The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office has dismissed a misdemeanor assault and battery charge for a former Oakland County Sheriff's deputy involved in an altercation with a woman while on duty in Rochester Hills.
Kevin McNally had been charged after a Nov. 24, 2020 alleged incident outside the WoodSpring Suites in Rochester Hills where a car was reported stolen. The woman was doing "burnouts" in a nearby parking lot in the stolen car when McNally took her into custody. He was accused of slapping her after she kicked him in the groin. The woman was handcuffed at the time.
According to a police report, the woman was "incoherent and appeared to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and McNally attempted to interview her."
As stated in court records, a petition from the prosecutor's office to not prosecute Kevin McNally was filed on Sept. 28 "because the defendant has taken remedial classes regarding assaultive behavior."
Oakland County Circuit Judge Yasmine Poles subsequently signed by order.
Preliminary exam for Ariah Jackson murder case pushed out to May
Initially, McNally had also faced a felony charge of misconduct in office along with misdemeanor assault and battery. Last May, the misconduct in office charge was dismissed.
McNally was charged following both internal and criminal investigations. On Jan. 4, 2021, he was fired from his job with the sheriff's office.
The woman arrested in the incident, a 35-year-old Shelby Township resident, faced charges for vehicle theft, reckless driving, assault and resisting arrest.

The Aerospace Department at the University of Bristol is one of the largest departments in the UK and benefits greatly from from the concentration of aerospace industry in the south-west of England. The key feature of the Department's research is its close links with the industry, including Airbus, Rolls-Royce, AgustaWestland, BAE Systems, Embraer, Vestas, etc. Some of these research links have led to the establishment of formal technology partnerships, such as the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Composites, the AgustaWestland Helicopters University Technology Centre in Vibration, and a composites technology partnership with Vestas Wind Systems. The result of this close relationship with industry, associated with substantial research funding from other UK and EU sources, is that the Department's research is industrially relevant and at the leading edge of the aerospace sector as reflected by the high proportion of research found to be internationally excellent and world-leading in the 2008 UK Government Research Assessment Exercise. The department is also considered as one of the UK's most successful groups with a strong track record of securing funding from EU H2020 and CleanSky. The Faculty of Engineering has recently (2014-2016) invested over £1.3 million in the design and build of a new state-of-the-art aeroacoustics facility. The facility is equipped with PIV, LDV and hotwire system for all necessary flow and turbulence measurements. The facility is also equipped with a far-field microphone array (25 microphones) and source location studies can be performed using UoB's 48-channel beamforming array. The aeroacoustics group at UBristol has developed strong expertise in theoretical and experimental aeroacoustics and turbulence and is now covering a wide range of topics, such as aerofoil noise control using passive and active methods, morphing, porous materials, unsteady flow control techniques, beamforming, drag reduction techniques, etc..

I was digitising an inherited reel of tape with vintage off-air BBC radio recordings recently and while I can identify almost everything with a combination of arcane knowledge, guesswork (checked against known audio of the suspected artists) and reference to Ken Garner's two books on Radio 1 sessions, this one eludes me.
While Ken's book gives Dickinson's name in his programme by programme list, it is absent from his subsequent detailed alphabetical list of sessions and their contents, so one cannot guess the song » Continue Reading.
I was chatting at a party last weekend to a friend who organises gigs in Northampton. He was reeling off the names of all sorts of interesting artists that I'd never heard of. Like the Kings of the South Seas, whose modern take on sea shanties is right up my street.
It struck how much excellent music there is out there that is just under the radar or known only to those who are into a particular genre. Everything is so very compartmentalised these days. It made me nostalgic for the days of TOTP, the OGWT and the John Peel Show where there was a whole range of different styles and I could surprise myself by liking something that was far from my normal comfort zone.
I'm a died-in-in-the-wool Peelite. The great man taught me that you can have a radio show (or a playlist) where the likes of Can, Laura Cantrell, the Inkspots, HMHB, Fela Kuti, Sandy Denny, Hildegard Von Bingen, Belle & Sebastian, Slayer, Billie Holliday, They Might Be Giants, Tangerine Dream etc etc can happily co-exist.
Where can I find that musical eclecticism today? NPR's wonderful Tiny Desk concerts perhaps? And here on the AW of » Continue Reading.


Mann woke up and stretched himself to his limit, the rays of sun causing him thirty seconds blindness; he picked up his training boot, about to start today's one hour compulsory jogs.
He stepped outside his two bedroom flat, only few people on the street. He plugged in an earphone and started listening to one early morning motivational song. Next, he began to exercise.
"Spy 04, package 007 is leaving his house for his routine exercise, copy."
Skarley whispered to the small listening device attached to the collar of her tank top.
"I'm moving in from the south, cover me up," Spy 04 replied.
"I've got a separate job, no more back up or cover. Set your stop watch to five minutes," Skarley whispered into the device, and started trailing Mann.
"Are you out of your mind?" Spy 002 shouted, causing the frequency of her listening device to go high, nearly bursting her eardrum.
Skarley stammered, she had been caught unaware, panic sets in.
"You were instructed to bug him with Beta C3 – a supersonic listening device – but you've implanted a deadly bug on him. Well, pray he finds out on time or you meet with the head of forensic and equipment testing to deactivate it before it expires in six hours time," Spy 002 lectured.
"Anyway, you'd have to give a report to the head of committee in the next 12 hours, good day!" The device went off.
She walked dejectedly home, with a glint of hope; only God knows why she is always at the verge of spoiling things.
Finally... some action story! I look forward to it.

Nomad Clan paint the UK's largest mural in Leeds
inspiringcity July 10, 2017 July 31, 2020 Artist Interviews, British Street Artists, Leeds Street Art, Nomad Clan, UK Street Art
Athena Rising in Leeds is the new giant mural from the Nomad Clan. It's 47 metres high and towers above the city. Painted on a tower block overlooking the train station. It is their largest and most ambitious to date. In fact, in the UK, this is the largest mural anywhere.
The Nomad Clan are a street art duo who are at the top of their game. Both accomplished artists in their own right. Put them together and they add another dimension. It's one which brings out the best in both their works and their styles.
The mural in Leeds was 8 months in the making and 16 days in the doing. The end result being a full 10 metres taller than the UK's previously biggest street piece.

