Dennis Michael Virkler (* 23. November 1941 in Cleveland, Ohio; † 15. September 2022
) war ein amerikanischer Filmeditor.

Leben
Nachdem Dennis Virkler 1972 beim Filmschnitt von Horror-Attack, einem Horrorfilm mit Orson Welles assistierte, durfte er bereits im darauffolgenden Jahr mit dem Schnitt einer Fernsehepisode von Wide World Mystery und des Fernsehfilms Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray jeweils eigenverantwortlich als Editor arbeiten. Es folgten bis 1980 fast ausschließlich Arbeiten für das Fernsehen, bevor sich Virkler dem Kinogeschäft zuwandte und Filme wie Xanadu, Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Raumschiff und Gorky Park schnitt.

Für Jagd auf Roter Oktober und Auf der Flucht wurde Virkler jeweils mit einer Oscar-Nominierung für den Besten Schnitt bedacht. Beide Male teilte er sich die Nominierungen mit anderen Editoren. Dennoch führten die Nominierungen dazu, dass er für große Blockbusterproduktionen angefragt wurde. So schnitt er nicht nur beide Batman-Filme von Joel Schumacher, sondern war auch für den Schnitt von Filmen wie Die Bourne Identität, Daredevil und Wolfman verantwortlich.

Dennis Virkler war Mitglied der American Cinema Editors.

Today marks exactly one month before my half marathon! After much equivocation and holding out for a better option, my sister deigned to invite me to St. Louis to run the Rock'n'Roll half with her and prove to her doubting friends that I'm real. For whatever reason, I jumped at the chance to visit her in Australia but it took over two years to get me to Missouri. I hear they have an arch?
I asked an ultra-marathoner friend who coaches runners to help me put together a training plan (thanks Jana!), and it turns out she doesn't believe in days off nearly as strongly as she believes in speedwork. The workouts shape the rhythm of my week—Sunday through Wednesday builds unrelentingly so that reaching Thursday's easy 5 miles feels like a huge relief. I dread Friday's tempo run (2-4 miles at faster than race pace, aka the worst combination of speed and distance designed to make your legs hate you) and will be hungry all day.
It's probably the hardest I've ever trained for a race, thanks to Jana's love of speed workouts and my ambitious time goal. I've always tended more toward the long, slow miles sort of run, and now I show up weekly at the track and have a watch to track my splits. When did that happen? But when I hit my goal pace for that mile or make it to the zone where the miles float by almost unnoticed (almost!), it's all worth it. Being able to feel your legs is overrated.
Wait, is this supposed to be about food? Saturday is my one day off, when I don't need to fit in a workout before work or get out running before the heat will actually melt me, and I tend to not want to move. This salad was born out of one of those listless Saturday lunches when turning on the stove feels like entirely too much work but another bowl of cereal just won't cut it for real food. I had a peach and a cucumber, figured eating them both would mean not having to leave the house, and went with it. The salad turned out way better than I expected, made it onto the list for my weird road trip food, and is now helping me close out the summer with a bang before I succumb to pumpkin everything.
The soft peach offsets the perfectly crunchy cucumber, and a loosely Asian-inspired dressing—sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic—makes it interesting enough to qualify as lunch. I'm a sucker for fruit in my salad and will jump at any excuse to throw sweet things in the vegetables, and when there's also maple syrup in the dressing? You know I'm there. I made this one all pretty for the pictures, but I've also chopped it all up and thrown it in a tupperware if you're not trying to impress anyone on instagram (be honest).
Simple summer produce gets a touch of fancy with a rice vinegar-based dressing and tuxedo sesame seeds.
Slice the peaches. Peel and slice the cucumber. Arrange the slices fussily on a plate or just throw it all in a bowl.
Whisk together the dressing ingredients and adjust sweetness and acidity to taste. Top the peaches and cucumber with the dressing, then sprinkle on the sesame seeds and salt.


Federal privacy laws haven't been updated since 1986, and cellphones, the Internet and GPS technology have raised a host of new issues.
AUGUSTA — Privacy protections have a long history but haven't kept pace with technology, experts said at a forum on Tuesday.
Privacy protections for a person's home date back to ancient Rome, said Robert Bernheim, a UMA history professor and human rights scholar. Later, the British government's use of general or even permanent search warrants in the American colonies caused resentment and led to the inclusion of the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights, he said.
Still later, legal precedent extended the amendment's protections to the privacy of individuals, in addition to property, and to actions taken by state and local governments, instead of just the federal government.
Shenna Bellows, executive director of the America Civil Liberties Union of Maine, said federal privacy laws haven't been updated since 1986, and cellphones, the Internet and GPS technology have raised a host of new issues.
Joseph Szakas, UMA's provost, who also teaches a course on computers and culture, said intelligence and law-enforcement agencies quickly started intercepting communications as new media emerged.
Now, he said, people are voluntarily — if often unwittingly — sharing information about themselves via apps, search engines and credit card use.
"It's not that things were created to be evil; it's that we found uses for it that started on a slippery slope that was really hard to stop because of the computers' power and effectiveness," Szakas said.
Szakas said revelations about the National Security Agency's surveillance of phone calls and the Internet aren't surprising. Bellows said they've nonetheless brought more attention to issues the ACLU has been raising since passage of the Patriot Act in 2001.
Bellows said the country is at a potential turning point, and people need to decide whether they'll cede their privacy rights or assert them by pushing back on surveillance.
About 30 people attended the forum in the Randall Student Center. Audience members who spoke expressed dismay about infringements on privacy and pessimism that ordinary citizens can do much to push back against the government.
"How can you have a fair system when the entire deck is literally being stacked against us, law by law?" one woman asked.
Bellows said the ACLU is pushing for more transparency in the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which oversees surveillance warrants and operates mostly in secret.
It also has been promoting legislation on the state level, such as new laws requiring state and local police to secure warrants before obtaining cellphone location information or text messages or placing cameras on private property.
Bellows said the ACLU of Maine lobbied legislators heavily, enabling easy passage of two of the laws and an override of Gov. Paul LePage's veto of the third.
"I'll be honest with you. Your communications are not protected from NSA surveillance, but they are protected from state and local police, which might have more impact on your everyday life," Bellows said.

