Q: Align stacked equation in beamer I am looking for a way to align these stacked equations in beamer frame.
\documentclass{beamer}
    \usetheme{CambridgeUS}
    \usecolortheme{beaver}
    \usepackage{array}

   \right. \]\\

    \[\pi_{F} = \left\{

     \end{array}
   \right.
\]
\end{frame}

\end{document}

It looks like this.

A: I would employ an align* environment to align the = symbols and two dcases* environments (code provided by the mathtools package) to spell out the conditions. Observe that the contents of dcases and dcases* environments are rendered in displaymath mode automatically; that's likely desirable for material that's presented visually.

\documentclass{beamer}
    \usetheme{CambridgeUS}
    \usecolortheme{beaver}
    \usepackage{array}
    \usepackage{mathtools} % for 'dcases*' env.
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Basic Game}
\textbf{Payoffs}
\begin{align*}
\pi_{w} &=
\begin{dcases*}
   w & if employed\\
   0 & otherwise
\end{dcases*} \\[1ex] % '[1ex]' for a bit more vertical separation
\pi_{F}^{} &=
\begin{dcases*}
   100 L - \sum_{i=1}^{m} w_{i} & if employing\\
   0  & otherwise
\end{dcases*}
\end{align*}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Addendum to address the OP's follow-up question: There are almost certainly several ways to achieve the supplemental formatting task. One way would involve using a \parbox, where the width of the parbox is derived from the widest cell in the second dcases* environment.

\documentclass{beamer}
    \usetheme{CambridgeUS}
    \usecolortheme{beaver}
    \usepackage{array,mathtools}
    %% new code, for follow-up query:
    \newlength{\mylen}
    \settowidth{\mylen}{$\displaystyle 100 L - \sum_{i=1}^{m} w_{i}$}
    \newcommand\mybox[1]{\parbox{\mylen}{\raggedright$\displaystyle #1$}}
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Basic Game}

\begin{align*}

\end{dcases*} \\[1ex] % '[1ex]' for a bit more vertical separation
\pi_{F}^{} &=
\begin{dcases*}

Menninger Study Examines Use of Suicide Index Score to Identify Risk Groups, Assess Suicide Risk over Time
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors constitute a complex, often confounding topic for researchers and mental health clinicians alike. Understanding how to treat patients who have considered or attempted suicide is a research priority for Thomas Ellis, PsyD, ABPP, director of Psychology at The Menninger Clinic.
One contribution he's made to the field of suicide research is as co-author of "Using the Suicide Index Score to Predict Treatment Outcomes among Psychiatric Inpatients," a paper recently published by Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, the journal of the American Association of Suicidology.
For the paper, Dr. Ellis and his co-authors examined results from 32 patients' Suicide Index Score (SIS), taken at admission to Menninger and then at two-week intervals throughout inpatient treatment. The SIS was used to classify patients into three categories – wish-to-live (WTL), wish-to-die (WTD) and ambivalent (AMB) – and examined of the three groups' response to treatment over time.
"Not all suicidal patients are the same," said Dr. Ellis. "Some make very serious suicide attempts, while others report that they really don't want to die, even if their behavior may make it look as if they do. With this study, we wanted to see whether assessing the strength of a patient's wish to die might be an important aspect of understanding and helping that patient."
According to Dr. Ellis, this is the first time that the SIS has been used to examine how patients' scores on measures of depression and suicidality change over time.
There were 32 Menninger inpatients in the final sample size. Patients ranged in age from 19 to 67 years old, and 75 percent had attempted suicide at least once. All entered Menninger with active suicide ideation and/or a suicide attempt within the previous year.
With respect to diagnoses, 28 of the patients were diagnosed with primary mood disorders, including major depression, depressive disorder not otherwise specified, bipolar I disorder and bipolar II disorder. The other participants had primary diagnoses of bulimia, panic disorder, anxiety disorder not otherwise specified or posttraumatic stress disorder. The average length of stay was 55 days.
The study data was gathered from these patients' enrollment in a larger trial of the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) protocol, which is "an evidence-based suicide-focused treatment framework" developed by David Jobes, PhD, of The Catholic University of America. Patients in the study received two, 50-minute therapy session each week from therapists trained in the CAMS approach.
Of the patients studied, 15 (47 percent) patients' SIS score put them in the WTL group, 9 (28 percent) in the AMB group and eight (25 percent) in the WTD group.
Patients in the WTL group "reported subclinical levels of suicidal ideation and depression within three to five weeks of CAMS treatment and inpatient care." Patients in the WTD group also achieved similar results. Those in the AMB group, however, "were the only group still reporting clinically significant levels of suicidal ideation at six weeks into CAMS treatment."
Real-world impact
With the patients in the WTL and WTD groups achieving symptom relief, Dr. Ellis said the concern remains those patients in the AMB group and how clinicians can best address their particular needs.
"We don't yet understand how this group is different, but the data show we need to examine their characteristics in new ways so that we can begin to really help them," Dr. Ellis explained. "Focusing on the issue of ambivalence in therapy may be one way to engage them and improve their outcomes."
In the meantime, the study indicates "the SIS appears to predict patients' depression and hopelessness levels at different points in treatment, both of which are constructs heavily linked to suicide." As such, Dr. Ellis said it may be prove to be a useful assessment tool for clinicians who are concerned about accurately evaluating a patient's suicide risk.

"What the hell's wrong with Plackard?" asked Dr David Rummage. "Is he on drugs?"
Liz Wanhope, interim accountable officer of Blithering CCG, looked up from the meeting paper she had been trying to read and towards the door where Martin Plackard, director of buy-in for the STP, had appeared.
Plackard was bouncing into the room in slow motion, as if someone had turned down gravity immediately around him. He wore his usual expression of unbearable smugness but with a new element of dangerously suppressed excitement.
"He's going to explode," said Rummage, enthusiastically. "This could be messy."
To Rummage's disappointment, Plackard failed to detonate.
"Can we start please?" asked Sir Trevor Longstay, chair of the STP strategy committee.
Lesser men might have been defeated by weightlessness. Not Plackard, who slid into the remaining vacant seat just as Sir Trevor called the meeting to order.
Sir Trevor was not in a good mood. There was a crisis in the offing, but not the kind that he liked, where someone would get their feet held to the fire or their career destroyed.
The crisis heading their way, he explained, was news from the centre that STPs were to produce new five year plans.
"They're trying to make us relevant again," he said, clearly irritated.
"Why would they do that?" asked Wanhope, genuinely puzzled. "It's not as if we've done anything to deserve it."
Plackard, who was still showing signs of imminent combustion, could no longer contain himself.
"The STP reset is a fantastic opportunity to build on the success of our last plan," he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "We will be able to refresh the five-year strategy we published two years ago."
The cause of Plackard's agitation was now clear. There would need to be more meaningful stakeholder engagement, more feedback, more messaging, more co-produced initiatives, more unconferences, more infographics, more social media campaigns, more dashboards and more media briefings. Above all, there would be more Plackard.
"No wonder the useless sod is so excited," Rummage thought.
Sir Trevor was keen to move on.
"NHS England and NHS Improvement have promised to loosen their grip on the operational detail. They plan to focus less on assurance and take a more strategic role supporting success at local level, which means…?"
Longstay paused and looked around the table for someone to complete his sentence.
"Which means we have a transitional period to co-produce and mobilise success?" Plackard suggested.
Rummage feigned a coughing fit to cover his laughter. "Sorry, bit of Hobnob caught in the throat," he said.
Longstay studied Plackard carefully for signs of irony. There were none.
Sir Trevor continued: "No, man, it means business as bloody usual. We'll have about two weeks before the first templates arrive demanding to know in detail how we want national bodies to hold us to account for success at local level in a hands-off manner, and a few months before we'll be expected to come up with something more substantial to keep the centre off our backs.
"Meanwhile we have to worry about getting the CCG and the acute trust out of special measures and think of something else to sell to meet our PFI commitments."
"I think you can trust me to come up with a realistic, sorry, I mean a credible plan," Plackard replied.
More coughing from Rummage, who appeared to have inhaled another biscuit.
"We're depending on you, Plackard," said Sir Trevor, pausing for a moment to let the gravity of that statement sink in.

