The primary power input for the board will be +5V from the USB connector. This will need to be regulated down to +3.3V for all the circuitry on the board. In the case where the flash memory is populated on this board and it is connected to provide the image to the target FPGA, it should not be necessary to connect the USB cable and the board will draw power from the target board through the PMOD or UEXT connector. To enable two different power sources, a diode is placed in-line with the USB power input and a Pch MOSFET is connected in-line with the PMOD/UEXT power pins. The gate of the MOSFET is connected to a voltage divider from the USB power input so that the MOSFET is off when USB power is present, and enabled when only the PMOD/UEXT power is present. The gate is also tied to PA28 on the MCU so that the controller can detect when USB power is present, and so that it can also override the signal to deliver power from USB to the PMOD or UEXT connectors for additional flexibility.

Oh, What a Pervert! Biden Creepily Claims 7 Year Old George Floyd Daughter Wanted to Sit on His Lap
On Tuesday, Joe Biden met with the family of George Floyd on the one year anniversary of his death. During a discussion with the media, Biden was asked about his relationship with George Floyd's 7-year-old daughter, Gianna Floyd. "[Gianna] threw her arms around me, gave me a big hug and wanted to sit on my lap," he said.
What a bizarre claim to make. Even if this is true, why would Biden even tell people that? It's not worth sharing and it's only designed to make him look good. From where we are sitting, he comes across as a bit of a pervert but he's so blissfully unaware of this.
"My wife would kill me — we gave her some ice cream, she had some Cheetos, and I think she had some chocolate milk," he continued. In addition to bragging about wanting a child to sit on his lap, he's also boasting about pumping her full of sugar and sodium. This is what we are in for now that the social distancing protocols have been relaxed.
Biden is not going to be done there. He will be back to sniffing hair and making women uncomfortable again in no time. These are some of the bizarre events that unfolded, as the White House tried their best to make sure that everyone knew how woke they are about these things.
PRES. BIDEN: George Floyd's daughter Gianna "threw her arms around me, gave me a big hug — and wanted to sit in my lap."

It's hard not to chuckle at some of these things but it also makes us wonder what the rest of the world is thinking about when they watch all of this madness unfold. There's no way that they can respect what they see and that is easy to understand.
Our nation's respectability went out the window when the election was stolen from Trump and this deviant was allowed to sit in the big seat. Biden's got no filter anymore because his mental decline has robbed him of his ability to know what needs to be said and what does not.
We have been passing along all of the clips that show off his dementia lately and Harris better start preparing for the inevitable now. The chances of him making it to the end of this term are slim to none. All he can do now is continue to overcompensate for all of the racism that he was involved in during the past.
Biden has a lot of nerve talking like he is a friend to the African-American community when he is someone who voted in favor of segregation. However, one of his most vocal opponents was Kamala Harris and she caved in as soon as she realized she would have a shot at being the head honcho once Biden finally decides to tap out.
Perhaps he likes the humiliation, though. He's already held up his end of the bargain. He was the name value guy who allowed the Democrats to start the steal. Maybe it is time for him to step aside and let Harris become the new punching bag.
We're paraphrasing Lethal Weapon here but Biden really is getting too old for this stuff. We can't imagine him wanting to suffer through all of this for much longer when he could be home napping. Instead, he is having to field questions about his unruly dogs and it is not like any man in his age bracket wants to deal with that. The White House can only run interference for him but for so long.
Psaki and Harris do their best to shield him but there's only so much that they can do. How can they help someone who is this committed to sticking his foot in his mouth at every turn? He can't even handle the simplest media engagements because they fluster him. This should have been a quick photo op that even he couldn't botch but from the looks of it, there's absolutely no task that he cannot manage to mangle.

Bathed in pure Atlantic light, crowned by the storybook St. George's Castle and straddling seven hills, Lisbon is one of Europe's most visually striking capitals. Looks aside, the city will surely win you over with its genuine friendliness and blissfully laid-back pace. At once nostalgic and progressive, Lisbon's charm shines through in everyday life -- listening to the mournful fado songs in the Moorish Alfama's alleys, indulging in custard tarts in gilded Art Nouveau patisseries and living it up at a Bairro Alto street party.
Nothing says Lisbon like a ride on century-old tram 28, which trundles past stately plazas, Estrela Basilica's graceful dome and the Romanesque Sé Cathedral. Jump off at hilltop St George's Castle for a rampart stroll and views reaching to the Tagus River. Just steps away, the Moorish Alfama quarter's mazy lanes are full of laundry billowing, neighbors gossiping and melancholic fado songs. Down by the river, Jerónimos Monastery's fantastically ornate Manueline cloisters whisk you back to Portugal's Age of Discovery.
Kid leather gloves, tawny port, tinned fish -- you'll find it all in the specialty stores lining Pombaline Baixa, Rossio and Chiado. Compare purchases over a bica (espresso) on the terrace of Art Deco A Brasileira café. Young Lisboetas combine bar crawling with late-night shopping in the Bairro Alto, where boutiques stock vintage fashion and the sassy collections of Portuguese style icons Lena Aires and Fátima Lopes. Avenida da Liberdade is Lisbon's catwalk of big-name designers.
Join locals for sunset shots of ginjinha (cherry liqueur) on the cobbles in front of hole-in-the-wall A Ginjinha, going strong since the 1840s. Lisbon's unrivalled hotspot is the bar-lined Bairro Alto, where revelers hit the street to chat, drink and dance before heading to riverside mega club Lux. The mood is more relaxed in the lantern-lit Alfama, where fado songs recalling lost love and destiny fill the atmospheric vaults of Clube de Fado.
Arrive before the crowds at the famous Antiga Confeitaria de Belém to devour crisp, cinnamon-dusted custard tarts hot from the oven. Lisboetas make the most of warm nights by dining alfresco on fresh fish in the Alfama's lantern-lit lanes and world flavors on pavement terraces in the buzzy Bairro Alto. The ornately tiled monastery-turned-beer hall Cervejaria da Trindade pairs cold beers with local specialties like bacalhau com natas (cod with cream). Go north of the city center to the stylish Michelin-starred restaurant Eleven.


