Enter YouVisit, a platform that creates interactive virtual tours of occasionally hard to access places (namely of restaurants and universities, though it has also showcased festivals and sporting events). YouVisit aligned with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia with this mission in mind: The result, Mirror to the Soul, is a five-minute whirlwind that gives the viewer a full picture of the event, from backstage to the front row to the street style scrum and an Uber in between. "Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia has always been tech-savvy," said its founder and president, Alexander Shumsky, via email, noting that MBFW Russia started full-scale live-streaming of its runway shows five years ago. "The technology is developing so fast," said Shumsky, noting that YouVisit worked on a VR "lookbook" for some Moscow-based designers to allow a viewer to survey runway looks from all angles, immediately access more information, and, ideally, eventually have the possibility to place an order. "It could be much more fun than browsing websites, and more useful for marketing," he added.
Mirror to the Soul is not the fashion industry's first VR rodeo—Topshop held a three-day flagship VR experience back in February 2014; Dior presented a headset backstage at its February 2015 show; this past August, Rebecca Minkoff sent out a VR mailer to watch the label's Fall 2015 runway; and the VR production company Jaunt distributed a cliff-jumping video it made for outerwear-minded retailer The North Face in April. YouVisit's project with MBFW Russia is unique, according to blogger and photographer Craig Arend (who served as connector and a sort of catalyst for the parties involved), because of its simultaneous multiple points of view and the complexity of coverage. "Everybody wants to be in on this early," said Arend, citing informational meetings with tech-friendly fashion brands like Kenneth Cole and Ralph Lauren (which is no stranger to tech advances, having once projected a runway show as a four-dimensional hologram in Central Park, remember) and Ray Kurzweil's 2001 "Law of Accelerating Returns." And who can blame brands for biting? The retail climate is increasingly dire, and customer engagement is at an all-time low. The trade papers are full of the news of one of fashion's premier PR firms picking up a geo-social app primarily used for "cruising," with the hopes of marketing fashion and beauty brands to its audience. The concept of submerging your desired demographic into your branding does have a certain ring to it. "We can offer that kind of immersion and intimate access that's delivering that next-level potential to the industry," said YouVisit CEO Abi Mandelbaum. "We're excited to bring that to life." Whether runway shows cease to be relevant—or which brand will be the first to jump—remains to be seen, but there's one thing for certain: The arms race is on.
"The power of VR is one of access," said Mandelbaum, who described the sales and development of VR headsets as a faster-growing category than when smartphones were in their initial stages, and who compares the current clunky headsets to the brick-width cell phones associated with the early '80s. (Which is to say, fancy fashion-friendly models are surely on their way.) And by access, there is both the viewer's (the ability to reap all the benefits of being somewhere without actually being there—which, in the case of foreign Fashion Weeks, often requires airfare, hotel stays, and, of course, an initial invitation to attend, as well as, it's worth noting, a hefty carbon footprint) and the content's full access to you, as you fully immerse yourself, often courtesy of sensory-depriving headsets and earphones. (YouVisit reps repeatedly cited their visitor engagement at more than 10 minutes, which in the world of the easily distracted and "tl;dr" is nothing to sneeze at.) With a VR headset and his program, asserts Mandelbaum (who appeared during this reporter's YouVisit New York office visit via live video feed from Florida), you're more than in the door. You're a fly on the wall. But the best news, for brands? You're a captive audience.
As with other VR experiences, users can either plug into their headset (the Facebook-owned Oculus Rift is set to debut early next year); assemble one from a pack, like Google's Cardboard device, which The New York Times distributed to its subscribers in November; or watch Mirror to the Soul on their smartphones or computer screens for a more traditional—if slightly flatter—view. Fully narrated and intended as an immersive experience, users should "imagine it as a short documentary," said YouVisit writer and director Ben Leonberg—only unlike a traditional film, you, by virtue of turning your head, don't have to focus on any parts you don't care about. Or as Mandelbaum put it, "The viewer is the director; the viewer can say, 'Oh, I want to see the dress, or the designer,' and really engage and focus on the thing they're most interested in." Which is to say, in the me-me-me millennial world, virtual reality has the possibility to be all about you.


While California Governor Jerry Brown and other elected officials like the "Climate Mayors" are heralded for their work to tackle pollution, a new report argues that the policies they implement can actually exacerbate the harm inflicted on communities of lower-income people of color.
The report, titled "Paying to Pollute: The Environmental Injustice of Pollution Trading," was released yesterday (November 13) by environmental advocacy organizations Food & Water Watch and Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice. It examines what happens when water and air polluters build facilities in lower-income communities of color, then opt to pay their way out of reducing emissions.
"Paying to Pollute" focuses primarily on pollution trading, programs in which industries can buy pollutant credits in lieu of reducing emissions. They purchase the credits from other pulluters who are more willing—or better equipped—to lower their emissions, thereby swapping responsibility for money. The report finds that market-based pollution credit programs are detrimental to laws like the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, making them ineffective in protecting the people who need them most.
The shift to market-based environmental regulation has daunting environmental justice implications for minority and lower-income communities. Companies trade pollution credits with little or no public input. This lack of transparency can concentrate emissions and exacerbate the persistent inequitable health and economic burdens in disadvantaged communities. Unlike the regulatory process, pollution trading leaves almost no room for political or legal recourse.
These programs contribute to concentrations of facilites where toxic materials are dumped. And, according to the report, these sites are often located in close proximity to neighborhoods inhabited by Black or Latinx residents.
The report proposes five recommendations to curb the harmful consequences of pollution trading. They include more general solutions, such as Congress requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to enforce environmental civil rights violations through punishable actions, as well as ones specifically focused on pollution trading. "States must halt market-based programs and restore, improve and expand regulatory pollution controls," the report reads.

