Lockheed gets $474.2 mln F-22 fighter contract
WASHINGTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) has been awarded a $474.2 million U.S. Air Force contract for four more F-22 fighter aircraft and related work as production heads toward an end, the Defense Department said Thursday.
Under the fiscal 2010 defense authorization act signed into law Wednesday by President Barack Obama, the United States is capping production at 187 of the premier U.S. fighter aircraft.

The Work of László Moholy-Nagy
Many prominent and influential figures emerged from the Bauhaus. One of these figures was László Moholy-Nagy, a Hungarian painter and photographer, and a professor at the Bauhaus. Today, we take a closer look at his life, work and impact on the world of Modernist design.
Self Portrait (1918), László Moholy-Nagy
The Life of László Moholy-Nagy
Originally born in 1895 as László Weisz, Moholy-Nagy grew up in Hungary. He always tended to be artistic, even in boyhood. His first dream was to become a writer or poet and he had poems published in the local paper at the young age of 16. After studying law for just two years, Moholy-Nagy enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian army in 1915 and in the field, his artistic pursuits persisted. He documented his experience through writing, crayon sketches and watercolors until he was discharged just three years later.
After all these experiences, Moholy-Nagy abandoned his law studies to attend a private art school in 1918. He had his first art exhibition just a year later. The years that followed would prove formative for his personal and artistic life: in 1920, he moved to Berlin, where he met his first wife, Lucia Schulz — and they were married just a year later — and then in 1922, Moholy-Nagy met none other than Walter Gropius, Founder of the Bauhaus.
Architecture (Eccentric Construction) (c. 1921), László Moholy-Nagy
In 1923, Gropius invited Moholy-Nagy to teach at the Bauhaus. There, he co-taught a foundational course alongside Bauhaus legend Josef Albers, and replaced the famous Paul Klee as Head of the Metal Workshop. He continued to teach at the Bauhaus for a period of five years, a time which heavily influenced his own artistic philosophy.
Moholy-Nagy's own work spanned across a variety of mediums, including photography, typography, sculpture, painting, printmaking, film-making, and industrial design. The artist is also cited as the first to incorporate scientific equipment, like the telescope, microscope, and radiography, into his own art practice. This practice highlights Moholy-Nagy's own open-mindedness. He was always interested in experimentation and the play between life, art and technology — particularly, how the three intersected and paved the way for social transformation and the betterment of humanity.
His work, which often falls under the category of abstract and avant garde, was also influenced by the Constructivism movement of the early 20th century as well as the Dada artists he encountered upon moving to Germany. Thanks to his creative fluidity and pioneering methods, his work across disciplines and styles has been called "relentless experimental."

Perhaps his most iconic work was Light Prop for an Electric Stage, completed in 1930. Referred to as a "kinetic light display," the piece's rotating construction included reflective surfaces from which a beam of light bounced, casting both moving light and shadow onto nearby surfaces. It's considered a pivotal fixture in the history of Modern sculpture and perhaps best exemplifies Moholy-Nagy's own artistic philosophy.
Meanwhile, Gropius continued to impact Moholy-Nagy's career trajectory when in 1937, he recommended the experimental artist as the head of the New Bauhaus in Chicago (which would eventually become incorporated to the Illinois Institute of Technology as we know it today). In Chicago, he continued to pioneer new methods and experiment until his early death from leukemia at just fifty-one years old.
His life, work and legacy live on in the, earning him the title of the "genius of all media" and an eternal place in the history of Modernist art and design.

