There was the wishing vessel. Bold as the dawn, solid as earth.
Strange. Its home was on your left side nightstand; its height measured out in the stack of paperbacks behind it; its radiance mirrored in the collection of raw stones and gems circling it. Instead, you found it on the right-hand nightstand where your water glass should have been. You took this vessel in your hand--this vessel, hewn by your mother's hands, baked with the power of hope and sealed with a sea-blue glaze marbled with pebble brown streaks.
Stranger still: it felt heavier than it should as if weighed down by your bottled wishes. You held it in your hand a moment longer, wondering what occurred in those eternal moments between closing your eyes and waking.
Then that evening as you chopped vegetables for roasting, thinking about things that belong in other lifetimes (half-remembered thorns that only nip at your heels when you are tired), the lights flickered in and out of consciousness. Of course, that would have meant nothing if it weren't for the misplaced wishing vessel and your keys, now no longer in the drawer where you know you'd left them. Or the sudden chill that swept through your home, easy enough to blame on the draft forgotten after months under the gaze of the summer sun.
It wasn't until you drifted off to sleep, in fact, that you knew the truth of the situation: you were no longer alone in your own home. You felt the ghost brush cool, soft fingers along your naked back and settle in next to you as you hovered between dream and wakefulness. Then there was your whispered name the next day as you tended your garden, sounding nothing so much as dried leaves rustling in the wind. And the wishing vessel again misplaced, perching precariously on your bookshelf, so much heavier this time as you carried it back to its rightful post. The faint scent of memory and wet dirt began to permeate your home. Yes, you had a ghost, a living, breathing ghost contained within your walls.
Each day the specter became more and more distinct, once a faint shadow hovering just beyond sight, now a thick presence that didn't feel the need to hide any longer. It patched a form together from stray bits of thread, used tea leaves, and lint from the bottom of your laundry basket. The smell of mulched garden debris and damp earth became stronger each day, strongest of all at night when the darkness could feed it.
But you grew tired of its presence. You grew tired of never finding your keys where you always put them. Tired of hands, now with the feel of knobby sticks for fingers, pressed against your back before sleep took you. Tired of never knowing where your wishing vessel might turn up--and when you found it half buried next to your rosemary, as if a seed waiting to sprout the hopes buried inside it, you reached your limit.
It took so long to dig out that heavy, heavy vessel. Longer still to drag it in from the rain. The ghost was no help; it merely watched you puff and pant and try to set things right. This had to stop. You wanted your home to be yours again.
So you did the only thing you could: you brought another spirit into the conversation--one holier, more honest even, than you or your spectral companion: whiskey. You poured a glass for you and your phantom guest, now bearing the faint outline of a person, smelling of moss and old books and the inside of a wishing vessel.
"So how is it you found me?" You asked the specter sitting across from you at the kitchen table.
"I found a blossom of indecision, a wrinkle of silence and traveled down the puckered road of an old scar." Its voice was like crackling leaves and smoke.
A gulp of whiskey was your response. You drank in companionable silence for some time as you mulled over its words. The rain beat out a tattoo on the window pane. The shadows in the room grew longer in time with the setting day.
"And where did you find this blossom, this wrinkle, this scar?"
It gestured to your curled up palm. You opened it and saw several little half-moons carved into its surface. What had you been holding on to so hard? So tightly?
As if in answer to your soundless question, the wishing vessel now sat between you on the table, still caked in dirt. The table creaked under its weight. There was your collection of unspoken wishes, your barely-acknowledged hopes like lead dandelion puffs.
"It's the voice that does it," your specter explained. "Just the sound of your lips and tongue wrapped around one of those dandelion heads."
What would it hurt, you thought, to give voice to all those dreams you'd stashed away for so long? What would it take to breathe life into the many roots and veins you'd allowed to go dormant? What would it cost you to loosen your grip on those fragile seeds you have guarded and protected and stashed away for a rainy day, much like this one?
"They are stronger than you think," the ghost again replied to your unvoiced thoughts.
You brushed the dirt from the vessel and dragged it toward you. You held it between your hands--gently this time--as if it were a butterfly flitting through your laced fingers.
Perhaps just one. There is no harm in allowing one stray seed to breathe and bloom. You named it, this wish, to yourself. To your ghost. To this vessel that had held it for so long. You felt it being released into the air around you like a cloud of sandalwood perfume or the flap of wings. Your skin tingled with this unblemished possibility permeating the air around you, and you closed your eyes to savor this new-found lightness.
When you opened them, the ghost was gone, and with it the smell of dead things. There were only the two whiskey glasses and the vessel (so much lighter now) left, along with a stray blue thread that once held the specter together. The other wishes slipped more easily from your lips after that, the hopes too. You felt only sweet release, the joy of freeing these pods into a life you dared to think possible.
Your home was your home again. Your wishing vessel was once more what it should be: a womb, not a stopped bottle, fertilized by syllables slipping from your vocal chords. And the air was thick with dandelion seeds.

