When Snowboarding Came to Whistler
Looking at Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains today, it is hard to imagine there was ever a time when snowboarders weren't allowed to ride on the mountains. For over a decade, skiers were all you would find in the Whistler valley, until Blackcomb Mountain became the first of our local mountains to welcome snowboarders in the winter of 1988/89 (Whistler Mountain followed suit the next season).
Blackcomb soon became the freestyle snowboard mountain. Before the first terrain park was built in 1993, Stu Osbourne, who started working for the mountain in 1990, recalls snowboarders and skiers taking air off of the wind lip on a glacier. "That's where I first saw the first photos of Ross Rebagliati and Doug Lungren. I think he was one of the guys back then that did one of the biggest air ever off the wind lip," said Osbourne.

Rebagliati began with skiing and was a ski racer with the Grouse Mountain Tyees. While in high school, a couple of his friends convinced him to try snowboarding. "I started to snowboard before we were 'allowed' to snowboard," said Rebagliati. He defined the culture at the time as "underground." When snowboarders were finally officially welcomed on Blackcomb Mountain in 1988, he came up from Vancouver with some friends on opening day and was one of the first snowboarders to ride the chairlift on Blackcomb.

In 1987, when Rebagliati was 16, he had attended the first ever snowboarding camp in Canada. The camp was led by Craig Kelly, who Rebagliati depicted as the Gretsky of snowboarding. At the camp, Kelly's recognition of his talent gave Rebagliati the confidence he needed to pursue the sport seriously, including joining the Burton team.
Snowboarding took off through the 1990s and the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan were the first to include snowboarding. By then a Whistler local, Ross Rebagliati became the winner of the first Olympic gold medal for snowboarding, beating out the silver medal winner by .02 seconds in the men's Giant Slalom event. His win, however, became uncertain when a urine sample returned to him. He insisted that he only inhaled second hand smoke and didn't actually smoke at all himself before the competition.
Rebagliati pulled out of World Cup racing not too longer after his Olympic win and didn't compete in the 2002 Olympics. He spent time working on media projects, launching his own snowboard, and building a home in Whistler that he described as "the house that snowboarding bought."

Over the past three decades, snowboarding has become firmly established as part of the Whistler community and many celebrated snowboarders have trained on both Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains. The museum, however, is lacking information about the sport and athletes in our collection, perhaps because snowboarding is still thought of as quite a young sport.
If you have any snowboardings stories you'd like to share, please come see us at the museum! We're looking for personal accounts, photographs, artefacts, and more to fill the gap in our collection and ensure that the snowboarding history of Whistler is as well documented as the valley's history of skiing.

Cameras and Museums: How Photographs Help Preserve History
No one can deny that Whistler is an extremely photogenic place. With the valley's majestic mountains, clear blue lakes, and abundant wildlife, it has been a beautiful getaway for lovers of the outdoors for over a century. Many changes have taken place over those years, and the Whistler Museum and Archives Society (WMAS) is fortunate to have an extensive photo collection that documents most of it. It is amazing how much the valley has changed over the decades, and the ability to actually see the differences through photographs is a great asset for the preservation of Whistler's history.

If any of you follow the Whistler Museum on social media, you know that we have some very interesting photos in our archives. One of our largest photo collections is the Greg Griffith Collection. Greg Griffith is an Australian-born photographer who moved to Whistler in 1973 to ski. He went on to have a successful careers in photography, showcasing Whistler's natural beauty and documenting over 30 years of Whistler's history. Donated to the Whistler Museum in 2009, the collection is made up of thousands of Whistler-related photographs, ranging in subject from skiing and snowboarding competitions, to mountain tours and dramatic scenery.
Another of the Museum's larger photo collections is the George Benjamin Collection, which was donated in 2010. George Benjamin is a semi-professional photographer, who moved to Whistler in 1970 after staying in Toad Hall for a ski vacation. He co-owned a well-known cabin called Tokum Corners until the 1980s and opened a photography store called the Photo Cell in Creekside, following after his family members, who owned a photo-finishing business in Ontario. He lived in Whistler until the 1980s, and took many impressive photographs of the area during his time here.

The Museum is also proud to house the Philip Collection, which includes photographs taken during the Rainbow Lodge era. These photos illustrate the beauty of Whistler while it was still an undeveloped fishing retreat, and offer an interesting comparison between the Whistler Valley of the early- to mid-nineteenth century, and the Whistler of today.

There are so many other aspects of the WMAS photo collection that we won't be able to cover in this article, but they all play an enormous part in illustrating the valley's colourful history. From early horseback riding trips, to present-day Crankworx festivals, the trusty camera is always there to help preserve our history. The WMAS collection currently includes over 170,000 photographs, which may seem like a lot, but we are always looking for more. We are especially eager for photographs related to snowboarding and mountain biking in Whistler, photographs documenting life as mountain staff members, as well as photographs from the 1990s to the present. With the tenth anniversary of the Olympics coming up, we're hoping to expand our Olympic photographs collection, too. Any photographs related to Whistler are extremely useful, though, and if you're interested in donating to the Museum, please get in contact with us! You can send an email to our archivist, Alyssa Bruijns, at archives @ whistlermuseum.org. We would love to be able to add your photos and stories to the larger Whistler narrative.
If you're interested in viewing part of our photo collection, you can go to www.whistlermuseum.smugmug.com, where you can order prints of any archival photo we have digitized. You can also follow us on Facebook or Instagram, where we often feature photographs from the WMAS collection.

Snow Expectations
Recently Whistler Blackcomb announced the first snowfall of the season on the mountains and it has many thinking about what the winter will look like this season. Snow is always a major topic of conversation in Whistler, as we can see by looking back on previous years.
In 1972, Garibaldi's Whistler News noted that the snowfall in the valley was a record high at 943 cm, and according to their Fall 1972 issue "there was snow covering the mountain tops mid-September and it looks like another year for early skiing." The average snowfall in the years leading up to 1972 was recorded at 12.8 m.
Unsurprising for a town built on skiing, snowfall has been the talk of the town in Whistler for decades. Benjamin Collection.
This wasn't the case for every year, however. In 1976, the winter ski season was off to a sluggish start. A lot of rainfall and sunny weather in November caused the snow on the mountain to melt, thereby pushing back the opening of the mountain. The Whistler Question reported in December that employees were let go or not hired due to the lack of snow, leaving about 25 fewer people working for Whistler Mountain. This also affected the number of tourists that came in to town and had an impact on the economy. Whistler Mountain was able to open for the Christmas holidays, but all skiers had to download using the gondola. In February 1977, the first snow gun was obtained for Whistler Mountain to help combat the lack of snow.
Luckily, the next winter, 1977/78, was "marked with the return of good snowfalls and a good season for the ski school," as reported by the Whistler Question.

