Александр Васильевич Гине (1830—1880) — российский художник-пейзажист, рисовальщик, литограф; академик живописи Императорской Академии художеств.

Биография
Происходил из дворян. Сын учителя 1-й Казанской гимназии (позже — инспектор 2-й Казанской гимназии и директор Саратовской гимназии) Василия Фёдоровича фон Гине.

Учился в Казанской гимназии вместе с И. И. Шишкиным, с которым дружил всю жизнь. Художественное образование начал получать в 1854 году в Московском училище живописи, ваяния и зодчества у А. Н. Мокрицкого, а с 1856 года в качестве вольноприходящего ученика занимался в классе пейзажной живописи Императорской Академии художеств у С. М. Воробьева.

В 1857 году вместе с И. И. Шишкиным, П. П. Джогиным и Е. А. Ознобишиным работал в местечке Дубки близ Сестрорецка. В 1857 и 1858 годах за ландшафтные рисунки Гине был отмечен малыми серебряными медалями, в 1859 году награждён большой серебряной медалью.

Сюжетами для своих картин Гине избрал берега Финского залива и Валаам на Ладожском озере. В 1858 году им написан «Вид на Финском заливе (м. Дубки)», в 1859 году — три вида из окрестностей Петербурга (этюды), «Вид Финского залива, близ Петербурга», а также «Берег Финского залива», за которую он получил большую серебряную медаль.

В 1858—1861 годах он ежегодно совершал поездки на Валаам. В 1860 году им написан «Вид на острове Валааме», за которую он получил малую золотую медаль. В этом же году получил от Академии художеств денежное вознаграждение «за труды по опытам литографии», которыми занимался совместно с Шишкиным. Гине литографировал свои картины «Вид на Валааме» («Русский Художественный Альбом» 1861 год, тетрадь № 3) и «Вид берега Финского залива».

В 1862 году он совместно с П. П. Джогиным и В. В. Верещагиным создал иллюстрации к книге А. В. Вышеславцева «Очерки пером и карандашом из кругосветного плавания».

В 1863 году направлен Академией «для написания видов с натуры» в Харьковскую и Таврическую губернии; в 1864 году вновь был в Харьковской губернии, посетил Святогорский монастырь; посетил Крым.

В 1865 году А. В. Гине был выпущен из Академии со званием классного художника 1-й степени по пейзажной живописи. В этом же году за картину «Летний день» получил премию оргкомитета Общества поощрения художников, в выставках которого принимал участие до 1879 года.

В 1868 иллюстрировал книгу П. И. Пашино «Путешествие по Туркестану».

В 1878 году за картины «Буря на острове Валааме» (1878), «Дождь. Вид из окрестностей Гатчины» и «Ночь. Весенний разлив Волги» он был удостоен звания академика пейзажной живописи. В этом же году работы Гине экспонировались на Парижской всемирной выставке.

Согласно «РБСП», А. В. Гине «был талантливый живописец, но жизнь его сложилась неудачно и была непрерывным рядом трудов и лишений». Александр Васильевич Гине умер в ночь на 4 июня 1880 года в Санкт-Петербурге в крайней бедности и был погребён на Малоохтинском кладбище.

Произведения А. В. Гине находятся во многих музейных и частных собраниях, в том числе в Государственной Третьяковской галерее, ГМИИ им. А. С. Пушкина, Государственном Русском музее, Иркутской, Пензенской, Тверской областных картинных галереях, Казанском художественном музее, Нижнетагильском музее изобразительных искусств.

В 1868 году, 11 января, у него родилась дочь Екатерина, восприемниками которой при крещении в Рождественской церкви в Песках были Иван Иванович Шишкин и княжна Татьяна Борисовна Потёмкина.

Piano, My Old Friend
This past year I've been reconnecting with the piano (which I credit to having gone through The Artist's Way). It was my first instrument, which I started when I was 6; I took private lessons for 10 years, played in countless recitals and in church, accompanied a few choral groups in high school, and as a teenager learned basic theory and playing from chord charts with the church band.
I never stopped playing, but when I turned my focus to jazz a few years ago, I decided to hone in on flute and voice, since flute seemed to be a rarer instrument in jazz than piano (plus, it looked incredibly difficult to play jazz piano. Ironically, it's been hard to find jazz piano players in the area who are not already booked for the quartet gigs I do get). So I dug in and studied and strove and tried my hardest with having three young children at home. When I started booking duo gigs I would hire a piano player, because I knew I was not competent in jazz piano, and also so I could play my flute. :)
Fast forward to last year: my duo partner, Joe, said I didn't give myself enough credit for my piano playing. I was comparing myself to the great jazz pianists (and Justin Kauflin was my closest local exposure to it), so I felt completely intermediate and like not a great player. But we so often focus on our weaknesses and not our strengths. Joe encouraged me, and I began doing one set piano and vocals when I was on the late shift at Gershwin's. I've still felt awkward so many times, and even as a singer-songwriter and worship leader in my earlier years, both vocal and piano suffered when I did both at the same time, so I got frustrated and gave it doing both simultaneously, for the most part.
I started doing more and more gigs piano and voice. Then I did my solo shows at Live on Atlantic with keyboard, vocals, and flute utilizing my loop pedal! That's fun but challenging. Then, a soul/R&B vocalist got my name and asked if I would accompany her. I explained to her that I wasn't primarily a piano accompanist and that she might want to find someone else more qualified, but she told me that her other people had flaked out and weren't reliable, so she wanted to give it a go with me. We did and I'm still playing with her! It's been challenging, to keep the time steady, and then to venture in to the R&B land where I don't have as much experience or knowledge. I know I'm not tearing it up like some of the players out there, but I'm doing well and always striving to improve.
I've been regularly subbing at a church playing just piano, did two funerals this past weekend solo piano.
I've also been slowly working through Mark Levine's Jazz Piano Book. Strangely, I've been gracious and patient with myself in working through it. I only take a little bit at a time; I practice it and make sure I've got it before moving on. I wasn't so gracious with learning jazz flute - maybe because I was booking gigs and feeling the pressure to be a good improviser right away.
A few weeks back I started on the chapter about left-hand voicing and comping, and I got so excited. I've always been fascinated by comping and thought it so mysterious and unattainable, but now, I had the visual tools right in front of me! It felt and can still feel so weird to stretch my left hand into chords when I've been so used to tonic and fifth in my left for pop/worship/original music, and even jazz as I've accompanied myself and had to play the bass. But I started slowly going through the ii-V-I forms and assimilating them little by little.
Then a place where I regularly play solo asked for a jazz trio for a special event. Since as a flautist and vocalist I usually go for a quartet so I have piano or guitar, bass, and drums behind me, this time I thought, "You know, why don't I go for the piano trio and I'll be the pianist!" So I booked it and began going through each tune (carefully choosing ones that wouldn't stress me too much, but I still learned a whole lot in preparing them) and its form for comping and such, and training myself NOT to play the bass notes since I'd have a bass plater.
Folks, I played my first jazz piano gig as the bandleader on Monday! It was so joyful. It felt like real jazz, and we get that so little these days. The piano I played was a beautiful instrument, making it easy to milk the keys. Being part of the rhythm section was grounding and fueled a deep pool in me. I may even be a better improviser on piano than flute, because I can see it in front of me. I'm a very visual learner, and that's been one of the hardest things for me on jazz flute, trying to visualize all the notes and scales and licks when I don't see it in front of me. I'm naturally much more comfortable reading music.
My favorite jazz sound has been and probably always will be jazz piano trio - piano, upright, and drums. Skip the strings, the saxophones, the horns, just give me piano. Maybe it's because it's where I started, and it still thrills me to be able to press the keys and make something inanimate sing.
So, hello, piano, my old friend. Let's play.