LBCF, No. 247: 'Another award-winner' September 6, 2019 Fred Clark

Volume 2 of The Anti-Christ Handbook, completing all the posts on the first Left Behind book, is also now available. Volume 3 is coming someday.
Tribulation Force, pp. 205-207
"You're sorry and I forgive you," Buck Williams told Chloe Steele, whereupon she began to cry:
"What'd I do now?"
"You're just being too sweet about this!"
That was in the previous chapter, which concluded with Chloe's tearful description of how awesome and forgiving Buck Williams is.
The problem with this effusive praise of Jenkins' wish-fulfillment surrogate is that it comes from a woman, and in the Left Behind universe, girls' opinions don't really count. Hence the following pages, in which Buck is praised even more effusively by manly man and successful businessman Stanton Bailey.
This praise is delivered, of course, over the telephone:
"Still got the touch. How does it feel to write another award-winner?"
"Well, I'm glad you like it, Mr. Bailey, but I didn't write it for an award."
"We never do, do we? Ever craft one just to make it fit a category in some contest? Me neither. I've seen guys try it, though. Never works. They could take a lesson from you. Thorough, long but tight, all the quotes, all the angles, fair to every opinion. I thought it was real good of you not to make the alien kooks and the religious wackos look stupid. Everybody's got a right to his own opinion, right? And these represent the heartland of America, whether they believe it was something green from Mars or Jesus on a horse. … Anyway, this thing's a masterpiece, and I appreciate your usual great job."
He goes on. And on. And refers to Verna, Buck's putative boss, as "that little gal … what's her name?" because it's not enough just to praise Buck, Jenkins also needs to belittle the woman he created for the sake of belittling her because he thinks that makes Buck look even cooler.
All of this praise for the Greatest Investigative Reporter of All Time is due to his Global Weekly cover story on the causes of the disappearances. His research for this article, you'll recall, consisted of interviewing the following: one Catholic bishop, one commercial airline pilot, one charter pilot and a handful of people who work in GW's Chicago bureau. This, Jenkins/Bailey says, constitutes getting "all the quotes, all the angles." ("And, gosh, ace-reporter of mine, how ever did you get access for that interview with Bob in circulation — what a great get!")
We haven't been allowed to read Buck's article, but from this passage and some that came earlier we know it considers three possibilities: Space Aliens, Jesus and the official, Nicolae Carpathia-endorsed explanation of "some kind of electromagnetic phenomenon."
Someone killed every child on Earth. It was either Evil Jesus or Space Aliens.
The problem for Nicolae, and for the authors, is that the first two are far more plausible than the third, which is utter nonsense and demonstrably false. Yet this third explanation is supposedly the one that Stanton Bailey regards as most respectable and that the entire world is now accepting with an utterly complacent incuriosity.
Even more of a problem is that Buck Williams decided to assist Nicolae by writing an article that makes the official cover story seem both reasonable and respectable.
It's hard to imagine what Buck's article could possibly have said to pull off such a trick. "Blah blah blah electromagnetism blah blah," might work as an explanation for something about which readers are only dimly, passingly curious — the sort of question about which they might be satisfied to think, "Oh, I see, it's complex and confusing, so whatever." But the question readers will be asking is something they desperately need an answer for: "Where did my daughter go?"
To parents demanding an answer to this question, the "electromagnetism" B.S. would sound like precisely what it is — a half-baked official story used to cover up the truth.
The post-Event world, keep in mind, would have a higher-percentage of scientists than the pre-Event world did. (I'm assuming that even scientists like Francis Collins who self-identify as "evangelical Christians" wouldn't qualify as real, true Christians for LaHaye's Rapture.)
Whatever those scientists might have been working on before the Event — cancer research, cold fusion, proof that Rosenzweig's formula is a fraud — they would all have dropped those efforts to dedicate themselves to the mystery of the missing children. All of them. And even though these scientists would by now have only had a few sleepless, fevered weeks, they'd already have begun to rule out numerous possibilities.
Such as electromagnetism, for example. This is something that can be measured — something that actually is being measured all the time, all over the place. And those measurements would show nothing anomalous, no strange surge of electromagnetism before, after or during the Event.
Not that it would have seemed plausible anyway. The disappearances were too instantaneous — occurring across the entire planet, in every time zone, in the precise same millisecond — and too clearly targeted. The clothes, eyeglasses, hearing aids and implants left behind were undamaged. There was no residue, no ash, no vapor. Millions of tons of matter gone in an instant without any corresponding release of energy, suggesting perhaps something dimensional or cross-dimensional.
All of that points to Space Aliens or Divine Intervention. And it explicitly rules out the official explanation or any other possible natural or random explanation. Someone did this.
Had Buck bothered to interview a single scientist, he would have been able to include this refutation of the official explanation in his article. Not only would this have made for a better and more informative article, but it would have meant the end of Nicolae Carpathia's career as a credible public figure — possibly even the end of his life.
Politicians lie, and some politicians seem to do nothing but lie. Yet lying about this, lying to parents about this, would be a career killer. Satan himself wouldn't be able to rescue his chosen one from the fallout of such a lie. Nicolae would have been sent packing back to Romania whereupon he would be impeached as president and/or torn apart by an angry mob of grieving parents angry that he would try to exploit their grief for his own political gain (and far too enraged to be swayed by his soothing, "look directly into my eyes" mind-control mojo).
After Nicolae's downfall, Buck Williams — in recognition of his work unmasking the official explanation and bringing this hideous, unforgivable lie to light — would have been crowned as People magazine's new Sexiest Man Alive (only the third virgin ever so honored).
Buck didn't write such an article because doing so would have derailed the plot of the series, demonstrating yet again that what it portrays as "prophecy come to life" is a mass of implausibilities and impossibilities that require a world filled with humans who behave in ways that no humans ever have or ever would.
Buck's approach in his article does seem somewhat familiar, though. I've read enough weekly news magazines and watched enough cable news to appreciate that his unresearched hodge-podge of "some say this and others say that and who can really say?" does resemble what passes for "journalism" these days.
But I doubt this "who can really say?" pseudojournalism could survive after the Event. When people are desperately demanding answers, an inconclusive, unsubstantiated collection of competing talking points wouldn't cut it.
Buck's article won't win any awards from parents desperately needing to learn what happened to their children. It can only further frustrate and infuriate the already enraged masses — people who want their children back or, short of that, want somebody to pay.
Someone did this. For most observers, the global extent of the phenomenon would direct suspicion outward. No one on Earth would do such a thing, and no one on Earth could have. This came from outside, some external power with the ability to pull it off. Space Aliens or Evil Jesus — those are the most reasonable, logical, sensible explanations.
That means, despite what Bailey and Buck think, those would not be fringe opinions. The kooks on the fringes would be chasing other explanations — the Large Hadron Collider or Israeli Rosenfood.
But 90 percent of the planet would most likely be thinking Space Aliens.
And that would mean parents around the world channeling their grief and bewilderment into pure rage directed at America. The White House and Groom Lake and every other U.S. Air Force facility in the world would be under siege. And not just from American parents, but from international leaders and their armies. They would be demanding full disclosure — "What did America know and when did it know it?" "What's in Hangar 18?" "What really happened in Roswell — and don't say 'a weather balloon,' you bastards, they took our children!"
The Americans' claims of innocent ignorance wouldn't likely be persuasive, and the United States would soon find itself at war in a world without allies.
All of which would have happened, of course, far sooner than the four weeks it's taking Global Weekly to get its cover story on the causes of the disappearances out to newsstands.
If a majority of observers opt instead for the Evil Jesus explanation I think the scenario plays out pretty much the same. Just substitute the Vatican for the White House and local church buildings for Air Force bases.
Either way, the world would be awash in blood and flames long before this conversation between Buck and Bailey would have ever had a chance to happen.
Why isn't the Space Force in the Bible?

