David Thielebeule, the former style director of WSJ., the monthly fashion and luxury-focused insert of the weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal, has landed a new job.
He has just been unveiled as the editor in chief and chief creative officer of the new U.S. edition of Grazia, which is published under a licensing agreement with Pantheon Media Group.
"David Thielebeule has worked with the world's most talented artists at leading publications, bringing to life fashion editorial content that has inspired millions of readers around the globe," said Daniela Sola, managing director of international business at Mondadori Media, the owner of Grazia, of its new hire. "We are excited for him to join the Grazia family and to lead the North American team in creating a sophisticated, daring and aspirational product that sets itself apart and brings Grazia to life for the American audience."
Thielebeule departed WSJ. in August for unknown reasons after eight years overseeing all women's and men's style coverage for both the print and digital editions. At the time it didn't appear that he had a new job lined up, as he wrote on Instagram, "Any advice, words of wisdom or leads on new opportunities would be deeply appreciated."
Prior to WSJ., he was accessories director at Allure and a senior editor at Harper's Bazaar. He began his career in fashion at Saks Fifth Avenue before transitioning into editorial at GQ.
"Grazia has been an authority on fashion, beauty and culture for more than 80 years and I look forward to building a team that will continue in that charge — challenging tradition and creating a new, broader, and more inclusive understanding of what it means to be truly glamorous," Thielebeule said.
As for Grazia USA, its digital platform and web site was rolled out in October and it is planning to launch a series of digital covers in 2021, including one to coincide with New York Fashion Week in February — whatever that will look like. There will also be a 300-plus page quarterly print edition — the first of which will be released next September.

Clumsy? Falling? Ouch. When You Can Get Up, Go On.
If you can stop to think about how much, you are distancing a bit from the pain.
The more you can distance from the pain, the less the pain controls you.
The more you can talk, the less serious the pain.
Helps those around you know what is needed. A child able only to cry in pain, needs comforting; an adult not able to talk probably needs 911 called, providing it is not a case of just having the breath knocked out for a few minutes.
Some falls are deadly. Any fall that causes bleeding is deadly for me as I am on blood thinners and could bleed-out quickly. Fortunately, I have had in the many years I have been on blood thinners, only one fall required quick transport to an emergence room.
Falls that break bones when accompanied by paralysis need 911.
Falls that break bones in arms or legs need medical treatment and often that means 911.
Falls that cause temporary loss of consciousness need medical treatment, but not necessarily 911.
Most falls cause emotional angst which generally mean castigating yourself for being clumsy. The following tips are useful when it comes to stopping the self talk attached to emotional pain.
Tip one: Get in the habit of rating pain. . Most likely these days, when you go to a doctor to complain about pain, you are asked to rate pain on a scale of one to ten. That scale is for physical pain.
The general Feeling Thermometer in the side bar measures emotional pain you feel at the moment. If the pain is only momentary, it is best handled by doing one of the Daily Twelve Easy Emotional Fitness Exercises. Be Grateful, Practice Kindness, or Be With Beauty work well in keeping you moving away from emotional pain.
When emotional pain permeates your life or keeps you from doing what you need to do to get move ahead, it needs medical treatment.
Tip two: Develop a slogan to block out useless self talk. It should be short and positive. "Life goes on" and "This will pass" are ones many use. Many people develop their own. I have four or five that get me moving forward. "Lesson learned" helps me most after a clumsy moment leads to a fall. "Taking care" is another one is situations where a fall is more likely,.
Slogans work best when you take a Calming Breath, repeat the slogan several times and then take another Calming Breath.
Tip three: Always remember what matters. Do not make too much of the small hurts of life that includes our moments of clumsiness.
Post Inspiration: This post was inspired by a WordPress Daily Prompt: Clumsy.

est un manga de Hayao Miyazaki, publié entre avril 2009 et janvier 2010 dans le magazine japonais Model Graphix. Il est adapté en film d'animation par l'auteur sous le même titre et sort dans les salles japonaises le .

Synopsis

Personnages

   Hugo Junkers, ingénieur allemand en mécanique, concepteur d'aéronefs et fondateur de la société métallurgiue Junkers & Co. Il développe le premier avion totalement en métal, le Junkers J 1, en 1915. Lors de leur voyage d'études en Allemagne, Jirō et Honjō le croisent par hasard alors qu'ils visitent un des hangars de sa société d'aviation. Il aura une attitude critique envers le parti national-socialiste des travailleurs allemands sous Hitler et sera évincé de sa propre société avant de mourir en 1935.
   Inspiré de Willy Messerschmitt, ingénieur allemand en aéronautique, fondateur de l'entreprise de construction aéronautique Messerschmitt et concepteur du Messerschmitt Bf 109, le principal chasseur allemand de la Luftwaffe durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Son personnage, qui prône la rationalité dans l'innovation technologique, s'oppose à Jirō qui préfère se fier à son intuition.
   Écrivain, diplômé comme Jirō de l'université impériale de Tokyo. Lorsqu'ils se retrouvent au restaurant Pélican, il encourage son ami dans son désir de construire des avions. Inspiré de l'écrivain japonais Tatsuo Hori, dont le roman Le Vent se lève a vraisemblablement inspiré Miyazaki dans le choix du titre de son film, mais également des thèmes qui y sont développés (l'amour du personnage pour une jeune fille atteinte de tuberculose).