This 3 day gorilla mountain gorilla tracking and hike of Nyiragongo will start from Gisenyi in Rwanda, and return to Gisenyi on the third day. Below is the itinerary.
Very early in the morning, you will depart from Gisenyi and cross over to DR Congo up to the Virunga national park station where you will be briefed about the dos and don'ts while you are with the Gorillas. After the briefing, you proceed for the memorable adventure of gorilla tracking. This rather strenuous but un regrettable adventure will take you through thick and muddy environment, and may take you 2-6 hours to locate the amazing apes, depending on their movements. After a maximum period of one hour with the Gorillas, you descend to the headquarters where the driver will transfer you to Goma for Dinner and overnight.
After your breakfast, you will move from the hotel, and do some shopping in the supermarket before transferring to Kibati Village where you start you hiking experience. Start the hiking and arrive at the top in the afternoon. This will take you 5-8hours, with enroute view of some animals and birds along the trail. Admire the lava lake all evening, before retiring in the tents on the rim of the giant crater high above the active lake. The climb up to and down from Nyiragongo is strenuous and often in hot conditions, but the path is relatively easy and not excessively steep.
Nyiragongo is one of the world's active volcanos, with an impressive lava lake. The last time it erupted was in 2002, when flows of very liquid lava broke out from cracks in the volcanic slopes killing dozens of people and leaving many homeless. The eruptions temporarily drained the lava lake in the summit crater while volcanic gases suffocated the heather forests on the upper slopes. Now the forest is recovering, and the wildlife is beginning to return.

3 charged with sexual, physical abuse of 17 children at Garden Hill First Nation, may be 150 victims
By Sam Thompson and Elisha Dacey	Global News
WATCH: Supt. Michael Koppang of the RCMP shared details of a child sexual abuse investigation on Garden Hill First Nation in which two men, one who was a youth at the time, have been charged.
The RCMP is looking into multiple cases of sexual and physical abuse of minors at Garden Hill First Nation in northeastern Manitoba.
Police said charges have been laid against two men and a foster parent in the case.
#rcmpmb investigating child sexual & physical abuse involving 17 victims between the ages of 3 & 15 years old – occurred between 2011 & 2017 in Garden Hill FN. Paul Bruce Harper, 21, Lucy Harper, 66, & 20-year-old male all facing charges. More victims are possible.

The investigation began in February 2018 when a man, now 21, was arrested and charged with multiple sexual offences, said RCMP.
From there, police found out he had access to a foster home in the community, and a joint investigation was launched with Child and Family Services, said Michael Koppang, who is in charge of major crime services for the Manitoba RCMP.
"These allegations were very serious, and as the investigation continued, we became increasingly concerned that there was a potential for more victims due to the number of children who were in the care of this foster home throughout the years," he said.
The investigation showed more than 150 children may have had contact with the man.

There are various kinds of dynamical systems: discrete maps, smooth, finite dimensional, ordinary differential equations, and infinite dimensional systems such as partial, functional or stochastic differential equations. This introductory course focuses on the second type, dynamical systems generated by ordinary differential equations. However, the ideas developed in this course are central to all types of dynamical systems. First, some fundamental concepts — asymptotic stability by linearization, topological conjugacy, omega-limit sets, Poincar\é maps — are introduced, building on a basic background in the field of ordinary differential equations. Next, the existence and character of invariant manifolds — that play an essential role in the theory of dynamical systems — will be considered. This will give a starting point for the study of bifurcations.
The field of dynamical systems is driven by the interplay between pure' mathematics and explicit questions and insights fromapplications' — ranging from (classical) physics and astronomy to ecology and neurophysiology. This is also reflected in the way this course will be taught: it will be a combination of developing mathematical theory and working out explicit example systems.
This course can be seen as a basic ingredient of the program chosen by a student who intends to specialize on analysis. However, it also is a relevant subject for students whose main interests lie in geometry, stochastics or numerical mathematics.
More explicitly, this course can be seen as a natural preparation for the courses Introduction to Perturbation Methods',Bifurcations and Chaos', and several national master courses (such as `Partial Differential Equations').

