This isn't the photograph I wanted to post today - that was the one that got away.
This fox loves to sleep on my neighbour's shed roof. He doesn't seem at all bothered that he is visible from the windows of the houses all around. In fact, when I opened my bedroom window to snap this shot he briefly looked up at me, then closed his eyes, put his head down again and adopted the relaxed pose you see above.
But the picture I would have liked to have taken eluded me. Early one sunny spring morning, I looked out of the window to see two foxes on the shed. They were standing on in the ridge at top of the roof rubbing noses, with a tree full of white blossom behind them, and the morning sun highlighting their beautiful russet fur.
I didn't have my camera ready, so this picture will have to do - of a sleeping fox glimpsed through tree branches that are just started to bud.


As you learned in this post, I love risotto. I plan on making a lot of variations of risotto on this blog now that I've shown you the basic recipe. For my first variation, I thought I would make something specific to the season.
That's right! Pumpkin Risotto. My brothers girlfriend sent me this recipe and I thought it looked interesting and definitely worth a try. Now that I have tried it, I am very excited to report back that it is delicious! I thought it had the potential to be a little weird, but it really is sooo yummy and I promise that you will love it. The perfect fall dish!
Just like with the basic recipe, heat up your broth on the stove. Except this time, once the broth is warm, turn the heat down a little and add the white wine.
Dice the garlic and roughly chop the pepper and onion.
Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pot. Add the onion, pepper, and garlic.
Saute for a few minutes until the onion softens and starts to turn translucent.
Add the rice and toast it slightly.
Ladle two scoops of the broth and wine mixture into the pot.
Just like last time, stir the rice as it cooks.
Every time it absorbs most of the liquid, ladle more liquid in.
To prevent this from getting too thick, add the pumpin before all of the liquid has been completely absorbed.
Stir it in and see the magic!
Oh yeah… this risotto just turned into pumpkiny goodness.
Stir in the parmesan cheese and add salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the risotto and garnish with the chopped scallions.
You going to try it?!

DEEP COVER (1992) Dir. Bill Duke. Written by Michael Tolkin and Henry Bean. Starring: Laurence Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum, Paunita Nichols, Clarence Williams III, Charles Martin Smith, Roger Guenever Smith, and Sydney Lassick.
"The jungle creed says the strongest feed on any prey that it can. And I was branded beast at every feast before I ever became a man."
The story of John Hull's descent into deep cover as drug dealer for the DEA, eventual shunning of the DEA, and acceptance of his criminal nature is a slightly sprawling tale with a few entertaining missteps - Goldblum's scenery chewing - that is ultimately held together by Fishburne's fantastic performance and Bill Duke's steady direction. As one of the few films to even begin to dramatize the role of the US Government in the crack cocaine epidemic to hit Los Angeles in the eighties, even if it is peripheral to the main story, Deep Cover is a bit of a breath of fresh air in its portrayal of corruption at the government and agent level giving us a far more thorough character study than the average crime film. John Hull's story of corruption begins with him as a boy, witnessing his father's death in a failed liquor store robbery and then moves on to his recruitment by Charles Martin Smith's DEA agent Carver citing Hull's psychological profile as reading like that of a criminal, nevermind that Hull up until this moment is a teetotaler. It's important to note that Hull's innocence is a forced innocence, one held onto desperately by someone who knows what he could become if he were to let go of it and not one based in lack of experience or strong moral code. Still, it is the DEA that notices this truth and that corrupts Hull. It is not the streets, but his naivete that the Government has any moral high ground at all and it's a betrayal that is felt almost instantly by the viewer and Hull. From the moment he arrives in Los Angeles we know this is a story of a man slowly accepting his own nature and while he can rightly lay blame at the DEA for setting him on this course, it feels in a way like a necessary evil for Hull to reach the man he has become at the end of the film; an enlightened righteous father who knows that in the real world the law of the jungle is all there is and all the man-made laws that say otherwise are simply window-dressing, a buffer and false sense of safety and order for the masses and nothing more. Last but not least, Deep Cover's soundtrack gave the mainstream it's first taste of Snoop Doggy Dogg as he was known at the time courtesy of Dr. Dre's killer track Deep Cover (187).