The primary goal of these grants is to reduce injury and prevent fire-related deaths among high-risk populations. In 2005, Congress reauthorized funding for FP&S, and expanded the eligible uses of funds to include Firefighter Safety Research and Development. For more information on fire prevention grants, visit www.fema.gov/fire-prevention-safety-grants.
FEMA and partners released the first video presentation from the inaugural PrepTalks Symposium, featuring Dr. Dennis Mileti's "Modernizing Public Warning Messaging." PrepTalks are 15-to-20-minute presentations by subject-matter experts and national/international thought leaders, designed to spread new ideas, spark conversation, and promote innovative leadership for the issues confronting emergency managers now and over the next 20 years.
The inaugural PrepTalks symposium occurred January 29, 2018 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Eight thought leaders representing a variety of disciplines challenged the audience to embrace new perspectives and innovation in the field of emergency management. The video of Dr. Mileti's presentation and an accompanying Discussion Guide are available at www.fema.gov/preptalks. The next PrepTalk video presentation is scheduled for posting later this month.
Upcoming PrepTalk video topics include pandemics, lessons learned about disaster survivors, and the importance of social capital in disaster mitigation and recovery. These videos and discussion guide presentations will be released in the coming months. The next PrepTalks Symposium is tentatively scheduled for fall 2018.
PrepTalks are a partnership of FEMA, the International Association of Emergency Managers, the National Emergency Management Association, the National Homeland Security Consortium, and the Naval Postgraduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security.
The unprecedented number and intensity of major disaster incidents Americans are encountering has brought heightened focus on the importance of emergency public information. FEMA's public information officer (PIO) curriculum plays a key role in meeting the training needs of the individuals tasked with critical message delivery.
FEMA's Emergency Management Institute (EMI) is offering the Advanced Public Information Officer course on July 30-August 3, 2018 at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The course provides public information officers the opportunity to increase their knowledge and skills for establishing, managing and working in a joint information center (JIC). The training fosters an environment where participants can apply advanced skills during a multi-day functional exercise designed to test and enhance their ability to analyze, coordinate, process, and create information in a fast-paced, realistic environment.
Using interactive lectures from subject matter experts and an intense functional exercise, participants learn skills they can use during escalating incidents, including strategic communications and incident action planning, as it relates to JIC operations.
To register, contact the National Emergency Training Center Admissions Office at (301) 447-1035 or netcadmissions@fema.dhs.gov no later than June 15, 2018. For information on prerequisites and course schedules, go to http://training.femac.gov/programs/pio/.

The Nintendo DS Killer App
The hot issue in gaming today is the new portable war. The game industry just loves wars. First there was Atari, it was the only choice. Then came NES, again the only choice. There was just no arguing. But when the 16 bit era began there were two, the SNES and the Genesis. Sega vs. Nintendo. The NES made a game console a staple in any family household. For children who had one it was the ultimate toy. I had plenty of other toys, but when I was a kid, the video game consoles got the most use for the most hours. It was also the most expensive if you added in all the games. And since not everyone is rich, they can usually afford to get only one. Thus, when there are multiple consoles to choose from, people must decide. Thus, wars begin.
Ever since the epic Game Boy vs. Game Gear war Nintendo has been the king of portable gaming. With Tetris, the Narsil of the handheld world, in hand there was just no stopping the Game Boy. To this day, mainly due to continued backwards compatibility, the Game Boy has remained the only handheld system to mean squat despite serious competition.
But now Nintendo is taking a risk. The Gamecube got a false reputation as a system for little kids and suffered for it, despite being extremely profitable for Nintendo. So Nintendo got creative. While the other companies are re-hashing the same played out games year after year, Nintendo looked at Konami's phenomena of Bemani and started thinking. First they linked the GBA into the GCN for FF:CC. They made the e-reader. They made the wavebird. They made WarioWare. And now, they are making the DS. And after that the coup de grace, the revolution will be revealed. But these are untested waters. How will gamers respond to this? We'll have to wait and see.
I've posted it in various places, but this is my prediction and the reasons for it. The DS will reign. Here is why. First off, think about this. In the absolute worst situation the DS will be the next Virtual Boy. At the absolute best everybody will buy one and there will be tons of great games. And the price is pretty much gauranteed to be less than $200. Because of this, the DS will be a good investment no matter what happens. And because its a good investment, people will buy it. The PSP on the other hand might be a bad investment. Its going to be expensive, very expensive. And there is no guarantee of it being awesome. If it fails then everyone who bought it will be sitting high and dry. The DS is guaranteed to have a Zelda game, worth the price alone. The PSP is guaranteed to have GTA and Gran Turismo. Now look back in time to when the Game Boy beat the Game Gear. The reason was not hardware, Nintendo admits it. The reason was that the games that were released for the Game Boy were portable games. The same way that PC games like Quake don't do well on home systems is the same reason that console games don't translate into succesful portable games. Nintendo has always made games like Advance Wars. Truly portable games that would not work well anywhere else. The PSP is going to attempt to directly translate PS2 games to a smaller screen with fewer buttons. That wont work as history has shown. The GBA is so good that people buy Game Boy Players. They want to play their portable games on their TVs. When the PSP can manage that it can beat the DS.
Now that we have established that the DS will be such a success we can talk about the killer app. While talking in the car yesterday me and my roommate came to an epiphany. The killer app of the DS was discovered. The pieces of the puzzle were as follows: wireless, two screens, stylus, and the need for only one cartridge for 16 people to play a multiplayer game. What do these pieces make when you put them together? I'll tell you. Board games in the car. That's right. Are you tired of losing pieces to all those magnetic board games? Did your travel version of Connect 4 fall under the seat? The DS is the ultimate solution. Imagine sitting in the library and having a pick up game of Monopoly or chess. Two screens, one shows your stuff, the other screen shows the game board. The stylus makes play casual and relaxed. If the DS connects to the internet you can use it to do real gambling. You can play a few hands of hold 'em on the train ride into work for real money. You can't tell me there's no money in that. But for me and my friends the German Board games are the big ticket. We just love the purely strategic and tactical games involving lots of little wooden bits and pieces. With the DS we can finally play Puerto Rico or El Grande from the back of the van on the way to a geek convention. It's geek heaven.
So while the DS will probably capture the hearts of current GBA lovers it will also be an instant sell to geeks everywhere. All the people who hang on social networks. People who play board games and strategy games. The PSP's best hope is to get all the common folk who aren't serious gamers. But the Playstation demographic just doesn't play portable games. If they did, they would have bought GBAs. They can't expect to steal market from Nintendo. The only hope is for the market to expand, and its not likely. Especially since the DS has the killer solution to all of life's portable gaming problems. Time to go to bed. I'll see you guys next year, in a cafe. We'll have us a pick up game of Settlers.

