Maybe you moved into a house that already had a back yard that looked like it hadn't been touched in decades. Perhaps it literally hadn't been touched in decades, who knows? Nevertheless, it's nothing to do with you - though, of course, you're going to be the one responsible for bringing it back to life.
Maybe it is your fault. Maybe life got on top of you and what was once a usable and enjoyable outdoor space is now resembling a section of forest that has gone undisturbed for centuries. No judgement here; it happens, and there's plenty of good reasons why regular garden upkeep sometimes has to fall by the wayside.
Either way, you're now faced with the task of grabbing back your outside space from the weeds and general debris that have made it their own. You want to be able to glance out over your backward-facing windows without wincing at the mess that's out there. You want to be able to go and sit outdoors when the weather is nice, or let your pets out to play without fear of what they will bring back in with them. So how do you go about dragging your garden back from the control of nature?
By far the most effective way to kick off the process is to kill all of the weeds and overgrowth in one go. Grab yourself a pump weedkiller spray dispenser, don some protective clothing, then get out there and spray everything in sight. Leave it for a week to sink in, and soon you should become to see all of the bad, unsightly growth die off.
Of course, you need to remember with this tactic that there's a good chance it's going to kill off everything else in the garden too. This might not be a problem if you want to start from scratch. If, however, there are some plants you want to protect, you might want to wrap them in trash bags and be very careful about spraying the ground anywhere near them.
When the weeds are dead, you can leave them to mulch down - but it's a long process that will take at least a couple of summers. By far your best bet will be to hire affordable skip bins and wade into the now-extinct weeds, disposing of them in one afternoon of hard labor. It's not going to be a pleasant experience and you need to wear protective clothing, but it's going to get the job done and leave you with a blank canvas.
You did; well, you killed the topmost layer of weeds anyway. As you go in and clean off the bulk growth, you will doubtless find plenty of smaller weeds that escaped your wrath the first time. You have a few options for dealing with these. The first is simple; more weed killer and another cleaning job. The second is simpler but just as effective; use a weed burner to get rid of the last survivors.
Just remember, using chemical weedkillers is by far the most efficient method, but it might taint the soil for future growth. When it comes to creating your new garden, you will find raised beds a far better option than anything planted directly into the ground.

In Africa la musica tradizionale (ma non solo) è caratterizzata dall'utilizzo di particolari strumenti musicali, spesso prodotti con materiali naturali come zucche, corna, pelli, conchiglie anche se attualmente è in uso una vasta tipologia di materiali artificiali, perlopiù in alluminio o in metallo come lattine, stringhe, tappi di bottiglia, bidoni.

Oltre agli strumenti in senso proprio, una serie di oggetti, che pur non essendo classificabili come strumenti, vengono di fatto suonati e definiti da queste stesse popolazioni come "strumenti ritmici", come sonagli, pendagli, fischietti, bracciali, conchiglie. Larghissimo uso hanno infine le campane, di diverse dimensioni e materiali.

Maryvale Park replacement windows can improve the home's security and function to keep families safe in this urban village of west Phoenix, AZ. The city is divided into 15 urban villages with their own planning committees whose goal is to balance housing and employment. Maryvale Park is a low cost-of-living area with various housing options including apartments and single family dwellings.
Maryvale Park replacement windows are long-lasting investments in the the home's value and function. Well functioning Phoenix windows can cut down on high air conditioning and electric bills, and they can improve the appearance of a house. They also make the home more marketable and can earn the owners a higher resale value.
Maryvale Park residents should also consider security when selecting replacement windows. Shatter-resistant glass, efficient locks and other safety measures will keep a family and its valuables secure by preventing break-ins. No one wants to consider that a family's belongings and home could be threatened, but it is best to be proactive.
Windows and doors are a home's most vulnerable points for break-ins. Maryvale Park replacement windows can be made to be impact-resistant to deter would-be intruders. Heavy-duty screens, shatter-resistant glass and strong locks are all features to consider.
Security screens can prevent Maryvale Park replacement windows from becoming points of forced entry. Made of steel rather than the aluminum or fiberglass typical of insect screens, Arizona security window screens are a strong mesh that resist cutting and the pressure of body weight. These can be coated to resemble regular insect screens so they minimally impact the outward appearance of the house. Security screens are a much more attractive alternative to ugly security bars and grates.
Do-it-yourself installation of security screens is a project that can yield huge savings. Security screens are permanently mounted, unlike insect screens that can be removed. They should be hinged on one side and latched from the inside. This way, they can be opened from the inside in an emergency like a fire, but they still keep intruders out.
Many manufacturers produce a film that can be installed on Maryvale Park replacement windows to make them shatter-resistant. These films hold the shards of glass together when a window is broken. Like a windshield, the glass cracks into a web but stays intact. When the glass is securely mounted in its frame, an intruder will not be able to penetrate the broken glass, and the family stays safe from injury caused by broken glass.
Keeping Maryvale Park replacement windows locked is important in securing the home. Many intruders will not bother breaking a window to avoid attracting attention, but an unlocked window is an invitation for burglary. Window latches and locks made of metal are usually more secure than those made of plastic, and keyed locks are great for Maryvale Park families with small children. Leave the key near the window, however, in case of emergency. For a quick fix, place a dowel in the space above the bottom pane of a sash or sliding window so it cannot be forced open.
When shopping for Maryvale Park replacement windows, look for quality dealers and contractors to get the best product and the best installation in AZ. Many dealers handle the transaction from beginning to end. They help homeowners select a product, give estimates and provide installation. This route can save the time and hassle of finding a Maryvale Park contractor, and could save money as well.
Look for Maryvale Park contractors who are licensed, bonded and insured. These are all indicators of expertise and accountability. Check that the company is in good standing with the Better Business Bureau, who can tell you if customers have had significant complaints. Word-of-mouth referrals are also valuable, so ask around about dealers of Maryvale Park replacement windows.
A contractor or dealer who is licensed has been trained in the skills of the trade and has passed a competency test to obtain that Arizona license. If a customer has a complaint regarding poor workmanship, theft or illegal practices, the licensing organization can hold the contractor accountable. Customers have no recourse, aside from a lawsuit, against unlicensed contractors. Bonded contractors have an Arizona state-managed account with a bonding company that will pay clients if a contractor is found responsible for theft or costly damage.
Get an in-home estimate before committing to a Maryvale Park dealer. If the price doesn't sound right, get a second or third opinion. Maryvale Park replacement windows are significant investments, so take the time to get the best deal for the best replacement. Once you have selected the right replacement windows for your home, find out how long the warranty lasts and how long the manufacturer has been in business, since a lifetime warranty on replacement windows is useless if the company goes under.

