DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL AND/OR BLANK TREATMENT PREPARATION
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
Blank test systems were prepared and incubated with biotic and abiotic test systsems and analyzed at each time-point (signal well below the 3% dilution of initial test concentration).
Carryover was < 1.0% and since test systems were analyzed alternating biotic and abiotic test systems this constitutes the detection limit in this test.
STATISTICAL METHODS: Triplicate ratios of biotic/abiotic test system peak areas were calculated for each time point and used in Graph-pad Prism 8.4.3 to fit the first order degradation model with lag phase: Y=IF(x0, Y0=1, K>0

Primary biodegradation in surface water from a Danish stream was determined by compound specified analysis and was performed following the modified OECD Guideline 309 (Aerobic Mineralisation in Surface Water - Simulation Biodegradation Test). The DT50 of the test chemical was evaluated to be 26 days at 12°C. Primary percentage degradation of the test chemical was determined to be 89% at 30 days. Hence, test chemical was considered to be not persistent in surface water.
Primary biodegradation in surface water from a Danish stream was determined by compound specified analysis. The study was performed following the modified OECD Guideline 309 (Aerobic Mineralisation in Surface Water - Simulation Biodegradation Test) under aerobic conditions. Natural water (stream of good ecological quality and without known point sources close to sampling point) sampled from Gudenåen (DK) 16th of June 2020. WGS84: 56°6'23.2"N 9°43'17.4"E at a dept of 5 -20 cm below surface was used as a surface water. The water was quite clear with a slight light brown hint. Total suspended solids was 2.0 mg/L, total dissolved solids was 210 mg/L. No pre-treatment was done of the natural water. Water kept at 20 ± 1.5°C during transport to lab (4 hours), then stored at 12°C until test setup within 30 hours of sampling. The temperature and pH at the time of collection of the sample was 20.0°C and 6.5 pH. Biomass i.e., plate count at 24 and 72 hr was 36 CFU/ml and 1281 CFU/ml, respectively. Water was not filtered. Dissolved non-volatile organic carbon (NVOC) was measured instead of DOC/TOC and was 4.4 mg/L. Study was performed using 20 mL amber headspace closed vials. A large no. of biotic test systems (15 -18 replicates) consisting of 14.5 ml surface water and 0.5 ml stock solution was prepared test vials. Stock solution was prepared in water by equilibrium partioning from a pre-loaded silicone rod (passive dosing). This method for preparing stock solutions avoids the need for solvents for spiking. A similar number of abiotic control test systems were prepared using 14.5 ml MilliQ water and 0.5 ml stock solution. Blanks were prepared with 15 ml MilliQ water. Aerobic conditions created by using aerobic natural water (initial oxygen content 9.0 mg/L at 20 °C) and incubating using a headspace of 5 mL with a low test substance concentration of 0.3 mg/l. Test was conducted at a temperature of 12°C and pH of 6.5 under continuous darkness with conductivity of 334 µS/cm while rolling. pH of the test medium (natural water) was not adjusted. No aeration was provided during the study. Suspended solid concentrations uded in the study was 2.0 mg/l. At 5 -6 time-points, 3 biotic and 3 abiotic test systems were sacrificed for analysis (day2, 6, 14, 21, 27 and 30). Tests systems were put directly on the autosampler of the GCMS without storage. Blank test systems were prepared and incubated with biotic and abiotic test systems and analyzed at each time-point (signal well below the 3% dilution of initial test concentration). Analysis was carried out using direct immersion solid phase microextraction coupled to GC-MS. Carryover was < 1.0% and since test systems were analyzed alternating biotic and abiotic test systems this constitutes the detection limit in this test. Biodegradation was then evaluated by the ratio between peak areas in the biotic and abiotic test systems. Triplicate ratios of biotic/abiotic test system peak areas were calculated for each time point and used in Graph-pad Prism 8.4.3 to fit the first order degradation model with lag phase. The DT50 of the test chemical was evaluated to be 26 days at 12°C. Primary percentage degradation of the test chemical was determined to be 89% at 30 days. Thus, on the basis of results, test chemical was considered to be not persistent in surface water.

Level III Fugacity model
EPI Suite contains a Level III fugacity model. In general, fugacity models predict the partitioning of an organic compound in an evaluative environment. A Level III model assumes steady-state but not equilibrium conditions. The Level III model in EPI Suite predicts partitioning between air, soil, sediment and water using a combination of default parameters and various input parameters that may be user defined or estimated by other programs within EPI Suite.
The model environment consists of 4 main compartments: air, water sediment and soil. There are also sub-compartments such as an aerosol phase, suspended solids, and biota phase, within specific main compartments. A fixed temperature of 25ᵒC is assumed. Mass transport between the compartments via volatilization, diffusion, deposition and runoff are modeled. level III models is a steady state, non-equilibrium model. Steady state conditions mean that the change in concentration of a chemical in each compartment (i) with respect to time eventually approaches zero. The model does not assume that a common equilibrium (fugacity) exists between the phases, so if a chemical is emitted into one compartment it can partition to the other compartments. Loss of chemical occurs through two processes: reaction and advection. Reaction is the biotic or abiotic degradation of the chemical that is calculated using the user specified or model calculated half-lives of the chemical in each of the 4 main compartments. Advection processes are considered for the air, water and sediment compartments. Advection is the removal of chemical from a compartment through losses other than degradation (reaction). The rate of advection in a given compartment is determined by a flow rate (m3/hour), calculated by dividing the volume of the compartment by an advection time.

Estimated half life of test chemical in sediment estimated to be 135 days (3240 h).
Estimation Programs Interface (2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in sediment for the test chemical. The half-life period of test chemical in sediment is estimated to be 135 days (3240 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is less than 1% (i.e, reported as 0.673%), indicates that test chemical is not persistent in sediment.