Environmentalists here in Florida are going ape over the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and one of them is advocating an amendment to the Florida Constitution forbidding oil drilling in Florida coastal waters.
But I was just wondering whether environmentalism isn't partly to blame for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Environmentalists have gotten oil drilling outlawed pretty much everywhere. Does this have the effect of making extreme locations the only ones that are still possible? The water at the DH site is about a mile deep, and the special GPS-guided rig used to position it over the bore rents for something like a million dollars a day. Maybe BP and the other oil companies would have been out there anyhow, someday. But I'm thinking they're out there now because environmental extremism has placed everything else off limits.

Concept-based indexing, based on identifying various semantic concepts appearing in multimedia, is an attractive option for multimedia retrieval and much research tries to bridge the semantic gap between the media's low-level features and high-level semantics. Research into concept-based multimedia retrieval has generally focused on detecting concepts from high quality media such as broadcast TV or movies, but it is not well addressed in other domains like lifelogging where the original data is captured with poorer quality. We argue that in noisy domains such as lifelogging, the management of data needs to include semantic reasoning in order to deduce a set of concepts to represent lifelog content for applications like searching, browsing or summarisation. Using semantic concepts to manage lifelog data relies on the fusion of automatically-detected concepts to provide a better understanding of the lifelog data. In this paper, we investigate the selection of semantic concepts for lifelogging which includes reasoning on semantic networks using a density-based approach. In a series of experiments we compare different semantic reasoning approaches and the experimental evaluations we report on lifelog data show the efficacy of our approach.


Unplugged Book Box is a monthly subscription box that sends a new release book plus items to help you unplug from your daily life and recharge. Self care goodies AND a book? Yes, please! You can choose from two levels: The Adult Box is $38 with 4-6 items, and the Young Adult Box is $33.25 with 3-6 items. I am reviewing the Young Adult version!
The March 2019 Spring Equinox Box theme was Bloom Where You Are Planted. This is the first of the three Spring Equinox boxes.
There was a card with the theme.
The back of the card listed the "spoilers", or items in the box. The items tie in with different fandoms, TV shows, and books. For instance, one of the items is inspired by the show Supernatural. Most of the items can be found on Etsy. It also lists some unboxing challenges in case you want to share your photos on Instagram and possibly win a prize.
The contents were sealed with a star sticker.
The items were cushioned with shredded paper squiggles and were tucked into yellow tissue paper. It was very spring-like.
Everything in my box! I let my daughter unwrap the "gifts", she has so much fun discovering the fandoms!
There is always a Spotify playlist. Sometimes the songs have explicit warnings but I didn't see any this time around.
The back of the playlist had a gratitude journal. You could pop this into a bullet journal if you wanted to keep them long term.
There was a card with the April theme: Wash Away Your Worries.
The back of the card had a recipe inspired by Game of Thrones.
Gorgeous Soap Makani Shower Steamer ($1.24) At first I thought this was a mini bar of soap but it turns out that it is a shower steamer! I'm not exactly sure what the fragrance is supposed to be but it smells floral and soapy. Ingredients weren't listed but according to the Etsy sellers site, it has baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salts, and fragrance. Unwrap and place in a corner of the shower and let the warm water help release the scent into the air.
Atlanta Body Culinary Creamy Whipped Soap ($3.95?) I couldn't quite find this product on the Atlanta Body Culinary website but they have all kinds of scents to choose from.
The ingredients are listed on the bottle. The size wasn't given, but a lot of the ones on the Etsy site are 2 ounces.
Look at how pretty it is! They even managed to make little pearls on top, although they dissolved as soon as I rubbed them over my skin. I didn't find it to be super soapy, and although it felt like I was showering with lotion it rinsed clean. Again, it smells floral and also sweet, more like perfume than anything else.
Wicked Good Perfume Elizabeth Frankenstein Perfume Oil ($13.45?) was specially curated for this box so while I couldn't find this exact scent, there are lots of dark and mysterious ones to choose from on the Esty website.
Grapeseed oil is the carrier oil and all it says is "fragrance" so I don't know what it is supposed to smell like but it smells kind of warm and has notes I don't really recognize.
Just roll on pulse points or the inner arm and maybe at the neck.
Book Art Bookmarks ($7?) Another exclusive item, like the rest of the items in the box!
It is an elastic bookmark with a fabric blossom charm.
Here I have it in the middle of the book. I think it is supposed to go around the cover too but I didn't know that until I looked it up online!
Yippee & Co Bubbling Bath Salts ($8?) So many exclusive items this month! I didn't get a close up on the ingredients because it was kind of pixilated but it has baking soda, sea salt, almond oil, kaolin clay, lavender & rose petals, SLSA, and lavender essential oils. It smells like lavender and roses!
Warrior Of The Wild by Tricia Levenseller (List price $17.99, now $12.32) is a historical/fantasy/romance and coming of age novel about a young woman who must prove herself after failing a big test. It is inspired by Vikings, need I say more?
Here is a random page from the book so you can see how it flows.
Inside the book I found a sticker signed by the author that I ended up placing inside the front cover.
I found a card inside the book.
The back of the card had a journal to reflect on the book.
Finally, there was a letter about the book and a Facebook book discussion event that subscribers can join on April 21st.
Unplugged Book Box sends an enjoyable box of products and the fandoms are pretty diverse. The book was a new release and has good reviews so far. The products certainly do help one relax and unwind, you just have to make time for yourself to take a soak in the tub or shower up with the steamer, roll on a warm scent, and mark your page with an adorable book mark. I had to guess at some of the values but like always, I think it exceeded the price paid for the box, but the curation of course is what makes this box so special.