This is actually a question from EK physics exam 1, question 6.
Since cos(30)=0.86 is greater than cos(45)=0.71, why would 45 give a further distance than 30?
Are we talking about distance in the x direction or y direction?
Assuming distance in the x direction, then: d=(cos Vx)(t). Clearly from this equation there is a direct coorelation between the magnitude of vector Vx and d, therefore the higher values for cos should be the answer. If we think about this conceptually, throwing a pitch side arm almost parallel to the ground (for max value of cos=1 at angle of 0 degrees) would yield a further x distance than throwing it up in the air at a lesser angle--assuming equal velocities, of course.
According to your explanation then throwing it at a 30 degree angle would be better than throwing it at a 45 degree angle, which is just untrue. We want to look at both horizontal and vertical velocities because the vertical velocity will dictate time of flight.
A projectile is launched at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. It's initial velocity is 20m/s. How far does it travel?
Now, do the same problem with a 45 degree angle.
Well, what about a 60 degree angle?
A 45 degree angle is clearly the magic angle that maximizes travel time and distance.
Clearly you want to maximize the product of cos(x) and sin (x) to get the maximum displacement.
and since sin(x) reaches a max at 90° the equation V² / a * sin (2x) reaches a maximum at 45°.
Of course this all assumes zero vertical displacement.
If you use 30 degree, then projectile will land too soon comparing to 45 deg., which aka. less distance. You can also confirm the answer by setup a right triangle, and figure out what angles make the longest hypotenuse.
A high angle would give you a high value for time(e.g. sin(60)), but it would give you a small velocity since the velocity of a projectile is related to the cosine of the angle(e.g. cos(60)).
The magical mix, where velocity x time is maximum, occurs at 45 degrees, when cosine = sine.
This is a similar train of thought as why a square will have a larger area than a rectangle with an identical perimeter, or why 5x5 > 4x6 > 3x7 > 2x8....etc.
increasing the angle will increase the time and vertical displacement of the projectile motion as these components depend on sine.
horizontal displacement depends on both sine and cosine. thus, at 45 degrees you get the optimal angle for maximum horizontal displacement.
i hate physics. but as everyone said ahead of me just simplified, keep in mind that velocities of objects in the x and y directions independently of each other and 45 degrees gives you the best ratio of velocity in y direction (important for keeping the ball, bullet, cannonball, kitten with cancer etc in flight for a longer length of time) to velocity in the X direction resulting in the furthest distance traveled.
I agree, it is about a optimal combination of vertical and horizontal velocities.
The higher it goes, the longer it takes for it to fall to the ground, but the more velocity you give it in the vertical direction, the less velocity it has to go horizontally.
Horizontal velocity stays constant through the trajectory (ignoring air resistance), but the acceleration downwards (gravity) pulls the object down, and once it hits the ground, it obviously aint going anywhere.

