The Children's Coach Award is a new award that caters for those coaching with the 8 - 12 year old age group.
There are now three streams of Coach award where a coach will initially qualify to operate unassisted: Athletics Coach, Coach in Running Fitness and Children's Coach. The entry route to each of these awards is via the new Coaching Assistant award, this will feed directly forward to whichever coach stream the coach elects to follow. We do however recognise that the entry points are variable and there maybe coaches entering this programme from Level 1 - 4 or UKCC 1 - 2 backgrounds.
This course is not suitable for those that have previously only completed the old Children in Athletics award, they would need to complete the Coaching Assistant course prior to embarking on this programme.
UKA Children's Coaches should engage children in fun activities that have the clear purpose of developing techniques and skills, primarily within a multi-skill and multi-event environment. Children should be motivated in athletics by actively participating in developmentally appropriate challenges that are structured to make use of fun competition in an effective and balanced manner. Young children should develop athleticism in an environment that is child-centred; safe, enjoyable, inclusive, well organised, with activities that are appropriate to their developmental stage and needs and that will enhance their overall health and well-being.
This programme aims to provide potential Children's Coaches with the skills, knowledge and opportunities to lead and develop fun, engaging and appropriate athletics programmes, providing an enjoyable and positive first experience of athletics. The award does not distinguish or pressure performance development but has at its heart child development, active lifestyle and participation as its key messages.
The Children's Coach will be required to plan termly sessions of athletics (Activity Program), developing both skill across a range of run, jump and throw activities, fundamental movement skills and increase physical fitness and health through participation in regular activity. They should have a good knowledge base of the run, jump throw aspects of athletics and how they apply these to early stages and an awareness building to a working knowledge of all UKA and Home Country athletics products that support child development, i.e. Sportshall athletics and Athletics 365.
With new government proposed ratios of Coach to Young Athletes being set at 1:10 with always two adults present, the organisational side of the role and ability to work with other Coaches, Coaching Assistants and Athletics Leaders is essential to the success of the Children's Coach. Group size control and challenging culture within the athletics club to ensure that children and athletics can be truly developed will be a key challenge of the newly qualified Children's Coach.
Anyone wishing to attend the Children's Coach programme will need to complete an application form and sign up to the terms and conditions of being a Coach. Forms should be submitted to the education team in the relevant Home Country.
In addition to the application to be licensed, Coaches require a current UKA DBS check; DBS checks are not transferable between sports and other organisations therefore UKA must have a new check made. The DBS itself is free for club volunteers.
For details on how to arrange a DBS check please click here.
Once candidates have registered for the Children's Coach programme they should access uCoach to view resources relating to the programme and the Coach role. Prior to attending day one of the course an Induction Pack should be completed. Candidates should begin work on this documentation as soon as they have booked onto the programme and it must be completed in the two weeks leading up to the first day of the course. Candidates will be at a disadvantage if they have not completed this pre-course preparation as tutors are unable to spend time reviewing subject areas that have not been addressed though pre-course study.
If a candidate's club is unable to provide a Support Coach they should contact their Regional / National Coach Education contact who will be able to signpost them to appropriate Support Coaches in their area.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT ON THE PROGRAMME?
Prior to attendance, candidates will be expected to access, read and complete the Induction Pack and familiarise themselves with the programme resources.
Candidates will be required to coach a group of athletes and to have identified a Support Coach to mentor and assist them throughout and beyond the programme. Clubs, Athletics Networks or Club and Coach Support Officers should be able to advise.
The programme contact time consists of three full days; the first two days are over a weekend with the third day following approximately six weeks later (9 am – 5pm each day). Candidates will be required to attend all three days and engage in two periods of supported practice.
The programme combines classroom-based activity and practical sessions so candidates should come dressed for light exercise, which could take place indoors or outside, and should be prepared for all weather conditions. If there are any medical reasons why an individual cannot take part in activity they should let the tutors know at the beginning of the day.
Throughout the day candidates will be expected to actively engage in all sessions including coaching group activities and participate while others are coaching (where possible). There should be a morning and afternoon break and a lunch break. Please note that lunch is not provided and it is recommended to bring a drink as there is no guarantee of refreshments at all venues. Candidates will be provided with an On Course Workbook to record any learning on the course days, please remember to bring a pen.
Candidates will be required to complete and submit a written Coaching Diary for assessment based on their experience during supported practice and delivery to their profiled athletes. The Coaching Diary must be successfully completed to secure the subsequent place on the Observed Practical Assessment day. The practical assessment is available after day three and the second period of supported practice to allow time for completion of the Coaching Diary.
On the practical day itself, candidates will complete a multiple choice test paper on material covered on course including an assessment of underpinning technical knowledge. After the technical test the Observed Practical Assessments will begin and candidates will deliver two parts of a session while being observed by an assessor. They will also be required to play the role of an "athlete" in the assessments of fellow coaches (where possible). If a candidate is physically unable to take part they should inform the Home Country when their assessment day is confirmed and the assessor at the beginning of the day.
A document entitled "Assessment Guidance for Athletics Coaches" is available. It is strongly recommended that candidates who are considering getting involved in this programme should read this document to raise their awareness of the requirements of the programme in advance of booking, to ensure they are booking on the correct programme for their development needs and for the environment they will be working in.

While both upper sections always rotate, the lower section rotates only on the locked wheel. With the central rotor moving clockwise, only the right click-wheel is locked. With the central rotor moving counterclockwise, only the left click-wheel is locked. This is the difference that allows the mechanism to utilize rotor rotation in both directions.

Futurism, Richard Humphreys (1999 Tate Publishing)
The future of Futurism has come and gone, and in some ways it was exactly what Futurists wanted. They demanded speed, noise, and violence, after all, and the twentieth century provided enormous amounts of all three. And when I say "demanded", that is exactly what I mean: like a political party, the Futurists had a manifesto, penned by Filippo Marinetti. Clause nine was this:
We want to glorify war – the only cure for the world – militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for woman.
And if you're thinking that sounds rather, well, fascist, you're right, because Futurism, despite being an avant-garde, fetishistically modern movement, was closely allied with Italian fascism. If that news comes as a surprise when you open this book, prepare for another surprise as you leaf through it, because Futurist art, at least from masters like Umberto Boccioni or Giacomo Balla, is actually interesting, even, whisper it, skilful. Sometimes attractive too.
What it isn't, however, is particularly distinctive: much of the art reproduced in this book could have appeared in other books in the series, which covers movements in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth-century avant-garde like Cubism, Minimalism, and Surrealism. No, what makes Futurism distinctive is its bombast, its manifestos, and its political allegiances. They're all described here, and refreshingly they're not described in the usual stale bourgeois academese of most modern criticism in the arts.
That's not to say all the text is worth reading: for me, analysing a picture is like analysing a joke: it destroys any spontaneous enjoyment. Art is about images and intuition; analysis is about words and logic. They take place in different parts of the brain and they shouldn't be mixed. Perhaps that's why it's easier to take Futurist paintings seriously than it is to take Futurist prose:
We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness. The essential elements of our poetry will be courage, audacity and revolt.
Perhaps the most appropriate response to Futurism in theory was Evelyn Waugh's vignette in Brideshead Revisited (1945) of Futurism in action:
We were joined by a Belgian Futurist, who lived under the, I think, assumed name of Jean de Brissac la Motte, and claimed the right to bear arms in any battle anywhere against the lower classes. (Part II, 3)
The battle in this instance was against the lower classes of Britain during the General Strike, and the attempt to join it ended like this:
Jean, who joined another company, had a pot of ferns dropped on his head by an elderly widow in Camden Town and was in hospital for a week.
But the embers of Futurism are glowing yet, and this book is a good short survey of the pre-war fires of energy and excitement that created them.