Peggy Layne Virginia Tech
Peggy Layne, P.E., joined Virginia Tech in 2003 as director of the AdvanceVT program, a National Science Foundation sponsored program to increase the number and success of women faculty in science and engineering. Prior to accepting her current position, Ms. Layne worked as a diversity consultant for the American Association of Engineering Societies and as director of the program on diversity in the engineering workforce at the National Academy of Engineering. She also spent a year as an AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow in the office of Senator Bob Graham, where she was responsible for water, wastewater, and solid and hazardous waste policy issues.
Ms. Layne has degrees in environmental and water resources engineering from Vanderbilt University and the University of North Carolina School of Public Health. She spent 17 years as a consulting engineer with several firms, and was formerly a principal at Harding Lawson Associates in Tallahassee, FL, where she managed the office and directed hazardous waste site investigation and cleanup projects. Ms. Layne is an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a registered professional engineer. She served as president of the Society of Women Engineers in 1996-97 and is FY11 Chair of SWE's Government Relations and Public Policy Committee.
Careers of female deans of engineering Who does engineering is important, since engineers are key contributors to the design of technologies that shape our world. While women have made significant gains in their proportion of degrees earned and their representation in the professoriate in the past 30 years, they remain significantly underrepresented in engineering (Burrelli 2008). The advancement of women into leadership roles in engineering education has the potential to make engineering as a career more attractive to young women and to encourage women currently pursuing academic careers in engineering to aspire to leadership positions themselves. Understanding the experiences of women who have reached a high level of accomplishment in academic engineering careers will inform institutional change strategies aimed at increasing women in STEM. In 2009, women earned just 17.8% of the 74,387 bachelor's degrees awarded in engineering in the United States, 23% of master's degrees, and 21.3% of doctoral degrees. Women currently comprise 12.7% of engineering faculty, and 7.7% of full professors. (ASEE 2010) Of the almost 400 institutions in the United States with engineering programs accredited by ABET, 38 had women in the role of dean of engineering or director of the engineering program in the spring of 2010. Thirty‐one additional women have served as dean at some point in the past 20 years. (ASEE, personal communication) Deans are key academic leaders, responsible for faculty recruitment, hiring, and development, as well as setting priorities and allocating resources for the college. They thus play an important role in defining the work environment and establishing the climate for faculty as well as students. A deanship is also a common stepping‐stone to higher academic leadership roles. (Wolverton et al. 2001; Montez et al. 2002; Del Favero 2005) It is thus important to understand the factors that facilitate and inhibit female faculty members' aspirations for and ability to succeed in the decanal role. The pipeline metaphor often used to describe the science and engineering workforce reinforces the myth of linearity in education and career progression. In reality, individuals follow many routes to and through education and career. For women, family formation can present challenges to advancement in academic careers, leading to "pipeline leaks", particularly for mothers (e. g., Mason et al. 2006; Ward and Wolf‐Wendel 2004; Armenti 2004). Women engineering academics employ a variety of strategies to accommodate and resist the combined demands of motherhood and a workplace designed for men. Through semi‐structured interviews with current and former female engineering deans, this qualitative study explores factors that influence academic career progression, both contributing to and detracting from female faculty members' ability to successfully combine career and family.

This will be our first 'winter' newsletter of 2019. It doesn't quite feel like winter. The sun is shining and looking outside of the window soon has you daydreaming about a trip to the beach or a quick nine holes of golf. Even so, the water in the taps is distinctly cooler and the evenings carry a slight chill.
One great thing about winter is our winter specials! The 'Early Bird' special is back on, and for members, this means being able to place for only R 210, as long as you are in one of the first three morning tee times, weekends excluded. Visitors can play for only R 270! We also have a winter fourball special – posters below. Wishing you a happy read and a successful week ahead.
At the top of our highlights over the last two weeks was the Ladies Club Championship.
Isabella van Rooyen defended her title, winning the championship comfortably with 157 points. It was awesome to see Isabella's Dad, Jan, and her younger brother, Jan Stals, cheering her on. One of the most wonderful things to witness is a family who lifts each other up and bands together in support. You can't help but be happy for her win, especially considering how quickly Isabella has risen in the golfing ranks! Well done, Isabella. Your determination and discipline are paying off!
Behind Isabella were Gill Briggs and Wendy Warrington. Both finished with a final score of 166, with Wendy counted out. Winning in the silver division was Joan Mauchline and at the top of Bronze was Pat Quill. There were many other winners on the day, and hopefully, everyone enjoyed the event as much as we enjoyed hosting it! Thank you to the Ladies Committee, to Robin and Lilian Brand, and to Chris Goldsbury. Without your hard work, these events would just not be the same!
Of course, well done and thank you to all of the ladies that participated! If you would like to see more of these fantastic photos, please head over to our Facebook page.
We are really looking forward to the Men's Club Champs, which is set to start this weekend. This is going to be a tough challenge, with 72 holes of golf required this year. We are excited to see if second-time Champion, Gareth Wobbe, is going to be kicked off of his throne or whether his nerves of steel with pay off again. Good luck to everyone playing!
Our Mid-Am team was back in action this weekend against a strong Belville side. Both teams required a win to stand a chance of securing a semi-final spot. With this in mind the teams took to the fairways with vigour and focus. Unfortunately, Belville proved too strong an opponent, with the final results being 6 ½ – 1 ½ in their favour.
To grasp just how well some of the players plaid, Leriche Ehlers of Belville carded a 29 on his back 9 holes at Clovelly! There was some phenomenal golf played and, although we lost, it was great to watch Belville in action.
Well done to all our Mid-Am players for a great season, winning 4 and losing 2. There are still a few outstanding matches for other teams due to be settled this weekend, however, it appears as though we will narrowly miss out on a semi-final spot, finishing 3rd in our category.
Our Masters side recorded a win-draw when playing against Parow last weekend, while our close competitor, Atlantic Beach, lost to Rondebosch. This gave us enough points to secure 2nd place in our group and secure a semi-final spot!
We are waiting to see who we will be drawn against once all of the clubs have completed their outstanding matches. The semi-final is scheduled for the 27th April and we wish all the Masters players the best of luck! Well done for such an outstanding season!

