SLIM STEVE'S BLUESLINE
SLIM STEVE CHOWN
Despite remembering being alarmed by the beginning of Dark Side of the Moon at the age of 10, Steve survived growing up in the prog-rock era and completed his education with nothing but a massive record collection and the three chords necessary for playing blues guitar.
Many years, many albums, many gigs and several guitars later Steve (now Slim Steve) is still seeking enlightenment and survives only on the music he plays.
With an in-depth knowledge of rock, roots, Americana and Blues if you need a tune, and you can find him, his mission is to share the love that this music brings.

THE WEEKEND WARM-UP
WITH SHARON LOUSIE
FRIDAYS 8PM - 10PM
I play music sent by local singers and bands. I've a varied selection of local music to play each week, hopefully appealing to a range of listeners, who then go along to support live performances.
I have local singers or bands in the studio with me who chat about their music, play acoustic songs live and choose tracks that are special to them. It's interesting to hear how people became involved in making music, a great opportunity to really get to know them and their music, and a chance for the singers to really promote themselves.
I give information about local music events coming up and list a range of genre, venues and prices so there should be 'something for everyone'.
If you would like to have your music played on the show, be a guest or have a shout-out for your music event then please do get in touch.
SUNDAYS 1PM - 3PM
Greetings, all music lovers – On Sundays afternoons 1-3pm I present THE ALBUM SHOW when I review music albums of all genre, providing information about the songs, artists, background, charting and anything else I can think of!

Night Madness is mad and on a Thursday night, so we thought the name was apt! (You wouldn't believe how much work went in to that!)

Tune in for the 'Letter of the week' and join in, the choices are eclectic to say the least!

Another DIY for y'all today! I've been cranking out the projects around the house, so this won't be the last you see on here!
We have a beautiful bay window seat in our bedroom, and I wanted to make a cushion for it and spend as little as possible. And I didn't want to use my sewing machine, since that always results in a meltdown. So I came up with a very quick and budget-friendly solution that can be used again when we inevitably move!
First, measure your window seat!
I bought my foam (2" thick) at Joann's. That stuff is expensive! Tip: download the Joann's Fabric app and there is, just about always, a 50% off coupon. I had them cut it to 66" (length) by 23" (width/depth) and then I finished the rest of the cutting at home.
Since I have a bay window, the dimensions were a little more complicated. First, I measured the little sides (the red in the picture above) and marked accordingly on each side on the foam.
I marked the half way point at the top of the foam (33"), and used that mark as the center of the length of the back of the cushion (I feel like I'm speaking gibberish right now...I hope this is making sense!) The turquoise line (pictured above) is 27", so half of that is 13.5". Using your measuring tape, place 13.5 on the mark that you made for 33" (the middle of the whole cushion). Then mark at each end of the measuring tape.
Measure the lines you just made to make sure it's accurate (the black lines above= 17.5") Then, cut! An electric knife is the best tool to use for this, but I couldn't find mine so I just used kitchen shears, and they worked surprisingly well!
Now it's time to make it pretty! I chose to not sew for a few reasons. 1) I hate it. 2) It takes me about 12x longer than it should, and 3) I wanted to be able to use this cushion again for our next house, and there's a good chance the dimensions will be completely different. So I ordered a bit of extra fabric, wrapped it like a gift, and safety-pinned it onto the bottom! This way, it's super easy to take on and off and throw in the wash. Plus, if we move and have a bigger window seat, I can just add extra foam and re-use the fabric!
I absolutely love how it turned out!
And so do the cats...they are up here every time I walk in the room!
A few pretty pillows complete the look.
This is now one of my favorite little spots in the house!
Love it! I did this with our window seat as well, except I added a plywood board with the foam, so that the cushions were a little more sturdy. With my two crazy dogs jumping around all the time, it was definitely needed!
Wow looks super easy and I love that you can change the fabrics as much as you want!! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous...and I'm all for making things as easy as possible. Who needs sewing?! :) And holy gorgeous courtyard!!!
Looks great, nice work! Hope your new year is off to a great start!!
It looks great. A perfect spot to curl up with a book.
you are way too talented missy!! this looks so pretty! miss you!
Anyways, I love this DIY and the fabric you chose is beautiful!
I've got to make a window seat cushion for our house. How expensive was the foam, do you remember? Was it worth it?
I was just going to ask you what you used to cut... I can't find my electric knife either.. I think I sent it to the thrift store in a frenzied purge session. Sigh. I'm glad to hear the scissors will work. Off to complete this project FINALLY!
Thank you so much for posting this! I am so happy with the way my new window seat turned out! Great idea to use pins! Especially with little ones and a dog too! Easy cleaning and can change out the pattern for holidays or if I just get bored with it! Used a scissors for cutting without a problem also!
Thank you so much for this blog. I, too, hate sewing. I just did this and am so happy with it!
Great idea! I'm going to do this for my bay. One suggestion: maybe create a paper template for a cutting pattern. Can use newspaper or wrapping paper and tape pieces together to make large enough piece. Also make sure foam thickness doesn't interfere with window handles.
Very pretty! Does the cushion slide off when you sit on it?
Love the simple idea of pinning...would have never thought of it. I am also curious as to whether the cushions tend to slide? I suppose a sticky mat like those under cutting boards might work for that?
You just saved me $250!!!! I had so much fun making my own with your simple instructions :-) Thank you SO much, lots and lots of hugs!!!!
Thank you! I was just pricing a custom cushion for my bay window and it was coming close to $300 - yikes! - plus my cats are just gonna barf on it anyway... lol... which actually makes me love this even more, since I can just unpin the fabric and wash it - perfect! I also love that I can change up the fabric easily (and cheaply) when I redecorate. Genius - thanks so much for posting!
I have wanted to recover my trapezoid shaped window seat cushion for some time now, as the fabric had faded and begun to tear. When I looked into having it replaced by a professional, the cost was more than I was willing to pay. Then I came across your blog and saw what you had done with yours. I too hate to get the sewing machine out and this idea of wrapping the cushion with fabric and securing with safety pins really appealed to me. So I bought 3 yard of fabric and using your photos as a guide, recovered mine yesterday. I couldn't be happier!