Review: Justin Bieber clocks into London's O2 Arena
John Hyde
Published: 10:55 PM March 14, 2011 Updated: 8:33 AM October 14, 2020
Thousands of screaming girls loved it, but did our reporter come down with Bieber Fever?
HE'S not one for lateness is young Justin Bieber.
The teenager may have reportedly found a fan in his hotel bedroom earlier in the day, but he was still right on time for his O2 show on Monday night.
Of course, it helped that the arena had a countdown clock, building his young female fans into a frenzy of screams that would make your ears bleed.
By the time he arrived on stage in a caged sphere, Justin could probably have sat in silence for two hours and his fans would have walked away happy.
Being the cynical, jealous old hack that I am, perhaps that may have been preferable.
It's just difficult to see the cause of this manic adulation for Justin, whose skinny arms and high-pitched voice are a constant reminder that he is, after all, a child – albeit one with supreme and rather terrifying self-confidence.
Is he even that good looking? There were probably at least five lads at my school who could have matched him if they had an expensive haircut and airbrushed features.
With more than a knowing nod to Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake, he bounded around stage with a swagger and fluent dance moves.
But there's no substance, nothing to stick in the memory – his songs became like background music after a while as my eyes passed onto the masses of camera flashes and glow sticks.
The show itself was good fun for the teeny-boppers. He flew over the stage in a caged heart, strumming an acoustic guitar pleasantly enough (especially considering he was hovering 20 feet in the air) and dedicated one ballad to a girl on stage, who bizarrely looked rather uncomfortable with the whole experience.
Even more strangely, British singer Craig David pitched up for a duet, performing to a crowd who may never even have heard of Bo Selecta.
For those expecting unforgettable words from the Bieber, they were disappointed, with Justin only offering the odd insincere word on how pretty British girls were.
By the end, the crowd had screamed themselves hoarse and Justin's team had no doubt cashed another eye-watering cheque (anyone buying a programme at �15 needs their head examining).
The audience loved it, and that's ultimately the main thing. I didn't come down with Bieber fever, but as a 28-year-old man, I'm probably immune.


CONGRATULATIONS to the String Ninjas for their acceptance into the Connecticut State Elementary Honors Orchestra. They will perform with string students across the state at the Connecticut State Music Educator's Association Conference in April. I am so proud of these hardworking musicians for their practice and dedication , they will represent Emerson-Williams well!
The String Ninjas have been working on learning how to tune themselves. While this is a very helpful and necessary skill, it is no easy task! They have been working on tuning carefully and slowly so the get the correct pitches AND keep their instruments in tact.
We used the iPads to help us tune today. The FREE apps we used are called "Pano Tuner" and "Tuner Lite".
The musicians rated both apps and decided overall they liked both. "Pano Tuner" is easy to read and "Tuner Lite" was able to play all of the pitches they were tuning to. The third year string students have been encouraged to either use the online versions or download the apps to their devices at home so the can tune for themselves!

UPDATE: – 8/13/13 – Police found a body with the help of a cadaver dog on Tuesday afternoon near the Pittsfield Cemetery. They believe it is the body of Michael's, but at this writing it has not been confirmed.
Previous story Michael Gokey, 21, of 28 Highland Ave., in Pittsfield, Mass. was last seen at his home around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, August 6, 2013. He is known to go hiking in the Lake Onota Village area and St. Joseph Cemetery. Michael is described as 5 feet, 10 inches tall. He has blond hair, blue eyes and a thin build. He has a large tattoo of a skull and snake on his right shoulder, and a tattoo of a red cross on his right forearm.
Anyone who has any information about Gokey is asked to call Pittsfield Police Department Detective Bureau at (413) 448-9705.


When the police arrived, they stopped 20-year-old Mike Mendoza, who was wearing a striped shirt and jeans. Mendoza, who faces two counts of burglary of an occupied dwelling and two counts of third-degree grand theft, made his $10,000 bond.
Meanwhile, Sunny Isles Beach police put out a flier with Lodigensky's face. The City of Miami and Miramar police departments, among others, contacted Sunny Isles and helped bring in the career criminal.
At his bond hearing, Lodigensky pleaded for a $40,000 bond or less. Judge Mindy Glazer countered it should be far more, considering Lodigensky's prolific pilfering.
Neither the Sunny Isles condominium building at 17000 North Bay Rd. nor video baby monitors that could send pictures to your cellphone existed back when Lodigensky took his first conviction, for car burglary in June 1975.
The whole baby monitor setup still would've been considered Jetsons technology almost 30 years ago when Lodigensky took Fort Lauderdale police on a driving tour of homes he'd hit, according to a 1986 Sun Sentinel story. The story says Lodigensky told police about more than 50 break-ins he'd done in the Fort Lauderdale area. He got caught when a 12-year-old refused to let him in the front door. When Lodigensky climbed in a second floor window, the tween ordered him out, then scampered to a neighbor's house and called police.
Soon after, Lodigensky did two years for car burglary.


If you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth in a row, you may feel hesitant to smile or laugh around friends. In addition, eating meals may become difficult or uncomfortable. Fortunately, replacing your teeth with a bridge offers a natural looking, beautiful solution to tooth loss.
A dental bridge is a dental prosthetic that replaces one tooth or multiple teeth in a row. This type of prosthetic is composed of a row of dental crowns. On each end of the bridge, a dental crown affixes to an anchor tooth, while the remaining crowns between the anchors rest against your gums.
Do You Make A Good Candidate for Bridges?
If you're missing one or even multiple teeth, you may make an excellent candidate for a bridge. Because bridges rely on natural anchor teeth, you will need healthy teeth on which to attach your bridge. If you do not have healthy anchor teeth, or if the configuration of your missing teeth is spread across an arch, there may be alternative solutions.