Q: How to cancel withContext in kotlin I have one function inside that I am trigger an event at particular time.
fun startTimeWarning() {
     viewModelScope.launch {
        withContext(Dispatchers.Default) {
            if (!isActive) {
                delay(2000)
                // trigger event
            }
        }
     }
}

Now I want to trigger new event in cancelTimeWarning and make sure startTimeWarning is not active. Is it possible to cancel in withContext?
fun cancelTimeWarning() {
     viewModelScope.launch {
           // new event trigger
     }
}

I checked in this answer but I don't think this will help me. Many thanks
UDPATE
After @Tenfour04 suggestion I am adding my JOB code below
class PairViewModel : BaseViewModel() {

    internal var timeJob = Job()
        get() {
            if (field.isCancelled) field = Job()
            return field
        }

    fun handleTimeWarning(index: Int) {
        if (index == -1) {
            startTime()
        } else {
            cancelTime()
        }
    }

    internal fun startTime() {
        viewModelScope.launch(timeJob) {
            delay(2000)
            UIEvent(UIevent.XYZ)
        }
    }

    internal fun cancelTime() {
        if (timeJob.isActive) {
            timeJob.cancel()
        }
        UIEvent(UIevent.ABC)
    }
}

A: It's not that you want to use Job or not. The viewModelScope.launch will return a Coroutine Job, so that you can use this reference to cancel it manually in your case.
private var timeWarningJob: Job? = null
...
fun startTimeWarning() {
     timeWarningJob = viewModelScope.launch {
        withContext(Dispatchers.Default) {
            if (!isActive) {
                delay(2000)
                // trigger event
            }
        }
     }
}

fun cancelTimeWarning() {
    timeWarningJob?.cancel() // Cancel your last job
    viewModelScope.launch {
          // new event trigger
    }
}

A: The answer with job canceling is correct. My answer is just an option to solve it by the other way.
You can create and use a new coroutine scope based on viewModelScope to handle it.
// SupervisorJob allows to cancel children without cancel the whole scope
private val startScope = CoroutineScope(lifecycleScope.coroutineContext + SupervisorJob())

fun startTimeWarning() {
    startScope.launch {
        withContext(Dispatchers.Default) {
            // You don't have to check isActive in async code, the delay will be canceled immediately at a job cancelation
            delay(2000)
            // trigger event
        }
    }
}

fun cancelTimeWarning() {
    // The following line will cancel ALL children coroutines of startScope
    // but will not cancel the start scope and you can reuse it to launch a new coroutine
    startScope.coroutineContext.cancelChildren()
    viewModelScope.launch {
       // new event trigger
    }
}

UPDATE:
The next step: you can set Dispatchers.Default to the start scope:
private val startScope = CoroutineScope(lifecycleScope.coroutineContext + Dispatchers.Default + SupervisorJob())

Now you can remove withContext at startTimeWarning:
fun startTimeWarning() {
    startScope.launch {
        delay(2000)
        // trigger event
    }
}

Ólafur Arnalds has been refining the Stratus Pianos for his latest album re:member and we managed to hook with him, on stage, to find out more about the tech behind the live setup.
We find out how it all works, the constant tuning schedule required when touring with three acoustic pianos and how much fun it really is to play generative pianos with their very own synced-up light show.
The UK-part of the tour, which has consisted of eight dates, starting out with a sold-out Albert Hall show, has been a roaring success. And it doesn't stop there, with Arnalds and his five accompanying musicians taking on a relentless schedule of worldwide tour dates that stretch far into 2019.
The latest album, re:member is out now and available on the Ólafur Arnalds website.

Q: A System to serve geolocation related data I've been working on an app which basically will send current location to a web server and the web server will do stuff based on that geolocation.
The main task of the webserver is to find sender's friends, who're around the area the sender is in (around the current geolocation of the sender).
I have been thinking about a GIS which solves this problem, but many times it seems pretty vague.
Any pointers to any already existing Open Source implementations of such GIS or to a way to create one from scratch using LAMP would be very helpful.
Sorry if this isn't a right place for this kind of question.

A: Have a look at Postgis, a postgres project.
Start reading here:

Hope that helps.


Other Names - Pygeum africanum is also known by the common names African Plum Tree, African Pygeum, African Prune, Ciruelo Africano, Amande Amère, and Prunier d'Afrique and lots of other common names.
Study - In one study of 47 men… 42 were healed of their prostate disease by taking 100 mg daily… with no symptoms at all at the end of the study.
Study - Studies in 2011 and 2014 found that Pygeum worked well for stimulating bladder healing… but it does not seem to heal bladder infections.
Great for Stomachaches - Pygeum also helps with the average stomachache and GI disturbance… soothing and relaxing the GI tract.

