Landscape photography is always fun to practice and is an area a really want to improve. I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe it's best to wait for the sun to actually set before shooting, as sunlight passing through dust and dirt is still creating a lot of unwanted haze.
Let's keep practicing, trying new things, and getting out to enjoy the beauty we can.


Can You Grow Different Orchid Types Together?
If you love orchids, you have probably realized you must choose your orchid varieties by their temperature preferences. It's very tough to grow and flower different species in the same environment when they have individual temperature needs.
You can certainly display many different types of orchids together when they are blooming, but then you may need to separate them after flowering to put them back into their ideal growing conditions and light.

Hi, my name is Blake Snow. I'm a published author, bodacious writer-for-hire, recognized journalist, executive content advisor, and practicing husband and father. When blogging was still cool, I took up a keyboard and became a popular contributor, technology critic, and feature writer to half of the top 20 U.S. media and other recognized publications. Today, I help fancy publications and Fortune 500 companies tell better stories with insightful reporting and daring words.
I am a speaker-for-hire, dishing and training individual teams and companies you know and respect on what 12 years of content marketing have taught me.
I serve as an outside editor-for-hire, helping understaffed marketing or communications teams with story ideation, editorial calendars, writing production, and managing assignments and writers.
As my schedule permits, I also publish an influential blog, cover travel for mainstream media, and tell everyone I can about the book I wrote that changed my life.
When I'm not working, I enjoy staying offline, soaking it up with my soulmate, raising five children, working on my body, trying to visit all seven continents, and cooking. I chase experiences more than paper. I believe people are inherently good. And if you disagree, you're wrong.
Email is the best way to contact me. If you've made it this far, thanks for reading.


Play it if: you wish to explore profound metaphysical ideas as interpreted through the fascinating medium of bovine coloration.
Don't play it if: you do not wish to achieve NIRVANA.
What an incredible and psychologically complex game!
The player starts in the first floor of a place called the Grand Tower. The objective is to reach the top of the tower. This is clearly symbolic of the cycles of reincarnation (samsara) as espoused by mainstream Hinduism - as the immortal soul (the player, who can restart the game endlessly and never find an actual solution to the game). The Hindu connection can be conclusively established by the presence of cows in the starting room (though the fact that one of the doors is called Exit might suggest an alternative interpretation along the lines of Jean-Paul Sartre's work).
There are all sorts of details to be interpretively explored here. Why the particular colors of Pink, Green, and Purple? Why is it that examining the Pink and Purple Cows yields the tautology "X Cow is an x cow", while examining the Green Cow produces the statement "You see nothing special about Green Cow"? Or why is the description of Orange Door "The Orange Door is an orange door", while the description of the Exit is "You might be able to exit this way, if, that isn't, the exit wasn't locked". Why the phrase "that isn't"? Surely a game of this caliber couldn't have meant it as a glaring typo easily fixable by even the most basic proofreading process or input of creative effort, but must have some deeper meaning.
But then, who am I to interpret such things?
Perhaps the fact that nothing but three cows and two locked doors are implemented is a sign from the Author, a sign that we must not be troubled with the things of material existence, but must rather look to a higher purpose that exists behind the veneer of a simple interactive fiction game.
Namely, that the whole thing is a brutal waste of your time, the author is likely trolling, and your only path to spiritual liberation - moksha - is to free yourself of the need to play this game at all.

"To see how much joy this simple act of kindness brought to the orphans made me realize there had to be more we could do." – Jessica
Inspiring Brilliance
WISHES DO COME TRUE
This book is a story about an orphan. It is a magical tale of connection and trust, but most importantly, LOVE.
Monkey is an orphan. He is an orphan with a dream, a wish and a belief in magic. Monkey has a burning desire to love and be loved.
Amelia is a little girl with a dream and also believes in magic. She has a twin brother, Samuel, a loving mother and a wonderful gift. She has so much love to give, it shines out of her eyes like sparkly moonbeams, it is a gift that is destined for someone very special. When their two worlds collide, the connection is magnetic.
The stories range from a fun-fair in a leafy suburb of London to The Statue of Liberty. From the Empire State Building to the Hollywood sign. From the Griffith Observatory to Buckingham Palace.
Monkey's search for his 'real' family serendipitously culminates at an unexpected destination, Casa Hogar Sion, an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico.
Based on real life events, I was inspired to write this series of picture books, after seeing the incredible connection between my daughter Amelia and her stuffed animal, Monkey.
This book, and those that follow, will benefit the children at Casa Hogar Sion orphanage. They are also dedicated to all the children around the world who, through no fault of their own, have been let down by life. For whatever reason they have been left without parents, without a family, without siblings, without love.
Every single child on this planet deserves love, every single child deserves an education and every single child deserves a chance to shine and realize their dreams.
My hope is to inspire these children to realize that no matter how afraid, how lonely or how helpless they may feel, just have faith, just trust and remember that you are loved.
You are special, you matter, you are loved.

Something I talk about frequently in my seminars is the concept of ubicomp – or ubiquitous computing. The best way to describe it is: the internet isn't something you go to or sit down to access, it is a layer over reality. That is why I get my socks knocked off with services like Twitter and now IMified.
And a cursor. You'd type something in and press ENTER or RETURN and then hope that you'd put it in the right syntax or get a dreaded error message. That is called a CLI or command line interface because the computer's functions and software are accessed by typing in commands in single line texts.
Which brings us to Twitter and IMified.
I saw a promo for IMified – a service which allows you to access numerous services via your IM account – and found myself typing in 1 line commands and hitting enter… I thought to myself, this is just like ZORK! And then, this is just like DOS!
Try it, open up your instant messaging client and type in 'hello' and send it.
The system responds immediately with a menu and options to get set up with reminds, to-dos and notes. No registration, no confirmation, no hoops to jump through, just instant utility. I about crapped my pants and immediately IMed Peter he had to try it out as well.
Things go even sexier when I hooked my Google Calendar up to my IMified account, now I can access my calendar through my instant messenger client. I am tinkering with similar functionality with my cellphone and accessing my Google Calendar via SMS/text messaging.
And each time I simply type in a small phrase or letter or command and a system responds within seconds.
My minimalist side loves this because it is so bare-bones and basic: just text, command-and-response. Much like my post a bit ago about the 140 character limit in Twitter – it forces you to constrain your thoughts to haiku heigtenedness (height?).
The command line never went away – it is just on every other device besides your computer.

