Bloom issues are caused by the Scale EFB option upscaling small textures that shouldn't be touched. So if we conditionally don't scale small textures, we can avoid the bloom issues. This would be generally the same method as my game hacks to fix bloom, but it'd target all efb copies instead of just bloom ones. This method would be less buggy, more accurate, and far more widely applicable than per-game hacks, as long as buggy bloom games don't have other small efb copies that may need to be scaled up.
/edit changed code a bit.
// Optional - not sure if needed.
-- Yes I know that could be written better. I can't figure out how to fix ScaleByHalf with game-based ASM hacks, but this code will do it and enable games like Okami and Metroid Prime 3 to be fixed.
-- I could've sworn I saw some game ScaleByHalf(?) upwards (320x src-> 640x dst), but don't know if that's dealt with here. You'd probably want that to be EFB scaled. Or is 640 dst always width = 640 by this point in this code?
-- Some games may want scaled 320x efb copies, but there are definitely games like Okami that suffer from 320x being scaled, so only scaling >320x is a good start.
I'm not sure if there are any sizes between 320 and 640, or above 640, so I guess the code might be simply to "only scale 640x full sized EFB copies".
If this does work, I'd suggest a toggle-able hack to enable it. I'd be happy to test it, if someone could correctly code and build it.
/edit Actually metroid 3 seems to use 320 and smaller efb copies for everything, so this would be the same as disabling scaled efb.
/edit Another option may be to not scale efb copies that are being offset and combined with the previous copy, but I'm not sure what the offset factor is called in the code. It's a float like 1.05 in the game.
It seems to fix Okami, but I only tested for a moment. Fixes Xenoblade. Fixes HOTD Overkill.
x4 resolution. Not the best example of bloom, but I wanted the heat effect included.
Left = no scaling. Middle = EFB Scaling ON. Right = EFB Scaling ON + Don't scale images under 600 pixels wide.
You'll notice the UI "T" is properly scaled up (hard to tell in the picture). The bloom above Toad's head is fixed (not scaled), but the heat haze is a bit blurry. Changing it to not scaling images under 300 width will make the heat haze higher res. Not sure if lower or higher res heat haze is better.
/edit Added Slider version of fix. May have bugs.
So it won't upscale the bloom effects and Metroid Prime 3, alongside with other few games, wouldn't even run at native resolution?
But there are games that even with efb scale off has bloom issues in dolphin, this won't fix those games right, hmm how about an option to disable bloom effects without the need to create a Ar/Gecko code?
Those bloom issues is the most annoying issue atm for me, that's why I would rather turn it off.
BTW: I was thinking if custom textures can edit bloom effects too, if yeah maybe it coud turn it off there too and better yet improve the effect to work at high res.
Native resolution would be fine and this fix would have to be toggle-able like scaled efb copies.
It won't fix games that have issues with efb scale off. There's no way to determine what efb copies are for (without looking at a specific game), so there's no universal way to disable bloom for all games. The only information we have is what type of copy is being made (alpha, contrast, normal), but bloom techniques are so varied and use different types of copies, I don't see that helping.
Could try to disable all efb copies or post processing, but I think very few games would be improved by that.
Bloom is created by taking a picture of a texture, usually low res, then moving it around the source and making it transparent. The only way to turn it off from a texture would be to remove the texture, so that's a no-go. High res textures won't make bloom any better either, unfortunately. Not much to be done from the texture end.
I was going to make a video guide on how the GC/Wii does bloom, but never got around to it. Maybe I should put that back on the agenda. Right now I'm trying to learn how to build dolphin. I want to customize some debugger stuff for myself so I can use newer versions of dolphin.
I imagine if we know the specific textures, rules to apply special rules to them per game based on their hashes should be possible (I think we generate such for the texture exports anyway); and perhaps a better way to resolve other issues caused by scaling when necessary.
No, I don't see that working at all for efb copies. If it sounds like I was going in that direction, I probably over simplified the explanation.
Got it working, pic in top post.
Could you share the build for me test too?
(10-22-2018, 10:17 PM)One More Try Wrote: Got it working, pic in top post.
Given the issues in your example, I'd guess this would need a slider or other input to allow setting the minimum unscaled size?
What do I need to share the build, just dolphin.exe?
@Kolano I think a slider would help with testing. If people test a variety of games, it could probably be narrowed down. Maybe just <300 and <600 options will do. A list of common EFB sizes would also help to narrow down what's needed.
(10-23-2018, 05:42 PM)One More Try Wrote: What do I need to share the build, just dolphin.exe?
Dolphin.exe is enough to run the build if you copy it into an existing Dolphin install, but you would need some additional files if you want someone who never has had Dolphin installed before to be able to use it. See the development build .7z archives for a list of needed files.
Also, you need to upload the source code as well, otherwise you're violating Dolphin's license. Making a fork on GitHub is a good way to do that.

Maybe you remember that Tracy and I started a book club with our sister Tiffany and our best friends a several months ago? We both are avid readers. We are constantly ordering books from Amazon, picking out armloads of books from discount racks, and we are frequent visitors to the library. We buy, borrow, and trade books. Books are swapped between us and our friends so much that we all always have a stack of books to read. Do you enjoy reading? It is seriously my favorite hobby. What's not to love about it? You can learn tons of new things, visit far off places (or completely imaginary worlds), and it's so much fun!
If my future home could have a library in it I would be tickled pink. I know it might not be reasonable to think that I could some day have a library all of my very own, but my home would definitely have to have a comfy spot for reading. If I can't have a library, I definitely need a cozy book nook.
The perfect book nook for a book worm like me would have to be a comfy spot with lots of light. If it could be by a window it would be awesome to have the natural light streaming in. I also imagine that this would be "my spot" as Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory would say. It would be decorated to suit my needs. So what would the perfect book nook need?
ONE // White Book Shelf: If I can't have a library, I need at least one book shelf to display all of my favorite books. My favorites include Pride and Prejudice and the Harry Potter series. This shelf would contain books that I love to reread.
TWO // Pink Stripe Pillow: Pillows are a must because comfort is key. I can read for hours at a time, if no one disturbs me.
THREE // Classic Book Set: Pretty books like these could find a home on my shelves. I love the classics, fantasy books, and mysteries.
FOUR // Diamond Print Chair: A beautiful and comfortable chair is also key. A chair is enough for this spot, because when you are reading you don't need other people sitting around you trying to talk to you. I love chairs that are pretty prints like this one.
FIVE // Table Lamp: You can't read if you can't see. Lamps like this would be great for an end table beside my chair.
SIX // Pink End Table: An end table is needed next to my comfy chair to hold things like a lamp, the book I am currently reading, or my cup of coffee.
SEVEN // Gold Agates: Beautiful agates like these would make excellent bookends for my book shelf. Last Thanksgiving I purchased a set similar to these while Tracy and I were in NYC for the holiday.
EIGHT // Emerald Lattice Print Rug: A rug like this one adds a pop of color to my book nook. Also on those cold Winter days it will keep my feet off the cold hard wood floor.
This is so cute- I wish I had space for a reading nook in my current apartment. Also, I love those Penguin classic editions!