Bill Cosby's Daughter on Sexual Assault Accusations: 'He Is the Father You Thought You Knew'
Evin Cosby is speaking out in support of the comedian in the wake of mounting allegations
Tim Kenneally | December 16, 2014 @ 10:22 AM	Last Updated: December 16, 2014 @ 10:27 AM
The daughter of comedian Bill Cosby, who's been besieged by a tide of sexual assault allegations in recent weeks, has weighed in on the scandal surrounding her father.
Referring to the wholesome image that Cosby portrayed as Cliff Huxtable on his '80s sitcom, the comedian's daughter, Evin Cosby, told "Access Hollywood" in a statement, "He is the FATHER you thought you knew. 'The Cosby Show' was my today's [sic] TV reality show. Thank you. That's all I would like to say :)."
The younger Cosby's statement follows a statement released Monday by the comedian's longtime wife Camille, who opined, "There appears to be no vetting of my husband's accusers."

"Access Hollywood" also cites an unverified Facebook account purportedly belonging to Evin, 38, in which she said that people who falsely accuse others of rape should face punishments akin to those that rapists receive.
"Rape is a serious allegation and it is supposed to be taken VERY seriously but so is falsely accusing someone. When someone rapes a person they go to prison," the Facebook account reads. "THAT should also happen to the person that has wrongfully accused an innocent victim. They are not ONLY destroying innocent people's life they are ALSO making it hard for the MEN and Women to find justice when they have been raped."
The Facebook account also addresses the numerous allegations that Cosby drugged his alleged victims before sexually assaulting them, questioning how the alleged victims could recall the events in such detail if they had been drugged.
"Drugged- you can remember the whole damn day but you were drugged?" it reads. "Just sayin. Memory- you can remember you looked at (allegedly) each other, people were starring allegedly remembering your home address allegedly the name you called him allegedly but you were allegedly drugged."

Cosby, 77, has been rocked by a flood of allegations from women who claim that he sexually attacked them over the years, including one woman who claims that Cosby sexually battered her when she was 15 at the Playboy Mansion.
As the allegations have emerged, NBC has canceled plans to develop a comedy that would have starred Cosby, while Netflix postponed a comedy special featuring Cosby.

In the wake of the mounting allegations against Cosby, his attorney Martin Singer released a statement saying: "The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity.

"These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years," Singer said.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU antitrust authorities approved on Monday U.S. wheel parts supplier Accuride's acquisition of German peer Mefro Wheels after it agreed to sell an Italian business.
The European Commission said it had been concerned about the combined company's more than 60 percent market share and the lack of competitors in Europe. Both companies make steel wheels for cars, trucks, buses and military vehicles.
Accuride, which is controlled by private equity firm Crestview L.L.C., will sell its Gianetti Ruote subsidiary to address the regulatory concerns.

Under Title 5, Chapter 19 of the Texas Penal Code, there are different degrees of "criminal homicide." What constitutes criminal homicide? Under Sec. 19.01, a person is guilty of criminal homicide when he or she intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly takes someone else's life.
In Texas, criminal homicide includes the following offenses: capital murder, murder, manslaughter, and criminally negligent homicide. Of these four homicide crimes, capital murder is the most serious. For the purposes of this post, we're going to take a closer look at capital murder in Texas.
The defendant commits murder (murder while in prison) while serving a life sentence or a term of 99 years for certain offenses under the Texas Penal Code.
The offense of capital murder in Texas is a capital felony, punishable by the death penalty, life without parole, or life (if the defendant committed the crime while they were under the age of 18).
If you are facing criminal homicide charges in Plano, it's critical that you seek help immediately. Contact The Zendeh Del Law Firm, PLLC to discuss the details of your case and the potential defense options available under the Title 2, Chapter 9 of the Texas Penal Code.

Covid-19 vaccination: India vs the world
India is trailing other countries in the percentage of population that has been vaccinated against Covid-19
Mudit Kapoor / Pragati Srivastava
Updated May 11, 2021, 4:43 PM IST
India is trailing other countries in the percentage of population that has been vaccinated against Covid-19. India has fully vaccinated only 1.8% of its 1.38 billion population till April 2021, while the US has already vaccinated near 30% of its population.


I put inside your gaping mouth.
but the lens sent to break it.
raised to the worms of your lips.
I'm ghosting tonight at the pub, where the party will be free of darkness decay and malign influences, and only poetry will have dominion over all.
Link in will be live from 3:00pm Tuesday to Midnight Wednesday, EST.
Barely making it before the end of the month, the Archivist frantically bestirs herself to change out last month's Seamus Heaney selection for something to give us a breath of madness and spring, from Lorca.
and below is last month's Punishment, by Seamus Heaney, read by the author. As always, feel free to comment on either poem here, as comments are disabled off the main page.
that once walked its lips across my crying skin?
crumpled cheek; waiting still? starved rigid?
not even a smell to hang in the drying frame of air.
to catch an oasis kiss and in mirage to live again.
of Ella's Edge, Used with permission.
a month of falling leaves.
Come to think of it, an always interesting read.
from the distant hawk that stoops.
to the bear's shaman paw.
diviner lover, out of our own imperfections wrought.
Ever you were truer to me than any breathing man.
Victoria is hosting today and this poem seemed to fit her challenge to write an answer to another poem, as well as cite a literary influence.
Italicized words are quotations or titles from Stevens' poems.
where Kenia's challenge was to dialogue with a poem or poet.
Having nothing ready for tonight, though a huge snarl of cantankerous works in progress, thought I would post an older poem that had limited exposure. This was originally submitted for a prompt (at the now defunct Big Tent Poetry) to utilize alliteration by choosing a letter, writing a word list, and using the ideas it generated for subject with a word from it for the title. Apologies to those who have already seen this.
curled up in cleaved breasts, well hidden in lace.
then tucks its head down and keeps drilling.
disarming observers with its plastic display.
the little grey snake's slowly filling.
nothing to drink but a glass of sand.
blinking blue coals under swollen lids.
to the parched hellfloor where I am not going.
Brian is hosting today, and has brought on board the expressive photography of Reena Walkling to get the word pump primed and flowing. Come join us.

