Men's Health Week is taking place this month between the 15th and 21st of June. With hearing impairment being the second-highest ranked disability for men in Australia it is important that hearing health is not overlooked.
Men are traditionally at higher risk of hearing loss due to their type of workplaces. Construction workers and those within the manufacturing, mining and defence industries are most affected. Living with hearing loss is hard. Poor hearing affects a person's quality of life and can lead to social isolation as it becomes harder to communicate with partners, children and work colleagues. It's important that men don't ignore the signs of hearing loss because early intervention is essential for effective treatment.
Some men may feel uncomfortable about having their hearing checked due to the social stigma associated with hearing loss but this shouldn't be the case. It's extremely common in Australia with 3.55 million people of all ages experiencing some form of hearing loss. Around 37% of these cases are caused by exposure to excessive noise. It only takes 15 minutes using a hand held drill or 48 minutes using a lawn mower to reach the safe daily noise limit. Don't be shy, if you feel you may be experiencing symptoms of hearing loss or want to discuss ways to protect your hearing speak to an audiometrist.
Hearing loss affects 1 in 6 Australian's including young men, yet when men think of a having a medical check up, they often overlook their hearing health. We would like to see men of all ages taking action to protect their hearing health this Men's Health Week. Remember early intervention is the best way to combat hearing loss! If you'd like to take a positive step towards protecting your hearing health click here to book a free hearing test in clinic with one of our experienced audiometrists.

Go Lamborghini Go	Low 12″
Debut EP from this unfortunately named Berlin post-punk sextet. Apparently, the six tracks that make up Low were totally improvised, with only the vocals being written and added later. It certainly gives the EP a loose, jammy vibe. But the extended grooves the band locks into also serve as a nice reminder of the role funk has always played in post-punk. In fact, this record kind of feels like a survey of post-punk. "Repetition of High" sounds like a mix of early GANG OF FOUR and Remain in Light-era TALKING HEADS, "Truce" is an atmospheric goth-rock number that sounds an awful lot like the CURE, and "I'm Exhausted" has the same type of bass-driven melody you'd find on a JOY DIVISION track. It's all very easy to listen to (aside from the minute-plus blast of noise that makes up "Cheap") and really makes you wonder what they'd cook up were they to actually sit down and write some songs. Definitely worth a listen, especially if you're a fan of the post-punky garage of EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING or the garage-y post-punk of INSTITUTE.

Microbrewery Planned in Carriage Works Building in Downtown Janesville
james posted on August 14, 2015 08:27
(Janesville, WI) By Neil Johnson, Gazette
A Janesville microbrewery has landed a home downtown for brewing, tapping and selling beer that three local craft brewers say will fly under the name Rock County Brewing.
"We wanted it to be simple. No big gimmicks, no crazy, extreme names or product labels. The beer, and the location will do the talking. We'll teach people that like big-name, light beer that beer made with hops that has a little flavor and color isn't a bad thing," said Janesville resident Andy Walker, one of the brewery's partners and brewers.
Walker along with Janesville resident John Rocco, who owns Janesville home-brewing retailer Farmhouse Brewing Supply, and Rockton, Illinois, resident Ed Sundstedt, an employee at Rocco's store, signed a lease this week at the former Carriage Works building at the northeast corner of Milwaukee Street and Parker Drive in downtown Janesville.
The partners will have a three-barrel microbrewery and tasting room in the Carriage Works' northeast end along the east side of North Parker Drive.
The space is a blank slate of off-white brick walls, high wood-and-steel beam ceilings and concrete floors. It needs full-scale electrical and water service as part of a lease and renovation deal. The three brewing partners, who are self-funding all the brewing equipment necessary, said they wouldn't discuss full details of the lease.
Janesville brothers Shawn and Shannon Kennedy bought the three-story Carriage Works building earlier this year. The building, parts of which were built in the 1880s, now houses law offices and a yoga studio.
The Kennedy brothers plan within months to renovate the building's spacious third floor to relocate their dozens of employees and corporate headquarters of SASid, a Janesville-based tech company they own.
The Rock County Brewing partners say they'll submit plans within weeks for city review to wall off the back portion for fermenting and brewing operations and rework the storefront area as a relaxed, tavern-like tasting room where customers can try fresh-brewed beer on tap and buy it for carryout in large, gallon-sized glass growlers.
Rocco said this week it'll be a four- to six-month process to get federal and state approval to run the microbrewery, and the brewery also needs approval of site and operating plans from the city's plan commission and the city council.
If all goes well, Rocco said this week, Rock County Brewing could be producing and selling beer for walk-in customers and under distribution deals with a small number of downtown taverns by January or February.
The council in May approved key zoning changes to allow microbreweries and brewpubs to operate in the city's downtown business district, setting limits for gallons of beer produced based on state law.
Rock County Brewing for months has been trying to find a place to house a brewery, which would start on a small, local scale with 260 to 300 barrels of annual production.
The microbrewery wouldn't run as a restaurant or brewpub but instead would have a tasting room set up with tables and a tap that would pull fresh-brewed beer straight from the tanks and through a cooler.
Rock County Brewing plans to have anywhere from six to 10 varieties of beer on tap, with varieties ranging from light-colored ales to a spicy Saison, a Belgian-style farmhouse ale.
The brewers, who each have between 10 and 15 years experience brewing craft beer, said they want to brew a slew of varieties each month. Rocco said he and his partners don't have a flagship variety they'd try to market under Rock County Brewing.
"We all like a lot of styles and varieties. We've all got a lot of different ideas and tastes and have to see what people will like," he said.
Sundstedt plans to man Rock County Brewing full-time, but he said hours of the brewery's tasting room will be more limited to start, probably from 3 to 9 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.
Brewing partner Andy Walker also is a major partner in Foremost Media, another Janesville tech company that plans to relocate its offices to a former tobacco warehouse just west of downtown under a lease deal.
He said the Carriage Works building size, its heavy concrete floor and how it's situated in the larger building works well for a microbrewery. While they were negotiating lease deals, he said, it emerged among several properties downtown as the best, most readily available fit.
The Kennedys have said they'd like to bring a restaurant into the Carriage Works next to the microbrewery that could market Rock County Brewing beer and share an open space out back that could become a courtyard.
Barry Badertscher, a local real estate broker, runs his office out of the Carriage Works. Badertscher helped Kennedys reach a deal on the Carriage Works this year, and then brokered a lease deal with Rock County Brewing.
He calls the microbrewery a "progressive" step as the downtown enters a riverfront revitalization that would in part revamp the area as a hub for adult entertainment.
"This is how I think re-development will happen here. It'll be engineered one step at a time. You can build a distinctive flavor and a destination for people," Badertscher said.
A trickier philosophical hurdle, Badertscher said, is to erase a local notion he believes is pervasive, yet false: that only a small number of Janesville residents are open to trying something new, such as a downtown microbrewery.
Badertscher pointed out several sushi shops and Japanese-style Hibachi restaurants that have opened and taken root along Milton Avenue. He said they're not supported mainly by trend seekers and foodies but rather by customers whose tastes are casual.
"I don't believe there's a lack of open-minded people in Janesville who'll embrace something new and different," Badertscher said. "I think there's just a shortage of people who want to be open-minded that we've got open-mindedness here."

