Filming the city's darkest hours
A freelance cameraman keeps his eyes on the city at 4 a.m.
Freelance cameraman Peter Mills films an apartment fire in Scarbourgh at 4:30 a.m. Linda Vachon/Toronto Observer
By Linda Vachon
As the dark sky lingers, the screen from a laptop installed on the passenger seat brightens the inside of Peter Mills' black Jeep. The silence is interrupted by an occasional crackle from one of the nine scanners he uses to monitor fire, police and ambulance calls across the Greater Toronto Area.
Mills has been capturing scenes of late-night/early morning drama on Toronto's streets through the lens of his video camera for over 34 years. He listens for a certain type of scanner call, which will lead him to the type of scene a newsroom will want him to shoot.
"You get better footage because you're there quicker," says Mills, who prefers to work overnight.
"Usually the stuff shot from the night shift has a tendency to be a little more dramatic than the day shift stuff."
-Peter Mills
The downside to nights is trying to stay awake, he says. Coffee and energy drinks keep him fueled through the night.
On this night, Mills is chatting with a reporter when something catches his ear on the radio. He stops, replays the scanner call from Toronto Fire and within a minute he's tearing out of the parking to a residential fire in Scarborough. The address is 27 kilometres away, but with empty streets at 3:59 a.m., his drive will be a quick 24 minutes.
By 4:35 a.m., Mills has already filmed a variety of angles of the streams of smoke meandering out of a second floor apartment window in a Scarborough strip mall. He knows exactly what footage a news editor will pay for. It's why he is careful to exclude a shot of the giant Adult Video sign that dominates a large portion of the building's front.
Mills uploads the footage he has just taken to one of the several Toronto news outlets for whom he freelances. He only gets paid for the footage that goes to air.
He barely has time to pack up his equipment when he gets another call, this time about a gunshot victim being taken to Sunnybrook Hospital. It's 19 kilometers away. Once again, he races off through the city streets.
Last year, Toronto reached a record high of 96 homicides, prompting a call for greater gun control, including by Toronto Mayor John Tory. In his three decades as a cameraman, Mills says that he's seen an increase in the level of violence in the city, but he doesn't think a gun ban will be effective.
"(It's) not just gun violence, but stabbings, beatings. People just being knocked down and kicked in the head until they are unconscious and they can't get up," said Mills. "(It's) all sorts of violence, not just gun violence."
Mills says that the news footage he gathers overnight is important. "It's about keeping people up to date on what's happening in the city," he said.
As an independent operator, Mills has been less affected by the industry trends of shrinking newsrooms and the reduced number of videographers on staff.
To save money, some newsrooms are training their reporters to perform double duty by capturing video footage of a scene using a cellphone on top of their reporting duties.
"We like to call smartphones the Swiss Army knife of reporting," says Susan Newhook, assistant professor of journalism at the University of King's College in Halifax. She is referring to the fact that the devices come equipped with a lot of different apps and attachments to increase their versatility. She says that while they may not be the very best available, "they have a lot of tools."
Newhook says that those who resist the move to a mobile device because of the concern over video quality should give cellphones a try .
Mills says he thinks the quality of phones will soon surpass the quality of the video that he shoots on his current camera.
"If it was more cost effective, why not?" he says of the possibility of switching over to a cellphone.
As the sun rises, Mills will have driven over 50 kilometres from one end of the city and back. He ends his shift at the water's edge at Humber Bay. The downtown skyline is reflected in the stillness of the water. It's a perfect antidote to the earlier night's frenzy.

FDA provides update on forthcoming new era of smarter food safety blueprint
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently provided an update from FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn M.D. and Deputy Commissioner for Food Policy and Response Frank Yiannas on the forthcoming New Era of Smarter Food Safety Blueprint (Blueprint), which will outline the agency's strategy to create "a more digital, traceable, and safer food system" over the next decade. In a statement published online, the Agency states the Blueprint will be released "in the coming weeks." FDA also explains that the Blueprint was days away from being released in March, but was delayed by the shift in focus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since then, FDA has revised the Blueprint in light of the lessons learned during the pandemic. In the statement, FDA explains that COVID-19 "has accelerated the need" for some measures addressed in the Blueprint.
Enhanced Traceability Could Increase Supply Chain Visibility
Smarter Tools for Prevention, Protections for Foods Ordered Online
Food Safety Culture on the Farms, in Food Facilities, and at Home
The agency originally intended traceability technologies, such as blockchain, to expedite traceback of a contaminated food to its source during foodborne outbreaks. FDA now suggests that enhanced traceability has the additional potential to "provide greater supply chain visibility and potentially help the FDA and industry anticipate the kind of marketplace imbalances that resulted in the temporary spot shortages of certain commodities" during the COVID-19 pandemic. In other words, FDA believes "a digitized food system is likely to be a stronger, more agile, and resilient food system."
The forthcoming Blueprint will call for new and smarter tools to be used to conduct root cause analyses and anticipate likelihood of future contamination events. The Blueprint also calls for other new tools to be explored, such as virtual or remote inspections, which FDA says "would have been invaluable in the current public health emergency." Additionally, with more food being ordered online and delivered directly to consumers, the Blueprint will address the need for best practices to ensure that these foods are produced, packed, and transported safely directly to consumers.
The Blueprint will also address the establishment and support of food safety cultures on farms, in food facilities, and at home. In addition to addressing food safety culture on farms and in facilities, the agency acknowledges the importance of "educating consumers on the best food safety practices when cooking at home." FDA explains that government, industry, and consumers "must all work together to keep each other safe."
We will continue to provide updates on the New Era of Smarter Food Safety initiative. Please contact us if you have any questions on this or any other matter.

