Tijdens de jaren negentig en het begin van de 21e eeuw was vooral XFree86 de bron van innovatie in X en was tevens de factor voor de verdere ontwikkeling van X.
Tot begin 2004 werd het veel gebruikt op Linux en BSD, maar veel ontwikkelaars stapten in 2004 over naar X.Org na een licentiewijziging van XFree86. Ook geschillen tussen ontwikkelaars zouden ertoe bijgedragen hebben dat er een fork ontstond.

XFree86 wordt in bepaalde gevallen nog gebruikt door NetBSD, maar ook hier is X.org aanwezig in de belangrijkste versies.

Het project is inactief sinds 2008.

One part of the deck where lighting often comes as an afterthought is the step risers leading up or down from the deck surface. Depending on where you live, some municipalities may have requirements for riser lights. More importantly, adding riser lights to your deck's steps makes your deck a safer place for everyone.
Pro Rewards is a best-in-class contractor loyalty program designed to reward our best partners. Join the program and we'll support you like no other building products brand can. Pro Rewards members get access to marketing and business building tools, promotional funding, training and even access to leads all to help grow your business.
These lights are cool to the touch, and because they are housed in waterproof fixtures, they're safe and protected regardless of the weather.
As beautiful as a new deck can be, today's homeowners have a wealth of accent choices at their disposal that can make major differences in the look and functionality of their decks.
TimberTech has a complete line of high-impact, low-energy lighting solutions for your deck. To learn more about our products, simply visit your nearest TimberTech dealer, request a catalog, or give us a call at 1-877-275-2935.
The vast range of styles available for deck accent lighting allows you to have full control when it comes to highlighting your decks best features. From low-voltage on-post fixtures to under-rail lights, there are endless options available for adding accent lights to an existing deck. The cost of the project will depend on the size of your deck, how many lights you'll be installing, and whether or not you are hiring a professional to do the installation.
Post cap lights are built-in to the posts on the deck, where they provide much-needed illumination at the edge of your deck. These lights produce a slow glow so they are easy on the eyes, but bright enough to make your deck safer and more elegant at night.
If inadequate lighting forces you to head indoors after dusk, chances are you're not taking full advantage of your deck. Incorporating lighting options into your deck design or adding lights to an existing deck isn't difficult to do, but the difference in appearance and functionality can be dramatic.
String lights are inexpensive and they offer an easy way to add some style and charm to your deck without having to call an electrician. These lights are similar to the string lights used to decorate your Christmas tree, however, it's recommended that you use white lights for a more elegant look. It's also important to ensure that the lights are approved for outdoor use.
With proper lighting, your deck will not only look beautiful in the evening, but it will also provide you with several additional hours of enjoyment per day. Here are six lighting solutions that will quickly add beauty and functionality to your deck.
Like string lights, stringed lanterns lend a festive feel to the deck and there's no need to conceal the wiring. Each of these options comes in a wide variety of styles and sizes, including both standard lights that plug directly into an outlet, and low-voltage lights that use 12-volt current. Solar-powered string lights and lanterns are also available, but they are more expensive than the plug-in variety.
Although most deck lighting is designed to illuminate the deck area from the top-down, in-deck lights are installed in the deck boards, thus providing soft, ambient light from the ground-up. In order to set up these lights, the power cord is strung along the bottom of the boards and light emitters are inserted in tiny holes which are drilled into the boards.
TimberTech® offers high quality design accents that can take any deck installation to the next level. As tiny as these changes might be, you'll be surprised at the big impact they deliver.
Even if your deck wasn't designed and constructed with built-in step lights, you can easily add motion-activated, battery-operated lights on each step landing. The batteries typically last for up to a year.
One way to add a sense of enchantment to your outdoor living space is to use railing lights and uplighting for trees planted near the deck. These types of lights are low-voltage, meaning they rely on a transformer to convert your home's standard 120-volt current into 12-volt current. In order to get the most luminosity from these low-power lights, it's important that the transformer is sized appropriately for the wattage.

Fall Semester Sports Recap
• Published 1 month ago - Robert Schrock - 1m ago 32
The 2021 Women's Golf team after winning their first national title in school history. This photo was taken at Hammock Beach Resort Ocean Golf Course in Palm Springs, Fla. Photo courtesy of Bethel Women's Golf Coach, Chris Hess.
MISHAWAKA—From national titles to minor improvements, the athletic department saw a wide spread of successes this fall. Young programs saw major improvements, and storied programs saw their history get even deeper.
"First of all, competitively I thought it has been a really good semester," Bethel Athletic Director, Tony Natali, said. "Our volleyball team did great; they were the only team to beat Marian. Men's Soccer won the regular season and postseason tournaments in the Crossroads League. Women's Soccer made tremendous improvement this year. Our cross-country teams went to NAIA Nationals and had good showings. All fall sports have had good showings."
The biggest accomplishment that the fall sports teams had was a women's golf national title in the NCCAA National Championships. The title is the first in their program's history. Included in that performance is an individual national championship that came in the form of Jessica Shurety. She finished the tournament with a score of nine-over.
"That was awesome for them," Natali said. "It's the first time they've won one. Coach Hess has done an amazing job and has for many years. So, for him to step into that role late this year and still win a national championship is huge for them."
Next up for accomplishments for the athletic program was a regular season and postseason title for men's soccer in the Crossroads League. Coach Thiago Pinto's team went 16-5-2, which included a five-game winning streak to start their Crossroads League campaign. They defeated Spring Arbor, Marian and Indiana Wesleyan to win the postseason tournament.
"It's not easy to win both of those," said Natali. "To do so is really impressive, and our conference is always very strong. The regular season actually, in my opinion, is harder to win because that's a long season."
The next sport that has started to bring home some hardware in its young program is the esports team. This semester, the Overwatch team was able to bring home the program's first conference title in the Great Lakes Esports Conference (GLEC).
"That's a new team for us," Natali said. "It's only a couple of years old. Coach Dan Wort has done a fantastic job for us. We're excited about where we are headed in that direction, and to win a conference championship already is exciting."
Another area that saw improvements is the cross-country teams. Over the course of the season, the teams continuously got quicker. The men were able to qualify for the NCCAA National Tournament and finished second in the meet. Senior Trevor Miller finished in the top ten individually, and was able to set his personal record (PR), as well as be named an NCCAA All-American. As for the women, they also qualified for the NCCAA National Tournament and were able to finish third. Just like Trevor Miller for the men, junior Megan Cooper finished in the top ten individually, set her PR and was named a NCCAA All-American.
"I think they got better through the course of the year," Natali said. "They are both very young, but the fact that the men could finish runner-up showed tremendous amounts of improvement throughout the year. The women also finished third, and that's a great accomplishment."
Lastly, women's volleyball went 29-11 and qualified for both the NAIA and NCCAA National Tournaments. The team was able to win a game at the NCCAA National Tournament against Warner University in straight sets. Even though it was not the finish to the season that they might have hoped for, they were still able to continue to build off last season's NCCAA National Championship run.

