Adriane Carr makes Vancouver city council history
Green party candidate squeaks onto council with last poll counted
By Sandra Thomas, Staff writer November 19, 2011 11:50 PM
"A historical breakthrough."
That's how the Green Party's Adriane Carr described her win to the Courier Saturday night after a nail biter of an evening that saw the candidate waffle between 10th and 11th place for the 10th seat on Vancouver city council until the last poll had closed.
Carr, deputy leader of the federal Green Party, told the Courier her win was the result of her hard work and that of her team members, who celebrated her win with tears and cheers Saturday night. The small crowd gathered in the Dominion Building ran the gamut from jubilation to despair to jubilation as Carr's numbers poured in. And it came down to the last poll before Carr was announced as winning the 10th seat on council after a long, emotionally fraught evening.
This win for Carr was pivotal. In 2000, Carr was elected leader of the Green Party of B.C., which she co-founded and led in the early 1980s. Carr became the first Green Party leader in Canada to participate in televised Leader's debates and in 2001 led the party to its best ever electoral results. But her failed attempts in previous elections are numerous.
Carr's previous (unsuccessful) election history include two bids in Vancouver Point Grey in 1983, a run for a school board seat in Vancouver in 1984, two attempts in Powell River-Sunshine Coast in 2001 and 2005, a byelection in Surrey-Panorama Ridge in 2004 and two federal elections in Vancouver-Centre in 2008 and 2011. Carr's closest bid for office was the one in Powell River-Sunshine Coast in 2001 when she placed 33 votes behind second place finisher Gordon Wilson of the NDP.
It wasn't all good news for the Greens Saturday night. At about 9:30 p.m., Stuart Mackinnon, the Green Party incumbent for park board told the Courier, "I'm toast," after polls clearly showed him falling further behind what looked at 9:45 p.m. like another Vision Vancouver majority. Mackinnon told the Courier he's proud of the work he did in his three-year term in keeping Vision's "feet to the fire."
"And especially around community flower gardens and keeping washrooms on the agenda," said Mackinnon. "What I most regret is not being able to stop Vision from imposing fees for preschoolers."
With the exception of Mackinnon, the Green Party's election success in Vancouver has been varied. Roslyn Cassells won a park board seat as a Green Party member in 1999, but was later expelled from the party. Returning Vision Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer was initially elected to school board in 2002 as a Green Party member.
Green Party school board candidate Louise Boutin also clearly didn't stand a chance as early results showed her trailing the pack of candidates.
Carr told the Courier she was proud to have run this campaign with Mackinnon and Boutin at her side.
"It was Stuart who inspired me to run," said Carr.
Mackinnon also had some final words.
"They thought I was trouble at the park board? Just wait until Adriane starts on council," he said with a laugh.

Thank you Vancouver for allowing me three incredible years of service
With all the polls closed a result of 44,761 votes wasn't enough for re-election. I have had three wonderful years as a Park Board commissioner and have no regrets. I stood up for what I believed and did the good work I thought needed doing. My congratulations to the winners and my thanks for those who ran and were not successful.
I will miss the service to the public, but I won't miss the partisan shots. I hope the new Board will be more tolerant and more willing to listen to other viewpoints, though I somehow doubt it. Politics has become a very nasty business. I won't miss that. I wish the new Board great success and hope that they live up to their oath of office to preserve, protect and promote parks and recreation in Vancouver.
The campaign is all but over. Just the voting and counting to do tomorrow. Whatever the outcome, I feel I have been very lucky and greatly honoured to have been able to serve the people of Vancouver for the past three years. It is now up to the electorate if I will continue for another three.
Serving is never easy; you truly cannot make all of the people happy all of the time. The 'slings and arrows' are hard but more than made up by the wonderful people who have crossed my path. Being able to help people navigate the bureaucracy, bringing meaningful change to the system, and bringing new idea to the fore has made whatever sacrifice necessary well worth it.
The greatest gift you can give me in return is to get out and vote. Yes, I would like your vote, but more importantly I want you to exercise your democratic right. It only takes about 20 minutes. The best legacy any of us can leave is to have made a difference. By voting you can make a difference.
Kind words & Endorsements
From: VanRamblings:
Stuart Mackinnon, Green: In the face of an almost constant attack from the Vision majority on the Park Board, Stuart consistently acquitted himself with aplomb, dedicating himself always to the public interest, and the interests of the parks system in Vancouver. Stuart didn't always vote the way I wanted him to, but at least he was able to provide a logical rationale for why he cast a vote the way he did. In some sense, Stuart MacKinnon was the star on the last Park Board, advocating for the public interest, engaged, informed, and very much deserving of your vote in 2011.
From: Michael Geller
1. Stuart Mackinnon-Green Party I met Stuart during the last election, and while I don't know him really well, and certainly don't always agree with his positions, I think he's the most decent and dedicated person I know running for public office. He has a challenge, since he hasn't raised much money, and the Greens have been somewhat shunned by Vision. However, I would like to think that people who know him will support him, and his name recognition will help him get elected. Moreover, running for the Park Board under the Green banner seems a natural, doesn't it?
From: Alex Tsakumis:
On Saturday, save a vote for Stuart Mackinnon–he loves this city and understands the need for REASONABLE means to deal with our environmental issues. And I agree.
He's a stand up guy, who will do this city proud for the coming term–as he did last term.
Please re-elect Stuart Mackinnon for Park Board.
From: Vancouver Courier:
Another incumbent to consider is lone Green Stuart Mackinnon, who has navigated the ideological divide on the board while acting as a voice of reason.
From: the Mainlander:
2. Stuart Mackinnon – Vancouver Green Party
Over the past three years, Stuart has had the confidence and political will to stand up to dominant voices on Parks Board. When developer funded parties control every elected City authority, the ability to voice opposition is key. Stuart stands in opposition of the privatization of Vancouver parks, the expansion of the Vancouver Aquarium, or any other business taking up more park space. We believe Stuart will continue to stand up against the privatization of Vancouver Parks, which, as budgets at higher levels of government are cut, could become the most important Parks Board issue. As a caveat, we disagree with Stuart's stance on and attitude towards gentrification.
From Frances Bula:
Those who want to express their opposition to Vision's handling of park-board finances could consider voting for the Green Party's Stuart Mackinnon