Cbloxx and Aylo – The Nomad Clan
Cbloxx and Aylo, to give their artist names, are artists well known to this blog. We covered their very first murals together as Nomad Clan at the Femme Fierce paint jams in Leake Street and Croydon a few years back, "We'd painted together before of course" they told me "but Femme Fierce was the first time we painted as Nomad Clan and put our name on it"
Meeting up with the Nomad Clan was a must. The UK's largest mural can't go without comment so we headed to Leeds. We caught up with them in a pretty green square. One of the many places in the city the mural looks down upon. Next to the square is a multi-story car park. It's a particularly good vantage point to see the work against the backdrop of the city.
Athena Rising is the name of the piece. It features a pair of owls, symbols of the city of Leeds but also themselves symbols of knowledge. One of the owls holds a lightbulb in its claws. It flies against a large green moon and feathers from each drop to the floor. The lightbulb symbolises innovation and the creativity of ideas. Geometric patterns are also prominent in the background. An example of sacred geometry. They represent the way that nature is in tune with itself. The inter connectivity of the environment and everything around us.
Another symbol used on the mural is the etched crown. Rougher than the fine detail of the rest of the piece. This is the symbol of the Nomad Clan. A graffiti symbol now brought in to represent work from the duo themselves. It symbolises status and has a history. It says that the artists are at the top of their game and they deserve to wear it. By placing the symbol so prominently it dares others to disagree. It's a perfect link back to the time when the duo were starting out in a different crew. Finding their way on the graffiti scene. It shows the confidence that these two artists now have.

Their work has been attracting attention and it's not hard to see why. The project was part of a collaboration by local art agency East Street Arts. It took 16 days to produce on the side of a 47 metre high building. The final design was the result of numerous versions. From an initial concept involving a steam train, a nod to the steam heritage of Leeds, to the final one with the owls.
They show me several sketches showing the evolution of the piece. All are impressive works of art in their own right. They show the evolution and the thinking behind the end result. No less than 10 different versions were created prior to settling on what we now see.

A City Less Grey
The project itself is part of East Street Arts 'a city less grey' programme. A series of street art installations covering different spots in the city. The work by Nomad Clan is by far the biggest and most ambitious mural. However it's a project which also features works from Jo Peel, Joe Dickinson, Kasia Breska and Mike Winnard.
Leeds is one place where street art hasn't really fully taken off up till now. Hopefully this will be the catalyst for some more murals to come. You only need to look over the Pennines to see the impact street art has had in Manchester. It's transformed the city and it looks great. With Athena Rising in Leeds this is an impressive statement. Will it be the start of things to come for this great northern city.
Athena Rising the mural by Nomad Clan is part of the East Street Arts 'A city less grey' project. It can be seen on the side of the Bruntwood building which overlooks Leeds city train station. The mural was visited and the Nomad Clan interviewed on Thursday 6 July 2017.

American Impressionism
Style of painting

Frank W. Benson, Eleanor Holding a Shell, North Haven, Maine, 1902, private collection.
American Impressionism was a style of painting related to European Impressionism and practiced by American artists in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. American Impressionism is a style of painting characterized by loose brushwork and vivid colors. The style often depicted landscapes mixed with scenes of upper-class domestic life.

2 Impressionism in the Industrial Age
3 Trailblazers
4 Jazz Age decline
5 Characteristics of American Impressionism
6 Notable American Impressionists
Emerging style[edit]
Theodore Robinson, Low Tide Riverside Yacht Club, (1894), Collection of Margaret and Raymond Horowitz
Impressionism emerged as an artistic style in France in the 1860s. Major exhibitions of French impressionist works in Boston and New York in the 1880s introduced the style to the American public. Some of the first American artists to paint in an impressionistic mode, such as Theodore Robinson and Mary Cassatt, did so in the late 1880s after visiting France and meeting with artists such as Claude Monet. Others, such as Childe Hassam, took notice of the increasing numbers of French impressionist works at American exhibitions.
Impressionism in the Industrial Age[edit]
As railroads, automobiles, and other new technology emerged, American impressionists often painted vast landscapes and small towns in an effort to return to nature. Before the invention of collapsible paint tubes artists were often confined to using subjects in their studios or painting from memory. With the invention of paint tubes in 1841, artists could transport their paint and easily paint in nature.
Trailblazers[edit]
From the 1890s through the 1910s, American impressionism flourished in art colonies—loosely affiliated groups of artists who lived and worked together and shared a common aesthetic vision. Art colonies tended to form in small towns that provided affordable living, abundant scenery for painting, and relatively easy access to large cities where artists could sell their work. Some of the most important American impressionist artists gathered at Cos Cob and Old Lyme, Connecticut, both on Long Island Sound; New Hope, Pennsylvania, on the Delaware River; and Brown County, Indiana. American impressionist artists also thrived in California at Carmel and Laguna Beach; in New York on eastern Long Island at Shinnecock, largely due to the influence of William Merritt Chase; and in Boston where Edmund Charles Tarbell and Frank Weston Benson became important practitioners of the impressionist style.
Jazz Age decline[edit]
Some American art colonies remained vibrant centers of impressionist art into the 1920s. However, impressionism in America lost its cutting-edge status in 1913 when a historic exhibition of modern art took place at the 69th Regiment Armory building in New York City. The "Armory Show", as it came to be called, heralded a new painting style regarded as more in touch with the increasingly fast-paced and chaotic world, especially with the outbreak of World War I, The Great Depression and World War II.
Characteristics of American Impressionism[edit]
Unlike early Renaissance painters, American Impressionists favored asymmetrical composition, cropped figures, and plunging perspectives in their works in order to create a more "impressionist" version of the subject. In addition, American impressionists used pure color straight from the tubes to make the works more vibrant, used broken brushstrokes, and practiced "impasto"- a style of painting characterized by thick raised strokes. European impressionists painted tranquil scenes of landscapes or the lower and middle classes. American impressionists focused on landscapes like the European impressionists, but unlike their European counterparts, American impressionists painted scenes that depicted the upper class in an effort to show off America's economic prowess.