Winter came early again in 1981 as Blackcomb Mountain announced it would be opening a week earlier than planned, while Whistler Mountain remained closed until the scheduled opening on November 26.
El Nino was blamed for the warmest winter of record in 1992 by then Blackcomb president Hugh Smythe, as reported in the Blackcomb Mountain Staff News.
There was a feeling of déjà-vu in 1995/96, as rain affected the beginning of ski season and workers were laid off. American Thanksgiving usually marks the beginning of skiing but that year Whistler Mountain's alpine didn't have a sufficient base of snow, while Blackcomb was pumping water out of its snow guns and hoping the freezing level would drop enough to make snow. Blackcomb Mountain opened on the US Thanksgiving weekend, but with only a limited number of lifts and trails.
A Whistler wonderland appeared overnight Sunday, October 17 with the season's first snow in the valley. Whistler Question Collection, 1982.
Once again, a slow opening was followed the next year by great snowfalls. Meteorologist Marilyn Manso in December 1996 said, "by mid-December we've had more snow on the ground than at any time since records were kept." There was 74 cm of snow on the ground in the valley at this time in December, compared with the previous year of 34 cm.
The first week in December 2001 brought about 1.2 m of snow on the mountains, which allowed for half of Whistler Blackcomb terrain to be open. This was more than any other ski resort in North America at that time, and allowed for the snow guns to be moved lower on the mountain and provide ski-out access.
Last winter also got off to a slow start, so let's hope that this season brings great snowfalls.

Building Glacier Park
Earlier this month, Whistler Blackcomb (WB) began a rezoning process with the goal of constructing a new six-storey building with 60 units of employee housing to join the seven existing staff housing buildings on the Glacier Lane site. Consisting of two-bedroom units, each about 40 square metres in size, this proposed housing will be very similar, if a bit newer than, the first four buildings originally built by Blackcomb Ski Enterprise and Canadian Pacific (CP) Hotels in 1988.
The first hint of the project came at the beginning of January 1988, when Blackcomb received permission to convert the administration offices of its old daylodge into temporary employee housing. To assuage concerns from council that the housing might not remain temporary, Gary Raymond, Blackcomb's vice-president of finance, mentioned that Blackcomb and CP Hotels, the owners of the then-under-construction Chateau Whistler Resort, would be bringing a joint proposal for permanent employee housing to council in the next few weeks.
References to the "Financial Wizard" in the Blackcomb newsletter usually included a drawing of said wizard. Blabcomb
The proposal was for four buildings, each with 48 two-bedroom units, to be built over two years. When finished the buildings would house almost 400 people; at the time, Blackcomb had roughly 500 employees and the Chateau was expected to employ about 350. Due to a severe shortage of housing, the plan changed, and all four buildings were to be constructed over the summer of 1988 in time for employees to arrive in October.
The Blackcomb/CP Hotels Glacier Lane project was not the only employee housing project underway. That summer projects with the Whistler Valley Housing Society (WVHS) were also being constructed or proposed at Nordic Court and Eva Lake Road.

All of these projects hit some snags over the summer, though the Glacier Lane project may have been the most visible. The buildings were higher and more visible than expected and Letters to the Editor were published in The Whistler Question referring to the construction as a "massive box" that could be seen from any point in the valley north of the Village. In July, Mayor Drew Meredith even called the visibility of the project "a worthwhile mistake," while pointing out that the developers were trying to mitigate the visibility of the buildings through landscaping.
Before the buildings could officially open on September 19, 1988, they first had to be named. A contest was announced in the Blabcomb newsletter and employees were invited to name both the development as a whole and the individual buildings. The contest was won by David Small, who proposed to call the development Glacier Park, with each building named for a glacier: Horstman, Overlord, Spearhead and Decker.

At the grand opening, Blackcomb president Hugh Smythe recalled his own years spent living in employee housing while working for Whistler Mountain, saying "I remember sleeping on the floor, on tables and in trailers," including one trailer, known by many as "the ghetto." According to Smythe, the new units compared quite favourably to his own experiences, and certainly had a better view.
The first residents began moving in October 1. They were reportedly a mix of Blackcomb employees, including employees of Alta Lake Foods who provided food services for the mountain, and CP Hotel construction workers. Most of the CP Hotel employees would not move in until the Chateau Whistler Resort opened in late 1989.
By the end of November, the Blabcomb reported that all units had been filled, with people either already moved in or with rooms committed to incoming employees, and a waiting list had already been started. They were also able to report that, partly due to his work managing the housing project, Gary Raymond had been awarded one of the Whistler Chamber of Commerce's first "Business Person of the Year" awards, along with Lorne Borgal of Whistler Mountain. According to the Blabcomb, the project had been a great success.

Welcoming Fall to Whistler
In may technically still be (and at times even feel) like summer, but for many people the beginning of September signals the beginning of fall. While many people will have spent this weekend celebrating a certain beverage at the Whistler Beer Festival, in the 1980s this past weekend would have featured a celebration of the upcoming season with the Whistler Fall Festival.
The Fall Festival was first organized by the Whistler Resort Association (WRA, now known as Tourism Whistler) in 1981. At the time, the Whistler Village was beginning to emerge from a craze of construction and Blackcomb Mountain was looking forward to its second season of operations. There was a lot to celebrate in Whistler and the festival featured many of the growing community's arts, crafts, sports, and activities.
The Fall Festival also included a Paint a Snowflake contest, leaving the fences around construction sites covered in snowflakes. Whistler Mountain Ski Corporation Collection.
One of the local characters showcased at the Fall Festival was Willie Whistler, the new mascot of the WRA. Willie's name came from a "Name the Whistler Marmot" contest for children in the area in which the winner, eight-year-old Tammi Wick, won a Blackcomb season pass. The mascot was created to promote Whistler at local and other events and the Fall Festival, which included time each day to "Meet Willie Whistler," was his first big event.

The festival also featured local artists and artisans who demonstrated their crafts in the village, including pottery, fibre spinning, stained glass, and painting. Performers over the weekend included acts such as Evan Kemp and the Trail Riders, the Alpini Band, and local favourite Doc Fingers, as well as dance performances and Bo Bo the Clown.
For visitors and residents alike, the Fall Festival offered different ways to see the Whistler valley. Snowgoose Transportation offered free 50 minute bus tours, showing off everything from residential areas to the gondola base in Creekside to the Blackcomb daylodge. To see the valley from above, participants could enjoy a flight from Okanagan Helicopters, take advantage of Blackcomb Mountain's offer of free chairlift rides, or, subject to wind conditions, go up in Chuck Bump's hot air balloon, billed at the festival as the "World's Largest Hot Air Balloon."

