Director says facility provides essential access to the arts
Ofelia Vasquez-Philo had dreamed of Centro Cultural Hispano de San Marcos for 35 years.
In September 2009, that dream began to solidify when the former Bonham Elementary School building became available for lease. As soon as Vasquez-Philo saw the space, she said knew her dream would become reality.
A flood of paperwork followed, but when it all settled, Vasquez-Philo and her planning group had secured the building.
The center has been housed in the former school for three years, and Vasquez-Philo and her team have set about filling it with the treasures of their Hispanic heritage.
Vasquez-Philo said the facility provides many Hispanic artists and leaders in the area with a place to show off their work while also grooming the next generation of San Marcos artists and leaders.
"The minute we opened the doors to this place, people just came in, and they've been coming ever since," she said. "They like what we offer, and they feel comfortable because we're in the middle of the barrio."
A "wall of fame" has been erected in the main lobby where visitors are greeted by portraits of many of the city's past Hispanic leaders, including Luciano Flores, the first Hispanic mayor of San Marcos; Celestino Mendez, the first Hispanic person to serve on the San Marcos CISD school board; and the smiling face of Vasquez-Philo, the first Hispanic woman elected to that school board.
Vasquez-Philo said she was concerned that many minority families lacked the resources to pay for extracurricular activities, so Centro makes those areas of study accessible to the community, offering free classes in piano, accordion, mariachi, ballet and art.
"If you want a child to be a well-rounded intellect, he needs the arts," she said. "The arts are very essential. Music is like food for the brain. You can express your feelings by singing, dancing [or] playing an instrument, so that's what we're trying to do."
In addition to extracurricular activities, Centro offers tutoring in science and math. Vasquez-Philo has made it a personal mission to ensure that students who are lagging behind their peers have an opportunity to catch up.
San Marcos Mayor Daniel Guerrero praised Centro's volunteers, staff and board for their willingness to archive the effect that Hispanics, who account for 37.8 percent of the city's population, according to the 2010 census, have had on San Marcos.
"You want to do your best to try to collect these stories and these articles now before they're gone and we're never able to recapture them again," Guerrero said.
The center plans to host several events for Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from Sept. 15–Oct. 15.
Vasquez-Philo said the group is still working out details, but among the planned activities are a healthy tamale showcase at which attendees will learn how to make tamales with vegetables and olive oil instead of pork and lard, presentations at San Marcos schools, and various recitals performed by the center's students.
"You have a better sense of yourself when you know where you came from, where your ancestors came from," she said. "You learn why you are the way you are."

Tag: Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann
Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann (1879-1933)
French interior and furniture designer, Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann acquired wide renown thanks to the valuable production of his interior design firm, established in partnership with Pierre Laurent, embodying the charm of the French Art Deco style of the 1910s and 1920s.

Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann was born in Paris in 1879 into an Alsatian family, who already were in the general decorating business; when his father died in 1907, he took over the family firm. In 1919, he founded an interior design company with designer and friend Pierre Laurent, the Établissement Ruhlmann et Laurent, specializing in interior design and producing luxurious home goods that included furniture, wallpapers, lighting and bronze artefacts. By this time, Ruhlmann was making formal elegant furniture using exotic woods and inlays of ivory, lacquer, precious metals, and scrollwork, giving them a classic, almost timeless appeal. By 1927, Ruhlmann's shop had grown to comprise two locations, employing 27 master cabinetmakers, four finishers, a dozen upholsterers, a few apprentice cabinetmakers and twenty-five draftsmen. However, the worldwide economic depression following the stock market crash of 1929 brought an end to the luxurious lifestyle that maintained an audience for Ruhlmann's designs. Ruhlmann died on November 15, 1933 in Paris at the age of 54.

What Were His Major Works?
Ruhlmann's designs were purchased, both in France and abroad, to decorate palaces, large politicians' estates, and national museums. Today, his work is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, among others.
The Corner Cabinet: Ruhlmann and Laurent's furniture was very sought after, in no small part thanks to its opulent designs. In a contemporary key, the glories of the Parisian cabinet in the days of Louis XV, Louis XVI and the Empire were re-enacted, echoing some characteristics, in addition to the similar use of precious techniques and materials. This corner cabined is made by using kingwood (amaranth) veneer on mahogany and inlays of ivory.

Fuseaux Cabinet: Designed and manufactured from 1920 to 1949 in France, by using rosewood and ivory. Only seven copies of this small cabinet are known to this date, including one at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and one at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. Both were already acquired directly from Ruhlmann in 1925, on the occasion of the major art trade exhibition in Paris. For the production of one of the cannulated legs alone, about 50 working hours were required. This table was manufactured circa 1921.

How Can We Identify Ruhlmann's Style?
Once, Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann said that
To create something that lasts, the first thing is to want to create something that lasts forever.
– Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann
His early designs reflected the popular Art Nouveau influences in France at the turn of the century. Later, his influences could be traced back to architects and designers who created innovative furniture in Vienna around the time of the First World War.

Its strongest inspiration could come from the classic design elements and craft ideals found in 18th century furniture: Ruhlmann would then model these same ideals in what he called his precious pieces. The hallmarks of these early works were their almost imperceptible curves and elegantly subtle uses of ivory. These pieces were more often embellished with ivory, which gave a static sense of control to the pieces that made them unique, timeless and extremely elegant in shape. Over time, however, his style became more functional and modern, and occasionally even modular. His two favorite woods; Macassar ebony and amboyna root create both soft but surprising patterns of background, without focusing on the wood itself.

Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes.
The main treatments are chemotherapy and radiation, either alone or in combination. Immunotherapy and stem cell transplant may also be options, particularly if other treatments aren't working or you're dealing with a recurrence.
There's no single treatment plan that's right for everybody. Each type of therapy has potential benefits and risks, and the right course depends on your individual circumstances.
Continue reading to learn more about the factors that will guide treatmeant for Hodgkin lymphoma.
Each type of Hodgkin lymphoma has its own typical pattern of behavior. What works best for one type may not be the best choice to treat another.
Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma can occur at any age but is most common in adolescents and young adults. It typically starts in lymph nodes of the neck or chest. This type represents about 60 to 80 percent of Hodgkin lymphomas, and the majority of people who have it can be cured.
Mixed cellularity Hodgkin lymphoma tends to be diagnosed in an advanced stage, usually in older adults. It's normally found in the upper part of the body.
Lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma is usually found in the upper half of the body in only a few lymph nodes. This type is often diagnosed at an early stage in adults. The relapse rate is low.
Lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma tends to be diagnosed in older adults. It's found in the lymph nodes of the abdomen, liver, spleen, and bone marrow, usually in an advanced stage.
Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma is another type of Hodgkin lymphoma. It involves large cancer cells called popcorn cells. This type begins in the lymph nodes under the arm or in the neck, and isn't very aggressive.
Knowing how far the cancer has spread and what areas of the body are affected helps your doctor offer a general outlook and choose the best treatments. Generally speaking, earlier stage cancer is easier to treat than later stage cancer.
Stage 1: Cancer is discovered in only one lymph node region or one organ.
Stage 2: Cancer is found in two lymph node regions, or one organ and nearby lymph nodes. Also, the cancer is confined to one part of the body — either above or below the diaphragm.
Stage 3: Cancer has spread to lymph nodes above and below the diaphragm. It might also be found in the spleen, tissue, or an organ near lymph node groups.
Stage 4: In addition to lymph nodes, cancer is found in other tissue or organs such as the bones, liver, or lungs.
When cancer returns after you've received treatment, it's called recurrent Hodgkin lymphoma. Treatment may involve combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which can be used to fight the cancer and to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. Another option is a combination high-dose chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant). Your doctor may also be able to refer you to a clinical trial.
Treatments come with both short- and long-term side effects, some of which can be managed. All of this must be factored in when making your treatment decisions.
Long-term risks of chemotherapy include infertility and secondary cancers. You'll also need to have various blood and imaging tests along the way to see if chemotherapy is working.
Radiation therapy involves a specific number of treatments over the course of several weeks. You'll have to stick to a fairly strict schedule. Short-term side effects can include fatigue and skin irritation. Radiation to the neck area can cause sore throat and mouth. Long-term side effects can include secondary cancers and damage to organs that are in range of the radiation.
A stem cell transplant requires you to have high-dose chemotherapy and radiation first. The procedure can increase your risk of infection.
When deciding on treatment, you and your doctor may need to factor in your age. People over age 50 may require more intensive treatment.
Your general state of health also has a lot to do with how well you can withstand certain treatments. Other serious medical issues, such as heart disease or unmanaged diabetes, for example, might be a factor in your treatment decisions.
Symptoms such as excessive sweating, fevers, and weight loss may also affect your treatment.
If you're pregnant, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be harmful to your fetus. Your doctor may suggest "watchful waiting," which means holding off on treatment, but monitoring you closely for changes. As the baby nears full term, labor can be induced so you can start treatment.
Be sure to tell your oncologist about all your medical conditions.
All these things, plus your personal preferences, should be considered when choosing treatment. That's why it's important to ask questions, express your concerns, and make your wishes known.
Together with your cancer care team, you'll assess all your options and decide on the best course of treatment. Whatever treatment you ultimately choose, your doctor will monitor your progress and recommend changes as necessary.

House GOP Plots Amnesty Stab In The Back
House Republicans say they'll act on immigration reform this year
By David Nakamura
House Republicans intensified their outreach to Latino groups last week, offering renewed pledges that the House will deal with immigration reform this year. The effort has revived hope among advocates that a bipartisan deal can be reached to address the fate of the nation's 11 million undocumented workers and students.
The chances of a comprehensive deal passing Congress remain doubtful, advocates cautioned, and they worry that the legislative process will spill into 2014, presenting new complications in a year when lawmakers face reelection battles.
In other words, politicians want to pass amnesty, but not if they have to do it soon enough before an election for voters to remember they did it.
But they were encouraged by signals from key GOP leaders that the House is willing to move forward on legislation that could produce a breakthrough in the stalled negotiations.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said Thursday that his panel is working on four new pieces of legislation dealing with border-control laws. He did not disclose details but emphasized the need to resolve the status of people living in the country illegally.
"We want to do immigration reform right," Goodlatte told about 70 Hispanic leaders during a roundtable discussion on Capitol Hill, adding that he hopes the House can begin considering bills next month.
His remarks boosted the spirits of advocates who have become increasingly fretful that Republicans have been dragging out the process in an effort to kill momentum for a deal.
The best we can hope for from the GOP Congressmen is nothing — nothing is better than something. But it's starting to look like nothing is too much to ask.

Q: How to prevent Python Kafka Producer fail due to use of logging For some reason when I add any logging code before using a Kafka producer the connection fails. It took me some time to isolate the problem because the error logs pertained to the connection.
Without these two logging lines the code works just fine:
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

here is the faulty code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import traceback
import logging

from kafka import KafkaProducer
from kafka.errors import KafkaError

def produce_test(listen=False):

    topics = ['topic1', 'topic2']

    messages = [['key1', 'logging hell'], ['key1', 'silly defaults']]
    encoded = []

    for m in messages:
        encoded.append((str(m[0]).encode('utf-8'), str(m[1]).encode('utf-8')))

    logging.info(f"something I want to log")

    producer = KafkaProducer(
        bootstrap_servers='localhost:9092',
        max_request_size=15048576,
    )

    for t in topics:

        for m in encoded:
            # pt = producer.partitions_for(t)
            # print(f'partitions for {t}: {pt}')

            print(f"sending: {m} to topic: {t}")
            future = producer.send(topic=t, key=m[0], value=m[1])

            producer.flush()

            if listen:
                try:
                    record_metadata = future.get(timeout=10)

                    # print(f'record_metadata: {record_metadata}')
                except KafkaError:
                    # Decide what to do if produce request failed...
                    print(traceback.format_exc())
                    result = 'Fail'
                finally:
                    producer.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":

    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    print('in producer calzone di Napoli')
    produce_test()

here is the error log:

I'm guessing the logger interferes with the Kafka library logger, but I just switched to confluent_kafka and bypassed the problem.