HR in the hot seat: Anjanette Murfet of Coca-Cola South Pacific
HR Director Anjanette Murfet talks engaging and retaining talent, and working in Ghana for a year
BY HCA 11 Apr 2017
What is your current role and what brought you into it?
I'm the Human Resources Director for Coca–Cola South Pacific and I've been here for 18 months. I was introduced to my boss, Roberto Mercade, Business Unit President of Coca Cola South Pacific, by Alison Watkins, Group Managing Director at Coca-Cola Amatil, our bottling partner. I had worked with Alison at GrainCorp and I saw going to work for one of the world's most recognisable and valuable brands as a great opportunity.
The Coca-Cola brand has been around for more than 130 years since our humble beginnings in a pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia. Our beginnings in Australia more than 80 years ago are no less humble, from a warehouse in Woolloomooloo and a handful of trucks delivering in the Sydney area. Today, the Coca-Cola Company serves more than 1.9 billion drinks a day around the world, and 94% of all people on the planet recognise our red and while logo.
We're obviously doing some amazing things with our brands, but I also learnt that we're doing a lot of work on our products. This includes addressing people's concerns around sugar by changing recipes and our packaging.
While we celebrate our heritage and flagship product in our company name, we have more than 500 brands around the planet and we are truly a total beverage company producing what we like to call, Beverages for Life. It was that commitment to doing the right thing that sealed the deal for me.
What are some of your current HR challenges?
We are focused on continuing to develop a people strategy that enables our business to grow in a developed market and where consumer tastes are changing. Sustained growth in a mature business is really hard work. This means our business and our people need to be agile and focused on the work that matters most to execute our business strategy. To help achieve this, we have just launched our new Performance Management Practice – Performance Enablement.
With Performance Enablement we have eliminated the annual and mid- year performance conversations, we have eliminated end of year ratings and our people managers are no longer required to spend time on lengthy forms and system administration. Instead, our people will have much more frequent and personal contact with their manager – there is a lot more feedback in the moment and at monthly catch ups, knowing where you stand at all times and no end of year surprises.
There is also increased clarity on why the work you are doing matters and how it impacts the business. There is better time management thanks to knowing how to prioritise and deprioritise in line with the business strategy.
What is the favourite part of your job?
Working on important initiatives that can directly impact on the success of an organisation and ensuring that our people strategy supports the overall business strategy and drives results for the business. I know it's something of a cliché, but in a company focussed on marketing and services our people really are our greatest asset. It's a hugely competitive market for the kinds of skills we use, so I also like solving problems and coming up with innovative solutions to ensure that we attract, retain and engage the best talent.
What attracted you to a career in HR?
HR as a career was something that I fell into. I was a lawyer working in a consultancy firm that provided HR/ IR and advocacy to clients. One of my clients asked to second me into a HR Manager role and I realised that my legal background provided great grounding for a career in HR. I really liked that HR allows you to build great talent, reward and recognise people and drive performance through engagement and world class best practice. I found it more rewarding than the law and I haven't looked back.
What's one piece of HR related advice you would offer?
Really take time to understand the strategy and the commercial drivers of the business and ensure that your HR Strategy is in service to that. Take the time to understand the numbers, use data to help you drive your strategy and contribute to the broader commercial agenda.
What hobbies and interests do you have outside of HR?
I have a 13-year-old son who is a fairly competitive rower, so in summer there are a lot of early morning starts for training and regattas. That also burns a lot of energy, so I spend a lot of time cooking to feed him to keep the fuel up. Apart from that, I love reading and listen to music. I try to run – try being the emphasis.
Moreover, in 2009, I was appointed to a role working on a large merger and acquisition in Ghana in West Africa for one year. It was a fantastic opportunity for myself and my family to work and live in a third world country.
Please complete this sentence: If you weren't working in HR, you would be… working as a lawyer

News@noon: Safe spaces; bracing for Ohio State
A noose in a school bathroom, Thanksgiving is almost upon us and more happening today
News@noon: Safe spaces; bracing for Ohio State A noose in a school bathroom, Thanksgiving is almost upon us and more happening today Check out this story on detroitnews.com: http://detne.ws/2gdqZX0
The Detroit News Published 11:30 a.m. ET Nov. 21, 2016
University of Michigan students expressed frustrations on the steps of Angell Hall last week.(Photo: Steve Perez / The Detroit News)Buy Photo
Today is Monday, Nov. 21, 2016, and a Royal Oak Middle School student has admitted to placing a noose in a school bathroom. The student has been removed from the school until "further notice," the district superintendent said Sunday.
The discovery of the noose is the second incident with racial or ethnic overtones at the school this month. A day after the election of Donald Trump as president, some students at the school were videotaped chanting in the lunchroom "build that wall," referencing a controversial campaign promise by candidate Trump to build a wall along the southern border of the United States. The incidents are one of many that have been alleged across the United States since the general election.
At college campuses in Michigan and across the country, students and sometimes university staff are creating areas — sometimes known as safe spaces — to work through issues. From the outcome of the presidential election, to racist and violent incidents on campus, students are creating places to process, protest, organize and find ways to move on.
And while they're not necessarily new, safe spaces have become a lightning rod for critics who say college students are overly sensitive and ill-equipped to face different or opposing views. How do you feel about safe spaces in schools and on campuses? Let us know in the comments or tweet us @detroitnews.
Here's what else we are following today:
Thanksgiving is on Thursday and that means the holiday shopping season is about to be upon us. Kick things off by grabbing a copy of The Detroit News a day early (Wednesday) and you'll get all the door busters and holiday savings. Sales start Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. at the printing plant — 6200 Metropolitan Parkway, Sterling Heights, 48312 — and will continue into the afternoon.
Love it or loathe it, Thanksgiving Day shopping is here to stay. But some stores are rethinking their strategies on whether it makes sense to be open on the holiday itself.
Are you hosting Thanksgiving dinner? If you are, here are some turkey tips. Here are a few new takes on classic recipes from executive chef Alex Knezevic of Vertical restaurant. And if you're tired of the usual fare, you can try something new with these Turkey Day appetizer recipes courtesy of Kate Lawson. Don't forget the decorations! This is the perfect time to try a table centerpiece.
The newest float in America's Thanksgiving Parade, sponsored by Quicken Loans, was unveiled to the public Friday, October 28, 2016. The float is called "Detroit — City of Possibilities." It is more than 100 feet long and made of steel and wood. The float will appear in the 90th annual America's Thanksgiving Parade on Nov. 24. (Photo: Todd McInturf, The Detroit News)
If you aren't doing the whole Thanksgiving gathering thing, you don't have to feel left out. These area restaurants are offering up Thanksgiving Day dinner for those who flock in groups and those who fly solo.
Planning to head downtown for the parade? Be on the lookout for Co-Grand Marshals Judge Damon J. Keith and comedian Keegan-Michael Key. And the newest float in the parade, sponsored by Quicken Loans.
Pope Francis is allowing all priests to absolve the faithful of the "grave sin" of abortion, extending indefinitely the special permission he had granted for the duration of the just-ended Holy Year of Mercy.
Francis wrote in the Apostolic Letter made public by the Vatican on Monday that "there is no sin that God's mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart seeking to be reconciled" with God.But he also wrote: "I wish to restate as firmly as I can that abortion is a grave sin, since it puts an end to an innocent life."
When VP Pence went to 'Hamilton'
If Donald Trump is waiting for an apology from the cast of "Hamilton," he will have to continue to wait. Actor Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the celebrated musical, told "CBS This Morning" on Monday that "there's nothing to apologize for." Dixon gave Vice President-elect Mike Pence an onstage earful about equality at the end of Friday's performance. Trump has taken to Twitter to demand an apology.
Things didn't go so well for one audience member at a Chicago performance of the musical. The man was arrested during a performance after audience members say he shouted "We won!" and other election-related comments from the balcony.
Is it easier to cheat?
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have put a world of interpersonal connections quite literally in our hip pocket. Experts say those same social networks have made it easier for people who are inclined to cheat on their significant other to do so with partners familiar and previously unknown.
Bracing for the 'The Game'

Both teams have starry stats, 10-1 records and championship intentions. Each has mostly rolled, but recently slowed. The colossal collision in Columbus is five days away, and everyone's ready for a colossal conclusion. The question is: Will Michigan's quarterbacks be ready?
It's the overriding issue heading into Saturday's showdown, and a main reason Ohio State is a 6.5-point favorite. Well, there also are the little issues of Urban Meyer and J.T. Barrett and the Buckeyes' streak of 11 victories in 12 meetings.