Perhaps not surprisingly, sports and competitions also featured prominently at the Fall Festival. Spectators could take in volleyball, Pro/Celebrity tennis matches that paired pro players with notables from politics, business, and media, a softball game between the Whistler Contractors Association and the Whistler A's, or even a parachuting demonstration. For those looking to compete, the Waiters Race challenged Whistler's servers to run a timed obstacle course without spilling a drop, and the Labatt's Great Whistler Water Race relay covered four lakes and the River of Golden Dreams through canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and windsurfing.
A softball game was fun for participants and spectators. Whistler Mountain Ski Corporation Collection.
Though the Fall Festival was primarily about showcasing Whistler, it also raised money for several different causes. On the Sunday, Whistler hosted a run as part of the first national Terry Fox Run, raising over $7,600. The proceeds from a beer garden hosted by the Whistler Athletic Society that evening were also donated towards cancer research.
Local causes benefited as well. The WRA donated enough funds from the Village Centre beer garden to replace the snowmobile of the Alta Lake Sports Club that had been destroyed in a fire. Umberto Menghi, who was then opening his new restaurant Il Caminetto, contributed to the festival by both providing the firework display for the Saturday evening and hosting a gala dinner at Myrtle Philip School to benefit the Whistler Health Care Society.
If you look really closely, Chuck Bump's balloon also featured some advertising for local restaurants. Whistler Mountain Ski Corporation.
According to Glenda Bartosh of The Whistler Question, the first Fall Festival was about far more than raising money and generating revenue for the resort. She reported that the festival "created laughter, high energy and a true appreciation of what Whistler is all about." The WRA must have agreed, as they continued to organize the Fall Festival for at least three more years.

Whistler's Skateboarding Story
Nestled along the Valley Trail near Fitzsimmons Creek, the Whistler Skate Park is a popular summer hangout for skateboarders and board sport enthusiasts.
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, surfing's popularity began to skyrocket in California, and would eventually go on to influence North America's youth culture with the music, films, philosophies, and attitudes that are now associated with the sport. Skateboarding, or sidewalk surfing as it was then known, grew out of the surfing culture during this time, and became something to do when surfing conditions were less-than-optimal.
In the early days of the Whistler Skate Park, roller blades could be found as well. Whistler Question Collection, 1993.
Skateboarding's popularity increased during this period, expanding out of California surf shops to any place around the world that had cement or asphalt. In 1976, the world's first purpose-built skatepark opened: Carlsbad Skatepark in Southern California. This was soon followed by the Albany Snake Run in Albany, Western Australia. Both areas had strong links to surfing culture.
Surfing and skateboarding had an immense influence on the development of snowboarding; one of the first snowboard products, the Snurfer, invented in the late 1960s in Michigan, allowed riders to essentially surf on snow. Over the next 20 years, snowboarding evolved and expanded and by the late 1980s started to become a fixture in Whistler, specifically on Blackcomb Mountain.
The Whistler Skate Park, 1995. Whistler Question Collection, 1995.
Olympic gold medal winner Ross Rebagliati was the first snowboarder allowed to ride the Blackcomb lifts. The new sport found its home early in our valley, he said. "When we were first allowed to snowboard here, they did not just sell us the tickets and say, 'that's it.' They embraced the whole idea, the culture. They took the initiative to build snowboard parks and created things specifically designed for snowboarders."
In 1991, the original Whistler Skate Park was constructed and includes the snake run and bowl that are still present today. Designed by Monty Little and Terry Snider, it integrated elements that they had developed in other skate parks in West Vancouver and North Vancouver. These elements included large waves and shapes that would encourage speed and fluid, rounded movements, a nod to the surf-inspired approach to both snowboarding and skateboarding. Monty Little viewed the Whistler Skate Park as a functional sculpture, taking inspiration from the mountains and streams of the area.
In the late 1990s, the Whistler Skate Park saw its second round of development. This refurbishment was born out of safety concerns due to the original surface delaminating, as well as the changing style and approach boarders were taking to skateboarding. With support from then-Mayor Hugh O'Reilly, the Resort Municipality of Whistler and the skating community, new elements were added to the skate park that reflected the next generation of skateboarders. These included more street elements, such as rails and grindable steel edges, used for more technical tricks and manoeuvres.
The Skate Park signs, like the park itself, are well decorated. Whistler Question Collection, 1994.
With the latest expansion in 2016, the Whistler Skate Park has become the second largest in Canada with a total skateable area of more than 4,600 square metres (50,000 square feet). The Whistler Skate Park's popularity has made it one of Whistler's prominent summertime features.
The Whistler Skate Park is centrally located between the Village and Fitzsimmons Creek, and open daily from April to November.

Q: Do all object-oriented languages create a lot of duplicate information in memory? I am reading a book about JS and other web stuff now and that's what I encountered about the prototype keyword:

The prototype keyword can save you a lot of memory. In the User class, every instance will contain the three properties and the method. Therefore, if you have 1,000 of these objects in memory, the method showUser will also be replicated 1,000 times. However, because the method is identical in every case, you can specify that new objects should refer to a single instance of the method instead of creating a copy of it.

Don't any object-oriented language behaves just like this? I have read some books about C++, C# and never been told about that. I think it follows to create static methods in class and call them from not static methods, or it is not a problem in other languages and I should not even remember about that?

A: In C# and other statically typed langauges, the methods each class users are defined once and then each instantiation of that object refers only to the single definition. As such, there is no need for the same construct as the prototype in JS.

A: Prototypes is a very different way of doing OOP.
With this paradigm, objects contain both code and data. That's why if you duplicate your objects thousands of times, there will be thousands of copies of the methods. In the more common inheritance paradigm, classes only have a reference to their methods, the method is outside the objects.
Very few languages follow this paradigm, but Javascript is one of them. Most OOP languages, like C# or C++, don't have the kind of prototypes you're talking about, so they don't have this particular problem.