Choosing the right pallet is key to streamlining and improving supply chains.
Pallet management helps shippers uncover efficiencies and economies in their supply chain. Wood, plastic, and aluminum pallets all carry specific benefits, which can often be delivered via a pallet pooling service.
Wood or plastic? Lease or purchase? Whatever your operations need, there's a pallet provider ready to supply it.


A question for the gang!
I'm not sure if I'm posting this is the right thread, but here goes: I'm looking for a recipe for blueberry monkey bread; do any of you have this recipe? The one I'm looking for calls for homemade biscuits....I lost this recipe two years ago and would love to make it again! Thanks!
Something you can do is look over the "Community Cookbook" that is on the right side-bar, the picture with all the cakes lined up to tempt us ALL!
Once you look through all those recipes, you'll be in recipe overload! In the 'just recipes' thread, there are often even more recipes for a single title. Part of the fun we have here is going into recipe overload. Mmmmmmmm Mmmmmm!
HI Hollie- Is this a scratch recipe or does it use Pillsbury biscuits? Sounds good.
Every search I made for this turned up something using store bought biscuits. I don't see why you can't use home made buscuits though. I got it from http://www.cooksrecipes.com, which has lots of good things.
Is this anything like what you're remembering? If you can tell us more about it, maybe it will remind someone of something they've seen.
Preheat oven to 350*F (175*C). Thoroughly grease a 10 x 4-inch tube pan.
Mix 2/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Set aside.
Cut biscuits in quarters. Roll each piece in sugar mixture.
Arrange about one-fourth of the sugared-biscuit pieces and 1/4 cup of the blueberries in an even layer in pan. Repeat three more times.
In saucepan melt butter; stir in brown sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup blueberries and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour hot syrup over biscuit/blueberry mixture in pan.
Bake for 65 minutes or until done. Turn out onto serving plate.
Alanna said:HI Hollie- Is this a scratch recipe or does it use Pillsbury biscuits? Sounds good.
It called for pillsbury, but I whipped up a batch of homemade ones.
Oh this sounds so good! Haha All I seem to want to do lately is eat, and I think I'm going to have to try this!

Q: Macro Substitution using Block Structure in C (K&R Problem 4.14) When trying to use a block structure as the "replacement text" with a #define statement, e.g the below,
#define swap(t,x,y) { t _z;                     \
_z = x;                                     \
x = y;                                      \
y = _z;                }

Then I try to use it with:
printf( "%.2f %.2f\n", pow(a,b), pow( swap(int,a,b) ) );

But I get the following compiler error
    414.c:14:21: error: expected expression before '{' token
 #define swap(t,x,y) { t _z;   \
                     ^
414.c:27:41: note: in expansion of macro 'swap'
   printf( "%.2f %.2f\n", pow(a,b), pow( swap(int,a,b) ) );
                                         ^~~~

Is it not permissible to use block structures like this? What if I want to use a variable local to the macro?
The problem prompt specifically says to use block structures and the "C Answer Book" has this exact piece of code as the solution.