HMS Richmond sailors reunite with families in Devonport return - live updates
After a lengthy trip back home, HMS Richmond and all on board will arrive back into Devonport this morning - and she will make quite the entrance.
Erin BlackVideo Journalist

Zhara Simpson
Two hundred and twenty-two days after deploying, Type 23 frigate HMS Richmond has returned to Devonport following the completion of Carrier Strike Group's prestigious 2021 deployment.
The only Plymouth warship on the CSG 21 deployment, HMS Richmond initially departed her home base-port to conduct Exercise Strike Warrior in early May.
She then went on to join the UK Carrier Strike Group and HMS Queen Elizabeth on a journey that would take her to the Indo-Pacific, demonstrating the Global Britain vision of the UK Government.
With a distance underway of just under 50, 000 nautical miles, HMS Richmond has travelled from the North Atlantic to the Western Pacific, covering a total distance over twice the circumference of earth.
HMS Richmond will begin her transit into Devonport Dockyard on Thursday morning at around 9.15 and it is hoped she will be alongside by 10am.
After their epic seven and half month journey, halfway around the world and back again, HMS Richmond will arrived in Devonport on the morning of 9 December 21, with around 800 family and friends on the jetty for an emotional homecoming ceremony.

Jess, Ruby and Lenny
"He went off a little bit before so has been away for eight months and this is the longest one.
"We have done it for six months and a couple of three months before."
"I am looking forward to clocking off and he can take on parent duties, I have told him as much.
"Literally clocking off, see you later- I'm clocking off.
"It's like when you go on the first date and start a new job all in one- it's so exciting.
"We are going to KFC on the way home because it's what he's been craving since day two.

Coarse sediment with a particle size greater than 0.05mm is the main deposit of riverbed in the lower Yellow River, the Loess Plateau is one of the concentrated source of coarse sediment, warping dam is one of the important engineering measures for gully control. Jiuyuangou basin is a typical small basin in the first sub region of hilly-gullied loess region, twenty warping dams in Jiuyuangou basin was selected as research object, samples of sediment along the main line of dam from upper, middle to lower reaches of dam fields and samples of undisturbed soil in slope of dam control basin were taken to carry out particle gradation analysis, in the hope of clearing reducing capacity on coarse sediment of different types of warping dam through the experimental data. The results show that the undisturbed soil in slope of dam control basin has characteristics of standard loess, the particle size are mainly distributed in 0.025~0.05mm, and the 0.05mm particle size of Jiuyuangou basinof loess is an obvious boundary; Particle size of sediment in 15 warping dam of Jiuyuangou basin are mainly distributed in 0.031~0.05mm with the dam tail is greater than dam front in general. The separation effect of horizontal pipe drainage is better than shaft drainage for which particle size greater than 0.05mm, notch dam is for particle size between 0.025~0.1 mm, and fill dam is for particle size between 0.016 ~ 0.1 mm, they all have a certain function in the sediment sorting.

Cleveland water department to replace lead service lines to about 450 daycare centers
Updated: May. 18, 2021, 5:09 p.m. |
Published: May. 18, 2021, 5:09 p.m.
Cleveland's water department plans to replace lead service lines to 450 daycare centers in Cuyahoga County and surrounding areas beginning this summer.
Robert Higgs, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland's water department plans to replace lead service lines to 450 daycare centers in Cuyahoga County and surrounding areas beginning this summer.
The program is supported by funding from the state of Ohio. The state initially committed $1 million toward the work, but then added an additional $500,000.
Mayor Frank Jackson on Tuesday signed legislation to accept that additional money from the state. The legislation was approved on Monday by the City Council.
Exposure to lead can lead to brain damage. In Cleveland it is a huge problem, where as much as 80% of the housing stock is in poor condition and rife with peeling paint – a common source for lead exposure.
But lead service lines are another source of exposure.
The water department's pilot project will address lead lines that Cleveland water owns, servicing daycare centers in Cuyahoga County and adjacent counties.
The project involves the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services and the city.
Targeting daycare centers is a smart strategy, Water Commissioner Alex Margevicius said recently.
"You have high concentrations of younger children and those are the ones that are perhaps most susceptible to issues with lead," Margevicius told the City Council.
The city expects to have the paperwork for the program settled with the state in about a month. But the city already is moving so that it will be ready to begin work as soon as allowed.
"We are currently working already with identifying and reaching out and contacting them and encouraging them to take part in this initiative," Margevicius said.
About 300 of the daycare facilities are in the city of Cleveland, Margevicius said. Those include free-standing storefronts, attached storefronts and daycare centers in other buildings, including homes.
In addition to replacing the service lines, the water department will supply the daycare centers with lead filter pitchers, a 30-day supply of sample bottles for lead analysis and educational materials about the health impacts of lead poisoning.