The Drought Means More Pollution and Higher Bills
A new report from the Pacific Institute has tallied how four years of drought has impacted electricity prices and pollution from the electricity sector. Reduced flows of surface water has meant less hydropower and more natural gas, which is not good for the wallet or the environment.
Written by Tara Lohan Published on  Feb. 15, 2016 Read time Approx. 3 minutes
Water and energy are interconnected and California's drought is providing another reminder of that fact. Last week the Pacific Institute released a report that calculated the impact of four years of drought on hydropower in California.
"When we don't get surface water, we don't get hydropower," said Peter Gleick, author of the report and president of the Pacific Institute. "When we don't get hydropower we have to burn more natural gas, when we burn more natural gas it costs more money and there are more pollutants emitted."
The report found that California ratepayers had to cough up an additional $2 billion in electricity costs over the last four years of drought to pay for more expensive natural gas that had to be stepped up to fill in for decreased hydropower.
Due to decreased surface water flows from limited rain and snowpack, hydropower declined during the drought and most substantially in 2015. In a normal hydrologic year, says Gleick, California gets about 18 percent of its electricity from hydropower, second only to natural gas. By 2015 that number had fallen as low at 7 percent. And Californians paid the price for it.
"The way it appears is that it's an incremental cost on all our electric bills, we paid more for electricity than we would otherwise because those costs are passed on directly to ratepayers over time," said Gleick.
There is also an environmental price. Hydroelectricity is one of the cleanest sources of energy and adding more natural gas means greater emissions of pollutants, including nitrous oxides, volatile organic compounds, sulfur oxides, particulates, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the report found.
Pacific Gas & Electric's Colusa Generating Station near Maxwell, California, is a 657-megawatt plant natural gas facility. A report from the Pacific Institute found that the drought has caused a decrease in hydropower and an increase in natural gas use for electricity generation during the last four years. (Rich Pedroncelli, Associated Press)
An additional 23 million tons of carbon dioxide came from California power plants in the last four years as a result of decreased hydropower – a 10 percent increase in CO2 emissions from the electricity-generating sector.
"One of the complications is that the drought has made it harder to meet the greenhouse gas targets that the governor has set," said Gleick.
There are other reasons to be concerned, as well. "A linear trend fitted to the data shows that hydroelectricity generation has been declining over the past 15 years, largely due to drought conditions," the report states.
"If you look at the last 15 years the trend is definitely down," says Gleick. "I think an unresolved question is whether this is a long-term trend that is going to continue." Is drought the "new normal" for California, as many have suggested?
A report published February 4 in Geophysical Research Letters found that droughts in the Southwest are likely to become more common as bigger storms have been occurring less frequently.
There are also other impacts that drought may have on energy. One of the consequences of the drought has been a massive increase in groundwater pumping to make up for a lack of surface water. Nowhere has this been more acutely felt than in the San Joaquin Valley, where overdrafting of aquifers has caused concern about falling groundwater levels, subsidence and consequences for farmers.
But, Gleick says, there is one major area that no one has studied yet and that's how much energy is being used to pump that groundwater, which is increasingly being pumped from deeper depths.
"It is potentially very significant," he said, but "we don't have data on the volume of groundwater that's actually been pumped or the depth from which it has been pumped and we'd need both of those to calculate the true energy cost of this additional energy cost."
There are of course no easy fixes for increasing hydropower since any spot where you could put a hydroelectric dam already has one. But Gleick says there is still a lot we can do with water conservation and efficiency, wastewater treatment and reuse and stormwater capture.
"More effort is going into those three areas," he says. "But I would argue not enough."

The Manchester Monarchs are offering 2 free tickets to Friday nights playoff game against Binghamton.
https://www.monarchsjungle.com/smg-thank-you?oid=216

Did all season ticket holders have access to the Talon room? I had access but it was because of the Center Ice club. Other than a couple of times when they had a function going on before the game the amount of people in Talon room was pretty small.
I think it's a good idea to open the room up to more people, same with the Center Ice club. It's nice to get the big donors but it would be better to make it affordable for families to join like most Friends groups. The more involvement the better.
I also had access to the Talon room through the Center Ice Club. I only got to go to one game this year and had every intention of going to the Talon Club, but on the recommendation of some posters here, we went to the Beer Works first. The food was good, the beer was great, so we just stayed there almost until the start of the game. It was my first time at the Beer Works and we were all impressed.
I like where the new Talon Room is as opposed to the old location where a section of the walkway behind the goal was closed off to everyone but members. The new location does have the disadvantage of being unable to see the rink from most areas inside the room.
Maybe the marketing team can work something for next year's Center Ice Club. The family package gets you a couple of ballcaps for the kids and passes to the Talon room for X dollars. The Beer Works package gets you a free beer or appetizer before every home game for Y dollars. Good advertising for the restaurant, more potential donors for the school. I'm obviously the newbie here, but if the goal is to gain more memberships, something like that might be a way. It could also turn the Talon Club into a kids' room. One issue at a time:) Hopefully the marketing team is always looking for ways to attract large donors, small donors, and anything that will contribute to the program.
Nice to see the no hitter and a doubleheader sweep for the baseball team to snap the losing streak.