Nine Princes in Amber
The Chronicles of Amber, Book 1
Narrated by: Alessandro Juliani
Amber is the one real world, of which all others including our own Earth are but Shadows. Amber burns in Corwin's blood. Exiled on Shadow Earth for centuries, the prince is about to return to Amber to make a mad and desperate rush upon the throne.
FANTASTIC FANTASY
By DragonSlayer on 14-05-13
Culture Series, Book 1
By: Iain M. Banks
Narrated by: Peter Kenny
The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction - cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade....
A Truly Great Sci-Fi Novel

Methuselah's Children
By: Robert A. Heinlein
Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews
After the fall of the American Ayatollahs as foretold in Stranger in a Strange Land and chronicled in Revolt in 2100, the United States of America at last fulfills the promise inherent in its first Revolution: for the first time in human history there is a nation with Liberty and Justice for All. No one may seize or harm the person or property of another, or invade his privacy, or force him to do his bidding. Americans are fiercely proud of their re-won liberties and the blood it cost them; nothing could make them forswear those truths they hold self-evident. Nothing except the promise of immortality…

The Mote in God's Eye
By: Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle
Narrated by: L J Ganser
The Mote In God's Eye is their acknowledged masterpiece, an epic novel of mankind's first encounter with alien life that transcends the genre. No lesser an authority than Robert A. Heinlein called it "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read".
A classic showing its age
By Simon on 25-11-14
Narrated by: Bronson Pinchot
. C. "Scar" Gordon was on the French Riviera recovering from a tour of combat in Southeast Asia, but he hadn't given up his habit of scanning the personals in the newspaper. One ad in particular leapt out at him: "Are you a coward? This is not for you. We badly need a brave man. He must be 23 to 25 years old, in perfect health, at least six feet tall, weigh about 190 pounds, fluent English with some French, proficient with all weapons, some knowledge of engineering and mathematics essential...."
Enjoyable reading of perhaps Heinlein's best book
By BobBr on 26-09-12
Conrad Nomikos has a long, rich personal history that he'd rather not talk about. And, as arts commissioner, he's been given a job he'd rather not do. Escorting an alien grandee on a guided tour of the shattered remains of Earth is not something he relishes - especially since it is apparent that this places him at the center of high-level intrigue that has some bearing of the future of Earth itself. But Conrad is a very special guy....
Written by the late Roger Zelazny, This Immortal was originally published under the title ...and Call Me Conrad. It shared the 1966 Hugo Award for Best Novel with Frank Herbert's Dune.
©1966 Roger Zelazny (P)2008 Audible, Inc.
Hugo Award, Best Novel, 1966
The Guns of Avalon
The Hand of Oberon
The Halfling's Gem
Is Zelazny being forgotten?
Zelazny has always been a strange mixture of Hemmingway and Fantasy. He evokes a picture of a ravished world where his (anii-)hero has become an anachronism. If you like this book then be sure to read his Nine Princes in Amber series.
A well written story with a suitable narrator.

Oldie but goodie
I loved this. Short by my preferences, but interesting, textured and with a very satisfying ending.

Master of Sci-Fi
Picture this..
Earth is now a shadow of itself after going through a nuclear holocaust. The Vegan's have taken over - no no, not that type, picture Vogons (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). Conrad (the narrator) has been tasked with being the tour guide.. he's not keen on the idea.. but during this the Vegan's life is threatened and we find that it has become imperative that the Vegan stays alive... but why... the book gently takes you and carries you through to the end..
Definitely one of those books that I would put up there with:
Karel Capek - R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)
Aldous Huxley - Brave New World
BTW: those that have read my review will know I am quite particular about narration - has to be engaging and clear.. definitely a thumbs up here. Victor Bevine is definitely someone to follow.
Zelazney's humour and lyricism
I love Zelazney and this is one of my favourites. The reader is a bit too intense. He doesn't use enough inflection for my taste. He can do Zelazney's wonderful lyricism, but he doesn't emphasis the throw away humour, the great sense of timing and the bathos that undercut the lyricism. Conrad is complex, sincere,cynical and full of energy. He should sound more like Zorba the Greek or Steamboy, not like an English teacher.

