pulled, including the time PewDiePie may have tried to hack YouTube Watch Time in a bid to hold on to his crown.
As the PewDiePie vs T Series battle continues we're taking a look back at all the high points and learnings from the race for the Channel with the most subscribers on YouTube. In this post, we ask if PewDiePie really tried to hack YouTube in a bid to hold on to his crown?
In November 2018, PewDiePie published a video that automatically played at twice the speed as normal. This naturally intrigued us as it brought Watch Time and playback speed into focus. Let's talk about the theory first. You can change playback speed on any YouTube video by going to settings, clicking on speed, and then changing it to a quarter speed or double speed. With some very rudimentary math, that means that you could watch a ten minute video at double speed, and it actually only takes you five minutes to watch. And a lot of people do that, including myself. If I am very short on time, and it's a very conversational video, then I'll watch it at double speed, just so I can get through it quicker and watch more content with the time that I have.
That's the viewer's perspective on playback, but what about the video creator? Is there something to gain from this? It's generally accepted that watch time is the most important metric on YouTube. So does slowing down or indeed speeding up the playback of your videos affect watch times positively or negatively.
In this example, what PewDiePie has done is slow his video down in his video editor, so that when you play back at normal speed it's just excruciating. This forces the viewer to change the playback speed to double speed so that it looks and sounds normal. But in YouTube land what actually counts, the 21 minutes of the actual video length, or the ten and a half minutes of real world time that it took you to watch the video? I'm glad you asked because we have the answer.
Earlier in 2018, we uploaded an 18 minute video and set it to private so nobody else could watch it. Then we watched the entire video at double speed, so that we could check the analytics on it. That single view, watching an 18 minute video at double speed resulted in a watch time of nine minutes, exactly half the length of the video itself. What it also gave us, rather weirdly, was audience retention of exactly 50 percent, which is a little confusing.
The next thing we tested was the complete opposite. We uploaded a one minute video to YouTube, set it to private, and watched it at a quarter speed. That meant that in real life it took us four minutes to watch this one minute video. And what did the analytics say? Yep, you guessed it. Four minutes of watch time and rather impressively, four hundred percent audience retention from a single view. Just to clarify that, You Tube watch time is calculated from your physical presence in the real world watching the video. If, and I hasten to underline that, if PewDiePie was trying to game the YouTube system, he got it all backwards.
The simplest way of looking at this, is if you double the playback speed, you have the watch time. Let's say for argument's sake that five million people watched this PewDiePie video, and they watched a full duration of the video at 20 minutes. That would give you, in normal circumstances, one hundred million minutes of watch time. But if it's played at double speed, that halves the physical amount of time the video is watched, and it brings us down to fifty million minutes of watch time. That's still quite a lot of cost.
If you were going to try and hack the YouTube watch time analytics, which of course we do not recommend, you would have to do this. There you have it folks. If our testing was accurate and the analytics haven't changed since then, this video will have had a detrimental effect on PewDiePie's watch time. Which begs the question, why did the currently most subscribed to You Tube channel on the planet do this? I don't know, it's PewDiePie.
Since PewDiePie is, once again at time of writing, ahead of T Series in terms of subscribers, we ask where do all these subscribers even come from?

Q: Uncaught ReferenceError: function is not defined; trying to build weather site I am trying to build a small site that will use openweathermap's api.  The small site will have a zipcode number box and a submit button for searching by zipcode and it will also have a city text box and a submit button for searching by city. Here is what I have so far; I will submit the code and I will also send you to my jsfiddle .
EDIT: The specific...error I am having is - "Uncaught ReferenceError: zipcode is not defined"
EDIT EDIT:  Multiple issues, but the biggest problem was case sensitivity which the answer solved below.
In case the api is relevant, it can be found here .
<body>
    Zipcode: <input type="number" id="myZip" min="11111" max="99999" value="00000"/>
    <input type="button" value="Search by Zipcode" onclick="getWeatherbyZip()"/>
    <br>
    City: <input type="text" id="myCity" value="Enter city"/>
    <input type="button" value="Search by City" onclick="getWeatherByCity()"/>