I'm a great fan of fantasy but find some a bit too fluffy for my liking - The name of the wind is not 'fluffy' at all, It's a marvellously written book composed by a true genius. Patricks's ability to piece together the story of a boys life and ability to portray the struggles, triumphs and tests along the way is incredible. A marvellous book.
3.0 out of 5 starsGreat blurb, disappointing novel, poor packaging.
TNOTW has been a mainstay of recommended lists for years now so I finally decided to buy both paperbacks.
Rothfuss is a wonderful writer and fully justifies the recommendation from Ursula K. Le Guin on the back cover. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the actual story within the book.
After meeting Kvothe briefly as an adult, we follow along back to his past years as a teenage prodigy brimming with talent, ambition and a conspicuous lack of common sense and humility. Instead of adventuring across the world, much of the book covers Kvothe's time at the University and various taverns. This is not what I expected from the book based on the back covers blurb.
The blurb also makes fantastical claims such as "So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature" and "Shelve The Name of The Wind beside The Lord of the Rings...and look forward to the day when it's mentioned in the same breath, perhaps as first among equals". Sadly both these claims are erroneous as the book isn't anywhere near Erikson's Malazan book of the Fallen or Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, let alone Tolkien's work.
Packaging: TNOTW has had 5mm trimmed from the right-hand side of the cover in order to fit an inner page of glowing reviews. The sequel also shares this packaging and I don't care for it. Font size within the book is smaller than I prefer and the line spacing is cramped, as well as the left and right margins being very small, forcing me to pull the book out and mark the spine. Had I picked this book up in a bookstore I would not have purchased it in this format.
Finally, one small pet peeve: p. 107 " ... that he accused them of doing things I'm sure no donkey has ever willingly done, especially not Beta, who possessed impeccable moral character." Sentences like this one add nothing to the story being told and should be removed in the editing process.
A new friend recommended this and one other from the series (to start with), so I decided to give them a chance, and was pleasantly surprised. When I find myself thinking of the protagonist in moments when I'm not reading, which leads to me wishing that I had that quiet moment to reconnect, then I know I've found a good story. See you soon Kvothe, and thank you Jake.
5.0 out of 5 starsFor lovers of "Game of Thrones"
Exciting, creative, unexpected twists, turns, clever characters twists, saving a princess - this tale has everything a sophisticated fanatsy should have and more - in bucket-loads. Rothfuss creates a complex and dramatic landscape populated by characters that have depth, light and shade - you come to care about them, hate some of them, cheer for others. You understand their motivations and reactions to the events unfolding and now I can hardly wait to sink my teeth into the sequel "The Wise man's Fear".
While I thought it did start of a little slowly and took me a little while to get really into it was well worth it.
I fell in love with the characters and the story is well thought out. I hadn't realised this was a part of a trilogy and finished the book eager to get into the next one, I bought book 2 straight away to continue the story. A real page turner, loved it!
A great start to an epic series. The gaps between the past narrative and present narrative material provide intriguing glimpses into the vast journey yet to be divulged. The plot develops nicely from beginning to end, and showcases some of the most interesting and realistic supporting characters I've read in this genre. Game of Thrones eat your heart out!
I read alot of fantasy fiction back in my days but I stopped for a while. This is the first book after so long That I tried myself on and boys, I was not disappointed. They use the Flashback style, which is very interesting. However, it would also mean that you know the end of the story more or less based on the conversation of the character in the current time. Even so, I think this is a fresh way to write a story and the storyline is still very intriguing. I would recommend this book to anyone who love fantasy books or just fictions in general.
Compelling story well written, at times lyrical. The main character is likeable - flawed but with interesting friends especially the enigmatic Auri - and a wonderfully detestable enemy.
Picked up this book off a random recommendation I found online. It's the best book I've read in a while. I really enjoyed the book and the style it is written in with the strong mysterious characters. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. This is definitely worth a read!
5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic series can't wait for the next book.
Love the slow natural reveal of so many universe facts. If you want instant pay off stay away but the way the two first books are heading the I'm really excited. Excellent complexity and richness in the characters which draws you deeper and deeper. So cleverly crafted the mystery and the expectation are enticing not frustrating.


Any Color Atlas Yoyo - Surprise Me!
It looks like you are browsing our website from a country outside the AU?tag=Whip?tag=kendama-Flips. Click below to show stock for your country.
The Atlas Yoyo, being 25% wider than the majority of yoyos made today, unites characteristics that typically do not coexist in one yoyo, making it great for both new and experienced players alike. For new players the extra width helps make learning basic string tricks and mounts easier. For experienced players it plays light and fast, while its width gives it a surprising amount of stability, making it ideal for competitive play. In fact, in 2015, Jake Elliott used the Atlas to win the World Yoyo Contest defeating 6 time world champion and yoyo legend Takeshi Matsuura. Watch the video of his winning routine above.
The Atlas Yoyo defies expectations. When we first saw the Atlas, we expected it to play slow on account of its size. This is not the case. Surprisingly, we found the Atlas to be one of the fastest and most nimble yoyos we have ever offered. However, unlike many yoyos that play light and fast, the Atlas Yoyo stays on plane even at incredibly low spin power, and resists tilt better than most yoyos available today. The gap width is also finely tuned to ensure that it also comes back to your hand with a snappy bind.
The shape of the Atlas Yoyo also lends itself to 5a style play. The U shaped curve near its center perfectly cradles your thumb and makes catching the yoyo comfortable and easy. Combined with its other features, it is no wonder the Atlas was used to win the 5A world title.
As if all this were not enough, the inner cup of the yoyo also features a small dimple designed to make finger spins easier. The angled slopes of the inner cup direct your finger into the dimple, enabling incredibly long horizontal finger-spin tricks. The Atlas is also great for other grind tricks, particularly finger grinds. Its width makes it easy to catch and helps grinds last an extremely long time.
Even if the only notable characteristic of the Atlas Yoyo was its extreme width, this would be a great yoyo to add to any player's collection. The Atlas, however, is not content to be a simple outlier. It uses its width to achieve what other yoyos cannot – an unexpected combination of speed, control, and stability – advantages that will benefit players at any level of skill.
The Atlas Yoyo includes the Ultraweight, to closely match Jake Elliott's winning set up. The Atlas is also available with discounted accessories here.
YoYoFactory is well known for designing yoyos that you think would not work, but end up being the one of the most enjoyable throws you will ever come to know. YoYoFactory had designed wide yoyos in the past to offer a new experience, but the Atlas was a special project in order to make the best wide yoyo for competitions. There are many benefits to having a wide yoyo for contests, the most obvious being the large area to catch the string, making impossible whip catches an easy reality. Designed with performance in mind, YoYoFactory took the Atlas to the next level with an improved bevel design in the hub of the yoyo to make it the best possible yoyo for finger spins.
The pioneers used an Atlas to guide themselves to a new world, and YoYoFactory brings you the Atlas to guide you through the future.