Interesting early Zelazny work, better than some
I felt the performance was the best part, and I enjoy the main character. The beginning is a bit droll and hard to sit through, but once you're through with the exposition the story really does pickup quite a bit. Otherwise, if you're at all familiar with Zelazny, it's an interesting early work that shows the first stages of his unique style and tone. It does still feel like a novice work, however, in that his allusions are still more than a little forced, even intentionally self-conscious, but certainly without the seamless integration that is truly a hallmark of his later works. Listen to it, though, and enjoy it nonetheless.
Not my favorite Zelazny but still good
When reading Zelazny, you have to get the context in which it was wriiten, otherwise it just seems dated. Zelazny, Harlan Ellison and others were part of the "New Wave" of SF writers that ushered in a new age of SF to counter the post world war II "golden age" SF of the 1950s. Gone were the superhuman warrior heroes of Robert Heinlein and the rest. Now we had anti-heroes with human flaws and a more introspective/cynical world views. Having said that, Zelazny was still able to strike a balance between cynicism of the new and the romanticism of the old. This book, while not my favorite of his, still shows off Zelazny's power to blend Science, History and Ancient Myth. I also like the narrator they chose for this one. Good listen!
More Zelazny please
He was one of the finest writers in SF, and its nice to seem some audiobooks being made. I am not a purist and I would even purchase the Amber audiobooks. I have read Heinlein, Asimov, Herbert and a host of others and he is still one of the best.
Please more audiobooks from him. Thanks, James

great reading of a favorite book!
This has been one of my favorite books for years, and this recording is wonderful.
This book was boring and confusing, replete with many tongue twisting Greek names and references to ancient Greek myths. It was by an author that I liked and had won a Hugo award so it was a great disappointment.
Narration among the worst
Normally I really enjoy R.Z.'s books, but the narration of the beginning was so monotone with way too many long pauses. I could not even follow what the narrator was saying and did not even get past the first 10 minutes. Just to give you an idea how bad it was..."Gnash, Gnash the teeth. Clippity clop, the hooves" became "Gnash <pause> gnash <long pause> the teeth <longer long pause> clippity <pause> clop <long pause> the hooves." The pauses were so long it was actually hard to link the words together. Save your money and skip this version.

didn't understand it as a child or 50 years later
50 + years ago, when I read this as a child...I did not understand it one bit. So at the age of 67, I thought I would give it another try. Just as bewildered. This is one of the few books I just gave up on and did not finish.
There is wonderful imagery in this story...unfortunately the imagery is usually completely unrelated to any story line.
I never like to criticize a narrator, so I won't, but I will not compliment him on this performance either.
I have read some of the other reviews, and " a lot" of people like this book...I'm just not one of them.
The story just didn't stick with me,didn't like it
Pretty much struggled to finish and even was boring 80% of times. There were small nice bits though, but they don't deserve to stand up for the story.
Even for free, wouldn't get it and would not recommend others. But, if you like Greeks and their mythology and apocalypse world, may be, with a small chance you'll like it. But I think that even the apocalypse world and the story, scenery was developed poorly. And the whole thing is very wield!


Rob Lopez, Global Group Executive for Networking at Dimension Data, outlined four key areas his team explores when planning a network for the next-generation data center. The BPI Network shares his perspective with minor editing.
The biggest challenge facing companies right now is that they've got to move along with two major trends: cloud computing and the benefits they get from that. In a more mobile world, the networks they've already built were not designed to run and support those kinds of applications.
From a networking perspective, we stress four areas that are critical to building a hybrid system so it can operate properly across the wide area and into a cloud environment. These would complement topics stemming from the data center itself and other layers.
The first is an understanding of switch architectures – how you connect servers and storage into a data center, modern ways of doing it using software defined networks (SDN) and driving the level of automation. We've come from that environment. We've always built networks in the data center component. We understand the security implications, how you have got to set up virtual LANs when you set up virtual servers and storage – those sorts of things. That on-premises data center component is critical, in terms of the way that we build and architect those services.
The second area centers on understanding what actually happens over the wide area. What are the things we can do at a network level that will actually accelerate the end user experience from an application performance point of view? That's critical because you're able to use networking techniques that are very application-specific to do things like load-balance or for wide area optimization.
Increasingly, we've seen clients move towards delivering cloud services. We address that through what's known as network function virtualization. We deliver those services through the cloud to give our clients on-premise and cloud applications. For example, security is something that we can spin up as a service.
The third one would be to ask how you actually manage a wider area environment to get the best possible cost and throughput and latency benefit. What we've seen there is that a number of our clients tended to have signed network agreements with single providers, particularly with a large brand telco that has clearing agreements with a whole bunch of other telcos.
What's happening is that the level of telecom services provided is moving from a single provider to multiple providers. Very often, you'll get better throughput and latency depending upon your application – just using things like broadband or VPN services – than you would out of a traditional multiprotocal label switching (MPLS) network.
If you are going to end up in an environment with multiple providers, we can take over the management of those carriers. We make can make sure you buy the right bandwidth from the right provider. We constantly arbitrage between them. This is the part of the industry that will be up for the most disruption. What we do as an independent systems integrator is to interconnect and manage contracts between multiple wide area providers.
The fourth area is network management. You're actually managing your networking infrastructure, your data center infrastructure, your security infrastructure, communications infrastructure and then multiple carriers in multiple areas. We provide can provide a management layer across all of that.
In like SDN or NFE, it's being able to automate as much of that as possible, so that when you are loading an application, you're able to figure out what the server and storage requirements are, what the VLAN requirements are, what the wide area connectivity requirements are, how you are going to secure that and actually drive as much of that provisioning of all of those resources in an automated manner. Then, we keep it managed. Keep it optimized. Again, that is all from a networking point of view. I think there's more detail my data center colleagues could discuss related to the actual server, storage and data center.