What's More Important: The Goal or the Pass that Set it Up?
By Steve Gordon
A very common mistake when selecting funds for a defined contribution menu is overemphasizing manager performance without properly considering the risk controls, adherence to style parameters and overall selection process. If a money manager has top decile returns over a given period, does it really matter how they got there? After all, they generated superior returns so why worry about the means to an end? Digging deeper than returns to understand process requires additional effort and professional support, and who has time for that? As anyone who knows me could attest, I often look to sports – specifically soccer – for answers.
The majority of my family, friends and coworkers would not recognize the names of professional midfielders, such as Adam Lallana, Kevin De Bruyne or local team favorite, Antonio Nocerino. These are the players that set up goals and control the game. However, Lionel Messi and celebrated legend Pelé have become household names. Why? They are the goal scorers! The glory hounds, the socialites and the subjects of highlight reels. But was their job of putting the ball into the back of the net more important than the play that put them in the position to do so?
Enter: Fernando Torres. After joining Liverpool FC in 2007, he became the fastest player in club history to score 50 league goals. After much success and scoring 65 goals over 102 games, Torres left the club in January 2011 at the young age of 27 to join rival Chelsea for a British record transfer fee of £50 million. Despite the record fee paid by Chelsea, his goal scoring prowess declined quickly to almost half of his previous production. Many respected pundits believed the difference in team playing style between Liverpool and Chelsea hampered Torres badly.
That is, to duplicate his success, it turns out that how the goals were scored mattered! While phenomenal players can score goals on sheer skill or determination, it is almost impossible to replicate this success without a dependable system. Ideally, a goal is the final step resulting from an efficient team "build up" play, a precise pass that put the striker into the position to score, and yes–a finishing shot past the keeper. The ideal goal is derived from a blueprint, executed by a fully synchronized team. While less glamorized, this type of goal is more consistent, probable and reliable than a fleeting moment of personal brilliance or perhaps just being at the right place at the right time.
This distinction directly applies to selecting funds for your defined contribution plan. For example, sponsors too often select the fund manager they recognize (the goal-scoring superstar!) or the name that appears at the top of the performance list for the quarter. While it may indeed represent a solid fund, one must dig deeper or risk a very common outcome: in the end, the risks that the manager took to get top decile returns are the very risks that increase the chances of bottom decile performance under different market circumstances. Specifically, you may have chosen an outlier without the proper analyst team or supporting structure to replicate results.
Like the best sports programs in the world, participants are looking for consistency from the various "players" in their portfolio. Remember, your participants don't think about investments every day and certainly aren't experts. More likely, they consumed the participant education provided during enrollment and selected their fund allocation based primarily on that education. They selected, for example, a large cap growth fund to complement the large cap value fund in their portfolio and did so based on the definitions and instructions you provided. This information may have been delivered online, via print or through the professionals that support your plan, but it is critical that each fund plays the role you defined for participants. This determines if the participant will receive the diversification, consistency and, hopefully, success they need to reach their personal goals.
When it comes to selecting funds for your defined contribution plan, beware selecting the hot manager of the year without proper due diligence and an understanding of their process and risk controls. Successful portfolios, like successful sports franchises, require consistency of style and play. The extra due diligence can make all of the difference between selecting the next Messi or the next Fernando Torres.

For the sake of accuracy, I would like to clear up a few items that appeared in the article (''Inviting Hunters Home to Cull the Deer Herd,'' Nov. 8).
First, although New Canaan may be the first town to officially encourage its residents to use hunting as a tool to combat their deer problem, my organization has been contacted by residents and landowners in other towns as well for the same reason -- to cull, not eliminate, the deer herd.
Second, I was at the public hearing on Oct. 1 that was mentioned in the article. Although many people did speak out against the proposal to use bowhunters trained in urban and residential hunting, I found that many people at the hearing -- about half -- seemed to be in favor of the proposal. Interestingly, the majority of people who spoke in favor of the program were New Canaan residents, while many who spoke against the program were not New Canaan residents.
Third, I was present that night to explain this certification program that gives licensed bowhunters advanced training to hunt safely in urban and residential neighborhoods. Space does not permit me to go into the depth and thoroughness of this training program which was not mentioned in the article. However, comments made in the article by Arnold Baer of the Humane Society regarding bowhunting have no basis in fact. Bowhunting is not a dangerous activity to the public and to clarify a point that was mentioned in the article, all bowhunters, not most, which my organization certified to hunt in residential areas will be hunting from a treestand only. Arrows will be released toward the ground, no shooting is permitted from ground level.
I applaud the members of New Canaan's deer committee for their thoroughness, professionalism and courage in confronting this problem head on. They chose to endorse bow hunting as a safe and effective tool that, with their other recommendations, will begin to alleviate the deer overpopulation problem.

Attention Builders - Developers - Architects - Business Operators ... rarely available commercial and residential property at the corner of Western Ave. and Howard St. comprising of approx. 1400 square feet of ground level retail spaces with full basement and an additional 1400 plus square feet of residential above. The property is located in the sought-after Riverside neighborhood between popular Central Square and the Harvard Business School. Previous retail use was a convenience store, zoning allows many other options, buyer responsible for due diligence regarding other possible use and development. Property delivered vacant and in need of total renovation.


Your home should show the details you love to their best advantage: your decor, your art, your keepsakes and the beauty of the house itself. This Belmont, Brisbane residential installation is a great example of a glass balustrade that provides safety while showing off lovely decor, fabulous art and treasured family photos. This internal staircase was originally fixed with a heavy black wrought iron balustrade. When the owners purchased this property they wanted to open the area right up so they opted for a fully frameless glass balustrade with stainless steel handrail and fixings. The difference is amazing. The frameless glass balustrade enhances rather than hides the upper storey, and the choice of clear glass reflects the dramatic crystal chandelier in more ways than one. It also allows artwork and family photos to be viewed from various spots throughout the home. All the while, the secure glass panels and sturdy chrome railings make the upper storey and the stair safe for the whole family.

Sound the common sense alarm, Jordan Brand might actually be giving the people what they want this holiday season. That's right, the annual Christmas release that sets the world on fire (except maybe last year) could quite possibly be the much beloved Air Jordan 11 Space Jam. The release would be right on schedule too as the eponymous movie is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary this year as well. Combine that with Jordan Brand's willingness to get Warner Bros. and Bugs Bunny back on board, and it just sounds right.
Now that the shoe has been confirmed as this year's Holiday Air Jordan 11 release, we can only hope that this purported pair has received the remastered treatment on the level of the award-winning Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard or Air Jordan 6 Maroon (and that it has "45" on the heel).
So now we eagerly wait the return of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam. If we had to take a guess, the release date would either be on December 17 or if they want to cut it real close to Christmas, Jordan Brand could set it for December 24. Now a potential wild card date could also be November 15, which was the original release date of the movie.
Update: (11/30) Full family sizing will be offered. GS, PS, TD and Crib sizes are listed at $170, $90, $70 and $55 respectively.
Update: (11/15) Detailed official images from Nike have released. Today also marks the 20th anniversary of the live-action-animated sports comedy film, Space Jam (November 15, 1996).
Update: (11/10) The silhouette is officially unveiled and part of the standout Nike 12 Soles Collection for Holiday 2016. The release date and price tag is confirmed for 12/10, $220.
Update: (10/16) A comparison between the upcoming 2016 and previous 2009 version is showcased.
Update: (8/15) Additional images of the packaging and wrapping are featured.
Update: (7/13) A sneak peek of the packaging is revealed.

Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: There's a lot of speculation as to what form the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam will take when it finally drops this holiday season. The only thing that's for sure is that regardless of whether it was "23" or "45" or if it's Royal Blue or Concord Purple, people are going to lose their s**t for these kicks. Hopefully we all manage to get through this one safe and sound because the thirst for these will be unlike anything we've seen in a long time.

In this digital age, flippers are quick to find the best property deals all over the country, at any given time. But in order to beat out their competition, flippers are taking to the hottest new trend to hit the housing market, and purchasing homes sight unseen, otherwise known as Ghost Flipping! There's just one serious issue with buying ghost flips, the buyers are completely unaware of the potential home problems that could turn their quick flip into a major headache.

Hole's 'Celebrity Skin' Turns 20: Reflecting on the Glistening Pop-Rock Tribute to LA
The glitz, the glamour, the tragedy: It's all front-and-center on Courtney Love's letter to the City of Angels.

The story of Hole's Grammy-nominated third album, 1998's Celebrity Skin, is the story of modern Los Angeles, aka the City of Angels. Because beneath the glitz, the glamour, the windswept palms and star-studded skies, it can be a scorched earth hellhole filled with traffic and tragedy. That iconic album cover—with the palm trees ablaze, "paradise" burning—was spot on.
LA has a truly lovely façade—the sun, the ocean, the Ferraris, the gym-toned, beautiful people and their architecturally beautiful homes (and pools). The fame, the canyons, the money, the aspiring singer-actor-comedian triple threats and on and on and on. It's a manicured paradise built on nearly-uninhabitable desert, and it's all hiding the city's bedrock—the stark tragedies most of us swish by during rush hour on the side streets, or wince at in traffic on the freeway: The addicted, homeless droves dying atop the Walk of Fame—that stretch of Hollywood Boulevard celebrating actors and starlets (at the cost of $10k per year for a few pressure washes)—while surrounded by the nearly-as-desperate men and women dressed as film super heroes, ready for a tourist's photo op at the first sight of green. The prostitutes, the drugs, the isolation of a car-dominated social structure. Skid Row. Wow, Skid Row. The omnipresent helicopters and the car chase-as-spectator-sport culture they document, down to their inevitable, usually deadly, conclusions. The false promise of fame at your fingertips, luring more and more into its almost-always unrewarded depths. It's the excess of the Haves vs. the destitution of the Have-Nots, in America's most cynical display of entertainment.
It's a trip out here—Los Angelenos let their freak flags fly high, for better or worse, and the more time you spend in L.A., the more Pulp Fiction watches like a documentary film, a twisted alt-version of itself playing out in some corner, every day, of this expansive city.
Hole, 'Live Through This': Classic Track-by-Track Review
But, damn, Malibu really is nice.
With Celebrity Skin, Hole captured this angels-and-demons juxtaposition in pop-rock form, one acutely of the late '90s—not the early '90s. For Love, both her husband, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, and the grunge era in general, were over and dead.
Sure, nowadays, LA's a little less Melrose Place and a lot more Keeping Up with the Kardashians. But the seduction remains the same. And Love, a self-professed fame chaser from her earliest days, moved to Hollywood to remake herself from a grunge fuck-up with a dead icon of a husband, into a bonafide superstar. And like starlets before her, Hollywood first embraced her, then it threw her to the curb.
The album opens with the title track, "Celebrity Skin," with a super-barbed guitar hook and Love cutting to the chase: "Oh, make me over!" And by '98, her makeover was well underway. She had scored a Golden Globe nomination in 1997 for her role in The People vs. Larry Flynt (and was dating her co-star, Edward Norton), and she strutted her new look on the red carpet. The disheveled, Value Village prom queen of yesteryear had gone glitz. And so did her sound with Hole.
Love was clear about her intentions with Celebrity Skin from the get-go: Deconstruct the California sound, with hooks and hooks and hooks. Her label brought in Michael Beinhorn (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Aerosmith) to produce—and the sound is a clean sheen that pre-dates, yet nods to, the crispness and sterility of ProTools. Love, who was bouncing between auditions attempting to expand her acting career, was in a writing rut, so she brought in Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, among others, to help. Beinhorn's exacting production process—Love would later call him a "Nazi," but then re-hire him to produce 2010's Nobody's Daughter—was causing rifts in the band. Major ones.
Unhappy with Patty Schemel's drumming, Beinhorn recruited a session drummer, Deen Castronovo, to take over. This move resulted in Schemel spiraling into drug addiction, leaving the band and ultimately landing on the streets of LA, homeless and smoking crack and heroin. She'd later document this period (and more) in her book Hit So Hard. Fame has its costs, and she was hardly the band's first casualty.
Death and destruction—embodied in the abstract of drowning—were themes at the time. First, it was Cobain, who "drowned" in his fame and heroin. Then, after the release of their name-making record Live Through This, bassist Kristen Pfaff died from drowning in a bathtub. While recording the album, Love's friend Jeff Buckley drowned. Guitarist Eric Erlandson's father died of cancer, drowning in his own failing body. Bassist Melissa Auf de Mar's father met a similar fate from lung cancer. "Drowning became a metaphor for this record and for all the people we had lost," Erlandson once said. A liner note dedicated the album to "… anyone who ever drowned." On the back of the CD (remember those?) was Paul Steck's painting "Ophelia Drowning," depicting a Victorian princess floating blissfully underwater, flowers clutched to her chest.
8 Times Courtney Love Was, Well, Courtney Love
Celebrity Skin was Hole's most commercially successful album. To date, it has sold over 1,400,000 copies in U.S. For good reason: It was a sonic makeover. The guitars have a clean, twinkling sheen to them—and the songwriting came together beautifully. Like most thing in Hollywood, it Hole's sound, misery and fury, plasticized and packaged for the masses.
"Hey baby, take me all the way down," Love sings on "Reasons To Be Beautiful." On "Dying," she whispers over softly strummed guitar, "Our love is quicksand / So easy to drown," before the sound swells like the sea over two lovers rolling in the surf. On the dark, nu-metal-y "Use Once and Destroy," she wails, "It's the emptiness that follows you down / It's the ache inside when it all burns out." A squall of bass and wire-y guitar tangled in a knot, before exploding in a black-hearted chorus: "It's the awful truth you fight for your life / It might as well it might as well hurt." It's a tragedy in paradise.
Then there's "Malibu," the soul and center of Celebrity Skin. Ah, Malibu: Where the stars go for a little peace and quiet. Of all the hype around LA, Malibu actually deserves it. When you drive up the 101, then veer into Malibu Canyon Road you feel as if entering a sort of heaven. It's the road convertibles were designed for. And when you crest the hill and look down on the big, blue, misting Pacific Ocean, all your dreams of this sprawling city come alive. It's the spiritual equivalent of that iconic kissing scene from Here to Eternity.
"Crash and Burn, all the stars explode tonight," Love sings, whether she's painting a picture of the city or an allegory for the flickering trajectory of a young starlet, it really doesn't matter. "How'd you get so desperate? / How'd you stay alive?" It sounds like she's genuinely asking. For many an Angeleno, that answer is priceless advice.
Love was drowning—had been drowning—and was ready for a do-over. That's what LA is—the last stop, Manifest Destiny incarnate, a place to remake yourself, a place of freedom to be what you want to be. It worked, then it didn't. After Celebrity Skin, Love's career in film would never come together the way she wanted it to. The band would break up a few years later, and she'd face years of tabloid-ready scandal and drug abuse. "Oceans of stars / Down by the sea is where you / Drown your scars." The problem, especially with LA and the promise of a makeover, is that you can never drown the scars. They're always there. But sometimes the beauty is in just trying to.

