Q: checking for nans with intrinsics in c++ I'm new to using intrinsics but I wanted to write a function that takes a vector of 4 doubles computes a > 1e-5 ? std::sqrt(a) : 0.0 my first instinct was to write this as follows
#include <immintrin.h>
__m256d f(__m256d a)
{
  __m256d is_valid = a > _mm256_set1_pd(1e-5);
  __m256d sqrt_val = _mm256_sqrt_pd(a);
  return is_valid * sqrt_val;
}

which according to gcc.godbolt.com compiles to the following
f(double __vector(4)):
    vsqrtpd  ymm1, ymm0
    vcmpgtpd ymm0, ymm0, YMMWORD PTR .LC0[rip]
    vmulpd   ymm0, ymm1, ymm0
    ret
.LC0:
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269

but i'm worried what will happen if sqrt_val contains a nan. i dont think 0.0 * nan will work. what are the best practices to do here?
Edit
After reading the comment from @ChrisCooper (and @njuffa) I was linked to another stack overflow answer and so I will test for self equality and then and this with my result.
#include <immintrin.h>
__m256d f(__m256d a)
{
  __m256d is_valid = a > _mm256_set1_pd(1e-5);
  __m256d sqrt_val = _mm256_sqrt_pd(a);
  __m256d result = is_valid * sqrt_val;
  __m256d cmpeq = result == result;
  return  _mm256_and_pd(cmpeq, result);
}

which compiles to the following
f(double __vector(4)):
    vsqrtpd  ymm1, ymm0
    vcmpgtpd ymm0, ymm0, YMMWORD PTR .LC0[rip]
    vmulpd   ymm0, ymm1, ymm0
    vcmpeqpd ymm1, ymm0, ymm0
    vandpd   ymm0, ymm1, ymm0
    ret
.LC0:
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269
    .long   2296604913
    .long   1055193269

A: I haven't programmed with AVX intrinsics before, so gathering information from  documentation to quickly put together the code below. It seems to work as desired for the one test case I provided.
The relevant observation is that the comparison instructions return a mask of all 1s (if result is TRUE) or all 0s (if result is FALSE). This mask can then be used to conditionally set the result of the square root to zero by ANDing the mask with the result from vsqrtpd. The binary representation of 0.0 in IEEE-754 double precision is all 0s.
Not having used these intrinsics before, I found the comparison predicates tricky to use. From what I understand, here we want to use the ordered comparison to get the desired behavior with respect to NaNs (that is, a comparison with a NaN should result in FALSE), so the 'O' variant. We also do not want a NaN input to trigger an exception (that is, we want the comparison to be quiet in that case), so the 'Q' variant. This means we want to use _CMP_GT_OQ.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <immintrin.h>

__m256d f (__m256d a)
{
   double em5 = 1e-5;
   __m256d v_em5 = _mm256_broadcast_sd (&em5);
   __m256d v_sqrt = _mm256_sqrt_pd (a);
   __m256d v_mask = _mm256_cmp_pd (a, v_em5, _CMP_GT_OQ);
   __m256d v_res = _mm256_and_pd (v_sqrt, v_mask);
   return v_res;
}

int main (void)
{
    __m256d arg, res;
    double args[4] = {2e-5, sqrt(-1.0), 1e-6, -1.0};
    double ress [4] = {0};

    memcpy (&arg, args, sizeof(arg));
    res = f (arg);
    memcpy (ress, &res, sizeof(res));

    printf ("args = % 23.16e  % 23.16e  % 23.16e  % 23.16e\n",
            args[0], args[1], args[2], args[3]);
    printf ("ress = % 23.16e  % 23.16e  % 23.16e  % 23.16e\n",
            ress[0], ress[1], ress[2], ress[3]);
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I compiled the above program with the Intel C compiler, the output looks like this:
args =  2.0000000000000002e-005  -1.#IND000000000000e+000   9.9999999999999995e-007  -1.0000000000000000e+000
ress =  4.4721359549995798e-003   0.0000000000000000e+000   0.0000000000000000e+000   0.0000000000000000e+000

Here, 1.#IND000000000000e+000 is a specific QNaN called INDEFINITE.

Q: How to navigate web page (input, select, button submit) I am attempting to automate page search result and put the results in a JSON or CSV file using C#.
The outline is:

*

*Go to the web page.

*Change the date (HTML input modification)

*Select the city (HTML multi-select modification)

*Click on the submit button (HTML button named submit)

*Get the results

*Click on next to get next page results

I can get the initial page (Step 1), but I don't understand what utilities are available to update the HTML and click on the buttons.
The source code is the following:
async static void Function1()
{
    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
    using (HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("http://bla.com/searches/index"))
    {
        using (HttpContent content = response.Content)
        {
        string mycontent = await content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        Console.WriteLine(mycontent);

        // Set the date in the input box:
        //     <input id="sdate" name="sdate" value="10/28/2018" ... />
        // Set value of city in multi-select:
        //     <select id="city" name="city" ...> ...
        // Click on the submit button to get results:
        //     <button type="submit" name="Submit" ...

        // TO DO: Write source code here.

        }
    }
    }
}

What could be a good resource or read to figure out how perform the steps that could be done with a mouse and keyboard in a web browser?

A: There are two main routes here. Either you figure out the protocol the search page is using to communicate with its back-end server and try to communicate with that directly, or you use an automation tool that controls your browser.
The second path is in general easier, and the tool to use is selenium.
I'd suggest you use Coypu, which is a .NET wrapper around selenium. We use it mostly for end-to-end tests, but also occasionally for web automation tasks.
Whatever you can do with mouse and keyboard in a we browser, a Coypu script can do automatically.

Q: Can Guice instantiate my classes from class literals? I am using Guice to build my application and I have a peculiar situation. I have a property file with a map of my interface and implementation classes such as -
interface = Implclass
I would like to bind the interface.class to my implclass.class
So that when I request injector.getInstance(MyInterface.class) Guice can return me an instance of my Impl class.
Is this possible ?

A: You could do something very simple like this:
class Module extends AbstractModule {

  Properties properties;

  Module(Properties properties) {
    this.properties = properties;
  }

  @Override
  protected void configure() {
    for (Entry<Object, Object> entry: properties.entrySet()) {
      try {
        Class<?> abstractClass = Class.forName((String)entry.getKey());
        Class implementation = Class.forName((String)entry.getValue());
        bind(abstractClass).to(implementation);
      } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        //Handle e
      }
    }
  }
}

Note that the properties file will need to contain fully qualified class names for this to work. I noticed your question uses short class names. Have a look at this question to add support for that.
Spring has extensive support for XML based configuration, which might be a better option depending on what you're trying to do. Keeping your bindings in code is nice because they survive refactoring.
And if you're trying to allow clients to add functionality to your application SPI might be a better bet.

A: Google says yes:
public class BillingModule extends AbstractModule {
  @Override
  protected void configure() {
    bind(TransactionLog.class).to(DatabaseTransactionLog.class);
  }
}

To get a Class given a String of the class name, use Class.forName.