A: The logs you pasted show a producer successfully sending messages. Your application is working!
The couple of errors probably also happen when you disable logging, you just don't see them. Enabling logging does not break your application.
These errors happen because you're using localhost as a bootstrap server. The Kafka client has to resolve that name to an IP in order to connect to it. On your machine, it looks like localhost resolves to 2 IPs:

*

*::1 on IPv6: The client tries to connect to that and fails

*127.0.0.1 on IPv4: The client tries to connect to that and succeeds

ANDRE / JUDD
ANDRE / JUDD , Van de Weghe Fine Art
May 7 - June 27, 2014, Installation view
Van de Weghe Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by Carl Andre and Donald Judd. Both artists, key figures in Minimalism, utilize humble materials and simple, often repeated forms to interrogate how we experience material, time, and space.
Carl Andre (b. 1935) started his career as a sculptor making carved, abstract forms with wood, influenced by the symmetry and verticality of Brancusi's sculptures as well as the rigorous logic of the paintings of Frank Stella, whose studio he shared at the time. Andre ultimately refrained from carving in favor of arranging timbers of equal size in ways that emphasized the intrinsic logic of the material itself. He went on to use other elemental materials such steel, lead, copper and limestone which were processed into basic forms: blocks, slabs, ribbons, rods, and deliberately arranged by placing, standing, stacking or scattering. Andre's work became more horizontal emphasizing the grounding force of gravity, which was what held the structures together. He is best known for his arrangements of tile-like forms on the floor and the exhibition includes two strikingly different examples of these. 81 Ace Zinc Square, 2007 is a sprawling plane of 81 zinc plates arranged in a square, its mottled metallic surface occupies much of the main gallery space. 6 Glarus Copper Integer, 2002 is a petite arrangement in brilliant copper. The sculptures create a definite sense of place, and are subject to the same natural laws as those that experience them.
Donald Judd (1928-1994), began his artistic career as a painter, but ultimately eschewed painterly illusion and the concept of represented space in favor of art that he felt was more powerful, existing in real space and time.
A prolific writer and theoretician, his seminal essay "Specific Objects" from 1965 argued for the autonomy of the constructed object and the space created by it. Judd engaged the vocabulary of the manufactured object by designing simple, elegant forms out of industrial materials: metals, plywood, concrete, Plexiglas, and by 1964 began delegating the fabrication of his work to professional artisans and manufacturers. He rejected classical methods of composition in favor of mathematical progressions and standardized proportions. Untitled, 1995, a "Swiss Box," aluminum enameled in reds and blues showcases Judd's sense as a colorist, and displays an abiding sense of logic and order. Untitled, 1969-1970, a bull-nosed "Progression" in shining brass, is striking in its eloquent simplicity. There is no hierarchy of elements in Judd's work; form, material, structure, and color are on equal footing, harmonized and unified.
The works of Carl Andre and Donald Judd are emphatically non-illusionistic, non-representational. The simplicity of these works and the transparency of their construction create a spatial clarity which demands close scrutiny. It is this very exploration, an end in itself, that continues to fascinate. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, from 10:00am to 6:00pm, and by appointment.

It doesn't look like we're getting any smarter about our passwords.
On Thursday, software company SplashData released its annual list of the Top 100 worst passwords, and it includes some pretty obvious blunders. Coming in at No. 1 is, you guessed it, "123456," and in second place is, yup, "password." This is the fifth year in a row these passwords have held the top two spots.
Newcomers to the list include "666666" (No. 14), "princess" (No. 11) and "donald" (No. 23).
"It's a real head-scratcher that with all the risks known, and with so many highly publicized hacks, such as Marriott and the National Republican Congressional Committee, that people continue putting themselves at such risk year after year," Slain said.

