Detection and Tracking of Point Features

The factorization method described in this series of reports requires an algorithm to track the motion of features in an image stream. Given the small inter-frame displacement made possible by the factorization approach, the best tracking method turns out to be the one proposed by Lucas and Kanade in 1981. The method defines the measure of match between fixed-size feature windows in the past and current frame as the sum of squared intensity differences over the windows. The displacement is then defined as the one that minimizes this sum. For small motions, a linearization of the image intensities leads to a Newton-Raphson style minimization. In this report, after rederiving the method in a physically intuitive way, we answer the crucial question of how to choose the feature windows that are best suited for tracking. Our selection criterion is based directly on the definition of the tracking algorithm, and expresses how well a feature can be tracked. As a result, the criterion is optima...

Ancient Greece Coins Money
From the start of around 600 BC, the entire Greek city-states started to make its own types of Ancient Greek Coin. A lot of the coins which are available in ancient Greece were made of silver.
They were made by simply taking a tiny little lump of silver and then putting the lump on an iron mold and then striking this mold using a hammer which had a different kind of mold in it. this way a picture could be squashed into both of the sides at the similar time.
The different city-states had different coin pictures. The Athenians had a picture of the owl of Athena on the coin. The ones from Corinth had the picture of Pegasus, the flying horse. The monetary system for them was similar to the one we had today.
Some Ancient Greek Coin meant more in value than the others. The coin with the smaller value was called an obol and usually, those laborers who dug ditches or unloaded boats would get around two to three obols a day.
Ancient Greek Coin
All of the designs which were there on the ancient Greek coins would vary a tiny little bit from year to year. This helped numismatists make an assumption of the year on which a coin was made.
After they had been contoured by the Romans they stopped making ancient Greek coins. Every Greek city-state would actually make their own silver coins and hence these coins would look different from the others. This way you could tell which city-state the ancient Greek coins came from.
The Ancient Greek Coin actually had three periods. The Archaic period, the Classical period and also the Hellenistic period. The very first coins were issued in the Archaic period which was before 600 BC. Then came the classical period where the coins where a high level of technology, as well as aesthetic quality, was reached. Large cities had started to produce a huge amount of gold as well as silver coins.
Finally came the Hellenistic period where the Greek culture had started to spread throughout the rest of the world. Various Greek-speaking kingdoms also started to be established in places like Egypt, Syria and so on. Since the kingdoms were actually a lot wealthier, the coins were also being produced in mass orders. But then these ancient Greek coin didn't have the aesthetics of the previous age.

"Lord, teach us to pray." This request from the disciples (Luke 11:1) is quite puzzling. These were Jewish men–men who from the time they could speak were taught how to walk and talk with God. They knew the Psalms–the prayer book of Israel. Perhaps not all the disciples had them memorized like the religious leaders of the day. But they knew them. They loved them. They sang them. If anyone knew how to pray, it would be these Jewish men who were instructed in the way of the Hebrew scriptures.
Because of this reality, the question is also quite humble, quite profound. It was a blow to the ego to ask for help.
In my short time as a pastor in a local congregation, I have found that many people, like the disciples, are saying, "Lord, teach us to pray." It makes good sense, of course. If the disciples, who spent time with the Incarnate Son of God, needed to be taught how to pray, we probably need it, too. Many people find themselves at a loss when it comes to conversation with God. It may be because they don't know some basic things about God. It may be because they are not immersing themselves in the Scriptures. It may be because they were concerned about having "bad theology" when they pray. It may be because they don't make time for it. The list goes on and on.
Whatever the reasons, I've come to see that one of my primary roles as a pastor is to be a praying man and help others pray. It's been a grace-wrought burden for several months now. I'm still learning how to pray; yet at the same time, I want to lead like Jesus and help others pray.
My secularized schooling had shaped my educational outlook into something with hardly any recognizable continuities with most of the church's history. I had come into the parish seeing its great potential as a learning center, a kind of mini-university in which I was the resident professor.
And then one day, in a kind of shock of recognition, I saw that it was in fact a worship center. I wasn't prepared for this. Nearly all of my preparation for being a pastor had taken place in a classroom, which chapels and sanctuaries ancillary to it. But these people I was now living with were coming, with centuries of validating precedence, not to get facts on the Philistines and Pharisees but to pray. They were hungering to grow in Christ, not bone up for an examination in dogmatics. I began to comprehend the obvious: that the central and shaping language of the church's life has always been its prayer language.
Out of that recognition a conviction grew: that my primary educational task as a pastor was to teach people to pray. I did not abandon, and will not abandon, the task of teaching about the faith, teaching the content of the gospel, the historical backgrounds of biblical writings, the history of God's people. I have no patience with and will not knowingly give comfort to obscurantist or anti-intellectual tendencies in the church. But there is an educational task entrusted to pastors that is very different from that assigned to professors (p. 89).
Indeed, my task is much different than a seminary professor. So in the coming days/weeks, I hope to write several posts reflecting on the intersection of pastoral ministry and the practice of prayer.

