Passengers on ship turned away over virus fears disembark in Cambodia

SIHANOUKVILLE: Passengers on a cruise ship that spent two weeks at sea after being turned away by five countries over coronavirus fears started disembarking in Cambodia on Friday (Feb 14).
The MS Westerdam, carrying 1,455 passengers and 802 crew, docked in the Cambodian port town of Sihanoukville on Thursday. It had anchored offshore early in the morning to allow Cambodian officials to board and collect samples from passengers with any signs of ill health or flu-like symptoms.

After tests, no one on board was found to be carrying the virus, Cambodia's health ministry said.
Cambodian authorities granted permission for passengers to disembark on Friday morning, the ship's operator, Holland America Line, a unit of Miami-based Carnival Corp, said in an emailed statement, ending two weeks of uncertainty for the cruise.
Charter flights were being organised to help passengers return home, the statement said.
"Flight details are being communicated to guests as they are finalised, and it is expected that a full disembarkation will take a few days given the charter flight schedule," the statement said.

The sound of cheering inside the ship could be heard from Sihanoukville port when the Westerdam finally docked on Thursday evening.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen personally greeted the passengers with handshakes and bouquets of roses as they stepped off the ship and boarded a waiting bus.
"My wife and I gave him some chocolates as a show of our appreciation," Lou Poandel, a tourist from New Jersey, told Reuters after he disembarked and met the Cambodian leader.
World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus praised Cambodia for its example of "international solidarity" that the WHO has been calling for.
Stoking authorities' fears in countries on the ship's route had been the quarantine in Japan of the Diamond Princess cruise ship, also managed by a unit of Carnival Corp. Of the 3,700 passengers and crew on that vessel, 218 have tested positive for the virus.
On Tuesday, the Westerdam tried to dock in Bangkok, but Thai authorities denied permission. On Wednesday, a Thai Navy warship escorted it out of the Gulf of Thailand, and it set a course for Cambodia, the Marine Traffic website showed.
William Gregory, a 76-year-old American tourist, said he was very happy with how he had been treated on board during the ordeal.
"They kept us in good spirits," he told Reuters. "I didn't stress. Very relaxing. We took tai chi."

Military wipes its hands of Turkish politics
Rumors and denials of a possible coup by the Turkish military are a symptom of the malignant political atmosphere in the country.

The Turkish military appears to be taking a hands-off approach to the country's toxic political environment, refusing to get stuck between the president's impassioned followers and fervent foes.
In recent years, Turks had come to believe that the word "coup" had been discarded from the lexicon of the civilian-military relationship and that the news media had forgone using the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) as a tool for shaping perceptions among the public. The virulence of the current political atmosphere is evident in recent speculation and media commentary that the military might once again intervene in politics. Efforts by both the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the opposition to benefit from this situation will only erode confidence in civilian politics.
The TSK high command evidently have had enough of the allegations about it and felt compelled to share its uneasiness with the public in a rare political statement issued March 31. "Discipline, absolute obedience and firm chain of command are the basic elements of the TSK," the General Staff remarked in a post on its official website. "It is inconceivable to think that the TSK would tolerate any illegal phenomenon or action that would digress from the chain of command. We have initiated legal action against those who spread such news and comments, which have absolutely no legal and logical basis and which contravene media ethics." The statement continued, "News and comments in some media organs without any foundation naturally negatively affect the morale and motivation of our personnel."
Of interest, the Turkish media have split over the identify of the intended recipient of the generals' message. Some believe it was a stern response to a March 27 article, "Operations Targeting Turkey and Erdogan," by Rasim Ozan Kutahyali in the daily Sabah, which is close to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In the article, Kutahyali claims that the Russian plane shot down on Nov. 24 was intentionally targeted by Gulenist pilots in the Turkish air force, and he said 50% of F-16 pilots are pro-Gulenist. Kutahyali added that all such pilots will be dismissed from the TSK en masse in 2016, and if Chief of the General Staff Hulusi Akar resists the move, he will have to resign.
Another possible explanation for the statement is the TSK's discomfort over allegations, particularly in the international media, that it might stage a coup against Erdogan. One such piece is "Could There Be a Coup in Turkey?", a column by former Pentagon official Michael Rubin, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. According to Rubin, if the army were to intervene against Erdogan as was done in Egypt, there would not be much opposition to it.
Will there be a coup in Turkey? If so, how? If not, why? A couple of retired military officers shared their opinions with Al-Monitor.
Retired Col. Ali Bilgin Varlik of the Ankara-based Central Strategy Institute noted that Turkey has maintained a democracy for 100 years, albeit with some hiccups. He said, "There can't be any more coups in Turkey. Grounds for a coup could become fertile [if there were] extreme conditions of ideological and societal fragmentation, economic collapse, lost wars, etc. But I don't see any of this happening in the near future."
Why then is such speculation making the rounds? "I think the AKP is using coup rumors to suppress the domestic opposition," Varlik said. "With these rumors, it prevents its policies from being questioned while it concocts an internal threat to unite its base behind the party."
A retired general who requested anonymity agreed with Varlik, saying, "Actually, the issue that had forced the TSK to release that statement is precisely the thing we should be discussing. Why is the TSK still a popular tool both for the media and the politicians? Why can't civilians refrain from reverting to the TSK for issues they should be dealing with themselves, and why is it there are always these expectations of the TSK? There is something missing in respect for the army. These are the matters we should discuss."
What is happening today is that Turkish society is splitting not over the role of the AKP, but over Erdogan. Today, if the committed anti-Erdogan front is approached, one will hear a virtual chorus of, "It doesn't matter if the country is set on fire, if there is a crisis or a plot, as long as Erdogan goes." Meanwhile Erdogan partisans proclaim, "Let there be instability, polarization and clashes, as long as Erdogan remains in power."
In a country squeezed between fervent, unquestioning Erdogan lovers and those who despise him with a passion, both sides have their expectations of the military. Their intensity is so deep that they don't hesitate to provoke the TSK or use it to intimidate the opposing side. This is why the TSK is basically saying, "Leave us out of this. We are busy enough."