Deft Designer is a Zone Wide mission in the Defera Invasion Zone, given by Captain Kuzmina.
The mission objective is to craft 4x [Presequenced Frequency Randomizer] or 4x [Tuned Anti Borg-Device] and bring them back to Captain Kuzmina.
We're running low on supplies for the advance forces who are protecting the refugee zones, and I'm concerned that the Borg will take this as an opportunity to push their offensive into those areas.
Holding the line here is hard enough. If we lose the refugee areas ... I don't want to think about what the Borg could do with hundreds of new drones.
What we really need are more Presequenced Frequency Randomizers. It would be a great help if you could bring me some.
If you need more information about how to create Presequenced Frequency Randomizers, visit the Research Scientists here. They have a tent at the back of the base camp near the mail station.

Castle Kong Review for Nintendo Switch: Retro Throwback or Blatant Donkey Kong Clone?
3rd March 2021 Jamie Christensen Game Reviews, Headlines, Nintendo, Nintendo Switch, Retro Gaming, Reviews, Switch, Video Games 0
Castle Kong for Nintendo Switch
One of the most popular varieties of indie titles are retro throwback games. These are homages to seemingly bygone eras of gaming – eras defined by bit counts and dimly lit arcades.
One of the defining arcade titles of the 1980s was the original Donkey Kong. In this old-school romp, you took control of a little red-hatted moustachioed man named Mario (in his first-ever appearance) as you go through four levels to save your girlfriend, Pauline, from the titular pissed-off ape.
It's a simple premise and a title that gets more difficult the farther you go on, but that's the nature of the ape-like beast. It's a quarter muncher, after all.
Castle Kong, developed and published by Drowning Monkeys Games, seeks to recapture the magic of the original Donkey Kong while putting their own spin on it. In this title, you play as a medieval peasant who sets off to save the beautiful PrincessGirl from the evil, king-like BaronMan. And that's it.
Gotta scale that castle wall!
The game is advertised as having 22 levels and four stages. I initially thought that meant four worlds with 22 levels spread throughout them. What it actually meant was four levels, like in the original Donkey Kong, with 22 levels of rising difficulty. And goodness, does that difficulty get up there – much like its arcadey inspiration, Castle Kong can be rather difficult.
But perhaps the word inspiration gives Castle Kong too much credit. It has a pixel art style that clearly pays homage to games of the 1980s and early 1990s. It has music that's very reminiscent of the original DK game. The controls even feel exactly the same, complete with stiff jumps and deaths that result from falling off of platforms.
It doesn't help that Castle Kong is a little bit buggy, too. Twice when I tried to load into a game, the graphics outright failed to load. I could hear my little peasant man running around and jumping, but all I could see was the HUD at the top of the screen.
Save the princess by dropping a chandelier on the evil BaronMan!
The biggest issue in Castle Kong is its lack of identity. It's not so much an homage to Donkey Kong as it is a blatant clone. Perhaps that's okay in regards for the PC version available through Steam, as that's free-to-play, but the Nintendo Switch version here costs $6.99 USD.
Perhaps there would have been more incentive to pick up this title last year. Throughout 2020, the developers had a reward of $5,000 USD available to the first person to livestream themselves beating the game. A neat sales gimmick, sure, but now that the contest is over, all that is left is a subpar DK clone.
All the while, the NES version of Donkey Kong is available via the NES app on Switch for those who have a Nintendo Switch online account. And while that's definitely not a great version of Donkey Kong (it's missing a level), it still feels like a better package than Castle Kong here.
If you're craving some Donkey Kong action, then open up your NES App. Or download Castle Kong for free on PC.
Donkey Kong '94, as seen when played via the Super Game Boy for SNES.
Hell, if you're a big fan of Nintendo's tie-wearing ape, even pick up Donkey Kong '94 on the Game Boy. That game features not just a remake of the original arcade game, but also includes around 100 brand new levels focused on puzzle solving, all the while giving Mario himself a moveset that feels similar to the one later used in the New Super Mario Bros. games.
But avoid Castle Kong on the Switch. It's not a bad game. But my goodness, does it lack any identity of its own. There are much better ways to spend seven bucks on the eShop.
It's certainly a mostly-functional Donkey Kong clone.
It's very blatantly a Donkey Kong clone.
Holy stability problems, Batman!
At the price, four levels isn't nearly enough content.

The Government is releasing thousands of acres of green belt land for developers to concrete over, as a population boom driven by mass immigration exacerbates a surging demand for housing.
A record 12,350 acres were carved off the green belt — designed to protect Britain's countryside from urban sprawl — in the year to March 31st, with around 25,000 acres lost since 2012, according to the Daily Mail.
"The government must stop heaping pressure on councils to deliver unrealistic targets that result in the green belt being chipped away," complained Rebecca Pullinger, planning campaigner for the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), which claims to have identified plans for an astonishing 460,000 houses on land released from the green belt already.
"Instead developers should be held more accountable to deliver the homes that they have promised. Building within or on land released from the green belt is not the solution: it results in low density, unaffordable homes," Pullinger added.
Britain's left-liberal opposition parties, including the hard-left Labour opposition, have criticised the Tories for housing shortages, but neither they nor the CPRE seem willing to address the root cause of the issue, which is the country's immigration-driven population boom.
The Tories, despite their nominal status as a 'centre-right' party, have also proved largely unwilling to address the link between housing issues and immigration, although former housing minister Dominic Raab — now Secretary of State for Brexit — did recently admit that incomers have pushed up house prices by at least 20 percent.
Raab has also confessed that, of an estimated extra 5.3 million new properties which will be needed over the next five years, almost half will go to migrants.
The proportion which will go to the descendants of migrants was not identified, but is presumably significant, as statistics show 33.7 percent of babies born in England and Wales had at least one parent born outside the United Kingdom in 2016.