Delhi: Bureaucrat from Manipur attacked, wife, daughter molested
The bureaucrat, in his mid-fifties, was physically and verbally abused, and his wife and daughter molested, allegedly by a man over a minor collision between their cars at Rao Tula Ram road towards Moti Bagh flyover in south Delhi. (Hindustan Times)
A senior bureaucrat from Manipur and his family members, became the latest victims of road rage menace in the national capital on Tuesday night.
The bureaucrat, in his mid-fifties, was physically and verbally abused, and his wife and daughter molested, allegedly by a man over a minor collision between their cars at Rao Tula Ram road towards Moti Bagh flyover in south Delhi.
The man allegedly misbehaved with the bureaucrat's wife and daughter, grabbed their hair and pulled them out of their car. They touched the mother-daughter inappropriately and outraged their modesty, said police.
The crime occurred on a busy south Delhi stretch but nobody came forward to help the family and stop the man from sexually harassing the women.
This happened even as the women started crying and pleaded before the attacker to spare them. After attacking the family, he fled the crime scene as none of the onlookers dared to stop him, said a police officer.
The family members called the police control room and informed the police about the incident.
The only help one of the onlookers did to the police was that he provided them the registration number of the attackers' car. The passerby had clicked a photo of the car's registration number on his mobile phone.
Police said the car bore the registration number of Punjab and it was a private vehicle. Around 11.30 PM, the family reached the Moti Bagh flyover when suddenly an Alto car grazed past their four-wheeler while overtaking.
The man abruptly stopped his car in front of the family's car, blocking their way and forcing them to stop their vehicle.

Eyewitnesses told police that an argument broke out between them during which the two rained kicks and punches on the bureaucrat.
As his wife and daughter tried to intervene, the two pulled them out by their hair, molested and misbehaved with them. The attackers stopped only when the family members apologized.
A police team arrived at the crime scene after the attackers left. The family members were taken to Safdarjung Hospital for medical attention and discharged after treatment. The family filed a complaint and their statements were also recorded.
"A case under the sections of 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 341 (wrongful restraint), 354A (molestation/sexual harassment) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), was registered at the South Campus police station against the unknown men. We are in the process of identifying the suspects and bring them to book at the earliest," said Ishwar Singh, deputy commissioner of police (south).

Painting santos did not begin until later in life for me.I've always loved the Renaissance artists (Michaelangelo and Raphael) with their glorious and very spiritual images.
My love of art started at a young age when an elementary teacher introduced my classmates and I to fine art. Realizing that I had a real interest he nurtured my young talent and I'v been creating art ever since.
I have made many friends with artists that were involved with Traditional Spanish Colonial Art. With their mentoring and direction I learned to master the use of natural pigments and tinsmithing and all the cultural art that is my heritage.

Applications: The EAN113-3 monitor antenna is for communicating over short, medium and long range distances in the 2-30 MHz frequency range. Corrosion resistant materials are utilized throughout the antenna system, making long life possible in any climate. Features: The EAN113-3 is a multisectored circular array consisting of sixteen log periodic curtain antennas. Eight of the curtain antennas are horizontally polarized, the remaining eight are vertically polarized. The horizontal curtains are modified versions of the LPH-0406 log periodic antennas. Each prefabricated curtain consists of 21 dipoles supported by droppers from 2 horizontal catenaries. The modification process reduces the lower frequency coverage from 3 MHz down to 2 MHz by the addition of a termination assembly. Below three MHz, the gain rolls off and the radiation patterns broaden. Above 3 MHz the antenna is full sized, naturally resonant, efficient, and provides near constant radiation characteristics with frequency. The vertical curtains are modified versions of the LMV-0207 log monopole antennas. Each curtain consists of 11 triangular shaped radiating elements. The modification reduces the lower frequency from 3.5 MHz down to 2 MHz by the addition of a termination assembly. Below 3.5 MHz the gain begins to roll off and radiation patterns broaden. Above 3.5 MHz the antenna is full sized, naturally resonant, efficient, and provides near constant radiation characteristics with frequency.


