It's my pleasure to welcome debut author Boo Walker here today to answers some questions and talk about his latest release, LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH, which offers thriller/suspense/mystery readers a real treat.
LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH is a mystery thriller where the hero, a DEA agent who recently experienced tragedy (an accidental killing of a friend) and a broken heart (wife left him), goes back to his hometown, Charleston, to regroup. There, finds himself in the middle of a complicated drug trafficking scheme that threatens the lives of the people he knows.
What's unique about the story is that yes, it has all the things that mystery and thriller readers love—fast-moving, expertly crafted plot, intelligent twists, plenty of action/surprises etc.—but it also gives us a fully rendered character, with a personal story that's just as engaging (and surprising) as the action. The setting and the way it's written, adds to both his personal struggles and the action. The result is a really fun read.
The hero, TA Reddick, is tough as nails—a real guy's guy—but has a believable weakness for women (they twist him every which way, and his broken heart may as well be a bullet wound). And he comes across real, like the kind of guy you'd love to hang out with (and be saved by.
Boo is here to answer some questions for me about his book and his writing.
Mason - The age old question - What inspired you to write this book?
BOO - Oddly enough, I wanted to write a love story. My kind of love story, not romantic fiction but a love story wrapped up in a thriller cloak. T.A. Reddick is one of those guys that just can't get a break with the women in his life, and I had a ball watching him get kicked while he was down. Of course, I knew he could handle it. As far as location, I've loved Charleston since I was a boy, and I had so much I wanted to share with the world about the Holy City, so it only made sense to set Reddick loose there. And as far as the DEA thing, as a boy and even so now, I love Miami Vice. So this is my version of Miami Vice, a lowcountry version.
Mason - How do you go about doing research for your writing? Is it a process you enjoy or just find it necessary?
BOO - In researching LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH, I called the local DEA office in Charleston. Two weeks later, I walked into their office and was led to a board room with four or five agents in there. I was terrified at first, almost like I had done something wrong but after they interrogated me for a while, it started to get fun. They must have spent an hour with me answering questions and tossing out ideas. I think they enjoyed it too. I kept in touch with one of the agents and we started having lunch together about once a week. Though he asked that I not mention his name, I owe him a great deal. Other than that, I did a ton of reading. I must have read just about every book out there written by or about DEA agents. I even found a copy of the official DEA manual on Ebay. Needless to say, I had a blast doing the research and above all else, it's where many of my best ideas came from.
Mason - What was the best/worst thing about writing?
BOO - The worst is always the depression.... that feeling that you're no good. That little voice that asks you why the heck you're spending all that time locked up in a room trying to write a story worth reading. I think all writers go through that. But it's those that get past it and are able to shut that voice out that finish their books and find the light at the end. The best part is easy... there's not much more satisfying in this world than typing the last lines of a book. You know you've bested those voices that were desperate in talking you out of it and that you've really accomplished something worth being proud of.
Mason - Is there a message you'd like readers to take away from your book?
BOO - First off, I hope they fall in love with Charleston, just like I did. Not enough to move here but enough to come visit. I want to keep the population right where it is! Secondly, I hope everyone closes the book with a little different perspective on love. We all need reminders that there is nothing more important in this world than those we love. I hope this book does that in an odd, thriller-like way.
Mason - What can readers expect next from you?
BOO - I am a couple chapters away from finishing my next one, TURN OR BURN. It's a story about Harper Knox, a war vet and military contractor who has left the battlefield and returned to his home on Red Mountain in Eastern WA State to plant a vineyard on his family's land, hoping that a more relaxed lifestyle might help him heal from PTSD. But as most everyone who starts a vineyard experiences, he is running out of money. So he agrees to take a bodyguard gig in Seattle protecting a doctor on the cusp of some very advanced discoveries regarding the connection between man and machine. Harper will soon discover PTSD is the last of his worries. And of course, there's a woman right in the middle of it, and just like my wife, she has thick Italian blood running right through her!
Boo, thanks for guest blogging and answering these questions for me. It's fun knowing Miami Vice had an influence on your writing (fun show). Your next book sounds intriguing too.
Now for a little background on Boo. He spent his College of Charleston years and a few after in Nashville as a banjoist and songwriter for the avant-garde punchgrass band, The Biscuit Boys. Some hand problems knocked him out of the game, and he stumbled into a position with Automated Trading Desk, a short term equity trading firm based out of Mt. Pleasant, SC. To feed his ravenous muse, he began writing his first novel, LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH. Around that time, what started as a passion in wine became a neurosis.
After six years of the Wall Street thing, Boo decided it was time to end his sedentary, computer-driven lifestyle. He grew out a handlebar mustache and moved clear across the country into a double-wide trailer situated on 5 acres of Malbec vines just down the road from Hedges Family Estate on Red Mountain in Washington State. The Hedges family took him in and taught him the art of farming and the old world philosophies of wine. He now travels North America peddling the family's vintage, and chances are you can find him in an airport somewhere working on his next novel.