Uzbekistan, officially the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: O'zbekiston Respublikasi or O'zbekiston Jumhuriyati), is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. The language, Uzbek, is a Turkic language mutually understandable with Turkish and other Turkic languages.


A patch panel, patch bay, patch field or jack field is a device or unit featuring a number of jacks, usually of the same or similar type,for the use of connecting and routing circuits for monitoring, interconnecting, and testing circuits in a convenient, flexible manner, patch panels are commonly used in computer networking, recording studios, radio and television.
In recording studios, television and radio broadcast studios, and concert sound reinforcement systems, patchbays are widely used to facilitate the connection of different devices, such as microphones, electric or electronic instruments, effects (e.g. compression, reverb, etc.), recording gear, amplifiers, or broadcasting equipment. Patchbays make it easier to connect different devices in different orders for different projects, because all of the changes can be made at the patchbay. Additionally, patchbays make it easier to troubleshoot problems such as ground loops; even small home studios and amateur project studios often use patchbays, because it groups all of the input jacks into one location. This means that devices mounted in racks or keyboard instruments can be connected without having to hunt around behind the rack or instrument with a flashlight for the right jack. Using a patchbay also saves wear and tear on the input jacks of studio gear and instruments, because all of the connections are made with the patchbay.

LONGi Provides High Efficient Modules to Koh Jik ReCharge Micro-grid Project in Thailand
XI'AN, China, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LONGi, the world leading solar technology company headquartered in Xi'an, China, has partnered with Symbior Solar and Blue Solar to complete a 72kWp PV + 266kWh ESS + 60 kVA genset micro-grid system at Koh Jik island, Thailand.
The Koh Jik ReCharge project is initiated and developed by Tanai Potisat, Founder of ReCharge Energy. Symbior and Blue Solar are the project investors. Apart from setting up the system, Koh Jik ReCharge also uplifts the local community to set up tariff structure and manage daily operation. The project showcases a new generation mini-grid for the electrification of Thai off-grid islands and a proof-of-concept for private-community social enterprise model.
Koh Jik is a small fisherman island located in Chanthaburi province, and is one of the first islands in Thailand to build a renewable energy micro-grid, the island originally previously got gets its power mainly from diesel generation. The first micro-grid project was completed in 2004, although the project was heavily subsidized by public funding, still around 90% of the power generated was still from diesel.
After conducting a detailed study of the island's load and consumption habits, the result of an optimized system should consist of 72kWp high efficient solar modules, 266kWh lithium-ion battery and a back-up diesel genset. The ReCharge project design allows battery storage to replace diesel consumption, making it possible to achieve 95% share of the load provided by solar energy.
With the new system in place, the cost of energy generated reduces from the original 30~50 THB/kWh to 13THB/kWh, and reduces monthly diesel consumption by 80% from 2,000 to 240 litres. Notably, the ReCharge project managed to sell its carbon emission reductions and positive environmental benefits to a global enterprise, given back to the community as a retail electricity tariff rebate at 1THB/kWh.
Dennis She, Vice President of LONGi Group, commented, "We are happy to be a part of such a flagship project and appreciate Symbior and Blue Solar's trust in LONGi. Micro-grid project is extremely difficult to develop as its business model is usually unsustainable. We hope that Koh Jik ReCharge project can set a good example in the region and more people can benefit from rural electrification."
Tanai Potisat, Founder of ReCharge Energy, commented, "We are proud to announce the completion of Koh Jik electrification with solar energy. Koh Jik ReCharge project sets course to change the paradigm, a living proof that community operated microgrids can be technical and financially sustainable in the long-run. For this, we and the community are confident that highly efficient LONGi panels will be able to support and produce electricity for the community for the next 25 years."
About LONGi
Founded in 2000, LONGi is committed to being the world's leading solar technology company, focusing on customer-driven value creation for full scenario energy transformation.
Under its mission of 'making the best of solar energy to build a green world', LONGi has dedicated itself to technology innovation and established five business sectors, covering mono silicon wafers cells and modules, commercial & industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy solutions and hydrogen equipment.

Stuart Rothenberg
American writer and political analyst
Rothenberg in 2018
Stuart Rothenberg is an American editor, publisher, and political analyst. He is best known for his biweekly political newsletter The Rothenberg Political Report, now known as Inside Elections. He was also a regular columnist at Roll Call[1] and an occasional op-ed contributor to other publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Orlando Sentinel.[2]
Rothenberg, currently a resident of Potomac, Maryland, lived in Waterville, Maine, while attending Colby College before relocating to Connecticut to earn his Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut.[2] For a time, he settled in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to teach political science at Bucknell University, a subject he has also taught at the Catholic University of America.
In addition to his writing, he has been frequently featured in news broadcasts and worked with CNN as a political analyst for over ten years. He also served as a political analyst for CBS News and for the Voice of America. He is also a guest contributor for Political Wire.
Rothenberg is married and the father of two children.
Rothenberg is known for his prediction in early 2009 that the GOP's chances of winning back the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 were "zero".[3] Rothenberg later would change his prediction as the economy worsened and polls reflected increasing support for Republicans through the Tea Party protests. The Rothenberg Political Report projected Republicans would gain 55–65 seats in the House of Representatives[4] (they gained 63) and 6–8 seats in the Senate[5] (they gained 6).
In the weeks before the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President, Rothenberg wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post headlined "Trump's path to an electoral college victory isn't narrow. It's nonexistent". Rothenberg stated, "Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, once part of the Trump scenario, have never been 'in play'". Trump would go on to win all three of the battleground states.[6]
In 2015, the Rothenberg Political Report changed its name to The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, with long-time collaborator Nathan Gonzales taking over as editor and publisher.[7] In 2017, the publication was renamed to Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales. Despite the name change, Rothenberg continued to work with Inside Elections as a senior editor.[8]