Chronic consumption of cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) for 12 weeks improves episodic memory and regional brain perfusion in healthy older adults: A randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-groups feasibility study

Background: Ageing is highly associated with cognitive decline and modifiable risk factors such as diet are believed to protect against this process. Specific dietary components and in particular, (poly)phenol-rich fruits such as berries have been increasingly recognised for their protection against age-related neurodegeneration. However, the impact of cranberries on cognitive function and neural functioning in older adults remains unclear.
Design: A 12-week parallel randomised placebo-controlled trial of freeze-dried cranberry powder was conducted in 60 older adults aged between 50 and 80 years. Cognitive assessment, including memory and executive function, neuroimaging and blood sample collection were conducted before and after the intervention to assess the impact of daily cranberry consumption on cognition, brain function and biomarkers of neuronal signalling.
Results: Cranberry supplementation for 12 weeks was associated with improvements in visual episodic memory in aged participants when compared to placebo. Mechanisms of action may include increased regional perfusion in the right entorhinal cortex, the accumbens area and the caudate in the cranberry group. Significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol during the course of the intervention was also observed. No significant differences were, however, detected for BDNF levels between groups.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that daily cranberry supplementation (equivalent to 1 small cup of cranberries) over a 12-week period improves episodic memory performance and neural functioning, providing a basis for future investigations to determine efficacy in the context of neurological disease.

The Up T-Shirt
Find Our Products - Sit & Stand Up Straight
Posture Improving & Support Shirt - Good Posture Shirt
UpCouture
1. Questions in relation with the Up T-shirt
What makes the Up T-shirt really efficient to improve posture?
The Up T-shirt has a unique and internationally patented system, which uses the natural movement of the arm to remind and facilitate the movement and alignment of the shoulders in the most aesthetic and relaxing posture. The Up T-shirt trains you to bring your shoulderblades closer one to the other and push your shoulders slightly downwards. Try it as you read: by doing so, you straighten up your entire back.
The efficiency of the Up T-shirt is based on a "double-8 shaped" physical elastic resistance, which goes through the upper-back around the two shoulders (over, behind, in front and on the side) and which is anchored on each upper-arm. The anchor on each upper-arm is essential as this is the strategic place where, with a minimum of pressure, a maximum of effect can be obtained on the position of the shoulders. The "double-8 shaped" resistance is completed by a horizontal resistance also from one shoulder to the other.
If your shoulders leave their straight alignment, you'll feel a physical gentle pressure to straighten the shoulders. This pressure comes from the fact that the resistant "double-8" wants to find its balance again, said balance being found when the shoulders are in alignment with the upper-back.
The goal of the Up T-shirt is not to maintain the back firmly, as a rigid maintenance would weaken the muscles of the back, but to press in the right direction as soon as the shoulders leave their ideal alignment.
How can the Up T-shirt remain comfortable while it reminds us to stand straight?
This is another great innovation of the Up T-shirt: it uses the movement of our arms to remind us, through an adequate resistance, which is the right position of the shoulders and it pushes, in a subtle manner, the shoulders in the right direction. The Up T-shirt has no rigid or semi-rigid parts.
How is the adequate resistance incorporated in the Up T-shirt?
We have incorporated within organic cotton fibers an extra-thin film with ideal resistance, so that the Up T-shirt has a maximum of both efficiency and comfort.
Does the resistance incorporated in the Up T-shirt lose its effect over time?
We've conducted extensive testing and finally carefully chosen an elastic material having the perfect modulus and a 100% recovery power. This means the Up T-shirt will not lose its unique effect over time..
Why is the Up T-shirt more expensive than a "normal" t-shirt?
The making of the Up T-shirt needs a very specific material, as well as much more time and work than a normal t-shirt:
1. there's an extra-thin and resistant film on the upper back and around the shoulders of the Up T-shirt (incorporated in-between organic cotton layers), which ensures the right modulus and a 100% recovery after elongation. This special film for which the 100% recovery is guaranteed by the producer, is produced by only two firms in the world and is unfortunately very expensive.
2. The process of incorporating the film in-between organic cotton layers must be done in 3 different technical steps, through 3 different specialists.
3. The sewing of the t-shirt itself, because of the precise adjusting of the resistant parts, is more delicate and time-consuming.
4. In spite of the precise and long work needed to make the Up T-shirt, and in spite of the fact that work may be cheaper in China, the Up T-shirt has been completely made in France.
5. The cotton used is organic cotton with the GOTS certificate ensuring that the textile used has been produced while respecting ethical and environmental rules – but this last point doesn't really influence the price because of the weight of the previous points above.
The fitting
How do I choose my size?
You can choose your size using the size chart available on the Product page on the Online store. Please note that the Up T-shirt is most efficient when it is fitted. Please also note that you ought to choose your size according to the size of your shoulders and upper-arms in particular.
Where can I find the Up T-shirt?
UpCouture products are mainly sold online, as this is the best way for us to be there for you if you have questions, comments or suggestions. Our desire is that you have access to the Up T-shirt where you wish it most. We would therefore be happy to hear your suggestions in relation to the places you wish to see the Up T-shirt (concept store / shop, city, country). All your suggestions (sent to contact@upcouture.com) will be carefully examined and as soon as we see many of you wish the same place, we will certainly try our best to get the Up T-shirt available in that particular place you've suggested.
How do I recognize the right shoulder position?
Stand in front of a mirror, sideways so as to see the profile of your shoulders, and find out the position in which you're the most attractive. Memorize this position of the shoulders and the Up T-shirt will remind it to you whenever you need it during the day.
Is it possible that I feel a little discomfort with the Up T-shirt?
If you feel a little discomfort with the Up T-shirt it normally means that you need to straighten your shoulders and adopt a more aesthetic posture. If you continue to feel real discomfort in spite of the holding straight of your shoulders, then you should probably try the size above.
Is it possible that I don't feel any effect when I wear the Up T-shirt?
The Up T-shirt's effect will vary depending on the posture and activities of the wearer. If you don't feel the effect, it means that you already have a dream posture… or that you are wearing a size too large for you... To find out, try to put your shoulders forward : if you still don't feel anything, then it means that you should try a smaller size.
I have a back problem, can I still wear the Up T-shirt?
If you have a medical problem, we recommend that you show the Up T-shirt to your doctor and ask his advice for your particular case.
Can I wash the Up T-shirt in the washing machine?
Yes, you may wash the Up T-shirt in the washing machine at 30°.
NO tumble dry.
How should I iron the Up T-shirt?
You may iron the Up T-shirt inside-out on heat 2 points (heat for wool and silk). Do NOT use steam on the resistant part.
It is recommended to sometimes iron the Up T-shirt specifically on its resistant part. Do not use steam. Don't worry, the inside of the Up T-shirt is also made of Organic cotton, and the film is in-between cotton layers, so there's no risk that your iron will burn the film.
Does my Up T-shirt need any specific care?
With time/numerous washes, it may happen that the resistant part needs new adherence to the t-shirt. In this case, you turn the t-shirt inside-out, you set your iron on point 2 (heat for wool and silk) without steam and you press and leave the iron about 10 seconds on the resistant part which needs to stick better to the t-shirt. Please ensure your Up T-shirt is dry, and it is laid on a flat surface where you iron. The bonding power of the film is very strong, so the process should be easy. Your Up T-shirt will keep its power as on its first day, because the resistance of the film remains the same, even if detached from the t-shirt.
Where has the Up T-shirt been made?
The Up T-shirt is made in France.
Is the inside of the Up T-shirt also in organic cotton?
Yes, everything that touches your skin is in organic cotton. The technological part is incorporated between cotton layers, so it has no direct contact with your skin. And in any case, the technological part has also been developed to be friendly on the human skin..
The Up T-shirt is intended for whom?
The Up T-shirt is intended for all men and women subject to earth gravity, and who'd like to evolve in beauty and with a maximum of sex-appeal.
Can I wear the Up T-shirt every day?
The Up T-shirt is very comfortable to wear daily. It is made of organic cotton and soft. And you will see, it will soon become your best clothes friend.
What is the specific sign of the Up T-shirt from the outside?
Your beauty, your presence, but also the applied triangle on the bottom of the t-shirt.
Why didn't you put your logo on the triangle?
We chose a signature sign, without logo – while it reminds the triangle of the logo – because we find this more trendy and classy.
2. Questions relating to your orders
What do I do with my personal account?
You may use your personal account to register and follow orders, register several addresses and also see your past orders. You may also use it to track the status of your order.
Simply go to "My Account" and click on "edit my personal information."
Unfortunately it is not possible to order by phone, it must be done through the internet..
How do I know my order has been taken into account?
You know that your order has been correctly taken into account when you receive an email confirmation of your order.
I am a first-time buyer, can I trust your website?
We use a secured payment means which is operated by the Bank HSBC. The payment process goes through the security of the bank.
If you have a PayPal account or wish to pay through a Credit card through PayPal, you may also. Payment through PayPal is secured by PayPal's security.
We have chosen the most reputable security partners so that your payments can be made with the highest safety standards.

