I painted my cabinets. My SOLID OAK cabinets. Please don't shun me. I thought I'd post my idea first on Facebook just to see what reaction I'd get out of my friends and family. My fellow designers who realize that golden oak cabinets scream "1980's" were all for it. Others, of course, think that it is a crime to paint oak and that crazies like myself should be locked up for life. To those people I kindly gave permission to refuse any food that comes out of my kitchen in protest. I'm real considerate like that.
Now, this bit of information that I am about to share may shock some of you, particularly you oak-lovers. Brace yourself...are you sitting down? Okay, here it is. Painting over oak does not ACTUALLY remove any of the quality or durability of the oak itself. I know, shocking!! But it's TRUE! YES, my cabinets are STILL OAK even if you can't see the grain! Okay. Take a moment to digest this information and then read on once your heart rate has returned to normal.
Step 1 - Clean all of your cabinets well. I find this easier to do while the doors are still hanging. Scrub them down good with a grease cutting cleaner. You'd be surprised the invisible residue that can build up in the kitchen! If you don't remove the gunk, it is likely to come off later, bringing your new paint job with it.
Step 2 - Remove handles and knobs, and prep for any new hardware changes if you're making any. I also changed out my cabinet hardware, swapping out many of the old brass knobs with 1950's style chrome and red handles on the cabinets. So, the first thing I did was take off all the hardware, drilled any new holes that were needed for the new handles, sanded the new holes, and filled any old holes that weren't being re-used.
Bye bye ugly brass knobs...hello 50's style chrome!! Being organized here will save you a lot of time and headaches later! Organize your hardware in bags or containers.
Step 3 - More organization here...label all of your doors and drawer fronts so you'll know where they go when you're putting your kitchen back together! I used masking tape and a sharpie and wrote letters/numbers to label them. Since I painted the upper cabinets a different color from the base cabinets, I labeled all of them with a "U" for "Upper" or an "L" for "Lower" followed by a number. You'll want two labels per door/drawer...one on the door itself (I stuck mine to the hinge) and one for the cabinet.
Step 4 - Now remove the doors from the cabinet facings and the drawer fronts. It took me several hours to get through steps 1 through 4! The rest will take days so just be prepared.
Step 5 - Set up an area to paint the doors. I set up a few tables in the garage and covered them with old sheets. Try to use fabric instead of newspaper if at all possible. It eliminates the chances of getting a bunch of newspaper stuck to the paint which ALWAYS happens to me!
Step 7 - Prime. Here's where my "do it right" mantra trumped my "easy clean-up" preference. Well, almost. To ensure the strongest bond between paint and wood, I decided to use an oil based primer here. I bought a can of Benjamin Moore "Fresh Start" primer which is designed to adhere well to glossy surfaces. I could just feel it really sticking to the wood as I brushed it on. Since I'm living alongside a Transformer obsessed 4-year-old, I think I'll call it my "Optimus Primer" from now on. To save the hassle of cleaning up oil paint, I got a few cheap brushes, foam rollers and a paint tray that could all be tossed later. It only cost me about $10 for enough to start and stop a few times to get it all done. Home Depot sells a little paint tray complete with a roller, roller pad, and a brush for less than $5 bucks. I also kept my disposable rubber gloves on while priming so I wouldn't have to dunk my hands in mineral spirits either. Start with the backs of the doors...this way you will always end with the fronts facing up, leaving less opportunity for the finish to get damaged by sticking to a table, etc.
Use a brush to get in all the cracks and grooves, and paint around the hinges if you left them on. Okay, fine, I did take one shortcut here and left these hinges on. Mainly so I'd have a place for my tape labels to stick!
Use a roller on the cabinet facings and brush on the inside edges and detail areas. I also taped off the floor to paint the base kicks.
Step 8 - Once the primer dries, lightly sand it with a sanding block and remove any loose dust with a tack cloth or a slightly damp cloth.
Step 9 - Paint! Finally. Feels like I'm on the home stretch now...but not really. I used Behr because it's just my favorite paint as far as great coverage goes. For this I chose an acrylic paint in a semigloss finish for durability and easy cleaning. For my "do it right" project I decided to get their Premium Plus paint which has even better coverage (paint and primer in one) Start with a brush again, doing all the edges, crevices and detail areas. Roll on larger, flat surfaces like you did with the primer. Second coat if necessary.
Step 10 - Sand to age/distress wood. I didn't just want the glaze to highlight the cracks and crevices...I wanted to highlight the raised edges too. So, I sanded all the outer corners and edges down to the wood. I used a coarse sandpaper first to really cut into the paint and get down to the wood, then went over it with a finer grit to smooth it all back out again.
The jade cabinets, sanded and ready for stain!
Brush and/or wipe all the dust off well before the next step!
Step 10 - Glaze. I didn't buy any special glaze medium or mix in any paint...I just used a can of walnut colored varnish. My mom used to do this decades ago, when they called it "antiquing." But we young'ens like to re-name things with fancy names like "glazing" and then claim they are the latest rage born out of our ingenious modern generation. Use a paintbrush or a foam brush to apply the stain to the sanded outer corners, as well as the cracks and crevices.
Let it pool into all of the cracks.
Now, let it sit for 5-15 minutes. I let mine sit for about 5 minutes. The longer you leave it, the darker it will become. It will also become harder to remove excess so be careful. It's a good idea to start on the back of a door to get the technique down. Do one or two at a time, but not more than you can finish before it dries. One at a time is safest.
A drawer front. I purposely tried to keep the stain away from the main, flat areas. There is a fine line between an aged look and a dirty look, and I was trying to avoid the dirty look!
After it has set for as long as you've liked, use a rag with some baby oil on it to rub and work the stain where you want it. The baby oil helps it to come off more easily and move around where you want it...a great tip I read on this blog! You'll go through a lot of rags.
A couple doors, done to the point where I want it!
You may want to do this to the actual cabinets and facings themselves in your kitchen, too. I just did some of the outer corners of the sides that really show.
Although this is all listed as one step, it will likely take you days! Don't get discouraged...you're almost done now!! This whole thing took me 9 days of working every free moment I had...several hours a day during nap times, 1-2 hours after bed times, and as many hours as I could get by with over a weekend. I don't recommend expecting to squeeze it into that few days.
Step 11 - Clear coat. I decided to cover the fronts of all the doors with a clear spar urethane. I got some made for indoor/outdoor as my hubby was worried about it yellowing over time and all the sunlight that beats on our cabinets. The ironic thing is that it ended up adding a yellow-ish tint to everything. Luckily we still liked how it turned out, as it worked with our aged look, but you should really do a test area first to make sure.
Use a brush or foam brush to apply the urethane. I did two coats. It took a good couple days for each "round" of doors that I did, because it had to dry 4-6 hours between coats, then dry 24 hours before being totally done and useable.
I am really glad I did this step. I was debating it, as I really wasn't crazy about extending this whole project by days. (no shortcuts....no shortcuts...) But, it really gave it a nice, rich look, unified the surface texture, gave it even more dimension, and will make them all the more durable down the road. I used a semi-gloss and really liked the shiny finish!
Step 12 - Re-Assemble your kitchen! The moment you've been waiting for! Now you can start to get your life back in order and admire the finished product! Re-hang all the doors, peel off your tape labels, and re-attach any hardware. Don't forget to re-attach your child safety latches if you have them. Invest $3-$4 in a package of those felt pads to put on the inside corners of your doors and drawers.
I found these vintage chrome & red handles on Ebay. Score! Red mugs were $0.25 cents each at Goodwill.
I LOVE these chrome knobs. My sister took me to Art & Architecture this summer where I got them. Her and I dug and dug through dusty bins of vintage knobs in their un-air-conditioned warehouse on a 90-something degree day until we were dripping with dirt and sweat. Now that's a rock star sister right there.
Felt pads...a nice touch for just a few bucks!
Don't forget to peel off all your labels.
Green sheep is pleased. Very pleased. This is a ceramic sheep planter that used to belong to my Great Gramma Dorothy. It was the inspiration for the 50's jadite green that I used on the base cabinets.
For more on my vintage trivet rug, check out this blog post.
Your project looked very impressive. But if you want to add some texture to your project, you should try coating it with a crackling agent. Or, it would be okay if you dab crumpled plastic when the paint's not yet dried. Trust me, the effect is great.
Great Vintage Finds for your Home!