OCSC calls on Australia to improve cyber security resilience for ourselves and region
intel & cyber | 18 November 2019 | Louis Dillon
By: Louis Dillon
Australia's premier cyber security research organisation, the Oceania Cyber Security Centre (OCSC), has implored the country's policy makers, industry and research community to place a greater emphasis on improving local and regional cyber security resilience in order to protect the national interests of Australia and close neighbour states.
The OCSC is a not-for-profit collaboration of eight universities based in Victoria, Australia, with the "broad aim" of engaging with government and industry to conduct research, develop training opportunities and build capacity in Australia and across the Oceania region for responding to current and emerging cyber security issues.
Last week, the OCSC held its inaugural Project Showcase event in Melbourne, with chairman Cameron Boardman delivering an address in which he noted that the rapid growth and proliferation of notifiable data breaches was proof that Australia and its smaller neighbouring island states remain ill-equipped to deal with arguably the most proximate and prominent threat to their respective economies and national security.
"The number of notifiable data breaches is growing steadily and significantly. Understanding where the gaps are is critical to lessening the ability of bad actors or cyber criminals to attack a nation, its peoples and their allies," Boardman said.
"It's also important to note the stepping stones or 'hop points' for a cyber attack are not just limited to smaller, developing economies. There are examples of cyber attacks where trusted suppliers in 'developed' economies have been infiltrated to gain access upstream into more secure environments."
The centre's eight university partners, as well as over 120 specialist information technology and cyber security researchers within them, provide the foundation to work with private enterprises and the public sector to identify and develop solutions to complex security threats.
The first ever showcase event allowed leading cyber security researchers from OCSC member universities to present current proof of concept projects to an audience of some 200 academic peers and industry representatives.
"The OCSC is committed to working with the Australian and regional governments to prioritise and drive projects that can help build national cyber security capacity across Australia and the region and create a free and safe cyber space for all," Boardman said.
Nine first-round collaborative projects were showcased in total, with Carsten Rudolph, associate professor for cyber security at Monash University and OCSC director, saying the event not only presented an opportunity to showcase the projects underway, but also provided a critical juncture between researchers and industry to strengthen opportunities for further collaboration and applications.
"An important part of our remit at OCSC is to not only showcase the available research but to catalyse collaboration opportunities between universities and the wider industry communities, including both private enterprise and the public sector," Rudolph said.
"We are proud to present the first round of nine collaborative projects and we are committed to seeing them through to fruition as tools and solutions with real-world practical applications that can improve the cyber security resilience of Australia and our neighbour states across Oceania."
The Victorian government provides "substantial support" for the OCSC to carry out its operations, with its key areas of interest including:
Critical infrastructure;
Data analytics;
Network security;
Cryptography;
Privacy and social media;
AI and automation; and
Organisational security.
The centre's flagship project is the Cybersecurity Capacity Maturity Model for Nations (CMM), which has been deployed to over 70 countries.
The OCSC works in collaboration with the University of Oxford's Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre to complete national level cyber security capacity policy assessments predominately in the Pacific region.
OCSC's other key partners to deliver these projects are the Global Forum on Cyber Security, the International Telecommunication Union and the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre, the regional internet address registry.
To date, the OCSC has completed CMMs for Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Kiribati.

8 Reasons Why One Should Be Super-Thrilled To Watch Kavaludaari


On this page I'm going to explore the classical 'Glitch in the Matrix' possibility as being due to a fault or error that leads to a large scale catastrophic unexpected presentation that will be noticeable to the simulations residents such that they will question the nature of reality and particularly the quaint idea that reality is always entirely 'consistent' and or 'real'.
So, a simulation glitch could be the result of some hardware component fault or failure or it could relate to a simulation software language error, bug or logic failure under certain conditions, or an error in how the software handles the data as it is being prepared for 'rendering'.
A serious 'Glitch in the Matrix' will therefore result in some 'reality fault' being perceived, either by many people simultaneously or consistently by different people at different times. Basically, 'something' will happen that is either NOT what the simulation designers expected or intended.
Here are some examples of some different catastrophic 'glitches' in the matrix possibilities.
You cease to exist (simulation hardware power failure).
The colour blue 'disappearing' everywhere.
Everyone missing blocks of time or chunks of memory.
Everything physical suddenly becoming visually transparent for everyone.
Visual reality becoming noticeably pixelated or noticeably switching from a coarser resolution to a much finer one.
Common problems involving processor overloading or basic hardware faults or software language problems could have a simulated person experiencing miss-rendering problems which would result in resolution degradation, time-skips, time-lags etc.
A simulated resident could also experience incomplete rendering which would result in objects of 'things' going missing from one render frame to the next.
In the case of having objects 'popping' in from nothing (because they hadn't loaded the object before the display needed to be perceived) then although this is a software decision it is actually caused by the hardware not being powerful enough at that moment to render the 'scene' at the desired frame rate.
So, either the frame rate drops (causing miss-rending as described above) or things within a 'frame' are deliberately missed out or presented in reduced detail in order to get the frame out on time.
Random fogged, blurred or other obscuring effects particularly of 'far away' objects.
Frame traffic delays (things move slowly so require less change per frame).
Distant objects could have frame updates less often than the 'global' frame rate and would therefore seem to move in stop motion video.
Any of the above can happen when the simulation hardware is overloaded, confused or waiting and has to spend time trying to sort itself out in order to continue with what it is programmed to do. Basically, these types of glitches are generally down to delays in getting the right instructions to the logic processing 'unit(s)' in the correct order. Such delays could be due to there being bottlenecks in passing information from one component to another or they could be because the processing capacity of one or more hardware components is approaching their maximum capacity.
Most types of hardware glitches are rarely repeatable except when there is a major design fault or oversight and they are (I'm told) random in distribution. The repeating 'glitches' all come down to incompatibilities between interconnected components OR things like the Pentium Floating Point Bug which was an internal architecture design fault that caused it to calculate a limited number of floating point sums incorrectly.
As any of the above are going to be very 'noticeable' to all the population then they are 'serious' and proper 'glitches'.
How Would a Competent Simulation Designer Approach Addressing 'Glitches in the Matrix' Possibilities?
However, as this is likely going to be a very, very important project then you'd likely stress test all your hardware components as well as the operating system and software languages to an unbelievable degree such that you would expect that designers should have ironed out all hardware and 'major' software language glitches in test runs and in simulated 'simulation' runs with the likely result that they'd be able to virtually guarantee that there'd be no catastrophic glitches.
Having said the above, I should point out (once again) that 'IF' a simulation designer knew that there was any chance of any of the above happening under any combination of 'normal' operational circumstances then they'd likely implement a 'frail and faulty people' as an explanation protocol.
In fact any simulation designer that was actually competent would be able to deduce that the chances of themselves being able to predict and pre-implement solutions and remedies to address all possible 'glitch in the matrix' possibilities as being impossible they'd likely automatically implement the 'frail and faulty people' explanation (the 'FAFP' protocol) JUST IN CASE.
'IF' they did implement the FAFP protocol then they'd also have to keep people confused and unaware of the little FACT that simulated people in being entirely software generated would be the most complicated component to implement AND would therefore be the most likely component to present real 'glitches' anomalies.
In other words, anyone competent that was serious about assessing and evaluating realistic earth as a simulation possibilities would AUTOMATICALLY evaluate ALL frailties and faults exhibited by their population as being a potential simulation anomaly or artefact (possibly due to a simplifying approximation or a simulation decision to maximise the success of the likely very expensive simulation project (such as managing the entire population for example)).
Strangely I've never even seen anyone even question the use of the 'frail and faulty people' explanation nor anyone pointing out that to use this to explain people 'oddities' for ENTIRELY SIMULATED PEOPLE probably isn't sensible, logical or even objective.
So, the above describes the possible components specific and component interaction problems and of making sure your hardware system doesn't do anything unexpected and avoids basic processing overloading problems.
However, to increase the chances of avoiding system processing overloads you are likely to design in 'limits' or boundaries to both the fundamental micro components of your reality as well as of certain macro components. This is discussed on the next page . . .