Here is what some readers had to say about LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH:
"His characters were so enthralling and believable- that I felt as if I was sharing their moments concurrently with them. I can't wait for his next book...I hope TA/Travis returns!! Bravo!" -- Teacher Traveler
"This was a great book, full of laughter and intrigue, then finally a can't-put-it-down finish that had me reading late into the night! It's a fast-paced mystery with a tough-as-nails, gritty hero, TA Reddick. He's quick to anger and eager to fight, yet openly adores his family, his loves, wine and jazz, with great references to musical artists and banjo." -- Elizabeth
"I was impressed with Walker's ability to craft his first novel with the color and eloquence of a longtime novelist. His first person narration transported me to the Lowcountry in a way that authors such as Conroy and Benton Frank haven't been able to do for me. Any transplant to the area can more easily imagine themselves in the Charleston Walker paints over the romanticized versions depicted by the more well known authors." -- Mermaid
"I had a hard time putting Boo Walker's LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH down! To complete a book in a couple of days between working and caring for two kids under ate 2 says a lot. Good job, Boo- cant wait for the next one!" -- RJRobbins
Here's a recap of the synposis:
After one of the worst nights of his life, DEA Agent T.A. Reddick leaves Miami for Charleston, South Carolina, hoping a return to his roots will heal a wounded heart and relieve the guilt of killing a friend. The sleepy and sultry city of Charleston is filled with echoes of the Old South: Genteel playboys, society debutantes, and quiet cobblestone streets. But as Reddick will soon discover, there's very real danger lurking beneath her charming veneer.
When a movie star's death shines a national spotlight on Charleston's underground cocaine trade, Reddick must go undercover to find the main supplier and shut him down. As a hurricane bears down on the port city and the DEA gets ready to spring its trap, Reddick must contend with more than he's ever been able to handle.
As an action story, LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH promises plenty of thrills, but goes a step further. Walker has achieved a kind of hero that can draw you in on his personality alone. Written in an easy-to-read, breezy style, LOWCOUNTRY PUNCH transports you into the sumptuous world of the Old South, as it straps you in for an action packed thrill ride.
Do you enjoy books that transport you to a different place or time? Does the setting matter in a story? Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a great (and lucky) Friday the 13th.

The dried bark is used in a tincture, known as "Cramp Bark," to alleviate painful menstrual cramps.
Cramp Bark. Snowball Tree. King's Crown. High Cranberry. Red Elder. Rose Elder. Water Elder. May Rose. Whitsun Rose. Dog Rowan Tree. Silver Bells. Whitsun Bosses. Gaitre Berries. Black Haw.
The bark, known as Cramp Bark, is employed in herbal medicine. It used formerly to be included in the United States Pharmacopoeia, but is now omitted though it has been introduced into the National Formulary in the form of a Fluid Extract, Compound Tincture and Compound Elixir, for use as a nerve sedative and anti-spasmodic in asthma and hysteria. In herbal practice in this country, its administration in decoction and infusion, as well as the fluid extract and compound tincture is recommended. It has been employed with benefit in all nervous complaints and debility and used with success in cramps and spasms of all kinds, in convulsions, fits and lockjaw, and also in palpitation, heart disease and rheumatism.
Cramp Bark's remarkable ability to relax muscular tension and cramps has been attributed to its natural content of Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium- Minerals well known for their beneficial effect on nerve and muscle functions. For effective premenstrual support, herbalists recommend using Cramp Bark at the onset of discomforting symptoms. To create your own custom herbal muscle relaxant formula, Cramp Bark can be combined with Wild Yam, Valerian, and False Unicorn.
It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant for its flowers and berries, growing best on moist, moderately alkaline soils, though tolerating most soil types well. Several cultivars have been selected, including 'Roseum' (synonym 'Sterile', 'Snowball'), in which all the flowers are only of the larger sterile type, with globular flower heads. There is some confusion, as there are a few other bushes, including other members of the Viburnum genus, also referred to as "snowball bush". The shrub is also cultivated as a component of hedgerows, cover plantings, and as part of other naturalistic plantings in its native regions. It is naturalised in North America, where it has been misleadingly re-named as "European Cranberrybush" (it is not a cranberry). The fruit is edible in small quantities, with a very acidic taste; it can be used to make jelly. It is however very mildly toxic, and may cause vomiting or diarrhea if eaten in large amounts (Plants for a Future). This can be reduced by drying the bark first.
Cramp bark is essentially nontoxic, although taking large quantities of the fruit or leaf (5 or more times the recommended dose) can cause diarrhea. Not recommended while taking blood thinning medications.

Biggie's crew took a hanging leap in to the spotlight with this Avenue anthem. "Get Revenue" went on to be Junior M.A.File.I.A.'s hottest hit, reaching No. 17 over the Billboard Incredibly hot a hundred and shifting in excess of 1,000,000 copies in the summer of '96.
The lyrical content and also other instrumental accompaniment of hip hop developed too. The early lyrical models inside the 1970, which tended being boasts and clichéd chants, ended up changed with metaphorical lyrics exploring a broader range of subjects. Likewise, the lyrics had been done around a lot more advanced, multi-layered instrumental accompaniment.

