AIKEN COUNTY, SC (WRDW/WAGT) – Kids got to see some pretty cool animals at school on Wednesday all thanks to the UGA Savannah River Ecology Lab.
Usually the only time you would see all those animals in one place is at the annual Touch an Animal event in Aiken hosted by the UGA Savannah River Ecology Laboratory.
"Aiken is pretty far away from Burke County and from other places in the CSRA, and I wanted to bring a little piece of that here to Blakeney Elementary School," said Megan Winzeler, an outreach project coordinator with the lab.
Most of their school visits involve one or two animals and limited time with students, but this event is different.
"They have 4 minutes with the scientist," Winzeler said. "They can ask questions, they get to touch the animal, and it's more engaging and stimulating."
Each station teaches kids about different parts of the ecosystem, and how they're affected by industry and different types of pollution.
"We're reinforcing things we learn, but we are also generating new questions and sparking curiosity and it's making them really want to learn more about something," said Amber Colechin, a 3rd grade teacher at Blakeney Elementary School said.
"Giving them the opportunity to see different things outside of Burke County to open their eyes and let them know there are a number of different careers out there that are possible that they can do," Blakeney Principal Earl Ishmal said.
The lab hopes to start doing these type of events at more area schools in the future.

As promised, here is the advent tea wreath in its entirety. With so many bright and interesting tea bags, I thought it would be fun to create a colour chart of sorts, so during advent I'll be working my way through a rainbow of teas!
And, of course, the Kojo Designs beauty that inspired it all.
So far, we've sampled Lipton's Asian white tea, which was deliciously light and unusual, and the Twinings Traditional English, which was perfect with a chocolate biscuit.
Thanks, Brooke. It's all about making sure there's always time for tea, you know!
Astrid, I was thinking of you when I wrote the "red" post and hoping you'd join in. It was all I could do to not slip "red red completely red" into the post somewhere...Thanks!
Okay - I meant could 'get' confusing. That's what I get for taking the micky out of a speech impediment.
Although when I was young and I had a brace my parents repeatedly made me say sausages!
I love this unique advent idea. I'm going to link to you on my blog!
I've never seen these before... what a great idea!
found you via a photo on the pinterest site -- LOVE the idea (from a fellow non-stop tea drinker!!
Thanks for all the lovely comments! We are loving our daily tea, and hope this inspires you all to try it, too!
Kiley -- yes, I loved your red theme! Thanks for stopping by.
Jadyn -- I love your wreath! Sorry again you missed out on this round of advent tea, but next year, I'll make sure you get to take part.
Margie -- thanks! You've got a lovely blog!
Buckaroomama -- glad you like them! We'd love to see if you make one, too.
Mary -- yay for Pinterest! Hope you give it a try!
Such a great idea - if only i wasn't so stuck in my ways and only drank one type of tea! Make sure you keep me in mind for your pegs next year!
Kate, you could have a single-colour wreath, where every day is the same type of tea! Yes, I'll keep you in mind, thanks.
the tea wreath advent calendar is a very clever idea !!!

The future of manufacturing will involve the union of biological and digital solutions—imagine silk without spiders, milk without cows, and leather without hides. All these things could be possible thanks to synthetic biology, which seeks to harness cellular processes to generate novel therapies, biomaterials, and environmentally friendly sources of food and energy. In this session, you'll hear how this new field is driving changes in manufacturing by harnessing biological computers capable of producing biological systems to promote growth of the end product. You'll hear about new tools and case studies that address the manufacturing challenges of synthetic biology.


Fiber optic box are also called fiber patch panels, used in the use of optical fiber technology to transmit digital and similar voice, video and data signals. The fiber cartridge can be mounted directly or as a desktop installation. Especially suitable for high-speed optical fiber transmission. Also known as fiber terminal box, is the optical end of the box, for the cable overhead, pipe, buried, and the laying of wells and straight through the branch connection.
Optical fiber box is an important auxiliary equipment in optical transmission system. It is mainly used for optical fiber welding, optical connector installation, optical circuit transfer, storage of excess pigtail and protection of optical cable. It is suitable for optical fiber communication network security Running and flexible use has an important role.
A fiber box should be able to make the largest number of fiber optic cable in the board of the full shelves, where possible, can be linked to a few more cable in a frame to facilitate the deployment of light. At the same time, the capacity of the patch panel should correspond to the series of universal cable cores, so that the use of the equipment can be reduced or avoided due to improper handling caused by fiber cartridge capacity waste.
Fiber box has four major functions, one is a fixed function; the second is the welding function, that is, fiber optic cable leads to the fiber and the tail cable welding, the excess fiber will be coiled storage, and the fused joint protection. Third, the deployment of the function, the cable on the cable connector connected to the adapter, and the adapter on the other side of the optical connector to achieve optical docking. Adapters and connectors should be flexible and easy to pull; optical path can be freely deployed and tested. Four is the storage function.