Citations breakout group at Markdown for Science workshop

Citations should be specified as citation keys (e.g. (???). Pandoc and Multimarkdown both support human-readable formatting for this, but use different formatting.

We identified two use cases:

fragment of a scientific document

complete document, e.g. manuscript for paper

Reference information should be stored in an external bibtex file, which could be referenced by a link or be in the same folder as the markdown file, specified in the metadata.

Citation styles should be processed using Citeproc and the Citation Style Language. Citation style can optionally be specified in the metadata.

Questions from the audience :)

Stian: Is there any good online collaborative citation manager that supports citekeys (defining/seeing)?

Citation discussion at Gobbledygook Blog

A blog post, and a very good discussion clarified many issues around citations.

Rethink current practices

Most of the things we currently with citations come from a time when journal articles were printed on paper. Examples include citation styles and reference lists. Moving forward we should rethink these practices:

Citation styles should not be the concern of the author. There is no place for citation styles, or citation formatted with a particular citation style in a markdown document.

Reference lists often don't make sense for digital documents. What we rather need are good inline links, plus references in a computer-readable format (e.g. bibtex). One challenge with reference lists is the synchronization between inline citations and the reference list.

Separate files for references create unnecessary overhead and can lead to vendor lock-in. Ideally all the required information should be stored in the markdown document. We should rather export the references from the markdown file to bibtex when transforming to HTML or other output formats (see above).

Suggested approach

Citations are links. Thinking of citations as links makes the workflow much easier.

Use reference-style links for documents with many citations. This makes it easier to manage the citations, e.g. when the same paper is cited more than once.

You can use citation keys with reference-style links, and this makes it easy to integrate with reference managers (Papers for example supports [#key][]).

Use the "title" attribute with reference-style links, using the citation title. DOIs (and often also weblinks) are not human-readable. Using the title makes citations easier to remember and prevents transcription errors (i.e. typos in DOIs or URLs):

[#Beyer2013]: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1093/annonc/mds579 "Maintaining success, reducing treatment burden,
focusing on survivorship: highlights from the third European consensus conference on diagnosis and
treatment of germ-cell cancer."

The transformation from markdown into a presentation format (e.g. HTML or PDF) should include link checking (see proof of concept tools below).

We should support internal links to tables and figures, using anchors.

Questions

How do we handle citations that can't be linked to digital resources? Two ideas are footnotes and placeholder hyperlinks (and  tag without href, new in HTML5).

Todo

Proof of concept tool that transform links in markdown documents into references, e.g. by pulling information from CrossRef or DataCite.

Proof of concept tool to display reference information on hover in HTML documents created from markdown.

Proof of concept tool that extracts all links from a markdown document and generates both a bibliography and bibtex file.