Trigon Snubber 100 – is a problem solver and sound improver connected to the speaker's terminals (not the amplifier's terminals!).
It is used to dampen the oscillation (uncontrolled oscillations) and disproportionate warming of power amplifiers. This oscillation of a power amplifier often occurs when high inductive speaker cables are used. Especially in conjunction with power amplifiers that have a high bandwidth (usually over 250KHz) undesired oscillation can occur, unnecessarily loading the amplifier. The amplifier may heat up very quickly, so that the temperature fuse switches off the device even though you haven't heard anything. In the worst case, uncontrolled oscillation can even lead to the destruction of the amplifiers.
If high inductance or high capacitance speaker cables are not possible or desirable, the Snubber 100 will be the solution in many cases. Depending on the configuration and technical characteristics of the chain: power amplifier > speaker cable > loudspeaker, the sound effect of the Snubber 100 varies greatly. In critical, i. e. vibration-prone configurations, significant sound improvements are usually achieved, since the power amplifier has a largely identical load resistance over its operating range and can therefore work more stable (swing-free).


Due to a copyright argument, Jenna's BBC Four drama Room at the Top had to be put on hold while the copyright dispute was sorted out.
Room at the top is based on the classic novel of the same name by John Brain. The dispute is due to a confusion at Remus Films between whether or not the TV rights were sold to Great Meadow Productions by David Higham Associates.
Jenna plays the character Susan Brown in this two-parter which is 1 hour each. We don't know when to expect this to happen though but since it just "sitting on the shelf", we expect it to be soon.

The "Caligula Imperial Presidency": Is Impeachment on its Way?
Trump's Presidency
Emanuel L. Paparella, Ph.D.
"The Emperor is wears no clothes"–Hans Christian Andersen in "The Emperor's New Clothes"
[yt_dropcap type="square" font="" size="14″ color="#000″ background="#fff" ] O [/yt_dropcap]ne can just imagine a conversation between two interlocutors as they walk in the streets of Rome some 2000 years ago: emperor Caligula did what? He made his horse senator of Rome. Nowadays, the daily quip in American cities and around the world seems to be: President Trump did what?
It has been approximately two weeks since what I dub "Caligula redivivus" (Caligula reincarnated) has assumed the reins of the US Presidency as arguably the most powerful man on earth with his finger on the nuclear button. That in itself is scary enough.
True to form, and quite predictably he has been performing one enormity after the other on a daily, even hourly basis, governing by childish whim and impulse, by executive fiats and unvetted decrees, with an eyes to corporate profits, to personal vendettas and slanderous vituperations, often hurled via twits; confusing allies and even his own staff. Clearly, this deranged Caligula style governing is not working very well. The wheels seem to be wobbling off the bus. Rhe man seems to be constitutionally and psychiatrically incapable of distinguishing what is legal and what is illegal, what is normative and what is deviant.
The issue of torture, which he continues to support publicly even when he hypocritically deferring to his aide General Maddox's views, is a glaring example. It's as if the Electoral College had elected him dictator of the US. The presidency looks and acts imperially, and deranged. Certainly, the majority of the people, by some three million votes, did not order from that menu and now have to digest it, albeit many misguided people did do so and are satisfied; what they have failed to realize, so far, is that democracy itself is now in peril, wounded and bleeding.
They continue to praise the sartorial splendor of emperor Caligula strutting through the streets of Rome, or Washington, as the case may be, with his invisible clothes. The pundits, meanwhile, continue to offer their Machiavellian, real-politick, analyses missing the bigger point that the Caligula reign was the canary in the mine for the Roman Empire and its Republican-democratic institutions, the beginning of the end. They dare not dare cry out "the emperor is illegitimate." Only one politician has found the courage to do so (Representative John Lewis), just as one little boy did in Andersen's tale.
Indeed, the first president of the US must be turning in his grave at the sight of how low the august and dignified Office of the US Presidency has sunk. One courageous prominent citizen has already publicly shouted "The Emperor is illegitimate," which is equivalent to the little boy shouting "the President is naked" in the famous tale. He has been soundly rebuked by the emperor via twitter for that kind of impertinence: telling the truth and ignoring the alternate facts of the pundits.
Geo-political experts of all stripes are now busy in explaining the irrational after failing to explain why a pathological narcissist managed to be elected imperial president. They continue to analyze, when they ought to know that the only option left is that of sardonic satire and debunking. Even iconoclasm will not do to confront psychopathology.
But the emperor continues on his merry way to court Putin while criticizing allies like Mexico, Australia, Israel, claiming massive voter fraud despite the ridicule of his own party on those claims and refusing to issue an executive order to investigate the fraud. The panic in the party is palpable. It is now frantically trying to figure out how to kill Obamacare without killing patients or Republican re-election hopes. They also see themselves mired in a trade war with Mexico which is not a good omen on their re-election prospects either.
All this after ten days, mind you. What will be left of a democratic American Republic after four years, or, perhaps eight years? The question gaining ground now seems to be: how do we get the man out of office and avoid a potential unmitigated political disaster? We know how the Praetorean guards in Rome, after five years of sheer abuses, ultimately solved the problem. In modern CIA parlance, "with extreme prejudice." That is not something feasible or desirable in a democracy governed by the rule of law where assassinations are illegal.
What seems to be left is the option of impeachment which is a political, not a medical and not even a legal solution. Here there is some hope. Even Republicans seem to be deserting in droves. It has become quite clear to many of them that the man is unfit for office, is set on disaster, and trying to rein him in is an exercise in futility. Reality is now pushing back. They could have imagined that before they nominated him and elected him, but better late than never.
At this point one can hope that the constitutional legal checks on tyranny hold. So far they seem to be holding. After the deranged effort of Caligula redivivus to selectively ban refugees as potential terrorists (except those terrorist countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt which have Trump business interests), he has discovered, eureka, that American has courts. Get a hold of that.
The reality is that the courts are now the only barrier to Trump's dictatorial style of governing. Hopefully, the people will also intervene by starting popular impeachment procedures. Free Speech for People has launched a citizens' campaign to impeach Trump. About 400,000 people have already signed the petition. Senior legal scholars associated with CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) have filed a legal brief documenting the several ways Trump is in violation of the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits a president from profiting from the actions of foreign governments.
We can only hope now that as the deranged emperor deserts the Constitution, pari passu, his loyal sycophants will begin deserting him, as they realize that they cannot use Trump for their own ends; that, to the contrary, he has and will continue to use them for his own deranged agenda.
If the Caligula episode in Roman history teaches anything is that malignant narcissism (as described by psychiatrist Otto Kernberg) is more severe than ordinary narcissism. It is a pathology characterize by an absence of conscience, grandiosity and a desperate quest for power and validation, not to speak of a sadistic enjoyment of cruelty and the suffering of others. We see that exemplified around the world by authoritarian personalities; some of them call themselves president; they usually flock together and like each other.
In any case, Trump's impeachment seems almost inevitable, even at this early stage of the Caligula presidency. The only question remaining then will be: how much damage will the US be able to withstand before it finally happens?

