Snowflakes, diamonds and human beings – we're all unique. And just as some women look and feel best with moderate curves, others feel compelled to seek a more voluptuous figure. Some women feel the self they know well on the inside is best expressed on the outside with a very curvy shape.
If you are considering extra-large breast implants in Los Angeles, Dr. Stevens is happy to talk to you about it. In working with thousands of women seeking to make a change in their shape, the surgeons know that for some, bigger is better.
At Marina Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, breast implants come in all shapes and sizes. Come in to talk with one of our surgeons and receive a free consultation at select times when you request online. You'll soon see that our physicians have the expertise and concern for your well-being to help you make the right choices for your body.
Sizing You Up: Are Extra-Large Breast Implants for You?
In your consultation, Dr. Stevens will examine you carefully. They'll take measurements and evaluate your overall frame, chest dimensions, existing breast tissue and skin tone. All these factors influence how big you can go and still look natural, and they play a part in whether you might experience complications down the road related to extra-large breast implants. Your surgeon will discuss these considerations with you honestly.
If you and your physician agree that extra-large gummy bear breast implants are an option for you, this is a great time to choose them. The fifth-generation, form-stable, Sientra® implants and the Natrelle® 410s – and others our surgeons can offer as part of a clinical trial – look and feel much like natural breast tissue. Our doctors are among a select few in the country who can choose from different silicone gel breast implants that will create breasts as large as size DDD. This can mean implants from 600 to 1000 cc's.
What's more, through advanced breast augmentation techniques, extra-large gummy bears can look like they've been yours all along. Dr. Stevens uses incisions around the areola or underneath the breast, either site allowing him excellent access inside the breasts for creating the pockets and ensuring the breast implants fit just right. He strongly favors placing implants under the muscle, which creates that gentle, natural-looking slope along the top of the chest wall.
If you're considering silicone breast implants, your consultation is all-important. That's when you'll learn about your options and have the time and information available to make the right choice. And especially if you're considering extra-large implants, your choice of surgeon is that much more important.

Joint Senate Hearing on Project MKULTRA, The CIA's Program of Research in Behavioral Modification
August 3, 1977 (updated June 1, 2020) Published by Lee Floyd
[Beginning of live opening statement in hearing by Admiral Stansfield Turner, Director of CIA — paraphrased and reduced by author]
I would like to thank the Committee for reminding us all that the events about which we are here to talk are 12- to 24-years old. They in no way represent the current activities or policies of the CIA. [Note: Repeated adamant remarks by Admiral Turner this type of activity was completely terminated over 12 years ago which would be 1965]
What we are here to do is to give you all of the information that we now have on Project MKULTRA, operational span was 1953-1964. This was an umbrella project under which there were numerous subprojects for research on drugs and behavioral modification, among other things. The new material we offer is a supplement to the considerable material that was made available in 1975 during the Church committee hearings. The most important information there was a report of the CIA's Inspector General written in 1963. This led directly to the termination of MKULTRA in 1964.
This information from 1975 was sparse due to the destruction of project documents that occurred in 1973. [Note: This is typical for intelligence agencies when the operation is blown (made public) — destroy the paper trail. Today everything is digital and due to NSA's preeminent ability to acquire a full spectrum dominance across the US, corruption and criminal activity is very difficult to conceal.]
The 7 boxes of materials that was recently found had been sent to our Retired Records Center in 1970. It was discovered by an employee fulfilling a FOIA request. The only reason this material escaped destruction in 1973 was that it was not filed under MKULTRA but instead was filed under Budget and Fiscal Section.
Let me remind you that the new material is finance folders and does not inform much about the nature of the subprojects. There are roughly 3 categories of projects within MKULTRA. First, there are 149 subprojects which appear to be connected to research into behavioral modification, drug acquisition and testing, or administering drugs surreptitiously. Second, there are 2 boxes of miscellaneous papers revealing intermediary funding mechanisms used to conceal CIA sponsorship of various research projects. Finally, there are 33 subprojects funded under MKULTRA but have nothing to do with MKULTRA activities.
We have attempted to categorize the 149 subprojects which comprise the MKULTRA activities. [Note: These are all listed in Part 3 of this report. Here I will only include information if it was not reported there in Part 3.]
12. Under CIA's Project MKNAOMI, the Army assisted the CIA in developing, testing, and maintaining
biological agents and delivery systems for use against humans as well as against animals and crops. [Note: This location and research have been reported to be the result of the pioneering work of Nazi/German scientists acquired by the government as part of Operation PAPERCLIP]
The principal types of activities included in these documents have mostly been described in previous reports/hearings. The most significant new data discovered are the names of researchers and institutions who participated in MKULTRA projects. Also uncovered is a possibly improper contribution by the CIA to a private institution. We now have 185 names of nongovernment researchers and assistants who were involved with these 149 subprojects. There are also 80 names of institutions where work was done on these subprojects which include 44 colleges/universities, 15 research foundations or chemical/pharmaceutical companies, 12 hospitals/clinics, and 3 penal institutions.
The newly discovered documents also give a greater insight into the scope of the unwitting nature of the drug testing, some of which was carried out in safe houses in San Francisco and New York City. Three individuals were identified with this activity. There was also unwitting testing on criminal sexual psychopaths in State Hospitals. Some research was also done on a "knockout" drug (K drug) in parallel research.
At this time, I am providing to the Committee the previously mentioned names on a classified basis along with all of the documentation. Let me emphasize again that the MKULTRA events are 12 to 24 years in the past, and I assure you that CIA is in no way engaged in either witting or unwitting testing of drugs today. [Note: Again, we have the adamant disclaimer that seems to say that the MKULTRA activities were completely discontinued over 12 years ago which would be in 1965. In fact, what it actually says is that the CIA is no longer doing drug testing — which was a small part of overall MKULTRA activities.]

