Dreslers Park ist eine denkmalgeschützte Parkanlage in der nordrhein-westfälischen Stadt Kreuztal.

Bei dem Park handelt es sich um eine großflächig zusammenhängende Grünanlage, in deren Mitte sich zwei historische Villen nebst ehemaligen Stallungen befinden.

Geschichte

Erbaut wurden sie von Heinrich Adolf Dresler (1835–1929) und dessen Bruder Friedrich Wilhelm Dresler (1839–1901). Die beiden hatten 1860 das "Kreuzthaler Walzwerk" von ihrem Vater Johann Dresler III. übernommen. Als es für die Brüder immer schwieriger wurde, das Werk von Siegen aus zu leiten, ließen sie eine imposante Parkanlage und das sogenannte Weiße Haus an der Hauptstraße nach Krombach erbauen, welches sie 1869 bezogen.

Die  gesamte, ursprüngliche Parkanlage war zu Lebzeiten der Brüder wesentlich größer als heute und enthielt zahlreiche Wirtschaftsflächen, die vor allem für die Land- und Viehwirtschaft genutzt wurden. Neben dem eigentlichen Park gab es Felder, Wiesen und Weiden sowie Obst- und Gemüsegärten.

1882 erbaute Wilhelm Dresler die Gelbe Villa unmittelbar neben dem Weißen Haus, und die Parkfläche wurde unter den Brüdern aufgeteilt. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg stand der Park bis 1950 unter dem Kommando der Alliierten.

Im Laufe der Zeit wurden Parkflächen als Bauland veräußert oder fielen der wachsenden Infrastruktur zum Opfer. Übrig geblieben ist der Teil des Parks, der heute für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich ist. Das Parkgelände wurde im Jahr 1989 von der Stadt Kreuztal erworben und 1997 offiziell als Bürger- und Kulturzentrum der Stadt eröffnet.

Der Park wurde mit allen Aufbauten, zu denen noch ein Musikpavillon gehört, am 29. März 1990 in die Denkmalliste der Stadt Kreuztal eingetragen.

Im Einzelnen verfügt der Park heute über die Weiße Villa (Tagungs- und Sitzungsräume, Platz für kulturelle Veranstaltungen), die Gelbe Villa (Trauzimmer des Standesamtes, Seminarräume sowie das Stadtarchiv), Kutscherhaus (Restaurant) und die Remise der Weißen Villa (Kindertagesstätte).

The 10 best Super Bowl national anthem performances of all time
Chuck Arnold

Whitney Houston obviously takes the cake among national-anthem singers. But the competition over the years has been stiff. Getty Images

Patrick Mahomes' heroic effort only adds to unmistakeable legacy
Emotional Bengal shows accountability for costly penalty: 'I've got to learn'
Heroes, zeros from Eagles' NFC Championship win: Pass-rusher wreaked havoc
Why 49ers coach didn't challenge huge missed call
While she was backed by a choir decked out in all white, country star Mickey Guyton turned the national anthem into a stirring statement about the diversity of the US at Super Bowl 2022.
Her assured, confident performance set the stage for the Los Angeles Rams to tackle the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. (The hometown Rams won, 23-20.)
But who are the most super "Star-Spangled Banner" singers of all at the big game?
Here, we rank the Top 10 to ever belt it out.
10. Demi Lovato (2020)
The national anthem is perfect for a singer like Lovato, who has the pipes but sometimes lacks the personality as an artist.
Technically, the "Give Your Heart a Break" belter hit all the right notes — and looked fab doing so, in her white pantsuit — and delivered a purist's rendition that scored with the Super Bowl masses.
9. Renée Fleming (2014)
Backed by the Armed Forces Chorus, the soprano showed all those dudes on the field who was the head diva in charge with her classical powers that turned MetLife Stadium into the Metropolitan Opera House for three minutes.
Opera singer Renée Fleming signs the national anthem during Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks on February 2, 2014 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
8. Mariah Carey (2002)
Just a few months after 9/11, Carey did the honors at the New Orleans Superdome, where Tom Brady won the first of his six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots. (He's going for his seventh quarter-backing the Buccaneers on Sunday.) Giving her vocals some of that Mimi melisma — complete with her trademark whistle notes — a peak Carey reminded us that we belonged together when we needed it most.
7. Billy Joel (1989 and 2007)
Strong Island's own piano man has the distinction of being one of only two singers — the other being Aaron Neville — to perform the national anthem twice at the Super Bowl, so he has to make this list. And they were two very different renditions: In 1989, he sang it a cappella, while in 2007 — with decidedly less hair — he played the keys as he sang Francis Scott Key's lyrics.
6. The Chicks (2003)
The artists formerly known as the Dixie Chicks — no strangers to political controversy — let their three-part harmonies melt the nation into sweet unity. With minimal accompaniment, the purity of their voices met the moment by bringing home the lyrics and diffusing all divisiveness.
The Chicks perform the National Anthem before Super Bowl XXXVII between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders on January 26, 2003 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California.

5. Luther Vandross (1997)
The sultan of soul responsible for a generation of babies being made, Vandross came the closest that anyone has ever come to turning "The Star-Spangled Banner" into a quiet-storm slow jam in 1997. All it was missing was some incense.
Luther Vandross performs the National Anthem before Super Bowl XXXI on January 26, 1997 at the Louisiana Superdome.
4. Beyoncé (2004)
Befitting the hometown queen that she was, Bey was offered the choice of either singing the national anthem or performing during the halftime show in her native Houston in 2004. She opted for doing a "Star-Spangled Banner" that proved she had serious vocal game, but the stellar moment was overshadowed by Janet Jackson's infamous halftime show nip slip. Let's not forget of course that Bey herself went on to slay the halftime show not once but twice (2013 and 2016).
Beyonce sings the National Anthem to kick off Super Bowl XXXVIII.
3. Lady Gaga (2016)
Five years before she sang the national anthem at this year's presidential inauguration, Gaga blew away the men in tights with her powerhouse pipes in 2016. And for good measure, she came back to headline the halftime show in Houston the very next year.
2. Jennifer Hudson (2009)
Beyoncé's Oscar-winning "Dreamgirls" co-star belted those notes fiercer than any linebacker ever could when she took the field at Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida, in 2009. The performance was a show of true resilience and strength: Just a few months before, Hudson's mother, brother and nephew were murdered.
Jennifer Hudson performs the national anthem prior to the start of Super Bowl XLIII between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers on February 1, 2009 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
1. Whitney Houston (1991)
With a gospel-influenced arrangement inspired by Marvin Gaye, Houston — rocking that iconic white tracksuit, with matching headband — will always be the MVP of Super Bowl national-anthem singers. No doubt, she was the bomb bursting in air that night.