for the time that never came.
Based on a dream. We all have our own heroes.
Labels: alchemy, blue house, the old gods dance, these dreams, who are these people?
Note: This was one of the last dozen or so poems I wrote before stopping for ten years. I've revised it today a bit here and there, and cut a few words to get it to exactly 55.
It's Valentine's Day, that most commercially candy-coated of holidays, and the day when Love in all its sweetness is celebrated across the land--except, of course, at Castle Hedgewitch, where instead we have a twisted cautionary tale for hungry young lovers whose eyes may be bigger than their stomachs, and a retelling (with customary poetic license) of an old feral, er...faerie tale from the Brothers All-too Grimm.
where every heedless sacrifice drops its spore.
and instead become your food supply, nothing more.
the gingerbread house with sugar hands and feet.
inside the cage made to plump her up as the oven heats.
pinched to test what's forever incomplete.
that trail that tells the strays just where to go.
nor the sandpaper licks I took so I could feel.
that freezes all I have that's still not numb.
Note: I've significantly altered this old tale to suit my fancy, put it into a valentiny rhyme scheme and fictionalized first-person form, removed the stereotypes of the wicked cannibal witch-hag and evil stepmother and made poor innocent Hansel, who was the original victim, the villain of the piece. That's what happens when you let feminazi witches rewrite the history books.
It is in changing that things find repose.
ocean sunned, a steam of water meeting flame.
as friction cooks the soul to snakes of smoke.
by the brazier and the flame.
all rising from the identical artist's flame.
that finds repose in what is born to change.
Charles Miller of Metanoetic Poetics is hosting at the pub tonight, and his theme is the exploration of philosophy through poetry. Come join us. Link in is live till Sunday Midnight.
"If all existing things were smoke, it is by smell that we would distinguish them."
You can find these and more of the words of Heraclitus which influenced this poem here at wikisource.
that looked the other way.
that cooked the heather grey.
and ran after it to play.
and the watch the Watcher kept.
as the fool loves the dance.
I'm reposting this for Kerry's Wednesday Challenge at real toads, which is to explore the idea of Magical Realism, making connection with things through their unseen and mysterious attributes. Thanks, Kerry, for letting me dig this one out of the cellars of Castle Hedgewitch.
where I'd searched in vain for sleep's last hiding place.
once Freya's distaff weaving the ravelled world.
parkoured from star to star canopied above me.
a dance above oblivion's shifting cracks.
one slip's enough to kill, yet you endure.
with its black mouth wide, its bone white lich's grin.
just lose me where the cell-shed seeds sprout green.
What's lost flies out and floats on seven winds.
What's left puts down its root to live again.
Brian Miller is our host tonight. Come join us at the Pub for a night of poetry sharing lasting through Wednesday at midnight.
The last lines of the first stanza refer to the constellation of Orion, a Hunter in Greek mythology whose belt of three stars holds the Orion nebula, representing the point of Orion's sword, and in Norse mythology, the distaff (a spinning tool) of Freya, goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war and death.

I dont know what i was doing anything wrong. Is there any help. I also did some search on Internet and i know its about namespace. Is there any ebook or documents for me to understand how namespace works, how to use and do i need to declare before using it

A: You've spelt "Customer" wrong in your index action.

A: You should add autoload classmap in composer.json
"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "app/Models"
    ],
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/"
    }
},