Best practices how citation information can be stored in HTML link. Probably involves data- attributes.

Citation Styles

Reference Manager support for workflow above

Papers. Allows copy/paste of citekey in different formats (including MMD, Pandoc)

Mendeley. Copy/paste of citekey in LaTeX format. Allows custom citekeys. Can automatically sync with bibtex file.

Zotero. ?

Endnote. ?

One year ahead
The Way I See Things
By JDO
Another day, another Great Northern Diver - but this time in lovely light. Getting up to the first nice day in what felt like weeks, I zoomed off to Lechlade in search of the second of the two GNDs currently resting and feeding up in the Cotswold Water park - and in the process of tracking it down, on a lake with quite limited access, found a number of other nice things as well: a male Goldeneye, and some Pochards and Gadwalls.
The Diver was definitely the star of my day though, despite it being quite active, and at a fair distance, and there being a lot of annoying shrubs and saplings lining the lake - so that quite a lot of scuttling up and down the path was needed, to get viewpoints that would give reasonable shots. I definitely think it repaid the effort though, and I hope that you do too - it's such a handsome bird, and was set off really nicely by the gold and blue reflections on the water. I love its markings - especially the marks on its back that look like squiggles - and I'd say that it's already beginning to move towards its summer plumage. Please do look at the full-screen version if you have the time.
It's also a very efficient hunter, and seems especially fond of crustaceans; I've put a sequence of shots of it dispatching one on my Facebook page, if you'd like to see them. When it first surfaced it ducked the prey quite vigorously - I don't know why, unless it was to stun it; then it dipped it more carefully a couple of times, changing its grip slightly each time, before finally swallowing it. I have two more sequences of it feeding, and it followed pretty much the same pattern each time. This image was taken while it was drifting quietly after two successful dives - but it only took a short break before returning to the hunt.

About Title Insurance


Boasting of an incredible retina display with True Tone technology and Touch Bar for working smoothly, the MacBook Pro delivers a flawless performance and unmatched experience. With the new 8th generation Intel 6-core and quad-core processors, this device is popular among the mass all over the world. Despite offering several useful features, MacBook Pro is still not completely error-free. Like any other electronic device, this Apple product also develops a multitude of technical errors and glitches that call for immediate technical assistance. In case you are also dealing with such issues and don't know how to resolve them by yourself, do not worry about it at all.

PGDM-Finance is a two-year full-time programme spread over six trimesters. During the first year, the focus is primarily on building a strong foundation of conceptual and analytical skills required for advanced and specialized courses in finance pursued in the second year. In all, students study 22 courses covering Economics, Human Relations, Quantitative Techniques, Financial & Cost Accounting, Corporate Finance, Information Technology, besides a Personal and Interpersonal Effectiveness Lab.
In the second year, students have to opt for six electives in addition to ten compulsory courses. This enables the students to pursue an in-depth learning in the area of their specialization. The electives cover a variety of relevant areas, such as Treasury Management, Investment Management, Risk Management, and Strategic Accounting & Control. Besides these courses, each student is also required to undertake a Research Project under the guidance of a faculty member with the aim of gaining an insight into the actual corporate realities by studying a business problem in depth. Students take up the project study at the beginning of the fourth trimester and submit the dissertation thesis towards the end of the fifth trimester.
Each student is required to undertake summer training in a company of repute for the duration of 8-10 weeks as a part of course curriculum just after the third trimester examinations. This project training provides an opportunity to the students to have a first hand practical exposure and familiarize them to relate the conceptual and analytical skills acquired in classroom to actual managerial practices. The project is evaluated by the faculty members of the institute and the experts from organisations where the project was carried out. If the evaluation falls below the expectation level, the student is not promoted to the second year.
According to recent research on management education, business leaders prefer to engage professionals with 5-10 years of work experience with some short term management qualifications. Such professionals contribute more to growth of the organization as they stay for a longer period. This trend is also visible in Indian situation where top B-schools have embarked upon 15-month Executive Programme (a condensed course in various aspects of multi disciplinary management areas) to fill up the middle level management gap. In the recent times, there has been a considerable requirement of managerial competence both in the corporate and non-corporate sectors. The executives who have worked in the corporate sector for over 5 years, but are without a formal management education find it difficult to grow. Moreover, they are not in a position to spend 2 years away from their jobs. This programme enables them to enrich their managerial & entrepreneurial skills.
Preference may be given to professionals such as Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Cost Accountants, Engineers, Architects, and Doctors etc.