Desigual inBeta - Igniting creative curiosities at Sónar
Desigual inBeta
Igniting creative curiosities at Sónar
There's nothing backwards about Spanish fashion brand Desigual. Well, nothing apart from its revamped logo. With this new branding has come a preoccupation with supporting young artists by sponsoring events like Sónar. The Desigual inBeta programme both backed practising creatives and served to nurture the artist lying dormant in the average festival-goer. The line-up at Sónar by Day featured events designed to tantalise all of the senses and ignite creative curiosities. From body painting by Claudia Sahuquillo, a VR experience at the Onionlab studio wherein you discover your artistic energy, the multi-sensory musical endeavour at the Suco sessions, to the live performance by up-and-coming R&B diva Aleesha, there was something for anyone and everyone, even those of us who identify as artistically challenged.
To engage people's physical bodies, the young artist and entrepreneur Claudia Sahuquillo was commissioned to do what she does best: use the human body as a canvas. After painting on canvases since she was 6, Claudia grew bored of this fairly one-dimensional medium and was eager to explore spaces outside the boundaries of this traditional medium. Thus she began using the body as canvas. Her work quickly went viral, and her feminist approach to painting in conjunction with the #freethenipple movement lured big brands Desigual to her like wasps to honey within a year realizing her unique vision.
At the festival, she swapped her usual matte paints for festival appropriate neon. Claudia and her team of artists painted tribal patterns on the eagerly awaiting public, who were then ready to go from day to night in their neon war paint. Of her multiple collaborations with Desigual, Claudia says: "I've been working with them a lot because they are now changing. They are working with young artists, and I think they are interested in me because (obviously) I'm an artist but also a feminist and an entrepreneur. I think they are interested in this kind of young woman." Desigual indeed must have had this kind of woman in mind when designing their loud, print-heavy, youthful clothing.
To ignite one's unique artistic energy, Onionlab's installation for Sónar+D utilised biometric technology to determine the colour that corresponded with each individual's creative personality. After this was determined by the hands-on totem, one then walked, danced and/or strutted down a mirrored tunnel that filled with light. A video of this was then sent to the user, in which they discovered the meaning of the colour that their body generated. Mine was blue – perhaps a reflection of the exhausting and yet exciting influence of day three of the festival on my body.
Through the Onionlab tunnel, a futuristic equivalent to Alice's rabbit hole, you then came upon Suco Sessions by Branko; a psychedelic audio-visual wonderland. It was not your average silent disco; I'll tell you that for nothing. On entering, you were instructed to remove your shoes and your inhibitions, replacing these with a set of headphones. The smooth voice of Jamie Beron and tribal, musical stylings of Branko guided you through moves that were a hybrid of yoga, tai chi, and straight-up nonsensical dancing. Starting very zen and calming, leading to a crescendo that can only be described as an insane expelling of energy. After some deep breathing, participators were instructed to stand on one of the circles of light that appeared on the floor with one other stranger, who were then asked to hold hands and do trust exercises together. This breeching of usual social conduct was a testament to festival micro-culture, wherein people from all walks of life come together in a mutual pursuit of good music and unbridled fun.
The Desigual lineup wouldn't have been complete without a live performance. Aleesha, the R&B singer from Ibiza, has gone from making music in her bedroom to being backed by a fashion empire. On Friday, she performed at the SonarXS stage, which wasn't nearly big enough for her all-consuming energy. Somewhat reminiscent of Rihanna in her Pon de Replay days, Aleesha's silky and soulful voice married well with bouts of rap and reggaeton beats. In oversized Desigual printed jeans with white boxers sticking out the top, she repped the brand while also nodding to the fact that she's another woman trying to take over an industry dominated by men, and killing it. Her energy infected the audience in a way that even had one of the security guards shouting for an encore.
The seamless meeting of minds that was Desigual inBeta was described the Chief Marketing Officer Guillem Gallego as an attempt to get punters to "Discover the most creative, optimistic and energetic version of themselves". The outcome of the partnership indeed possessed all these qualities, let's see what other adventures they have in mind for the future.

Heavenly Valley sits right in the middle of all the action. The dividing line between California and Nevada goes right down the middle of the lake and extends all the way through South Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Valley Mountain resort and the ski area. So South Lake Tahoe is both in California and Nevada. The larger hotels with casinos and showrooms are in Stateline Nevada a funny name for that part of South Lake Tahoe, and the hotels on the California side which won't have casinos are in the actual town of South Lake Tahoe. There isn't really a city called South Lake Tahoe in Nevada, we just call the whole area including Stateline by that name for ease...! There are also lakefront hotels in Tahoe, and some very nice quaint boutique hotels that have their own access to the beach. Perfect if you don't want to be noticed!
Each hotel is rated by the hotel industry national standards but take it from us, the larger hotels have more services such as room service, lobby bars and restaurants, and the smaller boutiques will have gorgeous furnishings, but only mini bars and minimal food service. You will get friendly attention from both with a dash more from the boutique hotels as they are just smaller.
When you come visiting on a longer trip or with a bigger family, you will find that South Lake Tahoe vacation rentals will be a very smart thing to do. You'll find beautiful vacation rentals lakefront, in the hills with views, or near the action.