Why Do Some People Like Waiting In Line To Pick Up Their Kids?
Recently we asked you if you liked waiting in line for your kids to get out of school. Many of you probably think that's a stupid question, but it turns out there are some people that really enjoy that chunk of the day when they have to wait almost an hour to pick their kids up.
We're not sure if you can see all the comments, and a few people used explicit language in their extreme protest against the wait. I guess it depends on your car, because if your AC isn't working properly, this Texas heat can be a killer.
What's funny is, the people that hated the wait, pretty much all gave a reason. The folks that DID say they enjoyed the wait only said just that ... "Yes, I do like it."
Kinda weird right? Nobody followed up with what they were doing in that time. I'm going to assume they're reading books or playing on Facebook, but one thing is for sure. We are definitely divided on this particular issue.
Anyway, if you didn't answer the question when it first popped up, here's your chance to tip the scales. Leave a comment on whether or not you like the wait or hate the wait.

Longer life expectancy – Living longer means that you'll have more years to draw down on retirement savings.
Change in Social Security retirement age – With 'full retirement age' age moving from 65 to 67, benefits effectively reduce at any given claiming age. In addition, the annual inflation raise for Social Security doesn't keep pace with cost of living.
Increase in out-of-pocket health care costs – Retirees are hit with a double-whammy: rising costs of healthcare and fewer workers with employer-sponsored retiree health benefits to supplement Medicare. Therefore, seniors have to use a higher percentage of income on medical expenses at a time of life when medical expenses typically accelerate.
Chronically low interest rates – Suppressed interest rates keep income from fixed investment vehicles at a minimum.
Given the obstacles above, it's getting tougher to avoid a savings shortfall in retirement. Besides working longer, what can you do to make your money go farther? One thing you can do is focus on staying as healthy as possible. Another tactic is to kick into a higher gear of saving when kids leave home. Many people see reduction in expenses as a raise in living standard. But spending less, and making trade-offs now will avert tougher decisions later.
Talk with a Salmon Sims Thomas tax advisor about ways that you can save money and save on taxes.


Hey gang. I hope your week is off to an excellent start. Blake, my fit friend from binanutshell.com has officially completed Week 2 of my September Shape up plan. Are you trying the plan for yourself? Do it!
Overall, I am saddened by my progress in week 2. I was really excited to keep up with Brit's Shape Up September, but I wasn't able to due to health reasons. I am just going to be upfront and say that even knowing that there are 2 weeks left in the month, week 2 was definitely the most difficult. Early in the week, I was plagued with a summer cold that left me lethargic, sneezy and coughing – which of course resulted in my not working out.
Also, I have an inordinate amount going on in my personal life – some really great things that I am not quite yet ready to share on the blog, but stay tuned for a personal life update soon!
I managed to get two nights with smoothies in, one night without dinner at all, one business dinner, and two dinners out with friends. Unfortunately, most of those events were planned way before Shape Up September, so I worked around the dinners out by eating really healthy breakfasts and having a smoothie for lunch! Smoothies for the win!
Monday: Brit's GRIT Ultimate Body Burn workout video – seriously folks, if you don't own this video, you should. Buy it on Amazon!
Still focusing on having a full glass of water on my desk at all times. Hooray for this. Also, I think the water was really helpful from keeping me on the healthier side of sick… since the hubs was knocked out for twice as long as I was.
This week's focus is definitely going to be CARDIO! I am excited to get back to working out now that I don't feel like walking up the three flights of stairs to my bedroom is going to make me winded.