Cost to be a candidate? $100; Cost to run campaign? $1500; Joy of working for the public? Priceless. On Nov. 19 re-elect Stuart Mackinnon

Green Commissioner Mackinnon to Seek 'Salmon-Safe Certification' for All Vancouver Parks
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 16 NOVEMBER, 2011
(Vancouver), Green Party of Vancouver Park Board incumbent Stuart Mackinnon will seek 'Salmon Safe certification' for all Vancouver Parks. Salmon-Safe offers a series of peer-reviewed certification programs linking land management practices with the protection of agricultural and urban watersheds.
"Keeping our parks and natural spaces safe for all wildlife is important. Making sure we aren't harming the environment means more than just rhetoric," said Commissioner Stuart Mackinnon. "We want to make sure our city is really doing what it says it is," Mackinnon continued.
Salmon-Safe certification begins with an assessment of management issues including irrigation efficiency, stormwater management, pesticide reduction, conservation of native biodiversity, and streamside and wetlands area management. System-wide evaluation of municipal or other public park systems is backed by rigorous assessment of individual sites to evaluate whether management is consistent with best management practices for avoiding harm to stream ecosystems.
"Every park in the city of Portland is now certified. If we truly are going to be the greenest city in the world by 2020 we better start proving it," said Mackinnon. For more information on Salmon-Safe certification go to: salmonsafe.org
To volunteer or for more information on the Green Party's campaign, please visit vangreens.ca or call 604-689-9233.
On November 19, add some Green to your vote.

Murmuration
Here is a little treat for everybody who stops by. I've never seen anything quite like this. Simply amazing. Enjoy.
Use it or lose it: Conspicuous in their absence
I attended the final parks all-candidates meeting today at Douglas Park Community Centre. There were about 25 people in the audience, which for this campaign was a good turn out. Sad. At Britannia there were 11 candidates and 24 people in the audience; at Hastings it was 9 candidates and 14 in the audience; and Coal Harbour I think there were 12 people sitting in the chairs--which is a vast improvement on the week before when only one person showed up for a school board candidates debate.
There is something fundamentally wrong with our electoral process when the public is so disengaged that they stay away in droves for meeting after meeting. Perhaps parks and sewers and traffic lights don't capture the imagination, but they are what we pay our taxes for and I would think people would want to know who makes the decisions to spend the money. It doesn't help when the media takes little notice of the campaign or candidates. My press releases are routinely ignored by the major press and only occasionally picked up by the smaller outlets. If the media won't report then the citizenry doesn't know.
Some think that on-line voting will make a difference. I think this is just feeding into the apathy and lethargy. If only 30% get out to vote given all the opportunities, and less than 1% come to find out who the candidates are, then I doubt voting from your armchair will make much difference.
In Australia they have upwards of 95% voter participation. This is because voting is compulsory, and there are fines for not exercising your democratic right. I think maybe they have it right. We can't take our rights for granted. If we don't participate we all lose. I don't think it is too much to ask for a citizen to take half an hour out their day to cast their vote. Voting is one of the most important tasks a citizens has to do. If you don't vote, you are letting someone else decide for you. As the kids like to say "use it or lose it".
Can't wait to vote? Advance Polls are open.
Although Vancouver's official voting day is Saturday November 19, you can vote early at the Advance Polls. All polling stations are wheelchair accessible.

Park crime riles Vancouver neighbourhood residents
By Sandra Thomas, Staff writer Vancouver Courier
Some Champlain Heights residents say neglect of their neighbourhood's parks and trails by the park board is leading to increased crime.
Standing next to a grove of trees within Sparwood Park on Tuesday, Champlain Heights residents James Hampton and Rick Evans pointed to the heavy underbrush obscuring the view through the woods. The men say the natural cover allows partiers to drink and do drugs without being spotted by police. The small park, which links to the nearby larger Captain Cook Park via a trail, is located off Arlington Street near East 54th Avenue in Champlain Heights.
"You can watch the dial-a-dopers pull up in their cars and go in and out of the park," said Hampton, who's lived directly across from Sparwood Park for the past 10 years.
"There's all sorts of people hanging around now," said Evans. "This summer a guy got killed right across the road and there's isolated fires being lit all the time."
The residents point to the murder of Harpreet "Happy" Sandhu July 25 as evidence of increased violence in the community. Sandhu was shot and killed across the street from the park in the 6900-block of Whithorn.
The men say the neighbourhood is becoming the victim of what's commonly known as broken windows syndrome, through which physical neglect of an area attracts abuse such as graffiti. During a tour of the nearby Red Alder Walk and Birch Trail, Evans points out what he calls ongoing neglect by the park board, including broken picnic tables, blackberry bushes growing across park benches and branches either fallen or cut and left to rot among the trees. "Last October I counted 17 lights out along this pathway," Evans said. "Then a lady was attacked here after she got off the bus."
He added he and his wife found a stolen motorcycle on fire in the bush off one of the trails this past summer, but when they called 911 from the spot, police couldn't find them.
"It's just lucky it wasn't as dry in here as it was last summer or these houses could have been damaged too," said Evans, gesturing to a row of nearby townhouses. "All of these branches need to be cleared out of here. You would never see this neglect west of Main Street."
Hampton agrees the tree branches and brush should be cleared out to allow visibility in the parks and on pathways and trails. The men say parks staff told them there is no money in the budget for that kind of maintenance.
The men were joined on the tour by Green Party park board commissioner Stuart Mackinnon, who lives nearby. While Mackinnon defended parks staff, calling them "hard working," he acknowledged more needs to be done in maintaining parks. The poor maintenance of Vancouver parks has been a common complaint from residents across the city this past year.
"I have great pride in our employees," said Mackinnon, who is running for a second term on park board. "But there have been so many cuts they don't have the time to do the great job they used to."
VPD Const. Lindsey Houghton told the Courier there has been no recorded spike in crime in Champlain Heights.
Evans predicted that response from police. "We've stopped calling," said Evans. "It never did any good because even the police can't find these crime scenes."