update composer

Utah: State-by-State COVID-19 Guidance
April 15, 2021:
On April 13, 2021, the Utah Department of Health recommended that vaccine providers temporarily pause administration of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine based on recent guidance from the CDC and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The temporary pause is based on reports of some vaccine recipients experiencing blood clots after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. During the temporary pause of the administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the state will continue administering the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines. More information about vaccine availability can be found here.
On April 9, 2021, the Utah Department of Health issued State Public Health Order 2021-10, which provides an update on statewide COVID-19 Restrictions. The new Order is similar to previous orders, except that it removes the requirement that individuals wear face masks, except while attending an organized event. This change was made to reflect the recent passage of House Bill No. 294, which eliminated the state's face mask requirement.
March 25, 2021:
On March 24, 2021, Governor Cox signed House Bill No. 294, which provides for the automatic termination of some COVID-19 restrictions once the state's 14-day case rate reaches a level below 191 per 100,000, the state's ICU seven-day hospitalization rate is less than 15%, and at least 1.63 million prime doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been allocated to the state.
Most notably, under House Bill No. 294, the state's mask mandate will terminate on April 10, 2021 (although the mask mandate may remain in place for gatherings of 50 or more people if individuals attending the gathering cannot physically distance at least 6 feet from others not in the same party). Additionally, House Bill No. 294 allows local county governments to enact their own mask mandates, but any mandates enacted by local governments will automatically terminate once the state meets the predetermined thresholds that are outlined in the Bill. Further, the Bill does not alter the mask mandates and other precautionary measures that are in place for public K-12 schools until July 1, 2021. Lastly, the Bill allows private businesses to continue requiring masks if the business so chooses.
Governor Cox also signed Senate Bill No. 107, which is related to in-person instruction in public K-12 schools and higher education institutions. Under this Bill, schools are required to offer in-person instruction at least 4 days per week, beginning on March 21, 2021. Additionally, the Bill would implement a "Test to Stay" program for schools providing in-person instruction, requiring students to undergo COVID-19 testing to attend in-person classes if a COVID-19 outbreak reaches the following thresholds:
2% positivity if schools have 1,500+ students; or
30 positive cases if schools have fewer than 1,500 students
The program requires parent permission to test students under the age of 18.
On March 18, 2021, Governor Spencer Cox announced that all Utah residents ages 16 and older will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine beginning March 24. More information about vaccine availability can be found here.
On February 26, 2021, Governor Cox announced that individuals age 16 or older with certain underlying health conditions are eligible for the COVID vaccine. Additionally, vaccination appointments can now be made with any Utah health department, removing the previous rule that residents could only make appointments with the health department in the area where they live. The state is scheduled to receive doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine beginning next week, in addition to the state's current allocation of Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
February 24, 2021:
On February 23, 2021, Governor Cox issued an executive order that provides updates to the state's COVID-19 vaccination plan. The order states that COVID vaccination eligibility will now be at the direction of the Utah Department of Health. Additionally, the order reiterates the previously established vaccine provider requirements. No changes were made to current vaccine eligibility.
On February 18, 2021, Governor Cox announced that individuals that are 65 years of age and older are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals in this group may begin scheduling vaccination appointments as they become available. Additionally, the state is moving forward with the next phase of eligibility beginning on March 1. In the next phase, individuals with certain underlying medical conditions will be eligible for the vaccine. More information on vaccine eligibility can be found here.
On February 16, 2021, Utah announced that it will begin COVID-19 contact tracing through smart phone applications to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Beginning on February 17, Utah residents will be able participate in the contact tracing efforts by opting in to COVID exposure notifications via smartphone devices. The state has explained that the electronic tracing does not store any personal data, and citizens must opt in to participate. Full information about the new contact tracing efforts can be found here.
On February 12, 2021, Governor Cox signed a concurrent resolution recognizing the efforts of the state health departments and other individuals that have contributed to containing the spread of COVID-19 in the state. Additionally, the Utah Department of Health announced new guidance on their recent changes to the COVID-19 Transmission Index. These changes include updates on public gathering requirements when transmission levels reach low and moderate stages. In areas of moderate transmission, the new requirements are:
Public gatherings can occur with side-by-side seating, but event hosts must complete an event template, all guests must wear masks, guests must have assigned seating, and guests must attest to being free of COVID-19 symptoms or exposures for 14 days prior to the event.
During Moderate phase, concession stands must be closed because of the increased risk of transmission of COVID-19.
Physical distance is still strongly recommended.
In addition to the moderate level changes, the Department of Health has also announced changes to low transmission levels. The changes for low transmission levels include mask mandates, as well as a requirement that hosts complete an event template. Updated COVID-19 transmission level guidance can be found here.
On February 9, 2021, Governor Cox participated in a virtual COVID-19 Q&A session where he addressed questions related to vaccine availability, vaccine distribution, mask mandates, and next phases for vaccine eligibility. These Q&A sessions are expected to continue throughout the pandemic.
February 8, 2021:
On February 4, 2021, the state announced that it will be getting an increase in vaccine allocation of 5 percent, which brings the allocation up to 42,000 doses per week. Additionally, the state announced the groups that will be eligible for vaccine on March 1 include:
Those age 65 and older; and
Those ages 18 and older with the following medical conditions:
Solid organ transplant recipients;
Certain cancers;
Immunocompromised state from blood, bone marrow, or organ transplant, HIV, use of corticosteroids long-term, or long-term use of other immune weakening medicines;
Severe kidney disease on dialysis or with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease;
Uncontrolled diabetes;
Severe obesity;
Chronic liver disease including chronic hepatitis B or C;
Chronic heart disease (not hypertension);
Severe chronic respiratory disease other than asthma;
Neurologic conditions that impair respiratory function, including Down's Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, quadriplegia, or hemiplegia;
Stroke, Alzheimer's, or vascular or frontotemporal dementia; and
Asplenia, including splenectomy, spleen dysfunction, or sickle cell disease.
January 27, 2021:
On January 27, Governor Cox announced that Utah will receive extra doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Walgreens and CVS pharmacies reallocated 28,275 additional doses for distribution throughout the state. These doses are in addition to the 8,775 doses received by the state this week, and the 19,500 doses that are scheduled to be delivered to the state next week.
On January 21, 2021, Governor Cox gave on update on Utah's coronavirus vaccine plan. The COVID-19 vaccines are currently available for healthcare workers, long-term care facility staff and residents, first responders, and K-12 teachers and school staff. As of January 21, 2021, Utah has administered the COVID-19 vaccines in the following amounts to the members of those groups:
97% of vaccine doses allocated to local health departments;
96% of vaccine doses allocated to hospitals;
100% of vaccine doses allocated to community nursing services;
83% of vaccine doses allocated to "other" groups;
43% of vaccine doses allocated through the Federal Pharmacy Partnership.
On January 8, Governor Cox issued Executive Order 2021-02, which orders that teachers and staff members in Utah's K-12 schools will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine beginning the week of January 11, 2021. Governor Cox's executive order also provides that Utahans aged 70 and older will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine beginning the week of January 18, 2021.