Youth should be part of an inclusive (agricultural) development policy. This is necessary to secure stable food supplies, and to innovate the agricultural sector. National governments, private parties, donors and development agencies all have their role to play to involve and empower young farmers and entrepreneurs in agricultural value chains.
A number of developments will have a major impact on the future of our global food system. Firstly, today 1.8 billion people are between the ages of 10 and 24. Approximately nine out of ten of these young people live in less developed countries, where the young population is also growing fastest. Secondly, in the world's least developed countries, every year 15 million young people enter the labour force in which the majority of workers face unemployment, underemployment or vulnerable employment. Thirdly, youth is withdrawing from the agricultural sector. The average age of farmers in developing countries is between 50 and 60 years. Fourthly, the aspirations of today's youth in developing countries are signalled by a mass withdrawal from the rural areas in favour of urban opportunities and lifestyles.
Any debate on the future of our food system needs to be set within the context of above-mentioned dynamics. Over half of the African population is expected to remain rural until 2050. Small and medium farms in developing countries continue to be the world's major food producers. Moreover, under traditional farming systems, crop yields decline. Older farmers are less likely to adopt new technologies needed to increase productivity in a sustainable environment-friendly way. More knowledge and experience is essential to support a new generation of capable, skilled producers and entrepreneurs to grow, process and trade the crops and commodities the world depends on. Young people provide the opportunity to secure stable supplies, and to innovate the agricultural sector. As such, public and private parties, donor agencies and NGOs investing in sustainable agricultural development would do well to consider young people as crucial stakeholders in their cooperation initiatives. This means that a truly inclusive development policy takes 'age' into consideration.
To seriously involve youth, national governments and donors have to put youngsters at the centre of their 'theories of change' that aim to strengthen agricultural sectors. The right questions have to be asked about the roles, aspirations, capacities and constraints of young people in agriculture. Ultimately this leads to a better understanding of their situation. A valuable first step would be to allocate resources for action research, to find out which factors move young farmers and agro-entrepreneurs. Job creation in the downstream parts of value chains (trade, logistics, environmental practices, insurance, communication, etc) can make youth realise that agribusiness can be an intellectually stimulating and economically viable career, radically changing its image.
Moreover, a growing number of companies and standards organisations are looking for affordable and scalable ways to assess the sustainability of agricultural supply chains. The private sector can better anticipate to the challenges and opportunities of young farmers and agro-entrepreneurs by including indicators to monitor youth participation in supply chains in PM&E initiatives (as done by Seas of Change Performance Measurement community).
Youth often faces poor access to land, finance and information. Young farmers and agro-entrepreneurs would benefit strongly from innovative financing (soft loans, micro-franchising, etc) and up-to-date technological training curricula. The Coffee Toolkit by the Sustainable Coffee Program gives some good guidelines on how to realise this. Use of internet and mobile phone channels can promote agriculture, educate and train young people in agriculture who are unable to attend higher education. Some great examples to learn from are YPARD, Slow Food Youth Network, and Mkulima Young in Kenya. Other examples which might appeal to youth can be found in projects on urban farming, to address the employment challenges of young women and men in cities, and that of feeding an expanding urban population. Another idea is supporting projects with a prominent place for cooperatives and/or farmer field schools in which young farmers get the opportunity to raise their voices.
The Seas of Change initiative is looking forward to continue this discussion in a creative and refreshing way, in order to contribute to a sustainable future of our food.