From 20 November 2018, the "LIGHTSHOW MAX 500" in Innsbruck's Imperial Palace will be heralding the forthcoming Year of Maximilian. The audiovisual 3D light projection/mapping show will be one of the highlights of the anniversary year and is, at the same time, one of the most spectacular light shows in Austria.
2019 is the 500th anniversary of the death of Emperor Maximilian I and, to mark the occasion, Tyrol will be hosting lots of activities celebrating the popularity of the Habsburgs, who were in turn very fond of the "land in the mountains". For Maximilian, Tyrol was the home he had not been able to find in any other royal estate, and so he chose Innsbruck as his city of residence. The buildings he commissioned here, such as the Golden Roof, the Imperial Palace and the Court Church, also known as the "Schwarzmanderkirche" (Black Men Church) with its empty tomb, still characterise the townscape and are a powerful demonstration of his great affection for Innsbruck. This makes the extraordinary historical ambience of the Imperial Palace, Maximilian's favourite residence, the perfect venue for the official launch of the Year of Maximilian. From 20 November 2018 to 20 January 2019, the "LIGHTSHOW MAX 500" mapping show created by the Viennese light art collective LICHTTAPETE will be shown several times every evening in the courtyard.
For the audiovisual light show, initiated by Innsbruck Tourismus, three sides of the Imperial Palace's inner courtyard will be transformed into a huge screen. The audience is taken on a brilliant and, at the same time, humorous journey through time, always returning to the present. Impressive effects in XXL format, based on historical events, convey the life of Maximilian in a very modern, entertaining and sometimes surprising way.
Across a "screen area" of 1,300 m2, seven high-performance projectors and a perfect sound system provide visitors with a very special kind of open-air experience. LICHTTAPETE, the Viennese light art collective, plays with the building's façades to create fantastic picture worlds which, combined with acoustic effects, guarantee an impressive total experience for the whole family. Karl Gostner, chairman of Innsbruck Tourismus, comments on the "main actor" of the 3D light projection: "Emperor Maximilian pioneered a new dimension in European culture and politics. Under him Innsbruck became the hub of the dynastic politics of the House of Habsburg and the place where many important artists chose to settle and work. 500 years ago Maximilian was already seen as the 'last' knight and 'first' European, but he was, above all, the medieval equivalent of the modern advertising executive. A major part of his history can be traced back to his perfect self-promotion." With this multimedia presentation, the Year of Maximilian will also bring sustainable tourism benefits, with plans for the 20-minute light projection to be extended into winter 2019/2020.
By the way, Innsbruck Tourismus was inspired by having a look over the border. The successful show "Soliman's Dream" has attracted thousands of visitors to Bressanone in the last three years. From 22 November 2018, NATALIE, the new light and music show, will be providing some magical moments. And good news! On presentation of a LIGHTSHOW MAX 500 ticket, you obtain a discount in Bressanone - and vice versa!
Online tickets: www.innsbruck-shop.com / Adults €10.00, children (aged 6 to 12) €3.00, free admission for children under 6 accompanied by an adult; group discounts for advance sales. With their ticket visitors can attend the new light show "Natalie" (by the same artists as Soliman's Dream) in Bressanone at a reduced price.


Cooper House care home in Bradford, West Yorkshire, for older people requiring residential and nursing care, played host to the Lord Mayor who has officially reopened its café.
The café, which is located on the Balmoral Unit, will be a sociable area for residents and their families to visit, and enjoy a drink and food, and will become the location of weekly Friday coffee mornings.
The newly refurbished café was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Lord Mayor of Bradford – Keighley Central councillor Zafar Ali.
Employees, families and residents came together to mark the occasion with a buffet and music.
Set in a residential area of Bradford, the home provides residents with a peaceful rural environment. There is an enclosed garden where residents can relax and socialise with each other and their families and friends.
The home was built in 2009. The café will be run by staff and volunteers and will serve a varied menu which aims to cater to all residents.
Cooper House is managed by Priory Adult Care, a division within the renowned Priory Group, the mental healthcare specialists.
Sarah Horner, Home Manager, said; "The café open day was a success.

According to my laptop battery I have 21 minutes left before... I like the fact that the battery indicator doesn't actually complete the thought. It simply says: Total battery power remaining 26%, total time remaining, oops now 18 minutes. As though the world will end when my laptop dies.
Still being short on time is a big issue for me. I'm trying very much to focus on the small amount of effort that gets the majority of results. I've heard of the 20/80 rule, that 20% of the people, get 80% of the pay. Or that 20% of your efforts get 80% of results. I know for a fact that this applies to my hair, though the ratio is probably more 5-10% effort gives 90% results. I can style my bangs and that makes the biggest difference, making sure they aren't sticking out at ridiculous angles. The rest of my hair takes forever to dry and I've had times that I did nothing to it where it looked better than when I spent a half-hour trying to control what happened.
I just wish all of my tasks were so easy to see where the big payoff comes from. I guess I'm think the baby carrots and cut celery and apples can probably boost my family's daily fruit and vegetable intake with only a tiny effort. But when it comes to learning?... How do you know which books, speakers, websites are going to return the biggest investment?
I guess you can't know ahead of time, but only can evaluate it periodically. I have been trying and I think now, upon reflection, that I'll step up the policy, of unsubscribing to newsletters and promotional notices. Processing email, just takes too darn long. I've also discovered that simply by hitting "This is Spam" button for Nortan AntiSpam in Microsoft Office is helping. I tried it in desperation as more and more emails were offensive and disgusting, not to mention a waste of my time and I will say that I'm now getting less trash.
11 minutes remaining... Oops after spellcheck, 9 minutes remaining.
I think I'll close with an affirmation. One good way to be efficient is to remain calm and I have found that simply stating, 'I can handle it. I'll find time. I can handle it,' can actually help me remain calm in nerve-wracking, stressful meltdown moments.
Gotta go, battery is threatening shutdown. I can handle it.

Q: How can I get the executable path of a 64-bit process given its PID from a 32-bit process? I'm working on a C++ Windows application that's 32-bit that for reasons outside of my control needs to stay 32-bit. This application needs to be able to get the full path of the executable of other runnings processes given a PID.
Ordinarily for a 64-bit application you can use OpenProcess() to get a handle to the process with a particular PID and then pass the handle it returns to GetModuleFileNameEx() to get its executable path. However, OpenProcess() will fail if you try to get a handle to a 64-bit process from a 32-bit process, so this method isn't available to me. (This is the accepted solution to this question but since neither it nor any of its other answers address the problem with accessing 64-bit processes from a 32-bit process it doesn't answer my question.)
Is there any way to do this?