Bachelorette Hannah Recap: Fantasy Suites
As the episode wrapped with Bachelorette Hannah flipping off the rejection SUV that carried Luke into the onset of a tropical storm, I took a moment to marvel at the two-hour spectacular which will forever be known in Bachelor Nation as "the windmill episode." Never have I gasped at the television so ardently or wavered in my ability to pick a lane as to which suitor I think will win
in Bachelorette, Recaps
Much like that creepy gang member guy who challenges Danny Zuko to a race at Thunder Road, Hannah Brown lives by the same credo: "The rules are…there ain't no rules." She's a woman who needs clarity and if that means she has to shake things up the way they are traditionally done in the Bachelor franchise, so be it. This is her life at stake, people. And she's not going
I think the only way we are going to get through the remaining episodes of Hannah's journey to potentially screw up her life is through the power of camaraderie, deep breathing exercises, and watching old clips of Sean Lowe's season on YouTube.

Y'all, I've come up with a theory that I think might shock you. Please don't tell me if I'm right, because I don't do spoilers and I'd rather be surprised (read: disappointed) in real time, the way Our Host Chris Harrison intended. I think Luke might take this all the way. Or at least to the fantasy suites. I've been touting "producer's pick" here and on the podcast for weeks.
Bachelorette Hannah Recap: The Luke Ness Monster
Last week I was really worried about Bachelorette Hannah. She appeared to have a permanent seat on the struggle bus. Her picker seemed to be off kilter and her inability to recognize the giant red flag waving in her face was concerning. This week, I'm worried about the guys.