Note: Post the appalling news from America, we in the close-knit Papyrocentric community feel this is a highly appropriate moment to re-publish this searing indictment of racism, hate and Other-phobia first issued in 2005 by the literary activist Dr Nigel M. Goldbaum (who is, of course, the life-partner of longstanding Papyrocentric favorite Dr Miriam B. Stimbers).
Faut-il Brûler Smith? (Con)futing the Hate Speech of Klarkash-Ton
by Dr Nigel M. Goldbaum
The Other is a liminal mirror in which we see reflected nothing other than the faces, distorted with rage, fear, and doubt, of the sentries patrolling the ambiguous and disputed frontiers of the Self. — Michel Foucault.
In terms of key issues maximally impacting committed members of the equality-activist community in the opening decade of the twenty-first century, there can be little doubt that the keyest is the confrontation with hatred of the Other. Be it in the form of antisemitism, racism, xeno-, gyno-, homo-, and/or lesbophobia, Other-directed prejudice and bigotry is a feral cancer whose seething tentacles cement a visceral shadow as much over the future of western societies as over their past. Yet members of the literary-scholarship community find that their field of critical and theoretic focus, one of the principal means of leveraging progressive ideas/attitudes in terms of the body (socio-)politic, often proves a double-edged discourse.
In short, and to be blunt, many past writers/authors were vicious bigots and/or racists. Nor are participants in "fringe" genres such as Weird fiction, themselves marginalized by mainstream literary discourse, innocent of an identical charge. Members of the Internet community, whether knowingly or unknowingly, can access the following on the Eldritch Dark, the premier web-resource devoted to maximalizing engagement with the literary legacy of Clark Ashton Smith, a core member of the seminal 1920s/1930s Weird Tales literary community:
The vermin is a very Jew, and will have his last ounce of brain and marrow.1
I return the Ullman-Knopf communication herewith. Knopf should remove the Borzoi from his imprint, and substitute either the Golden Calf or a jackass with brazen posteriors. I wish Herr Hitler had him, along with Gernsback.2
Antisemitism, arguably the most feral of all Other-phobic discourses, is a pivotal strand in the fluidic œuvre of Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961), a California poet/author now arguably most famous for his association with New England author/poet H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) and Texas writer/author Robert E. Howard (1906-36). Lovecraft's and Howard's own and more obvious Other-phobia has been the epicenter of an unswerving critical dissection for a not inconsiderable time-period post the Civil Rights era/epoch, and I would suggest that Smith's less obvious but arguably, for that very reason, even more pernicious Other-phobia has fallen into the penumbra cast by the brickbats rightly focused around Lovecraft and Howard. The present essay is an attempt, however tentative, inchoate, and embryonic, to corrective this situation and foreground the urgent need for unacceptable components/elements of Smith's literary/epistolary output to be engaged on multiple levels by committed members of the anti-racist community.
Accordingly, I shall interrogate the conte fantastique by which arguably more than any other the feral parameters of Smith's visceral Other-phobia can be mapped and/or charted: "The Black Abbot of Puthuum" (1936). Experienced literary exegetists need engage with no more than the title of this fictive discourse prior to commencing a deconstruction of its probable Other-phobic narrative strategies. We confront not 'simply' a chromatically unmarked "The Abbot of Puthuum," nor a chromatically 'neutral' "The Red/Yellow/Blue Abbot of Puthuum," but "The Black Abbot of Puthuum," and the title immediately and explicitly conjuncts the racial Other of socially constructed Blackness with the textual Other of fictively constructed "Puthuum," a factitious confection of visceral vocables nevertheless harboring feral echoes of "putridity-putrescence-putrefaction."
Who could doubt, prior to embarking around a full engagement with Smith's core narrative structure, that "The Black Abbot" will prove 'Black' by both socially constructed race but also by ideologically constructed nature, reinforcing/buttressing traditional Other-phobic discourses whereby Blackness is insolubly conjuncted with notions around soi disant 'deviance' and 'criminality'? It comes as no surprise, then, for the attentive lectrice/lecteur, post reading-commencement, to confront the following literary tropes within the central core segment of the narrative proper:
The black man grinned capaciously, showing rows of discolored teeth whose incisors were like those of a wild dog. His enormous unctuous jowls were creased by the grin into folds of amazing number and volume; and his eyes, deeply slanted and close together, seemed to wink perpetually in pouches that shook like ebon jellies. His nostrils flared prodigiously; his purple, rubbery lips drooled and quivered, and he licked them with a fat, red, salacious tongue before replying to Cushara's question.3 (Emphases mine.)
We see here an 'optimal' conflation of feral Other-phobic narratives of race whose visceral impaction on the reader is rather increased than lessened by the formalism of Smith's conflicted, eurocentric prose. Indeed, we note that the Abbot becomes not merely the racial Other but the mammalian Other: his dentition is that of a "wild dog," not that of a human being, and the sexual components of the 'discourse of deviance' long woven by white Other-phobes around members of the Black community are signalized in the "fat, red, salacious tongue" with which the Abbot animalistically "licks" his "purple, rubbery lips." Soon post this passage, the Abbot's unbridled Other-sexuality is further emphasized/foregrounded as he becomes not merely the mammalian but the vertebral Other:
Neither he nor Zobal was reassured by the look of lust in the abbot's obscenely twinkling eyes as he peered at Rubalsa. Moreover, they had now noted the excessive and disagreeable length of the dark nails on his huge hands and bare, splayed feet: nails that were curving, three-inch talons, sharp as those of some beast or bird of prey. (Emphases mine.)
His visceral Otherness has become too ferally impactive to be confined within the anatomic/behavioral parameters of the class Mammalia (mammals) and is transferred even further, to those of the class Aves (birds). The Abbot's subsequent attempts to both rape Rubalsa, the "queenly maiden" around whose non-consensual purchase and sex-trafficking the narrative centers, but also to murder and devour her 'protectors' are further cementings of Other-phobic racist discourses of Black promiscuity, violence, and cannibalism.
The multiply-stranded question that is begged by even a cursory interrogation of the soi disant "Black Abbot" is identical, mutatis mutandis, to that raised by French philosophe / critic / cultural commentatrice Simone de Beauvoir (1908-86) in a key mid-twentieth-century text of theoretic and societo-literary engagement: the essay «Faut-il Brûler Sade?» (1951), or "Must We Burn de Sade?". Here I ask «Faut-il Brûler Smith?» (2005), or "Must We Burn Smith?". That is, is our objective of a progressive, egalitarian society in which the optimally-diverse value and contributions of all are of equal worth and standing maximally advanced by a visceral suppression of such feral tropes in the work of such writers/authors as Clark Ashton Smith?
Or must we seek another — and indeed anOther — means of transitioning key societal components to our desired post-racist, post-white-hegemonic end(s)? Attractive though the strategy of suppression must appear to those members of the progressive community who fully recognize the dangers of such hate speech, it is nevertheless incumbent on us to engage with issues around pragmatism and acknowledge the impossibility, at the present stage of societal evolution, of successfully fruitioning such a strategy.
Instead, we must adopt the strategy of confrontation and confutation, theorizing/triangulating Smith within the poly-dimensional temporal, societal, and ideological co-ordinates/parameters of his fluidic, polymorphic fictive and meta-cultural identities/personae and explicating, if by no means excusing, his profoundly regrettable co-optioning of Other-phobic discourses of antisemitism and racism.

Q: Auto delete content in specific folder inside media library I am looking for solution to auto delete images (jpg, gif, png -content in general) inside a specific folder (folderx) INSIDE the uploads/months folders (customization intended for future folderx --older folderx have already been deleted manually). These images inside folderx have no relation to any posts. they can be deleted in x days. or x hours.