Green Commissioner Mackinnon Challenges Candidates To Rescind Recreation Fees For Preschoolers
Green Party of Vancouver Park Board incumbent Stuart Mackinnon is challenging
all other candidates to rescind recreational fees for preschoolers introduced into the fee schedule two years ago. In an effort to make up budgetary shortfalls due to underfunding by city council, the Vision Vancouver dominated Park Board lowered the fee paying age from 6 years to 3 in November 2010.
"Charging preschoolers to use swimming pools and other recreational facilities is just plain wrong," said Commissioner Stuart Mackinnon. "We want to instill a lifelong love of fitness and health from the youngest age. We want to encourage parents to bring their kids to the community centres regardless of income," Mackinnon continued.
Prior to 2010, children under 6 did not pay recreational fees.
"Vision Vancouver now wants to introduce free family days at their convenience – not when parents need them but when politicians think they can gain from it," said Mackinnon, "I want candidates from all parties to make a commitment to eliminate fees for preschoolers and set the fee paying age back at 6 years."

Unfortunately, those are both known data errors. The day 21 dip (#glitch21) shows up in a lot of the quarter 2.3 data. And, the day 16.5 dip is part of an much longer pattern that shows up in all of the quarter 2 data taken by mod.out 2.3 (#fp16).
Hm, yes, it looks not bad. I actually did not look closer at the data, but was more referring to his mentioning of "very common occurrence". But the #glitch21 is usually only a few pixels long (probably only the pixels at 119.44-119.47 in this case).
Known bad data in Q2.3 : at 21.14-21.17 and 25.02 (among others), especially the day 21 (#glitch21) feature really can be confused with a transit.

AUDUBON, NJ, UNITED STATES, November 30, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — "HNN Presents" four new DVD & VOD releases available on December 1st, Deadly Virtues, Meat, Anatomy of Monsters, and A Young Man with High Potential, from Bayview Entertainment.
We believe in horror. This is the genesis of a new era in how people consume entertainment and we are leading the charge to a revolution. As we stand at the forefront of the film industries rebirth, it's our mission to establish the horror genre as the epicenter of the "at home" video experience.
If you have a completed film and would like to submit it for consideration, please contact Michael Joy at joyhorror@msn.com
Deadly Virtues
Over the course of a weekend, a hypnotic home invader explores and exploits the relationship of a suburban, middle class couple. His brutal torture of the husband and seduction of the wife uncovers an uncomfortable truth about their marriage and ultimately acts as a catalyst for extreme liberation.
This surreal erotic thriller is set in a flesh-filled and violence-prone butcher shop. A large, lustful butcher, used to living out his sexual fantasies in the shop, becomes interested in Roxy, his young female apprentice. The girl, documenting everything with a video camera, enthusiastically gets involved with him. But when the butcher is murdered and a police inspector, who looks exactly like the dead butcher, investigates the crime, the story takes on a dreamlike quality. A visually explicit, beguiling tale – think Peter Greenaway's The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, meets Gaspar Noé's Carne by way of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Delicatessen. In Dutch with English subtitles.
Anatomy of Monsters
Andrew seems ordinary as he prepares for an evening out. He carefully shaves, styles his hair, and selects the perfect outfit. As the hour grows late, he decides to make the final preparations by examining his tools for the night: duct tape, rubber gloves and a large hunting knife. Andrew plans to haunt a bar to ensnare an unsuspecting woman but finds that this is more difficult then it appears. He is starting to lose hope of finding someone when someone finds him… Sarah notices Andrew as she is sitting alone in the back of the bar. She strikes up a conversation with him. Last call arrives and Sarah suggests that they get a motel room. What unfolds is a diabolical game of cat and mouse, and a soul bearing confession of love and death.
A Young Man with High Potential
This disturbing psychological thriller follows a reclusive young man's desperate desire for sex and human contact. Piet (Adam Ild Rohweder) is a brilliant grad student but also painfully shy and socially inept. His lonely and sexually frustrated existence changes when he is forced to partner on a school project with the pretty and outgoing Klara (Paulina Galazka). As they spend time together, Piet misinterprets her friendly personality and awkwardly professes his love to her. When Klara rejects his advance, Piet retreats into himself, becoming more obsessed with his ''love'' until one night when he drugs Klara in a rage. What follows is a very long and horrifying aftermath that sends the man down a dark and despicable path. A disquieting tale reminiscent of the works of Lars von Trier and Michael Haneke.