    <script>
        event.preventDefault();
        function getWeatherbyZip()
        {
            var zipCode = getZip();
            var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
            req.open("GET", "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?zip="+zipcode+",us&appid=fa7d80c48643dfadde2cced1b1be6ca1"+key, false);
            req.send(null);
            console.log(JSON.parse(req.responseText));
        }
        function getZip()
        {
            return document.getElementById("myZip").value;
        }

        function getWeatherByCity()
        {
            var city = getCity();
            var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
            req.open("GET", "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q="+city+",us&appid=fa7d80c48643dfadde2cced1b1be6ca1"+key, false);
            req.send(null);
            console.log(JSON.parse(req.responseText));
        }
        function getCity()
        {
            return document.getElementById("myCity").value;
        }

    </script>
</body>

A: Javascript is case sensitive, you declared a mixed case var zipCode, but used an all lower case variable in the url string zipcode.
Try:
function getWeatherbyZip()
        {
            var zipCode = getZip();
            var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
            req.open("GET", "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?zip="+zipCode+",us&appid=fa7d80c48643dfadde2cced1b1be6ca1"+key, false);
            req.send(null);
            console.log(JSON.parse(req.responseText));
        }

A: First of all, the placement of event.preventDefault(); in your code makes no sense. And also, there is no need to add the keyword function when invoking functions. You should have
var zipCode = getZip();
var city = getCity();

Instead of
var zip = function getZip();
var city = function getCity();

Is Skyrmionics the Future of Data Storage? | Technology Networks Is Skyrmionics the Future of Data Storage?
Is Skyrmionics the Future of Data Storage?
Scientists at the Universities of Birmingham, Bristol and Colorado Boulder have moved a step closer to developing the next generation of data storage and processing devices, using an emerging science called skyrmionics.
Skyrmionics focuses on harnessing the properties of nanometer-sized structures in magnetic films called skyrmions. These spin on the surface of the magnet like tiny vortices, and scientists believe they could be used to store much denser quantities of data than is currently possible using existing magnetic data storage techniques on which modern computers currently rely.
The shape of these skyrmion structures means data encoded in them could also be transferred using much less power than is currently achievable.
But arranging these new structures in a way that makes them capable of storing and transferring data has proved a challenge.
In a new study, published in Nature Physics, the research team of UK-based theorists and US-based experimentalists has demonstrated a way of combining multiple skyrmions together in structures they call 'skyrmion bags', which allows a far greater packing of information in skyrmion systems.
The team have modelled their technique in magnetic devices using computer simulations, and successfully tested it in experiments involving liquid crystals.
"It's particularly exciting to see this technology at work in liquid crystal since it opens up new possibilities for advances in areas such as display screens, sensors or even solar cells," adds co-lead author, Dr David Foster, at the University of Bristol.
Skyrmions were originally proposed as a theoretical model of fundamental particles by Professor Tony Skyrme of the University of Birmingham in the 1960s. This research, funded by the Leverhulme Trust and the US Department of Energy, demonstrates how purely theoretical ideas in physics can lead to innovative new technologies.
In February, the University of Birmingham secured funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for a new multimillion pound Centre for Doctoral Training in Topological Design at the University of Birmingham. The centre is expected to train students, in collaboration with industrial partners, to deliver breakthroughs in the shape-related structures leading to new technologies such as skyrmionics.

Denver DA vows to make "bold changes" after not charging officer who fatally shot William DeBose
DA Beth McCann said she's committed to making some changes, but she offered no specifics.
Demonstrators protest the police killing of William DeBose and other victims of police brutality Friday, June 12, 2020, at a peaceful state Capitol rally and march up Colfax int Capitol Hill.