Q: Write string if a specific participant has a specific string in another table I want to see if a patient is willing to participate in our trial on ICT therapy.
In sheet1 I have a patientID-column and I want a ResearchOK-column that would write "Yes", if in sheet2 the OK-column says "Yes" for the same patientID (which has an adjacent column in sheet2). Simple enough, right? Well...
The problem is that in sheet2 the OK-column has a lot of empty values with the same patientID in the adjacent column. So the patient is a participant if there is one "Yes" for his patientID on OK-column, and not if there are none. This threw off all of my attempts.
Please let me know if I'm making no sense, I'll help however I can. I provided two simplified screen captures for illustration.
Sheet1
Sheet2

A: Try that way:
=IF(COUNTIFS(Sheet2!A:A;Sheet1!A1;Sheet2!B:B;"Yes") > 0; "Yes"; "")

Rosalie Murphy
The Desert Sun
Riverside County sheriff's deputies have arrested a Los Angeles man in connection with a string of burglaries at country club homes.
According to the sheriff's department, residents of Indian Wells and Palm Desert country clubs began reporting break-ins on Nov. 21. Police said the burglar stole personal property, golf clubs and luxury vehicles, several of which were later recovered from a Los Angeles-area chop shop.
Deputies from the Palm Desert Station Burglary Suppression Unit found Earnie Hooks, the suspect, at a hotel in Rancho Mirage on Saturday. Police said that they took him into custody and found evidence that connected him to the burglaries.
Hooks, 41, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, grand theft, petty theft and vehicle theft and was booked into the Riverside County Jail in Indio.
Officials ask anyone with information about these burglaries to contact deputy C. Gelinas at (760) 836-1746 or to report anonymously to (760) 341-STOP (7867).

The University of Florida College of Pharmacy Uses FormAssembly to Exceed Expectations for Student Processes
The University of Florida's College of Pharmacy spearheaded an initiative to modernize the process of collecting admission information from students. From prefilling program acceptance forms to collecting administrative fees, the UF College of Pharmacy uses FormAssembly features in a number of creative ways. Outside of the UF College of Pharmacy, the University of Florida Welcome Center implements FormAssembly and Salesforce to schedule and manage 20,000 campus tours per year. The school has found great success in using FormAssembly and the Salesforce Connector to update their student data in real time. Keep reading to find out how FormAssembly is helping the UF College of Pharmacy become completely student-centric in their approach to higher education.
About the College of Pharmacy at University of Florida
The College of Pharmacy at the University of Florida has an outstanding history and reputation. According to U.S. News & World Report rankings compiled on the university's website, the school is ranked as the number one pharmacy program in the state, and it lands in the Top 10 for pharmacy programs nationwide. Students can attend any of three state campuses, including Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Orlando. The college offers three degrees (Pharm.D., Ph.D., and M.S.) and also offers a robust online program. Alumni numbers exceed 12,000 individuals, dispersed across the United States and throughout several continents.
Reduction in the time needed for students to submit forms
(from 5 min. to 2 min.)
Central location for data versus 4 databases
FormAssembly forms created
Old Processes
The Form Advocate
Brian Karcinski, Salesforce Solution Architect
In order to compete with peers and get the top quality students and rise in the rankings, you have to bring in the best possible class that you can. With that, the administrators realized that they could not keep using the same old processes," Karcinski shared.
As times and technology have changed, student expectations have also evolved. Whereas old ways of collecting data were not always in line with the modern expectations of tech-savvy students, FormAssembly products are now helping the College of Pharmacy achieve its long-range mission to better serve students and staff.
For example, University staff acknowledged that old data collecting methods were tedious and required students to input similar information in more than one location. In some cases, admitted students had to enter information that the University already knew.
"When you're asking student what campus they're on, that doesn't instill confidence in the student or the applicant," Karcinski said.
Using FormAssembly, the college was not only able to operate more efficiently, but they were able to save time and hassle as they accepted new students to the highly competitive program.
Offer Acceptance Process Forms
The UF College of Pharmacy uses FormAssembly, in conjunction with their existing Salesforce records, to make the admissions process personalized for each incoming student. This new process provides a customized URL within an acceptance letter that directs each student to a prefilled FormAssembly decision form. Previously, school administrators used a mail merge system that did not include a personalized link.
The enrollment decision form directs students to a customized form that has their information pre-populated from Salesforce, using the FormAssembly Prefill Connector. Within the form, students are able to confirm their enrollment decision and personal information, accept the requirements for admission, provide the phonetic pronunciation of their names, and supply their t-shirt size. The new method provides convenience, speed, and flexibility, as students are able to confirm their enrollment from anywhere. "There were forms that the person had to physically fill out when they came in. They were doing this on a laptop. You'd come to your interview and then have to wait in line to fill out this additional form, which collected t-shirt size and phonetic pronunciation of your name," Karcinski said of the previous process. As students no longer have to be physically present, the university is able to save valuable time for both students and staff members.
Use Case: Offer Acceptance Process Forms
Use Case: Seat Deposit Payment
Use Case: Campus Tour Calendar, UF Welcome Center

