area where it may help fellow modellers. Writing short articles like these on painting heads is only worth it to me if someone else can benefit from it. That's where I get the most satisfaction from the hobby.
Here is a relatively interesting project which did not take me long but is a new one for me. Someone had asked some time ago how I would approach painting Asian subjects. Something I have never done but I was a little interested myself in trying this out. I made an attempt using one of R. Saunders' 1/35th scale heads. The approach was similar to my usual way but when mixing the oils, I used Yellow Ochre (instead of Gold Ochre - more black) with Titanium White and a touch of Mars Red (instead of Sienna). Using Yellow Ochre for the flesh mix did not make it obvious at first but does make for a very small contrast to my other figures.
I am not convinced changing my colour palette was necessary at all, particularly where the figure is so small and if he is stand-alone. In future, I will probably just stick to what I usually use. I think it may only be on larger figures (120 mm) where it is necessary to vary the colour tone slightly, especially where one might want to place a caucasian figure along side.
1) Spray an undercoat of Tamiya Desert Yellow mixed with acrylic Flat White in a ratio of 2:1 mixed with gloss coat and allowed to dry for 12 hours.
2) Mix up Raw Umber and enamel thinner. Apply a *VERY* thin wash to the entire face and neck. Add washes until you are satisfied with the results. Let it dry for one day. Remember to exaggerate where there are deep creases.
3) Eyes were tricky on this one. I dropped a small amount of black mixed with thinner into the sockets. When dry , I added two tiny specs of white oils mixed with a tad of pink oil paints in the corners. I have to be honest, this was not really necessary as one cannot see anything at normal distance. I use my trustee toothpicks for this "operation". When dry, I dropped a little gloss with thinner into the socket to give it a little life. This was also unnecessary.
4) Prepare a flesh mix by adding Yellow Ochre, Mars Red, and Flake White to a 3:1:4 ratio. Apply the paint to the entire face by dabbling and poking - and not stroking. Stain the paint on in very thin coats. Let this dry for an hour.
5) While flesh is still semi wet, add a few dots the size of a typed period of pure white to each of these highlight points - Upper cheek bones, ridge of the nose, above the eye browse, chin, sides of nostril, tops of ears and knuckles. Leave under direct light for three hours. Stroke downwards with a soft, dry, brush very lightly downwards across the face one or two times. The white paint will then be blended into the semi-dry flesh colours leaving a subtle highlight colour.
6) Add some raw Umber into shadows areas with a liner brush - note the heavy crease under the cheeks and around the eye socket in the photo. You are accentuating what should already be there as a result of your earlier wash.
7) When completely dry, add a pin head-size drop of pure white highlight to the peaks of the facial features again (the eye ridge, nose bridge, top of cheeks, sides of nostrils, and chin). Let it sit for one hour and whisk a dry brush across the face downwards very lightly. On the lower lip, mix a little Crimson colour to your flesh and paint in the lower lip only. When dry, place a little spec of white in the middle of the lower lip. When I took the photo I had not brushed out that little white spec completely as yet - but you can see how much was put on. It is very little.
I did not add a five o'clock shadow or eyebrows for obvious reasons. I have yet to do the hair but will opt to throw on an Airfix 1/32nd scale helmet from the multi-pose. When head was thoroughly dry, I sprayed a thin coat of semi gloss to the head from above so that the gloss catches only the protruding features. This is really crucial. It will add that much more life to your figure.

Q: UIButton shadow layer effect I am creating a UIButton similar to this image:

I tried it by using following code:
+(void)createShadowOnView:(UIView *)view color:(UIColor *)color width:(CGFloat)width height:(CGFloat)height shadowOpacity:(CGFloat)shadowOpacity andShadowRadius:(CGFloat)radius{

    view.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
    view.layer.shadowColor = color.CGColor;
    view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(width,height);
    view.layer.shadowOpacity = shadowOpacity;
    [view.layer setShadowRadius:radius];
}

I was able to achieve this:

I want shadow effect on Button to be kept only on bottom part.
How can I achieve desired effect.

A: Maybe you should set view's backgroundcolor, so the title has no shadow, you can set view.layer.shadowOffset to change the shadow size.
UIButton *customBTn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
customBTn.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
customBTn.frame = CGRectMake(100, 100, 200, 50);
[customBTn setTitle:@"Sign Up" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customBTn setTitleColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:1/255.0 green:168/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
customBTn.layer.borderColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:1/255.0 green:168/255.0 blue:244/255.0 alpha:1.0].CGColor;
customBTn.layer.borderWidth = 2;
customBTn.layer.cornerRadius = 25;
customBTn.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
customBTn.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0,8);
customBTn.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.9;
[self.view addSubview:customBTn];

Output :-

A: Only issue with your code is you missed to set background colour for your sign up button. Use this code,
self.signUpButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[UIView createShadowOnView:self.signUpButton color:[UIColor lightGrayColor] width:0 height:2 shadowOpacity:0.3 andShadowRadius:0];

A: Preview:

Code:
UIButton *buttonWithShadow = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