Godzilla: King of the Monsters — and a little bit of Proust
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Michael Dougherty, 2019) was better than the previous U.S. Godzilla film, Godzilla (Gareth Edwards, 2014), but still pretty bad. That earlier film was so awful it left a lot of room between it and "okay" for other bad films to live. I don't intend this as an extensive negative review, but rather a comparison of what didn't work in this film with what I do enjoy in more successful movies of this genre – movies I frequently wished I was watching instead of this one. What I thought of most often was Godzilla: Final Wars (Ryuhei Kitamura, 2004) with its frantic energy and love of all things crazy and over the top in "kaiju eiga," — the giant monster movies which Godzilla epitomizes. A better example to call on though is Hideaki Anno's 2016 blockbuster Shin Godzilla.
The biggest thing that American Godzilla movies seem to miss is that a sequence showing giant monsters fighting should be *about* giant monsters fighting. The titanic, city-wrecking melee shouldn't be functioning just as a background for humans playing out an uninspired family drama. It is like the film's creators have a hesitancy or lack of faith in the very monsters that are supposed to be their stars. Shin Godzilla itself has a lot of focus on its human characters, their scenes were their scenes. It is fundamentally a film about people, but once monster action started, that's what we were meant to focus on. If a sequence did involve both monsters and humans, it was about their actions and reactions to each other, not an "A" plot and a "B" plot to cut between.
The Godzilla: King of the Monsters battle scenes were technically impressive, but rarely left much emotional impact. They played out just as you'd expect. If you tried to imagine what this film looked like from a few still pictures, you'd probably be on target. Marcel Proust wrote that we often approach art by seeking the familiar, what we know we like and have liked in the past. What truly moves us though is discovering the unexpected. One of the most classic Godzilla tropes is his powering up for his atomic breath. A glow begins along the scales on his tail, moves up the large spines along his back, building up to a radiant blast from his mouth. We've seen this many times, and both recent America films make a big deal of it. It is "fan service" giving us what we are supposed to want in such a familiar way that we know exactly how it is going to play out. Shin Godzilla sets this up this familiar situation – only to unsettle us by having Godzilla belch out not firey incandescent vapor, but a torrent of black bile that ignites into a napalm-like holocaust that incinerates entire city blocks. Godzilla's jaw enlarges and splits unnaturally as the energy focuses into a brilliant laser knifing through skyscrapers.We've watched Godzilla use his atomic breath for decades, but we have never seen or expected it to appear as it does here, and so it shocks, amazes, and terrifies — things Godzilla: King of the Monsters never does. Shin Godzilla has several such moments that throw the viewer off balance, messing with our expectations, and leaving us almost unbelieving that we are really seeing what is there on the screen. Godzilla's first appearance on land in a floundering, tadpole-like form leaves us unsure what we are meant to be feeling. Is it funny or an incomprehensible nightmare? Godzilla: King of the Monsters, like most Hollywood epics, never really tries to surprise us and telegraphs exactly what it expects us to feel as it runs through its check-list of set pieces and tropes. And if ever those feelings risk developing any weight, there's always a character available to make a wisecrack or funny profanity to keep us from actually experiencing anything lasting.
Making an effective giant monster fight is a serious challenge for any film. The best Godzilla films present the conflict as humanity against an elemental force. We are struggling against a walking atomic bomb, an untouchable natural disaster, or the embodiment of supernatural vengeance. It is more problematic when a film pits Godzilla against another giant monster. Through the history of the franchise most of Godzilla's fights have looked like professional wrestling matches. That has been part of the fun and can be appreciated as the stylized dance performances they, like pro wrestling, are intended to be. Trying to be more serious or "real" is a problem. Director Shusuke Kaneko approached the issue with his trilogy of Gamera moves between 1995-1999 by breaking the rules and playing with the expectations of the genre in his own way, but that's a big enough topic for another day. The recent American Godzillas – as well as other giant monster films such as the Pacific Rim series – try to deal with the issues by throwing vast amounts of money into the visual effects. The results continue to be uninspiring.
One of the best realized giant monster fights in live-action or animation is in End of Evangelion, an earlier work of Shin Godzilla's director Hideaki Anno. This was the feature film conclusion to the anime TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion. The fight is climatic confrontation between the character Asuka in her giant robot/cyborg Eva Unit and a squad of faceless winged giants. There is balletic combat, horrific violence, and an environment torn apart by this deadly dance of gods. In the midst of all this auction, the real the focus is on the very human Asuka. Every aspect of the titantic external battle is representative of the character's personal story arc and ultimate mental breakdown. The two elements, internal and external, of character and conflict are united.

Q2. What are the three security solutions that Cisco recommends for comprehensive security?
Usually, people think of only technical solution to information. But, technical solution alone is not sufficient for data security. Administrative and Physical security are also very vital for comprehensive security.


Taking on a complete decor overhaul every season is unrealistic, but small accessory and colour updates can work just as well to make your home feel refreshed. Pick a favourite colour, for Gina it was blue, and play with a variety of accessories and textiles in each room to create a theme that ties the whole space together. Opt for light shades and neutral tones for your walls, floors and big pieces of furniture. 'It's easier – and more affordable – to change fabrics and little decorations, or paint small stools and side tables. It can feel so depressing here in winter because it's dark most of the day. The pale, spring-like tones help to brighten my mood and give me energy,' says Gina.

The Expert Classes: UDK Asset Development – Part 1 is the first out of a series of two videos, that focuses on texturing and modeling in Unreal Engine 3/UDK. This first video is an introduction into correctly importing textures, making game ready models, and getting into the material editor.
While some parts of the video stick to a basic level, some other parts go into great detail on topics not usually covered. Setting up lightmaps the technically sound way for example, understanding rendering and the way the engine displays your work, the five different ways of handling collision, modular meshes, use of custom vertex normals, and things like altering the color of foliage based on the position in the world or vertex painting meshes.
In other words, it aims to give you a very thorough and detailed introduction into asset development in Unreal Engine 3/UDK.
This video class is aimed at beginners and those on their way to an intermediate level. The video comes with a couple of models and textures, but expects you to do some modeling and texturing on your own as well. The modeling and texturing was intentionally kept to a basic and minimalistic level (low poly), to allow even those with limited experience in a 3D package to follow.
The video uses 3DSMax, but as the video focuses on how to prepare and set models up for Unreal rather than how to use 3DSMax, the concepts and techniques covered in this video is also directly applicable to Maya, Blender, or Modo.

Ivano Bordon (; born 13 April 1951) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. During his career he was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Italy, and had a successful career playing for several Italian clubs. At international level, he mainly served as a back-up to Dino Zoff, and was a member of the Italy national football team that won the 1982 FIFA World Cup, also taking part at the 1978 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1980.

After retiring, he became a notable and successful goalkeeping coach with Juventus and the Italy national football team that won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, under manager Marcello Lippi.

Club career
Bordon was born in Marghera, Venice. In 1966, he joined Inter youth squad and debuted for the first team four years later. During his career, he mostly played for Inter (1970–83), making 388 appearances for the Nerazzurri. He initially served as a back-up to Lido Vieri, but later won a place as the team's starting goalkeeper, winning two Serie A titles in 1971 and 1980, as well as two Coppa Italia titles. He also reached the 1972 European Cup final with Inter, where they were defeated by Cruyff's Ajax side. In the 1979–80 season, he set the club's record for the longest run without conceding a single goal in Serie A (686 minutes).

He later played for Sampdoria (1983–86), where he won another Coppa Italia in 1985. He also played for Sanremese (1987) and Brescia (1987–89) before retiring.