As students no longer have to be physically present, the university is able to save valuable time for both students and staff members.
Seat Deposit Payment Forms create a simple, automated process with payment data accessible in real-time.
The UF College of Pharmacy uses a second FormAssembly form (the seat deposit form), which is phase two of their enrollment confirmation process. Students are required to pay a seat deposit fee to reserve their slot in the incoming class. Previously, confirmation for a paid deposit would go into a separate database. Staff members had to look up if a certain student had paid, and then record that information separately.
"Now when someone pays, it's all automatic," Karcinski said.
There's now centralized, real-time information for staff to access in Salesforce.
The Campus Tour Calendar syncs with Visualforce to manage all attendees for daily campus tours.
As a result of Karcinski's experience with FormAssembly, he realized that there were other creative applications of the product that extended beyond the scope of the College of Pharmacy. For instance, the University of Florida Welcome Center now uses FormAssembly to schedule and streamline their campus tours.
"The calendar is a Visualforce page that reflects the tour dates that are set up in the Salesforce instance on the calendar. We're dynamically pre-filling those tours as they're selected into one FormAssembly form," Karcinski said.
The calendar contains 60 tour dates, with two tours per day. In roughly eight to nine months, the university has received over 15,000 form submissions for new tours. Karcinski said that the calendar usage is "the most robust or large-scale project that we have," and looks forward to watching it grow for future use.
Back Up To Use Cases
A Student-Centric Experience
My initial goal was improving applicant experience, and what comes along with that is a much easier process for the staff as well," Karcinski shared.
FormAssembly helped trim down the time a student needed to submit their information from 5 minutes to 2 minutes, a change of 60%. Moreover, information went from being stored in four databases to being located in one central location in Salesforce. While the previous system provided limited exposure, the new process allowed a much more visible flow of information. The top benefits of the new process include:
Less Data Entry for Students
Student are only asked to submit information if it is not already stored in Salesforce. This eliminates redundant questions and repetitive steps. Additionally, the new form populates different questions based on whether a student accepts or declines admission.
Streamlined Process
With the new system, forms are easily embedded into the university website, which provides a "clean experience" and easy navigation to other resources.
Centralized Location for Student Information in Salesforce
Real-time information is now mapped to Salesforce where a communication record and analytics on completed steps are also conveniently stored. Previously, staff members would pass around spreadsheets, slowing down the ability to quickly gather and remember important information about incoming students.
Having been a FormAssembly customer for almost three years, Brian hopes to see the product expand as the UF College of Pharmacy grows. He has created about 120 forms for the university and hopes to see more large plans unfold. Undoubtedly, the University of Florida College of Pharmacy is paving the way for institutions of higher education hoping to modernize their processes and provide better service to students and staff.

The PeerAttributesHandler class uses a thread pool to handle JMX notficiations from peer drivers when they update their number of nodes and total number of node threads. It uses Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() which seems wasteful since the tasks performed by the threds are very short-lived.
We should use a configuration property "jppf.peer.handler.threads" which defaults to 1 to configure this number of threads instead.


Phoenixes are good 7th level creatures (when upgraded), creatures of levels 1-3 are also good. However, many other towns also have strong creatures, for example, Castle with its also overall strong creature line.
A lot of units are immune to Armageddon, making the Drageddon tactic strong as Conflux and weak against Conflux. However, I didn't see Armageddon as a popular spell. Finding the Grail, which is the only way to get Armageddon in Conflux, is also rare, and probably indeed deserves a decent reward.
Elementals are immune to Mind spells and to Bad Morale.
Conflux caster heroes are strong, especially some of them, like Luna. Still, other towns also have heroes that are too good and hence banned.
Magic University allows getting the desired magic schools quicker if gold is available.
While Elementals are unaffected by negative morale, they are also unaffected when it is positive (like the Undead).
There are no ranged units without upgrades, which can take time.
Elementals cannot be resurrected and have vulnerabilities to certain spells.
Level 4-6 units are not so good.
Conflux is generally rather expensive. Most of its strengths don't pop up unless a lot of resources are available.
While it is easy to clear the map with some of the Conflux tactics, this city is vulnerable to an early rush, especially when resources are scarce.
What makes this town overpowered rather than just an interesting addition to the game?
Incredibly strong earlygame. Between Sprites 9 speed no retaliation and storm elementals ranged attack conflux can clear out neutrals in no time with no losses.
Very fast scouting, they have the fastest lvl 1 and lvl 2 units.
Armageddon strategy, four units are immune to it (fire elemental(and upgrade), phoenix (and firebird), magma elementals and magic elementals). So pretty much your entire lvl 4-7 lineup is immune to armageddon.
Magic university is the best building in the game. it's basically free levelups for your heroes giving them the most important magic schools.
I don't understand why you would say lvl 4-6 is not good. fire eles are average for their level, earth eles are weak, yes. But magic eles are very powerful. They are a magic immune hydra.
Ranged upgrade for air elementals can be done on day 1, it costs 1.5k gold and a few resources + a storm elemental costs just 25 extra gold. This makes conflux pretty much impossible to be rushed as you have 10-20 lvl 2 ranged creatures with no melee penalty and stats akin to a lvl 3 creature.
Also don't underestimate sprites. Yes, they die fast, but they are very fast, flying, no retaliation and have massive numbers dealing a lot of damage.
Strong heroes. Monere starts with offense and logistics, several of their casters start with a desireable magic school.
Elemental vulnerabilities and inability to ressurrect can be a disadvantage, but that's countered by their immunity to mind affecting, the no negative morale (you can mix them with whatever you want!) and their immunity to certain spells.
Phoenixes guarantee you first move.
Very fast build order. Their dwellings are very cheap (only the lvl 7 dwelling costs more than 3k gold) and you don't have to build any non-dwelling to access any of the creatures.