What is the most important thing our lives? What defines who we are? Sometimes we may think that we are our job, we are the manager, the entrepreneur we are the salesperson or the CEO. We make our business or our career the most important thing or tie it to our identity, that is not the point. What is the most important thing in life?Our personal growth and having a growth mindset. We get up each day to go to work, we think we are all those things we think we are the title we are given or give ourselves, and we think that is what defines us, but as humans, that is not how we are biologically wired to think. Those times we help someone, go on a trip, discover a new place, when we first fall in love or when we meet new or interesting people when we try something for the first time. These are the moments where we are designed to thrive in. You can be the owner of one of largest companies on earth, have the most money, have "success", that is not the most important thing in life. The most important thing is your growth, success is progress, how we are evolving as a person. For without this at our core we are lost to help others, we are lost in our relationships we are lost in the world. We can only help after we first help ourselves and can only help others grow if we are also growing. Everything else is nothing more than a way to help you achieve personal growth. Build a company not for building the company but to help us grow and learn, fail at a business that's ok if we are growing, our families, kids, partners or relationships, are all the best ways to help us grow personally. This is what we need to teach more of in schools, to remember who we really are, we are not a title, we are a human being, not a human doing, we are designed to thrive in a growth mindset and to feel most fulfilled in personal growth. The most important thing to me is how much I am growing each day.

Q: "Have a hard time" VS "Barely manage" I want to indicate that someone has gone through a lot of difficulties to achieve an academic degree because he / she wasn't studious enough or was not smart enough to pass their exams.
I wonder if there is any semantic nuance between the two sentences below:

a. He barely managed to get his bachelor's degree.
b. He had a hard time getting his bachelor's degree.

To me, they mean exactly the same thing and can be said interchangeably. Nevertheless, I need a native confirmation in my view about it.

A: These don't mean the same thing.
"Barely managed" means "he struggled and succeeded by the barest margins". It usually implies the problem was with his capacity to do the work itself. "Had a hard time" has a more general meaning, like "he had some problems while doing something". It doesn't suggest anything about how well he did, nor what the problems were.
For instance, a single parent with financial troubles and no support from their family would likely "have a hard time" completing a degree, and might take ten years to do so, yet still get very high marks and never doubt that it would get done. This is not someone who "barely managed".

Wow. So after a few days of dashing between booths, hazy eyes and a even some games thrown in, Gamescom is over and it's time for us to reflect on all of the things that came our way during the event - both in the press section and on the public floor. This Gamescom was more of a consolidation of the year's biggest titles as opposed to a show of big announcements, with most publishers locking down their holiday releases and providing a little more detail on the games to arrive in 2015. While that doesn't mean we've got lots of new IPs to get weirdly excited over, it does mean that we've got plenty of great looking games on the near horizon.
Below are a collection of 'awards' that are, in earnest, just talking points rather than actual awards, but hopefully they'll give you an idea of the games that both impressed and distressed us during our time at the event in Cologne. There were a lot of games to choose from this year; with more and more focus being placed on the thriving indie scene, anyone and everyone (assuming a few thousand quid) brought their game to be inspected by both the press and the public.
Typoman was a small indie game published by Headup that impressed all of us during the show. It's a brilliant little platform game that uses words and letters to not only create the world in which you play, but also to influence the puzzles and general mechanics of the game. Ryan played the game with the lead developer and enjoyed it so much he had to force James to play it on the show floor. We'll have a preview up soon on that one, you can bet. Killing Floor 2 impressed Jess, who wasn't expecting the game to be anywhere near as good as it turned out to be, while James was staggered by Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor - although we'll have more on that later.
Look, we like World of Tanks and realise that it's a very popular game that provides an excellent free-to-play gaming experience. What we didn't realise however, is just how bonkers Germany is for the MMO. Wargaming.net is clearly raking in the cash, evidenced by the company's enormous public booth that dwarfed even the Sony and Microsoft areas! They often had a large crowd too, with a rather ridiculous number of 'free stuff' moments - you know, the awkward whooping crowd kind. Even Wargaming's press booth was larger than that of most other publishers. On the whole it's a clear indicator of the possible success that the free-to-play model can bring, and with the Wargaming brand becoming something of a service than a mere publisher, we can only expect the company to grow from here.
Wondering why this is the worst sequel as opposed to the worst game? Simply because we were amazed by the number of people willing to queue for up to three hours just to play, or even just see, a 10 minute demo of a game that's bound to be very similar to the previous iteration. What's the appeal of playing FIFA 15 when you could just play 14 at home? Is it really going to be all that different? The same can be said for Assassin's Creed: Unity or Battlefield: Hardline. On the whole, those games could prove to be much better than their forebearers, but you're not going to learn that in 10 minutes. Still, we admire their commitment; good job folks!
On the other end of the spectrum we have some games that we know are great, but that no one is going to want to play at an expo. Europa Universalis IV is an endlessly fantastic title, but it certainly doesn't suit an expo environment; you need hours and hours to play that game properly, not 15 minutes. In fact, there were a surprising number of games on the public floor that had already been released some time ago. As you can expect, they didn't exactly draw the crowds. Probably the most interesting game with the shortest queue was Capy's new game Below which, despite providing a decent chunk of gameplay, didn't draw the attention of the German fans. Sad face.
Graphics aren't everything. You know that, we know that, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy some shiny visuals every once in a while. Gamescom provided a whole host of beautiful titles, but there was one game that blew the others out of the water. Project CARS has, for quite a while now, been the standard bearer for 'next-gen' graphics. It's a real showpiece of how far gaming has come on the visual front, but at Gamescom we finally got to see what the release version will look like. On both PS4 and Xbox One the game looks stunning, but it's on PC 4K that the game really, literally, shines. Certainly something worth checking out. We'll have a preview of the game up very soon.
We saw a lot of good games this year, and while many fear that the new console generation has brought about an age of remakes, it's clear that the indie and PC gaming community has been busy innovating all the while. Of course, when we say 'PC community' we mean just about every developer out there. With the consoles now using largely PC architecture, it's become a lot easier to develop multi-platform from a PC starting point. But for us, it was a largely unoriginal game that impressed. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was a genuine surprise for all of us, it's combination of semi-open world locations and Assassin's Creed/Batman combat system made it an instant winner. There hasn't been a whole lot of focus on the new IP from Monolith, but it's now well and truly on the GameGrin radar. Honorable mentions include Project CARS, Typoman and Evolve, all of which impressed various members of our Gamescom team.
If we could use one word to sum up Gamescom 2014, it would be variety. We're at a point in gaming history that's associated with homogeneity and lack of true innovation, but looking at the offerings at Gamescom that stereotype is soon to be on the decline. There are plenty of interesting and exciting games coming soon from both small indie devs and even the big publishers. Keep an eye on GameGrin over the next few weeks as we'll be providing a lot of previews on many of the games from the show.