Help Save Endangered Red-Legged Frogs: Marin County - SAVE THE FROGS!
Please join SAVE THE FROGS! in San Rafael, California on Thursday April 16th, 2015 and speak up on behalf of endangered California Red-Legged Frogs, our official state amphibian! The City of San Francisco has applied for a permit to dredge and drain the Sharp Park Wetlands. Their goal is to create dry land for a publicly-funded, money-losing golf course. Our goal is to stop them! The City's draining activities kill the Red-Legged Frogs as well as the endangered San Francisco Garter Snakes.
On April 16th, the California Coastal Commission will meet to determine whether they should grant the City a permit to drain the Sharp Park Wetlands. The Commission welcomes public comments, so it is up to you to make your voice heard, lest the Commission decide to side with the status quo of environmental destruction. This is our best chance to stop the draining and save our state amphibian.
SAVE THE FROGS! will be joined by Wild Equity Institute, National Parks Conservation Association, the Sierra Club and other groups. We will brief you on some simple statements you can make in front of the Commission that will provide huge benefit for the frogs and snakes. This is our best opportunity to stop this misguided project and we need your attendance to help these amazing amphibians.
WHERE: The Marin Civic Center, 3501 Civic Center Drive, Suite 329, San Rafael, CA 94903 in the Marin County Board of Supervisor's meeting room.
WHO: We want every frog lover and environmentalist to attend. Please gather your friends and help us reach our goal of 100 people speaking up for the frogs and the planet.
This Saturday, April 4th, from 1:00pm to 3:00 join Wild Equity Institute to search for two of the most imperiled vertebrate species on the San Francisco peninsula: the California Red-legged Frog and the San Francisco Garter Snake. This will be a leisurely walk to enjoy the restoration work being conducted at Mori Point and to learn about the bold steps being taken to save the frogs and the snakes from the brink of extinction. This event is rain or shine. Meet at the Mori Point Entrance Gate, at the intersection of Bradford Way and Mori Point Road, Pacifica, CA, 94044.
Thank you for your support and see you on April 16th!

Neil's Blog
I have now been sculpting for more than 30 years – since 1987 – and have been privileged to work with foundries such as Burleighfield; Morris Singer; Pangolin; Castle and Talos.
Also with famous Sculpture enlargers or 'agrandisseurs' as they are known in France.
Robert and Olivier Haligon in Paris and Richard Clarke in England.
My hand-eye skills come from over 40 years experience in reconstructive dental surgery where mistakes can never be made.
With a work of art one can usually make corrections but not so when one is operating on a patient!
In the 1970's, having initially been a collector for many years, I started buying French works from Bruton Gallery in Somerset
I also collected a number of French 19th Century Animalier works by artists such as Antoine-Louis Barye and PJ Mene.
I always managed to spend a few hours here and there in galleries and museums and my first wife Sue worked as a PA in Christies, so I spent a lot of time browsing their auction rooms absorbing art as if by by osmosis!
. My tastes developed and I became more and more interested in contemporary works.
You can see that my greatest influences range from Picasso, Matisse and Moore through Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth to Chirico, Cesar and of course Giacometti and many more.
Rodin however was an early source of inspiration as the father of French sculpture in the 19th century.
HOW I LEARNED TO BE A SCULPTOR
After a very kind and generous sculpture lesson / demonstration from the Dutch Sculptor Kees Verkade in his studio in Antibes market in 1987, what then followed was a series of amazing happy, life changing coincidences which led to me starting to sculpt and work on maquettes in wax.
Kees Verkade – Sculptor
Not very long afterwards having been introduced to cast in bronze, Initially at the Burlieghfield Foundry, Eric Gibbard, Ted Knell and Dennis Ball all encouraged me to produce one wax after another.
Eric Gibbard – Founder
Some of these works suddenly found their way to being cast as large bronzes for leading corporations and governments as well as private collectors.
Before very long I was lucky enough to have commissions for the Palace of Westminster.
Others followed.
The 17 metre Keris and its arches and a water feature for The National Stadium in Malaysia
Later the Opening of The Channel Tunnel.
HM The Queen and President Mitterand
Opening The Channel Tunnel. Folkstone 1994
The London Stock Exchange and The Financial Futures Exchange LIFFE.
British Gas and British Telecom
The Magna Carta Memorial in Egham near Runnymede.
PLEASE COME AND VISIT MY STUDIO IN BEAUTIFUL WEST SUSSEX
May I extend an open invitation to visit my home and my Studio and Gallery near Chichester.
I can make it an exciting day out and all my work is of course for sale? Private and Corporate Commissions are very welcome. Lunch or a glass of good wine might encourage you……………….haha!!

Are Used Car Tyres Safe?
One of the most important part of any car is the tires, which are the only part of your car that will actually touch the road. Maintaining a great set of tires on your car will allow you to get from point A to point B with very little problems. Over time, the tires of your car will begin to show signs of wear and will need to be replaced. For most car owners, finding the cheapest tires is a top concern due to the restraints of their budget. One of the most popular options when it comes to cheaper tires is buying used. Here are a few things that you need to look for when buying used tires for your car.
The first thing that you need to check when trying to find the right used tires for your car is the tread that is on them. You want to make sure that there is still plenty of rubber left on the used tires that you are purchasing. The last thing you want to do when buying used tires is to get some that are nearly ready for the trash heap. By paying attention to tread that is left on your used tires, you will be able to get a quality set that will last you for a little while.
When trying to find the right used tires, you also want to inspect them thoroughly and look for signs of damage and any patches that may be there. You need to make sure that the sidewall of the tire has not been patched, because this could be very dangerous. The more you know about the tires that you are buying, the better equipped you will to get the best possible set.
Another very important thing that you need to look for when trying to find the right used tires is the size on them. You want to make sure that the tires that you get match the ones coming off of your car because if not you will be in for a lot of problems. Be sure to also check to make sure that you are getting the best price on the tires you are getting. In order to get the best price, you will need to call around and get some quotes from the used tire dealers in your area.
When trying to find good quality used tires, be sure to contact the team at Canterbury Tyre & Mag Supamart.