The ACI Tank sight glass Type 323 is a modification of our Type 321, suited for an extended range of applications, specifically at increased temperatures. It is used as a viewport or illumination window for the interior of enclosed pressure vessels like tanks, silos or boilers.
The PTFE enclosed resilient gasket technology used in our sight glass Type 321 is not suitable for use above 200°C. To alleviate this, we use high quality graphite composite gaskets as replacement. With this modification, the sight glass Type 323 can be used up to the maximum service temperature of 280°C with borosilicate glass according to DIN 7080, which can be increased to 300°C by installing a protective mica sheet.
Type 323 can be used for operating temperatures up to 400°C when high performance materials like quartz or sapphire glass are used, and even up to 1000°C as a special construction on request.
Because Type 323 uses the same off load sealing technique as our proven sight glass Type 321, it offers the same advantages. The glass disc is completely surrounded and protected by the fitting, and can be replaced on location as one single part. The fitting is delivered preassembled and optionally tested for pressure resistance and leakage, allowing you to completely rely on our quality products!
Read on for more technical information and our product video!
Take a look at the animation video, here you can see the structure of our high temperature tank sight glass type 323 perfectly.

Q: Speeding up Google Sheets DeveloperMetadataFinder I have a small (~50 rows, ~5 cols of data) spreadsheet with metadata attached to many of the rows. I'm trying to find the fastest way to iterate over the metadata for those rows.
Getting the data for the rows (the time between 'a' and 'b') is on the order of 100ms.
Getting the metadata for the same rows using DeveloperMetadataFinder (the time between 'b' and 'c') is on the order of 10 seconds!
  console.log('a ' + Date.now());
  var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var range = sheet.getDataRange();
  var data = range.getValues();

  console.log('b ' + Date.now());
  // between b and c is where all the time is taken up
  var metadata = range.createDeveloperMetadataFinder().onIntersectingLocations().withKey(METADATA_KEY).withLocationType(SpreadsheetApp.DeveloperMetadataLocationType.ROW).find().reduce( (sum, md) => {
    sum[md.getLocation().getRow().getRowIndex()] = md.getValue();
    return sum;
  }, {});
  console.log('c ' + Date.now());

I also tried limiting the rows to just the rows containing data:
var metadata = sheet.getRange(1,1,range.getNumRows(),sheet.getMaxColumns()).createDeveloperMetadataFinder() ...

but that didn't appear to be any faster.
md.getLocation() seems to be what's causing the script to be slow. md.getValue() is fine, but if I comment out md.getLocation() the script speeds up by orders of magnitude.
Is there a faster way I can get all the metadata tags for this range?

Coloursound
What a line-up!!! Billy Duffy (THE CULT), Mike Peters (THE ALARM), Craig Adams (THE MISSION) and Scott Garrett (ex-THE CULT) are COLOURSOUND. The band plays fantastic and modern sounding rock music in the vein of U2 (Achtung baby), THE CULT (The Cult), THE MISSION (Masque) and BLIND FISH. The clear and melancholic voice of Mike Peters sounds very powerful and fits perfect to Billy Duffy´s brilliant guitar playing. Every song is melodic, but has always the right power to blow you away. Especially Heavy rain, Alive and For The Love Of are real rocking and proof, why Billy Duffy is one of my favorite guitarists. With State Of Independence or This life. COLOURSOUND have written a few great rock songs with real hit potential. I also love the great ballad All Kinds Of Wonderful. Except View From A Different Window, I like every song on this album. Friends of the named bands must take a listen to this great band!
Rating: 8 points
-On The Rocks
Coloursound is the brainchild of Mike Peters (vocals and rhythm guitar), who was the driving force behind the Alarm, and Billy Duffy (lead guitar) of the Cult. They wrote all of the tracks as well as producing and arranging the album. These two are aided and abetted by the Mission's Craig Adams and Scott Garrett on drums.
The album opens with Under The Sun which gives an eastern kick to that classic Alarm sound - it's a pacey number with some great guitar parts. Fountainhead leans much more towards the Cult's sound; a full on rock song with a quieter mid section - its driving beat supports a fuzzy guitar sound.
A more laid back atmosphere infiltrates State Of Independence. There's an eastern feel apparent in the jangling guitars, and a really nice vocal change in the middle eight. A simple guitar line leads into Heavy Rain which belies the fact that this is a real rocker. Thrashed guitar riffs are interspersed with some great anguished axe-man breaks, all underpinned with fuzzy bass sounds and a heavy rhythm.
View From A Different Window gives an entirely new perspective on Coloursound. It starts off gently with acoustic guitar supporting the vocals. This number is more vocal led than most on the album, but still has some wonderful guitar breaks. It's a great song - this and the next, Alive, are my two favourite tracks.
Yet another side of Coloursound is apparent in Alive. It's seven minute length encompasses several mood changes - and some surprising sounds. It begins fairly quietly with some spacey sounds and echoing guitars. Then the pace picks up and the sound becomes somewhat reminiscent of Hawkwind at their rockin' best. This is followed with a harder edged, sparser sounding section before returning to the more space rocking! What a fabulous number - I love it.
This Life takes us back to basics - and these guys can certainly knock out a good basic rock song. All Kinds Of Wonderful is another laid back number with some more of the fuzzy guitar sounds and a wonderful vocal melody. For The Love Of is the weakest song on the album with, perhaps too many sounds being thrown together. Where Do You Want To Go? is another rocker with another great vocal melody and some wonderful guitar work.
The last track on the album is another real goodie! Fade In Fade Out Fade Away starts off with acoustic guitar accompanying Mike Peter's voice while, in the background, gentle electric guitar phrases sing out of alternate speakers. Then the sound gradually builds up, becoming much fuller and more bluesey, and the vocals become harsher before, sadly, the music just fades out ...
Now, I must admit that I have a fondness for Mike Peter's music (I still frequently play, and love, my Alarm CDs) and I guess that anybody who likes either the Alarm and/or The Cult - or indeed the Mission - will enjoy this album. Certainly, if you like guitar led classic rock music this should appeal to you.
Marisa - New Horizons
Impressive return from former Cult guitarist. It seems that good things really do come to those who wait. Or, at least they have come for ex-Cult guitarist, Billy Duffy, a man who has been away from the limelight for the best part of the '90's.
Duffy's latest project, Coloursound, is helped in no small way by former Alarm frontman Mike Peters - a man with a voice big enough to punch through skyscrapers. Together they produce a righteous, full-blooded rock album with granite riffs and enough hooks to land the biggest catch since 'Jaws'. Duffy sounds just as good as he ever did in The Cult but what's really impressive about Coloursound is the quality of the songs. There's only one track, (This Life) which disappoints and that's only because it follows the impossible-to-ignore Alive.
Focused and hungry, Coloursound is a real riot.