An appeal to have an eight year-old boy's record expunged for a suspension he received for biting a Pop-Tart into the shape of a gun has been denied.
The attorney for Josh Welch, the boy who made national headlines after nibbling his pastry into a gun, said Monday that a top school official has denied an appeal to have the boy's record expunged.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the family's attorney, Robin Ficker, met with school officials last month, but no resolution was reached.
Ficker said the matter then went to the superintendent, Kevin Maxwell, whose office responded with a letter notifying the attorney that the appeal request had been denied.
But, Ficker isn't giving up.
"I've spoken to Mr. Welch, and we're definitely going to appeal to the board of education," Ficker said.
As "Right Views" previously reported, Josh Welch was recently presented with a lifetime membership to the National Rifle Association.

Laat Panahi, Rasoulof en Al-Ahmad vrij!
Mohammad Rasoulof
Dit artikel is beschikbaar in het Engels.
The International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk (ICFR) calls on the Iranian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Jafar Panahi, Mohammad Rasoulof and Mostafa Al-Ahmad and we encourage all film and culture institutions around the world to do the same.
The Iranian authorities have arrested Mohammad Rasoulof and Mostafa Al-Ahmad over an appeal they posted on social media speaking out against the unproportionate repression of civil protestors. Jafar Panahi has then been arrested as he was protesting the detention of his colleagues at Tehran's Evin prison.
According to Iran's news agency IRNA, the award-winning filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof and documentary filmmaker, writer and researcher Mostafa Al-Ahmad were taken into custody for posting a statement on social media urging members of the Iranian security forces to lay down their weapons.
The hashtag #put_your_gun_down is a reference to the violent crackdown during the unrest following a building collapse in the southwestern city of Abadan that killed at least 41 people earlier this year.
The report does not elaborate when the two were arrested. At least 70 Iranian filmmakers and movie industry workers had signed the appeal.
Rasoulof's passport had been confiscated after his 2017 film A Man of Integrity (IFFR 2018) premiered at Cannes, where it won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the festival. In 2020 he won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for There is No Evil which, like his previous films, casts a critical eye on the consequences of life under authoritarian rule.
Shortly after receiving the award he was sentenced to a year in prison for "propaganda against the system." He was also banned from making films and traveling abroad. Following his release in 2021, he has now been re-arrested.
A statement published on Kinolorber (Rasoulof's US distributor) condemns the arrest while revealing that the two filmmakers are currently being held in an unknown location.
Jafar Panahi, who has won numerous awards, including the Golden Leopard at Locarno Festival, the Golden Lion in Venice, and the Silver Bear at the Berlinale, was once arrested in March 2010 and later charged with propaganda against the regime. He is also an ambassador to the ICFR where he stated, "The unconditional support of filmmakers is the best support a filmmaker at risk can get."
On 15 July 2022, Mike Downey and Orwa Nyrabia wrote an open letter for the ICFR to create more awareness on the issue.

As ransomware has shown, people value their data and are will to sometimes pay a lot of money in order to get it back if stolen.
But it doesn't just stop there - people are also sensitive to not having their private information, or embarrassing photos shared with friends.
However, the problem with such attacks is that it means putting a lot of trust in the attackers to honour their word in not spreading the information even if payment is received.
Thousands of Android users may be at risk to a newly discovered form of malware which attempts to extort victims by threatening to leak a trove of personal information including photos, website histories and text messages unless a 'ransom' is paid to the hackers.

More Vehicles Broken Into, Guns Stolen in Broad Daylight While New Orleans Saints Fans Attend Game
DJ Digital Published: January 9, 2023
WDSU
Less than a week after NOPD promised to get the break-ins under control around Saints-Pelicans games, frustrated fans were met with broken glass when they returned to their vehicles on Sunday.
WDSU's Cassie Schirm posted photos and video from some of the most central paid parking lots near the Caesars Superdome after the Saints-Panthers game on Sunday. Lots in the New Orleans Central Business District (CBD) with parking priced as high as $50 had vehicles with windows smashed and, in some cases, guns were stolen from them.
From parking lots located near the Amtrak train station to lots located between Poydras and Lafayette Street (not far from Walk-On's) fans found themselves delayed from leaving the CBD while waiting for police officers to file reports on their vehicles that had been burglarized.
Schirm shared some of the images on her official Twitter account.
Last week, there was a report that the NBA and NFL had "concerns" about the alarming amount of break-ins directly surrounding the Smoothie King Center and the Caesars Superdome. In a Thursday briefing, Interim NOPD Superintendent Michelle Woodford acknowledged that the Saints & Pelicans did reach out directly to the department in regards to the increased break-ins.
They reached out to us, the Pelicans organization, and also the Saints organization ... We are going to redeploy those in the 1st district and the 8th district around every special event that we have to ensure that that won't happen again with auto burglaries.
This message came on the heels of reports of "numerous car windows" being broken near the Superdome during the Sugar Bowl game last two Saturdays ago (Dec. 31).
Unfortunately, NOPD has seemingly failed to deliver on its promise to crack down on the incidents as numerous fans were victims of break-ins, theft, and vandalism on Sunday. I personally know people who have had their entire vehicles stolen in broad daylight while attending a Saints game.
Even worse, when break-in victims call 911 to report their incidents, they're often met with a message to call back at a later date or directed to file a police report online after being told that the depleted New Orleans Police Department is busy dealing with more serious crimes and issues throughout the city.
While some would maybe suggest parking in a legit public lot with plenty of foot traffic and activity nearby, it should be noted that the majority of these victims are having their vehicles broken into in the middle of the day as thousands of people are nearby less than two blocks from the Superdome and the Smoothie King Center.
This is also the latest in a city and an administration that has come under fire for failing to get a grip on the brazen crime that continues to terrorize local residents and make out-of-towners think twice before visiting New Orleans for events and fun weekend getaways.
attachment-Screenshot 2023-01-09 at 12.05.09 PM
For what it's worth, NOPD announced that they were able to make arrests related to Sunday's break-ins, crediting the increase in deployed directed patrols for the swift apprehension of those responsible.
Will the swift arrests help to decrease the number of break-ins in the CBD and throughout New Orleans? Do quicker arrests of those responsible make things any better for victims if the number of actual crimes isn't going down?
Hopefully, we find that answer a lot sooner than later.

