The present disclosure relates to clips used to support objects such as frames including picture frames and posters from walls or structure.
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
Clips which are inserted into picture or similar frames are known which provide a mount or engagement element that allows the clip to engage a frame such as a picture frame and to be supported by a structure such as a wall using a wire, hook, or similar device. Known clips allow for placement of the clip at varying locations along the frame, but frequently provide this function by biting into or yielding the material of the frame at a desired location. This damages the frame and makes continued adjustment of the clip location difficult.
In other known designs, the clip does not engage with the frame, but is merely positioned at a desirable location. The clip can subsequently slip from the desired location. This problem has been resolved by insertion of a fastener through the clip and frame, however, this solution introduces an additional part which can detrimentally affect the appearance of the frame, and also permanently damages the frame.
According to several embodiments of the present disclosure, a hanging clip system includes a clip having a head portion comprising first and second legs extending from the head portion. Each of the first and second legs includes an outwardly extending flange having a convexly curved upper surface and a flat surface facing away from the head portion. A gap between the first and second legs defines an angle created during a molding process so that the first and second legs can be elastically deflected toward each other to provide a biased condition of the legs. A frame member includes opposed inwardly curving arms which define a cavity adapted to receive the flanges of the clip and inner opposed walls which define a channel adapted to receive the legs.
According to further embodiments, a clip comprises a homogenous body created of a polymeric material. The clip includes a head portion having first and second legs extending from the head portion. Each of the first and second legs includes an outwardly extending flange having a convexly curved upper surface and a flat surface facing away from the head portion. A gap between the first and second legs defines an angle created during a molding process so that the first and second legs can be elastically deflected toward each other to provide a biased condition of the legs. A neck positioned between the head portion and the extending flanges defines a first junction with the head portion and a second junction with the extending flanges, with the neck defining a smooth curved surface.
According to still other embodiments, a hanging clip system has a clip comprising a head portion having first and second legs extending from the head portion. Each of the first and second legs includes an outwardly extending flange having a convexly curved upper surface and a flat surface facing away from the head portion. A gap between the first and second legs defines an angle created during a molding process so that the first and second legs can be elastically deflected toward each other to provide a biased condition of the legs. A frame member includes opposed inwardly curving arms which define a cavity adapted to receive the flanges of the clip. Inner opposed walls which define a channel are adapted to receive the legs.
According to other embodiments, a method for releasably coupling a clip to a frame member is provided.
Further areas of applicability will become apparent from the description provided herein. It should be understood that the description and specific examples are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses. It should be understood that throughout the drawings, corresponding reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts and features.
Referring to FIG. 1, a hanging clip 10 is created as a homogenous molded plastic body which includes a semispherical-shaped head portion 12 having first and second legs 14, 16 extending from the head portion 12. Each of the first and second legs 14, 16 has an extending flange 18, 20 with a convexly curved upper surface 22, 24, and a flat surface 26, 28 facing away from head portion 12. A through-aperture or eyelet 30 is created in portion 12. A gap 32 between first and second legs 14, 16 defines an angle α. According to several embodiments angle α is approximately 8 degrees, however other angles both greater and less than 8 degrees can be used within the scope of the present disclosure. Angle α is created during the molding process so that the first and second legs 14, 16 can be elastically deflected to provide a biased condition when the first and second legs 14, 16 are moved toward each other during installation. Head portion 12 is not limited to a semi-spherical shape and can be provided in other geometric shapes at the discretion of the manufacturer.
Referring to FIGS. 2-4, a neck 34 is provided between portion 12 and the flanges 18, 20 defining a junction 36 with portion 12 and a junction 38 with flanges 18, 20. According to several embodiments, neck 34 can be a smooth, circular or curved surface. According to several embodiments, clip 10 has a total height "A" of approximately 0.74 in (1.88 cm), a length "B" of neck 34 is approximately 0.03 in (0.08 cm), and the flat surfaces 26, 28 are spaced at a distance "C" of approximately 0.16 in (0.41 cm) from an end 38 of neck 34. Clip 10 can also have a total width "D" of approximately 0.24 in (0.61 cm) and aperture 30 of portion 12 can have a through diameter "E" which can nominally be 0.19 in (0.48 cm), but which can vary depending on the wire or hook size which will be received by aperture 30. As best seen in FIG. 4, flanges 18, 20 can extend beyond a perimeter of portion 12.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 5-6, clip 10 is adapted to be received in an extruded frame member 40, made for example from a metal such as aluminum or steel, or from a polymeric material. Frame member 40 includes opposed inwardly curving arms 42, 44 which define a cavity 46 adapted to receive flanges 18, 20 of clip 10. Inner opposed walls 48, 50 define a channel 52 adapted to receive legs 14, 16. Channel 52 is closed at one end by a wall 54 having a V-shaped notch 56. According to several embodiments, frame member 40 has a total height "F" of approximately 1.0 in (2.54 cm), a total width "G" of approximately 0.61 in (1.55 cm), an opening width "H" between arms 42, 44 of approximately 0.25 in (0.63 cm), a wall locating dimension "J" of approximately 0.35 in (0.89 cm), and a wall-to-wall spacing "K" of approximately 0.2 in (0.51 cm). A width "L" and a depth "M" of notch 56 can be approximately 0.02 and 0.01 in (0.05 and 0.02 cm) respectively. According to several embodiments, notch 56 defines an angle β of approximately 90 degrees. As further shown in FIG. 6, a wall thickness "N" can be universally provided for wall members of frame member 40. The above noted dimensions are not limiting to the disclosure and can be varied at the discretion of the manufacturer.
Referring more specifically to FIG. 5, frame members 40 define mirror image halves rotated about a vertical centerline 53 and also rotated about a horizontal centerline 55. This geometry provides equal and opposed cavities 46, 46′ and opposed channels 52, 52′, such that clips 10 can be received in either or both cavities 46, 46′ and channels 52, 52′.
Referring to FIG. 7, clip 10 can be installed by slidably inserting first and second legs 14, 16 into frame member 40 with first and second legs 14, 16 positioned parallel to channel 52 and with flanges 18, 20 also parallel to channel 52 and therefore not in substantial contact with the inner walls of cavity 46. Clip 10 can then be longitudinally, slidably moved to a desired position along channel 52. When clip 10 is inserted, portion 12 extends freely away from frame member 40. One or more clips 10 can individually be positioned at any longitudinal position within cavities 46, 46′ and channels 52, 52′.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 5, and 8, when the desired position of clip 10 is reached, clip 10 is rotated approximately 90 degrees, for example by manually grasping and rotating portion 12. Clip 10 is rotated until the convexly curved upper surfaces 22, 24 of flanges 18, 20 contact the inward facing walls of arms 42, 44 within cavity 46. Contact between flanges 18, 20 and the inward facing walls of arms 42, 44 can also promote a downward displacement (as viewed in FIG. 8) of clip 10 until surfaces 26, 28 frictionally contact cavity 46 facing surfaces of outwardly directed portions 48a, 50a of opposed walls 48, 50. Frictional contact can also occur between first and second legs 14, 16 and walls 48, 50 by elastic deflection of first and second legs 14, 16.
As angle a decreases, the biasing force created increases a frictional engagement of first and second legs 14, 16 to further assist retention of clip 10. The neck 34 separating semispherical portion 12 from first and second legs 14, 16 provides a rotational sliding contact surface with the free ends of arms 42, 44 to promote rotation of clip 10 during installation. Because contact of the free ends of arms 42, 44 with neck 34 also provides support for clips 10, neck 34 further promotes frictional engagement of clips 10 with frame members 40. First and second legs 14, 16 can include smooth, rounded outward facing surfaces to reduce rotational friction between the first and second legs 14, 16 and the opposed walls 48, 50 when the first and second legs 14, 16 rotate. A curvature of each of the arms 42, 44 can be the same as a curvature of the convexly curved upper surfaces 22, 24. A curvature of each of the arms 42, 44 can also be varied at the discretion of the manufacturer from a curvature of convexly curved upper surfaces 22, 24. This difference in curvature permits frictional contact between extending flanges 18, 20 and arms 42, 44 to be increased or changed by increasing a surface area of convexly curved upper surfaces 22, 24 in contact with arms 42, 44 as the clip 10 is rotated from an installed to an engaged position.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 9, two or more frame members such as vertical member 40 and a horizontal member 40′ can be connected using one or more joining members 58 to create a frame 60. With semispherical portion 12 extending as shown to the right in FIG. 9, a hook member or loop of wire 62 can be inserted through the eyelet 30 in one, or individually in a plurality of clips 10 to hang frame 60 to a wall or support surface (not shown). As further shown in FIG. 9, one or more clips 10′ can be similarly received and frictionally retained by horizontal frame member 40′, which allows clip(s) 10′ to be vertically oriented to support frame 60.
It is further noted that the geometry of semispherical portion 12 is provided for example only. Portion 12 can also have other geometric shapes, including but not limited to rectangular, triangular, polygonal, and the like within the scope of the present disclosure. According to several embodiments, material for clip 10 can be a polymeric material such as a polyamide material. The polymeric material selected can be molded such as by injection molding into the shape shown in FIG. 1. Clip 10 although described in several embodiments as a molded polymeric part can in further embodiments be made from polymeric coated metal or a polymeric material impregnated with a metal, formed such as by powder forming, potting, or casting, or from a combination of polymeric materials which are co-molded to form a homogenous clip 10. The material and forming method for clips 10 do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.
Clips 10 of the present disclosure offer several advantages. The opposed flanges 18, 20 which are separated by gap 32 have convexly curved surfaces 22, 24 which promote frictional engagement with the inner walls of similarly curved arms 42, 44 of frame member 40 when flanges 18, 20 are rotated following a sliding insertion of clip 10. To further assist the frictional contact of clips 10, contact of convexly curved surfaces 22, 24 with inner walls of arms 42, 44 also can promote contact of surfaces 26, 28 with cavity 46 facing surfaces of outwardly directed portions 48a, 50a of opposed walls 48, 50. Angle α created between first and second legs 14, 16 promotes an elastic biasing force when first and second legs 14, 16 are pressed toward each other during insertion of clip 10 into frame member 40. The biasing force also helps retain clips 10 within frame member 40. The neck 34 separating semispherical portion 12 from first and second legs 14, 16 provides a rotational sliding contact surface with the free ends of arms 42, 44 to promote rotation of clip 10 during installation. Because clips 10 are rotated to frictionally engage frame members 40, clips 10 are also releasable by rotation to the original orientation, which allows clips 10 to be moved to alternate locations, or removed entirely from frame members 40.