Q: Code generation for short-circuit Boolean operators What would be an example of a boolean expression in which the outcome would be different if short-circuit
evaluation is used than if the boolean expressions are fully evaluated. Then I was wonder how would I sketch it out in terms of the three address
intermediate code for the short-circuit evaluation of your boolean expression?

A: The most common use of short-circuiting booleans is to ensure that undefined computations are not performed. In other words, it is not so much that the value of the expression differs with short-circuiting as that the value of the expression is well-defined.
For example, consider a common C idiom:
if ( ptr != NULL && *ptr == some_value ) { /* Do something */ }

In this case, the short-circuiting && ensures that the pointer will not be dereferenced if it happens to be NULL. With full evaluation, the computation would presumably do something really undesirable (like segfault) if the first condition were false.
Since the point of the short-circuiting evaluation is to conditionally not evaluate a part of the expression, the TAC implementation needs to include a conditional branch statement after the evaluation of the left-hand expression. In other words, the above statement would be compiled in a very similar manner to the equivalent:
if ( ptr != NULL ) {
  if ( *ptr == some_value ) {
    /* Do something */
  }
}

which would presumably be implemented with two conditional jumps.
I'm not sure what this has to do with semantic analysis or type checking.

Japan | Takanori Iwata Becomes Brand Ambassador of "Louis Vuitton"
Louis Vuitton recently appointed Japanese boy group EXILE / THE 3rd J SOUL BROTHERS member Takanori Iwata as the brand's image spokesperson. This year Takanori participated in the Paris Men's 2019 Fall/Winter Show in January by LV Menswear director, Virgil Abloh. Sitting among the front rows, Takanori was spotted sitting with together with other lime lights such as model Naomi Campbell and actor Timothee Chalamet.
"I am very honored to be the spokesperson for Louis Vuitton as a brand that has been admired in different eras. The brand's spirit and creativity unafraid of change I feel is something a performer like me can learn from. After Virgil Abloh became the head of menswear design, street fashion has grown increasingly popular among the younger generation resulting in the brand's expansion becoming the most sought after luxury brand. I'm very excited to be able to join Louis Vuitton in their wide spectrum." says Takanori.
"In China, music producer and singer Wu Yi Fan (Kris Wu) was also appointed as ambassador of Louis Vuitton, which the brand seems to be actively on the lookout for Asia's talents. From the time that Kim Jones took office at Louis Vuitton, Takanori Iwata seems to be deeply acquainted with the brand which most likely resulted in his appointment."