The technology will be used to test automated and connected driving under real-life conditions in a project called, DIGINET-PS which will be located in the centre of Berlin.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) and is an open test environment for connected and automated vehicle technologies. Cohda Wireless will be supplying its MK5 On-Board Units (OBUs) and Road-Side Units (RSU's) to empower the initiative to solve the challenges of urban mobility.
"The DIGINET-PS site includes an underground car-park where we can also demonstrate this world-leading positioning solution," added Alexander.


Inspiration and leadership from women at the top of their game.
I spoke to all three of them to find out what their advice is for women looking to break into the sector.
Dishearteningly for Lynn Lucas, during her time at the top of the industry, there has been very little change in the number of women reaching peak positions in the technology sector. Lynn first became VP of Proxim in 1996, and since then the number of female IT leaders worldwide has remained around 9%. I asked her about her experience of changes in the industry and how women can make a mark in the sector.
Has there been a palpable change for you as a woman in business (and particularly tech) from when you started out?
Are you seeing more women trying to break through into the industry?
What do you think the solution is for attracting and retaining more women in the tech industry? Particularly getting more women to board level?
It is crucial that women inspire, advise and mentor each other. I am a mentor for the Women in Payments Network who bring women together in Cards & Payments through networking events and workshops. Having supporters in the business who are your allies and backing you, is also a key ingredient to success particularly the higher up the ladder you go. Ensuring you have the right mentors inside and outside your business to guide you on your career path and give an alternative perspective.
I do get very frustrated when I hear women ruling themselves out of the next opportunity before they have even considered it. My advice is to take every opportunity that comes along when it happens, don't worry about tomorrow."
What is on the horizon for women in fintech in the future?
Unfortunately, in payments, there are still very few women in C-level positions.. I am often still the only, or one or very few, women in the room at senior events or director meetings. Fintechs are helping to change the reputation of the financial services industry by employing more women at the top. The industry is becoming much more appealing to the next generation and I believe providing flexible working is the key to the progression of women in the workplace.
The more that women are celebrated in the workplace the more it enhances confidence and makes other women more aware of the opportunities that are available. Moreover, our industry demands a curious and open mind-set, we can't afford to make assumptions because business and consumers needs and wants are changing. In my experience this is more often a natural strength for females in our industry and the conditions are ripe for acceleration of women into more senior roles."
Don't view yourself as being different because you are a woman.
Help other women in the industry. This is a great way to establish yourself as an industry leader.
For example, FinTech is a broad area, however, if you specialize in a specific area, such as payments technology, colleagues will view you as a valuable resource.
Focus on Security and Controls. Cybersecurity, data protection, and IT risk management are realities that all professionals must have an awareness about in order to be taken seriously. Champion efforts that focus on improving security and controls.
Know Your Competition. Ask clients, colleagues, and industry peers about their views on the competitive landscape. Understand who are the leading players and why they are leading the industry.
So, while it may seem as though the industry is standing still, there are still waves to be made as a woman in the tech sphere.

Davis, Maureen McCormick, Barry Williams, Geri Reischl, Christopher Knight, Susan Olsen, Mike Lookinland, Rip Taylor, Robyn Blythe, Susan Buckner, Darine Klega, Lynn Latham, Charkie Phillips, Judy Susman, Chris Wallace, Linda Hoxit, and Van Snowden.
A strange and short-lived spin-off to The Brady Bunch in which Carol (Florence Henderson) and the Brady kids convince dad Mike (Robert Reed) to quit his job as an architect so that they can all host their own comedy-variety show.
Housekeeper Alice Nelson (Ann B. Davis) appears occasionally to take part in the musical numbers and skits. Crazy Jack Merrill (Rip Taylor) helps to produce the show and performs on stage as well.
All of the Brady Bunch kids (Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Maureen McCormick, Susan Olsen) return for this spin-off, with the exception of Eve Plumb who played middle sister Jan. Plumb is replaced by Geri Reischl.
Guests: Paul Williams, Lynn Anderson, and Rip Taylor.
In a sketch, Mr. Merrill begs Alice the housekeeper for a date and she finally agrees. She's peeved because she was expecting Esther Williams, not Paul Williams. Greg wants to pitch songs to Paul and Marcia's annoyed. When Paul shows up, he becomes infatuated by Carol.
Later, Mike confronts Paul about his supposed love for Carol. Before he leaves, Paul offers Carol a piece of jewelry that belonged to his grandmother and she accepts it. Lynn stops by soonafter and says that she ran into Paul outside. He told her that he loves her and gave her jewelry from his grandmother too.
Paul introduces a sketch about "The Columbus Bunch" from 15th century Genoa. Mike Columbus sets out to prove that the world is round. Merill plays an over-the-top King of Spain while Alice plays his Queen.
The Bradys returned in a number of series and specials but none that were related to this particular series. The series was developed without the permission of Brady creator Sherwood Schwartz or Paramount. The studio agreed to it at the last minute and Schwartz, who didn't want to deprive his former cast of employment, reluctantly okayed it. You will not however find any mention of the series later Brady stories. By all accounts, the characters seem to have forgotten that it ever happened.