Captain Mayhem's Revenge Escape Room Review
The Room Is No Long Available
BOOK THIS ROOM
Mind Bender's Captain Mayhem's Escape Room is one of the easier rooms in Jacksonville, Florida. It has fun theme with a Goonies feel. This is the best room in Jacksonville for new players. It is also conveniently located near engine 13. From the beginning you are challenged by Captain Mayham to try to turn on the lights. It is a very popular room to the point they have a hard time keeping the room properly ventilated.
Story: Captain Mayhem is one of the most notorious and feared pirates in history. In 1636, leading a band of scoundrels, he set sail on The Revenge. Destined for the settlements in the New World, he vowed to conquer and destroy anyone in his way. After raiding and scuttling several Spanish galleons' laded with Mayan treasure, Captain Mayhem's luck soured and his fate was sealed. A violent storm proved fatal. The Captain and crew were lost.
Over the centuries, explorers have searched for The Revenge and its long lost treasure. Recently, an unidentified 17th century ship was discovered by amateur explorers. Their wild tale of an encounter with a blood-thirsty pirate captain was quickly dismissed.
While vacationing on a private island in the Caribbean, you and your group stumble upon the rotting remains of what could very likely be the infamous vessel. Upon examining the wreckage,you realize something's not right. Suddenly, you're trapped! It's the ghost of Captain Mayhem. The only way to stay alive is to locate the treasure and escape from the hold.
Immersion: The walls feel like wooden ship planks, the props are mostly skulls and guns and the puzzles all work in a pirate ship theme.
Game Style: Adventure/Find An Item
Game Flow: A great game flow with one puzzle that may make you stick. Use your clues wisely and you will navigate this room will flow with ease.
Puzzles: All of the puzzles make sense and will keep you on the quest to find Captain Mayhem's treasure.
Game Master: The Game Master performed well, though this room progresses so well you may not need any assistance.
Group Size Suggestion: 2-7
The Jewel Heist Escape Room Review
Price: $30 per Person
Mindbender's Jewel Heist escape game is one of the top 3 in Jacksonville. It's recommend that you have some type of experience to enter this room, though a beginner can defiantly make it through. This escape game has some of the best puzzles available today and it always feels like you are on the road to finding the jewel.
Story: For years, everyone has searched for the famous Templar Ruby. Said to be the most precious and perfect stone in the world. Its origins trace back to the Knights Templar and legend has it that it is has been hidden away in Ashton Manor for over 100 years now. Many have tried to break in and find the ruby. Many have come back empty handed, many were arrested, and some have never returned, including famed criminal mastermind Barnaby Caper. Is the Manor booby trapped? Is the ruby really there? Barnaby believed he had figured out the Manor's secret, but he has never returned. Can you break into the Manor, find and steal the Templar Ruby, and make it out alive before the cops come to arrest you? You must work quickly and quietly to find the clues and solve the puzzles to find the ruby's location
Immersion: As you step into the dark room you don't know what to expect but once you figure out the first puzzle you get the feeling that you are in a mansion on a mad quest. This room has a feel that many others don't enjoy the Jewel hunt in this mansion escape room.
Game Style: Theft/Find An Item
Game Flow: Getting the lights out is a bit tedious and one or two puzzles are not exactly apparent but the room continues nicely as you move through puzzles.
Puzzles: Mind Bender found away to present unique puzzles in a traditional theme. All of the puzzles are very good, continuously escalating even leading to the final puzzle. Word to the wise, know your locks before attempting this room.
Game Master: The Game Master was fantastic keeping us on pace. As a game master he was able to hide any game flow problems.
Jack The Ripper Escape Room Review
Jack The Ripper Escape Room had a great concept that didn't live up to the potential. This room has a couple of puzzles that are not hard to figure out but very hard to complete. You will have hearing issues as a puzzle attempts to maintain the period but leads to confusion in completion of the puzzle. The other major issue is a puzzle that requires a certain level of hand dexterity that not many have.
Story: On November 9, 1888, Mary Jane Kelly's lifeless body was found on the east end of London. It's widely believed that she was the last victim of the notorious murderer, Jack the Ripper, who terrorized the streets of Whitechapel. Detectives worked tirelessly to solve the mystery and arrest the killer, but to no avail. The man responsible for these atrocious crimes was never brought to justice.
No one ever thought he would ever resurface…until today! Over 30 years after the slayings another vicious murder has rocked the streets of London. The remains of a woman were discovered last night in a back alley.
Eerily similar to the previous crimes, an anonymous letter reached Scotland Yard this morning. The letter announces the return of Jack the Ripper, whereby he promises to embark on another series of heinous murders. But, there is one piece of information in the letter the police haven't released to the public. Familiar with your past involvement in these investigations, Jack specifically threatens to come after YOU!
Being an authority on these infamous crimes and your past work as a detective, Scotland Yard calls reopens the case and calls upon you. Armed with the letter and old evidence that was gathered from 1888, you need to work quickly to finally solve the clues and puzzles and uncover the true identity of the ripper within the hour before he kills again and makes you his next victim?
Immersion: This is an outlier for Mind Bender Escape Games. The puzzles they used for an 1800s room included a brand new bike and electronic coffee maker. The walls are plain and very underwhelming.
Game Style: Detective
Game Flow: The game flow is not the best. As you go through the room you will run into some major choke points. One choke point is so obstructive that it will literally have everyone standing around one person trying to complete a physical challenge.
Puzzles: The puzzles were okay. Unfortunately, that's all the praise I can offer. No puzzle was fantastic or made this room particularly memorable.
Game Master: Of the two game masters the first was unable to stay in character for the full duration of the room, breaking the established feeling of immersion. The game masters call the participants via phone to provide information. This mechanism, while unique, actually obstructs communication as only one person can use the phone at a time. This being the case, different members of a team may hear a clue differently when given by the game master. Also the decision to come into the room in an effort to fix an effort to fix an error with a puzzle without stopping the time hurt the competitive nature of the room.
The 2nd game master was much better but provided too much information and a few clues not requested.
The Woodshed Escape Room Review
Difficulty: Beginner/Intermediate
The Woodshed escape game is easily one of the best if not the best escape room in Jacksonville, Florida. The room starts with an eerie feeling as you stand in the woods outside of a terrifying cabin. The entire room is a truly fantastic experience not for those who scare easily. The room has a mystique that is creepy with a few great jump scares. If you have the chance take advantage and book this room! You can tell the rooms designer really went all out.
Story: In a small town in North Carolina, there are some woods known as the Devil's Tramping Ground. They say that dogs won't go near the site and nothing grows in this area. Up for an exhilarating adventure you and your group head into the infamous woods for a short hike. Several hours into your adventure, you and your fellow hikers have gotten lost. With nightfall coming soon, there isn't much time before your situation becomes dire.
Frantically searching for help, food and shelter, you come upon an ominous looking wood shed. Following the clues left behind by a previous group, you break into the shed and hole up for the night. Once inside, however, you discover that you are in the home of the notorious serial killer Zachary Klein! A legend in these parts, he is a well-known psychopath that has a very unhealthy obsession with eyes and death.
This is the worst possible place you could have stumbled upon! But, now you are trapped and he could return at any moment. Will you be able to find your way out in time – or will you become Zachary's next victims?! You must work quickly and quietly to get out before he returns. Your life depends on it! Good luck!
Immersion: This room sets a standard for immersion. We felt like we were waiting in desolate woods in front of a dilapidated cabin. All the props kept a consistent flow immersion feeling the entire time.
Game Style: Escape/Serial Killer
Game Flow: The game flow is intense as you are thinking about the next step or scare the entire time.
Puzzles: The rooms puzzles are very good and rather simple. If the room had one thing against it the puzzles are not super unique but great nonetheless.
Game Master: The Game Master is very involved in this game the entire time. They must stay on it as they have a role in the room. You will see the role immediately when you start the room and throughout the rest of the room.