International career
At the international level, Bordon received 21 caps for the Italy national team between 1978 and 1984, and he participated in three major tournaments with Italy as Dino Zoff's backup. He represented Italy at the 1978 FIFA World Cup (where Italy reached the semi-finals finishing in fourth place), UEFA Euro 1980 (where Italy reached the semi-finals finishing in fourth place once again), and he was also a member of Italy's 1982 World Cup winning squad.

Managerial career
After hanging the boots, he began coaching goalkeepers. He did so at Solbiatese and Udinese, before starting, a long-term collaboration with manager Marcello Lippi.

In 1994, Bordon was tasked by Juventus manager Lippi with enhancing the performance of the goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi. He stayed with Lippi at Juventus until 1999, during which the club won numerous trophies, including five Serie A titles and one UEFA Champions League. In 1999, Bordon followed Lippi at Inter, where he worked for two years even if Lippi was sacked at the beginning of the second season. Bordon then reunited with Lippi again, first in Juventus and then in the Italy national football team that went ahead to win the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Style of play
Regarded as one of the best Italian goalkeepers of his generation, Bordon was an introverted goalkeeper, known in particular for his cool-headedness, focus, positioning, and responsiveness. His agility in particular earned him the nickname Pallottolla ("Bullet").

What a pleasure it is to see the kind of enthusiasm that CHRISSY FUNK brings to her job heading up the creative folks at Palm Beach's CBS affil, WPEC. Ms. Chrissy is incredible all on her own. An adventuresome outdoors woman, she left TV for a spell while she hiked the Appalachian Trail and made waves as a body builder. It's her work life that has her focus now. A lot of phone calls come this way that are quite the opposite of excited (the biz is pretty wonky even if we don't want to admit it) but she has the inner excitement that brings about the kind of work we all want to do. What brought this all to mind is her latest campaign, which you can see here. Always a big fan of using music and/or jingles (when Well Dunne!), she shared the following: "This has been such a fun and rewarding project to be a part of (and it's not over yet)! The CBS12 News creative team has worked crazy shifts, shooting all hours, to gather imagery for this brand campaign. Promotion Manager, JOHN GILLIAM, got in a cage with an alligator for a special moment, who does that?! Luckily him, the gator and FujiXH1 were safe through it all. Then, Promotion Producer, KYLE LACKORE, busted out a Sony A73 to ensure we captured certain light just right. Oh, and of course we couldn't resist a beauty shot with our drone. That would be a disservice of course. As for the song composition… Noise Distillery helped us bring the vision to life. Rich and his team are phenomenal to work with and yes, they tolerated how much I wanted to be involved in the process. And all my edit requests." Let's give them all a double Well Dunne!…one for the campaign and one for bringing happiness back to the fore.
Well Dunne! to LEC COBLE, who's returning to Tucson where he once headed creative at KOLD TV before getting the nod to head up marketing for the Raycom chain, RIP. He's going to be Station Manager for TEGNA's operation in the Sonoran desert city. All the better for riding his motorcycle.
First Monday of the new year. The enormous amount of change the last year brought has led some of us to look at different ways to navigate. Open our creative minds to various ideas, crafts, approaches and information, all to give our day to day life spice and reward. One such brilliant student of the possible is CARRIE KING. She's starting at Johns Hopkins studying for her Masters Degree Digital Communications and Media with Philosophy as a double major. Wow…how totally exciting. She'll be taking her successful years heading up creative for Tribune in Chicago and for Fox there as well. Ms. Carrie has also studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. What excellent news it is to hear about possibilities and academia and one of the best of us taking the reigns. Well Dunne! Carrie. I hope homework doesn't keep you from staying in touch.
Well Dunne! Talent's SHELLEY DUFFY went and got herself engaged over the holiday. Gorgeous ring…handsome guy. No doubt mistletoe was nearby. So happy for her and her soon-to-be new Mr.
Need a little creative inspiration this Monday? Take a gander at the art works (film, music, graphics, etc) that are now in pubic domain.
Anybody else like the Pepsi spot run during the (horribly written) Golden Globes? The one with William H Macy?
Anybody else find the scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade one of their favorite? The scene where Indy stands on the abyss, compelled to take a step that promises certain death yet miraculously, a bridge appears. That scene. It's like starting your own shop. Stepping away from a steady paycheck, and into the possible abyss of nothingness. It takes tremendous courage to go out on your own and we should all support the creative who do. One such brave talented soul is CHRIS AYERS, who has closed the chapter on his TV Art career and has opened Chris Ayers Creative in Phoenix. Chris got his start at WCNC in Charlotte and from there, his talents were recognized by leaders at CBS in Chicago, the Meredith station in the Valley of the Sun an for the last few years, the syndicated show Right This Minute. His set design for them is pretty amazing. He will do your proud and you will be thrilled with his work. I don't endorse many (encourage a lot but not endorse) but he has my full endorsement. Check out his website Chris Ayers Creative and then get hold of him to work with you. He gets a huge Well Dunne!
Think About This: "Life is unpredictable. It changes with the seasons. Even your coldest winter happens for the best of reasons. And though it feels eternal, like all you'll ever do is freeze, I promise spring is coming. And with it, brand new leaves." ~ e.h.
Another milestone…a year gone by. 365 days. Some the same as the others – measured, busy, modern yet simple. Others standing out with events that change the vector of your adventure – love, children, death, ideas that lead to new and unexpected ways to experience this earth journey. I hope you feel the optimism this particular year has brought already. It's going to be a very interesting ride.
KYTX GM DONNA WILSON knows a thing or two about marketing and creative…it's her background before she got booted up to the GM office. So when she picks someone to be CSD for her station, you know they have to have the chops to shine. That person is DEVON HEFFER, who will take over the creative efforts for the CBS affil in Tyler, Texas come January 7th. Will be a busy holiday season for Devon and he'll hit the ground running so they'll be ready for the Super Bowl in February. And then come spring will be the Rose Festival. Devon has been in Charlotte at WCNC as Sr. Writer Producer, so he'll stick with Tegna in this move. His first TV gig was in the news end of things at Scripps' KSNV in Vegas and he made the switch to promo there before heading to Phoenix KNXV to hone the promo talents. He spent time teaching at Connecticut School of Broadcasting as well. Sounds like someone to keep your eye on, eh? Well Dunne! Devon.
It's switching from coach to cheerleader. That's how GEORGE SEVERSON described his new job at Salt Lake City's KTVX / KUCW. His new official title is Director of Local Programming and Creative Services, and he's already into the creative part, which makes him happy. Heretofore, George had been News Director at the Nexstar ABC / CW affil in Utah's capital. A Minnesota man with a degree from St. Cloud State, George has handled Assignment duties for KATE and KMSP in Minneapolis and adventured to Alaska's KTVA in an Exec Producer slot. He spent time field producing at KCOP in LA before first hitting Salt Lake's KTVX. He handled a daily talk show for KOIN in Portland before taking a News Director position at KMIR in Palm Springs. He officially has had the new role since October and from the sounds of thing, he's going to have a merry Christmas. Well Dunne! George!
Adorable RILEY SEXTON got a promotion. Tacos and margaritas all round. Riley is now Director of Affiliate Relations for Fox Broadcasting, so all you Fox folks are no doubt working with her now. She's advanced in the Affil Relations department – Woohoo. She has station-side stripes from her promo days at KMSP in Minneapolis. She did an internship at Fox in San Diego and is a proud SMU Mustang. Well Dunne! Riley.
Any of you in the vicinity of Greenville,Delaware? That means you Philly people. Well Dunne! Talent's TOM RICHARDS, who is an amazing musician, is going to perform Friday from 5 to 8 at Brew HaHa! which is worth the trip just to say you were there. Go for it Tom!
As if cancer isn't enough, losing one's hair while overcoming it is a kick in the shorts. Thank heavens for wigs. Alas, the good ones (even the not so good ones) are pricey. That's when Cristal Schanes, who has Emmys and has been a hair stylist for SNL, Jimmy Fallon's show and Spiderman 3 stepped up and decided that 20% of her products will go to a WIGwell Initiative which provides free custom wigs to women dealing with medical hair loss. Nice. So many good people doing good things.
What a lovely holiday it was…hope you can say the same. Hope that this holiday will be filed under Great Memories and will make you happy when you call it up again. As to getting back to work, OK. But if you have that itch, perhaps one of these will scratch it.