11/23/2018 – This will be short to match the abbreviated trading on the U.S. exchanges and the very low volume due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Well the trend continues to be down but we're right at an important support level of 6880 (red line) on the NASDAQ Composite Index (see below). To move higher I'll have to see a close above 7225 (green line) and some measured buying volume returning.
Trade tariff concerns, BREXIT and general international economic concerns are just making buying common stocks a difficult decision. Oil has dropped dramatically over the past month and there just is a negative "funk" in the world markets; no one is in a hurry to do anything it seems. I sure would like to see a Selling Climax to wash out the weak hands. There really aren't any "strong" sectors presently, so I'll forgo that for the time being.
I thought it would be nice to take a look at how the big trend following hedge funds are doing as we close out the year. This data is from the website http://www.automated-trading-system.com/trend-following-wizards-october-2018/ , it's free and you too can subscribe to it; it comes out monthly.
You can see that there are some very big funds with assets under management (AUM) in the billions of $. But . . . look at how they are doing ! So don't feel to bad about your own performance as these pros typically get 2% fixed of assets + 10% of your gains. It doesn't look like a good year for any of them.
That's it for now. Next week should set the environment for the rest of 2018 as many traders return. I'm heavy in Cash right now and that looks OK to me.


A new in-car safety system is being developed to replace the "voice in your head", or even that of a passenger, saying that you are driving too fast.
Engineers at Japan's Fukuoka Institute of Technology are developing what they call a "safe driving promotion system" in collaboration with heavy goods vehicle maker UD Trucks. The system will sense when you are driving too close to another vehicle to stop in time.
The immediate risk of your driving technique is then brought starkly home by an audible warning of how badly you would be injured if you crashed. This warning could take various forms, ranging from a blunt "you would die if you crashed at this speed," or "your car could burst into flames if it rolled over here," to a dramatic "dear God you're going to kill us all!"
Currently patent-pending, the system uses the cameras, radar, sonar and laser sensors already found in many modern cars to assess the distance to the car in front. It can then use data from your reaction time during previous journeys, ie. how quickly you have braked when another car's brake lights have come on, and uses this along with your kinetic energy at the time to calculate whether you would be able to stop in the event of an emergency.
The type of audible warning will depend on the severity of the impending risk.


Delayed treatment with cannabidiol has a cerebroprotective action via a cannabinoid receptor-independent myeloperoxidase-inhibiting mechanism.
We examined the neuroprotective mechanism of cannabidiol, non-psychoactive component of marijuana, on the infarction in a 4 h mouse middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion model in comparison with Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta(9)-THC). Release of glutamate in the cortex was measured at 2 h after MCA occlusion. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cerebral blood flow were measured at 1 h after reperfusion. In addition, infarct size and MPO were determined at 24 and 72 h after MCA occlusion. The neuroprotective effect of cannabidiol was not inhibited by either SR141716 or AM630. Both pre- and post-ischemic treatment with cannabidiol resulted in potent and long-lasting neuroprotection, whereas only pre-ischemic treatment with Delta(9)-THC reduced the infarction. Unlike Delta(9)-THC, cannabidiol did not affect the excess release of glutamate in the cortex after occlusion. Cannabidiol suppressed the decrease in cerebral blood flow by the failure of cerebral microcirculation after reperfusion and inhibited MPO activity in neutrophils. Furthermore, the number of MPO-immunopositive cells was reduced in the ipsilateral hemisphere in cannabidiol-treated group. Cannabidiol provides potent and long-lasting neuroprotection through an anti-inflammatory CB(1) receptor-independent mechanism, suggesting that cannabidiol will have a palliative action and open new therapeutic possibilities for treating cerebrovascular disorders.

Fognini suspended from US Open, withdrawn from doubles
NEW YORK (AP) Fabio Fognini was kicked out of the U.S. Open doubles tournament Saturday and faces a possible permanent ban from all Grand Slam events after vulgarly insulting the chair umpire during his first-round loss in singles.
If the Grand Slam Board determines Fognini committed a ''major offense,'' the Italian also could be fined up to $250,000 for violating the code of conduct.
Fognini, who was seeded 22nd in singles, was fined a total of $24,000 on Friday by the U.S. Open - nearly half of his $50,000 prize money in singles - for unsportsmanlike conduct during his 6-4, 7-6 (8), 3-6, 6-0 loss to Stefano Travaglia on Wednesday. Fognini was cited by the tournament for three violations, carrying fines of $15,000, $5,000 and $4,000. The chair umpire was Louise Engzell.
Fognini's suspension went into effect immediately, so he was withdrawn from the doubles tournament, where he and countryman Simone Bolelli had advanced to the third round.
After they won their second-round match on Friday - but before any repercussions for what happened in singles had been announced - Fognini was asked about the possibility of being penalized.
''When someone makes a mistake, they apologize. Accepted or not accepted, at this point that's not up to me,'' said Fognini, who is married to 2015 US. Open women's singles champion Flavia Pennetta. ''Everyone makes mistakes. Certainly, I've had bad days. And I will have others, like every human being.''
Fognini and Bolelli won the Australian Open doubles title in 2015.
The board said the major offenses were under the sections of Article IV, dealing with ''aggravated behavior'' and ''conduct contrary to the integrity of the game.'' Violation of either section could lead to the permanent suspension from the four major tournaments and the $250,000 penalty.
The board said there would be no further comment until the process is completed.
Fognini, known as a volatile player, was fined $27,500 by Wimbledon in 2014 for his outbursts during a first-round victory.