BOOM: HARRY REID OFFICIALLY 'GOES NUCLEAR'
Brett LoGiurato
Nov 22, 2013, 1:39 AM
REUTERS/Gary Cameron
The Senate just went "nuclear."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced a proposal on the Senate floor Thursday morning tp drastically change Senate rules on the controversial filibuster. His proposal requires only a simple majority vote to approve executive and judicial nominees.
The Senate passed the measure by a 52-48 vote Thursday afternoon. All but three Democrats voted in favour of the major rules change, which now allows most presidential nominees to get an up-or-down vote.
This doesn't apply to Supreme Court nominees or the passage of ordinary legislation.
Senate rules required a 3/5 majority to confirm executive and judicial nominees. Recently, Republicans have blocked three of President Barack Obama's nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, as well as Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.) to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency (which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). The mass blockade of judges, Democrats say, might leave them with no choice but to pull the nuclear trigger.
"Is the Senate working now? Can anyone say the Senate is working now? I don't think so," Reid said on the Senate floor.
"It's time to change the Senate before this institution becomes obsolete," he added.
Responding to Reid on the Senate floor, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that Reid was engaging in a "fake fight" over Senate rules to distract from the disastrous rollout of the Affordable Care Act.
He also offered a blunt warning.
"You will regret this and you may regret it a lot sooner than you think," he said, hinting that Reid should think about a possible GOP takeover of the Senate in 2015.
Democrats were confident leading up to the vote that they had enough Democratic support for the drastic rules change — talks of which have popped up in the Senate two other times this year.
One Democratic Senate aide on Wednesday pointed to members of the "old guard" who have previously been skittish about going nuclear — Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) — coming around this time, because they've had enough.
"We feel really good about the count," the aide told Business Insider.
This isn't the first time "nuclear" talk has flared up in the Senate this year. Most recently in July, the Senate appeared on the brink of "going nuclear," only to end up with a familiar last-minute deal. But the aide said that the only plausible way out of a confrontation this time would be Republicans giving in to all three D.C. Circuit Court nominations plus Watt, which would have amounted to a dramatic reversal from Republicans.

The title character in Eugene Onegin is a rich, world-weary dandy who's bored with life. It's an archetype that appears frequently in movies (The Thomas Crown Affair, Megamind, The Talented Mr. Ripley) and literature (again, Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley is one of the best examples).
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) bears more than a passing resemblance to Eugene Onegin, and not just because the titular character of the opera has much in common with Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law), the pretentious heir to a fortune who lives a glamorous, bohemian lifestyle.
The opera appears, in a subtler way, in the 2000 Tom Hanks movie, Cast Away. The Act III aria ("Lyubvi vse vozrastï pokornï") sung by Prince Gremin – Tatyana's husband – "is a classic aria for lyric bass," writes Henry Stewart in Opera News' Operapedia. "The melody is gushing but not especially complicated, which is why the Russian FedEx man … gets away with singing it, as he delivers a package to an American in a cowboy hat." The opera has also been translated into film about a half a dozen times, most recently in 1999 in a version starring Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler. See Opera Carolina's take on the original adaption of Eugene Onegin onMay 9, 11 and 12.

Guest Editorial: SF Needs to Get Serious About Connecting Caltrain
By Gerald Cauthen
Despite the renderings, the Transbay Transit Center won't have trains without a big push by City Hall. Image from Transbay Center website
The new Transbay Transit Center (TTC) is scheduled for completion in 2017. The foundation of the TTC, and the thing that makes it such an improvement over the old Transbay bus terminal it's replacing, is its underground train station for Caltrain and High Speed Rail. It will bring Caltrain, the connection between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, into close proximity with five Muni and four BART lines and over 40 bus connections, not to mention San Francisco's huge downtown employment center. The TTC should one day be the most important transit hub outside of New York City—a Grand Central Station of the West.
Now imagine that Grand Central without any trains. That's what San Francisco will have if it doesn't get working soon on a 1.3 mile downtown rail extension (DTX), to actually bring the trains from Caltrain's current King Street Station to the TTC.
Years ago, the City and County of San Francisco appropriately identified DTX as its number one candidate for Federal New Starts funding. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission ratified the selection and the Federal Transit Administration approved it. The DTX enjoys the strong support of both California Senators and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. In Sacramento, it is recognized for its importance to all of Northern California.
In November 1999, SF voters approved Proposition H by nearly 70 percent. The law mandates that "The Mayor, the Board of Supervisors, the SF Transportation Authority, and all relevant city officers and agencies shall take all appropriate actions to generate the revenue necessary to finance the Caltrain extension downtown." In November 2003 the SF voters approved Prop K by 75 percent, which provided $270 million for it. In June 2010 the voters approved Prop G by nearly 84 percent, calling for high-speed trains to go to the TTC. Clearly, voters want trains in their new station.
But DTX barely registers with the current regime at City Hall.
Mayor Edwin Lee's administration knocks the project. And at a recent meeting, SF Supervisor Jane Kim was asked why City Hall was "ambivalent" toward the long-awaited DTX project. Her answer was "we all support DTX, but it's very expensive, and we don't know where we can find the money."
It is surely expensive, at about $2.6 billion of the overall $4.5 billion project budget. But considering the importance for Bay Area commuters, the City needs to start looking hard for those funds. San Francisco is so far allocating less than three percent of DTX's costs, compared to the nearly 35 percent allocation to the relatively low projected ridership of the Central Subway project. Why do City officials continually talk of finding additional funds to extend the Central Subway, build Bus Rapid Transit on Van Ness and Geary, bring the Warriors to town and "beautify our streets"—but they don't talk about building DTX? Is City Hall failing to recognize how embarrassingly empty its TTC will be without trains and the tens of thousands of daily riders they bring? Maybe the City is forgetting all the additional commuters who will drive cars to and from San Francisco? Or maybe they just think someone else will rescue the project?
The financing for DTX will come from the City and County of San Francisco, the Transbay Mello Roos District, San Mateo County, Bridge Tolls, Caltrain surcharges, California Cap-and-Trade funds, CaHSRA, the federal New Starts Program, and private investors. But only the City of San Francisco has the savvy, financial muscle and political clout to pull it all together. The project needs serious and ongoing advocacy from Mayor Lee and the rest of City Hall—so far, there are no signs of it.
The heart and foundation of the TTC is Caltrain and High Speed Rail. With the right leadership, Caltrain can be running into the station by 2023. Without it, San Francisco will have built a humongous bus stop and a monument to civic incompetence.

