Capstones Shift: architectural legacies of the revolutionary period in Dublin
Capstones shift, nothing resettles right.
Telluric ash and fire-spores boil away.
Seamus Heaney, 'Anything Can Happen', District and Circle, 2006
The early 20th-Century Irish revolutionary period left many legacies, not the least of which was its direct impact on buildings. From the loss of buildings destroyed to the debates about how to repair the city fabric and on to the rebuilding itself, there is ample scope to reflect on the physical impact of the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War, on central Dublin in particular.
This exhibition, with sixteen panels and over 110 images, draws on the holdings of the Irish Architectural Archive to focus on a selection of prominent Dublin buildings destroyed, or utterly changed, by the events of Easter 1916 and later. These buildings were central to myriad social, commercial, political and religious patterns of life. Their absence, or removal from use, would have had an immediate and disconcerting effect on the daily routines and interactions of thousands of ordinary Dubliners as they lived, moved, worked, prayed and entertained themselves in the post-Rising city: quotidian disruptions making unavoidable and unignorable the profound political phase-shift that had occurred.
Dublin was not the only place affected by the violent destruction of buildings. The centre of Cork was burned in December 1920, while over 275 country houses were attacked and destroyed between the start of the War of Independence and the end of the Civil War. But the shock of widespread building damage was first felt in Dublin and recurred more often, while the quality of some of the buildings destroyed, coupled with the fact that Dublin became the capital of the newly independent state, brought a particular intensity to the debates around loss and rebuilding.

Electronically-stored information: Figuring out the nitty-gritty of ESI
Jeremy Byellin
The mountains of personal data to which today's lawyers have access — not to mention the ease with which it can be accessed — would leave those from a generation ago flabbergasted.
Much of this personal data can be uncovered as electronically-stored information (ESI) on social media, with its massive offerings of self-disclosed personal facts and tidbits that would have only previously been compiled so neatly in an individual's private diary.
The raw breadth of this ESI may leave attorneys feeling overwhelmed, perhaps pondering several questions: What exactly is out there? How can we get it? And what can you do with this information once you have it?
While I can't completely walk you through every situation from start to finish, I can offer answers to these three questions that may serve as a helpful starting point in your research.
What information Is available?
So, what is meant by the "mountains of personal data" available as ESI? Instead of just haphazardly dumping a list of different types of personal data that may mean absolutely nothing out of context, let's start with another question: Where do you find this information?
Indeed, the ESI that you can access is mainly dependent on the source of that information. For instance, you are highly unlikely to find an individual's criminal record on Facebook (although you never know), just as you'd be hard pressed to find that individual's opinions about a current news story in his or her voter registration.
Thus, knowing your sources is instrumental in defining the types of ESI that can be accessed. And these sources generally fall into one of two categories: social media or public records.
And I mean "social media" broadly enough to include not only your typical sources like Facebook and Twitter, but also other services such as cloud email platforms, blogs, and dating sites. Most lawyers are by and large reasonably aware of social media and the (sometimes inappropriate) amount of information furnished by individuals about themselves and their lives. Perhaps, though, not as many know the kind of information accessible from social media.
It's possible for attorneys to collect, among other things, social media message content; multimedia assets such as photos and videos; affiliation lists (such as Facebook "Friends" or LinkedIn's "Connections"); geolocation data; IP addresses used; login dates and times; site browsing history; and credit card information.
In other words, social media can be an excellent source of all the information furnished by individuals themselves, as well as the information recorded about users because of their simple use of the site or service.
Delving into public records
Another area of ESI is public records. The sheer number of various public records databases in existence means that, under most circumstances, substantial ESI data can be obtained on nearly any individual. Although these records have been maintained mainly in the same or similar fashion today as they had been long before the rise of social media, the electronic centralization and accessibility of ESI records is relatively new. In other words, the kind of comprehensive record-searching that would have been cost- and time-prohibitive two or three decades ago is now within the grasp of most attorneys.
As mentioned above, though, there is a wide assortment of databases — too many to list here in this limited space comprehensively. But here's the short version of what kind of ESI data you can collect on individuals:
criminal records (including those relating to arrests)
other court records (such as civil lawsuits, bankruptcies, liens, and judgments)
phone and email records
asset records.
There are also several public record searches of business entities available, and some public record searches even allow you to locate any potential social media accounts or other web sites regarding the search.
How to get ESI data
First up is social media. There is a distinction between the two types of information accessible from social media.
The first category – most of the information directly supplied by the user – is what is known as message content information. And that's relevant because social media sites like Facebook are prohibited by federal law (namely, the Store Communications Act) from releasing those records to you without the consent of either the sender or the recipient of said "messages." "Messages" here, by the way, is defined broadly: it means not only private messages and wall posts, but also Facebook "Likes" and user location data (that a user supplies directly).
So how do you get that juicy, juicy info? Well, for one, you can try asking that person nicely (or, you know, not so nicely with a demand for production). Since the individual is the sender of these messages, he or she should generally have access to any content (as long as it hasn't been deleted). But if you're concerned that such a request may not produce all of the available information (even if rules of evidence prohibit such conduct by the opposing party), you may want to find a way to obtain that information directly.
And doing so is as simple as finding a recipient of that person's "messages." How do we know who he recipients of such messages are? Courts have generally held that whoever the user allows to see his or her content are "recipients." Thus, if the subject's privacy settings on the social media account in question are sufficiently low, you may be able just to get that information yourself. If the profile isn't accessible by the public, there may be yet someone who is within the metaphorical line-in-the-sand drawn by the privacy settings, and that person may have access to the social media page at issue.
But what about the other category of information — that data recorded because of site usage? Most often, you can get this information through a subpoena. True, it will be next to impossible for you to obtain message content through a subpoena without consent of the user who published the content, but there is a surprisingly broad array of data that is readily accessible with a subpoena. And a user's online habits — such as how often one is online, from where he or she logged on, and his or her browsing history — can by itself paint a comprehensive picture of a person.
Online people searches are a bit more established – and, thanks to comprehensive search services that compile multiple databases together – more straightforward. Although there is normally a financial cost for access to these services, they are indispensable in many circumstances and are often able to collect data from multiple sources that would be unavailable anywhere else.
One major caveat is that many of the online people search databases are legally restricted to who may access them and for what purposes they may be accessed. The restrictions for different databases are too numerous to get into here, but you'll more than likely be confronted with them when attempting to access the information — and in many circumstances, you'll likely qualify for one of the acceptable uses for accessing the information (one common such acceptable use is for litigation matters).
What can you use it for?
So now that you know what you can get and from where, and how to get it, you may be wondering for what purpose you would even need the information.
Unless you severely lack in imagination, it's quite unlikely that, as an attorney, you'd need me to explain why something like message content from an adulterous spouse's dating site account would be helpful in a fault divorce proceeding. But perhaps the not-so-tantalizing uses for the information may not be quite as obvious.
Here are some quick examples: Need to find dirt on an important witness for impeachment? How about uncovering potential hidden assets of an opposing party in a divorce? Investigating a business that will be party to a merger and acquisition? What if you're simply trying to conduct process of service on a dodgy (soon-to-be) opposing party, and need to find out where he or she is going to be?
These uses are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using this information for and in anticipation of litigation. As an attorney, surely there are circumstances in which you wanted or needed to know more about an individual or business. That information and more is out there, and most of it is accessible to you with relative ease.