The World Bank has been a pioneer in promoting the inclusion of women in infrastructure projects, particularly in the transport sector, with the Second Rural Road Project (2001 to 2007) and the Decentralized Rural Transport Project (2007 to 2013) both in Peru. These projects have helped to break gender barriers by promoting women's participation in routine maintenance microenterprises. Also, with the Road Maintenance Project in Paraguay, six microenterprises for routine maintenance were organized and six more microenterprises are being created before the end of the project in June 2015.
Next steps: The Global Practice for Transport and ICT is currently carrying out a research in Argentina, Nicaragua and Peru, financed by the Umbrella Facility for Gender Equality, on the impact of these types of jobs on women's agency with the objective of expanding data and evidence on the importance of these actions for gender equality and to analyze the replicable and scalable nature of those activities across infrastructure sectors, especially transport.
Elaborated with the collaboration of Sebastian E. Guerrero, PhD Berkeley University.
I a very interested in speaking with Maria Margarita Nunez regarding her vast experience managing the World Bank's Peru Rural Roads Program.

Cardinals beat Arrieta, Cubs 7-2 to complete 3-game sweep

Paul Beaty
CHICAGO (AP) When the St. Louis Cardinals arrived at Wrigley Field for a three-game series, manager Mike Matheny shook off questions about their 12 1/2-game deficit to the surging Cubs by insisting he avoids looking at the standings.
''It's just not allowing me to fall into the trap, the trap of either being content or being overwhelmed,'' Matheny said.
Three games later, Cardinals showed the NL Central may not be sewn up just yet.
Michael Wacha pitched into the seventh inning for his first win in nearly two months and the Cardinals waited out Jake Arrieta before roughing up Chicago's bullpen in a 7-2 victory over the Cubs on Wednesday.
Aledmys Diaz hit a two-run home run, and Matt Carpenter had a two-run double in a five-run sixth after Arrieta (11-2) departed. The Cardinals won their eighth straight road game - their longest streak since 1982 - and completed their first three-game sweep at Wrigley Field since 1988.
''This is a big series for us,'' Carpenter said.
Arrieta was charged with two runs - one earned - and four hits in five innings as he struggled with control (four walks) and pitch count (106).
''Go back to work tomorrow and combat the things that teams have done against me recently,'' Arrieta said.
Wacha (3-7) allowed two hits until rookie Willson Contreras' one-out, two-run homer in the seventh ended his day.
Contreras replaced Miguel Montero an inning earlier after the catcher twisted his right knee. He said after the game he was fine.
The Cubs had three hits and committed several mental and defensive miscues. Their three-game skid matches the longest of the season.
''Give them credit. They pitched well, they really played well and they beat us fair and square,'' manager Joe Maddon said.
Chicago entered the series the darlings of baseball. But the Cardinals, who won 100 games last season before falling to the Cubs in the playoffs, showed their mettle.
Wacha set down the first nine batters before giving up two walks in the fourth and then Anthony Rizzo's opposite-field single against the shift with two out.
But the Cubs didn't score thanks to Chris Coghlan getting doubled off first base on a fly to left, and Wacha was able to snap a seven-game skid.
''It's been a while for sure,'' Wacha said.
The Cardinals made Arrieta work with long at-bats before taking advantage of Chicago's shoddy defense.
''We grinded 1 through 9, even Wacha had a pretty long at-bat (seven pitches) against him,'' Carpenter said. ''We worked his pitch count and had runners on base. The error, that ended up being the difference in the game.''
A single and two walks loaded the bases in the fifth with one out when Stephen Picotty hit a grounder to third. But second baseman Ben Zobrist's relay throw to first was a one-hopper, Rizzo couldn't dig it out for the double play, and two runs scored.
''That was a big moment there,'' Rizzo said. ''I just missed it.''
Justin Grimm replaced Arrieta and was charged with four runs while getting one out in a nightmare sixth for Chicago before Contreras hit his second big league homer.
Rizzo later left the game as a precaution with a tight back.
''If it wasn't 7-0, I think I would have stayed in the game,'' Rizzo said.
Cardinals: RHP Seth Maness (elbow) allowed a walk and got two outs in his first appearance since being activated off the disabled list Sunday.
Cubs: With CF Dexter Fowler (hamstring) on the disabled list, Maddon has settled in on Coghlan batting leadoff against right-handers and Zobrist vs. lefties.
MOLINA & THE CUBS
Cardinals C Yadier Molina could be starting with an all-Cubs infield at the All-Star Game. The latest NL voting released Wednesday had Molina with a slight lead over San Francisco's Buster Posey. The Cubs' Rizzo, Zobrist, Kris Bryant and Addison Russell continued to lead at their infield positions.
Cardinals: After an off day, RHP Carlos Martinez (7-5, 3.17 ERA) looks to stay unbeaten in June in the opener of a three-game series at Seattle.
Cubs: LHP Jon Lester (9-3, 2.06 ERA) aims to win his sixth straight start Thursday night as Chicago opens a season-high 11-game trip in Miami. Struggling LHP Wei-Yin Chen (4-2, 5.22) will start for the Marlins.

