San Francisco, CA – Life Is A Wave, the annual fundraiser hosted by Save The Waves Coalition, once again washed through the halls of 111 Minna Gallery in downtown San Francisco on Friday night, June 15th. The sixth annual bash raised $60,000 for Save The Waves' environmental programs, to further protect and preserve surfing coastline around the world.
Wallace "J." Nichols, Research Associate at the California Academy of Sciences and environmental campaigner, was presented with the 2012 Wave Saver Award for his work protecting the ocean environment. "Most people know I'm an optimist," said Nichols to attendees at the evening's VIP reception. "I'm an optimist because of groups like Save The Waves and because of people like you in this room, that are joining together in this fight to save our oceans." Nichols is a longtime Save The Waves supporter and advisor, and also serves on the World Surfing Reserves Vision Council.
This year's event featured an "Evolution of the Wetsuit Fashion Show," supported by O'Neill, Hotline, and Matuse Wetsuits, in honor of the newly dedicated Santa Cruz World Surfing Reserve. It also brought together live music from up and coming artists Mars Today and Jake Nielsen's Triple Threat, as well as top talents DJ Julicio and DJ Teeko.
"The event was a tremendous success and we're so appreciative of the support for our efforts," said Save The Waves executive director Ginaia Kelly. "Life Is A Wave is a rallying cry for the greater community around the importance of coastal protection and the fight to protect our special surfing areas."
Save The Waves would like to send an enthusiastic thanks to all those who donated to the auction and attended the event, as well as Life Is A Wave 2012 event sponsors, including Billabong, Pacifico, Hangar One Vodka, Clif Bar, Patagonia, Zola, Quiksilver Foundation, RVCA, Surfline, Hog Island Oyster Co., Longboard Vineyards, Peligroso Tequila, 7×7, and Earshot Entertainment.

How do You Know If You Have Great Gut Health?
Home → Digestive Health → How do You Know If You Have Great Gut Health?
How do you know if you have a perfect gut?
I get asked this question a lot. On forums, by coaching clients, and on podcasts.
No one knows. We know so little about the gut flora and gut bacteria we honestly have no idea. We know that some bacteria tend to want to have more of a commensal relationship with us, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium for example. People with guts that have greater diversity seem to have less digestive issues. Most microorganisms however, can turn on us and become opportunistic at any time.
I do, however, believe there are a few things that might point that your gut may not be in good enough shape as it appears to be.
Simply put, if anyone relies on probiotics or prebiotics frequently to relieve their digestive problems, then they have an underlying health problem that is not being properly addressed.
ost people should only take probiotics occasionally after a protocol, or occasionally during (if they are hospitalized) / after they have taken an antibiotic long term. Probiotics should not be taken for a long time unless medically necessary.
Probiotics that are used every day may cause SIBO in some people even if they are healthy. If something hinders their MMC (medicine, stress, diet) the extra bacteria in the large intestine might be swept back into the small intestine or are not properly flushed out of the small intestine following digestion. Also, people who take probiotics regularly might suffer from serious health problems if they have a sudden medical emergency, or their immune system becomes compromised.
Periodic ingestion of prebiotics and fermented foods should be all most people need to do to keep their gut flora optimal, for the most part.
Probiotics and prebiotics should be used as a supplementary tool to improve your digestive health, not your holy grail. I know this statement is totally against mainstream alternative medicine.
Your body can replenish flora most of the time on its own after taking antibiotics. Replenishment of flora is more likely to occur in a positive manner if you are in overall good health and completely eliminated opportunistic infections. Your gut flora might not be the same after using an antibiotic, but this is not always bad. If it were, EVERYONE, would be walking around with digestive disorders who used antibiotics. It is also possible that your bacterial floral balance was in a bad way before you took antibiotics, and your body was able to correct itself afterwards. You can try to supplement with prebiotics after antibiotics. Sometimes supplementation of prebiotics can help restore proper flora (other times it causes more issues by growing more opportunistic strains.) Of course, all of this does not mean that digestive issues do not occur because of antibiotics and that probiotics and prebiotics have no use for people who have digestive issues after using antibiotics. All I am advocating for is more caution when supplementing with probiotics and using a large amount of prebiotics after taking antibiotics. Ingestion of properly prepared fermented food or taking a GOS supplement are the most important actions one can do to improve their gut microbiome after taking antibiotics instead of taking a probiotic supplement.
Overuse of probiotics and prebiotics may cause SIBO. SIBO most of the time occurs because of a poor functioning MMC and not because of directly supplementing with prebiotics and probiotics themselves.
You may introduce the wrong "probiotic" bacteria to your gut flora, and that may cause even more digestive issues. Supplementing with probiotics is a coin flip. The information in this blog might help you make better choices when it comes to improving your digestive health, but even what seems like the best choice at the time may go wrong.
Any probiotic can become opportunistic, anytime.
Probiotics for most people should not be used every day and should only be supplemented when they are needed the most. Probiotics should not be seen as completely harmless, and caution should be used when supplemented to help support a healthy gut flora.
LOL with the Michael Pollen 21 hour lecture seires! Actually that does sound good. But I guess we can't snack during it .I'm with you on the food combining thing. The more faddy and exclusive we get with our food the further away we get eating real food and enjoying life. Call me old fashioned but smaller portions of all but veg suits most people.