Dark room photography enlightens budding artist
by Courtney Ingram March 30, 2016 September 4, 2020
Exploring a family legacy through the lens of a treasured hand-me-down Pentax K1000
The room must be completely dark with no visible light. The nearest bathroom will do. I shut off all the lights and run my fingers along the frame of the camera, searching for the round knob on top of the device. I curl my fingertips around its edge and pull up.
The camera jolts in my hand as the back casing bursts open. Fumbling in the dark, my fingers search for the film casing sitting on the countertop. Once found, I place the roll of film protected within the case inside the small nook within the camera. I push the rewind knob back down, locking the film in place, creating a snug fit. The process is very meticulous, and any error, no matter how small, could ruin the film. This is a fact I know far too well, given the amount of trial and error I have explored over the years.
I could tell the camera was a special gift from the moment I laid eyes on the package that Christmas morning. My Bopa had saved it until last, once almost everyone else had moved on from the festivities.
Adventure awaits on the road to the Mount Kidd campgrounds in this photograph. Subtle coloring, a signature feature of film photography, in a way highlights the quiet beauty of the rolling green hills and stoic, towering mountains on the horizon. Photo by Courtney Ingram"Now, this used to belong to my father," he said. He reached inside the box and pulled out a Pentax K1000.
Now comes the particularly tricky part. I grasp the end of the film and pull it across the camera frame, sliding it into a crack inside the take-up spool on the left. Gently, I continue to slip the film in further, until it peaks out the other side of the spool.
I couldn't believe my eyes. I'd always dreamt of using a film camera. The ancient art enticed my vintage soul. I loved the grainy resolution and desaturated photos it produced. Every image has its own personality. Like a snowflake, no two pictures are the same.
I could see in my Bopa's wizened eyes that this was a gift he wanted me to remember forever. Being the oldest grandchild and an only child, this was the first hand-me-down I had ever received.
The author's cousin, Sarah Ingram-Reid, stares down over a sunlit lake in Duncan, BC. The high-contrast development of film lends this photo a much more intense thematic feel than if it were taken digitally. Photo by Courtney IngramMy dad, sitting next to me, turned and cautioned, "You better take good care of this." I knew he meant business. My younger cousin, Sarah, who had also stuck around to watch, looked at the camera with envy.
The film must be properly fitted in the spool before I can close the casing. The teeth of the spool must grip the holes lining the top and bottom of the film. So again, I feel around the camera for the rewind knob and twist it, reigning in any slack on the film.
Living in Calgary prevented me from seeing my grandparents often, who lived all the way out on Vancouver Island. My cousins lived just a five-minute walk away from them, allowing for frequent visits. It was hard not to assume that they were the favourites.
The natural desaturation of an image that film photography supports in its process lends this mountain scene from the window of the Delta Lodge in January 2015 an austere, dreamlike quality. Photo by Courtney IngramHundreds of miles away, I often felt the distance between my grandparents and myself in more ways than just the physical. But on this Christmas morning, I felt like the most important person in my Bopa's world.
"He's giving the camera to me?" I thought to myself in astonishment. Sarah also shared an interest in photography, so I couldn't help but feel a little proud that I was chosen to receive such a gift.
With relief, I snap the casing shut. Now that the film has been neatly inserted, I slide my finger down just below the rewind knob to find the film advance lever. I tug it outwards, against resistance, until I am halted by a loud click. The noise echoing in the dark room signals to me that the camera is ready to shoot.
Even before birth, I had a unique connection to my great grandfather, the former owner of the camera. In honour of his life, my parents decided to name me after him.
Film photography has been critiqued many times over for its low-resolution, dark imaging with soft focus. This style doesn't hit home for every photo-enthusiast, but in the case of this picture, such qualities turn a simple still into a dynamic, mysterious action shot. Photo by Courtney IngramOn that Christmas morning, the camera weighed down in my hands, reminding me of that unbreakable bond.
This wasn't just any old camera – this was a legacy, passed down from generation to generation. I couldn't imagine how I was ever going to live up to it.
I leave the dark room and rush to tug back the film advance lever. The best part is watching the ticker number crawl down to 24. Eager to take my first shot, I press the camera exterior against my brow. When the subject for my print is framed within the viewfinder, I push down on the shutter release button and take the photograph. I knew my Bopa and namesake would be proud of this one.

I could see in my Bopa's wizened eyes that this was a gift he wanted me to remember forever. Being the oldest grandchild and an only child, this was the first hand-me-down I had ever received.

The author's cousin, Sarah Ingram-Reid, stares down over a sunlit lake in Duncan, BC. The high-contrast development of film lends this photo a much more intense thematic feel than if it were taken digitally. Photo by Courtney IngramMy dad, sitting next to me, turned and cautioned, "You better take good care of this." I knew he meant business. My younger cousin, Sarah, who had also stuck around to watch, looked at the camera with envy.