Le mahzor Luzzatto est un livre de prière juif médiéval écrit et enluminé entre la fin du  et le début du  en Bavière. Son nom fait référence à l'un de ses anciens propriétaires, l'intellectuel juif italien Samuel David Luzzatto (1800-1865).

Contenu

Le mahzor Luzatto est un recueil de prières de Roch Hachana et Yom Kippour de tradition ashkénaze. C'est un infolio de 451 feuilles sur fort vélin. Le texte, rédigé en hébreu, est composé en écriture carrée. Les indications à l'officiant et aux fidèles sont indiquées en lettres rabbiniques. Les premières en écriture italienne puis en écriture allemande. Il existe aussi quelques additions tardives en yiddish. Certains passages sont barrés par la censure mais demeurent lisibles.

Histoire
Des annotations marginales permettent de retracer en partie l'histoire de l'ouvrage. Il a appartenu successivement à des communautés juives d'Alsace, de la région du lac de Constance, d'Italie du Nord, de France. Ces différents propriétaires ont modifié le texte par des annotations pour refléter leurs traditions liturgiques. Le manuscrit est ensuite acquis par Samuel David Luzzatto (1800-1865), un intellectuel juif italien, poète, théologien et collectionneur de livres anciens. À sa mort, ses manuscrits et ouvrages rares sont acquis par plusieurs institutions culturelles européennes. C'est ainsi que l'Alliance israélite universelle (AIU) devient propriétaire du mahzor Luzzatto en 1870. Il a depuis lors été présenté à deux reprises au public. Lors de l'exposition D'une main forte organisée par la BnF en 1991 puis en 2018 dans l'exposition Saints et croyants, les juifs d'Europe du Nord au Moyen Âge du Musée des antiquités à Rouen.

L'AIU charge, le 19 octobre 2021, Sotheby's de mettre en vente aux enchères le Mahzor Luzzatto. L'Alliance justifie ce choix par le besoin d'équilibrer les comptes de sa bibliothèque qui pâtit d'un déficit financier important.

Strategic HR
Diversity and Inclusion, How to's
A new way to benchmark and improve your organisation's diversity and inclusion
By Girard Dorney, HRM Online
2 July, 2020 September 7, 2020
Making your organisation more diverse and inclusive doesn't have to begin with a grand strategy.
There is something intimidating about the concept of diversity and inclusion. Not only because it asks you what you truly value, and insists you take a hard look at yourself and the place where you work, but because these days it feels both pervasive and monolithic. So if you're an HR professional, you might find you can't escape it even as tackling it feels like too big a task to get started on.
But it doesn't have to be scary. The Australian HR Institute has recently pushed its diversity and inclusion maturity model into the spotlight. Worked on by its diversity and inclusion advisory committee, which is packed with a who's who of experts – including people who have worked with LendLease, Coca Cola Amatil and Commonwealth Bank, just to name a few – the model is designed to help organisations understand where they are at , and plan where they want to go. It's most interesting feature is that it has been created so it can be used by every organisation, from those who've just started their journey to those that want to benchmark their sizeable achievements.
HRM spoke to Elizabeth Griffin, head of diversity, inclusion and wellbeing at a top ASX company and member of AHRI's Diversity and Inclusion advisory committee, about the model's design and application.
Applicable to everyone
To create a model that is applicable to every type of organisation, regardless of size or sector, you have to find the balance with regards to simplicity. Too much and it won't help anyone, too little and it will only help a select few.
"What we heard from people is that they don't want a model that is too complex and too theoretical. Obviously it has to be based on some theory, but it has to be quite practical. So we decided on the three levels, and said let's get really clear on what those levels are," says Griffin.
There are three levels of maturity in the model.
Level one is any organisation that is compliant with the laws around diversity and inclusion.
Level two is an organisation that has gone beyond compliance and has established at least some D&I programs
Level three is an organisation that has diversity and inclusion deeply embedded in its culture.
To help people understand and use the levels, the panel came up with four stages that will help frame any strategy: Define, diagnose, design and implement/evaluate. Each has several talking points and practical steps that can be taken.
Nevertheless, it's a bold decision to conclude that three stages of maturity can cover every organisation. So it's not surprising to learn there was some discussion in the model's development about this.
Level one and three are quite clear, says Griffin. The former is a base level, before a real journey has begun, the latter is an indicator that diversity and inclusion has become self-sustaining.
"We did kind of 'umm and ahh' about whether we could have a couple [more] levels in there. In the end we said, 'Level two is quite a wide level, it is about more than just compliance. It is a more strategic approach, but it's still quite programmatic.'"
To get from level one to level two all you will need to have done is begun some sort of an attempt. The jump can be accomplished with something as simple as a recruitment drive designed to get more diverse employees on board. At the same time, you could have a dozen diversity and inclusion initiatives in all parts of your organisation and you wouldn't necessarily have moved beyond level two. The difference is in whether or not you rely on those initiatives to drive diversity and inclusion.
A key reason for having level two on such a continuum, says Griffin, is to encourage organisations to not be limited by a formula.
"It's not like you have to start at one and go through to three. If you have a black swan event, such as COVID-19 or you've just gone through a merger, you've got the opportunity to really embed diversity and inclusion into the way you do things from a cultural point of view," she says.
So you could go from being on the lower end of the level two continuum – or even at level one – and rapidly transform into a level three organisation. Similarly, the three levels allow organisations to take into account their own context and dissuades them from pretending that the context of their business doesn't matter.
"I always say to be really clear about what you want and the investment. So, if you don't want to put the investment into this, just go with level one. But you're not going to reap the rewards of a level three organisation if you're just putting in that effort," says Griffin.
Another big advantage of the three-level approach is that it discourages a gamified or ranking-focused mindset. You do not want to encourage the behaviours that would lead some organisation to slap "level five D&I company" on its employment branding.
A living model
The two questions a lot of people ask when they hear there is a pinnacle to be reached are, "Are we a level three?" and "So who is a level three?"
But such questions are a little misplaced. Diversity and inclusion is not what its critics claim. It isn't a symbolic gesture. As much as anything else, it is a value.
Think of it this way. Imagine you were a company that in 2017 had made a radical shift in its culture and prioritised gender diversity. By mid-2020 you had proportional representation across all roles and at every level of seniority. It had gotten to the point that if a team was all-women, or a newly-advertised role only had men applying, people automatically investigated because it seemed odd.
If this was the state of affairs, you might rightly think of yourself as a level three organisation.
Then Black Lives Matter protests erupt across the globe. Lots of people in your organisation look around and realise they have no Indigenous colleagues and very few people in senior leadership aren't white.
Given the situation, in order to once again 'achieve' a level three status, your organisation would need to think about how it could comprehensively embed its new attitude.
"It's a journey rather than a destination. The context globally, and in our society, keeps changing. Even if you get to level three, you're constantly evolving your DNA. You are constantly evolving what it means. And just when you think you might be there, something else turns up," says Griffin
There's an old joke that goes: if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
If there's an advantage to a model as flexible as this, it's that it takes into account that reality rarely lines up with our expectations. It also forefronts the idea that sincerely held values are better than goals. It's not that there's an absence of strategy or targets, just an acknowledgment that your beliefs will outlast them.
Griffin says that, at the very least, the way the model has been structured should get people to open up and figure out what they want to do.
"One of the really good things about this model is that it can start a conversation in your organisation with a range of different stakeholders. If nothing else, you can have that discussion: where are we, where do we want to be and what do we need to do to get there?"