JOHN EDWARD
'Crossing Over'
A web site devoted to Spiritual Philosophy cannot overlook the work of John Edward and the TV Programme: 'Crossing Over'.
It is my view that this is a tremendous breakthrough for Spirit working in this world. It demonstrates in a clear way what spirit communication is about and how our loved ones, and those we did not care for too much, continue to be alive in another 'world' which is, to most people, not apparent.
There are people for whom it is a daily reality but often this ability is quashed in childhood by ignorant adults or not wanted by the person who is afflicted with it. I know of mediums who came into Spiritualism in order to get rid of some spirit entity who was bothering them.
These people are known as 'naturals' in that they had the gift of contacting the spirit world from birth. This ability often runs in families and is no indication as to the character of that person. You do not have to be a good person to have 'the gift'.
John Edward is a natural and in his first book he talks about the decision he had to make about working for spirit or being a 'normal' person with an ordinary job. He was doing readings for friends and relatives as a 'game', not thinking it was anything important.
Many people in the UK will be irritated to some degree or other by the 'blue screen' announcement that the programme is presented by Living TV for 'Entertainment purposes only'. I suspect this is a compromise with the I.T.C. ( Independent Television Controllers ) who wanted - and most likely still do - this programme banned as it was shown during the day and 'would corrupt people's minds.' Mediumship should only be shown for 'research' purposes and then only very late at night. Some people kill whales for 'scientific purposes'.
I believe the BBC has a regulation that demonstrations of clairvoyance will not be shown. Many of the governors of the BBC are church people, which may have something to do with it. As I am a church organist and love sung services, praising God, (God is 'everything that is' - Seth) I cannot understand this, as the knowledge I have gained from spirit teachers has not affected my love of its rituals and music.
When Queen Elizabeth II opened the first TV station in the UK - Alexander Palace - she talked about it being important as to 'what was broadcast'. Older people know only too well what has happened as a result of 'what is broadcast': hate, violence, breaking the law, getting away with it, treating people like dirt, etc - you can make your own list.
These things are shown as being 'normal' and are rapidly absorbed into the culture of the day. Even James Bond depicts killing and destruction by the 'hero' as being praiseworthy, even though the stories are about good versus evil and, of course, he always 'gets the girl'. Soaps show a great deal of emotional violence which is the main reason why I, for one, do not watch them. The actors are so good - UK Soaps - that for many people that IS reality.
We are told that, as we know it is fiction, we can accept the violence, etc, as being 'entertainment' and not reality. For many people watching TV this distinction is not made.
We have heard of copy-cat crimes or the plot of a story being used for a real event. You cannot say what people will do with what you give them. Even a computer program such as Flight Simulator may have been used in the planning of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York. What people do with what they have acquired is up to them.
In my opinion if you sell/give somebody a gun sooner or later they will shoot you with it. You could say that selling guns is OK; it is the ammunition that is the problem.
What is missing on the television are programmes showing love and caring as being good. We often hear that there is only bad news as nobody is interested in good news.
For me 'Crossing Over' is showing just this. 'Appreciate and Validate those who are close to you now in this life so you do not need a Medium to do it for you when they are dead and gone' says John.
How important those closing words of the programme are. From some 2000 years ago the words of a teacher in Palestine echo down the years: Love one another, even those that hate and despise you!
Thank you, John, for what you are doing: bringing the knowledge of the continuity of life to the people in this world who have 'ears to hear' and 'eyes to see' and 'minds to understand'.
John Hardaker, Oct, 2003.

In 1853, a wealthy Manhattan socialite named Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones purchased 80 acres of land overlooking the Hudson River in Rhinebeck, New York. The daughter of Edward Renshaw Jones, a prosperous merchant, and Elizabeth Schermerhorn, the heir to a wealthy family, Elizabeth Schermerhorn Jones was so rich that she was able to spare no expense in her construction on that land.
The mansion she commissioned, called Wyndclyffe, housed 24 rooms over 7,690 square feet and was punctuated by castle-like arches, towers, and ostentatious details such as Tiffany skylights. The mansion was so grand that it's believed to have prompted a building boom, goading wealthy neighbors into remodeling, expanding, and building their own mansions to compete with the estate. Legend has it that this is how the colloquial saying "keeping up with the Joneses" was born.
Jones died in 1876. The mansion changed hands among various owners since then, falling further and further into disrepair until 2016, when it was sold at auction for a measly $120,000. Letting your home fall into disrepair? Anyone can keep up with that.

Yes, this is the same Mueller whom Trump disparages as the leader of 13 or 17 (the number varies) "Angry Democrats" who are engaged in a "WITCH HUNT!" Turns out that Mueller is not engaged in a witch hunt but a fact hunt. His willingness to set the record straight even when it helps Trump indicates his fundamental integrity – something that Trump implicitly admits by citing Mueller as an impartial authority.
But Trump should not take too much solace from Mueller's cryptic correction. BuzzFeed may well have been wrong in writing that Trump personally told Cohen to lie (although the publication still stands by its article). But Cohen himself admitted in his sentencing plea that his lie to Congress was "in accordance with Client-1's directives." So while the special counsel's team might not have evidence that Trump personally told Cohen to lie, it's not disputing Cohen's claim that his false testimony was coordinated with Trump's aides in furtherance of the president's own lies.
other words, long after it was common knowledge that the Russians were hacking Democratic Party computers. Trump might just have dodged accusations that he actively suborned perjury, but what he did was bad enough – he concealed his business dealings with a hostile foreign power that was helping him to win the presidency. That BuzzFeed might have gotten some part of the story wrong hardly exonerates Trump.
While BuzzFeed's disputed report does make the rest of the press look bad by association, we should remember how much the media have gotten right. Thanks to intrepid reporting we know that the Trump campaign tried to change the language of the Republican platform to be less critical of Russia; that Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, got millions of dollars from pro-Russian oligarchs in Ukraine; that Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, had secret conversations with the Russian ambassador and then lied to the FBI; that Trump pressured FBI Director James Comey to shut down the investigation of Flynn; that Trump told Russian diplomats that firing "nut job" Comey eased pressure on Russia; that the high command of the Trump campaign met with a Russian representative promising dirt on Hillary Clinton; that Trump repeatedly tried to fire Mueller; that Trump tried to hide details of his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin from his own aides; and that the FBI investigated Trump as a possible Russian asset.
steer reporters off what it believes to be an erroneous allegation. A few attention-grabbing articles – e.g., the Guardian report that Manafort met with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange or the McClatchy report that Cohen met with a Russian representative in Prague – remain uncorroborated by other outlets. When that happens, news organizations such as the Washington Post make clear that the reporting is unverified. Maybe they shouldn't mention the allegations at all, but it's hard to see how they can be ignored when they circulate so widely online – and when members of Congress are commenting on them, as they did after BuzzFeed's article appeared last week.
The press and politicos would be well advised take a deep breath and not pounce breathlessly on every new story claiming wrongdoing by Trump. But occasional blunders should not distract from the larger truth: The Trump era has been a golden age of reporting. Trump rages against the "fake media" not because they get so much wrong but because they get so much right that he would rather keep hidden.