The Difficult Language of DIY
By Linda Besner
Studies Show
Linda Besner
Hazlitt regular contributor Linda Besner's poetry and non-fiction have appeared...
Alone in a Different Reality
What's the Point of Arguing?
The Bright Side of Individualism
I've been riding the same bike since I was 14. It's a blue Raleigh that my friend named "Pauline," and I feel about her the way you would about a trusty horse. However, horse-owners aren't usually encouraged to take Midnight or Destiny's Child or Chloe to the DIY veterinarian's and rummage around in their steed's intestines to see how it's done.
DIY bike repair shops scare me, which I feel guilty about because I have good friends who work in them. I'm just zero percent handy; I feel stupid even walking into regular bike shops where all I have to do is wheel Pauline over to the counter. They're always trying to show me or explain to me what's wrong with her, and when they point to areas and say the names of bike parts I have to nod intelligently and pretend I have any idea what the hell is going on.
A new study in the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, conducted by Lynnette Arnold of the University of California, Santa Barbara, examines how language—both the out-loud kind and body language—worked to partly undermine the egalitarian goals of a bike shop in California.
Arnold calls the bike shop where she conducted her fieldwork Bica Lo-Teca. A bilingual (Spanish-English) shop, Bica Lo-Teca is "dedicated to self empowerment and building community through the bicycle," as one of its founders told Arnold. They offer cycling classes for both kids and adults, and bicycle valet parking, but the activity Arnold studied was their Open Shop program, a time and space for anyone to come in and use the shop's tools and parts to repair their own bike with the help of volunteer mechanics.
Here's an example of the kind of explanation that Arnold observed bike shop volunteers giving to first-time visitors:
Nate: Usted tiene que hacer el trabajo. Yo no hago el trabajo. No mas explicándote, como se hace, Pero usted hace el trabajo, Nosotros no.
(You have to do the work. I don't do the work. Just explaining to you, how it is done, But you do the work, Not us.)
Spanish isn't Nate's first language, so his formulation may be more direct than it would be in English. But even though all he's doing is explaining how DIY works—you do have to do it yourself—it's a little intimidating. As Arnold writes, "Nate's explicit formulation of Bica's ideology functions as an imposition that tells the shop user what he 'has' to do … [and] demonstrates the power differentials at the base of Bica's do-it-yourself ideology." Even the phrase "Do it yourself!" can sound a little scary in the wrong tone of voice.
Arnold observes that volunteers and customers struggled to find an equilibrium between the egalitarian we're-all-in-this-together ethos of the shop and a discourse that "authorized asymmetrical relationships between participants"—i.e., put some in the role of teachers and some in the role of pupils. She gives the example of another conversation she observed that more successfully navigates this divide by using "we" instead of "I" and "you." Toro is a volunteer, and Alana is a customer, and the two of them are looking at a bike that's up on a stand ready to be worked on.
TORO: But is this one like taller or
ALANA: It's taller. I can't—are we going to work on it, up … here?
TORO: No. We can pull it down.
ALANA: Okay. Cause, that's a little tall.
TORO: Yeah. There we go.
As they talk, Toro releases the clamp holding the bike while Alana grasps the centre of the frame and they lower it to the floor together. Arnold notes that Alana conveys her discomfort with the workstation's setup by turning her "I" statement into a "we" question—"are we going to work on it up here?" Toro responds the same way, and their physical actions confirm that they are functioning as a team.
A problem that the board and volunteers of Bica Lo-Teca regularly bemoaned was the relatively low participation of native Spanish-speakers as compared to English-speakers. Arnold notes that in this area of California, Spanish-speakers tend to be low-income and to work in construction or other jobs involving heavy manual labour. They come to Bica Lo-Teca because it is the cheapest place for bike repairs, but at the end of the work day they are exhausted and not necessarily ready to absorb new information about bike mechanics. Also, because few of the volunteers are truly fluent in Spanish, it's tough to explain to these customers what to do. A volunteer named Hector noted, "If you're trying to explain to them how to fix it themselves, you can't. You'd have to just do it for them."
It's actually pretty difficult to teach people physical skills in words, as you can attest if you've ever tried to put together an Ikea couch, or asked your mom to explain to you over the phone how to tell whether the turkey is done. But if you don't get to hold the hammer or the baster yourself, watching someone else do it also doesn't get you very far. The difficulty of finding the right language for DIY reflects the difficulty in establishing non-hierarchical ways around the problem that some people really do know more about bikes than others.