Denzel Washington is going back to the vengeful-anti-hero well for his latest film, a follow-up to 2014's successful ultra-violent actioner The Equalizer. The sequel, titled The Equalizer 2, features the same writer (Richard Wenk) and the same director (Antoine Fuqua) as the first film, and looks to focus on the same type of brutal action scenes that made the first movie so memorable.
Washington returns as Robert McCall, a secretive ex-assassin with special skills, such as singing karaoke, gardening, and killing bad dudes by using common household items. In the first movie, he used his tough-guy skillset to rescue a girl from dangerous Russian gangsters. In the sequel, it appears that the Russians are displeased by the events that transpired in the first film, and they have taken vengeance by killing one of McCall's friends. This brings one of McCall's other friends (Pedro Pascal) out of the woodwork, and then some Equalizing, fancy camerawork, and creative action scenes will take place.
The Equalizer 2 (I tried, but it looks way cooler on the movie poster) will leave a blood smear in theaters on July 20th.

Q: SFML static vs dynamic library loading. How does visual studio specify this? I'm currently trying to get SFML setup in Visual Studio. I've been following the tutorial here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.4/start-vc.php
I've gotten to the point where I've specified the library location and which .lib's I want to use.
However, I'm confused at the part where it states that the previous actions have just setup the project to load the libraries dynamically. This confuses me. Have I not just specified the .lib files? And aren't .lib files static libraries? Why would the project be configured to dynamically load a library after specifying static lib files?
Furthermore, when I go to run the demo project. It states that the dll's can not be found...
The tutorial then goes onto state that if you want to statically link to the libraries, you have to specify different .lib files and define a preprocessor macro.
So my question: How exactly does Visual Studio decide whether or not the library you pointed to will be loaded statically or dynamically? It seems like if I wanted to load a library dynamically, I would have to point to directory containing dlls, not libs.
Any help?

A: VStudio doesn't get to decide how to load (or better: let's say use) a certain library. It uses it as the library was built (static or dynamic). When building a library with VStudio the output will (almost) always contain a .lib file.
Check the 2nd bullet of [SO]: Errors when linking to protobuf 3 on MSVC 2013
(@CristiFati's answer), that briefly describes the difference between the 2 library types. For extended information on dynamic link libraries, check [MS.Docs]: Dynamic-Link Libraries. The .lib files are used by VStudio when building your application (at link time to be more precise). Now, if everything goes well, your application is built (you'll have an .exe file in your project output directory).
When running (and debugging) that executable, if it uses dynamic libraries, those libraries .dll files must be present in one of the locations specified on [MS.Docs]: Dynamic-Link Library Search Order (to keep things simple, I'd suggest to copy them in the same folder as your .exe file - note that it's for demonstrating purposes only, it shouldn't be way of deploying apps).

A: A library is defined as static or dynamic when it's built and the SFML website provides both versions (You can specify which you want when building from source).
When you run the application, it will look in the system and its own directory for the dynamic library file for SFML.
You can use xcopy in the PostBuild project settings to copy the .dlls you need into the target directory. For example, this will copy all debug .dlls into the directory with the .exe:
xcopy "$(SFML)\bin\*-d-2.dll" "$(TargetDir)" /Y /D

The process is the similar for Release builds, but you'll need a file to specify that you want to exclude .dlls ending with -d

Studying in Italy
What do you think when I say Italy? That gorgeous Mediterranean climate? The birthplace of the Renaissance? Pizza? What about a country to study abroad? If this is something you haven't considered before, then let's run through some reasons why Italy is a great place to choose to study abroad.
As we've already discussed, Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance: a cultural movement which swept across Europe and laid the groundwork for the beginnings of the modern world, as we know it.
The Renaissance left Italy with a rich artistic heritage. The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci, the roof of the Sistine Chapel was painted by Michelangelo, Machiavelli wrote his treatise the Prince, while Dante Aligherhi composed the Divine Comedy. And this is just a tiny fraction of the artists that Renaissance Italy produced. There's also Petrarch, Rafael, Donacello and Botticelli.
In short, if you're studying a Liberal Art, then Italy is definitely the location for you. Soak up the atmosphere and go be inspired by the greats.
But what if you're studying a scientific discipline? Don't worry. Italy has you covered too. The Renaissance spawned great scientific thinkers like Galileo and Copernicus who proved that the Earth orbited around the sun.
Just as science flourished in the Italian Renaissance, so too did the circulation of science, as well as all other ideas. In 1452 Johann Gutenberg published the Gutenberg Bible – the first book printed by a machine using moveable type. This was pivotal to the future of printing – vastly changing the nature of book publishing. Simultaneously print volume increased and prices decreased.
The Universities
As well as a diverse heritage, Italy also boasts 30 universities which feature in the QS World University Rankings of 2018.
The Polentiecnico di Milano is 14th in the world for Structural Engineering and the joint 7th for art and design. There is also the universitá di Bologna, which is the oldest university in the world, as well as the università di Roma, which has produced six Nobel laureates including Particle Physicist, Carlo Rubbia.
In short, Italy has a fantastic collection of universities to choose from including some of the best in the world.
The Student Lifestyle
Italy boasts a great collection of cities, which has all a student might want to keep themselves entertained. So let's talk through some of the best.
The most obvious to begin with is Rome. Before there was the Renaissance, there was the Roman Empire: one of the greatest empires in history, which spawned such great thinkers like Ovid, Cicero and Horace.
It also holds some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world, such as the Forum and the Trevi Fountain. But beyond this there are also flea markets, book bars and theatres, and we've already seen just how impressive the università di Roma is.
If you're more into fashion than history, then Milan is an excellent option for you: it is one of the fashion capitals of the world after all. And with eight universities, it has the biggest student population in Italy.
As we're talking about student population, special props should go to Pisa too. Beyond posing at the famous Leaning Tower, you will find students exploring its 20 historic churches, sampling the finest wine bars or singing in karaoke bars. And the universitá di Pisa is a major selling point with its most famous alumnus being none other than Galileo.
Finally, we have Bologna. While not the most well-known, Bologna is one of the friendliest cities in Italy. It also has plenty of free museums and some of the best food in Italy. It isn't known as Italy's culinary capital for nothing.
There isn't much else to say about studying in Italy. It offers some of the best universities in the world, has a rich cultural heritage and has thriving student populations. What more could you ask for?