Q: How to run Apache beam write to big query based on conditions I am trying to read values from Google pubsub and Google storage and put those values into big query based on count conditions i.e., if the values exists, then it should not insert the value, else it can insert a value.
My code looks like this:
p_bq = beam.Pipeline(options=pipeline_options1)

logging.info('Start')

"""Pipeline starts. Create creates a PCollection from what we read from Cloud storage"""
test = p_bq | beam.Create(data)

"""The pipeline then reads from pub sub and then combines the pub sub with the cloud storage data"""
BQ_data1 = p_bq | 'readFromPubSub' >> beam.io.ReadFromPubSub(
    'mytopic') |  beam.Map(parse_pubsub, param=AsList(test))

where 'data' is the value from Google storage and reading from pubsub is the value from Google Analytics. Parse_pubsub returns 2 values: one is the dictionary and the other is count (which states the value is present or not in the table)
count=comparebigquery(insert_record)
return (insert_record,count)

How to provide condition to big query insertion since the value is in Pcollection

New edit:
class Process(beam.DoFn):

def process1(self, element, trans):
    if element['id'] in trans:
        # Emit this short word to the main output.
        yield pvalue.TaggedOutput('present',element)
    else:
        # Emit this word's long length to the 'above_cutoff_lengths' output.
        yield pvalue.TaggedOutput(
            'absent', present)

test1 = p_bq | "TransProcess" >> beam.Create(trans)

where trans is the list
BQ_data2 = BQ_data1 | beam.ParDo(Process(),trans=AsList(test1)).with_outputs('present','absent')
present_value=BQ_data2.present
absent_value=BQ_data2.absent

Thank you in advance

A: You could use
beam.Filter(lambda_function)

after the beam.Map step to filter out elements that return False when passed to the lambda_function.

A: You can split the PCollection in a ParDo function using Additional-outputs based on a condition.
Don't forget to provide output tags to the ParDo function .with_outputs()
And when writing elements of a PCollection to a specific output, use .TaggedOutput()
Then you select the PCollection you need and write it to BigQuery.

Q: Java: why is a heap-overflow NOT triggering a heap-dump? I am trying to analyze an application that again and again dies with a heap out-of-memory.
The application is started with:
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256M -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/opt/our_app_here/heapdump.dmp"

Before the application dies completely I see multiple entries like this in the log:
2021-01-11 07:17:05,039 [ERROR] [User=xxxxx] [class-name-here] Exception occured: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

These errors happen in a try-catch where they are obviously caught and logged.
Amazingly the application continues but - not too surprisingly - crashes shortly after.
Why does the JVM not write any heap-dump in that out-of-memory situation? I thought the "HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError" option was meant to trigger exactly that. Such a heap-dump would be most helpful if not essential to be able to figure out where our memory leak sits.
This is using Java 8 (AdooptOpenJDK 8u252) on SLES 12 and there is definitely enough diskspace left for the heap-dump!


What's your market footprint like?
Meaning, where do you tread?
Are you making a hash of it?
Do you connect the dots?
Does your one action span across multiple goals?
You are your own light.
Nobody can help you, except you, ultimately.
Therefore, gear yourself up, to win the game for yourself.
It possibly won't come to exist, that you do one market thing.
Even if you're trading one single entity, there are many actions that go along with this one single activity.
Yes, we're talking about market actions.
The sum total of your market actions is your market footprint.
Each action should add to you.
If an action is not adding to you, don't do it.
Even an action that stops further loss adds to you, for example.
Also, make your actions connect across segments.
Let's say I'm eyeing a stock for a possible purchase, or a repurchase. Stock gaps down next morning, before my action. Aha. Hold. 60-70% of all gap-downs play out further. There's a solid reason for gap-downs. So… hold. Yeah, action on hold. Why? I will possibly get a better price for reentry later, there's a 60-70% chance of that. Thus, an action now won't add to me. Action postponed. What do I do with the money set aside for the repurchase? Liquid mutual fund purchase. Online. Seamless. Connecting across? Absolutely. I'm simultaneously accumulating liquid funds to later go in for a private-placement NCD. Therefore, my one action from the equity segment has connected across to the debt segment. Yeah, connectivity. Additive. Stopped me from possible high entry. Made upcoming NCD purchase more possible by adding to its intended corpus. Additive Connectivity.
Yeah, make yours a winning footprint.
Before signing off, I'd like to share with you that i've just decided to take additive connectivity to the nth level for myself.
Sure, I'll be sharing more examples.
Sharing brings joy to everyone, even to the person who is sharing.

Linear Algebra and Its Applications
by David C Lay
Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear transformations), are not easily understood, and require time to assimilate. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students'... Read more