This treatment is fast, safe, and effective as the Focus lens array reaches a precise depth of the skin, so that during each pulse, 10% of the skin is being treated at the high energy picosecond (one trillionth of s second) Focus level, while the lower level energy is treating the remaining 90% of the skin. This allows a deeper penetration to the dermal area under the skin, thus promoting collagen and elastin growth while also stimulating a non-traumatic tissue healing response. This results in better outcomes with essentially no downtime. Wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, fine lines, and non-traumatic scars are visibly improved.
This PicoSure™ Focus treatment is considered a "lunch-time" laser treatment as it is approximately 15 minutes in duration with no downtime. The PicoSure™ Focus treatment is usually a series of four consecutive treatments, spaced four weeks apart. This treatment is safe for most skin types and can be applied to face, hands, décolleté, and arms. Call today to schedule a free consultation with our registered nurse.
I'm thrilled with my results! After only three quick and relatively pain free treatments my mature, sun damaged skin looks amazing. My lines and pores have been minimized, my skin tone is even and tighter. Dr. Fortier and Yolanda have worked their magic and peeled back the hands of time. Much better outcome than the peels, dermabrasion and IPL laser (from another practitioner) that I had previously tried. Thanks for making the whole experience pleasant!
I am writing to you to rave about the results that I have achieved as a result of treatment for skin revitalization on my face and hands with PicoSure Focus Lens Array. The difference in my face regarding elimination of wrinkles and fine lines has been very impressive and I have already received compliments from friends and family asking what I have done. Additionally, the age spots on my hands have disappeared and they look tremendously younger!

Q: Scala unique sequence In Scala (2.10), I'd like an immutable SeqLike collection (supporting indexing) which offers a SetLike interface to the user, and won't allow duplicate elements. Ideally, this would implement both SetLike and SeqLike, but this isn't possible, so I have to pick one. My first idea was as follows:
sealed class IndexableSet[A] ( private val values : Seq[A] )
    extends Set[A]
    with SetLike[A,IndexableSet[A]]
{
    override def empty : IndexableSet[A] = new IndexableSet[A]( Seq[A]() )

    def + ( elem : A ) : IndexableSet[A] = values.contains( elem ) match
    {
        case true => this
        case false => new IndexableSet[A]( values :+ elem )
    }

    def - ( elem : A ) : IndexableSet[A] = values.contains( elem )
    {
        case true => new IndexableSet[A]( values.filter( _ != elem ) )
        case false => this
    }

    def iterator = values.iterator

    def contains( elem : A ) = values.contains( elem )

    def apply( index : Int ) = values( index )

    def length : Int = values.size

    def contents : Seq[A] = values
}

This exposes a suitable interface, but not sortability (no sortBy or sorted)
I'm wondering, therefore, whether to change my implementation to something which implements Seq and SeqLike instead, and fakes the Set interface:
sealed class UniqueSeq[A] private ( private val values : IndexedSeq[A] )
    extends SeqLike[A,UniqueSeq[A]]
    with Seq[A]
    with GenericTraversableTemplate[A,UniqueSeq]
{
    def apply( idx : Int ) : A = values( idx )

    def iterator = values.iterator

    def length = values.length

    override def companion: GenericCompanion[UniqueSeq] = new GenericCompanion[UniqueSeq]()
    {
        def newBuilder[A]: Builder[A, UniqueSeq[A]] = new Builder[A, UniqueSeq[A]]
        {
            val elems = new ArrayBuffer[A]()
            def +=(a:A) = { elems += a; this }
            def clear() { elems.clear }
            def result(): UniqueSeq[A] = new UniqueSeq[A](elems)
        }
    }

    def + ( elem : A ) : UniqueSeq[A] = values.contains( elem ) match
    {
        case true => this
        case false => new UniqueSeq[A]( values :+ elem )
    }

    def - ( elem : A ) : UniqueSeq[A] = values.contains( elem ) match
    {
        case true => new UniqueSeq[A]( values.filter( _ != elem ) )
        case false => this
    }
}

I'm not sure which is better - or whether there's another way. I know there are things like TreeSet but the SortedSet trait doesn't offer the critical indexability.
So the questions are:

*

*Is there a clear winner between these two implementations?

*Is there another way, which is better, in the standard collections?

A: I would create a SeqLike backed by a Seq. Override any functions which add elements to add the element to the underlying Seq followed by a call to distinct to eliminate duplicates.

A: I'd prefer the second solution, possibly modified to maintain both a Set and a Seq internally:
sealed class UniqueSeq[A] private ( values : IndexedSeq[A], valueSet : Set[A] )
    extends SeqLike[A,UniqueSeq[A]]
    with Seq[A]
    with GenericTraversableTemplate[A,UniqueSeq]
{
    def apply( idx : Int ) : A = values( idx )

    def iterator = values.iterator

    def length = values.length

    override def companion: GenericCompanion[UniqueSeq] = new GenericCompanion[UniqueSeq]()
    {
        def newBuilder[A]: Builder[A, UniqueSeq[A]] = new Builder[A, UniqueSeq[A]]
        {
            val elems = new ArrayBuffer[A]()
            def +=(a:A) = { elems += a; this }
            def clear() { elems.clear }
            def result(): UniqueSeq[A] = new UniqueSeq[A](elems)
        }
    }

    def + ( elem : A ) : UniqueSeq[A] = valueSet.contains( elem ) match
    {
        case true => this
        case false => new UniqueSeq[A]( values :+ elem, valueSet + elem )
    }

    def - ( elem : A ) : UniqueSeq[A] = valueSet.contains( elem ) match
    {
        case true => new UniqueSeq[A]( values.filter( _ != elem ), valueSet - elem )
        case false => this
    }
}