The 100th anniversary of our parish celebrating the feast of our patron saint, Mary Magdalene, will occur on Friday 22 July.

Blockchain tech firm Bitfury Group has released a series of new tools for merchants, consumers and developers in a bid to drive wider adoption of the Lightning Network.
Blockchain technology firm Bitfury Group has released a series of new tools for merchants and developers in a bid to drive wider adoption of the Lightning Network (LN). The launch was announced in a blog post from Bitfury's LN engineering team, "Lightning Peach," Jan. 23.
Bitfury's new LN-related offerings span an open source LN-enabled Bitcoin (BTC) wallet, a hardware LN payments terminal and e-commerce software for merchants, a host of developer tools, and a public LN node to facilitate users' creation of LN payment channels.
The Lightning Network is a second-layer solution to Bitcoin's scalability limitations, which works by opening payment channels between users to keep the majority of transactions off-chain, turning to the underlying Blockchain only to record the net results.
Valery Vavilov, CEO of Bitfury, has said the products' release aims to enable everyday use of Bitcoin and encourage worldwide adoption of blockchain technology.
In a summary of the new wallet's functionality, dubbed "Peach," Bitfury has clarified that the wallet will be able to handle both regular on-chain BTC transactions and LN payments. The wallet will reportedly also be able to create a channel using a user's Lightning address ID and their counterpart's host IP, create invoices and support recurring subscription payments between Peach users.
"Peach Commerce," as Bitfury names its merchant LN plugin, will reportedly enable individual retailers and payment processors to add support for LN payments into their existing infrastructure for e-commerce services — the latter via a web-based Peach API.
The product will support BTC micropayments and allow for LN invoice management. Bitfury further claims its plugin can confirm payments "in seconds," with scalability of up to thousands of transactions per second.
Lastly, Bitfury is also launching a point-of-sale hardware terminal to allow for fast and secure LN payments, as well as a "Peach public node" — the latter aiming to make payment channel creation easier by allowing users to connect their individual nodes or wallets to the public node.
As reported last month, the capacity of the Lightning Network has recently surpassed $2 million, despite the year-long bear market. As of Dec. 23, LN-supporting node channels were able to facilitate 496.8 BTC — worth about $2 million at the time.
Bitfury, for its part, is continuing to branch out into various industries — recently announcing the launch of a dedicated venture to open source the music industry using blockchain. Also this month, Bitfury partnered to bring LN payment support to Poland's BTCBIT crypto exchange.
Cointelegraph recently published an analysis of the cryptocurrencies with the highest transaction speed capacities, noting that scalability remains an issue for blockchain-based assets.

FTC Testifies Before Senate Special Committee on Aging on Living Trust Scams
Issues New Facts for Consumers
For Release
Elaine Kolish, Associate Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection's Division of Enforcement at the Federal Trade Commission presented Commission testimony today before the Senate Special Committee on Aging on the subject of living trust scams.
"The Commission greatly appreciates the Committee's effort to investigate the problems associated with abuses in the marketing of living trusts and to assess the potential scope of living trust scams," the Commission testimony states. The testimony points out that while living trusts can be a legitimate and valuable estate planning tool, scam artists often prey on older Americans' concerns that their estates will be subject to long and costly probate, and misrepresent the costs and benefits of trusts versus wills. "Putting the spotlight on this problem will help alert consumers to the danger they may face by buying living trusts or other estate planning products from strangers who play on their fears that their loved ones will not get the benefit of their estates in a timely fashion," Kolish said.
AARP and Michigan Attorney General Jennifer Granholm recently reported new data showing a 125 per cent increase over the last decade in the number of people aged 50 and older, with incomes of $25,000 or less, who own living trusts. The growth outpaced the living trust ownership growth rate of seniors with moderate and higher incomes, Kolish said. "This is a cause for concern because generally consumers of modest means are the least likely to benefit from sophisticated estate planning services," the testimony noted.
A living trust is an estate planning tool, often viewed as an alternative to a will, in which a person's assets are transferred to the trust during his or her lifetime and distributed at the time of death. A living trust can avoid what could be a costly, lengthy process, the testimony noted, "but whether a living trust is an appropriate estate planning tool depends upon an individual's circumstances and goals, and state laws."
Scam artists usually exaggerate the benefits of living trusts and may falsely claim that locally-licensed attorneys will prepare the documents, according to the testimony. Some unscrupulous businesses advertise seminars on living trusts or send postcards inviting consumers to call for in-home appointments, ostensibly to learn whether a living trust is right for them. In some instances, the offer of estate planning services is a ruse to gain access to consumers' financial information and to sell them other financial products, such as insurance annuities.
The testimony refers to a new Facts for Consumers issued today that warns consumers about living trust scams and how unscrupulous businesses may use marketing for estate planning services as a ruse to gain entrance to consumers' homes and their financial data for the purpose of selling them other investments. The brochure further warns consumers that living trust scam artists often claim affiliation or endorsement with legitimate nonprofit organizations such as AARP, which does not endorse any seller of living trusts. The FTC advises consumers who are concerned about probate and other estate issues to consult a reputable local attorney experienced in wills and trusts or a trusted financial advisor.
In conclusion, the testimony stated that the FTC will distribute its Facts for Consumers through its extensive network of national, state and local contacts, and will pursue its outreach efforts with other organizations that have frequent contact with older Americans. The FTC also advised consumers who believe that they may be a victim of a scam to file complaints with the FTC by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357) or online at http://www.ftc.gov
The Commission vote to approve the testimony was 5-0.
Copies of the news release, the testimony and the Consumer Alert are available from the FTC's web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580; 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357); TDD for the hearing impaired 1-866-653-4261.