Does "Star Trek" make it look too easy?
April 27, 2012 in Hieroglyph, Resources
Andre Bormanis, writing in The Space Review, asks, "Does "Star Trek" make it look too easy?"
https://www.thespacereview.com/article/2069/1
"In an interview with a reporter from the Associated Press, Scott Pace, the current director of the Space Policy Institute at The George Washington University and a former NASA associate administrator, was asked to comment on the April 12th failure of the North Korean rocket launch. He noted that sending a vehicle into space is still a significant technical challenge, and added, "In many ways, the worst enemy of NASA is Star Trek Captain Picard says 'engage' and the ship moves. And people think 'How hard can this be?' …"

Hmm, in the most recent movie, the command "Engage" results in a sputter, sputter, oops! (For what I believe to be the very reason you've mentioned, lol)
I might rephrase the question to: Unless they're in the process of actually trying to do it themselves, do people underestimate how difficult things are?
To which I would reply with a resounding YES! Folks tend to think that whatever someone else can do, they could manage even easier, and they're almost invariably wrong when they do. If you ever want an excellent example of this in action, go to a snow park, and watch the kids wipe out, trying 10th level tricks with 1st level skills! Do they EVER start with something simple? No! They try the most complicated stuff first, and wipe out! Why?
Because they'd be embarrassed, to even be seen, doing a 1st level trick! But since even the pro's wipe out on the tough stuff, well, that's NOT embarrassing, just painful, lol!

The Wildenberg family was a cadet branch of the Greifenstein family of Filisur.  In addition to the Wildenberg Castle in Falera, they owned castles and estates throughout the valleys of Graubünden.  Wildenberg Castle in Zernez was first mentioned as the home of the family in 1280/90.  In 1296 the Bishop of Chur took the right to collect tithes from Wildenberg and pledged it to the Lords of Planta.  It is unclear if the castle went with the tithes, but by the 14th century Wildenberg was owned by the bishop and held by the Planta family.  In 1365 representatives from the communities around Chur met for the first time at the castle under the auspices of the Planta family.  The representatives met because they were concerned about the growing power of Tyrol and the bishop's debts.  Two years after the meeting at Wildenberg and building off the 1365 agreements, they founded the League of God's House to curtail the bishop's power.

By around 1400 the branch of the Planta family at Wildenberg was using the name von Wildenberg or Planta-Wildenberg and held the castle as a permanent fief.  They became very wealthy with lands and rights from the bishop as well as the mining concession in the Lower Engadine from Emperor Henry VII.  While the Planta-Wildenberg family often loaned money to the bishop, their relationship was not always good.  In 1430 Conradin von Planta-Wildenberg wrote and demanded the abdication of Bishop Johann von Chur, who in turn excommunicated Conradin.  Late in the 15th century the Planta-Wildenberg family supported the bishop against the emperor.  In 1498 Hans von Planta-Wildenberg signed a treaty between the League of God's House and the Swiss Confederation which sought to limit the power of the emperor.  According to tradition, during the Swabian War of 1499 Hans von Planta-Wildenberg killed an imperial knight at the Battle of Calven.

In 1570 the chronicler Ulrich Campell described Wildenberg as a medieval castle with a central tower and three residential wings.  The owner of the castle, Balthasar von Planta-Wildenberg had been married six times and had numerous children who helped increase the wealth and power of the family.