Villas-Boas insists Chelsea are on the right track
November 4, 2011 May 15, 2015 Adl Admin
Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas says that the club's recent inconsistent form is part of a learning curve, and that the side are still heading in the right direction.
After a 1-1 draw with Genk in the Champions League during the week, Chelsea have won just one of their last four fixtures in all competitions.
However, Villas-Boas is quoted by the Telegraph as saying: "I think you have to be frank and say our process was stopped in a disastrous week for us in terms of results. But you cannot say it's all gone to ruins. That's not true. We represent a massive club and we're not running away from mistakes, but we have to move on. We are on the right track. What we are building is still right," he concluded.

Aggies Sign Massive DL Samu Taumanupepe
Samu Taumanupepe is listed at 380 pounds and moves into the Aggies' talent pipeline at interior defensive line.
Matt Galatzan
The Texas A&M Aggies added to the depth on the defensive line in their 2023 football signing class by officially signing Atascocita (Humble, TX) defensive tackle Samu Taumanupepe on Tuesday, the school announced.
Taumanupepe, a 6-3, 380-pound lineman was considering schools like Ball State, Baylor, Central Arkansas and Colorado before he committed to the Aggies in August.
He joins a defensive line group that included no seniors last season. Two freshmen made starts for the Aggies last season — Walter Nolen and LT Overton. Some of that defensive line depth has already been submitted to the transfer portal, including Marcus Burris, Dallas Walker IV, Tunmise Adeleye, and Elijah Jeudy. All are leaving with four years of eligibility remaining. The line's most experienced player, McKinnley Jackson, has already announced he will return for 2023.
Texas A&M is hoping to rebound from an uncharacteristic 5-7 season in 2022, one that saw them enter the season with high expectations, including potential contention for a berth in the College Football Playoff. Instead, the Aggies lost in September to Appalachian State at Kyle Field, which turned out to be a sign of things to come.
The Aggies lost six straight games, all in SEC play to miss bowl eligibility for the first time in coach Jimbo Fisher's five-year tenure in College Station. More urgently, the Aggies saw a flood of current players enter the transfer portal, as more than 20 have opted to leave the Aggie football program.
The Aggies open the 2023 season at home against New Mexico.

Heartwood, Inc. v. Elizabeth Agpaoa
Dec 13: In the U.S. Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit, Case No. 09-5761, appealed from the Eastern District of Kentucky at Lexington. As explained by the Appeals Court, Plaintiffs-Appellants Heartwood, Inc. and Kentucky Heartwood, Inc. (collectively Heartwood) are non-profit corporations active in forest and species protection. Heartwood appeals the district court's judgment granting Defendants-Appellees Elizabeth L. Agpaoa, the Regional Forester for the Daniel Boone National Forest (Forest), and the U.S. Forest Service (collectively Forest Service) judgment on the administrative record. Heartwood claims that the Forest Service enacted the 2004 Forest Plan (Plan) for the Forest in violation of the procedures mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Forest Management Act (NFMA).
Specifically, Heartwood alleges that, in promulgating the Plan, the Forest Service failed to consider a "no commercial logging" alternative and account for the environmental effects of herbicide use through an environmental impact statement (EIS). Heartwood also challenges the Forest Service's environmental assessment (EA) for the 2003 Ice Storm Recovery Project (Project) in the Forest, undertaken pursuant to the Plan; on this issue, Heartwood argues that the EA inadequately addressed the effects of herbicide application in the Project. Heartwood brings these claims against the Forest Service, a federal agency, under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
The Appeals Court reversed the district court's judgment which denied Heartwood's motion and instead entered judgment in full for the Forest Service; and remanded the case to the district court with instructions to "dismiss for want of jurisdiction." The Appeals Court said, "Unfortunately, Heartwood seems to have lost sight of the forest of constitutional standing for the trees of associational and agency standing, and it fails to allege with adequate specificity the central element of injury in fact"; and ruled, "Heartwood's standing affidavits are too general in their identification of 'site-specific activities [that] diminish[] or threaten to diminish their members' enjoyment of the designated' forest sub-sections, so Heartwood does not have standing to maintain this action." The Appeals Court cited Ctr. For Biological Diversity v. Lueckel, 417 F.3d at 537 (6th Cir. 2005).