*

*Uploads

*

*O7 (month)

*

*folderx (images inside folderx to be deleted)

*O8 (month)

*

*folderx (images inside folderx to be deleted)

etc.etc

A: First of all, I would   n e v e r  automatically delete files, database entries, whathaveyou. Too risky. But, I created this once, that moves files to a 'trash' folder. This will help you get where you want:
/**
 * Autodelete folders in upload dir
 */
add_action('admin_init', function () {

    $time_to_live = 60 * 60 * 8; // 8 hours

    $folders_to_clean = [
        "2021/06",
        "2021/07",
    ];

    // dirs
    $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
    $upload_base = $upload_dir["basedir"];
    // loop through folders to clean
    foreach ($folders_to_clean as $folder) {
        // set specific trash path
        $trash_path = "{$upload_base}/_TRASH/{$folder}";
        // create trash path
        mkdir($trash_path, 0777, true);
        $folder_path = "{$upload_base}/{$folder}";
        // loop through files in dir
        if (is_dir($folder_path) && $handle = opendir($folder_path)) {
            // valid file?
            while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
                $file_path = "{$folder_path}/${file}";
                // older than set time?
                if (is_file($file_path) && filemtime($file_path) > $time_to_live) {
                    // move to trash
                    rename($file_path, "{$trash_path}/$file");
                }
            }
            closedir($handle);
        }
    }
});

If you do want to delete them immediately, just switch the rename function for unlink($file_path). But be warned, this will one day bite you hard! ;-)

Passover: Of Lamb Shanks and Sled Dogs
Animals: Tradition - Philosophy
Ruth Eisenbud
[Ed. Note: Read other articles - Jewish Vegan/Vegetarian Articles.]
To commemorate this bloodshed, during the celebration of the Passover Seder, a lamb shank is used to symbolize the lambs slain for their blood used as a signal to god....The justification for all the lamb blood spilt resides in the self-serving premise of dominion, which grants man the right to harm and slaughter animals for human benefit:
One dog in a team of sled dogs mauled a child. These dogs are pushed beyond the limit of what is healthy and natural for them in order to exalt the humans who seek glory from this exploitation. It is not inconceivable that such a stressed and abused animal, when pushed even further would show aggression....Rather then seek to understand and rectify the violence these dogs are subjected to, a relative of the human victim shot and killed the entire team.
All beings with two, three, four or five senses in fact, all creation know individually pleasure and displeasure, pain, terror and sorrow. ALL are full of fears which come from all directions. And yet there exist people who would cause greater pain to them...Some kill animals for sacrifice, some for their skin, flesh, blood, feathers, teeth or tusks...
He who harms animals has not understood or renounced deeds of sin...
He who understands the nature of sin against animals is called a Sage.
- Jain Acharanga Sutra
Passover is intended to mark an auspicious occasion: the liberation of the Jewish people from Pharaoh. It commemorates both suffering endured and the joy of freedom. Yet as it notes the pain of captivity, it ritualizes the same experience and inflicts it on other living beings. The re-telling of the exodus from Egypt is rife with violence and retribution towards animals and children who have harmed no one. In one of the plagues visited on the Egyptians, God kills the first born son of every family, as well as the first-born of their cattle. The rational for inflicting such harm on children and animals is questionable. In order to insure that God smite the families of the enemy, a lamb is killed, and its blood is marked on the door of those to be spared. It would seem that an omniscient God would not need such a marker the wisdom of the sacrifice of innocent lambs for human benefit is doubtful. To commemorate this bloodshed, during the celebration of the Passover Seder, a lamb shank is used to symbolize the lambs slain for their blood used as a signal to god. The justification for all the lamb blood spilt resides in the self-serving premise of dominion, which grants man the right to harm and slaughter animals for human benefit:
...the moral equating of animals and humans, is an affront to the very essence of Jewish belief, which exalts the human being, alone among God's creations, as, among other things, the possessor of free will, a being capable of choosing to do good or bad. That distinction is introduced in Genesis, where the first man is commanded to "rule over" the animal world. - Rabbi Avi Shafran
It is not clear how the slaying of a lamb, so that the children and livestock of the enemy may be marked for death, contributes to the exaltation of man, as those who commit such violence do not understand the nature of their actions towards harmless children and lambs:
He who harms animals has not understood or renounced deeds of sin...He who understands the nature of sin against animals is called a Sage. - Jain acharanga Sutra
These biblical stories, which allow for the exploitation and violence of animals, are celebrated and retold from generation to generation, thereby insuring that those indoctrinated by dominion will continue to pass on a tradition which does not value the sanctity of ALL living beings. Is it possible to commemorate an auspicious occasion, so infused with violence, or does the violence mar the occasion and taint it with a foreboding and dark aura, where true joy evades the celebration? Historical evidence indicates that once a cycle of violence is set in motion it does not subside, but escalates, both for animals and humans. The insistence that dominion be preserved despite its inherent cruelty insures that this cycle of never ending violence will also be perpetuated. Tales that glorify extraneous violence to animals as sacred, reinforce the sanctity of dominion related violence, and serve to increase abuse and slaughter.
A current incident of revenge, slaughter and cruelty, with parallels to biblical tolerance for violence, was carried out in Saskatchewan, Canada. One dog in a team of sled dogs mauled a child. These dogs are pushed beyond the limit of what is healthy and natural for them in order to exalt the humans who seek glory from this exploitation. It is not inconceivable that such a stressed and abused animal, when pushed even further would show aggression. Rather then seek to understand and rectify the violence these dogs are subjected to, a relative of the human victim shot and killed the entire team. The killing of lambs and livestock in tales of biblical revenge, where gratuitous violence to animals is used to emphasize their mythical nature, has its parallels to the killing of the entire team as punishment and revenge for the actions of one dog, driven to violence by captivity and exploitation. The dogs in this sad tale are victimized twice: they are abused and exploited by their MASTERS for personal glory and if one dog should snap due to the abuse, an entire team must pay the consequences in the name of dominion.
That such violence was considered justifiable by law enforcement serves to highlight the inconsistent and cruel message of dominion: "...the moral equating of animals and humans, is an affront to the very essence of Jewish belief, which exalts the human being, alone among God's creations..." Rabbi Avi Shafran. Despite such exaltation by dominion, one has to wonder whether in fact man does have the capability to discern right from wrong. Furthermore, it is questionable whether the very concept of dominion is able to discern right from wrong, thereby negating the possibility of free will, as the ability to decipher right from wrong is based on a faulty premise.
Can there be joy in a celebration marked by so much gratuitous violence to innocent beings, or does it set in motion a cycle of unending violence?
One who harms the creatures
One who causes the creatures to be harmed
One who allows the creatures to be harmed
Brings the animosity of the world towards one's self."
- Jain sutra
These words grasp the insight that violence begets violence for those who indulge in harm to gentle, defenseless creatures. Celebrations which include the suffering of animals seldom lead to joy.