Who would have thought that a quartet made up of three suits, one waistcoat and two lampshades would provide such a diversity of outstanding entertainment and musicianship?
I'm referring to the Budapest Cafe Orchestra (BCO) led by Chris Garrick (violin), Eddie Hession (button accordion), Adrian Zolotuhin (guitar, domra, saz) and Kelly Cantlon (double bass).
This is my first time at a BCO gig, but clearly not so for the canny folks of Inverness here at the impressive Eden Court Theatre as seats are filling fast.
Since its refurbishment in 2007, Eden Court has become a landmark for theatre goers across the Highlands of Scotland. Designed by Law Dunbar and Naismith, the stepped tiered seating plan is set against a backdrop of red panelling. The steel hanging cables with steel platforms each side of the stage add a feeling of strength and physicality to the building.
From the start BCO's format is a winning formula for the audience. Their style incorporates a mix of Eastern European waltzes and Russian exuberance stemming from a mythical kingdom in deepest Harringaria.
Playing a selection of their own compositions mixed with more easily recognisable pieces, the set is goulashed together with humorous interplay between the quartet, resulting in a constant menu of humour and entertainment.
This, however, is the real surprise: The musicianship is world class.
Some of the comic greats are known to have practised routines over and over again to make sure their "mistakes" were executed without error. As Garrick's violin jousts with Hession on button accordion and Zolotuhin on guitar, and I try to follow and match their scale challenges, I'm left pondering exactly many hours of practice have been worked to make sure the timing is spot on. This is very much a "how did they do that?" type spectacle. We are watching extremely skilled musicians at work and play here. No doubt they are enjoying themselves. You can't kid an audience. Well, not for a whole show.
The Greek composition 'Misirlou' which gained worldwide notoriety when Quentin Tarantino used the piece in his film 'Pulp Fiction', is a particular favourite of the gathered Inverness faithful. BCO dip into their 2013 album 'Lacrimoso' taking down the pace with a selection of slower melodies. BCO have been touring the Highlands and Islands each summer since 2011 to an ever increasing fan base. This gig is part of the 'Big Tour of Scotlandia 2015'. It is bonkers, but quaint. When Garrick introduces a medley from their album/opus 'The Gaelic Chronicles', the folks seated in the Highlands capital break into an appreciative round of applause.
Although humour and entertainment is clearly paramount when attending a BCO gig, the musicianship never takes second place. It's a fine balance but the boys from Harringaria execute the task with assured aplomb. Greig's 'Squeeze Box Concerto', a smattering of Stephane Grappelli, film scores and solo riffs demonstrate the vast array of talent on stage. Whilst Garrick's violin virtuosity is a joy to behold, his three colleagues show they are masters of their instruments when allowed to let rip, as they often do during their solo spots.
There is no doubt this audience would have BCO play for another hour, but it's encore time.
A Shetland lullaby slows down proceedings once again. Have no fear BCO know how to leave a crowd wanting more. With much hand-clapping, foot-stomping and a few cries of encouragement, Garrick's bow dashes and darts across the violin strings as a frenzied finale is played out to a delighted audience.
Garrick agrees to an interview when back in Englandia (see he's got me at it now!) for towns and village halls await as their tour rolls on through Scotlandia.
Although he's on time, he apologises for looking a little ruffled. "I've been at Wimbledon this morning," he explains, but not watching the tennis, just entertaining early visitors at the Pimm's tents.
Garrick's priority is water, followed by coffee. He's relaxed. Time hasn't begun to assault his youthful features. He carries an easy manner when in conversation.
I begin by asking Garrick when setting up the yearly tours what are BCO trying to bring to their ever increasing following?
"We enjoy playing the music. Our respective training allows differing pieces to be played. It also means we don't get stuck in playing jazz, or classical. We mix it up. Ideally there is something in our performances everyone enjoys," he enthuses.
Garrick is an outstanding violinist, but just how good is he, I ask? "You've seen me play," he replies. Maybe it's the way I phrased the question, I go again explaining I'm not a musician. I know what I like, but how good is that drummer, or pianist, in some cases I'm not sure. Hence the reason I ask where he ranks himself in terms of ability.
"If people enjoy what they hear, isn't that the main thing?" he knocks it back to me (15-love).
"There isn't any better feeling than playing music you want to play with a full-piece band or orchestra. But to play your own arrangements, to have created a composition and play in front of audiences as I do over the world, I'm fortunate in being able to cross over from so many different musical styles. I want audiences to enjoy the music they've come to hear. It's really that simple." Game set and match, Garrick.
Although Garrick has released six solo albums to critical acclaim ('Different Strokes' was described by 'The Sunday Times' as "The outstanding British album of the year"), it's BCO which has allowed him the freedom to cross over styles and develop his own scores.
"I'm really proud on how we've developed and built a fanbase over the years, and now are playing to full venues on our tours. I think we are onto our seventh album, yes, seventh album, 'The Gaelic Chronicles' being our latest release earlier this year. We have plans to play more gigs, larger venues and engage with younger audiences more and more. BCO doesn't cover an age range. Depending on the venue, it really can be an audience from 16 to infinite years old. We have talked about festivals as well." He also has solo plans. Unfinished business as he describes one of the ideas.

Inside the Black Butterfly Box: June 2018
Rebels and Roses
It has already been a year! In June 2017 Black Butterfly shipped its official box. Since then, we have grown so much and seen may changes, including the addition of a boys box: the Black Dragonfly box. To celebrate our birthday we bring you this special edition inspired by Journi's favorites. Her favorite poem, favorite books and favorite people are featured in this box, all of which have motivated her at some point. She hopes you find as much value in them as she does and find inspiration in their fighting spirit for making a difference, just like they inspired her.