Advanced Custom Fields is a plugin that allows you to take full control of your edit screens and custom field data. The free version has many of the features of the Pro version including text, page links, and a date picker. Perhaps the most helpful field type available at the Pro level is the Repeater field.
Custom Post Types are a built-in feature of WordPress. They allow you to group information together in a logical way to be reused on your site. Some examples would be events, locations, and testimonials.
On a recent project, I used Advanced Custom Fields to create cards that would be displayed on the home page. The design and layout of the site changed mid-project and required the cards to be placed on a different page. Since information stored by Advanced Custom Fields is specific to the page/post it is added to, I was going to need to re-enter it on the new page.
Instead, I deconstructed the Advanced Custom Fields and put them within Custom Post Types. That way, I could move them to the new page, and, should the need arise, they could easily be moved again.
Another project required event sponsors to be repeated on multiple pages. Using Custom Post Types, I created a page dedicated to the sponsors. I was also able to easily reuse portions of the post in other places.
What I've found is that Advanced Custom Fields is best used when you need to edit specific content beyond what simple HTML and/or shortcodes could accomplish, or if you need to ensure the content stays within the confines of the page structure that's been created. Custom Post Types should be used when the content may need to be used across multiple areas on the website or if the content could possibly move to another page in the future.

FILMTRACKS TRAFFIC RANK: #497
WRITTEN 9/4/04, REVISED 10/10/11
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid: (Nerida Tyson-Chew) It's fitting that the blood orchids of the jungles of Borneo only bloom once every seven years. Perhaps this means that audiences will get another Anaconda movie once every seven years as well. The original 1997 film in the series was actually quite reasonable entertainment, featuring a decent cast and one vicious, giant snake posing itself as the ultimate villain of the jungle. For the 2004 sequel, a ridiculous line of coincidental events causes the need for a large group of city-dwellers to go to the lair of the giant snakes once again. If you want to have any fun with the film whatsoever, you have to dismiss the dozens of completely illogical aspects to the film's premise and simply accept that these people really are motivated (though underequipped) to go searching for another blood orchid sample and face the treacherous snakes. And this time, of course, there are plenty of these foul creatures, so the film can pace itself nicely by having one of its cast members eaten at regular intervals. Composer Randy Edelman provided an adequately engaging score for Anaconda, but with the nearly complete switch of cast and crew for Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, director Dwight Little (whose mostly television background has obvious impacts on the film's camera movements) hired relatively unknown Australian composer Nerida Tyson-Chew for the scoring duties on the sequel. Involved mostly with Australian television projects since the early 1990's, Tyson-Chew had received considerable acclaim and awards recognition for Richard Franklin's Hotel Sorrento and had already been involved as a music editor, orchestrator, producer, conductor, or composer in a wide range of genres, from Ferngully 2 to Alien 3. Tyson-Chew's best known work for American audiences had been her contribution to "Batman: The Animated Series" on television, and Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid represented her first solo assignment for a major motion picture. Her credentials hail from USC in Los Angeles (having studied under the likes of Jerry Goldsmith, Henry Mancini, and Bruce Broughton), and her reputation had been built upon her experimentation with unorthodox methods of combining orchestration, choir, lyrics, and solos into her own style of writing.
Tyson-Chew's ability to stir up an impressively fresh sound for Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid in an otherwise tired, cliche-driven genre of film is remarkable. She manages to create a ruckus in a fashion remarkably similar to what Brian Tyler accomplished in several scores during the same decade, but with arguably more unique results. After you've heard six or seven low-grade horror scores involving giant monsters, you realize that there are only a certain number of ways in which you can create an appropriate musical atmosphere for that situation. How Tyson-Chew handles this challenge is by creating a score largely centered around the ethnic elements of Borneo, with nohkran and shakuhachi flutes fluttering in the higher ranges while diverse arrays of percussion, both in drums and in non-traditional metallic elements, constantly rumble and clang in the lower ranges. The ambient flute work will be familiar to John Williams' two Jurassic Park scores in many cues. A full orchestral ensemble performs with considerable power in Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, distinguishing the score by it sheer presence of depth in the moments of anticipation as well as, of course, the magnitude of force that it can create during pounding and strikingly rhythmic action sequences. Also of interest is how Tyson-Chew has layered the score, with the overwhelming Asian drums resonating deeply in the background while the woodwinds dance wildly in the mid-ranges and the chopping strings and crystal-clear brass occupy the forefront. Other spine-tingling percussion meanders through those three levels, and the resulting wall of horrifying sound is strangely enticing even during its most brutal moments. Her application of sampled effects to the mix is surprisingly well handled, adding to the atmosphere of dread without allowing any of the individual samples to distract from the whole. Many of these are sound effects that you would classify in the "creepy" category, the kind of sounds that an amusement park would reach for to supplement their horror-related attractions. In this case, the samples chosen are related in some way to a jungle environment, sometimes reminiscent of Predator. The use of these noises, as well as deep percussion, to emulate the growl of a large animal (presumably the sounds of the snakes in preparation for a nice meal), creates a remarkably fresh soundscape.
The score's obvious weakness is its lack of well developed thematic ideas. The "Opening Titles/Jungle Floor" cue contains a subtle brass theme that is extremely similar to the style with which John Williams used to write his disaster epic motifs of the 1970's. After a forceful reprise in "Elixir Perrinia Immortalis," that theme is not developed satisfyingly, however, until the climactic "Face-Off" cue at the end. Tyson-Chew does feature a secondary motif of romantic inclinations for moments of awe, however, using dramatic, tonal shifts that represent the score's most pleasant material. This aspect of the score is most poignantly conveyed at the start of "Elixir Perrinia Immortalis" and revisited in "Almost a Kiss" and "Totem," all of these instances reminding of Alan Williams' music for IMAX productions of the 1990's. The ethnic woodwinds of the score are at their best during these passages, "Stealing the Fruit" brilliantly mixing their exotic tones with the ensemble for another romantic interlude to open the cue. The remainder of the score is dedicated to the sense of relentless ambition that drives either the snakes or the quest for eternal life, and it is here that the score transcends its genre. Several downright kick-ass sequences of rhythmic mayhem allow the drums and brass to intermingle at rates of speed and levels of brutality that will impress you with their ability to make convincing noise without really going anywhere or accomplishing any larger musical construct. A well-balanced mix of the players in these sequences, too, causes even the low-level groans and snarls of percussion and base strings to be easily audible despite the best efforts of the brass section to steal the show. In the end, Tyson-Chew's score follows the formula development for the genre, lacking thematic complexity and mellowing to a somewhat comforting finale in the closing cue. On paper, it may very well have been an average horror score, and if you don't care for constant chasing and sudden strikes of the full ensemble, then definitely skip it. But Tyson-Chew has done something here that needs recognition; her score sounds as though it was performed and recorded in a jungle, creating an authentic and distinct sound with her varied specialty instruments and mixing process. The quantity and quality of ideas in the music for Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, regardless of the fact that the achievement was lost in a forgotten film, represents a rare horror effort that is enjoyable because of its sheer noise-factor rather than its gloomy, tonal tragedy. It proves that being outwardly obnoxious sometimes works. **** @Amazon.com: CD or Download