In 1616 Rudolf von Planta-Wildenberg switched from supporting the bishop against the Habsburgs to join the pro-Habsburg party.  This infuriated the local villagers and minor nobility.  In 1618 when Rudolf received Archduke Leopold of Austria at Wildenberg, the people revolted, attacked and besieged the castle.  During the siege, Rudolf and his family escaped but the castle was taken and burned.  Four years later, during an Austrian offensive Rudolf was finally able to return to Wildenberg.  He rebuilt the damaged castle beginning in 1622.  After Rudolf's death in 1638, the castle passed to the a cadet line of the Planta family, the Planta-Aredz.  In 1649-50 the castle was again expanded.

The castle continued to be held by the Planta family for several more centuries.  In the 18th century, the castle was once again expanded.  In 1856 it was sold to the Bezzola family.  Then, in 1956, the municipality of Zernez acquired Wildenberg and moved the municipal administration into the building.  It was repaired and restored in 1989–94.

Castle site
The castle is an "L" shaped building with the central tower in the center.  Stone walls enclose gardens on the inside of the "L" (to the north-west) and on the south side of the castle.  The courtyard is also enclosed with walls and is on the east and north-east side of the castle.  The gate into the courtyard garden features the combined coats of arms of Hartmann and Flandrina von Planta from 1650.  The medieval tower was topped with a spire in the 18th century.  Above the external stairs from 1760 are the coats of arms of Johann von Planta and his wife Maria Jecklin  The two wings are connected by a large staircase with a richly stuccoed and painted ceiling in a classical style from the 17th century.

Donors Rally to Support Local Nonprofits on Fairfield County's Giving Day
Fairfield County's Giving Day Spotlights Community's Generosity, Raising $2.2 Million for More than 400 Nonprofits
NORWALK, CT. (Feb. 25, 2022) – Fairfield County's Giving Day provided a timely fundraising boost for more than 400 local nonprofits, raising $2.2 million during the 24-hour online giving event.
Nearly 12,800 donors rallied to make 17,348 gifts on February 24. The annual event has now raised a total of $13.75 million since 2014.
"In a year when local nonprofits have seen an unprecedented increase in needs due to the ongoing pandemic, Fairfield County residents have come together to raise critical money for these organizations and the people they support," Fairfield County's Community Foundation President and CEO Juanita James said. "Once again, Giving Day has shown the immense depth and breadth of generosity, kindness, and compassion that permeates our entire community."
Fairfield County's Giving Day was also backed by the local business community, including the generous support by its Champion Sponsor Bank of America.
"Each year, Bank of America witnesses the great power of generosity coming from the people of Fairfield County who donate on Giving Day," said Bill Tommins, President, Bank of America Southern Connecticut. "Our support of Giving Day has continuously demonstrated that when businesses and community members come together in support of a common cause, the positive impact amplifies and uplifts our nonprofits and our communities."
Participating nonprofits included both returning and new local organizations, spanning a variety of causes and needs — from food insecurity and housing to arts and animal welfare.
Utilizing the sponsorship funds received, The Community Foundation was able to spread its generosity even further by awarding more than $100,000 through dozens of bonus prizes to participating organizations:
• Nonprofit Grand Prize: Most Unique Donors (first place): LifeBridge Community Services
• Nonprofit Grand Prize: Most Unique Donors (second place): WestConn Athletics & Recreation

• Rookie of the Year (awarded to the first-time Giving Day participant with the most unique donors): The Mary and Eliza Freeman Center for History and Community
Additional prizes were also awarded to participating nonprofits and can be viewed here.
"Giving Day is the moment of impact for our local community to seize," said James. "As the nonprofit community continues to face the ever-evolving challenges during an unprecedented time, the donors of Fairfield County – individuals, families, and businesses – came together to uplift and support these organizations. This is the true essence of Giving Day."
Fairfield County's Giving Day would not have been possible without the generous sponsorship support from the local business community: Champion Sponsor Bank of America; County Sponsor Hearst Connecticut Media Group; Premiere Regional Magazine Sponsor Moffly Media; Neighborhood Sponsors The Jeniam Foundation, Optimum, and the Back to You Fund at FCCF; Power Hour Sponsors KeyBank, TargetonStar, Fairfield County's Center for Housing Opportunity, the Fund for Women & Girls at FCCF, and the Immigrant Success Fund at FCCF; Town Square Sponsors Webster Private Bank and Band Central; and Media Sponsors 95.9 The Fox, Star 99.9, WEBE108, WICC, and The Two Oh Three.

Facing Challenges | August County Update
Atascadero Chamber2020-08-19T03:57:22+00:00August 19, 2020|Community, Doing Business, Living in Atascadero|
By: 5th District Supervisor, Debbie Arnold
As we approach the fall months, we find ourselves still faced with the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 virus. It has been months since the original and sudden mandatory shelter at home order. Businesses that were deemed essential were less affected and continued to do business. Those businesses that were ordered to close were much more affected, and after months we have seen many businesses close permanently. Other businesses remain in a holding pattern or have been able to modify their operations enough to continue. The difficult part for many businesses is the uncertainty of not knowing what the future holds.
The proclamation of emergency remains in place at the county level, however, most decisions related to COVID-19 are made by the Governor. Our hospitalization numbers for COVID-19 patients remains manageable. Of the 18 total deaths, 13 were 85 years old or older, 3 were 65 years or older, and all were over 50 and had underlying medical conditions.
San Luis Obispo County is following the State's Resilience Roadmap for reopening businesses and schools and we are currently in stage 2. The Governor also has a list of six criteria that determine which businesses the counties are allowed to keep open. San Luis Obispo County was placed on the County Monitoring list by the State on July 16th based on the number of cases per population, which is one of the six criteria. That resulted in some businesses that had been allowed to reopen having to either close again or modify to operate outdoors only.
As your County Supervisor, I have been in contact with many constituents who have questions or need resources. The Board of Supervisors is still meeting to take care of the business of permitting projects, approving contracts for county services, addressing budget issues, and performing other duties of the Board. Most of the decisions that are made regarding COVID-19 fall under the authority of Dr. Penny Borenstein, the County's Public Health Officer. The County continues to provide up to date information on the Readyslo.org website. Information specific to businesses or schools can be found at sloemergency.org.
This time of year is usually bustling with children of all ages preparing to go back to school. This year the Atascadero Unified School District is starting the school year with distance learning, which will result in less activity downtown. I get a lot of questions about when children in this county will be allowed to go back to school.
The State allows local health officers to grant a waiver to allow elementary schools to reopen in-person instruction under certain conditions. Information on which schools are open for in-person learning or when schools can expect to resume in-person learning can also be found at emergencyslo.org.
Fire season is well underway, and we have seen several fires in the North County.
My thanks to all the firefighting agencies who are working hard to keep the County safe.
I urge everyone to support the local businesses and non-profits who are struggling to comply with COVID-19 mandates while continuing to provide a service. Please do not hesitate to call my office if you need information or assistance.
It is an honor to represent the 5th District,
-Debbie Arnold