A: If the macro is expanded
printf( "%.2f %.2f\n", pow(a,b), pow( swap(int,a,b) ) );

becomes
printf( "%.2f %.2f\n", pow(a,b), pow( { int z; z=a; a=b; b=z} ) ) );

The { } is not valid as an expression.  Also pow takes two parameters.  You can rewrite it as
printf( "%.2f", pow(a,b));
swap(int,a,b);
printf( "%.2f\n", pow(a,b));

A: The problem is that your macro is expanded to this:
{ int _z;
_z = a;
a = b;
b = _z; }

And soon your call becomes:
printf( "%.2f %.2f\n", pow(a,b), pow( { int _z; _z = a; a = b; b = _z; } ) );

Since pow requires 2 arguments and you're passing a block, it fails to compile.

Is it not permissible to use block structures like this?

Not as an argument to a function that expects 2 numeric arguments (double, int, or whatever).

What if I want to use a variable local to the macro?

The way you declared the local variable is correct.

Cozumel is once again being featured in the American Travel Industry, but this time, it's not for our amazing reef system, scuba diving or even our snorkeling. What caught Emmy award winning Travel Editor Peter Greenberg's attention was our lagoon system.
Also known as the Travel Detective, Peter Greenberg regularly appears in "CBS This Morning," the "CBS Evening News," and hosts a nationally syndicated "Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio" show, broadcast each week from a different remote location around the world. Last week Peter 's show was broadcasted from Playa del Carmen, during which time he also sat down with Robert Cudney, owner of Mexico Silvestre Wilderness Outfitter, to discuss one of the many unique features that make Cozumel an amazing destination: the lagoon system.
Robert Cudney, a talented wildlife photographer, worked for the Commission of Natural Protected Areas for over 10 years and was the Director of the National Ecotourism Program, Veracruz Reefs and Cozumel Reefs National Parks. He conducts personalized half-day, full-day or even overnight expeditions through Cozumel's lagoons. Roberts interview is tentatively scheduled to air on October 13th, and can be found on the webpage after that date. The broadcast from the Riveria Maya is already available.


A recent study published by the Japanese Ministry of Health predicts a decrease of the Japanese population by about 30 percent within the next 50 years.
But despite heavy population density in Japanese cities and a scarcity of natural resources – especially in the aftermath of last year's catastrophic tsunami – commentary in the Japanese media about the report was mostly negative.
In contrast, Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, applauds the report. He is also highly critical of those working to overturn its prediction.
Rael has repeatedly condemned politicians and religious leaders for selfishly encouraging people to have more babies. He has also requested that all religious books asking people to "multiply" be declared illegal.

What is PGP?
Whole Disk Encryption
R. Kayne
PGP (Pretty good Privacy) is the most widely recognized public key encryption program in the world. It can be used to protect the privacy of email, data files, drives and instant messaging.
PGP changes plain text to code.
Traffic on the Internet is susceptible to snooping by third parties with a modicum of skill. Data packets can be captured and stored for years. Even mail servers will often indefinitely store messages, which can be read now or at a future point, sometimes long after the author has changed his or her point of view. Email, unlike a phone call or letter, is not legally protected as private communication, and can therefore be read by third parties, legal or otherwise, without permission or knowledge of the author. Many privacy watchdog groups advocate, if you aren't using encryption, don't include anything in an email you wouldn't want to see published. Ideally this includes personal information as well, such as name, address, phone number, passwords, and so on.
When creating a key pair in Pretty Good Privacy encryption systems, the public key can be sent to a public key server.
PGP encryption provides privacy missing from online communication. It changes plain, readable text into a complex code of characters that is completely unreadable. The email or instant message travels to the destination or recipient in this cyphered form. The recipient uses PGP to decrypt the message back into readable form. Whether you are concerned about protecting privacy rights, a corporate whistleblower, or a citizen that simply wants to chat with friends without allowing people to "listen in," PGP is the answer.
The simple but ingenious method behind public key encryption is based around the creation of a customized key pair. The key pair consists of a public key and a private key. The public key encrypts messages, while the private key decrypts them.
Using PGP, Mr. Wise would generate a key pair by entering a real name or nickname to be associated with the keys and a password. The two keys are interlocking algorithms that appear as small bits of text code. Mr. Wise can freely share the public key with anyone who wishes to send an encrypted message to him. For example, let's say Mr. Wise gives his public key to Ms. Geek. He can copy and paste it into an email and send it to her "in the clear."
Ms. Geek receives the public key and copies it to her public key ring in PGP. After she writes an email to Mr. Wise, the email is encrypted using the associated public key, obtained from the key ring. The encrypted email is now sent. If someone captures the email en route, or even if it is stored on a server, it will be unreadable.
When Mr. Wise receives the email, his private key decrypts the message. Thus the communication is kept private, even though it travels over public channels. The encryption and decryption can be done automatically, as PGP seamlessly interfaces with most major email clients.
To send an encrypted email to someone using PGP, you only need his or her public key. Each public key is unique and works with the associated private key as a key pair. If you encrypt a message with the public key of someone other than the recipient, the recipient will not be able to decrypt the message.
When creating a key pair in PGP, the option exists for your public key to be sent to a public key server. This makes it possible for strangers to send you encrypted mail by simply looking up your public key. To avoid spam, you may choose instead to email your public key discretely to handpicked friends. Others attach their public key as part of their signature on public posts to newsgroups and Web chat boards.
A PGP user can also use his or her private key to digitally sign outgoing mail so that the recipient knows that the mail originated from the named sender. A third party would not have access to the private key, so the digital signature authenticates the sender.
Sensitive data files stored on your hard drive or on removable media can also be protected using PGP. You can use your public key to encrypt the files and your private key to decrypt them. Some versions also allow the user to encrypt an entire disk. This is especially useful for laptop users in the event the laptop is lost or stolen.
Early versions of PGP were written by Philip Zimmermann and first offered to the public in 1991. The program is open source and has several different versions available with prevailing attitudes about which is best. Some versions are free for personal use, while the newest "official" incarnations offered through PGP Corporation are shareware. Beginning with PGP Personal Desktop v. 9.0, users are offered a fully functional free trial run before the software reverts to a lesser-featured version, minus a purchased license. The lesser-featured version still allows encryption of email but some of the automation is crippled.
Commercial versions of PGP are also available to use in networked multi-user environments.