Perhaps you should explain to the consultants planning the HSR system that their Transbay capacity analysis is completely incorrect. From the Preliminary Alternative Analysis (Page 4-12, or PDF page 57):
"Option 0(b)A, with which all HST service goes to the Transbay Transit Center and there is no HST service at
the 4th & King station, is not practicable and does not meet project purpose and need and objectives due to
insufficient capacity. A conceptual operational analysis of the San Francisco terminal options (see memo in
Appendix K) indicated that for most of the day, the terminal capacity is constrained to 4 to 5 trains per hour.
This is significantly less than the 10 HST trains per hour objective described in Section 4.1.2."
The memo in Appendix K contains on PDF page 45 the now notorious Caltrain timetable that shows the majority of Caltrain runs terminating at 4th & King.

Facades, Shakeups and Loans: Transbay is Officially Off Track
By Roger Rudick	| Apr 12, 2016
Streetsblog readers have probably seen the stories in the Chronicle, Examiner and others that San Francisco is preparing to loan money for the completion of the Transbay Transit Center (TTC), which is now facing a $260 million construction deficit. This is all coming as the Transbay Joint Powers Authority Board of Directors reportedly decided to remove Maria Ayerdi-Kaplan, the […]

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.
Despite May being the Physical Fitness and Sports Month, we should really celebrate this particular health awareness throughout all the months of the year. Physical Fitness is something that needs to be consistently worked on. Spurts of physical activity are more the norm than sticking to it, but something that is vital for everyone to know is that physical activity needs to be consistently done in order to benefit from all of the compounding benefits it has on the body.
The consistency of exercising leads to the notion of being physically fit. It changes the body in ways that allow one to build upon a strength. As the miscibility of chemical compounds, where like dissolves/mixes with like, fitness leads to fitness, as laziness leads to laziness. Water and oil do not mix; their chemical components repel each other. As is so with human nature and the body. Laziness does not mix with fitness, their characteristic components repel each other.
Everyone starts somewhere. Whether you park your car further down in the parking lot from the store entrance, you take the stairs to your office, you go for a quick bike ride or stroll around the neighborhood, start small. These small differences in your life will eventually lead to large differences if you stick to it.
Consistency. In a few weeks maybe you will go for a longer bike ride or stroll. As you continue exercising, even in the smallest ways, your stamina for exercise increases. Your body's fitness will increase as you increase your activities.
From youths to the elderly, Physical Fitness is key to a healthy life. Celebrate National Physical Fitness and Sports Month by enrolling yourself or your child in a sports league. Organized sports has not only physical benefits, but significant mental health benefits as well. Go to the park with your dog. Keep moving. Eventually your heart rate will get accustomed to your routine and you will no longer be exerting yourself. At that point, an increase in activity is warranted to get your body to that next level of fitness.
Every benefit of exercise applies across the board to all ages. If you start consistently exercising at a young age, its effects will be seen when you reach an elderly age. Physical activity leads to the improvement of: muscular strength, heart, bone, and mental health, a decreases risk for Type II Diabetes (we have started seeing Diabetes in children of young ages), as well as a decrease in your risk for heart disease.
*Before significantly increasing your activity levels, consult with your doctor. If you do not have a doctor or want health and exercise tips, walk in to ExpressDocs Urgent Care Center. The doctors on staff will be happy to talk with you about disease prevention and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Of course we are here for the sick, but we would much rather help you stay healthy and fit than see you later on when dealing with complications from a multitude of chronic diseases.
Come in now to start the preventative care of your long and healthy life! If you are suffering from any chronic diseases that may hinder your attempts at staying healthy, we will work with you to find a personal solution. There is not one method that works for everyone. One diet may help many people, but will fail others. The key is that everyone is an individual with individual needs, ExpressDocs will talk with you to find out what is best for you personally.