Govt Agrees to Auction New Petroleum Exploration Blocks
Posted 2 years ago by Aitzaz Hassan
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has directed to hold fresh bidding proposals for the auction of petroleum exploration blocks.
The previous government of Pakistan People's Party halted the bidding process when their tenure ended in 2013.
Criticism and Losses
The current government was heavily criticized by the other provinces for not re-initializing the bidding process for discovering new petroleum resources in their vicinity.
Provincial governments say that they have lost a significant amount of money due to the government's delay in starting the auction process during the past four years.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa representatives say that due to low petroleum production, the province lost Rs. 5.8 billion in a year. Furthermore, the federal government lost around Rs. 20 billion in royalty fees.
The federal government said that it was focusing on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LNG) import to reduce the gas shortage in the country.
Now the government has decided to restart the next phase of auction process for petroleum exploration blocks. It will be inviting bids from exploration companies to invest in the petroleum sector.

The Petroleum division has been ordered by PM to start the bidding process for equipment, after getting clearance from the Defense Division. According to 2014 auction, 50 blocks were cleared for bidding.
The results of bidding in 2014 were:
Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) won rights for 29 blocks.
Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) got 10 blocks.
Mari Petroleum won rights for one block.
OMV Pakistan won rights for one block.
Oil and Gas Investment Limited won rights for two petroleum exploration blocks.
Most of the rights were won by state owned companies, which showed the lack of interest from foreign companies.
Only two new companies entered the petroleum arena. Among them were Tallahassee Resources – a Canadian company – and Al-Haj Enterprises – a Pakistani company.
Province-wise Distribution
The distribution of 50 petroleum exploration blocks in the provinces are as follows:
Balochistan: 21 blocks—14 to OGDCL and 4 to PPL
Punjab: 15 blocks
KPK: 8 blocks
Sindh: 6 blocks
The decision of the government comes after heavy criticism. Current government has been criticized heavily for ignoring the country's rich oil and gas resources and focusing on imports instead.
However, it is hoped that the bidding process for petroleum exploration blocks paves the way for companies to find new fuel resources for energy-strapped Pakistan.

Do you know `looking for alaska`?
we all know this girl who seems to be perfect - who seems to live the perfect life. But what`s perfect?
we all imagined these words - come on...it`s normal! But it is definitely not true. Please, do you really think a person can be like this? Can have all these things? Can have NO mistakes?
That`s the worst imagination we can have! Even if there`s a girl who seems to be exactly like the listed things...She always has got another thing which doesn`t fit in. Which she tries to hide. She pretends to live in perfection but inside she has got many unsolved problems. But she can`t show them because everybody thinks she is perfect.
So don`t be scared of "perfect" girls. Maybe they just pretend to be perfect or they just want to be perfect - but they never ARE perfect!
And just do me one favor: Don`t let them change you! Everybody`s perfect in his own way. You are somebody`s definition of perfection.
I`m definitely the most lucky person on earth right now!! Guess why..?
Did you buy all the presents already?

Who Is Claudia Sheinbaum? A Physicist Likely To Become Mexico's First Woman President
Mexico may be on its way to electing its first women President in the 2024 elections, with Mexico City mayor Claudia Sheinbaum being the most likely candidate for the same. Longstanding ally of current President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Sheinbaum emerges as a front-runner to be the party's presidential candidate in 2024, as per reports.
60-year-old Claudia Sheinbaum, who currently serves as the Mayor of Mexico City, is a renowned scientist and environmentalist. If the current political scenario favours her, she is likely to become the first female president of the country in the next elections. Mexican law does not permit a President to run for re-election.
Suggested reading: Giorgia Meloni's Victory Creates History, But What Does It Mean For Women?
Who Is Claudia Sheinbaum?
Sheinbaum is a member of President Obrador's National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) party, which stands tall with an extensive lead in the polls. If this continues, Sheinbaum is likely to spearhead the party as its presidential candidate, paving way for the country to elect its first woman leader. While President Obrador has batted in public that he has no favourite candidate, reports and close aids to the President revealed that he would, without a doubt, want Sheinbaum to lead the country after him. President Obrador's mission to bring social change within the fabric of his country would go a considerable step further if he and the country can elect the first women president coming 2024, which could be both historic and inspirational.
Born in 1962 to a Biologist mother and a chemical engineer father, Sheinbaum currently serves as the head of the government of Mexico City. She is a physicist, scientist and environmentalist. She is a PhD holder in energy engineering and physics.
She has authored over a hundred articles on the topic of energy, sustainable development and the environment. She completed her thesis at the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory in California. In her research, she analysed the use of energy in Mexico's transportation and published several studies on the then ongoing trends of energy use by Mexican buildings.
Given her background, she functioned as the Secretary of the Environment of the City from 2000 to 2006. She also served as the Mayor of Tlalpan from 2015 to 2017. In 2018, she was listed as one of BBC's 100 inspirational women.

Sheinbaum had significantly contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The panel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the year 2007.
Pitching her candidacy, Sheinbaum looks to bring change
Sheinbaum was the second woman to hold the office of Mayor after she was elected as part of the Juntos Haremos Historia coalition in 2018. She holds a record successful outcome of making the city safe for women and assisting families by offering free daycare for children. Sheinbaum, who believes she is the torch bearer of the current President's ideologies, has also expressed that her work goes further than the party and her vision to work towards green technology can be a huge shift in Mexico's development.

Denis Berisha (* 17. Mai 1996 in Amstetten) ist ein österreichischer Fußballspieler.