CMOS-Integrated Low-Noise Junction Field-Effect Transistors for Bioelectronic Applications. IEEE Electron Device Letters Date of Publication: 06 June 2018, DOI: 10.1109/LED.2018.2844545.
In this work, we present a CMOS-integrated lownoise junction field-effect transistor (JFET) developed in a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process. These JFETs reduce inputreferred flicker noise power by more than a factor of 10 when compared to equally sized n-channel MOS devices by eliminating oxide interfaces in contact with the channel. We show that this improvement in device performance translates into a factor-of-10 reduction in the input-referred noise of integrated CMOS operational amplifiers when JFET devices are used at the input, significant for many applications in bioelectronics.

The Transgressions of the Filthy-Footed .
Michael Lumish 17/11/2015	Comments Off on The Transgressions of the Filthy-Footed . 2,402 Views
credit: Jewish Press
Over at Israellycool, Deebo has some interesting statistics concerning Jewish visitation to the Temple Mount, illustrated by a couple of very nice pie charts. The statistics come from both the Jerusalem Post and the Jewish Press.
Here are the pie charts.
The green represents the percentage of Muslim visitation to the Temple Mount in 2013 and 2015.
The yellowish-orange represent Christian visitation.
And that thin blue line that is almost entirely invisible? That is the "slice" of Jewish visitation to the holiest site to the Jewish people.
Deebo explains:
As you can clearly see, in 2 years the blue slice in the pie has grown by a whopping 0.1% among the more than 4,000,000 Muslim visitors the site receives each year. The increased storming is a sure sign that Al Aqsa will fall to the Zionists. At this rate of 0.05% growth per year, the number of Jewish visitors are expected to surpass that of Muslim visitors by the year 3009, assuming the number of Muslim visitors remains equal for the next 994 years.
Yes. Yes. Al Aqsa will fall to the Zionists who will transgress upon its sanctity with their filthy feet.
The next time that I am in Israel I intend to really filthy my feet up before I go stomping around on Islam's alleged third holiest religious site. I am not exactly sure how to go about doing that, but I am sure that there is mud to be had.
The truth, of course, is that the Temple Mount is not the third holiest anything to anyone. It is, in fact, the holiest site to the Jewish people, which is precisely why Islam claims it as its own.
If the Jews did not revere it in the first place, you can be sure, neither would Islam.
This is what the place looked like under Ottoman Muslim rule in the nineteenth-century.
Is it not obvious that Arab politicians are constantly trumping up charges against the Jews in order to turn world opinion against the Jewish state and, therefore, against the Jewish people? Is it not obvious that until the Jews returned to the Land of Israel, that Muslims did not much care about Jerusalem?
I am pretty sure that most who read Elder of Ziyon or Israel Thrives or Israellycool or Love of the Land or Jews Down Under, or any number of the pro-Israel / pro-Jewish blogs or journals, recognize this.
The problem is that the rest of the world does not.
When the Arabs start wailing that the Jews are invading Al Aqsa the rest of the world shrugs its shoulders and watches Arabs stab Jews in Jerusalem on their laptops over their morning Pop Tarts. They do not understand that it was only when the Jews began to make aliyah that the Arabs resuscitated Yerushalayim as a "holy site."
For many centuries the only people who cared about the Temple Mount were the surviving observant Jewish remnant in that city. No one else.
The classic question is,
"Can the whole world be wrong and the Jews be right?"
And the answer to that question is,
To the extent that the "whole world" thinks that the Jews of Israel are the persecutors of the Palestinian-Arabs, and usurpers of their ancestral lands, then they are entirely wrong.
The Arabs of the Middle East have, until recently, been beating the hell out of the Jewish minority since Muhammad showed up on the Arabian peninsula with his mystico-religious head-chopping philosophy of fun.
It was thirteen long centuries of persecution and violence under Arab-Muslim imperial rule and sixty-seven years of constant warfare after that since the Jews shook them off.
There was no Judeo-Muslim Golden Age, as some speak about. Dhimmi status for Jewish people under the boot of Islam was sometimes, and in some places, better and sometimes, and in some places, worse, but for thirteen centuries it was almost never better than black people had it in the abominable Jim Crow South.
For centuries stoning Jews was an Arab-Muslim sport. It was the tenth-century Arab equivalency of American baseball. Children played it in the streets for entertainment and social comeradery.
It is said, within Islamic tradition, that Muhammad lined up hundreds of Jewish men and chopped their heads off in the town of Khaybar on the Arabian peninsula. It must have been very satisfying for Muhammad to finally do away with those annoying nay-saying Jews who refused to submit to him as the prophet of Allah. The Jews who were left, the women and children, were sold into slavery or forced to convert to Islam at the point of a blade… a practice toward non-Muslims that continues to this day.
Jewish Wedding in Morocco, Eugène Delacroix-Jüdische Hochzeit in Marokko 1837–41
The Jews had thriving communities throughout the Middle East, but the Arabs killed them and drove them out because Islamic law, al-Sharia, forbids non-Muslim self-determination on any bit of land that was ever a part of the Umma. Thus Jewish sovereignty on historically Jewish land is considered an abomination before Muhammad, the Koran, and the Lord God Almighty.
The very fact of Israel's existence is considered a humiliation to these backward-looking Islamists.
And this is why they bravely send Israeli-Arab children out to stab Jews with kitchen knives.
They have not the strength of character to fight their own fights, so they send their own children out to be killed in their stead.
It must be acknowledged, however, that it is the Euro-Liberal-West that enables this behavior.
European guilt for its colonialist-imperialist past is apparently so profound that they are literally willing to forgive any kind of Arab behavior, no matter how heinous, as they go about the process of committing cultural suicide. And, in addition, they are even paying Arabs and anti-Zionists to undermine the Jewish state as they vomit-out their own traditional, democratic, liberal values.
It was just two days ago that Islamists marched into a rock concert in Paris and slaughtered innocent people with the rat-tat-tat of automatic assault weaponry, even as the European Union is slapping a yellow Star of David upon Israel's forehead for products made in the wrong part of Israel.
I would like to say that it was nice to know you, Europe.
But, in truth… not so much.