Ellington was not a street by Ntozake Shange
In a reflective tribute to the African-American community of old, noted poet Ntozake Shange recalls her childhood home and the close-knit group of innovators that often gathered there. These men of vision, brought to life in the majestic paintings of artist Kadir Nelson, lived at a time when the color of their skin dictated where they could live, what schools they could attend, and even where they could sit on a bus or in a movie theater.
Yet in the face of this tremendous adversity, these dedicated souls and others like them not only demonstrated the importance of Black culture in America, but also helped issue in a movement that "changed the world." Their lives and their works inspire us to this day, and serve as a guide to how we approach the challenges of tomorrow.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.
Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.
But what Starr does or does not say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

There's always that one member of the family that shows up at an event and has to spoil it for everyone — even in the royal family. According to Newsweek, Princess Michael of Kent, aka Queen Elizabeth's cousin, reportedly wore a racist brooch to meet Meghan Markle for the first time. To no surprise, the internet was quick to call her out. The brooch might have historical ties, but it's definitely not fit for the occasion.
All eyes are always on the royals. Typically, their fashion choices lead to sold-out items and new trends, but not this time. Princess Michael was seen arriving to a Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace wearing a blackamoor brooch. The pin featured a black man in a gold, gem-filled turban. Because nothing says Christmas like an accessory like that.
The brooch was seen loud and clear on the shoulder of her white jacket. It's the timing of pulling the accessory out of her jewelry box that's getting people's attention. This event was the first time that Princess Michael would be meeting Meghan Markle, whose mother is African-American.
According to the Telegraph UK, blackamoor brooches "were once the height of glamour and considered a tribute to the 'exotic' Africans who inspired them." Nowadays the pieces are seen as racist.
If all of that isn't enough to prove that it's a fashion faux pas, tack on the fact that Princess Michael has a history of saying racist things. She's been quoted suggesting that black guests "go back to the colonies," according to Newsweek, on top of a handful of other comments.
The Queen's cousin did issue a statement on the matter though. According to TMZ, a spokesperson says that Princess Michael is "very sorry and distressed" by the matter. The comment doesn't mention if she actually took the brooch off or not. Basically, she doesn't realize how racist the pin is, which could be even worse than if she did.
Another source told TMZ that Princess Michael has learned her lesson and will be retiring the brooch. According to the publication, this isn't the first time that Princess Michael has worn the accessory, but hopefully it will be her last.
Whether you're a celebrity, everyday Joe, or a member of the royal family, Twitter does not hold back. If you wear it, people will see and they will comment on it. And, boy, did they have a lot to say about Princess Michael's brooch.
While just about everyone agrees that the statement piece was wrong to wear, not everyone is surprised to see that she did so. Some people are even hoping that she gets banned form future events. Because fashion is powerful, but not always for the right reasons.
Not exactly the words you want to hear about yourself from a royal commentator.
Fashion lets you wear your opinions right on your sleeve — even racist ones. Whether she meant to offend anyone or not, some people think that sartorial slip is enough to get banned.
Just because it's a historical pin does not mean that it should be worn around with pride. Especially when meeting the first bi-racial member of the royal family.
One more time for the people in the back — RACIST. JEWELRY.
It will be interesting to see how the family deals with events like this in the future.
Honestly though, did no one mention this was a bad time to wear the pin before she left the house?
This seems to sum it up well.
Whether she meant to offend Markle or not, this event is important. Fashion has a way of speaking for you. It's good to know what it will say before you decide to put it on.

Q: Making simple frequency table I am attempting to make a simple table in R. The data I have is
9, 28, 14, 29, 21, 27, 15, 23, 23, 10, 31, 23,
16, 26, 22, 17, 19, 24, 21, 20, 26, 20, 16, 14, 21.

What I want to do is create 6 equal intervals from 5 to 35 and count how many numbers are in each interval. Then I want to create a table that shows the frequency, relative frequency, and percentage for each interval. I want something that looks like this:
Interval   Frequency   Relative Frequency   Percentage
[5, 10]     2           .08                  8
(10, 15]    3           .12                  12
(15, 20]    6           .24                  24
(20, 25]    8           .32                  32
(25, 30]    5           .2                   2
(30, 35]    1           .04                  4

I've tried this
data <- c(9, 28, 14, 29, 21, 27, 15, 23, 23, 10, 31, 23, 16, 26, 22,
17, 19, 24, 21, 20, 26, 20, 16, 14, 21)
intervals = c('[5, 10]', '(10, 15]', '(15, 20]', '(20, 25]', '(25,
30]', '(30, 35]')
frequencies <- hist(data, breaks=seq(5,35,l=7))
table(intervals, frequencies$counts, frequencies$density * 5,
frequencies$density * 500)

but it doesn't work.

A: There are a number of ways to do this, but start with cutting the data into bins, upon which you can call table. as.data.frame.table returns a data.frame very close to what you want. You can use prop.table to add the relative column; and the percent is just that times 100.
x <- c(9, 28, 14, 29, 21, 27, 15, 23, 23, 10, 31, 23, 16, 26, 22, 17, 19, 24, 21, 20, 26, 20, 16, 14, 21)

df <- as.data.frame(table(cut(x, seq(5, 35, 5))))
df$relative <- prop.table(df$Freq)
df$percent <- df$relative * 100

df
#>      Var1 Freq relative percent
#> 1  (5,10]    2     0.08       8
#> 2 (10,15]    3     0.12      12
#> 3 (15,20]    6     0.24      24
#> 4 (20,25]    8     0.32      32
#> 5 (25,30]    5     0.20      20
#> 6 (30,35]    1     0.04       4

In Handicap horse racing, the better horses are given a disadvantage. Conversely, the worse horses are given an advantage. This is done by making the horses carry different weights. A handicapper decides the weight (this weight is known as the impost) each horse should carry. The total weight of the jockey, saddle, and weights (lead) will equal the impost. The weights are carried in lead pads (saddle pads). In Great Britain, there is a central system, operated by the BHA who assign weights. Weights can change (e.g. be increased if a horse wins a race). The most famous handicap race in the world is of course the Grand National. Another example is Australia's Melbourne Cup.
So, if the horses have been handicapped, how do you go about picking a winner?
You could look at the horses form (e.g. past performances, giving more weight to recent performances).
You could look at the ability of the jockey.
Also look at the condition of the ground. If it has been raining recently, the ground may be soft. If there has been a lot of sunny/dry weather the ground may be hard. How do the horses in the race perform under the expected condition of the ground?
Look at the weather in general at the time of the race (e.g. winds, rain). Which horses do badly, or well, under the expected weather conditions?
If you are there (or can see it on TV) watch all the horses body language prior to the race.
You might also get some ideas by watching how odds are changing – this may reflect the opinion of other bettors (but not always).
More advanced methods involving studying speed and pace.
If you can find out where the horse will start it can help. Inside starts (i.e. close to the rail) mean less distance will have to be travelled. However, inside horses can be cut-off by faster horses from the outside.
Hopefully, you have understood how handicap horse racing works.