It's Official: Austin Is Home of New Army Futures Command

(U.S. Army photo/Esmeralda Cervantes)
After months of tedious searching, top U.S. Army leaders on Friday announced that Austin, Texas, will be the location of its new Futures Command, which will lead the service's ambitious modernization effort.
Army Secretary Mark Esper, surrounded by other key leaders, said that Army Futures Command will "establish unity of command and unity of effort by consolidating the Army's entire modernization process under one roof. It will turn ideas into action through experimenting, prototyping, testing."
Esper told defense reporters at the Pentagon Friday that the Army chose Austin for a variety of reasons.
"Not only did it possess the talent, entrepreneurial spirit and access to key partners we are seeking, but also because it offers the quality of life our people desire and the cost of living they can afford," he said.
The announcement comes after the Army scoured the country searching for major cities with the right combination of an innovative industrial presence and academia willing to work with the service in creating its force of the future.
The effort began three months ago with a list of 30 cities, which was quickly narrowed down to 15. Austin was selected from a short list of five, beating out Boston, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Army announced its plan to build a future force in October. It named six modernization priorities: long-range precision fires, next-generation combat vehicle, future vertical lift, a mobile network, air and missile defense, and soldier lethality. For each priority, special cross-functional teams of experts have been assembled to pursue change for the service.
If all goes as planned, the Army's new priorities will ultimately lead to the replacement of all of its "Big Five" combat platforms from the Cold War with modern platforms and equipment. These systems include the M1 Abrams tank, Bradley fighting vehicle, Black Hawk helicopter, Apache attack helicopter and Patriot air defense system.

From Mosul to Baghdad, a song of Iraqi solidarity and resistance
The viral music video has scored hundreds of thousands of hits despite frequent internet blackouts in Iraq © AFP / Zaid AL-OBEIDI
Mosul, Iraq, Nov 17 – While Baghdad anti-regime protesters have clashed with riot police, their supporters in Mosul are using art to fight for change, with a new take on the resistance anthem "Bella Ciao".
In a viral music video clip, the World War II-era Italian anti-fascist song has been tweaked to "Blaya Chara" — meaning "no way out" in Iraqi dialect.
It captures the fatalistic sentiment many young Iraqis hold towards their violence-torn homeland.
"I don't have heating, not a cent to spend. Why would I even study if there's no way out?" sings one gaunt performer, huddled under a blanket in a gutted building.
Others in the video, which has scored hundreds of thousands of hits despite frequent internet blackouts, hold up signs that read "Justice for our martyrs" and "I want my rights."

Like activists elsewhere, they borrow from popular culture, donning the red jumpsuits and Dali masks of the Spanish Netflix hit series La Casa de Papel (Money Heist), which has revived the Italian classic.
Much of Iraq, especially Baghdad and the Shiite-majority south, has been gripped by a wave of street protests since October 1, decrying a lack of jobs, poor public services and endemic corruption.
But in Mosul, a mostly-Sunni city recaptured from the Islamic State jihadist group two years ago, social and political pressures have kept demonstrators from coming out in large numbers.
"The song is an artistic message of solidarity from Mosul to the protesters to say: our hearts are with you," said 25-year-old Abdulrahman al-Rubaye, the clip's director.
– Creative resistance –
The video opens with a despondent mechanic played by Mohammed Bakri, 26, who heads the team of 14 performers that produced the song.
"We bought costumes, painted our own masks and filmed in the streets or in our own homes," said the father-of-two who founded the performance troupe in 2016.

He has dreamed of taking to the streets to demonstrate like his compatriots in Baghdad and the south, but told AFP that "our situation in Mosul is exceptional and we can't protest".
Sunni communities in the country's north and west have indeed stayed clear of the protest movement, despite the desperate state of public services there after years of war and neglect.
IS swept through their hometowns in 2014 and the three-year battle to oust the jihadists left neighbourhoods and public infrastructure in ruins.
But residents say any street protests would be met with accusations that they are sympathetic to IS, which could lead to a counter-terrorism charge punishable by death.
Or, they fear, they could be painted as fans of Saddam Hussein, the brutal ex-dictator deposed in the US-led invasion of 2003 which paved the way for the current political system.
Authorities in Baghdad have already cast the protests as a nefarious conspiracy seeking to bring "chaos" to Iraq.
Without the street as an option, Bakri turned to the screen.
"With art, we can support the movement our own way. I think that this way, we can speak in the name of all Iraqis," he told AFP.
The team was able to produce the video in a mere 12 hours and upload it just before authorities cut off the internet.
– 'Not afraid anymore' –
For Jihan Mazouri, a 23-year-old student and actress, her role in the film was "the least she could do" to back peaceful protesters further south.
Her character, dressed in a black robe and veil covering half her face, desperately pulls handfuls of tissues as she sings about "a future with no way out".
"People have died or gotten hurt in these peaceful protests, so whatever we do is incomparable to their huge national sacrifices," she said.
After the success of the first video, Mazouri and the rest of the team decided to see the beating heart of Baghdad's protests with their own eyes.

They travelled to the protest epicentre, the capital's Tahrir (Liberation) Square, where they performed a classic Arabic ballad by Lebanese diva Fayrouz.
But, in another creative twist, their version is an ode to the now-famous tuk-tuks, three-wheeled rickshaws that have ferried wounded protesters to field clinics or delivered food and water to those occupying Tahrir.
Well over 300 people have lost their lives to bullets and often lethal tear gas canisters, and activists say they are being threatened, kidnapped and assaulted.
In Mosul, Rubaye, the director, said Iraqis are becoming more brave.
"People have confidence in themselves and we are not silent about what happens to us," he said.
"We are not afraid anymore."