May 3, 2017 | Press Release
Tinhorn Creek Vineyards Announces New Branding for Premium Tier Wines
New Oldfield Reserve label marks the beginning of a new era while reflecting a distinctive evolution
Oliver, BC (May 3, 2017) – Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is excited to introduce its new Oldfield Reserve brand, along with a refresh of the Tinhorn Creek varietal series labels.
Oldfield Reserve replaces the previous Oldfield Series; communicating an evolution of the brand and reflecting the quality and sophistication of Tinhorn's top tier wines. The update also demonstrates a clear distinction between Tinhorn Creek's premium wines and the Tinhorn Creek varietal series, which has also undergone a label revamp that speaks to Tinhorn's modern, fresh approach.
"The philosophy behind the varietal tier and Oldfield tier has always been 'best of grape' for the former and 'best of site and winemaking' for the latter," says Jan Nelson, Sales & Marketing Manager at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards. "We hope our new labels underscore this differentiation, whilst letting the wines speak for themselves. The Oldfield Reserve label now has a more luxurious feel that speaks to the elevated quality of our premium line, while the new look of our entire portfolio also marks Winemaker Andrew Windsor's first Oldfield Reserve wines to market."
The Oldfield name is still prominently displayed to express the continuity of the brand and its rich history. Since experiencing her first "crush" at Tinhorn Creek in 1995, past Winemaker Sandra Oldfield remains actively involved as the winery's CEO. Sandra was recently recognized by WXN as one of the country's most powerful female entrepreneurs in the Trendsetting and Trailblazing category, with more than 20 years of winemaking and leadership in the BC wine industry under her belt.
Andrew Windsor joined the team in 2014 and has worked tirelessly and collaboratively with the winemaking team and Viticulturist Andrew Moon to produce the latest releases of both the new Oldfield Series Reserve wines and the Tinhorn Creek varietal series wines. "I'm very proud of the wines that are in the market now, and of all the hard work our team has put into making them," says Windsor. "The 2014 vintage reds look great and I'm particularly proud of the Syrah, which is probably one of the finest wines I've ever been a part of making. It's a varietal that I'm very passionate about. The Bordeaux varieties are also excellent; with only the best wines going into the small production of the Oldfield Reserves, they are built to last and I suggest stocking up on them."
Commenting has been turned off.

8 of them have been reported in March or earlier. [1]
Patches for 2 of these 8 were available at the time of the release. [2]
While the question whether to merge one of them into 2.6.21 was
controversial, the other one was not controversial.
For one of the bugs, it became obvious when someone looked at it after
the release of 2.6.21 that between the bug report on March 31th and the
release of 2.6.21 on April 21th, noone started debugging this bug. [3] [4]

I recently saw a question on SO relating to this, and pretty much every answer was: "Use LINQ To Xml". Which is good advice. If you don't want to do that (for whatever reason), then you may decide to use an approach such as the following.
I am not stating that this is the best was to accomplish this, merely that it is a way. I am also not asserting that any of the books mentioned exist in the libraries they are listed under.