The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to a whopping $83 million after no one matched all six numbers during Friday night's drawing. The numbers were 16, 25, 27, 29, and 34 with a Mega Ball of 2.
This marks the eighth straight drawing without a jackpot winner, and the prize is continuing to inch closer and closer to that $100 million mark. The last time the jackpot reached $100 million was on August 5 after ten consecutive drawings without a winner.
Although it is purely coincidence, the jackpot has not been won since the multi-state lottery game added its 44th state, Wyoming, to the roster of states who take part in the weekly game.
Mega Millions tickets are sold in 43 states plus the District of Columbia and the U. S. Virgin Islands.
Tickets cost $1 each, and drawings take place on Tuesday and Friday nights.

'India has no legal framework to curb social media data breach'
By Abhinav Singh March 24, 2018 18:12 IST

The recent incident of data breach in Facebook by Cambridge Analytica has put the limelight on the lack of regulations to curb data breach by social media companies in India. Experts with whom THE WEEK spoke to said that though data analytics or data mining is new to politics, it has already been widely used in business as enterprises are mining customer centric data to plan their marketing or digital marketing strategies in order to target the right customers based on their personal information and behavioural patterns.
Data security expert, Rajiv M. Ranjan, founder and MD of Mumbai-based fintech startup BigWin Infotech, is of the opinion that Facebook defended itself from the latest controversy about social media "Breach of Trust" by saying that the incident wasn't a breach because users consented to share their data to a third party app.
"While security experts agree no systems were breached, the concerns about the Facebook debacle points to worrying overarching issues around security, privacy and personal data harvested by social media companies. It may sound controversial to call social media nascent given its current pervasiveness, but the industry is in its infancy from a legal and regulatory perspective, and the complexities social media has introduced into the business environment challenges every organisation today," Ranjan told THE WEEK.
Ranjan acknowledges that some regulations do exist to regulate social media provider's control over end-user data, including a 2011 consent decree that mandates the users should be notified that they explicitly gave consent that data is shared beyond the privacy settings that were established.
Another expert in data mining and data analytics, Saurabh Saha, Director Industry Outreach Institute of Product Leadership, feels that incidents like these from market leaders such as Facebook do show us the ugly side of trusting social media platforms with our data. "If data is core to Facebook's business then breaches like these should have been nipped in the bud when they came to know about it two years back. This incident has also jeopardized the democratic election process that was the hope for most people around the world due to its sanctimonious nature. This is an extremely sensitive issue and it would make customers lose faith in data mining companies including companies based out of India," Saha told THE WEEK.
Saha also said that if proper data security measures are not put in place, a lot of analytics companies whose business models revolve around customer data would find a major chunk of their businesses evaporating, to say the least. "Indian companies would have to invest a lot strategically around data security to ensure breaches like these never happen," further remarked Saha.
Some experts such as Kris Lakshmikanth, founder and CEO of the recruitment firm Head Hunters India Limited, is of the opinion that such kind of data breaches can affect the business of data mining firms in India. "Presently, there are no concrete restrictions or regulations for data breaches by social media companies in India. When we sign up for many social media sites and apps we just blindly agree to the terms and conditions without seeing their clauses. Many of the customer data is bought by enterprises and companies from social media companies who in turn take the help of data scientists and data analytics firms to mine the data to build some customer centric strategies that is very important in this highly competitive environment. However, if some restrictions are announced it may hamper the healthy growth of the data mining firms in India," Lakshmikanth told THE WEEK.
On the other hand, experts such as Alok Shende of Mumbai-based Ascentius Consulting feels that data mining and data analytics has become a very common thing among Indian firms particularly, banks and online e-commerce companies, who mine customer data using data analytics.
"When a user has allowed or given his consent to use the data, the server or the machine will mine that data. The data which is being generated is huge and usually used by companies to study their customer and to target them as per their personal preferences. However, there is no legal restriction in India around it and there is no clear cut definition around data breach by social media companies in our country. I do not see that the data mining industry will be hit by such incidents as it has been happening for many years and that has now become a norm in the industry," said Shende.
Interestingly, the Indian marketing analytics industry's present annual revenue is pegged to be around $2.03 billion and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.8 per cent till 2020. As per a Business to Customer (B2C) Marketing Automation Report India, 2017 launched by Research NXT and Netcore Solutions, 29 per cent of marketers believed that it is important to have the right marketing mix in order to gain better Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). According to the report, 28 per cent of marketers were considering the use of analytics, while 18 per cent had already included analytics at the core of their marketing strategy. The report also emphasized that analytics is going to play an important role in automating and improving customer engagement. This, in turn, is going to help the marketers get a better conversion rate optimisation by enabling brands to engage in a personalised manner with their customers, leading to an increased CLV.

Balanced Support Myc-P™ was formulated to target atypical and difficult microbial issues. A combination of synergistic herbs was used to strengthen its effectiveness. Supportive herbs for the immune and detoxification systems were also added to aid the body's healing process. Non-soy phospholipids form the base of the tincture to increase absorption and delivery of herbs to the tissues. Myc-P™ may be used with other microbial support tinctures or prescriptions for additional microbial support.
2. How should this product be taken if one is also taking other herbal tinctures or homeopathics? If you are taking other herbal tinctures, we recommend taking them in a different cup of water and wait 15 minutes between products.
3. Is it OK to take Myc-P™ while taking BLt™ or Crypto-Plus™ ? Yes, however we recommend taking them in separate cups of water, with 15 minutes in between. If you are new to the products, it is best to use the first product for at least three days so that your body has time to adjust to it before adding the other product.
4. What type of alcohol is used for extraction of the nutritional constituents and is it gluten-free? We use organic cane alcohol which is gluten-free.
5. Why do you use alcohol as the base? It is the most efficacious approach to pull the active constituents from the roots of the herbals. It also is easily absorbed into the stomach, bringing the herbal constituents with it during the absorption process.