A new study published in the journal Science suggests that humans might have played a significant part in the sudden deforestation of rainforests from Central Africa. This work contradicts the prevailing view that the expansion of farming practices was the root cause as well as the increased incidence of long, severe dry spells.
Germain Bayon, a geochemist at the French Research Institute for Exploration of the Sea in Plouzané, and his colleagues examined the weathering of sediment samples that were drawn from the mouth of the Congo River. Deforestation intensifies weathering; therefore the clay samples would provide a continuous record of the climate for the past 40,000 years.
The sediment cores revealed that 3,000 years ago, there was a complete decoupling between rainfall and the rate of weathering. Bayon says that this indicates that the climate alone could not be a factor to explain this deforestation.
The research team suggests that the Bantu-speaking people from present-day Nigeria and Cameroon, known to have emigrated across Central Africa 4,000 years ago, had an impact on the rainforest, since they cleared land for farming and iron smelting.
Other researchers are skeptical that humans could have destroyed such large areas of forest using primitive tools. Even with today's technology, it could be problematic to create such large areas of deforestation. Alfred Ngomanda, director of the Research Institute of Tropical Ecology in Libreville, Gabon, believes that Bantu farmers played a role in accelerating local forest degradation.
The study raises some questions about to which extent deforestation and other human activities might exacerbate the effects of climate change.

Imagine the ability to type in someone's Twitter handle and find out everywhere that person has been. Their local coffee shop, office building and even the street they live on. A little app called Creepy has made some waves with privacy advocates, because it does just that.
Cree.py is an application that allows users to gather geolocation related information about other users from social networking sites and image hosting services. The information is presented in a map inside the application's interface where all the retrieved data is shown accompanied by coordinates or other relative information.
Creepy's location information is obtained from various sources including: EXIF tags from photos, geolocation feature from hosting API, coordinates from mobile devices and IP addresses transmitted from web checkins. Platforms currently supported are: Twitter, Foursquare, flickr, twitpic.com, yfrog.com, img.ly, plixi.com, twitrpix.com, foleext.com, shozu.com, pickhur.com, moby.to, twitsnaps.com and twitgoo.com. The one catch is that this application only works if the user has location sharing turned on within the platform settings.
Try using this app the next time you have a Skip you're trying to locate or a target you are trying to serve process. It just may be the tool you need to close that case. Like any application, it has its limitations. But I think it is a worthy weapon in our arsenal.
There are many ways to confirm someone's residence during an investigation. Now depending on local laws, some of these methods could be illegal, so always verify beforehand. In order to find Intel that will confirm a suspect resides at the alleged address, an investigator will sometimes examine letters in the mailbox, look at trash in garbage cans or just wait around for the resident to appear. In some situations they may even have a neighbor or local mail carrier confirm residence, but that is only if anonymity is not a concern. Now the aforementioned 'low-tech' methods of confirming residence are usable, but let us explore a couple of high-tech methods as well.
Our first high-tech method requires a WiFi enabled device, e.g., smart phone, tablet or a laptop. Once parked in front of the suspected residence, open your WiFi device's Wireless & Network settings. A screen similar to the one pictured below should be viewable, revealing a list of available networks. Each network is represented by an SSID aka network name. Some SSID's are gibberish, but many will be customized by the owner. So if you were sitting outside my house and searched for a WiFi network you may see 'The HiTech PI' (example only), along with a strength indicator, which is an added bonus because the closer you get to that residence the more confirmation you will have. As you can also see I have a neighbor by the name of Wesley and another Madison, both true. I have seen many people use good indicators like "Holmes House" or "Craigs Cave".
The great thing about using SSID as confirmation is that it is in real-time. You know that the resident has current internet service at the address that is broadcasting the signal.
Another high-tech method used to locate/confirm residence are location based social networking platforms such as Foursquare and Gowalla. Along the same lines of network names, are user created 'venues' or places with their own names incorporated in them. For example my friend's home may be a venue called "Joe Smith's Garage", which usually lists an exact address or cross street. Even though it may only list a cross street, since these are GPS enabled apps, the marker on the venue map is often an accurate GPS placement. The Foursquare method can be utilized when you are in the area of the suspected residence, or alternatively, venues may be searched at http://www.foursquare.com, where they can be narrowed by city and zip.
The Warrior Poet- The 'Warrior' part of the name is there for a reason. He has lost none of his edge from his rowdier days, and will not hesitate to make use of his fighting skills when all other options have been exhausted. He merely asks questions before he strikes.
Anyone that was lucky enough to know him, knows that the above describes Bob to a tee. He was one of the most affable tough guys I have ever known. Always quick with a left hook, but quicker with a smile.
When the sub-prime mortgage crisis hit the US in 2007, many people lost their homes, either due to financial issues with their mortgage, unpaid taxes or both. This naturally created abandoned real estate, or ghost towns. These empty properties continue to make nice neighborhoods look not-so-nice and in turn, drive down property values.
I am no financier, mortgage broker or salesman. I am an Internet investigator. So the real estate I deal with is not "real" at all, it is more like Virtual Estate. Lately, when I walk around my neighborhood (the Internet), I increasingly find ugly, unkempt 'Virtual Estate' everywhere. You see, when sites like Geocities (of 80's & 90's fame), or more recently Myspace, discontinue proper upkeep of their websites, it creates an abundance of pages with broken links and improper formatting. This equals ugly.
Now until these slumlords of the Internet decide to fix-up or shut down their abandoned Virtual Estate, the task is left to the user.
If you look at the extensive list of companies and their customers that were recently effected by data breaches, you will see just how susceptible we all really are. As Internet users, we need to be responsible, keep our lives somewhat private and be careful with whom we share our details. I personally do not accept friend requests on Facebook from those who I only consider acquaintances. After all, they are called 'Friend' requests for a reason. I also closed my Myspace account over a year ago, due to the same non-use as described above.
As an Internet investigator and privacy fanatic, I implore everyone to sit down and make a list of all websites they have ever created a profile or account with, then determine which ones are no longer in-use and start spring cleaning. Just go to the target website, where you will likely find instructions on how to close your account, which are usually searchable in the FAQ or Help sections.
For additional reference you may also utilize a helper website like www.deleteyouraccount.com, which assists in finding the instructions for you.
Now help make our Virtual World a nicer place in which to live and place that trash at the curb! ~The Hi-Tech P.I.
Conducting internet investigations is tedious at times, especially when you run out of corners to look in. The truth is that, there is always more data to find online than what is initially apparent. An exterminator once told me, "If you see one bug on the floor, you can bet there's twenty more behind the wall." The same goes for online information. If you find one piece, you can bet that there are several more waiting right around the bend.
One method is to search shared information. If you find another site hosting identical information, then you will have another data source to harvest. This is what I call a virtual-breadcrumb. Say if one of your suspect's websites has contact information listed, we can Google that data and perhaps find a related website. One problem with searching for similar sites using a common search engine, is the plethora of junk results returned. If you search a phone number, you are almost guaranteed to return page, upon page of reverse phone number search sites (likely owned by Intellius).
Spying? There's an app for that.
In the detective profession, you will undoubtedly one day have a client or prospective client who is so paranoid they think their neighbor can hear inside their house or their ex-boyfriend can secretly access their mobile phone. A person would usually assume that this is just paranoia brought on by some rivalry between two former friends or ex-lovers. Afterall, how easy is it to bug a house or surreptitiously monitor a mobile phone? Well the latter just got a little easier. A new Spyware program, created by mobile app developer DLP Mobile, was recently released called Secret SMS Replicator. This Spyware may be downloaded and installed on smart phones running Android OS. Once installed on the target mobile phone, the software is programmed to forward every text message received on that phone to a phone number of choice by the installer. To top it off the program runs silently and remains undetected in menus and processes. Apparently the only method of removing this malicious software is to delete the contents of the phone, or the "installer" must text the target phone with digits "000" (or a predetermined code), but must be done from the phone the texts are being forwarded to.
This is a repost of a very informative article from Lifehacker.com on 12/16/2010. The author is the CEO of web company iFusion Labs, and blogger John Pozadzides.
However, other sites like the Hallmark e-mail greeting cards site, an online forumyou frequent, or an e-commerce site you've shopped at might not be as well prepared. So those are the ones I'd work on.