Kansas City schools falsified records to gain state accreditation, district says
By Mara Rose Williams, KC Star
Kansas City Public Schools, under previous leadership, falsified student attendance records for three years, resulting in undeserved higher state performance scores. Now, officials say, that misrepresentation could cost the district some money. Superintendent Mark Bedell told The Star on Tuesday that the records were manipulated from 2013 to 2016, before he was hired. "I can assure you that there hasn't been any anomalies or any funny business since I came here," Bedell said. "What we earned last year (in state annual performance scores) is authentic."
Kansas City Public Schools could pay dearly for falsifying attendance records
By KC Star Editorial
Kansas City Public Schools could pay dearly for falsifying student attendance records — a significant setback for a severely challenged district that had finally been moving the needle in the right direction in recent years.
An internal review and an outside investigation confirmed that at least seven officials under the leadership of former Superintendent Steve Green tampered with attendance data for three years. Three of the employees are no longer with the district, officials said Tuesday. The other four have been placed on paid administrative leave while KCPS continues its inquiry. District officials have been working with the Missouri Department of Secondary and Elementary Education to take corrective action. Attendance data has not been manipulated since Superintendent Mark Bedell was hired in 2016, KCPS officials said, and the district has adopted new policies to safeguard against falsifying records.
Kansas City Public Schools investigates falsified attendance data
Misreporting happened from 2013 to 2016
By 41 Action News
Kansas City Public Schools conducted an investigation after it was discovered that student attendance data was intentionally falsified for several years within the district. According to a press release from the district Wednesday, school officials learned about the inaccuracies in the data in January 2019. The misreporting is said to have happened from 2013 through 2016, spurring an internal investigation in February 2019. The investigation was later handed over to an outside investigative team. According to KCPS, the investigation found that seven district employees changed attendance records to increase the number of students who were reported as in attendance for 90% of the year, which affected state-level reporting, a higher score in the Missouri School Improvement Performance Standards and an increased amount of state funding.
KC grad promised $200 for finishing program, but doesn't get it until FOX4 investigates
By Fox 4 News
Siyah Lanier has a lot to be proud of. The 18-year-old received her high school diploma last May from a special program called Middle College, which allows students who have dropped out of traditional school to complete their education at Penn Valley Community College. "It was amazing for me," Lanier, who is now a college freshman at Penn Valley, said. "I knew that was where everything was going to begin for me."
So why is Lanier talking to FOX4 Problem Solvers? Every Middle College graduate was promised $200 by the Full Employment Council. Lanier got the diploma, but she never got the money.

Springfield Schools approve calendar to start school later, end later too
By KY3 Springfield
Springfield students will start the next school year on August 24. That is 11 days later than classes began this year. The district had to draw up a new calendar because a new Missouri law says schools can't start any earlier than two weeks before the first Monday in September. John Jungmann, the Superintendent for Springfield Schools, says he acknowledges the challenges with the law, but he and his staff are diligently working to come up with the best solutions. Jungman says the late start will disrupt some events during the year. "Christmas break will be a little shorter and graduation will be a little later in May," said Jungmann. But Jungmann says business will continue as usual otherwise and students will still have 172 school days.

10 Insights Principals Gained From Working in Central Office
By Denisa R. Superville, Education Week
Principals often complain that their colleagues who work in the central office are out of touch with the real world of running schools. One reason principals say this? Many central office administrators have long been out of the fray of day-to-day school operations, and that can make school leaders skeptical of those colleagues. But some principals who've worked in both worlds—in school administration and in central office—say they gleaned useful skills and insights that they still use to their advantage in leading and managing their buildings. Here are 10 big lessons they learned:

30 districts join DonorsChoose program to supplement classroom resource budgets
By EducationDive.com
A total of 30 school districts now belong to the District Partnership Program of DonorsChoose, a platform that helps districts and teachers crowdfund for school supplies and other resources. The program, launched a few months ago, provides support for teachers who use the crowdfunding program, ensures safety and security of donations, and aligns with each district's strategic priorities, according to DonorsChoose.
DonorsChoose gives districts a customizable landing page allowing them to monitor all donations. Principals receive alerts when projects are funded, and schools are notified when new funding opportunities arise for teachers.
DonorsChoose connects public schools to donors through partnerships.
Many organizations — and even some individuals — have turned to crowdfunding to raise money for specific causes and projects. Educators are beginning to turn to this source, as well, to compensate for the lack of funds available for classroom projects and supplies. Over the past decade, hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised for classrooms through crowdfunding efforts.

"The integration of the unconscious with the conscious." Dr. Josef Breuer is introduced to Friedrich Nietzsche by Lou Salome, a collector of the most brilliant minds of Europe, who wants to help save Nietzsche from migraine headaches and suicidal tendencies utilizing Dr. Breuer's "Talking Cure." Breuer made the crucial observations upon which early psychoanalytic theory was based. Sigmund Freud is a personal friend and confidant of Dr. Breuer and mentor to Ms. Salome enabling her to become a celebrated psychoanalyst. Freud has read Nietzsche's books on philosophy and admires his penetrating knowledge of mankind calling him perhaps the greatest psychologist whose ever lived. Nietzsche and Breuer explore the depths of their own romantic obsessions and discover the redemptive power of friendship. They assist each other in transcending their respective mental challenges and with Freud evolve the concept of psychotherapy. Nietzsche's concept of the "Ubermensch" is a state of realization and integration of optimal characteristics of the self to basically become super-human relative to the average person similar to the relationship of a normal human to an ape. Gurdjieff had a similar concept of transcending suffering in ones quest of the perfected self documented by P.D. Ouspensky in his book, "In Search of the Miraculous."


So, yes they are good at multi - tasking. Women are far better persuaders and sellers as they have a pleasing personality. Doe 5 Another vital quality of a good manager is humility since it depicts how they understand and evaluate the situation. They need time to do housework and care about their children. Not every woman can manage emotions with work, there may be differences.