Morten is set to appear at EVS 24 – The 24th International Battery, Hybrid & Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition, which is being held in Stavanger from 13 – 16 May.
He will be performing a few songs live at the Stavanger Forum conference centre on May 14th. According to the program on the event's website, a ten-minute performance has been scheduled between 10:30-10:40.
EVS 24 is a world congress and exhibition for electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles, with participants from 40 countries. Among the celebrities attending are Crown Prince Haakon Magnus of Norway and Prince Albert of Monaco.
Harald Røstvik, who is the chairman of the organising committee, is a good friend of Morten and they have worked together on renewable energy projects in the past.
In other news, it has been confirmed that Morten and his girlfriend Inez will be contestants on the UK game show All Star Mr & Mrs, which airs on ITV1.
The show was taped on 25 April, but the exact air date is not yet known.
The upcoming concert dates in Germany and Norway are revealed in an interview with Magne and Morten in today's paper edition of VG.
And the album title will be the same as the single: Foot Of The Mountain.
Read all the details plus Magne and Morten's refreshing take on Norwegian journalists in a translation of the interview here.
It only took a few hours from a-ha had finished their new single, until it had been sent to radio stations across Europe. The band is now planning a new album and a big concert in Oslo.
On Thursday night a-ha were satisfied with a version of the new song "Foot Of The Mountain". On Friday morning Harald Wiik brought the song to the Universal office – who liked the song so much that they decided to send it out as a single immediately. On Friday afternoon the song premiered on Norwegian radio – and was at the same time sent out to radio stations across the whole of Europe.
"This is the right way of doing it in 2009. There was demand for a new a-ha single from radio stations all over Europe. That's why we decided to distribute it immediately", a-ha manager Harald Wiik says.
The quick release came as a surprise to many people, including Wiik himself, who didn't have more details about the new album ready for publication when the song was distributed yesterday.
"The name of the album has not been decided yet, but we're assuming that it will be released on 19 June", Wiik says.
The album will be released simultaneously in more than 20 European countries.
During the autumn, they are planning several big concerts in Norway.
"We have had many offers to do concerts in Norway, and they will be confirmed within the next week. There will be concerts in Oslo sometime in October/November", Harald Wiik says.
In a surprising move, a-ha and Universal Music decided to release the first single from the new album to radio stations in Norway today.
"They are currently in the studio, and the single was finished last night", a-ha manager Harald Wiik tells Dagbladet. "We have to turn around quickly, that's how it's become in this business".
"We took a decision very quickly, and saw no reason to wait", he adds to Bergens Tidende.
"Foot Of The Mountain" was written by Magne and Paul, and is basically Magne's solo song "The Longest Night" from 2008 with a new chorus.
It's been produced by Roland Spremberg, who co-produced Minor Earth | Major Sky back in 2000. The mixing was done by Steve Osborne at Real World Studios and it was mastered at Metropolis in London.
"The single will be available to buy on either 4 May or 11 May, I think. And the new album is set to be released on 22 June", Wiik says.
a-ha will continue to work on the new album, using studios in Oslo, Stockholm og New York.
The press release is available on a-ha.com, and "Foot Of The Mountain" can be heard here.
– The first single is not one of the three songs that have been performed live.
But the song title is yet to be confirmed. Info about the radio premiere will hopefully follow soon.
-The German tour dates for October have now been set, and will be announced at the beginning of May.

'Tiger Zinda Hai' review and box-office collections - Video
salman khan's latest Bollywood action-thriller "Tiger Zinda Hai" was released all across India and in the United States on December 22, 2017. The movie has been directed by Ali Abbas Zafar who also directed Aamir Khan's "Sultan." "Tiger Zinda Hai" has Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Sajjad Delfrooz in the lead roles. Among other stars playing pivotal roles in the film are Paresh Rawal, Angad Bedi, Kumud Mishra and Girish Karnad.
The movie is a sequel to the 2012 blockbuster film "Ek Tha Tiger" which had Salman playing the role of RAW agent, Avinash Singh Rathore a.k.a. Tiger, who falls in love with Pakistani agent, Zoya (Katrina Kaif), while on a mission.
In "Tiger Zinda Hai," Tiger and Zoya take the helm of a mission to rescue forty Indian and Pakistani nurses who have been held hostage in Iraq by Abu Usman ( Sajjad Delfrooz) who is the leader of the Islamist terrorist organization ISC.
It is absolutely amazing to watch Salman Khan's action sequences in the movie as well as his strong chemistry with Katrina. The actress has done complete justice to her action-packed role. It is a delight to watch Katrina perform dangerous stunt scenes in the movie. All in all, the 161 minutes long film is a perfect action-thriller Bollywood flick that is a must watch for die-hard Salman Khan fans.
Audience response

Q: deny anonymous for all pages except the "~/" path in asp.net in asp.net, i use this config section to deny anonymous users for all pages.
<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" />

and i use the following to declare an exception that anonymous can access.
<location path="Welcome.aspx">
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow users="*" />
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</location>

that works fine for me.
however, how can i set only the default page as an exception?
(such as: anonymous can access only http://mysite/, but can NOT access any other pages in the site?)
i'v tried use location path="~/" or "/" and it doesn't work.

A: If path="Default.aspx" doesn't work then it cannot be done using configuration. There's no syntax available to specify only the application root in the path attribute.

A: I think you can change your folder structre to achieve this. Then you can change the web.config to deny user
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow roles="administrators" />
            <deny users="?" />

Q: Snowflake Information Schema behavior for View tables I am new to snowflake. I am creating a view in snowflake as below
create view TABLENAME_VIEW as select * from test.stage.TABLENAME;

while running a select statement on information_schema.tables, I am getting the row_count of view table as null whereas doing select count(*) on the view tables gives the count.
Can someone please help on this.

TABLE_NAME
ROW_COUNT
TABLE_CATALOG
TABLE_TYPE

TABLENAME
5
TEST
BASE TABLE

TABLENAME_VIEW
NULL
TEST
VIEW

select count(*) from TABLENAME_VIEW;

COUNT(*)

5

A: Views are not tables (unless it an materializes view). So they have no rows. When you select from the view it becomes a projection of the underlying table/s
This can be seen by creating another view that has a "WHERE false" thus will return 0 to you select count(*) from the will return 0, but it will have no row. OR if your view had "limit 1". It will have a count of 1, but which one is the magic part.