The Founding Fathers refers to certain men who lived during the American Revolutionary War era. These men signed the Declaration of Independence, helped write the Constitution of the United States, or helped win the American Revolutionary War. Many of these men were members of the Continental Congress at some point. The term was first applied to these people in 1916.
There were many people who were Founding Fathers. Some scholars like to limit them to a small number, such as seven: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
Most of the Founding Fathers were large landowners or rich merchants. The majority owned slaves. After the Constitution, many of the Founding Fathers became leaders in the federal government.


Many infant respiratory deaths could be prevented by maternal immunization, an intervention that can protect these children during their vulnerable first months of life. Credit: PATH/Gabe Bienczycki.
When babies are born, they're too young to get many vaccines. Enter mom, who can protect her baby by getting vaccinated when she is pregnant.
PATH's Dr. Niranjan Bhat has seen a lot of respiratory infections as a pediatric infectious disease specialist. One of the most common causes that puts infants in the hospital doesn't even have a vaccine to prevent it. It's called respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and it's most dangerous in the first few months of life. For infants where little to no medical care is available and unhealthy conditions are a part of daily life, RSV is too often deadly.
The good news is that RSV prevention interventions are in development and could be available in a few years, including a vaccine. The challenge? The young infants most threatened by RSV are also too young to build up immunity after receiving most types of vaccines. That's where moms come in.
A promising RSV prevention approach is to help moms protect their infants by getting vaccinated while pregnant—otherwise called maternal immunization. PATH's Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access (CVIA) and Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition Program are right there in the mix to support ways in which this strategy can save more lives.
"By getting vaccinated, a pregnant women can pass to her baby immunity that starts at birth and continues for several months. This also allows time for an infant's immune system to develop," Dr. Bhat explains.
Maternal immunization is not new. It already has a safe and effective track record against several diseases, including maternal and newborn tetanus (MNT), influenza, and pertussis. In addition to protecting newborns and infants, some vaccines can also protect pregnant moms from certain diseases that put them at risk.
Momentum is building as developers design vaccines specifically for maternal immunization. RSV vaccines are among these and could be available as soon as 2021 if successful. Other maternal vaccines are in earlier stages of development, including a vaccine coming out of South Africa against Group B Streptococcus with support from CVIA. Efforts are underway to help the global health community get ready for these kinds of tools, including through the Advancing Maternal Immunization (AMI) initiative—a collaboration of experts coordinated by PATH and the World Health Organization to support decision-making around RSV maternal immunization.
"A maternal RSV vaccine would be a powerful addition to the child health and survival toolkit," says Dr. Bhat. With 4.5 million children dying every year before their first birthday worldwide, curbing major causes of early respiratory disease like RSV would make a meaningful dent.
Despite examples of successful use, maternal immunization's full potential has yet to be harnessed, particularly in resource-limited settings where it's not widely available beyond MNT prevention. For the approach to reach greater heights, harmonization across immunization, antenatal, and pediatric care communities is a must. A maternal RSV vaccine potentially on the horizon flags this larger need for advance preparation so that, when a vaccine is available, health systems and services are poised to use and make it accessible in routine healthcare.
Every mother deserves to see her child survive and thrive. Hopefully sooner rather than later, more tools will be available to give moms more options to protect their children—and doctors like Niranjan Bhat will see more infants with a chance at healthy lives.