Latest Project News
Updates for the project as of Fall 2019.
The site plan was approved by the Planning Commission.
The Guaranteed Maximum Price development and negotiation is expected to take place in December and January.
In the winter of 2019, the library's collection and service staff will relocate to the existing trailers at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School - 601 S. Oak St. Parking plans will be worked out, and staff will work with the schools to minimize the impact on the school and surrounding neighborhood. Stay tuned for more details.
The collection at the elementary school will be limited, but will include public computers, programming like storytime and book discussion groups.
New e-resources have already been added to expand the library's collection, including Kanopy (30,000 documentaries, independent movies, and classic film), RBDigital (British TV shows and movies, lectures from Great Courses, independent movies, concert films and documentaries, and Spanish language entertainment), and an increase in e-audiobooks (through Overdrive and Libby)!
Updated designs were presented to the City Council in January 2019.
Construction is set for January 2020 through March 2021.
Is the library closing? No, but the library will relocate to the trailers next to Thomas Jefferson Elementary School for about 12-14 months starting in the winter of 2019.
Where is Thomas Jefferson Elementary School? 601 S. Oak Street - the library will be located in the trailer next to the school. The Library will have its own entrance from Oak Street.
Will there be a wheelchair-accessible ramp to the new entrance? Absolutely. In the rendering it is on the left, leading up to the new main doors. It is difficult to see in the rendering, but please know that ADA accessibility it a priority for the library, and we are accommodating all visitors!
Will there be windows in the Youth Services area on the lower level? Yes, on two sides of the building (facing Virginia Ave. and the driveway), which will allow for a lot of natural light. This level will also be larger with the expansion toward Virginia Ave.
What will happen to the memorial benches, plaques, tiles, etc.? They will all find new homes at the new building!
What will happen to the plants and trees surrounding the library? Some will remain, and some will be reused in other City locations.
The Library Board's Recommendation
The Library Board of Trustees recommends a plan that will place the children's area on the lower level, all the adult areas on the upper level, and create a new entrance on the corner of Park Avenue and Virginia Avenue. All of that is in additional to the infrastructure upgrades and more meeting room space. View the presentation from the community meetings in August.
There are many benefits to this plan, including:
More Space: The children's area will have nearly three times more space than the current area, and one-third more space than if the area remains on the upper level after the renovation. The flexibility of the lower level will also allow for zones for preschoolers, elementary kids, and teens.
Safety and Security: As recommended by Police Chief Gavin, separating the children and adult areas helps create a safer environment for families during man-made and natural disasters.
Quiet Environment: Moving kids to the lower level creates a quieter atmosphere for the adult areas. Right now, the children's area is directly above quiet study space, and lively little feet moving, stomping, and exploring above is a distraction.
Decor and Comfort: The lower level can be outfitted to brighten up the area and fit the needs of children including lower bookshelves, comfortable seating, and colorful decorations.
History Up Front: The Local History Room would become a prominent feature of the library on the upper level.Right now it is tucked away on the lower level. The Board is looking forward to creating a bigger presence for this amazing local resource.
Convenience: Moving the adult areas to one level is more convenient for visitors -- all materials and staff will be on one floor, not split between two floors. Visitors will enjoy finding everything they need on one floor.
Flexibility: The new areas will allow for more programming flexibility overall.
The rough layouts of the levels could look like the following; for a presentation of all the options the Board was considering, click here.
Why are Renovations and an Expansion Needed?
The building is aged and its systems are outdated, having been constructed in 1957 and expanded in 1968 and 1992. Also, the Library has over 27,000 registered borrowers and is expected to exceed 35,000 by 2033. The Library does not have the space to accommodate the growth trend.
The analysis in the Master Plan Addendum 2014 portrayed a building that is ADA deficient in many aspects, in need of many infrastructure repairs or replacements, lacks storage and sufficient security measures, needs larger public restrooms, a larger Local History Room, and meeting space to accommodate larger audiences.
Renovations and the proposed two story expansion of 6,600 square feet will address these issues. The entire building will be designed to attain LEED Silver certification.
The Library Board welcomes public input about the expansion and renovation project via email or mail to the Board of Trustees at 120 N. Virginia Ave., Falls Church, VA 22046.

Welcome to the Sacred in Opera!
The Sacred in Opera seeks to promote operatic representations of the religious quest through encouraging places of worship, colleges/universities, and communities to expore the dynamic interplay of opera and theology. This combination has long formed a powerful catalyst for spiritual thought. From the emergence of the Quem Quaeritis trope, which heralded the rebirth of theatre after the Dark Ages, the church's role in the development of dramatic and musical representation was pivotal in laying the foundations for modern opera.
Today, opera often provides a spiritual touchstone for audiences who, at times caught unaware, find themselves examining such issues as faith, free will, and humanity's place in the universe. Opera has historically drawn us to questions of faith and shaped our perceptions.