Today's film review is on the next Marvel film. Now, it doesn't seem five minutes since I was reviewing Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2, but it's apparently been three whole months since then.
1. The screenings are always packed. In case you didn't know already- I'm an introvert. With social anxiety. Me + people doesn't go well all that often.
2. The queue to buy a ticket is going to be big. I get bored easily in big queues. Being at the cinema is one of the only times I don't have a book in my hand.
3. There was another reason, but I have forgotten. Everyone goes to midnight screenings. That's the point of them. No, sorry, but I like my sleep. I don't get enough if it sometimes (yay, insomnia), but I'd rather be trying to sleep at midnight then watch a film.
Luckily, our holiday came just as the film was released, so I had to wait two weeks to the end of July to see the new version of Spidey. The screen I was in was only half full and of course, I chose the back. Where I didn't half to worry about people staring at me and could relax. Result.
I wasn't too sure about this film going in. I obviously was going to watch it since it happens to be part of the whole MCU and I'd miss a ton of stuff otherwise, plus I did like Tom Holland as Spidey in 'Civil War'.
However. Confession time…I've never seen any of the other Spiderman films all the way through. They've just never interested me all that much. Whether that's the age difference thing people talk about or what, but there it is. I also don't read the comics all that much.
1. I found this version of Peter Parker really relatable. For many reasons. Even though I'm not in school anymore (and we leave at 16 in the UK), this version of him was nerdy, awkward and just trying to do the right thing by people.
2. Iron Man is still relevant, but not central. Tony becomes Peter's mentor, which was fun to watch being played out.
3. Happy Hogan is back! I didn't realise how much I'd missed him until he came on screen.
4. The cameos. Stan Lee's was funny and sweet. It was nice to see Pepper back too. The ones with Captain America were really good.
5. The villain was so relatable too. I mean, Vulture was obviously not the nicest, but he was almost ordinary, in a way that superhero movies don't usually show. In fact, I personally think there have only ever been about two villains in the MCU that I can't relate to, so Vulture wasn't a surprise in that respect.
6. There is so much emphasis on friendships here, both male and female. Even though is a love interest and he's a teenager, Peter wasn't going around fancying every girl in his school. I really liked that.
7. A lot of the school scenes show that it's ok to be smart at school. I wish I'd have had a message like that when I was at school. I was bullied for doing homework and liking certain subjects- a lot of this fully started my anxiety. It's so important for school-aged people to hear, especially coming from a superhero film. We can all be our own superheroes.
8. The Avengers tower features again. That was nice. And there is some throwbacks to the first Avengers film- which remains one of my favourites to this day.
9. The special effects were great. The script was typically Marvel- filled humour.
1. This is a slight spoiler, but it could be a trigger warning, so I thought I'd include it. In the final battle, there is the use of the reflection panels (like the ones on the helicarrier in 'The Avengers'). These malfunction during the fight and they flash quite a bit, which could be a problem for some people. Not saying it will be, but it's possible.
Despite my initial doubts, I needn't have worried. Being pleasantly surprised made me really enjoy this film and I think Tom Holland was definitely well cast to take on Spiderman. I'm looking forward to seeing him in future Marvel films.
My rating: 4½ out of 5 stars.
Thanks for reading. Let me know what you thought about the film if you've seen it- and if I should watch the other versions of Spiderman for myself. All the best.


Emily Halbig always wanted to be a teacher.
Bettering lives is exactly what Halbig has been doing since starting her teaching career in 2004. Nine years later, while leading a middle school through its first 1:1 Chromebook initiative, Halbig was encouraged by various administrators to direct her obvious leadership skills toward administration. Thus began her pursuit of an MA in Educational Leadership through SDSU's online program.
Halbig answered a few questions about her career and SDSU's program.
I began my teaching career in 2004 in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District [Watsonville, Calif.] where I have worked for my entire career. I initially taught in an after-school program while I completed Cal State TEACH and obtained my multiple subject credential. During this time, I spent a month and a half in Quito, Ecuador, preparing for the BCLAD test. [The Bilingual, Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development certificate is required for teachers who provide instruction in a language other than English.] The year I completed my credential program, the fifth-grade bilingual teaching position previously held by my master teacher, Eladio Martin (an inspiration to me, still to this day!) opened and I was hired to fill it. I held this job for the next seven years.
I moved into a position as instructional technology coach in 2013, leading Lakeview Middle School through Santa Cruz County's first 1:1 Chromebook initiative. I kept this job for four years, working at two middle schools in PVUSD. Throughout this time I worked with many administrators who identified my leadership qualities and encouraged me to consider administration. I began the SDSU MA in Educational Leadership program with the idea that I would continue to work in educational technology, however during the program my passion for social justice was rekindled and I felt a strong pull to teach in alternative education, which is where I am now. I currently teach at New School Community Day High School, a small school in PVUSD.
I would define alternative education as a means to serve students who struggle with a typical high school program by providing them an opportunity to learn in a small school setting. Many of our students come to us deficient in credits and must work at an accelerated pace to recover credits lost due to extended absences or frequent truancies. We also serve students who have been expelled from the comprehensive high schools. Community Day Schools, specifically, provide not only academic curriculum but focus on socio-emotional development, strengthening of social skills, and life skills.
How did you find out about SDSU's MA in Educational Leadership program?
I knew that completing a distance program would be my best chance for success so I searched online. I read about and watched videos for the SDSU MAEL program and liked its tech focus, as well as the flexibility and length of the program.
What was your goal in taking the program?
Initially my goal was to move into administration in the area of educational technology. The goal shifted midway through the program when I became more passionate about social justice issues in education. At the time I was working at a middle school with a highly punitive system of discipline that was failing the children and I recognized the need for systemic change. My goal now is to work with district administrators in bringing about more positive systems, such as restorative practices and PBIS [Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports] while implementing more of a socio-emotional focus with students that have suffered from trauma and whose behavior is a reflection of that trauma.
How did the online component work with your schedule?
It was perfect. While I missed face-to-face interaction and conversations with colleagues, I appreciated the video conference format, in particular the classes where we were all given a chance to speak and participate. The flexibility of watching lectures and reading text on my own time was essential to my schedule of working full time and raising a young child.
High caliber. I was impressed with the level of support by most of the instructors and appreciated very much the ability to customize projects based upon our areas of interest. Ian Pumpian and Doug Fisher inspired me greatly when it came to learning about the importance of positive school culture. Dr. [Cheryl] Ward took me out of my comfort zone and really encouraged me to push the boundaries of what I knew and how to effect change. Will Mellman was also influential in allowing us to really explore equity in education. We work in communities with similar demographics and I see him as a role model for my leadership future.
Were there any unexpected benefits to interacting with cohorts?
I enjoyed working with the same cohort and noticed that by midway through the program, we had formed loose groups based on our areas of focus. There were many highly engaged classmates who I communicated with via Twitter and email (and who I still follow!). It was nice to get perspective from educational leaders working in different areas of the state and in different demographics.
Students celebrated the end of the quarter with yoga on the beach as part of the yoga program that Emily Halbig created at New School.
Can you give an example or two of how you implemented your learning in the classroom?
My current role as intervention teacher at New School Community Day School requires me to build strong relationships with students and families in order to best support them in reaching their goals. I have brought restorative circles into my classes, which strengthens community and allows students to discuss the issues that they struggle with outside of school that have contributed to their struggles. I understand the burden that childhood trauma has on young people and my learning has given me tools on how to communicate with and support my most at-risk students.
What do you think is the program's biggest strength?
The biggest strength for me is that the program is forward thinking. I was surprised at how much we talked about social issues and appreciate very much that the professors understood and encouraged us to think outside the box in terms of learning to support at-risk youth and struggling communities. I think within the SDSU MAEL program there is a general progressive mindset that education needs to change, dramatically, if we want society to change.