Gold Rolex WatchLuxury watches
Rolex Sky Dweller 18K Yellow Gold Men watch
WatchShop January 31, 2019 70 0
Rolex Sky Dweller – here is one of the most popular watches among celebrities and influential people. Jay-Z is a great fan of this model, as he has worn this model on several occasions. What makes it so famous and wanted?
From the beginning we can see that Sky Dweller has caused some small controversy because it seems to hold the title of the most complex Rolex watch. From the point of view of mechanical complexity only Yacht-Master II can rival it.
The Rolex Sky Dweller 18K Yellow Gold Men watch is one of the most luxurious timepieces in the world.
It was launched in 2012, worn only in precious metals. In 2017, Rolex launched two more versions of Sky-Dweller under Rolesor, the company's own term, which describes the mix of steel and white or yellow gold. Since that moment, Sky-Dweller has become more accessible.
The Rolex Sky Dweller is a luxury watch with unique technical details. It keeps all the elements specific to the brand, it is a splendid and unmistakable model.
It is fully plated with 18 Karat golden gold, covered with sapphire glass, it has a detail-rich dial, a comfortable bracelet and complex functions extremely useful especially for those who often travel around the world.
The current month is indicated by the presence of a red rectangle around the dial. It automatically adjusts the date and time by location, which means you do not have to do this manually. Higher efficiency is justified by the revolutionary mechanism. It displays the date and year in two time zones format.
One of its main features is functionality. Sky Dweller is a lasting, extremely practical watch, easy to use and wear regardless of the conditions and environment.
Sky-Dweller is also a combination of two main functions: dual-time zones or GMT complication and annual calendar. The first function is that the watch displays the time in two time zones at the same time. It has a pointer that can be set independently, forward or backward. The second function is specific to authentic GMT watches and it refers to the fact that the pointer is adjustable from the dial and it can be reset to a new time zone without completely stopping it.
These features make Sky-Dweller the perfect watch for those who travel and often change the time zone.
In its turn, the annual calendar, a recent innovation for handheld watches, has some major advantages compared to the annual calendar – it is less complex from a mechanical point of view and less subject to using errors.
Rolex Sky-Sweller is presented in a solid, consistent and durable case with a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 14 mm. It is made of the same 18K yellow gold, which makes the watch look like a unitary artwork, extremely pleasant and tactile. This is one of the most solid carcasses on Rolex watches.
ROLEX CALIBRE 9001 automatic motion refers to a premium Swiss standard and is amazing from a technical perspective. The motion uses the annual calendar system called SAROS, a revolutionary planetary mechanism inspired by the regular alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth.
The Sky-Dweller is equipped with calibre 9001, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Protected by seven patents, it is one of the most complex calibres ever developed by the brand. Its architecture, manufacturing quality and innovative features make it singularly precise and reliable.
Ring Command Bezel
It is a specific Rolex feature, a highly advanced component that helps the user set up more functions.
Protected by 14 patents and one of the most complex Rolex watches thanks to the GMT and the annual calendar, Sky Dweller is a true horological masterpiece and a spectacular original jewel.

Konami's 1992 arcade classic, X-MEN, was recently released on the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network in HD. Re-releasing classic arcade games on XBLA has been a growing trend the last few years but is X-MEN a worthy port or is this one game that should have stayed in the 90's?
Ha I loved that game!

Q: How to create different .cs files Is there a way in WPF for the events (such as Click) to have the method in a different .cs file rather than the MainWindow.xaml.cs (for instance)? In other words, when i go to select the mouse down event and double click on it to write the method - the method appears in MainWindow.xaml.cs .. is there a way to redirect this to another file? I would need access to all of the attributes/fields that i use (such as textboxes, buttons etc) that are on the MainWindow.....
In my MainWindow.xaml, I' have methods dealing with gotFocus and lostFocus etc. I don't want to be dealing with sockets and connection within the same file (as I feel that is bad design).  Correct me if I'm wrong.

A: If you really wanted to, you could create a Partial Class
 to put your event handlers in. It will still be part of the MainWindow class, but it will be in a different file.
That said, a better design would be to move your code for dealing with sockets and connections out into its own class or classes, while leaving the event handling code in MainWindow.xaml.cs. Partial classes aren't really the right tool to use in this case, IMO.

A: it sounds like what you want to do is use a MVVM design pattern (WPF lends itself very nicely to this, BTW).
here is a good article on MSDN,here is one by Josh Smith, and a google will reveal much more
it sounds like you need to look into commanding as well

A: If your notion is to remove the dependency between the UI and Codebehind then probably the best idea, since you are using WPF is MVVM pattern. So you that your view doesn't have to know about what is happening when you click on the button etc. Or else you can event think about ICommand  to separate the commanding from your code behind. exactly something like @Mead'Dib  has recommended.
The other area which you can explore is to think about something like Command Pattern where you can separate the Receiver and invoker. So that you are not tightly coupled with the code behind. So just think about using some kind of pattern that will make you safe when maintenance issues there.

The Island of Hawaii is known colloquially as "Big Island." This is a fitting nickname, for the Island is twice the combined size of its neighboring counterparts! Big Island flaunts its colors like the plumes of a peacock: fierce reds of magma from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park contrast spectacularly with the bright white snow of Maunakea, while the electric black sands of Punaluu Beach stream into the emerald green of Hamakua Coast's rainforests. Let Big Island's significance as the birthplace of King Kamehameha I serve as a prelude to all of its wonders.
Most stores are open daily 9.30am - 9pm or later. Most bars and clubs close around 2am.
While Hawaii Island may be the youngest island in the archipelago, it retains its prominence as the first island to be touched by man. Coming in the form of Polynesian voyagers from the Marquesas Islands 1,500 years ago, they would become the first Hawaiians. Native Hawaiian temple ruins, royal grounds, fish ponds, sacred burial spots, and petroglyphs all remain as evidence of this early culture. And Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park also retains many areas and items of historical significance.
Throughout Hawaii's era of discovery, Hawaii Island was divided among chiefdoms, leading to frequent skirmishes and contention between the factions. It was during this time that the last major religious "heiau" temple was built. In constructing a tribute to the war god Kukailimoku, King Kamehameha I hoped to bolster his efforts in uniting the Hawaiian Islands. He would go on to conquer the island and indeed unite the Kingdom. The temple is now the Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site in North Kohala, and there are also statues and dedications to the Great King Kamehameha around Hawaii Island.
Over the next centuries, Hawaii Island would be influenced by the influx of missionaries, along with a roaring sugar industry. Today's Big Island continues as a cornerstone for the Hawaiian Islands' beauty, culture, and eternal elegance.
The Big Island is not only the largest island in Hawaii, it also has an active volcano to amaze visitors with an unparalleled view of the Earth in action. It is only one of the many natural and historical sites that enthuse visitors to the island annually.
Big Island restaurants include small family friendly seafood spots and exquisite resort fine dining. No matter where you go, you will be greeted by the welcoming island attitude and delicious food you will find nowhere else on the planet.
100% pure Kona coffee is a rare commodity exclusively grown in north and south Kona. The high elevation, constant cloud coverage and rich volcanic soil from Hualalai Volcano in the upland slopes of Kona create an ideal coffee experience to cherish. As such, there are several coffee shops that are run by local roasters, as well as bakeries selling delights you will only find on the island.
Big Island has a sleepier, more laid-back vibe than other Hawaiian islands, but that doesn't mean that the nightlife is dead. The resorts host night-time activities and events to keep guests busy, and a handful of bustling bars can be found around the island. Art is also alive and vibrant in small playhouses and movie theaters, some of which screen indie and foreign films, and there is always live music somewhere. And of course, the local specialty is the luau, a chance for visitors to experience the music and dances of the island, accompanied by fine food and finer company.
The numerous Big Island resorts all offer interesting options, as do the villages and downtown Kona. Even the touristy spots can be exciting, but, if you dig a little deeper, you can find some coveted local favourites and have a much more rewarding shopping experience. Especially appealing is the artwork and houseware made from local materials, such as lava rock and milo wood, which can be found in boutiques and galleries across the island.
The months from June to September are known for their warm weather and pleasant water temperatures. Rainfall is at its lowest during this time. If you are looking for more affordable flights and accommodation rates, you should visit Hawaii in September, October or November. Whale watching season also starts in November.
Two airports serve Hawaii Island: Kona International Airport (KOA) in Kona in the west, and Hilo International Airport (ITO) in Hilo in the east.
KOA services major airlines, including Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, GO! Mokulele, Hawaiian Airlines, Island Air, United Airlines, US Airways and Westjet. KOA is accessible by car, taxi and shuttle, with The Hawaii County Mass Transit Agency Hele-On bus operating a limited service between the airport and Kailua-Kona town.
ITO services GO!, Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines. ITO is accessible by car and taxi without public transportation available.
The Hawaii County Mass Transit Agency provides public transportation around Big Island on the Hele-On bus. Additionally, the Transit Agency offers a Shared Ride Taxi program which provides door-to-door transportation within the urbanized area of Hilo.