Dawn Merton Boothe
, DVM, PhD, Department of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Auburn University
Last full review/revision Nov 2015 | Content last modified Nov 2015
β-Lactam antibiotics, named after the active chemical component of the drug (the 4-membered β-lactam ring), include the 6-membered ring–structured penicillins, monobactams, and carbapenems; and the 7-membered ring–structured cephalosporins and cephamycins. In addition to their chemical structure, the major difference between these two subclasses of β-lactams is their susceptibility to β-lactamase destruction, with the cephalosporins, in general, being more resistant.
Mode of Action:
β-Lactams impair the development of bacterial cell walls by interfering with transpeptidase enzymes responsible for the formation of the cross-links between peptidoglycan strands. These enzymes are associated with a group of proteins in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria called the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). At least nine different PBPs comprise the cell wall; different β-lactam antibiotics may target different PBPs, accounting for differences in spectrum and resistance. During bacterial cell growth, while the peptidoglycan structure is being formed, autolysins continually cleave cell wall lattices, in anticipation of providing acceptor sites for new strands of bacterial cell synthesis. Normal bacterial growth depends on a balance between cell wall autolysis and synthesis. The β-lactam drug mimics the PBP substrate, thus inhibiting the PBP and thus cell wall synthesis. In the face of continued autolysin activity, the cell wall becomes deformed. The cell, which is generally hypertonic compared with its environment, is no longer impermeable to the flow of small molecules and is susceptible to osmotic lysis. The effect of the β-lactams when present in sufficient concentrations is generally bactericidal toward most bacteria (an exception is in listeriosis for which penicillins are bacteriostatic and cephalosporins are ineffective). However, at subinhibitory concentrations, β-lactam antibiotics do exert residual effects on bacterial structure and function that, in turn, promote host-mediated cell death.
Some bacterial isolates, when treated with inhibitors of cell-wall synthesis, undergo inhibition of growth but not lysis at usual concentrations. These "tolerant" organisms are defective in their production or use of autolytic enzymes and can survive exposure to β-lactam antibiotics. Clinically, relapses and failures in serious infections due to tolerant organisms may be prevented by the frequently synergistic effect of the aminoglycosides with β-lactam antibiotics. As with other bactericidal drugs, β-lactams are most effective during the log phase of growth. In any bacterial population, a few organisms will always be quiescent. Because the β-lactams are active against only growing bacteria, the static organisms are unaffected and may persist. These "persisters" may then develop normally after the antibiotic is removed.
β-Lactam antibiotics have little influence on formed bacterial cell walls, and even susceptible organisms must be actively multiplying or growing. β-Lactams are most active during the logarithmic phase of bacterial growth. They also tend to be somewhat more active in a slightly acidic environment (pH 5.5–6.5), perhaps because of enhanced membrane penetration. They also are likely to be less effective in the presence of hypertonic tissues.
Efficacy of the β-lactams is related to the time that plasma or tissue drug concentrations exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the infecting organism (T >MIC). Generally, concentrations should remain above the MIC for approximately 25% (carbapenems) to100% (amoxicillin) of the dosing interval.
Bacterial Resistance:
Only microorganisms that have cell walls are susceptible to the action of β-lactam antibiotics. Within this range of bacteria, resistance to β-lactams is well recognized and takes a number of forms.
Permeability Barrier:
In gram-positive organisms, capsular materials may hinder access to the cytoplasmic membrane, but this rarely limits the diffusion of the cell-wall inhibitors. Gram-negative bacteria have a restricting sieving mechanism (porins) in their outer membranes (external cell wall), which reduces the penetration of several types of antibiotics. Different species of gram-negative bacteria exhibit varying permeability barriers to β-lactam antibiotics, and these impair access of the antibiotics to the membrane-associated binding proteins. For example, the permeability barrier of Haemophilus influenzae is readily crossed by β-lactam antibiotics, Escherichia coli presents a greater obstacle to these agents, and the outer membranes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are penetrated with great difficulty by most β-lactam compounds. Penicillins, aminopenicillins, first- and second-generation cephalosporins, and selected other β-lactams cannot penetrate the outer membrane of P aeruginosa. In addition, porins are frequently associated with efflux proteins that effectively remove drug that has successfully penetrated the lipopolysaccharide covering of gram-negative organisms.
The chemical nature of β-lactams (penicillins, cephalosporins, and the β-lactamase inhibitors), as well as their concentration gradients, also greatly influence their penetration of bacteria to their targets at the surface of the cytoplasmic membrane, giving rise to the differences between antibacterial spectra of the various classes of penicillin. β-Lactams are often used in combination with other antibiotics that disrupt the integrity of the membranes and thereby facilitate access by β-lactams. The genetic loci controlling permeability generally have been considered to be chromosomally located, but they also may be plasmid-specified genes.
β-Lactamase Resistance:
The most important mechanism of bacterial resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is enzymatic inactivation by β-lactamases by cleavage of the 4-member β-lactam ring. Cleavage results in the inability of the drugs to bind to the target PBPs. There currently are >800 different β-lactamases, representing six major classes, with the enzyme varying with the organism and drugs targeted varying with the enzyme. The increase in the number of enzymes reflects, in part, pressure brought with the increasingly widespread use of β-lactams and the continued manipulation of the drugs in an attempt to circumvent bacterial β-lactamase production. For example, the addition of larger R groups on the β-lactam structure rendered cephalosporins to be resistant to penicillinases. However, cephalosporinases emerged with continued use of first-generation cephalosporins. Second- and third-generation cephalosporins reflect modifications, including larger R groups that hindered β-lactamase access to the β-lactam ring. Inhibitors of β-lactamases (clavulanic acid, sulbactam) were added to minimize penicillin destruction. As a result, newer β-lactamases emerged. Approval and use of third-generation cephalosporins have been associated with emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), particularly by E coli, Klebsiella, and Proteus, that target third-generation cephalosporins (but not cephamycins such as cefoxitin). In contrast, carbapenems (imipenem and meropenem) are not subject to ESBLs that target third-generation cephalosporins, but they are subjected to carbapenemases. β-Lactamases do not discriminate among the drugs within class, meaning both human and veterinary drugs will be targeted. Interestingly, clavulanic acid is not susceptible to ESBLs; susceptibility data indicating resistance to cephalosporins but susceptibility to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid indicates ESBL formation.
β-Lactamases are produced by both gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, S epidermidis, S pseudintermedius but generally not enterococci) and gram-negative organisms. Some of these enzymes are active exclusively against penicillins, others are principally active against cephalosporins, and several types hydrolyze both equally. The type and concentration of β-lactamases are also specific to bacterial species. Gram-positive β-lactamases generally are excreted into the external environment as exoenzymes, produced in large quantity, plasmid mediated (single determinant), usually inducible (rarely constitutive), unable to initiate self-transmission (rely principally on transduction), and are active primarily against penicillins. Staphylococcal strains are the main gram-positive bacteria in which β-lactamase resistance develops, often very quickly. Gram-negative β-lactamases generally are heterogeneous (wide range), retained within the periplasmic space, produced in small quantity, often constitutive (less often inducible), able to initiate self-transmission (conjugation mechanisms), and active against both penicillins and cephalosporins. The impact of β-lactamase protectors such as clavulanic acid may not be as positive for treatment of gram-negative versus gram-positive organisms. Gram-negative bacteria capable of resistance as a result of β-lactamase production include Escherichia, Haemophilus, Klebsiella, Pasteurella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, and Salmonella spp; resistance may take longer to develop in some of these strains.
Specific Bacterial-binding Proteins:
Resistance to β-lactam antimicrobial agents can be acquired by alterations in the PBP targets of these drugs. A loss or decrease in affinity of crucial PBP can lead to a significant increase in resistance to β-lactams. For example, resistance of enterococci to cephalosporins appears to reflect the lack of affinity of a PBP to this subclass of drugs. Changes in PBP-2 of Staphylococcus spp render the organism resistant to all β-lactams. Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus spp reflects acquisition of the mec gene, which results in a mutation in PBP-2. As such, no β-lactam can bind to this protein, resulting in resistance to all β-lactam drugs. Problematically, genes conferring methicillin resistance may be accompanied by genes conferring multidrug resistance.
Cell Wall–deficient Microbes:
Organisms that have no cell wall, such as Mycoplasma, are intrinsically resistant to β-lactams. A phenotypic form of resistance can occur when spheroplasts (incomplete cell wall) or protoplasts (absence of cell wall) are present. These so-called "L-forms" must be present in a hyperosmotic environment (eg, the renal medulla) to survive; otherwise, they will lyse. The clinical significance of this form of resistance is unclear.