San Francisco International Airport purchases six new electric buses
Today Proterra announced that San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has purchased six 40′ Proterra Catalyst E2 electric buses and three 60 kW Proterra plug-in chargers, joining a growing list of airports across North America transitioning to electric buses for airport ground transportation. The new battery-electric bus fleet will reduce Bay Area emissions and support SFO's goal of carbon neutrality by 2021 while cutting its bus operating costs.
As one of the fastest-growing airports in the U.S., SFO has ambitious plans in place to reduce its carbon footprint. SFO's Five-Year Strategic Plan sets goals of carbon neutrality across airport-controlled operations by 2021 and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from a 1990 baseline. Part of that plan includes the creation of a Clean Vehicle Policy to promote the adoption and deployment of low emission vehicles by both airport departments and ground transportation providers. The new battery-electric Proterra Catalyst buses will replace six diesel buses in its current operating fleet and will eliminate more than 23 million pounds of greenhouse gas tailpipe emissions over the 12-year life of the vehicles. SFO expects to purchase additional battery-electric buses to replace its CNG vehicles, for a greener, more modern fleet.
"Earth Day serves as a call to action; an opportunity for us to reaffirm our commitment to the environment," said Airport Director Ivar C. Satero. "SFO is an airport industry leader in sustainability, and we have set big goals to achieve zero net energy use, zero waste, and carbon neutrality. By deploying San Francisco's first public battery-electric buses, we're on the path to zero emissions in our ground transportation services, leading the way in our quest to be the world's most sustainable airport."
The new electric buses will integrate batteries that are designed and manufactured down the street from the airport at Proterra's Silicon Valley headquarters in Burlingame, California. With 440 kWh of battery capacity on board, the buses will be part of SFO's fleet that currently provides buses to shuttle passengers between the terminals, long-term parking garages and other airport locations along daily routes.
SFO joins other California airports that are leading the electrification trend across ground transportation fleets, including Sacramento International Airport (SMF) and Silicon Valley's Norman Y. Mineta San José International Airport (SJC). Beyond California, five additional airports across the country have chosen Proterra electric vehicles for their ground transportation needs, including Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), Honolulu International Airport (HNL), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
"San Francisco International Airport has long been a leader in sustainability and joins other forward-thinking airports around the country in transitioning ground fleets to 100 percent battery-electric buses," said Proterra CEO Ryan Popple. "We are proud to help one of our local airports offer superior service and meet its sustainability goals while also providing reduced vehicle maintenance costs and lower total cost of ownership."

Oman Air climbs to first place in one of Heathrow's greenest years yet
Oman Air has landed first place in the latest Heathrow "Fly Quiet and Green" league table, due to its use of 'Continuous Decent Approach' which helps to reduce fuel burn and minimise noise by arriving aircraft. This achievement builds on the strides made in the previous quarter (Q3) which saw Oman Air leaping up 26 spots after phasing out their older aircraft and replacing them with the ultra-quiet and green 787 Dreamliners. Oman Air's drastic improvement shows the impact technology can have on an airline's environmental performance and the importance of the "Fly Quiet and Green" league – the UK's first in advocating sustainable action.
The latest Heathrow "Fly Quiet and Green" league table publishes the top 50 busiest airlines at Heathrow on seven noise and emission metrics from October to December 2018. The results show Heathrow airlines have a clear commitment to modernising their fleet and working to adopt techniques which will help to reduce the airport's impact on local communities. In addition to this public ranking, Heathrow encourages new technology through environmental pricing incentives, which reduce landing charges for airlines operating their greenest and quietest aircraft at our airport. The top environmental performers such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A350s now make up over a tenth of planes at Heathrow.
Other airlines at the top of the League rankings included British Airways (short haul fleet), which jumped up to second place due to its improved punctuality benefitting both local communities and passengers alike. SAS placed third, moving up three places in the latest table due to the introduction of A320 neos to their fleet. Icelandair earns most improved airline, jumping an astounding 40 places to take the 11th spot. The airline has worked to improve its use of Continuous Decent Approach, whilst sticking more closely to the designated flight paths set for pilots, which assists the provision of predictable respite for local communities.
This news comes shortly after the conclusion of Heathrow's eight-week Airspace and Future Operations consultation during which local residents were given the opportunity to share their views on the airport's future airspace design – both for the existing two runways and as part of the proposed expansion. Heathrow's consultation is part of a nationwide move to modernise the country's airspace for the first time since the 1960s, potentially boosting punctuality for passengers by reducing the need for routine stacking as well as providing guaranteed respite for the airport's local communities and reducing airplane emissions.
Matt Gorman, Heathrow's Director of Sustainability, said:
"As we prepare to expand our airport, we're working with airlines to encourage fierce competition for the top spot of the 'Fly Quiet and Green' league table and it's brilliant to see more airlines vying for pole position. As airlines modernise their fleets, we'll also be engaging with local communities to modernise the UK's airspace, enabling aircraft to more efficiently use the skies around us, increasing punctuality whilst reducing emissions and noise in future."
Abdul Aziz Al Raisi, Chief Executive Officer, Oman Air said:
"We follow Heathrow's Quiet and Green league table very closely and it is indeed gratifying to see Oman Air rank first for the fourth quarter of 2018. Moving to the quieter, more efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner has had a positive impact and shows our commitment to operating the most environmentally friendly aircraft across our growing international network. This is indeed a proud moment to see our efforts recognised by one of the world's leading airports."

Thousands order food to support Gezi Park protesters
ISTANBUL - Hürriyet
Turkey's leading food delivery chain has said it has received over 1,000 orders to be delivered to Gezi Park. DHA photo
Turkey's leading food ordering chain, yemeksepeti.com, received more than 1,000 orders to be delivered to Gezi Park, in an act of solidarity with the protesters in central Istanbul.
More than 1,000 people ordered food from their home computers to send lunch to protesters in the area, including pizzas, hamburgers, and wraps.
"We have received orders from all over the country and even from outside Turkey," Nevzat Aydın, CEO of Yemek Sepeti ("Food Basket").
Aydın said those ordering had written locations near to the park as the delivery addresses. He admitted that there had been delays in deliveries, but said eventually there were no problems at all.
Activists have been staging sit-in events at Gezi Park, which was subject to a renovation plan that requires the trees to be cut down for the building of a shopping mall. After the initial protests were intervened with police attacks, the events snowballed into anti-government protests across the country.