A: The following code works in my application.  It mixes your code with code from this question:
Create a custom scala collection where map defaults to returning the custom collection?
class Unique[A] private (list: Vector[A], set: Set[A]) extends Traversable[A]
    with TraversableLike[A, Unique[A]]
    with GenericTraversableTemplate[A, Unique]
{
    def apply(index: Int): A = list(index)
    override def companion: GenericCompanion[Unique] = Unique
    def foreach[U](f: A => U) { list foreach f }
    override def seq = list

    def +(elem: A): Unique[A] = {
        if (set.contains(elem)) this
        else new Unique(list :+ elem, set + elem)
    }

    def -(elem: A): Unique[A] = {
        if (set.contains(elem)) new Unique(list.filter(_ != elem), set - elem)
        else this
    }

    def --(elems: Traversable[A]): Unique[A] = {
        val set = elems.toSet
        val values2 = list.filterNot(set.contains)
        new Unique(values2, values2.toSet)
    }

    def ++(elems: Traversable[A]): Unique[A] = {
        val list2 = elems.filterNot(set.contains)
        val values2 = list ++ list2
        new Unique(values2, values2.toSet)
    }

    def contains(elem: A): Boolean = set.contains(elem)

    def zipWithIndex: Traversable[(A, Int)] = list.zipWithIndex
}

object Unique extends TraversableFactory[Unique] {
    def newBuilder[A] = new UniqueBuilder[A]

    implicit def canBuildFrom[A]: CanBuildFrom[Coll, A, Unique[A]] = {
        new CanBuildFrom[Coll, A, Unique[A]] {
           def apply(): Builder[A, Unique[A]] = new UniqueBuilder()
           def apply(from: Coll): Builder[A, Unique[A]] = apply()
        }
    }

    class UniqueBuilder[A] extends Builder[A, Unique[A]] {
        private val list = Vector.newBuilder[A]
        private val set = new HashSet[A]()

        def += (elem: A): this.type = {
            if (!set.contains(elem)) {
                list += elem
                set += elem
            }
            this
        }

        def clear() {
            list.clear()

All the best Citadel online casinos make it easy to join up because you can complete the transaction right through your bank account. Essentially, when you have a Citadel account, you can move real money in the same way that many other banks allow you to use your account to pay real bills. You simply initiate the transaction at the site and let your bank know where the money is going.
When you play at online casinos and slot machines that accept Citadel, you'll have to input your personal information, such as your name and email, as well as information about your Citadel account. Once you do that, you're money will move from your account and into the secure casino account that you just set up. Your real cash deposits will likely qualify you for a welcome bonus as well that you can make the most of on the casino after joining.
As long as you're relying on a Canadian Citadel account, you should have no trouble at all completing your deposit so you can begin playing online slots. The process is quick and easy, unless you have an account from a country like the United States, where payments can become blocked.

The top online slots sites accepting Citadel are safe and reliable to use, because they have the very best safeguards in place. That's because these locations have the best banking security methods in place, before you ever deposit any money into your account.
Citadel slot machine sites are also required to maintain licenses from the country that they operate out of. This is further protection for players against any attempt by the casino to create unfair play conditions. One of the conditions for licensing is that the casino is regularly audited and checked for fairness. The check makes sure the online slots are fair to play, and that you aren't wasting real money on machines that aren't designed to let you win.
While signing up and depositing your money into online slots sites accepting Citadel, you might be asked to provide your identification as well. This isn't to try and rip you off, but to make sure that you're a Canadian player and that you can legally participate at the casino. This is an important step to help keep players honest and it helps deter untrustworthy players from visiting the site at all.

William Rufus – His Death
September 10, 2012 / Amanda Moore / 1 Comment
Who killed young William Rufus?
The Rufus Stone
The life of King William Rufus is inextricably bound to the county of Hampshire but it is his death in Hampshire's New Forest that seems to have captured the imagination of every schoolchild in England. Quite possibly, because of its unusual circumstances, it is the one royal death that we all remember.
William Rufus knew Hampshire well. On hearing the news that his father, King William I, was dying, he hurried from St Gervaise in France to Southampton, from where he rode quickly to Winchester.
Winchester held the treasury and William Rufus was determined that he would control the fortune amassed there. Like his father before him, Winchester became his base and from here he extended his father's feudal system including a significant strengthening of the Forest Laws.
The Forest Laws were a set of laws instigated by William the Conqueror, a great lover of hunting. This operated outside the common law, and served to protect game animals and their forest habitat from destruction. The penalties for breaking the various laws were severe but under Rufus they became even more so. He handed out death and mutilation as the penalties for interference with the King's deer.
Killing a deer was punishable by death. Those that shot at a deer had their hands cut off and blinding was the penalty for disturbing the deer.
That William Rufus should be killed in the New Forest, whilst out hunting therefore, is a bitter irony.
His immoral conduct offended everyone, but especially the Church, who were particularly angry when he defied the Pope and banished Anselm, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to Normandy.
The circumstances of his death were captured in an account by the ecclesiastical historian, Vitalis in "Patrologiae Cursus Completus" and by Malmesbury in "Gesta Regum Anglorum".
Now each of these accounts are extremely colourful but somewhere in them lies a vestige of the truth.
It is said that the night before William was killed that he had a vision of his own death and that when his friend,FitzHamon came to breakfast with him, he too recounted a terrifying vision delivered by a monk, which saw the King trying to destroy a crucifix, which in turn set upon him. Now one might be forgiven for thinking that the ground was being laid by his friend, so that his death would be seen as something supernatural…
However William Rufus was undeterred and looking forward to a good day's hunting, called for the horses. He handed Sir Walter Tyrell his arrows saying as he did so, "The keenest arrows to the best marksman."
Just before they set out yet more messages of bad omens were brought to the party, again one can't help but think, that if these tales are in any way true, that the company were setting out their story, ready for the questions they would surely face when news of the King's death broke.
Interestingly, Archbishop Anselm, who had been sent into exile by William Rufus, heard of his death the day before it happened, a messenger arrived at Lyons with the news on the 1st August….
Included in the hunting party was Prince Henry, William of Breteuil, Walter Tyrell and FitzHamon. There may well have been others, the accounts are not clear but when the fatal arrow was fired, Malmesbury says that Rufus and Tyrell were alone. The evening sun made the King take poor aim at a deer that ventured out into the open glade and it was at that moment that Tyrell let off an arrow that glanced off an oak tree and hit William in the chest killing him.
All sorts of tales describe what happened next. It is said his corpse was abandoned in the forest. The knights and nobles fleeing from the incident, whether out of fear that they might in some way be accused of regicide or as it is recorded to pay their respects to Prince Henry is not known. Walter Tyrell, whose arrow killed him, certainly escaped very quickly to France, where he disappeared never to be seen again.
One story is that he stopped at a Blacksmith's at the first stream he came to and had his horse's shoes put on backwards so that he could not be followed, this place is still known as Tyrell's Ford.
King William Rufus Carted Through the Streets
Whatever happened, it is said that the body of William Rufus was found by a charcoal burner called Purkis, who gathered him up and laid him onto a two wheeled wood cart and proceeded to wheel his dead sovereign to the capital, Winchester some twenty five miles distant.
News of the King's death had traveled fast and people gathered at the city to see William Rufus carried to the Minster in a crude cart.
Quite how he was buried is uncertain, some accounts say he was given the burial of a murderer with no mass said, no bell tolled, Malmesbury however says that he received a funeral with the full rites of the church. He was buried under the tower of the church, which subsequently collapsed, another omen and seen as just retribution for him receiving a christian burial…
The spot where he died was marked with a stone when the oak tree, from which the arrow is said to have 'glanced' died.
The inscription on the stone reads;
"Here stood the oak tree, on which an arrow shot by Sir Walter Tyrell at a stag, glanced and struck King William the Second, surnamed Rufus, on the breast, of which he instantly died, on the second day of August, anno 1100. King William the Second, surnamed Rufus, being slain, as before related, was laid in a cart, belonging to one Purkis, and drawn from hence, to Winchester,
and buried in the Cathedral Church, of that city."
No one shed tears for William Rufus, the stories that preceded the hunt, the manner of his death, the fleeing of the rest of the hunting party, the abandonment of the body, the role that the 'insignificant' and yet named, charcoal burner played and his hasty and simple burial, all seem to point at a suspicious death, a murder.
His brother, Prince Henry and the rest of the country all had good reason to want him dead and fate in one guise or the other seems to have played into their hands.

Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud storage services and apps, and the reason for this is that it has so many useful features that all of its uses have yet to be discovered. In the law firm, Dropbox can be used in a variety of ways.
Files can obviously be stored there but it has many more uses than just simple file storage. Large files such as video files, audio files, presentations and more are perfect for Dropbox since it is one of the only cloud storage providers that have no file size limits. Documents can be stored, and even worked on, directly in Dropbox. This is useful for collaborating over documents with co-workers, assistants or clients.
As with most cloud services, many lawyers have security and ethics concerns. These concerns are mostly due to over-hype by the media. Dropbox utilizes 248-bit encryption for all files, during storage as well as during transfer. It also offers two-factor authentication which makes it nearly impossible to be hacked, since even if a hacker discovers your password, he will need access to your mobile phone to be able to access the account. For added security, files can be encrypted on your hard drive using an app such as TrueCrypt. Then, when it is stored in Dropbox, it is encrypted again so you receive double encryption for files.
Dropbox is perfect for sharing files and much easier than using email. Plus, as mentioned before, there are no file size limits with Dropbox, but email does have file size limits. If you need to send a document to a client, it can be dragged and dropped into a Dropbox folder and it will appear in the client's Dropbox folder immediately. The client can review it, print it and store it. By using a signing program such as Docusign, it can even be legally signed and then returned to the lawyers Dropbox folder, thus eliminating the need for timely trips to and from the law firm office.
There are many uses for Dropbox in the law office and I'm sure there are many more that will be discovered in the future, especially as more law firms and attorneys open up to the many benefits of the cloud.


I continue to be a Mystic in Motion! I've got my head in boxes and drawers and cupboards sorting what to take, give away and discard. We are on the move.
The quote from last week – Deep down we all know that all life is on loan to us. – continued to follow me in the days ahead.
I went to the AGO and found a painting that spoke to me of the hope, the light that lies deep within me. I believe that within my depths there is hope, laughter and a way of travelling lightly. I'm so sure that Jesus had an infectious laugh! The painting is by Joan Mitchell an abstract expressionist. I responded to the lightness being at the bottom. No matter what, there is hope, there is light under it all. I can see and feel that lightness within me. I look forward to more and more of it breaking through my depths.
Yesterday, in my memoir writing group we were given one of Rumi's poem's 'The Guest House'. I will share it with you at the end of the blog. Again it spoke of holding life lightly, welcoming all that comes our way as guests, being at the door to welcome whatever comes with warmth and laughter. I believe that our life on earth is about learning how to live well, to live with compassion and kindness. That involves learning how to suffer well. Our lives are woven with times of pain, all sorts of different kinds of pain and we are, I am, to learn how to navigate the rough waters of life with integrity, with care and compassion, with even a welcome smile. That gives me enough to work on for the rest of my life!
So learning about 'Travelling Lightly – Dwelling Deeply' continues. Who has come as a guest to my house today? Who has knocked on your door?

Antagonizers ATL "Working Class Street Punk" LP
12" BLOOD RED W/BLACK SMOKE VINYL
"Working Class Street Punk" LP
© Pirates Press Records
Antagonizers ATL are Atlanta's premier streetpunk, rock n' roll outfit. The music appeals to a wide audience; featuring tinges of straight-ahead Punk, Oi!, and Rock n Roll, with even a dose of Soul tossed in! No surprise, knowing that they are a 4-piece of veteran rockers from such bands as HR (Bad Brains), Follow For Now, A.P.A and Vibram 94. Laced with sing along fist-pumping choruses, high energy stage antics, and always plenty of crowd participation- they always leave fans wanting more.
They have toured with The Pietasters, Infa Riot, The Queers and Gang Green, and shared the stage with Rancid, Agnostic Front, GBH, Cro-Mags, Sham 69, Tiger Army, Vibrators, Cockney Rejects, Templars, Slaughter and The Dogs and more. It's clear that they refuse to be pinned down to one sub-sect of punk.
Antagonizers ATL have appeared on numerous Oi! compilations, and a split EP on Rebel Sound with DDC (Fat Skins members). Following this top-notch offer, they also have several other split singles coming up in 2016, with England's The Crack, and a few other other well-known Punk and Oi! Bands; and even a Soul/Ska band.
Pick up this debut LP today, and see what everyone is talking about.
Digital download is included.

Shirokane (白金) is a district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Currently it consists of six chōme. According to Minato, as of November 1, 2007, the population in the neighborhood is 14,840. The term Shirokane narrowly refers to Shirokane 1-chōme to Shirokane 6-chōme, but is sometimes used to include the larger neighborhood formerly known as Shiba-Shirokane (芝白金), which encompasses part of Shirokanedai and Takanawa as well as Shirokane. This article deals with the place in the narrow definition.