A: There are already a few ways mentioned in the comments. Probably the best and simplest way would be to open the process with PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION and call QueryFullProcessImageName on it, as Remy Lebeau and RbMm wrote.
Still, let me show another way: You could leverage WMI. Note that this is by far not the best option (as it is very "expensive" behind the scenes) but in case you can't use other options for some reason, it may be helpful to know nonetheless.
The WMI class Win32_Process has a field ExecutablePath which contains the information you seek. You should be able to read it from a 32-bit process as well.
Here is a description how to read data from WMI using C++.
Example in PowerShell:
PS Z:\> Get-WmiObject -Query 'Select ExecutablePath From Win32_Process Where ProcessId = 6056'

__GENUS          : 2
__CLASS          : Win32_Process
__SUPERCLASS     :
__DYNASTY        :
__RELPATH        :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 1
__DERIVATION     : {}
__SERVER         :
__NAMESPACE      :
__PATH           :
ExecutablePath   : C:\Program Files (x86)\Moo0\AlwaysOnTop 1.24\WindowMenuPlus64.exe
PSComputerName   :

A: I came onto this question looking for a way to do this from powershell.  The Get-WmiObject approach failed in the same way for me as (Get-Process).Path, which is that while the list of processes (and their PIDs and process names) can be retrieved, the module information (including path) cannot be retrieved when the bit-ness of the process doesn't match the shell.
The comments on the question helped me, especially @RemyLebeau, and I came up with the following.  I know the question was originally c++, but maybe this will be helpful to someone.  It's the same WinAPI calls, loaded into an inline c# scope in powershell.
$pinvoke = Add-Type -PassThru -Name pinvoke -MemberDefinition @'
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
    private static extern bool CloseHandle(
        IntPtr hObject);

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    private static extern IntPtr OpenProcess(
        uint processAccess,
        bool bInheritHandle,
        int processId);

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
    private static extern bool QueryFullProcessImageName(
        IntPtr hProcess,
        int dwFlags,
        System.Text.StringBuilder lpExeName,
        ref int lpdwSize);
    private const int QueryLimitedInformation = 0x00001000;

    public static string GetProcessPath(int pid)
    {
        var size = 1024;
        var sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder(size);
        var handle = OpenProcess(QueryLimitedInformation, false, pid);
        if (handle == IntPtr.Zero) return null;
        var success = QueryFullProcessImageName(handle, 0, sb, ref size);
        CloseHandle(handle);
        if (!success) return null;
        return sb.ToString();
    }
'@

And then you can get the path of a 32 or 64 bit process by
$pinvoke::GetProcessPath($pid)

Local Norwalk Band 'Watch for Horses' Gallops to #1 Hit on KROQ-FM

By Peter Parker
Note: HMG-CN exclusively interviewed the up and coming Norwalk band named "Watch for Horses" about their recent milestone, their likes, what motivates them and how they plan to dominate the music world.
"Watch for Horses" is on a mission and on the rise as one of the hottest musical acts on radio.
The Norwalk based band has skyrocketed to the number one top hit for the past two weeks on the legendary radio rock station KROQ-FM.
Hews Media Group-Community Newspaper landed an exclusive interview with the hot musicians who cut their teeth in music right here in Southeast Los Angeles County.
In fact, these Norwalk boys always give a heartfelt performance on stage while putting their hearts & souls out there for the music world to find and embrace.
Members of the band were born and raised in Norwalk and consist of Lead Vocalist Ralph Tafoya; Guitarist Julio Quijano; Guitarist Jeremiah Acosta; Bass Guitarist Joshua Borja and Drummer Julian Chavez.
Forming a group of their own in early 2011, the five locals who call Norwalk their home base, has already established a sharp early resume.
The band has performed at Chain Reaction, House of Blues at Downtown Disney, The Legendary Roxy in Hollywood, the Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen, Detroit Bar and The Troubadour in West Hollywood.
Certain to take the breath away of fans, this band will surprise you with their energetic and engaging performances. Performance ranging from backyards to professional venues has helped them establish a slot for them in the Los Angeles music scene.
"It's kind of a shock that we were on the radio. We have the smallest fan base compared to other bands and we went from nowhere to number one on KROQ", said Ralph the lead vocalist.
The band feels like they're official. The radio has given them that buzz they've been waiting for.
The name of the band was established in a local Wal-Mart in the agriculture center. One the band member's sister saw a sign that said "Watch for Hoses" and it was then transformed into "Watch for Horses". The band has continued using that name to this day.
"We were desperate for a name and thought about Ghostmouth and Hypersnail but we settled on Watch for Horses,"commented Borja, the bass guitar player.
The members of the band developed their musical passion while attending John Glenn High School located on Shoemaker Avenue in Norwalk.
The song that had the biggest impact on the band and fans everywhere is "Charismatic," which was debuted at their OC concert at the House of Blues.
Borja commented, "The song has lyrically had a big impact on everyone. Jay wrote the song about Ralph's cousin who passed away a year ago. It happened out of nowhere. The song starts dark/slow and turns into this happy song. It has the most changes, a bass solo, and a little bit of everything."
The band started back on Feb. 23, 2011 when Jay proposed the idea to play with Junior.
Quickly the band started practicing in their garage and at that time was comprised of three band members Ralph, Jay, Jr. Then in April of that year, they introduced Julian as their drummer and by May 2011, the group was playing their first private show that was performed in the lead vocalist's backyard.
In the summer of 2011, Borja was initiated into the band as the lead bass guitarist and from them on the band was complete. Watch for Horses performed their first show in August 2011 at "Chain Reaction" in Anaheim.
"We were really nervous and really confident but we were ready to play", commented Ralph Tafoya the lead vocalist.
"It was different not making eye contact so we looked at the ceiling half the time. We have made a big turnaround now and I stare at people directly into their eyes. I actually make people uncomfortable now."
The genre of the band is to be determined.
"When people ask I just say rock. We considered "indie" but it was too commonly used. We wanted to be a part of something different. Now that we have been on KROQ we would like to consider ourselves Alternative Rock," commented Joshua Borja the lead bass guitarist.
Bands that have influenced Watch For Horses are The Strokes, The Killers and Two Door Cinema Club.
The band is also talking about big changes that are coming.
The band has two upcoming shows in June and July. June 14th KROQ will be hosting their performance at the Slidebar Rock-N-Roll Kitchen. July 12 KROQ will be hosting their performance at the Viper Room.
Around July or August they plan to lock themselves in the studio and work on new material. They are looking to make some big changes.
"We want to give our fans a big thank you for getting us on KROQ, it's very surreal. We have never had a hard time getting our fans to come to our shows but it still shocks us that we have come this far", commented Ralph Tafoya, the lead vocalist.
The band recently hit its 1000th fan recently which is much smaller compared to other bands who have reached their 20,000th fan.
The band currently has an EP Album called "Evil Kid".
"The hardest part about being in a band is finding names for the albums and songs. We usually have the song ready but we don't have a name for it. That's the nice thing about music it never runs out", commented Ralph Tafoya.
Look for their upcoming performance in this year's Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 18 Warped Tour 2014. Watch For Horses currently holds an 80.3% Buzz Rating. Buzz Ratings give audiences a real time snap shot of each band's overall exposure level. Taking into account both viral reach and real world factors that produce a rating percentage system giving you an accurate reading on each band's relevance within the industry.