The Patriot Post® · Friend of Donald Trump Wins 7th Super Bowl
By Douglas Andrews · February 8, 2021
https://patriotpost.us/articles/77588-friend-of-donald-trump-wins-7th-super-bowl-2021-02-08
We know what you're thinking: Screw the NFL and every other repulsively woke professional sports league. And we can't disagree. But for a moment, can we agree to set all that aside and celebrate Tom Brady, a singular American athlete, the likes of whom we will never see again?
Would it help if we told you he was a supporter of Donald Trump?
Okay, then. Last night, the 43-year-old Brady, who until this year had played his entire NFL career with one team, the New England Patriots, took a 7-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers team and willed them to a 15-5 record, an eight-game winning streak including three straight road playoff wins, and a 31-9 win in the 55th Super Bowl over the favored Kansas City Chiefs — a win that, as luck would have it, was played at home in Tampa Bay. In doing so, Brady bested two certain Hall of Fame quarterbacks – New Orleans's Drew Brees and Green Bay's Aaron Rogers – and one, Mahomes, who also seems destined for Canton.
There, in front of 25,000 football fans and 30,000 ridiculous COVID cutouts, the old man who many thought represented the NFL's past squared off against a 25-year-old quarterback, KC's Patrick Mahomes, who everyone agrees is the NFL's future. And the old man won, resoundingly, and earned his seventh Super Bowl ring and his fifth Super Bowl MVP trophy.
Before Brady arrived, the Buccaneers were perennial losers. But for a short-lived shining moment when they won the 2003 Super Bowl, the Bucs had amassed the worst career winning percentage among professional sports teams. Brady, for his part, is the individual athlete with the best winning percentage in team sports.
Obviously, something had to give. And it wasn't Brady. His teammates bought in to Brady's will, his work ethic, and his culture of excellence. This is how we win, Brady seemed to say. And he made it so.
For a sense of what Brady achieved last night, consider this: One of his teammates, Antoine Winfield Jr., is the son of a former NLFer who Brady competed against both in college and as a pro. Or consider this: Mahomes, the quarterback he beat, was just six years old when Brady won his first Super Bowl, and Mahomes's dad is just seven years older than Brady. Or this: Brady's offensive coordinator, Byron Leftwich, began his NFL quarterbacking career three years after Brady did, played nine years in the league, and still retired nearly a decade before Brady will one day hang 'em up.
As for the record books, Brady has pushed all the meaningful numbers beyond reach. For example, only two other quarterbacks — Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers — have even four Super Bowl rings. Indeed, Brady the individual has won more Super Bowls than any other NFL team, and has won more Super Bowls than 18 NFL teams COMBINED.
Brady's individual stats are every bit as eye-popping, even if they've never been what drives him. What drives him is winning, and no one in team sports — with the possible exception of the Boston Celtics' great center, Bill Russell, who played in an NBA league with far fewer teams and therefore a far greater chance of winning championships — has ever done it better than Brady.
The seeds of greatness were there to be seen back in the 2000 Orange Bowl when, as a senior quarterback at Michigan, he twice brought the Wolverines back from 14-point deficits to beat an excellent Alabama team. Still, nobody in the NFL wanted Tom Brady. Really. Tom Brady, the guy who is arguably the greatest athlete in the history of American team sports, wasn't the first quarterback picked in the 2000 NFL Draft. Nor the second. Nor the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth. Tom Brady was the seventh QB and the 199th player picked in that draft. ("The Brady 6" is a superb sports documentary and a fascinating glimpse into what makes Brady who he is. If you're in a big hurry, skip ahead to the 40-minute mark and watch the next two minutes.)
Brady has taken some shots during his career, perhaps none of them cheaper than the one thrown around regularly by hate-filled leftists and mainstream media types. These tiny folks can't seem to accept the fact that Tom Brady is a friend of former President Donald Trump, and he has been since around 2002. When Trump first campaigned in 2016, Brady was seen with a MAGA hat in his locker, and the intolerant Left has never let him forget it. In their eyes Brady is, like 74 million other Americans, a deplorable.
Those who admire both Brady and Trump must've taken special satisfaction at the way last night's event played out. What better dish to serve up to the haters than a heaping helping of humble pie?
When asked last Monday about whether "being white" had given him a pass for the offense of being a friend of Trump, Brady said, "I'm not sure how to respond to [a] hypothetical like that. I hope everyone can — we're in this position like I am to, again, try to be the best I can be every day as an athlete, as a player, as a person in my community, for my team and so forth, so yeah, I'm not sure what else."
It reminds one of the thoughtfulness with which he answered a question many years ago about his relative physical limitations — his lack of strength, his lack of foot speed, his poor vertical jump, and his average arm strength. Back then, Brady said, matter-of-factly, "It's not really what my skill set is, but fortunately for me, that's not what quarterbacking is about either."
That's fortunate for Brady's now-Super Bowl champion teammates, too. "All week," said Tampa Bay running back Leonard Fournette, "he made us believe we were going to win. He was texting us at 11 o'clock at night, 'We will win this game.' We believe in him. … We just ran with it."
So they do. And so they did.

Indian Authorities Drain Entire Lake After Woman With HIV Was Found Dead In It.
in Food and Health, Shocking, World Buzz
How Africa December 6, 2018, 3:45 pm 1 Comment
Indian authorities said they have been busy pumping water out of a sprawling lake in the south of the country in an effort to allay local villagers' fears that it was contaminated after the discovery of the body of a woman infected with HIV a week ago.
The lake near the village of Morab in Karnataka, about 440 km (273 miles) from the state's capital of Bengaluru, covers 32 acres (13 hectares).
The drainage operation has run for the last four days and fresh water from a nearby canal will be used to replenish the lake over the next four to five days, said Naveen Hullur, who is in charge of the area.
The lake is a key source of drinking water for more than 1,000 people who live in the drought-affected region and earn their livelihoods by farming the surrounding land.
According to the local official, although the virus is usually transmitted through sexual intercourse, infected blood and from an infected mother to the baby in her womb or through breastfeeding, the villagers' alarm at the discovery a week ago drove the demand for the lake to be drained.
'We tried our best to assure the villagers that we would get the water tested, but they did not budge and even refused to come near the lake,' Hullur added.

Does your company use a human resources management system?
Human resources management systems (also known as human resources information systems) exist "at the intersection between human resource management and information technology." Usually, this means taking previously disparate HR information and automatically integrating it in such a way that users can gain a clearer picture of what is happening in the company—in a more efficient way than if HR had to gather all of the information from its various sources, and analyze it manually. This diverse information includes payroll, work hours and overtime, benefits administration, recruiting and development, training and learning, performance records and more. You've probably already automated one or more of these services, either internally or via an external service provider; companies commonly outsource payroll and benefits functions, for example. But even so, can you imagine what you could do if all of those functions were integrated and all of that information could be compared with little effort? That's the promise of human resources management systems. Read the whole story on HRinfodesk.com.

Cybersquatting is Only Going to Get Worse – Are You Prepared?
It was recently reported by Cyveillance, a leader in cyber intelligence reporting, that suspicious domain registrations have increased for corporations. However, cybersquatting, typosquatting, and other forms of cyberpiracy do not only plague "large enterprises" with "master brands." Cybersquatting effects all types of entities - from the individual business owner with a common law trademark, to the mid-sized company with newly established trademarks and multiple domain name registrations, to the mega-corporations with hundreds or thousands of domain name registrations and trademark registrations with the USPTO and internationally. Cyveillance's report simply confirms that which these entities should already know – cybersquatting is a growing problem that requires careful attention.
As many of you know, American Idol is hosting Dolly Parton week, which means your favorite idols will be crooning to their favorite Dolly Parton tunes. We thought we would take this opportunity to list some of the most blatant cybersquatters on Dolly Parton's famous name (which, of course, are protected under both trademark law and the UDRP) and official web site www.dollyparton.com.
www.dolly-parton.com (re-direct to www.any-web.com/main.asp?SiteID=DOLLY-PARTON.COM which displays links to on-line vendors of Dolly Parton music and wares).
There are more cyber-squatters on the Dolly Parton name, but this will give you an idea about what cybersquatting sites look like and how common squatting occurs. You might ask "What is the difference between American Idol using the Parton name and the sites above?" American Idol, and its contestants, have permission to leverage the Dolly Parton name. Cybersquatters do not. They lurk in the shadows of the internet, hoping no one will notice their theft of internet traffic and adword revenue.