Group of teens assault 2 men in San Jose, no arrests, police say
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Two men were taken to a hospital on Monday night after five or six people in South San Jose - ranging from 16 to 18 years old - allegedly assaulted them, according to police.
The assault was first reported at 9:47 p.m. in the 5700 block of Tucson Drive, San Jose police Sgt. Enrique Garcia said. Shots were fired in the area at the time of the assault, but Garcia said no victims were located.
No suspects are in custody as of early Monday morning. The victims suffered injuries not considered life-threatening.

We customize to your needs!
Every hospital, even every department within a hospital, is different in many ways – strategic priorities, technical conditions, process workflows, types of patients and budgets will all vary.
The CareServant portal consists of a core architecture and basic functionalities which can can be quickly installed in any hospital environment. Plus, it is very flexible to adjust to the specificities of each institution.
There are different aspects of customisation which hospitals can choose from in the CareServant solution.
CareServant uses various types of centrally managed devices, including fixed terminals, iPads and Smart TVs, and also support Android mobile devices as part of a BYOD solution.
We can manage different types of devices concurrently within one management system.
That allows us to create outstanding user experiences (e.g. iPad plus TV in single bed room) and to manage transition from current to new devices over a longer period of time.
We have excellent experience with iPads; already at 9,7″, patient feedback is – due to the outstanding display resolution – very positive.
Ipads have to be protected by an enclosure that is easy to attach to an arm or a stand. It needs to be theft-proof, antibacterial and with good audio functionalities. Our preferred solution for a 9,7″ iPad is the one from our partner company iQmount.
iPads and Terminals are best used with a mounting solution, which gives patients the hands-free user experience, with the flexibility for distance and angle.
For additional flexibility, Careservant has developed a stand with 3 possible positions (landscape flat, landscape steep, portrait), which can be connected to the mains via a steel reinforced cable. (This solution is well suited for waiting rooms and outpatient stations).
Our mounting solutions are using the VESA 75 standard to connect the device with the arm/stand.
BYOD solutions can be offered for the more recent iOS and Android devices (tablets and mobile phones).
With a customised authentification process patients have access to all the applications within the hospital network; some applications can also be accessed from outside the hospital network, for example from home.
For many hospitals, infotainment is a basic offer and is therefore not charged to the patient. However, the CareServant Management System makes it possible to differentiate: some services (eg Free TV, Basic Clinic Information) can be offered free of charge, and others can be chargeable.
Differentiating between various patient groups (Standard vs. VIPs) can also help tailor the offering.
Our integrated accounting and payment functionality makes the charging of the patient easy and transparent.
By differentiating between different patient groups (for example standard or supplementary insurance), different amounts can be calculated or customized services can be offered.
We offer both OPEX and CAPEX models, or a combination of both, depending on hospitals' investment and budget preferences.
Automated and fully dynamic personalisation is possible via CareServant's own HL7 middleware.
This integrates our portal with the Hospital Information Systems.
Thanks to a simpler form of personalization (without HL7) the patient can fill in some important personal data beforehand.
Based on this information, the content can be personalized and privacy guaranteed.
We can offer a static version of the software with the same content for all patients so that hospitals can start quickly with minimal internal resources.
We often start co-operations with hospitals via a small scale Proof-of-Concept (PoC) or pilot project.
In many cases hospitals are looking to start "small", either in terms of functionalities or in terms of number of hospitals beds, and to roll out in phases once first experiences are made.
We can project manage also large and complex implementation including different types of integrations with 3rd party software.


But the authorities took no chances in case community groups staged protests to condemn the decision to spend 29.9 billion rupees ($400 million) -- much of it public funds -- to build the statue over a nearly four-year period.

"Respecting a network architecture yields better guarantees of reliability, longevity, and modularity, but much better performance can be potentially achieved through wisely chosen violations to that architecture."
In a nutshell, this is the message of a recent paper (see  in Chapter 1) outlining pros, cons, consequences and risks of cross-layer design, a currently widely adopted paradigm for wireless networks. The increasing attention and momentum that cross-layer design has recently gained is explained by its potential advantages, namely the network performance improvements that can be achieved, especially under stringent constraints in terms of hardware and computational power. A short definition of cross-layer design identifies this technique as a means of performing information exchange among different layers in the classic ISO/OSI protocol stack model, and of harvesting the potential design opportunities and performance improvements that follow. However, by breaking the modular structure of the ISO/OSI stack, one may encounter two orders of problems: first, unwanted interactions may be introduced; second, the generality of the architecture is lost. While a careful design phase can overcome the first problem, the second one requires stronger efforts. In fact, any cross-layer design is inherently specific to the type of network and scenario it is applied to, and limits the performance improvements to that specific type. Due to this loss of generality, the same protocol hardly offers the same results as applied to different types of networks.
In this Thesis, we will show two relevant examples of successful cross-layer design applied to two very different kinds of wireless networks. The first example deals with ad hoc networks with multiple antennas and MIMO communications. Due to the specific scenario, it can be assumed that nodes have high throughput needs and can accept to, e.g., spend more energy in performing the processing required by MIMO signaling in order to achieve greater communication speed. The analysis of this scenario is focused on the design of a novel PHY-aware MAC protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks and on the analysis and optimization of its performance.
A completely different point of view is required instead to handle wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the second type of wireless network considered in this Thesis. Peculiar to WSNs are the usually low communication speed, processing capabilities and energy supplies. Among others, these constraints do not allow complicated signal processing or the storage of a large amount of information. In turn this requires to limit the buffer of the nodes (the sensors hence have only a limited packet queue) and also to design protocols whose "state" can be summarized and efficiently held in the limited memory of the sensors. In the Thesis, we will provide an in-depth analysis of a geographic MAC/routing protocol for WSNs, and build upon it to yield a complete solution for channel access and packet forwarding. Part of this study is the design of an algorithm to route packets around connectivity holes, where geographic protocols alone fail.
In the appendix, the same cross-layer design concepts are applied to wireless underwater networks, a particular instance of WSNs where communications take place over long delay, low rate acoustic channels, and incur strongly frequency-dependent channel effects. All results (analysis, simulations, comparisons with other solutions) show that cross-layer design is in fact very effective, and offers valuable opportunities to leverage specific features that can lead to performance improvements in each kind of wireless network.