Home / Software & Gaming / Telltale announces Season 2 of The Wolf Among Us and Batman, while The Walking Dead is coming to an end
Telltale announces Season 2 of The Wolf Among Us and Batman, while The Walking Dead is coming to an end
Damien Mason July 19, 2017 Software & Gaming
In a roller-coaster of news regarding what Telltale might reveal at its San Diego Comic-Con Summer Update, the studio warned fans not to get their hopes up in the wrong direction. It turns out that this was a red herring, as the developer has finally announced a highly anticipated second season of The Wolf Among Us, as well as revealing Batman: The Enemy Within and The Walking Dead: The Final Season.
The upcoming second season of The Wolf Among Us will see the return of Bigby and Snow White alongside a bunch of new characters in new arcs. As Telltale has always intended, the next instalment will act as a standalone story, leaving the conclusion to the first season purposefully ambiguous. Fans will have to wait another year, as The Wolf Among Us Season 2 is expected in 2018 after the release of The Walking Dead: The Final Season.
The fourth and final season of Telltale's The Walking Dead will return focus onto Clementine, ending her story arc as she attempts to find AJ. With a 2018 release, this will complete the 6-year journey of the core series that started out back in 2012. However, since the developer has released a spin-off that focused on Micchonne last year, it is unclear if this will be the final time that Telltale steps into the world of The Walking Dead.
While we wait for those to release next year, Telltale will be releasing a follow-up to last year's Batman: The Telltale Series this August. Season 2 will be titled Batman: The Enemy Within, continuing the unique Bruce Wayne / Batman dynamic present in the first and allowing returning players to carry over their decisions into the new story. The trailer places focus on expanding The Joker's character while introducing The Riddler.
"In this latest chapter, both Bruce Wayne and Batman will be forced into precarious new roles. The Riddler has returned to terrorize Gotham City, but his gruesome puzzles merely foreshadow an even greater crisis. With the arrival of a ruthless federal agent and the return of a still nascent Joker, Batman must navigate uneasy alliances while Bruce Wayne undertakes a perilous series of deceptions. Which of Batman's new allies will you choose to trust? And how deep into the darkness will you let Bruce descend?"
KitGuru Says: It's been a long time coming, but fans can finally rejoice in knowing that they can return to the neo-noir, crime-ridden world of The Wolf Among Us. I also find it interesting that Telltale has chosen to end its core entries of The Walking Dead, but this will result in it being remembered as a solid series throughout its run. Are you excited for any of the upcoming Telltale titles? What's been your favourite so far?