Called the world's 'coolest little capital' Wellington is known for its vibrant arts scene, world class café and restaurant culture, and active outdoor lifestyle. Set around an attractive waterfront, you'll be hard pressed to find a city in the world that's easier to get around.
Wellington enjoys more cafes, bars and restaurants than New York City, and its coffee and craft beer producers are internationally recognised. A creative, cosmopolitan city, Wellington combines the sophistication of a capital with the warmth and personality of a village.
There's a bus stop right outside Airport Motor Lodge. Busses travel into the city regularly (usually every 20mins).
Get a panoramic view of city and harbour, and a great photo opportunity at the Mount Victoria Lookout. Watch the ferries sailing in through the harbour and aircraft taking off from Wellington Airport. You can drive all the way up, or walk through the town belt greenery.
The best place to start exploring Wellington's craft beer is one of our specialist craft beer bars. Check out the Craft Beer Capital Trail for a self-guided tour of Wellington's welcoming craft bars. When you're downtown, you're never more than a short walk away from a delicious glass of local craft bew.


Do you remember the taste of the first apple you ate? The first raspberry you put in your mouth? Le goût de la première pomme ou de la première framboise que vous avez dégustée ?
Like me, most likely not.
It's fascinating to imagine what it must have felt like.
Every day, though, Lulu brings me back there as I watch her taste new foods. Sometimes she asks for "encore, encore" (more, more), and at other times, I get a face. It's cute.
Thinking of it, I wanted to tell you about something special. I wanted to tell you about an event that takes place every year in France. I wanted to share an initiative I strongly believe in.
The event is called "La semaine du goût", Week of Taste, and its focus is to educate children about food. And adults alike.
The event was started more than 20 years ago to encourage French children in schools to become more educated about food. It spread successfully across France. And stayed on. Stronger. Widely.
During this special week, events like Les leçons du goût, (food professionals giving demos in schools), Les tables du goût, (restaurants offering special prix fixe menus), Les ateliers du goût, (workshops organized around food)–they all have the same purpose: Make the French learn about and love food. Even more.
This year, the week is running from Oct 11th to Oct 18th. You will be able to find plenty more useful information about La semaine du goût by checking their website here.
I cannot help but envision that one day, in a classroom somewhere in France, my Lulu will be part of that event too. If the way she eats risotto is any indication, then she is off to a good start.
Wow. What a wonderful idea! This event should be mandatory worldwide… could you imagine the difference it would make… for everyone to learn about good food? Thanks for sharing!
I've been following your blog for a few weeks now and not to mention that I'm just in love with it. BUt everytime you post something over here I visit ur space adore your photography and recipes and also ur stories and that's it. Never posted a comment before but today the top photograph just took my breath away!
I work in a catering and hospitality high school in France and our students organize some special tastings and demos to kids from schools around who come with their teachers!!! It's really fun! What they like the most is the "flambage" (flaming) of fruit or crepes…very visual….
An absolutely lovely post. You are right… It must have been an incredible feeling to put your first raspberry or strawberry in your little mouth. Lucky you that you now can experience the joy of food in a whole new way with Lulu!
The Week of Taste sounds wonderful. Other countries could learn from that. It just makes me really sad to see so many children who have totally lost the connection to fresh, simple and tasty food.
En tout cas, c'est beau de voir que vous communiquer sur la semaine du goût même de l'autre côté de l'océan ! Cette semaine est particulièrement intéressante car elle permet de faire des découvertes culinaires intéressantes, à petitx prix… Dommage qu'elle ne soit pas suivi partout !
They brought out orange wedges for the babies at Ian's nursery school yesterday. I was informed when I went to pick him up that he is a gourmand! I have been trying to teach him to take one piece at a time but he just wants to stuff his mouth full! They're doing a different fruit every day this week. I was surprised they were doing this with toddlers, all the activities that his creche has been organizing. We got really lucky with this creche. I'm sure you'll think of tons of great things to do this week with Lulu!
Very nice pictures! I have no idea how I felt while eating my first apple. It's so sad!
I never knew about la semaine du gout, but I think it's a fabulous idea! I adore all things French, I'm no surprised! I agree that other nations should follow suit, esp here in the obese US of A where "taste" is something that's sacrificed for volume and price (thank you, McDonald's!). This inspires me to make something French this week– merci!
I used to be a very difficult child with food. So in a way I'm lucky, because I first tasted a lot of food when I was already well past my teens.
I think I'll always remember my first taste of kiwi (it tasted just like groseilles, amazingly), my first taste of foie gras (somewhat better than normal pâté :p) and my first taste of crayfish (can we have it every day from now on ? why not ?!?).
How incredible! Really this puts a huge smile on my face. As a Registered Dietitian in America I see how poorly we eat and the health issues that ensue, both of which of direct reflection of the lacking education. I hope we can host something like this as well some day. Soon.
She's the apple of this post:) Gosh she's cute!Love the shots you take of her!
Oui, c'est définitivement une belle initiative. Les enfants adorent.
Alors vive la semaine du goût!
A splendid event indeed and with any lluck – it will spread to the states.
only in France 😉 In the USA, it would be lectures about calorie content and not getting fat, but in France it is all about appreciating good food…. gotta love it!
Thank you for this information. I am in my 30th year of teaching in the public school system in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I have taught Early Childhood education (K-3) for a few years (as I have an extra diploma for that, accompanying my degree) and then have taught English Literature more of the rest of my career… until 3 years ago. Our Foods (cooking and baking) teacher left, and my Principal asked if I was interested in her position only because she knew of my passion about cooking and education students about eating healthy foods. I decided "Now was the time" and took the leap. I cried for days after about the gold mine in my head I would not longer be using (I still use it, surprisingly) but, jumped in. I was so tired of seeing students eating chips and pop at 7 am… and those that bring lunch most often bring "one of those, and one of those, and one of those" from the purchased products at home. I was the first teacher in our system that got a food handling certificate so that I could have my students cook for their peers. I started a catering club and on Tuesdays after school, any one can come and just cook (we plan it the week before); on Wednesdays (as it is a cost recovery program) we make the nutritious lunch for Friday. Everything I do with my students is about fresh, local, from scratch cooking. They love it and the program is strong and last year alone had 4 press coverings. We are so far behind what France is doing that I just had to share with you. Having this information has definitely inspired me to approach our district with a similar concept. Edmonton Public is progressive. We are moving in the right direction. We do have a project right now with 10 "Apple Schools" (http://www.appleschools.ca/) which we are incredibly fortunate to be involved with. The focus is not food appreciation, but food health. The lack of an active healthy lifestyle is the downfall of our youth today. Life is different in France. We have such a wonderful and beautiful country here. Our rural students are better, but the urban population has serious issues and food appreciation would be years past now… just getting them off the junk food is our concern.
oh wow that event sounds wonderful and it's going on right now. Hopefully I'll attend the one next year. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Wow, wonderful idea and so important … one tends to forget once in while that eating healthy and a variety of foods is anything but sure.
j'ai faim, aussi! merci, bea!!!
What a wonderful, wonderful idea. I wish something like that would catch on here – it could be customized to the state/region, with schools focusing on what's available locally and in season. How amazing that would be for our children, and I can imagine the ways it would eventually influence whole families and get entire communities involved. Inspirational.
And gosh, but those photos of Lulu in the pink dress are unbearably cute!
A great event, this is essential for the kids in schools to be educated about their food culture… C'est indispensable!! Beautiful Lulu!!
Elle doit ressembler aux émotions brutes que l'on ressent lorsque l'on goûte quelque chose de nouveau, encore aujourd'hui, non? Hâte!!
Thank you everyone. For those of you who didn't know about the event, i am glad I was able to share. I don't know of any website in English to provide any more information. If anyone does, please drop a line. I've received requests for it! Thank you!
On a non-food note, your daughter's outfits are absolutely adorable… where do you shop for her?
Thank you for another lovely post, with as always, gorgeous photographs. Actually, is not it sad we would need to be reminded of the taste of good food.
The Eropean authorities are not helping us either, spoiling the good food for us by rigorous requirements for storing and selling food and having more and more regulations,hardly allowing us to buy fresh charcuterie and meat and raw-milk cheese on the markets anymore and bakers having to put gorgeous flans that should be eaten tepid in the fridge, spoiling them for food hygeine reasons. I remember a photograph of Aran of eggs, 'not for human consumption', she bought at a farmers market. Thank God many people still eat and appreciate these 'dangerous' foods.
Please read Muriel Barbary's Une gourmandise, you will love it.
I am looking forward to many more fantastic posts from you with lovely ideas for dishes to prepare.
I come often to see you blog but this is my first comment! I'm totally in love with your pictures and recipes.. you're a great inspiration!
Great news to all of your interested readers! Week of Tastes does exist outside of France. You can find it in Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Norway, the US and here in Australia.
I started the Week of Tastes here in Sydney Australia two years ago. I focus on children at the moment and have WoT in primary schools as well as events outside school hours. If anyone wants some more info then please go to weekoftastes.com.au and contact me through there.
Yes it is a brilliant program and so very important. The children absolutely love it as do the chefs, bakers, pastry chefs, food providores who help with the taste lessons.