OverviewEdit
Shirokane is one of the most wealthy neighborhoods in Japan which located in the southwestern part of Minato, Tokyo. It is a quiet residential area that is abundant in undeveloped green space. And also this area is known for its one of the most expensive real estate fee for living in Japan. Shirokane has boundaries with the neighborhoods of Minami-Azabu, Shirokanedai, Takanawa and Ebisu. The Prefectural Highway 305 (Ebisu-dori) divides into odd-numbered (1, 3, 5-chōmes) and even-numbered (2, 4, 6-chōmes) subdistricts designated as industrial and high-rise residential areas, respectively. Along Furukawa river, small factories and shopping streets are developed, and upon the southern hill, a quiet residential area is developed with apartments and schools such as Seishin Joshi Gakuin. The recent opening of a subway allowed the area centered at Shirokane-Takanawa Station to undergo a large redevelopment.
There are forest areas owned by academic institutions and private companies such as Seishin Joshi Gakuin and the Kitasato Institute. With the Institute for Nature Study and the Institute of Medical Science in Shirokanedai, these areas forms one of the largest green districts in the special wards of Tokyo. This large green area traces back to daimyō's mansions which existed in Edo period; later, industrialists made their residences in this place, which gave rise to the well-known upper-class neighborhood.
During the Ōei era (1394–1428), a government official of the Southern Dynasty who settled here became wealthy. His nickname was Shirokane Chōja (白金長者), which means "man who possesses much 'white gold' " (白金), a reference to silver. Thus the name of this location is the "Silver District".

IRS Statements and Announcements
Updated on 12/28/2021 – This news release has been updated to extend disaster relief until February 15, 2022.
Updated on 10/20/2021 to add Dauphin County
Updated on 10/15/2021 to add Fulton, Huntingdon, Luzerne and Schuylkill counties
Updated on 9/27/2021 to add Bedford and Northampton counties
PA-2021-05, September 14, 2021
Pennsylvania — Victims of remnants of Hurricane Ida that began August 31, 2021 now have until February 15, 2022, to file various individual and business tax returns and make tax payments, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.
Following the recent disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the IRS announced today that affected taxpayers in certain areas will receive tax relief.
Individuals and households affected by remnants of Hurricane Ida that reside or have a business in Bedford, Bucks, Chester, Dauphin, Delaware, Fulton, Huntingdon, Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, Schuylkill and York counties qualify for tax relief. The declaration permits the IRS to postpone certain tax-filing and tax-payment deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. For instance, certain deadlines falling on or after August 31, 2021, and before February 15, 2022, are postponed through February 15, 2022.
This means that individuals who had a valid extension to file their 2020 returns, due to run out on October 15, will now have until February 15, 2022 to file. The IRS noted, however, that because tax payments related to these 2020 returns were due on May 17, 2021, those payments are not eligible for this relief.
Businesses with extensions also have the additional time including, among others, calendar-year partnerships and S corporations whose 2020 extensions run out on September 15, 2021 and calendar-year corporations whose 2020 extensions run out on October 15, 2021.
The February 15, 2022, deadline applies to the quarterly estimated tax payment, normally due on September 15 and to the quarterly payroll and excise tax returns normally due on November 1, 2021. It also applies to tax-exempt organizations, operating on a calendar-year basis, that had a valid extension due to run out on November 15, 2021. Also, penalties on deposits due on or after August 31, 2021, and before September 15, 2021, will be abated as long as the tax deposits were made by September 15, 2021.
If an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date that falls within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the telephone number on the notice to have the IRS abate the penalty. For information on services currently available, visit the IRS operations and services page at IRS.gov/coronavirus.
The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies filing and payment relief. But affected taxpayers who reside or have a business located outside the covered disaster area should call the IRS disaster hotline at 866-562-5227 to request this tax relief.
The localities listed above constitute a covered disaster area for purposes of Treas. Reg. §301.7508A-1(d)(2) and are entitled to the relief detailed below.
Under section 7508A, the IRS gives affected taxpayers until February 15, 2022 to file most tax returns (including individual, corporate, and estate and trust income tax returns; partnership returns, S corporation returns, and trust returns; estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax returns; annual information returns of tax-exempt organizations; and employment and certain excise tax returns), that have either an original or extended due date occurring on or after August 31, 2021, and before February 15, 2022, are granted additional time to file through February 15, 2022.
Affected taxpayers that have an estimated income tax payment originally due on or after August 31, 2021, and before February 15, 2022, are postponed through February 15, 2022 will not be subject to penalties for failure to pay estimated tax installments as long as such payments are paid on or before February 15, 2022.
The IRS also gives affected taxpayers until February 15, 2022 to perform other time-sensitive actions described in Treas. Reg. § 301.7508A-1(c)(1) and Rev. Proc. 2018-58, 2018-50 IRB 990 (December 10, 2018), that are due to be performed on or after August 31, 2021, and before February 15, 2022, are postponed through February 15, 2022.
This relief also includes the filing of Form 5500 series returns that were required to be filed on or after August 31, 2021, and before February 15, 2022, are postponed through February 15, 2022 in the manner described in section 8 of Rev. Proc. 2018-58. The relief described in section 17 of Rev. Proc. 2018-58, pertaining to like-kind exchanges of property, also applies to certain taxpayers who are not otherwise affected taxpayers and may include acts required to be performed before or after the period above.
Unless an act is specifically listed in Rev.

For Metro Foreclosure Rates, Las Vegas Continues to Hold the Top Spot
More than half of the cities with the highest foreclosures rates are located in California, Nevada and Arizona.
Las Vegas continues to be the metropolitan area with the highest number of people who could not avoid foreclosure during the first half of 2010.
According to RealtyTrac, the city saw 6.6 percent of its homes see a foreclosure filing during the first six months of this year, which comes to about one in 15 properties. The firm noted that is more than five times greater than the U.S. average.
"The fragile stability achieved in many local housing markets hinges on improvements in the underlying economy, specifically job growth," said James Saccacio, RealtyTrac chief executive officer.
Furthermore, of the top-20 metropolitan foreclosure rates, Nevada, Arizona and California account for more than half, RealtyTrac said.
The unemployment rate in the country has remained near double digits for a number of months, although it has seen some improvement. The government said that June posted a 9.5 percent jobless figure, down from the 9.7 percent seen the month before.