It would be nice to have something that attracted people without tons of cash to some sort of Friends group option. They might not have mucho buckos now but loyalty is a commodity that sells tix and sets up the next generation. Yrs ago the Friends set up travel to the games in places like AK, CO, ME etc. I don't think there was a ton of cash but the fans were there. You guys have a loyal group that started as students but when they killed that they lost the avg Joe. Of course there might be something like that now and I don't know. The Tully was so much more intimate. People knew each other because there was a finite space to go. The Tsongas Tcenter seems so much more nebulous.
Bottom line- the rich guys may provide money but there aren't as many of them. The little guy helps build the culture and fanbase. He/She needs something to make them feel special.
There's got to be a way to cater to both. Adding the Pavilion Club and Chancellor's Suite is a good way to bring in some high rollers. The Center Ice Club is a great idea to allow for small and large donors to participate. A newsletter, coach/AD emails, or something to keep people informed and interested would be a start.
I signed up to receive email updates from 'Mack (for free) because I like Hockey East and they were a fun team to root for in the NCAAs this year (shows there's hope for a DII school with DI hockey). I understand it was a banner year for them, but EVERY WEEK, I got a mass email from the AD talking about the coming week's sporting events, the status of the hockey team, rink renovations, and future plans for athletic facilities on the campus. I know it was probably written by an assistant or something and they weren't very long, but they were fun to read and kept the information flowing from the administration to the fans. I'll still be a member of the Center Ice Club next season because I finally go to a school that supports DI (and Hockey East) hockey and want to see that continue (maybe with some success), but something as little as a newsletter or mass email could go a long way.
Also noted this morning that the head coaching vacancy has been taken down from the UML job opportunities site. I think there are some weird rules regarding state employees and job postings, but maybe we'll hear something soon?

UMLFan
I wouldn't be surprised.
Agree, and the program needs both of these groups. As goUMLgoBC mentioned, things like newsletters, emails, a membership card or a decal for the car go a long way. Any ways, first things first, the team still needs a coach.
Minor detail.
Patman
related thoughts... I know they do game notes... and they surely have STH on a list... why not attach or link to the game notes ever week in an e-mail?

I get the same newsletter from Merrimack and yeah, the AD does a really good job with that. The e-mails from Eric and Scott are good and list all the upcoming promotions which can be important, but to get an e-mail from Skinner or the new coach every couple weeks or so to keep updated on things would be appreciated since the Sun's coverage of the team is laughable.
I really like the idea of the athletic department organizing road trips to other HE schools and stuff like that. I don't play golf but I'd go to other season ticket holder events like game viewings if they're somewhere really far away.
Regarding the restaurant in the Tsongas being open to anyone now before games, I think that might entice me to go once or twice a season as opposed to none before. Won't really change my habit of scarfing down a pizza or sub at Suppah's before the Friday games after work and getting some good eats and drinks at Beer Works for the Saturday games.
Here's the link to Friends of UNH Hockey site to see their membership levels and benefits. I like the fact that they make it affordable for the students to join, get them involved early.

I'm not a season ticket holder so I was unaware that any emails to fans existed at all. It's good that they do, but maybe they can expand the mailing list so season ticket holders and potential individual game purchasers are all informed (unless I totally missed something about signing up to receive email updates). That's what's great about email, doesn't cost a nickel to add a ton of people to a mailing list.
I was happy that the Center Ice Club advertised monthly email newsletters, but I got one in October and that was the only one for the season. It will be interesting to see how the new coach is on the PR circuit and what the Center Ice Club/season ticket packages look like next season.
I can't complain about the athletic department staff. I had an unusual travel schedule this winter, but for the one game that I could get to, a couple people in the hockey/athletic offices hooked me up big time. Makes it easier to contribute when the staff is helpful.

The team held their awards dinner last night - no public this time. Here is who won each award:
MVP – Riley Wetmore
Coaches Perseverance – David Vallorani
Most Improved – Matt Ferreira
Gus Coutu – Ryan Blair
Unsung Hero – Jason DeLuca
Rookie and Best Defensive Player – Chad Ruhwedel
Marc Connelly – Sean Patno

I agree, but it's an option for some folks. My only concern with ordering food in the Talon room this past season was the service time, which they also addressed in the email.
I didn't have access to the Talon room but if I have access this season I'll probably check it out. Especially on Friday nights when traffic stinks and the Beer Works is packed when I get to Lowell.

UML has a new head coach.... Expect something today or Monday!
I'd heard next week, but either way ... good news. Time to start up the next chapter.

I heard its Bazin too
Kudos to Providence.
They get a far superior hire.
And who said PC isn't a good job?
First, nothing's been finalized, so it's tough to say someone is a superior hire. Second, let's see them actually coach before we decide who's better. Third, I don't think most of us say PC isn't a good job ... most of us though do believe that Lowell is better set up to succeed.