Q: C++ Derived Class Inheritance Method Error It's been a while since I programmed in C++ and I am trying to do some practice problems to get familiar with the syntax again.  I'm writing a program that has a base class RetailEmployee with 3 derived classes: SalesEmployee, WarehouseEmployee, and ManagerEmployee.  I have the following code in the top of my header for one of the derived classes:
// Sales Employee Class Header
#indef SalesEmployee
#define SalesEmployee

#include <stdio.h>
#include "RetailEmployee.h"

using namespace std;

class SalesEmployee
{
public:
    SalesEmployee(string department, float pay, int ID, string name)
.
.
.

However, anytime I try to use a method from the base class on a SalesEmployee instance I get an error saying the method is not found.  Also, all of the files are in the same directory.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

A: You have not instructed the compiler that class SalesEmployee is a descendant of class RetailEmployee. To do that, you should:
class SalesEmployee : public RetailEmployee
{

}

You will also need to change your constructor for class SalesEmployee to pass along the necessary construction initialization info to class RetailEmployee. Such as this in your SalesEmployee.cpp implementation file:
SalesEmployee::SalesEmployee(string department, float pay, int ID, string name) : RetailEmployee( department, pay, ID, name )
{
    // Whatever special initialization SalesEmployee has goes here.
}

I am presuming all those data members are actually defined in the base class since they should be common to all your classes.

I am a psychologist working at Folsom State Prison and have therapy group designed to help inmates think positively and take positive action in their lives.
Recently, we have begun reading The Alchemist in group because I thought it would be good for the inmates to start thinking about their own personal legends so they can start to nurture their own paths.
I must say they are taken by the story and are freely sharing their hopes and dreams with one another. They are contemplating their obstacless and what they can do to get through them.
Society has told them that they are done but, as they journey with Santiago, they are learning otherwise and are inspired.
Thank you for The Alchemist on behalf of the inmates in the Positive Mood Group at Folsom State Prison!
I just posted it here because this may serve as an example to many.
I also strongly encourage my friends in this blog to support you in whatever you need.
Here is a link to Folsom State Prison – Mission Statement with all the relevant addresses.


Hametz — Avigail S. Oren, Ph.D.
It seems that when the Jews were finally freed from slavery and left Egypt, they had neither the time to let their bread rise nor to write blog posts. It's been a week without blogging or hametz and frankly I've quite missed both. I had the pleasure of spending Passover with my family in Florida, but it was a busy trip and I prioritized my dissertation in the sporadic hours I found myself free of familial responsibilities.
As I have steadily worked on my first chapter, I continue to pilot my writing checklist. I've had the most success with step one, eliminating distractions, and surprisingly also with step four, documenting my progress. It's been helpful to summarize and synthesize the day's work, because the next day I have a great reminder of where to begin.
Step two has been the most difficult. I've struggled to articulate "reasonable and meaningful" goals each day. In fact, I've mostly skipped this step and thus had to forgo step five, reward. I experimented with time goals (ex: write for 3 hours) and with completion goals (ex: finish a particular section). The former was often too ambitious and not commensurate with the daily variations in my stamina; the latter was tricky to adhere to because I tend to restructure sections as I write. Although I was inconsistent about setting a timer, which was step three on the checklist, I found that with the timer I was more likely to continue writing past the point when I felt like quitting.
I've thus created a second draft of the checklist that matches writing tasks to my attention span. Instead of selecting a completion goal or setting an arbitrary number of hours I want to work, I will instead divide my available work time into a number of Pomodoro cycles ("pomodori") and assign a general task to each one. For example, I could choose to do three pomodori of 25 minutes each separated by 5 minute breaks. In the first I could commit to re-reading and editing the previous days' writing, in the second I could outline the next paragraph, and in the third I could read the secondary literature on that topic.
I will report back next week on whether these revisions inspire more productive writing sessions or, conversely, have the unintended consequence of promoting productive procrastination.

I've been voicing concerns about electromagnetic radiation (EMR), including radio frequency radiation from cell phones, baby monitors, cordless phones, wifi, etc.,for years. When the so-called smart meters arrived on the scene I was alarmed. They operate in the microwave frequency range and you can't shut them off. They operate 24/7/365 and they can't be moved as they are mounted on the side of your home/school/hospital/office building. They interact with other smart meters in a mesh grid, compounding the EMR problem.
When smart meters came to my neighborhood on Maui I had to do something so I created www.StopSmartMetersHawaii.com. Please check it out for facts about smart meters and valuable resources. While you're there please sign the petition to stop smart meters in Hawaii. If you care about Hawaii help protect paradise from this dangerous new technology.