Timely article. Agree, It isn't a symbolic gesture. As much as anything else, it is a value.

This is my quote if the day "It also forefronts the idea that sincerely held values are better than goals. It's not that there's an absence of strategy or targets, just an acknowledgment that your beliefs will outlast them."
That one is going straight to the pool room. Love it.
Phil Volkofsky
Is is so good to read a note like this. The tone clearly indicates that the working group have got a lot right about this issue of Diversity and Inclusion. One of the most important levels of awareness is when we realise that our everyday behaviour includes some and excludes others – by definition.
Who do we find we "belong" with? How has that come about? Do we consciously determine that? What is the impact on those not included? In a work place the implications of unconscious behaviour in this area can be profound. Well done!

Q: Image colors changed after saving with PIL I tried to create very simple image consisting of two columns - one green and the other one in red, but when I run script that is shown below I got an image in other colors.
Any idea why it happens?
from PIL import Image

list=[(0,255,00),(255,0,0),(0,255,00),(255,0,0),(0,255,00),(255,0,0)]
a=Image.new('RGB',(2,3), "white")
a.putdata(list)
a.save('my_picture.jpg')

The image I've got:
enter image description here

A: It's because you're saving your image as JPEG, which by default is going to have various options enabled that will alter the colors of your image (since JPEG is a lossy image type), especially Chroma Subsampling, which will alter the 'perceived' colors of your images. Since you're making such a tiny image, this effect will be quite dramatic and results in the colors you're seeing, and by default libjpeg is probably using 4:2:2 subsampling (rather than 4:4:4).
A couple things you can do:

*

*Save as a PNG
If you're dealing with computer graphic-y images (like what you're doing right now) and not photo-level stuff, save your image as a PNG which is lossless.
from PIL import Image

pixels = [(0,255,00),(255,0,0),(0,255,00),(255,0,0),(0,255,00),(255,0,0)]
a=Image.new('RGB',(2,3), "white")
a.putdata(pixels)
a.save('my_picture.png')

And your resultant image will look like this

*Specify JPEG subsampling=0 or subsampling="4:4:4"
You can pick 4:4:4 subsampling with subsampling=0, and get the highest level of subsampling to preserve your intended colors as much as possible.
a.save("my_picture.jpg", quality=95, subsampling=0)

And your resultant JPEG will look probably as you intended:

You can see more options for how you can deal with image formats, and here are the options for what you can specify to subsampling:
subsampling

    If present, sets the subsampling for the encoder.

        keep: Only valid for JPEG files, will retain the original image setting.

        4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0: Specific sampling values