Putin is the real winner of the 2016 election
By Ira Winkler - 01/04/17 12:40 PM EST
Russian President Vladimir Putin is the true winner of the U.S. 2016 presidential election. His interests have clearly been served infinitely more than those of the American people and those of either candidate.
While it can be said that Donald Trump Donald John TrumpAmash responds to 'Send her back' chants at Trump rally: 'This is how history's worst episodes begin' McConnell: Trump 'on to something' with attacks on Dem congresswomen Trump blasts 'corrupt' Puerto Rico's leaders amid political crisis MORE will become the most powerful person in the world, Putin will be served even more than him.
To be clear, I personally condemn the attempted interference in the U.S. election by Russian intelligence services. There should have been some form of retaliation by President Obama when Russian intelligence activities were disclosed. Obama's recent retaliation from President Obama is well-deserved, though, and I expect further retaliation instigated by the Senate.
But as Putin knows well, Obama missed his opportunity, and even if Putin had admitted to Trump that he personally authorized hacking the U.S. election, Trump would never want to acknowledge it.
That being said, having previously worked with U.S. intelligence agencies, I can say that Putin's overall disinformation campaign and his efforts to undermine the election worked exceptionally well. Intelligence agencies from all over the world are going to study the hacks, the timing of the leaks, the creation of the fake news stories, the efforts to promote the fake news that Putin's people created, their promotion of fake news created by others and the promotion of any negative news about Clinton.
Putin's tactics will be dissected in every possible way to see how they can be prevented and replicated. Frankly, I think even Putin is surprised about how well his efforts worked, and his people will be analyzing the situation for months to figure out how to best exploit the resulting situation.
To be fair, the U.S. provided Putin with one of the most flawed candidates in history. But Trump didn't make it easier for him, though. His explicit comments about women, hesitance to disclaim white supremacists, insults of Gold Star families, 3 a.m. tweet storms — among other things — came very close to subverting Putin's best efforts.
Putin's perseverance, however, did pay off.
He clearly won from a foreign policy perspective. Despite the fact that Russia is actually a minor player on the world stage from an economic perspective, Trump is treating the country like a superpower again. Clearly, a President Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonHillary Clinton slams Trump rally: 'The time has come again' to fight for democracy Trump blasts minority Democrats, rally crowd chants 'send her back' The Memo: Democrats debate Trump response – 'Being righteous and losing sucks' MORE would have never lifted the economic sanctions against Russia that were put in place due to Putin's invasion of Ukraine (which Trump appeared not to be aware of).
Trump is clearly not disappointing Putin. He so far appears to believe the Russian president more than the U.S. intelligence community, and even people in his own supposed party. Even as Obama announces the sanctions that Republican leaders says are long overdue, Trump compliments Putin for not publicly retaliating.
Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2016
This, as he apparently ignores the leaders of the United States' most longstanding and loyal allies. He even goes as far as insulting them on many occasions, and questioning the unbreakable NATO relationships that have kept Russia from invading Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Minimally, by questioning NATO, trivializing our allies and longstanding treaties, creating policies in opposition to his own party, hiring people to run major agencies they want to dismantle, etc., Trump will create so much confusion around the world that it will let Putin do many things that go unnoticed.
Putin did come close to taking full credit, during a press conference, for his efforts to get Trump elected, but instead ironically lectured the U.S. on accepting the results of a free election.
Trump, however, did not appreciate the irony of that statement, and tweeted it.
Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary and Dems: "In my opinion, it is humiliating. One must be able to lose with dignity." So true!
If I were a Russian citizen, I would be proud of Russian intelligence agencies for this success. It is clearly the first step in what will be a long campaign of complimenting Trump and playing to his weaknesses to achieve long-term goals.
Again, though, as a former member of the U.S. intelligence community, I admire the operation from a professional perspective, but condemn it as something that is against everything I have fought to create.
I'd like to ask one favor of Putin, though — one that will actually benefit him.
Can he please give us back Edward Snowden? He doen't really need Snowden anymore. Snowden already gave up everything he had and he knows, and Putin just kept him around as a thorn in the side of the U.S.
Trump will be a much more effective agent for Putin, and Snowden's return would appear to show Trump as a world-class negotiator. That would give the appearance of a thawing in U.S.-Russian relations.
Vladimir, you have to appear to give us a win.