Also, on January 8, Governor Cox set a goal of fully immunizing all health care providers, including long-term care facility staff and residents, first responders, public and trial health frontline workers, K-12 teachers and school staff, and adults older than 70 by the end of February. The approximate number of Utah residents from these population groups totals 412,000.
Executive Order 2021-02 details vaccine eligibility and vaccine provider requirements, including not administering the vaccine provider requirements, including not administering the vaccine to someone who has tested positive from COVID-19 within 90 days, administering each COVID-19 vaccine within seven days of receiving the vaccine; and reporting data each day by 6:59 a.m. central time.
Executive Order 2021-02 also states that vaccine provider who does comply with the order may be subject to reduced COVID-19 vaccine distribution or no distribution for future distribution periods. A COVID-19 vaccine not used within seven days of distribution is subject to redistribution. The order further provides that the Utah Department of Health will coordinate with local health departments to establish procedures to offer monoclonal antibodies to residents of long-term care facilities who have tested positive for COVID-19.
January 6, 2021:
The Utah Department of Health has announced that it is currently in Phase 1 (Mid-December through Late December-January of its Vaccine Distribution Timeline) of its vaccine distribution plan. The COVID-19 vaccine is presently available to the following citizens either through employers or their local health department:
All hospital healthcare workers can be vaccinated by their employers;
Long-term care facility healthcare workers can be vaccinated by their employers with the help of the CVS and Walgreens national pharmacy chains or by other local providers the Utah Department of Health has contracted to administer the vaccine;
Home healthcare workers employers by home healthcare agencies can be vaccinated by their local health department;
Non-hospital healthcare workers employed by independent medical clinics not associated with a hospital or healthcare system can get vaccinated by their local health department;
EMS workers can be vaccinated through local health department or through their employers;
All other healthcare workers, including dentists, dental assistants, physical and occupational therapists, and medical aesthetics can be vaccinated by their local health departments;
Non-EMS first responders such as law enforcement officers, dispatchers, and corrections officers can be vaccinated by contacting their local health departments or their employers.
Individuals from these groups who seek to be vaccinated through their local health department must contact their local health department to schedule an appointment. Each individual will need to provide proof of current active employment.
The state of Utah anticipates that the COVID-19 vaccine will be available to its citizens beginning in Mid-December 2020 with doses available to healthcare personnel in work in high risk environments through hospitals in the state that provide care to the highest number of COVID-19 patients. The state anticipates the vaccine will be available to the general population sometime between March-July 2021. Utah's vaccine distribution timeline will progress as follows:
Mid-December:
healthcare personnel who work in high-risk environments in the state's hospitals that provide care to the highest volume of COVID-19 patients.
Late December-January:
healthcare workers who work in high-risk environments in the remaining hospital facilities;
remaining healthcare personnel including clinics, pharmacy state, Tribal health long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing staff, and other healthcare personnel who are high-risk;
School staff;
EMS, first responders, public health workers, community health workers, and Tribal EMS and Tribal public health workers.
Long-term care facility staff and residents who have not been vaccinated;
Utahns 75 and older;
Utahns with certain underlying medical conditions (specific conditions have not yet been determined).
March-July:
Tribal reservation communities;
Additional Utahns based on age (prioritization not yet determined);
Additional Utahns living in congregate care settings (prioritization to be determined);
Racial and ethnic groups at higher-risk;
All Utahns.
The timeline is subject to change based on vaccine availability.
On January 4, 2021, the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) announced that it is offering free rapid antigen testing at several locations throughout the state. Testing locations were chosen based on positivity rates, lower numbers of tests conducted, untreated wastewater sampling, and other surveillance data. Anyone, regardless of if they have COVID-19 symptoms or not, can be tested at these free testing sites. Those who want to be tested can find a location and register through the state's online map. UDOH encourages everyone to pre-register to limit delays at the testing sites.
Because rapid antigen tests are less sensitive than PCR tests, the UDOH will require a PCR test under certain circumstances. For instance, if an individual has COVID-19 symptoms and tests negative on the rapid antigen test or if an individual does not have symptoms and test positive on the rapid antigen test, they will be referred for a follow up confirmation PCR test.
On November 23, 2020, the Utah Department of Health released a new public health order. The department's previous order, issued on November 8, 2020, expires at midnight. The new order is identical to the original order and is effective from November 24, 2020 until December 8, 2020 unless otherwise modified or amended.
On November 12, 2020, Governor Herbert and the Utah Department of Health provided additional clarification to the State of Emergency Order and the Public Health Order. The revised orders clarify the following:
Physical child custody exchanges, court-ordered parent time, and at-home child care services (such as nannies and babysitters) are permitted;
The requirement for college and university students who live on-campus or attend at least one class a week on-campus to be tested weekly for COVID-19 applies only to students who are 18 or older.
On November 8, following several weeks of increased strain on Utah's hospitals due to a rise in COVID-19 cases, Governor Herbert declared a new state of emergency to address hospital overcrowding. Governor Herbert and the Utah Department of Health issued concurrent executive and public health orders to curb the surging case counts. Both orders are effective from November 9, 2020 through November 23, 2020.
The orders do the following:
Institute a statewide mask mandate, requiring Utahns to wear masks in public, and when within six feet of anyone outside their household. The mandate also applies to businesses, requiring employees and patrons to wear masks, and post signage. Businesses that fail to take the required actions will be subject to fines. In his press release, the Governor also noted that the mask mandate will remain in effect for the foreseeable future, extending past the expiration of the initial orders.
Limit casual social gatherings to household-only.
All extracurricular activities, including athletic and intramural events on hold. The orders do not apply to intercollegiate athletic events, or practices and games associated with high school championships provided that those events follow the state's instructions for testing and limiting crowd size.
Beginning as soon as possible, but no later than January 1, 2021, students enrolled at public and private higher education institutions who either live on campus or attend one in person class per week will be required to be tested for COVID-19 weekly.
Utah also announced that it will activate additional National Guard resources to assist with contact tracing, and rollout of an accelerated testing initiative for asymptomatic individuals. This program will focus on the required weekly testing on college campuses, testing for student participating in extracurricular activities, and eventual workplace testing for people 35 and under. The Utah Department of Health is also working to expand rapid asymptomatic testing for high school teachers. All K-12 teachers in the state currently have universal access to PCR testing through TestUtah.
On November 9, Governor Herbert and the Utah Department of Health released updated orders clarifying several points of confusion from the initial orders. The updated orders provide the following:
Bars and restaurants may remain open but are not permitted to serve alcohol after 10:00 p.m.
Athletic events run by private companies, such as dance and karate classes, are permitted to continue provided that max attendance numbers, mask wearing, and physical distancing requirements are enforced.
October 7, 2020:
On October 1, the Utah Labor Commission announced the launch of the Small Business Quarantined Employee Grant program ("Grant"). This grant program will help small businesses with less than 50 employees continue to pay employees who are required to quarantine or isolate due to a positive COVID-19 test or exposure to someone who has tested positive. The $2 million Grant uses federal CARES Act funds as part of Utah's response to the coronavirus pandemic. It provides reimbursement to small business employers who pay employees to stay home during quarantine or isolation for a maximum of 40 hours per week for a period of up to two calendar weeks.
September 23, 2020:
On September 19, 2020, Governor Herbert issued an Executive Order that again placed Utah under a state of emergency.