The big rebrand - one year on
As we approach the year mark since we decided to jump in the branding deep-end, we reflect on the decision and discuss the reasons, questions and difficulties involved.
In August 2017 we decided to make the brave leap and go it alone into the big bad world of software development and consultancy, finally emancipating ourselves from our London overlords.
Just kidding - Softwire are a great company where husband and wife team Ric and Emily had spent 12 happy years working before moving to Bristol. They then started here with a small team - some of whom had also worked in London, but soon were attracting interest from graduates and clients and some years later harboured a 35-strong team. It was time to fly the nest. We were all super excited - and a little nervous - and we all contributed to the re-brand decisions. We also sought support from Proctor + Stevenson who helped enormously with shaping the brand.
Where to start with a brand new name?
Ever wonder who came up with names like Uber or Amazon? Names that seemingly come totally out of left field, but in retrospect sum up the company perfectly? It's really not an accident. See 2017's best and worst brand names to see how a name can affect everything.
And yet the name is not where it begins or ends. A name is a large part of a brand and a brand needs to capture a bit of everything. It needs to contain the very philosophy and purpose of a company. But who were we? Why did we feel we needed our own identity? We all knew a little bit of it, but we needed to discuss it and build a shared understanding; a shared mission and purpose for software development, life, the universe and everything. Tough gig.
So we had a big meeting...
And then another. And then some whiteboard daubings, collaborative spreadsheets, ad-hoc discussions, collective soul-searching and heated philosophical debates.
And after all that we arrived at an articulation of it all - which essentially creates a brief for the brand by laying out the purpose of it for all to see. The challenge was now clear - come up with a name which satisfies the brief.
Distilling the purpose
If any time is the time to get creative, it is now. You have to throw as many ideas up on the wall as you can. It will be chaotic, it can seem prone to error, but it's just the only way. But with a clear brief you can immediately reject those ideas - and this is the real art of practical creativity - simultaneously total openness and ruthless culling.
We got well over 100 names. But everyone commented on the proposed ideas as to whether they felt they met the brief, and raised any concerns. Here are some that nearly made it, and their reasons for rejection:
Swestech - too much like hanging on to our old name of "Softwire West"
Momoweb - sounds like we only do web design
Mabel - Too close to other names, key URLs taken
Fixl - Sounds like we just fix things
Valley - Too close to other names, key URLs taken, sounds like we only service Wales
Panagon - A bit corporate
In the end, we chose one that gave us most scope for brand-building, and one with the clearest and most apt associations - and with an added Bristolian story to share: Ghyston.
Why do we think this paints a decent picture of us?
We both achieve great, long-lasting things.
We're both motivated and caring.
We both know about the importance of a good work/life balance.
We're both Bristol legends!
We also join a prestigious list of companies inspired by mythology:
Read about Ghyston the Giant here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goram_and_Vincent or visit the website of the book series.
How is the name doing now?
As you might imagine with a team of developers with enquiring, critical minds - there was some resistance to the change.
"No-one can spell it!"
"No-one can pronounce it!"
"No-one knows the Giant story!"
Yes, there was some truth to all of these. But a year on, we have lived through the brand and had some excellent feedback on materials, events and recruitment drives. As we now cement ourselves into the ranks of SEO and the consciousnesses of the South West software scene, we find that the aforementioned naming issues weren't really issues at all. Spelling issues by themselves are only important for searching (and we had that covered); but more importantly spelling and pronouncing issues affect memorability. However, in reality what we needed most was to stand out and attract attention. The most common feedback we get from both recruitment fairs and from clients is that our people are enthusiastic, friendly and know their stuff. So as long as we get a foot in the door, and reinforce our name on documents and freebies, then memorability and positive associations will be consistently high - no matter if the name is unusual. As for the story - well this only helps! It creates some character and - for the amateur psychologists - eases the commitment into long-term memory.
So we are pleased with the result and enjoyed the journey - admittedly riding some waves along the way. It's never easy, but valuable things often aren't.
Whether it's a complex problem or a simple question, we'd love to hear from you.

I was supposed to have some meetings at Truffles. But it wasn't opened so I moved to the Renaissance. While blowing grammar (the thing we sometimes do for money), I began to shuffle my attention between my guest and a corner of the hotel.
I had noticed a roll-up banner that announced books, a section of a table with piles of books, and people filing out with carrier bags of books. My guest had lost me. I had sent a message to the guests of my next meeting to postpone our meet. I couldn't wait to see books. Then I saw the side of a lady in ankara, with a dyed crew cut, and in full salesman mode. She strolled to the entrance and I figured, "Oh, it's Lola Shoneyin". I rushed the meeting and entered the pop-up book store. My first question, enthusiastically - I hope you have Dami Ajayi's new book. She led me to the corner of the store where Dami's books sat pretty among others. Lola was recommending another book to me when new customers enter. I let her go attend to them so I could wander about. I regret to find two books that I had bought on my kindle just earlier in the morning. I wished I bought from her store. She may not yet know my fascination with creative people with enthusiasm for business.
I picked Dami's, I picked Yemisi's book, which I had promised as someone's Christmas present, and Bolaji Abdullahi's account of the presidency of former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan - "On A Platter of Gold", and a complimentary copy of Ake Review (2017).
The guitar 👌🏽. And then Ed Sheeran killed the hook. Lovely.
My friend and I chatted about how best to celebrate his wife. The wife is a friend too and so I'm familiar with some of the things that interest her.
The husband had planned a lunch at a cool hotel, including some random plans. But we wanted more. We challenged ourselves to come up with an idea that will be simple and cool. The husband and I, usual collaborators in a record of mischiefs and silliness, started to brainstorm. Then, we happened on a simple one that will appeal to the wife's intellectual and romantic sides.
Idea: The husband will write a cool and romantic poem and share couplets with the wife's friends who will post it on Twitter, on schedule, with the hashtag - #T32.
How's this relevant? The wife likes poetry. She's a Twitter citizen. Her friends appreciate poetry. They will love to surprise her. Her husband writes poetry. I write poetry too. And I'm readily available to edit poetry. I'll be available to pressure the husband to complete the poem before the birthday. I can help to break the poem into tweets.
Everybody made it happen. And the celebrant was happy.
I pity any jury this year or next year that would be tasked to judge this ad by Airtel versus the "Achebe" one for Wikipedia. Tough one. Two incredibly beautiful campaigns.
I had shared by opinion about the Wikipedia one. I love this for its simple insight; it's clever demonstration of the filial connection between Nigerian mothers (African mothers, especially) and their children.
If not for that epic one by Wikipedia, this would easily be my favourite by a faaaaaaaar distance! And the acting is spot-on. They killed me with the cut back to scene after the announcer. I'd give the credit of boldness to the client. Not many of them approve such playfulness.
I found this gem! (But I should digress for a sec. A few weeks ago, I stumbled on an Instagram ad for Wikipedia. The ad features that tiny Internet phenomenon called Emmanuella. Expectedly, it has the slapstick humour one expects from this girl, sometimes exaggerated for effect. I love it).
Then this one. Still by Wikipedia. It features Pete Edochie and Achebe's famous book. One must commend the guys behind this for a clever casting of an actor whose career is most notably associated with his role as the lead character from a TV adaptation of the book. (In my head, Pete Edochie is still registered as Okonkwo).
There are many layers to this beautiful ad. One of this, it seems, is that our stories, and cynically, like our humanity, are at the mercy of capitalism. This is a simple evidence - Wikipedia wants to sell itself to a Nigerian (African?) audience, and so the advertising minds - for sake of advertising profits - exploit arguably Africa's biggest story to tell the story of Wikipedia. Capitalism!
But that's not necessarily the most important layer. It is the storytelling quality - of the directing, of the acting, of the very substance of resurrecting Things Fall Apart in an era where history is a footnote in Nigerian classrooms, and in an era where creatives elevate technique above good idea. This ad - let's appropriately call it film, doesn't distract with techniques. This is a strong narrative informing an execution, not the other way round.
I love this work. Proud of it.
Oops! This Writer Went In On Fela!
"Basically there was no Rosa Parks kind of momentum, no Martin Luther King massive disruption of an entrenched system of segregation which led to concrete achievements in the areas of adult suffrage, women and minority empowerment, desegregation in the educational system to mention just a few."
"For Fela specifically, his failure could not be taken too far away from his personality. He was seen as a caricature by serious minded people who although loved the rhythm of his songs and the powerful lyrics consigned him to just side attraction that only interest you on a Friday night. His message, however, resonated on the masses, those who were dislocated from the system, who apart from the tendency of morphing into a mob flow were dim-witted and unable to effect a real social change at the levels where it matters the most."