A banking and financial contract (e.B a loan agreement) is subject to the law of the country in which the bank has its registered office, 12.1The law and jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without its conflict of laws provisions. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purposes of any action, action, or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement. Each party agrees to bring any such action, action, or proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if such action, action, or other proceeding cannot be brought in such court for jurisdiction, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. Each party further agrees that the service of any proceeding, subpoena, notice or document by a nationally recognized night courier service (requested receipt) at the respective addresses of those parties specified in section 12.2 shall constitute effective service of the proceedings for all claims, actions or proceedings in New York with respect to any matter by which it has submitted to the jurisdiction in this Section 12.1. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the transfer of venue of any action, action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to invoke or assert itself in such court: that such suit or proceeding filed in such court has been filed in an uncomfortable forum. (c) Applicable law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and resolved exclusively and exclusively in the state court located in Delaware. If a legal action is brought under this Agreement, the prevailing party in that action shall have the right, in addition to court costs, to recover such amount as the court may determine to be reasonable attorneys` fees. 15.4 Applicable law and jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [***] without its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) shall not apply to the interpretation of this Treaty.
In Halpern -v- Halpern6, there was no explicit choice of law, but one of the parties argued that the agreement was subject to Jewish law. The Court of Appeal rejected this argument: the law of a country was needed. If the parties want their relationship to be governed by a law other than the law of a country, they should include arrangements for arbitration. In particular, article 46 of the Arbitration Act expressly recognizes that arbitral tribunals may and shall settle disputes in accordance with the law chosen by the parties" or, if the parties so agree, in accordance with other considerations agreed upon by them or determined by the courts". Applicable law. This Agreement and any claim or cause of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) arising out of, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, performance or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based on any representation or warranty arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), are subject to and enforced in accordance with the national law of the State [ ], including its limitation periods. e) The law applicable to a contract in accordance with this principle applies in particular: 11.8 Applicable law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the national laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any law that may otherwise apply under applicable conflict of laws principles, except that the following matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and regulated and in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, in respect of which the Parties irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands: (i) the Meten merger; (ii) the acquisition of the activities, property and liabilities of the Corporation from the surviving Cayman Islands Corporation; (iii) the conversion of the Common Shares of the Corporation; and (iv) the internal affairs of the Company and Holdco. 44.3. Applicable law and jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of China, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws rules. Any dispute, question or difference of any kind arising at any time at a later date between the parties (including the Company) or their respective representatives or any of them that the parties cannot resolve amicably between them, with respect to or in connection with this Agreement or the validity, the interpretation, meaning, function or effect thereof, or any clause contained therein; or with respect to the rights, obligations or liabilities of the Parties under this Agreement or under this Agreement, shall be definitively governed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce by one (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with such Rules.
The arbitration proceedings will take place in Israel and will be conducted in English. The decision on an arbitral award rendered by the arbitrator may be registered with any court of competent jurisdiction, or an application may be made to that court for judicial acceptance of the award and, where appropriate, for an enforcement order. If the purpose of a choice of law clause is to provide certainty about the applicable law in the event of a subsequent dispute, it is logical that the parties would have wanted the chosen law to cover both tort and contractual claims under the agreement in which that choice of law clause is contained. But this is not how many courts interpret the standard choice of law clause. For example, in Krock v. Lipsay, 97 F.3d 640, 645 (2d Cir. 1996), the court noted: "The evidence before me showed that each of the parties openly insisted that it did not want to accept the jurisdiction or applicable law of the other party and that it could not reach agreement on another applicable jurisdiction or law. Consequently, [the agreement in question] does not contain an applicable law clause or a jurisdiction clause. Moreover, none of the parties wished to confer on the others an advantage with regard to the conclusion of the agreement. If their intention was to create darkness and difficulties for lawyers to debate in the coming years, they did well. "22.3Government law.
This Agreement (and any dispute, controversy, proceeding or claim of any kind arising out of this Agreement or its formation) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, with the exception of matters relating to the validity of patents decided by the courts having jurisdiction over the patents in question and in accordance with the laws applicable to such patents. SECTION 2.09 Governing Law. This First Additional Act shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws; provided, however, that all matters governing the approval and performance of this First Addendum by the Company and the Guarantor shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia and the Commonwealth of Australia. 3. Applicable law and jurisdiction. This change shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without principles of conflict of laws). For the most part, English, Scottish and Northern Irish laws are very similar. In most disputes, the interpretation of a contract is the same, whether the contract is governed by English or Scottish law. However, this is not always the case. There are significant differences between the two legal systems in some areas, in particular with regard to property rights. The judicial systems of England and Scotland are also very different.
This is why a jurisdiction clause specifying "United Kingdom" or "Great Britain" is so problematic. .

The US Justice Department on Thursday reversed official policy that had tolerated the growing state-based movement to legalize marijuana sales, just three days after California formally permitted recreational use of the drug.
Announcing a "return to the rule of law", Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded five key memos issued by the administration of president Barack Obama that discouraged enforcement of federal laws, which still classify marijuana as a dangerous narcotic like heroin.
"It is the mission of the Department of Justice to enforce the laws of the United States, and the previous issuance of guidance undermines the rule of law and the ability of our local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement partners to carry out this mission," Sessions said in a statement.
Sessions did not order a new crackdown on pot sales and use, but told federal prosecutors they could act as they see fit in their districts.
His new guidance directs prosecutors "to use previously established prosecutorial principles that provide them all the necessary tools to disrupt criminal organizations, tackle the growing drug crisis, and thwart violent crime across our country," Sessions said.
Two others, Massachusetts and Maine, have taken steps to permit sales beginning later this year.
A total of 29 states, the capital and several US territories have legalized marijuana for medical use, even though the Federal Drug Administration has resisted approving pot as a medical drug.
Sessions -- who has made fighting drug trafficking a key Justice Department policy since taking office a year ago as part of President Donald Trump's administration -- has been a vocal opponent of liberalizing marijuana laws.
But he hinted in his confirmation hearing in January 2017 that enforcing federal laws against recreational pot users might not be the best use of Justice Department manpower.
During the 2016 election campaign, Trump took a more tolerant stance, saying several times that he would leave the issue up to local authorities.
"When you look at what's happened in Colorado as an example, it's a local thing," he told Boston's WBZ NewsRadio. "I wouldn't interfere with it. I think that's something that really is very much up to the local area."
But since becoming president, he has been mum on the subject, supporting Sessions' tough law-and-order policies.

hit enter twice after you've entered ur text. When you hit enter once, it takes you to the next line as if you have a multi line text. So if you hit enter when it suggests the second line and there is no text, it will validate your text and you should see it somewhere on the tree view.
I would suggest renaming it as "orientation" for where you have put "visualize True North" and where it says , true false. You can say "project north, or True north". I think that makes more sense architecturally.