Karriere
Berisha begann seine Karriere beim SKU Amstetten. 2010 kam er in die Jugend des FC Waidhofen/Ybbs. Zur Saison 2013/14 kehrte er zu Amstetten zurück. In seinen ersten beiden Saisonen stand er zwar zwei Mal im Kader der Regionalligamannschaft, kam er allerdings zu keinen Einsätzen.

Im Juli 2015 debütierte er schließlich in der Regionalliga, als er am ersten Spieltag der Saison 2015/16 gegen den ASK Ebreichsdorf in der 72. Minute für Matthias Wurm eingewechselt wurde. Seinen ersten Treffer in der Regionalliga erzielte er im selben Monat bei einem 3:1-Sieg gegen den SC Neusiedl am See.

Mit Amstetten stieg er 2018 in die 2. Liga auf. In der Aufstiegssaison 2017/18 kam er zu 25 Einsätzen in der Regionalliga, in denen er vier Tore erzielte. Sein Debüt in der zweithöchsten Spielklasse gab Berisha im Juli 2018, als er am ersten Spieltag der Saison 2018/19 gegen den Floridsdorfer AC in der 76. Minute für Marjan Markić eingewechselt wurde.

Im Jänner 2019 wechselte er leihweise zum viertklassigen ASKÖ Oedt und kam bis zum Saisonende in elf Meisterschaftsspielen zum Einsatz, wobei ihm zehn Tore gelangen. Mit Oedt startete er daraufhin auch in die Spielzeit 2019/20, brachte es jedoch verletzungsbedingt bis zur Winterpause auf lediglich drei Einsätze in der OÖ Liga, sowie zu einem Auftritt in der zweiten Mannschaft mit Spielbetrieb in der sechstklassigen Bezirksliga Ost. Im Jänner erfolgte ein leihweiser Wechsel zum WSC Hertha Wels, bei dem er aufgrund des COVID-19-bedingten Abbruchs des Spielbetriebes nur in einer Regionalligapartie eingesetzt wurde, in dieser aber auch einen Treffer beisteuerte.

Im Sommer 2020 schloss er sich dem damaligen Fünftligisten Union Dietach an, bei dem neben Berisha auch noch einige andere einstige Profispieler untergekommen waren. Im Laufe der Jahre entwickelte er sich hier zu einem torgefährlichen Offensivakteur und konnte 2020/21 auf acht Tore bei zwölf Einsätzen, sowie 2021/22 auf 14 Treffer bei 23 Spielen zurückblicken. In letztgenannter Spielzeit schaffte er mit dem Team als Meister der Landesliga Ost den Aufstieg in die viertklassige OÖ Liga und war zudem mit seinen 14 Torerfolgen hinter Yusuf Efendioğlu (15 Tore) der zweiterfolgreichste Torschütze der Union Dietach in dieser Saison. 2022/23 tritt er ebenfalls noch für die Dietacher in der Offensive in Erscheinung und brachte es bis zur Winterpause auf 20 Treffer bei 15 Ligaeinsätzen.

Can You Reuse Fake Eyelashes?
Fake eyelashes add drama to the makeup look by enhancing the facial features.
Several fake lash lovers dispose their false lashes at the day's end thinking that they are for single use only.
And one of the most googled questions is can you reuse fake lashes?
In fact, false eyelashes are actually made for several wears and can be reused many times.
All it takes to take proper care of and reuse your false eyelashes could be a few moments, and a few common products you most likely have already got at home.
Yes, you can absolutely reuse your fake eyelashes as several times as you want with proper maintenance. Reusing fake lashes is pretty cost saving.
HOW LONG CAN YOU REUSE YOUR FAKE EYELASHES?
The main question is: what number of times can you reuse your fake lashes with maintenance while still keeping your eyes protected?
Cleaning and storing your fake lashes properly can extend their durability and longevity from 1-2 to 3-4 uses (depending on how you handle and care for the lashes).
Regular lashes can be used for an average of 4-5 times, whereas mink eyelashes last longer and may be used many times with proper care.
Fake lashes with thicker bands additionally tend to last longer than those with thinner bands and might be used many more times.
However, it is recommended that you change to a new pair of fake lashes at least every week.
Trying to stretch out the life of the fake lashes is not advised.
There is only so much that cleaning your false eyelashes can do after multiple wears. At the very least, make sure every week.
HOW YOU CAN MAINTAIN AND REUSE YOUR MINK EYELASHES.
The following steps will ensure a successful way that you can reuse your false eyelashes.
Start by getting your hands clean before getting them to the eyes. Wash your hands with soap and rinse. Bear in mind that the eyes are sensitive, therefore, do not allow detergent to get in your eye... it is not fun.
You should start by removing the false lashes gently, begin from the outer corner. Pull evenly and slowly on the false lash until you pull the entire strip away from your skin. Do it on the other eye. Do not pull the individual lashes as this might pull out individual lashes and damage the shape of your fake lashes.
Do not apply any makeup or use mascara directly on the fake lashes or because this can make the false eyelashes pretty challenging to clean as well as reduces its lifespan.
Clean your fake eyelashes often to ensure the safety of your eyes from bacteria as well as to maintain the condition of your false lashes.
To clean your false lashes, Get your cotton ball and soak in coconut oil or an eye makeup remover and swipe it through the full length of your false lashes to get rid of any eyeliner or mascara residue. Delicately rub each side of your eyelashes and also along its adhesive strip.
Flip the lash over and repeat the above process.
Use your tweezers to remove excess glue that is remaining on your fake lash strip. Hold the hairs of the lash and softly pick out the glue residues, being mindful of the real lashes and the lash strip.
Dip a cotton ball in an alcohol solution and wipe through the fake lash strip. This can get rid of any final glue residues and additionally disinfect it for the next use. Your eye is overly sensitive, thus, leftover eye makeup or glue particles can cause irritation to it.
Avoid getting your fake lashes wet. They are not compatible with water; hence it will destroy them. No matter the make they are. You may drop your false lashes in a bowl of makeup remover to actually get them clean. You can leave them for an hour to dissolve excess glue and makeup.
Congrats! Your false eyelashes are ready to be stored until your next use.
HOW TO STORE YOUR FAKE EYELASHES FOR REUSE.
Part of the battle of maintaining your lashes for reuse is storage.
Keep the plastic container that came along with the lashes.
You don't need to purchase a package, tho' -- save the plastic case that holds the lashes, further because the receptacle with the half-moon shapes for the lashes to curve around.
If you misplace or lose the packaging from your lashes, you'll be able to purchase reusable cases from beauty stores and online sites.
Bend the lashes around the trays and shut the package.
Take and place the dry lashes on the half-moon trays, bending them slightly to suit the curve so that they hold their form.
Next, place the receptacle within the plastic case and shut the container, therefore the lashes are shielded from dirt, dust, and debris.
Endeavor to get rid of any extra liquid before putting the lashes back in the container.
In many cases, you can just put the fake eyelashes back in the package that they came in and hold the bands' form.
Storing the false lashes back in their box can help to maintain their curve and will make for easier application and reuse.
Whatever you choose to keep your fake eyelashes in, ensure they're in very closed packaging. If you leave them out on the toilet counter or open places, they will collect dirt, and you know what that means... Can lead to eye infections.
Keep the mink lashes within a dark, cool location.
When the fake lashes are in their packaging, it's necessary to store them within the right spot.
Heat and powerful light will warp the lashes; therefore you ought to keep them in the dark, cool place, like a dresser drawer, till you wish to reuse the fake lashes.
Avoid keeping your eyelashes within the bathroom, because it regularly gets hot and wet.
If you wish to get the uttermost wear out of your false eyelashes, choose mink lashes with a thick band and mink lashes Australia because they have a tendency to be additional durable than synthetic eyelashes and those with thinner bands.
With the detailed tips above, you should be able to reuse your fake eyelashes till your satisfaction while being mindful of the safety of your eyes.
In answer to the question: can you reuse your fake eyelashes? Yes, you can be able to reuse your fake lashes.