I've been using PGP v8 Free for a long time, but it stopped working when I had to migrate from XP to Win7 (Pro 64). Does anyone know how to make it work in Win7 please?
Whatever kind of PGP or may I better say OpenPGP related product you use, sharing your public key bilateral or via a keyserver is inevitable if you want to receive encrypted mails from other people.
Since you can't send encrypted to anybody if you do not have his public key, you will need to obtain it first.
Potterspop
Don't forget to secure your private key properly. Most people store it on their computer and think hiding it somewhere in a file is enough.
To be truly secure you should have access to the file containing it password protected. If you're going to use PGP you may as well be careful on all counts.
MissMuffet
@Acracadabra - At work we don't use PGP encryption freeware, but rather a paid service. I assume that it all works in similar ways though.
It's rare to send email using PGP to someone who doesn't have it installed. Actually the most time consuming part of the whole thing is the initial sharing and storing of key information.
I'm pretty sure that if you sent one to someone without the program they would be invited to download it, though they could be suspicious it is SPAM and not bother.
Why not try sending a mail to yourself at a second email address and see what happens?
Acracadabra
I enjoyed reading this as Internet security is something that worries me quite a lot. I am not sure of one thing though. If I use PGP freeware to encrypt an email I am sending, what happens if the recipient doesn't have it installed on their computer?

Our system of funding political campaigns is systematically corrupt. The people operating within this system are not doing anything illegal or necessarily immoral. All representatives have to operate within this system to be representatives. This system of campaign funding was created not by design, but by default. The unelected justices on the Supreme Court have over the years stripped away at our ability to fight the corruption caused by the way money moves in politics. Our legislators have responded by shifting their focus. Like the pigeons in Skinner's box, they have learned where to peck to receive the sustenance they need. Running political campaigns costs money. They have to turn to the funders for that money. As a result, the funders have their ears. We have representatives who, for all intents and purposes, represent their funders, instead of the people. And the people are not their funders. This is not the Republic the founders intended.
Genoa resident Shannon Wilde, with help from Represent.Us, the grassroots corruption-fighting group of which she is a member, is largely responsible for this effort. She is a citizen fighting to restore representative democracy in the U.S. I urge Genoa Township residents to stand with her and against corruption on Nov. 4.