Michigan, New York and Washington DC headline this month's roundup, with the latter becoming the seventh US jurisdiction to legalise sports betting
Michigan, New York and Washington DC headline this month's roundup, with the latter becoming the seventh jurisdiction to legalise sports betting. With Segev LLP
Michigan: Snyder puts the brakes on
In December, outgoing Governor Rick Snyder vetoed Rep. Brandt Iden's House Bill 4926, the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, following its approval by the Michigan Senate and House. Under five-year licenses, the state's tribal and commercial casinos would have paid 8% of GGR generated from games such as poker, blackjack, slots and other card and table games. This had been approved alongside HB5881, which would have amended the 1996 Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act and levied an 8% GGR tax on sports wagering. Snyder said in a statement that the bills had "unknown revenue implications" and needed closer studying. Iden told Sports Handle that he was "surprised and disappointed."
Pennsylvania: Parx goes live
On 10 January, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) gave Parx Casino permission to launch its Kambi-powered on property sportsbook. Kambi now powers three of the state's four live sportsbooks. Penn National Gaming's William Hill-powered offering at the Hollywood Casino launched in November and the Rush Street-operated, Kambi-powered SugarHouse and Rivers casinos went live on December 15. The Keystone State became the fourth to fully legalize online gambling in October 2017 after Governor Tom Wolf signed an expansive gambling package into law.The legislation allows for the regulation of online poker, slots and table games within the state's boundaries.10 of the state's 13 approved casino operators have applied for licenses in at least one of the four categories. 11 interactive gaming licenses (five online poker, three online slots and three online table games) remain up for grabs among licensed operators. Each interactive gambling licensee is allowed to partner with multiple interactive platforms or skins.
New York: Online poker returns
In early January 2019, Chair of the Senate Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee, Senator Joseph Addabbo, filed Senate Bill 18, which aims to allow all those aged 21 and above to play poker online. S00018 looks to issue up to 11 online poker licences, with only licensed video lottery gaming facilities and Class III (tribal) gaming licensees eligible. Each licensee would have to pay an up-front fee of $10m for a 10-year licence, as well as paying a 15% tax on gross gaming revenue. Despite the cap on the number of available licences, each entity would be permitted to operate an unlimited number of skins under its licence, provided each partner is approved by the New York State Gaming Commission. The legislation however includes a so-called bad actor clause, which would block companies that offered online gaming in the US after December 31, 2006 – when the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) was enacted – from participating in the market.
Washington DC: Sports betting passed but subject to hearing
Became the seventh jursidiction to legalise sports betting after the D.C. City Council approved the Sports Wagering Lottery Amendment Act on 18 December 2018. It permits retail and digital sports betting in the capital, which has a population of almost 700,000 and teams in each of the major sports leagues. The bill will only allow mobile wagering via the D.C. Lottery's Intralot powered platform. However, a number of designated facilities, such as the city's major sports arenas, will be able to sign their own partners which will be able to offer their mobile services to customers within a two-block exclusivity zone, inside of which no competition is allowed. The four stadiums that can apply for Class A licences and offer betting are the 82,000-capacity FedEx Field, the 41,000-capacity Nationals Park, and Capital One Arena and Audi Field which can both hold just over 20,000 fans. The emergency resolution which would have enabled the Act to be implemented within months was however withdrawn by DC City Council chairman Phil Mendelson on 8 January 2019. meaning a public hearing will be held later this year. This hearing will examine matters such as whether the DC Lottery should be allowed to gift its sports betting technology supply contract to Intralot without running a procurement process.
West Virginia: Wagering goes mobile
West Virginia approved legal sports betting in March 2018 with live, on-site betting getting under way at Hollywood Casino on 30 August. The bill authorizing sports betting allows for online and mobile wagering, and Delaware North-owned Mardi Gras and Wheeling Island casinos launched the first online and mobile app on 27 December 2018, the Miomni Gaming-powered BetLucky.com.
Missouri: Two legislators in Missouri have pre-filed sports betting bills for the 2019 legislative session. SB 44, introduced by Sen Denny Hoskins, presents an interesting twist by foregoing the typical integrity fee in favor of a quarterly 0.5% fee appropriated for upgrades to the state's sports stadiums. The bill would also authorize sports betting via Internet and mobile devices. The other measure, HB 119, introduced by Rep Cody Smith, would authorize interactive betting, but only for people who are physically located at licensed facilities.
Kentucky: Staying on track
Members of the Interim Joint Committee on Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations held a hearing on 12 October to discuss the authorization of sports betting in the state. The proposition has been well received in the legislature, and the outlook moving forward remains positive.Topics covered during the October hearing ranged from tax rates to integrity feels to mobile betting. A bipartisan group of legislators is expected to pre-file a sports betting bill prior to the start of next year's legislative session. In September, the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, and the PGA Tour all registered to lobby during the 2019 General Assembly and are expected to push for a 1% integrity fee, which Committee Chairman Adam Koenig adamantly opposes. Provided the integrity fee doesn't become a stumbling block, Kentucky could authorise sports betting as early as January.
MA, KS, NY, OR also hopeful for 2019
Efforts to fast track a sports betting measure in Massachusetts fell short in 2018, but Rep. Joe Wagner believes his initiative to legalise will be up for a vote in early 2019. Gov. Charlie Baker says sports betting will be addressed in January.
Likewise, legislators in both Kansas and Missouri considered multiple sports betting bills in 2018, and their sponsors are hopeful for approval in 2019. In New York, the sponsor of a Senate bill that would create rules for sports betting in casinos and online, John Bonacic, is leaving office at the end of the year, and it is unclear who will
take on the initiative once he's gone. Finally, Oregon's state's lottery is hoping to expand its mobile gambling offering to include sports betting by the third quarter of 2019, but the lottery will first need the legislature to approve a taxation scheme. No bills have surfaced yet.
Indiana: Signs of Life
Following a hearing on 19 October, the Interim Study Committee on Public Policy voted to recommend legislation authorising sports betting to Indiana. While the vote would indicate that the state is taking steps toward legalisation, Committee Chairman cautioned that there are "many perils down the pathway before it becomes law."
Illinois – Slow and steady
The outlook for regulated sports betting in Illinois remains good, but lawmakers are in no rush to push through legislation. Rep. Lou Lang cautioned at a hearing held on 17 October that the state should go slowly and make sure they get it right, and he referenced Pennsylvania's unusually high 36% sports betting tax as an example of errantly moving forward without fully understanding the economics of the industry. Lang also said they need to give careful consideration toward including an integrity fee. He rejected the idea of paying leagues for the "privilege of showing your games," but is open to a fee that actually contributes toward preserving integrity in sports. Finally, Lange urged caution in deciding who should be allowed to offer sports betting, pointing out that a state that houses almost 30,000 video gambling machines must be mindful of providing too much access to walk-up betting.
Ohio: Midterm election not good for sports betting
The election of Mike DeWine as Ohio's next governor does not bode well for advocates of regulating sports betting. DeWine has consistently opposed efforts to legalise sports betting, while his opponent, Richard Cordray had indicated that he would consider legalisation.
In August, Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof said Senate Bill 316, which would provide for legalised sports betting in the state, would be studied in a committee after the midterm elections in November. Obhof further predicted that the bill would not likely hit the Senate floor until 2019. Meanwhile, questions have been raised about whether the legislature even has the right to legalise sports betting in Ohio. The state's constitution prohibits gambling, except under specific circumstances. Other forms of gambling, such as casinos, were only legalised through a constitutional amendment in 2009, and Senator Obhof suggested that sports betting would need to be amended into the constitution by a vote in a similar manner.
Florida: At the mercy of voters
The passage of Amendment 3 on the November ballot makes the legalisation of sports betting a much more difficult task. The amendment puts gambling expansion in the hands of voters, via citizen initiatives, rather than legislators. Because the initiative process requires 60 percent of the votes for passage, the prospects for authorised sports betting in the state are greatly diminished.
Colorado: Still an issue for voters to decide
Despite Attorney General Cynthia Coffman's determination that sports betting is not subject to state constitutional restrictions, at least one of the legislators who supports legalisation is of the mind that the issue should still be decided by voters. In October, Rep. Cole Wist told the Denver Post that, while he is in favor of regulated sports betting, "I think it's important to go back to the voters and make sure it's something that they want." Rep. Wist and Rep. Alec Garnett are hopeful of getting sports betting to a statewide vote in 2019, which would mean legal sports betting would not become a reality until at least 2020. Meanwhile, gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton, a Republican who favors sports betting regulation, lost in the November election.
CA, LA, MD, SC are years away
Proponents of sports betting in California have their sights set on the 2020 ballot. The state has approved signature collection for the most recent measure, which was introduced in June 2018. To land on the 2020 ballet, the proposal needs to garner 585,407 signatures from registered voters by February 2019.
In Louisiana, Sen. Danny Martiny made multiple efforts to get his sports betting bill on the agenda during special sessions, but Gov. John Bel Edwards would have nothing of it. Martiny said he'll make another push in 2019 but is not optimistic.
Maryland's legislature has already passed a bill that would authorise sports betting at the state's casinos and racetracks, but a referendum is necessary for legalisation to become a reality. This year they failed to pass legislation that would put sports betting on the ballot, which means the earliest it could come up for a vote is 2020.
Despite the introduction of a regulatory bill in South Carolina, the state is likely years away from authorising sports betting, which would require a constitutional amendment to become a reality.