The Right to Bear Arms, Even if You're Nuts
Where else can a certifiable loony who looks like Charlie Manson's creepy cousin walk into a gun store and buy a semi-automatic pistol that shoots 30 rounds in just a few seconds?
Donald Kaul
Say what you will about the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). Add in the murder and severe injuries suffered by assorted bystanders in Tucson and it all proves that we're still a free country. God bless America!
Where else can a certifiable loony who looks like Charlie Manson's creepy cousin walk into a gun store and buy a semi-automatic pistol that shoots 30 rounds (30!) in just a few seconds? And then walk around with it, no questions asked?
The result: six dead and 13 wounded.
Only in America. And Iraq. And maybe Afghanistan, Sudan, places like that. All bastions of freedom-loving folk.
Of all the places in these United States that love freedom, Arizona is the place that loves it most. It's one of three states that allow people to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. And as for the 30-shot weapon, Congress–the National Rifle Association's legislative arm–made that legal six years ago.
The incident does cast doubt on the NRA theory that "a society that carries guns around freely is a polite society." The shooting of NRA member Rep. Giffords and the murders of her aide, a Federal judge, three elderly women, and a nine-year-old girl were a lot of things. Polite wasn't one of them.
Apparently, they weren't victims, just martyrs to the freedom of the American people–rich and poor, crazy and sane alike–to own guns.
Some liberals have cynically seized the opportunity to condemn the sometimes violent rhetoric of the political right. You know, "if ballots don't work, bullets will." That kind of thing.
They point to a campaign event sponsored by Giffords' Republican opponent last year at which voters were invited to fire a fully automatic M-16, as a "symbol" of his assault on the lady. Republicans are big on symbols.
Some liberals have even gone so far as to blame Sarah Palin just because that good woman put out a map "targeting" liberal politicians for defeat, marking their districts with cross hairs resembling telescopic gun sights.
Palin was quick to deny that she meant that literally. As the big-hearted humanitarian that she is, she sent "condolences" from herself and Todd to the families. Is that a great American gesture or what?
Her spokesperson said the cross hairs weren't meant to look like rifle sights at all. They were the "surveyor's symbols" one might find on a military map to indicate locations. (Perhaps she was trying to nail down the surveyor vote.)
That didn't stop the local sheriff (probably one of those rare, oddball liberal sheriffs) from denouncing "the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business." He called Arizona "the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
That got Jon Kyl's hackles up. Kyl is an Arizonan and the Senate's No. 2 Republican. "I didn't really think that that had any part in a law enforcement briefing," he said. Other Republican leaders were similarly concerned.
"I am horrified," said Speaker John Boehner.
"I am horrified," agreed John McCain, the party's former presidential candidate.
In truth, it's difficult to tie the shooter to the political right, even though he expressed concerns about "the government taking over." Nor is he a child of the left, as some defensive right-wingers have sought to paint him.
He's quite simply a nut–a fairly bright young man who slowly slipped into madness. I don't know what can be done with people like that. That is until they commit some heinous act that gives an excuse to lock them up.
Not selling them guns that shoot 30 bullets real fast would be a start, I suppose. But what am I saying? You couldn't do that without limiting the right of the rest of us to buy 30-shot, rapid-fire pistols. Gee, then what would we do?
Rest easy, the U.S. Supreme Court–the NRA's judicial arm–wouldn't let it happen.
I am horrified.

Profiles In Time: Clint Eastwood's Watches
Clint Eastwood is arguably one of the most prominent actors and filmmakers of all time. He truly embodies the all-American ideal: He grew up along the West Coast, served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, and has portrayed quite a few on-screen American icons.
After he was discharged from the army in 1953, Eastwood returned to his home state of California and scored his first screen test with Universal. Soon after, he signed a contract with the studio and appeared in his first minor roles in films like Francis in the Navy and Revenge of the Creature. By 1958, Eastwood landed his first major role in the TV show Rawhide.
Throughout the 1960's, Eastwood starred in Western films A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. These films garnered global recognition, and Eastwood quickly rose to international stardom.
Around this time, he received his famous Rolex "Root Beer" GMT Master from longtime Rolex executive T. Walker Lloyd. The "Root Beer" GMT, sometimes called the "Clint Eastwood," is named for its two-tone brown and gold bezel.
A Rolex "Root Beer" GMT-Master
Eastwood's personal watch appeared in a number of films throughout his career. First, in the 1982 thriller, Firefox: Eastwood starred as a pilot, making the GMT-Master a perfect fit for the character. Just two years later, he sported his Rolex in the film Tightrope, in which Eastwood played a detective put on the case of a serial killer. Eastwood's Secret Service agent character is also spotted with his "Root Beer" Rolex in the 1993 thriller In the Line of Fire.

In addition to his illustrious "Root Beer" GMT, Eastwood has also been seen wearing a two-tone Rolex Datejust in more recent years. This is evidence that he's a true Rolex man at heart. As both an acclaimed actor and a true all-American man, Eastwood and Rolex make the perfect pair.

As a neurologist, I know that exposures to certain toxic chemicals, especially during growth of brain and nervous system in childhood, can cause irreversible damage. As a parent, I feel responsible for my children's safety and well-being.
But in New York state, you and I as parents have no way of knowing which products for our children may contain potentially harmful chemicals.
The scientific evidence is strong: Children are uniquely susceptible to toxic chemicals. And rising rates of childhood diseases and disorders of environmental origin, from cancer to asthma, tell a chilling tale.
Even before birth, our children can absorb hundreds of toxic chemicals that threaten their health. Research by the Environmental Working Group (a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization) has detected 287 chemicals in umbilical cord blood, of which 217 are known to be toxic to brain and nervous system, 180 are known to cause cancer, and 20 have been shown, in animal testing, to cause birth defects or abnormal development.
The federal government has done little to address this important public health issue. The U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act has not been revised significantly since 1976.
More than 80,000 chemicals are available in our commercial marketplace, but the Environmental Protection Agency collects adequate health and safety data for only about 200 of these.
Public health experts, as well as consumer and environmental organizations, agree that our federal laws desperately need to be updated. Despite this broad agreement, action by the U.S. Congress does not seem likely any time soon.
That's why it's critical for New York State to take action now — before our state lawmakers head home for the summer — to help us keep our children out of harm's way.
At this moment, lawmakers in Albany have an important opportunity to make a difference. They can vote the Child Safe Products Act into law.
The Child Safe Products Act would require manufacturers to disclose chemicals of high concern, such as lead, mercury and arsenic, when they are present in toys, clothing, car seats and other children's products. It would require manufacturers eventually to remove such toxic agents from children's products.
This strategy has proven successful in Maine and Washington, leading to identification of almost 5,000 types of children's products containing potentially toxic chemicals. New York state now has the opportunity to move to the forefront of these national efforts.
The Child Safe Products Act has been debated in Albany for years, but this year is different. In March of this year, the Child Safe Products Act was approved by the New York State Assembly and sent to the Senate. Recently it was passed from the State Senate Environmental Conservation Committee and now is poised for a vote in the final days of this current legislative session.
Toxic chemicals and our children should not mix. This is a moment of opportunity. Our elected leaders in Albany should do something about it. They should pass The Child Safe Products Act into law before they head home for the summer.
The writer, a White Plains resident, is a physician who is board certified in neurology and internal medicine. He was previously on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health and works as a physician-executive in New York City.
To read The Child Safe Products Act, go to New York State Assembly website (assembly.state.ny.us) and enter the bill number — A06328 or S04614 — in the Quick Bill Search window.