10+ Animal Shelters in Texas That Will Warm Your Heart
Over 70 million lost animals are currently present on US roadways, according to an official assessment. In terms of the number of cats and dogs taken in by shelters throughout the epidemic, Texas led the pack.
The number of stray animals in the city of Texas is increasing as things return to more of a pre-pandemic way of life.
Here is a list of several outstanding animal shelters in Texas that you might consider working with.
List of Best Animal Shelters in Texas:
10. ThisIsHouston
9. DallasDogRRR
8. Austin Bulldog Rescue
7. Fort Worth Abandoned Animal Alliance
6. Saving Hope Animal Rescue
5. Palm Valley Animal Society
4. Dallas K-911
3. Cane Rosso Rescue
2. Safe in Austin, Texas
1. Little Dogs Big Hearts
In Dallas, how much does it cost to adopt a dog?
How can I obtain a dog for nothing?
Do you have to pay to keep a dog safe?
What is the ideal age to adopt a rescue dog?
What qualities make a dog "rescued"?
One of the largest concentrations of homeless animals in the US may be found in the city of Houston alone. In Houston, there are well over a million critters walking the streets searching for food and shelter.
Four free fighters launched the "ThisIsHouston hashtag" on Facebook to raise awareness of the issue of roaming overcrowding.
To develop a rescue that focuses on, a Facebook group was started in 2019. Regardless of whether the dog is killed or injured, they will fight for them until there is no more fight.
Dallas is another big city with a sizable population of lost animals, with more than 14,000 creatures living there and more on the way in 2021.
Approximately 6,500 of these critters have needed a medical operation of some kind, whether it is specialized or fix-and-fix surgery.
The Dallas Dog Rescue Rehab Reform network utilizes a proactive approach while safe homes in the area of Dallas make a significant effort to keep informed of the startling number of dogs being given up every day.
It also rescues abandoned dogs from off the streets and rescues dogs destined for high-kill shelters.
As they age, English Bulldogs frequently suffer the negative impacts of unforeseen problems, which results in high vet expenditures.
Bulldogs cost between $22,000 and $55,000 to own. This regrettably leads many owners to donate their English Bulldogs to shelters or rescue organizations.
Austin Bulldog Salvage is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating unwanted English Bulldogs, educating dog owners on responsible canine ownership, and educating the general public about the English Bulldog breed.
To provide English Bulldogs with a cherished and caring home, Austin Bulldog Salvage considers the particularities and needs of these dogs.
Fort Worth, Texas, has had a significant influx of homeless animals entering its offices over the past few months.
Fort Worth Creature Control has 13,757 cats and dogs in its care as of the year's midway point. To put things in perspective, in 2016, with 13,992 dogs and cats, Fort Worth Abandoned Animal Alliance needed the most creatures in the preceding five years.
The Fort Worth region FWAAA is committed to helping deserted, forgotten, and traumatized animals.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area has benefited greatly from the work of Saving Hope Animal Rescue, which is based in Fort Worth, Texas.
They give underprivileged animals a second chance by screening, caring for, and raising them until they are welcomed into their forever homes.
Unfortunately, many mothers they save have been neglected or mistreated; therefore, they go above and above to ensure a mother doesn't have to have children again.
The Rio Grande Valley in Southern Texas is where Palm Valley Animal Society is located. This hideaway usually receives up to 27,000 visitors each year, but regrettably, all visitors are currently prohibited from entering.
Once restrictions related to the coronavirus were eliminated, their admittance increased swiftly and has continued to rise. They continue to make an effort to eradicate animals, and 651 creatures were recently taken on.
However, much like Houston, southern Texas has a substantial overpopulation of neither fixed nor fixed creatures. They serve as the district's primary full-service creature admission office with open confirmation.
Numerous dogs may be seen roaming the streets of Houston, resting on trash piles or in ditches.
Houston K-911, a non-profit organization, aims to save chronically weak street dogs in grave danger to alleviate the immediate situation of Houston's animal overpopulation.
Many pets they take in are in urgent circumstances and need help immediately. They sometimes take care of between 100 and 150 dogs at once and do their utmost to restore their health.
A Dallas Pizza Restaurant owner started Cane Rosso Rescue in Dallas, Texas, intending to expand outside the restaurant industry. Since then, Cane Rosso Rescue has assisted with finding homes for at least 300 dogs.
It focuses on providing canines searching for a new home with transportation, protection, veterinary care, and other necessities, as well as such as temporary housing and forever homes.
Finding shelters for animals that have been surrendered in hideouts or whose owners cannot give them the attention they need is the mission of Cane Rosso Rescue.
Imagine starting a rescue that primarily targets around 200 animals with outstanding criteria.
Imagine now welcoming children and adults who have experienced damage or special needs and allowing them to recover near these "extra needs" animals. In Austin rescue, which is located in Leander, Texas, this unusual location is known as Protected.
The phrase "Safeguarded Creatures, Saving Kids." sums up its main objective. Safe in Austin (SIA) welcomes several creatures who have a history of mistreatment and disdain, suffer from neurological conditions, were born with malformations, are blind, and the list goes on.
Little Dogs Big Hearts rescue was set up due to the staggering amount of adoptable dogs being put down in the area.
This animal shelter began by setting up various procedures and sending dogs from shelters around the North Texas/Southern Oklahoma region to qualified rescue groups to move them on out.
Furthermore, they began encouraging and seeking fantastic permanent places to live for the dogs in their consideration as they have a penchant for the smaller variety.
The costs range from $50 to $150 if you visit a community stable home or a municipality pet treatment center.
Keep an eye out for free welcome activities at the nearby health facilities. You can also ask your friends, associates, and general co-workers to keep an eye out for you.
Your reception charges will cover a significant portion of the veterinary bills that would ordinarily accrue after acquiring a pet. These expenses include microchipping and repairing.
The optimal time for a puppy to be adopted by a new owner is between 8-9 weeks old, according to an experienced dog trainer and expert on canine progress.
Recovery dogs are canines that have been given new homes after being abused, fired, or left behind by their original owners.

Q: How to determine if the current entry of Java Map is the last I need a key-value pair and I need to iterate over it, but I need to remove the & from the last iteration.
My key-value Map object is defined as:
private Map<String, String> additionalAttributes = new HashMap<String,String>();

I perform my iteration as such:
for(Entry<String,String> i : additionalAttributes.entrySet()) {
    attributes += i.getKey() + "=" +i.getValue() + "&";
}

Is there any way I can determine if the current entry i is the last entry in the map? The map will vary in size and contents each time it's run so I need a dynamic solution.