Star Wars Fans – Romanticizing the Original Trilogy
Posted on December 18, 2017 by Brook H. in Cinema // 2 Comments
Star Wars, the ultimate fandom. Sure, the Trekkies and Whovians have been around longer, and the Potterheads have risen in the ranks.
Lucas' (now Disney's) monster, however, is probably quoted by your average person more than any of those. Star Wars has become an intricate part of everyday society, to the point it's a badge of uniqueness if you haven't seen any of the movies.
Now that the 8th chapter of the epic (and the 9th film overall) has been released, we're seeing how the rabid Star Wars geeks are reacting. As expected, despite positive reviews overall, there's a vocal minority waving their plastic lightsabers like British Parliament "harrumphing" away.
Some are complaining the film has strayed too far from the classic formula. Others state the opposite that it's too much of a callback to the originals. People debate whether there were too many plots, whether the character development made sense, whether specific points were contrived, etc.
In the end, most of these complaints drag out the original trilogy as a comparison. Is it anywhere as good as A New Hope? Does it have the turns seen in the Empire Strikes Back? What about the action from Return of the Jedi?
Those films are sacrosanct, supposedly the measure of the perfection of a Star Wars film.
I'm sorry to say, that gauge is nonsense, and the original trilogy is neither flawless nor the pinnacle. Star Wars fans, at least those probably within a particular generation, only think they are because they glorify and romanticize their youth.
Memories of our Childhood
Many of us grew up with the Star Wars films, either children or teenagers when they were in the theater or watching them on videotapes a decade later. Our memories are rife with heroic character arcs, stunning battles, and innovative special effects; we remember the excitement and shock at every pivotal moment.
The problem is, we tend to look back on the past with rose-colored glasses. We gloss over the flaws, exaggerate the high points, and then demand a standard that never existed.
The effects were cutting edge for the time, but many don't hold up to modern viewings. The lightsaber fights were of mediocre choreography, and the space battles often reused the same footage. Our favorite characters followed cliché archetypes, and some were just as unlikable at points as newer characters.
To be fair, we're wired this way – emotions and memories are intricately tied. Our brains are designed to recall events associated with feelings, especially positive ones. This neurology is why autobiographies aren't always reliable, as our minds perceive the best or strongest emotions rather than the objective facts.
Thus, for those who grew up with the original Star Wars, we remember them with all the happiness, exhilaration, and love we had during our youth. Which is fine, except then we judge anything afterward by those emotionally-tainted memories.
So, when Star Wars geeks start criticizing anything, from the Prequels to the cartoons to the new movies, you can understand why I roll my eyes. They're often comparing each of these new things to a romanticized idea of the old.
Perceptions of the Old Geek
To add insult to injury, we need to accept the fact that we're old. Our opinions of what's "good" are tainted by age and experience.
As we grow older, we become more confident we know what's "good" and "right." We hear some new music, watch a new TV show, read a new comic, etc., and immediately opine for how much worse things have become.
Even if we weren't comparing things to a rose-colored past, as I noted above, we must accept that our lives influence our tastes. We tend to cling to that which we're familiar and struggle with the new and different, and we face more novel things the older we get.
When a fandom stretches decades, it changes for new audiences; those differences become an insult to our perceptions of what's "good." We forget that "good" is subjective and that we are not necessarily the target audience, no matter how much of the material originated in "our" fandoms.
The Prequels were designed for the youth at the turn-of-the-Millennium. The Sequels are now designed for the children and teenagers of the 2010's. Our idea of how "good" they are is nonsense, because we are not the final judges.
Sure, it was our fandom that started everything, but the torch is now being handed over to the next generation.
Now, I've heard the argument saying, "That's nonsense! The Prequels weren't for kids!" The claim is no child would be interested in a movie was about trade disputes and politics.
The problem is, I've personally witnessed how different generations react to each of the eras.
My young son was introduced to the original Star Wars as a toddler (just like I was); even at age six, he still can't make it more than a third of the movie. If I put on The Phantom Menace, however, he will sit through over half the film, and he'll watch The Clone Wars cartoons (at least for a while).
The Force Awakens? He's now glued to Kylo Ren, loves BB-8, and wants to be Rey. Even my three-year-old daughter perks up at Episode VII, and both love Star Wars: Rebels.
The new Star Wars is designed for them, not for us. We may enjoy it, just like we'll watch family movies and kids shows, but this is their fandom now.
When 900 Years Old You Reach
I'm not saying these films are perfect. The Prequels have a lot of flaws, including direction, acting, and contrived plot and characters. The Sequels, even the new one, tend to fall victim to nostalgia and depend too much on supplementary materials (novels, comics, etc.) to explain everything.
Yet, the Original Trilogy is just as flawed. We merely associate so many good memories with them, while being overly-critical of anything new, that we're blind to our own bias. We have become the crotchety old Jedi, shaking a lightsaber at those young Podracers and telling the Porgs to get off our lawn.
We are not the gatekeepers of Star Wars.
The fandom will change, with or without us, and adapt to new tech, new writing, and new audiences. We can either accept it or hide away in our personal Dagobah, stealing rations from the youth who ask us about the old ways.
Me? I'm going to enjoy the films for what they are, stop comparing them to the illusion of trilogies past, and groom my kids to be the next generation of Jedi.
Or Sith, in my case.