I am trying to create a 3D Tron Game and i used the Trail Script from the unity examples and added a mesh collider to it, so I can collider with the Trail which works pretty good. Now I need to sync the mesh via network and I just find a solution to it. Since i cant send arrays via an RPC I would have to convert everything into a string, but then i get massive lags because of the huge amount of data.. any ideas?
Can you not download the meshes from a server? That would be faster. How are you creating your string right now?
note the "Important Note !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in the second answer. Epic !
This would send a basic mesh through. You could expand if for materials etc. It's going to be big though, just not as big as your string.
You will get a static event being raised whenever a mesh is received - obviously you could just handle the receiver call in a different way.
I eventually used the HoloLens Toolkits SimpleMeshSerialiser as the Windows HoloToolkit doesn't support some serialisation methods.
I also added a new NetworkManager channel with fragmented, to support a larger upper byte size limit.
the trail (and hence the mesh) must be made in some way by some code that takes some starting input - for example, a series of positions of the object? Or perhaps a "velocity and position" ..?? Right?
In fact, just send that "series of positions" or "velocity and position" and run THE SAME CODE on the far side. Cross fingers, and it should produce the SAME RESULT.
@Fattie Quite certainly the best thing to do if you can because it's incremental as the game progresses.
Oh.. Just tried it and it works perfect, such a simple solution. Thank you very much !
I've been trying to do this for more complex geometry. First I ran into the issue of packet length so I know for a fact im going to have to section the mesh down into chunks that are small enough to send. My biggest issue is the deconstruction and reconstruction of a mesh. For example I'm working from the vertices, trying to capture say 50 verts at once so i grab those and then check for any tris that include these verts, then out of those tris keep the ones where every vert is on the 50 verts list, because otherwise its a tri from a section i dont want just yet. i'm pretty positive this will cause me to lose some tris, but for now i'm just wanting the basics and can tackle that down the line.
A cannot for the life of me just take one section of vertices, extrapolate the tris that are being used and then rebuild a separate mesh of just those vertices and resulting tris.
Anybody try anything like this or able to help me out?
This is extra but once i get each section i think it wont be too hard of an issue to build one mesh out of the sections ive seen that done before but again cannot find any example of someone just splitting a mesh into two separate meshes. Im guessing most of this is because the lists arent really in any top/down order they hop around.

In Love Again: The Music of Richard Rodgers is a 2002 studio album by Stacey Kent, of the songs of the American composer Richard Rodgers.

Reception

David R. Adler writing on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. Adler said the "burlesque-ish 6/8 middle section" of "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" works "amazingly well". He went on to say: "The sound of the disc is strong, highlighting the nicely varied arrangements and the innate charm of Kent's puckish voice." However, he criticized an "aimless bossa nova reading of 'It Might as Well Be Spring,' and a general overabundance of ballads".

Victor Sloan: Photographic Prints
Text from Critics Choice
Selecting anything, including an exhibition, is autobiographical. It is often easy to hide that basic element under the objectivity of a large-scale survey. However, being asked to choose the work of a single artist removes that cover.
Although Victor Sloan was one of several artists in different media whose visual qualities and perceptions are comparable and have been exhibited here, it is his work which set off a particularly strong series of conscious and subconscious references.
Confronting the quirky subjectiveness of making choices about visual arts involves what influences a selection, at least to oneself. Otherwise the result becomes mindless. In Sloan's case there were several causes. One was watching how his work came to grips with moving from painting to photography over the past 8 years and how his photography has developed in its own creative and technical terms, ceasing to imitate painting.
There is a the continuous tension of a risky balance between the readable figurative shapes of photography and the freely-drawn, non-figurative marks which he runs across negatives or prints by scratching them or painting on chemicals. These marks place the identifiable shapes within the boundaries of a pictorial universe, nor those of the everyday life from which they come.
The shapes still retain their references to life outside the art image to the past and present conditions and mythology of Orangeism viewed through Sloan's recording of and relationship to it. He uses a single negative for the basis for each picture, and takes his own photographs. A camera can only record the light effects in front of it, not those of somewhere else. Sloan uses images taken from where he was brought up and now lives, which happens to be Northern Ireland. His work filters all the cultural loadings of his background and present attitudes, a process of which he is thoroughly aware.
By setting these images in the context of non-figurative marks, Sloan controls them by making them also into marks and so defusing their story-telling elements in the process, he develops a discussion about photography as a visual arts medium, and about what can happen in it. Controlled chance and the conscious use of what would usually be seen as accidental damage to a print, are generally avoided in a medium obsessed with technical perfectionism and concise control. Sloan deliberately incorporates the former.
These marks are equally important at another level. They allow Sloan to emphasis the personal emotion outside logic, which is necessary to change an illustration into a creative image. This is particularly vital in a medium like photography, which views technique as an end in itself and not as a vehicle for self-expression. Victor Sloan pointed out that "for me" the marks are therapeutic, It's like breaking glass. I really get satisfaction and enjoyment from them." Without them his work would be no more than just another exercise in Northern Irish socio-political illustration. Instead, he creates powerfully creative visual images which respect but control their sources. That combination is a rare one, in any medium.