If you are thinking of organising a kid's party (but don't want to feel stressed out on the day) then you have come to the right place.
We have laid out below some easy tips and tricks to help you deliver a party that will thrill every single guest – and yes, we have taken into account that throwing a successful bash can be extremely challenging!
Whether your child is 5 or 13 years old, every parent's dream is to arrange fun and entertaining birthday parties that all kids will remember.
In order to accomplish this, it is crucial to keep in mind the secrets we are about to share; but the real icing on the cake is developing your own party skills and improving these every year, as no two parties are alike!
This might seem an obvious step, but people don't always commit to planning projects in advance – you would be surprised by the huge amount of money you can save!
If the party's plans are thought through several weeks (or months) in advance you are not only more likely to find the perfect venue, but you will also be able to find budget-friendly accessories to add the finishing touches without feeling out of pocket.
It is important to figure out how much your different options will cost – if some are too expensive, you can easily decide in advance which budget-friendly idea you are going for. Make sure to keep a list of what you spend and don't go over your pre-set budget. This will make sure that both your child and you can enjoy the day without money worries.
If a budget isn't the most serious concern, then think about all of the different ideas that you could have if you give yourself time to plan!
Think of your guests – who will you invite?
It's important to decide who will be on your guest list from the beginning – for example, in the case of younger children it's usually nice to invite everyone from their class so that no child feels left out.
Also, it's crucial to keep in mind the venue's size and capacity! Once you have figured this out, start sending invitations (not too early but not too late either, or you risk only a few people showing up – we suggest you send invites around a month before).
These can be handmade, if you are into paper cutting and colourful pens; or to save paper you can send them online. If you are a fan of e-vites, then you could create a free account with Canva and make the most out of this beginners-friendly platform to create your masterpiece!
Organising a party in accordance with your kid's favourite Disney princess or Pixar superhero is a must. Make sure you know who your child's flavour of the month is before booking! Often, your child and their friends will be going through a stage of obsession for the same character set – which makes this a win-win situation!
Follow your budget guidelines and look for theme-related decorations, outfits, masks, fun food recipes…the list goes on.
If your kid doesn't have Spider-Man or Frozen fever you can always relate the party to a special holiday or season. For example, if their birthday party will take place during April you can throw an Easter Egg hunt; or if it takes place in late October/early November you can arrange a Halloween-related party.
Also, another useful trick is to make the most of our interconnected world – why don't you look for inspiration on platforms such as Pinterest? Who knows, you might end up finding just what your kid has been wishing for!


Valentine's Day is just around the corner and you know what that means! Mass amounts of chocolate delicacies! It's all fun and games when you're making delicious chocolate treats but who are they really meant for? When deciding who to give chocolates to just remember the people who are closest to you. Show gratitude to those who have helped you through hard times or those going through hard times themselves. Above all, make your favorite chocolate dessert. You deserve all the love and gratitude there is to give on this day!
I've narrowed down this year's recipes, including my favorite of course, to 3 exquisite chocolatey goodness desserts! You're definitely in for a treat (pun intended).
To make the crust, place your graham crackers in a ziplock and with a rolling pin crush the crackers until fine in texture. In a bowl, add the crushed graham crackers and melted Kelapo Ghee and mix. Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper and with a non-stick baking spatula spread all the crushed graham crackers on top of the parchment paper until even to create the crust. Place in the freezer.
In a large bowl, add the Kelapo Coconut Oil, heavy cream, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and powdered sugar. Make sure to use a hand mixer when mixing until a thick cream is formed. Remove the pan with the crust from the freezer and spread the peppermint cream on top of the crust. Freeze again for at least an hour. Once frozen, remove the pan from the freezer and cut the sheet of peppermint cream and graham crackers into 36 squares. Place the squares into a metal cooling rack.
In a small bowl, combine the dark chocolate and Kelapo Coconut Oil. Microwave for 20-second intervals, stirring in between each time until chocolate is fully melted. You may have to add a bit more of coconut oil based on the chocolate used. Top the squares with the melted chocolate and then place in the freezer until ready.
These brownies are my absolute favorite! I've received countless compliments on them, but I usually make them for my own indulgence.
Before preparing the mix, be sure to preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, milk, the melted Kelapo 50/50 blend, and the egg. Once that's done, add ½ cup of chopped dark chocolate and the chopped white chocolate, and mix well. Spread the brownie batter on a 9-inch square pan covered with parchment paper. Sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate on top and bake for about 30 minutes. Let cool before serving and then dig in!

Effect of Silitidil, a standardized extract of milk thistle, on the serum prolactin levels in female rats
Capasso, R.
Natural Product Communications 9(7): 943-944
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Silitidil, a standardized extract of milk thistle, on the serum levels of prolactin in female rats. A 14-day treatment with Silitidil (25-200 mg/kg, per os), a standardized extract of Silybum marianum fruits (milk thistle), increased, in a dose dependent manner, the serum prolactin levels in female rats. Galega (200 mg/kg, per os) given alone neither modified the basal levels of prolactin nor increased further serum prolactin levels when associated with Silitidil. Bromocriptine (1 mg/kg, per os) significantly reduced the high serum prolactin levels induced by Silitidil (200 mg/kg, per os). The results show that the extract of S. marianum fruits significantly increases prolactin levels in female rats; this effect is not potentiated by galega and seems to involve, at least in part, dopamine D2 receptors.