We are a church of Bible believing Christians, divided up into small groups around the world. We believe in the biblical pattern of baptism by full submersion and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit with the sign of speaking in tongues as shown in the Bible in Acts 2:38.
You've found a group of us nestled in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York! Our group is part of a larger international organization with headquarters in Australia and Scotland. Our entire assembly follows the same pattern of teaching biblical training. We have house meetings just like the apostles did in Jesus' time, following the strict patterns set in the Gospels and the letters of the Apostles. We normally meet in or around New Paltz, New York for Wednesday and Sunday meetings or spreading the word. Our meetings consist of singing choruses and hymns, and sharing testimonies and revelations about God's Word. These meetings are centered on the practical teaching of the Bible. We also meet for occasional prayer meetings.
This is a very closely connected international assembly, often sharing talks and teaching from other areas around the world. We have large area meetings throughout the year where we can visit the brethren in other countries. These meetings are in the summer, spring and winter during public school vacation times. As members of the New York assembly, the closest assembly group to us is located in Ontario, Canada. We get together multiple times throughout the year either in Canada or the US.
Although each of us has a full work week, we often like to get together to hike, swim, explore this beautiful state, go on camping trips, and etc. On occasional weekends we get together to help each other with home projects and hobbies. Being a Christian is not just about going to church on Sunday in a religious way, it is rather about gaining a better relationship with Jesus Christ.
If you find yourself in the New York Metro area, Hudson Valley area, or if you live in the tri-state region, give us a shout. We are always there for someone who is interested in gaining a better knowledge of Christ.

Q: Adding labels to groups in d3 force layout Is there a way to add labels to the groups for the d3-cola force layout example here
I have added tooltips:
var group = svg.selectAll(".group")
    .data(groups)
    .enter().append("rect")
    .classed("group", true)
    .attr("rx",20)
    .attr("ry",20)
    .style("fill", function (d) { return color(d.id); })
    .call(cola.drag);

group.append("title")
    .text(function (d) { return d.id; });

I tried adding this part:
var groupText = svg.selectAll(".group")
    .append("text")
    .attr("class", "link-label")
    .attr("font-family", "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif")
    .attr("fill", "Black")
    .style("font", "normal 9px Arial")
    .attr("dy", ".35em")
    .attr("text-anchor", "middle")
    .text(function(d) {
      return (d.id);
    });

And then in the tick function:
groupText
    .attr("x", function(d) {
        return ((d.bounds.x + d.bounds.width())/2);
    })
    .attr("y", function(d) {
        return ((d.bounds.y + d.bounds.height())/2);
    });

But it doesn't show up.