These Hoodie No -sew Costumes are made from store bought hoodies with foam details glued on.
I drew out the features for the Olaf hoodie onto craft foam . I used a1/4 thick foam. The thinner foams that are available are good for the eyes and nose ,but a thicker foam is needed for the hair ,buttons and arms.
After laying out the hoodie on the floor I measured the length of the arms and cut 1/2 strips to go from the shoulder seam to the cuff seam. the hands were cut the size of the cuffs. The arms and hands were then glued to the hoodie with GOOP adhesive . I buy GOOP at Home Depot in the paint dept.
With the hood folded down flat I glued a one piece tuft of twig hair to the very top and two eyebrows right under the twig hair.
The eyes are two circle of foam that I painted black circles at the center and a rim of black at the edge.
For the nose I cut a foam carrot shape that fits right between the eyes and extends past the edge of the hood. I only glue the top area of the carrot nose .
It is hard to see but there is a large tooth glued to the inside of the front of the hood.
For the buttons I cut 3 foam irregular circles. These were glued to one side only of the front of the hoodie. Before these were glued on I placed plastic over the side of the hoodie that I left unglued.
The Goop sets up pretty quickly. The costume only takes an hour to make, but drying time on the glue should be several hours.
The Toothless Dragon costume is a made from a plain black zip-front hoodie and fleece pants. All the features are from craft foam , wire, duct tape and glue.
The foam pieces are shown in the photo. They should be made cut to sizes that would fit the hood like in the photo of the assembled head. The eyes are layers of foam glued together , the eye details could be painted on instead. After all the pieces for the head are cut out pin them to the head . Readjust until they look just right. Once you are pleased with the look then glue all the pieces in place. Bo fairly generous with the glue, but keep the amount of glue showing to a minimum.
The wings have two layers of foam with a wire taped onto one layer in the middle. After taping the wire in place glue the one layer of wings onto another layer. I chose to only cut out one piece of the wings ,then glued that onto another rectangle of foam. After the glue was set the second layer was r cut easily following the shape of the first layer.
Both the tail and wings have velcro glued to them to allow for easy detachment. The wearer is able to sit easily and the costume is easier to wash.
AS long as GOOP or other waterproof glue is used hese costumes are washable on a delicate cycle. Lay them flat to dry.
My brother and sister would TOTALLY wear those!
does anybody make something like this toothless hoodie?
I've seen "hoodie" cuisines before, but you really made them awesome! Great ideas in using the crafting foam for the features, I seen to always over think everything! Great explanations!!!
Do you think something like hot glue would work well with the details on the hood?
The Toothless one is awesome!
Thanks , everyone. Our 2 year old is fussy and doesn't like to wear costumes, but she really likes these!
great simple idea. I will have to do this for my little ones.
This is a smart idea! Instead of buying those costume hoodies that may be expensive ($50 - $60), you can make your own!
I have to tell you when I click on this and saw the first picture I involuntarily made a high pitch noise of "dawww." I then continued to make it as I saw your awesome child. These costumes are awesome, and even better that they're no sew! You should enter this into our Halloween Costume Contest. Thanks for sharing!
They are adorable and I really like the white dots on the eyes it makes them pop out. what a lucky kid to have custom costumes.

That same yr, Dusty Springfield reached the graphs with White's "Willie and Laura Mae Jones."

Frequently Asked Questions About Osteopenia
HomeAilmentsBody
By Eren, Facty StaffFact CheckedUpdated: Nov 26, 2019
Osteopenia occurs when the body reabsorbs old bone at a faster rate than it makes new bone; essentially, bone development is not sufficient to stop normal bone loss (osteoid lysis). The chronic condition is less severe than osteoporosis, and some people have no symptoms despite having lower bone density than normal. Osteopenia has no cure, but treatment can make it more manageable for those who do develop symptoms.
Causes of Osteopenia
Osteopenia can develop as a result of poor dietary health and a lack of nutrients essential to bone development, such as vitamin C. Smoking, age-related hormonal changes, and particular diseases can also cause the condition, as can certain medications. Women are most at risk for developing the disorder, and it is most prevalent in people over the age of 60, likely due to the changes in bone density that occur as part as the aging process.

One of the methods used to diagnose osteopenia is a bone mineral density or BMD test. The results enable a physician to gauge how well a patient's bones withstand the strain of normal activity without breaking. People with osteopenia have a lower BMD than normal. Physicians usually prescribe exercise, medications, and supplements to increase BMD.

Symptoms of Osteopenia
Unlike osteoporosis, osteopenia doesn't have any significant symptoms. A person can be unaware they have the condition until it progresses. Most people do not experience symptoms at all, unless osteoporosis develops. If this happens, symptoms such as stooped posture, back pain, loss of height, and brittle bones develop.
stockdevil / Getty Images
Aging is the most prevalent risk factor for osteopenia. After bone mass peaks around the age of 35, bone loss becomes more aggressive. Half of Americans over 50 eventually develop osteopenia. Small-boned Asian and Caucasian women and people with a family history of low BMD face the greatest risk. Menopause and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) after menopause can also increase risk.
Doctors treat osteopenia in a variety of ways, but the first step is always ensuring the diagnosis is accurate. The physician will measure bone density and explore existing risk factors before creating a specialized treatment plan. Much of the treatment for osteopenia focuses on increasing bone density, which prevents progression and the development of osteoporosis.

Specialists and Primary Care Providers
Most people with osteopenia are initially treated by their primary care provider. However, once the family physician has diagnosed a condition such as osteopenia, he or she will likely refer the patient to an endocrinologist, a specialist who treats metabolic and hormonal conditions. Other specialists like rheumatologists, internists or geriatricians may also get involved in your treatment.