        0: equivalent to 4:4:4

How would Tyrion learning that he is Aerys' son have any effect on his development as a person. We can pretty much bet that Jon is going to be in a position where he has to choose one dishonor or another, and that thinking of what Ned Stark did for him is going to hugely affect Jon's decision. Tywin did not spare Tyrion despite knowing that Aerys was Tyrion's father: if Tywin had even suspected that, then he would have killed Tyrion. Tyrion will not owe anything to any choice that anybody made concerning this truth: there is no Ned Stark analog, and it is much, much too late to introduce one. It lacks is the essence of story: identity crises that create real doubt about whether protagonists should do X or Y. The only "doubts" this would offer are tactical ones: will A or B best lead us to victory. There never are any questions about why the individuals are trying to wage or win the war, and that is what would be needed for it to be a story. GRRM sketched out plenty of character journeys in those novellas that would work very well as outlines for a TV show. Indeed, that he enjoys writing stories in Targaryen history shows that he sees quite a lot of story there. Tyrion even has more hints that he's a potential dragon rider. Jon literally has zero hints or foreshadowing of any dragon riding.
You must carefully prioritize your tasks if you actually want to finish a project in time. If you aim to get 10 things done in a day, you must have 3 to 5 things set on priority to really accomplish something that day. Each hierarchy describes the pattern through which human motivations move. You can use this hierarchy to prioritize your tasks. Whenever you are stuck and can't decide what should be your priority, just visualize it according to Maslow. That will help you list down the high priority tasks. According to a survey, on average, a person wastes 55 days of the year procrastinating and wastes 218 minutes each day doing things that are not important. Stop procrastinating and list down the most important tasks of the day and target them first. Once you eat the frog, you will have nothing to worry about later on. As the big tasks are tackled, they are out your way. There is no pressure and anxiety anymore to prevent you from doing what's left.
If the a smart shopper you will be able in order to the right promo code for every little thing you need to buy, permitting you to save thousands of dollars every year. Thanks to online retailers such as Amazon, now you can shop in leisure while drinking coffee right inside comfort of your family home. The one thing which can cause the experience even more pleasurable is if you find a strategy for saving money throughout the things you can be buying on the web. One of the main ways in which this is accomplished is thru the involving Amazon discount codes. To win, you assign an Martial artist a point value between 0 and 25. Acquire 50 points an event to spread around the MMA fighters and accumulates spend all 50. Just in case MMA fighter wins, you obtain the points you awarded to them. Cavanaugh thus provided future guidance in the legality in the fantasy sports industry with the decision. Celek is another one who has gotten off the slow start as question he would have caught more balls with Kolb under center but Vick turned Alge Crumpler proper Pro Bowler so she's another guy you want to keep. Many of the run of this mill fantasy leagues have very few bench spots because folks to mow their lawn or consider the dog to poop, use is often difficult help to make it up for bad draft picks with late upside bench players. So you need to feel comfortable drafting from different ranks.
With Absentia, Oculus and Hush, he's already shown himself to be one of the more exciting voices in modern horror. Here he takes his first stab at the mainstream, and does a strong job without compromising his artistic integrity. There are also some genuinely horrific moments scattered throughout, mostly in the third act, and the movie relies on cheap jumps much less than its predecessor. Aside from one scene, that blatantly apes Insidious, the imagery is unsettling and reasonably free of cliche. Many of the still shots are held longer than usual too, which really drums in the suspense. The 60s setting is also excellently brought to life, from the detailed sets and great soundtrack down to cigarette burns in the screen corner. In short, Ouija: Origin of Evil really is a technical achievement. But the first two acts still feel a lot like a haunted kid box ticking exercise: Doris nonchalantly speaks to imaginary friends, does weird things with paper and appears from nowhere. It's refreshing to see an ethically dubious protagonist, who's more than happy to mislead punters with trickery. Yet it stretches credibility with how readily she and Paulina carry on with their lives, as if there were no obvious source of danger in their home, undermining the family values message. By the end of act 1 it ought to be clear there's something wrong with Doris.

A dozen inmates made a brazen escape from an Alabama jail on Sunday, sparking a massive manhunt and the recapturing of at least eight of them.
Walker County Jail officials said that 12 inmates escaped at around 9:30 p.m. local time. Authorities have not said how the inmates were able to escape the prison.
According to officials at the Walker County Jail, four inmates are still on the run. A $500 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest of the escapees. Read more at Fox News.

Q: This CRC6 snippet gives wrong results A code snippet to generate CRC6 is not giving the right value.
What could be the problem in the code snippet?
SPI_CRC6 = X6 + X4 + X3 + X + 1

The initial seed value is 0x3F
Input data: 24 bit.
A few tested sample values:(not from code snippet)
24b input: 0xAE0000, CRC6: 0x11
24b input: 0x950055, CRC6: 0x22

/* CRC6 calculation  */
Uint16 crc2(Uint32 datin)
{
    Uint16 byte_idx, bit_idx, crc = (0x3F << 2);//CRC_INITSEED = 0x3f

    /* byte by byte starting from most significant (3-2-1) */
    for (byte_idx = 3; byte_idx >= 1; byte_idx--)
    {
        /* XOR-in new byte from left to right */
        crc ^= ((datin >> (byte_idx << 3)) & 0x000000FF);

        /* bit by bit for each byte */
        for (bit_idx = 0; bit_idx < 8; bit_idx++)
        {
            crc = crc << 1 ^ (crc & 0x80 ? (0x5B << 2) : 0);//CRC Polynom: 0x5B
        }
    }

    return (crc >> 2 & 0x3F); /*restore two bit offset */
}

A: The code shifts the input by 24,16,8 bits when it should be shifting by 16,8,0 bits. One way to fix that (and simplify the code at the same time) is to use the shift count as the loop parameter.
The code is also processing the input 8 bits at a time. This results in mysterious shifts by 2 throughout the code. It's much more natural to process 6 bits at a time. In that case the code needs to shift the input by 18,12,6,0 bits.
So I would write the code like this:
/* CRC6 calculation  */
Uint16 crc2(Uint32 datin)
{
    int input_shift;
    Uint16 bit_idx, crc = 0x3F;  //CRC seed = 0x3F

    /* 6 bits at a time starting from most significant */
    for (input_shift = 18; input_shift >= 0; input_shift -= 6)
    {
        /* XOR-in new data from left to right */
        crc ^= (datin >> input_shift) & 0x3F;

        /* bit by bit for each chunk */
        for (bit_idx = 0; bit_idx < 6; bit_idx++)
        {
            crc <<= 1;
            crc ^= (crc & 0x40) ? 0x5B : 0; //CRC polynomial: 0x5B
        }
    }

    return crc & 0x3F; //return the 6-bit CRC
}

A: user3386109's answer shows a corrected version of your code, but in this case, there's no need to split up datain into 6 bit fields.
typedef unsigned short uint16_t;
typedef unsigned int   uint32_t;

uint16_t crc1(uint32_t datin)
{
int i;
uint32_t crc = datin ^ (0x3f << 18);
    for (i = 0; i < 24; i++)
        crc = (crc << 1) ^ ((crc & 0x800000) ? (0x5B << 18) : 0);
    return crc >> 18;
}