Quebec Turns Forward: The Quiet Revolution
International Unity Through Faith—Montreal '78
By "Awake!" correspondent in Canada
THE year was 1960. And the date? September 1. A milestone event was about to take place at Montreal, Canada. In its suburb of Verdun, Quebec's first all-French district assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses was about to begin.
What was so unusual about the Witnesses' having an all-French district assembly in Quebec? Well, during the years prior to 1960—especially from 1945 and 1946 on into the 1950's—there was much official opposition to their Christian activities. Premier Maurice Duplessis, an avowed opposer, had declared "war without mercy against the Witnesses of Jehovah." And war it was! The battles were fought mainly in the courts of the land.
For more than 30 years, Jehovah's Witnesses in Quebec had struggled for freedom to preach the good news of God's kingdom. At first, their numbers were small. For example, in 1945, at the peak of the persecution, there were only some 300 Witnesses in all Quebec. Most of them were centered in Montreal, then Canada's largest city. They made up only 4 percent of Jehovah's Witnesses in Canada, and the majority were English speaking, even though Quebec is predominantly French speaking. The opposition was great for just 300 people. Many of them were arrested more than once on false charges of seditious libel and peddling without a license. They were harassed in many ways. Mob violence, often clergy inspired, was common. Thousands of cases came to be pending before the courts.
By 1960, however, there had been five major Canadian Supreme Court decisions in favor of the Witnesses, proving the charges brought against them to be unfounded. This turn of events virtually cleared the courts of the pending cases. With this legal background, one can see how it became possible to hold the first all-French district assembly in Quebec during 1960. Even though some prejudice was evident—the five Supreme Court decisions could not erase that—the zeal and determination of the Witnesses were blessed by God's spirit, and the assembly was held. There were 3,219 persons at the public talk—a tremendous encouragement to the Christians there because 1,000 of that number were persons who were not Witnesses. As small as that assembly was, it was a milestone.
But that was 1960. This is 1978. What about today? There will be quite a change in a number of ways. At the "Victorious Faith" International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses to be held in Montreal on July 5 to 9 this year, our expectations are to have an attendance of 75,000 people! For such a multitude, it will be necessary to use the full facilities of Olympic Park, including the mammoth Olympic Stadium. Of course, the conventioners are not all coming from Quebec, as this will be an international assembly. But there should be quite a contrast with the 1960 gathering. This time 3,000 volunteers will work with mop and pail to ensure spotless facilities.
How is the news of this convention being received by the people of Quebec? Are there any public and official prejudices or problems with cooperation? The convention manager reflected the feelings of his entire staff when he said: "In all the conventions I have managed, I have never before experienced such fine cooperation from civic officials, from the mayor on down. For example, right in the middle of Montreal we're anticipating a 100-acre site as a trailer city that could have as many as 12,000 people move in overnight—literally overnight! There is a tremendous amount of work to do in setting up facilities for such a project, and, of course, there are standards and laws that must be met. The city engineers have given us their full cooperation in an undertaking that neither we in this country, nor they, have experienced before in such proportions."
One Witness, who had been at the 1960 district assembly, was amazed at the politeness, the cooperation and the interest that city and Olympic officials demonstrated. "How different it is from the days of Duplessis and Church domination," he said.
The convention manager summed it up by saying: "With each day spent in convention preparation, I get the feeling that the city really wants us here." You can also be sure that every one of the 110 French and 32 English Witness congregations in Quebec wants the convention there too. So do the six Italian congregations, as well as the Greek, Spanish and Portuguese congregations functioning in Montreal.
Jehovah's Witnesses in Quebec certainly have grown over the years. Instead of having just 4 percent of the total number of Witnesses in Canada, Quebec now has 15 percent. There the increase in numbers has been 200 percent faster than in the rest of the country. The Witnesses in this province are a dedicated and hardworking group. This is also reflected in the fact that in Quebec one out of every 11 Witnesses is a full-time pioneer in the evangelizing work.
The excellent facilities at Olympic Park undoubtedly will contribute to the success of the convention. The stadium itself seats about 70,000 people and will house the English sessions. All the Witnesses in eastern Canada and portions of the northeastern United States have been invited. Requests for rooming accommodations at the assembly headquarters reveal that hundreds also are coming from other parts of the world. The French attendance, however, will come primarily from Quebec itself. Yet, there are indications that French-speaking delegates will be coming from quite a number of lands, such as France, Guadeloupe and Martinique. The French sessions will be held in the air-conditioned Velodrome, another major facility of Olympic Park. About 12,000 Witnesses are expected for the French sessions. Surely that would have warmed the hearts of those few Witnesses in Quebec back in 1945, had they been able to see what the future would bring.
Olympic Park was built especially to house the 1976 Olympic Games held in Montreal. At that time, the Olympic flame burned there to signify that the games were in session. The athletes contended for the honor of their sport and in the hope of furthering unity and understanding among nations, one of the objectives of the games. To a degree, there has been a beneficial result. But it is obvious that there is still much more to be desired in the way of unity. One person was heard to remark: "This business of some nations not sending their athletes because some other nation has theirs there—it's like some of the kids that play in the park next to my home. I heard one of them say about another, 'If he's going to play, then I'm going home.'" Yes, in connection with the Olympic Games there is such bickering among nations. Although it would be unfair to question the sincerity and integrity of all the athletes participating, one can conclude that international unity is advanced very little by the games, when compared with the great needs that yet exist.
By contrast, in July of 1978 Olympic Park will be free from any bickering of national groups. Delegates to the "Victorious Faith" International Convention will also have a flame, a fire, but of a different kind. It is like the fire in the bones of Jehovah's prophet Jeremiah, who could not hold back from giving out his message from God. (Jer. 20:9) Similar zeal had kept the Witnesses active in Quebec during earlier times of trial. And it is this same zeal and devotion that will bring thousands of them together in Montreal. They, too, are in a contest. (2 Tim. 2:5) It is the contest of faith. The apostle Paul compared it to running a race for the prize of eternal life. (1 Cor. 9:24-26) An assembly such as this provides the training, stimulation and motivation that stoke the fires of faith. It furnishes spiritual instruction that truly unites national groups.—1 Cor. 1:10.
Today in Quebec, there is a prominent issue involving national unity. It is hotly debated. But over the years, Jehovah's Witnesses, French and English, have stood united, side by side. They have resisted unwarranted attacks and have continued to love their neighbors and even their enemies. They have shown that faith can overcome man-made barriers to unity. Their unity will be in evidence during the forthcoming international convention, at which there will be sessions in French, English, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Ukrainian and Arabic. Why not attend and observe the unity that prevails?
Montreal is a large city with a population of about 3,000,000. The people are friendly and want you to feel at home. Especially are the 55 congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Montreal area eager to have you present. They have already spent many hours obtaining rooms in hotels, motels and private homes so that the convention delegates will have suitable accommodations. Olympic Park is right in Montreal and there is easy access to it by subway.
If you wish to spend a little time touring Montreal before or after the assembly, you will not be disappointed. The city is rich in history and has some interesting sites, excellent eating places and fine shopping centers.
Come to the "Victorious Faith" International Convention in Montreal and you will be glad you did. Witness and share in this example of international unity through faith.