Q: Do Multiple Linq To Entity Queries In Entity Framework Using One DBContext Connect Only Once To The Database I am trying to return two result sets from an SQL Server database using Entity Framework 6.  I would like to try this by running 2 Linq to Entity queries using a single DBContext.  My question is by using a single DBContext is whether my request is only being hit by a database connection once. I think it is but I am not sure.
class RequestRefLists
{
  public List<Employee> EmployeeList {get;set;}
  public List<Dept> DeptList {get;set;}
}

    public RequestRefLists GetRequestRefLists()
   {
    RequestRefLists ReqRefLists = new RequestRefLists();

    using(var context= new BusinessDBContext())
    {
      var queryResult1 = from e in context.Employees
      select e;
      ReqRefLists.EmployeeList = (List<Employee>)queryResult1.ToList();

      var queryResult2 = from d in context.Departments
      select d;
      ReqRefLists.DeptList = (List<Dept>)queryResult2.ToList();
    }
    return ReqRefLists;
   }

A: You can use Entity Framework Extended Library.
There is a feature named Future queries
class RequestRefLists
{
    public List<Employee> EmployeeList {get;set;}
    public List<Dept> DeptList {get;set;}
}

public RequestRefLists GetRequestRefLists()
{
    RequestRefLists ReqRefLists = new RequestRefLists();

    using(var context= new BusinessDBContext)
    {
        var queryResult1 = from e in context.Employees
        select e;
        ReqRefLists.EmployeeList = queryResult1.Future();

        var queryResult2 = from d in context.Departments
        select d;
        ReqRefLists.DeptList = queryResult2.Future();
    }
    return ReqRefLists;
}

Your queries will execute lazy on first enumeration of any collection.

ExecuteFutureQueries builds a batch query from all the stored
  IFutureQuery objects. Finally, all the IFutureQuery objects are
  updated with the results from the query.


Facebook has prepared the process of generating leads on the platform much simpler. With the novel objective of Lead generation, you can request customers and visions for their information, and they can offer it without ever having to leave Facebook.
Here is detailed guide and explanation on how you can download data of lead campaign from Facebook. For this you are required to first create a Lead ad and then download data of Lead campaign.
At present, you can just create and edit the lead ads inside Power editor. If you have not make use of this tool before, it's a best tool for creating and managing the ads of Facebook.
When you download your ads account in to this editor, click the button for Creating Campaign in the top left corner. From here, enter a name for your ad and get on the drop-down menu of objective. If you have admittance to this objective, you will have look to menu options alike to the below image.
Choose the option as shown below and then proceed to the creation procedure of ad as you usually would. When you get off to its level, you will observe the below segment of form.
Click on the button of creating new form in order to create your first lead making form (and each form for that stuff).
Next, enter a name for your form inside the text box and go to Next.
Now pick the details that you wish to get from customers and views.
You can also include any custom kind of questions that you wish to ask. When you are completed accumulating your questions, go to Next.
Include a link to your privacy plan as you will require this and click on Next.
Now mention your address of website. Customers will have the option to click over to it after they send the form. Then click on Next.
You are required to preview your form, and if everything looks fine, click on button of creating form.
After you have made all of your ads, give them a concluding check for typographical error and then upload this ad account.
Retrieving your leads is a labor-intensive process for now. Facebook does not so far provide an option to import your leads inevitably to a tool like mail chimp.
To acquire your leads, go to the Facebook page that is linked with your ads and click on the tab of publishing tools at the top side.
From there, go to Form library on the left hand of the screen. Remember that you require having admin permission to view forms.
On the right side, you will observe all of the forms that you have made. Hit off on the link of download after to your form to download your leads in the format of CSV.
The column fields are appealing self-explanatory. Columns from A to F provide you details regarding the campaign, ad, when the lead was taken and which form it was. After that, you will get the info that you requested from users.

Q: count elements in an array that is very deeply nested I need to figure if there are better ways to count the number of elements in an array that is like 5 levels deep.
I am trying to get a count of number of reports.
Here are my methods:
def member_report_sum
  members.sum(&:report_sum)
end

def report_sum
  member.information.groups.sum { |group| group.tasks.reports.count }
end

This is my structure:
members: [
      {
        id: 'member_id',
        information: {
          groups: [
            {
              name: 'Member1',
              tasks: {
                reports: [
                  {
                    name: 'Report 1',
                  }
                ]
              }
            },
            {
              name: 'Member 2',
              tasks: {
                reports: [
                  {
                    name: 'Report2',

                  }
                ]
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }

Is there alternate ways to implement the above?

Clooney's long experience as a band singer, her admiration for Ellington and his music, and the special sort of supercharged satin in her voice all qualified her to be the perfect choice to make this unusual album.
"Based upon the diversity of music, quality of product and their extraordinary rate of progress, Pure Pleasure Records is our re-issue record company of the year." - hi-fi+
Let the monomania continue! brought to CES one year and wowed crowds with the recording without identifying the chick singer.
Unfortunately, Rosemary Clooney's biggest hits were the novelties "Come-on a My House" and "Mambo Italiano," forced upon her by Mitch Miller. In fairness to Miller, is job was to make hits and that's what he did for Clooney and others at Columbia Records in the early 1950's and beyond.
So, between those hits and her appearance in "White Christmas," the boomer generation of radio and early TV viewers never thought of Clooney as a serious singer, yet that's what she was, as this sophisticated collaboration with Ellington demonstrates.
Her personal life was beset by problems including bipolar disorder, which led to an addiction to alcohol and pain killers. She married and divorced actor Jose Ferrer twice, during which time she managed to have five children and continue her career.
She witnessed her friend Robert F. Kennedy's assassination and suffered a manic breakdown followed by institutionalization and years of therapy. When she once again went public with her singing career, she'd gained an enormous amount of weight, but the magic in her voice survived the turmoil.
Late in life, her career was reborn onstage and on Concord Records. She died June, 29th 2002 in Beverly Hills at the age of 74 after a long battle with lung cancer.
Meanwhile this wonderful reissue can serve to reintroduce her supple, mellow, timeless voice to a new generation of fans.
Backed by Duke Ellington's orchestra, Clooney covers a set of Ellington compositions including "It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't Got That Swing)," "Sophisticated Lady," and "Mood Indigo" along with Billy Strayhorn's classic "Passion Flower."
What makes this set so addictive is the sublime jazz backdrop provided by prime Ellington (Hodges, Carney, Terry, Woodyard, et.al) and Clooney's forthright, intimate delivery. She was more a pop singer than a jazz singer, but she swung with ease, though she refrained from the vocal gymnastics used by jazzier singers to sell a song.
She didn't need the embellishments as her warm tonality, unerring control and intelligence shone through every line she delivered.
Producer Irving Townsend's liner notes set the scene: Ellington, Strayhorn and he sitting in the audience at New York's Café Society plotting an album with the veteran band singer covering Ellington tunes. Could there be a more perfect concept to exploit the new long playing medium?
The answer is no! As this 1956 mono release proves. The sonics are remarkable, with Rosie up-front reproduced with a three dimensionality, warmth and purity guaranteed to give you the willies, especially if you focus on the blond, beautiful Clooney pictured on the cover.
The Ellington-Strayhorn arrangements are sympathetic to the cause, while allowing the assembled background talent to shine where appropriate.
Like a steam locomotive driven train blowing through a small town station in the middle late night, this record captures sonic images impossible to produce today. When "Mood Indigo" finishes side two, you'll leave the stylus in the groove for a few minutes against your better judgment, as you continue to soak in the riches delivered by this album. Highest recommendation for a reissue that brilliantly captures all of what's on the original, only with much quieter backgrounds (at least compared to my copy).