Latest state grant for $5M will make renovation of former Holley school a reality
Photos by Tom Rivers: The old Holley High School, vacant and in dilapidation for the past two decades, will be transformed into senior housing and also the village offices for Holley.
By Tom Rivers, Editor Posted 11 May 2018 at 9:43 am
'I truly believe this will be a transformative project with great impact for our village and other communities around us.' – Holley Mayor Brian Sorochty
HOLLEY – A grant for $5.1 million announced on Thursday for the Holley Gardens project will allow a develop to move forward with the transformation of the old Holley High School into affordable senior housing and also the village offices for Holley.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the $5.1 million on Thursday, part of $200 million for housing projects state-wide.
The adaptive reuse of the former Holley High School into a mixed-use facility will create 41 homes for seniors age 55 and up. The existing school auditorium will be renovated for use by the Village of Holley as meeting space and administrative offices.
Holley Gardens is in the heart of the Village of Holley and residents will have easy access to local small businesses and amenities, Cuomo said.
Home Leasing LLC, a Rochester company, has proposed a $17 million renovation of the former school, to create residential apartments and offices that would be used for the village government. Home Leasing is working along with Edgemere Development, Glasow Simmons Architecture L.L.P. and Marathon Engineering – all Rochester-based firms – on the project.
"We at Home Leasing are truly honored to be part of bringing this historic landmark back to life," said Nelson Leenhouts, chairman and CEO of Home Leasing LLC. "Holley Gardens will provide housing opportunity to area seniors and updated and accessible Village offices to the community. We are thankful for the unwavering commitment of the Village of Holley, the County of Orleans, Governor Cuomo, New York's Homes and Community Renewal and Senator Schumer to the revitalization of this quaint canal side Village."
Cuomo in March announced a $1 million "Restore New York" grant to go towards the renovation of the old Holley High School.
The latest funding will allow Home Leasing to move forward with the project. Brian Sorochty, mayor of Holley, said the revitalization of the old school will have a big impact on the village and Orleans County.
"The governor's announcement that The Holley Gardens project was awarded $5.1 million is fantastic news and we thank Governor Cuomo for this award and his commitment to these types of adaptive reuse projects," Sorochty said. "For Holley residents, this means that when combined with the $1 million already granted from Restore NY, this project is a reality!"
Nelson Leenhouts, chairman and CEO of Home Leasing, and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer discussed the importance of keeping federal tax incentives for redeveloping historic sites during this event on Nov. 11, 2016. Leenhouts, during that event, said in his 50 years of real estate development he has never had a community work so hard as Holley to make a project a reality as the redevelopment of the old school.
Holley village officials have been pushing for an answer to the former school for more than a decade. The building sits in the heart of the village at the intersection of two state roads, routes 31 and 237.
"Residents will soon see this landmark building restored to its fullest potential," the mayor said. "Having an historic building of this magnitude, which is located at the main intersection in our Village revitalized will breathe new life into our community. This project will not only benefit Holley, but also our entire County. I truly believe this will be a transformative project with great impact for our village and other communities around us."
The village worked to have the site listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it eligible for tax incentives. The Landmark Society of Western New York named the old school to its list of "Five to Revive," and that designation helped get the attention of Home Leasing.
Sorochty said many people have stepped forward to have the school primed for revitalization. The school closed in the early 1970s and was last used by Liftec Manufacturing in the mid-1990s.
"There have been many residents in our village that have been hoping and pushing for this type of project for over 10 years," he said. "Our Village Board has been working at this with the developers for approximately three years and it is very gratifying to see it come together into this exciting project. We hit this one on all cylinders, including support from all local, county and state officials, our residents, and a wonderful and dedicated development team lead by Home Leasing and Edgemere Development. A project of this magnitude simply can't happen without everyone pulling in the same direction. My sincere thanks to all who made this a reality."
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer was in Holley on Nov. 11, 2016 for a news conference at the old school to show his support for keeping federal tax credits for developers who rehab historic sites.
"At long last the decades of watching the beloved former Holley High School building sit vacant and decaying are finally over because we are breathing new life into this local historic treasure," he said in a statement. "Now with federal historic rehab credits and state and federal housing tax credits we can break ground on the plan to revamp the old Holley High School into Holley Gardens with new senior housing, new larger space to house Village offices and a restored auditorium for community public meetings. Holley Gardens will truly be a win-win-win: for local residents, for local businesses and the entire regional economy."

New Delhi, Nov 9 : Several senior Congress leaders on Friday staged a protest outside the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on the second anniversary of demonetisation that was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8, 2016.
The Congress in a statement said the protest was to highlight the "miseries of the nation" since the last two years under the Modi regime.
Apart from Delhi, the Congress in Guwahati, Chandigarh, Odisha, Karnataka, Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) also held protests against the Centre's decision to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes in 2016.
Other opposition leaders including TMC Chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal too attacked the Narendra Modi government, saying the note ban had harmed the informal economy.

The Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) is a robust sheepdog with roots in Tibet. In fact, it is said that the heavy fur which covers the eyes of this sheepdog is a natural adaptation to the glaring sunlight of the region. Nomadic tribes traveled with the ancestors of Polish Lowland Sheepdogs during their migration to European countries and the breed became established among the local population. Polish Lowland Sheepdogs developed a reputation for hard work, loyalty and strong herding instincts.
The breed's herding instincts have survived for centuries and even today, they still need a job and will attempt to herd their human families in the absence of sheep. Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) lovers will appreciate reading the PON Digest online publication to learn more about this beloved breed. PON Digest provides reliable information for those wishing to raise PON puppies and is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog Information guide.