Q: Martingale: show switching of two supermartingales with a stopping time is also a supermartingale Suppose $X^1_n, X^2_n$ are supermartingales with respect to $\mathscr{F_n}$, and N is a stopping time such that $X^1_N \geq X^2_N$. Then show $Y_n = X^1_n 1_{(N > n)} + X^2_N 1_{(N \leq n)}$ is a supermartingale and $Z_n = X^1_n 1_{(N \geq  n)} + X^2_N 1_{(N < n)}$ is a supermartingale.
It seems obvious that $Y_n$ is first $X^1_n$ and once $X^1_n$ becomes greater or equal to $X^2_n$, $Y_n$ becomes $X^2_N \leq X^1_N$. Then $Y_n$ is decreasing in expectation (thus a supermartingale). I am not sure if my intuition is correct and also I am having trouble writing it down formally.
Greatly appreciate any help. I am new to rigorous probability theory and it is my first time learning Martingale.

A: Hint: Observe that because $X^1_N\ge X^2_N$ you have
$$
Z_{n+1} \le X^1_{n+1}1_{\{N>n\}}+X^2_{n+1}1_{\{N\le n\}}.
$$
Now take conditional expectations on both sides with rspect to $\mathcal F_n$, use the fact that $1_{\{N>n\}}$ is $\mathcal F_n$-measurable, and the  supermartingale property of $X^1_n$ and of $X^2_n$.


We have awesome news for you. We'll release the 2nd update of VisionX 2.4 by the end of this week!
The update will come with some new features and many bugfixes. The most important feature is that all open source libraries were updated. You'll have access to new APIs and new feautres of all libraries. VisionX itself got some bugfixes regarding the visual designer. A great new feature is the support for AddOns with access to VisionX. It'll be possible to customize VisionX for your needs.
We also have some new AddOns and Demo Applications e.g. the VaadinAddOn which enables you to create your own vaadin widgetset/theme in seconds.
The 2.4 release of VisionX will be the last version with Vaadin 7 because we already work with Vaadin 8.1 in our development branches.
We'll also change the version number of VisionX with our next release. Instead of 2.5, it'll be 5.0.
Because VisionX is very mature and the version number 2 doesn't fit. The next release will be a major change because VisionX will contain Vaadin 8.1 and this library requires Java 8, so also our VisionX projects will require Java 8. This isn't a big change, because VisionX itself comes with Java 8. The difference is the project configuration for your IDE.
All planned changes shouldn't be a problem for you, because Java 9 is out and Java 8 is the Java version you should use for your projects. The Java version won't make any difference for our Oracle Forms users because our JVx library will be built with Java 6 - no changes for you.

False Creek at Night (© Tourism Vancouver)
With warm summer and beautiful fall days, an array of outdoor activities, such as boating, gondola rides, hiking, jet skiing, kayaking, nature walks, sailing, golfing and swimming are easily accessible from downtown Vancouver. Cycling or jogging around the 10 km seawall at Stanley Park, which is directly accessible from the conference hotel is popular among locals and visitors alike. A banquet of attractions and special events await the visitor. From intriguing wilderness excursions to luxury resorts, and from innovative museums to resplendent garden festivities, the warm-weather season sizzles in the City.
Vancouver lives where the mountains meet the sea: nature's skyscrapers lie just beyond. Groomed parks give way to lush wilderness, and city sidewalks become sandy beaches. Even in the heart of the city, nature is just around the corner.
Vancouver is a mélange of sightseeing opportunities, with a wonderful array of public gardens, parks, and beaches where residents and visitors alike frolic: there is always enough room to play somewhere around town. The unique charm and advantage of this city is the range of things for visitors to do and see…from dawn until dusk and through every successive season.
Visitors can eat at world-class restaurants, attend the symphony or major sports events, shop at exclusive boutiques along Robson Street, visit historic Gastown and other sightseeing highlights and never cast so much as glance at the surrounding sea and sky scape, and the incredible outdoor recreation available. Scenic walks are close to Downtown – stroll along False Creek and discover the Olympic Village, Science World and Granville Island or stroll along the sea wall or under the majestic trees of Stanley Park. Those with an appreciation for the outdoors can windsurf at dawn, get in a round of golf after lunch, and take in the city lights at night while dining atop a North Shore mountain. Vancouver is clean, colourful and friendly, with the open cosmopolitan flair that West Coast cities are known for.
A recent column by Suzanne MacNeille in the New York Times described her perfect 36 hours in Vancouver.
Interested in Local History and Local Architecture?
Accompanying Persons can sign-up on site for a complimentary guided walking tour of Vancouver's downtown, from the Westin Bayshore towards Gastown, scheduled for Friday. Sign-up and additional ticket sales for others is based on availability. See details on site.
The City of Vancouver has developed a self-guided Architectural Walking Tour of the Westend, the vibrant neighbourhood surrounding and just south of the Westin Bayshore.
Information on Vancouver attractions and landmarks is featured in several free mobile apps:
Portrait Sonore: An independent non-profit organization developed a series of "pocket documentaries" to guide listeners to locations in various Canadian cities, including Vancouver. Highlights little-known buildings, combined with interviews, archival images and music. www.portraitsonore.org
Vancouver in Time: developed by the Editor in Chief of the Canadian Encyclopedia, the app details history of particular locations of interest using photos, slideshows, stories and tours. Information is searchable by theme, neighbourhood, maps or trails. www.citiesintime.ca