Broken Sugar Bowl Quilt Block
The Broken Sugar Bowl quilt block is another variation in the Jacob's Ladder block family.
Not quite the block you were looking for? Click here to go the other Jacob's Ladder variations and links to those patterns.
Let's make our Broken Sugar Bowl!
Several abbreviations are used on this page:
SA - seam allowance
HST - half square triangle
RST - right sides together
All SA are 1/4" unless otherwise noted.
Pressing instructions are highlighted to make them easy to find.
Choose a medium and dark fabric with enough contrast so that the individual pieces are clearly differentiated.
I prefer to cut over-sized patches for my half square triangles, then sew the unit and trim to the correct dimensions.
In this tutorial for the 6" finished sample block, I cut my #2 and #3 patches 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" instead of the 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" listed in the chart below—adding 1/4" to each dimension—for specifically that reason.
If you'd like to cut your HST patches oversized, they are marked with ** below.
~ Traditional Piecing ~
1	 Dark	 2	 2½" x 2½"	 3½" x 3½"	 4½" x 4½"
2*	 Medium	 2	 2⅞" x 2⅞"	 3⅞" x 3⅞"	 4⅞" x 4⅞"
3*	 Background	 2	 2⅞" x 2⅞"	 3⅞" x 3⅞"	 4⅞" x 4⅞"
4	 Dark	 1	 1½" x 7"	 2" x 9"	 2½" x 11"
5	 Background	 1	 1½" x 7"	 2" x 9"	 2½" x 11"
6	 Background	 2	 1½" x 1½"	 2" x 2"	 2½" x 2½"
7	 Medium	 2	 1½" x 1½"	 2" x 2"	 2½" x 2½"
Unfinished Block Size	 6½"	 9½"	 12½"
Grid Size	 1"	 1½"	 2"
Step 2: Create the Broken Sugar Bowl units
We'll use the Quick Pieced Method for making these HSTs.
Draw a diagonal line on the back of both #3 background squares.
Stitch a 1/4" from both sides of this drawn line.
After stitching, give the pairs a quick press as they were sewn and then cut them in half on the drawn line.
Press the four HST open with the SA to the dark.
Find your Finished Block Size in the chart below and trim your HST as directed. If you cut generously you'll be trimming more than if you cut the patches the exactly as listed in the Cutting Chart.
6"	 2-1/2"
12"	 4-1/2"
Four Patches
With RST, sew the #4 and #5 strip together along the long edge.
The SA is pressed to the dark.
Find your Finished Block Size in the chart below.
Verify that your strip set measures true to the corresponding width. Subcut the stripset into four equal units the 'Subcut Width'.
Stripset Width
after Stitching
Subcut
6"	 2-1/2"	 1-1/2"
9"	 3-1/2"	 2"
12"	 4-1/2"	 2-1/2"
With RST stitch a #6 to a #7 square. Repeat for a total of two.
Press the SA toward the darker fabric.
Arrange the pairs as shown below.
With RST, sew each pair together. The SA can be pressed to one side or 'twirled'.
These are our finished four patches.
Step 3: Assemble the Broken Sugar Bowl quilt block
Arrange all the units into rows as shown below. The dark #1(large) and #4(small) squares are in the outside corners.
With RST, stitch the units in each row together.
Take a quick peek and flip open the patches right before sewing them. It's real easy to mix them up at the sewing machine.
When you're sure they're in the proper position, stitch.
Press the SA away from the HST.
With RST, stitch the rows together. I pin to keep the points of the HST matching up where they should be.
And this is the finished Broken Sugar Bowl quilt block!