The newest introduction to the Bitron Video product range is the synthesis of technological innovation and careful design.
The T line hands free video doorphone was created to meet - and exceed - the expectations of customers who demand high-tech products and increasingly more compact dimensions.
The clean, minimal style is that of the entire T line series: essential, contemporary surfaces made of top quality materials give life to a compact product with great looks.
And with an edge: the common functions of a video doorphone are integrated in the T line hands free device by supplementary services.
All buttons can be used for smart functions which go well beyond the 'classic' functions of other devices.
The door opener button, for instance, is backlit by a two-colour LED which indicates when the door is open (red) and when a call is in progress (green). In the latter case, the LED helps to locate the door opener button in the dark.
Furthermore, the 'auto-on' button may be used to switch the outdoor camera and the display on even without having received a call. This function can be used to observe the outside of the building at any time of the day. The buttons A, B and C may be used to manage auxiliary services, such as opening a second gate and switching on the staircase lights.
The many functions of the T line hands-free video doorphone encompass a high-tech colour TFT monitor. With four inches of width, the monitor ensures excellent viewing conditions from all angles and is controlled by a set of buttons. The contrast, colour and brightness of the display may be adjusted. The call volume may also be adjusted to three different positions (loud, soft and mute): a red indicator will appear when the latter is selected.
The T-line hands-free video doorphone is very small (200 x 124 x 38 mm). This makes it ideal for wall-mounted installations and perfect for embedding (with its special kit, it protrudes by only 16 mm from the wall).
or not. The T-line hands-free video doorphone is indeed provided with special brackets which make it very easy to install in all Bitron Video systems, including 5-wire, Eurobus and B-fast.

Saint Laura of Constantinople (died 1453) was a Christian who lived in Constantinople during the 15th century. She was born in Greece into a noble family: her father was a Latin knight named Michael and her mother was Albanian. Her name was Theodolinde Trasci. After she became a nun in Constantinople, she changed it into Laura, eventually rising to become an abbess. She was martyred by the Ottoman Turks who took Constantinople on 29 May 1453. They scalded her to death with the other 52 sisters of her convent.
Her feast day is on May 29.

L'Unterseeboot 534 (ou U-534) est un sous-marin allemand utilisé par la Kriegsmarine pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et coulé en 1945. Renfloué en 1993, il est aujourd'hui exposé en Angleterre, à Birkenhead, le long de la Mersey (en face de Liverpool).

Historique
Après sa période de formation et d'entraînement à Stettin dans la 4. Unterseebootsflottille jusqu'au , l'U-534 est affecté à une unité de combat à la base sous-marine de Lorient, dans la 2. Unterseebootsflottille. Devant l'avancée des forces alliées en France, il rejoint à partir du 1er novembre 1944 la 33. Unterseebootsflottille à Flensbourg en Allemagne.

Il est coulé le  dans le Cattégat au nord-ouest d'Elseneur au Danemark, à la position géographique de , par 10 charges de profondeur lancées d'un avion britannique Consolidated B-24 Liberator de l'escadrille Sqdn 86/G. Il y a trois morts et 49 survivants parmi les hommes d'équipage.

En 1993 le millionnaire danois  finance le renflouage du sous-marin attirant l'attention des médias avec la rumeur d'or nazi qui se trouverait dans l'U-Boot. L'espoir de trésor en or disparaît : car l'U-Boot ne contenait rien de notable. En 1996, il est transporté à Birkenhead au Royaume-Uni pour intégrer la collection du  sur les quais de Birkenhead.

Le musée a fermé le . Le , l'autorité des transports publics du Merseyside () annonce qu'elle acquiert l'U-Boot avec le projet de le couper en trois sections, pour le présenter au terminal de Ferry de .

Le , Merseytravel annonce que l'U-Boot sera finalement coupé en quatre tronçons pour faciliter son transport vers son nouveau site. Il sera présenté sous cette forme pour permettre aux visiteurs un meilleur accès et une meilleure visibilité. Merseytravel a déclaré que la préservation de la coque intacte aurait créé des frais de transport prohibitifs.

Le , une équipe de techniciens commence le découpage de l'U-Boot, l'opération devant durer un mois. À partir du , les sections, chacune pesant près de , sont déplacées individuellement grâce à une grue flottante. La nouvelle présentation du sous-marin a ouvert le .