Morning Worship: Prodigal Son, Elder Brother represent two types of spirituality
This is not the first time you have heard the story of the Prodigal Son, said the Rev. M. Craig Barnes at the 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning worship service in the Amphitheater.
"But for over 30 years, I have had congregations who are mostly made up of elder brothers," Barnes said. "What is the gospel to them?"
Barnes' sermon series for the week is "Saving the Elder Brother," and the title of Sunday's sermon was "The Gospel for Good People." The Scripture reading was Luke 15:25-27.
In Luke 15, Jesus tells a series of parables to the religious leaders of his day. They were concerned, Barnes said, because Jesus welcomed sinners and ate with them and he was "making a judgment on those trying to keep their sins to a minimum."
The first parable was the story of the lost sheep. The good shepherd left the 99 sheep to look for the one that is lost. The second was about a woman who had lost a silver coin and upended her house to find it.
Both of these stories end with "Rejoice with me, for the lost is found."
As Barnes recounted the story of the Prodigal, he said that asking for his inheritance before his Father had died was not usual, and the Prodigal was telling his Father he wished his Father was dead.
The Prodigal wasted all his money on "dissolute, riotous living," and then could only find a job slopping pigs, "a tragic job for a Jewish boy," Barnes said.
At one point the Prodigal "came to himself."
"I don't know if he had a moment of repentance," Barnes said. "It doesn't say he 'came to Jesus,' " but the Prodigal decided to return to his Father's house because he realized his Father treated his hired hands better than he was being treated.
The Prodigal rehearsed his speech to his Father.
"When I was in trouble, I always I had my lines down pat for my dad," Barnes said. But before the Prodigal could get the speech out, the Father came running to greet him.
The Father ordered him a new coat and told the servants to kill "the fatted calf, the 4-H calf, the pride and joy of the farm."
"Jesus' point is that the Savior came to find the lost; devotion to the lost is why the Savior came," Barnes said. "But what about the Elder Brother, the 99 sheep who did not get lost? The good shepherd left the 99 sheep vulnerable while he went to look for the one. When he returned rejoicing that the lost had been found, the other 99 rolled their eyes like the Elder Brother rolled his."
The Prodigal's story and Elder Brother's story are not the same, Barnes said. He grew up in a church that had Sunday night services, the hallmark of which were testimonies by members of the congregation.
"Even as a boy I knew the basic outline — 'I was a bad person, then I met Jesus, with Jesus I am a better person,' " Barnes said. He did not doubt the sincerity of the people who gave these testimonies because the church was filled with people who had conversion experiences and related to the Prodigal's testimony.
"No one wants the testimony of the Elder Brother," Barnes said. "It would be, 'Uh, I was raised in the faith, never not believed, tried to do my best to do right.' There is no drama; Hollywood does not want it and neither did testimony night."
What is the amazing grace for those who did not wander away, who weren't lost, who always believed? What sins can the Elder Brother confess?
Barnes said that when an "Elder Brother" in his congregation would tell him he needed to confess, Barnes knew that the sins would be boring.
Typically, the person would be chair of the governing board, chair of the stewardship campaign and an adult chaperone for the youth trip to Haiti. But, his mother-in-law was moving in with them, he needed to work some extra time to afford the construction to accommodate her, so could he take a break from teaching Sunday school?
"That's it?" Barnes said. "I can do better than that. But as pastor to the Elder Brother, who is a really good person, what are the options to invite him deeper into the gospel?"
One option is to think that the Elder Brother is a Prodigal but just doesn't know it.
"No one here today thought that the prayer of confession did not apply to them," Barnes said. "There are things that you have done and left undone, and no one is counting on their own righteousness."
You can't collapse the Prodigal and the Elder Brother into one person. How do you find someone who is not lost? There needs to be another option. How do you invite the Elder Brother to celebrate?
"I have five mornings to answer that question," Barnes said.
He cited theologian Karl Rahner, that there are different forms of spirituality that have a biblical basis. Two of them are "wintery" and "summery."
"Summery" Christians likes their faith hot. They really believe, have a great testimony, want joyful worship like the party for the Prodigal. Their favorite psalm is Psalm 100. They like strong sturdy hymns like "Holy, Holy, Holy," and praise choruses where they have an image of the presence of God.
"Wintery" Christians move to the margins and do a lot of lonelier soul searching. They talk to God like the Elder Brother talked to the Father, asking what is just and what is unjust. Their favorite psalm is Psalm 22. They like redemptive hymns in minor keys.
"The reaction of the wintery Christian to the tragedy in Charlottesville is deep grief: How can there still be white supremacists?" Barnes said. "The summery Christian moves quickly to look for the redemptive work of God in the world. They are both biblical, Psalm 22 versus Psalm 100."
He continued, saying that wintery Christians always ask "Why do bad things happen to good people"; "Why has my life not ended up so good?" Summery Christians ask "Who is God, who am I, who should I evangelize, where does God want me to go?"
Barnes said that wintery Christians would love to tell summery Christians where to go, "but they never talk to each other. God created both seasons, and sometimes summery Christians move to the margins and wintery Christians find a lot more faith. The spirituality of the summery Christian is like the Prodigal; life is about gratitude for God's graciousness."
The Elder Brother has a spirituality of pressing the hard questions that he won't leave alone.
"They are rigorous theological questions asking where is the mind of God when it seems God has left," Barnes said.
The besetting sin of the Prodigal is obvious.
"The temptation of the Elder Brother is to be dead right — to make the right choices, but his soul has withered and is without joy. The point is to make it into the Father's arms and know joy," Barnes said. "That is the Prodigal."
What will it take for the Elder Brother to find joy in the Father's arms?
"See you tomorrow morning," Barnes said.
The Rev. Robert M. Franklin Jr., director of the Department of Religion, presided. Dede Trefts, vice chairman of the board of trustees and chair of the Bestor Society, read the Scripture. Jared Jacobsen, organist and coordinator of worship and sacred music, and the Chautauqua Choir were joined by the Youth Chamber Music Connection of Pittsburgh. These 53 young people are under the direction of Edward Leonard, founder and music director of the Chamber Orchestra of Pittsburgh and music director of the Pittsburgh Philharmonic. The group first came to Chautauqua in 2012 and has returned every year, doubling in size every year. On Friday morning at the 9:15 a.m. morning worship service, they will present the world premiere of a new piece by 19-year-old Sasha Voinov. This will be the fifth year that the group will premiere a new piece by Voinov. David Haas provided the setting for Responsorial Psalm 27, "The Lord is My Light and My Salvation." The Chautauqua Choir and the Youth Chamber Music Connection presented "The Spheres," by Ola Gjeilo from "Sunrise Mass," as the anthem. The offertory anthem was "Agnus Dei," from Gabriel Urbain Fauré's "Requiem, Opus 48." The organ postlude was "Tu Es Petra" by Henry Mulet. The Gladys R. Brasted and Adair Brasted Gould Memorial Chaplaincy provides support for this week's services.