But Men are physically tougher and the women are mentally tougher. When it comes to the occupancy of the manager, Women are still more unlikely to hold the position than in other relatively higher job positions, with only about 10 % of management positions in Europe being held by Women, further of those the grand majority lie in the. Women are having good capability for managing works than men.
What are some good examples of women leadership?
Many women proved that they are a multitasker. Managers play a limited role in increasing engagement and building an ethical culture. So the ability to multitask isn't developed on almost all of men ; yet. Bhardwaj said: Jun 20, 2013 Hi! As an auditor of more than 25 years, I have not encountered an all-male management team. Through commitment and determination in the organization objectives, a manager inspires the rest of the staff to contribute willingly and to the best of their potentials. In the United States and many other industrialized countries, women now attain university degrees at higher rates than men do.

Now women has risen a lot as we can clearly see examples of Indira Gandhi, Kalpna Chawla, chanda kochar, and many more. So there is no doubt in saying that women is multitasking. Abstract As women increasingly enter leadership roles that traditionally were occupied mainly by men, the possibility that the leadership styles of women and men differ continues to attract attention.

Rate this: +16 -9 Deepika said: May 15, 2013 We all know that women is better than a man in many ways. One has to conclude by saying men are better managers than women. These all things are possible only because of their multi-tasking skills. So if we look practically on this topic.
Rate this: +66 -7 Sunanda Topno said: Mar 15, 2016 According to my point of view, this statement is absolutely right, yes women are multitasking they can handle her home as well as her job. I agree with all points but according to my point of view, women are best managers because they balance their life with parents as well as the organisation also In both places she showed their talent in a similar manner and she balanced it. Establishing the right networks may be a useful step. Women are the best managers. So they can manage the work, with some self-respect to serve their profession.
So if we look practically on this topic. I am totally agree with this statement because in today's world women are the one who are in the top of the page and are not lagging from men in any way. Women are multitasking from ancient times onwards. Rise to new managerial styles and a decrease in prejudice towards women may even prove women to be the more effective managers, or at least equally effective, as men. Although the term leadership and management are interchangeably used when referring to people spearheading organizations or a group of people, they distinctly imply different forms of overseeing people. Like a mother at home, Woman can easily hide their emotions as compared to man and knows how to react or manage in critical situations.
But if we see the current scenario of India's society we can think that women if doing the corporate job they also manage the household works, but even after doing hard work, everyone has his or her own pros and cons. Rate this: +20 -9 Sonali Bansal said: Aug 20, 2017 Yes, I agree with this statement. I would like to conclude that we can't pass any judgement on whether women are good managers or men are.

Early Matthew's gospel, Jesus takes the plunge and joins others who are being baptised by John in the River Jordan. Unlike others though, as Jesus emerges from the river something very special happens. If you'd like to know what, then you'd better come along on Sunday to find out. Suffice it to say though, somebody was well pleased.


What did you do this weekend? It was my favorite weekend of the summer- when my block in Brooklyn celebrates Bastille Day. The French restaurant next to us covers the street in sand and throws a big party with a boules tournament. The street is full of food vendors, bars serving Lillet, music and fun. And luckily, my apartment has the perfect, air-conditioned view of it all. We invite over friends, sip St-Germain and Champagne and watch the tournament from our window, cheering on the team we decide to support on a whim. Jamie spent the weekend at the beach with family soaking in the sun and cooking Lobsters. We are finally getting into the summer swing of things around here!

NASA forced to deny existence of Child slave colony on Mars
Mars, Unexplained
An outrageous conspiracy theory has forced NASA to deny it is running a chid-slave colony on the surface of Mars after claims made by ex-CIA officer engulfed the internet in a series of wild claims.
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY ELIZABETH BROCKWAY/THE DAILY BEAST
The American Space Agency has been 'forced' to deny a rather wild conspiracy theory wich claims that it is running a slave colony on the surface of Mars.
The new conspiracy theory was presented by an ex-CIA officer who made the claims during a US national radio show. Robert David Steele, a conspiracy theorist, and former CIA officer made claims that kidnapped children have been sent on a two-decade mission to space.
"We actually believe that there is a colony on Mars that is populated by children who were kidnapped and sent into space on a 20-year ride," said Steele. "So, that once they get to Mars they have no alternative but to be slaves on the Mars colony."
Jones responds to his guest, "Look, I know that 90 percent of the NASA missions are secret and I've been told by high-level NASA engineers that you have no idea. There is so much stuff going on."
"Pedophilia does not stop with sodomizing children," Steele said. "It goes straight into terrorizing them to adrenalize their blood and then murdering them. It also includes murdering them so that they can have their bone marrow harvested as well as body parts."
"This is the original growth hormone," Jones said.
"Yes, it's an anti-aging thing," Steele replied.
In response to the wild claims, a NASA spokesman said: 'there are no humans on Mars'. He also spoke about another rumor that the agency faked sending rovers to the red planet.
"There are no humans on Mars. There are active rovers on Mars. There was a rumor going around last week that there weren't. There are," Guy Webster, a spokesperson for Mars exploration at NASA, told The Daily Beast. "But there are no humans."
Numerous conspiracy theories have been cooked up in recent years.
In addition to this one—saying that there's a slave colony of young children on Mars—other theories say that humans have been walking on the surface of the red planet for decades.
According to 'Secret Space Program whistleblower Corey Goode who released a statement detailing human activity on Mars, mankind has been on the surface of the red planet for a long, long time.
In the statement, Corey Goode wrote:
"Mars was first visited by the Germans as far back as the 1930s, but during the 70s, US space programs were actively exploring Mars and other planets to establish bases. In 1980 the US SSP became – Solar Warden. Under Project Solar Warden vast development and colonization occurred on Mars and other planets. Goode continues, "Bases on Mars were built under the surface."
But doesn't that sound crazy? Well, he isn't the only one to have said it, and if we go ahead and take a look at a statement from Senator Daniel K. Inouye, we will realize just how profound this subject really is.
"There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself." (source)
But in addition to child slave colonies on Mars, secret space programs and other structures on the surface of the red planet, NASA has apparently found rats, lizards, helmets, and other curious things will 'denying' life on Mars, according to UFO hunters.