The focus of this research is on small, well-established, homogeneous earthfill embankment dams that are currently in use and whose performance was previously outside the Reservoirs Act 1975, but are now governed by the new Flood and Water Management Act 2010. Many uncertainties are associated with such structures, a situation that can lead to the threat of dam failure when extreme climate conditions develop. Therefore, merely carrying out a deterministic assessment for such structures is insufficient and more sophisticated models, which reflect uncertain conditions of the dam site are required. This research presents the new advanced probabilistic slope stability model with precipitation effects (APSMP) developed by integrating the First Order Second Moment method (FOSM) with the deterministic slope stability model with precipitation (ASMP) using sliding block formulation. For the purpose of this study, the selected precipitation scenarios (rainfall intensity and duration) are obtained from past Met Office rainfall records and by applying the latest probabilistic model for predicting future precipitation projections for the UK (UKCP09).
It is demonstrated that by implementing APSMP the notional reliability and probability of upstream and downstream slope failure for small homogeneous earthfill embankment dams can be quantified. To reflect the critical conditions conducive to slope failure a benchmark has been developed, as a reference for comparison of the effect of precipitation on the notional reliability and performance classification of the embankment's slopes. By considering the probabilities of failure collated from APSMP and their associated performance, the impact critical precipitation effects could have on the notional level of engineering risk associated with slope failure is also identified. Hence, the dam's risk, as categorized by the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, can be reassessed in terms of engineering risk.
From the results obtained using APSMP a more informed assessment of small homogeneous earthfill embankment dams using limited information, including the level of uncertainty associated with the available site data, can therefore be carried out. Such an approach is therefore well placed to support and enhance the decision making process when evaluating the likelihood of dam failure, its impact on infrastructure performance and public safety, especially in relation to future climate effects.

The man at the center of what prosecutors allege is a more than $25 million scam to help wealthy families bribe their way into elite colleges is 58-year-old William Rick Singer.
A self-described serial entrepreneur who helped start an online private high school, along with several call centers, Mr. Singer appears to have found a lucrative niche counseling young people to help them get into college.

Miscarriage criminalized: racist charges against Marshae Jones
By Claudia Andrade
BTC graphic
This article was originally published by the PSL's socialist feminist magazine Breaking the Chains, a socialist perspective on women's liberation.
The recent indictment of Marshae Jones, a 27-year-old pregnant Black woman, sparked a fierce response across the country. She was charged with manslaughter when a stray bullet struck her abdomen, causing her to miscarry. Massive public outcry forced the DA to drop the charges on July 3. The fact that she was even charged in the first place is evidence of the continued racist and sexist attacks against working people.
On Dec. 4, 2018, Jones, five months pregnant at the time, was involved in an altercation with another woman, Ebony Jemison, that ended in gunfire. Outside of Birmingham, Ala., the two women confronted each other, and Jemison fired a warning shot. The bullet ricocheted off the ground and hit Jones in the abdomen. A grand jury charged Jones with manslaughter for the loss of the fetus, holding Jones accountable because she allegedly provoked the incident.
This incendiary indictment marks a fresh level to the ongoing attacks on women's rights. Women's and reproductive rights groups throughout the Southeast United States immediately responded. Indicting a Black mother for the loss of her child due to gun violence is undoubtedly a politically charged decision. In the wake of an ultra reactionary and anti-woman wave sweeping the nation, the charges served to further expand attempts to criminalize miscarriage.
Asserting the personhood of the fetus, Pleasant Grove Police Lt. Danny Reid condemned Jones: "The investigation showed that the only true victim in this was the unborn baby. It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby. She had no choice in being brought unnecessarily into a fight where she was relying on her mother for protection."
Reid characterized a fetus as a baby, as fetal personhood laws and right-wing rhetoric continually do. Fetal personhood laws, like the law in Alabama, elevate the rights of a developing fetus over the rights of the living, breathing woman carrying the fetus. These laws are part of a larger right-wing campaign against reproductive rights that have, over the last decade, sought to decrease access and undermine the right to abortion.
Jones was the victim of gun violence. However the fight started or escalated, wanton gun violence is plaguing our country—not reckless mothers. Ironically, gun ownership is currently less regulated than abortion and women's reproductive rights at present.
It is also ironic for the police to act as moral authorities in a case of gun violence. This highlights the brutal, repressive role of the police in working class communities of color. By the logic of Lt. Reid, pregnant mothers in war-torn territories should likewise face criminal charges for putting their fetuses at risk. Pregnant women and mothers under U.S. occupation or in U.S. war zones, like Jones, have no control over violence they face.
The political agenda of reactionary forces attempted to morph this tragic incident into another anti-abortion and anti-woman legal precedent. Speaking before the charges were dropped Amanda Reyes, executive director of the Yellowhammer Fund, illustrated the slippery slope pregnant women face, "Today, Marshae Jones is being charged with manslaughter for being pregnant and getting shot while engaging in an altercation with a person who had a gun. Tomorrow, it will be another Black woman, maybe for having a drink while pregnant. And after that, another, for not obtaining adequate prenatal care." An egregious legal overreach, the implications of this charge put pregnant women at risk of facing criminal charges for miscarriage. Purvi Patel, of Indiana, was the first woman in the United States to be charged, convicted and sentenced for miscarraige in 2015. She is not the only one. Kelli Leever-Driskel was also charged in February of 2018 under the same Indiana law and is in prison today.
Contradictions swirl around this case and expose the fragility of reforms protecting women's and reproductive rights. The wanted pregnancy of Marshae Jones was tragically ended and she undoubtedly continues to grieve her loss now intensified by the spurious charges brought against her which put her in the national spotlight. She is a victim not only of gun violence, but of a bigoted and misogynist system that subjects women of color to second-class citizenship and tries to assert the rights of a fetus over the mother.
Thirty-eight states recognize fetuses as homicide victims; Alabama also charges more women with crimes related to pregnancy than any other state. One of the possible charges women face is "chemical endangerment." Women are disproportionately punished for drug usage in a web of laws that increasingly ensnare mothers. Facing long prison sentences discourages mothers from seeking help and ultimately further jeopardizes their health.
Mothers are not solely responsible for the safety and health of their children or their developing fetuses; environmental and societal factors contribute more to a child's overall health than any individual choice. Working-class women, particularly women of color, struggle to maintain a minimum standard of living and are punished for subjecting their children to poverty. Companies, however, are not charged with manslaughter for polluting our environment and causing cancer rates to skyrocket in poor working class communities, as is the case in Louisiana's 'Cancer Alley.'
While the District Attorney Lynneice Washington denies any connection between Jones' indictment and the recent Alabama abortion ban, both are a reflection of a greater trend against women and reproductive rights. Policies, rulings, and laws are a reflection of societal attitudes and the ruling class exercising its power. Progressive policies are won on the blood and sacrifice of militant movements, but reactionary policies can quickly replace whatever reforms are won. This is why we need revolutionary change to change the system.
Despite the monumental victory Roe vs. Wade represents, a coordinated wave of attacks are more than chipping away at one of women's fundamental rights. This raises the question, how can women permanently protect their rights? Only a socialist system will guarantee the rights of women and people of color and protect abortion access by making it one part of universal healthcare along with prenatal care, birth control and other essential services.