one rad song
interviews about rad songs with the artists who bring them to us
"From Where I'm Standing" by Schuyler Fisk
ARTIST: Schuyler Fisk
SONG: "From Where I'm Standing"
WRITERS: Schuyler Fisk and Blu Sanders
ALBUM: The Good Stuff
SITE: Schuyler Fisk
BUY: The Good Stuff - Schuyler Fisk
Good music shows up all the time when I least expect it. Last summer I watched an indie film from 2006 called I'm Reed Fish, starring Jay Baruchel, Alexis Bledel and Schuyler Fisk, among others. About forty minutes into the story, Schuyler's character gets up at an open mic night and starts to sing a song. Not knowing that she was a musician, I'll admit that I expected it to be one of two scenarios: the first being bad, and the second being some kind of trickery involving a track by another musician. Well, shame on me. The song was not only lovely, but it was actually written and performed by the actor herself. And just like that, I became a Schuyler Fisk fan.
I love it when I'm wrong, especially when I get new great music out of it. This is the song from the film, as recorded later by Schuyler for her debut album. The original film version can be heard here.
BA: Hi Schuyler! Thanks for being a part of this series. I'm so happy to have you on board. I love your song.
SF: My pleasure. And thank you!!
BA: I first heard "From Where I'm Standing" in the film I'm Reed Fish. Was that shot before you'd recorded it for your album, The Good Stuff? Or was it the other way around?
SF: I signed on to do the film, I'm Reed Fish, and they asked me to write 2 songs for my character to sing in the film. They explained to me what they wanted and I wrote the songs. "From Where I'm Standing" was one of those songs. Then, years later, I re-recorded it to put it on my album, THE GOOD STUFF.
BA: Was it your idea to make your character in that film a singer/songwriter?
SF: No. When I was first approached by the filmmakers with the script, she was already a singer/songwriter.
BA: Are the lyrics about a real person in your life, or a hypothetical scenario?
SF: They are my take on the situation/point in her life that my character was in . . . but that was something that I related to in my own life . . . so a little of both, I guess. For me, the song is about how life doesn't always end up like you expect it will. No matter how great your plans are, things change, plans change, and sometimes/usually those changes are for the better. Kind of like, "the journey is the reward." You can still have your eye on the prize, but the song is a reminder to me not to get too caught up in the end result when all these bumps in the road along the way are the special parts.
BA: You wrote this song with Blu Sanders, right? How did that collaboration come about?
SF: Blu and I had met years before and wrote a bit together. We became good friends. When the film came up, he was in LA for a week or so and we had plans to get together. Then of course we started to play around with writing some songs and I had the film project on my mind. One thing led to another and we came up with this song (and another called "On Your Arm," also in the film), in like a day or two.
BA: Was he part of the album version?
SF: No, he wasn't a part of that version.
BA: This song feels a little bit different than the rest of the album. Was it recorded in the same sessions as the rest of the tracks?
SF: It was recorded with the rest of the album but written years before.
BA: That makes sense. Do you still play it live? If so, do you do anything differently with it in that setting?
SF: I do still play it live. And yes, I have been playing around with it and play it very different now. Sometimes I even change the lyrics a little bit. I have to keep it fresh for me!
BA: What were you listening to at the time that you wrote "From Where I'm Standing"?
SF: I honestly cannot remember. Probably Wilco and Patty Griffin.
BA: What's your favorite song right this minute?
SF: Hmmmm. "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver or "Losers" by the Belle Brigade.
BA: Again, thanks for your time. I look forward to catching your live show at some point.
SF: Hope so!!

Wonderful list! But I'm going to prove what others have long suspected, that I am in fact a nit-picking PITA, and point out that #11 should be "it's home to…" instead of "they're," since it refers back to the city of Rochester. And then, to compound my offense, I will add substance to #11 and put at the end of the sentence " … and Rochester School for the Deaf." RSD has a long and storied history in the chronicles of educating people who are deaf. "The Rochester Method" was a proprietary communication mode used for quite a long time at RSD. It was mostly fingerspelling, and was wonderful to watch.
You wrote: "The Pledge of Allegiance was written by native Francis Bellamy". If you are considering "Mt. Morris, New York" as part of Rochester?
Diello says:
Bellamy's not a native, but he attended UofR.
Very cool! Lots of stuff I didn't know. I think this should also be on the list… 🙂
51. Rochester has the oldest miniature golf course in the U.S. Although two other mini golf courses also makes this claim, according to Roadside America Whispering Pines Miniature Golf Course holds the world record for oldest golf course that is still in use (since 1930).
Great post Kim!!
And, let's not forget….according to the National Amusement Park Historical Association (NAPHA), SEABREEZE AMUSEMENT PARK is the twelfth-oldest operating amusement park in the world (fourth-oldest in the United States, with the Jack Rabbit as the oldest continuously operating roller coaster in America!!
Don't forget that Susan B. Anthony was also from Rochester, even though she was born in Massachusetts.
On the topic of #23, a more interesting fact on the Rochester Fire Department is in the 40's and 50s's, the RFD shops, at the time located on Andrews St across the street from Engine 17's quarters, fabricated/assembled fire engines from blank Mack truck chassis.
Show me the data behind the graham cracker/marshmallow claim because what I find on wikipedia at least doesn't substantiate that at all. Also, when did we start calling glaciers "ice slides"? Plus, are we only counting larger cities when it comes to median house prices, because Jamestown, NY is definitely cheaper than Rochester, NY when it comes to that according to Zillow. The "flirting law" is interesting but not specific to Rochester as it's a state law.
There's my nitpicking 🙂 Otherwise, a fun list.
RochesterSubway.com says:
Julia, that one is true. The flour used to make graham crackers was developed by Rochesterian Sylvester Graham in the 19th century and commercial marshmallows were first mass produced in Rochester in 1895 by Joseph B. Demerath.
Also, no one mentioned Jell-O! Invented by Pearl B. Wait (1897) in the village of LeRoy.
Jason Haremza says:
Sylvester Graham seems a tad suspect. Born in Connecticut and according to the indomitable Rochester City Historian Blake McKelvey, left Rochester for NYC in 1840. I'm open to being convinced though, since I love graham crackers and would love to add them to the local culinary litany of white hots, French's mustard, and garbage plates.
Also, in 11 years of living here and spending nearly half my waking hours within a few blocks of it, I've NEVER heard anyone refer to the Xerox Tower as 'Toner Tower.'
Matthew Denker says:
So since this intrigues me immensely, I did a little digging on graham crackers. Bound Brook, in NJ, claims to be the place they were created: http://www.boundbrook-nj.org/boundbrookhistory.cfm. It's not clear how much, if any time Mr. Graham spent in Rochester, considering he was born and raised in MA, and then left there for NJ. Rochester is still home to plenty of great food, as pointed out already. My God, the Jillian is still earth shatteringly good.
Richard Rolwing says:
Could someone indulge my ignorance and explain the factoid that Lake Ontario is the "4th deepest" of the Great Lakes but has an "average depth" that is much greater and which places it in fact in second place?? Please be gentle…