One of my close friends loved the look of my first strawberry ladder that he wanted to make a batch of them! Ana Whites design is so easy and straight forward. We made a few minor tweaks in order to batch them a bit faster. In total we made 10, we were able to spread the love to family and friends as mothers day gifts. This was so much fun and to see everyones faces once they received their planted ladders was even better!
Nicely done. They look great side by side.
Those look so great! What a cool outdoor addition! How long did it take you to make 10 of these?
That's not bad at all! You guys rock!
Those are awesome! I think I need to do this instead of the shallow rain gutter system we have for our strawberries.
This is awesome. Would love to use these for an herb garden. Do you have the plans anywhere so I can do my own?

Foodie Update: I just made this cheesecake for the third time and it was raw in the middle so I can no longer vouch for this recipe. If you do try it, try pressure cooking it for at least 45 minutes. The only thing I changed was putting a piece of parchment on top of the pan to avoid water from getting inside.
When I discovered Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough making desserts in their online class Make The Most Of Your Pressure Cooker at Craftsy, I knew I had to try making one. I turned to their cookbook The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book: 500 Easy Recipes for Every Machine, Both Stovetop and Electric for inspiration. I wanted to bake in my Instant Pot!
I went to all sorts of stores searching for a 7″ spring form pan but with no luck. Then one day I discovered this pan at Value Village for $2! Sweet!
To prepare the Instant Pot for the process, first you are going to want to add 2 cups of water to the pressure cooker and then place the rack on the bottom.
You are also going to need what they refer to as a "sling" so you can get the pan out of the pressure cooker once it has done its magic.
You want two pieces of tin foil that are two feet long stacked on top of each other.
Fold in half lengthwise so you now have a long sling that is four layers thick.
I prepped the chocolate ahead of time by chopping up 8 oz of dark chocolate (mine was a mix dark and semi-sweet because that is what I had) and melting it slowly in a stainless steel bowl over over warm water.
To make the crust, I combined 1 1/4 cup chocolate baking crumbs and 5 tbsp of unsalted melted then cooled butter.
I had never used this pan before and it was second hand so to be safe I added a layer of parchment to the bottom to help avoid leakage. Then I greased it and trimmed off the excess.
I added the chocolate crumb butter mixture to the bottom of the pan and up the sides a little.
To make the filling I used my mixer but the recipe is written for those who have a food processor only. This is how I made it.
Cream 1 lb room temperature cream cheese with 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar. Add 1 whole egg first followed by 2 large eggs yolks, one at a time. Egg and yolks should be at room temperature. Then add the melted chocolate and 1/4 cup sour cream, regular or low fat.
Consistently scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp flour with a pinch of salt in it. Seasoning does not occur in their recipes often but a little salt is important so I added it to the recipe.
Scrape! Scrape! Scrape! Blend until creamy.
Smooth down top with spatula. Place pan on sling and then move and lower carefully into the pressure cooker.
Please note: Several people have written saying that water has gotten into their cheesecakes so make sure to add an additional layer of foil to prevent water from getting into the batter!
The recipe said to crimp the sling's ends inside. I did not really know what that meant so I just folded it over the top.
You are supposed to set your electric pressure cooker to max pressure for 25 minutes. Every setting appeared to be normal on mine so I used the meat setting.
Let it do its magic and then unplug the machine and let it return to normal pressure for 12-16 minutes.
Unlock and using the sling transfer pan to cooling rack for one hour. Unfasten, loosen and remove the collar of the cake. Let cake come to room temperature and then chill in the fridge overnight.
By folding the sling over the cheesecake, it kind of messed up the top of my cheesecake but I was not too worried. I just wanted to see if it actually cooked through.
Damn! Damn! Damn! This was soooooo good! Seriously. I usually find baking cheesecakes to be a bit of a pain so I do not make them very often but this was actually quite easy and fast. Yes, I had to make a sling but so what?
This cheesecake is absolutely delicious. So rich! I can see why you are supposed to use all dark chocolate, I will do that next time for sure. You really should not eat this without having a big mug of coffee or tea close by to help melt the decadence of this treat while you eat it.
I actually like the size of the cheesecake and do not mind that it is a lot smaller than other ones I have made in the past. We can only eat this one little piece at a time anyway so now nothing will go to waste.
I am beyond thrilled to have found a way to bake in the summer without turning on the oven. The fact that it did such a fantastic job excites me even more.
I give this recipe five out of five wooden spoons. It is foodie perfection.
OMG yes, it looks sooooooo rich!
It's crazy-rich! But in the best of ways. OMG, we're eating one little slice at a time like it's a giant truffle!
Going to experiment with my pressure cooker on this one. However , will need to wait until weather cools off . I think I'll need to break out the big canner , I'll let you know how it works out !!