Not only can multiple UDRP decisions against a particular domain name registrant (respondent) evidence domain warehousing, or the practice of registering multiple domain names incorporating the valuable trademarks of others, but such decisions can be used as evidence of bad faith in other UDRP proceedings or in ACPA litigation. It is critical to know who the registrant is, what other domains it owns or have owned, and how to best approach your particular domain name dispute.
World's Dumbest Domain Cybersquatter Revealed!
Popular industry blog ReadWriteWeb is in the midst of an escalating battle over their rights to the brand name, and URL extensions. As noted at the ReadWriteWeb blog, a cybersquattor by the name of Vladislav Sobolev from Russia registered ReadWriteWeb.mobi then engaged in an extensive email exchange about his registration with the owner of ReadWriteWeb, Richard McManus. Mr. Sobolev's emails seek to show off his expertise in cybersquatting matters and trademark law, thereby establishing his rightful claim to the ReadWriteWeb.mobi domain. Instead, Mr. Sobolev establishes with surgical precision that he is in fact cybersquatting on the ReadWriteWeb domain in violation of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Policy (UDRP) and Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA).
Mr. Sobolev's emails are typical of what our lawyers refer to as the ignorant cybersquatter; someone who intentionally registers known trademarks and brands without any real understanding of domain name law under the UDRP or the ACPA. But Sobolev sets the mark. We think you will agree that Mr. Sobolev in his own endearing and vociferous way has earned the title as "The World's Dumbest Cybersquatter."
When we first read the story at WebSite magazine blog and then followed the link over to ReadWriteWeb, we could not believe the ever-increasing levels of cybersquatting stupidity exhibited by Sobolev. After considering our options, we not help but to take this opportunity (tongue-in- cheek as it may be) to help educate and inform about the growing cybersquatting problem. Perhaps posts like this will save some other poor soul from paying his $15 registration fee for domain variations of someone else's trademarks based on erroneous information.
Using The World's Dumbest Cybersquatter as our trusted guide, we give you no less than 12 pitfalls to avoid when cybersquatting on someone else's domain. Our message to would-be cybersquatters is simple. If you are going to engage in theft, don't seek out the homeowner so you can show him the loot and hand him a note admitting all the elements of the crime.

The Milky Way (1969 film)
Milky Way (disambiguation)
Milky Way (chocolate bar)
Milky Way (2000 film)
Milky Way (song)
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. Its name "milky" is derived from its appearance as a dim glowing band arching across the night sky whose individual stars cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The term "Milky Way" is a translation of the Latin via lactea, from the Greek γαλαξίας κύκλος (galaxías kýklos, "milky circle"). From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis, observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies—now estimated to number as many as 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that has a diameter usually considered to be about 100,000–120,000 light-years but may be 150,000–180,000 light-years. The Milky Way is estimated to contain 100–400 billion stars, although this number may be as high as one trillion. There are probably at least 100 billion planets in the Milky Way. The Solar System is located within the disk, about 27,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, on the inner edge of one of the spiral-shaped concentrations of gas and dust called the Orion Arm. The stars in the inner ≈10,000 light-years form a bulge and one or more bars that radiate from the bulge. The very center is marked by an intense radio source, named Sagittarius A*, which is likely to be a supermassive black hole.

The Milky Way (French: La Voie lactée) is a 1969 film directed by Luis Buñuel. It stars Laurent Terzieff, Paul Frankeur, Delphine Seyrig, Georges Marchal and Michel Piccoli. Buñuel later called The Milky Way the first in a trilogy (along with The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Phantom of Liberty) about "the search for truth."
The title of the film comes from the fact that original name for the Milky Way was the Way of St. James which directed pilgrims from northern Europe to Spain.
Today, critical reception for The Milky Way is strongly positive.
In the film, two men travel the ancient pilgrimage road to Santiago de Compostela and meet embodiments of various Catholic heresies along the way. These religious events are based on actual historical documents. For instance, the archbishop whose corpse is exhumed and publicly burned is based on Archbishop Carranza of Toledo. The film ends with the following text:
The Milky Way plays with time. The two main characters often encounter individuals in the dress of various time periods throughout history, or historical events take place in the modern setting of the film, including scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. In his autobiography, Buñuel explains that he wanted to put Jesus Christ in the film because he "wanted to show him as an ordinary man, laughing, running, mistaking his way, preparing to shave — to show, in other words, all those aspects completely alien to our traditional iconography."

The Milky Way bar is a chocolate bar manufactured and distributed by the Mars confectionery company. The American version of the Milky Way bar is made of chocolate-malt nougat topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate and is very similar to the Mars bar sold in other countries. The non-US Milky Way bar, on the other hand, is not topped with caramel.
American version
The Milky Way bar was created in 1923 by Frank C. Mars and originally manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The name and taste were taken from a famed malted milk drink (milkshake) of the day – not the Earth's galaxy, as many contend.
On March 10, 1925, the Milky Way trademark was registered in the U.S., claiming a first-use date of 1922. In 1924, the Milky Way bar was introduced nationally and sold $800,000 that year. The chocolate for the chocolate coating was supplied by Hershey's.
By 1926 it came out in two flavors, chocolate nougat with milk chocolate coating, and vanilla nougat with a dark chocolate coating, each for a nickel. In June 1932, the Milky Way bar was sold as a two piece bar, but just four years later, in 1936, the chocolate and vanilla were separated. The vanilla version, with a dark chocolate coating, was called "Forever Yours" and it was produced until 1979. In 1989, Forever Yours was reintroduced and renamed "Milky Way Dark," and later "Milky Way Midnight".