The holiday season is kicking off later this month, and travel plans are coming together for millions of Americans and Angelenos alike. Travel during the holidays can be a nightmarish and expensive ordeal. Luckily, we've compiled a list of essential holiday travel hacks to make visiting friends and family a breeze.
Cheap airline flights can be tough to find any time of the year, but the holiday season is particularly difficult for travelers. Make sure to look for tickets on more than one search engine, such as Skyscanner, Momondo and AirFare Watchdog, as all these often catch error fares and short-term sales. Also make sure to search from a private browser or incognito tab. Some airlines will slip cookies into your web searches, and manipulate flight prices based on what you've already seen.
If you're flying home for the holidays, don't make the mistake of traveling with any gifts for the folks. Instead, have them mailed if you already have the item, or set up Amazon to deliver once you arrive. You may run the risk of having presents prematurely opened, but the alternative is worse. You'll want to pack light for holiday travel, and lugging presents to the airport could result in extra baggage fees.
You might be thinking it's smarter to set out on the road instead of to the airport, but that's not always the case. Holiday traffic can often turn freeways into virtual parking lots, particularly if you leave immediately after work or on the weekend. You'll want to keep an eye on Google Maps and Waze alike for real-time traffic information, and also buy any toll road passes you might need. Make sure to leave at the best time to get out of the city, too. Early morning or late night is usually best for that.
While you're at it, take your car to the mechanic before a long drive to your holiday hangout. A tune-up or oil change might bite into your travel budget, but it's guaranteed to be cheaper than a long-distance tow during peak travel season. Few things ruin a vacation quite like finally making it out of the city and seeing your "Check Engine" light come on. To make sure you have all your bases covered, pick up an American Automobile Association membership at least a week before you leave, so you can claim up to 200 free miles of tow in a worst-case scenario.
No matter which way you travel, make sure not to let stress get the better of you. That's not just for your sake, either. Holiday season can be the most stressful time of the year for airline employees and other members of the travel industry. A good attitude can make someone's day or prevent them from giving you less-than-stellar service.

Redwood City calls for collaborative encampment solutions
Following a weekend encampment fire on Caltrans land in Redwood City, city officials are calling on agency representatives to meet this week with hopes of developing solutions for protecting the health and safety of residents.
February 15, 2022, The Daily Journal
"We are calling on Caltrans to come to the table this week with our city and our legislative representatives to develop an immediate plan to protect our community from the health and safety issues created by encampments on their land," Mayor Giselle Hale said in a press release Monday.
Hale's call for support comes after a fire broke out at an encampment Sunday, Feb. 13, resulting in no injuries but property damage to a fence of a multifamily residence, two cars, tents, mattresses and other personal property. An investigation deemed the cause of the fire undetermined, according to a press release from the city. Multiple encampments have popped up across the city which is home to the highest number of unhoused residents in the county according to a 2019 single day count. Many of those encampments are on California Department of Transportation land, prompting officials to meet with agency representatives to develop solutions over the past few months, according to the release.
In response to Hale's request to meet with Caltrans leadership, which she also posted on her Twitter account, state Sen. Josh Becker, D-San Mateo, told her he intends on discussing the incident when he meets with Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin this Thursday on an unrelated matter.
A representative from Caltrans did not immediately respond to request for comment on the matter.
In the meantime, the city has coordinated with civilian homeless outreach workers to conduct regular visits of the encampment and to provide resources to those who need it in the area. A number of individuals and organizations have conducted outreach in the area including LifeMoves, Downtown Streets Team and the city's Mental health clinician, Patricia Baker, according to the release.
"We are grateful to our legislators for their collaboration and responsiveness," Hale said in the press release. "Thankfully, no injuries were sustained as a result of the most recent encampment fire but we need immediate action to prevent future incidents."

Kathy was a good friend and avid supporter of The View From Fez. When she published her book, Rick's Cafe: Bringing the Film Legend to Life in Casablanca, she asked Suzanna Clarke to write the forward. She last visited us in Fez about a month ago, and sat on our terrace sharing her plans. News of her death came as a huge shock, as she appeared to be in very good health and was excited about her new venture - turning the building next to Rick's Cafe into a boutique hotel.
Kriger, born and raised near Portland, Oregon, founded her own travel agency and then traveled the world before settling in Morocco.
Kathy Kriger took an old courtyard-style mansion built in 1930, located in the ancient medina of Casablanca and set about renovating with the help of renowned interior designer, the late Bill Willis.
The project took two years to complete and opened on March 1, 2004 to rave reviews. Sceptics who thought it might have been a Disney-style kitsch version of Rick's Cafe could not have been more wrong.
A longtime fan of the 1942 classic "Casablanca" from when she first saw it in 1974, Kriger had the movie on continual loop in the upstairs bar of Rick's Cafe. Most nights she could be found standing at the corner of the bar, earning her the nickname "Madame Rick." She used to instruct waiters to refill her wine glass only with water until 11 p.m., after which she allowed herself a glass of Moroccan Val D'Argan Blanc.
Kriger's goal was to make Rick's Cafe Casablanca, "everything it was in the movie, and then some." She also sought to prove that an American woman operating alone in a Muslim society can run a successful business.
As well, Kriger, wanted to convey a powerful message. After the considerable backlash against Muslims in America following the 9/11 attacks, she aimed to create a place of tolerance and unity. When The View From Fez last went to dinner there two weeks ago, Rick's Cafe was filled with tourists from all over the world and also locals, all throughly enjoying the wonderful food, excellent service and delightful ambience. Kathy Kriger had fully succeeded.
The cause of Kriger's unexpected death has not been released.
Vale Kathy Kriger. You will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.
It breaks my heart that Kathy has died. She was such a trailblazer. I talked with a Casablanca friend who had lunch with her just a few days before her death and said she was in great spirits and seemed in great health. I was looking forward to seeing her while in Morocco next month. She is an icon and will be sorely missed.