Q: javascript - find nested object key by its value I'm trying to find key of object which is containing my value.
There is my object:
var obj = {}

obj["post1"] = {
    "title":    "title1",
    "subtitle": "subtitle1"
}

obj["post2"] = {
    "title":    "title2",
    "subtitle": "subtitle2"
}

And now, I'm trying to get object key of value "title2"
function obk (obj, val) {
  const key = Object.keys(obj).find(key => obj[key] === val);
  return key
}

console.log(obk(obj, "title2"))

Output:
undefined

Desired output:
post2

A: You have to access the subkey of the object:
 function obk (obj, prop, val) {
   return Object.keys(obj).find(key => obj[key][prop] === val);
 }

 console.log(obk(obj, "title", "title2"));

Or you could search all values of the subobject:
 function obk (obj, val) {
   return Object.keys(obj).find(key => Object.values( obj[key] ).includes(val));
 }

 console.log(obk(obj, "title2"))

A: You can use array map:

var obj = {}

obj["post1"] = {
    "title":    "title1",
    "subtitle": "subtitle1"
}

obj["post2"] = {
    "title":    "title2",
    "subtitle": "subtitle2"
}
//console.log(obj);
function obk (obj, val) {
    var result = "";
    Object.keys(obj).map(key => {
        if(obj[key].title === val)
            result = key;
    });
    return result;
}

console.log(obk(obj, "title2"));

Or use array find to optimize searching function:

var obj = {}

obj["post1"] = {
    "title":    "title1",
    "subtitle": "subtitle1"
}

obj["post2"] = {
    "title":    "title2",
    "subtitle": "subtitle2"
}
//console.log(obj);
function obk (obj, val) {
    result = Object.keys(obj).find(key => {
        if(obj[key].title === val)
            return key;
    });
    return result;
}

console.log(obk(obj, "title1"));

A: You pretty much have it, just add obj[key].title === val as mentioned by Chris G.
Here's an ES6 one liner that returns an array of all matches.

var obj = {}

obj["post1"] = {
    "title":    "title1",
    "subtitle": "subtitle1"
}

obj["post2"] = {
    "title":    "title2",
    "subtitle": "subtitle2"
}

const filterByTitle = (obj, title) =>
  Object.values(obj).filter(o => o.title === title);

console.log(filterByTitle(obj, 'title1'))