We've got a confession to make—at the risk of appearing to indulge in back-patting, we've avoided giving our spectacular Services & Support team the recognition they deserve. They're the unsung heroes of Bynder; the folks who help our customers get the very best out of both our digital asset management solution, and their partnership with us.
They're naturals, don't you think?
While there's a cornucopia of information about our product available via our Resources & Downloads, the post-sale client journey is somewhat paved in mystery.
That's why we sat down with Almar (Head of Onboarding), Heidi (VP of Customer Success) and Rutger (Global Head of Customer Support) to discover what happens after the paperwork is sorted—straight from the horses' mouth!
What does the typical onboarding process look like for small and mid enterprises?
Firstly, we contact the client to schedule a kickoff meeting, where we go over deliverables, stakeholders, and success and risk factors; and agree on deadlines and milestones. We follow this up with weekly calls, and track progress and host all communication via a shared project management platform. Typically, onboarding is completed within 90 days, at which point the client feels comfortable using the platform themselves.
What are the main benefits your team provides to a client?
We consult on best practices based on actual experience and feedback from other clients. New clients all benefit from this extensive knowledge of Bynder use cases, and from an entire team's knowledge of the tool.
All our Onboarding Consultants (who are both project manager and product specialist in one) are Bynder employees. We see onboarding as a key element of long-term customer success, so we go above and beyond to ensure the tool (which is out-of-the-box) is configured to match the client's business needs.
We believe in the power of personal communication. Every client receives personalized trainings, calls, and meetings; none rely on generalized webinars or knowledge bases alone.
At which point in this process do you celebrate success?
At every milestone and major decision—this usually happens with every deliverable going live. By then, we've incorporated all test-user feedback and can confidently sign off on those deliverables. Clients are obviously happy with this since it means their ideas are tried and tested before implementation.
What would you say your team is best at?
We really help our clients drill down on their use cases; identifying success and risk factors, assisting with change management, checking up on progress and finding workarounds when necessary is something unheard of with other out-of-the-box solutions.
What do you believe is your team's point of difference?
We don't treat onboarding as a professional service, but see it as the first step of Customer Success. We will never stop implementing something simply because we run out of time, nor will we bill the client extra hours without having a discussion together about whether or not it is reasonable (depending on deliverables left, deadlines, relationship status, etc).
We are also very open to feedback coming from our clients, and integrating that either via the way we work, or by creating product improvement requests. We're close to the product and kick off the long-term relationship the client has with Bynder.
What are the top 3 services you think a client is in need of the most when it comes to your team's work?
Personalized consultancy and use case verification, training, and technical implementation.
Can you share any interesting facts and figures about your team's work people should be aware of?
We have a high client NPS (9/10), we're able to visit almost all clients onsite (within Europe,) the average length of onboarding is 59 days, we've got the highest eNPS of the company, and our net retention rate is 105%.
Bynder's onboarding, development, and launch support have been nothing short of outstanding. Our digital assets are in great hands, and our users are thrilled with the tool as well. They have been incredibly attentive to our business and we can't recommend them enough.
What does a typical CS process look like for small and mid enterprises?
Customer Success first spends time with the Sales and Onboarding teams to make sure all relevant knowledge about the customer is transferred to the post-sales teams and to ensure a smooth transition for the client. We then join a kickoff meeting with the Onboarding team and the customer to review everything, either via a call or onsite.
As implementation progresses, Customer Success holds a strategy session with the client where we discuss goals and advise them on best practices for their rollout.
We provide guidance for launch planning, communication, and collecting feedback. Customer Success also leads training for users—sometimes this is done with a "Train the Trainer" approach and sometimes, directly with the end users. This is all customized to the client's needs.
We are a trusted advisor for the customer on an ongoing basis, helping to make sure they always have the resources they need to be successful, increase user engagement, and drive as much value as possible from their relationship with Bynder.
We deliver a world-class experience to marketing, creative teams and beyond at companies of all sizes, globally. Our mission is to help our customers achieve their goals, and drive ROI.
At which point in this process do you celebrate success with the customer?
We celebrate milestones but we also like to "surprise and delight" our customers. Milestones include launch, significant expansion, high NPS scores, advocacy (willingness to participate in a case study, references, and so on), appreciation for onsite meetings or coming to a Bynder event, giving product feedback or participating in beta testing.
What do you think your team excels at?
Service with a personal touch, and the ability to build genuine, caring, strong relationships with our customers.
What are the top three services you think a client is in need of most when it comes to your team's work?
Advice on strategy, communication and ongoing adoption as well as understanding use cases and being able to make recommendations.
Being able to secure the right resources from Bynder to drive additional value and ROI, whether it is for integrating adjacent technologies or rolling out to new groups.
Liaison with the product team to ensure feedback helps to inform our product roadmap.
We provide help whenever and wherever help is needed. All our people are trained technical specialists, and the first person you speak with is the person who resolves your issue—there is always one point of contact per ticket.
Our team is 100% in-house; we don't outsource customer care to a call center. We're based in three different locations (Amsterdam, Boston and San Mateo) and speak several languages. We're fast and knowledgeable, and our service is personalized—because the team is small (fourteen), clients often deal with the same person, and a relationship is built. Plus, a small team means we can share learnings efficiently and constantly improve.
Every time a ticket is closed, clients are asked to review their experience, and our customer satisfaction rate is 97%. We're all very proud of that.


It is tantalizing for the modern visitor to imagine that within the folklore surrounding a particular prehistoric monument somehow, through the millennia, there remains an echo of the individual interred there.
The story of the Dolmen of the Four Maols involves betrayal, familial loyalty, murder, and finally justice and a brutal capital punishment. How better to add some spice to the archaeological record of a megalithic monument?
Maol can mean "bare" or "bald," but usually has the meaning of "a servant," or "a devotee." The four Maols were brothers: Mael Mac Deoraidh, Maelcroin, Maeldalua, and Maelseanaigh. Their foster bother was Ceallach, and it was he against whom they plotted, and murdered.
Calleach was the rightful heir to the kingship of Connaught after his father died in battle in 547 CE. He left the seminary where he was studying to return home to the throne. But when he arrived there he discovered that his cousin Colman had seized power. Calleach did not contest the crown, but instead returned to his studies and eventually rose in the ranks of the clergy to become Bishop of Kilmoremoy (now Ballina).
After Colman died the kingship passed to his son, Guaire. Concerned that Bishop Calleach would someday return to claim his rightful place on the throne, Guaire approached the four brothers and, in return for promises of land and wealth, had them murder the bishop and hide his body in the trunk of a tree.
And seized them at the ancient Flood of Moy.
Today archaeologists understand that this monument dates from c. 2,000 BCE. Therefore, whatever the truth of the story of the four Maols, the monument clearly was not purpose-built as their tomb. It's entirely possible that the murderers were interred under a monument that had already stood on the hill since the Bronze Age.