Getting our images looking perfect is a huge priority at Zoetrope, and to help with this we developed a small utility providing a web interface to DSLR cameras. One issue we have is that using autofocus on our products is sometimes difficult - the small screens on cameras make it difficult to see clearly and since both the product and our camera are fixed, we need to be able to move the focus point. While this is possible on Canon DSLRs, the granularity is not always high enough for our application.
Interfacing with DSLRs is fairly simple these days - the libgphoto2 library supports a huge range of cameras and standardises the protocol for both Nikon and Canon cameras. Most of our stack is written in Python and this app is no exception. RTIAcquire contains a nice set of python bindings for libgphoto2, so that's what we used here. Getting an image from a camera is very easy: Pretty simple right? So creating an mjpeg stream that we can view in the browser shouldn't be too tough. We used a simple mjpeg python example as a base: That gives a nice (relatively low latency) view from the camera which we can easily incorporate into our existing web apps.
What we need now is a way to change the focus point of the camera programmatically. While this is physically possible on the camera, there's no way to do it through libgphoto2. The RTLAcquire library doesn't actually include any focus functionality however libgphoto2 supports a method of manually driving the focus motor. On Canon cameras, the 'manualfocusdrive' parameter allows you to drive the focus to a relative position.
This function can be repeatedly called with the corresponding list index for the desired focus point. There doesn't seem to be any way to check if motor has completed an operation, so it's prudent to add a delay between calls.
Normally, autofocus on a DSLR is performed using phase detection sensors. These sensors cannot be used in liveview mode since the mirror is up. Contrast based autofocus is the standard method of focusing without phase detection - this is how smartphone cameras focus. Although slower, it does have one advantage in that the focus point can be precisely defined. We used a simple function to return a number based on the contrast of an image region (the focus point). This gives us an estimate of how well focused that section of the image is.
We will likely keep working on this over time and hope to release it back to the community. The current algorithm for focusing is not all that robust but will be improved soon. We'd also like to add a websockets interface allowing focus points to be changed and expose more of the camera's functionality. We'll update you when we can.

Ekonometria – nauka pomocnicza w ramach ekonomii, wykorzystująca narzędzia matematyki, statystyki oraz informatyki do badania ilościowych związków zachodzących między zjawiskami i zmiennymi ekonomicznymi. Jest zbiorem metod opracowanych najczęściej poza ekonomią, ale wykorzystywanych na jej polu.

Celem ekonometrii jest badawcza analiza teorii ekonomicznych, przewidywanie procesów ekonomicznych oraz dostarczanie przesłanek służących sterowaniu tymi procesami. Podstawowym narzędziem służącym tym celom jest model ekonometryczny.

Ekonometria jest często mylona ze statystyką. Wiele metod statystycznych ekonometrycy uważają za metody ekonometryczne i czasem stosują do nich własne nazewnictwo. Modele ekonometryczne są modelami matematyczno-statystycznymi zastosowanymi w ekonomii. W klasyfikacji nauki polskiej KBN nie istniał dział "statystyka" w sensie metod statystycznych możliwych do użycia w różnych naukach, metody statystyczne można było rozwijać tylko w ramach ekonometrii. Rozgraniczyć należy również ekonometrię od ekonomii matematycznej (analiza ekonomiczna wykorzystująca matematykę).

Historia ekonometrii
Metody sformalizowane towarzyszyły ekonomii od samego jej początku. Jednakże wraz ze wzrostem stopnia skomplikowania procesów gospodarczych narastało zapotrzebowanie na zobiektywizowanie badań oraz wnioskowania w tej dziedzinie. Zaczęto więc stosować szerzej dorobek matematyki i statystyki do wyjaśniania zjawisk ekonomicznych.

Termin ekonometria został po raz pierwszy użyty przez Pawła Ciompę w pracy pt "Zarys ekonometryi i teorya buchalteryi", wydanej we Lwowie w 1910 r. Jednakże współczesna ekonometria rozwinęła się dopiero w latach 30. XX w. Za ojców ekonometrii uważa się pierwszych laureatów Nagrody im. Alfreda Nobla w dziedzinie ekonomii: Ragnara Frischa oraz Jana Tinbergena, a także amerykańskiego ekonomistę Henry'ego Ludwella Moore'a.

Nurty współczesnej ekonometrii
Współczesna ekonometria jest szeroką dyscypliną w ramach nauk ekonomicznych. Do najpopularniejszych odmian ekonometrii należy zaliczyć:

 Ekonometrię teoretyczną
 Ekonometrię stosowaną (prognozowania, symulacje, modelowanie formalne)
 Ekonometrię przestrzenną
 Ekonofizykę

Modele ekonometryczne
1. Podział ze względu na liczbę zmiennych objaśniających
 modele z jedną zmienną objaśniającą
 modele z wieloma zmiennymi objaśniającymi
2. Podział ze względu na liczbę zmiennych objaśnianych
 modele z jedną zmienną objaśnianą (modele jednorównaniowe)
 modele z wieloma zmiennymi objaśnianymi (modele wielorównaniowe)
3. Podział ze względu na interpretację zmiennych objaśniajacych
 modele przyczynowo-skutkowe, w których wszystkie zmienne objaśniające mogą być traktowane jako przyczyny kształtowania się zmiennej objaśnianej (przykładowo model zależności wielkości kosztów od wielkości produkcji)
 modele symptomatyczne, w których brak bezpośrednich relacji przyczyna-skutek, ale występują zmienne będące symptomami pewnych trudnych do obserwacji lub nieobserwowalnych zjawisk, będących przyczynami zmiennej objaśnianej
 modele tendencji rozwojowej, czyli tzw. trendy, w których jedyną zmienną objaśniającą jest zmienna czasowa (oznaczana zazwyczaj przez t)
 autoregresyjne, w których pośród zmiennych objaśniających możemy wyróżnić zmienną objaśnianą z przeszłości
4. Podział ze względu na postać analityczną
 modele liniowe (gdy zależność między zmienną objaśnianą a zmiennymi objaśniającymi jest liniowa)
 modele nieliniowe (gdy zależność przyjmuje formę nieliniową, przykładowo hiperboli, paraboli itp.)
5. Podział ze względu na uwzględnienie czynnika czasu
 Statyczny system informacji przestrzennej – przedstawia (zwykle stałą, to jest niezależną od czasu) zależność pomiędzy sygnałem na wejściu i wyjściu układu. Rozpatrywanie charakterystyk czasowych w kontekście układu statycznego nie ma sensu, gdyż nic nie mówią one o układzie, w którym nie ma żadnych zmiennych stanu.
 Dynamiczny system informacji przestrzennej – jest to rodzaj systemu informacji przestrzennej, w którym oprócz położenia obiektu uwzględniono czas jego powstania. Pozwala to na przeglądanie zmian w czasie na mapach generowanych przez system. (System informacji przestrzennej – jest to system pozyskiwania, przetwarzania i udostępniania danych, w których zawarte są informacje przestrzenne oraz towarzyszące im informacje opisowe o obiektach wyróżnionych w części przestrzeni, objętej funkcjonowaniem systemu.)