Sen. John F. Kennedy opened his West Virginia campaign here today and met the so-called religious question head on.
"I don't happen to believe one of those serious issues is where I go to church on Sunday."
After an address to the students in which he defended the primary system against criticism by former President Truman, Kennedy threw the meeting open for questions.
"I would not have come here if I felt there was some reason I couldn't answer that question.Nothing in my religious faith prevents me from taking the oath of office. If it did I shouldn't be a senator, I shouldn't have been a congressman, and I shouldn't have been in service."
Unless he believed the people of West Virginia believed in the constitutional provisions for the separation of church and state, and the ban of religious tests for public office, Kennedy said he wouldn't have entered this primary.
Because West Virginia's population is 95 per cent non-Catholic, it has been said his religion will overshadow the merits of the race between Kennedy and Sen. Hubert Humphrey here.
Vice President Marshall Buckalew of the former Methodist, now independent, college told Kennedy that, contrary to what he may have heard, the people of West Virginia "have an open mind in both their politics and their religion."
Shepherd's question was rather involved, and touched upon Kennedy's refusal to attend an interfaith meeting in Philadelphia several years ago. Kennedy's critics said he did not go because he was instructed by a church official to decline.
Kennedy told Shepherd and the students he didn't know it was to be an interfaith meeting and that he didn't know it was to be in a chapel of a non-Catholic church. He said he felt at the time it was improper to go as a representative Catholic, and he believes "I am entitled to go to church where I want."
Judged by the prolonged applause in the auditorium, the students approved the Massachusett's senator's responses.
From the campus he went to the capitol where he held a press conference in the esplanade, drawings crowds of Republican and Democratic statehouse workers. His next stop was Kanawha County courthouse, a lunch at his Kanawha Hotel headquarters, and then to Huntington. Tonight he will campaign in Beckley.
If he loses here, Kennedy said it will make his bid for the nomination difficult and "I recognize it will not be a help on the road to Los Angeles" and the national convention in July.
"I believe eyewash is a drink Milwaukee made famous."
While the office of president is far greater than Congress itself, Kennedy said, Americans have primaries for congressmen and conventions for those seeking the presidency. Perhaps a national primary for president is not the answer, "but a combination of conventions and primaries offers a solution to this difficult problem."
In the great struggle for the presidency, Kennedy said he believed the people should participate directly. This may be the worst way to pick a president, Kennedy added, paraphrasing Winston Churchill's definition of democracy, except that it is better than all the other ways that have been tried.
At the capitol, Kennedy said there was a poll taken here, last December, which helped him make up his mind to enter this primary, but that an entirely new situation has been created since that poll.
While there may be a move by other candidates to "gang up" on him here, Kennedy said he hoped the people realize other candidates had an equal opportunity to get into this contest.
Kennedy said he had known for some time that Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia was for Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas.
While he would like to be judged against all candidates, Johnson included, Kennedy added he thinks the people of this state will recognize that he and Humphrey voluntarily took on a great burden that Johnson and others did not risk.
That burden is the possibility of defeat.
"West Virginia, like Massachusetts, needs to build new industries and new jobs - to rebuild its older industries and help its older workers - to build the schools and the highways and the modern parks and cities that will bring new industries in and keep its young people from leaving for other states."
"That is what I pledged to do for Massachusetts when the pessimists were saying it was all 'washed up' - that is why I have stressed in my Senate work bills for area redevelopment . . . if I should be elected President of the United States, I will work unceasingly for more economic development for West Virginia and for the nation . . .

Earlier today I updated the net-ssh family of Ruby gems and I broke one of the rules of semantic versioning.
backwards compatible functionality is introduced to the public API.
I broke Chef. I broke Vagrant. net-ssh is pretty far upstream so in just a couple hours there were over 52,000 installs of the offending gems, much to the chagrin of sysadmins and devops folks everywhere.
Note: If you have any of the following gems installed on your system, you should remove them: net-ssh-gateway-1.1.1, net-ssh-gateway-1.1.2, net-ssh-multi-1.1.1, net-ssh-multi-1.1.2, net-scp-1.0.5, and net-scp-1.0.6. See my previous post.
The ~> will fuzzily match any gems less than 1.2 but greater than or equal to 1.1.0. This feature strikes a balance between ">= 1.1.0" (which is too loose) and "= 1.1.0" (which is too strict). The problem is that net-ssh-multi-1.1.2 changed the net-ssh dependency to 2.6.5 which made Chef uninstallable due to the conflict between chef.gemspec and net-ssh-multi.gemspec (2.2.x vs 2.6.5). Feels bad man.
So if I ruined your day, send me your email, Twitter, Skype, or phone number and I will reply with a personal apology.
(Offer expires Feb 12th at 07:59 UTC).
A big thank you to everyone who emailed, tweeted, and opened issues to help get this resolved quickly. Although regrettable, this is the only significant issue with net-ssh and friends in the 4 years (and 18M downloads) that I've been maintaining them. I feel pretty good about that.
and of course, Jamis Buck.
I know I'm not the only one who appreciates your time and effort. Thank you for making net-ssh better!
Updated (2013-02-06@13:00PST): Doh. Some previously updated gems were broken. See below.
In response to the recent vulnerabilities with rubygems.org, I spent the morning signing and re-releasing the Net-SSH family of ruby gems. The discussion on how to properly handle code signing is still ongoing so this could be just an interrim measure; however, the severity of the problem makes it necessary to have a solution in place now.
As of today, all net-ssh releases will be signed and verifiable with the public certificate at the end of this post.
They've been yanked from rubygems.org but if already have them on your system, you will need to remove them manually.
If you have any trouble let me know at net-ssh@solutious.com.
That's a moleskin and a usb key (with a metal case). The handwritten note is fine touch too.
Thank you @al3xandru and RethinkDB.
I'm Delano Mandelbaum, the founder of Solutious Inc. I've worked for companies large and small and now I'm putting everything I've learned into building great tools. I recently launched a monitoring service called Stella.
Solutious is a software company based in Montréal. We build testing and development tools that are both powerful and pleasant to use. All of our software is on GitHub.