The following example assumes two's complement math, using (-0) = 0x00000000 or (-1) = 0xffffffff as a mask to avoid using conditional code (tenary ? : ). Note that an optimizing compiler may use math to avoid conditional code for the above example as well (Visual Studio does this).
typedef unsigned short uint16_t;
typedef unsigned int   uint32_t;

uint16_t crc1(uint32_t datin)
{
int i;
uint32_t crc = datin ^ (0x3f << 18);
    for (i = 0; i < 24; i++)
        crc = (crc << 1) ^ ((-(crc >> 23)) & (0x5B << 18));
    return crc >> 18;
}

The masking trick is often used by compilers, the general sequence is:
        ...                     ;eax is zero or non-zero
        neg     eax             ;sets borrow bit if eax != 0
        sbb     eax,eax         ;eax = 0x00000000 or 0xffffffff
        and     eax,...         ;use eax as mask

Fashion | A New Direction Within My Personal Style
And the fashion post are BACK! Finally! I've not shot an outfit for around 4 months! I've honestly missed it so much and posting about my new favourite pieces in my wardrobe...But recently, since I've worked in an office, my personal style has took a turn for the more professional and classy style which has always been one of my favourite ways of dressing. I wanted to shoot in a location that was somewhere that was just me all over but also within the outfit. As I'm a country girl at heart, the canal was the perfect place to shoot, even though this outfit isn't really something you'd wear down the canal. But I wanted to showcase this outfit in a way that expresses a part of me within in personality as well as style.
Moving onto the actually outfit itself...This coat is the main coat I've lived in throughout Winter to be honest! It's such a statement coat that keeps me warm from my neck to my shins. It was such a good piece to invest in from Primark that's for sure! I wear this to work, days out, shopping, literally everywhere as it just a piece that goes so well with literally every outfit!
The same goes for my gorgeous Valentino rockstud dupe handbag. It's my most used and warn bag to the point where I would be tempted to buy the real deal I use it that much. I'm dying to purchase a real designer handbag, but other things take priority of course, one day though!
Let's talk about the main attraction in this outfit which is of course this gorgeous set from Popjulia that I have literally worn to death! I've warn this in the office, shopping, meals out etc. It's so classy and trendy. The sleeves of the jumper are absolutely stunning with the lace detail, I've worn this jumper with so many other outfits too, I've been loving versatile pieces over the last few months too, especially casual but classy outfits. The pinafore dress itself is so lovely and fitted, it can be quite hard to get into due to my shoulders, but there is a side zip (sometimes gets stuck) but I can understand why it's designed like it is so that it hugs your figure in all the right places and shows off your curves. I also need to mention the additional accessory this dress has, the little golden circle style looking pin adds that little extra class and colour to the dress itself.
*Dress - PopJulia | Jumper - PopJulia | Bag - Moda Bags | Coat - Primark | Watch - ASOS | Necklace - Warren James | *Ring - Juelia Jewelry | Boots - Truffle
Hope you enjoyed my first fashion post of the year and expect more to come that's for sure! I'm so glad the fashion posts and my blog in general is coming back together again, it makes me feel a sense of accomplishment and also makes me feel like I'm slowly getting back to my organised self again - guess who's back baby!
Have a good day where ever you are!

Oh my gosh I love that coat, and I did a double-take when I read that it was from Primark. That's so amazing!

I literally live in it! Such a good buy from Primark!

Archimedes ist ein großer Einschlagkrater auf dem Erdmond am östlichen Ufer des Mare Imbrium. Südlich des Kraters erhebt sich die Bergregion der Montes Archimedes. Am südöstlichen Rand des Kraters erstreckt sich die Ebene des Palus Putredinis, der von einem nach dem Krater benannten Rillensystem, den Rimae Archimedes mit einer Länge von mehr als 150 Kilometern durchzogen wird. Nord-nordöstlich ragen die Montes Spitzbergen auf, eine Gipfelkette im Mare Imbrium.
Östlich von Archimedes liegt der Krater Autolycus. Zwischen diesen beiden Kratern befindet sich  die Absturzstelle der sowjetischen Mondsonde Lunik 2, die als erstes robotisches Raumfahrzeug am 13. September 1959 die Mondoberfläche erreichte.
Im Nordwesten fällt der Krater Aristillus ins Auge. Die Lavaebene zwischen Archimedes, Aristillus und Autolycus bildet die Luna-Bucht des Mare Imbrium. Ein bei Archimedes beginnender Meeresrücken überquert dieses Mondmeer in nord-nordwestlicher Richtung.

Archimedes ist der größte Krater im Mare Imbrium. Der Kraterrand zeigt einen mit Auswurfmaterial bedeckten Außenwall und den oberen Teil einer abgestuften Innenwand, jedoch fehlt das Strahlensystem jüngerer Krater. Ein dreieckiges Vorgebirge ragt 30 Kilometer nach Südosten vor.

Im Kraterinneren fehlt eine zentrale Erhebung, und es ist von Maria überflutet. Auffallende Erhebungen fehlen gänzlich, es gibt nur ein paar winzige Einschläge nahe dem Rand. Über den Kraterboden verstreut zeigen sich einzelne Streifen von hellem Strahlenmaterial, die höchstwahrscheinlich bei der Entstehung von Autolycus dort abgelagert wurden.

Folgende Satellitenkrater von Archimedes haben zwischenzeitlich durch die Internationale Astronomische Union (IAU) einen eigenen Namen zugewiesen bekommen:

 Archimedes A – siehe Krater Bancroft.

Description: Almon Ruggles (1770 - 1840) came from his Connecticut home in 1805 to survey the "fire sufferers' land." He was the original surveyor of what is now Ohio's Erie and Huron Counties. As partial payment for his work, Ruggles was able to purchase one full section - 640 acres, or one square mile - anywhere on the shore of Lake Erie.