Repeating Nonsense About Predator Control Doesn't Make it Factual
September 21, 2012 by Tom 2 Comments
On September 10, 2012, the Portland Press Herald released an opinion piece in which the author believed that spending money to control the population of coyotes for the benefit of all wildlife was "ill-conceived wildlife measures". The author claims that spending $100,000, of which only $15,000 was actually spent, was an "irresponsible use of taxpayer funds". Was it really?
Today, in the same newspaper, a person wrote a short comment in support of the first opinion piece:
Reduce the population of coyotes enough to make a temporary difference, and those remaining will produce more pups to fill the loss in numbers. If the governor had asked the state biologists, they would have told him this.
That is the entirety of the letter.
First of all, there is no scientific evidence that proves the absurd statement that if you kill some coyotes, "those remaining will produce more pups to fill the loss of numbers". That's a myth that has been perpetuated by protectors of predators, like the coyote, as a means to dishonestly deceive the public in order to drum up support for private and personal agendas.
There are few that will argue that attempting to control predators can be achieved with one season of killing. It's an ongoing thing. If the desired number of coyotes can be achieved with a required amount of effort, the task of managing a stable population is much easier.
The second issue is that the author says that if the governor had asked the state biologists, they would have told him that the coyotes would reproduce more coyotes to fill the void. That statement is probably true because most of the biologists at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and wildlife agencies all over the world, are predator protectors and have been indoctrinated to believe the same myth the author has. Therefore, the lie is perpetuated with very few people ever challenging the concept. What a travesty!
All of this is the product of non scientific brainwashing, convincing non thinking students that nature balances itself out. That if man was somehow taken out of the equation, some kind of nirvana would ensue and all would be well. Odd that they would perpetuate this myth being that if it were true, why would any state NEED a fish and wildlife department, wasting millions of dollars each year for something they seem to think would be handled just fine without them.
Dr. Valerius Geist, a foremost wildlife scientist and professor emeritus at the University of Calgary, calls the idea of this kind of wildlife management thought as "intellectual rubbish". But why waste my time attempting to help people understand the truth when the truth doesn't fit their narrative?
I challenge all readers to make an attempt at learning that there is no such thing as a self-regulated ecosystem; at least not in the Disneyesque sense of things. It may surprise you to know that there does not exist a system of ecology, i.e. ecosystem. That it's not a system at all, leading people to believe it is some kind of well-oiled machinery. In reality nothing is ever static therefore there can be no balance.
Left to mother nature, reality would scare most people, with large swings of near extinction of some species, starvation and disease. That's how mother nature does it.
But that didn't stop the coiners of the term ecosystem, again to deceive the public and gain their support knowing people are just all too eager to believe what they are told and not think for themselves and discover the truth on their own.
If you are actually interested in truth and not someone's "intellectual rubbish", you can begin by reading an article I wrote a couple years ago about Dr. Valerius Geist's comments on natural balance and self regulation. There you will find links to scientific articles and studies that will help you understand how everything is constantly changing. Wildlife does not become balanced and remain static by itself. It is in constant flux, influenced by a host of ever changing conditions and circumstances and often leaving the forests with what is known as a predator pit; void of any population of prey species and dominated by predators. Follow the links and continue your own research. It's not easy but sometimes discovering facts is not. It's fascinating stuff and the truth will set you free.
If you really are a believer in the conservation of all wild things, then do yourself a favor and first, stop reading and believing the garbage being put out by fish and wildlife agencies, media and environmentalists that are agenda-driven and dishonest. The conservation is about conserving ALL wildlife not protecting one species at the expense of others.

How Long Does It Take for Car Inquiries to Drop Off for One Car?
An inquiry will stay on your credit report for two years from the date of the inquiry. However, the effect of the inquiry on credit scores will start to decline right away.
FICO® does not include any inquiries in the score calculation after 12 months. Even then, the effects of inquiries on your score are minimal and the impact decreases over time. Typically, over two or three months, the inquiry has little or no effect at all.
If you are shopping for a car loan, an inquiry from each lender that reviewed the application will be on the report, but the credit scoring systems will recognize them as one inquiry if they were made within a certain period of time. Therefore, they will have little to no effect on the score at all.
You can shop for the best car loans and not have to worry about inquires. The same is true with mortgage loans.
Inquiries are the least important factor in credit scores.

Washington DC: Civil Rights Groups Call For Congressional Action On Fatal Police Shootings
Posted on 04/10/2018 by Harlem World Magazine — Leave a reply
The American Civil Liberties Union, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc. (LDF), called on Congress today to take action in response to the national crisis of fatal police shootings.
The leading civil rights groups voice their concern in the wake of the killing of three Black men — Stephon Clark, Danny Ray Thomas, and Saheed Vassell — by police in recent weeks, as well as the more than 1,000 people killed by police in 2017 alone, and the 300 people shot and killed by police thus far in 2018. In many of these cases, victims were unarmed or experiencing mental health crises.
Advocates submitted a letter to the congressional Working Group on Policing Strategies, which was formed in 2016, noting that "our nation's conscience has been rocked by a series of tragic events that have resulted in the loss of too many lives." And yet in the two years since — let alone in the four years since Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 — little progress has been made towards the Working Group's reported goals of "end[ing] excessive force" and "strengthen[ing] police accountability."
According to these sources, Black people are still three times more likely than white people to be killed by police. People of color represent more than 50 percent of those unarmed during fatal encounters with police. The data indicates police violence and racial bias to be a systemic problem, not simply the result of "a few bad actors."
While the current Congress fails to advance or even consider any meaningful police reform legislation, the public continues to rely on open sources to provide a national census of fatal police shootings. According to these sources, Black people are still three times more likely than white people to be killed by police. People of color represent more than 50 percent of those unarmed during fatal encounters with police. The data indicates police violence and racial bias to be a systemic problem, not simply the result of "a few bad actors."
"One thousand people are killed by police every year, many of them of color, and many of them of unarmed," said Jesselyn McCurdy, deputy director at the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "We cannot accept fatal police shootings of this magnitude as business as usual. The crisis we find ourselves in means everyone has new work to do, and this includes members of Congress. We are calling upon our federal lawmakers to provide the necessary oversight, resources, and policy to end this epidemic of police violence."
Todd A. Cox, LDF's policy director, said, "The deaths of Stephon Clark, Danny Ray Thomas, and Saheed Vassell underscore the urgent need for Congress to pass life-saving policing reform legislation. Our nation's lawmakers must finally take action to require national data collection on police use of force and de-escalation training rather than advancing unnecessary punitive measures that threaten to put Black and Brown lives at greater risk."
"Our justice system should be fair and impartial, but the sad reality is that it is still rife with systemic racial discrimination," said Kristine Lucius, executive vice president of policy for The Leadership Conference. "Recent police killings of unarmed Black people and other people of color make it clear why it is imperative for Congress to act to restore the trust between law enforcement and the communities they are sworn to protect and serve."