2 Comments on Star Wars Fans – Romanticizing the Original Trilogy
Barry Davidson // December 22, 2017 at 8:50 am //
Even I can't sit through a lot of old movies that I loved. Why? Because I look at them through different eyes. The delight and awe of yesteryear having long since dissipated.
I actually wish that episodes I, II, and III had been more of a blend between the two. I'm just not a fan of movies that are mostly CGI, even the fully CGI animated movies. Just because something is new doesn't mean it's better, but the opposite is also true. Episodes IV, V, and VI had their problems too.
Think about it. At the end of Empire Luke heads out to finish training, Leia does her thing, and Lando and Chewie head out – all of them having hashed out some plan. It never really gets into how long the period between was. Yoda was 900 years old – the force having given him a longer life although that wasn't explained except in the Star Wars trading cards in the 80's. (No, I don't read the books.) Obi Wan was young in III, but in IV he's old as dirt. Yes, we saw them out of number sequence, but that's a hole.
The thing is, though, the original trilogy tried like hell to expand upon the characters we first met in A New Hope (before it was part IV or A New Hope). Didn't do the greatest job, but they worked within the limitations of film at the time. Now, no one would bat an eyelash at a 3 hour movie. I can't even remember, or find what the original run time of Star Wars was before they added on the IV or A New Hope. (The Hobbit movies are almost 8 hours, and just over 9 hours for the extended edition.)
In the original trilogy if they had needed a thousand Gungans in a shot they'd have dressed up a thousand people. Now they'd just focus a camera on a green screen, if even that, and have a programmer or ten add in what they want. Nothing in the shot would be real, and it shows. That's a lot of the reason I can't get into shows like Star Wars: Rebels. If I want 100% CGI that looks like CGI I'll play a video game.
I wasn't impressed with The Force Awakens. 2 hours 16 minutes of too many people running around doing too many things in too short a time to really get a good feel for the story. I wanted to pull my hair out by the end of Rogue One. It's not even looking at the new stuff through the rose colored glasses described in the article.
I won't even go into the choice of director J.J. Abrams for VII and IX. Not a fan. With a lot of his work you're left with the feeling the original Dune release in 1984 (confusion and lack of plot/character development) gave after watching it for the first time – if you hadn't read the books. (One of my favorites though. Later releases added more, and Kyle MacLachlan is a good actor.)
I don't even know why I wrote this much. It happens before my first pot of coffee.
Josh Hammond // December 22, 2017 at 10:56 am //
I rewatched the original Star Wars last week in preparation for The Last Jedi. While I agree with your points, I tried to approach it not from a "was it good?" perspective, but from a "did it work" perspective. And I was impressed with how well Star Wars works, despite a lot of the criticism you list (I agree that the duel between Vader and Obi Wan is a snore, but I thought the effects still looked great). The Force Awakens isn't perfect, but it does a decent job of introducing likable, compelling characters, something that really wasn't done since Empire (Yoda and Lando – sorry, Ewoks).
I'm still processing The Last Jedi, but I keep coming back to two lines so many critics have cited: "Let the past die" and "This is not going to go the way you think."

April 16 − May 23 • Gallery Vladey Space, Center for Contemporary Art Winery, 4th Syromyatnichesky lane, 1, p. 6, Moscow
I like0 I will attend
Gallery "Vladey Space" Center for Contemporary Art Winery presents the exhibition"Less" young artist Samuel Marshak.
The exhibition presents paintings of the author in the manner of neo-expressionism of the 80s of the XX century.
"Less" is the name of one of the works presented at the exhibition: "forest / less" is a play of words of the Russian and English languages, which is revealed in a graphic manner. In the word "less", the artist establishes the aesthetics of the "decline" in relation to traditional academic painting, which he studied at the Academy of Arts.
The artist with the name of a well-known children's writer creates his paintings as if on the fragments of deep memories, first impressions of his acquaintance with the world. It seems that they are as simple and sweet as Samuel Marshak's poems and tales. In them, as in the children's consciousness, there are no hierarchies and determinations, therefore, the substitution of concepts often takes place. The world turns into a set of equivalent objects: people, animals, fruits, trees, flowers, football fields, a family dinner, a landscape, toys, military rockets - all this is an emotional memory that does not carry any meaningful values. The pictures attract with their sincerity and weakness, their images and colors are touched. At the same time, the intensity of color, thick layers of paint, coarse broad strokes add brutality and emotionality to images.

Picking a winner actually is easier than it…
Picking a winner actually is easier than it appears
By Aram Tolegian | atolegian@scng.com | San Gabriel Valley Tribune
PUBLISHED: February 6, 2011 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 5:39 a.m.
It takes only a quick check of the Las Vegas point spread on Super Bowl XLV to tell you predicting this year's winner is no easy task.
The boys out in Nevada who know installed the Green Bay Packers as a field-goal favorite over the Pittsburgh Steelers in what was the closest Super Bowl line since 1983.
Surely all the uncertainty that comes from a Super Bowl with no overwhelming favorite won't make things easier on you as you make your pool selections, friendly wagers or legal bets in Nevada.
But that's why I'm here. As difficult as it is, I'm going to help you get to the bottom of this super conundrum. By the time you're done reading this, you'll have a pretty good idea of who's going to win and why.
Green Bay has taken the much tougher path to reach Arlington. The Packers entered the postseason as the No. 6 seed in the NFC and had to post wins at Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago. All three of those venues are among the league's most difficult for an opposing team.
While Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been great, it's been the emergence of rookie running back James Starks that has put the offense over the top.
Green Bay's defense hasn't been too shabby either, with constant pressure on the quarterback helping the secondary come up with big play after big play.
The Steelers haven't had it nearly as hard as the Packers. Pittsburgh has had two playoff games and both were at home against teams limited by young quarterbacks.
To break down Pittsburgh's postseason, you need to look at it in terms of halves. The Steelers used an outstanding second half to beat the Baltimore Ravens and a strong first half to beat the New York Jets. The rest of their work leaves a lot to be desired.
When the teams actually are on the field, both defenses will find it hard to slow the other team's balanced attack. That means special teams, which also are a close call, should be a huge factor. The slight edge goes to Green Bay simply because placekicker Mason Crosby is more reliable than the Steelers' Scott Suisham. And in a game in which it's plausible that both teams see drives bog down, field goals could be huge.
In order to reach our conclusion, a check of both teams' recent body of work tells us all we need to know.
The Packers have beaten much better teams and much more complete teams to reach this point. Green Bay undoubtedly will appreciate playing in a nicer climate as evidenced by just how crisp the Packers' offense looked playing indoors against the Falcons.
Last season, the Colts came into the Super Bowl like it was a business trip. The Saints played like they were on fire, from start to finish. Expect the same sort of scenario this year with the Steelers drawing on the experience of this being their third trip in six years while Green Bay soaks it all in.
Sometimes, the business-like attitude can be a hidden disadvantage. The Packers should have the better energy early and with the Steelers playing their first postseason game outside of Pittsburgh, there's a strong chance Green Bay takes an early edge and doesn't look back.
Throughout NFL history, dynastic teams have always been defined by winning a cluster of Super Bowl titles within a short amount of time. The Steelers are not a dynasty. Not even in this era of NFL parity. But that's exactly the label they're playing for today.
Green Bay has been the more consistent team and with two weeks off after a treacherous playoff road, the Packers should be recharged and ready to fire their best shot, something the Steelers won't be able to match both emotionally and physically.
The pick: Green Bay 27, Pittsburgh 17.