Food as Treatment
Calcium and vitamin D are essential building blocks for strong bones, and people with osteopenia require a diet rich in these two vitamins. Typically, individuals must consume significant quantities of dairy products and vegetables such as broccoli and leafy greens. Protein also plays an essential role in bone density. Foods such as sardines, tofu, and salmon with bones are rich in both protein and calcium.
happy_lark / Getty Images
Supplements and Medication as Treatment
A physician may prescribe supplements and medication to help increase bone density or prevent bone loss. These are designed to work alone or in conjunction with other treatments to increase bone health.
Exercise as Treatment
In addition to medication, supplements, and dietary changes, most treatment programs for osteopenia require physical activity or therapy. Building muscle is directly linked to increased bone density. Weight-bearing exercises are a good choice, as well as walking, swimming, and elliptical and stair machines. Anyone with osteopenia should speak to a doctor to ensure they are targeting the right areas and not exacerbating the issue.
ljubaphoto / Getty Images
Osteopenia is a mild thinning of the bones and may not progress in severity. However, it predisposes individuals to osteoporosis, which is considerably more severe. The latter condition can lead to bone loss, poor posture, brittle bones, and sometimes bone pain.

I knew that it would not be easy for me to jump in and perform with the Kodo members, because they spend their daily lives together, travel together, and create together. I took part in rehearsals with them on Sado Island in March, and of course the music didn't work perfectly right from the get go. But with time and practice, the taiko and shamisen, both deeply rooted in Japanese culture, began to resonate together naturally and echo in harmony. Of course there are fundamentals that overlap in Japanese instruments in terms of the groove and timing, but I think it was Sado that gave me that certain something… it was the first time in my life I've had that feeling. I'm personally really looking forward to spending many more hours on Sado Island with Kodo, and seeing what will come to life from that experience.
At Earth Celebration, I've also been given the opportunity to hold a lecture. I plan to talk about my activities to date, my feelings about the attraction and possibilities of the Tsugaru Shamisen and Japanese traditional music. I'll also do a short performance during the lecture. I am looking forward to seeing you all this summer on Sado Island.
Our rehearsals with Hiromitsu Agatsuma in March were really rewarding. He joined in on the Kodo pieces that we decided to collaborate on, beginning by matching the tone. Then one after the other different melodies would come forth, like using different paints to make all kinds of new colors, strong ones and subtle ones alike. I greatly admire the work and time he put into this, allowing no compromise, to refine the collaborations on traditional pieces.
Shamisen and taiko were both originally instruments used for accompaniments, but over time they have come into the limelight on stage. Mr. Agatsuma has collaborated with people from various genres, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of music he will create with Kodo. The heart of our activities, exploring the possibilities of Japanese traditional music, is the same, even though we play different instruments. In the great outdoors on the Shiroyama stage, we want to share that energy with you all.
Hiromitsu Agatsuma was born 1973 in Ibaraki, Japan. He began studying the Tsugaru Shamisen when he was just six years old and went on to win one competition after another, earning him high praise in the traditional Japanese music world. Agatsuma continues to explore both tradition and innovation through the Tsugaru Shamisen. His unique approach to the fusion of Japanese traditional instruments with Western music always receives high acclaim, and his collaborative work with global artists include Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, and many others.
On the second day of EC, Hiromitsu Agatsuma will hold a lecture and demonstration. It's a great opportunity to listen to him speak and perform up close.
Music Together is a music and movement experience for children aged 0-6 and their parents or caregivers. It's designed to develop musical ability in all children, young and young at heart! Come and join us for a musically rich activity aimed at the growing number of families at Earth Celebration who bring their kids along. It is our hope that by participating in this workshop you can add a hands-on fun and musical family activity to your experience at Earth Celebration!
Yasuyo Minoura has a wealth of experience as a Music Together (MT) instructor from offering MT workshops for over eight years to children and their parents, mainly in Nagoya. She also pours her passion for making music into drum circles and has been a drum circle facilitator for four years now. This summer, she is looking forward to enjoying "Music Together" with everyone at Earth Celebration.
1,000 yen per child, 500 yen for additional siblings in same age range.
12 children per session, ages 8 months – 6 years. All children must attend with a participating guardian.
At Earth Celebration (EC) 2012 on August 17, the Shiroyama Concert "Opening Night" will kick off the festival with Shogo Yoshii making his debut as artistic director. We asked him about the kind of festival atmosphere he wants to create and share at EC this year.
When I use the word "Island," I'm not necessarily referring to a land mass surrounded by water, but rather the idea of an island, something that has some distance between it and other entities.
This gap arises from both geographic and human factors. Sometimes it can feel like a barrier, but the things cultivated inside this isolated domain have a special individuality, and that fascinates me.
Depending on how you look at it, earth is one island, the five continents are islands, a country is an island, there are politically defined islands, and individuals are all unique islands.
I think the key to EC is to value the unique identity of each of these different "islands," or in plain words, to praise diversity.
In think on this, the word "Glocal" came to mind. Combining "Global" and "Local," it is an interesting word that bring the micro and the macro together; I think suits Kodo really well.
For the festival's "Opening Night," I want to create a performance where the individualities of each performer come to life and allow each of them to enjoy playing in the most natural way, without pretense.
I feel that Earth Celebration will truly begin when we create a diverse "island" in Shiroyama Park and share it among everyone there.
This year at EC we will welcome our main guest artist, shamisen player Hiromitsu Agatsuma, and as well as singer Anna Sato from the Amami Islands who will appear on stage for "Opening Night." Also joining us on Sado to lead taiko workshops are Hiroo Asanuma from Hachijo Island and Akio Tsumura and his sons from Miyake Island's Kamitsuki Mikoshi Taiko. I'm excited just thinking about all these esteemed guests.
I have the great responsibility of taking the reigns for the artistic direction for the first performance at the 25th Earth Celebration. While I am nervous at the thought of this undertaking, I also intend to enjoy this challenge to the fullest.
Shogo Yoshii's idea notebook. He links keywords that come to mind and his vision takes shape.
All seating in Shiroyama Park is general-admission, outdoor seating on the lawn. In order to make things smoother for everyone at the concert entrance, Entrance Order Colour Cards are distributed prior to each concert, and card-holders are admitted to the venue according to the colour on their card.
You must show your ticket or voucher for that day's concert to receive a card.
*We will prepare 1200 Entrance Order Colour Cards and will stop distribution when all cards are gone.
*Before the venue opens, please assemble in numerical order in the appropriate line at the time shown on your Entrance Order Colour Card.
*Entrance Order Colour Cards are not required for entrance, but those without cards will be admitted to the venue last. If you have time during the day to drop by Kisaki Shrine, we recommend picking one up so you are not kept waiting when the gates to the venue open.
*If you arrive at Kisaki Shrine after your assigned assembly time, please come to the Kisaki Shrine Reception Tent and you will be guided into the venue.
Ferries to Sado Island may be cancelled due to high waves. Please check the weather and Sado Kisen Ferry updates before you set off on your travels.
Shiroyama Concerts will be held in the event of light rain. However, if the presenter deems the concert cannot be held safely outdoors, the concert will be canceled.
Shiroyama Park offers free seating directly on the park's lawn. The lawn can get damp from dew or rain so we recommend bringing a ground cloth or plastic sheet to sit on.
Anna Sato, a singer from Amami Oshima, will join Kodo for Kodo "Opening Night," the Shiroyama Concert on Day 1 of EC 2012 on August 17 (Fri). Traveling from one island to another, the clear echo of Ms. Sato's island vocals will ring out from Sado this summer. Don't miss this special occasion!
I am honored to be able to take part in Earth Celebration for the first time, especially for this year's milestone 25th anniversary. I hope that the music created together with both Kodo and the audience will speak to the hearts of everyone present. I expect that the shimauta (island songs) passed down to me from generations past in my home of Amami will deepen my bond with you all. With these hopes in my heart, I look forward to letting my songs echo out across the vast, unspoiled nature of Sado Island.
Anna Sato has been singing Shimauta (island songs) from the age of three. She learned the songs of Amami from her grandfather, a unique musical education that led her to win many Shimauta contests. She began her music career in Tokyo from the age of eighteen and has released seven CDs to date. In July 2011, she garnered worldwide recognition for her performance at the World Gymnaestrada in Switzerland, and she is now an official vocalist for Cirque du Soleil. Most recently, in March of 2012, she appeared in the Okinawa International Asia Music Festival.