Q: Twig fill array with last 14 month I want to fill an array with the last 14 month with twig.
I tried
{% for i in 14..0 %}
    {% if i > 0 %}
        {{ "now -"~i~" months"|date("M") }}

    {% else %}
        {{ "now"|date("M") }}* {{ i }}

    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

but that throws an error at this line {{ "now -"~i~" months"|date("M") }}

Failed to parse time string ( months) at position 0 (m): The timezone could not be found in the database")

This works
{{ 'now -15 months'|date("M") }}
and dumping i gives me an integer (I think):
Where am I wrong, is something like the above even possible?

A: You should surround with parentheses, as example:
{{ ("now -"~i~" months")|date("M") }}

So try this:
{% for i in 14..0 %}
    {% if i > 0 %}
        {{ "now"|date("M") }}* {{ i }}

    {% else %}
        {{ ("now -"~i~" months")|date("M") }}

    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Here a working example.
Hope this help

Are we going from "Artificial Intelligence" to "Augmented Intelligence?"
AI is going to augment natural human intelligence and enable people to gain the world's collective expertise while requiring less time and study than what has been required to become an expert in any one thing today. Traditionally in humans, an expert's mind possesses fewer possibilities for slower growth, while a beginners mind offers many possibilities for rapid growth.

Q: Parsing html to string and vice versa in Rails app I am in the middle of implementing a text editor in my Rails app.
My text editor only outputs html. When I'm saving it to my database, I need to stringify it. And when I load the text from my database it needs to parse stringified html to normal html.
1) parse html -> stringified html
2) parse stringified html -> html

How can I do this in Rails app?

A: I recommend using a text type to store your html. Assuming you're storing it in a column called content, I would display it as such:
#controller
def show
  @model = Model.find(params[:id])
end

#view
<%= @model.content.html_safe %>

This will render content as HTML instead of printing tags.

New Acting Chief Named for Capitol Police
(Jose Luis Magana/AP)
By Brian Freeman | Sunday, 10 January 2021 10:20 PM
A new acting chief of the Capitol Police was named Sunday following the resignation of the previous one in the aftermath of the riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a statement on the agency's website.
Yogananda Pittman, who joined the department in 2001 and rose through the ranks to become assistant chief of police for protective and intelligence operations in 2018, will be the acting chief.
Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund resigned after he was harshly criticized by lawmakers in the immediate aftermath of the siege at the Capitol on Wednesday, according to The Hill.
In addition, following the riot, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., asked for and received the resignation of Sergeant at Arms of the Senate Michael Stenger, according to NBC Washington.
Sergeant at Arms of the House Paul Irving also quit, leaving by the weekend only Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton on the Capitol Police Board, which oversees security on Capitol Hill.
Pittman has since joined the board, which is now headed by Jennifer Hemingway, who also is serving as acting Senate sergeant at arms.
In her two decades on the force, Pittman has experience coordinating presidential inaugurations, WUSA9 reported.
She has also been in leadership positions in the department, including investigating the disciplinary appeals and grievances against employees of the force.

Q: Generic class factory or method of hierarchy objects I have hierarchy  class and generic class:
       public class Form
       {
           public string Name { get; set; }
           public string Producer { get; set; }
       }

       public class Book : Form
       {
           public string Topic { get; set; }
           public string Autor { get; set; }
       }

       public class Copybook : Form
       {
           public string Topic { get; set; }
           public int CountPages { get; set; }
       }

       public class Notebook : Form
       {
           public int Cost { get; set; }
       }

       public class Request<T> where T : Form
       {
           public T Form { get; set; }
       }

I want to make factory or method, which will create objects of generic class in depend of logic and params. How it make? I tried to do this, but the code did not work:
        public enum FormParams
        {
            Book,
            Copybook,
            Notebook
        }

        public static class RequestFactory
        {
            public static Request<Form> Create(FormParams formParams)
            {
                if (formParams == FormParams.Book)
                {
                    return new Request<Book>();
                }

                if (formParams == FormParams.Copybook)
                {
                    return new Request<Copybook>();
                }

                return new Request<Notebook>();
            }
        }

A: If you think carefully, what you're asking for doesn't really make sense. What if you did this?
var request = RequestFactory.Create(FormParams.CopyBook);
request.Form = new Book();

If the underlying type of request was Request<CopyBook>, then its Form property would have the type of CopyBook, and trying to set its value to a Book wouldn't make sense.
If you determine that the above use-case should never happen, you can formalize that fact by using an interface that doesn't allow the Form property to be set. Then you can make that interface covariant.
public class Request<T> : IRequest<T>
    where T : Form
{
    public T Form { get; set; }
}

public interface IRequest<out T> where T : Form
{
    T Form { get; }
}

...
    public static IRequest<Form> Create(FormParams formParams)

But in that case you may find there's no reason to have IRequest be generic at all.
public class Request<T> : IRequest
    where T : Form
{
    public T Form { get; set; }

    Form IRequest.Form => this.Form;
}

public interface IRequest
{
    Form Form { get; }
}

...
    public static IRequest Create(FormParams formParams)

A: You need to add an Interface to your hierarchy so you can flag the generic parameter as covariant.
public class Request<T> : IRequest<T> where T : Form
{
    public T Form { get; set; }
}

public interface IRequest<out T>
{
    public T Form
    {
        get;
    }
}

And then you need to change the return type of your Create method to an IRequest<Form>.
public static class RequestFactory
{
    public static IRequest<Form> Create(FormParams formParams)
    {

        if (formParams == FormParams.Book)
        {
            return new Request<Book>();
        }

        if (formParams == FormParams.Copybook)
        {
            return new Request<Copybook>();
        }

        return new Request<Notebook>();
    }
}

Das Heidetränk-Oppidum bei Oberursel im Taunus gehört zu den europaweit bedeutendsten keltischen Oppida. Es befindet
sich auf den Hängen des Urselbachtals, das auch als Heidetränktal bezeichnet wird.