The Pensions Regulator is urging consumers to keep their eyes and ears open for pension frauds.
People are being reminded to watch out for scam sites that dress themselves up with anti-fraud messaging to pose as legitimate businesses, and also the need to hang up immediately on pension cold callers.
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is the regulator of work-based pension schemes in the UK.
It leads Project Bloom, a multi-agency taskforce which is working with Government, the pensions industry, law enforcement agencies and other regulators to combat pension scams.
Mike Broomfield, TPR's head of intelligence, said: "Scammers are always developing new ways to try to get their hands on people's pensions, so everyone needs to be on the lookout for potential traps.
"Calling pension-scheme members out of the blue and creating impressive-looking websites to snare potential prey are two methods they use to separate victims from their funds.
TPR's industry liaison team recently travelled around the country meeting financial advisers to spread the warning about fraudsters.
Meanwhile, last month, TPR welcomed new measures to ban pension cold calling which will help prevent potential victims from being stripped of their savings.
The Government has announced that it will bring in legislation for a cold-calling ban, tighter rules to prevent the opening of fraudulent pension schemes and restrictions to prevent transfers into scam schemes.
TPR remains concerned about the opportunity for fraud websites to claim fresh victims by targeting the vulnerable or those with limited pensions knowledge.
A number of suspected scam websites have been referred to TPR over the suspicion that they are being dressed up as legitimate investment vehicles – including carrying the Bloom campaign's anti-fraud material without TPR's consent.
Some even imply they are regulated, by carrying warning messages designed to prevent people falling victim to scams, such as making reference to the tax implications over accessing your pension before the age of 55 and the danger of cold callers.

LBPD looking for sexual assault suspect
Photo via the LBPD
The Long Beach Police Department is searching for a suspect accused of sexual assault.
The LBPD says on Aug 11, officers were initially sent to the area of Long Beach Boulevard and Willow Street regarding a burglary at roughly 11:55 p.m. When police arrived, a 22-year-old woman told the officers she was in her home when an unknown man entered through the window. The victim was able to call 9-1-1, and the suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
At roughly 12:10 a.m., officers were sent to the area of Willow Street and Atlantic Avenue concerning a burglary, but police met a 66-year-old woman who said she was sexually assaulted.
The victim at the second location told police a man entered her window and stole her car, the detectives believe the same suspect is responsible for both crimes.
The suspect was described as a Black man between the ages of 45 and 50, with a goatee. Police say the suspect was wearing a black hooded jacket, knitted beanie, black jeans and black shoes.

Meet the Brains Behind Toronto Clothing Line Rosehound Apparel
Bronwen Keyes-Bevan December 5, 2016
She Does The City sat down with Megan Campagnolo, the founder and owner of clothing and lifestyle brand Rosehound Apparel, to find out what it takes to run a successful business.
It's hard to believe that Megan Campagnolo began her working life as a shoe shiner. The twenty-seven year old owns Rosehound Apparel, a dreamy, pop culture-inspired clothing line loved by both in-the-know Torontonians and celebrities alike. (After an encounter with Lena Dunham in Toronto, Campagnolo created a limited edition range of Lenny x Rosehound Apparel patches for the Girls creator who later Instagrammed a picture of herself and her Girls co-stars in some of Megan's creations).
The brand is still in its infancy—Campagnolo launched Rosehound Apparel at Likely General in spring 2014—but in the last two and a half years, the company has gone from strength to strength. Her designs sell online and in stores worldwide. A kitschy mix of pastel knits, eighties film and TV-inspired patches and adorable embroidered shirts in gentle, almost childlike designs have become a hit with a generation of adults who don't want to grow up. Not bad for a girl who, just three short years ago, was shining shoes, flipping burgers and working shifts at Fiesta Farms to make ends meet.
The young entrepreneur runs the company out of her studio on Queen West and business is booming. In fact, Campagnolo recently took on her first employee to help run the day-to-day operations. Rosehound had its genesis in a school project that Campagnolo was working on during her final year of fashion school at Ryerson. She designed a clothing line inspired by nineties cult hit Twin Peaks and went on to develop it into the fully-fledged clothing and apparel line she runs today.
"I'm very aggressively motivated," she says. "Once I have an idea, I stick with it and really run with it."
Capagnolo has found inspiration for her designs everywhere from the melancholic aesthetic of Twin Peaks to abandoned honeymoon motels in the Catskills to Leonardo DiCaprio's face and even from the scattered crumbs of her favourite snack foods. Almost all of her wares are delivered in a tender pastel and hazy seventies-infused palette. Products range from pins, patches and socks to embroidered shirts, 5-panel hats and Rosehound's signature knits.
Campagnolo was just twenty-three when she started the brand and admits there were some dark days in the beginning. "It was a huge financial rollercoaster for the first year," she says. "And I didn't leave my studio at all." She recalls a particularly busy period of production in which she was spending up to twenty hours a day in the studio.
"Some days are harder than others," she says. "Nobody is there to tell you what to do. There's no model. You just have to figure it out as you go."
As Campagnolo's business grows, so too does her skillset as a businesswoman. Between designing and manufacturing, shipping orders, tending to the business' finances and attending events such as pop-up stores and markets, the business certainly keeps her busy.
"I'm constantly working," she says. "I'm answering emails when I first wake up and before I go to bed." The days may be long but her passion for the venture does not seem to have waned in the slightest. In fact, she's already busy designing next year's S/S and F/W lines and is in the early stages of a new Rosehound childrenswear offshoot (to be called Rosebud), which will feature unisex children's clothing.
Campagnolo, who recently married her beau in a Las Vegas ceremony live-streamed for friends back home, is the quintessential millennial hustler. Not yet thirty and already running a successful clothing line, the designer slash business owner (and, lest we forget, once-upon-a-time shoe shiner) embodies an impressive go-get-'em attitude.
She has some words of advice for other young entrepreneurs who are hustling to get their project off the ground:
"It's so cliché to say 'never give up,' but there's always another solution to a problem. If you're ever discouraged about something, you have to remember there will always be another opportunity; there will always be an alternative. You just have to keep chasing those and eventually things are going to work out."