Back strain, particularly of the lower back, is common in sporting activities that use repetitive impact, a constant twisting motion, or weight loading at the end of a range of motion. Injuries can affect athletes who participate in running, golfing and weightlifting, but are not necessarily limited to these types of sporting activities. Most athletes will have a minor back problem at one time or another.
The therapists and physicians located on Dolson Avenue in Middletown, NY have treated hundreds of patients who suffer lower back pain as a result of a sports injury. With a comprehensive program that may include physical therapy, chiropractic and acupuncture, we have helped our patients feel better and return to a healthy and active lifestyle.

Far From Canterbury
Book, Music and Lyrics by Danny K. Bernstein

VENUE #9: Theatre 80, 80 St. Marks Place

BOTTOM LINE: This medieval musical hits all the high notes of a Broadway smash with the historical allure of Chaucer.
John of Bath (Luke Hoback) is a young knight ready to embark on his fairytale life. He's handsome and the greatest songwriter in all the kingdom. He has all the makings of a great protagonist, except for one small detail. He can't speak to women. This leads to trouble when John of Bath is brought before the Queen in order to atone for his crimes—taking a princess as his own and leaving her in the woods to die—and cannot find the courage to defend himself. After his dear friends intercede, the Queen offers a challenge. John has a year to find out what it is that women most truly desire. With the help of Marcus (T. J. Wagner), an attractive ladies' man who also happens to charge for his services, and Agnes (Hannah Richter), a strong-willed and free-spirited woman running from an arranged marriage, John sets out to scour the kingdom and beyond for the answer to the Queen's riddle.
Far From Canterbury is a musical retelling of Chaucer's The Wife of Bath's Tale, with a less skeevy protagonist and a more colorful cast of side characters. Our heroic trio encounters the Knights of the Round Table, Canterbury's hottest musical group, on their quest, and a rap battle ensues. Ok, so maybe it isn't quite Chaucer. But what Danny K. Bernstein has done is taken Chaucer's most popular Canterbury Tale and turned it into a musical journey of self-discovery. John, guided gently by the mysterious Dolores (Katie Drinkard), is learning not only how to find his voice but to forgive himself as well.
Even if sometimes it feels a little formulaic with a duet between strong independent women, a secret seduction number, and an inspirational refrain, the music is strongly written and would fit right in next to the biggest Broadway hits. The cast gives a remarkably powerful performance; each number somehow managing to outshine the previous one. There is a lot of heart in Far From Canterbury and it shows from the seamless choreography to the well-constructed musical score. Bernstein's musical comedy will undoubtedly go far after Fringe.
(Far From Canterbury plays at VENUE #9: Theatre 80, 80 St. Marks Place, through August 27, 2015. Performances are Fri 8/15 at 9; Wed 8/19 at 2:15; Fri 8/21 at 9:15; Wed 8/26 at 3:30; and Thu 8/27 at 9:45. There is no late seating at FringeNYC. Tickets are $18 and are available at fringenyc.org.

This week's thought - Aim for success!
"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism."


It's time for Round Three, No Waste Wide Windmills!
This round uses quick pieced strip sets to make a wide sail windmill block border.
If you are using the fabric provided with the last block, then you can choose any of the fabrics for your strip sets.
There are twenty eight blocks in the border, and each strip set makes two blocks.
I chose to use three strips in each of four fabrics, and two strips of the fifth fabric. As long as you work in even numbers, you can choose a different combination if you wish. Please take care to cut these economically and sensibly to ensure enough fabric will be left for Four. In particular, please leave at least a 7in length of any full width lengths of backing fabric for the biggest sashing strips.
Otherwise choose new fabrics and a background fabric for this round.
The method given is very quick and easy, but the windmills are not quite as elegant to tile as a traditional windmill block. You have enough fabric to make fourteen positive and fourteen negative traditional windmill blocks if you prefer. You will need a total of twenty eight 3 1/2in unfinished size blocks, but you will have to find your own instructions! The instructions given below are the no waste easy method for wide windmill pairs.
This method uses a strip set to make all the units for a postive and negative windmill pair. This is why you need fourteen strips of background and coloured fabric.
Cut fourteen strips of background fabric, 12in x 1 3/4in, and fourteen 12in x 1 3/4in strips of other fabrics. I cut three strips of the unused fat quarter, three in three previously used fat quarters, and two strips of the most used fat quarter.
Take a background strip and a coloured strip and join as shown.
Cross cut the strip into four 3in wide units.
Make sure all the units are the same way up! This is important, as your windmill sails will not work otherwise!
Using the 45 degree line on your ruler, crosscut each square diagonally from corner to corner. Keep checking that the square is the correct way up every time! You will end up with two sets of four matching triangles.
Put one set of triangles to one side for a minute. Take the other set and place the triangles RS togther in right angled pairs ready for piecing.
Organise the second set of triangles in the same way and chain piece each pair. You will have a string of four triangle pairs.
Press the pairs open, and join each half windmill unit to form two windmill blocks.
Square up your blocks to 3 1/2in if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining thirteen background coloured fabric strips. You will end up with twenty eight windmill blocks.
Arrange your blocks as you prefer around the completed sashed Round Two unit.
Assemble the six left hand side blocks into a short border, and attach to the lhs of the Round Two unit.
Repeat with the six rhs blocks, and attach to the Round Two unit.
Assemble the eight blocks in the top and bottom borders and attach to the Round Two unit.
If your square is not 24 1/2in, you will need to adjust the sashing, The unfinished square after sashing should be 26 1/2in.
If your square is ok, cut two strips of background fabric 24 1/2in x 1 1/2in and attach to the sides of the Wide Windmill border.
Cut two 26 1/2in x 1 1/2in of background fabric for the top and bottom sashings, and attach to the quilt top.
You have now finished Round Three!
If your Round Two unit came with extra fabric, please send the remaining fabric with your Round Three unit to the next quilter. If not the Round Four quilter will add the fabric of their choosing. Take a photo of your block for the album, and then parcel up the block and extra fabric if required. Then send your parcel to the next person in your Round Robin group, and wait for the next set of instructions.