Die Anlage

Das Heidetränk-Oppidum erstreckt sich mit seinen Ringwällen über zwei Bergrücken, die nordöstlich des Heidetränktals gelegene 492 Meter hohe Goldgrube, sowie die Altenhöfe auf 575 Meter Höhe über NN. Insgesamt besitzt die Anlage eine Fläche von ca. 130 Hektar.
Für den Besucher sind heute vor allem die langgestreckten Ringwälle auf der Goldgrube gut erkennbar. Sie sind die Überreste von
Trockenmauern, die zum Schutz der Stadt vor Angreifern dienten. Der äußere Umfassungswall bestand aus einer 4 bis 5 Meter hohen und
ebenso breiten Pfostenschlitzmauer, wie durch Grabungsschnitte am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts nachgewiesen ist. Der Zugang zur Siedlung erfolgte durch
Zangentore auf verschiedenen Seiten des Walles. Besonders deutlich anhand der Bodenerhebungen im Wald zu sehen sind heute noch das südöstliche und das nordöstliche Zangentor. Insgesamt besaß das Heidetränk-Oppidum sechs solcher Toranlagen.

Archäologisch nachgewiesen sind außer den Ringwällen ca. 160 sogenannte "Wohnpodien", Terrassierungen auf denen wahrscheinlich Häuser standen. Bei einer seiner Grabungen am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts fand Christian Ludwig Thomas hier Pfostenlöcher, Herdstellen und Reste diverser Gerätschaften.

Unmittelbar außerhalb des Oberurseler Stadtgebiets zeigt sich ein lineares Wall-Graben-System, der sog. Heidengraben, der erstmals von Christian Ludwig Thomas 1911 archäologisch erforscht wurde. Neueste Untersuchungen erhärten den lang gehegten Verdacht, dass der Heidengraben das Urselachbtal im Vorfeld der Ringwälle Goldgrube und Altenhöfe absicherte.

Die Untersuchungen bis 2004 zeigen, dass das Heidetränk-Oppidum eine Fläche von circa 380 ha einnahm, das nun in eine Akropolis (Zentrum der Goldgrube), eine Oberstadt im Bereich der Podien am Hang und eine Unterstadt (Urselbachtal bis Heidengraben) gegliedert werden kann.

Zeitliche Einordnung

Funde einer kleineren Siedlung auf der Goldgrube reichen bis in das 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. zurück. Erst mit dem Ausbau zum Ende des 2. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. entstand jedoch das eigentliche Oppidum mit der flächenmäßigen Größe einer Stadt.

In der Mitte des 1. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. verlor das Heidetränk-Oppidum an Bedeutung. Es war längst verlassen, als die Römer später Teile Hessens besetzten.

Die Blütezeit des Heidetränk-Oppidums fällt damit in die späte Latènezeit. Es ist also wesentlich jünger als die nahegelegenen Anlagen vom Altkönig (5./4. Jahrhundert v. Chr.) und vom Bleibeskopf (8. Jahrhundert v. Chr.).

Archäologische Funde

Die archäologischen Funde aus dem Heidetränk-Oppidum umfassen zum einen Geräte für die Feld- und Gartenarbeit: zum Beispiel eiserne Pflugschare, Sichelmesser, Hacken und Sensenblätter. Weiterhin fand man Werkzeuge, die ein ausgeprägtes Handwerk belegen, außerdem keltische Münzen, vor allem den sogenannten "Nauheimer Quinar", der wahrscheinlich sogar im Oppidum selbst geprägt wurde.

Der Großteil der Funde befindet sich heute im Vortaunus-Museum in Oberursel.

Im Mai 2011 wurde mit der Archäologischen Staatssammlung in München in einem Vergleich vereinbart, dass ein von Raubgräbern im Heidetränk-Oppidum gefundener Schatz mit 349 keltischen Silbermünzen geteilt wird. Der Eigentümer des Oppidums, der Hohemarksverband der Städte Bad Vilbel und Frankfurt am Main, wird die Hälfte der Münzen im Original erhalten und bekommt von den Münzen der zweiten Hälfte jeweils eine Kopie. In München werden die gleichen Verhältnisse geschaffen, sodass beide Sammlungen den Schatz vollständig präsentieren können. Bad Vilbel hat inzwischen ihren Anteil an dem Fund an die Stadt Frankfurt am Main verkauft. Ab dem 22. Juni 2011 wird der Schatz im Archäologischen Museum gezeigt werden.

Rundwanderweg
Ein archäologischer Rundwanderweg mit ausführlichen, mehrsprachigen Schautafeln führt über den auf der Goldgrube gelegenen Teil des Oppidums. Er beginnt an der Fußgängerbrücke nahe der Endstation der Frankfurter U-Bahn-Linie 3 Oberursel/Hohemark.