Another champion from Western Australia, Peter Robert Bosustow spent only three seasons at Carlton from 1981 to 1983 - but his impact during his all too brief career blazed his name into the history of the Navy Blues. The son of Bob Bosustow, who had played 20 games for Carlton in seasons 1955-56, "Buzz" Bosustow was a brilliant, mercurial match-winner – a freakish high mark, a magical ball-handler, and a deadly sharpshooter at goal. Although prone to inconsistency, he was an outstanding big match performer whose cat-like reflexes and uncanny anticipation thrilled friend and foe alike.
During his 65 games in Carlton's guernsey number 4, Bosustow kicked 146 goals at an average of better than two per game, and suffered defeat only 15 times. He was instrumental in Carlton's glorious 1981 and '82 Premiership double, and led the Blues' goal-kicking in 1981 with 59 goals. Few players in the history of VFL/AFL football have had a more spectacular debut year than "The Buzz," who also won Mark of the Year, Goal of the Year as well as a Premiership medal in his first season in Victoria.
Earlier, Bosustow had played throughout his junior football career with the Victoria Park Raiders, before following in his father's footsteps and joining the Perth Demons in 1975. It was a very fortuitous time for the 17 year-old, because the Demons were on the verge of a golden era. Bosustow took a year or so to establish himself under legendary coach Ken Armstrong, and was a reserve in the club's 1977 WAFL Grand Final victory over East Fremantle. But the following year, he kicked seven of Perth's 12 goals when the Demons lost the Grand Final to East Perth by two points, and in the opinion of more than one good judge, was desperately unlucky not to be awarded the Simpson Medal as best on ground.
By 1980, "Buzza" was one of the stars of the WAFL. Already a Premiership player, a two-time leading goal-kicker for the Demons, and a WA state representative on four occasions, he was pursued hard by a number of VFL clubs, although the Blues had the inside running for his signature because of his father's previous affiliation. After flying both Bob and Peter to their round 9, 1980 Sunday game against Essendon in Sydney, the Blues gained their prized signature at last, under the Father-Son rule then in place. "I was that excited that I was going to wear the Navy Blue jumper," Bosustow said later. "It wasn't a fluke that I chose Carlton. I had two players that I really wanted to play football with – one was Wayne Johnston, and the other was Mark Maclure". Throughout the next two seasons in particular, this trio was to form one of the greatest half-forward lines in Carlton's history.
Almost from the moment he arrived at Princes Park, Bosustow gate-crashed a Carlton squad that just two years previously had won the VFL flag, then blown the opportunity to make it two in a row in 1980. Under a new coach in David Parkin the club was hell-bent on redemption, and had assembled a team list as classy as any other in the club's history. Parkin's coaching style demanded discipline in all aspects of the game, but he quickly recognised that in "The Buzz" he had a rare talent – a player who flourished without restraint, who relished a personal challenge, and was capable of wresting the initiative from any rival with just a quarter or two of football magic. Under Parkin, Bosustow's impact on his new team and the competition was dramatic, and immediate.
In only his second game - during the second quarter of Carlton's Round 2, 1981 match against Hawthorn at Princes Park, the Blues were kicking to the scoreboard end when "Buzz" marked out on the wing, chip-passed to Wayne Johnston and sprinted hard to create the loose man. His opponent – Hawthorn hard man Robert Dipierdomenico - ran to block him, but Bosustow dipped his shoulder and crashed through the beefy Hawk right in front of the old press box. A resounding crack was heard (to the roar of an adoring throng) and "Dipper's" season was prematurely ended by a broken sternum.
Seven weeks later, shortly after he was famously described as a "good, ordinary player" by the legendary Jack Dyer, Bosustow soared for some spectacular marks and kicked eight goals to spearhead the Blues to a 99-point demolition of South Melbourne at Princes Park. By August, Carlton were on top of the ladder and about to celebrate Bruce Doull's 250th game for the club, when Geelong arrived at Princes Park for the match of the day. However, the abiding memory thereafter for the huge crowd on that afternoon was Bosustow's breathtaking Mark of the Year in the forward pocket at the Heatley Stand end. Launching himself into the stratosphere above Geelong ruckman John Mossop (and another noted aerialist in Carlton's David McKay) "Buzz" took an absolute screamer on his chest. It took him an eternity to line up for the easy goal that followed, such was the excitement among the crowd.
That September, the same two sides met again in the second Semi Final at Waverley Park, and the Bosustow Show produced more excitement when he smothered the ball off the boot of Cat Ian Nankervis, and snapped a brilliant angled goal over his shoulder in a solo effort later judged Goal of the Year. Completing a fairytale first season, Carlton went on to steamroll Collingwood in the last quarter of the 1981 Grand Final, allowing "Buzz" to finish the year as a Premiership player, Carlton's leading goal-kicker, and a bona fide star of the VFL.
Bosustow began 1982 in similar fashion, booting six goals against Hawthorn in round 4, and another half-dozen against the Sydney Swans in a record-breaking win by 102 points at Princes Park in round 9. Carlton finished the home and away season third on the ladder behind Richmond and Hawthorn, before clawing their way through to another Grand Final against the Tigers. Having played one less final and having comfortably defeated the Blues in the second Semi Final, Richmond started the decider as warm favourites, but Carlton dug deeper when it counted most and emerged victorious by 18 points in front of 107,000 at the MCG. Two flags in two years was a dream come true for Bosustow, whose tally of 47 goals for the season was only beaten by another West Australian, Ross Ditchburn, who booted 61 majors to top the Blues' list.
Injury delayed the start of Bosustow's 1983 season until round 3, but his 13 big marks and six goals in a 10-point win over Collingwood was worth the wait, and prompted David Parkin to remark, "In the end, he was the difference between the two sides. He can really play footy when he makes up his mind that he wants to." Another haul of six majors against Geelong in round 6 added some momentum to the Blues, but a spate of late-season injuries and a couple of incidents during the round 21 match against North Melbourne at Princes Park in late August ultimately derailed Carlton's title defence.
During a torrid first quarter, "Buzz" was reported for striking North Melbourne opponents in two separate incidents, and subsequently rubbed out for four weeks. This meant that he could only play again that year if Carlton made the Grand Final – which they were not able to do. In what turned out to be a prophetic statement, a clearly upset Bosustow stated after his tribunal appearance; "I am absolutely shattered. When the sentence was delivered, I thought my career in Melbourne was all over." Unfortunately for Bosustow and Carlton's many thousands of disappointed supporters, it was.
In 1984, "Buzza" returned to WA and the Perth football Club, as his father had been diagnosed with leukemia and he had just opened a series of sporting stores in Perth. Bosustow would once again the Demon's top goal-kicker, and represented his home state in matches against Victoria and South Australia. He was almost about to be cleared back to Carlton but Perth and Carlton couldn't agree upon the clearance fee and it fell through and he stayed the season with Perth FC. It was rumoured that Perth wanted $25,000 but Carlton would only agree upon $20,000, Bosustow would lament later on that only if he knew the sticking point was $5,000 he would have paid the difference himself to facilitate the clearance. The frustration felt by Buzz not being able to head back to his beloved Blues resulted in him putting his fist through a plate glass shower door that resulted him missing the remainder of the 1984 season.
The lure of VFL football remained strong however, and at the end of the 1985 season he arrived back at Princes Park for another crack at the big time and was preparing for the 1986 pre-season training program. He had almost completed pre-season training when he trod on a sprinkler head, and damaged an ankle so badly that he wasn't able to run again until late in the year. By then his time had passed, and another future champion in 'Sticks' Kernahan had claimed the No. 4 guernsey.
As well as his exploits at Carlton, Bosustow played 141 senior games for Perth from 1975 to 1980, 1984 to 1985, and 1987. In all, he kicked 357 goals and was the Demons' leading goal-kicker three times, with a season's high of 75 in 1980. He represented Western Australia eight times, booting 17 goals, and was named on the half-forward flank in Perth's Team of the Century (1899 – 1999).
Peter Bosustow's uncle Tom Allison and cousin Brett Allison both played senior football with Nth Melbourne, Brett also played a season with the Sydney Swans.
During an interview some years afterward, Bosustow revealed that he had had a strong premonition that he would take his Mark of the Year in that match against Geelong, and beforehand, had promised Mark Maclure a ride in his new car.
While playing at Carlton, Bosustow boarded with the club's doorman, roustabout and legendary character Leo Brooks, who was the grandfather of infamous underworld identities Mark and Jason Moran. Among of a number of other country and interstate recruits looked after by the Brooks family at their home in Drummond St., Carlton was future club captain (and AFL Commission President) Mike Fitzpatrick.
Bosustow played eight inter-state matches for WA, the first in 1978, and the last ten seasons later, when WA suffered a shock loss to NSW during the 1988 AFL Bicentenary Carnival in Adelaide. NSW, coached by Tom Hafey and captained by Terry Daniher, knocked over their more fancied rivals by two points. Besides Bosustow, four other players in that WA team; Richard Dennis, Earl Spalding, John Worsfold and Dean Laidley, would later join Carlton as either players or coaches.
Peter's son, Brent Bosustow, played 15 games for South Fremantle in the WAFL between 2003 and 2006, and one game for Swan Districts in 2007. He was named the South Fremantle Colts' Best and Fairest player in their 2003 Premiership season, but turned down a position on Carlton's Rookie list to pursue a career in business.
In 2014, amid celebrations of Carlton's 150th year of competition, the club produced a list of the Blues' 150 greatest players. A furore erupted when Peter Bosustow was left out - because his career did not fulfil the criteria of 50 games played over five seasons. It had taken him only three seasons to reach 65 games.