T in the Life: Rebecca Kling
This article shared 3716 times since Wed Feb 29, 2012
Identifies as: Trans woman
Pronouns: she/her/hers
"I'm a performance artist, focusing primarily on self-written solo work exploring gender, sexuality, and identity. A big part of my motivation in the work that I do is the idea of, well, if no one else is going to tell my story then I have to."
When did you start questioning gender?
"I can't remember a time when I wasn't questioning gender. From as early as I can remember having a concept of gender, I knew 'male' wasn't right for me. It took me a long time to realize that "female" was right for me, and even longer to act on that realization, but I can't remember a time when gender seemed simple and this-or-that. Two check boxes have never felt adequate or complete to me."
What is the best thing about being trans/ gender-variant?
"Being trans has forced me to question my identity and how I present myself and interact with the world. That's been extremely difficult at times, and sometimes it would be nice to feel like I could easily fit into a box or an identity or a style of presenting myself. At the same time, I know I am who I am because I choose to be, not because I'm forced to be."
"I also feel I'm on the way to being exceptionally at home in my body. I understand my body in a way that my cisgender ( non-transgender ) friends sometimes don't seem to get. This becomes particularly apparent around sexuality - I know exactly what my body likes and doesn't like because I've put extremely long hours into deciphering what my body means to me. I think lots of queer folks go through that experience, so I'm not trying to say "Only trans people can know their bodies," but I think being trans often forces the issue."
Do you have a coming out story?
"When I came out to my parents, around the age of fourteen, my mom said, 'We will love you, no matter what.' My dad said, 'We'll love you whatever you are, as long as you're not a Republican.' I'm really fortunate in that way: I never had to doubt my parents' love. At the same time, their love didn't mean they necessarily understood."
How do you explain the way you feel about gender to others?
"More broadly, gender is both socially constructed and innate. If it weren't socially constructed, if it were purely innate and biological, all societies across all times in history would have the exact same idea of 'man' and 'woman.' That's obviously not true. Even in the last fifty years, women wearing pants has gone from something to be talked about to something commonplace. In the end, gender is what each individual decides it is, for them."

June's Message To Luke On 'The Handmaid's Tale' Could Seal Her & Nichole's Fate
By Louisa Ballhaus
Elly Dassas/Hulu
Spoilers ahead for The Handmaid's Tale Season 3, Episode 5. This season of The Handmaid's Tale, the walls between Gilead and the outside world seem more permeable than ever. Perhaps that's because the season begins with Emily and Nichole successfully crossing the border, cementing the idea that a handmaid really could escape. But this week's episode pushed the boundaries even further, re-connecting June and Luke — and the ramifications could be huge.
The episode ends with the Waterfords' televised request for Nichole's return, suggesting the interaction between Gilead and Canada won't be ending anytime soon. That's where June's recorded message becomes so important: while it's no doubt devastating for Luke to hear, it also contains some damning information about several key Gilead residents. June's message may change things between her and Luke — but it may also change things for Nichole, the Waterfords, and Nick.
Here are all the possible consequences of June sending Luke that recording.
Nichole Could Be Saved From Gilead
If the Canadian government takes the Waterfords' request seriously, then Luke will have to put up a fight to keep Nichole with him in Canada. Having a recording that claims Nichole is not Commander Waterford's biological child (assuming a DNA test confirms it) might delegitimize the Waterfords' request, and allow Nichole to stay with Luke.
Sophie Giraud/Hulu
June & Nick Could Be Killed
If Luke uses the tape as evidence for why Nichole should not be returned to the Waterfords — and the Waterfords become aware of the tape in the process — June and Nick will be in huge trouble. In addition to breaking scores of Gilead's rules by sleeping together, these two will have humiliated the Waterfords, who will no doubt want their revenge. Nick is currently off at war, so they might not find it worth calling him back. But Gilead allowing June to live after finding out what's on this tape would be shocking.
The Waterfords Could Be Punished
The Waterfords have now led a national quest for the return of their child. As June's walking partner reminds her all too often, the whole community is deeply invested in baby Nichole's fate — and that was before they went on TV about it. If the Canadian government becomes aware that Nichole is not the Waterfords' child, Gilead officials will likely regret getting so involved, and may punish the Waterfords for putting them in this situation.
Luke Could Have A Mental Breakdown
Luke has had an extremely emotional go of it this episode, starting with a surprise call from June after years of no contact, and ending with a recording of June telling him she fell in love and had a child with another man — one who Luke has met, even! It's unclear how this news has affected Luke, as he was shown the Waterfords' televised address seconds later, but he must be completely overwhelmed. After not hearing from June for so long, he's now bombarded with information — not to mention close encounters with the Waterfords. He's likely struggling to figure out how to process all this, especially when June is still miles away, and may never return. Whether or not Luke uses the information June gave him to protect Nichole, he'll need to grapple with it emotionally, too.
Finally: in all this, there remains the question of why June sent this particular message. Why now? Why this information? It could be that she sent it specifically fearing the Waterfords would pull a trick like this — and that she hopes Luke will use it to keep Nichole in Canada. Or, it could be that in talking to Luke on the phone, her feelings of guilt became too much to bear. She could have sent it for the reason she states in the message: she needs to believe that Luke could forgive her. So that if she does find her way out of Gilead, there will be no secrets between them, and she'll know that Luke can love her for who she is now — for who Gilead has forced her to become.
Whatever the intent, June sent that message at great personal risk to herself. Hopefully, it will have the desired effect.