Miss Emily Brown and Corwin Fox caught in a promo shot for their new album: 'All of My Lakes Lay Frozen Over'.
Morlove kicked-off their Mainland cross Canadian tour at Little Mountain Gallery around the corner from Main Street on East 26th Avenue. Morlove, a new project, is Corwin Fox and Miss Emily Brown. Corwin owns a studio in Cumberland, and in Fox's opinion, a cross Canadian tour is the best way to seed their recordings.
"Recordings are two-dimensional, but a live performance is four-dimensional because you experience the music in a space along with the artists' personality and feelings. You can sense the background of each song, even if the performer doesn't introduce the song with verbal context". Fox also wants to have fun, he says, adding that it's been a long time since he's been to Halifax.
The duo has been preparing themselves for their upcoming events by hanging out for a week or so, "singing a lot of songs". Emily recently concluded a long solo tour, so she spent a good two days straight swinging in a hammock (so much she still feels like she is swinging).
Cheryl MacKay of CBC Radio One's North By Northwest has acted as a great supporter of Morlove. The Morlove album was recorded on a Canada Council for the Arts Grant, which has now been canned. Fox would love to hear a one hour special of the historic albums recorded on this grant-- maybe then people would realize how valuable the grant was to our culture.
When in Vancouver, Miss Emily Brown frequents Main Street's Sweet Revenge, a dessert place for "small people with big appetites". She gets the 'Smooth Operator', a layered cake with fruit and other goodness.
Corwin Fox played a show with Behind Sapphire, the subject of last week's album review, less than a month ago, on Vancouver Island. It demonstrates what a tight musical community we have in BC since their relationship was only discovered through this interview.
East Van's Jess Hill opened for Morlove at Little Mountain.

Q: how can i delete git from $PATH or change path so that it no longer contains it (macOS) I have recently updated git and it has changed my path to
/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/matthew/git
I try to use composer and execute files and I get the error
env: php: No such file or directory.
when
I reset the path back to
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
everything works fine and composer loads but the only thing is it automatically sets the path back to /usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/matthew/git in a matter of seconds after me doing what I need to do.
i thought the path would stay and go back to the original one i reset it to but it auto reverts back to the git one
Is there any way i can fix this without having to reinstall the operating system? and keep the path as PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" i have been stuck on this for two days i just want rid of git

A: you should update your .bash_profile file
you can check this guide for futher details

A: @funkyjelly thanks but this was still no good ended up having to reinstall the operating system and install git via home brew and the problem with the path was solved

Maya Angelou: April 4th, 1928 - May 28th, 2014
Sat, May 31, 2014, 02:00
Maya Angelou: when asked exactly how many times she had been married she declined to be specific, 'for fear of sounding frivolous'. photograph: Gerald Herbert/AP
The writer Maya Angelou, who has died aged 86, won acclaim for her first autobiographical memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), a scathing indictment of the racial discrimination she experienced as a child in Arkansas and California.
The book is also a celebration of the strength and integrity of black women such as Angelou's grandmother, who enforced the respect of white adults and endured the impudence of white children.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, which gives a sympathetic and compassionate account of a beleaguered black community while humorously dramatising Angelou's need to find self-fulfilment outside it, has had a wide appeal and continues to appear on school and university reading lists. The critic Harold Bloom noted that Angelou achieved with the book "an almost unique tone that blends intimacy and detachment, a tone indeed of assured serenity that transcends the fearful humiliations and outrages that she suffered as a girl".
She was born Marguerite Annie Johnson in St Louis, Missouri, the daughter of Bailey Johnson, a naval dietician, and Vivian (nee Baxter), a nurse, professional gambler, bar owner and entertainer. The name Maya was given to her by her brother, also Bailey. When her parents separated, her father sent three-year-old Maya and her brother to live with his strong-willed and deeply religious mother, Annie Henderson, in the small, segregated town of Stamps, Arkansas. Raped as a child When she was seven, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend. This traumatic incident, recorded in her autobiography, and the man's subsequent murder, for which she felt responsible, led her to stop speaking for five years. She was encouraged to read works by black authors and later persuaded by a local educated black woman, Bertha Flowers, to read aloud from the works of Austen, Dickens, Shakespeare and various poets. She thus acquired a love and appreciation of the spoken word which informed her writing and her performances of her own and other people's works.
Angelou was later taken by her mother to San Francisco, where she attended high school. Aged 14 she ran away, but later returned and finished her education. She also took lessons in dance and drama, gave birth to a son and worked as a streetcar conductor, a dancer and a cook in restaurants and hamburger joints.
In her early 20s, she was married briefly to a former sailor and aspiring musician, Anastasios Angelopulos, from whom she was to borrow her professional name. She trained as a dancer with Martha Graham and in the mid-1950s toured Europe with a production of Porgy and Bess. Back in New York she appeared off-Broadway, met the writer James Baldwin, joined the Harlem Writers' Guild and became involved in the civil rights movement.
In 1961, she moved with the civil rights activist Vusumzi Maketo to Cairo, where she worked for the Arab Observer. Later she moved with her son, Guy, to Ghana, taught at the University of Ghana and worked for the African Review. Here she met the pan-African activist Malcolm X. After his assassination in 1965 she began to work more closely with Martin Luther King. When King himself was assassinated in 1968 she was devastated.
Friends such as Baldwin encouraged her to begin writing, and in 1969 she completed I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. A further six volumes of memoir were to follow between 1974 and 2013. A bible and a bottle She once described her writing regime thus: "I keep a hotel room in which I do my work - a tiny, mean room with just a bed, and sometimes, if I can find it, a face basin. I keep a dictionary, a bible, a deck of cards and a bottle of sherry in the room. I try to get there around seven, and work until around two in the afternoon."
Angelou vigorously disassociated herself from Anglo-American feminism, which she felt lacked an appreciation of the importance of love and humour. She was nevertheless an outspoken advocate of what she called "womanism", a quality combining strength, endurance and innate dignity that she found particularly in black women. She wrote and delivered a poem for Bill Clinton's presidential inauguration in January 1993 and campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential primaries, and thereafter for Barack Obama.
Angelou published more than 10 volumes of poetry, composed songs and wrote or co-wrote the scripts for more than a dozen plays, films and television programmes.
She also appeared in the TV mini-series Roots and had roles in films such as Poetic Justice and How to Make an American Quilt. In 1973 she married Paul du Feu; they were divorced in 1981. When asked, she was reluctant to specify how many times she had actually been married – "for fear of sounding frivolous", she said. She is survived by her son, Guy.