Property Committee Gains Victory over Baturina
Dec. 04 2012 00:00
The Moscow Arbitration Court has set the tone for the ongoing legal struggle between Yelena Baturina, former head of the development company Inteko, and the state property agency concerning land on the west side of the city, Vedomosti reported.
The court decided that the large plots, at the intersection of Minskaya Ulitsa and Starovolynskaya Ulitsa, were illegally inserted into the official cadastral plan, according to the legal information service Rapsi.
In June, the court ordered that Baturina hand over 16.4 hectares of the disputed land, which is known as Setunskai. The new court decision raises the question of ownership of the remaining 8 hectares.
The entire property was purchased in 2003 by a company controlled by Baturina, and it was put on the cadastral plan. However, in 1993, part of the plot was designated for diplomatic missions by then-President Boris Yeltsin.

Volleyball: Lady Spartans notch back to back wins
Posted by editor on in Sports, Volleyball | 0 Comment
By Dan Karpiel
Good things come to those who wait, and work, and fight, and never give up.
Playing last Thursday in the Rusty Mathena Gymnasium, the Berthoud High School (BHS) volleyball team picked up their first win of the year in defeating rival Roosevelt 3-1 (28-26, 23-25, 25-16, 25-23). The Lady Spartans kept the streak going on the road Tuesday night in Erie, winning a hotly-contested match 3-2 (16-25, 25-22, 25-19, 19-25, 15-11).
Photo by Tiffany Rafferty –
Berthoud's Calli Taylor (left) and McKayla Milan team up for a block in last Thursday's match against Roosevelt, where the Lady Spartans notched their first victory of the season.
"It feels so good, we always love beating Roosevelt, they're a big rival for us," said sophomore Emma Genger, who was a big part of a dominant Berthoud front row. "It really took us staying together as a team, being there for each other, and we really were a team in this one, and we did it, we won!"
Berthoud Head Coach Mil Santos said getting the win, was "huge," and noted both the play of the front row as well as Lady Spartans strong serving on the night. "We needed some fire power and I think we got that today. Everybody in the front row was able to contribute in some way whether it's blocking or hitting or picking up tips off the blockers, it worked out very, very well for us," Santos said.
The match with Roosevelt was closely contested throughout, yet Berthoud served notice early that they are a far better team than their 0-10 record entering the match would portend. A tandem block from Genger and McKayla Milan gave the Lady Spartans a 4-3 lead early in the first set. Berthoud kept at it with their attack, keeping Roosevelt from pulling away late in the set. A kill from Teagan Holmes, who posted an astounding .385 hit percentage on the night, knotted the match at 21-21, and another from Calli Taylor tied things at 26-26 before Berthoud got the final two points to win the first set.
The first set was indicative of the way the next three would flow, back-and-forth with neither team allowing the other to pull away. As Genger explained after the match, it was the little things Berthoud did that tilted the scale in their favor. "What really made the difference was that our serving was really on tonight, passing right to the setter, and knowing when to tip and when to hit, it was all those little things," the sophomore explained.
A late rally gave Roosevelt the win in the second set, but the third saw Berthoud assert itself. An ace from Genger and another tandem block from Milan and Annalise Carr put Berthoud ahead 14-7. A later kill from Holmes gave the Lady Spartans a 18-10 lead and, following a Roosevelt timeout, an ace from sophomore libero Allison Waller put the score 22-12 in the home team's favor, the biggest lead either team enjoyed in the four-set match.
For the first time all season Berthoud was able to keep their opponents off balance from start to finish, something Santos noted was a major factor in getting the victory. "It was probably one of our better serving games. We do work on that during the course of the week in practice, but there was something there today that was just right on. We got a few aces in there and we put them in position where the setter could not dump the ball. She was passing everything in the 10-foot line and beyond. We were able to eliminate that aspect of their game," Santos said.
In the decisive fourth set the Lady Spartans took command early, jumping out to a 5-2 lead after a Holmes block. The lead was extended to 6-3 on a kill from Taylor, who joined Holmes with a team-best 12 kills in the match. Roosevelt managed to catch up, but Berthoud never let their rivals get the edge. Late in the fourth set, an ace from Samara Santos and kills from Milan and Alexis Creager were momentum-shifting plays that helped propel Berthoud to the 25-23 win.
Tuesday night's win in Erie saw another instance of the Berthoud squad getting contributions from every corner of their roster. Junior Logan Nissen paced Berthoud with 10 kills while Genger contributed nine more to go, with a team-best seven blocks. Martha Rennaker and Waller each had three serving aces and Taylor added another two.
Berthoud (2-10, 2-3 TVC) has two home games remaining on the regular season schedule as they will host Mead (8-3, 2-2 TVC) Thursday, Oct. 10 and then welcome Fort Morgan to BHS on Oct. 15.

El Ball de bastons de Llorenç del Penedès és una dansa popular pròpia de Llorenç del Penedès.

Està impulsada per l'entitat El Centre d'ençà de la seva fundació, el 1896. A principis del segle XX es deixà de ballar fins a la dècada del 1920, quan joves de la població van anar a aprendre a ballar de nou durant dos anys a l'Arboç. El vestuari està format per espardenyes amb vetes blanques, mitjans, pantalons i camisa blanca, camals de cascavells curts vermells amb vora groga, faldellí vermell amb sanefa groga, faixa vermella i banda vermella creuada al pit amb l'escut del grup. Del vestuari utilitzat entre el 1896 i el 1921 s'han perdut el capell, la senyera catalana de la banda, la faldilla era més llarga i els camalls estaven més carregats de picarols.

Entre els diversos balls hi ha La creu, que el fundador de la colla, mossèn Font, va adaptar del tema L'airosa que forma part de diversos llibrets de llibertat d'orgue de Nadal. Un altre és la Marxa, que incorpora primers compassos similars als d'un ball de bastons recollit al Llibre d'Orgue de Calaf. També destaca El Pastoret, una melodia popular que es correspon amb El Gegant del Pi. El Xotis és una melodia singular, sense influències conegudes. Finalment, el Ball de Sant Llorenç, compost per Jordi Camell el 1996, és més difícil d'interpretar que la resta. A Llorenç també es piquen els balls La processó i El tera, procedents del repertori de l'Arboç. Una gralla és l'acompanyament musical.