You could always put the pressure cooker outside if it's an electric one! It's going to be crazy-hot today. I love the idea of baking with it during the summer. I hope you have as much luck with yours Wayne!
Thanks for all the hard work you do, Suzie.
Thanks Shell! We loved every bite of it!
Okay, this might be a stupid question but what are chocolate baking crumbs???!!!
You can see in the photo above that I used Oreo's baking crumbs which can usually be found near the boxed graham cracker crumbs in the baking aisle. I hope that helps!
With an Instant Pot use manual setting and desired time.
How did it turn out Amy? Great option with the chocolate wafers! Oh yes, go for the ganache and raspberries, nice call!
OMG!!!! Fabulous. I ended up putting in just 2 whole eggs because the second yolk broke. Still amazing. I cooked on high for 40 minutes because I used a 6″"pan.
Oh, and I used graham cracker crust since that was all I had.
Fantastic Deborah! I am thrilled to hear that yours worked well too, even with the bigger pan. Excellent!
I was wondering about mixing the eggs in. Everything I've read is that you have to be super careful adding the eggs and not beat to much. With this recipe you mix even more after adding the eggs combining the chocolate, sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Is this one more forgiving than most?
You must always do the eggs one at a time and make sure they are full incorporated before you add the next one. It's oK to beat them a while. You only have to worry about over beating once you put the flour in, you do not want to develop the gluten too much. I would say this is a pretty typical cheesecake recipe. And don't forget to scrape down the sides! You just want things to be incorporated, not whipped.
Woah! That is so strange Rina. I'm sorry it didn't turn out well, I wonder what went wrong? Sounds like yours turned out much thicker than mine did. I wonder if it had to do with the cream cheese?
Hi. Had a question regarding what you meant by unplugging machine and return to normal pressure? I've got a instant pot, does that mean unplug when the time is up and just let it sit for 12 mins. and then take it out? Do I QR before unplugging? Thank you, I just got my IP.
Hi Susan! I unplugged the machine after the Instant Pot beeped that it was done and let it return to normal pressure for 12-16 minutes. This allowed it to de-pressurize to normal. You do NOT quick release. I hope that helps!
It looks like you bought a glass pan or bowl then I noticed a springform pan. Which did you use for the cheesecake?
I used the small springform pan for the cheesecake Bob. Hope that helps!
Did I miss a link where it shows the recipe in recipe card format? I like to view it that way rather than read and scroll through ever picture.
My site got hacked via the recipe cards BTW.
Hi Suzie! Thanks for the detailed instructions and photos. I followed your recipe scrupulously, but my cake came out so wet and gooey that it was more like a chocolate mousse pie. Which was tasty, but not the cheesecake I was hoping for. I went over everything and double-checked that I'd gotten steps and quantities right. Do you have any idea what might have gone wrong? For one thing, when we took the cake out, it had standing water all over the top of it. We carefully tipped the pan to let it drain off. The top then dried into a reasonable skin. But the cake was wet and pudding-like. Any theories?
Oh no! That's so weird Julie. I have made this one two times without issues. Perhaps the pressure was too high which is why water got into it? I'm thinking next time you should cover the top with additional parchment paper to keep water from getting into the cake.
Oh no Susan, you too?! OK, good suggestion, cover the cake with foil! And yes, this is really worth it, so sorry there have been issues. I will update the post with this suggestion. Fingers crossed no one has this problem again!
I covered the cake with parchment and foil to cook and resulted with just a wee bit of moisture on top which I dabbed up with a napkin.
This cheesecake is sooo good! My guests loved it, albeit very rich… more leftovers for us!
Debi, you made me one heck of a happy foodie!!! Thank you so much for letting me know that yours came out OK. Makes me think my Instant Pot may be losing a bit of its pressure cooking juice and that the recipe is OK. Thanks for trying it and am so happy everyone loved it! Yes, it is super rich.
Question, Suzie. Why do you make a foil 'sling'? I've made many, many cheesecakes in my IP and have never made a foil sling. Just seems like a lot of extra work to me. I put 1 cup of cold/cool water in the bottom of the inner pot, put in the trivet and place my cheesecake pan on that. I've covered my cheesecakes with a variety of products and have found foil to be the best, so far. If covering your cheesecake with foil you do have to 'cook' it 5-10 minutes longer than if it were covered with parchment or food-grade paper towels, but there seems to be less condensate on the cheesecake. If there is a bit of condensate (fluid) on the cake, I dab it up with dry food-grade paper towels. Now, I'd like to know if I am the only one doing cheesecake this way. I'd appreciate some input. Thanks everyone! Happy IP'ing! And, thanks, Suzie for all your work.
That is what the cookbook said to do Iris and I did find it was easier to take out when still hot. Good to know about the paper towel trick for the condensation, thank you! I have no idea if the sling is a technique everyone else is using. If you don't need it, don't bother! I need all the help I can get getting that cheesecake safely out of there. Thanks for writing Iris and happy IP baking!