Q: How would I have a web based application commincate with a python server with sockets Example of my current server side code (This will stay in the terminal)
import socket
import threading
port = 7064
server = "0.0.0.0"
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_socket.bind((server, port))

server_socket.listen(5)
def client_thread_code(addr, client_sock):
    client_sock.send("Ping".encode("utf8"))

try:
    while True:
        # Accepts and sorts user connections to server.
        (client_sock, addr) = server_socket.accept()
        print("Connection from: " + str(addr))
        # Spawns client thread
        # socket is blocking so offload to thread.
        client_thread = threading.Thread(target=client_thread_code,     args=(addr, client_sock,)).start()

except Exception as exception:
    print("Critical Error Server halted " + str(exception))

The client would be a complicated version of this:
import socket
server = "localhost"
port = 7064
client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
client_socket.connect((server, port))
print(client_socket.recv(1024).decode("utf8"))

Is there any way to move the client functionality to a website so a client could access it through a browser.

By keeping your remote employees motivated, you can gain many benefits, better retention being one of them. But it doesn't come overnight.
One Christmas bonus won't make your employee excited about the company goals forever.
Motivating employees is a constant and hard work. Strategies detailed below can help you create a unique approach for achieving optimal workflow, better retention and better overall culture of the company.
Out of sight, out of mind – this proverb shouldn't be applicable when it comes to the career advancement of your remote employees.
Don't let your remote employees worry if they are being neglected in favor of the colleague who can meet you by the water cooler. As time passes by, this concern can get stronger and they may start looking for opportunities to grow in some other company.
Try to understand better what keeps them tick. Maybe they have passions that can be beneficial to the organization?
Organize the work so that those skills can be included and remote employees feel more engaged. Present them with a clear path of development and stick to it as much as possible, but also try to find opportunities for promotion along the way.
Every employee wants to be recognized for their contribution to the company. And let me repeat that – every employee. Showing that you care will have a big impact on their motivation.
A gift certificate is one of the good options to show appreciation.
It doesn't have to be in the form of money exclusively. Find other ways to publicly endorse remote workers – through the LinkedIn or company website, too.
Paying your employees on time is important in any setup, but it becomes essential when paying remote workers.
They don't see you every day in the office and their trust can be easily shaken by the payment delay.
Trust is important especially if they live in some other country and it is hard for them to enforce employer's obligations legally.
Think about how you would treat a client if there are regular problems with payments and be fair.
Logistic hurdles shouldn't be an excuse – there are plenty of tools that can automate that work for you.
Create a dynamic and productive atmosphere – your employees will feel as a part of a winning team, and winning is the greatest motivator.
So, set realistic goals, remove the obstacles in reaching them and then praise the staff openly.
Always listen to your remote workers and show the respect they deserve. This is essential if you want them to be loyal and to show their respect in return by being committed to the work and the company values in the long run.
Bonus cache can push an employee that extra mile when it's needed, but it won't have the same effect in everybody.
Your remote employee will feel special if you pay her for that training she thinks will improve her skills or if you organize a trip to the conference he was excited about.
The first step in creating the positive atmosphere in your team should be not having employees fear of making mistakes.
Allow them to feel safe, recover quickly and be creative.
And after that, you can add spontaneity and fun – either to browse through routine tasks easier or to dedicate the time for some online gaming.
We are all connected 24/7, and remote employees can feel that they're 24/7 at work. That can be very stressful and harmful in the long run.
Insist for your employees to disengage completely at dedicated times so they can spend some quality time with their family or personal growth.
When making decisions or certain actions towards an employee, let your values and what you think is right guide you.
Don't always keep score if you got something in return. Calculating every action will keep you out of the focus and provoke the bad atmosphere.
So, you've put all your knowledge into documentation and all the processes in place – employees will do the rest, no need to be involved anymore?
You should constantly ask for feedback, so you can correct and improve what's been set up. That will also raise the level of engagement and happiness of employees.
For the remote worker, it's easy to lose the boundary between working and non-working activities. Tracking time will keep them more focused while working.
This also means that when they're on the break, they do it consciously, using it to enjoy themselves. They can relax and unwind instead of feeling nervous about the time they think they should be working.
To run a successful business you need great players in your team. Keep in mind that your team will function exactly how the leaderships sets up the company mindset to function.
So, don't try to run away it. If you are having a bad day or skies are not clear, your team will not have a good day either. Nevertheless, good energy also translates well too.
If you are searching for a valuable asset to your team in order to grow your team further or outsource some of the tasks, please, give us a nudge!


When vCenter VMs are deployed by vCommander®, the MAC addresses are set to manual, even if the base image was originally configured for automatic. This is necessary to provide MAC information to vCommander at the time of deployment. The MAC information is required to achieve other requested network configurations, such as assigning IP addresses from pools, or creating routes for VMs deployed behind a network fence. When vCommander switches a VM's NIC settings to manual, a unique MAC address is generated, so no MAC collisions are introduced onto the network. This also occurs when vCommander clones VMs previously deployed by vCommander.
However, if you clone a VM deployed or cloned by vCommander directly in vCenter, you will get an exact copy of the VM, including the manually configured MAC address, thereby introducing a conflict onto the network. Avoid working outside vCommander to prevent this from occurring, or reconfigure VMs that have been cloned outside vCommander to use automatic addressing.