It was our first visit to St Simon's island and was a wonderful experience. The property description was accurate, indeed, it exceeded our expectations in terms of location, layout, amenities. It was just a beautiful, perfectly maintained property and community. When a problem arose with TV/cable/Internet reception, property management came over and spent all the time required, including communicating with the service provider, until service was restored. I would highly recommend this property and property management service to a friend or relative. I have already recommended St Simon's Island to a couple (who would not need such a large property). While there, we took advantage of the wonderful amenities and did lots of cooking, but also visited a restaurant, the beach, ice cream shop, and went bike-riding. My kids said it was their best experience of the summer.
Loved IT! Drove up to the house and family members had already arrived, I thought this is a dream and when I walked in...OMG. Everyone could not stop saying how beautiful it was. Close to all, a spectacular beach, even went to visit Jekyll Island. Can not say enough about how lovely everything was. Would absolutely recommend it for the comforts and the entire experience!
We came down for a friends son's wedding. We had 4 couples. The sleeping arrangements were perfect. The location was great - we walked everywhere. Very close to village for shopping, eating, pier and light house. Short drive to the beach. House was very clean, very nicely decorated and was well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful stay.
The house was incredibly spacious, well appointed and very walk-able to the village. This was an outstanding rental house for 4 couples and we didn't even use the 5th bedroom with 2 single beds!
Great house, fantastic location, we love everything about docs inn. Real escapes is great to work with, we will return again.
We have stayed at Docs Inn for the past 2 years. We attend the IDEAS Conference each year. The location and amount of bedrooms and space makes it an ideal location for us. The rental process is easy and we were able to rent this location again for next year.
We had a great time and enjoyed plenty of time on the huge porch. Beautiful home with plenty of room for everybody.
Doc's Inn was absolutely perfect for our family get together. It was so gorgeous, amazing location, and had everything we needed! Sitting with a cup of coffee on the front porch swing was a wonderful way to start the day. I highly recommend staying in this beautiful house!!!
This was our 3rd trip to this property in Doc Inn, and it was fabulous. The house we stayed in was perfect for our needs, and the staff at Real Escapes is very professional and super friendly.
Great Inn and Great Location!
Doc's Inn - a charming place to stay in St. Simon's Island!
We had 9 high school friends on our visit and Doc's Inn was such a wonderful place to stay. The lovely, charming home had everything that we needed! The property description & photos were great in helping us plan sleeping arrangements, etc. In fact, we thought that the property was "above and beyond" our expectations - we really loved sitting out on the front porch in the evenings! The decorations were precious and the beds were all very comfortable. The management company could not have been more every way! Our daily agenda included lots of shopping, drinking wine, and dining out at great restaurants (twice daily - no cooking, except breakfast for this bunch)! Some of our favorite restaurants included: Georgia Sea Grill, Crab Daddy's, Crab Trap, & Gnat's Landing- all not expensive, but delicious seafood! Doc's Inn was conveniently located to almost everything on the island! Just loved our trip!
This is the Perfect house, beautifully decorated, clean, well maintained. We Love everything about the island , the house , the neighborhood; couldn't be better.
Love st Simon, 23rd yr vacationing on this island. We love this island. Our daughter got engaged on the beach this year. We love the house,docs inn. 2nd year in this location. Couldn't be happier. This house feels like home. Great location, love the porch, and plan to be back next year!!!!
The house was in a great location for village, pier, and lighthouse. And also for getting on bike\running path and convenient to Winn Dixie for groceries. Kitchen was well-stocked. Wish the grill had been gas instead of charcoal. But the house was great. We did a kayak excursion thru marsh and over to Sea Island that was great. Highly recommend CJ's pizza and Crab Daddies. Do not recommend Blackwater Grill.
was a great experience in a clean like-new house. nice neighborhood and walking distance from some restaurants.
We highly recommend this lovely property. The owner and rental company were professional and ensured that we had everything we needed during our stay. Doc's Inn is a beautiful home located within the Village Oaks community, easy walking distance to dining and shopping. The decor makes you feel like it's your home away from home. During our stay, we experienced an unforeseen circumstance, but Bonnie and the rental company handled it immediately and professionally. Five stars! We will definitely be coming back.
Fantastic location. Close to everything at the village. Beautiful house and neighborhood. Beautiful and very new inside and out. Love this place!

RIB MOUNTAIN - Although there has been very little natural snow so far, Rib Mountain is turning into a winter wonderland as machines throw snow across the ski slopes.
Granite Peak Ski Area is preparing their slopes for its limited opening, which is now set for Saturday.
Because conditions weren't quite right, the ski area was unable to open by Thanksgiving, as it has in past years.
"The weather warmed up, and we weren't able to make enough snow," said manager Vicki Baumann. "We made every attempt."

The ski area originally was slated to open for the season on Nov. 19, but that was before unseasonably warm temperatures hit the area last week. Baumann said that snow production started over the weekend as temperatures began to fall, but it just wasn't enough to open by the second opening date, Thanksgiving Day.
But now that warm weather has subsided, the ski area has had enough time to create enough snow to open one run this weekend.
Granite Peak Ski Area Open
The Granite Peak Ski Area in Rib Mountain opened on Saturday, November 15, 2014, coincidentally, the same day the latest Warren Miller ski film was shown at the Grand Theater in Wausau. Dan Young/Daily Herald Media
"There have been other years where we've opened in early December, but not many," Baumann said. "Our crew is working very hard to make sure it's ready."
Those who work at Granite Peak were hoping for a Thanksgiving weekend full of natural snow, and Baumann said that so far, it looks like temperatures will remain low enough for snow to stay frozen.
Baumann remains hopeful for the season. Granite Peak opening weekend is now set for 3 to 9 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
After opening weekend, the hill will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 3 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 4. The ski hill will be open 3 to 8 p.m. Dec. 5 through 8, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Dec. 9 and 10 and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Dec. 11.
The regular season starts on Dec. 12, and the ski hill will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays.

Information on Boa Vista Island
About Boa Vista
Info on-Boavista Island
A number of ships have sunk off the island of Boavista.
The town of Sal Rei is the capital of the island and a 10 minute drive from the airport.
There are a number of international flights that now bring tourists to the island.
The nearest hotel to the airport is the Riu Karamboa.
Info on: Boavista Island
The island was discovered in 1460 and was originally known as Saint Cristovao. Nothing much happened on the island until English sailors came across the high quality salt in the first quarter of the 1600's. Towards the end of the 1600's and beginning of the 1700's, English sailors went on to pillage the island. A fort was built in the early 1800's after further pillages.
The island has seen some difficult times including grasshopper infestation, famine and drought over the last 100yrs or so.
There are 55km of white beaches on Boa Vista. Even though it is the third largest island in the archipelago, the population is sparse, the result of the difficulties the island has had to deal with over the years. Like Sal and Maio the island is very flat with the highest peak being 390m. The date palms in the centre areas of the island provide some trade for the locals and fishing the other.
TACV provide regular inter island flights to the island from Sal, Santiago and Sao Vicente. The airport has been extended to facilitate international flights.
Transportation from the airport to other parts of the island is provided through Alugers, or Alugers used as chartered taxi's which are much more expensive. If on a tour of the island it is essential to use a 4x4 vehicle. If hiring a vehicle it may be wise to consider hiring a driver who can take you to the places you may not find on your own. The island is 620km2 but there isn't much to see other than a few small churches, some villages, a few craft and souvenir shops and a lot of open space. You may also come across remains of a forest and reforestation.
A number of ships have met their end on the reefs that surround Boa Vista. These included a ship that carried £3million in gold and silver, another which was carrying emigrants to South America and more recently in the 1960's a ship transporting cars, food and drink.
Sal Rei
The town of Sal Rei is the capital of the island and a 10 minute drive from the airport. There are bars and some restaurants around the square and a few offices, Loja Chinese and some African shops. The Catholic Church is at the far end of the square, There are a few accommodation type buildings including Paz Bem and other pensions as well as another hotel.
Identified for some major development as regards resorts which will change the island. Beautiful beaches that you have to see while still unspoilt in Santa Monica and Lacacao beach which already has one large hotel along the coast line.
Vila Cabral
A number of resorts already built along Cabral Beach, at the far end you will find the 'Marina' resort.
Trips to inner parts of the island to see the dunes and those on boats to look for dolphins, turtles and whales as some of the attractions.
Trip Preparation
Climate and Clothing
Winter - at least one long trousers and a jumper