Days of '49 – utwór zaaranżowany przez Boba Dylana, nagrany przez niego na dwóch sesjach w marcu 1970 r. i wydany na albumie Self Portrait w czerwcu 1970 r. Znany jest także jako The Days of Forty-Nine.

Historia i charakter utworu
Utwór ten został nagrany na szóstej i ósmej sesji do albumu 4 i 11 marca 1970 r. To ostatnia sesja poświęcona była jedynie instrumentalnym overdubbingom. Plonem szóstej sesji była także piosenka "Early Morning Rain" oraz odrzuty: "Thirsty Boots", "Little Brown Dog", "Railroad Bill", "House Carpenter", "Tell Ol' Bill" i "Take [Me] Back Again". Na sesji ósmej dokonano także instrumentalnych overdubbingów takich piosenek jak "Alberta # 1, "All the Tired Horses", "Little Sadie".

Piosenka ta ma starą historię; zasadniczy temat jest całkowicie tradycyjny i anonimowy, jednak z biegiem czasu była ona poddawana przeróbkom i jako współautorzy figurują F. Warner, John A. Lomax i jego syn Alan Lomax.

Piosenka związana jest ze słynną "gorączką złota", która wybuchła w Ameryce w 1849 r. po znalezieniu złota w Sutter's Mill w Kalifornii. Zbiegło się to z końcem wojny z Meksykiem, której skutkiem było poważne zubożenie części społeczeństwa. Dla tych bezrobotnych i bezdomnych ludzi znalezienie złota w górach Sierra Nevada było jedyną nadzieją zmiany losu.

Piosenka powstała zapewne zaraz po 1849 r. i opisuje nowe zasady współżycia społecznego powstałe w demokratycznych wspólnotach poszukiwaczy złota opartych na zasadzie koleżeńskości. Źródłem utworu jest piosenka "Old Put's Golden Songster" skomponowana przez Old Puta w dniach "gorączki złota".

W wykonaniu Dylana piosenka wyróżnia się korzystnie na tle innych utworów z Self Portrait. Minimalistyczny akompaniament i bardzo dobra interpretacja stawiają tę wersję blisko piosenek z albumu John Wesley Harding.

Android.Counterclank Malware Infects Millions of Devices
by Vincent Chow January 30, 2012 2 min read
Android.Counterclank, a newly discovered Android malware, could have infected 1 to 5 million devices through a dozen or so apps downloaded from the official Android Market, according to the security firm Symantec.
So far, Symantec had identified 13 apps carrying the malicious code, mostly disguised as game titles and adult apps. Like most Android malware, these titles demand an unreasonably extensive list of permissions, including access to location information.
Among the capabilities of Android.Counterclank:
Copy opt out details
Copy push notifications
Copy shortcuts
Identify the last executed command
Modify the browser's home page
Steal build information (for example: brand, device, manufacturer, model, OS, etc.)
As the dominant mobile platform, Android inevitably became the number one target for developers with malicious intent. The fact that Google isn't vetting apps before publishing them serves only as an incentive to these not-so-nice people.
Amazon's Appstore for Android takes a more Apple-esque approach. In an interview with Android Police, Aaron Rubenson, the head of Amazon's Appstore for Android, said the company conducts rigorous tests on submitted apps.
Google's Failure is Amazon's Success
Although this isn't the first instance malware has been found in the Android Market, Google still doesn't pre-screen apps. Although the company is able to remove malicious apps remotely from infected devices, there's no guarantee it could do so before any damage is done.
The official Android Market is Google's key to maintain control over the platform. OEM partners are forced to play by Google's rules in order to gain access to Google branded products–such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps–and most importantly, not to mention the Market itself.
It makes me think Amazon has beaten Google at its own game. And that's just the beginning. As the number of malware-infested apps grows in the Android Market, its appeal among users, developers and manufacturers is sure to diminish.