President Biden signs Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law
"Juneteenth marks both a long, hard night of slavery and a promise of a brighter morning to come," he said.
President Joe Biden has signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.
On Thursday (June 17), the president signed the bill, making Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, a federal holiday. "Juneteenth marks both a long, hard night of slavery and a promise of a brighter morning to come," he said. "This is a day of profound wait and profound power. A day which you'll remember the moral stain, the terrible toll that slavery took on the country and continues to take. What I've long called America's original sin."
"Great nations don't ignore their most painful moments," Biden added. "They don't ignore those moments in the past. They embrace them. Great nations don't walk away. We come to terms with the mistakes we made. And remembering those moments, we begin to heal and grow stronger."
Elsewhere during his speech, Biden took the time to recognize Opal Lee, a 94-year-old Black woman who campaigned to make Juneteenth a national holiday. "Opal, you're incredible. A daughter of Texas. Grandmother of the movement to make Juneteenth a federal holiday," the president said.
He also shared some background on Lee's story. When she was 12 years old, a white mob burned her family's home. "Over the course of decades, she's made it her mission to see that this day came," Biden said. "It was almost a singular mission. She's walked for miles and miles literally and figuratively to bring attention to Juneteenth." He also asked those who were in the room to stand and give her a welcome to the White House.
The legislation to pass Juneteenth gained momentum following the murder of George Floyd last year. On Wednesday (June 16), Congress voted to make June 19 a federal holiday. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management stated that federal employees will observe the holiday on Friday (June 18) since Juneteenth falls on a Saturday this year.
Congress passes bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday
Senate passes bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday


Of course the German Magician was at the German School of Quito (Cumbaya). At his magic show there were nearly 500 people. A big success for the German School of Quito and – of course – the German Magician. The magicial event will be repeated in the future.
The magic show of the German Magician (Quito), Mr. Marc Magic creates a magical atmosphere. In his magic show there are serious and humerous acts that reaches the audience in a mysterious and fun way. The German Magician can perform the show in Spanish, English and of course German! He likes to amuse everyone in either private or company events.
The German Magician (Quito) sometimes has celeberties in the performances. This time Santa Claus is in person and is very happy because he does not have to work.
The German Magician (Quito) makes "very big" magic so I need a very large magic wand as well. The kids love it…adults as well. The German Magician (Quito) makes magic for the whole family.
The normal magicians leave the stage and the German Magician is looking for a way to the audience. Very different, very funny and not very German. These ideas are only of the German Magician (Quito)!
Want to see more? You can go to the next show of the German Magician. Maybe in Quito or perhaps en Guayaquil, Cuenca or Manta. Or in Columbia, Peru, Las Vegas or Europe. Visit the Facebook page for dates and events!
Do not forget that a moment that is left behind does not go on!

Thanks for another great post. Where else could anyone get that kind of info in such an ideal way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
Downloading material from this website is as effortless |as clicking the mouse rather than other websites which shift me here and there on the internet pages.
Spot on with this write-up, I really think this web site needs much more consideration. I'll most likely be again to read far more, thanks for that info.
Attractive element of content. I simply stumbled upon your site and in accession capital to claim that I get actually loved account your blog posts. Anyway I'll be subscribing on your feeds and even I success you get entry to consistently fast.
Hi to all, how is all, I think every one is getting more from this web page, and your views are fastidious in support of new people.
I realized more new things on this weight loss issue. 1 issue is that good nutrition is extremely vital while dieting. A tremendous reduction in bad foods, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and white-colored flour products could be necessary. Having wastes unwanted organisms, and contaminants may prevent desired goals for fat-loss. While specified drugs momentarily solve the situation, the awful side effects aren't worth it, they usually never give more than a short-term solution. This can be a known undeniable fact that 95% of fad diets fail. Thanks for sharing your notions on this website.
Good article. It is unfortunate that over the last decade, the travel industry has had to handle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu, swine flu, and also the first ever entire global tough economy. Through everthing the industry has really proven to be powerful, resilient as well as dynamic, locating new strategies to deal with difficulty. There are continually fresh difficulties and opportunity to which the field must all over again adapt and answer.
This web page is mostly a stroll-by for all the data you wanted about this and didn't know who to ask. Glimpse here, and you'll positively uncover it.
Its such as you read my mind! You appear to understand a lot about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I believe that you simply can do with some p.c. to power the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read. I'll certainly be back.

Climate Change has become a word which no longer needs a definition anymore. Unfortunately, we live in an era where we are first hand experiencing the effects of climate change. It has not only caused a shift in the Earth's weather patterns and average temperatures but has also affected a lot of people and their communities. Increased levels of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which have been generated since the industrialization, are leading to increased global warming.
Globally there is an increasing awareness regarding the perils of climate change. Under the aegis of the UNFCCC, nations have come together to institute a concerted plan of action under the Paris Agreement to contain the global temperature rise in this century under 2˚C, if not under 1.5˚C. However, in spite of the several actions planned, it is being realised that additional efforts need to be put in place to achieve the global target of 2˚C. One of the major areas that is being now targeted is the decarbonisation of the industrial sectors specifically Steel, Cement, Petrochemicals, and fertiliser, which essentially use fossil fuels as their raw material.
Among the above industries, steel accounts for nearly 50% of the carbon emissions. By 2050, the carbon intensity of steel production needs to be reduced by at least 70% globally, to be able to maintain the temperature rise within the 2˚C scenario. In India, the Ministry of Steel has committed a reduction of a specific emission of carbon dioxide to around 2.0tCO2/tcs by 2030 from 3.0t CO2/tcs in 2005 and transition towards a pathway to 'Zero Carbon Steel'.
As India's leading steel producer, JSW Steel, has taken the challenge to combat climate change by incorporating sustainability to its core operations and decision making. JSW Steel is committed to the reduction of a specific emission of carbon dioxide to around 2.0tCO2/tcs by 2030. To achieve this JSW has taken a pledge for,
1) Prevention of the causes of climate change
2) Mitigation and adaptation of the impacts of climate change
3) Building resilience to climate change
SDG Mapping of JSW Steel's Initiatives & Projects
SDG3
JSW Steel and its subsidiaries together account for ~23% of India's steel production. As one of the premier players in the industry, we consider it our responsibility to proactively reflect on and manage the challenges arising out of climate change. JSW has integrated climate change scenarios in its risk management system to build resilience and strengthen adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters. Some of the major tasks undertaken by JSW Steel to manage its climate change-related risks and opportunities are,
Climate Action Group
Considering the rapid developments related to climate change viz. technology, regulations, taxation, investors' growing expectations, disclosures, and so on, we have constituted a Climate Action Group (CAG) with cross-functional expertise encompassing R&D, strategy, operations, communications, etc. Facilitated by the Corporate Sustainability Team, the CAG operates as a central think-tank, to formulate and drive the climate change mitigation strategy and actions for JSW Steel towards a low carbon road ahead.
The primary responsibilities of the CAG are expected to be:
Conducting Scenario Analysis for Climate Change Risk Assessment
JSW Steel is currently conducting a detailed scenario-based climate change risk and opportunity assessment study to understand the long-term impacts of climate risks and opportunities on the company's operations across India. The study encompasses an assessment of both physical and transition risks that JSW Steel's operations are likely to face.
With regards to physical risks, JSW Steel is considering two scenarios – a Business-As-Usual scenario and an Optimistic scenario aligned with the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 and RCP4.5 scenarios respectively, as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Detailed analysis of site-specific climate risks is being carried out involving the assessment of changes in key climatic parameters that are likely to impact JSW Steel's operations, such as temperature, rainfall, water stress and sea level rise, under these scenarios.
As one of the leading producers of steel in India, it is important for JSW Steel to adopt technologies and low carbon pathways that are compatible with the goals of the Paris Agreement. This is why when it comes to the assessment of transition risks, JSW Steel is currently considering the use of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) Stated Policy Scenario (STEPS) and Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS) which take into account the 2oC limiting goal of the Paris Agreement. With these scenarios, JSW Steel is currently exploring the various policy, market, technology, and reputational risks and opportunities that are likely to associated with various climate-related elements such as upcoming climate-related regulations (e.g. EU CBAM), market trends (e.g. increased demand for low carbon steel) and a transition towards low carbon technologies (e.g. increased use of hydrogen as a fuel), amongst others.
While the aforementioned scenarios are being utilized to assess JSW Steel's exposure to climate risks and opportunities, the process of assessment is currently ongoing and could witness the addition of scenarios to suit the business needs of the organization as and if it sees fit.
Internal Carbon Price
JSW Steel has adopted a shadow internal carbon price of USD 20/tonne
Integrated Steel Plants FOR FY2020-21
JSW Steel has set up short-term targets for this Fiscal Year for all its Integrated Steel Plants. They are:

Company-wide target for specific GHG emissions for 2030 (tCO2e/tcs)
Company-wide target for specific freshwater consumption for 2030 (m3/tcs)
Company-wide target for waste recycling for 2030 (%)
To achieve a 'no net loss' of biodiversity at all our currently operating sites by 2030
JSW Energy
Worldsteel Association Climate Action Member
JSW Steel has been recognized by the World Steel Association for fulfilling the commitment to participate in the Climate Action Program for CO2 emissions data collection for two consecutive years. In 2008, Climate Action was launched by Worldsteel with an aim to collect and report CO2 emissions data for both on site-level and company-level CO2 emissions in order to obtain a base level of emissions for the steel industry as a whole. This data collection program is at the core of the steel industry's global steel sectoral approach to climate change. More details can be found here
As the world takes steps towards building climate resilience, disclosure of the same provides the bedrock for ambitious action. CDP is one such global platform for climate related disclosures – actions & progress towards building a truly sustainable economy for people and planet. By reporting to CDP, JSW Group companies (JSW Steel, JSW Energy & JSW Cement) gain competitive advantage as it helps to identify and tackle growing risks and find new opportunities. While JSW Steel has been associated with CDP since a 2013, JSW Energy & JSW Cement started disclosing the data in the recent years. In terms of carbon footprint, JSW Steel has been scored 'B' by the CDP. This score pertains to the 'Management' band, which acknowledges that the Company is taking coordinated actions on climate issues. The score is higher than the global average, the Asia average and the average of the metal smelting, refining, and forming industry. JSW Steel, due to its consistent and comprehensive CO2 emissions data disclosure, has also been ranked 1 by the CDP Steel Report 2019 in the Data Transparency rankings.
CII Working Group
JSW is the convener of the CII Working Group for Green House Gas (GHG) data collection from Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) sectors for Iron & Steel and Cement.
Other key aspects of our climate change resilience building exercise
JSW Steel and its subsidiaries together account for ~23% of India's steel production. As one of the premier players in the industry, we consider it our responsibility to proactively consider and manage the challenges arising out of climate change.
JSW Group is shifting its focus to increase the share of renewable/non-conventional energy consumption. JSW Energy is also looking at increasing the renewable energy in its production portfolio through solar & hydropower plants.
The most recent initiative of JSW Group to improve the environment is the "Single Use Plastic Ban" across all JSW Group manufacturing locations. Through this JSW has successfully built awareness among its employees and their families on the negative impacts of plastic on our environment and promoted the use of alternative sustainable materials. JSW Steel also plans for plastic waste utilization in its coke oven & Electric Arc Furnace. For more details on all the projects taken up by JSW in the field of waste management please visit the Waste Framework.
Through various initiatives of awareness improvement and building institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning, JSW is contributing to Goal 3 of SDG 13.
Climate change is associated with the exploitation of natural resources and JSW has taken upon itself to achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources. Details of all the projects taken up by JSW in the field of resource management can be found in Resource Framework
JSW Steel also incorporates social and environmental considerations while developing products. Key examples include:
Speciality steel that is used to manufacture energy-efficient motors
Steel structures that are used to install solar panels
Products for the agricultural market that have helped farmers to prevent spoilage of food grains and other crop yields
Products for the automobile industry that enable import substitution, leading to local employment generation and savings of foreign exchange
Given the fact that steel maintains an average of 86% recyclability, a substantial quantity of steel demand can be met using converted steel scrap. This ability of steel to be recycled again and again makes it a perfect material for circular economy.
JSW supports SDG 12: Goal 6 of sustainability information disclosure by regularly disclosing information on its performance of key sustainability parameters along with the sustainable practices adopted in its integrated report which is publicly available on JSW Steel's website here.
A circular economy is an economic system of closed loops in which raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible, renewable energy sources are used and systems thinking is at the core.
As a permanent material, steel is fundamental to achieving a circular economy through the 4 Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Remanufacture & Recycle.
Reduce – To promote circular economy of steel, the amount of material, energy & other resources required for steel production should be decreased, along with reduction of usage of steel in products without compromising their quality. JSW Steel has over the years increased the efficiency in the steel making process through augmentation of existing facilities and implementing energy consumption reduction initiatives. JSW also works together with its customers to understand the application of steel in their products and come out with better grades of steel which are well suited to their needs.
Reuse – It is the use of material or object again either for its original purpose or for a similar purpose, without significantly altering the physical form of the object. JSW contributes to circular economy by reusing the steel-making byproducts in other applications. For e.g. slag is used in cement making, dust is used for extraction of Zinc, hot process gases are used for electricity generation & tar is used for pitch, plastic and fertilizer production
Re-manufacture – It is the process of restoring durable used steel products to as-new condition to be used for the original application again.
Recycle – This involves melting of steel products at the end of their useful life to produce new steel. JSW recycles end-of-life steel to produce steel again by replacing hot liquid metal by scrap in the electric arc furnace. Currently, JSW Steel consumes only 4% of scrap and rest all is manufactured by conventional process where iron ore and coal are consumed to make steel. Major challenge was and still persists is the ready availability of end-of-life steel which can be resolved through a national policy in place.
JSW supports SDG 12: Goal 6 of sustainability information disclosure by regularly disclosing information on its performance of key sustainability parameters along with the sustainable practices adopted in its integrated report which is publicly available on JSW Steel's website at link
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
The Company aims to address the environmental impact of its operations with a strategic and long-term approach. This involves up-gradating and retrofitting infrastructure to make it sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes.
To achieve this, JSW is continuously evolving to improve raw material quality, energy efficiency, increase steel-making via electric arc furnace process and exploring possibilities in carbon capture and storage/utilization.