Wowza Media Systems Teams Up With Mirror Image to Launch its CDN Service
Author: Editorial Team HostingJournalist
Wowza Media Systems, provider of streaming media server software, has teamed up with Content Delivery Network (CDN) provider, Mirror Image, to launch Wowza CDN Connection. The new service offers a single place to set up a CDN and Wowza software to reliably stream media to audiences around the world.
"Our customers ask for CDN services that provide a consistent 'Wowza-enabled' end-user experience," said David Stubenvoll, CEO and co-founder of Wowza.
"As our customers scale and grow, they ask Wowza for CDN services that will complement their Wowza software and provide a consistent 'Wowza-enabled' end-user experience," said David Stubenvoll, CEO and co-founder of Wowza Media Systems. "Until now, they've had to use multiple vendors and take on the additional complexity and development that entails."
The Wowza CDN Connection, initially connecting to Mirror Image's Dynamic Delivery Network (DDN), a 'next generation' CDN, would enable customers to easily deploy and operate a more efficient, effective and lower-cost streaming workflow with the simplicity of a single vendor.
Key-features of the Wowza CDN Connection would include:
A unified, single-vendor solution to integrate multiple parts of the delivery workflow with a consolidated bill.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO), with significantly lower start-up capital and operational investment required compared to conventional custom-built origin-edge systems.
Pay-as-you-go pricing flexibility and scalability that makes it easy and affordable to spin up and spin down resources on demand and eliminates the wasted expense of underutilized resources.
Rapid deployment with cross product integration to get up and running within days or weeks, instead of months.
Granicus, a provider of cloud-based streaming services for local, state and federal government agencies, is the first to launch with the new Wowza CDN Connection, rapidly moving traffic on its Open Platform content delivery system to the Wowza CDN Connection in 'under 10 lines of code.'
"Ease of deployment was a huge factor for us," said Javier Muniz, Chief Technical Officer at Granicus. "With Wowza CDN Connection and Mirror Image, we saw zero interruption to our service during the switch, and we now have a much more powerful platform to support our customers' stringent streaming needs."
Wowza Media Systems, LLC, engages hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide by delivering quality streaming media to any Internet-connected device. The company has offices located in Evergreen, Colo. and Mountain View, Calif.
Founded in 1997, Mirror Image is also a U.S.-based company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Tewksbury, Mass. The company's Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution enables global organizations to deliver their content globally, with ultra-low latency to any device type.

Q: How to find a datasheet for a part that doesn't exist on the manufacturer's website? While bored recently, I decided to take apart a few old pieces of electronic equipment and attempt to reverse-engineer them.  I've been doing pretty well, but I've come to an IC that I can identify but doesn't seem to exist on the manufacturer's website.
Specifically, it's an SOP20 package marked "I87-0205-000 1202S7E", with Microchip's logo on it.  I'm fairly new to this, but context clues (looking at the board) suggest that this is some kind of MCU, which makes sense, given the manufacturer.  I've tried googling these numbers, and while I get about 8 billion results on Alibaba with vendors willing to sell me hundreds of them, none of them actually tell me what it is, or offer any datasheets.  I've tried contacting a few of these vendors asking for datasheets, but none have gotten back to me yet.
So, anecdotes aside, are there any good methods of figuring out the name of a chip/finding the datasheet for a somewhat unidentifiable chip?

A: You've pretty much got the process down.
Recognize that some parts, such as mask-programmed microcontrollers and perhaps some pre-programmed flash microcontrollers may be house numbered, which means they have a part number assigned by the customer, not the manufacturer, and no information will be forthcoming from the latter, nor will you likely ever find a datasheet. The part may or may not be basically a standard part.
Sometimes, especially with microcontrollers, you can match the package, manufacturer (if known) and the pin pattern (things like power pins, crystal pins, etc.) to reduce the number of options, but it's not an especially rewarding exercise unless you're being paid to analyze someone else's product. The magic is all in the firmware in such cases, and it will be copyright (as well as hardware locked, though that doesn't slow down some unethical folks much).

A: Unfortunately, I believe searching the web the contacting the manufacturer is all you can do. Besides that, using as many clues from the rest of your circuit is your best bet. I searched I87-0205-000, and based on these links:
http://au.alibaba.com/product/1630440539--electronic-component-I87-0205-000.html
http://au.alibaba.com/product/733777980-I87-0205-000-IC-Supply-Chain-.html
it looks like it could be a voltage regulator. To see if it is a MCU, so you can look to see if there is a separate power supply circuit on the PCB. Or does this chip appear to be accepting input from a battery or other power source and conditioning it for other ICs? A MCU would also have bypass capacitors nearby. If it's an older device, the MCU would surely have an oscillator nearby as well. If it is a microprocessor, not a microcontroller, there would be external memory on the board too. Good PCB design would have the MCU and high speed signals clustered together, away from the I/O. A voltage regulator would probably have some larger capacitors nearby to filter a dirty input signal.
Based on what the equipment does, it is best to identify the purpose of as many components as you can and see what you are left with.