CLUB STATEMENT: North Stand Test Event
Following a series of meetings between the club, the developer and the certifying authorities all parties are endeavouring to ensure that the first 'ramp up' event for the club's new North Stand proceeds as planned tomorrow.
Safety is obviously our priority and there are still some issues to resolve with all parties working tirelessly to do so. The club will issue a definitive statement as soon as we are able.
In the meantime, the following ticketing arrangements have been established for the game:
Should the 'ramp up' event proceed as planned the stand capacity has been set at 1200 for safety reasons and as a result the club would invite North Stand season ticket holders to participate in the test event.
North Stand season ticket holders should present their North Stand season ticket books at the turnstiles located at either end of the stand from 1.45pm on Saturday to gain admission.
Once the capacity for the event has been reached there will be no further admittance to the North Stand.
There will be no opportunity to purchase tickets for the North Stand for this test event.
The club would like to remind its disabled season ticket holders that there is no wheelchair access for this event and that facilities pertaining to such access and egress will be tested in the future.
If the 'ramp up' event is not given the go ahead, North Stand Season ticket holders will be able to gain access to the ground in either the TLH Auctioneers Rochdale Road Stand or George Hill Main Stand on production of their North Stand season ticket books at the turnstiles.
Given the short time frame available tickets for the George Hill Main Stand Upper will be issued on the turnstiles for this fixture.

OK I had a non critical failure, I built my raid6 array with 4 drives (one missing) and mounted it. This was a replacement array and when the new array was online I planed to shut down the first array ( still in the same machine) and give it's drives to the second array as second parity and a spare drive.
As can be the case in my office, I didn't get around to that change right away, and yesterday when I prepared to make these changes, I found that the array had degraded to only two drives ( no parity) several days earlier. I had not gotten an email notice about the failure.
So I start watching the sync process and about 10 minutes lator the machine stops responding to me. my ssh session locks up. The server stops responding to pings. I can't do anything.
I get into the office in the moring and find the machine just locked up. No error messages on screen just totaly unresponsive. .. So I reboot. Mount the array (/dev/md1) read only and tell it to add a drive.
and it SLOWLY starts the sync process. All the drives in this array are 160 GB disks, I have timed the current process at 3 minutes per 1% completed or just under 5 hours for the whole process.
I guess that's not totaly unrealistic, it took about that long to copy the files onto this array, and that only involved about 1/2 of the data. to do this, I guess the Raid process needs to read and process 300 Gb of data and write a new 150~160 Gb of data.
26% of the re-sync completed.. I needed to change the mount mode to read/write because a user needed to save files to the server.
I hope I don't regret it.
Since it will be 4+ hours until the array is done re-adding the second parity drive, I don't think I will test those settings today. but Idealy I won't need to rebuild anything if the machine resets again.

Equip me
Christian, you can hack too!
Kewei Jiang November 22, 2017
New Zealand, Missions
Is this hacking the kind where people break into computers and steal passwords? No, that's not what I mean. I'm talking about "hacking" which combines creativity, critical thinking, programming skills and a lot of teamwork to build quick digital solutions.
That's what we did during Labour weekend at the Indigitous #HACK Hackathon. We had four teams from Auckland and Wellington who worked tirelessly on creating apps, websites and games. While the average hackathon aims to solve problems for big companies or to create startups, #HACK was all about the mission of making Christ's disciples in all nations.
Missions Interlink, an association of Kiwi missional organisations, wanted a tool to help people overcome apathy and fear to use digital evangelism resources they have access to.
One team at #HACK looked to give people a trusted method of sharing how they have had success using online evangelism tools so that users could have confidence in the tools they found.
They created a website to help people browse and choose from a variety of evangelism resources. People could also share their experiences of using different tools and content for evangelism and leave ratings for them. This means that people could find out about different online evangelism tools, and choose ones that had a proven track record with other online evangelists.
Jesus.net, a network of international Christian organisations, wanted to create Gospel-centred media to point non-believers to Jesus using storytelling.
The team at #HACK that responded to this challenge decided, after weighing up a number of different options, to make an interactive storytelling game.
The game takes you on a journey set in a peaceful kingdom which becomes plagued by a curse, leading to a climax where the ruler of the kingdom sacrifices himself to cleanse his people of this curse. The example of this king (who is like Jesus) inspires people to think about the supernatural response of God's love to our fallenness.
What kind of people attend these events? Well, there's space for programmers, testers, designers, illustrators, data scientists, engineers, or marketers, whether students or professionals. Most importantly, all of us have faith that God can use us, are open to new learning experiences, and can collaborate with one another.
Hear what one participant had to say about the event:
I went to #HACK mostly to meet new people in the tech field and to build a cool product together. So I wasn't completely expecting it to be such a good growth opportunity for me. Firstly our team devotions were perfectly timed reminders that the results are all God's doing and our priority in all we do should be to give God the glory. Secondly it opened my eyes to see the needs that I can help fill with digital solutions for ministries all over the world and particularly in NZ. Thirdly it was just a great, fun experience to build up a wider and spirituality beneficial community. And the swag! I praise God for leading me to #Hack 2017.
– Angelica Legaspi
We live at a time where our lives are deeply affected by technology. This means we can have a huge impact on God's Kingdom through partnering with Him in tech. These days we can learn almost any skill online for free. So we have no excuse not to create new "hacks" to bring the good news of Jesus through digital means!