BURNS: Issue #22 of Air is getting released this month. Could you talk about what prompted you to create this story?
So anyway, there I am with my passport that has visas from Egypt, visas from Iran, you know travel stamps from the U.A.E., and this little blonde stewardess fixes me with this icy stare, and is like "Why are you traveling to the U.S.?" And I'm like, "Well, I'm from there…" [laughs]. "I'm going to see my family." She says [Wilson adopts witchy voice], "What are you doing in the Middle East?" "I work as a journalist." "Are you married?" "Yes." "What's your husband's name?" And I told her my husband's name. She said "If you're married, how come you don't have your husband's last name?" With this like aha! attitude.
BURNS: [Laughs.] I've got you!
WILSON: I've got you now! And I'm sitting there going: "Well, you've found me." That's the terrorist code: we don't change our names—that's how we identify each other. Come on! Number one, it's the 21st century, you know, women don't take their husband's names anymore, maybe sometimes they do, but…In the Middle East, women never take their husband's names because to them last name traces the lineage. So they think it's really bizarre that women would take their husband's last names. So there was just no reason for me to do that. So I tried to explain that to her, but like a lot of Westerners she assumes that the way she does things is the way everyone must do things, and if you don't do things that way then you're automatically suspicious.
So, anyway, as this was going on, I was thinking to myself, what if I really was some dangerous international person? You know? And I was way, way cooler, and she was way, way cooler, and this was a comic book. And so that whole scene becomes that first scene in Air, in issue #1, when Blythe is interrogating Zayn, who's traveling under an alias, and asks him just some of the most retarded questions you could possibly imagine [laughter]. And then when he gets on the plane, he says to her "You know, you could have just asked, 'Do you know anyone in Hezbollah?' I would have been forced to say yes." [Laughter.] So that was the genesis of that.
BURNS: Like we said, Air deals with hyperpraxis in great detail, in there it's both theme and plot. So how has it been to explore hyperpraxis in a fictional setting?
WILSON: Wow. Well, it opens up Pandora's Box in a lot of ways. In some ways I wish I would have left it closed…[laughter]: when you take on something that abstract and that philosophical, there are an almost limitless number of ways that you can run with it. And that is as much a curse as a blessing for a writer. Because you can take on quite a bit, and then end up having to resolve it all, and sitting there like… "What have I done!" With Air, that's been the challenge is to keep all of those balls up in the air.
BURNS: Balance the high concept with the story.
WILSON: Balance the high concept with the story, yeah. You know, I think sometimes it's worked great, I think sometimes it's worked not so great. It's been a learning experience all around. It's really amazing to have kind of limitless power as an author, to kind of externalize whatever you want and just play in this world of symbolism.
WILSON: You're making up the rules, yeah.
BURNS: Your idea is symbolism is the language that's everywhere so everything could be potential material.
WILSON: [Laughs]: Every issue's got something weird.
BURNS: Right: but it's space.
BURNS: And that seems pretty close to the idea of hyperpraxis. Is there a discussion between the two of you about space and page layouts, or is that kind of all an M.K. thing, or are you involved?
WILSON: Usually, when I want to do something like that I'll put specific notes in the script about, OK, this page is weird and it has to be laid out this particular way because this has to happen, so those instances are the only time when I do micromanage how the page is laid out. That's taken forever. I can't tell you how long it took us to figure out that page in Cairo with Shaheed reaching for the sword. In my mind it made perfect sense, but because I'm the writer and not the artist I had to communicate it with words and that was tough. It's like: "He's reaching from this panel into this panel. And this panel is kind of rolling back, so he can reach behind it. " And M.K.'s like: "What the hell are you saying?" So it took a long time for us to figure that out and occasionally I'll make these infamous little MS Paint diagrams of what I mean, which look like a 5-year-old drew them. And M.K. would just laugh forever.
BURNS: [Laughs.] Now that's something I would like to see.
WILLOW: I think M.K.'s got one of them framed: he's just like "This is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life!" Because I can't draw, and I can draw even worse when it's on a mouse pad in Paint. Sometimes I have to do stuff like that.
WILSON: People have said so: it's a flattering comparison.
BURNS: Yeah, yeah. For me it's more…a panel-to-panel transition is more how a hyperpraxis journey would feel.
WILSON: I made the decision not to break down the fourth wall really. So they don't know that they're in a comic book, and I think of those instances where they are using the page to kind of talk to the future, you'll have a character reaching from one panel, which is before, into another panel, which is after. That's sort of symbolic to me, that's more for the reader. So it's making use of the comics medium to communicate a more complex relationship between the past and the future. But not to such a degree that they're characters are aware they're characters in a book.
BURNS: Have you found any other ways to use the medium to communicate those type of things?
WLSON: Well that's the most obvious one. Because in comics you can do what you can't do in prose or in film, because people are looking at panels in sequence, but they appear as one block on a page, so you can have the panels interact with each other. And the fact that this is the past and the future happens kind of in the reader's head. So I think chronology is the most obvious way to make that kind of use of the comics medium. Grant Morrison has sort of taken that into the third dimension in things like The Filth, where you see these little winged commando-type people actually flying up off the page, so spatially I guess you could mess with that too. Although I gotta say, I couldn't get all the way through The Filth, my brain started to shut down.
BURNS: Really? That's my favorite Morrison book.
WILSON: It was too much for me. I couldn't handle it.
BURNS: Well I don't blame you there [laughter].
BURNS: A lot to take in, yeah.
It was announced not too long ago that Air had been canceled. Obviously that's disappointing, but will you get the ending you originally intended?
WILSON: Yeah, we got the ending we intended. We get it sooner than we hoped. It'll be kind of rapid [laughs]. Somebody asked me on Twitter the other day, "How will Air end?" And I said "Rapidly!" [laughter]. But it is the ending that I had in my head. I think, when you're writing a monthly series it's important to know how it's going to end. I think you can kind of have a limitless number of stories between the beginning and the end, but if it doesn't have definite things that need resolving you know that need to be resolved, then it's tough to get a satisfying structure out of it.
BURNS: It could potentially go on forever if you don't have an ending in mind?
With Air, we're tying up all the loose ends. We're going to find out what happens to Lancaster, we're going to find out whether or not Blythe actually becomes a pilot, we're going to find out what happens to her and Zayn.
BURNS: What kind of audience have you had for Air? I know among fellow writers and artists it seems to be very popular.
BURNS: What about a broader fanbase, have you got a feel of it?
WILSON: Well I'm not certain. I don't know if it's kind of in a niche book or what. I know that the fans that it does have are pretty devoted. I mean, on one forum a few days ago, or maybe it was a couple of weeks ago actually, a guy threatened to blow up the Vertigo offices for canceling Air [laughs]. I assume he was kidding.
BURNS: Yeah. You'd hope so.
WILSON: I was kind of touched, you know, all the things that people have threatened to blow up in my name [Burns laughs]. I find this the most touching [laughter]. Unfortunately, in my case it happens on a fairly regular basis.
BURNS: Was that on Standard Attrition?
WILSON: No, it was somewhere else. Where was it…was it on comicbookresources[.com] or…I'll have to look it up, I'm sure it's still there. Maybe it was on Standard Attrition, I'll have to go look for it.
BURNS: That was what I was going to talk about next was Standard Attrition. What it is and how you got involved in it.
WILSON: Standard Attrition is the brainchild of Brian Wood and Jason Aaron. They thought that it would be nice if Vertigo creators could kind of pool their collective resources and bring their fans to the same place online so that there could be some cross-pollination between books and maybe people could get new readers. So they very nicely asked me to come on board when Air was starting up. And it's really cool, it's a very diverse group of people, what I write is so, so different from the stuff that Brian and Jason write or David Lapham. One of my proudest moments of my life [laughs] was convincing Peter Milligan to come on board. He doesn't hang around all that much, being famous, reclusive and British. He's got many more important things to do. He's one of my great literary heroes, so that's pretty cool, to be in the same talking shop as he is. But yeah, that was sort of the idea was to put all of the Vertigo creators in one place so that there could be more dialogue and the readers could access everybody at once.