"Do you think it's wise to even consider pulling someone like a Sherrod Brown or an Elizabeth Warren out of the Untied States Senate at a time when Democrats are trying to win the body back?" MSNBC's Joy Reid asked the Nevada Democrat.
"If we have a Republican governor in any of those states, the answer is not only no — but hell no. I would do whatever I can, and I think most of my Democratic colleagues here would say the same thing," Reid said on MSNBC.
The issue, of course, is that a Republican governor would appoint a fellow Republican to the vacant seat if the Democratic national ticket won, perhaps fatally undercutting what would otherwise be a Democratic majority in the next Congress.
This objection, of course, only makes sense if Democrats have exactly 50 Senate seats the day after the general election. Otherwise, the loss of one seat, however lamentable, is peanuts if the senator in question is of tangible value to the ticket, as (arguably) Warren and perhaps Brown would be.
Beyond that, it's worth mentioning that all Senate vacancies are not filled in the same manner. In Massachusetts, as a matter of fact, the governor's interim appointee only serves until a special election, which must be called within 145 to 160 days after the vacancy arises. If, for example, Warren were to be elected vice-president on November 8, she could resign her seat immediately, and Governor Charlie Baker would have to hold a special election by mid-April, in which Democrats would almost certainly be heavily favored so soon after a Democratic national victory. Even if the Warren seat wound up being the tiebreaker for control, Republicans would hang on to the Senate for less than three months.
But there's another scenario that eliminates even this risk: If Warren is chosen as veep, she could resign her seat immediately and force Baker to hold a special election before the end of 2016. Yes, a Baker-appointed interim would deprive the Democrats of a Senate seat in the waning days of this Congress, but it's not like the Legislative branch is really doing anything of great importance, is it?

I found myself in the hospital not long ago to be checked over for some pain that was giving me grief. I'm generally a rather healthy guy who'll usually experience nothing more serious than the common cold. Consequently, I rarely set foot in a hospital.
Occasionally, I've visited the emergency wing over the years to be examined for such things as poison ivy, the removal of thorns from awkward places and a follicle infection. The latter was something I didn't even know existed, but I felt the need for a doctor to explain to me why, at the age of 40, I had suddenly broken out in facial acne. I took it upon myself to grow a beard to mask my condition.
Fast forward to late 2018. Some recent abdominal pain prompted me to visit the hospital and have my condition checked out. As is typically the case, I sat in the emergency waiting room for about three hours before I was summoned into a general examination area divided into about six sections by pullback curtains. I was instructed by the nurse to strip down to my skivvies and cover myself up with a gown I tied at the back and another one worn atop it that I tied at the front. Then she handed me a vial for a urine sample.
This certainly wasn't my debut in having to produce a urine sample. Peeing into a tiny vessel isn't a big deal. The tough part is handing it back in. I don't want other people to see my pee, and so I try the best I can to conceal it from view on my way back from the bathroom. There were no pockets in either of the gowns I was wearing. Hiding my pee sample from the eyes of other patients, however, was a higher priority than worrying about my clashing attire.
I wrapped my hand around the vial as best I could and pressed it against my side, hoping not to draw any attention to the fact that my arms weren't swinging as I walked. I had forgotten how warm pee is to the touch, even through plastic.
Seriously? I was no more than five feet away from this woman, and the only barrier between us was a flimsy curtain. I had been hooked up to an IV drip a short time earlier, so there was nowhere for me to go to avoid this inevitable assault to two of my senses. With my left hand incapacitated by the IV hookup, I had only one hand available to plug my nose and cover both ears. I was going to have to sacrifice at least one of my orifices.
With my one free hand hovering above my nose, ready to pinch it at a moment's notice, I grit my teeth while listening to a succession of "oomphs" and ugghs" and an assortment of other nasty noises as this woman was bearing down hard. The grunting finally stopped and the woman told the nurse she was unable to go.
"Saints, be praised!" I muttered under my breath. Don't get me wrong. I felt bad for this woman and sincerely hoped she was able to overcome whatever ailment it was that brought her to the hospital in the first place, but the timing of her constipation was certainly appreciated.
A physician ultimately came to see me to diagnose my problem, but first he sent me to another wing of the hospital for a series of scans. A nurse arrived with a wheelchair to shuttle me over, but this chair wasn't equipped with any apparatus for me to place my feet. Forced to hover my feet in the air for the trip down the maze of corridors, I was grateful to be wearing underwear beneath the twin gowns that barely reached my knees and billowed upward as the nurse briskly pushed the wheelchair forward.
When all was said and done, I was relieved to learn my condition wasn't as bad as I had feared, and I was given the green light to go home armed with a couple of prescriptions.
It's funny how a hospital can strip an individual of his dignity. He may enter the building wearing a business suit and moments later is garbed in a revealing gown – that becomes even more revealing when he's pushed around in a wheelchair – and is asked to relieve himself into a transparent cup and pinch a deuce into a bedpan. I suppose things could be worse, and even a lot worse.
I cringe when I hear the words "catheter" or "digital prostate exam" or "colonoscopy." It's time to start eating better and exercising regularly. I don't want to be hospitalized again for a long, long time.


TEMPE, Ariz. -- Nearly six months after former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Max Hall was arrested for shoplifting from a Best Buy and possessing cocaine and drug paraphernalia, Hall called himself a "closet drug addict" in an interview with the Salt Lake Tribune.
Hall said as a player he turned to Oxycontin, cocaine and alcohol to help relieve the pain associated with concussions and shoulder surgeries. According to the article, Hall's usage of drugs and alcohol "got bad" during his two seasons with the Cardinals -- his rookie year of 2010 and the next season 2011, which ended when he was waived/injured that August.
Hall reportedly got clean and then reverted back to using drugs and alcohol over the next three years, which included a stint in the Canadian Football League.
"It put my life in a downward spiral," Hall said. "It was tough. ...I got caught up in it bad."
After his football career ended, Hall continued using Oxycontin.
"The cravings you have for it, I can't describe how nasty that is," he said.
Hall was the offensive coordinator at Gilbert High School in Arizona when he was arrested on Aug. 30, 2014. He said he doesn't remember much about that day other than sitting in the back of a police car after getting busted. Hall admitted to police he had used cocaine that day.
Hall called it the "lowest point of my life."
He said the magnitude of being arrested or the severity of his addition didn't settle in until a couple days after his arrest.
"It hit me," Hall said. "I thought, 'I'm tired of this s---. It's ruining my life.' I thought my wife [and two young kids] might leave me. That's when I realized I had to do whatever it took to get this done. But it was different than sports. You can't just get mad and will yourself to do it. That worked for me in football. But, with this, you need more than mental toughness.
"The hardest thing for me was, for the first time in my life, I had to be transparent, I had to be open and honest, I had to be humble. I had to dig deep and ask for help. I was powerless. I couldn't beat this thing on my own. I needed help. My wife and family supported me. The support [from friends] has been overwhelming. Humility is a big, big thing. I've been blessed to rise up out of that and get my life back in order."
Hall then added: "Chasing a pill or chasing a drink is a crappy way to live your life."
Hall went through three months of rehab and is still working on staying clean. The former BYU quarterback said 90 percent of the people he encounters have been helpful. Then he joked: "even Utah fans."
To help him stay sober, Hall said he has readings he goes through every day, attends Alcoholic Anonymous meetings, sees a counselor and is involved with his church.
"I'm lucky to be sober today, but tomorrow I could have a bad day and slip up," Hall said. "And it can happen that fast. I take it seriously and just do everything I need to do to stay sober."