Traditional Windchimes
Chimes of Mozart - Medium
Tuned to the notes of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) lived a short but extremely rich musical life. Revered for numerous symphonies, chamber works, concerti and operas, his career started as a child prodigy and ended tragically at the young age of 35. This windchime pays tribute to his 250th birthday and is tuned to the opening intervals of the andante movement from his Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major (K. 467). This concerto was used as the theme music in the 1967 Swedish film Elvira Madigan.
This chime was designed with a removable windcatcher that can be taken to a trophy shop, printer or jeweler to be engraved or silk-screened. Download windcatcher removal instructions here.
This chime carries a lifetime tuning guarantee.

I think I've stolen a title from Kristen at the frugal Girl, but I like it, I like her and hopefully she likes us all so she won't mind. And it is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery!
You might remember I began the week with an emergency food waste week. After having to throw out my personal food waste mountain into the compost heap, I was determined to do better.
Well I did do better. Not perfect, but good enough for my first week of getting back into the swing of things.
Nothing ended up in landfill, but 1/2 a bag of rocket was composted (we blame the great British weather for that. On Sunday we were in vest and shorts and by the evening we had to throw a few oak logs on the fire and couldn't get warm enough).
There was also some fodder for the birds – some cheese bread that got left and went hard, ditto a bit of bread and some fruit cake.
Salad is a difficult one. Mr Green is mr salad, but you know how it is; once it's opened, it needs using. If you're not in the mood to masitcate like a rabbit then it's gone yellow by the next day.
With regards to the cake and bread, that simply requires better management. I need to make friends with my freezer, keep an eye on the baking tins to keep accounts of what is in there and offer cake for pudding every day until it's gone!
Overall, I'm pleased. I've got back into the habit of planning meals around the 'fridge contents and I'm looking forward to an even better result next week.
How about you? Are you managing to reduce your food waste? What issues do you face?
If you've blogged about food waste this week, why not pop along to Kristen's blog and join in with her Mr Linky merriment on her Food waste Friday slot? In exchange for your troubles, you'll get pride of place on her blogroll for a week!
Food waste Friday Another food waste mountain this week; something needs to change.
Just a thought with the cake, could you not cut into portions then freezez so many as individual slices which can be got out and thawed fairly quickly.
This also works treat with muffins.
I do this when I have baking session then variety of cake can be brought into the equation.
Kristen's attitude is amazing, Mrs Green, and should help a lot of families. Growing your own salad can be a useful way and I intend to investigate the possibilities, outdoor and indoor.
The beauty of a group of use growing our own is that we can jointly deveop best practice for ourselves and others. In future years becoming more perfect in our techniques.
Maybe you should run a competition, serious and jokey, to encourage full participation.
I have the post up now, so you can leave a link to your food waste photo. I'm just a little late today!
I've got quite a busy week next week, there's something on every day after work, commitments etc, but if I have a big rummage around in my freezer, I reckon I can probably live off what is in there, even with me being veggie.
So that'll be my target for next week. To try and clear up some stuff that's probably been in there for several months already, if I can figure out exactly what it is, my freezer labelling skills not being too good!
Have you thought of growing rocket? It is easy to grow and can be grown in a pot or tub if necessary. I think it has a long growing season, too, which is why it is suddenly so popular. Growing it yourself, small amounts at time, should increase the likelihood of eating it before it's past its best.
I don't like rocket, it's too strong for my taste, but I have been growing lettuce in tubs for a few years now. They do need regular watering.
We did a food waste Thursday. The chips that didn't get eaten on Wednesday along with the remains of a pizza that DH had on a works lunch!
But yes salad ( even if you GYO), goes yellow…..
@maisie dalziel: it's a really good idea, Maisie and another one to add to my list – there is a theme her of organising my freezer and my life. Thank you for the idea. How long does a large muffin take to defrost?
@John Costigane: Hi John, we have attempted salad in the past, but get a lot of cats and have very tough, clumpy, clay soil. It's never been successful, plus our ground is in such bad condition with weeds, we lose everything.
Large pots are probably the ideal, but then I feel bad about all the water they need.
@Kristen @TheFrugalGirl: Thanks Kristen – I've add our link to your site and it's lovely to read the other comments and see how some of your other readers are doing too. You had a great week with zero waste – well done!
@Carole Blake: That's a great idea, Carole. I'm on a declutter mission and will be trying to live off things found lurking in the cupboards.
@Karin: Hi Karin; yep, I think I covered this in my comment to John. We should grow lambs lettuce too as it's an all-year round crop. Maybe I should just get some pots and get on with it instead of procrastinating. We have all the herbs in place – we like herbs in salad, but no leaves!
@Poppy: I bet hubby loved his lunch Poppy and was the envy of his friends LOL!