After playing 23 innings in the past two days, you could say the Jays were counting on Ricky Romero to put in a long outing today (Sunday June 21). Cito used eight pitchers on Thursday, seven on Friday and had to use starter Scott Richmond in relief Saturday. Yet after Romero tossed seven innings on 118 pitches for Sunday, Cito used four relievers to close out the last two innings. In the eighth, he pulled Jeremy Accardo after one batter and six pitches; Brandon League got the next two outs on four pitches to end the frame. Rather than send League back out for the ninth, Cito chose to send in Jesse Carlson (who has now pitched four of the last six days) while holding a seven-run lead. Carlson wasn't able to get out of the inning and Jason Frasor had to come in to get the final out.
It's easy to scratch one's head at Cito's seemingly needless burning of his relievers; the team at least has an off-day tomorrow, but with so many injuries on the pitching staff, you'd think the team would be paying extra attention to taking good care of the arms. The sensible thing to do would have been to give the two innings to a single pitcher.
I can understand Cito may have been reluctant to use any one guy for several batters given that pretty much everyone had to pitch both Thursday and Friday. This would have been much more avoidable had Cito been more careful about his pitching management on those days. More than once, he missed obvious double-switch opportunities and had to pinch-hit for pitchers while they presumably still had another inning in the tank. There has been much said about Cito's opposition to pitchers batting in interleague; that doesn't excuse his ignorance of its strategical implications.

With a wide range of drive-axle ratios for medium-duty trucks available, fleet managers must weigh/factor carefully which one they choose for their fleet. Their decision will affect a truck's top-end speed, fuel economy and load pulling ability.
Speed – for each truck, calculate the maximum road speed and then use those calculations to ensure the torque and horsepower curves are at the right spot so the truck operates in optimal operating condition.
Gradeability – the ability to maintain a specific speed on a particular percentage grade, or incline. Think about where the truck is operating – mountains, plains, etc.
Load – is the truck's load constant or changing? If it's diminishing, allow for a slightly faster gear in the truck, if it's constant, (operating a tow-truck with a crane and tools), then it's always near the maximum and you should back off on maximum road speed availability.
Towing – Determine trailer and load weight and the percentage of time the truck will be towing. They advise if you're pulling a trailer 20% of the time, that's enough to perhaps go a bit lower with the gear in order for the truck to handle the load better.
Terrain – To calculate for off-road use, look at the percentage of time the truck will be operating or towing on crushed rock, hard clay, dirt, etc. At what speeds will the truck be traveling on these different terrains in terms of RPMs and what does that look like for the drive-axle ratio?
Aerodynamics – Any time the truck is over 55 mph, the wind drag is huge and you need to think about either dropping deeper in terms of axle ratio or offsetting the wind drag with aerodynamic enhancements.
Tires – the circumference of the tires along with the revolutions per mile affects axle ratio.
Transmission – with an automatic transmission, the truck has the gains of a torque converter and you can 'get away' with a bit lower axle ratio.
Resale value – they warn that if you've gone too far on either end of the drive-axle spectrum, this could drop the resale value of your truck by $50 to $500.
GVWR – There are fewer choices with the lower GVWR trucks.
Getting the drive-axle ratio spec right is important because it directly affects truck performance, fuel efficiency and resale value.

Sònico (Sónech in dialetto camuno) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della Val Camonica, provincia di Brescia, in Lombardia.

Geografia fisica

Territorio
L'abitato di Sonico sorge poco più a sud di quello di Edolo. Il suo territorio comunale si estende dall'ultima parte della media Val Camonica superiore all'iniziale alta Val Camonica, che è caratterizzata dalla linea Insubrica.

Storia

Il 15 maggio 1365 il vescovo di Brescia Enrico da Sessa investe iure feudi dei diritti di decima nei territori di Breno, Vione, Vezza, Sonico, Malonno, Berzo Demo, Astrio, Ossimo e Losine Giovanni e Gerardo del fu Pasino Federici di Mù.

Alla pace di Breno del 31 dicembre 1397 i rappresentanti della comunità di Sonico, Tonino Nardi e il notaio Antoniolo Tommasino, si schierarono sulla sponda ghibellina.

Il 17 settembre 1423 il vescovo di Brescia Francesco Marerio investe iure feudi dei diritti di decima nei territori di Monno, Cevo, Andrista, Grumello, Saviore, Cemmo, Ono, Sonico, Astrio, Malegno, Cortenedolo, Vione, Incudine e Berzo Demo a Bertolino della Torre di Cemmo .

Nota del parroco di Sonico del 1614:

Nel 1925 iniziano i lavori per costruire la Centrale Idroelettrica.

Antichi Originari
Gli Antichi Originari erano, al tempo delle vicinie, i capifuoco delle famiglie native del paese: essi erano gli unici che avevano il potere di deliberare nei consigli, mentre i nobili, gli ecclesiastici e gli stranieri (anche se residenti da diverse generazioni nel paese) ne erano esclusi. I cognomi degli Originari di Sonico, riportati nei registri della vicinia, erano:
 Accampo-Accampi
 Adamini
 Borgnacco-Borgnac
 Caserotti-Casarotti
 Fanetti
 Funassi-Funazzi
 Gelmi
 Masneri
 Perlotti
 Semperboni
 Tisi

Feudatari locali
Famiglie che hanno ottenuto l'infeudazione vescovile dell'abitato:

Simboli

Lo stemma adottato dal Comune riprende, con piccole variazioni, il blasone dei nobili ghibellini Federici della Valcamonica.

Il gonfalone è un drappo di azzurro.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Architetture religiose

Le chiese di Sonico sono:
 Parrocchiale di San Lorenzo, del XV secolo. Nel 1580 San Carlo Borromeo ne decreta l'ampliamento (terminato nel 1603). All'interno una tomba dei Federici.
 Chiesa di Sant'Andrea, sul dosso occidentale di Sonico. In primo tempo ospizo, poi, fino al XV secolo, parrocchiale.
 Santuario della Madonna della Pradella, con colonne in pietra di Sarnico e portale in granito. Sul campanile vi è la più antica campana della Valle Camonica, datata 1421.
 Chiesetta di San Gottardo, eretta nel XV secolo e affidata alle cure dei disciplini. Il suo culto preveniva la gotta (forse legato allo scotöm del paese).

Architetture civili
 Ponte romano, ad arco a tutto sesto ribassato, venuto alla luce con l'alluvione del 1960.

Patrimoni dell'umanità UNESCO
 Parco archeologico comunale di Sonico

Società

Evoluzione demografica

Tradizioni e folclore
Gli scütüm sono nei dialetti camuni dei soprannomi o nomiglioli, a volte personali, altre indicanti tratti caratteristici di una comunità. Quello che contraddistingue gli abitanti di Sonico è Gós (gozzo).

Vi era un tempo una singolare usanza: stendere sul sagrato della chiesa di sant'Andrea, all'inizio della messa, ampie lenzuola. Secondo L. Dionisi questo segno doveva servire da richiamo dell'inizio del rito per la gente che era lontana. Questa particolare tradizione era praticata anche a Ceto.

Infrastrutture e trasporti

Strade
Ad occidente dell'abitato di Sonico scorre la Strada statale 42 del Tonale e della Mendola, che raggiunge Edolo dove si congiunge alla Strada statale 39 del Passo di Aprica.

Ferrovie
La stazione di Sonico si trova nel fondovalle del paese, nei pressi della Strada statale 42 del Tonale e della Mendola. Fa parte della linea ferroviaria Brescia-Iseo-Edolo.

Amministrazione

Unione di comuni
Sonico fa parte dell'Unione Alpi Orobie Bresciane, assieme ai comuni di Edolo, Paisco Loveno, Corteno Golgi, e Malonno.
L'unione di comuni, ha sede a Edolo.

Sport
 Nel 2011 il comune di Sonico ha ospitato la terza e ultima gara della Coppa Europa di Bike trial, prima esperienza di questo spettacolare sport ciclistico in alta ValleCamonica;
 Nel 2012 il comune di Sonico ha ospitato la terza tappa del Campionato Mondiale di Bike trial, valutata la migliore gara biketrial mai disputata finora.

---

We are truly thankful to our community for making our first annual [Bazel Conference](https://sites.google.com/corp/bazel.build/conference2017) a success! Check out all the videos of all the talks from [**BazelCon 2017 on YouTube**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxNYxgaZ8RseY0KmkXQSt0StE71E7yizG).