During an online public meeting Wednesday night, Denver District Attorney Beth McCann explained her decision not to charge the police officer who shot and killed William DeBose last month.
McCann shared details about her investigation and answered questions. The public meeting came nearly a week after the DA's office first announced it would not file charges against Denver police corporal Ethan Antonson.
DeBose's family has disputed the events that led to his death. The shooting has sparked protests in Denver, amid nationwide calls for racial justice and protests against police brutality.
During the meeting, McCann reiterated that Antonson was justified in the shooting based on self-defense laws in Colorado. She added that Antonson's record shows no involvement in previous shootings.
"In this particular case, you had an officer who had not drawn his gun, who was not anticipating that there would be a need to use force," McCann said. "Because Mr. DeBose took off running, the officer had to chase him to get any information necessary based on the conduct he was aware of."
Antonson shot four times at DeBose, who was hit twice, McCann said. An autopsy report showed DeBose died of a gunshot wound to the chest that injured both lungs. The other bullet hit Debose's thigh.
The shooting happened during a traffic stop on the night of May 1 after officers observed DeBose speeding on I-25. But it took weeks for the District Attorney's office to complete its investigation. McCann said one reason for the delay was because Sierra Martinez-Griego, DeBose's wife, didn't give police a statement until June 11.
Martinez-Griego told police she saw a gun inside a black pouch on the floor of the couple's car earlier in the day but that DeBose didn't take it with him when he left the car after being stopped. Police said they found the open black pouch, which contained diabetic equipment, and a gun on the ground at the scene after the shooting.
Denver's Assistant District Attorney Zach McCabe said the gun was legally purchased in January but not by DeBose. The person who bought the gun told the DA's office that it was stolen after a house party. The gun's owner also told investigators they didn't report the theft because they didn't trust law enforcement. McCabe said firmly that there's no evidence DeBose stole the gun.
During Wednesday's meeting, McCann also spoke broadly to her office's efforts to address issues around racial justice. She said she supports the Black Lives Matter movement and that she's worked to reduce mass incarceration since she was sworn into office, particularly for Black and brown people.
"I look forward to the opportunity to work with members of the community, members of my staff, members of the police department as well as other government agencies in order to really look very closely at our system and make some changes, bold changes, to restore trust and even build trust from the beginning," she said. "I am committed to working to make that better."
McCann said her office has held mandatory trainings about microaggressions and implicit bias and that professors have helped facilitate discussions about social justice. She also meets with advisory councils monthly, which include a diverse range of community members.

Q: merge sub-array if other key-value pair match I have this simple array, which I want to merge key b value if key a in the whole array matches.
const array = [
  {a: 1, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Bar']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Baz']},
  {a: 2, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 3, b: ['Foo']},
]

into
const array = [
  {a: 1, b: ['Foo','Bar','Baz']},
  {a: 2, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 3, b: ['Foo']},
]

is there a way to do it? Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT 1 : What I am lacking here is the logic to grab all similar key a

A: Use reduce to iterate over the array of objects to create an object where the keys match the object's a value, adding the various b values to their arrays. Then use Object.values to create a new array.

const arr = [
  {a: 1, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Bar']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Baz']},
  {a: 2, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 3, b: ['Foo']},
];

// For each iteration pass in the accumulator
// and the current object
const out = arr.reduce((acc, c) => {

  // Assign the value of `a` to `key`
  const key = c.a;

  // If the key doesn't exist on the accumulator
  // set a new object
  acc[key] = acc[key] || { a: key, b: [] };

  // And then push the first element of `b`
  // into the object's array
  acc[key].b.push(c.b[0]);

  // Return the accumulator
  return acc;

}, {});

// And then finally get the Object.values from
// your returned object to make an array
console.log(Object.values(out));

A: You can use reduce for that
First you create an object with the value of a as key and you group all b with the same a
Then you simply remove the object keys using Object.values

const array = [
  {a: 1, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Bar']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Baz']},
  {a: 2, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 3, b: ['Foo']},
]

const grouped =  Object.values(array.reduce(
  (res, {a, b}) => {
    const existing = res[a] || {b: []}
    return {
      ...res,
      [a]: {a, b: [...existing.b, ...b]}
    }
  }, {}
))

console.log(grouped)

A: Using reduce you can merge the values of b and create a new array.

const array = [
  {a: 1, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Bar']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Baz']},
  {a: 2, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 3, b: ['Foo']},
];

const result = array.reduce((t, { a, b }, _, arr) => {
  if (t.some(v => v.a === a))
    return t; // if a is already handled, skip
  return [
    ...t,
    {
      a,
      b: arr
        .filter(v => v.a === a) // filter out items with different "a" value
        .reduce((t, v) => [...t, ...v.b], []), // merge the values of "b"
    }
  ];
}, []);

console.log(result);

A: Here I use Set to make sure no duplicate values. And finally map it back to an array.