The State of Utah has announced the Racial Equity & Inclusion Fund, which has been formed to address COVID-19 disparities. Recent data indicates that in Utah, COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted racially and ethnically diverse communities. In response to the disparities, the Multicultural Subcommittee of the Utah Coronavirus Task Force developed the Racial Equity & Inclusion Fund which provides grants to community-based organizations in order to increase their ability to provide emergency support and financial assistance to disproportionately impacted communities. Through grantmaking, the Multicultural Subcommittee and its partners aim to increase the ability for organizations working on behalf of marginalized and systematically-isolated communities to sustain a more equitable future for themselves and their communities.
On June 23, 2020, with Utah's June 30 primary coming up, the state election's office has taken several steps to mitigate potential risks at the polls. Current steps being taken by the election's office can be found here. Also, Utah's Department of Health issued specific guidelines for poll workers to create safe and healthy experience for those voting in person in November. The Department's recommendations from the guidelines promote mask wearing, regularly wipe down high-tough surfaces, and locate polling booths six feet apart facing the same direction. For voters, things to consider include:
Think about using mail-in ballots.
Stay home if you have a fever, respiratory symptoms, or think you're sick.

Why Have We Underestimated Housing Demand Growth? Health care could account for almost a third of Hong Kong GDP by end of century
How Hong Kong could be a better city
(This essay was published in South China Morning Post on 20 August 2014)
Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) was a writer, thinker and activist. She railed against the received wisdom of the period's urban planners who promoted rigid master zoning plans and called for bulldozing slums, opening up city spaces, and resettling the displaced in either "skyscrapers in a park" or in "garden cities" that were self-contained communities surrounded by a greenbelt. Hong Kong's public housing estates are a direct descendent of this mindset.
Jacobs thought that cities worked best when they had mixed primary uses. Putting residential, commercial, office, small industrial and public uses within close proximity creates symbiotic relationships and increases the life of a city, so the streets are busy throughout the day.
She also argued to retain ageing buildings and mix them with the new. Older buildings not only connect with history and provide character, but they are generally cheaper to rent or buy. This allows a broader range of businesses and housing to co-exist.
Jacobs' work led to a new appreciation of why a diverse mix of uses does not lead to chaos, but to a more developed form of order. What she advocated was organized complexity, rather than either simplicity or disorganized complexity. Wanchai provides a good example of this where the imposed simplicity north of Connaught Road stands in stark contrast to the spontaneous diversity to the south.
Well-functioning urban areas spring from "human action" not "human design." Perhaps Jacobs's greatest contribution is her view that it is precisely the diversity and occasional anarchy of great cities that makes them great; diversity should be encouraged rather than tidied away by zoning regulations that pay little regard to the consequences. Jacobs was a grass roots social activist, but a profound believer of the "spontaneous order."
In contrast to those ideas, the public housing projects that have been very much in style everywhere since the 1950s and 1960s are largely income sorted. They are built specifically for lower income people. Income sorting tends to encourage insular neighborhoods; the labeling effect creates a polarizing perception of "us versus them" that reduces cross-traffic and sources of diversity, and ultimately leads to fewer retail businesses as they thrive in a diverse environment that crosses income divides.
The only saving virtue of public rental housing estates in Hong Kong is that in the first 20 years of the program, they were built in urban areas and most tenants were resettled squatters who were not means tested. The stigma of low income housing became increasingly stuck over time when the predominant reason why people were admitted into the estates was the lack of means. This coincided with the location of estates in far off satellite towns that are socially and culturally isolated and, in the past 20 years, with an increasing number of single-parent households.
Jacobs's simple and cogent point is that successful neighborhoods are ones that win the loyalty of their residents by making them want to stay and improve their environment rather than move on at the first opportunity. For this and other reasons (chiefly to address the wide gulf in propertied assets between the "haves" and "have-nots"), I have advocated the privatization of public housing estates so that those who stay can feel they belong to the community and feel proud to contribute to its improvement. I have always thought it conceited to regard public housing estates as a sort of purgatory from which those who redeem themselves can move onto the Homeownership Schemes provided by the Housing Authority.
Urban development in big vibrant cities undergoes continual change and must evolve with the ebb and flow of city life. It must not be welded to rigid master plans. Jacobs believed that some of our popular conceptions of ideal urban planning, like zoning and sorting housing by income, are not only wrong but actively destructive to large cities.
In this century, Hong Kong will experience massive and rapid changes in the demographic structure of our population that are unprecedented in modern history (Japan excepted). It is imperative our city embrace flexible market solutions to avoid isolating our low-income elderly population and our young children (especially those in single-parent households) in public housing estates in remote areas. If half the people in our society live as serfs, then our politics and economics will increasingly become hopelessly divided.

The fastest eight swimmers from the open 50m heats progress to the final in the evening session.
Round 5 : – the final 2 go head to head to produce a winner.
Round one is seeded as a final. Surviving swimmers from each round remain in their allocated lanes throughout until only two remain; in the final round the last two swimmers compete in lanes 4 and 5.
Round one starts under normal starting procedures. Only times set in round one count as accredited times for future events. Rounds 2- 5 start at three minute intervals.
For rounds 2-5, the starter gives a warning whistle 10 seconds prior to the next start. The signal to start will then sound without any verbal commands.
Swimmers starting before the starting signal or breaching the stroke rules will be disqualified with all remaining swimmers progressing to the next round. Where there are two or more disqualifications in any single round, elimination of the swimmer finishing last will be suspended until the number of disqualifications are accounted for, ensuring that 5 rounds will be completed.
FINA start and stroke rules apply to all starts and strokes.
The men's and women's event will alternate each evening. This will give the effect of a leg starting every 90 seconds.