Oral History CollectionMichelle Tom2021-05-07T09:57:28-04:00
Windsor Historical Society's Oral History Collection is a collection of oral history interviews and other recorded memoirs, public presentations, and short historical essays that have been transcribed by Society staff and volunteers. The earliest recordings were made in 1952, and we continue to record new interviews and reminiscences to this day. Most of the recordings have been copied into a digital format.
There are currently 36 transcripts in the collection, most with a detailed index.
Oral history themes and topics include neighborhood and family history; childhood chores and fun; school days; learning to drive; hunting, fishing, and other sports; working tobacco; church activities; and fondly remembered local stores, shopkeepers, and home delivery services.
Recorded lectures and programs provide insight into history of the Lithuanian community in Poquonock; the mills along the Farmington River; the history of the Hayden Station area; Christopher Miner Spencer's many accomplishments; and Windsor's brickmaking industry. Some narrators offer perspective on the changes in the town of Windsor, CT during the 20th century, considering aspects such as the postwar housing shortages, race relations, and the impact of the opening of Interstate 91.
[Inventory and Abstracts]
Meet some of our interviewees and authors, and explore some excerpts and transcripts from the Oral History Collection below.

Apple Sued for Antitrust Violations With Apple Pay
Regulatory pressure continues to ramp up on big tech firms like Apple, and a new lawsuit takes aim at one of the iPhone maker's lesser-known cash cows. According to an antitrust lawsuit filed by Affinity Credit Union, Apple has abused its market position with Apple Pay to keep other companies out, earning fees on every tap-and-pay iPhone transaction.
Apple's mobile payment system uses near field communication (NFC), which is the same technology Google uses on Android. However, it probably won't come as a surprise that Apple's version is much more locked down. On Android, you can register different contactless payment providers in the settings. For example, Samsung's phones default to Samsung Pay, but it only takes a few taps to switch it to Google Pay. Apple only lets you use Apple Pay, and it charges fees to card issuers, which others generally don't.
According to Bloomberg, Apple charges a 0.15 percent transaction fee on all credit card transactions and a 0.5 percent fee for debit. Google Pay and Samsung Pay don't charge any fees to card issuers. Affinity alleges in the lawsuit that Apple's payment fees have resulted in a continuous stream of revenue, amounting to $1 billion in 2019 alone.
Affinity says Apple could not sustain these fees if it allowed other payment services access to the iPhone's NFC feature. Instead, it ties the mobile device and mobile wallet together while excluding all competition. That arguably makes it a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Whether or not the courts see it that way is an open question, and Apple has a veritable army of lawyers who will no doubt devise cunning arguments that support its perspective.
Android offers a handy toggle to avoid this whole mess.
This credit union is not alone in objecting to the way Apple handles NFC payments. Earlier this year, the EU issued a preliminary finding that Apple Pay is anticompetitive. Apple told the EU, as it probably will in this case, that it locks down NFC for security reasons. The EU, however, found that Apple's behavior cannot be justified by security concerns.
Apple has been making changes to some of its long-standing policies as legal challenges ramp up. For example, it no longer charges most app developers the full 30 percent fee for sales on Apple's platform. Perhaps it will drop the Apple Pay fees or at least take a smaller cut going forward.

The Anodyne was a modified Nebulon-C escort frigate that served in the New Republic Defense Fleet and later the Resistance navy during its conflict with the First Order. Originally decommisioned by the New Republic, the Anodyne was transferred to a Resistance-friendly salvage yard for repairing. It later served as a medical frigate for the Resistance. During the evacuation of D'Qar, the Anodyne was placed under the command of Vice Admiral Resdox.[2] It was destroyed by the Supremacy when it ran out of fuel and entered into its range. The crew, with the exception of the captain, evacuated the doomed craft via U-55 loadlifters and escaped to the Raddus, while the captain remained behind to die with his ship.[3]