PETERS, MATTHEW WILLIAM (1742–1814), portrait and historical painter and divine, was born in the Isle of Wight in 1742. His father, Matthew Peters, is described as 'of the Isle of Wight, gent.;' he appears to have held a post in the customs at Dublin, where the son was brought up (Foster, Alumni Oxon. 1715–1886). There he attended the school of design, of which Robert West was then master. In 1759 he obtained a premium from the Society of Arts. He joined the Incorporated Society of Artists, and exhibited in Spring Gardens portraits, principally in crayons, from 1766 to 1769. He also exhibited two works at the Free Society of Artists. It is probable that he had been to Italy before 1766, as his contributions in that year included 'A Florentine Lady in the Tuscan Dress' and 'A Lady in a Pisan Dress.' In 1769 he was living in Welbeck Street, Portman Square, and, besides seven portraits at Spring Gardens, he had one at the exhibition (the first) of the Royal Academy. Except in 1772, 1775, and 1779, he exhibited regularly at this academy till 1780, though he spent some portion of this period in Italy, as his address is given as Venice in the catalogues of 1773 and 1774. While in Italy on this or another occasion (he visited Rome twice) he made a copy of Correggio's St. Jerome ('Il Giorno') at Parma, which is now in the church of Saffron Walden, Essex. He was elected an associate of the academy in 1771, and a full member in 1777. The only portraits to which names are given in the catalogues are 'Mr. Wortly Montagu in his dress as an Arabian Prince' (1776) and 'Sir John Fielding as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for the City of Westminster' (1778). He also seems to have painted a portrait of his father, which was engraved by J. Murphy in 1773 (Bromley). Besides portraits, he exhibited 'A Girl making Lace' (1770), 'A Woman in Bed,' 'A Country Girl,' and 'St. John' (1777), and 'A View of Liverpool' (1780).
He had now attained a considerable position as an artist; but for some years before this he had seriously turned his attention to the church, for which profession he had been intended in his youth. He matriculated from Exeter College, Oxford, on 24 Nov. 1779, and graduated B.C.L. in 1788; he took orders in 1783, and in the same year became rector of Eaton, Leicestershire. He did not exhibit in 1781 or 1782, but in 1783 he sent his second sacred subject, 'An Angel carrying the Spirit of a Child to Paradise.' This picture is at Burghley, and the angel is a portrait of Mary Isabella, afterwards wife of Charles, fourth duke of Rutland. In 1785 appeared his next and last contributions to the Royal Academy—'The Fortune Teller' and two full-lengths of noblemen (the Duke of Manchester and Lord Petre), 'grand-masters' of the Freemasons, for Freemasons' Hall.
He painted two other 'grand-masters,' the Duke of Cumberland and the prince-regent; several subjects for Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, from 'Much Ado about Nothing,' 'Henry VIII,' and 'The Merry Wives of Windsor,' and some religious pictures, one of which, the 'Annunciation,' he presented in 1799, as an altar-piece, to Exeter Cathedral. It was a subject of coarse ridicule by Paley, and was removed about 1853. Among others were 'Cherubs,' 'The Guardian Angel,' and the 'Resurrection of a Pious Family,' the last of which was sold at Christie's in 1886 for 23l. 2s. Many of his works were engraved by Bartolozzi, J. R. Smith, Marcuard, Simon, Thew, and Dickinson, and became very popular. Although never rising to the first rank, and severely attacked by such satirists as Peter Pindar (Dr. Wolcot) and Antony Pasquin (John Williams), he was a clever artist and pleasant colourist, and one or two of his scenes from Shakespeare (especially Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford reading Falstaff's love-letter) are animated with a sprightly humour. His portraits at Freemasons' Hall were burnt in the fire of 1883.
His career as a clergyman was prosperous. He became rector of Knighton, Leicestershire, and Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, in 1788, prebendary of Lincoln Cathedral in 1795, and chaplain to the Marquis of Westminster and the prince-regent. He married a niece of Dr. Turton, a physician of large practice, and died at Brasted Place, Kent, on 20 March 1814.

Q: updating the database after create action doesn't work set_bonus(member_id, cookie) method does not work. I'm trying to update the same model that that the self.set_signup_attribution(member_id, cookie, origin) returns.
The new_has_value variable returns {"currency"=>"usd", "type"=>"flat", "amount"=>1000}
Model.rb
# THIS METHOD WORKS
def self.set_signup_attribution(member_id, cookie, origin)
  return unless cookie.present?
  tracking_code = cookie

  else
    Rails.logger.info "Unknown Attribution Channel for tracking code: '#{ tracking_code }'"
  end
end

# THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK. UPDATES THE DATABASE.
def self.set_bonus(member_id, cookie)
  epoch = Member.find_by(id: member_id).attribution_epoch
  attribution_code = AttributionChannel.find_by(tracking_code: cookie)

        }
      end
    else
      "Do nothing"
    end
  else
    "Do nothing"
  end
  #cookie = nil
  binding.pry
end

Controller.rb
def index
  unless session[:just_signed_up]
    redirect_back_or_settings_page
  end
  Attribution.set_signup_attribution(current_user, cookies[:visit_attr], request.referer)
  Attribution.set_bonus(current_user, cookies[:visit_attr])
  session[:just_signed_up] = false
  @email = current_user.email
end

How do I go about this? That is what I have tried and doesn't work. Can I merge set_bonus method to set_signup_attribution method or something?
Any help will be appreciated.
So drilling this further:
I merged set_bonus with set_signup_attribution and the two fields (bonus_amount and bonus_currency) which set_bonus method is supposed to update returns nil:
Attribution.create!(
  {
    event: Attribution::SIGN_UP,
    attribution_channel: attribution_channel,
    associated: associated_member_record,
    extra: origin
  }.merge(self.set_bonus(member_id, cookie).to_h)
)

With this drill after using binding.pry on that set_bonus method, I figured out it worked but it's returning nil and I don't know why. Could it be because member_id is not available in the model or something?

A: in your if statement you should call set_bonus method on appropriate object.
    attribution = Attribution.create!({
      event: Attribution::SIGN_UP,
      attribution_channel: attribution_channel,
      associated: associated_member_record,
      extra: origin
    })
    attribution.set_bonus(member_id, cookie) if attribution.persisted?