UK spending review
Sunak urged to extend boost to welfare benefit
Campaigner Marcus Rashford warns families 'counting down days until help is taken away'

Chancellor Rishi Sunak came under fire on Thursday for leaving more than 6m of the UK's poorest households under threat of a £1,000 cut in their annual income just as unemployment is due to peak next year.
Official forecasts published alongside Mr Sunak's spending review show the UK faces a long squeeze on living standards following the coronavirus crisis, with the economy set to be 3 per cent smaller and average earnings £1,200 a year lower even in 2025, relative to pre-pandemic expectations.
So far, many low-income families have been shielded from the worst of the economic fallout by a temporary £20 uplift in the basic weekly rate of universal credit.
But when the chancellor set out his spending plans on Wednesday, he said nothing about whether this uplift in the welfare benefit would continue after next March, when it is currently set to expire.
"I'm really concerned that families are constantly counting down the days until help is taken away from them . . . Children cannot be living to deadlines," said Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United footballer whose campaign on child food poverty has already forced the government into two embarrassing U-turns.

"Is the universal credit uplift going to be taken away in April?" he asked Mr Sunak on Twitter.
The chancellor gave no commitment when asked by the BBC on Thursday whether the £20 uplift in universal credit would stay.
"The good news is that support lasts all the way to next spring," he said. "As we get through this and we have more certainty about the future, we can decide what the best way is to support the economy, businesses and then crucially, people's jobs and their livelihoods and we'll make these decisions as we go through."
Many analysts think that in practice, Mr Sunak will have to keep welfare benefits at their more generous level for longer.
This may not quite be a return to austerity, but for some public services it may not feel much different
Paul Johnson, IFS director
Otherwise, poor households, many of them clustered in constituencies that swung from Labour to the Conservatives at the last general election, would suffer a big income hit just as the labour market was at its weakest, with the Office for Budget Responsibility predicting unemployment will peak at 7.5 per cent in the spring.
"It makes no sense, politically or economically," said the Resolution Foundation, a think-tank.
Analysis of the OBR forecasts and Mr Sunak's spending plans by the Resolution Foundation and the Institute for Fiscal Studies, another think-tank, painted a dismal picture of the broader outlook for UK living standards and household finances.
They showed that funding pressures were set to continue in many areas of public services, increasing the likelihood of tax rises once the economy has recovered from the worst of the coronavirus-induced downturn.
"This may not quite be a return to austerity, but for some public services it may not feel much different," said Paul Johnson, IFS director.

Rishi's spending review and fears for new tiers
Outside health, education and defence, Whitehall departments would face small real-term cuts in spending after next year, "baking in the cuts already made since 2010", said the IFS, while local authorities would rely on increases in council tax that would benefit richer areas most.
The IFS added it would be unrealistic for Mr Sunak to stick to his spending plans, because it was likely that some coronavirus-related expenditure would remain necessary after next year. There would also be pressure to spend more on both public services and welfare benefits.
This means the UK could be facing an even bigger fiscal shortfall at the end of the current parliament than that already set out in the OBR's forecasts.
Mr Johnson said his central forecast "would have borrowing at least another 1 per cent of national income higher in 2024-25 and subsequently", meaning that if Mr Sunak wanted to balance the current budget, he would eventually need to cut spending or raise taxes by 2 per cent of national income, or £40bn.
UK politics & policy
Rishi Sunak refuses to rule out raising income tax, VAT or national insurance
Mr Sunak sent a strong signal on Thursday that tax increases were looming.
He told the BBC the current level of spending was unsustainable and refused to rule out increases in income tax, value added tax or national insurance.
The Conservative party's 2019 election manifesto promised not to raise these taxes, and the Treasury insisted after Mr Sunak's BBC interview that the manifesto pledges still applied.

ACPS will Still Open Fully Virtual on September 8th
August 28th, 2020 by WCBC Radio
On August 4, 2020, the Interim Superintendent, Mr. Jeff Blank, recommended a fully virtual learning model to begin the 2020-2021 school year, which the Board of Education unanimously approved. ACPS knows that returning to school with in-person options is important for the development and well-being of the students, but also recognizes our obligation to pursue reopening in a manner that is safe for students, teachers, and staff.
On August 27, 2020, the state of Maryland issued a new document entitled "COVID-19 Guidance for Maryland Schools". It is noted in this document that the guidance is provided to assist schools to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance states:
School systems and nonpublic schools are encouraged to open for in-person learning where it is safe to do so. These schools are expected to follow applicable guidelines from the Maryland Department of Health, local health department, and the CDC for safe reopening of in-person instruction. Each local school system and nonpublic school, in consultation with the local health department, should review the school reopening metrics to make reopening decisions and to adjust in-person educational offerings, as necessary, when the metrics indicate an increased level of risk.
Dr. Karen Salmon, State Superintendent of Schools, stated during yesterday's press conference, "Today, in light of those improving numbers (COVID numbers within the state) and with these specific metrics provided by the Department of Health, I am strongly encouraging local school systems to re-evaluate their mode of instruction by the end of the first quarter of the upcoming school year, especially if they have indicated that they are maintaining a virtual delivery system until January of 2021."
ACPS has always shared a commitment to providing a hybrid or traditional schooling model when it is deemed a safe and feasible option for our school communities. With the new guidelines provided August 27, 2020, ACPS will still open fully virtual on September 8, 2020, for student learning while continuing preparations in accordance with our submitted plan that allows for small cohorts/groups of students to receive some in-school learning. These small groups could include students with disabilities, early childhood and elementary school students, at-risk students who need additional support through Tiered instruction, and CCTE students who need hands-on instruction within their CTE skill/technical area. Utilizing a gradual, phased-in approach, which may not include all groups at the same time, rather than returning students through the hybrid model, will allow the school system to monitor and mitigate challenges directly and in the future.
The ACPS Recovery Plan, which addresses thirteen areas required by the MSDE, is posted on the ACPS website, www.acpsmd.org, and will be revised and updated as needed going forward.