Report: Austrian ex-chancellor Kurz to quit politics
Austrian media report ex-chancellor Sebastian Kurz considering leaving politics a month after stepping down as leader amid corruption allegations
ThroughThe Associated Press
BERLIN – Austrian media report that the country's former chancellor Sebastian Kurz is considering leaving politics a month after stepping down as leader amid corruption allegations.
The Viennese daily Krone reported on Thursday that Interior Minister Karl Nehammer could replace Kurz as head of the conservative Austrian People's Party.
He quoted people close to Kurz as saying that the 35-year-old made the decision to quit politics after the recent birth of his first child.
Kurz resigned as chancellor last month after Austrian prosecutors announced he was one of the targets of an investigation into suspicions of corruption and breach of trust. Kurz's junior coalition partners, the Greens, had asked for his replacement.
He was replaced as Chancellor by Alexander Schallenberg, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Kurz, who denies any wrongdoing, and his close associates are accused of trying to secure his ascension to the leadership of his party and the country through manipulated polls and friendly reporting funded by public funds. Kurz became the leader of his Austrian People's Party, then Chancellor in 2017.

It was refreshing to meet taiko players from various taiko groups from different parts of Germany and also Belgium! The taiko community are very different in Germany compared to the rest of Europe and also to the North American taiko community. Having the opportunity to teach my workshops to taiko players from different background and exposure really deepens and broaden the structure and purpose of my taiko workshops. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to be back and working with them again!
Silke Hanzen was the one who organized the workshops and presented me to the German taiko community. Again thanks to the Women and Taiko Summer Taiko Institute and the stay-connect call, that is where Silke and I connected and talked about the possibility to collaborate. Silke has been actively organizing various taiko events to bring taiko players from across Germany and the larger European taiko community together. She is amazing!
Me and Silke chilling by the river – fighting jet lag!

These data come from the Current Population Survey (CPS), also known as the household survey.
Civilian Labor Force includes all persons in the civilian noninstitutional population ages 16 and older classified as either employed or unemployed.
Employed persons are all persons who, during the reference week (the week including the 12th day of the month), (a) did any work as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of their family, or (b) were not working but who had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job.
Unemployed persons are all persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4 week-period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
The unemployment rate is the unemployed percent of the civilian labor force [100 times (unemployed/civilian labor force)].

LHC sees hint of lightweight Higgs boson
Technology 13 December 2011
By Lisa Grossman
Results from the search for the Higgs boson are coming crashing in
(Image: Thomas McCauley, Lucas Taylor/CERN)
Read more: "What is the Higgs boson and why does it matter?"
The ultra-shy Higgs boson may have finally shown itself at the LHC. Both of the main detectors, ATLAS and CMS, have uncovered hints of a lightweight Higgs. If it pans out, the only remaining hole in the standard model would be filled.
Even more exciting, a Higgs of this mass, about 125 gigaelectronvolts, would also blast a path to uncharted terrain. Such a featherweight would need at least one new type of particle to stabilise it. "It's very exciting," says CMS spokesman Guido Tonelli. "This could be the first ring in a chain of discoveries."
As the leading theory for how particles and forces interact, the standard model has been spectacularly successful since it was proposed in the 1960s. But it works only on the assumption that the Higgs boson actually exists. The particle is the calling card of an unseen entity called the Higgs field, which is thought to give all particles their mass. The trouble is the standard model cannot predict what the Higgs itself weighs.
So physicists have been hunting for the simplest version of the Higgs at various particle colliders for years. Experiments have steadily ruled it out at a range of masses, except for a narrow window between 115 and 141 GeV.
Now physicists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, near Geneva in Switzerland, have probed that range in more detail than ever before. Today, Tonelli and Fabiola Gianotti, head of the ATLAS detector, separately presented results from more than 300 trillion high-speed particle collisions made in the last year. "This is the first time we're really exploring the entire [mass] region with the right sensitivity – the one that will allow you, if there is something there, to start seeing something," says Tonelli.
Similar mass
The ATLAS data restricts the Higgs to within 115 and 131 GeV; CMS rules out a Higgs heavier than 127 GeV.
Most excitingly, ATLAS saw a tantalising hint of the Higgs at 126 GeV; CMS saw one at 124 GeV. It is the first time both experiments have seen a signal at nearly the same mass. "We're very competitive, but once I see they're coming with results, I'm happy," Tonelli says. "Their results are important for us. They're obtained in a completely independent manner."
The Higgs is expected to appear fleetingly in the wreckage of high-speed proton collisions at the LHC, but cannot be seen directly. Instead physicists look for the shower of lighter particles and photons that result from the decay of Higgs bosons of various masses. Because garden-variety particles also produce the same decay products, Higgs hunters look out for suspicious excesses of these products in their detectors.
Tentative signal
Although both teams see an excess around the same mass, there is not yet enough data to claim a discovery. The ATLAS signal has a statistical significance at 126 GeV of 2.3 sigma, meaning that the result has around a 2 per cent chance of being down to a random fluctuation; the comparable excess at CMS has a significance of just 1.9 sigma. To claim a discovery you need a 5 sigma signal, meaning there is less than 1 in a million chance of the result being a fluke. "There's clearly not enough to conclude anything at this stage," Gianotti says. "It could be something interesting, or just a fluctuation."
Even a hint of a 125-GeV Higgs has some theorists sighing with relief. Although the standard model can't predict the particle's mass directly, it does predict how other particles interact with the Higgs – in particular, the W and Z bosons that are responsible for the weak nuclear force.
Earlier experiments found that the W and Z bosons weigh 80.4 and 91.2 GeV, respectively. Because of the way those particles interact, the Higgs mass probably comes out somewhere between about 115 and 130 GeV. A Higgs at 125 GeV or so "is just what the doctor ordered," says Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
New physics
That mass also paves the way for physics beyond the standard model. Thanks to subtle quantum mechanical effects, a lightweight Higgs needs a heavier companion particle "acting as a sort of bodyguard", Tonelli says. Otherwise, the quantum vacuum from which particles appear would be unstable, and the universe would long ago have disintegrated. If the Higgs is lightweight, the fact that we are here today suggests there is at least one extra particle beyond the standard model.
Wilczek thinks that's great news. It leaves the door open for one of the most mathematically beautiful extensions of the standard model. Supersymmetry or SUSY for short, suggests that every known particle has an as yet-undetected partner and promises to resolve a lot of the standard model's shortcomings. It can unite the strong and weak nuclear forces with the electromagnetic force and offers a candidate for dark matter.
The simplest version of the theory predicts that its extra partner particles should already be showing up at the LHC – and they're not. If the Higgs really weighs about 125 GeV, it could give the ailing theory new life. "In some sense SUSY will receive some oxygen," Tonelli says. "Maybe not the most trivial and popular models, but there will be a revival of interest in it. SUSY will still be an important area of research for LHC experiments next year."
In the meantime, ATLAS and CMS physicists will be crunching more data to find out if the hints of a lightweight Higgs hold up. Rigorously combining the two current data sets would effectively double the statistics; Tonelli suspects it would firm up the statistical significance to between 3.7 and 3.9 sigma, or a 1 in 10,000 chance of the result being a fluke.
Assuming the collider keeps working well, both experiments should have enough data to confirm or deny the simplest version of the Higgs by the end of 2012. By then, physicists might look back on this moment as their first glimpse of a major discovery. "This is why there is some excitement," says Tonneli.
It would also be thrilling if the Higgs never showed up at all. If the current hints disappear, physicists will wait until the LHC revs up to its full energy in 2015 to look for other particles or phenomena that could give particles mass without any need for the Higgs. "There must be something else that plays that role," Gianotti says. "We will be after that something else."