David Hamilton Grant (born Willis Andrew Holt; 1939–1991) was an English porn producer during the late 1960s and 1970s.

Biography
Willis Andrew Holt was born in Uxbridge in 1939. He changed his name by Deed Poll on the 22 January 1982 to David Hamilton Grant.

David Grant first film was Love Variations (1969) a sex education film that was based on a 'marriage manual' Grant had photographed/published a year earlier. Grant's sex film empire grew in the 1970s, he opened up a number of adult cinemas, the first being 'The Pigalle' in 1974, distributed foreign sex films through his "Oppidan" company, and produced his own featurette length British sex comedies (Girls Come First, The Office Party, Under the Bed) He also produced Snow White and the Seven Perverts (1973), a pornographic animated short parodying Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Grant's featurettes were often released on the lower half of cinema double-bills with popular European sex films in order to capitalise on the Eady Levy tax situation. For example Girls Come First was paired on a 1975 double bill with Enter The 7 Virgins, the Grant produced The Over-Amorous Artist was retitled Just One More Time and re-released as the support feature to a 1975 release of Just Jaeckin's Emmanuelle (1974), The Office Party was paired on a 1976 double bill with Linda Lovelace for President, and the Grant directed Sensations starring Cosey Fanni Tutti and Genesis P-Orridge was the support feature to Pussy Talk (1975).  Described in a 1978 profile in Punch magazine as "a chubby, boyish forty-year-old, with a youthful, uncorrupted face enfolded in two glossy skull-caps of hair and beard", Grant liked to refer to himself as the 'King of Sexploitation', Grant enjoyed giving himself Hitchcock cameos in his own films.

During the making of The Office Party (1976), Grant got into a furious row with actor Johnny Briggs, after Briggs refused to bare all for the film. Briggs feared such exposure could damage his reputation, and a furious Grant threatened to fire him.  After the intervention of Briggs' agent, a compromise was reached and Briggs performed the offending scene with his underpants on.  Briggs later recalled this story in his autobiography, noting that after the film he vowed never to work with Grant again.   As well as his sex films Grant also produced X-rated cartoons like Sinderella (1972), and comedy shorts like Escape to Entebbe''' (1976) a parody of Idi Amin featuring a browned up John Bluthal as a Pakistani TV reporter.

In the early eighties, Grant turned to video, forming the World of Video 2000 label with fellow 1970s sex film mogul Malcolm Fancey. Grant held the position of company secretary, while Fancey was head of marketing. The company launched onto the video market with several soft porn titles in December 1981. in 1983 Grant noted that Steven Spielberg's film E.T. the Extra Terrestrial had yet to be released on home video in the UK, and responded by releasing an old sixties 'B' movie called Night Fright (1968) on video under the title E.T.N - The Extra Terrestrial Nastie, with video artwork that parodied the E.T poster. Universal International Pictures threatened legal action, and the tape was withdrawn then later re-released with different artwork.

On 3 February 1984, Grant was imprisoned for distributing 'video nasty' Nightmares in a Damaged Brain (1981) on video. Grant was sentenced to 6 months in prison for being in "possession of over 200 copies of an obscene article for publication for gain", he was found guilty under section two of the obscene publications act. Grant's defense lawyer during the trial was Geoffrey Robertson. After Grant's imprisonment, World of Video 2000 (and its parent company April Electronics) were placed into liquidation.

The Slough Observer alleged that Grant had been a drug dealer, and had "corrupted thousands of children" during his time in Northern Cyprus.

He died in 1991, believed to have been victim of a contract killing.

Woodstock 50th Anniversary
Before Bonnaroo and Coachella there was undoubtedly the most historic live music event held in Upstate New York. Woodstock was and still is the most iconic music festival and it's back not for one, but two separate festivals this summer. Taking place during the same weekend. The two will be held from August 16th thru 18th. One site will be at the original 1969 Woodstock Music and Art festival grounds, Bethel Woods Center for The Arts and the other at Watkins Glen, NY.
Bethel Woods is the Golden Anniversary event produced by Live Nation and is rumored to feature acts like Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Ariana Grande, Eminem, Foo Fighters and more. Also, Carlos Santana has confirmed that the Woodstock he will perform at is Bethel Woods.
Watkins Glen is being produced by original Woodstock promoter Michael Lang who chose to do it at Watkins Glen citing space issues at Bethel Woods. Neither has unveiled their line-ups. However, Lang has said he has around 40 acts currently locked-in and expects around 100k people per day.
Line-up announcements and more information are expected in the coming weeks and when we know more, so will you. Stay tuned as 2019 is looking legendary!
Learn more about official Woodstock 50 news on their Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Woodstock.com.