This is a perfect example of a family owned business vs. one that is publically listed on the stock exchange. Family owned business is about jobs and the publicly owned one is about profits.
Yeah – this "taking care of" thing is a foreign concept.

Q: setAnimation not working in LongClickListener Why is my setAnimation not working in LongClickListener where as it is working fine in outside the LongClick listener?
This is my java code for adding animation
final Animation shake = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(NavyashActivity.context, R.anim.shake);
final CardView breakfast = (CardView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.breakfastcard);
breakfast.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
         @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
            Log.e("shake long press","coming ");
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            breakfast.setAnimation(shake);
            return true;
        }
    });

Also my shake.xml is as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <rotate
            android:duration="70"
            android:fromDegrees="-5"
            android:pivotX="50%"
            android:pivotY="50%"
            android:repeatCount="5"
            android:repeatMode="reverse"
            android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
            android:toDegrees="5" />
        <translate
            android:fromXDelta="-10"
            android:toXDelta="10"
            android:repeatCount="5"
            android:repeatMode="reverse"
            android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator"
            android:duration="70" />
    </set>

and my layout for cardview for which i need shaking  is:
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="15dp"
    android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
    android:longClickable="true"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:id="@+id/breakfastcard">

   <LinearLayout
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:orientation="vertical"
       android:background="@drawable/framebox">

       <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/breakfastheading"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"/>

        <TextView
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
           android:id="@+id/breakfastdetails"
           android:layout_margin="2dp"/>
   </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

I just want that as soon as the user Longclicks the cardview element the card should start shaking so as to notify that on being touched for long time its moving continuosly.

A: Try to change this:
breakfast.setAnimation(shake);

To this:
breakfast.startAnimation(shake);

You are setting the animation but not starting it.

Paris Ontario is a small community that sits perched along the banks of the Grand River, and the community charm is well known in the area as there hospitable shops and cafes that dot the main street. In recent years, the town has seen a renaissance as the community is growing and new contraction is expanding the residential housing base.
Older homes in the community are prone to maintenance and when a roof replacement in Paris is required, they call the experts in all things roofing AM Roofing Solutions.

The first line item to consider if the location of the roofing contractor you are reviewing, a local profile that has a body of work in the area of roof replacement in Paris is essential to the validity of the contractor. Next up, is the insurance factor – if the contractor has insurance it says he is working above board and has an air of legitimacy about the company. If the contractor for your roof replacement in Paris is insured, he will carry municipal licensing as part of the his stock and trade to legitimize the company as going concern in the roofing business. Next question to ask a potential contractor is the use of a sub contractor to perform the work. You want to avoid this situation as problems down the line will lead to finger pointing and whatever concern has created the feedback will go untendered. Two key components when choosing a roofing contractor come down to a workmanship warranty and a product warranty. If the contractor doesn't offer a warranty or has a small warranty for their work it should raise flags about the work you are purchasing. Also, materials warranties are relative to the quality of the materials and if the warranties for the materials are short it means the materials aren't of the highest quality and are to be avoided if possible. The last and most important item for your roof replacement in Paris is a written estimate that will protect you from unforeseen charges.

Visitors and citizens in Spain's two main island groups are to get a taste of networked living with a EURO€30 million (US$32 million) government scheme.
Ten of 11 major islands in the Balearic and Canary archipelagos have submitted bids for a 'smart island' initiative scheduled to run up until 2019. The program follows smart-city investments in urban centers such as Barcelona.
It should give the islands "new tools and intelligent management services," says the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism in a press release.
See also: Will Smart Cities defend against hackers?
While the exact nature of the smart-island applications that will be developed has yet to be revealed, what is seems likely is that much of the investment be related to tourism.
The Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro) and the Balearics (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera) are the second and third-largest tourist destinations in Spain, respectively.
In the Canaries, tourist activity accounted for 31.2 percent of gross domestic product in 2013.
However, both island groups compete strongly with European vacation hotspots across the Mediterranean and further afield, so local authorities are keenly aware of the need to innovate as a means of retaining tourism revenues.
Back in 2012, the Spanish government moved towards developing a smart-island concept with a program called Intelligent Tourism Destinations.
Patricia Fraile, manager of Canaries Technical Excellence (Canarias Excelencia Tecnológica), an ICT cluster in the Canary Islands, says this trend will likely continue in the smart islands program, with each island carrying out projects relevant to its tourism offerings.
In addition to the preeminent role of tourism in the island economies, policy makers will probably also be looking for initiatives that can boost local employment and bring connectivity to remote communities.
For now, it remains to be seen which proposals will get the green light from central government. The total value of projects submitted to the Ministry was €69.4 million ($73.7 million), 131 percent more than the total budget for the program.
Leading the charge was Ibiza, a Balearic island known for its un-spoilt landscape and pulsing nightlife, which pushed for close to the €10 million ($10.6 million) limit per application.
Following it, in descending order of project value, were La Palma, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Mallorca, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, El Hierro, Formentera, and Menorca. Only La Gomera, the second-smallest Canary Island, failed to apply for funding.
While the criteria selection for funding was somewhat skewed towards smaller, less affluent islands, it is also true that some of these have already made significant strides towards the creation of digital economies.
A final decision on funding is expected in the coming months. And once the smart island projects get underway it will not just be islanders who might benefit.
According to Fraile, Spain's State Society for Tourism Technology Innovation and Management (Sociedad Estatal para la Gestión de la Innovación y las Tecnologías Turísticas or SEGITTUR in Spanish) is currently looking to sell the Intelligent Tourism Destinations concept abroad.
In due course, the smart islands idea could also be ripe for export. With approximately 11 percent of the world's population living on an island somewhere, there are a lot of people who could benefit.