Your feedback reflected high level of satisfaction, and there was something of interest for everyone:

* Bazel usage and migration stories from TensorFlow, Kubernetes, SpaceX, Pinterest, Wix, Stripe, DataBricks, and Dropbox.
* Talks about upcoming features and tools such as [remote execution & caching](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm), [buildozer](https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/tree/master/buildozer), robolectric tests, [PodToBUILD](https://github.com/pinterest/PodToBUILD), [bazeltfc](https://github.com/Asana/bazeltsc), [rules_typescript](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_typescript) presented by Uber, Two Sigma, Google, Pinterest, and Asana.
* Office hours where you got your Bazel questions answered, met engineers, and debugged on the fly. One attendee used their session to configure remote execution with [buildfarm](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm)!

BazelCon2017 by the Numbers:

* 200+ attendees
* 60 organizations
* 30 speakers
* 12 informative talks
* 14 hours of hands-on debugging and Q&A during Office Hours

What we heard from you:

* Bazel Query is great!
* Python is used more widely than we realized, and needs better Bazel support.
* Reproducible builds are important especially when you're flying rockets, building autonomous vehicles, delivering media, and calculating financial transactions, leading to wider Bazel adoption by these communities.
* Documentation is often hard to find, and is either too basic or too advanced.
* Bazel's parallelism is impressive: much faster than Maven.
* IDE integration is important, particularly with Visual Studio, CLion, XCode.
* Build Event Protocol enables many options for internal visualization of events.
* Aspects are a powerful tool.

What we can do next:

* Work on better documentation and training, particularly for intermediate-level topics.
* Prioritize IDE integration.
* Engage the community in building better Python support in Bazel.
* Implement improved support for third-party dependencies.
* Continue work on cross-platform improvements.
* Engage the community in wider adoption and contribution to Bazel.

What you can do next:

* Contribute to Bazel, particularly to the new community driven [buildfarm](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm) effort.
* Kick off local meet-ups (we will reach out to volunteers who responded to this in our survey).
* Get more info on Bazel at [bazel.build](https://bazel.build/).
* Join the discussion on bazel-discuss@googlegroups.com.

We look forward to working with you and growing our Bazel user community in 2018!

I don't know about the weather where you are but here in the southern UK it has been so volatile. It is difficult to plan any sort of photographic endeavours!
We have had everything from super cold temperatures to a ton of rain with storm gale force winds. Still, that hasn't stopped me from working. This year is going from strength to strength, it's amazing what a bit of effort can bring in.
One particular job a couple of weeks ago was an all day affair with 3 red, white and blue minis hurtling around Bournemouth. This was part of a promotional video for the local council. Having a councillor with us all day made permissions and grants a cinch for the flying of drones.
I was asked to provide the aerial footage of this superb day which had the infamous Paul Swift driving one of the minis. Paul (Paul Swift Stunts on Facebook) has appeared in many films and TV shows including a regular on Top Gear.
The video is to promote the fantastic Wheels Festival in Bournemouth this June. Worth catching if you are a petrol head, speed freak or adrenaline junkie and happen to be in the south of the UK in June.

This is a new and free firmware update 2.5 for the "still-superb" Panasonic GH4 camera. It brings some new, possibly gimmicky, features to play with. This camera still amazes me with the amount it can do and two years on, it is still a strong seller.
Regardless of the impending GH5 rumours, people are still buying this excellent camera. Panasonic are still kindly giving away cool firmware upgrades. This latest offering gives two very cool features that could come in very handy for those wanting perfect images easily and "on the fly"
Canon announced the latest in their line up of flagship cameras last month which is the 1Dx Mark II. This is a stunning camera offering a lot of bang for your buck. I am really excited to see some of the real world results from this beast.
Canon have kept the megapixels to a reasonable 20.2. However, they have increased the performance in low light by using gapless micro lenses. Could be a great upgrade for wedding photographers.
The 1Dx Mark II can also shoot 4K at 60fps and 1080p at 12pfps. This is fantastic and something I know a lot of videographers have been asking for. However, there are a number of features missing which could put a few people off.
It is worth remembering that this is a stills camera first and foremost and as that, it is stunning.
Something deep inside me can't help but feel that the bulk of this camera has seen its day. Today we have incredibly high quality stills and 4K video coming from much smaller, mirrorless cameras such as the Sony A7s II and Sony A7r II. Is it time Canon followed suit and started producing smaller cameras for their flagship models?
I know that as I get older, carrying around two huge DSLR's with large Canon L lenses is taking its toll on my back after a full day.
I am waiting this year to see if Canon can blow me away with the EOS 5D Mark IV (if it ever happens). If they don't, I may well be switching to the Sony mirrorless cameras as well as looking out for the Panasonic GH5.
Where For Art Thou Go Pro?
Go Pro have now missed their usual upgrade late last year for the Go Pro HD Hero range. I fear for the future of Go Pro and their amazing range of products. For me, the Go Pro Hero 4 Session was a flop and the halving of its price soon after release suggests that Go Pro think the same perhaps?
I had been really looking forward to seeing the new HD Hero 5. So much so, I sold three of my old Go Pro's in anticipation only to be disappointed when nothing materialized.
The missing Hero 5 along with the delay of their drone division and the Karma drone leave me wondering what is happening. Go Pro share prices have also reflected my concerns as they continue to plummet.
Only a really, really cool Karma drone and HD Hero 5 with everything we dreamed of (8K video, 4K at 120fps, 1080p at 240fps, great low light performance, improved stills quality, no more distorted footage etc) can bring them back I guess. Good luck with that!
Now this was an announcement that many people had been waiting for although I have to say it looks pretty bland (and Apple-like) but are its looks deceiving?
I am getting more and more into aerial video and photography as time goes on. The sheer number of companies now producing drones is staggering. This is already a multi-billion pound industry and is only going to get bigger.
I love most forms of photography and lately I have been doing a lot of real estate photography for large houses with a lot of land and stunning surroundings. Nothing can beat aerial photographs of such places. They are sure to help when selling or promoting properties like this. I can think of no better way to spend my working day than flying my cameras and getting paid for it.
DJI are the new Go Pro in my eyes and are taking the world by storm with a number of products. The Phantom 4 is one of those products. It has additional cameras that assist with object avoidance. The Phantom 4 will fly at incredible speeds and capture stunning 4K footage on the fly (as it were).
However, is the DJI Phantom 4 enough for Phantom 3 professional owners to upgrade? Is it enough for DJI Inspire 1 pilots like myself to consider buying one? What does it bring to the table (or skies)?
Free Nik Software from Google worth $499!
Yep, for whatever reason, google have decided to make this amazing software free for all photographers. So, go and grab a copy before they change their mind. If you bought this software in 2016, they are offering a full refund too!
Sadly that is all I have time for right now. There is so much going on in the world of photography and video this year I am really looking forward to what it brings. More so than last year.
My love affair with DJI (and the Inspire 1/X5 camera set up) is blossoming. Even more so after purchasing the amazing DJI Ronin 3 axis gimbal. I used this incredible piece of kit on an all day job last week and it performed flawlessly when shooting video. It even comes with a controller similar to that of my drone!
I will be reviewing this along with the Inspire 1/X5 camera soon I hope so until then, happy shooting, enjoy the impending good weather (I hope) and see you next time!


You wouldn't know it now, but not too long ago her depression and anxiety kept her alienated and alone. A few years ago, a head injury left her susceptible to migraines.