Buy Apple Inc. (AAPL) Stock Until It Hits $125: Trader
ElisaRiva / Pixabay
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock pulled back a bit on Wednesday after climbing on Monday and most of Tuesday following the news last week that Warren Buffett had added to his stake in the iPhone maker. It seems the stock has found support above $100 per share after hovering in the $95 to $100 since late April. But when does Apple stock become overbought? Some bears say it already is, while one bull says $125 would be his sell level for the shares.
1. More than 14% upside possible in AAPL Stock
2. Biggest concern for AAPL stock?
3. Is Apple stock overbought?
More than 14% upside possible in AAPL Stock
Cowen & Co. equity sales trading head David Seaburg told CNBC's Power Lunch that he would buy Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock when it's lower than $100 and then potentially trade it up to $125 and within that range. He believes billionaire investor Warren Buffett picked up some shares of the iPhone maker at "the sweet spot," but he warns that the shares could become too rich. Buffett's firm Berkshire Hathaway reported on Friday in a regulatory filing that it had hiked its stake in the company by 55% or about $500 million.
So far this year, Apple's closing price has peaked at $112.10, and its year to date closing low is $90.32, which occurred in May following a sell-off as investors worried that the iPhone 7 would not be a strong cycle. The company needs a rebound after an exceptionally weak iPhone 6s cycle which brought the first year over year unit decline.
Biggest concern for AAPL stock?
Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi thinks Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock could even pass $125 per share, even after outperforming the S&P 500 by 1,230 basis points over the last 14 trading days. He believes the iPhone maker is undervalued in comparison with the majority of other stocks in the technology sector. In a report dated August 16, he outlined some possible roadblocks for the company.
He does think Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) can achieve estimates for the September quarter and notes that the company will benefit from the extra week in the December quarter, which means it will have 14 weeks in its first fiscal quarter. He believes the extra week will enable the iPhone maker to reach estimates for the December quarter as well, even if the iPhone 7 cycle ends up being another weak one.
He adds that estimates for the March quarter and for fiscal 2017 appear to be more aggressive, but he thinks investors will be willing to look past downward revisions after the December quarter and instead focus on next year's iPhone, the iPhone 7s or iPhone 8, as many expect it to be called. Next year's iPhone may be released as early as the middle of next year, if some rumors are correct, and it is expected to be a much larger upgrade cycle than this year's iPhone 7.
Sacconaghi believes the biggest risk to the near-term momentum for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock is "very weak December guidance," which he defines as an implied iPhone unit growth of 70 million or less. If this occurs, he said it would imply only 200 million iPhone units for fiscal 2017 and earnings of about $8 per share, both of which are probably below the buy-side consensus, he believes. Such numbers would also raise even bigger concerns of a more structural nature about Apple rather than just being a concern about one weak iPhone cycle.
Is Apple stock overbought?
Moving to the far bearish end of the spectrum, ACG Analytics macro strategy head Larry McDonald told CNBC's Power Lunch that right now Apple stock is "extremely over-bought." He noted that over the last nine months, "central banks and sovereign wealth funds reaching for yield" have snapped up approximately 52 million shares of the iPhone maker's stock. He believes Apple stock is at a premium right now because the company pays a dividend. He's concerned about this because it's a trend that reminds him about what was common in the 1990s.
He added that investors or asset managers that produce dividends "are the heroes today" and that this is a sign that a trade is "extremely crowded" He believes that this is something that investors should want to fade.
Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) declined by as much as 0.21% to $109.15 during regular trading hours on Wednesday.

Lynn Valley Town Centre: from humble beginnings
September 14, 2016 By imcleod in North Shore, Urban Villages Project Tags: Lynn Valley development, Lynn Valley village, North Vancouver development	1 Comment
Mountain Highway at Lynn Valley Road. The "Lynn Valley Life" site says the structure on the right, dating from 1912, is the only surviving commercial building from the original settlement. The photo is from realestatenorthshore.com
In the 400-page official plan of the District of North Vancouver, Lynn Valley's commercial area is the designated "municipal town centre."
On the first pass, this town centre is a crossroads row of shops flanked by gas stations and strip malls. And to an outsider, it seems an odd location for the action centre in a municipality of 80,000 people. It's closer to bear habitat than to the Municipal Hall or the District's busiest east-west street. But there are services and public amenities tucked away in various corners, and rapid new development may bring transformation over the next three to five years.
New low-rise condos along Mountain Highway are improving the diversity of the housing stock. The Lynn Valley Village complex, developed in response to the 2011 plan, features a library and art gallery, professional offices, and a sort-of-European-style plaza with cafe tables. Most such concrete spaces in Canada are lifeless failures, but this one feels okay, at least on a late-summer morning.
Most dramatic is a construction project underway next to the Lynn Valley Centre shopping mall. Bosa, a developer, has started work on the first phase of a combined 360-unit housing complex and mall expansion. The new units, at least as shown on the current Bosa website, will take advantage of spectacular mountain views in an area where earlier developments turned their back on the hills. According to the North Shore News, the Bosa project will "revitalize" the town centre, although the exact direction is not clear. The old Safeway supermarket will go; new restaurants will pop up.

Co-tourist Robert Smarz and I visited Lynn Valley early on a Friday, stopping for breakfast at the hiker-friendly Tommy's Cafe. After an excellent conversation with the owner about perogies and Saskatchewan, we walked a short loop around the east side of the village. Comfortable homes, some of them sprawled over two original small lots, are arranged around a network of parks and creeks. Traces remain of the original crossroads settlement that grew up here before 1930. The streets here are peaceful; the seniors' tower and the town homes that qualify Lynn Valley as an urban village are out of sight, on the other side of the mall. The Bosa project, combined with other proposed apartment development, may create some localized parking and traffic issues, but it also promises to bring added retail services and street interest to a neighbourhood where people have money to spend.
[This is post #33 in our Urban Villages series. The District of North Vancouver has posted a video about the design system that has been adopted to govern future development of public spaces at Lynn Valley.]

With the Bosa development, this supermarket (we were told by a resident) will disappear. The roadway in front becomes a traffic-calmed street.

Brendan Dawe says:
I worked in an office facing that plaza area in the spring of 2013, and I can attest that it was always a lively place, with people coming in and out of the coffeehouse and the library at all hours of the day and all days of the week.

Temporary Arrangement: Anna Oxygen
"Temporary Arrangements" is a unique concert series that invites artists to form one-night-only bands and stage their premiere—and, by definition, also final—performances at the New Museum. Curated by Wynne Greenwood, the series emerges out of the DIY ethos of Greenwood's legendary feminist band Tracy + the Plastics, an all-girl group that toured the country from 1999 to 2006, in which she played all three parts—frontwoman, drummer, and keyboardist. "Temporary Arrangements" proposes a collaborative model that is makeshift and provisional from the outset, asking what can happen when a group is formed without future expectations in mind.
Kicking off the series is a band organized by Anna Oxygen, the self-described "mystical pop avatar of Anna Huff." Huff has released several albums of electronic and acoustic music, including her solo album This is an Exercise and a fantasy metal rock opera soundtrack for her performance group Cloud Eye Control. Her solo and performance work has been presented at MoMA P.S.1, Long Island City; the Seattle Art Museum; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art; and Röhsska Museet, Gothenburg, Sweden; among other venues.