On the 08th of October 2014, the official presentation of the Rome Declaration took place at the EurOCEAN 2014 conference, an official event of the Italian EU Presidency.
Setting a vision for seas and ocean science to achieve an ecosystem approach to the management of Europe's marine resources as a fundamental requirement for sustainable Blue Growth, the Rome Declaration sets out four high level goals and actions for delivering this vision.
The four goals comprise: Valuing the Ocean; Capitalizing on European leadership; Advancing ocean knowledge and; Breaking barriers.
"It's a vision that is about connecting science, policy and people", stated Professor Ed Hill, Chair of the Rome Declaration Drafting Group, during the presentation of the Declaration.
The EurOCEAN 2014 conference brought together marine scientists from a broad range of disciplines with policymakers, industry and NGOs preforming a total of 340 participants representing 143 organizations from 31 countries.


New insight into termites' architectural strategies could help us design more energy efficient self-sustaining buildings for humans.
Dr Bagus Muljadi from the University of Nottingham's School of Engineering was instrumental in bringing the multidisciplinary team together to uncover the secrets of termite nests. He says: "We already know that termites' mounds have excellent thermoregulation properties which allow termites - who are sensitive to a change in temperature - to endure hostile environments. The structure of the mounds also allows for effective drainage and gas exchange to occur effectively (after all termites need to breathe). However, the mechanism by which a termite' mound does all those - obviously without relying on large amount of energy for air conditioning - remains poorly understood. In fact, very little scientific literatures discuss the fluid dynamics of the mounds.
From the images they calculated the thickness of the nests' inner and outer walls, as well as the structural details of inner corridors or chambers which termites use to get around the nest.
They found that the nests use 'capillary action' - where liquid flows through small spaces without external help from gravity - that forces rain water from the larger pores to the smaller pores. This ensures the larger pores keep stay open to keep ventilating the nest.

{Compost} Bin, Bake, Bugs
by Darbi | Aug 11, 2015 | Gardening
Yeah, we know it's good for the planet. But what the glossy mags and blog posts don't tell you is that composting has its very dirty downside: bugs and vermin. Here, gardening columnist Darbi Davis lifts the lid (ouch) on composting without the icky live audience. You're welcome.
Recently, while on a job site discussing solutions to creative clothesline design, I found myself witness to a sci-fi-like battle between two native whiptail lizards over a gnarly, partially deceased cockroach. The fierce battle took place among the carrots and the kale and then abruptly paused. It seemed as though surrender was imminent – until the opponent re-emerged from the nearby compost with its own trophy, another writhing roach.
The business meeting was clearly disrupted by the fight but eagerly cheered on by the homeowner, who casually lauded the lizards with, "You go! You get 'em!"
Later, mice were discovered in the same compost pile. It was a fine example of a multitude of personalities mastering the art of co-housing.

The whole episode not only made me think about my new neighbors' plans to compost within 10 feet from the side door to my kitchen, it also made me ponder traditional composting methods – specifically the toss-in-a-pile or bin, and wait for it to bake.
There's no doubt about the environmental upsides to composting. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in 2013 recycling and composting kept prevented 87.2 million tons of material out of landfills, compared to 15 million tons in 1980. The amount of carbon dioxide eliminated was equal to taking over 39 million cars off the road for a year.
But how do you compost, particularly within a town or city, and avoid urban pests? First, learn how to properly manage traditional compost piles. There's more to it than dropping the New York Times filled with coffee grounds and apple peels onto the ground or into a bin. There's a balance that involves temperature, moisture and movement. Regardless of your geographic location, without the equilibrium the result is a stinky, pest-infested, rotten mess that likely won't be going into a garden nearby.
Here, then, are our tips for composting without the icky urban wildlife that can go with it.
1. Bring on the chickens
Successful compost involves a few key ingredients: heat (of which we in southern Arizona are plentiful), moisture (a bit lacking in the desert), and color theory (gradient materials from green to brown). Omar Ore-Giron, owner of Native Roots, an enterprise specializing in passive water harvesting, permaculture, and native gardens, suggests one more ingredient for a pest-free traditional compost pile: chickens. "Every now and then, spread the compost out across the ground for the chickens to pick through. They eat the roaches, break down the compost, and poop, which accelerates the process," says Omar. Speeding up the decay offers less time for pests to establish a community within your homesteaded compost program. This solution adds a few more steps to the process and mouths to feed, but it offers job security to retired hens. That sounds good to us!
2. Be a business owner
After less than a year of pilot testing, the City of Tucson's Environmental Services department started a regular composting service for commercial entities which makes Tucson one of two communities in the state offering food scrap and yard waste removal for businesses. Commercial institutions can arrange to have their compostable items retrieved and taken to a composting site. The compost is then used in government landscaping projects.
How long before the program reaches residents? Programs of this nature are mandated at residential levels in other cities such as San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Their benefits go beyond reducing waste. In tight urban environments and at the residential level, these programs offer opportunities to educate residents resistant to composting, provide convenience, and reduce infestation by urban pests. Let's hope this program expands just as quickly to homeowners.
3. Private enterprise
Private enterprises fill the government void with similar results for those who buy in to the programs. Scraps on Scraps, a private company in Tucson, provides a five-gallon bucket and bi-monthly pick-up of green waste for $13 a month. The green waste is delivered to Las Milpitas Farm at the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, where it heats up and becomes part of the soil network that serves food insecure populations.
Shannon Sartin, co-founder of Scraps on Scraps says: "More and more of our customers are citing this issue [pests] as one of the reasons they want to sign up for our service."
In spite of the rodents and roaches, composting is likely to become integral to our daily lives much like recycling has over the last several decades. An equilibrium of diligence and maintenance will likely be sufficient, but not for everyone. It's important to keep up with pests beyond the simple fruit flies and maggots, which I can live with!
Worm tube in the ground (photo by Lynn Davis)
It's likely that those well-fed whiptales digging in and around your compost, darting past your feet as you cross the yard are feasting on the roaches within – and loving every last bite. But you know what they say about roaches and mice – there's never just one. They do like dark, moist places, and have their place in the environment, and compost is one of them, but not 10 feet from your neighbor's kitchen door.
These suggestions, along with other composting methods such as vermicomposting (composting with worms) or Bokashi (composting via fermentation), offer quicker results, and reduce the pest population. Tucson resident Lynn Davis swears by her "off the ground" compost bins and outdoor worm tubes. She says: "I've never had roaches in my compost. Only the carrion fly larvae, and entomologists say that they're beneficial. I have two rotating bins, one double, one that's all the way off the ground, and another that closes pretty well."
I, on the other hand, will stick to my beloved worms, or sign up for Scraps on Scraps, as well as encourage you to do the same if you live the urban life.