What Tarot Card Represents Pisces
Tarot is the ancient art of divination that has become immensely popular. Since the mid-15th century, various parts of Europe have used tarot cards. These games have been known as tarocchini in Italy and French tarot, and Konigrufen in Austria. Many of these games can still be played today. But what is the significance of Tarot? What are its advantages? Let's take a look at some of the most important facts about Tarot.
The tarot cards were first used by people in ancient Egypt and India, but their use in Europe dates back several centuries. The Venetian tarot is the basis of the modern tarot deck. This deck has 78 cards, divided into the Major and Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana includes the Emperor, Empress, Magician, Hierophant, Hermit, Temperance, and the Wheel of Fortune. The Minor Arcana includes the King, Knight, Cups, Rods, and Swords.
Modern tarot decks contain 78 cards, known as Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana includes the 22 trump card. These cards depict major events and traits in life, including love and loss, and are often interpreted as the influence of outside forces on one's life. The Minor Arcana includes the four suits and ten numbers cards. Tarot cards have been interpreted for hundreds of years, and many people today enjoy readings.
Since Tarot has such a long history of human practice, it has inspired serious scholarship in many fields. The Tarot has been a part of history, social sciences, and the arts for centuries. Without proper coverage, another Tarot guide would have to be written. However, it is important to note that Tarot is a powerful tool for personal and professional development. Tarot has been used by thousands of students in their lives and classes to help them discover more about themselves and create their lives.
The modern Tarot cards are used for divination, but their original purpose was to be used in parlor games. They were first used in Italy in the late fifteenth century and later were adapted for use across Europe. In southern France, they became known as tarot. When Europeans became more interested in the supernatural and magic, the Tarot card game was a natural fit. So what are the benefits of Tarot? To begin, let us look at how the history of the Tarot card game came to be.
Many believe in the power and ability of Tarot to predict the future. Tarot isn't a tool for making predictions. It is a tool to access your intuitive mind. Tarot readings can help you manifest your dreams and desires. Tarot cards can be a powerful tool to manifest your ideal future. And because they are based on imagery, they are the most powerful way to tap into the wisdom of your subconscious mind.
While Tarot is an excellent tool for supporting mental health, it isn't a substitute for therapy. People must be willing to suspend disbelief in order to benefit from the information in the cards. Tarot may not be suitable for diagnosing mental illness. Consult a trained professional before using it. Tarot may be a better tool to treat depression.
The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits. Each suit focuses on different aspects of the human experience. The Four suits, which are Wands, Cups and Swords are a good place for you to start. Each suit comes with four personality cards. Each card represents a different attitude and is categorized according to its symbol. To be effective with the Major Arcana cards, you need to look at them more closely and focus on their meaning. You can then make the most of your Tarot readings.

Q: How to pass touch event to another object? I referenced the apps called "Comic Strip" and "Balloon Stickies Free"
When i add a speech balloon and touch s.b or s.b's tail, it works. But when i touch tail's around or between s.b and s.b's tail, it doesn't work. And Photo gets touch and works below the s.b.
So i tried to use hitTest:withEvent.
It works when i touch rectangle or tailRect first time. But when i touch other place in the object, and i touch rectangle or tailRect again, it doesn't work.
So how to modify this code ? i don't know .. help me please
- (id)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    UIView *hitView = [super hitTest:point withEvent:event];

    if(CGRectContainsPoint(rectangle, currentPt)==YES || CGRectContainsPoint(tailRect, currentPt)==YES)
        return hitView;
    else
        return nil;
}

A: Try overriding  - (BOOL)pointInside:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event instead.
Or take a look at Ole Begemann's OBShapedButton. Code can easily be modified
to work with UIView instead of UIButton.

A: See this post horizontal scrolling. Using this code you can get all touch events in a single UIWindow class. You have to write some code to pass control appropriately.


Action Manufacturing to improve your experience.
US based Action Manufacturing, a specialist manufacturer of off-road wheelchairs, has switched from manual blast cleaning to Wheelabrator automated shot blast equipment to increase production and meet rising demand for its Action TrackChair – for people who won't let a disability hold them back.
The Action TrackChair is the result of managing director Tim Swenson's dream to produce the ultimate off-road wheelchair, allowing users to navigate mountain roads, campgrounds, woods, beaches, hiking trails, frozen lakes, shallow streams, muddy and snowy terrain and much more, giving disabled people access to places that are inaccessible for regular wheelchairs.
Action Manufacturing produced its first specialist chair, which has tracks instead of wheels, seven years ago, and continues to manufacture the entire chair at its base in Marshall, Minnesota. The company has now made over two thousand Action TrackChairs and has recently invested in a new manufacturing facility, allowing it to respond to increased demand.
As part of this investment, the company moved from manual airblasting of steel frames to wheelblast cleaning.
The upgrade enables them to wheelblast fifteen chairs in the time it used to take to manually blast three – an increase in productivity of 400%.
The previous manual blasting of raw steel was not only a slow and labour intensive task, it was also messy and had to be done away from the production line. Replacing this manual process with a 72-inch table blast machine from Wheelabrator has turned blasting into a clean operation that can take place within the workshop.
All the separate components for a whole chair can be loaded onto the turntable in the machine and cleaned at once.
Machine doors are closed when the blasting takes place so there is no abrasive, dust or other pollutants outside of the machine. This means the machine can sit right next to the paint shop, which saves time and prevents contamination of the surface between blasting and painting.
Wheelabrator rotary table shot blast machines have become a popular solution to help reduce production times as the wheel placement allows for multiple impacts on the part, ensuring that any part - short, tall, wide, or narrow - is blasted efficiently, without the need to reposition.
Beyond reducing processing time, Action Manufacturing was also keen to keep machine downtime to a minimum.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna counsels Arjuna that it is far better to do your own work imperfectly than it is to do someone else's work perfectly. But what, exactly, is your work?
Join Susannah for a 3-day workshop to find what truly lights you up, what your innate individual gifts are, and how you can use that information to find work that is meaningful and fulfilling. It is not mandatory, but very much suggested that you read the book "The Great Work of Your Life" by Stephen Cope by the end of the series.
Don't worry, you don't have to quit your job, but these workshops will help you to define more clearly what you want out of everyday life so that you can show up at every moment with enthusiasm.

Q: Can't connect to RDS aurora from Lambda (timeout) This question has been asked several times, and I've been reading the answer for the past hours, so I'm going to summarise everything here.
To get the connection between RDS and lambda, the normal steps are:

*

*Attach the lambda to the same VPC as the database

*Create a security group for the lambda

*Modify / add a security group for the RDS, in which you allow the VPC's security group as inbound providing the connection port.

*Add policy AWSLambdaVPCAccessExecutionRole to lambda function

That's supposed to be it, however it is not working for me.
I have checked other possible errors:

*

*DNS of database not found. Solved by setting an internet gateway for the VPC, checked that the DNS is properly resolved

*Inbound and Outbound rules of the lambda functions. Solved by setting literally all traffic for both directions.

*Outbound rule for DB's security group is set to all traffic and destinations

Note: I can connect to the database via a VPN using another security group, meaning it's not a credential error.
I really don't understand what else I'm missing at this point

A: Finally found the answer, the error was due to the fact that the RDS was on a public subnet which had an internet gateway. In this case, the solution is as follows:

*

*Create a public NAT gateway (attached to a public subnet, with an elastic ip)

*Create one (or more) private subnets in the same VPC

*Create a route with the "Destination" as "0.0.0.0", "Target" as the Internet Gateway, and save your settings. Associate this route with the public subnets

*Create a route in this table with the "Destination" as "0.0.0.0", "Target" as the NAT Gateway created previously, and save your settings. Associate this route with the private subnets
Finally, connect the lambda to the private subnet(s) only