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, who represents California's 19th district including Santa Barbara, introduced Senate Bill 186 on Monday, which would authorize California community colleges to discipline students with suspension or expulsion for off-campus conduct.
Jackson said her bill is a response to concerns voiced by community college students and representatives, who she continuously consulted while writing SB 186.
"In doing this bill, I was listening carefully to concerns that were expressed by, particularly, our own community colleges both in Santa Barbara and in the other parts of the district, which were very concerned about the limited scope of their ability to discipline," Jackson said.
SBCC President Lori Gaskin said the bill would provide an important resource for the college to police its student body.
"Senator Jackson and I have talked about areas that provide options for California community colleges to ensure the standards of student conduct are understood and honored," Gaskin said.
Jackson said the bill would hold Isla Vista residents who attend SBCC to the same behavioral standards already enforced on UCSB students.
However, Gaskin also said while she is glad Jackson authored the bill, it is "bittersweet" that the legislation is necessary to maintain student discipline and that there are better ways to encourage good behavior.
Isla Vista Foot Patrol Lieutenant Robert Plastino said SB 186 would help law enforcement maintain safety in areas surrounding campuses by including community colleges in that process.
Second-year SBCC undeclared major Daniela Hunt said she agrees with the general idea behind the bill, but expressed concerns about its potential for overreaches of authority.
"If the student was in trouble for something drinking-related, it should not be the school's concern and the student has a right to privacy," Hunt said.
Second-year SBCC engineering major Colin Andrews said he agrees with the idea of holding college students living in the same community to the same standard, even if they attend different schools.
Gaskin said she recognizes the need for discipline but hopes students take the time to consider the consequences of their actions before the disciplinary process becomes necessary.
Senior Associate Dean of Students Debbie Fleming said it would be good for SBCC and UCSB students living in I.V. to have consistent rules.
"In Isla Vista, where we have both UC and SBCC students living and socializing together, this new bill will help to create more consistent accountability and level the expectations and consequences for student residents," Fleming said.
According to Fleming, the university strictly adheres to a code of conduct that is very similar to what SBCC would likely adopt similar policies if SB 186 is passed.
Jackson, who co-authored California's recent "Yes Means Yes" bill with Senator Kevin de Leon, said this bill is part of her long-standing commitment to addressing sexual assault on college campuses.
Hunt said she thinks SB 186 would increase accountability for perpetrators of sexual assault, creating a sense of security for students.

'Burn baby burn, disco inferno'... the callous, singing arsonist who mocked neighbours after he set fire to their house while they slept
The family thought a faulty tumble dryer cause the blaze. Then they checked CCTV footage

A man sang 'burn baby burn, disco inferno' after setting fire to his neighbours' home as they were sleeping.
Isaac Brooks was overheard singing the chilling refrain, from The Trammps song Disco Inferno, just days after the arson attack on the home of an 'innocent family'.
It proved to be the culmination of a campaign of hate waged against the family, which included the 42-year-old directing vile insults at two disabled brothers.
A couple - a man and a woman - were sleeping at their home in Farnworth, Bolton, along with their two sons when they were woken up by a loud bang in the early hours of February 11.
Thinking they were being burgled, the man went downstairs to investigate.
When he opened the living room door, he was faced with a cloud of thick, black smoke and intense heat coming from the kitchen.
After realising the house was on fire, he shouted to warn his family, before going upstairs.
Bolton Crown Court (Image: M.E.N.)
His two adult sons had already woken up. The man dragged them out of the house, before going back to find his wife and dog.
Prosecuting, Wayne Jackson said the woman had been oblivious to the house being on fire as she had taken sleeping tablets before going to bed.

Firefighters arrived at the house minutes later and put out the fire.
One of those watching as crews doused the flames was Brooks.

In the immediate aftermath, the woman was taken to a neighbour's car.
While sat in it, she noticed Brooks standing by the driver's side and shouted at him to go away.
Mr Jackson told the court the fire had caused substantial damage to the semi-detached property.
An estimated £30,000-worth of contents were destroyed and the family was forced to move out for three months while repairs were carried out.
At first, a faulty tumble dryer was thought to have caused the blaze, but the family became suspicious three days later when they discovered wires to their CCTV system had been cut.
Forensic investigators retrieved footage from a neighbour's camera, which captured what really happened.
The footage showed a man climbing over a fence at the rear of the house before pouring a petrol-like substance through a tumble dryer vent.
He then set it alight before fleeing the scene as the blaze took hold inside the kitchen.
When the man who lived at the house was shown the footage, he immediately recognised Brooks.
Bolton Crown Court heard the pair had known each other for around seven years and that there had been a number of disagreements.
Brooks would regularly shout abusive comments at the family, mostly directed at the two sons, the court heard.
One of his preferred phrases was 'you f*****g inbreds, I'm going to burn the lot of you', which he shouted at the family on the evening of the blaze.
On February 14, just days after the fire, Brooks was heard singing 'burn baby burn, disco inferno'.
When his home was searched by police, plastic bottles containing lawnmower fuel were discovered.
Defending, Kevin Liston, said the offence was 'out of character' and was borne out of substance misuse.
He said Brooks had been using drugs since he was 10, but had sought assistance while in custody following his arrest.
A jury found Brooks guilty of arson with intent to endanger life, and criminal damage, following a three day trial in August.

'This has destroyed us. There's no closure. I need answers'... someone can tell this man's grieving mum how he died
The defendant, of Sandpiper Close, appeared before a judge via video link on Friday morning to be sentenced.
The court heard Brooks had 37 convictions for more than 80 offences.
Judge Martin Walsh handed him an extended sentence in light of the 'significant risk of harm' he posed to the public.
As well as 10 years behind bars, Brooks will also serve another three years on licence.
Sentencing him, Judge Walsh said: "This was a serious intended arson attack upon an innocent family who were fast asleep at their home address.