Three-year patient-reported visual function outcomes in diabetic macular edema managed with ranibizumab: The RESTORE extension study
Paul Mitchell, Pascale Massin, Susan Bressler, Cheryl D. Coon, Jennifer Petrillo, Alberto Ferreira, Neil M. Bressler
Objective:To determine the impact of ranibizumab 0.5 mg on patient-reported visual function over 36 months in individuals with visual impairment from diabetic macular edema.Methods:RESTORE comprises a phase 3, randomized, multicenter, 12 month core study and a 24 month open-label extension study. Eyes assigned to ranibizumab in the core study received ranibizumab for 36 months; eyes assigned to laser monotherapy in the core study received ranibizumab during the extension. The primary outcome was least-squares mean change in National Eye Institute 25-item Visual Functioning Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) overall composite and subscale scores.Results:Of 303 core study participants, 240 (79%) entered the extension, comprising 83 (35%) participants initially assigned to ranibizumab, 83 (35%) assigned to ranibizumab plus laser combination therapy, and 74 (31%) assigned to laser monotherapy. Least-squares mean (standard error) change in NEI VFQ-25 composite score from baseline to month 12 (+5.9 [1.5]; +5.0 [1.5], for the ranibizumab and combination therapy groups, respectively) decreased by month 36 (+4.1 [1.7]; +4.0 [1.7], respectively, from baseline to month 36) following reduced injection frequency relative to the core study. At 36 months, the least-squares mean (standard error) change in the laser monotherapy group was similar to that in the ranibizumab groups (+4.1 [1.8]). Most subscale scores showed outcomes similar to that for the composite score. The greatest NEI VFQ-25 gains were consistently observed in participants for whom the study eye was the better-seeing eye.Limitations:Patients entering the extension were not randomized, and 21% of the core study participants did not enter the extension, which may have affected the results.Conclusions:Gains in patient-reported visual function at month 12 among eyes receiving ranibizumab in the core study decreased slightly by 36 months. Eyes originally receiving laser monotherapy for 12 months then ranibizumab for 24 months achieved similar gains by 36 months to eyes receiving ranibizumab for 36 months.

text:
Folks-Sztyme (), or People's Voice in English, was a bilingual magazine published in Polish and Yiddish in Communist Poland between 1946 and 1991.

An homonymous newspaper existed before World War II. According to Henri Minczeles, the paper began to be circulated in 1946, from Łódź, but it moved to Warsaw after a few years. In 1953, the American Jewish Yearbook noted that "The only newspaper was the Communist Folks-Sztyme. It appeared four days a week and had an illustrated weekly supplement. Yiddishe Szriften, a monthly devoted to literature and art, continued to appear under the sponsorship of the Social and Cultural Union."

From 1956 onwards, it was published by the official Jewish association formed by the Communist authorities, the Social and Cultural Association of Jews in Poland ().

The editor from 1950 to 1968 was Hersz (Gregory) Smolar, and after 1968 successively Samuel Tenenblatt and Adam Kwaterko.

Due to the declining number of Jews in Poland, the number of his readers constantly decreased and it became a weekly in 1968. In 1991, it ceased operations and a year later it was replaced by the monthly The Jewish Word (Polish: Słowo Żydowskie, Dos Jidisze Wort).

title: Server Initialization
sidebar_label: Initialization
sidebar_position: 2
slug: /server-initialization/
---

Once you have [installed](/docs/v2/server-installation/) the Socket.IO server library, you can now init the server. The complete list of options can be found [here](/docs/v2/server-api/#new-Server-httpServer-options).

## Syntax

### CommonJS

```js
const httpServer = require("http").createServer();
const io = require("socket.io")(httpServer, {
  // ...
});

io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  // ...
});

httpServer.listen(3000);
```

### ES modules

Please see [here](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_enabling) for enabling ECMAScript modules in your Node.js project.

```js
import { createServer } from "http";
import Server from "socket.io";

const httpServer = createServer();
const io = new Server(httpServer, {
  // ...
});

io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  // ...
});

httpServer.listen(3000);
```

### TypeScript

First, you need to install the types: `npm i --save-dev @types/socket.io`

```ts
import { createServer } from "http";
import Server = require("socket.io");
import { Socket } from "socket.io";

const httpServer = createServer();
const io = new Server(httpServer, {
  // ...
});

io.on("connection", (socket: Socket) => {
  // ...
});

httpServer.listen(3000);
```

## Initialization

### Standalone

```js
const options = { /* ... */ };
const io = require('socket.io')(options);

io.on('connection', socket => { /* ... */ });

io.listen(3000);
```

You can also pass the port as the first argument:

```js
const options = { /* ... */ };
const io = require('socket.io')(3000, options);

io.on('connection', socket => { /* ... */ });
```

This implicitly starts a Node.js [HTTP server](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/http.html#http_class_http_server), which can be accessed through `io.httpServer`.