The film must be properly fitted in the spool before I can close the casing. The teeth of the spool must grip the holes lining the top and bottom of the film. So again, I feel around the camera for the rewind knob and twist it, reigning in any slack on the film.

Living in Calgary prevented me from seeing my grandparents often, who lived all the way out on Vancouver Island. My cousins lived just a five-minute walk away from them, allowing for frequent visits. It was hard not to assume that they were the favourites.

The natural desaturation of an image that film photography supports in its process lends this mountain scene from the window of the Delta Lodge in January 2015 an austere, dreamlike quality. Photo by Courtney IngramHundreds of miles away, I often felt the distance between my grandparents and myself in more ways than just the physical. But on this Christmas morning, I felt like the most important person in my Bopa's world.

"He's giving the camera to me?" I thought to myself in astonishment. Sarah also shared an interest in photography, so I couldn't help but feel a little proud that I was chosen to receive such a gift.

With relief, I snap the casing shut. Now that the film has been neatly inserted, I slide my finger down just below the rewind knob to find the film advance lever. I tug it outwards, against resistance, until I am halted by a loud click. The noise echoing in the dark room signals to me that the camera is ready to shoot.

Even before birth, I had a unique connection to my great grandfather, the former owner of the camera. In honour of his life, my parents decided to name me after him.

Film photography has been critiqued many times over for its low-resolution, dark imaging with soft focus. This style doesn't hit home for every photo-enthusiast, but in the case of this picture, such qualities turn a simple still into a dynamic, mysterious action shot. Photo by Courtney IngramOn that Christmas morning, the camera weighed down in my hands, reminding me of that unbreakable bond.

This wasn't just any old camera – this was a legacy, passed down from generation to generation. I couldn't imagine how I was ever going to live up to it.

I leave the dark room and rush to tug back the film advance lever. The best part is watching the ticker number crawl down to 24. Eager to take my first shot, I press the camera exterior against my brow. When the subject for my print is framed within the viewfinder, I push down on the shutter release button and take the photograph. I knew my Bopa and namesake would be proud of this one.

Burger King rolls out oil without trans fat
By Angela Moore
Published: July 6, 2007 3:13 p.m. ET
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Burger King Corp. on Friday said it has started the rollout of a trans-fat-free cooking oil to its restaurants in the United States.
Two trans-fat-free oil blends have passed the company's criteria, allowing Miami-based Burger King BKC, -6.45% to begin the national launch. The company expects that every U.S. restaurant will be using trans-fat-free cooking oil by the end of 2008. If adequate supplies become available, the U.S. rollout of trans-fat-free oils could be completed "substantially sooner," the hamburger chain said.
"We are delighted by the outstanding consumer response to our new oil," Russ Klein, Burger King's president of global marketing, strategy and innovation, said in a statement. He said that in tests on over a dozen core items, consumers said food cooked in trans-fat-free oil tasted the same or better than products cooked in traditional oil.
The news comes as Burger King's rivals have switched or are in the process of switching to trans-fat-free oil. Burger King was hit with a lawsuit recently, filed by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, which complained that the restaurant chain was lagging in the industry in ridding its menu of foods cooked in oil containing trans fat.
Trans fats can raise so-called bad cholesterol, doctors say, and may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other health problems.
Other chains, including McDonald's Corp. MCD, -0.23% Wendy's International Inc. WEN, -0.10% Starbucks Corp. SBUX, -0.09% Yum Brands Inc. YUM, -0.35% have either switched to healthier oils are in the process of replacing the oils they use.
Earlier this week, New York City's ban on trans fats in restaurants went into effect. Philadelphia is also phasing in a ban.
Shares traded down fractionally Friday afternoon at $26.43.

This week I presented two sessions at SPTechCon Boston 2012. Below are the slides for both presentations. The PowerShell for SharePoint Dev download also includes my demo scripts plus some additional ones that weren't in the presentation. Thanks to everyone who attended my sessions. I hope you had a great learning and networking experience at the conference.