Chelsea books FA Cup final against Man United after beating Southhampton
LONDON Apr 22, 2018 - 12:00 am GMT+3
| EPA Photo
by Associated Press Apr 22, 2018 12:00 am
Chelsea will meet Manchester United in the FA Cup final after beating Southampton 2-0 in the second semi at Wembley Stadium on Sunday with goals from Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.
Giroud, who had been selected ahead of Morata to spearhead Chelsea's attack, scored the first goal within 30 seconds of the second half starting with a mesmerizing piece of dribbling deep inside the Southampton penalty area.
Having been found by Hazard, the Frenchman picked his way past Southampton defenders to leave himself a simple tap-in from close range.
Morata, who came on to replace Giroud in the second half, headed Chelsea's second in the 82nd minute with a simple header following a cross from defender Cesar Azpilicueta.
Chelsea coach Antonio Conte had opted for Giroud, who was bought on the final day of the January transfer window from Arsenal, after his two goals last weekend against Southampton helped the Blues come from behind to win 3-2.
Chelsea had most of the possession during the first half but could not translate its dominance into goals. Willian went closest to giving Chelsea a lead in the first half but his 7th minute left-footed drive following a swift counterattack hit the bar.
Giroud's goal saw Southampton adopt a more open approach and the Saints went close to equalizing in the 72nd minute when Nathan Redmond's strike from just outside the area was parried away by goalkeeper Willy Caballero. From the ensuing corner, Caballero appeared to drop the ball into his own net but the referee judged that he had been impeded by Southampton forward Charlie Austin.
Morata's header effectively sealed the game as a contest though Austin came close to narrowing the deficit in the 84th minute when his shot across Caballero hit the post.
Chelsea, which lost last year's final to Arsenal, hasn't won the FA Cup since 2012 when it beat Liverpool. United last won the competition two years ago after coming from behind against Crystal Palace.
The last time Chelsea and Manchester United contested the final was in 2007 when Didier Drogba scored the solitary goal for Chelsea deep in extra-time.
The final will be played on May 19 at Wembley.

Thank you to our partner organisations for supporting our work to achieve gender equality in science, technology, engineering and maths in the Plymouth travel-to-work area.
The PMG is a network of local manufacturing companies in the Plymouth travel-to-work-area. Recognising that its predecessor body was proving unsustainable, we were instrumental in helping to set up WISP when it was first formed in 2014. Since then, we've been active members of a Committee that helps to steer the strategic direction of the group and organises events on the ground.
Plessey were involved with the original set up of the Plymouth Women in STEM group and have been regular supporters for the past 4 years. We are committed to recruiting a diverse workforce to ensure we are equipped with the right skills and knowledge to develop and manufacture hi-tech LED products within the UK which are then sold all over the world.
The Devon and Cornwall Area Branch of IMechE joined the WISP Committee as an advisory member in 2017. We exist to support the professional development of engineers and celebrate and promote engineering to everyone in the area. This is primarily achieved through CPD events, social events and STEM partnerships and events (all mostly free and open to all). We joined WISP in order to be able to share our events with their members and their events with ours. We hope that this will encourage women to be interested in engineering and engineers (of all genders) to help further gender equality in Devon and Cornwall and promote cross sector networking and knowledge sharing.
In addition to our Partners, we would also like to thank the following organisations, who provide WISP with support in various forms, including space, advice and friendship.

Q: Validating strings against given regex pattern? I wrote simple method for checking if given array has at least one string, that matches provided pattern... but something is missing and not sure how to limit positive results only to full words, not just first substring that fits pattern.
+ (BOOL)hasWordsWithPattern:(NSString *)pattern inWords:(NSArray *)words{
NSRegularExpression *expression = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:pattern
                                                                            options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive

Q: format moment JS date substracts one day I am currently using moment.js and I am facing a problem to format a date to DD MMM as it's giving me one day less that the original date. I am making the transformation with the next line:
moment(date).format('DD MMM')

As an example, date is 2019-09-12T00:00:00Z and for this date, moment is giving me: 11 sept
Then, why 11 and not 12? is this related with the fact that the hour is 00:00:00Z ? In that case, how should be threated?
Thanks in advance

A: Yes, this is almost surely because it is formatting the date in your current time zone, but the original time is expressed in UTC — the Z at the end means "zero time zone offset from UTC". For reference, a date with a time zone would, instead of Z have something like -06:00 at the end.
I believe you can solve your issue by using the moment.utc method, which causes prints of that date to be printed in UTC rather than your local timezone.
Compare printing the date (with timezone included) without the .utc: (my timezone is UTC -6)
console.log(moment('2019-09-12T00:00:00Z').format('DD MMM Z'));
=> 11 Sep -06:00

vs with .utc:
console.log(moment.utc('2019-09-12T00:00:00Z').format('DD MMM Z'));
=> 12 Sep +00:00


Delicious chicken breasts seasoned and quickly pan sauteed then immersed in a flavor packed pomegranate coconut sauce. Served over rice. Simple, delicious and full of healthy (pomegranate juice) antioxidants!
Coat a pan with oil and heat on medium high heat. Cook chicken 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to plate. Heat pomegranate sauce and simmer until thickened to desired consistency. Add chicken back and spoon sauce over chicken. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro and serve over rice.
This dish was delicious. High end restaurant quality. The pomegranate coconut sauce was so good. Sticky rice and peanut / cilantro topppings, perfect combination. The chicken was very well seasoned. We will look for this again!