@Compostwoman: Another lovely organised woman; just like Maisie – thanks Compostwoman, that is what I should do too.
Which salad leaves do you grow?
I take muffins and slices of cakes out in the morning and put in the lunch box its is defrosted by lunchtime approx 4 hours later.
The only thing that wouldn't freeze very well is a cake with glace icing on, butter cream freezes fine.
Watch me blush as I tell you of the quarter loaf of bread that I "discovered" in my kitchen last week. I hadn't been well over the recent school holidays and food\kitchen organisation was the last thing on my mind. The warm weather caught us out and Mr A mentioned that some slices of bread had started to go mouldy. Being guardian of all things that end in Bin (including Bokashi Bin) I asked him to put it aside for me to check later. Problem was, I then forgot, fell asleep, Meanwhile it fell behind one of the baskets in the kitchen. It was out of sight-out-of-mind. And honestly when I was sorting out the kitchen, it wasn't a few slices of bread I discovered it was a bag of mould. Not even the Bokashi can deal with that…so sadly it's the first item of food sent to landfill in ages.
@maisie dalziel: Thanks for the tip, maisie – I'm very unlikely to make glace icing, so no worries with that!
@Almost Mrs Average: Uh oh, mrs A – it's horrible when something like that happens!
@Mrs Green: Regarding things needing water, there's always a bit of cold water to run off before the hot water comes through. I collect this in a small watering can I have for all my indoor stuff, including my cut and come again stuff (which has grown wonderfully even with regular snipping).
Can't really add much to what the others have said. Containers are good for growing salad and you can even do this indoors. Best to sow a little at a time to have a continuous supply. As has been mentioned, there are all kinds of oddments of water that you can save up and use to water plants with – including washing up water, and also any water that you've used to cook veg in assuming you are not already using it for stock !
@Mrs Green: Well, I had only one son to cook for tonight, but remembering my challenge to myself, I investigated the freezer and was (eventually) able to identify one portion of chilli con carne (made with meat so he could have that!) and one portion of vegetable stew which I could have. I did DS some rice as well.
I also found some frozen soup which I can take to school tomorrow for lunch!!
Wonder what we'll have for dinner tomorrow? Freezer dinners are always such a surprise lol.
Amazed people don't know what's in stock. It's easy. On the front of the fridge/freezer have a list of the contents.
I refresh the list weekly. It makes meal planning a doddle.
I'm a little late to chime in since I've been away chaperoning daughter #2's girls crew team. Prior to the trip I told DD that I wouldn't be cooking since we should finish up food in the fridge so not to spoil – she interpreted that to mean that we had to eat up all the ice cream in the freezer!
@Carole Blake: That;s a good idea, Carole. We have a lot of chlorine in the water here, so I'd need to let it stand, but there is no reason why I couldn't do that. your plants obviously grow ok with tap water? I've noticed a big difference between tap and rain.
@rosie crawford: you sound very organised Rosie; and I'm not as organised as that. I can see a system like the one you talk about would make things very easy, but it relies on all members of the household using it; I'm not sure that would happen. I have enough trouble getting them to put things in the right landfill waste box!
@Deb from Boston: Sounds like your daughter enjoyed an ice cream fest then, Deb! Talk about taking you at your word LOL!
@Mrs Green: The other thing I do re watering plants is to use some of the used water from my tropical fish tank. When I do waterchanges, I fill up a big bucket with the used stuff and water all my houseplants with it. It has nitrates in it as the end product of the biological cycle that goes on in mature fish tanks and it a good plant food.
Oh, great idea, Carole. I used to keep tropical fish – haven't done so for some years now, but every now and then I get tempted to do it all again.
How often do you have to do a water change?
@Mrs Green: Hi Mrs G, been away for the long weekend so just catching up!
I do a 30% water change every two to three weeks depending on what my nitrate readings are. I've had this set up running for over three years now and everything is well settled.
@Carole: Thanks for the info, Carole; that sounds pretty stress free. It's good when the eco system supports itself.
Do you leave lights and filtration on all night?
The lights are on a timer to prevent the tank having more than 10-11 hours of electric light a day. More than that will promote excessive algal growth (ie, the tank ends up looking very environmental [GREEN!] but I can't see my fish).
The filtration has to be on at all times as if it's switched off, the lack of oxygen to the microbes that are dealing with fish waste would cause them to start to die off with negative consequences to the tank occupants!
Filters are not needed in aquaria that have heavy planting and very light stocking, which is when they are more like an underwater garden with a few small ornamental fish for interest, rather than the other way around, with more fish than plants.
I run two filters (one for backup) and two heaters (again, one for back up, but I have some very nice fish that are like real pets to me (people laugh when they hear me talking to them when I'm feeding them) and I would hate anything to happen to any of them due to an equipment break down. As it is, I used to love thunderstorms, but now if we have one I'm panicking because I'm worrying about powercuts etc.