Weekend Links: Trucker blames victim in Chinese video, and registration opens for Finish the Ride 2015
December 27, 2014 / bikinginla / One comment
Perspective is everything.
Recently, we linked to a horrifying security cam video of a Chinese bike rider being run over by a massive semi-truck; fortunately, the victim miraculously survived, apparently unscathed.
To a bike rider, it seems pretty obvious that the truck overtook the rider before right-hooking him.
Yet from a trucker's perspective, it's the cyclist's fault for riding into the truck's blind spot, and not looking over his shoulder before crossing the intersection.
And if that doesn't scare the crap out of you, it should.
Because far too many people excuse dangerous driving and instead blame the victims; the writer even acknowledges that the truck driver never seemed to notice the cyclist on the road directly in front of his truck as he turned.
Yet somehow, it's the rider's fault.
It shouldn't be up to the rest of us to stay the hell out of the way of the big dangerous machines.
Thanks to Michael Eisenberg for the heads-up.
It's happened again.
An Oregon driver faces manslaughter charges after hitting a man crossing a busy street, then driving 11 blocks with the dying victim on the roof of her car before stopping to dump his body and flee the scene.
At least this time it wasn't a cyclist. Not that it makes it any better.
'Tis the season.
Fontana groups give new bikes to over 200 low income kids. Four hundred bicyclists take part in the second annual Riverside Christmas Ride. Volunteers in National City donate dozens of bikes to kids in the community.
Santa Cruz police replace a bike stolen from a middle school girl who had earned it by making good grades. Los Banos police donate seven refurbished bikes to fourth and fifth graders. Eighty-five Oroville kids get refurbished bikes in an annual giveaway program from the local sheriff's office.
Chicago bike messengers help deliver over 1,000 toys donated to the Marines' Toys for Tots program. And a North Carolina man gives more than a thousand new and refurbished bikes to kids.
Registration is now open for the 2015 edition of Finish the Ride, now billed as a Ride, Run, Walk 'N Roll, to call attention the epidemic of hit-and-run and make the streets safer for all of us.
Last year's event had a huge turnout, and this year's on April 19th event promises to be even bigger and better, with more options and more challenging courses available.
And yes, I plan to see you there.
Rick Risemberg says you're not so special anymore, because more of them are becoming us.
The LACBC is asking for your signature on a petition to create a world-class Beverly Hills Greenway on Santa Monica Blvd through the Biking Black Hole, instead of keeping it the same dangerous street it is now, as city officials seems to prefer. And yes, I've signed it.
Streetsblog wants your help determining the city's Livable Streets Business of the Year; personally, I'd throw the extremely bike-friendly Timbuk2 store in Venice into the mix, as well.
A petition urges Governor Jerry Brown to amend state law to allow drivers to briefly cross a double center line when safe to do so in order to pass a cyclist. Brown previously vetoed an earlier version of the state's three-foot passing law because it contained that exact provision. Thanks to Megan Lynch for the link.
Riverside officials discuss a possible pedestrian bridge over Highway 91; it's not clear if it would be open to bikes, as well.
Palm Springs is scheduled to become more bike friendly next year, including 250 miles of marked bike lanes.
A Santa Barbara cyclist suffered head injuries when she was hit by a car; for a change, police respond by urging everyone to slow down.
Sad news from Santa Cruz, as a bike rider was run down from behind and killed by a hit-and-run driver; it takes until the second paragraph of the story for the local TV station to acknowledge that the truck was not acting on its own. Thanks to John McBrearty for the tip.
A Calaveras woman's bike is stolen six weeks before a planned cross-country ride, so she decides to backpack through Oregon, instead.
Honolulu struggles to keep drivers from parking in a new protected bike lane; it might help if they moved the parking meters next to the cars instead of leaving them on the curb next to the bike lane.
Bike lawyer Bob Mionske talks bike light requirements, at least as they apply in Oregon; most of what he says applies here, as well.
New York district attorneys prove to be the weak link in the city's Vision Zero plan.
A British Columbia court awards $100,000 to a cyclist injured by a road raging driver.
The man who would be king, Britain's Prince Charles, says streets must be reclaimed from cars.
A Danish study suggests hi-viz can reduce your risk of a collision nearly 50%.
Bike crashes are up in Melbourne, except on the city's most popular street for cyclists.
Bono brings the arm he shattered in a New York cycling collision out in public for the first time. Although it looks more like he's trying to hide it and himself from the paparazzi than trying to show off anything.
Thanks to Karen Scott for her extremely generous gift to help support this site.

PatrickGSR94 says:
It did not look to me like the truck overtook the cyclist. Honestly there was not enough video at the start to know for sure which person overtook the other.
But the fact of that matter is that the incident was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT preventable by the cyclist. Continuing to advance up the right side as the truck is turning? That is absolutely asinine and suicidal. I hope the video serves as a stark reminder to cyclists how dangerous it is to try to overtake a large vehicle up the outside at an intersection, and also the inherent dangers posed by bike lanes that encourage (or even require) cyclists to go straight to the right of turning traffic.