### Attached to an existing HTTP server

```js
const server = require('http').createServer();
const options = { /* ... */ };
const io = require('socket.io')(server, options);

io.on('connection', socket => { /* ... */ });

server.listen(3000);
```

With HTTPS:

```js
const fs = require('fs');
const server = require('https').createServer({
  key: fs.readFileSync('/tmp/key.pem'),
  cert: fs.readFileSync('/tmp/cert.pem')
});
const options = { /* ... */ };
const io = require('socket.io')(server, options);

io.on('connection', socket => { /* ... */ });

server.listen(3000);
```

### With Express

```js
const app = require('express')();
const server = require('http').createServer(app);
const options = { /* ... */ };
const io = require('socket.io')(server, options);

io.on('connection', socket => { /* ... */ });

server.listen(3000);
```

More information [here](http://expressjs.com/).

### With Koa

```js
const app = require('koa')();
const server = require('http').createServer(app.callback());
const options = { /* ... */ };
const io = require('socket.io')(server, options);

io.on('connection', socket => { /* ... */ });

server.listen(3000);
```

More information [here](https://koajs.com/).

## Notable options

The complete list of options can be found [here](/docs/v2/server-api/#new-Server-httpServer-options). Here are those which you will most likely use:

### `perMessageDeflate` option

Default value: `false`

The WebSocket server provided by the [ws](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws) package supports the [permessage-deflate extension](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7692), which enables the client and server to negotiate a compression algorithm and its parameters, and then selectively apply it to the data payloads of each WebSocket message.

Starting from Socket.IO v2.4.0 (and in v3), this extension is now disabled by default, because it adds a significant overhead in terms of performance and memory consumption (and the ws maintainers [suggest](https://github.com/websockets/ws#websocket-compression) to only enable it if it is really needed).

For previous versions, you can disable it with:

```js
const io = require('socket.io')({
  perMessageDeflate: false
});
```

### `maxHttpBufferSize` option

Default value: `10e7`

This defines how many bytes a message can be, before closing the socket. It defaults to `10e7` (100MB). You may increase or decrement this value depending on your needs.

```js
const io = require('socket.io')({
  maxHttpBufferSize: 1e5
});
```

It matches the [maxPayload](https://github.com/websockets/ws/blob/master/doc/ws.md#new-websocketserveroptions-callback) option of the ws package.

Amazon's Haven set to disband
The much-touted partnership between Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway comes to an end after just three years.
By Emily Payne | January 04, 2021 at 12:56 PM
Though the news is a bit of a surprise, there were signs that the venture was not living up to the hype.
It was the venture set to reinvent employer-sponsored health care, even before it had a name. But Haven, the much-touted partnership between Amazon, JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway, has announced it will be disbanding after only three years.

Q: unable to compile program on dev-c++? Downloading the new version fixed my problem thanks for the help.
I can't compile my program and I have no idea why? I have searched quite hard to find any reason why this is happening with no results. I am just trying to run the default example that dev-c++ gives you this is what it spits out
This is the compile log
Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Users\alex\Desktop\C++\test2\Makefile.win"
Executing  make...
make.exe -f "C:\Users\alex\Desktop\C++\test2\Makefile.win" all
g++.exe -c main.cpp -o main.o -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/include"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/backward"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/mingw32"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"

make.exe: *** [main.o] Error -1073741819

Execution terminated

A: I translated -1073741819 to hexadecimal number (using Windows calculator):
-1073741819 = 0xC0000005
There is a table of all NTSTATUS Values on MSDN. The relevant row:

0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
The instruction at 0x%08lx referenced memory at 0x%08lx. The memory could not be %s.

This sounds like OP's g++ is somehow broken as it looks for me that make.exe reports the exit code -1073741819 of g++.
In my 20 years professional experience, I had some rare cases where certain specific wrong C++ code made my compiler crashing (instead of just reporting an error). It did not happen for years anymore.
The OP's sample code
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int name(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  system("PAUSE");
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

looks IMHO much too innocent to cause such a compiler bug like mentioned above.
So, I agree with the advice of Yunnosch:
Try g++ --version on console (e.g. cmd.exe). a) Check of g++ is runnable at all. b) Have a look whether the version is not too outdated.
You may check also whether concurrent installations of tools with equal name are accidentally mixed somehow. This may happen e.g. by having conflicting locations in the PATH environment variable.