Believe it or not, food doesn't just affect the number on the scale. Certain things we put in our stomach can mess with our mood, cause sleepiness or even interfere with a successful workout. The latter can truly be a nightmare for anyone seeking to rev up their fitness.
The good news: Avoiding fitness food foes isn't as tough as logging those last five minutes on the treadmill. Experts weighed in on the food and workout plan made for 2017 success.
What to eat prior to exercise depends heavily on the intensity of the workout and the individual, said Lisa Avellino, the fitness director for NY Health and Wellness. For a light to moderate workout, a fruit or smoothie are ideal options since they're easy for the body to break down. "[These] can digest and affect your blood sugar levels in a positive way within 15 [to 20] minutes of ingesting," she said. For a long-distance run or more intense workout, a meal combining a carbohydrate and protein is recommended at least 30-45 minutes before working out. Some great options include legumes, quinoa or chickpea pasta along with an alternate source of protein.
"You don't want 10oz of steak or 10oz of fish and a very small amount of a carbohydrate because then you won't have the sustainable energy," said Avellino, a fitness expert with more than 30 years of experience. A proper ratio also makes it possible for the food to be released more slowly into the system.
Forget drive-thrus and donuts; the quality of food is important regardless of the type of workout. These types of meals, especially sugar, are hormone disrupters that affect hunger and the body's ability to store fat, Avellino added.
What could be worse than working out with gastrointestinal issues? Lauren Kelly, a registered dietitian based in New York, advised avoiding foods that are high in fat and fiber before a workout because they can cause gas and bloating. "So no avocados an hour before your workout!" said Kelly, who is also a certified vinyasa yoga instructor.
This is something we've been told our entire lives, but some people tend to skimp out on fluids. When exercising regularly, it's important to drink more water because "dehydration can definitely make your energy level go down and then you're not able to fuel through your workout as well," Kelly said. She suggested adding an additional 6-12oz of water to the longtime recommended eight 8oz glasses a day.
Rushing through a meal isn't unusual during a busy day. But this bad habit interferes with proper digestion, Avellino pointed out. She stressed taking smaller bites and chewing between 20-30 times.
Focusing on the body after a workout is just as important as pre-workout rituals. Experts recommend having protein about 30 minutes after a workout. "Muscles break down so we want to make sure that the muscle can rebuild itself and repair itself," said Avellino.

Q: compile rc file in VS 2010 I am reading about resource file in C++. It is mentioned about we can compile to generate data structure to be used in application.
I request help in writing simeple rc file in VS2010 and compile and what it produces output and how we can use in application.
It would be if helped with VS 2010 and VC++.
Thanks!

A: I don't think you understand what a resource file is used for. This is how you add icons, bitmaps, sounds, strings, and other localizable resources to your Windows application. The Windows SDK comes with a resource compiler, rc.exe. It can be invoked automatically as part of a Visual Studio build. It works on the resource files in your project, which will generally have the ".rc" extension. They are essentially just scripts, listing all of the resources to be linked into the executable.
Creating an new Win32 Application project using the built-in template will give you a good example on how this works. And of course you can add a new resource file to an existing project by right-clicking on the project folder in the Solution Explorer, clicking "Add New Item", and selecting "Resource File (.rc)". Once you've got a resource file, use the "Resource View" toolbox window to add items to it.

EXPECT FULL TRAFFIC STOP

EXPECT FULL TRAFFIC STOP ON ROUTE 17 NORTHBOUND AT I-95 NEXT WEEK
All lanes on Route 17 northbound in Stafford County will be stopped up to 30 minutes overnight on Wednesday, May 8
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has scheduled a full traffic stop on Route 17 northbound at the Interstate 95 Exit 133/Falmouth interchange in Stafford County overnight on Wednesday, May 8.
Weather permitting, all traffic on Route 17 northbound will be stopped overnight up to 30 minutes between midnight and 3 a.m. on Wednesday, May 8. During the full traffic stop, all lanes on Route 17 southbound and all I-95 on- and off-ramps will remain open.
The full traffic stop is needed to allow crews to move a crane in the median as part of the I-95 Southbound Rappahannock River crossing project. In addition to a new three lane bridge over the Rappahannock River, construction is underway to replace the two I-95 bridges over Route 17.
Message boards on Route 17 northbound will be posted later today to provide advance notice of the work zone and delay.
Virginia State Police will assist with traffic control at the interchange.
Construction to build the $132 million project began in August 2018 and will be underway through May 2022.
The project seeks to reduce I-95 congestion in the Fredericksburg area by providing local traffic with additional lanes to travel between the Route 17 and Route 3 interchanges without merging into the interstate's general purpose lanes.
The Rappahannock River Crossing project will build three new general purpose lanes for I-95 southbound stretching six miles in the current median of I-95. The new lanes will begin in the vicinity of Truslow Road, just north of Exit 133 at Route 17 in Stafford County. The new lanes will end 1.2 miles south of Exit 130 at Route 3 in Fredericksburg, in Spotsylvania County.
The three existing I-95 southbound lanes will be converted to carry those traveling to the Route 17 and Route 3 interchanges, as well as the Safety Rest Area and Virginia Welcome Center.