Q: How to show different data with HTML5 and jQuery? I need a horizontal menu with four "click"-tabs. When I click on one it should show a table below the menu (see jsFidle: http://jsfiddle.net/SCKhf/576/). When I click on an other button it shows an other table, like in the jsFiddle.
I tried to put this into my homepage, but it does not work. It seems that the jQuery code has no function for any reason. I tried to implement the jQuery code in different ways (clear text in header / link to a js-file). Nothing works.
You can download the HTML5 homepage here. I added the fiddle, but it does not work: http://ge.tt/2itz9FC1/v/0?c (modified, 4 MB)
And here is a picture of my idea: http://justpic.info/images1/79be/example.jpg
Here is the code which is working in jsFiddle but NOT working when putting all the stuff into the homepage:
var open = $('.open'),
a = $('ul').find('a');

console.log(a.hasClass('active'));

open.click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var $this = $(this),
    speed = 0;
if($this.hasClass('active') === true) {
    $this.removeClass('active').next('.box').slideUp(speed);
} else if(a.hasClass('active') === false) {
    $this.addClass('active').next('.box').slideDown(speed);
} else {
    a.removeClass('active').next('.box').slideUp(speed);
    $this.addClass('active').next('.box').delay(speed).slideDown(speed);
}
});

A: Have a list of names all with class e.g. .names
Set .names to display:none
Give rookies class .rookie, amateurs .amateur etc.
Use jquery click to filter, so when click .amateurs $('.amateur').show();
Click show all $('.names').show();
Is this what you mean? I haven't coded as I'm not totally sure what you want to do.
CODE:
Basically it's this, v simple stuff (also added IDs to tabs which are clickable):
$( "#rookies" ).click(function() {
    $('.name').hide();
    $('.rookie').show();
});
$( "#amateurs" ).click(function() {
    $('.name').hide();
    $('.amateur').show();
});
$( "#showAll" ).click(function() {
    $('.name').show();
});

See it working here

Aberfeldy Distillery – destylarnia single malt whisky, znajdująca się w mieście Aberfeldy w Szkocji. Zakład mieści się tam, gdzie spotykają się najwyższe góry Perthshire, najgłębsze loch i najdłuższe glen, a historycznie i geograficznie w 'sercu Szkocji'.

Historia
Założycielem destylarni Aberfeldy jest spółka John Dewar & Sons, Ltd., zakład zbudowano w 1896, otwarto zaś w 1898. Aberfeldy powstała w początkach światowej ekspansji firmy Dewars, w czasie gdy firma zyskiwała światową popularność. John A. Dewar, syn założyciela Johna Dewara Seniora, zdał sobie sprawę, że by sprostać wysokim wymaganiom stawianym premium Scotch whisky, muszą jako gorzelnia zagwarantować najwyższą jakość produkowanej przez siebie single malt whisky i muszą jej dostarczać wielkie ilości. Jedynym rozwiązaniem dla obydwu braci było postawienie nowej destylarni, która sprosta ilościowym wymaganiom. Aberfeldy pokazała, że jako marka stała się dla firmy wielkim sukcesem.

Jednakże działania wojenne podczas I wojny światowej wstrzymały dostawy jęczmienia i w latach 1917–1919 firma zmuszona została do zaprzestania produkcji. Po ponownym otwarciu biznesu, marka Dewar's rozkwitła. II wojna światowa równie niekorzystnie odbiła się na kondycji gorzelni i zakład ponownie zamknięto. W 1962 firma otrzymała wyróżnienie nadane przez królową brytyjską Elżbietę II. W 1972 destylarnię rozbudowano tak, by produkcja mogła sprostać rosnącym oczekiwaniom.

Destylarnia
Aberfeldy mieści się w centralnej Szkocji, około pięć mil na wschód od Loch Tay i miasta Kenmore i około 8 mil na południe od Loch Tummel. Wodę czerpie ze strumienia Pitilie Burn, który to przepływa obok destylarni i który od stuleci wykorzystywany jest do produkcji whisky. Aberfeldy jest jedyną szkocką destylarnią używającą tego źródła. Zakład używa tylko szkockiego jęczmienia, drożdży i wody do produkcji swojej whisky.

Produkcja
Obecnie większość z produkcji w zakładzie trafia do zestawiania blendów, w sklepach zaś dostępna jest tylko piętnastoletnia single malt.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) said Wednesday that he had dressed in blackface during college when he was 19, darkening his skin for a 1980s party where he dressed up as rapper Kurtis Blow. The news broadened a collection of scandals engulfing the state's highest ranking officials. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) has resisted calls to resign, one of the latest coming from The Washington Post's editorial board, following the emergence of a photo from his medical school yearbook page showing one man in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan outfit. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, also a Democrat, has been accused of sexual assault. He claims the 2004 encounter in question was consensual.
In Part 2 of CNN's investigation into the death of James Brown, reporter Thomas Lake examines the death of Brown's third wife. When Adrienne Brown died in 1996, authorities found no signs of foul play. But a friend always suspected murder. Then in 2017, a retired detective told CNN he'd thoroughly read an informant's old notebook for the first time and found a doctor's chilling confession.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday unveiled a $100 million plan to provide affordable "health care for all" city residents. The "NYC Care" plan would offer public health insurance on a sliding price scale based on income to the estimated 600,000 people in the city who don't have insurance, including undocumented immigrants and low-income residents not enrolled in Medicaid. The plan is schedule to launch later this year and reach all New Yorkers by 2021. De Blasio said it would be funded through the city's public health budget, but would be cost-effective because it would reduce hospital emergency room visits by uninsured patients, and help improve public health. "It involves taking the money we're spending right now and using it a lot better," de Blasio said.
Scientists have spotted a frozen planet three times the size of Earth that orbits Barnard's star, just six light years away. Barnard's star, the solitary star that is closest to our sun, has long been of interest to astronomers, who thought the star was a top contender for finding nearby Earth-like planets. The newly-discovered super-Earth is the second-closest known exoplanet; a closer one was found in 2016 orbiting the Proxima Centauri stars. Because Barnard's star radiates far less warmth than our sun, the planet, known as Barnard's star b, is a hostile frozen environment that likely has no liquid water.