The people of Allegany County owe Acting ACPS Superintendent Jeff Blank a debt of gratitude for his leadership and advocacy that will keep our students safe. I have seen grandparents raising children who would likely become infected with COVID. The confluence of the worst pandemic in over a century and a dangerous flu season that is coming compel us to mitigate even further. We must avoid allowing our citizens who if they don't expire on a ventilator will suffer with the life long effects of a loss of taste and smell senses, lethargy, and "brain fog". Our ACPS teachers have been and will continue to give our kids everything possible while focusing on safety first.

Congratulations to the ACPS for using common sense and a sense of responsibility in providing virtual schooling in the County.
They are more in touch with reality than is Gov.Hogan who is willing to throw all of our children in harms way.

Q: Cannot find linux with old interface I am looking for Linux distribution that use simmilar or the same user interface like UBUNTU 9.10
Can you help?

A: You are probably looking for something like Gnome2. There are two different environments — Cinnamon and MATE. The (meta)package for Cinnamon would be cinnamon-desktop-environment and the (meta)package for MATE would be mate-desktop-environment. So, for example, to install the complete Cinnamon desktop, you would do sudo apt-get install cinnamon-desktop-environment (or search for and install that package through Synaptic).
Once you install either one (or both!), you should be able to select which one to open when you log in. There's no harm in installing both, since you can select whichever one you want (and set that one as default if you want) when you log in.

I think you'd better stay put till it happens. I'll be right outside this door, I promise, and you can ask me for whatever you need. I brought your pillows downstairs. There are blankets in the tub. It might be a good time to get some rest. Make yourself comfortable. You'll be safer in there.
Remember that cat we had? That one you found under the porch and pulled out hissing like a demon, that hid behind the couch and the door between feedings, that left dead mice in pieces for mom to find? How she fought you off of everything but feeding her? Dad said we could keep it, even though I think mom hated him for it, because he said he wanted us to learn for ourselves that some things won't be loved.
We tried. I know you tried. It's a wonder you didn't scar with all those bites and scratches. Damn thing nearly ate you alive. You were determined, and whenever you'd manage to get a good hold on her and she'd go limp, lying in wait for a wrong move, you'd get this little satisfied smile. It's the same smile you have in that picture on the mantle without your front tooth, the one you make when you think you're winning, the one you make right before you lose.
When she started slowing down, getting bigger, you thought you'd done some good, that she was warming up to you. But she'd just let herself get caught and held long enough for kittens to come. They told us we were going to keep one and get rid of the cat. It was supposed to teach us compromise, I think, or unfairness.
Do you remember that night? When you snuck downstairs and curled up on the bathmat in case they came? Mom and dad were already asleep, so I sat with you. When I decided we'd been there long enough, I lifted you, dozing, from the floor and held you while I checked on the cat. Through the door crack, I saw blood soaking into the towels. She had the last one limp between her paws. It didn't seem to be breathing, but I couldn't be sure. I watched her devour it, head and all, as if it weren't her own. You were awake enough to see her face, calm and brutal and bloody. Your scream woke them and mom went off, so I waited with you in your bed till you drifted back to sleep, whispering all the while it had only been a dream.
I told you the cat ran away, back to her family, probably, but mom, when she saw what happened, threw that thing in the back of the car and took her to the reservoir and drowned her. She said it wasn't anything worse than what it did to her own. "Revenge is natural," she said. "That's survival of the fittest." Her idea of living was always struck through with malice.
We belong together. It's safest by ourselves with no one interfering. I'll sit with you, right outside this door until the time comes. I'm not going anywhere. Are you comfortable? Do you need anything?
I'm worried about what she's been teaching you up there ever since I left. When the fighting came to blows and they decided mom would stay upstairs and dad would stay downstairs and we'd be free to go as we pleased, I knew you'd end up with her. Dad was always the weaker one. He's faded into the couch or the walls and all but disappeared. If he speaks, it's whispered as if from a distance. The way he lives is like a memory, like he only exists when you're thinking about him, and even then, vague, colorless, fuzzy around the edges. I don't miss him like I thought I would.
Once mom was settled, she wanted so badly to keep you with her in the stuffy old attic with her TVs blaring like all that noise would keep you company. It's nicer down here. I got worried when you stopped leaving her room. When I'd call up for you, you wouldn't answer. Could you hear me? I always hoped you did, but I know how your mother was, and what it was like when she wanted to get her way. I was afraid if I went after you, I'd never get back out. That's why it took so long for me to come up and get you.
I didn't realize just how bad it had gotten, until I saw you curled up at the foot of her bed, small, and frail, and sickly from all the smoke and no sunlight, while she sat up in front of the drawn curtains, lit only by that television, neither of you talking, I grabbed you and took you downstairs and washed your face and fed you and put you to sleep in my bed, where it was warm and clean and I knew you were safe. I shut the door to the upstairs and locked it. I can hear her banging on the floor, like she's trying to crash through the ceiling instead of walking down the stairs. She is as much of a force as he isn't, but we're not theirs anymore.
I'll stay out here, in case he changes his mind, or she comes down after us. I don't think she will. I'm not even sure if she remembers how to use the stairs. All I know is that I'm stronger, and I'm armed, and I'm gonna sit right here outside this door until it's safe for us to leave.
I remember when I saw you at the hospital, all fat and red and screaming. You were behind the glass with all the other babies in their display cases, and even though it was hard to find you at first, it couldn't have been anyone else. Dad held me up to see your smushed up old man face and your crazy hair and your tiny fists raised up to the sky. This? I thought. This is it?
Mom was outside on the smoking patio in a robe, dragging an IV. I had only ever seen them attached to sick people, and she wasn't looking so great. You probably can't remember, but she used to be pretty. Not like how she is now, like a skeleton stretched across with old skin. After you were born, she still had some light in her, but she got tired and then mean and then whatever she is now. That day, her hand hung by her mouth like it was heavier than it should've been and the smoke surrounded her and I was scared even to touch her. Dad made me climb in her lap, but it felt wrong. He didn't argue with me about it when I asked him in the car on the way home, but he didn't agree with me either. Something got lost that day. I knew then that it would be my job to take care of you.
It's like I told her the last time I spoke to her, when I came and pulled you from her bed while she watched like I was taking her plate away at a restaurant, while she stared at me, glassy eyed and silent, when I asked if you'd eaten, her fingers fumbling idly with the fringe on the blanket she'd spread across her lap while you shivered in my arms, while I rocked you slowly back and forth till you finally stopped crying and clung to me. So when I said it, it was sternly, but quietly, so even though she nodded, I'm not sure that she heard me. But what I said, what I said before I carried you downstairs, before I dried those tears, before I sad beside you as you slept in case your dreams got dangerous, in case you cried out in the night, in case I was wrong – which I wasn't. Which I'm not. What I said to her, what I meant then and mean now, what I said because it's the only thing I'm sure of, that I've ever been sure of, what I said was that I'll protect what's mine and you're what I've got left.