As we reported last month, Tesla applied for a new key fob with the FCC and we suspected that it would be for Model 3.
Now the FCC has released pictures of the new key fob and it is indeed for Model 3.
With the Model S and Model X, Tesla's iPhone and Android app can already be used to unlock and start the vehicles, but the key fob is generally regarded as the main device to get in those cars since you have to open the app to unlock a vehicle.
For the Model 3, owners have to walk up to the car with their phone in their pocket to unlock the car – like a Model S and Model X with a key fob and passive entry.
They also have the option to use the keycard to open and start the Model 3, but it is not ideal.
Some owners have been complaining of occasional issues of using the app, which relies on their phone's Bluetooth connection.
When Tesla applied for a new key fob using a BLE frequency with the FCC, we speculated that Tesla was introducing the device for Model 3.
As you can see, it looks almost exactly like the Model S and Model X key fobs.
Based on the user manual, it looks like the key fob is going to be offered as a third entry option for Model 3 owners.
We contacted Tesla to get details about the plan to release the new device. We will update if we get an answer.

I used frozen okra for this recipe...straight out of the freezer. If using fresh okra; rinse, pat dry, slice and then carry on as directed. You may need to adjust the cooking time. Keep in mind, okra will shrink the longer it cooks.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease bottoms of 2 - 10" cast iron skillet or cookie sheet(s). Put frozen sliced okra in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil. Mix House-Autry Yellow Corn Meal, least amounts of salt and pepper in another bowl, sprinkle over okra, stir gently to coat. Okra will not be coated completely. Roast in oven 20 minutes, carefully take out of oven and carefully flip okra over (in sections) with a spatula or stir gently. Cook another 10 minutes. Flip over or stir gently. Cook another 10 to 20 minutes, flipping over, or stirring, gently every 5 minutes. Carefully remove from oven. Adjust seasoning if needed. Enjoy!


Speakers at the 2015 BizWest Economic Forecast said the northern regional economy looks to remain strong going deeper into the year. However - and there's always a however - the drop in oil prices and its affect on Weld County's oil and gas industry leaves a particular uncertainty about resiliency.
KUNC's Nathan Heffel speaks to Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis about Northern Colorado's healthcare sector and its economic impact in 2015.
Dr. Martin Shields, the director of the Regional Economics Institute at Colorado State University, said Northern Colorado has recovered nicely since the great recession.
"Getting a tremendous reduction in the amount of money that they spend on gasoline for their vehicles has been a substantial pay raise for households essentially," said Shields. "Between the tightening in the labor market and lower gas prices, Northern Colorado households seem to be doing OK."
While Shields can forecast steady growth in Larimer County's economy going into 2015 - including the addition of around 4,000 jobs in construction, retail and healthcare sectors - his crystal ball is much more clouded when it comes to Weld County.
"In Larimer, it's a pretty easy story. It's a same old, same old kind of thing," Shields said. "But's it's a little bit more challenging to make a forecast because of the importance that the oil industry has had in the rebound of Weld County's economy."
As of this writing, the price of oil hovers around $47 a barrel. Depending on how long the price remains low, Shields believes the industry in Northern Colorado will begin to react.
"One of the questions we're going to have to think about is when does oil production no longer become profitable for producers of North American shale? And there are some estimates that say that range is anywhere between $50 and $65 a barrel," Shields said. "For the region, most of the jobs are created in the exploration and the drilling process and well installation, and there are a lot of projects underway."
He added that at $45 to $50 a barrel, the profitability forecasts look very different then when oil was over $100 a barrel, which could stymie new oil and gas projects.
While Shield's forecast held a lot of uncertainty, a presentation by Michael Ehler with Realtec said the oil and gas slowdown is simply a blip on Northern Colorado's economic radar. For Ehler, real estate will continue to strengthen across the region with high demand and short supply fueled by other strong sectors including construction and retail.
Dr. Jandel Allen-Davis, vice president for government and external relations for Kaiser Permanente, said the region's healthcare sector remains strong and has seen a lot of activity, especially through Connect for Health Colorado, the state's public healthcare exchange.
"Across the U.S. last year , about 8 million Americans did enroll for coverage [through public exchanges]. Here in Colorado we had about 121,000 folks," said Allen-Davis. "In terms of this year, the numbers are just trickling out. It's still too early to really nail down what's there. The early numbers for Weld County look like so far 5,000 folks have re-enrolled or newly enrolled."
Allen-Davis said the large number of Coloradans enrolling in Medicaid across the region remains important to business owners and companies. She notes that currently around 20 percent, or over 1.1 million Coloradans, are covered by Medicaid.
"For the business community, the good news is that we're seeing the uninsured rates fall which is terrific because we do pay taxes for that, the hidden tax, called premiums," Allen-Davis said. "That goes to cover the uninsured, so it's nice to see [the uninsured rate] fall from 17 to 11 percent, and it certainly will have impacts both long and short term for business owners."
While Allen-Davis is pro-business and pro-competition, she said the current climate of expanding and building new hospitals and stand alone emergency centers across Northern Colorado could become a concern in 2015.
"At the same time we're working to prevent people needing hospitals by elevating their level of health, we're building hospitals that drive competition. And that may or may not meet a real community need."
She added the discussion about where hospitals are constructed, and the numbers needed, might have to be examined not only in Northern Colorado but across the state.
Based on the number of new business filings in Colorado for the second quarter of 2014, employment numbers are expected to moderately grow through the remainder of the year. The positive forecast isn't just based on new companies starting up here, but on year-over-year improvements in existing business renewals, trademarks and trade names that indicate more jobs are on the way.
Fort Collins and the rest of the Front Range are no strangers to ranking high in economic development. A new survey places the city as the second highest in the nation when it comes to hiring new workers. Colorado Springs also received high rankings, but Denver's reputation is faltering.
Analysts' expectations of continued growth in the jobs report for June were surpassed by federal data issued this morning, as the Labor Department says U.S. employers added 288,000 jobs last month. The government released the numbers one day early because of the July 4 holiday.
"Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 288,000 in June, and the unemployment rate declined to 6.1 percent," the Bureau of Labor Statistics says.
June 2014 marks yet another gain in job growth and a steadily decreasing unemployment rate for Colorado. These gains can be thanked largely on the public sector, although private sector jobs are on the rise as well.
The state comes out ahead compared to the national average with several northern Front Range counties faring significantly better than the rest of the state.