A: It may be much easier to let Java's streams do the heavy lifting for you:
String attributes =
    additionalAttributes.entrySet()
                        .stream()
                        .map(e -> e.getKey() + "=" + e.getValue())
                        .collect(Collectors.joining("&"));

As a .Net developer who using Visual Studio from early morning till late evening, I like the way MS designed the IntelliSense feature there. and I was so disappointed because there is no such a feature while you are using SQL Server Management Studio.
In version 2008 of SQL server Management Studio, MS solved the IntelliSense issue there but that was specifically if you are connecting to SQL Server 2008 backend engine.But I still need to use this feature while I am using SQL server 2000 and 2005 SQL server engines.
I found a very good software from Red-Gate called SQL Prompt, this software is doing a very nice job for me and solved all of my issues related to IntelliSense.
I have been using this software for 3 years till the moment I am writing this article, and I am still believe on it and if I start writing SQL statement without using it, I feel my life like a hell.
For me the IntelliSense feature of SQL Prompt is much better than the one that MS developed on SQL server 2008. and Red-Gate is keeping enhancing it and making it much better everyday.
As a conclusion, I would strongly recommend to you to use it during your daily development day.


I can't help but wonder how the family of Michael A. Monsoor is reacting to ISIS's recent conquest of Ramadi in Iraq. Monsoor was awarded the Medal of Honor for actions taken during the 2006 Battle of Ramadi, when U.S. forces fought insurgents for control of the city. The medal was awarded posthumously.
Monsoor wasn't the only U.S. soldier who died in Ramadi. According to the Wikipedia page "Battle of Ramadi (2006)," more than 80 U.S. soldiers were killed and more than 200 were injured.
Of course, that's easier than thinking that they died for nothing. But the fact is that they did die for nothing. Just look at Ramadi today for proof. Indeed, just look at Iraq.
The thousands of U.S. soldiers who died in Ramadi and the rest of Iraq died for nothing, just like those 58,000 plus U.S. soldiers who died in the Vietnam War. They all died for nothing too.
ISIS didn't exist before the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. It was the invasion itself that ultimately gave rise to ISIS. That's what sometimes happens when a foreign nation effects violent, involuntary regime change on another nation. The side that is ousted sometimes becomes angry and will do whatever is necessary to regain political power. Recall the CIA's regime-change operation in Guatemala, which gave rise to a violent civil war that lasted for three decades, killing and injuring millions.
Monsoor and all the other U.S. soldiers who died in Iraq did not die in the defense of our freedom because our freedom was never threatened by Iraq. At the risk of belaboring the obvious, Iraq never attacked the United States or even threatened to do so. The United States was the aggressor in the conflict and Iraq was the defending nation.
None of the Iraqis who killed U.S. soldiers at Ramadi or elsewhere in Iraq had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks. They were doing nothing more than trying to rid their country of a foreign invader and occupier.
The WMD scare was nothing more than a scam that President Bush and his minions used to garner support for their war on Iraq. With the WMD scare, Bush was trying to make it look like Iraq was the aggressor and that the United States was simply engaging in a preventive war or a preemptive action before Saddam Hussein unleashed a barrage of WMDs on the United States.
The excuse was bogus from the get-go. Bush and officials in the national-security branch of the government wanted regime change in Iraq. After partnering with Saddam in his 1980s war against Iran, they wanted a new dictator, one who would be more cooperative. That's what the brutal sanctions in the 1990s were all about — trying to bring about regime change by squeezing the economic life out the Iraqi people. When the sanctions didn't succeed, Bush resorted to an invasion. The WMDs provided convenient way to scare the American people, especially given the high level of fear after the 9/11 attacks.
The U.S. government had no legal authority to enforce UN resolutions regarding WMDs in Iraq. Only the UN had such authority and the UN refused to order or authorize an invasion of Iraq.
The U.S. Constitution requires a congressional declaration of war before the president and his army are permitted to wage war against another nation. There was no congressional declaration of war against Iraq. That means that Monsoor and those other American soldiers died in an illegal war of aggression against Iraq.
A country that had had the highest levels of education, the best medical system, the broadest distribution of wealth in the entire Middle East was pauperized by the American invasion and occupation.
The massive death toll from the sanctions, totalling in the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraq children, along with UN Ambassador Madeleine Albright's infamous statement that the deaths of half-a-million Iraqi children from the sanctions were "worth it," were major contributing factors that produced the deep anger and hatred that led to the 1993 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993, the USS Cole, the U.S. embassies in East Africa, and the 9/11 attacks, which were then used as the excuse for taking away the freedom and privacy of the American people.
Question: What will it take for the America people to reject, once and for all, a foreign policy of foreign intervention and regime change and all the death, destruction, enmity, and loss of liberty and prosperity that come with it?

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Rodney (Rod) Sawtell and I'm delighted to be the Village Manager at Oak Tree Retirement Village Tamworth.
I grew up in Boggabri and did most of my schooling there and in Gunnedah. Having never strayed too far from the New England region, I now call Tamworth home and have happily lived here for the past 20 years. Tamworth is a proud rural township with all of the modern conveniences to suit my lifestyle and family needs. My children have always thrived in the community, have gone to school locally and no doubt will always consider it home.
Prior to commencing work at Oak Tree I spent the bulk of my career working in the telecommunications and finance sectors as well as dabbled in the fast food industry. Searching for something more meaningful in my career, I found Oak Tree and welcomed the opportunity to share in the rich experiences of seniors and help them take the steps towards a new chapter in life; retirement and all of the positives that come with it. The residents at Tamworth and the staff throughout the broader Oak Tree Group have been so welcoming and I'll take great pleasure in helping the village continue to grow and wishing residents a warm welcome home.