When you are writing on your scholarship essay there are many distractions around you, each of which can lead to procrastination. If you are at home trying to read, you might procrastinate by cleaning, cooking, or watching television. No matter the source of your procrastination, it will keep you one step behind were you need to be.
Procrastination happens when to avoid completing a task at hand which needs to be finished. If you do not pay attention your procrastination can leave you with feelings of inadequacy, depression, or guilt. If you let procrastination get the best of you then you might begin to doubt yourself and your academic abilities. This can be truly detrimental when you are trying to write a scholarship essay that highlights your abilities.
In order to write a better scholarship essay you need to focus on one main idea per paragraph. Don't try and cram everything into the same paragraph as this will only leave the reader lost and confused. Instead place one key idea per paragraph and only write one paragraph at a time. As you do this look for signs of procrastination to stop this before it happens. You might say "I work better with a tight deadline" or "It can wait until tomorrow" or even, "just one more show and then I will start". If you have ever said even one of those then you have faced procrastination.
Procrastination is the result of poor time management. If you have priorities, goals, and objectives you want to meet during a busy work week but if you allow deadlines to overwhelm you then you may miss them completely. When you stress about something it can quickly consume you and therefore you attempt to alleviate your stress through other means such as social activities in lieu of finishing your priorities. However you should avoid putting off your work as it leads to an unhealthy time management schedule which exacerbates any existing stress.
If you are sitting at your computer with a social network page open you may begin to work or think to yourself that you are "multi-tasking" but in reality you end up spending an hour or two before you know it looking at photos, daydreaming, or chatting with friends. If your environment is very noisy you can easily become distracted.
If you let your fear get the most of you it could interfere with your ability to work and focus on a single paragraph at a time. Instead of doing this take the time to ignore the interferences and turn off your cell phone or chat windows. Sit down and focus on one paragraph at a time. Take a break in between each one for a few minutes in order to boost your creativity. Once you return you will find that focusing on one trait or item per paragraph really keeps the essay flowing and easy to follow.

Filed under art on September 01, 2016.
On Friday, August 26th, 2016 I had the opportunity to attend the EDWARD TUFTE: PRESENTING DATA AND INFORMATION one-day seminar at the Westin in Chicago, Illinois. I generated a sketchnote during the session as I will describe below.
I was excited to create a sketchnote for this session given that the presentation involves the display of data and information. My sketchnote would need a full open spread and I chose to rotate my Rhodia notebook 90º. I came prepared with my Staedtler Triplus Fineliners to highlight.
My first intent was to use four or five colors; however, I knew my plans were in trouble when the session started with the lights completely turned off. The glow of a single light shined on Tufte's podium. It would be another 20 minutes before the house lights were raised and I could begin my notes. Unfortunately, I missed the capture of several key points. Later that morning, I chose to use a single color, yellow, rather than four or five.
Overall, I am pleased with my sketchnote. I'm still getting the hang of the process and the choice of ideas to capture. My latest decision is to only capture notes that really "speak to me" and provide an interesting visual to allow for recall after the session.
As for the session; it is recommended. It's a bit pricey, but you receive some really good information. You also walk home with four great books to remind and reinforce concepts.
As of this writing, the tweet below of this sketchnote was my most popular. It even came with some kind comments and, for me, numerous retweets.
This sketchnote is dedicated to the two colleagues from the Community Education Coalition that traveled with me to attend this session: Jack Hess and Amber Fischvogt. It was great to get to know the two of them better during our lunch and evening dinners in Chicago.