Cisco slaps Arista Networks with patent, copyright infringement suits
Arista fires back at Cisco's suits
Suing Arista was always the plan
Cisco was surprised by Arista statements: Chambers
Timing of suits came this year after executive remarks
By Jim Duffy
Managing Editor, Network World |
SAN JOSE -- CEO John Chambers said the company's decision to sue data center switch rival Arista Networks now was made after surprising statements Arista made this year.
"We're a company that trusts," Chambers said. "I'm a leader that trusts. They made statements that caused our team to look, that surprised us. It was a difficult decision but one you had to do."
Those Arista statements are catalogued in a blog from Cisco General Counsel Mark Chandler two weeks ago announcing the action. Cisco filed two lawsuits against Arista alleging patent and copyright infringement.
The timing of the complaints is curious because Arista's been shipping product for six years and went public in June. The company grew and is growing fast, with yearly revenues exceeding a half billion dollars and a market cap of $4.73 billion.
Chambers did not answer a question from reporters at the company's Global Editors Conference here this week on whether Cisco attempted to negotiate a royalty arrangement with Arista before suing the company.
"We don't go into any details on the litigation," he said, referring to the points made in Chandler's blog. "Mark Chandler articulated it very well in a well thought out and fundamental approach on what we did and why we had to move now.
"This industry is all about innovation," Chambers said. "As we've done that, we've encouraged innovation on many fronts. And technology is about innovation, not about copying. If we don't protect it, we'll see companies do the same thing. This is not about business momentum. But it is about a company that normally doesn't litigate. We've always managed our way through this. But we will protect the $6 billion per year we invest in innovation."
Arista CEO Jayshree Ullal, a 15-year veteran of Cisco, said in a blog post this week that her company is an industry pioneer that is innovating, while older companies -- an apparent reference to Cisco -- are "protectors" looking to maintain the status quo.
"Protectors defend old habits and remain strongly entrenched in following legacy technology trends," Ullal wrote. "They try to enforce new buzzwords and dictate markets in ways that maintain their dominant position with customers. They are often in denial of new technologies and market disruptions until it's too late. They deploy inappropriate tactics that serve to distract customers and partners from making the investments that will lead to competitive advantage.
"Pioneers are trailblazers. They create and make technology and markets happen. They are not afraid to replace an older technology with a newer one. Pioneers anticipate trends and fulfill customer needs. Arista is maniacally focused on doing the right thing, the right way as we prioritize delivering high quality technology to our customers. We call this the 'Arista way' and believe in this deeply for our employees, shareholders and executives."
Ullal's blog followed one by Arista director Dan Scheinman, a former Cisco counsel, charging Cisco with attempting to resort to the same tactics legacy vendors used in the 1990s to stall Cisco's momentum, and questioning the timing of the suits.
Separately, Chambers said he wasn't critical of the Open Compute Project when he said almost 18 months ago that the open source hardware group had "weaknesses" that Cisco could exploit through solutions better tailored to specific customer needs. He also didn't answer questions on why Cisco now joined the group, whether it would offer an OCP switch, and if that switch would be a current OCP design or a Cisco OCP submission.
"We're growing our high-end switching gaining market share," Chambers said. "We will compete against merchant silicon with services, with architectures. We will allow software to run across platforms over time. We will prioritize that a step at a time," adding that the service provider market may be the initial target.
Cisco rival Juniper Networks recently announced that it would offer an OCP switch running its Junos operating system.