Q: Turning a Java application into a Servlet I have created a recommender system in Java that does the following:
 1. takes in a dataset that is in the form of a CSV file
 2. takes user input
 3. compares the user input with the data from the dataset
 4. calculates predictions
 5. provides recommendations to the user based on the calculations
However, I am now trying to change that same recommender system into the form of a Web application.
Is there a way to still use the code from my Java application or will I have to create a similar recommender system in a new language/format?

A: I am not sure if that's exactly what you want but let's see:
You should be able to copy the logic if you followed the MVC pattern(if you kept UI and logic seperate).
In this case, you can create a new dynamic web project, add the model(logic) and build your own view/controller(UI) using servlets around it.
If you didn't follow the MVC pattern, it might get difficult to adopt everything but it should at least be possible to copy parts of it.
[Note]
MVC(Model View Controller) is a best practice.
It means that you have model classes that contain your logic, controller classes that are for communicating between the model and the view and the view that contain the UI(e.g. FXML or JSP files).
MVC makes it easier to have multiple UIs/switch between UIs as you want.

Miguel (Michael Peña) is a hardworking father and devoted husband wrongfully accused of murdering the wife of a former sheriff (Ed Harris) after he illegally crosses the U.S. border. In an effort to help her husband, Miguel's pregnant wife (Eva Longoria) also attempts a crossing, but finds herself in the clutches of corrupt Mexican "Coyote" smugglers. The three find their lives intertwined as the ex-lawman investigates his wife's death and unearths evidence that could destroy one family's future, while saving the lives of the young couple. His discovery forces all sides to examine the complex issues of immigration and human trafficking that deeply affect the U.S. and Mexico. "Frontera" shows that while a border might divide the two countries, it can't divide human decency.

I really enjoyed this movie it was sad but in the end it was so heartwarming. Hate cannot be allowed to win

"Frontera" is a thoughtful borderland drama that reminded me in some ways of the excellent 2004 Paul Haggis film "Crash". Highly recommended.

Excellent movie! Ed Harris is great. Story line is sad but it has heart.

One brutal episode about the migrants, a rancher, law enforcement officers and the quagmire of our immigration actions/inactions along the border of Mexico and Arizona (or New Mexico.) Similar issues are happening in Europe today.

Very good. Ed Harris is so....Ed Harris. He and his character's wife in the movie are actually married. The movie's a grim portrayal of migrants struggling to gain entry to the US--the very last scene was too frought with awful possibilities--I skipped it, something I've never done before. I recommend the movie.

Informative and rewarding.

More of an exposé/documentary than a movie. It is among the best movies I have seen. It is not just worth watching but should be seen by anyone interested in current affairs and global events, given all the economic migration. Most immigrants are honest people with a good work ethic (such people migrate in search of work).

- Which trail are you taking?
- The wash.
- Why do you always got to ride the damn wash?
- Because it's the best trail.
- Yeah, it is. That's why we can't keep the damn Mexicans out of it.
- If I see any "damn Mexicans," I'll tell them hello from you.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas—In a crucial district matchup Friday night, Klein Collins defeated The Woodlands High School Basketball 61-57. The Tigers move to second place in the district while The Woodlands slides to the fourth spot.
Senior captain Charlie Zorn started out with a bang, scoring the Highlanders first 11 out of 15 points. The point guard erupted for 30 points in the team's loss. Zorn's scoring gave the Highlanders held the early lead going into halftime 30-25.
Keeping the Tigers in the game was Jacob Paske. The Senior scored 11 of his 21 points in the first half to stay within 10 points of the hot Highlander team. Paske's night ended early after fouling out with under two minutes in the fourth quarter. Foul trouble would hurt both teams late in the game, with Highlander Charlie Zorn also having to sit a few minutes late in the game with four fouls.
While Paske was forced to sit, senior Carter Rhyne stepped up. The guard, who also doubles as the school's varsity quarterback nailed a three-pointer with under a minute left to give the Tigers the lead.
Still in the playoff picture at the moment, the Highlanders will have a tough last few week of the season—starting with district leaders Klein Forest on Tuesday.