The Restoration of the Art of Sound
180g Vinyl Mastered From The Best Available Sources
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records. During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle. We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production. To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.
There really is nothing quite like it. It's the touch, the feel, you have to stop and stare, the cover, the real thing, even the smell.
Its tangible, you can feel it, see it, study it, muse/dream over it, it's real, someone has spent hours and hours over its construction and presentation. Pure Pleasure Records is just that, Pure Pleasure and that is what it has set out to be.
The music and the physical record. Something to keep, treasure, admire and above all enjoy.Of course with vinyl it's not just a record, it's the cover, the sleeve notes, you are holding a unique package, produced by craftsmen.

NSA Spying Flap: Is "Scandal" Onto Something?
Updated November 14, 2013: See Joe Morton (pictured above), who plays "Scandal" character Rowan Pope, head of the all-powerful spy organization, B-613, today on NewsOne Now with Roland Martin.
News that the U.S. has been spying on foreign leaders has dominated headlines this week. Could it really be that President Obama didn't know about the surveillance? With hit shows like "Scandal" addressing such a scenario (B-613, anybody?), is pop culture imitating the U.S. government?
What do you think? Is art imitating reality? Listen to the full segment below, and judge for yourself.
Tune in to "NewsOne Now" weekdays at 10 am, ET.


Oh Lyn, you are so lucky to have these diaries. Even though they may not cover events of world significance, the reflection of the lives captured within them, and the events considered important to your grandfather, are priceless. Just wonderful.
Like you, I love the capital 'D'. In a world where in my experience of rural rellies, the men's zone was outside and the women's zone was inside, it's nice to see his acknowledgement of you. Albeit probably lower in his esteem than the shorn sheep numbers - after all that was what the farm depended on! Like you - a very practical person who's good at counting!! And that's a compliment!!
You have such a great eye - that photo tells such a story all by itself - I love the array of colours in those well worn covers.
When our children were babies I too kept diaries of the sort you describe - full of factual detail but mine are of baby milestones or minor illness, food intake, growth rates etc. They certainly document hard and routine work, the need for which was never questioned. I wonder whether my descendants might someday find it notable there is little or no mention of what the "menfolk" in my life were up to at the time!
Not a diary - but a collection (probably incomplete) of the letters written by my mother's youngest brother to his eldest sister (my aunt), a few written to my mother, and one or two written to their father.
Young Rex was writing from Salvo canteens in Goulburn and later 'bloody Darwin'. Then a few letters from "AIF overseas", one from the ship, and one or two from the destination, now known to be Ambon. Then -- silence.
Rex did not return. I typed copies of all the letters, and when I can bear to I will donate the originals to the War Memorial.
How wonderful to have those diaries - I think they would make interesting reading and what a keepsake for you.
How amazing to have the diaries! Thanks for sharing.


This occasionally happens when upgrading from a much older Citadel system that generated a key and self-signed certificate using older code. The key and certificate are kept in the keys/ subdirectory. If you have a self-signed certificate that you don't care about, you can simply delete all three files in that directory, and the newer Citadel code will generate a new private key and self-signed certificate.
Alternately, you can follow these instructions for generating a new key and cert using the OpenSSL command line tool.


And The Nominees Are? Better Be Lady Bird!
Tomorrow the Oscar nominations for the best films of 2017 will be announced. Some of the films expected to get nods are "The Post," "Call Me By Your Name." "Dunkirk," "Lady Bird," I, Tonya," Have you seen any of these films? I know, it's tough with kids, work, stuff. I am proud of myself for seeing two. I sort of liked Dunkirk. It was visually compelling, but seemed a tad disconnected. I am pulling for the film "Lady Bird".
The film is ferociously funny, super sweet, and just deliciously original. Plus, if you are a mom with a teenage daughter, like me, "Lady Bird" is a must! Here is a fun link for Academy Award predictions "the Nobody Knows Oscar Predictions. The ceremony will air on Sunday, March 4th.

The Lamat (Star) Trecena: Oct. 9-21, 2016
Posted by Marguerite Paquin in Trecena Horoscopes, World Events, World Festivals
Here it is again – a return of a ferocious weather situation that is strongly echoing what unfolded the last time this energy was in place. At that time (last January) states of emergency were declared along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard due to a "monster" blizzard called Jonas that affected 16 states. At that time hurricane force winds forced a travel ban that shut down the transit system, roads, bridges, tunnels and theatres in New York and Washington D.C. Thirty-three million people were under blizzard warnings, hundreds of thousands of people were left without power, more than 12,000 flights were cancelled, and thousands were stranded overnight on the I-75.
At the present time it is Hurricane Matthew that is creating havoc on the Eastern Seaboard, after hammering the Caribbean as well as parts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina over the past few days. But this seems to be what these particular energies like to whip up, as similar scenarios have played out on the last two appearances of these forces and many times before.

For some reason Lamat is often associated with hurricanes, whether it be the daysign Lamat or the Lamat trecena. As we begin this Lamat (Star) trecena we enter the second to the last of the trecenas in place during the seemingly endless battle for the U.S. presidency.
Round One of the presidential debate coincided with the first day of the last trecena. Round Two of the debate, which many will see as another form of hurricane, coincides with the first day of this current trecena. As throngs of high ranking Republicans are now calling for Trump's resignation, it remains to be seen if there will even be a third debate, but if there is, this will coincide with the decisive "knife-edged" 11th day of this important period that completes the current 260 day cycle.
And what a completion this is going to be, with that enormous hurricane now battering the Carolinas and much of the southeastern seaboard, with many parts of the Caribbean (particularly Haiti) in need of significant assistance as hundreds of thousands of people deal with the storm and its aftermath – all this happening with just over two weeks left before the world has to deal with the fallout from this very tense and bizarre political free-for-all in the U.S.
As a "signaller" kind of energy, Lamat is a significant attention-getter, often heralding change. The Lamat trecena opens with the Moon Goddess working in conjunction with the "divine" energy of Venus to usher in a time frame that generally calls for strong leadership in order to shed light on new possibilities. And as this gets underway Republicans in the U.S. are facing an unprecedented challenge as they struggle to deal with the management of a deeply perplexing situation that could even involve having to replace a presidential candidate just days before an election. At the same time the energies themselves seem to be saying "enough is enough", as they call for decisive action at the conclusion of this cycle.