Detail from a ticket for the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, 1890, by Walter Crane. Copyright Victoria and Albert Museum, London, acc. no. E.4164-1915.
The Arts and Crafts Movement is a late nineteenth century artistic style that took its name from the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society (London), which was founded in 1887. The movement was inspired by the theories of the architect Augustus Pugin (1812-1852) and the art writer John Ruskin (1819-1900). The artist/craftsman William Morris (1834-1896) was also involved in its creation and propagation of the views of its members.
The Arts and Crafts Movement was regarded as a reaction against industrialisation and what was viewed as the impoverished state of the decorative arts at the time. The Movement was a strong advocate of traditional craftsmanship using pure and simple forms. It was strongly influenced by Victorian interpretations of medieval and folk styles of decoration. The Arts and Crafts Movement's influence can be seen in a wide range of items, from books, buildings, ceramics, graphics, interior decoration (especially wall paper), metal work, textiles to woodwork. William Morris and his daughter May Morris were also deeply involved in changing the then current styles of textiles and embroidery (especially Berlin wool work) by advocating, among others, the Art Needlework movement.
Between about 1880 and 1910 the Arts and Crafts Movement spread from Britain to the British Empire, as well as to many parts of Europe, Scandinavia and the USA. It also became an important movement called Mingei in Japan, which developed in the 1920's under the inspiration of Soetsu Yanagi (1889-1961).

Winnipeg Jets do some down-to-the-wire training camp tinkering
Posted on January 13, 2021 by Manny
There was a fair amount to unpack as the Winnipeg Jets finished up their training camp at Bell MTS Place on Wednesday afternoon in their final on-ice preparation for the home and season opener versus the Calgary Flames.
The broadcast will be heard on 680 CJOB starting at 7 p.m. with Paul Edmonds and Jamie Thomas following the pregame show at 5 p.m.
As expected, former LA King forward Trevor Lewis did come to an agreement on a one year contract for US$750,000, bringing some assets to the mix in terms of defensive prowess, penalty killing, experience and two Stanley Cup rings.

Reporters learned that COVID Protocol Related Absence (CPRA) could be added to the likes of UBI and LBI as an explanation why a player wasn't skating in practice or might not be in the lineup on any given day or night.
That terminology was put into play Wednesday as an explanation for Nikolaj Ehlers not practicing. This should not be interpreted that the Dashing Dane has tested positive for COVID-19. He could still play Thursday night against the Flames.
Jets General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff says it's just one example of the NHL erring on the side of caution when it comes to avoiding any opportunity for the virus to spread. "Say a player comes to the rink and has the sniffles. He's going to get temperature-checked, tested, and then sent home. But then there's a protocol that's going to have to be followed after that and there's not going to be a time frame necessarily — it's all going to be testing related."

Cheveldayoff also delivered a tutorial on the salary cap stickhandling that was involved in naming an opening night roster. Get a coffee and find a comfortable place to sit, because this will take some time: "The rosters were put in yesterday (Tuesday) and the league goes through a forensic procedure on it to make sure what you're submitting is cap compliant," Cheveldayoff began. "We put Dominic Toninato on LTIR (Long Term Injured Reserve) when he presented at training camp and didn't pass medicals. As a result, he is undergoing further testing."
So that's how the Jets shaved US$700,000 from their payroll initially. But wait, there's more. A lot more.
"Before putting a player on LTIR, you get as close to the cap (maximum) as you can," Cheveldayoff continued. "Some of that involves sending players to different places. This year we have a taxi squad situation that we've never had before."

So some of those different moves to different places included Mathieu Perreault and his US$4.125-million salary being placed on waivers. And this is where it gets interesting — and possibly confusing for anyone whose last name isn't Einstein. Or Simmons, as in Jets Vice President and Assistant GM, Larry Simmons.
"Part of what Larry and I do on a daily basis continually leading up to [Tuesday] is putting different roster situations and scenarios up on the board to see if you're cap compliant. With a player like Mathieu Perreault who had a $4-million contract, we decided that it was worth the gamble to put him on waivers so that we could gain," recounted Cheveldayoff. "In a player in his situation that makes over US$1.075 million, that's what you get off the cap."
So with that seven-figure saving in hand. Cheveldayoff and head coach Paul Maurice then sat down with Perreault and crunched the numbers to explain what was happening, and why. "It's not a fun conversation," admitted the Jets GM. "But in the same token, that's the business side that needed to transpire."
Read more: ANALYSIS: Where do the Winnipeg Jets fit in the NHL's North Division?
Cheveldayoff said Perreault was fully on board and said he'd do whatever he could to help the team make sure it could achieve the most roster flexibility as possible. "If we couldn't have gotten to making the roster moves that we had, we would not have had Bryan Little's full LTI money," said Cheveldayoff. "And in fact, we might have been hamstrung in order to play with only a 23-man roster and not have that cap flexibility that we did."
Perhaps a little more Capology 101 is required to explain that last sentence. "Say you add up all your contracts and you're at US$81.8 million – US$300,000 over the cap. You have to find a way after you've assigned guys down and called guys up — whatever roster you wanted to submit," explained Cheveldayoff patiently. "If you do have players that do go on LTIR, like Toninato, you then invoke. So at that point in time, you're allowed to go up to what his number would have been. But when you're invoking, if you're below, all you can capture on that day is getting yourself to the cap. So when we invoked Toninato, you are essentially back at ground zero. You do not have any LTI space available. So [Wednesday] we invoked Bryan Little and we go from zero to an LTIR space of US$5.2 million to operate with for the season after that. Timing is very important."