"I seek to meet each couple wherever they are on their faith journey recognizing that each person has their own approach to spirituality and religion. I encourage each couple to explore, examine and embrace their spirituality and reflect this in their wedding ceremony. Through this process their wedding can truly become a Sacred Moment of Life."
Over the last few years our world has changed in dramatic ways, from global warming to an ever changing economic landscape. If that were not enough, we also live in a multicultural pluralistic society. With so much change people still continue to seek the unchanging values inherent in every religion and spirituality. Many couples today upon leaving home and entering the work force have fallen away from the practice of the religion of their youth... if they even have had an exposure to one. They are on a journey, sometimes unsure of the direction. The last thing they want or need is a clergyperson telling them what to believe and using that as a test of whether or not he or she will marry them. In addition, most pastors will not marry persons who are not "paying" members of their church.
On the other hand, I seek to meet each couple wherever they are on their faith journey recognizing that each person has their own approach to spirituality and religion. I encourage each couple to explore, examine and embrace their spirituality and reflect this in their wedding ceremony. Through this process their wedding can truly become a Sacred Moment of Life.
Although I suggest that pre-marriage classes are indeed useful, I do not require them to officate at a wedding ceremony.

Caravan football to close out regular season vs. Br. Rice; playoffs next
Charles Pineda, Staff Writer|October 25, 2019
The Caravan plays its final regular season game on Friday, October 25, vs. Br. Rice.
George Vrechek
The Mount Carmel football team has been outstanding this season. The team is undefeated heading into its final regular season game against Br. Rice (Friday, October 5 – 7:30 p.m. at Barda-Dowling Stadium). The Caravan currently is ranked 3rd in the state and number 191 in the country.
Mount Carmel competes in the Catholic League "Blue" division, which includes Loyola, Brother Rice and Marist. With its record of 8-0, the Caravan sits in first place. Loyola is in second place in the division with a record of 6-2, while Brother Rice is third (5-3) and Marist occupies last place (4-4). Mount Carmel beat Loyola 17-14 in week 4 and also defeated Marist 21-14 in its homecoming game in week 6.
The Caravan 's final regular season game, against Br. Rice, should be very intense. Not only is it a divisional game, but Brother Rice is ranked 37th in the state. It will be a home game for the Caravan, and it is expected to be a full house.
After the Brother Rice game comes the IHSA playoffs. The Caravan already has clinched a spot for playoffs with or without the win over Brother Rice, but playoff seeds and pairings will not be announced until Saturday night.
Given its successful season and overall score differential (199-83), Mount Carmel should be considered a contender to win state. The final game against Br. Rice is an opportunity for the team to prove it is ready for the challenge.

When did you know you wanted to be an animal crossing expert?
by adminPosted on August 26, 2021
A young boy and his pet dog walk across the street, and suddenly, they realize they're not in their home city.
They turn around, and they're no longer in the neighborhood, and their parents have no idea what to do with them.
The parents must figure out how to reunite them.
"We just wanted to find a home for them, and the only place they could find a new home was a shelter," says Rosie Animal Crossing Animal Crossing Petting Zoo founder and director, Amy C. Schulman.
"We knew that the shelters were closing, but we didn't know that this was going to happen."
Cats are a special case, Schulmann explains, because of their long-term emotional and social distance.
"If they've been in your house for 10 years and you're still there, they may not have the ability to bond with you," she says.
"You have to teach them to bond."
In her own life, Schuler also has cats, and she's working on a book about cats called Cats, Caring Cats.
"I have this feeling that cats are the ones who can teach me what it's like to be a cat," Schulmans says.
Caring Cat: How to Raise a Cat in the Most Reliable Way.
Schulman is the founder and executive director of Caring Animal Crossing, an animal shelter that provides foster care for kittens and puppies.
Her organization, like many other animal shelters, caters to the homeless and homeless pets, and is a hub for people seeking help in the rescue of abandoned animals.
"If we can help the cat, it's better for us," she said.
"And so, I thought it would be good to share my story and to share it with people who might be in a similar situation."
Schulmans has two cats, a rescue mix named Cat, and a pit bull, who she says is an emotional, loving companion.
"He was always very sweet, always very kind, and he would make me smile when I met him, and I love him," she remembers.
Schuler has a very specific type of cat, a golden retriever named Babs.
She has a photo of the two of them together, and it is one of the most touching images she has ever taken.
"I have always felt that Babs has been a kind of surrogate mom to Babs," Schuler says.
"She's not just a mom; she's a surrogate mother.
She takes her first steps, she walks Babs down the street with him, she's there for him when he needs her, she loves him," Schulsmans says of her golden retrieva.
Schuler had the idea for the shelter after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and unable to have a hysterectomy.
She says she didn't want to leave her cats at home.
She wanted to give them something to care for, something to do, something they could count on, something that they could keep in their house.
SchULMAN'S HISTORYAs a child, Schulsman was diagnosed at age 9 with an incurable form of breast cancer, and her mother, Diane, a social worker, couldn't afford to care.
At the age of 11, Schullmans mother passed away from ovarian cancer.
"My mom was in a wheelchair, and my father didn't have much money," Schullman says.
Schulsman spent most of her time caring for Schul-mans father, who had terminal cancer.
Her mother died at age 46, and Schulings father, now 62, passed away at age 74.
She said it was difficult to care, but she wanted to make sure the children had a stable home.
Schullmans parents had to move out, but Schulions mother kept in touch with Schulshem and her two younger sisters.
Schulzman is a graduate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Her master's degree was in biology, but her doctorate was in veterinary medicine.
She worked as a veterinary technician for about two years, and after her veterinary school experience, she joined the staff of the Animal Crossing Cat Rescue.
Schuli-mans mother died when Schulhers was about 11 years old.
Schulders older sister, Lisa, was the first to adopt Schuls cats, but Lisa says she and Schulz-mans oldest sister, Linda, would often stay home with Schuli- mans cats and dogs.
"Lisa always loved animals," Schulzman says, "and we would always spend time with them and take them to the park and to the beach and just spend time together."
Lisa says Schulher's first cat was named Kitty, and that she and her sister have several other cats as well.
Schulu-mans older sister says Schuli was a good dog, and when Schuli had kittens, Schuli would give them toys and treats,