I have an enormous compost pile in my back yard that's just a cylinder of chicken wire, open at the top, with a small "door" in the side. Most warm nights I hear rustling out there. Tonight, right after the rustling stopped, I saw a large raccoon standing on its hind legs, about 6 feet away, and staring through the window at me with intense curiosity.
Maybe it was chastising me for not having put any fruit or veggies onto the compost pile in the past few days.
Driving home from San Francisco in the early evening, I took the back route through the hills, and there were four deer standing calmly in the middle of a side street.
Many dog people know that a Kong is a hard rubber dog toy with small holes that you can put food treats into. The dog is supposed to be entertained and "stimulated" (as if dogs aren't overstimulated enough, most of the time) by trying to get the treats out.
My sweetie kyubi and I went to the San Francisco zoo this afternoon. We saw an elephant playing with a large plastic ball. It would wrap its trunk around the ball, brace the ball against its leg, and roll the ball up its leg. Then it would wrap its trunk all the way around the ball and knock the ball against its lower jaw for a while. Then it would drop the ball and nose around on the ground. We finally figured out that this was essentially an elephant Kong. There was a hole in the ball just large enough for the elephant to fit the prehensile end of its trunk into. Then it would hold the ball and shake it so that treats would come out of the ball and onto its trunk. Then pop! into its mouth. I was amazed at how dextrous (um, not quite the right word. Nasally skilled?) it was to be actually shaking the contents of the ball into its trunk the way I would shake peanuts out of a jar into my hand.
The San Francisco zoo specializes in breeding three small cat species: snow leopards, ocelots, and fishing cats. Fishing cats are about 1.5x the size of a house cat and they have brown stripes and spots. They come from Asia, and unlike many cats, they love water. A keeper was feeding them and cleaning their inside nesting/eating area. She stuck a hose through the fence into their outdoor enclosure and turned on the water, and they played with it the way house cats play with pieces of string.
We also saw another fishing cat that had just come out of the water. It climbed onto a perch and proceeded to shake the water off with the same finicky "euw, I'm WET" movements that a house cat uses to shake water off.
When we sat outside the cafe to eat lunch, we noticed a lot of little black and brown birds begging (successfully) for bread, and we wondered how the zoo had gotten rid of the seagulls that used to also beg for food (considerably more obnoxiously). After lunch we headed over to the penguin exhibit and discovered where the seagulls had gone. The penguins were getting fed. This was a complex, two-person operation. The keeper took fish out of a bucket and put them on a tray, then stuffed the fish whole into the mouths of various penguins (they could swallow surprisingly large fish). As she did so, she called out their numbers -- "One for 103B" -- to the volunteer who was marking things off on a clipboard. The keeper knew all the penguins by name: "Come on, Ditsy, focus and don't let the stealers take your fish." The "stealers" were several fellow penguins, and sure enough, about half a dozen raucous seagulls. The keeper waved a stick at the seagulls to keep them from attacking too aggressively, but they did get away with a fair amount of fish. There was also a net stretched over about a 10 foot section of the "moat" surrounding the rock island, and the keeper had also apparently trained the swimming penguins to go under the net when she pointed the stick at it. When they were under the net, the gulls couldn't steal their fish.
To make matters even more complicated, some of the fish apparently had medicine and supplements stuffed inside, designated for particular penguins. So she had to fend off the other penguins and the seagulls and convince a particular penguin to take a particular fish. She also had to climb up the concrete nesting area and coax penguins lurking in little holes in the concrete to eat their medicated fish. She was also followed incessantly on land by about a dozen penguin "chicks" (identifiable as chicks because they had brown feathers instead of black, but they were about twice the size of many of the adult penguins) and periodically fed them too - only they were fussy, and half the time they rejected the fish she gave them by shaking their heads.
Someone should make a video game out of that.
We watched her for at least half an hour and she still hadn't finished when we left.
The lemurs were a joy as always. They were "sun"bathing (although, this being the west end of San Francisco in the summertime, there wasn't much sun to speak of). They have dark fur on their bellies, and they lie on their backs with their legs flung in all directions. The visitor path through the exhibit is a high walkway above the lemur area, and most of the lemurs had chosen to lie in a spot where visitors could look straight down on them.
The zoo has almost finished its new "African Savannah" exhibit, an open area that includes giraffe, zebras, ostriches, kudu, dik-diks, and a couple of other birds. When we went in there, one of the giraffe was lying down in a sand pit. I've never seen a giraffe lying down before. The volunteer docent who was there tending an educational cart with a bunch of giraffe bones and hide said that the giraffe never lay down in their old exhibit. I guess that means the giraffe are more comfortable in the new exhibit. That's good to know.
kyubi, did I miss anything?


If you choose to order a harp from us you would need to decide on a model and, if you choose, extra features you would like to go for. We would negotiate the final price after which, in order to start working on the instrument we would require a deposit of 1/3 of a final price. This deposit normally covers only the cost of all the materials (timber, strings, brass, tuning pins, etc) and some overheads.
There are two options of paying the balance – either in two installments (one half way through, the other on completion) or on the full completion of work. Once the instrument is finished we require a payment in full before you can collect / we post you the instrument.
All our Cláirseachs and wire-strung harps have a 10 years warranty, granted they are kept in appropriate conditions. Each instrument is issued with a certificate with care instructions.


Complementing Dry Hill Trails in Arcadia Dunes-C.S. Mott Nature Preserve and sharing the same trailhead is Camp Trails.
Dry Hill, a nearly 10-mile loop, was designed by mountain bikers as an intermediate run of quick rolling hills and numerous long uphill sections. In contrast, Camp Trails is a ride of only 3.7 miles and is laid out over fairly level terrain, making it much more appealing to those just getting into off-road cycling. Both are multi-use trails enjoyed by hikers much of the year and snowshoers in the winter.
Today, Camp Arcadia is owned by the Lutheran Camp Association and offers a wide range of activities from spring through fall, including mountain biking outings in Arcadia Dunes-C.S. Mott Nature Preserve, just 3 miles away.
The 3.7-mile ride is an easy, non-technical outing through forests, open fields and old orchards but includes backtracking between the trailhead and a small loop. You can avoid doubling back through Abby's Woods and shortening the ride to 3 miles by following St. Pierre Road for a quarter mile back to the trailhead at the end.
There are no facilities at the trailhead other than an information kiosk. Camp Trails departs from the parking area as a winding single track, quickly crossing Matzinger Road before running parallel to an old farm lane, one of many crisscrossing the area. The trail is just inside a second-growth forest and skirts what used to be farm fields. At Mile 0.3 you cross the two-track and the field to enter Abby's Woods.
Abby's Woods is a more mature forest with a slightly rolling terrain. In the spring the wildflowers are prolific. You break out of the trees to cross St. Pierre Road at post B, and cross another field to re-enter the woods, reaching Post C. This post, reached at Mile 1.1, marks the junction with the return trail. Take the fork to the right and within a third of a mile you'll be weaving through a forest on the edge of another former farm field, now an open meadow. The trail is just inside the trees as the meadow remains in view for more than a half mile.
At Mile 2, you cross another two-track and arrive at post D just to the north of Taylor Road. The trail skirts one more large meadow before entering the woods and arriving at post C at Mile 2.6. It's less than a quarter mile to St. Pierre Road, where you either backtrack through Abby's Woods for a 3.7-mile outing or head north on the dirt road to reach the trailhead within minutes.
There are no facilities at the trailhead other than parking and an information kiosk.
Camp Trails begins at the St. Pierre Trailhead, as does Dry Hill Trails, 8 miles south of Elberta or 2.7 miles north of Arcadia. The trail is posted on the east side of M-22, a quarter mile south of Joyfield Road with trailhead parking located 100 yards south along St. Pierre Road, a gravel road.