Lots of stuff this weekend, including Darryl's birthday cocktail party — which I failed to get any photos during. Still, got some fun shots of me, Liza, John, and Stacy at "The Great Dickens Christmas Fair". The Cow Palace was dusted with sawdust, the chimney sweeps were out in force, and loads of summer stock actors were practicing their Cockney accents. The fair was remarkably the same (identical, really) to the one I attended in 2009. More crowded than last time, but maybe that's truer to Dickensian London. Paulette showed off her newest works at Jimmie Gallery, too. Got to meet a bunch of her friends whom I'd never met before. The art was all fitted onto "film holders", so it was a bit small to photograph but you get the picture. Neat stuff and I bought No. 11 (white) — "Fukushima". Kudos, PT!

Save on these Cleer ANC headphones with long-lasting battery life
By Kob Monney
TV & Audio Editor
November 27, 2022 7:46 pm GMT
Black Friday Audio
Fancy a pair of affordable noise cancelling headphones? This Black Friday offer from Cleer Audio will help sate that need.
The Cleer Enduro ANC received 4.5 stars from this very site, and in this Black Friday deal at Amazon, you can get £30 off the asking price for £119 all in.
It's the cheapest price these headphones have been in nearly a year, and judging by the price tracker on Amazon, they aren't headphones that come down in price too often so if you are after a pair of affordable noise cancelling headphones, now might be the time to strike. For more of the best Black Friday deals, check out our main page that's tracking all the best and latest deals.
These ANC headphones have returned to the lowest price
The Cleer Enduro ANC feature noise cancellation and a mammoth 60-hour battery, and this Black Friday deals has brought them back down to their lowest price yet.
The highlight of the Enduro ANC headphones is their battery life. They can last much longer than most premium headphones can, with their 60-hour battery twice that of Sony and Bowers & Wilkins headphones, and three times as much as some models from Bose and Apple.
But it's not just about battery life with these headphones. The noise cancelling is solid for the price, cleaning up low frequency sounds that could distract. It's a performance that subdues rather than completely cancels out sounds, but at this price point that's acceptable enough with the Enduro ANC one of the better performance noise cancellers within the £150 range.
Their sound quality is also very good, taking on a neutral tone with an emphasis on detail, clarity and sharpness. There's arguably headphones that offer more fun and colour to their sound, but few options are as affordable as the headphones from Cleer.
In our review, we said the Enduro ANC offered "tremendous value" sounding better than cheaper alternatives. If you are still looking for an affordable pair of noise cancelling headphones, then these are well worth a look during the Black Friday sales.