Order Kocky's Bar & Grill gift cards below!
Fresno State Alumni Michael Smith and James O�Donnell had a dollar and dream. The two friends and fraternity brothers became successful party/club promoters in the college scene, but realized this wasn�t a sustainable career choice. So Smith and O�Donnell decided to put their marketing degrees to good use, cashing in their chips to open Kocky�s Bar and Grill.
The name is an homage to their fraternity known for being confident and cocky as well as spelling things with the letter �K�. Kocky�s Bar and Grill, opened in August of 2011, is located in the heart of downtown Fresno and aims to sell the best wings in town.
The two entrepreneurs quickly learned from the critics that they couldn�t just buy frozen food and throw it in the fryer or on the grill. O�Donnell and Smith read their reviews online and decided to go different direction. Collaborating with their experienced chef, the two experimented with recipes in the kitchen to develop their own unique flavor.
Kocky�s food is fresh and never frozen. We bring you crisp ingredients and products because your palate deserves the best. Kocky�s burgers are made in house from 100% ground USDA Select Cattlemen�s finest sirloin tip. Our fries are cut fresh daily. All of Kocky�s appetizers, dressing, and sauces are hand-made in our kitchen with the freshest ingredients.

Arthrinium is a genus of minute disease-causing fungi which belong to the family Apiosporaceae and which are parasitic on flowering plants such as sedges.  These fungi have an anamorphic life cycle stage where spores are produced asexually in structures called conidia and a teleomorphic stage where sexual spores are produced in asci.

Historically the name Arthrinum represented the anamorph form and a different genus name was used for the teleomorph form; however after a decision in 2011 one name or the other has to be selected as the current name for all cases.  The corresponding  teleomorph-derived name varies from species to species of Arthrinium but most commonly it is Apiospora, for instance the teleomorph synonym of the species Arthrinium balearicum is Apiospora balearica.  There is a tendency to prefer the teleomorph name and the genus name Arthrinium is not the current official one for all species.

The genus was first described by Gustav Kunze in 1817.

The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution.

Arthrinium caricola and A. saccharicola produce the mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropanoic acid.

Selected species:
 Arthrinium caricicola
 Arthrinium carinatum
 Arthrinium phaeospermum
 Arthrinium puccinioides
 Arthrinium sphaerospermum
 Arthrinium saccharicola

Sailing Excitement features two LPNs heeling to 15 degrees on the York.
August 28, 2016 Adventure, exciting, Health, How to, Memories, Nursing, Sailboat, Sailboat charter, Sailing, Williamsburg, York River
Sailing Excitement
Let's face it: Some people have more exciting jobs than others. When you combine that with exciting sailing, it's energizing.
Brittany Luth and Amy Meadors of Richmond took a Saturday off on a "mom-cation" from their husbands and kids. We sailed in brisk winds of 12 mph, tacking down the York River all the way to Goodwin Island at the end of the river. Amy was a champ on the helm and got the rhythm of it immediately. I asked if she played golf, and sure enough she did. Brittany was apprehensive about heeling to 15 degrees, so I shorted the genoa to reduce pressure and increase stability.
Both women are LPNs, for Licensed Practical Nurse. You could tell they are best friends because they finished each other's sentences. Amy works in a private practice specializing in ENT, which stands for Eyes, Nose and Throat. Brittany works on the transplant team at Henrico Doctors Hospital.
How Transplants Work
"We focus on liver and kidney transplants. We used to do heart transplants, but the heart surgeon left and went to Bon Secours. Last week we had 22 people involved in a chain of potential kidney donors. Let's say an altruistic donor starts a chain to donate his kidney. He gets 21 other people involved, and we screen them for multiple factors of compatibility and health. At the precise time we need the kidney we take the best one.
"We have a good survival rate out to five years.You have to keep in mind that a transplant doesn't cure you of the underlying disease or condition. You still have diabetes, but you don't have to be on dialysis anymore. That's still good because otherwise you'd have only five years left to live on dialysis.
"We started work on the same day at MCV Hospital, in the ICU Medical wing. They have ICU for heart, neurosurgery, pediatric, neonatal and stroke. Medical gets everything else besides those. MCV probably has 900 beds. Henrico Doctors has around 500. We do 50 to 75 transplants a year compared to MCV, which has already done 372 so far this year."
An LPN is just shy of a doctor. "We have seven or eight years of study behind us, four years undergraduate for RN and three to four years specializing. We're not doctors. They know more than we do. They should know more than we do."
Heeling Anxiety
Amy got to talking how the heeling of the boat to 15 degrees compared to bigger ships.
"I was with my dad on a cruise ship when for some reason it started listing 10 degrees. I thought it was going to capsize but he kept reading his book. He's an airplane pilot, so nothing fazes him. At 10 degrees, we could hear glasses and china crashing off of the dining room tables. People were screaming. It was pretty scary." On a much smaller boat like ours, 10-15 degrees was exhilarating—at least for Amy.
Once we reached Goodwin Island, Amy tacked 180 degrees and we switched from a close reach to a beam-to-broad reach. That flattened out the boat in a hurry, where it remained for the next hour or so as we worked our way back to Sarah Creek.