SAVAGE WATER
(1978,US.)
"THE MIGHTY COLORADO RUNS RED."
directed by: Paul Kener
starring: Ron Berger, Gil Van Waggoner (and a cast of thousands)
(back of video blurb):
"The magnificent river has torn the guts out of the Colorado desert and created the Grand Canyon. It's (sic) waters thrash and thunder their way over the rapids, ripping apart everything that floats.
Brave men and fools challenge this, the most savage of all rivers. But it's not the thuggery of the rapids that stabs fear into these in-land surf riders ... it's the killer on board that's going to turn the mighty Colorado into a river-of-blood!!! "
choice dialogue:
"That man tried to urinate on me through the potty tent walls, just to torment me!"
- the action reaches a crescendo of sorts.
[review by Justin Kerswell]
There is a video tape; you watch it and then, seven days later, you - well, you don't die exactly - but you'll be more than a little lucky not to be propelled into a deep, boredom induced coma.
Chasing slasher Holy Grails is fine (in fact, the chasing is usually 90% of the fun), the trouble comes when you actually track one of the buggers down. Just once it'd be great to rediscover a lost classic; a slasher gem that time, and everyone else forgot. SAVAGE WATER is certainly no treasure (put it this way, it's more kidney stone than gem stone). In-fact, this soggy clunker is in the running for the worst slasher flick of the golden era! It may come as no great surprise that this monumentally dreadful movie was never released on any format in America (it may have played on Auntie Marylu's living-room wall in Buttfuk, Idaho, I just don't know, but it never got a VHS, let alone a DVD, release there). However, someone - who could probably sell snow to eskimos - sold it to Europe, and so, one fateful morning I stumbled across a dusty copy sitting amongst the other debris at a Sunday morning boot sale. I can't say I wasn't warned, I picked it up and paid the man 50 shiny new pence (his smile alone hinted that I'd freed him of a curse!), stuffed it in my bag and shamefacedly took that diabolical lump of plastic home home with me.
So, there it sat, unwatched, just another tape on the shelf. However, sometimes, late at night, I would get that uneasy feeling that someone - or something - was watching me and, turning around, the pallid, greyish box that contained THAT film always caught my eye. Eventually, I could take it no longer. Feeling a little like Pandora, I opened the box, apologised profusely to my VCR and slipped it in ...
I had been warned (I'll never learn), but it was oh so much worse than I could ever have feared. ... Beginning with an ominous voice, intoning over a shaky visage of the Grand Canyon and a muddy looking Colorado River: "Tower Walls and waterfalls that seem impossible to be. This majestic canyon river that so many come to see. But it's only there for those that dare, to take its challenge. Bold and free. Oh, Colorado, you're so beautiful to me ...". As if that poet-laurette worthy word play wasn't enough it continues, only the atonal voice actually begins to 'sing', accompanied by a country guitar. ... My natural instincts were to grab the remote and make it stop (MAKE IT STOP!), but I had to be strong. I had to ...
SAVAGE WATER, my friends, is the 'epic' tale of murder among tourists on a white water rafting holiday. Sounds like it has potential, sure, but don't be fooled. Much of the first third of the film is made up of people fiddling about with dingy's (and even more talking about them), as we, the unfortunate audience, are introduced to the 'cast'. There's the crew of the 'Wild West White Water Rafters', who all stand around and prattle on and on about the task at hand. There's the elderly German couple, who drunkenly drive into the picture to the sound of a loud marching band (and for some strange reason "Herr Doc Professor Mueller" shakes a fist full of sausage at passing traffic!). There's the comedy Sheik Mamood, who has never been kissed and, in an incongruously sing-song Indian accent, is unable to string more than two words of dialogue together at one time (it's perhaps the worst performance I have *ever* seen - and that's really saying something!). The brash, nouveaux-rich middle-aged couple from California: the wife (who seems to have gone to the Edith Massey school of method acting) screeching to one of the tour staff, "You'll have to tell me all the exciting things we're going to do on this trip! It must be wonderful to be a river boat man like Tom Sawyer or Mark Twain.". Then there's the hippie-chick who wants to be at one with nature, "If there really is a creator on this Earth, I can't imagine a better place to meet him than down in that canyon!". Plus, the suspicious sounding psychiatrist in the loud shirt and bottle top shades, who boasts to his fellow travelers that he'd like to nudge himself over the edge into insanity as an experiment, but he's worried he might not be able to come back! ... Oh, there's more (all making their one and only foray into the movie business, I'll wager) but my strength is ebbing and I have to get on with the unfurling, er, plot ...
Finally, this bloated tourist group are transported to the river in a luxurious cattle truck, and plant their fat asses in the dingy's and head for the rapids, but any sense of impending excitement is soon evaporates as one of the many prep-talks the tourists (and we, the poor audience) have to listen to gets under way: "There's a thing called hypothermia - a killer of the unprepared!", babbles one of the guides; before adding the cliffhanger, "We have a portable potty", just as they dip and bob on the frothy tide. And, of course, with a cast this monumentally wooden you know there's no chance, should they fall in, any of them are going to sink below the waters (worst luck!) - a point proved when one of the cast members tries to up the dramatic ante by falling into the 'ol Colorado (the tension being somewhat undermined as you can see her concentrating and timing her moment, shifting this way and that, before taking her unchoreographed tumble into the white froth). Rather than breaking her limbs like rag doll back flipping over Niagara she doggy paddles back to safety in 20 seconds flat. So much for dramatic tension!
Eventually, the group moor the boats and set up camp. Cue more 'character building', as a lard arsed moron by the name of William Souffle blahs on about how wealthy he is, "There's too many poor people in the world - I'd be much richer if there weren't so many poor people!", he muses. We then have a lengthy 'comic' interlude revolving around that damn portable potty. Housed inside a khaki tent, the Californian housewife with the air-raid siren voice disappears inside only for a seemingly endless succession of cast members to wander up and try and get in, only to be vocally rebuffed by the lady (doing her best outraged Mink Stole impression). The final straw is when a naughty little boy pisses up the side of the tent; bursting out she roars at the staff, "That man tried to urinate on me through the potty tent walls, just to torment me!". Just to add to this comic cataclysm, she fingers the wrong person: the drug munching black guy, who throws back what I presume is meant to be a red herring, "You sure don't sound like you come from California ...", he observes, archly. Oooh, the plot thickens. ...
During the whole potty debacle one character gives up waiting outside the tent, "I kinda lost the urge", he mumbles. Funnily enough, by this point I'd almost lost the urge - to live that is!
Now, the only thing that could possibly keep me watching the unfurling tedium was the promise that - surely to God - the cast would be soon be bumped off one-by-one. And, at last, someone has the good manors to start doing that: first, the black guy is pushed to his death from a cliff side, landing in a bloody mess in front of a couple of open mouthed bathers. Predictably, an epidemic of bad acting and much gurning ensues as everyone runs around with their hands in the air trying not to bump into each other. Also predictably, the radio is found to be broken and they decide the only way to get out is to carry on with their trip down river. Any suspicions that the first death was an accident are soon dispelled when Susie, the flirty blond (who wins the award for best actor, which isn't saying much), is surprised from behind, "Oooh, what have you got behind your back, big boy?", she purrs. Well, it's a bloody great knife and pretty soon she's victim number two. Cue more gormless hysteria. One of them muses, "We can only pray our luck is going to change.". All I could pray was that the tape was going to snap.
SAVAGE WATER takes a teaspoon of DELIVERANCE and a bloody great dollop of PLAN 9 FROM OUT OF SPACE and puts it through a blender. Not in the history of the motion picture has so little acting talent been gathered together in such a big cast. Seriously, it's so bad it makes a stinker like HAVE A NICE WEEKEND look like REAR WINDOW! It's faults are legion, but high up there is the fact that the scriptwriter obviously thought that endless philosophical discussions about such thrilling topics such as a karma - where two wooden cast members stand around and try not to say their lines at the same time - was a good substitute for suspense. Of course, it isn't just that, we also get in depth discussions about about such riveting subjects such as the best route to take down river. The monster cast doesn't help either; what's the point of having so many people when the majority of them survive anyway?
The plusses? Well, some of the camera work ain't bad and the scenery can't fail look impressive. There's also some small modicum of excitement when the killer is unmasked (or are they?!) during a fight as the boats hurtle over the rapids. Still, these small bon-bons can't save it.
And, as I watched the credits roll one bit of dialogue was ringing in my ears, "Why did this happen to me?". Oh, why indeed. SAVAGE WATER, it sunk into obscurity before, let it go back to its rightful resting place.