The Big Mo
This article is about the behavioural concept. For the battleship, see USS Missouri (BB-63). For the rapper, see Big Moe. For the book, see The Big Mo (book).
The Big Mo ("Big Momentum") is behavioral momentum that operates on a large scale. The concept originally applied to sporting events in the 1960s in the United States, as momentum appeared to have an effect on a team's performance.[1] Successful teams were said to have "The Big Mo" on their side. This has since extended situations in which momentum is a driving factor, such as during political campaigns, social upheavals, economic cycles, and financial bubbles.[2]
In modern historyEdit
The term was used by George H. W. Bush during his quest for the Republican nomination to run for President in 1980. After he won the Iowa caucuses, and was facing further contests, Bush Senior said: "Now they will be after me, howling and yowling at my heels. What we will have is momentum. We will look forward to Big Mo being on our side, as they say in athletics."[3]
Eventually, Bush lost to Ronald Reagan who went on to become the 40th President of the United States.
ImpactEdit
Research conducted in 2005, by Christopher Hull at Georgetown University, US, suggested that from 1980 to 2000, "Big Mo" (large scale momentum) had amplified key events in US presidential races.[4]
A Newton's cradle demonstrates momentum effect.
In 2007, three researchers from the London Business School, Elroy Dimson, Paul Marsh and Mike Staunton, observed in their paper "108 Years of Momentum Profits" that "momentum appears to have an inordinate and unexplained impact on the behaviour of investment markets that contradicts the efficient market theory". One of the researchers, Dr Paul Marsh said, "We remain puzzled (by these findings) and we are not the only ones; most academics are vaguely embarrassed by this."[5]
In the lead-up to the British election in May 2010, James Forsyth, the political editor of The Spectator magazine, wrote, "The Big Mo is with the Tories. In a campaign, momentum matters. It is, for good or ill, the prism through which the media report things."[6]
In 2010, an analysis conducted by Mark Roeder, a former executive at the Swiss-based UBS Bank, suggested that Big Mo "played a pivotal role" in the 2008–09 global financial crisis. Roeder suggested that,
recent technological advances, such as computer-driven trading programs, together with the increasingly interconnected nature of markets, has magnified the momentum effect. This effect is not limited to the financial markets. It can be felt across other aspects of society, particularly in politics, business, technology and the media where Big Mo now operates on a massive scale.[7]
In January 2011, a report in The Economist magazine, titled "The Big Mo", said,
The momentum effect drives a juggernaut through one of the tenets of finance theory, the efficient-market hypothesis... Even the high priests of efficient-market theory have acknowledged [its impact]. Well-paid fund managers have spent decades trying to find ways to beat the market. But you have to wonder why they bother devoting so much money and effort to researching the fortunes of individual companies when the momentum approach appears to be easy to exploit and has been around for a long time... The momentum effect raises a further important issue. If markets are rational, as the efficient-market hypothesis assumed, then they will allocate capital to its most productive uses. But the momentum effect suggests that an irrationality might be at work; investors could be buying shares (and commodities) just because they have risen in price. That would help explain why bubbles are created and why professional investors ended up allocating capital to dotcom companies with no earnings and business plans written on the back of a cigarette packet. Momentum can carry whole economies off track.[8]
Theoretical analysisEdit
The mechanism by which momentum influences human behaviour on a large scale is not known, but a number of theories exist. In 1982, a research team led by John Nevin, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of New Hampshire, US, together with Charlotte Mandel and Jean Atak, wrote a paper called "The Analysis of Behavioural Momentum", in which they explored why certain behaviours can become persistent over time. The team proposed that people's tendency to continue to behave in a certain way, and resist change, is dependent on the type of reinforcement they receive. The team developed a method for calculating the impact of behavioural momentum, based on the Newtonian formula: ΔV = f / m, in which ΔV is the change in velocity or, in behavioural terms, response rate; Velocity (V) refers to the response rate; mass (m) refers to the response strength, and force (f) refers to the change in the contingencies for the behaviour (i.e., environment change). The work of Nevin, Mandel and Atak has been influential in the development of social and health-care policies, such as drug rehabilitation programs, where behavioural persistence (momentum) and relapse are critical issues. [9]
More controversial theories about behavioural momentum derive from quantum physics and quantum field theory. In her book The Field, author Lyn McTaggart cites experiments that show that in certain group environments that, "each member of the group becomes less highly-tuned to their own separate information and more receptive to that of other group members. In effect, they pick up someone else's information from the 'field' as if it were their own". She says this phenomenon is akin to what sports teams experience when they "enter the zone" and are influenced by momentum.[10]
In World War IIEdit
The "Big Mo" was also the nickname for the battleship USS Missouri. This was the ship where Japan signed their surrender to the United States.

Der Bundestagswahlkreis Hamburg-Nord I war ein Wahlkreis in Hamburg für die Wahlen zum Deutschen Bundestag. Er umfasste den Bezirk Hamburg-Nord ohne die Stadtteile Uhlenhorst, Hohenfelde, Barmbek-Süd, Dulsberg und Barmbek-Nord.

Geschichte
Der Wahlkreis Hamburg-Nord I war bei der Bundestagswahl 1949 die Nummer 2 der Hamburg Wahlkreise, hatte danach die bundesweite Wahlkreisnummer 18 und für die Wahlen 1965 bis 1976 schließlich die Nummer 15. Bei den Wahlen 1953 bis 1961 hieß der Wahlkreis Hamburg IV.

Der Wahlkreis bestand für die Bundestagswahlen 1949 bis 1961 unverändert aus den Stadtteilen Hoheluft-Ost, Eppendorf, Groß Borstel, Alsterdorf, Ohlsdorf, Fuhlsbüttel und Langenhorn sowie aus dem zum Bezirk Eimsbüttel gehörigen Stadtteil Hoheluft-West. Vor der Bundestagswahl 1965 wurden die Wahlkreise neu zugeschnitten. Seitdem bestand der Wahlkreis in der eingangs beschriebenen Form.

Vor der Bundestagswahl 1980 wurde der Wahlkreis schließlich mit dem Nordteil des Wahlkreises Hamburg-Wandsbek (Ortsamtsbereiche Alstertal und Walddörfer ohne den Stadtteil Volksdorf) zum Wahlkreis Hamburg-Nord vereinigt.