Signature Theatre Dying City
By Genie Baskir • Oct 9th, 2012 • Category: Reviews
Dying City
Signature Theatre, Arlington, VA
Through November 25th
$47.10-$79.90 includes service charge
Reviewed October 6th, 2012
Kelly and Peter have each lost their other half: Kelly, her husband, Craig; Peter, his identical twin brother, Craig. It seems that Craig's death in Iraq was not in combat. Later it will come out that Craig committed suicide during a target training exercise. If this seems a spoiler, it is impossible to critique this impractical effort by a recognized contemporary playwright without taking him to task for his lack of due diligence in crafting an accurate story and betraying a spoiler to clarify the point.
Dying City by Christopher Shinn makes its Washington, D.C. area première at The ARK at Signature Theatre. This peek behind closed doors purportedly studies the effects of a foreign war perpetrated on and by the upper middle class; but really its composition is the result of a marketing effort demanding the writing of made to measure characters for the specific audience that will pay outrageous and inflated ticket (never mind the punishing service charges on the ticket sales) prices for a one hour live episode of yuppie melodrama. That being said, this play is good because of sublime performances by Thomas Keegan and Rachel Zampelli. Though Zampelli seems to err on the kvetchy side as an actress, here the kvetch works for her as her life descends into bathos when her air sucking brother-in-law shows up unannounced on the evening of the anniversary of her husband's death in the Iraq War.
Is there no one who hasn't gone to Harvard?!!! Every contemporary story today is about H-bombs and their icky lives. Who cares? In real life everyone wants to go to Harvard because it is believed that a Harvard degree is a ticket to a golden life and the tschotschkes to trick it out. In theatre and literature H-bomb status just means that life descends into Job like misery so the 47% mooching class can have its exercise in schadenfreude. It is, after all, H-bomb economists and finance experts idolizing at the fount of the University of Chicago who broke the country in 2008; near or before the time that this play takes place. Kelly (Zampelli) and husband, Craig (Keegan) are H-bombs on the road to the golden ticket. Kelly is a most unlikely therapist in that she needs to get therapy more than she needs to offer it. Craig was a Faulkner scholar on the road to a doctorate. So, how does he end up in Iraq? The storyline is to have him participate in ROTC in order to be able to afford Harvard after which he is obliged to serve in the army in order pay back ROTC for his education. However, Harvard booted ROTC off the campus during the Vietnam War and only invited it back in 2012. The only way Craig could have participated in ROTC would have been by ambling east on Massachusetts Avenue to the other game in town, MIT. This may be a minor point, but it's indicative of the laziness in constructing this narrative because Harvard's antipathy to any endeavor defense related reaches back more than four decades in the recent past. This is not classified information. Because Harvard is a needs blind institution with an endowment that can support a medium-sized nation, it can bear the cost on its own to support a Faulkner scholar's dissertation because this country is in great need of more of them. This play would have more credence and drama if Kelly and Craig just attended highly regarded unnamed universities and the sadness would resonate with an audience that actually wants to sympathize with the plight of these people. There can be no sympathy for this lot as they're written because the back story inspires either envy or derision, not sympathy. If I went to Harvard I could be miserable in that great apartment too. However, maybe sympathy is not intended; in which case, never mind and please disregard this last paragraph.
The setup really focuses on Peter (also Keegan), who shows up at Kelly's door late at night. Whereas Craig was an upright, most straight arrow sort of guy, Peter is a mincing and fey Peter Pan actor breathlessly prattling on about how handsome everyone thinks he is and how famous he is. It is certain he is famous because he declines to go talk to his younger lover's students because his presence in the school would just disrupt everything and he would waste everyone's day basking in his reflected star light signing autographs and posing for pictures with God and everyone. Peter is in New York now because he is a principal in a currently running hit show. We can tell it's New York because the set is recycled from God of Carnage, another Signature Theatre show about self-absorbed New Yorkers. Anyway, Peter just broke up with one male lover because he was still carrying on with the previous lover and now a fellow cast member is seen fellating Peter backstage between scenes and Peter is in deep sh*t and he doesn't know what to do so he walks off the play between acts and shows up unannounced at Kelly's so he can force TMI on her. How conceited is that? Which is precisely the point of the show: Peter's conceit and his inability to consider anyone else and Craig's enabling of his twin brother's vanities, even in death.
Kelly and Peter are mourning the perfect Craig, but Craig devolves into more and greater imperfection as the two survivors remember him. Kelly is desultory throughout her scenes with Peter. It is supposed to seem that she is mourning the anniversary of Craig's death, but her purposelessness is repeated in the flashbacks of her life with Craig before he deployed and it becomes apparent that their marriage failed them both upon saying, "I do." Kelly really stopped mourning on the evening she was apprised of Craig's death and her life only took on meaning at that moment, because widowhood, in this case, became liberation with survivor benefits. Craig and Peter are really two sides of the same coin and Peter's insistence on barging back into Kelly's life just as she is embarking upon a new life altogether sends her over the edge into self-awareness of history repeating itself and it is most satisfying, indeed, when she throws him out and resumes packing up her things to move far away. There is a whole lot of in and out door activity as Keegan goes through to quick change between Peter and Craig. He is superb as he changes his mien between the two distinctly different men of the same face and body. Keegan and Zampelli spend the hour in a Sanford Meisner technique repetition exercise moment facing and reacting to one another whether Keegan is Craig or he is Peter. This is very compelling; which is why the Harvard and ROTC shtick is so egregious; it's just not necessary to illustrate the essential characters of the principals. Kelly didn't deserve either Craig or Peter because she was better than both of them and the two men spend their time together in one body punishing Kelly for this. The Iraq War is not essential to Craig's death and imbues it with no more meaning than if Craig had just jumped into a grain silo containing some esoteric heirloom kernel grown for and sold to Harvard graduates in New York City. Either way, he has died and Kelly's life can begin because both Craig and Peter were nullifying her. In order to craft made to measure characters for the creative class the playwright must have felt that he had to indulge this privileged audience by pretending to larger meaning by commingling its one percent characters with the plight of the left behind for whom the United States Armed Forces and its adventures may be the only future. Aren't we all one hundred percenters now? But, in the end, the story of the characters, exclusive of the war details, is compelling on its face and Keegan and Zampelli are masterful in their collective presentation. All that can be said about Director Matthew Gardiner, after reading his meshuganah Director's note, is that he knows what he's doing as a director even if he's describing an entirely different play than the one being presented here.
The sardonic reality is that the United States as a nation no longer goes to war. Certain strata of the population deploy and engage in some President's foolish adventure while everyone else falls into cynical self-satisfaction and gets its news from Jon Stewart. There is no longer any collective suffering in war. Most of us don't even realize that our nation is at war and certainly there is no equality of war deprivations small or large or even at all. The last bout of collective suffering produced such euphoria at its official end that the most iconic photograph of that age is now being written about as a potential sexual assault by over privileged snarks whose worst life experience was getting a B in middle school science. How have we come to this; and is this an advancement for civilization or a throwback to a prior age when it was expected that the haves would plunder the have-nots when they weren't using them for cannon fodder? Playwright Shinn is commendably looking for something larger than one percent privilege to drive the detachment of the principals but he errs in its execution by getting the small details wrong. Privileged Presidential candidate H-bomb John Kerry volunteered for action in Vietnam, was wounded, earned decorations and awards for valor and got himself libeled by the same madcap adventurers that assured Craig's death in Iraq. Privileged Presidential candidate H-bomb Willard Mitt Romney took a military deferment from Vietnam on religious grounds and spent that war living in a château and bicycling around France trying to evangelize the French to forswear their wine, coffee and Gauloise's. He campaigns for executive office on a platform that includes rattling swords at nations that want no part of a war with the United States because he has not been to war. People like him no longer have to fight and neither does the audience for this show. That's the play that needs to be written; custom fit for the audience for whom war is a news report and not a daily fact of life. Shinn can do it because he can convey the distress and nightmare that war wreaks on its combatants, but Dying City is not that play.
Christopher Shinn's intimate story feels perfect at this time and for the ARK Theatre. Shinn is a playwright whose stories take place behind closed doors and are deeply private-but he is able to explore these intimate stories within the context of the vast, messy and uncontrollable outside world.
In Dying City, Shinn is exploring the idea of War; not just the wars fought by countries with guns, but the wars fought in our own homes. He is specifically looking at the violence that hides in our everyday lives, the violence that we inflict on those we love-while ingeniously setting this idea against the much larger backdrop of the Iraq War. While today this war may seem to be dying out, it is a war that we are still dealing with on a deeply personal level-one that may be hard for many of us to recognize. Shinn poses fascinating questions about what make us inherently violent; what deep-rooted parts of our history, both personally and as Americans, shape our personal acts of violence and betrayal-and at the same time how violence is at our core as human beings.