Oyster Bah
American / Seafood / Raw Bar in Lincoln Park

Perfect For: Date Night First/Early in the Game Dates
It may have taken you a minute to realize that "Bah" is the phonetic spelling of the New England pronunciation of "bar," but what do you expect from the Midwest trying to do East Coast seafood?
Oyster Bah is the casual seafood shack alternative to the more formal Shaw's Crab House, and as the name would indicate, the place feels like a Chicago copy of a New England seafood shack.
Your experience kind of goes like this: You walk in and feel like you're in coastal New England, thanks to the fish and fishing pictures on the wall. The vibe is comfortable and charming, where we imagine Ivy League kids like to hang out when they're not inventing Facebook.
As for the food? You order a few oysters, and they're delicious. So far, you're thriving. By the time the rest of your meal rolls in, you've had a few drinks, probably wine or a light beer, and after a few drinks, nothing tastes bad. But you're definitely regretting your decision to share plates, and you're starting to get anxious there won't be enough food. Then the check comes. It's only now, in retrospect, that you realize Oyster Bah can be hit or miss. Yes, you had fun and were relaxed. Yes, dishes like the red snapper and New England stuffies are great. But not everything else was as good, and that was even more noticeable once the prices added up.
There are certainly far worse things than having a fun, casual evening and paying a little too much for it, especially when excellent oysters are involved. So use Oyster Bah for a first date or a casual group dinner — when the people are more important than the food.
Food Rundown
These definitely do not disappoint. We suggest getting a mix of both coasts, and planning the rest of your meal from there.
Tuna Poke
Avocado, soy ginger, and sesame. It's tuna poke. It's fine.
Something about peppery arugula and parmesan cheese never gets old. It's a nice break from all the seafood.
Little Stuffies
The name of the dish makes these sound like a tiny tasting item. Little did we know these are made with quahog, which is a giant clam. They're stuffed with a ton of chopped clams, chorizo, and a few breadcrumbs. These are awesome, and will be the pinnacle of your meal. Consider two orders.
Steamed Maine Mussels
There's nothing we love more than mussels, but there are a lot of mussels we love more than these. They're tiny and the sauce is decent, making this dish far more work than it was worth.
Mixed with a mayo sauce. It's a safe bet if you want to order something for yourself.
The presentation of this dish is impressive. It comes with the head on, so it looks like you're getting a whole fish. But you're not—the filet on the back is removed. We don't usually like successful trickery, but $28 for this fish is still a good order. The spicy Thai chili sauce makes it all worth it.
We wouldn't order this again. It was almost $8, and despite boasting a creole lobster sauce, it's mostly a flavorless bowl of rice.
Solid roasted carrots, but, they're still carrots. Keep things seafood heavy unless you're dying for a veggie.

Auction For Inaugural Women's IPL Likely To Be Held In February
The T20 franchise competition for women, on which the BCCI is working, is expected to be named the Women's T20 League and five clubs for which applications have been solicited would be formed through a player auction in February. The Women's T20 League will be similar to Indian Premier League. The deadline for Indian players to register for the auction is January 26 till 5 pm IST, as per ESPNcricinfo.
The Women's T20 Challenge, which began as a two-team one-off game in 2018 before expanding to a three-team exhibition tournament in 2019 and two further editions in 2020 and 2022, will be replaced by this competition.
The basic price for capped Indian players is set at INR 30 lakh, INR 40 lakh, and INR 50 lakh in the document titled 'Guidance note for Indian players' exchanged by the board with the Indian players, as per ESPNcricinfo.
The base price for uncapped players has been capped at INR 10 lakh and INR 20 lakh. Players should register for the Women's T20 League directly with their state associations, rather than through agents or managers.
Sourav Ganguly, former BCCI president, had stated in February last year that the Women's IPL would begin in 2023.
The BCCI settled on a March timeframe in August. As a result, the BCCI moved the women's domestic calendar, which typically runs from November to April, forward to accommodate the franchise competition.
Since the formal announcement about women's T20 league, a number of men's IPL clubs have been sending out talent scouts to discover players they could eventually sign for the women's tournament if they are awarded the rights to own a franchise. Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Punjab Kings are all believed to be interested in acquiring a team for the women's league.
Since India finished second in the ODI World Cup in 2017, there has been a growing demand for the Women's IPL to begin. It gathered pace when they reached the finals of the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2020 until Covid-19 restrictions forced suspension of women's cricket and other competitive sports events.
BCCI invited bids last month for media rights for the planned five-team tournament from 2023 to 2027.