confused hrv shoots up but readiness LOW?
I'm tapering for a weekend race. this morning my rest hr was down. fair enough. my hrv was up quite a lot, fair enough. I only swam last night hardish session but not too much. I expected hrv to go up (get better). however my readiness now says low when I thought it would be high.
"The rise to HRV=78.6 does seem to be adaptation. So the graph requires interpretation then: as the colour goes to red (because of a big change in HRV) but, in fact, in terms of readiness to train then I am good-to-train."
No, probably not. The big uptick means you're unusually parasympathetic. This suggests your body is heavily engaged with recuperation and rebuilding. Fixing things, expanding things, growing tissue so that it'll be able to handle similar stresses in the future more easily. All that takes energy. Training also uses up energy. So the more you train in that state the less your body can adapt.
:-) I knew you were going to say that.
the implication therefore then is that I normally train too hard and should rest more to allow that adaptation to happen more often rather than at the end of a 4-6 week cycle. (and yes I do have rest days in that cycle!).
How do you manage your training blocks and training week??I'm pretty curious since i train in muay thai and i been trying to improve my aerobic fitness.
I always train and i haven't seen much improvement in my aerobic fitness so i decided to just try to maintain my strength and go for a 4 week volume loading block.(1 week introduction,2weeks loading,1 week restoration),but i think i screwed up the restoration phase by not training enough.My HRV was in the 75-80 before the block and by the end of the loading phase it was around 75-63 which made me think that i needed to rest alot during the restoration phase to allow recovery.
@Miyazwa - this is off topic. please start a new thread or contact me directly.

Q: How to encode to Mp4 file with custom output stream on raspberry pi I want to pass my customOutput class to raspberry pi camera function and want to enncode that output to mp4 and save it.
class MyOutput(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.size = 0

    def write(self, s):
        #get h264 encoded frames?
        #decode and encode them to mp4?
        #append to the file?
        self.size += len(s)

    def flush(self):
        print('%d bytes would have been written' % self.size)

class RecordVideo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.camera = PiCamera()

    def startRecording(self, filename, source, recordingTime, format='h264'):
        self.camera.start_recording(MyOutput(), format)
        self.camera.wait_recording(recordingTime)
        self.camera.stop_recording()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    aat = RecordVideo()
    for i in range(10):
        aat.startRecording('testvideo_'+str(i)+'.h264', './', 10, 'h264')

    aat.stopRecording()

Since piCamera plugin doesnt support mp4 encoding out of the box is there a way i can use any plugin and accomplish creating 10 mp4 files.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

A: I was trying to do the same encoding task before but not on raspberry pi and I found that ffmpeg is the best for this kind of job. I found that this question is similar to what you are looking for and I know that ffmpeg has python library and it's quite easy to use maybe you can take a look at it.

Thread: R.E.D. and ANON Create Limited Edition Products to Support Boarding for Breast Cancer
BURLINGTON, Vt. (June 11, 2007)
Action sports brands R.E.D. Protection and ANON Optics today announced that they are creating a limited edition helmet and goggle to benefit Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), the leading non-profit, youth-focused breast cancer awareness foundation that teaches young people the importance of early detection and the value of a healthy lifestyle. The signature helmets and goggles will arrive in select Burton North American retailers this October, which is observed as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"It is so awesome that ANON and R.E.D. have come together to support healthy lifestyles for women, including breast cancer prevention," says Olympic gold medalist Hannah Teter. "I am so stoked to be a spokesperson for this campaign, which raises money and awareness for B4BC!"
"Burton has supported Boarding for Breast Cancer since the foundation's inception, and we are thrilled that this relationship is expanding into the ANON and R.E.D. brands," says Justine Chiara, Executive Director of Boarding for Breast Cancer. "We're also very happy to have Hannah on board as a spokesperson for these products. Not only is she an inspiration to young girls around the world, but she's always the first rider to stop by our booth at the Burton US Open to say hi and grab a wristband and stickers."
B4BC's mobile educational facility can be found on-site at some of the action sports industry's biggest events, including the Burton US Open, US Open of Surf, X Games and Vans Warped Tour. All pre-tax profits from B4BC R.E.D. and ANON product sales will go directly to help fund B4BC's unique youth outreach program.
The R.E.D. B4BC Women's Hi-Fi helmet and ANON B4BC Majestic goggle will retail for $100 and $80, respectively. A favorite of R.E.D. pro athletes, the women's Hi-Fi helmet is incredibly lightweight with a low profile design. Mesh vents, removable ear pads and ASTM 2040/CE 1077 certification are a few of this helmet's key features. The ANON B4BC Majestic goggle is specifically designed for the unique contours of a woman's face for a level of comfort and style unmatched on the hill.
Consumers can find the B4BC R.E.D. and ANON products at Burton Flagship stores in New York City, Chicago (opening in late summer of 2007) and Burlington, Vermont. Both the helmet and goggle will also be available at store.burton.com and select Burton Authorized Retailers nationwide.