Welcome to jury service in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. Jury duty is an obligation placed on all United States citizens, but it is also an opportunity to become a fundamental participant in this responsibility we all share as Americans. Service as a juror requires no special skills or knowledge; it does require fairness and impartiality, sound judgment, and a willingness to participate with your fellow citizens.
The Judges of this court recognize that your participation in jury service may disrupt your daily life, causing sacrifices such as missing work, losing income and rescheduling appointments. However, I am confident that the time you spend on jury service will be a valuable learning experience. It will provide an opportunity to learn more about our system of justice and how it works, as well as participating in the democratic process.

Q1: What is the significance of North Korea's nuclear test?
A1: The nuclear test represents the latest in a string of provocations dating back to the end of 2008 when Pyongyang walked away from a denuclearization agreement at the end of the Bush administration. It then responded to diplomatic overtures by the new Obama administration by threatening and then carrying out a ballistic missile test (April), proclaiming the end of the Six-Party Talks, and conducting its second nuclear test since October 2006.
A2: The test appears to be related to two factors. First, the nuclear test is part of a broader effort to improve both the North's long-range ballistic missile technology and its nuclear weapons capability. The April missile test, for example, deployed its first and second stages more successfully than the previous test in July, which failed less than a minute after launch. The second nuclear test, moreover, apparently registered seismic activity consistent with a higher yield weapon (10–20 kilotons) than the October 2006 test (less than 1 kiloton).
Second, these tests could reflect a leadership transition in the North in which the stroke-afflicted leader Kim Jong-il is gradually being succeeded by a coterie of hard-line loyalists and members of the Kim family. Internal political fluidity in totalitarian systems like North Korea usually gets externalized in belligerent not conciliatory behavior.
Q3: What do the North Koreans ultimately want?
A3: The standard answer to this question from North Korea experts is that Pyongyang uses such provocations to gain "face-to-face" negotiations with Washington. But Pyongyang has rebuffed all serious efforts by the Obama administration thus far to engage in high-level talks. So what do they want? The history of negotiation and Pyongyang's rhetoric suggest two possible long-term desires.
First, the North may ultimately want nuclear arms reduction negotiations with the United States, in which they are accorded the status of a nuclear weapons state. The ideal outcome of this negotiation, in Pyongyang's eyes moreover, is an agreement that assures them a civilian nuclear energy element and the control of a portion of its nuclear programs outside of international inspection, the latter of which could then serve as their residual nuclear deterrent.
Second, the North may seek a special type of "regime security assurance" from the United States. This stems from the fundamental reform dilemma that the DPRK faces: it needs to open up to survive, but the process of opening up could lead to the regime's demise. Thus, what Pyongyang wants is an assurance that the United States will support and bolster the regime in Pyongyang as the Kim Jong-il (or post–Kim Jong-il) regime goes through the dangerous and potentially destabilizing effects of a reform process. This is different from a negative security assurance already given to North Korea in 2005 when the United States agreed "not to attack North Korea with nuclear or conventional weapons" (Six-Party Talks joint statement, September 2005).
These goals pose formidable challenges for the United States and other members of the Six-Party Talks.

I wonder if all those stars give his car any more power.
Why Batman don't have those problems?!
Thanks Leroy. I did like how the car turned out when I finished coloring it.
Hmm this puts him in a grey area… he's breaking the speed limit while fighting crime… criminal or crime fighter?… you decide!
What a sweet car! Would you ever make your car look like that, Chris?
Thanks for checking out my site. New posts will follow soon. Please feel free to check out my archives for now.
It certainly brightens the look.
Looks like Captain Charlie's got a lead foot! Hope he doesn't get a star-spangled speeding ticket!
Speeding tickets are no fun. I am sure Captain Charlie was on his best behavior with the officer.
Cool! And it matches Wonder Woman's underwear!


Barcelona on a war footing!
A walk through the history of the city's fight for freedom focusing on the Spanish Civil War and also touching on other key conflicts, such as the Reapers' War and the War of the Spanish Succession, as well as some of the most important events of the 19th century which saw the birth of anarchism and workers' associations.
We invite you to discover the city with new eyes while you step into the shoes of the anonymous people who were at the forefront of the conflicts and civil strife of the decades which culminated in the Spanish Civil War in 1936.
This route will take you on a journey from the outbreak of war until the beginning of repression and the dictatorship in 1939. You'll be able to visit the scenes of the events and the places that still bear the visible scars of the conflict, and discover long-overlooked real-life stories and experiences.
Your guide will fill in the background to the conflict and you will relive the military uprising, the taking of the city by the anarchists, the bombings and their impact on the population, the road to exile and the entry of the Nationalist troops into Barcelona.
You'll also be given an insight into previous armed conflicts and the key events of the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were certainly the most tumultuous and eventful years in the history of our country.
Guided tour of Barcelona entitled "The Freedom Trail". The itinerary is as follows: plaça Universitat – plaça de Catalunya – Les Rambles – carrer de Portaferrissa – Pla de la Seu – carrer del Bisbe – plaça de Sant Jaume – carrer de l'Argenteria – Passeig del Born – Mercat del Born.

Tours are free for under 16s.


Seen very quickly at triage, where diagnostic tests were completed and information about the health problem was taken. Was then able to see a Dr in Urgent Care. All staff were polite, professional and efficient. I appreciate the care and treatment provided.
"Very Impressed (yet again) by walk-in services"
I only just visited Chase Farm myself yesterday (urgent Care) and was so impressed by the service that I felt the need to leave a good review. Now today, my daughter was told by her GP to go to Chase Farm walk-in service for a chest X-ray and an ECG.
She had bloods taken a week ago at Chase, which we booked online.....so easy. I must add that when we got to the phlebotomy dept. we checked her in ourselves on the self check-in screen and she was called in immediately and bang on time! Anyway, test results came back to her GP within a week and he told her to get a chest x-ray and an ECG done.
We turned up at Cardiology dept. at about 10:30 and my daughter had her ECG done and dusted within about 10mins. Only afterwards, we realised that the ECG walk-in service wasn't supposed to be open until 2pm (on a Friday) but they had just done it anyway.
We then went to X-ray dept. and again, she was seen immediately. All in all, everything was done in less than 45mins and all staff were friendly and efficient, including porters who stopped to ask if we were lost and gave directions.
I honestly can't believe some people here who have left such negative reviews. The NHS is fantastic and all my latest experiences at Chase Farm have been excellent.
"My wife had to attend three clinics in Chase..."
I had to attend three clinics at Chase Farm Hospital last week the OPAU,CT Imaging and the Endescope department,and and I would like to thank all the staff for their kindness, care and attention it was excellent. Thank You!
Recently accompanied my 89 year old great aunt to Barnet General A&E following a fall and head injury. Although she's physically frail and suffering from a terminal illness she's still all there mentally, and I felt the staff were tremendously respectful, helpful and just good at their jobs. There was a nurse (Kate) and a doctor (Tilna) who were both thorough, competent and pleasant. I'm a doctor myself so I know how difficult it can be to manage all 3 at the same time! Well done.