Just be careful as .create! will raise an error in case there is something wrong, so maybe would be better to use
  attribution = Attribution.new(.....)
  if attribution.save
    attribution.set_bonus(.....)
  else
    Rails.logger.info  attribution.errors
  end

I hope this would help.
Cheers

About This Photograph
Adele Druteikaite-Jankauskiene was a young woman living in Utena, Lithuania when in 1941 she was asked to hide the young son of a local Jewish family. She sheltered him for two or three weeks. The Kaufmans were among the over 2,000 Jewish residents of the approximately 6,300 person community to experience persecution at the hands of German occupiers and Lithuanian collaborators following the occupation of Utena in late June 1941. It is unknown when the Kaufman family left their young son with Adele, though it may have been following a decree from July 1 when 2,000 Jewish residents were ordered to leave the town for a camp in the Silne forest. It is also possible that the family remained in the ghetto located within the synagogue on Ezero street where a number of Jews were forced to live behind fences and barbed wire in deplorable conditions. The specific details concerning the fate of the Kaufman family, however, are unknown. Adele later recalled that the family were among the thousands of Jews from Utena and the surrounding district who wereshot in the Rase forest. The first of these mass shootings, carried out by the Nazis and their Lithuanian collaborators, took place on July 3 when the first bands of Jews were taken from the Silne camp to the Rase forest where they were shot. The mass shooting actions continued until August 29th when the last women, children, and elderly men of Utena and the surrounding area were also rounded up and killed. Though the Kaufmans did not survive the Holocaust, Adele Druteikaite-Jankauskiene saved some of their family photographs which were shared with researchers in later years. The memorial book for the Jewish community of Utena records the name of Yaakov Kaufman and Yitchak Kaufman.

The Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) has officially laid down arms and combatants of the Front have returned to Ethiopia from their base in Eritrea. The move followed a peace agreement reached with the Ethiopian government in Asmara last month.
In 2007, the ONLF attacked a Chinese petroleum exploration site in Ogaden, killing 74 people – 65 Ethiopians and 9 Chinese nationals.
Combatants of the ONLF were warmly welcomed in Jigjiga today, the capital of the Somali region in Eastern Ethiopia, as officials described the new development as 'good news' for the people of the Somali region.
Abdulahi Hussien, media advisor to the regional president, told ESAT that the return of the ONLF to a peaceful political struggle has been welcomed by the people and government of the Somali people. He said the return of ONLF would augment the ongoing positive political reforms in the country.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hussien said the youth group known as "Hego" which was formed by the ex-regional president Abdi Illey to destabilize the region, has been rooted out. Abdi Mohamed Omer, a.k.a. Abdi Illey was arrested in August for violations of human rights, inciting ethnic and religious conflict in the Somali region.
The regional government revealed a week ago that several mass graves have been found with hundreds of bodies. It said it is finalizing a report on the discovery of the mass graves and would be made public soon.

Mike Ballerino (* 10. April 1901 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA; † 4. April 1965 in Tampa, Florida, USA) war ein US-amerikanischer Boxer und Weltmeister im Superfedergewicht.

Profikarriere
Ballerino war im Ring weder ein "Gentleman" noch ein "Großmaul". Sein Ziel war es Weltmeister zu werden. Am 15. Oktober im Jahr 1924 boxte er gegen seinen Landsmann Steve Sullivan um diesen Gürtel. Ballerino musste sich jedoch in einem auf 15 Runden angesetzten Kampf bereits in der 5. Runde durch klassischen K. o. geschlagen geben. Den direkten Rückkampf, der genau zwei Monate später stattfand und nur auf 10 Runden angesetzt war, gewann Ballerino nach Punkten und wurde somit universeller Weltmeister im Weltergewicht.

Im April des darauffolgenden Jahres bezwang er Sullivan ein zweites Mal. Der US-Amerikaner Tod Morgan nahm ihm den Weltmeistergürtel am 2. Dezember im Jahre 1925 mit einem technischen Knockout in der 10. Runde ab.
Nach dieser Pleite war Ballerino nie mehr "der Alte" und musste fast nur noch Niederlagen hinnehmen. Sein letzter Kampf, den er auch verlor, fand am 27. Juni 1928 in Pennsylvania statt.

Q: How to restore a model by filename in Tensorflow r12? I have run the distributed mnist example:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/r0.12/tensorflow/tools/dist_test/python/mnist_replica.py
Though I have set the
saver = tf.train.Saver(max_to_keep=0)
In previous release, like r11, I was able to run over each check point model and evaluate the precision of the model. This gave me a plot of the progress of the precision versus global steps (or iterations).
Prior to r12, tensorflow checkpoint models were saved in two files, model.ckpt-1234 and model-ckpt-1234.meta. One could restore a model by passing the model.ckpt-1234 filename like so saver.restore(sess,'model.ckpt-1234').
However, I've noticed that in r12, there are now three output files model.ckpt-1234.data-00000-of-000001, model.ckpt-1234.index, and model.ckpt-1234.meta.
I see that the the restore documentation says that a path such as /train/path/model.ckpt should be given to restore instead of a filename. Is there any way to load one checkpoint file at a time to evaluate it? I have tried passing the model.ckpt-1234.data-00000-of-000001, model.ckpt-1234.index, and model.ckpt-1234.meta files, but get errors like below:
W tensorflow/core/util/tensor_slice_reader.cc:95] Could not open logdir/2016-12-08-13-54/model.ckpt-0.data-00000-of-00001: Data loss: not an sstable (bad magic number): perhaps your file is in a different file format and you need to use a different restore operator?

I'm running on OSX Sierra with tensorflow r12 installed via pip.
Any guidance would be helpful.
Thank you.

A: I also used Tensorlfow r0.12 and I didn't think there is any issue for saving and restoring model. The following is a simple code that you can have a try:
import tensorflow as tf

# Create some variables.
v1 = tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([784, 200], stddev=0.35), name="v1")
v2 = tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([784, 200], stddev=0.35), name="v2")

# Add an op to initialize the variables.
init_op = tf.global_variables_initializer()

# Add ops to save and restore all the variables.
saver = tf.train.Saver()

# Later, launch the model, initialize the variables, do some work, save the
# variables to disk.
with tf.Session() as sess:
  sess.run(init_op)
  # Do some work with the model.