TC00565718 / Colin Snapp

There is not simply one American landscape but a multitude of American landscapes – another for each attempt to record it. The variations in accessing this scenery are as infinite as the number of people trying to capture it. How we approach an image is precise only to that moment.
Colin Snapp, TC00555720, TC01035009, 2018. C-print, 177 x 115.5 cm / Courtesy the artist and Galerie Allen, Paris
Colin Snapp allows us to understand that a new reality of that landscape is created each time it is approached. Any of these reproductions are just as real as the next and the actual landscape is no more truthful than the reproduction. In this line of thought simultaneous existences are possible and mediating our perception is in no way a deception of reality.
Concerned with tourism and the way we record our time in nature, Snapp builds a complex layering of mediated experiences in American National Parks. Snapp's series of ongoing photographs titled TC Studies crystallize the ephemeral moment, employing a date stamp to the side of the image reinforces this singular and fleeting moment passed. These depictions of wild flora are in fact several times removed as the photograph is translated through video then re-photographed once more. The final c-print reveals an intriguing sculpturality as we see at a monumental scale the intricacies of the glass lattice of a video camera's flip out screen, each prism holding an effigy of nature.
The original source is now far removed from the resulting simulacra, bringing into question its validity and proximity to reality. Acknowledging that most of our experiences today come from screen-based reproductions, Snapp's exhibition TC00565718 measures distance in relation to truth and time. When Baudrillard reconsiders Ecclesiastes he states "The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth – it is the truth which conceals that there is none" reinforcing this by adding "The simulacrum is true".
Snapp's TC Studies construct an understanding of shared existence. We become aware of multiple entry and exit points to the same subject through his use of time, scale and mediation in his photomedia works. Each level of mediation does not lead to a distance from the truth but only to reinforce the multiple representations of truth.

Scholars Translate Ancient Guilt Trip in Letter From Soldier to Family
A new translation of an 1,800-year-old letter illustrates the hardships suffered by soldiers on the Roman frontier
Mary Beth Griggs
Roman Soldiers galdo trouchky
Even Roman soldiers got homesick. A new translation of an 1,800-year-old letter has just been published, and it illustrates the hardships suffered by soldiers on the Roman frontier. The letter, written on papyrus, was sent by a Roman soldier serving on the frontier of the empire back to his family and laments at their lack of contact.
From the letter:
"I pray that you are in good health night and day, and I always make obeisance before all the gods on your behalf. I do not cease writing to you, but you do not have me in mind. But I do my part writing to you always and do not cease bearing you (in mind) and having you in my heart. But you never wrote to me concerning your health, how you are doing. I am worried about you because although you received letters from me often, you never wrote back to me so that I may know how you (are)."
The soldier, Aurelios Polion, was probably stationed around what is now Budapest, according to the people who worked on the project. The letter is written to his brother, sister and mother, and in it he asks that they convey his greetings to a much wider range of relatives.
Letters from home were just as important to Roman soldiers as they are for soldiers deployed in faraway lands today: Other letters from Roman soldiers found in Britain indicate that families sent care packages to soldiers, including underwear and socks.
See a video about the translation of the letter from Rice University below.

1. Copy the folders ````model/abstract```` and ````models/omni_wheel```` to Gazebo's default model folder.

2. Copy the plugin folder ````plugin/demo```` to somewhere.

3. Since the STL files now have a new path, open both folders' ````model.sdf````, search for occurrences of ````.stl```` and replace the paths for the corresponding path of each STL file.

4. Create a new world in Gazebo (paused) and insert the model. It should be available in the **Insert** tab since you placed the files in Gazebo's default model folder.

5. Place the robot at **(x, y, z) = (0; 0; 0,01905)**.

6. Save the world and close Gazebo.

7. Compile the plugin, following either Gazebo's tutorial or my tutorial using NetBeans.

8. Open the world file with a text editor. Search for ````<plugin name=```` and replace the path after ````filename=```` by the new plugin path.

9. Open the world in Gazebo and hit play. The robot should start moving: it will repeatedly decide on a random **(x, y, θ)** and move to it.

10. If you want to change the robot's behaviour, follow Gazebo's tutorials as explained in the **README** and set the plugin path like mentioned above as necessary.

10. If you want to change the robot itself, like adding actuators and sensors to it, follow my tutorial on how to make a new model. How to work on the rest of the robot is up to you, but you can copy my plugin's code and paste it in your plugin's code and just call the movement methods to move the robot.