Markers of Distinction
Robert S. Abbott
Newspaper publisher
On a May evening in 1905, Robert Sengstacke
Abbott appeared on the streets of Chicago selling
his four-page Chicago Defender, proclaiming it "the
only two-cent weekly in the city." Using his
landlady's kitchen table as his desk, Abbott was
the newspaper's publisher, editor, reporting staff,
business manager and sales force.
Born in Georgia to former slaves, Abbott learned
the printing trade at Hampton Institute in Virginia.
He moved to Chicago in 1897 and worked odd jobs
while earning a law degree at Kent College of Law.
Racial discrimination made it virtually impossible for Abbott to earn a living as a printer or lawyer. Instead he turned to journalism.
Abbott's fierce opposition to racism and his entrepreneurial skills elevated the Defender to national prominence. Abbott recruited entertainers and Pullman porters to distribute the paper across the nation, providing them with newspaper coverage in return.
Abbott built the Defender into one of the nation's most influential African-American publications and he is widely regarded as the greatest single force in African-American journalism. His paper's success made Abbott one of the nation's first African-American millionaires. He purchased a house at 4742 South Grand Boulevard (now King Drive) in 1926 and lived there until his death.

Bay Area School Safety Data Flawed, No Oversight
The Investigative Unit uncovers some Bay Area school districts have misreported discipline data to the state
By Jenna Susko, Julie Putnam and Jeremy Carroll	• Published at 12:50 pm on August 6, 2012
Every year the state posts data about violence and drugs in California schools on its website.
The online database appears to be a useful resource, but the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit found some of the data is wrong.
And no one is monitoring the data.
The Investigative Unit
Investigation 10 hours ago
Experts Back Hunters Point Testing Process
Investigation Jan 17
PG&E Judge Threatens Probation Crackdown
To view the data click here.
It is a state system made up of data submitted by school districts across California, mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)
Schools are required to report firearm-related incidents, suspension and expulsions.
The states uses the data to identify "persistently dangerous schools" or PDS.
In California, PDS is based on the number of expulsions recorded for specific violent offenses. If a school expels a high enough number three years in a row, they're designated as PDS.
No California school has received the PDS label since NCLB was implemented about a decade ago.
The investigation found numerous examples of districts submitting inaccurate information.
At the San Lorenzo Unified School District, for example, state records show about half the student body at Lorenzo Manor were suspended last year for bringing firearms on campus.
At San Lorenzo High School alone, there were also 1,500 suspensions for firearm violations.
That's the highest in the state and more than the number of students enrolled there.
"We haven't had a gun in four years," San Lorenzo School District superintendent, Dennis Byas told NBC Bay Area.
So why did the district report 6,500 students suspended for firearms district wide last year?
Byas blamed a reporting error. He says fewer than 1,800 students were suspended last year and none were for firearm offenses.
"There is no way to get around the fact that we reported some numbers that are truly absurd," said Ammar Saheli, Director of Student Support Services at San Lorenzo Unified School District.
He admitted he was not aware of the incorrect data, until NBC Bay Area notified him and said he is working to correct the data.
NBC Bay Area asked Superintendent Byas if he reviewed the data before submitting it.
"No, I don't have time to go through every 300 page document," Byas answered, "most of the time, data is correct. This time it wasn't't."
However the Investigative Unit found it to be inaccurate the year before as well: the San Lorenzo Unified School District did not submit any data for most schools.
"We expect districts to accurately report the data and check the data, before they report to us," Stephanie Papas with the California Department of Education told NBC Bay Area.
"There is no responsibility on the state's part to monitor the data," Papas said.
However the state uses the data to identify PDS.
So if the data is incorrect, the state will not have an accurate picture of what's really happening on California campuses.
One Bay Area school came close to a PDS label by accident.
In 2009, the Mount Pleasant School District in Santa Clara County coded all suspensions and expulsions as firearm incidents by mistake.
That included eleven expulsions at August Boeger Middle School, causing it to be flagged as "at risk" of PDS.
When contacted, no one at the district knew the data was submitted incorrectly.
The district issued this statement in response:
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";} "Here in the Mount Pleasant School District we had someone new to the role, as well as unfamiliar with the different ed-codes for suspension/expulsion. The communication of what expulsion data was required to be entered was not clear from my Offices in Student Support Services. The hard copy of the final report...was not reviewed as it should have been and was submitted with incorrect information. We will be contacting the CDE to see how this can be corrected."
In the Los Altos School District, one student was caught with a knife and another with an air soft gun according to district records. Both were suspended, but neither instances appear in the state data. Both Loyola Elementary and Santa Rita Elementary categorize all their suspensions as "related to physical injury"
The superintendent says he's looking into it.
"I think it's a concern for a lot of parents," 28th District Assemblymember Luis Alejo (D- Salinas) told NBC Bay Area.
Alejo believes the lack of oversight means districts may misreport crimes.
"If school districts think that nobody is going to really review the data then they take it upon themselves to have a lot of discretion how they want to report crimes," he said.
"For some districts it may be flawed, for many districts that report accurately, it's very useful information," Papas argued.
It is useful data and used frequently. The data is cited in studies, on safety website and is used by the media and even lawmakers.
Right now there is no federal funding for the state to monitor or audit the data.
Papas said the state is doing the best they can with the resources they have.
"I believe improvements could be made. I think you addressed one area of improvement, and that could be closer monitoring, at the school site, district and state level," Papas said
This is the first year the state did a check of the submitted data. They say from a quick scan, about 60 reports appear inaccurate, although the state did not identify those districts.
Editor's Note: Some of the campus video featured in this report is generic school video and not necessarily from the schools mentioned.