Train travel in Sicily is not for those in a hurry. It is best suited to those individuals who need to atone for their sins by doing penance, and rumor has it that a one-way ticket on Sicilian rail can be redeemed for a week out of purgatory. At least you won't be fighting traffic and clinically insane drivers, or spend your day looking for a parking space.
Most trains in Sicily are Regionale, which, no matter how you translate it, means slow. They usually offer only 2nd class tickets and no services other than bringing your bicycle on board, presumably so that when you get fed up with the painstakingly slow train, you can quickly pedal away. On the bright side, regionale train tickets are cheap and routes are often scenic.
One rail route in Sicily that holds promise as a sightseeing journey and a step back in time is the Ragusa-Syracuse route, which takes approximately 2 hours one way. (You can also board the train at Modica, one stop east of Ragusa, which has slightly more frequent service and trims about 30 minutes off the journey.) The train is usually a rickety 1-2 car contraption, redolent of sweat and dust, but with a friendly conductor, who occasionally stops for coffee along the way. This old Sicilian train wends its way through groves of gnarled olive trees, peeks into the vegetable gardens of ramshackle houses, stops for no reason under the shady canopy of a magnificent carob tree, dips down towards the shimmering turquoise sea, and as it nears the town of Noto, is engulfed by lemon trees. In spring the scent of lemon blossoms fills the train with a scent so intoxicatingly sweet you'll feel like you've skipped purgatory and gone straight to heaven. When the train finally squeals into the station at Syracuse, you can stretch your legs by walking the 20 minutes into the old quarter of Ortygia, and stroll by the seaside eating gelato. Make sure you check the return train times if you don't want to be stranded overnight in Syracuse.
Details: You can view train schedules for all trains in Italy at www.trenitalia.it and there is a clickable option to view an English language version.
What's so bad about being stranded in Siracusa overnight? You can visit the puppets in Ortygia, watch the sea reflect the stars, eat a wonderful dinner, followed my more gelato.
Right you are-just remember to take your luggage with you when you leave Ragusa!
Is there a website where you can search for itineraries, hours and prices for travelling by train in Sicily?
I found the trenitalia site almost useless in trying to plan an itinerary in Italy. Routes of the network would be helpful.I couldn't find any information on the circumetna line from Catania despite an evening's search.However,I did enjoy 20 minutes of a video on this route found on another site.
Will be cycle touring in Sicily in Sept 2013.
Do you know how amenable they are to bicycles on trains?
Marion- If you look at the trenitalia website with train schedules, their is a bicycle icon if they take bikes. Train service is slow and infrequent in Sicily – it may be faster just to ride your bike! Have a wonderful trip and stay off the main roads. Get a Touring Club Italiano map, 1:200 000 scale, and you should be fine.
I am going to a little town called San Giuseppe Jato sicely, is there a public bus that goes to palermo,sicely? And how do I find a schedule of times .
Thanks for train travel info.
Can you recommend any nice day trips from Palermo in January (train or bus).
We are arriving in Palermo on the 13th August and plan to fly out of Catania on the 22nd. Is it possible in the time frame to use public transport to see Trapani, Taormina, Syracuse And fly out of Catania to Rome.
Hi Anita – husband and I will be spending the month on January in Sicily….moving around….hopefully by train or bus….can you offer information on a logical routing? We want to be in Palermo from the 23rd of January to the 29th to meet up with family members. I know the weather will not be great…but better in Sicily than Chicago!
I need to be in Palermo on an Oct. date when there are no flyer milage award seats from the USA, but I can get them flying into Catania, arriving 2:30 pm. Would you recommend I stay overnite in Catania and go by rail next a.m. or try to get to Palermo same day I arrive in Catania? P.S. We will see Catania for 3 days at end of tour.
I would take a bus the same day from Catania to Palermo or check the train schedules, as bus can be more frequent and faster.
I was in Palermo, Sicily and I took a train to San Nicola. How far can you go on this same train to see other towns, like Tribia? and further in a day?
what is the route of the train that goes into and out of Palermo, comuter route daily?