Q: How to determine if a post was last edited in the Visual Editor Is there any way to determine whether a post was last edited using the Visual or HTML editor? Perhaps by hooking into an action?

A: wp_default_editor(); will tell you the default editor - the last editor used. You can hook into the update/save post action and store this for the current post in the options array or somewhere similar.

How perfect is this top? The 3/4 Length Sleeve and Criss Cross detail is calling your name. You can dress it up/down, layer it, or wear it like it is. THE COLOR IS A LITTLE MORE PALE THAN WHAT THE PICTURE SHOWS!!! This does run true to size.


Plymouth goalkeeper Matt Macey took the honours as Bristol Rovers and Argyle fought out a goalless League One draw at the Memorial Stadium.
Argyle's Macey, with Rovers as a youngster, made two stunning second-half saves, one at full stretch to his right, to keep out Sam Matthews shots and help his side claim a deserved point.
Those two efforts were more than matched by Rovers' Jack Bonham, who showed razor sharp reactions to get a hand to Graham Carey's 75th-minute drive, which looked bound for the roof of the net.
Both sides had chances to win a competitive West Country derby, but in general defences dominated a full-blooded encounter, well refereed by Graham Salisbury.
Rovers' best first-half effort was a stinging right-footed shot from the edge of the box from Kyle Bennett which was parried by Macey.
At the other end Bonham had to be alert to turn away a Carey chip into the box, intended as a cross, but looking set to creep in at the far post.
Match ends, Bristol Rovers 0, Plymouth Argyle 0.
Second Half ends, Bristol Rovers 0, Plymouth Argyle 0.
Tom Broadbent (Bristol Rovers) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

They don't reflect real liabilities in the sense that TKLC will never pay cash out to someone for those items.
For both they WILL pay out cash to someone. Accrued Expenses are expenses that have occured just haven't been paid. With Deferred Revenues TKLC has been paid but has yet to provide the services or goods. When they do provide the goods or services in the future there will be the usual expenses incurred.
So the full amount of Deferred Revenue doesn't represent future cash outflow but some/most of it does (maybe equal to the usual Cost of Goods Sold %?).

What is video editing?
March 31, 2020 Editing Theory, Eye Movement, Movement, Video Editing 101shawnmontano
Forgive me if you know what video editing is. This post is to those just beginning their journey or those that need a refresher.
Some may argue that Horse in Motion (1878) was the first film. That film was accomplished using multiple cameras. These were still photographs assembled into a motion picture. They used 24 cameras to capture this.
Actual motion picture cameras weren't developed until the 1880s. That is when the camera started capturing all the single images on one reel. At this time, there was no editing. Each film ran as long as there was a film to roll.
Filmmakers often would shoot and just stop the crank of the camera when they felt they completed capturing that scene. Then, they would reset for the next shot and start cranking again when the next scene was ready. You could say this was the beginning of editing. It was editing in the camera, so there still was no manipulation of the reel.
It wasn't until the 1900s that editing really began. Did you know that one of the very first reasons for editing is that studios wanted films to be longer? They wanted multiple film reels compiled into one continuous movie. After that revelation, they started putting images together to try and tell a story.
One of the very first films that not only combined reels but began to develop some rules (or guidelines as I prefer) for video editing is The Great Train Robbery (1903)
Watch this movie and realize
There is action/movement in every scene
They maintain screen direction (except for one edit)
There is sequencing
Each edit advances the story
There is an effort made in pacing/rhythm
Editing hasn't changed much in over 100 years.

When 33-year-old quadriplegic Felipe Esteves saw Katia Vega levitate a small drone just by blinking at it, he knew that was the kind of superhero he wanted to be. Wearing a white wig to keep her secret identity intact, channeling X-Men's Storm, Vega was demonstrating her superhero tech at an expo. Each time she blinked with purpose, a tiny circuit nearly invisible to onlookers completed and instructed a controller to move the drone. That circuit was hidden under her wig, and was completed every time a pair of metallic false eyelashes met for a long enough time and connected to conductive eyeliner Vega was wearing. Signals were transmitted to a Zigbee radio, with the receiver kept in the superhero's handbag. Sometimes, her blinks instructed animated images that read "POW, Bam, Zap" to pop up.