BURNS: Has the cross-pollination worked?
WILSON: That's a good question: I mean, Air did keep going for two years. Maybe without Standard Attrition it would have tanked after 12 issues, who knows.
BURNS: So, the memoir, The Butterfly Mosque, was released a little over a week ago. You chronicle your first years in Egypt, your conversion to Islam, and difficulties you had with Western perceptions of the Muslim world and vice versa. What kind of research did you have to do to prepare for The Butterfly Mosque? I know that in memoir that creative license is welcomed, but your descriptions are still very exact.
WILSON: Well I treated it as I would have treated an article as a journalist. I don't believe in this whole new trend in memoir-writing where you do a lot of fictionalizing. It's common now to see "memoirs" where a lot of instances are conglomerate mushings together of several different incidents and characters or several different people mushed together. To me if you want to write fiction, write fiction; if you want to write about real life, write about real life. I don't do any of that in Butterfly Mosque. I do change people's names in certain circumstances for privacy issues, but most of the major…they're not characters, they're real people, but most of the people in the book I do use their real first names. I tried to be as accurate as possible. Obviously as an outsider in Egypt, I'm sure there are things that I'm going to get wrong anyway, even though I was living there and deeply involved personally with the country. But I didn't really have to do research 'cause it's my own life, and like a lot of writers I write things down kind of automatically. And so I had a huge backlog of letters and essays and notes that I'd taken and things like that. A lot of it was just kind of putting all that stuff together and streamlining it and cleaning it up and deciding what to put in, what to leave out.
BURNS: You said you approached it like an essay, but was the experience writing it any different?
WILSON: Yes. It was. I will never ever do autobiography again. I don't care if somebody wants to pay me a million dollars, I would rather be a barista at this very Starbucks for the rest of my life. I will never write autobiography ever again. It's extremely stressful, it's extremely emotionally intense, it's very nerve-wracking, because you cannot write about yourself without writing about other people, and if you're not doing that in a journalistic setting where everything is on record you're essentially stealing. You're taking stuff that's off the record and you're putting it on the record.
And well, you can show people drafts of the book, you can say: "Hey, this is what I'm doing, can you make sure that this is OK." But no matter how much of that you do, it's still your life, it's still people that you know, and it's still taking stuff that's personal and making it public. So there really is no totally honest, clean-cut, absolutely-you-can-put-it-in-a-compartment-and-forget-about-it-and-walk-away-from-it-and-never-have-to-do-it-again way to do a memoir. And so it's definitely been the most challenging thing I've ever written: and very, very tiring. And I will never do it again [laughs]. So I can only hope this book does well and does some good and changes some people's minds about some things.
BURNS: Well, you have a lot of philosophy in there as well: I mean that was one of the interesting parts. Did that kind of come naturally from talking about your own life? You obviously are somewhat of a philosopher.
WILSON: [Warily]: Yeah…I guess [laughs].
WILSON: Yeah, I mean, I kind of notoriously go off on tangents, and I think it starts to annoy people who interact with me on a regular basis. They're like "You don't have to intellectualize everything!" So I'm actually working on toning it down [laughs]. But yeah, it is something that comes kind of naturally. Why under-think something when you can over-think and make your life needlessly complicated? [Burns laughs].
BURNS: I asked you about your audience in Air, but what about a broader audience? In your entire career so far have you made any broader observations about who reads your work?
WILSON: I think the audience is pretty split. I think the comics-reading audience is by far the most open-minded, the most adventurous when it comes to reading stuff that is outside that medium, the most intelligent about discussing stuff from other medium. I've had a pretty easy time getting my comics reading audience to read other stuff that I write. I've had a very difficult time getting the audience that reads the other stuff to read the comics. And I also have an English-speaking Muslim audience. That's tricky also because there's a debate within the Muslim community about whether comics are even appropriate from a religious perspective. And if they are what is appropriate to write about?
BURNS: You said an English-speaking Muslim audience, so would that be in the U.S.?
WILSON: Also abroad. I mean the English-speaking Muslim audience abroad is a lot smaller. My Arabic is not good enough to write anything in Arabic above what a second grader can write so…maybe some day. I would like eventually to write well enough to be able to write in Arabic. That day is probably far away. So it's kind of a balancing act. Ironically though, I've gotten a lot more acceptance from my Muslim audience about comics and about some of the weirder stuff that I write, and a lot more acceptance from the comics-reading audience about some of the more political, socially conservative, religious stuff that I write then I have gotten from the mainstream theoretically liberal educated people who read my essays and mainstream stuff. The audience that I find the most challenging is ironically the most mainstream. It's hard to get them to read comics. It's hard to get them to empathize with people from the Muslim world. It's hard to get them to empathize with religious ideas that I talk about.
So I'm hoping that maybe The Butterfly Mosque will bridge that gap, and that people from the mainstream literary world, the people who tend to read only books without pictures in them, and probably don't read a lot of stuff by religious authors, and also don't read a lot of stuff from comics, or any kind of comics at all. Maybe it will get them to pick up some stuff that they haven't read before. I'm hoping. But I've been amazed by the amount of cross-pollination there's been between my two niche audiences, Muslim readers and comic-book readers. And in fact, in July I'm going out to San Francisco, and Comic Relief, which is a big comic book store out there is co-sponsoring a talk I'm going to give at a local San Francisco Muslim association. And it's, as far as we know, the first time that a comic store and a Muslim association have sponsored the same author to talk about comics and religion. So I've been really, really impressed. The two audiences that should hate each other are the ones that get along the best [laughter]. Which is cool, I mean that makes me optimistic.
BURNS: You end your hyperpraxis essay by saying "Anyone who can answer 'how do the meanings of symbols change?' has access to not only the implications, but the very mechanics of information design and delivery." How have you tried, outside of how you use it thematically in Air, to change the meanings of symbols and be a hyperpract in your work.
WILSON: In real life [laughs]. Gosh, that's an interesting question. There are some religious symbols that I've tried to put a more positive spin on for secular audiences.
WILSON: Yeah. That is inspired though, ironically, by an actual musical movement within a very fringy part of Islam: so there are actual punk Muslims running around right now as we speak. So those are based on real people. They don't actually go off and fight in Pakistan, but they do play in shows and stuff. But I'm a comic-book writer who wears a headscarf, you know? That should be a contradiction, but I'm trying to erode that contradiction, so that's two symbols that are sort of…historically seen as contradictory but I'm trying to reconcile.
BURNS: So what's next? Are you working on anything right now?
WILSON: Yeah, I'm working on a novel. I've got a couple of potential comics projects in the works: too early to talk about unfortunately. But yeah, we'll see. I definitely want to keep writing comics. I know I've got a few more books in me. So we'll see how it goes. A lot will depend on how Butterfly Mosque goes and whether people like it and how they respond to it, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. My big hope is to one day be able to write for one big conglomerate audience. To write and say, I'm not writing with just comics people in mind, I'm not writing with just Muslim readers in mind, I'm not writing with just secular mainstream readers in mind. That I'm writing for everybody at once, that's my goal.
BURNS: Whoever wants to read a G. Willow Wilson story.
WILSON: Yeah, anybody. That's really my hope for the future. The more I write the less I'm writing for specific audiences and the more I'm writing for whoever picks up the book.