I need some new glasses, so I decided to try out Warby Parker's home try-on program. Haven't heard of it? Well, it's this really awesome thing where you pick out 5 pairs of glasses from their website, and then they send them to you for free and you get to test them out at home 🙂 Much simpler than awkwardly trying them on at the eye doctor's office with everybody watching and judging – plus, they have WAY COOLER frames.
So, I need your help, friends. I can't decide (although I do have my own favs). Are you ready to see some weird photos of me posing?
Alright, keep that one fresh in your mind as you scroll through!
All cute! 3 or 4?
Thanks! I really like the Finch ones – but maybe in a tortoise shell color?
They are all really cute. I can understand why it's hard to decide. It takes me forever to pick out glasses when I go eye glass shopping. I'm sure you will pick the right one. When you decide show us!


A arguable angle to catechumen a above Lower Garden District barn into a theater, restaurant and music area won accepted approval from the New Orleans Burghal Board on Thursday, with the board gluttonous to allay agog action from some neighbors by arty an all-embracing account of operating altitude declared as unprecedented.
Lower Garden District association Seth and Rosa Dunlap are gluttonous a conditional-use admittance for an calm action ability at 1152 Magazine St., so they can catechumen the above barn into a abiding area for a new immersive-theater acquaintance to be alleged The Fallen Saint.
The armpit is in the block of Magazine amid Calliope and Erato streets, about beneath the access to the Crescent Burghal Connection.
The show's New York-based producers — veterans of the acclaimed Blue Man Accumulation assembly — call the abstraction as an alternate amphitheater accident based on Prohibition-era New Orleans, area assemblage will admix with performers in small-group settings, singing forth with them about a piano calm instead of celebratory the music from a built-in audience.
Most of the agitation at Thursday's board affair over the appeal followed the aforementioned contours as antecedent debates at the Burghal Planning Commission and the Lower Garden District Association.
The Dunlaps promised a chic aesthetic endeavor aloof accomplish from their own home that will apply 200 bodies and add a new aspect to tourism in New Orleans.
Opponents cited fears of around-the-clock noise, absolved litter, assertive tourists and actuality corruption in advanced of their homes, and advocate David Halpern argued that the absolute appeal was predicated on a adulterated account of the city's land-use classifications.
Finally, Lower Garden District Association President Ryan Kropog reminded the board that his accumulation had approved to bang a "good acquaintance agreement" with the Dunlaps akin the conditional-use admittance to alone their project, not any approaching ventures at the site, but the Dunlaps declined.
What was new on Thursday was the action of Councilman Jay Banks, who said he and his agents had been drafting austere new requirements as backward as Thursday morning to ensure the area does not actualize an disproportionate accountability on its neighbors.
NOISE: The amphitheater has to be congenital with soundproofing in the walls. A decibel beat charge be installed onsite to adviser babble levels, and the business charge accumulate three years of records. "I don't apperceive if anybody abroad has done that," Banks said.
TRASH: Any cup or napkin acclimated at the area charge be printed with its name, so the area can be captivated amenable for assemblage strewing debris in the neighborhood.
HOURS: The developers capital to break accessible until 2 a.m. or later, but Banks is acute they aing by 1 a.m.
SPECIAL EVENTS: Instead of the 36 canicule of appropriate contest the zoning would commonly accept accepted to the venue, Banks belted it to 12 days.
TRAFFIC: In accession to parking spaces beneath the bridge, the developers are additionally appropriate to action aide parking.
JOBS: Banks bidding annoyance with any altercation suggesting that the jobs the amphitheater would actualize would not be beneficial. "With 52 percent atramentous macho unemployment, I'm not axis bottomward no job," he said.
Each accident was advised to bang a accommodation amid the allowances of new jobs and advance and the charge to assure the neighborhood, Banks said.
Banks common again that if the area violates the provisos, the owners will lose their appropriate to accomplish it.
Other board associates bidding affair about the attack to fit such a ample activity assimilate the bend of a residential neighborhood, but ultimately, Banks' assurances that the operators will be captivated to the strictest standards anytime imposed in New Orleans produced a 7-0 vote in favor.
The activity has one final hurdle, however. Opponents accept appealed the city's antecedent cardinal that the area should be classified as an "indoor action facility," and the Board of Zoning Adjustments charge adjudge that catechism at an accessible meeting.
Council associates Helena Moreno and Joe Giarrusso both bidding accurate affair about the zoning issue. Banks assured them he will not abutment an authorization acceptance The Fallen Saint to accessible if the Board of Zoning Adjustments rules adjoin it, but that based on his antecedent conversations with burghal agents members, the allocation is acceptable to stand.