MOVIE REVIEW: 'La La Land'
By: Phil Villarreal

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling in "La La Land."

"La La Land" starts off with the flash mob that makes all previous flash mobs look like practice. Drivers stuck on an L.A. freeway get out of their cars to dance, twirl and sing on hoods and roofs, and the camera stretches back to reveal the same thing is going on for miles.
The show-stopping beginning is so good that you just know that, while there is no way the movie can possibly maintain that momentum, if what follows is even one tenth as good then you are in for something special. The movie from that point out is about half as good. Meaning it is relentlessly stunning and possibly life-altering.
There are several more song-and-dance numbers that follow and are nearly as breathlessly creative. They're interspersed with a charming but rather standard coming-of-age love story that is lifted to the highest heights by thrilling choreography and passionate performances by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
They play young up-and-coming entertainers struggling for a sense of relevance and fulfillment amid a cold, indifferent machine that will happily run them over. The movie is a love letter to the magic of the setting, as well as those bold, brave pioneers who give up their other lives to chase their dreams amid the sun-soaked dystopia. The overall point, of course, is that it's the very chase of glory itself that grants the artistic life meaning.
"La La Land" is one of those too-rare cinematic treasures that comes along once every five years or so. That the movie is almost certain to win the best picture Oscar is a given, but its real impact will come as the years pass. The movie belongs in the pantheon of great musicals such as "Singin' in the Rain," "Mary Poppins" and "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
My heart aches for anyone who loves movies and won't get to see it. This is a bold and beautiful film that is best seen while knowing as little as possible about it, on as massive a screen as you can find. It will still be amazing on a screen as small as that of an iPhone 5, but in a movie theater, with the communal glow surrounding you, you will feel like you're falling into the movie.
Director Damien Chazelle, who won great acclaim with "Whiplash," somehow steps his game up even higher. At this rate, his next movie will cure cancer and make the Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl.
Of course, just like the movie can't possibly maintain the shimmering radiance of the opening sequence -- it's a matter of time until people pirate it and start spreading it across the internet in a viral brush fire -- there is pretty much no possible way Chazelle will ever make another movie nearly this good. "Whiplash" -- a fantastic movie by any standard -- is nowhere near as good, so the best anyone can reasonably expect of him is to make more movies as awesome as that one. This is it: The highest height that he or most any living filmmaker not named Martin Scorsese will see.
Sorry, pal. It's all downhill from here. But wow, what a view.
RATING: 4 stars out of 4.

Croydon, A. and Pimperton, H. and Ewing, Louise and Duchaine, B.C. and Pellicano, E. (2014) The Cambridge face memory test for children (CFMT-C): a new tool for measuring face recognition skills in childhood. Neuropsychologia 62 , pp. 60-67. ISSN 0028-3932.
Face recognition ability follows a lengthy developmental course, not reaching maturity until well into adulthood. Valid and reliable assessments of face recognition memory ability are necessary to examine patterns of ability and disability in face processing, yet there is a dearth of such assessments for children. We modified a well-known test of face memory in adults, the Cambridge Face Memory Test (Duchaine & Nakayama, 2006), to make it developmentally appropriate for children. To establish its utility, we administered either the upright or inverted versions of the computerised Cambridge Face Memory Test–Children (CFMT-C) to 401 children aged between 5 and 12 years. Our results show that the CFMT-C is sufficiently sensitive to demonstrate age-related gains in the recognition of unfamiliar upright and inverted faces, does not suffer from ceiling or floor effects, generates robust inversion effects, and is capable of detecting difficulties in face memory in children diagnosed with autism. Together, these findings indicate that the CFMT-C constitutes a new valid assessment tool for children's face recognition skills.


Betta fish are easy to care for, but they have some special tank requirements due to their behaviors. They are colorful fish, both fierce and fragile, and require a unique set of conditions in which to thrive.
If you've just brought your new Betta home you probably have a lot of questions. This article can help you figure it all out, and give you the information you need to provide your new pet with a healthy environment where he will be happy for many years.
Even though the tiny cups they come in at the pet store might suggest otherwise, Bettas are not disposable pets. They require the same care and respect as any animal. Are you up task?
I really wanted to make this article a comprehensive guide to caring for Betta fish. However, I have a lot say on the subject, and I didn't want it to be so long that you'd be snoring before you got to the end. So, I've broken out some of the more important points into separate topics you may find useful, or may want to come back to later.
If you are new to Betta keeping, or if you just want to learn more about this wonderful tropical fish, you can find in-depth answers to many of your questions in the articles below. If you don't see your question addressed here, scroll down and you'll find many more facts about Betta fish and their behaviors.
After all of that, if you still can't find the answers to your Betta questions feel free to ask in the comments section below! I do respond ASAP to all legitimate questions, but be patient and give it a day or two.
Didn't find the answer you needed above? Here are more frequently-asked questions on Betta fish care and behavior.
Why are there bubbles at the surface of the water?
It's a mating thing, but in this case it means you have a happy Betta. Male Bettas build bubble nests, especially when they are content.
Bettas need some kind of decoration or structure they can swim into when they need to feel safe. If that isn't provided, and he feels he needs it, you may find him tucked into a corner. Always provide a place for him to escape to.
Why is my Betta resting on a plant leaf?
This is normal Betta behavior, and as long as he appears otherwise healthy it is no concern. He's just lazing around.
Why is he restlessly swimming up and down the sides of the tank?
This is called glass surfing and it's usually a sign that a fish in unhappy in its environment. It could be because of poor water conditions, or it could be because the tank is too small.
A one-gallon bowl is the bare minimum you'll need for your Betta, but still awfully small. Bigger is better. Like any tropical fish, Bettas need to swim around and have a little space to be happy and healthy. One word of caution: Bettas do not like fast currents, so if the filtration in the tank is pushing him around it could be causing him stress.