Q: Looking for Java wrapper for curl library I am looking for Java wrapper for curl. I understand Java has excellent apis for http and https connections (i.e. standard as well as Apache http client).
I have a scenario where my https connections need to go through FIPS certified crypto engine. As Openssl is one that passed FIPS validation and curl uses it as its backend, I am wondering if there is an easy to use wrapper around curl lib.
The Bouncycastle crypto that ships with android is not fips certified.

A: There is curl-java, which should be what you need, plus some instructions for it in this blog post and some improvements to the code in java-curl-jar project.

Best of 2017 Recap
Dives: Tradewinds Social Club
The nondescript white building on West Davis may seem a little sketchy, but there's nothing to fear at Tradewinds Social Club — really, manager Melissa Miller says.
"People are afraid to come down here, but our bar is so safe." If that doesn't offer some comfort, the dive bar's gourmet pizza will. The owners make their own sauce on Oak Cliff Pizza crust with several options for toppings. For a bit of playful contrast, perhaps, it's served on a silver platter.
A pepperoni, tomato and basil pizza and beer / Photo by Mark Davis
First timers should try Tradewinds' signature blue shot. It's a rum-based drink, and that's about all we know. "If you tell people what's in it, they won't drink it," Miller says. "But once they try it, they love it."
Tradewinds opened in 1968 with a very different vibe. "It used to be an old school honky tonk bar. It wasn't very lively."
Today, it's a popular hangout for people from all walks of life. Every week, local bands and DJs perform, and once the owners get the projector working again, they'll bring back "dinner and a B-movie" nights. But if you're looking for a quiet night at the bar, stop by on Sunday when happy hour is all day, and no events are scheduled.

The home of a former Kangaroos player and Carlton coach has been sold following the champ's death earlier this year.
A footy legend's Brighton house has secured a buyer before Christmas.
The home of late North Melbourne star and coach Keith "Macca" McKenzie sold for $1.375 million nearly two weeks after it passed in at auction.
The champ died in January this year and his three-bedroom townhouse at 1/708 Hampton St was listed by his real estate agent son, Paul McKenzie from JP Dixon.
Mr McKenzie said the property sold to a middle-aged couple who would eventually downsize into the home.
"They'll probably rent it out initially, with the intention of doing it up and living there later," he said.
Despite securing a sale before Christmas, it sold below the original price guide of $1.45-$1.595 million.
"It didn't quite ring in what we thought it would, but the market's a bit subdued at the moment," Mr McKenzie said.
Macca and his wife Joan, who died five years ago, bought the property for $300,000 in 1991, according to CoreLogic.
It was a very emotional sale for the children, Mr McKenzie added.
The semi-detached townhouse was one of three family-sized homes on the block.


Today, we are going to tell you about one of the unique railway crossing's in India. Railway crossing, as you must be aware of, is a place where people cross railway tracks to go to other side.
Indian railways, and many railways across the world, provide some infrastructure at such crossings to ensure safety of people while they cross rail tracks. This is usually done by fitting couple of gates at either sides.
The railway crossing gates are opened and shut by a railway employee called - 'Railway Gate Man'. These days many of the crossings are equipped with automatic gates that can operate without the presence of a human being.
But still there are many such crossings in India where gates are opened and closed by a human being i.e. a gate man.
One of such manually operated railway crossing lies in state of Punjab in India. But it is unique.
You must be wondering what could be unique about a railway gate/ crossing?
Well, while this crossing of railway is manually operated, railway has not assigned any gate man to do the job.
So, what happens when a train comes? Does the gate remains opened and traffic keeps on passing over the railway tracks through the gates? Who ensures the safety of people.
We can tell you that not a single accident has been reported yet.
This is where this indian railway crossing is unique. When a train comes, both guard and driver (locomotive pilot), jumps down the train and close gates one by one, before they cross the gates.
Where this crossing is located?
This railway crossing in India is located just before the station Romana Albel Singh. Crossing number 21 is the one where this unique thing happens.
Problem can be solved immediately if railway can allocate a staff here. And there are many jobs in railway available, but recruitment of linemen and gate men hasn't been done for many years.
Locals believe that it is due to internal fight between officials of two railway departments in this region which is the cause of all the mess. Due to lack of employees, both department argue with each other, and ignore allocating a staff at the crossing.
We hope that railway take note of this situation and provide solution as soon as possible.