Começou ontem a ser plantada a grama no Campo de Golfe na Barra da Tijuca. O buraco 8 dos 18 previstos ja' esta' verdinho e encheu de entusiasmo o pessoal do Comite Olimpico do Rio2016 por ser este um dos maiores legados deixados a Cidade Maravilhosa depois dos Jogos: um campo de golfe publico, onde não será necessário ser socio para praticar. A grama normalmente demora 11 meses para crescer propriamente.
"Demos hoje um passo importante na construção do Campo Olímpico de Golfe. O início do plantio de grama em um buraco é a última atividade de construção do campo após o encerramento da terraplanagem, da irrigação e do acabamento", explicou Agberto Guimarães, diretor de Esportes e Integração Paralímpica do Comitê Rio 2016.
The International Hockey Federation (FIH) finished a 3 day visit to Rio yesterday – which included the sports venue in Teodoro – on a very positive note. The delegation included Secretary General Kelly Fairweather, Director of Sport David Luckes and Executive Board Member Alberto Budeisky, seemed satisfied with the progress of the plans which they claim to have gone over in every detail.
"Overall the message we are giving is very positive. We have seen a sense of urgency and momentum building here which is quite comforting. I think they´ve demonstrated a lot of progress so that was really positive from our point of view. I went to sleep last night feeling very positive", said Fairweather.
The delegation met with members of Rio 2016 Committee, the Empresa Olimpica Municipal (EOM) and the Federal Government and among the topics discussed were not only a detailed progress of the operational planning but also the competition venue itself, the test event, competition schedule, accommodation, training venue and ticketing.
"We had a key meeting around Deodoro; we received a detailed presentation on the cluster operations from the Head of Venue Management for Deodoro and I must say that was quite comforting because it gave us a really good idea of the flows and how the different client management services will operate during Games time.
"We then zoomed in on the hockey venue and spent a lot of time talking about the plans which we had reviewed in detail. We had many questions which we went through one by one and 95% of them were answered, so I think we´ve made some really good progress. The key now is obviously to get people on the ground, moving earth and starting construction as soon as possible.
The delegation also visited the Federal University (UFRJ) which will provide the Games training venue and inspected the accommodation for technical officials. Following the 2016 Games the Deodoro hockey venue will provide an important legacy facility to help develop the sport in Brazil.
In an internet hangout with Brazilian journalist last night, the Rio's mayor Eduardo Paes defended the high spending on infrastructure for the Olympic Games, which already reached around £40 billion. It is obviously an attempt to prepare the population for the extra funds that will inevitably be spent in the next 2 years. According to Paes, the more you spend on infrastructure, bigger the legacy.
"People demand legacy and mobility but complain about the work being done. It's a lose-lose situation", he sniped at the locals who complain that the amount of works have troubled the day-to-day population.
The budget for infrastructural alone have totalled over £6billion.
The international Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision to intervene on the preparations for the Olympic Games is the front page headline of the paper edition of one of the biggest papers in Brazil, Folha de S Paulo. The first measure announced was to bring forward the visit of IOC Executive Director Gilbert Felli which should happen in just over 10 day's time now and aims to monitor the organisation of the event. The IOC has also decided it will coordinate a committee which will be responsible for making 'top level decisions' and will include representatives of all three spheres of government – federal, state and municipal.
Personally, I believe it to be an excellent idea. It seems the IOC has what lacks in FIFA: decision makers who are also hands on to the job. They are very worried that, less than 1000 days before the start of the Games, it has not yet been disclosed who will be responsible for funding each work. And instead of coming over to tell people off and let the press and public opinion have a field day with the organisers, the IOC representatives decided to pull their sleeves and get into work. Together.
Rio's mayor told journalists in a Press conference yesterday that he welcomes the anticipation of their arrival. "I need the IOC here , and I told the president ( Thomas ) Bach , so that they understand the position of Brazil – said Paes . And, hopefully, help to put pressure on the intrinsic triple system of decision making in Brazil.
The mayor acknowledged that the delay in works of Deodoro Olympic Park is worrying but pledged to meet all deadlines and that there will be a need for alternative plans – another concern of the IOC, the lack of Plan B.
The Rio 2016 Committee said the measures are timely . In a statement, it reads that the creation of new working groups is part of the ongoing relationship with the IOC Games organizers , since teamwork would be the best and only way forward .
The PR work is looking good. Now what we need is to get down to work.

Since 1999, LTSP has empowered many schools and businesses with Linux-based terminal servers and thin clients, allowing low-cost clients or recycled computers to become powerful Linux desktop machines. K12Linux allows easy deployment of a Linux terminal server, capable of serving entire networks of netboot diskless clients. Clients login to the central terminal server, where they can use any Linux desktop environment and most desktop applications. Significant long-term cost savings are made possible by central management of software and accounts.
Rate this project Arch Linux 2008.06 has been released. Arch Linux is an independently developed i686/x86_64-optimized community distribution, based on a rolling-release package model and targeted at competent GNU/Linux users. From the announcement: "Arch Linux 2008.06 'Overlord'. The Arch Linux 2008.06 ISO images are out. This release introduces many changes: 'base' category is always installed; use of UUIDs for persistent device naming; availability of USB disk images alongside traditional ISOs; true live Arch installation environment; inclusion of the beginner's guide from the Wiki; documentation updates; includes the current stable kernel, 2.6.25.6." Here is the very brief release announcement. Download the core installation ISO images from here: archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.iso (291MB, MD5, torrent), archlinux-2008.06-core-x86_64.iso (305MB, MD5, torrent).
Pierre Schmitz has announced the release of Arch Linux 2012.07.15 "netinstall" CD image. Since Arch Linux is a strictly rolling-release distribution, this release merely provides an updated system installer and it does not represent a new Arch Linux "version" in the traditional sense of the word. From the announcement: "New CD images containing a current Arch Linux snapshot have been released. Most notable change is that AIF (the Arch Installation Framework) is no longer included but instead some simple install scripts are provided to aid in the installation process. This means that a menu driven installer is no longer available and we rely more on documentation to guide new users. Instead of six different images we only provide a single one which can be booted into an i686 and x86_64 live system to install Arch Linux over the network." Download the new Arch Linux "netinstall" CD image from here: archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso (483MB, MD5, torrent).

Q: ImportError: Could not import PIL.Image. The use of `array_to_img` requires PIL This is very tricky. I have almost tried all solutions on the internet but still can't solve this problem.
If I simply type
from PIL import ImageFile
print(Image.__file__)

Everything seems work fine and the system will print
C:\Users\BenWang\Anaconda3\envs\tensorflow\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py

Like this
But in my coding, if I use the following code:
import sys
from PIL import Image
ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True

train_tensors = paths_to_tensor(train_files).astype('float32')/255
valid_tensors = paths_to_tensor(valid_files).astype('float32')/255
test_tensors = paths_to_tensor(test_files).astype('float32')/255

The error will appear something like this:

    104     img = pil_image.open(path)

ImportError: Could not import PIL.Image. The use of `array_to_img` requires PIL.

A: I just run into a problem like that. Then I install pillow and restart kernel(Spyder) to solve it.