WAIT… WHAT? Omaha newspaper cover leaves Hog fans enraged
Grant Merrill
Picture taken by Amber McCarthy
It didn't so much affect people here in Arkansas because there aren't too many that get the print version of the Omaha World-Herald, but Razorback fans in attendance at the College World Series had plenty to say about the Sunday cover that previewed the story of Saturday night's 1-0 loss to Florida State.
Now keep in mind, in Omaha, the College World Series attracts as many local fans as it does from the locales of the participating universities. In many cases, if the Nebraska Cornhuskers are not playing, locals have adopted a team and even gone so far as to buy their gear.
So it couldn't have been anything but confusing when instead of the front facing Razorback logo, the World-Herald graphic designers placed an Arkansas State Red Wolves logo instead.
94.9 Radio Jon/Deek, the Northwest Arkansas station built around personalities Jon Williams and Deek Kastner were more than happy to send pictures back to Arkansas via their Facebook page on Sunday. As they noted, this was "Why newspapers are dying exhibit 3,731."
It is safe to say that the newspaper may get a phone call or two on Monday morning when they open.
But for Hog fans who want to rub it in to the folks over in Jonesboro, it is also safe to say that being mistakenly reported as a participant may be the closest Arkansas State has been to the College World Series.
Lets' hope we still have something to talk about Monday night after the elimination game against Texas Tech.

Unilever commits to 100% recyclable plastic packaging by 2025
Previous - HUL Board Meeting on January 23, 2017
Next - HUL appoints Dev Bajpai as Director on the Company Board
Invites collective action from fast-moving consumer goods industry to be fully circular on plastic packaging.
Unilever today committed to ensuring that all of its plastic packaging is fully reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025 as it called on the entire fast-moving consumer goods industry to accelerate progress towards the circular economy.
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF), just 14% of the plastic packaging used globally makes its way to recycling plants, while 40% ends up in landfill and a third in fragile ecosystems. By 2050, it is estimated there will be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans. While architect and circular economy leader William McDonough says the cradle to cradle redesign of packaging is one of the great global design challenges of our time - similar to scaling renewable energy to address climate change.
Treating plastic packaging as a valuable resource to be managed efficiently and effectively is a key priority in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Sustainable Consumption & Production) and, in doing so, shifting away from a "take-make-dispose" model of consumption to one which is fully circular.
To help transform global plastic packaging material flows, Unilever has committed to:
Ensure all of its plastic packaging is designed to be reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025
Renew its membership of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation for another three years and endorse and support their New Plastics Economy initiative. As part of this, it will publish the full "palette" of plastics materials used in its packaging by 2020 to help create a plastics protocol for the industry
Invest in proving, and then sharing with the industry, a technical solution to recycle multi-layered sachets, particularly for coastal areas which are most at risk of plastics leaking into the ocean
Unilever has already committed to reduce the weight of the packaging it uses this decade by one third by 2020, and increase its use of recycled plastic content in its packaging to at least 25% by 2025 against a 2015 baseline, both as part of the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan. In 2015, it achieved its commitment of sending zero non-hazardous waste to landfill across its manufacturing operations.
Paul Polman, Unilever CEO, said: "Our plastic packaging plays a critical role in making our products appealing, safe and enjoyable for our consumers. Yet it is clear that if we want to continue to reap the benefits of this versatile material, we need to do much more as an industry to help ensure it is managed responsibly and efficiently post consumer-use.
"To address the challenge of ocean plastic waste we need to work on systemic solutions - ones which stop plastics entering our waterways in the first place. We hope these commitments will encourage others in the industry to make collective progress towards ensuring that all of our plastic packaging is fully recyclable and recycled.
"We also need to work in partnership with governments and other stakeholders to support the development and scaling up of collection and reprocessing infrastructure which is so critical in the transition towards a circular economy. Ultimately, we want all of the industry's plastic packaging to be fully circular."
Ellen MacArthur said: "By committing to ambitious circular economy goals for plastic packaging, Unilever is contributing to tangible system change and sends a strong signal to the entire fast-moving consumer goods industry. Combining upstream measures on design and materials with post-use strategies demonstrates the system-wide approach that is required to turn the New Plastics Economy into reality."
William McDonough said: "The optimization of packaging and plastics is so timely and important that all the people, communities and companies involved – suppliers, producers, retailers, customers and consumers – can work together now, with common values and purpose, to create and share beneficial value for generations to come."
As part of its commitment, Unilever will ensure that by 2025, it is technically possible for its plastic packaging to be reused or recycled and there are established, proven examples of it being commercially viable for plastics re-processors to recycle the material.