One of the major patrons of this trecena was known to the Aztec as Xipe Tótec, the ancient Lord of Renewal and Liberation. The other was Xiuhtecuhtli, the Lord of Fire and Time – a deity connected with time related change, as in cycle endings. Both of these deities have stripes painted on their faces. Both of these entities are oriented around the idea of setting the stage for new beginnings. So it is amazing to see these energies in place at the time when U.S. voters will have the last opportunity (or the last two, depending . .. . ) to see face-offs between these two contenders.
The end of this trecena on Oct. 21st will bring us to 13 Ajaw ("transformational sun"), the conclusion of the 260 day cycle that began last February.
In the context of all of this we have the reminder that in many Mesoamerican cultures Lamat was also seen as a Rabbit that can signal "warnings", with the warning at this time being "let's get ready for the new cycle that will begin immediately after this Lamat trecena concludes". And with the election taking place just a few days into that new cycle we are being warned that change is about to happen. But at this point the only thing certain is that worldwide a great many people are highly concerned (make that "terrified") about it, no matter which way it goes.
Given that this is the final trecena in the current 260 day cycle, this is often a "game-changer" that can signal dramatic shifts in leadership, as in the inauguration of Pope Francis I in St. Peter's Square on One Lamat in 2013, and David Cameron's majority win in the U.K. elections in 2015, also on One Lamat. In 1918 it was One Lamat that saw the horrific assassination of Czar Nicholas and his family in Russia, and in 1953 this One Lamat energy coincided with the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Similarly many people who have been born under the influence of this trecena have become strong leaders or "stars" in various fields, such as Wilbur Wright, a pivotal aviation pioneer; Nelson Mandela, a significant anti-apartheid revolutionary; and the legendary musicians David Bowie and Prince.

Overall it seems that this is a time to really pay attention, as changes can happen quickly under the influences present during these 13 days. "Game-changing" events in the past that have coincided with this energy zone include the discovery of gold in California in 1848; the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, followed by the unconditional surrender of Japan at the end of World War II; the passage of the Civil Rights Act in the U.S. in 1957; the first major Greenpeace event, in 1975; the completion of the deconstruction of the Berlin Wall in 1990; the storming of Baghdad by U.S. forces in 2003; the approval of the sweeping Wall St. reform bill in the U.S. in 2010; the announcement by CERN scientists that they had found the long sought-after Higgs boson "God particle", in 2012; and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014.
And how can we forget the arrival of the Beatles in the U.S. to make their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 (seen as one of greatest rock and roll moments in T.V. history), also during this trecena.
In keeping with the "signalling" aspects of this trecena this has also been the energy zone in which two significant signals from deep space have been detected – the Wow! Signal detected on One Lamat in 1977, and detection last year of the signal spikes from HD164595, a 6.3 billion-year-old star in the constellation Hercules.

With the rampaging hurricane on the east coast, and the "rampaging" debates scheduled for this current time frame, this is going to be a nail-biting conclusion to this cycle that has run from Feb. through to October of this year. Here are the energies that are coming into being:
1 Lamat (Oct. 9th) – the "initiation of leadership", a heralding type of energy that can point to new directions, this time coinciding with the second presidential debate, at a time when increasing numbers of Republicans are "stampeding away" from their candidate, and Hurricane Matthew is terrorizing the Carolinas. This energy is also coinciding at this time with China's Double Ninth Festival, a "potentially dangerous" time. Click here to see traditional suggestions for protecting against danger on this day.
2 Muluk (Oct. 10th) – the "dynamic shape-shifting" energy of water, this in conjunction with a number of celebrations including Canada's Thanksgiving Day, World Mental Health Day, and a variety of approaches to the concept of Columbus Day or its antithesis.

Celebrated as Native American Day/ Indigenous Peoples' Day in some areas as a counter to Columbus Day (as in Denver, Albuquerque, Portland, and several others), many Latin American countries celebrate this day as the Dia de la Raza ["day of the race"], with some nations (such as Venezuela) celebrating it as the Dia de la Resistencia Indigena (Day of Indigenous Resistance) as a tribute to indigenous peoples' resistance to European infiltration. In Spain this day is celebrated as a Hispanic Day or National Day.
3 Ok (Oct. 11th) – a Burner Day representative of the "activation of fire" or (heart-fire), coinciding at this time with the U.N.'s International Day of the Girl. Nelson Mandela's Maya birthday. Six cycles since the announcement that CERN had discovered the Higgs-Boson particle.
4 Chuwen (Oct. 12th) – a "defining" day associated with play (and sometimes mischief); a "time- weaver" type of energy that can be quite eventful, as it was 98 cycles ago when it ushered David Jones (later known as David Bowie) into this realm, precisely one Calendar Round (ie. "New Fire") after the birth of Eva Jessye, the first black woman to receive international distinction for her work with musical theatre. On this day early voting takes place in Ohio.
5 Eb' (Oct. 13th) – the "blessing" of restorative vitality, this time coinciding with World Sight Day.

6 B'en (Oct. 14th) – representative of "personal authority everywhere", this time coinciding with the 950th anniversary of the historic Battle of Hastings in Britain, a pivotal moment in that country's history
7 Ix (Oct. 15th) – a "self generating transformation" type of energy, as was in place in 2013 at the time of South Africa's national memorial service for Nelson Mandela. Maya birth energy of former professional boxer and activist Muhammad Ali, one of the most celebrated sports figures of the 20th century who died in early June.
8 Men (Oct. 16th) – a "resurrection" type of energy associated with the high vision of the Eagle at the time of the Full Moon (The Hunter's Moon) and World Food Day. In 2006 this energy accompanied the formation of the huge North American Blizzard that dumped heavy snow on eastern coastal states through to Atlantic Canada. Two cycles ago this was the energy in place when a mysterious deep space signal was heard by SETI investigators.
9 Kib' (Oct. 17th) – an expansive, "restoration of order" type of energy, sometimes associated with making "adjustments", often with long term implications. Opening of the Habitat III summit in Quito – the U.N.'s Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (only the third such conference in 40 years)
10 Kab'an (Oct. 18th) – a foundational type of energy associated with the earth and evolutionary movement. Maya birth energy of the activist Latino poet Martin Espada.