*Included in the ArcGIS All Extensions Bundle
The Learn ArcGIS site has lessons on using ArcGIS Pro, including a great lesson to get you started.
There are videos, created by Esri and our users alike and available on YouTube.
Both the ArcGIS Blog and Esri Community have a wide array of content and an active community around ArcGIS Pro.
Those of you who prefer to learn from books can look to Esri Press, which has multiple titles including Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap, Getting to Know ArcGIS Pro, and Understanding GIS: An ArcGIS Pro Project Workbook.
The comprehensive ArcGIS Pro Online help system is available to everyone.
There is also a great set of developer resources if you are looking into migrating custom tools from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro.
Configure the tools and buttons that appear on the ribbon tabs and quick access toolbar in the application. You can also save and share user interface (UI) customization files.
Create and share tasks. Tasks allow you to create a custom workflow, complete with steps and instructions that you can share with others who perform the same type of work. Using tasks ensures that everyone will perform in a consistent workflow and get work done faster.
Use ArcPy, a Python site package, to automate analysis and mapping. You can use Python, for example, to create a script tool that helps you do complex analysis, or use the ArcPy.mp package to create an automated map layout that updates based on map content. Automation through Python can greatly reduce the hours spent on the redundant processing and activities required to author maps.
Develop add-ins with ArcGIS Pro SDK for the Microsoft .NET Framework to create a custom ArcGIS Pro UI and user experience for your organization. You can build your own custom tools and workflows within Microsoft Visual Studio using powerful API and easy-to-use software developer kit (SDK) templates. There are three main customization patterns—add-ins, solution configurations, and plug-in data sources—and all are easy to share and deploy. Updates to ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET are included with each release of ArcGIS Pro. You can learn more in the concept document "Migrating to ArcGIS Pro."
What is the significance of ArcGIS Arcade as a cross-platform scripting language?
We had a need for a secure, portable scripting language that allows you to perform expressions across the ArcGIS platform in a consistent way. After researching other scripting languages, including JavaScript and Python, we found that we needed to write our own scripting language to ensure that it was secure and provided common mapping functions. This scripting language is called ArcGIS Arcade. Arcade allows you to write an expression and ensure that it will work the same in ArcGIS Pro, in web maps and layers, and in web and apps built with ArcGIS Runtime SDKs. For example, an Arcade expression could be used to perform a mathematical operation on an attribute whose result drives a property of a symbol. This expression will work the same and provide the same result in every Esri app and every device. Also, since we've written the language, we've been able to include simplified functions for performing tasks that are common in mapping. For example, the Proper function can be used to convert a string to proper case (an initial capital letter followed by lower case), which is a very useful function for mapmakers.
Can ArcGIS Pro be used in a virtualized environment?
Yes. ArcGIS Pro can be used in virtualized environments—both on-premises and in the cloud—with great success. Esri understands how important virtualization technology is to our users. ArcGIS Pro is heavily tested and supported in all the major virtualization environments including Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Hyper V VDI, and VMware Horizon View. We work closely with the major on-premises virtualization vendors including Microsoft, VMware, and Citrix, and with major hardware vendors including Dell. We also partner closely with NVIDIA, whose virtual desktop workstation GPUs and GRID manager hypervisor technology is important to virtualizing ArcGIS Pro.
ArcGIS Pro can also be used with cloud-based application streaming and virtualization solutions such as AWS AppStream and Frame.
The most recent information can be found on the ArcGIS Pro System Requirements web page and in ArcGIS Pro virtualization blogs. We are working to make all the ArcGIS Pro virtualization blogs accessible from a single landing page.
Esri has partnered with NVIDIA, VMware, and Dell to provide ArcGIS Desktop Virtualization Dell Appliance. This is a server that has been thoroughly tested to determine the user workflows, number of virtual machines, and user experiences that are available with it. The configuration is constantly updated to deliver the best density and user experience possible. In fact, the ArcGIS Desktop area at the 2019 Esri User Conference was partly virtualized and powered by ArcGIS Desktop Virtualization Dell Appliance. The Virtualization area (in the ArcGIS Pro area) at the conference was completely virtualized.
ArcGIS Pro is supported in the Citrix XenDesktop, VMware (Horizon View), and Microsoft (Hyper V VDI) virtual environments. The ArcGIS Pro System Requirements web page provides a list of all supported virtualization environments. We are constantly reviewing and updating this page to provide our users with the most current information. Because virtualization technology is changing and evolving so rapidly, it's important to check the ArcGIS Pro System Requirements web page and Esri blogs frequently.
How do I stay up-to-date with what's going on with ArcGIS Pro?
Read the latest ArcGIS Pro articles on ArcGIS Blog to learn about new software developments and best practices and to see examples of outstanding cartography.
Connect with other users and ask questions in the ArcGIS Pro place on Esri Community, Esri's community site for GIS professionals.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is the optimization of a website to make it ready to be crawled and indexed by Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc..
Almost all know about these Search Engines, but most of you may not be knowing the process behind the search engine's crawling and indexing methods. It has taken years for me to understand something about search engines. Nobody can understand Search Engines and their algorithm completely.
It's very important for you to do search engine optimization of your website for getting huge traffic (daily visitors) or else it's waste even though your website might be having a unique & highly professional web design. Huge traffic means, huge income from your website. You can proudly announce that you are a successful webmaster only if your website is having a huge traffic. Even if you don't know about how to do SEO, there are thousands of highly professional SEO experts available for you to do the SEO work of your website.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO, is the art & science of making website-pages more attractive to the SE (search engines).
The better optimized the page is, the higher a ranking it will achieve in SE search result listings. This is especially critical because most people who use SE only look at the 1st page or second of the search results, so for a page to get high traffic from a search engine, it has to be listed in those 1st 2 pages.

During their stay, guests will have use of the lounge wherein coffee, tea and home-made cakes will be provided and there is an open log fire to enjoy during the colder months. Free WI-Fi is also available.
Breakfast is served in the lounge between 7:30am and 9am. In the warmer months breakfast may be served in the garden. We offer a variety of cooked breakfasts made with eggs from our free-range hens, home-made bread and locally sourced bacon and sausages.
Unfortunately we do not cater for dogs in the Farmhouse.
A light and spacious room for two, with a shower en-suite; equipped with a hair-dryer, an alarm clock and a television. The room overlooks the farmyard and is, again, situated on the first floor of the farmhouse.
This lovely single room is often offered as an accompaniment to the double room as the bathroom facilities are shared. Suitable for a child or extra guest. Just as the other two rooms, it is equipped with a hair-dryer and alarm clock.


"H.R.H. Prince Philip of Yugoslavia"
A very sensitive drawing of HRH Prince Philip. Catching an age of innocence is apparent in this work, and the light touch by the artist allows the image to breathe.
The gaze given off by the subject forms a personal uninterrupted bond with the viewer.