Do I Need to Sign Up for Medicare if I am Still Working at 65?
More and more Americans are working past the age of 65 which is the eligible age for Medicare. If you are approaching your 65th birthday, and you are not planning on retiring then this is what you need to know!
Currently, if your employer has 20 or more employees, you don't have to enroll in Medicare if you don't want to. Your health insurance through your employer is your primary, which means they pay your medical bills first. You can delay enrollment into Medicare once you retire.
You may however, choose to drop your employer coverage, enroll into Medicare and join a private health plan. You will need to compare the cost of coverage with your employer versus enrolling into Medicare and obtaining your own coverage. Many of our clients have dropped their group coverage and joined Medicare because they would save money on their monthly premium or have richer benefits.
If you work for a smaller company with fewer than 20 employees, you must sign up for Medicare as soon as you are eligible. With small companies, Medicare is the primary payer. If you don't sign up, but stick with your group plan, the group plan can refuse to pay your claims. Also, when you do finally sign up for Medicare, you may be faced with late enrollment penalties.
If you keep your insurance coverage through your employer, you'll have a special enrollment period after you leave your job. You can sign up for Medicare and enroll into a Supplemental plan and/or drug plan without being penalized.
Some employers offer retiree health benefits for a period of time after you leave the company. If you have one of these retiree plans, you still need to sign up for Medicare. Medicare is considered the primary payer with retiree insurance plans, so if you don't enroll, your corporate plan may not pay.
COBRA covers health benefits for up to 18 months after you leave your job. Medicare is still the primary payer if you have insurance through COBRA. If you are using COBRA for your insurance benefits, you need to sign up for Medicare as soon as you are eligible.
What happens if you don't sign up Medicare?
Missing your enrollment into Medicare while you are still working or on COBRA can result in penalties and delayed coverage.
Under Medicare rules, it's the day you actually leave active employment, not the day your COBRA or retiree benefits end, that matters. After you leave your job, you have an eight-month special enrollment period to sign up for Medicare and a Supplement plan, if you choose one. Miss it, and you could be without coverage for many months.
How do I sign up for Medicare while working?
You can sign up for Medicare either online at www.ssa.gov , by phone or by visiting your local Social Security office. Your initial enrollment period starts three months before your birthday month and end three months after your birthday month.
Whatever you're considering, it's very important to talk to your employer's benefits coordinator before you decide. Your benefits may change if you enroll in Medicare while working, even if it's just Part A.
Get the facts from your employer and then contact us. We can help you compare the cost of your employer coverage against the cost of Medicare as primary coverage. You'll get free guidance on which route will be most cost effective.
We know that this may be a confusing and a lot of information to digest! That's what agents like us are here for! Please feel free to contact us directly (844) 817-0878.

12-Year-Old Boy and His Dog Die in Oregon Wildfires
by Chris Haney September 11, 2020

On Wednesday, a 12-year-old boy was found dead beside his dog after wildfires blazed through towns near Lyons, Oregon. The boy, Wyatte Tofte, supposedly ran out of his home as the fires closed in. Officials found the bodies of Wyatte and his dog alongside each other after the wildfires passed through the area.
Wyatte's grandmother, Peggy Mosso, also died in the fire Wednesday. The boy's mother, Angela Mosso, is in the hospital in an intensive care unit after suffering severe burns.
Christopher Tofte, Wyatte's father, confirmed the two deaths to NBC affiliate KKGW. Lonnie Bertalotto, Wyatte's uncle and Peggy's son, also confirmed the deaths in a post on Facebook late Wednesday.
"Don't take anything in life for granted and make the best of everyday," posted Bertalotto.
Wyatte was the great-grandson of Roger Tofte, the creator of Oregon fantasy theme park The Enchanted Forest. Three generations of the Tofte family worked at the theme park before the wildfires, according to its website.
Additionally, the Enchanted Forest confirmed the deaths in a post on Facebook. Wyatte was "loved and adored by all of his family and friends" the post read. Likewise, it said Peggy was "a loved and important member of our extended family."
"We ask for privacy and love right now," the park's statement ended .
"I can say personally, and on behalf of all our first responders, our hearts go out to the family," Marion County Sheriff Joe Kast told KKGW, saying their investigation into the deaths is "ongoing."
Multiple Wildfires Merge and Devastate Oregon
According to the U.S. Incident Information System, the Santiam Fire that took the life of Tofte and Mosso started on August 16. It began in the Opal Creek Wilderness, around six miles north of Detroit, Oregon.
The Beachie Creek Fire fueled its rapid progression. In addition, it grew because of "a series of small fires largely caused by downed power lines and other ignition sources throughout the area." The huge fires have since combined into the Lionshead Fire east of the Detroit Lake.
The Lionshead Fire began late Sunday when lightning struck in the area of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation.
Katy O'Hara, a spokesperson for Pacific Northwest Incident Management Team 3, the interagency federal team fighting the Lionshead fire, said extremely low visibility had impeded fire response on Wednesday.
"Crews continued aggressively working to strengthen lines of the fire on the eastern side of the cascades on the Warm Springs Reservation in preparation for the predicted westerly wind shift forecasted for later this afternoon," O'Hara stated Thursday.

Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository (visible using git branch -r), and creates and checks out an initial branch that is forked from the cloned repositorycqs currently active branch.
Borrow the objects from reference repositories specified with the --reference options only to reduce network transfer, and stop borrowing from them after a clone is made by making necessary local copies of borrowed objects. This option can also be used when cloning locally from a repository that already borrows objects from another repository---the new repository will borrow objects from the same repository, and this option can be used to stop the borrowing.
Instead of pointing the newly created HEAD to the branch pointed to by the cloned repositorycqs HEAD, point to <name> branch instead. In a non-bare repository, this is the branch that will be checked out. --branch can also take tags and detaches the HEAD at that commit in the resulting repository.
Clone only the history leading to the tip of a single branch, either specified by the --branch option or the primary branch remotecqs HEAD points at. Further fetches into the resulting repository will only update the remote-tracking branch for the branch this option was used for the initial cloning. If the HEAD at the remote did not point at any branch when --single-branch clone was made, no remote-tracking branch is created.