My Personal Journey Shaped by Service Work
Victorian Tilley
By Lexie Folkerts
I've been living here in Livingston, Montana serving my community with Energy Corps for three months. It feels like it's been at least six months because of all the ups and downs I've gone through personally, and the learning curve that goes with service work. I'm so grateful that within days of me arriving in Montana and beginning my service I was able to attend the Montana Serve Symposium. I feel that the training and education provided at the symposium better prepared me for what my service term would look like. While at the symposium I couldn't even call myself an enthusiastic beginner because it didn't even feel like my service had begun yet, and I was still holding on to so much doubt and negativity from previous work that I wasn't even ready to fully accept the service I had walked into. Now, about three months later, I can say that I have left the disillusioned learner phase and entered the cautious contributor phase. I no longer feel completely lost just two weeks after discussing my service work with my supervisors. I now, for the most part, know what to work on and the goals I'm working toward.
To say that this experience has been unique would be an understatement. I had never been to Montana before now, I have no family in the state, Livingston is the smallest town I've ever lived in, this is my first time serving with AmeriCorps, and to top it off, this is my first time living through a global pandemic. It's always challenging making friends in a new place without the aid of something structured and routine like school. A pandemic just puts a cherry on top of the challenges of living somewhere new. Livingston only has one Energy Corps member, but we've also got a Food Corps member. In the past few weeks we've started a sort of routine with Livingston's previous Energy Corps member Alexis, Farmer Aubrey the Food Corps service member, and myself getting outside and hiking. We'll be white water rafting this weekend and hopefully an added hike as well. I am grateful for the few friends I've made so far and the lovely experiences we've had, enjoying Montana's natural beauty.
When I started on this journey I was emotionally taxed. This transition, just like other big changes in my life, has rattled me. I feel much stronger now to know that I overcame all of the growing pains and grew to love this beautiful state. Ten years ago I left high school wanting to change the world. Overtime as I learned how cruel the world can be, I grew slightly more pessimistic. The past three years since graduating as an Environmental Resources Engineer I've been trying to learn what a professional career in 'saving the world' might look like, and I'm starting to think I may have found my niche. Applying to jobs sometimes you don't think twice as to why you're drawn to certain fields or types of work. While I have many interests and passions, my resume shows pretty clearly that helping people and serving is where I feel most at home, most useful. In 2015 I spent six weeks in the Dominican Republic creating eco-friendly cinder blocks and plasters that we applied to a rural pharmacy and police station. I've taught elementary school kids about my high school's local flora and fauna surrounding our wetland, and I've taught them Spanish. I could probably argue my years of experience as a waiter shows how important serving the public is to me too. Serving here in Park County and the City of Livingston, it feels like government work may be my best avenue toward making a difference in people's lives and saving the world. So thank you, Energy Corps.

stereotypes, heuristics, historical sociology, and cowboy iconography
There's a really great episode of This American Life this week. This one is called "Got You Pegged", and it's about stereotypes and initial (wrong) judgments. If you've ever read Gerd Gigerenzer or other cognitive psych/bounded rationality micro-foundations of behavior stuff, you'll find it really interesting. If you want to see how people extrapolate from stereotypes to really bad sociology, listen to Act II, in which Chuck Klosterman reads aloud this essay from Esquire, on how Germans study cowboy culture to understand American sociology:
Now, I concede that my reason for viewing Germans as "friendly" is completely unsophisticated; I believe Germans are nice because they were nice to me, which is kind of like trying to be a meteorologist by looking out a window. But–at least from what I could gather–the reason German citizens assume Americans are barbaric and vapid is almost as unreasonable, even though they're usually half right.
During a weekend in Frankfurt, I went to an exhibit at the Schirn Kunsthalle art museum called "I Like America." This title (as one might expect) was meant to be ironic; it's taken from a 1974 conceptual art piece called I Like America and America Likes Me, in which German artist Joseph Beuys flew to New York and spent three days in a room with a live coyote and fifty copies of The Wall Street Journal. (This piece was a European response to the destruction of Native American culture, which made about as much sense to me as it did to the coyote.) The bulk of "I Like America" focused on German interest in nineteenth-century American culture, specifically the depictions of Buffalo Bill, cowboys, and the artistic portrayal of Indians as noble savages. It was (kind of ) brilliant. But it was curious to read the descriptions of what these paintings and photographs were supposed to signify; almost all of them were alleged to illustrate some tragic flaw with American ideology.
And it slowly dawned on me that the creators of "I Like America" had made one critical error: While they had not necessarily misunderstood the historical relationship between Americans and cowboy iconography, they totally misinterpreted its magnitude. With the possible exception of Jon Bon Jovi,2 I can't think of any modern American who gives a shit about cowboys, even metaphorically. Dramatic op-ed writers are wont to criticize warhawk politicians by comparing them to John Wayne, but no one really believes that Hondo affects policy; it's just a shorthand way to describe something we already understand. But European intellectuals use cowboy culture to understand American sociology, and that's a specious relationship (even during moments when it almost makes sense). As it turns out, Germans care about cowboys way more than we do.
Interesting, and I chuckled a lot at the story and always delight in being able to say "those wacky Europeans," but I wonder–is Klosterman wrong? He's probably right about the specious spuriousness of attempting to extrapolate from 19th century cultural iconography to make claims about contemporary social mores and cultural values, but is he wrong about the importance and persistence of cowboy culture?
He can't think of a modern American who gives a bother about cowboys. Really? Not even Joss Whedon? Then what the bother was up with Bush's 2000 inaugural "Black Tie and Boots" ball? Why does Bush always appear to be clearing brush from his ranch (and for that matter, wow, does brush really grow like kudzu?). Is it true that in picking this period of American history and its cultural iconography, Germans were setting themselves up for wrong allegorical arguments about contemporary American problems? The judgments about America's hubris and crumbling empire may be wrong (or are they…), but I don't think it's necessarily because they overstate the significance of 19th Century American Western ideology.
Well, I give a bother about cowboys, and more than metaphorically. Having been born and raised in the American west, much of public school education was made up of studying cowboy history and culture. It started in 4th grade, the year all Californian children study California. We went to an old gold mine (now tourist trap) and panned for gold and bought iron pyrite. We visited the Mission San Juan Capistrano and were disappointed that it was not swallow season. We learned about cowboys and found out that wow, there used to be cows here. When we grew older, we learned about Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, about Lewis and Clark, about Manifest Destiny and the push to expand ever farther West, because the Turner Thesis said "Go West, young man" (well, that was the gist). We learned about the contentiousness that surrounded adding California as a free state, about the '49ers (not the football team) and the Chinese railroad workers (whom I thought were cowboys in a way too). I figured that they were all cowboy types, and that cowboys built our nation. My young mind saw little distinction between pilgrims and pioneers, or between immigrants and settlers. Everyone was always moving, and everyone was pushing at the edges of some frontier. Everyone had their reasons, but the urge to stretch the boundaries of home, nation and collective morality (even if that means relocating other people who already live there, and by "relocate" I mean "kill/remove by Federal fiat/declare war") persists to this day.
In many ways I think that the Germans are better off examining 19th century culture for indicia of American values than by watching the TV shows or ads. I don't give a flying bother about that show "Gossip Girl" or what it's like for stuck up preppies on the Upper West Side (that's the bourgie side, right?), or all those reality shows set in "Orange County" (I use scare quotes because I am from Orange County, and it does not look like that!). Most of pop culture is what America aspires to look like (fit! beautiful! rich!), not what it is, and as Sociological Images tells us, usually gets it all terribly wrong. Of course, I am just now getting some graduate-level training in the sociology of culture, and most of my reading in bounded rationality is telling me that heuristics are useful and stereotypes aren't always so bad, but I am just not buying Klosterman's thesis. In his article, he makes two different types of arguments: one, that using pop culture to gauge contemporary cultural values is using a bad heuristic, and two, using history to understand contemporary culture and society is a bad idea. I might agree, reservedly, to the former, but not necessarily to the latter. Perhaps Klosterman hasn't read Chuck Tilly's Historical Sociology. Perhaps Klosterman is right that no modern American (besides me, apparently) cares much about cowboys, but he's probably wrong about the magnitude and importance of the idea of the Western frontier, whose icon is the cowboy. We have a cowboy president (for now), depictions of "noble savages" abound in newspaper reports about undocumented workers and the yearly referendums, and political writers will insist on comparing our contemporary politcians to the imperialist cowboys of the 19th century (even though they are wrong). So really, cowboys and 19th century history are a great place to start with in attempting to understand modern American sociology.
Our friends at the Edge of the American West could probably tell us more, and I hereby tag them to comment and begin a splendid interdisciplinary conversation. Perhaps they will bridge the chasm between sociology and history, allowing us to focus our energies on our more pressing and neverending beef with the economists.
This song always makes me think about Western ideology, and if you listen to the lyrics, they basically articulate in very idealistic tones that "yippee ki-ay motherfucker" thesis behind 19th century politics, and arguably, modern imperialist tendencies:

Jay Livingston says:
By "cowboy culture" I assume we mean not what cowboys were really like but the way they are represented in popular media — the ideas that the cowboy movies and TV shows express. Yes, those films and TV shows are not nearly so numerous as they were in mid-20th century. But the ideas and feelings are still around. If you look at ads for SUVs from recent years, you see the same imagery.
So maybe Europeans are not so wrong in looking at cowboys in US cultural products, which they still love to do. (The song clip –and Bing's similarly themed "I'm an Old Cowhand" — reminds me, I think the French film magazine, Cahiers du Cinema, had a spinoff publication devoted entirely to Westerns. The name, if you haven't guessed it already.. . .
Yippee Yi-yo Cahiers.

MTV NewsNow Special Examines The Implications Of Terrorist Attacks
Lance Fiasco September 20, 2001 • 12:00 am
Who is Osama bin Laden? What does he want? What is the United States' relationship with the Middle East? Who are our allies and our enemies? How and why did the events of September 11 happen, and what do they mean for Americans in the future? Last week's surprise terrorist attacks on the United States broadsided the American public, raising an endless stream of questions about our personal safety, our national security and our global affairs.
Perhaps no segment of our population has more questions – or more at stake – than young people. Premiering on Friday, September 21 at 5:00 PM, with repeat airings throughout the weekend, this MTV NewsNow Special Report speaks directly and frankly to young Americans about the origins and implications of last week's bombings.
Hosted by MTV News correspondent, John Norris, the special attempts to unravel the preconceptions, misconceptions and conflicting reports, allowing viewers a clearer understanding of where the United States stands in the wake of this tragedy, and the challenges that lie ahead. Featuring seven distinct reports from MTV News correspondents Kurt Loder, Sway, Gideon Yago, Iann Robinson, and SuChin Pak, the 1/2 hour program will examine the current crisis from a variety of perspectives, from historical, cultural, and religious to political, economic and social. The special will weigh in on how the events of September 11 have precipitated an unfortunate rise in discrimination and violence committed against Arab Americans on our college campuses and in our neighborhoods, despite calls from President Bush for tolerance. A companion report will examine the foundation and tenets of the Muslim religion and differentiate the beliefs held by most of the Muslim Arab community from the extremist policies of terrorist organizations like that of Bin Laden.
The special will also address the questions so many of us have about the political and cultural climate in the Middle East, and the nature of U.S. involvement there. In addition this segment breaks down the United States' global relationships, delineating who are our allies and who are our adversaries. With President Bush preparing the nation for a protracted retaliation, the program then turns its focus to what may be the most looming questions on everyone's minds: Are we going to war, and what does this mean for the young men and women in the United States military? This portion of the program examines the implications of war for the countless college-aged men and women who have stood on call for military duty as reservists. The segment will also shed light on the draft, looking at its history and whether it would even be re-instituted in the near future. In yet another report, the special will meet with many of the young people who have pulled together in the face of this crisis to make a difference. Finally, the program will take a closer look at the effect of last week's tragedy on the entertainment industry. Featuring first-hand reactions to the bombings from recording artists and actors, this segment demonstrates the wide-reaching impact Tuesday's attacks.