const array = [
  {a: 1, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Bar']},
  {a: 1, b: ['Baz']},
  {a: 2, b: ['Foo']},
  {a: 3, b: ['Foo']},
]

const o = array.reduce((acc, obj) => {
  if(!(acc[obj?.a] instanceof Set))
    acc[obj.a] = new Set()
  acc[obj.a].add(obj.b)
  return acc
}, {})

const result = Object.entries(o).map(([a, b]) => ({a, b: Array.from(b) }))

console.log(result)

A: Using JavaScript Map

const array = [
  { a: 1, b: ["Foo"] },
  { a: 1, b: ["Bar"] },
  { a: 1, b: ["Baz"] },
  { a: 2, b: ["Foo"] },
  { a: 3, b: ["Foo"] },
];

const grouped = Array.from(
  array
    .reduce((m, o) => {
      if (m.has(o.a)) {
        const currObj = m.get(o.a);
        m.set(o.a, { ...currObj, b: [...currObj.b, ...o.b] });
      } else {
        m.set(o.a, o);
      }
      return m;
    }, new Map())
    .values()
);

console.log(grouped);


Tim doesn't see what Trish could be or might be. He doesn't see what the future may hold for her or what she might become someday. Instead, he sees the incredible woman that she is right now, the compassionate spirit that she has always been, and the wise being that she is growing into. He sees the greatness in her and has always seen the greatness in her from the first moment they met. He calls it out, pulls it forward, and allows her to live in it when it would be hidden and nobody could see it, particularly herself. He's loves her dual nature - the wonderful mix of traditional lady that would settle in the suburbs with two carseats strapped into a Volvo while living in and embodying the city as a glamorous cosmopolitan woman. She's a straight-up family girl with a fierce urban streak.And all of this Tim sees and knows and desperately loves. And I would think that for an utterly gorgeous woman like Trish, to be seen by someone so humble and generous, to be known so deeply and graciously, and still to be considered so unbelievably beautiful on the inside and the out is the greatest gift that love can give.Jeff and I became instant friends with Tim and Trish a few years ago in Cabo San Lucas during Josh and Kate's destination wedding in Mexico. Since then, we've been watching their relationship grow and couldn't WAIT for the day that they would finally tie the knot. These San Francisco natives chose to host their wedding at Long Meadow Ranch Winery in the heart of Napa, and this day was everything a Napa wedding should be - sweet, romantic, golden, and memorable!We began the day with the girls getting ready at a beautiful home in St. Helena.
The lovely lady herself... Trish is a downright beauty!
I love the lace detailing and accent belt on Trish's fitted gown.
Lavender was a theme of the day and the girls wore flowing summer dresses paired with peony bouquets.
Riiight?? Trish is such a gorgeous woman and it was impossible to take anything but stunning photos of her!
I am in love with Tim's three piece summer suit paired with a blue-grey tie and a lavender boutonniere. The boys looked SHARP.
Such a sweet moment! I think we all cried!
Tim and Trish's pup couldn't be at the wedding in person, but everyone made sure he was there in spirit! So cute!
How picture perfect is this winery? Jeff and I were just so excited!!