I've been a resident of Lafayette since I was four-years-old and I'm a proud graduate of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. After college, I taught middle and high school Social Studies in Baton Rouge for nearly four years before coming home to Lafayette. I've always had a passion for the history and culture of my hometown, moving away for several years only made me love this town more once I came back.
My first job back in Lafayette was as a tour guide and blacksmith at Vermilionville, a local historic folk-life village, where I still work to this day. Being able to share the history of our rich and diverse culture with visitors from across the world at Vermilionville made me realize I had found exactly what I wanted to do with my life.
Louisiana, and Acadiana especially, is one of the most fascinating places to explore the fruits of many different cultures coming together. They produce their own unique music, lifestyle and most importantly, food! I truly believe the right bowl of gumbo, the perfect link of boudin or the simplicity of red beans and rice can show you the history of our state all in one bite. I'm excited to join Marie and Ginger as a guide and I look forward to sharing my passion for my hometown and our cuisine.
My first Cajun Food Tour and it won't be the last! Enjoyed each place we visited and had a great time! Jay was great and so full of knowledge!
My wife and I really enjoyed the food and quirky little venues that formed part of the tour and that alone would have been enough for us to have a really good experience, however………….. Jay made the whole tour come to life, he is an extremely knowledgable young man, with just the right wit and humour to go alongside it. During the tour you are at the mercy of those who are in the bus with you as this could really determine the sort of experience you might have, Jay however ensured we all got to know each other at the start and really allowed the group to form a quick bond so we could all laugh along and enjoy the food and sights together.
Top bloke, top tour guide and thoroughly nice guy. Definitely would recommend.
Myself and 3 of my classmate girlfriends took The Cajun Food Tour with Jay on Saturday, May 27, 2017. We are all locally from Acadiana with one of us now living in Arkansas. On our tour we had a couple from London, 2 couples from Texas and 2 couples from the Acadiana area. We had a great time. Jay was very informative about the history of the area as we rode from one restaurant to the next. The food we sampled at all 6 restaurants was absolutely delicious!!! As well as the drinks! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and I look forward to doing it again!! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon food tour Jay!!

This sweater is very easy to size up or down. To increase the width of the sweater, simply work more rows in Zigzag lace while working the front and back (ensuring they are the same length!). The bottom edge of the sweater is meant to sit above your hips; that is, it is larger than your waist, but smaller than your hips. This allows the sweater to get that great drape at the bottom, and allow more freedom of movement for your arms. Zigzag Lace is inspired by lace of the same name in Barbara Walker's First Treasury, pg 190.

I remember my mother lying on the bed in her negligee, sleeping. She didn't look dead, but she was out cold in the middle of the day. Every week my mother went to the beauty parlor. She had an updo and her hair was dyed brown. Our maid or my father or my sister or my grandpa took care of me.
My mother wasn't drunk. She was depressed. When I was older, I had times of depression and lay in bed and slept, too.
There is a certain photograph of Marilyn Monroe taken by Bert Stern in a Bel Air bungalow, six weeks before she died. One of her eyes is hidden by a shadow. The other eye half-closed. She is wrapped in a sheet. Her shoulders bare. She has a secret in her smile; she smiles slightly but her exposed eye is sad. I have painted and drawn this photograph of Marilyn over one hundred times, in watercolor, mixed-media, acrylic, pen and ink, pastel, and colored pencil. My mother was always a little bit vacant. I search Marilyn's pupil for a glimpse of my mother.


Alitalia and Kenya Airways, partner airlines in the SkyTeam alliance, have signed a broad codeshare agreement connecting the networks of the two companies.
This new commercial partnership is bound to boost business travel and tourism between Italy and Kenya, giving tourists and businessmen more travel options and better flight schedules also when travelling to central and southern Africa and to Europe through the two airlines' hubs in Rome and Nairobi.
The new codeshare flights are available for sale through the airlines' reservation systems and in travel agencies from 14 March 2019, for travels from 12 June 2019. On this date, in fact, Kenya Airways will inaugurate its four-weekly service between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Fiumicino, Rome.
Thanks to the codeshare agreement, Alitalia is widening its network in Africa, where the Italian airline now operates direct services to Johannesburg, Casablanca, Algeri, Tunis and Cairo, by placing its "AZ" flight code on Kenya Airways' new service between Rome and Nairobi.
Furthermore, Alitalia will apply its 'AZ' code also on many services operated by Kenya Airways beyond Nairobi to Mombasa and Kisumu in Kenya, as well as to further 17 destinations in Africa and in the Indian Ocean, such as: Abidjan (Ivory Coast); Accra (Ghana); Addis Ababa (Ethiopia); Antananarivo (Madagascar); Brazzaville (Congo); Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar (Tanzania); Douala (Cameroon); Johannesburg (South Africa); Kigali (Rwanda); Khartoum (Sudan); Kinshasa and Lubumbashi (Democratic Republic of Congo); Lagos (Nigeria); Maputo (Mozambique); Moroni-Hahaya (Comoros); Seychelles.
Similarly, Kenya Airways will expand its offer to Italy and Europe by placing its 'KQ' flight code on Alitalia's services from Rome to 16 Italian domestic destinations (Brindisi, Bologna, Bari, Catania, Florence, Genoa, Lamezia Terme, Milan Malpensa, Naples, Palermo, Pisa, Reggio Calabria, Turin, Trieste, Venice and Verona) and to 11 international destinations (Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Casablanca, Geneva, Larnaca, London Heathrow, Madrid, Malaga, Malta and Paris Charles De Gaulle).
Thanks to the codeshare agreement, customers can fly seamlessly to their desired destination with a single 'unique' ticket, checking-in at the airport of departure, and collecting their checked-through baggage at the end of their trip in the arrival airport.
Besides the new codeshare services and more convenient flight connections, Alitalia and Kenya Airways customers will have the opportunity to earn and redeem miles on the entire network operated by both airlines.