Haven't decided on a hotel yet? You can look at other available hotels in the Languedoc-Roussillon region with Booking.com.
If you are interested in staying in a villa in Languedoc-Roussillon, Booking.com offers a number of stunning properties.
Two distinct provinces considered as an administrative whole, Languedoc and Roussillon offers a richly layered history, unspoiled countryside, and plenty of spirit.
Languedoc is where ancient troubadours sang of gallantry and love in the Occitan language, or langue d'oc, a language quite distinct from today's modern French.
Pull yourself away from the attractions of the coastline and explore castle ruins perched high on rocky outcrops, wild mountainous regions favored by hermits and heretics, and vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see.
Roussillon identifies with the culture of Catalonia. Until the treaty of the Pyrenees demarcated the border between Spain and France in 1659, the area extended into the present-day autonomous region of northeastern Spain.
Carcassonne Busloads of daytrippers aside, Carcassonne—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is one of Europe's most splendid walled cities and a worthy stop on any itinerary in southern France. Two walls—1.7 km and 1.3 km long—enclose a "modern" medieval town. 52 stone towers, dry moats, and a drawbridge are remnants of centuries of siege warfare. Carcassonne was once a former stronghold of the Cathars—a religious sect exterminated as heretics in the 13th century. Other famous Cathar fortresses may be visited as well. Dramatically situated, the castles of Quéribus and Peyrepertuse (car only) are excellent insights into the region's turbulent past.
Roman ruins The city of Nîmes is home to a wonderfully preserved Roman amphitheater, Les Arènes, which in present times hosts bullfights and concerts. The Maison Carrée is a small, 2000-year-old temple considered one of the best preserved in the world with fluted Corinthian columns and a sculptured frieze. Just outside of Nîmes, the Roman Pont du Gard, a grand multi-tiered aqueduct and bridge, remains one of the wonders of the classical world and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Aigues-Mortes and the Petite Camargue The walled town of Aigues-Mortes was founded by Louis IX as a Mediterranean port, but failed due to the silt of the Rhône, which pushed the sea to the south. Ignored over time, the town remains in its medieval glory. Just east, the Petite Camargue is an expanse of salt water lagoons and marshland home to 400 species of waterfowl, including flamingos, egrets, and herons.
Côte Vermeille Just before the Spanish border, the Pyrenees reach the sea, creating a series of small rocky coves and tiny ports. Collioure, one of the most picturesque with its pastel houses and anchovy fishing boats, inspired artists such as Henri Matisse and André Dérain. Forming part of the harbor wall, the Château Royal was built by the Knights Templar in the 13th century and is now a museum.

And it makes for interesting (if slightly biased) reading. The author suggests that LightWave's native renderer is the only one worth discussing in the same context as dedicated renderers such as Mental Ray and PRman.
However, it does raise some interesting points, with regards to its ag, speed and feature set. Is it time LW's renderer was updated? Or should NewTek even think about creating conduits to Mental Ray and PRman?
However, it does raise some interesting points, with regards to its ag, speed and feature set. Is it time LW's renderer was updated? Or should NewTek even think about creating conduits to Mental Ray and PRman? IMHO, yes and yes. I think that the full, integrated package options of LW make it a great out of the box tool. Having the option to drop into Mental Ray or Renderman would be great, but I wouldn't give up the NT renderer -- have you seen the price on the other two?
it was done so well that unless Newtek can do better they shouldn't touch it. the LW renderer is Very old, and does indeed have the short comings mentioned, but the quality of the renders are such that they hold their own against the really big boys. When even Maya, softimage, 3dMax, and dozens of other "newer" built-in rendering systems don't even show up for the party.
I, for one, am happy with LW's performance in this article.
My comment on bias was - I felt - slightly against the Mac, rather than LW.
I agree that LW did very well against the competition, but it does also highlight some things such as overall speed, texture filtering (especially procedurals) and its rather odd way of recreating motion blur.
For the money, though, I totally agree that LW's native renderer is by far the best.
Is G2 just a texturing and shading module in Lightwave that depends on the Lightwave renderer for the last step of it's process, or does it include it's own rendering engine, and if so, how would it stack up if it was included in the article. Maybe Steve is the light at the end of the tunnel.
I'll say this: LW's rendering with radiosity seems pretty slow, but I'm still learning the ropes and probably don't have it set up optimally.
That said, I've been doing a lot of rendering in Carrara Studio 3, and it's pretty fast. Faster than LW I think - I'm not sure because I don't know equivalent settings.
(testdof.jpg) took about a minute and a half on a G5 2x2, possibly quicker, at 800 x 600; it's HDRI-only lighting though so nothing too complicated.
However, going on interface alone, I will say that as a new user, Lightwave's isn't quite so intuitive - in Carrara you just select your background to be an HDRI image, load it up, and render. Of course you can fine-tune it; in LW it's taking me a lot more time to figure it out!
1) Load an HDR Probe image using the Image Editor.
2) Go to Effects menu > Backdrop > Add Environment > Image World, and then add whatever HDR Probe image you have loaded.
3) Turn your main light down to zero % (you might want to crank ambient down too).
5) Tweak settings to suit.
You have to remember too that LW render engine is 192 bit incompared to the other engines at 128 bit. Naturally it's going to take longer. ALSO LW is known for it's accuracy in the renders.
The sad thing is that it is a surprise to many users that Lightwave's renderer has so many advantages over the other built-in renderers on the market.
This points to a promotional failure. Not many people know about Lightwave's strengths. Everyone in the industry should be aware of it.
Turner - what's up with your F9??
In OSX (Panther), F9 is assigned to an Exposé function to show all windows. Basically this means it takes all open windows in all apps and shrinks/places them so they are all visible, then you can click to jump to any one of them.
and for all sakes.. DO NOT TOUCH THE BLUE WIRE!
It really hasn't bothered me that much to render from the pull-down menu.. . maybe I'll just try this blue wire here..
Now open the system controles and choose exposé. now this can be tricky.. so be carefull! click.. BUT NICE AND GENTLY!! on the scrolldownmenu where it says F9 and then choose something else. Tip on this: You can hold down key combinations and leave it F9. My expose is setup to be Shift/Ctrl/F9 etc.
mmm.. I just coupled it to my screencorners.. upperleft and upperright..
No bottom because when I've to be in the dock.. I always hit exposé..
But now.. I Now and then hit exposé, but this does not weigh against the big advantages exposé has to offer..