I Grew Up Dirt Poor. I Can't Let My Son Ruin His Life by Going to a Fancy College.
I fear he doesn't understand what debt really means.

Dear Pay Dirt,
I grew up desperately poor with parents who were hard workers but were stuck in minimum-wage jobs that had no hope of covering a family's expenses, which accumulated debt. I started collecting bottles for cash at 6 and always had a job after 10. It got so bad that I occasionally helped a buddy deal drugs or did underage sex work just so we wouldn't be homeless. I know my son isn't at risk for this kind of life right now, but he's applying for college, and I fear he doesn't understand what debt really is.
He wants to go abroad or to a prestigious private college for the arts, which I love the idea of, but we can't cover the majority of it. His answer is always "I'll just take out student loans." This is terrifying to me, who watched how expensive being poor and in debt is; he thinks of it as a hole to climb out of, while I know it's quicksand. If he goes to community college for two years and then transfers to an in-state university, he'll get the same education, and we'll be able to cover the costs without putting him in life-destroying debt for the rest of his life. He's a top student, and the school has put into his head that he's too good for community college, so he's refusing any route besides the traditional four-year college experience with grad school after. I believe in him completely, but I also know hard work and talent isn't always enough to make you successful. I would never tell him what to study or even that he has to go to college, but I feel like I should put my foot down about this, since I've lived it, and he hasn't. He says if we won't pay for the college he wants, he'll just go find the loans and lines of credit himself, even after I've sat him down and gone over how predatory student loans are for young people. Since there's an option for him not to go into debt at all, I can't understand taking any other route. Am I letting my own issues get the best of me, or is there a compromise here that will make him listen to me that I'm not seeing?
—Generational Debt Gap
Dear Generational Debt Gap,
I understand your anxiety about your son accumulating debt, but I would argue that there are more factors here than just whether he ends up owing money for his education. I would dispute the idea that educational programs are the same everywhere because they're simply not. Expensive private colleges are not always better than community colleges, but it's a mistake to think there's not a range, academically and otherwise. It's not that your son is "too good" for a community college; it's probably that he might not get as much out of the experience if he's not surrounded by students who are as academically rigorous as he is, and the programs of study he can pursue skew more vocational. Not everyone needs to go to college at all, but if your son is very academically inclined, it's understandable that he'd want to and would care deeply about which school he attends.
I'm also a little biased here because I took out student loans to go to a fancy private university, and I think it was worth it. I was the first person in my family to go to college, and my parents had debt, too. I think I would have been fine had I stayed at home and taken a full scholarship to a local university, but my life would absolutely be very different. Leaving home and going to a school with a diverse, international student body heavily shaped my ideas about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to live, and it made a difference in terms of available teachers, mentors, and resources. College is not just a matter of absorbing facts in a classroom. It's also about independent living, relationships you form during that period, and new interests you develop as you're exposed to new people and ideas that you wouldn't encounter at home. And while I don't think the credentials matter much after a year or two in the professional world, they also opened some doors for me when I first graduated, with only internships, work study, and retail jobs under my belt.
All of that said, student loan debt is a big enough issue in this country that it's now considered a major public policy problem. The cost of college has outpaced inflation by an order of magnitude. Your son can't take it for granted that he'll be able to pay off his debt easily. And you can't make this decision for him, but where you can help is by making sure he fully understands his options and has a realistic understanding of the payoff. Federal student loans are flexible in terms of repayment and can be adjusted to income or deferred if something happens to the borrower's employment. They are not designed to drive people into the kind of debt you grew up with. Your son should be more wary of private loans, which are less flexible (and are not going to be as sympathetic if he loses his income). The kind of predatory loans you're talking about fall into this category.
He also needs to be realistic about what happens if he graduates in a field where salaries are modest. Even with flexible repayment plans, I doubt your son wants to be paying off loans for decades. Help him research what he wants to do afterward and get a better sense of whether it makes sense to incur debt in light of that.
But I don't think that taking out student loans is inherently a mistake. It really depends on who your son is, what he wants to do with his life, and whether he understands the responsibility he's signing up for.
The last year of my father's life, I moved in with him (six hours away from my own family) and was his primary caregiver while he was bedbound and in hospice for about six months. My mother was in a memory care nearby and died unexpectedly two weeks before he did. My two sisters refused my repeated requests to see him during those last six months. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and desperately needed a break. I feel like they both abandoned him in the last months of his life and left me with all the responsibility to care for him (I had already been handling all of his affairs for a few years). I am still horrified by their cold-heartedness, and I do not see myself repairing my relationship with either of them.
My father's will states that the three of us should split his assets equally, including his two homes. I'm the executor of the estate, and I just discovered that one of his accounts has only me listed as the beneficiary. I don't know why, but I'm sure he set it up that way a long time ago. I thought Karma! when I found out, but the guilt set in pretty quickly. So now I'm torn. Do I share?
—Am I the Selfish One Now?
Dear Am I the Selfish One,
I think there are several issues at play here. The first is very straightforward—the issue of whether you are legally entitled to keep the entirety of whatever's in the account that only lists you as a beneficiary. For that, you probably need to consult an estate lawyer. The answer will likely depend on the particulars of the will and whether the overall intention of an even split overrides any specific allocations that are earmarked for each of you. If you violate the terms of the will itself, it's possible you could be removed as executor, especially if it looks like you're violating your fiduciary duty out of self-interest, so you need to understand exactly what you're obligated to do in any case.
The ethical question is more complicated. If you are entitled to the account legally, should you keep the money or distribute it equally? Your argument for keeping the money would be that you were your father's primary caregiver at the end of his life and your sisters did nothing. The situation was deeply unfair to you, and you should be compensated for your effort. But inheritances are not generally supposed to be incentives or rewards for end-of-life care. Most people who are inclined toward even splits view inheritance as a way to provide for all of their children after they're gone, not to be a prize for whoever's there at the very end. There are uniquely horrible situations where manipulative people might utilize them that way, but given that your father's will says he wants an even distribution, it's obvious that he wasn't that person.
So while I think you're entitled to be angry at your sisters—and I don't blame you there—I don't think you can veto your father's intended course of action because you feel it's karma.

Money advice from Athena and Elizabeth, delivered weekly.
One of my oldest friends has angrily dropped me after I didn't invest in his latest business venture. He's complaining that I've been unsupportive and a bad friend. We've been friends for 25 years, and I've helped him with money and other support throughout this time. But when he launched his latest Kickstarter, I was unwell and struggling with pain and medication. I have also lost my job and while I have investments, I have little income. Even though he knows my circumstances, he insists he's in the right and I'm a selfish person, so I worry I'm just making weak excuses. He points to the fact I didn't share his post about the crowdfunder on Facebook, even though I don't use Facebook much. I don't know how to resolve this situation. He raised the money, and I've apologized, but he remains furious with me. We have many mutual friends, so it's going to cause problems in the future. What do I do?
—Frustrated Friend
Dear Frustrated Friend,
How do I put this nicely? Your friend is an entitled jerk. (That's the nicest phrasing I could think of.) If you had the money of Jeff Bezos and the health of an Olympic athlete, you still wouldn't be obligated to financially support your friend's projects. That he's behaving this way while you're sick and jobless is particularly appalling.
His comment about selfishness is pure projection. His concern should be for you, given your circumstances. And you are not his personal digital marketing assistant. He wants more Facebook marketing? He can hire someone to do it or do it himself. Your Facebook feed is not his property.
Sometimes it's hard to let go of friends who've been in your life for a long time, but this guy has no business being angry with you, and you seem to have internalized his critiques as if they're valid. Your mutual friends have probably been subjected to this sort of thing, too, so I wouldn't take it for granted that they'd side with him in this dispute. If this guy is angry with you, let him be angry. It sounds like he owes you an apology (and probably a thank you for past support) and not the other way around. Until he learns how to be a good friend, focus on the people in your life who already know how to do that.
I have three siblings, and when our mom passes away, the four of us will inherit her house. The house is in an area that has pretty high home rental prices, and all of the siblings could use some monthly income, so some of us would like to propose that we rent the home out instead of selling it. But a friend who's a real estate agent thinks this is crazy and that co-owning a home with siblings sharing the rental income will result in a nightmare of bad feelings and anger if the home needs a major repair or if one sibling wants to cash out. I still feel like the fact that the home is paid for and in a good area that we should try. How do I approach this so that it doesn't end a sibling tragedy?
—Love My Siblings AND Money
Dear Love,
I would argue that real estate agents generally think you should sell your house, and that this is a professional bias. It's what they know how to do!