11 Etz'nab' (Oct. 19th) – an "inspirational flint" type of force that can be quite dazzling and attention-getting, this time coinciding with the third and final presidential debate. In 1325 this energy was in place at the time of the founding of Tenochtitlan, the axis of the Aztec empire. In 1955 a young Elvis Presley gave his first professional performance under this influence in his hometown of Tupelo.
During the summer of 2012 Venus achieved her greatest brilliance under this influence in conjunction with an "extreme" X1.4 solar eruption. At the present time the planet Mars will see the landing of the ESA's Schiaparelli space module on its surface. This is also the day when two Chinese astronauts are scheduled to dock their Shenzhou-II spacecraft with the Tiangong 2 prototype space station, precisely 4 cycles after China successfully landed its Chang'e-3 lunar probe on the moon.
12 Kawak (Oct. 20th) – the "gathering storm" energy that can provide a final big PUSH toward enlightenment, this time coinciding with the Bioneers conference, and the day scheduled in many countries for The Great ShakeOut earthquake drill. Prince's Maya birth energy.
13 Ajaw (Oct. 21st) – "transformational Full Sun", a day often filled with high drama and great change – and sometimes even great light, at the conclusion of the Imix to Ajaw cycle, on the last day of the Habitat III summit. On this day the United Nations will officially appoint Wonder Woman (the comic book heroine) as an honorary ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls. Tzolk'in anniversary of the awarding of the contract for construction of the Space Shuttles Atlantis and Discovery in 1979; eight cycles exactly since the "moment of transition" in Egypt in 2011 when hundreds of thousands waited for the president to step down.
On the last appearance of this energy more than $13 billion was raised at the donors conference for Supporting Syria and the Region London 2016, co-hosted by the UK, Germany, Kuwait, Norway, and the UN and attended by representatives of 70 nations to address the needs of the millions of Syrians whose lives have been seriously affected by the civil war. The situation was referred to as the world's biggest humanitarian crisis, with the goal of this conference being to raise funds and agree on a plan for economic and educational projects to assist the refugees. The amount pledged on this day was the largest ever raised for a humanitarian cause.
Given the unthinkable, and still continuing, situation in Aleppo it would be phenomenal if world leaders could find some way to bring an end to the wretched war by this day, at the end of this cycle, so that the poor people in that beleaguered city can be liberated.

San Diego's 'Come Play Outside' Initiative Offers Family-Fun Across the City
The initiative will include a Teen Nite, movies in the park and other family-friendly programs
By City News Service	• Published July 1, 2021 • Updated on July 1, 2021 at 2:19 pm
Civic leaders and nonprofits on Thursday invited San Diego families to "Come Play Outside" this summer as part of San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria's "Summer for All of Us" initiative, intended to create opportunities for kids and their families to engage in fun, healthy recreation in historically underserved neighborhoods.
Anticipated to serve more than 15,000 kids this summer, Come Play Outside organizes and funds programs such as aquatics, an adventure camp, Teen Nite and movies in the park in 21 recreation centers and aquatic centers across San Diego's South and Central neighborhoods.
Mayor Gloria, County of San Diego Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher, the San Diego Parks Foundation and a host of partner organizations gathered today to announce the details of the program.
"As challenging as the pandemic was for adults, we know it was just as challenging for our kids," Gloria said. "That's why it's particularly important we step up to engage our youth as we emerge from the pandemic.

"Come Play Outside will help ease our kids back into everyday life and ensure they have opportunities to enjoy a fun, safe and connected summer in America's Finest City," he continued.
The county provided $750,000 in funding from its Behavioral Health Department to support Come Play Outside programming. Supporting Come Play Outside aligns with Fletcher's commitment to improve the lives of youth and families, especially after dealing with the uncertainties and isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It's well known the importance of children being active to maintain their overall health and well-being, both mentally and physically," Fletcher said. "We're so pleased to be able to come together and allocate funding alongside our partners and give the youth in our underserved communities a host of opportunities to thrive and learn this summer; ones that they might not have otherwise."

A Přerov man, living in Bratislava, Slovakia, since his university studies. As one of the first authors in the world he started devoting himself to optical art at the end of 1950s. Not only did his unmistakable optic kinetic and light kinetic objects awake interest in the then Czechoslovakia in the middle of 1960s but first and foremost abroad. In 1968 Milan Dobes exhibited a collection of his works at a world exhibition of modern art Documenta 4 in German Kassel. In his work he deals with optic collages and reliefs, creates optic kinetic objects (eg. a series of Pulsating Rhythms or Lighthouses), makes architectural reliefs, paints. In his graphic works he primarily uses the technique of serigraphy. He is globally recognized as a representative of op-art.

In graphic design he uses mainly the serigraphy technique. He is a world-renowned representative of op-art.
Op-art, sometimes also known as optical art, geometrical abstraction or perception abstraction, originated at the end of 1950s and beginning of 1960s. This term first appeared in an unsigned article in the Time magazine in October 1964. A grand exhibition followed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965, called The Responsive Eye, with William C. Seitz as its curator. At the time of the exhibition the term Op-art had already been commonly used and it had quickly found its way to the wider public, so the visitors arrived at the exhibition preview dressed in its spirit and the new style fast influenced fashion, interior design and graphic art. The main founders of Op-art who became the centre of media attention were Americans Richard Anuszkiewicz (1930) and Larry Poons (1937), Britons Michael Kidner (1917-2009) and Bridget Riley (1931) and a Frenchman of a Hungarian origin Victor Vasarely (1908-1997).


At Buderim Mountain State School we encourage students to participate in annual community events, and also invite children's families into the school to celebrate and participate in internal events. We believe having strong community ties and active family participation in children's schooling is vital to a positive school experience, and helps children become fulfilled and active citizens.
Book Week parade: Students from Prep to Year 2 dress up as a character from their favourite book as part of The Children's Book Council of Australia 'Book Week' celebrations. The event usually takes place in August and runs in conjunction with other activities promoting Australian authors and illustrators, and the importance of reading.
Easter Hat Parade: Every year students in Prep and Year 1 participate in the Easter hat parade. Parents and children work together to create an Easter hat or bonnet, which is worn by students during the show as part of our broader Easter celebrations.
Christmas Concert: A source of great excitement for our junior school students is the Christmas Concert. Featuring an array of musical performances, including many well-loved Christmas carols, it's an event not to be missed.
ANZAC Day: The Buderim community hosts an annual parade which proceeds from the top of Burnett Street and finishes at the Memorial Gates of our school, with an ANZAC service following in the memorial pine plantation. Students are invited to march in the parade, and children who participate in three ANZAC or Australia Day parades are awarded a Buderim Badge for Service.
Australia Day: The Buderim Australia Day Grand Parade follows the same route as the ANZAC Day parade, and once again finishes in our school grounds, but this time finishes with games and various activities held on our school oval.