Spot and Avoid Toxic Torts in Your Home: Dangerous Mold - Dickman Law Office P.S.C.
Severe storms, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes can create toxic mold in your home that can result in health risk for you and your family. Even small water leaks in bathroom and kitchen fixtures can breed large amounts of toxic mold. Exposure to these toxins can lead to major health problems that may require the help of a personal injury lawyer to recover damages you are owed.
Mold spores are found everywhere, even in the air. Most types of mold are harmless. However, Stachybotrys and Memnoniella can pose serious health risks to humans. Stachybotrys is commonly known as black mold and can cause toxic mold syndrome. Dampened places and materials such as wood, carpet, cardboard and wallpaper can be breeding grounds for this type of fungus. Memnoniella spores are typically found with black mold, but are smaller and can more easily penetrate the lining of the lungs.
It is important to leave the removal of toxic mold to experts who have the right protective gear to remain safe. Contact your insurance company or your landlord's insurance company as soon as you detect a problem. The insurance company will send an inspector to determine the type of mold and the cause of the issue. The cost of this inspection should be covered by insurance.
It is the legal duty of the owner of the property to ensure that the mold is removed properly. The process can be quite an in-depth procedure if it involves the replacement of floors and walls. Repairing the water leak is an imperative step to prevent the return of the mold. The remediation process may require you and your family to relocate to avoid further exposure to the mold.
Some insurance companies will fight the payment of a toxic mold claim. If you or your family member have suffered a severe illness because of the mold, it is imperative to seek representation for your toxic mold tort. Dickman Law Offices in Kentucky will insure your rights are protected. Our personal injury lawyer team will develop a thorough claim so you can receive the damages you are owed for your health issues. Repairing your home is enough to worry about with toxic mold issues. Do not allow health problems to compound your stress. Contact our personal injury team today.

Fury after doctors are told not to use the word 'obese' with patients
3AW Drive
An obesity expert has slammed a NSW Health policy directive that tells doctors not to use the word "obesity" with fat patients.
Professor John Dixon from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute told 3AW Drive obesity was a serious health issue in Australian and it needed to be tackled head-on.
"We need to call it out and treat it," he said.
"We're not doing that."

Perhaps you have just broken up with your girlfriend, or maybe you have already broken up with her for quite a period of time. Regardless of the length of time, if you still care for her and want to get her back, you will probably have this question in your mind, "Is getting my girlfriend back an easy task? Do I still have any chance or should I just give up?" Well, getting your girlfriend back is definitely not an easy task if you do not know exactly what to do. Even if you know what to do, you must still know that this is something that cannot be rushed.
Without some patience on your part, it may even make the situation worse. But perhaps, a more important question is to know whether if she stills want to get back together with you. Ultimately, if she has already decided that she wants to move on and has no more feelings for you, perhaps you should move on too.
You will definitely be able to find a better relationship. But if she still has some feelings for you, then you will have a much easier time if you have a step by step plan. There are various techniques you can use to test whether she wants to get back together with you. One very common way of testing whether she still wants to be with you is this: Try asking her out. You don't want to ask her out for activities that will take too long. You can ask her out for lunch or maybe a cup of coffee.
The key here is that you will have to hint to her that both of you are only meeting for a short period of time. If not, she might not want to come out and meet you. So, during your conversation, you can try to touch her accidentally.
See how she reacts. If she withdraws immediately, then you will know that she is not ready to be back with you yet. But don't despair yet. It doesn't mean she is over you already. It may be because she is not ready yet.
Therefore, you may have to take things more slowly. But if she has a positive reaction or no visibly negative reaction, then you will have a much higher chance to get her back. What you need to do now is to learn the steps that you can take to get you ex back.
Is getting my girlfriend back possible? Watch a video that shows you exactly what you must NEVER do, what you should do to get your ex back and why at http://www.howtosaverelationship.com You will also learn how to reverse the situation if you have already done those things that should NEVER be done.


HEREFORD United Supporters' Trust are encouraging fans to support their matchday 50/50 draw with funds raised going 'exclusively' towards the Hereford FC playing budget next season.
Previously money donated by the Trust (HUST) has been available to spend as the club sees fit.
"We think this a real win-win situation offering supporters a chance to directly support the playing budget while at the same time contributing towards the Trust's target of a 50 per cent share of ownership.
HUST has also welcomed the £20 reduction in season ticket prices for concessions next term.
"You can never please everybody when setting ticket prices," added Tomkins.
"Whilst the Trust would have welcomed a larger concession in match day prices for seniors, in general we believe the pricing structure for the new season offers fair prices to supporters while providing a strong and sustainable financial basis to continue with the progress the club has made over the last few seasons.
Meanwhile HUST are currently looking to appoint a nominated director onto the Hereford FC board of directors.
Tomkins added: "Last year we were pleased to be able to recruit three HUST members to assist in running the football club and represent supporters' views on the board.
"2018 was the first year we recruited to the roles of HUST Nominated Directors (HND) so we appointed our HNDs on staggered terms of office as part of an implementation plan so that from this year forward one HND role is put out for recruitment each year.
"This year's successful applicant will be appointed for a three-year term of office up to May 2022.
"We are looking for one HUST member to fulfil the role of volunteer director on the club's board. Working behind the scenes to look after and grow our volunteer base and to assist in delivering the HUST vision for our football club. I'd encourage any HUST member interested in the position to read the recruitment pack and put themselves forward. This is a voluntary role but if requested we will make sure you are well supported by the HUST Board and wider membership so we can all pull together to drive our club forward."
HUST Vice-Chair (Community), Joanie Roberts, added: "The volunteer director is a really important area for the club to focus on in the next few years, as it seeks to develop its model of sustainability at more competitive levels."