When it comes to weddings, it is all about the brides. Try to remember the wedding where people made comments on the groom's enchanting look. It hardly happens. All eyes are always on the bride. Period. Although beauty standards and makeup trends change over time, going from subtle to almost Halloween style, bridal makeup is somewhat exceptional, because it is a delicate art of making a princess out of every woman on her most special day. Bridal makeup style is more sensual, refined and sophisticated, yet it accentuates feminine beauty in a sublime manner. Here are some makeup trends that you will be seeing on wedding photos this year.
Many of the brides and bridesmaids opt for this adorable, though not easily achieved style of natural beauty. Tasteful makeup that brings out the natural beauty of the bride's face, without excessive layers or dramatic highlighting. It is all about warm, natural colors, skillfully combined and deepened enough to create the impression of minimal makeup intervention. Little to no eyeliner, some mascara, neutral eye-shadows and subtle peachy blush blended in the cheekbone are the main features of this look. As for the lips, opt for some light pink tones.
Yes, glossy lips are back. Forget about the hideous 90's and the bad gloss reputation, because this is nothing like that. If done properly, glossy lips can look marvelous adding a tasteful radiance to the natural or any other look. However, to achieve and maintain spotless and elegant glossy lips, scrub lips to remove any dead skin and apply lipstick, followed by lip gloss in the same shade. Make sure to avoid metallic or sparkle gloss, since it looks unnatural and tacky.
Old Hollywood movie stars never cease to amaze us with their style and elegance. Gently waved hair, unpretentious eye makeup, and red lips simply emanate glamour, so it is no wonder that it comes as an inspiration to many brides. Light skin tan, spotless skin face, eyeliner, mascara as well as well-groomed eyebrows are an inevitable part of this look. However, not everyone can pull off the red lipstick and look like a star. If you don't use red lipstick, do not put it on your wedding day, unless you are completely sure that you look perfect. Opt for darker shades of red or berry lip colors.
Eyes are most expressive part of the face, so accentuating eyes is the most important part of bride's makeup. If done right, simple eye makeup can do wonders, but only if it is in harmony with beautiful eyebrows and voluminous eyelashes. Determine what is the best shape of the eyebrows and apply eye-shadows in neutral colors, slightly darkened to create discreet smokey eye effect. Use high-quality waterproof mascara to add volume and length to the eyelashes. Don't hesitate to use famous Russian volume lashes to make the eyes bigger and deeper. Falsies are a fantastic detail that brings out the timeless charm, while it looks completely natural.
We glow when we are happy or in love. However, a wedding day brings a lot of pressure, so the glowing part comes with the little help of makeup. Since the glowy look became a frequent request for makeup artists, many of them started to use a pearly highlighter. Highlighting the inner corner of the eyes, cheekbones and the area below the eyebrows will create a fine luminous look. The perfect glow without sparkling or glitter. Use warm pearl pigments and apply it to high points of the face.
Brides, silly as they are, tend to forget that wedding day is not only about looking perfect, but it is about feeling perfect. It is about celebrating love and starting a new life chapter with someone who knows exactly how ravishing they are, without the smokey eyes or makeup glow. No makeup artist can paint a happy smile on a face or that special glow in the eyes that people share when they are truly in love. Makeup trends will come and go, but the real essence that makes the bride beautiful will remain the same: radiating happiness and love.


Because of my personal experience, my interest in action research, and my desire to serve teachers in my role as an instructional coach, I decided to use this opportunity to offer a voluntary after-school workshop for teachers who were interested in mindfulness.
I will try to simplify this story. I began teaching mindfulness and I knew, pretty much immediately, that this was where my work would be moving forward. Life affirmed this for me by providing a willing group of participants who went on a two-month mindfulness journey with me and experienced positive changes along the way.
That summer, the school year had ended, and I was in a two-week workshopping session with a group of wonderful and diverse women who were also writing book chapters. The writing flowed for me with an ease rarely experienced in my life, and in the end of the process, I was proud of what I had accomplished.
Imagine my surprise when months later, I received a call from my editor telling me the chapter would be cut.
Why? Well, one reason was because I had honestly told my own story. I had admitted that I had a struggling marriage, that someone I loved was dying, that I has used alcohol and nicotine to numb the pain, that I had eventually had to seek treatment for depression. These things "put me at risk," in the words of the supervising editor for my book, a well respected figure in the field of education. My own editor fought for me, but in the end, this was the final decision. I would not be in the book.
First of all, this is in no way an indictment of the district in which I was (and am) working. This is a universal issue in education. Furthermore, teachers are not the only ones who feel this way, I have learned since. I have had this same conversation with administrators, doctors, lawyers and psychotherapist who all feel similarly. "Check your humanity at the door; you are here to help people." What damage this message does. It's the reason I do the work that I do.
I was never sorry that I began this journey of discovering who I really was and opening that person up to share herself with the world in real and vulnerable ways, but it is a risk, and it comes with a cost. I am willing to pay it, over and over and over again. And I will. Because that is life. It never stops unfolding, and the line between "me" and "you" keeps moving in an elusive and enrapturing way throughout it all.
Human connection. That is what risk and vulnerability is always about.
Why am I even doing this.
People will look at me.
They will pull away from me.
I will not be worthy of love.
These are the things we tell ourselves before we take a risk, whatever it is. It could be talking to a stranger at a party or it could be applying for a TEDTalk. Whatever it is, these words, and the body sensations that accompany them, the fast heart beat, the rapid breath, the tingling in the stomach, are all just a trigger to know we are reaching the edge of growth.
I asked this question in the workshop, and there were smiles and tears as we shared the things that pushed us toward our edges.
It was intense, and real, and healing, and it doesn't happen enough, in my opinion.
I am so lucky to have the opportunity to work with this group of people in a district (the same district in which I worked as a coach and classroom educator) that has recognized the power and the importance of growing students and growing teachers. It is no overstatement to say that this is the work of my life, and I am filled with gratitude for every person who allows our lives to touch in the process.