Simon is a great guy. Firstly he made himself available for an evening appointment to view the car. He was very informative and knew all the history, there was no hard sell and we didn't feel rushed or pushed into making a decision. I would most certainly buy/sell through him again and have already recommended him to two family members who are also looking to change cars. I am totally in love with my new car!
I purchased a commercial vehicle from Simon at SPV, from the first point of contact, to viewing the vehicle Simon did everything he said he would do, from mot, to service, to a professional Valet. This has been a pleasurable experience and a far better service than I have ever had from a main dealership. I would not hesitate in recommending Simon or buying another vehicle. Thank you !
Simon was straight forward and made the whole car buying process simple, the car I chose was exactly as described but better. I will go to Simon again for my next vehicle, he even suggested he could source a car for my partner. Simon was a pleasure to do business with. Thank you Simon.
Simon at SPV was a pleasure to deal with ... he was both knowledgeable and helpful, as well as trustworthy. I'm delighted with the Mini Clubman I purchased from him and would highly recommend his company.
An absolutely wonderful and extremely professional service. I would go so far to say that the service provided was beyond my expectations. We gave Simon a specification for the car we were looking for and her got back to us within 24hrs...not just with what we were looking for but with a higher specification but still within our budget. Simon is very diligent, and friendly. I would highly recommend Simon for the personal, professional and honest touch.
Bought a mini cooper S on line from S.P.V Automotive. Very very satisfied. Little apprehensive buying a car without seeing it but living same 150 miles apart took a chance.Need not have worried, it was as described & complete with a new service, new MOT, half tank of fuel & warranty, excellent. 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.
Simon is very knowledgeable and helpful and sold me a great car at a very competitive price. Highly recommended, I will definitely be returning when I decide to upgrade. Thanks Simon.


Five years ago, when I last interviewed architect Michael Green, he had not yet built a tall wood building. In fact, there were not many of them anywhere, but Michael had just written the book on it with the very long title: THE CASE FOR Tall Wood BUILDINGS: How Mass Timber Offers a Safe, Economical, and Environmentally Friendly Alternative for Tall Building Structures.
What a remarkable five years it has been. Now wood buildings are going up all over the world, with hundreds more of them on the boards. Michael Green has been busy, speaking in thirty countries, building in cities all over the world.
He was in the Toronto area recently for the Tall Wood Symposium, reminding the audience that the entire industry is a mess: "Affordability, safety, climate change, environment, practice, all at a level of existential crisis." If we are going to deal with climate change, "It is all about moving away from carbon intensive building materials and moving to carbon sequestering materials." However the biggest challenge is not the engineering or the materials- it is us.
The problem is not the science but the challenge of changing peoples opinions about what is possible. The challenge we have is moving from emotion to science. We can build like this, we just have to recalibrate our imaginations.
The construction industry is broken but not enough that people want to fix it. Construction is the last craft, everything else is built in a factory everything else has been systematized. Designers work in a room and contractors work in the rain. To anyone outside our industry it makes no sense.
It is time to move beyond and change it. As a craft industry we are dealing with weather, timelines, cost, skills, inaccuracies, errors, and every building we do is essentially a prototype. We have to move from individual project thinking to system thinking.
The system thinking is coming faster than we know; new companies like the startup Katerra are investing many millions in building new factories that will turn out Cross-Laminated Timber panels at lower cost and in far less time than conventional buildings. The company is still in stealth mode judging by its website, but we will try to dig up more information in another post.
Michael Green notes that we cannot lose sight of sustainability; he envisions tracking timber from seedling to system, end to end with a lot of technology in between to ensure that the wood is grown sustainably and used efficiently.
By the end of this talk it was clear that Michael Green has moved well beyond just building wood towers, but is thinking about the future of the entire industry, about "Design, construction, policy, markets, ownership, environmental impact." He is setting up a school to teach about sustainable building (DBR | Design Build Research) and an online version, TOE (Timber Online Education) that is "a platform that can galvanize change in the way we construct our built environment." He's a busy guy.
He goes on to explain what CLT is, and why he prefers to build entirely out of wood instead of in composites with concrete or steel.
But if you really want to get your mind blown, Listen to Michael's vision of the future of wood construction, which he started talking about after the lecture to a student asking why we don't use more hemp in construction; watching this and you might think he is smoking hemp.
He envisions a future where instead of chopping trees into lumber which is then glued or nailed into mass timber, we 3D print it from wood fiber, in the shapes and forms that are most efficient structurally. Then all of the wood fiber will be used and there will be no waste, either on the forest floor or in the building itself. We will not only build using trees, but will build like a tree.
When I visited architect Susan Jones' house in Seattle, I was actually most impressed with this- Susan sent drawings from her computer in Seattle to a CNC cutter in Penticton, BC, where they cut a hole for a window imported from Latvia, that fit right in without the shims and the casing and all the stuff that goes into a typical window installation. I thought that this was the future of construction; in fact, Michael has been there, done that. Michael Green shows that we really are just getting started; we are entering a different world.
The way we build and the materials we use are changing, and we ain't seen nothin' yet.
Could you build the Empire State Building out of wood?