ALBEPRO official supplier of Technics®
Your partner in High-End, Home Cinema- and DJ solutions
The tech world is no longer friendly to people who appreciate good quality sound. The rise of compressed audio, met with the prevalence of shoddy mass-produced stereo amps and speakers, means that standards have fallen in the world of quality sound.
But here at ALBEPRO we pride ourselves on upholding the highest standards of impeccable High-End and, Home Cinema- and DJ Solutions. Because at ALBEPRO, quality is everything. Discerning listeners know the difference, and at ALBEPRO, we do too.
Quality audio is all about faithful reproduction of sound. The more lifelike the sound, the more alive the connection can become. When you can pick out details you had not heard before, hear musical parts you were not aware of, and enjoy more subtlety of timbre, that's when you can close the gap between reproduction and reality. The very best sound systems will reconstruct the acoustic environment and put you where you want to be – in the music.
Technics® brand name of Panasonic
When Panasonic launched the Technics brand in 1970, the world of sound reproduction changed forever. For over three decades, the Technics reputation was built by insisting that every component, every control and every feature, must serve the cause of bringing pure sound to demanding consumers and audio professionals who would settle with nothing less. The ultimate goal was to deliver the most pure sound, to allow the true artistry of the music to be heard and touch the soul.
In 1972, Technics released its first direct-drive turntable system, SL-1200, which later became the industry standard for professional broadcast studios and DJ's on an international scale, with over three million units sold. Technics "1200s," known for their durability and reliability, have been recognized as one of the most important musical instruments in history, with technology that has helped to shape the world we live in. In 2010, Panasonic ceased production of the Technics brand.
Termination of Technics-brand by Panasonic November 2010
Panasonic has confirmed that it ceased the production of its Technics-branded analogue turntables.
After more than 35 years as a leading manufacturer of analogue turntables, Panasonic has regretfully taken the decision to leave this market. However, Panasonic will continue to sell headphones under the Technics brand.
In addition, the number of component suppliers serving the analogue market has dwindled in recent years and we brought forward the decision to leave the market rather than risk being unable to fulfill future orders because of a lack of parts.
ALBEPRO starts with Technics-brand 2010
Because of Panasonic ceased the production of its Technics-branded analogue turntables, ALBEPRO started on February 2010 with the brand name Technics as a official dealer of the Benelux.
Production of brand new MK2's, to fulfill orders of parts we are proud to have the biggest stock of Technics parts from the Benelux.
Technical engineering, repairs and upgrading of the Technics series SL-1200 and SL-1210 direct drive turntables.

Hello Interpreters and welcome to your very own virtual cafe to chat, exchange feedback, and be part of your very own interpreter community!
We have interpreters from around the globe that interpret using the Boostlingo Platform, and now there is a forum for all of us to share a virtual cup of coffee and chat!
The conversation starts with you, interpreters!
Please take a look at the posts from some of your fellow Boostlingo interpreters below to start getting to know your community. Cafe Lingo will be posting weekly posts and videos with fun and useful information for YOU, the interpreter.
We would love your feedback on topics and discussion that would be useful for you and your interpreter friends!
My name is Gamaliel. I am happily married and I have an 11 year old son, Diego, whom I love with all my heart.
I am a Spanish interpreter, and an ESL teacher.
I developed a passion for languages at a young age, but I wasn't until I lived in the United States that I knew I wanted to make a career out of it.
I went to high school in Pontiac, Michigan, where I learned a lot about teaching English as a second language from my teachers.
After living in the U.S. for ten years I went to Mexico and started teaching English to college students and to employees at companies like PepsiCo and Saint Gobain Glass.
I had my first experience with interpreting in 2014 when I was asked to be the interpreter for the mayor of the city of Riverside California who was visiting our city during the independence celebrations. I had a lot of fun, and it was an honor to interpret for them about my country and my culture.
I earned a professional interpreter certificate in 2015 and, in 2016, I received a certificate for medical specialized interpreters.
Nowadays I collaborate with Boostlingo as a telephonic Interpreter, its cutting edge technology allows me to work from my home office without compromising the call quality.
I love working from home because I don't have to worry about the time it would take me to get to work if there is a traffic jam or about the cost of gas if I have to take on an assignment at a far away place.With Boostlingo I am always on time for my assignments.
I also continue studying at home, and Boostlingo is great for that, it allows me to make my own schedule.
I am growing professionally and for that I am grateful.
My name is Francisco Pimienta, I'm an English<>Spanish interpreter, translator, and senior trainer with over 10,000 hours of OPI and VRI experience in the last 12 years.
I'm an active member of the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters and advocate of IMIA in my region, within the scope of my expertise are the engineering, medical, financial and legal areas in which I have done variety of linguistic projects, I am also currently pursuing my degree in Law and Federal Court Interpreter Certification.
I have taken part in different projects with some of the largest language providers in the world, but over the past year I had a boost in my freelancing career thanks to the advancement of technology and the new platforms that have been developing revolutionizing the way I am able to perform my job and further advance my career as a linguist.
I greatly enjoy healthy habits and fitness, such as practicing variety of sports including rowing, swimming and water polo.
Getting my linguistic assignments through Boostlingo has become much smoother both managing my workflow and keeping control of my own schedules at all times!
Ever since I became part of the professional interpreter network, the outreach to new clients and the amount of assignments has steadily been increasing helping me advance my freelancing career.
My name is Leticia, i am an experienced English<>Spanish interpreter, the constant work with the Limited English Proficiency community has sculpted me as a reputable, reliable employee as well as a student with effective communication skills in both languages with the purpose mission factor of a culture and linguistic bridge in the community.
Boostlingo, Inc. has helped me practice the communication skills I acquired in the medical interpreter certificate program where i studied: fundamentals of translation and interpreting, ethics and practice, terminology and the Spanish Literature studies I have achieved what makes me a culture broker to work with the national community.
Boostlingo Inc., leads the age of online language access where art + science meet, where people matter.

Q: How to scale Cocos2d app to iPhone 5 screen? I have a Cocos3d v1.01 app and I am currently making it try to fit the iPhone 5 full screen.
By simply stretching the background is enough for most screens as it is just a pattern that fills the screen and no need to change any UI parts, however on just one of the screens I am struggling to change.
This is the code part I believe to set the background for that;

    CGSize size = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];

        NSMutableArray *bodyanimframeBuddyBack =[[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
        for(int j = 1;j<=4;++j)
        {

            [bodyanimframeBuddyBack addObject:[[CCSpriteFrameCache sharedSpriteFrameCache]spriteFrameByName:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"shark_sea_waves5%d.png",j]]];

        }

        CCAnimation *BuddyAnimBack = [CCAnimation animationWithFrames:bodyanimframeBuddyBack delay:0.3f];
        self.backgroundAction = [CCRepeatForever actionWithAction:[CCAnimate actionWithAnimation:BuddyAnimBack restoreOriginalFrame:NO]];

        CCSprite  *bg=[CCSprite spriteWithSpriteFrameName:@"shark_sea_waves51.png"];

        bg.position=ccp(size.width/2, size.height/2);
        [self addChild:bg];
        [bg runAction:backgroundAction];

Is there a way of adjusting that ? I am guessing it is the bg.position part that would need changing to tell it whether it is iPhone5 or not?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

A: bg.scaleX = size.width / bg.contentSize.width;

This will stretch the bg width to match the screen width.

A: Why can't you place seperate background for iPhone5..just like you did for iPad.
#define IS_IPHONE5 (([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height-568)?NO:YES)

#define TEX_MM_BG   (IS_IPHONE5) ? ( @"shark_sea_waves51-whd.png") : ( @"shark_sea_waves51.png")

{
    CCSprite *bg = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:TEX_MM_BG];
    bg.position  = ccp(mS.width*0.5f, mS.height*0.5f);
    [self addChild:bg z:-3 tag:kTagBackground];