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
JSW has been contributing towards the SDG 6 goals by implementing protection and restoration of water-related ecosystems
JSW has taken up various water biodiversity conservation initiatives, 'Mangrove Conservation Project' in Dolvi being one of the highly appreciated one. In fact, it was also highlighted as a case study in IBBI India Business & Biodiversity Initiative publication 2019.
Mangrove Conservation Project
JSW Steel Dolvi Works depend upon JSW Infrastructure's Dharamtar Port for its inbound and outbound logistics. The Dharamtar Port is a riverine port situated on the creek which is formed by the flow of River Amba, with uniform depth in the range of 10 m, and has moderate cover of mangroves with mud flats and low-lying, marshy areas on its sides.
Heightened anthropogenic activities such as coastal development, deforestation, urbanisation, conversion into paddy fields and aquaculture ponds, over-harvesting of timber and fuel-wood, and dumping of domestic sewage have resulted in depletion of the mangrove's habitat and impeded its ability to provide ecological services. This also negatively impacts agricultural land due to intrusion of saline water, resulting in loss of crops for the local farmers. Considering these factors as well as the current port operation and future expansion, the role of mangroves in sustaining the creek has become even more crucial.
Taking cognisance of future operational modalities of the port and various impacts of anthropogenic activities, JSW has developed a 3-year Mangrove Restoration Plan in consultation with local stakeholders to mitigate impacts of the port, consider adaptation measures for future climate change impacts, and control intrusion of salt water into the agricultural lands.
The project was started in 2016, covering 5 contiguous villages and impacting around 16,500 fishermen and farmers from 6 group Gram Panchayats. The project was planned for three years and bifurcated in phases as summarised below.
Plantation of 3,00,000 saplings on a 60-hectare area with an investment of INR 283.35 lakhs
3 awareness- cum- training sessions for local stakeholders
Construction of embankment around the 5,000-hectare land to control intrusion of saltwater into agricultural land with an investment of INR 134 lakhs
Plantation of 1,05,000 saplings on a 20-hectare area with an investment of INR 21.08 lakhs
Plantation of 4,30,000 saplings
Target to plant 1 million saplings cumulatively by 2020 (3,00,000 done in 2019-2020)
The initiative of JSW supports India's National Biodiversity Action Plan 2014.
For more details of other biodiversity improvement initiatives of JSW Steel please visit Biodiversity Framework
SDG3: Good Health & Well Being
JSW aims to contribute to the Goal 3.9 of SDG 3 whose objective is to substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses caused due to hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.
The hazardous chemical used or produced by JSW steel are handled with utmost care ensuring no spillage into soil or water, which thereby causes contamination of the surroundings. Such waste materials are disposed as per the Hazardous Waste Management Rule 2016. The effluent generated is treated and reused inside the plant. All of JSW Steel's manufacturing locations are Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) i.e. they do not discharge any liquid effluent outside the plant premises and this water post treatment is either recycled in process or used for domestic purposes or horticulture. For more details on how JSW has implemented ZLD please visit the Waste Water Framework.
JSW regularly monitors the air emissions to ensure they are under the prescribed limit set by Central & State Pollution Control Board (CPCB & SPCB). In addition to that, JSW also implements various air emission management plans to curb and minimize emissions. Some of them include,;
Dry fog systems installed at 105 junction houses for fugitive emission control
More than 3 km of wind curtains laid at raw material handling area
Installation of scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators and bag filters for emission control
India's 1st EAF Plastic Injection System At Vijayanagar
JSW Steel has always been a frontrunner in developing and adopting new technologies.
In continuation to the ethos of effective waste management driven by JSW Foundation and our ongoing initiatives of making a plastic-free environment, Steel Melting Shop (SMS)3 has developed and commissioned first its kind technology - EAF Plastic Injection System, in India at JSW Steel Vijayanagar Works. Among very few in the world, this technology helps in injecting plastic waste and residue into Electric Arc Furnace (EAF).
As of today, plastic consumption of the Vijayanagar Steel plant is around 1.2 tons per day (TPD). However, it's estimated that we churn out over 3 tons of plastic every day.
Considering the growing awareness and sensitivity towards the environment, this novel intervention may prove to be a model project for other JSW Group locations to emulate and implement in near future.
It's definitely a significant step towards our many other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In long run, this project will not only positively impact our environment but will also impact our bottom-line through its cost-saving potentials.