First Edition (2018)acadeuro2020-09-14T10:16:57+00:00
The Barcelona Hypatia European Science Prize in its first edition recognises Dr. László Lovász, mathematician and President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2014‒present), for his outstanding career in the field of mathematics and for his contribution to social progress.
This Prize was launched by the Barcelona City Council in collaboration with the Academia Europaea-Barcelona Knowledge Hub within the framework of the "Barcelona City of Science" programme, which seeks to project the city as a European capital of research and innovation. The main goal of the Prize is to spotlight science, as well as to promote, support and enhance the value of excellent research conducted in Europe and of its impact on society.
The Prize features a monetary award of 30,000 euros, and the winner will deliver a Distinguished Lecture on his research career at the Saló de Cent (Barcelona City Council's Main Hall) on February 5, 2019, in the presence of the Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau.
For this first edition, the five members comprising the Selection Jury were: Dr. Sierd Cloetingh, Jury President and also President of Academia Europaea; Dr. Ricard Guerrero, Jury Secretary; and Dr. Anna Omedes, Dr. María Josefa Yzuel, and Dr. Ignasi Casanova, Jury Members. Also in attendance, having a voice but not a vote, was Ms. Kimberly Katte, Manager of the Barcelona Knowledge Hub of the Academia Europaea.
An outstanding researcher in mathematics, putting science to the service of society
From the twenty-three candidates nominated for the first edition of the Prize, corresponding to the area of Science and Technology, Dr. Lovász was chosen by the Selection Jury in recognition of his outstanding career and research conducted at the highest international level, which has generated social impact in Hungary and abroad, putting mathematics as a scientific discipline to the service of society. Dr. Lovász, considered one of the best mathematicians alive, especially stands out in the fields of combinatorial optimisation, algorithms, complexity, graph theory and random walk (RW). His main contributions include the weak perfect graph conjecture, the Lovász local lemma, and the Lenstra–Lenstra–Lovász (LLL) lattice basis reduction algorithm.
Dr. Lovász has received numerous awards and prizes, such as the Fulkerson, Grünwald, Pólya, Kyoto, John von Neumann, Gödel, Széchenyi, Knuth and Wolf prizes, and he has been appointed to more than a dozen academic and scientific societies, in the United States, Europe (Academia Europaea), Germany (Leopoldina), Holland and Sweden. As former President of the International Mathematical Union, he promoted collaborations with mathematicians and the public acceptance of mathematics as a scientific discipline to the service of society.
As President of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences since 2014 and current President of the World Science Forum (WSF), Dr. Lovász has been a champion of scientific freedom, having made significant, lasting contributions toward dialogue between science and society throughout the world. The WSF organises biennial conferences, with the next one scheduled to take place in Budapest, November 20‒23, 2019.
Barcelona's commitment to science
The Hypatia Prize is an example of Barcelona's strong commitment to science and seeks to project the city as a European capital of research and innovation. The Prize aims to recognise an outstanding scientist or researcher who has conducted her/his career in Europe at the highest international level and has had a strong influence on different fields of knowledge and a positive impact on society.
The Hypatia Prize will be awarded annually and will follow a triennial cycle, rotating each year among three major areas of knowledge:
Science and Technology (category of this first edition of the Prize, 2018)
Life and Health Sciences (2019)
Humanities and Social Sciences (2020)
The call for candidates is aimed at scientists and researchers who have carried out their research in a European country, having achieved a career of excellence at the highest international level, a positive influence on society and social well-being, and impact on different fields of knowledge. Nominations must be made by Members of Academia Europaea.
The name of the Prize honours Hypatia of Alexandria (344‒415), a woman scientist and philosopher who successfully bridged and disseminated all scholarly disciplines known during her time and who, for this same reason, was assassinated by the forces of ignorance and fanaticism.
The Hypatia Prize constitutes one of the main features of the Barcelona Science Plan, a strategic initiative of Barcelona City Council to promote the science and research infrastructures of the city, involving joint efforts by the scientific, academic, business and community sectors.

    </cut-path>

It is used for the Cut-Server program.
Is it possible to convert it to SVG format?
In principle, you can rename cut-path to path, etc., but what about the coordinates?
I will be very grateful for the help.
P.S. Online converters do not accept this format.
Dimension numbers are in the format: 6431/1000 = 6.431 cm

A: It is possible to convert to svg.
It's unclear what exactly the commands are (especially without an image to see what it looks like i.e. working blind).
Also the origin of the coordinate system maybe different to standard svg.
I guess "point" is "moveto" in svg, "spline" is "curveto".
You ignore the first x0 and y0 as they are stated as the last coordinates of the previous spline.

    "
    stroke="black" stroke-width="5" fill="none"/>
</svg>

I've added stroke="black" stroke-width="5" fill="none" as I think you want a line rather than a filled shape. Also you likely want scaling: the svg is too big to be seen on screen (required horizontal scrolling).
It's an advanced find and replace text exercise. If you have thousands of these, a script in SED https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed would be worth doing, but that's of course compatibility, use of SED, learning, time, etc..

Q: GCP Bigquery Error in Load Operation: Bytes are Missing I am very new to Google Cloud Platform and I'm trying to create a table in bigquery from ~60,000 csv.gz files stored in a GCP bucket.
To do this, I've opened Cloud Shell, and I'm trying the following:
$ bq --location=US mk my_data
$ bq --location=US \
     load --null_marker='' \
     --source_format=CSV --autodetect \
     my_data.my_table gs://my_bucket/*.csv.gz

This throws the following error:
BigQuery error in load operation: Error processing job 'my_job:bqjob_r3eede45779dc9a51_0000017529110a63_1':
Error while reading data, error message:
FAILED_PRECONDITION: Invalid gzip file: bytes are missing

I don't know how to find which file might be problematic when loading the files. I've checked a few of the files, and they are all valid .gz files that I can open with any csv reader after decompression, but I don't know how to check through all the files to find a problematic one.
Thank you in advance for any help with this!

A: To loop through your bucket, you can use the eval command
#!/bin/bash
FILES="gsutil ls gs://YOUR_BUCKET"
RESULTS=$(eval $FILES)
for f in $RESULTS
do
  read="gsutil cat $f | zcat | wc -c"
  if [[ $(eval $read) == "0" ]]
    then
        #<Process it, Print name or Delete from bucket like below>
        delete="gsutil rm $f"
        eval $delete
    fi
done

Another option is to download all your files locally, if possible, and process from there:
gsutil -m cp -R gs://YOUR_BUCKET .