What is Nextstrain?¶
Nextstrain is a project to harness the scientific and public health potential of pathogen genome data. Our goal is to aid epidemiological understanding of pathogen spread and evolution and improve outbreak response.
We believe that if pathogen genome sequences are going to inform public health interventions, then analyses have to be rapidly conducted and results widely disseminated. Current scientific publishing practices often hinder the rapid dissemination of epidemiologically relevant results. An open, online system that implements robust bioinformatic pipelines to synthesize data from across research groups has the highest capacity to make epidemiologically actionable inferences.
Pathogen surveillance
Our website, nextstrain.org, provides real-time snapshots of evolving pathogen populations such as SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and Ebola. We use interactive visualizations to enable exploration of curated datasets and analyses which are continually updated when new genomes are available. This offers a powerful pathogen surveillance tool to virologists, epidemiologists, public health officials, and community scientists.
Open-source software
The software we write to power all parts of Nextstrain—bioinformatics, visualizations, analysis pipelines, data management, and more—is entirely open-source and available to the public. We aim to empower the wider genomic epidemiology and public health communities to tweak our analyses, create new ones, and communicate scientific insights using the same tools we do.
A platform for sharing
nextstrain.org is not just our platform: we're dedicated to supporting the work of the community through Nextstrain Groups and other sharing mechanisms. Our intent is to lower the barriers for public health organizations and research labs to both share their results publicly and collaborate privately.

Wright Dynasty FAQ
Find out the most frequently asked questions regarding the Wright Dynasty hip implant.
Home » Medical Devices » Wright Dynasty FAQ
Lawsuits have been filed against Wright Medical Technology by people who underwent hip replacement surgery with a Dynasty Acetabular Cup System, a hip implant component that has been linked to early failure rates and metal poisoning (metallosis).
Free Confidential Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one suffered complications after being implanted with a hip replacement device, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit and our lawyers can help.
What is the Wright Dynasty Hip Implant?
Wright Medical's Dynasty Biofoam Acetabular Cup System is a hip replacement component that features a trabecular structure which is designed to mimic bone and contribute to bone in-growth and biological fixation. The device was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2009.
FDA has cautioned that metal-on-metal hip replacement devices like the Wright Dynasty implant can cause metallosis, swelling, life-threatening allergic reactions and soft tissue growth. Patients with these complications are usually advised to undergo revision surgery, a painful and time-consuming process in which the implant is removed and replaced with a new one.
What are Hip Implant Complications?
Inflammation, swelling
Problems standing or walking
Dislocation of the hip joint
Implant loosening
Metal poisoning (metallosis)
Systemic reactions (organ damage)
Bone loss in the hip
Soft tissue growths (pseudotumors)
Tissue necrosis (tissue death)
Can I File a Wright Dynasty Lawsuit?
Only a qualified attorney can determine whether you are eligible to file a lawsuit against Wright Medical Technology, the maker of the Dynasty hip liner, which is why we are currently offering free case evaluations. Simply fill out the confidential evaluation form below to contact our law firm now.
What are Complaints Alleging?
Most cases involving medical devices allege that a product was sold with design, manufacturing, and/or marketing defects, which typically refers to a company's failure to warn of a certain potential complication. In the case of the Dynasty shell, our attorneys suspect that patients may be able to take legal action in light of claims that Wright Medical Technology failed to adequately warn doctors and patients about the risk of metallosis and early hip replacement failure.
What Damages Could I be Compensated for?
By filing a lawsuit against the maker of Wright Medical Technology, you may be entitled to collect compensation for all current and future medical expenses related to the treatment of your injury, as well as for damages for pain and suffering. Additionally, filing a lawsuit can help hold the manufacturer accountable for releasing an allegedly defective medical device into the marketplace, and to discourage other companies from engaging in similar conduct.

Fish – People with fish allergies may be sensitive to all or only a couple types of fish. They are often advised to avoid all fish as a preventative measure. Fish allergies can occur at any age and can be life-threatening. Unfortunately, a fish allergy can be extra dangerous because unlike many foods that only cause a reaction upon contact, if fish is cooking and the allergic person breathes in the fumes, they can have a serious or life-threatening reaction. So not only do people with fish allergies have to avoid eating or touching fish, but sometimes must avoid even being around cooking fish or others who are eating it. Fish ingredients are often hidden in strange foods such as worcestershire sauce, caesar salad and dressing or Clamato drink.
Crustacean Shellfish – largely consist of shelled seafood such as shrimp, crab, lobster, prawns and crayfish. Mollusks can cause allergic reactions too but aren't as common as crustaceans. Similarly to fish, crustacean allergies can be caused by inhalation of the cooking shellfish or cross contamination as well as direct contact or ingestion. They are often caused by a protein called tropomyosin that is found in many shellfish. These reactions could be mild, moderate or deadly and may require the person to carry an EpiPen. While food companies must disclose shellfish ingredients, they don't have to list a warning about mollusk ingredients like oysters, so read the label carefully for keywords. Shellfish ingredients may be present in such foods as surimi, glucosamine and bouillabaisse, to name a few. It is a good idea to let establishments or planes know in advance about your allergy so they can refrain from serving dishes that contain seafood.
Soy – soy allergies afflict people of all ages and are usually caused by an intolerance to certain proteins in soy. It can be mild to life-threatening, often including such symptoms as gastrointestinal, respiratory, topical or anaphylaxis. Soy is found in a wide range of food products and can be difficult to avoid.