The second annual Bayou Road Balloon Festival takes flight at Sidney D. Torres Memorial Park on Nov. 9, 10 and 11.
It promises to be an uplifting weekend in St. Bernard when the second annual Bayou Road Balloon Festival takes flight at Sidney D. Torres Memorial Park on Nov. 9, 10 and 11.
Coming off last year's inaugural success, the festival returns to Chalmette with even more family-fun features, highlighted by the addition of Kites & Lights, a special presentation by Kewl Kites of Long Beach, Mississippi.
Mike Zalaznik, the manager of the festival, said organizers are excited by this new offering.
"The hot air balloons are the centerpiece of this festival, but we are so excited to introduce a new, colorful feature that is going to be as much of a crowd pleaser as the balloons," Zalaznik said.
He said last year's event drew nearly 30,000 people to the festival grounds and with the continued support of its two main sponsors, the Meraux Foundation and Chalmette Refining, expectations are even higher.
"During the day, there will be exquisite kites on display, and then by late afternoon, weather and safety permitting, the hot air balloons will inflate, and tethered flights be available," Zalaznik said.
The event will also have a nightly balloon glow and more kites flying in the evening equipped with special LED lighting.
"It should make for a great closing act," Zalaznik said.
A dozen hot air balloon pilots from across the country are scheduled to participate at the Bayou Road Balloon Festival.
A dozen hot air balloon pilots from across the country are scheduled to participate, including Doug Gantt, who mans the Ham-let balloon, the world's largest flying pig.
And speaking of pork, this year attendees will also see something new to the area — the Big Taste Grill, an outdoor grill so big it has to be transported by an 18-wheel truck. This "ultimate outdoor grill" is 20-feet-tall and 65-feet-long with a lid that weighs 6,000 pounds, and will be used to serve Johnsonville's brat sausages.
The food court area will also house a dozen other food vendors at the event. Portions of the proceeds will benefit Nunez Community College and local educational initiatives.
The three-day festival also features live music throughout the weekend. Festival-goers can bring chairs and blankets and enjoy a variety of musical entertainment.
Crescent City Amusements will also be on hand, creating an expanded family-friendly carnival atmosphere with amusements, rides and games. There will also be an array of local artists, creating and selling their work on site.
The Bayou Road Balloon Festival is produced by the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans and the New Orleans Home & Garden Show. Zalaznik said St. Bernard's close proximity to the city and its booming housing market were factors in choosing the parish for the event, but it was the enthusiasms and cooperation of local leaders that sealed it.
The Bayou Balloon Festival will begin on Nov. 9, from 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday hours will be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Admission is $5 per day or $10 for a weekend pass. To purchase tickets, visit www.bayouroadballoonfestival.com/ticket. Tickets at the gate will be available, but only cash will be accepted.
Katie Tommaseo, the director of tourism and film for St Bernard Parish, said the balloon festival is a great addition to the parish's offerings.
"The Bayou Balloon Festival has become a major showcase of our community and culture while also enhancing the local economy," Tommaseo said.

Art, poetry and the natural world
Art in its expressive–affective capacity
Art and its relation to religion
The historical development of traditional aesthetic ideals

While the terms 'aesthetics' and 'philosophy' were only introduced into Japan during the Meiji Period (post 1868), Japanese culture has nevertheless witnessed the proliferation of various arts and theories of art for over a millenium. Given that 'aesthetics' generally connotes a scientific, often taxonomic approach to the inquiry into beauty and art, it may be preferable to consider Japanese art and theories of art from the perspective of different ways of artistry, rather than impose on it alien categories and assumptions. Even our understanding about what constitutes art must alter when we consider such arts as the production of incense, the tea ceremony, the martial arts or flower arrangement, most of which do not have precise analogues in the West; or if they do, are not considered arts alongside poetry, drama, music and painting.
One of the hallmarks of Japanese art is the emphasis on an awareness of nature. Not only is the natural world a rich storehouse of images and metaphors for use as subject matter, but it is also the means whereby the practices, values and aspirations of the art are defined. Significantly, art itself is seen to be catalysed directly by an encounter with the natural world. All living beings, we are told, are given to song. Yet the natural world also came to be a shibboleth in society among the members of the Japanese court, where a finely honed seasonal awareness came to attest to the refinement and sensibility of the individual. Of all the arts, poetry was seen as pre-eminent, in part because of poetry's powers to influence the spirits inherent in the natural world. Even the emphasis on place and place-names in Japanese art may be traced to an understanding of the Japanese landscape and language as sacredly imbued.
Another feature of Japanese art and theories of art is its orientation toward the human. In other words, we may define Japanese art as 'expressive–affective' in its configuration, stressing the experience of the artist as well as the response of the audience in encountering such a work. In fact, the two roles of artist and audience are related through the focus of the work of art, which usually frames a single moment and its quintessential significance, hon-i, which is unchanging. The quality which ideally characterizes both artist and audience is makoto or sincerity, underlining the point that the function of most Japanese art is to make us feel, rather than think.
As in a number of other traditions, Japanese ways of art are bound up inextricably with issues of religion and religious practice. Not only did Shintō animatism have a profound impact on how Japanese viewed their landscape as well as their own lives, but other imported systems of belief also influenced the course of artistic development, especially Buddhism. Buddhism darkened the hues of classical Japanese art by introducing ideas such as mappō (Latter Days of the Law), which saw the present as degraded and corrupt with respect to the past, and mujō (inconstancy), or the awareness of the ephemerality of this phenomenal world. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, art was perceived as a means of religious awakening, both in the case of poetry viewed as a form of intense meditation (shikan) and as parables whereby the truth could be disseminated obliquely (hōben). This paved the way for the pursuit of various forms of art to become a path (michi) to spiritual awareness. The relation of teacher and student in an art form closely resembled the relation of spiritual master to disciple, a feature which is echoed in the various 'secret' artistic treatises whose form, approach and significance suggest esoteric Buddhist manuals setting forth precepts for future generations.
Japanese theories of art also concerned themselves with various aesthetic ideals, distillations of the changing notion of beauty in each era. From aware (the beauty inherent in transience) and miyabi (courtly beauty) during the Heian Period (784–1185), to yūgen (the beauty of mystery and overtones) and sabi (the beauty of desolation and loneliness) in the medieval period, finally to wabi (the beauty of dearth and the humble) and karumi (the beauty of playful lightness) during the Edo Period (1600–1868), to mention only a few of the many ideals, we see an evolution of ideals as a response to cultural and historical change.
What becomes evident in any survey is the assumption of an underlying unity, as in the notions that the impulse toward art is natural and universal; that art functions as a bridge mediating the experience of artist and audience; that sincerity and heart are to be privileged above all other qualities; and that the discipline of art can be a means of spiritual awakening. But we also discover that ideas, such as play, are critical to all forms of art in Japan. Other issues have surfaced periodically in various art forms in the course of Japanese history, such as the struggle between tradition and innovation or the debate about art as spontaneous versus art as the product of careful cultivation (that is, the question of artifice in art), or the question of the singularity of Japanese art.