A: There might be .gz files that do not contain any data within. You might want to write a script which will filter if the .gz files are valid.
This sample bash script will do a directory loop through the .gz files and delete them if they are empty.
for f in dir/*
do
    if [[ $(gunzip -c $f | head -c1 | wc -c) == "0" ]]
    then
        do_file_creation
    fi
done


Section 8 housing, also known as housing choice vouchers, are available to United States residents who do not make enough money to make rent or mortgage payments. Drafted as Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937, housing choice vouchers are administered by local public housing authorities (otherwise known as PHAs) and supported by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
This means your local PHA can help you arrange and apply for Section 8, but they are guided by federal funds and regulations.
Since it is a federal program, the application process can be lengthy and complicated. Oakleaf Properties is here to help applicants and residents get the aid and the homes they need. That being said, it's always a good idea to be prepared.
Applicants must be a US citizen or a non-citizen with eligible immigration status.
Annual earnings must be less than 50% of the median income for the county/city of requested residence as verified by current paystubs.
Any additional assets will be factored into eligibility, including real property, vehicles, savings accounts, investments, etc.
To expedite the application process, be sure to have as many documents available as possible. This includes paystubs, residential histories, social security numbers of all family members, asset breakdown, and so forth.
Keep in mind, as part of its regulatory requirements, local PHAs must provide 75% of its vouchers to families who earn less than 30% of the local median income. This ensures that the funding from the government-funding program goes to the people who need it most. Also, while you may qualify and be eligible for housing assistance, approval is based on several factors, including availability and local county established preferences and priorities.

Snowshoeing is a low-impact, calorie burning exercise that allows you to get out in nature and stave off cabin fever. Add a dog and voila! It's the perfect snowy day activity for you and your canine companion to enjoy together.
As with any new exercise, it's always best to check with your veterinarian. Most trim and fit dogs should do fine, but remember, walking through deep snow is physically demanding for your dog, so be sure to start out with a short outing and gradually build up to longer ones. Also, take a day pack and carry plenty of water and snacks for you both.
Don't forget to check your dog's paws for ice and snow, which can clump between your dog's pads, resulting in painful ice balls. You might consider getting protective booties and/or having hairy paws trimmed. In addition, if your dog is not dressed in a heavy fur coat, like a Husky or Malamute, he might benefit from a man-made coat. There is outdoor gear for dogs that will not only keep your short-haired dog warm, but also the dog coats are breathable and water resistant.
Make sure the place you are planning to visit is dog-friendly, and if so, find out what the rules are. Some places allow dogs only in certain areas or at certain times of day, and there may be a charge. Also, your dog may be required to be on a leash or skijoring equipment (harness for the dog, a belt for the human and a towline to connect them). If your dog is off-leash, it's important to be considerate of other trail users and keep your dog under control and out of the way. Another thing to be mindful of in North Idaho is trapping on public lands. Trapping seasons are open in Idaho for a variety of species at different times of the year, especially fall and winter. For more information go to the Idaho Fish and Game website.
As for the "doo," you know what to do. That's right, pick it up and pack it out. Good doggy etiquette helps to keep the trails dog friendly.
Don't let the winter weather keep you on the couch. Get out of the house and into nature's beauty. You will be spending quality time with best friend, which will no doubt result in happy tails and tales. Have fun out there!

Angel Danish (German: Angeldänisch, Danish: Angeldansk or Angelbomål) was a variant of South Jutlandic spoken in the area of Angelia (German: Angeln;, Danish: Angel) and Swania (German: Schwansen, Danish: Svansø) in Southern Schleswig partly until the 20th century. Both landscapes belonged to the Danish Duchy of Schleswig until 1864, since then to Germany.

Characteristic of Angel Danish was among other the tonal pitch accent (like in the Danish dialects of Als and Langeland as well as in Swedish and Norwegian) and the fricative for the hard G (like today in the Angel Low German). There were also elevations from O to U (instead of Danish honning it was hunne in Angel Danish, cf. Icelandic hunang). There were also older Nordic forms such as hvénner (German wenn, Danish hvornår, Old Norse hvenær), mjølk (German Milch, Danish mælk, Old Norse mjólk) or gut (German Junge, Danish dreng, Norwegian gutt). However, there were also adoptions from German such as teller (Danish tallerken) or hunger (Danish sult)..

The dialect has never been an official school or church language. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Angel Danish was increasingly replaced by Low and High German. The last record of the dialect was made in northern Anglia in the 1930s. A travelogue from 1813 documents the language change from Angel Danish to German in Swania in the first half of the 19th century.

Q: Why doesn't Inno Setup constant {userdesktop} work in OutputDir directive and how to fix it? I created Inno Setup script, which works perfectly, but I wanted to change OutputDir to create the output file on my desktop. But instead of creating output file on desktop it was creating subfolder {userdesktop} at the same directory, where script is and output was inside.
I found solution so far, but I believe there should be better way. What am I missing?
; these attempts didn't work
[Setup]
OutputDir={userdesktop}
; some more attampts:
OutputDir=userdesktop
OutputDir=userdesktop:
OutputDir="{userdesktop}"

; this workaround worked for me
[Setup]
OutputDir=userdocs:..\Desktop

A: Constants like {userdesktop} are resolved on install time (on the target user's machine), not on compile time (on your development machine). So it makes no sense to use constants in compile-time only directive like OutputDir. And actually it's not possible to use them at all (as it's useless).

With the default user profile directory layout, use you can use the userdocs: prefix, as you did:
[Setup]
OutputDir=userdocs:..\Desktop

Though it's not a perfect solution, as the "Documents" folder can be moved by the user and then the userdocs:..\Desktop will not point to the desktop.

A more reliable solution is to use USERPROFILE environment variable using GetEnv preprocessor function:
[Setup]
OutputDir={#GetEnv('USERPROFILE')}\Desktop

Q: Heroku Django App + Azure PostgreSQL DB - slow connections I have an app hosted on heroku and moved my DB to azure recently, because of the way SSL is handled by heroku postgres.
Even though my new Azure Postgres is plenty more potent than the former heroku:postgres equivalent, I am encountering severe slow downs.
I have setup PGBouncer to use connection pooling but I am still not seeing the the performance improve.
Any clues as to what I could try?

A: You're running into network latency issues between Heroku (which runs at AWS) and Azure.  All your traffic has to go across the public internet between the two data centers.