The movie is getting a lot of television hype, and some critics are already thinking Oscar nominations for the true story of astronaut Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) leading the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969.
Ryan Gosling plays the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. He says the movie's story is rich on every level, from the big space scenes to the focus on Neil Armstrong's family. He says the story of Neil Armstrong's family and the sacrifices they made is an inspiration. Ryan says Neil Armstrong's family and friends helped him figure out how to play him. Ryan says the trip to the moon was very dangerous. The technology was limited and the astronauts sacrificed so much. Ryan says growing up he didn't want to be an astronaut. He wanted to play in the NBA.
Kyle Chandler plays Deke Slayton. He was one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts. He says making the movie was similar to the space program because there was so much collaboration.
Word has it Clint Eastwood was originally going to direct the movie.

RetourMatras goes one step further in the chain and in-house produces products made of polyurethane and latex (foam) that are released when recycling an old mattress. We call this product bonded foam.
Materials that are released during the recycling process are new products. With the self-manufacture of bonded foam, RetourMatras realizes savings in costs and CO2. At the factory in Alphen aan den Rijn, the production facility is linked directly to the recycling line. This means that the released foam does not have to be bled and stored anymore. RetourMatras has its own distribution channel for the sale of bonded foam. Usually this party sells the material directly to the end user, the consumer. Transport distances are thus reduced to a minimum.
Flakes are made from the strips of foam that are released from the mattress recycling process. These flakes are moved to a silo for storage by means of air. With sufficient material, the flakes go to the mixer. Here a binder is added and possibly a dye to give the bonded foam its own structure and color. When the flakes are sufficiently mixed with the binder, the flakes fall onto a conveyor belt towards the cylinder press.
The foam flakes are pressed at a density varying from 80 to 300 kg / m3. The binder activates only in humid conditions and therefore a large amount of steam is blown through the cylinder at 140 degrees Celsius. Any bacteria are also treated in the same way in this way. After steaming, the cylinder is deformed in height from 1.5 to 2.2 meters high and stored for drying. After drying, the cylinder is pressed to the desired thickness of 3 mm to 30 mm.
Due to the variations in density, height and thickness, the product can be used in various ways. Bonded foam is used, among other things, as underlay, acoustic insulation and as a shock pad under sports and artificial grass pitches.
Unique in the circular process of RetourMatras: an old mattress is immediately processed into a new product.

FNF PREVIEW: 2017 Vernon Lions
by: Samaria Terry
Posted: Aug 24, 2017 / 08:15 PM CDT / Updated: Aug 24, 2017 / 08:15 PM CDT
After 10 years with the Vernon Lions, Matthew Hoover's getting his shot at head coach, and after finishing 2-9 last season, that won't cut it for the 2017 Vernon Lions.
"Bad, it was horrible," Right Tackle Preston Newman said. "Unacceptable."
"Last season, we really didn't have good team chemistry," Running Back Terrell Story said. "We didn't really connect and vibe with each other. We didn't do too good, but I think our defense did really good and I'm looking forward to this year."
"It wasn't good. We had our chances," Hoover said. "I think we figured it up after the season was over and there seven of those games that we were leading at half time and that was just one of the things that we're really trying to sell these kids on is just finishing, because you can't just play a half in football and expect to win and that was kind of like the theme that happened to us a lot last year. Seven games you're ahead at half time, that's just not going to cut it."
Hoover spent the last four years as defensive coordinator before taking the head coaching position.
"I'm not actually out there coaching a position right now, I'm just kind of floating group to group," Hoover said. "Helping out where I can. I took a little bit getting used to the first couple of days. I'm like wow, I get to go watch everybody. I thought it was kind of cool. Get to see these coaches, really coaching these kids up and it was just exciting. I got fired up just watching them. So, it was a little bit of a change. It's been a good change."
The lions have 16 letterman returning, including Running Back Brandon McCallon, who rushed for 800 yards and three touchdowns, and Newman, who hopes to see major changes his senior year.
"I want to be just dominant, just straight dominance over every team we play," Newman said. "If we lose, because I know we're going to lose some, I just want to give it my all and walk off the field with my head high."
"[I want to] see a lot of improvements, not to do what we did last year," Story said. "Be a better team and make the playoffs."
"Getting hype, encouraging your other teammates, working on the fundamentals of things getting it crisp and sound," Newman said.
Hoover feels confident his team will produce it's first winning season since 2014
"It's been great, these guys have really bought into what we're trying to do," Hoover said. "They're real energetic and they're real eager to learn all the new things that we're implementing. Especially offensively, defensively it's pretty much the same, but there is some different terminology because it is somebody different calling it. So, they are picking up on things and they're having a really good attitude about it."
The Lions kick off their season at Abilene Wylie. They fell to the Bulldogs in last year's season opener 15-9.