That said, these kind of arrangements can lead to unwanted drama and acrimony if it's not crystal clear who's responsible for what. If you and your siblings all want to rent the house, you should determine ahead of time what the ownership split will be and who will be responsible for maintenance, finding and managing tenants, and so on. All of this should be codified legally. Your agreement should also spell out exactly what happens if one sibling decides they want to cash out, and whether the other siblings can buy them out if that happens. You'll also want to make sure you all fully understand the tax implications of owning what is essentially an investment property.
Conflicts in these situations arise mostly when people are surprised by the responsibility they're taking on and haven't worked through how those responsibilities will be divided. If you're all enthusiastic about becoming landlords, you can work through those issues now, and when disagreements come up, you already have a roadmap for dealing with them.
Classic Prudie
I've always had a strained relationship with my parents, and I limit my visits to a handful of holidays and special occasions, mostly to see my little sister. About four years ago, my mother started making passive-aggressive comments to me about money and responsibility, but she wouldn't give me any details about what was upsetting her when I asked. This year, my dad casually announced that "the reason Mom is so upset" is because he has allowed her to believe a personal loan he took out several years ago was for money I asked him for and am now defaulting on. (I haven't asked them for money in nearly a decade.) Dad also expects me to pay this loan off for him, since "it's outside our budget." To make matters worse, I found out my mother is telling my little sister that I essentially stole money from them and am generally a terrible person. I'm pretty sure that this is just their way of making me the bad guy no matter what I do.

(Newser) – A robbery suspect whose tattoos are getting the Maybelline treatment and a man who boarded a plane without a ticket—or ID—factor into this week's craziest crimes.
Taxpayers Funding Robbery Suspect's Makeup Artist: Each morning this week, Bayzle Morgan was transferred from the Clark County Detention Center to a Las Vegas courthouse where a makeup artist spent two hours making his skin look unmarked—and taxpayers are footing the bill. After numerous potential jurors said they couldn't give the robbery suspect a fair trial, Judge Richard Scotti ordered Morgan's facial and neck tattoos be covered with makeup at a budgeted cost of $1,200. Here's a rundown of his many ill-advised tattoos.
Man Drives 10K Cans to Michigan, Faces Prison Time: About three months ago, Brian Everidge was stopped for speeding just north of Detroit. He was behind the wheel of a Budget box truck whose contents could land him in prison for up to five years: more than 10,000 aluminum cans. At 10 cents a pop, Everidge stood to get $1,000 in Michigan versus $0 in Kentucky, where he allegedly told the officer the cans came from. Here's what he's facing.
Video Shows Guy Skip TSA Security, Board Plane: He didn't have a ticket, or even ID, yet a 25-year-old man was able to board a plane in Dallas last July. Authorities this week announced Damarias Cockerham, caught on surveillance video, walked through a security checkpoint at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport "without being stopped by a TSA agent" and boarded an American Airlines flight to Guatemala; once aboard, he spoke with his girlfriend for four minutes. Here's how he got through, what he told police about his girl problems, and the trouble he got in.
Cop Had Sex Nearly 100 Times While on the Job: A Wisconsin police officer didn't technically commit a crime, but he likely didn't stop many crimes either. John Worden has resigned after it was revealed last month that he had sex 98 times while on duty and spent four to six hours per work day on personal calls using his Hudson Police Department phone. During the entirety of 2015 he made just 27 arrests and gave 25 tickets, while earning $63,000. Things started to unravel for him in April.
Cops: Man Tumbles Out of Moving Car as Part of Extortion Scheme: In a scene resembling something out of a cheesy B-action movie, a man with his hands tied behind his back and a bag over his head fell out of a moving car on an Oregon highway over the weekend, the apparent victim of a kidnapping attempt. But investigators in Camas, just outside Portland, now say John McPhail was in on his own "abduction," all part of an attempt to extort ransom ... from his own mom.

The Modigliani women come to me in half dream,
offering comfort. Without brittle words or lies.
Sorrow knows sorrow in the tracery of bones.

Music melds with the elements of a body in motion.
And in repose, a flattery of death, which I have watched
and can tell you, is an ugly ruckus.

Still Life with Infidels #1


Among different types of body piercing available nowadays, there are some that remind us ancient times and tribal aggressive lifestyle more than others. Septum piercing is an example of such piercings. Cultures of Egypt, Nepal, Sikkim, Panama, Tibet, Kenya and tribes of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands have tradition of septum piercing.
This piercing goes across the middle cartilage of the nose and is quite painful. Different kinds of jewelry can be worn in septum piercing and it's available in unimaginable designs, materials, shapes, styles and sizes.
Septum ring is the most common choice. Depending on your personal preferences you may choose this or that kind of a ring. Captive bead ring is popular and most people choose titanium or stainless steel captive bead rings for septum piercing. The bead of CBRs is a bit larger than the opening into which the ring fits. The ring's tensile strength holds this bead firmly in the place. People with no allergic reaction on nickel also choose gold captive bead rings. There are other variations of septum jewelry but their diversity is striking. Don't forget that you may change the starter jewelry only when the piercing is completely healed outside and inside.
As any other piercing, septum piercing requires special care during healing period and regular care afterwards. To avoid any dangers including infection, you should follow all recommendations are least for 6-8 weeks and try to be careful with it later. For the first two weeks it will be painful to touch the piercing and the area will be tender. You should clean the piercing with a clean cotton ball in saline solution during shower leaving the solution for about 5 minutes and rinsing it then with clean water. You can buy ready product- there is a wide choice of working healing and cleaning piercing solutions or make it yourself at home. You should also clean the jewelry to avoid the tearing the inside of the wound with crust. But you shouldn't turn the jewelry for about 4 weeks after the piercing in any situation except while cleaning and showering.
Your piercer should provide you with all necessary piercing aftercare recommendations and instructions and you'd better write them down if he/she gives advice orally. And any time you have any doubts concerning the piercing and its health, you'd better consult your piercer to avoid complications.
Enjoy captive bead rings, spikes, tusks and barbells in variety of materials, designs, colours, gauge sizes and styles and make your septum piercing look great and attractive. And remember, that you should feel not only beautiful and stylish but also comfortable and nice wearing septum piercing jewelry.

Police Headquarters moves to the Glasgow Dalmarnock area
Thursday 21st of August 2014
The Car Hire Glasgow Airport think the move to a new building for the police force in the area will be a positive step.
Police officers and civilian staff in Glasgow will move to a new £24 million administrative headquarters in the Dalmarnock area next year. The five-storey Riverside East site will service Police Scotland operations across the west of Scotland.
Prior to the creation of a national force in 2013, Dalmarnock had been earmarked as the new headquarters for the former Strathclyde Police. The new site effectively replaces the old Strathclyde HQ at Pitt Street.
Completion of the Riverside East building is scheduled for November with staff moving in from the beginning of 2015. The building will become home to 1,100 officers and civilian staff.
Deputy Chief Constable Neil Richardson said "This is a fantastic opportunity for Police Scotland to relocate from its current Pitt Street location. This will unlock real benefits not only for the Police Authority and the Police Service but will be crucial to contributing to the regeneration of the Clyde Gateway area and will enable enhanced policing services to be delivered to local communities and beyond."