This edition of the Spectrum Newsletter for August–October 2018 highlights spectrum auction activity worldwide in four regions.
Notable auctions during this period include the following.
Italy: In October, the 5G auction of the 700MHz, 3.6GHz and 26GHz bands in Italy raised EUR6.55 billion (USD7.58 billion). The spend per MHz per member of the population for the 700MHz band was lower than that for the 800MHz band for 4G in 2011. For the C-band, however, the price paid was USD0.42 per MHz per member of the population, which was significantly higher than in other recent auctions, such as those in South Korea, Spain and the UK, where operators paid USD0.19, USD0.13 and USD0.16, respectively.
Mexico: The 2.5GHz band spectrum tender made in July will deliver a total of MXN46.5 billion (USD2.2 billion) to the Mexican government over 20 years. USD2.1 billion of this will be from annual fees. The operators AT&T and Movistar paid a total of USD100 million in up-front costs.
USA: The FCC plans to free 500MHz of spectrum in the 3.7GHz–4.2GHz band for 5G mobile broadband and has enlisted fixed satellite service providers to certify the accuracy of existing registration and licence information.
The following regions and associated topics are covered.
Brazil clears the 700MHz band in Sao Paolo and initiates a consultation on the 2.3GHz band for 5G services.
Chile opens a consultation period for input into the national 5G strategy.
The sale of the 2.5GHz band delivered an initial USD100 million to the Mexican government plus a planned total of USD2.1 billion over a 20-year period.
Peru drafts regulation for spectrum refarming with additional coverage obligations.
The Federal Communications Commission plans to move ahead with the mmWave auction in November 2018.
The FCC proposes to free additional spectrum in the 3.7–4.2GHz bands for 5G.
ACMA announced plans for a spectrum auction in the 3.6GHz band including caps.
In India, the TRAI announced recommendations for spectrum auctions, including for 5G bands.
Albania's regulator issues a tender for 800MHz spectrum.
Finland successfully held a 3.5GHz auction in October and raised USD90 million.
France opens a call for the reallocation of 4G spectrum.
Germany will auction 3.4–3.7GHz spectrum in early 2019 and will reserve 100MHz in the C-band for industrial 5G use.
Italy raises USD7.58 billion from the 5G auction in October 2018, but this is less than that raised for 4G bands in 2011.
Lithuania plans to consult on the 5G 3.5GHz bands again, and is hoping to have a 700MHz auction in 2022.
Portugal plans to free-up 700MHz spectrum for use in 5G services by 2020.
Sweden started the 700MHz auction process, and the auction is set for December .
Mozambique plans to hold a 4G spectrum auction before 2019.
South Africa plans to hold a 5G spectrum auction by September 2019.


Greetings and welcome to the Wildwood.
I made my first flute in 1999 working from the plan found in W. Ben Hunts Indian-craft book. A great book worth getting if you are in to Native American culture!
I am self taught, spending many years experimenting with sound production, shape and form, tunings, timbers and finishes all based around the original plan.
I work with English timbers whenever possible, but I also work with some imported stock.
My favourite woods to make flutes with are: Oak, Rowan, Alder, Willow, Elm, Holly, Yew, Hazel, Birch and Hawthorn. All of these woods carry an excellent tone, each has its own timbre and qualities. Some of the English timbers like Hawthorn, Holly or Rowan are very difficult to obtain so the stock varies. Other woods I like to use for flutes are: Walnut, Maple, Mahogany and Rosewood. I also still recycle old timber. Feel free to get in touch and see what woods are currently available.
Each flute that I make is unique and has been lovingly hand crafted to provide you with an instrument that sings with a voice as beautiful as the natural wood it is made from.


The four New England research reserves are putting teachers on the estuary again this summer by offering free workshops that will give educators data-driven climate change activities to bring back to their classes. Each of the four TOTE (Teachers on the Estuary) workshops, one 3- or 4-day session per reserve, will train a dozen educators in reserve-style environmental monitoring, "coastal blue carbon" concepts, and ways to understand and address climate change.
Please note: The workshop at Wells Reserve will be held Monday, July 11 through Thursday, July 14, 2016. Review of applications will begin May 31, 2016.
In the 2016 workshops, teachers will examine the relationship between salt marshes, watersheds, climate change, and the global carbon trading economy. Waquoit Bay Reserve recently produced a high school STEM curriculum through its Bringing Wetlands to Market (BWM) initiative on Cape Cod, which focused on the economic value of salt marshes as carbon sinks — natural places to store carbon so it won't be released into the atmosphere to act as a greenhouse gas. The BWM curriculum will be shared with teachers at the New England TOTE workshops.
Teachers will also be introduced to information from around the country that focuses on sea level change and coastal inundation, and given access to the resources of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's collaborative Sentinel Site program.
When TOTE teachers return to their classrooms, some 2,500 middle and high school students will be connected to estuarine science and about 50 student-driven stewardship projects will begin across New England and beyond.

CDC confirms 10 new cases of rare polio-like neurological condition

(Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday it has confirmed 10 more cases of an extremely rare, polio-like condition, across 24 states.
The CDC had earlier this month confirmed about 62 cases of acute flaccid myelitis that causes the muscles and reflexes in the body to become weak. Most of the cases reported so far are people under 18 years of age.
The agency said in a health advisory on its website that it recently received increased reports of patients with symptoms of the disease over the last three months.
While the CDC still does not know the cause, the condition does not appear to be transmissible from human to human, agency director Robert Redfield said in an interview with "CBS This Morning" on Monday.
Acute flaccid myelitis or AFM is not new, but cases have been on the rise since 2014. The condition affects a person's nervous system, specifically the spinal cord, causing weakness in one or more limbs.
The condition remains very rare. The CDC estimates it affects only 1 out of 1 million people in the United States, with most cases involving children.
Since Aug 2014, the CDC has confirmed a total of 396 confirmed cases of AFM across the United States. Scientists are investigating a number of causes, including viruses, environmental toxins and genetic disorders.