The artists in Paper into Sculpture, including Marco Maggi, Joshua Neustein, Nancy Rubins, and others, play on tensions between commonly held understandings of sculpture and what paper can and cannot do, pushed to physical limits. Treating paper as a material with a palpable three-dimensional presence rather than as a mere support for mark-making, they use processes ranging from tearing, crumpling, and cutting to scattering, binding and adhering to create sculptural works that take a variety of forms, with a varied range of expressive and conceptual implications.
Even as the shift to digitized images, virtual reality, and social media has been said to herald its obsolescence, paper nonetheless remains inescapable in our daily lives. Accessible to all, paper endures as the site of notes, lists, price tags, reminders, sketches, ads—at once the most mundane and the most intimate of communication media, and the most readily discarded. As concerns about humanity's impact on the environment intensify, paper is also one of the most persistent reminders of our connections to nature through the cyclical aspect of its creation, disposal, and regeneration through recycling. Derived largely from plant fibers, paper also ages and degrades, its fragility inspiring metaphorical associations with human corporeality and vulnerability.

In the U.S., there are about 80,000 registered chemicals. Of these, only a few hundred are actually tested for safety, and even that testing is considered inadequate by most toxicologists. Part of the problem is that most chemicals are tested in isolation. In real world application, however, most chemicals are combined with others, and the few studies done on synergetic effects reveal even nontoxic chemicals can become toxic when mixed together.
While there are many sources of chemical exposure, our food is a significant one, as most conventionally farmed foods are sprayed with pesticides. The chemical industry would have you believe pesticide residues on food is of no major concern.
Others vehemently disagree. To help parents sort out truth from myth, André Leu, former president of International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) and current international director of Regeneration International, wrote "Poisoning Our Children: The Parent's Guide to the Myths of Safe Pesticides."
In 2014, I interviewed him about his first book, "The Myths of Safe Pesticides," which reveals the vacuum of scientific evidence for the safety of pesticides. As noted by Leu, the safety of pesticides is "based on data-free assumptions."
"When I was researching data, I realized there's absolutely no scientific evidence at all about the safety of pesticides and other chemicals for our children. Yet, we have hundreds of scientific studies showing the damage that the smallest amount of pesticides can do. The fact is the science shows there's absolutely no safe level of these chemicals for children. I think it's very important for parents to learn about it and be aware of what the science says."
A key argument in his book is that the agricultural industry and global chemical industry have manipulated the system to control and suppress safety concerns. The process is called "regulatory capture." This is where the industry actually captures the regulators, and the regulators now work for the industry instead of working for the public. A number of toxic industries have used the same playbook to achieve this aim, including the tobacco, asbestos, lead and pesticide industries.
Part and parcel of this process is the revolving door between government and industry, where regulators are given high-paying jobs in the industry, and industry executives get hired as senior managers in regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where they start approving the products of their former company. "That is really a form of corruption," Leu says, "But we see this everywhere around the world. In every country I look at, the regulators are owned by the industry."
The tobacco industry really perfected the regulatory capture strategy, and other industries have boldly followed in its footsteps. Take lead, for example. It's now widely acknowledged that lead is a toxin that causes brain damage and lowers IQ. This recognition was largely the result of the tireless efforts of Clair Patterson, Ph.D., a geochemist who took on the oil companies, exposed the fraud being committed and pushed to get lead removed from gasoline. You can read more about this in "The Heroes Who Sunk Lead."
It's a classic example of how dangerous chemicals and metals can get introduced into the environment, primarily as the result of benefiting some large corporate infrastructure. It's also an inspiring example of how a single individual can change the whole system and protect millions from unnecessary harm.
Aside from regulatory capture, another strategy used by the chemical industry is to manipulate the legal limits for the toxin in question. This is crucial, because if you rig the game so that the limit is higher than it should be, the industry can contaminate the environment without taking a financial hit or having to make any changes to the product or sales strategy.
Part of manipulating the safety limits involve suppressing independent data that raise red flags. "There are lots of independent scientists and researchers. They publish in scientific journals. This is regarded as the gold standard in research. But this evidence gets suppressed," Leu says.
Instead, regulators take into account primarily studies submitted by the corporations themselves, and most of these studies are confidential, so the public — as well as other scientists and researchers — cannot access them. So, regulators make decisions on the safety of poisons in our food and environment based on data provided by the company selling the toxin, and no outsider can review that evidence.
"To me, that's another sign of corruption," Leu says. "If these were good studies, why are they frightened of a transparent and open system? Why don't they publish them and allow independent scientists to peer review them if that's the gold standard of science?"
The myth here, the general perception, is that we have objective federal regulatory agencies that do independent testing to validate the safety of the chemicals they permit. But that's not the case at all. The regulatory agencies rarely do any independent testing. Instead, they make assumptions about safety and toxicity limits based on the confidential testing done by the chemical manufacturer.
As noted by Leu, when access to corporate studies are gained through freedom of information requests or legal discovery, most turn out to be of poor quality. "Most of them actually show a whole range of diseases and risks," Leu says, leading many independent scientists to conclude the chemical in question is harmful and should be either severely restricted or banned altogether. Having extensively reviewed the science on pesticides, Leu believes the greatest threat is the hazard these chemicals pose for our children.
Clinical signs and symptoms of pesticide exposure include malignancies and tumors. "If you look at the World Health Organization's (WHO) figures on children's cancers, they are skyrocketing, and we have good evidence linking back to small amounts of pesticides in food," Leu says. Hormone disruption is another critical side effect.
Chemicals in really tiny amounts, parts per trillion, have an effect on fetal development, and can affect a child all through puberty and beyond. One part per trillion is the equivalent of one drop in three Olympic-sized swimming pools of water.
There's one very good study done by Warren Porter and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin Madison, where they looked at the normal contamination of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers in the drinking water in the Midwest. They found it caused severe development problems in baby rats and, of course, issues like thyroid problems, which is one of the master glands.