A terrible incident from Nalasopara area of the city was reported where a 20-year-old boy attacked his parents while they were sleeping with screwdriver, knife.
The boy, Janmesh lived with his parents' father Narendra Pawar (53) and mother Narmada (50) in the Imperial Towers at Nalasopara. The boy is a college student and works part-time as a stockbroker, his father is a stockbroker to. According to reports, the boy has attacked the parents because of an argument which happened over losing 38,000 of a client.
"The three were having dinner on Monday when father and son got into an argument, with Narendra saying that his son's wrong advice led to a client losing Rs 38,000 in the stock market. Pawar was asking Narendra to help him compensate the client," said Kerubhau Kolhe, Nalasopara police inspector.
The police reported that after the parents have gone to sleep after dinner. The boy went to their room at 3:30 pm at night and hit his father with the hammer on the head while saving her husband the mother bumped in and was stabbed with the kitchen knife. The boy's father managed to call his relatives from the nearby area. They came an admitted them to KEM hospital.
The condition of the parents is highly critical and they are battling for their lives in the hospital.

The police have sent the clothes, hammer and knife for forensic analysis. They have registered a case under Section 307 (attempt to murder) and 506 (criminal intimidation).


1. Deriving daily, seasonal, and monthly water consumption by vegetation (agricultural and range land) in Southern Great Plains from MODIS data using Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS). 2. Developing evaporation and transpiration components of the crop water using the Two Source Model (TSM) for selected locations using Landsat TM/ETM+ data in the Southern Great Plains.
Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) will be used for mapping ET with a daily, monthly, and seasonal time-step with both MODIS (250-1000 m) and Landsat 5 TM (30-120 m) satellite data. Remote sensing database will be screened to remove images with cloud cover. We will use MODIS and Landsat TM/ETM+ data acquired during 2000-2009 for estimating daily, monthly, and seasonal ET maps. MODIS images will be used for mapping ET for the entire study area. However, the Landsat TM data will be used for locations where high resolution ET data is needed for site-specific full life cycle analysis. We will use weather and reference ET data from the Texas High Plains ET (TXHPET) network for the Texas High Plains, University of Oklahoma's Mesonet data for Oklahoma. Selection of the reference ET stations will be based on the quality of the data and locations. Two Source Model (TSM) model will be applied on the Landsat data to derive evaporation and transpiration maps separately. Since ground observations (lysimetric measurements) of ET for assessing the accuracy are available only for the Texas High Plains, vigorous accuracy assessment of ET maps will be done for that region only. For Oklahoma and Kansas regions of the Southern High Plains, SEBS-based ET maps as observations in evaluating TSM-based evaporation and transpiration maps. MODIS-based ET maps will be evaluated using the Landsat-based ET maps as high-resolution Landsat data most likely to yield relatively accurate ET maps. SEBS and TSM will be evaluated by comparing daily ET against lysimetric measurements.

Q: What are the conditions when a 2D memory instantiated in Verilog is mapped to BRAM by ISE? Upon searching in multiple forums, I did not find a comprehensive answer.
I would like to understand, when does [PARAM1:0] ram [PARAM2:0] inferred as a Block RAM by the ISE synthesizer and when it is not?

A: This list of conditions might be incomplete:

*

*Size
If the memory is to small, ISE will use a distibuted RAM (LUT-RAM) instead of a BlockRAM. The size / area of your memory must be mapable to a single or group of BlockRAMs. A single BlockRAMs can have 8,9,16,18,32,36,64,72 bits per data port. Other sizes are possible if the number of memory lines matches.

*Ports
BlockRAM supports:

*

*single-port (SP),

*simple-dual-port (SDP),

*enhanced-simple-dual-port (ESDP) and

*true-dual-port (TDP)

memories. Combinations with one write port and n read ports a also possible.

*Reset
BlockRAMs don't support resets. So if you memory can be reset, if can be inferred as BRAM.

*ClockEnable (CE), Write-Enable (WE), Byte-Write-Enable (BWE)
BlockRAMs support CE and WE, but usually no BWE.

*Timing
The memory must be synchronously written and either synchronously read or asynchronously read with from a registered address.

*Output Registers (OUT_REG)
Output registers are optional, but improve the overall timing. The synthesizer might move the OUT_REG from logic into the BlockRAM, which has embedded output registers.

Our open-source library PoC contains 4 possible on-chip RAM implementations written in generic VHDL code, which can be mapped to Xilinx BlockRAMs. I assume you can read and understand these VHDL snippets, to translate it into Verilog code :). Alternatively, Xilinx offers a synthesis guide (UG 626, v14.4, p. 73)), which lists VHDL and Verilog design patterns of synthesizable code.


Less religion, more emphasis on the art and science of magick. Rituals are generally complex and practices lean towards the esoteric side of Wicca. Not geared towards the solitary practitioner, but can easily be adapted for those who choose to work alone.
Uses a great deal of Ceremonial Magick in practices. Mostly derived from the works of Aleister Crowley. Detailed rituals with a flavor of Egyptian magick are popular, as Qabalistic ritual forms.