Euthanasia is never an easy decision to make. Allow us to assist you and your pet during this time. Offering compassion and support when you and your pet need it most, Clarkson Village Animal Hospital provides a comforting atmosphere for your pet's euthanasia. Our end of life services affords your beloved pet the dignity that they deserve. Caring, mature staff ensure that your pet's final moments are peaceful. We partner with Gateway Pet Memorial Services to offer individual cremation services as well as a wide range of memorial products to honour your pet after they have passed.
Euthanasia is performed to aid and smooth the death of an animal. It is done when we consider that animal to be suffering or when they have a disease or condition that we cannot fix or manage to give an acceptable quality of life. The decision is often made by assessing Quality of Life (QOL) by both the family and the veterinarian. Quality of Life can be determined in older dogs and cats by examining both quantifiable (objective) and non-quantifiable (subjective) aspects of life. It can be challenging to decide to euthanize on your own humanely. Consultation and counselling for (or against) euthanasia are available.
Yes, some veterinarians offer in-home euthanasia.
Give a sedative either in the muscle or the IV (it can get a catheter in before sedation), then the euthanasia drug is given through the IV catheter. In rare circumstances, the drug is delivered through a different route.
We can offer material or can direct clients to a counsellor if it is needed. Please feel free to contact us 24 hours a day, seven days a week for additional information.

Jay started having secret threesomes with random couples in college and now he's looking to get his girlfriend involved. He is obsessed with seeing her hook-up with another guy but he's not sure how to broach the subject without turning her off. Is there a good way to gage her interest without rocking the boat, will she be open to it, is he bi? Tune in for all the details.


In this talk, we study a corporate bond-pricing model with credit rating migration and a stochastic interest rate. The volatility of bond price in the model strongly depends on potential credit rating migration and stochastic change of the interest rate. This new model improves the previous existing models in which the interest rate is considered to be a constant. The existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution for the model are established. Moreover, some properties including the smoothness of the free boundary are obtained. Furthermore, some numerical computations are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
This talk is based on a joint work with Xinfu Chen at University of Pittsburgh and Professor Jin Liang and Dr. Yuan Wu at Tongji University.

Q: Make jackson fail on serialization attempt of a class Is there is any simple way to make Jackson fail to serialize a specific class?
Basically I want to make sure that class containing some sensitive data doesn't leak anywhere and since we log both in text and json I'm afraid it may end up getting logged as json as a part of some bigger object. (sure I could make it serialize to ***** string, but I think error makes it more clear that it's not supposed to even be used there).
My only idea right now is custom Serizalizer that just throws an exception but I was wondering if there is some simpler way to tell Jackson to stay away from that class.

A: public class YourBlackListingSerializer extends StdSerializer<YourPojo> {

    public YourBlackListingSerializer() {
        this(null);
    }

    public YourBlackListingSerializer(Class<YourPojo> t) {
        super(t);
    }

    @Override
    public void serialize(
      Item value, JsonGenerator jgen, SerializerProvider provider) throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {
        throw new CustomException("This class can't be serialized");
    }
}

This should work.
Then you register the serializer
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();

SimpleModule module = new SimpleModule();
module.addSerializer(YourPojo.class, newYourBlackListingSerializer());
mapper.registerModule(module);

However if you want to ignore just the fields then
@JsonIgnore
private String password;

@JsonIgnore
public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}

@JsonProperty
public void setPassword(final String password) {
    this.password = password;
}

Atonement & Veneration
The Act of Atonement
What we refer to as Atonement has two aspects. The first aspect is that of recognition, seeing clearly that we often engage in behavior that creates suffering for others as well as ourselves. Our habituated actions, words and thoughts often go unrecognized, which only causes us to become more firmly entrenched in our deluded behavior. By admitting to ourselves and others that we are subject to this kind of behavior and by recognizing the harm that it causes, we create a means through which this behavior may be avoided and through which our previous karma may be purified. This is called Wisdom.
The second aspect of Atonement is that of resolution. Having recognized that we engage in deluded actions, words and thoughts, we wholeheartedly resolve to modify our behavior. We make vows to govern our behavior so that it causes no harm, and we dedicate those vows to all sentient beings so that they will all become liberated from the round of birth-and-death and its attendant suffering. This is called Compassion.
The Act of Veneration
What we refer to as Veneration is not what is known as "worship" in the West, although some of its forms may be similar to worshipful behavior. Veneration is a form of deep and heartfult thankfulness, a practice which allows us to extend the gratitude of our hearts to those beings who have provided us with the means of liberating ourselves from suffering. By showing our deep respect and gratitude to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Mahasattvas, great teachers and others, we simultaneously cultivate humility, respect, gratitude and egolessness. We also gain wisdom by recognizing that the qualities we venerate in Buddhas and other beings are the same qualities we all possess, and so we come to deeply respect our own Essential Nature as well as the Essential Nature of all sentient beings.
The Personal Atonement Ritual
The formal Atonement Service originated in China and has been modified to conform to the needs of Buddhist practitioners in the West. The Personal Atonement Ritual is an abbreviated version of this service. The central focus of both services is Kuan-Yin, the Chinese version of Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Kuan-Yin embodies the essence of Compassion and represents our own essential compassionate nature. In both services the Dharani of Great Compassion is chanted as a means of awakening the compassionate heart.
The Personal Atonement Ritual can be practiced individually in the privacy of one's own home, at one's shrine or at any convenient, peaceful location. The Personal Atonement Ritual is a convenient yet meaningful way for us to practice Atonement and Veneration so that we may become more aware of our behavior, enabling us to grow in Compassion and Wisdom for the benefit of all living beings.