It was a mild day in May, 1991 I accompanied the architect Oscar Niemeyer and Mayor Jorge Roberto Silveira, searching the coastline a proper Museum of Contemporary Art in Niteroi ground. But along the way, in the viewpoint of Boa Viagem, it was evident that fate had struck. There would be the museum still had no form, but was born with a vocation to be invincible.
The mayor, who was not half measures, commissioned me to invite Oscar Niemeyer, to see if he wanted to make a contemporary art museum in Niteroi. Anna Maria and I went to talk to Oscar. All the little story of the five years following, incidentally, is marked by this magical and feminine presence: a rare and sensitive intuition, its share was as constant and discrete skill that seems implicit, and it is time to register. Because John and Sylvia Sattamini enter the MAC with the collection, and its intelligent generosity already integrates with the museum's success. And critics and curators, believers next time, have a lifetime to cheer him up.

Cyberattack on top Indian hospital highlights security risk
by: ANIRUDDHA GHOSAL, Associated Press
NEW DELHI (AP) — The leading hospital in India's capital limped back to normalcy on Wednesday after a cyberattack crippled its operations for nearly two weeks.
Online registration of patients resumed Tuesday after the hospital was able to access its server and recover lost data. The hospital worked with federal authorities to restore the system and strengthen its defenses.
It's unclear who conducted the Nov. 23 attack on the All India Institute of Medical Sciences or where it originated. Hospital authorities didn't respond to requests for comment.
The attack was followed by a series of failed attempts to hack India's top medical research organization, the Indian Council of Medical Research. This raised further concerns about the vulnerability of India's health system to attacks at a time when the government is pushing hospitals to digitize their records.
More than 173,000 hospitals have registered with a federal program to digitize health records since its launch in September 2021. The program assigns patients numbers that are linked to medical information stored by hospitals on their own servers or in cloud-based storage. Experts fear that hospitals may not have the expertise to ensure digital security.
"Digitizing an entire health care system without really safeguarding it can pretty much kill an entire hospital. It suddenly stops functioning," said Srinivas Kodali, a researcher with the Free Software Movement of India.
That is what happened to the hospital in New Delhi. Healthcare workers couldn't access patient reports because the servers that store laboratory data and patient records had been hacked and corrupted.
The hospital normally treats thousands of people a day, many of whom travel from distant places to access affordable care. Always crowded, queues at the hospital grew even longer and more chaotic.
"The entire system isn't working because of the hack," said Deep Ranjan, who came to New Delhi from northeastern Assam state. He said he had spent five days waiting in line and still has not seen a doctor.
Sandeep Kumar, who accompanied his ill father, said the digital attack meant that appointments couldn't be booked online, and that doctors could do little when they saw patients because they couldn't access their medical history.
"We are digitizing (everything), but then there is an attack on the country's most important medical institute," he said.
On Nov. 30, there were repeated but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to breach the website of the Indian Council of Medical Research, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
The attack on the hospital raised "serious questions about the cybersecurity of the country," said K.C. Venugopal, a member of Parliament from the main opposition Congress party.
India drafted a proposed law governing data privacy last month, but critics say it offers few safeguards to people. It has not yet been passed by Parliament.

The Grand Finale of the show is going to be aired on Sony TV on 24th March 2018, and audience from the entire world are eager to know who the winner is. Watch Super Dancer 2 Grand Finale on Sony TV Live through YuppTV.
Super Dancer is a dance reality show started in September 2016 and has completed its season 1. The present one is the second season of the show and is named Super Dancer Chapter 2. Twelve kid dancers from the ages 4-13 are selected to compete in this show and one of them is selected as the future of Dance. All the kids are accompanied by a choreographer who teaches them and performs along with them in the show. The show is broadcast on weekends with the kid alone performing on Saturday and both the kid and the choreographer performing on Sunday.
The performances are judged by the judges of the show- Shilpa Shetty, Geeta Kapoor, and Anurag Basu. One Dancer is eliminated every week by the number of votes the audience gave for their performance. The Super Dancer chapter two has eliminated 8 of the dancers and the final four contestants will be performing on the day of the Grand Finale. One winner will be selected among them by live voting by the audience.
The contestants who have reached the finals this season are Bishal Sharma, Vaishnavi Prajapati who is a power card entry, Akash Thapa, and Ritik Diwaker. Apart from these, the show also has many favorite contestants like Muskan Sharma who is well known as the Robotic Girl, and the 5-year-olds Akash Mitra and Vaishanvi Prajapati.
Despite the cuteness, the competition is a cutthroat battle between the kids and the choreographers which made the audience grip their seats at the time of elimination. Since the finale is such a big day, everyone who is decently knowledgeable about the show will glue themselves to the television on Sunday, 24th of March. You can enjoy the Super Dancer Chapter 2 Grand Finale live on YuppTV from all around the world. Download the YuppTV App to watch the show on Smartphone or Smart Television.