Only about 1% of the population has celiac disease (a serious autoimmune condition whereby gluten protein causes the body to attack itself) and 0.4% of Americans have a true allergy to wheat. However, a whopping 18 million Americans have a non-specific sensitivity to gluten (usually related to the digestive tract).
There has been some debate about the recent rise in people opting for Gluten Free (GF) lifestyles. Many people who have no medical issues with the substance have chosen to jump on the GF bandwagon, equating GF with better overall health. This may not necessarily be the case. While some wellness experts assert that limiting gluten consumption is best for everyone, many medical professionals argue that a GF diet can lack fibre and other essential dietary components and simply isn't necessary unless you've been diagnosed with one of the three aforementioned conditions. Controversy aside, people are free to eat what they wish so whether you have celiac, a sensitivity, a wheat allergy or just wish to evade the hotly contended substance, luckily more and more GF products are becoming available.
Rice flour has a great consistency that mimics standard flour better than some of the others on the list, but it is not as healthy as quinoa or brown rice flour.
Brown rice flour is healthier because it has more fibre than white rice flour and can be used for virtually anything standard flour can be used for.
Spelt flour is great for pizza crusts, and can also fully substitute traditional flour in a baking recipe.
Quinoa flour is one of the more nutritious options; it has a natural 'nutty' flavour and can be completely substituted in baking recipes.
Soy flour is especially good for thickening up gravies and other sauces.
Coconut flour is high in fibre, protein and low in fat. It also provides a nice taste to baked goods and is a favored GF flour.
Almond flour is great for coating meat for frying, also good for about 1/4th of the flour requirement for a baked goods recipe (can be combined with other flours).
* Many of these flours make up great gluten-free pastas as well, such as brown rice (one of our favourites), rice and quinoa!
There are great gluten free companies out there such as Glutino who make virtually anything you can think of gluten free such as: pizza, hot dog buns, bagels (including whole grain), frozen macaroni and cheese, cinnamon buns, blueberry muffins, cookies, pretzels and the list goes on.
The options are boundless and only continuing to grow with so many people going gluten free, which is certainly great for those with allergies and celiac as they have many more product choices now because of such high demand. Thanks for visiting DocChat! If you have any questions about celiac or gluten allergy symptoms, feel free to sign up today and try a videoconference with one of our highly qualified physicians!

Calgary fire department bills Canadian Pacific hundreds of thousands for derailments
Reid Southwick, Calgary Herald 04.10.2014
The Calgary Fire Department has sent CP an invoice — estimated to be less than $500,000 — for costs of response to a derailment on the Bonnybrook bridge last summer.Dave Moll David Moll / Calgary Herald
The Calgary Fire Department has sent CP a bill for more than $500,000 to cover costs of response to the derailment of eight cars loaded with highly explosive fuel at the Alyth yard last year.Rick Donkers / Calgary Herald
The Calgary Fire Department is taking the unusual step of asking Canadian Pacific Railway for hundreds of thousands of dollars to cover costs of the department's response to two derailments in the city last year.
The latest bill is for more than $500,000 after eight Canadian Pacific cars loaded with highly explosive fuel toppled off the tracks at the southeast Alyth yard in September, shutting down much of Inglewood.
Canadian Pacific is reviewing a separate invoice submitted by the fire department for its role in responding to a derailment at the sagging Bonnybrook bridge over the Bow River last June. That bill is estimated to be less than $500,000.
The fire department does not typically send invoices to industry, but officials take the step after considering how extraordinary the emergency and required response had been, said deputy fire chief Ken Uzeloc, who could not remember sending CP a similar invoice in the past.
"We need to make proper use of the budget we get from council, and that means if we think that someone else should pay for the response, we're going to look at that," Uzeloc said.
The fire department sent a Calgary recycling company a big bill after crews fought a stubborn blaze that lasted 10 days in 2012. The fire, which started beneath a scrap heap at Calgary Metal Recycling, was put out after fire crews, various contractors and other agencies worked around the clock.
The total bill for all who were involved had been estimated to be in the seven-figure range.
The fire department can also charge businesses that cause or contribute to emergencies after violating a law, act or regulation, but Uzeloc said it's unusual.
When fire crews responded to the Alyth yard Sept. 11, they were on scene for 53 hours, at first containing the area before determining what was inside the cars — the crucial information was not immediately available — and cleaning up the mess.
At the emergency's peak, 12 trucks and close to 30 firefighters were on scene at a given time, with rotating shifts. In all, 56 trucks responded to the Alyth yard over two and a half days.
Ed Greenberg, spokesman for CP, declined to comment on the fire department's invoices, saying that any discussions on the expenses are between the company and city.
The other invoice covers the fire department's costs after six cars derailed atop the Bonnybrook bridge in June. Five of the cars were carrying flammable petroleum products used for solvents, metal polishes, paint thinner and household paint. The sixth was empty.
None of the product spilled into the river, but emergency responders were involved in a tense rescue operation, which included securing the damaged cars to prevent them from falling while workers pumped out the fluids.
Fire officials are still negotiating with Canadian Pacific over the cost of the department's role in this operation, but Uzeloc said it's less than $500,000.
The deputy fire chief expects to receive some level of compensation for the two derailments.
"They have been asking questions about what this apparatus does or what this abbreviation means, and we are providing that information to them," he said. "But we have not had any indication that they will not be paying any of the invoice."

Q: UITextView link not clickable iOS 8 I followed this : UILabel and NSLinkAttributeName: Link is not clickable and  UITextView link is clickable, but when I click it, Safari doesn't open  but to no avail.
I have :
uitextView.attributedText = ... some attributed string "http://google.com" ...

"Links detection", "selectable" and "user interaction enabled" are enabled.
"editable" is disabled.
I also implemented UITextViewDelegate
- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldInteractWithURL:(NSURL *)url inRange:(NSRange)characterRange
{

    return YES;
}

However, the link appears blue but when I click, nothing happens.

A: I had the same issue. Nothing did help.
The problem was, that i added UITextView to ScrollView and then used sizeToFit.
For example: I had view.frame (0,0,320,440). And ScrollView contentSize (0,0,320,1000)
And links in view.frame works but when you scroll down - not.
Than i tried to check what view is selecting when you scroll down and tap on UITextView. I added UITapGestureRecognizers and find out that when i tap in bounds of self.view frame in bounds of UITextView it tapped on UITextView. But when i scroll down - the tap recognize as tap on ScrollView.
In other words it is like frame of UITextView clips by self.view bounds.
EDIT:
I found the problem:
I had View - ScrollView - ContentView - Elements hierarchy. So there was a time, when ScrollView was bigger than ContentView, so link can be tapped only in bounds of ContentView.
To fix this i deleted ContentView and place all Elements to ScrollView. Hope this answer will help somebody:)

A: Try take this approach:
NSString *clickMe = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", word];
    NSMutableAttributedString * str2 = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:word];
    [str2 addAttribute: NSLinkAttributeName value:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://twitter.com/%@",linkWord]] range:NSMakeRange(0, clickMe.length)];

    // replace with link
    [YourAttributedString replaceCharactersInRange:wordRange withAttributedString:str2];