I've received some interest from people who attended the microradio workshop at the Allied Media Conference in June about taking the show on the road, as it were – demonstrating tactical media technology in hands-on style. I envision such events, being outside a conference atmosphere, also drawing heavily on Tetsuo Kogawa's "radio party" model (without the soldering).
If this sounds like a great way to spend an evening, drop a line and details can be discussed. All that would be required in each location is a flat patch of ground, a power outlet, and some floor space to crash on. For the moment, such travels would have to be confined to the Midwest, given time and circumstance; Detroit is a go, Chicago and Indianapolis are possibles, and anywhere in-between is game. Spreading tactical media love by example isn't just effective, it's a hell of a lot of fun.
Truthful Translators: Where Are They Now?
It's been about nine months since this site moved to a properly-beefy server. One of the advantages of the move was regaining access to site stats. Having a somewhat consistent record to work with now, there's interesting info to share.
To those who may pooh-pooh the ability to run an incredibly successful public service on no budget, look no further than the A-Infos Radio Project. For more than seven years Radio4All has provided a repository for an amazing amount of aural information and charged its users nothing for the service. Since the mainstream arrival of the anti-corporate globalization movement the service has found itself under increasing demand, which now amounts to ~30,000 users per month.
Over the years Radio4All's also weathered an amazing amount of crises, including emergency storage upgrades and bandwidth increases. Bandwidth alone now costs some $500 per month, and now its hosting provider wants those payments tendered quarterly. According to Radio4All co-founder and co-maintainer Shawn Ewald, "right now, our current balance will only cover this month's bill." There may be lots of sites out there offering similar services now, but none were developed in such bottom-up fashion and none have attracted the amount and quality of content as Radio4All.
A "radio comic book" called A Popular Guide to Building a Community FM Broadcast Station is the first release under Can of Worms Publishing, a new FRB venture. Some sample pages suggest a real potential to demystify the workings of radio; a Spanish-language version is also available. T.J. Enrile is the project's main author.
An interesting development on Capitol Hill seems to be stymieing the advancement of legislation to expand the LPFM service. Advocates have been working closely with congresswoman Louise Slaughter (D-NY) to craft a bill in the House of Representatives that would jibe with Senator John McCain's (R-AZ) Local Community Radio Act. The bill hasn't been introduced yet because it needs demonstrable support from GOP representatives to be taken seriously, and no Republicans will co-sponsor the bill, although the ongoing grassroots recruitment effort is impressive.
On the legal side of things, the FCC has extended the comment/reply comment period on its current LPFM rulemaking for two weeks, making the new deadlines August 22 for comments and September 6 for reply comments. The extension comes at the request of the Station Resource Group, a consortium of pubcasters who will soon be going on their annual retreat and want to use part of their time together to write collective comments.
Intelligence from the scene indicates that Berkeley Liberation Radio has not returned to the air full-time. There are BLR hit-and-run-style broadcasts taking place until a permanent home can be found.
However, in the spirit of "crush one and two take its place," sporadic broadcasts from a West Oakland Radio on 103.3 have been heard, because the Slave Revolt cannot be stopped.


The Oklahoma City Thunder did not have Russell Westbrook, but the Miami Heat did have 37-year-old Dwyane Wade, and he played like he was 27 in his final appearance as an NBA player in Oklahoma City, as the Heat beat the Thunder 116-107 on Monday night at Chesapeake Arena.
Wade, who will retire at the end of the season, had 25 points and along with Goran Dragic, who had 26 points, the Heat overcame a 13-0 Thunder start to dominate the rest of the game.
Miami answered with a 21-2 run to lead 27-25 after the first quarter, and it was a 33-8 run spanning the first two quarters, leading 58-55 at halftime.
The Heat built the lead to 15 in the third quarter and 19 in the fourth before winning by nine.
The Thunder had 19 turnovers and shot just 44 percent from the field, and just 27 percent from three-point range.
Paul George led OKC with 31 points and Jerami Grant scored a career high 27 points, including several spectacular dunks.
Dennis Schroder started in place of Westbrook at point guard and had 20 points, but had five turnovers, as did George.
Westbrook missed the game serving a one game suspension for getting 16 technical fouls this season.
Former Edmond Santa Fe standout Josh Richardson had 9 points and hit a three-pointer to give the Heat their biggest lead of 19 in the fourth quarter.
The Thunder fall to 42-29 on the season, now tied for fifth with San Antonio in the Western Conference standings.
OKC finishes their three-game homestand Wednesday night when they host Toronto at 8:30 pm.
Former Thunder player Nick Collison will have his #4 jersey retired that night.


Considered one of by far the most common electrical wiring questions is on how to wire a swap. While making use of switches in the home is very simple, wiring one may not be that uncomplicated for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. There are different kinds of switches, but for this instance, let us say you will be putting in a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly frequent change (as well as the most basic).
You will find 3 hues of wires inside a typical single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and link them about the terminal screws - a person on prime and the other on the bottom screw with the switch. The white wire serves for a resource of uninterrupted electricity and it is ordinarily related to some mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the green wire for the ground screw of your switch.
These measures would generally be sufficient to make an average change work without having a difficulty. However, for those who usually are not self-assured that you just can accomplish the activity appropriately and properly you greater allow the professionals get it done as a substitute. Right after all, there's a rationale why this activity is probably the most popular electrical wiring inquiries asked by many people.
For many motive, how you can wire a ceiling fan is usually one among the most popular electrical wiring queries. To simplify this task, you may use just one change for a single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it's just a subject of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan on the black wire in the switch.