Abgeordnete

Direkt gewählte Abgeordnete des Wahlkreises Hamburg IV bzw. Hamburg-Nord I waren

1)Schäfer war 1953 der gemeinsame Kandidat des Hamburg-Blocks, einem Bündnis von CDU, FDP, GB/BHE und DP. Die CDU, die DP und der GB/BHE nominierten keine eigene Direktkandidaten und riefen zur Wahl von Schäfer auf.

2)Gröwel war 1949 die gemeinsame Kandidatin von CDU und FDP. Die FDP trat im Wahlkreis Hamburg IV nicht zur Wahl an und rief zur Wahl von Gröwel auf.

This colorful and flavorful mountain of bulgur, flecked with pomegranates, walnuts and herbs, is typical of the out-of-the box thinking of the chef Ori Menashe. He learned how to char vegetables in a heavy pan from chefs from Mexico City, who did a pop-up at his Los Angeles restaurant Bestia before it opened and showed him their technique for adding a smoky flavor to rice. (Libyan and Egyptian cooks also have started stews this way for centuries.) Just be careful about the hot pepper as it chars; it might make you cough, so keep the window open for the 6 minutes it takes to do this. This recipe yields 8 cups of cooked bulgur, but you only need 6 cups for the salad. Use those leftover 2 cups in other salads or add them to soups for heft and texture.
Featured in: The Bestia And Bavel Chefs On Feasting After The Yom Kippur Fast.
Prepare the bulgur: In a large, dry heavy pan over high heat, use tongs to char the onion, celery, carrot, bay leaves and chile until completely burnt, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add 8 cups of water and the salt, and cook until reduced by half, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Mix the vinegar and shallot in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified.
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, mix 6 cups of the bulgur, the pomegranate seeds, walnuts, red onion, mint and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the vinaigrette and toss until just incorporated, but don't overmix. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.
In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche, garlic, chile and dill and spread the mixture on the bottom of a serving platter. Pile the salad on top and finish with a drizzle of pomegranate molasses and a pinch more pepper.

          }
        }
      }

This is just a sample to illustrate. The ansible-playbook commands here, are still under execution when the stack shows as completed. Is there any way to delay the create condition on the stack to make sure all the user data is executed first. I tried using the wait condition but it is not giving the desired result.

A: Associate a CreationPolicy with your resource to prevent its status from reaching 'create complete' until your userdata script signals CloudFormation (at the end of userdata). Here's an example.

Many people ask how to spell karaoke. Common misspellings include- kareoke, karoke, karaokes, karioke, karoke, and kareokee.
Karaoke literally translates as empty orchestra. Origin Japan. Karaoke is a form of entertainment where the instrumentals to popular songs are played minus the vocals, allowing brave volunteers the opportunity to sing the vocals to an audience, typically off of a video prompter. The CD's required for karaoke are usually CDG enabled discs. What are CDG discs? CDG represents CD + Graphics, these low resolution graphics played on a specialized karaoke machine allows for the lyrics of a screen to be played in time with the instrumentals of a music track. Often confused with karaoke dvds, cdg karaoke is the choice of karaoke professionals. Several TV shows have been created based on America's love for karaoke including "The Singing Bee" found currently on NBC.

Home / Audio / Music / Thank You, Mister Rogers: Music and Memories
Ages: All Ages - All AgesProducer: ACT IV MusicArtist: Various Artists
Music—comforting, reassuring, and specific to the concerns and anxieties of young children—was a staple of Mister Rogers Neighborhood. The deceptively simple songs were written and performed on the show by Fred Rogers, who not everyone knows was an accomplished musician (and who met his wife, Joanne, at the conservatory where they both studied). In this fine tribute album, award-winning artists offer a treasure trove of well-matched interpretations of several of Fred Rogers' child-affirming songs, arranged with care by Dennis Scott. In the first track, the smooth, signature harmonies of 1960s pop group the Cowsills perfectly complement "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" Actress-singer Rita Wilson (whose husband, Tom Hanks portrayed Fred in the 2019 film, "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood") delivers a thoroughly lovely rendition of "Sometimes People Are Good," and Vanessa Williams' oh-so-tender "Many Ways to Say I Love You" is deeply moving. Among the several other artists featured: Micky Dolenz of Monkees fame ("It's a Perfectly Beautiful Day"), Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. ("Let's Be Together Today"), Kellie Pickler ("It's Such a Good Feeling"), and Grammy-winning, Latin crossover artist Jon Secada singing "Podemos Ser Amigos?" The album ends with the ensemble performing "Thank You for Being You," an original song very much in the Fred Rogers vein, written by Scott as a touching appreciation for what Rogers meant, and still means, to so many: "Thank you for helping us stand on our own/ thank you for bringing the world to our home/…thank you for being you."

Coast Modern
Most Popular • Documentary, 01-Jan-2012
Travelling along the Pacific North West coastline from LA to Vancouver, the film showcases the pioneers of West Coast Modernist Architecture, and the homes that have become their legacies. Stepping inside the most inspired dwellings on the west coast, we feel how the light and space of a classic Modernist home can work in collaboration with the natural environment. Dion Neutra tells us that the way to live is to have 'the comfort of being inside, yet you have the feeling of being outside', and it is this established principle that contemporary Modernist architects are emulating and evolving. This relaxed journey takes us across three generations of Modernist architecture, all finding beauty in their own times, and all taking us back to the basics of true living - a sense of place, light, and a deep connection to the earth. Interviewed in Coast Modern are some of the most respected names in architecture, including James Steele, Barbara Lamprecht, Ray Kappe, Hernik Bull, Pierluigi Serraino, Michael Folonis, Dion Neutra, Douglas Coupland, John Cava, Barbara Bestor and legendary photographer Julius Shulman.