The evidence shows diseases like attention-deficit hyperactive disorder, the autism spectrum of disorders, the bipolar schizophrenia spectrum — as well as anger management and a whole range of behavioral problems seen in children — go back to these very small quantities of pesticides in our food, air and water."
Just how concerned do you need to be about these exposures? I recently conducted extensive toxicology testing on my tap water where I live in Florida. It was an eye-opening experience.
The results reveal more than 50 different chemicals in my water, ranging from 3 to 11 parts per trillion, including atacor, atrazine, lindane, chlordane, endrin, heptachlor, epoxide, simazine, toxifin, 2,4-D, dalapron, dinazeb, pentachlorophenol, carbofuran and oxymel. I also have 4,200 parts per trillion of glyphosate in my water, which is an insane amount, especially when you consider I use this water for my organic garden.
Every time I watered my garden, I was dousing my organic fruits and vegetables with glyphosate and a whole host of other pesticides Since then, I've added my whole-house water filtration system to the water for my plants. Indoors, I have a reverse osmosis system for my drinking water on top of that.
But what about everyone else in my community? What about families with young children, who use no filtration at all? Odds are you live in a community where pesticides are found in your water supply as well. I would strongly encourage you to get a water quality report from your local water authority, and take steps to purify your water before drinking, cooking and bathing in it, especially if you have young ones in the house.
"Soil organic matter … sort of works like a buffer. It traps these chemicals. While these chemicals are in the environment, they actually get trapped in the organic matter. When we test [organic food] products, we find that the vast majority of them are actually free of these chemicals. We have good data on that. We also know that in these good agricultural systems, where we have good levels of organic matter, we have various soil microbes … [that] actually degrade the poisons."
According to Leu, once you have about 3 percent or more carbon-based organic matter in your soil, with humus being the most important, pesticide contamination in your irrigation water becomes less of a concern as the microbes are now able to degrade the toxins.
Positive changes are often seen once you hit 1.5 percent. While this doesn't sound like much, most agricultural soils around the world today have less than 1 percent organic matter. In many places, it's as low as 0.5 to 0.6 percent, thanks to the overuse of agricultural chemicals, especially nitrogen fertilizers, which kill microbes and degrade the soil over time.
"Pesticides are synthetic organic molecules. They will bond to the organic matter and stay there. The plants take up nutrients through a process called ion exchange, and can actively select what they need.
They're not passive. In conventional industrial agriculture, where they are force-fed water-soluble fertilizers, [plants] have no choice as to what they take up. Many of these fertilizers have lead, cadmium and heavy metals, and they're soluble. When you water with those, [plants] take up these heavy metals.
In an organic system, it's the other way around. The toxins bond with the organic matter, and the plants actively select which molecules they need, so they can avoid these toxins. That's when we find, when we do the testing, there's a huge difference.
Even if they're growing in the same region, there's a huge difference in the amount of toxins in organic food compared to conventional. The largest study … a meta-analysis of something like 300 comparison studies between organic and conventional, found organic food always has significantly lower levels of these toxins and heavy metals."
Even if there were limited danger from a given chemical, no one — no organization or agency — is looking at the synergistic effects of combining two or more chemicals, which is how we're actually exposed to them.
Rarely, if ever, do we come in contact with a chemical in isolation. In the normal production of any agricultural product, any crop, there are multiple approved pesticides that can be used, such as herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. Within a normal crop cycle, most of them are used, which is why foods frequently test positive for not just one but several different pesticides.
To that, we also have to add all the different cocktails of chemicals found in our homes, such as cleaning products, personal care items, plasticizers and fire retardant chemicals found in a wide variety of materials, just to name a few. There's absolutely no scientific evidence to show that these combinations are safe. Independent testing, however, has revealed that combinations of chemicals have synergistic effects that increase their potency or ability to cause harm.
"When we talk about synergisms, where instead of an additive effect, where one plus one equals two, in synergism, one plus one can cause three or four. We have examples where one and one can equal more than 1,000 in toxicity. The effects are multiplied," Leu explains.
"This is a huge issue because not one regulatory agency in the world is doing anything about it. Regulatory agencies, like the U.S. EPA and the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) are tasked by their governments to take this into account. They're supposed to have been doing this for the last 20 years, and not one has done anything whatsoever."
Two common-sense strategies to minimize your exposure to pesticides is to grow and buy organically produced foods. You don't need pesticides for your garden. There are many safe alternatives for when pests and plant diseases strike, and solutions can be found both in books and online.
"Go back to the way food is supposed to be, which is fresh and local, whenever possible. Cook real food," Leu advises. "Avoid processed food, which not only is denatured in terms of the nutrient value, it's got all these different additives that we also know are toxic.
Once again, there's no science to show that they're safe, but we're learning more and more about the dangers of all these food additives. Just go back to eating good, fresh and healthy food. It's going to make a huge difference to your children and to yourself as well."
Also remember that change always comes from people, not from governments. "You have to make this change yourself," he says. "It's simple to make. If enough of us are making this change, we'll actually change agriculture because the retailers and farmers will be forced to change production to meet the market. Buying organic food, buying local food, going to CSAs, is actually a very powerful political and change act. Your dollars will do more to change the system than probably anything else."
So, remember, vote with your pocketbook, and encourage others to do it as well. The more people who are involved, the stronger the incentive is for industry to change their destructive and toxic practices.
"I've been involved in this for 45 years. The best organic regenerative systems are actually higher-yielding than industrial agriculture. It's a myth to say that all organic is low-yielding. We now have good science on how we can grow nutrient-dense, healthy food, and get higher yields per acre than the industrial systems.
In fact, the industrial systems are running down the environment so quickly — and producing toxic food — that this world will not survive if we continue to go down that agricultural path.
The only way we're going to survive is by going over to regenerative systems that we know are good for the environment, increase biodiversity, increase the health of regions, and make sure that we don't have all these poisons going into our water supply, air and our food … [Organic food] helps protect us against degenerative diseases, against toxins. Really, it's a win, win, win."