Category: Creature Feature
Hunter who tracks outside of time
Guardian lord of ancient rhyme
Brother stag in the musky glen
And consort of the Goddess in her woodland den
We call you forth as we make our way
Walking in your power every day
Guide us true in our hunt this night
One of the many allies the party encountered during the Ways campaign was the Lord of the Forest – an Actaeon, who made it's home in the Black Forest to the north east of Lunima. While this particular Actaeon was male, Actaeons can be male or female.
This creature is partially inspired by the original creatures from Mystara, but also by some lyrics from the song "Hymn to Herne" by S.J. Tucker, and performed by Alexander James Adams. As usual, you can find The Lord of the Forest on Homebrewery or download a PDF.
There are many who look to the forests as a wilderness to be explored, or to be hunted for food, or to be cut for resources, but there are many creatures that make the forest their home. Those who reside in the Black Forest look to the Lord of the Forest for protection.
Peaceful Protectors
The Lords of the Forest are fey creatures that trancend boundaries between the planes, and seek to protect and heal the forests the frequent. When they can, they prefer to avoid confrontation but if they aren't afraid to fight.
Allies of Nature Often responding to the calls of those who would deal with threats to their forests, they can provide healing, guidance, and protection. In rare cases, the Lord of the Forest may also transform their allies to transport them across great distances, but such a journey can be unsettling and have lasting impacts.
Roaming the planes Any single Lord of the Forest will usually protect forests across worlds, travelling between them when there is need. They will usually bring favored animals with them, or if they have transformed an opponent, they will bring them to another world, stranding them away from the forests where they will not be able to cause harm.
Implacable Hunters While the Actaeons are generally kind, and benevolent creatures, they love to hunt. When they mark their prey, they will run it to ground over any distance. Actaeons only hunt when hungry or seeking vengeance against a tresspaser who has despoiled the wilderness they protect.

When I was looking for a powerful enemy to supplement the goblins that are touched by the Black Wind (a malign, otherworldly force heavily inspired by The Black Wind from the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan), Thouls seemed like a natural fit. As usual, you can find a copy of this on the Homebrewery, or download a PDF!
Thouls are a foul mystical blending of hobgoblins with trolls and ghouls, originally from the Mystara campaign setting from TSR. Whatever mystical grafting processing was used to combine them left Thouls as living, but necrotic creatures whose foul touch is poisonous to all living things. Stinking of decay, and having the pallour of death, Thouls appear to be grey skinned, grey haired hobgoblins with long fingers that taper into wicked claws. While the first thouls were created by mystical means, they breed naturally with other goblinoids, with only a fraction of the offspring resulting in a thoul.
Shock troops. Thouls often form the front line of a goblinoid force – their poisonous touch can disable their adversaries, and their healing abilities make them more resilient than their allies.
Scavengers and Outcasts. Thouls don't usually mix socially with other goblinoids – outside of a warband, or the few shamans and warlocks that set themselves apart from common thouls, they are very unpopular, reminding others of the hideous experimentation that other races often perform on goblin-kind.
Chosen of Elder Evils. While goblinoids are not usually the first choice when seeking minions, some thouls are smarter, wiser, or stronger then their kin, and this makes them attractive to gain a fast foothold in an area. Shamans and Warlocks that swear themselves to dark powers often rise to positions of power commanding warbands and tribes.
Voices of the Black Wind
Several tribes of goblinoids have been taken over by the Cult of the Black Wind, and of them, several thouls have been taught by the Seers to act as shamans. These Voices of the Black Wind answer to The Faceless and the Seers, and often lead warbands. The Voices of the Black Wind usually wear bonemail armor crafted from the remains of victims of the Black Wind.
Hands of the Seers
Some of the thouls who are even more capable than those who are raised as shamans are offered the chance to trade their souls for more power, and become warlocks dedicated to the Black Wind. Lured by the false promise of the chance to become seers themselves, they give up aspects of themselves to become Hands of the Seers with the knowledge that, like all who serve the Black Wind, those who fail will be flayed and transformed into the Faceless.
Black Wind Bonemail Armour
The Servants of the Black wind can often be found wearing armour made from the bones of sacrifices to the Black Wind. Bonemail Armour comes in two varieties – bonemail shirts, and bonemail armour. Regardless of the type of armour, all bonemail grants disadvantage and diplomacy checks, but advantage on intimidation checks against intelligent, living creatures due to the hideous sound and visage the armour grants.
Amour Cost Armor Class Weight
Bonemail Shirt 75 gp 13 + Dex modifier 15 lb
Bonemail Armour 100 gp 15 + Dex modifier 25 l b