"Leading up to the attack, you had shouted abusive comments at the family, directed to the two children, because of their learning difficulties.
"It was a pre-meditated attack and there was a significant degree of planning.
"The victims were vulnerable and multiple people were endangered by your actions.
"It is by sheer good fortune that no one was killed."
Speaking afterwards, the woman who lived at the house said: "It should have been life. We could've been killed.
"[Brooks] was getting a kick out of it. That's why he came out and walked up to the car when we were outside."

Now that he is 101, it remains to see if my dream of his death at that age will prove true.
Of course, given the odds, it's a pretty fair proposition, psychic dream or not.
"Having had so many small parts, there was a character I played that showed up all the time and people did get to know him, like an old friend."
I say bless you Charles Lane, but you can go tommorow if you'd like.
Vote Republican, did you? Nice poem, you ignorant religious bigot. Move to Kansas; they tolerate your type there, so I've heard.
F*cking hell. Don't the mods usually delete this kind of propaganda'ed posting/promotion of websites?
Is Charles Lane a good choice for '06?
The above early post by Banshees is perfectly spelt, a miracle I thought, until I realised he'd just cut and pasted it from imdb.
Charles Lane deserves a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Mr. Lane is richly deserving of the honor. At his advanced age, it should be done ASAP while there is still time.
The Deathlist's Holywood Walk Of Fame also hope's to add a star including him possibly this year?
Charles Lane is 101 years old. It shouldn't be to long before he takes a stroll on Deathlists walk of fame.
Who says he's still walking?
I was going to to argue in the "Not Famous Enough..." thread that Barnard Hughes was at least as famous as Charles Lane but then I got to thinking and I thought I'd raise the issue.
Is Charles Lane likely to get a British Obit? I mean, he's well known in Deadpool circles because of his age and his prolificness. In fact, along with Johannes Heesters he's probably one of the only actors out there who's known well enough that people care that he's 100+ years old (confusing sentence, I know, but I think you get my point).
Is Charles Lane likely to get a British Obit?
Yes, he will. Whether he gets one immediately, like a BBC Obit, I do not know, but he'll definitely get a mention in one of the broadsheets, even if it's just a "Deaths in Brief" for example.
Other than that, he's one of the last links with the stars of the Golden Age. There aren't many left who acted alongside Barrymore, Tracy, Stewart, Cooper etc.
Had a dream last night where Charles Lane and Milton Friedman were catapulted into a tree in the middle of nowhere and I had to try and save them by traveling through time. Long story short, Lane died and in the end, Milton Friedman proved to have magical powers that allowed him to teleport, so he saved himself. Then I had to deal with the army of duck penguins that my cat had sent to my front door as he tried Friedman's teleport trick, but that's another story.
That's the second time I've had a dream about Lane dying, which, granted, means nothing, but is more than the F**k all that has been in the news about him.
Charles Lane has a character like no other. He referred to himself as an old friend that would drop by in sitcoms and old films. What a life.
It is just over 6 weeks to Mr Lane's 102nd birthday and if any of you avid researchers fans would like to ask about the party plans or send a greeting there's an email link on this site which might achieve results. The link dates from his 100th birthday party in 2005 but might be worth a try.
Happy Birthday Charlie, 102 today!
Right 102 years old. Charles Lane made his first movie 'Smart Money (1931)' - I personally think everybody should stand up from these chairs and give this man a few claps. For god sakes. Get the f**k up off your chair and give this guy a hand. Come on, 102 years old. And thanks to me he is on here. So far what a life, What a wonderful life.
Come on, 102 years old. What A Wonderful Life.
Lane is probably thinking It's A Wonderful Life.
He was in that too. Top man.
I'm not sure how many of you tuned in to the 79th 'Academy Awards' - I couldn't be bothered.
But I was thinking of the possibility that Charles Lane could have attended the first session back in 1928. Can anybody find living proof of this?
And if anybody could be bothered, unlike myself - Could somebody post the slide show or just the names of those who were given tribute last night? I have always enjoyed that. The short film of those who left us last year ..
Yes. No Chance. He didn't make his first film until 1931!
I also doubt he would've been there much in the early days - he really became a bit more known when Frank Capra started casting him in his films in the mid-late 30's onwards.
The first actual awards were in 1929, though, for 1927/1928.
I doubt if anyone would be still alive from the first two or three. Luise Rainer, Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple are still around from the early 1930's, Gloria Stuart too.
Certainly all the winners in 1927/28 are long dead.
That's surprising too given, if you trust Wikipedia, that less than 250 people attended, no broadcast was made and the winners were announced far ahead of time. The whole ceremony lasted 15 minutes.
Very interesting link Paul. That woman made her film debut 82 years ago.
I share your enthusiasm. I'm thinking of getting an autograph.

Introducing Dr. Samuel Mao, Masdar Institute's New Senior Director
Dr. Samuel Mao joins Khalifa University as the new Senior Director of Masdar Institute to bring his extensive experience in developing cutting-edge technologies, and promoting international collaboration and global commercialization of energy and environmental technologies to the UAE.
In July, Dr. Mao delivered a lecture on KU Main Campus discussing the route from innovation to commercialization for sustainable energy technologies. He covered the research of solar-driven photocatalytic hydrogen, and the commercialization of the world's first lithium battery-powered heavy-duty hybrid electric truck.
Dr. Mao's ambitions for Masdar Institute and Khalifa University at large center around delivering sustainable energy technologies to industry as well as academia. His main focus is ensuring the efforts and innovations of staff and researchers at the university can be optimally commercialized.
After receiving his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in 2000, Dr. Mao established the Institute of New Energy in Shenzhen, China, and began helping to commercialize sustainable energy technology. His background and experience over the last ten years will see him drive similar efforts at Masdar Institute and benefit the university beyond its contributions to science and academia.
Dr. Mao has published 160 research articles that have received more than 42,000 citations, and is the holder of 80 patents in the United States and abroad. In addition to co-founding three international materials and energy technology conferences, he also speaks globally and serves as a technical committee member, program review panelist, grant proposal evaluator, and national laboratory observer for the US Department of Energy.