  # Save the variables to disk.
  save_path = saver.save(sess, "/tmp/model.ckpt")
  print("Model saved in file: %s" % save_path)

# Later, launch the model, use the saver to restore variables from disk, and
# do some work with the model.
with tf.Session() as sess:
  # Restore variables from disk.
  saver.restore(sess, "/tmp/model.ckpt")
  print("Model restored.")
  # Do some work with the model

although in r0.12, the checkpoint is stored in multiple files, you can restore it by using the common prefix, which is 'model.ckpt' in your case.

A: The R12 has changed the checkpoint format. You should save the model in the old format.
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.core.protobuf import saver_pb2
...
saver = tf.train.Saver(write_version = saver_pb2.SaverDef.V1)
saver.save(sess, './model.ckpt', global_step = step)

According to the TensorFlow v0.12.0 RC0's release note:

New checkpoint format becomes the default in tf.train.Saver. Old V1
  checkpoints continue to be readable; controlled by the write_version
  argument, tf.train.Saver now by default writes out in the new V2
  format. It significantly reduces the peak memory required and latency
  incurred during restore.

see details in my blog.

A: You can restore the model like this:
saver = tf.train.import_meta_graph('./src/models/20170512-110547/model-20170512-110547.meta')
            saver.restore(sess,'./src/models/20170512-110547/model-20170512-110547.ckpt-250000'))

Where the path '/src/models/20170512-110547/' contains three files:
model-20170512-110547.meta
model-20170512-110547.ckpt-250000.index
model-20170512-110547.ckpt-250000.data-00000-of-00001

And if in one directory there are more than one checkpoints,eg: there are checkpoint files in  the path
./20170807-231648/:
checkpoint
model-20170807-231648-0.data-00000-of-00001
model-20170807-231648-0.index
model-20170807-231648-0.meta
model-20170807-231648-100000.data-00000-of-00001
model-20170807-231648-100000.index
model-20170807-231648-100000.meta

you can see that there are two checkpoints, so you can use this:
saver =    tf.train.import_meta_graph('/home/tools/Tools/raoqiang/facenet/models/facenet/20170807-231648/model-20170807-231648-0.meta')

saver.restore(sess,tf.train.latest_checkpoint('/home/tools/Tools/raoqiang/facenet/models/facenet/20170807-231648/'))

A: OK, I can answer my own question. What I found was that my python script was adding an extra '/' to my path so I was executing:
saver.restore(sess,'/path/to/train//model.ckpt-1234')
somehow that was causing a problem with tensorflow.
When I removed it, calling:
saver.restore(sess,'/path/to/trian/model.ckpt-1234')
it worked as expected.

A: use only model.ckpt-1234
at least it works for me

A: I'm new to TF and met the same issue. After reading Yuan Ma's comments, I copied the '.index' to the same 'train\ckpt' folder together with '.data-00000-of-00001' file. Then it worked!
So, the .index file is sufficient when restoring the models.
I used TF on Win7, r12.


Those striking red berry clusters are edible!!
Believe it or not, you can make the most refreshing summer beverage from these fuzzy sumac berry clusters!
Foragers call it sumac-ade, or wild lemonade.
The flavor of Wild Pink Lemonade is really complex and interesting.
Take 2 or 3 sumac clusters .
Stuff them into a large jar.
Pour cool water over to fill .
Cap and let it sit for a few hours, then stick it in the fridge.
Give it a taste – chances are it will be quite sour. Dilute with more water to your liking.
Sweeten or not... it's terrific either way.
This is poison sumac, pictured above.
Lucky for us, the good and the bad sumac berries don't look anything alike.
Poison sumac berries are loose and they dangle down from the branch. They are not red.
Edible sumac berries are a dense, upright, red cluster. That's what we want!!
When you find edible sumac, taste it before taking it - - put a fuzzy berry in your mouth. If it's good and lemony you'll know it!
Then just break off the berry cluster and take it home!
Staghorn sumac has very fuzzy stems, hence the name staghorn.
It has edible relatives that are similar, such as Smooth Sumac. Just make sure the berries are in a dense, upright, red cluster.
Edible sumac berries ripen in summer.
They start out with not much taste, but go on to give us the main ingredient for delicious wild lemonade!!
Tasty, full of vitamin C and antioxidants, and it's free!!!
Use cool or room temperature water when steeping your sumac, not hot water. Cool water brings out the best flavor.
When you strain your sumac, you can refill the jar to make a second batch! Try it. It will be less intense, but I find the extra batch is still great!
This is Staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina). The branches are hairy or fuzzy, like the velvet on a deer's antler.
There are many varieties of edible sumac around the world. The ones we see most commonly in Pennsylvania and New Jersey are staghorn sumac, smooth sumac and winged sumac.
Smooth sumac (Rhus glabra) is similar to staghorn sumac but not as hairy.
Smooth sumac twigs are smooth, and the berries have only tiny hairs.
But the berries of this species are every bit as lemony tasty as it's staghorn cousin.
Winged sumac (Rhus copallinum) has wings!
See the narrow wing-like protrusions along the stem between the leaflets?
Also known as shining sumac or dwarf sumac, this species has berry clusters that can be upright or drooping.
And again, they are deliciously lemony!
Sumac is commonly seen on roadsides and along sunny field edges.
Very common in eastern United States.
Once you find a stand of sumac trees, it's really easy to gather enough to make wild lemonade.
I prefer to use clippers to remove the red berry cluster, but you can usually do it by bending and twisting until it gives way.
Test out the flavor of each cluster before taking it. Remove one fuzzy little berry and taste. You'll be surprised at how some dark red berries may have little flavor, and some lighter ones may pack a pucker wallop! Recent rains can rinse away flavor.
Take home 4 - 6 clusters for each quart of drink. Collect more for storage. They last well in a cool, dry place. I use an open brown paper bag to keep sumac clusters for future use.
There's an extremely popular spice mixture in the Middle East called za'atar.
While the ingredients vary, za'atar usually includes ground sumac berries along with spices such as thyme, oregano and sesame seeds.
The sumac lends a pleasant tartness to the blend.