Ariana Grande gives excited sneak peek into her new BBC special after split from fiancé
21st October 2018 Music, Showbiz, Arts & Culture
Ariana Grande has landed an hour-long 'Ariana Grande at the BBC' special.
The No Tears Left to Cry singer will join host Davina McCall for the entertainment programme, which will air in November.
The popstar, 25, who split from her fiancé Pete Davidson earlier this week, will perform songs from her latest LP Sweetener with the accompaniment of a female orchestra.
The God Is A Woman shared a series of sneak peek images from the show on her Instagram as she made the exciting announcement.
'UK babes, I'm excited to announce that my BBC special we shot in London will be airing on Nov 1 at 8pm,' she wrote.
'Thank you to my band, our background singers, incredible conductor Steve Sidwell, and this stunning orchestra (all girls, werk) I had the honor of performing with.
'I loved these arrangements so much. Thank you to my babes in the audience who made this such a fun, comfortable experience. Miss you.'
Former Celebrity Big Brother presenter Davina gushed that she's honoured to have landed the gig.
She said: 'Since I've been asked to do this show… I have been worried that someone is going to call up and tell me they've made a mistake and chosen the wrong presenter, because this seems just too good to be true.
'Ariana Grande is such an incredible talent. She's very funny and incredibly kind and has achieved so much already in her career. I'm really excited about talking to her and, of course, hearing some of her amazing music.'
The announcement comes after she split from Pete, 24, earlier this week after a whirlwind five months together, which saw them get engaged after just four weeks.
Ariana follows in the footsteps of the likes of Adele, Michael Buble, Harry Styles, Sam Smith and U2 in being the subject of the entertainment special.
It will mark the first time the 25-year-old star has appeared on BBC One since the One Love Manchester benefit gig aired last year.
The concert – which also featured performances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Liam Gallagher and Little Mix – was put on to pay tribute to the 22 people who lost their lives and 116 who were left badly injured during the suicide bombing that occurred outside Manchester Arena after Ariana's concert in May 2017.
The Dangerous Woman hitmaker recently broke down in tears while discussing the terrorist attack in an interview.
In the emotional radio chat, she said: 'Obviously [if you see it] on the news it affects you but not in the same way.
'You feel bad, you tweet it, you post a picture, you send your condolences, you say something and move on.
'But then Christmas comes and you're thinking about it. It's like… f**k, I'm so sorry.' Ariana then broke down in tears before continuing.
She said: 'It's like people are permanently affected by this shit and it's just like, perspective. It changes everything, changes your life quite a bit. You want to be more present and follow happy impulses and figure it out later and stay in the moment.'
Ariana will film 'Ariana Grande at the BBC' in London on September 7.

Q: jinfo crashed the JVM occasionally Accidentally I found the stat of one Java process is T(Stopped, either by a job control signal or because it is being traced). I think it may be related to jinfo because I ran this command at that time. Then I try to run jinfo again and the process crashed agagin. But it's not easy to reproduce.
Does anyone have the idea of why the stat of process became T without kill -SIGSTOP? Does jinfo have bug which may crash the process?
EDIT: I have 100% reproduced this issue when jinfo the process which has ran over 60 days. The bug seems to be triggered if the process has ran for a long time. It doesn't work for the new processes.
OMG, jmap has the same issue and it's also 100% reproduced. But not for jstack. Now I'm so sure it's something about detecting jvm.

$ java -version

  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06)
  Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01, mixed mode)

In 2010, we at APSIS realised that some marketers felt a bit left out in the cold. As a pioneer in email marketing, we saw the need for a Scandinavian conference where data-driven marketers would get the latest trends and industry insights from international speakers.
Since that day, Email-Marketing-Evolved (EME) became one of the most popular marketing events in the Nordics, gathering business leaders, industry influencers and digital marketers who where looking for smart ways to evolve their business using the right data.
Over these amazing eight years we've met thousands of marketers taking part in our keynotes and workshops. Do you want to know their secret to success?
Data-driven companies are not the ones jumping on the latest buzzwords or the most complex technology. Those who actually succeed has one thing in common: A digital mindset that's constantly trying to evolve.
That's why 2017 marked the last year of EME, and that's why 2018 is the first year of DME.
Marketing evolves, so do we.

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy New Year for those of you that are on a lunar calendar. Lunar New Year marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It is a time when families get together, put aside disagreements, honor their ancestors, and thank the gods for their blessings. People rush to pay off debts before the old year ends and wear new clothes to signify a new beginning. The color red features prominently in decorations and clothing because it is thought to bring good luck and happiness.

In Chinese astrology each year is assigned an animal and an element. There are 12 animals and 5 elements and that means that a specific sign only comes round once every 60 years. This upcoming year will be an Earth Ox year. Although Ox years can sometimes have the energy of a rampaging bull this particular one is tempered by the solid, grounded earth element. Ox years are said to bring prosperity to those who work hard and persevere. The people who thrive in an ox year are those that stay steady and forge ahead with fortitude. This is not the year for get-rich-quick schemes or risky ventures. The addition of the earth element reinforces the sense that prosperity may come from the sustained effort.
The last Earth Ox year was in 1949 – 1950. Interestingly the world experienced a recession in the previous year and began to recover as the Earth-Ox took over and lent its air of somber diligence and good planning. So Chinese astrologers are predicting that this year will not offer much to those seeking a quick fix but instead favor people (and countries) that are prepared to plan, work hard, act with integrity, stay steady and take a long term view. Astrologers say that there isn't enough fire in the chart to predict financial good fortune, but that the Earth-Ox can bring prosperity and successful financial dealings to those who are sincere, tenacious, and show good judgment. Here's hoping!
If you are expecting a little Ox this year, you are in for a treat. Earth Oxes are some of the most reliable and diligent people in the Chinese zodiac. Although Oxes can be stubborn and bad-tempered, the earth element balances out this tendency resulting in people who show good judgment and are loyal and compassionate. Oxes believe in hard work and have a strong code of ethics. They usually enjoy good health and are strong and robust although they can suffer from bone and joint problems. Traditional and conventional the Ox prefers to be at home with family and friends. Ox children can be quiet and shy but are also resourceful, hard-working, and able to entertain themselves. They don't enjoy being asked to step outside their comfort zone but they do enjoy both sporting and creative pursuits.
Examples of famous Oxes include President Barak Obama (1961), former President Richard Nixon (1913), former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (1925), Princess Diana (1961), and Hollywood actors George Clooney (1961) Meryl Streep (1949), Jane Fonda (1937) and Richard Gere (1949).