"From the beginning, we've been dedicated to being transparent and measuring the true impact of our work to create healthier communities in Texas," said Elena Marks, EHF's president and CEO. "We publish our evaluation reports because we want to be accountable as a health philanthropy."
See the complete 2018 Impact Evaluation Report
Episcopal Health Foundation conducts evaluation for two primary purposes. First, as an institution of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas (EDOT) and a public charity, EHF strives to be transparent about and accountable for the use of the abundant resources entrusted to the Foundation. Second, the Foundation wants to learn from its previous experience about how to improve its work and increase its impact going forward. The annual evaluation report supports both purposes.
For the past four years, EHF has evaluated its investment portfolio and presented these results in a yearly evaluation report. The 2018 Evaluation Report analyzes the results of 330 active community health investments, 145 of which were newly initiated in 2018. EHF defines a community health investment as a discrete contribution of dollars or staff time intended to support an organization, set of organizations, or community in launching or advancing work designed to transform health. Foundation investments include grants, research projects, and community and congregational engagement programs.
Notably, 2018 represents the first full year of EHF's 2018-2022 strategic plan. Considering this fact, many of the learnings in this report emphasize evaluation of the Foundation's processes rather than outcomes. This also marks our first year of collecting indicator data from grantees, a practice that will continue to evolve as we learn which metrics most meaningfully capture the impact of our grant investments.

Ted Nugent Gunned Down 455 Hogs for 'Bill Maher and All Those Other Animal Rights Freaks'
Home > Gun Safety Published March 13, 2013 - 4:00pm
It appears the only thing Ted Nugent likes more than guns is attention. The '70s rock icon is in hog heaven after what he calls a "win win win" of saving the environment, feeding the hungry and inflaming the "haters".
Over the weekend he told XM radio host Brett Winterble:
"I took my machine gun in the helicopter - in the Texas hill country - me and my buddy 'Pigman' ... his name is 'Pigman' - I'm the swine czar. I killed 455 hogs with my machine gun. i did it for Bill Maher and all those other animal rights freaks out there."
Sport hunting from helicopters in Texas is illegal, but according to Texas Department of Agriculture, "Private hunters are now allowed by the State of Texas to pay for the right to perform as the gunner and shoot feral hogs from a helicopter as part of a feral hog depredation program."
Texas has a feral hog population of over 2 million. They are responsible for damage to property, crops and livestock at an estimated annual cost of $500 million, but if this isn't sport hunting, it has to be the most popular government program ever among conservatives and gun activists. Still, Nugent says he is doing Texas a favor saying, "We saved the environment from the destruction of these out-of-control pigs and I'm not talking about Washington D.C. or San Francisco...I'm actually talking about actual pigs."
Nugent isn't known for his activism on behalf of the poor but says, "We distributed tons of the most delicious pork to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of this state. Everything we did was perfect - win win win." He may or may not believe he is doing the Lord's work, but he is definitely revelling in his persona non grata among liberals and progressives. When mentioning he shot off 750 rounds a minute he said, "my haters will hate me more for that" and concluded by saying, "I had to adjust my halo as I was machine gunning hogs."

AT&T's Marketing-Only Cable VoIP Deals
BroadBananas Michael Harris 8/27/2004
Last week AT&T announced an agreement with CableLabs to leverage its Go2Broadband MSO service availability database. Through the deal, AT&T has inked marketing pacts with top U.S. cable operators in support of its CallVantage VoIP service, including Comcast, Time Warner, Cox Communications, Charter Communications and Mediacom. Under the arrangement, AT&T will refer prospective customers seeking to sign up for its CallVantage VoIP package, which requires broadband Internet access, to the appropriate MSO to purchase cable modem service. MSOs are happy to receive the customer referrals and AT&T is eager to steer broadband subscribers aware from local telephone companies that are now competing with Ma Bell in the long distance business. It is worth noting that AT&T's cable VoIP deals are nothing more than superficial marketing pacts. The cable deal they really want, and the one they'll never get in the near term, is one that includes network services from MSOs to prioritize CallVantage traffic, thus ensuring higher voice quality and reliability than is otherwise available with best-effort VoIP services. MSOs are of course reluctant to do so, as it would create stronger competition for their own PacketCable-based IP telephone services.

Will you pursue the recently extended Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction (Section 179D)?
On December 18, 2015, Congress passed and President Obama signed HR 2029, "Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2015." Included in the legislation is a provision that reinstated the Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction, or section 179D of the tax code, (which had expired on December 31, 2014) for 2015 and through December 31, 2016.
There was no change to the $1.80 per square foot ($0.60 per system) deduction. The extension did change the referenced ASHRAE standard for projects placed in service after December 31, 2015, which are detailed here.
In April 2013, Facility Executive (then Today's Facility Manager) published an article on commercial lighting trends that included a survey of EPAct 2005 Commercial Building Tax Deduction (CBTD). This deduction, which was extended in 2008 through 2013, provides for up to 60¢ per square foot savings for lighting upgrades performed during the years 2006 through 2013.
Of the 190 respondents to this question in 2013 (see chart below), 16.8% were planning to take advantage of CBTD, while another 6.3% had already taken advantage of the tax deduction. Conversely, 43.1% of facility executives said they were not planning to take advantage of CBTD, and another 33.6% indicated they did not know about the tax deduction.
Therefore, a little under a quarter of respondents had already taken advantage of the deduction or were planning to do so, and the remaining 75%+ of respondents were not going to use CBTD or did not know it existed.
Has this scenario changed since 2013? Please take a moment to respond to this week's poll, and share additional comments below.
Do you plan to take advantage of the recently reinstated 2005 EPACT Commercial Building Tax Deduction Program for lighting and/or HVAC and hot water, and building envelope improvements?
We have already done so.
We don't know enough about the deduction to decide currently.