Modern applications and services usually expose their functions via REST; moreover, modules and components also make use of external services that are exposed as REST. Thus, developers often need to design RESTful services and write REST service clients. It's a given in this kind of work that these services will be called thousands of times during the development process (developers need to understand the API, as well as the messages and the resources involved), and even after, to make sure everything works as desired.
tl;dr: we provision Kubernetes clusters on different cloud providers and deploy apps through a RESTful API; for testing those, we use Postman.
This post will attempt to provide insight into how we at Banzai Cloud deal with REST APIs, and what tools we use in order to be as productive as possible.
As previously mentioned, developers need to call external and/or internal REST services a lot, in lots of environments. This can take up a great deal of a developer's valuable time (the design and implemention of an easily manageable infrastructure is not trivial). Luckily, there are tools that can help us expedite the work involved.
The first tool worth mentioning is curl. It's always at hand and comes with everything you need to issue rest calls and, combined with a few other tools (eg.: jq), to analyze and visualize resources. However, some of us at at Banzai Cloud prefer Postman instead, since its rich feature set makes our work more enjoyable.
These are just a few of the features we use on a daily basis (for more information check Postman's documentation).
Banzai Cloud's Pipeline application has a REST interface with operations to provision Kubernetes clusters on different cloud providers and manage deployments on provisioned clusters. We've developed and published a Postman Collection that tests some of these features, provisions Kubernetes clusters in the cloud and deploys applications (using Helm charts).

RALEIGH, N.C. – Efforts to unravel the mysterious fate of North Carolina's fabled Lost Colony could benefit after a preservation group took out its first-ever loan to buy a coastal tract where some colonists may have resettled hundreds of years ago.
The 16th century English colonists who vanished after being left in the New World have piqued popular imagination and intrigued historians for centuries. One North Carolina community is even holding a Lost Colony Festival this weekend. The preservation of land linked to their disappearance could enable future researchers to shed new light on the historic riddle.
The 1,000-acre property is so special historically and ecologically that the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust decided to take a risk and borrow $5.3 million for a real estate deal, said Lee Leidy, attorney and Northeast Region director for the trust. It's the first time in 26 years that the trust has done so. The trust plans to turn the property over to the state, eventually, preserving it for future study.
"It was a veritable time capsule of important historical events," Leidy said.
In addition to being the place where historians now believe some of the colonists resettled, the land in rural Bertie County has been home to an Indian village and to the plantation of Gov. Thomas Pollock, who served two stints as governor in the early 1700s. The land, which includes 3.5 miles along Salmon Creek, is important ecologically, with flood plain forests of cypress-gum swamp and bottomland hardwood forest.
The military also uses the area as a central training route and supported the preservation, Leidy said.
The nonprofit trust, which has preserved almost 70,000 undeveloped acres since 1992, purchased the land last year and plans to pay off the loans with money from grants. While there's no specific timetable for turning the property over to the state, an official from the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation will visit the site May 14, Leidy said.
England's ill-fated first settlement in North America was established in 1587, when 116 English settlers landed on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina, led by explorer John White. He left them there when he sailed back to England that same year for more supplies. When he returned in 1590, delayed by war between England and Spain, none of the colonists remained.
White knew the majority had planned to move "50 miles into the maine," as he wrote, referring to the mainland. The only clues he found about the fate of the other two dozen were the word "CROATOAN" carved into a post and "CRO" lettered on a tree trunk, leading historians to suspect they moved south to live with American Indians on what's now Hatteras Island.
Archaeologists now believe that some found their way to the land in Bertie County. The possibility first came to light in 2012, when researchers at the British Museum in London announced they had found a drawing of a fort that had been obscured under a patch on a map of Virginia and North Carolina drawn by White in the 1580s.
The drawing placed the fort in an area of Bertie County where archaeologists have found colonial-era English pottery and signs of a Native American village.
While the area is best known now for its probable Lost Colony connection, it has more pottery shards from the Indian village of Mettaquem than from the Europeans, said Nick Luccketti, co-vice president of the First Colony Foundation, the group spearheading the archaeological dig on a parcel known as Site X.
Luccketti and Evans believe perhaps up to 12 members of the Lost Colony settled on Site X, possibly as a watch party for incoming friendly or enemy ships. The remains of other small settlements or a single large one could be located nearby in areas where they haven't dug, they said.