To celebrate my birthday last month, I spent that night from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next day whooping it up. Impressive for a 30-something mom of two right? Except the crib was my 5-month-old's and the only partying done was her wailing along with any music I attempted to play (the "Happy Birthday" song included). It was a different kind of house party than the ones I used to frequent.
I decided to screenshot how many times I was up with my daughter last night. The grand total was 12. My 3-year-old isn't much better. He still wakes more nights than not to be rocked or patted back to sleep. Or, on the not so rare occasion, promised that gnomes aren't in his crib trying to get him and that it is OK to go back to his slumber.
He hasn't slept in three years. The baby hasn't slept in three months now.
Yes I am tired. Weary. Exhausted. I've felt sorry for myself. I cancel plans with my best friends as a result. I've felt mad at my children for doing this to me. I've also felt guilty for complaining when my life could be much worse.
Then it came to me. The one question I haven't asked over the years: is it my job to be tired right now?
Maybe this is just where we need to be in this moment. Maybe these late-night nuzzles are serving some grater purpose I will realize when I'm much older. Maybe I am nourishing their souls by giving a piece of mine nightly.
I don't know, but somehow when I look at it that way it is a little bit easier to swallow.
I know how deeply not getting enough sleep affects you. I know how ashamed you feel after taking it out on your husband and children. Your fuse is unbearably short these days. I know what its like to auto pilot through a day and not enjoy any of it because you are running on a tank that is empty. I know how you wish you could run away from it all and do nothing but check into a hotel room and sleep.
But I also know what it is like to feel silky soft, blonde, wispy hairs on my cheek. A warm toddler body that fits perfectly into my arms. Soft, perfect skin. I mentally record their tiny grunts, sighs and snores. Retain forever the sensation of a miniature hand in mine and sharp fingernails in my palm.
This is my job now to comfort them, to hold them, to love them at the beginning of the night and at the end of the night. I also cry because they keep me up. Just like any job it isn't always what you thought it would be or what you wish it was. It is making the best out of a situation that is always challenging and always unpredictable.
I am their mother and no one can do this but me.
My job is to be tired right now.

Who Owns the Island? Corporate History of Three Mile Island
General Public Utilities - Holding Company that owned Three Mile Island. At the time of the Accident in March 1979, Three Mile Island I and 2 were owned three utilities operating in two states, i.e., Metropolitan Edison (50%), Jersey Central Power & Light (25%) and Pennsylvania Electric (25%). The companies were organized under the General Public Utilities holding company umbrella. The operator of both plants was Met Ed.
Three Mile Island-1 ("TMI-1"), came on line in September 1974 at a cost of $400 million. Legal intervention was conducted by the Environmental Coalition on Nuclear Power ("ECNP") based in State College.
Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station - In September, 1974, Three Mile Island-1 (819 MW) PWR designed by Babcok & Wilcox came on line. Two years behind schedule and two times over budget .
In December, 1978, Three Mile Island Unit-2 (900 MW) PWR designed by Babcok & Wilcox came on-line three-times over budget, five years behind schedule, and built at a cost to rate payers of $700 million
GPU Nuclear - In September, 1980 , Met Ed renamed itself GPU Nuclear in a bid to disassociate itself from itself. Met Ed continued operate, owned 50% of the plant.
July 17, 1998 - AmerGen Energy (British Energy and Exelon) announced that it reached an Agreement with GPU to purchase TMI-1 for $100 million. The proposed sale includes $23 million for the reactor, and $77 million, payable over five years, for the nuclear fuel. On December 20, 1999, TMI-'s license was transferred from GPU Nuclear to AmerGen.
"Exelon was British Energy's (BE) partner in the AmerGen joint venture that bought three U.S. nuclear plants--Clinton, Oyster Creek and Three Mile Island-1. As expected, BE received about (U.S.)$ 277-million prior to various adjustments. BE said it will pay a break fee of $8.29-million to FPL Group, following termination of the original sale agreement between BE and FPL after Exelon exercised its right of first refusal and matched FPL's offer to become the sole owner of the AmerGen plants." (Platts Nuclear News)
Exelon - Corporate entity created by the merger of PECO Energy and Commonwealth Edison. This company is licensed to operate nuclear generating stations in Illinois and Pennsylvania including Peach Bottom and Three Mile Island-1.
Three Mile Island-2 ("TMI-2") came on line in December 1978, at a cost of n$700 million, and was grossly over budget and behind schedule. Legal intervention was conducted by the ECNP and Three Mile Island Alert ("TMIA.")
On March 28, 1979, 4:00 a.m., the Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit-2 core melt began. On March 30, 1979 - Governor Richard Thornburgh recommended an evacuation for preschool children and pregnant women living within five miles of the plant. Schools in the area closed. Out of a target population of 5,000, over 140,000 Central Pennsylvanians fled the area.
TMI-2 remains in Post-Defueling Monitored Storage in 1992. GPU contracts with AmerGen to maintain a skeletal staff presence at TMI-2.
At the time of the Accident in March 1979, Three Mile Island I and 2 were owned three utilities operating in two states, i.e., Metropolitan Edison (50%), Jersey Central Power & Light (25%) and Pennsylvania Electric (25%). The companies were organized under the General Public Utilities holding company umbrella. The operator of both plants was Met Ed.
POL - Possession Only License. A POL is issued by the NRC for a non-operating nuclear reactor, e.g., TMI-2.
FirstEnergy - Electric holding company based in Akron, Ohio. FirstEnergy is licensed to operate nuclear power plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. FE and General Public Utilities merged in 2001. In November, 2001 - TMI-2 was formally transferred from GPU Nuclear to FirstEnergy. This company is responsible for decommissioning Saxton and TMI-2. GPU contracts with AmerGen to maintain a skeletal staff presence at TMI-2.

Because of its high density and closed structure, the surface is very smooth. It requires only minimal priming before painting. If you heat seal the surface then you may not even need to prime it first, depending on the finish you're after.
When heated, the foam will have slight shrinkage. This is unnoticeable when moulding, but becomes useful when you want to create carved details. By scoring the foam and then heating it, the cut "opens up" and becomes obvious.
